Morning Trio

The Vancouver rain has stopped awhile, giving us a clear view of the night sky. In spite of the glow from the city lights, before sunrise this morning we had a lovely view of the Moon, Jupiter, and just below Jupiter, the fixed star Spica. Not only was this a peaceful sight to behold, the astrology suggested by this conjunction of Jupiter and Spica is said to be quite fortuitous for certain individuals. Are you one of the lucky ones?


Today Jupiter is situated just shy of 23° Libra (measured in the tropical zodiac), closely aligned to the position of Spica. Jupiter is known to bring good fortune, expansion, opportunity, knowledge, and a positive approach. Spica brings fame and success beyond one’s wildest dreams, with a pure sense of goodness and the desire to protect the innocent. Coupled together, this Jupiter-Spica duo can bring a very favourable influence, especially to anyone with planet or point near 23° of the Air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius). Does this include you?

Winter Progression

Astrology can be used as a tool to make sense of the past as well as give some indication of the future. As 2016 draws to a close, it’s a nice time to reflect on what the path of the dwindling year brought to each of us.

Lunar Eclipse – 27 Sep 2015

As did many people here in the West End, we walked out by the inukshuk at English Bay to see if we could get a glimpse of tonight’s Lunar Eclipse. But at 7:30 pm, we were still too early. We wandered along Denman Street, glancing up the side-streets and alleys, but still couldn’t see the moon. Finally, as we meandered back home, a small group of folks were staring up at the eastern sky, and there we saw it. Red and mystical. Captivating but so very quiet. Suspended in the sky between apartment towers.

April 2015 Lunar Eclipse – The Pizza Moon

Just after 5:00 am Pacific Daylight Time this morning, we experienced a Total Lunar Eclipse — a “blood moon” in fact, as the sun’s light passing through Earth’s atmosphere cast a reddish-brown shadow on the moon. Perhaps this one, for reasons I’ll describe below, we should call the Pizza Moon.
