It's first quarter moon today. The Moon is in Aries and will square the Sun by later this afternoon. Meanwhile Jupiter and the north node are conjunct and Venus is moving into a square with Jupiter.Just after I was so flooded with love and affection for my wife yesterday that I posted an online profession of my love for her I smiled because I remembered that Venus is moving closer to her square of Jupiter. As the ruler of Sagittarius, Jupiter is playing host to Venus right now, and from the …
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. For example, right now I would be wearing a cone shaped paper birthday hat, and I would open one of those small popper bottles of confetti. That's kind of how the planets look and feel this …
Moon to Saturn and Venus in Sagittarius
The waxing crescent Moon is in Pisces today, moving toward a square of Saturn in Sagittarius and then Venus.Watch for the increase of emotional tension this afternoon as the Moon and Saturn interact. Specifically the issues of duties and responsibilities and how they override or interact with other our expectations of each other. Conflicts today can easily blow out into full scale debates about values or moral codes of conduct. The Moon in Pisces can also emphasize a non verbal or instinctive …

Mars/Neptune and Real Sacrifice
The Moon is in late Aquarius this morning, void of course until entering Pisces this evening. Meanwhile the Sun is moving toward a trine with Jupiter and Mercury is also applying to a trine of Jupiter through his retrograde. Additionally, Mars is applying to a trine of Neptune.With Venus separating from Saturn and Mars applying to Neptune it's a good day to consider the idea of sacrifice. The word has a variety of meanings, but perhaps one of the oldest involves the idea of "exchanging one thing …
Moon in Aquarius Seeks Friends
The Moon is in Aquarius this morning approaching a sextile to Saturn in Sagittarius and then Venus in Sagittarius. Meanwhile the Sun is moving into a trine with Jupiter and Mercury is also retrograding back to meet them.The word "friend" means to be attached to another by personal regard and preference. The word also means to prefer or to love. Interestingly enough the word "fiend" was often used in old english as a play on the word "friend" because it meant the opposite: an enemy. One we …
Mercury Retrograde and Recognition
The Moon is in late Capricorn today, applying to conjoin Mercury. 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. During the all day cleaning I sang Kundalini chants and the headphones I wore saved me from seriously knocking my head at least a dozen times on the low hanging beams. A few big a-ha moments …
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 …

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.

I will be emailing everyone for your birth information and any other necessary details shortly! …

Venus/Saturn and Fidelity
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 …
