March 7, 2023 marks the start of Saturn in Pisces, after five long years of Saturn in Saturn ruled signs, Capricorn and Aquarius. Saturn times are about to change, and this new ride of the planet that represents the limits of the reality that can be perceived by ordinary consciousness, is about to be traveling in a place where boundaries are a foreign language. Anything is possible in Pisces, it is both an ending and a beginning, it is mystic. It is surrender in the purest form to something bigger and hard to fully understand. So Saturn, the planet of containment, boundaries, and reality, will be in Pisces until May of 2025, with its bag to bring back dreams in. So to prepare for this period, let’s explore Saturn in Pisces in the form of a Thought Experiment: Open your mind and imagine the following:  As a Swiss geology professor, Jost Winteler often hiked in the alps. Over the years, he had witnessed several people fall off steep mountain inclines, and he reported being horrified at w

Pisces New Moon happening on February 19th or 20th depending on where you are on the planet is being hyped as a pretty important new moon. For people who engage in more new age topics, Pisces new moon is an open portal allowing people to dive into an objective dream-like spiritual realm where new age stuff is one of the native tongues. But sometimes it gets too obvious, and cliche. Pisces new moon is a time of major spiritual awakening!  Another spiritual awakening? We must really be deep in sleep if we need so many spiritual awakenings, huh? With this new moon in Pisces being hyped as a way to ‘blast open your third eye’ , despite that being a possibility for some people, in general, that seems like a lot of pressure to me. This new moon is quite lovely, with exalted Venus along for the ride, and Neptune the modern ruler still floating around in Pisces of course. Pisces is known for being one of the most spiritual, beautiful and boundless signs of the zodiac. IS pisces new moon good f

  The Venus Neptune conjunction in Pisces 2023 is the beautiful merging of two planets representing some of the more lovely aspects of being human on earth - love, sensuality, beauty, imagination, divine love, dissolution of boundaries and merging with others.  You may hear that Venus conjunct neptune times are ones of illusions, be careful if you fall in love during this time, it may not be as good as you think…honestly, that may be a potentiality, but I don’t like that astrological advice. First of all, beautiful moments in life can be few and far between, and falling in love, or indulging in fantastical thought, or letting your creative imagination leave you with ecstatic goose bumps are the sweet joys of life. Why in the world would anyone tell you to break that spell early to be aware that this may not be what you think it is - take off the rose colored glasses, kid. No. I say keep them on and bask in the rosy glow, saving the precautionary thinking for later if you even need it.

Caliuga?  I woke up with that word repeating in my mind this morning, like a message on an old answering machine.  "Caliuga. Caliuga. Caliuga." I had no idea why this word had called, and could not remember what it even meant. Was it a yoga pose? I put the word into Google, our great collective hive mind, and at first Google asked, "Did you mean Caligula ?" ("Cruel and tyrannical Emperor Caligula ruled Ancient Rome through fear and terror. Rampaging through Rome committing murder, adultery and acts of debauchery, his reign came to an abrupt end when he was brutally assassinated after only four years.") No, Google. I mean Caliuga . The phonetic way I typed in the word, brought up another option (Sorry Caligula, maybe some other time).  Kali Yuga.  Yes, that is what I am hearing. Kali Yuga.  It is so familiar, but I cannot remember. What is it? According to Yogapedia (Yoga's baby with Wikipedia I believe), Kali Yuga is part of Hinduism and is the fourth

  When Mercury contacts Pluto, it is not ‘bad’. It is just another tile in the astro-mosaic of a fully lived life. It plays out differently for each person - remember the bell curve of astrological experience - everything depends on your own chart. And this video, in the end, is a message of reality, transformation, and ultimate truth brought to you by a Mercury Pluto contact. We are going to talk about five things that may happen during a Mercury Pluto conjunction, and how you can make the most of this time as a co-creator of your life.   When Mercury conjoins Pluto, it happens once a year, and you may start feeling this way about a week before the conjunction, as it builds, and for another week afterwards as it separates. You can find The exact dates for Mercury Pluto conjunctions coming up in the description below. remember, a conjunction is when two planets join as one entity on the same zodiacal degree. The meanings fuse and blend into one.  Here are five things you should be awar

Are you ready to go deep?  Mercury conjoins Pluto on February 10, 2023 - a conjunction is when two planets combine their energies, and merge into one on the same degree of the zodiac. So Mercury, the planet representing communication, thought and perception, becomes more Plutonic, and Pluto the planet representing the process of breakdown, creating, regeneration and transformation, becomes more mercurial. With this transit, in the week leading up and up to a  week after, leave some space in your life for deep introspection, and the path of transformation within your mind.  This conjunction happens for the last time in Capricorn, where these two planets have been meeting up since 2008. Starting in 2024, we are coming into a new cycle, and the next mercury pluto conjunctions will be happening in the sign of aquarius until 2043. This is the last free dive into the capricornian depths, where our minds can see beyond the surface of the Capricorn transformation we have been experiencing.  Bo

So driving along on this incredibly windy road, a song comes on, and I recognize the voice, but it takes me a moment to place it.  Oh, It’s Carley Simon - she’s ok. I get ready to skip the song, but by the time I let her sing long enough to place her voice, I get caught by her lyrics, and I start to really hear them. It dawns on me that she’s singing Mars Square Venus. She’s singing the transit.  First some quick foundations: What is a Square? It is an aspect of 90 degrees between two planets. Square aspects bring some form of tension, friction, or conflict and are action-oriented. They are of the nature of Mars. Mars and Venus are the archetypes of the masculine and feminine energies (remember that book Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus? I wonder if that has aged well, lol)  Mars square Venus is a time when people may try to assert their individuality in a relationship, and any successful relationship is one that requires balancing the needs and desires of each person to achieve
