This Mars retrograde station in Virgo has the Virgo-Pisces polarity charged, and one of the themes along this polarity, especially with Chiron transiting Pisces, is scams. Unfortunately, there are a lot of nefarious people aggressively pushing their nefarious schemes these days. So many that I feel ill when I think about it. And certain people are considered easy targets: the elderly, the

I'll be talking with astrologer Matt Savinar again this Thursday, January 26 on his radio show, Ask the Astrologer. There's a new time slot for the show: 10 a.m. to noon Pacific every Thursday. The station (KOWS 107.3 FM) serves Occidental, California and West Sonoma county, so if you're in that area, please tune in.

Mars' forward motion in Virgo grinds to a halt today at 23 degrees of the sign (6:54 p.m. Central) as we unfold into the Aquarius New Moon. The planet of action, will, aggression, and goals will be retrograde until April 13, when it turns direct at 3 degrees Virgo.With this almost three-month retrograde, an active re-organizing principle comes into full force in our lives, re-directing us and

We move this week to a somewhat sobering and quite enervating square between the Sun in Capricorn and Saturn in Libra (January 19). With both planets on the final degrees of those signs, there's no time to mess around. We consciously and conscientiously advance through the last few steps of Sun in the sea-goat as we're brought to a relative (yet tension-filled) resting point on the anaretic

Mercury leaves Sagittarius for Capricorn just after midnight tonight. Can I get a Hallelujah?The communication planet does not operate fluidly from the sign of its detriment, Sagittarius, at the best of times. Add to that a Mercury retrograde, and more than two months in this sign has been more than enough. Anyone with a communications-related job should be glad to see this one coming to a close.

Saturn transits the 28th and 29th degrees of Via Combusta Libra just minutes shy of an exact trine to Neptune in Aquarius from now until early February, 2012. Due to the upcoming Saturn retrograde, the trine between Saturn and Neptune won't become exact until October 10, 2012, at which point both planets will have moved from air to water - Saturn into Scorpio and Neptune into Pisces.Saturn

The Sun entered Capricorn very late on December 21, and today we experience winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. Darkness breaks, and the daylight hours start to get longer from here on out. The points of equinox and solstice, sometimes referred to as the cardinal points, are very potent in tropical astrology. They mark quarterly points each year of new direction, new manoeuvres, new

A little astrological prediction: I have a feeling the Pluto in Scorpio generation is going to start getting a disproportionate amount of play by astrologers in the near future. This will coincide with members of the Pluto in Scorpio generation (born roughly November 1983 to November 1995) reaching the ages where they will be taking a stronger interest in astrology and astrological information.

Mercury goes retrograde in the sign of its detriment November 24 at 20 degrees Sagittarius, stationing direct again December 13 at 3 degrees.

There's a lot said about the "letting go" and "releasing" related to Scorpio and its ruler Pluto, and that's certainly a part of it - eventually.The thing is, though, that letting go too soon screws Scorpio over a second time.

New Age huckster James Arthur "Death" Ray, currently free on bond, is still awaiting sentencing for the negligent homicides of three people in Arizona in October 2009. Ray was convicted in a jury trial on June 22, 2011 under the cross-hairs of the summer solstice Cardinal Grand Cross formation. Ray's attorneys filed a motion for a new trial July 13, which was denied by the judge in the case,

From October 2009 to October 2012, Saturn transits Libra. During that time period, all members of the Pluto in Libra generation will experience the Saturn conjunct Pluto transit. I won't go into all this transit indicates, as it's complex, but in basic terms, the people who have natal Pluto in Libra (roughly from 1971 into 1984) come into their authority within the structures as they exist

The Sun, Venus and Mercury are in "analyzing the fine points" Virgo opposite the Pisces Full Moon. This produces an influence that could lead the general public to take a closer look at the horrific events of that day, dispelling the super-charged rhetoric, and opening a new and independent investigation. The Full Moon is a point of culmination, when things are pushed to a head. In Pisces, there

We can all learn a little something from the sideways-stepping crab right now: healthy, self-preserving avoidance of angry trigger points. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not talking avoidance as in denial and wilful ignorance of reality.

The people in the city I've moved to are cheap. Exceptionally cheap. Exasperatingly cheap. This is not something they would take as an insult, either. It's actually an odd point of pride.It's a prairie city, but that doesn't explain it completely. I've lived in a few prairie cities, and this one takes the cake. It's a fairly provincial city - meaning, it has some very set, old school attitudes.

Mercury enters Cancer at 2:09 p.m. Central June 16, officially kicking off the two-month Cardinal Grand Cross. This is the configuration of two oppositions/four squares in the cardinal signs - Uranus in Aries opposite Saturn in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn opposite Mercury, the Sun, the Moon, Venus and Mars in Cancer - in effect June 16 to August 29, 2011.I've written a few posts on the subject

I'd like to make it clear (as clear as possible with five planets in Pisces, which might be not very) that when I write about the Piscean and Aquarian eras, I'm talking about the precession of the equinoxes - the shift in placement of the Sun at March equinox from the sidereal (physical) constellation of Pisces into the sidereal constellation of Aquarius. This physical shift in the Sun's

The Moon is dark in Pisces at the moment, and at fin-de-Pisces, this sign is home to many a deep, dark, watery grave. Spelunking around in them as we have been during this Balsamic Moon is not the most fun thing I can think of.
