Last week’s big news was the guilty verdict in the Trump trial. I predicted the verdict date of May 30 when Mercury and Uranus met at Donald Trump’s midheaven (MC) square his Mars. The MC is the most public place in the chart, and a communication shock that enrages a person is on the brand. I was too nervous to predict the verdict as there was a foggy Neptunian haze over the trial chart. I recorded a YouTube video that details the astrological influences at play.

Trickster Mercury landed in its Gemini home on Monday, where it can easily express its energy. Have you had to do things twice? Gemini is a doubled-body sign that enjoys repetition. We have an extra boost to clear, deliberate thinking and speech until June 17. The caution is not to get too scattered this mutable air sign is easily distracted by shiny objects.

 I am thrilled to participate in the Stardust Mystical Faire at the Breathing Room in Alameda on Saturday, June 29th, 1 – 5 pm. The address is...

Last Saturday was expansive Jupiter's annual meetup with the Sun. It's considered the luckiest day of the year. The Sun's annual embrace is called the cazimi. Death and rebirth symbology are present as old stories are burned off. Jupiter rules religious figures and judges. It educates, broadens, and takes us on long journeys, including to the river Styx. The Sun governs leaders, and it focuses our attention.

On Sunday, the theocratic President of Iran and his top diplomat died in a helicopter crash on a trip to see a dam during bad weather. Jupiter in Taurus translates to a huge Earth structure. The Sun was harmoniously sextile foggy, watery Neptune in Pisces. Astrology is literal. On the same day, the Venus-Uranus conjunction met Israel’s Sun. Was this an accident and a surprise gift, as the power vacuum could lead to instability?

President Raisi, the Butcher of Iran, was a hardline religious leader, a judge, and a descendant of Muhammad, The Son of a Preacher Man...

The Taurus New Moon invites us to slow down, get embodied, and focus on the practical. This is a much-needed shift after a super intense eclipse season. I encourage you to focus on one or two intentions about what you want to bring to fruition.  Taurus, being a fixed earth sign, encourages us to focus on what is sustainable over time. This lunation is conjunct Uranus, promising awakenings, sudden events, surprises, and reversals.  Can you be flexible and wear the world loosely? To dive deeper into these insights, you can now purchase the recording of the New Moon workshop.

Apologies for being late with the blog.  I have been tangled in the transits and Mercury retrograde delays. I am honored and delighted to present Moon Mastery™ for the Organization of Professional Astrology (OPA) Retreat in Park City, Utah, from Oct 16 -21. The early bird pricing was extended until May 15.  It is going to be a phenomenal event.

I could write for hours about all the Apr 20^th Jupiter-Uranus conjunction events, but I will focus on a few.  These aspects do not happen in a vacuum. On April 19^th, persuasive Venus and communicative Mercury retrograde met in fiery Aries. Together, they collaborate and negotiate. On April 20, the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction at 21 Taurus arrived. Jupiter rules wealth, aid, legal affairs, college campuses, horses, and celebrities.  Uranus rules aviation, revolts, reversals, and...

My view of astrology is that the planetary patterns do not cause anything; they reflect what is happening here on Earth. As above, so below. Part of my work is being an astrological correspondent, explaining what happened and indicating what may come next. I do this for the news and my clients with my work.

While the solar eclipse is exciting for many, there are challenging transits. Any hesitation, do not go. If you travel to see it, be prepared for delays, reversals, and cellular breakdowns. Storms may be worse than expected with Mars and Saturn conjunct in watery Pisces. I suggest you have plenty of food, water, and a fully charged cell phone, and don't let your gas tank get below half full. Consider bringing adult diapers. I am kidding, but not really.

This eclipse is conjunct Chiron, the wounded healer. For insight into healing the wound based on your natal chart, join the solar eclipse workshop on Sunday. Also, Aries rules the eyes, if you look at the eclipse make sure...

A few spots remain in the Transits class I am teaching for Kepler College. Class begins on Saturday, April 6. If you know the basics and want to deepen your ability to create a forecast of upcoming events, this class is for you.

There is beautiful energy with Venus exalted on her throne in the compassionate sign of Pisces. Remember, mercy blesses the one who gives and the other who receives it. Venus is separating from an opportunistic sextile to abundant Jupiter to one with Uranus, the Great Awakener. This planet is a wild card. I hope the lunar eclipse surprises bring you joy. 

 Libra rules diplomacy, the arts, culture, marriage, and judicial matters. Lunar Eclipses bring exposure. We already know several of the stories.

• The US diplomatic crisis with Israel may come to a head soon. The Biden administration warned Israel not to proceed with a military action in Rafah. The eclipse is happening in the public 10^th house of the USA natal chart conjunct the MC (government...

Apologies for the late newsletter. I am thankful for the abundance, but my workload overwhelmed me over the last month. The next week is a time of release.

My work is changing in surprising ways. I am getting clearer psychic downloads. My progressed ascendant moved into Virgo, and it is bringing the details. Stories are coming. It is absolutely wild. I am on a Fool's journey of new beginnings. With an Aries Moon, I jumped in and made predictions on Threads. Aries energy encourages us to take calculated risks, be brave, and pioneer new paths. I am making my own map,...

Celestial Insights Podcast listeners know that I forecast a big event would likely occur in the USA during the First Quarter Moon phase between Feb 16 and 23. The Moon at 27° Taurus was conjunct fixed star Algol, the beheading star, square the Sun at 27° Aquarius. Multiple ancient cultures noted that catastrophes occurred when Algol was activated. The amplifying North Node was on this star when the Ukraine war began. It is also associated with...

The expansive and innovative Jupiter-Uranus conjunction is getting louder as we move closer to April 20, when it perfects. My story includes broadening (Jupiter) my reach by teaching astrology (Uranus). Astrology is literal; they meet on my natal communicative Mercury in my 11th house of groups and organizations.

Happy Full Moon in Leo, the sign of joy, self-expression, generosity, and confidence. This lunation on the axis of self-expression vs. the collective is powerful. Leo is a fire sign, and its energy invites us to have pride in our talents, encourage others to shine bright, and be passionate about our creations. You can read my first published article about the Aries Ingress for the Evolving Astrologer Magazine.
