COME CLEAN You never want to try to pull a fast one when Mercury squares Pluto (May 7). Not only will you be found out, but chances are the person you're hoping to deceive already knows your story. It's frightening to divulge all when you've got something to hide, but that's exactly what [...]
MAKING GOOD It's time to make things right. The heated moment may have passed, the rift might have healed on its own, or you and a partner could have moved on to new relationships but that still doesn't erase the wrong that was done. The wonderful thing about the Sun/Neptune sextile on May [...]
IT'S MY TURN You will do whatever it takes to live the life you like. You tried to like the life you were living, but this only resulted in compromises, delays, and a heap of disappointment. Mars isn't an easy planetary energy to manage. It feeds on conflict and it can be relentless [...]
PULLED BACK FROM THE BRINK The Sun conjoins Uranus for the last time in Aries on April 18. For 7 years we have all felt like highjacked passengers buckled into the backseat of Mr. Toad's motor car while Uranus, the planet of revolution and change, rode roughshod over our lives.

WRESTLING WITH THE DARK ANGEL Nothing comes easy when the Sun squares Saturn (March 29). What felt inspiring and uplifting one day is laid low by the planet of trials and tribulations the next. For some people this is confirmation that a naive hope truly was naïve. They're happy to turn and go [...]
THE RETURN OF MERCURY RETROGRADE On March 22 all the gremlins come out to play. This is when Mercury turns retrograde and its reverse direction will release a Pandora's boxful of glitches, debacles, and fiascos into your day-to-day life. These could manifest as automobile breakdowns, computer malfunctions or your coffeemaker suddenly calling it [...]
NOT SO FAST Venus in Aries will never be one of Astrology's most romantic placements, but it certainly knows how to stir the pot. This is a time when people speak from the heart; when they feel the freedom to express what they really feel. This can lead to break-ups, walkouts, and some [...]
LEAP OF FAITH On March 8 Jupiter, the planet of good luck and higher purpose, will turn retrograde. Like all retrogrades this will bring an about-face, but there's more going on than the end of a lucky streak. Jupiter, like Saturn, is a planet of tests. If your attitude is "easy come, easy [...]
