September 2023 Emerging into Oneness

September 1, 2023

Dear ones,

I write this as the summer sun moves slowly across the green lawn. The two old trees that grace my backyard are full of birdsong. Sparrow and finch, dove and starling, take turns splashing in the birdbath. The flowers are all abloom, giving their full-throated brilliant selves to the day’s warmth. I water the tomatoes and pluck a Tiny Tim. It pops with glorious flavor on my tongue. I marvel at the gifts of life that surround me and say a prayer of gratitude for life’s generosity and beauty. It is not always so for everyone.

Here in the northern hemisphere, September brings us the energy of harvest via the sign of Virgo. This year it is also a pausing time thanks to both Venus and Mercury retrograde as the month begins. Hone your energy practice. Work daily, even moment to moment, with your etheric field and your heart. Practice your energy skills. Strengthen your abilities and help those who ask you, with theirs. This is what Virgo does. It is the perfection of service. Venus, about to turn direct in Leo, turns your heart directly to generosity and love, creativity and courage. Dare to both ground yourself in Earth’s sensuality (your body and soul) and in the Sun’s (your ego-strength) beaming love.

If we tune into it, we can feel Earth’s energy pulsate in our bodies. This, my loves, is the nature of this time – it is a felt sense, a deep eroticism with Earth’s heart and her pain. We become one with the holy spirit that is the All That Is. 

               And here’s the other thing about this time – a deep and powerful liberation is at hand. The subterranean currents that ripple through the entire planet linking all beings, comes to life as Pluto nudges its small cold body into Aquarius, the sign of the collective. We are an inter-species, inter-connected bio-web. We cannot be separated from each other. Isolation both cools and kills us.

               Friends, you already feel and know that everything is deepening, and that death is ever-present because we are in the middle of an extinction, an anguished time. This sharpens our senses and quickens our spirit-walk. We are part of an enormous, great cycle. The Spirits of love and oneness walk amongst us as we come together in our shared pain and the creaking and groaning of our increasing understanding. We are beginning to organize ourselves, just as Virgo teaches us. We feel the resonating shocks of Uranus the awakener rippling through Earth’s body. Unidentified spacecraft have been seen recently – reading the sky we see Uranus the Sky-God inserting itself into the lunar cycle.

               September opens with the Moon still resonating from her fullness in Pisces, just a few days ago.

The Moon and Mars oppose each other early on the 1st. The Moon is in the newly hatched energy of Aries, and Mars has just moved into Libra where his crackling fire ignites relationship. Self-care is a good idea now. Protect your heart by simultaneously opening it as you root down. Independence can feel wonderful.

The 2nd brings another layer of ego-peeling (ouch) as the Aries Moon connects with Chiron. Consider this a cosmic-salt-scrub moment. You’ll look so good later if you slough things off now.

On the 3rd, Venus turns direct. She will join the Moon on the 11th and will be seen with Mercury on the 21st. She will shine her brightest of this year around mid-month.

September 4th is Labor Day in the USA and is over-the-top (OTT, as my brother says) when the Taurus Moon conjuncts large wise Jupiter and trines retrograde Mercury. Over-indulgence is quite likely as is a deep earthiness. It’s great energy for working in the garden, long naps, deep conversations, and projects that require sustained energy.

Things quicken on the 5th as the Moon connects with wildcard Uranus and enters speedy Gemini.

September 6th and retrograde Mercury is cazimi with the Sun (exactly conjunct) and square the Moon. Protect your mental health. Do something good for your mind. With Venus direct now, your thoughts guide your heart’s direction. Be precise.

September 7th and 8th, the Sun in Virgo favorably connects with wise Jupiter, speaking for the Earth, and from the Earth in the sign of Taurus. These are good days for establishing routine and upgrading your capacities for creative pragmatic productivity.

The waning Moon carries us through gentle Cancer until the 10th when it moves into Leo’s fire.

The pain-filled anniversary of September 11th opens hearts and creates friction as the Moon meets Venus (look to the East at sunrise) and the Sun makes an awkward angle with Chiron. Advanced methods of healing are very simple.

The 12th and 13th the disappearing Moon changes signs and opposes Saturn. Edgar Cayce said Saturn is where “… insufficient matter is cast for its remolding.” (Planetary Influences & Sojourns A.R.E Press, 2010). Your cells understand this.

The Virgo New Moon on September 14th is a blissful union. The Moon is born into fruitfulness in opposition to Neptune’s briny waters and crackles to life in a trine with Uranus. Enjoy this. It is a precious moment in time.          

September 15th, Mercury turns direct at 8° Virgo. This feels like a confident time. Decisions you may have been lingering over become clearer.

On the 16th, the Moon and Mars connect in Libra. Action plans emerge. Partnership lends strength to any endeavor.  

Adjustments need to be made on the 17th.

Energy deepens on the 18th with the waxing Scorpio Moon.

It’s a Cosmic heads up on the 19th when the Sun and Neptune connect with each other in their annual opposition. Your spirit and soul rise but your head must stay firmly on your shoulders.

The cosmic empowerment continues through the 20th when Pluto trines the Sun. A deep transformation is taking place.

Over the next few days, the waxing Sagittarian Moon boosts and bolsters, kissing Venus and touching the Galactic Center.

At not-quite 1:00 am (MDT) on Saturday September 23rd, the Sun leaves Virgo for Libra at the equinox. This is your opportunity to recalibrate to the ancient mystery of our solar system. So begins the entry into the fall months (here in the northern hemisphere). It’s the gateway to the other half of the Sun’s teachings. Make this time special.

You may feel the power of this time especially on the 24th as Mars and Chiron oppose each other, the Sun and Saturn awkwardly connect; and the Moon meets Pluto. Whew! Secrets emerge, independent paths appear. Stay tuned to your breath, do as Thich Nhat Hanh says, “I know I am breathing in. I know I am breathing out.”

September 25th the Aquarian Moon moves opposite Venus and comes to conjunct Saturn when it enters Pisces on the 26th. Sometimes social obligations aren’t easy. And sometimes, social obligations nourish and uplift. Put your inner ear to your inner dialogue.

Allow yourself to both rest and assimilate over the next few days.

At the Aries Full Moon at 4 am on Thursday September 28th, Venus seeks free expression (in exact square to Uranus). Women and love affairs either feel liberated or isolated. Remember, you are connected. We are all one even though there are times when we don’t feel it. Connect to the Divine and its great healing light.

