“What will the eclipse mean, what will it mean?” we cry. The answer is, it will mean something different for each of us.

Cancer Solar Eclipse: Who’s Driving?
“Going deep” is unquestionably one of the assignments for this Solar Eclipse, with the Sun and Moon in Cancer exactly opposite Pluto in Capricorn. Pluto symbolizes the necessary functions of tearing down, rooting out decay, and winnowing out weakness. But sometimes, its destructive side gets out of control.

Capricorn Full Moon: Midyear Resolutions
The Capricorn New Moon falls near the beginning of each calendar year and signals a fresh commitment to becoming your best, most successful self. At midyear, the Capricorn Full Moon is its mirror image, the response to its call. It’s time to face the optimistic pages of those calendars and planners and compare them with your progress to date. There is still time to change your strategy—or even your resolutions.

Gemini New Moon: Road Trip
It’s so easy to trivialize Gemini, to dismiss it as a fickle, gossipy, lightweight sign. But that is a young person’s way of looking at it, the perspective of someone who hasn’t yet learned about the tyranny of definition. When you’ve spent decades writing, editing, and telling your own life stories, you begin to see Gemini quite differently. Is it fickle to decide that you want the opportunity to explore something new about yourself, or is it a response to something primal and creative? Is it intellectually lazy to gossip about other people, or is it simple curiosity and fascination with fellow humans?

Sagittarius Full Moon: Longitude of Happiness
Sagittarius does start out on each journey so happily, as though birth were a baptism that removed all memory of the pain and terror of Scorpio, its preceding sign. Sagittarius is a bundle of instinctual joy in gleeful defiance of rationality, and the Full Moon in this sign is a big, happy, irrational invitation to join the party; to approach life with good humor, innocence, and a glint of uncivilized rowdiness. But look just a little bit closer…

New Moon in Taurus: The Mother Ship
Knowing she would someday leave us, our mother gave her children gifts that would help bridge the aching gap between her death and ours. One was the gift of each other, sibling guardians of the in-jokes and road-trip memories. The other was an introduction to those beautiful places of earthly beauty, which we took for granted with the careless entitlement of youth.

Scorpio Full Moon: The Great Mystery
The Scorpio Full Moon highlights two truths: One is that, against all odds, each of us exists. And the other is that eventually, we won’t.

Aries New Moon: The Taming
We start out as wild horses, all of us, and life is the process by which we’re tamed. Some of us are civilized by gentle masters who teach us restraint without breaking our spirits. Others were brutalized by cruel circumstances that taught us to trample everything in our paths. Most of us have encountered both types of master; some days we gallop, and some days we trample.

Libra Full Moon: It Isn’t Fair
Each moment of epic societal fail has a pedigree, a family tree that you can trace to understand its origins and to identify the point at which its DNA became corrupted. But the tree also has new branches and leaves that represent new generations with fresh energy… and that is a source of hope, a promise that wounds can heal and that day will inevitably follow night. It’s not fairness, exactly, but there is a kind of symmetry to it, and balance.

Pisces New Moon: Where is Your Sanctuary?
The Pisces areas of our lives are sacred not just because they’re places where we can retreat and regroup, but because they are where we meet the issues that stand between us and true inner peace.
