DMT Beauty Transformation: Gala Mukomolova

Your Horoscope This Week: March 13th to March 19th, 2022

March 13, 2022BruceDayne

This week’s stars shine a hazy blue, with the Sun continuing his journey through Pisces with dreamy Neptune in his wake. Mercury is in Pisces too, behind Jupiter, inviting a kind of slipstream sense of time and space, blurring lines between people and meaning. It’s not exactly an ideal time to have clarifying conversations or settle disputes but it’s a perfect time to make music and create art. Venus and Mars make their way under the stars of Aquarius, and when Venus makes a sextile to Chiron in Aries on the 18th there’s a sense that what’s beautiful about humanity is also what’s heartbreaking about it, that beauty — like music, like villages, like lovers — is something to aim for and something to protect. On the same day, we hold a full moon in Virgo, which reflects a cluster of planets in Pisces. It’s okay to be tired, to be exhausted is not to be without purpose. It’s ok to be critical, to be critical is not to be without compassion. It’s okay to want to offer more and not have more to offer. Don’t let comparison define your understanding of your best. Your best is a limit that you draw yourself or that your body draws for you.

Aries Sun & Aries Rising

As your ruling planet Mars continues his trajectory under the stars of Aquarius, it’s likely that new ways of connecting or networking will become available to you. Of course, you’re no stranger to the hustle and are more than well-versed at convincing strangers to sign on for a wild project or two. With Venus in the mix, there’s a sense that what you pitch now might hold higher stakes because it holds more value for both you and the people you work with. Venus in Aquarius makes a helpful aspect to Chiron in Aries on the 18th, the same day as the full moon in Virgo. If you can get clear about your investment (energetic, financial) and why it matters, you’ll find yourself more able to go all in on an emotional level, something that might help heal the ways this kind of work has disappointed you in the past.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Taurus Sun & Taurus Rising

Taurus people are known for not dealing well with change but just because Taurus people find change difficult doesn’t mean they’re incapable of it. Once a Taurus changes their mind, their approach follows suit like a track change on a railroad, efficient and ironclad. As Venus traverses Aquarius with Mars alongside, the effort you’ve been putting into your life begins to provide returns — proof that what’s meant for you arrives when it’s meant to. It’s your task to witness the ways the world rewards your efforts but it’s not always easy to live up to the kind of person you have worked to become. In preparation for Venus’s square to Uranus in Taurus on the 19th, which underlines these tensions, the full moon in Virgo invites you to reflect on work you’ve done to get this far and take pride in it. Forget obligation, remember desire.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Gemini Sun & Gemini Rising

When your presiding planet Mercury meanders under the auspices of Pisces, things tend to lose a little definition. Mercury loves to spread information and make connections but when Pisces is in the mix, that information can start to sound a lot like dreamlogic more suitable for Carl Jung than it is for the general public. Of course, if the work you do is deeply tied to dream logic — if you’re a musician, psychic, or a poet for instance — then this time can be potent for you, especially with the Sun and Jupiter in the mix, amplifying what you’re putting out there. If slipstream creating and delirious divination aren't your fortes, you might find that this week is a good week to keep a low profile and attend to the mundane home tasks that don’t require you to make sense to anybody but yourself.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Cancer Sun & Cancer Rising

While some people might have trouble finding the right words in the days ahead, Mercury’s transit through Pisces could have the right words finding you. Mercury winds their way toward Jupiter this week and there’s opportunity for new levels and depths of understanding — teachings that speak to your spirit and your heart. Still, you know better than most that not all ideas should be shared upon inception. Some philosophies need to marinate, some concepts need to be nurtured before they are resilient enough to withstand an outsider’s scrutiny. In preparation for the Virgo full moon this week, which aches to be understood in all her communications, spend time reflecting on all the communication tools you’ve picked up in the past couple of years and how you practice using them. You’re a fast learner, but transformation takes practice and time. ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Leo Sun & Leo Rising

Has Pisces season had its way with you? Have you felt yourself pulled by the undertow into deeper water until you found yourself farther out than you intended? Perhaps you were challenged to trust what your body already knew — how to combine both strength and surrender, how to swim to the shore in concert with the waves instead of against them. The Sun in Pisces beside Neptune creates a hazy sky and with so many urgent planets in your house of relationships, the yearning to connect authentically with others might feel like the only thing you can make out in all that haze. Connecting authentically is easier said than done but the opportunity is there if you’re ready for it. Let your curiosity and compassion take the lead and you’ll find that it’s not unlike negotiating waves: Listen to your body; don’t let fear tighten your grip.
ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Virgo Sun & Virgo Rising

A full moon in your house of self should have you feeling yourself and wondering who else is feeling you. Mutable moon baby, the stars line up in your house of relationships, amplifying the love and widening the field. The connections you make now are no distraction. They enrich the scope of your work with erotic purpose and reflect you back to yourself — your ambitions, your dreams, your further possibilities. Reception is the key this week and reception is not the same as making meaning. How does that song go? “All I ever wanted / All I ever needed / Is here in my arms / Words are very unnecessary.” Mercury’s transit through Pisces encourages you to feel rather than speak your way into connection — to feel your way back to yourself. ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Libra Sun & Libra Rising

