The Moon will be full today, Saturday March 19th, at 2:10 pm EDT. The Moon is full in Virgo, and it is opposite the Pisces Sun in the sky. The Virgo/Pisces polarity relates to a blending of our experience of life in the material world (Virgo) with our desire to seek a more transcendent experience (Pisces). As you probably know, this Moon is a Supermoon (® Richard Nolle) and is closer to the Earth than other times of the year... Read more
Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional, nor do I have training in the medical fields. However, I have a strong interest in the way energy works in the body as described by astrological symbolism. I had never heard of Nate Dogg, who recently died at the age of 41 after suffering from a series of strokes, until I heard about his passing on the news. It was his age, 41, which grabbed my attention since that is the age... Read more
Art by Jim FitzPatrick. Every now and then I do think about things that are not astrological in nature, and occasionally I like to indulge those wanderings in this blog. So please forgive my digression as I delve today into the meaning of St. Patrick’s Day. I am a bit of a freak about Ireland (also West Africa, but that’s another story for another time). I love the music, am thrilled by the legends and mysterious beauty of the country.... Read more
In a stunning display of astrological synchronicity, it turns out that the reactor (known as Unit 3) in the Fukushima nuclear plant that exploded yesterday is more toxic than the other reactors because of the fuel that’s been used there. At a press conference in Tokyo, Masashi Goto, who worked for Toshiba as a reactor researcher and designer, said the mixed oxide (MOX) fuel used in unit 3 of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant contains plutonium, which is much more...

Astrology is back in the mainstream news, with articles like this that have been circulating the internet lately: The powerful tsunami that today slammed into Japan’s eastern coast comes just two days after warnings that the movement of the moon could trigger unpredictable events on Earth. Astrologers predicted that on March 19 – a week tomorrow – the so-called ‘supermoon’ will be closer to Earth than at any time since 1992, just 221,567 miles away, and that its gravitational pull...

I haven’t posted anything inspirational for awhile, and in light of the drama unfolding in Japan I thought perhaps today would be a good day to do so. This morning I used music by Douglas Spotted Eagle in my yoga practice and it reminded me of the tragedies that form the underpinning of the (mostly) comfortable life we have in the United States today. Yet the Native American people possessed such natural wisdom and grace, despite the decimation of their... Read more
Anyone who has been reading this blog will remember that when Pluto (the destroyer/renewer) entered Capricorn, the Earth sign of material stability, I (and other astrologers) predicted that when Uranus, the planet of radical change, entered Aries and began to form a challenging square to Pluto that earthquakes, pole shifts and other earth changes were likely to occur. Right on schedule, with Uranus entering Aries today, the largest earthquake ever to hit Japan (8.9 magnitude) struck today, resulting in a... Read more
Could the timing be more synchronistic? Uranus enters Aries on Friday March 11, and a Day of Rage wave of protests is planned for Saudi Arabia on that day. Aries is the sign that is ruled by Mars, the god of warfare and aggression. Aries teaches courage and assertiveness, and Uranus rules radical change and the breaking down of the status quo. Uranus in Aries is a combustible mix! You may remember when Jupiter moved into Aries and triggered protests... Read more
Uranus will change signs this week, moving into Aries on Friday March 11th. Because Uranus rules sudden changes and shocking events, when it changes direction or changes signs it often signifies a radical shift in financial markets. With the stock market reaching historic gains, some analysts are debating that we are approaching another bubble, and others argue that the market is more normal now after two years of artificially low prices. The shift from Uranus into Aries is likely to... Read more
This is the conclusion to a three-part article. You can catch up on Part I here, and Part II here. The gods are kind and they will be gracing us with a number of powerful harmonious transits to accompany the stressful times. Chiron (the Soul Healer) and Neptune (the Soul Teacher) both move into Pisces this year where they will offer a direct line for us to communicate more directly with our own inner guides and teachers. This process will... Read more
