Dear friends, Thank you for your attention and kind words over the years as we wrote about the astrological tides. It’s been a huge part of my life and growth as an astrologer and a human being. I’ve loved every minute of it. But the time has come for us to take a much-needed sabbatical as other areas of our lives ramp up. I welcome …

Get ready for a zoom-zoom, June. With all the personal planets on the move in the signs they rule, it’s time to get rolling, flirting and launching. Keep Chance the Rapper’s 2016 “Blessings” song on repeat all summer long; “When the praises go up, the blessings come down”, and get a move on because we are going from ground to airborne in a matter of …

May promises to be a wild ride as the reins break loose with eclipses and retrogrades.  Make the most of the excitement Taurus-style and keep your feet on the ground among all the delicious beauty of Spring. Now that the spiritual reset of the historic Jupiter/Neptune alignment in April has passed, it’s time to sweep the stardust from your eyes. How has your worldview changed? …

Hope springs eternal in April. A rare union of big-picture Jupiter and inspiring Neptune in Pisces takes flight in a dream machine mid-month. Cast your most treasured visions aloft but stay grounded for the best results.  As April opens in the midst of dynamic Aries season and all the planets are in forward motion, we find ourselves feeling a youthful enthusiasm. Our vim and vigor …

Hope surfaces amid momentous waves of change.     As historic events roil the world, the gentle waters of Pisces awaken the power of collective compassion and shared humanity.  A fateful new moon on the 2nd in the compassionate sign of the Fish kicks off the month with a flood of emotion. Amid the onslaught of images of a brutal invasion halfway around the world, we’re buoyed …

February winds of change rush in, and finally the year gets rolling.  It’s full steam ahead as Mercury shifts into forward gear, joining the rest of the heavens, and we feel the motivation to take a calculated risk. If your January felt as slow as molasses with both Venus and Mercury stalled out in the sign of the status quo, this month is going to …

Pragmatism and hope mingle amid standstills, as we greet the New Year. In the season of industrious Capricorn, we’re urged to make plans while jolly ol’ Jupiter splashes in Pisces’ waters, lifting our spirits in the thick of Venus and Mercury reversals. A new moon in practical Capricorn kicks off 2022 with an invitation to plan and prepare for a future that’s intended to last. …

As a chapter closes along with 2021, aim for a new direction.  A total eclipse on the 4th signals both an end and a beginning; then values-conscious Venus slows down later in the month, providing time to consider what’s worth taking on the voyage.   Another dynamic month, December begins with a visionary new moon/solar eclipse, bidding us to embed our ideals into the draft of …

Buckle up folks, November’s turbulence may sting but proves pivotal. A cluster of cosmic activity in intense Scorpio, coupled with powerful planetary clashes mid-month and a lunar eclipse, amounts to one potent passage this month. With the majority of the planets moving full steam ahead, the month’s bound to be a dynamic one. Consider embodying Scorpio’s more esoteric and ancient symbol, the eagle, as effort …

Connecting with new and old friends this month is key to moving forward. The trick of October is how to work with Mercury’s backward spin. The treat is an adventurous Venus buoying our spirits. Even in a heavy retrograde period (six planets, including Mercury), the sign of the Scales, Libra, always brings opportunities to embody the fine art of balance. As the summer sun sets …

Find joy in the little things. Small actions add up this month. And keep this Zen proverb in mind: Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water; after enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. Virgo season asks us to mindfully tidy up our spaces, organize our calendars and tend to the details of our daily necessities with devotion. As the summer winds down, the movements of …

Summer fun reigns until duty calls this month.  Take the time to breathe and play before digging back into work and filling up your calendar with to-dos. Midsummer marks a halfway point in an intense, turbulent, and still chaotic year. With the Sun in Leo for most of the month, it’s time for a much-needed break, levity, play and most of all a time for …
