Here comes the Sun, sorta, for this September. There will be several aspects between the Sun and most of the planets, especially meaning outer planets. We also lose a major retrograde later in the month as Saturn goes stationary direct. What? You’re not ready for the ball to start rolling again? Saturn has a reputation for halting things, when actually it’s more like slowing down the break-neck pace that the inner planets favor. Keep your shoulders down and your hands up this month. You may want to remember to wear your sturdy gloves, too. (continue reading…)

October 2017

All times are PDT.

October at last! Summer is really over now (although not hurricane season). We are in the heart of pumpkin season. Earlier efforts may be bearing fruit, and that’s great, but it’s almost secondary to the continuing growth of the work in hand. This can be a very productive month. Stick with it!

Sun Oct 01 the Moon is in Aquarius all day. It’s the Sun’s day of the week. And, we start the month with a Mars-Pluto trine in the earth signs. We can accomplish a lot all month long if we remember to pursue our true passions and be willing to rock the boat if necessary.

Tue Oct 3 the Moon is in Pisces all day and conjoins Neptune at 5:45 am. Wake with dreams that are worth writing about.

Wed Oct 04 the Moon is in Pisces half the day, and in the Aries for the second half. If you dream away the first half, you’ll more than make up for it in the second. (continue reading…)

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…)
