EYE ON VEDIC FESTIVALS: Akshaya Tritiya And now for some good news!  The third day (Tritiya) of the waxing Moon in Vaishakha month – the only day when both Sun and Moon are exalted annually.

EYE ON THE SKY: SATURN IN EARLY SAGITTARIUS–AGAIN !  (sigh!) We get another chance to work on our Saturn issues of responsibility, hard-work, strong ethics and beating ourselves up as Saturn retrogrades into the early degrees of Sagittarius know as the gandanta or drowning area.   We went through this area Jan. 26-March 16th and this

EYE ON THE SKY: MARS SQUARE RAHU MARS SQUARE RAHU:   Full impact on Sunday April 23rd but very strong on Tuesday, April 25th. Leos will be impacted most by this aspect with Rahu at about 7 degrees Leo and get afflicted by Mars. This will bring out strong energy to move forward with martian energy

EYE ON THE SKY: SUN CONJUNCT RETROGRADE MERCURY Wednesday was  the most difficult day of the Mercury retrograde as it was a Wednesday ruled by Mercury and was exactly conjunct to the Sun, Thursday morning at 1:54 am Eastern Time.   Mercury is considered combust when direct within 14 degrees of the Sun but when retrograde

EYE ON THE SKY:  PLUTO RETROGRADE If I had not had so many experiences with Pluto, I could easily disavow this tiny planet but its power is anything but tiny.  As it stations to go retrograde, I often experience intense energy in my solar plexus and great energy and that also may be because I

EYE ON ASTROLOGY:  KETU/SATURN LESSONS REVISIT With Saturn stationary at 3-4 degrees Sagittarius and aspecting Ketu with a 60 degree aspect and within a few degrees, the intensity of this transit is heating up and deserves revisiting. This association can bring up emotional despair, melancholy, constriction, gloominess and selfishness. It can lead to stubbornness and

EYE ON THE SKY: COMPLEX EMOTIONS THIS WEEK Its Monday, ruled by the Moon and dedicated to Shiva and a good day for deep meditation but most of us have problems with Mondays unless you are Cancer rising, and have a really strong unafflicted moon in your natal chart connected to Taurus or Pisces or
