• FULL MOON IN ARIES 1 OCTOBER 2020

    FULL MOON IN ARIES 1 OCTOBER 2020 A Harvest Moon with little to reap… Full Moons are moments when matters peak concerning the house axis where it falls, for good or for bad, and some of these matters could involve any intentions you might have set on the previous New Moon which took place fifteen days ago. The first of two Full Moons in October this one occurs at 09°08’ (antiscion 20°52’ Virgo). The Moon and Sun stand alone as they face each other since there are no traditional aspects to other planets during the lunation. Sun, however, is quincunx to retrograde Uranus in [...]

    SATURN STATIONS DIRECT ON 28 SEPTEMBER 2020

    SATURN STATIONS DIRECT ON 28 SEPTEMBER 2020 time to move forward with decision leaving the past behind… Saturn will end its annual retrograde period on the 28-29th of September stationing direct at 25°20’ Capricorn (antiscion 04°40’ Sagittarius). The chart of the station has yet again a heavy Earth/Cardinal signature; moving forward in a practical way. There is a tight square to Saturn from a retrograde Mars hinting at a blockage or at its best slow progress. Venus is simultaneously trine Mars and quincunx Saturn, enjoyment and pleasure are at hand but dare we? This is the [...]

    MERCURY ENTERS SCORPIO ON 27th SEPTEMBER 2020

    MERCURY ENTERS SCORPIO ON 27th SEPTEMBER 2020 the great revealer…. A lot of secrets could come out when Mercury transits the enigmatic sign of Scorpio. Mainly because Mercury in Scorpio is a great detective, uncovering things that some or most of us would rather pull the carpet over and even more so on the 7th of October when Mercury opposes Uranus in Taurus (9°37’) and some surprising information might leak out. Mercury might also go overboard in insults when and if perceiving wrong-doing and ideas and thoughts could get very fixed and obsessive too. On the plus side with [...]

    NEW MOON IN VIRGO ON 17 SEPTEMBER 2020

    NEW MOON IN VIRGO ON 17 SEPTEMBER 2020 Those details may not be pleasant to hear The New Moon will occur at 25°01’ Virgo (antiscion 4°59’ Aries). The New Moon will be making an exact trine aspect to a resolute, and almost stationary, although yet still retrograde Saturn, adding responsibility to this detail-oriented lunation. This could make us more aware of our health as infection rates of Covid-19 once more rise around Europe and in many other countries. The applying quincunx (tension) of the Sun-Moon combination to a retrograde Mars adds the niggling feeling that perhaps our [...]

    JUPITER STATIONS DIRECT ON 12 SEPTEMBER 2020

    “Courage is knowing what not to fear.” Plato After a four-month long retrograde period, Jupiter finally stations direct at 17°24’ Capricorn (antiscion 12°36’ Sagittarius). There are still 5 planets in apparent retrograde motion however (Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto). Over the last four months we will have had an opportunity to get back in touch with our inner self as a cautious optimism about future events gradually invaded us, more at an interior level rather than an exterior one. Peer pressure may have fallen short of its mark and have been perceived as a [...]

    MARS STATIONS RETROGRADE ON 9TH SEPTEMBER 2020

    MARS STATIONS RETROGRADE ON 9TH SEPTEMBER 2020 Let’s all take a chill pill… In its own sign of Aries and particularly strong, Mars stations retrograde at 28°08’ Aries (antiscion 1°52’ Virgo). There will then be 6 planets retrograde until the 12th when Jupiter stations direct. Mars turns retrograde for approximately 80 days every two years or so and the last time the planet was retrograde in Aries was between August and October 1988 and previous to that from September to November 1973. For those who were already born on those dates what was happening in your life then? [...]

    VENUS ENTERS LEO 6 SEPTEMBER 2020

    VENUS ENTERS LEO 6 SEPTEMBER 2020   Venus, the planet of values, love, and material worth, enters the sign of Leo. In Leo, Venus feels courted and pampered (after all Leo is the King and she is the Goddess!), she hates to be ignored and seeks attention, which isn’t difficult for her since she adds her own talents to Leo’s natural penchant for passion, generosity and warmth towards others. Venus rules the sign of Taurus (her more practical side involving finances and comforts in general) and Libra (love, harmony and relationships) so you should look not only to the house [...]

    MERCURY ENTERS LIBRA 5 SEPTEMBER 2020

    MERCURY ENTERS LIBRA 5 SEPTEMBER 2020 “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 [...]

    FULL MOON IN PISCES 1 (2 GMT) SEPTEMBER 2020

    FULL MOON IN PISCES 1 (2 GMT) SEPTEMBER 2020 “Hello from the other side” (Adele)…the call to duty makes dreaming difficult  There will be a Full Moon at 10°12’ Pisces (antiscion 19°48’ Libra) on the 1st or the 2nd September depending in which part of the world you live. In the Western world we tend to indulge ourselves in feeling-based activities on full Moon days but in Tibetan Buddhist monastic tradition this is a day devoted to the purification of “negative” karma during which people are encouraged to indulge less, thus creating space to contemplate the true nature[...]

    MERCURY ENTERS THE SIGN OF VIRGO 20 AUGUST 2020 (GMT)

    ERCURY ENTERS THE SIGN OF VIRGO 20 AUGUST 2020 (GMT) …..and nit-picky and worrisome come to my mind Mercury in Virgo is very analytical and rather sceptical and could also become quite fastidious, even nagging, in its love of detail. Fortunately the stay is brief, just over two weeks. It’s certainly going to be an interesting ride, particularly for the Mutable signs of Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces and Gemini. During its stay in Virgo Mercury will make the following aspects: 25th August: trine retrograde Uranus (10°38’): don’t be too surprised if some astonishing ideas [...]
