Friday 19 May.
New Moon 28 Taurus (conjunct Sedna and Algol, trine Pluto, sextile Mars, sextile Neptune, trine Ceres): the resurrection new moon encourages us to take action on our ideals and purpose, and make key purchases in line with this. Dinner parties. Gaia connection. Setting material intents.
Mercury (6 Taurus) sextile Saturn (6 Pisces) 3 (1: 7 April, 2: 12 May): fertile ideas picked up after reviewing areas with elders. Mental focus.

Saturday 20 May.
Mars into Leo until 9 July: the Warrior takes the reins. Proud, self-assured, direct. This goal-orientated Mars is also looking for fun now. Bold moves. Leadership ambitions.

Sunday 21 May.
Mars (0 Leo) opposite Pluto (0 Aquarius): the Warrior is immediately thwarted, and has to tread carefully through political machinations. Finding allies. Things cannot be forced. Intense energies to use - perhaps for a marathon. (Mars and Pluto are also square the Nodes and Jupiter, making a Grand Fixed Cross... clearing stubborn old stuff out).
Sun enters Gemini until 22 June: versatile, social butterfly Gemini gets people talking.
Sun (0 Gemini) trine Pluto (0 Aquarius): mental resourcefulness. Powerful friends may put in a good word for us. Eliminating unhelpful mental patterns and forgetting about them is easier now.

Monday 22 May.
Sun (1 Gemini) sextile Mars (1 Leo): a huge amount of energy to use. Great for starting new projects. Dancing, hikes.

Tuesday 23 May.
Mars (1 Leo) square Jupiter (1 Taurus): further energy for outrageous moves. Try to be tactful, and consider the potential consequences of huge actions we may take now. Burnout is a possibility - consider pacing yourself a little.
Mercury (8 Taurus) square Pallas Athena (8 Leo): adjusting our strategies through conversations about the practical and financial matters revealed during Mercury's retrograde shadow period since 7 April.

Wednesday 24 May.
Venus (18 Cancer) square Chiron (18 Aries): changes of heart. Sudden relationship shifts, in the name of being ourselves. Very sensitive energies.

Thursday 25 May.
Venus (19 Cancer) sextile Uranus (19 Taurus): after the change of heart, the Goddess of Love is open to encounters she may not previously have countenanced.

Friday 26 May.
Mars (3 Leo) square the Nodes (3 Taurus/Scorpio): Action Man is at the crossroads, in the light of the revelations from the powerful eclipse period and Mercury's retrograde period. Choose growth.

Sunday 28 May.
Sun (6 Gemini) square Saturn (6 Pisces): Saturn has made some decisions after the Grand Fixed Cross met last week. Practical, physical decisions about where we want to build. Elders point out where we should adjust. Our dream weaving, mystical insights and artistic efforts are seen more clearly and chatted about.

Wednesday 31 May.
Mercury exits retrograde shadow (there since 7 April): having chewed over the meaning of old messages, visits from ghosts, and re-evaluated our worth in the light of these things, we have greater clarity. Rare shifts in seemingly fixed situations have made made.
Venus (25 Cancer) sextile Ceres (25 Virgo): the Goddess of Love is out-of-bounds and not playing by the rules, but nevertheless assists in our self-nurturing through new routines such as detoxes and journalling. Home makeovers.

Thursday 1 June - Friday 2 June.
Jupiter conjunct North Node (3 Taurus): seeds planted during the North Node's journey in Taurus since the start of 2022 can grow rapidly now. Seeing the bigger picture around things we have been bringing forth, and being more optimistic about what we have been doing. Unexpected opportunities arise with guidance from elders around whether to take the opportunities or not. (Be aware though, that the last time this aspect occurred in Taurus was May 1929, months before the stock market expanded too far and exploded in the Wall Street crash, leading to the Great Depression.. disagreeing with that potential).

Friday 2 June.
Venus (27 Cancer) trine Neptune (27 Pisces): a highly romantic aspect. Singing and other forms of creativity favoured. Tender connections. Beautifying the home. Little action.

