The moods blow as hot and cool this week as the brash spring weather; the Aries Sun encourages us to get out there and dive into life while our thoughts and feelings are still turned inwards, thoughtful and receptive under the very sensitive and unusually receptive influence of Mercury and Venus in […]

The week begins with a primal edge; birth and death, who’s in and who’s out. A few lucky one will get just what they asked for, but then wonder what’s next. Springtime can do this to us, push us to start over, be our very best, and this is exacerbated by […]

This week comes in like a lamb, soft, sensitive and pushy, and roars out as a ram ready to butt heads as the Sun enters Aries and the new astrological year begins.
But for now we may prefer to run under the radar and domesticate. We’ll tend to be soft and squishy, guarded, […]

This week offers a catalyst for change, huge for some, minor for others. It’s high noon in a few high profile arguments but the rest of us may just feel our dream energize with a bit of extra feistiest around the edges when our touchiness twinges. But look for a new […]

Willful idealism is this week’s theme. Our feelings are tender, and our vision often hopeful under the Pisces Sun while Mercury conjuncts optimistic Venus tin Aquarius.  But at the same time, we’re also busy, easily irritated and tend to shoot straight from the hip as Mars perfects an opposition to Pluto.

Can you feel the winds of change beginning?  They start subtly, a bit of spring fever through the winter storms, longer days though still-freezing nights. The tenor of the news has changed, it’s growing more exciting, potential filled as a series of aspects and eclipses break the momentum of the past and […]

Last week marked a turning point, we had the chance to release images of the past and hatch new ideas both personally and collectively as the Aquarian New Moon eclipse conjunct Mercury and Neptune. This week we get the opportunity to get these new ideas cooking, but first have to take care […]

The Romans celebrated the sacred sexual frenzy
(Febris, in Latin) of the Goddess of amorous love,
Juno Februa, on February 14, coinciding with the
time when the birds in Italy were thought to mate.
These orgiastic rites of the Patroness of Passionate Love,
merged with Lupercalia, the festivities in honor of the
pagan god, Pan which were […]

This week we get in lessons in communication, how to both speak what we really mean, and hear what’s really said as Chiron conjuncts retrograde Mercury and both semi-square Pluto. It is so easy to miss the signals. Wacky thoughts can trouble us, dark thoughts and conspiracy theories abound, […]

Searching for Jesus’ words, his true teachings, amongst what Christianity has presented as the authoritative works in the New Testament, the four canonical gospels, left me wondering if Jesus had other things to say that might better satisfy my quest for enlightenment. Could he have left a secret written legacy and if […]

Ground Hog Day stems from an old European tradition of taking auspices from all animal behavior at midwinter. It’s a great year to revive this practice; who tarot needs card when Mental Mercury conjuncts intuitive Neptune on Ground Hog Day. Go take a walk and see who flies by, who scurries […]
