The crystal-clear, mountain-fed Bow River - my favourite thing about Calgary, Alberta.

Mars is in the last degree of Virgo today, ingressing Libra at 5:46 p.m. (MT) and conjuncting Saturn early Saturday morning.

I started this blog when Saturn was in early Virgo, and it hit me last night what Saturn moving into Libra meant. My nose lifted from the grindstone, and I realized that things are not as they were. The dynamics have changed. The energy has shifted.

The slogging-it-out, seeing-where-it-goes developmental stage of Saturn in Virgo has been completed. We’ve put the final last touch on in many areas of our lives. And while it is a relief to have this foundational work done, it’s also a little sad. Things change now.

The final Saturn-Uranus opposition is closing a big chapter and opening a new one - just a crack. Once Jupiter…

It seems a pretty impossible feat to set a date for the emergence of rock music, let alone to draw a horoscope for it. Yet, according to William Naylor, producer of the BBC documentary “The Seven Ages of Rock“ , rock music as we know it, started on the day that the American, Jimi Hendrix, arrived in London and that was [...]

This astrology forecast for August 2010 is based on planetary aspects and lunations, with some fixed star interpretations thrown in. August 2010 is the most intense time of the whole year astrologically, particularly the first two weeks. This is because the Cardinal T-square between Saturn, Uranus and Pluto is within it’s tightest orb, under two [...]

Good Day!

These next two days, July 30 & 31, bring this summer’s transits of transformation front and center.  Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto are all involved in a conflicting pattern of energy and today and tomorrow Mercury, Mars, and the Moon deliver this conflict right to our doorsteps.  No longer will it seem “out there” or only happening to someone else.

With the Moon in Aries we’re ready for a fight.  It’s like that movie line, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore.”    We’ve had enough, our patience is gone, and we’re emotionally ready to stand up to anyone or anything that smacks of injustice or deceit.  No matter how much we’ve been focused on our own sphere of business, work, and personal life, we’re all reaching the tipping point with the global news and…

When you receive this influence, you feel rushed, pressed to meet deadlines, or pressured to perform.  There is a natural flow to energy, one that is dictated to by the Sun and the Moon – a flow that excites you when it is time to move forward and causes resistance when it is time to rest. The Time Guardian reminds you of the mechanics of time and highlights where you are pushing against the natural flow. It is the waning phase of the cycle, where you wind down, de-clutter and release. Stressing about the future is wasted energy now and your focus should be solely on healing the past and smoothing the present.

In a recent blog entry, Famecrawler suggested some "perfect playdates" for some celebrity kids. Suri Cruise and Zahara Jolie-Pitt should play together, it was suggested, because they are both girly girls and would love to play dress up. Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and Kingston Rossdale should be pals because they could both do boy things (since Shiloh loves to be ‘just one of the guys’). Jennifer Lopez’s

Two people want love and have have identical charts. Which one is going to find it? My guess, it’ll be the one who works to develop their character and fires on all available cylinders…

Venus Opposite Uranus (In Midst Of Cardinal Grand Cross) - August 6-7, 2010

The Cardinal T-square hits my Moon and the strangest things come to mind.  All kinds of things are happening. My life is popping like popcorn and then I lie down to read, A Prayer for Owen Meany and instead I remember the hot room.

Most of you know I grew up in the desert and many of you know I grew up in an adobe house, which is a house made of mud.  It was mostly hot as hell but in the winter it was cold.  Cold by desert standards, but cold just the same if you did not have heat in the house which we did not.

Transits, or more accurately planetary transits, are terms used to describe real time movements of the Sun, Moon and planets. Astrologers relate the planets’ transits, or positions during a particular time span, to the position of the planets in a birth chart or mundane chart. This exercise enables them to predict a variety of likely life cycle “atmospheres” and changes.In his book Astrology for