How do you feel now, Libra, that Venus has passed the portal of Pluto and spent time under the stars of Aquarius? What are you holding and reworking on the other side of a retrograde that brought so many to their knees? If your relationship to your home or place of origin has changed, have you found new ways to take pleasure in that change? Death gives way to life, an ending clears the way for creativity — for learning to live in the world you have now and not the one you lost. If the stars have been rough with you, then be rough with the stars. Make demands, take up space, get wider with your desire. If what defined you once now only serves to hem you in, then it’s your work to defy definition, to keep what’s essential and leave the rest.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Scorpio Sun & Scorpio Rising

Mars makes his way through Aquarius this week, trailing in Venus’s wake. There’s a feeling that one must know what they want before they act on it, that desire clears the way for our will and our action. While that may be true some of the time, it’s definitely not true all of the time, a fact that the stellium in Pisces makes clear. For Scorpio risings, whose 5th house is ruled by Pisces, what’s pleasurable is discerned in relation to the other — through experience. What you value and how you express your desires has a lot to do with where you come from, but your relationship to where you come from changes as you change. Memory is a mercurial thing and Mercury in Pisces softens definitions, inviting you to express yourself in unconventional ways. Maybe a different approach will make all the difference in getting what you want.
ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Sagittarius Sun & Sagittarius Rising

With your ruling planet, Jupiter, in Pisces, you might be finding yourself getting tired of the hustle and drawn to rest and relaxation. Like Sagittarians, Pisceans love to wander the world but you’re just as likely to find them living it up under a pillow fort as you are camping under the Northern Lights. With Neptune in the mix, the dreamy side of Piscean nature is calling your name, especially Sagittarius risings whose 4th house of home is ruled by Pisces. But, the full moon in Virgo on the 18th might bring up feelings of insecurity — of not doing enough. It’s important to remember that rest, relaxation, even resplendence, need not be an essentially escapist endeavor. Creativity thrives when the mind is allowed to settle. Acts of reception like reading and observing build our relationship to beauty and our participation in creating it.
ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Capricorn Sun & Capricorn Rising

Perhaps this week has you feeling a little of pressure, Capricorn, but what else is new? It’s as Capricorn David Bowie once sang, “It’s the terror of knowing what the world is about.” And who is more knowledgeable of the world’s demands than you? The stars cluster in your houses of resources and communications, highlighting the measures you must take with your finances and encouraging you to be more collaborative in your efforts — even if it means admitting your mistakes and asking for second chances. It’s notable that the hook of the song is a kind of lament, but within it are modes of relief. In the spirit of the full moon in Virgo — who means to be a great teacher for you — it’s worth underlining Virgo Freddie Mercury’s presence, he calls love into the song and how Bowie replies to his call: “And love dares you to care for / The people on the edge of the night / And love dares you to change our way of / Caring about ourselves.”ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Aquarius Sun & Aquarius Rising

It should come as no surprise to you that the stars speak of major life changes on your horizon. It should come as no surprise because, in many ways, you’ve been preparing for these changes, anticipating and avoiding in turn. Whether you have all the information now or not, the process has begun. What’s important to remember as the days move steadily forward, and Mars and Venus inch closer and closer to Saturn, is that while it feels like certain aspects of what’s occurring are beyond your control, much of what arrives is what you’ve been calling in. The work now is recognizing your agency and your desire and letting those waves shape the shoreline as they may. Change will not look like one mundane decision or another. It will be undulating and all-consuming. It will look like the surface of the sea.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Pisces Sun & Pisces Rising

The Sun’s trajectory through Pisces can feel like a welcome sparkling shine on the otherwise dark waters that define these weeks. What lies beneath the surface of your world can feel unfathomable and familiar at once, especially with Neptune’s influence in the mix. Time, if it is real at all, serves as an echo reminding you that whatever you are living through now, you’ve lived through before, even if you feel it more than you remember it. While this state of being isn’t exactly foreign to you, it’s a state that solitude sustains and company disrupts. In the company of others, murky feelings can give off mixed messages. You can only be who you are, Pisces, and you can only communicate as you know how. The burden isn’t on you to prove to others that what you feel is valid, true, or worthy of recognition. But, if you’re looking for support for those who live on land, you’re gonna have to communicate in a language they can understand. ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Your Horoscope This Week: March 6th to March 12th, 2022

