Chiron in the Natal Chart: Your Chiron “Wound” Isn’t A You Problem
Chiron in astrology represents a pain that we each carry, but is it really ours to carry? Is there really something fundamentally “wrong” with each one of us or with our need and abilities? Or is it that the world fails to embrace our differences or recognize them as gifts?
Pluto square the Lunar Nodes Transit 2023: Ripe for Change
Pluto only squares the north node and south node every nine or so years, and this is a time ripe for monumental change.
This is not a sudden, eclipse-like change. This change is one that was put into motion days, weeks, months, or even years ago, and will likely continue to roll out in the months to come, like a blood-red carpet leading into the future. Whatever is changing, it has been a long time coming.
Mercury in Scorpio: The Hound of Hell (Concentrate)
In a sense, people with Mercury in Scorpio are natural guardians of the underworld, like the mythological Cerberus, the multi-headed dog that was said to guard the gates of hell, preventing the dead from leaving. While Mercury itself is about crossing boundaries and building bridges, this is a Mercury sign that instead aims to keep, block, and protect; rather than building a bridge, it guards the exit.
Mercury in Libra: Words that Close the Distance
For Mercury in Libra, words are connective tissue. Libra Mercury people understand that words were quite literally invented to connect us. Words connect our inner world with other people, so that what is mine can become yours too, and vice versa. Words were invented to help us share what we see with others and to benefit from what others see too.
The 13th Zodiac Sign: Ophiuchus the Serpent-Bearer?
This is a MYTH that stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of what astrology is.
Lilith square or conjunct North Node: Integrating the Inner Animal
People with Black Moon Lilith or asteroid Lilith square or conjunct their north node are learning to integrate their inner Lilith. Topics like rage, nonconformity, sexuality, and the primal, earthly part of the human animal are all important. Lilith is not high and mighty, nor bright and positive. She is murky and sharp and feral. She reminds us that we are not just upstanding human beings but also human animals.
Why Are Libras So Hot?
There’s a line in The Great Gatsby that says: “She laughed again, as if she said something very witty, and held my hand for a moment, looking up into my face, promising that there was no one in the world she so much wanted to see. That was a way she had.” That’s Libra.

What does the world need from astrologers?
Part of being a good artist or thinker or nurturer or lover is knowing what is needed and when. It’s understanding timing, when to strike, when to idle, what space needs filling, where to put your tongue or your hands and when and for how long, and listening.
Mars square Pluto Natal & Transit: The Square of Power and Fear
Mars square Pluto is personal power vs. fear and suppression, or simply power with the volume turned up and turned inward.

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.