The month ends as the fierce (and lonely) Aries Moon connects with Mars and opposes Chiron. Rapid instinctual action is possible. Remember, it’s never a good time to cut your nose off to spite your face.

September is about emerging into Oneness. It’s a month where you hone your energy skills and practice the courageous acts of truth and love. October takes us into an eclipse landscape. I’ll meet you there.

Remember, you matter, we’re all connected; Earth is our home and love is our destination.

Your astrologer,

Dulce

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

              

August 2023 – Heart centered

August 1, 2023

Greetings dear Ones,

I write this column from my friend’s patio. In the distance, across green fields and humid in the afternoon sun, Mount Garfield presents its angular face. Despite near 100°F temps, I’m back in the Grand Valley for a short sojourn. Venus is descending, withdrawing her beauty from our eyes, and inviting us to retreat also, but not necessarily to hide. Rather, her movement encourages an inner restoration. In the heart-centered sign of Leo, Venus is bold, warm, and creative. The inner fire is acknowledged and kindled. We may return to a meaningful activity, as well as remembering our vows.

I’ve returned to the words of Chogyum Trungpa Rinpoche. Even though I’ve read the same material over and over, I find pearls. These can be held to the light and kept in the heart. The most recent pearl — meditation is a must.

What better month than this one to practice skillful means. Both Leo and Virgo energy prevail. These two unlikely neighbors of the zodiac provide different ways in which we can find and nurture our hearts. We can do this by taking the broadest path of love, joy and compassion. Leo invites us to play but cautions us that drama is possible and can sometimes spin out of control. Human emotion is a great and terrible force. I hope you never get to experience road rage or being betrayed, or having your heart broken through rejection. But you may. We’re human even if some of us originated in the stars. The point is… Leo is the drama of the human experience. “All the world’s a stage and every man a player,” Shakespeare said.

Tap into and feel the Sun’s vibration as the Sun and Venus travel through this heart-centered energy.

The month opens with deep stubborn energy – a Full Moon at 9° Aquarius. The Sun, fierce in Leo highlights the T square with Jupiter in Taurus. It could represent a stalemate of sorts. All parties holding firmly to their viewpoint. Adding an element of karma and precise speech at the Full Moon, Mercury and Saturn oppose each other. It’s truth telling time. Your soul can make great progress if you let it. The ego has a way of wanting to hold on. The sad news is, that the more fixed the mind, the greater the blows to the heart. The heart cracks so it can grow. The heart grows toward greater and greater understanding and compassion so the soul can progress. If we get hung up on the pain and don’t let go – which this Full Moon is showing – we block the flow of love both toward ourselves and others. The earth element has a strong voice at this Full Moon. I like what Thich Nhat Hanh wrote; I think it expresses Jupiter in Taurus beautifully.

“O my beloved,
touch Earth every time you get scared.
Touch her deeply,
and your sorrow will melt away…”

Friends, I’m sure you recognize that this is a great truth.

The message of the Full Moon continues to resonate for the next few days as the Moon conjuncts Saturn and opposes Mercury and Mars during its Pisces sojourn. This may be felt in the body so be gentle with yourself. It’s a good time for prayer (when isn’t?).

Venus is retrograde in Leo the entire month. And on August 24th, Mercury turns retrograde too, in Virgo. Keep that in mind as you journey through these next weeks. The whole cosmic point of this time is to return to your heart-center, to re-discover your path.

As Venus retrogrades, she re-enters the angle of tension she has with Uranus in Taurus. This takes a couple of weeks culminating between August 8th and 10th. This is an unpredictable time. Fortunes may be won and lost. Love affairs opened and closed. Remember, “no mud, no lotus.”

August 12th and the Sun and Chiron kiss. But the kiss is searing and could hurt or heal. This is another ego revealing moment. You might remember one of the four agreements – “take nothing personally.”

August 13th, fierce tenderness is the path — retrograding Venus meets the Sun at 20° Leo today. The Moon is beginning to wane. Let things wind down.

Allow yourself to resonate with the cosmic energies by pausing to breathe. The Leo New Moon approaches and you’ll want to be in your heart chakra for it.

August 16th is an early morning 23° Leo New Moon featuring Venus, still on her retrograde journey and the alluring Ms. Black Moon Lilith. What a mystical time this is! Oh, my goodness! Aslan may appear, accompanied by unicorns. Who knows what could happen my loves, only that it could be OTT, over the top, as my brother calls it. This New Moon is in an exact square with unpredictable Uranus. Anything can happen!  This New Moon is a great time for seeding creative projects, returning to what (and whom) you love, and for play. Heart health and acts of bravery predominate. Romance is fun too!

The Sun moves away from Venus and connects with Black Moon Lilith the next day (8/17). Mars connects with Uranus also. Stay close to your intuition. Intend to live in your heart space through this entire week.

Enhance your immune system over the next few days as both Mars and the Moon oppose dreamy Neptune. It’s okay to not make decisions if you don’t have to. Again, stay close to your intuition.

Be especially mindful of your health when Mars makes a direct opposition to Neptune August 21 to the 23.

The 23rd is a full day cosmically. The Sun enters Virgo today. Happy birthday Virgo! What would we do without you dear Ones! Bless you mightily.

Also on the 23rd, Mercury retrogrades (at 21° Virgo). Mercury will turn direct on September 15th at 8° Virgo.

We’re now in an unusual cosmic environment. Both Venus and Mercury are retrograde, and solar energy has shifted.

A lot can get done on the 25th when Mars trines Pluto. Set your sights on global goals and act locally. Together we can turn this ship around.

On the 26th the Sun and Saturn oppose each other. Look for an illuminating teaching.

Mars enters Libra on the 27th, further changing the cosmic scene. Collaborative ventures thrive under this energy.

The month ends on a Full Pisces Moon. Saturn is embedded in this cosmic alignment, just like it was at the Full Moon at the beginning of the month. Now more than ever, karma applies. Do unto others as you’d have them do unto you is a vital injunction. Keep your act clean. In fact, a detox would be great now. Decluttering is a good idea too. Make this a restful, meditative day if you can.

Well, that’s it for another month, and what a full one. The energy is a tad OTT so hang on to your common sense and pause before responding.  I’ll be back here for September. In the meantime, remember you matter, we’re all connected, Earth is our home and love is our destination.

Your astrologer,

Dulce  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

July 2023 – Precious Gift!

July 1, 2023

Hello dear Ones!

