The body has seven chakras, the Sanskrit word for energy centers. Each chakra in your body has a specific association with physical, psychological, and spiritual needs. Each chakra also has a planet associated with it (as well as many other things like colors, stones, sounds, and other natural elements). Here are the planets and signs [...]

It’s Mercury Retrograde Season Again…
Yes, my peeps, it’s about that time. Mercury will turn retrograde next Friday morning for the last retrograde round of the year. Sneaking one more in before New Year’s! Lucky us. I’m posting this now so you can get your house in order beforehand. A few points, if you like to read fast: No, Mercury [...]
World AIDS Day, Home-Style.
It’s that time of the year again, when everyone dons red t-shirts and buys red iPods and feels good because $3 of their $400 American Express bill will go to raise awareness. Raising awareness is awesome, and there are lots of great causes that deserve attention. But I have an axe to grind about this one. [...]
A Planetary Lexicon
Time to rethink and reclaim some archaic words. Here are a few to test on your tongue: Solitary From the root sol, relating to the sun. Describing something or someone as solitary implies they’re a bit of a loner, but it also means one-of-a-kind. Your sun sign, and the placement of your sun, describe how [...]
Full Speed Ahead! …Mostly.
Some days are rather “quiet” astrologically. Others are anything but. Today is the latter. Stephanie Gailing has a great reflective piece at Planetary Apothecary on what’s going on upstairs today.

So there’s a big potential case out there of senioritis/Friday syndrome out there. Good day for brainstorming or connecting [...]
The Transit Laboratory
One of the many services I provide for you here at Signs of Potential is approaching my life like a mad scientist’s test lab for astrology. I do this out of love, don’t worry. It’s an adventure. But I decided, after yesterday’s outing, to bare a little more skin here in terms of how daily [...]
The Mulligan Moon
We’re getting a do-over. Last month’s full moon was at the very beginning of Aries, giving us that stretchy Aries/Libra energy. And… guess what. We’re doing it again- tonight’s full moon is at the very tail end of Aries, and slips into Taurus just 45 minutes later. It’s like an inside-out blue moon: instead of [...]
