Mercury Retrograde

This Mercury retrograde period is in Leo; the sign associated with individual expression. Leo is the sign of the ego – our sense of personal sovereignty and self-esteem. A healthy ego is a good thing; we need self-esteem in order to direct our lives in the way we want. An overdeveloped ego can be problematic; we can experience difficulties in our relationships. In Shamanic Egyptian Astrology, Leo is allied with Anubis in his expression as the abandoned child. In order to fulf

Saturn Stationary

In Roman myth Saturn (Cronos to the Greeks) is an elder, father to Jupiter and his siblings. Saturn is afraid of the nascent power of his children and so he swallows them whole. In this myth we find the defining characteristic of Saturn – a focus on maintaining the status quo. Change is anathema to Saturn. This is the reptilian brain, the part of us that believes change is a threat. The struggle between hanging on to something that is familiar and therefore safe, and stepping

Capricorn Full Moon

Moon in Capricorn is not an emotionally expressive position. Earthy Capricorn is ruled by Saturn and likes the clarity that comes with structure and control. Both Capricorn and it’s opposite in the Zodiac - the highly empathic and emotional Cancer – are associated with the concerns of the family.

Neptune Stationary, Turning Retrograde.

Neptune is the planet of intuition, imagination, cosmic consciousness, and higher spirituality. In its shadow, Neptune is illusion, confusion and delusion. In the Egyptian pantheon, Neptune is allied with Nephthys, Keeper of the Mysteries Behind the Veils. Nephthys is the sister of Isis, consort of Set, lover of Osiris, mother of Anubis. She is a complicated figure – a lunar goddess of magic and mystery, both loyal and a betrayer. ...

Solstice; Sun enters Cancer

The Solstices mark the extremes of the relationship between the Earth and the Sun. In June, the Northen Hemisphere of the Earth is closest to the Sun, resulting in long days and short nights. The reverse is true in the Southern Hemisphere; the south is farthest from the Sun, producing short days and long nights. Our dance with the Sun is influenced by where we are on the planet, a reality worthy of contemplation...

June 13, 2025: Cosmic Shifts and Shadows

Adding fuel to the fire is a square from Mars in Leo to Uranus in Taurus. Mars/Uranus transits are always powerful – the energy of this warrior is wildly unpredictable – and are associated with explosions of all kinds, ranging from bombs to volcanic eruptions, both literally and metaphorically.

Sagittarius Full Moon

Sagittarius is a warrior sign. In traditional astrology, Sagittarius represents the philosophical ideals a society is built upon; these are the values the collective is willing to defend. This is Sekhmet in Egyptian myth, the lion-headed goddess who embodies the yang feminine. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the principle of expansion, and is allied with Horus, the Young King. The Sagittarius Full Moon is often intense with all the fiery aspects of this sign in full display.

Jupiter enters Cancer

In traditional astrology, Jupiter is the principle of expansion. In Shamanic Egyptian Astrology, Jupiter is The Young King Horus, son of Osiris and Isis and inheritor of the crown. Horus is the initiator of the New Aeon, birthed out of the death of the old. New energy is inherently energetic and often chaotic; a quality associated with The Young King. ...

COSMIC SHIFTS: Saturn Enters Aries

COSMIC SHIFTS: Saturn conjunct Neptune.

A defining feature of this summer involves three of the outer planets transiting into new signs. Saturn and Neptune in Aries and Uranus in Gemini. This is a temporary situation; all three will retrograde back into the previous signs until next year. These planetary changes - along with Pluto now firmly in Aquarius - reflect a substantive shift in our collective experience and this summer will give us a taste of what is to come. ...

Sun in Gemini

Gemini represents the awakening mind and curiosity is it’s hallmark. Gemini is the hummingbird sign. These natives flit from idea to idea and are naturally drawn to a variety of experiences. Curiosity is both a gift and a lesson; life is a dance for these individuals and boredom is deadly to their natural creativity. ...

Pluto Retrograde

In Greek and Roman myth, Pluto (Hades to the Greeks) is the Lord of the Underworld, the realm of the dead. The Greeks and Romans did not have a concept of heaven, although later in their culture the Greeks invented the Elysian Fields, a heaven-like afterworld for their heroes. Access to the Elysium was eventually extended to the especially virtuous; lesser mortals were fated to wander for eternity through the darkness and shadows of The Under...

Sun enters Taurus

Second sign of the Zodiac and the first earth sign, Taurus grounds the desire of Aries in physical matter. Those with Taurus strong in their chart are centered in their bodies. These are the mechanics, sculptors, gardeners, dancers and yoga practitioners of our world. They seek to understand reality through their bodies. They love comfort, good food, a nice massage. Their sense of touch is important to them; they reach out and touch people and things, so as to know who and wh
