The tropical charts above represent the ‘curriculum for our weekend at the Gurukulam. Regardless of which system/zodiac you use, or what philosophy/tradition you base your interpretations on, the actual movements of the planets are regular and predictable. On Friday night there’s a exact conjunction of the Moon with Neptune in Pisces. The general public/collective body is in need of spiritual support. In these last hours of…

So, we’re in the middle of two eclipses and five planets are retrograde. You don’t really need to know much about astrology to get a sense of the epic time cycle we’re living in. It really doesn’t matter where you look there’s change, upheaval, and fluctuating conditions mostly everywhere. You can try to block it out using whatever methods/medicine/magic you have at your disposal. But relief is temporary. There really…

….feeling the need to re-post this today. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shantihi. Within the city of Brahman, which is the body, there is the heart, and within the heart there is a little house. This house has the shape of a lotus, and within it dwells that which is to be sought after, inquired about, and realized. Even so large as the universe outside, is the universe within…

Where were you in the Fall of 1982? What was going on in your personal life? What was going on in the world? How old were you? In November of that year Pluto and Saturn made a conjunction at 27 Libra. Where is 27 Libra in your natal chart? Is anything in your natal chart at 27 degrees? Look at the cusps and angles too. This is a good place…

When an outer planet (Uranus/Neptune/Pluto) moves into a new sign or a new house it can be a momentous occasion and often manifests in some kind of (symbolic) event (major or minor) to announce the ‘new’ energy pattern that is about to unfold. Of course, leaving behind the old sign, or old house also has it’s own significant events that sum up the lesson(s) of what’s being left behind, for…

Chiron enters Aries. This is a big deal. The asteroid named Chiron was discovered in the mid-seventies and I believe he was in Aries at that same time. Some senior astrologers out there might remember quite well what was happening during that time. It was similar to now in ways we are about to find out as Chiron returned to Aries on Feb 19. A Chiron Return…

I was running late to class and hobbling still on my sore ankle. I’ll remember Mars turning retrograde at 4 degrees Aquarius (ruling zodiac sign of ankles) for a long time! As soon as I got to the top stair and turned the corner to the studio I saw it, a large white shopping bag with a big pink post-it to Ida…and a heart drawn with red markers. It was…

When an outer planet (Uranus/Neptune/Pluto) first enters a new sign or a new house it can be a momentous occasion and often manifests in some kind of (symbolic) event (major or minor) to announce the ‘new’ energy pattern that is about to unfold.

If Saturn were nearer to us than it is it might look like this. Forward progress begins again….most especially after mercury goes direct early September. Happy Birthday Virgo! Om Shanti, Om ps. I don’t remember where I got that photo. I’ll credit you if you let me know who you are.

“It isn’t the mountain ahead that wears you out: it’s the grain of sand in your shoe.” ~Robert W. Service Recently at our Salon for Astrological Discourse we discussed the mythological and astrological Eris, a dwarf planet discovered in 2005. It’s always worth the time to note the events that are going on (around the planet) at the time of astronomical discoveries. There’s an inherent connection (as above, so…
