"Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again"
We begin this week with a potent, emotional watershed as Mercury trines Chiron, which is stationing direct in Pisces. Optimism, trust, and clarity begin to emerge under the waxing Moon following last Thursday's New Moon (11:20 PM PDT 15° Sagittarius). Mercury arrives back in Sagittarius by Wednesday, which increases the momentum of generous optimism, as it heads towards [...]

It Can't Happen Here
The importance of the lessons of the last few months become clear this week under the Sagittarius New Moon (December 6th, 11:20 PM PST 15° Sagittarius) which squares the Mars-Neptune conjunction in Pisces. We need to have a deep understanding of our need for other people even though we may be hypnotized by our grand visions, Big Ideas, or optimistic idealism. We need to find a way to make the necessary connections to others, build alliances and stay open and willing to listen to the grand vision that others are seeing. Venus returns to Scorpio this week, which [...]
"Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny."
This week's atmosphere may seem quite chaotic at times, even though many things seem to fall into place spontaneously under this week's mutable squares. Our minds are a swirl of insights and ideas with very few opportunities to focus directly on the tasks at hand. Nonetheless, feelings of responsibility are quite strong and, even though there is a strong sense of independent idealism, we are constantly reminded that we need to consider the needs of others. Ultimately, we'll do better by listening than trying to talk above the fray. Nonetheless [...]
"Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more"

Henry V
The remarkable emphasis on cusp influences that we have seen over the past few weeks culminates on Thursday with a Gemini-Sagittarius Full Moon (9:39 PM PST 0° Gemini/Sagittarius) on the Taurus-Gemini cusp. We are challenged to build bridges of understanding and make connections between widely differing perspectives. As the Sun moves across the Scorpio-Sagittarius cusp, we feel heightened urgency to open up about all of our Big Ideas but words don't seem to fully convey what we're trying to describe. With Mars in Pisces, heading towards a conjunction with Neptune, we need strong intuition to navigate. The Sagittarius-Pisces angle can [...]
"Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through"
The light from last week's New Moon (8:01 AM PST 15° Scorpio) begins to illuminate remarkable changes this week. Cusps continue to be significant. Jupiter is on the Scorpio/Sagittarius cusp at the beginning of the week and, by week's end, Mars crosses the Aquarius/Pisces cusp. Also, Ceres leaves its mission of organization in Libra, entering Scorpio, where it will help us to make the most of whatever tools are at our disposal. Venus stations to go direct but passes the baton of review to Mercury as it stations to go retrograde on Friday. As our moods and outlook begin to [...]