Sunday 4 June.
Full Moon (13 Sagittarius), square Saturn (7 Pisces): intents from the 4 December 2021 solar eclipse bear fruit. Adventure and exploration, beyond our horizons. Truth-searching. The bigger picture. Saturn guides us to temper our aims with realism, and in identifying blocks to be dropped.
Mercury conjunct Uranus (20 Taurus): free of his retrograde shadow period, the scales drop from the Messenger's eyes. Lightning bolts of awareness. Unexpected news. Originality in mental and creative work. Out of a mental rut. Odd and compelling people encountered briefly.

Venus begins an extended stay in the fixed fire sign Leo until October, with a retrograde in the middle, suggesting greater connections to our hearts and value will be made.

A healing journey for the lioness. Hedonism and extravagance. Luxury and bling. Startling and unexpected realisations and events. Shining like the Sun, or looking at where we allow ourselves to do so. Revisiting our creativity and playfulness.

A key decision point for Venus is reached on 2 October, after her heliacal journey to the underworld through the bright portal of the Sun; while burning the candle at both ends at all those parties with the expansive and effervescent Sky God, Jupiter, and experiencing lightning bolts of awareness from the maverick, Uranus, as well as picking up life-changing guidance from the wise old centaur, Chiron.

Heavy energies with Saturn stationary and Pluto back in earthy Capricorn.

Mercury is in Gemini until 27 June: witty repartee, curiosity and learning new things.

Pluto has returned to Capricorn until January 2024: revising power dynamics, responsible governance, and the usefulness of societal structures and traditions. Mercury has passed on secrets to the Lord of the Underworld, who returns to research further into our uses of power in society, which we have especially focused on since Pluto first entered Capricorn in 2008.

Saturday 17 June.
Saturn turns retrograde at 7 degrees Pisces, to return to 0 Pisces on 4 November. The Master of Structure, confused at how structures are dissolving around him in the ocean of Pisces, reviews his progress since he entered the sign of the two fish swimming in opposite directions on 7 March this year. Revising our artistic compositions. Reflecting on our spiritual disciplines such as a daily meditative practice, e.g. to experience enlightenment and Oneness. Revising our dreams, and how we need to alter things to make these dreams come true. Purifying our use of physical water, structured water, spring water. Understanding the oceans and humanity’s interactions with them. Emotional boundaries. Re-evaluation of organised belief systems such as religions, and their usefulness, particularly in view of mass excess deaths and the ongoing Split. Sleeping more. #napsarethebest

Sunday 18 June.
New Moon 26 Gemini (conjunct Juno, square Neptune in Pisces, square Ceres in Virgo, opposite Galactic Centre in Sagittarius): a Grand Mutable Cross. Adaptability in seemingly irreconcilable realities. Negotiations. Paradoxical and nuanced situations navigated with flexibility. Check and clarify everything we read and hear, with Neptune adding the possibility of self-delusion and confusion; alternatively looking for guidance from high-frequency aspects of ourselves such as the universal high-frequency human collective and the world of faerie. Applying common sense and researching claims we hear with care. New projects of study and connections with apparent soulmates to be checked out, in particular.

At least that’s one way I’m using the New Moon, and the stabilising Saturnian energies. 😄

A couple of key astrological influences these days:

Monday 3 July.
Super Full Moon 11 Capricorn (opposite Mercury & the fixed star Sirius in Cancer, trine Jupiter at 9 Taurus, sextile Saturn).
Things begun on the Super New Moon on 2 January 2022 reach fruition. Reaping what we have sown. Patience, industriousness, planning, perseverance, application, disciplined efforts, graft, purposefulness all leading to achievement, success, recognition. Sun and Mercury are conjunct the portal of the bright dog star Sirius, indicating business success through the help of influential people, but we may have to be very careful not to be overly emotional in communication, and seek to be clear. The planetary ruler of Capricorn, Saturn, is sextile the full moon, which could be seen as a marker point of how we are using this Saturn in Pisces period which lasts until 2026 to physically manifest our dreams (and how we are dealing with any barriers to this). Lucky Jupiter in early and earthy Taurus, still just about conjunct the goal-focused North Node, offers strong support to our practical efforts, expanding the effects of our efforts, and our generosity and optimism in these endeavours.

