Disciplining Our Discipline

Monday - August 18, 2025

All of us have an area in which our self-discipline is lacking. Whether it's in our diet, finances or personal relationships we all have a place where we've taken the easy way out.

It's important to recognize these areas, and to work toward improvement, and ultimately a strong sense of self-discipline. But as you walk thru that process please avoid the "woulda, coulda, shoulda" self talk.

Yes, we all would be a different place, or could be living life differently, had we chosen differently. Maybe right now we should be doing something. But the old tactics of "blame and shame" about what we didn't or couldn't do will only go so far towards making sure the future is more disciplined.

That is the teaching today as Chiron in Aries retrogrades back to 26°. Chiron is a place in that chart where an old wound keeps showing up, a place where you struggle with a self-discipline. Today as it retrogrades back to 26° - a Saturn ruled degree, and Saturn is the planet of discipline - it's an invitation to commit to a new self-discipline. One that avoids the hurts and wounds.

This alignment asks you to commit to the future. And while we can learn from the past, let it motivate you not shame you. Let it guide you rather than keep you confined to mistakes that are now more memory than they are reality.

week of august 10th, 2025

these are written predominantly for the *rising* signs but they are also intuitively "channeled" enough that they should work for any dominant energy you have! (try your sun if you don't know rising, or more advanced readers can try moon, anywhere you have a stellium, etc and see what works best for you!)

aries: this very busy week features most prominently your sign, your 4th house, and your 5th house. you are most nurtured at home among comfortable people who love you. but going out and having fun also brings some love in to you.

taurus: in a flurry of astrological events it may be best for you to focus on the conjunction of your benefic ruler with exalted benefic jupiter in cancer - your third house. write and write a lot. speak too, and especially in community. you have something to say that needs to get out.

gemini: big news, your finances/resources get a huge, HUGE blessing and at the same time, your ruling planet stations direct. your thoughts and words gain unprecedented clarity. and transactions and exchanges of all ilk start to move at a much more comfortable, significantly less delayed pace.

cancerians: whatever else is going on, in a personal sense it is likely to be overshadowed by the good graces of a conjunction of benefics in your sign. and even if you don't feel like you're having the most benefic time of all time, you are blessed and bless others even without knowing it, or knowing how. you have a magic touch this week.

leo: after what may seem an aeon (or two...) mercury in your sign goes direct in an overall quite beautiful astrological setting. clumsiness and delays begin to fade into your usual grace and majesty, at least begin to, even if you still encounter an odd hiccup here and there. and if you do, they turn out to be little miracles.

virgo: as i see it your sign has two rulers, mercury and ceres. the former goes direct this week as the latter goes retrograde and meanwhile, also, your friendships and social connections are a key to previously only dreamed of opportunities. so while it may feel a little chaotic, especially in terms of any shared resources or unconventional behaviors, it is all pretty much in your favor.

libra: you could hardly ask for a better period for your vocation, reputation, and/or legacy. career moves are smiled upon. public offerings take off like a rocket. be advised that your relationships are, as always, important, but at this time not the focus: your public facing life as an individual brings all other blessings toward you.

scorpio: study, deep work, and travel are auspicious at this time and you may see increasingly speedy forward movement in career/reputation fields. meanwhile, it's wise to slow down in your day to day routines and do not skimp out on caring for your body, no matter how much you would love to be a disembodied orb of spirit.

sagittarius: cancerian energy may not be one you relate with very closely but your ruling planet there is making a beautiful conjunction with venus this week and if you need to dabble in real estate or an inheritance or combining households or the occult, believe it or not, this is a great time for it. meanwhile put romantic affairs on a backburner if possible, and embark on a deeper and more spiritual course (of study if you like, or simply a journey would also do.)

capricorn: lots of people are going to be jealous of your relationship astrology this week. it's a nice time to form or strength relationship and marital commitments, although with ceres going retrograde in aries at the same time i would delay merging households for now.

aquarius: mercury retrograde loosens its chaotic grip on partnerships plus you start to see the sacred in the mundane in all the little things in life. romanticize everything.

pisces: for you this week is a deeply romantic period with a lot of potential for creativity and creation - you may be creating or you may be enjoying the art of others. music is extra deep and extra touching now. be wise with money and resources but keep your heart open to all the zillion forms of love around you.

I’m not sure the precise number of people I need to say this to but the answer to “reduce human suffering” is not “destroy suffering humans” much in the same way that setting your math test on fire in the exam room does not assure you 0% wrong answers and an A+ by default

Open To Receive

Thursday - August 7, 2025

The Moon in Capricorn is still void of course until 9:18pm ET tonight. See yesterday's post for more details.

This void of course ends during a day in which the Sun is at 15° Leo, a space that invites you to open up to your heart. Occurring during a void of course Moon it means open up to things your mind has been resisting.

Oh yes, your mind will assume it can speak for the heart, when it's job is to work to accomplish what the heart wants. It WILL work in alliance with the heart if you will simply allow it to.

What are you resisting that the heart could really use right now. Think simple, don't over complicate it. Maybe you need more rest, a bit more quiet time, or more time just engaging with your favorite hobby.

Whatever that is, and while the Moon in Capricorn is still void of course, it's a good time to give your heart that one little thing. It will have a greater impact than you realize.

you’re 23 and you learn rosemary kennedy was lobotomized at 23 and you’re like my god she was barely an adult. then you’re 27 and you’re like holy hell amy winehouse was just starting her life. and then, presumably, you reach 36 and you’re like christ alive marilyn monroe was only 36. and so on and so forth

learning to stop hating yourself isn’t something that happens overnight.

it’s a series of negotiations you make with yourself over your whole life. it’s making one less self-deprecating joke. it’s looking at yourself in the mirror with a little more generosity. it’s forgiving yourself for that little mistake.

it’s not one thing and then you’re good. it’s many small choices you can make that slowly make your brain and body a little less uncomfortable to live with

The Big Retreat

Wednesday - July 30, 2025

There are a lot of moving parts today, so let's break it down.

First, we are in a 37-hour Libra Moon Void of Course that will end on Thursday, July 31st at 1:24pm ET when the Moon moves into Scorpio. During this time emotions may feel flighty and ungrounded. It is best not to make major decisions about things as you might make permanent decisions based on temporary feelings that are not very grounded.

At 10:41am ET Chiron in Aries goes retrograde at 27°, starting a long retrograde period that ends in January 2026 when the centaur/asteroid body goes direct at 22°. With Chiron's retrograde ALL of the energies (Saturn and Neptune) in Aries are retrograde, which means our ego, as well as our courage, are about to go inward. Literally, people who thrive on their ego and who lack internal courage will double down on both. Expect a rise in psychotic behavior as the inability to get what the ego wants literally drives some people crazy.

But for many of us this is going to be a period of deep reflection. What does it mean to live with an elevated ego, to be motivated by higher ideals and outcomes?

And finally, at 11:57pm ET Venus moves into Cancer. As she spends her last day in Gemini our minds - during a Moon Void of Course - is grappling with what it means to be valued by others.

Put all of this today for today, and it's a wonky day of trying to find your footing, trying to figure out where you belong in this world, and what is this highest action to take.

From now until January, when Chiron goes direct and Neptune reenters Aries, expect that you will wrestle with your ego, and the ego of others. But it is all for a higher purpose, and to move humankind to a consciousness we haven't been in a very long time.

Punishing yourself with cruel words and actions will not turn you into who you want to be. Real lasting changes emerge from compassion, patience, and trust in yourself.
