A partial solar eclipse waits for us at the end of a somewhat tense week. A loose Grand Cross connects the planets as the Sun runs a gauntlet of aspects that will become familiar this Summer. The partial solar eclipse occurs on July 1st, the Sun losing a crescent of its radiance to the claws [...]
The solstice on June 21st (17:16 UTC) swallows the week, washing out daily worries in the light of seasonal concerns. In the northern hemisphere, the Sun stands still in the sky, stretching the day wide across the earth and threatening to disrupt the long standing truce between Light and Night. In the South, Helios holds [...]
This Wednesday, June 15th, we are treated to a Full Eclipse of the Moon. The eclipse occurs at 24 Sagittarius, conjoined the North Node, the Dragon’s Head, known as Rahu to Vedic astrologers. This is the first eclipse in Sagittarius in the Gemini-Sagittarius cycle. We had a lunar eclipse in Gemini on the Solstice in [...]
June’s game-changing pace continues with a week that oscillates between solemn and hyperactive. Venus enters Gemini on Thursday, splitting in two to fly Doublemint-style through the rest of this month’s whirlwind. Meanwhile, Saturn in Libra’s direct station casts a deep shadow over the week, shrouding it in serious thoughts. Retrograde since January, the slow planet’s [...]
The skies are busy this week, kicking off a month of serious transitions.

A solid week, full of important configurations. The Full Moon in Scorpio colors the early week, coming late late Monday night for those on the North American continent.

This week the Moon waxes its way toward Full (May 16th), 3 planets change signs and we’re treated to a lovely set of conjunctions. Mercury, Venus and Jupiter spend most of the week conjoined in late Aries. This rather pleasant stellium condenses the hard lessons of the last month and a half into the future’s [...]
The New Moon in Taurus occurs early in the week, Monday night for those in the Americas. This monthly reunion of the Sun and Moon re-centers affairs somewhere amidst the great fields Taurus. As discussed last week, the question is what to plant in these fields now that that the chaos is beginning to subside [...]
This week we traverse the 4th quarter of the Lunar cycle, waning toward the new Moon on May 2nd. As she fades to invisibility, Luna looks over what has transpired during a confusing April with an eye towards the action of the next month.
