There was a partial eclipse of the moon early this morning or late last night, depending on where you live. The earth's shadow fell on the moon as the earth passed between the Sun and Moon. Eclipses are known for being a pivotal point. New directions are taken. The eclipse will occur with the Sun at 9 degrees Sagittarius and the Moon at 9 degrees Gemini. The Sun and Moon are at exactly opposite points, so they can eye one another warily. The are very different, but oppos

Today is a double-header in terms of astro-events. The planet Neptune, that pretty blue gas giant pictured in front of Uranus and Saturn, is pivoting today. It is pivoting at a point that is square the transiting lunar nodes, bringing a note of karma into the day. And to top things off, we are having a lunar eclipse soon, too. For the last 5 months, Neptune has been retrograde. Now it is pivoting to turn to direct and more open motion. Neptune is a planet of higher consc

The Moon is in Taurus, as it was yesterday, but it has passed by Uranus in Taurus and is in a calmer state. Moon in Taurus is sensual and loves rich indulgences. So Black Friday might have presented some pretty intense temptations. The Moon also opposes Juno, an asteroid of hearth and home, so an indulgent purchase for the home. perhaps? But all that skates the surface. Taurus is a fixed and earthy sign, too, confident when it has resources and hating the insecurity when

The Moon is fusing her energy with Uranus in Taurus today and opposing Venus in Scorpio. All three of these planets are square Saturn in Capricorn. Saturn is making her final stand in Capricorn before steaming on to a conjunction with Jupiter in Aquarius on the Winter Solstice. Times are a changing. Taurus is generally a happy place for the moon. Taurus provides emotional stability for the Moon whose feelings can change quickly. But Uranus rules revolution and surprises,

First off: Happy Thanksgiving! Your holiday may be a bit different from your normal routine, but most of us have something to be grateful for. It's a good day to count blessings - and to help someone out who is having a hard time, whether through financial difficulties, loneliness or food insecurity. I thought I'd write a feel good piece for the holiday, but there is an exceedingly militant air about women in the chart today. Maybe it will manifest as a rabid relative - bu

The Moon is in Aries today nestled in between Chiron in Aries, an asteroid for healing, and Mars, the ruling planet of Aries. The Aries Moon is trine the Sun in Sagittarius, JoeBiden's rising sign. In mundane charts, the Sun represents the leader. The Moon is the soul of the people. Mars is the will of the leader. Harmony lies between Sun and Moon in the form of a trine. The involvement of Chiron and Mars indicates Biden is staying true to the agenda he campaigned on - t

Time to move forward. Yesterday, the Biden transition team got to the go ahead signal from the GSA to receive funds for its transition work. Of particular interest is slowing the spread of COVID-19. Today, the energy of a new beginning is represented by the Moon in early degrees of Aries, headed for direct contact with Chiron, an asteroid that symbolizes a wound in need of healing. In Aries, we get energy from Aries ruler, Mars. But we also get issues of identity - who are

The Moon and Neptune are together in the watery element of Pisces today. On the plus side, it can be a day of rich imagination. Poetry and imagery seem to come from nowhere. And dreams contain symbols that feed our intuition. Meditation, yoga - even swimming do well under this influence. Water symbolizes knowing through the heart, through feeling, not logic. It is a good day to trust your intuition. But planetary influences never come in one flavor - all sweetness, for

The Sun has just entered Sagittarius; the Moon has moved into Pisces; Venus has entered the domain of Scorpio. An explorer ventures into the domain of things they don't understand, but feels intuitively instead, while there is a desire to jealously maintain relationships as they are. Especially for those born or with planets in early degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Virgo or Gemini. Also early degrees of Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo, or Taurus. Really, there is so much going on i

The Moon in Aquarius is square the Sun in Scorpio. On a personal level, emotions needs more space; on a mundane level, people as a whole are feeling restless, too. The Sun in Scorpio is kind of the Big Kahuna, and he is joined by an asteroid, Juno, that is all about hearth and home. The Big Kahuna Sun can put a heavy thumb of control and expectation, but there is the Moon wanting to break free from the usual routine to find something new. This is reinforced by Mercury in
