August 16, 2009 — 2009 was the year Usain Bolt became known as the fastest man alive, thanks to his performance in the IAAF Athletics Championship in Berlin. AFP/Getty Images He’s wearing Jamaica’s colors green and gold! Chinese year Fire Tiger! Nickname Lightning Bolt!
Just as much as Aries is a terrific first responder, instantly reactive to what’s needed, breath by breath, so are they first to see what’s needed in world affairs – from politics to climate, your company’s systems, structures, how you treat your people, to home needs and what would work better in your garden. They are heady and brainy. They will give you super ideas, give you a head start, but don’t expect them to necessarily stick around and do the work. They will inspire you, ‘head’ you in the right direction, give you a nudge or a shove, and leave you to go on to their next exciting new challenge! In other words, listen good and quick, don’t miss your appt with them, they might not wait or be grumpy if they do. They are prime consultants. Respect. They have been around and seen a lot, what works and what doesn’t!
They are fab fast action coaches! Aries are red blooded athletes, being first is their DNA! They love racing around, often are wiry, have sleek short hair (no time for long or repeated tending), often wear a cap. Headgear is happiness, like those little camp head lamps with all the settings. Women wear light makeup if at all, prefer a more natural look. They are excellent at mechanics of all kinds. Fast and clever vehicles are their forte!
One man’s action can change the world! Mars is the planet of Aries. Jamaican retired sprinter Usain Bolt (BOLT a perfect name for a strong Mars starter man, right?!) is terrific inspiration for his people, young people worldwide! His Mars is in his fist house, Mars’ own house! As the planet and house of beginnings, he was super fast out of the blocks! That Mars is superlative in Capricorn – no wasted time or motion, determined, the Master! Wiki says: eight-time Olympic gold medalist, Bolt is the only sprinter to win Olympic 100 m and 200 m titles at three consecutive Olympics (2008, 2012, and 2016). If you are not an Aries, do check what sign and house your Mars is in and what is in your first house, the Aries house. If you are more feisty or outspoken than expected, those placements may tell your story!
Aries loves newborns! Aries colors are Red for their heart of Passion and White for purity, a certain childlike innocence at times. It stands for integrity, acting from core being. Getting the wee ones off to a good start is essential. Letting them experience life – make their own choices, have challenges, ‘failures’ that teach them, honors! This leads them to strength and independence in a good way. Aries doesn’t usually repeat, nor sit around moaning. If they fall, they get up! They need your confidence in them that they will find a better way! They are leaders even as young people. Give them autobiographies of famous adventurers, leaders that overcame their difficulties against long odds, those who have disabilities yet they become champions of their own situation.
Relationships for Aries are not necessarily easy even with other fire signs, nor Air signs. Leo likes attention and Aries just doesn’t stand still long enough. Sagittarius has wander lust and Aries doesn’t care. He goes where he wants when he wants. Air signs – Gemini is fidgety like Aries and Aquarius lives in his own creative world, may enjoy a visit, but both are so independent, an alliance is not likely. Libra likes finesse, Aries has no intention of being a people pleaser, can have a short fuse, but moves right along, doesn’t hold a grudge, no time, next. Earth signs too slow; water signs too wet, dampening the Spirit. Aries doesn’t seem to be trustworthy to more conservative signs. He doesn’t love to take orders unless there is high adventure, likely some danger, his courageous contribution appreciated!
Everybody loves him, however, when he takes up their cause! He has initiative, just check in from time to time to see if he’s still on course, needs anything. You go to him. Don’t get in his way or call him in interrupting his work. Let him work he may be there only a short time… Aries is one of the three signs that often don’t marry. More certainly like interests may bring you together and Aries needs a long rope. Fast infatuation and brief relationships are common. Once you are ‘conquered,’ he loses interest. However, also, there are times when charts match in other ways exceptionally well, plus have some other stabilizing factors in their charts! See your astrologer(s), ok?
Health! Aries rules the Head and face/eyes. Like, where are you headed?! Watch out for low branches. Head injuries – wear your helmet. Please. They don’t go anywhere slowly. Adrenals. You can overdo it and get really tired. Blood, anemia and blood pressure. Aries has an intense inner agenda. The pressure isn’t even about what others want of him, he wants to do his personal best every waking moment and during sleep too, LOL! Headaches are stress, fear of not succeeding. Pituitary gland, so important, only the size of a pea! Some Aries have brilliant red hair, very fair skin, are sensitive to sunburn, even have a ruddy complexion. Keep your muscles in good shape.
Soldiers of Spirit, Leading the Dawn of the Zodiacal Year, Spring Equinox! Vitality, fearless courage, gusto. Some Aries may lead from behind. It can be surprisingly powerful position. They show us the inner principles that inspire us. Some people call them a servant leader who sees to the team’s needs. Mark Grimshaw says: ‘ It is often associated with providing support, empowerment, and guidance to others, allowing them to take the lead while the leader works behind the scenes. This approach emphasizes collaboration, delegation, and trust in the abilities of others to achieve goals.’ The advantage to the leader is many ideas are brought into play and more cutting edge change happens!
At this time last year Aries was hosting Pluto’s entry into Aquarius with a five planets Stellium that included the New Moon, a Full Moon with a super conjunction, a second Full Moon rare Hybrid Eclipse! It was a phenomenal set! This year Pluto is in Aquarius until Sep 1 when it briefly returns to Capricorn’s last degree, until Nov 19. Then it’s back to AQ for 20 years! That 29th degree may be tough on any of you with factors in the last 3 degrees of any sign, but toughest for Cancer, Libra, Capricorn. Likely the most challenging for those of you born in the last 3 degrees of Aries! We have been at this degree combination twice before, and most of us made it. This will be the third and last time. Shore up any weak spots; strengthen your foundation for the future.
All in all, Aries are Leaders. They will be carrying the symbolic Olympic Torch for our world today and for each of us embarking on this new Pluto in Aquarius freedom journey.

Links to Ongoing Important, Long Term Major Aspects!

100 Days of FOUR Outer Planets sign changes in 2025! Be ready to make many adjustments throughout 2025! There are a LOT of aspects in 2025! No matter what you are doing or planning now, what you plan for each of them, as the signs change, so will your plans! Three of those sign changes are more long term and are the backdrop for the planets aspecting each other. Two of the planets and Pluto are higher consciousness planets. Some changes will just happen – no previous thought, as part of the ungovernable sweeping collective consciousness proceeding at its own level.
What we need to do now is finish up what we have going. Get ready for being able to be flexible, standing strong on our foundation.
What we want now will quickly be the past as new beginnings of all kinds require our full attention! With Pluto already having been in Aquarius, intense with new ideas, new perspectives are bursting forward inspiring us to fresh freedoms never had before or even anticipated. Genius ideas are worth doing, no going back! The old will be replaced by the new with no apologies. There will be fumbles, but no stopping. Things will go forward!
They will most strongly be felt by those of you with planets in the last 3 degrees of signs and the 0, 1, 2 and 3 degrees of a sign. In late degrees, you always live on the brink, bringing things to maturity, readying and setting the foundation for the leap into new territory. Those of you in those three earliest degrees are always eager for inspiring new beginnings, living on chances and exploration, being the first, sometimes pure and innocent! We will be trialing new ground. Give it a chance. Nothing will be settled right away. Creation is in full swing! Evolution continues.
Mar 30 Neptune, on its 168 year cycle, arrives in Aries, stays through March 2039!
May 24 Saturn goes into Aries too, a 29 year change, 2¼ to 2½ year stay!
June 9 Jupiter goes home into Cancer. Sign per year.
July 7 Uranus zips out of Taurus into Gemini, on an 84 year cycle, a 7 year sign shift.
It could easily take a year after that to make adjustments and settle into the changes and new wants.
With these planets on such differing lengths of cycles, how rare for them all to change signs in only 100 Days! If you thought things were popping with Pluto at only 2, 3 degrees Aquarius, wait until these change all at once and activate him more! Keep your eyes open and hang onto your sox!
Neptune and Saturn will be sextile from Aries. Uranus will be trine from Gemini. Three positive launch combinations support Aquarius in these early new times. Jupiter is skeptical from traditional Cancer, but sees the others doing well and soon feels safe to join in. After all, someone has to mind the store and the kids, keep everyone fed, give hugs to the hard workers, no matter how old or odd they are, LOL! Besides, Cancer is a great business person, especially with successful, fame and fortune Jupiter in her sign! Fun too!
Please, always remember these planetary combinations are what’s happening in the world. Check with your astrologer to seehowthey do, or don’t, activate your personal chart! Any of these outer planet factors may be activating your Sun and/or other factors in your chart. They may be difficult, may be rosy, maybe both!

Dec 26 Day after Christmas Cancer-Capricorn Full Cold Moon
Tuesday Dec 26 at 4:33 PM Pacific at 4 Cancer-Capricorn 58!
Treasures and Blessings! Memories, past life healings, some are being made right now! Have a precious Holiday and delicious Full Moon! Leftovers are the best, LOL!
Beautiful Full Moon Holiday image at Condé Nast Traveler! Post by David Jefferys December 24, 2015. Sorry, I couldn’t find the photographer’s name or the location.
Hope you got lots of love and some sweet prezzies yesterday! If things weren’t so good, bless you and do the best you can. Sometimes small gains have a surprising future. You’ve got a big hug, gentle if need be, from me right now ~
This Full Cold Moon is the first full moon of the 2023-2024 winter season and the first full moon after the winter solstice. For many, Winter Solstice is considered to be the astronomical New Year.
The Magical Full Moon Bow!
Mother Moon and Father Sun, such appropriate designations when Moon is in her own Sign Cancer, and is opposite Sun in the Father, Patriarchal sign Capricorn. Home and family, children are tended by Mama and Papa is making sure there is secure shelter, monies to support them all. They each offer their talents in behalf of the other and the little ones. Cancer Moon’s hoarding instinct is part of her talent, her photographic memory keeps accurate books, can return to the source and update. Capricorn Sun is a keen observer, and sometimes she can see through his eyes. She sees the importance and timeliness of his goals, and supports what he wants to build.
Two outer planets of opposite natures, Jupiter and Saturn, are working with them this time. Traveler, teacher, sporty Jupiter is hot but grounded in steadfast earthy Taurus. Saturn is not exactly his cool hard tough self in Pisces, but is harnessing the psychic and spiritual powers of Pisces, the etheric sign of the Dreamtime!
These characters are all closely connected in early degrees two through five. The Moon and Sun are opposite, the long red line that crosses the chart. That line is connected by three green lines – see them? That is the Bow Pattern, considered quite favorable, filled with opportunities. Cancer is quick on it, Capricorn sees the magic in it! Jupiter is fame and fortune, good luck. In Taurus he takes possession and anchors the potential immediately. Saturn is Capricorn’s planet, so he and Sun have camaraderie. They have a wizardly flavor and almost magically get the materials together, sing high praises, and it is practically a barnstorming event! Pisces brings his psychic skills to bear, and the Saturn time machine brings it all together at the right time. Yes, there will be some moments of Mercury retro delays, but even those will be dispersed into improved results!
Not only are the four planets all sextile each other but two fine trines are part of the scenario!
Sextiles connect harmonious signs of mixed elements and offer more opportunities! Moon to Jupiter might surprise you and not mind traveling or moving. Jupiter in Taurus like comfy and convenient circumstances, so a trip like that might be enjoyable. Cancers are forever scholars and Jupiterians are educators and publishers! Together they could have an excellent local business of foods, cheeses, restaurant, bed and breakfast, conference site. They would serve big city guests at their prime location.
Moon trines Saturn of her opposite sign Capricorn, so she feeds him, shares doing business with him, and he in Pisces, is also a sensitive water sign. They are psychic together, empathic and caring. Each has personal struggles, so there is a genuine camaraderie without judgment.
Sun, Father Sun, and Saturn, Father, Grand Father Time, both have positions of authority. Sun just shines his Light, has Presence, automatically leads the show at any age! Saturn is the Law, the integrity of the people, the Master Craftsman, the CEO, President, one who commands respect. These two can share powers and work stunningly together. Sun might contribute design and color, be on the marketing side of things, bring pride, heart and Soul, Spirit to an endeavor that matters more than money. Saturn may be the architect of magic, build an amazing empire then link that one with other empires! Truly inspiring.
Sun in last earth sign Capricorn trines Jupiter in first earth sign Taurus. Sun and Jupiter are both heroes, champions and LUCKY! Lion and Centaur! Sun shines and Jupiter is big hearted too, funny, a liar/truth teller and terrific storyteller! Sun performs and acts the parts much to the delight of all! Capricorn is a bit serious at times and urges taking timely responsibility. Taurus pleads Mother Earth’s case at Jupiter’s court of justice. So it’s not all fun, games and theatre. These two may be too busy to be interviewed. They each need a full team backing them!
Aspects with Neptune!
1)The Important Aspect that happens Three Times! (Retrograde) Mercury square Neptune!
Nov 27‘s Gemini-Sagittarius Full Moon was the same day Mercury in Sagittarius squared Neptune in Pisces the first time. The second square of the Two Sign Sagittarius-Capricorn Mercury Retrograde is the same day as Dec 26‘s day after Christmas Cancer-Capricorn Full Moon! The final square of the 3 part Mercury Rx cycle is Jan 8, 2024 three days before the Jan 11 New Moon, the first lunar event of 2024! See the Mercury Retrograde Timeline. This combination has further resonance because when Mercury is in Virgo, it is opposite Pisces, Neptune’s sign, and Neptune is now powerful in Pisces! Neptune has creds! Mercury is now in Sagittarius inquisitively retrograde, looking back along its track seeing what might have been missed. There were confusing times, yet part of the test is to keep Faith. He is rethinking his perspectives, developing a more generous overview. There is a spiritual overtone since Sagittarius is a seeker, does religious studies, a sometimes churchgoer, and Neptune is THE planet of spirituality. In the long darker days of Solstice time we go a little deeper for the meanings of life, caring for each other with kindnesses. Pisces is the sign of Saviors, suffering and addictions, surrender and blessed compassion. There is so much to forgive, release, and give thanks for. Let the Highest be done and let it begin with me.
At the earth level we have seen swarms of floods, powerful water, snow, ice events. I want to see ways for Saturn to harvest water significantly, to help take care of our oceans, reduce plastic and poisonous pollution, to harvest safely without harming other fish, dolphins and whales, to harvest cleanly and more abundantly. See more!
Mercury in Sagittarius has three flavors!
Mercury’s first sign is Gemini, then Virgo. Flavored by Gemini, Mercury is of it’s opposite sign Sagittarius! In the old astrological words, Gemini is Mind and Sagittarius is the Path, the purpose, the meaning of those words. We find that Gemini is motivated by the purpose, and the purpose is based on the strength and quality of the data furnished by Gemini. Gemini is the more local neighborhood, siblings connections while Sagittarius is the Traveler, Professor, Philosopher/Religious Guide who takes us out into the world, connects entire arenas, shows us there is more, much more! Gemini teaches us how to learn. Sag teaches us how to think. The quality of the connections we make are essential to growth. This foundation gives Sagittarius the command, the skilled delivery of boundless information. Given the right input by Gemini, Sagittarius becomes the sign of Abundance!
Mercury flavored by Virgo often tinkers with trivial bits of information but doesn’t miss a trick! In Sagittarius, the tendency leans to right sizable pieces, and lots of them – adds up quickly! It is after not just meaningful, but profound! Sag is always looking for perspective, the long view, where we’re going and why? It’s not just the Mercurial facts, but what they mean together. Sag tends to emphasize, make it bigger than life! They like to play and tell stories.
In addition to these Mercury sign connections, at this time retrograde, he is going back to conjunct Mars the very next day! This and in fire sign Sagittarius is double hot and spicy! Could be rowdy, rude, running fast, the winner, makes a big sale, overdoes it, has hot bully opinions, is horny! If you keep your priority on your project, you can get a lot done in a short time! Super Sagittarian lucky Mars propels us into greater leadership, excited and exonerated as the revelations pour forth! Mars is first to see, prone to instant action! The joy of discovery wakes us up, being on new ground is a hope and a healing! First time experimenting may need a little adjusting, but we can see the burst of light in every step and handshake! The strides are getting longer, covering more ground in less time!Neptune is glad for Mars to come along and take up the cause as well, but he was still sleeping and Mars gleefully shouts wakie, wakie! Neptune is muttering under his breath. But Neptune is ever adjustable and they, he, Mercury and Mars, get to talking. With Mars you don’t want to miss a moment when he’s on! He’s quick and gone, next! If you are ready with the next set of requests and directions, he doesn’t delay! Your whole day is a half a day for him! Be ready to roll. He will be back for more!
Neptune, especially in his own sign Pisces, loves a wild yarn, and can sometimes outdo the mystery of it all, can make it soulful and profound, bring you to tears, to complete silence as the story takes you in. Pisces wants saviors, while Sag brings adventurous heroes. Each has a way with what is important, even in fun or spirituality, sometimes with ambiguity that makes you crazy and you think for days!
Neptune is noted for confusion, the mystical, incomprehensible, sorrow and addictions. Mercury in Sagittarius is a heart warming communicator, will help you cleverly escape or take you home when all was thought to be lost. One way or the other, your mind is expanded, with new opinions or ways of thinking, or not thinking at all if you are meditating! Being ‘confused’ allows all sorts of options to be explored as you seek answers. It’s actually a profound state of mind. It teaches us to let go, give up fear of the unknown, accept what doesn’t make sense, consider amazing possibilities, develop Faith and Hope, Trust when you don’t know your next step. Your heart opens.
Neptune in his own sign is remarkable! Imagination, worries, consequences, longed for accomplishments come to be. Telling the stories of the gathering of clues, the templates of progress, the supreme focus of attention step by step, sharing the immense accumulated data bank, are all part of the enormous success that may have taken many lifetimes. Neptune guides through the images of the Dreamtime.
2) Neptune at 25 Pisces sextiles Pluto at 29 Capricorn! This combo is important for two reasons! The sextile has been afoot since 1942, and Pluto reenters Aquarius Jan 20!
Neptune sextile Pluto 82 years!
Neptune and Pluto know each other well. From 1900 through 2032,there is only one aspect made between Neptune and Pluto! It came within effective range in the midst of World War II during 1942. Neptune sextile Pluto has a profound and exotic history! Jamie Partridge refers to it as an ‘inter-generational’ planetary aspect lasting from 1950 to 2032! In those years there are 49 exact aspects over three to four generations! Both planets have changed signs multiple times in that period. At this part of their orbits they have been traveling at speeds that have allowed them to keep the sextile aspect for 82 years! Though their last exact sextile was June 9, 1986, they have stayed in sextile, sometimes closer, sometimes further apart, until now! July 24 to Sep 15, 2026they start exact aspects again! They make 13 additional exact aspects in this period completing the 82 years! Chart factors you have in or very close to those degrees will tap you into this sequence.
As planets travel for long times together, they become more like each other. Neptune and Pluto are both water planets (Pisces and Scorpio) and both have to do with transformation. Pluto transforms our bodies from the Kundalini up. Neptune transforms our Spirit. Pluto goes deep to cure the cause. Neptune pulls us to believe in the unseeable, our dreams. Neptune calls Pluto to compassion. Pluto says face the facts. There is the physical doctor and if the patient doesn’t believe, they can die no matter how great the Dr is. If there is no great Dr, the patient may die no matter what he believes. Truly, we need these two to work together. We/they, have been getting better at it!
This connection is more significant now because March 23, 2023 Pluto first entered Aquarius,a 246 year event! Now through 2044, 21 years, there will be significant world changes. ’26 to ’32 the remaining 13 exact sextiles with Neptune happen while Neptune is in Aries, Pluto in Aquarius. Please continue to strengthen our Aquarian and Uranian people, those factors in your own charts!
Pluto is back in Capricorn until Jan 20, 2024. See more about this period of the 246 year Capricorn-Aquarius transition. There is great strength in hard won, tried and true knowledge. On that foundation Aquarian r/evolution makes more useful solid advances, securely implemented, maintained by the timeless high standards Capricorn has stood for. Capricorn is the sign of time and knows instinctively when a shift is in progress. Ruling borders and boundaries, he is a Gateway specialist! He is a mentor, always guiding and guarding the newbies. Pluto in Capricorn Aquarius is at the cutting edge, on totally new ground and can use all the help he can get. Many Aquarians have their Mercurys in Capricorn and many Capricorns have their Mercurys in Aquarius! They live this transition all their lives. They will be there for us. While the rest of us are scrambling, it’s business as usual for them.
Venus in Scorpio is secretly sweetening this mix right now! She trines Neptune Dec 25, Christmas morning! Take some special time for personal pleasures starting with breakfast in bed and a possible food fight, LOL! Open prezzies early! Family breakfast! Some fine treasures will be shared along with love and healing. Financial and spiritual blessings are both in the mix. They will continue to blossom through Venus’s sextile Pluto, Scorpio’s planet, the evening of Dec 28. Remember, Mercury is retrograde through the 1st, wait at least 4 days after that. If you want to partner or invest and you are still interested by then, it could be a remarkable deal. Check with your astrologer(s) to see how it does or doesn’t connect with your chart!

Chiron is ‘sitting’ at EXACT retrograde station TODAY 15 Aries 27. I say sitting, but Aries barely sits. He’s got things to do, now, LOL!Chiron is considering his options, feeling them to the core to see how they sit with him, focusing. Chiron is near the North Node, but they are both moving slowly and won’t conjunct until Feb 19, 2024. So as it is now, Chiron will be honing his skills for fast delivery of new types of healing. There will be an educational period, trial and error, provings. There may be a specific specialty concerning him now.Uranus in Taurus is one of the 3 outer higher consciousness planets! These planets draw us past our daily experience. We are encountering great principles working together. Uranus is humanitarian, the Awakener, r/evolutionist. Taurus wants earthy beauty, looking for organic values, land, quality food, ores and minerals, safe habitats for animals. He wants to build dependable extensive networks whether an apartment building, a class action suit, or human rights. Uranus rules electronics, flight, the coming robotics. When Pluto is in Aquarius, Uranus’s sign, the two are combined as one, unimaginable electric life force! Immense possibilities. Pluto awakens the Kundalini, the fire at the base of the spine, burns away the dross, aligns the chakras and we are ON!
Jupiter in Taurus, still retrograde, will turn forward Dec 30. A lengthy one degree station will be Dec 6 through Jan 24, 2024. Those of you with chart factors at or very close to 5 and 6 degrees will be activated. In that time, some deeper principles will take root with you, securing a strong foundation, worthy of your continued care as they develop further.
Lucky Jupiter will be coming forward to conjunct Uranus April 20, 2024! WOW! That will be some experience! Do be thinking on what you would like to see happen by then, be preparing for it even now. Allow your mind to sweep the environment, to expand what you aspire to. Jupiter is lucky for Earth, expands earth events, education, perspectives of long term value.
Yes, we have seen huge earth events, some not seeming so lucky, but in the long term we will do better with these kinds of events as we plan ahead to use them rather than suffer destruction. One of the things we can do is manage our food production choices in context of coming weather. Another is to mitigate temperature changes. Save our water. Jupiter rules heat! See more: 2023-24 Aspects and other Sign Changes! See more about the approaching April 2024 Jupiter conjunct Uranus! This aspect alone will jump us a few light years ahead!

At this time of the year’s transition to a New Year, note these ongoing LUNAR PATTERNS that hold for months, one sign after the other. You with chart factors at or within a degree or two of these patterns that repeat, will be activated from each different sign sequentially.

Thursday Dec 11, 3:57 AM Pacific at 20 Capricorn 44!
Education, working the changes it brings, will be a big payoff! Positive Karma, pure Magic!

