Venus Retrograde 2018: The Path Will Have Burned Up Behind Us
This cycle will initiate many of us into an alchemical process of sorts — one in which the only way out is through, and the only way through is by reclaiming whatever we’ve deemed too raw, real, or inappropriate to love.
Mars Retrograde 2018 & Full Moon In Capricorn: A Summer Of Slower Doing
In a society of phone addicts, Mercury Retrograde can feel like the worst kind of punishment. In a society of productivity addicts, Mars Retrograde can feel even worse.
Uranus In Taurus 2018 – 2026: There’s Security In Letting Go
When you consider the active principle that animates these two, you get revolution on one hand, and continuity on the other. Taurus is a sign that wants everything to stay as is, and Uranus only ever wants to mess with the status quo.
The Resurrection & The Fool In The Heart Of Mercury Retrograde
The Fool is unburdened by the past. But maybe it’s just because he reckoned with it completely.
Saturn in Capricorn: Amateur Hour is Over (2017-2020)
Saturn is the paradigm of the hard-knock finishing school, and it’s a natural bedfellow of Capricorn, the industrious mountain goat that scales the peaks, no matter how steep or improbable.
Saturn in Sagittarius: Border Walls and Travel Bans
Saturn bringing his toolkit to the domain of Sagittarius has largely been about teaching us how to “hold our horses.” Sometimes, it’s necessary to keep our optimism in check, and that’s where the whole concept of “growth in moderation” comes in.
Jupiter in Scorpio: When Expansion Goes Underground
This year promises to bring an uncompromising stance in our quest to get to the truth. Jupiter’s moral eye is firmly trained on the findings of all this detective work, and it’s a little harder to get away with things when Scorpio gets involved.
Sun in Virgo: One Eyebrow, Permanently Raised
The keen eye of Virgo serves an extremely important purpose. Virgo, after all, is all about service, and it performs its work in a diligent and self-effacing manner, undoing the messy seams we stitched and replacing them with quality craftsmanship.
Enter: Leo Season, Stage Left
The shift from the navel-gazing of Cancer to the proud, confident strides of Leo is a lot like the dichotomy between impressionism and expressionism. We care less about the immediate perceptions we absorb from the energies around us, and more about the drama of our subjective experience.
Crossing The Tropic Of Cancer
Given all the meme-able, pedestrian talk about crybaby Cancers, it can be easy to forget that we’re essentially dealing with an alpha.
Sun in Gemini: Duality, Multiplicity, and All of the Things
It’s Gemini season, folks, which means we’ve officially moved beyond the simple pleasures of Eden in order to learn us some knowledge — however transgressive that may be.
Uranus in Aries: The Anarchy of the Self, Whatever that Means
On its own, the Uranus archetype takes the form of a restless change agent, but it operates in a manner that’s context-dependent: inspiring the higher mind in periods of relative calm, and lobbing bombs when pushed to the brink. Aries is a sign that only ever exists on the brink.
Sun in Taurus: The Season of Chill
If Taurus had a catchphrase, “stop and smell the flowers” would probably hit the mark, and Ferdinand the Bull would be the mascot.
Vernal Equinox/Sun in Aries
The zodiac sort of thinks we’ve got it backwards. March comes in like a mild, dreamy Pisces, and it ends aflame in an Aries battlecry.
Neptune in Pisces: Alternative Facts, Mainstreaming the Metaphysical
It’s not just you — woo-woo metaphysical stuff really has found its way further into the mainstream over the last couple of years.
Venus Retrograde 2017: A Rite of Passage is a 40-Day Affair
We could talk about Venus as the Goddess of Love, and we could talk about her upcoming retrograde period as a time of romantic reevaluation. But that wouldn’t even be half of the story.
