There are quite a few stellar teachers and teaching tools in this world. There’s also an incredible amount of utter bullshit going around. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

The wealth for which Pluto is known today is descended from a time when people were in deep reverence to the wealth of the earth. Ploûtos, pre-conflation with Ploutōn, was named for the mineral wealth found underground in ancient Greece.

Mars in Cancer is a warrior whelmed by its feels. Is a molting crab, walking into the fight for its own growth without a shell to protect it.

The Sun in Sagittarius pulls our attention outside of the problem. Perhaps to land on a bigger piece of it. This element might have more potential to be solved. Might require more effort to undo or adjust. And might also offer untold ease to a situation that has previously lacked alleviation.

Defense is less about what’s outside of us, and more about what’s being protected within.

The house that contains Gemini in our chart is a place in our life where we are fated to live between worlds. Where we are blessed to have ride or die friends, as well as tricky adversaries. It is a place where we feel the deep etching of sacrifices we make for those we do not want to live without

During an eclipse, the light goes out. Things we can see under normal circumstances become invisible. Don’t underestimate what you can’t see.

Mars is deep in the sign of Cancer, and it feels like a good time to talk about spiritual bypass, neglect as a form of harm and accountability to our tools for living and relating well.

This year is characterized by a tightly configured square between Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus. The tension between these planets challenges us to make breakthroughs amidst breakdowns, align function with flair, and rapidly rewire our way to regulation.

My primary mission as an astrologer is to affirm, encourage, strengthen, and expand my clients’ capacity to be with life’s challenges. Most people come to me asking for guidance. So I have been studying ways to examine the angles of a chart that give my clients the guidance they need, especially in upheaval. I am working on an astrological technique that detects and uplifts our personal guides, initiators, and powerful confidants in moments when we feel like we’ve slipped into a portal and we need help understanding where to go.

Each time Jupiter and Saturn make a conjunction, they mark the start of a new phase that structures the principles by which society lives. Jupiter represents the wisdom, ideals, and truths which we as a society hold self-evident. Saturn represents the structures, rules, and time it takes to develop, manifest, and express Jupiter’s ideas. Jupiter can be indicative of expansion, abundance or wealth (to the point of extremes) and liberation. Saturn offers us traditions, channels, restrictions, judgement and sometimes, oppression.

For thousands of years we have understood that a woman’s intuition is unparalleled knowledge.

Athena is first and foremost a protectress. The kind of protection with which she is imbued is knowledge that stems from a deep well of intuition. We see this in the metaphor of her springing from the crown of Zeus’s head (knowledge). Previous to this birth, she had to emerge from the womb of her mother(intuition), swallowed by the records of the patriarchal order, cast away and hidden in Zeus’s belly.

You can’t use a supremacist process to dismantle white supremacy.

Supremacist processes urge instant fixes and perpetuate erasure and trauma because they don’t allow the time and space required by deep healing. We are conditioned to see success through a supremacist lens. Losing this lens is paramount to anti-racist work.

This moon is untamable. Beast, but only a burden if you attempt to bridle it. We have tried to domesticate this virus. To break it in. To subdue it with distance, restrain it with masks, conquer it with soap and vaccines. We have made it our enemy. We have even tried to neutralize it by imagining it as a friend, come to expose the kyriarchy.

People in panic are superficially, perhaps even falsely, preaching togetherness, seeking the reaction of their audiences or worse, the purchase of goods and services. “Togetherness” has become another healing buzzword on which to capitalize.

Saturn understands what it takes to lead. Saturn knows how to save for hard times and how to cut losses. Saturn represents the limits of things and the authorities which determine them, for better or worse.

Pisces and Virgo form the axis that I call the polarity of healing. Healing, by nature, implies a wound. A sickness that causes suffering. A disease that distorts what once was clear.

Pisces is known for its compassion. Interestingly, it's also known for an ability to dissolve boundaries. Sometimes we consider Pisces placements to be flaky, weak, over-sacrificing. This tells us a lot about what is valued in our society.

The full moon in Leo perfects on Saturday, February 8th, 2020 at 11:33pm. If Leo is the heart, Aquarius is the circulatory system. Leo is magnetic, Aquarius electrifies. Leo centers, Aquarius channels. Leo coheres while Aquarius interrupts. Leo is the core, Aquarius is liberation.

Saturn conjoins Pluto at 22°Capricorn at 8:59 AM PST on Sunday, January 12th, 2020. While you may have seen talk of this across the astro internet ether there are a few things you should know about this transit…
