• MERCURY ENTERS SCORPIO ON 13th OCTOBER 2024

    MERCURY ENTERS SCORPIO the great revealer…. A lot of secrets could come out when Mercury transits the enigmatic sign of Scorpio. Mainly because Mercury in Scorpio is a great detective, uncovering things that some or most of us would rather pull the carpet over and even more so on the 30th of October when Mercury opposes Uranus R in Taurus (25°56’) and some surprising information might leak out. Mercury might also go overboard in insults when and if perceiving wrong-doing and ideas and thoughts could get very fixed and obsessive too. On the plus side with this [...]

    MERCURY RE-ENTERS VIRGO 09 SEPTEMBER 2024

    MERCURY RE-ENTERS VIRGO 09 SEPTEMBER 2024 and nit-picky and worrisome come to my mind Mercury returns to its home sign of Virgo after a brief retrograde stay in Leo. Mercury in Virgo is very analytical and rather sceptical and could also become quite fastidious, even nagging, in its love of detail. Mercury rules Virgo and it is also the sign where it finds its exaltation. Mercury also rules Gemini, here it collects any information it can lay its hands on, in Virgo however only information that can be useful is searched for and retained to be later used in a creative and practical [...]

    MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT IN LEO ON 28TH AUGUST 2024

    MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT IN LEO Mercury’s 3-week retrograde period will end on the 28th of August at 21°25’ Leo (antiscion 08°35’ 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 (the Leo part of the retrograde) and be respected for our opinions and ideas and where we can be of service (the Virgo [...]

    MERCURY IN VIRGO 25-26 JULY 2024

    MERCURY IN VIRGO and nit-picky and worrisome come to my mind Mercury slips into its home sign of Virgo for only a brief stay before stationing retrograde at 04°06 Virgo (antiscion 25°54’ Aries) on 4-5 August. On its backward journey it will return to Leo on 14 August to station direct at 21°24’ Leo (antiscion 08°36’ Taurus) on 28 August, re-entering to the sign of Virgo on 9 September. Mercury in Virgo is very analytical and rather sceptical and could also become quite fastidious, even nagging, in its love of detail. Mercury rules Virgo and it is also the sign where it [...]

    VENUS AND MERCURY ENTER CANCER 16-17 JUNE 2024

    VENUS AND MERCURY ENTER CANCER Less than three hours apart, first Venus and then Mercury enter the motherly sign of Cancer. Both planets are also OOB until 28-29 June. Venus in Cancer: the caring partner or the stingy lover? The most motherly of signs welcomes the most loving of planets and it looks like we’re in for just over three weeks of tender, caring love or are we? One of the images of Venus in Cancer is certainly that of the romantic figure forever in love with Prince or Princess Charming. Venus, of course, doesn’t rule only love, it also covers, among many things, [...]

    MERCURY ENTERS GEMINI

    MERCURY ENTERS GEMINI Mentally instable? Mercury enters one of the signs that it rules on the 3rd of June. Mercury is obviously in his element here, a rational and agile thinker open to new ideas and experimentations, puns and intellectual flexibility are also part of the game although Mercury is also the prankster of the zodiac and here words could be used to alter the truth in some way! A little bit of history: Mercury in the Greek myth is associated with Hermes and he held an amazing number of roles here; thief, storyteller (aka liar), trickster, magician, craftsman, [...]

    SLOW AND STEADY WHEN MERCURY RIDES THE BULL….

    MERCURY IN TAURUS 15 MAY 2024 SLOW AND STEADY WHEN MERCURY RIDES THE BULL…. Mercury enters Taurus on the15th May. Mercury in this Fixed, Earth sign can be associated with common sense, down-to-earth thinking and practical intelligence with an eye on security and self-worth issues. When contrasted in the natal chart, he could turn narrow-minded, stubborn, inflexible and suspicious of new ideas and theories. In all cases he takes his time to make decisions but once made they usually become irrevocable. During the planet’s stay in Taurus it will make the following aspects: 17 May:[...]

    MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT 25  APRIL 2024

    MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT Time to move forward again Mercury stations direct at 15°58’ Aries (antiscion 14°02’Virgo) on the 25 April. Interesting to note that Mercury was the term ruler during the recent Solar Eclipse at 19°24’ Aries and thus activated the eclipse degree on the 4th March, 16th March (R) and will do so again on the 5th May. Gemini and Virgo, both ruled by Mercury, may respond differently to the signs their ruling planet moves through on its journey backwards. Virgo, being an Earth sign, doesn’t take too kindly to Fire signs finding them a little too [...]

    MERCURY GLIDES INTO DREAMY PISCES 2 MARCH 2023

    MERCURY GLIDES INTO DREAMY PISCES Fantasy becomes reality and authenticity waivers...mind-boggling in the literal sense! Mercury isn’t at his best in Pisces, he’s actually in his detriment and fall which obviously doesn’t help him feel good, or on the ball either for that matter. Mercury here tunes in his antenna, he’s the receiver of the word and thought but he has some difficulty in articulating his actual speech and sentences often come out confused and of dubious or multiple meaning. In other words; confusion reigns! This is due to the fact that being on the receiving [...]
