Current SIDEREAL placements. Sidereal is different than traditional tropical astrology because it’s based on where the planets actually ARE in the constellations:

Sun at 28 Sagittarius

Venus at 15 Aquarius
Mars RETROGRADE at 2 Cancer (Fall, no Mars magick)

Monday, January 13, 2025: Full Moon at 28° Gemini (sidereal), at 2:27pm Pacific. This week will show culminating experiences in our communications, thinking, mindset, and social groups. Gemini is talking and socializing, so get out and have some fun! Also, Full Moons bring peak experiences from the energy that’s been building over the previous two weeks. The focus now is on finding our inner truths, and looking at the big picture of our lives. Maybe you need some time in solitude so you can reflect on what’s working in your life, and what you need to release so you can live in your truth.

Try to avoid confrontations or risky situations though, since the Full Moon is conjunct the planet Mars – actually blocking his light in the sky.

Venus will be approaching Saturn this week, arriving exactly conjunct on Saturday, January 18th. This aspect is powerful, and will bring a seriousness to our relationships and creative projects. It will encourage us to get organized, disciplined and responsible with regards to art, music, groups and socializing. It could also support the folks in LA to begin the path of rebuilding their lives into a structure where they can flourish. Saturn rules houses, plans, structure, stability and focus. Venus also rules women, and the conjunction with Saturn can bring up worries and pessimism about relationships. Saturn demands that boundaries be respected and that communications are authentic. People need loyalty and space with this aspect. If you need to have a heart to heart with someone, speak carefully, with restraint and respect.

Uranus is stationing over our heads for several weeks, bringing many changes in direction for each of us. Uranus liberates from limiting ideas and relationships – he sets us free. Where do you need freedom right now? How might new communities help us? Try something different. Take a detour or go to a completely new place and see what happens!

Friday we had a New Moon at 15° Libra sidereal. It’s a new beginning for our relationships, friendships, and creative pursuits. New Moons turn the page and give us an opportunity to start over and set new intentions. The new lens for this month is a focus on relationships of all kinds. Maybe you need to reconnect with people you haven’t seen in awhile, or maybe you need new friends. You can reset things now and change your focus.

If you’ve never had your true chart done using sidereal astrology, you can book a reading with me here.

Venus rules the sign of Libra, and unfortunately she’s not in a great position in the sign of Scorpio. In fact, most of the planets are in challenging signs OR retrograde, so now is a time to get organized rather than doing planetary Magick.

Mars and Pluto are in perfect opposition too at 4° Cancer/Capricorn. This means confrontation and potential violence. I don’t want to overly alarm anyone, BUT it’s best right now to turn the other cheek and avoid trouble with other people. This will be happening through the election and for much of November. On the good side, Pluto demands evolution and reformation, so you can rebirth yourself powerfully. Mars opposition to Pluto can move mountains and help you do the impossible, calling upon inexhaustible resources of energy. As an evolutionary planet, Pluto ultimately demands evolution and this may be a key theme over the next four weeks.

Current SIDEREAL placements. Sidereal is different than traditional tropical astrology because it’s based on where the planets actually ARE in the constellations:

Sun at 14 Virgo
Mercury DIRECT at 15 Virgo (exalted)
Venus at 15 Libra (rulership, good for Venus magick)
Mars at 20 Gemini

We have moved into October, placing us firmly in harvest season! TODAY we have a New Moon Solar Eclipse at 15° Virgo. If you have any planets in your chart near 15° Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius or Pisces, they are being activated in a big way. If you’ve never had your true chart done using sidereal astrology, you can book a reading with me here.

Mercury is there too, conjunct the Sun at 15° Virgo. This is an exceptionally “Airy” new moon. All the energy is focused on language, the Mind, communication, honesty, truth, writing, community and focus. However, because it’s an ECLIPSE, the energies can be blocked. We need to take a step forward in a brand new direction today to access the gifts of this cycle. With the energy happening in Virgo, organizing our lives, rolling up our sleeves and getting to work are the best uses of our time.

