The Full Moon at 19°Gemini52’ perfects at 9:12pm PST on December 11th. The Gemini/Sagittarius polarity reveals to us the trials and requite that comes with seeking and circulating truth. It is also a spectrum that flirts with falsehood in many forms. Gemini and Sagittarius are super seekers. Knowledge whores. Information swindlers and sponsors. Philanthropists, faeries and marauders of nuanced narrative material. They are the key keepers and the open doors. They are the library lenders and the avid young readers. They are the curious kids and the adept ascetics. Perhaps most of all, they are the contradictions and their reconcilers.

On Tuesday, November 12th, the Full Moon perfects at 19°Taurus52’ at 5:34am PDT. In preparing to write your horoscopes this month I’ve been meditating on the mythology of Scorpio and Taurus respectively. Mulling over the myth of Artemis which teaches us about intimacy and intensity and the collapse of self-protective walls that gives way to true sharing. About hyper-vigilance and recognition. About revenge and rage and reactivity and the suddenness of death when it arrives.

October 31st, 8:42am PST: Mercury stations retrograde at 27°Scorpio38’
While we can determine exact moments of transits and aspects, the influence of planetary movements stretches out from these points in time and space, far beyond what superficial media might consider worth examining. For the sake of focus, Mercury retrograde (and any planetary retrograde for that matter) has three distinct phases. 

On Sunday, October 13th, the Full Moon perfects at 20°Aries14’ at 2:08pm PST. Sitting in a tight square to Pluto and a charitable trine from Jupiter, this full moon, in true Libra Season Fashion, is designed to help us simultaneously converge and diverge. The configuration around this Moon creates the kind of challenge that will illuminate our unique obstacles to healthy relating.

On Friday, September 13th at 9:33PM PST, the Full Moon perfects at 21°Pisces05’. This Moon might fret with our faith. Might offer us myriad diverging choices that bend as soon as we make them. Might have us sending messages in bottles out to sea or collecting them from strange shores. This Moon asks us to engage Virgo’s various potential resources so we can navigate Pisces’ ever-changing waters.

12:24am PST: Sun in Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces, both at 17°18’
As the Sun makes its annual opposition to Neptune, it asks us to confront both our dreams and illusions. About what are you fantasizing that you haven’t taken any practical steps towards? To dream in a world which is so oppressive is a radical act. More radical than this, is to take actions towards that dream.

Monday, September 2nd
3:43am PST: Sun conjunct Mars at 9°Virgo41’
Generally, Sun and Mars together build quite the fire. As Virgo is an internal sign, the Sun and Mars here support us in focusing our efforts inward.

Monday, August 26th
8:38am PST: Venus in Virgo trine UranusRx in Taurus, both at 6°32’
As Venus moves into harmonic flow with Uranus in earth signs, our physical way of relating to one another lands itself in a space of rapid review.

Wednesday, August 21st
2:06am PST: Venus enters Virgo
Venus in Virgo gets a bad rap. Sure, if she had it her way, Venus might waltz around whispering sweet nothings and shelling out compliments all year.

The Full Moon perfects at 22°Aquarius24’ at 5:29am PST on Thursday, August 15th. Leo and Aquarius sit on what I call the polarity of character.

Wednesday, August 7th
12:31am PST: Sun in Leo trine Jupiter in Sagittarius, both at 14°32’
This aspect brings heat to our hope. The Sun and Jupiter in harmonious aspect to each other are fuel for whatever fire is being built.

Monday, July 29th
4:13pm PST: Sun in Leo square Uranus in Taurus, both at 6°33’
At the time of year when it is closest to the earth, the Sun in Leo represents the desire to be loved for true brilliance, and the willingness to express that desire.

Sunday, July 21st
1:30am PST: Venus in Cancer opposite Pluto in Capricorn, both at 21°44’
Venus’ opposition to Pluto is the last of this summer’s slew of personal confrontations with the planetary god of the underworld.

On Tuesday July 16th at 2:38pm PST, a Full Lunar Eclipse perfects at 24°Capricorn04’. This Eclipse season is marked by a series of rare, complicated, and serious signatures. 

Monday, July 8th
3:42am PST: Venus in Cancer square Chiron in Aries, both at 5°57’
It can be easy to slip into the story that nothing we do will ever be enough for love. Receiving, fully experiencing, and shepherding love into our lives is a lot of work in a culture that teaches us everything has to be earned.

Monday, July 1st
4:20pm PST: Mars enters Leo
As the warrior leaves the sign of Cancer, we’re granted a bit of relief from the sensation of being pulled apart. While Mars separated from Saturn and Pluto a week or so prior, this ingress marks a notable shift in our ability to take action.

Monday, June 24th
2:59am PST: Venus in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces, both at 18°44’
What is the line you draw between the intellect and spirit? Where does trying to “figure it out” leave you feeling empty, longing for something with more depth than can be offered by anything other than faith?

The Full Moon at 25°Sagittarius53’ perfects at 1:30AM PDT on Monday, June 17th. Sitting with faith-filled Jupiter, this Full Moon is the saving grace of a moment astrologer Austin Coppock has lovingly coined the “meat-grinder”.

Monday, June 10th
8:28am PDT: Sun in Gemini opposite Jupiter in Sagittarius, both at 19°29’
This aspect draws a line between our willingness to learn and our deep desire to already know. If not careful, we can fall into the chasm between our curiosity and our self-righteousness.

Monday, June 3rd
3:02am PDT: New Moon at 12°Gemini34’
This New Moon is a breath of fresh air. Sitting in a spot of the sky that is safe away from the chaos currently affecting the Cardinal signs, this Moon gives us an opportunity to reset our learning curve.
