There are times in life when the greatest service a person can give is to promote others within theirs. It is clear to me today that this is where I am. My own service is evolving. It is rounding a corner. It is early spring and seeds planted long ago are nearly breaking ground. But… Continue reading Invocation of Spring

Painful Gifts
Today is April 19th within the final hours of Aries. As an astrological month, this has been one of my toughest. However, today I feel happy in a way I have not since Mercury stationed on March 17th. A couple of days ago, Jupiter crossed the cusp of my 11th house. Over the weekend, retrograde… Continue reading Painful Gifts
Solar Conjunction
Tomorrow at 7:19 pm CDT, the sun and Mars will exactly conjunct at 28 Aries 8. I would like to take this opportunity to discuss Solar conjunctions. Astrology is an earth-centered system. A chart illustrates what things look like from our perspective. In our view, the sun makes one full loop around the Zodiac in… Continue reading Solar Conjunction
Bringing it all Together
As of yesterday, I wasn’t planning on writing an Astrology post today, but then I woke during the night with a strong need to set things right. I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had failed in my task, and that it is now my duty to fix the mistake. I also feel I should… Continue reading Bringing it all Together
Conjunction Junction
Conjunction Junction, what's your function? Hooking up words and phrases and clauses. Yesterday, for the middle of the week, I highlighted the red (hmm, that was fitting). All things considered, it was a good day. However, this morning I did wake with another back spasm. Now that I think about it, muscle spasms are exactly… Continue reading Conjunction Junction
Dueling Squares
It has come to my attention that I was mentioned in The Mountain Astrologer Monday. Find the article here: http://mountainastrologer.com/tma/monday-morning-blogs In yesterday’s post Interaction, I illustrated many of the interesting aspects that occurred in the morning. The moon, at that time, was a good part of it. In today’s post, I highlight three aspects that… Continue reading Dueling Squares
Interaction
Astrology is geometric. Some days, even when you’re not sure what it all means, it sure is pretty. What you see here is the chart for this morning. All of the lines drawn connect planets at either 10 or 11 degrees. I have not shown any other aspects (and there are more). And this is… Continue reading Interaction
Caffeinated Prudence
Mars in Aries is like three cups of coffee when you normally have one. Sitting still is a challenge and patience a chore.With Uranus near by, it's like putting power tools in those jittery, impetuous hands. Yes, you can be very productive, but yes, you can also do some damage. Keep in mind that Mercury… Continue reading Caffeinated Prudence
A Question of Identity
As you may know, Mercury stations direct on Sunday, March 17, 2013 at 3:04 CDT. This occurs at 5 degrees 38 arc-minutes Pisces. As a result of the activity surrounding me, I realized something today. This Mercury station makes nearly an exact square to my natal sun (at 5 degrees 24 arc-minutes Gemini). Within the… Continue reading A Question of Identity
7 Planets in Pisces
Early this morning CST (just before we switched to Daylight Saving) the moon entered the sign of Pisces. Thus began two full days with SEVEN planets floating in the sea. In fitting with the vibe, a formidable thunderstorm and downpour rolled through Austin. When I looked at the radar, the band of red started here… Continue reading 7 Planets in Pisces