Meanwhile, Neptune is in the middle of a ten-day period of being stationary at 27 Pisces in the sky, before turning retrograde until December. All of our dreams since around 10 March get reviewed, revised, reconsidered. Possibility of overwhelm with the ocean God dominating the heavens, and the Sun and Mercury meeting Sirius in watery Cancer. As Neptune reverses, seeing where we have been beguiled by glamour and charms into delusion and self-deception; and establishing boundaries and releasing any lingering elements of martyrdom, saviour patterns and suchlike is indicated. Veils lifted. Revising creative output.

Keeping to a regular meditative practice with all these powerful emotions around, and using these energies in manifestations with earth-based Taurus and Capricorn emphasised is suggested.

Mercury will stay in Cancer until 11 July, emphasising intuition, rootedness and collective roots, and emotional thinking.

Monday 10 July.
Mars into Virgo until 27 August: Action Man goes for a check-up, detoxifies, and starts doing his workouts on the shifting sands of the beach in preparation for future adventures. Running up dunes (see the Ghola Duncan from the Dune novels [but only the Frank Herbert ones. Repeat: only the ones by F. Herbert]). Intelligent analysis helps the Warrior to identify which key performance indicators to work on.
Pallas Athena also moves into Virgo (until 13 September): Pallas helps Mars hone his technique, in view of the bigger picture. Shifting communication patterns to suit our environment. Diligent work on our intellect. Perfectionism.
Mercury (29 Cancer) opposite Pluto (29 Capricorn): mental transformations, home redevelopments, fiery domestic debates. Research into family secrets. News of upcoming reality fracturing potentials in the second half of July, when the Nodes change signs and square Pluto and the Sun.

Tuesday 11 July.
Mercury enters Leo until 29 July. Dramatic and playful communications. Bold plans. Persuasive and even theatrical oratory. Gripping storytellers, though we may be less keen on listening these days.
Jupiter (10 Taurus) sextile Juno (10 Cancer): expansion of emotional commitments. Travelling partners in exotic locations.

Wednesday 12 July.
Sun (19 Cancer) square Chiron (19 Aries): the guide to adventures beyond the world of common day is coming to a halt in Aries, getting stronger as he does so, and assists us in removing any emotional masks we may wear. Formerly unexpressive people shock by wearing their heart on their sleeve. Stepping away from importances around our identity, though processing may help here. Allowing feelings to guide us to the heart of the matter. Vulnerabilities acknowledged.

Thursday 13 July.
Mars conjunct Pallas Athena (1 Virgo): getting a personal trainer and a nutritionist to help us smash those personal bests. Far-sighted Pallas coaches the Warrior and provides strategic guidance. Mentoring or being mentored. They are conjunct Regulus, the royal fixed star, suggesting that we align our actions with noble causes.

Friday 14 July.
Sun (22 Cancer) sextile Uranus (22 Taurus): pleasant surprises. Stimulating people. Creativity in traditional surroundings. The anarchic in tweed. Flashes of inspiration from familial members and those in close-knit groups. Technology brought into the home changes old patterns into something surprisingly efficient. Uncovering family histories.

Saturday 15 July.
Mercury (6 Leo) sextile Ceres (6 Libra): our minds are nurtured by charming conversations.

Monday 17 July.
New Moon 25 Cancer (square Eris (25 Aries) who is conjunct the North Node, opposite Pluto at 29 Capricorn, and trine Neptune at 27 Pisces).
A Grand Cardinal Cross is activated by this New Moon that lights up the impact of the 2020 and 2021 Pluto-Eris squares, which disrupted the world, on our home and family lives. Home shifts, family disruptions.
The North Node is about to move into Aries until 11 January 2025, offering once-in-a-lifetime astrological support to blaze a new and exciting trail while the old world disassembles. The South Node moves into Libra in the same time period, urging us to finally release all dissonant connections and shift to more resonant partnerships and cultural forms. Seismic shifts. Reality disintegrating aspects. The release of emotional baggage while the South Node was in Scorpio for 18 months is complete, leaving us free to explore new feelings and initiate emotional adventures with this Cancer-ruled New Moon.
The Sun has access to otherworldly friends and their particular perspectives through his trine to Neptune at 27 Pisces. Tarot readings, astrological guidance, mediums and all forms of meditations can aid us in seeing exactly where our heart indicates we will choose to go pioneering with the North Node in Aries. The visual and musical arts assist our intuition.

