There is a realization that we must act in caring, compassionate ways (the Moon is in healthcare loving Cancer, a sign for healing and nurturing). There is a sense that the people must and can act to build structure and take actions that respond positively to the disruption in all our lives. There is a dissonance between what is needed in a very practical way, to do the healing work, but an increasing sense that it is our collective destiny to move forward into the future.

Today the Moon, arbiter of emotions, is in the eternally curious and youthful sign of Gemini. The Moon is in a challenging aspect in Pisces, so there may be a dreaminess and a thought process that isn't totally grounded. Imagination takes flight. There is also tension between the forces of change and the structure you have built in your life. This tension can increase the tendency to go off in a flight of daydreaming or using alcohol or drinking or overeating to help manag

I'm going out on a limb here, but I think there is a good chance that the misinformation and unclear communication we have had will be challenged, in a week to 10 days. Clarity would be good. This communication could be due to increased testing or knowledge of what we are actually facing. More and more, there is an effort marshaled to find new solutions, new technologies to things that have rocked our world - out of the blue. The will of the people is focused on and committe

Happy Birthday, Aries! You are starting the year out with a solar return moon in Taurus, giving you endurance, an ability to deal with new (often upsetting) circumstances better than normal, and more emotional stability than you might have in another year. Security loving Taureans are more likely to do things as they want to do them, as opposed to how they are expected to behave. Mindfulness and sensuality reign today and there is a sense of change in theair. Compassion, n

Astrologically, isolation continues, and the rates of infection have a chance of dropping as Saturn (the Limiter), newly in Aquarius, stands in challenging aspect to Uranus in Taurus - a newly acquired thing causing great disruption to our practical routines. We've been shaken out of our rut, but the strategy of isolation is a good one. The Sun, our center, is beginning to pull away from the hurtful efects of Chiron. The moon in Taurus is moving more toward a strategy of is

As above, so below. Just as the Sun is the center of our solar system, it symbolizes the center of the chart - it stands for Executives and leaders. Right now, transiting Chiron, the wounded healer, full of pain, is exactly conjunct the Sun. It doesn't take a genius to see that executives can cause pain. That includes the Executive Branch of government. Thew view of reality is somewhat delusional, but one thing is for sure, heads of household, corporate leaders, nonprofi

The divide that is present in our country - one side Conservative, the other Liberal, does show up in the astrology of today. It is no surprise that there is a vote coming this afternoon on the coronavirus stimulus bill. Venus reaches a hand out to conservative forces, Pluto-Saturn-Jupiter while both sets of planets are making a favorable aspect to Neptune. Neptune can be very, very good, or very, very delusional - suggesting that the legislation needs close scrutiny. The

Some big changes are in the air! Today is the day of the new moon - we are just past it now - but the New Moon kicked off a new cycle, lasting about 14 days. It is a great time to make a new beginning. The action is happening in the sign of personal identity. Individuals demand their concerns and are at odds with tradition. What is good for me - and what is good for me now?! The new moon is on Chiron transiting Aries, so the question will be "Who am I". What will I stand

In astrology, every planet has a dark and a bright face. We humans have free will, and that means the stars inform us, they form a picture of what is possible, but we choose to express that bright or dark side. That is certainly true during the current crisis. The Sun has currently moved into the sign Aries, and tomorrow begins the growth cycle of the new moon. But today, we are still in the dark phase of the moon; reviewing the loose ends of the past. Much indicates that

A wintry mix is falling here in St. Louis. Snow is actually on the ground, (I'm hoping to make my spring garden next week!) which makes it easier to stay home,away from others. I just read an email from my mentor, Steven Forrest, about the astrology of the Pandemic. He attributes it, in part, to the planet Eris being in Square aspect from Aries to Mars, Jupiter, and Pluto. Eris' mythology is a vindictive one - as he says, she likes to win, but she likes even more to see y
