Whether you're new to astrology or have followed it for years, it always helps to arrive a bit prepared for an astrology reading - and to get to know more about the astrologer you're entrusting your time with.

Here's my 8 Tips to Amplify Your Astrology Session with Me...

My Astrological Guidance Sessions are designed to help you gain clarity around some of your most challenging issues - those which will have an impact on your life and future.

While astrology is used as a guide, this is not an astrology tutoring session to learn everything you ever wanted to know about your past life, current lifetime and future potential - in 1 hour!

GEMINI NEW MOON
Monday, May 30, 2022
4:30 AM PDT / 7:30 AM EDT
9 degrees Gemini

Monday's Gemini New Moon brings eclipse season to a close and begins a month-long cycle of curiosity, learning and (re-)connection. Gemini season directs the focus to communication, information, ideas, networking, travel and multi-tasking.

As the New Moon is boosted by a sextile from Mars-Jupiter in Aries, motivation for new pathways for learning, networking and connecting are becoming available. And for those fired up by righteous causes, this may be a time to embark upon a crusade fueled by facts and sharpened intelligence.

Mercury, the ruler of Gemini is retrograde in Taurus until June 3 and in a square with Saturn which may continue to create a bit of a slow down in mental energy, decision-making and travel - especially as Saturn stations retrograde June 4.

But by the Sagittarius Full Moon June 14 Mercury will be direct and offer some long-awaited clarity and mental renewal, having re-entered its home ...

The Jupiter-Neptune alchemy is nearly exact as these planets of expansion fuse on April 12 at 23 Pisces. Allow serendipity to guide you through Wonderland.

A vast landscape is unfolding, signaling a new 12-year cycle in the realm of spirituality, inspiration, imagination and purification. As one dream dissolves a new one is beginning to form.

The last time these planets of imagination and possibility met in Pisces was in 1856, so this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that's been aligning in the skies and will continue to thrum well into May. However, Jupiter and Neptune conjoin approximately every 12-13 years, the last time was in May 2009 at 26 Aquarius, conjunct Chiron. Their next conjunction will be in 2035 in Aries.

While Jupiter expands, Neptune dissolves. Their manifestations can be amplifying or depleting, as Neptune symbolizes the spectrum from blissful euphoria to the depths of despair and disappointment. At its best, it's a wish fulfilled in divine timing.

Perhaps somethi...

Aries New Moon
April 1, 2022

11 degrees Aries

“Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.”
- bell hooks

Today's Aries New Moon has the sense of embarking upon a new adventure, integrating our humanity in the process. Aries is the Warrior and the Pioneer. As the Sun, symbolic of life force, is exalted in Aries, we begin a cycle of renewed courage and determination, allowing instinct to guide us.

This New Moon is conjoined to both Chiron, the Wounded Healer, and Mercury, the Messenger, suggesting a self-focus on personal goals. Chiron in Aries is the Wounded Warrior, whose tender wounds are hidden behind a defense of bravado. At this time, however, they may feel exposed for all the world to see yet if we're honest we recognize the wound in each of us and this recognition is what connects us to our humanity.

The other side of Chiron is the Maverick, the one who blazes their own trail departing from the known, the tried-and-true. As Chiron orbit...

VIRGO FULL MOON
Emotional Recalibration

Friday, March 18, 2022
12:17 am PT / 3:17 am ET
27 Virgo/Pisces

Tonight's Virgo Full Moon aligns with the archetype of purity and perfection, as well as the distortions and anxieties inherent in the striving for perfection, intensified by a trine to Pluto.

Friday, benevolent Jupiter finally emerges from under the Sun's beams and we may feel a sense of hopefulness arising.

The Virgo Moon opposes Neptune which may make us highly sensitive. Emotional distortions and anxieties such as having too many tasks to complete with not enough bandwidth to cope. Or misunderstanding others' intentions which may not even be based upon truth or reality. Fortunately, this won't last long if we can allow the temporary paranoia to subside.

The Moon in Virgo tends to find grounding and soothing when focusing on one task at a time, which tames the chaos into practical, clean order.

Realizing the world won't fall apart just because something remains undone or imperfect can he...

