The phrase "planetary cycle" refers to a planet's relationship to itself as it moves from its location at the time of your birth around the entire chart, returning to its original birth placement as it moves across the sky. When comparing transiting planet A to natal planet B, such as transiting Jupiter conjuncting natal Mars, any two people will experience that aspect at completely different times in their life, perhaps one at 3 years old and another at 8 years old. One person may experience Pluto conjunct the Sun at age 21 where another person might never experience that aspect. It all depends on where the differing planets started to begin with. But a planetary cycle, comparing moving ...
The rising of the new day's dawn is not in wait for the 2012 enlightenment clock to strike. And while it is incredible that there is any debate at all regarding the fact that the clean-up crews in the Gulf of Mexico will suffer life-threatening consequences without respirators and safety suits (remember what happened to the Exxon Valdez crews of 1989), most hold little doubt that a more insistent wake-up alarm has already sounded. The astrology of 2010 underscores the fact that it is a pivotal year for the evolution of the collective consciousness. In fact, we have been on the clock since Pluto first entered Capricorn in 2008. Noting that Pluto corresponds to the evolution of the soul ...
Opposites attract—wouldn't you agree? In millenia past, the earliest stargazers apportioned each of the four elements to a particular gender. So fire and air are masculine; earth and water are feminine. But that means that the oppositions (which are fire and air and earth and water) are both the same gender. This adds an element of harmony and compatibility for gay couples, who share a gender. For heterosexual pairings, this means one party will have a Sun sign opposite their gender. For example, Cancer women can be ultra-feminine, having an impulse to nurture and grow. Cancer males can have the sensitivity without having any way to remove themselves from the fray, emotionally ...
Planting the seeds of the new year comes easily this Samhain, as a waning Moon in the heart-centered sign of Leo draws our attention inward. Mercury in Scorpio and Venus retrograde (also in Scorpio), add an even greater intensity to relationships now, reminding us to pay attention to the past before we move forward into the future. On October 28, the warrior planet Mars transited into the buoyant fire sign of Sagittarius, bringing an optimistic and hopeful energy to the Samhain planetary landscape. Now we can begin to dream in the dark, nurturing our plans and wishes for the future. Jupiter’s ongoing conjunction to Uranus in Pisces adds support to this Sagittarius influence, ...
