November 2022 Horoscopes

There’s someone I want you to be with in November. I want you to be with your inner detective and consider what you need to feel truly flummoxed at a good mystery.

Astro Advice Column: All Too Virgo

How best to tap into my own chart (for specificity, it's virgo rising, sun in virgo in 1st house, moon in aries in 8th house) to heal historical wounds, and stop running the same goddamn old scripts?

Interview with Sam Reynolds on Creative Skepticism

I’m willing to express doubt or ask questions—hard questions related to astrology—questions like “Can you find your own way to answers that are readily available?”

Astro Advice Column: Middle Aged Capricorn

I’m embarking upon my Neptune square Neptune transit and would love advice on how to deal with all the fuzz. I feel constantly convinced of different daydreams that pass quickly.

Astro Advice Column: What a Moon Wants

I am curious about a very tight conjunction (same degree!) I have with my Moon and my Venus in my eighth house in Pisces.

Mistrust of Community

A lot of us don’t trust each other right now. There’s the busy isolation of capitalism, the disorientation of the pandemic, and the pull of spectacle.

Analyzing Mercury in Pisces

This is a prolific Mercury and not a concise one. What other people are satisfied doing in one paragraph, Mercury in Pisces chooses to draw out into a narrative that spans a trilogy. It complicates ideas that others see as simple.

Analyzing Mercury in Aquarius

Mercury in Aquarius has high intellectual expectations. They don’t let you get away with a subdued imagination.

Analyzing Mercury in Capricorn

Mercury in Capricorn is often embarrassed. This is the truth of Saturn wherever it shows up.

Scaling Down Symbols

Over the years, I’ve picked up just a few ways to work with people on symbols that feel like they must take on the most extreme form that they possibly can—symbols that frighten.

Analyzing Mercury in Sagittarius

You feel the height of Mercury in Sagittarius when speaking with one. You feel the bewilderment of faith, of believing in things that no rationally cynical person would ever believe in.

October 2022 Horoscopes

The ability to be right and the risk of being wrong is a distraction within conflict. Conflict can’t be won.

Astro Advice Column: Supporting a Partner Going Through Saturn Return

My partner is currently going through their Saturn return in their 12th house. Do you have any advice on how I can support them during this time?

Another Pandemic Winter

At the time of my writing, this will be the third time that many of us are noticing the breeze cooling, the air thinning, and the bugs maturing and thinking to ourselves “oh, it must almost be time for a pandemic winter.”

Analyzing Mercury in Scorpio

The air grows around Mercury in Scorpio. It becomes like a solid. It becomes something that you must learn how to navigate, how to walk into.

Traumabonding to Work

I didn’t want another person to save me. I wanted to be saved by my own ambition.

Falling Back in Love With Your Practice

I think that this is one of the hardest and most exhausting things about being an astrologer—this debilitating and haunting feeling that you must be a good astrologer if you are to be one.

Analyzing Mercury in Libra

Mercury in Libra indulges you. They laugh when you laugh. They know that your jokes are funny. Around them, you feel smarter, funnier, and more charming. You almost forget that they have been watching you very, very closely.

September 2022 Horoscopes

One of the hardest things that I’ve had to learn: there are some things that hard work will not compensate for.

Lunar Nodes in the Sixth and Twelfth Houses

Houses six and twelve are often seen as inauspicious houses. Not only are they cadent, they are also averse to the horizon.

The Climate Impact of Working

I wonder what would happen if we could figure out what the carbon footprint of our jobs were.
