It’s full steam ahead; just don’t run into a brick wall. For the first time since early August the stars are giving us a green light to forge ahead. Over the next week we can make clear assessments and follow with solid plans with Mercury moving forward and about to enter its own sign of Virgo, while practical Saturn, change-producing Uranus and diplomatic Venus all forming a constructive, creative, grand trine in air signs. But we are not the only things picking up momentum. Storms, tectonic plate shifts, fires, politics, all build up speed and force. Most ever event since the recent Solar New Moon-Eclipse in dramatic Leo has felt over the top, beyond operatic. The sun has also been unusually reactive, a coronal mass ejection sent an intense X-9 class toward earth, and an active sun cranks up the volume on the astrological aspects, can leave us feeling fried,… Read More

Sloppy or foggy conditions, misunderstandings abound, so does a perfectly healthy desire to escape for the weekend.

A friendly and fair Libra Moon conjunct sociable Venus helps us relax and connect with one another… Read More

(all time posted as M.D.T.) Treat every minute of summer as precious. Notice an ephemeral quality creep in to the pleasant weather and taste the freedom and bounty of high summer as Mercury conjuncts Jupiter in Leo today and Mars joins the Sun, Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter already in Leo tomorrow. The last few weeks brought some tough work as Mercury and Venus squared Saturn, and we need to rest and renew for autumn’s work. With this line-up in Leo, a fire sign, fire itself can be both unusually attractive and unusually dangerous. Our hearts and forests are flammable. We are combustible. So enjoy the creative heat, but step away from the melodrama, and watch where every spark, match, or incendiary incident lands. Most of our natural and emotional landscape may be bucolic, but when a fire starts, it roars. Venus approaches its second conjunction to Jupiter (out of three… Read More