March 06, 2022BruceDayne

It’s the second week of March and the Sun shines on under the stars of Pisces, bolstered by Jupiter and looking toward Neptune. Heralded as a hopeful time of possibility, we watch threats of WWIII or we live through them ourselves. Disjunctive as the messaging may seem, we know that Jupiter expands and Pisces is in the habit of dissolving boundaries. Here, we see the tenuous and integral relation between nations — across waters — here we see how one small move can intimate great destruction. Venus follows Mars under the stars of Aquarius, sometimes wearing the same face: the goddess and the god of war, of battleships and bullets. There is a story about humanity here, too, about people who offer their lives for a cause they are convinced is just. Mercury enters Pisces on the 9th, diluting the truth of the matter even further and challenging the artists and activists of the world to reinvent communication, to relay messages to each other by way of pure innovation. Meanwhile, the first quarter moon on the 10th in Gemini trines Saturn in Aquarius, working with and around boundaries to create strong secure avenues of connection. War, in any country, is a human tragedy. But, all forms of resistance are miracles. They are the birth of small new worlds.

Aries Sun & Aries Rising

Pisces season can be a mysterious time for Aries babes. Mysterious as in full of wonder and furtive energy. Mysterious as in marked by an attraction to the inexplicable, drawn to that which lies beneath the visible world. If last week’s Pisces new moon stirred an old yearning in you, then the asteroid Eros’s ingress into Aries on the 6th throws tinder on the flames. Eros winks back at your ruling planet Mars, in Aquarius, strolling besides Venus in the sky. There’s a sense that some kind of darkness is behind you and more than one kind of beauty lies ahead. What’s necessary now is a reframe and a rephrase. The ones you have been waiting for are already all around you. Once the words feel right, the spell is cast, and the right hearts will come to the fire.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Taurus Sun & Taurus Rising

In the sky, the council of the stars gathers and reviews your case, advancing you forward with great assurance. On the ground, the road that once felt shrouded in fog begins to clear and your destination becomes clearly marked, fathomable and impending. Whatever signs you need to feel secure in your investment, the signs are there to see. All you have to do is keep moving forward as you have been moving: with an indelible faith in what the world has to offer you and what you have to offer the world. The people around you are a part of this story too, but they are not the story. They are here to teach you how to remain present. Can you indulge in the pleasure and pain that company brings you without letting that company distract you from your course?ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Gemini Sun & Gemini Rising

With the new moon in Pisces behind you and a first quarter moon in Gemini on the 10th, there’s much ado in the house of Gemini — “there was a star danced, and under that was I born!” It’s more than likely that new opportunities have surfaced from below the murky waters, more than possible that they might involve a bit of travel — and if not travel, then exchange with thinkers who are unfamiliar to you. It’s tempting to reach for the old ways and familiar pathways when you feel insecure, especially financially. But, sometimes, those old ways hold you back. Security, apparently, can also be a product of self-confidence. Of having faith that you can restructure and still remain intact. The more open and receptive you are to new approaches, the more those approaches will bolster the work that you have already done and hope to do.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Cancer Sun & Cancer Rising

Mars and Venus are officially past the portal of Pluto and intently holding hands as they move under the stars of Aquarius toward Saturn. It should come as no surprise to you, dear one, that it’s time for Cancer people, especially Cancer risings, to talk about finances and get their money right. Aquarius rules Cancer rising’s house of sex and debt, while Venus rules over both love and money matters. With Mars in the mix, progress is more than possible so long as you pour your energy where it counts (the other sides of the 8th house and Venus can pose as a lovely if not escapist distraction). Meanwhile, Saturn in Aquarius keeps time on your side and reminds you that, with a bit of discipline and creative exchange, your dreams can become real and tangible. ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Leo Sun & Leo Rising

Well well well, if it isn’t that old B- word rising up from the ashes like a wise hag. Yes, we’re talking about Boundaries — the who, what, when, where and why of them as they relate to your current events and surrounding environment. Mars and Venus proceed in your house of relationships and the other, reminding you that the more you act in accordance with your own values, the more you attract those who hold those values and honor them in you. Knowing what your values are is key and the beginning of boundary work, especially as these planets move toward Saturn. It is, at this moment, not enough to give lip service to the kind of lover and friend you want to be. Your words must be carried by your actions and your daily commitment to yourself. Which is also the self that asks for help, that makes mistakes, and grows from them.

ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Virgo Sun & Virgo Rising

With Mercury, your ruling planet, making their way into Pisces, communications with dear ones might take an unexpected turn. It is said, astrologically, that Mercury has a hard time under the stars of Pisces — meaning gets muddled and things get lost in translation. While you can do your best to safeguard against these kinds of predicaments by trying to be sparing and concise with your words, or by holding back on certain difficult conversations, things are bound to get slippery somewhere. Perhaps, then, it might be worthwhile to anticipate the rich and fertile aspect of the muddy waters — the place where you find an unorthodox way to express yourself, where something like music can stand in for the words that fail you. Let the co-presence of the Sun, Jupiter, and Neptune expand the way you relate to others and don’t worry so much about being misunderstood. Those who love you know your will is good and hold you in high regard.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Libra Sun & Libra Rising

