People come into self-knowledge in their own time. Self-reflection is hard work, especially when it challenges a narrative a person relies on to feel good about themselves. When faced with someone's rigid thinking or an inability to empathize, remember it's easier to label others as wrong than to face one's own complexity.

It's said that we become the average of the five people we spend the most time with. Early in Pisces season, we're reminded of our impressionability, how easily we absorb the energies of those around us. These relationships shape us, and with that comes responsibility -- especially to set a good example for those who look to us, like our ...Read more

Under Virgo's busy moon, we'll focus on tasks, all while the lunar angle to Pluto and Mercury stir the deeper currents. As the Pisces solar journey gets underway, our need for order will soften. It's a dance of effort and surrender. Between precision and intuition lies an opening -- space to dream, heal and create meaning to carry us in the ...Read more

We're getting our stories straight on the cusp of a sign change. The story we tell ourselves about relationships can be inaccurate, exaggerated and based on a projection instead of fact. Those willing to face the discrepancy will grow from the process. Ultimately, we long for something meaningful. Somewhere between the dream and reality is an ...Read more

Balance is being restored under the Libra moon, but don't rush to fill any particular position. Trust the slow pacing of natural equilibrium. Remember that people step into roles for a time, each bringing something unique and irreplaceable. When a role is left vacant, it's a reminder of their singularity and the particularity of their ...Read more

There are problems that will never be solved, and yet we'd be remiss not to attempt them. Full resolution isn't always necessary to ease the way for another person, to make things a little brighter, kinder, more beautiful or more comfortable. The moon tugs at the heartstrings of Venus with a question posed in the final days of Aquarius Season:...Read more

Mercury enters Pisces today, sharpening Cupid's aim with a touch of soul-stirring intuition. This cosmic energy lends a poetic quality to our thoughts, making every word a potential spark for something profound.

The Virgo moon serves as a cosmic editor, reminding us that life's way of trimming and tidying the narrative doesn't always match up to our own. Even so, some twists, endings and beginnings are unwanted surprises that, with time, seem to be so much a part of the perfect story that it's hard to imagine things any other way. All is aligning to ...Read more

The full moon in the sign of the charismatic cat reminds us that nothing is more irresistibly attractive than happiness. There's not a lotion, potion, accessory or accouterment that can be bought that has the attractive power of a genuine smile because it radiates qualities that people naturally seek in themselves: positivity, confidence and ...Read more

Some days, the world meets us with the care, respect and the attention we deserve. On the days when it doesn't, a responsible and self-aware person wonders, "Is it me?" The solar square to Uranus highlights human complexity. We're all in our own worlds, juggling our own stuff, and just because needs, wants or expectations don't align, that ...Read more

Like the 1970s animated "Schoolhouse Rock!" segment "Conjunction Junction," we learn the function of a conjunction the fun and catchy way with today's solar conjunction to Mercury.

As the moon squares off against Neptune and then takes the argument to Venus, people test one another, though they are frequently not even conscious of the challenge they present, throwing obstacles in the path of love and acceptance. Who is worthy of attention, how much and what kind? And more importantly, who is to judge?

Genius hangs not in the answers but in the questions as the inquisitive Gemini moon mixes it up with several planets, stirring curiosities at every corner. "The test of a good teacher is not how many questions he can ask his pupils that they will answer readily, but how many questions he inspires them to ask him which he finds it hard to ...Read more

It is common to, in the presence of those we admire, squirm internally, deciding which facet of ourselves to present. This discomfort arises out of our aspiration to be like our heroes. If we already knew how to embody the qualities, it wouldn't be growth to get there. The uncertainty we feel is evidence of bridging the gap between who we are ...Read more

We are threads in a web so vast we cannot see its edges, yet our touch sends waves; our choices bend the weave. As the Jupiter turn gathers momentum, imagine what power may bloom when we step beyond our insular lives to sense the connections that bind us, not as masters of the world but as partners in its resplendent, unfolding fabric.

It is possible to collaborate with entities that cannot or will not help you. This type of one-sided collaboration involves observing, understanding and respecting the rules. A paradox: As we honor and study fickle forces, such as nature or time, they will seem less indifferent -- and in some way, we may even appear to earn their favor.

A single cell hums with purpose, without wondering why its work matters or questioning the whole. The stomach cell churns, the lung cell breathes, and the body thrives because each piece plays its quiet part. The Mercurial trine to Jupiter suggests that actions and moments that feel isolated or unnoticed will contribute most to the greater ...Read more

One thing we learn from the mascot of Groundhog Day, our fearless Punxsutawney Phil, the Seer of Seers, the Prognosticator of Prognosticators, the Weather Prophet Extraordinaire, is that it helps to have a cool name. Also, our reaction to our own shadow self can have implications in the larger world. Under the Aries moon, we each decide for ...Read more

Daydreams and fantasies can provide a hit of dopamine that feels productive, making us believe we're making progress when, in reality, we might just be running in place in the landscape of our mind. The position of Venus to Neptune warns us to make sure we're building a bridge to the life we want, not an escape hatch from the life we're in. ...Read more