What a month lies before us. There’s the celebration of America’s birthday and Venus’ retrograde. What a combo. First of all, happy birthday to the sweet Cancers out there. We couldn’t do it without you. Thanks for being you!

The month begins with little Mercury conjunct the Sun as the Moon waxes to fullness. It’s easy to be overwhelmed by feelings and demands. Pace yourself and avoid drama (Mars and Venus are both in Leo).

There’s a lovely flow between the Sun and Mercury in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces. Resolution of karma and difficult emotions can occur now.

July 3rd, early in the morning MT, there’s a somber Capricorn Full Moon. In the birthday chart for the USA, this shows up as a desire to change attitudes, especially around sustainability and health (Solar Return has Virgo rising oppose Saturn in Pisces.)  We can see from the recent Canadian fires and the poor air quality in the East cities, that we are indeed all one planet. Our stuff DOES influence others.  If we’re divided and at each other’s throats politically and ideologically, we’re never going to make the changes we need. We can replace failing, destructive systems with efficient healthy solutions. Think about it. And let this Full Moon help you feel it so you can do right actions.

July 4th, and the Full Moon energy continues to vibrate as the Moon conjuncts Pluto, newly returned to Capricorn, promising one more year of same old same old.

The waning Aquarian Moon provides emotional relief over the next few days (5th and 6th). There’s a stubbornness that helps you get things done when it opposes Mars and Venus on the 6th.

Let yourself recover over the 7th and 8th. Especially on the 8th when the Moon meets Neptune in watery Pisces. It’s a good day for gentle pursuits and resting.

July 10th is an energy shift day. Mars enters fastidious, service-oriented Virgo for the first time in two years. The next few months give you an opportunity to bring order to your life.

Also on the 10th, chatty Mercury opposes Pluto letting you in on secret information you may need to act on. Later that night little Mercury enters courageous Leo. Time to get creative! Be strong. You got this.

Mars and Mercury are now freshly new. What thoughts, attitudes and actions feel bright and fresh to you?

The next few days see Venus preparing to not only change signs (only she doesn’t – more in a bit) but also to retrograde, switching positions from evening “star” to morning “star”. The Moon is waning too, preparing to become new. This is fertile ground for reflection. Evaluate your values.

The Cancer New Moon on July 17th invites a profound re-orientation of what feels comfortable and necessary to you. Venus is almost to the end of Leo, bold, confident, perhaps a little spoiled, like a Princess, wanting another piece of cake. With an opposition to Pluto, it’s time to dig deep. What really is best for you? Think about this adage: live simply so others may simply live. We begin the shadow period for Venus retrograde right after this New Moon. We’re also in the activating period (90 days out) of the April 20, 2023, eclipse. In other words, this may well be a cosmic turning point. Pay attention to what you’re thinking about. Banish negativity.

Take heart and find your voice over the next few days as the Moon builds in warm Leo.

On the 20th, the Moon enters Virgo and connects with active Mars. Take the next couple of days to clean up your act. Although you may need longer to fix the messes around you (and in you?) this is a great starting point.  Especially since Mars opposes Saturn now giving you a sense of timing and purpose.

On July 22nd the Sun opposes Pluto. This happens annually and you’ve survived so far. Use the opportunity to once again, dig deep. The Sun leaves the water of Cancer for the fire of Leo as it opposes Pluto. This seems like a great cosmic metaphor for enlisting the help of a midwife for whatever it is you’re birthing.

July 22nd. Drum roll please! Venus begins her sacred retrograde journey. Having reached the tail end of Leo she now turns to go back over the ground she covered since June 19th. Venus retrogrades are not good times for marriage or remodeling. They are times for old loves returning and finishing unfinished creative projects. Venus will turn direct again on September 3rd, 2023.

On the 23rd, Mercury squares rebellious Uranus. A good time for you to think outside the box. Make something new! On this same day, Chiron retrogrades. Healing occurs on the inside. It’s time to let those wounds go.

The rest of the month is full of tension as the Sun, Mercury and Venus come into some form of contact with Pluto. There’s a tremendous amount of Leo energy too. I’m wondering if all this fire means a really hot summer? Or, conversely, with Venus retrograde, a really cold one? It’ll be interesting to see. I also wonder about the price of things. Will rates rise? Or fall? Women’s issues are highlighted, and a woman of high standing makes the news.

On July 27th, Mercury connects with retrograde Venus, and both form an awkward angle with Pluto. It’s a great time to communicate in a loving but firm manner. Avoid drama!

The next day Mercury enters its home sign of Virgo and breathes a sigh of relief. At last, you can get back to business. Keep in mind that Mercury will retrograde in Virgo next month, while Venus is still retrograde making August a bit tricky for planning.

July ends on a serious note as Mercury opposes Saturn.

As always, it’s the perfect time to celebrate. Your life is a precious gift! You are the world and everything that’s in it.

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

Your astrologer,

Dulce

June 2023 – Like a singing bird

June 1, 2023

Greetings Earthlings,

Is your heart singing with the beauty of it all? Birds sing all day long over here, serenading the wonders of life on Earth with their tiny voices.

We are deep in the heart of Kali Yuga, an age of great darkness and despair. The ability to share your love and show your gratitude to the world is masterful and could be the very reason you’ve incarnated at this time. This very difficult time of bombarding news, random violence, destructive wars, and the 6th Extinction.

Did you get that? The very reason you incarnated at this time is so that your ability to love and bless is honed and strengthened. Think about that. Feel it. Rise up into it. Rise into the power of love.

Let the airy energy of mercurial Gemini help lift your spirits. Here’s how June rolls along:

As the month begins, intense feelings accompany the waxing Scorpio Moon. Ideas and emotions aren’t always on the same page. The tension releases with the Sagittarian Full Moon at 9:40pm (MDT) on June 3rd. It’s clear that things are changing. Those who insist on staying the same will struggle against the tide. Be flexible. Open your mind. Think broadly and expand your vision.

June 5th, and little Mercury, the ruling planet for Gemini, connects with its higher octave Uranus. Expect the unexpected and think outside the box. Since we’re experiencing Uranus in Taurus, issues around food, weather, climate change and the health of our soils and water, predominate. Talk about these things. Get involved.

Early on June 5th, gracious Venus leaves emotional Cancer for bold Leo. Put on your party hats, ladies! Venus will retrograde in Leo later this summer, (July 23rd to early September) so it behooves you to pay attention to where you place your attention. It may be an area you revisit further down the road. Venus in Leo prefers bold colors and strong actions so before you think about a big “what the hell” kind of purchase, or love affair, ask yourself if it’s something you can live with in the long term.