It’s not easy to parse out the difference between our emotional needs and our physical needs and it can be very hard to satisfy both. People are often raised to treat them as separate entities, which require very different kinds of care. Whether for better or for force, Pisces season takes a toll on your body and your energy levels, and you might find yourself stretched past the bounds of your comfort or safety zone. Meanwhile, on the 10th, the moon in her first quarter phase in Gemini could have you putting your visions in front of your physical needs. Whether this sort of edge-play with your capacity stands to expand you or teach you your limits the hard way could prove difficult to discern at first, since Mercury in Pisces has a hard time delivering important messages. It's important to listen to your body, and to trust that even when it fails you, it is wise.
ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Scorpio Sun & Scorpio Rising

Family matters are difficult for most people, even those who claim a gentle childhood. There’s nothing easy about learning how to love a world, to see it for what it is and choose it anyway. Scorpio children are incredibly perceptive, aware of abuses of power, unspoken understandings, and difficult truths. They carry what they see within them before they are old enough to fully understand and make meaning of that understanding. Of course, Scorpio children grow into Scorpio adults that return to the table, ready to unpack what they’ve carried, to feel into the lessons that lie inside that burden. It is your right to lay your burden down, dear Scorpio, to acknowledge it for yourself, but you can’t control who is ready to sit at that table with you. Each of us has our own time; when they converge, it’s a blessing — not a given.
ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Sagittarius Sun & Sagittarius Rising

The past week might have exhausted you spiritually and emotionally, but the rest it demanded of you was invaluable. Against all odds and adversities, there’s something about this coming week that has you feeling yourself again. In your heart, the field is widening, and a kind of forgiveness grows there, for yourself and for others. Against all insecurities, there’s an electricity to your words, like a zap that jolts you awake and inspires you to keep going. If an idea has been on low power-mode inside you, now is the time to flip the switch. Give energy and attention to what excites you, what makes you feel alive and part of a larger human conversation. Clear space in your schedule for creative experimentation and new approaches to collaboration. Invite that energy into your personal life, your love life, and the way you touch yourself.

ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Capricorn Sun & Capricorn Rising

Of course Capricorns are more than the work they do but, given the flowing energy that moves between Saturn in your second house and the first quarter moon in your sixth, it’s likely that whoever you’re becoming is showing up powerfully in your work. The astrology of this week keeps that powerful energy flowing and has you making (money) moves, even if those moves seem small in the grand scheme of things, small steps add up. It’s important that you don’t ignore your instincts in the coming days, sweet Capricorn, and don’t underestimate what you’re capable of. In fact, it might be valuable for you to take a good hard look at who has taught you to doubt your intuition and why. Wasn’t it that very doubt that set you back when what you had within you was more than enough to carry you forward?ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Aquarius Sun & Aquarius Rising

While the Sun shines on Pisces’ waters, blessed by Jupiter and heralded by Neptune, the odds are in your favor. The lovers (Venus) and warriors (Mars) charge the field. They are your champions, calling your name as they break ground in search of what is true. It’s time you joined them; it’s time you claimed something back of yourself and your power. Be brave, Aquarius, and believe until believing gets you there. Once, writing of Sappho, Rita Mae Brown wrote, “My voice rings down through thousands of years/ To coil around your body and give you strength/ You who have wept in direct sunlight/ Who have hungered in invisible chains/ Tremble to the cadence of my legacy: / An army of lovers shall not fail.” Sixteen years later, in 1990, ACT UP took the last line as a call to arms: AN ARMY OF LOVERS CANNOT LOSE. Take heart in those that came before you — take strength.
ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Pisces Sun & Pisces Rising

Sometimes, becoming who you are means letting go of who you were raised to be. Sometimes becoming more of yourself means becoming less familiar and more strange — to those who knew you once and even (perhaps especially) to yourself. For all the grief these years have given us, haven’t they also taught us that life is tenuous and precious? Haven’t these years inside taking up odd hobbies and watching Tiger King taught us that humanity is nothing if not getting stranger? There’s a lot of talk about Jupiter in Pisces, about expansion and possibility, but an opening in the soul has no caveats. Like water making way until the crack deepens, you stretch and the whole world rushes in. Why not wait to see how deep it gets, how dark? All the selves you were are already past. Let fear be the thing that pushes you forward, since none of us are going back.

Your Horoscope This Week: February 20th to February 26th, 2022

February 20, 2022BruceDayne

It’s the third week of February, following the big full moon in Leo, and like most things that are Leo-related, we’re bound to keep talking about it. While we learn to hold the light of that moon with us, we move forward in Pisces season. The vitalizing Sun creeps ever-closer to Jupiter, and as Leo icon Kate Bush once sang, “Like the sun coming out… Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen. And I don't know when… But just saying it could even make it happen.” Mercury moves forward in Aquarius, forming a helpful sextile to Chiron and a square to Uranus on the 24th, charging our words with the strength to facilitate healing and change in our lives. While we’re out in the world, cloudbusting, Mars and Venus continue their conjunction in Capricorn. If you feel like making money moves, then the planets are with you, scheming up a reason to build something beautiful. Venus makes a sextile to Neptune on the 24th as well, reminding us that our dreams are valuable, and that what we call into our lives has the power to be transcendent.

