by Heather Roan Robbins “It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it.” – Science historian Jacob Bronkowski, 1908-74. This is an irreverent week. Irreverence implies a questioning sense of humor which allows penetrating curiosity; it does [...]

by Heather Roan Robbins Before you speak, think: Is it necessary? Is it true? Is it kind? Will it improve on the silence? – Sri Sathya Sai Baba Feel the shift from last week’s inward-turning, deeply-introspective Scorpio towards this restless and irreverent, multi-tasking and nervy mood. Truth shall set us free- but what is the [...]

by Heather Roan Robbins You only live twice. Once when you are born and once when you look death in the face. – Ian Fleming, You Only Live Twice. Halloween or Samhain and All Soul’s Day is the heart of Scorpio season, when we dive in and look at our shadow, make fun of our [...]

by Heather Roan Robbins Human freedom involves our capacity to pause between the stimulus and response and, in that pause, to choose. – Rollo May, The Courage to Create We can be twitchy this week, Winds pick up in the heart-realm and our emotions can feel like swirling in these late October winds, and, paradoxically at [...]

by Heather Roan Robbins Feeling snarky? We’re heading into Scorpio season with Mercury and Venus in Scorpio ahead of the Sun.

by Heather Roan Robbins Happy Autumnal Equinox; this week’s assignment is to balance, beautify, and reconnect with our center as the Sun enters fairness-loving Libra, opposes radical Uranus and squares powerful Pluto.

by Heather Roan Robbins This is an emotionally eventful week as Venus in romantic, egalitarian Libra opposes restless and dissident Uranus and then squares transformative Pluto. Pluto turns direct after a long retrograde. It may be a fun weekend, certainly will touch our hearts, and could open up our creative channels. Our inner landscape is [...]

by  Heather Roan Robbins This week’s astro-instructions: follow up on leads. Pick up the possibilities and conversations we dropped over the summer. Do not drop the ball on what is important even though the energy is busy, scattered and many people need attention.  Stay on track with those long-term goals even if some nagging self-doubts whisper of [...]

by Heather Roan Robbins Get to work. Ok, think about it now and get to work after Labor Day. That’s what the planets tell us. This is a fertile if confusing time, what we work on now can really take root, so let’s make it matter. We may still have trouble clearly seeing what we’re [...]
