Jupiter has been retrograde in Cancer since November 11, 2025. Jupiter takes about 12 years to circle around the sun, so he spends approximately 1 year in each sign. He arrived in Cancer last summer in June and will slip into Leo this coming July. Jupiter is all about optimism, higher learning, travel and expansion.Continue reading “March 10, 2026”

On this eve of the Solar Eclipse of February 17, 2026 at 4.01 am PST, I am contemplating the Sabian Symbol for the degree 28 Aquarius, 30 minutes. The Sabian Symbols are mini parables or concepts, written for each of the 360 degrees of the zodiac. This symbol is titled:  A butterfly emerging from aContinue reading “Eclipse February 17, 2026”

Today we have a new moon in 28 degrees Capricorn – a Saturn-ruled sign. In the past month we have been in the energies of practicality, responsibility and cold facts. January is often a time of reviewing the budget, list of supplies and commitments. This new moon can be a grounding cord, a boundary markerContinue reading “Gearing up for 2026”

Deep, lasting change takes time. That sentence, translated in astrology speak would be: deep (Pluto) lasting (Saturn) change (Uranus) takes (mars) time (Saturn). In November ’24, just a year ago, Pluto arrived in Aquarius to stay. Only then could we say goodbye to the sign of established control that is Capricorn. Since 2008, Pluto hadContinue reading “Deep Change”

The news and events on the world stage are indicative of, and in concert with the movements and relationships of the planets in our solar system. The “outers” – Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn – are all on the move. All are very slow-moving and regularly spend time in retrograde motion, so changing signs isContinue reading “Uncharted Territory”

Mundane Astrology looks at world news, politics, economics, etc. In recent years I have tracked the big events like 911, JFK, Fukushima, etc., but not on a daily basis. I have kept an eye on the charts of US, Canada and a few other countries. Here was the surprise: the commonly known chart of CanadaContinue reading “Questioning Canada’s Identity”

So, What’s New? What’s Now? As cycles go, today, the stat holiday, has little to do with the weather, sleep patterns, relationships, rate of growth or activity. You might have a nice fresh calendar or new socks from Santa to mark the occasion  – hopefully not a hangover. So far this decade, it has feltContinue reading “What’s New? What’s Now?”

I have begun writing a newsletter several times over the last week. I wanted to title it “Optimism Incoming”, but then I decided it was more important to talk about mercury retrograde. Another interesting subject is that we begin transiting Ophiuchus today. Also, tonight is the new moon conjunct Antares at 9 Sagittarius. Antares –Continue reading “Ophiuchus”

Venus the pentagram, so bright, rising and falling, here and gone………. There are so many specialties and areas to drill down in the study of astrology. I recently took some time to dive into The Venus Star Point. This is different from the placement of venus in your chart by sign and house. Our earthContinue reading “Venus Cycle – When you wish upon a star”

November 5th is kind of like Christmas. Whatever your leanings, it’s a promise of better days once that event is behind us. Hope builds. We feel anxiety, impatience and tension. I’m sure there are many who are waiting to make important life changes according to the result or at least once the result is known.Continue reading “Kali Yuga Oct 30, 2024”