As soon as Venus enters Leo, she opposes powerful Pluto suggesting a struggle of some kind. This may take place in Washington, with the debt ceiling (groan!); the stock market, or your local hangout. Notice what emotions arise in you over the next few days. This is especially noticeable on the 7th when the Moon adds its energy to the opposition. And on the 8th, as the Moon opposes Mars. Don’t get your knickers in a knot! Drama is best done on stage.

The Moon begins its last quarter phase on the 9th, with a conjunction with stern Saturn. Let your intuition guide you.

Early on June 11th, Mercury leaves the sensual languidness of Taurus for speedy Gemini. The pace increases.

Around the same time, retrograding Pluto leaves his new terrain of Aquarius to re-enter Capricorn. It looks like the same-old, same-old is back again until late January 2024. Pluto will continue its cuspy dance one more time (November 2024) until moving into Aquarius for sure. This is like buying time, avoiding the societal shifts that are surely coming with Pluto in the sign of humanity, not government (Capricorn) as the latter struggles to maintain.

Tension and change build in the days preceding the Gemini New Moon at 10:35 pm (MDT) on June 17th. This New Moon feels like a fresh start, a rewiring of the nervous system, a way to look at things with new eyes. Take the opportunity to turn what you know on its head and see things differently. Saturn turns retrograde now taking our lessons and learning inside. How appropriate!

But the biggest cosmic news is Sedna, our outermost dwarf planet. She’s just left Taurus for Gemini after her long (11,500 year) orbit around the Sun. Perhaps her sojourn through Gemini will educate us in how we can adapt to the very conditions we ourselves have changed. Her story is one of loss and transformation. It involves the ocean and sea creatures, the very bodies that are now in peril. Any moves Sedna makes are worth noting since her orbit is so slow and long. Check out her story and see how it applies to you personally. There is no doubt, her move is a global message for us all — change or perish.

We approach the magic of Summer Solstice as the Moon travels through warm Leo, connecting with Venus and Mars. What a sight to see!  Be sure to look up just after sunset, which is quite late considering the length of day!

Summer Solstice early on June 21st marks the longest day of the year and is imbued with pagan ritual. How can you celebrate the turning of the wheel?

We are now in Cancer energy. A time to connect with family and other loved ones. A time to feel into your life and cherish the people and goals you’re interested in.

The 25th and 26th, the Libra Moon squares the Sun and opposes tender Chiron. This may feel like a growth spurt, or a wound. Diplomacy helps.

Deep discussions on the 28th and 29th lead to resolution at month’s end when the Moon enters light-hearted, but sometimes dogmatic, Sagittarius. Which would you rather be – right or happy?

Thanks for reading and I’ll see you back here next month!

Your astrologer,

Dulce

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

May 2023 Dig in the containor

May 1, 2023

Greetings friends,

It’s a beautiful spring evening as I write. It’s almost a crime to be indoors, but here I am bringing you the cosmic news for the month of May. And I’m happy to do it. By the time I finish this, the sky outside will be dark and the lamplight warm.

First up is the Scorpio full moon lunar eclipse on Cinco de Mayo. This occurs in the deep rich fecundity of Taurus. Isn’t fecundity a juicy word! The Taurus time of year encourages us to get grounded and focus on our values. I know for me it’s about really listening to the body my spirit inhabits. Taurus is the container for our experience. It’s the ground of our being. As such it deserves attention and care. So, this Full Moon eclipse on the 5th is interesting. It features a retrograde Mercury, and conjuncts rebellious Uranus. Release, baby! Let that s**t go! As I described last month, the slow-moving transpersonal planets are changing signs and if they can change, so can you. Feel what it feels like for you. What’s happening to the container of your body? What are you noticing and appreciating about yourself.

The lunar eclipse is at almost 15 degrees of Scorpio, the middle point, the fulcrum. How much into the depths of sexuality do you want to go? More than that, it’s about transmutation, transformation, snake medicine. If you’re wounded in that way, you may well have snake medicine, which is all about letting go.

At the eclipse Venus and Mars show us that quick, gentle, communication is the key. Easy does it so that love prevails.

The energy shifts considerably on the 7th, when Venus, the Goddess of Taurus, carries a love message into the hearts of all of us, as she leaves mercurial Gemini for home loving Cancer. She’ll stay in Cancer until the first week of June.

May 9th the Sun and Uranus conjunct – keep your wits about you. May 13th, be kind, as always, especially to you. Emotional release continues. Warm water feels really good!

May 15th, Mercury turns direct, but slowly, Taurus fashion.

May 16th: News Flash! News Flash! Jupiter enters Taurus for the first time in 12 years. If there ever were an invitation to re-shape, this is it. This is a good time for a new sense of “container” based on all the self-awareness that came with you from Jupiter’s pass through Aries.

The Moon accompanies Jupiter and becomes new at the last degrees of Taurus on May 19th. This is truly a lovely, lovely time to plant the seeds you’ve been nurturing in your heart. It’s okay to let love in. This is a cherished wise-earth Taurus New Moon.

The very next day, on May 20th, Mars leaves Cancer for valiant Leo. VaVoom! Energy shift indeed. Get your integrity on! Mars immediately opposes Pluto until the 21st. Power to the people? The signs are all too clear. We’ve been seeing them for some time, but I think future transits involving Pluto newly in Aquarius after a helluva’ long time! are going to reveal the condition of the human family. Social change is upon us.

Just after midnight on the 21st, the Sun leaves the warm body of Taurus for the feather flight of Gemini; preceded by the newly hatched Moon already developing into sign of the twins. The Sun’s annual move from earth to air, turns your attention to many things at once. Gemini heightens your powers of observation. Tune in, take notes.

The Sun trines with Pluto for the next few days. Deep insights are possible. Connections are vital and exciting. Avoid danger.

May 24 and 25th, keep your wits about you once more. The Moon meets Mars (look up to see!) and both oppose Pluto. Stay drama free. Open your heart and stretch your back.

May 27th and 28th is a bit of a bumpy emotional ride. Chin up.

The month ends with a balanced Libra Moon. Equanimity is restored again. You are love. Never forget that. In June we’ll explore Venus in Leo and what that means for later in the summer.

In the meantime, let that s**t go. And remember, you matter, we are all connected, Earth is our home and love is our destination.

Your astrologer,

Dulce

 

 

 

 

 

April 2023 – Fresh Start!