Mars in Gemini is also throwing immense energy into the mix, since Mars is “drive” and Gemini is another Air sign. In Gemini, Mars lets go of his armor and becomes a social butterfly, focusing on communication, solving puzzles and battles of strategy. People with anxiety might need extra support during this time, because Mars adds electricity to our nervous system. A good place to focus your attention is on freedom and liberation. Where do you need to set yourself free? Let yourself off the hook? Have some FUN and adventures? This transit is spectacular for studying a new subject, or applying your mind to solve any type of challenge.

On Tuesday we had a Full Harvest Moon/partial eclipse at 1 Pisces. This is an intense couple of weeks because the Universe is insisting we let go of the past, so we can move onto a new path in life. This week’s Full Moon in Pisces dramatically activates our commitment to our new life too, because we have to face obstacles and limitations.

Along with activating a new life path, the Full Moon in Pisces brings peak experiences to our spirituality, inherent gifts, and progress. What are your priorities, and where do you really want to go?

The nature of Pisces is intuition, music, the ocean, creativity, and humanity, and these things will be at their highest within each of us.

Redefine yourself, but put yourself in alignment with the true essence of who you are.

We begin this week with a New Moon in Leo, which occurred Monday at 15 Leo, and continues to unfold throughout the week. Begin new projects involving creativity and self expression. Leo is the most powerful of all zodiac signs, because it is the only one ruled by the Sun. Now we get to play around, be childlike, explore beauty, be romantic, goof off, create art and be physical. It symbolizes our souls, and their EXPRESSION, along with a feeling of togetherness.

With the Sun in Leo, we revel in our true identity, and practice new ways of expressing it to the world.

Lion’s Gate

Lions Gate Portal: 8.8.8

08.08.2+0+2+4 = 8

LION’S GATE Portal 2024

Today is the Lion’s Gate Portal, a day with a numerological line up, 8.8.8, that coincides nicely with the rise of the star Sirius in certain parts of the world. It’s a mystical day that only occurs when the digits of a year add up to eight – on August 8th. There won’t be another one until 2033. To maximize the energy of the day, it’s good to indulge in your creativity, focus on what you’d like to manifest, and heal psychological wounds that have to do with your sense of identity.

Occurring on August 8th, when the year digits add up to eight, the day is considered a window, or portal, into enhanced awareness that lies beyond our usual perception.

I read that the ancient Egyptians used the movement of the star Sirius to know when to begin their harvest. This is great time to leave old patterns behind and work towards the future manifestation of what you want in your life. The 8th house in astrology is Scorpio, and represents our raw, hidden, personal powers, along with our ability to transform ourselves and our reality. Leave behind what not longer serves.

…this has nothing to do with the mythological and highly inaccurate fad known as “The Lion’s Gate.” Originally, “The Lion’s Gate” portal, as it is known today, was something that happened rarely, and does not occur annually. The essence of it lies in numerology. In past years when the portal actually occurred, it was because of a certain numerical rhythm: August (😎 8, XXXX. I leave the year blank in the explanation because this is where the real magick comes in. The Lion’s Gate Portal occurs every year that the month, day, and years added together total eights across the board. So, for example, August 8, 2015 was a Lion’s Gate year (8/8/8), and the next one coming up is two years, on August 8, 2024.

This is considered an auspicious time, because the energies that are available to us are of the nature of the number 8. Depending on what you work with, the number eight can be seen as the number of magick (Creating reality in line with your vision for it), the planet Mercury and all its correspondences, or the very essence of energy that is sometimes known as prana. As you can see, there is nothing here that corresponds to physical manifestations, but rather a portal to higher energies that can help us shine brighter, more creatively, and more positively in our daily lives, and then put us in a position to share that light and warmth with others.

