Capricorn New Moon

2026 opened with a strong emphasis on the earth sign Capricorn. Since the beginning of January, the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars have all been moving through Capricorn and in an opposition to Jupiter in Cancer. The energetic feel of this alignment is reminiscent of early Covid – late 2019 through 2020 – when Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto were in a powerful conjunction in Capricorn. During that transit, circumstances conspired to energetically dismantle the established structure

Sun in Virgo

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). ...

Mercury Direct

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. ...

Aquarius Full Moon

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

Chiron Retrograde

Chiron is something of an odd duck. In 1977 astronomers discovered a small object between the orbits of Saturn and Uranus. Astronomers could not agree on exactly what this object was. An asteroid? A comet caught in solar orbit? Other such objects were discovered and a new category of solar system objects was created called Centaurs – small bodies similar to asteroids in size but with the composition of a comet. Half asteroid; half comet. ...

Leo New Moon

There is a symbiotic relationship between the Moon and Mercury. The Moon is about emotions; Mercury is about thoughts. Emotions affect our thinking. Our thoughts affect our emotions. These two parts of our being interrelate and merge within us – so much so that it is hard to separate them. Mercury retrograde in Leo invites us to examine the state of our personal ego: How do we regard ourselves? What is our level of self-esteem? What is our self-talk? ...

Sun in Leo

In Shamanic Egyptian Astrology, the fire sign Leo is aligned with Anubis in his youth. Anubis is the son of Nephthys; her husband is Set, the Warrior King. His father is Osiris, husband to Isis (Nephthys’ twin sister) and brother to Set. The conception of Anubis is the result of a deception; Osiris believes he is making love to his wife, when really his lover is her ...

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. Cancer provides the nurturance children need while Capricorn provides the safe container. ...

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. ...

Cancer New Moon

This New Moon provides an opportunity for contemplation of the Cancerian concerns of home, family, safety, and security. This year’s Cancer New Moon is conjunct to Jupiter; Jupiter expands everything it comes in contact with. It also forms a challenging relationship – a square – to the on-going Saturn/Neptune conjunction in Aries...

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

Saturn and Jupiter form a polarity; Jupiter is expansion and Saturn is contraction. In old time astrology, aspects and transits of Saturn were regarded with dismay. Saturn is associated with oppressive circumstances and while it is true that influences from Saturn are not always pleasant, they are necessary. ...

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. ...