Capricorn is an absolutely magnificent sign representing the sand, rocks, stones and the super gems of the world! It can be frozen high altitudes, graceful alluvial desert fans at their feet, rocky islands with vertical cliffs and beautiful sandy beaches, exquisite white dunes like at White Sands NM.
10 days before Pluto reenters Aquarius we are treated by this fine and powerful Capricorn New Moon! It is getting the last touch in, takes us into a deep winter night to find pure purpose, our part of the sign change. With a four planet Capricorn stellium, it will solidify four facets of Capricorn that Pluto has been fortifying in Capricorn that Aquarius may stand strong and rely on. Mars, Moon, Sun and Pluto himself.
The Dec 27 Full Cold Moon was the first full moon of the 2023-2024 winter season, the first full moon after the winter solstice. For many, Winter Solstice is considered to be the astronomical New Year. This New Moon is the first lunar event of calendar 2024! Mercury is no longer retrograde.
Unusual planetary order! The five inner, personal planets are all before Pluto, in only two signs, Sagittarius and Capricorn. The last planet in Capricorn is Pluto still in Capricorn. He and the rest of the planets, the outer ‘higher’ consciousness planets of the collective, follow – Saturn, Neptune, Chiron, Jupiter and Uranus. They span Capricorn to Taurus, two in Pisces, two in Taurus.
All of them are in a Bowl configuration spanning Sagittarius through Taurus. Bowls are clever collectors, assimilating their finds to greater purpose. When full there is a great sharing, an outpouring of their abundance! This can vary per your location around the world. A bowl at the top of the chart may act as a shelter, protector, set a perimeter. When at the sides of the chart it may be a deflector – the wind blows by, a protector, or act as a sail and push along through obstacles, join with others going their way. See more about Bowl Charts!
Venus, riding along in Sagittarius, is the base planet. She is leaving a pathway of flower petals for other pilgrims to follow. Her love keeps the tribe going, reminds them of their blessed purpose. They won’t fail. If they need to, everyone pauses and takes a break, has snacks, plays games and sings songs, both funny and inspirational! Spirits are raised and they lift their eyes to the future!
Lead planet Uranus in Taurus is steady in the Light – sunrise, sunset, starlight patterns guiding through the night. They trust him, following to some strange places, sacred ground. He has special impressive powers of lightning in a storm. They SEE the planet before them, sometimes walking barefoot, they come to an honorable union. Taurus can be a fearless unvanquished steamroller, plowing through obstacles, both mind and matter. Or they can be as gentle as petting the fur on your favorite kitten. They walk the Path with kindness, helping with simple tips, uniting neighboring peoples in a chain of gold. Uranus is the electronic planet forming a network that covers the planet like a blanket of evolutional changes of thinking. The remaining flailing strands see the possibilities and are gathered in. It’s more than education, it’s connection! Change is happening at a remarkable pace, with every breath we take.
All the planets in this chart are in three sets by degrees. Something for everyone!
Mid degrees are emphasized starting with the base planet Venus 15 Sag, the New Moon at 20 Capricorn, Chiron and the North Node at 15 and 20 Aries, with Uranus, the Aquarian lead planet finishing at 19 Taurus. Venus and Uranus are specially linked because Taurus is Venus’s first sign. That’s FIVE planets and the North Node!
Mars, Saturn and Jupiter are in an early degree threesome at 5, 4 and 5! They are strongly connected by close degrees: Mars in Capricorn, Saturn in Pisces and Jupiter in Taurus, harmonious earth and water signs.
Neptune and Pluto stand in their late degrees 25 and 29 in their ongoing 82 year sextile. Mercury stands with them at 27 Sagittarius.
Capricorn is emphasized since all the planets in the 4 planet Capricorn New Moon stellium are linked to all three sets!
The aspects, the connections between the planets are unusual too. Since all the inner planets are in only two signs, the only major aspect that can be formed, is a conjunction. The Sun and Moon as New Moon are that and that’s it!
Other than that, the inner planets are all now making upcoming great connections with the outer planets.
Venus trines Chiron same degree, and North Node
Mercury did square Neptune the third/last time Jan 8.
Mars actively sextiles Saturn, trines Jupiter
Moon and Sun are sextile Neptune. They just passed the square the North Node and trine with Uranus!
The only outer planet aspect to each other is the 82 year Neptune in sextile Pluto.
_________________
Mid Degrees!
The New Moon has strong influence due to being the only planet to planet conjunction, and is multiply aspected with Venus, Neptune, Chiron and the North Node, and Uranus the planet of Aquarius! The New Moon in Capricorn is strongly inclined to be the boss. Mama Moon takes responsibility, is a take charge type, doesn’t matter who or how old you are! She is a pro in business, often owns her own at a young age, and raises the kids, plus taking care of the elders! Fast foods may be a necessity. She can be frugal or be a successful real estate broker, gemologist, work with the law or the DA, be in sciences/research. She is particular about her choice of mate and associates. Father may be a detriment or a fine mentor who loves her a lot. Young Caps get stronger as they get older!
Father Sun in Capricorn is a powerful leader! He holds the Light, has integrity. Sometimes he will not compromise and that may work or not. He works hard and often long hours, has grit and won’t give up. Someone needs to lock him out of the office from time to time, LOL. Burnout is no fun. Being on time means a lot to him. He is generally a dedicated parent, takes time for sports with his kids. Hiking, climbing may be favorites. They enjoy working hard and have strong endurance. Just remember not all the kids will have the same ability! Sun in Capricorn does demand excellence, which can be inspiring. They make terrific mentors, understand when you are not at your best. They are known for long careers and don’t quit even when they retire!
Cancer and Capricorn are deeply bonded by natural instinct. Traditionally Mother Cancer Moon is home and family, care and feeding. Father Capricorn is shelter provider, protector, earns the money, builds the business. She nurtures him, softens his sharp moments, encourages him in hard times. He has such pride in her, is grateful for the comfortable home she makes, helps her when he can. In astrology their signs are the prime vertical axis representing home, cultural beliefs, and being out in the world at large in one’s own community.
Venus, Chiron, North Node! Capricorn’s New Moon’s closest connection is square with Moon’s North Node at 20 Aries! That’s a challenge because the North Node is working for independence and Capricorn needs to have control. Right. Aries was born to rebel and you better prove to him why you should rule, or forget it. He’s fearless and threats of any kind won’t help or be minded. He can outrun you. Capricorn is confronted by some basics. Should he waste time with this interloper or work out some agreements because this wild creature is creative, has terrific ideas, works well with no supervision and is super productive! Ok, and Capricorn is offering work and it’s a sincere project Aries can get behind. So let Aries do it his way, and let Capricorn periodically check in to make sure things are going as planned, to see if Aries needs any tools or materials. Give each other high praise, but don’t carry on and on. Got it?!
Venus in Sagittarius She is helping. She is now in a same degree trine with Chiron in Aries, who is with the Node! blessing the speed that he is operating at, getting new healing techniques and remedies, doing the research promptly! Chiron is always happy to connect with her. In Sag, she wants to carry the messages out into the world, educate us all to the perspectives of Chiron’s medicines, changes he inaugurates. She may bring him some funding that makes the difference! The North Node’s general motion is always retrograde, so will be connecting with them both. The NN in Aries is always looking to the find the best new ways to start new ventures. There will be fruitful encounters.
Part of the importance of Node events is they are trying to balance the opposite signs. The Libra-Aries axis is learning to be able to be independent, a leader, AND work together, each contributing their own strengths. Moon’s Nodes are considered to be somewhat karmic, to connect concepts of mistakes of the past/past lives with making amendments balanced by the opposite principles of the opposite sign, of current times. It is not always easy within ourselves, because the soul has its memories, and we, and others involved, have fears, angers and perversions, chronic behaviors that need to be faced and overcome. Do have patience with each other and yourself. Though you may be ready to make good, the other may not be able to receive your offering yet, and vice versa.
Chiron is fast at 15 Aries, no longer retrograde he’s even faster! Fresh and new, the latest, remedies are being delivered. He gives you the information on how to use them, but jot it down quickly and ask your questions because he’s already gone on to the next client/patient! He’s racing against time because so many critical things are happening. We must be well to contribute our part. He’s a rights fighter for a strong mind and body to represent our Spirit/Soul. Chiron is ready for Initiation, exploration, quick learning! He goes places no one has gone before. Courage is impressive. Stand tall! Independence, thinking for yourself, quickly tracking reality, is a strong plus!
The New Moon has passed Venus, Chiron/North Node, and is just past Uranus by one degree. Moon and Sun have been in a favorable trine friendship with Uranus the Aquarian planet. All of them are in earth signs, looking for simple and practical timely fixes for what ails the planet. They are all supportive to Pluto going into Aquarius on the 20th. Capricorn is the sign preceding Aquarius, so understands the gravity of Pluto’s shift, the necessity of strengthening the channel between the two signs. New friends, networks are being established. Changes in science and research are being tried and updated, smoothed. Business is taking on new tones on how it works. Relationships are shifting in their reasons to be formed. Stay informed!
Early degrees 5, 4 and 5, threesome!
Saturn, Capricorn’s planet is emphasized by being the midpoint between Mars in Capricorn and Jupiter in Taurus. They have sextiled Saturn, opportunities of mixed element signs. He collects information from both of them, synthesizes, sends the new plans back to each of them. He’s the architect and changes certain deadlines. Mars and Jupiter, two fire planets are happily trine each other, occasionally plot a rebellion against the master who is much too slow and sometimes too etheric for them, LOL! Yet Mars in Capricorn is quite more careful than usual, and Jupiter in Taurus doesn’t realize how slower and more relaxed he is now. He is more patient and thinks to the root. I’m not worried. Capricorn is often to the point quickly while Jupiter in Taurus sees a longer vision and shows how the step by step process becomes more valuable and worth the careful work. They will work it out. Their work may be more important than many now realize.
More about Jupiter! In Taurus Jupiter is strong as a Bull, an oxen, a fabulous draft horse! They are good natured, steady, capable. Jupiter has faith and confidence that carries him through long term projects, to meaningful successes. Taurus is no quitter. Just don’t get in their way! Jupiter is well partnered with Taurus. Taurus is not afraid of hard work, is loyal and dedicated. Jupiter is a strong student and teacher looking for perspective and a useful broader truth. Taurus would rather stay home, but will take Jupiter on his back cross country, the tractor to the remote area needing checking on, or on the train overland far away. He sees through Jupiter’s big wide eyes and changes some of his opinions. Taurus has such patience and common sense that Jupiter can calm down, take the time it takes, and feel safe right where he stands. No need to run away. If the two of them together get too stubborn for words, it may take a powerful event to get them to shake it off, let go, consider other possibilities. Just show them how it is better, especially the consequences and losses if not taken advantage of. Be ready to prove your point. If Taurus looks at you sideways, you know you still have some work to do.
Jupiter in Taurus is coming forward to conjunct Uranus April 20, 2024! WOW! That will be some experience! Do be thinking on what you would like to see happen by then, be preparing for it even now. Allow your mind to sweep the environment, to expand what you aspire to. Jupiter will turn forward Dec 30. A lengthy one degree station will be Dec 6 through Jan 24, 2024. Those of you with chart factors at or very close to 5 and 6 degrees will be activated. In that time, some deeper principles will take root with you, securing a strong foundation, worthy of your continued care as they develop further. Jupiter is lucky for Earth, expands earth events, education, perspectives of long term value. Yes, we have seen huge earth events, some not seeming so lucky, but in the long term we will do better with these kinds of events as we plan ahead to use them rather than suffer destruction. One of the things we can do is manage our food production choices in context of coming weather. Another is to mitigate temperature changes. Jupiter rules heat! Save our water. See more: 2023-24 Aspects and other Sign Changes! Immense possibilities are coming! See more about Jupiter conjunct Uranus! This aspect alone will jump us a few light years ahead!
More about Saturn! Saturn is reviewing the very foundation of Pisces to be sure Pisces is weathering the storms, able to stand true to his karmic and dharmic intentions. Saturn knows how to help when there are disenchantments, remediation needed after disasters. He knows how to walk you back to the organic bedrock of the Soul and connect you with others who are dedicated and will shelter you when you need it. Saturn has had a few tough times of his own. He has learned his building skills by experience and is efficient, often wise. Pisces enjoys wandering, but there are times we need him to be present and realistically leading our Spirits. Saturn reminds him of his priorities. Pisces has lived the aeons, but there are timely concerns as significant changes like Pluto into Aquarius happen.
I see Saturn as harnessing the insights and psychic ability of Pisces, the ability to understand something that was unknown, develop a personal form of Spirituality that brings you to your knees and exhilarates your Soul! At the earth level we have seen swarms of floods and powerful water events. I want to see ways for Saturn to harvest water significantly, to help take care of our oceans, reduce plastic and poisonous pollution, to harvest safely without harming other fish, dolphins and whales, to harvest cleanly and more abundantly. See more!
♦♦ Not only do we have New Moon and two other planets in Capricorn, but Saturn, Capricorn’s planet, is standing tall and productively at Midpoint, an empowering position, between Mars and Jupiter!
Late Degrees! Neptune sextile Pluto 82 years, Mercury with them!
Neptune and Pluto know each other well. From 1900 through 2032,there is only one aspect made between Neptune and Pluto! It came within effective range in the midst of World War II during 1942. Neptune sextile Pluto has a profound and exotic history! Jamie Partridge refers to it as an ‘inter-generational’ planetary aspect lasting from 1950 to 2032! In those years there are 49 exact aspects over three to four generations! Both planets have changed signs multiple times in that period. At this part of their orbits they have been traveling at speeds that have allowed them to keep the sextile aspect for 82 years! Though their last exact sextile was June 9, 1986, they have stayed in sextile, sometimes closer, sometimes further apart, until now! July 24 to Sep 15, 2026they start exact aspects again! They make 13 additional exact aspects in this period completing the 82 years! Chart factors you have in or very close to those degrees will tap you into this sequence.
As planets travel for long times together, they become more like each other. Neptune and Pluto are both water planets (Pisces and Scorpio) and both have to do with transformation. Pluto transforms our bodies from the Kundalini up. Neptune transforms our Spirit. Pluto goes deep to cure the cause. Neptune pulls us to believe in the unseeable, our dreams. Neptune calls Pluto to compassion. Pluto says face the facts. There is the physical doctor and if the patient doesn’t believe, they can die no matter how great the Dr is. If there is no great Dr, the patient may die no matter what he believes. Truly, we need these two to work together. We/they, have been getting better at it!
Mercury currently with them squared Neptune Jan 8, a mere moment compared to 82 years! But this was the third time Mercury was present at these three last lunar events, both of the two previous times with the Full Moons on the same day! There is a carryover of these two ‘opposite’ planets. Mercury rules Virgo, the sign opposite Neptune’s sign Pisces which Neptune is now in! There are some details Mercury wants to be included, adjusted by Neptune’s spiritual insight. It will be a mini breakthrough, but clears the way to keep things on track. Mercury currently in Sagittarius is doing something like a blowup, maybe an exaggeration to get the attention it needs. There is an adjustment needed in the plan and direction it is taking. Take another look, see what’s missing.
The angel statue, Statue of Victoria, Siegessaule Tiergarten Berlin is situated in the Berlin Victory Column. Designed by Heinrich Strack after 1864. This double exposure gives the allusion to the #11!
1.11 Triple Ones!
New possibilities are on the way! One stands independently, often alone and likes it, no interference or delays. As a leader, they get things done and followers support them. Some would say they have courage, but they would say it was nothing – to them it is simply natural. It does take personal strength to be alert, to accurately read your surroundings and respond appropriately. It takes a bit of physical strength at times to take care of business.
Life is about to take a turn! Time to let go and move on. Spiritual awakenings are afoot. Initiation. One is new beginnings, fresh and free! Follow your heart. Be mindful of your higher purpose; be with people who support your Path. Time to take action!
Double Ones, Eleven, are called a Master Number, double power! There is possibly dual leadership potential or two possibilities side by side. Some say it represents alignment with your spiritual guides, the Angels! Erica Jensen says: ‘11 angel number symbolizes the discovery of your true calling in life, the realization of the spiritual realm, and letting go of negative thought patterns that are preventing you from attaining your objectives. Taking responsibility for our lives and learning how to let go of fear (along with other negative emotions) are two key ways in which this special number might improve your life.’
Blessed be. Follow your own intuition and insights. Stay true.
Education, working the changes it brings, will be a big payoff! Positive Karma, pure Magic!

July 3 Capricorn/Cancer Full Independence Buck Moon!
Monday July 3, 4:39 AM Pacific at 11 Capricorn/Cancer 19
Communications are buzzing with this super productive combination!
Take your Cancer on the Waikiki Star of Honolulu dinner cruise this Independence July 3 or 4! Order up something special, be pampered! See beautiful traditional dancing. Sign up at Hawaii Activities. com
We don’t usually think of Cancers as revolutionaries, but the 4th of July sign is Cancer! They do stand up for their homes, families and especially children! If they are refugees, the family doggie goes with them, no one is left behind.
Pluto is retrograde back in Capricorn, the full Moon’s sign, Sun in Cancer’s opposite. Moon’s last aspect will be with Pluto. There may be intensity, a powerful farewell, ending, surrender. Pluto as healer may salute her as she passes by, for her unconditional caring, the timeless building she does when helping others grow or elders are old or tired beyond words. Pluto takes her in with him, heals old griefs, sends her on her way with a secret she holds dear. Finances, business, may go very up or very down or both. She may need some help herself. Pluto may negotiate in her behalf. She may need some protection or to set bounders. Timing, deadlines may be crucial.
Sun in Cancer is conjunct Mercury, sensing a need for more communications, perhaps that a paper needs signing, a bill to be paid without fail. There may be a security matter that needs tending. Women can likely help.
Mercury does square Chiron, Sun will follow. Though ordinarily quite logical, in Cancer, Mercury is more intuitive. Chiron in Aries is pushing for the latest health changes, but Cancer is generally more old fashioned, using the herbal remedies of the GrandMother. Yet, she senses Chiron’s fervent genuine concern so may carefully try some of his ideas. He has ideas for new ways of relating, business. Some sound clever and worthy. Again, she is cautious but intrigued. If they work well she may be the leader of several new ways. Cancer is an excellent business person, using cycles to advantage! Chiron will learn from tradition and quickly revise, include, merge their findings together. He will learn better how to speak respectfully and kindly with traditionals and sensitives.
Bow Formation! The Sun and Moon, Full Moon axis, have been making good sextile aspects with Saturn, Capricorn’s planet, and Jupiter. Those two, recently sextiled each other, are well informed. Saturn knows how to do business, building, is professional. Jupiter is the planner and has ideas for growth, education and is making big plans. It is a super productive combination! Moon and Sun can fall back on this lucky information.
Venus in Leo has been trine with Chiron, the best aspect! She is with Mars the Aries planet and Chiron is in Aries! Fiery signs and fiery Mars make things happen pdq, pretty darn quick! Mars in Leo is the hero! If Venus isn’t doing her nails, she is quite generous and Mars wants to please her! Chiron wants to get out of the gate and inspire them all to do what they can soonest! He has new healing ideas and wants to try them! Venus in Leo wants Chiron to admire her, so she might surprise him with her quick response. She’s got the pom poms and Mars has the Muscle!
This, Venus making a conjunction with Mars, is one of those aspects that don’t get made. Venus is usually faster than Mars, but she is slowing to retrograde and they don’t connect. Close enough to see each other, but not close enough to connect. It’s a spicy flirtation, nice to have met you, a wink, and off he goes. They connect months later, but in different signs. It’s not the same as in Leo, the lovers’ sign. Wait to get a better marriage chart.
Venus has also been square Uranus. She is feeling a need to be free or has recently divorced or it is on her mind. She may be sad, disappointed. She has broken from her past and some friends too. It was a long time coming. Being close to Mars makes her hot to get to new ground, but that she is slowing to retrograde, looks like there is still some unfinished business. She makes 2 more squares, Aug 9 and Oct 2. You see? It’s going to take some time.
Pluto in Capricorn is indeed square the Moon’s North Node. At this point, they are in what’s called an out of sign square – in compatible signs Capricorn and Taurus, but close to 90°. The 90° factor usually wins. It’s a challenge, an abrupt direction change. When the Node moves into Aries, they will square by signs as well as degrees. The nodes are now spanning Taurus/Scorpio, Scorpio being Pluto’s sign. It is as if Pluto/Scorpio is at odds within himself. There can be a camaraderie, or a blocking oneself. Capricorn generally operates on the old trusted way. Taurus is working to loosen this lock among them in the system, trying to get them to look forward.
With Pluto back in Capricorn he is again sextile Neptune from a compatible sign. They have an amazing story spanning past and future!
From 1900 through 2032,there has been only one aspect made between Neptune and Pluto! It came within effective range in the midst of World War II during 1942. Neptune sextile Pluto has a profound and exotic history! Jamie Partridge refers to it as an ‘inter-generational’ planetary aspect lasting from 1950 to 2032! In those years there are 49 exact aspects over three to four generations! Both planets have changed signs multiple times in that period. Pluto started in Leo, Neptune in Libra. Pluto has done 7 signs, now in Aquarius. Neptune has also done 7 signs, now in Aries. The sextiles finish when both are in their opposite signs from where they started. At this part of their orbits they have been traveling at speeds that have allowed them to keep the sextile aspect for 82 years! Though their last exact sextile was June 9, 1986, they have stayed in sextile, sometimes closer, sometimes further apart, until now! July 24 to Sep 15, 2026they start exact aspects again! They make their first station, then, not missing any, they continue through Feb 29, 2032, from 4 to 14° Aries/Aquarius! They make 13 additional exact aspects in this period! This completes the 82 years! Chart factors you have in or very close to those degrees will tap you into this sequence.
As planets travel together, they become more like each other. Neptune and Pluto are both water planets (Pisces and Scorpio) and both have to do with transformation. Pluto transforms our bodies while Neptune transforms our Spirit. Pluto goes deep to cure the cause. Neptune pulls us to believe in the unseeable. Neptune calls Pluto to compassion. Pluto says face the facts. There is the physical doctor and the if the patient doesn’t believe, they can die no matter how great the Dr is. If there is no great Dr, the patient may die no matter what he believes. Truly, we need these two to work together. We/they, have been getting better at it!
This connection is more significant now because March 23, 2023 Pluto entered Aquarius,a 246 year event! Now through 2044, 21 years, there will be significant world changes. ’26 to ’32 the remaining 13 exact sextiles with Neptune happen while Neptune is in Aries, Pluto in Aquarius. Please continue to strengthen our Aquarian and Uranian people, those factors in your own charts!
Communications are buzzing with this super productive combination!
The New Moon, Sun and Moon, are holding tight, yet knowing changes are in process.
Summer Glamping can be this much fun under the Milky Way! No cursing balky tents and gear, no heavy backpack to carry, no bugs, king size beds, midnight snacks, and you get all the views ~ at Grand Canyon! See The Best Southwest Glamping Road Trip
Shelter, nesting, are some of Cancer’s favorite things. Some glamp, some backpack with their tent, others take their camper on wheels with them! Venus in Leo loves pampering! She is at 28 Leo, almost at the end, but retrogrades July 22 just before Sun enters Leo, his own sign! Right now she is in her one degree station that started July 15; that will complete July 29, 2 weeks. Factors in your chart that line up with Venus now will be on hold for a few days. Time to pause, think, anchor the keepers, steep in what’s important. Take a good look at your love life, finances, beauty, art, your body and health, what you appreciate more than anything. Teach what matters, respect unique culture and customs. Give yourself credit, love yourself! Share the charm and glamour. It’s sweet and special. Put your portfolio together, advertise your performance. Have a summer party! Go to the lake for sun bathing and water sports!
Venus will be having two more squares with Uranus, so you may be on your own at times, plus partings as friends and children who have graduated scatter off to new places. You Cancers may be having the Empty Nest Blues. There will undoubtedly be changes of class choices and instructors, job expectations, finances. Some will be parting from loved ones, dear friends, boy/girl friends and mates. Some have been so bored and can’t wait; others will be scared to go off into strange territory alone. You can do this. Stay connected with your support people. What you want will change. Be of good grace. See how the change can benefit you.
The New Moon, Sun and Moon, are holding tight, yet knowing changes are in process. They have just sextiled, opportunities, with Uranus, the planet of humanity. Uranus is in Taurus wanting a dependable future with valuable long term changes proving their worth. Cancers are natural born citizens of their communities and like to see everyone teaming up just like a working family. They are proponents of their children’s needs, wanting clean water and climate safe living. Cancers are wise at looking at cycles, food sources, secure sustainable housing. They can bring whole neighborhoods and communities, the Mothers of America, to a sensible cause. They can be excellent lobbyists and reps to court and the White House! And they are bonded with their mates who share their passion for their children’s futures. Their mate brings their following as well! It’s a movement!
Sun and Moon have been square Old Teacher Chiron. He’s in new fiery Aries these days, sometimes cranky and impatient! But he is mostly right and wants the best NOW for all, LOL! Cancers can be SO tolerant. They like tradition and Chiron is ‘newly’ bringing back some old ways! He is so knowledgeable you just have to listen! At least he is quick about it. They talk about him and tell their family and close others. More often than not, Chiron heals the problem and teaches people how to take care of themselves, prevention skills included.
Jupiter is in Taurus making steady gains. Jupiter teaches, leads, travels overland to the organic sources of information, absorbs the most basic possibilities right up through his bare feet! Mercury in Leo has just squared him. In spite of their differences, Mercury is likely convinced, is carrying the ideas like a torch wherever he goes. He lights the fires of people wanting changes. It spreads further and faster than anyone expected. There are likely some exaggerations on both their parts, but it is still inspiring! If there are major disagreements, Mercury could leave in a huff. But he will be thinking as he goes. Jupiter and Taurus are generally of good will and sensible. It might not be the material that is the problem, but the manner in which it is processed and used. Leo might want a lot more flair. I hope they stay with it and work it out. Mercury in Leo can do it proud!
Particular Mars in Virgo is facing off Saturn the hammer in the velvet glove Pisces! Mars here is an excellent craftsman with a quick style. He may team up with Saturn and use the Pisces intuition to guide his hand. Mars is fire, Virgo wood; Saturn is stone (jewels) and Pisces is shimmering oceanic music (opals?). Welding, cutting, carving, cleaving? It will be exceptionally beautiful and intricate whatever it is.
Mars may be concerned for the health of very young women or especially elder men. Mars pushes for taking care of ourselves better, eating less, working more at things we deeply believe in. Saturn preserves the past and may bring ancient wisdoms into play, possibly knowledge from past life times. How did he do that so easily with no training?! He’s a natural. Saturn may block our efforts at times to save us from ourselves. If necessary, he may call in the law. Or Mars may leave no stone unturned to help us kick an addiction, come back from the lost. This may be a time of trial as new techniques are tried to loosen the grip of old ways. Mars may want us to stand up to invalid unjust spiritual ‘authorities,’ to function even when we are in sorrow, when a victim, have disability. It’s a tough call and requires all the courage we have. In time, Virgo knows when things are just not, never were or no longer are a working truth, and they care.
At times the roles are reversed. Saturn has the intuition to recognize a skilled Soul. He may want to help Mars polish his techniques and bring him into his business! Virgo can be self critical – it’s not good enough and never will be. Wrong. It often takes an experienced master to have the perspective to see. In Pisces, Saturn knows just the things to point out, and how to tell Mars so he will be more interested than feel put down. Changes can happen quickly and Mars is practically reborn!
With Pluto back in Capricorn he is again sextile Neptune from a compatible sign. They have an amazing story spanning past and future!
From 1900 through 2032,there has been only one aspect made between Neptune and Pluto! It came within effective range in the midst of World War II during 1942.

