Finding clarity will be key as we cruise into the first full month of October. With major aspects and sign changes ahead for the star of Hermes, sorting out the balance of the year — our big dreams and immediate priorities— could help us win the race against time. Given…

As we slide into the last full week of September, the winter of our discontent may settle in early. Mars’s current cruise through the Via Combusta — the path of some of the crunchiest fixed stars in the firmament — may offer little constructive momentum. Opposing Chiron and Eris in…

Tension dissipates at the start of the week as a square between the two planetary benefics perfects.
