Monday 12/22

The sun entered Capricorn at 12:07 p.m. yesterday, Pacific time. Use this time of darkness to focus on your aspirations, what you would like to birth by spring. Today's focus is on relationships and liberation from emotional patterns that hold us back.

Tuesday 12/23

Our hearts are bursting with universal love as we float through the day.

Wednesday 12/24

Luna slipped into Scorpio as we slept off yesterdays high, only to spend the day squaring Venus, Mars, and Uranus. Oy Vey!! This may seem like a cosmic roadblock in the relationship advancement program we thought we were on but don't despair. Feel the fear and do it anyway!!

Thursday 12/25

More Scorpio Moon madness, and lets not forget that Mercury is still retrograde, so don't take today too seriously, she's just messin' with yer mind!!*%#?* Merry X-Mas, y'all!!!!!

Friday 12/26

The Moon enters Sagittarius at 12:07 p.m. and moves to conjunct Pluto at 12:26 a.m. tomorrow. Plus, Venus is retrograde at 1:21 p.m. and Mars is conjunct Uranus at 4:39 p.m. So let go of those unhealthy attachments to your loved ones or else!

Saturday 12/27

Mercury is direct at 3:41 a.m. WHOO-HOO!!! Lots of easy aspects today, culminating with a Moon-Mercury conjunction at 7:40 p.m. A great day to return all that crap you got that you don't want anyway and give the money to someone who really needs it. (Like me! Hahahaa!!)

Sunday 12/28

The Sagittarius Moon is V.O.C. until she enters Capricorn at 6:48 p.m., and she'll be new tomorrow at 8:57 a.m. There'll be lots of cosmic energy for dreaming of what you would like to accomplish in this hard workin' Capricorn lunar cycle. Get in touch with your inner Crone, she's got the answers!

Monday 12/29

Happy New Moon!

Tuesday 12/30

There's a Moon/Neptune conjunction at 9:07 p.m., so give yourself the space to dream today. There is value in doing nothing even if the dominant culture would have you think otherwise. Moon enters Aquarius at 10:58 p.m.

Wednesday 12/31

Today is bound to be an energetic, emotional, transformative last day of the fiscal year. Beware the drunken hordes tonight!

Thursday 1/1

A quiet Aquarius Moon day with a Moon/Jupiter conjunction at 1:07 p.m. to help us love the universe through the blurry haze of the years first day.

Friday 1/2

Moon enters Pisces at 1:56 a.m. and moves to square Pluto at 1:29 p.m. Don't let today's emotional landmines keep you from your path.

Saturday 1/3

More Pisces Moon tidal upsets with a Moon/Mercury square at 12:40 p.m. Think twice and really focus before discussing matters of the heart. Or, you could just wait until tomorrow.

Sunday 1/4

The Moon enters Aries at 4:43 a.m. and so begins an energetic day who really feels good about who it is and where it's going!

Monday 1/5

Another fabulous day starts with a first quarter Aries Moon at 6:18 a.m. and nothing except favorable aspects from the Moon. Rave On!!

Tuesday 1/6

Today will down shift with the Moon entering Taurus at 7:52 a.m. and squaring Venus at 10:28 a.m. The real danger here is overindulgence and now that you know this, you'll enjoy everything in moderation, right??

The afternoon will chill and wax philosophical with a sextile between Mercury and Jupiter only to possibly meet with some turbulence when the Moon and Uranus square at 8:41 p.m. and romantic hearts come up against the new world order.

Wednesday 1/7

The Moon (emotions, family patterns) and Chiron (our wounds and strengths) and Mars (our anger and ability to act) will form a T-square (T is for tension!)

As you may imagine, the possibilities are quite endless. Keep on the sunny side and imagine only the best, you have the power to change the world, baby!

Thursday 1/8

A spaced out a.m. with the Taurus Moon trining Neptune at 10:21 a.m. The Moon will enter Gemini at 11:42 a.m., clearing things up and as she moves to trine Venus at 12:37 p.m. ideas and emotions should flow smoothly.

Friday 1/9

The happy little Gemini Moon hums a merry tune all day but there is a serious tone in the background as retrograding Venus moves into Capricorn. She'll be moving toward Neptune as well making the true purpose of all this questioning of values we've been up to seem just beyond our understanding. Keep the faith and know all truths will be revealed when it is time to know.

Saturday 1/10

The Moon is still in Gemini, much like yesterday, and will enter sensitive, squishy Cancer at 4:43 p.m. just in time for the Venus/Neptune conjunction at 7:01 p.m. Emotions could become overwhelming.

Sunday 1/11

An emotional Cancer Moon day with a Moon/Saturn square pending at 6:25 p.m. Heartfelt desires butt heads with the cold facts and it's up to us to help them find common ground.

Monday 1/12

Mercury slips into Capricorn, a serious place for a fun guy like him, at 8:20 a.m. Then the full Moon is exact at 9:24 a.m. and she'll spend the day moving to oppose Venus and Neptune as well. This might be a good opportunity to release unhealthy ancestral patterns and dream up something new.

