Welcome Midsummer. Though it may be an astrologically complicated week, at the peak of overheated days and sunlit evenings it’s good to move slowly, have safe adventures, and store up memories for the winter. It pays to bring our minds to points of brightness, good memories or hopeful projects- This is an emotionally volatile week depression can hover at the edges- our psyche can wrestle with ghosts and chase rabbits-so listen, process, and don’t believe the script the mind may write. We need to take extra care of one another, check in, and find the sit calm in the center of this gyroscope. The weekend can be fun if not intimate, perfect for family gatherings or a rodeo, woven with some wild headlines and a few chaotic moments. Today brings the party full Moon in community-oriented Aquarius, normally perfect for any gathering with like souls to celebrate life; music and… Read More

(all times MDT) Astrological aspects are often reflected by news headline which gives us a current myth to work on and a metaphor to remind us of our personal work. The recent headline grabbing conflagration between our government and immigrant families in the name of holding a healthy border is a painful illustration of the present astrological issues. An ongoing Jupiter-Neptune trine points out (and asks us to liberate) wherever our boundaries feel leaky, and wherever people are truly victimized. Mercury opposes Pluto this weekend and brings our mind to loss, loss of information, loss of people, how we handle depression, and who is in control of communication. The Sun is now in domestic, maternal Cancer, and this Wednesday the Moon will oppose the sun (a full moon) in paternal Capricorn, conjunct serious, restrictive Saturn, which may bring to a head this terrible debate around the American treatment of immigrant… Read More

Sweetness and fire describe the week. We have extra astrological access to strong opinions, enthusiasm with echoes of conflict, but also to a rich vein of imagination, intuition, camaraderie, and spirit if we can invoke enough insulation and objectivity to use this energy well. The fire and brimstone come as verbal Mercury opposes abundant Jupiter from the fixed signs of Taurus and Scorpio and increases both our communication skills but also our tendency to stick our heels in around what we think we know. Those opinions are not only strong but sharp and pointed because feisty Mars still squares Uranus; although this aspect is beginning to fade, this tense aspect that has kept the lava flowing and political comments pointed and stirred the sparks in any argument as well as revolutionary coals in the recent primary. It also loans us energy and helps us do what needs to be done.… Read More

(all times MDT) On one level, the aspects are lovely this week for connection, so flirt away and enjoy the lilac and spring fever. Get ready for May Day, the celebration of all things fertile. Possibilities, relationships, flowers, ideas are all bursting in the bloom. On deeper, more disconcerting level notice an intense push to accomplish, to exert willpower as Mars and Pluto conjunct and the Moon squares them both this weekend. Mars and Pluto are the two planets that symbolize physical energy, will, and power dynamics of all types, and they are both in the most determined and competent sign of Capricorn. Like a teacher that kicks us on stage, whether we’re ready or not, this conjunction pushes us forward. It’s a great aspect to declare a run for office; if we have a clear direction and organized marching orders this can be a really helpful aspect. But we… Read More

Like last year’s leaves swirling around the first yellow crocus in these March winds, our actions and feelings can spin in circles this week as retrograde Mercury slows us down and adds a quirky torque to the vibes, while the sun, Mercury, Uranus, and Venus all in brash Aries add speed and intensity and lower impulse control. Passover and Easter encourage us to slow down and make this weekend a sacred time, which can be a good use of this energy. But wherever we try to make progress on our ordinary work, we can anxiously spin our wheels or angst over the world’s priorities. Sparks fly easily through mechanical failure or misunderstanding throughout the week, but like a spinning gyroscope we can use this momentum if we stay centered. Although a vacation might be a good use of this week, we may have work to do or feel an urge… Read More

This first week of March rolls in like a lamb and out like a lion. After a foggy, internal, potentially low-energy but creative weekend, and moods with claws on Monday, the winds shift on Tuesday and bring a whiff of springtime. Mercury and Venus both enter fiery brash Aries, the rocket fuel of the zodiac, two weeks before spring officially begins and start a fresh chapter. There’s a reason why most revolutions get underway in the springtime. The fresh new life of spring, the crocus pushing their way through the remnants of snow is a revolution against the winter. The simple, straightforward energy we need to rip out the old garden, turn the soil, plant new seeds, encourage their growth and attend our crops until the harvest– whatever meta-level we want to play that on—brings a revolution every year. This year looks like it could be a doozy, so let’s… Read More

We are in the swampy emotionally swirling tail end of the astrological year with the Sun, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, and the asteroid Chiron all now in sensitive, perceptive Pisces. We may be feeling unusually vulnerable, but this lineup in Pisces can inspire us by the very vulnerability it induces. We recently became painfully aware of the unsafety of our children and teachers, once again. But this time the country is feeling this vulnerability so viscerally the situation is potentially catalyzing change. The surviving students did not stay in the victim mindset; they have a vision, a gift from Pisces, and are now out to change the world. It’s good for all of us to examine where we might have a disempowered internal victim voice, a tendency to feel sorry for ourselves. This Piscean time can be a chance to process all the emotions we hadn’t had time for all year… Read More

The planets ask us interesting questions this week. Our teams call us, people need us, our civic duty knocks on the door, and yet we may still have lingering personal work percolating throughout this winter, and may be enduring, recovering from, or avoiding the flu. So, how do we balance our needs the needs of our community, how do we practice good self-care while we honor our responsibilities. And how do we keep life interesting. This week’s full Moon in Leo, lunar eclipse, wants to know. Both as a person and country, if we ‘re too self-centered, the world becomes a worse place and our world and community suffers. If we overextend ourselves and put other’s needs ahead of our own- all the time- we don’t get our work done and lose the resilience we need to be of service. The Sun and Venus now in expansive, political Aquarius, joined… Read More

In 2018 we need to garden our perception and intuition like they’re our last hope for food. The most prominent aspect the year ahead is a trine between expansive Jupiter and intuitive Neptune (exact 5/26, 8/19, felt through September). Neptune stimulates the realm where our imagination, delusion, our hopes and fears, insight and lies, spirituality and intuition magnify and mingle, but it does not help us differentiate between them. To safely develop our intuition, we need to learn the difference between our desires or anxieties, and our true perceptions. We’ll need all our senses to guide us this year so that we can vision a better future and make it so, instead of feeling swamped with Neptune’s shadow of lighting or the illusion of wishful thinking. We can listen to the deeper call underneath the proliferating illusions of hopes and fear, beneath a Neptunian longing to escape, to feel what… Read More

Communication is key this week, don’t take it for granted; cherish every moment of understanding. As Mercury turns retrograde (Dec.2-22) and the Sun squares intuitive but confusing Neptune, we step out of ordinary reality and into mythic time. While this can help us create our holiday magic, we may feel like we’re walking through a foggy hall of mirrors and can’t quite see what’s going on.  At the same time, Mars opposes Uranus which increases our ingenuity, but also our pool of irritability and the likelihood of accidents. The planets offer us a few saving graces at the moment as they encourage both a deep and abiding curiosity to help us look past any misinformation until we find a deeper truth, and an opportunity to drop below tension and differences, and drop into an intuitive sense of connection underneath as Jupiter trines Neptune. As Mercury and Venus are both now in… Read More
