The year begins under the illumination of the Cancer Full Moon, a lunation during which we often gain insights into the ways we contribute to both the world and the people to whom we are closest.
Read MoreWhen the Sun is in Capricorn (December 21 - January 19), we're inspired to be productive and efficient. Working hard feels natural and we aren't afraid to dedicate the time and elbow grease to accomplishing what we deem to have significance; after all, we’ve got success and mastery in our sights.
Read MoreNew Moons are auspicious monthly celestial events that usher in fresh cycles of creation. This Sagittarius New Moon marks an auspicious time to undertake a new project that can help us forge a greater understanding of the world around us. Expanding our horizons to embrace a different philosophical perspective—or even just trying it on for size temporarily—can be incredibly valuable and uplifting.

Read MoreThis Full Moon features the Sun in Sagittarius opposing the Moon in Gemini. And with this, we may feel ourselves caught in a push-pull between stepping back to gain perspective and focusing in on the facts that make up the whole picture. Striking a balance is important: Remember not to lose the forest for the trees, and yet don’t forsake the trees for the forest either, as both are equally important.
Read MoreDuring a Scorpio New Moon, subjects considered to be taboo may rise to the surface. If your natural reflex is to turn a blind eye to these, allow yourself to contemplate them for a moment, even if at a distance. You may end up finding them a great source of learning; just understanding why it is that they cause aversion itself is a powerful lesson.
Read MoreUranus—the planet of chaos, change, freedom, and rebellion—has played a strong role in coloring the kairos (the zeitgeist) the last several years. It made a square alignment with unearth-the-hidden Pluto in 2012-2015 and since the end of 2016 has been dancing with both expansive Jupiter and make-it-real Saturn.
Regarding these latter two, the astrological alignments that have cast a strong background note have been the Jupiter/Uranus Opposition and Saturn/Uranus Trine. The dates of the exact Jupiter/Uranus Opposition were December 26 of 2016 and March 2 and September 27 of this year. The first two exact alignments of the Saturn/Uranus Trine were December 24 of 2016 and May 18. The last one is upcoming, tomorrow, on November 11.
Read MoreThis Full Moon features the Moon in Taurus, a sign very focused upon experiencing the world through the senses. When the Moon is in Taurus we’re oriented more towards what’s seen, touched, smelled, tasted and heard than on what’s perceived, or felt, to be there.
The Sun, of course is in the opposite sign, that of Scorpio. With the Sun in Scorpio, we’re oriented towards the passionate. Emotions run deep, and we are aware—perhaps to a large extent, or perhaps to a smaller one—that things exist below the surface. Just because something isn’t seen or said, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Read MoreEach year when the Sun is in Scorpio, we're called to dig down and find the depths that reside within us. It's a time where passions propel us and we dive into trying to better understand what we desire. Connecting to, and orienting from, the wealth of our emotions (even those we are surprised we have) may feel intense and overwhelming at points, yet simultaneously de rigueur, as if we just instinctively know that this is where a larger reservoir of our power and strength may reside. We're magnetized to mysteries, called to suss out secrets, and moved to wade through the muddy and mirky to discover hidden jewels that will help us find a deeper level of understanding.
