OOB VENUS ENTERS CANCER ON 18-19 MAY 2026 The caring partner or the stingy lover…from socialite to housewife The most motherly of signs welcomes the most loving of planets and it looks like we’re in for just over three weeks of tender, caring love or are we? Especially since Venus will remain OOB* from 04 May to until 07 June so we can expect a planet that doesn’t exactly behave according to the norm.
MARS ENTERS TAURUS ON 18 MAY 2026 Mars is leaving his home sign of Aries to enter his detriment in Venus’s daytime sign. From daredevil and impossible to sensual and possessive. Mars in Taurus thrives on security, safety, routine and organization, slow to warm up but super passionate once the fire is lit.
MERCURY ENTERS GEMINI AND GOES OOB* Mentally unhinged? Mercury enters one of the signs that it rules on 17 May and goes OOB at 12° of the sign on the 22 May remaining in this condition until the 14 June when it will be at 17° Cancer.
OOB NEW MOON IN TAURUS 16 MAY 2026 feeling comfortable isn’t always the best thing…. It’s time to set your intentions for the New Moon at 25°58’ Taurus (antiscion 04°02’ Leo). The Moon is exalted in this Venus-ruled, Fixed Earth sign.
PLUTO STATIONS RETROGRADE IN AQUARIUS 6 MAY 2026 After just over a five-month stay in the sign, Pluto stations retrograde at 05°31’ Aquarius (antiscion 24°29’ Scorpio) and will backtrack until 15-16 October when the planet stations direct at 03°04’ Aquarius (antiscion 26°56’ Scorpio). The chart for the moment of the station (06/05 London 15.36 UT) shows a c// aspect between Jupiter and Pluto with Mars separating from a square aspect to Jupiter. This might indicate a grab for power using force (Mars) or some might become obsessed about religious “rightness” (Jupiter) and [...]
SLOW AND STEADY WHEN MERCURY RIDES THE BULL…. Mercury enters Taurus on 2-3 May. Mercury in this Fixed, Earth sign can be associated with common sense, down-to-earth thinking and practical intelligence with an eye on security and self-worth issues. When contrasted in the natal chart, he could turn narrow-minded, stubborn, inflexible and suspicious of new ideas and theories. In all cases he takes his time to make decisions but once made they usually become irrevocable.
FULL MOON IN SCORPIO 01 MAY 2026 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.
URANUS IN GEMINI 25-26 APRIL 2026 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.
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 17 APRIL 2026 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,[...]
