Sun Sep 06 the Moon is still in Gemini when Venus goes stationary direct in Leo. Heads Up. The world won’t instantly return to its previous splendor, but you’ll feel the difference in your heart. The Moon leaves Gemini and enters Cancer at 10:40 am. Did you get much done? (continue reading…)

September 1st – 5th 2015

(all times are PDT)

September starts a few hours after one of the most intense of aspects – Venus conjunct Mars. In Leo, no less. Venus is retrograde but preparing to go stationary direct, so Venus may be moving more slowly than Mars and thus be stronger. Perhaps urbane good sense will outweigh passionate action. You decide. Regardless, it’s a Tuesday (the day of the week ruled by Mars, with the Moon in Aries (a Mars-ruled sign). Take that fire and burn your way through a month full of productive days. Be daring and undeterred. You can still love it, too. (continue reading…)

(all times PDT)

Sat Aug 22 the Moon is conjunct Saturn in Scorpio. Don’t let this bother you. Just deal with that one thing (or person) and don’t put it off. It’s also the last day of the year that the Sun gets to spend in its home sign of Leo. Tomorrow the world may seem cool, calmer, and less loud. (continue reading…)

Fri Aug 14 is the New Moon at 21 Leo. Take this lunar month to single out what you do best and be proud of it. Resolve to work harder to improve. About three and a half hours later, at 11:25 am the Moon is conjunct Venus. Be good to yourself and enjoy being with your friends. (continue reading…)

Fri Aug 07 the Moon is in Taurus when Mercury conjuncts Jupiter in Leo. Think big noble ideas, and for a while be totally committed to them. Twelve hours later Mercury changes signs, leaves Leo and enters its nocturnal home of Virgo. Your previous big noble thoughts will fade slowly but you can begin to edit and refine them now. At 10:40 pm the Moon enters the writer-friendly sign of Gemini. We have from now until 5:08 am Monday morning to blast out as much mercurial genius as we can. With Mercury now in Virgo, do it with a fine touch. (continue reading…)

August 1st -6th 2015

(all times PDT)

August starts on a Saturday, Saturn’s day of the week (duh), and nicely enough Saturn goes stationary direct on August 1. Never mind that Saturn is still in the closing degrees of Scorpio and doing what it can to be a good guest in the house of Mars (or, if you rather, the house of Pluto). You can get back to serious work and see accomplishment again, so why wait? (continue reading…)

(all times PDT)

Sat July 18 the Moon is conjunct Jupiter in Leo. It’s a weekend for making a big impression. In the afternoon at 3:38 pm, Venus changes signs, leaving glamorous Leo and moving into understated Virgo. Glamour and charm get more practical. Next, the Moon enters Virgo at 5:47 pm and two whole minutes later the Moon is conjunct Venus. A character in one of your books may get lucky in love, if you allow it. (continue reading…)
