The Moon waxes towards full this week, raising the tide waters of wyrding higher still. Monday dawns shortly after the Sun’s entry into Pisces and the same morning rays illuminate Saturn’s retrograde station in Scorpio. Immediately thereafter, the Sun moves into a hallucinatory conjunction with Neptune, which it completes on Wednesday. Finally, Friday bears witness [...]
A waxing Moon looks down over an interesting week. The Sun and Mercury in Aquarius make stimulating aspects to Uranus in Aries and Jupiter in Gemini in quick succession. A bright, sharp mental current cuts through the first several days of the week, though additional factors complicate the weekend. A dramatic Full Moon in Leo [...]
The week begins with a flurry of planetary activity. Retrograde since election day, Mercury stations direct on Monday, righting communications. The same day, however, Venus makes an emotionally challenging conjunction to Saturn in Scorpio. Tuesday also sees a pair of exact aspects, as Mars conjoins potent Pluto in Capricorn under the reddened light of a [...]
This potentially dramatic week sees the Moon wax her way toward a Full finale this Saturday. But first, Venus in Leo squares Mars in Scorpio on Wednesday, triggering relationship tensions throughout the middle of the week. This contentious configuration is offset a bit by Mercury in Libra’s even minded and pleasant trine to Jupiter in [...]
We spend the week on the boundary between the concrete and imaginary, between what is and what isn’t- yet. The pressures of the real and the imaginary are both abundant. Venus endures a depressingly mundane square to Saturn all week, while Friday night holds the Full Moon in Pisces. The next day Mercury enters analytic [...]
The week begins with the Sun in the last degrees of Leo, making an energetic but potentially irksome sextile with Mars. Wednesday holds a very positive Mercury-Jupiter configuration and sees the Sun enter Virgo. Here our angle on the Sun lines it up with the fixed star Regulus, the regal and benefic heart of the [...]
The notes of chaos and instability that have characterized the summer continue for the first part of the week, but subside as we trundle into the second half, which holds some unexpected inspirations. Things begin with the Moon traversing the rocky hinterlands of Capricorn, where she has a pow-wow with Pluto. Meanwhile, the Sun in [...]
The week begins as the last of the weekend’s “super moon” disappears beneath the horizon. Early in the week Mercury enters Taurus, the financial fields where the messenger will spend the next two weeks. Mid-week, Mercury makes a blurry sextile with Neptune, while the weekend is dominated by the Sun’s conjunction with Jupiter in Taurus. [...]
Photo by Sigurd Rage The Moon waxes its way to fullness, shining out over a week of mixed influences. The Sun strides closer to conjunction with auspicious Jupiter, highlighting the rewards of courses pursued successfully. Yet meanwhile Venus creeps ever deeper into the shadow of her coming retrograde, rousing uncomfortable feelings and messing with cash [...]
This week we gaze into the boiling fluids of the Water-Bearer’s bowl, scrying what futures we may be headed toward. Things get moving early in the week with a duo of powerful influences. Tuesday is host not only to the Full Moon in Leo, but also sets the table for Saturn’s retrograde station [...]