Meanwhile, Action Man Mars is stalled by the wise old mystic, Saturn, at 6 Pisces, who enquires as to whether all those detailed and organised schemes the Warrior in Virgo is compiling are really of any use and have any long-term value. Patience and self-discipline are helpful for the God of Action. Endurance sports. Seeing the bigger picture.

Venus is coming to a halt at 28 Leo on Sunday 23 July, minutes after the Sun enters Leo for thirty days of fun, drama and creativity. Venus will retrograde for forty days and forty nights until 3 September, offering the opportunity to review what we have been focusing on in our financial and romantic lives, and looking at where we may have a change of heart. Venus will finally leave her retrograde shadow on 7 October. Any changes of heart between now and 3 September could be reversed from then to 7 October.

Tuesday 1st August.
Super Full Moon 9 Aquarius at Lammas/Lughnasadh the Harvest Festival (square Jupiter 13 Taurus): actions from the New Moon on 1 February 2022 come to fruition. The rebel. Eccentric behaviour. Visions of the future from early 2022 crystallise. Community ties with like-minded folk. Lightning bolts of understanding about the new structures of our lives, after we adjusted them during the 2021 Saturn-Uranus squares. Intellectual efforts are harvested, especially ones from Saturn’s recent journey through Aquarius which took place between March 2020 to July 2020, as well as between December 2020 and March this year. Technological developments.

Mercury (5 Virgo) opposite Saturn (5 Pisces, retrograde): Mercury slows down during his methodical planning, organising and detail-checking as Saturn continues his review of our progress in materialising our dreams, mystical visions and artistic efforts until the Lord of Physical Reality returns to 0 Pisces on 4 November and then turns to restart his voyage across the Piscean oceans. The Messenger is forced to adapt and reorganise his plans, routines and timetables to move towards these dreams; as the sands he stands on shift underneath his feet. On 3rd August, Mercury will enter his retrograde shadow at 8 Virgo (going retrograde on 23 August at 21 Virgo), so this total reorganisation of the practical steps required to move towards our dreams will be on-going until the end of September. Saturn hasn’t been in Pisces since his stay from 1993-1996, so looking at those years could help to see the things you will probably be focusing on now.

Also on Tuesday, Mars (13 Virgo) trines Jupiter (13 Taurus): bold moves, expansive and tangible achievements, aided by strategic shifts in our activities guided by Pallas Athena who is also in Virgo. Making a series of tiny improvements that lead to a massive difference. Actions begun now have huge indications of success, astrologically. Risk-taking pays off. Taking the lead. Decisive action. Spiritual growth in practical and measurable ways.

✨✨✨

A fiery few days.

Sunday 13 August.
Venus Star Point: Sun conjunct retrograde Venus (20 Leo): The Goddess of Love’s journey backwards meets the Sun, as she switches to being a more assertive morning star. Changes of heart, connecting with old flames.. even past life lovers. New 8 year Venus cycle begun. See August 2015/2007/1999/1991/1984/etc for when we started 8 year Venus cycles in this area & what you began in those periods.
Venus trines Chiron for the second time, suggesting that heartaches & financial issues noticed when Venus first trined Chiron on 29 June are being reviewed with more clarity. Where are we reaccessing our playfulness, creativity & joy? Releasing blocks here. Reconnecting to our soul. Internal restoration. Reigniting passion.
🔥🔥🔥

Also on 13 August: Pluto (28 Capricorn) opposite Juno (28 Cancer): partnerships forensically examined. Transformational commitments in the home. Steer clear of power struggles. 🏡💣

Then on Tuesday 15 August, Juno enters Leo until 17 October: committing ourselves to what makes our heart beat a bit faster. Fun and joy are key. A summer of love, festivals, dates, parties and children. Celebrity marriages. 👦👧

