Sagittarius season, beginning November 21, promises big changes. Sagittarius, the great Centaur, does not aim its arrows at small, easy game. Ruled by expansive Jupiter, fiery Sagittarius dreams in broad strokes and big pictures. We have the opportunity now to decide what kind of life we want to have moving forward. We can talk all day about how we are sick of fear culture and factory food while we scroll through our fake news, but if we cannot envision a better dream, then we are doomed to continue the old ways. Instead of longing for “normal”, can you envision of…

On October 22 the Sun moves into Scorpio, the most notorious and powerful sign of the Zodiac. Scorpio is the fixed water sign on the feminine polarity. Fixed signs embody the essence of each of the four seasons. Scorpio season is the heart of Fall, the climax in the drama of the year, the season of death and new life. Scorpio, sign of magic and transformation, rules karma, the shadow, secrets. It is our deepest creative urge. It rips the leaves from the trees, the skin from the bones, and the bars from the cages.

This season marks the moment…

Full disclosure: These were part of my Changing Suns newsletter that I forgot to post on Medium the past few months…but as I now recommit to sharing my writing, I wanted to include them for anyone who was interested in learning about astrology and follows my henceforth regular monthly astro-updates. If you want more information about Cancer, Leo and Virgo season 2020 get in touch and I’d be happy to send it along.

If you read our last letter, you know that the twelve signs of the zodiac are divided into four elements. They are also divided into three…

LIBRA SEASON

The Fall Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere occurs on September 22, ushering the Sun into Libra and the earth into a moment of balance between Light and Dark. Libra, ruled by Venus, understands perhaps better than all other signs how we are hard-wired for connection and belonging. Our deepest selves know intuitively that if we are to survive the long, cold nights, we must come together and keep each other warm. Our bodies know that to be alone is to die. But this truth can create cognitive dissonance in a culture of individualism. As Anne Lamott says, all…

GEMINI SEASON BEGINS on May 20, 2020. The coronavirus crisis continues, coloring our lives with disengagement and uncertainty. The sun has been in Taurus for the last month, where it readily embraces a slow and steady pace. Now, Gemini is ready to shift us into high gear….but not so fast this time.

Retrogrades dominate the current astrological weather. Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto are all retrograde as we begin the season, and Mercury will station retrograde before it is through. Retrogrades ask us to review and reflect before moving forward (scroll down for more info on retrogrades).

I’m a big fan of Joseph Campbell, a scholar most famous for illuminating the wisdom of the “Hero’s Journey”. While wandering aimlessly and earnestly through the forests of pain in my own life, I discovered his work just when I feared I would be lost forever. All the most important stories I had been told, including the story I had been living out, had crashed down around me and Truth seemed about as real as Santa Claus. I could tell you a long story about the lies, mistakes, and heartbreaks that led to this particular juncture. But you are human…
