Headlines - Uranus square Pluto

This is the first of several contacts between Uranus and Pluto - planets of revolution, reform, and massive change. This contact in June is the first of several – so we can look at it as situations that are still emerging and will play out over the next three years.

Jupiter in Gemini - June 2012 to June 2013

Jupiter

The planet Jupiter enters the sign Gemini on June 11, 2012, where he will stay until he enters Cancer on June 25, 2013. Jupiter’s last journey through Gemini was June 2000 – July 2001. Before that, July 1988 – July 1989, August 1976 – August 1977, April 1965 – May 1966. If you can find a common thread of similar events, you may be able to anticipate the kinds of energies you will be dealing with this time around. Of course, there are many other things that are different now than in these other times.

May 20 Solar Eclipse

A Solar Eclipse in technical terms is a New Moon that occurs close to one of the Moon’s Nodes. This one is very near the Moon’s South Node, making this a time of clearing past karma in order to move forward. Gemini deals with the lines of communication, miscommunication, and lack of proper communication. The South Node is the tail of the dragon. To be crude, it’s the dragon’s anus, where old digested stuff gets crapped out. In Gemini, we need to let go of crappy ideas and attitudes, crappy communication patterns.

Electional Astrology: choosing my wedding date

Dear friends, I’m getting hitched! As an astrologer who specializes in elections (picking auspicious dates), of course when was the first and biggest question, once the who showed up! Some of you told me you were interested, so I wrote this post about the date we picked for the wedding and why we picked it.

Refer to this link for my pointers and general philosophy on wedding dates.

Thoughts on Neptune in Pisces

Somehow Neptune sneaked quietly into Pisces for the first time since the early 1860s, while I was looking elsewhere. As the god of the sea enters his home territory, time for us all to do a gut check. Planets in their home sign operate with maximum intensity. So with Neptune, this is big time sensitivity and psychic energy, spiritual connection on the one hand, loss, disappointment, betrayal on the other hand. It hit me kind of hard, brought up some old emotional baggage from long ago. How are you feeling today?

Neptune will stay in Pisces for 4 months in 2011, giving us a taste of what’s ahead. Then he will back into Aquarius in early August, and return to Pisces in February 2012, staying there until 2025.
