 Vernal Equinox: Neptune’s tears dim the fire

 Vernal Equinox: Neptune’s tears dim the fire

Hi, Everyone,
 
Today is the kind of a day that I wish I could walk into a big house filled with crystals all throughout the place from top to bottom. I need to cleanse every move. Every thought. The energy is so very sensitive. It it not so much me, as I feel the collective feelings of fatigue. It is hard to get sleep. It is hard to wake up, and it is hard to relax and recharge.
 
It is Thursday, March 16, 2023; but, it could be March 13th or March 20th. The dates will be less significant in a different way during the Epoch of Capricorn in 2020 when you can say the clocks got locked; we got locked inside within an atemporal period in which all of the structures of the world came down completely. Time is no longer suspended, but structure is. Although 2020 was a horrific time, Saturn was in its dignity, and there were a lot of planets transiting in the Cardinal sign of Capricorn, which takes initiative and gets things done.
 
Saturn, the planet of structure, has recently entered the sign of the unstructured. Saturn transits in the mutable water sign of Pisces from March 7, 2023 on and off through February 15, 2026. This is a difficult cycle. This is trying to build dreams out of uncertainty. This is dealing with over three years of loss of life, dreams, and hope. Saturn is no longer in its dignity as it was when it transited in the previous signs of Aquarius and Capricorn.
 
California’s most famous Gold rush began on January 24, 1948. Saturn was at 11 degrees of Pisces at that time. Neptune — the modern ruler of Pisces — was at the final degree of Aquarius. Neptune is the planet, which governs dreams, imagination, fantasy, illusion, and deception. Aquarius represents the future and the infinite. For some, magic did happen! For many, it was not so much those seeking the gold, as it was the merchants selling goods and services to them that earned a profit and saw an immediate call-to-action. Saturn in Pisces could be a search for gold in vain, or it could be a golden opportunity to make your imagination pay the bills!
 
Saturn in Pisces frightens me because many people will feel there are no real obtainable dreams. There will be snake salesmen and saleswomen, charlatans, and frauds preying on people’s misfortunes. There will be great people like Bill Wilson, who formed Alcoholics Anonymous in 1935 during the Great Depression when Saturn was in Pisces during a very desperate and destitute time.
The organization of Alcoholics Anonymous is very symbolic of Saturn in Pisces in that the structure is fluid. There are rules, but there is no leader. Its focus is being of service to those destroyed by alcoholism and addiction. Its premise being of service to newcomers and fellow drunks seeking hope in very dim light.
 
Another time in history I glance upon when Saturn was in Pisces is in the mid 1960s, in which many might argue was one of the best times in music history. Saturn transited in Pisces from March 24, 1964 through May 4, 1967. At the end of 1966, the most popular song of the year was, “California Dreamin” by The Mamas and the Papas. Pisces is the sign of dreams. The second top song was “96 Tears” by ? and The Mysterians. Pisces is a sign of tears and mysteries, and this band’s choice of titles could not encapture that better!
 
Okay, let’s get to where we are because I could just keep sailing, sailing away on Neptune’s seas. Saturn, planet of structure, gives us no break right now as it transits in Pisces and leads us to trust our inner voice and intuition. Saturn was in Aquarius on and off from March 23, 2020 through March 7, 2023, and it is now in the sign of imagination, magic, music, smoke and mirrors, selfless love, saints and sinners. Will the real Miss Cleo please stand up?!
I woke up this morning with a drift of sadness that immediately dissipated once I opened my bedroom window and saw my tree wave to me in a happy and warm soon-to-be-spring day. The Sun met up with Neptune last night, and the fog is thick. California’s floods mirror Heaven’s tears. Mercury, planet of ideas, meets up with Neptune in Pisces on March 16, 2023 at 1:13 pm EDT. This is energy where you can absorb another person’s energy; but, it is also highly intuitive energy if you can only listen to you inner voice. It is sheer beauty in nature, music, and in the poetry of your thoughts.
 
Neptune weeps both for the the souls and dreams that are gone and for those that currently struggle to find light at this moment. Sanctity, solace, spirit, and surrender. These are Pisces keywords that will get you through this next month but also these next few years. This is a time to focus on addiction and mental health. The opiate and Fentanyl crisis are huge. The year did not begin with sober-curious January because people were drowning themselves in Evian water.
 
We have dealt with a catastrophic and tragic time in history that is unprecedented. Pisces is the final sign of the Zodiac, and it is the summation of all of the preceding signs and their karmic lessons, achievements, and loss. Pisces is the twelfth sign of endings. On the higher level, Pisces, is a creative wizard. On the lower level, it is the person, who sells your ten year old child drugs. Pisces is the sign of misfits, miracles, the abandoned, the spiritual, and the groovy! There is a word to resurrect! Who doesn’t want to be groovy in such a sorrowful land? Be groovy and be contagious in spreading the love!
The Sun in Pisces clashes with Mars later at 2:10 pm EDT, and that is a showdown which has been building up for quite a while and one to which we can soon say goodbye. Mars, the planet of war, aggression, and action, retrograded on October 30, 2022 at 25 degrees and 37 minutes of the mutable air sign of Gemini. It went out-of-bounds on October 22, 2022 and is still out-of-bounds, which means that it exceeds the Sun’s path by declination and acts extra wild!
 
Mars in Gemini out-of-bounds has brought a lot of crazy traffic both in literal ways and metaphoric and has been especially hard to focus. It can feel like trying to get something done with ten windows open on your computer. For some, they may constantly have a few open; as long as they get to them. This is has been a time of opening many windows without following through on the substance. It finally leaves Gemini on March 26, 2023 when it enters the cardinal water sign of Cancer. It is technically in its detriment while in Cancer; but, it will slow things down a bit. Too many open windows!
 
Venus is at anaretic degree today at 29 degrees of Aries. Venus is in its detriment in Aries and is very aggressive and on the chase. She clashes with Pluto, the planet of power and elimination on March 16, 2023 at 3:59 pm EDT. This is quite a potent goodbye! There could be major breakups and endings with this Venus/Pluto energy on the brink of the Spring Equinox and in light of so many planetary changes!
 
Pluto enters the fixed air sign of Aquarius on March 23, 2023 and will transit at the very first degree of Aquarius from March 23, 2023 through June 12, 2023 when it returns to the final degrees of Capricorn. This is finishing up the Pluto in Capricorn story that began in January of 2008, and it changed the banking system forever. Pluto will be in Aquarius on and off for 20 years, and that is a HUGE deal!
 
I am currently taking a marketing class with tech professionals and am completely over my head. However, I think it is perfect timing to take a class that makes me stretch and is focused on using technology and marketing to streamline my business further.
 
Whether we like it or not, the Aquarian story is not going away. Saturn and Jupiter both met up on the Winter Solstice on December 20, 2020 at 0 degrees of Aquarius and ushered in the New Age of Aquarius and met up in the sky closer than they had been in over 800 years to usher in a vision for humanity and the collective future.
 
Pluto now sets that story off and helps to evolve it further; but. Pluto will be in Aquarius through January 19, 2044, so it’s just getting the party started! As I take this marketing class, I hear tech professionals talk with glee about the possibilities of Chat GPT and AI and how it can help them with instant speed to accomplish things of which they never had dreamt. As a writer, it is a very frightening concept; yet, the idea of reaching more people and bridging that gap to work with people with whom I would never meet is also exciting.
Can we bridge the disconnected, disjointed, hapless, and hopeless with entering the Pluto in Aquarius era, which will last a very long time! It is important to focus on the individual(s) as much as it is on the collective. We are all replaceable by nature’s laws, but our signature is unique and our needs, our hearts, and our dreams can not be manufactured.
 
Venus, the planet of love, value, resources, and talents, enters the fixed earth sign of Taurus on March 16th at 6:34 pm EDT and transits in Taurus through April 11, 2023. Venus is so sensuous, passionate, creative, and beautiful while in Taurus, which it rules and where it loves to be!
 
On the weekend leading to the Equinox, the Neptunian fog is very thick in spite of all of the Aries energy. Mars is now in its strength and has finally cleared its shadow from 10/30/23; but, it clashes with Mercury, planet of communication, on March 16th at 9:49 pm PDT and on March 17th at 12:49 am EDT. Bear in mind that Mars is out-of-bounds and is over the top! Mars is transiting in a sign, which rules transit so be extra mindful on the roads on the 16th and 17th of March. Also be extra careful with your words and not to speak in an impulsive way.
 
