…slowing down is a must Mercury starts its first retrograde period of the year at 16°53’ Aries and backtracks to 4°48’ Aries where it again stops in its tracks on 14th April to station direct. Mercury starts this retrograde movement on the contra-antiscion point of transiting Neptune (14° Pisces) adding mental confusion, anxiety and misunderstandings to this initial phase but giving great insight for those more spiritually aligned because the veil thins allowing clearer vision and insight. Aries gives us a rather noisy, quick-thinking, discussion-loving version of Mercury, [...]
Are you ready for the ride? Mars, having exceeded the Sun’s outermost limit from the celestial equator, finds itself, as from yesterday 17th March, heading outwards in a southern direction as it enters Capricorn, the sign of its exaltation. Mars will remain OOB until the 8th of April when it will be at 12° Capricorn in the tropical zodiac. During their OOB phase planets express their full potential and act as wild cards, completely unpredictable…be it in a positive or negative manner. Mars is an assertive planet, Capricorn is a restrictive sign ruled by Saturn, it imbues [...]
don’t quit your daydreams…. There will be a New Moon on the 17th of March at 26°53’ Pisces, a mutable, Water sign ruled by Neptune (modern) and Jupiter (traditional), let’s also take into consideration its antiscion point at 3°07 Libra. The Sun and Moon will be closely conjunct Chiron in Pisces suggesting that healing may come through dreams or that a new way of looking at our emotions could help the healing process or even that we will become aware of just how much charisma we have this month. Neptune, modern ruler of Pisces and also in his home sign is, together with [...]
From Water to Fire...from emotion to inspiration. It’s time to wake up as Mercury and Venus both leave dreamy Pisces (where Sun, Neptune and Chiron are still transiting) for daring and wilful Aries, a Cardinal Fire sign. Empathy and dreams morph into intuition and action. Mercury the planet of thought, ideas, pranks and motion moves onto more solid ground as he leaves the sign of his detriment and fall and enters the more wilful sign of Aries on the 6th of March where he could act like an unruly child. Here, the planet will [...]
…underlying beliefs need examining further Jupiter stations retrograde at 23°13’ Scorpio on the 8th of March. We have an opportunity over the next four months to turn inwards and gain deeper insights into spiritual or philosophical issues since our wisdom will flow with more ease from the subconscious to the conscious self. This is also an excellent period during which to seek out underlying beliefs concerning the current matters of the house where Jupiter is transiting in our natal chart because here diamonds are surely to be found, but only by those who are prepared to dig [...]
“If you're not confused, you're not paying attention.” Tom Peters There will be a Full Moon at 11°23’ of the sign of Virgo on March 2nd. Virgo is a mutable Earth sign ruled by Mercury. This Full Moon could thus be a good moment to step-up the ways that aid our emotional well-being especially since it’s opposite a tight Sun-Neptune conjunction which could make us feel clueless about who we really are as our emotions follow suit and enhance sensations of inadequacy or confusion about what we’re really receiving and perceiving and from whom. At this Full Moon, Jupiter, ruler[...]
Fantasy becomes reality and authenticity waivers….. 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. Mercury here tunes in his antenna, he’s the receiver of the word and thought but he has some difficulty in articulating his actual speech and sentences often come out confused and of dubious or multiple meaning. In other words; confusion reigns! This is due to the fact that being on the receiving end means he’s churning out whatever psychic stream he happens to be[...]
…time to try something new There will be a New Moon and a partial Solar Eclipse at 27°08’ of Aquarius, a fixed, Air sign on the 15th of February. This New Moon/Solar Eclipse is sextile Uranus in Aries, the modern ruler of Aquarius and the visionary of the zodiac, and this Cardinal quality adds acceleration to the innovative character of Aquarius. Saturn, in Capricorn, the traditional ruler of Aquarius, is in sextile to a dreamy Venus in Pisces thus adding responsibility and managerial flair to love and finances. The Solar Eclipse is also very near to the Lunar South Node inviting us[...]
Showing love in an unconventional way… On the 31st January we’ll witness an exceptional lunation: A Full Moon A Blue Moon (second Full Moon in the same calendar month) A Super Moon (closer than usual to the Earth and visibly much larger) A total Lunar Eclipse (the first of this year’s series) Naturally, a Moon like this could only occur in the zodiac’s most flamboyant sign at 11°37’ Leo!! Leo is a Fixed, Fire sign. In traditional astrology Leo governs the 5th house, so this Full Moon operates on the 5th-11th house axis (Leo-Aquarius): the things we create for [...]
…and it’s time to take that leap of faith After just over two months in the sign of Scorpio, which it rules together with Pluto, and perhaps a little worse for wear, at least from a psychological point of view, Mars takes on the clothes of the philosopher (and sometimes as the self-righteous prig) as he enters the optimistic, truth-loving sign of Sagittarius where he will stay until the 17th of March when he enters Capricorn and also goes OOB*. Here in Sagittarius he will be able to express his energy in a more open way with less emphasis on the psychological battle field. On a [...]
