Weekly Forecast August 15:
Retrograde Mercury Conjunct Sun and Venus
This should be a much quieter week – thank goddess, as we all need a break from last week’s violence. I can’t add much to the discussion about the riots in England. Astrologers for many years have been predicting violent social upheaval as a function of the Uranus-Pluto square. The aspect isn’t exact until next more »
Weekly Forecast August 8:
Mars Square Uranus, Opposite Pluto
I sure have felt the angriness floating around this past week. Have you? With Mercury retrograde and Mars moving through the T-square degrees, rush hour traffic on Friday was hell. People were doing crazy things, cutting in front of each other without signaling, flipping each other off, and yelling obscenities out the window. A pedestrian more »
Weekly Forecast August 1:
Mercury Retrograde, Mars Enters Cancer
As if the dog days of August aren’t hot enough, astrological aspects in the first three weeks of the month add to the frustration and irritation. Mercury turns retrograde on Tuesday and will stay in “reverse” until August 26. If you’ve got a teaching position or some other job that allows you take this month more »
Weekly Forecast July 25:
Mercury Enters Virgo, New Moon in Leo
As we head into the final week of July, it’s a good time to start preparing for August, a potentially difficult month. Spend this week shoring up your alliances, wrapping up as much business as you can, and finding ways to put new projects on hold until the end of next month – and there more »
Weekly Forecast July 18:
Sun Enters Leo, Mars Conjunct South Node
We should all get a breather this week, with the Sun moving into light-hearted Leo and, more importantly, no heavy outer planet transits to deal with. But that “other shoe about to drop” feeling just won’t go away. Actually, I’d say there are quite a few shoes dangling in the power lines overhead, and a more »
Weekly Forecast July 11: Full Moon in Capricorn
The eclipses are behind us, but there are issues left to resolve. It almost feels like a Hollywood film script with an ending that is dragged out deliberately in order to keep the suspension going as long as possible, but irritates instead. I can hear all the muttering in the audience: “Could we please just more »
Weekly Forecast July 4:
Mars at Eclipse Degree, Uranus Retrograde
The eclipses of June and July continue to reverberate into our lives this week as we find closure to old issues and move farther into exciting new territory. The fireworks midweek could be better than the Fourth of July. Getting right into the week … On Monday, Venus enters Cancer and immediately begins another round more »
Weekly Forecast June 27:
New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer
Imagine that the moving van is gone with all your belongings, and you’re spending one last night in your old home, empty of everything but a small suitcase. Tomorrow at daybreak, you head out for your new destination. Each of us has experienced the past two years in a different way. The common thread is more »
New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer, July 1
Another week and we’ll be out of the inter-eclipse Twilight Zone. It has been a strange trip indeed. You’ll recall in a previous post that I said big changes were on the way for me, but I was going to wait until after the July 1 eclipse to take definitive action. Well, less than 24 more »
Weekly Forecast June 20:
Mars Enters Gemini, Sun Enters Cancer
Summer is here, and along with it, the activation of the cardinal grand cross. Actually, the grand cross started last week, when messenger Mercury entered Cancer and immediately squared Uranus. What a mess! My DSL went dead on Friday, and I found out later it was a problem with CenturyLink that affected the whole state. more »
