The last eclipse of 2024 is a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra, exact on October 2nd. Not only is it a fresh start for relationships of all kinds, there’s an emphasis on emotional stability through communication… So enjoy this burst of energy for connecting with others and moving forward and don’t overthink it: Just say yes.
We all need a breakdown now and then—and this is exactly what’s called for at the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 17th. So freak out if you have to. Go ahead, have a meltdown. Have a drink. Cry a little bit. But most important now? Forgive—especially yourself. And as they say in Disney’s “Frozen”: Let It GO. That’s the lesson of this Lunar Eclipse in Pisces.
When it comes to Venus in Leo? There’s no such thing as gray areas when it comes to Love: you either want me or you don’t. So when Venus moves retrograde in Leo from July 22 - September 3, we’re prone to suffer undue feelings of insecurity in relationships. But if you want to get the most out of this Venus retrograde? Examine your fears or hangups when it comes to Commitment. It’ll be well worth it.

Eclipse Season 2021 kicks off with a Total Lunar Eclipse in eternally curious Sagittarius, exact on May 26 at 7:14 am (EDT). Are you able to take an unknown path, knowing you might be disappointed in the end? Or will you cling to your delusions, dreams and comfort zones until you drown in them? Not everything has to make sense, you see, so just lean into the absurdity.
If you cut everyone and everything out of your life that creates even the mildest discomfort, where does that leave you in the end? Ahem, alone. So before you go waving your emotional scalpel around indiscriminately, make sure you examine your role in your relationships…Because apparently it takes two to tango. And who doesn’t want to tango, ya know?
With the Solar Eclipse in Cancer on June 21st in the midst of Mercury’s stationary Retrograde and Venus’ stationary Direct period, plus the impending Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn? It’s a lot to process, and much is occurring underneath the surface.. But yes—the grass is on its way to growing greener once again…
The lesson with Mars retrograde in Cancer and Leo from 2024 - 2025 is to learn to keep calm in the face of perceived personal attacks. There’s no need to cut anyone out completely (flight), nor is there a need to bite someone’s ear off (fight), no matter how badly someone pisses you off.
The beauty of this transit is that, if we’re careful not to retreat from the more mundane, tedious and/or materialistic demands of daily life, we can finally recognize whatever long-held beliefs and emotional patterns that don’t serve us anymore. By letting such beliefs go, we’ll not only become freer and better able to express what we need, but to realize whatever ideals we have for our lives that we may’ve written off as “too impractical” in recent years.
So, you’re stuck on a deserted island...Wait. Is this reality? If indeed our future involves coping with an ongoing period of Social Distancing and Quarantine, what signs are most likely to survive vs. thrive when social norms and daily routines are disrupted?
Saturn has been in Capricorn since December 19, 2017. But on March 21, 2020, Saturn moves into the sign of Aquarius for the first time since January 1994, marking the beginning of a crucial turning point in our collective consciousness as we shift our focus from (Personal) Responsibility to (Societal) Accountability.
So as we move past January into 2020 and Saturn moves slowly but surely away from Pluto in Capricorn and into the sign of Aquarius on March 21st, we’re becoming accustomed to a new reality. And while things may not be sure, they are sure to change…

Where are we being too selfish? Where are we not being selfish enough? This Solar Eclipse in Aries is extreme—but stopping to pause & answer these questions honestly is key, if you want to channel the impulsivity & restlessness of this New Beginning wisely. Otherwise you risk being like Tracy Flick—riding roughshod over others at the expense of doing/getting what we want for ourselves—or, if we convince ourselves our lives are perfect, ending up like Mr. M, rushing unwittingly toward self-destruction.
Learning to sit with feelings of inertia and indecision that cause us to act out of restlessness, frustration or moments of defeat is the major lesson of Mars’ extra-long transit through Gemini. The trick is to realize that indulging compulsive tendencies to take on more than you can realistically handle will only leave you feeling drained. But if you find yourself constantly frustrated or restricted when it comes to how you spend your time, is it possible that your long-term goals and everyday dealings just don’t align?
From December 19 - January 29, 2022, Venus will be moving retrograde through the Cardinal Earth sign Capricorn, prompting a compulsive need to deepen connections and, in the process, purge whatever pesky habit patterns, unconscious drives or materialistic expectations that may be sabotaging them.