Mercury changes signs and enters the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries on March 18, 2023, where it will transit through April 3, 2023. This brings more fire to the sky! Communication is quick and fast. It helps as we navigate the Neptune fog!
 
The Spring Equinox occurs on March 20, 2023 at 5:24 pm EDT when the Sun enters the cardinal fire sign of Aries, where it will transit through April 20th when there is a Solar Eclipse! The Vernal Equinox is one of two moment of the year when the Sun is exactly above the Equator and is approximately equal day and equal night.
 
This ushers the Spring season in the Northern Hemisphere and the Fall Season in the Southern Hemisphere. When the Sun is in its exaltation and in Aries where it loves to be and at the world point, this is an amazing energetic opportunity to honor what the Astrological year has ahead and what the season has in store for you. Whether it is the day of the Equinox or a day within it, try to do something special to honor the tremendous burst of mojo!
 
This Equinox chart, I cast to Washington DC. The chart has Virgo Ascendant with its ascendant at the world point and its ruler in Aries in the house of healing, transformation, and joint resources. Jupiter, the planet of abundance, is at 16 degrees of Aries in the 8th house of financial partnerships and is conjunct chiron the wounded healer. This is an excellent opportunity to work on Plutonian or Scorpionic issues around intimacy, buried wounds, fears, and blocks. This is also an opportunity to have courage to heal issues around debt and credit. Jupiter is also conjunct Vesta, which represents hearth and home and denotes a sense of security.
Venus is conjunct the North Node of Karma at 4 degrees of the fixed earth sign of Taurus in the house of higher learning, hope, optimism, travel, promotion, publishing, and publicity. Time to promote your work. Time to learn! Time to connect to what makes you happy with Venus in its dignity on the North Node of destiny. That can be a difficult aspect natally, as the Nodes can swallow up Venus; but, use this as a guide to direct you to something of meaning and value.
 
The Moon is in Pisces and is conjunct Neptune in the house of partnerships. Given the big planetary shifts of Saturn and Pluto in the month of March and the Neptunian energy so prominent, a lot of things are dissolving and ending forever. A lot of things are committing and beginning, too! A lot of mourning for the loss, and a lot of doubt towards what lies ahead.
 
There is a New Moon on the following day on March 21, 2023 at 1:23 pm EDT at 0 degrees and 50 minutes of Aries that ushers in a new beginning that we do not quite feel at the time of the Equinox in which loss is very prominent in the Equinox chart; as much as striving for hope and learning.
 
The New Moon in Aries says to be a courageous wounded warrior! This is a time to have courage and move ahead! The New Moon is always a great time to do the Law of Abundance. Take a blank check and date it for March 21, 2023. Where it says, “Pay to the order of, “print your full name. Where you normally print the dollar amount, print, “Paid in Full.” Where you normally sign your name at the bottom of the check, sign it with, “The Law of Abundance.” I wish you much luck! #astrology #horoscope #zodiac

Saturn enters Pisces: Anchor the unimaginable.

Saturn enters Pisces: Anchor the unimaginable.

Hi, Everyone,


As I write this article, Venus and Jupiter are dancing in the fiery and passionate fire sign of Aries. Venus is technically in its detriment while in Aries, as it rules the opposite sign of Libra and can be a bit aggressive in this placement. Nonetheless, it had a meetup with Jupiter, the luckiest planet, at 12 degrees of Aries on 3/1/23 at 9:36 pm PT and on 3/2 at 12:36 am ET.

Aries is a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars. The synergy of the planets encourages you to be brazen about love and what you want. Don’t overdo it, as Venus in Aries really loves the chase.

However, fight for love and take take new steps forward to magnetize desire in a foggy time ahead. With Saturn entering the mysterious and highly emotional sign of Pisces, it can feel like navigating a mystical quagmire, in which you can muster magic; or you can sink.

Neptune is the modern ruler of Pisces. It rules the imagination and the subconscious mind. In order to really manifest, you must tap into that part of your brain and really believe it to be possible.

Neptune’s imagination is infinite and miraculous. Pisces is the sign of dreamers, mystics, musicians, magicians, misfits, and the miracle workers; it is also a sign of escapists, the deluded, the deceivers, and the defeated. It is a sign of self-undoing, and it can represent the con artist at the lowest form. On the highest level, Pisces is a sign of pure and selfless love. Neptune is the higher octave of Venus and can produce unparalleled art.

As Venus and Jupiter share some ambrosia together, we get a brief and bold taste of bliss in a time of sadness. Ahead of us is quite a journey. Saturn, the planet of karma, restrictions, and achievement, is currently transiting at the final degree of Aqurius and is the summation of the past few years of Saturn’s transit in Aquarius, which initially began on 3/23/20 through 7/1/20 and returned on 12/20/20, where it will transit through March 7, 2023 when Saturn changes signs and has its ingress into the mutable water sign of Pisces.

Saturn in Aquarius this past round has been the Saturn Return of the Internet, which began in 1991 when Saturn was at 2 degrees of Aquarius. The World Wide web became public domain on April 30, 1994 when Saturn was transiting at 29 degees of Aquarius, where it is currently transiting. Technology is taking a whole other form, and every business has become more digitized than ever. How you pay and receive money, how you learn, and how small businessess interface has changed immensely in the past three years.

The Saturn Return of the Internet also brings to light how alienated we have all become; how accustomed we are to instant groceries or a car in five minutes. Critifcal thinking gets compromised when every number is saved on your phone, and you no longer have to memorize. The Dewey Decimal sysem sounds like a legal system; but, it is how we once researched books at the library and had to do research on our own.

It has been said before, and I re-emphasize the point in light of the astrology: In the time of the internet and social media, we become closer to those whom we may never have met; yet, we become further alienated from those closest to us. Aquarius represents friendships, community, and networks. It it a reminder not to take your friendships for granted and become alienated on your own spaceship because that could really happen in some form.

Mercury is transiting at the final degrees of Aquarius, where it is brilliant and exalted. Mercury meets up with Saturn on March 2, 2023 at 9:34 am EST at 29 degrees and 22 minutes of Aquarius. This is a time to make decisions. This is a time to reflect on the lessons you have learned or still struggle with in the past few years. While Saturn does change signs and leaves Aquarius; we are in no way done with the Aquarian story. Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth, enters Aquarius on March 23, 2023 and will transit there on and off through January of 2043. Big societal changes and more of a digital revolution ahead of us.

Mercury enters the mutable water sign of Pisces on March 2, 2023 at 5:52 pm EST, where it will transit through March 18/19th, 2023. This is yet another preview for all of us to pay attention to the messages that come up in the next couple of weeks with Mercury, the cosmic messenger and planet of information, transiting in Pisces, where Saturn will be through February 15, 2026. Mercury in Pisces is an excellent time for being creative, journaling, getting more rest, meditatin, and relaxation.

I think of Pisces as a sign of surrendering. As you let yourself unwind more, the psychic and inuititive messages will pour through and to you, as Pisces is the most psychic sign of the zodiac. Pay attention to your inner voice and listen. Songs and dreams have messages now. They come in all forms and not necessarily through words.

Venus meets up with Chiron, the wounded healer, on March 3, 2023 at 13 degrees of Aries — just a degree off from Jupiter, the planet of expansion. This brings up the woundedness and vulnerability around partnerships, but it encourages you to be strong and face your wounds with courage.

It is amazing to write this now, as this is the month of CHANGE! Saturn is less than a week away from entering Pisces, and it will focus so much on mental illness, addiction, depression, and anxiety. Two rounds of Saturn in Pisces that stand out occurred from March 23, 1964 through March 3, 1967. The time before that was February 14, 1935 through January 14, 1938.

Although it did not begin in the mid 1960s, there was a huge musical renaissance going on throughout the 1960’s. The fashion was as fun and wild as the music. It really interplayed in a time, where there was a lot of chaos, upheaval, death, and war. By the mid 1960s, there was a big heroin and drug crisis, which unfortunately and inevitably killed a lot of the magic and people behind it. A lot of loss among young people. Music and spirituality were big tools young people used to get them through that time; as well as sheer creativity.

In 1935, Alcoholic Anonymous was formed during the Great Depression when very little known about addiction, and it was stigmatized as being immoral and was completely misunderstood as being an illness. With Saturn about to enter Pisces these next few years in another sad time in history, there will be more progress in mental health.

There will be a huge focus on music and the performing arts, as this field has suffered so much in the past few years. Neptune and Pisces are so connected to to the arts, as Neptune is the higher octave of Venus. Pisces and music go together; as well as all forms of the arts. You really want to pay attention to songs you hear at a time where something just connects, or you get some insight. Music is a big guide for all in the next few years. I cannot say it will be the 1960s, but I feel a huge revival and revolution with music and all mediums of art.

