NEW MOON/SOLAR ECLIPSE IN LEO A time to shine but not for all….. There will be a New Moon/Total Solar Eclipse at 20°02’ Leo (antiscion 09°58’ Taurus). The eclipse will be visible across Greenland, Iceland, northern Russia, the Atlantic Ocean, Spain, and a small corner of Portugal. Many other places in the Northern Hemisphere will experience a partial solar eclipse that day, including parts of the northern U.S. (from Alaska to North Carolina), most of Canada, much of Europe, and northwestern Africa. For many along the western part of the eclipse path (in mainland Europe and [...]
MERCURY ENTERS LEO All I'm askin', is for a little respect when you get home (just a little bit)”* After a short stay in the homely sign of Cancer, Mercury now enters flamboyant Leo. 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 will make the following aspects: 11-12 August: opposite Pluto R (03°55’ Leo-Aquarius), trine Neptune R (04°05’ Leo-Aries) and sextile Uranus (05°20’ Leo-Gemini) – an [...]
JUPITER IN LEO 29-30 JUNE 2026 So many things can be said about the year we are now in. The outer planets have all moved and there has been the Saturn-Neptune conjunction. Jupiter was last in the sign of Leo from 16 July 2014 to 11 August 2015, its stay there was continuous with no back and fro between previous or subsequent signs. The same pattern will occur this time too with the ingress of Jupiter into Leo on 29-30 June and its departure on 26 July 2027. What was happening in your life during the last transit of Jupiter in Leo? As with all planets Jupiter too has a pattern of [...]
VENUS ENTERS LEO 13 JUNE 2026 Look at me, look at me… 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 [...]
FULL MOON IN LEO 01 FEBRUARY 2026 The show must go on… The Full Moon will occur at 13°04’ Leo (antiscion 16°56’ Taurus). A Full Moon in Leo could give us a transient emotional mood for extravagance or for showing off!! Sun, the Moon’s dispositor, is ruled by Saturn (traditional)and Uranus (modern). Saturn and Uranus R aspect each other by sextile but they make no aspect to the Full Moon. This drama queen Moon sits alone on the other side of the lunation chart like an entertainer doing a solo act but in a debilitated position since it has no dignity in Aquarius and is what[...]
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[...]
