The New Moon aligned on May 26 at 6 degrees Gemini, the sign of mental dexterity, communication and duality. This lunation presents a potent new cycle as it forms an Air trine with Pluto in Aquarius, symbolic of ideas which profoundly transform the collective consciousness.

Mercury rules the New Moon and is conjunct it at 2 degrees Gemini, enhancing the focus on the flow of information and data. It is an opportune time for initiating intellectual pursuits, refining communication strategies, and adopting new frameworks for understanding through learning. With Jupiter also in Gemini, wrapping up it's year-long transit, the expansiveness of the hunger for information, gossip and knowledge can be profoundly stimulating, but could also be overwhelming. It can be difficult to choose what to prioritize, as not everything is worthy of our time and focus. Discerning significant insight from superfluous data is essential.

"Seek justice for all, for a society built on fairness is a reflection of the divine order."

The cosmic landscape is shifting dramatically as Saturn, the stern taskmaster of the zodiac, transitions into the fiery sign of Aries for a 2.5 year journey starting on May 25. There, it will met by Neptune, the planet of dreams, fantasies and idealization, already transmuting realm of faith into one of passionate activism. This potent combination, culminating in conjunctions in July 2025 and February 2026, marks not just a change is social norms, but a profound purification by fire for all of humanity. Both Saturn and Neptune in Aries are motivated to fight a crusade against injustice and to pioneer new realms of self-determination.

Saturn applies pressure to our weak areas so that we have the opportunity to grow stronger, face our fears and attain mastery. The raw enthusiasm of Aries could clash with Saturn's need for structure and authority which may bring a sense of being stifled or a ...

As the Full Moon in Scorpio aligns today, May 12th, 2025, we may be compelled to confront the raw intensity of our inner world. This lunation, amplified by its dynamic opposition to Uranus in Taurus, not only illuminates our deepest emotions but also brings the core Scorpio themes of emotional depth, bonding, betrayal, obsession, and vengeance into sharp focus, urging us towards profound liberation.

The Scorpio Full Moon acts as a powerful searchlight, piercing through the surface layers of our psyche to illuminate the often-shadowed territories of our desires and fears. During this time, the intense emotions associated with Scorpio – jealousy that can consume, the sting of perceived betrayal, obsessive fixations that grip our minds, and the simmering desire for retribution – can rise to the surface from the depth of the unconscious.

As a fixed sign, Scorpio can tend to keep these emotions buried and when alchemized into resentment, they can become destructive to the host, as in the "...

9 degrees Aries

The partial solar eclipse at 9 degrees Aries will align at sunrise this Saturday on the East Coast of the United States, which seems fitting due to the Aries archetype of new adventures. The Sun is exalted in Aries, which fuels the instinct for new starts, assertiveness and a competitive nature. 

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and in the Northern Hemisphere, we associate Aries with the Spring Equinox and the re-awakening of nature after the winter hibernation. Ruled by warrior Mars in Cancer, there's a drive to protect in this 6-month eclipse cycle. Defending the vulnerable or protecting what you care about are motivating factors of this new cycle. 

Solar eclipses are a temporary darkening of the light of consciousness, that often involve a karmic reckoning of sorts, particularly for leaders (Sun) and in this case war leaders (Aries). It's no wonder that 'Signal gate' is taking over the headlines which has much to do with the M...

Total Lunar Eclipse
Full Moon aligns:
March 13 at 11:54 pm PDT
March 14 at 2:54 am EDT
23 degrees Virgo/Pisces

The Full Moon of March 13-14 forms a Total Lunar Eclipse 'Blood Moon' in the discerning sign of Virgo. It will be mostly visible over the Americas and parts of Africa, East Asia and Europe. Lunar eclipses catalyze culminations, facilitate significant emotional processing, and offer profound clarifications. At a time of intense Piscean chaos and confusion, the Virgo Lunar Eclipse trine Uranus offers a moment of liberating clarity.

The collective energy reaches a fever pitch as the Full Moon aligns with the Lunar Nodes, forming a Lunar Eclipse. This particular eclipse highlights themes that have been developing since the Virgo New Moon of September 2, 2024, particularly within the areas of life governed by Virgo and the corresponding house in your natal chart. 

A focus on issues of health, duty, survival needs and shifting emotional desires are at the forefront of...

“Ultimately, the artist and the revolutionary function as they function, and pay whatever dues they must pay behind it because they are both possessed by a vision, and they do not so much follow this vision as find themselves driven by it. Otherwise, they could never endure, much less embrace, the lives they are compelled to lead.”

― James Baldwin

As the full moon ripens in the dramatic fire sign of Leo, it jolts the mind and heart as it forms a T-square with erratic Uranus. Leading up to the Feb 12 Full Moon, the Mercury-Uranus square on Feb 10 liberates the mental realm from business as usual. It's a time to shake things up from a sense of complacency of the mind and communication.

We may be compelled by a creative vision that insists on doing things in bold new ways. There's an electricity in the air which can be disrupting and exciting. Uranus-Mercury makes me think of the phrase "move fast and break th...

Scorpio New Moon

9 degrees Scorpio

Samhain is the traditional Gaelic festival from October 31 to November 1 which honors the harvest season before the months of darkness descend. The ancients believed these are days where the veil between worlds is the thinnest, a time to honor those who have departed, send them our prayers and ponder the great mysteries of the universe.

That this New Moon in Scorpio on Nov 1 falls during this ancient time of honoring the dead seems poignant and pivotal. As we celebrate Halloween with jovial festivities that make light of witches, ghosts and goblins, we unconsciously are allowing an acceptance of our own mortality. Many of the great spiritual masters have said that you must die in order to live, meaning an acceptance of death can bring more aliveness and gratitude to our experience of life. 

Scorpio season is the time when we descend into our own private shadow sanctuary. It is the realm of all that is hidden and su...

Pluto, Lord of the Underworld - a place where death reigns and riches buried deep underground lie - is stationary direct at the anaretic degree 29 of Capricorn.

The final degree of a sign intensifies the urgency to distill the experience of that archetype. As old structures disintegrate, they attempt to exert control before a metamorphosis occurs.

Pluto empowers yet also exposes corruption. Since 2008, Plutocratic elites, autocratic leaders and capitalist greed were emboldened.

In our own lives, our Capricorn house demanded discipline, increased responsibility and authority, yet now is a time to ask - what was all this hard work in service to? Where is the Soul in my goals and achievements? 

November 19, Pluto re-enters Aquarius saying goodbye to Capricorn, and the other Cardinal signs, for the final time. Pluto’s transit through Aquarius through 2043 will shift the urge for power to collective movements. As a fixed sign it will require sustained efforts and powerful determination in order...

For those of you who are interested in developing your astrology skills, consider joining me for the first cohort of the 6-month Monthly Mentorship Circle. An important part of the practice of astrology is observation and there is no better way to understand the expressions of the planets than to analyze their movements as they correlate to our own life experiences.

The Mentoring Circle is limited to 12 participants and includes a private online community where you can learn from one another and share your explorations and ask questions. To be eligible to join, you need to have a working understanding of astrology such as the planets, sig...
