This month offers a crash course in power, strategy and subterfuge. The sky is full of Scorpio…
For at least part of the month of March, six planets will be in Pisces; the sign of confusion or bliss, depending on how we approach it. We’ll have the choice to either float on top of the chaos or drown in it. It all depends on how well we…
This month we’ll get a cosmic lesson about leakage (Neptune), making me wonder whether the ongoing saga of WikiLeaks will take another turn. The explosive (Uranus) and taboo (Pluto) nature of this juicy international (Jupiter) drama has made Julian Assange a major star, which is what happens when somebody is…
Would you like to sharpen your attention in 2011? This is a New Year’s resolution that would be warmly received by the cosmos, judging by what the planets are up to. The New Moon on January 4th is the best day to send your intention forth. It’s an Eclipse, making…
In December we‘ll get a big blast of the Uranus-Pluto square, the transit I’ve been calling the longest arm of the Cross. The Cardinal Cross is the epochal configuration of planets that exploded this past summer, and will continue, with variations on the same themes, for about six more…
“Illusions give such color to the world,” wrote F. Scott Fitzgerald to a friend, “that you don’t care whether things are true or false as long as they partake of the magical glory.” This is a beautiful description of Neptune, the planet that dominates the skies this month. Neptune bewitches…
The Cardinal Climax is giving us a breather as we move into October, offering us a chance to stand back and take stock. Uranus and Jupiter have retrograded into Pisces, easing off the fiery intensity of the Aries Point. Saturn is moving forward in Libra, past the relentless exactitudes…

As the month of August begins, the Saturn-Uranus opposition has just peaked for the final time, after two years of spinning us dizzy. Mars is conjunct Saturn and opposed by Jupiter, which is conjunct Uranus; and they are all squaring Pluto (dismantling) in Capricorn (nation states; the economy). Into this…
