OOB FULL MOON IN CANCER the mooniest Moon….are we too emotional? The OOB Full Moon will occur at 13°01’ Cancer, a Cardinal, Water sign (antiscion 16°59’ Gemini) and will be the first Full Moon of 2026. The most motherly of Moons opposes the sternest and most fatherly of Suns which has OOB Venus on one side and OOB Mars on the other, both combust. OOB Moon is in a wide conjunction with Jupiter R. Capricorn restricts and downsizes, and this could bring out the worst of Cancer characteristics making us retreat into our shells as we cling to the familiar. Let’s remember that [...]
OOB MERCURY MOVES INTO CAPRICORN ….a suddenly serious mood as the year begins Today, OOB Mercury barges out of Sagittarius with the usual bluntness and awkwardness that often characterises his sojourn there and bounces into Capricorn. After fun-loving Sagittarius this will certainly hit him with force, dampening his mood and deepening his thoughts and encouraging all of us to think, plan and talk in a much more serious fashion. Mercury’s first encounter is an opposition aspect with a retrograde Jupiter in Cancer (19°34’) on 14 January whilst the planet is about to return in [...]
OOB NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS “It was my letting go that gave me a better hold.” Chris Matakas The New Moon will occur at 01°32’ of Aquarius (antiscion 28°28’ Scorpio), a Fixed, Air sign, this is the third in a series of four New Moons in a row at 01° of the relative monthly sign. The lunation occurs the day before Uranus, the modern ruler of Aquarius, stands motionless before its direct station, adding extra strength to the lunation itself. By a square aspect this New Moon will activate the Solar Eclipse which took place at 02° Scorpio on the 25 October 2022, a difficult [...]
MARS STATIONS DIRECT BUT REMAINS OOB mental stress and unexpressed plans Finally, OOB Mars stations direct at 08°07’ Gemini (antiscion 21°53’ Cancer) on the 12th of January and it was about time might I add from a very personal perspective having 4 planets in the mutable signs including Mars itself in Gemini! The planet will now be able to express its energy in a more straightforward manner although it will remain OOB and still rather a wild card (also peregrine) until the 4/5th of May. When Mars is retrograde its energies turn inwards and it may seem that our plans backfire [...]
OOB FULL MOON IN CANCER the mooniest Moon…. The Full Moon will occur at 16°21’ Cancer, a Cardinal, Water sign (antiscion 13°39’ Gemini) and will be the first Full Moon of this new year. The most motherly of Moons opposes the sternest and most fatherly of Suns. Capricorn restricts and downsizes, and this could bring out the worst of Cancer characteristics making us retreat into our shells as we cling to the familiar. Let’s remember that we need our Earth qualities in order to remain grounded, but we also need give space to our fantasies if we want them to fly. As always, [...]
MERCURY ENTERS THE SIGN OF SAGITTARIUS 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 and will go OOB on the 23 November until the 22 December. The OOB status will mark a heightening of the Mercurial characteristics, thinking big will be the norm. Mercury in the sign of the archer has the tendency to overlook and discard generalised information (Gemini) and practical details (Virgo) placing attention on the bigger picture and thus becoming [...]
