Meanwhile Venus is almost exactly square to Jupiter, who is conjoined the north node of the Moon.The Moon/Mars opposition to start the day doesn't look great.

A Planetary Test of Patience
The Moon is in Aries today, moving toward a trine of Saturn by later this afternoon into early evening.I'm always fascinated by the way Moon trine Saturn days play out symbolically. I almost always find myself getting things done, coming to terms with basic truths that I might normally feel resistant to, implementing some form of organizational structure, or completing an important stage of a process.Other times I will feel lazy and without motivation but the overall effect will help me to slow …
Mercury Cazimi Today
The Moon is in Pisces this morning, about to sextile the Sun and Mercury in Capricorn and then oppose Jupiter. Meanwhile Mercury is cazimi today--at the heart of the Sun, and both planets are exactly trine to Jupiter. Whatta sweet looking day!I sometimes wish I could insert live action images into my writing.

By later this afternoon she'll move into Aquarius and apply to a square of Mars.Yesterday while cleaning and purging the attic I found more than I went looking for, and the overall experience cleaned something that had been hanging over me.

First New Moon of 2016!
Happy New Moon tonight everyone!Today I return back to another year of daily horoscope writing, and I have to say that while I'm glad to be back, it was nice to have a solid week off from writing. In the meantime my computer is back at the Dell repair center because it definitely crashed right as Mercury was stationing within a few degrees of my MC (related to career--it was my office computer!), but at the same time I received in the mail the new Mountain Astrologer whose cover this edition …
New Year Break!
Daily horoscopes will return at the next New Moon...taking a little time off to soak in the new year. If you are receiving a kickstarter reward reading, I will be starting them on the New Moon. However since I have 100+ recordings to make it will take me a solid moon cycle or two to accomplish all of them, and they will be done in the order the donations came in. I will be emailing everyone for your birth information and any other necessary details shortly! …
