The titles of my Celestial Insights podcast episodes are always mini predictions of what’s to come, an energetic read of the week ahead. This week’s episode, “Steel Magnolias,” revealed the strength, grace, and endurance of women and families living through fire and rising again. It also aligned with the Fire and Air Kite, a rare and inspiring formation that lifts courage, clarity, and the will to reconnect after heartbreak.

Monday’s Word of the Day is Remembrance. The skies invite us to honor what has returned, what was once lost, and what can now be healed.

The release of twenty living hostages brought the world a moment of profound relief after two years of horror for the Palestinian and Israeli people. The actions of their leaders brought hell upon the people.  As the Moon approached Jupiter, families were reunited, both hostages returning home and Palestinian detainees released back to their families. Expansion, compassion, and hope resurfaced. Astrology becomes poetry when we w...

We are all feeling the intensity right now. Consider how you manage your emotions. For myself, it’s been a call to disconnect a little from the news cycle and to spend more time grounding. I’ve joined a Tuesday night meditation group to help manage the anxiety that rises when the world feels uncertain.

I am personally in a nodal return, a cycle that repeats every 18 years when the lunar nodes return to the position of your birth. The South Node in Virgo is highlighting my third house of the mind. This has been a beautiful opportunity to understand my thought patterns and how I process information - especially in times of change. 

I’m also looking forward to the OPA Cosmic Shift Retreat in Park City, Utah, October 15–19, where I’ll be teaching a three-day immersion on Predictive Astrology. We had such a fantastic time at the last retreat, and I still have two slots available. Click here to join us.

We begin this week under the intensity of a solar eclipse at 29 Virgo. Solar eclipses are supercharged New Moons, times when the universe presses reset. This one, at the degree of crisis and decay, asks us to confront what’s collapsing so something new can be born.

Virgo energy sorts, categorizes, and separates the wheat from the chaff. The eclipse may bring exposure through power outages, system breakdowns, or secrets revealed. It is also opposite Saturn in Pisces, underscoring karmic lessons about boundaries, accountability, and compassion.

✨ A few suggestions for navigating this eclipse:

• Don’t force intentions. Observe what unfolds. Eclipses bring karmic shifts we can’t always control.
• Declutter and organize. Virgo energy wants order. Clean a closet, sort paperwork, or streamline your schedule.
• Tend to your health. Virgo rules digestion and routines. Support your body with grounding foods and rest.
• Notice exposure. What is revealed to you, about you, or through others? Pay a...

Cosmic Connections Under the Eclipse

I had a wonderful time connecting with the Kepler College community in Niagara Falls for the recent symposium. The energy was truly uplifting. This eclipse is opening portals for connection, intuition, and deep conversations about astrology. It’s a reminder that when we come together to share wisdom, we not only learn more about the cosmos, but we also learn more about ourselves.

Nurturing Your Moon

Eclipses on the World Stage

Astrology always mirrors life, and this eclipse cycle is no exception. With Uranus retrograding in Gemini and the lunar eclipse...

Before we dive into this week’s cosmic weather, I want to invite you to check my receipts. I recorded a second YouTube video about this Mercury Retrograde in Leo to capture how my predictions are unfolding in real time. It’s always affirming (and a little chilling) to see the patterns play out. 

We’re now approaching a dramatic Full Moon in Aquarius, a lunation that promises revelations. Aquarius governs the collective, systems, and societal pressure, and when the Moon is full in this sign, expect truth to rise to the surface. Podcast listeners know I’ve been anticipating major global developments, especially in Israel. As Pluto in Aquarius opposes Leo placements, collective power confronts individual ego. And we’re seeing this in action.

The Israeli public is demanding change. Anti-war protests in Tel Aviv gained momentum at the New Moon. Arab states are pressuring Hamas to disarm. France announced it will formally recognize the Palestinian state, with Canada and Portugal following ...

Mercury Retrograde in Leo: Drama, Revelations, and Lessons for All of Us

Mercury retrograde is back, and as always, it invites us into a sacred pause. It is a time to slow down, reflect, reassess, and realign with purpose.

This time, Mercury retrogrades in Leo, the sign of drama, creativity, celebrity, recreation, leadership, and ego. Expect larger-than-life headlines, theatrical moments, and opportunities to reflect on how ego and pride may be running the show collectively and in our own lives.

This cycle is already delivering bold stories that perfectly reflect the symbolic language of astrology. I recorded an in-depth video to help you understand this transit on a deeper level. Watch here.

Mercury Retrograde 101: What This Means

Mercury governs communication, transportation, contracts, technology, and thought processes. When it retrogrades - appearing to move backward from our vantage point - it encourages us to pay closer attention to details we might otherwise miss.

In Leo, ...

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...
