Weekly Forecast February 6: Saturn Retrograde, Full Moon in Leo

Weekly Forecast February 6: Saturn Retrograde, Full Moon in Leo

There was a lot of weirdness going on last week, and then the energy suddenly shifted on Friday. Did you notice? I attribute the shift to Neptune’s entry into Pisces and hope that life will return to some semblance of sanity, despite the craziness of Mars retrograde. Neptune’s shift occurred at 2:03 p.m. EST on more »

Weekly Forecast January 30: Neptune Enters Pisces

In a recent class, we discussed the symbolism of being in the belly of the whale – one of many metaphors to help us understand this week’s shift of Neptune into Pisces. The most famous example, of course, is the biblical story of Jonah, who tried to escape his destiny by sailing in the opposite more »

Pip said it all in her comment on last week’s post. Just about everyone I know started having major computer problems a couple of days ago — myself included. The Internet connectivity on my computer stopped working at 1 a.m. Saturday. After nearly six hours on the phone with tech support reps in various parts more »

Weekly Forecast January 16: Sun Enters Aquarius

The Sun is the star of this week’s astrology show, entering a new sign and making several significant planetary aspects from Thursday onward. This also is the last week of the entire year during which all of the planets are direct! As the old saying goes, make hay while the sun shines. Truly, this is more »

Weekly Forecast January 9:
Full Moon in Cancer, Venus Enters Pisces

We’re in an enchanted period in which all the planets are direct. It doesn’t happen very often and it won’t last, so make it your mission this week to move full-speed ahead toward what you most want in life. I’m not saying that what you want is going to fall out of the sky into more »

Weekly Forecast January 2: Mercury Enters Capricorn

Weekly Forecast January 2: Mercury Enters Capricorn

Astrologically speaking, this is a quiet week – perfect for easing back into your daily routine, be it work, school, or life in general. Still, something seems to have changed, perhaps due to a collective expectation that, somehow, 2012 is different. It’s true that the past two years have been exceptional, and the astrological configuration more »

Weekly Forecast December 26:
Sun Conjunct Pluto, Moon in Aries

As the Sun stands still, life has slowed down and is starting to return to some semblance of balance. At the same time, a shift is occurring, and that means constantly shifting our response to stay in balance – kind of like walking on a tight rope. The New Moon on Christmas Eve was a more »

New Moon in Capricorn, Jupiter Direct

Whew! That was one bad-ass Mercury retrograde. I’m sure you will join me in gratitude that it’s over. Unfortunately, life didn’t turn around immediately, as I expected it would. It was almost as if people had a Mercury retrograde hangover. It took me a couple of days to clean up the mess, and then I more »

Mercury Direct, Venus Square Saturn

I probably don’t have to tell you that this has been the mother of all Mercury retrogrades. Your list of crazy happenings might be even longer than mine. In fact, I’m going to have to make this a very fast blog post, because I’m heading into finals week with three major projects due and a more »

Weekly Forecast December 5:
Uranus Direct, Lunar Eclipse in Gemini

I keep telling myself that the universe was born out of chaos. This has been my mantra for the past two weeks, which have been nothing if not chaotic. The week ahead is going to be even more so, with Uranus turning direct this Saturday less than eight hours before a lunar eclipse in Gemini. more »
