I don’t know about you, but this summer’s grand water trine (Saturn in Scorpio, Neptune in Pisces, Jupiter in Cancer) has brought me much needed reprieve from the gnashing and grinding of the Uranus-Pluto square. After any war, a lady needs to rest. With my sister’s baby now birthed and fully, happily in the world, […]

Aquarius Full Moon: The Aquarian Stands Apart
There are only a few people I speak to consistently on a weekly basis: my husband and my therapist. My husband is a Leo, and my therapist is an Aquarian. As I interact with entirely different personalities, I receive very different gifts. Affection, play, fun-loving antics are the Leo’s specialty. An entertainer exemplar, he makes […]
Cancer New Moon: May You Heal
It’s Cancer season, Crabs and Crab Lovers! If Cancer season had a soundtrack it would be that of waves gently lapping on an ocean beach. And it’s summer, when the berries are sweet and ripe and the Sun warms the soul, when nostalgia beckons from the corner of our memories, this is the perfect season […]
Capricorn Full Moon: Desert Moon
During Cancer season I always feel a strong need to break away from routines, to go somewhere, experience something different. I need to turn over a new leaf or rock –preferably one found far away, on foreign land. Cancer falls in my Ninth House of Expansion, but the urge to get away is motivated by […]
Gemini New Moon: Fresh Air
Lord knows, life can be dull and routine at times. Even when we’ve got a schedule full of things we (basically) like doing, we can get stuck in a rut. Adulthood can do that to you, though with natal Saturn Gemini joined my Cancer Sun, as a child I was the little adult, the responsibilities, […]
Taurus New Moon Solar Eclipse: Worth
As someone with a very un mainstream career, when people ask what I do for a living, what I call myself (at this point either: writer, astrologer or health coach), sadly, is determined by what is most likely to merit the least amount of judgment from others. Being so firmly planted “outside the system” has […]
Scorpio Full Moon Eclipse: The Guts Of Love
A friends of my friends are in newly committed relationships. After the heady high of romance, things can get rocky. From listening to their stories, I’m reminded of the challenges a relationship faces during that precarious and magnificent time when two people decide to merge hearts & lives. John and I quickly decided we couldn’t […]
Aries New Moon: Me First
The truism goes, you have to love your self before you can truly love another. I experienced this truism as 100% true the first time I realised I’d given the love I should’ve been giving to my self to another and wound up empty & unloved. As I get older the love truisms develop in […]
Libra Full Moon: Time To Get Growing
Springtime is the season of awakening. All of nature is conspiring to wake up: the Sun warms the birds so they’ll sing, likewise encouraging the buds. This encourages certain housecats to chase said birds. We feel this, too. We get the equivalent of cabin fever in our bodies, lives and relationships: it becomes increasingly impossible […]
Pisces New Moon: The Knower
I used to co-teach a monthly new moon astrology class, one where we’d give a handout months’ worth of transits coming down the pike. Always, students bemoaned the transits. Mercury is retrograde, again? What good is that? Yet hope springs eternal — even in the heart of the most jaded starwatcher. When Jupiter met Venus, […]
