OOB FULL MOON IN GEMINI ...focus is what we need on this last Full Moon of 2025 in chatty, social Gemini There will be a OOB Full Moon at 13°03’ Gemini (antiscion 16°57’ Cancer). The OOB lunation will not only be on the same degree as the Lunar nodal axis but it will also be exactly square to it too. Being on the degree of the nodes gives particular relevance to the planets involved, (Ivy G.J., Pat Geisler) in this case Moon and Sun and to add to the “fun” the dispositors of the nodes and the Sun-Moon are the same! (North Node and Sun ruled by Jupiter R, South Node and [...]
VENUS ENTERS SAGITTARIUS Fleeting love or loving too many? After little over twenty-days in Scorpio’s murky waters Venus now enters the more free-wheeling sign of Sagittarius. On 21 December Venus goes OOB – just in time for Christmas when flirting and innuendos may reach a completely new level! 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 in dreamy Pisces (23-24 December). Rules often also mean a lot to Venus in here, [...]
MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT the great revealer…. Mercury stations direct at 20°42’ in the sign of Scorpio (antiscion 09°18’ Aquarius) after its 20-day retrograde period which started on 9 November. It’s now time to get things moving again after having the opportunity to re-think matters especially in the areas of our lives regarding how we consistently respond to emotional cues and how we might be able to change those habits if we believe them damaging. If you were busy hiding secrets during this retrograde now is the time that they will pop out of the closet...which could be [...]
SATURN STATIONS DIRECT The last station of Saturn in Pisces - have we learned any lessons? Saturn will end its annual retrograde period on 27-28 November, to station direct at 25°09’ Pisces (antiscion 04°51’ Libra) in an exact to the minute trine aspect to the Jupiter station retrograde in Cancer which took place on 11 November this year. This aspect is still in force and there is a Grand Water trine formed by the Saturn-Neptune R trine Jupiter R trine Mercury R-Venus. Too many (Jupiter R) poisonous (Venus in Scorpio) words (Mercury) R have the ability (Saturn) to confuse and [...]
NEW MOON IN SCORPIO Scorpio is a Fixed, Water sign which deals with emotions and feelings on a deep level, therefore on this New Moon we should feel encouraged to seed any new projects with the right amount of fervour and commitment if we wish to see them manifest during the month to come. It would also be wise not to include emotional blackmail and desire to win at all costs as part of our intentions. The Lunation will occur at 28°11’ Scorpio (antiscion 01°49’ Aquarius on the same degree where Pluto is transiting), this is the second of a series of six New Moons at 28° of their [...]
JUPITER IN CANCER STATIONS RETROGRADE Jupiter entered Cancer on 9 June this year and will now station retrograde at 25°09’ (antiscion 04°51’ Gemini) on11 November, stationing direct on 10-11 March 2026 at 15°05’ Cancer. I mentioned in a previous post that Jupiter would remain exclusively in the sign of Cancer 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 own particular pattern. [...]
OOB MERCURY STATIONS RETROGRADE As if there weren’t too many hiccups already! Mercury starts the retrograde period OOB South but remains so only for a few hours since the planet returns in bounds on 10 November. The planet will station retrograde on 9 November at 06°51’ Sagittarius (antiscion 23°09’ Capricorn) and will re-enter the sign of Scorpio on 19 November returning to Sagittarius on 11 December. Mercury, ruler of Gemini (collects information about whatever, whenever it can) and Virgo (only interested in information that can be used in a practical way) enters the sign of[...]
URANUS BACKTRACKS INTO TAURUS FOR THE LAST TIME IN THIS CENTURY Between 7-8 November (depending where you are located in the world) Uranus will re-enter Taurus for the last time this century, making its next transit of the sign from 2102 to 2110. Uranus will return to Gemini on 25-26 April 2026 after first stationing on 3-4 February 2026 at 27°27’ Taurus. When Uranus makes his final re-entry into Taurus we will have more of what has been seen during the last 7 years of the planet’s stay there. On a mundane level, the already experienced disruption and innovation of monetary [...]
So, Zohran Mamdani won the NY Mayor elections, born in 1991 (18 October 1991 at 01.15am in Kampala Uganda, Rodden rating A), yet another example of the leadership qualities of the generation born under the first Air conjunction in Libra which took place 3 times between December 1980 and March 1981. Here’s a small excerpt from my article published by OPA in the Evolving Astrologer December 2024 issue: “AIRBORNE LEADERS. THE SEEDS OF A GREAT MUTATION Since Jupiter entered the sign of Gemini on May 25, 2024, the planet has been in the orb of a waxing square to Saturn in Pisces and the [...]
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 on 6 November. In Scorpio, Venus is in her mythical lover’s den (the nighttime one the daytime one 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[...]
