Greetings Earthlings,

In like a lamb out like a lion is the saying that goes with the month of March. There are two kinds of folks born in March. The first kind are watery Pisces – gentle and loving, fey and somewhat fickle. The latter are fiery Aries, bold, naïve, warm and occasionally impatient. In March we move from one season to another celebrating Equinox: Spring equinox here in the northern hemisphere and the Autumnal equinox in the southern hemisphere; two halves of the same world. We live on a dualistic plane of existence, subject to the vagaries and passions of this mortal coil. Pisces is the end of things (Omega) and yet is also the container for the seeds of Aries (Alpha). Enjoy yourself this month as Mercury turns direct and fresh winds clear your head. 

Stern, slow Saturn changes signs this March moving from government-centered Capricorn to people-centered Aquarius. Power returns to the people. Those born between 1990 and 1992 experience their first Saturn return while those turning 58 experience their second one. Please note, this is a process that can take as long as several months and is dependent on each individual chart. The Saturn return is a cosmic rite of passage that closes out a life chapter and initiates a new one. It can be difficult, but not always. It is always memorable, however.

The month begins on a steady note. There’s a waxing Moon and the leap year is in the rearview mirror. Mercury is still retrograde, and things continue to feel slightly fuzzy, but growth and progress are in the air as the Capricorn stellium of Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and Pluto dominate the cosmic landscape. Big things are happening folks. Enormous change is afoot. Keep looking deeper at your own life. Keep taking responsibility for your creations. Steer yourself and those you love toward the safe and fertile shores created by your imagination and Spirit’s guiding. You are after all, the God Self. We are in Pisces’ terrain now and dreaming is how we get through. Forgiveness and gratitude help tremendously as well. Pisces holds the energy of the past in the symbol of two fish eternally yoked together. Who are we without our past? And what can we become without it?

March 2^nd and there’s tension in the air. Loving Venus chides stern Saturn, or is it the other way round? Sometimes hard things go along with long-term commitments. There’s a price for doing things your own way. Test yourself if you like.

March 4^th and two planets change signs shifting the energy. Retrograde Mercury slips back into intellectual Aquarius giving you an opportunity to rethink things through. And Venus enters earthy Taurus, gives a big sigh and asks for a back rub. It’s time a little sensuality entered your life. Venus stays in her home sign of the Bull until early April. She will retrograde in Gemini late May through to late June so enjoy her direct presence now by clarifying your values, finances, sense of aesthetics, and love relationships.

Practice steadiness over the next few days as the Cancer Moon opposes the Capricorn stellium and heaviness may be felt. The Sun is fast approaching dreamy Neptune and when it gets there, love and rain fall from the heavens in a carpet of cherry blossoms.

The 6^th and 7^th resonate with the blossoming Leo Moon. It’s time for play. Creativity is your best friend now. 

The 7^th sees the Sun and Neptune up close and personal. The next two days are good for rest and music. Throw a little love in there too. Prayer, meditation, and all forms of creativity and spiritual practice flourish under these skies.

On the 8^th, Venus conjuncts Uranus upsetting the applecart. Oh oh. Watch out. Values could change. Do something energetic when you’re not napping. The Sun and Neptune continue to connect — softening and forgiving any sharp edges. Daylight savings starts today! Not my favorite thing.

Big Virgo Full Moon on the 9^th! Female shifts and changes are underway as Chiron and Black Moon Lilith connect and Venus blows Uranus a parting kiss. It looks like liberation to me but as with anything Virgo, please practice good discernment. Be moderate in your actions and reflective in your reactions. The Pisces Sun feels so much and the Virgo Moon assimilates it all. Rest your digestive system today with a light fast. Mercury turns direct today also. Clarity begins to return.

The 10th through the 11^th continues the fallout from the Full Moon. Pay attention.

There may be a few surprises on the 12^th when the Moon opposes Uranus.

13^th Mars approaches Jupiter increasing your chances for success. Keep planning and acting on your goals.

14^th through the 16^th the Sagittarian Moon lifts your spirits. Plan, or better yet, take an adventure.

Early on the 16^th Mercury re-enters Pisces bringing feelings and memories into everyday encounters.

Halfway through the 16^th and all the way through the 18^th, the traveling Moon connects with the Capricorn stellium bringing news of the government and its doings into every home and heart. This could be a sobering time.

Late on the 19^th (MT), the Sun slips into Aries marking the spring equinox and the shift of seasons. Spring has sprung in the northern hemisphere and the days and night are equal once again. Happy birthday Aries!

The 19^th through to the 20th, active Mars conjuncts abundant Jupiter. Move over Red Bull – this conjunction really gives you wings. This is strong energy folks. Use it to your advantage by being clear on your goals and values.

Listen close on the 21^st when Mercury and the Moon connect. Important messages come to you in your dreams and via art and poetry.

22^nd guard your immune system and stay away from angry people. Mars connects with powerful Pluto suggesting underhanded moves and existential threats. Jupiter is close enough to blow things out of proportion. The Moon connects with spiritual Neptune. To transform this energy and use its power for good, spend the day in prayer or meditation if you can. Write, make music and beam love.

The 22^nd through to the 24^th are tender. The Aries Sun connects with Chiron – don’t take anything personally! Venus is bright and beautiful during this time. Check her out in the West before you hit the sack.

The 24^th is a tender, tender Aries New Moon. Oh, the journey the little seed has to go through before it blossoms as its true Self! Be gentle dear Ones with the power and might of your bright hearts.

The 25^th to the 27^th Venus comes into a pleasing relationship with abundant Jupiter making the 27^th a particularly lucky day. The Moon gets in on it too. Celebrate the comforts and security of your home and family.

The rest of the month speeds by under the presence of the chatty Gemini Moon. It’s time to connect the dots and catch up on those conversations and until there’s a full stop. This happens March 31^st when Mars changes signs and meets Saturn.

31^st Mars enters egalitarian Aquarius – more power to the people! But it bumps into stern Saturn suddenly finding limits and boundaries. Use this time to focus your desires over the long term. Never give up!

The month ends with the sense that the times are changing once again. Remember, you matter, we are all connected, Earth is our home and love is our destination.

Greetings Earthlings,

Are you ready to go two steps forward and one back? The energy this month shifts from the intellectual sign of Aquarius (think friends, discussion, debate) to the creative musings of Pisces (think art, poetry and dreaming). The two steps back is due in large part to Mercury’s entry and retrograde in Pisces, the most watery and confusing of the twelve signs. Pisces holds the keys to the future by mulling over the past. From February 9th on, the focus is on reflection, not analysis. You can still make progress this month just don’t expect too much. Real awareness occurs in your inner world so be sure to spend time there. 

