MERCURY ENTERS SCORPIO AND REMAINS UNTIL DECEMBER 6 2026 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. 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 transit…nothing, absolutely nothing, will be taboo (conversation and thought-wise)! Due to its retrograde starting on[...]
MARS ENTERS LEO From fighting for his tribe to defending his pride. Leo is a Fixed sign and consequently Mars here wants to hold on to its position which it naturally assumes to be that of a successful leader, accepted by all. The Leonine energy flows in self-centered channels firmly convinced that it will always put its best foot forward and by using its magnetism and charm will get away with practically anything. He’s also an enthusiastic friend and generous to a fault. Criticism tends to irritate Mars in Leo however tensions soon blow over but certainly not before a dramatic [...]
ARIES FULL MOON tempers could run high…. The Full Moon will occur at 03°37’ Aries (antiscion 26°23’ Virgo). The Moon in Aries is wilfull but also peregrine and could appear completely directionless. Dispositor of this lunation is Mars sharing the anaretic degree with the nodes and quincunx North Node, Mars and Moon are also in mutual reception. It seems like the future (North Node) for and of the people is becoming a problem that must be resolved (quincunx) and this certainly involves fighting for, or protecting, our tribe or our homeland. However, with Moon separating [...]
MERCURY ENTERS LIBRA “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 the nagging [...]
VENUS IN SCORPIO What or who might emerge from the depths??? After the usual 5-weekish stay in flirtatious Libra, one of its home signs, Venus, the planet of values (what WE value and desire), love and finances, entered the “still waters run deep” sign of Scorpio on the 10 September this year. Venus usually spends approximately 37 days in each sign but due to its 42-day retrograde period it will actually remain in Scorpio until 7 January 2027 (retrograding from 08°29’ Scorpio and backtracking into the sign of Libra on 25 October where it will station direct at 22°55’ on 13 [...]
NEW MOON IN VIRGO Are all the details out in the open? A New Moon at 18°26’ Virgo, a Mutable, Earth sign ruled by Mercury (antiscion 11°34’ Aries). Both the Modalities and the Elements are well-balanced in the lunation chart. The New Moon is applying a sextile aspect to Mars in Cancer, perhaps the head (leaders) and the heart (people) have different goals in mind but now there is an opportunity to work together but will this remain only a hope or become another battle? Mercury, dispositor of the lunation, has just entered Libra and is part of a Grand Trine in Air [...]
URANUS STATIONS RETROGRADE IN GEMINI …… can we cope with surprises? Uranus starts his yearly, five-month retrograde period at 05°42 Gemini on 10 September (antiscion 24°18’ Cancer) which ends 08 February 2027 when the planet stations direct at 01°41’ Gemini. When planets station, they usually manifest all their power. Uranus represents revolution and change as well as the need to be free and independent, above all from responsibility. The planet governs science and technology as well as astrology it also lends an “aloof” feeling or impression to any planet it makes or[...]
