Yesterday I did a Tarot reading for a woman who may have a decision to make in the near future: to stay at her current job or accept an offer that is forthcoming. The first card I pulled, front and center, was the Nine of Cups—the wish card. The sign of Aquarius, which we are… Continue reading Is it a Sign or just a Coincidence?

The Water Bearer Arrives
Early this morning (CST), the sun crossed over the cusp from Capricorn to Aquarius—from an earth sign that is very active, to an air sign that seeks stability. Within the same timeframe, the moon crossed the same cusp and conjoined the sun initiating a new lunar month. In less than 24 hours from now, Mercury,… Continue reading The Water Bearer Arrives
Libra New Moon
Libra, as symbolized by the scales, is generally associated with balance. In fact, in French, the sign is called Balance. And, as we know, Libra starts at the autumnal equinox: when day and night are roughly equal in length. In my opinion, Libra is more about balancing. Libra is Cardinal Air, and is active. We… Continue reading Libra New Moon
Mars Square Pluto…Again
I’m going to ask some questions flat out. I invite you to consider (and maybe jot down) your own answers. Are you angry? Think about it. Is there something in your life that’s got your goat? Maybe you don’t even know what you’re mad about. If your answer is no, take a moment to feel… Continue reading Mars Square Pluto…Again
Mercury Retrograde in Air
It has been a long time since Mercury has gone backward in an Air sign. The last time was September 2009 when Mercury retraced his steps in Libra. Mercury works best with Air. Air is not just about thought, but also communication. In response to a friend's Facebook post this morning, I found myself writing… Continue reading Mercury Retrograde in Air
1 Step Forward…2 Steps Back
Once again, we find ourselves with Mercury creeping backward in a water sign. Thankfully, we only have six days of it this time. The remainder of the retrograde will be in the air sign Aquarius. Eleven months ago, Mercury stationed direct and ended his retrograde period at 5o Pisces 38’ on March 17, 2013. This… Continue reading 1 Step Forward…2 Steps Back
Venus Station Direct
Less than 5 hours from when I’m writing this, Venus will station direct ending her retrograde cycle this time around. Simultaneously, the moon is just about to become visible as her new cycle gets going after yesterday’s Aquarius new moon. Venus Retrograde started at the onset of the season. We are still 4 days shy… Continue reading Venus Station Direct
Remembering Good Times
Apparent retrograde motion is caused by one of two very similar astronomical occurrences. Mercury and Venus appear to go backward when they overtake the earth. Their orbits are smaller and their speed faster than the earth, thus they pass us by periodically. They are closest to the earth at those times. With the outer planets,… Continue reading Remembering Good Times
Looking Forward…Looking Back
At one point this morning, it occurred to me to consider 2013 and 2014 from a broad perspective. In the past few days, I’ve seen a few Facebook posts stating appreciation for 2013. Some were heartfelt while others felt like genuine attempts. If I had written one of my own, it would have been a… Continue reading Looking Forward…Looking Back
Ghosts of Christmas Past
To my preferences, yesterday was one of the most beautiful autumn days one can experience. In some ways, the day had tinges of all four seasons. The morning was crisp—not quite wintry, but certainly fallish; the midday sun was warm allowing one to wander about without sleeves; and the sunset was nearly as early as… Continue reading Ghosts of Christmas Past
