Transformative Visions
The year of the Earth Dog begins, with a Solar Eclipse on February 15th, at the new moon in Aquarius, (not visible in USA). We transition out of the year of the fiery Rooster into the more practical and industrious Earth Dog year. The difference is striking. Integrity and honesty are a focus in the year […]
The Chinese year of the Earth Dog begins on February 15th as the Solar Eclipse, the New Moon in Aquarius, ushers in the Earth Dog. Notice the shift from last year’s fiery Rooster. Notice how dramatic and showy 2017 was, with Trump in office, tweeting and continually calling attention to himself. […]
The year begins with a Supermoon, a striking opening to 2018. The Supermoon is closer to the Earth in its path around our planet than is often the case. This full Moon dawns the eastern horizon at sundown, on the 1st, bringing all of us once again to the […]
Saturn moves into Capricorn on December 19th. As Saturn enters wintry Capricorn, these four qualities are worth remembering (and if you have Saturn in Capricorn in your birth chart). The first quality is contraction and focus, going down deep inside to find your own voice and inner knowing. If we stay outwardly busy, the contraction […]
Jupiter, the planet of increase, having entered powerful Scorpio, is revealing the hidden, and probing the depths.

For Sun and Rising Signs There are times when the world opens up to us and demonstrates to us that we live in a much greater reality of imaginative creativity, love, tremendous connectedness, and a shared heart than we know. It takes us beyond our limitation of perception within which we box ourselves in this […]
Astrology opens the door to the mystery in which we live, to the organizational patterns and living intelligence in which we are in collaboration. When we begin to imagine the event of the Solar Eclipse coming on August 21st, laying its shadowy pathway across our country starting at 10:10 am, in the Pacific coast, we […]
In pondering these times a version of the creation story comes to mind. The story goes like this. Ten vessels were created to hold and channel the downpour of the divine life force and light which would create the world. The vessels were not strong enough to contain the life force and they shattered. The […]
With Mars traveling through Gemini we experience a battle between the light and the dark, between consciousness and trajectory toward inclusiveness versus splintering into shards of polarized opposition of forces. As Mars opposed Saturn at the end of May, tension built, seeking resolution. The collective wound is up. We are pitched through the abundant […]
