Happy Full Moon in Gemini! And happy Lunar Eclipse! First, the full moon is a time when the lunar energy is at its peak and its most visible. The Moon is the feminine half to the Sun’s masculine. And the full moon brings heightened emotions, resolutions, illuminations, and blossomings. But […]
Not only is today the New Moon in Scorpio, but it is also the third eclipse of 2012. This one, a solar eclipse, clocks in at 21 degrees of Scorpio. New moons are a time to plant seeds and set intentions that support the highest expression of Scorpio. But what […]
Today we have a Full Moon in Taurus. This is the time of the astrological year when we release our intentions for security, solid ground, and abundance of resources.

In the latest edition of my Empowering Astrology podcast, I was joined again by evolutionary astrologer Dena DeCastro to review the astrology of 2012. In a previous podcast, we demystified the hype surrounding this mythic year and looked to the upcoming transits. Now that we’re nine months in, what are […]
Happy New Moon in Virgo! New moons are about new beginnings and the moment each month when we find a place of renewal and a time to plant new seeds. Through our intentions we can use the energy, as represented in the chart above, to begin a powerful new […]
