Human Being is walking his inner landscape. He is at the docks. There’s a pier that extends out into the water, into the fog. There he can just see the shape of a massive sailboat, rising and falling with the swell of the waves. Waters...

The last time Saturn changed signs, I wrote about it here in the Pandora blog. That was in July of 2010. Now Saturn is finishing up the tail-end of Libra (his favorite sign to occupy) and entering the dark, mysterious regions of Scorpio, to travel...

Success, thy name is Saturn. Yet Saturn is such a boogeyman, an object of terror for astrologers, their clients and those of the general public who understand what Saturn demands of us. Feeling trapped? Guilty? Obligated? Pressure to perform? Blame Saturn. Then roll up your…
Pay attention to self-care during tonight's complex New Moon in Cancer, which is also a Solar Eclipse. Influences from Saturn, Pluto and Uranus combine to put demands on your ability to understand and respond to your own needs. You’ll find yourself crashing and burning if...

This Is A Pivotal Day If you are one of the millions of people having a Saturn transit this year, today is likely to be pivotal for you. Sometime around January 25, when Saturn turned retrograde, you were cast on an inner journey to discover...

This month’s New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse and it’s also an occasion for lightening up. That may seem like a contradiction, because an eclipse tends to have a heavy feel, plus Saturn is involved, which also feels heavy. But this eclipse falls in...

“Wake up!” says Saturn. “I gave you a chance to see your responsibility recently. Now I’m telling you again: this is a time of testing.” Today is a Pivotal Day When a planet turns retrograde it makes a pivot in the sky and also creates…
This month Saturn and Pluto meet in a clash of wills. This is the third—and blessedly final—pass of their difficult square, which began last November. This square is causing people everywhere to feel as if they are caught between the proverbial rock (Saturn) and hard...

When last we saw Jupiter and Saturn, they were trying to reconcile their differences with the help of a Human Being who had climbed up onto Mount Olympus to talk to them. Today they’re having an argument about whether optimism or pessimism is the right...

It's the question everybody's asking--when will the recession end and hope and prosperity be restored? There are not one but several very difficult planetary combinations happening in the sky this year and they are contributing to a blanket of gloom. That's the bad news. The...

This month, Saturn and Uranus finish their epic battle, which has been going on since November of 2008. They have spent most of this time with Saturn in Virgo and Uranus in Pisces but now Uranus has moved into Aries while Saturn has moved into...

I want to take a moment to bid a fond farewell to Saturn in Virgo. I don’t usually say a valediction to a planet departing a sign, because I’m usually too busy heralding its entry into the next sign at exactly the time when you,…
This Is A Pivotal Day If you are one of the millions of people having a Saturn transit this year, today is likely to be pivotal for you. Sometime around January 13, when Saturn turned retrograde, you were cast on an inner journey to discover...

This month, Jupiter and Saturn come into opposition in the sky. Since Jupiter is all about expansion, getting bigger and having confidence in ourselves and Saturn is all about contraction, being emotionally reserved and working hard to earn what we gain in life, you can…
Saturn and Uranus are still slugging it out in the skies, as they have been since November of 2008. Today, April 26, 2010, is peak 4 of 5 in their ongoing struggle for control. They won’t be done until July this year. Here are some...

This December 31st we have an extremely special kind of full moon. Not only is it a lunar eclipse, but it’s also a blue moon! A blue moon is a second full moon inside a calendar month. It only happens in months that are long...

I’m not one of those doom-saying astrologers. I won’t rant about how the world’s going to end in 2012 (or any other year). But Saturn square Pluto is starting this month and going through August of 2010 and it’s serious. It really is heavy. And…
A time of change and upheaval is upon us. Saturn and Uranus have been pulling in opposite directions since November of 2008 and they won’t be done until the end of July in 2010. In previous posts about this theme, I’ve described Saturn as the...

This eclipse falls in the sign of Capricorn, which means it shows us our shadow in the area of career. We see our shadows when we are deeply immersed in career-building, ambition or neglecting ourselves for a long-term goal. Some aspect of our work can…
Saturn and Uranus are still in opposition in the sky, engaged in one of the pieces of dialogue in the “stage play of 2009” that I’ve talked about. This week there’s a peak in the intensity of that dialogue, which will be felt strongly by...
