Paesaggio Notturno, 1908 by Teodoro Wolf Ferrari (Italian, 1878–1945) Hi friends. I just wanted to pop on here and share about the Sun-Saturn conjunction that has been ongoing for about a week and a half now. This conjunction can be particularly rough. Psychologically, it can predispose us to giving ourselves a hard time or giving…

Getting grabbed by Mars and Saturn
Mars and Saturn are currently in a square aspect. Some of us (ahem, those of us in Mars or Saturn ruled profection years, or who have a Mars Saturn hard aspect natally) may be feeling this more than others. I thought I’d pop in quickly to say that the current Mars Saturn square between Scorpio…
Mars and Saturn in the Astrology of a Snarly Week(s)
As I shared in the previous post, Mars and Saturn energies are among the most predominant astrological features of the next six or so months. Yesterday’s Moon in Aries joined with Mars in the sign by degree, physicalizing and activating that Mars-Saturn narrative. Whenever the Moon moves over a planet, particularly by conjunction, but any…
New Moon in Cancer and the Yoga of Restraint
The most recent New Moon in Cancer took place on July 20 at 28 degrees, 27 minutes of tropical Cancer. Directly across from it in the sky is stern and serious Saturn, treading backwards from 28 Capricorn to 25 Capricorn. The Moon-Sun opposite Saturn configuration is about regiment, or an initiation of realignment, to set…
Preparing for Planetary Transits in Advance – Or Making Ourselves Comfortable by Playing into the Illusion that We Are: An Examination

Transformation and the Nature of Change
I learned early on in my astrology studies that Pluto was associated with transformation. And I knew to always toss that in as a keyword whenever I thought about or discussed Pluto in an astrological context. I think most of us are entranced and enamored by the concept of transformation, because many people want to…
Eclipse Tips for the January 2019 Eclipse Season
Today we will enter eclipse season, with the first New Moon of 2019 tonight at 8:28pm ET occurring at 15 degrees Capricorn. Over the duration of eclipse season, pace of time and speed of events seem to quicken. A greater amount of activity is sandwiched in the time between eclipses, resulting in the feeling that…
5 Stand-Out Astrological Events in June 2018
The overall astrology of the first three weeks of the month is saturated with the air element, quickening social connection, conversation, and information sharing. With the presence of several planets in the water element, intuition, instinct, and emotion are also amplified. Water, traditionally labeled mute because it is wanting for words (which says nothing about…
What You Get When You Date a Venus-Saturn Person
I had a dream last night that I was being adorned with beautiful jewelry. I was admiring the big silver bracelet-watch on my wrist. Silver drop earrings were dangling from my ears, and a beautiful delicate silver necklace with a small pink stone encased in ornamented filigree silver cast was gently sitting on my…

The Mercury in Aries- Mars & Saturn in Capricorn square dance – April 5 and 26. First Mercury square Saturn was March 11. Last Mercury square Mars is on May 11. This is a tight squeeze on the mind and on communications. Mercury square Saturn can represent a harsh and critical mind, but it also…
