The Astrologer Diaries
From my brain to yours: insight, support, advice, and maybe even a little wit and wisdom to help us through these “interesting times” and remind us there’s so much more to life than meets the eye—or any of the five senses!
Chaos or Creation?
This week, Jupiter aligns with Pluto for the third and final time this year. Jupiter is one of the planetary good guys—we call him the “great benefic” because he brings luck, expansion, optimism, hope, wealth, freedom, honesty and integrity to whatever he gets involved in….
Pisces Full Moon: Dreamtime!
While many of us were sleeping, the year's only Pisces Full Moon dazzled the slumbering night sky and cast her mystical spell over all us. I wonder if any of you had the same dream I did.
What does July's SECOND Cancer new moon signify?
Monday is an auspicious day as it hosts a rare second consecutive new moon in the moon’s home sign of Cancer.
Retrogrades, Eclipses and...What Else?!
Congratulations for making it through the summer eclipses—well, through those preliminary “initiations,” anyway.

As if we needed any more excitement, eclipse season is upon us. The first in this spring/summer series, a full moon lunar eclipse that landed in Sagittarius on June 5 may have brought some hidden aspects of your life into the light.
New Moon in Aquarius!
If you’ve been wondering what your next big move will be, or whether to do that thing in earnest, or to stop doing that other thing altogether… welcome to What’s Next! Friday, January 24, is a powerful day, especially for people who feel stuck around a certain theme. (And hey, who doesn’t?)
What Happens When Transformer Pluto Ends Its Retrograde?
Be honest: You’ve felt something coming on for a little while now, even if you couldn’t name it or point to where you’re feeling it. You might have experienced a similar, but milder, sensation in mid-August or mid-September
Solstice = Soul's Tryst!
This Friday, June 21, the Sun reaches its annual zenith just before noon (ET) as it moves into the zodiac sign of Cancer, marking the longest day of sunlight of the year (in the northern hemisphere) as it kicks off summer and is celebrated around the globe as the summer solstice.
New Moon in Gemini
The moon has always captivated human imagination because it’s the brightest and largest object in our night sky. Being so close to the Earth, it affects gravity, tides and inner stirrings.
Mercury Retrograde, Plus Uranus' Big Move
A big week lies ahead: Are you already feeling it? On Tuesday, March 5 (at 1:18pm ET) our good friend Mercury spins into retrograde motion for the next three weeks.
Astrology 101: Know Your Sun Sign
Astrology is an ancient esoteric system for understanding human behavior. While modern systems work with 10 planets, a few asteroids and mathematically derived “points,” the Sun is the most vital.

Astrology is a wonderful tool for understanding our love needs, what we seek in a partner plus the greatest gifts we have to offer. But contrary to popular belief, we aren’t compatible with everyone whose Sun sign is in the same element

Dear Fellow Cosmonauts, The year’s not even 100 hours old, and already massive changes are speeding down the pike. And we’re not even talking about the Beltway!
Forecasts vs. Free Will
It’s a wonderful gift to be able to assist clients during challenging times, offering them a larger context to their situation, faith that “this too shall pass” and of course a peek at what’s coming down the pike.
What a Week This One Promises to Be!
Dear Fellow Finger-Crossing Nail-Biters, Holy shitake mushroom! This week’s astrological forecast is nothing short of mind-blowing! Four major planetary moves are afoot, and all are exerting cosmic influence on the week’s events. Did I hear something about an election…?
Retrograde Planets, a Lunar Eclipse—and You (Oh My?)
Dear Fellow Hair-Tearer-Outers, For those of you keeping score at home, we’ve got six, count ‘em six, planets spinning retrograde in the sky at this very moment. Okay, planets don’t technically move in reverse. But “retrograde” refers to the fact that.
Whoa! Uranus enters Taurus..
Dear Astro Friends and Embracers of Transformation, Actually, I’m taking a bit of a liberty with that salutation. Many of us, even those of us who profess to welcome change, live in utter dread of it. Well, we welcome certain changes: If we’re not happy with our jobs or income, or our partner or of not having a partner, or some aspect of our home or appearance…
