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 [...]
OOB PLUTO ENDS HIS FIRST RETROGRADE PERIOD IN AQUARIUS ….the soul-searching is over, time to transform! Pluto will station direct for the first time in Aquarius at 01°22 (antiscion 28°38’ Scorpio) after just over 5 months of being retrograde. The planet is still OOB in South declination and will remain so until 23 November. Persons with planets or angles between 00-06° of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) will be most affected by this station. Pluto is concerned with power, regeneration, survival, transformation, sex, obsession and possessiveness. Pluto is [...]
MERCURY ENTERS SCORPIO ON 6 OCTOBER 2025 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. 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 transit…nothing, absolutely nothing, will be taboo (conversation-wise)! Some interesting aspects: 07 October: square OOB Pluto R [...]
FULL MOON IN ARIES A Harvest Moon with little to reap… Full Moons are moments when matters peak concerning the house axis where it falls, for good or for bad, and some of these matters could involve any intentions you might have set on the previous New Moon which took place fifteen days ago. The Full Moon occurs at 14°08’ (antiscion 15°52’ Virgo). The antiscion point is exactly opposite the degree of the Lunar Eclipse which took place on the 7th of September at 15°25° Pisces and thus activates the eclipse. The Moon and Sun stand alone as they face each other since there are [...]
PARTIAL SOLARE ECLIPSE IN VIRGO Are all the details out in the open? There will be a New Moon and a partial Solar Eclipse at 29°05’ Virgo. a Mutable, Earth sign ruled by Mercury (antiscion 00°55’ Aries). This is the second New Moon in Virgo during this Lunar month. The Lunar nodes in the New Moon chart are stationary; many believe that charts in which the nodes are stationing indicate a very important time that maybe a game changer. The lunation chart has only one planet in the Fire Element and five in the Mutable Modality. Being flexible is useful but you need enthusiasm and [...]
VENUS ENTERS VIRGO Miss Modesty Venus in Virgo intellectualises love and intimacy and is also pretty good at maths when it comes to managing finances so keeping a check on over-spending could be a welcome (and necessary for some of us) break after the Leo extravagance. This rationalisation or intellectualisation of what we most treasure takes away something from our intrinsic affectional make-up thus making us appear “cold”, irritable and highly strung. Virgo needs to express love in a practical way so how about cooking something delicious for our loved ones or treating [...]
BLOOD MOON AND TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE ….time to tackle the truth The total Lunar Eclipse will occur at 15°23’ Pisces (antiscion 14°37’ Libra) on September 7 and will be visible from start to finish across Asia and Western Australia. Glimpses of some phases will also be possible from Europe, Africa, eastern Australia and New Zealand. This event will not be observable from the Americas. The Moon will appear as a red ball in the sky as the Earth’s shadow rolls over the lunar surface. The last lunar eclipse at 15° Pisces was on September 7 2006 but of a different Saros series. [...]
