On 19 April 2025 at 10:19 pm EDT, the Sun enters Taurus I, which Austin Coppock called "The Plough." Associated with the Three Graces, attendants of Venus in her bathing, it's a season for starting six-month projects, whether growing food or changing your world.

Dolos, a trickster god, rules the next ten days as a kind of Lord of Misrule. Can we distinguish Truth from Falsehood? What do the paw prints in the snow tell us about how each of them moves in the world?

The warren of tiny offices and cubicles of Buckingham Palace, or the rows of desks stuffed into unadorned corridors in the Kremlin, or similar set-ups behind the Press Room at the White House or in the Party Congress building in Beijing... These are places where the plans of the powerful often get turned into written policy memos by fresh-faced interns and the nieces and nephews of oligarchs, and the up-and-coming party apparatchiks who launched the first Youth Party program at their high school when they were only twelve.  True believers all, they think that doing the will of the seniors will guarantee their career trajectory forever. Sometimes they're right.

Most of the time, they're under the tired old gaze of a party line bureaucrat, a deputy chief of staff who's been a career workhorse for forty-seven years. Some people think he retired years ago; others are surprised he's not dead.  Like Saturn whom he resembles, he wields the sharp scythe against any staffer who gets out of line, and for him the hourglass is always dropping sand. THere's never enough time, and yet — with youth and vigor to spend as he wishes, it all gets done.

Sometimes, though, at least once a year, the Sun waltzes in like he owns the place (hint: he does) — and sets everyone to bowing, curtseying, and kowtowing to his magnificence.  He sets new plans in motion, regardless of what his usual deputy wants. And things change, not because anyone in the room wants things to change — but how do you say NO to Dearest Leader? 

 The Sun enters Scorpio I tomorrow at 6:15 pm on October 22, 2024 — and stays there until 1 November in the early evening, for just a little over 10 days and 20 minutes. This is the home of the Nymphs, the 'feminine' spirits of naturally beautiful places and placid groves and springs.... who are also the teachers of the useful arts and crafts to mortals. It's a good week to get out your sewing needles, your saws and planes, your knitting needles, and to produce work.

The Sun enters Cancer II on 1 July 2024 at 4:31 am EDT. Called "The Walled Garden" it was a time associated with the divine Hercules and with the planet Mercury.  We tend to think of  Hercules as the muscle-bound warrior, but this is instead the cross-dressing grizzled veteran shaving his beard and living as a woman in order to atone, and heal from, the PTSD of his battlefield experiences at the behest of the Oracle of Delphi.  If even the greatest heroes can suffer mental breakdown — if even the most famous achievements of legend can wound the heroes who did them — maybe we owe it to ourselves to heal the wounded, and give the anguished the tools and techniques for their own well-being.

The season of Aquarius III called "The Knot" begins tomorrow at 1:50 am EST — administered by the Moon and associated in Hellenistic Greek thought with Osiris, it's in part about loosening our attachments and unbinding. What do you need to let go? Where do you need to release? What ties should no longer bind you?

Sagittarius II covers 2-12 December 2023 — the season of Kore, the girl-goddess sent to be Hades' bride in the underworld. When she returns in the spring, she's Persephone, powerful and frightening. What part of yourself is still afraid of the dark?

The Sun enters Libra II tomorrow morning at 7:30 am EDT. Called "Two links of a chain" and associated with the Greek mythical figure of Kairos, a god of Opportunity... it's a great time for you to link together both hope and action toward your goals. Be cautious with Saturn and Mars moving toward a trine on October 12, and the eclipse on October 14 — you've got work to do? Don't delay.
