The security loving, sensitive, moon has moved into the sign Sagittarius today, and it lies opposite Venus in Gemini. These two are not totally on the same page, although they share some common denominators. The pairing is likely to spawn a conflict between the need for socializing and curiosity and the desire to stay safe. It can also signal a conflict between new facts (Gemini is curious about everything) and the need to stay entrenched in a certain philosophy - one that

Today is the day that Venus is finally out from under her "shadow," the place where her retrograde journey began at 21 degrees Gemini on May 13. Yes, that long ago. Haircuts and treatments, cosmetics, new clothes, old lovers tend to not look so good once the retrograde and its shadow have passed. f someone came into your life during the retrograde, he or she may not pass the smell test once the period is over. Your tastes have changed. More fundamentally, you have moved o

Wowza! The energy flows today between Mercury in Cancer (newly out of its shadow), Moon in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces. Al of the sensitive signs of water element are present. Messages and communication from the heart. Messages that are intuitive and bring a new dimension of understanding that is not solely based on rational thought. Speak, but listen, too. Write if you are so inclined. All of the methods of communication and perception are enhanced by deep symbolism

Mercury in Cancer and Venus in Gemini have starring roles this week. Both have been retrograde recently. This week they both emerge out of their "shadow" - the place where both went retrograde a few weeks ago. Mercury in Cancer is out from under its shadow today. Venus in Gemini moves out from its shadow on Wednesday, July 29. We are still under the influence of s veritable convoy of retrograde planets - Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto and Chiron. And it isn't long unti

How do you speak truth to those in power? That isn't easy to do, and it often is poorly received. Mercury in Cancer, the planet of speaking and listening, and Vesta in Cancer (being true to our emotions and compassion) are opposite Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn (traditional power and authority). The opposition between Mercury/Vesta in Capricorn and Saturn/Pluto is being blocked by some important forces that demand a reckoning - now, if not yesterday. In fact, the grudge ag

Has there been a day in 2020 that has NOT been action packed with more astrology than one blogger can address? No! Well, today is no exception.

The nobility of the sign Leo is enhanced as a combination with the Moon in Virgo is like a gentleman offing his hat and asking "how may I best serve you." Noblesse oblige is the French way to describe it - the obligation of the king (Leo). European countries often vacation (in the past - who knows now?) during Leo time, and what could be

Where have you you felt like you have been treated like an unappreciated servant and where do you long to be freer? you want to be able to be appreciated for the individual you are and step outside the bonds of what society expects if you want to. The Sn is in Leo, and you need the freedom to roar a bit, no matter what these in authority over you say! It isn't enough to do this in secret - when has Leo's roar ever been quiet. You need to be able to express your own individ

We all live under one sky. Every planet in the sky right now has an impact on society and an impact on you. How personally you feel the effects depend on whether or not the transiting planets are landing near one of your personal planets.