Saturn enters Pisces, and we will all employ the healing arts much more as a society: developing your intuition, engaging in energy work like reiki; as well as other other forms of healing work, tarot, crystals, dream interpretation, journaling, manifesting, chanting, etc. Music and the arts are key during this time of mutable water; a sense of feeling lost at sea.

Pluto, the planet of transformation, enters 0 degrees of Aquarius from March 23, 2023 through June 10, 2023 when it re-enters Capricorn, which it wraps up for good by beginning of 2024. This will help various artists and performers that have been unable to work to create new ways of reaching audiences and earning money.
Focusing on events in real life with music, arts, and sports is critcal to mental health and supporting the arts.

There will be focus on building community, as long as do not get too carried away with AI and further alienation of critical thinking and HUMAN LIFE! A lot to ponder, as we gear up to Saturn’s ingress into the sign of Pisces on March 7, 2023 at 8:35 am EST. Of course, there will be a Full Moon on that date to add some more drama to the event, but I will cover that at a future time.

Pay attention this week to whom you meet, and the opportunities that emerge. What do you want to plan now that Saturn is changing signs and anchoring another goal? Focus hard and pay attention to what comes up for you this month, as it is a big guide for the next few years of Saturn in Pisces !

New Moon In Pisces: The Magical Mystery Tour Is Coming To Take You Away!

Hi, Everyone,

So much is happening, and it is hard to sit still! The New Moon occurred in Pisces on February 19, 2023 at 11:06 pm PST & on February 20, 2023 at 2:06 am EST at 1 degree and 22 minutes of Pisces. The New Moon is always a time to plant seeds and initiate new beginnings; but, this is a particularly significant New Moon. Next month, we have major planetary shifts with three planets changing signs and The Spring Equinox. Saturn, the cosmic taskmaster, enters the mutable water sign of Pisces on March 7, 2023, where it will tour through February 15, 2026. Saturn initially entered the fixed air sign of Aquarius on March 23, 2020 through July 1, 2020. It resumed its journey on December 17, 2020, where it will transit through March 7th. This has been a very hectic time in what I dubbed the New Age of Aquarius. That occurred on the Winter Solstice of December 20, 2020 when Saturn (the structure) met up with Jupiter (the vision) at the very first degree of Aquarius and closer in th3 sky than they had met in 800 years. This inaugurated The New Age of Aquarius with a vision of unity and humanity. Given the state of the world, it is pretty funny, huh? Actually, it is not. Saturn will take a while to structure that vision of joy, prosperity, and wisdom. It don’t come easy. You know it don’t come easy!

Saturn rules Aquarius in ancient Astrology and represents karmic lessons, restrictions, accountability, and goals. It reminds me of the judgement card. If there are issues in your life that you have been avoiding and need to resolve, the issue will rear its head and make itself known that you HAVE to deal with it. Life is about dealing with problems, challenges, goals, fears, success, love, and joy! It includes everything!

Uranus, the modern ruler of Aquarius and the planet of brilliance and chaos clashed with Saturn in Aquarius three times in 2021. Although Saturn is in its dignity while in Aquarius, it really does not feel very Aquarian to me. There can be an aloofness to Aquarius; but, I equate it more with the Uranian facets reminding me of the quirky and brilliant professor.

Uranus also reminds of a brilliant Taurus I know, whose nickname at his workplace used to be “Instant chaos.” That is Uranus for you! With that said, both of the rulers of Aquarius have been at strife. This make it very difficult to launch the New of Aquarius in its highest ideal.

We are in no way done with the Aquarian story. Saturn exits Aquarius, but we bring the lessons to a whole other level because Pluto, the planet of loss and regeneration, enters the fixed air sign of Aquarius on March 26, 2023, where it will tour for 20 years! Yikes! Where is Rod Sterling to guide us in the journey because society is going to shift in an epic way. Will we still be human at the end?

Technology and social media are not going away any time soon, and all need to uplevel our skills. Our biggest currency since the Epoch of Capricorn is not our materials or our bank account. Our biggest currency is our skills and knowledge. With Pluto’s ingress into the sign of Aquarius, the technology will soar even further.

Where does all of this lead us on this magical but sensitve New Moon in Pisces? Pisces represents the abandoned and forgotten, the artists, the musicians, magicians, misfits, intuitives and empaths. In its highest level, Pisces represents selfess love and healing. Pure intuition and creative wizardry! It is a sign of humility and can also represent prisons, hospitals, and institutions.

On the more challenging level, Pisces can represent mental illness, addition, delusion, deception, and self undoing. Johnny Cash was a Pisces musician, who struggled with addiction and early loss. Love is what healed him and got him straight. He always identified with prisoners and misfits.

When Johnny Cash played at Folsom Prison in Sacramento, California on January 13, 1968, his life was in ruins with addiction, and he had contemplated suicide. That concert and subsequent album changed his career! He got sober, had a lifelong love affair with June Carter and enjoyed a fruitful and amazing career! Love and music saved his life!

There are a lot of people in the arts and in many industries that have really lost their way. Some have lost everything, and some just feel more alienated in this most difficult round of Saturn in Aquarius. The Saturn Return of the internet has proven how it can connect us to people to whom we never would have met; but, sadly, it alienates us from those closest to us. How can we bridge the exciting with the sad? Saturn in Pisces is about utter humility and lack of ego.

Alcoholic Anonymous was founded in 1935 during the Great Depression with the tenets being of service to fellow drunks and newcomers that need help, 12 steps to recovery (Pisces is the 12th sign), anonymity (Pisces is the sign of secrets), and a relationship with God. For many, spirituality has shifted, but faith is what will get you through this time in which it may feel like you cannot anchor what is so amorphous and uncontained. Pisces also represents the ocean. Good luck containing that! But, boy does it make you dream, though!

That is where we want to go! Be of service to those who have lost their way. Meditate, chant, listen to music, pick up an instrument, paint, or write! Indulge your creative side not to be Picasso or Hendrix; but, instead, to be your inner muse! Pisces is the dream! Calling on all of the dreamers and manifestors out there! Let’s dream together. Let’s make some art! Trust your inner voice. Be like the Hierophant and listen within yourself.

The Sun entered Pisces on February 18, 2023, where it will transit through March 20, 2023. Next month will be epic! Pay attention to the situations, lessons, and experiences you have in this time period. Venus, the planet of love, value, and resources, entered Pisces on January 26, 2023 and just exited the sign of Pisces today at 2:06 am EST, when it entered the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries. Record and reflection on what has occured since end of January through this time period.

Saturn is transiting at the final degrees of Aquarius. Pluto is transiting at the final degrees of Capricorn. It will transit in Aquarius through June 11 2023, when it returns to the final degrees of Capricorn. Pluto initially entered Capricorn in 2008 and 2009, in which we experienced the Financial Collapse. There will be a LOT of change, shifts, and realizations, in the following weeks. BIG ENERGY! Keep cool and try to nurture yourself with healthy metaphysical tools and with love.

The New Moon is always a time to plant new seeds. Focus on your dream for the next few years. Have strong intentions and be prepared to manifest in a time of change and uncertainty. Magic and intuition prevail!

The New Moon is a great time to set new intentions! Take a blank check and date it for February 19, 2023 or February 20, 2023. Where it says, “Pay to the order of,” print your full name. Where you typically print the dollar amount, print, “Paid in Full.” At the bottom of the check, sign it with “The Law of Abundance.” This brings in prosperity, abundance, and DREAMS!

On the more challenging level, Pisces can represent mental illness, addition, delusion, deception, and self undoing. Johnny Cash was a Pisces musician, who struggled with addiction and early loss. Love is what healed him and got him straight. He always identified with prisoners and misfits.

When Johnny Cash played at Folsom Prison in Sacramento, California on January 13, 1968, his life was in ruins with addiction, and he had contemplated suicide. That concert and subsequent album changed his career! He got sober, had a lifelong love affair with June Carter and enjoyed a fruitful and amazing career! Love and music saved his life!

There are a lot of people in the arts and in many industries that have really lost their way. Some have lost everything, and some just feel more alienated in this most difficult round of Saturn in Aquarius. The Saturn Return of the internet has proven how it can connect us to people to whom we never would have met; but, sadly, it alienates us from those closest to us. How can we bridge the exciting with the sad? Saturn in Pisces is about utter humility and lack of ego.