April 1, 2023

Greetings Earthlings,

Outside, the wind sweeps seeds along, migrating plants and trees in their smallest form. This evening it spontaneously snows again. What a wild spring this is! On my desk lies a flyer for Earth Day, Saturday April 22nd. Our local Citizen’s Climate Lobby group is sponsoring a ditch clean-up day, an idea I’ve been thinking about ever since I got here, seven months ago. Ditches run along the biking trails and ducks live in them, along with way too much trash. It’s exciting and empowering to actually do something useful. I’m pumped. Being pumped is an Aries feeling. I’m also excited about my new adorable, functional office in Montrose and am able to see counseling clients in person!

It’s Aries time, perfect for new projects. The innocence of Aries tells us anything can happen. We can pull on waders and get in a dirty ditch and pull out disintegrating plastic. We can make new friends and try new things. Aries wants new ground to explore. Give yourself the gift of action. Give yourself the gift of a fresh start.

And wow, what a month April is! An eclipse (cosmic doorway) and Mercury retrograde (reflect and renew) are two of the interesting cosmic phenomena headed our way. Read on to see why a fresh start is just the thing you need.

We start the month with slow moving planets in their new spots. Saturn (lessons/karma) is now in the spiritual sign of watery Pisces for the first time in 29 years; while Pluto (transformation) is now in social and egalitarian Aquarius for the first time in 248 years. This is a zeitgeist shift, friends. A new way of thinking and being. See why that fresh start is key? If big, old planets can change, so can you!

Early on April 3rd, little Mercury enters earth-based Taurus. It’s time to get out in the garden! Something we’ve been longing to do here in Western Colorado, but the weather has been capricious and cold, snowing every other day, and we haven’t been able to indulge our earthy desires. Hopefully, now we can! This is also your annual cue to slow down. Mercury will retrograde at 15° Taurus on April 22nd, Earth Day. It will turn direct May 14th at 5° Taurus. Find this area in your chart and consider lingering. Consider slowing way down to take full advantage of this reflective transit.

April 4th to the 6th are sensitive days as the Sun meets with the healer Chiron. Keep your immune system strong and rest. This is Full Moon time too and things may feel overwhelming.

April 5th, 10:35 pm MDT, the Libra Moon waxes to fullness and reveals much about relationship (Libra) and autonomy (Aries). Personally, after death and Covid, I find alone time over-rated. Companionship is valuable to me. Let’s see what this tender Libra Full Moon reveals to you. The Sun makes a conjunction with wounded healer, Chiron. Chiron brings an intuitive, helpful energy if you tune into it. As always with Chiron, feelings of rejection are possible when our blind spots are made visible to us. If yours are shown to you, simply nod in gratitude. Getting too self-involved won’t help you grow.

Just about midnight on April 10th, gracious Venus leaves her home sign of Taurus, for speedy Gemini. Friendships, short trips and long phone conversations are in order for the next month. Venus will retrograde in Leo later this summer, but for now relationships and connections are full steam ahead.

Also on April 10th, the Aries Sun meets with abundant Jupiter, also in fiery Aries. Surges of independence are possible. Personal wisdom meant just for you streams in. Take notes! Think big! Plan a trip.

April 15th, and Vesta, guardian of the hearth and the Goddess of sacred sexuality enters earthy Taurus. Tap into the Earth’s sensuality. Plant something.

April 19th at 10:12 pm MDT, is a total eclipse of the Sun at the last degrees of Aries. Mars, which rules Aries, is in gentle Cancer. Let this cosmic opening help you release ego attachments. Feel into what you’re holding onto and let it go. There’s no need to intellectualize this process. This is a feeling time. It’s about being human and getting hurt and holding grudges and over-identifying with states of being. Let me give you an example — let’s say a friend said something mean to me and I’ve disliked her ever since. I’ve judged her. The dislike and judgement created emotional blocks. Love was not able to flow toward her. I created an identity for her and one for me and they were opposed. By dropping the story, I can release it all. What freedom! Try this at the New Moon eclipse. Aries New Moons are about fresh starts, and this is an eclipse too. Eclipses are open doors. Wow!

A couple of hours after the New Moon eclipse, the Sun enters Taurus along with the Moon. The next thirty days is your annual opportunity to find your grounding rod. Taurus folks receive a blast of cosmic energy.

Over the next few days, little Mercury approaches its higher octave Uranus but retrogrades on April 22nd (Earth Day) before reaching the crazy-wisdom these two can be.  

April 22nd, Earth Day is an exciting opportunity to celebrate life. Connect with neighbors and find common ground. It’ll be easy, as the Moon in Gemini connects with Venus.

The week ahead continues to reverberate with the New Moon eclipse and the fresh start you gave yourself. With Mercury retrograde, take your time. Explore the new terrain of your innermost being.

The month ends as the Moon waxes to fullness, preparing for a Scorpio Lunar Eclipse on May 5th.

It’s always a good time to remember that you matter, we’re all connected, that Earth is our home and love is our destination. Be brave and keep your mind and heart open. 

Thanks for reading.

Your astrologer,

Dulce

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

March 2023 – Let the Games Begin!

March 1, 2023

Greetings Earthlings!

It’s windy as I write. Trees wave their limbs and the geese flying over, honk their opinion. We’re deep in the heart of gentle Pisces, the end of the end. On March 20th, at Spring Equinox here in the northern hemisphere, we switch to Aries and the beginning of the beginning. That movement is important to all of us, and especially to you. Pisces holds pieces of ALL of us, while Aries is fiercely independent and puts the focus on you, your life, your path, and the people in it.

The month of March is a transitional month. Big cosmic moves this month dear friends, as two slow-moving planets change signs. These changes invite a zeitgeist shift for the entire globe. On a personal level, let yourself evaluate what’s happening in your innermost world. Be brave enough to look at your hidden thoughts and behaviors. And then, as the energy shifts to Aries, shake the past off and look forward with intention.

Here’s how the month rolls along:

March 1st to 3rd, keep your eyes open and practice self-love. It’s a good time to be your own best friend as a wave of Aries energy lights up the cosmos. You can see the conjunction of gracious Venus with abundant Jupiter just after twilight. This is a particularly tight conjunction of these two bright planets. Check them out – look up! What you won’t be able to see is little sensitive Chiron, also part of the conjunction. It’s a great time to look at your finances and your love life. It’s possible that something is healing.

The afternoon of March 2nd, little Mercury leaves its conjunction with stern Saturn and enters watery Pisces beginning a period of reflection. Meditation, prayer and art are excellent pursuits while the planet of communication travels through this most insightful of signs, until late on March 18th.

