When I was in Chiapas a few weeks ago, “soul loss” came up several times. Soul loss occurs when a piece of you disassociates and becomes “lost” in reaction to some kind of trauma–accident, abuse, scare. Mothers in this part of Mexico will swing their little ones, calling out their names when they fall or […]

Singer songwriter Tom Waits has a song, “What’s he building in there?” which reminds me of the Virgo Show going on in the heavens this week. What are they building in there? Fresh from Leo’s summer camp, Mars-Venus-Sun all went into the workroom of Virgo last week, where they rolled out the whiteboard and started

My mother grew up on a farm in Argentina alongside 14 siblings, pigs, cows, chicken, horses, bees, sheep, skinny dogs and dozens of crops they grew, including the Yerba Mate trees which were harvested once a year. It was grueling work harvesting yerba mate. An all night job – timing was everything. The entire family

Early Wednesday morning (4:00am Central) Venus trades in her dramatic extensions and midnight vixen eyeliner for intelligent frames and tailored slacks, basically moving from an Amy Winehouse vibe (Venus in Leo) to Scully #xfiles (#GillianAnderson V in V). Venus in Virgo pays attention to details. She connects with thoughtful acts of kindness, like surprising you

There’s a shift in the air as Mars leaves the warm radiance of heart-centered Leo and steps into the pure efficiency of gut-led Virgo. Taking the lead, Mars—the first planet in the Party of 4—to roll up his sleeves and begin hitting the To Do list which could include setting up a new exercise routine,

Venus is reborn today as she joins the Sun at 21° Leo, starting a new Venus cycle. When she is within 1° or 17 minutes of the Sun—depending on the astrologer—she is said to be in the “Heart of the Sun” or Cazimi, amping up her power as a super-juiced, purified and reinvigorated Venus. A

We’re shifting gears today as Jupiter stations direct at 14 Sag, Uranus stations retrograde at 6 Taurus, and Mercury re-enters Leo to join Venus, the Sun, and Mars all celebrating in the Sun’s sign. The Sagittarius and Pisces areas of our life—ruled by Jupiter—might have been on the table, getting measured, edited, and planned on.

The Five of Pentacles appears when there’s a contraction around finances, our values, and our connection to Earth. We usually associate this card with poverty, a scarcity mindset, and worry about the future. I’m in San Cristobal de las Casas right now (a few hours from the Guatemalan border), and despite the real struggle for

In Judgement (or Awakening as other decks call it) we understand that everything was always working for us, that we were never alone, and that if it hadn’t happened exactly as it did, we wouldn’t be here now: woke and dripping with gratitude. It’s no surprise that Pluto rules Judgement. Pluto’s principles are the shadow.

Venus in Leo will square Uranus in Taurus early tomorrow morning (5am Central). Relationship issues might flare up at this time. Things we didn’t see coming might make a sudden appearance. Venus strives to bring us together, finding common ground and relatedness; in Leo, she does so with great panache. Anyone watch Killing Eve? I
