Venus In Taurus: Body and Beauty
Venus moved into Taurus on March 30th, 2026, and will remain there through April 24, 2026, before moving into Gemini.
On a recent spring morning, I lay by a local stream, the sun warm and bright on my face, the rocky bank under my body softened by a blanket. The sound of the stream singing as I close my eyes, enhanced by a cardinal’s bright song. I hear a breeze rustle through the tree leaves, so freshly green with spring. My nervous system calms. My mind relaxes. My body brings me home …
Paradigm Shift: Pluto Enters Aquarius
Pluto will re-enter Aquarius at 6:57 p.m. Central time on January 20, 2024, only to slip back into Capricorn once again in September 2024 and then move direct again by October 2024. I suspect that those months of dipping forward and backward will be a time of upheaval as we see some stark rumblings of a major transition into a new societal era. The old crumbles to make way for the new.
New Moon in Capricorn, 2024
We have a New Moon in Capricorn on January 11 (that’s right, 111!). Capricorn is CEO, get-it-done, make-it-happen, and do it with quality energy.
You Get to Decide
The bottom line is I want to make my astrology offerings as accessible as possible.
We all have different economic situations, and without a doubt, the current economy has made that more challenging for many.
With this in mind, I’m now offering a sliding scale for astrology consultations. I’m also offering more options and changing the scheduling process.
Here are the details …
Taurus Lunar Eclipse: Letting Go
We will experience a Full Moon-Lunar Eclipse on October 28, 2023, at 5 degrees of Taurus. This is a partial Lunar Eclipse as only part of the moon will be visible.
It is the last eclipse of the recent Taurus-Scorpio eclipse cycle and will be a culmination of the New Moon Solar Eclipse that occurred in Taurus on April 30, 2022. Think back — what was happening in your life at that time? You may notice a connection to events or realizations that are occurring in your life now.
New Moon in Libra + Solar Eclipse
We will welcome the New Moon at 21 degrees of Libra at 12:55 p.m. Central time. But this is not just a New Moon — this is a Solar Eclipse! The annular Solar Eclipse welcomes the Fall Eclipse Season. A ring of fire hangs in the sky, the moon a dark silhouette.
A Reckoning: Fall Eclipse Season Begins with the Solar Eclipse
The solar eclipse brings powerful new beginnings. A ring of fire hangs in the sky, the moon a dark silhouette. Even if you can’t see it, this interruption of light can be felt. Magic, mystery. Endings and beginnings.
Mercury and Mercury Retrograde
Find out how the placement of Mercury — that small, sassy, planet skating closest to the Sun — in your birth chart can tell you a lot about why you think and communicate the way you do. Plus, learn how to harness the energy of Mercury retrograde to help you rather than aggravate you!
