Welcome to Summer! Though it does mark the beginning of the shortening of days, Summer is still a glorious time. Warm, sweet evenings, hot days, festivals, and good times. The sky shows us some possibilities and a sober reminder of our times. The pattern is called a bowl; all points are within half the sky. …
I’m here with your Beltane horoscopes, good pagan folk. It’s the merriest time of the year! Life is springing forth in leaf and blossom, birds are gloriously singing, knowing what is coming. The days get longer and warmer. It feels as if the world is born anew! Astrologically, the planets agree! The sun, at moment …
Just recently, we saw a lovely full Moon in Virgo, with the Sun in Pisces. Yes, I know, pre-Eostara. However, that ties into other things going on which are pretty big this period. As you can see in the chart, Neptune and Jupiter are running very close together. In fact, by April 12th, they are …
Imbolc (also know as Candlemas) this year astrologically is on February 3, 2022, 1:50:36 PM, MST. As usual, the observance does not directly connect to the placement of anything in the sky. But then, our ancestors, I suppose, did not bother with such things. Midpoints between solstices and equinoxes may have been a bit “whatever” …
The themes of dying and being reborn are universal around the world. Indeed, the very fact of the Solar cycle as it is, with shorter days changing to longer; moving from less to more light; the analogy of death and rebirth echoed through our existence, lead us to the marking of our times in between …
Samhain, the day of the cross quarter between Fall Equinox and Winter Solstice, falls this year on November 6th, 10:58:50 p.m. MDT. That’s the astrological cross quarter, although of course secular Halloween is celebrated on October 31st, and most pagans celebrate Samhain that day as well. Read on for my astrology for the Samhain season …
The Wheel turns to the beginning point of Autumn. The astrology for Mabon heralds an interesting season ahead, dear pagan folk. This year, the fall equinox is on September 22, 2021; at 1:21:56 PM MDT. The fruitfulness of Summer is waning. Many crops have been harvested. Some remain to be harvested soon. The garden is …
The sky turns, and the time has come to celebrate the summer cross-quarter Sabbat that some call Lughnassadh (spelled various ways) and other pagans call Lammas. You can find its description and all our articles about it on our Lammas page: recipes, rituals, playlists and more. This is the time when the Grain King/Corn King …
Greetings from Summer! Midsummer this year is on June 20, at 9:32 p.m. (Mountain Time). Summer solstice is a time for pagans to gather and celebrate the gifts of Sol during the Sabbat of Litha. Our featured song for summer this year on Pagan Song is the lovely Anthem to the Sun. “We sing an …
Beltane (at the midpoint between the beginnings of Spring and Summer) comes at 0:47:10 a.m. Mountain Time this year. We find the Sun in the 4th house, nestled between Uranus and Venus; suggesting a rather interesting relationship with those we live with (or would want to). The Sun is pulling out of a square to …
