Deep Change
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 had…
Keep readingUncharted Territory
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 is…
Keep readingQuestioning Canada’s Identity
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 Canada…
Keep readingWhat’s New? What’s Now?
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 felt…
Keep readingOphiuchus
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 –…
Keep readingVenus Cycle – When you wish upon a star
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 earth…
Keep readingKali Yuga Oct 30, 2024
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.…
Keep readingFall Equinox Sept 22, 2024
Fall Equinox marks the entry of the Sun into Libra, (an air sign) sign of cooperation, balance, harmony, fair play, equality and relationship. It is fitting that the hours of night and day equalize at this time. We leave behind the energy of Virgo/earth, the garden and make our way toward the next sign of…
Keep readingNeptune in Pisces
Neptune rules Pisces. Both have to do with smoke and mirrors, the unconscious and the field of consciousness. It’s imagination, ideals, dreams, drugs and illusions. Neptune is the veil and the spirit. The visual that comes to mind when describing this transit is a picture hanging on the wall of Robin Williams’ office in the…
Keep readingSun entered Gemini on May 20 at 5:59 am PDT, moves into Cancer on June 20 at 1:51pm PDT
When the Sun is in Gemini, the mood is light. It’s a great time to go to a concert or a dance. You may find that some of the musicians are Gemini’s. Gemini is a mutable air sign. People with this sign often like to ask questions, make sense of things, pull them apart and…

Keep readingDont Quit your Day Job
There are some nice connections between planets coming up in the next few days. Astrologers have been looking forward to April 20 as one of the biggest game-changers in 2024. Jupiter, which has a 12-year cycle, meets up with Uranus, which has an 84-year cycle. They will conjoin in the sign of Taurus which covers…
Keep readingTime for Healing
Chiron is such an interesting feature in the natal chart. This comet/asteroid was discovered in 1977, just when alternative healing and supplements were getting popular. As much of astrology is based on mythology, there is great wealth of detail to draw on for interpretation. He is certainly a maverick who thinks outside the box and…
