  We launched December with a Gemini Lunar Eclipse on November 30 and that's only the tip of the iceberg as we shift from the everyday details and interpersonal communication to charging into the cosmos. This Lunar Eclipse shapes the first two weeks of December and we can even lay low during this time. However, we're about to go into hyper drive and a mass awakening for those who have ears to hear and eyes to see. Here are a list of the major and some minor transits rocking our world this closeout month of an intense year. December  14--Total Solar Eclipse at 23 degrees Sagittarius This mutable Fire Sign eclipse brings us warmth and buoyancy during a cold and dark time (at least in the northern hemisphere). It reminds me of that song, "Great Ball of Fire," and it reminds me of hot air balloons parading across the sky. Sagittarius represents seeing the bigger picture from the perspective of our higher mind. Where there was despair, this eclipse brings in hope, faith, a

Since I'm an astrologer you probably wonder why I came up with the title, The Truth about Zodiac Sun Signs. First, I believe astrology as a metaphysical and even psychological tool works well for people on a journey of self-exploration. Second, in my years of studying and working with astrological concepts, I've learned the difference between entertainment and true metaphysics. And finally, I've learned that even though there are kernels of truth embedded in astrological entertainment such as horoscopes and the Sun Signs, astrological entertainment gives astrology a bad reputation. The more logical personalities want astrologers to back up their work. And there are astrological historians and researchers in the academic realm who fit that bill. However, the problem with placing astrology in the academic realm is it causes most peoples' eyes to glaze over with boredom. It involves statistics and dry data, hardly the stuff for the average consumer of alternative spiritual

  As we have reached the last quarter of 2020, I'm revisiting the Saturn-Pluto conjunction that occurred at 22 degrees Capricorn on January 12, two days after the Lunar Eclipse at 20 degrees on the Cancer-Capricorn axis. In 2020, 22 degrees of any Cardinal Sign has played a significant role as you will see from this article. I like to think of 2020 as the year that shifted our consciousness and shaped new realities, even against our will. I will be pulling up several charts of what I think were the biggest players in 2020 which are Saturn, Jupiter, Pluto, and Mars. I'm not even going to talk about the six eclipses, the change of signs for the North Node, or Uranus in Taurus even if those transits are also shaping our new reality. Although I will say that Neptune has played a major role with government leaders gas lighting and spreading misinformation about an infectious disease that mainly kills elders (all those planets in Capricorn). Please note that the last pandemic, the Sp

Image by Valgerd Kossman, Pixabay For many astrologers and astrology followers, Chiron isn't a big deal. However, for me, Chiron possesses the whopping power of any planet with its orbit between Saturn and Uranus. Perhaps, people don't want to acknowledge Chiron because this wounded healer takes us to places we'd rather not go. Chiron in Aries Direct If Chiron direct brings up childhood wounds for readdressing and resolution, then Chiron retrograde takes us deeper into the wounds. Whether or not people even realize the existence of this asteroid they still carry childhood wounds within them that disempowers them. To heal the shadow wounds is the quickest road to the mastership of the self and the quickest route to liberation. Until we heal those Chiron wounds we fall prey to old programming and we might as well become automatons instead of human beings. As I mentioned in previous posts, Chiron is in Aries, which represents the infant, spring, an

pixabay Well, this is the time to have a Cancerian Sun, Moon, or Rising Sign, especially if you feel that your life has been stagnating or if you wish to resolve mother issues. That is because the Solar Eclipse and Solstice are at 0 degrees Cancer on June 20-21 (depending on where you are in the world). The entire world is feeling abandoned like a motherless child...but that's about to change. And prior to this powerful Solar Eclipse, Mercury goes retrograde at 14 degrees Cancer on June 17. And if that's not enough, on June 27, Mars transits into Aries where he will remain for six months and take us into 2021. In addition, let's not forget that Saturn and Jupiter remain in Capricorn until December, and Pluto remains in the sign of the mountain goat until 2024. So, let's break this all down. pixabay First, let's look at the Mercury retrograde in the sign of Cancer (June 17 until July 12). During this slow retrograde, Mercury only trav

12 Moons and Moods  (Following the Moon through its Monthly Transits) Have you ever noticed that on one day, you experience boundless energy and the urge to roam free? And on another day, you feel like cocooning in your room reflecting about recent events?  And why is it on some days, sending off resumes happens easily and effortlessly, while other days, you procrastinate and allow your mind to wander off in daydreams? The Moon transits through all 12 Zodiac Signs each month and stays approximately two days in each sign. And each sign has its own signature, themes, and mood. The Moon, which is actually a luminary and not a planet is mysterious by nature. The Moon is the ruling planet for the Zodiac Sign Cancer. People born under this sign shift moods easily and you can actually tell what sign the Moon is transiting by observing your Cancerian friends. However, everyone is affected by the magnetic pull of the Moon and the sign it beams its light. So, let

Wiki Images June 27 to January 7, 2021 Like it or not, Mars transits into Aries on June 27 and remains in Aries until January of 2021. Mars will be in its own sign and also the sign where the asteroid Chiron is currently residing. While eclipses won't be stirring up Mars in Aries, Mars will go to head with Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto.  We could even return to some of the themes that came up when Uranus transited in Aries from 2010 through 2018. As a Cancer Sun person with a Capricorn Ascendant, I'm not looking forward to this Mars transit. And as I write this post, Mars is in soothing Pisces which bodes well with me. I suppose it is only fair for Aries-dominant people since the North Node was in Cancer for a year and a half which must have felt like smothering mothers to Aries who want to strike out in the world and put their swords to the test. And to be honest, we all have 12 Zodiac Signs in us even if we have no planets in all 12 signs. Since we on

Pixabay.com If 2020 didn't already launch off in a powerful way, Pluto launched retrograde season on April 25. And in May, Saturn goes retrograde on the 10th, Venus on the 12th, and Jupiter on the 14th. Then on June 23, Neptune goes retrograde in the midst of eclipse season. Boy, oh, boy! Retrograde planets have a way of reversing events or taking collective inward. Each planet represents different themes and natal houses on a Zodiac wheel. However, on a personal level, we look to the signs that the planets retrograde and the houses in the natal charts that they occupy. The most powerful transits occur in the angular houses (1, 4, 7, and 10) because those houses represent the major areas of our lives including, our self-identity/body, home/mother, partnerships/legal contracts, and the public/career/father. The Fixed Sign houses (2, 5, 8, and 11) represent our values, hobbies, the arts, risks, sex, death, birth, taxes, other people's resources, our res
