What were you doing in January?

Saturday, September 17th, 2011

No, this isn’t a post about the upcoming winter season…brr, I don’t even want to think about that. I just want to ask you–what was going on in your life during the last week of January? Maybe you were digging your car out of the snow. But more likely it was a partner who was [...]

Happy Labor Day!

Monday, September 5th, 2011

Happy Labor Day! How appropriate this holiday honoring workers occurs during the time of year when our minds turn towards work–when the Sun makes its annual pilgrimage through humble Virgo. Two weeks ago, the Sun sailed through its own sign of Leo and we enjoyed the laid-back, dog days of August’s heat and humidity. Not [...]

A Planetary HeadsUp

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011

Tensions are high and tempers flare today and tomorrow as Mars sets off the Uranus/Pluto square. It is a time for upsets and breakdowns, but maybe a breakthrough or two. Keep the acetylene torches packed and out of sight and just chill. Today Mars squares Uranus–watch for crazies on the highway and chill if you [...]

Mercury, The Trickster

Sunday, July 24th, 2011

Mercury is the most underestimated of planets. After all, he moves so quickly that when he greets a planet or sensitive point in your chart, you may just notice an uptick of activity that seems part of the normal ebb and flow of ordinary life. But then, he’ll go retrograde and then even folks that [...]

The Planets – The Actors on the Stage of Your Life

Sunday, June 26th, 2011

If you want to understand what makes you tick, look to the planets in your astrological chart. The planets represent the dynamic energies that shape your character and describe the ease and challenges you face. Each represents a different component of your personality. Its sign will describe how it expresses itself and it location in [...]

Sticks and Stones, Swords, and Mars in Gemini

Sunday, June 19th, 2011

Do you remember the children’s rhyme? “Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” The idea was to enable children to deal with those who would taunt them. And which child was never the butt of teasing? But as Mars moves into Gemini tomorrow, I can tell you that words [...]

Gemini Sparks Fly

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

The Moon is rapidly approaching to the longitude of the Sun. At 5:09 pm Eastern, they will be so tightly aligned that the Moon’s shadow will block a portion of the Sun’s surface if you are standing on the right corner of the Earth. Such an alignment is called a solar eclipse. Astrologers have long [...]

A time to Face Hidden Truths

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

This morning the Sun and Moon were on opposite ends of the sky. In other words, it was a full moon when the moon reflects back its maximum amount of light. Readers of my ezine, Celestial Currents, got one interpretation of this full moon and what it means. But it also bears reminding that all [...]

A Tale of Two Months

Sunday, May 15th, 2011

Today energy shifts in a big way. The month began with five planets in frenetic,fiery, take-no-prisoners Aries. However, this past Monday, Mars, Aries ruler shifted into sedate, stand-your-ground Taurus. Before this day ends, both Mercury, planet of communication and Venus, planet of love, partnership, attraction and money, shift into Taurus where they will join Mars [...]

Pluto and the Stage – 2

Sunday, May 8th, 2011

In 2011, the planets setting the stage for action are, mainly, Uranus, Saturn and Pluto who are in harsh aspect to each other. This is particularly true in April and the first half of May when a pile-up of planets in Aries emphasized the Uranus side of this outer planet configuration which astrologers call a [...]
