Last night, I got to watch two beautiful people place a ring on each other’s finger. The Ceremony started at 7:30 pm CDT. People find inspiration in many places; the chart for that moment inspires me. There are a number of charts that one can cast on a relationship. A wedding is one that represents… Continue reading A Perfect Night to say, “I Do”

Venus Enters Leo
At 10:32 am CDT today, Venus enters Leo—a sign she won’t leave for good until October 8th. Between now and then, she’ll conjunct Jupiter three times, most conspicuously on July 1st. Venus will dip her toes into Virgo on July 18th, station retrograde on the 24th, then reverse back into Leo on July 31st. Back… Continue reading Venus Enters Leo
Penetrating Dreams
The Sagittarius full moon is exact at 11:19 am CDT today (6/2/2015). That means it will look equally as full tonight as it did last night. Over the weekend, I was reminded of the “other side” of Sagittarius. When I think of those ruled by the centaur, I think of athletic, jolly, extroverted, boisterous, speak-their-mind… Continue reading Penetrating Dreams
Filling a Lake
A Quick Review In Astrology, the Zodiac is comprised of 12 unique combinations of four elements and three cardinalities. Cardinal wants initiation. Mutable wants adaptation. Fixed wants stability. This morning at 8:07 am CDT, the sun takes its turn making an exact square to Neptune. Our will, egged on by logic, runs contrary to our… Continue reading Filling a Lake
The Churning Seas
The planets don’t move much in a day, but today’s chart looks very different than yesterday’s. [I didn’t catch the moon exactly opposite Uranus as shown in the chart below, but I was only a few minutes off.] Notice that the Libra moon now forms a warped Grand Cross with Venus, Pluto, and Uranus. The… Continue reading The Churning Seas
Awash
At 9:40 this morning (CDT), the Libra moon crossed over the North Node. [I just happened to look up today’s chart at that exact moment.] The gibbous moon is attempting to balance the conjoined energy of Mercury and Mars (who just recently traded positions in Gemini) with the vast (polluted) waters of Pisces where Neptune… Continue reading Awash
First Week of Gemini
The sun is now officially in Gemini and for the first week of this new astrological month, we are alive with some very basic alignments. First up is a pair of oppositions. Tonight at 8:56 CDT, Venus, with the moon right next to her, opposes Pluto in the middle of Cancer/Capricorn. Almost exactly 24 hours… Continue reading First Week of Gemini
Mercury, Gemini, and Everyone
Mercury station retrograde (in Gemini) precedes sun ingress Gemini by approximately 31 hours. That’s close enough to consider them as a single event, or rather the onset of a temporal window. Sun ingress Gemini is the start of an Astrological month, a month which, this year, is dominated by Mercury retrograde. Via the analysis described… Continue reading Mercury, Gemini, and Everyone
Retrograde and Return
Regarding people, Astrologers often study charts for those moments when a planet returns. The most (in)famous of these is the Saturn Return. With events, we can also study return charts that occur due to retrograde motion. The following is an example. On January 12, 2015 at approximate 10:30 am, I was involved in an accident on… Continue reading Retrograde and Return
A Journey: One Moon to the Next
Every so often, we hear someone talk about an event that occurred many moons ago. For most of us, a month flies by pretty quickly, yet, at the same time, it can bring vast and sweeping changes. For example, one month from today, I’ll be living in a very different home. This year, I have… Continue reading A Journey: One Moon to the Next
