Introducing the Site . . .
 
It was 3:38 AM on Saturday, June 2, 2007, as I began this blog.  The Moon would be void-of-course in a few hours and I was rushing to beat the deadline.  Why?  Because projects fizzle out when they start under a void-of-course Moon.  For a full explanation, click Void Moon above.  The short answer is: it means uncertain skies and a shift in the cosmic weather.
 
The astrological "weather" is constantly changing as the planets shift position and alignments.  The Daily Stellarscope (below) tracks the transitions with an  astrological forecast for each day of the week, issuing storm warnings when appropriate.   It tells you what to expect and, possibly, what to avoid. 
 
Void-of-course Moon alerts are included, with times given for the four contiguous U.S. time zones.  For the long-range monthly and seasonal outlook, click Oracle on the menu (or "The Monthly Oracle" on the site map).
 
The Bulletin Board could just as well be called the "X-Files."  This is where I'll post items of interest, celestial, supernatural, or simply quirky.  Click Bulletins.   New items are added (or removed) almost daily so check often.
 
This and Data has a schedule for all retrograde planets in 2008, a list of lunar perigees and apogees for the year, and a calendar of conjunctions.  I have also added a link to the World Clock at the top of the page.  Click Data on the menu bar.
 
The Archives page is the depository for items which might come in handy for future reference.  Most of the material consists of past bulletins.  The contents are subject to deletion if they get too stale but that won't happen often, if at all.  Archives are supposed to be "stale." Musty, anyway.  Click Archives  on the menu.
 
I have added a separate page for the birth chart of the United States.  Look for USA Horoscope on the site map.  I also moved related material from the Archives and Bulletin Board to the new page, mostly election commentary and a discussion of Pluto's effect on the economy.
 
The system and I are out of sync so an entry will often be dated for the previous day.  The sub-heading in red caps is the date of the report -- inserted by human hand (mine).  The date above is when it was posted (an auto-stamp with a mind of its own). 
 
Reports appear in advance.  When the planets are lining up, that could be as much as several days so individual daily entries may be grouped under one posting date. 
 
The pictures are chiefly dividers to distinguish one day from another -- in case those red caps aren't enough -- but I try to pick one that fits the theme of the day. 
 
If you click on a link and get a "page unavailable" message -- or if an "X" shows up where a picture should be -- hit the Refresh button on your browser.  This solves the problem.
 
 

Comments are always welcome.  Be sure to get in touch so I know you're out there!  You can add a comment to my guest book by clicking the button below.  Or you can e-mail from the "Contact Me" link.

A TOUCHY TUESDAY
Blue Beating HeartA Touchy Tuesday, Nov 24
 
We sally forth with good intentions but the drawbridge is stuck in place.  The Sun sextiles stalwart Saturn and the Moon is in idealistic Aquarius.  But the Moon is void-of-course until 11:09 AM EST (8:09 PT).  Allow for delays, no-shows, and snafus.
 
The period ends as the Moon enters Pisces, and exposes our insecurities.  Minutes after it enters Pisces, the Moon opposes vestal Vesta.  People will be reserved and reticent but the surface calm is misleading.
 
The Moon opposes empowering Pluto, and still waters bubble over.  We are rising to the occasion, and some of us are setting records.
 
The First Quarter Moon comes this afternoon, in 3 degrees of impassioned Pisces.  Quarter Moons are energizers but they rattle cages.  This one could open the floodgates.
 
We are extra sensitive with the Moon in Pisces.  People feel vulnerable and they are easily discouraged; some will feel threatened.
 
Vulnerable Venus squares acriminious Chiron tonight.  If you want to leave woulds, now's the time to scratch.  Fortune favors the peace-makers but the night owls will rattle skeletons.

A MAVERICK MONDAY
Red Glass Tumbling BottleA Maverick Monday, Nov 23
 
There's extra snap in the crackle and pop this morning, and it's enough to bite your head off.  The Moon is in ornery Aquarius, and the Moon opposes combative Mars before dawn.
 