Tuesday 1/13

The Moon entered Leo at 11:45 p.m. last night. She'll energize and enlighten us as she cruises through today trining Pluto and opposing Uranus as if it were nothing.

Wednesday 1/14

An early Moon/Saturn trine has us working and playing hard all morning. The Moon and Mars will oppose at 5:33 p.m. so power struggles are a definite possibility this afternoon. Play nice, now, and you won't have to say I'm sorry later!

Thursday 1/15

We can kiss the drama of the Leo Moon goodbye at 9:31 a.m. when she enters Virgo. She'll trine Mercury at 6:13 p.m. making this afternoon the perfect time to organize and communicate. Then she'll square Pluto at 11:53 p.m. making tonight a challenge between rudimentary regimes and new paths of spirit.

Friday 1/16

The only aspect today is a Sun/Venus conjunction at 3:18 a.m. A good chance perhaps to clean out your emotional junk drawer and keep only the things that can facilitate growth and you value the most.

Saturday 1/17

Today's Virgo Moon will trine Venus, Sun, and Neptune making this not the most focused of days. Enjoy the other side of your brain. Moon will enter Libra at 9:44 p.m.

Sunday 1/18

The Moon makes all the aspects today and she's full of exciting new ideas. Her only adversary is a square to Mercury at 2:31 p.m. The mind's limitations are the most limiting.…

Monday 1/19

The Sun and Neptune are conjunct today as the Sun gets ready to enter Aquarius at 10:46 p.m. A good chance to dream and be inspired or get totally blasted and forget today ever happened. The Libra Moon will square this conjunction at 9:56 a.m. tomorrow so interactions with others could be a little foggy for a while.

Tuesday 1/20

Moon enters Scorpio at 10:34 a.m., giving us our monthly chance to regenerate emotionally. Mars and Jupiter are conjunct at 8:08 p.m., opening a window of universal luck and good fortune for those who believe!

Wednesday 1/21

The Scorpio Moon shakes us up with an early morning square to Uranus. She'll simmer down and just be intense and brooding the rest of today.

Thursday 1/22

The Scorpio Moon wants to hold on as she squares Mars and Jupiter today who are asking her to let go. More universal letting go themes as Moon enters Sagittarius at 9:25 p.m. and is conjunct Pluto at 11:30 a.m. tomorrow.

Friday 1/23 & Saturday 1/24

Fly and be free, my little chick-a-dees!!

Sunday 1/25

It all happens in the early a.m., like a shift from major to minor, with Mars entering Pisces at 1:26 a.m. and Moon entering Capricorn at 4:39 a.m. They'll sextile shortly after that leaving us to deal with the wet blanket they've tossed upon us! Look on the bright side, you've been meaning to deal with your shadow and the scary recesses of your subconscious, now's your chance!

Monday 1/26

Today starts with a Moon/Saturn square at 6:59 a.m., all grumbly about the hard work ahead, but with Moon conjunct Mercury and Venus this afternoon and a Mercury/Venus conjunction to boot we'll have lots of support from the patient, loving Goddess, mother of us all. Rest your weary heads upon her welcome breast and rejoice in the fact that your Goddess loves you!!

Tuesday 1/27

Today is lunar Imbolc as the Moon is new at 10:01 a.m. and the Moon is also conjunct Uranus, the freedom lovin' fool that he is, at 10:57 a.m. A great day to start down a new, healthy, growth oriented path...To boldly go where no one has gone before!!!

Wednesday 1/28

Aquarius, love the freedom or leave it! The Sun and Uranus (Aquarius' ruler) are conjunct today and Neptune enters Aquarius, propelling us into dreams of futuristic realities and unique ideas. This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, do do do dododo....AQUARIUS...AQUARIUS!!!!

Thursday 1/29

The Moon is conjunct Jupiter today, in Aquarius, so that song from Hair is still probably driving you crazy, but she'll enter Pisces at 10:08 a.m. and mellow out the energy and help us tune into the more ethereal realms...and this evening hosts a Moon/Mars conjunction and a Moon/Pluto square so if life seems to be nailing you to a cross, take responsibility and imagine something positive. You have the power!!

Friday 1/30

A quiet little Pisces day, filled with infinite possibilities for devotion...

Saturday 1/31

The Moon cruises into Aries at 11:21 a.m., as we get excited about the growing light, our growing hearts and minds and spirits...Life is such a gift.

Sunday 2/1

Another zippy day, but the Moon/Saturn conjunction at 1:03 p.m. could, perhaps, use our help in the compassion and generosity towards our fellow creatures department. Every little bit helps!

Monday 2/2

Happy Imbolc everyone! Mercury moves into Aquarius at 7:15 a.m. and is conjunct Neptune at 9:53 a.m., a great day to talk direct to the Gods, free of charge!

The Moon enters Taurus at 1:25 p.m. and promptly squares Mercury and Neptune, challenging our hearts to accept the things the Gods want for us. They really do want what's best for us, whether or not we want what they want is another story. May the groundhog of happiness smile upon your future.

Blessed Be, Y'all!
