Full Moon in Aries: Brave Hearts
We’re all afraid of something, and most of us are afraid of many things. Fear can be a true friend, warning us of danger or potential injury. But just like other friends, such as food or sex, fear can become the enemy if it comes to dominate rather than defend us.

Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius: Quilting
The Moon’s North Node in Sagittarius or the ninth house demands that, like a confused college undergraduate, we must choose a major emphasis for our life’s curriculum. We have to acknowledge that we can’t ever have all the answers we seek, or even know all the questions; at some point, we have to turn off the stream of incoming information and trust that we can make something worthwhile from what we already know….

Oh, the free-floating, inchoate wrath of Mars turning direct (March 10) and the mounting tension of the cardinal grand cross!

Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius: The Light at the End of the Tunnel