People are hair-triggered and in a hurry but many are accident prone.  The Moon aligns with negligent Neptune, and a careless moment could be catastrophic.
 
Mobile Mercury conjoins sally-forth Pholus, instilling the courage to wade in -- or strike off on our own.  But some folks are going out on a limb or living beyond their means.
 
Lavish Venus squares indulgent Jupiter, tempting us to go whole hog (or to live high off it).  This is a "hard" contact between two softies -- Venus, the lesser benefic and Jupiter, the greater benefic. They only kill with kindness.
 
Some folks will feel the urge to splurge, others the urge to merge.  But we could be indiscriminate, only to regret it later.
 
This afternoon, it's eat, drink, and be merry as the Moon squares off with Venus and conjoins Jupiter.  Some will squeeze in some extracurricular coupling.
 
Uncharted waters are alluring but this evening we're adrift in a fog. The Moon conjoins hypnotic Neptune: Some will succumb to the siren's song, most will be lost in space.  After falling under Neptune's spell, the Moon is void-of-course:
 
In the East, it runs from 10:36 PM to 11:09 tomorrow morning.  (Onwe hour earlier for Central Time.)
 
On the West Coast, it's 7:36 PM to 8:09 AM tomorrow.  (An hour later for Mountain Time.)
 
These void periods are unpredictable but we are more spontaneous than usual.  It is a great time to unleash your creativity or let down your hair.  The night owls will be uninhibited.
 
7:03 am est

A SUNNY SUNDAY
Yellow Growing SphereA Sunny Sunday, November 22
 
The weather outside might be frightful but, astrologically, it's delightful -- or at least a definite turn for the better.
 
This is our first full day with the Sun in Sagittarius, the sign ruled by jolly Jupiter, the cosmic Santa.  We're beginning to conjure up the spirit of the season.
 
The Moon is in airy Aquarius, which stimulates our herding instincts. People will be gregarious and sociable despite some early grouchiness as the Moon lines up with grumpy Mars and peevish Pluto.
 
After that, we are in the clear -- and there is nowhere to go but onward and upward.
 
This afternoon, the Moon aligns with convivial Venus, and we'll take pleasure in each other's company.  Bon vivants will be out in droves.  It's a dandy day to circulate and hang out with friends.
 
The beat goes on tonight.  The Moon sextiles animated Mercury and lines up with Jupiter.  People will be open-minded and upbeat.
 
After that, the Moon sextiles forceful Pholus -- a "soft" contact; we can take it or leave it.  But many will elect to forge ahead, and fortune favors the bold.

A SAGGING SATURDAY
King Chess Piece FallingA Sagging Saturday, Nov 21
 
We are getting off on the right foot, at least.  The Moon is in even keel Capricorn, and the Moon sextiles stimulating Uranus this morning.
 
People are on the go and reaching out.  The Moon also sextiles the asteroid Juno, and we are in the mood to conjugate.
 
But thanks to a minor semi-square between vibrant Venus and stand-offish Saturn, we'll be increasingly antisocial.
 
Plus, the Sun is changing signs and we're caught in the switch.  The Sun enters Sagittarius tonight to kick off the holiday season.  But until it makes the change at 11:23 PM EST, vitality is lacking.
 
Roll with the punches, go with the flow, and don't try to push the river.  People will be pensive, preoccupied, and too pooped to pucker.
 
This evening, the Moon is briefy void-of-course but it passes in the blink of an eye:
 
In the East, the void Moon lasts from 10:04 PM to 10:11 PM.  (One hour earlier for Central Time.)
 
On the West Coast, it's 7:04 PM to 7:11 PM.  (An hour later for Mountain Time.)
 
The interval ends as the Moon enters Aquarius and delivers an energy infusion.  A few hours later, the Moon trines Saturn -- hardly glamorous but a good time to repair the damage.  The night owls will be sensible.
