Mercury went retrograde at 6:05pm PDT on Tuesday. Before you go and panic or running around like your hair is on fire (I mean, yes, people are making right turns at high speeds from the far left lane, but), let me offer you a few pieces of information. Because of the ebb and flow of…

Getting what you want from Mercury Retrograde (part 1)

Jupiter is generally expansive and is very tied to our beliefs. Scorpio is all about transformation. Also on March 8, the shadow of Mercury Retrograde in Aries began (actual…
Oh, that wacky sky energy…
Feeling edgy or anxious? We’ve got a few things going on. (1) This New Moon in Scorpio has some prickly energy associated with it. Best to do some writing, meditating, and/or general introspection. Just be prepared, it might get heavy. Better than not doing it, though. (2) This week Earth has been moving through a…
