I’ve attended so many astrology conferences in my 40 years of practicing astrology that I’ve lost count, but never before have I attended a Queer Astrology conference. A number of months ago my daughter discovered the event online, and asked if I wanted to go. My answer was a resounding yes. I was signed up…

The full moon of 1/31/2018 is getting a lot of attention because the of the “Supermoon” effect.  That happens when the moon’s orbit around the Earth brings it closer to us than usual. The moon’s closest approach is called the “perigee,” and when that coincides with a full moon it appears larger and brighter than average in the winter…

Megan leaned forward and pulled another tissue from the box.  As she wiped her eyes a gust of cold air blew through the closed window of my office. “Feel that?” She said. “It’s Jerry’s ghost” she looked at me. “I feel him near me all the time.  Does the chart say anything about that?” I…

During the third week of October just as Jupiter, the planet of opportunity and expansion moved into Scorpio, the sign of transformation, I went to an astrological retreat just outside beautiful Zion park in Utah.

Yelp and I created a lovely site promoting my business. Check it out here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/astrology-by-moonrabbit-saint-paul Within weeks I had four 5 star reviews. I…

Counseling bereaved people came into my life after the loss of my twin sister, although I’d already encountered death as a teenager.

In 1991 I saw my first total Solar Eclipse in Baja California with a small group of alumni and scientists from the University of Minnesota. Totality lasted 6 minutes and 53 seconds, a long time to observe the beautiful and phenomenal changes that come with this celestial event. Shortly afterwards my life became very busy.…

  If you were born under the signs of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus and Scorpio, or have planets in middle or late degrees of these signs, the next two eclipses will bring change of some kind into your life. Eclipses are opportunities to bring “hidden things to light” and will often, over a period of time,…