Aries Sun & Aries Rising
It’s true that the full moon’s influence continues to shine on you long after her shape has begun to change. Leo rules an Aries rising’s fifth house, the house of pleasure and creativity, and while it may be hard for most of us to get it up — creatively speaking — when the state of the world is a major downer, an Aries knows that beauty and pleasure are a remedy for times like these. The conjunction that Mars has made to Venus in Capricorn bolsters your efforts and helps drive your creative force forward with a sure and determined step. The more that you believe in what you are doing, the more possible it seems, the quicker it takes shape, and the more it resembles the private world you long to bring into the light. ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Taurus Sun & Taurus Rising
Like a wise animal in a quiet forest, you’ve heard something from a long way off and you felt it getting closer. What can you say now, with certainty, about your circumstances? Has change arrived or do you feel the closeness of it nipping at your heels? The full moon in your house of heritage and home lit up what surrounds you, what you have to work with, and what you’ve been working for. It pulled against your preconceived notions of who you think you have to be in this world and what you have to say yes to. In its wake, your ruling planet Venus tied her wagon to the driving force of Mars, a herd of goats tugging you steadily forward. The journey will not be short and it will not be simple but it will also not be one made in solitude. Look again at who you allow in and who you keep at arm’s length, and make sure your boundaries reflect who you’re becoming so that who you’re becoming has good company. ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Gemini Sun & Gemini Rising
Pisces season can be a potent time for Geminis, who face the Pisces stars at an angle rich with challenges. The Sun lights up your house of public image, making you feel more visible and possibly more empowered. Of course, touching power is not a simple step into the light. It’s an internal negotiation about what you’ve been raised to believe about yourself and the roles you take on in relationship to others. The self-beliefs we hold are often inherited, and while they may have sustained the ones who raised us, it’s on us to know when we have paid our debts to them. With your ruling planet, Mercury, in Aquarius, there’s something to be said for learning when to open up the conversation. This week, try to pay attention to what experience has taught you about the world, it’s expansive and unpredictable nature, and the way that nature lives in you.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Cancer Sun & Cancer Rising
The week after full moon might have you feeling resourceful and erotically charged, rich in creative possibilties. There’s something to be said about the passionate energy that Leo brings to the table, about their desire to live out their potential. If this lunation has enriched your days, then it has fortified you for the work that the Mars-Venus conjunction has in store for you. The planets move through your house of relationships, past Pluto, and toward your house of transformation and debt. Think back to when Pluto made its way under the stars of Capricorn in January 2008: How has your approach to relationships changed since then on a structural level? What Pluto intimates, Mars and Venus make plain. What beliefs have you released, what fears still govern your attachments? What do you want — and are you sure?ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Leo Sun & Leo Rising
Just because the full moon in Leo is behind you doesn’t mean her affects have been put to rest. Tending to the old hurts of past relationships and their influence on your ego isn’t an overnight process. Hell, it’s not even an over-month process. A full moon’s wisdom comes in waves, so keep an eye on the tides and what washes up there, especially as we make headway into Pisces season with the Sun, Jupiter, and Neptune shoring up in Leo rising’s house of transformation. Of course, life isn’t all reckoning and self-improvement, even if you’re the self-help type. It’s the small things that make up a life: tiny pleasures, pets, errands and favors, mundane labors and daily devotions. As you go about your week, try to notice if you can feel your relationship to these things changing shape, if the person you’re becoming in your daily life can help an older self within you hold those old hurts in a gentler way.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Virgo Sun & Virgo Rising
For a long time, your idea of home has been changing, bolstered by your own work to confront ideas you might have inherited about where you belong and what you deserve to claim for yourself. In some cases, the work you endeavored upon was the work of unlearning settler ideas about land, about who it belongs to and building foundations on tenuous ground. With Mars and Venus beginning their path through Capricorn together, there’s a sense of movement in relation to that work. Each step forward fuels you and has a wide impact on your creative life. You’re learning, day by day, to make choices that reflect your values — and these choices transform the way you show up in the world, in your work, and in your body. Stick with it, Virgo, and don’t be afraid to take a few leaps of faith. They’re more than likely to pay off.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Libra Sun & Libra Rising
It’s Pisces season, and for Libras and Libra risings in particular, the weeks ahead can definitely usher in a busier time. It’s not unlikely that you might find yourself brimming with new ideas, especially in regards to writing. The third quarter moon in Sagittarius on the 23rd spurs those ideas on, and makes a square to the Sun in Pisces, challenging you to find new ways to apply your creative energy. Meanwhile, your ruling planet, Venus, continues her path through Capricorn alongside willful Mars. It’s important to show yourself a lot of energetic respect at this time, to recognize the many different ways that your commitments to friends and community members affect you. Pay special attention to your energy levels before and after any joint effort. Note what replenishes you and what depletes you. Just because something is meaningful doesn’t mean it’s worth your health and peace of mind.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Scorpio Sun & Scorpio Rising
Scorpio might have a bad reputation on the internet but, like a certain cartoon character with a red mane and a penchant for rabbits, they are mostly just drawn that way. In real life, Scorpios work hard on their reputations and even harder on their intimate circles, spending much of their life at the beck and call of friends and lovers in need of a listening ear or a moving truck. For Scorpio risings, with their house of friendships ruled by Virgo and their house of communications ruled by Capricorn, it’s fair to say that when it comes to being a steady and dependable friend, they are also drawn that way. I offer these facts as an affirmation and a reminder that while acts of service in the name of love and community building are not quid pro quo, they are evidence of a person who has earned the right to call in the kind of support they need. And, they’re proof of your right to draw a boundary around your heart and your life in response to those who should have you believe that you deserve anything less than what you give.
ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Sagittarius Sun & Sagittarius Rising
The moon is a powerful force in astrology. She pulls at our bodies of water with her own gravity, she pulls us, moves us forward and prompts us to look back. Despite all the movement, this constant cycling, the moon speaks to our sense of safety and security — and perhaps there is something here about recognizing that something dependable and constant need not always look the same. With Mars and Venus making a conjunction in your house of resources, you might feel a shift in your relationship to abundance and what it means to feel materially secure in the world. You might even find yourself making decisions and initiating new arrangements that challenge old beliefs around what you deserve and what you are worth. Try to remember that while certain approaches might feel unfamiliar, all ways of being were unfamiliar before you grew into them.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Capricorn Sun & Capricorn Rising
Capricorns are renowned for their work ethic, but you can bet your hard-earned bottom dollar that every Capricorn knows that all work and no play makes for a dull life. You work hard but you know how to play hard. The trouble isn’t decided if you get to play — it’s when. Of course, there are seasons that try to rob us of leisure, weeks that collect deadlines like small medals of bitter achievement. Breaks can feel impossible and time off is often burdened with the obligations of daily life that pile up on the side of capitalist survival. Sometimes, there is no perfect time to let loose; sometimes it’s on you to bend time and space in service to your pleasure; sometimes innovation is necessary when the hours fall short. The good news is that you are more than capable of bending time to your desire and your will — and where there’s a will there’s a way. ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Aquarius Sun & Aquarius Rising
A visionary like yourself knows that while your stars may stay fixed, how you interpret them — and yourself, for that matter — is liable to change. And while there are people who relish the chance to be one thing for as long as possible, and certainly people who consciously or unconsciously make demands of others to stay the same, those people are not *your* people. Which is not to say that they don’t belong in your world or that you cannot love them. Rather, this is a reminder that while love is free, it does take time and energy. Pay attention, then, to who replenishes that energy and who can and cannot recognize you. Make time for those who can keep you in good company no matter what path you choose, and those who support your vision of a world abundant enough to hold all the selves you wish to develop.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Pisces Sun & Pisces Rising
There is a time for being conservative, for holding yourself back until you know for sure what can and can’t hold water. Surely, your solar return is not that time. The stars, dear Pisces, are ever in your favor, even if the sea looks foreboding, even if the waves argue. The Sun in Pisces invigorates you and the heat of the moment pulls you toward the wild unknown, which is your province. The Sun moves ever closer to Jupiter, applying a conjunction toward the end of the week, and each stroke you take forward strengthens your resolve. Neptune is co-present, forming a trine to the Mars and Venus Conjunction in Pisces rising’s 11th house, helping you recognize the many ways that you’re expanding, not only as a person but as an integral part of your collective — a school of fish made more powerful together.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Your Horoscope This Week: February 13th to February 19th, 2022