The Virgo Full Moon on March 7th is an opportunity for healing and release. This could be a time to fast and cleanse. Think of Virgo as the Everglades of Pisces. All the stuff you’ve been holding onto can be released with this Moon. I like to practice strict mental hygiene with Virgo energy – what will you do to clean up your act?

Just a few hours into the Full Moon, Saturn enters Pisces for the first time in 29 years and stays until February 2026. This is a significant shift for humanity. What was going on for you in 1994 through to the beginning of 1996? This was the last time Saturn was in illusive and ephemeral Pisces. Saturn invites learning and the resolution of karma while Pisces offers forgiveness and compassion. Spiritual growth is highly likely over the next few years. If you don’t have a reflective/spiritual/meditative process, this is a good time to develop one. It’s also a great time to kick an addiction. I’ll write more about Saturn in Pisces as the year rolls along. in the meantime, remember your integrity is worth more than silver and gold.

March 10th through to March 14th Jupiter and Chiron form an exact conjunction. These two celestial archetypes go way back. Let the next few days bring awareness to your life, especially to the blind-spots you keep tripping over.

March 16th through the 17th, are gentle dreamy days good for poetry and prayer. Mercury meets with Neptune and the Sun. Keep your immune system strong and rest if you need to.

March 16th, your trail period is over! Mars reaches the end of its shadow period and begins to traverse new territory. Also on the 16th, Mars’s girlfriend, Venus, leaves Aries for her home sign of Taurus. Get grounded and comfortable.

Communication shift occurs as little Mercury leaves dreamy Pisces for autonomous Aries. It’s time to think and act for yourself. Putting yourself first is like breathing the oxygen on the plane so you can help the person next to you. It’s not about being selfish. That feels very different.

March 20th, the Sun enters Aries at Spring Equinox. This feels like a fresh start. And it is! Especially since the Aries New Moon follows the very next day on March 21st. Wisdom pours in with this lunation. This New Moon reminds me of the Hierophant in Tarot. Insight and knowledge help put your feet on the path that is right for you. Pay attention and do something that acknowledges that you’re leaving the past behind. Give yourself the gift of a true fresh start.

March 23rd and drum roll please! Powerful Pluto leaves structural Capricorn for social Aquarius and prepares to stay for the next 21 years. As Marie Antoinette said the last time Pluto was in Aquarius – “let them eat cake.” Social movement, refugees, scientific resolutions. Large groups of people joining together to heal this planet and stop the madness of war and greed. We have the next 21 years to experience this energy. Think about the area of your life where you connect with others, particularly your friendships. How can those relationships transform? What is the next layer of your social development? What kind of community or tribe do you see yourself living in as time goes by?

March 25th and frisky Mars leaves dualistic Gemini for homey Cancer. Cancers and Capricorns get a cosmic vitamin shot. Attention turns to your garden and home projects. Connections with family members, especially male ones, may increase over the next several weeks.

March 26th brings both insight and tenderness as Mercury and Chiron conjunct. What is it you’re learning about yourself right now?

The month ends on a bold Leo Moon and a Venus/Uranus conjunction. Changes are likely no matter how stubbornly you hold on to the status quo. Lighten up a little.

I’ll see you back here next month for even more exciting cosmic news, like the remarkable total solar eclipse on April 20th at the very end of Aries. Wow! What times we live in. Hang onto your hat and your consciousness, the winds of change are a blowin’.

And remember, you matter. We’re all connected, Earth is our home and love is our destination.

Your astrologer,

Dulce

 

 

 

 

 

February 2023 End in Order to Begin

February 1, 2023

Greetings Earthlings!

I’m still buzzing with Mars, how about you? It’s direct now and traveling back over the Gemini ground it first covered starting on September 4th of last year. It will move into new terrain at the Ides of March and enter home-loving Cancer on March 25th. In the meantime, your job is to put the pieces together. After all, Mars’s journey through the most flexible, and perhaps schizophrenic of signs, did its best to reveal your inner conflicts. What did you discover? How can you integrate what you learned? This is the challenge for the month of February.

February begins with all planets full steam ahead. There’s nothing stopping you from moving forward, except of course, this is terrain you’ve already gone over thanks to the recent Mars and Mercury retrogrades and may feel quite familiar.

The Sun in Aquarius brings social gatherings and collective conversations to the foreground. Saturn, the original ruler of Aquarius, spends February traversing the last degrees of Aquarius before entering silky Pisces. Let this be a time of accounting for you. What does your karma with the group look like? Are you living up to your social and/or intellectual responsibilities? This type of inquiry prepares you for the next two plus years of trying to create order and sensibility (Saturn) in the primordial ooze of Pisces. In other words, get yourself right with your spirit. Align yourself with the light!

Pluto is also preparing to move to another sign, the very one Saturn is exiting! The planets are letting us know that we are indeed all connected and it’s a good idea to work together. Pluto will enter Aquarius a few days past spring equinox.

The Leo Full Moon on February 5th highlights your need to create and to be fully alive. Make love, write poetry, act in a play, paint with wild colors, celebrate! In a tight square (angle of action) with change-agent Uranus, some thing has to give. Change wants to happen. Why does the climate have to change when we are perfectly capable and able of making the necessary changes? Remember, Uranus is traveling through Taurus. Taurus is earth energy. Our values and our Earth are shifting under these skies. What is changing for you?

February 10th, and little Mercury connects with powerful Pluto. Tell yourself the truth. The next day on February 11th, Mercury enters scientific Aquarius and demands proof. These claims, what supports them?

Valentine’s Day is very nice. Venus in gentle Pisces meets Neptune in the same sign. They conjunct on the 15th making the most compassionate aspect of all. It’s all about forgiveness and release.

On the 16th, the Sun and Saturn meet toward the end of Aquarius. This Cazimi aspect invites mastery of that particular aspect of your life. Where in your chart will these two meet? In that spot lies the invitation to up your game and bring a level of sophistication to your life.

Late on February 18th, the Sun enters the gentle waters of Pisces. Here are some Piscean images for you in my poem, “I Feel the Pisces of Me” about my Pisces ascendent.

I Feel the Pisces of Me
Old barnacles and thick white coral,
The bottoms of old ships.
Detritus from the seabed
Where low slow fish lie
Moving blind through the icy murk,
And yet it is deep,
And pure.

