"The city prides itself on its contributions to pop culture, namely music, but it has sidestepped what made all that possible in favor of the tech industry." ...true, & also Seattle has never been super-friendly to its artists—tho it sure does love shouting about us after we make it big &/or die!

Feeling extra agitated today? The Aries Moon is disposited by Mars sitting between Eris and Chiron.

With Uranus in Gemini, I am noticing an increased capacity for observing my thought patterns. What are you noticing?

Witch Tip: Symbols are universal, but their meanings are subjective. Seeing "111" on a clock might mean good luck to one person and might be a warning sign to another. Owls are harbingers of doom in some cultures and bringers of wisdom in others. Both views are correct. #WitchSky #OccultSky

Uranus in Gemini: breaking the left brain

In trying to understand astrologically why I woke up with clarity this morning (after an emotionally raw Scorpio Full Moon), I was pleased to find an email from Andrew Smith in my inbox, revealing that Venus is conjunct Aldebaran and opposite Antares today.

I love that my inbox is mostly poetry (or that’s all I see).

Wow!!

Is it a veery or the delicate rain?

Finally, the rain. I had forgotten what rain sounded like.

The Scorpio Moon is completing a grand water trine with Mercury and Jupiter—no wonder I wanted to be near water today. A goose hissed at us. The Moon is carrying a lot—sesquiquadrate Saturn/Neptune, applying to an opposition with Uranus. There was an island in the middle of the lake, full of ducks.

On this Libra Full Moon, remember that no one else experiences reality the way you do.

I found out today, because of Trans Day of Visibility, of the fascinating life of the Public Universal Friend. The Friend (as they were often simply known) had a mystical Near Death Experience, after which they adopted the new name and rejected all gender, including he/she pronouns.

On the eve of the Libra Full Moon—opposite Saturn—the Supreme Court strikes down Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy (using an argument based on free speech) with Justice Jackson as the lone dissent. This is a case where speech is also action. How can they not see that? An opposition can obscure.

Juno is in Aquarius. On the heels of the Saturn/Pluto sextile, Juno is closing in on Pluto, asking you to observe your commitments and your bounds and to decide what needs to be released, what needs updating, and what you are welcoming.

Saturn does not move more than ten degrees ahead of Neptune until March 3 of 2027! As proof in point of Neptune’s pull on Saturn, our instapot overflowed with oatmeal tonight. Oatmeal was leaking out the bottom and the gauge and over the sides.

This Pisces New Moon has a lot of potential for soothing our nervous systems, especially in regards to what was stirred up around the 9/7/25 total lunar eclipse. Mercury was conjunct the South Node in September and is now conjunct the North Node, and about to station direct.

Today the moon conjoins Uranus in Taurus, something we’ll only see 2 more times before Uranus moves to Gemini.
