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 »
Despite the lingering yawns and sleepiness, this is a great week for getting work done. Indeed, you might give yourself a Friday deadline for accomplishing everything on your to-do list in preparation for next week’s unpredictability. Mars is in diligent Virgo, where he’ll stay until next July. That’s right, we’ll have Mars in Virgo for more »
RealAstrologers is coming up on its second anniversary — a bittersweet moment, since I’ll be blowing out the candles alone. On the bright side, the site had one of its best days ever with my first Full Moon post on Monday. It was a nice reward for all the late nights rewriting pages and shouldering more »
This week’s question comes from Elena in Romania: I broke up with my friend last autumn. I am trying so hard to be with him again but he is so cold and distant. Please, just tell me, is there a chance for us? Elena, your words could have been written by any one of millions more »

It’s Valentine’s Day next Sunday, and what a show the cosmos has in store for us. This week could be positively transformational. However, it’s clear that we’re going to have to work for it, and there will be challenges and tests. Romantic partnerships in particular will be affected, and if you’ve been waiting to move more »

The chart for this lunation has three main conversations – one between the Moon conjunct Mars in Leo opposing the Sun conjunct Venus in Aquarius, more »
