Cancer Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, December 31, 2009

The Full Moon on December 31, 2009, is momentous. At 10° 14′ Cancer, it’s the first of two eclipses in the Cancer-Capricorn series that began last July. It’s also the second Full Moon this month, making it a rare “blue moon.”

The T-square formed by the Moon in Cancer opposite the Sun, Venus, and Pluto in Capricorn, all square Saturn in Libra, speaks to me of the need for civility. Coincidentally, our local newspaper had a very good editorial on Christmas Day on sharing the gift of civility. It is important to note that as long as Saturn is in [...]

Saturday Archives: Sex, Lies and Biology from a Scorpio Perspective

Scorpio

It must be the t-square with Pluto in Capricorn, Mars in Cancer and Mercury in Libra that drew me to this particular article from my Archives. Enjoy!

To be blunt – we’ve been had. Humanity as a whole is born hard-wired to reproduce and once we hit puberty, we’re at the mercy of changes in blood and brain chemistry unless we learn to pay attention to what the heck is going on. And you better believe that this has not escaped the notice of the Powers That Be all through out history.

One way or another, often [...]

Happy Solstice!

The summer solstice is here once more and long light evenings are the rule here in the northern latitudes. Saturn has moved off my Venus and right now the Sun is trine my Sun – always good for a lift in mood.

It is worth noting Pluto is back in Sagittarius within a degree of where he was on the winter solstice and my guess is this is an indicator we’ll be given a chance to review our changes once more. However today we pause in a place of transition and it feels a little like the universe [...]

Summer Solstice June 20, 2008

mid-summer evening light

The summer solstice is the moment when the Sun enters Cancer. It’s the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere; the longest night in the Southern Hemisphere.

A chart cast for this moment gives us a sense of the tone for the next six months. Because Cancer is ruled by the Moon, the aspects to the Moon in the solstice chart are important. Here, we find the Moon in late Capricorn widely conjunct Jupiter. The Moon is also part of a Yod with Mars in Leo at the apex. Uranus in Pisces is sextile the Moon [...]

Pluto Returning to Sagittarius

This weekend Pluto will move back into Sagittarius for the last time in more years than I care to think about. He will only move a couple of degrees before stationing direct once more in early September to return to Capricorn by the end of November. As many other astrologers are saying, this is an opportunity to review concerns related to the area of our charts Pluto is transiting and do some “housecleaning” in general.

Pluto is always pushing to remove the old to make way for the possibility of re-birth and regeneration and if we don’t tackle [...]
