This solar eclipse is the last in a series that have fallen in Capricorn and Cancer since July 2009, traveling alongside some difficult planetary configurations. Eclipses herald change, and many of us have found ourselves careening from crisis to crisis – insecure about access to life’s essentials, flapping our wings in perturbation, frantically looking for ways to make ourselves feel safe, and to bend the world to our will. Kicking back and letting nature take its course has not felt like an option. But as with all eclipses, this one is part of a larger story…

The July 1 “Diamond” Eclipse: Push back
Saturn’s your personal coach, kicking your ass all the way to the finish line. When he’s done with you, you’ll be huddled in a corner, weeping – or else stronger and more glittering than you ever imagined you could be.
The Cave and the Arrow: Chiron Beyond The Wound (Part Two)
We have to talk about Chiron in terms of desire, and Mars, because desire IS the wound. We desire what we feel we will never receive or achieve in Chiron’s house. It hurts because we want it so badly. Whatever it is will validate us, and if we had that thing, we would become […]
Deadline Disaster…and Saturn Direct
I have forcibly removed myself from social networking today…and will do so again tomorrow.
Why? I have deadlines for 5 documents (2 project plans, 3 sets of minutes for 3 different projects I am currently juggling, an Implementation Plan & a …

Saturn Direct 12 June 2011: Get Off of My Cloud!

Saturn Goes Direct in Libra
By special request…. Responsibilities and boundaries (Saturn) in relationships (Libra) are being tested while Saturn is retrograde. Anytime a planet is retrograde there’s an emphasis on going back to re-do or concentrate. It’s hard wo…
The Progressed Moon/Transiting Saturn Cycle in Synastry (Part Two)
Something interesting starts happening at the age of 28, when we have our Progressed Lunar Returns. There can begin, though it doesn’t always happen, a strange split in the psyche, where, in a man, the feeling side of his life, the anima, will be more difficult to own and will therefore be lived out through […]
The Progressed Moon/Transiting Saturn Cycle in Synastry (Part One)
One of the things that is often trickiest to get a hold of when you study progressions is the inter-relationship between the progressed chart and the natal. For example, if a progressed planet is making an aspect to another progressed planet, how do you interpret that progression in relation to the natal chart? On the […]
