When we stop trying to hold the world up on our shoulders, to deny reality, or to force things to work out the way we’d like them to, we’re invited into a world that’s much more powerful than our own tiny solar systems.

Cancer New Moon: Vacation
Sometimes, leaving behind what’s safe and familiar is the only way we’ll learn who we are… but it makes us afraid that we’ll never find our way back home.
Highlights for July 5-11, 2021: Second Childhood
This New Moon offers a simple message: However scary, futile, menacing, or hopeless it seems to do so, give birth to something. Nourish someone. Nurture the live force. Do what’s within your power – and learn to let go of what isn’t.
Episode 88 | Cancer New Moon: Cash-ing In!
Cancer New Moon, Libra First Quarter, Venus aspecting Saturn/Uranus then Mars; Mercury squares Neptune (again) and then enters Cancer. Next episode on July 19!
Highlights for June 28-July 4, 2021: A Decision and a Roar
The decisions we make at this Last Quarter Moon are not necessarily the final word. But they’ll define our battleground for resolving the larger Saturn/Uranus battle that we’ve been fighting, and will continue to fight, all year.
Episode 87 | Capricorn Full Moon: Mullet Over!
A dramatic Capricorn Full Moon and two planets changing direction (Mercury turns direct, while Neptune turns retrograde). Venus gets busy, leaving home-loving Cancer and heading into expressive LEEEoooo), while swimming nicely with sleepyhead Neptune and facing off against Pluto. Yikes! Good thing the Sun takes time to celebrate itself by making a happy aspect to ever-expansive Jupiter!
Capricorn Full Moon: Midyear Resolutions
For better or worse, the Moon in Capricorn is ruled by Saturn in a very close square to freedom-loving Uranus, the second of three such squares this year. Whatever your prison, you are gearing up for a daring jailbreak.
Episode 86 | The Cancer Solstice (Not that there’s anything wrong with that!)
April and Jen take the 405 and exit at the Cancer Solstice – where they belong! We welcome a Virgo First Quarter Moon, sit tight while Saturn squares Uranus, and raise a glass to Jupiter turning retrograde.
Highlights for June 14-20, 2021: Struggles of Heaven and Earth
As Saturn squares Uranus, expect conflict – perhaps with a partner, a friend, a boss, a neighbor. Don’t shy from it; it’s been coming for awhile, and ignoring it won’t make it go away. It’ll just ensure that the pressure keeps building, until someone does or says something that they can’t take back.
Summer Solstice: Slowing Down, Turning Around
You get to the middle part of your life and you begin to want to jettison parts of your past, as if to make your life more fuel-efficient so that it will carry you farther. You look for new places and situations that you can step into without all that excess cargo of stuff and failed dreams and loss and sad relationships.