Friday Dec 23 New Moon at 1 Capricorn 33, 2:17 AM Pacific
This is the Christmas New Moon! Time to Gather, share love, support, wisdom and inspiration!
Capricorn traces the footsteps of our ancestors… “One treasure still inside Utah’s Bears Ears monument is Procession Panel, a nearly 23-foot-long rock carving, or petroglyph, on Comb Ridge. At least 1,000 years old, it depicts a ceremonial gathering of some 190 human like forms converging from four directions. A succession of prehistoric cultures occupied the mesas and canyons of southern Utah for more than 12,000 years.” Spectacular Photo by Aaron Huey! Thanks to National Geographic!
A Supermoon is a full moon or a new moon that nearly coincides with perigee—the closest that the Moon comes to the Earth in its elliptic orbit—resulting in a slightly larger-than-usual apparent size of the lunar disk as viewed from Earth. The technical name is a perigee syzygy (of the Earth–Moon–Sun system) or a full (or new) Moon around perigee. This time it will emphasize our profession, fatherhood, shelter, what we build in our lives, our age.
Our chart is in less than half of the circle, a Bowl Chart. Bowls are collectors, gatherers, holders. They have a lunar nature, making nests, having belongings and memories that accrue the wisdom of close experience. We look to Mother Moon in such a chart, snuggling with her Capricorn Sun. She comforts, he relaxes knowing she is there for him, no judgments. He in turn renews his vows with her. Whether spoken or not, he appreciates her insightful intelligence of children, tribe, community. When their Bowl is full, they share their joy and prosperity, spilling it out, letting it flow through their people. They are a beacon, an example that draws others to stay steady together even in hard times.
Dec 23’s New Moon holds importance for several reasons!
It happens the day Chiron turns direct, forward, to soon be releasing new healing energy!
It’s the first New Moon with Jupiter back in Aries, giving a starting tone to types of new learning.
Between Solstice and Christmas, Dec 22 to 24, Dec 23’s New Moon, we have a FIVE planet Capricorn Stellium!Moon, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Pluto. That’s 5 special ways to do Capricorn!
This is the Christmas New Moon! Gatherings to share love, support, wisdom and inspiration.
Mercury’s retrograde station starts. He retrogrades Dec 29 starting the double retrograde with Mars, ongoing into the New Year until Jan 12 when Mars turns forward!
As 2022’s last Lunar event it leaves us with a sense of responsibility toward future achievements!
However, it is the second of the 1 degree New Moons that continue through February! They started in Sagittarius, go through Pisces. The March Moon starts at 0 Aries, the first degree of the Zodiac! The New Moons start each Sign!
Jupiter is now in Aries for good! Jupiter, planet of education, perspective and international travel, is offering boundless choices, calling on faith and trust to carry them onward. It’s one of those times when time seems speeded up! Many are not as concerned about going by the book as getting where you are going. There will be a lot of quick forgivenesses depending on the seriousness of what is involved, first time ‘offense,’ etc. There will be a lot of get along and get over it and don’t do that again. Just live, grow up, be a good human. Jupiter in Aries is quick to learn, gets how which percentages work best in the long term. In Aries he insists on new adventures, pushing aside antiquated thinking in favor of fresh solutions that bring exciting change for better living. Capricorn will want traditional ceremonies, but with Jupiter and Chiron, a marriage factor, both in Aries, don’t be surprised if they elope, if they marry at all!
Moon and Sun are separating a square with Jupiter, Moon this same morning, Sun on Solstice, the day after Jupiter’s reentry to Aries! Jupiter is pretty mighty, especially in Aries, so is surprised to meet immediate resistance! Sun in Capricorn is used to being respected, often thinks right is right and holds fast. He doesn’t like being rushed, and has a masterful component of his own and knows darn well might isn’t always right! On the other hand, their relationship isn’t exactly new, so may welcome the differences and figure out how to put them to work soonest, each contributing excellent points! Think it over, but don’t miss the opportunity!
By Saturday evening, Moon shall have crossed the rest of the Capricorn plants, Venus, Mercury and Pluto! She’s good with feminine Venus, both wanting work that produces valuable results, is good for women and children. With Mercury, Moon soaks up plenty of ideas on techniques, communications skills, is tapped in with more parts of the community than she knew existed! Pluto has excellent references and financial talents, has in depth healing skills both medical and psychological, he helps with retirement and wills.
Sun catches up with Mercury retrograde Jan 7. Some ideas will just stand out, sparkle and shine, but remember, it is inspiration that leads to further steps that must be taken! Sun is with Pluto the 19th. For some that will be a significant ending, for others a powerful, possibly a financially super successful day! Take a deep look. Sun lights up the deep well, maybe even the Kundalini! Venus speeds on ahead and she connects with Sun several signs away Aug 13 while Venus is retrograde.
The 10, 11, 12, 15, 16° connections! Mars in Gemini is retrograde and he already told them before. Well, LOL, that isn’t the reason anyone ever made a change! They are on their own Soul time and it takes the time it takes. Mars is the fire planet of Aries. If you are planning some work projects, they might go quite quickly, be innovative, up on the latest techniques! Mars in Gemini is good with his hands, learns quickly. 10° Gemini Mars Retro is sextile Aries Chiron at 11! There is going to be some fast healing, lots of vaccinations news. The word, sales and news, is going around and there is a lot of business, new varieties and startups. With Jupiter also in Aries now, there will be a LOT of independence!
16° Capricorn Venus has just trined Uranus at 15 Taurus with the North Node at 12. She has reassured them they are doing well. She told them her long term hopes and offered some points to make their work more attractive and to emphasize how valuable it is in today’s world of climate, health and political change. She reminded them how we can do better together and to keep networking.
Mercury, Saturn and Neptune are at 21 and 22°! This is the first set, while Mercury is Direct/moving forward – barely moving in this case because Mercury is slowing to Retrograde the 29th! 2023’s New Year chart has this same set of three but Mercury is Retrograde then, making the same sextile with Neptune! From the New Moon to New Year, Mercury and Neptune will be closely sextile in less than 3.5° of each other! See the New Year Chart! (Will add link when it is published!)
Mercury, Saturn and Neptune make a three point channel lined up in the last three signs of the Zodiac, Cap, AQ and Pisces, finishing current business! As the last signs, they hold innate wisdom. Mercury brings realistic perceptions, practical applications. Saturn brings respect and the honor of his work and in Aquarius, collective consciousness. Neptune is in his own sign Pisces, is the old Master of the Sea, the Spirit, our divine Soul. We aspire to all these things.
Capricorn Mercury sextiles Neptune, one logical, the other psychic. Yet Capricorn, with his outstanding realism is a psychic in his own right. No mincing about, straight to the point, tell it like it is. Period. Put all this together and we have a super perceptive Mercury, receptive to other worldly Neptune’s insights of the ages, both ancient and future. Capricorn is the sign of time and the ages, so is quite tuned to this access. Mercury can translate some of Neptune’s messages clearly for others to receive the information too. Neptune sees some of Mercury’s skepticism, rough edges, and softens that so Mercury can receive even more. Clarity and empathy go hand in hand.
In the Double Retrograde I say ‘Mercury sextiles Neptune in Pisces… Mercury may be super logical in Capricorn, a go by the book, is a 4X4 strong sign, but Capricorn always wants to do the best and be understood appreciatively. Neptune knows who he is and sees Mercury’s dreams. Neptune knows how to be with Mercury even though Mercury doesn’t trust Neptune at first. Neptune is truly unpredictable, but Mercury has a monkey mind no matter what sign he is in, and is intrigued in spite of himself! Neptune is the dreamer and has spontaneous ideas out of nowhere! They can be genius insights that prove their value more than we would have believed! Capricorn is quick to see how to use them, convert them, put them into play in a good way. Pisces is delighted! Mercury is not only adaptable, but spreads the word and they are all in business! Pisces prefers they will help people or the planet in some special way. The money doesn’t matter so much to Pisces, generally, but it certainly can fund his causes! Their work together may be artistic in some way – could be music and concerts! Videos and films of fairy tales with depth, delight and meaning, as fun as Harry Potter!’ See more in the Double Retrograde!
As humans, sometimes Mercury is more smart than loving, wants to be right. Capricorn can rule with an iron fist, harsh, and Pisces can be sadly addicted and out of control. Saturn is well placed at midpoint between Mercury and Neptune. Even if his demeanor is bossy, sometimes that is needed to get us to even try. He wants Mercury to balance that divine intelligence with kindness. He wants Pisces to get help if he can’t do it alone. No shame. For himself, he glimpses the effects when he is harsh and learns when it is needed or not. He becomes less rigid in his expectations. We all help each other.
The midpoint function is to connect equally with the others. The midpoint planet is the pivot point, hears both the others, translates key factors between them, influences both of them. Saturn holds a strong position, very efficient. Saturn lends professional wisdom to Mercury. In Capricorn, Saturn’s sign, Mercury reads Saturn true and comprehends the guidance. There is mutual respect. Saturn knows Neptune. He knows Neptune can’t be harnessed, but can be guided to an extent. Neptune is empathic, so understands what and why Saturn is asking. If Saturn needs a tuneup, Neptune transfuses ideas and skills to Saturn. Saturn is well pleased and puts them to work. In genius sign Aquarius, Saturn is lightning quick to catch on and spread the information through his networks! Building the new cutting edge Aquarian systems is speeded up tenfold and then some!
Neptune has a leading quality of his own… As the planet of the last sign of the Zodiac, in his own sign Pisces, he is the summary of all the signs. He is NOT linear like Saturn, Capricorn! Neptune is like an unfathomable San Francisco bay fog. Saturn may be by the book, but Neptune wanders with no particular reason, or so it seems. Intuitive guidance can be even more efficient. It doesn’t go by the ‘rules,’ but by instinct. Neptune goes straight, ignores distractions when on a mission, and arrives ahead of the others who had to follow the map. If there are ‘distractions,’ often something worthy and meaningful happens as a result! If the group gets jammed up somehow, Saturn throws in an Aquarian thunderbolt to keep their attention and break up the old pattern! He knows just how to do that. Be trustful and at Peace. It’s all good…
The last part of this configuration, the behind the scene anchor aspect, is the Neptune sextile Pluto. They are closely sextile, as they have been, off and on for many years and will be still for another 10 years! Jamie Partridge refers to them as ‘an inter-generational planetary aspect lasting from 1950 to 2032.’ They are the planets of Scorpio and Pisces, both psychic, and have been reading each other continuously. In fact we could almost read them as one planet. It’s like the long 13 year Chiron connection that happened with Uranus. Uranus has become more shamanistic at a humanitarian scale. Chiron has become more humanistic in his healing and teaching. So Pluto has become more empathic, not just the observer shaman, but Soul worker. Neptune has become more aware it’s not just spiritual principles, sitting in meditation, but real human suffering needs to be addressed specifically, person by person. We need a name for special years long aspects like this, having such duration and depth of passage. Chiron Semi-sextile Uranus
Over the years Neptune and Pluto have changed signs together! Pluto is a shamanic healer, has to do with life, Kundalini, sex, lifelong relationships, cleansing and detoxing, big money, research, and death. Pluto is not fainthearted. Danger is fascinating and comes in many forms. Dying to life is the game. The Great Mystery and revelation hold their attention. Fathomless Neptune is his friend. Neptune’s imagination and dreams know no bounds. Here is a worthy companion for one as intense as Pluto. Neptune can always read Pluto, but Pluto can’t always read as far as Neptune’s visions go! That is rare, so Pluto is always interested as he tries to decipher the code when there really isn’t one, LOL! Neptune heals the healer and Pluto wants to know how! They are powerful together and are both comfortable and wary of each other at the same time. Neither one knows the entirety of themselves. There is always an unpredictable element and they like it that way. They are elementally creative!
Pluto, Fixed Star Algol and the Galactic Center!
Pluto 27 Capricorn, Fixed Star Algol 26 TAURUS and the Galactic Center 27 Sagittarius!
Algol has the baddest rep of all the fixed stars. On the dark side, ‘It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens.’ Some say it’s not the ‘bad’ within us but pushing through blockages to the beauty beyond is what really matters. We can face our demons with sincere intent and life changes for the better! See more! As an individual event, things may not go well at all. If her feminine power force is called on as an ally, she may save your life or protect the Galactic Center from intruders!
Algol and the Galactic Center are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. CurrentlyAlgol is at 26 TAURUS and the GC is 27 Sag. Whenever one is activated, they both are. Algol and the GC have an oblique position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics. They ‘see’ peripheral factors that influence the outcome. Inconjuncts sometimes lead you on a goose chase, but maybe to greener pastures. You do get a greater perspective. Even if you go back home, you are different. You have perhaps made new friends and associates that can carry that sector for you, or be a link to that sector when you need it. Excellent adjustments are in the offing. Destination Algol would not usually be a conscious choice, but sometimes it is part of our Path and it just happens. Square your shoulders and do it, eyes wide open. Fascinating encounter.
The profound Galactic Center is in fiery Sagittarius, the sign between Scorpio and Capricorn. I imagine the GC is probably enjoying lots of laughs and adventure stories beyond our imagination! The Great Educator sends rays and bolts of information we are barely capable of downloading let alone understand, and it’s not on anyone’s schedule! The GC is the center of our Milky Way, a monumental power center encompassing huge knowledge. Sagittarius is the Teacher, traveler of the cosmos across dimensions beyond our understanding, yet it exists and we have access. The GC Stars send Light from aeons away, a subtle light, but perhaps even more potent because we can’t ‘see’ it and so don’t fight it. If your chart factors link up, you may find yourself having insights, both enlightening and perverse. We may know there have been consequences we didn’t realize. Some self forgiveness may be in order, apologies as appropriate. The Galactic Center offers stunning options in the magnitude of billions of stars, galaxies upon galaxies! More on the Galactic Center!
Capricorn is hosting Pluto. Pluto is trine Algol in Taurus and semi sextile The Galactic Center, piloting the whole scenario of these three powerful factors. By nature he is a no nonsense old Master and gives orders, expecting things to get done. All these three have street creds and are impressive. Capricorn has hung out with the best and functions well at this level. He treats them more equally both to himself and each other. It’s his job.
Pluto is now at 27° Capricorn and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Allowing a 3 degree range, anytime Pluto is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol at 26 Taurus 27. That period started Feb 2020 – virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines were formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20, & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022, Aug 29, Nov 16. The effect of this last exact trine is still with us since these are all slow moving factors. Pluto trine Algol
Pluto is an exceptionally powerful planet, so is quite comfy with the great forces! In Capricorn he is with the Masters, ones who rule kingdoms and the planet. Capricorn is a realist and Pluto a profound healer. They, Pluto, Algol, and the Galactic Center, see the times that are coming and are preparing the way for Pluto’s entry into Aquarius in 2023. For 21 years he will be called to apply his great strength in behalf of humanity.
Though leaving Capricorn March 23, 2023, soon, Pluto will still be in range trining Algol, just from a different sign, through Jan 2024! Capricorn is the keeper of tradition; Aquarius is a change maker futurist! Aquarius will add to the purposes of the trine. As an air sign, an evolutionist, new intriguing thinking will be introduced, new networks having greater scope will be formed. Not all the transitions will be smooth, each will need to get used to new ways of working together, but it will be exciting, even exhilarating!
Neptune at 22 Pisces sextiles Algol, squares the Galactic Center! The divine order is awry, and even a positive sextile with Algol can be a daunting affair. Can you trust her?! If she uses her miraculous feminine super powers some mighty saves may happen. Square the GC, Neptune, generally an open channel, may be overwhelmed, a rare thing to happen to Neptune, but the Dreamtime will be well stocked for a long time to come! Neptune will be in connection with them through 2024! With Neptune’s sextile to Pluto through 2032, there will be powerful releases from time to time that will influence Pluto’s phenomenal expression in Aquarius starting March 2023! Neptune’s great visions may prove to hold extraordinary keys.
Capricorn, the last Earth Sign, is infinitely practical. Instinctively he is gearing up for the coming changes. There have been a lot of major worldwide shifts, important indicators, in the last 3 years.
This is the Christmas New Moon! Time to Gather, share love, support, wisdom and inspiration. Blessed be!
2023’s First Lunar Event! Traditional Cancer/Capricorn are strongly connecting us to the world at large. Do your good part.
What Winter Sweet Song will you sing on your way? Where is the Full Wolf Moon leading you in 2023?
Capricorn Mercury is double retrograde with Gemini Mars until Jan 9, when Mars turns forward. For now he is in ‘station,’ seeming to stand still. He’s focusing, anchoring, resting. Mercury continues with his retrograde until Jan 18. Both have been going back, going ‘home,’ looking inward. Mercury is what you think, how you pay attention. Mars is what you do, though at this time, being in Gemini, one of Mercury’s two thinking signs, he is thinking and acting simultaneously! His prompt and affirmative action inspires Mercury, who in careful Capricorn, doesn’t always make an immediate leap. However, those amazing mountain goats are impressive when they do, and have incredible stamina! Mars Double Rx with Mercury!
We have yet another Bowl Chart bordered by the Full Moon axis at 16°! That 16° is important because this is the 3rd Full Moon at 16 and they will continue at 16 through April! That’s 7 months at 16, Aries/Libra to Libra/Aries!!! Bowl charts are a phenomena all their own! They collect, gather, spill, leak, fill and pour, are emptied and rain may fall in it. It serves food, shares bounty. Again, it is a reverse sign combination. Moon in the earlier sign leads; Sun in the later sign is the base planet.
Mama Moon is the lead planet, strong in her own sign Cancer! She is cooking, grows the garden, bandages the kid’s knees, has super instincts, keeps things comfy and money in the bank. She carries her place in the community, diligently studies, documents and keeps records and memories, loves antiques and genealogy. She listens to our woes and successes, gives charming advice that makes us be better people. We couldn’t do it without her.
Sun and that Mercury Retrograde are her opposites. Yoohoo…. She’s at the other end of the table this time. She has her feelings on her own. Capricorn Sun is noted for being hard working and he’s discussing the project with Mercury. Mercury has been changing his mind, so Sun is a little concerned and distracted, hoping things work out. He still knows Moon gives good advice, so checks in with her time to time. Mercury is all logical and in Capricorn by the book, but Sun is himself, in spite of the books, and Moon feels the trends of the times, the mood of the people. They will put it all together soon. Mercury goes forward soon.
They have been both annoyed an intrigued by their recent squares with Chiron in Aries. He is a bit abrupt these days, but feels there is no time to lose. He doesn’t want them to miss the boat! He has new ideas, the latest, and Capricorn and Cancer tend to be traditional. But Capricorn understands the timeliness of it all and is inclined to trial some of the suggestions! In spite of the challenges, Chiron gave them good advice about relationships and business. He is in Aries, so wants to see the best soonest. He is considered an old Shaman, so he’s intuitively adept at avoiding wounds, teaches self healing. And he’s quick about it. No nonsense or romanticism. The whole Bowl is glad to have his services.
They are still, by one degree, in a favorable trine/sextile with Taurus North Node and Uranus! Uranus is ahead of his time, but more smooth and patient in common sense Taurus. Uranus is being able to show the value of the change, demonstrate it, and set up and start the new processes rolling. There will be many people engaged, and more coming to help!
Sun has an investment in the new work and as the base planet, he leads from behind, telling people his responsibility and lighting the way, giving inspiration with his expectations. He is a straight shooter and people trust that because he has succeeded before, has a certain voice of authority! If there is a mistake or an adjustment to be made, they are on it! Mercury is right there with the references, data and details. He is sending the letters, getting the permits, getting consultants, keeping the team and press up to date! The North Node is a bit fated, and it’s the time!
They also are soon to make a trine/sextile with Neptune in his own sign Pisces! Moon, also in water, is loving to commune with her old friend and spiritual guide. Neptune loves her pure feminine energy, that she loves unconditionally. Few do. They sense the people, the planetary trends. They can make music and art together. She has memories that track the matriarch, that even Neptune has forgotten. They wish for the children of the world to carry us forward into new consensus past old sufferings.
Sun and Mercury are impressed by Neptune’s remarkable insights. They see the opportunities in Neptune’s dreams and want so much to build them. Neptune shows them possibilities they never expected. Neptune is so happy they have come his way and are making his dreams come true! These close connections lead to a spiritual rapport, a mutual empathy that gives them a glow others can see. It’s grace.
You can see how connected the Full Moon is within the chart. Moon and Sun will have great influence and the members of the Bowl will feed them well, keep the whole family humming! Moon and Sun will be extending the Bowl’s wishes and offerings to others outside the Bowl, and others will be supplying them with their needs!
Fiery Jupiter is hotter in that new fire light of Aries! It is especially time for fresh starts, taking a chance, for heroes and heroines! Jupiter loves physical action, games, races. Philosophizing is entertaining up to a point, but now in Aries, running, riding and racing, Jupiter wants to move! Storytelling is on the fly! Challenges are tasty! Going to new places puts speed in your shoes! When are the first tickets and tours available? Even new studies hold fascination, especially when you can learn on prem with the expert leaders! Championing great causes, making a profound difference is perfect! Shoot forward with Jupiter in Aries!
Venus has been admiring Jupiter taking ‘flight!’ She is in Aquarius, the sign of flight, and loves when the multitudes play their part making change! She has many friends that carry the word to others and collective happenings emerge! She’s close on her way to trine Mars, the Aries planet. He may be retrograde, but in Gemini, he’s dynamite with communications! He’s sassy, clever, wakes people up to new possibilities and they want to go with him right now! Venus has valuable information for him that will please his spirited Soul! Could be party time!
Saturn, at 23 Aquarius, is strongly maintaining Aquarius, building powerful networks for the future. He is dissolving outgrown friendships that we may move on with more time to do things in more purposeful relationships. New friendships are coming our way and life is more fascinating as we grow with the times! New extraordinary tools are coming with them allowing a keen flow of living. We are honing in on meaningful work. Do your good best!
Fixed Star Algol, Galactic Center/GC, and Pluto and Neptune!
Neptune 22 Pisces and Pluto, 27 Capricorn continue to channel major fixed star Algol 26 Taurus and the Galactic Center at 27 Sagittarius.
Pluto moves only 3° a year, retrograding back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Allowing a 3 degree range, anytime Pluto is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine fixed star Algol at 26 Taurus 27. That period started Feb 2020 – virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines were formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20, & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022, Aug 29, Nov 16. The effect of this last exact trine is still with us since these are all slow moving factors. Pluto trine Algol
The GC is the center of our Milky Way, a monumental power center encompassing huge knowledge. It comes to us across dimensions beyond our understanding, yet it exists and we have access. Capricorn is a sign of wisdom, so the transmission of the knowledge of the ages is readily received. The GC Stars send Light from aeons away, a subtle light, but perhaps even more potent because we can’t ‘see’ it and don’t fight or try to analyze it. If your chart factors link up, you may find yourself having insights, both enlightening and perverse.
The Galactic Center offers accessing stunning options in the magnitude of billions of stars, galaxies upon galaxies! We may only get inklings, impressions, but go for the most potent long term options you can conceive of. They are stepping stones to even greater options to come. Stretch, reach out of the box! Hang on and pull yourself up! There will be spirits out there reaching to help you along! More on the Galactic Center!
Neptune is sextile Algol, square the Galactic Center! The divine order is awry, and even a positive sextile with Algol can be a daunting affair. Can you trust her?! If she uses her miraculous feminine super powers some mighty saves may happen. Square the GC, Neptune, generally an open channel, may be overwhelmed, a rare thing to happen to Neptune, but the Dreamtime will be well stocked for a long time to come! With Neptune’s sextile to Pluto, there will be powerful releases from time to time that will influence Pluto’s phenomenal expression in Aquarius starting March 2023! Neptune’s great visions may prove to hold extraordinary keys.
March 23, 2023 Pluto enters Aquarius, a 248 year event! Now through 2044, 21 years, there will be significant world changes. Right now is the time to be strengthening our Aquarian and Uranian people, those factors in our own charts!
Cancer and Capricorn, more traditional, are strongly connecting us to the world at large. Do your own good part.
Next up is Sun Aquarius Jan 20, Saturday New Moon Jan 21 at 1 Aquarius 33, 12:53 PM Pacific! Then the Asian Lunar New Year of the Rabbit and Aquarian planet Uranus Direct the 22nd!

Ok, this has potential, LOL! Who knows what that will become? Omelet, with some later for Pizza, part of a salad, a veggie dish?! The best ingredient is the fun and love, time together!
From Moms and kids in the kitchen, sumptuous delivered freezer meals for the professional’s convenience, to incredibly catered celebrations, to the most sophisticated cuisine at the finest places presented by chefs with talents of the Gods, Cancer loves food!
Humble mashed potatoes take skill to make. Tasty playful pizza is always a creative venture. Sauces to die for make a meal come alive! An unusual ingredient keeps ’em guessing! Super special treats and desserts top off a fine meal, followed by a cheap or classy alcoholic drink, LOL! Cancers have their way with us!
And it’s not just the food. Ambiance counts! It can be a cozy kitchen on a cold day, watermelon on a hot summer evening! It can be chandeliers at the golf club or being at the famous hotel rooftop bar and restaurant or a comfortable beach side surfer cafe at sunset. Cancers know some of the best places and the best kept secrets and remember the recipes, and directions too!
Food is divine! Worldwide, from rice, to ceremonial specialties, Texas steaks to Asian delicacies, spicy Latin to unique African dishes, coastal fish and chips to mountain game, speckled bird eggs, Cancers are superlative collectors, having stunning traditional and awesome cultural recipes in addition to their fabulous cookbooks! An average citizen can make iconic meals. Cancer’s taste-buds have built in radar and they land right on the doorstep of the best foodies around, end up sitting with the right people on the plane!
Don’t be surprised to find your Cancer growing their own vegetables, raising their own chickens. Many top chefs today specialize in organic food, the freshest that can be, grown and gathered right by the kitchen! Cancers are motherly, and care so much about quality food for their children, family, all of us! They make special safe and nutritious food for their pets too! They go the extra mile! They are frugal about it too. They know where the best buys are, frequent farmer markets picking the most choice specials. Certain wines are inexpensive and taste great. They know it isn’t always the price but the touch of sharing together that counts.
Cancers are remarkable at food storage! They are the Summer Solstice sign, so camping, RV camping are right up their alley – they take their home with them! They do canning, probiotics, drying delicious veggies and fruits, make sun dried tomatoes, powdered herbs and spices, even make their own noodles and tasty desserts! Definitely budget winners and are super healthy snacks and meal treats for fellow campers!
As a water sign, Cancers pay special attention to drinks. Clean water always. Hot apple cider, cocoa in winter. Hot or cold teas for soothing, pick-me-ups, healing all year long. Smoothies are meals in their own right. Fruit for sweet, comfort. They use high quality ingredients, ie fresh blueberries for antioxidants, other add-ins, supplements that make for great nutrition and superlative health. Veggie and green smoothies have their own awesome benefits!
Pregnancy calls for its own special foods, often breaking the rules! It is a special affair, often not the same each time. Your Sweetie may be called to do your bidding, doing some midnight fetching. See your midwife for some traditional understanding! See your Doctor to be sensible! Always remember, you are eating for two, or more. What you eat makes a difference and too much fooling around can have consequences.
A common matter for Cancers is weight gain. They aren’t neurotic, they just like food, LOL! Well, maybe sometimes they are a little neurotic, like all of us. Yes, they can be, are, should be, emotional. They feel, are specially aware beings. As psychics, they know the nuances and it isn’t always pleasant. They worry about the kids, their mate, the family, their home, their work, money and security. They aren’t usually extreme athletes. They love to cook and eat. They taste as they go and lick the bowl. It’s a tough dilemma. Do sports feel good to you. You may like it more if it involves water, maybe swimming. You can vary the intensity depending on how you feel that day. If there are options and you can do more as you please, that helps because your feelings are always changing. Some like yoga because it is soothing yet requires strength. It also gives you time to reflect. Workouts at home may get you started. When you feel more comfortable, get on out there! You may end up out in front leading the class!
Cancers are terrific at business! Why not have a bed and breakfast?! A breakfast cafe? Bread shop. A classy restaurant?! A snack truck! Farmer Market booth. Be a meal planner and nutrition coach. Write a foodie column, about the best places to eat, a travel guide on cuisine in different cultures, write a cookbook or two or three! Have your own You Tube channel! Slant your writings to nutrition, per age groups! Be a voice for sustainable food! Check out these 84 Food Biz Ideas! If you don’t want to run a business, work for someone who is doing what you love!
Cancers are funny and dedicated, and, yes, sometimes crabby. Or maybe they just love crab cakes!

