Turning Point USA: Jupiter, Saturn, and the Reckoning of Power

The stars don’t lie, and neither do the headlines. The astrology of the week following the Sagittarius Full Moon delivered on its explosive promise. On June 15th, two major transits perfected: Mars square Uranus and Jupiter square Saturn. The first struck like lightning; the second pressed hard on the brakes. Together, they ignited a turning point for the United States and the world.

🔥 Mars Square Uranus: Flashpoints, Assassinations, Protest, and a President Under Pressure

Mars square Uranus is the astrology of sudden rupture, rebellion, and violent confrontation. This week, it showed up in terrifyingly literal ways.

In Minnesota, two state lawmakers were shot, and one died, sending shockwaves through the political landscape. Uranus rules shocks, political uprisings, and revolutions. When squared by Mars—the god of war—we see violent outcomes triggered by ideological extremism or explosive rage. This is textbook astrolo...

This is a week of high-stakes revelations on the personal, political, and global level. The Sagittarius Full Moon on June 11 brings things to a head. Sagittarius is the seeker, the preacher, the truth-teller. When the Moon is full in this sign, expect fireworks both literal and metaphorical. Here in my city, Oakland, CA, they were literal and unwelcome as M80s were set off in an intersection. With so many major transits coinciding, this one feels like a cosmic truth bomb. We are in a new world globally.

But before we dive into the astrology, I want to share some exciting news: I was recently quoted in a Huffington Post article about Donald Trump’s solar return alongside brilliant astrologers Catherine Urban and Lisa Stardust. We explored what’s coming up for him in his birthday chart, including the karmic implications of the South Node near his Virgo Ascendant and the upcoming Uranus return. These themes feel especially potent right now.

In my latest YouTube video, I talked about Cal...

The skies have shifted dramatically. Saturn, the planet of structure, responsibility, and control, is now in Aries, the sign of bold action, conflict, and initiation. But Saturn is in its fall in Aries, meaning its usual strength and dignity are weakened. Instead of reinforcing authority, it may expose its cracks.

This week’s stories are a stunning mirror of this cosmic change. Saturn in Aries reveals what happens when leaders falter, institutions wobble, and nature itself forces us to reckon with instability. Listen to the Celestial Insights Podcast for a full breakdown. 

The Macron Incident: Leadership and Public Embarrassment

One of the clearest examples of Saturn in Aries manifested on May 25, the day after the ingress. As President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Vietnam, he was publicly shoved in the face by his wife, Brigitte, as they exited the plane. Captured on video, this brief but potent moment was more than just marital tension, it was a symbolic blow to his authority.

In m...

We are in a new cosmic era, with Saturn freshly entered into Aries and Mercury dancing through its home sign of Gemini. The energy is marked by swift communication, profound revelations, and the stirring of structural transformation.

Synchronicity is everywhere. I’m writing this blog from the Seattle airport as I wait for my flight home after an inspiring weekend at the annual NORWAC astrology conference. It was an honor and a joy to share my work and be in community with so many brilliant astrologers. I cherish reconnecting with old friends and forming new bonds in this cosmic family.

If you’ve ever considered attending an astrology conference, I highly recommend it—it’s a powerful way to expand your network, learn new skills, and gain valuable tools to grow your practice or business. Join me this October in Park City, Utah for the OPA “Cosmic Shift” retreat, where I’ll be teaching predictive astrology. It’s an incredible opportunity to deepen your skills in an immersive, supportive...

This week, we stand at the edge of endings and the threshold of reckoning. The astrology speaks in stark, uncompromising terms. With a rare second Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius, Saturn reaches the final degree of Pisces, and then blazes into Aries. The Celestial Insights podcast theme, Zone of Interest, isn’t just borrowed from a haunting film about normalized evil; it’s a direct reflection of this moment’s theme: What are we allowing, enabling, or ignoring in our collective shadow?

Catch Me at NORWAC This Weekend!
I'm honored to be presenting two talks at the Northwest Astrological Conference (NORWAC) this weekend! If you're attending norwac.net, join me for deep dives into lunar planning and secondary progressions.

Astrology Insights for the Week of April 20, 2025

This week, the cosmos invites us into a reckoning. With a potent last quarter moon in Aquarius, Venus and Saturn’s final conjunction in Pisces, and a climactic Mars-Pluto opposition, revelations abound. The theme? "Tales from the Crypt." What lies buried within our psyches, politics, and collective systems is stirring awake.

The Last Quarter Moon: Cratered Illusions

This is the first of two lunar quarter moons in Aquarius, the second arrives at 29° on May 20. Mark your journal now: where are you today in relation to your hopes, dreams, and ideals? Then revisit next month to reflect on what’s shifted. There’s an intense urge to take action under this sky. Mars in Leo squares both the Sun and Moon, stoking the fire of impulsive moves and theatrical displays. But caution is key. Acting too quickly could alienate allies and create ripple effects across your entire kingdom. The sound of silence may be the wisest course, even as the tempta...

Welcome Aries Season: The Astrological New Year Begins

When the Sun arrives at 0° Aries, we mark the start of the astrological new year—a powerful reset moment full of fiery momentum. This point, known as the Aries Ingress, offers a glimpse into the year ahead when cast for a nation’s capital.

For the U.S. in 2025, the Moon sits at the very top of the chart—symbolizing that the people hold the power, whether we fully recognize it yet or not. It's a year of awakening, though the path may challenge us to explore unfamiliar depths. Will the largest march on Washington happen this summer?

I had the pleasure of joining my friend and collaborator, Tiffany Harelik, to explore the 2025 Aries Ingress chart. Together, we dove into what this moment means for collective themes in the year ahead. You can watch our conversation here.
