The Power of the Mars Return in Astrology
When Mars returns to the sign (and especially the exact degree) it was at on the day a person was born, action, momentum, and vitality rise. There is more energy available to us, surrounding us, and flowing through us.
Solar Eclipse in Aries on April 20th, 2023
Our first eclipse of 2023 is a solar eclipse at 29º Aries on April 20th. This eclipse also makes a catalyzing, out-of-sign square to Pluto, really revving up the cosmic engine to generate some extra heat and inspire change. With this eclipse, the celestial foreplay of this spring continues and becomes a more intense edging, if you will.
Understanding Mercury Retrograde Transits
During Mercury retrograde, we are naturally compelled to slow down, rest, review, and integrate. It’s when we take it easy, move a bit slower, and think back. And we have to laugh at the messiness, confusion, and general absurdity; Mercury retrogrades remind us to have a sense of humor — life doesn’t always have to be so gloomy and serious, and things don’t have to run smoothly all of the time.
Natal Mercury Retrograde: The Brilliant, the Bizarre, and the Blockages
For people with natal Mercury retrograde, the planet that acts as the liaison between the sun (self) and Venus (relationships with others) is behaving differently from what we expect. Strangely, even. These people simply express themselves differently. They take a different approach to communicating, translating the inner world into something the outer world can understand, and processing information from the outside world. This can be beautiful, and it can be challenging.
Saturn in Pisces Transit and Natal
With Saturn in Pisces, we’re not struggling to build nor struggling against the past. Instead, we are letting things dissolve, move, and change. We’re trusting. Accepting. Carving out channels for our waters to flow through and things aren’t quite so serious. No Saturn transit is “easy”, but this feels like a breath of fresh air.
Your Astrological Gift Guide for 2022: Best Gifts for Every Zodiac Sign
While looking over the gift list I crafted for the people in my life this holiday season, I suddenly noticed that something like three quarters of the gifts on there aligned eerily with the recipient’s signs. Obviously there are few things that cut right down to the marrow of who a person is like astrology does, but it still got me feeling pretty pretty stunned? So I decided to create an entire gift guide to share with y’all.

South Node in Scorpio, North Node in Taurus: A Skull Crowned with Roses
Scorpio south node attempts to keeps itself safe by scanning for danger. The north node in Taurus knows that safety doesn’t grow from fixation on turmoil, destruction, danger, and all that is hidden. Instead, Taurus—ruled by Venus—fixates on creating opportunity for pleasure and wellness. It enjoys the simple pleasures in life – art, food, sex, the Earth.
Black Moon Lilith in Astrology
In astrology, Lilith can represent how we’ve been demonized, cast out, scorned, hated, feared, disrespected. She represents what we’re hated for, the things about us that other people find threatening about us, and oftentimes jealousy. When we talk about Lilith we often talk about themes of chaos, shame, sexuality, rage, and fear.

April 2022 Full Moon in Libra — Forecast + Horoscopes
Not a single justice can be corrected until it is stared in the face. The Libra full moon, square Pluto, is a moment of opening eyes and asking for what is right, sifting through relationship wants and needs and realities, remembering that we only exist because others exist and others only exist because we exist, and committing, once more, to wedding ourselves to what really, really fucking matters most.

New Moon in Aquarius 12º February 1st, 2022: THE STILL CENTER
Aquarius has an incredible meditative quality to it – a unique ability to be very still (it’s a fixed sign ruled by slow-moving Saturn) in the middle of a noisy crowd (Aquarius is an air sign) and not lose its center. We see some of the worst of Aquarius when it loses that still center and gets swept up by the crowd, morphing into just another head on the Hydra.
The North Node and South Node in Astrology: The Secret Key to Life (A 4-step Guide)
The north node and south node (the “nodes of fate”) represent a high-strung polarity that we’re learning to better balance, a polarity that is always in flux, wobbling and swinging like a pendulum. Neither the north node nor south node is whole on its own; they need each other.