The sign lucky Jupiter is in, is the sign that succeeds and prospers. He is there for about a year each – pay attention to retrogrades that change signs! As Jupiter in Aquarius was super lucky for Aquarians, it is out of this world for Pisceans! Jupiter cheers them up, expands their already magical dimensions, gives them further faith and awareness, heals their spirits from addictions and fears. Major tours are possible and successful impossible dreams come true! It’s time to push the river a bit while the Gateway is open! Cancer is not always so happy with big bold Jupiter, but is fine with fellow water sign Pisces. Both are sensitive signs that help others. Cancer wants a home; Pisces lives in the Universe at large, assists Cancer finding the most suitable place. Jupiter’s travel experiences comes in handy too!
Adventurous Jupiter loves unstable ground, relishes making all the quick clever adjustments! Aquarius, the Awakener, gave him a lot to think about! Now Pisces has introduced further dimensions, ones where logic and rules are not always the norm. The dreamtime is another vast universe, truly unfathomable, the Great Mystery. In our daily affairs, Jupiter may exaggerate with no hope for reason, LOL! Pisces is perfectly happy with this, his magical side is cheering Jupiter on, it’s an exciting yarn! Pisces has dreams and Jupiter sees no reason why they can’t come true! The two of them can be utterly mischievous together! Jupiter can sometimes get all ethical and abhors addictions that disable. At first he may make things worse with his hard judgments, or he looks for ways to help his mates stand clean again, to be strong for their futures, to make the world a better place. Your intuition may surge to overwhelming dimensions!
Jupiter is the only planet that changes signs in 2022. He previewed Pisces briefly from May 13 to July 28 2021. He returned to Pisces December 28, 2021. In 2022 Jupiter sped completely through Pisces into Aries in only 5 months, on May 10,after his sextile with Pluto, the last 2022 outer planet to planet aspect! Cancer starts 2022 with Jupiter in feisty Aries, standing for personal rights and independence! Cancer has chosen certain causes and Jupiter and Aries both want rights for women and children, home ownership, the right to do independent family owned ma and pa businesses. They want the right to have cultural and religious freedom. Cancer may shy away from high volume Jupiter Aries or sing their songs with them at top level! If Jupiter Aries go against Cancer’s position, no amount of noise will keep Cancers from defending their own. Cancers are the moms that lift cars off their kids They are moms and deserve respect.. And they generally have a lot of allies. Think twice before rushing in. A little thoughtful collaboration would be much more fruitful.
The May 10 shift was emphasized by the two sign, Taurus/Gemini Mercury retrograde 8 day station,4 days before and after! Mercury was at 4 Gemini 51, thinking intensely about what this Pisces to Aries transition was all about. How is Pisces providing the foundation for that change?! What is the purpose for Jupiter’s new work in Aries? What can be said to facilitate this 12 year turning point? Some will feel left behind while others can’t wait to get going on new ground! Stations focus, contemplate, anchor the keeper thoughts. Don’t worry if your thoughts change a 1000 times! That’s a healthy perusal of the possibilities! Stay with it! Sift through them for the gems.
A 12 year change that isn’t done yet! Jupiter retrogrades back into Pisces Oct 27 to Dec 20, 2022. The next day is Winter Solstice, the belly of winter, Jupiter is back in Aries. From there are the seeds of new beginnings, the ‘return of the Light!’ Aries is self motivated, always in motion, looking for action, taking the cause to the forefront! It’s rolling onward in Aries, gaining momentum, no going back! From then on until May 16, 2023 he finishes Aries, enters Taurus. What a shift that will be, a damper for some, a rest for others! It will heat up education and advocacy for Earth, our environment we call home. Some have been waiting so long for the coming significant changes.
It’s one thing to make your vows in Pisces, another to take action in Aries! Pisces is what you believe in. Some say ‘Do not ask God to guide your footsteps if you are not willing to move your feet (Pisces).’ The last sign, Pisces carries the Dreams of all the signs. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, the first responders. Initiation means more than taking a title. It means doing your vows. Aries are brave leaders, risk takers, rights fighters. They often have to make instant decisions to save lives. They are fiery Spirits that operate on instant instinct, thank goodness! Consulting is one of their best talents. Listen keenly. Ask your questions right now while they are there with you. They will be gone to the next fire quickly. Staying physically fit is essential and can be totally enjoyable. Prowess feels super! Independence is strong. Ride your bike! See more Jupiter in Pisces See more Jupiter in Aries
Jupiter is looking for purpose with integrity! It takes a core truth and educates as many as will listen to why it is meaningful and worthy. Jupiter has a bold and confident way, expands, embellishes, emphasizes, gives extra! It’s edifying, LOL! Jupiter likes to play and tell whopper stories, laughs big laughs with gusto, has a great big dog and rides the winning horse! In Aries a lot of ground will be traveled, and quickly too! Sparks will fly off his horse’s hooves! Speed is a delight. Records will be broken! Skating, surfing, skiing, biking! Wow!
As Jupiter connects with our personal chart factors during its time in Aries, we will feel like time has sped up, cant’ do things quickly enough! Aries intends to lead us to greener pastures or new and different places, even just to see what we can see! Jupiter teaches new techniques, tells stories of wonder, goes on adventurous travels! In Aries he tells of heroes, survival, self sufficiency, independence! There is a buoyant physicality – walking, skating, bike riding, a cross country trip for a cause! Though Cancer can be a stay-at-home type, a camper with the comforts of home can entice them on adventures in new places. Cancer is an action type, but prefers some think-it-over time too. Jupiter may think Cancer is not listening so speaks louder, but that is not the case. A big smile and gallant opinions aren’t enough. Cancer goes by gut instinct and her own comfort zone, the simplicity of gingham. As a protector of her people things may just have to go a little slower and prove out as they go. Then, Cancer will take the photos and go public.
If Cancer is of the mind that it’s been the old ways long enough, she may be happily jolted by Jupiter’s sophisticated travels’ ideas that bring new perspectives. He can be a little self righteous at times, but generally his intent is good. Depending on who the story is for, friends or the press, Cancer may have to do a little fact checking at times and she’s good at it. It is easy for Jupiter to get a little carried away.
Pisces’s seeing who and what needs help, inspires natural born hero Aries to jump in head first! People are snatched out of harm’s way, saved quickly when possible. With good physical therapy and an inspired happy to be alive client, people’s spirits are reawakened and they are back on their feet in no time. In turn, they become inspirational converts and cohorts to do it now and do your best! We are born again, Initiations to new levels happen. Gratitude is a top word in our story!
As Aquarian and Piscean talents were commingled, the Path between them becoming a usable channel, so will Jupiter in Pisces and Aries develop their own smooth channel. In their case it will be super aware, sensitive, instantly reactive! Hopefully groups of crusaders will attract and further develop adept leaders, rich with innovative foresight! When Pluto enters Aquarius Jupiter will be at 17° Aries in a FIVE planet Aries stellium! Aries is THE Action sign! That’s what I call a NEW beginning!
2022 is a very different year.
All three of 2022’s aspectshappen only once each,are done at May 3, in just over 5 months! All will be formed while Jupiter is in Pisces. From then on it will be putting our discoveries into practice. It will be time to anchor, maintain good ground gained, finesse our current gains, strengthen our Aquarian skills and Aquarian people in view of the March 23, 2023 Pluto into Aquarius for 21 years. Jupiter in Pisces will show us the glorious maturity, endings and dreams of Pisces as the last sign of the Zodiac, and what the first sign of the Zodiac, Aries, will work for. It will be good to rest and relax, then stretch our physical and spiritual muscles and take action!
May 3 Jupiter in Pisces sextiled Pluto in Capricorn Once. It was the third and last 2022 planets aspect and Jupiter’s last aspect in Pisces!
The one with the answers walks among us. Some are invisible, some seem ordinary, others really are simply easily sneaky. This could have been a super wealth aspect to check back on, see how investments of that time are doing. In Pisces, wealth can just come upon us, Pisces not always caring about money at all, but if it pays for working your dream, cause, you are ecstatically happy! It may fund your retirement. It can be a cure for old age ailments. Just do what you love and profound healings occur or you simply self equalize your system by forgetting you were ill! Time for dreams to become true through laws à la the Right of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. An obscure place or peoples (Ukraine?), maybe an indigenous group, become especially important. An extinct animal may reappear or come from frozen wastelands. Maybe you will find the work of your soul! There are many extreme, extremely valuable possibilities that could come with this combination. Pay attention; look below the surface… Be careful not to put your hands or feet where you can’t see… Being lost may be the invitation to a new life. Get the keys to the locks and cross the threshold…or just bully through! They really won’t be surprised to receive you, LOL! The Threshold, Portal, is a sacred place. Hope you didn’t miss it. It activated those of you with chart factors close to 28 Pisces/Capricorn 35. See more!
The earth and water factors of this sextile were good with Cancer. Jupiter in Pisces could have brought blessings from a distance. Water systems generally worked well and clean water was available. Water collection, diversion to farmland and yard trees were slated to be wisely put in use. Stones, soil and bioswales brought water to dry places. We are paying attention to aging, any addictions we hold, clear our negative feelings, do more yoga to flow and relax, swim to clear our lungs, strengthen our bodies. We are busy perusing dreams that show us the way. Noting how we feel, subtle sensitivities we have, may guide us to more comfortable decisions. Wishing to do better financially may be the blessing that helps us choose work that speaks to our spirit. Relationships formed may become long and true! More about Jupiter in Pisces.
If your changes include moving, take a look at maps that show areas of conflict, drought. Conflicts take years of recovery; droughts take years of remediation. See your AstroLocality astrologer for advices on personal locations best for what! Depending on your finances, be cautious about moves during retrograde periods. If it is a necessity at a retrograde time, know that there will be further changes and the costs that go with it. Factor that in. If you are buying a home as well, top priority may be that it is a good investment per resale value since you may change your mind about keeping it. Renting is recommended until times are more stable.
All of 2022 Saturn is in Aquarius. Saturn, Capricorn’s builder planet, brings oddly variable Aquarian talents together, builds extraordinary resource consulting networks. He is able to tap the connections, make astute changes quickly, grab them while they are available. The changes have enhanced Saturn business immeasurably! Saturn is generally a more serious end game planet. Necessity and timeliness are important. It may feel heavy to Cancer, but as Saturn/Capricorn’s opposite, Cancer understands. Cancer is grateful for Saturn seriously committed to providing food and shelter, holding an honored place in the community, working hard professionally. Saturn is grateful for Cancer’s recognition and admiration. The networks he is building are crucial to keep his family and friends on the cutting edge as the planet changes. The sciences and research he follows help them all go forward more comfortably.
Portals are all around us. Some are temporary, some are always there. Some are annual like the August 8 Lion’s Gate. No two are alike, take us different places. Some are one way, others are two way but perhaps only at certain intervals – you have to be there or… Some lifetimes there are none, others have several passages. And there are the portals into and out of life.
2023 features Jupiter and Saturn Sign Changes and Super Portal, Pluto’s entry into Aquarius!
Jupiter makes three planetary aspects, conjunct Chiron in Aries, square Pluto and sextile Saturn. The first is Jupiter conjunct Chiron, a once only event. Jupiter and Aries can easily overdo things, may fall into injury, ills may be exacerbated, made much of, or remarkably quickly healed!!! If difficult, it may be important steps of your growth process. Major cures may be sought, finally! Lucky Jupiter gives public education, publicity and perspective, generally has excellent personal health – a perfect poster person! Chiron is the old shamanic healer tested by the Gods! In Aries he imposes his independence, uses cutting edge techniques and remedies, hopefully to your great advantage! Neither Jupiter nor Aries are the marrying kind unless there are other chart factors that change the balance, so don’t fall in love with the Dr., but they can have super adventures together, LOL!
Cancer will be in favor of some of the new healing discoveries and possibilities though she comes from a long line of midwives and doulas that used natural healing for centuries. There is a possibility cures or significant breakthroughs will be made in birthing matters, and with some long standing illnesses. Caregivers will need training in new techniques.
Later in the year Jupiter enters Taurus and squares Pluto May 16/17 at 0 Taurus/Aquarius! That will be a tough transition for many, involving major financial matters, extreme weather. If Cancer stays tuned, she will be prepared, and have backup plans in order if needed. Time to regroup on location choices and building sustainably. Ultimately there is less cost. We will talk more about that in months to come and in the 2023 Annual Special Edition.
Saturn previewed Aquarius Mar 21 to July 1 2020, returned to Aquarius Dec 18 2020. He is still in AQ now, will enter Pisces March 7, 2023 before Jupiter conjuncts Chiron in Aries March 11, the entire Mars retrograde cycle ends March 16, and Pluto enters Aquarius March 23! That will be a challenging time of unknowns, demanding circumstances, a combination of soothing the wild, maintaining a stable foundation of many years in the making, and facing outright rebellion! For some it will be an explosion of consciousness! Some will be tightly perched on the abyss not ready to let go. If it doesn’t activate your chart in any way, you may wonder why all the fuss?
Saturn in Pisces Compared with Pisces’ sensitivity, Saturn can seem to be a brutally blunt instrument. Pisces is not used to being limited or channeled by someone else’s command. Saturn may bar or protect you from an experience, or demand you to take your responsibility in its behalf! Either can be a blessing or an ordeal, probably a little of both until they get used to each other. Pisces understands Saturn all too well. Sometimes he just loves giving orders. Pisces wants so much more. Orders without a spiritual cause, without Soul are short of the mark. Saturn may be a bit shy about that factor. He may be a little intimidated by this limitless wonder who often calls the shots better than any business man Saturn has ever encountered. Respect starts. Pisces realizes Saturn is more deep than anticipated and has good intent though Saturn’s demeanor may belie that at first.
Saturn is generally in a sign about 2 1/2 years, so we aren’t talking about a minor experience. As it traverses ALL your chart factors, you will feel different facets of the experience. Some will be more difficult than others. You might see your astrologer to track its path while in the sign. If you are a Pisces, a super sensitive sign, you especially may find it helpful, collecting your powers and applying them with astute psychic accuracy. When Saturn believes you, he will do his best to see your dreams built and come true! You will be having your Saturn Return, a profound time of knowing the Dharma of your life, refreshing, updating your outlook on your purpose this life.
Cancer, Saturn’s sign Capricorn’s opposite, stands back, watching. She notes and remembers the processes. She sees Pisces working his magic, planting visions in Saturn’s attention. Some are reminders of Saturn’s old dreams of his own! Saturn recognizes them and finds a way to get to work. Perhaps they will work this time! Cancer sees how worthy they are and that they will stand the test of time. She rouses the community and it becomes like a barn raising that happens unbelievably quickly. She offers insights, encouragement, sings, brings some of her matriarchal tribal traditions into play. From time to time, Cancer alerts Saturn, that the schematics need some updating. The outcome may fulfill a prophecy. The structure itself will create more…almost like a living immortality, a temple of a kind. Pisces sees the sorrows and chronic sicknesses like addictions, while also seeing the visions and dreams of the Miracles yet to come! Our attention shifts percentage to making sufficient changes for a successful future.
With Saturn in Pisces, there will be less wandering aimlessly, confirmation of the realities of dreams, daily visible progress, oceanic environmental laws to be made. They will survey the seas and shores, the importance of millions of miles of shorelines, prevention of pollution – debris and chemicals, assurance of abundant long term ocean harvests. Saturn may find himself on an ocean safari while in Pisces, or gone on the wind taking the computers to the surf zone when the surf’s up, whichever continent that may be on! Working from ‘home’ takes on new meaning! Really! Can be done! Motherly Cancer may find herself proud to be involved with new enterprises along theses lines.
Pluto makes that stupendous 248 year sign change into Aquarius Mar 23, 2023! We need Aquarius to be strong, in working order, integrated and grounded among ourselves, in our communities, internationally.
We need to strengthen our Aquarian young people, our future leaders, and all Aquarians! Pluto is tough on the sign it is in and at the same time empowers them! Pluto’s sign Scorpio squares, challenges Aquarius, so Pluto will be especially tense in Aquarius. Growing pains take strength. Take time to listen, cheer them on. Admire their broad scope, how they get teams going, their care for humanity and our planet, their inventions and science. Help them know how to carry on even when they are not appreciated or understood. They are so intelligent, ahead of their time, that not everyone will understand their work, yet the work needs doing.
Preparation for Pluto entering Aquarius will take steady and dedicated work, staying focused. Everything about how groups and friendships work, even now the Souls who can do this need to be gathered and trained and to practice. The importance and techniques of research, knowing how change is brought about successfully, are the goals. The foundation needs to be set. It has been and will continue to be explored, tested and trialed by Saturn and in the remaining 2022.
Pluto in Aquarius will bring a new time. Pluto is Scorpio’s planet and Pluto/Aquarius are not exactly ‘compatible.’ Pluto has a ton of charisma, yet is as much private as Aquarius can’t help but bring attention by his simple presence. AQ is exotic, super intelligent, often revels in neon colors, odd/unique looks and attire, has electric static. He can get attention for being THE archetypal loner, or the brilliant head of a world humanitarian organization. Pluto is used to going it alone and having plenty of behind the scenes power, but Aquarius may be calling on the pantheon that collectively has more power than Pluto and his corporations! Transparency is called for. Pluto is going to have some adjusting to do. He may be concerned for loss of privacy, be a bit jealous too. At the very worst, there could be power struggles for world rule, including genocide. Or they will synthesize for mutual goals. They will do fundraising like never seen before! Pluto may gather the world’s top wealthy humanitarians and sustainable advocates and make governments of countries look small in comparison. Since these groups will have no governmental constraints, they may bring the world together when governments couldn’t. By comparison, the financially unsupported United Nations may become passé, or it’s possible, its structure already in place, it may be revitalized! Comprehensive large scale inventor/researcher work could do very well to sustain and amplify their efforts.
Pluto will be in Aquarius 21 years, until January 2044!
All the Aquarian flavored aspects we had in 2021, early 2022, have given us a head start. We’ll do Pluto in Aquarius better! Pluto was last in Aquarius 246 years ago,1777 to 1799, a 22 year period of worldwide uproar and change – American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution in England. And it won’t be any different this time! Guarantee! So get your friends and alliances/networks in working order, stand up, get used to acting progressively, and be ready to roll! Some will mightily resist; others will persist with new ideas. Change will beget change. Take a peek at what Patrick Watson has to say on Pluto per sign historically. Check out what Lynn Hayes has to say about what Dylan Love has to say on transhumanism.
Since that last 246 years ago we now have bombs, climate change, a pandemic, electronic communication, robotics, and a helluva a lot more people on the planet. In the 1700s there were an estimated 603M, at the end of 2021, 7.9B. Water and weather wars are possible. Actually, water wars are already starting – pollution prevention, Detroit, Standing Rock. We need to reassess our mandates for leadership – age and both physical and mental health. There are going to be some bumps. Some say, after the kinks are worked out, there will be a ‘Golden Age!’ Make it so. Or maybe that would be just toooo boring and other things will happen, LOL! Next! Evolution is no quitter!
Young people born around 2003 will be about 20 in March 2023 and from 20 until they are 41, they will live this period. Their lives will be about this world changing time. Help them now. Prepare them to be strong and steady leaders. Strengthen everything Aquarius in your life. Cancer may feel called on to specially prepare and assist these young people. She has plenty of grassroots experience working with her local community. She simply shifts the scale to the world community. Just like any Mom coordinating the family, she collaborates with other Moms of the World Family!
Enjoy these powerful intense times! The possibilities are compelling!
The Galactic Center, Fixed Star Algol and Planet Pluto!
All three of these are dark characters! The GC is a gigantic black hole! Algol has a dark reputation, ie beheadings, when your lights go out. Pluto, ruler of the underworld, is the furthest planet from the Sun, the darkest and frozen to boot!
Fixed star ALGOL and the GC are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. Currently Algol is at 26 Taurus and the GC is 27 Sagittarius. Whenever one is activated, so is the other. Algol and the GC have an oblique off center position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics. They ‘see’ peripheral factors that influence the outcome. Inconjuncts sometimes lead you on a goose chase, but maybe to greener pastures. You do get a greater perspective. Even if you go back home, you are different. You have perhaps made new friends and associates that can carry that sector for you. Excellent adjustments are in the offing. Destination Algol would not usually be a conscious choice, but sometimes it is part of our Path and it just happens. Square your shoulders and do it, eyes wide open. Fascinating encounter.
Algol is the baddest Star according to some! It is a rare triple star and eclipsing binary, which means it blinks, and changes brightness, even ‘disappears!’ It is the Medusa’s Head, carried in the left hand of the Hero, Perseus. On the dark side, ‘It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens.’ Some say it’s not the ‘bad’ within us but pushing through blockages to the beauty beyond is what really matters. We can face our demons with sincere intent and life changes for the better! See more! See more about the spiritual side…
Algol’s bad rep, strikes fear in a lot of hearts, but so does the Galactic Center when people find out it is one gigantic black hole!!! You could vanish in an instant! You astral travelers might should be careful? I like to think of Algol as the GC’s Guardian. Algol is considered to be a super powerful feminine force. It would take such an entity to protect the mighty GC! Their off center relationship may take you on the road less followed, so to speak. There is a draw to explore. Algol is ready to stomp her feet and ‘invite’ you to travel, or takes you another place once the GC’s info has been bestowed, a place that needs the information the most.
Many give Algol a wide berth, plan carefully astrologically. To be on the safe side, Astrologers often allow 5 degrees for the effective range with Algol while most stars get only 1 degree range. If in neighboring signs, only 3 or less degrees might be used. If you have chart factors in that 5 degree range, one way or another you are connected with Algol. If you have questions, do see your astrologer.
Pluto is now at 27 Capricorn and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Anytime it is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol. That period started Feb 2020, virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines are formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20,& June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022 on the Full Wolf Moon, Aug 29, Nov 16.
Pluto has been having the Algol experience, and is one of the few who can stand up under this trial. Very luckily, the trine is the most favorable angle, so though not unscathed, he survives. Both Pluto and Algol are respected and incur life and death situations. One hopes the trine bends the relationship with Algol to a more satisfactory outcome. Earth signs, like Capricorn, especially being the last Earth sign, are a bit ‘indelible.’ Their effects are more long lasting. Keep turning the tables on Algol’s bad rep. Stay calm in the face of violence, even your own anger. Shift your connections so better can happen. Know your rights and choose safety unless/even if you are trying to save someone’s life. If you are the offender, get all the help you can to change. Many a fine leader has come from a dark place.
Cancer has always been a caring Mother type and been good in business. Behind the scenes, late 24 to 29 degree Cancers may be cutting a deal with Algol! They understand the pains they have shared at the hands of brutality, being misunderstood and demonized. A part of what they do may have an element of revenge, like diverting monies away from people who commit financial theft in their dealings with unknowing people. If Pluto is square with them, they will include him in a good way. The Galactic Center distributes knowledge equally. Together they all can make a significant difference. And that’s good business!
Returns! Returns are a special time when the planet comes back to your original birth point. It reminds you of the purity of its purpose in your life. Saturn refreshes your outlook on your Dharma, the work of your Soul. Jupiter refreshes your gift of how you teach!
Those of you with your Saturn’s from 18 Aquarius to 7 Pisces will be having your 28/29 year Saturn Returns in Cancer’s year!
11/12 year Jupiter Returns will be from 28 Pisces to 7 Taurus in this Cancer year.
Lunar patterns!
Late 2022-23:
New Moons Sep and Oct 2022 are at 2 degrees. Nov to Feb 2023 are at 1 degree. March is at 0. Aquila’s Fixed Star Altair is at 1 Aquarius. Full Moons Oct 2022 to April 2023 are at 16 degrees! 7 Months! Orion’s Fixed Star Rigel is at 16 Gemini!
Those of you with factors at or within 3 degrees of these will be activated! Set your goals for these periods and approach them progressively from every angle, every sign! Your project will gain volume and wholeness as you go ~ Lay out your plan per sign then expect to update as you grow with it and more possibilities become apparent, available!
Bless your beautiful hearts, Cancers! There aren’t words enough to thank you for all we feel!
Updated for each sign For more details see your 2022AstroLogical Annual Planning Special Edition Newsletter to make all your plans potent and well timed! See your astrologer for how they connect with your personal chart!

