The big news this month is the inauguration of the Jupiter-Uranus cycle, the beginning of a 14-year teaching. When planets meet up in the sky, it’s less a singular event than a starting gun…

As the US presidential election looms ever closer, Jupiter and Uranus are conjoining in the sky. The mass mood is agitated, electric, prickly.
Will we meet this moment with insight and enthusiasm, or with frazzled burn-out? It depends on our understanding of the forces at play.
Uranus, the planet of disruptive change, signifies the sense of urgency upon us. Jupiter, the planet of religion, signifies higher principles, gods and devils.
Right now, it’s urgently necessary to name our devils, and to make allies of them.… click here to continue reading.
There’s electricity in the air this month, with the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction just over the horizon. This is a major transit, a milestone along the road to the Age of Aquarius.
The sign Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, so the conjunction puts the spotlight on a collective vibe that’s already a flashpoint: Pluto’s arrival in Aquarius. That ingress pushed Aquarius to the forefront, and Mars and Venus gave it extra voltage when they met up with Pluto last month (they remain there through March 11th and 22nd).… click here to continue reading.
Are you a non-Aquarius who finds herself intrigued by this odd bird of a sign? There’s a lot of it in the sky right now, so this is our chance to get better acquainted with its wavelength. Aquarius is often brilliant, sometimes opaquely baffling, and never less than fascinating.
And if you have Aquarius in your own chart, be sure to celebrate your uniqueness while February’s transits are buzzing above.
On Feb 9th, the Moon is New at the 21st degree of Aquarius, marking out the themes of the four weeks to come.… click here to continue reading.
New Year’s Day in the Western calendar always packs a multiple punch. It begins the month, laying out the themes of January. And it also begins the solar year, which means its transits constitute the birth chart of 2024.
The big news for the month and the year – not to mention the next two decades — is the re-entry of Pluto into Aquarius on Jan 20th. The Sun will have conjoined Pluto mere hours before the big ingress, so this should be a red letter day.… click here to continue reading.
At its best, Sagittarius lives its whole life in a passionate search for truth. At its worst, it believes it has found it.
As it always does in December, the Sun stays in Sagittarius until the Solstice (12/21). This year, Mars is there as well, all month. Mercury too retrogrades back into Sagittarius on 12/22, and Venus joins them as December draws to a close (12/29).
It’s a good time to get to know this sign a little better.… click here to continue reading.
Just as the season’s flames were burning out, the world received a new firestorm on an energy level. I discuss the chart of the Middle East crisis in the MothersSky blog.
On personal and collective levels, we are having to navigate the element fire. On November ninth, Mercury enters Sagittarius, on the 22nd the Sun follows suit, and on the 24th it’s Mars’s turn.
But first, it’s Scorpio time.… click here to continue reading.
There was an earthquake last night here in San Francisco. It felt like the Earth was shuddering from the violence occurring on the other side of the globe.
It was the eve of the Blood Moon. Full Moons like this are said to bring to light to that which has been lying dormant. The light could arrive as a flash of understanding, or as a burst of blazing and blinding.
It has arrived this month in an orgy of suffering.… click here to continue reading.
Do you have any planets at the first degree of a mutable sign? If so, Saturn has your number.
The Great Bullshit Detector has found its way back to the first degree of Pisces, which means it is zeroing in on whatever is represented by that natal planet of yours. This may show you things you’d rather not see.
Don’t take it personally. Wherever Saturn is passing, we tend to worry that we’ve done something wrong, but that’s not the point of the transit.… click here to continue reading.
Get ready to pivot. Venus & Jupiter station the first week of September, and Mercury stations midway through the month. These changes of direction signal subtle shifts in the atmosphere – or not-so-subtle, for those with natal planets in their path.
Then comes the Equinox (9/22), when we get a shift of a different kind.
Venus turns direct on September 3rd at twelve Leo. You don’t have to have a planet at exactly that degree to feel the heat.… click here to continue reading.
