MERCURY STATIONS RETROGRADE IN PISCES Confusion reigns and we have to make some sense of it! On the 5th of March we will have the first Mercury retrograde station of 2019. The planet apparently seems to stop in its tracks at the very end of the sign of Pisces (29°38’) before beginning its seemingly backward motion to reach 16°05’ Pisces where it will station direct on 28th March. Mercury entered Pisces on the 10th of February so by now we should be aware if not accustomed to the dreamy nature of this sign – have you been feeling mentally fuzzy too? Mercury retrogrades have become [...]
VENUS ENTERS AQUARIUS IL 2ND MARCH 2019From serious and ambitious to friendly and gregarious. Venus in the sign of Aquarius values fairness and equal rights but can also be superficial and apparently lacking in real feelings but perhaps a bit of “distance” will do us all some good!
FULL MOON IN VIRGO 19th FEBRUARY 2019 change is coming…should we follow our dream? There will be a Full Moon at 00°42’ of the sign of Virgo on February 19th. Virgo is a mutable Earth sign ruled by Mercury. Foremost, it is worth noting that this Full Moon will be on the antiscion of 29°18’ Aries almost the actual position of Uranus to the minute. Another annotation is that the Full Moon is conjunct the Royal Fixed Star Regulus now to be found at 0°04’ Virgo (it entered the sign of Virgo in 2011), this is usually considered a fortunate star conferring public prominence and [...]
MARS ENTERS TAURUS ON 14TH FEBRUARY 2019 How appropriate that Mars enters the sign of Venus on San Valentine’s day! From daredevil and impossible to sensual and possessive. Mars in Taurus thrives on security, safety, routine and organization, slow to warm up but super passionate once the fire is lit.
MARS MEETS URANUS 13TH FEBRUARY 2019 Mars will conjoin Uranus at the anaretic degree (29°) on the 13th on February. Both planets are pushing to express their Aries qualities to the fullest. It’s a turn-around point with a sense of transition to it. These two planets together have a very explosive nature and even more so being in Aries, the lets-do-it-my-way sign par excellence. So, if you have planets in the very late degrees of the Cardinal signs be prepared for some rash behaviour and surprises.
CHIRON RE-ENTERS ARIES ON 18th FEBRUARY 2019 After 8 years in Pisces (April 2010 to April 2018) Chiron entered Aries for the first time on 17th April 2018, moved back in Pisces on 26th Sept 2018 and will then move permanently into Aries on 18th Feb 2019 until May 2027.
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.
