URANUS STATIONS DIRECT ON 22 JANUARY 2022 The road ahead seems quite bumpy…. Uranus ends its yearly, five-month retrograde period at 14°56’ Taurus (antiscion 15°04’ Leo) on the 22nd January. Now all the planets are direct in motion.
OOB NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS ON 21 JANUARY 2023 The New Moon will occur at 01°32’ of Aquarius (antiscion 28°28’ Scorpio), a Fixed, Air sign, this is the third in a series of four New Moons in a row at 01° of the relative monthly sign. The lunation occurs the day before Uranus, the modern ruler of Aquarius, stands motionless before its direct station, adding extra strength to the lunation itself.
MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT IN CAPRICORN 18 JANUARY 2023 Mercury stations direct at 08°08’ Capricorn (antiscion 21°52’ Sagittarius), the second planet this month to do so.
MARS STATIONS DIRECT BUT REMAINS OOB ON 12 JANUARY 2023 mental stress and unexpressed plans Finally, OOB Mars stations direct at 08°07’ Gemini (antiscion 21°53’ Cancer) on the 12th of January and it was about time might I add from a very personal perspective having 4 planets in the mutable signs including Mars itself in Gemini!
OOB FULL MOON IN CANCER 6-7 JANUARY 2023 the mooniest Moon…. The Full Moon will occur at 16°21’ Cancer, a Cardinal, Water sign (antiscion 13°39’ Gemini) and will be the first Full Moon of this new year. The most motherly of Moons opposes the sternest and most fatherly of Suns.
VENUS ENTERS AQUARIUS 2-3 JANUARY 2023 After a spell in serious, practical Capricorn, Venus enters the cool, collected and independent sign of Aquarius. In this sign Venus wants the liberty to come and go as it pleases but this doesn’t necessarily mean unfaithfulness, just that equal rights and a seemingly no-strings-attached attitude need to be maintained for relationships to function.
MERCURY STATIONS RETROGRADE IN CAPRICORN 28 DECEMBER 2022 Mercury stations retrograde at 24°21’ Capricorn (antiscion 5°39’ Sagittarius) and conjoins Venus only 4.5 hours later.
NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN 23 DECEMBER 2022 How long must we cling to the past? The New Moon at 01°32’ Capricorn (antiscion 28°28’ Sagittarius) is the 2nd of a series of 4 on this degree of the relative consecutive signs.
JUPITER MOVES INTO ARIES tolerance becomes difficult From cold and moist to hot and dry, on 20 December Jupiter moves out of Pisces where it has rulership, for a short stay in Aries remaining until 16 May 2023 when it enters Taurus.
VENUS ENTERS CAPRICORN From frivolous and gaudy to self-possessed and distinct. Social propriety and etiquette, at least on a public level, mean a lot to this rather ambitious placement for Venus, less so perhaps in the bedroom, but that is a side that Venus Capricorn would prefer to keep private! Venus’s contours are finely chiselled and with a distinct “no frills attached” attitude in this serious sign. Ambition is often part of the picture too. Although in daytime triplicity and in its own term from 0-5°59’ this nevertheless doesn’t seem to be the best placement for a [...]
