NEPTUNE STATIONS RETROGRADE “Intuition is seeing with the soul.” Dean Koontz Neptune starts his yearly 5-month long retrograde season at 27°41’ in his home sign of Pisces (antiscion 02°19’ Libra) where he has been transiting since 2011-2012. This transit will activate planets or angles between 30-25° of the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces). When Neptune turns retrograde, the inner structures that are undergoing dissolution and change are more easily brought to the attention of our mind allowing us to review our blind-spots and uncover more hidden [...]
SATURN’S 5-MONTH RETROGRADE PERIOD STARTS ON 17 JUNE 2023 Sorting out the possible from the impossible…. Saturn will station retrograde at 07°12’ Pisces (antiscion 22°48’ Libra) on the 17th of June to station direct at 00°31’ Pisces on 4th November. Saturn is the planet of restriction and order which rewards hard work and perseverance. Pisces is known for its fervid imagination and intuitive compassion, it is also the sign of being gullible and goal-less, these two qualities being totally at odds with Saturn themes. Pisces brings to mind the victim and the martyr [...]
SATURN ENTERS PISCES Less than an hour after, and opposite the sign of the Full Moon in Virgo, the planet of rules, regulations, boundaries and restriction enters the sign of the vague, the emotional, the impressionable, the self-indulgent and the boundary-less. A cold, dry, masculine, diurnal planet in a cold, moist, female and nocturnal sign. A sign in which Saturn enjoys minor dignity between 0-10° and 26-30°. This transit will begin on March 7th this year and continue until the 25th of May 2025 when it will enter Aries for a 4-month stay before re-entering Pisces on 1st [...]
MERCURY GLIDES INTO DREAMY PISCES Fantasy becomes reality and authenticity waivers...mind-boggling in the literal sense! Mercury isn’t at his best in Pisces, he’s actually in his 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 [...]
VENUS IN PISCES In love with love On the 26-27 of January (depending on where you are in the world), Venus, the planet of love, romance, harmony and values, glides into the sign of Pisces, the sign of its exaltation, ruled traditionally by Jupiter and where Neptune, modern co-ruler of Pisces, has been transiting since April 2011. On the 15th of February (a day after Valentine’s Day) Venus and Neptune will be cuddling up real close (24°04’ Pisces in longitude and also tightly parallel by declination). What might that mean? That we may be lost in a realm of fantasy, washed [...]
JUPITER STATIONS DIRECT Believe... After a 4-month retrograde period which started in Aries, Jupiter stations direct at 28°47' Pisces (antiscion 1°13' Libra) only minutes before the New Moon in Sagittarius (ruled by Jupiter). Now only Mars, Neptune and Uranus remain retrograde. Jupiter is the traditional night-time ruler of Pisces, only more recently was Neptune assigned as modern co-ruler. Jupiter is a hot moist, masculine planet whilst Pisces is a cold moist, nocturnal and feminine sign. Jupiter stations direct conjunct Fixed Star Scheat which Robson explains as “losses [...]
How can we see clearly? There will be a New Moon at 15°47’ Pisces, a Mutable, Water sign ruled by Neptune (modern) and Jupiter (traditional) only hours after Uranus makes its entrance into Taurus. The Sun and Moon in Pisces will be closely conjunct Neptune, the modern ruler of Pisces with Mercury stationing retrograde at the end of this sign. This could make sensitivity and imagination top-rank allowing the veil between worlds to be lifted, thus giving us a possibility to see the past and the future as we gain major receptivity to subliminal messages from our own soul (Pisces and [...]
