VENUS ENTERS LEO 25 August 2025 Venus, the planet of values, love, and finances, enters the sign of Leo. In Leo, Venus feels courted and pampered (after all Leo is the King and she is the Goddess!), she hates to be ignored and seeks attention, which isn’t difficult for her since she adds her own talents to Leo’s natural penchant for passion, generosity and warmth towards others. Venus rules the sign of Taurus (her more practical side involving finances and comforts in general) and Libra (love, harmony and relationships) so you should look not only to the house placement of natal [...]
MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT Mercury’s 3-week retrograde period will end on 10-11th August at 04°14 Leo (antiscion 25°46’ Taurus). In Leo, all planets want to be respected according to their nature. Mercury in Leo wants to be respected for his opinions and views and in desiring this, self-confidence often turns into bravado and presumption. During this retrograde we will have had the opportunity to think about in which part of life we want to shine in and be respected for our opinions and ideas (the house where Mercury is transiting, its natal position and the houses it rules in [...]
NEW MOON IN LEO A time to shine but not for all….. There will be a New Moon at 02°08’ Leo (antiscion 27°52’ Taurus) on the 24th of July. New Moons are times when the Sun and Moon are conjoined in the identical degree of the same sign and this causes the Moon to remain hidden from our view. The Sun and Moon will be in the very first degrees of Leo, it’s as though they become super-charged with Leo qualities which include, on the upside, generosity, warm-heartedness and playfulness but an exaggerated pride and desire to show off can sometimes spoil the day too. The New[...]
MERCURY STATIONS RETROGRADE I believe in me…do you? The approximately 3-week retrograde period will begin on the 17-18th July at 15°34’ Leo (antiscion 14°26’ Taurus) and end on the 10-11th August at 04°14 Leo (antiscion 25°46’ Taurus). We now have four planets in the grossly debilitated state of being retrograde (Pluto, Neptune, Saturn and Mercury). In Leo, all planets want to be respected according to their nature. Mercury in Leo wants to be respected for his opinions and views and in desiring this, self-confidence often turns into bravado and presumption. Mercury[...]
MARS RE-ENTERS LEO From fighting for his tribe to fighting for his pride. Mars entered Leo early November last year, stationing to retrograde on 6 December and subsequently returning to the sign of Cancer on 6 January this year, now the planet will re-enter the sign of Leo. Leo is a fixed sign and consequently Mars here wants to hold on to its position which it naturally assumes to be that of a successful leader, accepted by all. The Leonine energy flows in self-centered channels firmly convinced that it will always put its best foot forward and by using its magnetism and charm will[...]
MARS ENTERS LEO From fighting for his tribe to fighting for his pride. Leo is a fixed sign and consequently Mars here wants to hold on to its position which it naturally assumes to be that of a successful leader, accepted by all. The Leonine energy flows in self-centered channels firmly convinced that it will always put its best foot forward and by using its magnetism and charm will get away with practically anything. Criticism tends to irritate Mars in Leo, however tensions soon blow over but certainly not before a dramatic and noisy tantrum! Mars will be in Leo for only a short[...]

FULL MOON IN LEO The “ME” Moon There will be a Full Moon at 16°40’ Leo (antiscion 13°20’ Taurus) which will be making a square aspect to the Lunar Eclipse at 16° Taurus last November. According to Bernadette Brady this eclipse had “A maniacal flavour and a great show of force in order to take power.” 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 [...]
