As June begins we see the influence of the square between Uranus and Pluto begin to wane somewhat, but the two will not... Read more
(This is one of many articles on the major planetary cycle occurring now between Uranus and Pluto. For more information about this phenomenon please review the short article in the sidebar and browse older articles on this site. ) The entry of Jupiter into Aries back in 2011 led to a string of rebellious acts around the world, not the least of which was the Arab Spring. Jupiter represents confidence and our ability to make grand gestures, and Aries is... Read more
I have always loved this poem by Mary Oliver which I posted back in 2007. These days it has even more significance as I ponder the life of my late mother. I have tried not to annoy you, dear readers, with a constant revelation of my every thought over the past six months dealing with the end of my mother’s life but the one constant is a deep regret at what I perceive as her living just a...

Art by Jo-Anne Mason, from the Savannah Gallery. Coming off of the intensity of the third Uranus/Pluto square, this Full Moon eclipse is less powerful than the solar eclipse at the New Moon for a variety of reasons. As an eclipse it is fairly week because the lunar nodes are 23 degrees from the lunation (the Sun and Moon), and in different signs. The proximity from the lunar nodes to the Sun and Moon are what typically creates an eclipse,... Read more
As if we might be tempted to forget about the seven phase cycle of the challenging planetary dynamic (square formation) involving Uranus and Pluto, the third phase was marked by a violent tornado in Oklahoma as the square formation reached exactitude yesterday, May 20th, at 2:45 pm local time. This tornado was graded an F-4 in intensity. Less than one percent of all tornadoes have been graded F-4. Uranus and Pluto will have made a total of seven exact alignments... Read more
image from Taranak’s blog. Over the next few days and leading up to the New Moon Eclipse on May 9th, transiting Mercury will make no fewer than seven exact hits to other planets in its march through early Taurus. Mercury is the planet that rules over the mind and the mental function, but also communication and movement. With Mercury activating this many planets, our minds will be active and energized by new thoughts and ideas and the necessity of adapting... Read more
News outlets are reporting that suicide rates for individuals aged 40-59 jumped over the last decade. The most pronounced jump was in the age groups from 50-54 and from 55-59 years old but there was also a big jump in suicides for those aged 60-64. (Full report from the CDC here.) Astrologically, this age group corresponds to the Pluto in Leo generation. Leo is the sign that needs to feel special, and no age group has been as determined to... Read more

Meanwhile, here is the overview for May: Over the past few months we have moved from a dreamy and creative emphasis in Pisces, through a fiery Aries stellium with lots of passion and incendiary events....

art by James Mesple. The mythological Chiron was a creature that was half man and half horse, so he is often lumped together with other Centaurs who share those physical attributes. Astrologers sometimes classify him as an asteroid (his original astronomical classification), and astronomers sometimes describe him as a comet because he exhibits comet-like behavior. You can read more about Chiron’s classification here in this earlier post. The Centaurs of Greek mythology were actually tribes of beast-like men who roamed... Read more
[There is] the arising of something new in humanity. I sometimes call it the unconditioned consciousness. But it is also a field of stillness, where you see the torn roots of the human mind. Once it emerges, it’s a process that cannot be reversed. It emerges more and more fully, and you become less and less identified with the structure of thought. And then thought is no longer dysfunctional. It is actually beautiful. It can be used for helpful... Read more
