• FULL MOON AND LUNAR ECLIPSE IN VIRGO 13-14 MARCH 2025

    FULL MOON AND LUNAR ECLIPSE IN VIRGO “We often confuse what we wish for with what is.” Neil Gaiman There will be a total Lunar Eclipse at 23°57’ Virgo (antiscion 06°03’ Aries) on the 13-14 March (depending in which part of the world you live in). A lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align so that the Moon passes into Earth’s shadow. In a total lunar eclipse, the entire Moon falls within the darkest part of Earth’s shadow, called the umbra. When the Moon is within the umbra, it appears red orange. Lunar eclipses are sometimes called “Blood Moons” [...]

    MERCURY ENTERS ARIES 03 MARCH 2025

    MERCURY ENTERS ARIES From Water to Fire = steam, right? After dreaming his way through Pisces it’s now time to get all heated-up and argumentative. 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! However, Mercury will not remain in Aries, due to its [...]

    VENUS RETROGRADE IN ARIES/PISCES FROM 1-2 MARCH TO 12-13 APRIL 2025

    VENUS RETROGRADE IN ARIES/PISCES Venus, the planet of values (what WE value and desire), love and finances, entered the sign of Aries on the 4  February this year.

    NEW MOON IN PISCES ON 27/28 FEBRUARY 2025

    NEW MOON IN PISCES  How can we see clearly? There will be a New Moon at 09°41’ Pisces (antiscion 20°19’ Libra), a Mutable, Water sign ruled by Neptune (modern) and Jupiter (traditional). This is the fourth of five New Moons on the same degree of the relative signs. New Moons are notoriously the best moment to set fresh intentions for the month ahead. This one falls on the 12th-6th house axis (Pisces-Virgo) so themes such as chaos vs order, compassion vs criticism and wholeness vs perfection come to mind. The New Moon is part of five-planet (Sun, Moon, Saturn, Mercury, [...]

    MERCURY GLIDES INTO DREAMY PISCES FEBRUARY 14 2025

    MERCURY GLIDES INTO DREAMY PISCES  Fantasy becomes reality and authenticity waivers….. It’s Valentine’s day too! Mercury isn’t at his best in Pisces, he’s actually in his detriment and fall which obviously doesn’t help him feel good, or on the ball either for that matter. Also, the planet will return to Pisces in late March due to the retrograde period which begins on the 14-15 March at 09°35’ Aries. Mercury in Pisces 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 [...]

    FULL MOON IN LEO 12 FEBRUARY 2025

    FULL MOON IN LEO  ...a little drama or a lot of excitement? Occurring at 24°06’ Leo (antiscion 05°54’ Taurus), this Full Moon affects the Aquarius-Leo axis or the 11th-5th houses in traditional astrology. Leo wants recognition as an individual…”look at me, watch me” whilst Aquarius wants teamwork…”let’s do this together”. We need to tune our individuality to the mood of the group in order to work compatibly together whilst not overlooking our own unique talents. Moon’s dispositor is Sun and Sun’s dispositors are Saturn (traditional) and Uranus (given [...]

    VENUS ENTERS ARIES 03-04 FEBRUARY 2025

    VENUS ENTERS ARIES  Love at first sight… Venus, the planet of values (what WE value and desire), love and finances, enters the sign of Aries on the 4th of February. It will not complete its journey through Aries since Venus stations retrograde on 01-02 March at 10°50 Aries (antiscion 19°10 Virgo). In Aries, Venus is in her mythical lover’s den (one of them, the other being in Scorpio). Venus in Aries is full of bravado, actually she always gets what she wants in any sign, but her she’s more open and adventurous in Aries, sexual, but perhaps not sensuous, and certainly not [...]

    JUPITER IN GEMINI STATIONS DIRECT 03-04 FEBRUARY 2025

    JUPITER IN GEMINI STATIONS DIRECT  After its annual 5-month retrograde period Jupiter will station direct on the 03-04 February 2025 at 11°16’ Gemini (antiscion 18°44’ Cancer). Jupiter in Gemini enjoys Ptolemaic dignity by term between 7-13.59° and by face in the first ten degrees of the sign but it is also in detriment for the whole length of its stay there. So, it’s not a particularly well-functioning planet in this sign but it is also a hot, moist masculine planet and Gemini, being an Air sign, is also hot, moist and masculine so it does have accidental dignity to help it [...]

    URANUS STATIONS DIRECT ON 30-31 JANUARY 2025

    URANUS STATIONS DIRECT  and the unexpected becomes manifest…. Uranus ends his yearly, five-month retrograde period at 23°15’ Taurus (antiscion 06°45’ Leo). Slowly picking up speed, on the 6-7 July this year Uranus will make a brief and tentative entrance into the sign of Gemini, remaining there until 7-8 November when the retrograde period will take the planet back into Taurus until 25-26 April 2026 after which Uranus will permanently enter the sign of Gemini for approximately seven years – but that’s another story! So, what might we expect by taking Uranus at face-value [...]
