Cosmic Candor

Everybody hop on the mood swing! The Moon, which rules our emotions, moved into balanced Libra last night at 9:45 p.m. (PT), but it’s making so many crazy aspects today that our emotions will be pulled in many different directions. Typically, the Libra Moon gives us a sense of balance, peace and harmony. But, er,…

Hey, smartypants! Yes, I’m talking to you — all of you. That’s because we get another shot at brilliance tomorrow with Mercury trine Uranus on Saturday, August 18. This is the third time this summer we’ve been under the influence of this genius aspect, which also lined up on July 4 and July 25. If…

It’s only Thursday, but I’ve got my eye on the weekend. Yesterday I told you how excited I am for Friday’s New Moon in Leo and the boost of creative energy it will bring. But I didn’t mention the positive affect it will have on our relationships this weekend. Love is hard, but somehow a…

I must admit, I’ve got a little bit of writer’s block today. I’m just back from a long backpacking trip in which I went “off the grid,” and it’s a bit of an adjustment getting back into the swing of daily life. I’m not certain I remember how to type, or that I even want…

Wow, tomorrow is going to be off the cosmic charts! Wednesday, August 15 is filled with all kinds of conflicting planetary energy that will seriously affect personal relationships. We might need to call in some professional help! On the one hand, Venus is in Cancer, which is a very loving transit. Yet, tomorrow Venus crashes…

We’re coming off a fun, flirty Moon-in-Gemini weekend, and I hope you enjoyed it while it lasted. I say that because the Moon moves into moody Cancer today, which always intensifies emotions and can make many of us feel overly sensitive and insecure.  (Man, I sure don’t need any more help with THAT.) The Moon…

Ok, I have a confession to make: I’m writing and programming this blog post in advance because I’m on vacation as you’re reading this. I’m going on my first backpacking trip with my boyfriend, out in the rugged wilderness of Washington State. We’re going on a 4-day trip through difficult terrain, and I feel like…

I always plan my summer campouts around the best viewing times for meteor showers, and this year I’m especially excited about the timing of the annual Perseid meteor shower, which peaks this coming Saturday and Sunday, August 11-12. I’ll be on a backpacking trip high in the Goat Rocks Wilderness of Washington State, so I…

It doesn’t matter if you’re one of those sappy, schmoopy, lovey-dovey couples we all hate to envy, or if you’re single and ready to mingle — either way, life is getting good. That’s because love planet Venus is now in the most sentimental zodiac sign, Cancer, and communication planet Mercury is moving direct in loving…

Get ready to thank your lucky stars for the second day in a row! Venus moved into Cancer today, and Mercury Retrograde ends tomorrow. Altogether this means it’s time to move forward again, and any bumps in the relationship road should finally smooth over. Mercury Retrograde messed with quite a few of my friends and…
