Graveyard of Empires: 3 Empires: 0
Joe Biden found himself unable, for whatever reasons, to keep up the tradition of kicking the bloody can down the road to some future president. Under the Full Moon of August, he struggled to explain the origins of the occupation of Afghanistan (it’s being called a “war,” but that doesn’t seem the mot juste […]

You Find out Who Your Friends Are
As August begins, the Sun opposes Saturn, a transit that doesn’t deserve its doleful reputation. The first few days of the month, when Mercury too is involved, would be an especially good time to work on our Saturn-phobia. Since December, Saturn has been prodding us to clarify what groups match – or at least complement […]

Mars in transit tends to aggravate and […]
Re-entry
Are we ready to plunge back in? Covid is surging in Asia and South America, but in the USA people are champing at the bit to venture forth, lose our house flab and get our muscles back.

We Make Plans and the Goddess Laughs
In June we face it again: the great conflict of 2021. Mid-month, the Saturn-Uranus square peaks for the second time. The world has been feeling the impact of this transit since late 2020.

White Dove over Troubled Waters
The ongoing contest between the bull (fixed earth) and the angel (fixed air) rears its head strongly in May. The year began with this Taurus-Aquarius theme (see January’s SkyWatch) and now it is back, this time with the cards stacked on the side of the bull.

The Bull Paws the Ground
During the first part of April, we’ll get a pop quiz. Pluto (destruction/ rebirth), the main driver behind the extraordinary past 14 months, will get squares from Venus, the Sun and Mercury. Between 4/11 and 17, one by one, they’ll slam into Pluto, now slowing down for its station on 4/27. Expect the dramas that […]
