New Moon in Taurus today welcomes Uranus entering Taurus after a 7 year journey in Aries (3.5 hrs after New Moon exact). Uranus will travel through Taurus until 2026. So this New Moon is not only a new Moon cycle, but also a new Uranus cycle. One that will take us over half way into the next decade. Uranus in Aries (March 2011-May 2018) was about stepping into your own power or at least awakening to it. Discovering our inner leader and courage. Some of us may have even over

Today and the beginning of this coming week I’ll be posting on Chiron. Chiron is transiting out of Pisces (Feb. 8, 2011 to April 18, 2018) and into Aries (April 18, 2018 to April 14, 2027), bringing a shift in consciousness relating to inner wounds and healing. Here, I will look at Chiron’s mythology, astronomical definition, and brief astrological meaning. In Greek mythology, Chiron was a Centaur and the son of the Titan Cronus (Saturn) and rejected at birth by his mother (a

New Moon in Aries at 26 degrees on Sunday, April 15. Igniting energy surrounding this New Moon. Mercury will go direct in Aries about 12 hours earlier.

Aries initiates, wants independence, and charges through challenges. New Moons are about planting seeds and new intentions. Uranus is about surprises, br

Tonight Mercury will go retrograde until April 15. Mercury Rx, yes, can make plans, communications, and travel wonky. However while it’s good to know when it is occurring, it can become the astrological equivalent of “the devil made me do it”. We mustn’t scapegoat it. But how can we use the retrograde energy to help, heal, and to our advantage? Aries energy is so full of gusto and we can easily overextend, overreact, and overlook details. Mercury Retrograde in Aries, whil

New Moon in Pisces at 26 degrees (Tropical Zodiac) tomorrow, March 17, 2018. The Sun traveling through the last of the 12 signs, signals the ending of an astrological year. And we are about to begin a new cycle with the Spring Equinox on March 20th when the Sun enters Aries. A New Moon is its own ending and beginning cycle too. In Pisces all the other signs are meld into one—the collective unconscious—the all of the All. Which can explain why Piscean energy can feel overwhe

Full Moon in Aries later today at 11:40 am PDT/2:40 pm EDT. “Who am I? When all the labels and layers are peeled off?” Each of us needs a healthy sense of self in order to have healthy relationships. The Full Moon in Aries wants us to explore the shadow aspects within ourselves to illuminate the shadows in our relationships in order to progress as individuals and with others. Shadow aspects are not strictly negative either, but reviewing the “I vs. We” can help to balance o