Very early in the morning on February 20th the Moon is born anew at the annual Pisces New Moon. A short while later, gracious Venus drops the compassion of Pisces for the independence of Aries. Here is a cosmic clue — compassion includes space for you and your process. Let the imaginal cells of your fresh start have all the support you can give it. It’s a time for prayer and dreams, meditation and service. Be sure to include you!

The month continues with little Pisces energy. Most of it has shifted to Aries, already, eager to get out of the starting gate and move fast. Be mindful of your actions and willpower as wise Jupiter is moving into a conjunction with sensitive Chiron on March 11th. Venus will slip between these two during the first week of March. Aesthetics and love affairs can heal or hurt under these skies. Regret doesn’t feel good, so take the last week of February to intuit your way forward. Use the vitality of Aries vision with Pisces spiritual knowing to make the right decisions for you.

Hold the truth of all things in your mind as you traverse this month – everything is impermanent. You are going to die. Get yourself right with you. A new age approaches, a new time, a different way of being.

Thanks for reading, and remember — you matter, we’re all connected; Earth is our home and love is our destination.

Your astrologer,

2023! Zeitgeist shift.

January 1, 2023

Greetings Earthling!

Here we are! In 2023! And there are many cosmic changes in front of us, dear Ones. We enter the year with both Mars and Mercury retrograde – an invitation to ease mindfully into the year. The demarcation between one year and another is not a clear line, it’s a flow state. Giving you wings is Jupiter in the first sign of Aries. This is a chance at yet another beginning. Set your intention and keep it fresh throughout the coming year. You will need it.

In 2023, powerful Pluto enters social Aquarius for the first time in 250 years. This is a zeitgeist shift. A paradigm rearrangement. There are also four eclipses this year on the Aries/Taurus and Libra/Scorpio axis. I feel that life’s basics direct our attention to their preservation. Clean water and air, energy, food, relationships are key factors of our lives. Do what you can to minimize your carbon footprint and above all else, travel through this world with peace in your heart.

Here are the key points for 2023:

March 3rd to March 17th, is a tender time. Chiron and Jupiter conjunct in Aries, with Venus there at the beginning. Ego checks, willful action leads to harm, things may hurt before they get better. Great wisdom is possible. Self-awareness increases.

March 6, 2023, Saturn enters dreamy Pisces for the first time in 28 years. What conclusions can you complete over the next two and a half years? How can you develop your spirit and your faith? What does water mean to you?

March 23, 2023, Pluto enters Aquarius, the sign of the people. Human migration due to war, famine and climate change. (We need to change, not the climate!) Social unrest in response to exploitation and greed. Vast global cooperation on the things that matter. Scientific innovation. Power to the people. Team spirit!

April 19, 2023, a solar eclipse at the tail end of Aries. Use your vision to secure the foundations of your life. What does starting fresh mean to you? Is your willfulness getting in your way? Ground yourself in simple, healthy action.

May 5, 2023, a Full Moon eclipse at 14° Scorpio, with Pluto newly in Aquarius and retrograde. Uranus is present, reminding us that change is well and truly upon us whether we want it or not. I feel that this eclipse is a cosmic reminder that the only thing that goes with us is the state of our souls; all else falls away when we leave this mortal coil.

May 16, 2023, Jupiter enters earthy Taurus for the first time in twelve years. The lives of Taurus and Scorpio folks are magnified.

This year, Venus retrogrades too. She’ll make one of her mysterious turns creating her five-pointed star from July 23 to September 3rd. Like all retrogrades, it’s a cosmic invitation to pause in the present moment. Usually, Venus retrogrades are associated with a withdrawal of love and beauty. Since this occurs in Leo it suggests the tamping down of drama and hero worship. It makes me think that a famous woman may fall from grace. Or perhaps it may be a time to turn toward your own juicy creativity.

October 14, 2023, Libra New Moon solar eclipse at 21°. This New Moon and Mercury oppose tender Chiron. Relationship is so important whether with friends, family, lover. It doesn’t matter. The same principles of trust and clear boundaries remain. Get your act together and practice peace.

October 28, 2023, Full Moon lunar eclipse at 5° Taurus. Lots of Scorpio, Mars and Jupiter energy present. This is deep energy. Sexuality, secrets, desires, passion and revenge. Allow yourself to enter the shadows of your own darkness to find the gold that lives there.

As usual, Mercury retrogrades three times this year. Mid-April to mid-May; late August to mid-September; and mid-December to early January 2024. These dates are approximate. Read my column each month for specifics.

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto all go retrograde in 2023 too. I’ll write about them as they occur. Stay tuned!

And now… the month of January.

The focus on Capricorn energy takes our attention to the structure of lives. Riding on the waves of the mystical Capricorn New Moon, we understand the power of our creative force. Just what am I making in this world, right now? Honestly friends, speaking as a mere human, I find this time to be important. I like to use it: do my taxes, focus on my roots and/or my business. But mostly this time is about what you’re doing with your time – your days and nights. It’s your understanding of the reality you’re creating; your relationship to reality itself. Good luck with that!

January 6th is the annual Cancer Full Moon. Mars and Mercury are both retrograde and Venus is newly in Aquarius. Uranus trines the Sun and Mercury bringing a little frisson of excitement. It’s a good time to take care of business, especially any emotional baggage you may have. Go through it and let it go. Rest is good.

January 13th, Mars turns direct. Things start to get moving again. It’s a last quarter Moon so consider how you want to move forward from here. We’ve been on an inner journey since late October and now, like a little plant reaching for the sun, we see the light of what could be.

January 17th, little Mercury turns direct at 8° Capricorn, in a perfect angle of tension with Mars in Gemini. Put your thinking cap on. Be sensible about the choices in front of you. Use your inner wisdom. Tell yourself the truth.

January 18th, the Sun meets Pluto. Get grounded. If fears come up, release them.

The Sun enters star-stirrer Aquarius on January 20th. Guys, I get a quiver of excitement when I see this chart. The Sun’s entry into this most collaborative and yet rebellious sign, precedes Pluto’s entry in just a few months’ time, right after the Spring Equinox. Mars is direct at 8° Gemini after being retrograde since October 2022. The Moon and Mercury are conjunct at 8° Capricorn. That’s nice symmetry.

Enough Astro*babble. The point is, it’s a go. Just go. Just enjoy yourself.

The very next day, on January 21st, there’s an Aquarian New Moon. Venus and Saturn are conjunct, Mars and Mercury are direct. It’s okay to commit to love. To a new direction. New friends and groups are forming. Give your gift.