Wednesday 16 August.
New Moon 23 Leo (conjunct Venus, square Uranus (23 Taurus), trine North Node (26 Aries & sextile S Node (26 Libra) and sextile Ceres (18 Libra)):
Courageous leadership, shining in public, self-acceptance, following our hearts desires, looking after our childlike selves & reconnecting to our enthusiasm.
Uranus squaring the New Moon suggests new ventures trigger shocking practical consequences, as the rebel planet stirs things up in our favour. Responding to unexpected changes with flexibility and fixedness of purpose. Personal growth & learning opportunities. Careful with radical shifts, but independence & individuality is prioritised at this New Moon.
The trine to the North Node in Aries (the NN is in Aries until January 2025) implies leading a trailblazing endeavour, while the sextile to the South Node in Libra indicates dissolving LF connections.
Ceres sextile the New Moon: nurturing conversations and art inspire our new leonine pursuits.
The new moon is conjunct fixed star Tianyi, connecting us to Chinese dragons & lanterns. 🐉🦁♌️

Also on 16 August: Mars (23 Virgo) trines Uranus (23 Taurus)… both trine Pluto at 28 Capricorn, forming a Grand Earth Trine: sudden moves of transformational genius are a possibility here. Ingenious practical solutions. Adventurous and bold scientific experiments. Actively bringing about our future. The chess player who is several moves ahead. ♟️👸🏼🫅🏰

The Sun has entered Virgo (until 23 September), as we get organised, practically adjust plans & routines. Focused efforts & communication..

…but Mercury is now retrograde at 21 Virgo (until 15 Sept when the Messenger reaches 8 Virgo; & he then leaves his retrograde shadow on 30 Sept). Plans made and things discussed since 3 August are being renegotiated, revised, re-everything. Ghosts appear with useful & perhaps shocking insights, as Uranus the Awakener stations for ten days going retrograde next week at 23 Taurus (until 27 Jan), while trine stationary Mercury. Both are in Earth signs, suggesting a rethink of our day-to-day environment. Check computers, phones, & all forms of technology are updated and backed up. Illuminating old memories & reframing them in a more HF way.. even altering our past thru increased awareness and other perspectives on what we remember. Uranus/Mercury working together suggests earthquakes, or similarly disruptive ideas & messages. Flexibility in fast-moving situations. Chance meetings. Ingenious solutions.

Mars in late Virgo has just passed his opposition to Neptune in Pisces: things begun at the Mars/Neptune conjunction on 18/5/2022 at 25 Pisces (after their initiation on the 12/4/2022 Jupiter/Neptune conjunction at 23 Pisces) reach fruition. Mystical, artistic, dream fulfilment all indicated. Mars had 3 opening squares to Neptune, unusually: on 12/10/2022, 19/11/2022 and 15/3/2023, while retrograding; as these things were adjusted. Mars’ closing Neptune square is on 28 Dec this year: further developments then.

Now Mars has passed his opposition to Neptune, the scales fall from his eyes & his energy returns. He trined Pluto yesterday, setting off a Grand Earth Trine (with Uranus in Taurus). Physical rehabilitation, transformations in our activities, investigations. Obstacles cleared more easily in internal/‘outer’ reality.

Sunday 27 August: asteroid Nessus (17 Pisces) opposes another asteroid Thereus (17 Virgo) for the 3rd time (1: 14/10/22, 2: 18/2/23, 4: 26/5/24, 5: 6/6/24): a period where maintaining HF, clearing our entourage, & leaving dissonant groups and people is critical. Detox parasites. Vinegar steam to clear the skies. Processing & releasing obsessive thoughts/victim-aggressor/martyr-saviour complexes. This appears to be a key aspect in the on-going Split, where those who would hijack and use our power are more & more visible, while attempting to lurk in the background. For more here see the astrologer, the Sky Priestess.
Sun (3 Virgo) opposite Saturn (3 Pisces, retrograde): Saturn has been quiet for ages, but pipes up from where he has been chilling on his ocean liner, to remind us that sometimes people have made higher self choices which we have to respect. Doing what we can, patiently & persistently, in materialising our dreams. Gaining hard-won knowledge & skills.
Mars enters Libra on Sunday also (until 12 Oct): diplomacy & charm prevails, but his ruling planet Venus is also retrograde, so it is even harder for the Libran Mars to settle on a plan than usual. (Venus goes direct on Sunday 3 Sept, changing his activities again). Not being passive aggression is key here. Looking for partnerships.