The Sun travels in social and intellectual Aquarius until the 18^th, keeping the focus and vibe on group dynamics and here in the USA, debate and analysis over the impeachment hearings. 

We’re out of the tense woods for the moment. The tension coincided with the Saturn/Pluto conjunction and pressure on Mercury in the USA chart. Alas, we’re in for more drama and tension this year, and fairly soon. Pluto will connect with Mars and Jupiter next month, and will connect again with Saturn toward the end of summer giving us another window of tension and threat. But for this month, we’re in the clear. 

February gives you a unique opportunity to linger in the land of dreams and mulch –- the place before manifestation takes place. Consider it an opportunity for rest and a chance to regroup. Spend time by the water if you can. Pisces does not lend itself to a strong immune system so be sure to keep yourself healthy as well.

1^st – the month starts with a bit of a struggle as the Aquarian Sun squares the Taurus Moon bringing inner conflict to the foreground. Not everything is comfortable all the time. Bear with it. 

2^nd – and it’s Super Bowl Sunday. This is a more stable, maybe even an inert kind of day, as the Moon stabilizes in Taurus with support from Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. Let yourself feel the weightiness of this time.

3^rd – the move we’ve been waiting for happens now, chatty Mercury enters gentle and dreamy Pisces. Mercury usually spends three weeks in a sign but will be ten weeks in this most sensitive and intuitive of signs giving you an opportunity to really process whatever it is you want to happen. Mercury in Pisces is also highly creative. Get your paint brushes out! 

3^rd to the morning of the 5^th  — energy quickens when the Moon enters chatty Gemini, harmonizes with the Aquarian Sun and opposes Mars. It’s time to get a move on in a positive manner.

5^th – the Moon enters watery Cancer and connects favorably with Mercury in dreamy and watery Pisces. Heed your dreams and feelings.

6^th — can feel emotional and full when the Moon opposes Jupiter. Pace yourself.

7^th – could feel heavy with lots of responsibility as the Moon opposes Saturn and Pluto but Venus enters Aries today helping you stand up for yourself and get what you want. Maybe that’s a little selfish but it could be needed right about now.

8^th – the Moon waxes to almost full and enters warm and confident Leo giving you the confidence you need to move forward independently.

Early on the 9^th – it’s a glorious Leo Full Moon! Time to celebrate and play. With favorable connections to Mars your confidence and will power is magnified. Enjoy yourself today.

10^th – 11^th – the Moon travels through finicky Virgo helping you get organized. With positive aspects to the Capricorn contingent you can get a lot done if you take your time, despite the Full Moon fallout. 

12^th – 13^th – you may strive for balance during these two days. The Moon in Libra opposes Venus and then enters Scorpio to oppose Uranus. It’s hard to please all the people all the time and sometimes it’s harder to know what you want. Practice patience and make changes you can live with.

14^th – Valentine’s Day – a tough holiday for those on their own and with the Moon in Scorpio this is especially so. Do something nice for yourself or a friend.

15^th – The Scorpio Moon and the Aquarian Sun create an impasse. Get outside if you can. Let nature heal you.

16^th – is a big day. Mercury turns retrograde until March 9^th. You know what this looks like —misunderstandings, travel plans go awry, etc. That’s the worst-case scenario while the best case is an opportunity to rest, reflect and dream. Enjoy!

Also, on the 16^th, active Mars enters sensible Capricorn. This is fabulous energy that will keep you going with your plans and help you actualize your goals. Mars stays in Capricorn until the end of March. Make hay while you can for Mars will retrograde in Aries later this year and that won’t be good for progress.

17^th – the Sagittarian Moon gives you wings.

18^th – another big cosmic shift. Today the Sun leaves egalitarian Aquarius for gentle Pisces. This is an energy shift that exacerbates Mercury’s retrograde but does magnify the creative, spiritual and intuitive vibe of this most sensitive and insightful of signs. Keep your immune system strong over the next thirty days as Pisces has no boundaries. The Moon and Mars conjunct today also, giving a little boost to most activities.

19^th – 20^th – tough, practical days as the Moon travels through no-nonsense Capricorn and connects with Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. News from the Government makes headlines.

21^st – watch out! Mars trines Uranus making for sudden turns and changes. Do something interesting, maybe even a little risky, but do keep your head screwed on.

22^nd – prepare for the Pisces New Moon tomorrow by connecting with your pals before clearing your schedule.

23^rd – it’s a beautiful Pisces New Moon. New Moons are always opportunities to begin again, to start fresh. Pisces longs to escape. Try to switch out your addictions for healthier pursuits. You have an excellent chance to shake out demons, to forgive and let go. Try it.

24^th – it’s a dreamy day with the Moon conjunct Neptune. Protect your immune system. Get in the water if you can.

25^th – the Sun meets retrograde Mercury today giving leaders an opportunity to reflect on their past winnings. Take the time to record in your journal. There’s a Moon/Chiron conjunction today also. You can learn a lot if you listen to your heart.

26^th – The Sun and Mars form a favorable connection. It’s time to move forward.

27^th – 29^th — keep your wits about you as the Moon connects with Uranus and then Venus squares Pluto. Your desires may lead you astray.

This leap year ends with the promise that despite the prevailing atmosphere you can remain focused on that which means the most. Tune in to your inner landscape. It’s not a place to escape from, but a place to escape to.

Remember – you matter, we are all connected. Earth is our home and love is our destination.

Blessings,

Your astrologer, Dulce

Greetings Earthlings,

Here we are once again poised at the brink of a new year and the Chinese year of the Rat. Like other times in human history, this year holds potential for struggle and rebirth. In 2020, the stern energy of Saturn faces down the destructive power of transformative Pluto. Remember 9/11 and the Twin Towers? That’s when Saturn and Pluto opposed one another. This month they conjunct. Mark January 6^th through the 12^th on your calendars. Though we may live in separate countries we are one World and the Saturn/Pluto conjunction resonates throughout the Globe. It’s particularly germane to the USA as we’re experiencing a Pluto return. Our Founding Fathers argued, a lot. http://www.inquiriesjournal.com/articles/24/friendship-and-conflict-the-relationship-of-the-us-founding-fathers They framed the Constitution out of their fierce desire for personal and national freedom from Britain. You can see the struggle in the chart of the USA – Mercury (governing ideas and discourse) opposes Pluto (power and control). Our Pluto return will bring up the same struggle that is inherent in our country’s philosophical roots. The impeachment trial of Donald Trump brings these 244-year old arguments, and all the others that have followed it, to the foreground. Ordinary citizens are given the opportunity to fall in love with their Nation, the wisdom of its structure, and many will try to change it. 

