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
Reinvention
[Update 7/19/20210] These years, thanks to Google Maps and smart phones, we almost always know where we are (on the globe). But how often do we get lost within our spiritual journeys? For someone who stays home a lot, I’ve been on quite a journey. I moved into this house three and a half years… Continue reading Reinvention
Jupiter (Ge)station
My intuition always leads me to the most fascinating places. In yesterday’s post, I mentioned that Jupiter stationed direct in Leo on April 8, 2015. Let’s look at that chart more closely: At the top of the chart, we have a quadruple conjunction in Aries in the 10th house: Psyche @ 16o 23’ Uranus @… Continue reading Jupiter (Ge)station
Royal Flush
You know how, in Sci-Fi movies, there’s often that super bright scientist who’s on the brink of a scientific breakthrough? His theory is advanced, but not exactly safe. He’s eager to share his findings, but must test on a human to prove his results. Since it is not appropriate to risk another person’s life, he… Continue reading Royal Flush
