In yesterday’s post (Venus and Mars; Dogs and Cats), I discussed the Venus-Mars conjunction. A conjunction occurs when two (or more) planets appear next to each other in the sky from our vantage. They needn’t be anywhere near each other in reality. For example, Venus is still quite close to earth. She just overtook us… Continue reading Virgo Pisces Opposition

Venus and Mars; Dogs and Cats
Tuesday is the first day of September. At 12:04 am CDT, Venus will conjunct Mars to simultaneously kick off the day and the month. Six hours later, one with a clear view of the eastern horizon will be able to watch them rise side-by-side ahead of the sun. I’ve been observing Venus before sunrise, but unfortunately there’s… Continue reading Venus and Mars; Dogs and Cats
Design and Implementation
In thirty days—on September 17, 2015 at 9:49 pm CDT—Saturn will ingress the sign of Sagittarius, where it will remain until December 19, 2017. Less than nine hours before that happens, Mercury will station retrograde at 15 Libra 55. Noticing this synchronicity, I decided to explore the Gemini and Virgo perspectives of this event. That’s when… Continue reading Design and Implementation
4400
When you look up at the sun today, keep in mind that Venus is hovering right next to it, though you cannot see her. At 2:21 pm CDT, she will make her closest pass as that is the moment of peak conjunction. The moon, also invisible at this time, hovers near by and is not… Continue reading 4400
Double Red
I spent all morning working on a New Moon Astrology post, tried three times, then ultimately decided to give up. I looked at all the information and found myself saying, “Who cares?” and, “What’s the point?” I walked away from the computer and started doing errands. It then occurred to me that I did have… Continue reading Double Red
Razing a House
Three days ago—Monday at 10:38 am CDT—the earth directly aligned in between the sun and Pluto. Astrologically speaking, we say that the sun and Pluto formed an exact opposition. In six days, the same will occur with Mars and then Mercury. That's three pluto oppositions in less than ten days! These Pluto oppositions affect all of… Continue reading Razing a House
Ever Expanding
Tomorrow evening just past 5:30 CDT, Mercury ends his backward motion. Those of you who have been holding your breath can inhale deeply once again. 🙂 Remember when I said that Mercury Retrograde was helping Saturn backtrack into Scorpio? Well here is more evidence: the chart below, which is based on the moment Mercury stations,… Continue reading Ever Expanding
A Perfect Night to say, “I Do”
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
