Today we have a powerful full moon in Aquarius, opposite the Sun in Leo at 11 degrees, squaring Aquarian Planet Uranus almost exactly! Lets understand what each of these mean for us.

If you have significant Aquarius in your natal chart, you know that area is where you can see a different perspective from other... Read more
As Mars goes through Aries, we may see the shadow aspects of Aries come up, and some of those are related to aggression and anger. Mars is the part of ourselves that helps us to be assertive & put boundaries in place to protect us. If those boundaries have not been respected, then we may feel a lot of anger within. Anger has a huge purpose in our lives. And like other strong emotions, it is not something everyone is comfortable expressing or receiving. Any transit with Mars, whether its col... Read more
Mars the planet, represents the masculine within each of us. When it goes through a particular sign, it expresses through the characteristics of that sign. So for the next 6 months in Aries, it will highlight the qualities of Aries, first the shadow or what is suppressed, so we can transform it into its essence or highest qualities. It reflects the state of the collective so even if you don’t have planets in Aries in your chart, consider how Mars' journey brings to awareness issues in your own l... Read more

You may also be seeing the shadow of Mars in Aries like aggression and anger coming up, along with deep wounds being triggered. And, with Mercu... Read more
Yesterday Mercury turned direct in the sign of Cancer. Did you feel a shift in energy over the past few days? When a planet turns direct or retrograde, the days around that can feel confusing and you could feel out of sorts. Mercury is the planet that represents the mental realm, our mind, our thoughts and how we communicate and express. This faculty of thinking is considered largely masculine in nature, while that of feeling is feminine. Our culture tends to look down on feelings and emotions b... Read more
Today the moon is in Capricorn, the sign of integrity. Later tonight, the moon will peak to fullness, opposite the Cancer Sun at 13 degrees. This full moon also happens to be a lunar eclipse, the last of the 3 eclipses that started on June 5th. So, it's a major ending of sorts, or the beginning of an ending. Now all full moons are endings but with an eclipse the ending is more obvious. Why the talk of death? As morbid as it sounds, that's the question I ask myself often, especially in the past f...
