Scorpio Lunar Eclipse: Snake in the Grass, Dragon in the Heart
There is an opportunity in this eclipse that’s characteristic of eclipses in general and Scorpio eclipses in particular. It’s the opportunity to transform yourself into something even more formidable than a crafty serpent: a fire-breathing dragon.

Eclipse Astrology: Lunar Eclipses, Earthly Instincts
At this lunar eclipse, know that the Earth is offering you something, some smooth block of marble, a piece of wood, a section of clay. Open your instinctive mind, and ask yourself: What is it that wants to be brought into being? And what is the right tool with which to carve it out?

“Where’s my Progressed Moon?”
The Moon symbolizes the rhythm and minutiae of daily life, so the Progressed Moon tells us which matters are likely to consume your day-to-day existence (the Progressed Moon’s house) and the style in which you’ll approach them (the Progressed Moon’s sign).

New Moon in Aries: Hair of the Dog
I suppose I think of the planets and the gods they represent as something like the ancestors who live in our DNA. We think we’re completely unique, a product of our own creation. We make our own decisions and choices, or so we think; but could it be genetics, years of television viewing, or our third-grade teacher making those choices? Or even … planets?

Libra Full Moon: Befriending the Enemy
Astrologers are fond of observing that a Libra is nothing more than an Aries who’s been to charm school. Libra has the ability to get what he wants while making it look as though serving his own needs is the furthest thing from his mind. That isn’t meant as a criticism, by the way. I admire the strategy.

New Moon Astrology: Beginnings
Astrology works because moments in time, like seeds, contain the prescription for what they will become. But even gardeners and farmers, with a wisdom borne of years negotiating with nature, acknowledge that all the planning and care and preparation in the world won’t ensure the outcome of their crops. Nature and life have a way of surprising us….

New Moon in Pisces: Deep Focus
What sometimes looks to the rest of the world like a lack of focus is actually Pisces looking deeply, unblinkingly, at something the rest of us just can’t see.

Full Moon in Virgo: Practical Magic.
When we leave our formalized ritual spaces, we need a method of pursuing our lofty spiritual goals in the real world, ideally one that capitalizes on the fifteen waking hours each day that most of us spend just taking care of business. Enter Virgo, who asks, what if each part of your day, tasks great and small, could be a catalyst for your spiritual growth?

Pisces: The Dustbin
The world is full of dirt and refuse and difficulty that collects in our odd corners, but Pisces avoids ninety-degree angles, swimming out to sea for regular baptisms. So no, Pisces brethren, you are not a psychic dustbin; you are the repositories of our collective wisdom, pain, and ecstasy.
