After such a dramatic and important full moon, is it possible that today is the first day of a brave new world?
It feels like New Year’s Day of 2000, the day after the Y2K abyss; or, like December 23rd, the day after the predicted ‘end of the Mayan calendar’ of 2012.
Wow, we just had a full moon conjunct Pluto and opposed by the Sun conjunct Mars! What’s next?
It feels like another day; only – wait – the air is clear,and maybe Truth is coming closer to a union with Justice.
So, What’s Going On?
Mars is moving ahead in direct motion; but Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto are retrograde now. These three outer planets are twisting deeply like a roto-rooter, digging out ‘data’ held in situations, facts, figures, and even meetings that were intended to remain private.
This week begins with the moon in Aquarius. Let this air sign inspire you in your search for self-expression.
Even the moon needs a rest after her culmination, and she rests easy much of this week.
On Monday the moon trines Venus (Aquarius to Gemini, on Tuesday, the Moon trines Jupiter and sextiles Saturn, and on Wednesday, the Moon sextiles Uranus; these are all favorable aspects to help youRegulate and Integrate.
Although the lunar aspects are relatively easy, this is not a week to sleep, rather, it’s a rich time to work smoothly and efficiently. It’s also a valuable time to work on you own roto-rooter projects.
It’s your time to address anything that is old, decaying, and/or in need of a major clean out.
The Days of Revelation
The fertile days of Integration slowly come to a close as we move towards the last quarter moon on Sunday, July 16th.
The tides are changing; as the sun moves closer to Leo and the Great Solar Eclipse of August 21st, the ‘days of silence’ begin to retreat, and the tides flow towards the ‘days of revelation’.
Hello and Welcome to my weekly Star Cast, where I bring you the update on what’s happening in the world of astrology – and how you can apply the wisdom to enrich your life here on earth.
My key phrase for this week is: Accelerated Growth
Last Friday, we welcomed the New Moon in the sign of Cancer. As an cardinal, or action starting water sign, the deeper spiritual lesson of Cancer is to heal ourselves as we overcome he apparent limitation of the physical world.
The reward is that we regain balance through sharing and love. By doing so, we move beyond to physical world to the spiritual world. Cancer teaches us about find true security.
Now that we have the reset of the New moon, it’s time to get busy. The cardinal signs are Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, and Libra. Each one of these signs has a way of initiation. And, the 1st quarter moon on this week, Friday, is in Libra. So, the stars urge that you don’t linger in your emotions, rather, think about what needs to be done, get busy and take action steps.
This week, on Tuesday, we have two major planetary aspects from Mercury to help us get going.
Mercury square Jupiteris an aspect that presents a demand – the square needs your participation.
And, Mercury trine Neptune affirms that you’ll have a great outcome. Tune into your intuition, listen carefully, and take the steps that are whispered in your inner ear.
Tune In
Make time this week for a ‘time –out’ to tune into your inner wisdom. Pay attention to messages from animals and listen to other ques from the Divine Mother. Apply the lessons of Cancer through feeding your body with healthy and nurturing foods. The sooner you respond to subtle messages from Neptune, the easier the lessons are.
Wednesday maintains the momentum through Mercury conjunct Mars. This is another urging to take decisive action. Avoid verbal confrontations, and also take caution while driving or traveling. Bypass mindless Mars aggression and use this vibrant connection to motivate and inspire your next steps.
Face Your Fears
On Thursday, Mercury is still running the show through Mercury opposing Pluto. Your inner dragon may rear up and present many reasons why you cannot do what you *need* to do. Use this valuable energy to not only face your fears, but, take a look at what could go wrong in your plan.
Then, Mercury opposing Plutobecomes a rich field for harvest rather than a wasteland.
Wishing you many blessings as you reach for the stars!

Hello and Welcome to my weekly Star Cast, where I bring you the update on what’s happening in the world of astrology and how you can apply the wisdom to enrich your life here on earth.
My key words for this week are: Awareness and Motivation
The Sun is now well into the mutable air sign of Gemini – and I can imagine that everyone is correspondingly busy. Gemini is noted as a sign of communication, so, if you have something important to say, this is an optimum time so do so.
The one thing you want to know about this week is that ** Hooray **Jupiter stations direct on Friday, June 9th, the same day as the Sagittarius full moon.
Because Jupiter is the ruling planet of Sagittarius, this full moon comes with a cosmic exclamation point.
Jupiter has been retrograde since February 6th of this year. Jupiter is the planet of growth and expansion, and Jupiter is retrograde is a clean-up time period – a time to gain stability and prepare for your next phase of growth.
