I am in Park City, Utah, at the OPA Retreat to teach Moon Mastery™ this week under the light of this Full Moon. This town is lovely; if you ever visit, New Park Resorts is a gorgeous property with excellent staff. My townhouse has a hot tub on the deck! Feels magical. My 5-week Transits Class for Kepler College begins on Oct 27; the class is limited to 35 participants; if you want to join, please don’t hesitate. Respond to this email with any questions.

She rolled an apple into a party for three goddesses to debase themselves in a fight over who the fairest of them all was. Kamala Harris entered the lion’s den and held her own in a civilized...

The upcoming astrological events, particularly the first of three corrections as expansive Jupiter tensely squares restrictive Saturn on August 19, December 24, and June 15, 2025, are significant. Jupiter, symbolizing ethics, freedom, wealth, and expansion, is in a tense square with Saturn, the planet of tradition, structure, punishment, and contraction. It is a perfect time to trim the excess, as the pressure is set to build over the next two weeks.

Jupiter governs judges and foreign places. President Biden’s proposal for term limits and binding ethics rules for Supreme Court judges aligns with this transit. Success in the multinational coordination for the prison swap is also on point. This energy helps us bring the bigger picture to realistic results, but the path may be difficult. Reality checks, getting sober, starting new health regimes, accountability, and financial belt-tightening are an energetic match.

Capricorn, the ruler of structures, ambitions, big business, governments, traditions, and older people, is in the spotlight. The 29th degree, a point of crisis and decay, is significant. When a planet reaches 29º, it holds the entire energy of the sign, ready to burst before changing signs. The Moon’s conjunction with Pluto intensifies the crisis. Notably, Joe Biden ended his reelection campaign and endorsed Kamala Harris during this time. The tense square between messenger Mercury and Uranus at this lunation is also of astrological importance.

The planet Uranus governs seismic changes, elections, reversals, shocks, and surprises. When activated by the Great Awakener, we are subconsciously motivated by our vision of the future to take decisive action. We desire to liberate ourselves, make a big splash, or end something abruptly. Uranus was on my Sun when I quit my stable corporate career to pursue an uncertain future as an astrologer. Uranus was opposite his Sun when Joe...

This lunar cycle is going to bring the drama. On the day of the New Moon, the North Node enters Aries and the South Node into partner Libra until January 2025. The lunar nodes move backward through the zodiac. This transit begins at the 29^th degree of karmic lessons, crisis, and decay. The collective work shifts from focusing on resource allocation to relationship dynamics. It's time to assert personal needs, embrace courage and enforce healthy boundaries. As we adjust to the shift, I expect we will experience surges of the shadows. Selfish, aggressive, and tactless behavior will abound as the rules of civility are rewritten.

The Sun in Cancer, Pluto in Capricorn, and the lunar nodes will form a cardinal grand cross on July 21 at the 29^th degree of each sign. Crosses are planetary patterns without an outlet. Venus in fiery Leo stations retrograde on July 22. Seismic events will occur around this time. Extreme weather is likely as the New Moon is sextile surprising Uranus and trine...
