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 SUNNY SUNDAY
Yellow Growing SphereA Sunny Sunday, November 23
 
Live in the moment today, and savor each tick of the clock.  It is the last easy day we will have in awhile.
 
Animated Mercury entered swashbuckling Sagittarius last night, joining the Sun and Mars in the sign of the Archer.  They are all steaming into a triple-conjunction, tempting us to shoot from the hip.
 
This unfolds next week as radical Uranus turns direct and compelling Pluto enters Capricorn for a 16-year sojourn.  Seismic changes are brewing.  It's four days and counting until the lid comes off.
 
Today, we might as well eat, drink, and be merry.  The Moon is in lively Libra, stimulating our herding instincts along with the mating urge.
 
People need people when the Moon is in Libra.  And most folks are on their best behavior.
 
The Moon trines curative Chiron this morning, giving us a chance to make amends (if required) or to clear the air.
 
This afternoon, we have to go with the flow but fortune favors the flexible.  We are oozing into the Dark of the Moon, low ebb in the lunar cycle when energy tails off.
 
Relax, unwind, and enjoy yourself.  This evening, the Moon squares off with indulgent Jupiter, and we'll have a yen for life's pleasures.
 
Tonight, we embark of a magical mystery tour as the Moon trines dreamy Neptune.  It is a dandy time to unleash your creativity or to cuddle up with your favorite pet.

A SOCIABLE SATURDAY
Martini Glass, TumblingA Sociable Saturday, Nov. 22
 
Weekends were made for the Moon in Libra though they rarely coincide.  This time, however, we are lucking out.
 
The Moon pranced into lovable Libra last night after going void-of-course for all of 19 minutes.  (For the record, it was 3:02 AM to 3:21 AM EST.)
 
An hour later, the Moon sextiled the Sun -- their first contact with the Sun in Sagittarius.  Everything's coming up roses this morning, and we are looking on the bright side.
 
But if we're not out and about, we're on a hot tin roof.  The Moon aligns with antsy Uranus and sextiles motivating Mars before lunch.  Fortune favors the forward -- a good time to break the ice.
 
This afternoon, we are left on hold.  Mental Mercury enters Sagittarius tonight for a stay until December 12.
 
People will be more broad-minded -- and open to new possibilities.  But the devil is in the details, and we could overlook a fatal flaw.
 
That especially applies this afternoon while Mercury is void-of-course -- meaning it has lost contact with the solar system.  Allow for mix-ups and mental lapses.
 
But at least the mood is mellow.  It is a good afternoon to hang out and to get acquainted.  People will be affable and good-natured (but don't expect clear thinking).
 
The beat goes on this evening -- a great time to go out on the town or to host a candlelight dinner for two.  In the wee hours, the Moon squares off with voluptuous Venus: The night owls will drop pretenses.

A FIERY FRIDAY
Fire Growing Right Arrow 1A Fiery Friday, November 21
 
The early birds are ready to rumble but they could be jumping the gun.
 
The Moon is in vigorous Virgo, and the Moon opposes ornery Uranus this morning.  Watch for bolts from the blue, bats out of hell, and outbreaks of misbehavior.
 
Hours later, however, the Moon conjoins sobering Saturn, and we come to our senses.
 
Jupiter trines Saturn today, which means the Moon kisses Jupiter, too, as it joins forces with Saturn.  Blessed are they who take the iniative (and manage to keep their cool).
 
We have major changes on the horizon.  Uranus turns direct next week as Pluto enters Capricorn to stay.  Plus, there is a triple-conjunction of the Sun, Mercury, and Mars.
 
The Moon will trigger the energy when it joins the formation on November 27.  This will be the New Moon, when the Moon conjoins the Sun.  Some things will never be the same again.
 
Watch for straws in the wind in the late morning hours, as the Moon sextiles mindful Mercury.  Let it slide this afternoon.
 
The Sun enters Sagittarius this afternoon, beginning the last third of Autumn.  It will take ahwhile to acclimatize.  Don't overtax yourself.
 
It's mostly downhill this evening, as the Moon squares off with ponderous Pluto.  Anticipate dark moods and hard attitudes.  The night owls will be grumpy.

AN EFFECTIVE THURSDAY
AbacusAn Effective Thursday, Nov. 20
 
If you have projects to finish or a problem to fix, now is the time to take a hands-on approach.  Don't wait until next week because it won't be any easier.
 
Expansive Jupiter trines sobering Saturn tomorrow but the Force is with us today.  This alignment is unspectacular but slow and steady saves the day.  It could also rescue the chestnuts.
 
The Moon is in virtuous Virgo -- people are serious, responsible, and well-intentioned.  And they are willing to cooperate.
 
Our easiest interval comes just before 1:45 PM EST (10:45 AM PST), when the Moon trines vibrant Venus.  On the whole, we'll be more approachable, even altruistic.  It's a good time to ask a favor (or to offer an apology).
 
But strike while the iron's warm.  After that, we will be on edge and some will be subject to mood swings.
 
It will be a good evening to take care of chores and to catch up on things you've been putting off.  You may not enjoy it but you'll hate it less.
 
The night owls can make inroads -- if they avoid losing their heads.
