In a move that shocked the globe, as well as the stock markets, Great Britain voted 52-48 to leave the European Union (EU). From an astrological point of view, it’s not that shocking when you consider the series of Uranus and Pluto squares that occurred between June 2012 and March 2015. As the Great Awakener, Uranus enlightens and liberates whatever it…
Transiting Venus in Cancer After several weeks of non-stop activity in Gemini, it was time for Venus to check out of the sign of perpetual motion and into the cozy, soothing and nurturing atmosphere that Cancer calls home. Thanks to her rulership of Taurus, Venus has an earthy side that enjoys a comfortable home, hearty meals…
At exactly 11:33 AM EST on December 23, Saturn bids a temporary farewell to Scorpio and moves into Sagittarius. I say temporary because in reality, Saturn has a bit more work to do in the Underworld and will return on June 14 to finish the job by its September 15 deadline. So what can we…
“I succeeded by saying what everyone else is thinking.” – Joan Rivers Despite being 81 years old, the death of Joan Rivers came as a shock to most people. Perhaps part of the reason is that the self-proclaimed queen of plastic surgery was undergoing a minor surgical procedure on her vocal chords when she suffered cardiac and…
Mercury in Leo After spending several weeks in Cancer’s cozy, quiet and sensitive world, it was time for Mercury to wring out his watery wings and bask in the warmth of the Sun. From the moment Mercury crossed into the Lion’s den, he felt an urge to polish his wings, clear his throat and take center stage.…

In its highest form, Neptune is the planet of intuition, inspiration, and spiritual awakening; and in its lowest form, it is the planet of illusion, confusion and deception.
Just as Mercury prepared to station retrograde, it was announced that Melanie Griffith had filed for divorce to undo her 18-year marriage to Antonio Banderas. Although some were shocked by this turn of events, it’s no surprise once you look at their respective horoscopes. Since marriage and divorce aren’t solo events, whether a couple is tying or unraveling the knot, it will…
Now that I’ve discussed Melanie Griffith’s chart (click here), what planetary influences speak to the demise of Antonio Bandera’s marriage? Although born in different years, Antonio’s Leo Sun is just one degree higher than Melanie’s, which means in recent months he too experienced a challenge to his identity courtesy of Saturn. In fact, he’s experiencing it…
Oh my. The solar eclipse at 11 degrees Scorpio this past November landed directly on the composite Jupiter in the composite seventh house (the marriage), which means that the April 29 solar eclipse at 9 Taurus fell in the composite first house and opposed (confronted) Jupiter in the seventh house. Eclipses often precipitate significant, and often sudden, changes, so…
That Mars and Cancer were at odds with each other comes as no surprise, because their relationship has always been a tense one. You see, Mars is in its fall in Cancer, which means its energy is depleted. In fairness, although this watery sign isn’t powerful enough to extinguish Martian fire, it certainly puts a damper on it.
Consequently, while Mars is living under the Crab’s roof, he can be moody, irritable and hesitant. In fact, unless Mars can find a healthy way to express its energy, the domestic bliss that Cancer works so diligently to cultivate will be punctuated by domestic disturbances.
