Floating between winter and spring, this month is a time for being, not doing. With a majority of planets drifting in the dreamy sign of Pisces, March is a good time to rest so you can charge ahead in April. Historically, March is a time for taking it easy, waiting out the winter, as well as for some restorative expression. This is when we drift into the oceanic depths of the collective unconscious and dream with the sea creatures. Poetic …

With a party of planets touring the collective sign of Aquarius this month, we’ve got to find a way to come together. What’s going on? Mercury retrograde through the humanitarian sign alongside a planet majority, plus the Sun and new moon, asks us to bring some understanding here today. We can all get what we need from the month of February if we take to heart the nearly lost Irish tradition of meitheal and gather together in our communities to …
Fasten your seat belts folks, the road into the new year is still a bumpy ride. As law and order Saturn faces off with avant-garde Uranus, the sign of the goat kicks off 2021with an unexpected jolt. We leave the wreckage of 2020 behind as all the personal planets shift into new signs, bringing new ways of feeling and thinking about our tasks, gifts, and dilemmas. It’s time to repurpose the usable debris and envision a new phase of rebuilding …
It’s full speed ahead into the Age of Aquarius—there’s a new world coming. Inspired by a total solar eclipse mid-month and amplified by an era-defining parlay between power planets Jupiter and Saturn on the winter solstice, the year closes with a fresh horizon coming into view. With all the planets save one (Uranus goes direct in January) moving forward now, a total solar eclipse mid-month, and “The Great Conjunction” of Saturn and Jupiter at the winter solstice, we’re standing at …
Fall backward to move forward; it’s a wait-and-see-deeply month With Mercury shorting out the grid and Mars still stalled until the middle of the month, we’re not out of the weeds yet With tech trickster Mercury still in his backward motion, turning forward on Election Night (!), the month begins with nail-biting uncertainty. Whether you spent Halloween doing the monster mash on Zoom, rigging up a candy chute to safely dispense zombie skittles to trick-or-treaters, or mailing in your ballot, …
Full moons light it up from both sides of the month as Mercury joins Mars on the retrograde stage. With a full Harvest Moon on the first and a rare Blue Moon on Halloween bookending the retrograde drama, it’s wise to wait in the wings and get ready for your next act. As heat waves continue to roll through the West, tropical storms flood the South and drought depletes reservoirs in the Northeast, the pressure builds beyond the red zone …
A Mars retrograde this month means a timeout. As the Red Planet shifts into reverse, take any opportunity to rest, regroup, and rethink your strategy. Every two years or so, the God of War appears to move backward in the sky, stopping forward motion and turning our desires (and rage) in on themselves. With Mars grinding to a halt and then slowly rolling backwards in September (from the 9th to November 13th) we will all face challenges maintaining an even …
Fiery planet Mars turns up the heat on Leo’s roar, intensifying the drama. Fiery planet Mars turns up the heat on Leo’s roar, intensifying the drama. Whoa, can you feel the shift? With the Venus and Mercury retrogrades in our rearview mirrors along with the summer eclipses, we finally catch a break! Leo season is here and as the Sun embraces its home sign-making this a bright, passionate time of year, we can bravely march toward our goals. Outgoing and …
Dynamic Mars shifts into gear, undaunted by Mercury retrograde just in time for one more eclipse in this wildly unfolding story. After weeks of slowdown, followed by the twists and turns of eclipse season, the energy runs high in July as Mars, planet of action, races into its home sign of Aries, where it will settle for the next six months. Nimble Mercury has been taking the scenic route through the sensitive sign of Cancer (until the 12th), where he’s …
With two eclipses and six planets in reverse this month, June presents a wild ride of twists and turns. A backward-moving Mercury joins the cast of retrograde planets amid a sequence of emotionally charged eclipses in which the curtain comes down on an old storyline and sets the stage for a new drama to unfold. The month begins with a lunar eclipse in passionate Sagittarius (on June 5th), opposing a Venus retrograde in wily Gemini and bookended by a solar …
With four planets in reverse this month, the pace slows down even more, if you can believe it. Perhaps most notably, Venus, goddess of love and money takes the scenic route through Gemini, turning love in the time of coronavirus into an inside job. Six weeks and counting into socially isolating, those of us in the Northern Hemisphere gaze through our widows at the trees leafing out and birds bringing treats to their hatchlings, yet with three outer planets and …
Spring is bursting out at the seams this month as we hit pause and stay in Hunkering down and hibernating not only enables us to ebb the virus but to adjust our rhythms and reset our values in this new reality. As outward movement slows down and we practice physical distancing, our focus naturally shifts inward. We have greater opportunity to become better acquainted with ourselves and consequently, better equipped to reach out and support each other in meaningful ways. …
Spring’s not fully sprung; we must first wipe the sleep from our winter-weary eyes Little steps and small bites help us digest the furious energies ahead this month. March Madness indeed. Here in California, there are signs of Spring everywhere as plum blossoms, daffodils, and hyacinths abound yet this is still a time of transition. With Mercury still in its retrograde period until the 10th making its murky emotional path through the sensitive sign of Pisces, we are held back …
