Once each year, the Earth passes directly between the two most gravitational bodies in our solar system: the sun and Jupiter. This happens today just past high noon Central Standard Time. Given the time of the occurrence, the opposition between these massive bodies occurs along the vertical axis of the chart. In my opinion, the… Continue reading Holding Back the Sea

First Full Moon of 2015
Last night was the first significant lunar event for 2015. It carried with it the force of a full moon lunar eclipse. The lunar nodes travel slowly backward through the Zodiac. Last night was precisely half way between the last set of eclipses and the next. That is because both the sun and the moon… Continue reading First Full Moon of 2015
A Beating Heart
The (Zodiac) month of idealized love is over, and now we are within an expression of love that is very much human. In Alignment and Synchronization, I wrote how Aquarius—the water bearer—is the ruler of the 11th house—the house of ideals and aspirations. By this association, it is perfectly appropriate for Valentine’s Day, the celebration of… Continue reading A Beating Heart
Transforming Love
Sometimes, the prescient tidbits that come through my fingers turn out to be way more accurate and way more personal than I would have ever guessed. More on that in a bit… Yesterday, Venus caught up to Pluto in the sky. This is, in fact, her last conjunction before she changes direction and works her… Continue reading Transforming Love
Mercury in 2013: The Whole Story
Back in February, I mapped out the relationship between the 2013 Mercury retrograde periods and the movements of Saturn. In two days, Mercury’s last retrograde of 2013 will come to an end when he stations direct. Of course, it will take until 11/27/13 for Mercury to finish his last sweep over previously trodden territory before… Continue reading Mercury in 2013: The Whole Story
Mists of Avalon
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
Salt
When the salt touches your wound and causes you pain, will you condemn the salt? All of the oceans are teeming with salt. Will you condemn them too? Or can you begin the journey toward appreciating the salt for reminding you that you have a wound that has not yet healed and may be something… Continue reading Salt
In the Air
My readings of late have been intense; challenge cards litter every spread. I know something is brewing. As Phil Collins says, "I can feel it coming In the Air Tonight." The first card that caught my attention was the 5 of Swords. With this card I most often simply think of a general feeling of… Continue reading In the Air

Venus in Taurus trine Pluto in Capricorn: Money vs. Currency Looking up the word ‘money’ in Wikipedia, we find the following reference: In the past, money was generally considered to have the following four main functions, which are summed up in a rhyme found in older economics textbooks: "Money is a matter of functions four,… Continue reading Money vs. Currency
Painful Gifts
Today is April 19th within the final hours of Aries. As an astrological month, this has been one of my toughest. However, today I feel happy in a way I have not since Mercury stationed on March 17th. A couple of days ago, Jupiter crossed the cusp of my 11th house. Over the weekend, retrograde… Continue reading Painful Gifts