Jupiter retrograde often leaves you feeling a bit lethargic. So, this week’s Sagittarius full moon holds the promise of getting you motivated and re-energized.
Also, note that the moon opposes both Venus and Mercury this week. In astrology, the opposition is an aspect that allows you to stand back and evaluate – to see clearly, and gain an awareness of what you’re really seeing.
And, on Tuesday, June 6th, we have two planets changing signs! Venus leaves Aries and enters Taurus, and Mercury leaves Taurus, entering Gemini.
Venus is empowered in Taurus, the sign of her Rulership. You can further enhance her joy by making time to get out in nature. After all, Mother Earth offers the finest array of beauty; shopping is good, but you can also receive the blessing of Venus in the fragrance of a flower.
2018 – A New Dawn
Venus continues to shine in her Lucifer stage as a Morning Star until late in 2017. As the year wanes, so does the Light of Venus, and by the end of the year she will be engulfed in the flames of the Sun. On November 13, 2017, as Venus slowly moves ever closer to the Sun, she enjoys a conjunction dance with Jupiter.
On January 9th, 2018,Venus merges into a Superior Conjunction with the Sun, after which she emerges, like the goddess Inanna, as a brilliant Evening Star.
January 9/10 delivers a triple conjunction of the Sun, Venus, and Pluto! In alignment with the New Year, this transformational conjunction delivers hope and promises change.
Meanwhile, Back to NOW
Everything going on this week cultivates my key word of: Awareness. Use your senses to ‘feel’ what is happening, to discern what is real. Pay attention to messages you hear, even casual comments that may be speaking something you need to hear.
Remember, this week is for Awareness leading to Motivation.
Tune in, get clear, and get going. Remember to get out and enjoy the Sagittarius full moon on Friday. It will actually look the largest on Thursday night because the peak cycle is actually during the day on Friday.
Wishing you many blessings as you reach for the stars!
Hello and Welcome to my weekly Star Cast, where I bring you the update on what’s happening in the world of astrology – and how you can apply the wisdom to enrich your life here on earth.
My key word for this week is: Versatility
One of the beautiful things about the computer age is that there is almost always more than one way to do a task. And, if you cannot accomplish your goal the first time, there are always more chances to complete your objective.
The week begins with a super busy Moon in Aries that makes aspects, or activates to 6 planets!! – Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Pluto, Saturn, and Uranus!
The planets are teachers, and each one has a specific function and message. So, although the moon is decreasing in energy, today is a great day to keep up your momentum from last week; get clear about how you can take things just one more step in a positive direction.
The Sun is now firmly into the early degrees of Gemini, and this week on Thursday, May 25th, the Sun and Moon join for their reset at the Gemini New Moon.
As a mental, air sign, Gemini and its mutable quality keeps you busy when the Sun travels through the zodiac sign.
And, remember that the glyph for Gemini is revealed as the twins.
The ancient wisdom behind this image reminds that two heads are better than one, and that you need not go it alone. This applies to personal and professional partnerships, business ideas, fun excursions, and almost every aspect of life.
In the season of Gemini, it is through sharing and communication that you develop a spiritual relationship with SELF. Gemini is also about equal partnerships, and it is in accordance with ancient teachings that June and/or the season of Gemini is a traditional month for marriages.
This week we are moving through the dark phase of the Moon cycle – perfecting this time for completion which was set up by recent planetary events such as Saturn trine Uranus on May 18th.
In keeping with the tone of this waning moon, on Tuesday, May 23rd the moon moves into Taurus and conjuncts Mercury late in the day. Moon conjunct Mercury is a precursor to the dynamic Gemini New Moon on Thursday.
Venus square Pluto just before the New Moon speaks to decisions that will be made in the lunar month ahead; there will be an important relationship that must be re-negotiated between May 25th and July 23rd.
Mars opposing Saturn on May 28th confirms this; be prepared to negotiate and be patient as you have to work through frustrating irritations.
Don’t lose your momentum. The early part of this week is a great time for positive strides on completing a long standing project, or resolving an issue that has been lingering in the background.
Versatility is a gift of the New Age, and that there are many ways to reach your goal. Clear your emotional space by tending to practical matters so that you can embrace fresh energy of the Gemini New Moon on Thursday.
Wishing you many blessings as you reach for the stars!

My key words for this week are: Clarity and Solidarity
The week starts succinctly with the moon in Capricorn, and early in the afternoon, that Saturn ruled moon conjuncts Pluto.
Pluto and Saturn like construction and authority – think of these two planets as having the power and organizational ability to build the great pyramids.
Indeed, as you look around on the surface level of world events, you see that authority has become a big deal; as in, who has the power to make decisions over the lives of others.
