There’s a lot of complicated astrology happening in the skies right now. It’s easy to cherry pick one aspect over another to get a read on things, but when we do we miss out on the big picture. I’ve seen a couple of things written about today’s alignment between Jupiter […]

Let’s be honest. The astrology right now is, shall we say, a bit watery. Even with the Moon wrapping up its stay in Gemini, an air sign, everything is pretty much pointing back to the five — count ’em — five planets in Pisces. The water signs — Cancer, Scorpio, […]

As of Saturday, Venus is in Pisces! I actually quite like Venus in Pisces. In classical astrology we say that Venus is exalted in Pisces, which is just a fancy way of saying that it’s a sign that she does her best work in. If Venus is love, value, beauty, […]

March 2016 Horoscopes

I’m fascinated by astrology and this idea of metaphorical time. When the Sun is in Pisces, as it is for most of March, the cosmic weather shifts. It gets hazy and damp with a dash of glitter. We also experience life through the prism of compassion, sensitivity, spirituality, and reflection […]

Guys, there’s a LOT of Pisces going on in the sky right now. When Venus gets into Pisces on Saturday, we’ll have five planets in the sign of sensitivity, compassion, artistic inspiration, spirituality, mysticism, and redemption. Toss in the South Node and Ceres, and now we have seven points to […]

What’s our pain? What deeply emotional story comes up again and again, unfailingly so? Where do we keep ourselves bound? Imprisoned? With Chiron a major player in Tuesday’s solar eclipse, we’re feeling something that we just can’t put our finger on. It gnaws at us. Maybe we’re crying but not […]

Hey! We had a pretty intense solar eclipse in Pisces yesterday. Did you miss my write up? Click here. Why are eclipses so important? Because they set in motion the next chapter of our lives. And if astrology is a symbolic way of telling time, eclipses strike the hour and […]

New Moon in Pisces: Redemption

New Moon in Pisces: Redemption

Happy Pisces New Moon! Happy solar eclipse! This is the time of the year when we open up a new chapter focused on compassion, healing, spirituality, retreat, mysticism, art, and music. If new moons are new beginnings, then a solar eclipse turns our focus to the coming six months. The new moon […]

Eclipse season is always a bit of a strange time. There’s an electricity in the air, a subtle current hinting at a change in direction. Sudden and unexpected events have been known to occur just as things “eclipse” out of our lives. Tomorrow’s Pisces solar eclipse, just like any solar […]

Come tomorrow, Mars will move into Sagittarius, igniting within us all a need for travel, exploration, new perspective, and philosophy. In fact, Mars will be in Sag for the next 10 weeks — a bit longer than it normally spends in a sign. Why? Because Mars will turn retrograde on […]

Yesterday Mars arrived at 29 Scorpio, a degree that’s gotten a bit of traffic in the last year. The last degree of any sign has a fair bit of urgency to it. What have we learned? What have we mastered? 29 of Scorpio? The urgency is verging on crisis. Scorpio […]

We’re in the gate for some bumpy astrology. A week from now, on March 8, we’ll have a solar eclipse at 18 Pisces. If you are a Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces, you’re likely feeling the build of energy. Me? I’m not immune. I have 22 Sag rising and major […]
