NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS AND ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE …time to try something new even we don’t feel like it There will be a New Moon and an annular Solar Eclipse (showing up as a ring of fire) at 28°50’ Aquarius, a fixed, Air sign (antiscion 01°20’ Scorpio). The eclipse will be visible however only in remote parts of Antarctica. The New Moon is the fifth of six New Moons on 28° of the relative signs. This is the first of four Eclipses this year (2 solar and 2 lunar). Eclipses take place when the Sun, Moon and Earth find themselves closely aligned. The effects of eclipses can be[...]
MERCURY ENTERS AQUARIUS And joins Venus who’s already there… In Aquarius, a sign co-ruled by Saturn (traditional) and Uranus (modern), Mercury is even more thirsty for knowledge, always in search of new ideas and technologies but ready to reject or even abandon them as soon as the new (Uranus) becomes the normal (Saturn). Mercury in Aquarius will give us new visions, make us aware of new possibilities, allow us to envision an ideal world or society, which might be great as a theory, but much less so as a practicality. Aquarius is a fixed Air sign so here Mercury is at home in[...]
VENUS ENTERS AQUARIUS The first of three personal planets to enter Aquarius over the next week. After a spell in serious, practical Capricorn, Venus enters the cool, collected and independent sign of Aquarius. In this sign Venus wants the liberty to come and go as it pleases but this doesn’t necessarily mean unfaithfulness, just that equal rights and a seemingly no-strings-attached attitude need to be maintained for relationships to function. It’s the Venus placement par excellence for bed-buddies in a mix-and-match of friends becoming lovers and vice versa since Venus here is [...]
OOB PLUTO ENDS HIS FIRST RETROGRADE PERIOD IN AQUARIUS ….the soul-searching is over, time to transform! Pluto will station direct for the first time in Aquarius at 01°22 (antiscion 28°38’ Scorpio) after just over 5 months of being retrograde. The planet is still OOB in South declination and will remain so until 23 November. Persons with planets or angles between 00-06° of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) will be most affected by this station. Pluto is concerned with power, regeneration, survival, transformation, sex, obsession and possessiveness. Pluto is [...]
NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS “It was my letting go that gave me a better hold.” Chris Matakas There will be a New Moon at 09°51’ of Aquarius (antiscion 20°09’ Scorpio), a fixed, Air sign on the 29th January, this is the third in a series of five New Moons in a row at 09° of the relative monthly sign. The lunation has Moon peregrine in Aquarius and Sun in detriment in the sign, looks like neither head nor heart know exactly what to do (leaders and people). The two lights are separating from a conjunction to Mercury (also peregrine) perhaps there might have been some arrogant [...]
MERCURY ENTERS AQUARIUS Abstract ideas or unconventional truths? In Aquarius, a sign co-ruled by Saturn (traditional) and Uranus (modern), Mercury is even more thirsty for knowledge, always in search of new ideas and technologies but ready to reject or even abandon them as soon as new (Uranus) becomes normal (Saturn). Mercury in Aquarius will give us new visions, make us aware of new possibilities, allow us to envision an ideal world or society, which might be great as a theory, but much less so as a practicality. Aquarius is a fixed Air sign so here Mercury is at home in the [...]
PLUTO ENTERS AQUARIUS FOR A BRIEF STAY On the 23rd of March, Pluto will enter the sign of Aquarius for a brief three-month stay before retrograding into Capricorn for the last time. Pluto entered Capricorn in November 2008 and will leave the sign for the last time in late November 2024. Pluto was discovered on the 18th of February 1930 by an American laboratory assistant who resided in Arizona. The planet was at 18° Cancer, a degree which has since been linked to Plutonian issues. The name Pluto was selected from thousands of suggestions and came from an eleven-year old English girl[...]

Mercury in Aquarius will give us new visions, make us aware of new possibilities, allow us to envision an ideal world or society, which might be great as a theory, but much less so as a practicality.

OOB NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS “It was my letting go that gave me a better hold.” Chris Matakas The New Moon will occur at 01°32’ of Aquarius (antiscion 28°28’ Scorpio), a Fixed, Air sign, this is the third in a series of four New Moons in a row at 01° of the relative monthly sign. The lunation occurs the day before Uranus, the modern ruler of Aquarius, stands motionless before its direct station, adding extra strength to the lunation itself. By a square aspect this New Moon will activate the Solar Eclipse which took place at 02° Scorpio on the 25 October 2022, a difficult [...]
VENUS ENTERS AQUARIUS After a spell in serious, practical Capricorn, Venus enters the cool, collected and independent sign of Aquarius. In this sign Venus wants the liberty to come and go as it pleases but this doesn’t necessarily mean unfaithfulness, just that equal rights and a seemingly no-strings-attached attitude need to be maintained for relationships to function. It’s the Venus placement par excellence for bed-buddies in a mix-and-match of friends becoming lovers and vice versa since Venus here is rather emotionally distant and has an attitude for open and unconventional [...]
