Aries Solar Eclipse 2023: Selfishly Self-Aware

Where are we being too selfish? Where are we not being selfish enough? This Solar Eclipse in Aries is extreme—but stopping to pause & answer these questions honestly is key, if you want to channel the impulsivity & restlessness of this New Beginning wisely. Otherwise you risk being like Tracy Flick—riding roughshod over others at the expense of doing/getting what we want for ourselves—or, if we convince ourselves our lives are perfect, ending up like Mr. M, rushing unwittingly toward self-destruction.

Total Taurus Lunar Eclipse 2022: Financial Stresses and Romantic Messes

Although the current Scorpio-Taurus eclipse series of 2022 makes deepening commitments and fortifying our financial and emotional foundations the priority, there’s a sense of urgency to finalize an agreement of some kind that (we believe) will provide us with the sense of security we know we ultimately need.

Mars Retrograde in Gemini 2022: No Quick Fix

Learning to sit with feelings of inertia and indecision that cause us to act out of restlessness, frustration or moments of defeat is the major lesson of Mars’ extra-long transit through Gemini. The trick is to realize that indulging compulsive tendencies to take on more than you can realistically handle will only leave you feeling drained. But if you find yourself constantly frustrated or restricted when it comes to how you spend your time, is it possible that your long-term goals and everyday dealings just don’t align?

Solar Eclipse in Scorpio 2022: Transformation

The Scorpio Solar Eclipse on October 25 is a powerful one for starting fresh when it comes to love and intimacy. But just because love can feel breezy it doesn’t mean it’s easy; and while Intimacy is familiar, it isn’t a guarantee. Can Intimacy exist without Love? And if so, how high is too high a price to pay to trade Love for Intimacy altogether? Is comfort and familiarity better than the superficiality of inorganic interaction; or are we deliberating mistaking Intimacy for Love to meet our Life Goals more expediently?

World on Fire: Leo New Moon Horoscope

When Mercury in Leo clashes with Uranus in Taurus–exact on July 28–there are bound to be heated arguments, made even more explosive by Mars in Taurus’ conjunction with Uranus. Ironically, as explosive as the Mars-Uranus collision is with both planets operating in the signs of their Detriment (Mars in Taurus) and Fall (Uranus in Taurus), whatever disputes or stalemates that occur at could be characterized as “aggressively passive-aggressive.”

Taurus New Moon 2021: Sleeping Beauty

On 5.11 at 3:00 pm (ET), there’s a beautiful New Moon @ 21° of Taurus, offering us a crucial opportunity not necessarily to manifest, but to introspect.

Libra New Moon 2020: Sharp Objects

Libra is known as the Zodiac sign with the most affinity for building Significant Relationships. But don’t expect to begin any new ones—at least not right now, anyhow. Why?

Virgo New Moon 2020: Cruel Intentions

The best advice I can give with this backdrop is not to fall prey to the aggrandized visions (fantasies?) of a Certain Relationship you might be entertaining as a “way out” now, as Frustration isn’t exactly known to pair well with Damsel in Distress. The key to this New Moon? For once, it’s not the time to be cruel (there’s too much of that out there already). So just cool it and be kind.

Pisces Full Moon 2020: Toxic Humidity

If you want to succeed in the long run and avoid alienating yourself from your own long-term goals? It’ll be in your best interest to keep things aboveboard. Just put one foot in front of the other, as they say. And avoid any toxic humidity that might be clouding your judgment now—lest you end up booby trapped.

Leo New Moon 2020: Shooting for the Stars, or Shooting Yourself in the Foot?

The key to not setting yourself up for failure? Setting small, achievable goals and not giving away our energy in a whole-hog pursuit of capitulating to the needs of others, as this will only lead to seething resentment or outright rebellion is the way to avoid the many booby traps of this New Moon.

Cancer New Moon 2020 (#2): Shape Up or Ship Out

Saturn's potent influence on this Cancer New Moon chart has a stark “shape up or ship out” feel to it, pressing us to make amends, pay your dues or avoid “pushing your luck” while you’re ahead (or whatever). Plus, there’s a whole boatload of planets in Cardinal signs, hungry for Action & New Beginnings—especially on the Home & Family Front. Many will decide (or be forced) to move house with this New Moon, as its uncomfortably tight opposition to Saturn in Capricorn shines a light on whatever’s is or isn’t working for you anymore.

Aquarius Full Moon 2020: Clearing the Air & Embracing the Flail

The Sturgeon Full Moon on August 3 is the epitome of that never-ending Aquarius Paradox, hyper-aware of the gray area of life in its most abstract sense yet decidedly “black and white” if not seemingly detached in their approach to emotions. But with Aquarius it’s always a game of all or nothing—so there’d better be no hedging of emotional or financial bets when the moment comes to, ahem, self-express.

Capricorn Lunar Eclipse 2020: Cutting Out Toxicity

If you cut everyone and everything out of your life that creates even the mildest discomfort, where does that leave you in the end? Ahem, alone. So before you go waving your emotional scalpel around indiscriminately, make sure you examine your role in your relationships…Because apparently it takes two to tango. And who doesn’t want to tango, ya know?

Solar Eclipse in Cancer 2020: Manifestation Nation

With the Solar Eclipse in Cancer on June 21st in the midst of Mercury’s stationary Retrograde and Venus’ stationary Direct period, plus the impending Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn?

Mercury Retrograde in Cancer 2020: Sensitivity Training

The goal here is to better understand the way we engage (or refuse to) when confronted with the pain or perceived neediness of others—and to question whether their neediness is really a projection of our own tendency to codependency. So even though it’s not about manifesting our Manifest Destiny? This Mercury Retrograde in Cancer is an extremely rare opportunity to—no, not manifest—but “do the inner work,” as they say.