On a personal level, 2020 is your opportunity for rebirth also. Great and benevolent Jupiter guides us through this year with practical advice and know-how. You may want to give everything up to run and save the dolphins, but Jupiter suggests that first you cut back on your use of plastic.

2020 opens and closes with Cancer Moons reminding this Cancer country that the quality of our home is not negotiable. And that all beings who live upon, in, under and above this beautiful land have the right to exist in peace in the habitats and migration routes they have used for centuries. Begin the year by honoring your home and by being grateful for the shelter it provides you. Cancer also evokes the feminine and reminds us that love and kindness are high vibration energies. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: I may update this month’s blog as I’m posting this just before the end of 2019. I wanted to squeeze it in. So please check back and refresh your screen every now and then.

New Post 01/07/2020: The USA drone attack on Iran officials seems to be the international event I saw in the astrology. My concern remains, especially for the Cancer Full Moon eclipse (01/10) which takes within 4 degrees of the USA Mercury. However, I think the greatest danger for the USA, or even for Iran (and the globe) is when transiting Mars opposes the USA Uranus between January 14 – 16th. Pray for peace, everyone. Prayer works.

COSMIC PLAY-BY-PLAY

January 1^st – lots of planets in Capricorn as the month opens. It’s a great opportunity to set your highest ideals while staying grounded. Question for the day and the New Year: how do I want to go forward?

Jupiter is in Capricorn for the first time in 12 years and is grouped with the Sun and south node at the opening of this year. Our country is experiencing a Jupiter opposition. Since Jupiter governs the field of law and Capricorn government, we know we’re entering a year of political struggle and debate.

2^nd – 4^th: The fiery Aries Moon takes us through these two days with courage and flair. It is a new year! We can do things differently. Mercury connects with Jupiter and big talk is possible. These are good days to restructure your plans. 

3^rd: active Mars leaves sultry Scorpio for sunny Sagittarius. This is an athletic and optimistic energy and brings vitality to all fire and air signs. Mars will be in Sadge until mid-February.

4^th: a good day for stable change, yes there is such a thing, as the Taurus Moon connects with Uranus and both trine all that Capricorn.

5^th – 6^th: good earth energy for work and creative projects. Stay focused for maximum results.

6^th – 10^th: Saturn and Pluto meet at 22° Capricorn. Notice where you are struggling to emerge from old rules and karma. What is the nature of your re-birth?

10^th:  full Moon Cancer lunar eclipse around 12:22 PM MST. Full Moons, especially eclipses of those Moons and watery Moons such as this, bring a lot of emotion. Keep yourself calm and carry on. Uranus turns direct today also allowing those inner changes to find expression in the outer world.

11^th – 12^th: drama abounds as the Moon slips into Leo while Mercury, the Sun, Ceres, Saturn and Pluto all meet tightly in Capricorn. It almost looks like the death of an international leader or a gathering of leaders. These are the days to walk your talk and to center in your truth. And it helps a lot to pray. Gratitude lifts your vibration too.

12^th: The pressure is on folks! It’s time to make those changes or, conversely, to root in even deeper than before. Today is a glorious alignment at 22° Capricorn – Sun, Ceres, Pluto, Saturn and little Mercury at 23°. I’m glad Ceres is there. This energy provides for the future and is the guardian of all that has been lost. Let’s hope there are no global disasters at this time. Certainly, there’ll be political shenanigans here in the good ole USA and perhaps a powerful new Renaissance. 

13^th: the fall-out continues. This isn’t going anywhere in a hurry. Venus picks this moment to enter gentle Pisces. Venus in Pisces has no boundaries and you may have difficulty saying no. Forgiveness works great. You don’t need to be a martyr unless the calling is very high.

13^th – 15^th the Virgo Moon helps you bring order into your life and health routine.

16^th: Mercury moves into Aquarius picking up the pace of the conversation. Everyone has an opinion now and rightfully so. This is your chance to share your ideas too. Mercury will be in Aquarius until early February.

17^th – 19^th: the watery Scorpio Moon helps you access your deepest feelings. Remember, gold is buried.

20^th: we leave some of the prudence of Capricorn behind as the Sun enters social Aquarius today. Power to the people! Keep your wits about you and don’t let the bastards get you down (as the Romans used to say). Also, today the Moon and Mars connect bringing vital energy to your endeavors.

21^st – 22^nd: days for optimism and action. Civil action and social connection flow well.

23^rd: The Sun squares Uranus creating a bit of turmoil. Get out and do something different. This is restless break-free energy. The Moon is traveling through the last degrees of Capricorn attuning you to the planet’s vibration. Do get grounded but don’t get heavy. Put your prayers for light and love into the world and remember to create something good with your thoughts.

24^th: a delightful Aquarian New Moon at sunset (MST). Here’s your chance to make new friends and embrace new concepts. There is much more to life than we have previously imagined.

25^th: Happy Chinese New Year! It’s the Year of the Rat, a shrewd business outlook and adaptability are hallmarks of this sneaky little creature because it survives, no matter what! This is another social day.

26^th – 28^th: Venus and Neptune connect in intuitive Pisces. You get inside info and direction now. Write down your dreams. Practice forgiveness. Intuition keeps flowing as the Moon travels through Pisces meeting Venus and Neptune. Tenderness is likely as is low energy when Mars squares Neptune. Rest.

29^th: heal up today and keep listening to your vibes.

30^th – 31^st: The month ends as the Aries Moon squares planets in Capricorn. A little resistance goes a long way to strengthening your muscles. Don’t you ever give up.

Remember, you matter, we are all connected, earth is our home and love is our destination.

Greetings Earthlings,

Here we are at the tail end of 2019 with all its hoop-las and holy-daze. December is a striking month in that the energy changes quite dramatically, mostly due to Jupiter’s move into stern Capricorn for the first time in 12 years and a Solar Eclipse on Christmas Day.

Hopefully, you’ve rooted yourself into your perfect spot. As I’ve written many times, 2020 is a problematic year, especially as six planets retrograde for long months at a time, delaying and obscuring the simplest of actions. Election Day USA November 3, 2020 is especially fraught with obstacles and confusion. Those of us who can read the cosmic maps (the gift of astrology) can see the way ahead, but life can only be lived in the present. Make this month count as you realize that the power is indeed, in the present.

