Saint Patrick of Ireland was kidnapped, enslaved and starved before finally being reunited with his family and ultimately helping thousands of Irish people survive horrific circumstances. The role of luck is debatable here, and perhaps as we celebrate the luck of the Irish, we can also celebrate the tendency of fortune to eventually favor ...Read more

The messenger of the gods turns in his winged shoes for a surfboard and rides the waves of Pisces through April 3. These Pisces weeks will show you just how well you know people. Already tight relationships will get so close that you will seem to share the same head at times. Reading one another's thoughts and co-dreaming are normalized.

Can you feel the intentions of last week's new moon manifesting? Tomorrow brings the Mercury change that will have you witnessing your progress in a different way. If you were to, very scientifically, log recent happenings by writing them down, taking pictures, etc., you will have an accurate (and repeatable) record of your success climb.

How much emotional resonance do you experience on a daily basis and with whom? Can you extend your care to people who are very different from you? These are the challenges wrapped into the next moon cycle which begins with today's new moon in Pisces, the sign of augmented (and even uncanny) powers of empathy.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You ...Read more

People have palpable, if unspoken, expectations of one another now. Whether paying for a certain result, anticipating one inside a personal relationship or just wanting something from life, knowing what to expect and what is expected of you (plus whether or how to deliver) will be the main focus on the final day of this moon cycle.

The ubiquitous big blue Bed, Bath & Beyond coupon started as a one-off promotion piece and became corporate mailer iconography. Is it the size, the blueness, the deal itself? Yes, yes, and yes. But mostly it's the regularity with which the thing shows up -- a relatable concept. In the closing of this lunar cycle, repeat what's worked.

"The one that got away" belongs in the category of nostalgic concepts with limited validity or usefulness. Almost anything could have been, but there is only one thing that actually was. Being good with that is the power move reiterated by the mighty conjunction of the sun (here-and-now king) and Neptune (king of all nonrealities good and bad)...Read more

With the moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn all rolling forward through Aquarius, seize the powerful opportunity to do some good. To be "chill" and spontaneous is to leave too much to chance. It will be easier to act from the heart to connect and protect people after you've found out, worked out and fleshed out your purpose.

Creating a remarkable life takes grit because it requires doing quite a lot of what you don't feel like doing at all. Most of life's awesome experiences don't come with the package of being born. They have to be personally built. "Feeling like it" is a luxury. As the Capricorn moon likes to remind, in word and deed, motion is the bulk of ...Read more

Expectations are often met, which is why we have them in the first place. The Capricorn moon would like to point out that they are also often not met. Watch out for negative expectations based in fear of hurt or loss. Hidden in the subconscious dark, those expectations are dangerously powerful. Illuminated, they might be downright silly.

At this point in the Pisces solar journey, we are getting so used to playing in the ethereal that we no longer identify it as a dream. We accept the spiritual playground and play in a sandbox filled with clouds. The moon seeks to help out as she slips from Sagittarius into Capricorn, where ideas become plans, strategies, systems and tactics.

The centaurs, the half-man, half-horse breed with whom Sagittarius energy is associated, have a reputation for being wild by standards of both horse and man. They are known to roam restlessly and aim their hunting arrows at targets impossible to hit. And yet, hit them they do, and so will you this weekend of the wild Sagittarius moon.

When the planet of conversation meets the planet of magnification, it's a marathon cosmic coffee shop visit, the likes of which keep baristas busy with refills and extras, breakfast orders extended to lunch orders, and chat topics ranging as a wide as a college course catalog. The vibes are friendly and aimed toward solving the problems of you...Read more

These are the last hours of Mars in Aries, the sign of "me" or, more to the point, the sign associated with the phrase "I am." It's important to note the differences between self-care, self-involvement and self-obsession. To focus too much on oneself can actually be very stressful, though the stress is easily relieved by simply focusing on ...Read more

Never is a split moon day more fun than on the lunar cusp of Libra and Scorpio. In a romantic context, it signals the journey between the "friend zone" and the "tunnel of love." Beyond relationships, the omen can pertain to other pursuits, such as the moment a job becomes a career or an interest becomes an obsession.

The scales are the only inanimate object of the zodiac and a symbol of the sort of objectivity that will be put to good use today as we decide what's fair, where the balance is and how to make things more pleasing and user-friendly. Now the moon highlights the aesthetic side of Libra. We seek beauty in the world and hold high standards for it,...Read more

As the moon moves into the sign of partnership, bone up on interpersonal skills such as listening. Being a good listener is neither free nor easy. The cost -- your full attention and a measure of time -- involves things you cannot get back. And this is why there are so many poor listeners in the world, and why the value of listening is ...Read more

The industriousness that comes with Virgo energy signals high productivity levels as the moon mixes it up in this realm. The fullness of the lunar vibes has emotions of all sorts spilling over, and it's up to us to get on board with the feelings that help our cause. Feed as much energy back into those supportive feelings as possible.

Sometimes the theme of the day emerges as we make our way through the hours. Events occur that can be characterized by loose association and upon reflection will fall or be jostled into a more or less fitting category. The current astral line up has us waking up inside just the theme we need, which will be declared as obviously as skywriting. ...Read more
