The Astrology of the Coronavirus: Part Two
In the past few weeks, I've received many questions asking me when the astrology says the coronavirus will end, or when the economy will return, or when we will be released from quarantines, etc. I've resisted making a video focusing on the length of the crisis we are facing because in my experience the obsession over how long something difficult will last rarely helps. At the same time, it is a reasonable and practical question, and I know that many people are having a high degree of anxiety …

The Mars, Jupiter & Pluto Conjunction
Today I've made a video blog covering this week's Mars/Jupiter/Pluto triple conjunction, which is promising to be a very intense series of transits. In this video, I also look at the God "Pan," whose name is being called out loud by millions and millions of people every day right now by virtue of the word we all keep using, "pandemic."

Thoughts from a Mars/Pluto Weekend
Well, it's been quite the Mars/Pluto weekend.Some thoughts...* Mars and Pluto together (among many other things) reflect both desire and anger, as well as the relationship between desire and anger.* When we desire something we are driven to make the choices that we believe will result in getting what we want.* We are not always aware of what we desire, or we are not always aware of why we desire what we desire.* As a result, we are often making choices based on desires that we do not …
