“How can words be used to hurt and how can words be used to heal?” asks Mercury & Chiron in Aries this week.
Tuesday is the Lunar inauguration of Mars into Cancer. Our engine planet spent a hell of a long time in Mercury’s yang sign and we are pretty talked out after 6 + months, and now we all get to be super moody for the next 6 weeks. Today everyone’s feelings are writ large.. so if you feel reactive try and not chew anyone out.
On Wednesday we have a grand water trine with Mars, Saturn, & the Tail of the Dragon 🐉in the first decan of water signs. The Cancer Moon seconds then notion and we get to have all the feels today. Combined with the Aries Sun… it’s a steamy & stormy day.
On Thursday the Moon enters Leo this evening on the west coast, and makes the first of many oppositions to Pluto in Aquarius. This is the royal axis of the heart and the mind. The two sides need to work together within each one of us to bring the best of humanity to the fore, and that’s what Pluto in Aquarius’s ultimate job is.
On Friday we have a warm blooded Moon in Leo trining the exalted Sun in Aries creating some fun on Venus’s day. Spring is happening now in the north and spring fever starts today, so let it have its way with you and remind you of how good it is to be alive.
On Saturday the Leo Moon trine to Jupiter & Mercury, while square to Venus & Uranus whips up some serious drama & fun, while bringing out everyone’s inner beautiful freak. Have fun and cut loose. Life is too short to not ignore all the existential drama and just have a good time this weekend.
On Sunday the healthy Virgo Moon opposes Saturn in Pisces reminding us that we live in the axis of order and chaos here, and that by design God only meets us halfway.

MOON BITE
cut open the passionfruit
let the seeds spill onto your hands just a little
tip the edge of the fruit into your mouth
let the juice choose its own adventure
don’t control it
don’t coerce it
just take what was meant for your taste buds
and savor the preciousness of
the sweet tang that is a Monday morning
with the moon in Gemini

Welcome to the biggest week of 2023!
On Monday we celebrate the Equinox! Spring in the north, Autumn in the south… either way we have day & night meeting briefly as equals before one side gains the upper hand. This is the day that the Sun crosses the Aries Point at 2:24pm pacific time and we begin the zodiacal journey once again.
On Tuesday the Moon becomes New as it joins the Aries Sun at 00° at 10:23am pacific time. Take a deep breath and launch yourself alongside the Sun & Moon into a rebirth for the ages as this week hosts the Pluto shift as well.
On Thursday Pluto enters 00° Aquarius at 5:24am pacific time. Aquarius is the sign of revolution, the sign of humanity, the sign of progress, the sign of the mind, the sign of the anthropologist from outer space, who has come here to observe and help the savage humans. It’s the sign of rebellion with or without a cause, it’s the sign of all technology. In the next twenty years we will see the best and the worst of humanity: of tech. and of scientific interventions.
The last time Pluto passed through Aquarius was 1777 - 1798, which saw two major revolutions, one in America and one in France. Take note of this, it’s likely to be important. As Mark Twain said, “History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes.”
Pluto in Aquarius will drive progress but will also create some who resist progress completely. Inevitably this planetary combination will also bring a new generation of Luddites.
Ultimately the next twenty years will be a big push for a higher quality of life, but Pluto can impose progress. The people in power have different ideas about what this means than the masses. That’s perhaps where the über Aquarian concept of revolution comes in…
On Saturday, in the early morning hours on the west coast, Mars, our red-hot planet of gumption, mojo, & warfare gets out of its interminably long passage through Gemini and cannon balls into Cancer—a sign in which it really doesn’t feel great. Mars wants to kick ass and take names in a direct manner, and filtered through the Moon’s sign, creates a passive aggressive & moody vibe.

Monday Moon Bites!
We drift through the Undine seas of Pisces today heralding the end to the lunar cycle as well as the astrological year.
May we all linger a bit longer than usual and taste the bittersweet nectar of nostalgia.
There is much to mourn and much to anticipate, but for a moment maybe we can melt into the magic of just being.
Water is both gentle and unyielding.
Serene, yet tsunamic at the same time.
Words are best absorbed lyrically today, or not at all—so sit in silence or let the rhythm of this sweet tune softly serenade you:
“When it`s too much to handle
Burn me a candle
If you don`t have a candle
Let me burn on your mind
The song of the sirens
Caught up with me downwind
My nose started bleeding by the second note
Heaven is a motel
With a telephone seashell
Well, check-out`s at eleven
And don`t ask for more time”
