Here in the northern hemisphere we’re in mid-winter, the time when the Sun hits around 15 Aquarius. The ancients celebrated these “cross quarter days” with different rituals and festivals.

I’ve been talking about this coming aspect quite a bit only because it’s the culmination of a story that began back on December 19–20.

A few days ago we had the Leo Full Moon, a culmination of a dramatic lunar month that saw the departure of a few high profile artists and performers. Leo, ruled by the Sun, is the sign of the creator. As a result it’s a sign that naturally contains art, music, and a celebratory, look…

Today Mercury will station direct after three weeks of winding its way back through Capricorn. During this time we’ve had to reexamine our word, our choices, and our responsibility for the things we manifest in our lives. Capricorn’s a sobering sign. We see things for what they are, laid out in black and white. So,…

Between Mercury’s line up with Pluto in Capricorn and a face off with the Cancer Moon, we’re in the middle of an energetic storm today.