February 13, 2022BruceDayne

The last days of Aquarius season are upon us. But the Aquarian influence on our collective is far from over, heralded by Mercury’s ingress into Aquarius on the 14th — just in time to add something eclectic and unexpected to our Valentine’s Day plans. Of course, with Pluto making a trine to the true node in Taurus within the same hour, what’s unsaid is just as likely to make itself known as what’s proclaimed. As is the case with many a difficult climb to a desired destination, finding sure footing often requires uncovering compromised ground. The Sun squares the true node in Taurus on the 15th, lighting the difficult way with a renewed sense of inquiry. There’s a sense here that each step is part of a larger discovery, that guarantees are hard to come by precisely because any guarantee made on compromised terms is compromised from the start. That to move forward is to relinquish certainty in exchange for something like faith. Even if it’s the simple recognition that if everything is connected, and if we change everything we touch, then some kind of change is always afoot. Venus touches Mars in Capricorn on the 16th, just hours before the full moon in Leo, adding will and devotion to whatever faith we mean to cultivate in ourselves, our role, our province. In many ways, a Leo moon is a time of gathering: gathering your people and your strength, gathering yourself in your own arms, gathering around a fire that’s meant to keep the whole house warm. Meanwhile, the next day, Jupiter in Pisces makes a sextile to Uranus, a tricky aspect that facilitates a shift, whether one is prepared for it or not. Perhaps the theme of expecting the unexpected is rightly reiterated here. Especially as we prepared for Pisces season, which arrives on our shores on the 18th with its own set of surprises.

