Full Moon in Aries, October 11, 2011

© Tamara Bauer | Dreamstime.com

During Libra season we are more aware of the need for balance and this Full Moon at 18° 24′ Aries on October 11, 2011 07:05 PM PDT brings more fire into the sky. The New Moon had a pot load of Libra planets and a preponderance of air, so this fiery Full Moon introduces a sense of proportion . . . something Libra loves!

The sober conjunction of Saturn in Libra and the Sun is not going to let anyone forget the importance of reciprocity and compromise, even though the Moon [...]

Full Moon in Taurus, November 21, 2010

The Full Moon at 29°18″ Taurus on November 21, 2010 10:27AM PST is the second of six Full Moons falling on the anaretic degree (the final being the Full Moon in Leo on February 18, 2011) suggesting to me we are in the midst of putting the finishing touches on issues related the houses in your chart this sequence of lunations fall in.

How easy we will get off depends on how the other planets aspect each of the lunations and this Full Moon in Taurus is being squared by the Neptune-Chiron conjunction [...]

Synastry Basics: Trines and Sextiles in Synastry

Waking up this morning to Venus back in Libra and an email from a reader asking about sextiles and trines in synastry, it seems like an excellent time to take a look at the difference between these two harmonious aspects in synastry vs. in the natal chart.

We find trines between signs in the same element and sextiles between friendly elements, i.e., air signs Gemini and Libra are trine and air sign Gemini is sextile fire sign Leo. In essence this makes a dialogue between those signs pleasant and the ability to find common ground easy.

In a natal [...]

It’s Scorpio Season Again

Tomorrow the Sun makes its ingress into Scorpio and those of us who live in the northern latitudes are keenly aware we are transitioning from the beauties of autumn, which Libra celebrates, to the starkness of winter. Scorpio relishes the shorter days, falling leaves beginning to decay, misty mornings and the deepening quiet as the natural world prepares for winter hibernation.

This year Scorpio season starts off with Mercury, Venus and Mars in Scorpio plus a nice sextile from the Sun to Pluto, Scorpio’s ruling planet – guaranteed to make this a very Scorpio ingress. If you enjoy [...]

The Power of Guilt & Saturn in Libra

Saturn has a traditional association with guilt, one of the gateway emotions leading to anger and resentment; and with Saturn in Libra we are in the process of learning more about how guilt can destroy once functional relationships.

Recently I was watching an episode in Sharpe’s Justice where he confronts his estranged wife over her withdrawing all his savings from a bank and spending the money on herself and her paramour. She attacks him viciously because she knows what she did was wrong but feels unable to admit that. In the end, she begs her lover to kill Sharpe [...]
