Aries
A Tale of Two Months
Sunday, May 15th, 2011Today 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 [...]
Beware of April’s Undercurrents
Wednesday, March 30th, 2011With five planets in Aries, April 2011 begins like a cannon blast. Everything starts to move and everyone is chomping at the bit to take action. Jupiter, the planet of excess joins with the New Moon on April 3rd with feisty Mars and erratic Uranus coupling together. With Mercury moving retrograde it is just too [...]
Wheel of Fortune vs The World; The Planet of Yes vs The Planet of No
Sunday, March 27th, 2011If you are feeling stressed, then you may be responding to the stresses playing out in the skies. This week transiting Jupiter and Saturn stand at opposite sides of the horoscope. The planet of ‘yes,’ of hope, expansion and optimism opposes the planet of ’no,’ of limits, contraction, and structure. I wrote of this opposition [...]
March Comes in as a Lion…
Friday, March 4th, 2011The new moon begins the lunar cycle. Now is the time to plant seeds of intention that will grow and flower as the moon grows in light.
Overthrow Your Own Oppressor
Thursday, February 24th, 2011People around the world from Tunisia, Egypt and Wisconsin have said no even at the risk of injury or death. And they changed entrenched power structures in the process. But if your chart contains planets or sensitive points at the very late degrees of mutable (Pisces, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius) or very early cardinal (Aries, Cancer, Libra, [...]
The Winds of Change and Uranus
Monday, February 21st, 2011The winds of change are blowing. In less than six weeks, regime change has come to Tunisia and Egypt while scores have risen up in Libya, Bahrain, and other lands across the Middle East and North Africa. The population of South Sudan voted overwhelmingly to succeed from their northern neighbor. Closer to home, a Philadelphia [...]
Fireworks in the Forecast – Triple Conjunction of Pluto, Mars and Mercury
Monday, December 13th, 2010Don’t be surprised if people are on edge as you begin the workweek. Perhaps you are already feeling the intensity yourself. A triple conjunction of Mars, Mercury and Pluto will become exact tomorrow and that’s a recipe for fireworks. Pluto has been hanging out at 4 degrees of Capricorn, so if you have planets or [...]
The 2010 Cardinal T-Square and Mercury Retrograde
Thursday, August 19th, 2010In the Northern hemisphere, the days are noticeably shorter. Above average temps coupled with humidity to match still blankets much of the continental US while Russia bakes and Pakistan drowns. This has been a summer to remember both meteorologically as well as astrologically. Days of high intensity are not over this season. Not by a [...]
Uranus in Aries and Mindfulness Meditation
Thursday, May 27th, 2010There are enough energy changes this weekend to keep even the most know-it-all astrologer reeling. This evening the full moon becomes exact at 7:17 pm ET and a couple hours after that Uranus enters Aries. If that’s not enough, Saturn, now motionless in the sky pivots and begins to move direct on Sunday and Neptune [...]
The Tarot’s Fool, Jupiter/Uranus, and a Message of Hope
Wednesday, April 21st, 2010Sometimes when I meditate, images will float before my mind’s eye. As if I were in a conscious dream-state. Last night the central figure of the RWS Tarot card, The Fool presented itself before me. The Fool (fool as in Court Jester as opposed to fool as in foolish), was striding across a stark landscape [...]
