NEW MOON IN SCORPIO Scorpio is a Fixed, Water sign which deals with emotions and feelings on a deep level, therefore on this New Moon we should feel encouraged to seed any new projects with the right amount of fervour and commitment if we wish to see them manifest during the month to come. It would also be wise not to include emotional blackmail and desire to win at all costs as part of our intentions. The Lunation will occur at 28°11’ Scorpio (antiscion 01°49’ Aquarius on the same degree where Pluto is transiting), this is the second of a series of six New Moons at 28° of their [...]
JUPITER IN CANCER STATIONS RETROGRADE Jupiter entered Cancer on 9 June this year and will now station retrograde at 25°09’ (antiscion 04°51’ Gemini) on11 November, stationing direct on 10-11 March 2026 at 15°05’ Cancer. I mentioned in a previous post that Jupiter would remain exclusively in the sign of Cancer during its entire transit ad that is because a continuous stay in a sign however is not a given for any planet. Nonetheless, as in all things astrological there is a pattern to these continuous stays in the sign transited and each planet has its own particular pattern. [...]
OOB MERCURY STATIONS RETROGRADE As if there weren’t too many hiccups already! Mercury starts the retrograde period OOB South but remains so only for a few hours since the planet returns in bounds on 10 November. The planet will station retrograde on 9 November at 06°51’ Sagittarius (antiscion 23°09’ Capricorn) and will re-enter the sign of Scorpio on 19 November returning to Sagittarius on 11 December. Mercury, ruler of Gemini (collects information about whatever, whenever it can) and Virgo (only interested in information that can be used in a practical way) enters the sign of[...]
URANUS BACKTRACKS INTO TAURUS FOR THE LAST TIME IN THIS CENTURY Between 7-8 November (depending where you are located in the world) Uranus will re-enter Taurus for the last time this century, making its next transit of the sign from 2102 to 2110. Uranus will return to Gemini on 25-26 April 2026 after first stationing on 3-4 February 2026 at 27°27’ Taurus. When Uranus makes his final re-entry into Taurus we will have more of what has been seen during the last 7 years of the planet’s stay there. On a mundane level, the already experienced disruption and innovation of monetary [...]
VENUS ENTERS SCORPIO Seductively passionate…. After a stay in flirtatious Libra, one of its home signs, Venus, the planet of values (what WE value and desire), love and finances, enters the “still waters run deep” sign of Scorpio on 6 November. In Scorpio, Venus is in her mythical lover’s den (the nighttime one the daytime one being in Aries). Venus in Scorpio can lend itself to uncanny ways of seduction with psychological abuse and mental cruelty not being unknown. On the other hand, it’s powerfully attractive and very passionate. Venus in Scorpio, as in Aries, is in her[...]
MARS ENTERS SAGITTARIUS …and it’s time to take that leap of faith After a sojourn in the sign of Scorpio, which it rules together with Pluto, and perhaps a little worse for wear, at least from a psychological point of view, Mars takes on the clothes of the philosopher (and sometimes as the self-righteous prig) as he enters the optimistic, truth-loving sign of Sagittarius. In Sagittarius the planet will be able to express his energy in a more open way with less emphasis on the psychological battle field. On a global level we will still see his aptitude for fighting, this time [...]
FULL MOON IN TAURUS Bonfire night in the UK and Moon//Uranus R which is ruled by an OOB Mercury The Full Moon will take place at 13°22’ Taurus (antiscion 16°38’ Leo) on the day the English celebrate the infamous Guy Fawkes night! More commonly known as “bonfire night”. Moon in Taurus is exalted according to traditional astrology and is closely meshed with Uranus in the lunation chart, emotions will be running wild or perhaps too fast for slow, steady and sensuous Taurus and the Sun in Scorpio also needs time to process feelings since, being a fixed Water sign, it’s always [...]
MERCURY ENTERS THE SIGN OF SAGITTARIUS Mercury goes OOB South on 31 October and returns in bounds on 10 November. The planet will also station retrograde on 9 November at 06°51’ Sagittarius (antiscion 23°09’ Capricorn) and will re-enter the sign of Scorpio on 19 November returning to Sagittarius on 11 December. Mercury, ruler of Gemini (collects information about whatever, whenever it can) and Virgo (only interested in information that can be used in a practical way) enters the sign of its detriment. The OOB status will mark a heightening of the Mercurial characteristics, [...]
NEW MOON IN LIBRA forget love and peace…. The first of six New Moons at 28° of their relative signs. This New Moon will take place at 28°21’ Libra (antiscion 01°39’ Pisces). Libra brings to mind the usual Venus topics with a very harmonious nuance. So, we could expect accord, comprehension, justice and fair play in all relationships with an almost exaggerated sense of wanting to please at all costs since rocking the boat would make us lose our balance and poise. but….. tempers could flare (Mars in Scorpio conjunct Mercury which is also c// Uranus R) whilst Moon and[...]
VENUS ENTERS LIBRA Needing to find a balance as we process the changes…. Venus enters one of its home signs and takes on a more rational but less practical stance in Airy Libra with peace and harmony being of utmost importance as it endeavours to keep an even keel (Taurus, its other home sign is a much more sensual placement). Some keywords for Libra might be: impartial, balanced, diplomatic, charming, tasteful, indecisive, flirtatious, peaceable and compromising. In Libra, Venus tends towards compromise and harmony in relationships, but it also has problems deciding who and [...]