Coupled with all of this is the fact that the eighth day of the eighth month is close to the rising of the star Sirius, which has a profound role in ancient history. It is not the rising of the star, though, so this correspondence is dubious and arguable at best. In the time of ancient Egypt, Sirius rose around the end of July, and even though the rising of the star has changed over the centuries, the other factor to consider is that Sirius rises at different times based on where you are on the planet. These factors tell us that for the most part, Sirius does not always rise on August 8th, and many times not near it, to boot.

I share this explanation of the Lion’s Gate because I remember before it was ever a thing, and I have watched it since then. Early astrological discussions about this are worth the read if you bother to dig, so if you want to know more, the truth, as they say, is out there.” – Bill Duvendack

Week of July 21st: Full Moon at 5 Capricorn

Sun at 5 Cancer
Mercury DIRECT at 1 Leo

The full Moon yesterday was conjunct Pluto, and it demands we connect with our shadow sides. It’s an earthy, Saturnian, Capricorn Full Moon conjunct Pluto, which has us drill down and get honest about our lives. This powerful event is likely to expose uncomfortable truths and bring up unprocessed pain from our past that is now ready to be felt and acknowledged. What’s the reality of your life, and what needs tending to? Is something blocking you from moving forward?

If it sounds heavy, it is. Capricorn is a disciplined sign, and there’s no goofing off. It demands hard work in order to earn rewards. This is the fruition of what’s been building this month, and it engages Pluto: the planet of shadow and transformation. We will end the month in a different place than where we started. The energies of this Full Moon will unfold over the week ahead as well as the next six months. We will have peak experiences with our ambitions, career, and personal story.

The Capricorn Full Moon is especially relevant for those of us born with planets in the early degrees of Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn). This Moon gives opportunities to recognize the deeper lessons behind repetitive cycles and patterns we continuously get caught in, bringing the spotlight on unprocessed past pain that needs their presence and attention.

Also, the Moon is in her detriment here – uncomfortable, heavy, and unable to express herself. Authorities will be rigid and uncaring. Energy is hard to get off the ground, control issues arise along with power struggles.⁠⁠

Week of July 15th: Mars conjunct Uranus

Leave a reply

TODAY, July 15th, 2024 we have a conjunction between Mars and Uranus, just 1/2 a degree apart, at 0° Taurus.⁠ This is a significant aspect that last occurred in 1936! Because it’s at the start or seed of Taurus (0°), current developments will set the tone for awhile.

We are finally getting “unstuck”, and energy is opening up! If you’ve been in limbo in some corner of your life, you’ll find renewed energy and clarity about how to move forward.

This aspect could lead to sudden changes and shifts, especially in areas related to Taurus, such as money, values, and environment.

Thus in fear and trembling the Superior person sets their life in order and examines themself.~ The I Ching (hexagram 51) 

⁠⁠This conjunction gives us the courage to stand up and stand out; to demand the freedom to live your own life. It is a restless and excitable aspect. In an atmosphere in which many are feeling stuck, Mars/Uranus can be the catalyst to get us un-stuck, and to see things in a whole new light.

We had a New Moon at 20 Gemini last Friday. Every New Moon is a new beginning, and this one brings a change in attitude. The urge to get out and socialize will be strong, but a trine with Saturn asks us to keep our boundaries and practice self discipline too. This New Moon is great for activities requiring mental fortitude – especially study. Focus on simplifying your life.

The difficult news, is Mars traveling through the end of Aries and burning us all up in the process. This transit brings extreme heat, fires, battles, explosions, eruptions, and general drama. I’ve never experienced this current two week long heat wave before in my life. Every day we have temperatures over 105° and it’s overwhelming. I’m sad for the future of our society and planet.

There are some lovely sextiles happening this week. The first, between Mercury at 14 Cancer and Jupiter at 14 Taurus. While Mercury isn’t happy slogging through Cancer, we can focus our attentions and communication to our financial security during this time. The most interesting sextile, is the one between Venus and Uranus both at 0° Cancer and Taurus respectively. This is a complete reset in our relationships and friendships; but with Uranus in the mix, some events could take us by surprise. Be thoughtful and speak sincerely.
