Ignore this bunk about a new 13th zodiac sign and that you are no longer the sign that you thought you were! Nothing has changed about your sign. There is no 13th zodiac sign. Let me explain: The 12 traditional signs of the zodiac are based on the Sun's relationship to the earth as we go throughout the solar year. The symbolisms of the 12 signs were developed based on the four elements -- Fire, Earth, Air and Water -- and the three modes of action -- Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable. Each of the … [Read more...]

The final Mercury Retrograde of 2010 stretches from Dec. 7-30, spanning the first six degrees of Capricorn and the last ten degrees of Sagittarius. The holidays are actually a pretty good time for Mercury Retrograde - we can use this energy to reflect on a particularly challenging and transformative year and concoct concrete, workable strategies for moving forward in 2011. The final eclipse of the year happens on Dec. 21 in the last degree of Gemini. With a lunar eclipse occurring within hours … [Read more...]

November just gets better as the month goes on. Both Venus and Jupiter - the traditional good fortune planets - return to direct motion on Nov. 18 and the month is largely devoid of the cosmic drama that has characterized so much of this year. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)...I see all of this introspection (or the no-holds-barred cage match) in your relationship resulting in super-positive changes starting around the Full Moon on the 21st. In the meantime, use this energy! It's time to let go of … [Read more...]

For the first time in months, I can look at the charts and not see a crazy cacophony of crisscrossing energy lines. After a chaotic summer and the forced slowdown of September's Mercury Retrograde, we can use October to patiently put our projects back in motion. Venus - the goddess of relationship, art, beauty and attraction - retrogrades on October 8 in her detriment sign of Scorpio, putting these matters up for review. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)...With Venus retrograde in your 2nd House, it's … [Read more...]

We start September with Mercury retrograde in his own sign of Virgo. Mercury returns to direct motion on Sept. 12, but wait until the 19th to sign contracts or make major purchases. This should be a strong retrograde, especially with a New Moon in Virgo on the 8th. Remember that these periods are intended to help us look within, learn from the past and make valuable course corrections. The end of the month recaptures some of the intensity of the summer with a powerful Aries Full Moon on the … [Read more...]

Don't buy into the fear programming, which continues to be intense this month! August begins with Mars, Venus and Saturn in Libra, ratcheting up the energy of the Cardinal T-Square that made late June and July so intense. We are being asked (commanded?) to relearn everything we thought we knew about relationships and find the truth expressed in the Hindu expression, namasté ("The light in me sees the light in you.") and the Mayan In Lak'ech ("I am another you."). Mercury retrogrades in Virgo in … [Read more...]

The solar eclipse in Cancer on July 11 marks a turning point after the incredible energy of June. Although the pace of change (personal and global) continues to be incredibly intense, the Cancer eclipse leaves us with a better idea of where we stand and what we need to do next. Let's use the second half of the month to ground our spiritual energy in the Earth experience. Mother Nature wants to help, but we have to make time and create mental space to tune in and listen. Cancer (June 21-July … [Read more...]

June is a month none of us will soon forget. Jupiter (expansion) and Uranus (innovation) enter Aries (new beginnings), electrifying the world horoscope and priming us for revolutionary action. The Capricorn Lunar Eclipse on June 26 further shakes things up, showing us that the changes we feel are indeed real. Gemini (May 21-June 20)...Yes, the world is going crazy. But all this change is extremely invigorating. You've got your mojo working again and your friends and colleagues are looking to … [Read more...]

Mercury returns to direct motion on May 11, setting the stage for a productive second half of the month. Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)...You could be feeling frustrated by the slow pace of progress this month, as Mercury continues to retrograde in your sign. Instead of bulling your way forward, why not go with the flow? The Universe is trying to help you let go of a major personality pattern (an egoic "need") that keeps you from the love and success you want. Gemini (May 21-June 20)...Just … [Read more...]

Mercury stations retrograde in the sign of Taurus on April 18; if it absolutely, positively has to be done, do it early in the month, because the last three weeks look a little less predictable. Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)...Stops and starts are the nature of the game this month. This actually suits your strengths - you're a sprinter, not a marathon man. So pick your spots and remember that all those little victories add up in the long run. Under the Aries New Moon mid-month, a friend or … [Read more...]

Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)...You've changed more than you ever could have imagined in the last few years, and yet, this month marks a new beginning that's every bit as powerful. With Jupiter in your sign, you've got good fortune on your side; know that the Universe is supporting you in allowing your Authentic Self to emerge even more fully. FYI: Set aside money for an unexpected bill at the end of the month. Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)...The biggest challenge in manifesting abundance is to hold … [Read more...]

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)...Your challenge this month, as you'll discover on or around the Aquarius New Moon on February 13, is to fully embrace your humanness. We are all wounded, but until you quit blaming yourself, you'll never fully tap your power. Money luck is suddenly at record levels, so please forget the past and give your dream another shot. Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)..."I'd rather be lucky than good," my grandmother used to gleefully shout. With both of the good fortune planets, … [Read more...]

January is intense, with two eclipses (12/31 and 1/15) in Cancer-Capricorn (security and status needs). Mercury (mind, communication) is retrograde in Capricorn until 1/15. Mars (ego, energy) is retrograde all month and Saturn (structure) is retrograde from 1/14 on. Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)...The tortoise and the hare is your metaphor for January. Much as it grates to not be moving full speed ahead, you can use the enforced down time to re-vision your career and realign yourself with your … [Read more...]
