About Peregrine

 Hi and Welcome!

I go by Peregrine, and this is most likely the only time I will write in first person on this blog (unless I'm responding to a comment), but I figure it's the best way for everyone to get a sense of me and my work. It is my tendency to write from the standpoint of We, because I feel so deeply ingrained with the Collective. And over the next 30 years, thinking as We is going to be key to making it through the upcoming transits. I imagine you all Sense it as well. You've probably felt it your entire life. Like me. 

And it's this Sense which has inspired me to study astrology, or at least drove me to the Occult section at Hastings (showing my age here), which is where I purchased my first Astrology book when I was 16. And it wasn't a Linda Goodman book. But I can't tell you what it was either, because I ended up lending it out (after the pages were falling out of it), and never saw it again. Since then, I have amassed a pretty extensive library, have taken some courses, and joined the Astrological Association. The Astrological Association doesn't really make me more special than any other Astrologer, but it does provide me access to lots of online journals, conferences, and resources. And do I like to read, especially if there's a good puzzle somewhere.   

That all said, I never set out to become an Astrologer. Honestly, I think I was low key terrified to read professionally, because it is all interpretation. But I love the myths and stories behind the players in our Solar System and how all those metaphors mirror our own human existence. So I pursued a degree in English/Creative Writing, took electives in Philosophy, and embraced Astrology as a lifetime passion. But during the Pandemic, it seemed that everyone who reached out to me wanted to know about the current transits. It was a scary time for us all. My other work was evaporating into thin air right before my eyes, so I made an effort to answer. And then more people called. And I ran charts and conducted readings for anyone who asked. Then I followed up later to see how my interpretations panned out, and well, so far so good. Three years later, by request, I set up this blog as a sort of business card. 

So here I am! Peregrine, the Down to Earth Astrologer, at your Service!

Jupiter In Taurus - What Do We Truly Desire?

It is time to welcome another big astrological event - Jupiter has entered Taurus where it will reside until May 25, 2024. Jupiter is all about optimism, tolerance, and expansion, especially regarding spirituality, wisdom, religion, and the law, and in Taurus we are dealing with the things we value and possess, such as self-worth, property, talents, and other personal resources. Recall the last year while Jupiter was in Mars ruled Aries. We found ourselves literally fighting (sometimes with each other) to get back to “normal”. With the heralding of Jupiter in Taurus, we are experiencing the lifting of the Covid restrictions and paving of the way for some enjoyment. But there are lessons to note, as there are with a planet like Jupiter facing a series of significant aspects over the next year. We’ve talked a little about Jupiter previously, mostly in relation to Saturn. It’s hard to discuss Jupiter in relation to itself, as it is what is known as a Social planet. Basically, the smaller

Some thoughts on Pluto’s ingress into Aquarius - Collective Re-Birth

Everyone is talking about it. Pluto just entered Aquarius, and the world is losing its mind! We’ve heard about the last time it happened - when the French, American, and Industrial Revolutions loomed on the horizon. And it feels we are on the brink again! Extreme polarization dominates. It seems as if we are living in a giant centrifuge, and all we have relied on in the past is transforming in real time with no real clear vision of how it will all unfold. But what we do know is that we are beginning a 20 year transit that will determine long term consequences for humanity. In short, we are evolving. So where do we begin? First let’s look at Pluto. We can get a sense of its energy by looking at how its identity has shifted since its discovery. Eris not only took away its status as farthest planet from the sun with her discovery in 2005, and but because she was larger in size her presence ignited a debate which changed the way a planet is defined, thus demoting Pluto to a dwarf planet in

The Lunar Nodes (part II) - The Eclipses and Our Life Journey

Welcome to Part II of the three part series on the Lunar Nodes. In this post, we will explore Solar and Lunar Eclipses, their relationships to the Moon's Nodes, and how they may affect our personal and collective lives here on Earth. Recall from the last post that the Moon's Nodes are points in space and time which describe the orbital dance of the Earth and Moon around the Sun - the 2 points where their orbits intersect. Basically when the transiting Sun and Moon make a conjunction to the Nodes, an Eclipse will happen. So how does this work?  An Eclipse is observed when an astronomical body passes into the shadow of another astronomical body, thus obscuring its view 1 . This is a unique event effecting the Earth’s magnetic field, and certain conditions must be met 2 . For a Solar Eclipse to occur, there must be a New Moon (Sun/Moon conjunction) with the Sun and Moon also in parallel in declination. Lunar Eclipses happen during the Full Moon (Sun/Moon opposition) when the Sun a
