The Moon is in Libra this morning, applying to Mars in Libra. Meanwhile Mars in Libra is applying to a square of Pluto and an opposition of Uranus in Aries.Last night I asked the posted a question asking if anyone else was feeling the intensity of the planets lately. The response was overwhelming and a number of people asked me to write my horoscope today about what might be going on astrologically. The most obvious answer seems to be that there is a combination of intense planetary dynamics …
The Lament of Civil Service
The Moon is in late Virgo today, and Venus is about to enter Scorpio later today. Meanwhile Mars in Libra is moving toward his square of Pluto and opposition to Uranus.With Neptune and Saturn in close square to each other and Mars triggering the Pluto/Uranus square, one theme that comes to mind, one that's been a part of my prayers lately, has to do with the ancient roles of priests within a community. Last week I went to a Catholic Mass because I realized I had never been to one before, at …

The Saturn/Neptune square being the first, but now the planet Mars is moving into a square with Pluto and an opposition to Uranus, both of which involve the returning …

The Moon has just entered Virgo and is immediately applying to an opposition of Neptune and square of Saturn. The day ahead will thus engage or activate the Saturn/Neptune square quite strongly.Since we've been taking time to cover the Saturn/Neptune square in depth, let's turn the dynamic once more and this time look at it from the perspective of Neptune's glamorizing or romanticizing of Saturn.Let's start by asking ourselves a simple question...is there anything in your life right now that is …
Disarming Our Ideas
The Moon is in Leo today, and the Saturn/Neptune square is still very close.Let's discuss another angle of the Saturn/Neptune dynamic today and talk about disarmament. The disarming effects of generosity and grace, or charity and kindness.One thing commonly signified by the Saturn/Neptune square is the softening or weakening of rigid principles or ideas for the sake of love, compassion, and forgiveness.Have you ever had an experience where someone you were holding something against, or someone …

My Visit with a Medical Intuitive
I know that some of you were interested to hear about my experience with the medical intuitive I visited with today. While some of it will remain personal, I've decided that I'd like to share a few elements of the experience because it was so entirely Saturn/Neptune that I wouldn't feel right not sharing it with others who are eager to learn more about Saturn/Neptune, like myself.First, the woman described the source of some of my reoccurring physical problems within a spiritual/psychological …
Astrology and the Body
The Moon will shortly enter Cancer and move toward a trine of Neptune and square to Mars. Today I'm reflecting on the mind/body connection in relationship to the Saturn/Neptune square.Throughout the history of astrology a perennial debate has taken place among astrologers as to how much of what is depicted in the symbols of a chart might be changed through various spiritual interventions. The Saturn/Neptune brings to mind the idea that certain limits (Saturn) might be overcome through …

The Moon is still in Gemini today, and meanwhile the Sun/Mercury and Saturn are in square to Neptune.Let's talk about another Saturn/Neptune theme today, one that actually goes back to some of the early American themes that surround thanksgiving, and that's the "fear of evil or bad spirits."The Saturn/Neptune combination sometimes brings to mind the idea of security against or from the unknown, unseen, or spiritual realms. Whereas …