Take advantage of the optimistic energy of Sagittarius and lean into the vision of your life. Sagittarius gives you the opportunity to find meaning and purpose for your life. Discover it this month as the Sun travels through this hopeful sign until winter solstice on December 21^st. There’s a lot of earth energy in the heavens this month, the Sun being the only celestial body in sunny Sadge as the month opens. So right off the bat you may feel grounded.

The month begins with Jupiter’s move into Capricorn on the 2^nd. Think back 12 years. What was happening for you in 2007? Planetary cycles tend to bring similar events to us so that we may learn and grow while on the earth plane. Jupiter’s warm abundant presence is curtailed in the heavy pragmatism of this most serious of earth signs and the forecast for 2020 is not warm and fuzzy. Nonetheless, Jupiter is always a feel-good energy so we can continue to expect and receive blessings though they may be tempered by the seriousness of the coming times.

On the 3^rd, Venus and Mars play well together making everything alright.

The 5^th is a tender day as the Aries Moon connects with sensitive Chiron. Do something that makes you feel better about yourself.

The 8^th could send some surprises your way when the Taurus Moon connects with wild Uranus. Mercury is at the tail end of its long sojourn through Scorpio so beware of heavy thinking. On the 9^th it makes the leap into Sagittarius and spirits lift. Mercury can be scattered in this sign so be alert over the next three weeks to sweeping statements and unclear outcomes.

11^th sees a Full Gemini Moon shining down, bringing the ability to connect the dots as you make sense of what you’re doing. There’s a square to Neptune at this Full Moon so don’t get yourself into a position where you’re being taken advantage of. Neptune invites dreams and dreaming so pay close attention to what comes through for you at this Full Moon. Saturn gets in on the Full Moon too stabilizing the situation and sending good business ideas your way.

The next few days (12^th – 14^th) see a flurry of cosmic activity including an intense Venus/Pluto conjunction which could evoke jealousy and intrigue; and a Mars/Neptune sextile which could see men and/or action plans promising more than they can deliver. 

Despite the waning Moon, the 14^th and 15^th are high jinx lucky days as Jupiter connects favorably with wild Uranus both in Earth signs. Try something new; for example work with and make art out of clay; or design things with rocks. It’ll be over eight years before Jupiter and Uranus will trine again so do make this a special time.

On the 17^th through the 19^th Mars connects favorably with stern Saturn making these great days for concerted effort and practical action.

The next few days sees Venus enter the final degrees of practical Capricorn while Saturn creeps up closer to Pluto. This conjunction will occur in early January 2020 and brings with it a foreshadowing of difficult times ahead.

Very early on the 20^th (MT), gracious Venus leaves prudent Capricorn for social Aquarius. Equality and fairness take center stage as personal relationships cool down for intellectual pursuits. 

Winter Solstice on the 21^st and the Sun leaves philosophical Sagittarius for Capricorn where most of the action is anyway. It’s time to turn your attention to the basic structure of your life – bill paying, medical insurance, and all that boring but really important stuff.

The 22^nd is a break away day as Venus square Uranus. It’s time to exert your freedom as you spread your wings and fly. New friendships and adventures await but can destabilize the status quo.

Christmas Eve brings new traditions as the Sun, newly in Capricorn, connects favorably with wild Uranus. This is on the heels of a New Moon solar eclipse on Christmas Day. Wow! Talk about opening a door to a higher portal. Jupiter is present at this lunation making wisdom and common sense available to all. Good business decisions and old friendships bring luck and good fortune.

Capricorn energy prevails over the next few days focusing your attention on your goals and plans. This becomes enhanced when chatty Mercury enters this most prudent, and also most lusty, of signs late on the 28^th. If you use this time wisely and strategize for the coming year, you’ll be well pleased. 

Mercury trines with Uranus during the last days of 2019 bringing fresh ideas and bold solutions to you. A little bit of re-structuring can help you immensely. The year ends as the Pisces Moon connects with Neptune. This can be melancholy but that’s what singing Auld Lang Syne is for. Don’t let yourself disappear. Dream a positive dream and connect to your highest self. 2020 brings many challenges but it’s not anything you can’t do. Au contraire mes frères et soeurs, we’re entering a time when we get to be and do what is most important to us.

Many blessings and remember — you matter, we are all connected, Earth is our home and love is our destination.

Your astrologer,

Dulce

Greetings Earthlings!

Can you feel Scorpio’s intense watery depths? They are magnified by Mercury’s retrograde in Scorpio (until 11/20), so we have no where to go but down and in. In our superficial world this deep dive isn’t going to hurt. Au contraire mon frère et ma soeur, it will heal you. The Sun in Scorpio (and Mercury’s retrograde) lends an air of vital energy to your activities and may even take you to the brink of life and death. Scorpio provides images to project upon and guidance/input from the Universe.

Mark your calendars for this is a magical month – Venus enters Sagittarius 11/1. Mercury will cross the face of the Sun in a rare transit on the 11^th. There’s a Taurus Full Moon 11/12; Mars enters Scorpio 11/18, the Sun enters Sagittarius 11/22; and on 11/24 Jupiter and Venus play kissy kiss while Mars opposes Uranus. That’s a truly big day! The Sagittarius New Moon is on 11/26 and Neptune turns direct on 11/27.

The month opens with Mercury’s retrograde. This is a reminder to turn inward, bringing emotional issues and relationships to a rational resting place. The month also starts off with a sensible dose of Capricorn as the Moon travels through Capricorn and connects with the somber duo of Saturn and Pluto. These two will make a spectacular connection next year and Jupiter will join them. This coincides with the USA race for the presidency. I see this as a time when the laws of the land will be challenged in an unprecedented way. This is already unfolding with Donald Trump’s presidency and the current impeachment hearings. Truly, these are difficult times and are expected to get more difficult in 2020. Pluto is the modern-day ruler of Scorpio (Mars the esoteric and ancient ruler) so this month gives us clues as to what to expect over the next year.

But, back to Scorpio and November 2019. On the 1^st, the Capricorn influence softens as Venus, Goddess of love and pleasure, enters optimistic Sagittarius bringing fun and adventure to romance. Venus trines gentle Chiron over the next few days, inviting you to heal your self-esteem.

The 3^rd through the 5^th the Moon travels through intellectual Aquarius bringing social issues to the fore – just in time for Election Day on the 5^th. This is a challenging day. Mars and Pluto square one another while Venus inconjuncts Uranus. Our values are not aligned and agendas conflict.

The 6^th through the 7^th the watery Pisces Moon soothes spirits and may even feel confusing. 

