With Venus moving backward in the evening sky, I’ve had all that she stands for on my mind. This is my third attempt at writing something for the occasion. This time, I feel emotionally inspired, rather than intellectually inspired. One quality...category...subject...or context that is Astrologically associated with Venus is Value. Venus rules Taurus and rules… Continue reading Value

Astrology Update: February 2017
Today is Super Bowl Sunday. From where I’m sitting, it seems the NFL championship has been taking a back seat to other battles of late. In my post called Happy 2017!, I mentioned a few bits of information I would like to revisit. At that time, Mercury was still retrograde. In the fourth paragraph, I… Continue reading Astrology Update: February 2017
Happy 2017!
It’s been a while since I did an Astrological update, but that’s where the inspiration is taking me today…so here we go. Early, early this morning (East Coast time), the moon passed by the sun. This is the New Moon in Capricorn—the first of Winter (or Summer, down under). From the lunar calendar perspective, this… Continue reading Happy 2017!
Astrological Transitions are Afoot
Starting Election day, the three inner planets (not counting Earth) will change signs, one after the next. Given the order of the transitions, none will occupy the same sign at the same time. Mars will leave Capricorn before Venus enters, and Venus will leave Sagittarius before Mercury enters. This is akin to three individuals who… Continue reading Astrological Transitions are Afoot
Freedom and Safety
The New Moon in Gemini occurred on June 4 at 10 pm CDT. This nearly coincided with the opposition of Saturn (Sun opposite Saturn). The New Moon chart shows even more. In fact a grand mutable cross occurred at that time [http://planetwatcher.com/#1465095600]: In my opinion, the New Moon sets the stage for the lunar month… Continue reading Freedom and Safety
Feel Your Way There
[This post has links to a number of interesting sites. Be sure to check them out!] As a Gemini, which is an air sign, I have often sought understanding as a means to feel better. When my emotions are down, I question why. I ask myself what is bothering me and why it bothers me.… Continue reading Feel Your Way There
Moon-Mars Rise
This evening, we're in for a visual treat. The full moon will rise flanking Mars. As the following diagram shows, look ESE around sunset. If skies are clear, you'll easily spot them. Last night, I was able to see Mars glowing brightly about ten degrees below the waxing gibbous (nearly full) moon. The above diagram… Continue reading Moon-Mars Rise
Prince
Just for fun, I want to share some of my thoughts about Prince’s natal chart (<-- click to view the chart). Scorpio on the Ascendant (Cusp of the First House): Anyone watching Prince perform or listening to his music could see and feel the sexuality within his expression. However, unlike some music, which is only about sex,… Continue reading Prince
Seeing Red Light
On Jeopardy, some phrases are categorized as before and after. The title of today’s blog can be seen that way: “seeing red,” and “red light.” Within the next 24 hours, the two red planets will both station retrograde. When Mars and Pluto aspect, it is common for one who has been a bit angry to then… Continue reading Seeing Red Light
