A Solstice New Moon. This year the longest night of the year (in the Northern half of the globe) will be unusually dark, as it lines up with the Capricorn New Moon. Tonight as many of us light the candles of Menorahs or illuminate Christmas tree we find ourselves on a night of transition. This […]
“Oh I have to say how I feel right now … oh but wait is that really how I feel?” Saturday’s full moon in Gemini happens so early in the morning here on the West Coast that it will look full tonight. As the Full Moon is always in the opposite sign of the […]
The New Moon in Sagittarius this Saturday comes only hours after the Sun has spun into the sign notorious for its Pollyannaism.

The combination of this […]

The quest seeking side of Mars is quite happy and fulfilled in adventurous Sagittarius. He is in Sagittarius until October 26th […]
Tonight, Jupiter the god of luck and optimism is dancing with Venus the goddess of love and beauty, in courageous, playful heart centered Leo. This conjunction is exact at 10:20 PDT, although we’re likely to feel it for the next few days. As they dance together they are likely to co-create some much-needed joy. The […]
