Practice What You Preach
These are the last few weeks of a transit we won’t see again in our lifetimes. Neptune in Pisces, the wateriest planet in the wateriest sign, is dribbling to a close. It won’t be back for 168 years. Before it says goodbye, Neptune in Pisces stations direct on 12/10. After that, all astro eyes will […]
The Blue Wave and the Orange Monster
“Joy is great, isn’t it?” Those were the first words of the first blog I wrote for MotherSky, back in November of 2008. Obama had just won, and people like me were dancing in the streets. Now Mamdani has won in New York. Another charismatic outlier, setting another record for racial firsts, young, smart and […]

Slings and Arrows
Before you get on your high horse this month, make sure you know what you’re fighting for. Mars, the warrior planet, becomes a crusader when it enters Sagittarius (11/4). Any natal planets in its path will be prodded into life. Whether this feels like vitalization or aggravation depends on our understanding of the transit’s intention. […]
The Silence of the Generals
Donaldo needed both a new Epstein distraction and a quick attention fix. A packed stadium somewhere. So he hit upon the surreally ill-advised idea of ordering Secretary KegsBreath to summon 800 of the highest-ranking generals (the top guys, a tremendous group, nobody’s ever seen anything like it) to Quantico. Young Pete was to be the […]

Mining for Treasure
On 10/13 Pluto goes direct, after being retrograde since May. Barely moving all month, it stops just shy of 1-and-a-half Aquarius. Find this degree in your natal chart to see where a mining operation is going on. You’re being ushered underground, to hunt for treasure. The precious nuggets you’re digging for are bits of unconscious […]
Zapped into Realness
At last, we hear from the survivors. As September began, a microphone was finally handed to the women who, as teenagers, served as party accessories for Jeffrey Epstein and his guests. Uranus (sudden clarity) was stationing in the sky, sending a bolt of lightning through the chaotic murk of the media ecosystem. For months now, […]

Falling Awake
September is full of twists and turns. Some of its ingresses and retrogradations are major, some are minor, but each one gives us its own take on the biggest deal happening in the sky right now: the Neptune-Saturn conjunction. Every transit that comes our way is a subplot to this main plot. World-altering on a […]
Just Say No
The guy in the White House is aging, as are we all. The difference being that his degeneration is very public, and causes widespread harm. Then there’s the issue of self-awareness. Whenever this is lacking in human beings, it’s a shame. But when someone with this much worldly power lacks it, it’s a crisis. Lately […]

I and Thou
Mars in Libra (8/6 – 9/22) is an odd bird of a placement. Mars is about asserting the self, but in Libra it needs others to do so. We often see this placement in the natal charts of those who work with one-to-one relationships — marriage counselors, moderators of debates — or who find themselves […]
Pedo Bros
Let me get this straight. The reason MAGA’s upset about the Epstein scandal is they have blue balls over not getting their holy grail: a list of pedo Democrats? Not because their hero used to pal around with Epstein? They’re pissed because they’d been promised a fantasy of proof, maybe pictures of Hillary Clinton clutching […]
