I'm not a typical Libra. I was raised by two Aries. You know, those Mars people are half feral. At the very least. Going, doing, headbutting problems out of the way as they arise. We ran as a pack, the three of us. On the water, in the woods, in the yard, down hills covered in snow. Aries doesn't sit still much and, of course, they were dragging me with them. Not that I minded. I loved all our adventures. Which is what they were to me. It's really funny though. My Mom and Dad were never athletic in school. But, they were two of the most physically active folks that I have ever met in my life. My father would endure physical labor all day holding tight to a work ethic the likes of which I've not seen since. He made it look easy in a way one would not expect. Tall, lanky and lean. His wirey frame did not give indication toward his strength. But, it became obviously clear once you witnessed the man work. My mother is a fairy. She likes to think of herself as a spitfire. B...

It served my heart well to see all the Pisces energy in this chart contained in the 6 th house. Of course, this is a chart for the Full Moon (see chart below) as it occurs in Washington, DC. The house positions shift due your location. But, still, I'm glad to see it organized in such a way at the capitol of my country. In my opinion, Virgo energy is exactly what Pisces needs and vice versa. The problem in this chart is that Virgo is wildly outnumbered and her ruler, Mercury, is steeped in the Piscean mix. She will have a lot of work to do in regard to sorting things out. At first glance it looks as if she has just found all the socks that ever disappeared from the washer dumped right in her lap. They've all magically reappeared and now she pulls out the mateless sock box and tries to match this hoard of foot coverings soon becoming completely covered up with them on her lap, strung across the bed and still some lingering in the box as she tries to make sense of it all. Yet, t...

Monday, February 19, 2018 Jupiter in Scorpio and a stellium in Pisces. Yes. There are plenty of other planets and bodies “up there.” These two water signs, though, are grabbing my attention over and above our active Warrior Moon. Why? Because these two signs can “smell your intentions.” Folks with an abundance of Neptune and Pluto (such as a stellium in Pisces along with Jupiter in Scorpio mix like we have going on) feel their way around in the world. They seep into a room allowing their body to pick up on the nuances that tell them about their atmosphere. They are leviathans. Lumbering creatures of the deep. Doesn't necessarily give them a vicious demeanor. Often they are the gentle giants of the world but it does give them an ethereal sense and an ability to feel without having to see. Instinctual. Visceral. All absorbent. Quiet. In the shadows. Lurking. Sometimes, when a person has this ability to feel the fear of a person they can 1) take that fear on as their own or 2) use the...

Monday, February 12, 2018 This week, we begin the thaw. I mean this in terms of the astrological weather. But, that often coincides with the actual weather. You see, this week, the Sun and Mercury both follow Venus into the sign of Pisces leaving the frozen, metallic but sparkly world of Aquarius. These bodies dissolve into open waters. Venus entered the sign last Saturday. Plus, the Moon swims with the fishes following our New Moon in Aquarius midweek. This is the time in my neck of the woods that, though it still may snow, it feels different than when it snows in the dead of winter. Usually the snow is wet and doesn't hang around long. You may begin to see the emergence of crocus or even a few promising buds in the trees. Birds begin busily choosing trees for their nest building...the Earth slowly begins to re-enliven. It's a magical time, really. In which Mother Nature is the magician sparking something new back to life nearly everyday. image credit: JOHN SLOANE For us, it ...
