For a change we have a dreamy summer solstice to celebrate! The Sun enters Cancer in a waxing Grand Trine with enduring Saturn in Scorpio and compassionate Neptune in Pisces. If you live in the northern latitudes you know how magical this time of year can be with long light days and exquisite evenings. There is a very good reason growing up in England inspired Shakespeare to write his classic play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” . . . which I love!

As Cancer’s ruler, the Moon is always [...]

For the most part this week starts off on a mellow note with Mercury in Cancer forming a Grand Trine with Saturn in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces on Monday.

The Saturn-Neptune trine will be in place most of June with Mercury, Venus and the Sun in Cancer completing the Grand Trine at different times. In July, Jupiter in Cancer steps up and takes its place.

Tuesday and Wednesday the Moon in earthy Taurus brings more earth to the sky, something [...]

Gemini’s duality makes its self felt on this New Moon in Gemini at 18° 01′ on 8 June 2013, 08:57 AM PDT. On one side is a cardinal T-Square with Mercury in Cancer locked in conflict with Uranus in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn; on the other is a marvelous Grand Trine composed of Venus in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces.

Words may be the weapon of choice on this lunation. Mercury in Cancer is just as capable of slicing and dicing opponents as Mercury in Scorpio and is [...]

Don’t beat yourself up if you want to enjoy life this week. The intensity of last week’s Uranus-Pluto square plus the residual of the third eclipse is still reverberating through the atmosphere and it’s OK to need a break from that . . . unless you have lots of Scorpio and thrive on it.

The Gemini Sun starts off the week making a grumpy inconjunct to Saturn in Scorpio. Saturn has a way of reminding Gemini to keep their facts straight. On the weekend the Sun gets the same treatment from Pluto [...]
