The New Moon in Leo, Kicking Off Eclipse Season
Dear all: We have a New Moon coming up just before sunrise on Sunday — July 23rd, 2017 at 5:45 AM Eastern US time — at 0 degrees, 44 minutes Leo. The Sun, Moon, and Mars are tightly conjunct one another in the First House of the East Coast chart: so the God of War lends some
Astro Weather: The Coronal Mass Ejection
NOTE: This article was sent out as a newsletter on Saturday, July 15. Please subscribe to my mailing list for quicker updates!

The Solar Return of the United States
The Fourth of July is upon us – Independence Day, here in the US – and I thought it might be worthwhile to take a look at the birthday chart.

The Grand Trine in Fire, Fire, Fire
Dear all: In the wee hours of this morning (Friday, May 19th), two of the Big Guys, Saturn and Uranus, trined one another at 26 degrees of Sagittarius and Aries, respectively. Saturn rules structure, whereas Uranus is chaos: two principles that don’t always harmonize well. In communicating via a trine (the gentlest of interplanetary aspects), the two gods are
