Power Exchange: The Full Moon in Taurus

One of our greatest resources is time. How we spend it, who we spend it with, and what we invest it in says a great deal about our values.

The Full Moon in Taurus brings these questions into focus. Taurus is a fixed earth sign associated with money, financial security, land, agriculture, banking, beauty, pleasure, and the abundance of the natural world. The Moon is exalted here, encouraging us to slow down, get grounded, and take a practical approach to life.

Across the zodiac, the Sun is in Scorpio, illuminating the axis of pleasure, power, and resources. Scorpio rules shared finances, taxes, debt, inheritances, intimacy, secrets, and the hidden workings of power.

Full Moons bring visibility. What is coming to your attention about what you own, what you share, and who controls the resources?

DISTURBING THE PEACE

The Libra New Moon arrives on October 10, but before we get into the astrology, I want to remind my professional astrologers about an upcoming opportunity.

ASTRO MARKETING: ESSENTIAL TOOLS FOR SUCCESS

On Saturday, October 17, Dabney Lawless and I are presenting an interactive three-hour workshop for the Organization for Professional Astrology.

Your work may be excellent, but people must understand who you are, what you offer, and why you are the right astrologer for them. Your branding, messaging, positioning, website, and public presentation shape that relationship before a client ever books a consultation.

We will help you clarify your niche, strengthen your brand, and discover ways to attract the right clients beyond simply posting on social media. You can also volunteer for a hot seat and receive real-time feedback on your website, branding, messaging, or marketing.

If you are an astrologer who wants to grow your business, I hope you will join us.

Aries Full Moon: Courage, Conflict and the Wounds That Demand Attention

The Full Moon at 3° Aries arrives on September 26 at 12:48 pm ET with fire, courage and the desire to move forward. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. It represents independence, initiative and the will to survive. This energy can help us stop hesitating, advocate for ourselves and take action on something that matters.

Use this Full Moon to move your body, release pent-up energy and reconnect with your strength. Take a walk, dance, exercise or do something that reminds you that you are alive and capable. 

Aries does not wait for permission. It acts. But action without awareness can become impulsive, reactive or destructive.

When Pain Turns Into Anger

This Full Moon is ruled by Mars at 29° Cancer, the final and most urgent degree of the sign. Cancer is associated with family, homeland, ancestry, belonging, and emotional security. Mars feels uncomfortable in Cancer because anger doesn't always move in a str...

It was such a delight to share my work at the United Astrology Conference this year!

During UAC, I presented two talks that explore how astrology can help us understand both personal and collective turning points.

The Moment Knows: Working with the Consultation Chart

In this talk, I introduce a method for analyzing the chart for the moment a client arrives for a reading. The consultation chart can reveal what is unfolding in the client’s life at that particular moment, offering valuable insights and helping the astrologer understand what is ready to be explored.

The Call of the Lunar Nodes

The lunar nodes tell a powerful story about where we have been and where we are being called to grow. In this presentation, I discuss how the changing nodal axis reflects the collective themes, challenges, and evolutionary work unfolding around us.

Recordings of both presentations are available for purchase and are on sale through the end of the month.

Attending the United Astrology Conference (UAC) and sharing my work during two lectures was a dream come true. I loved reconnecting with old friends and meeting new people, but what brought me the most joy was meeting clients who have come to me for readings, students who have studied with me, and professional astrologers who have participated in my mentoring cohorts.

It was deeply moving to see my students and mentees flourish, grow in confidence, and share their own wisdom. Some were even speaking at the conference. Watching people I have supported step forward and thrive was incredibly rewarding and one of the most meaningful parts of the entire experience. You can purchase the recordings of my UAC talks here.

At times, all the energy was emotionally overwhelming, and I needed to retreat to my hotel room, a temporary nest away from home for this Cancer rising. This is a good time to take extra care of yourself and baby your nervous system. Uranus is stationing retrograde, amplifyi...

Pisces Lunar Eclipse: Magnum Opus

One of the biggest themes I see for this Pisces lunar eclipse is Magnum Opus, your greatest work.

