Libra Full Moon: What Are You Hiding?
Society is pleasant when good manners and mutual sensitivity rule the day. But falseness is off-putting, and others sense it immediately. The challenge is to strike a balance between a pleasant demeanor and an authentic one

Libra Full Moon: It Isn’t Fair
Each moment of epic societal fail has a pedigree, a family tree that you can trace to understand its origins and to identify the point at which its DNA became corrupted. But the tree also has new branches and leaves that represent new generations with fresh energy… and that is a source of hope, a promise that wounds can heal and that day will inevitably follow night. It’s not fairness, exactly, but there is a kind of symmetry to it, and balance.
Read MoreLibra New Moon: The Leap of Love
The Libra New Moon is close to Jupiter, which recently entered Libra for a one-year stay. Astrologers rejoiced when Jupiter left Virgo, figuring that since Jupiter is supposed to be a “lucky” planet and Libra is the sign of relationships, everything would soon be coming up rainbows and unicorns. But anytime someone starts talking about how wonderful a transit is going to be, it makes me itchy….

Lunar Eclipse in Libra: You Were Asleep
Maybe that old break has completely healed – but I’ll bet if we looked closely we would detect the tiniest hairline crack, such as you might find on a vase that was broken and glued back together. It’ll never be the same as it was before the break. You’ll never be the same person you were before life and relationships happened to you; every person you’ve loved has left a hairline fracture….

New Moon in Libra: Comparisons are Odious.
As an astrologer I’ve had to learn to get inside another’s skin and see the world through their eyes. But developing a heightened awareness of others can be a difficult skill to switch off at the end of the day. When you spend too much time looking through another’s eyes, it can be all too easy to lose track of your own truth.

Full Moon in Aries: The Sweet Spot
If you are in a relationship with someone who doesn’t know who you really are, are you actually in a relationship? Sometimes it feels safer and easier to hide your true self from others, because if you are rejected for who you really are, it hurts a lot worse. On the other hand, you might be rejected for your faux self anyway, left not only without a relationship — but also without a self.

Autumnal Equinox: Temperance
It’s tempting to think if you won the lottery tomorrow and never had to work again, you’d do nothing but dance and jump for joy—and for awhile, you probably would. But eventually the ghost of summer vacations past would return to haunt you, and you’d no doubt grow tired of endless revelry, like a child who has grown jaded from a diet of candy bars and suddenly craves vegetables….

New Moon in Libra: Breaking Bad
This Libra New Moon is a cue ball breaking against racked-up heavy-hitters Uranus and Pluto, with Mars in Leo adding a little chalk to help the cue stick gain traction. Rebellion is the order of the day, whether it’s protesters railing against Wall Street or Walter White breaking out of his suburban comfort zone. With Pluto involved, the stakes are high….

Venus moves into Libra: Why isn’t the sky raining gum drops?
So I hate to be the one to break it to you, but placing Venus in Libra in a solar system full of bigger, slower, meaner planets that are in a bad mood is about as effective as putting a Glade air freshener in a slaughterhouse. Both are fighting way out of their weight class.
