Pluto, the planet that describes the generation gap best, has just returned to Capricorn for the absolute, final pass before rooting down in Aquarius for the next 20+ years. And, the title above says it all. May all beings live in peace. Namaste

You might want to read this first.….? A week ago the moon passed thru the Aries portion of the zodiac where she tackled the complications that arise from Jupiter, Chiron, Mars, and Eris in Aries as well. She’s calmer now in Taurus. But! Mars is pretty fiery & hot and so close now to Eris that I fear we’re about to see a lot of firewords until July 6…
The name Chiron comes from the word chiros. Astrologically, Chiron represents our essential wound and provides much information on how/when to heal from it. The erratic orbit of the asteroid symbolizes weaving together the traditional and the alternative to create hybrid paths towards healing what hurts us. The glyph, which looks like a key, symbolizes what becomes possible when we unlock/unblock our internal/unconscious wounds. Additional keywords for Chiron are…
Remember Eris? I like checking in on her periodically. She’s still in Aries, and will remain there until 2044-ish. The transition from Aries to Taurus takes time to settle in, maybe like moving from one state-of-being to a different one. She’s an irritant, and a trouble-maker. She likes to stir up rivalries, especially between siblings or cousins. She sows misinformation, disinformation, and outright lies. Her finger points at you. And,…
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) 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. Of course, leaving behind the old sign, or old house also has its own significant events that sum up the lesson(s) of what’s being left behind,…
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…
Most astrologers focus on time. The questions that begin with ‘when’ are innumerable. The ability to analyze the present moment, the past and the future using a natal horoscope reveals larger patterns that would otherwise go unnoticed. In 1986 -ish I attended a weekend workshop in CT taught by Jim Lewis, the pioneer of what is today called Astro*Carto*Graphy. (Where you were born holds equal weight with when you were…
The Salon for Astrological Discourse will meet again this month. Here’s the chart.… You don’t have to be an accomplished astrologer to see the stellium in Pisces. Soon, Mars and Venus will move into Aries and the energy will change, again, dramatically. But for now, Chiron sits between them, and I see an opportunity here. Regardless of what side of the political, social, economic, educational, or religious fence you’re on,…
