It will be a very busy day on the Harvest Moon (Full Moon) of Friday, September 13—which you may notice is also Friday the 13th! 

In addition to the superstition associated with Friday the 13th, the planets will be forming a tense T-square in the sky (2 square angles or 3/4 of a grand cross) under this Full Moon. This portends the feeling of being at a crossroads. Or, if you don’t feel at a crossroads, you may feel you are missing a piece of information, so you cannot necessarily move forward or back. You may feel temporarily stuck.

The New Moon in Leo occurs on Wednesday, July 31, just 46 minutes before Mercury completes its retrograde cycle. With Mercury in Cancer in retrograde at the moment of the Leo New Moon (8:12 pm PDT/11:12 pm EDT), this celestial line-up portends delays in communication—either in delivering communication, receiving communication, or formulating an idea or expressing an idea. It will be important to have patience!

The New Moon in Aries on April 5 will shine the cosmic spotlight on…YOU!

The interesting twist on the normally self-oriented Aries New Moon is that it forms a perfect square angle with the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Capricorn (January 5, 2019). 

Have you ever been in a difficult situation or circumstance where you can’t necessarily explain why, but you feel like it’s a natural process that for some strange reason just needs to happen and so you’re ok with it?  This is a great way of explaining the nature of the energy of what is happening in the sky this week.  There are a couple of different factors to explain here to understand why this is the case.  There are some things that I have been discussing for awhile that have been ongoing—such as Saturn conjunct Ketu and Mercury being retrograde.  There is also some

Rarely does a full moon fall twice in a row in one astrological sign as will be the case this spring! The first Libra Full Moon falls on the same day as the Spring Equinox when the Sun enters Aries on March 20, 2019.The second Libra Full Moon occurs on April 19, 2019, the last day of Aries, just 24 hours before the Sun enters Taurus. Again, Full Moons generally occur in sequential order. So, after the Libra Full Moon, generally the Scorpio Full Moon comes next.

Mercury and Venus are two planets whose energies works together to help us in our ability to make decisions.  In the zodiac, they are never too far apart as their orbits are closer to the Sun.  Very often, in fact, they are in the same sign and conjunct.  At times it seems like they are inseparable and their energies are very synergistic towards each other.  In Vedic Astrology, they are known to be mutual friends towards each other which means that each’s natural characteristics and qualities complements those of the other.  Now let’s look at how they work together.

Upcoming Eclipse on January 20^th – 21^st

Wait - What’s Going On?

It is a busy time for Capricorn, indeed, and there are no signs of slowing down either.  In fact, we just had a partial solar eclipse involving the signs of Capricorn and Cancer last week.  This week we have Mercury entering into Capricorn to join the crowd of Sun, Saturn, and Ketu.  With Mercury joining the fray it adds another dimension to the ongoing theme I’ve been discussing.  Being that we have a full solar eclipse looming in the coming weeks, I’ll

Planetary Transits and Cosmic Interplayfor the week of Nov 18–24

The gist of the cosmic interplay this week is that of parsing out purpose from distraction.  Astrologically speaking, we have Sun joining Jupiter and Mercury in the sign of Sagittarius.  Let’s explore the specificities of this situation and how these placements lend themselves towards creating this energy.

The November Full Moon in Gemini arrives hours after the Sun moves from intense Scorpio to uplifting Sagittarius on Thursday, November 22.
