MERCURY STATIONS DIRECTS Fantasy becomes reality and authenticity waivers…. Mercury stations direct at 08°29’ Pisces (antiscion 21°31’ Libra) exactly conjunct the transiting North Node so if your chart has this degree prominent you may find an upswing of the affairs of the house where Mercury is to be found and the houses it rules. Mercury is also parallel Mars which adds anger and haste to actions and words. 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.[...]
NEW MOON IN PISCES It’s all about seeing things as they really are. The sixth and last of a series of six New Moons at 28° of the relative signs (including the recent Solar Eclipse at 28° Aquarius), this lunation will be at 28° 27’ Pisces (antiscion 01°33’ Libra). New Moons are notoriously the best moment to set fresh intentions for the month ahead. This one falls on the 12th-6th house axis (Pisces-Virgo) so themes such as chaos vs order, compassion vs criticism and wholeness vs perfection come to mind. A Mutable modality Moon is always restless by nature, and the [...]
MARS ENTERS PISCES and tired is the new normal... Although in its own triplicity in Pisces, Mars tends nevertheless to lose itself a little in this sign. Energies are scattered and vitality is often low which might lead to a tendency to brooding and introspection. On the other hand, Mars in Pisces is often gifted with an unusual intuitive accuracy but frequently prefers to win by yielding itself to the other as it moves from one mood to another with great ease thus creating confusion in the adversary. Helplessness is often used as a weapon “poor me” in the hope of creating a bad[...]
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 [...]
NEPTUNE STATIONS DIRECT IN PISCES The fog will lift…but the lies may continue For the final run in Pisces after 14 years of permanence!!! Neptune turns direct on 10 December at 29°22’ Pisces (antiscion 00°38’ Libra). This means that uncertainties or lack of clarity that you have been internalizing and that may have surfaced from the past, finally start to lift as the fog clears (look to the house where you have Pisces on the cusp to see where the fogginess may have been manifesting for you as well as the sign/house/aspects of your natal Neptune). Neptune transiting through the[...]
SATURN STATIONS DIRECT The last station of Saturn in Pisces - have we learned any lessons? Saturn will end its annual retrograde period on 27-28 November, to station direct at 25°09’ Pisces (antiscion 04°51’ Libra) in an exact to the minute trine aspect to the Jupiter station retrograde in Cancer which took place on 11 November this year. This aspect is still in force and there is a Grand Water trine formed by the Saturn-Neptune R trine Jupiter R trine Mercury R-Venus. Too many (Jupiter R) poisonous (Venus in Scorpio) words (Mercury) R have the ability (Saturn) to confuse and [...]
MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT IN PISCES Is the fog lifting? Doubt it! On 7 April Mercury will station direct at 26°49’ Pisces (antiscion 03°11’ Libra), a direct station after three weeks of retrograde is usually a cause for a huge sigh of relief from many of us (the larger part of the retrograde period was spent in Aries). Unfortunately, not so this time since Mercury stations direct in a tight separating conjunction to both Saturn and Venus R, closely sextile Uranus also to a trine to Mars. Mercury is also on the degree of the nodes making it one of the most important planets in the [...]
VENUS RETROGRADE IN ARIES/PISCES Venus, the planet of values (what WE value and desire), love and finances, entered the sign of Aries on the 4 February this year. Venus usually spends approximately 37 days in each sign but due to its 42-day retrograde period it will actually remain in Aries only until the 27 March (retrograding from 10°50’ Aries – antiscion 19°10’ Virgo) before re-entering the sign of Pisces and stationing direct on the 12-13 of April at 24°37’ Pisces (antiscion 05°23’ Libra). The last time Venus was retrograde in the signs of Aries-Pisces was in [...]
MERCURY GLIDES INTO DREAMY PISCES Fantasy becomes reality and authenticity waivers….. It’s Valentine’s day too! 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. Also, the planet will return to Pisces in late March due to the retrograde period which begins on the 14-15 March at 09°35’ Aries. Mercury in Pisces 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 [...]
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 [...]