PISCES NEW MOON
Silver Linings

12 degrees Pisces

I once asked a bird,
'How do you fly in this gravity of darkness?'
And she replied 'Love lifts me up.'
-Hafiz

As I mentioned in a previous post about Venus as the Morning Star, the ancients saw the goddess of love transition into the warrior goddess in this phase of her journey, which tragically we're seeing play out now in an actual war in Ukraine as its citizens valiantly fight to defend their sovereignty.

Witnessing such devastation is emotionally and psychically shattering and I send my most heartfelt prayers to the heavens for all who are impacted by these horrific events. May peace and healing ultimately prevail, as swiftly as possible.

And while it's difficult to predict, we search for signs that our prayers for peace will be answered. Today's New Moon in compassionate Pisces is conjoined to expansive Jupiter and sextile radical Uranus, influences of massive shifts and breakthroughs whi...

LEO FULL MOON
Brave Heart

Wednesday, February 16, 2022
8:56 am PST / 11:56 am EST
27 degrees Leo / Aquarius

Today's Leo Full Moon is a time to unleash our boldness and invoke a Brave Heart. Leo's symbol is the Lion - the king of the jungle, whose power and authority is unquestioned. Ruled by the Sun, Leo brings radiance, warmth and creative fire into the world.

The Full Moon sets off a dramatic Grand Fixed Cross with the Lunar Nodes in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius in which transformation and creation is urgently needed to move forward. It's a time to gather our courage and express what's in our hearts. As we're at the mid-point between eclipses, events can have a profound impact on our destiny storylines.

In these Aquarian times, we're learning about the power of community and collective healing. Throughout most of 2022, there are no transits in Leo (until briefly from late July to early September when the Sun, Mercury and Venus pass through), yet plenty of planetary activity in the othe...

"All you need to know is that the future is wide open
and you are about to create it by what you do."
- Pema Chodron

Today's Aquarius New Moon falls on the Chinese Lunar New Year - Year of the Water Tiger - which heralds a fresh start to a year of following your intuition with courage and passion.

January may have felt like the practice run to the start of 2022, as both Venus and Mercury were retrograde, drawing our attention to past issues that called for reflection and resolution. Now, as Venus has recently gone direct and Mercury prepares to follow suit, eyes and hearts are coming into focus and peering toward the future.

This New Moon is an opportunity for a new beginning - one that calls for a commitment to innovation, reform and sustainability as it joins responsible Saturn in inventive Aquarius.

The Sun is separating from a square to disruptive Uranus and is heading toward a conjunction with disciplinarian Saturn. The Saturn-Uranus square that featured for much of 2021 is once again ...

CANCER FULL MOON
Transformative Potency

27 degrees Cancer / Capricorn

Cancer Full Moon Themes
Emotional security needs, desiring comfort/familiarity,
Empowered ego drives, cathartic expression, urges for freedom

Insight:
"Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.

Monday's Cancer Full Moon is a climax of powerful transformative forces. The Moon is in its sign of rulership in Cancer, it will likely bring forth emotional neediness. Cancer craves comfort and the security which comes from the familiar. I write this from my cozy home office as a snowstorm intensifies outside my window and I sense the craving for security while the powerful forces of nature are gathering.

The Sun's polarity in Capricorn suggests a balance between stoic responsibility and emotional reactivity. Today the Sun conjoins with powerful Pluto - and if ...

It's tricky when there's a Mercury retrograde just after the New Year. Just as we're embarking on a new chapter, we find that our attention turns inward and backward. Perhaps we run into glitches that require we re-think our plan, or revise our strategy.

Mercury - the planet of communication - stations retrograde in Aquarius for it's 3-week 'backward' transit, January 14 - February 3. Yes, you can expect glitchy Zoom meetings, webinar snafus, and plenty of trickster antics that can make our more tech-dependent lives exasperating.

Keeping calm, collected and focused can be a challenge when our nervous systems also feel zapped by the trickster god. But it also presents us with certain gifts as well.

Mercury retreats just before it reaches disciplinarian Saturn, so before we commit, we need to rethink Aquarian concepts and ideas. Aquarius often signifies groups, networks, technical innovations and social causes - these areas may especially need revising. Mercury rx can open the door to forme...
