Not only a New Year, but a new decade is about to begin. And the astrology of 2020 starts out action packed from the beginning. It promises to be a wild ride, one where we may see the best of times and the worst of times. Speaking of the best - it is unusual not to have any dificult interactions between planets. Today, however, the interactions are all soft and harmonious. Rest, peace, and the illusion (or reality) of peace in the family, last throughout the day. There is

Today sees some conflict between compassion and actions. Are our actions in harmony with our greatest priorities? Are we having any difficulty reconciling our need for kindness and empathy with the traditional stance of authority figures in our life? This is a good day to sense what we . should be doing. To know in our gut where truth lies. If we have to argue or rationalize our actions, they are probably not fully all we feel to be true. Under this influence, it is not e

Feeling a bit detached from your honey? If you do not have a honey, maybe a little detached from others? Detachment can sometimes be uncomfortable, but you can gain a little perspective about how that relationship plays in the bigger picture. You have new ideas that are not as limiting as sticking to the tried and true. In fact, the reliable tried and true isn't working so well. One reason is you are bored by those limitations. It is time to push past them and let the pa

You may feel like socializing today. Not a surprising thing during the holidays, but it is a good day for loving your community and your significant other. Other, more eccentric and individual ideas are not forgotten, but you may have a sense that those you care about might find changes shocking and hard to integrate. For you, you are asking yourself if you are ready to be outside your comfort zone. Has it gotten too cozy? Have you matured beyond your original ideas of sa

The eclipse of the sun is over; we are on a waxing cycle. The light is beginning to grow. Things are more easily seen. Because the sun was blotted out during the eclipse (in some countries), we could see the light of the moon more clearly. The moon rules the body, the emotions, women, the family, the physical home and masses of people. You might have gotten a chance to see any of those things a bit more clearly. If you had an illness in the body, for example, your vitali

Did you feel the commencement of something new on the solar eclipse yesterday. It was not long after the new moon, either, which also presages a period of growth. Something has been seeded. Yesterday's eclipse favors wishes of the people. Traditional authority has been eclipsed by the mood of the people, and exists as they wish it to exist. New insights and ideas about new technologies are being digested. First, the foundations of power are shifting and changing. Interna

The light is returning. We passed the longest night of the year at the Winter Solstice on December 21. And the sun has transitioned into the sign Capricorn, a sign connected with tradition. As the days gets progressively longer, we enter a solstice season that extends through January 10. On Christmas Day we will have a solar eclipse. While people celebrate the season traditionally, there is also a high regard for truth and ethics. There may be an innovative sense of how t

Gettin it done...maybe it is a holiday to-do list or a honey do list, but work is stamped on today's planetary line up. It is also a day of emotional awareness that words and actions must match up or alie is present. As I have said for many days, there is some digging and gut level knowledge of something that doesn't feel quite right. While the image is being kept intact, there is confusion about what lies under that style...what is the substance? If style and substance ar

We are getting close to some big astrological events - the Sun will enter Capricorn on December 23; there will be a solar eclipse on Christmas Day and a new moon in Capricorn on the 26th. Next year, a lunar eclipse in Cancer will happen on January 10, around the time that a Senate trial and the State of the Union address. And Jupiter, which transits a new sign every year, has entered Capricorn, too. To put it mildly, there is a LOT of Capricorn energy. Capricorn is associa

We live in historic times, so I'm going to comment on the impeachment and then the personal effects of planetary movements. The GOP has continued to stress that lack of procedure and partisanship has characterized the house impeachment, but never addressed the substance of the Articles of Impeachment. Maybe, as Stephen Colbert suggested, the ostrich with its head in the sand, should e the new GOP mascot. There is an aspect in the sky that suggests traditional authority is bu
