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 ENTERS AQUARIUS 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 the mind and intellect but less so on a [...]
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 [...]
Venus enters the cool, collected and independent sign of Aquarius and joins the rendezvous with the other 4 planets already in Aquarius (Saturn, Jupiter, Sun, Mercury). On the day of the New Moon, the 11th February, there will be 6 planets in Aquarius, 2 in Taurus (both fixed signs), 1 in Capricorn and 1 in Pisces. With the Aquarius-Taurus square this is a very shake, rattle and roll energy so expect unruliness, events of force majeure and shocking news coming in from around the world during this period from 1st to 20th February. In this sign Venus wants the liberty to come and go as it [...]
The three S’s…Saturn, static and startling! There will be a Full Moon at 11°45’ Aquarius (antiscion 18°15’ Scorpio) which will form a separating Fixed modality T-square with transiting Uranus in Taurus, modern ruler of the Moon. Fixed energy is static yet by nature both the Moon and Uranus are volatile planets so we might expect some shocks as the energy tries to free itself. The main concern with the strong Uranian energy in this chart may be the research and discovery of new forms of social service or innovative and creative technologies which will help us to develop more [...]
