The latest cosmic shifts over the past few weeks have kept us on our toes, between Sun (ego, identity) and Mars (energy, desires) in balancing Libra, then Mercury (thoughts, communications) and Venus (values, love, money) transiting intense Scorpio, while stabilizing Saturn and transformative Pluto both stationed direct. This new week quiets down just a tad; […]

An unexpected shift could be hard to resist, as overpowering winds aim to send us off into another direction. Stay mindful, in order to […]

Cutting Loose | October Tarotscope | Starcana Cosmic Dirt
Good day friend. There’s an uncomfortable shift on Tuesday October 1, where values, relationships and/or money situations can be affected by a slippery Venus/Pluto square. In the attempt to gain control of personal desires; the intensity of Tuesday’s Scorpio Moon will strengthen powerful cravings. Something (or someone) is bound to be cut loose as a […]
The Art of Compromise | Starcana Cosmic Dirt
It’s all about relating while struggling to create a form of balance under the next four weeks, as Sun (ego, identity) moves from problem-solving Virgo, and into graceful Libra on the Fall Equinox, Monday September 23. With Sun in Libra, we are led toward the equality of light and darkness, life and death, order and […]
September 21st, 2019: Crises and Opportunity
Third Quarter Square between the Gemini Moon and Virgo Sun (28 deg)
Jupiter in Sagittarius square Neptune Rx in Pisces (16 deg)
The 3rd Quarter Square triggers a crisis between rigid perfection versus flexible choices. The Virgo Sun offers a set way of doing things; routines and solutions are grounded in practical knowledge. The Gemini Moon raises awkward questions- suddenly there are multiple choices and more than one way of being correct. You may want to stick with what works, but it’s time to look at additional options. This is about the tension between precision and flexibility. Is what you know the final word? It might be time to question the diagnosis.
The final Jupiter/ Neptune square also occurs today. Here we have another crisis-Jupiter’s ideals and wisdom versus Neptune’s dreams. Watch for exaggerated hopes and beliefs as both Jupiter and Neptune push the limits (Neptune dissolves and Jupiter expands). You believe there’s more/better or you think you know more.
The previous two squares occurred on January 13th and June 16th, so this is not a new issue. If you’ve been wrestling with the tendency to overdo it or you’ve gotten swept away in an unrealistic belief, this final square will unveil the truth. This can also be your final test of faith.
I should add that Jupiter and Neptune in any aspect can bring a lucky shot of transcendence that lifts you up and over. So within the swirling crisis and delusion there can be a vein of gold. Pay attention to the opportunity that emerges in an unexpected way, even if the surrounding situation is stressful. What new possibilities are you perceiving? Maybe you went too far but this revealed something better. Maybe you believed the false promise but your eyes were opened to a better truth.
Look at what’s expanded in your life. And remember you’re in the Third Quarter Phase- ask those questions.

Growing from the Inside Out | Starcana Cosmic Dirt
Welcome to a new week! During the past five months of a restructuring Saturn retrograde, we may have experienced some detours or tough setbacks in our pursuit of individual goals and personal growth. It was a slow and uncomfortable time of pause, but we were supplied with plenty of time to re-learn, re-work, re-blueprint, renegotiate […]

Astrology of Now: Battle of the Geminis
Like much of the country, I was glued to the TV last night as the British Parliament took back control. It was theatrical. The cabal of profiteers sitting on the front bench, who currently control the Conservative party and government, visibly deflated and began to fray. The odious Rees Mogg, (“leader of the house” no less) actually slid down the front bench, looking like a peevish tween who’s been ticked off by nanny. Prime Minister Johnson blustered, fumed and rumpled like a cartoon baddie. You could almost see the steam coming out of his ears and the thought bubble with […]
