VENUS ENTERS LEO Venus, the planet of values, love, and finances, enters the sign of Leo. In Leo, Venus feels courted and pampered (after all Leo is the King and she is the Goddess!), she hates to be ignored and seeks attention, which isn’t difficult for her since she adds her own talents to Leo’s natural penchant for passion, generosity and warmth towards others. Venus rules the sign of Taurus (her more practical side involving finances and comforts in general) and Libra (love, harmony and relationships) so you should look not only to the house placement of natal Venus but also to[...]
“Intuition is seeing with the soul.” Dean Koontz Neptune starts his yearly 5-month long retrograde season at 23°11’ in his home sign of Pisces (antiscion 06°49’ Libra) where he has been transiting since 2011-2012. This transit will activate planets or angles between 25-18° of the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces). Pisces now has both its co-rulers retrograde in the sign (Jupiter and Neptune) so the emphasis really is in digging deep and reflecting about what the matters concerning the house ruled by Pisces in your chart is all about. When Neptune [...]
The Full Moon will occur at 03°27’ in the serious, ambitious sign of Capricorn (antiscion 26°33’ Sagittarius) and has the flavour of the 4th-10th house axis (Cancer-Capricorn), the intimate versus the public, home versus work/career, fluidity versus rigidity etc. An emotionally dry Moon in Capricorn with its dispositor Saturn retrograde in the individualistic and humanitarian sign of Aquarius separating from a square to an unpredictable Uranus in Taurus (both Fixed modality) that craves freedom but only inside its own comfort zone. The recent sextile from Moon to Jupiter retrograde[...]
MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT...Is it actually over? After 20 days of massive hiccups and often total chaos (at least for this Gem) Mercury will station direct at 16°07’ (antiscion 13°53’ Cancer only 1° applying to transiting Venus! Will we be witnessing some lovely acts of kindness or will we be more able to see beauty in normality?) Despite any delays etc that you might have experienced, have you been able to programme and plan ahead without actually signing contracts or buying items so that you can move forward once the planet has returned to its direct motion? This certainly has [...]
JUPITER STATIONS RETROGRADE…look inside, you’ll find the answer there Jupiter stations retrograde at 2°11’ Pisces (antiscion 27°49’ Libra) a sign where it has been since the 13th of May. It will re-enter Aquarius by retrograde motion on the 28th of July. The Jupiter retrograde station occurs only 12 hours before the Summer Solstice when the Sun enters the sign of Cancer. Perhaps it’s worth mentioning that the greatly announced Jupiter-Saturn conjunction took place on the Winter Solstice last year (21 December 2020). Only a couple of days after the Jupiter station, Mercury[...]
Saturn squares Uranus for the second time. “You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.” Malcolm X This will be the second of three upper waning squares between the two planets and it will occur at 13°06’ with Saturn retrograde in Aquarius and Uranus direct in Taurus. The first square occurred on 17th February (7°13’) with both planets direct and the next square will occur on 24th December (11°05’) when only Uranus is retrograde. The Saturn-Uranus cycle repeats itself approximately every 45 years with the most [...]
From fighting for his tribe to fighting for his pride. Leo is a fixed sign and consequently Mars here wants to hold on to its position which it naturally assumes to be that of a successful leader, accepted by all. The Leonine energy flows in self-centred channels firmly convinced that it will always put its best foot forward and by using its magnetism and charm will get away with practically anything. Criticism tends to irritate Mars in Leo, however tensions soon blow over but certainly not before a dramatic and noisy tantrum! All times GMT. On the 1st of July Mars opposes a [...]
mental exhaustion Solar eclipse at 19°47’ Gemini (antiscion 10°13’ Cancer) and will be visible as a solar eclipse in parts of Russia, Greenland, and northern Canada. Weather permitting, those in Northern Asia, Europe, and the United States will see a partial eclipse. This is a very inquisitive, intellectual Moon, hard to pin down emotionally due to its constantly changing feelings caused by its tendency to over-rationalise everything. Under pressure this Moon is not very reliable and commitment issues may surface. However, the need to communicate so typical of Gemini will be [...]