Alcoholic Anonymous was founded in 1935 during the Great Depression with the tenets being of service to fellow drunks and newcomers that need help, 12 steps to recovery (Pisces is the 12th sign), anonymity (Pisces is the sign of secrets), and a relationship with God. For many, spirituality has shifted, but faith is what will get you through this time in which it may feel like you cannot anchor what is so amorphous and uncontained. Pisces also represents the ocean. Good luck containing that! But, boy does it make you dream, though!

That is where we want to go! Be of service to those who have lost their way. Meditate, chant, listen to music, pick up an instrument, paint, or write! Indulge your creative side not to be Picasso or Hendrix; but, instead, to be your inner muse! Pisces is the dream! Calling on all of the dreamers and manifestors out there! Let’s dream together. Let’s make some art! Trust your inner voice. Be like the Hierophant and listen within yourself.

The Sun entered Pisces on February 18, 2023, where it will transit through March 20, 2023. Next month will be epic! Pay attention to the situations, lessons, and experiences you have in this time period. Venus, the planet of love, value, and resources, entered Pisces on January 26, 2023 and just exited the sign of Pisces today at 2:06 am EST, when it entered the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries. Record and reflection on what has occured since end of January through this time period.

Saturn is transiting at the final degrees of Aquarius. Pluto is transiting at the final degrees of Capricorn. It will transit in Aquarius through June 11 2023, when it returns to the final degrees of Capricorn. Pluto initially entered Capricorn in 2008 and 2009, in which we experienced the Financial Collapse. There will be a LOT of change, shifts, and realizations, in the following weeks. BIG ENERGY! Keep cool and try to nurture yourself with healthy metaphysical tools and with love.

The New Moon is always a time to plant new seeds. Focus on your dream for the next few years. Have strong intentions and be prepared to manifest in a time of change and uncertainty. Magic and intuition prevail!

The New Moon is a great time to set new intentions! Take a blank check and date it for February 19, 2023 or February 20, 2023. Where it says, “Pay to the order of,” print your full name. Where you typically print the dollar amount, print, “Paid in Full.” At the bottom of the check, sign it with “The Law of Abundance.” This brings in prosperity, abundance, and DREAMS!

Full Moon in Cancer: Soothe my soul

Full Moon in Cancer: Soothe my soul

Hi, Everyone,

I may be a little late to the party; but, you know I’ll always show up with some dessert before the end. The New Year has arrived; yet, it does not feel like it is bursting with beginnings. I can assure you that this year will soon bustle with HUGE change, but it is quite the lackluster beginning. Mars is the planet that propels us forward. Mars is currently still retrograde and dragging at 8 degrees of the sign of Gemini, where is will station direct on January 12, 2023. Hard to work it like a boss when it’s difficult to get out of bed. The sign of Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury, which rules transportation, communication, information, and perspective. This challenges communication, makes it difficult to focus, and can induce very passive/aggressive communication. My Gemini mom was a sweetheart, but she used to play this game with me when I was child where she would knock on my bedroom door and say in a menacing voice, “Ha! Ha! Ha! Hi, Tisch, this is the mean mom.” Then she would close and reopen the door and say in a buttery voice, “Hi, Tisch, this is the nice mom.”

It was very cute, but not every one will be the nice mom with Mars retrograde in Gemini. Them’s fighting words might be me a more apt way to describe what Mars in Gemini can do to communication.

Mars has been transiting in Gemini since August 20, 2022, and it reached its shadow on September 3, 2022 when it got to 8 degrees of Gemini, where it will station on 1/12/23. Reflect on what has been happening for you this entire Mars in Gemini journey. What you were working with in the first weekend of September will take another expression when Mars stations direct. This will enable you to move ahead, redo what went wrong, or move in a new direction altogether! Why not?!

From my own vantage, I find it makes it easier to procrastinate in several areas while Mars retrogrades in Gemini, the sign of duality. Not a good thing and not a great way to begin the year! Mars will station direct on January 12, 2023 at 8 degrees and 8 minute of Gemini. We will feel the buildup five days before and five days afterwards. This amplifies Mars’ energy, and people can be more fiery and explosive.

Mars rules the sign of Aries, where Jupiter recently entered on December 20, 2022. Therefore, Mars now defers to Jupiter in Aries, which will most definitely amplify Mars next week! Mars is also out-of-bounds, which means it does not play by the rules and can be very “extra”. People will be fired up, but they will also be much more ready to move forward. Mars only retrogrades once every two years, so this has not been easy especially in a mutable sign, where you can skate in too many lanes.

Mercury, which rules the sign of Gemini, retrograded on December 29, 2022 at 24 degrees and 20 minutes of the cardinal earth sign of Capricorn. Mercury retrograded close to where Venus, the planet of relationships, values, and earnings, retrograded on December 19, 2021 at 26 degrees of Capricorn. Venus proceeded to meet up three times with Pluto, the planet of death and regeneration, from December of 2021 through March of 2022.

At that end of 2021, there was a surge in Omicron variant. I remember noticing a lot of loss at the very end of 2021 through early 2022 unfortunately. This energy speaks to facing all of the loss we have experienced in this tragic time. Mercury retrogrades close to that point and not far from Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth.

Pluto rules the sign of Scorpio, and it is a sign that does not shy from facing the darkness, loss, and heavy wounds. We began the year of 2023 with Venus conjunct Pluto. Venus is love and happiness. Pluto is death and elimination.

All the love, beauty, and happiness that has been lost in these past few years. Venus/Pluto conjunction in the sign of reality is fundamental indicator of what 2023 has in store. Facing deep, deep wounds. Diving into the dark, murky waters ultimately to wash yourself of the heaviness you have endured. The world of psychology will change immensely in the next few years. Much funding and community will be built around it, so that we will heal and transcend as do shadow work and face dark corners in our psyche that are painful.

With this Mars and Mercury retrograde tone, I am channeling this reading today. These are not just the facts, ma’am. This is intuition. This is Saturn in Pisces, which is around the corner!

Saturn, the planet of karma, structure, and challenges, enters the mutable water sign of Pisces on March 7, 2023, where it will transit on and off through February 15, 2026. Pisces is a sign that is very focused on spirituality, creativity, selfless love, and dreams. The more challenging sign of Pisces is self-undoing, escapism, addiction, and deception.

In the past few years, we have endured tremendous loss. Saturn has been transiting in its home sign for the past years, as it rules Capricorn in Ancient Astrology and Aquarius in Modern Astrology. The sign of Capricorn deals with boundaries and restrictions. Saturn in Aquarius presented the future, which will fly fast and showed us how each of us relied even more on technology and transitioned ways of doing business in a more technical way than ever before.

We also experienced the challenges of Saturn in Aquarius, which deals with community, friends, and connection. In dealing with so much technology and distancing this past few years, people lack, crave, or even resist connection at this time. John Dunne whispers in your ear because he’s kind of tired these days. “No Man is an island, No man stands alone”…

Saturn enters the mutable water sign of Pisces on March 7, 2023, and it will transit in a sign that is the final sign of the zodiac and is a sign that has no boundaries or limits. The organization of AA was formed in 1935 when Saturn was in Pisces. I feel between the alienation and loss, big focus on mental health and addictive over the next few years.

Pluto, the planet of loss, regeneration, and transcendence, enters the fixed air sign of Aquarius on March 24, 2023 at 0 degrees of Aquarius. This is a big degree for all of us because we initiated The New Age of Aquarius in December of 2020. Saturn and Jupiter met up on the Winter Solstice on December 20, 2020. They converged at the very first degree of Aquarius and ushered in a whole new era. Saturn is the structure; Jupiter is the vision. Structuring a vision of the future with others. We have not yet gotten there, but that is the plan.

Pluto sets off that degree from March 24, 2023 through June 11, 2023 as it transits at the very first degree of Aquarius! This is HUGE! Pluto takes 248 years to transit, and it moves two degrees per year. Pluto initially entered the sign of Capricorn in January of 2008. It will transit the final degrees of Capricorn on and off through January 22, 2024 when it leaves Capricorn for good.

Pluto in Aquarius is an epic change for all and will transform so much as to how we interface int the real world and online. So much change in society, and in how we connect. We need to up level how we come together. So much focus on the negative and positive ways that we use and abuse technology and social media; how it impacts our mental health. Convening together again in a time where technology does not replace human hearts. Saturn in Pisces cannot take just remote therapy in lieu of real connection.

