A New Moon in Capricorn conjunct Pluto, with Mercury square Uranus and Mars square Saturn! Is it just me? Or are you tired too? Yep, this New Moon isn’t as New Moon-y as I’d like, but it is offering a cathartic opportunity to integrate the wisdom of 2020, while you mourn the many losses, and make space for what you want to commit to in 2021 and beyond.

A Full Moon in Cancer escorted us into 2020 and another one will escort us out of 2020! Yep, this year is bookended by Full Moons in the sign of home and family. Not a surprise!

This week Saturn and Jupiter say so long to traditional Capricorn and say hello to futuristic, innovative Aquarius. Not only are they moving signs, but they’re conjoining on Dec 21st, the Winter Solstice. These two planets join forces every 20 years, but they haven’t met up in Aquarius since 1405. Listen in for my predictions on how the Great Conjunction will push us forward into a new era marked...

This week our imagination runs wild, but our ability to discern is low. The Sun squares Neptune, Lord of illusion and delusion, making you second guess yourself. Luckily, the Sun in Sagittarius has a firey meetup with Mars on Thursday giving you a boost of self-confidence, but since these transits are overlapping it might add up to an ego overload. On Monday the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Sagittari...

This week kicks off with a Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Gemini. With Neptune squaring the nodes, we're all having sleep issues, whether it's insomnia, exhaustion, or vivid dreams. Venus will be harmonizing with Neptune later in the week, causing you to put on your rose-colored glasses. With Mercury now in Sagittarius you might not be able to keep yourself from speaking your truth, so take a breath...

Pay attention to the messages the Univer...

This week Venus squares off with the Capricorn cluster of Pluto, Saturn, and Jupiter. Your mind may be on your money or perhaps on your relationships. This can be a week when your control issues or distrust of authority get triggered. Double down on your self-care and use the last few days of the Sun in Scorpio to reflect on all the transformation you've experienced in 2020. On Saturday Venus ente...

The week ends with a much needed reset as the New Moon in Scorpio helps you express your true needs and desires. Before you get there you might experience a few disagreements when Venus opposes Mars and Mercury moves into sharp tongued Scorpio. That’s not all! Mars stations to move direct this week, awaking from his 2-month nap. And Jupiter has one final date with Pluto before he says so long for...

With Mercury and Venus now in Libra, you can hope for some diplomatic compromise, but don’t hold your breath… The Full Moon on Halloween is conjunct Uranus, meaning be on guard for unexpected occurrences and surprises.

Oh and now you can text me your astrology questions for future episodes! 917.540.3401 Join me on Instagram @ver...

It's that time again! Mercury is retrograding in the sign of Scorpio, just in time for the final stretch of election season. The New Moon in Libra this week begs you to slow down, while Mercury asks you to reflect and re-visit the stories of the past few months. While you're leafing back through your calendar you might be feeling a bit sensitive. The Sun, which rules our ego, makes 3 challenging a...

This week is marked by Mars square Pluto. Mars is still cranky on his retrograde journey, so this is no time for Pluto to come getting in his way! But alas, he will, and you will feel that power struggle. Notice where confrontation erupts this week. You can use this energy for good by moving your body, honoring your desires, and focusing on your goals.  One woman that knows a little something abou...

Think 2020 can't get more intense? Guess again! This week is one of the most intense weeks of the year, shepherding you into one of the most intense months of the year.  Have I used the word "intense" enough? It must be that Mercury just went into Scorpio and my mind is so focused on all the ways Mercury in the sign of the investigator is digging up the truth, including you know who's tax scam.  A...

Fall is here! The Sun moves into Libra on Tuesday, marking the Fall Equinox, and giving you the OK to start making all the pumpkin spice goodies. On a more serious note, the Libra season brings our awareness to issues of justice, equality, peace, and harmony - both in our society and in our 1:1 relationships. Check-in on your loved ones, and while you’re catching up, ask them if they're registered...

The New Moon in Virgo is here to help you finish out 2020 with a win under your belt! Remember - it’s progress, not perfection that will set you up for long term success.

Virgo is the sign of discernment, inviting you to let go of what no longer serves you and make space for whatever you want to have and create.  Stay tuned for my new Lis...

It’s not a normal back to school season, but that doesn’t mean you can’t initiate new habits and routines that help you show up in the ways that you want to show up in your work, your relationships, and for your soul.

I've got a special bonus for you! After your weekly astrology weather report on the podcast, I dive into the charts of Joe Biden + Kamala Harris. This week is illuminated by the Full Moon in Pisces giving you permission to rest. Pisces rules sleep, dreams, the spirit realm, and endings. If you’ve been holding on to old resentments, doubts, and fears - this is a good time to actively release those...

Be careful where you step! This week you might happen on a great idea or happen upon an epic fight with your partner. Hard to say. The main event this week took place on Monday when Mars squared Saturn. While this is the day that the aspect is exact, we’ll be feeling this tension through September. Luckily we’ve also got some bright spots in the sky this week, including Mercury trine Uranus and Ve...

We are blessed this week to have one of the most benevolent and fertile New Moons of the year. The New Moon in Leo helps you shine on the stage of your own choosing. Leo inspires you to express your unique identity through your creativity. Mars square Saturn creates an inner struggle of wanting to take action and doubting yourself. This New Moon in Leo implores you to have courage in the face of f...

Mars squares Pluto on Thursday and the temperature is sure rising. You might be feeling highly irritable, frustrated, or angry. Or maybe you feel enthusiastic, motivated, and driven to succeed. This transit can help us and/or hurt us. So consider yourself warned. I never want to scare you, but I do want to prepare you. Egos will be bruised this week. If you need a fire in your belly to fight the g...

The Full Moon in Aquarius kicks off the week, reminding you to put WE before ME. This Full Moon is squaring Uranus, the planet of electricity, technology, and the nervous system. It’s not surprising that so many of us are choosing to take tech breaks as self-care and we’re seeing support for historic regulation of big tech companies. Allow yourself to be shaken awake this week by the Full Moon in...

Mars is in a T-Square in the sky arguing with Mercury and Jupiter. That means everyone’s voices are getting louder and no one is being heard. If there were ever a time to listen, this would be it. T-squares create tension, but if it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you. This week’s got plenty of challenges, friction, and tension, but the good news is that there is always a release valve. T...

It’s a face-off between the divine feminine and the patriarchal masculine. 0:36 - T...

This particular eclipse was so potent and ended a series of eclipses that started in 2018. It’s important to know where you’re coming from as you head into this next New Moon in Cancer on July 20th, as well as the second half of 2020.  0:25 - Intro on why I’m sharing this excer...

This week you might feel like you’re reaching your edge. Luckily, the last week of the moon cycle is always a good time to pull back and turn inward. The Sun will be opposing Jupiter and Pluto this week illuminating all the shifts you’ve been experiencing since eclipse season began at the end of May. Now it’s time to adjust what’s no longer working so you can move forward when the New Moon in Canc...
