Jupiter in Aquarius: January 2009 - January 2010The planet |
Saturn opposite Uranus: Fall 2008 - Summer 2010Saturn opposite Uranus happens every 40 years or so. It is a culmination of a cycle that begins when Saturn conjoins Uranus. This year’s opposition is the culmination of the Saturn Uranus cycle that began in 1988. Last time we saw Saturn opposite Uranus was in the mid 1960s. Astrologers watch the movement of planets through the heavens, which form and release connections with each other in a cosmic square dance. We can’t change the energy, but we can become aware of it and dance with the beat rather than against it. Astrological awareness is not a scary prediction of good or bad events to come. It is simply another piece of information you can use to make sense of things. |
Saturn in Virgo - September 2007 to October 2009
Saturn is an outer, slow moving planet which stays an average of 2 1/2 years in each sign of the Zodiac. So this sign change marks a change in the vibe of the times. Saturn will exit Virgo and enter Libra in the fall of 2009, retrograde back into Virgo for one last, quick visit between April and July of 2010 before settling into Libra for the next 2+ years. |

Mars Retrograde (November 2007 - January 2008)Planets in retrograde lose steam, clarity and direction. So with Mars turning retrograde, we feel like we are paddling upstream. Things don’t go as fast as we want them to during Mars retrograde. The better use of this time is to wait, plan and accept compromises. |
Astrology and the BibleDoes God mind if we use astrology? Is astrology evil, or merely naughty? Will God smite us if we look into the future? Or does the Bible tell us that God actually wants us to pay attention to his signs in the sky? Is astrology a gift from God? I hope this brief article will serve as a jumping off place for folks to consider an alternative viewpoint. |
Saturn in Leo (July 2005-September 2007)The thing with Saturn is, we tend to “should” all over ourselves. Obsessing about what we should look like, what we should be doing, who we should impress, who we should be. And this gets in the way of our responding to our true heart’s desire. |
Comments from Venus Retrograde 2005-2006Venus was retrograde from December 24, 2005 to February 2, 2006. Here are some of the things people had to say about it, and questions that came up. |
Mercury RetrogradeMercury turns retrograde for three weeks, every four months. In general terms, this is Murphy’s Law time. Machines tend to go a bit screwy— cars, computers, phone, fax, printer, bulldozer, and the doctor’s machine that goes ping. |
Lots and lots of fire in the chartI have no fewer than eight fire signs in my chart yet people always term me as calm, easy-going, and sweet. Why am I not a more “fire-y” person? |
