Don’t be surprised if you’re feeling a major shift from your norm as we transition into the Chinese year of the fiery horse. Power is key! Cosmically, we’re experiencing a solar eclipse in Aquarius, the sign of our collective, humanitarian spirit.
Also, Saturn, linked with structure, organization, tangible karmic lessons, is sitting kissing close to Neptune (illusion, imagination, fantasy) in the sign of Aries, the zodiac warrior. To make a long story short: It’s a good time to envision your well-being and take extra good care of yourself. You can worry about Mercury being retrograde in Pisces, sign of the water loving fish, after Feb. 25th.
This morning after I finished sending my latest astro blurb to FB, a brilliant golden light flashed across the room about 4 feet in front of where I was sitting. Ten seconds later, the roaring sound of thunder crashed across my living room filling my being with terror. I wasn’t sure if I was on my way to the other world as I saw my two cats running for their lives and ducking for cover. All the metal in my mouth felt as if it was a melting saw blade cutting through my cheeks. My heart went into crisis mode as I realized that a thunderbolt had just entered my personal world with a crash. Was my house about to fall apart? Was Thor coming to take me to the underworld, or was Kali coming in person to give me a difficult lesson that I’m needing to learn? While adrenalin pumped wildly throughout my body, I wondered if I would survive the moment.
Challenge is a word that leaves out the horrific feeling of stark terror. I had left the word thunderbolt out of my astro narrative, not wanting to offer an overly negative divinatory message. WTF!!!! And now I had just come face to face with its sublime strength and beauty and watched it light shine like a spotlight on me from a close distance.
I’m breathing a bit better this afternoon after I had time to sleep and decompress. And I’m only feeling a stressful headache. Maybe I shouldn’t stay awake til 5 am writing blogs??? What I know for sure is that I have so much gratitude for being alive today. My take away message: Enjoy each moment…in spite of the complexity of cosmic messages, as long as we’re awake in our body, we can each reach for the stars of our desires.
Sending wishes for your inner light to be one with the eternal flame burning within the compassionate hearts of master creators of the universe.
Love to each and every one of you!

Thank heavens we can say farewell to two planetary retrogrades as Mercury and Saturn have recently gone direct. Their forward movement bodes well for complex issues flowing in a more harmonious direction and difficulties being resolved or becoming less intense. The zodiac wheel turns bringing opportunities for travel, forward movement, new choices, and conscious evolution. Mother Earth is celebrating by dancing with the wind and playing hide and seek with those who walk with an open-heart on her meandering paths. Connecting with your inner silence and sensing the nurturing she gives brings tangible bounty into view. This last full moon of the year (in Gemini) is the brightest you’ll see in a more than a decade as its light waves farewell to 2025 and illuminates new views of pathways to 2026.
Our new oracle deck, The Zodiac Light Oracle, published by Inner Traditions, is now available and can be ordered from your favorite bookstore. (After 30 years of playing with its creation, I’m doing cartwheels to celebrate its birth.) You can read more info on my home page and book links.
Happy holidays, peace, and heart energy love to all. Please view your Holiday Astroscope….

If you’re experiencing the unexpected, Uranus may an influencing factor. From now through Feb. 3 2026, it is retrograde (the celestial appearance of backward motion). Astrologically, its potentially yin or yang influence is known to awaken the “dawning light on reformed beginnings, meaningful ventures, intuition, and positive growth…” (quote from Stars, Cards, and Stones). But its present backward direction may trigger unexpected events and challenging solutions to old problems such as riots or demonstrations or hassles with rejuvenation procedures such as face lifts gone wrong. Sometimes called Herschel, it has the reputation of influencing karmic directions and altering frequencies in the space that someone considers their private, psychic comfort zone. Not to be taken lightly, one of its primary duties is removing chains of oppression and modifying the annoyances caused by other’s dissatisfaction.
Uranus co-rules (with Jupiter) the Sun sign Aquarius, (the zodiacal humanitarian) and the 11th house on the zodiacal wheel that is linked with community affairs and friendships. It is the planetary sign of the rebel, teenage rebellion, breakthroughs or break-ups and a sudden impulsiveness to protect those who appear to be under the weather or abused by other’s wrong doings.
Not surprisingly, Uranus rules the Tarot card the Fool, (expect the unexpected) and through this major arcana card numbered zero, it’s planetary attributes are considered favorable for increasing “in the now” communications. Key to this card’s interpretation are the phrases “rebel without a cause,” “don’t hold me down,” and the words “unconventional” and “sudden change.”
A poem in this moment for Uranus
Butt-Bare Naked, Unafraid, and Impulsive
Transcendent dreams of awakening
Invites the restless heart
To soar high like an eagle,
With uplifted wings of freedom loving, bright boons
Upholding truth while living with passion to invoke a better world.
Oh dear me…my bed is calling and my cat is yawning…there’s so much more to say about Uranus…but not now.
Love to all,
Kooch

It’s an unusual full moon time with Saturn, sign of restrictions and limitations conjunct the Sun sitting in Pisces, sign of dreams, strong emotions, and the imagination. If you feel overcome by confusion or become lost in a psychic fog, listen intuitively to your heart’s desires to gain a better sense of direction. Besides the current eclipse changing the lunar vibrational frequency, Mercury retrograde begins on the 15th– the be extra careful day, the “Ides of March.” While navigating the potentially, uncertain ride through these celestial shifts, hold on to your trust that you’re gaining clarity and moving toward your perfect destination.
Affirmation: I am confident of my ability to ride the waves in the ocean of life and find my way to the shore of success!

Energy and light will be increasing as the new moon rises on Dec. 30th in the sign of Capricorn, the zodiac force of stability and common sense. This is also the sign that shines above the threshold of the new year, inspiring billowing hopes for overcoming challenges and creating purposeful success.
The expanding lunar glow inspires the promise of ever, new possibilities, so it’s best to celebrate the vision of who you are and the dreams of who you want to become. As said by the wise, “you are what you think.” Whenever possible, explore the love within you and reflect the wisdom dwelling within your unique being. Now is the perfect time to step up with your inner light to make the world a brighter place.
Happy and grateful for you all,
