NEW MOON AND ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE IN LIBRA “All charming people have something to conceal, usually their total dependence on the appreciation of others.” Cyril Connolly There will be a New Moon-Annular Solar Eclipse at 10°04’ Libra on the 2nd October (antiscion 19°56’ Pisces). Being in Libra, this will be all about relationships and fairness. And being a New Moon-Annular Solar Eclipse of course it could be the start of a new relationship for some or a new beginning in an existing or ex relationship for others but it could also be about any kind of relationship depending [...]
MERCURY ENTERS LIBRA “That's the beauty of argument, if you argue correctly, you're never wrong.” C. Buckle 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 complacent best here. A master of playing with words but even when critical never seems to be offensive. On the downside, Mercury in Libra finds it difficult to reach a conclusion to any matter on hand. Fearful of what others might say or think, eager to please and seemingly wanting to do the best for both sides yet with the nagging [...]
VENUS ENTERS SCORPIO Seductively passionate…. After a stay in flirtatious Libra, one of its home signs, Venus, the planet of values (what WE value and desire), love and finances, enters the “still waters run deep” sign of Scorpio. In Scorpio, Venus is in her mythical lover’s den (one of them, the other being in Aries). Venus in Scorpio can lend itself to uncanny ways of seduction with psychological abuse and mental cruelty not being unknown. On the other hand, it’s powerfully attractive and very passionate. Venus in Scorpio, as in Aries, is in her detriment where the [...]
FULL MOON AND PARTIAL LUNAR ECLIPSE IN PISCES ….time to tackle the truth There will be a partial lunar eclipse at 25°41’ Pisces (antiscion 04°19’ Aries) on the 17-18 September depending upon where you find yourself in the world. Whilst Solar eclipses manifest as external events in our lives, Lunar eclipses indicate more intimate, emotional changes which could of course still manifest as external events if the brooding that accompanies our innermost vicissitudes causes changes to our behaviour at an individual level. Such events are in fact brought about by our own thoughts [...]
MERCURY RE-ENTERS VIRGO 09 SEPTEMBER 2024 and nit-picky and worrisome come to my mind Mercury returns to its home sign of Virgo after a brief retrograde stay in Leo. 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 finds its exaltation. Mercury also rules Gemini, here it collects any information it can lay its hands on, in Virgo however only information that can be useful is searched for and retained to be later used in a creative and practical [...]
MARS ENTERS CANCER From Air to Water...from rational to emotional Mars enters Cancer on the 4th September and goes OOB from the 9th to the 17th September, when Mars is OOB we can expect the energy to be fiercer which can mean being extra courageous defending our tribe or violently angry with whoever wrongs us or ours. Mars will enter the sign of Leo on the 4th of November BUT on the 6th of December the planet will station retrograde and return to the sign of Cancer on the 6th of January 2025 only to leave the sign between the 17-18 April 2025! During this time Mars will be OOB from [...]
