Sagittarius Full Moon

Sagittarius is the ninth sign on the wheel of the Zodiac and plays a central role in the development of the collective. This fire sign addresses the philosophical underpinnings of society. Those with Sagittarius strong in their personality are interested in the values upon which society is built. These values guide their actions in life. Lying in the shadow is zealotry; where philosophical curiosity hardens into dogma. When dogma is combined with rage to enforce values, great

Sun in Gemini

In Shamanic Egyptian Astrology, Gemini is allied with the Great Sphinx of Egypt. The symbolism of the Sphinx revolves around the bringing together of two very different beings. This is a comment on the nature of duality, the defining aspect of this dimensional reality. We humans are a synthesis of logic and emotions, expressed in the Great Sphinx as a merger of human and animal. The relationship between our emotions and our mind is a driving force for us, both within ourselve

Taurus New Moon

The earth sign Taurus grounds the life force energy of Aries in matter. In Egyptian myth, Taurus is allied with Hathor; the original Great Goddess, fecund and generative. Those with Taurus strong in their chart are naturally concerned with the matter of life. They care about resources – their bodies, money, objects, consistent thoughts and practical reality. Taurus can be acquisitive and can have difficulty releasing what is no longer useful. ...

Pluto turns Retrograde

To ancient peoples, Pluto was a much-feared character. In Greek and Roman myth Pluto is the Lord of the Underworld, the realm of deceased souls. In Egyptian myth, Pluto is aligned with Osiris, the Lord of Regeneration. In a hugely traumatic series of events, Osiris is murdered by his brother. He is brought back to life by his consort, Isis, only to die again. Out of his death, a son is born. Eventually this son - Horus - will ascend to his father’s throne and initiate a New A

Scorpio Full Moon

Full Moons describe a crescendo of emotional energy; the Scorpio Full Moon marks the apex of this cycle. Scorpio is emotionally intense with a primitive, feral quality to its expression. This water sign is associated with the underbelly of human expression, drawn to experiences that others find challenging. In the Egyptian pantheon, this is the Cat Goddess Bast. The temples of Bast were home to the Sacred Sexual Priestesses of ancient Egypt. The ruler of Scorpio is Pluto, Lor

Uranus Enters Gemini

Uranus is one of the three generational planets, all harbingers of change. Uranian change is unpredictable, sudden, and life changing. These are the accidents that change our lives, the eruptions and explosions that redefine the land, and the ah ha moments that inspire new directions. ...

Sun in Taurus

In Hathor’s temples the feminine mysteries were ritualized. Festivals featuring music, dancing, drinking and sensuality, including sexual rituals celebrating fertility, were frequent. In her temples, Hathor was depicted as a sensual woman with the ears of a cow, her totem. Through the ages, the name Hathor has come to be associated with luxurious pleasure and a deep appreciation of the generative process. ...

Aries New Moon

This New Moon features a tight conjunction to Chiron, The Wounded Healer, suggesting that there are opportunities for healing around The Warrior archetype. Warriors are expected to be protectors, initiators, and they are expected to win. They are required to be divorced from their emotions in a way that can lead to a lack of compassion and empathy. ...

Libra Full Moon

The Libra Full Moon initiates an emotional crescendo around the I/Thou relationship. The balance – or struggle - between one viewpoint and another. It is ironic that this sign, which so longs for relationship and harmony with others, is also associated with the use of force. ...

Sun in Aries

Those with Aries strong in their chart are often seen as aggressive and competitive while, in truth, these individuals simply want the freedom to experience life to the fullest. They hold strong within them the same determined life force that inspires a seedling to break out of its casing, the chick to break through the egg, the baby to move through the birth canal. They are containers for the fire of life and, at their best, they inspire and ignite others with their vibrant

Equinox and Mercury Direct

The Equinox is a special time, a place of perfect balance between dark and light. All Earthlings, no matter where we live, experience an equal number of hours of night and day. For a brief time, we are not in opposition and duality is resolved. ...

Pisces New Moon

In Shamanic Egyptian Astrology, the water sign Pisces is allied with Sothis, the Greek name for the star Sirius. The ancient Egyptians believed Sirius was their home; where they had come from and where they would return when their time on Earth was complete. Both the sign Pisces and the archetype Sothis are associated with the concept of planetary service. This is the bodhisattva; the soul who purposefully incarnates on Earth because they wish all to be blessed by their stron

Jupiter Stationary Direct

When a planet is stationary, it’s influence is strong. The “shock and awe” current attack on Iran by combined US and Israeli forces is reflected in this Jupiter station. The two men at the forefront of this war, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, share commonalities in their two charts. Both have strong natal Jupiters in relationship to Jupiter’s present station. Trump’s Jupiter is in Libra in a square to Jupiter’s current position in Cancer, and Netanyahu’s Capricorn Jupit

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse

Virgo is the last sign of the first half of the Zodiac Wheel. The focus of this earth sign is the perfection of the individual so that they might better enter into relationship. Pisces is the last sign of the second half of the Wheel. This is about dissolving the collective so something new can be born out of the primordial sea. Virgo reflects the focused clarity of mind; Pisces is the amorphous cloud of emotions. In its shadow, Virgo is judgmental; Pisces is simply confused.

Mercury Retrograde in Pisces

This Mercury retrograde period is in the water sign Pisces, which will invite us to examine the relationship between our mind and our emotions. Watery energy abounds. The Pisces Sun is in a trine – a flowing relationship - to the Cancer Moon. Jupiter in Cancer is trine to Venus and Mercury in Pisces. And the Easy Trine formed by Uranus, Neptune/Saturn, and Pluto remains in effect. We are in the portal between two eclipses, a natural time for introspection and spiritual connec

Saturn Conjunct Neptune

Saturn and Neptune are not natural allies; they struggle against one another. Neptune creates beautiful new visions of change; Saturn resists their implementation. Saturn wants to hold a strong container; Neptune dissolves that container away. They are contradictory energies in relationship with each other. The result is the feeling that our visions are strong but elusive. We feel trapped in oppressive energy that does not support activating our visions. ...

Saturn Enters Aries

In Shamanic Egyptian Astrology, Saturn is allied with Sobek, The Old King. Sobek is the Crocodile God, associated with fertility, protection, and the Nile River. In Roman myth, Saturn is Father Time. In Greek myth, he is Kronos, the father who was so afraid his children would usurp his power, he swallowed them whole. In a modern interpretation, this is our reptilian brain that is focused on survival. This part of our psyche views change as a threat that is best avoided. ...

Uranus Stationary Direct

Wadjet - the Cobra Kundalini Queen - dances, writhes, and spins, working her way up our spine while crashing through blocks to the free flow of life force energy. Wadjet is life force. She is sexual, sensual, pushing, probing, insistent and determined. Life force will not be denied, and if something needs to be broken in response to her insistent urging, so be it. Wadjet will break it. ...
