journey with more joy!
Now through the next 2+ weeks. Donald J Trump (DJT) and I (DPT) have a few things in common. He is a Gemini. I am a Gemini. His Ascendant in is Leo. My Ascendent is in Leo. This places his natal sun in the 10th house, where my natal sun sits. The sun sign, as… Continue reading Brief Astrological Transit report for DJT
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
[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
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
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
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
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
[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
More and more, I find myself saying to friends, clients, and myself: “You are not your rising sign.” You are not your progressed rising sign either. In the past, I have described the rising sign using these visuals: A shell A sword A shield Whether we use the rising sign for protection or to cope… Continue reading You are NOT your Rising Sign
Do you remember, as kids, making houses out of cards? It was fun to see how elaborate a structure you could build before the whole deck crumbled in on itself. It took a steady hand and some nifty tricks to construct a four-story house of cards. For a minute or two, I want to bring… Continue reading Mists of Avalon
