Astrology for the Full Moon of Halloween
Samhain, or All Hallows Eve is celebrated tomorrow on the auspices of a Full Moon in Taurus. It is said the veil is thinner between our world and the next, so it is easier for things to go bump in the night! The Sun is in Scorpio, a sign of deep and hidden things, opposite the sensual Moon in Taurus. Day and night is equal now, but the nights will be getting longer as we moves toward the Winter Solstice in December. As George Martin said, Winter is coming! The Moon in Taur


Astrology of Friday, October 30
The Moon is in Aries, very close to Eris in Aries all day. Eris is a discordant energy. So we may feel emotionally on edge at the start of the day. However, even when the Moon leaves Aries for the normally more stable and earthy sign of Taurus, the Moon in Taurus will be drawing closer to the asteroid Lilith, another independent thinker. The Sun in Scorpio opposes Lilith in Taurus; Mercury in Libra opposes Eris in Aries. You or your partner may feel a little restless; he

There is a Side A and a Side B to every aspect. Looking at today's stars, let's look at two perspectives. Today, the Moon is in Aries, sitting between Chiron and Mars in Aries. In a mundane chart, the Moon pictures the will of the people. It doesn't take much imagination to see that people are in pain and they are angry. That aspect is square Jupiter/Pluto/Saturn in Capricorn - the anger is directed at those in power. No stimulus deal is on the way to bail people out -


Astrology for Wednesday, October 28
Venus is entering the sign of Libra opposing the Moon in Aries which is conjunct Chiron, the Wounded Healer. It doesn't take much imagination to see that a female figure is opposing the (Moon) public's right to healthcare and healing. In fact, women's rights seem to be determined by their relationships than by a woman's own identity. Venus in Libra is forming an out of sign trine to the power planets Jupiter/Pluto/Saturn in Capricorn and squaring actions of self determinat

During the Amy Coney Barrett hearings, Venus in Virgo was opposite Neptune in Pisces, signifying deception and "spin" regarding a female. Today, the day of her confirmation, that aspect is gone, together with her hearing testimony. However, Venus in Virgo is trining the institutionalized powers of (often wealthy) government, Jupiter/Pluto/Saturn in Capricorn. The Capricorn planets sextile the Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune in Pisces. All this, as a large party on the Whi


Astrology for Monday, October 26
Just a quick reminder that Mercury is in retrograde motion, a time when logic is easily confused. Mercury is at 1 degree retrograde in Scorpio; the Sun is at 3 degrees Scorpio. This is a good time, not to initiate new projects, but to look deeply within. Look at your identity's most fundamental needs. Is it time to redefine who you are and what your most fundamental needs are? I say this because as Mercury and the Sun are traveling close together, they are in opposition t


Astrology for Sunday, October 25
Venus is in Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces - a good time to check your romantic impulses to make sure the object of your devotion is all that ....it's easy when Neptune is involved to look at love through a romanticized lens. That can so exciting for a time....unless you find out your partner has feet of clay or is human, after all. But is such a romantic view fair to the real needs of either party. You may tempted to act very self sacrificing and noble, as though you had


Astrology for Saturday, October 24
Restless and unsettled, Uranus in Taurus opposite the Sun in Scorpio, is a major feature today. Uranus in Taurus signifies some revolutionary changes in financial systems are in the future. A lot of people (Sun = identity) are hurting financially. Taurus also speaks to our physical planet. Surprises, unexpected events - who saw a pandemic coming? - who knew climate change would affect our world so dramatically, so soon? - are to be the norm. When Uranus comes to call, any


Astrology for Friday, October 23
I am sitting down to write this before the Presidential debates on Thursday night. I posted a picture of the bull because Uranus is in Taurus, the sign of the bull. Taurus likes financial security; Uranus will revolt for the sake of a new idea.. These two are odd bedfellows. Uranus in Taurus is at the heart of one of the aspects dominating today's sky. In a mundane chart, the Sun and the planet Jupiter are symbols used to describe the leader, the "king." The Sun has ente

One of the most striking configurations in the sky during the Amy Coney Barrett hearings is Venus in Virgo is opposite Neptune in Pisces. As a female, she evokes an understated presence (members of her sect call themselves "handmaidens" - a chilling reference) and opposite Neptune in Pisces, she has refused to directly answer many questions about her acceptance or nonacceptance of established legal precedent. In fact, Neptune is a great spin doctor, so there may be some "il
