After a stressful situation at the office where two co-workers overreacted in frustration and anger but each defused the 'heat' pretty quick, I confirmed what I knew must be true astrologically-- that the transiting Moon must be influenced by Mars somehow. Sure enough, at the time of the confrontation, Moon and Mars were conjunct in … Continue reading What Mood Are You In? And Why?

Inside Out & Inside Out 2 and Astrology- Of Course!
What would your emotions look like if you could see them? Maybe seeing your emotions in whatever form they might take isn’t necessary.

From The Moon
In Vedic Astrology, there's a simple technique of turning the birth chart so that the house occupied by the Moon becomes a secondary or 'temporary' Ascendant.

Malefics and Benefics- the Labels We Give Planets
I recently read an article from a well-known Western Astrologer about his upcoming webinar on Mars. He stated how unfortunate it is that the planet Mars gets labeled as a 'malefic'.

Happy Thanksgiving 2024
Abundance, prosperity, and grace come to us astrologically through Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system.

The unfortunate event was ruled an accident; so when considering this through the lens of astrology, the immediate factor is Mars, the planet of accidents.

Blaming Saturn
Not long ago I heard a well-known astrologer say that 'Saturn is the planet of karma'. (Mercury must not have been retrograde at the time or Mercury would've been blamed!) The comment reminded me how overwhelmingly negative most feel towards Saturn. Okay, yes, Saturn does present challenges and difficulties. It is the planet that brings … Continue reading Blaming Saturn
