Thoughts, insights, and reflections on astrology and the cosmos
The Full Moon on May 31 lands in Z13 Scorpio. Mars is in Aries. Mercury just entered Gemini. The depths illuminate on a day when everything else is moving fast. That's the tension. That's the point.
On May 22, Sun conjunct Uranus clears the vision and breaks the pattern. Venus square Neptune blurs the edges of love and beauty. They both peak the same day. The contrast is the point.
Mars has been in Pisces since late January — diffuse, intuitive, hard to aim. On May 21 it enters Aries, its home sign, and the sky gets sharp. Here's what changes and why it matters.
The New Moon in Taurus asks for slow, deliberate beginnings. Mars conjunct Chiron, twenty minutes before, asks for courage at the tender place. Together they make a specific kind of invitation.
If you've run your chart on Z13 and gotten a different Sun sign than you expected, you're not looking at an error. You're looking at the actual sky.
Chiron is one of the most misunderstood bodies in a natal chart. Not a planet, not a comet exactly, but something in between; in astrology, that in-between quality is the whole point.
On May 6, Pluto stations retrograde in Z13 Capricorn. That's five months of excavation beginning at a standstill. Here's what the sky is actually asking.
On May 1, Lilith enters Ophiuchus — the 13th constellation, the one conventional astrology leaves out. This transit doesn't exist in tropical astrology. Here's what it means that it exists in Z13.
Venus just settled into Taurus a week ago. Stable, grounded, knowing what it values. Then Uranus shows up. The electric disruption that follows isn't a problem. It's a recalibration.
Three headline conjunctions land in Pisces over 48 hours: Mars meets Saturn, then Mercury meets Saturn, then Mercury meets Mars. The sky tightens. Here's what that tightening is for.
On April 16 and 17, four sky events land in less than 24 hours. Sun conjunct Chiron, Mercury conjunct Neptune, the New Moon in Z13 Pisces, Venus entering Taurus. They tell one story.
They're not traditional planets. But Chiron, Lilith, and the Lunar Nodes have been some of the most revealing points in my chart. Here's what they carry -- and why they matter.
Every house system takes you from identity through dissolution -- then leaves you in the deep end. Z13 adds a 13th house. Here's why it matters.
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto move so slowly they're generational. But they're not irrelevant to your personal chart -- far from it. Here's how to work with the big forces instead of being blindsided by them.
The Full Moon in Virgo on April 2 illuminates quiet competence. Venus square Pluto the next day adds intensity. Here's how to hold both.
Jupiter expands. Saturn contracts. Together they're the most important pair in your chart -- the forces that shape how you grow and where you're held to account.
The Sun conjuncts Neptune on March 22 and Saturn on March 25 in Pisces. Dreams get illuminated, then tested. Here's how to work with both.
Mercury stations direct in Aquarius on March 20 after weeks of rewinding through your social commitments and mental systems. Here's what the review uncovered.
A planetary station in the sky is collective weather. A station on your natal placements is personal thunder. Here's what that means and why it matters.

The personal planets are the parts of your chart that feel most like *you*; your identity, emotions, mind, values, and drive. Here's who they are and what they're actually doing.

We just had a solar eclipse in Aquarius. In early March, a lunar eclipse follows. Here's why eclipse periods hit differently and what these two are asking of you.
I'm an ENFP. The Myers-Briggs description fits me well. But here's what it can't tell me – and why astrology actually can.
Everyone asks 'What's your sign?' But your Sun sign is only one-third of the story. Here's what the other two-thirds look like.
I spent years thinking astrology was basically a personality quiz written in the stars. Then I discovered what it actually is.