So inspired by these many summer solstice food traditions, I decided to a do a little baking ritual of my own – midsummer sun cookies! Infused with herby aromatic flavours and flowers of the sun (like rosemary, thyme, lavender, and sage) then coloured golden with a few drops of orangey St.John’s tincture and adorned with symbols of the sun – they would be food magic indeed.
And I think they turned out beautifully. So if you’re looking for a way to mark the turn of the seasons and connect with mother nature, celebrate Gathering Day. Summer solstice festivities traditionally occurred somewhere between June 20th to early July according to differing calendars. So you have plenty of time! They are almost too pretty to eat!
Happy Birthdays, Dear, Dear, Cancers!
Take some time out… Caravan someplace special this summer! Glacier National Park, which is over a million acres in size, is tucked in the far north of Montana, right on the Canadian border. In fact, the park is the first international peace park, together with Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada. Both parks are filled with mountains and valleys carved from glacial forces, and both have active glaciers, too. This is Two Medicine Campground by Jennifer Nealy

Thrifty Cancer can make a cozy, simple, charming and inexpensive living space! svetikd / Getty Images
First is getting a home. Whether buying, renting, or sharing, building your own, living in an international hotel of many cultures and cuisines, it’s a place you want to feel safe and loved. Owning is a soulful luxury for many. Some have palaces! Others have respectful landlords who care just like family. Sharing with good friends or loved ones may be age, socially or politically specific. Special interest communities can share expenses, work for mutual goals, or just enjoy each others’ company or all of the above!
Choosing your country, state, your city or rural area, make a huge climate difference, affect your availability of resources and utility prices, availability of food, may influence your choice of work, work options. Your neighbor(s), coworkers, can become like family over time, from gatherings at the town summer social to apartment barbeques, to the roommates who watch your kids or take care of your pets while you are on vacation.
If you consider Feng Shui, location, property layout, contours of the buildings may take on special importance. Some homes are just more lucky than others.
Making it your own is a wonderful experience from the ground up! The internals: Lighting opens the doors of Spirit, lights the corners of our Souls, invites exploration. Windows may allow a floodlit room with magnificent sunrises and sunsets. Skylights may spotlight sacred alcoves, brighten a dark area or diffuse and soft light your work-at-home space. Plumbing may include a pretty bathroom, great tub and/or shower, a spa, water saving fixtures. Painting changes our temperatures, our moods. Textures and colors, some bouncy, others soothing get us started, bring peaceful sleep, can be refreshing. Flooring makes a difference in how you feel on your feet, barefooted. It can integrate your feelings with your place of choice. Will it be tiles, boards, carpet, rugs? Color and design, patterns can echo current needs.
The kitchen is the hearth of your home. It inspires your food choices, your health. If you share mealtime prayers and gratitude for the good of the day, it reminds you who you are in your heart. If you bake, get the best stove! Make your own tortillas! If you are a fresh organic veggies type, have the amazing tools so you can make special presentations! Maybe you make smoothies, sweet berry and granola cosmic parfaits, or you make veg drinks that keep you spry and athletic! Dinner may be a feast or a light meal. The kitchen area needs comfortable seating, good lighting to be a meeting and sharing space.
Bedrooms are so different for everyone. Some need warm colors, pillows and nests, flannel sheets and great comforters! Others like it light and free, silvers and blues, lots of flowing air, spaciousness, high ceilings, skylights like portals to the beyond! Some like nooks, hidey places, a simple cot will do. Make your space a place where you feel safe, where your subconscious can let go and sleep the deep including dreams of the galaxy, your next amazing item to bake, the solution to a problem at work, what your child needs next!
Landscaping is the welcoming mat of your place. A living flowering plant in a container at your doorstep may be all you can do, but it tells your story. You might have flowering vines over the arch at the entrance to your yard. Beautiful scents may fill your home and heal your Spirit. You may have a scant formal elegant style with subtle design features. You may love the bountiful topsy turvy English cottage look. How about a grand tree or mini orchard?! Could be a food source tree, fruits, nuts. Maybe it’s just that grassy yard your kids and pets love. Rain garden or water saving bioswales and cobble water way to water your trees. Give us your best and glory in it!
Many work at home and a great office or work space or studio is essential. If you are the room-with-a-view type, put in a bigger window with large panes. If you want no distractions and like it cozy, see to it! Put in a special lamp or two that give light right where you need it. You may prefer no clutter or find some photos you took or special art inspiring. Make it yours. You will work better, enjoy your work more.
Extra accommodations for visitors or special needs family members could be an important choice for you. Being social expands our world in so many ways. It can be a tiny ‘home’ type arrangement, a She Shed, or an inside one-of-the-family room for when the adult kids or special friends pay a visit. In case of sickness or having an elder on board, this special room can be set up to minimize your tending, ease the needs of the person you are caring for.
You might enjoy a terrific greenhouse for your plants, a shed that is practically a part of the family. A tree house? Compost accommodations. Ah, a barn for your critters! A pool?!
Stand back. Take a good look at your surroundings. Have you gradually accepted things as they are, given up or forgotten what you used to want to do? Are you up-to-date? Maybe times have changed and you have outgrown how it was. Do you need an entire move? Would some small but key changes be just right? Do you need some help to get it done? Does it nag at your consciousness or make your day smooth, without giving it a thought?
Play with it, be creative, put your own stamp on it! Adore it! You can do a lot with a small space, a lot with anywhere you are!
Cancers, you are the Best! We so dearly thank you for the special places you make for us, where we live but especially in your heart!
Gemini and Cancer are the first signs that happen wholly whileJupiter is in Pisces this year! Later, Aquarius, Pisces and Aries will also be wholly while Jupiter is in Pisces. Other signs will be partially while Jupiter is in Pisces, and some not at all. Jupiter, now retrograde, is moving slowly, will be in only 0, 1 and 2 degreesW during Cancer, so few will be directly affected by Sun sign directly, but it will be potent if they are. At 1 and 2 degrees, Jupiter will be in a 1 degree station May 26 to July 16, 51 days! Those of you with factors at those degrees will be engaged for that period of time.
Cancer and Pisces are both sensitive water signs favorably trine each other. Cancer is noted for her caring, nurturing no matter what or who, but especially children, especially her own! Pisces is sensitive to his own feelings and everyone else’s too, wants to save us all. Cancer is always busy, children just can’t be left alone, dinner time rolls around again. Pisces is often overwhelmed and needs solitude to restore himself. Jupiter often makes social faux pas, but generally is forgiven because in spite of the hurt it may cause, because his intent is good and what is said is simply the truth like it or not. But sometimes one or another person, doesn’t forgive. It, the timing, or the way it was said, possibly exaggerated, laughed at, leaves a scar, and there will be consequences. You could lose a friend. Cancer has a long memory. Sometimes Jupiter is blythe, unknowing. It may take a Cancer to teach him that others have feelings and for good reasons we must care more than for our reputation for being clever or at another’s expense. It wasn’t funny that time.
If Cancer has been hiding her past, maybe it’s high time to come out! Jupiter can help give you perspective, confidence, know it’s not as bad as you feared. Those were your parents’ cultural fears. Some of your past really IS funny. Have a hearty laugh and know you are loved as you are now, with all your foibles. You’ve been as good as you could. Makes a touching tender story. Faith and struggles move us forward against the odds.
Many 2021 charts are Bowls, rare Bundles, and Buckets! They are a concentrated force, the Feb 11 2021 SIX planet air sign Aquarius New Moon stellium Bundle Chart was a super example!All the planets were in a potent 113 degrees, less than a third of the wheel! See more about Bowls and Bundles If a singular planet or a pair or cluster of very close planets venture beyond these formations, a Bucket Chart is formed, emphasis on these ‘handle’ planets. If several planets loosely spaced move opposite the base group, a Seesaw Chart is formed, planetary oppositions common. In these times when the slow moving outer planets are closely together, the base group is steady. The Bundles and Bowls alternate with the Buckets and Seesaws as ‘inner’ planets, Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus, sometimes Mars, proceed on their own out of the base group during the year. In her 27 day cycle, Moon jumps out ahead every month.
2021 is a super special AQUARIAN TIME! The February 11 SIX planets stellium Aquarian New Moon may have inaugurated a 2nd wave of the ‘Dawning of the Age of Aquarius!’ 59 Years ago in Feb 1962, the New Moon Eclipse chart had seven Aquarian planets and lasted longer. Saturn and Jupiter are in Aquarius, made the Great Conjunction Solstice Dec 21 2020! 2015 to 2024 Uranus, the planet of Aquarius, has been and is the lead outer planet. 2021 has numerous outer planet aspects in Aquarius and ones formed to Aquarius’s planet Uranus, plus, Jupiter sextiles the Galactic Center three times! These prepare us for Pluto entering Aquarius March 2023, Pluto on a 248 year cycle!
Mind you, the Ages are long, roughly every 2,150 years. Even 100 years would be a reasonable time frame for a transition from one to another. I think we could easily include 1962 and 2020/21 events and Pluto’s sign change into Aquarius in 2023 as part of the process. Pluto takes 248 years to circuit the zodiac. FYI the ages are reversed through the signs due to the Precession of Equinoxes. The previous age was Pisces, so we are now backing into the last degrees of Aquarius.
Going back to recent planetary action, Saturn and Jupiter just made the leap for freedom, went into Aquarius Dec 16 and 19, made the GREAT CONJUNCTION Winter Solstice Dec 21! As one journey ends another begins. Pluto is in its final years of being in Capricorn. Pluto holds the power of life and death, represents the Phoenix that rises from its own ashes. In our lives that can be represented by poverty, bankruptcy, turned to wealth and powerful relationships. Capricorn is the mountain goat that rises to the heights, has staying power in extreme conditions, oversees, makes the laws, is the most efficient of all the signs, a survivor due to his own talents.
To make this Capricorn facet more potent, Saturn, Capricorn’s planet, and Jupiter were with Pluto as his support team! The difficult part was the Jan 12 2020 Saturn conjunct Pluto that probably brought the Virus, and Jupiter, a traveler, that had a role in transmitting it from China to other places. Yet, Pluto will continue to make impressive progress these last few years even though Saturn and Jupiter have left him, now are in Aquarius. He may do even better because they have changed signs, leading him, wanting collaboration with the people to cure and heal, prevent more illness – and not just the virus, but working other matters as well. Since Pluto will be going into Aquarius March 2023, their work now is critical, paving the way for him.
Jupiter in Aquarius will bring a year of exceptional opportunities, especially for Aquarians! The sign lucky Jupiter is in, is the sign that succeeds and prospers! Saturn’s previous entry into Aquarius virtually shut down the airlines; Jupiter will revive them given certain conditions! Airlines, electronics, communications, organizations for sustainable change will flourish at new levels. Many patents will be filed, robotics, flying cars included. Jupiter in Aquarius!
Adventurous Jupiter loves unstable ground, relishes making all the quick clever adjustments! Both Jupiter and Aquarius live for freedom! Since Saturn previewed Aquarius Mar 21 to July 1 2020, he is experienced and can handle the boisterous Jupiter Aquarius frolicking. He already knows there are lucky genius ideas afoot sometimes disguised as if there are no cares in the world! He sees it is that very freedom that makes them possible! He is able to tap the connections, make astute changes quickly, grab them while they are available ~ any moment Jupiter could run off to anywhere! The changes can enhance his business immeasurably! Jupiter’s current sign is where the good fortune is! Be ready to shift certain investments, adjust projects to include new, additional goals, especially those oriented to humanistic and planetary wellbeing. Aquarius will be delighted because as a researcher/thinker he doesn’t always get out to play, and Jupiter plays big. Jupiter even ups the amps on Aquarius’s own far thinking, and that is a rare thing to happen! Isn’t life grand?! Saturn may find himself on safari with Jupiter, or gone on the wind taking the computers to the surf zone when the surf’s up, whichever continent that may be on! Working from ‘home’ takes on new meaning! Really! Can be done!
Jupiter in Aquarius is like lightning! Things will happen quickly. This will be one of those periods when time itself seems speeded up! Jupiter in AQ knows the importance of immediate networking planet wide and how short a year’s window can be. Saturn has already been laying the groundwork. The possible collaboration of this team can have outstanding results much sooner than expected.
Jupiter speeds through Aquarius in record time, enters PISCES May 13 2021! It gives us a very brief preview, retrograded at 2 Pisces June 20! Magic happens! Jupiter travels the world, while Pisces travels the Spirit! Jupiter is a fiery planet so it may take a little getting used to Neptune’s Pisces damp waters. Yet, Jupiter loves speed sports, surfing, sailing, jet skiing, anywhere, the bigger the waves the better! Just be careful of tsunamis and floods! Jupiter philosophizes, tries to be just, to plan the best big future. Pisces talks with God, is psychic to the furthest realms, compassion his ruler. Jupiter may be harshly opinionated and Pisces can be an unable lost addict. Jupiter can be unkind; Pisces can be in denial, beyond caring. The other side of Jupiter is generous, can give hope, teach others to have faith beyond measure. He can help Pisces face the truth, Pisces knows he is lovingly regarded no matter what. Against the odds, recovery can happen. This can be one person in his own struggle or you working your piece for the world. Pisces gives Jupiter a dream, a vision of what can be, how miraculous recovery can be, what enormous strength and courage it takes. Even Jupiter is humbled…and grateful.
As Jupiter in Aquarius is super lucky for Aquarians, it is out of this world in Pisces for Pisceans! Jupiter cheers them up, expands their already magical dimensions, gives the further faith and awareness, heals their spirits from addictions and fears. Major tours are possible and successful dreams come true! It’s time to push the river a bit while the Gateway is open!
Jupiter returns to Aquarius July 28 until Dec 28 when he re-enters Pisces to stay. The Aquarian and Piscean talents will be commingled! Hopefully groups of crusaders will learn how to work together in current times, accomplish great deeds. Knowledge for all through the internet will keep us immediately informed, focused on task, adjusting priorities quickly! Jupiter traverses only part of one more sign, ARIES! When Pluto enters Aquarius Jupiter will be at 17° Aries in a FIVE planet Aries stellium! That’s what I call a new beginning!
Starting with the sign changes, in 2021 there will be 13 aspects formed in Aquarius and Aquarius’s planet Uranus will be aspected 5 times! The first 4 of those 5 will be challenges, finding the existing weaknesses/blockages, remedying what needs adjusting, getting a flow going. The last one will be a positive aspect, an exciting finale of all those aspects, Feb 17, 2022! 2021 alone will host 16 Aquarian type aspects! Then we wait, let things mingle, brew, progress, until Pluto makes that stupendous sign change into Aquarius Mar 23, 2023! We need Aquarius to be strong, in working order, integrated and grounded among ourselves, in our communities, internationally.
The preparation for Pluto entering Aquarius will take steady and dedicated work, staying focused. Everything about how groups and friendships work, the importance and techniques of research, how change is brought about successfully, are the goals. The foundation needs to be set. It will be explored, tested and trialed by Saturn and Jupiter entering Aquarius.
Pluto in Aquarius will bring a new time. Pluto is Scorpio’s planet and Pluto/Aquarius are not exactly ‘compatible.’ Pluto has a ton of charisma, yet is as much private as Aquarius can’t help but bring attention by his simple presence. AQ is exotic, super intelligent, often revels in neon colors, odd/unique looks and attire, has electric static. He can get attention for being THE archetypal loner, or the brilliant head of a world humanitarian organization. Pluto is going to have some adjusting to do. He may be concerned for loss of privacy, be a bit jealous too. At the very worst, there could be power struggles for world rule, including genocide. Or they will do fundraising like never seen before! Pluto may gather the world’s top wealthy humanitarians and make governments of countries look small in comparison. Since these groups will have no governmental constraints, they may bring the world together when governments couldn’t. By comparison, the financially unsupported United Nations may become passé. Comprehensive large scale inventor/researcher work could do very well to sustain and amplify their efforts. See more
Pluto will be in Aquarius 21 years, until January 2044! All the upcoming Aquarian flavored aspects will give us a head start. We’ll do Pluto in Aquarius better! Pluto was last in Aquarius 248 years ago,1777 to 1799, a 22 year period of worldwide uproar and change – American revolution, the French revolution, the Industrial revolution in England. And it won’t be any different this time! Guarantee! So get your friends and alliances/networks in working order, stand up, get used to acting progressively, and be ready to roll! Some will mightily resist; others will persist with new ideas. Change will beget change. Take a peek at what Patrick Watson has to say on Pluto per sign historically. Check out what Lynn Hayes has to say about what Dylan Love has to say on transhumanism.
Since that last 248 years ago we now have bombs, climate change, electronic communication, robotics, and a helluva a lot more people on the planet. Water and weather wars are possible. Actually, water wars are already starting – Detroit, Standing Rock. We need to reassess our mandates for leadership – age and both physical and mental health. There are going to be some bumps. Some say, after the kinks are worked out, there will be a ‘Golden Age!’ Make it so.
Young people born around 2003 will be about 20 at that time and from 20 until they are 41, will live this period. Their lives will be about this world changing time. Help them now. Prepare them to be strong and steady leaders then. Strengthen everything Aquarius in your life.
2021 Jupiter and Saturn activate Chiron and Uranus.
Jupiter initiated connections with Chiron and Uranus. They were just once each, Jan 11 Jupiter in AQ sextile Chiron, Jan 17 square AQ’s planet Uranus. Jupiter is first considering purpose, plans, perspective. Saturn carries these planetary connections to Chiron and Uranus throughout 2021. Feb 9 Saturn in AQ started the sextile Chiron in Aries series, then Feb 17 squared AQ’s planet Uranus in Taurus the first time! Saturn will make these aspects three times each. If Jupiter hit the nail on the head, Saturn will anchor it to build on further. Chiron the healer/teacher in Aries, the Leader, is called on first to guide the way. Then Uranus is challenged. Friendships and alliances will shift due to new needs. It will be a time of weeding the weak, not fully capable or dedicated. At first there may be a seeming standstill as decisions are made, but the situation is brewing just the same. Initially there can be some false starts, mistakes, trial and error needed in this new territory, but things will get sorted out. We’re working with new materials, new energies, new parameters with the virus, new people, and everyone is adjusting.
► The most exciting aspect of 2021 is Jupiter sextile the Galactic Center three times! Earth Day April 22, Aug 20 and Dec 12 – Twelve Twelve! Jupiter will consult with the gods and goddesses of the heavens! The GC is the center of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. Jupiter, the far traveler, has no problem with such a journey, especially while in Aquarius, the very sign of the heavens, stars and flight! Jupiter is associated with Sagittarius, the home of the GC! Perfect combination, and how apropos to the Aquarian emphasis at this time! Jupiter will be our emissary, a generally broad minded planet with a huge perspective, a gift to discover possibilities of the future! The GC will not fail to transmit, infuse, present magnificent infinite consciousness stirring insights and instruction. We have three chances to take it in, grow with it. The Galactic Center is at 27 Sagittarius 09. If you have factors in your chart that match up within 5 degrees of that 27th degree, you will be called. Unlike with fixed stars, only 1 degree usually allowed, the Galactic Center is HUGE! If you are involved with meditation, circles, consciousness raising groups, if ever there was a time to tune in, it is NOW!
Paul O. Hewit writes: “it is probably the second strongest spot in any astrology chart, following the Sun. It is a stunning source of energy, motivation, and aspiration. The Galactic Center is the Sun of our Sun. It is the source of most of the gravitational energy present in our galaxy, and probably the source of most of the energy in any chart, transformed through our own Sun.” [Some say the GC IS the strongest factor in our charts!] It moves only a degree every 72 years, so you can easily get the degree it was when you were born. Have your astrologer calculate its exact position for you.
The GC, Algol and Pluto!
Fixed star ALGOL and the GC are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. Currently Algol is at 26 Taurus and the GC is 27 Sag. Whenever one is activated, so is the other. Algol and the GC have an oblique position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics. They see peripheral factors that influence the outcome. Inconjuncts sometimes lead you on a goose chase, but maybe to greener pastures. You do get a greater perspective. Even if you go back home, you are different. You have perhaps made new friends and associates that can carry that sector for you. Excellent adjustments are in the offing. Destination Algol would not usually be a conscious choice, but sometimes it is part of our Path and it just happens. Square your shoulders and do it, eyes wide open. Fascinating encounter.
Algol is the baddest Star according to some! It is a rare triple star and eclipsing binary, which means it blinks, and changes brightness, even ‘disappears!’ It is the Medusa’s Head, carried in the left hand of the Hero, Perseus. On the dark side, ‘It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens.’ Some say it’s not the ‘bad’ within us but pushing through blockages to the beauty beyond is what really matters. We can face our demons with sincere intent and life changes for the better! See more!
Algol’s bad rep, strikes fear in a lot of hearts, but so does the GC when people find out it is one gigantic black hole!!! You could vanish in an instant! You astral travelers might should be careful? I like to think of Algol as the GC’s Guardian. Algol is considered to be a super powerful feminine force. It would take such an entity to protect the mighty GC! They have an askew, inconjunct relationship, on opposite sides of the chart but off center. It’s the road less followed, so to speak. There is a draw to explore. Algol is ready to stomp her feet and ‘invite’ you to travel, or takes you another place once the GC’s info has been bestowed, a place that needs the information the most.
Many give Algol a wide berth, plan wisely astrologically. Astrologers often allow 5 degrees for the effective range with Algol while most stars get only 1 degree range. If in neighboring signs, only 3 or less degrees might be used. If you have chart factors in that 5 degree range, one way or another you are connected with Algol. If you have questions, do see your astrologer.
Pluto is now at 26° Capricorn and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Anytime it is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol. That period started Feb 2020, virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines are formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20,& June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022, Aug 29, Nov 16.
Pluto has been having the Algol experience, and is one of the few who can stand up under this trial. Very luckily, the trine is the most favorable angle, so though not unscathed, he survives. Both Pluto and Algol are respected and incur life and death situations. One hopes the trine bends the relationship with Algol to a more satisfactory outcome. Earth signs are a bit ‘indelible.’ Their effects are more long lasting. Keep turning the tables on Algol’s bad rep. Stay calm in the face of violence, shift your connections so better can happen. Know your rights and choose safety unless/even if you are trying to save someone’s life. If you are the offender, get all the help you can to change. Many a fine leader has come from a dark place.
Those of you with your Saturn’s from 6 to 25 Aquarius will be having your 28/9 yearSaturn Returns in Cancer’s year!
Lunar patterns! Those of you with factors close to 12 degrees in your charts will be activated by 7 New Moons from Oct 2021 to March 2022. Jan and March 2022 will have two New Moons in Pacific time zone. For Full Moons the 27th degree will be activated 8 times Sep 2021 to April 2022. If you have factors at or 3 degrees of both 12 and 27, all those New and Full Moons will activate you in sequence through the signs! Set a goal and approach it progressively from every angle, every sign!
Any of these outer planet factors may be activating your Sun and/or other factors in your chart. They may be difficult, may be rosy, maybe both! Check with your favorite astrologers for the whole picture! May it go well with you….
Thursday June 24, 3 Capricorn/Cancer 28,11:40 AM Pacific!
Jupiter in Pisces Locomotive chart! Mercury is Direct! Yesterday Saturn sextiled Chiron! Career healing is happening, time to move it!
I can’t help but think of a Strawberry Parfait when I see this image by Wendy Andrew! It is a Birthday Card – tagged Unicorn Mystical Love Daughter Mother Sister Moon. The Green Lady. Queen of the Wildwood and all growing things.
This chart takes a little defining to decide which chart pattern shape it is. No planet stands far enough away, alone or paired, to make a bucket handle. It’s really past a Bowl. The near distance between Mars and Moon is 25° more than a trine, and to me, fits most closely with a Locomotive type chart! With ambitious Moon in Capricorn, and athletic award winning Mars in Leo, an ace performer, market leader, the nature of the chart rolls with it. Sun in Cancer is an astute community minded person, excellent business person, makes money with stocks and still makes a home for the kids!
Locomotives are known for keeping up the steam, pedaling right on down the road, gets things done! You can either jump aboard or be left behind to cheer them on their way. You can wish them well, cheer them again on their accomplishments upon their return! They aren’t afraid to try new ventures, especially with fiery fearless Mars at the fore showing the way!
►Gemini and Cancer are the first signs that happen wholly while Jupiter is in Pisces this year! Later, Aquarius, Pisces and Aries will also be wholly while Jupiter is in Pisces. Other signs will be partially while Jupiter is in Pisces, and some not at all. Jupiter, moving slowly to Retrograde, will be in only 0, 1 and 2 degrees during Gemini, so few will be directly affected by Sun sign directly, but it will be potent if they are. At 1 and 2 degrees, Jupiter will be in a 1 degree station May 26 to July 16, 51 days! Those of you with factors at those degrees will be engaged for that period of time.
Jupiter retrograded June 20, Summer Solstice. He is now steeping in that Pisces station. Since he is standing still, not a usual Jupiter characteristic, he notices every twitch of what happens around him. Usually he is the one in motion. Now he notices the directions others are coming and going. It gives a different perspective. He’s not the holy leader nor the follower. This is what they do without him… He may find he has been working too hard, they are doing well. He may find direction for himself while seeing them make choices that are different but work. Counsels of leaders, elders may now hold more appeal, the ideas of powerful others adept at different things with different resources to work with. Hmm…
Sun in Cancer is in harmony with fellow water sign Pisces! They read each other’s minds. Each cares tremendously. Cancer nurtures us while Pisces saves the world! Cancer gives us shelter, a home, community. Pisces makes a place for our Soul. Could be a hostel along the way on your pilgrimage, could be the temple, the ashram you stay at until your Spirit is healed. Both are superb artists. Cancer may use water colors, pastoral renditions superb photography. Pisces makes music that makes you breathless, from an enchanting lullaby, the blues, to a symphony, to sweaty give it all it takes unforgettable rock and roll heroes! Together, united in cause, Cancer and Pisces can change the world. Cancer wants to help children and women, help us sort our emotions. Pisces has empathy beyond our knowing and will help. Those fundraiser tickets to the concert can add up!
Sun was just trine Jupiter! A bit conservative, he still may not have easily trusted loose and wooly Jupiter, the rolling stone, that has big stories of faraway places, different cultures. In Pisces, Jupiter’s imagination is infinite! Sun may have been scared his kids might follow Jupiter, pied piper Kokopelli away, or Jupiter may change them with his visions and possibilities. Likely there will be a change in their relationships. Sun is going to have to step up, be quick with his counterpoints, perhaps be willing to let his kids take some chances. A strong defense may be required, or strong support with their ventures so they can see for themselves. He himself may be inspired in spite of himself, and may adjust up to higher more worldly standards, as the Pisces dreams call him. He might leave home! It’s a vivid time!
Mother Moon in Capricorn was sextile Jupiter, willing to do business. She also can be conservative. Moon may be the breadwinner and good at it. Moon intuitively sees the Pisces dream, can capture it and work it. Jupiter can seem to be a pest upsetting routines, but also has ideas for growth and to be more inclusive with possibilities. If anyone can incorporate them and improve the business, she can! She knows priorities, how to conserve resources, hire the right people and do it in a timely fashion. Some astonishing changes may be made quickly and productively soonest! Hats off! In person she may be a bit cool at first, but give it some time. Worth the wait.
Moon is the support planet in this Locomotive chart. She pushes, threatens, demands, kisses the bruises, works hard, remembers, is admired. She makes sure everyone is doing their part and takes care of you if you are lagging. If you need a job, she will help. If you miss your Father, or need to find your family, she will help.
Mars, the leader of the chart, is charging along, daring some of the elders to get going again! First he faces off old Saturn, the Capricorn planet used to being in charge. That might make Moon a bit upset, but she knows Saturn will secretly be pleased Mars thinks he can still do it! She will be glad for Mars’ confidence! Saturn will reset his priorities and get a second wind. Second, Mars will jump start Uranus in Taurus. Mars thinks Taurus is good and steady, but maybe Uranus is languishing in this comfortable sign, or so it seems, and Mars wants an accounting post haste! Uranus often goes unquestioned because he is so genius people don’t know how to talk with him, but not no nonsense Mars! Mars is feeling his oats in Leo the sign of Kings! He has a right to know, LOL! Maybe Uranus needs this to keep his purposes fresh, to know he is needed and no one else can do it but him!
Making a favorable fire trine now through July 1, Mars will be assisted by his leader Chiron in Aries, Mars’s own sign! Spunk and Spirit, they are sizzling! Chiron delivers new healing methods on the fly, and Mars is putting them to work in his athletic ventures just as soon as he can! He’s so excited! Sports medicine and first responders are taking a leap! In Leo he is a natural born leader, teacher, lion tamer! Teaching that is taught on prem, experiential, personal is heart filling. The smile is bright and health is vibrant. Just BE yourself! You are your first lion! Learn your limits, talents, and what keeps your lights bright! BE what you want to teach most of all.
Mercury is now Direct, going forward, strong in station until June 26. He’s at 16 Gemini, in his own first sign! He is focused, absorbing, anchoring things he has learned in the retrograde. There are special words, names, touch, connections, ways of breathing that release our mind from old patterns, literally change our lives. The old ‘It’s not what you say, but how you say it,’ takes on new meaning. Are you telling, listening, seeing both sides like the Gemini twins?
To great advantage, Venus has just had an in depth consultation with therapist Pluto. She got some financial advice. Some of the ideas were like an invitation to expand into new territory. Pluto is in Capricorn, Saturn’s sign. This is an intrepid combination. It can be the best and the worst, from wealth to bankruptcy and back again. It can be death, disasters and cleansing, healing, rebirth, remodeling. Businesses are changing, new better working systems being established. New businesses are being born. Relationships are going through trials by fire, some have died, new ways of relating are being trialed by steadfast individuals. Pluto delves into the underpinnings of our society, knows many a secret. Some are being healed at tremendous rates, exalted by epiphanies. He and Capricorn are uncanny at renovations. Sometimes the core stands the test of time.
Personally, other doors may have been missed and closed to Venus, not necessarily losses, but saved from an ordeal or an unsavory long term matter, possibly an embarrassment. Be careful with this one. Give it time, or just let go now. Get credit and background checks. Enchantment doesn’t pay the bills. Stay safe – physically, emotionally, and with your health.
Saturn squared Uranus, the Aquarian planet, in Taurus again June 14! It showed us how blockages can be overcome. Squares challenge us to see the kinks, take them apart, rebuild, upgrade, update, break through! Saturn may be old, but he’s still wise. He sees that change is inevitable, gets humble, converts to opportunities, and is good at it! Uranus is the planet of evolution, not always a good thing on an immediate basis, but in time sorts itself out and through invention and research often finds better ways we become grateful for. It generally takes some time. Sweeping change is often started with chaos and discomfort, takes extra effort to initiate. This is our chance to step up for things that will introduce new possibilities. Uranus in Taurus is working for stable global union. Taurus is Earth herself, her lands, indigenous peoples that inhabit them, the Standing Tree People, Stone People, the Four Leggeds, all. Uranus is working for planetary freedom for all beings. Networking is key and Uranus rules electronics, computers, cells, social media as well as planes. All are important means to connect valuably with each other. Friendships open gateways.
June 23, the day before our Full Moon, we have been standing at the gateway of Saturn sextiling Chiron in Aries! Now that the blocks have been cleared, Saturn and Chiron are showing us how to heal quickly, use new ideas to advantage! There will be health improvements, new teaching techniques! Saturn will shrewdly incorporate them into business and daily life. He instinctively knows the priorities and who can do the job best! You will be blessed if you are called to duty! The Full Moon is opening her arms to receive these wonderful gifts! This is a daytime Full Moon. Stand with your own arms open wide. Take it in…
Fixed Star Fomalhaut is 3 Pisces 52, a reddish star, the largest star in constellation Piscis Austrinus, the Southern Fish. Full Moon Sun trines it and Moon sextiles. Jupiter has been close, retrogrades back into Aquarius, won’t make the conjunction until Jan 17, 2022. All three of these aspects are considered to be favorable! In Persia it was considered to be a Royal Star, one of the “four Guardians of Heaven”, sentinels watching over other stars. This is one of the four key stars in the heavens, also called archangel stars. Gabriel (Fomalhaut) is watcher of the South, marked winter solstice.
Elsbeth Ebertin says ‘It has a Mercury-Venus character with a blending of Neptune influence. According to tradition, this star is of quite variable effect, either very good or very bad, depending on the overall cosmic structure. It is assumed, however, that the helpful influence is the greater one and if in conjunction with Mercury, it is said to stimulate mental capabilities and promise success as a writer or scientist. On the Ascendant and in good aspect, tradition has it that this star will make for ‘fame’ and a name ‘remembered forever’. In conjunction with Venus, there will be advantages in artistic pursuits. A conjunction with Jupiter or on the MC will bring favor from dignitaries of the church. Tied up with either Sun or Moon, the influence of Fomalhaut is said to be quite marked.’
Sharing is Caring! Blessed be!

