Thoughts on the astrology of the remainder of 2020
Current events from an astrological perspective: Black lives suddenly matter, and other news
One thing we might be wondering right now is why the time is suddenly ripe for the US to embrace the Black Lives Matter movement. Marches to protest the murder of George Floyd by the police (represented by Capricorn – the structural foundations of society) have spread like wildfire around the world. Even Mitt Romney […]
Pluto turns retrograde, beginning a major year of retrograde activity

What IS unusual is that this year we will have between five and seven planets retrograde for five months. About […]

The astrology of 2020: What can we expect?
Before we can look ahead, we need to understand the past. As many of you already know, Pluto left expansive Sagittarius for restrictive Capricorn in 2008, beginning a domino effect that crashed financial markets around the world and punctured bubbles of false optimism that was keeping financial and economic systems afloat. Between 2010 and 2017, […]
