A Letter from Mars Conjunct the South Node (This Weekend)
Routines, health, homework, housework, purity. These are some Virgo keywords. There are many Virgo keywords. Sometimes, but not always, when I talk to the Virgo people, they ask about health. They ask about work. But what’s underneath it all is purity, that which is,…
Boom-Splash: Jupiter Enters Cancer
Catching up: One more. We’ve got one more big change on the way: Uranus entering Gemini on July 7th. All my recent blogs posts have mostly been lists of slow moving planets in new signs. Hard to wrap my mind around it all. I’ve been blogging since 2011. Everything is…
Saturn in Aries: Delay Gratification
I realize I haven’t blogged in FOREVER and I’m sick of my writing voice. I’m working on book edits. Maybe being here, with you, blogging, will free me up, will make me feel free. Here’s what I know: the less social media you consume the better…
The Passionate Flow of Neptune in Aries
I know I can’t speak for everyone for all time but I feel we FORGET Neptune which makes sense because the first thing I ever learned about Neptune was what my astrology teacher told us all those years ago: illusion, delusion, confusion. And there might have been…
Housekeeping: Pluto Transit to the Sixth House
Pluto in Aquarius is a brand new transit for us all. We’re just getting to know it, like a new friend. Can you make it nice and light like that? I went for a walk the other day with a new friend by the water and in the wind. Pluto is your friend. Pluto is your…
Neptune Transit to the Eight House: For My Cousin Sue
It’s uncanny. It’s all uncanny. A morning like any other. School’s out for two weeks and I decided to do an early morning load of laundry. Paid a few bills. Had coffee, breakfast. Got word that I had an open spot for a new (or returning) Tarot…
That You’re Ready For Your Spiritual Transformation
If you look up Neptune transit to the Eighth House you tend to see the same things over and over. Internet searches have their limits of course. Neptune, however, has none. Boundaries dissolve. Here I am likely beginning a new career path (maybe, maybe) a very Eighth…
Saturn Opposite Moon: OVER HERE
I woke up with a dream about getting stuck in an elevator and the odd thing was that I woke up in a good mood. When is an anxiety dream not an anxiety dream? We were rescued by dream’s end and I wasn’t stuck in the elevator alone. I’m still thinking…
Helpful/Helpless: Full Moon Eclipse in Virgo
It’s been an intense few weeks. It feels like a thousand lifetimes and at the same time it feels like things are finally settling down. What was that shamanic initiation that had to happen and why? An intense whirlwind, about a month in duration, a process of…
Advice for March: Retrogrades, Eclipses, Neptune in Aries
It’s all so unprecedented. It’s hard to give advice. I say one thing and then the opposite becomes true and then it flips again. What does this mean? It means… if you find yourself at a loss you’re not doing it wrong. You will figure it out….
The Exhaustion of the Moment: Eclipse Season
I woke up at 3am with a SPLITTING HEADACHE, a stabbing pain. A friend of mine reminded me that Mars is currently on my Sun (and I have this aspect in my natal). I was saying to her: SATURN IS OPPOSING MY MOON and blah blah blah Pluto blah blah blah. But she’s…
North Node in Pisces & the Great Dissolve
Today was the day I discovered the true meaning of the NORTH NODE IN PISCES (all caps on purpose) which is also my North Node. We are having our Nodal Return. It’s time for us to finally understand the lessons and the techniques and whatever it is we need to know…
Falling Through Space: Full Moon Eclipse in Virgo (March 14)
You’re gonna hear people say their structures are falling, they’re collapsing, falling though space, an atomization of the spirit, the self. I’m thinking about a paper by psychoanalyst Esther Bick. This line: “This mother too has lost her spacesuit.” This is what the…
Infinite Advice for Jupiter in Gemini
That feeling that Jupiter is the cosmic Santa Claus. I remember learning in astrology class many years ago that “Jupiter expands what it touches,” and this was usually presented in a good light although my teacher was quick to say that “too much of a…
Full Moon in Leo: Left Field (February 12th)
What is it that will come out of left field? This Full Moon is square Uranus. Who will surprise you? Who will be surprised? Questions without answers. Yet. It’s *just* a Full Moon. It’s not the beginning or the end. But Eclipse Season is coming. Mercury retrograde is…
Uranus Gone Direct: We are not Machines. Yet.
So I guess I will keep blogging. I should keep blogging. Maintaining a blog is the old world. Today I was thinking about Facebook. I was thinking about the older social media platforms used to be ways of connection for me. I found friends and clients. Now it’s…
When a Hard Transit Ends: So Now What?
People like to read about the hard transits. I always wrote about them. I don’t think I ever got over Uranus and Pluto squaring/opposing my Sun at the same time. My life IS the shape of the Uranus Pluto square from all those years ago. So now what? Pluto is…
Weird Craving: Life from Mars Retrograde in Cancer
Ain’t nothing wrong with a can of sugar-free whipped cream. It might be exactly what you need (talking to the sugar-free crowd here). Mars is (retrograde) in Cancer after all. You will submit to your weird craving. Today I found myself in a familiar spot. I remember a…
Dreams of Dismemberment: Becoming Sedna
Let us not forget about Sedna, currently at zero Gemini. Is she like the Fool card from the Tarot, eternally zero? Slow mover Sedna. Yesterday I was writing on the Substack that my time at the institute has been like a dream of dismemberment and how dreams of…
My Sweet Lord: North Node in Pisces is Here
Ah my current obsession. THE NORTH NODE IS NOW IN PISCES. I feel like I can really let down my hair here, on the “old blog.” As opposed to the new blog or the Substack or even the newsletter or whatever but HERE on MOON PLUTO ASTROLOGY I can say whatever, whenever. I…
Welcome North Node in Pisces!
From the new newsletter I haven’t been blogging much these days. In terms of “content” I’ve been trying to grow my YouTube channel (including Tarot of the Day videos), but this morning I woke up thinking I needed to blog about the North Node…