Dreamer’s New Moon trine Pisces planet Neptune plus Jupiter magnificently in Pisces! Spirit is with You! Pluto opposite weeds the debris, leaves what is futile behind, builds for the future. Bowl Chart harvests the keepers!
Enjoy the delightful magical fantasy art by American-Moldovan-Soviet painter Victor Nizovtsev!
On a fine New Moon night, things are blended, no Moonlight or shadows. There is a certain equality as the playing field is equalized. It seems more quiet, even subdued, without the contrasts. Sleep can be deeper.
This is especially true with the New Moon trine Neptune in Pisces, the planet and sign of the Dreamtime. Cancer’s memories can be of long ago, childhood, times with grandparents, primordial stories of legends of the ancestors of the early world. Cancer has intuitive visions based on the seeds currently planted. She is the scholar who wants the best the world has to offer, for her and her children to grow with it! There is an awareness of universal cycles, patterns, rhythms. There is a longing for closeness, a comfort that makes us know we are spiritually home… With Neptune she feels every nuance and knows its meaning.
The New Moon chart is a Bowl, a natural Cancer shape to serve food in, but there are planets in each sign with no additional factors in Cancer. Yet though all different, they are a gathering, just more eclectic, an abundance of types of enriching contributions. The facets, options and capabilities are many.
This and Leo’s New Moons are special because in this one Mother Moon is in her own sign emphasizing Cancerian unconditional LOVE. August 8th’s New Moon the Sun is in his own sign LEO, emphasizing appropriate Self Love, Heart LOVE. In general, Cancer absorbs and expresses feelings according to her family traditions while Leo expresses his own independent feelings.
►Gemini and Cancer are the first signs that happen wholly while Jupiter is in Pisces this year!Later, Aquarius, Pisces and Aries will also be wholly while Jupiter is in Pisces. Other signs will be partially while Jupiter is in Pisces, and some not at all. Jupiter, moving slowly to Retrograde, will be in only 0, 1 and 2 degrees during Gemini, so few will be directly affected by Sun sign directly, but it will be potent if they are. At 1 and 2 degrees, Jupiter will be in a 1 degree station May 26 to July 16, 51 days! Those of you with factors at those degrees will be engaged for that period of time.
Jupiter is still in that retrograde station for 7 more days. Though not closely connected with any of the planets, Mercury will soon move from Gemini to Cancer and on Monday the 12th trine Jupiter, big news! Mercury will bring a flurry of ideas, that Cancer will intuitively sort into categories. They will be presented to Jupiter who will laugh to be alive and playfully, or super seriously, depending on his Pisces mood, and will share them with the fine seahorses along the waves of the shores! The weak will fall away, the others will show magical potential. Jupiter will share his visions and many will be inspired!
Jupiter is now in new territory, not been in Pisces since 11/12 years ago! Same sign, but the other planets have moved and times have changed, a lot! New priorities. He loves to travel, transmit and teach, wake us to the greater possibilities! As such, new territory is nothing new to him, he opens those big eyes wide, takes it in, adapts on his feet in a moment and dances as if he was born to it, which he is! Good chance he can speak the language in record time! Pisces is the ultimate adventurer! Pisces shows him the dreamtime right here on Earth! Pisces can take him to different dimensions any time of day anywhere! There can be overload since beingness is whole and permeating every part of your being. It can be confusing, moments of feeling lost because you really have never been here before! There IS NO MAP. It’s an ultimate freedom and you never will go back to exactly what you were before. There will be moments of enchantment, like following the Pied Piper, and crazy longings to go home again, not common for Jupiter. And then you will be at the next part of the adventure and forget where you were before, wanting to continue forever!
Saturn has been harnessing the exotic futurist inventive genius Uranian/Aquarian energy for the important work of these times, and especially is preparing us all to use it wisely, as well as preparing us for Pluto’s sign change into Aquarius March 23, 2023! See more Freedom to think is essential to create the new possibilities in a timely fashion. To have friends, collaborate, gather our tribe, work in synchrony, network globally is all part of the growth of our collective consciousness. Philanthropy will take on new meaning.
Saturn is retrograding away from his square with Uranus in Taurus (Earth). Necessary changes have been made, boundaries opened, records broken, some restored. Uranian ideas for the planet and sensible uses of funds globally have been put to use, are in trial. Social networks and friends have been called to stand up for the long term. Differences have been both disrespected, demands made, and others have called for collaboration and efficient mergers that open further options. Generations, elders, are looking to find ways to move forward together. Some want a good blend of government and freedom. It’s going to take some time. See Saturn Aquarius retrograde square Uranus in Taurus. See the amazing Foothills Forever Crosses the Finish Line and Finalizes Escrow
Saturn in Aquarius is leaving the sextile of Chiron in Aries, Chiron is another business planet, also great for relationship selections, a shaman and teacher! Chiron, fiery in Aries is sparking ideas right and left. New healing modes have been inaugurated, are now standing the tests of time. Innovative techniques have been started to be used. Teaching our healers and they teaching us are new talents being developed so the most people can be healed or trouble prevented. There have been so many long plans and purposes in the past, it’s refreshing to discover new components. With Saturn’s community wide connections, it is time to broaden the range of investments.
The Square and the Sextile have been traveling together. In the fall they will form the third and last times, but separately, Nov 26 and Dec 23.
The New Moon pair will soon be opposite Pluto in Capricorn! This is a major combination. Moon and Sun together may be a match for that Ninja! Moon has just been charged by Sun, and will go first on the next day, the 10th. She, always wanting to nurture, and being in her own sign, the Mother, may take his appraisal, and give him her unasked for opinions. Pluto has his mask well in place. He knew she was coming. Few Mothers on a mission will be fooled, but you never know. There could be a double play at work, LOL! They could just both act as equals and do business. He’s astute at deals; she’s unparalleled at trends.
Sun goes next on Saturday the 17th. He has undoubtedly chatted with Moon and will take it from there. Sun has ego, so if Pluto insults him by silence, a scornful glance, or verbal insult, there could be consequences that are not so fun. There could be cheating, a deal may be lost, one could lose their life, revenge to follow. If you anticipate trouble, be ready to leave before anything unforgivable takes place. Take a peacemaker with you, no meeting in private, be documented. If things go well, you could negotiate a merger that gives lifetime rewards. An important personal relationship may form.
Pluto has even more potency because he is the base planet of the Bowl. He’s the one pushing the planets forward, keeping things moving. Capricorn is a cardinal action sign, the Builder. Pluto, Scorpio’s planet, and Cap love renovating and selling for profit! Pluto is an awesome shaman healer, delves deep into our psyche, cleans us to the marrow. He still sextiles Neptune, the sacred spiritualist. They have mused over many a dilemma for many years and are now resolving some matters after abysses, whirlwinds of dissention, many deaths and remarkable healings. Neptune is in his own sign Pisces, a 168 year placement, at the peak of his power. His insights are invaluable. Many long awaited dreams are becoming miracles in the flesh.
Pluto started being the base planet of the outer planets when Jupiter passed him in 2020. Jupiter will become the base planet in 2029. So, Pluto holds the base position 8+ years, including during its own sign change from Capricorn to Aquarius. He has earned respect by operating successfully during troubled times. Sometimes he has been instigator, propelling us to and through even dangerous situations. Other times he has held wise council and solved monumental matters, or at least started the process.
Many 2021 factors have an Aquarian component. We are preparing for Pluto’s entry into Aquarius in 2023. We are more aware now that some connections need reworking, fixing. Some ideas have long term implications worth working for and are financially productive! Make notes then network like crazy to get more ideas to complete the package, select who will work together, and get it rolling! See Saturn in Aquarius Saturn is open to new areas of responsibility. Chiron is livening him with the latest healing and teaching ideas!
Mars is important because he is the Bowl’s leading planet closely followed by Venus! In Leo they make a colorful pair, perhaps romantic, will conjunct Wednesday the 13th! They are traveling concurrently with Mercury trine Jupiter, big news! Good news and the house wins the race! Venus is flirting with Mars all the way and he back over his shoulder daring her to catch him, LOL! They must both remember that flirting is flirting. They may be tempted, but to be on the safe side, wait and see. It may be the fastest flash past you ever saw! Venus is faster, and of all the amazing things, leaves Mars behind, and Mars ain’t slow! Venus in Leo is Daddy’s girl and is often underestimated!
Plus, Venus just recently trined Chiron. She knows good bold leadership when she sees it. Chiron in Aries may heal you even if you don’t ask and didn’t think you were ready for it, don’t even want it! Chiron just laughs and says get it up, no time to dally! Ok. That’s a legitimate choice at times. No gentle courtship there either. But maybe that’s just what she needs to consider further, more robust relationships in her life or just being her stand up self! She may have been attracted to him, but thought he was a little too old for here. Anyway, here she is.
So at the time of the New Moon Mars is the Mister! He has prowess that many admire, and he’s a first responder type, quick in his senses, saves lives, a hero. He teaches, carries himself proudly, is warm hearted, maybe a little full of himself, but he’s there for you. He’s generous and stands up for your rights. He can be a great lover or just too darn quick, then loses interest. He’s certainly stylish and entertaining! Truly a leader.
Then, just like that, as of the 12th, Mother Moon passes them both! Venus never takes the lead. Rather than the young woman, Matron Moon takes the lead. She mothers them both and goes on about her own business.
Pluto Trine Fixed Star Algol 26 Taurus 27 in 2020 – 2024
Pluto is of Scorpio, the sign opposite Algol’s sign Taurus, but Pluto now in Capricorn gentles that opposition because Pluto Capricorn trines, favors Algol. Pluto rules death and rebirth while Algol is considered to bear misfortune, often death. They understand each other. Neither is to be messed with. Capricorn is noted for facing reality squarely.
Algol is the baddest Star according to some! It is a rare triple star and eclipsing binary, which means it blinks, and changes brightness, even ‘disappears!’ It is the Medusa’s Head, carried in the left hand of the Hero, Perseus. On the dark side, ‘It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens.’ Some say it’s not the ‘bad’ within us but pushing through blockages to the beauty beyond is what really matters. We can face our demons with sincere intent and life changes for the better! See more!
Many give Algol a wide berth, plan wisely astrologically. Astrologers often allow 5 degrees for the effective range with Algol while most stars get only 1 degree range. If you have chart factors in that 5 degree range, one way or another you are connected with Algol. If you have questions, do see your astrologer.
Pluto is now at 26° Capricorn and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Allowing a 3 degree range, anytime Pluto is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol at 26 Taurus 27. That period started Feb 2020 – virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines are formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20, & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022, Aug 29, Nov 16.
One hopes the trine, a good aspect, bends the relationship with Algol to a more satisfactory outcome. Earth signs are a bit ‘indelible.’ Their effects are more long lasting. Keep turning the tables on Algol’s bad rep. Recent violence, covid deaths, may leave raw feelings of grief, bitterness, betrayal. Freedom is still at issue. Stay calm in the face of violence, shift your connections so better can happen, turn a page, try out some new possibilities. Know your rights and choose safety unless/even if you are trying to save someone’s life. If you are the offender, get all the help you can to change. Many a fine leader has come from a dark place.
Pluto understands much of this. Capricorn often has working answers to bring us back together in common cause. Be safe and be well. Tread gently. Get all the facts before you pass judgment. Steady in the Light.
Algol’s connection with the Galactic Center!
Algol and the GC are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. Currently Algol is at 26 Taurus and the GC is 27 Sag. Whenever one is activated, they both are. Algol and the GC have an oblique position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics. They see peripheral factors that influence the outcome. Inconjuncts sometimes lead you on a goose chase, but maybe to greener pastures. You do get a greater perspective. Even if you go back home, you are different. You have perhaps made new friends and associates that can carry that sector for you, or be a link to that sector when you need it. Excellent adjustments are in the offing. Destination Algol would not usually be a conscious choice, but sometimes it is part of our Path and it just happens. Square your shoulders and do it, eyes wide open. Fascinating encounter.
Oh, yes, Algol strikes fear in a lot of hearts, but so does the GC when people find out it is one gigantic black hole!!! You could vanish in an instant! You astral travelers might should be careful? I like to think of Algol as the GC’s Guardian. Algol is considered to be a super powerful feminine force. It would take such an entity to protect the mighty GC!Algol is ready to stomp her feet and ‘invite’ you to travel, or takes you another place once the GC’s info has been bestowed, a place that needs the information the most.
Blessings on your heart and home! Thanks for your loving care always.

Please, always remember these planetary combinations are what’s happening in the world. Check with your astrologer to see how they do, or don’t, activate your personal chart! May it go very well with you….
Thank you for making a difference! Sharing is caring! Let's get the word out!
All three of the 2021 Mercury Retrogrades are in Air signs, Aquarius, now Gemini, last Libra! Gemini is the 1st of the air signs. Mercury in Gemini is receiving, channeling, has scanned and translated, transmitting energy of mind to all. Gemini is a snappy multi mix brew that stirs all your synapses! It aerates your airways and your mind is brimming with the possibilities!
Mercury is the planet of the Mind, thinking, our attention, our breath and lungs, how we learn to learn, communication skills, gathering data, paperwork, signing contracts, a hand shake, the laying on of hands. All of these are essential.
Mercury is heady, there is little that isn’t interesting and little escapes its attention. Earthy Virgo is Mercury’s other sign that focuses on details, looks for perfection, expertly organizes and applies the data Gemini secures, is semi grounded! Both are known to be ultra busy! Gemini listens fast, replies almost instantly. Virgo writes the book, organizes the finances, won’t go home, just has one more detail to finesse, worries about her and your health. Quite different, you see.
Mercury in Gemini is the most classic of Mercury retrograde signs, the one that says Don’t buy or sign during retrograde, do get the guarantee. Don’t buy a new vehicle, move or get a new job. And for heaven’s sake, don’t get married! You know, all the basics. This is going to be tough for some June weddings this year…
Mercury Rx is don’t sign those papers about issues of the sign(s) Mercury is retrograde in! Or, do everything to make it possible so it doesn’t fall through. Escrows can fall through. Use experienced brokers who can get it done no matter what. People don’t return your calls. The dog ate it. Your computer has a snit. Or you do, LOL! You lose your cell. You get lost, turned around. Rule is be sure purchases are from reputable firms that have reliable returns and guarantees/warranties. Be sure the company is legitimate before you deal. Date and sign any contract changes and make sure they do too. Get/make copies, save and backup. Generally, you avoid making significant purchases/decisions especially of matters specific to the sign/s involved. If possible, don’t move or change or start jobs until you wait 4 days after Mercury turns Direct/forward.
The house/s where Mercury falls in your chart while it is retrograde is the area of your life that will be specially affected. If it is in your 4th, it is home and family matters. If in your 2nd or 8th, financial adjustments will be made. 6th can be work environment, skills, coworkers, your health regime. 5/7/8 can be important relationships. 3/9 is educational, class requirements may shift. 9 is long term plans, travels. 10 may be career, 11 career associations/associates. 12 may be your spiritual beliefs, perceptions. So for example, if in your 10th, be cautious about signing professional documents. If in your 4th, you may opt to wait to buy the new refrigerator – a better deal or fridge may come along. In the 1st or 3rd you might wait to purchase a new vehicle. In 2 or 7, wait for the facelift. If you need help with this, see your astrologer!
ABOUT RETROGRADES!
Inner planet retrogrades have three phase cycles. Sometimes outer planets have five and take 3 years! Sun and Moon have none. The 3 parts are:
Covering the initial ground, degrees that the retrograde will go back over when the planet ‘turns’ retrograde.
Retrograde covers the same degrees as 1, only in the reverse direction, so your perspective takes a 180 shift while other planets continue in their own patterns, many of them moving forward. While retrograde it checks on previous actions, improving on choices made as it goes back.
The planet turns ‘forward,’ and goes over the same degrees a third time, making experienced final adjustments before it moves on.
Stations bring special emphasis! A Station is when a planet literally appears to stand still in the sky at the retrograde and direct turning points. Stations help us slow down. They are a pause when we are able to be still to receive, focus, take time to think, anchor important ideas we want to keep. The longer the station the more its strength. Mercury sometimes like to think things over, draw as much from a valuable experience as possible, or get to know a special person more deeply. More often, it is likely to go crazy waiting for more things to happen and wants to be the first to deliver the news! If they need a rest, a lot has been changing, it can be a relief to take a breather from the rigors of speeding here and there so they don’t miss a morsel!
Planets at different speeds hold station different lengths of time. Mercury stations are about 8 days – four days before and four days after the turns. This retrograde Mercury covers 16 Gemini 07 to 24 Gemini 43. Prepare for retrogrades as best you can before the Retrograde Station starts! Though Mercury has turned forward, wait for the Direct Station to finish before turning yourself loose to go ahead.
It happens that the 16° Retrograde Station is less than a degree of the fixed star Rigel of Orion fame. Per Robson, astrologer Alvidas likens Rigel to Mercury Mars and Jupiter. It gives benevolence, honor, riches, happiness, glory, renown and inventive or mechanical ability. Robson says with Mercury Rigel is scientific, prominent position in connection with Mercurial matters or in science.
Jamie at Astrology King quotes that with Rigel/Mercury ‘it does create a person who is very high-strung. It is not serious, nor is it necessarily of long duration. The entire nervous system is stimulated, causing a very rapid and even-flowing energy throughout the nervous system and mental thought patterns. These are persons who can sell anything to anyone. They usually speak rapidly; are very bright, and people enjoy listening to them. They are thus able to be persuasive in any area they wish to apply their communicative ability.’
If you have factors in positive connection with 15, 16, 17 degrees, I’ll bet your office memos, ad copy, blogs, the part you write in your book at that time, have extra zing and make people laugh and think. Answer your phone and take their order/cash! Give that talk and schedule the next/followup!
Mercury’s Rx in Gemini, recalibrates our thinking skills. How we think, what we choose to think about. We may set priorities about who we relay our information to and when. Perhaps we decide to listen more, talk less or vice versa. You may wish to learn more in depth about topics that have become more important to you. Study a new language or get better at one you like. Teach some young people about study skills. Maybe it’s time to take a break, go on retreat, take silence. It’s all good. There are many ways to exercise your mind.
There are TWOimportant outer planet eventsduring Mercury retrograde, the entire cycle is during Jupiter’s preview in Pisces!
Most important are the major outer planet combinations that happen during a retrograde cycle. The planetary connections made during the retrograde cycle, especially the ones that repeat, indicate part of its purpose, how the retrograde can help. Those combinations, along with the retrograde, help prepare us for planetary aspects that follow, whether the aspects are in the sky or in your personal chart. And, of course, the connections they make, or don’t, with your chart, factor in personally! See your astrologer if you need help with this!
In this case not only is Mercury Rx, but so are the planetary events. Saturn is making his second set with Uranus and Chiron. June 14 is first with Saturn Rx in Aquariussquare Uranus in Taurus!
Saturn in Aquarius is significant because Aquarius has to do with higher mind. Saturn wants to harness that power, work with it in behalf of humanity. They may be in the business of research, climate, human rights. This all doubles in potency because Uranus is the Aquarian planet! Taurus is the sign of Earth, our values, basic possessions like our bodies! Taurus is our personal income, the part we keep. Ruled by Venus, Taurus has to do with beauty, our sense of love and attraction. These topics will come up during Mercury retrograde. They are important, vital at these times on our planet. Where we choose to live – water and weather. Who we live with, work with, to what purpose. See more
June 23 is second, Saturn Rx in Aquarius sextiles Chiron in Aries! This is a combination of two old Masters and two rowdy signs! Aquarius is the ChangeMaker, inventor, freedom seeker genius! Chiron was the serious old wounded, healer, teacher – shaman/medicine man. In Aries he is updating his portfolio! And our times, with the virus, have called for it on an immediate basis. There are contradictions, experimentation, adamant differences of opinions. Mercury retrograde may rediscover some overlooked information from time before. He may sort data by a different method and discover new results. New information may come to light. Gemini is noted to be neutral, is mainly curious. Religious, political position, sexuality or money making may not stop him from seeking data. Because of his unbiased sweeping of the territory, it is possible for him to look where no one has before…maybe he discovers some diamonds in the rough! See more
Jupiter in Pisces is brief sneak preview from May 13 to July 28, then Jupiter returns to Aquarius to finish up! Jupiter rules Sagittarius, the arrow arcing over the rainbow, and Pisces is the huge Ocean of civilization! They both can have a broad range of attention. Sagittarius travels and teaches at Universities. Pisces borders the shores, has major international ports of exchange, ships sail the seas linking huge distances. They both have to do with ‘God,’ Sag at church, Pisces in the direct link of meditation. Jupiter is fiery, bold, at times brazen and opinionated, while Pisces will set up a rousing concert, from rock star to symphony making music that moves your Soul! Pisces can be a resounding believer, willing to sacrifice. Jupiter and Pisces are a bit at odds at times, could be as simple as Jupiter talking too loudly when Pisces is wanting quiet time to meditate. But Jupiter has an uncanny knack to tell a joke that makes Pisces laugh after all when Pisces goes too somber for too long. Jupiter sees and wants the best! He will support Pisces to the pinnacles of spiritual power, teach religious studies, improve the Pisces seaside sports business! Whatever it takes. They can go surfing, maybe at Nosara in Costa Rica, famous for yoga and year-round surf! This Piscean adventure with larger than life characters will give Mercury plenty to think about! Take lots of images, plenty of video, get the blog going, inspiration abounds! Mercury is ace at sales and advertising. See more
Mercury himself squares Neptune, the Pisces planet, in Pisces, three times during his retrograde! They are highlighted in the Timeline below. Mercury and Gemini are easily distracted, and so is Pisces, at the slightest nuance of a shift in the valence. If you get to talking you may miss your appointment or get to work late. Depending on what’s happening, it could be the best if it is a discovery. If you are surfing or driving maybe you discover a new road or place or people. If there is a rut in the road you may be stranded or need repairs. Maybe you are confused, lonely, lost. You could be tempted by an addiction that costs you, or deal with one and have a break through, get clean. Stay in good company, be able to reach your sponsor if you need to. This could be one of those very classic don’t sign those papers times. If in doubt, wait, though sometimes the ‘mistake’ is the best thing that ever happened to you/sometimes the mistake is not signing! Do your best, go by your instinct. Allow 3 days before and 1 day after for these cautionary periods.

