Risa's Astrology
“I Have Seen the Promised Land”
On Thursday, Mercury slowly moving forward, re-enters Capricorn. All communication becomes practical, matter of fact and may sound harsh.
Epiphany & the Three Astrologer Kings
In our beginning weeks of January 2017 there is already much activity in the skies influencing each of us.
Solstice, Hanukkah & Christmas – A Star Shines Forth
With the Sun entering Capricorn, winter is here (northern latitudes). Mercury is retrograde also in Capricorn and in the sky soon (Christmas morning) the planets (Venus/Jupiter) that formed the Christmas star more than 2000 years ago are trine (harmonious) on this Christmas morning, 2016.
Darkness Always Precedes the Light
This is our last week before Winter Solstice. Mercury retrogrades (Monday, Dec. 19) through Christmas and into 2017.
Light in the Dark – Full Moon on Santa Lucia Day
Tuesday, Dec. 13 (Winter Solstice, Julian calendar) is the Feast of St. Lucia (Lucy). Lucia, from Latin “luc, lux”, means “light”, “lucid.”
Advent, Liturgy, Light in the Darkness, St. Nicholas
December, month of hopes, anticipations and expectations (suspense for the little ones), is filled with festivals of light in the ever increasing darkness.

America – A Curious, Fascinating and Fragile Venture

Voting in Scorpio – the Test. Which Candidate is the Disciple?
Libra said to us, “Let choice be made.” Now in Scorpio we act upon our choice by voting. I urge everyone to vote. Everyone’s vote is important.
Ghosts, Goblins & Spirits
As the Sun enters Scorpio we all of a sudden enter the autumn festivals, especially Halloween (the day after Scorpio new moon), All Souls and All Saints days.
