First, it's the moon, and then its Mercury arguing in the courtroom of the sky, but finally, a trine from the lunar persuasion in Libra and an amenable Jupiter position balances all with the spirit of fairness. Arguments are not always negative. They can, with great respect, be tools of understanding. It's all about turning the heat down and ...Read more

These first days of the sun's Scorpio journey are times of intensified intuition. If it made total sense, it wouldn't be called intuition. Logic lines up like a ladder, but intuition is a blossom finding the sun, petal by petal, slowly unfolding, keeping the secrets safe until just the right moment when the warmth is worth the trade of ...Read more

Trying to get attention usually has the opposite effect. But if you have something people need, they'll come take a look. In Scorpio Season, what people crave is a mystery, which is a funny thing to build, because it's built by taking things away, concealing them or using them for misdirection. The lunar shift offers plenty of practical magic ...Read more

Most people intend to be good ancestors. We'd like to think our actions allow us to pass on a better world, one that lifts and frees, not oppresses and destroys.

Pay attention to the primal in these early days of Scorpio Season.

The first days of Scorpio season are a song of truth-seeking, sometimes swallowed in the echoing of the unknowable. For instance, there's no way to prove that the destiny unfolding around you includes the right people at the right time to serve the right purpose. But if it makes life better, brighter and easier for you, why not believe it?

The Libra season was full of beauty and connection, along with a few mishaps -- mostly mistakes of assumption. We assume people will behave as others we've known have. We assume people share our logic and process the world as we do. On the cusp of Scorpio season, it's those who make fewer assumptions who will clearly see the advantages before ...Read more

Deep in the ocean in a midnight zone where no light can get in, the jellyfish known as the Stygiomedusa gigantea thrives without possessing so much as a bone, tooth or brain to weigh it down. These deep-sea jellyfish are proof that one doesn't have to be heavy to be deep. This message was brought to you by the water-sign trine of Mercury and ...Read more

There are things we could do to alleviate the pressures of life, but the course of action doesn't always seem worthwhile. What if it's the pressures that are holding the whole thing together? Sometimes they bind us to a pattern that keeps life on the rails. The intersection of a solar change is a reminder that at some level, these are choices....Read more

While you were sleeping, someone else was in a midday rush, scrambling to get somewhere on time, trading before the bell, careening toward a deadline. Even your own mind and body were busy at work with the mysterious tasks necessary to repair and re-energize you. Considering the lunar business of the day, it is glorious relief to realize the ...Read more

Playful interactions are telling during this lunar opposition. They give away such things as how you really feel about someone or social power structures and other influencing factors that one does not always want to be confronted with. This is why people gravitate toward those who master fun. It takes courage to do so; in a sense, the one who...Read more

The full moon in Aries is a hunter with super-sized hunger and ferocity. What passions are you willing to venture for? Even the vague notion that there's something better out there to explore will send many howling into the night. The mission may prove that what you left at home was mighty fine, but even so, one must take the journey to know ...Read more

So what if the project requires skills you don't possess? You'll learn! Everything can be figured out, delegated, worked around, overcome or bought. Trust yourself to do what needs to be ...Read more

It is completely normal to want to show how much you know, attract attention or be in control. It would be strange for a human not to have such impulses, though a trine of Venus and Neptune in intuitive water signs suggests if you can notice these latent, competitive instincts and curb them, you will go far in developing warm, mutually ...Read more

Value is a perception. Without the perception of value, there is no value. An opposition of Venus in Scorpio and Uranus gives the tension to remind us that it's not always about the integrity of what we are giving; it's often more important that we have a good receptive match. It's a day to align with those who have the same idea about what's ...Read more

It's common for people to be disinterested in how others perceive the world, as most assume others see things as they do. While there may be an objective reality, each person can only have subjective access to it. The water-sign embrace of Mercury portends: Those who wonder and care what others experience will take part in a divine swirl of ...Read more

Relationships happen on the go. We don't get to plan every move and build it like a house; rather, we must work with people while we're all moving through life. We can travel together caravan-style when we're all going in the same direction. Other times, we work it out at the intersection. The auspicious arrangement of the moon, sun and ...Read more

Personal baggage is typically unprocessed emotion. What goes unprocessed is not always negative. Sometimes we feel like we're not supposed to have the joy that is inside of a moment, at least not openly, because not everybody is feeling it. What joy flew by you back there when Pluto was retrograde? How could you make it safe to feel it now?
