Saturn, the planet of grown-up thinking, is moving through a sign that believes in fairies.

Since just before the summer Solstice, Saturn (realism) has been inching backwards in early Pisces (the otherworldly and uncanny). In August it occupies the same degrees it was in two months ago. As the month begins, it opposes Mercury; as the month is closing, it opposes the Sun.

Saturn in Pisces is a paradoxical placement. This is the planet of disciplined focus, but it’s in a sign that erodes boundaries.… click here to continue reading.

Pluto has retrograded back into Capricorn, revisiting the last couple of degrees of the sign. Like a hunting dog chasing the rabbit back over its own tracks, Pluto will make a few loops before it moves in for the kill.

Pluto demands that we identify the issues of the current sign before it moves on to the next. Next year, when it re-enters Aquarius, for two decades, it will have other fish to fry (see this webinar).… click here to continue reading.

June is alive with flutterings, quick shifts, coming-and-goings. As the month begins, the Sun is in Gemini, the sign of birds, butterflies and weathervanes. Especially when Mercury, too, enters mutable air, things can change direction on a dime.

The first half of the month is a time to consider the ways information flows in and out of our lives. It’s time to take stock of our communications. How are we handling wired life?… click here to continue reading.

On May Day, Pluto makes its first station since arriving in its new home, Aquarius.

Whenever a planet seems (from Earth’s point of view) to stop in the sky, it temporarily takes over the solar system. For days on end, it pumps energy into that one degree of the zodiac: in this case, zero Aquarius.

The dark god is leaning down close, whispering in our ear what his upcoming lessons will be.… click here to continue reading.

How y’all doing with Pluto in Aquarius?

It slid into this new territory a few days after the Equinox last month, when the solar year and the lunar cycle were both brand new.

On a collective level, Pluto’s new placement heralds a reckoning with the Tech Revolution and the nature of intelligence. Still in the first degree of Aquarius, the Great Dismantler is going to get us thinking about humanity as a species (discussed in this webinar).… click here to continue reading.

Everything’s shifting this month. There are no fewer than six ingresses (planets moving out of one sign and into another): Mercury and Saturn both enter Pisces (3/2 and 7), Venus enters her home sign of Taurus (3/16), and Mercury and the Sun enter Aries, back-to-back (3/19/20).

These transitions create undercurrents in the mass vibration which we would do well to accommodate. Life works a lot more smoothly when we align ourselves with what’s already happening.… click here to continue reading.

Are you feeling that end-of-an-era vibe?

Pluto (breakdown) is now in the last two degrees of Capricorn (social fabric). Since 2008 it has been destabilizing collective structures and certainties; this month is its last hurrah.

This is the last time in our lifetimes when we’ll experience this transit, so let’s do our best to understand it.

Farewell, Pluto in Capricorn

Along with the excitement about Pluto moving into a new sign there’s a lot of ill-informed astrology buzzing around the internet.… click here to continue reading.

Like a stoker opening the door of a blast furnace, Jupiter in Aries is ushering us into 2023. The new year and month begin with the big gas giant barreling forward in the most assertive mode (cardinal) of the most assertive element (fire).

If you have natal planets in Aries, you know how impatient that part of yourself is. It wants to get going. Right now.

For about a year, Jupiter (goals) will be trying to light a fire under our loftiest aspirations.… click here to continue reading.

December is alive with skittering restlessness. Planets in Sagittarius (fire) are coming up against Mars in Gemini (air) as well as Neptune and Jupiter in Pisces (water). The resulting energy field is hot and searing, like steam.

As all these mutable planets bump into each other, we’re likely to be buzzing around like molecules in a heated beaker. So let’s make all that movement mean something.

Sagittarius is always on the lookout for wider meaning.… click here to continue reading.