And, the deeper question dives into motivation – are people motivated by greed, power, or the desire to do good in the world. It’s interesting to note that Capricorn’s (and Saturn’s) two governing values are time and money.
As the Moon and Pluto conjunct today, your secret to success this week is to be clear on how you can positively utilize your time, and to develop a positive relationship with money. Living in harmony with time and money gives you power over your own life – which brings about both Clarity and Solidarity.
Also today, Mercury enters Taurus and by Saturday, May 20th, Mercury will have cleared the shadow of his previous retrograde phase. This reinforces the idea that this week is not necessarily one to initiate life changing actions; rather, it’s a valuable time to plan and prepare for the steps you will execute after the Gemini new moon of May 25th.
Tuesday is a stressful day with the moon forming harsh aspects to Uranus and Mercury before going void of course at 11 am Eastern time. Translated this means – take the afternoon OFF; read a book, visit a museum, go to the beach, or take a walk in nature. Tuesday is simply not a day for difficult negotiations or major strides.
Wednesday, however, is a great day to make and keep appointments and socialize as the Aquarius moon forms a sextile to Venus, and trines both Jupiter and Mars. Again, in plain language – Wednesday is a breezy and kind day when you like people and they like you. For example, it’d be a great day to attend a business networking event.
The rest of this week, May 15 – the 21st leans back into my key words of Clarity and Solidarity. On Thursday, Saturn trine Uranus promotes orderly and disciplined change. This is an excellent day to schedule a meeting that will be productive.
On Friday, Venus opposing Neptune makes you take off the rose colored glasses; however, the advantage is that you will see things as they really are, not as you hope they might be.
Finally, on Saturday, the Sun changes signs and enters Gemini.
Amidst the uncertainty in today’s world, the days of Taurus provided a respite – I witnessed many marriages and surely found it rewarding to spend time in nature. The season of Gemini will feel like a quickening – in the month of mutable air, things will move quickly, so use this week to plan accordingly.
Wishing you many blessings as you reach for the stars!

My key phrase for this week is: Amazing Possibilities
This week, on Wednesday, May 10th the moon ripens to full phase in Scorpio. The full phase is exact during the day, so, because of the timing, the moon will actually appear to be most full on Tuesday night.
Scorpio is a sign of regeneration. In traditional astrology, Scorpio is a water sign, but the wisdom tradition of Kabbalah teaches that Scorpio is also affiliated with FIRE.
And, under Scorpio, we learn the spiritual lessons of water, which are sharing and mercy, but also the lessons of Fire; trust, surrender, and judgement.
Scorpio is about irrevocable change – for better or worse, decisions and actions taken when Scorpio is active are ones that have lasting impact. So, choose wisely this week.
If you want to make a permanent and lasting change, a transformation – this is you week to state your intentions and take action.
Let this full moon deliver you to Absolute Clarity! If you’re not sure about something, for example leaving a relationship or a job, wait a bit and get some help in making your decision.
There is another reason I chose the key phrase ‘Amazing Possibilities’ for this week. On Tuesday, May 9th, we have two powerful major planetary aspects. First, the Sun tries Pluto, which is an invitation to step onto the merry go round of Life.
Think of the trine as being in a situation where you’re at an amusement park, watching the ponies go round and round on a carousel. Under the trine, that favorite pony, the most beautiful one that you’ve been admiring – stops right in front of you, and you have to choose whether or not to get on and ride.
Sometimes we get trapped by laziness – thinking, ‘not now, I haven’t finished my cotton candy’ – but in truth, this is your chance you’ve been waiting for. You must overcome inertia and fear of the unknown.
“Each Person I Meet is a Golden Link in the Chain of my Good” Florence Scovell Shinn
Plus, on Tuesday we have a lovely Mercury conjunct Uranus. This is an aspect of brilliance – and offers a total breakthrough into new possibilities. So, you can see that Tuesday offers a fine set up for the Scorpio Full Moon.
Be open to new opportunities and innovative ways of accomplishment. Greet all people with an inquisitive spirit because you never know who will hand you a breakthrough idea.
Energy Clearing – Mars square Neptune
There is one more planetary event that makes this week special. On Thursday, May 11th,Mars, the planet of action squares Neptune , the planet of illusion. Mars square Neptuneis a decisive aspect of clearing the decks – moving out negative energy, and then, Mercury trine Saturn on the same day speaks to finalizing a new foundation – one based on clarity.
Finally, on Friday, May 12th,we have Mars trine Jupiter – think of this as a green light to implement the intentions you have set for this week and even for the remainder of this year.
Wishing you many blessings as you reach for the stars!
