Play or Penance?

This may have been a tricky weekend for many. The Sun in Virgo is urging us to focus in and get things done, while Neptune sitting opposite is blurring our attention and distracting us with fantasies and dreams.  Neptune activates our creative urges as well, and if we can get those to meet in the middle with Virgo, something concrete and beautiful can result. The Moon (our emotions)  is hanging out with Mars (action) and Saturn (boundaries) in Scorpio (depth) and all of them together agree strongly with the need to get to the work at hand.   Then again, with Jupiter in   Leo (play), personal enjoyment could take precedence over work   or details. Which one was it for you? The Moon in Scorpio (serious) square Venus in Leo (me, me, me) has added inner stress and tension around our social and intimate relationships. Venus in Leo's sense of entitlement 'wants what she wants' and will accept no substitutions. Moon in Scorpio has no patience for th

Have you noticed a sharpness in the air this past week accompanied by the (sad) feeling that summer is ending?

If we plant our intentions in the soil of hard work and clarity something wonderful is sure to result. Sitting at the same exact degree in Virgo, the Yin energies of the Moon and the Yang forces of the Sun merge together to form a potent seedtime, where we get to plant new intentions and set new goals for the coming month. Virgo is a perfectionist who likes efficiency and organization. She can be highly critical because she wants us to pay attention to details and get our shit together.   A New Moon here will fine tune our planning strategies as it gets us making lists and s

Full Moon in Aquarius: We are all in this together!

  This Sunday’s Super Moon is the closest Moon to the earth of the year…(called perigree)   and will appear significantly bigger than usual. it occurs In the sign of Aquarius at 7pm EDT 9 pm GMT etc. This Full Moon in Aquarius taps into the sacred feminine as well as our collective angst, and we will need our deepest inner strength and courage (Sun in Leo) to overcome feelings of discouragement and despair. (Sun and Moon squared Saturn in Scorpio) The Moon in Aquarius links us to all humanity and asks us to step out of our self-centeredness (Leo) into a greater awareness of others (Aquarius). The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is the latest horrific example on the global scale of our need for all of the above… as human beings continue to run amok and kill each other (and particularly women and children)   in droves. It can be more than depressing to watch fellow human beings get destroyed by automated drones designed to totally shred whatever they come in co
