Let the party begin (again)…. Venus stops in its tracks at 05°20’ Gemini (antiscion 24°40’ Cancer, contro-antiscion is the degree of Pluto now transiting retrograde in Capricorn. Therefore, Venus and Pluto are on opposite sides of a sort of mirror or shadow effect which could bring up some very intense and obsessive moments regarding the house axis involved). 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[...]
“Intuition is seeing with the soul.” Dean Koontz Neptune starts his yearly 5-month long retrograde season at 20°57’ in his home sign of Pisces (antiscion 09°03’ Libra) where he has been transiting since 2011-2012, he will station direct once again at 18°09’ Pisces on 28 November this year. This transit will activate planets or angles between 23-16° of the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces). When Neptune turns retrograde, the inner structures that are undergoing dissolution and change are more easily brought to the attention of our mind allowing us to [...]
two steps forward…three backwards The second of three solar eclipses, this annular Solar eclipse occurs at 0° 21’ degrees of the sign of Cancer, the day of the Summer solstice in the Northern hemisphere. The antiscion point of 29°39’ Gemini is almost exactly to the minute on the stationary North Node. Our heads and hearts are getting a boost of confidence with a lucky aura to it, pointing to a decisive new start, unfortunately the rulers of the lunar nodal axis are both retrograde which adds difficulty to any kind progress. The Sun and Moon are also quincunx a retrograde Saturn [...]
Thoughts, plans and emotions are all entangled Mercury stations retrograde on 18th June (GMT) at 14°45’ Cancer (antiscion 15°15’ Gemini, almost exact to the minute of the Lunar Eclipse on 5th June in Sagittarius when Sun was at 15°34’ Gemini and thus activating the Eclipse point). Cancer, being a Water sign, is all about feelings and emotions and, being ruled by the Moon, how these fluctuate in time. Mercury is a little out of sync in Cancer, finding some minor dignity only between 10-20° of the sign. Being a Water sign, Cancer is far too emotional for “all-in-my-head” [...]
engaging, to say the least... The Full Moon at 15°34’ Sagittarius (antiscion 14°26 Capricorn) will also be the first of a series of three eclipses taking place over the next month. Eclipses usually occur in pairs so the fact that there will only be three this time is a rather unusual, but not rare, event. To follow the eclipse path please see link in bibliography. This eclipse belongs to the Saros series 4 North* which, according to Bernadette Brady, brings restriction, inhibition, expectations and illusions and relates to events that seem to block the individual thus creating [...]
OOB until the 10th of June, Mercury enters the nurturing sign of Cancer on the 28th of May. Mercury is a little out of sync in Cancer, finding some minor dignity only between 10-20° of the sign. Being a Water sign, Cancer is far too emotional for “all-in-my-head” Mercury and with the planet being OOB* for the earlier part of its stay there may mean that we have an overflow of rationality when it comes to sentiments and feelings or, our poetic vein and story-telling could reach new heights! Let’s not forget that Mercury in the myth is also the trickster and the prankster. [...]
keeping calm may be a problem.... The New Moon will occur at 02°04’ Gemini (antiscion 27°56’ Cancer). This is a very inquisitive, intellectual Moon, hard to pin down emotionally due to its constantly changing feelings caused by its tendency to over-rationalise everything. Under pressure this Moon is not very reliable and commitment issues may surface. New Moons are times when we are invited to set our intentions for the month to come regarding that area of our life which the Moon is illuminating in this lunar phase. People most affected by this New Moon will be those with [...]
…look inside, you’ll find the answer there Jupiter stations retrograde at 27°14’ Capricorn (antiscion 2°46 Sagittarius). It is the 4th planet to turn retrograde over the last 30 days (Pluto, Saturn and Venus are already retrograde) and Mercury and Neptune will follow suit in June making for a total of 6 planets retrograde. During Jupiter’s transit of Capricorn we may have already experienced a sense of repressed or curtailed freedom where fear of the truth or of knowing too much could be or have been very present in our lives, this effect may be felt on a personal level as the [...]
and tired is the new normal... Although in its own triplicity in Pisces, Mars tends nevertheless to lose itself a little in this sign. Energies are scattered and vitality is often low which might lead to a tendency to brooding and introspection. On the other hand, Mars in Pisces is often gifted with an unusual intuitive accuracy but frequently prefers to win by yielding itself to the other as it moves from one mood to another with great ease thus creating confusion in the adversary. Helplessness is often used as a weapon “poor me” in the hope of creating a bad conscious in the [...]
Time to analyse our relationship patterns Venus stops in its tracks at 21°49’ Gemini (antiscion 8°11’ Cancer) and remains OOB until 2nd June. It will station direct on 24th June at 5°21’ Gemini (antiscion 24°39’ Cancer). Venus in Gemini is known for being flirty and also 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 [...]
