May you live in Interesting Times!

Storm warning!!   This weekend, as Uranus  the Awakener,  exactly squares Pluto the Transformer, we reach the first peak in what will be several years of intense restructuring of both ourselves and our environment.  The last few days have been getting edgier and edgier, as the square becomes exact tomorrow. As these two powerful planets  butt heads again and again over the next couple of years,  the ripples in the cosmic pond will be radiating out for a long time to come. The most intense effect of this first clash will  remain strong all this coming week, so be advised. I believe we will look back on this time with the same interest as we now do the sixties or other pivotal moments of social upheaval. This upheaval may be manifesting in your own life as well, as the urge to change and the resistance to that same urge create powerful tension within and without. Both Uranus and Pluto bring sudden change; where and how will depend on their location in your chart. It coul

New Moon in Gemini (again)

It feels like things are accelerating at an significant rate since last month's eclipses and the Venus transit.   As we rush through the rest of June and into July there are increasing cosmic changes in the air.   If you are feeling a bit ragged, or unusually tired or exhilarated, its because we are undergoing such rapid changes to our psychic framework and how we experience/view the world.  Jupiter moved into Gemini on June 11 th , super-charging Communication and all things relating to the Mind for the next year.   This Tues, June 19th, we have the second New Moon in Gemini this month, rather appropriate for the sign of the twins, and then the Summer Solstice (Northern Hemisphere) arrives on June 20 th , the day after the New Moon.   On June 24 th we reach the first exact degree of the infamous square of Pluto and Uranus.   ( sorry, I previously said the 20 th …) This particular aspect marks the current time as one of intense transformation and revol

Today, June 4 2012 there is a partial lunar eclipse of a super Full Moon (extra large and close to earth) sitting at 14 degrees Sagittarius. Just before sunrise EDT and around midday GMT, the circular shadow of the earth will cover a portion of the Moon’s surface. Then, the following days of June 5 th and 6 th , we are being treated to a rare transit of Venus at 15 degrees Gemini, where it can be seen (with proper viewing glasses) as a black dot passing over the face of the Sun. This event won’t happen again in this century and in combination with so many other powerful markers occurring at this time, brings a powerful message of peace to our somewhat beleaguered and weary planet. Just to add some spice to the mix, soon after these events,   the Moon slips between the Earth and Pluto to add extra wham-bang to this packed and powerful astrological sky. After an extended period of delays and blockages due to various retrograde planets, we are now stepping fully into
