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. ...

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

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. ...

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

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

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.

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 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. ...

Pisces is the last sign on the wheel of the Zodiac. Held within its watery depths are the qualities of all the other signs. In this place all that has come before is dissolved to make way for the birth of a new cycle. ...

We stand on the threshold of a deep, dark tunnel, a portal that links one phase of experience to another. Take a moment to reflect on the last five months. Breathe deeply and prepare to enter the tunnel …

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. ...

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. ...

Aquarius – Ptah in the Egyptian pantheon – is the sign of the collective. Leo – allied with Anubis – is the ultimate individual. Ptah is the Creator of Heaven and Earth. He is a visionary who creates through the words that he speaks. He is detached on a personal level, his mind and his heart focused on the needs of the collective. Anubis is perhaps the most human of the Egyptian neteru. Anubis suffers from the pain of abandonment, a major Earth plane experience. In our dualit

Neptune in Aries is going to be very different. Aries is the beginning of a new cycle – new experiences, new energy, a new path. Neptune in Aries will manifest as excitement over a new dream, much as expectant parents fantasize about who their child will be. Aries is allied with Kephera, the morning sun. Every day is a new beginning, full of both potential and uncertainty. ...

A creative force emerged from the black depth of nothingness. This organizing principle was Ptah, Creator of Heaven and Earth. Ptah created the world through words that he spoke, his tongue connected to his heart. When we say, “speak from your heart”, we are resonating with the energy of Ptah. ...

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

The water sign Cancer is associated with family, roots, and home. The Cancer Full Moon often falls during the time when much of the world is celebrating holidays. Folks spend time with family and friends, some traveling to visit loved ones far away. It’s always a mixed bag – the comfort and familiarity of home and family combined with the stressors of expectations often difficult to meet. Emotions run high during the Full Moon and the free flow of emotions is particularly str

In Roman and Greek myth, Chiron is a centaur – half human, half horse. In one story, Chiron’s mother was a nymph raped by a centaur; she gave birth alone in a cave. When she realized her baby was a centaur, she abandoned him in horror. Wood nymphs took pity on Chiron, and every day brought food to the mouth of the cave. Chiron crawled forward, ate the food, and then retreated to the womb of the cave. Eventually he became too big for the cave and crawled out. ...

2026 will bring an abundance of creativity, chaos, and the birth of new ideas. Some of these ideas will flourish and some will not. Not all births survive, and not all change brings us experiences we want. ...
