FULL MOON IN SCORPIO Finding the answers but keeping them to ourselves. The Full Moon will occur at 11°21° Scorpio, a Fixed, Water sign (antiscion 18°39’ Aquarius). Full Moons are also known to be times when things climax, when we decide that enough is enough for certain aspects of our life because we avert an intensified conflict between two major areas of our life and we need to find a way to honour both. They shine a light on the area that is “hidden” and in this case, in traditional astrology, all matters concerning the 8th house and the sign of Scorpio. The axis [...]
URANUS IN GEMINI FOR THE LONG STAY Don’t just think it…say it, the era of free speech is upon us! Uranus has an 84-year orbit and spends roughly 7 years in each sign. It was discovered in 1781 by an amateur astronomer named William Herschel and, in more modern times, it was given joint rulership of the sign of Aquarius together with traditional ruler Saturn. Astrologer Bil Tierney* has the following to say: “Uranus with its equatorial plane at right angles to its orbital plane is an odd ball in our solar system and appears to roll on its side as it moves around the Sun.”[...]
VENUS ENTERS GEMINI ON 23-24 APRIL 2026 From Earth to Air, from sensual to frivolous…it’s party time! Venus in Gemini is known for being flirty as well as for its refined social skills although it dislikes commitment both sentimentally and financially. Venus in Gemini enjoys a lot of mental fertility and it reflects a lot on matters of the heart (usually deciding that single is better than partnered) since it is far too rational to be interested in steady love unions. It could also be a spendthrift as far as intellectual pursuits are concerned (books especially) since it values [...]
NEW MOON IN ARIES Could be very insidious... The New Moon (the first of the astrological year) will occur at 27°29’ Aries (antiscion 02°31’ Virgo). This is a me, me, me, action-oriented New Moon making part of a 6-planet stellium in Aries. Let’s remember some of the keywords for Aries: courageous, foolhardy, direct, aggressive, opinionated, enthusiastic, passionate and pioneering are a few that come to mind. Aries is also a Cardinal, Fire sign, Cardinal signs are action-oriented, Fire signs are known for their enthusiasm, their faith in life and often, undyingly, in [...]
MERCURY ENTERS ARIES Forget those sweet words and dreamy thoughts now it’s time to defend our views and follow through with our plans in a “no holds barred” manner. Mercury in Aries just loves to talk and discuss, usually being over-concerned with himself and his views and easily getting combative and argumentative so don’t let temper and sarcasm interfere with common sense and politeness! Mercury will make the following aspects during its stay in Aries: 16-17 April: conjunct Neptune (02°47’ Aries) – lies and deception as we defend our ideas. 18 April: sextile [...]
MARS ENTERS ARIES …no stopping me now! Mars will enter its home sign of Aries. In the natal theme Mars represents our basic drive, our energy, the way we act thus our assertiveness and our anger. We experience our first Mars return at age 2 years and this is when we learn to assert ourselves by saying “NO” to everything and everyone. It is at this age that we learn how to control our Mars function or not if no-one is there to direct our assertiveness into the right channels. If for some reason we are unable to learn how to positively express our Mars energy, especially [...]
