We know everything...or maybe not The New Moon will be at 04°03’ Sagittarius, it will be the second of six new Moon’s at the same degree of their respective signs (antiscion 25°57’ Capricorn). So look for planets and angles between 2-7° of the Mutable signs of Gemini-Virgo-Sagittarius-Pisces. On New Moons we set our intentions for the month ahead and this one in particular offers the Sagittarian perspective on our destiny and our relationship with the universe. The dispositor of the lunation is Jupiter at the last degrees of Sagittarius as it prepares to give an all-or-nothing [...]
Mercury stations direct at 11°38’ in the sign of Scorpio (antiscion 18°22’ Aquarius) after its 20-day retrograde period which started on 31st October. It’s now time to get things moving again after having the opportunity to re-think matters especially in the areas of our lives regarding how we consistently respond to emotional cues and how we might be able to change those habits if we believe them damaging. If you were busy hiding secrets during this retrograde now is the time that they will pop out of the closet...which could be embarrassing. Sabian symbol for 12° Scorpio: [...]
Mars will enter his own sign of Scorpio, Mars is the traditional ruler of Scorpio whilst Pluto is the modern ruler. He will stay in this sign until the 3rd January 2020. Mars was last in Scorpio from 9th December 2017 to 26th January 2018. On the plus side Mars in Scorpio could give us a great amount of psychological power and prowess to help us achieve our goals. He will certainly add ambition, consistence and single-mindedness to the matters of the house which has Scorpio on the cusp in our natal chart. On the downside we may be tempted to exploit, manipulate or blackmail others in [...]
Get some rest. Be patient. Wait (T. Steele)… There will be a Full Moon at 19°51’ Taurus (antiscion 10°09’ Leo) on the 12th of November. Venus, the Full Moon’s dispositor will go OOB on the 15th of November and remain so until the 12th of December. OOB planets express their native characteristics in a more pronounced or atypical way. Venus is also square Neptune which could lead some of us to think that we can get away with murder where love or money is concerned...but, it’s just an illusion. The Moon also makes an easy trine aspect to Saturn (separating) and Pluto (applying),[...]
After approximately twenty-days stay in Scorpio’s murky waters Venus now enters the more free-wheeling sign of Sagittarius. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter and this rather over-optimistic planet might induce Venus to yearn ecstasy in some form, especially during the days when it will be in a square aspect to transiting Neptune in dreamy Pisces (21-23 November). Rules often also mean a lot to Venus in this sign, inviting others to follow our rules as we preach what we often don’t practice may therefore be another way of expressing itself...this trait may also show itself up in [...]
uncomfortable feelings could determine our thoughts…. Here we are again on the brink of another Mercury retrograde period, the third and final one of this year. The planet will station retrograde in the sign of Scorpio at 27°38’ (antiscion 2°22’ Aquarius) and will station direct on 19th November at 11°45’ Scorpio (antiscion 18°15’ Aquarius) Scorpio is a fixed Water sign. A lot of secrets could come out whilst 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[...]
How deep are your feelings, how dark are your thoughts…. There will be a New Moon at 4°25’ Scorpio (antiscion 25°35’ Aquarius), this is the first of a series of six new Moons at the same degree (4°) of their respective signs. Particularly worth noting are any planets or angles at 4° of any sign in your natal chart over the next months. New Moons are the time when we are encouraged to set our intentions for the month to come. The New Moon is in an exact opposition to retrograde Uranus in Taurus, our deepest and darkest feelings may find an unexpected, yet practical and [...]
a battle never won? There will be a Full Moon at 20°13’ along the Aries/Libra axis (antiscium 9°47’ along the Virgo/Pisces axis). This Full Moon in the Cardinal signs of Aries/Libra will form a partile (exact to the degree) T-Square with Pluto in Capricorn adding a very transformative and perhaps fearful twist to the ongoing battle between a “me-me-me” Moon and an “us-us-us” Sun. It’s mainly because this Mars-ruled Moon, opposite the Sun in Libra and both square Pluto in Capricorn could lead to a lot of volatility with explosions and temper tantrums arising out of nothing[...]
Seductively passionate…. After a stay in flirtatious Libra, one of its home signs, Venus, the planet of values (what WE value and desire), love and finances, enters the “still waters run deep” sign of Scorpio on the 8th of October. Venus and Mars (now transiting Libra) will be in mutual reception (each in the other’s sign) until the 1st of November when Venus enters Sagittarius. In Scorpio, Venus is in her mythical lover’s den (one of them, the other being in Aries). Venus in Scorpio can lend itself to uncanny ways of seduction with psychological abuse and mental cruelty not[...]
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 and Venus is of course still in this sign until the 8th of October…keeping a wary eye on what Mars is up to. Mars in Libra obviously “fights” for fairness and uses his energy to charm and befriend but his lack of willingness to seriously engage leads to indecision and compromise either of which can often start off a spiral of frustration for all [...]
