divine harmony is available for in-depth astrology readings. she combines a psychological and spiritual focus on the natal chart and helps youto understand your Soul's journey in deeper way.
all times are in PDT. and for those of you new to my column, i write in lower case for a reason as i find it symbolic and resonant with how i view the world. i capitalize certain words in ways to illuminate their power. otherwise, all is equal to me and i write in lowercase :)
monday march 23rd-
we are in the deep dark of the moon- which is a time of endings, release, letting go, loss and renewal. we began spring in a waning dark moon- which i have called ‘the beginning of the descent’. we are in a collective descent right now and being able to be with the dark, turn within, feel and work with our emotions is going to be key to moving through this collective ‘dark night of soul’ without soul loss. please give yourself time and space to turn within right now.
the sun in aries squares the nodal axis at 5:42pm, creating a pivotal point of choice. we can keep on doing the same old patriarchal karmic patterns of power over, control, domination and taking of resources OR we can move into the north node destined path of evolution and think more cohesively and like a global humanity. the Wounding of the Toxic Masculine (chiron in aries) is being magnified now and we all have it in us- men and women. opportunities to make a change in our trajectory- personally and collectively- is present right now!
tuesday march 24th-
the new moon at 4’12 aries is exact at 2:28am PST, commencing a new lunar cycle that focuses on new beginnings, taking action, activism and agency. chiron is conjunct this new moon and so is lilith- highlighting the chiron/lilith conjunction from 3/3. healing our relationship with the masculine- within and without- is key right now. if we are overly aggressive, selfish and me-first- then we need to learn to be more relational, less entitled and aware of others. if we stuff our anger and don’t take a stand for ourselves- we are being called to step more into our power while still retaining connection to our hearts and capacity to do so from love. this new moon is square the nodes- so we have an opportunity to change the direction our lives are going in personally and collectively! pay attention to what you set into motion right now- it can be the repeat of an old cycle or the start of something new!
at 4:43am venus in taurus semisquares chiron in aries, creating tension between the Goddess of Love and the Wounded Healer. the new moon was conjunct chiron and early morning we also have venus/chiron which is a call to dive deep and face wounds that hold us back from living with a more deeply open heart. self worth and self Love are key – and so is love for others and all of humanity. this occurs in early morning hours so pay attention to your dreams upon waking for important messages from your Unconscious!
at 10:07pm chiron in aries semisquares ceres in aquarius, creating tension between the Wounded Healer and the Great Mother asteroid Goddess. wounding and pain around how we have treated Mother Earth, her children (us and animals) and the precious natural resources we all need to live healthy lives upon her can arise right now. ceres in aquarius challenges us to think like a global community- not just selfishly about ourselves at the expense of others. this is not just about hoarding toilet paper- this is about the big businesses running our world and taking more than they need and dumping toxins in our shared water, air and soil. see where you are part of the problem and then do the work to change your position- it will contribute to the collective right now.
wednesday march 25th-
at 6:27am the sun cojoins chiron at 5’21 aries, linking the conscious self and ego with the Wounded Healer. illumination is brought to our biggest wounds and pain- but the path to healing is also being illuminated. how are you with asserting yourself, expressing anger and taking a stand? do you overdo it in aggressive, selfish ways or do you underdo it in passive, codependent ways? pay attention to what arises today and use it as a hint about where your healing journey wants to take you next.
thursday march 26th-
from 5:01 to 5:02am mercury in pisces semisquaresw jupiter and eris and then at 5:11am jupiter squares eris for the first of 3 times. mercury with jupiter eris brings important information, communications, insights, intuitions and dreams- PAY ATTENTION. mercury is in pisces though so we need to discern information and Truth from illusion, confusion, fear, fantasy and deception.
jupiter in capricorn squares eris in aries for the first of 3 times- bringing a clash energy between the planet of expansion and excess and the Goddess of Discord and Chaos. saturn squared eris in january 2020, pluto’s first of 5 squares was in january as well. this is the 3rd social or outer planet trigger of eris this year. eris gets a bad rap and is often only thought of as negative. but in her positive manifestation she is the activist and one who is willing to take a stand and fight for the Truth. she disturbs what is disturbing and unhealthy. she reveals shadow rather than creates it.
jupiter can throw more fuel on the fire right now- and we could have a revolution on our hands! being willing to question old structures and ways of doing and being are key right now. some things not only hold us back but they keep us small and stunt our evolution. discerning baby from bathwater is key.