The Full Moon in Cancer takes place on January 6, 2023 at 6:08 pm EDT at 16 degrees and 22 minutes of the cardinal water sign of Cancer. The moon is at home in the sign of Cancer, and this focuses on emotional foundation, security, family, and home. The Full Moon is a time of release and culmination. Releasing the blocks to security. Honoring the loss of loved ones. Finding home within in a time of chaos in the New Age of Aquarius.

The Full Moon in Cancer is the first full moon of the year and speaks to getting your needs met. Again, so much focus on mental health and building community. Each of us needs to find a personal route to ensure you receive whatever that means to you, as their individual circuits in the Pisces/Aquarius era! Aquarius is the collective and the individual.

The Moon forms a beautiful sextile to the North Node of Destiny. This is an aspect of opportunity. The North Node transits in Taurus, which wants you to grow things of value in your life. Planting ways to reach your needs.

Uranus, the planet of brilliance and upheaval, is transiting at 15 degrees of Taurus right on the world point, which brings lots of change, realization, and chaos to the collective! It also brings brilliant realizations. The Sun forms a beautiful trine to Uranus. All of this could bring out-of-the-blue opportunities, which are incredible. Brilliant brainstorming and flashes of the future. This Full Moon is great for connections and for doing a ritual to focus on home and emotional security.

The Sun in Capricorn is coupled with Mercury, which is retrograde. They are less than a degree apart. This emphasizes the need to reflect on how what you really need to do to take care of yourself. Jupiter, the luckiest and biggest planet, is transiting close to the world point at 1 degree of Aries, which is a very passionate and action oriented sign. Although the process is delayed, the cosmic bursts are there, and there is so much more to come! Mercury will station direct on January 18, 2023 at 8 degrees and 9 minutes of Capricorn, which is in conjunct to where Mars stations direct on January 12, 2023. Readjusting how we take action with our thoughts! Wishing you much luck and Happy Full Moon! #astrology #horoscope #zodiac

Jupiter wrapping in Pisces: searching for faith

Jupiter wrapping in Pisces: searching for faith

Hi, Everyone,

Jupiter is currently transiting at the final degree of the Zodiac.  Do you feel it?  I bet you do!  Jupiter is the Grand Benefic of the Zodiac.  It expand that with which it comes in to contact.  In Ancient Astrology, Jupiter rules the sign of Pisces, where one can expand through the imagination and magnetize through dreams and the subsconscious mind.  To manifest in a true sense, you must believe it to be possible.  Jupiter in Pisces helps to aid suspension of disbelief. It helps you to plunge into magical, mystical, and mythical oceans. The final degree of the Zodiac is 29 degrees of the mutable water sign of Pisces.  This encapsulates all of the lessons and challenges of the preceding eleven signs of the Zodiac.  Although Jupiter in Pisces is phenomenal at magnetizing sparks of magic, it also expands the desparation, sadness, and despair that some way feel right now.  The Fixed Star known as Scheat is connected with self-undoing and drowning. Jupter changes signs on December 20, 2022. its ingress into the sign of Aries represents unbridled passion, quick inspiration, and sudden ideas.  Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign that is ruled by the planet Mars, which is the planet of action.  Cardinal signs like to launch and catalyze things.  Aries is the very first sign of the Zodiac. Jupiter in Aries not only wants to open the doors; it wants to break the doors down, as its enthusiasm is so hard to contain.

Let’s take cosmic inventory of all that is happening. Jupiter is an outer planet, which changes signs on 12/20/22 and transits in the fire sign of Aries through 5/16/23. Mars, which rules the sign of Aries, is currently retrograde and transiting in the mutable air sign of Gemini, where it can go down many different alleys and lose focus.  Mars in Gemini can represent aggressive communication and distracted focus when others talk. Mars went out-of-bounds as of 10/22/22. This means that Mars exceeds the Sun’s path by declination and is over the top and does not play by the rules!  Mars will be out-of-bounds through 5/5/23.  It will be retrograde through 1/12/23.  Be extra careful on the road and with words. Jupiter in Aries marks such an enthusiastic new chapter, which is much needed.  However, its initation into the sign of Aries is tempered by the fact that Mars is retrograde and delayed; not to mention that it is out-of-bounds and getting 86’d out of every joint in town. Jupiter initially transited in the adventurous and pioneering sign of Aries from 5/10/22 through 10/28/22.  Jupiter will transit in the Cardinal and action oriented sign of Aries through 5/16/23.  This is a time to open up your inner warrior and fight with passion to launch to exciting new beginnings!  Mars will station direct on 1/12/23, and this will help Jupiter’s passion soar even further — particularly since it is out-of-bounds and does not need to be accountable.

Please bear in mind that we all of have been treading in some very emotional seas. Jupiter has been swimming at the end of the Zodiac; thereby opening up both the magic and fear simultaneously. I think the it is excellent that we end the year of 2022 and begin the year of 2023 with Jupiter in Aries because we all need that extra courage after what we have all endured.  Mars has really been a difficult player while in Gemini and kind of slimy given its clash with Neptune and its inability to play by the rules this late fall.  Jupiter in Aries encourages us to embrace beginnings, eat dinner by yourself at a restaurant, and be yourself in a time of confusion, doubt, and disbelief.  How can any of us believe we are where we are right now?  Jupiter in Aries says do not dare surrender to fear!

Jupiter enters the Cardinal fire sign of Aries on 12/20/22 at 9:32 am EDT. I cast the chart for Washington DC, and the chart has its Ascendant at 1 degree of Aquarius, which is interesting because we are finishing up one chapter of the New Age of Aquarius. We began this chapter on 12/20/20 on the Winter Solstice. Jupiter, the planet of hope, optimism, higher learning and big vision met up with  Saturn, which is the planet of structure, karma, responsibility, 0 degrees of Aquarius.  This Ascendant portends hope for future community in a time of alienation.   When Jupiter enters 0 degrees of the Cardinal fire sign fo Aries, it marks a major energy boost.  0 degrees of the Cardinal signs hits each and every one of us and brings enthusiasm to act in a time where it has been so difficult.

The Winter Solstice begins on 12/21/22 at 4:48 pm EDT when the Sun enters the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn.  This is one of two moments of the year when the Sun’s appararent path reaches the maximum or minimium declination. In the Northern Hemisphere, it begins the Winter season and is the shortest day of the year.  In the Southern Hemisphere, it marks the beginning of the Summer season and is the longest day of the year. The Solstice is when the Sun is at the world point and is a cosmic invitation both to reflect upon and take action as to what you want the season ahead to have in store.

On the day of the Solstice, the Sun and Jupiter are both at 0 degrees of Cardinal signs, which are signs that want to make things happen!  0 degrees of any sign is a degree of new beginnings. The fact that the Sun sets off Jupiter, the largest planet, means that new beginnings are happening on a HUGE levell!  For most of the fall, Mars was retrograde, weakened and in conflict with Neptune, planet of delusion and illusion. It was hard to move ahead.  Jupiter in Aries wants you to get on stage!

There is a New Moon that occurs on 12/23/22 at 5:17 am EDT at 1 degree and 32 minute of the Cardinal earth sign of Capricorn, which is highly ambitious and actualizing!  This New Moon also sets off Jupiter within a degree and a half and is conjunct the Solstice.   Another planet that is also at the world point is Uranus, the modern ruler of Aquarius. It is at 15 degrees of the fixed earth sign of Taurus and is on the North Node of Destiny.  It beckons all of us to find value, beauty, and love in new ways and break free from our computers.  We are in the digital age to a level like no other in the New Age of Aquarius.

The New Moon is always a time to planet new seeds and to do the Law of Abundance.  The New Moon occurs on 12/23/22 at 5:17 am EDT at 1 degree and 33 minutes of Capricorn.  This new moon is in company with Jupiter, the planet of good luck!  This new moon wants you to plant new seeds, chant, create a vision board, and magnetize opportunities.

To do the Law of Abundance, take a blank check and date it for 12/23/22.  Where it says “Pay to the order of, ” print your full name.  Where you usually print the dollar amount, print, “Paid in Full.” At the bottom of the check, where you sign your name, print, “The Law of Abundance. I wish you much luck and a Happy New Year! #astrology #horoscope #zodiac

Eclipse Recovery

Eclipse Recovery

Hi, Everyone,

We are all in Eclipse recovery. We are still in Scorpio season for approximately another week. This is a time to face the darkness, eliminate what is no longer serving you, and ascend and uplevel yourself. Scorpio is the sign of death and rebirth.

