VENUS ENTERS SAGITTARIUS Fleeting love or loving too many? After little over twenty-days in Scorpio’s murky waters Venus now enters the more free-wheeling sign of Sagittarius. On 21 December Venus goes OOB – just in time for Christmas when flirting and innuendos may reach a completely new level! Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, and this rather over-optimistic planet might induce Venus to yearn ecstasy in some form, especially during the days when it will be in a square aspect to transiting Neptune in dreamy Pisces (23-24 December). Rules often also mean a lot to Venus in here, [...]
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[...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT Let’s move forward with optimism… After a period of retrograde motion in the Fire sign of Sagittarius, Mercury now stops in his tracks at 06°24’ (antiscion 23°36’ Capricorn) before picking up speed and moving forward. Wherever Sagittarius is in your chart you’ve been invited during this time to re-evaluate the matters of that house and do so with responsibility since Mercury has already been twice in a square aspect with Saturn and will make a third pass on 27 December. This, for some, may involve purchasing that new phone, computer, car or [...]
NEW MOON IN SAGITTARIUS The New Moon will occur at 01°37’ Sagittarius (antiscion 28°23’ Capricorn) and will be the first of four new moons on the 1° degree of the relative signs over the next four months. One might suppose that with Jupiter being the dispositor of this New Moon things might be on an upward curve after the past two very intense lunations connected to the eclipses along the Scorpio/Taurus axis. A moment of respite and hope after despair. Think again. Only five minutes after the exactness of the New Moon, dispositor Jupiter in its own sign of Pisces stations [...]
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 [...]
VENUS ENTERS SAGITTARIUS After approximately twenty-days stay in Scorpio’s deep and murky waters Venus now enters the more free-wheeling sign of Sagittarius. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter and this rather over-optimistic planet might induce Venus to yearn ecstasy in some form, especially during the days when it will be in a square aspect to transiting Neptune in dreamy Pisces (December 3-4). Rules often also mean a lot to Venus in this sign, inviting others to follow our rules as we preach what we often don’t practice may therefore be another way of expressing itself...this trait [...]
