MERCURY ENTERS THE SIGN OF VIRGO …..and nit-picky and worrisome come to my mind Mercury in Virgo is very analytical and rather sceptical and could also become quite fastidious, even nagging, with its love of detail and work and health being the main topics of conversation and interest. It’s also known for its craftiness (in the good sense of being handy but also in its deceitful guise too) in this sign as opposed to the dexterity and skill of pulling things out from under your nose that it has in Gemini, its other home sign. During its transit of Virgo (which will be rather [...]
VENUS ENTERS LEO 25 August 2025 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 placement of natal [...]
MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT Mercury’s 3-week retrograde period will end on 10-11th August at 04°14 Leo (antiscion 25°46’ Taurus). In Leo, all planets want to be respected according to their nature. Mercury in Leo wants to be respected for his opinions and views and in desiring this, self-confidence often turns into bravado and presumption. During this retrograde we will have had the opportunity to think about in which part of life we want to shine in and be respected for our opinions and ideas (the house where Mercury is transiting, its natal position and the houses it rules in [...]
FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS The Full Moon will occur at 16°59’ Aquarius (antiscion 13°01’ Scorpio) on 9th August. Aquarius is the sign of friendship and group activity, it’s about being independent and inventive whilst being part of a larger group of like-minded people as we work towards a common goal. Being a sign (Aquarius) with two rulers then we might say that the Moon’s passage in this sign could result in two different types of reactions: Moon-Saturn is notoriously a combination where our feelings are more than dampened and when we are given the opportunity to take a harsh[...]
MARS ENTERS LIBRA the diplomat…. Mars isn’t particularly happy in the sign of Libra, the sign of its detriment. It’s one of Venus’s home signs and of course fiery Mars can’t possibly be content with all that “harmony and goodwill to all” crap. Mars in Libra obviously “fights” for fairness and uses his energy to charm and befriend but his lack of willingness to seriously engage leads to indecision and compromise either of which can often start off a spiral of frustration for all involved until the fuse eventually blows. During the sojourn in Libra Mars will make [...]