Monday 28 August. Uranus turns retrograde at 23 Taurus: reviewing where we have limited ourselves & held ourselves back through programs from living more authentically & spontaneously. Reflecting on how we changed since Uranus entered his retrograde shadow on 12 May. The rebel planet will turn direct on 27 Jan. Reviewing new electronic currencies & energy networks. Dietary revolutions.

Wednesday 30 August. Super Full Moon 7 Pisces (conjunct Saturn): relates to ventures started on the 2/3/2022 New Moon. A sobering reality check on how our progress on fashioning our lives in terms of our dreams is going, & how conscious we are about these things. Meditating on this, communing with HF friends. Surrealism, fantastical dreamscapes crystallised into great works of art, particularly in literature.

Note: Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto & Chiron are all retrograde now.

Venus is now Direct at 12 Leo: it is safe to restyle ourselves. As a Morning Star the Goddess of Love becomes a real go-getter. Living from the heart, although we may have another change of heart now Venus moves forward again. All that has been in our hearts and that we value, which we considered from 19 June, when Venus entered her retrograde shadow, until 22 July; and then looked at again while Venus went backwards until this week, is reconsidered again until the Goddess leaves her retrograde shadow on 7 October. Values, joy and playfulness focused on. Singing, acting, the spotlight.

Jupiter has turned retrograde at 15 Taurus, while trining retrograde Mercury in Virgo, who has been checking the accounts, old messages and documents, and assisting old contacts to get in touch and provide us with information we had overlooked. Jupiter reviews our sensible and practical expansions since 11 June, and perhaps where we have been a bit over-indulgent and less active than we could have been. Information rediscovered which could help increase our financial value, or self-worth, or both.

Jupiter is 8 degrees from retrograde Uranus in Taurus, where the Awakener has been helping to increase our conscious connection to Gaia since 2018. These two planets will meet next April to offer the possibility of a really conscious and expansive revolution, but for now the Sky God Jupiter goes backwards to review matters until the end of the year, before getting a good run-up to rock our world in April.

Mercury trines Jupiter all this month (and last month): it was exact on 9 August, 5 September, and also is for a third time on 25 September, shortly before leaving his retrograde shadow; so keep checking documents and talking to ghosts.

Vesta in late Gemini trines Ceres who is conjunct the South Node in late Libra; while Ceres squares Pluto: dropping LF connections and art forms, stepping away from codependencies, making space for the new.

Weds 6 Sept: Sun conjunct retrograde Mercury (13 Virgo): we knew it deep down, but now we have the evidence. What is found indicates deeper digging is needed, which can then result in a shift in our approach more generally. Ingrained habits and routines questioned.

Friday 8 Sept: Sun (15 Virgo) trine Jupiter (15 Taurus): the Sun takes the data from Mercury to Jupiter, as the Sky God sees how these small details could really help his plans take off. Values and work get more in sync. Ways to improve our income lines and net worth become clearer.

(see more info in this video on the 2023 Venus retrograde, linked to here: https://t.me/AstroLeeD/123).

Pallas Athena has entered Libra until 19 Nov; Vesta has entered Cancer until returning to Gemini on 3 November; squaring each other: patterns in relationships seen, especially domestic ones. Give & take or take, take, take? Legal strategies pursued. Fairness. Where do we feel nurtured?

Friday 15 Sept:
New Moon 22 Virgo (trine Uranus (22 Taurus) & Pluto (28 Capricorn): a Grand Earth Trine; trine Jupiter (15 Taurus); opposite Neptune (26 Pisces)): perfect for physical manifestations, rituals & sourcery. Transformative advances in innovative scientific/technological experiments. Risk-taking pays off, without causing upsets or (too much) chaos. Dissonant habits dropped. Decluttering. Neptune is opposite the New Moon, forming a Kite configuration with the equilateral triangle of the Grand Trine, indicating that we can more easily seed beautiful & magickal dreams now. Wealth & good fortune. (N Moon on 14/9 or 15/9, depending on where we are on Earth).

