"So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time"

There's plenty of chaotic unpredictability left in this week's atmosphere following last week's Pisces Eclipse Full Moon (9:18 PM PDT 4° Pisces/Virgo), which was in a tight square to Uranus in Gemini. Nonetheless, there is also plenty of support to productively engage with the amped up energy through enhanced intellectual capacity and the clever integration of enthusiasm and self-control.

Adding to the intensity of the Jupiter-Saturn trine is [...]

However, this week begins with a nagging reminder of the impatient irritability of last week's Mars-Venus square, followed up by Chiron's retrograde station on the Taurus/Aries Cusp. Chiron will return to Aries for a 'brief stint' from September 18th until April 14th, 2027. The shift in our perspective brings a reminder of [...]
