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

When light is blocked, a shadow appears. We can see a shadow, but is it actually real? In one… Continue reading Light and Shadow

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
Backed into a Corner
In Astrology, the precise moment you were born is significant for so many reasons. The most obvious is to determine the ascendant, the sign at the eastern horizon. The Rising Sign, as it is also called, places some tools in your belt, so to speak. One way I describe it is this: if someone or… Continue reading Backed into a Corner

How about last night when the Moon rose before sunset and glowed brightly against the blue sky? Today’s Full Moon is called the Egg… Continue reading Cornered Lunacy
