As we enter 2025, the coming year promises to be a significant celestial overture, laying the groundwork for the transformations that will unfold over the next decade and a half. Just as an overture in music preludes and introduces the major themes of an opera, 2025 marks the beginning of a new astrological narrative with […]

Sun Signs: The astrology of 2024
2024 will not be a year you remember in singular fashion. In astrological terms, it nestles in between the fierce vicissitudes of the COVID years and the remainder of the decade that hosts decidedly dramatic astrology. This is not to say that this year will be calm or boring, but that in hindsight it will […]

Sun Signs: Eclipses and emergent fate
We’re headed into another month of eclipses. On Oct. 14 we will have a solar eclipse in the sign of Libra, and on Oct. 28 we’ll have a lunar eclipse in the sign of Taurus. These eclipses stand out because they are in the two signs of which Venus is the planetary ruler. In contrast, […]

Sun Signs: Venus Retrograde in Leo
If you would like to have a more personal interpretation of the Venus Retrograde, I offer readings and classes at starhearthastrology.com I have to admit, I am wary of personal “goals.” I am all for the pursuit of self-development, I balk at the external quantification.

In his poem, “Sweet Darkness,” the poet David Whyte wrote, “When your eyes are tired, the world is tired also. When your vision has gone, no part of the world can find you.” Here he described the phenomena wherein your participation in the world, or lack thereof, is reflected back to you, the cosmic wink […]

Saturn in Pisces: Trauma, healing and metaphor
Metaphor is the champion of intersecting realities. What a nifty tool, to be able to capture the essence of something by peripheral association. It speaks to the paradox of seeing things more clearly by not focusing on them too intently. I have faith in metaphor because it is a great synthesizer of the world, the […]

The astrology of 2023: Calmer seas ahead
As I write this, we are in the liminal week between Christmas and the New Year — a week of travel, leftovers, clean-up, and thank-you notes. From this precarious vantage point, we look back and we look ahead, reflecting on the year that was and dreaming into the year that lies ahead. Lucky for us, […]

Mars Retrograde in Gemini: It is a great time to change your mind
One of the things about astrology, as with life, is that if you pay attention long enough, eventually it is just the same stuff over and over again. Despite buzzwords like “portals” and “lion’s gate” and evolutionary language, astrology is essentially the study of cycles that repeat themselves. Much in the same way that seasons […]

Sun Signs: The Pluto Return of the USA
The past several years have been harrowing, to put it simply. From the personal to the political, the stresses of the pandemic have exhumed many things from our personal and collective histories. At a national level and through the lens of astrology, this is to be expected as the United States approaches the first exact […]

Sun signs: Venus retrograde renews joy
There was one time, a few years ago, when I had a religious experience over pasta. I was invited to the soft opening of Free Range in Basalt, and Flip Wise, the chef at the time, had invited the local farmers. The chitarra pasta arrived, and after the first bite — ripe with fennel-laced tomato […]
