February begins with Venus, the planet of Love, heading into Aries, the sign of the Warrior. This influence could be exciting, but is also volatile.

The New Year gets off to a bumpy start with Mercury still retrograde until January 8, 2017. But not so fast! We really won’t be out of the woods with Mercury until at least a few days after that.

Mercury Retrograde in December presents challenges with communication, new ventures, travel, and technology, but can be trying during the Holidays.

In November the Sun travels through the magnetic, mysterious, and magical Sign of Scorpio, eventually giving way to jovial Sagittarius on November 22, 2016.

Mars has entered the sign of Capricorn, which is good news for everyone wanting to make some headway with work and projects this October.

This month makes a dramatic entrance with an Annular Solar Eclipse at 9 degrees Virgo on September 1, 2016 with eclipses marking endings and beginnings.

The Wheel of Fortune is spinning, with Eclipses, Spring Equinox, and important planetary shifts in the offing. Pisces energy will highlight creativity, but make reality a bit slippery. Fiery planetary energy will push events forward towards the end of the month. Mars in Sagittarius brings an energetic thrust to our personal desires. It can also make some people a little pushy, too. Use this vibration to tackle projects that require action and enthusiasm. The Quarter Moon in Sagittarius on March 1, 2016 will make compelling aspects to many planets for a few days. But take note: this is a better time to follow through on projects that have already begun, not to start new ones. There’s a Total Solar Eclipse at 18 degrees Pisces on March 8, 2016. It’s also a Supermoon, which will ratchet up the energy even more. Eclipses tend to be rather “fateful” and this one will not disappoint. The Sun and Moon in Pisces will be in opposition

The Aquarius Full Moon on July 31 will stir things up as August begins.  And the winds of change will be blowing. The Leo Sun will keep things upbeat.  Saturn Direct on August 2 will help us to “get the lead out,” finalizing old business and starting new projects. Mercury, the planet of communication, enters Virgo on August 8, pushing our thoughts more to productivity. And things will be full steam ahead, for the most part. Except for Venus! Yep, Venus is Retrograde.  This will keep Goddess of love in this sunny sign of Leo all the way through October, which will have some benefits. The only problem is Venus Retrograde has a reputation for being sort of icky when it comes to love and money. In love, the Retro-Leo-Venus vibration could lead to drama, control issues and egotistical outbursts. New relationships that start in August could have some serious glitches. Ongoing relationships could even have a few bumpy patches. And

Full Moons, fireworks, and fun, that’s how July begins! There’s a Full Moon in Capricorn on July 1, 2015 that comes with a touch of wildness from an opposition to Mars and a touch of creativity with a trine to Neptune. It should be a good one! With Venus and Jupiter conjunct in Leo on Full Moon Day, it’s bound to be emotional, exciting and maybe a little bit over the top! Positive aspects roll on July 4 promoting good vibes for the holiday. And of course, Mercury Retrograde is long gone now and things are looking up! By July 6th things heat up a little with a powerful and transformative opposition between the Sun in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn. This could be a “combustible” day, with emotions running high and important situations reaching a “tipping point.” This transit may motivate some folks to make a big push for what they want, no matter what. Watch out for aggressive behavior

We start the month off with a Full Moon in fiery, exciting Sagittarius on June 2, 2015 at 9:19 AM Pacific Time. And it could be quite unpredictable on the day of the Full Moon, as she will oppose Mars in Gemini in the afternoon. This can make people extremely excitable, for better or worse. And with Mercury in Gemini still Retrograde, issues connected to communication, transportation and technology could become pretty messed up! This energy won’t last long but it could pack quite a punch. So enjoy the creative energy wave (particularly in the evening) but keep your wits about you, as disruptive events are very likely. Venus, the planet of love, beauty and art, enters Leo on June 6, 2015, ramping up romance and creativity in a BIG way. Of course, if you are a Leo it’s even better as you already have Jupiter in Leo bringing in all kinds of great opportunities. Must be nice! Still, there is

Mercury Retrograde in Gemini is the big deal this month. It's usually a time full of "hiccups" when it comes to plans, business, communication, travel, technology and machinery. But not every Mercury Retrograde cycle means major trouble for everyone. It can be a time to reconnect to issues or people from the past, which can lead to positive insights and problem solving. Nevertheless, the month of Maywill have some bumps in the road and the most likely areas of turbulence will be computers, communication and transportation. Keep this in mind and delay making big new purchases or plans that cannot be easily altered, if possible. We will enter the "Shadow" of Mercury Retrograde on May 4, 2015. This means the energy vibrations will subtly begin to shift right at the beginning of the month. Mercury will retrograde on May 18, 2015 at 6:49 pm Pacific Time. The "Storm" or more concentrated form of the energy will come in strong before that on

APRIL 2015 PLANETARY UPDATE This Eclipse will bring up lots of truth and game changes revolving around personal and diplomatic relations. April is going to be some kind of wild!!! The month begins with a Total Lunar Eclipse in Libra on April 4, 2015! Eclipses always pack a powerful punch and this will be a strong one, as tense aspects will be made to the still aggravated square between Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn. This Eclipse will bring up lots of truth and game changes revolving around personal and diplomatic relations. Watch the headlines, as there will be some dramatic events in world politics, to be sure. Many of you who know a little more about astrology might be wondering why the Uranus/Pluto square is still such a big deal, as this world-altering tension fest is finally starting to unwind since its 2012 debut. In the words of recently deceased astrologer Jeff Jawer, “the impact will continue for years, just

