MARS IN SCORPIO The black knight Mars will enter his own sign of Scorpio; Mars is the traditional ruler of Scorpio whilst Pluto is the modern ruler. On the plus side Mars in Scorpio could give us a great amount of psychological power and prowess to help us achieve our goals. He will certainly add ambition, consistence and single-mindedness to the matters of the house which has Scorpio on the cusp in our natal chart. On the downside we may be tempted to exploit, manipulate or blackmail others in order to gain personal power or we may meet these characteristics in their projected [...]
PARTIAL SOLARE ECLIPSE IN VIRGO Are all the details out in the open? There will be a New Moon and a partial Solar Eclipse at 29°05’ Virgo. a Mutable, Earth sign ruled by Mercury (antiscion 00°55’ Aries). This is the second New Moon in Virgo during this Lunar month. The Lunar nodes in the New Moon chart are stationary; many believe that charts in which the nodes are stationing indicate a very important time that maybe a game changer. The lunation chart has only one planet in the Fire Element and five in the Mutable Modality. Being flexible is useful but you need enthusiasm and [...]
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 ENTERS LIBRA 18 SEPTEMBER 2025 “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 [...]
BLOOD MOON AND TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE ….time to tackle the truth The total Lunar Eclipse will occur at 15°23’ Pisces (antiscion 14°37’ Libra) on September 7 and will be visible from start to finish across Asia and Western Australia.

URANUS STATIONS RETROGRADE IN GEMINI …… can we cope with surprises? After a tentative entrance in Gemini on the 7th of July, Uranus starts his yearly, five-month retrograde period at 01°27’ Gemini on 05-06 September (antiscion 28°33’ Cancer) which lasts until 03 February 2026 when the planet stations direct at 27°27’ Taurus.

The planet governs science and technology as well as astrology it [...]
