October is here, and we’re already at the first quarter Moon. Did someone hit the fast-forward button? Fortunately, this week should be calmer on most fronts. Last week was a wild ride indeed, culminating with mass arrests in the anti-Wall Street protest in New York. There is no question that the protests reflect the building more »
Party’s over! It’s back on the treadmill – figuratively and literally – and time to start figuring out how you’re going to keep up and make new plans at the same time. And that’s probably what the entire year is going to be like. Many of us found a new groove in 2010, but getting more »
It’s déjà vu all over again. The first lunation of 2011 is a New Moon solar eclipse in Capricorn – just as it was in 2010. And, once again, it’s symbolic of an extraordinary year. Not only will we have another buildup in cardinal signs, but 2011 is a rare six-eclipse year. At 13 degrees more »
So much for merry Sagittarius. Some kind of chaos has been unleashed in the past week, and I’d place my bets on Mercury crossing the final degrees of Sagittarius, which he’ll visit twice more in December as he moves through a retrograde phase. At the same time, troublemaker Mars is moving through these same degrees. more »
This week has a very different feel to it, with the Sun entering merry Sagittarius on Monday and Jupiter now direct. It’s good timing, too, as we head into a holiday week in the United States and our biggest food party of the year. Our traditional main dish originally was a wild bird, and hunting more »
Neptune returns direct today, and it’s fitting that I’m literally surrounded by fog. It sure feels that way internally, with all the late nights catching up on my backlog of consultations. We’d love to love Neptune, who at his best symbolizes love unlimited by space or time. He (some call him “she”) is said to more »
In our fast-paced world, time is the one thing we don’t seem to have enough of. So when we have to go back and rethink our plans or re-do something, we often think of it as wasting time. Likewise, we tend to think that going back means we’re losing ground and not moving forward. This more »
I have high hopes for this New Moon. In many ways, it starts a new cycle and builds on the foundation of the cardinal T-square. If you’ve been confused about how the T-square was redirecting your life – or if you didn’t see it at all – the message will be readily apparent now. All of more »
Officially it’s not yet fall in the Northern Hemisphere, but that feeling is in the air of being between worlds. Typically, the end of October is when we feel the veil between the worlds lift, but it seems early this year. I attribute it to the simultaneous stationing of Pluto and Mercury, plus the entry more »
This promises to be another fairly quiet week, although there will be some movement and more than a few hints of what’s coming next. Mercury is retrograde for another week, keeping us in analytical mode, especially regarding what took place over the summer. We can’t move forward until we resolve certain dilemmas and reconcile conflicting more »
