Pluto Squares the Nodes
Mar 18, 2023
Pluto is the planet to pay attention to now. He’s moving into Aquarius as I wrote about for my last newsletter, but there’s more. As Pluto enters Aquarius, he will square the Moon’s Nodes at the same time. The Nodes are changing signs too, so they will all line up together as they all make their ingresses into new signs. I don’t usually spend much time looking at a square to Pluto, but this one lasts for an exceptionally long time. Pluto will be square, or red lines, to the Nodal Axis from March…

Tough Saturn Enters Soft Pisces
Feb 16, 2023
On March 7th, 2023, Saturn will enter the sign of Pisces. Saturn has been the main planet in focus for the last year and he is now leaving radical Aquarius and will be entering spiritual Pisces. This ingress is one of the main astrological events happening this year. Saturn has an orbit of approximately 29 years and is therefore in a sign for about 2 ½ years. The last time Saturn was in Pisces was 1993 – 1996. That was the time when the internet was really starting to gain popularity. The time b…

Spoiler Alert! The Aquarian Age is almost here! We are now entering an entirely new era, and it is called Pluto in Aquarius. This is a rare cycle and Pluto is worthy of an entire article and not just a mention. In a few years, Everything is going to be different. A new paradigm.

Jupiter Enters Feisty Aries
Nov 19, 2022
We’re in for an exciting ride with Jupiter going into Aries, one of the strongest signs of the Zodiac. Excitement will be the result. The question is – how are you going to use this extra shot of energy? Jupiter was in Aries from May 10 to July 28, 2022, when it turned retrograde and backed into Pisces on October 28th. Jupiter turns direct again on November 23rd and enters Aries for good on December 20, 2022. Since Jupiter already spent a little time in Aries, Jupiter now just zips through Aries…

The Mid-Term Election Eclipse
Sep 20, 2022
Astrology always coincides with worldly events and the upcoming mid-term election is no different. There are only two Lunar Eclipses per year and November 8th is one of them. Not only is it an Eclipse, but it’s a nasty one too. An Eclipse occurs when both the Sun and Moon align with the Moon’s Nodes. The Eclipse seasons are six months apart with a Solar Eclipse happening on the New Moon and a Lunar Eclipse occurring on the Full Moon. The Moon’s Nodes are intersecting points between the path of t…

Travel, The North Star and the Sun
Jul 20, 2022
Since it’s the summer now, many of you might be traveling. When we are in a different part of the world, the sky is also different. I was inspired to write this article because of a conversation I had with one of my astrology students. She is taking her family on a holiday to Sweden and Norway. They live in Florida. I’m teaching her about the Ecliptic in our class and now she can get a chance to see the Ecliptic from a new location on the Earth. I gave her homework while she was in these countri…

Pluto Return of America
Mar 19, 2022
Pluto is the topic of conversation now, so it’s time for me to write about him. Since Pluto is the slowest planet in our solar system, it’s a very big event when he joins a planet in our chart. Pluto has an orbit of 248 years and is triggering off the chart of the United States now. Let’s get to know Pluto a bit before we see what he’s doing now. Pluto is associated with Scorpio and has an intense style. The keyword phrase for Pluto is “Death and Rebirth.” Pluto transits occur during huge times …

Chinese New Year of the Water Tiger
Feb 17, 2022
Welcome to the Chinese New Year! Last year for the Metal Ox, which changes to the Water Tiger for 2022. That’s a new animal as well as a new element. But before I explain the Water Tiger, let’s get to know a little about Chinese Astrology. The Chinese New Year starts on a different day each year and is decided using astrology. It begins at sunset on the second New Moon after the Winter Solstice, in China. Western and Chinese Astrology have similarities but also have differences. Western Astrolog…
