Rationality, steady accomplishment, endurance, patience; this may not sound like a warm and fuzzy holiday attitude, but these handy attributes are offered to us as the Sun conjuncts serious Saturn, sextiles hopeful Jupiter, and trines restless Uranus this week. With this line-up we can feel terribly serious, concerned, or with heavy spirits, which may be a totally appropriate attitude towards the world these days, but that Saturnine endurance and Uranian curiosity are also in there, and positively trine, and they can see us through. We just have to reach for it. Because the Sun so active this week we may be dealt a wild card; big things can happen for better or worse, a surprising relief or a fresh call to action. Look for more clues to this year’s agenda on both a personal and political level. That trine between Saturn and Uranus ripples in so many directions for the… Read More

We conflagrate, our emotional reactions are spicy and volatile as the weekend begins with a contentious interaction between the Sun and moon, the Sun in Scorpio and Moon in Aries, both in sparky Mars-ruled signs. Expect teeth-gnashing and venting from all political and personal corners.  The mood settles into a more determined groove, more ready to work towards our long -term goals, after Monday’s Full Moon in Taurus. Over this next week we may feel inspired to try and work together towards a better world, but may be so ready to wrangle about our philosophies that it’s challenging to find a common thread. Feisty Mars is now in collective, theoretical Aquarius. Venus enters determined Capricorn on Saturday and encourages us to reconnect with old friends, work, or communities that once fed us. Together they help us, loaded with opinions (both Aquarius and Capricorn are opinionated, political, Saturn-ruled signs) as we… Read More

Tempers swirl with the winds, so we can expect blustering storms on the campaign trail, but don’t need to invite that attitude to our dinner table. Halloween approaches, the winds pick up and bring in the cool scent of autumn while the week’s astrology brings in challenge and charge. Let’s get grounded and ready to make the most of sudden opportunity hidden in the challenges. The weekend starts under a wild and howl-worthy full Moon in Aries, a full Moon that brings out our inner adolescent, our desire to act out and rebel. Mercury opposes Pluto, and we see the power of words. We can also battle with our own discouragement and depression and may need a change of scene two clear our palette and come back to what truly matters to us. This full Moon can turn up our temper and snappy comebacks. We speak out. It can also… Read More

Let an emotional high tide flow through as the weekend begins under a full moon lunar eclipse at 24 degrees of Pisces. It is followed by a flare of energy or determination and brings a potentially creative, decisive, though not necessarily wise, beginning of the week. Eclipses can act like astrological acupuncture and unblock stuck energy, this one sensitizes us and helps us truly feel what we feel. And maybe feel what everyone else feels as well, as our psychic boundaries can feel unusually permeable. With the Sun and Mercury radiating Virgo work ethics we may feel the pressure to stay efficiently busy, but the rest of the aspects ask us to stay in our hearts. Honestly, everything will move faster if we slow down and pace ourselves. The week arcs through sensitive perception, followed by action and a restless heart, and this can play out in many ways. Be… Read More

This week brings paradoxical messages from the stars; some aspects will slow us down and others stimulate events that need our attention right now. Let’s roll with the changes in the agenda, take advantage of serendipitous spontaneous moments, but let’s not even pretend we can control what happens. To work with these mixed planetary instructions, it helps if we dance with the paradoxes and explore all possibilities but jump to no conclusions. Look back to the past, but stay aware in the present. Take delays as an opportunity to make better decisions. Mercury retrograde in its own sign of Virgo adds a slapstick quality of outrageous communications glitches and brings strange twists of fate. Legal decisions can flip-flop. We may need to go back and touch base with people we know and love as well as people with whom we’ve worked with before and might again. Friday unfolds under an… Read More

This is a Labor Day weekend to relax, not labor. The astrological conditions are lousy for industrious efficient precision but lovely for introspection, reconnecting with old friends, helping, healing, analyzing woes and discussing what makes the world fair and lovely. It’s time to listen to our soul and share our thoughts. It’s time to listen to the dragonfly hover over the pond or dove coo in the corner park. As the weekend begins the Sun opposes confusing, drifting Neptune, which can leave us feeling fuzzy, foggy, waterlogged, or just painfully aware of factors which challenge our decisions. Sloppy or foggy conditions, misunderstandings abound, so does a perfectly healthy desire to escape for the weekend. Drift away, but be careful around potential water damage, storms, fossil fuels, or awkward alcohol consumption, all Neptunian dangers. A friendly and fair Libra Moon conjunct sociable Venus helps us relax and connect with one another… Read More

This summer the astrological patterns have constantly reminded us of the world’s serious problems underlining our summer’s flowers, fireflies, and lightning-crackled summer skies. The world’s problems don’t go away, but after this next week, the underlying mood has a chance to lighten. But we have healing work to do first. Venus, Mercury, and the Sun are all now in internal, self-protective, home-nurturing Cancer. The Mercury and Sun opposed serious Pluto yesterday, leaving an emotional heaviness in the air, a shared heart-ache, a melancholic awareness of loss and a need for change in the world, though we may all see the answers differently. Today the Moon enters productive Virgo, and thoughtful Mercury trine in optimistic Jupiter, and we want to be more proactive about those concerns. We’ll feel better if we fix something, anything. And for the next few nights, soon after Sunset, we can see the Moon dancing with Jupiter… Read More

Astrologers got a lesson in the dwarf planet Eris last week, a planetoid that is a force more massive than Pluto, though Pluto is larger by volume. This new dwarf planet was named after the Greek goddess of discord and strife, and has one Moon, named Dysnomia, the Greek daemon of lawlessness. Now Eris was only discovered January 5, 2005, so we are still uncovering its properties, but it seems to be well-named. Eris moves very slowly, has an orbital period of 558 Earth years, so we don’t see it go very far in our lifetime, but we are get beginning to see events when planets transit areas. Uranus conjunct Eris at 23° of Aries on June 9, Uranus will conjunct Eris again this September 25, and again March 17, 2017. Play with that symbol for minute, the planet of primordial chaos and shocking events, electrical Uranus, conjuncts the planet… Read More

If we relax we can enjoy a heartfelt and aesthetically intriguing week. Strive to be understood or expect efficiency, we may be frustrated instead. On this auspicious and interesting Friday, the 13th, under a melodramatic, friendly, one might say even say bombastic Leo moon, our sense of romance is strong and fed by the burgeoning lilac and the beauty of new leaves. Gremlins may trigger unexpected delays or lost items kind of mechanical failures as Mercury retrogrades, but it also conjuncts Venus in earthy Taurus and warms our heart and our aesthetics. Old stuff surfaces and we get a chance to release a weight on our soul. It’s a good weekend to reconnect with old friends and family and see how much people have changed since the last time we checked in. We could find the perfect antique hiding in the back of some garage. Or we may take this… Read More

( all times MDT) Yesterday’s full Moon in Scorpio may have left us with a full Moon hangover. That Scorpio full Moon still resonates as the weekend begins and brings a light into the darker corners of our psyche, stirring up corners we usually leave untouched, dredging up primal feelings and stirring emotions we thought we had progressed beyond. This full Moon plays hardball. This full Moon can also reconnect us to resources we forgot we had. Once we’ve remembered all this, now what do we do. We are feeling deeply and may feel emotionally or creatively restless, waiting for some thing or event to touch us at our emotional core as Venus conjunct Uranus in fiery Aries. A highly competent grand trine in Earth nudges us to take action, while Mars and Mercury appear to hold still and tell us to slow down and feel instead. As the weekend… Read More
