Tuesday Toolbox 2.6: Jupiter

  Jupiter is about expansion, growth, faith, hope, risks, travel. Jupiter is about learning beyond our limitations; travelling beyond our cultural physical and spiritual boundaries; and taking leaps of faith. When you’re expanding past your waistband instead of into the…

Astrology of Now: Looking Deeper

One of the pleasures of this retrograde period… Saturn Rx in Sagittarius, the sign of higher learning, the exotic and libraries Mars station (Rx on April 17) also in Sagittarius Mercury in shadow (Rx on April 28) in Taurus, ruled by Venus the goddess of beauty and art Jupiter Rx in Virgo, the sign of detail and craft …is the chance to take a deeper, longer look (or listen) at masterpieces of craftsmanship and art from the past.

Have you seen the horoscope of our national Lunar (Moon) Return for November 8, 2016 which happens to be General Election Day 2016? Here’s the chart, below.

View Prominent Jupiter on March 8, 2016!

Earth’s closest approach to Jupiter in 2016 occurs on March 8 @18Virgo, precisely opposing the degree of the March 9, 2016 Solar Eclipse @18Pis56. Yes, that’s Jupiter you’re seeing in the morning sky but for further information on viewing the Gas Giant, don’t miss Brian Ventrudo’s An Observer’s Guide to Planet Jupiter which includes a NASA video of the Great Benefic, the largest planet in our

Jupiter and the Seat of Consciousness

We have previously discussed Jupiter both as the benefic of common astrology and Jupiter in his Janus guise as guardian of the threshold. (For the two part article, click HERE.) We have also tackled Jupiter as the co-ruler of Pisces, with his inherent ability to cause loss, disillusion and deflation (not always Neptune’s territory). But […]

Mercury retrograde and David Cameron – Steve Judd (video)

Here is expert astrologer Steve Judd giving us a Mercury retrograde 2016 view from Britain:

A brief bio and a view of the natal horoscope of British PM David Cameron (of the tin ear!) shows his Sun @15Libra, Moon @6Leo, and Ascendant @1Libra, as Steve mentions. Interesting that Mr. Cameron has a Scorpio Mercury squaring Jupiter–one planet ruling communications and thinking processes

Bowie Turns To Face The Strange

David Bowie must have known he was dying when he recorded ★ (Blackstar), his final album, released on his to birthday three days ago. It’s a privilege to hear from this liminal place, the place between this world and the next, from such a great artist and poetic visionary. The title song ★ is an apocalyptic vision, possibly a warning about the dark tides sweeping through the collective mind. The song Lazarus is about being dead. Can’t Give Everything Away, the final song on the album, sounds exactly like a swan song. In both the videos for his last album, Bowie is blindfolded. This is […]

Astrology of Now: Focus and Healing

It’s an extraordinary — and rather difficult — start to 2016. But amidst the tumultuous energies there are some strong positives. Here’s the gen. Mercury is retrograde in Aquarius, then from January 8th, in Capricorn . The time calls for rethinking and practical reassessment. Mars is in Scorpio, his own sign. The planet of physical energy, libido and aggression, is especially strong here. The quality of Mars in Scorpio is active focus. This is about cutting out the cancers, honing in on what’s necessary. You can see it might work well with Mercury Retrograde. Check where Mars will be in your own chart. It’s […]

Astrology of Now: Jupiter in Virgo, Saturn in Sagittarius, Neptune in Pisces

With Jupiter’s move into Virgo this summer, and Saturn’s move into Sagittarius, we are seeing a shift of emphasis into the mutable signs. Neptune and Chiron, also both slow-moving, are already in Pisces. This creates a T-square pattern — at least by sign if not by exact degree. The strongest part of this pattern is a right-angle or square aspect between Saturn and Neptune. This becomes exact on November 26, and then in June and September next year. Meanwhile, Jupiter in Virgo will also square Saturn next spring. This means this T-square will never lock into an exact aspect, but Saturn […]