The 8^th is a special day for forgiveness and unity. Neptune trines the Sun; and Saturn and Neptune sextile. This is a rare connection and won’t occur again until 2031! Use it to bless all beings, forgive your family, and to connect with the Divine.

The next few days are fiery as the waning Moon travels through Aries connecting harmoniously with Venus and Jupiter. Use this time to be inspired and bold.

Veteran’s Day on the 11^th features a rare transit of Mercury across the face of the Sun. Occurring during a Mercury retrograde no less. The Sun represents authority and Mercury represents the message.  Pay attention to insights you receive today. http://www.eclipsewise.com/oh/tm2019.html 

The Taurus Full Moon on the 12^th exposes your emotions and hidden agendas. This is your cue to let go and let God. There are simply some things you can’t control. It’s time to acknowledge the end of a season in your life and to begin a time of deep resting. Again, listen to the message!

On the 13^th you may question reality when Venus squares Neptune. Watch out you don’t over-do on the 14^th when the Moon opposes Jupiter. There’s no need to accuse anyone or blow things out of proportion – not all the facts are available.

The energy is quite watery and emotional through to the 18^th as the Moon travels through Cancer in harmony with the Scorpio Sun. The 18^th to the 20^th the Moon in Leo strengthens your ego and confidence. This may also increase general stubbornness and a refusal to change. 

Early (MT) on the 19^th Mars enters its home sign of Scorpio giving you a regenerative boost and taking your agenda underground. Secrets abound and sexual energy is in the air.

The Virgo Moon over the next few days is both grounding and stimulating and provides a perfect backdrop for Mercury as it turns direct on the 20^th. Amen! Chaos subsides a little as Mercury finds its way again.

Things keep getting better when on the 22^nd the Sun leaves steamy Scorpio for hopeful Sagittarius. Our moods lift toward the coming holiday season whether we want to or not. On the shadow side, Sagittarius believes in its own opinions and we’re likely to see even more fundamentalism over the next 30 days as polarizing parties espouse doctrine.

Please be cautious on the 23^rd through the 24^th. Mars opposes Uranus during this period. This is a difficult and dangerous transit. Stay away from crowds and angry people. Push forward in a difficult project as long as it doesn’t involve sharp objects or weapons. Mars and Uranus connections are associated with accidents and risk-taking behavior. On the positive side, this transit brings a feeling of freedom and exploration. Do something different today.

The 24^th is a most unusual over-the-top day. Loving Venus connects with abundant Jupiter at the Galactic center while later that day Mars opposes Uranus. This is the day to meet a love partner or to go further with the one you love. Be prudent and sensible – don’t let the wild energy of this day lead you astray.

The 25^th is a day to come to your senses as the Moon disappears into darkness and Venus, Goddess of love, enters prudent and pragmatic Capricorn. This is a total energy shift. 

The Sagittarius New Moon on the 26^th (two days before Thanksgiving in the USA) encourages a change in plan, or at least in attitude. With a trine to Chiron and a quincux to Uranus this New Moon opens your spirit and mind to new possibilities. Think about the Big Picture of your life right now because next month Jupiter will leave Sagittarius and enter Capricorn for the first time in 12 years. This will be a significant shift  and you’ll need your vision.

The 27^th is optimistic with a fair dose of tradition thrown in. Neptune turns direct today waking you from the dream and inviting you to remember you’re a spiritual being having a human experience. 

Thanksgiving (11/28) is always a special day but this one, this year, is especially so. Today Mercury trines Neptune for the last time this year. And Jupiter reaches the Galactic Center preparing to leave its home sign, not to be back for another 12 years. Make memories today as the Moon (feelings) connects with Venus. 

The Moon continues to travel through Capricorn through to the end of the month making family your foundation. Big changes are coming. New energy, not necessarily any easier, is on its way.

Remember, you matter. We are all connected, earth is our home and love is our destination.

Hello Dear Ones,

If you like treasure maps and mysteries this is the month for you! In October the energy deepens, and we go into those dark hidden places so many of us don’t want to go. This is thanks to the energy of Scorpio which kicks in full steam when the Sun enters Scorpio on the 23^rd. But, until that happens, we’re under the guiding light of Libra whose main goal is to bring harmony and peace into our lives through the power of relationship. 

The month begins with the Sun, Mercury and Venus in Libra. But very early on the 3^rd (MT) powerful Pluto turns direct from its perch in stern and practical Capricorn. This is your first clue that the energy is shifting and beginning to deepen. It’s time to pay attention.

The next clue occurs on the same day (October 3^rd) when two planets enter different signs. Bright and early Mercury moves into steamy Scorpio and later, Mars goes into Libra. 

Mercury will retrograde in Scorpio during November and the ground you’re covering now may be a point of reflection later, so pay attention to how the month unfolds and what you’re doing so this can be an enlightening period for you. Mercury, as always, keeps us on our toes. Mark your calendars for November 11^th, when it will make a rare transit across the face of the Sun.

In the meantime, over the next week, Mercury will come into an opposition with wild and crazy Uranus making it an exciting time for problem solving, and/or crazy making. Interactions with siblings and neighbors make it interesting. Write, write, write. Catch all those fabulous ideas.

Also, on the 3^rd Mars enters Libra. Mars is debilitated in the sign of the scales. Personal agendas are thwarted and give way to cooperative efforts. We may see this play out on the political stage. 

The 4^th brings prudence and pragmatism with the Capricorn Moon but this all shifts on the 6^th when Mercury opposes Uranus. Sudden changes are possible as are computer glitches and flashes of brilliance or breakdown. Be sure to back up your data before this happens and certainly before Mercury’s retrograde in November.

Be cautious with your financial and love matters. Guard your valuables. The next few days see difficult dealings for both men and women as Mars and Venus make sensitive connections. Values shift on October 8^th when Venus enters Scorpio. Secrets abound as do jealousies. Issues related to women predominate.

Mars opposes wounded healer Chiron from the 8^th to the 10^th sensitizing actions. Use your intuition when making decisions. Cherish the men and the warriors in your life. Values and priorities continue to morph and on the 12^th things change swiftly when Venus opposes change-agent Uranus. 

Energy builds toward the Aries Full Moon on the 13^th. This Moon is a reminder that what you want and who you are is important. With a trine between the Moon and Jupiter expand your horizons! But be careful not to overdo.

Important international and national messages make the news with the Full Moon and especially on the 14^th when the Sun squares Pluto. Structures and authorities are threatened. Leaders scramble for control.  On the 15^th Mercury trines Neptune with some sweet talking in a bid for damage control. Keep your wits about you and watch for inspiration.