The eclipse season opener was the solar eclipse in Leo, and now we have the lunar eclipse in Pisces. To me, Leo and Pisces are two of the most creative signs of the zodiac. Leo creates from the heart. Pisces creates from the imagination, intuition, and the ability to see beyond what is immediately visible. People with strong Leo or Pisces energy can have a vision of something before anyone else can see it.

Pisces is expansive. On the high road, it is compassionate, empathetic, spiritual, artistic, and deeply intuitive. It can dissolve the boundaries between us and remind us that we are all connected. On the low road, that same lack of boundaries can become confusion, illusion, escapism, distraction, or idealizing people and situations that do not deserve it.

That is why I call this eclipse Magnum Opus. There is extraordinary creative potential here. So...

Many of you know me as an astrologer, but you may not know the path that brought me here.

Before I became a full-time astrologer, I spent more than 25 years in the corporate world, building a successful career in sales, marketing, and business development. On the outside, everything looked great. Inside, I knew I was being called in a different direction.

Following that calling wasn't always easy. It required courage, trust, and a willingness to embrace uncertainty. Looking back, every step, even the difficult ones, led me exactly where I was meant to be.

I recently had the opportunity to share my story with CanvasRebel, including what inspired my career change, how I built Astrology by Celeste, and the lessons I've learned along the way.

Read the interview here:

That journey is why I feel so passionate about the work I do today.

Many of my clients come to me because they're standing at a crossroads. They may be considering a career ...

Leo is ruled by the Sun, the center of our solar system. Everything revolves around it. In astrology, Leo speaks to identity, creativity, leadership, visibility, and the courage to let yourself be seen. If there’s a creative vision you’ve been procrastinating on, this Leo eclipse offers a powerful push to stop waiting and bring it to life.

On the high road, Leo is confident, bold, loyal, warm, generous, and visionary. Leo has presence. Think of the person who walks into a room and people instinctively look up. Sometimes it's their clothes. Sometimes it's their posture or the way they carry themselves. Sometimes there's simply an unmistakable quality that says, "I'm here."

Leo rules royalty, leaders, celebrities, the golden child, and people who have been elevated above the crowd.

But Leo also brings the drama.

The Fall of Kings

The shadow of Leo can be arrogance, vanity, entitlement, narcissism, and the belief that the rules that apply to everyone else somehow don't apply to you.

Saturn Pulls Back the Curtain

One of the most fascinating shifts in astrology happened this week. Saturn stationed retrograde in Aries as the North Node entered Aquarius and the South Node entered Leo. Within days, the Aquarius Full Moon conjoins Pluto, shining a spotlight on the collective. Together, these transits tell one story.

The South Node in Leo drains what has become excessive. Leo rules kings, celebrities, leaders, performers, and those who believe they are above the rules. Aquarius reminds us that we're all interconnected.

This Full Moon made me think about Tall Poppy Syndrome, a phrase popular in Australia and New Zealand. It describes the tendency to criticize or "cut down" people who rise above the crowd. At its healthiest, it's rooted in an Aquarian ideal of egalitarianism, the belief that everyone deserves equal dignity and respect. At its worst, it becomes resentment toward anyone who succeeds or stands out.

The astrology asks a deeper question. Are people being cr...

The Cancer New Moon arrives on July 14 at 21°59' Cancer, nearly exact on a world point. World points often coincide with events that receive global attention. The unexpected death of Senator Lindsey Graham and the absence of Senator Mitch McConnell have become symbolic of a broader theme under this lunation: established leadership is shifting, and the political landscape is entering a period of transition. 

Cancer is the sign of home, family, ancestry, belonging, emotional security, and our subconscious. As we stand on the threshold of eclipse season and a rapidly changing world, this New Moon reminds us that our strongest foundation begins within.

Your Intuition Is Your Emotional Intelligence

One of the greatest gifts of Cancer is intuition.

Your intuition is not separate from your intelligence. It is emotional intelligence. It is the wisdom of your body, your heart, and your subconscious speaking to you.

Mercury is retrograde in Cancer and has just passed through its cazimi, the...
