by Heather Roan Robbins This week it feels good to do something with and for our community. People need to connect, but not in a way that leaves us too vulnerable or raw, as for many there’s been too much going on below the surface lately. Tending to the home (however we define it) can [...]

by Heather Roan Robbins The aspects this week are great to refine a skill or put passion into a disciple, discipline into a passion as Mars conjuncts Saturn in ever-improving Virgo. Because each of us is listening to this inner whisper to improve some aspect of ourselves or lives (though some get worse just to [...]

by Heather Roan Robbins Around this week’s New Moon in Cancer, family and family-like personalities take top billing this week, whether we define ours as the nuclear family, our chosen family of friends, or the family of all sentient beings. Many people will chew over how we relate and what responsibilities do we owe this [...]

by Heather Roan Robbins Happy Solstice, though it may be a subdued and thoughtful first day of summer the Sun opposes Pluto just before it enters Cancer at 5:59 pm MDT. Mercury is now direct after three weeks retrograde and so delayed plans or slow projects now pick up speed, but first we need to [...]

by Heather Roan Robbins It’s a good week to be on vacation and not a candidate stumping for office. Sound bites and puns abound spontaneously, although most of them work, a few crash spectacularly; while words trip to our tongue easily, it’s so easy to miss-speak or blow our punch lines. And our memory can [...]

by Heather Roan Robbins The month of May goes out with a bang as an Aries Moon adds an anarchistic quality under the retrograde Mercury; anything is said and anything goes, whether or not we mean it. We’re friendly, but no one really wants to do as told, it brings an allergic reaction, so give [...]

by Heather Roan Robbins Warning, we need to get our bearings now, we’re sailing into an existential fog bank straight ahead. Mercury and Neptune both turn retrograde on Sunday. Vacation-mind creeps in, schedules loosen and we socialize more than we accomplish as Venus enters flirtatious and sociable Gemini just in time for Memorial Day. While [...]

by Heather Roan Robbins “You must be the change you wish to see in the world” said Mohandas Gandhi. This week an encouraging, change-producing Jupiter-Uranus sextile peaks, it resonates throughout the summer and peaks again this November. This aspect opens up opportunity and eases any change we choose to set in motion; it does not [...]

by Heather Roan Robbins Plant seeds; incubate ideas and new hopes under today’s fertile waxing Cancer Moon. Our literal and metaphorical gardening can blossom, but we may need to watch for rocky weather on the emotional front as Mars heads into Leo for the next few months. Mars in Leo is generous and expansive; a [...]

Momentum and inertia as May begins; when we‘re an object in motion, we’ll tend to stay in motion can be remarkably innovative and determined.  But when at rest, the idea of moving may seem a bit absurd. Mercury heads into Gemini today and wakes up our mind; we’d be happy talk about it all, even [...]

 by Heather Roan Robbins Our spirits grow tenacious. We can feel as gentle and determined as Ferdinand the Bull of childhood story fame, he preferred to sniff pansies in the sunshine, but if stung, would win the bullfight.  Let’s fight a pile of work, or for a cause instead of fighting one another this weekend [...]

by Heather Roan Robbins Spring fever at is finest as the weekend begins, we feel our oats, want to see beauty and spark off one another, use this charisma to encourage any friendship, but don’t wake up the jealousy demons. Revel in the spring wheeling and dealing, social and business and forgive many of us [...]
