The 2013 Skywatch Datebook is now available ... [1]

Back to the archives

2012 Datebook – December – Moderation is the key. There are three major events in the Skywatch this month and two of them involve expansive Jupiter who will form a Yod alignment, which is an inconjunct to both Saturn and Pluto who are lined up in sextile on Dec 20 and 22. This huge, three planet formation looks like a Y and is called “The Finger of God” ( and you can guess which one). Jupiter inflates things and that’s the danger here – spending too much, asking for too much, expecting too much from this holiday season. Jupiter rules travel/foreigners, the law, horses, publishing and your sciatic nerve – potential problem areas for the young and old.

The third event is actually the most powerful but it is not a flashy aspect. Saturn in Scorpio lines up in a positive sextile to Pluto in Capricorn on Dec 26 and will also be in power all month. Sextiles bring times of opportunity and this one is especially powerful as Pluto and Saturn are in Mutual Reception – they are in each other’s signs which makes their connection much stronger. This sextile will reform two more times in the heavens in March and Sept, 2013. Saturn builds for the future and is realistic. Pluto directs his will and focus and takes command of the situation. For all of us this is the time to seize an opportunity and/or to take the responsibility to heal an element in our life on the deepest level – Pluto.

LOOKING AHEAD: JULY 2013 [6]

Back to the archives

Complicated. And fabulous. A powerful formation, an alignment of three planets all equidistant from each other creates a Water Grand Trine in the heavens in July. This pyramid alignment joins Jupiter in Cancer with Saturn in Scorpio to Neptune in Pisces. This hasn’t happened before in our lifetimes and won’t happen again this century. Jupiter rules expansion and growth. Neptune is the keeper of our dreams and ideals. Saturn has a practical, realistic attitude. All together they create the atmosphere that leads to success and satisfaction if you will take action in July. Trines bring times of ease when many will lay back and enjoy retreating. But they bring the best times to handle difficult problems and to be in front of the people who can help you. Water signs rule our emotions and feelings. Trust your gut reactions and be aware that your feelings won’t go away as we now have four or more planets in water signs in the Skywatch. This also hasn’t happened often in the last ten years. That means feelings buried long ago could surface this month—and for the good. So this is stellar energy for therapists and all healers to work with. Breakthroughs and inspired awakenings are all much more likely throughout the month. Of course, the energy in this threesome could also be your local drug (Neptune) dealer (Saturn) stocking up (Jupiter). Or this could be the month some folks kick the habit and/or deal with emotional problems in a new healing therapy. Be proactive this month and encourage your family and friends to help you complete a project or change a behavior. Help them do the same. Complicating this picture is that Mercury is Retrograde from June 26 until July 20 in Cancer, which is certain to bring problems from floods and storms over water—hurricanes. Matters from the past usually surface during Rx cycles, too, which can help clarify your future plans and wishes. Advice: keep your options open and don’t finalize anything while Mercury is Rx. And keep looking. The new doctor you see may not understand your condition, but the doc who can help you is next door. Do put your name in the hat—apply everywhere—give yourself the maximum chance to succeed this month. Miracles will happen. But only to those who are in the game.

If your birthday is this week (Jun 30–Jul 6)

Back to the archives

Your Solar Return has both stressful components and a Water Grand Trine which suggests a dream coming true up ahead, Cancer.

The tough part is Pluto sitting opposite to your Sun while Uranus throws a square to the same spot.

Changes are certain in your life—some not wanted—and this energy has been simmering in your chart over the last few months.

Advice: Let go of unhealthy situations and relationships, and you know what I mean.

Uranus will point out the truth of matters and people—don’t ignore it. Pluto will tempt you to cheat or manipulate the situation and that’s not the way to do things.

Better to focus on where you want to go and what you want to become.

Because lucky Jupiter is in your sign in this new SR—stick to the truth and what feels right, Cancer. And you’ll enjoy times changing.

THE WEEKEND: JUN 29-30

Back to the archives

SATURDAY:

Slow down, slow down. The Moon enters fired up Aries at 8:06 AM Saturday morning and then runs into a square with over-optimistic Jupiter at 9:35 AM. This is a minor square, but Mercury Retrograde can add a touch of confusion to any square that comes along. Green lights come on for work or play a few minutes later. The kiss of the day appears at 12:35 PM when the Moon trines sweet Venus who entered Leo last Thursday. Leo is the sign we associate with children, romance and having fun. Leo rules Disneyland and Vegas. And gold. Venus will now be blessing the fire signs, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius until she enters Virgo on July 22. Clear skies follow the welcome trine until the Sun and Moon clash in a challenging square just before midnight. A square to compulsive Pluto follows. No mercy in this pair. Call it early Saturday night—you’ll hear sirens in the city.

SUNDAY:
Something buzzing or bugging you is likely Sunday morning as the Moon meets Uranus, the ruler of electricity, fools and lightning at 7:02 AM. But that’s the last hassle in the Skywatch on Sunday as the Moon in feisty Aries sails out into calm waters for the rest of the day and night. Underdogs tend to win more in sports and life during Mercury Rx—let’s check out the win column after the games today. Get your rest on Sunday. Monday’s Skywatch is stressful. As times change.
