NEW MOON IN SCORPIO could be a fuse…. The New Moon will occur at 12°40’ of Scorpio (antiscion 17°20’ Aquarius). This is the first of five consecutive New Moons at 12° of the relative signs over the next five months and thus important for those with this degree prominent in their natal charts. Another lunation chart with a very heavy emphasis on the Fixed modality (6 planets) and with only one planet in the Fire element. The New Moon in Fixed sign Scorpio is exactly opposite, almost to the minute of arc, Uranus retrograde in Taurus. So, since the luminaries are [...]
MARS ENTERS SCORPIO Irresistible…. 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 13 December. Mars was last in Scorpio from November 2018 to January 2020. 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, consistency 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, [...]
FULL MOON IN ARIES full of action? The Full Moon will take place at 27°26’ Aries (antiscion 2°34’ Virgo). This New Moon has its dispositor Mars in a separating conjunction with the Sun and thus still in a condition known as “combust” or powerless, Mars is also in its detriment in Libra. This is the type of Mars that could really go overboard to reach any kind of agreement resorting to charm and friendliness to reach its goals, even if he may not be your friend or act in your interest! The lunation is also the base of a separating Cardinal T-square with Pluto (together [...]
MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT IN LIBRA “That's the beauty of argument, if you argue correctly, you're never wrong.” C. Buckle Only a few hours after Jupiter stations direct, Mercury too makes his station at 10°07’ Libra (antiscion) 19°53’ Pisces. These last twenty days have certainly provided an opportunity to rethink future plans and now is the time to put those plans in action especially regarding relationships or financial matters. In the sign of Libra, Mercury finds its more tactful side, eager to please (or rather eager not to have to discuss/argue) it is at its [...]
JUPITER STATIONS DIRECT Believe…… After a four-month long retrograde period, Jupiter finally stations direct at 22°19’ Aquarius (antiscion 7°41’ Scorpio). Jupiter is the third planet to turn direct this month. Over the last four months we will have had an opportunity to get back in touch with our inner self as a cautious optimism about future events gradually invaded us, more at an interior level rather than an exterior one. Peer pressure may have fallen short of its mark and have been perceived as a nuisance rather than an invitation to do better. This was also not the [...]
SATURN STATIONS DIRECT time to move forward with decision leaving the past behind… Saturn will end its annual retrograde period on the 10-11th of October (depending in which part of the world you are) stationing direct at 6°52’ Aquarius (antiscion 23°08’ Scorpio). This is the second planet to turn direct this month. The chart of the station has a predominance of the Air element (5 planets), the ability to plan ahead with the big picture well in focus. Saturn is pretty much alone, the only aspect now being a rather loose (7°) applying square to retrograde Uranus which will [...]
VENUS ENTERS SAGITTARIUS After an almost 4-week stay in Scorpio’s murky waters Venus now enters the more free-wheeling sign of Sagittarius and on the 9th of October goes OOB giving this easy kindled Venus another dimension! Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter and this rather over-optimistic planet might induce Venus to yearn ecstasy in some form. Rules often also mean a lot to Venus in this sign, inviting others to follow our rules as we preach what we often don’t practice may therefore be another way of expressing itself...this trait may also show itself up in relationships where the [...]
PLUTO ENDS HIS RETROGRADE PERIOD ….the soul-searching is over, time to transform! Only hours after the New Moon in Libra on the 6th of October Pluto will station direct at 24°18’ Capricorn (antiscion 5° 42’ Sagittarius) after just over 5 months of being retrograde. Pluto is also parallel Venus, dispositor of the aforesaid New Moon. Pluto is the first of four planets to turn direct during this month of October. Persons with planets or angles between 20-28° of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) will be most affected by this station. Pluto is concerned with [...]
NEW MOON IN LIBRA The New Moon will take place at 13°24’ Libra (antiscion 16°36’ Pisces) just over seven hours before Pluto stations to turn direct, by sign but not by degree, Pluto is squaring the New Moon, Mars and Mercury in Libra and is parallel to Venus (dispositor of this lunation) adding yet another level of stress to this already explosive lunation…read on…. In this degree of Libra the Moon is peregrine and the Sun is in Fall and they are both exact to the degree in an applying conjunction to Mars. Mars is in detriment in Libra and is in mutual reception by detriment [...]
