Hi Everyone, ❤

In recent weeks, many people have contacted me about the subject of their pets.  Their inquiries were not about what they can do to care for their pets during economic or other perceived hardships, but how to find an animal shelter, or if I “knew anyone” who would take their beloved pets for “reasons beyond their control” for which no one would disclose.  The rationalizations

The Ides of March “The Ides of March (Latin: Idus Martiae) is the name of the 15th day of March in the Roman calendar, probably referring to the day of the full moon. The word Ides comes from the Latin word “Idus” and means “half division” especially in relation to a month. It is a… Read more.

The Venus Pluto conjunction is officially within orb – see transit watch here. It has to do with old loves, among other things and I was thinking about this guy I knew.  I dated him for awhile. He had Venus in Libra conjunct his ascendent and he was smooooth as hell. He was also rich and he got that way very easily.

What is a Saturn Return?  This is when the transiting planet returns to the position it was in, in the natal chart approximately about every twenty nine and a half years.  In a life time an individual usually experiences at least two, if not three.  It represents a time of completing one major period and a need and desire to enter into a new phase and purpose for our continued growth.  It is considered usually a difficult time with a lot of stress and pressure, but it is also a time of many opportunities with important choices and decisions for new expressions of one’s being.  The Saturn Return has the reputation of being rough and unforgiving, and is one of the reasons one is instilled with caution and fear, when one reads on this subject matter, or needs to…

Last weekend I had limited time to get all my work done including the new moon article so I was a bit in a cave and didn’t see much news. Apparently, I missed a compelling story and thanks to my fellow Sag friend Zannalyn for pointing it out to me.

On Saturday 11/19, hundreds of UC Davis students sat in silence in two rows from one of the campus buildings all the way to the car of Chancellor Katehi. The chancellor with the campus chaplain accompanying her had to walk to her car facing silent students. This quiet walk of shame was in response to the pepper spray incident a few day earlier by campus police who had been authorized to remove tents of student protestors.

The day this occured we were in the last quarter of Scorpio Lunar…

As the Sun closes its journey in Scorpio we move from the clarity of perspective gained at the Full Moon in Taurus to the moment when you must let go of illusions and addictions. At this crossroads it will help you to discard some of the illusions (Neptune) of the collective (Aquarius) in order for [...]

There is nothing quite like this time of year when the Sun moves into Sagittarius and those of us who live in the USA celebrate Thanksgiving. The lovely exuberant spirit of this fire sign is wonderful for expressing gratitude for the many blessings in our lives. Sure, there are years when we have to dig quite deep to find something to be grateful for but it is an exercise worth doing.

The Sun will conjoin my first house Venus in Sagittarius on T-Day and this year we get a kicking New Moon [...]

I have had a lot of experiences in my life that are outside the norm. I don’t think about it that much mostly because I am thinking of other things.

Occasionally someone one slips on a banana peel, so to speak, and winds up in one of these pockets of life where I have put in a lot of time and have a lot of knowledge. What they finds out alarms them and I am the first person they think of because of course, I’ve been talking about whatever the thing is for years.  They find out I’m right. They find out I am not crazy. They find out that I don’t exaggerate the shadow out there and you’d think this would be satisfying for me or even perversely satisfying for me but it’s not.

If you’re a Capricorn (or have Capricorn emphasized in your chart), the last few months haven’t been easy for you. Pluto’s been plowing through your sign, digging deep and churning up everything you wanted to keep buried. But while the … Continue reading →

Following the discussion on the Fire element in astrology,  I’ll share a few tips & observations for working with the Earth element in your horoscope.

Identifying the Earth Energy in Your Natal Chart

In your horoscope, take a mental note of houses whose cusps are on the Earth signs: Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo.  If you have natal planets in the Earth signs, then also note the houses they occupy.

Tips & Observations Regarding the Earth Element in Your Horoscope

1) Focus on Solid Result & Improvement: In sharp contrast to other elements, Earth represents tangible results in the material world (Fire is more about excitement and the vision of “what could be”. Water is more about how things make you feel inside, and Air is more about knowledge & entertainment.)
