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.

🌟 Celestial Insights Are Back!

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.

Last Quarter Moon at 2° Sagittarius, Feb 20, 2025, at 12:32 pm, Washington DC

This lunar phase represents a crisis of consciousness, urging an internal review of the past and an opportunity to integrate lessons learned or reap rewards. Look back over the cycle—do you notice connections to long-distance travel, higher learning, publishing, or religion?

Meanwhile, Mercury in Pisces (our planet of mental processes) and Jupiter in Gemini (the planet of expansive ideas) form a tense square from signs of their detriment. This combination breeds unease, distraction, dependency, and a lack of competency, making people more prone to errors. Despite their mutual reception offering some support, overconfidence may lead to sloppy execution.

At the same time, Mars in Cancer—a sign of its fall—is in a weakened state, nearly immobile as it stations direct. This suggests misfired aggression and reactive impulses. Whether metaphorical or literal, attack plans have a higher likelihood of going sidewa...