Let’s chat about Aquarius since it’s big news this month and this year.

Aquarius energy has sometimes been tough for me since I have Saturn retrograde in this most social of signs. I feel a responsibility, a type of diligence, to the group. It shows up in me writing this blog. It’s for you ostensibly, though I get a lot out of it. This is the nature of Aquarius – giving our gifts to one another. The way in which we organize ourselves into tribes. It’s also about looking at the situation objectively. Science, baby!

Aquarius does not hide from issues. It asks, what are the problems? The JWST telescope had over 300 identified problems. There were that many things that could go wrong. Teams went through each one. This is the best of this Aquarian Uranian/Saturn axis – active problem solving and creative technological solutions. Think of kids around a STEM project. Here’s hoping that Pluto in Aquarius will enhance our ability to pull together to do what we need to do to solve the many problems we have.

January 26th, after hanging out with stern Saturn in Aquarius for a few days, Venus gratefully leaves for Pisces. Here she is unbounded, full of dreams, and capable of great love.

The month ends boldly. Pace yourself. Tend to what is most important. Take care of your friendships. And remember, you matter, we’re all connected; Earth is our home and love is our destination.

Your astrologer.

December 2022 – time to integrate

December 1, 2022

Greetings Earthlings,

Can you believe that we’re almost through this year? 2022 will soon be in the rearview mirror, and as my brother-in-law likes to remind me – we only look in the rearview mirror 10% of the time. The most valuable thing we can do for ourselves at this time (always, really) is to remain present. The gift is in the present. Sagittarius energy is a cosmic teacher and uses the present moment as a vital tool.

In the present moment, I am writing about a cosmic event in the future while simultaneously having an epiphany about my life which occurred in the past. Therein lies the multi-faceted nature of Sagittarius and Gemini.

While the Sun travels through Sagittarius, highlighting its opposite sign of Gemini and activating both Pisces and Virgo, a great illumination of the changeable nature of who you are is revealed. Perhaps you are a twin? Or perhaps there is a twin flame in your life, or one is about to enter it. Perhaps this twin is an aspect of you.

We start off this month with a waxing Moon. The Sagittarian New Moon the day before Thanksgiving (Nov 23) infused the globe with light and optimism. The prevailing truth-fire of Sagittarius burns away the duality of its opposite sign, Gemini. With the bright focus of the Archer, we’re able to set our sights beyond conflict and destruction, beyond greed and divisiveness. The invitation is to rise up, to see further and to hope. As one old activist said, “be hopeful, it leads to action.”

Without hope, there’s despair and despair is apathetic. And apathy is a killer. It does no-one any good. This is fire time which is action time. Inner and outer action. Connecting with others, sharing ideas, doing something that makes things better, not worse. This is a personal CHOICE as well as a collective one.

For some time now, there’s been talk about us transcending this tormented 3D world. We’re doing our best to move to the 5th dimension where there is no time. This place is the New Earth. It exists as an overlay atop the one we currently live in. Like parallel realities. When you pray or mediate, when you’re in a state of peace and love, you’re in the New Earth.

Abundant Jupiter, Sagittarius’s ruling planet, is now direct. There is forward movement, however, active Mars is still retrograde. Two steps forward, one step back? Maybe, but more likely the drive to transcend our foibles is stronger than the urge to regress. We are very ready to evolve. You can feel this in yourself. You want inner liberation.

This is tested at the Gemini Full Moon on December 7th (9:08 pm MT) where the Moon and Mars are exactly conjunct at 16° Gemini opposite the 16° Sagittarian Sun. The presence of Mars gives both energy and a warning. In Gemini, there are two minds, two opinions, perhaps a conflict. Can you use this energy to identify, or maybe even integrate, your inner (or outer) conflict? If that seems like too much, then it’s best to lie low and let this megastorm of a Moon pass by.

On the other hand… Ms. Venus, who recently moved one of the tentacles of her five-pointed star, is at the Galactic Center during this Full Moon. What on Earth? Exactly! Messages of love and wisdom stream into our consciousness at this time. Make time to listen in via art, mediation, writing etc.  Truth is coming through, people. It’s landing in your hearts and minds. Illumination is the gift of Now.

Meanwhile, back in the Cosmos, little Mercury (entered Capricorn the day before the Full Moon) encourages us to be practical, to think long term. Mercury will retrograde in this most earthy sign at the end of the year.

Late on December 9th, Venus also enters Capricorn, turning our attention to that which endures.

On the 19th, the Sun connects with the Galactic Center, the most mysterious wormhole of our galaxy where a perennial event horizon occurs. This occurs around this time every year affording us a glimpse  of eternity. Can you imagine it? Eternity? Open yourself wide. Move aside the rigid beliefs and opinions – we’re entering sacred space.

December 20th, wise Jupiter re-enters Aries. At last – the beginning is here again! Jupiter crossed this point once already earlier this year but whatever fresh starts you made may have been delayed… until now. Get ready to plant the seeds of hope and transcendence at the coming New Moon. The wisdom and insight you need is available to you.

The afternoon of December 21st the Sun leaves Sagittarius for Capricorn and the turning of the light at winter solstice. This is another powerful, magical occurrence as regular as life itself. Find a way to celebrate it.

And now… drum roll please… the one and only Capricorn New Moon of the year. December 23rd early in the morning (MT). This fresh start occurs at the very beginning of Capricorn suggesting that whatever new things we’re thinking or putting together will require attention and care. Think about building something enduring from the ground up. That’s what this New Moon is about. Building something new, from the very beginning. With five celestial bodies in earthy, pragmatic Capricorn this New Moon puts your focus on the most practical and sensual part of your life. Don’t forget that Mars remains retrograde in Gemini: it’s possible that this fresh start feels familiar to you. In an exact square (angle of tension and action) with learned Jupiter, it could be an invitation to test the boundaries you’ve placed on your life.

Christmas Day and the Moon, newly in social Aquarius, invites you to open your mind.

The month ends as Mercury and Venus approach stern Pluto. Insights and possibilities exist. As always, stay tuned to your inner voice. Mercury turns retrograde early on the 30th. We’re going to enter 2023 with two retrograde planets. Do you need to go back a little before going forward? There’s gold and grief in what came before. Take the time to understand and integrate that in this present moment.

Thanks for being with me this year, in all my changes. I so appreciate your readership. If you want a reading for 2023, please reach out. And remember: you matter, we’re all connected, Earth is our home and love is our destination.

Your astrologer,
