I appreciate the inner side of life and the healing path. Astrology has been a great friend on that path. Visit me at:

Love, muscles, dragnets, giving and taking, and more - these are themes I see in the charts for the two events that occurred, one yesterday (Uranus turning retrograde) and one today (a partial eclipse of the Moon in Pisces).

From Part 4 of the Zodiac Synthesis series. It covers the Age of Aquarius and the larger Astrological Ages construct.

The Virgo New Moon energy (August 23rd) tells me that these times are supporting us in coming back into alignment with who we are. We are all special, and we come to know that when we develop (and are able to develop) the skills of who we are.

Part 3 of my Zodiac Synthesis series dives deep into precession - the astronomical phenomenon that explains why the Tropical astrology of the West is a seasonal astrology, distinguishing it from star-based systems.

From Part 2 of my zodiac synthesis series exploring how three different astrological systems might work together as one unified framework.

The primary theme I see for the Aquarius Full Moon (August 9th, 3:55 a.m. EDT) is that of awakening to how we’ve been doing things and thus to choices about how we want to proceed.

The Leo New Moon is coming up later today, July 24th, at 3:11 p.m. EDT. The primary theme that came through was that of stewardship - that we are stewards of light, not owners or possessors of it. A supporting theme was that of the conditions...

As ruler of the opening and closing eclipses for the year, Mercury is a key player in 2025, making its retrograde periods worth paying attention to. Its most recent one, its second of the year, began on July 18th...

In this video on Saturn's retrograde, which occurred on July 13th (EDT), I explore two interwoven themes:

• A call to temper our more brutish tendencies
• The ongoing call to individuate—and for the larger collective to support that process

The Capricorn Full Moon chart calls us to remember our essence and invites us to do so by asking a question:

Why are so many of us, at this time in our collective human journey, disconnected from our inherent essence, gifts, and inner knowing?

"In the chart, there is an invitation and an opportunity to heal this [masculine] principle so that protection comes not at the expense of traumatizing others, but in support of safety and well-being for all humanity and all creation."

In the video for the Cancer New Moon, I talk about how all the old patterns of violence we see in the world are projections of the wound arising from the traumatized mothering, or nurturing part of our human nature. The clarion call is to heal...

The main energy I see in the Gemini New Moon chart is that of taking a step back from our daily lives to get a fresh perspective on ourselves and how we’ve been living, allowing curiosity and lightheartedness to return if those have been missing.

The final article in my 4-part series exploring retrograde cycles in astrology is up. I use the filter of a developmental hesitancy to give them more nuance and texture for interpretation and to align them with the larger patterns of nature/cosmos. passitonastrology.substack.com/p/the-sabian...

We need structures that support and tend us on [our] journey, not enslave us to goals. We need structures that match the reaching depths of our human desire for freedom & the soaring heights of our human spirit. astrologyjournal.substack.com/p/freedom-it...