The waning Moon settles the energy though the 18^th could be a little over the top as the Moon opposes Jupiter.

On the 21^st love and money matters flow smoothly as Venus and Neptune trine with the watery Cancer Moon. Water predominates now and emotions flow. This becomes more so when the Sun enters Scorpio on the 23^rd leading us into the primordial soup of passion and desire that is Scorpio’s hallmark.

It takes a while to adjust to the deepening waters and the 25^th is particularly tender as the Moon opposes Chiron and the Sun inconjuncts it leading to a balanced plan on the 26^th. The Moon is darkening and stirrings from the unconscious may float to the surface.

The Scorpio New Moon on the 27^th presents a powerful opportunity for sudden and lasting change. The Sun and Moon exactly oppose change-agent Uranus destabilizing relationships and financial matters for good and for worst. You can do marvelous things with conscious intent.

There’s a lot happening at this New Moon! Venus and Mercury are conjunct while Mars squares Saturn. Patient passion for your project or person will win out. Persist!

The New Moon energy lasts over the next few days. It’s a good time to rest and catch up with yourself.

The month ends with a time shift as we “gain” an hour and get our morning time back. Mercury turns retrograde and we enter the festivities, and the pain, of Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Thanks for reading. I’ll see you back here in November.

Your astrologer,

Dulce

Greetings dear Ones,

I thank the turning of the planet for these cooling days and nights. Here above the arroyo where I live, the ground drinks thirstily at the water transported from the river two miles below. The energy of earth and Virgo take us to the Equinox on the 23^rd reminding us that it’s time to attune to nature’s wordless wisdom. Nature will strengthen, heal and guide you. Virgo works through subtle vibration and this is your chance to tune in to the Earth’s healing pulse. At equinox the energy shifts to the balancing scales of Libra. From earth to air, we are lifted toward co-creation with one another.

Be alert this month. Mars is a big player for the first 10 days while the end of the month sees challenging aspects. Mars’s presence invites action. If it makes sense and needs to be done, then do it. No decision is a decision and that takes and wastes energy. Yet don’t be impulsive or aggressive. Mars is in Virgo hanging out with the Sun and Mercury. In other words, organization and matters related to men are paramount. You can get a lot done in a successful manner at this time. Avoid responding or reacting aggressively and stay out of the heat.

Pay attention the first week of September. There is a great deal of planetary action that has everyone’s personal business being everyone’s business. A lot is happening!

On the 1^st and 2^nd there’s a mixed cosmic message. One is don’t over-do (Venus/Jupiter square) while the other, (Venus trine Saturn) says go for it, but in a prudent aesthetically pleasing way. Meanwhile chatty Mercury connects with unpredictable Uranus letting us all know we’re moving in a different landscape. Think outside the box.

Keep your head on and your mind clear on the 3^rd through 7^th as Venus and then thinking Mercury oppose dreamy, and occasionally deceptive Neptune. This is good fantasy-energy, great for art and love, but not grounded in reality. Dream big and embellish your designs. Mercury connects positively with stern Saturn during this time letting you know that you can make your dreams real if you persist and take the time to think practically.

The 7^th brings a lot to deal with. Depth is the theme as Venus opposes insightful Pluto and Mercury opposes Neptune. Confusion and betrayal are possible but so too is soul understanding. Yet the Sun and Mars are stabilized by their connection to Saturn. Think long term. Be practical and prudent and go deep.

The 8^th the Sun and Jupiter square each other while Mars and Saturn connect favorably. This is great energy for moving through difficult things and initiating change.

Keep your head screwed on and your immune system strong on the 9^th and 10^th as the Sun opposes Neptune. On 9/11 Virgo energy reminds us that healing is ongoing. Lots of energy and aggression is possible on the 12^th when Mars squares Jupiter, and on the 13^th Mars opposes Neptune. Be cautious of straining your muscles and be sure to take your vitamins.

The Pisces Full Moon lights up the sky late on the 13^th and into the 14^th and is full of obscuring energy. Neptune is a key player bringing fog and smoking mirrors. It’s hard to know what’s true. Take time to turn inward and listen to the voice of your heart. It will always guide you. Rest.

Hours from the Full Moon both Mercury and Venus leave anxiety-laden Virgo and enter balanced Libra. This makes it harder to make a quick decision, but it does bring a measure of relief. Communication becomes kinder and wiser. It’s good to work with others. Co-creation begins to happen.

Both Mercury and Venus go on to oppose wounded healer Chiron making the 14^th to the 18^th tender days. It’s a good rule of thumb to think about the other person as much as yourself thereby avoiding unnecessary pain. On the 18^th stern Saturn turns direct. Saturn went retrograde at the end of April holding things in abeyance for a while. This direct motion gives you permission to move forward also.

The 20^th is a good day to move past blocks. Mars and Pluto form a favorable angle giving you the go ahead to be bold. This is not the case on the 21^st when Jupiter and Neptune square each other. This energy invites wisdom beyond your own but can be confusing. Be inspired instead as you make friends with the mystery. The 22^nd Mercury and Saturn square bringing you back to earth with perhaps a touch of melancholy. Don’t be sad it’s over, be glad it happened.

The Sun enters Libra early on the 23^rd at fall equinox. Dark and light, night and day are balanced now giving you an opportunity to bring the same balance to your life. Connecting with others expands your life and brings happy possibilities.

The 25^th may feel like another melancholy day as Venus and Saturn square. Do something practical and move through the heavy energy by taking care of your environment.

On the 26^th Mercury and Pluto get into it giving you a chance to ferret out deceit. Avoid power struggles but do get to the bottom of the mystery.

The Sun gets into a little pickle the 27^th to the 29^th as it opposes Chiron and inconjuncts Uranus. This is your chance to reach out and connect with someone else to help both of you grow and change.

The Libra New Moon occurs in the middle of this challenging energy on the 28^th bringing relief and hope. By bringing balance to your life and by celebrating love in all its forms, this New Moon replenishes and restores. Celebrate friendship!

The month ends on a possibly tense note as Venus and Pluto square one another. It’s time to balance and the check book and get yourself back on track. Keep it simple.

By practicing gratitude for all things, we are carried along in the body of hope. I am grateful for you dear reader. Together we are water and earth, river and air. 

Your astrologer,

Greetings Earthlings,

As I write, the Sun beams into my little cabin reminding me that life on Earth is utterly dependent on its radiance. The Sun rules the sign of Leo and Leo is the major player for this month until it changes on August 23^rd to Virgo. Thanks to Leo, you receive your annual opportunity to 1) center yourself bang smack in the middle of your life; and 2) to remember that you are the Creator of your experience. Don’t waste time on silly human drama and ego. Don’t defend your paltry preferences. Open instead to the vibrancy of the pure potential which lives in you and created you.

