NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS AND ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE …time to try something new even we don’t feel like it There will be a New Moon and an annular Solar Eclipse (showing up as a ring of fire) at 28°50’ Aquarius, a fixed, Air sign (antiscion 01°20’ Scorpio). The eclipse will be visible however only in remote parts of Antarctica. The New Moon is the fifth of six New Moons on 28° of the relative signs. This is the first of four Eclipses this year (2 solar and 2 lunar). Eclipses take place when the Sun, Moon and Earth find themselves closely aligned. The effects of eclipses can be[...]
SATURN RETURNS TO ARIES Saturn made its first tentative entrance into Aries on 24-25 May 2025 remaining in this sign until 01 September when by retrograde motion it returned to Pisces, now the planet will re-enter Aries until April 2028. From Water to Fire. The old man enters the sign of youth, who will teach who? Saturn in Pisces enjoyed only minor dignity in the first 10 and the last 5 degrees of the sign (the former by face, the latter by term). In Aries, Saturn will be in his fall and only slightly improved by dignity in term during the last 5 degrees of the sign. So, for the [...]
VENUS ENTERS PISCES In love with love Venus, the planet of love, romance, harmony and values, glides into the sign of Pisces, the sign of its exaltation, ruled by Jupiter (traditional) and Neptune (modern). So we may be lost in a realm of fantasy, washed over by feelings of love and happiness, dreaming of a lottery win, happy in the company of all and capable of seducing all, not really in tune with reality and with our thoughts tending towards muddled and fuzzy with Venus conjoining a newly retrograde Mercury at 22°15’ Pisces at the end of February. Venus will make these [...]
MERCURY GLIDES INTO DREAMY PISCES Fantasy becomes reality and authenticity waivers….. Mercury isn’t at his best in Pisces, he’s actually in both detriment and fall which obviously doesn’t help him feel good, or on the ball either for that matter. Mercury here tunes in his antenna, he’s the receiver of the word and thought but he has some difficulty in articulating his actual speech and sentences often come out confused and of dubious or multiple meaning. In other words; confusion reigns! This is due to the fact that being on the receiving end means he’s churning out [...]
URANUS STATIONS DIRECT IN TAURUS and the unexpected becomes manifest…. Uranus ends his yearly, five-month retrograde period at 27°28’ Taurus (antiscion 02°32’ Leo). This is the last time that Uranus will station direct in Taurus before permanently entering the sign of Gemini on 25-26 April for approximately seven years – but that’s another story! The chart for the station of Uranus seems rather ominous, Uranus is conjunct Algol exactly on the descendant of the chart raised for London UK and using Placidus houses (04 February, 2.33 UT). Algol is an unfortunate Fixed Star,[...]
FULL MOON IN LEO 01 FEBRUARY 2026 The show must go on… The Full Moon will occur at 13°04’ Leo (antiscion 16°56’ Taurus). A Full Moon in Leo could give us a transient emotional mood for extravagance or for showing off!! Sun, the Moon’s dispositor, is ruled by Saturn (traditional)and Uranus (modern). Saturn and Uranus R aspect each other by sextile but they make no aspect to the Full Moon. This drama queen Moon sits alone on the other side of the lunation chart like an entertainer doing a solo act but in a debilitated position since it has no dignity in Aquarius and is what[...]
NEPTUNE IN ARIES 2025-2039 On 30 March 2025 Neptune made its first timid entrance into the sign of Aries after being in Pisces since 2011. Neptune then began its annual 5-month retrograde period on 4 July 2025 at 02°10’ Aries (antiscion 27°50’ Virgo) and remained in Aries until 22 October 2025 when it re-entered Pisces once again and has since lingered at 29° Pisces from late October 2025 to 26 January 2026! Giving the best and the worst of its characteristics in this sign. As Neptune now leaves Pisces for good and enters Aries until 2039 it’s all about endings and new beginnings.[...]
MARS ENTERS AQUARIUS ...unusual, eccentric, crazy and revolutionary Having left the sign of its exaltation to find itself peregrine, in Aquarius we could find Mars fighting for the masses or fighting to impress since he has a strong sense of individualism and eccentricity as he pursues his goals. To the point that he prefers to see how much he differs from the norm rather than trying to understand how much he has in common with his peers. In this sign Mars can be really independent, sometimes unpredictable and often uncompromising as he tries to force his views and opinions on others [...]
AN UNFORTUNATE PREDICTION From my blog in March 2023 about the ingress of Saturn into the sign of Pisces (https://my-sky-pie.com/saturn-enters-pisces-7-march-2023/). Saturn in Pisces could show up in many situations, here’s just a few: Scepticism regarding esoteric and astrological practices could become rife (the infamous Pendle Witch trial was held in 1612 in England when Saturn was in Pisces), to believe, Saturn needs proof of a tangible nature, however, on the flip side with this placement many could begin (again) to search for that tangibility in subjects that in themselves [...]
MERCURY ENTERS AQUARIUS And joins Venus who’s already there… In Aquarius, a sign co-ruled by Saturn (traditional) and Uranus (modern), Mercury is even more thirsty for knowledge, always in search of new ideas and technologies but ready to reject or even abandon them as soon as the new (Uranus) becomes the normal (Saturn). Mercury in Aquarius will give us new visions, make us aware of new possibilities, allow us to envision an ideal world or society, which might be great as a theory, but much less so as a practicality. Aquarius is a fixed Air sign so here Mercury is at home in[...]
