12.4.20 Rebuilding life philosophies under Mercury trine Chiron

art by Everild Wolfden With Mercury in Sagittarius now (especially after quite a long while in Scorpio), it’s easier now to take a longer-range and more optimistic view of the things that are to come.  Our dreams and longings are easier to imagine, and we may be somewhat more energized to make any […]

12.3.20 Lunar aspects dominate under the Cancer Moon

art by Joma Sipe One thing about all these planets in Capricorn, whenever the Moon goes through one of the Cardinal signs (Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, Libra) it forms a stressful alliance with the Capricorn planets and Mars too right now.  The Cancer Moon draws us deep into our emotions and feelings, and helps […]

Sunday poetry for eclipse transformation

Art and poetry by Amara Bronwyn Hollow Bones We locked up our wisdom into our bones
And swallowed the key
They sank in our rivers of blood
And we forget the maps
Because we had to forget the mysteries
To keep them safeWe wove our hair into brooms
And swept over our paths
And then burned the earth with our […]

11.27.20 A day to break out of a routine, and mental agility

11.25.20 Lunar fire with the Aries Moon conjunct Mars today

There’s not a lot of conflict in the astrological skies today, and the Aries Moon continues to inspire and motivate, especially as it transits Mars today.  Mars is in Aries, the sign that it rules, so its conjunction to the Aries Moon gives us a bit of a double whammy of impulsivity and action.  Mercury […]
