As life continues to change and evolve, we’re put into our own individual position of either hanging on to what we know is stable – or to let go and flow (Pisces in Mars). To try and do both – to control AND and to surrender – would require intense juggling, as we would be challenged to […]

Gemini New Moon: Grownups at the Table
In the same way I can hum certain songs from my youth without recalling more than a snippet of the lyrics, I could not tell you what the adults at that table spoke about. It didn’t matter to me in the least. It just mattered that the voices I loved were swirling around me like a protective cloud. It meant that the grownups were on the scene, and I was safe.
The post Gemini New Moon: Grownups at the Table appeared first on Big Sky Astrology with April Kent.
Documenting Donald Trump’s Lies: Do Americans Care About the Truth? with Guest Daniel Dale
Recently I caught a TV interview with Toronto Star’s Daniel Dale and was encouraged by the thought that someone objective was keeping such close tabs on the many lies of prevaricator Donald Trump. Other journalists are doing so as well, of course, but I do like the cut of Mr. Dale’s jib.Yet after all, it isn’t as if multiple astrologers hadn’t warned over and over about Trump’s unfitness for

Making A Way for Acceptance | Astrology Horoscope
Hello there friends. It’s been an active November with Uranus (awakenings, change, evolution) retrograde shifting from steady Taurus back on November 6, to re-enter pioneering Aries for the rest of the year. Unexpected changes, breakdowns and possible breakthroughs are bound to occur in the areas where we thought we were strong, stable and comfortably settled. After a year […]
October 24th, 2018: Juno Returns to Taurus

Juno Rx re-enters Taurus
After her brief Gemini ingress (starting on September 29th) Juno Rx has now returned to Taurus. This is a shift from multiple, flexible choices and info (Gemini) to to a fixed focus on what’s already known (Taurus).
Juno is about contracts and relationship agreements. In Gemini, there was something new to consider (a new agreement, a new angle to an existing agreement, a new partnership). But when she stationed Rx at 0 deg Gemini (October 12th) there were questions and revisions required. What was new was not quite acceptable, so now we go back to a safer, more certain place. Juno in Taurus is the absolute commitment and focus on material security.
But Juno will be Rx until December 23rd, so what’s known/safe will also be up for revision. Perhaps a key resource (money?) needs to be reviewed before the new options can be implemented.
As Juno retrogrades back through Taurus (she will station direct at 20 deg) consider what you thought was a sure thing. There’s a set part of a contract that requires your attention, and this may refer back to September 28th. It could be solid, or maybe something has to change.
Juno will re-enter Gemini on February 10th, 2019, and the new agreement can move forward.
Fear Of The Dark
Hi friends! We’re still being led into an overwhelming amount of darkness as powerful Sun leaves harmonizing Libra on Tuesday, October 23, to join Mercury, Venus and Jupiter in the transformative realm of Scorpio. During the next four weeks, some of us will be quite fixed and comfortable in the darkness with our ‘big’ little […]

Juno stations retrograde in Gemini (0 deg)
Sun/Pluto
We see themes from the October 8th New Moon in the square between Pluto and the Libra Sun. Sun/Pluto is an aspect of power, but the tension of the square means it’s expressed discordantly. There is an intensified push for control/dominance based on the fear of being controlled/dominated. You may experience this as an extreme imbalance between you and another (one person has all the power).
In Libra, the surface vibe may be quite polite and “nice” but Pluto’s shadow suggests something darker behind the scenes. Watch for passive-aggressive or indirect expressions of power. If the situation feels “off” you’re not just imagining it. Consider where the anxiety might be coming from and if there’s any way you can correct that imbalance.
Mercury/Saturn
Mercury is nicely stabilized by Saturn. Conversations and realizations will be quiet and serious. Nothing dramatic here, just the certainty that you can rely on what you discover or hear. Saturn’s rules/focus can help you stay grounded if there’s a risk of becoming overwhelmed by the depth of Scorpio-flavoured information.
This aspect can help with the crisis of the Sun/Pluto square – stay calm, focus on what you’re uncovering or what feels deeply honest.
Juno
Mercury rules Gemini, and this is where Juno Rx is. As noted in this post, Juno (agreements, contracts) has only recently entered the sign of choices and new information. New agreements or partnership choices are being questioned already, but Mercury/Saturn suggests a calm, rational approach even as you peer underneath.
This takes us back to Sun/Pluto: Libra is the sign of relationships, so there’s hint that the power crisis will be connected to Juno’s Rx (questioning the new agreement).
