Mars and Neptune focus on feelings while Venus and Pluto judge quantitative matters like cost and value. Keep in mind that the minutia of star-rankings is a uniquely human habit. You won't see raccoons and alligators leaving a review, as they are too busy snatching up the opportunity at hand. Perhaps they have something to teach us.

Throughout history, there have been many groups named "The Thirteen Club," some philanthropic, many secret, some with the aim of breaking superstition and others to uphold it. With the Jupiter-ruled Sagittarian energy at the helm of this Friday the 13th, your own personal views about superstition are the ones most likely to be true for you.

Explorer Roald Amundsen said, "Victory awaits him who has everything in order." One can only hope that after such a claim, he then paused to knock on wood. Why tempt the capricious fates so? Indeed, it is not possible to prepare for everything, and the positions of Venus and Saturn suggest we stay flexible, watching for the wild card of ...Read more

When you experience something that delights you to the core, you're driven to share it. But not everyone you're close to likes the same things as you. There's big, double-sized fun on tap under the full Gemini moon, especially for those who make the effort to be with special ones who can join you in the celebration of what you love.

There's a profound difference between assessment and judgment. Assessment comes with a set of feelings like curiosity, honesty, reflection and productivity. Judgment comes with a harshness and the extremes of award or punishment. Venus and Saturn move together to root for you to be kinder wherever possible. Stick to assessment.

It's important to have someone with whom you share an unquestionably good rapport. A fun banter, the bandying of ideas, even an argument is evidence of same-level thinking and thereby being less alone in your head. If you have it, revel in it. If you don't, find it. Offset the gloom of this sun and Neptune square with a quality interaction.

Under this warrior moon, the rules of battle are relevant, and not to be confused with the rules of war. The one who wins the battle isn't always the one who wins the war. And the hero isn't always the person who won the fight. Victory is irrelevant in the hero's story arc because heroes aren't made by outcomes; they are made by heroic actions...Read more

As a society, we believe in many imagined realities that are just as idea-based as mermaids and unicorns, collectively agreeing not to question such things as the value of money or the creed of a country. For these things to keep being real, we have to uphold a faith in them, which we do wholeheartedly in these early stages of the Jupiter ...Read more

As the assertive Aries moon comes up against Jupiter, tolerate opinions different from yours. Listen to them even. Free speech is essential to the evolution of a society -- a freedom that is of no use if unexercised. Those who only say the accepted thing don't move the needle toward truth. For ideas to be put to the test, they must be heard.

A thing can be hard, dense, weighty and solid and still snap or shatter when hit with the right sort of force. Durability is flexible. With strength and the ability to quickly adjust to environmental factors come balance and then grace and then dancing. You can effectively apply the metaphor to any plane under the Pisces moon, especially ...Read more

The Pisces moon highlights the highly impressionable nature of humans. Do not doubt for a second that you have influence. It feels substantial in some circles and inconsequential in others, but don't let matters of scale discourage you. You are a neuron firing in the group mind of the world, which will not think the same without you.

It has been suggested that the only people who can live happily ever after are people who only have three minutes to live. This statement isn't so much one of cynicism, but a comment on how effectively the mind of a human adapts to a new state and soon after grows bored of it. We need change and challenge, which Jupiter gives to us today.

All language must be built. This is the case even when two people technically speak the same native tongue; there are always subtleties and meanings inside of meanings to hash out before fluid communication can take place. This communal Aquarius moon favors all efforts to find commonality or to create it, as the case may be.

Neptune, planet of dreams and days into its new path, is comfortable and offers a generous scoop of hope to the whole picture. Families have assembled, commerce has commenced, and there's an audibly harmonious hum of humanity to be heard as the moon shifts from Capricorn to Aquarius. Step out and hum along.

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

Capricorn is the station that represents power, its structures and rules, its benefits and perils. Where groups assemble, a hierarchy must be sorted. Otherwise nothing gets done. Sometimes the power is passed along, with individuals taking turns, but it always exists, and everyone knows who is holding it, especially under the Capricorn moon.

Nothing feeds the soul like gratitude. And yet, modern emphasis on the concept has taken it to a cliched place. In some realms, gratitude seems more like a chore than a wonder, more like an obligation than an actuality. Gratitude that isn't felt on a sensory level doesn't count. It is more closely aligned to enjoyment and pleasure than it is ...Read more

Schools of fish swim as one. Birds flock in formation. Humans are, terribly awkward comparatively, constantly running into one another. We have to be trained to march or dance synchronistically. Don't give up. The discourse may be imperfect, but this Neptune change suggests it's better to have a messy interaction than none at all.

The Sagittarius new moon speaks to worldly sophistication. While reading books grows the mind, ultimately, brainpower is proven not in the mind but in the world. The highest intelligence is action. It takes sharpness to offer up what is most needed in the moment. Without the thing that makes a moment work, what comes after is likely to fail.

The better the result is that you have created, the more dazzling the effect, and the less inclined people will be to notice what it took to produce such a wonderful end. If you want accolades, you'll have to hint, prompt and basically educate people to give them. This will get easier as Venus transits deeper into Capricorn, the realm of the ...Read more
