Astrology for the Soul

I have been re-grounded, Now it's time to start again, Turn on the lights, roll the camera, And let the games begin. Yes indeed, these days remind me of a North American football game where the team has four "downs," and after each of the first three downs (when they get tackled without losing the ball), they gather together in a huddle to figure out their next play. These are the days to get toge...

To love and to be loved, Is the profoundest gift of all. When I open and give my heart to another, I am blessed as well. Indeed, the fruit tree grows and ripens its fruit and then gives it all away. We can be likened to a fruit tree as our lives are all about building ourselves and hopefully giving our gifts away! We’ve been building for a while now, and after the harvest of Virgo comes the sharin...

My power to stand, ask for, and be, What I want has been wounded through time. The sooner I honor and speak my truth, The sooner I'll get what is mine. Darn! I forgot a point I wanted to make in the report! An interesting note to this theme of self-assertion is that if/when EVERYONE is sovereign and asserting their truth, it is a heck of a lot easier! I always remember the scene in Oliver Twist wh...

There is an attack now taking place, On the entire human race, If I ignore, avoid or deny it, I will live and die in disgrace. Welcome to Libra the Scales! The mighty Sun is joining the warrior Mars in the sign of justice, law, equality, and diplomatic communication. Creating a grand trine with Saturn and the north node of the Moon, these planetary energies can assist us all in stepping up, steppi...

I see more clearly everyday, What freedom truly is. My body is my temple, Not a petri dish. This is a good week for critical thinking! Critical thinking can lead to making critical choices. Critical choices around what relationships are feeding us, and what relationships are no longer assisting us on our evolutionary journey. This is a week probably best described as "get the house in order, compa...

Relationship is the garden, Where love is planted and grows, It both takes and gives the water of life, And tells the truth I need to know. Whew! It feels like I did one of these yesterday. The time is flying by so fast. This morning I lay in bed far too long trying to think up a mantra because it just wasn't coming. Finally, I got up to do my yoga, and rather than put on my regular chants, I thou...

A crisis is a turning point, Forcing me to decide, What is most important to me, And who I am deep inside. Oh, Shoot! I used the Natasha chart instead of today's transits!! Sorry about that, but I'm not going to do the whole thing over either. I will catch up next week. Sorry, Natasha! Alright, Everybody! One addition to this rather lengthy Pele Report is the phenomena of Mars trining Pluto and Ve...

There is an underground living network, Connecting all life on earth, As I listen with my whole body, I know what, when, and where is my work. Indeed, the astrology is pointing to a mixed bag of energy this week. Some folks are hitting the streets (or social media) to protest, and others are tapping into the underground network to co-create a new paradigm. Perhaps some will do both! One way or the...

Life is breathing in and out, Sitting in silence then giving a shout. If I only do one and neglect the other, I lose my balance and am torn asunder. After hitting the stop button and walking back to my micro-hut, I had more thoughts concerning the healing of the masculine. What I can say is that just about all of us have a wounded masculine after experiencing many lifetimes with wounded leaders, p...

There is a virus of the mind, That will take those who do not yet know, That we must each individuate, Or risk losing all control. This week, with all the Virgo energy and inconjuncts to Saturn, we may feel blocked from fully expressing ourselves, our thoughts, and our truth. Saturn, co-ruler of Aquarius, is very powerful through these times and symbolizes the need for us to REFLECT. We may uncons...

I will not be shamed, forced, or coerced, But will follow my voice within. Knowing that I am guided, And not subject to other's whims. There comes a time when enough is enough, and this is one of those times. It's time to draw a line in the sand (or wherever there is a line needing to be drawn)! "This is OK, that is not, this is me, that is not, I'll do this, not that, take this, not that..." You...

I really need to breathe, and push, and believe, Because now is the time to give birth. It's up to me, not he or she, To bring my light to earth. Honestly, I can't say much more than I did in the Pele Report right now (it was a long one, eh)! Besides not mentioning La Luna moving through Aries (push), Taurus (make real), and Gemini (spread the good word), I didn't go too much into the T-square of...

