FULL MOON IN ARIES A Harvest Moon with little to reap… Full Moons are moments when matters peak concerning the house axis where it falls, for good or for bad, and some of these matters could involve any intentions you might have set on the previous New Moon which took place fifteen days ago. The Full Moon occurs at 14°08’ (antiscion 15°52’ Virgo). The antiscion point is exactly opposite the degree of the Lunar Eclipse which took place on the 7th of September at 15°25° Pisces and thus activates the eclipse. The Moon and Sun stand alone as they face each other since there are [...]
SATURN’S 5-MONTH RETROGRADE PERIOD STARTS 12-13 JULY 2025 Isn’t it time to question the warfare and aggressiveness that’s all around us? Saturn will station retrograde at 01°56’ Aries (antiscion 28°04’ Virgo) on the 12-13th July to station direct at 25°09’ Pisces on 27-28th November. It is still in tight orb of a conjunction to Neptune and will remain so until late next Spring. Saturn is the planet of restriction and order which rewards hard work and perseverance. Aries is known for being action-oriented (a Cardinal sign), courageous, aggressive, opinionated and [...]
NEPTUNE STATIONS RETROGRADE IN ARIES Neptune is said to be the higher octave of Venus and within hours of each other, first Venus leaves the sign of her dignity and enters Gemini where she will be peregrine for the most part of the stay there, Neptune then turns retrograde. So, two planets with a supposedly similar essence make a major game change on the same day. On 30 March Neptune made its first timid entrance into the sign of Aries after being in Pisces since 2011. Neptune will begin its annual 5-month retrograde period on 4 July at 02°10’ Aries (antiscion 27°50’ Virgo) and [...]
SATURN IN ARIES 2025-2028 Saturn will make its first tentative entrance into Aries on 24-25 May 2025 remaining in this sign until 01 September when by retrograde motion it will return to Pisces. From Water to Fire. The old man enters the sign of youth, who will teach who? Saturn in Pisces enjoyed only minor dignity in the first 10 and the last 5 degrees of the sign (the former by face, the latter by term). In Aries, Saturn will be in his fall and only slightly improved by dignity in term during the last 5 degrees of the sign. So, for the most part of his stay, Saturn will be [...]
VENUS RE-ENTERS ARIES Love at first sight… Venus, the planet of values (what WE value and desire), love and finances, re.enters the sign of Aries on 30 April. In Aries, Venus is in her mythical lover’s den (one of them, the other being in Scorpio). Venus in Aries is full of bravado, actually she always gets what she wants in any sign, but her she’s more open and adventurous in Aries, sexual, but perhaps not sensuous, and certainly not “comfy” here. Aries and Scorpio are in fact the signs where Venus is in her detriment, where she is at least at ease in her surroundings.[...]
MERCURY RE-ENTERS ARIES From Water to Fire = steam, right? After backtracking his way through Pisces, Mercury now re-enters Aries for the second time this year and it’s time to get all heated-up and argumentative again. Forget those sweet words and dreamy thoughts now it’s time to defend our views and follow through with our plans in a “no holds barred” manner. Mercury in Aries just loves to talk and discuss, usually being over-concerned with himself and his views and easily getting combative and argumentative so don’t let temper and sarcasm interfere with common sense [...]
MERCURY STATIONS RETROGRADE IN ARIES Mercury stops in his tracks at 09°35’ Aries (antiscion 20°25’ Virgo) before turning retrograde on the 14-15 March. On the same degree as and thus activating the upcoming Solar Eclipse at 09°35’ Aries on the 29th of this month. Aries gives us a rather noisy, quick-thinking, discussion-loving version of Mercury, here intuition must be accounted for as we re-think, re-organise, re-work and re-live those ideas and plans. We might also hear about war plans or tactics being suspended or modified by the powers that be. Gemini and Virgo, both [...]
MERCURY ENTERS ARIES From Water to Fire = steam, right? After dreaming his way through Pisces it’s now time to get all heated-up and argumentative. Forget those sweet words and dreamy thoughts now it’s time to defend our views and follow through with our plans in a “no holds barred” manner. Mercury in Aries just loves to talk and discuss, usually being over-concerned with himself and his views and easily getting combative and argumentative so don’t let temper and sarcasm interfere with common sense and politeness! However, Mercury will not remain in Aries, due to its [...]
VENUS RETROGRADE IN ARIES/PISCES Venus, the planet of values (what WE value and desire), love and finances, entered the sign of Aries on the 4 February this year. Venus usually spends approximately 37 days in each sign but due to its 42-day retrograde period it will actually remain in Aries only until the 27 March (retrograding from 10°50’ Aries – antiscion 19°10’ Virgo) before re-entering the sign of Pisces and stationing direct on the 12-13 of April at 24°37’ Pisces (antiscion 05°23’ Libra). The last time Venus was retrograde in the signs of Aries-Pisces was in [...]
VENUS ENTERS ARIES Love at first sight… Venus, the planet of values (what WE value and desire), love and finances, enters the sign of Aries on the 4th of February. It will not complete its journey through Aries since Venus stations retrograde on 01-02 March at 10°50 Aries (antiscion 19°10 Virgo). In Aries, Venus is in her mythical lover’s den (one of them, the other being in Scorpio). Venus in Aries is full of bravado, actually she always gets what she wants in any sign, but her she’s more open and adventurous in Aries, sexual, but perhaps not sensuous, and certainly not [...]
