Saturday Extra! 2010: The Year of Living Spiritually

Saturday Extra! 2010: The Year of Living Spiritually

For years, astrologers have been writing about what a big year 2010 is going to be. Well, now it’s here. So what are we going to do about it? “Do about it?” you might ask. “What’s to do? It’s not as though we can do anything about planetary transits.” True enough. But there is plenty more »

Ask Real Astrologers: What’s Happening with My New Job?

This week’s question comes from Christina in Greece: I’ve been unemployed for ten months, and now I am given an opportunity to work for sales for a medical department of a big company.

Real Astrologers Poll: New Year’s Resolutions

After a month of eating too much, foregoing visits to the gym in favor of shopping ’til we drop, and ringing in 2010 with overflowing bubbly, it’s time for New Year’s resolutions. I’ve put on a whopping 12 pounds since Thanksgiving. Granted, there were some extenuating circumstances, but the fact remains that I now have more »

Welcome to 2010 – A Cardinal Year

Welcome to 2010 – A Cardinal Year

When Saturn moved into the cardinal sign of Libra last fall, joining Pluto in cardinal Capricorn, it signaled the beginning of the shift to cardinal dominance of the outer planets. By mid-year 2010, both Jupiter and Uranus will spend some time in the most cardinal sign of all, Aries, before moving back into Pisces one more »

Weekly Forecast December 28: Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Cancer

Weekly Forecast December 28: Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Cancer

Have we turned a corner? I think so. It’s hard for me to know for sure, with my sensory apparatus globbed up by so much sweet and rich food, not to mention the wine and chocolate. Despite the unnerving astrological influences currently in play, I’ve been sleeping very well the past week, after months of more »

Saturday Extra! Oh, What a Time for Mercury Retrograde

Saturday Extra! Oh, What a Time for Mercury Retrograde

The day after Christmas is the biggest gift return day of the year. With stationed retrograde, I don’t even want to think about the lines at customer service. Not even the promise of after-Christmas sales could lure me anywhere near a shopping mall today — especially not with Mercury stationed retrograde. The lines will be more »

This is a very big week. And not just because of Christmas. Today, Monday, is arguably the most important day of the year astrologically and one of the most important days of the entire decade.

Ask Real Astrologers: Why Can’t Mom and Daughter Get Along?

This week’s question comes from Charlotte in Pennsylvania: My daughter and I can’t seem to be in the same room for very long. Her Saturn and Mars are conjunct my Moon and Uranus in the ninth house. Could this be the culprit? Her Moon sits on her Ascendant at 7 Virgo. She is an emotional more »

Real Astrologer’s Poll: Ready for Mars Rx Season?

This Sunday Mars stations retrograde at 20° Leo, effectively slowing action to a crawl for most of us. We’ll feel it all the more, since only a few hours later, the Moon in Aquarius (sign of the collective) will oppose Mars. For those of us with our natal Mars in the fixed signs – Taurus, Leo, more »
