The Moon is in Virgo today, and meanwhile Venus has entered Sagittarius and is moving now toward a conjunction with Saturn.One good theme to watch for with Venus in Sagittarius, maybe not the most obvious one, but even more pronounced as Venus moves toward Saturn, is fidelity, or faithfulness in love.In all of our relationships, whatever style or shape, we are fooling ourselves if we think that romantic love or positive feelings are the only necessary ingredient. Just like we're fooling …

The Stars Sweetly Gleaming
The Moon is in Gemini this morning, applying to oppose Saturn in Sagittarius, then applying to sextile Uranus in Aries.A bit of a broody or potentially argumentative or busy and slightly stressed looking afternoon today with the Moon opposing Saturn and both in mutable signs (air & fire no less). However, perhaps offsetting their opposition we should notice that their rulers, Mercury and Jupiter are moving into a trine with each other at the same time. To me this has the look of a …

Cadency, Faith, and the Moment of Birth
The first quarter Moon is in Pisces this morning, which means both the Sun and the Moon are in the celestial houses of Jupiter.This morning as I was holding our newborn baby while she slept, I reflected on the great amount of mutability symbolized by the planets in the sky right now.

I thought about the fact that two of the four cadent houses (3 and 9) were associated …
