Oh My Stars

The Moon enters Virgo on Mother’s Day, and that seems like as good a time as any to discuss something very important that I don’t think I’ve ever really brought up here before: nurturing. I often get clients who aren’t getting enough care and concern from others, and who keep forgetting to do it for…

Like many of you, I’ve recently had a lot of concern about Godzilla. Wait, that didn’t come out right. Start again. Many people are concerned about the Saturn-Pluto conjunction, and I’m specifically worried about how it’s going to affect Godzilla. Sigh. One more time… *** In astrology, there is a concept called “mundane astrology.” You…

(CLICK HERE for the month’s major aspects!) Here’s the most important astrological forecast of the month. Really? Yes! Why? Knowing when the Moon Void of Course is happening is probably the handiest of all the common astrological techniques.

For many of you, this conjunction has been making…

When I was your age, I had to crawl through three miles of broken glass every day just to get to school and back! Okay, that’s obviously not true. That’s just an example of what older people say to younger people when the old ones think the young ones are spoiled or dumb or useless…

I slipped up and I’m two days late with Taurus, so here’s some jokes based on the absolutely worst stereotypes about…

Venus enters Aries on April 20th at 12:10 PM Eastern time, and not a minute later. Whereas Venus in Pisces is usually thought of as all sweet and soft and romantic, Venus in Aries is a lot more blunt and is in much more of a hurry. Venus will be making several aspects to other…
