July 18, 2012

July 18, 2012—Greetings, Mama Moon. On July 18, the new moon in Cancer brings our nurturing natures to the fore. Cancer is the mother sign of the zodiac, the ruler of the divine feminine. While new moons are a time for planting seeds, this particular lunar moment is more about stillness than action.

Full Moon in Capricorn: Appreciating Men, Celebrating Independence and Re-visiting Resolutions
July 4, 2012
By Guest Blogger
July 3, 2012—The full moon in Capricorn lights the skies, awakening the divine masculine in us all. Capricorn is the zodiac’s big poppa, the sign associated with fathers, men, and all things traditionally male. No matter our gender, we all have traits that are classically feminine and masculine. Carl Jung referred to this as the animus and anima. Just for this week, set your “lady parts” to the side and try on traits such as:… Read More >

By The AstroTwins
Monday, June 4 marks the second eclipse of the summer of 2012—a lunar eclipse in Sagittarius, the zodiac’s Archer and seeker of higher wisdom.

May 7, 2012

Who’s up for a transformation, maybe even an extreme one? Saturday’s full moon in Scorpio was a “supermoon,” which means it occurred at the closest possible proximity (perigree) to planet Earth. That makes its lunar effects ultra intense—in a sign, Scorpio, that already is ultra intense. Hang on to your spring bonnets people, because this supermoon can usher in some epic changes. Scorpio is represented by three animal totems, which symbolize spiritual evolution: the scorpion,… Read More >

January 23, 2012
By The AstroTwins
January 23, 2012—It’s the first new moon of 2012, and this time, it’s also the Chinese New Year. The fierce, fabulous Dragon roars in; the flames of its breath fanned by air-sign Aquarius. Dragon years are intense and karmic and can bring births, deaths and major transformations. The last one was in 2000, another year like 2012 that had significant myths and even legends around it (remember the Y2K data-crash scare that never happened?). End… Read More >

December 24, 2011—This past Saturday a new moon moved into traditional, persistent Capricorn. We wondered: Is it gonna be a greeting card Christmas, with families gathered ‘round tree drinking wassail, caroling and waiting for the first snow to fall? (Even as Jewish girls, we’re not immune to this fantasy!) Well, with a Capricorn new moon joining the Sun and intensifying Pluto, we might just get a touch of that old-fashioned experience this holiday season. Capricorn… Read More >

December 12, 2011
By The AstroTwins
December 10, 2011 - Speak your mind! This Saturday brings the Gemini full moon, one of the year’s peak moments for expressing yourself.

November 10, 2011
By The AstroTwins
November 10, 2011 – The bull is ready to charge! The Taurus full moon marks the culmination of whatever we’ve been building since May. Taurus is an earth sign, and the ruler of the material realm.

While our culture may tout constant change, Taurus the builder reminds us… Read More >

Libra New Moon: The Power of Balance
September 27, 2011
By The AstroTwins
September 27, 2011—Pause, reflect, recalibrate. We’ve reached the halfway mark with the new moon in Libra, the zodiac’s midpoint sign. It’s time to look over one shoulder and also to look ahead—to measure progress using the Libran gift of judgment and to craft a thoughtful plan going forward. Libra is symbolized by the Scales, but it’s more than just balancing two opposing forces. It’s taking the time to weigh options, to step back from “doing”… Read More >
