Relationship healing is a major astrological opportunity during the second half of October. It’s highlighted by our two main events: a Taurus Full Moon and a rare Mirror Image Double Yod. We also have a powerful Pluto-Ceres square and much more!


Our special feature is Part 2 of our interview with Renn Butler, author of the amazing new book The Archetypal Universe: Astrological Patterns in Human Culture, Thought, Emotions and Dreams. We discuss planetary correlations with birth trauma, how astrology influences therapeutic modalities such as Holotropic Breathwork and plant spirit journeys, the vast possibilities of planetary combinations, and much more!

Venus turning retrograde will give us a lot to contemplate … but not act on just yet … during the first half of October. We also have a Libra New Moon with challenging aspects, a challenging Venus-Mars square, and five mostly challenging aspect patterns.

Oh dear, that’s a lot of “challenging,” isn’t it? But never fear, as always I’ll show you the high-side opportunities in every situation!

“Shifting relationships from servitude to equality” is the dominant theme of September’s second half. It’s front and center in the Fall Equinox Chart, the Aries Full Moon and our most powerful aspect pattern!

This powerful half-month also features Pluto turning direct and a volatile Mars-Uranus square … as well as several flowing and magical happenings.

Our listener chart features the Aries Full Moon (and its two powerful aspect patterns!) lining up on Bridget's 12th house Mars. Learn how this unique setup of natal and transiting points gives her opportunities far beyond Mars' natal meanings!

After all the intensity generated by the three summer eclipses — not to mention all those challenging aspect patterns! — it’s a relief to see more flow showing up in the astrology for the first half of September. The headliner is a fortuitous Jupiter-Pluto sextile, backed up by three new flowing aspect patterns: a Grand Trine, Kite and Cradle.

Saturn turns direct, and a Virgo New Moon contains both flowing and challenging aspect patterns. A Venus-Mars square and a new Double Yod Key land on the challenging side, while the seven peaking aspect patterns that started before September are pretty evenly balanced between challenge and flow. Remain mindful, but you can relax now … just a little bit!

Our listener chart features the outer planet-fueled Virgo New Moon firing up Lucy's super-tight Moon-Uranus-Pluto Triple Conjunction. Learn how she can use this lunation to kick-start her opportunities for service, health, career and more!

Mars and Mercury turn direct in the second half of August. This finally clears the deck for significant new beginnings after the September 9 New Moon.

We also have a shiningly auspicious Jupiter-Neptune trine, the Sun entering Virgo, a harmoniously aspected Pisces Full Moon and nine new aspect patterns!

Our special feature is "Event Timing for the Rest of 2018." The second half of 2018 is tricky for those hoping to start a significant new project or make a major purchase. An unusually high concentration of retrograde personal planets makes this period unusually challenging for new beginnings. I explain basic astrological timing principles as they show the best initiation windows for the rest of the year!