The recent Eclipses were a Partial Solar Eclipse October 25, 2022 at 2 degrees of the fixed water sign of Scorpio and a Total Lunar Eclipse on November 8, 2022 at 16 degrees and 1 minutes of Taurus. Eclipses are a time of increased pressure, rapdid change, major beginnings and departures. Eclipses can bring dramatic events in a flash that can change your life forever; or they can certainly wake you up to something that changes your perspective on something or someone.

Let’s examine the themes of the recent eclipses. For one thing, a lot of emphasis on relationships of all types, as Venus was exactly conjunct the South Node Eclipse in Scorpio, which is the eighth sign of intimate partnerships. This was a South Node Eclipse, which means there is something that needs to be released. Venus does not like being in the sign of Scorpio, as it is in its detriment.

Passionate and pained, Venus in Scorpio is VERY intense! It was inconjunct Jupiter, the planet of vision and expasion, at the time of the Eclipse. This means that a big readjustment is needed to heal the wounds, loss, and issues with which have not been dealt. It is time to face the darkness, summon your courage, and find strength in surrendering. Sometimes that is your biggest power. Scorpio is a sign of power and control. Your power right now is in your ability to let go.

Letting go of toxic people and patterns. Facing loss and finding the strength to face the darkness. To be comfortable in feeling vulnerable and in fear. There are times at which are are all alone and without power. Face those feelings. Scorpio is so damn emotional and heavy. There is a lot to mourn.

Scorpio itself is a sign of death, rebirth, and transcendence. The Partial Solar Eclipse was a new moon eclipse, but there is still a component of release to this eclipse. New moons usually are a time of new beginnings, but this eclipse had a lot of karmic endings and goodbyes.

Mars, the planet of passion, rage, and direction, is currently out-of-bounds, which means it exceeds the sun’s path and acts out of control. Mars is out-of-bounds from October 22, 2022 through May 5, 2023, which means that people could be more triggered by and reactive to words and communication (Mars in Gemini and out-of-bounds).

It also means that people could be more easily angered and acting more impulsively. The energy of Mars is already heightened by the retrograde. Mars only retrogrades once every two years. Mars retrograded officially on October 30, 2022 at 25 degrees of Gemini. It stations direct on January 12, 2022 at 8 degrees of Gemini. If there are some difficult situations that erupted, there may be an opportunity to redo things once Mars stations direct in January and ultimately clears its shadow at the end of March. Nonetheless, there are undoubtedly departures and heavy karmic occurrences right now.

The Total Lunar Eclipse occurred just a degree off from the world point on November 8, 2022 at 16 degrees and 1 minute of the fixed earth sign of Taurus. This Eclipse packed a real punch, as the nodes of the moon were just three degrees off from the Sun and the Moon. This brings very fated events. A Full moon is more of a time of endings, release, and culmination. However, this was a North Node Eclipse, in which you try to construct something new of beauty and value with the North Node in the sign of Taurus, which is about beauty and nature. Uranus is the planet of chaos and awakening. Finding enlightenment in little moments. Trying to create something new of value.

Both Scorpio and Taurus are signs of money and assets. With the Eclipse in Scorpio, there is a big focus on healing. Venus in Scorpio needs healing and to release the pain she is held within her heart. South Node in Scorpio urges us all to release the pain as much as we can. Pluto, the planet of death, is the modern ruler of Scorpio. There has been so much death in so many forms.

With the Total Lunar Eclipse in Taurus, Uranus was exactly on the Moon in Taurus. Uranus is a lot like Eclipses — it brings situations, news, and people that can our lives forever. Uranus can raise your anxiety, and it can cause a lot of disruption! Uranus represents change. We are meant to go towards the North Node. We are meant to innovate a new future and change. Venus the rules the sign of Taurus. We are meant to try to find some glimpses of beauty and happiness in a world of permanent loss.

Mercury, the planet of news, information, and communication, was at the world point during both Eclipses, which means a lot of important stories, news, and information has been uncovered in our own lives and on the world stage. We continue to process. We continue to heal. Remember that some of the challenges that you are now experiencing with Mars retgrade can be reversed.

Again, there are fated endings and change inevitably with this Eclipse course. However, there are things you can repair. If you feel like you cannot get things done now, Neptune is making it slippery to find solid ground. Keep going. Keep dreaming. Jupiter, the grand benefic, is at 28 degrees of Pisces, which it rules in ancient Astrology. Jupiter in Pisces expands through limitless imagination, compassion, and dreams. Dream, dream, dream.

Saturn is in its final run in Aquarius and stationed direct on October 23, 2022. We felt the buildup five days five and five days afterwards. This added more of a restrictive and karmic tone to this past Lunar Eclipse. Saturn remains in the fixed air sign of Aquarius through March 7, 2023 when it enters the mutable water sign of Pisces. Currently, the two rulers of Pisces are transiting in Pisces: Jupiter, the planet of vision; Neptune, the planet of dreams. The last time, they both met up in Pisces was on March 17, 1856. They met up again this year on April 12, 2022 at 23 degrees of PIsces. Expanding through unbounded love and intuition.

With three planets transiting in the highly perceptive water sign of Scorpio, it is time to listen to your intuition. Trust your perceptions. This is an excellent time to do research and do healing work. Mercury in Scorpio forms a helpful aspect to Pluto, the modern ruler of Scorpio, at 9:27 pm EDT. This helps you to feel empowered in your thinking, and that you can get things done in spite of challenges. The Sun in Scorpio forms a beautiful trine to Neptune, the planet of bliss, at 10:43 pm EDT. Time to dream. The emotions pour and pour, but these are healing waters. This is a time to feel. You cannot ignore it.

Venus, the planet of love, happiness, and beauty, enters the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius on November 16, 2022 at 1:09 am EDT, where it will transit through December 9, 2022. This adds more fun and levity. We are still wading in highly stormy waters, but this adds some needed optimism. Mercury, the planet of perspective, forms a beautiful trine to Jupiter, the luckiest planet, at 10:43 am EDT. This helps to bring more luck to the day!

Mercury changes signs on November 17, 2022 and enters the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius at 3:42 am EDT, where it will transit through December 6, 2022. Mercury is in its detriment in Sagittarius, as it rules the opposite sign of Gemini. However, it still involves seeing the big picture with optimism. This adds more fire and less water to the equation. Fire gives us enthusiasm and optimism.

The Sun forms a helpful aspect to Pluto, the planet of empowerment on Novemer 18, 2022 at 4:36 pm EDT. This is an energy where you can truly heal yourself and act with courage in situations that feel impossible. This brings confidence in self. On November 19, 2022, Mars forms a second square to Neptune, planet of illusion. This can make things seem challenging and confusing. It is excellent for engaging in prayer and spiritual work. It is also good for all forms of chanting, meditation, manifestation, and creative work.

The Sun forms a beautiful trine to Jupiter, the planet of optimism, on November 20, 2022. This is an excellent aspect that helps you to tap into hope and joy. This aspect becomes exact at 11:07 pm EDT. Mars is not playing by the rules, and it is the ancient ruler of Scorpio. The emotional intensity of these eclipses is draining as you process all of the messages and information uncovered. Find strength and joy in rebirthing yourself. Do not give up on dreams or hope!

Solar Eclipse in Scorpio: No night light needed

Solar Eclipse in Scorpio: No night light needed

Hi, Everyone,

This has been such a powerful time for all of us. I have felt Mars retrograde in Gemini way before it has actually retrograded. Mars is what gives us drive, ambition, and courage. Mars in Gemini has felt very scattered to me — particularly since it has been clasing with Neptune for quite a while. Mars in conflict with Neptune feels like you are stuck in the mud. This energy is very much at play as we approach very intense eclipses.

Keep in mind that Mars is the ancient ruler of Scorpio. Pluto is the modern ruler of Scorpio. Pluto is the planet of death, transformation, and rebirth. Mars is squaring Neptune, which means that it makes it even more difficult to take direction and move ahead. Pluto recently stationed direct on October 8, 2022 at 26 degrees and 7 minutes of Capricorn. Look back to last year when Venus retrograded in Capricorn on December 19, 2022 at 26 degrees and 27 minutes of Capricorn. Venus met up with Pluto three times between December of 2021 and March of 2022. This energy focuses on healing loss and love.

There was a beautiful Venus starpoint that occurred on October 22, 2022 at 5:17 pm EDT at 29 degrees and 26 minutes of the Cardinal air sign of Libra. Venus is in its dignity while in Libra. This is a beautiful pairing, where the sun brings light to the heart and mind of Venus. This is an initiating energy focusing on love and value. Right now, it is hard to feel that lovely cosmic invitation because things seem dodgy and confusing with Mars clashing with Neptune. Things seem highly emotional with the upcoming Eclipse in Scorpio. However, do not forget about this beautiful Venus starpoint that squares Pluto, the planet of elimination, and asks you to release your fears and limitations and love without limits.