Aries Sun & Aries Rising

If there’s anyone that can make the day last a little longer, it’s you, Aries. There’s an air of determination to your step in the week ahead, a driving force that knows what it wants and aims to get it. Mars, your ruling planet, shows off under the stars of Capricorn, and it’s likely that underneath those stars, you’re feeling yourself, too. When Mars makes a conjunction to Venus in Capricorn on the 16th, their combined power will be palpable. From here on out, strategy and charm can carry you a long way toward your goals. Making the distance, however, will depend on your ability to recognize your limits for what they are: an opportunity to build across networks and build intimacy through mutual support.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Taurus Sun & Taurus Rising

In a perfect world, rest would be easy to take whenever we felt needful of it. But most of us (if not all) have never known a world like this and have no certainty that we ever will. In an economy that relies on labor, rest is a stolen thing, an indulgence. But, rest is also where we get to separate who we are from what we do; it is a place of return and reclamation. When you feel far from yourself, Taurus, consider the possibility that the distance you feel is by design – that an economy that relies on labor relies on your belief that what you do defines you and sustains you. Although you might not be able to change your patterns financially – yet – you can change the conversations you have with yourself and your body about pushing through “at any cost.”ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Gemini Sun & Gemini Rising

Mercury, your ruling Planet, enters Aquarius on the 14th, and there’s a sweetness to it. While Mercury may not reside on the stars of Aquarius, it’s a location that offers you a new and better understanding of what’s afoot — a clarity of mind. Perhaps that’s the best kind of Valentine for an air sign that spends so much time trying to figure out how to do right, looking for all the answers when the answers aren’t exactly set in stone. Whatever insights this ingress ushers in, the full moon in Leo on the 16th helps you work them into your communications going forward. A full moon in the 3rd house for Gemini Risings is a ritual moon, although full moon is rarely the time to cast. Imagine then, what an unbinding can do, stripping the constraints of your past words, clearing the way for charmed agreements.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Cancer Sun & Cancer Rising

There’s always talk of the moon when Cancer babes are involved, but what of lunar nodes? The story of the moon’s orbit. A full moon in Leo is its own beast: a longing to feel secure, to feel as resourceful as you are venturesome. A full moon that squares the north node adds complexity. Challenging your sense of belonging, the full moon invites you to reflect on the ways your spirit has suffered by way of over-identification, intellectualizing away your own emotional experience for the sake of the other. The lunar nodes pull at the moon; they pull apart the story you are always telling. What sowed the seeds of the transformative journey you found yourself on? What grew, painfully and miraculously, from that place? What would it take to believe that what you nurtured is viable, that the way forward doesn’t look like the way back?ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Leo Sun & Leo Rising

People talk a great deal about Leos’ need for *attention* but many Leos and Leo-risings shy away from a direct spotlight. Isn’t that the logic of being a luminary? One hardly needs a torch when they are themselves the light. Perhaps, then, *recognition* is a cleaner verb: to be appreciated as singular, to be lovingly set apart. Like all luminaries, Leos know in their heart that there’s more than one way to shine, more than one way to appreciate and be appreciated. Whose night do you make brighter by way of companionship? Who accepts your absence and never loses faith in your return? In the last days of Aquarius season, the Leo full moon invites you to remember what sustains your light, especially in relationship to others, and especially in relationship to darkness.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Virgo Sun & Virgo Rising

Full moons have suffused our collective imagination with mystery for as long as people have looked at them. Lots of things get blamed on a full moon: internal chaos, vivid dreams, a tryst to end all other trysts. The brighter it is, the more untouchable it seems and the more powerful it feels. In a Virgo rising’s shadowy 12th house of undoing, a full moon in passionate and luminous Leo is all the more mysterious. The full moon in Leo demands recognition, invites you to look. But perception is different at night. It requires an adjustment that begins in the personal body and radiates out to the collective. Mercury in Aquarius understands this adjustment, informs it. The messages you receive from the moon, from a lover, are of great value to you. Trust the knowings that arrive as if by a paper airplane.Let them ride the wind and look closely where they land.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Libra Sun & Libra Rising