Thank goodness Mercury is direct as the month begins. We have a green light for go on projects and purchases. Do still check the small print! Mercury is in its shadow period until the 15^th, which means that there may be a little do-over on somethings.

August 1^st carries the joy of the recent Leo New Moon which took place the day before on July 31^st. Love, riches and wonder were bestowed upon us all in a grand way, sprinkling the month of August with magic. Perhaps that sounds a little over the top but that’s Leo. The grandeur, the magnificence! Ah, it’s all too beautiful.

Things may change suddenly on the 2^nd when Venus and Uranus square off. Chance meetings with exciting strangers and sudden purchases may occur. Keep your head screwed on. The Moon in Virgo helps you stay organized over the next few days as it carries the happy seed energy you planted at the Leo New Moon. 

Expansive possibilities abound the 5^th through the 9^th as the Sun and then Venus connect with abundant Jupiter. Legal matters may take center stage. Practice good karma so that this time is joyful for you. Let wisdom prevail as you learn something new.

The so-called Lion’s Gate heightens on the 8^th as Sirius aligns with Orion’s Belt, an event the Pyramids at Giza are said to honor. New Age mendicants believe that the consciousness of Sirius floods the Earth at this time. 

Late on the 10^th the Sun and Venus begin a delightful connection bringing true partnership be it in a creative venture or a romantic one. Lady Luck blesses the skies for the next few days building energy for the coming Full Moon.

The 11^th is a full day. Jupiter turns direct today bringing your dreams to life. Also, today, Mercury re-enters Leo bringing a little za-zam and flare for most of the month. Uranus turns retrograde tamping down fires and letting crazy energy rest for the next five months. Whew! Thank you, Cosmos! But… Uranus remains a cosmic player and continues to bring unexpected growth and change despite its diminished influence.

Meanwhile the drama builds as the Moon waxes to fullness for the Aquarian Full Moon on the 15^th. Venus and the Sun, who have been hanging out very close to one another, play kissy kissy at this social lunation. Mars looks on and it seems as if the whole world has gathered together to celebrate. As always, Full Moons can be a little overwhelming but do take a moment to connect with the human family before disappearing into anonymity, something that an Aquarian Moon likes to do.

At this Full Moon, Mars resonates over Donald Trump’s Mars — the same points activated in the eclipse of August 2017 and February 2018. This suggests to me that Mr. Trump maybe become even more emboldened. The Full Moon sits within a few degrees of the Moon in the USA Sibly chart. The Moon represents the people or populace, so we are all involved in whatever transpires. The Sun and Venus connect at the February 2017 eclipse point, again suggesting another layer of events and occurrences added to that which has been building for some time. 

On the 16^th we see again, another sudden change in direction, this time as Mercury squares Uranus. Talk could be volatile. Words can change things so be mindful of what you’re communicating to others. Brilliant ideas are possible now.

Emotions flow over the next few days as the Moon travels through dreamy Pisces. On the 17^th the energy changes completely when active Mars enters clinical Virgo bringing everything down to earth. You have two months to clean up your act, says the Universe, and with Mars in this orderly sign you’ll be driven to. 

The next few days are quite vigorous as the Moon moves through Aries. Use this time to get going on projects. A refinement occurs to your game plan as Venus enters Virgo on the 21^st. This marks a 24 day  fussy period where standards and criticism, as well as penchant for service, run high. 

The Virgo energy ramps up when the Sun enters this fastidious yet caring sign, on the 23^rd. There’s no room for bad habits and sloth now. Virgo wants you well and wants you clean.

Despite the practical efficiency of these times, romance and partnership continue to feature. On the 24^th, Mars and Venus connect allowing you to combine sense and flare with sophistication. Venus is preparing her “descent” to leave her position as Morning Star to rise in September as Evening Star. Being escorted by Mars in this leg of her journey adds a poignancy to all matters of the heart.

The 26^th through the 29^th see one surprise after the other as Uranus connects firstly with Venus, then Mars and finally the Sun, encouraging positive changes in the right direction. A lot of re-organization can occur during this time. Put yourself to work and be pleasantly surprised by the results. 

Be sure to be clear about your intentions as the month ends. Mars activates the Virgo New Moon on the 30^th. This is a powerful and discerning time. Your right action and mindful choices will grow into what you envision. Be empowered to change your life toward better health. This increases your vibration and makes you a better steward of the earth. Less plastic, more solar power.

May you be blessed, and may you bless others.

Your astrologer,

Dulce

Greetings Earthlings,

July is a month of caution. Mercury is retrograde from the 7^th to the 31^st and there are two eclipses this month. Eclipses act as bookends in the chapters of our lives and if you have a birthday on July 2^nd or 16^th (when these eclipses occur) your life may take a significant turn.

Mercury retrograde invites you to reflect and remember, especially as it traverses back from warm Leo through the watery and emotional terrain of Cancer. Retrograde periods are not good for new endeavors, final contracts or big purchases. Inevitably some little problem emerges later that upsets the whole enterprise. They are good for reflection and reorganizing.

The Sun is in gentle Cancer keeping your focus on home and family through to the 23^rd.  We’re going to need that water root through this time. There’s also a lot of Leo hot-headed competitiveness this month.

The month opens with a lot of celestial activity:

The 1^st, active Mars leaves Cancer for fiery Leo adding a touch of boldness and courage to the next six weeks.

The 2^nd seeds a gentle hope into the wellspring of your life with a New Moon Total Solar Eclipse at 10° Cancer. Allow yourself to replenish and renew at this auspicious time. This is an inner energy, not an outer one. Traverse the waters of your inner landscape with fun.

On the 3^rd, finances stabilize and love dramas settle when loving Venus enters Cancer. This gentle energy carries you through the next four weeks and is an oasis in the rather rocky seas of this month.

July 4^th is full of braggadocio and boasting as the Moon travels passed Mars and Mercury in confident Leo. Avoid fires and live drama. Be bold with your creativity instead.

Mercury turns retrograde on the 7^th and over the next two days makes a conjunction with Mars. This looks and sounds like a lot of boasting and posturing. Political debates and grandstanding seem likely over the next several days. Be mindful of what you promise during this time and try to keep your aggression down.

The 9^th could feel somber and restrained as the Sun opposes stern Saturn. Apply yourself to your discipline and get something done, even if it’s just incremental. A quiet day is recommended to avoid frustration and run-ins with authorities. There’s a strong connection to the transiting soul path at this time so whatever occurs may have lasting influence.

