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”

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”
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.
Virgo Season
Virgo season = harvest. We are stocking the larders, fixing the barn, counting the cows, and all sorts of other farming analogies. It’s time to reap what we have sown. It’s time to prepare for the changing of the seasons. Alphabetize and color code your records, books, and recipe collections. Take apart anything mechanical that you can get your hands on, clean it, and then put it back together. Make lists…. Lots of lists. Make lists for your lists’ lists. Have good manners. Take your health seriously. Eat fruits and veggies. Floss your teeth. Edit, organize, and streamline everything. Don’t let your mind run away with you!
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.
July 2021 Mid-Moon News Part I
This past month, Venus and Mars ran through the Pluto-Saturn-Uranus fun house back to back. It was like if they unmasked the monster at the end of Scooby Doo, but it was actually us all along. We would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn’t been for our meddling higher selves, asking us to level up. Now that we’ve gotten the scary business of facing our resistance to truly valuing ourselves out of the way, we can regroup. The planets of love and war have been wrapt in a somewhat fiery, somewhat harmonious embrace for about a week now and will be for another. It seems that the depth gazing, earth shaking journey they’ve been on has inspired new strategies to getting what we want and keen evaluation of exactly what that is and why.
Venus+Mars Opposite Saturn
As more challenging energies of previous transits dissipate, we gain some space to enjoy a new sense of unity between our preferences/wishes and actions/will. There’s so much inspiration here to create something that comes straight from the heart. Mars and Venus want to fully enjoy the *passion*, *spirit*, and *sensuality* of conceiving a legacy fit for a monarch, which is precisely Leo’s goal. I see us coming through a period of testing, reflection, and redirection into a new groove. This is a process of creating new rules and guidelines for how we conduct ourselves and how we channel our desires not only for our own gratification, but for the well-being of all with whom we coexist.
Cancer Season
Cancer season begins on the Summer solstice and marks the point in time when wildflowers are blooming, bees are buzzing, and the sun is nice and toasty (in the northern hemisphere). This sign rules the kitchen, so get your cauldrons ready. Geek out on vintage attire and adornments. Explore deep cottagecore fantasies. Cook all the time. Take pleasure in caring for your tribe. Go through old photos. Be sentimental. Feel your feelings, but take no shit.
Capricorn Full Moon
We are looking at opportunities for emotional healing coming up from the depths, grieving the deaths of our past selves, applying a salve of tenderness and understanding to our traumas, and sewing up the tears in our hearts that have desperately needed mending. Yup. It’s all here for you. Please refrain from keeping your arms and legs inside the vehicle because you really need to feel this, but do fasten your seatbelts. We’re going in.
Solar Eclipse in Gemini
ht now, that’s the Universe saying, hey buddy, take a pause. The hours right before each new moon are when subtle energies are more internal than any other time during the moon’s cycle. The Gemini new moon/solar eclipse that is happening at 6:52am (eastern) on June 10 is no exception. In fact, the whole vibe is accentuated by the current retrograde journeys of Mercury, Saturn, and (to a lesser extent) Pluto.
