SkyWatch July 2025
We Are Family
Mars is chugging along in Virgo all month, sharpening our attentiveness to tasks. Use this transit to streamline your handling of quotidian matters: how you water your houseplants, schedule your shopping, trim your nails (if Mars is aspecting your natal Venus, go ahead and indulge in a full-on manicure.) Kinship Jupiter moved into Cancer last […]
The Four Horsemen
So now he’s saying Biden died and got robotically cloned. Can we finally agree, dear Trump supporters, that the man has lost his marbles? No? What are y’all giggling about? Crazy balls I suspect his fans understand, better than the rest of us do, that it’s all just a winking game. The old shyster just […]

Something Realer
For the past few Skywatches we’ve been looking at the big astro event of the year: the Saturn-Neptune conjunction. It won’t be exact until early 2026, but the two planets are neck and neck in the sky right now. Neptune in Aries The transit started with Neptune’s ingress in late March, dropping us into a […]

Spot the Rot
As always, the best way to get a bead on your overall transit picture is to clock the outer planets first. Identify where in your chart the heavy hitters are currently passing: especially Neptune and Pluto. They’re always at work, somewhere, in the background of your life. Unless they’re bumping into a natal planet, or […]
Fight Club
Feeling a little nauseous right now? Welcome to TrumpLand, the world’s least amusing amusement park. The featured ride for April has been the sickening-soar-&-dip. So far this month, the Orange One has shifted from imposing punishing tariffs on penguin-inhabited islands to backpedaling on most of them, presumably right after his insider-trading pals pulled their money […]

Singin’ in the Rain
Dress for heat but keep an umbrella handy. In April we’ll be navigating fire while dodging the sprinklers. Mid-month, Mercury’s entry into Aries and Mars’s into Leo (4/15 and 4/17) impassions whatever we’re doing. Will you use it to fuel your creativity, or waste it on crude displays of ego? Depends on you. On the […]
The Boy Ain’t Right
In DonnieWorld, the worst sin is being boring. But boring is what that speech was, the State-of-the-DisUnion one he gave the other day. As Ryan Broderick says, he’s not even making up new lies anymore. A month into his second run, the man’s scorecard has not been stellar. Most notably, that ugly performance with Zelensky […]
SkyWatch March 2025
The Hero and the Thug
This month features the first of the three major ingresses of 2025: Neptune going into Aries on March 30th, Saturn into Aries in May and Uranus into Gemini in July. Neptune takes about 168 years to traverse the zodiac, so when it changes signs, it’s a big deal. Moreover, it’s moving from the sign of […]
Flooding the Zone
Where to even begin, right? The man promised to play the dictator “on day one,” but I don’t think any of us realized his dismantling of the US government would be this swift and vicious. And crude as a bag of rocks. He has followed Steve Bannon’s directive to the letter, “flooding the zone with […]
SkyWatch February 2025
Aftershocks
February opens with a Venus-Neptune conjunction. This is a sweet, dreamy transit, which will be especially palpable to those with natal planets in late-degree mutable signs. All of us should savor it, as one of a series of fond farewells to Neptune in Pisces, the world-altering fourteen years now coming to a close. On the […]
