The Moon is still void of course this morning in Cancer, though it will enter Leo this afternoon and immediately trine Saturn and oppose Mercury before being Full by tomorrow night.The Moon entering Leo is like an empress or queen holding court in our lives. She might enter through your own moods and desires, or she may enter through someone in your life or even an event or general theme for the day. She is proud and powerful, perhaps haughty or self-centered. She is warm and charming, …
Instagram and the Flow
The Moon is in Cancer today, now void of course until tomorrow. With Venus and Neptune conjoining and in square to Saturn, it's a good day to talk about leaky vessels, flow and flowing, wounds and wounded-healers.There are so many cliches floating around about "flow" these days that the idea has become bland. Rather than bringing to mind the ceaseless variations and fast moving intricacies of a river, flow now means something more like "placid." A too long day spent near the never ending REI …
Triggering Uranus/Pluto
Today the Moon has entered the sign of Cancer and is making trines this morning to Venus and Neptune in Pisces and then by later tonight will be triggering the Pluto/Uranus square and the nodal axis of the Moon.First, whenever the Moon enters a cardinal sign (for the past few years in fact), the Pluto/Uranus square is getting stimulated, which at this moment in time also involves the nodal axis of the Moon. This means that on these days we are usually getting the volume turned up in whatever …
Venus and Saturn’s Date Night
The Moon is in Gemini today, void of course until late tonight. Meanwhile, Venus in Pisces is square to Saturn in Sagittarius. Let’s take a closer look at this aspect and see how it might be reflected in our lives right now.While Venus in Pisces represents a kind of unbounded beauty, Saturn in Sagittarius represents the wisdom of mortality, age, and limitations.

Why Do Stars Love the Stars?
Celebrities and their astrologists practice an ancient psychological form of art.A few weeks ago I was invited to do astrology readings backstage at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles. I’ve been a professional astrologer for going on five years now, time enough to consider the enduring and even mythic relationship between celebrities and astrologers. When I first began my career, I was unexpectedly busy very quickly, seeing nearly five hundred clients in my first year of reading …
Venus Enters Pisces

Let’s take a closer look at the meaning of this placement, as well as what we might expect from Venus in the upcoming weeks.Let’s start with the constellation image of the two fish.

Trolls and Trolling
The Moon is in Taurus today, applying to sextile Mars in Pisces and then trine Pluto in Capricorn while also squaring Mercury retrograde (who is sextiling Uranus in Aries).After having to block/ban someone from my horoscope list for incessant “trolling” over the past several months, I got curious about the history of trolls. The names we give to people we don’t like are often filled with a unique history and deeper meaning. Even though I won’t be unblocking this woman, …
The Bull Bias of Balance
The void of course Moon in Aries will change over to exalted Taurus in the next few hours, where it will then make its first quarter aspect by tonight. Meanwhile Mercury retrograde will be making a sextile to Uranus in Aries this week, and Venus will change positions into Pisces (the sign of its exaltation). We’ll explore these subjects as the week progresses, but for today let’s look at the first quarter Moon.With the Sun in Aquarius we’re currently experiencing all the …
Flirting With Ideas Under Mercury RX
The Moon is in Aries this morning, about to sextile Mercury retrograde and then trine Jupiter in Leo. It's a good day for making plans or mapping out the not so distant future. Aries loves to break ground and move forward, and Aquarius loves the big picture. However, with Mercury retrograde it's important to listen to the voice of inhibition. Are we rushing forward too quickly? Are we missing something? Are there first steps we can take without over committing to something too quickly? …
