MERCURY GLIDES INTO DREAMY PISCES FEBRUARY 10TH 2019 Fantasy becomes reality and authenticity waivers…..mind-boggling in the literal sense! Mercury isn’t at his best in Pisces, he’s actually in his detriment and fall which obviously doesn’t help him feel good, or on the ball either for that matter.
NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS ON 4th FEBRUARY 2019 “It was my letting go that gave me a better hold.” Chris Matakas There will be a New Moon at 15°45’ of Aquarius, a fixed, Air sign on the 4th of February, this is the fifth in a series of seven New Moons in a row at 15° of the relative monthly sign.
VENUS ENTERS CAPRICORN ON 3RD FEBRUARY 2019 And things suddenly get serious as we jostle lust with ambition, the need for control with prestige and respect and the eternal (for Capricorn) battle between private and public.
THE SATURN STORY (yours!) Saturn will hit the half-way mark (15°) of its journey through Capricorn on the 1st of February, repeating over this degree in retrograde motion at the end of July/beginning August and forward motioning over the same degree for the third and last time at the end of October/beginning November.
Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse Early morning (GMT) on the 21st January there will be the first Lunar Eclipse of 2019 at 00°52’ in the fiery sign of Leo, the “look at me and respect me” sign whilst the Sun in Aquarius encourages us to take a less egoistical view of the world. It will be the first of three super Moons in a row since it is at its closest to the Earth during these lunar phases, it will also be the last eclipse along the Leo-Aquarius axis, the next ones will start in 2036. The last lunar eclipse* around this degree was at 01° Leo on January 21st 2000.
JUPITER SQUARES NEPTUNE ON 13TH JANUARY 2019 On the 13th of January Jupiter will form a square aspect to Neptune at 15° (Sagittarius-Pisces). This is the final square before the conjunction of the two planets that will occur at 24° Pisces on the 22nd April 2022. A Jupiter-Neptune conjunction takes place approximately every 13 years. Both planets are in their home signs, doubly so, since Jupiter is also the traditional ruler of Pisces, Neptune being assigned as its co-ruler several years after its discovery in 1846.
NEW MOON AND PARTIAL SOLAR ECLIPSE IN CAPRICORN ON JANUARY 6TH 2019 (GMT) With 5 planets and the Lunar South Node now in Capricorn could this be the test-drive for the great Saturn-Pluto conjunction of 2020? Is this a celestial nudge for each of us to accept responsibility for our own actions or will we continue to play the blame-game until events spin completely out of our hands?
OOB MERCURY ENTERS CAPRICORN ON 5TH JANUARY 2019 ….a suddenly serious mood Mercury barges out of Sagittarius with the usual bluntness and awkwardness that often characterises his sojourn there and bounces into Capricorn. The planet went OOB just before his ingress in Capricorn and will maintain his wild-card characteristic until the 18th January when he inbounds once again. After fun-loving Sagittarius this will certainly hit him with force, dampening his mood and deepening his thoughts and encouraging all of us to think, plan and talk in a much more serious fashion but let’s not [...]
Mars enters Aries on 1st January 2019…no stopping me now! Mars will enter its home sign of Aries just as the New Year kicks in. Giving us all a hands-on, get-out-there-and-do-it start to the year, the planet will leave Aries for Taurus on the 14th February. In the natal theme Mars represents our basic drive, our energy, the way we act thus our assertiveness and our anger.
