Weekly Forecast May 20:
Uranus Square Pluto, Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius
This week is one of the most astrologically active of 2013, with an exact square of Uranus and Pluto and a lunar eclipse at the Full Moon, which also is the Buddhist festival of Wesak. I can’t say that the rubber is going to meet the road, because we’re well past that point. For many more »
Weekly Forecast May 13: Mercury Enters Gemini
It has been a tough week here. I started coming down with something about a week ago, and it flattened me. Surely it was no coincidence that last week’s eclipse was in my sixth house, with Mars in conjunction. It’s not uncommon for sixth-house Mars transits to correspond to colds, flu, and viral infections. It more »
Weekly Forecast May 6:
New Moon Solar Eclipse in Taurus
This week, we have the second of three eclipses in a row and the only solar eclipse among them, which is about new beginnings and, in some cases, dramatic and final endings. The eclipse occurs on Thursday, with the Sun and Moon at 19°33′ Taurus. Mercury and Mars also are in Taurus, along with asteroid more »
Weekly Forecast April 29:
Mars Opposite Saturn, Trine Pluto
As we begin this week, we’re well into the destabilized zone between eclipses, with Uranus moving toward an exact square with Pluto in May. Many of us are feeling unsettled, shaken, irritated, and anxious, with that “other shoe about to drop” feeling. We can’t help but feel unsettled in a rapidly changing world – or, more »
Weekly Forecast April 22:
Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio
At this week’s Full Moon, we have the first of three eclipses in a row and potentially the most difficult. As I write this post, we’re already within the pull of its dark energy. Eclipses can provide windows on the past and future, and that’s especially true of a lunar eclipse in Scorpio. Pluto, ruler more »
Weekly Forecast April 15:
Sun, Venus and Mars Enter Taurus
We’re now officially heading into “eclipse season,” with Uranus and Pluto moving closer to an exact square. Breakdowns are occurring more frequently, clearing the way for breakthroughs. The breakdown energy is manifesting for me personally, so I am totally with you on this and know firsthand how confusing, upsetting, and scary the process can be. more »
Weekly Forecast April 8:
New Moon in Aries, Pluto Retrograde
Back in the mid-90s, a friend of mine was becoming an aunt for the second time at the birth of her brother’s baby. An image is ingrained in my memory of the baby lying on the countertop in my friend’s kitchen. It’s a strange image. On one hand, I cringe when I think about the more »
Weekly Forecast April 1: Venus Conjunct Mars in Aries
This week is about sex, sex, and more sex, and it will be fast and hot, with Venus and Mars in conjunctio in the fire sign of Aries. Venus and Mars are fresh from encounters with the Sun and Uranus, the latter being particularly kinky. Aries is, after all, the sign of the ram, and more »
Weekly Forecast March 25: Full Moon in Libra
We’re heading into a wild and crazy week, with an active Full Moon that triggers volatile planetary energies set in motion in the summer of 2010. You remember that one, right? The infamous cardinal T-square that marked new directions and the start of turbulent journeys for so many of us, myself included. Now, before you more »
Weekly Forecast March 18:
Sun Enters Aries, Mars Conjunct Uranus
Mercury is direct, thank goddess. It wasn’t the worst Mercury retrograde ever, but it had (for me, at least) some ugly exchanges and creepy irritations. Sounds like Pisces. Don’t get me wrong. I love Pisces. My Moon is in Pisces, and sometimes I forget that I’m not a Pisces. Last week someone told me I more »