Venus entered the fixed water sign of Scorpio on October 23, 2022, where it will transit through November 16, 2022. Venus is in its detriment in Scorpio, as it is rules the opposite sign of Taurus. It is passionate in Scorpio, but it is wounded. The Sun enters Scorpio on October 23, 2022 at 6:36 am EDT, where it will tour through November 22, 2022. I neglected to mention that Saturn, the planet of karma and restrictions, stationed direct on October 23, 2022 at 12:07 am EDT at 18 degrees and 35 minutes of the fixed air sign of Aquarius.

We feel the buildup five days before and five days afterwards when an out planet stations. With a Saturn station, it emphasizes the reality of things, and what you need to do. It can make you feel even more stuck in the mud. This is the last station of Saturn in Aquarius, as it leaves the sign of Aquarius on March 7, 2023 and enters the mutable water sign of Pisces. This is wrapping up the story of collapsing of old structures and fixed, rapid change. Trying to bring some kind of structure to madness and genius. This has tested a lot of friendships and connections. Some are gone forever. Some have been forged in the sadness. Some have been re-established. Saturn challenges wherever it transits, and friendships and connections have been a big focus while in Aquarius, as it rules friends and groups.

Now, we are in Scorpio season, and the partial Solar Eclipse occurs on October 25, 2022 at 6:49 am EDT at 2 degrees and 00 minutes of the fixed water sign of Scorpio. This is a South Node Eclipse, which means that is somethinat you need to release. Scorpio’s main ruler is Pluto, which is the planet of death and purging. A new moon Eclipse is a time to set new intentions and planet new seeds, but there are inevitably endings while in Scorpio.
Scorpio is a very intense and emotional sign. Mars is inconjunct Pluto, which means that there is a needed adjustment. The two rulers of Scorpio need to adjust. Mars is clashing with Neptune, which hypes up the emotional and directionless tone to this Eclipse season. It can feel difficult to find your power in the storm. How do you keep your strength?

How do you find courage with so much loss? Where is the joy? The Venus Starpoint reminds us that there is a lot of beauty, love, and happiness still available to us. We need to honor the loss, but love prevails. Venus, the planet of love and money, is only 39 minutes away from this New Moon Eclipse, which is very close. Venus on the Solar Eclipse in Scorpio emphasizes the need for the love and the inherent wounds and fear that everyone now shares.

Focus on what you need to transform in your life. Focus on the attachments that are not healthy. Look to the Uranus/North Node conjunction in Taurus, which speaks to new ways of creating happiness, love, money, and value in your life. New connections, friendships, and networking.

Relationships are a huge theme this fall, and this Venus/South Node Eclipse in Scorpio reminds you to keep your heart open to love in light of pain and suffering. Time to have courage and time to live. Mercury initially retrograded in the sign of Libra, which is the sign of relationships. The Venus Starpoint occurred at the final degree of Libra, which is ruled by Venus. The starpoint squares Pluto, which necessitates facing the darkness to connect to love. It requires facing the wounds. Saturn squares the nodes of fate, and there are very karmic endings, beginnings, and decisions that are being made now. This Eclipse asks that you surrender to your feelings.

Full Moon in Aries: How do you find your courage?

Full Moon in Aries: How do you find your courage?

Hi, Everyone,

This is another big week for all of us. On October 2nd, 2022, Mercury stationed direct at 24 degrees and 11 minutes of the sign of Virgo. As of September 9th, there were six planets retrograde, which is very unusual. Mercury is a personal planet, which rules local environment, communication, transportation, words, and thoughts.

Mars is also a personal planet, which retrogrades only once every two years. Mars represents our passion, rage, and drive to move ahead. It entered its shadow on August 20, 2022 when it reached 8 degrees of Gemini, which is the degree at which it will station direct on January 12, 2022. Mars in its shadow brought more of a retrograde tone, as it is moving very slowly and is transiting in the mutable air sign of Gemini, which is ruled by Mercury. For many, there have been glitches or issues with computers and cars. Many have heard from former clients, coworkers, friends, and old paramours with Mercury intitally retrograding in the sign of relationships — Libra.

It stills feels hard to move ahead. Mercury stationed direct with an opposition to Neptune, the planet of dreams, mysticism, psychic intuition, delusion, fantasy, and deceit. Mercury does not technically clear its shadow until October 17, 2022 when it reaches 8 degrees and 8 minutes of the Cardinal air sign of Libra.

The Neptune haze is very potent this fall. Let me try to break this down to the best of my ability. Neptune has been a major player for the majority of this fall. Mercury initially opposed Neptune, the planet of imagination and confusion, on August 21, 2022. This is incidentally a day after Mars, the planet of drive and action, entered its shadow period and reached 8 degrees and 8 minutes of the sign of Gemini, which is where it will station in early/mid January.

In Virgo season, The Sun in Virgo opposed Neptune on September 16, 2022. When planets or the lights of the chart oppose Neptune, there can be very murky and nebulous energy. Things can also be brought to light, and the cosmic blinders can get removed. Venus, the planet of partnerships and values, opposed Neptune on September 24, 2022.

Mercury initially retrograded in the Cardinal air sign of Libra, and reassessing, reconsidering, and returning to relationships has been a big theme this fall. It returned to the Mutable earth sign of Virgo on September 23, 2022, and this brought more emphasis on re-evaluating habits, work, and health.

Mars is slowing down and will retrograde at the end of October. If there is something really significant and important you wish to launch, try to do so before Mars officially retrogrades on October 30, 2022 at 25 degrees and 37 minutes of Gemini. Mars is now squaring and setting off Neptune, which is about trusting your intuition in your actions. The square becomes exact on October 11, 2022; but, they are already making it seem like running through mud in many different direcitons.

This theme is prevalent all fall, as Mercury set off Neptune when it stationed direct on October 2, 2022, and Mars will set it off in its station retrograde at the very same degree on 10/30/22. Neptune is a bit like the Hierophant card, in that you need to let your intuition guide and listen to your inner voice.

Mars in Gemini activates the mind. One one hand, it can be excellent for doing writing projects, networking, public speaking, taking classes, learning, and marketing and sales. On the other hand, Gemini is a mutable sign, where your mind can sway in many different directions, and it is hard to take action(mars) to organize your thoughts.

With Mars in Gemini through March 26, 2023, you can be impulsive and sometimes harsh in your words. Mars retrograde in Gemini is a great opportunity to rethink how you communicate, and how you can improve your learning skills. More importantly, how do you uplevel your ability to listen, which is crucial in communication.

Venus is now traveling behind the Sun and meets up exactly with the Sun on October 22, 2022 to form a Superior conjunction at 29 degrees and 26 minutes of the Venus ruled sign of Libra! This is a day to circle in your calendar. It is a bit like a full moon/culmination energy as it brings culmination to things you may have started or planted when Venus and the Sun met up while Venus was retrograde in Capricorn on 1/8/22 at 18 degrees of Capricorn.

I view this as an initating energy in a Cardinal sign, which initiates action. It is the first time since the 1870s that Venus and the Sun met up in Libra. Venus is in its dignity in Libra and loves being in this sign, so it makes it extra special and adds to the Venusian magic. This is a big deal and an excellent time to do a ritual that speaks to you to magnetize what you want, love, and value.

You have that to which to look forward, as you navigate a choppy and dramatic week! Pluto, the planet of drama, intensity, birth, death, and transformation, stations direct on October 8, 2022 at 5:56 pm EDT at 26 degrees and 6 minutes of the Cardinal earth sign of Capricorn.

We feel the buildup five days before and five days afterwards. Pluto is the modern ruler of Scorpio and the higher octave of Mars. When Pluto stations, it is at its most potent. Pluto already is the planet of power, and this brings it up a few notches. This can cause major earthquakes, tornadoes, and departures — metaphoric and literal. This is very aggressive energy, and it can escalate war and power struggles.

Putin is threatening to use nuclear weapons in his war in the Ukraine. On October 4, 2022, North Korea fired dangerous missiles over Japan. This is a week of major shifts and big events. Add to that fact that we are less than six months away from completing the New Age of Aquarius.

The two rulers of Aquarius are in conflict: Saturn and Uranus. Saturn is the ancient ruler of Aquarius and is the planet of limitations, karmic lessons, and people in authority. Saturn transits in Aquarius through March 7, 2023. Uranus is the modern ruler of Aquarius and is the planet of freedom, ingenuity, enlightenment, and disruption.

