ASTROLOGY OF NOW

This square between Mars and Eris extends beyond those age-old fights resurfacing; it’s about that struggle with clutching to our comforts and security blanket while still wanting to tear down whatever confines and stagnates true evolutionary progress...

As a rare special offering, I’m sharing my latest Cosmic Bus episode, recorded live for members on Sunday, with all my friends and followers so all can tap into the raw insights and energies in play...

Here, we see how when one individual is targeted or cast aside, the ripple effect threatens us all. Unchecked forces consume everything—even the very foundations we thought they’d protect.

when men avoid facing their own wounds, they carry a hidden weapon. Unexamined pain is volatile; it spills out into the world, often hitting the people closest to them...

As the Virgo Sun faces off with Neptune in Pisces for the final time, after years of back-and-forth, it’s like the closing lines of a messy breakup letter...

"Confession is not betrayal. What you say or do doesn't matter; only feelings matter. If they could make me stop loving you-that would be the real betrayal." ~Orwell, 1984

Feeling constantly overburdened by demands? The root of this feeling isn't that others expect way too much—it’s your own insecurity convincing you that you owe everyone something...

The North Node Lunar Eclipse in Pisces hits like a tidal wave, exposing deep-rooted emotional baggage you thought you’d buried...

There’s a sharp undercurrent of criticism, frustration, and restraint that seeps into nearly every dealing. This is a wake-up call to the sensitivity of each others' boundaries...

The ultimate test of Pluto transits, especially when it stations at such a significant degree, is not the descent itself but the ability to maintain integrity in the face of fateful circumstances...

As Pluto retrogrades to the anaretic degree of Capricorn on September 2, the full intensity of its transformative power comes to a head.

As linear time begins to collapse, many of us are starting to observe a higher reality, that there is no separation. Everything is one.

Did I hear you say you want it darker? We’re at the crunch of another gear shift—Pluto returning to Capricorn, Uranus on the cusp of retrograde, and the last New Moon before the October eclipses...

Try not to pick at it… Dealing with Venus in the difficult placement of Virgo …

As Pluto retrogrades back into Saturn-ruled Capricorn in a few days, it will occupy the critical final degree for the next ten weeks, symbolically driving the last nail into the coffin of our enduring struggles with patriarchal power and authoritarianism...

It's been a brutal week, no denying that. If you're feeling like the ground beneath you is still a bit unstable, brace yourself—there’s more to come...

It's time to drop the phony heroics and big talk because things are about to get serious. If you’re still tangled in Leo’s chest-pounding drama, childish games, and bluster, be ready—someone’s about to call your bluff...

Each of us inhabits our own unique universe—a private world so distinct from those inhabited and experienced by all other souls that it's both a problem and a solution to the greater spiritual question...

“They gave Pandora a box. Prometheus begged her not to open it. She opened it. Every evil to which human flesh is heir came out of it. The last thing to come out of the box was hope. It flew away.”~KV

Remember, we are already in unchartered waters, it's getting choppy, and we're heading towards a way out. The experience is totally new, and everyone is invited. Don't get sucked into the cosmic sinkhole.

With the full moon approaching, the next couple of weeks are going to be off the charts—domestically and internationally. Some of us can't ignore the signs any longer. Something massive is about to go down, and you know it...

“When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures bristling with prejudice and motivated by pride and vanity.” ~Dale Carnegie

MERCURY slows to retrograde, and the YOD formed to NEPTUNE/PLUTO reveals the acute degree to which our mental capacity to make out WTF is going on is indeed under considerable siege.

SUN enters Leo, and we jump out of the frying pan and into the fire...

Every Full Moon beckons the end of something. Under this unyielding second serve, the time has come to confront harsh truths and fortify your sanctuary amidst the chaos.

Tune in to the newest episode of Cosmic Bus, where we look at the natal charts of Donald Trump, Thomas Matthew Crooks, the alignments that led to the moment of crisis, and the implications for the upcoming U.S. election.

It’s worth noting that the few days around when Mercury stations (either to go retrograde or direct) could be particularly chaotic or intense- a period we bigshot astrologer types refer to as the “storm phase.”

Eclipse over. Job done. Yeah, now deal with the ick of this existential loneliness...
