  April 2013

Welcome to the flowery fantastic month of April. The way this year’s going, it may still have some snow and rain, too. (continue reading…)

Here comes March comes howling in!

Fri  01 Mar the Moon enters Scorpio. Serious stuff, this, and good thing. We have serious work to do. That it’s Venus’s day of the week may grant us all a little grace throughout the month. (continue reading…)

February 2013

Welcome to short and sweet February. (It might be cold, too.)  We start on the sweet Venus day of Friday with the Moon in Libra (one of the two signs ruled by Venus). Go for pleasantness and nice manners all month long. It can take you further than you suspect. (continue reading…)

Happy New Year!

We have the Moon in Virgo, giving us meticulous attention and appreciation for the small things as well as the big things in the coming month, and indeed in the whole year.

Jan 01 is a Tuesday, and the planet Mars brings us energy and motivation. Let’s not just burn it away.  Aspect-wise, it’s  a rich and complicated new year day, with the Moon opposed Neptune. Let this keep pointless fantasy under control without squelching your sources of inspiration. Two hour later the Moon trines Mercury, opening wide the channel to express yourself. The day ends with the Moon square Jupiter retrograde in Gemini. Big heads can resume normal size and the faucet gush of wordage can be set to an appropriate stream or trickle. (continue reading…)

We start the last month of the year on a Saturday (Saturn’s day) with the Moon at home in Cancer. (continue reading…)

November 2012

Welcome to November, in an autumn when even the weather has been intense and weird. We have a great beginning, with Nov 1 being on Thursday (Jupiter’s day of the week) and the Moon in writer/artist-friendly Gemini. Venus exactly opposes Uranus today. Don’t let this turn you off from the experimental and unconventionally creative (is that redundant?) this  month. Let it enhance your sensitivity to the new and fresh. Find the charm in what’s radical, without getting swept away. The Moon also conjuncts Jupiter today. This can raise emotions and personal expectations, too.  Make this a happy, productive day and take it forward with you all month long. (continue reading…)

October 2012

Happy October. We somehow survived that zinger of a full moon that ended last month.  It that didn’t kick-start your independent spirit, troublesome or no, I don’t know what will. Now we get to do a lot of it all over again, only different. Way different.

October 1 is a Monday, the Moon’s day. Remember to make this a month to be good to people, (continue reading…)

Welcome to the heart of Virgo, a time when we want softer voices, softer touches, and better attention to detail. Not that we get everything we want. (continue reading…)
