earthly pleasures and heavenly delights
September’s space weather focuses on the inner planets (Mercury, Mars and Venus) making a series of aspects with the outer planets, as well as a Mercury retrograde in Libra. The most challenging aspects of this month are the heavy emphasis on Libra, which might bring …
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called a federal election today, as expected. Election Day is September 20, 2021. I pulled a chart for that day to see what sorts of issues may be top of mind on Election Day, and also what the results might be. …
It’s weird to post a forecast in the middle of the year, but here I am. I started writing this back in January but didn’t get around to finishing it. Better late than never, right? This is my interpretation of the major astrological transits hitting …
The rough skies of July are behind us now, blessedly, and I’m hoping we’ll start to see more progress being made in all the areas of life that were subjected to the tense and opposing forces of the recent T-square between Uranus, Saturn and Mars. …
Ever since I looked at Canada’s natal chart and discovered that it has Neptune on the Ascendant, I’ve noticed all the ways that this has manifested, past and present. Back in January, I wrote: Another dark version of Canada’s Aries rising/Neptune conjunct the Ascendant are …
July starts off with a tense T-square between Mars in Leo, Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus. Mars opposes Saturn on the 1st and squares Uranus on the 3rd. This time period promises to be nice and conflict-heavy – just in time for the …

There are some really great parts of May and some really challenging parts. The biggest event is Jupiter’s ingress into Pisces on May 13. As I described in my annual 2021 overview, this is the priestly king returning to the shores of his homeland, weary …
April promises to bring some tension and surprises after a relatively easygoing March. Some of the most notable aspects this month are a series of squares made by the handful of planets/lights travelling through the tail end of Aries (Venus, Moon, Sun and Mercury) with …
In honour of today’s Aries ingress (happy equinox!) I decided to take a look at the ingress as it hits Alberta. I just posted my delineation of Alberta’s natal chart yesterday, so this is a nice companion piece. Here’s the chart – in Edmonton, the …
Alberta was officially founded on September 1, 1905 with the passage of the Alberta Act. Saskatchewan was also founded on the same day, making Alberta and Saskatchewan “Time Twins” and forever linking the two provinces on an astrological level. I’ll look into this sometime in …
March should be one of the more positive, chill months of 2021. It starts off with some dispersion of the intense Aquarian energy that built up in February. As the month opens, the Sun and Venus have already moved into Pisces; Jupiter, Mercury and Saturn …
