“Courage is knowing what not to fear.” Plato The planet of expansion enters the sign of restriction and width becomes once more proportionate to height. After a whole year of jubilance in its own sign of Sagittarius, Jupiter now meets the real world where growth and magnificence have little or no space or are at best held under tight control. Needless to say, Jupiter is in its fall in Capricorn. The transit will begin on 2nd December 2019 and end on 19th December 2020, Jupiter and Saturn will then be conjoined at 0° Aquarius on 21st December (an event happening approximately [...]
Neptune turns direct on the 27th November at 15°55’ of Pisces, its own sign. This means that uncertainties or lack of clarity that you have been internalizing and that may have surfaced from the past, finally start to lift as the fog clears (look to the houses where you have Pisces on the cusp to see where the fogginess may have been manifesting for you as well as the sign/house/aspects of your natal Neptune). Neptune transiting through the houses has the effect of “dissolving” the matters concerning that particular house even though the process is usually very long it is nevertheless [...]
From frivolous and gaudy to self-possessed and distinct. Social propriety and etiquette, at least on a public level, mean a lot to this rather ambitious placement for Venus, less so perhaps in the bedroom, but that is a side that Venus Capricorn would prefer to keep private! Venus’s contours are finely chiselled and with a distinct “no frills attached” attitude in this serious sign. Ambition is often part of the picture too. This doesn’t seem to be the best placement for a pre-festive period Venus but it will prep us for the planet’s next stay in Aquarius (from 7th December) [...]
We know everything...or maybe not The New Moon will be at 04°03’ Sagittarius, it will be the second of six new Moon’s at the same degree of their respective signs (antiscion 25°57’ Capricorn). So look for planets and angles between 2-7° of the Mutable signs of Gemini-Virgo-Sagittarius-Pisces. On New Moons we set our intentions for the month ahead and this one in particular offers the Sagittarian perspective on our destiny and our relationship with the universe. The dispositor of the lunation is Jupiter at the last degrees of Sagittarius as it prepares to give an all-or-nothing [...]
Mercury stations direct at 11°38’ in the sign of Scorpio (antiscion 18°22’ Aquarius) after its 20-day retrograde period which started on 31st October. It’s now time to get things moving again after having the opportunity to re-think matters especially in the areas of our lives regarding how we consistently respond to emotional cues and how we might be able to change those habits if we believe them damaging. If you were busy hiding secrets during this retrograde now is the time that they will pop out of the closet...which could be embarrassing. Sabian symbol for 12° Scorpio: [...]
Mars will enter his own sign of Scorpio, Mars is the traditional ruler of Scorpio whilst Pluto is the modern ruler. He will stay in this sign until the 3rd January 2020. Mars was last in Scorpio from 9th December 2017 to 26th January 2018. On the plus side Mars in Scorpio could give us a great amount of psychological power and prowess to help us achieve our goals. He will certainly add ambition, consistence and single-mindedness to the matters of the house which has Scorpio on the cusp in our natal chart. On the downside we may be tempted to exploit, manipulate or blackmail others in [...]
Get some rest. Be patient. Wait (T. Steele)… There will be a Full Moon at 19°51’ Taurus (antiscion 10°09’ Leo) on the 12th of November. Venus, the Full Moon’s dispositor will go OOB on the 15th of November and remain so until the 12th of December. OOB planets express their native characteristics in a more pronounced or atypical way. Venus is also square Neptune which could lead some of us to think that we can get away with murder where love or money is concerned...but, it’s just an illusion. The Moon also makes an easy trine aspect to Saturn (separating) and Pluto (applying),[...]
