• NEW MOON IN LEO 4 AUGUST 2024

    NEW MOON IN LEO ….creativity, love, respect, discipline and dreams There will be a New Moon at 12°34’ Leo (antiscion 17°26’ Taurus) on 4th of August. With all that Leo energy around (Sun-Moon-Venus all in Leo) we might feel the urge to start some new creative process to get passionate about and resort to excessive pride (another Leo characteristic) that could actually block our progress. Only a few hours after the New Moon, Mercury will station retrograde at 04°06’ Virgo (antiscion 25°54’ Aries). This might be a good moment to make sure you’ve got your plans right [...]

    VENUS ENTERS VIRGO ON 4-5 AUGUST 2024

    VENUS ENTERS VIRGO  Miss Modesty Venus in Virgo intellectualises love and intimacy and is also pretty good at maths when it comes to managing finances so keeping a check on over-spending could be a welcome (and necessary for some of us) break after the Leo extravagance. This rationalisation or intellectualisation of what we most treasure takes away something from our intrinsic affectional make-up thus making us appear “cold”, irritable and highly strung. Virgo needs to express love in a practical way so how about cooking something delicious for our loved ones or treating [...]

    MERCURY IN VIRGO 25-26 JULY 2024

    MERCURY IN VIRGO and nit-picky and worrisome come to my mind Mercury slips into its home sign of Virgo for only a brief stay before stationing retrograde at 04°06 Virgo (antiscion 25°54’ Aries) on 4-5 August. On its backward journey it will return to Leo on 14 August to station direct at 21°24’ Leo (antiscion 08°36’ Taurus) on 28 August, re-entering to the sign of Virgo on 9 September. Mercury in Virgo is very analytical and rather sceptical and could also become quite fastidious, even nagging, in its love of detail. Mercury rules Virgo and it is also the sign where it [...]

    OOB FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN 21 JULY 2024

    OOB FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN The second Full Moon of this lunar month (also known as a blue Moon but less rare than given to believe) will occur at 29°09’ in the serious, ambitious sign of Capricorn (antiscion 00°51’ 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. The Moon is OOB and as such prone to acting in an exaggerated fashion. An emotionally dry Moon in Capricorn with its dispositor Saturn retrograde in the all-encompassing sign of Pisces but without any [...]

    MARS IN GEMINI 20 JULY 2024

    MARS IN GEMINI mental overdrive…. Mars will enter Gemini on the 20th of July, this, for many, will bring back (un)pleasant memories of Mars’ previous (too) long stay in Gemini which lasted from August 2022 to March 2023. 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[...]

    MARS CONJUNCT URANUS AND ALGOL 15 JULY 2024

    Mars-Uranus conjunction map MARS CONJOINS WITH URANUS AND ALGOL Although not an exceptionally rare event since Mars-Uranus conjoin approximately every two years or so this conjunction is particular for the fact that the two planets conjoin at 26°19 Taurus (antiscion 03° 41' Leo) on the Fixed Star Algol. Those with natal planets or angles between 23-30° of the Fixed signs Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius will be involved in this conjunction. Mars: passion, anger, energy and wilfulness etc – all a little tarnished by the planet having minor dignity only by face and also being [...]

    VENUS ENTERS LEO 11 JULY 2024

    VENUS ENTERS LEO  Look at me, look at me!  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 [...]

    OOB NEW MOON IN CANCER ON 5-6 JULY 2024

    OOB NEW MOON IN CANCER ON 5-6 JULY 2024 emotionally intense……. The New Moon will occur at 14°23’ Cancer (antiscion 15°37° Gemini). The Moon will also be OOB making it an exceptionally sensitive Moon. The lunation chart has an equal distribution between the Modalities but it has a heavy Water emphasis as far as the Elements are concerned with only one planet in the Fire element. Emotionally charged as is fitting for a Cancer New Moon but not necessarily intuitive. The lunation chart itself is very flowing with the New Moon and Venus all trine Saturn R and each applying a [...]
