Tough Against The Wind, Taurus New Moon, Mercury Retrograde

Through transformation of the recent Scorpion Full Moon, we’ve become unleashed and unlimited with Mars in Gemini. In this new breath for life, we’ve entered a fresh sense of freedom. And through all of the hustle and bustle, we still haven’t quite found (or settled) into what we were looking for. All this time, space and opportunity – yet seemingly, we dont seem […]

Generating Multiple Shortcuts, Mars enters Gemini

Mars enters Gemini. Mars made an exit from immovable Taurus on Monday May 11, and entered unlimited Gemini. During the next six weeks we’ll fly through somes up and downs to take us where we’re going, crossing paths of blustery currents and quick jerky movements. Move with plenty flexibility, because reaching goals can be more challenging as we push […]

Appreciation Through Compassion and Care, Venus enters Cancer

Venus enters Cancer. Venus will move from unattainable Gemini on Thursday May 7, and enter the compassionate, loving waters of Cancer. In this slippery shift during the next four weeks, our values will begin to change. What matters most; like principles, standards, love, relationships and money will slowly reshape.. morphing into something that is a bit more sensitive, personable and supportive. […]

Facing Demons by Living Strong, Pluto Retrograde, Taurus Sun

Taurus Sun. Sun (ego, identity) joins Mercury (thoughts, communications) and Mars (energy, desire) in grounded Taurus on Monday, April 20. In the next four weeks, we’ll be led onto more stable terrains, where we can live a more appreciative and productive life. We’re attracting beauty and potential to build and manifest a better quality of living. As we rebuild […]

In Pursuit of Believing Again, Jupiter Stations Direct

A bit of a cosmic tilt was experienced from last month’s energetic aspects of the Uranus/Pluto square and the solar/lunar eclipses. Mars also shifted from the fiery speed of Aries, into steady Taurus, which is currently encouraging patience, determination and real ‘oomph’ from our creative efforts. And as we pave strong, secure grounds to get where we’re going this time, we’re also restructuring our reality and moral standards into something durable with Saturn retrograde.

Joy, Pleasure, Happiness and Chocolate

As you tuck into your Easter egg this morning, you may want to as yourself  this: what is the difference between joy and pleasure? This week I listened to the writer Anthony Seldon talking on the radio, distinguishing between pleasure, which we might get from eating chocolate, happiness which we might get from sharing chocolate with friends, and joy which is transcendant. (He starts at around 24 minutes). Accordingly, pleasure is a passing thing, where some of us get stuck: eating another chocolate bar, reading another trashy magazine. You might associate that with the sign Taurus, the most sensual of […]

Libra Full Moon Eclipse: Force Majeure

In the Swedish movie Force Majeure, Ebba, Tomas and their children are vacationing in the Alps one morning when, while sitting at breakfast on the viewing deck, a controlled avalanche gets a little too close for comfort. Tomas reassures everyone that it is not heading for their breakfast table but Ebba is not so sure. Indeed the blustery mayhem […]
