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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

It happens annually around this time. The Sun’s leap out of the swamps of Scorpio into the aspirational surge of Sagittarius is one of the year’s most dramatic shifts. Picture a flaming arrow blasting upwards out of a cool green marsh. This year, we have three arrows bursting skyward. On the 15th, Venus enters Sagittarius, […]

Are you ready to change direction? From the beginning of the month to the end, October is a month of pivots. Four planets will be changing directions: three go direct (SD) and one goes retrograde (SR). If you are attuned to subtle shifts in the energy field, you will feel them on Oct 2 (Mercury […]
