Weekly Forecast April 8:
Pluto Retrograde, Mars Direct
I wrote this post yesterday. Then, early this morning, my website went offline due to an accounting error by my hosting service. How’s that for astrological correlation? Apologies to everyone who tried to access the site, and especially if you got a security alert. As of 15:45 PDT, everything appears to be back to normal, more »
Full Moon in Libra, April 6
People have been so grumpy in the past couple of days. I attribute it to the effects of waking up out of a Mercury-in-Pisces slumber – like bears coming out of hibernation. Friday’s Full Moon isn’t helping. Research has shown that the Full Moon affects our behavior, and usually not kindly. We might expect the more »
Weekly Forecast April 1:
Venus Enters Gemini, Mercury Direct
I was going to write this week’s forecast as an April Fool’s spoof, but every joke I could come up with had too much truth in it. Life is stranger than fiction. As I’m so fond of saying, God is a comedian. In astrology, the trickster is Mercury, who speaks so eloquently that he can more »
Weekly Forecast March 26: Sun Square Pluto
This week is dominated by jarring squares and inconjuncts, with Mars and Mercury still retrograde – the latter back in Pisces, the keyword of which is “I believe.” What beliefs are being upset and turned on their heads? We start right out Monday with inconjuncts from the Sun to Mars and Mercury to Saturn. Make more »
Weekly Forecast March 19:
Spring Equinox, New Moon in Aries
Strap yourself in and prepare for lift-off! The Sun enters Aries this week, closely followed by the New Moon and a dynamite conjunction with Uranus. According to astrological convention, we’d predict stunning new beginnings, doors flying open with explosive force, and unexpected new developments of all kinds. That may indeed happen, but we need to more »
Weekly Forecast March 12:
Mercury Retrograde, Venus Conjunct Jupiter
In the past week, I made a couple of stunning new friends. But first, I had to make friends with retrograde Mars. I’m fond of saying that Mars doesn’t stir up trouble where it doesn’t already exist, but you can bet that if there’s a bomb that’s been waiting to go off, a Mars transit more »
Weekly Forecast March 5:
Mercury Conjunct Uranus, Full Moon in Virgo
As we head into even more conflict this week, it’s a good time to discuss the general idea of conflict. Simply put, we need conflict. Rather than trying to make it go away, we might do better to understand its role in our growth and evolution. We need to learn to make peace with conflict, more »
Weekly Forecast February 27:
Mercury Enters Aries, Sun Opposite Mars
I don’t know if I’m going to survive this Mars retrograde. To be more precise, life as I know it may not survive this Mars retrograde. I’m so far behind on my academic work, I’m not sure if I’ll get it all done before the end of the quarter. (For those of you waiting for 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 »
Weekly Forecast January 23:
New Moon in Aquarius, Mars Retrograde
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 »
