April 17, 2026 1:52 AM PST https://youtu.be/PYOSc94BicA Aloha Fam! Please click the link above to watch the short video about this New Moon. There's one more thing I want to say that I didn't mention in the video, but please watch the video for context! Pluto sextile Mars... Pluto is in Aquarius. As we consider boundaries, underneath the need is a new, or renewed sense of alignment to self. In other words, "I must be true to who I really am". (Implying that in the past p

April 1, 2026 4:12pm HST The Aries/Libra axis revolves around themes of partnership and autonomy, group identity vs. self-identity, cooperation vs. boundaries, yes vs. no.  Libra, ruled by Venus, has to do with beauty, grace, and relationships. It instills charm, diplomacy, the inspiration to relate, and takes into account the perspectives of others. It tolerates the complexities that come with having two perspectives that are equally true, but perhaps aren’t completely comp

Wednesday, March 18, 2026 3:23pm HST The Moon is New at 28°27’ Pisces.  Pisces, the sign of “feel and flow” is an easy one to let go in.  With the addition of many harmonious aspects with the New Moon, it could be easy to blink and miss this gem, or sleep our way through it!  Pisces times are great times for sleeping and dreaming, aaaand…. There’s treasure here for us if we set aside a little time to focus.  This New Moon reminds me of a conversation I recently had with someo

... and Total Lunar Eclipse 1:38 am HST, Tuesday, March 3, 2026 https://youtu.be/dMerH5ae3oI The Full Moon in Virgo is accompanied by a south node total lunar eclipse. This is potent, and this is significant.  The energy of 2026 is go-gO-GO!!!  And it calls us to rise up and move forward!  Those catalytic forces have already begun to stir within the cauldrons of our souls. With the New Moon post, I talked about the lifting of the kapu, which is likened to the dissolving of re

Tuesday, February 17, 2026 2:01 AM HST https://youtu.be/2UYkCfG4bGo Quite a New Moon, this. To understand it, let’s first give it context.  Saturn has been slowly making its way through the last degrees of Pisces, and as of today has arrived at 0° Aries. This is monumental, because in just a few more days, (February 20) it will make an exact conjunction with Neptune in this degree.  But what has been taking place while Saturn finished up its time in Pisces? Saturn confronts

Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Full Moon in Leoooooooo : ). Leo is dramatic, Leo does everything big, Leo is unapologetically genuine, and always heart centered. What's the current astrological "weather", and how can this fire sign help us navigate? When it's chilly outside, Leo offers a hearthfire for us to gather around.

Sunday, January 18, 2026 9:52am HST Aloha Fam,  Greetings and Happy New Moon in Capricorn!  Wow, what an amazing lineup we have with the New Moon flanked by Venus and Pluto in Aquarius on one side, and Mars and Mercury in Capricorn on the other.  First, a bit about Capricorn’s archetypal energy.  The Wise Grandmother, the Hermit, and the Prime Minister. How does the wise grandmother become wise?  She has lived long enough to face challenges, and overcome them.  She has weath

Saturday, January 3, 2026. 12:03 AM HST Opposites attract, and astrological oppositions are seeking integration. But what could seem more opposite at times  than our heads and our hearts?  An age old conundrum… people try to strike a balance between logic and dreams, inspiration vs. practicality, responsibility vs. recreation.  How beautiful that at the beginning of the year we have a Full Moon in the heart centered, emotionally intelligent, “in touch with our true feelings”

(scroll down for text) Happy Solstice Friends! Ke Alanui Polohiwa A Kanaloa - Winter Solstice On the Winter Solstice we transition from Sagittarius season to Capricorn season.

Friday, December 19, 2025 3:43pm HST https://youtu.be/_0_3BN_mehg Freedom loving, adventurous, open hearted, honestly spoken, gypsy soul…. Sagittarius runs with the wind, chases the horizon, and thrives in the wild.  But why?  All of these gifts serve a purpose.  They’re aimed at seeking .  Sagittarius is, in its heart of hearts, a seeker; of  wisdom, truth, and deeper understanding. With constant questioning, a need to know, and  a natural belief in the basic goodness of li

Wednesday, November 19, 8:47pm HST What a special New Moon!  In Scorpio, with Mercury cazimi, opposing Uranus, who’s just retrograded back into Taurus.  Scorpio digs for the truth, and asks us to cultivate the courage and compassion needed to face it squarely, no matter how that face appears. Scorpio is passionate, complex, and honors the genuine act of becoming vulnerable in moments of intimacy.  Not hiding when we feel the urge to squirm out of someone’s penetrating gaze, o

Wednesday, November 5, 3:19 am HST Full Moons in Taurus tend to be extra beautiful.  Please, go outside to look, and see if you sense what I mean.  Not only is Luna, herself, a little extra, but all of nature seems to respond favorably when the Moon saunters through  this sensual Earth sign. Ruled by Venus, Taurus is motivated towards tranquility.  Simplicity and naturalness are the aim. Security, feeling rightly aligned with our environment, (both inner, and surrounding), a
