Pluto asks us to go beneath the surface of things. It is synchronistic that just recently, there was a prominent planetary alignment in the sky of Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, and the Moon. You may have heard about this in the news, as it was a unique opportunity for all of us to view these planets gathered close together.

Jupiter and Pluto are in range of a conjunction and will be so for the remainder of 2020. (Dates at the end of this post) Jupiter and Pluto come together about every 13 years. These two very different archetypes contrast with and enhance each other. In short, Jupiter magnifies, while Pluto intensifies.

Sometimes, a client will email me, months or even a year after their reading, to tell me: It all happened, just the way you said it would! They got the relationship/job/home that they’d been wanting.

When I share with you about the current astrology, my underlying intention is always the same: To offer you useful, practical strategies for aligning with the energies at play. I want to help you work with the flow rather than against it.

Gemini is often portrayed as an intellectual sign. With Gemini, it’s all about the head, right? But in astrology, each sign is connected to the one before and the one after, in their order on the wheel of the zodiac. The lessons gleaned from working with one sign make us ready for the lessons of the next. Gemini is followed by Cancer, a sign of empathy, sensitivity, and emotional connection.

In my previous post on Chiron in Aries, I focused on the qualities of this placement for the collective. For all of us, Chiron in Aries will be bringing forward themes of self-confidence and courage. I also shared my experience as a natal Chiron-in-Aries person. This post will focus on Chiron in Aries as it relates to each Sun Sign.

When we don’t give ourselves enough time for self-care, we feel off-center. We can experience feelings of confusion, weariness, and depression. It can sometimes feel like our life is happening to someone else.

When someone seeks out a reading of any kind, it’s not usually because everything is fine. Some of my clients do come to me for a yearly check-in, at which time they may only want a forecast of the coming trends. But most often people who want a reading are in a challenging time in their lives, and they are looking for insight.

Saturn enters its own sign of Capricorn on December 19, 2017 and will remain there through March 21, 2020. Saturn’s transit through Capricorn magnifies the Saturnian archetype and emboldens Capricorn energy.

We have had another mass shooting here in the U.S., the worst in our country’s history. This comes after a month of devastating events. The hurricanes: Harvey, Irma, and Maria.

When a planet stations (either retrograde or direct), we feel the archetypal energy of that planet more strongly in the days leading up to and away from the exact station.

For the beginning student of astrology, the options are overwhelming. You can learn online. You can listen to podcasts. You can take in-person classes at your local astrology school.
