Tonight is a full moon total lunar eclipse and is visible throughout the US (and the western hemisphere) overnight. Astrologically, the chart is relatively simple and features a nearly exact (to the arc-minute) wedge. The third point on the wedge features Uranus in Taurus. Astrologers refer to Uranus as the higher octave of Mercury, which… Continue reading Tonight’s Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse

Reviewing the Past and Moving Forward
In six weeks from today, the United States will experience another total solar eclipse. This time, the path of totality will roll through my home of the past 17 years. The Great American Eclipse occurred in 2017. It was called that because the shadow touched only this country. I don’t remember who said this, but… Continue reading Reviewing the Past and Moving Forward
An Eerie Harvest Mini-Moon
A few moments ago, I was sitting out on the roof of my apartment building. My intention was to bask in the glow of this intriguing Harvest Moon. News articles discuss how uncommon it is to have a Full Moon on a Friday the 13th. Other articles refer to this moon as a Micro-moon. I… Continue reading An Eerie Harvest Mini-Moon
Shine
One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, and thus the world, is to separate who you are from what is happening around you. You can be the calm in the middle of chaos. You can be the full moon in the middle of the dark sky. You can be the daffodil pushing up… Continue reading Shine
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
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
Virgo Pisces Opposition
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
Light and Shadow
We all know that light is real. We can see it. We can feel it. We can create devices that measure it. We can create devices that emit it. We can even slice matter with it. When light is blocked, a shadow appears. We can see a shadow, but is it actually real? In one… Continue reading Light and Shadow
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
