Romance on Neptune: Fantasy crushes & break ups from hell

December 12, 2018 by Luke Dani Blue

Picture yourself on a stereotypical date night. You cue up some Jose Gonzalez, crack a bottle of wine and/or a vape, dial down the lights, spark that incense. Maybe you’ve got a N*flix show on tap and a volume of love poetry in your back pocket. You shower, conceal your most realistic features – the zits, the scars, the undereye circles, the frizz—under a layer of make-up and hair product. You wrap yourself in an effervescent little bit of clothing […]

Growing up, growing old: Saturn’s Return

November 27, 2018 by Luke Dani Blue

“My Saturn return is killing me!” Many of my twenty-something clients book their first astrology reading with a version of this mournful cry. Invariably, it turns out they are not only not in their Saturn return, but are months or years away from its start date. I stopped being surprised by this a long time ago. The stress, anxiety and (often) attitude-created misery seem to be hallmark of the pre-Saturn return period. Throw in the progressed lunar return at age 27, and the late twenties […]

Jupiter into Sagittarius: Finding the hope

November 5, 2018 by Luke Dani Blue

Since last October, the planet of faith, truth-telling and savior complexes has been traveling through Scorpio, sign of paranoia, secrets and power trips. Aided by Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter has pulled the veil off large-scale sex abuses, inspiring survivors to tell their stories. But planets don’t have political agendas. Those of us who have celebrated the #metoo movement and a newfound Jupiterian hope in sexual justice have also watched abusers get brazen and gain in power. In our […]

Pluto Problems: Why You Don’t Trust Anyone

November 16, 2017 by Luke Dani Blue

This post originally appeared for my monthly Star-Crossed column on the awesome Little Red Tarot, which publishes a ton of other great stuff about astrology, tarot, queer magic etc, for your reading pleasure. At one point or another in our lives, everyone gets sucker-punched by someone else’s bad intentions. For people with Pluto strong in their birth charts, betrayal isn’t a one-time life lesson – it’s the story that repeats over and over, undermining your ability to trust. The other day, […]

Mercury Retrograde Survival Tips

August 16, 2017 by Luke Dani Blue

As of August 8th, we are in the midst of a particularly gnarly Mercury Retrograde. I blame August’s lunar and solar eclipses for throwing a bunch of emo-intensity and earthshaking change into the mix. In any case, welcome home to the usual Mercury Retro parade of ghouls: scheduling mix-ups, technology snafus, snarled traffic, minor car issues, mail slowdowns, long lines, miscommunications and other delays and inconveniences. Mercury trucks in the details that make our lives run smoothly, and that we take for […]

Charlottesville, Pluto and is This Thing We Call “America” Dying?

August 14, 2017 by Luke Dani Blue

Sending love and wishes of fortitude to all of you. This is a dark moment, and unfortunately the planets suggest the only way through is through. In the little picture, we’re moving deeper into eclipse season (a lot of change very fast throughout August); in the big picture, we are rumbling closer to the United States’ Pluto Return in 2022. For those of you who have experienced a major Pluto transit to a personal planet*, you’ll likely recognize the cold-water […]
