Today is the birthday of a dear friend. Her Solar Return, however, was yesterday. Solar Return Readings are intriguing. They use the return of the sun to the spot when you were born to illuminate the road ahead for the coming year. We only use the current position of the planets. In that regard, it is something… Continue reading Solar Return

Same Kite…Different Day
In my discussion about Mars within the Grand Sextile on July 12th, I wrote the following specifically about Mars: “I can’t help but think of a man who, in his heart, truly believes that women deserve to choose for themselves their own fate. Men need to stay out of the discussion.” Technically, my writing that is… Continue reading Same Kite…Different Day
Mars within the Grand Sextile
The first of our Grand Sextiles is still more than two weeks away. And there is plenty of interesting Astrology in the mean time. Readers have been asking me what these Grand Sextiles mean. Clients have been asking for Transit Charts with them. Both configurations (7/29/13 and 8/26/13) include nearly every planet and touch more… Continue reading Mars within the Grand Sextile
A Grand Day Indeed
[8-24-2013: See Grand Sextile Partie Deux and Opposing Neptune and the Grand Sextile for new information.] A Grand Sextile is an amazingly interesting Astrological formation.

The Middle
We are in the middle of some very interesting Astrology right now and I’ve been so busy, I haven’t had much time to write about it. This morning, I decided to take a break and run some numbers.

Luminary Balance
Minutes after the sun - Pluto opposition peaked, I felt emotional enough to shed a few tears. It was the kind of cry that releases pent up tension. The sun looked Pluto square in the eye and recognized that he has nothing to fear from his small and distant follower. The sun in Cancer wants… Continue reading Luminary Balance
Sun Opposite Pluto
Less than four hours ago, Venus made a square to Saturn. In less than four hours from now, she will inconjunct Neptune and the sun will opposed Pluto. These aspects are tense. Anxiety is easy to come by. Mercury retrograde can tweak your electronics, but with the other aspects, you just might stress about it… Continue reading Sun Opposite Pluto
Musing on a Sunday Morning
Early this morning, I woke from a dream. I had a fight with my mother and am so mad, I storm out of the house. I decide that I want to find a new place to live - a new city even. It raining, and I’m driving my truck through San Diego, but I don’t… Continue reading Musing on a Sunday Morning
Crying Out Loud
We should adopt COL as short hand for Crying Out Loud. I think it’ll get plenty of use over the next year. Jupiter is now in Cancer after all (as of last night). Mercury is officially retrograde (in Cancer). The sun (in Cancer) already Trined Saturn (in Scorpio) and is about to Trine Neptune (in… Continue reading Crying Out Loud
Chip away at it
The sun in Cancer is about to pass through the Grand Water Trine. At the same time, Jupiter will belly flop into the pool and Mercury will start his backstroke. Venus will then climbed out of the water, bit it will take her a minute to dry off. I, for one, have been craving the… Continue reading Chip away at it