the sun cojoins mean black moon lilith at 6’40 aries at 2:19pm, linking the conscious self and ego with the fierce Dark Feminine! sun/lilith in aries is the fierce Warrior Goddess who sees the shadow, speaks the Truth and lets the chips fall where they may. usually we need to be aware of HOW we do this (it needs to come from the heart) but the astrology this week has been very supportive of finding a way to say/see what needs to be said or seen- and do it with Love. our commitment to the Truth needs to be greater than our commitment to safety and security right now.
at 4:32pm jupiter parallells saturn, aligning the planet of expansion and the planet of contraction by declination. this brings intimations of the jupiter/saturn conjunction happening at the winter solstice in december 2020. PAY ATTENTION! the embodiment of the age of aquarius is incoming- the true birthing and bringing into manifestation. but first we must see all that blocks us from birthing this new age. 2020 is about magnifying what is blocking us from this. inner work and shadow work is the personal path that will contribute to collective healing and awakening right now.
friday march 27th-
mercury in pisces semisquares pluto in capricorn at 4:42am, creating tension between the mind and intellect and the Lord of the Underworld. from yesterday to today mercury has triggered the pluto/eris square. pay attention to information, communication, ideas, insights, dreams and intuitions incoming. be willing to see and hear the shadow. don’t just be all love and light or deluded and in denial. discern baby from bathwater right now.
at 4:48am pallas athena in capricorn squares eris in aries, creating tension between the Wisdom and Warrior Goddess and the Goddess of Discord and Chaos. big things are going on politically and behind the scenes. pallas is magnifying what needs to be seen and dealt with. eris is pulling back the curtain to reveal the shadow. big astro unfolding from 3/20-4/4!!!! (read previous week forecast for more info). find your center in the storm- find your grounding in the midst of uncertainty.
at 9:24pm venus in taurus trines jupiter in capricorn, linking the two Benefic planets in positive ways! venus in taurus is uber sensual, embodied, abundant and natural while jupiter in capricorn is great for career growth, work success, and self mastery. the two together in earth signs can be amazing for work and money- so any new ideas or opportunities incoming should be embraced. enjoy the physical aspects of life right now. get a massage, go for a walk in nature, have a glass of wine, sleep in high thread count sheets. enjoy being in a body!
saturday march 28th-
at 5:00am jupiter conjoins pallas athena at 23’56 capricorn, aligning the planet of expansion but also excess with the Wisdom and Warrior Goddess. pallas is revealing the Bigger Picture at play- but there can also be magnification of patriarchal thought and ideas that are actually NOT the answers. more of the old paradigm is NOT going to help us or save us. think outside the box (thank Goddess eris is part of the planetary lineup right now)
venus in taurus trines pluto in capricorn at 7:57pm, aligning the Goddess of Love and Beauty with the planet of transformation, empowerment and intensity. venus/pluto is great for depth and passion in relationship. intimacy can deepen- with others and with ourselves! venus is focused on abundance, embodiment and connection and pluto is adding a deep capacity to expand all of the above! this is a great time to get deeper in self-Love, self-nurturing and self-care. it is also a great time to deepen our existing healthy, healing relationships.
sunday march 29th-
ceres in aquarius semisquares mean black moon lilith at 7:26pm, creating tension between the Great Mother asteroid Goddess and the fierce Dark Feminine. the two Goddess energies in tense aspect can bring up a lot of rage and anger from the feminine- women and the feminine within in men but also with Mother Earth and the Great Mother. the mother archetype is not always kind, compassionate and forgiving. sometimes she has to step in and smack us upside the head to see thatwe are heading in the wrong direction. reality checks about what it means to care for the ALL and not just for the self or the 1% are incoming. are we willing to listen and make some huge planetary changes???
it’s a potent week- sending Love to navigate it with much grace and ease…

Divine Harmony is dedicated to communicating with one’s higher Self by way of the celestial realms. Just as the microcosm is contained in the macrocosm and vice-versa – Divine Harmony believes that the stars and planets have connections to the people, places and things that inhabit the earth, and there is a way to find the pattern of communication and connection by divining the stars.
BML (black moon lilith) is being included in the weekly interpretations now. the highest expression of joining these two is symbolized by the high priestess tarot card. she sits between the black and white pillars- the black being the pillar of severity and the white being the pillar of mercy. i use the mean position of BML, which in contrast to the fluctuating motion of the true position, advances steadily.
