New Moon in Aries: The Line

Happy Aries New Moon! This is the time of the year when we start fresh, take action, and surge forward, revitalized and renewed. Aries is the leader, the fighter, and the individual. The new moon will be exact on April 7, 2016 at 7:23 am EDT, 18 degrees Aries. That’s […]

Let’s talk about the astrology unfolding today and into this weekend. It’s strong stuff, like a shot of espresso. It’s astrology designed to shake the status quo, awaken us, spur us to make necessary or long over due changes. We’re all in a process of constant evolution. We have to […]

Today Venus, the planet of beauty, harmony, cooperation, and attraction, trades Pisces for Aries. The contrast between these two signs couldn’t be more different. If Venus in Pisces is ethereal, glamorous, and open hearted, then Venus in Aries is like a woman that knows what she wants. She’s independent, competitive, […]

We start our week off with a sensitive Pisces Moon. In fact, we’ve been treading a lot of water lately through Pisces, the sign of compassion, intuition, universality, collective emotion, and mysticism. As a result, we’ve been working through these aspirational themes while noting Pisces lower tendency to drop out, […]

I got my taxes done this morning (shout out to Caroline at Brass Taxes) and it inevitably came up that I am a professional astrologer, which led to the usual questions. How did I become an astrologer? Do I work with clients? We got into my whole philosophy on astrology […]

Heads up. We’ve got some testy astrology happening today. Between the Capricorn Moon and Mercury in Aries setting off the Uranus/Pluto square, we may be in for a war of words or difference in ideology. Conversations may be pointed or revelatory. We may us feel a need to let something […]

Today Venus gets eclipsed. Joining up with Chiron and the South Node in Pisces, something has to be let go. Venus is relationships, women, value, beauty, and cooperation. Maybe a woman is leaving our life in a way that strikes a deep emotional and psychic cord. Or maybe we need […]

Time for some real talk / pep talk. I often get the “when will it get better?” comments. I hear you. S**t is hard right now. Real hard. Why can’t things go back the way they were?? I wish things were easier, but the reality is that we’re in a passage of time when everything is coming up.

Happy Monday! Here are a few of the things you need to keep on your radar for this week. Venus will cross over the Lunar South Node in Pisces on Wednesday and join up with Chiron. Again, the South Node is the past, our karma, the well we keep instinctively […]

Saturn is the planet of time. Taking 29 years to revolve around the Sun, Saturn speaks to chapters that last years. When it enters a new zodiac sign, as it did back in September 2015, the big hand on the clock signals a new hour for the world. So, what […]

We may be in eclipse season, a time guaranteed to push buttons, but there’s been a deep emotional undercurrent in the astrology of late in the form of Chiron. Chiron may not be a planet, but it’s a point in the sky — and thus our chart — that reveals […]
