Not One Planet in Retrograde!

It is a rare occurrence when no planets are in retrograde. Less than one percent of the world’s population is born when all planets are moving direct. Right now (except for a pesky retrograde of the asteroid Vesta) all planets are in “forward motion”

What can you do about that? Make new plans and gather new ideas. Now is not the time to go inward and contemplate a planet’s energy (unless your chart is heavily influenced by Vesta — Sun, Ascendant, Node.) Think spring think making planting new ground — think forward movement! Where have you been stuck and now can plot a new course?

Forward!

Sun Conjunct Lillith

The Black Moon Lillith is one of the coolest aspects of Astrology. It represents our deepest, one might say most primitive of emotions. In some versions of the Hebrew Bible, Lillith was intended to be the mate of Adam. However, she had a different idea of how her life should be – there was none of this, “helpmate” nonsense in her lexicon. She rebelled and was often cast as a “fallen or evil women.” She certainly did not have the virtues so treasured in Eve.

Lillith, in our birth charts represents our wild side – what we bury and repress – where we want to be the “bad on” that society denounces. She is where we want to be cool…and a bit of the bohemian.

On Mar 5, 2021, the Sun conjuncts Lillith, so the energy of our inner essence collides with this wild child. You might feel a touch of “Spring Magic.” However, it manifests, it is good to get a little glimpse at your wild side –but don’t go too wild!

This is Fake News: the Seven Planets in Aquarius

You might have seen some rather austere looking web entries saying that in February we will have 7 planets in Aquarius! It then goes on to say the last time this happened was during the plague in the Middle Ages and it saw the end of the Great Plague and the start of the Renaissance. Sounds great, right? One problem, it is a pile of wrong.

While it is rare to have that many signs in Aquarius, it happened as recently as February 1962. The Cuban Missile Crises happened that fall. So while it is good while it lasts, don’t believe all the nonsense about this ushering some time of peace and joy for all for years to come.

Take advantage of it and I am sure it will help usher in more and more adaptive vaccines – but not a wild new age of rebirth. We have to work on making that happen

Mercury Retrograde – 2021

On January 30, 2021 we will see our first Mercury retrograde.

This Mercury’s retrograde is in independent, free thinking, illusive and quirky Aquarius. Ruled by Uranus, this is the sign that focuses us on collective efforts to work together for the greater good of society. Keep in mind though that the definition of “greater good” is very open to interpretation!! We saw many people on January 6 convinced they had to storm the Capitol for their version of the “greater good.” How we socialize – not for a quick drink – but how we gather with people to further the “cause” is where Aquarius dwells.

Aquarius also rules the domains of science and technology.

Look for many “secrets” to come out about past botched vaccine distributions, those behind the January 6 insurrection and other juicy tidbits about our recent political past!

Kamala Harris

There are many interesting things about this chart which I will explore as we go forth. Today, I want to explore the commonality she has with Donald Trump. Yes, I said that. Both Harris and Trump share a South Node in Sagittarius. His is in the 4th house – hence his attachment to his family – hers is in 7 – making her a more socialized person.

People going from Sagittarius South are going to a Gemini North Node. Their major lesson to learn is to give up the fact that they know they are the smartest kid in the class and can’t learn from anyone about anything. Sagittarians ground in their knowledge – sometimes they wallow it in.

They need to let that go and open themselves up to new ways and new people that can teach them something new.

I will let you decide who your think is further along in that journey.

Inauguration Day

We are all shellshocked from the attempted insurrection of Jan 6, 2021. Many have asked about the astrology of Inauguration Day. Well, the good news we have a very strong Aquarian presence in the 10th house. This is the house of government and authority and we can see this fresh air of Aquarius blowing through that house.

The one sign of trouble still resides in Mars and Uranus. They will still be in a very tight conjunction – 6 degrees Taurus and tucked away in the 12th house, which the ancients saw as a house of secret enemies. Mars is war and Uranus (at his worst) is disruption. Fortunately, Uranus is no longer retrograded so that is also good.

I would recommend that law enforcement look for the unexpected – soft targets that might not be in DC and look for someone “on the inside” who could turn.

Pluto obviously still wants us to clear out more of our secrets and mistakes from the past… let’s get moving.

Not a Good Idea To Go Into DC this week.

January 6, 2021 – the date of the big “stop the steal” or whatever it is being called now, march in Washington, DC. As you can see Mars and Uranus are very close to one another in the second house – that of values! They are out of sign (meaning one is in Aries and one in Taurus) but they are too close for comfort for me. Mars is the god of War and Uranus, trickster and quixotic, likes nothing more to throw a match on a tinder.

The Saturn/Jupiter conjunction in the 11th house – that which brings people together for social causes – adds to the potential fire. Those who think they can counter the marches will be doing no good by antagonizing anyone.

Stars do not command us to act in any manner – we all have free will. I suggest everyone use it and stay away. This is not a time to fuel any flames… of any kind

New Moon in Capricorn – Jan 13.

New Moons are times of manifesting desires. Coming so soon after the Jupiter and Saturn conjunction. this is a perfect time to make the goals you made on December 21, concrete. Use the organizational abilities of Capricorn to make the goals that you need to fulfill those Aquarian dreams.

Many people make resolutions for the New Year – we know how successful they usually are! However, this is the time to embody that which we dreamed of on the Solstice. Don’t make the list too difficult but call on the New Moon to give them some structure.

Good Luck!

Saturn in Aquarius

Get ready for Saturn to express its rather dower energy in a new way finally on December 17, 2020 when it moves in Aquarius. We have been trapped in a cycle in which both Pluto and Saturn were in Saturn’s ruler, Capricorn. As we have seen, this can bring dramatic and difficult political energy – authoritarianism, dogma and general consternation as to the state of the world.

Fortunately, Saturn (and Jupiter) will leave that morass and head into the humanitarian and accepting sign of Aquarius. This is a time for turning a reassessing our social goals, structures and sense of community through the eye compassion and acceptance. Barriers and walls should and could be broken as we look to become more inclusive.
