There’s a volatile mix of influences coming up. Much will be released, but at the same time, new limits will be put in place. Venus in Scorpio Square Jupiter in Leo November 7th to 9th sees a bold … Continue reading →

Work Your Scorpio
On the heels of the current sextile-fest, things will start to get bumpy. But it’s cool, because we’re in Scorpio season. Scorpio thrives on difficulties. November 2nd to 3rd sees a soothing trine between Venus in Scorpio and Chiron Rx R…
Get Out of Your Own Way
The next few days are about opportunistic flow. Venus (love, money, self-esteem) in Scorpio trines Neptune Rx (at 4 degrees Pisces) from October 26th to 27th, and the Sun in Scorpio trines Neptune from October 27th to 28th. A smooth … Continue re…
Scorpio Solar Eclipse: Sparks
We’re reminded at the Scorpio New Moon how easily accidents, illness, and murderers can take our bodies, at any moment. Eventually, the body will die – there’s no controlling that. But remember, too, that life isn’t a body. Life doesn’t disappear just because it takes a form we no longer recognize….
Aries Lunar Eclipse: Rights, Grievances, and Relating
This Lunar Eclipse is at the Moon’s South Node, symbolizing the need to release old patterns; in order for relationships to work, each partner has to be willing to let go of having their own way…. This demands some complex algebra to calculate whether or not that is a sacrifice that we’re prepared to make, or even capable of making—and whether the relationship has earned such a sacrifice….
Full Moon Eclipse in Aries: Giddy Release
The October 8th Full Moon eclipse (at 15 degrees Aries) conjuncts Uranus Rx (at 14 degrees Aries). This will be an ending and a detonation. Uranus is the abrupt bringer of clarity. The shocker and the shaker. I’m thinking … Continue …
Strategize For The Next Few Days
The next few days will offer up some bumps, but nothing you can’t handle. October 2nd to 3rd features a misleading inconjunct between Venus in Libra and Neptune Rx at 5 degrees Pisces. This is relationship misdirection. Roma…
Lurking Shadows | Mercury Retrograde, October Tarotscope
Venus enters Libra. Venus, the planet which rules our values, love and money, changes signs on Monday September 29. Venus will remove the stuffy gray uniform that was necessary during her visit in detail-oriented Virgo, where we counted every measly pe…
Islamic State
At the Astrological Association annual chinwag a few weekends ago, the astrologer Geoffrey Cornelius, author of The Moment of Astrology, showed a chart for Islamic State, the group claiming hegemony across northern Syria and Iraq. His reasoning for this chart was convincing, (the founding of the Caliphate was timed to coincide with the beginning of Ramadan), and the chart itself is really powerful. Here it is. I wrote about Pluto in my previous post about open enemies. You can see here that this chart is dominated by Pluto, first it is on the Ascendant — and then it rules […]

Astrology of Now: Open Enemies
Walk into Libra’s garden, the seventh house of the chart, and you will find yourself in a bower of sweet scented roses, treading on forget-me-nots, violas, love-in-the-mist. You might stroll down a lover’s walk through dripping wisteria to a summerhouse by a romantic lake. The seventh house is where you meet your match. But oh, we know our match is not always what we expected or wanted. It turns out to be not a lover, but an adversary, a rival, a competitor. This is the garden of partnership, but it is also called the house of “open enemies” — a delicious irony and a delicate insight into the […]
