FULL MOON in LEO

Today the Moon in Leo opposes the Sun and Mercury in Aquarius while all of the above are (T) squared by a recently direct Uranus in Taurus. All of these planets are in the bounds of Saturn and Mars, which can be a bit on the rough side… but let’s talk about the Uranus situation.Continue reading “FULL MOON in LEO”

Mercury Rx in Libra

Because I am a complete and total nerd AND because I feel like some of you will appreciate this, I’ve compiled a timeline of transits/events that help to tell the story that is Mercury Rx in Libra. Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter are all intimately entwined during this period and therefore will be the sign posts that mark Mercury’s journey into the underworld and eventual rebirth. It’s a tragicomedy for sure. I’ve been laugh-crying the whole time and we’ve only just gotten through the first shadow phase. 

Sun in Leo Opposite Saturn Rx in Aquarius

As I write this (12:13 pm Pacific time on Saturday, August 13, 2022), the Sun in Leo is exactly opposite Saturn retrograde in Aquarius (and my natal Sun/Mercury) at 21 degrees. I want to talk about the cycle that these two planets share and how the hands of the celestial clock show what time ofContinue reading “Sun in Leo Opposite Saturn Rx in Aquarius”

Mars in Libra: September 14-October 30

Mars and Venus are quite an unlikely pair, though they are essentially two sides of the same coin. While Mars divides, Venus brings together. The former takes pleasure in bonfires, butcher shops, and all things related to war while the latter prefers lush gardens, boudoirs, and amorous activities. When the god of ambition and assertion enters the temple of Libra, the surroundings are not conducive to his usual Martian activities. This means that things Mars represents may be challenged during this time. However, Mars can inspire us to stand up for what is just while Libra provides a comfortable space to tend our battle wounds.

Venus in Scorpio: September 10-October 7

Venus and Mars are quite an unlikely pair, though they are essentially two sides of the same coin. While Venus brings together, Mars divides. The former takes pleasure in lush gardens, boudoirs, and amorous activities while the latter prefers bonfires, butcher shops, and all things related to war. When the goddess of love and desire enters the temple of Scorpio, the surroundings are not conducive to her usual Venusian activities. This means that those things Venus represents may be challenged during this time. However, this pairing of opposites can also allow for a deeper emotional exploration of those themes.

Mercury opposite Neptune (August 22-26)

is still traveling backward through Pisces) for a few days this week. An opposition is like two kids on a seesaw that try to both be off the ground at the same time, but inevitably if one is up, the other is down. With these two planets things can feel a bit frazzled, a bit murky, a bit all over the place.

Aquarius Full Moon II

This full moon brings us to a new part of our journey. All of what we have learned so far– all of the mistakes, the madness, the heartache, the suffering, all of the people we’ve met, all of the people we’ve been, everything we’re proud of, and all of the things that we know we know nothing about– is moving through the prismatic lens of spirit and being focused so that we can see ourselves as whole beings.

Mid Moon News: August 16-20

Venus begins the week by picking up a lot of power as she moves into her Libran temple and ends it with a beautiful, grounding trine to Saturn Rx in Aquarius. We’re sorting through details going in an effort to tune into what it is we can and cannot relinquish when it comes to our integrity as individuals which requires looking into the not too distant past.

Venus in Libra: August 16-September 10

Venus is about to move on from detail oriented and analytical Virgo to her masculine, airy temple. Here in Libra, the goddess of love, beauty, harmony, and sensuality has everything she needs to express herself as she sees fit…

Mercury in Virgo: August 11-30

The planet of communication, travel, learning, and oracular divination is coming home to Virgo to organize details and clarify messages over the next two weeks. Mars and Venus stuff gets a lift during this time, as both planets are still in Mercury’s domicile.
