Codes to unlock the stars, not to be locked down by them. “At The Shadow Line” Meandering Mercury leaves his so-called “shadow” period this week. The fleet-footed planet shadows the degree and sign he was in (4º Taurus) before he went retrograde last month. This isn’t the same Mercury, though. He has more light from […]
Codes to unlock the stars, not to be locked down by them. “Get to know ya” We might feel a great rush to intimacy as eloquent Mercury speeds up next to amorous Venus in Aries on Saturday. Often words and feelings flow with lots of flourish. But they have little follow through. You might […]
Codes to unlock the stars, not to be locked down by them. “Ressentiment” Longer than usual intro. Busy heavenly dialogues this week. “Ressentiment” was one of those words I used to love to wave around in my 20s. I was steeped in the bad writing of postmodernism at the time. Words like “ressentiment” had a […]
Codes to unlock the stars, not to be locked down by them. “Breaking Molds” Yup, Mercury just went direct on Sunday. Folks will cram their empty social media boxes with joyful cheers about it. But that might be the least interesting part of the week. The real draws are the Sun-Jupiter match-up by a tense […]
Codes to unlock the stars, not to be locked down by them. “Grounding” Happy New Year! Sometimes when we must make a large leap forward, we have to get centered and grounded by putting a foot back to anchor ourselves. We might have to find practical ways to do that to jump farther into 2017. […]
Codes to unlock the stars, not to be locked down by them. “Dead Ass (Serious)” I had to laugh when I first heard someone exclaim, “Dead ass!” I was providing tech training for young adults in the Bronx. It took an already strange phrase, “dead serious,” to another absurd level. I mean, death is pretty […]
Codes to unlock the stars, not to be locked down by them. Re-focusing Power Mercury has a few tricks up his sleeve this week. But most of them happen in our minds, not necessarily by any sleight of hand on the planet’s part. Some astrologers talk about Mercury in his “shadow” now. The “shadow” means […]
Codes to unlock the stars, not to be locked down by them. Between Worlds The deep spiritual significance of Halloween (or All-Hallows Eve) gets lost in all the fun about trick or treating and getting in costumes. It’s a day where many believe it’s easier to pass between the world of the living and the dead. […]
Codes to unlock the stars, not to be locked down by them. The commanding Sun faces off against off-the-wall Uranus on Saturday morning before a full moon that night. We’ll feel the build of this zany, fidgety energy during the week though. Some might embrace these feelings with open rebellion by quitting a job. […]
At the top of this week, there was a powerful conjunction between the revealing Sun and nebulous Neptune. The merging of these two planets can symbolize many things, but one of the things it can also signify is illumination and enchantment. Enchantment can have a negative connotation for some. It can imply that someone’s under a […]
Weekly Horoscopes for August 25 – August 31, 2014 Where is the love? For our weekly horoscopes this week, it looks like summer’s decided to take an early vacation. There’s been a nip in the air, at least for the last few days here in NYC. #Virgo season, the last summer zodiac sign, has officially […]
Today’s “Eid Al Adha,” a special day for Muslims. It’s a day of sacrifice and celebration, preceded by fasting. I can’t help but be struck how this Eid comes just before a lunar eclipse at 25-26 degrees of Aries/Libra. This is the same axis at which we celebrate Passover in the spring, just before Easter. Of […]
The Sun has a “stare down” contest with Pluto and Uranus this week. For Aries‘ horoscope, I had this to say about stare down contests in general: “One of the most fun games on the planets to play as a kid is also perhaps one of the dumbest to play as an adult: stare-down contests.” […]
Yesterday, I wrote a bit on twitter what I’ve been feeling about #Leo, especially during these last 10 days of Ramadan. It’s a challenging time to write about a sign that’s known to relate to the ego. But the hardness of it all also made re-evaluate my assessment of Leo as it relates to the […]
She told me that she lit a candle. It was during a Venus hour for her location sometime around 8/20/2010, the last time that Venus and Mars conjoined (but in Libra.) When I wrote about it, I talked about a little bit about how to finesse one’s desires. My friend certainly did. She was praying […]
