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[...]
NEPTUNE IN ARIES 2025-2039 On 30 March 2025 Neptune made its first timid entrance into the sign of Aries after being in Pisces since 2011. Neptune then began its annual 5-month retrograde period on 4 July 2025 at 02°10’ Aries (antiscion 27°50’ Virgo) and remained in Aries until 22 October 2025 when it re-entered Pisces once again and has since lingered at 29° Pisces from late October 2025 to 26 January 2026! Giving the best and the worst of its characteristics in this sign. As Neptune now leaves Pisces for good and enters Aries until 2039 it’s all about endings and new beginnings.[...]
AN UNFORTUNATE PREDICTION From my blog in March 2023 about the ingress of Saturn into the sign of Pisces (https://my-sky-pie.com/saturn-enters-pisces-7-march-2023/). Saturn in Pisces could show up in many situations, here’s just a few: Scepticism regarding esoteric and astrological practices could become rife (the infamous Pendle Witch trial was held in 1612 in England when Saturn was in Pisces), to believe, Saturn needs proof of a tangible nature, however, on the flip side with this placement many could begin (again) to search for that tangibility in subjects that in themselves [...]
MERCURY ENTERS AQUARIUS And joins Venus who’s already there… In Aquarius, a sign co-ruled by Saturn (traditional) and Uranus (modern), Mercury is even more thirsty for knowledge, always in search of new ideas and technologies but ready to reject or even abandon them as soon as the new (Uranus) becomes the normal (Saturn). Mercury in Aquarius will give us new visions, make us aware of new possibilities, allow us to envision an ideal world or society, which might be great as a theory, but much less so as a practicality. Aquarius is a fixed Air sign so here Mercury is at home in[...]
OOB NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN On 18 January there will be an OOB New Moon at 28°43’ Capricorn (antiscion 01°17’ Sagittarius). This is the fourth New Moon of six at 28° of the relative signs. Capricorn is a Cardinal, Earth sign, so persons with planets or angles of the natal chart at 24-29° of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer and Libra will be particularly affected by this lunation as well as its antiscion point of 1°17’ Sagittarius. New Moons are notoriously the best moment to set fresh intentions for the month ahead and with Capricorn involved, this needs to be done in a very serious,[...]
VENUS ENTERS AQUARIUS The first of three personal planets to enter Aquarius over the next week. After a spell in serious, practical Capricorn, Venus enters the cool, collected and independent sign of Aquarius. In this sign Venus wants the liberty to come and go as it pleases but this doesn’t necessarily mean unfaithfulness, just that equal rights and a seemingly no-strings-attached attitude need to be maintained for relationships to function. It’s the Venus placement par excellence for bed-buddies in a mix-and-match of friends becoming lovers and vice versa since Venus here is [...]
