NEW MOON IN PISCES It’s all about seeing things as they really are. The sixth and last of a series of six New Moons at 28° of the relative signs (including the recent Solar Eclipse at 28° Aquarius), this lunation will be at 28° 27’ Pisces (antiscion 01°33’ Libra). New Moons are notoriously the best moment to set fresh intentions for the month ahead. This one falls on the 12th-6th house axis (Pisces-Virgo) so themes such as chaos vs order, compassion vs criticism and wholeness vs perfection come to mind. A Mutable modality Moon is always restless by nature, and the [...]
JUPITER STATIONS DIRECT …which underlying beliefs have you examined during the retrograde? Jupiter stations direct at 15°05’ Cancer, the sign where the planet finds its exaltation which also means that it could be too expansive, too maternal, too emotional etc. (antiscion 14°55’ Gemini). We have had an opportunity over the last four months to turn inwards and gain deeper insights into spiritual or philosophical issues since our wisdom will have been able to flow with more ease from the subconscious to the conscious self. This has also been an excellent period during which [...]
VENUS ENTERS ARIES Venus, the planet of values (what WE value and desire), love and finances, enters the sign of Aries on 7 March. In Aries, Venus is in her mythical lover’s daytime den (her night cave is in Scorpio, the other Mars’ ruled sign). Venus in Aries is full of bravado, actually, she always gets what she wants in any sign, but 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. So, [...]
MARS ENTERS PISCES and tired is the new normal... Although in its own triplicity in Pisces, Mars tends nevertheless to lose itself a little in this sign. Energies are scattered and vitality is often low which might lead to a tendency to brooding and introspection. On the other hand, Mars in Pisces is often gifted with an unusual intuitive accuracy but frequently prefers to win by yielding itself to the other as it moves from one mood to another with great ease thus creating confusion in the adversary. Helplessness is often used as a weapon “poor me” in the hope of creating a bad[...]
FULL MOON AND TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE IN VIRGO A Moon full of anxiety The Full Moon (Blood Moon) will occur at 12°54’ Virgo (antiscion 17°06’ Aries). A Virgo Moon tends to be very critical and wants things to be done in a correct manner. The Eclipse will be visible at least in part in Eastern Europe, Asia, Australia, North and South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Oceans, Arctic and Antarctic. Dispositor of this Full Moon is Mercury now retrograde in Pisces where the planet is in detriment and fall and these two factors plus being retrograde and combust by moving into a [...]
SATURN-NEPTUNE CONJUNCTION AT 00°45’ ARIES The upcoming conjunction will take place on 20 February and will be the first conjunction of these two planets in the sign of Aries since 1702. Conjunctions occur between the pair approximately every 36 years and the last time they met up was on 13 November 1989 at 10° Capricorn. During the major part of 2025, Saturn and Neptune have been within orb of conjunction in the sign of Pisces. This conjunction however was in a Water sign, the very last sign of the zodiac where things are brought to conclusion and where not only emotions run high [...]
NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS AND ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE …time to try something new even we don’t feel like it There will be a New Moon and an annular Solar Eclipse (showing up as a ring of fire) at 28°50’ Aquarius, a fixed, Air sign (antiscion 01°20’ Scorpio). The eclipse will be visible however only in remote parts of Antarctica. The New Moon is the fifth of six New Moons on 28° of the relative signs. This is the first of four Eclipses this year (2 solar and 2 lunar). Eclipses take place when the Sun, Moon and Earth find themselves closely aligned. The effects of eclipses can be[...]
MERCURY GLIDES INTO DREAMY PISCES Fantasy becomes reality and authenticity waivers….. Mercury isn’t at his best in Pisces, he’s actually in both 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 end means he’s churning out [...]
URANUS STATIONS DIRECT IN TAURUS and the unexpected becomes manifest…. Uranus ends his yearly, five-month retrograde period at 27°28’ Taurus (antiscion 02°32’ Leo). This is the last time that Uranus will station direct in Taurus before permanently entering the sign of Gemini on 25-26 April for approximately seven years – but that’s another story! The chart for the station of Uranus seems rather ominous, Uranus is conjunct Algol exactly on the descendant of the chart raised for London UK and using Placidus houses (04 February, 2.33 UT). Algol is an unfortunate Fixed Star,[...]
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[...]
