Dear all, The Eclipses are DEFINITELY here! Still reeling from the impact of last week’s Mercury station and Lunar Eclipse — as well as from the Uranus station and Jupiter-Pluto square that happened the week before — we are now in orb of the biggest astronomical event of the year. Next Monday afternoon, the Leo New Moon Total Solar Eclipse will
The Eclipse’s Sabian Image: Here Comes the Sun
Dear all, Well, can you feel it? There’s a crackle of excitement, a charge in the air, as we spin ever nearer to the Eclipses on August 7th and August 21st. Seems fitting, because the Sabian Image for the Sun between 15 and 16 degrees Leo is “Brilliant Sunshine just after a Storm.” As Lynda

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. Institutions have birth charts just like people: they begin with a certain natal potential, make choices, experience transits and progressions, ripen and grow and live out their lives. For

Cancer, of course, is ruled by the Moon, whose mutable moods affect us more strongly than usual, whenever several planets are
Comey, Jupiter, and the Full Moon in Sadge
Dear all: Well, we’ve got a couple of big days ahead. (And FYI, if you join the mailing list, you’ll get these updates earlier!) Jupiter, Lord of the Heavens, stations this Friday morning, June 9th, at 10:04 AM Eastern US time.
