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. Jupiter brings opportunity, blesses, and broadens. First, I will teach parts of my Moon Mastery™ Program for Synchronicity University. I am honored and excited to collaborate again with the inspirational Nadiya Shah. Working with a large organization allows me to teach at a  lower price. You can purchase the 5-week course for as low as $5 a class before February 29. If you can afford more, please consider one of the other options to support my work. Stay tuned for additional announcements! Book an astrology consultation if you want to discuss my insights into how this transit may impact you.

Mercury, the planet that rules communication, transportation, commerce, and our thought processes, is the star of the show at this New Moon. As it travels through responsible Capricorn, your attention may turn to topics including duty, ambition, hard work, and achievement.

I love that this transit brings mistakes to our attention. I mistakenly used the wrong hour for the Pope's chart and made an error in the last blog. I did this on the day Mercury squared Neptune, the planet of confusion. Neptune stationed direct in a square...

With oppositions, it is easy to swing one way or the other rather than achieve balance.  Unexpected outbursts of anger are possible. The energy will last through American Thanksgiving.  Avoid impulsivity! Be present so your family’s holiday does not end in tears, hurt feelings, or broken dishes. Scorpio season calls for shadow work. How can you love yourself and others' flaws and all? If possible, focus on gratitude and forgiveness rather than vengeance.

Another source of intensity is the Moon’s conjunction with feared fixed star Algol.  In Greek mythology, this star is Medusa’s severed head.  She was the feared Gorgon with snakes for hair whose visage was a weapon.  One look and you turned to stone. Scorpio...
