Thoughts, plans and emotions should now be disentangled Mercury stations direct on 12th July at 5°29’ Cancer (antiscion 24°31’ Gemini). Cancer, being a Water sign, is all about feelings and emotions and, being ruled by the Moon, how these fluctuate in time. Mercury is a little out of sync in Cancer, finding some minor dignity only between 10-20° of the sign. Being a Water sign, Cancer is far too emotional for “all-in-my-head” Mercury. Retrograde planets seemingly interfere with the normal ongoing flow of activities represented by that planet in the outer world. This [...]
It’s a repeating theme…. This is the last of this year’s Summer eclipses and will be visible from South/West Europe, much of Africa, much of North America, South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Antarctica* see link in the bibliography. The OOB Moon is in its detriment at 13°37’ Capricorn (antiscion 16°23’ Sagittarius) with its retrograde ruler Saturn just having re-entered the sign. The Sun is at 13°37’ Cancer in the sign of the Moon and is separating from retrograde Mercury, both planets oppose by sign, but not by degree, the stellium of planets in Capricorn [...]
Jupiter and Pluto, both retrograde, meet up again at 24°06’ Capricorn (antiscion 05°54’ Sagittarius and the c/antiscion degree of the recent Venus direct station at 5°20’ Gemini) on 30th June (GMT). This is the second conjunction between these planets, the first having taken place on the 5th of April. The connection with the Venus direct station to this conjunction hints at gender, racial, financial equality struggles as well as turmoil in the stock exchanges being brought to the forefront in any kind of negotiation. We must also factor in that Saturn will re-enter Capricorn on [...]
…no stopping me now, I’m here for the long haul! Mars will enter its home sign of Aries on June 28 and due to its retrograde period (9th September until 15th November), Mars will remain there until...January 2021. That’s a long time and a lot of pure Martian energy for us all to handle. The last time Mars retrograded in Aries was between August and October of 1988 during which time it squared Neptune in Capricorn. Some important historical events of 1988: the first internet computer virus appeared (Neptune = mysterious disease), the Soviet Union began deconstructing towards a mixed[...]
Let the party begin (again)…. Venus stops in its tracks at 05°20’ Gemini (antiscion 24°40’ Cancer, contro-antiscion is the degree of Pluto now transiting retrograde in Capricorn. Therefore, Venus and Pluto are on opposite sides of a sort of mirror or shadow effect which could bring up some very intense and obsessive moments regarding the house axis involved). 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[...]
“Intuition is seeing with the soul.” Dean Koontz Neptune starts his yearly 5-month long retrograde season at 20°57’ in his home sign of Pisces (antiscion 09°03’ Libra) where he has been transiting since 2011-2012, he will station direct once again at 18°09’ Pisces on 28 November this year. This transit will activate planets or angles between 23-16° of the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces). When Neptune turns retrograde, the inner structures that are undergoing dissolution and change are more easily brought to the attention of our mind allowing us to [...]
two steps forward…three backwards The second of three solar eclipses, this annular Solar eclipse occurs at 0° 21’ degrees of the sign of Cancer, the day of the Summer solstice in the Northern hemisphere. The antiscion point of 29°39’ Gemini is almost exactly to the minute on the stationary North Node. Our heads and hearts are getting a boost of confidence with a lucky aura to it, pointing to a decisive new start, unfortunately the rulers of the lunar nodal axis are both retrograde which adds difficulty to any kind progress. The Sun and Moon are also quincunx a retrograde Saturn [...]
Thoughts, plans and emotions are all entangled Mercury stations retrograde on 18th June (GMT) at 14°45’ Cancer (antiscion 15°15’ Gemini, almost exact to the minute of the Lunar Eclipse on 5th June in Sagittarius when Sun was at 15°34’ Gemini and thus activating the Eclipse point). Cancer, being a Water sign, is all about feelings and emotions and, being ruled by the Moon, how these fluctuate in time. Mercury is a little out of sync in Cancer, finding some minor dignity only between 10-20° of the sign. Being a Water sign, Cancer is far too emotional for “all-in-my-head” [...]
engaging, to say the least... The Full Moon at 15°34’ Sagittarius (antiscion 14°26 Capricorn) will also be the first of a series of three eclipses taking place over the next month. Eclipses usually occur in pairs so the fact that there will only be three this time is a rather unusual, but not rare, event. To follow the eclipse path please see link in bibliography. This eclipse belongs to the Saros series 4 North* which, according to Bernadette Brady, brings restriction, inhibition, expectations and illusions and relates to events that seem to block the individual thus creating [...]
OOB until the 10th of June, Mercury enters the nurturing sign of Cancer on the 28th of May. Mercury is a little out of sync in Cancer, finding some minor dignity only between 10-20° of the sign. Being a Water sign, Cancer is far too emotional for “all-in-my-head” Mercury and with the planet being OOB* for the earlier part of its stay there may mean that we have an overflow of rationality when it comes to sentiments and feelings or, our poetic vein and story-telling could reach new heights! Let’s not forget that Mercury in the myth is also the trickster and the prankster. Mercury [...]
