The Daily Astro for January 8, 2013 by Valerie Sylvester Yesterday I wrote about one of the day’s noteworthy astrological aspects, Mars in Aquarius square Saturn in Scorpio. Since the Moon (women/the masses/publicity) was also involved in aspects with Mars and Pluto, and Venus was aspecting Vesta (currently retrograde and in Gemini), I expected the […] Continue reading
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: 600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 3,900 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 7 years to get […] Continue reading
The Daily Astro for January 7, 2013 by Valerie Sylvester I took about a month off from The Daily Astro due to being totally astonished, not to mention exhausted, by the events of the rather (ahem) dynamic year of 2012.

The Daily Astro for December 7, 2012 by Valerie Sylvester The Moon begins the day in Virgo, then migrates to Libra at 1:37 PM EST. Today is full of squinchy aspects that can throw us off our game.

The Daily Astro for December 6, 2012 by Valerie Sylvester Virgo Moon today. It’s also the Last-Quarter Sun/Moon phase, at 15 degrees Sagittarius and Virgo, so the Moon squares the Sun.

The Daily Astro for November 29, 2012 by Valerie Sylvester The Moon is still in Gemini and void of course. To quote the appropriately-named-for-a-Gemini-Moon band Talking Heads, “You’re talking a lot/but you’re not saying anything”. It’s one of those days when things could go slip-sliding away. We’re still processing yesterday’s Lunar Eclipse, in any case. […] Continue reading
The Daily Astro for November 28, 2012 Gemini Lunar Eclipse by Valerie Sylvester This month’s second eclipse is a penumbral lunar eclipse (9:46 AM EST) that activates approximately 7 degrees of Gemini (the Moon’s position) and 7 degrees of Sagittarius (The Sun’s position). It lasts a little over 4 ½ hours, which means will radiate […] Continue reading
The Daily Astro for November 27, 2012 Word for the day: “Juggernaut”. There’s a tremendous amount of energy available today. The question is, how will you use it? The Moon makes stress aspects to Mars and Pluto, and Mars and Pluto are churning in tandem in a conjunction aspect in the sign of Capricorn. The […] Continue reading
