There was a lot of speculation prior to last month’s New Moon/total solar eclipse about what might happen. Earthquakes? Martial law? Impeachment? Certainly, the nasty conflagration in Charlottesville was related to the eclipse, as well as assorted gnarly doings on high that still haven’t fully played out. But for what
Total Solar Eclipse: No Turning Back
The 45 revolver was huge – and surprisingly heavy. I struggled to hold it steady. When I pulled the trigger, the noise was deafening. I didn’t want to try again, but Laci insisted. He was determined that I learn how to shoot the gun. He was leaving soon for Budapest
Aquarius Full Moon: A Cone of Power!
The Cone of Power is a tried-and-true method of raising energy and making things happen. No matter how many times I participate in a Cone of Power, the moment of send-off never fails to thrill me. You can really feel the energy taking off! Wiccans (aka witches) of the
The Great American Eclipse Through the Signs
Read the forecast for your Sun sign, and if you know what house 28-29 degrees Leo falls in for you, read that as well. LEO/1st house: You could experience a radical shift in self-image, your relationship to your body or how you present yourself. Does your appearance express your essence?
July 23 Leo New Moon: The Happiness Challenge
“The day will come when, after harnessing space, the winds, the tides and gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love. And, on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.” –Teilhard de Chardin The right to happiness may
Capricorn Full Moon: Bones of the Ancestors
On Independence Day, I gathered with neighbors at a local park for the annual festivities. It was a sunny day, and people picnicked in the shade of lovely old trees while kids played games on the grass. I wondered how many of them realized that underneath lie the bones of
Cancer New Moon: A Time for Rebirth
The maternal instinct is astounding. Recently, a British Columbian bald eagle took a young red-tailed hawk under her wing to raise as her own. Since bald eagles and red-tailed hawks are natural enemies, she could just as easily have ripped him apart and fed him to her eaglets. So
Sagittarius Full Moon: The Hero’s Journey
Just when we need her most, Wonder Woman is here to save the day! And it’s no coincidence, cosmically speaking, that the archetype of Diana the Warrior Princess bursts on the scene via a rousing new film near Friday’s Sagittarius Full Moon, just as Jupiter, the Sagittarius ruler, turns forward
Gemini New Moon: Tame Your Mind
Not long ago, my computer was attacked by a malicious virus. I’d clicked on a link, and suddenly my entire system was in lock-down. At first I panicked, but then I remembered to breathe. At which point I contacted a tech-savvy friend who helped me disable the virus, and
Scorpio Full Moon: Manifest Some Cash!
We’re entering a portal of manifestation at the upcoming Scorpio Full Moon (Wed. May 10, 2:42 p.m. PDT). Never was there a more important time to conjure the life you truly want, and the means by which to create it. In this sneak preview from my forthcoming book, Moon Power:
Taurus New Moon: Getting Down and Dirty
Getting down and dirty with nature is the theme of Wednesday’s Taurus New Moon (April 26, 5:16 a.m. PDT). The Sun and Moon join in the earthy sign of Taurus, sextile gentle, compassionate Neptune. And, a Mercury-Uranus conjunction, exact that day, opens our minds and hearts to fun new activities and adventurous ways of viewing life.
Libra Full Moon: Think Pink
Indigenous Americans called this the Full Pink Moon because it coincided with the blossoming of wild pink phlox. Though it will not literally appear pink in the sky, this is still a special Moon. Take a few minutes to slow down and stand under Luna’s radiance. Reflect on what’s transpired lately and bless it all. Salute all your relations – from family, friends and special animals to pushy telemarketers and clueless politicians. The Libra Full Moon reminds us that beneath the surface, we are all one.
Aries New Moon: The Fighting Spirit
Think about the last few weeks (Venus turned retrograde in early March; it goes direct mid-April). Has your frustration with someone or something gotten so extreme that you’ve been having dark – even devious – thoughts? Have you lashed out in anger, or been the recipient of heated words? If so, it’s the handiwork of Venus in Aries – who’s not that comfortable in Mars’ impulsive sign, and can sometimes react blindly when feeling restrained.
Virgo Full Moon: Healing Our Waters
It’s time to clean up our inner and outer pollution. In the Northern Hemisphere, spring is almost here – do a thorough cleanse of your body and home. Allow yourself to weep, rage and release emotions that have been stuck within you, perhaps for years. Refuse that straw with your drink, use your own bags at the store, kick the bottled water habit, and don’t buy toxic cleaners or face scrubs with plastic micro-beads in them. Make your voice heard: Tell your representatives how you feel about water pollution. Together, we can make a difference!
Pisces Solar Eclipse: Hold Onto Your Horses!
But eventually you reach a do-or-die point in this process – and that point is now. The mother of all Pisces eclipses sweeps in on Sunday to end the series with a bang. The Pisces New Moon eclipse (Feb. 26, 6:58 a.m. PST) is conjunct Neptune (Pisces’ ruling planet), with the South Node and Mercury nearby in Pisces. A major ending is upon us, to clear the way for a new beginning. Look to the house where the eclipse falls in your chart for clues to what this might mean for you. In what area of your life has it become undeniable that there’s no turning back? What is that final leap of faith you need to take to set things right for yourself, others – or the world at large?