Feeling lucky? March 1st and 2nd are both particularly fortunate days. If you plan important activities and communications on these days you will have an edge, for sure! The Sun is in early Pisces now and so is Neptune, so you must also make sure not to let wishful thinking supplant reality as you move ahead into this interesting month. It’s also nice to know that Mercury is Direct, which will give us all a chance to fix up anything that went totally haywire during the last 6 weeks or so. There is a Full Moon at 14 degrees Virgo on Thursday, March 5, 2015. This one should be good for bringing the creative and the practical aspects of our lives into sync. But remember that darn Neptune factor and be cautious, as people may be a little unfocused in the earlier part of the day on March 5, which could lead to emotional misunderstandings and other kinds of Full Moon blowups. The BIG NEWS is the Total Solar Eclipse on Friday, March 20, 2015, which also happens to be Spring Equinox! Wow, that’s cool! This is a big deal, literally, as

With Valentine’s Day around the corner you’ll want to read this! As February begins, Mercury, the planet of communication, is still retrograde in the sign of Aquarius. Mercury goes “direct” right before the big “V-Day” on February 11, 2015. Cool, right? Maybe but the days immediately before and after Mercury changes direction can be quite chaotic. So, if you are planning some kind of wonderful surprise for your honey on the 14…make sure you’ve got everything right. We wouldn’t want a Mercury Retrograde Valentine Faux Pas.   Take care with the written or spoken word during the first half of February. Doublecheck appointments and correspondences. Troubleshoot issues with cars, computers and devices. Check bank statements and credit cards carefully.   After Valentine’s Day, the Mercury Retrograde vibe will be fading fast and things will be clearer. Save really big decisions and activities until mid-month and beyond if possible. Venus, the planet of Love and Abundance, goes into Pisces at the end of January and lines up with Neptune right at the beginning of February. This is a romantic, creative, spiritual and magical energy. The Full Moon in Leo is on February 3 which will ratchet up the energy up a few notches. You can get great clarity

October Sun Sign Profile: Libra (September 23-October 22)   It’s always fascinating to hear what people have to say about their own Sun Signs. “So, how do you like being a Capricorn?” I asked a gal that the other day and she answered confidently, “Well, I think it’s a pretty good fit for me!” Typical practical, strong, business-like Capricorn answer! But when I ask most Libras the results are quite different. It usually goes something like this: “Well, yeah, you know, harmony, balance, beauty, and stuff like that…right?” Almost always, they want me to tell them what I think. And there is a key to the Libra personality, they want to connect.   Don’t get me wrong, Libras have their own opinions and don’t mind expressing them. Air Signs like to talk. Libras aren’t as notoriously chatty as Gemini’s but they can come in a close second. Cordial, engaging, charming, and persuasive, Libras often shine in professions where tact, decorum, and diplomacy matter. Of

Much of 2014 has felt a bit like a run-away train for many of us. The Grand Cardinal Cross in late April was the focal point for an enormous conflagration of planetary forces and the “ripple effect” will continue to be felt for the rest of this year. Some of the energy from the Grand Cardinal Cross has been challenging and dramatic, on a personal level and on a global level. Events in the Ukraine and the Middle East bear a strong testament to the nature of these tense celestial influences. Further ramifications of things set in motion by this complex influence will be revealed more clearly by December 2014.   But as Summer ends and Fall beckons, the 2014 Year of the Horse slows down to a gentle canter. September will not be boring but will be a bit calmer and uneventful. Take advantage of this slight “lull” to gather your resources and prepare for the last quarter of the year.

Summer is at its height and it’s time for all those Leo birthdays. And remember, Leos expect a big party and lavish gifts! The emphasis this month is fire. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter will all be rolling through the Fire Sign Leo, which is exciting, dramatic, and potentially fun. Some of this energy will be bouncing off Uranus in Aries, sparking innovation and positive surprises. Take some time to be creative. This year has been demanding and August would be a good time to make a conscious choice to revel a bit.   Lucky Jupiter has just recently moved into Leo, which will be noticeable. Jupiter is the planet associated with “good fortune.”  Leo is associated with the Sun and the 5th House, which is also pretty darn fortunate. So, let the games begin! This month should be favorable for more risk taking, particularly if you have an emphasis in Fire Signs in your own birth chart.   If you are planning

The month begins with Mercury going direct (yippee) on July 1, 2014. Issues connected to communication, travel, computers, home remodels, machinery, cars, and new projects will be much more positive now. So, if you’ve been holding your breath about making new plans, you can exhale now!   As usual, I’d like to add a note of caution for July. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be a good astrologer. The Sun in Cancer will be opposing Pluto in Capricorn, and then squaring Uranus in Aries during the first days of the month. July 4 and July 8 will be key dates. This will “re-activate” the Grand Cardinal Cross, a controversial and volatile astrological influence that occurred in late April of 2014. Those of you who were on that wild roller-coaster ride around the last two weeks of April will remember it well, I imagine.   Without being all doom and gloomy, suffice it to say that the beginning of July may have some drama associated

Batten down the hatches, shore up your tech equipment, and get ready for things to spin sideways!  Mercury Retrograde in Cancer is coming in for a landing!  It happens on June 7 but you’ll already be seeing it in action by June 1. And it’s in effect for the whole month. What’s it all about? Mercury is the planet associated with communication, transportation, and, in this day and age, computers and technology. When it goes into its retrograde cycle, things are more likely to slip or glitch. This doesn’t have to be a big problem, but for some folks, it could be. It’s not the greatest energy for starting new things, like a new job, new living situation, or even a new girlfriend! It’s also a time when it’s harder to rely on technology, which is why some astrologers will tell you not to have elective surgery or buy new equipment during these periods. Schedules get messed up, stuff breaks
