The week begins with Tuesday’s New Moon in Aries, which brings an extraordinarily intense lunar month to a close, though the one it seeds is not without challenges. Shortly thereafter, on Friday, Pluto grinds to a halt, saddling the week with the weight of his retrograde station. Saturday, however, sees Mercury enter Aries, which offers [...]
This week the Moon waxes while planets pile into Aries. The Sun goes first, crossing the equinoctial boundary late Tuesday night. Venus, not long behind, follows Sol into Aries on Thursday the 21st. Meanwhile Mars, who crossed into Aries last week, spends this one on his way toward an explosive conjunction with Uranus, which he [...]
This week begins with the slow dark of the New Moon in Pisces, but from there a new cycle unfolds swiftly. Mars enters Aries on Monday night, quickening the meandering processes in play. From it’s Sunday perch, Mercury’s direct station lends a growing clarity to the week, which moves with greater direction and speed than [...]
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 new lunar cycle begins with a serious week. Mercury and Mars in Pisces spend the week in trines with Saturn in Scorpio, lending much of it an industrious tone. The emphasis on Saturn is doubled by the slow planet’s upcoming retrograde station next Monday. Yet Mars’ midweek conjunction to Chiron makes it difficult to [...]
The Moon wanes over a transitional week. Things begin with Mars’ undersea conjunction to Neptune in Pisces. The pair is joined early in the week by Mercury, who enters Pisces on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Venus in Aquarius makes some very pleasant aspects to Uranus and Jupiter before grinding into a square with Saturn over the [...]
The Moon wanes away from fullness this week, which begins on a contradictory note. An onerous Sun-Saturn square hangs over the first couple days- yet those very days are also brightened by Jupiter’s direct station. Good news and heavy deadlines occupy the same space. These dueling currents evaporate as we push toward the weekend. Friday [...]
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 [...]
Mercury affects the transmission of information from one point to another, thereby aiding or interfering with the thought process, communications, technology and travel. When Mercury is in an aspect to another planet, it tends to take on the nature of that planet, acting as a messenger conveying its energies. During its thrice yearly retrogrades, it [...]
The bodies most often categorized as planets in modern astrology are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Planets? The clever reader will note that the Sun and Moon are by no means planets, and that Pluto has been recently demoted. “Planets” in astrology refers to the original meaning of [...]