Libras are known for making and maintaining relationships. For Libra risings, this kind of focus on relationships can feel especially passionate, with a fire sign stationed over each house where consort and collaboration is likely. These days, the relationship between these signs is a challenging circuit. Your ability to relate, to communicate your ideas, is growing. But the wounds from past communications still throb and limit you. Your intense desire for fruitful connection builds toward the full moon in Leo — a desire to feel part of a greater whole, to experience mutuality as a remedy for isolation. The dance that begins between Venus and Mars in Capricorn on the 16th is as intense as it is productive. Let it lead you toward those who have shown themselves to be dependable, toward building something lasting on solid ground.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Scorpio Sun & Scorpio Rising

Of all the animals in the Zodiac, you’re the most likely to sniff out an “uh oh” situation. But, even the detective of the Zodiac can’t perceive everything. The cosmic world has so many veils, after all — so many alternate possibilities. Still, the Sun’s last stretch in Aquarius shines a light on the fortress of your comfort zone, tugging you toward disorder by way of small incidents and issues — as if to prove that life is uncontainable. And, if life is uncontainable, if being alive is a constant state of creative expansion, then keeping still is an impossible and stultifying effort — even if what you have at any moment is enough. The full moon in Leo on the 16th shows you a way out of the tower, reminding you that safety is a veil too, but you have the courage to part it.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Sagittarius Sun & Sagittarius Rising

Jupiter is at home in Pisces, but having your ruling planet set up shop in a square aspect to you isn’t exactly a gravy train. Or, if it is, it’s a gravy train that’s pouring somewhere you’ve got to get comfortable with before you can enjoy it. Generally, having it all sounds a lot better than it feels – especially since having it all often looks like everyday acts of temperance: a commitment to showing up, a refusal to look away from the scary things. Like loving a person or a place or a job or anything that succumbs to the Earthly nature of death. The full moon in Leo on the 16th invites you to sit with what you fear to lose, to observe what all your connections have taught you about the human condition and the gifts of perception those lessons have left you with. When Jupiter makes a sextile to Uranus the next day, that invitation might look more like a test – but the challenge brings its own rewards.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Capricorn Sun & Capricorn Rising

Of course it hasn’t been easy, how could it be? The world is a mutilated place and you are a steward of the world. The land changes, the Earth responds, and you respond to the Earth. There’s work to be done and you know it — a constant ever since Pluto began to play the long game under your stars, like a harrow digging up roots and casting shadows. But the work of the steward doesn’t preclude pleasure, it informs it. Deep in the dirt, you know what it takes to breathe life into a dying thing, to generate heat. Your will marries your desire as Mars makes a conjunction to Venus in Capricorn on the 16th, right before the full moon in Leo – a Capricorn rising’s house of transformation. Come on with it then, and resurrect what longs to live again.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Aquarius Sun & Aquarius Rising

While other signs relish the Sun’s rays, Aquarians tend to side-step the attention, wondering why their names keep getting called when they never signed up to play. There are many kinds of games in life, of course, and not all of them are optional. Games of chance, of strategy, games that require compromise. Mercury saunters into your sign on the 14th, offering new insights and information – a different playbook. So many planets remain in Capricorn this week, but don’t let that cardinal energy fool you. It’s a great time to receive messages, to pay attention to signs, to watch for other people’s tells — but, it’s not yet time to act. The full moon invites you to spend time with the other players involved before you play your hand.ILLUSTRATION BY barbarianflower

Pisces Sun & Pisces Rising

The last days of Aquarius season wash over you like so many waves, developments and setbacks. You’re used to the ebb and flow of the Earthly world, and you know that the state of a project reflects the people who work on it. You’ve learned that no matter how tenacious the labor, results are never guaranteed. While these realizations cause some people to become dispassionate, they fill your heart with a steady, even grace. You have the strength to see the magic that sustains a destabilized world, the mycelium sending messages between blighted trees. And you know, too, that while failure is a teacher few people want to study under, learning how to fail is the trade-off for being here — for being alive. If the chance arises, Pisces, fail proudly.

Your Horoscope This Week: February 6th to February 12th, 2022

February 06, 2022BruceDayne

The second week of February finds us knee deep in the Capricorn mud. Mercury moves steadily toward Pluto until they make a conjunction on February 11, and Mars and Venus in Capricorn make their own way forward stone by muddy stone. The Sun shines bright in Aquarius against the winter blues of the Northern Hemisphere, but on Earth, the road ahead must be cleared before it can be illuminated. Tenacious Mars in Capricorn makes a square to irreverent Chiron in Aries on the 6th before making a trine to destabilizing Uranus in Taurus on the 8th. There’s a prevailing feeling that if a change is coming, it comes slowly and it will require a great deal of work. Work that begins from the inside out, that challenges us to not only accept our mistakes but use them to do better. The first quarter moon in Taurus on the 8th lights up the night as it hangs between Uranus and the North Node; it makes a square to the Sun in Aquarius and Saturn too. A few days later, on the 12th, Mercury in Capricorn makes a trine to the North Node in Taurus, and the message is clear: The moves we make now will have enduring results, so the moves we make now must be disciplined and account for inevitable losses. What falls away, clears the way.