The 10^th feels gentle and compassionate as the Sun and Neptune play kissy kissy. Write, draw, create. Consciously dream.

Be cautious on the 11^th when Mars squares Uranus. It’s good energy for moving through difficult blocks but you need to stay mindful especially if using sharp objects, power tools, or while driving.

Emotional energy deepens and goes under cover with the Scorpio Moon during this time, lightening up when it enters Sagittarius on the 12^th. Optimism abounds, especially on the 13^th when you may want to do it all with a Moon/Jupiter connection.

The 13^th and 14^th could evoke some deep stirrings as the Sun opposes powerful Pluto. Pluto is always associated with shadow. Try not to project your dark side on someone else and be aware of when others are projecting upon you. Rather than getting into a power play, separate from the other and go inwards to contemplate. Projection is when a monkey poops in its hand and throws it at you. One word of advice: duck!

Take that advice to heart at the Capricorn Full Moon partial eclipse on the 15^th. This looks somewhat somber to me folks. Venus and Saturn oppose each other near the nodal axis and Pluto’s not too far away. Be prudent. Take heart. Think confidently about re-structuring. 

The government-type energy of the lunar eclipse lingers over the next few days as does loving Venus’s connection with stern Saturn and the north node. Love hurts sometimes. Love is also forever. Financial matters and the housing market may make the news.

On the 17^th a sudden turn of events keeps things interesting as the Moon squares Uranus. While on the 18^th Venus kisses Neptune. Dreams and love go hand in hand apparently. Your rosy-tinted glasses may come off later in the month but for now, enjoy.

Mercury re-enters emotional Cancer on the 19^th and the next few days are full of memory and family as the Moon also visits water by passing through Pisces.

Communication of all kinds can be heart-felt on the 21^st when the Sun and Mercury connect. Stay tuned to your feelings and the feelings of others but don’t walk on egg-shells. That’s impossible and you know it.

The Sun enters Leo, its most favorite sign of all, late on the 22^nd (MT). Oh this feels so good after all the emotion and possible guilt of the past few weeks. Now comes your time to be a kid and have fun if you haven’t been doing so already. 

The 24^th is a lovely day! Be sure to fully enjoy it as Mercury and Venus connect and Mars and Jupiter resonate. Truth and love are inseparable.

This energy follows into the 25^th and keeps on giving as Venus enters Leo on the 27^th. Courage, creativity and love. Hmmm mmm.

A little overwhelm is possible on the 28^th as the Moon and Jupiter wave to each other.

The month ends with a possible changing of the guard and a glorious New Moon. The Sun squares Uranus and things don’t feel as stable as they did. Allow change but don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. The Leo New Moon late on the 31st promises big love and glory. Be sure to enjoy yourself as you consider what would be best for your heart. Plant seeds of love and joy.

I’ll see you back here in August. In the meantime, enjoy the water.

Your astrologer,

Dulce

So many choices, so much to do. June brings us quickly changing energy and many facets of experience. This month this focus is on Gemini until summer solstice June 21^st, and then the focus shifts to homey Cancer. For the first part of the month you get a chance to explore the environs of your own mind. You get to see inside your own head and marvel.

Things start off on solid ground when the Moon connects with warm Venus, both in earthy Taurus. This bodes well for a month filled with energy. June 2^nd Venus connects in a loving way with powerful Pluto lending depth to your values.

The Gemini New Moon early on June 3^rd (4:00 AM MT) brings a rush of ideas and stimulation your way. There are so many possibilities! Keep your focus on what means the most as the very next day, June 4^th, little Mercury leaves Gemini for loving Cancer. It’s highly likely that whatever seeds you plant will be invested in your homelife in some way. This shift brings a new level of emotionality to the foreground and communications become kinder and more heart centered.

The week unfolds in a measured way until Venus makes a move on the 8^th by entering Gemini (Venus is Gemini’s ancient ruling planet). This lifts our spirits and makes adventure enticing.

Don’t get too carried away though as on the 9^th the Sun, Moon and Neptune square one another bringing a sense of lethargy or even illness. Keep your immune system strong and rest if you can.

Things feel over the top on the 10^th when the Sun opposes abundant Jupiter. Take smaller bites!

The 11^th through the 13^th forgiveness and grace occur as Mars trines Neptune. Suddenly all those dreams seem doable. 

Reality hits the 14^th – 16^th when Mars opposes hard-headed Saturn reminding you that there are limitations. Work toward your goal patiently to avoid frustration. But things don’t stop there – Mars continues on to oppose powerful Pluto from the 16^th to the 20^th giving you plenty of energy and will power to move forward on projects. Mercury jumps into the mix on the 18^th suggesting aggressive talk and/or diplomacy based on nationalism. 

Father’s Day and things are a little fuzzy as Jupiter and Neptune square one another. Ask yourself how much is enough? This is excellent for setting lofty goals and making inspiring plans.

The Sagittarian Full Moon early on the 17^th (2 AM MT) can bring hard news. Chatty Mercury opposes shadowy Pluto. This is great for digging out poison but hard on a relationship. As they say in the South, “no need to dig up snakes just to kill them. Pretty soon they slither out on their own.” Besides, with Neptune involved, no one knows what’s true anyway. Again, keep that immune system strong.

Mars and Pluto face off on the 18^th through the 19^th involving both Mercury and the Moon. This allows for a natural excavation of those deeper levels and hopefully doesn’t mean hard aggressive talk between nations or family members. This best thing you can do now is be kind and work hard. You’ll get a lot done.

Summer solstice on the 21^st, the longest day of the year in the Northern hemisphere, and the Sun’s move into gentle Cancer (10 AM MT). Also today, Neptune retrogrades turning your dreamworld into a haven. The next four months offer you a rich inner landscape.

Venus opposes abundant Jupiter on the 23^rd and both square dreamy Neptune. Another over-the-top energy transit. If there were ever a day for double dessert – this is it! Watch out for careless spending. This energy lingers for the next few days making life fun and full.

On the 26^th Mercury leaves Cancer for creative Leo where it will retrograde July 7^th to July 31^st traveling back from Leo into Cancer. But, for now, we’ve in the clear to move forward on plans.

The month ends with a party atmosphere as Mars prepares to enter Leo to join Mercury. Still, let’s not forget, with the Sun in Cancer now the focus is on those we love. 

July brings us Mercury retrograde and an eclipse. Enjoy the last month of spring, the mercurial energy of the young child Gemini and the loving mother Cancer.