Retrogrades are fascinatingly complex! The wild dynamics of retrograde cycles are, as viewed from Earth, that a planet appears to go forward, backward, then forward over the same ground three times, and if outer planets sometime five, times! Of course that doesn’t happen in reality. It is visual because of the perspective from Earth. During that time, all the other planets are moving too, so even when a retrograde planet is going ‘backward’ over the same area, they are ALL going forward, even the retrograde planet! It’s ‘illogical,’ but that’s what happens. Venus retrogrades about every 19 months for only about 40 days. Only 7–8% of the population hasit in their natal chart.Mercury retrogrades 3 times a year, once every 6 years it’s 4 times that year. Mercury actually spends little time retrograde. In fact, only 18% of the population is born during Mercury retrograde! Mars retrogrades every 25/26 months for 60-80 days.
The good part is that where people or businesses have retrograde planets, in their birth charts, they often have special skills. The most successful Corporations often have a lot of retrograde planets – they keep working it until they are best, and they keep working it as time goes on, so they stay the best! They go back, keep up, update! The type of special communication skills of Mercury retrograde depend on which sign, house and planets Mercury connects with in your chart and what type of connections are made. Check out the planets of your own chart and charts of babies born during retrogrades!
Every Retrograde is unique by sign and where it happens in your chart! As time goes on the planetary backdrop changes. Context shifts. Retrogrades, like any other astro phenomena, evolve. Each planet has its own matters. The sign(s) it is in while in retrograde, are how those matters are applied, what matters are processed.
What a journey! If you are traveling, what amazing beauty lies around each new bend. Different directions, different views. Maybe what’s behind is out of sight, a memory; what’s ahead is a mystery! Inward turns, like retrograde, give us time to pause, hold steady, slow down. Outward bends like turning forward/Direct, extend our vision of potentials. Mercury in air lets us think about alliances, working together. It shows us natural flow, keeps our Spirit fluid, makes us aware of deeper channels within us. Each turn, that Station, gives us time to think, recalibrate, prepare for the next stretch. It’s important that there are changes, reversals, old ideas that clogged things up are left behind, revelations have room to occur, new ideas are teased into action! Potential is remembered and we are rededicated.
Clearly life doesn’t stop during retrogrades, and not all people’s charts are connected to all retrogrades. If your chart is connected to any given one, you will need to do your best and what you can. You can’t explain this to all people, maybe not your boss or even a good friend. Astrology? You’re nuts! Ok so there are times to find ways to stall or not connect, delay. You can estimate the possibilities of others not bringing certain papers to the meeting and bring them yourself, save the day! You can ask for a review of the current decisions 4 days or more after Mercury goes Direct/forward. If there are important must do meetings, Dr appts, call in advance to verify that the date and right time are on their calendars AND yours! Verify that a part you ordered IS ordered, being sent to the correct address, the expected arrival date! Know that it might be late.
Document your work and events daily, save ALL emails and backup safely off the premises. No giving your passwords or copies of keys to anyone. If all goes well, fine. If not, all the pertinent information you need is available.
If you have other favorable prevailing aspects, especially with outer planets, it is likely changes will ultimately be to your benefit. Do check with your astrologer for your good dates and times of day to make the best of it!
With a transiting Retrograde, if you have factors in your chart at or very close to those degrees, you will be activated, especially at the station degrees. Check in with your astrologer if you have significant plans at those times. Plan ahead for what you want to get done, as much as possible,well before those times, and line up what you can do during those times!
Speak good words, think good thoughts, do good deeds. Pay it forward.
Please, always remember these planetary combinations are what’s happening in the world. Check with your astrologer to see how they do, or don’t, activate your personal chart! May it go very well with you….
Sagittarius/Gemini Full Flower SuperMoon Total Lunar Eclipse, Buddha’s Birthday!
Wednesday May 26, 5 Sagittarius/Gemini 26,4:14 AM Pacific! Mercury Retrogrades May 29.
Jupiter in Pisces! Buddha’s Birthday! Sagittarius Moon Bucket Chart seeking Worldly Cuisine! Feisty Mars opposite Pluto, Pluto trine Algol!
For those of you in areas able to see the Eclipse, you will see the magnificent Blood SUPERMoon! Lunar Eclipse 21 Jan 2018 by rishigarrod
Wesak, Buddha’s Birthday 2021, will be May 26 in the US, a Total Lunar Eclipse! It will be visible in parts of Western US for 14 Mins! See more
This is the second of 2021’s two Supermoons, May 26’s Full Flower Moon Lunar Eclipse! A Supermoon is a full moon or a new moon that nearly coincides with perigee – the closest that the Moon comes to the Earth in its elliptic orbit – resulting in a slightly larger-than-usual apparent size of the lunar disk as viewed from Earth. The technical name is a perigee syzygy (of the Earth–Moon–Sun system) or a full (or new) Moon around perigee. The best watching time is at moonrise when she looks the biggest!
This is the first Eclipse of four in 2021 and is the first lunar event of five while Jupiter is in its first lap in Pisces!
► Gemini is the first sign that happens wholly while Jupiter is in Pisces, Cancer is next this year! Later, Aquarius, Pisces and Aries will also be wholly while Jupiter is in Pisces. Other signs will be partially while Jupiter is in Pisces, and some not at all. Jupiter, moving slowly to Retrograde, will be in only 0, 1 and 2 degrees during Gemini, so few will be directly affected by Sun sign directly, but it will be potent if they are. At 1 and 2 degrees, Jupiter will be in a 1 degree station May 26 to July 16, 51 days! Those of you with factors at those degrees will be engaged for that period of time.
Factors in Gemini will be challenged, squared. Jupiter will challenge whether what is said is true. Jupiter may be slanderous in this combination, so keep things true and be able to back them up. Jupiter may wish more is said, is more meaningful than gossip. However, embellishing a mild tale to heroism is fair game, LOL, and maybe that IS true actually, more important than realized! Gemini may bring the data, but Jupiter shows its purpose. Gemini may be a bit surprised, even annoyed, when he thinks it’s all much ado over nothing. If he worked hard to get that data and Jupiter thinks it’s nothing, Gemini may be disappointed with not being appreciated. Please do thank your connections for what they bring. If Jupiter claims a false premise or principle, Gemini, who tends to be more neutral, may stand up and speak against the use of his data in such a way. If things go well, Gemini may find himself publicly named as the courageous reporter of a critical piece. There may be some adjusting as his status is changed.
Mother Moon in Sagittarius blooms with glory opposite Father Sun in Gemini. She takes him on a journey further than his usual range. He is happy to go with her, exploring new kinds of living, seeing cultures that open his heart. He records what he can to share with his people. He reaches across the table to touch her with gratitude from his heart. She is a treasure of teaching, shows a perspective of knowledge, has Faith that restores the Soul. She has a lucky quirk and he’s honored to share the ride! He increases her vocabulary, LOL, and she giggles off into the mighty sunset after a fine day! She is a living bouquet of blessings.
The Full Moon chart formation is for the sixth and last time, from Capricorn to now Gemini, a Moon Bucket. The Bowl base group is widely spread, still spanning from base planet Pluto to lead planet Mars.
The lone planet is potent, especially being Mother Moon in adventurous Sagittarius, likely to speak her mind. Oh, yes, there can be awkward moments, but the truth outs for better or worse. See more about Bowl/Bundle Charts! The planet at the bucket ‘handle’ is the channel all goes through to put information forth. With three planets in Gemini, there will be a LOT to say! Sagittarius sees what can be better and all that information Gemini has can be channeled to improvement purposes. Sagittarius loves telling stories and can take them in as fast as she gives! The Moon is an adept collector, instantly assessing the most salient valuable points. She is skilled at noting what values come from the past that no longer apply, and those that need protecting from fad insanity. She is quite able to update to advantage, an astute business woman! She is super with schooling, going after the best for kids and women!
Sagittarius and Gemini are mutable fire and air signs. They can change at the blink of an eye. What was profound a moment ago had been tossed and updated as quickly as what is better is grasped. They can leave you with your head spinning, hopefully delightfully so! Why wait?! Not a moment to be wasted. The planet is moving quickly for a fact!
We do have three planets in Gemini, Sun, Venus and Mercury, but it isn’t considered to be a stellium because Sun and Mercury always travel closely together, up to 28 degrees. But this time, Mercury is in one of his own signs, so we might stretch the definition this time. Sun is in the Mind Sign and chattily so. Gathering information ups the options in many directions for an overall purpose that you see when you stand back a bit. Venus loves the array. She draws it to her, valuing the many prospects. She sorts by value, adds her own touch when needed.
Mercury is past Venus, and made no connection in Taurus either. However, Mercury is slowing to Retrograde at 24 Gemini on May 29! It happens that Venus conjuncts, passes Mercury the day before, 10:13 PM Pacific! It is a powerful conjunction because it happens while Mercury is at the 24th degree for his EIGHT DAY station – from the Lunar Eclipse/Full Moon on the 26th to June 2! Stations absorb, focus, anchor our thoughts. Venus will have quite an impact. She is going for grace, beauty, seeking values and kindness, speaking respectfully and attractively. Sales may soar in spite of the retrograde!
Just be a wee bit careful if you are the buyer. All may not be as you see or wish. Venus is square Neptune midday the 27th at 12:25 PM Pacific. Venus wants and Neptune doesn’t always see clearly. Or you might make the right decision for the wrong reason. You might wait until a day or so afterwards, or entirely if it is a significant purchase. Wait until after Mercury Retrograde has passed, plus four days, until you buy. Be careful about love relationships too. Some promises may not be able to be kept…
Mercury though not retrograde yet, has reached its maximum 24 degree position and is square now and will be square Neptune through June 5+. Misunderstandings are common with this combination. The words were right there on the paper but you didn’t see them. Nobody saw them. Not the best time to sign contracts. See more about Mercury RX. You might wait to have important conversations. Or know that there will be mix ups and check back later to clear things up.
Mercury is the prince of mind travel, synapses, person to person connections. His network thrives beyond the average person’s scope. If you need it, he, the sign of twins, can find it literally on the double! He’s energetic and nimble. Venus will add her intuitive ability to find the most valuable.
Sun is with Moon’s North Node. The South Node is in Sagittarius, considered to be talents of the past. Sagittarius, is a sign of success, long distance vision and planning, traveling, swift escapes! The North Node seeks balance in Gemini. No running away this time, no time to be opinionated or exalted for being the speaker Teacher. This time we find more information, the thinking of the people that is changing, morphing on a daily basis. We listen more then spread the word and let people think for themselves, make up their own minds. In Gemini the North Node is trying to take care of the neighborhood, relationships with siblings, builds a sense of brother/sisterhood, kinship.
Uranus is at the Midpoint of the Chiron sextile Moon’s North Node in Gemini. Chiron in Aries is encouraging the North Node to step up the pace. Healing words are needed now! Chiron can cover for the escapade, I mean escape, LOL, but is especially attracted to what’s happening right here, right now! He may lead the crusade that’s starting right under our noses! Uranus is the futurist and sees how every input is important, how the input of the collective brings growth faster, perhaps saves the day!
Sun is about to Sextile Chiron, Moon trine Chiron in Aries. Gemini and Sag are both quick on the uptake, so Chiron will find them to be right on the spot with him. They will hear, and even if not take it in entirely, he knows they will think on it and discover the possibilities! As Shaman, he offers quick healing remedies, excellent new business ideas, an introduction to someone they like. They in turn bring information from local and outlying areas that makes a difference.
Sun is to trine Master Saturn in Aquarius, while Moon sextiles him. Saturn will soon sextile Chiron again June 23. Saturn is gathering the troops, Sun is gathering information that lights the way, Moon teaches why this is all worthwhile to our community. Gemini is the first air sign, Aquarius is the last. Gemini teaches us how to think quickly on our feet, intermingles with locals. Aquarius is the genius humanitarian who can’t do it without the people no matter how intelligent Aquarians are! There is a meeting of minds so Aquarian concepts can reach the minds of everyone. Sometimes they forget about the daily affairs of other citizens. The Moon throws in nurturing perspectives to all. She requests we let go of fears, think bigger. Saturn will work it out and build a useful structure to support it happening and maintain the results.
Saturn will square Uranus, the Aquarian planet, in Taurus again much sooner, June 14! So the blockages come first. Squares challenge us to see the kinks, take them apart, rebuild, upgrade, update, break through! Saturn may be old, but he’s still wise. He sees that change is inevitable, gets humble, converts to opportunities, and is good at it! Uranus is the planet of evolution, not always a good thing on an immediate basis, but in time sorts itself out and through invention and research often finds better ways we become grateful for. It generally takes some time.
Sweeping change is often started with chaos and discomfort, takes extra effort to initiate. This is our chance to step up for things that will introduce new possibilities. Uranus in Taurus is working for stable global union. Taurus is Earth herself, her lands, indigenous peoples that inhabit them, the Standing Tree People, Stone People, the Four Leggeds, all. Uranus is working for planetary freedom for all beings. Networking is key and Uranus rules electronics, computers, cells, social media as well as planes. All are important means to connect valuably with each other. Friendships open gateways.
Pluto, Scorpio’s planet, in Capricorn is and will be the base planet of the outer planets through 2029, and is the base planet of our Bowl part of the chart!
Pluto is in Capricorn, Saturn’s sign. This is an intrepid combination. It can be the best and the worst, from wealth to bankruptcy and back again. It can be death, disasters and rebirth. Businesses are changing, new better working systems being established. New businesses are being born. Relationships are going through trials by fire, some have died, new ways of relating are being trialed by steadfast individuals. Pluto delves into the underpinnings of our society, knows many a secret. Some are being healed at tremendous rates, epiphanies. He and Capricorn are uncanny at renovations. Sometimes the core stands the test of time.
Mars in Cancer is still standing out in front, trining Man of the Sea, Neptune in Pisces! Mars is of the first Sign Aries, Pisces is the last, and here they are getting along. Cancer and Pisces are the first and last water signs. Mars is more personally nurturing in Cancer. Cancer is conservative and also action oriented like Mars! Mars in Cancer can be a champion rights fighter in behalf of housing needs, for quality food, women’s and children’s rights, proper health care. She is protective of the ways of her people. If Cancer sees a cause and wants to take care of the planet, our home, too, she will be ace at getting women and young people moving. Pluto may be wise to tell her his plans and turn her loose to do the hiring!
Mars is not shy. He wants you to learn – Cancer is a lifelong scholar. Neptune says we aren’t alone here. We are part of both micro and macrocosm. We all have pasts, past lives if you will, hurts and exalted experiences. We can’t always stand up perfectly. Everyone has an addiction since we all have Pisces in our charts…that’s where it is. Mars can be super impatient, demanding and needs to understand and be understood. Mars gets Pisces back on his feet when possible. It’s time to make music again, talk with your Soul. Mars will definitely spiritedly lead the Bowl! He may call on ones who have lead well in the past, rekindle the flame, breathe new life into their work.
Mars is coming into opposition with Pluto, defining the top of the Bowl part of the chart. They are exact midday June 5 at 12:45 PM. Many of you will already be feeling it at the Eclipse. Both are warriors, Mar out in front, Pluto the invisible ninja, another shamanistic healer, money master. Mars is super psychic in Cancer, every action counts. He can have an instant emotional response. Avoid confrontations with volatile people. Pluto can kill you, at the least disable you, if you are harming someone. If you are the person suffering or needing defending, they can save you. One way or the other, it is an intense combination. Mars may need to ruffle Pluto’s feathers to get secretive Pluto to take public action. Pluto in Cap can be quite reluctant and like his private nest. Be careful. Keep a respectful distance; talk first about the benefits from his point of view. If you have been a pesky inconsiderate Mars person you may find yourself unceremoniously swatted. Pluto can be mean and mean it. At times they are entirely correct. That was a wakeup love tap. Please be very careful where you hang out, with whom and when. Don’t put yourself in danger of sexual assault. Be mindful and safe. Just don’t be there.
Pluto trine Fixed Star ALGOL!
Pluto has been and will be trine fixed star Algol, making exact aspects through 2022. He has been having the Algol experience, and is one of the few who can stand up under this trial. Very luckily, the trine is the most favorable angle, so though not unscathed, he survives. Both Pluto and Algol are respected and incur life and death situations, ie the virus. For those of you who are activated by the 26-27th degrees, you may find yourself appreciating this heavenly battle, experiencing it some yourself. Algol is given a wide range, up to 5 degrees, when for most fixed stars only 1 degree is allowed. See more about Algol
Pluto is now at 26° Capricorn and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Allowing a 3 degree range, anytime Pluto is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol at 26 Taurus 27. That period started Feb 2020 – virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. Exact trines are formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20, & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022, Aug 29, Nov 16.

Sagittarius/Gemini Full Flower SuperMoon Total Lunar Eclipse, Buddha’s BirthdayAstrology Chart!
Jupiter in Pisces! Bowl Chart! New Moon conjunct Gemini’s Planet Mercury RETROGRADE, Saturn square Uranus!We’re dancing with the Ring of Fire! Time to make a Circle!
EXCITING! Thursday morning, June 10th, the Sun will come up over the NORTHEAST Tri-State area looking like a crescent Moon. It will be near the peak of a partial eclipse of the Sun in which 73%, updated to 80%, of the Sun’s disk will be obscured by the passing New Moon. Check for the right time for sunrise in your area! BE THERE!
Sunrise coinciding with the peak of a solar eclipse of large magnitude is a rather rare occurrence; for NYC it has happened only twice in the last 150 years: in Sept. 1875 and October 1959. Thanks to meteorologist Joe Rao for the info! The Eclipse is Partial in US, Duration is 03m51s.
This is the second Eclipse of four in 2021 and the second lunar event of five while Jupiter is in its first lap in Pisces!
Gemini is the first sign that happens wholly while Jupiter is in Pisces, Cancer is next this year! Later, Aquarius, Pisces and Aries will also be wholly while Jupiter is in Pisces. Other signs will be partially while Jupiter is in Pisces, and some not at all. Jupiter, moving slowly to Retrograde, will be in only 0, 1 and 2 degrees during Gemini, so few will be directly affected by Sun sign directly, but it will be potent if they are. At 1 and 2 degrees, Jupiter will be in a 1 degree station May 26 to July 16, 51 days! Those of you with factors at those degrees will be engaged for that period of time.
Factors in Gemini will be challenged, squared. Jupiter will challenge whether what is said is true. Jupiter may be slanderous in this combination, so keep things true and be able to back them up. Jupiter may wish more is said, is more meaningful than gossip. However, embellishing a mild tale to heroism is fair game, LOL, and maybe that IS true actually, more important than realized! Gemini may bring the data, but Jupiter shows its purpose. Gemini may be a bit surprised, even annoyed, when he thinks it’s all much ado over nothing. If he worked hard to get that data and Jupiter thinks it’s nothing, Gemini may be disappointed with not being appreciation. Please do thank your connections for what they bring. If Jupiter claims a false premise or principle, Gemini, who tends to be more neutral, may stand up and speak against the use of his data in such a way. If things go well, Gemini may find himself publicly named as the courageous reporter of a critical piece. There may be some adjusting as his status is changed.
Jupiter is now in new territory, not been in Pisces since 11/12 years ago! Same sign, but the other planets have moved and times have changed, a lot! New priorities. He loves to travel, transmit and teach, wake us to the greater possibilities! As such, new territory is nothing new to him, he opens those big eyes wide, takes it in, adapts on his feet in a moment and dances as if he was born to it, which he is! Good chance he can speak the language in record time! Pisces is the ultimate adventurer! Pisces shows him the dreamtime right here on Earth! Pisces can take him to different dimensions any time of day anywhere! There can be overload since beingness is whole and permeating every part of your being. It can be confusing, moments of feeling lost because you really have never been here before! There IS NO MAP. It’s an ultimate freedom and you never will go back to exactly what you were before. There will be moments of enchantment, like following the Pied Piper, and crazy longings to go home again, not common for Jupiter. And then you will be at the next part of the adventure and forget where you were before, wanting to continue forever!
Mama Moon has skipped through the signs to join Father Sun in Gemini in another Bowl chart! She s brimming with information to merge with what Father Sun has gathered. She has feminine insights, nurtured the givers, while he has been bold and golden bright, proud of his catch! He encouraged his contacts to continue their efforts and impressed them with the importance of their purpose. She’s humming; he’s whistling!
The New Moon is right there with Mercury in Mercury’s first sign Gemini. Carefree Air sign Gemini is likened to Hummingbird, a miraculous flyer, buzzing here and there, heart beating fast! Many migrate, spending winter in Central America or Mexico, and migrate north to their breeding grounds in the southern United States as early as February, and to areas further north later in the spring. They are super strong and weigh only 2.4 grams to as much as 4.5, average weight about the weight of a penny. Mercury adds to the Gemini dance, light on his feet, hovers where needed, catching tidbits from the ethers! It’s like having built in radar! A lot of informative chat will be happening, ideas circulating at warp speed, taking notes might serve you well! Plan to be with people who have current knowledge, are quick to see and adjust quickly to new information they hear.
Moon, Sun and Mercury are all square misty Neptune in his own sign Pisces. Gemini is right brained, logical and Neptune is the artist, an impressionist, whether it be video, music, images that open you to your very Soul. Neptune has imagination beyond ken, takes in their surroundings wholly. It’s not just what you say/hear, but how you feel when you say/hear it, the potential it awakens in you! Misunderstandings are understandable, LOL! Some communication is seemingly garbled, but undoubtedly heading in an instinctual direction. With Neptune the here and now is only one part of the dimensions he comprehends! It’s like speaking (singing) in overtones! Gemini may be put off when Neptune appears not to be listening. And Neptune may not be able to listen because so much is triggered in him that he is absorbed by his own thinking. Give it a spell. Wait a bit and ask what he came up with. Could be rather astonishing!
Pluto has potency because he is the base planet of the Bowl, the one pushing the planets forward, keeping things moving. Capricorn is a cardinal action sign, the Builder. Pluto, Scorpio’s planet, and Cap love renovating and selling for profit! Pluto is an awesome shaman healer, delves deep into our psyche, cleans us to the marrow. He still sextiles Neptune, the sacred spiritualist. They have mused over many a dilemma for many years and are now resolving some matters after abysses, whirlwinds of dissention, many deaths and remarkable healings. Neptune is in his own sign Pisces, a 168 year placement, at the peak of his power. His insights are invaluable. Many long awaited dreams are becoming miracles in the flesh.
Pluto started being the base planet of the outer planets when Jupiter passed him in 2020. Jupiter will become the base planet in 2029. So, Pluto holds the base position 8+ years, including during its own sign change from Capricorn to Aquarius. He has earned respect by operating successfully during troubled times. Sometimes he has been instigator, propelling us to and through even dangerous situations. Other times he has held wise council and solved monumental matters, or at least started the process.
Mars is important because he is the Bowl’s leading planet! At the New Moon he is at the last degree of Cancer, past Pluto now – the main danger is over! As Pluto and Capricorn have to do with endings, so does the last degree of a sign. There is an urgent sense of the need to finish, sometimes a desperation. Maturity is upon us, we take new stature, others have expectations of us. We are happy, sometimes surprised, sometimes disappointed or angry we couldn’t have done more. Yet here we are, ready or not, embarking into a new zone. Congratulations are due, we may be a bit scared. Cancer was matters of home and family, business, how we faced our challenges emotionally. Independence was called for from culture, the matriarchy, mothers and children’s needs, to grow up! Other times we are SO ready! Finally! Blow the trumpet, let them know you are coming!
Mars enters Leo June 11 at 6:34 AM Pacific, the day after the Eclipse! Hot Mars is very comfortable in fiery high spirited Leo! Both are athletic and were born to win! Doing exercise you love will keep you trim. They both take chances, Mars makes fast getaways; Leo fluffs his mane and stands his ground! In Leo, Mars can be a lady’s man or carry your ribbon forever, your champion! They love to be admired and will do better for it! Mars will fight for your right to be yourself, to be at your full glory, to take your spot in the Sun! The combination can be needing to be himself, to gain personal confidence with little thoughts of others. When he is strong enough, able, he will super generously do what he can for you too. It’s not uncommon for him to overdo it. He wants to be the best, but burnout can be a factor. Eat well, keep hydrated. Put yourself in training lockdown and get good quality rest. The world will still be there when you get back up, LOL, and you will do even better than before!
As the Bowl leader, the word is out and people know he is on his way. He’s quick and feisty, he misses no one with that alert scanner of his! He catches up if you try to avoid him, and he calls you to task, tags you for the use of your skills, which he is quick to assess. He may be quicker to anger in fire signs! In Cancer, in the kitchen, he may toss the tortillas higher. In Leo it can be loud and scary, usually brief. he can be rebellious if you try to tell him what to do or threaten his loved ones. If he is assaulting someone, get help quickly rather than interfere. Your judgement. Anger management may be called for. If he is fighting in your behalf, kudos and thanks!
► Within the Bowl, the big happenings are Saturn in Aquarius retrograde to square Uranus ASAP in Taurus June 14, and sextile Chiron in Aries June 23! This is their second 2021 pairing. They are sorting and integrating what they learned on their first aspects, Feb 9 and 17. Their final aspects will be Nov 26 and Dec 23. This Gemini Eclipse, with all its trimmings, prepares us for the June 14 Saturn Aquarius retrograde square Uranus in Taurus.
Saturn is harnessing the exotic futurist inventive genius Uranian/Aquarian energy for the important work of these times, and especially is preparing us all to use it wisely, as well as preparing us for Pluto’s sign change into Aquarius March 23, 2023! See more Freedom to think is essential to create the new possibilities in a timely fashion. To have friends, collaborate, gather our tribe, work in synchrony, network globally is all part of the growth of our collective consciousness. Philanthropy will take on new meaning.
Saturn is Capricorn’s planet, now taking on all of humanity in Aquarius! He can wield tremendous power when he gathers the troops. He’s a quick learner and sees the way things are moving. Change can be harnessed and guided, focused to favorable outcome. Saturn has been sextile Chiron in Aries, another business planet, also great for relationship selections, a shaman and teacher! Chiron, fiery in Aries is sparking ideas right and left. There have been so many long plans and purposes in the past, it’s refreshing to discover new components. With Saturn’s community wide connections, it is time to broaden the range of investments.
Many 2021 factors have an Aquarian component. We are preparing for Pluto’s entry into Aquarius in 2023. We are more aware now that some connections need reworking, fixing. Some ideas have long term implications worth working for and are financially productive! Make notes then network like crazy to get more ideas to complete the package, select who will work together, and get it rolling! See Saturn in Aquarius Saturn is open to new areas of responsibility. Chiron is livening him with the latest healing and teaching ideas!
Venus in Cancer, Mama’s Girl, is favoring her friend Uranus in Taurus. He is in one of her signs, so though he can be weird at times, she has a resonance with him and appreciates his unpredictable not always socially acceptable ways. She intuits his genius and at times can act as translator, buffer, go-between. Cancer is a tad conservative and she helps others feel safe with him. She is an astute and magnetic business person, so they will often follow her lead and even invest!
Venus is not quite as happy with Chiron, yet, she knows good bold leadership when she sees it. While she’s being more polite, Chiron in Aries may heal you even if you don’t ask and didn’t think you were ready for it, don’t even want it! Chiron just laughs and says get it up, no time to dally! Ok. That’s a legitimate choice at times. No gentle courtship there either. But maybe that’s just what she needs to consider further, more robust relationships in her life! She thinks he’s crude sometimes, yet she’s attracted too. What to do?!
Pluto Trine Fixed Star Algol 26 Taurus 27 in 2020 – 2024
Pluto is of Scorpio, the sign opposite Algol’s sign Taurus, but Pluto now in Capricorn gentles that opposition because Pluto Capricorn trines, favors Algol. Pluto rules death and rebirth while Algol is considered to bear misfortune, often death. They understand each other. Neither is to be messed with. Capricorn is noted for facing reality squarely.
Algol is the baddest Star according to some! It is a rare triple star and eclipsing binary, which means it blinks, and changes brightness, even ‘disappears!’ It is the Medusa’s Head, carried in the left hand of the Hero, Perseus. On the dark side, ‘It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens.’ Some say it’s not the ‘bad’ within us but pushing through blockages to the beauty beyond is what really matters. We can face our demons with sincere intent and life changes for the better! See more!
Many give Algol a wide berth, plan wisely astrologically. Astrologers often allow 5 degrees for the effective range with Algol while most stars get only 1 degree range. If you have chart factors in that 5 degree range, one way or another you are connected with Algol. If you have questions, do see your astrologer.
Pluto is now at 26° Capricorn and moves only 3° a year. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Allowing a 3 degree range, anytime Pluto is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol at 26 Taurus 27. That period started Feb 2020 – virus time, and will go through Jan 2024. It is now continuously trine Algol. Exact trines are formed 5 times: on Spring Equinox Mar 20, & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022, Aug 29, Nov 16.
One hopes the trine, a good aspect, bends the relationship with Algol to a more satisfactory outcome. Earth signs are a bit ‘indelible.’ Their effects are more long lasting. Keep turning the tables on Algol’s bad rep. Recent violence, covid deaths, may leave raw feelings of grief, bitterness, betrayal. Freedom is still at issue. Stay calm in the face of violence, shift your connections so better can happen, turn a page, try out some new possibilities. Know your rights and choose safety unless/even if you are trying to save someone’s life. If you are the offender, get all the help you can to change. Many a fine leader has come from a dark place.
Pluto understands much of this. Capricorn often has working answers to bring us back together in common cause. Be safe and be well. Tread gently. Get all the facts before you pass judgment. Steady in the Light.
Algol’s connection with the Galactic Center!
Algol and the GC are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. Currently Algol is at 26 Taurus and the GC is 27 Sag. Whenever one is activated, they both are. Algol and the GC have an oblique position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics. They see peripheral factors that influence the outcome. Inconjuncts sometimes lead you on a goose chase, but maybe to greener pastures. You do get a greater perspective. Even if you go back home, you are different. You have perhaps made new friends and associates that can carry that sector for you, or be a link to that sector when you need it. Excellent adjustments are in the offing. Destination Algol would not usually be a conscious choice, but sometimes it is part of our Path and it just happens. Square your shoulders and do it, eyes wide open. Fascinating encounter.
Oh, yes, Algol strikes fear in a lot of hearts, but so does the GC when people find out it is one gigantic black hole!!! You could vanish in an instant! You astral travelers might should be careful? I like to think of Algol as the GC’s Guardian. Algol is considered to be a super powerful feminine force. It would take such an entity to protect the mighty GC!Algol is ready to stomp her feet and ‘invite’ you to travel, or takes you another place once the GC’s info has been bestowed, a place that needs the information the most.
Fixed stars Bellatrix and Capella!
The New Moon, Moon and Sun, 19 Gemini 47, and Mercury RX at 20 Gemini 41, are about to conjunct Bellatrix at 20 Gemini 57, then Capella at 21 Gemini 51! The Sun conjuncts Bellatrix June 11, Capella June 12.
Bellatrix is powerful, massive pale yellow star, in Orion’s left shoulder! Bellatrix is feminine Latin for Female Warrior aka the Amazon Star! Per Elsbeth Ebertin: In addition to Mars…’there is the influence of a Mercurial kind. This will make for characteristics such as quick decision-making; thoughts and plans being realized with energy, courage and fighting spirit; strategic talents, ability to organize; discrimination; but also, often the reckless aggressiveness of a belligerent daredevil.’
With Moon: Per Robson, ‘Luxury, lust, vain ambition, waste, ruin, blindness by accidents, great power, honor and wealth, honor in martial matters, as soldier, surgeon, metal worker; may attain distinction through courage.’ Kirk Douglas
With Sun: Vacillating, changeable, indecisive in business, mechanical ability, riches and honor but final ruin, blindness by accident, disease, extreme sickness, fevers or violent death. Anne Frank, George H. W. Bush See more at Astrology King
Capella, a Behenian Star, is in constellation Auriga, marking the goat carried by the Charioteer. Auriga is Little She-Goat. Per Elsbeth Ebertin: Though Mercury-Mars nature, ‘the Mercury properties are more evident, and show in love of learning, studiousness and interest in research. These properties are accentuated if Capella is connected with Moon [Kirk Douglas], Mercury or the Ascendant. In plain people these properties make themselves known by persistent, annoying and inquisitive curiosity. According to tradition, this fixed star also makes people somewhat odd. This could be counted as another manifestation of a weak Neptunian influence. Connected to beneficial stellar bodies, natives will become popular, receive honors and have success in material enterprises.’
With Sun: Per Robson, ‘Vacillating, changeable, too loquacious, quick speech, misunderstood and criticized, martial honor and wealth.’ Anne Frank, George H. W. Bush, Boy George, Donald Trump See more at my go-to site, comprehensive info on fixed stars: Astrology King! Jamie Partridge is terrific!

