In Roman mythology, Mercury – Hermes to the Greeks - is the messenger to the gods. Mercury is able to instantly transport himself from one location to another, and his task is to carry messages to and from the gods of Mount Olympos. The Egyptian ally of Mercury is Thoth, the creator of language and writing; tools we humans use for communication. He is also the creator of time; our dimensional reality is created by the interrelationship of time, perception, and ...

The energy of Saturn is strong at this time. Saturn is stationary, in his last pass of this cycle in watery Pisces. For the last 7 months Saturn has been conjunct to Neptune, ruler of Pisces, and now both are back in Pisces. This revisit is important. Pisces is about the nebulous world of emotions. Saturn is not really happy in Pisces, but he has a job to do here – creating a solid container for Neptunian dreams and visions, even as Neptune is dissolving away all the structur

One day, the Eye of Ra became angry. She left Ra’s presence and, in her form as a Lioness, roamed alone through the desert. Ra sent emissaries to find her, eager for her return. She refused them all. Eventually Thoth convinced her to return. He promised her temples and festivals in her honor. There would be music, drunkenness, and sex in the streets. Sekhmet agreed to return. She returned in her form as Hathor; the cow who represents the sensual female. The separation between

This New Moon is defined by a same-degree conjunction with Mercury; all three (Sun/Moon/Mercury) are opposite Uranus. Scorpio is a sign that digs deep under the surface to find the truth. Throughout this Moon month, long-denied truths will surface from deep within our subconscious; many of these truths will be shocking and disruptive to our established perceptions of reality. ...

The expression of a planet is particularly strong when it is stationary and preparing to change direction. Jupiter is stationary opposite Pluto, the planet of endings and beginnings. The desire for expansion is being opposed by the death/rebirth process. Pluto is allied with Osiris, the Lord of Regeneration, and Horus is his son. Horus is born through death; his father is killed and brought back to life by his consort Isis, who uses her magic to reanimate Osiris and unite wit

Mercury is associated with thought, memory, and communication. The ancient Romans considered Mercury (Hermes to the Greeks) to be the messenger to the gods. He was depicted as a young man with wings on his heels and on his helmet. Mercury was able to transport himself from one locality to another in an instant. To the Egyptians, he is Thoth, Creator of Language, Writing, and Time. Thoth is the creator of third dimensional reality and, as we develop as a species, he will help

In traditional astrology, Uranus is the Great Awakener, associated with sudden, unpredictable change. In the Egyptian pantheon, Uranus is allied with Wadjet, the Cobra Kundalini goddess, also called the Great Awakener. Wadjet breaks through blocks to the free flow of life force energy. If you have experienced a kundalini awakening, you have met the Lady Wadjet. If you work with the tarot, this is The Tower card. A building collapses, throwing people to their deaths below. Ura

The last six months have been dominated by an “Easy Trine” involving Uranus, Neptune/ Saturn, and Pluto. At this Full Moon, Mars has stepped into the equation through a second Easy Trine with Pluto and Saturn/Neptune and a Grand Trine with Saturn/Neptune and Jupiter (a Kite). That’s a lot of flowing energy - movement that is consequential and hugely transformative. ...

Scorpio natives are passionate, intense, and naturally intuitive. They are born with a built-in bullshit detector. These are the detectives of the Zodiac, diving deep to discover the truth. In relationships, they long to escape the confinement of their own body and merge with the desired one; hence the association of this water sign with sexuality. While Scorpio is comfortable in the underworld realms, hidden in their shadow are wounds that make it difficult to trust. Fear of

The water sign Pisces is ruled by Neptune, and this sign and ruling planet are like two peas in a pod. Both are associated with higher spirituality, intuition, inspiration, and also confusion and delusion. Neptune in Pisces has brought plenty of all. Neptune is now moving into Aries; a transition happening in stages. This present movement back into Pisces is a revisit for Neptune, and it is important. ...

A Grand Cross describes a balance of power that can become a stalemate, and a New Moon prominent in a Grand Cross suggests that this pattern is going to be at the forefront of our collective attention over the next month. This Grand Cross holds an element of danger. Pluto - Lord of the Underworld, God of Death and Rebirth - is newly direct. Jupiter opposite Pluto suggests that the conflict is going to heighten and expand. ...

October 13, 2025:  Pluto Direct at Aquarius 1°22’, 10:54 pm EDT.   In Roman mythology, Pluto (Hades to the Greeks) is the Lord of the...

This is the first Full Moon after the eclipse portal, the beginning of a new phase of experience. The freedom to experience newness – new places, people, expressions - is prized by Aries. Relationships require negotiation which confines personal freedom. Aries does not like compromise; Libra cannot exist without it. How can one be truly oneself and also be in relationship with others? ...

The Equinoxes are both a moment of balance between opposites and also the commencement of a transition. On the Wheel of the Zodiac, the movement from Pisces to Aries (March) describes the birth of the individual out of the primordial sea. The transition from Virgo to Libra (September) refers to the desire of the fully formed individual for relationship with another. ...

To speak a bit of astrologese: The eclipse point is opposite to the on-going Saturn/Neptune conjunction. It forms a conjunction to Mercury in Libra, and the three together (Sun/Moon/Mercury) form a Grand Trine with Pluto and Uranus, and a Kite pattern with Saturn/Neptune. There are two Yode formations – one with Mars in a Yode with Uranus and Saturn/Neptune – the other with Venus in a Yode with Pluto and Neptune. Mars is also part of a loose Grand Cross with Pluto, Eris/Chir

This weekend we are moving into an eclipse portal with a Pisces Full Moon Lunar Eclipse. In two weeks – September 21 – we will exit the portal with a Virgo New Moon Solar Eclipse. Eclipses always come in pairs – sometimes three – and describe a transition from one phase of experience to another. ...

Virgo is the last of the six signs of the Zodiac that describe the growth of the individual. Aries desires to exist, Taurus grounds that desire in physical form, Gemini thinks about it, Cancer integrates these three phases, with the result being Leo - a whole and complete individual. Then Virgo – ever the perfectionist – cleans up the loose ends. A realignment here, a fluff up there, and – presto! – we have a being ready to enter into a relationship with another (Libra). ...

This first Virgo New Moon (there will be two) initiates the buildup to a new phase of experience. The Full Moon of this cycle (September 7) will be a Lunar Eclipse and will open the portal that will lead to the new phase. Our present phase of experience began on March 29 and ends with this New Moon. ...

Mercury retrograde is the most recognized of all the astrological transits. Missed connections, misunderstandings, delays, and breakdowns abound during Mercury retrograde periods. If you have points in your chart directly affected by a Mercury retrograde period, you’re definitely going to notice. If this is all you notice, however, you’re missing the opportunity. ...

Full Moons tend to come with an emotional crescendo and this one is no exception. It features two very powerful planetary patterns. First, a Kite (a Grand Trine with a spine down the middle). This formation describes a cooperative flow between the relevant players. Noted astrologer Monte Farber calls this the Bad Boy Trine – three very powerful archetypes working together - for ill or for good. They are Mars (Set) – the Warrior, Uranus (Wadjet) – the Shatterer, and Pluto (Osi
