There will be a New Moon at 18°04’ of Aries, a Cardinal, Fire sign on the 7th of April. New Moons are great times to set your intentions about new projects to undertake in the month to come so try to take some quiet time to think about what you would like or need to change in the matters of the house where the New Moon takes place in your chart. This New Moon is the second of six super Moons since it is at its perigee (its nearest point to the Earth) and thus enhancing its effect on tides, earth movements and psyches. It is also supercharged by being [...]
Only a few days after the Spring Equinox (when the Sun enters the sign of Aries on 20th March) there will be Lunar Eclipse on the 23rd at 3°17 of the sign of Libra. Libra and Aries are opposite each other on the zodiac wheel. Equinoxes are by themselves important times of change and Aries as a Cardinal Fire sign marks new beginnings. A lunar eclipse is like an extra powerful full Moon which highlights the area of our natal chart where we are ready to relinquish long standing habits or patterns. During this time we become more conscious of our urges and how these play out in our [...]
Saturn is now in Sagittarius where it will remain until 2017. Sagittarius is the sign of optimism and faith, its ruling planet is Jupiter, the planet of width, he who pushes us to go further, be it mentally or physically. This is the sign of the traveller, the one who loves other cultures and faiths, the seeker of the truth. Saturn is the planet of depth, the one who wants to limit, restrict and structure. So, as you can see, they aren’t really easy bed-mates thus we have to find a compromise for them to work well together in our chart. Saturn’s sojourn in this sign might cause a [...]
There will be a New Moon and a Total Solar Eclipse on the 9th of March at 18° 56’ of Pisces, a mutable, Water sign ruled by Neptune (modern) and Jupiter (traditional). New Moons are notoriously the best moment to set fresh intentions for the month ahead. This one falls on the 12th-6th house axis (Pisces-Virgo) in traditional astrology so themes such as chaos vs order, compassion vs criticism and wholeness vs perfection come to mind. Raven Kaldera in his book “Moon Phase Astrology” calls this new Moon the “Dreamer’s Moon”. He goes on to describe this Moon as “a reflection of [...]

There will be a Full Moon at 3°33’ of the sign of Virgo on February 22nd. Virgo is a mutable Earth sign ruled by Mercury. Full Moons are also known to be times when things climax, when we decide that enough is enough for certain aspects of our life because we avert an intensified conflict between two major areas of our life and we need to find a way to honour both. They shine a light on the area that is “hidden” and in this case, in traditional astrology, all matters concerning the 6th house and the sign of Virgo. This is certainly more evident when the Full Moon closely aspects any [...]
Now that the hustle of writing about the latest planetary movements is momentarily over I have decided to jot down some miscellaneous thoughts about astrology that have been swirling around in my mind. I would like to stress that these are my personal thoughts about the subject of astrology, they are by no means what everybody or even anybody else thinks about the subject, and I would appreciate if some of you would like to take part in this “solo” discussion by posting some comments too. Well, first of all, what is astrology for you? Before describing what it is for me, I’d rather [...]
There will be a New Moon at 19°15’ of Aquarius, a fixed, Air sign. This is the last in a series of five New Moons in a row at 19° of the relative monthly sign. The series started on 13th October 2015 with the New Moon at 19° Libra and will end with the New Moon at 19° Aquarius on 8th February 2016. New Moons are excellent moments to do a reality check, asking ourselves where we are at the present moment in time and where we would like to go, particularly regarding the matters of the house where the New Moon falls in your chart and thus set our relative intentions for the month ahead. [...]

There will be a Full Moon at 3°29’ Leo on the 24th of January. 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 our own personal satisfaction (including our children) vs our group efforts, the artist vs the scientist, the autocrat vs the democrat etc. Full Moons are also known to be times when things climax, when we decide that enough is enough for certain aspects of our life because we avert an intensified conflict between two major areas of our life and we need to [...]
