journey with more joy!
There is one configuration that I didn't discuss yesterday, along with the particular underlying aspect that helps create it. I was aware of the configuration, and familiar with the aspect, but hadn't ever looked into it enough to even learn its name. I have decided to use the chart for the exact moment the sun… Continue reading Quincunx and the Pythagorean Triangle
Yesterday, at 4:01 pm CDT, the sun entered Leo, which simultaneously activated a number of aspects. Studying this chart alone could fill two or three semesters of Astrology. If we focus on the basic red and blue lines, we find 2 oppositions (180o), 3 squares (90o), 5 trines (120o), and 4 sextiles (60o). When we… Continue reading In like a Lion
Saturday night, while out in the country, we got to see all five visible planets and the Moon-Mercury conjunction. We even caught a few satellites and a meteor. Last night, I hit the roof (left) to see the Moon-Venus conjunction and caught the bats flying overhead. [If you look closely at the picture below/right, you'll… Continue reading Jupiter Turning the Tides
This weekend includes some optimal viewing I thought I would share. This morning, I woke early and went out onto the roof at about 6 am. The sun rises in Austin today at 6:38 am, so dawn had already begun. Mars shined so bright in the southwest sky, I felt as if I could reach… Continue reading Weekend Viewing July 14-15 2018
Peruse the chart above. It is a snapshot of a few minutes ago (in Austin). Depending on your focus, you'll see one geometric shape and then another. Focus on the blue. Do you see it? Yes, we have two Grand Trines! The Water Trine is releasing, now that the sun has passed the center of… Continue reading Two Grand Trines
The eclipse season is upon us and this time there are three! Last summer, it was all U.S. They even called that total solar eclipse "The Great American Eclipse." And it was fantastic. It was magical. It was life changing. This year, the main event is a lunar eclipse. The Full Moon in Aquarius on… Continue reading Sights and Shadows
The Law of Attraction, in Abraham and Esther’s words, says “That which is like unto itself is drawn.” That means every person I meet is reflecting some aspect of me back to me. We share a (pattern of) thought, or an emotion, or a vibration, or a desire. It then occurred to me today that… Continue reading Reflection
In my previous post, I wrote about the Astrology brewing for the summer: the big stuff (as in the background vibrations created by the Gas Giants) and the poignant stuff (the eclipses). This post is about things closer to home (the inner planets) and closer to now (Solstice and the next few days). Today is… Continue reading Solstice Alignments
The summer of 2018 is going to be a memorable season, Astrologically speaking. The exact center of summer is when the sun reaches 15o Leo and that occurs on August 7th. At that time, all four of the Gas Giants will be playing key roles within two trines: Jupiter will be applying trine to Neptune… Continue reading Summer of ‘18

Cultivate: To promote or foster the growth or development of; to develop or improve; to enrich a situation by giving special attention to it. If we equate seeking to a journey, it starts with… Continue reading Turn Seeking into Cultivating
