MERCURY GLIDES INTO DREAMY PISCES Fantasy becomes reality and authenticity waivers...mind-boggling in the literal sense! 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 that being on the receiving [...]
VENUS ENTERS ARIES love at first sight.... Only 50 minutes after the New Moon in Pisces, Venus, the planet of values (what WE value and desire), love and finances, enters the sign of Aries on the 19-20th of February (depending where you find yourself in the world at that moment). 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 she’s more open and adventurous in Aries, sexual, but perhaps not sensuous, and certainly not “comfy” here. Aries [...]
NEW MOON IN PISCES ON 19-20 FEBRUARY 2023 It’s all about seeing things as they really are. The last of a series of four New Moons at 1° of the relative signs, this lunation will be at 01°21’ Pisces (antiscion 28°39’ Libra). 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. A mutable modality Moon is always restless by nature and the Pisces Moon is also [...]
MERCURY ENTERS AQUARIUS In Aquarius, a sign co-ruled by Saturn (traditional) and Uranus (modern), Mercury is even more thirsty for knowledge, always in search of new ideas and technologies but ready to reject or even abandon them as soon as the new (Uranus) becomes the normal (Saturn). Mercury in Aquarius will give us new visions, make us aware of new possibilities, allow us to envision an ideal world or society, which might be great as a theory, but much less so as a practicality. Aquarius is a fixed Air sign so here Mercury is at home in the mind and intellect but less so on a [...]
FULL MOON IN LEO The “ME” Moon There will be a Full Moon at 16°40’ Leo (antiscion 13°20’ Taurus) which will be making a square aspect to the Lunar Eclipse at 16° Taurus last November. According to Bernadette Brady this eclipse had “A maniacal flavour and a great show of force in order to take power.” Leo is a Fixed, Fire sign. In traditional astrology Leo governs the 5th house, so this Full Moon operates on the 5th-11th house axis (Leo-Aquarius): the things we create for our own personal satisfaction (including our children) vs our group efforts, the artist vs the [...]
