EYE OF THE STORM Uranus, the planet of revolution and change, turns retrograde on Aug. 2. This is when all of those wild and crazy changes come to a roaring halt. It's a much-needed breather as it's the first time that you'll be able to survey the overturned landscape of your life. One [...]
HEART OF GLASS It's not wise to wear your heart on your sleeve when Venus forms an opposition to Saturn in the sky. Either you will be taken for a ride (with no one but yourself to blame) or you will find yourself knocking insistently on a closed door with nobody on the [...]
STORM OF CONFUSION Mars is the angry planet in Astrology. It doesn't like to be pushed around and when push comes to shove, it will shove back. And hard. Uranus is the planet of rebellion. It doesn't like to be told what to do and when it feels repressed it will kick over [...]
THE SEARCH FOR SIGNS OF INTELLIGENT LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE It's hard to tell if life is going to hell in a handbasket these days or if there's some greater design at work. One side says that present circumstances are a simply matter of chickens coming home to roost after years of being [...]

PERSONAL BEST The Mars/Jupiter square on June 24 will feel a lot like that moment when you auditioned for the soccer team or school play and got cut. You know you put your everything into try-out but it wasn't enough to make the grade. So do you pack up your things and quit [...]
WHAT YOU SEE MAY NOT BE WHAT YOU GET You'll get lots of nibbles but no bites this week and that's a good thing considering all of the potentially treacherous planetary configurations. You don't want to be making a big sale or finalizing any important deals when Mercury is forming a square to [...]
JUPITER OUT OF RETROGRADE Jupiter is the planet of good governance in Astrology. It rules through fairness, justice, and a benign laissez-faire credo. When it's strong there is a relaxed, but firm grip on the reins. When it's weak (like it has been since Feb due to its retrograde), then the squeaky wheels, [...]
THE BUCK STOPS HERE You're facing a pretty difficult emotional choice with Venus traveling through a rough patch of sky this week. It's tempting to say that you have no control over the situation – that your passions are blinding you to reason or that you don't want to be the one to [...]
