VENUS ENTERS VIRGO Miss Modesty After a super long stay in Leo Venus now enters the more modest sign of Virgo. Venus is in her daytime triplicity in the Earthy sign of Virgo but also in her fall yet she also enjoys minor dignity between 0-10° and 20-26° of this sign so all-in-all she can hold her own here. Venus and Mercury are now in Mutual Reception being each in the sign of the other. Venus in Virgo intellectualises love and intimacy and is also pretty good at maths when it comes to managing finances so keeping a check on over-spending could be a welcome (and necessary for [...]
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 [...]
FULL MOON IN ARIES 29 SEPTEMBER 2023 The Full Moon will take place at 06°00’ Aries (antiscion 24°00’ Virgo). This is usually known as a “me-first” Full Moon. However, Moon’s dispositor Mars is in detriment in Libra, conjunct Lunar South Node and in an 8th house flavour quincunx to Uranus R.
MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT ON 15 SEPTEMBER 2023 Mercury stations direct at 08°00’ Virgo (antiscion 22° Aries) only a few hours after the New Moon in Virgo and opposite the Saturn SR station at 07°12’ Pisces last June.
NEW MOON IN VIRGO 14-15 SEPTEMBER 2023 the devil is in the details but so is salvation There will be a New Moon at 21°59’ Virgo (antiscion 08°01’ Aries) on the 14-15th of this month depending upon where you find yourself in the world.
VENUS STATIONS DIRECT ON 3-4 SEPTEMBER 2023 The direct station takes place at 12°12’ Leo (antiscion 17°48’ Taurus) only 12 hours before Jupiter stations retrograde.
JUPITER STATIONS RETROGRADE ON 4 SEPTEMBER 2023 …look inside, you’ll find the answer there Jupiter stations retrograde at 15°35’ Taurus (antiscion 14°25’ Leo). The antiscion point is very near the Venus station direct degree (12°12’) which occurs 12 hours before.
FULL MOON IN PISCES 30-31 AUGUST 2023 I feel you…… There will be a full Moon at 07°25’ Pisces (antiscion 22°35’ Libra). This is the second Full Moon in August an uncommon but not rare event.
MARS ENTERS LIBRA ON 27 AUGUST 2023 the diplomat…. Mars isn’t particularly happy in the sign of Libra, the sign of its detriment. It’s one of Venus’s home signs and of course fiery Mars can’t possibly be content with all that “harmony and goodwill to all” crap.
URANUS STATIONS RETROGRADE …… can we cope with surprises? Uranus starts his yearly, five-month retrograde period at 23°04’ Taurus on 28-29 August (antiscion 06°56’ Leo) which lasts until 24 January when it stations direct at 19°05’ Taurus.