There is a place beyond right and wrong, I will meet you there. We will sing and dance and play in the Sun, Like children without a care. Welcome the Sun into the fiery realm of Leo the Lion (hearted)! Children playing in the Sun is a beautiful reminder of how healing, strengthening and centering simple pleasures can be. Joy sends the blood coursing through our veins just a little bit faster, ligh...

There is a way of living, In peace and harmony. Not fighting what is, But being the change, That people are longing to see. It has to do with going beyond, What people claim to be true, And opening up to an infinite world, That lives within me and you. Well, that's a long one! You may need to intuit just how that emerged out of the celestial symphony this morning, LOL! But really, The Yod, or Fing...

It's up to me, as old as I am, To care for the child within. I laugh and cry, fall down and fly, Embracing it all thick or thin. It's an emotional time! And that feels like a roller coaster of extreme emotions right now as not only the new Moon in Cancer brings them up but Venus in square to Uranus (the planet of sudden radical change). From the adult witness/observer, we "let the children play,"...

When I am blocked, stopped, Under pressure or delayed, I review all my plans, So I don't go astray. Welcome to Mars, Saturn, Uranus territory, the land of the sharp, steel sword. This is like one of those college entrance exams where you file in, no talking, take your seat, are given only a pencil, the timer is set, and the stone-faced man at the front keeps a close eye out for cheaters. Are you r...

My unconscious is the potter, Shaping and molding me, Adding to and taking away, Until I'm all I can be. Pluto, the unconscious Soul, Neptune the collective unconscious, and Uranus the personal unconscious constitute a major reason why I am a tropical astrologer versus vedic. These three factors in the horoscope take the fate versus free will conversation to a whole new level! Then, once we add th...

Sometimes Life requires that I, Let go of something dear. I can cry, cling, and resist, Or have faith take the place of my fear. I remember a few different comedy acts where the clown or comedian frantically tries to keep together something (or someone) that is falling apart. They slap a piece back in place as more fall off the other side, and they run around to the other side, and as they're putt...

My shadow is like a cave full of bats, Silently waiting in the dark. A part of me that will break free, And shock me awake with a start. Can we welcome the solar eclipse when the Moon breaks the auric field of protection around the earth, enabling souls and spirit beings from distant space into our space/time continuum? It's like a Uranus transit (which is exactly square Saturn, too) or Halloween!...

I am sick and tired, Of doing what I'm told to do. I've got to be free if I'm to be me, And get into something new. OK! I won't say get ready for some fireworks even though that's possible this Saturday with la Luna transiting through fiery Aries. It will be more of a time of covert, challenging to express/speak emotional intensity going on this weekend. We can focus on the positive results that c...

The importance of a spiritual life, Cannot be stressed enough, If I want to live and die in peace, It will come by sharing my love. Happy Lunar Eclipse! I hope you navigate the powerful emotional waves brought on with the Moon conjunct her own south node. First, I would like to say that it's OK to be afraid! This is a highly emotional time where memories, dreams, and reflections will bring up past...

My reality is a living experience, Of what I think and believe. I must reject all that's not true, If I'm ever to really be free. Indeed, we are all trying to live our dreams, but sometimes they turn into nightmares. That's when we know there is more to our reality than our conscious intentions. The south node in Sag (Ketu in Vedic astrology, which has a negative/evil interpretation) brings up fro...

I reserve the right to change my mind, As I learn more than I know. It doesn't mean I can't be trusted, But that I'm willing to grow. We're running the tightrope here between getting in touch with our deepest, personal truth (new Moon in Taurus) and not getting stubbornly fixated on it to the exclusion of hearing others. We are, each of us, a Charioteer, and the more we contemplate the Holy Grail...

The more I truly love myself, Exactly as I am, The more I heal my deepest wounds, And become a medicine man. Or "medicine person," to be clear, it just doesn't rhyme as well. Anyway, the point is that the more we accept where we are, the more inner strength and courage we have to become. And the more we take the hero/heroine's journey inward to "virgin fields of consciousness," the more wisdom and...

I'm feeling the need to escape or rebel, The more the hammer comes down. I need to tap the genius within, To create more common ground. So yeah, the Sun will conjunct Uranus in Taurus and square Saturn in Aquarius within days (actually active all week). As I often refer to Uranus as the alarm clock, we can expect an alarming week! Time to wake up to what is happening right before our very eyes as...
