NEPTUNE STATIONS DIRECT IN PISCES The fog will lift…but the lies may continue Neptune turns direct on the 3-4 December at 22°38’ Pisces (antiscion 7°22’ Libra). This means that uncertainties or lack of clarity that you have been internalizing and that may have surfaced from the past, finally starts to lift as the fog clears (look to the house 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 [...]
NEW MOON IN SAGITTARIUS The New Moon will occur at 01°37’ Sagittarius (antiscion 28°23’ Capricorn) and will be the first of four new moons on the 1° degree of the relative signs over the next four months. One might suppose that with Jupiter being the dispositor of this New Moon things might be on an upward curve after the past two very intense lunations connected to the eclipses along the Scorpio/Taurus axis. A moment of respite and hope after despair. Think again. Only five minutes after the exactness of the New Moon, dispositor Jupiter in its own sign of Pisces stations [...]
JUPITER STATIONS DIRECT Believe... After a 4-month retrograde period which started in Aries, Jupiter stations direct at 28°47' Pisces (antiscion 1°13' Libra) only minutes before the New Moon in Sagittarius (ruled by Jupiter). Now only Mars, Neptune and Uranus remain retrograde. Jupiter is the traditional night-time ruler of Pisces, only more recently was Neptune assigned as modern co-ruler. Jupiter is a hot moist, masculine planet whilst Pisces is a cold moist, nocturnal and feminine sign. Jupiter stations direct conjunct Fixed Star Scheat which Robson explains as “losses [...]
MERCURY ENTERS THE SIGN OF SAGITTARIUS Mercury, ruler of Gemini (collects information about whatever, whenever it can) and Virgo (only interested in information that can be used in a practical way) enters the sign of its detriment and will go OOB on the 23 November until the 22 December. The OOB status will mark a heightening of the Mercurial characteristics, thinking big will be the norm. Mercury in the sign of the archer has the tendency to overlook and discard generalised information (Gemini) and practical details (Virgo) placing attention on the bigger picture and thus becoming [...]
VENUS ENTERS SAGITTARIUS After approximately twenty-days stay in Scorpio’s deep and murky waters Venus now enters the more free-wheeling sign of Sagittarius. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter and this rather over-optimistic planet might induce Venus to yearn ecstasy in some form, especially during the days when it will be in a square aspect to transiting Neptune in dreamy Pisces (December 3-4). 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 [...]
FULL MOON AND TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE IN TAURUS “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” N.D. Walsch The lunation and eclipse will occur at 16°00’ Taurus (antiscion 14°00’ Leo) on the day of the midterm elections in the US. The Full Moon and total Lunar eclipse will be visible partially or totally in the following areas of the world: North/East Europe, Asia, Australia, North America, much of South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Arctic, Antarctica (1). The Moon is sandwiched between a retrograde Uranus and the North Lunar node whilst opposing a Sun also part [...]
