May 20—The Sun drives his chariot through Gemini from May 20 to June 19. Gemini, like Mercury himself, is a tricky sign to fully grasp. Gemini Sun Walt Whitman captured it best when he wrote: “Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.” It’s as if Gemini’s […]

As I listened to @thisjungianlifepodcast episode on introversion yesterday morning, I thought about Jupiter’s two mutable domiciles: wanderlusting Sagittarius and mystical Pisces. In Sag, Jupiter is a more extroverted version of himself. The world is his oyster. The quest is OUT THERE. It’s different for the more introverted Pisces. There’s certainly a quest, but it’s a

May 11 at 2:00pm Central—The second week of May delivers a cornucopia of delights, almost as if to fortify us for the upcoming eclipse season and the Saturn-Uranus 2nd square just around the corner. We have an adrenalizing Mars-Uranus sextile, Jupiter entering Pisces, a powerful Mercury making a stabilizing trine to Saturn, and this exalted

I recently came across this lithograph by Frida Kahlo entitled Frida and the Miscarriage. It’s part of the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection of 20th Century Mexican Art and the Vergel Foundation. The accompanying text reads “The work is a wrenching reminder of how closely intertwined her work often was with her personal experiences. In

Anyone who has adopted a street dog knows they need a little extra care, compassion and training. Having braved the mean streets as pups, they learned survival skills like eating dirty disgusting scraps off the ground, extreme timidity and/or being Extra Alpha so nobody will hurt them. Monday’s Full Moon at 7° Scorpio is a

Venus leaves the boxing ring of Aries today for three+ weeks of forest bathing in her nocturnal domicile of Taurus. The last 23 days might have been rough on Venus as she socialized, beautified, related and attracted by Mars playbook which fundamentally contradicts her preferred style. Yet, Venus is Venus wherever she goes, and in

Those of us with mutables around 19-23 degrees might feel as though our productivity has been hijacked by a hot air balloon. We know in theory what we would like to accomplish but it’s so. far. away. Hard aspects between Mars and Neptune are like trying to run while dreaming or reading a billboard through

Mercury leaves the House of the Undying tomorrow and enters Dragonstone. After spending the past 18 days with his scrying mirror and nebulous dream-talk, his communication style dries off enabling direct (if not sharp) speech, driving the point home. It’s the difference between warlock Pyat Pree and Mother of Dragons Daenerys Targaryen. The first hisses

What to do when Mercury—the fishing line cast out to hook some tangibles—delivers whale sound? Mercury in Pisces conjunct Neptune delivers the entire web of associations: the chairs on the Titanic, bottles and their messages, the musings of a 16th century fisherman. It can be challenging to extract the fish from the Neptunian haul. That’s

Sunday’s Full Moon in Libra brings a certain amount of clarity around the viability of relationships. Where are we doing our part? Where are we compromising too much or not enough? Have we been self-absorbed and clueless to the hopeful expectations of others? Or on the other hand: have we felt out of balance, perhaps
