The new moon in Taurus is on May 7th at 8:21 pm Pacific and is activating Gate 2, the Gate of Higher Knowing.  

This is one of the best new moons of the year with it being the first after the eclipse season and Mercury stationing direct. The Moon also loves being in Taurus. Taurus is known as the place of the Moon’s exaltation.  

In astrology, there is a fundamental concept known as essential dignity which refers to the strength or power that a planet has in a particular sign of the zodiac. 

There are several essential dignities, each of which indicates a different level of strength or effectiveness for a planet:

Rulership (Domicilie): Each of the 12 signs has a planetary ruler.  When that planet is in a sign that it rules, it is considered to be particularly strong and capable of expressing its energy fully. This is where it feels most at home. 

Exaltation: Exaltation is a position of heightened influence...

The Solar Eclipse is happening on April 8th at 11:20am Pacific and will be activating gate 51, the Gate of Shock, which is also currently transiting the Sun, North Node, and Chiron. 

A solar eclipse will always occur close to the North Node, but isn't always in the same gate. However, this solar eclipse is happening with the Sun, Moon, North Node and Chiron all in gate 51. 

Solar eclipses are seen as potent times for initiating new beginnings, taking risks, and moving forward in life. They often coincide with opportunities for personal growth and advancement. 

With the Nodes and eclipses being on the Aries-Libra axis, we’re going through a recalibration of honoring our personal needs and boundaries while also considering the perspectives and needs of others.

This axis highlights the dynamic interplay between individuality and partnership, self-assertion and cooperation, independence and compromise. It reflects the tension between the...

The New Moon in Pisces is on March 10th at 5am Eastern and is activating gate 22, the Gate of Openness.  At the time of the new moon, the Sun, Moon, Saturn and Neptune will all be in Pisces.  Mercury will have just left Pisces and entered Aries. 

Pisces is the 12th and final sign of the zodiac. As the final sign, Pisces has seen and been through it all.  This leads to deep wisdom that is gained through the experiences of the preceding eleven signs. It represents the accumulation of knowledge and lessons learned throughout the astrological year.

The symbol for Pisces is two fish swimming in opposite directions, connected by a cord. This represents going between fantasy & reality and the duality and depth of the Piscean nature. It can also signify the struggle between the material world and the spiritual realm, or the balance between conflicting emotions and desires.

Pisces is considered a deeply spiritual and transcendent sign. It...

Over the next couple of weeks there is going to be a pile up of planets in Aquarius.  Both of the luminaries, the Sun and Moon, are in Aquarius along with Mercury, Mars, and Pluto. On February 16th, Venus will join the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Pluto in Aquarius.  

Aquarius is the 11th sign of the zodiac and a Fixed Air sign that is ruled by Saturn and symbolized by the water bearer (which is why this sign often gets confused for a water sign instead of an air sign), which represents the flow of intellectual and innovative energies rather than emotions.  

In the context of Aquarius, the pouring of water symbolizes the distribution of wisdom, innovation, and the collective consciousness. Aquarians are often seen as progressive thinkers who aim to bring about positive change for the greater good of humanity. The symbol emphasizes the idea of freely sharing ideas and contributing to the well-being of society.

As a fixed sign, Aquarius is known...