The two planets are not very compatible and bring a lot of collapsing of old structures and old ways. The synergy of these two planets together also makes it difficult to structure the new vision and ingenuity that has been brewing and erupting in the past couple of years. Saturn and Uranus had three exact hits in 2021, and this has been a very erratic and unpredictable time in history. The two have had another round, which became exact on October 1, 2022 and will be exact through October 12, 2022. They are fighting through the beginning of January, but it is most acute right now.

On October 9, 2022, there is a Full Moon that occurs at 4:55 pm EDT at 16 degrees and 32 minutes of the Cardinal fire sign of Aries. Mars rules the passionate and tempestuous sign of Aries and is currently in its shadow with a challenging square to Neptune, which can diminish its strength and focus. Procrastation can take another level with this Mars/Neptune influence especially when the mind can roam so freely while Mars transits in Gemini.

I cast the Full Moon chart for Washington DC, and it has Pisces Rising, which means that Neptune is the ruler of the chart. Jupiter is the ancient ruler. Mercury is in the seventh house of partnerships with a wide opposition to Neptune, which means that there can be confusion in partnerships. This can be very manifesting energy.

Neptune is the higher octave of Venus and is very romantic and spiritual; but, this Full Moon could bring clarity on relationships where something or someone is in the dark. Jupiter remains in the sign of Aries through October 28, 2022 when it briefly dips back into Pisces through December 20, 2022. In the Full moon chart, Jupiter is in Aries in the first house of self in an out-of-sign opposition to Mercury, which is in its dignity in Virgo in the house of relationships.

This Full Moon in Aries implores you to find your courage through the mind, learning, and engaging in positive thinking to believe in your self-preservation. Mercury in Virgo formed a beautiful angle to Pluto on October 6, 2022, and this is the third and final hit as Mercury is now direct. Your mind is your biggest strength and power. In Capricorn, it is your biggest currency, so time to get moving even with heavy retrograde emphasis. Time to learn.

Venus is in its rulership in Libra and is dancing with the Sun — both in the house of relationships. The Sun and Venus both form a helpful aspect to Saturn, planet of stability, and this helps to bring structure to what you love. They are also incompatible with Uranus and the North Node of Karma, so adjustment and reality checks are going to be difficult but needed in this full moon chart.

With the Pluto station, there can be much empowerment. Some have really dug into whatever lessons or insights this retrograde Fall has provided. In relationships where people are on the same vibration, this has been an opportunity to deepen things and bring them to another level. The reality is that there will inevitably be endings with the Sun and Venus in the Libra house of relationships opposite the Full Moon and Chiron, the wounded healer.

Use this as an chance to find your power to face the wounds that Chiron digs up but to connect with courage with the Full Moon in the Mars ruled sign of Aries so closely linked to Chiron, the wounded healer. Physician, heal thyself. Write down or imagine things you want to release. Burn palo santo or sage to clear your environment and your unconscious thinking. Aries is a fire sign. Burning a candle might be a good ritual to merge with your passion to face the big Mars retrograde story ahead. I wish you much luck! #fullmoon #astrology #horoscope

Equinox of Balance and Love in the Cosmic Storm

Equinox of Balance and Love in the Cosmic Storm

Hi, Everyone,

Today is the day of the Equinox, which is one of two times of the year when the sun crosses the celestial equator. The day is approximately equal day and equal night. In this case, the Sun enters the Cardinal air sign of Libra. When the Sun enters 0 degrees of the Cardinal signs, it initiates a season of new beginnings. Libra is a sign that is centered relationships, harmony, and balance. Today’s Equinox occurs at 9:04 pm EDT.

The Equinox is an excellent opportunity to assess the season ahead and how to work with it best. In the Northern Hemisphere, it is the beginning of the Fall season. In the Southern Hemisphere, it is the beginning of the Spring season.

The Moon in Leo went void earlier this morning at 7:07 am EDT with an opposition to Saturn, the planet of blocks and delays. The moon is void all day until early in the morning on the 23rd, so it can feel like there are delays in getting this season going! It is not surprising because when the moon is void, things can get canceled, rescheduled, or delayed. It is like a mini mercury retrograde.

There are currently six planets retrograde, which is very unusual. One of which is Mercury, the planet of communication, transportation, and learning. Mars, the planet of action, is currently in its shadow in the mutable air sign of Gemini, which is also ruled by the planet Mercury. Mars is slowing down a lot and will retrograde on October 30, 2022 at 25 degrees and 37 minutes of Gemini with a confusing square to Neptune.

With all of this said, the Equinox is a big opportunity to reconsider and reapply your learning, how you connect with others, and how you partner with your community and with your mind.
I cast the chart for Washington DC, and the chart has Taurus Ascendant approximately at 17 degrees of Taurus. Uranus, the planet of the unexpected, unusual, chaos, and enlightenment is within a degree of the Ascendant.

The North Node of Karma is still only within two degrees of Uranus inviting all of us to get out of comfort zone and innovate new security, skills, resources, and beauty. What may have been completely out of orbit or foreign to you at one time may very well be what you now call home.

Uranus does not like being in Taurus, as Taurus is a very fixed sign that is resistant to change. Time to turn and face the strange. Listen to David Bowie sing into your ear. As much as we are in the New Age of Aquarius, I feel the Uranus/North Node pairing in Taurus has brought this era of constant chaos to a whole other level. If we can strive to see the beauty in the change and face what we need to do to embrace the changes, we will ascend!

Venus, which rules the Equinox chart is currently at its fall position in Virgo. It makes a beautiful angle to Uranus, the planet of invention; as well as the Ascendant, angle of self. Venus also forms a beautiful trine to Pluto, the planet of transformation and empowerment, and this is a lucky flow of compatibility between the two planets.

Venus forms a strong opposition to Neptune, the planet of dreams, imagination, and delusion. Love and happiness are not an unrealistic; but, you need to work hard on your dreams and sense of self in the process with Venus in Virgo.
There are four points in the house of fun, creativity, and love: The Moon in Leo, which is about connecting to the heart; Venus, the planet of love and beauty; The Sun, which represents ego and self; Mercury, which is the planet of communication, at the world point in Libra. This energy beckons you to love without abandon — even with its imperfections and obstacles.

On September 23, 2022, Mercury returns to the mutable earth sign of Virgo, which is a sign it rules and where it loves to be. Mercury will ultimately station direct on October 2, 2022 at 24 degrees of Virgo with an opposition to Neptune. This makes things seem dim and without direction; but, the dream is what guides you in the fog.

Venus opposes Neptune on September 24, 2022 at 4:51 am EDT. Some relationships may get dissolved. I have heard so much about challenges in relationships, and this is a season where you want to be extra mindful about jumping to conclusions. It is certain that some things are being brought to light with so many oppositions to Neptune occurring; Mars setting of Neptune later in October. This is a time to reinforce yourself against self doubt and find self value in uncertainty.

There is a New Moon that occurs very close to the Equinox on September 25, 2022 at 5:55 pm EDT at 2 degrees and 49 minutes of the Cardinal air sign of Libra. I cast the New Moon for Washington DC, and it has Pisces Rising at 7 degrees of Pisces, which is at the world point.

A potent new moon that wants you to dream! The Sun and Moon are close to the world point and to the Equinox. Venus, Mercury, the Sun, and Moon all fall in the seventh house of relationships. There is an initiating energy around partnerships.

Keep in mind that Mercury initially retrograded on September 9th at 8 degrees of Libra, so partnships have been the theme since the beginning of Mercury retrograde. Venus rules the New Moon in Libra. It is still in beautiful harmony with both Uranus and Pluto showing that change and upleveling of love and value are the theme.

Venus still opposes Neptune and asks you to dismiss your fears and love without limits in a world that craves connection. Some relationships will not stand the test of this fall. Some will deepen and connect further. You have to risk to gain. The heart is fragile, but you already knew that. Neptune is the ruler of this New Moon chart and asks you again to remember the dream(s).

The New Moon is an excellent time to planet new seeds and focus on goals you wish to launch. Relationship goals of many kinds are appropriate for this Libra season of love. The New Moon is an excellent time to do the Law of Abundance to magnetize opportunities, open windows, and bring in all forms of abundance.

Take a blank check and date it for September 25, 2022. Where it says, “Pay to the order of, ” print your full name. Where you normally print out the dollar amount, print, “Paid In Full.” At the bottom of the check, sign it, “The Law of Abundance.” I wish you much happiness!
