URANUS BACKTRACKS INTO TAURUS FOR THE LAST TIME IN THIS CENTURY Between 7-8 November (depending where you are located in the world) Uranus will re-enter Taurus for the last time this century, making its next transit of the sign from 2102 to 2110. Uranus will return to Gemini on 25-26 April 2026 after first stationing on 3-4 February 2026 at 27°27’ Taurus. When Uranus makes his final re-entry into Taurus we will have more of what has been seen during the last 7 years of the planet’s stay there. On a mundane level, the already experienced disruption and innovation of monetary [...]
URANUS STATIONS RETROGRADE IN GEMINI …… can we cope with surprises? After a tentative entrance in Gemini on the 7th of July, Uranus starts his yearly, five-month retrograde period at 01°27’ Gemini on 05-06 September (antiscion 28°33’ Cancer) which lasts until 03 February 2026 when the planet stations direct at 27°27’ Taurus. When planets station, they usually manifest all their power. Uranus represents revolution and change as well as the need to be free and independent, above all from responsibility. The planet governs science and technology as well as astrology it [...]
URANUS STATIONS DIRECT and the unexpected becomes manifest…. Uranus ends his yearly, five-month retrograde period at 23°15’ Taurus (antiscion 06°45’ Leo). Slowly picking up speed, on the 6-7 July this year Uranus will make a brief and tentative entrance into the sign of Gemini, remaining there until 7-8 November when the retrograde period will take the planet back into Taurus until 25-26 April 2026 after which Uranus will permanently enter the sign of Gemini for approximately seven years – but that’s another story! So, what might we expect by taking Uranus at face-value [...]
Mars-Uranus conjunction map MARS CONJOINS WITH URANUS AND ALGOL Although not an exceptionally rare event since Mars-Uranus conjoin approximately every two years or so this conjunction is particular for the fact that the two planets conjoin at 26°19 Taurus (antiscion 03° 41' Leo) on the Fixed Star Algol. Those with natal planets or angles between 23-30° of the Fixed signs Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius will be involved in this conjunction. Mars: passion, anger, energy and wilfulness etc – all a little tarnished by the planet having minor dignity only by face and also being [...]
Me? Or should I say we? The Full Moon will occur at 09°05’ Leo (antiscion 20°55’ Taurus). Leo is a Fixed, Fire sign. In traditional astrology Leo governs the 5th house, so this Full Moon operates on the 5th-11th house axis (Leo-Aquarius): the things we create for our own personal satisfaction (including our children) vs our group efforts, the artist vs the scientist, the autocrat vs the democrat etc. The lunation chart itself will have a heavy Earth/Air elemental sense to it (4 planets in each element) together with a feeling of being stuck (7 planets in Fixed signs). Practical [...]
Obey… The New Moon will occur at 23°13’ Capricorn (antiscion 6°37’ Sagittarius) and will be OOB. The Moon's transit through the declinations will cycle between nominal highs and extreme highs over a period of about 18 years. The last cycle of extreme highs ended in 2011. The present cycle of extreme highs began in April 2020.* Capricorn is a Cardinal, Earth sign, so persons with planets or angles of the natal chart at 21-26° of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer and Libra will be particularly affected by this lunation. New Moons are notoriously the best moment to set fresh [...]
Abstract ideas or unconventional truths? In Aquarius, a sign co-ruled by Saturn (traditional) and Uranus (modern), Mercury is even more thirsty for knowledge, always in search of new ideas and technologies but ready to reject or even abandon them as soon as new (Uranus) becomes normal (Saturn). Mercury in Aquarius will give us new visions, make us aware of new possibilities, allow us to envision an ideal world or society, which might be great as a theory, but much less so as a practicality. Aquarius is a fixed Air sign so here Mercury is at home in the mind and intellect but less so [...]
The spookiest night with a Full Moon to light up the hidden corners so that we can see the Uranus surprises even better! The Full Moon will take place at 8°38’ Taurus (antisicion 21°22’ Leo) and will be in an almost exact (to the minute) conjunction with retrograde Uranus. It’s the second Full Moon in a calendar month (October) and as such is known as a “Blue” Moon. The lunation chart is another of those heavy in Earth elements and Cardinal modes so we should be acting with our heads on our shoulders so to speak, moving forward with sense and practicality. It falls on the [...]
Saturn’s influence is still hard to ignore… The New Moon will occur at 26°35’ Leo (antiscion 3°35’ Taurus) and will form a partile quincunx aspect to Saturn retrograde in Capricorn. Quincunxes are aspects of tension rather than of action and this one has a 6th house flavour to it (Saturn is 6 houses after the New Moon by sign), hinting at health issues and daily grind, so, again we have a Saturn influence in a monthly lunation as for the past four. The tension aspect of the quincunx is usually released by a transiting planet passing over the degree of the aspect and the release[...]
All I'm askin', is for a little respect when you get home (just a little bit)”* After a long stay in the homely sign of Cancer due to its retrograde period, Mercury now enters flamboyant Leo for a brief two-week stay. In Leo, all planets want to be respected according to their nature. Mercury in Leo wants to be respected for his opinions and views and in desiring this, self-confidence often turns into bravado and presumption. During this brief stay in Leo, Mercury will make the following aspects: 10 August: square Uranus in Taurus (10°40’) – both in in Fixed signs this could[...]
