VENUS ENTERS SAGITTARIUS After approximately twenty-days stay in Scorpio’s 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 R in dreamy Pisces (09 November 27°21’ Sagittarius-Pisces). 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 [...]
FULL MOON IN ARIES a battle never won? There will be a Full Moon at 24°35’ Aries along the Aries/Libra axis (antiscion 05°25’ Virgo along the Virgo/Pisces axis). This Full Moon in the Cardinal signs will form a Grand Cross with Sun, Moon, Mars and Pluto. A Grand Cross involves two oppositions (Moon-Sun and Mars-Pluto and squares between the four planets too). Cardinal signs are always on the move, impatient and assertive, this sometimes leads to taking hasty but poorly prepared action and staying power is often lacking after the initial momentum. The oppositions require [...]
MERCURY ENTERS SCORPIO the great revealer…. A lot of secrets could come out when Mercury transits the enigmatic sign of Scorpio. Mainly because Mercury in Scorpio is a great detective, uncovering things that some or most of us would rather pull the carpet over and even more so on the 30th of October when Mercury opposes Uranus R in Taurus (25°56’) and some surprising information might leak out. Mercury might also go overboard in insults when and if perceiving wrong-doing and ideas and thoughts could get very fixed and obsessive too. On the plus side with this [...]
PLUTO ENDS HIS FINAL RETROGRADE PERIOD IN CAPRICORN ….the soul-searching is over, time to transform! Pluto will station direct for the final time in Capricorn at 29°38’ (antiscion 00°22’ Sagittarius) after just over 5 months of being retrograde and will enter Aquarius for the long haul on 19 November. Persons with planets or angles between 26-30° of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) will be most affected by this station. It’s the final trial for those with planets or angles in the final degrees of the Cardinal signs….what a ride this has been! Want to[...]
JUPITER IN GEMINI STATIONS RETROGRADE 8-9 OCTOBER 2024 Jupiter entered Gemini on 25-26 May this year and will now station retrograde at 21°20’ Gemini (antiscion 08°40’ Cancer) on 08-09 October to station direct on the 04 February 2025 at 11°16’. I mentioned in a previous post that Jupiter would remain exclusively in the sign of Gemini during its entire transit ad that is because a continuous stay in a sign however is not a given for any planet. Nonetheless, as in all things astrological there is a pattern to these continuous stays in the sign transited and each planet has its [...]
