Launch date 9 May 2018 in Imabari Japan, no time given so chart has local noon time. Data retrieved from https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ever_Given accessed 27 March 2021 Angles in fixed signs aren’t considered suitable for travel, Sun, chart ruler in fixed Earth sign Taurus is at the top of the chart perhaps indicating that the ship is too high above the water and the opposition to Jupiter R in Scorpio conjunct IC and in 4th shows that the vessel is far too big and heavy. The 9th house of long journeys is ruled by Mars which is exalted in Capricorn and parallel Saturn by [...]
The Full Moon will occur at 8°18’ Libra (antiscion 21°42 Pisces). Full Moons are when matters climax, they are “now or never” moments regarding any projects we have initiated or intentions set at the preceding New Moon fourteen days ago. This lunation takes place on the traditional 7th-1st house axis, Libra-Aries the “you” vs “me”, compromise vs assertion, relationship vs independence etc. Most affected by this Full Moon are those people with planets or angles in the Cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Allow a 2° orb for contacts. Venus, dispositor [...]
20 marzo 2021 Rome 10:37:28 CET For experts in mundane astrology (which I am not!) the Sun’s ingress into each of the four Cardinal signs marks the start of a new 3-month cycle for the location for which the chart is set. The Aries ingress, just like a Solar Return, gives an overall idea of what kind of year to expect. The chart I will be discussing is set for the Aries ingress in the city of Rome, Italy. At a first glance we can see that all the planets are above the horizon indicating that we are willing to take our fate into our own hands and do something about it. The four [...]
let’s take a walk on the wild side……. So, what does it mean for a planet to be OOB? When we cast an astrological chart we use a precise locality (birth place) on the earth and from this observation point we take note of the position of the planets in the sky at the time of birth and this enables us to calculate the angles that the planets form to the given locality. Another point of reference however is the celestial equator (which is the terrestrial equator elongated into space). When planets travel beyond 23°27’ either side of the celestial equator, be it North or South, they are[...]
Venus, the planet of values (what WE value and desire), love and finances, enters the sign of Aries on the 21st of March. In Aries, Venus is in her mythical lover’s den (one of them, the other being in Scorpio). Venus in Aries is full of bravado, actually she always gets what she wants in any sign, but her she’s more open and adventurous in Aries, sexual, but perhaps not sensuous, and certainly not “comfy” here. Aries and Scorpio are in fact the signs where Venus is in her detriment, where she is at least at ease in her surroundings. So, since Venus deals with values of some [...]
Fantasy becomes reality and authenticity waivers….. Mercury isn’t at his best in Pisces, he’s actually in his detriment and fall which obviously doesn’t help him feel good, or on the ball either for that matter. Mercury here tunes in his antenna, he’s the receiver of the word and thought but he has some difficulty in articulating his actual speech and sentences often come out confused and of dubious or multiple meaning. In other words; confusion reigns! This is due to the fact of his being on the receiving end of messages from the Universe and means that he’s churning out[...]
How can we see clearly? There will be a New Moon at 23°03’ Pisces (antiscion 6°57’ Libra) and this will be the last of the series of New Moons at 23° which started in the sign of Libra last year. New Moons are notoriously the best moment to set fresh intentions for the month ahead. This one falls on the 12th-6th house axis (Pisces-Virgo) in traditional astrology, so themes such as chaos vs order, compassion vs criticism and wholeness vs perfection come to mind. Like several of the preceding New Moons the chart for the lunation also has an emphasis on the Eastern side of the [...]
After being rather uncomfortable in Taurus, the sign of his detriment, where sensuality and stubbornness perhaps added to the planet’s allure, Mars is now ready for mental rationality, quick thinking, dexterity and perhaps even some maverick moves. Mars in Gemini is rather unleashed and free to prank around as and if he pleases, Gemini is, after all, a smart-ass sign that nearly always manages to have the last word, well, sometimes, all the words, since the gift of the gab certainly is part of this socialite sign. Mars in Gemini can lend itself to glib remarks and extreme sarcasm when [...]
