Oh Snap! It’s back. 2019’s second Jupiter square to Neptune is exact on Sunday, and the skies have changed quite a bit since their first standoff back in January.

Forecast Jun 10-16, 2019: The Curious Cases Of The Quincunxes
With four quincunxes in the works for this week, it’s time to take a look at them, too. Technically, the term refers to planets that are exactly 150 degrees apart. Practically, this puts the planets in both unlike elements and unlike modalities.
Forecast Jun 3-9, 2019: Time To Prioritize
A new Gemini moon begins a week that will see Mercury and Venus change signs, as well as our first full encounters with the incoming mutable t-squares.
Here It Comes
Well, if the Pisces moon we had early in the week didn’t sound any intuitive alarms, informative Mercury is about to turn up the volume.
Neptune Trine The North Node: Time For Reflection
So, while the world outside might get carried away with Gemini chatter, you may be guided to unplug and spend some alone time. Meditating on your life’s next big steps is being supported by the spiritual combination of Neptune and the North Node.
Mars In Cancer: The Housecleaning Begins
Why are we so triggered? If we can trace these feelings back to their origins, as suggested by the Saturn, Pluto and Mercury retrogrades and South Node oppositions, we may well be able to resolve the underlying issues, reframe our current circumstances and clarify our direction ahead. The presence of Saturn and Pluto in this unfolding drama points to the severity of the situation and the degree to which we need to be brutally honest with ourselves, and others. That’s never easy, especially when it comes to messy, uncomfortable emotions, like anger. Ah, but that’s where the cosmic medicine lives.
Celebrating The Wheel On May 1st
On Wednesday, May 1st, at 1PM PST/4PM EST I’ll be visiting Kristina Walsh to talk about the astronomical and astrological elements of the wheel. We’ll also take a look at the various structures that have been created, all over the globe, to mark significant points of the wheel, and I’ll be sharing some up-to-the-minute astrological […]
Trauma & Transformation
What Pluto and the South Node began unearthing in early April will send powerful shockwaves over the next five months, if not throughout the remainder of the year. That Pluto goes retrograde on April 24th and Saturn on the 29th is a further indication that past deeds are bound to be revisited. In addition to the emphasis on the past created by nostalgic Cancer, the South Node connections and the retrogradation of both Saturn and Pluto, most of informative Mercury’s next retrograde in July will be spent in Cancer. Bookending all of these events, the year’s first eclipse, a solar one in Capricorn, took place on January 5th and its final eclipse, a partial solar one also in Capricorn, will happen on December 26th.
Healing Parental/Childhood Trauma: Pluto And The South Node Oppose The North Node
Pluto, though relegated to dwarf status by astronomers, is respectfully viewed by astrologers as the potent planet of the underworld and transformation. It unflinchingly peers into the darkest places in the psyche, with an eye towards reformation. Only when we recognize and acknowledge our most painful experiences can we heal them and create new outcomes. On April 4th, Pluto will align exactly with the South Node of the Moon, the astrological component that describes the past, in Capricorn. The two will oppose the North Node of the Moon, the component illuminating the future, in Cancer.
Surfing The Psychic Waves On March 20th
March 20th is of course Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the day when the Sun enters the cardinal fire sign of Aries. This year the momentous event is preceded by a powerful Mars trine to Pluto, and this equinox includes a Super Full Moon in Libra, the final in our series of three Supermoons at 0 degrees and the first of two Libra full moons during the Aries sun cycle. I’ll have all of the details for you when I visit with Kristina Walsh on Surfing The Psychic Waves at 1:00 PM PST on Wednesday, March 20th.
