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 [...]