Thank you for making a difference! Sharing is caring! Let's get the word out!
Capricorn can do ultimate isolation survival, high altitude to sparse deserts, but also the intricacy of big business in the largest cities of the world. Full Moon from Nob Hill across the Bay Bridge, San Francisco by Mongolian photographer Ronaldo Farelli.
This is the last lunar event of 2020! It rides the fulcrum between the Winter Solstice Saturn/Jupiter Aquarian sign change/Great Conjunction and the calendar New Year. It is a go between, seeing the results of the recent events, as a Full Moon is arms wide open across the Cancer/Capricorn axis, gathering all it can to gift in fullness to 2021! Cancer is loving and nurturing, memory; Capricorn is the Guardian, provides shelter, builds. The Full Moon assures the work will be carried on.
This is the first lunar event of Saturn and Jupiter now in Aquarius and the Great Conjunction having been made! The Conjunction was important for two major reasons. 1) It was in Aquarius, the first time since 1405, over 600 years ago! 2) The conjunction was super potent at only 6 arcminutes apart, the closest since 1623, nearly 400 years ago, and the closest observable since 1226, almost 800 years ago! It looked like a double star – slightly elongated, called the Christmas Star! Anything that close between big outer planets, to me qualifies as an eclipse! The channel is powerfully focused, both of their planetary energy and the sign Aquarius! This new time is charged, electric!
2020 Oct 31, Nov, Dec and 2021 [Jan very close], Feb, and March FULL Moons are all at 8 degrees, the number symbol of Infinity! The Moon signs are Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo and Libra. Those of you with factors in your charts at or within 2 to 3 degrees of 8, especially in those signs, will be the messengers. You have been preparing, now it is time to deliver! You have this and 2 more months available.
Dec 31, the last day of 2020, Mars, 26 Aries makes his last trine to the Galactic Center 27 Sagittarius and is trine the GC in this Full Moon Chart! It’s not just the Great Conjunction in Aquarius, but Mars is poised to take action, plant the seeds, get things started! Aquarius is the sign of the heavens, stars, and you can’t get much more potent than the Galactic Center! AQ is midsign between the Sagittarius GC and Mars in Aries, the Initiator, leader, first responder! Mars squared Pluto the 23rd, not an easy combination. He remembers the possible pain, difficulties, may have lost a battle. He sees how precious certain things are, that they are worth fighting for even if you lose. He’s more aware of life and death now, consequences. So he calculates just a little more cautiously now and chooses his battles more carefully, places the seeds more safely.
The Full Moon axis also has just made a Moon sextile and Sun trine with Uranus, the Aquarian Planet in Taurus. Sextiles represent opportunities. Mother Moon is in her own sign Cancer. Taurus, Moon and Cancer all lend a feminine touch, a nurturing quality to guide us through some of these changes that can seem abrupt at times. Uranus is a wild card, but in Taurus is more stabilized, somewhat patient. Once he gets rolling though, give him a clear path, remind/update him what our priority is so course corrections can be made appropriately. Cancer is excellent with business, so her practical advice may have already primed him of current needs.
Sun in Capricorn is a super worker when motivated, and Uranus in Taurus has planetary goals that could mean work in a professional capacity that just keeps getting better and more expansive. It might require continual upgrading, but one good thing begets another. Evolution is forever! Uranus is quickly savvy to link up with such a dedicated and capable person. Mercury is in Capricorn too, getting the specs, drawing the plans, getting materials. Pluto is just down the line in Capricorn and he’s waiting for the building to get to the point where investments can be made! Stay with it.
Mercury is assisted by his immanent semisextile with Venus in Sagittarius. There are some things to learn that will be worth the money, beautify their work – make it desirable. There are gracious connections and alliances made with people at universities, possibly churches, travel oriented organizations, involved with justice. Mercury sextiles Neptune. It’s more than money or reputation. Neptune is another form of art, is music, the Soul, compassion for those in need, humans or otherwise, the rights of all beings. Mercury can see that is part of things. There is a giving back, paying it forward component as well. Plus, LOL, Neptune is psychic and saves you a lot of time.
Venus is at Moon’s South Node in Sagittarius, square that Neptune! The South Node either blesses us with super skills from our past, or we are used to those and try to use them just because they used to be that good! But now, they could get in our way at times. One of the typical Sag ways of dealing with things when the going gets tough is to leave! Or they can try to dazzle us with their great array of knowledge or stories that distract. Venus in Sag loves both, and they might just be the rescue skill this time. Get people laughing, sharing, becoming comrades! You might decide to go to school, become an apprentice, to add a new chapter to your life.
The square with Neptune can be a disaster, sugar and drugs, self indulgence, sure you can get away with it, again! Maybe so. Maybe it will save your life if you run away this time! Maybe there are some old weaknesses in your closet and you can look them right in the eye this time and leave them behind. These new planets in Aquarius are going to give us more detachment, wanting freedom, and seeking friends going our direction. That old stuff is not going to hold our attention as it did. We are going to be less bored, and into new things to do that we will like more than the fears of our own weaknesses. We will be surprised and relieved with what we find ourselves doing. Yes!
The Full Moon spans Cancer to Capricorn. This is the traditional Mother/Father sign axis. Mother Moon is in her own sign, aware of cycles, changes in the valence, the Feminine, cultural nuances, our feelings. Moon remembers the past, collects antiques. Father Sun is in patriarchal Capricorn, scanning historical records, sometimes following in the family footsteps, particularly his Father. Inheritances often shape his destiny. Capricorns are builders. As Fathers they instinctively make shelter for their family. They are more realists having to get along with others out in the world. Working with earth, they come to know there are real laws, and human law too that by necessity regulates our safety.
The Sun and Moon recent squares with Chiron in Aries brought us to realize how we need to get moving. We were left with questions about what to do, how to do it, but knowing that we mustn’t neglect our intention. Chiron has to do with health matters, learning, partnering and business. They are all interdependent. There are some terrific ideas for new businesses because of the virus. Business will be conducted in money saving new ways. Our relationship with land and water will be mitigated, remediated to better conditions than we had before. Renovation, going back to the status quo, is no longer enough. Rights of all kinds are being revised. Time to make new bigger plans!
The 2021 aspects are already showing! Jupiter and Saturn will be squaring Uranus and sextiling Chiron. Their squares with Uranus will be sorting out friends, groups, networking, humanitarian ventures or not. Jupiter will tend to educate and instigate change while Saturn will quash it if it gets out of control. His regulation of it may be perfect as a program is set to unfold with checkpoints and at times will be faster, other times held at bay temporarily or even scrapped if it fails. We are in new times. There will be trial and error.
Sextiling Chiron, more dedicated relationships will be started. Healing will be part of the aim. Jupiter will push for more education/teaching. Saturn will want cures for him and his family, employees. Relationships will take on a deeper tone. Travelers will want more meaning; professionals will want more dedication. Jupiter sextiles Chiron Jan 11, the day before the Jan 12/13 NEW MOON! See Jupiter in Aquarius Sextile Chiron in Aries!Jupiter squares Uranus Jan 17 only a few days later!
Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus are in neighboring signs! They have been semisextile 13 years, their last aspects in 2021! Chiron is sizzling in fiery Aries, a good business person as well as a healer/teacher, terrific consultant! In this combination a promotional organization would suit his Spirit! Supporting new students, think tanks, getting groups started! Avant-garde ideas, exotic explorations on land or in the lab, unique sports, research for new cures, looking for leaders! All would be exciting ventures! They have been closely together in the background…in a small but potent aspect.
Sweeping change is often started with chaos and discomfort, takes extra effort to initiate. This is our chance to step up for things that will introduce new possibilities. Uranus in Taurus is working for stable global union. Taurus is Earth herself, her lands, indigenous peoples that inhabit them, the Standing Tree People, Stone People, the Four Leggeds, all. Uranus is working for planetary freedom for all beings. Networking is key and Uranus rules electronics, computers, cells, social media as well as planes. All are important means to connect valuably with each other. Friendships open gateways. Uranus is becoming more Shamanic. Chiron is acquiring a more humanistic range of healing and teaching.

Monday Jan 12at 9 PM Pacific, Tuesday 13 AM Eastern, 23 Capricorn 13.
SIX months of New Moons at 23 degrees activate Three Fixed Stars: Arcturus and Spica, Algol! Happy New Year New Moon!
May you walk into this New Year, and new times, in all your glory! It’s a new time. Snow Princess and Polar Bear by famed fantasy illustrator and author Ruth Sanderson.
Jan 12/13 is 2021’s first Lunar event, and the first New Moon with Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius! It is also the day after the Jan 11 Jupiter in Aquarius sextile Chiron in Aries, the first aspect of 2021! You can see in the chart just how very close we are to it’s companion aspect Jupiter square Uranus.
Jupiter in Aquarius sextile Chiron in Aries is one frisky aspect! Jupiter will tend to educate and instigate! New plans, crazy plans, extraordinary plans are coming alive as we breathe! Chiron in Aries is here to give instant healing as we go. Jupiter, Aquarius and Aries can all be quite independent! Our new life can be on our own, unfettered by others’ needs, clean spirited. Jupiter is usually instantly friendly and amazingly converts difficulty to advantage! Aquarius gathers the tribe and the whole is greater than the sum of the parts! Collective collaborative action often has a potent tipping point factor. Aries is up ahead paving the way, Chiron removing obstacles that block our confidence. New leaders will emerge in this time of opening! See Jupiter in Aquarius Sextile Chiron in Aries!
This aspect is quickly followed by Jupiter in Aquarius square Uranus (the AQ planet) in Taurus Jan 17! Uranus has already been uprooting old ideas that were thought to be basic. Environmental matters have been top concerns. Jupiter will amplify electronics of all kinds. Friendships that no longer serve will be left behind; breakthroughs to new more potent connections, networks, groups will happen. Humanity and human rights, the connectedness of all beings, will be attended to. Some people won’t be going anywhere, some will disembark the planet, others will see the Light and new arrangements will be made, supported powerfully by unity of purpose.
It will be the spiritual honor of this New Moon to turn the tide to awareness of the blessed possibilities coming! FOUR planet stellium, Venus, Sun/Moon, and Pluto, are in Capricorn anchoring systems that will be handling the changes in safe and efficient ways. They will remind us to put our Guardians in place, to reinforce any weak structures that will carry this load. Stabilize and be substantial. Capricorn is long term aware. As a wise one, he let’s go of what no longer serves, makes room for excellence and progress, is often the leader of his field through working hard in a timely manner.
Venus stands alone in Capricorn, but has the significant position of being the base planet pushing the whole chart along! This is a tightly focused Bundle chart, all the planets within 121 degrees, a third of the zodiac! Intense! She trines by 1 degree, Uranus, the leading planet that Jupiter is squaring. Uranus, the Networker, will add his magnetic and electric genius, dispersing their gifts as far and wide as possible. He makes us feel alive, reminds us we can do this together, in unity! She is helping Uranus with Grace and style. She may be a bit conservative, but that helps when transitions are afoot. When a lot of change happens at once, sufficient investigation may not be done, mistakes that slow us down in the long run may happen that could have been avoided. Mars in Taurus is with Uranus and he can push for a little more speed, keep us going. Some things just have to happen right now so they will happen at all! Even if mistakes are made, at least we are rolling!!!
The New Moon is next in Capricorn! Moon has the feels. She is aware of any classic Capricorn doubts – not good enough, costs too much, takes too much time, depressed, afraid, what will others think, and on and on. Moon knows about those things and knows they will pass, changes will happen, yes, we will make mistakes – some too funny for words, who cares what some of those fools think, we’ll prove ourselves or start again or won’t. Life is. Just do it. Sun is delighted for her support even if he doesn’t always say so. If she is stuck in the kitchen, life, needs a break from the kids, he gathers her up for a little jaunt that brings the light back into her eyes! He treasures how smart she is, her life saving advice and excellent business sense. She brings him art and beauty, a wonderful home to be safe in. He in turn, works hard to bring her the best he can. Thanks be to both.
They are ONE degree of Pluto! Pluto has been in Capricorn for some years now. He has a certain accrued wisdom. There have been uproars, death and healing, business extremes, failures and remarkable recoveries and successes! Pluto has to do with monies, intimate relationships, cleansing and detoxing, the Kundalini life force. Moon and Sun will give strong support, delve into hidden faults and nurture the demons away. Moon will bring winter foods and a hug; Sun will light us internally while spiritual ‘surgery’ is processed. Relax and release. Refrain and reframe. Remediate and resume.
Saturn and Jupiter are at their beginning degrees in Aquarius getting used to their new shoes that now have wings on them! Jupiter is at home in this new wildcard sign. Saturn is the planet of Capricorn so he doesn’t feel so all alone with those four back in Cap smoothing the big sign transition. Plus, he previewed AQ from Mar 21 to July 1! He’s sort of getting his second wind now, not finding the Aquarian changes so abrupt as he did now that he expects and somewhat understands them. Saturn is also aspecting Chiron and Uranus.
Feb 9 Saturn sextiles Chiron – good for business beginnings, healing from pandemic miseries and costs. Saturn will want cures for him and his family, employees. More dedicated relationships will be started. Relationships will take on a deeper tone.
Feb 17 Saturn squares Uranus – revamps his connections and associates as well as friendships. Everyone is revising their life settings these days, so this is excellent for us all to clear the way for our new purposes. We need to lighten up and be more free to make these changes. In these new times, there will be old fashioned trial and error in the beginning. Mars in Taurus, delighted to be with fellow rebel Uranus, squares Saturn exactly Jan 20! Saturn has a lot on his plate and Mars is steadfastly pushing him to keep the future Uranian options in mind and take seed action in their behalf. Mars can get a bit grouchy when he thinks Saturn is deliberately slowing things down, but that might be a wise choice. Slow down and see before leaping? Yet Mars is in the slowest of all the signs and more patient than he ever is. Environmental matters have been delayed, so Mars is also right to get that back on track soonest. Taurus rules Mother Earth.
Neptune in his own sign Pisces stands alone among the planets at 18 degrees, but squares the Moon’s North Node in Gemini! Neptune is observer this time. He takes in, synthesizes, modifies and shares with ones whose charts connect. He cues them with dreams and images, insights, of things to come and what they can do with their specific talents. The North node is a place we long to do better. Gemini is one of Mercury’s signs. It practices thinking, communications, the breath, touch/laying on of hands, another form of communications. In this chart we look to Mercury in it’s other sign, Aquarius.
Mercury in Aquarius has been tagging planets right and left! He has squared Mars, conjuncted Saturn, sextiled Chiron, semisextiled Venus, and squared Uranus! Now he is taking the messages wherever he can, preferably to groups – saves time! Mars urges us to get going and take leadership, start fresh and stay with it. With Saturn, Mercury was impressed how serious things can be, to be dedicated, keep your commitments on track and on time. Chiron shared healing news, how to speak more effectively, that we must spread the word. Mercury and Uranus both have to do with communications. Mercury gathers data, Uranus disburses it to gather like minded people together in unity to succeed where one alone couldn’t. Uranus can weave all the intelligence together and electrify us with the amazing inventions and solutions to things we didn’t even know were problems! Additionally, Mercury is of Virgo, the sign opposite Pisces. What Pisces dreams, Mercury can put to words and the Miracle is inaugurated!
23 Degrees, Fixed Stars ~ Spica and Arcturus, Algol
2020 Oct, Nov, Dec and 2021 Jan, Feb, Mar NEW Moons are all at 23 degrees, a SIX months sequence! April 2021 is at 22 degrees. The signs are Libra, Scorpio, Sag, Cap AQ and Pisces. Then Aries at 22 in April. All of these will aspect Fixed Stars Arcturus and Spica at 23 Libra! Also, this is important because all these charts connect with the Galactic Center! Since the charts are sequential by sign, refresh and update at each one. All of these New Moons will aspect TWO lucky fixed stars! This New Moon is square (challenges) Arcturus, now at 24 Libra 30, and Spica at 24 Libra 06! These two stars must be read together. Spica is Virgo maiden girly and prim compared with Arcturus in the constellation Boötes, the herdsman. She is in the palace; he is not, yet both are workers! They do not sit together in the sky. Spica is -11 below the Ecliptic (the Sun’s path) while Arcturus is +19 high above the Ecliptic! With the New Moon at a challenge point, we will have to work things out to get the blessings…
Spica is considered especially lucky and blessed. She lives in a difficult place that is called the Via Combusta, a ‘dry’ path from 15 degrees Libra to 15 degrees Scorpio, but Spica is the oasis. She is one of the 15 Behenian Fixed Stars, a selection of fifteen stars considered especially useful for magical applications in the medieval astrology of Europe and the Arab world. Spica is noted for spiritual and religious qualities, honors and fame, artistic skill, drawing ability, musical talent and a good sense for literature and the sciences. There can be refinement, a noble bearing, sublimation of sexual tensions. See more at Astrology King
Arcturus, another Behenian Star, moves things along and keeps order! He’s really a go-ahead enterprising spirit. Humble he is not! He has great pride, is grandly liberal, commanding, has cosmopolitan views. Arcturus gives riches, honors, high renown, self-determination and prosperity by navigation and voyages. You can see how Spica and Arcturus can complement each other and learn both finesse and boldness from each other!
If these stars are not well connected with your planets or others in the sky with them, yes, there can be troubles. In this case, Pluto, now at 24°, currently squares them along with the New Moon! Better watch your rearview mirror. In Capricorn there can be dishonor, discovery of past transgressions. Pluto can hold extraordinary self discipline and can go to certain extremes in some matters at the same time. There may be financial ripples… You may have paid a significant debt or incurred one. Some relationships may be on the block needing a decision. Your career may be at a critical point. What about retirement? Health is needing attention. If they are lucky and dodge the bullets, they can break old rigid patterns and succeed against the odds. The situation may call for a lot of discretion, playing your cards close to the chest. Use Spica’s finesse and Arcturus’s bluff!
Fixed Star Algol 26 Taurus 27 in 2020
Pluto is of Scorpio, the sign opposite Algol’s sign Taurus, yet Pluto now in Capricorn gentles that opposition because Pluto is now in a sign that trines, favors Algol. Pluto rules death and rebirth while Algol is considered to bear misfortune, often death. They understand each other. Neither is to be messed with. Capricorn is noted for facing reality squarely.
Algol is the baddest Star according to some! It is a rare triple star and eclipsing binary, which means it blinks, and changes brightness, even ‘disappears!’ It is the Medusa’s Head, carried in the left hand of the Hero, Perseus. On the dark side, ‘It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens.’ Some say it’s not the ‘bad’ within us but pushing through blockages to the beauty beyond is what really matters. We can face our demons with sincere intent and life changes for the better! See more!
Many give Algol a wide berth, plan wisely astrologically. Astrologers often allow 5 degrees for the effective range with Algol while most stars get only 1 degree range. If in neighboring signs, only 3 or less degrees might be used. If you have chart factors in that 5 degree range, one way or another you are connected with Algol. If you have questions, do see your astrologer.
Pluto is now at 24° Cap 35′ and moves only 3° a year. Since Pluto is an outer planet, some might only allow a 3° range for it to be in connection with Algol. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Anytime it is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol. That period started Feb 2020 and will go through Jan 2024. Exact trines are formed 5 times: Mar 20 & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022, Aug 29, Nov 16.
One hopes the trine, good aspect, has bent the relationship with Algol to a more satisfactory outcome. Earth signs are a bit ‘indelible.’ Their effects are more long lasting. Keep turning the tables on Algol’s bad rep. Stay calm in the face of violence, shift your connections so better can happen. Know your rights and choose safety unless/even if you are trying to save someone’s life. If you are the offender, get all the help you can to change. Many a fine leader has come from a dark place.
This in turn may have paved the way for our New Moon trine Algol. It is often found that ‘good’ aspects like trines may suffer with difficult factors like Algol. They may come to a crisis yet weather it. Capricorn is the third of the earth signs, has experience and solidarity, so is likely to come through – not entirely unscathed, but, against the odds, still kicking and better for the test. Could have a grin on their face, LOL!
Galactic Center at 27 Sagittarius 08!
Algol’s connection with the Galactic Center! Algol and the GC are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. Currently Algol is at 26 Taurus and the GC is 27 Sag. Whenever one is activated, they both are. Algol and the GC have an oblique position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics. They see peripheral factors that influence the outcome. They sometimes lead you on a goose chase, but maybe to greener pastures. But you do get a greater perspective. Even if you go back home, you are different. You have perhaps made new friends and associates that can carry that sector for you. Excellent adjustments are in the offing. Destination Algol would not usually be a conscious choice, but sometimes it is part of our Path and it just happens. Square your shoulders and do it, eyes wide open. Fascinating encounter.
Oh, yes, Algol strikes fear in a lot of hearts, but so does the GC when people find out it is one gigantic black hole!!! You could vanish in an instant! You astral travelers might should be careful? I like to think of Algol as the GC’s Guardian. Algol is considered to be a super powerful feminine force. It would take such an entity to protect the mighty GC!Algol is ready to stomp her feet and ‘invite’ you to travel, or takes you another place once the GC’s info has been bestowed, a place that needs the information the most.
Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus are in neighboring signs! They have been semisextile 13 years, their last aspects in 2021! Chiron is sizzling in fiery Aries, a good business person as well as a healer/teacher, terrific consultant! In this combination a promotional organization would suit his Spirit! Supporting new students, think tanks, getting groups started! Avant-garde ideas, exotic explorations on land or in the lab, unique sports, research for new cures, looking for leaders! All would be exciting ventures! They have been closely together in the background…in a small but potent aspect.
Sweeping change is often started with chaos and discomfort, takes extra effort to initiate. This is our chance to step up for things that will introduce new possibilities. Uranus in Taurus is working for stable global union. Taurus is Earth herself, her lands, indigenous peoples that inhabit them, the Standing Tree People, Stone People, the Four Leggeds, all. Uranus is working for planetary freedom for all beings. Networking is key and Uranus rules electronics, computers, cells, social media as well as planes. All are important means to connect valuably with each other. Friendships open gateways. Uranus is becoming more Shamanic. Chiron is acquiring a more humanistic range of healing and teaching.