Mercury stations direct (8 Virgo): plans and systems we have been mulling over since 3 August, when the Messenger entered his retrograde shadow, become clearer. How to change routines for improved physical & mental health. The sands have been shifting under our feet, especially while Venus was retrograde: what we really value as well as where our joy actually is has become clearer. Seeing how to reorganise our lives to be more able to take the required practical steps to manifest our dreams from the New Moon onwards.

Ceres enters passionate Scorpio until 25 November: nurturing our feelings. The pleasure-seeking Scorpionic Ceres is in a Grand Water Trine with Saturn in Pisces & Vesta in Cancer. This with the Grand Earth Trine makes for extremely fertile energies.

Sunday 17 September:
Venus (15 Leo {conjunct Juno}) square Jupiter (3) (1: 11/6, 2: 22/8): the Goddess of Love, still in her retrograde shadow until 7 October, squares the Sky God all month, but it is exact today. Venus meets the Goddess of Commitment, Juno (who is also Jupiter’s wife), & romantic commitments are made, which it is suggested feature adjustments around our material assets. Stories arise of love, what we value, and money. Clarity on indulgences to drop. Seeing how to easily expand our financial chi. Adjusting away from things which drain us.

Happy Equinox and Mabon: balanced between the seasons, setting intentions using the energies of Gaia, and seeking harmony as the Sun enters Libra until 23 October. Walking in the wilderness and forests, collecting plants and objects such as rocks, acorns, pine cones and autumn leaves to use in magick and to decorate the home. Apple pie, pumpkin cake, cornbread.

Saturday 23 September.
Venus (18 Leo) trine Chiron (18 Aries) 3 (1: 29/6, 2: 14/8): further healing of the heart, reconnecting to our feelings, self-worth, creativity and playfulness. The Goddess of Love continues to contemplate these areas.
Mars (18 Libra) opposite Chiron (18 Aries): being very clear about what we want in relationships and partnerships, which could be life-changing, while possibly feeling vulnerable. Releasing old anger and triggers. Revitalised. Physical rehabilitation.

Monday 25 September.
Mercury (14 Virgo) trine Jupiter (14 Taurus) 3 (1: 10/8, 2: 5/9): the messenger has been reviewing work-based communications, schedules, healthcare routines and our day-to-day lives, and is much clearer on the practical steps we can take to make our dreams happen. Old colleagues and friends, and collective and individual pasts are reframed and seen anew. How to expand our self and net worth seen.

Friday 29 September.
Super Full Harvest Moon 6 Aries (opposite Pallas Athena (7 Libra), square Vesta (3 Cancer)): activities, fitness plans, entrepreneurial ventures and leadership campaigns initiated on April Fool's Day on 1 April 2022 mature. Diplomatic interventions and wise guidance. Balance between our and the other's desires. Urgently expressing our emotions in partnerships. New awareness of our physical bodies.
Venus (22 Leo) (also conjunct Juno) square Uranus (22 Uranus) 3 (1: 2 July, 2: 9 August): Spontaneity, novelty and stimulation sought in established relationships. Experimentation. Impulse purchases possibly. Surprising financial news.

Saturday 30 September.
Mercury exits his retrograde shadow at 21 Virgo (been there since 5 August): our long audit & reorganisation of our routines, healthcare, communications systems and plans is complete.
Mercury (22 Virgo) trine Uranus (22 Taurus): with a clear head we look to the future. Seeing things differently. Flashes of inspiration. Technological ideas. Psychic insights. New online work and communication forms explored.

Eris, Goddess of discord, is conjunct the North Node, & Mars is conjunct the South Node, indicating actively dropping what no longer resonates, & shaking things up in order 2b more authentically ourselves.

Mercury finally enters Libra today for more diplomatic communications & pleasant discussions. Venus in Leo, still in retrograde shadow until Saturday, works with disruptive Eris, the NNode & the Galactic Centre in late Sagittarius this week: suggesting key heart-based choices being made around our joys, finances & values after our review of these areas since June; b4 Venus leaves for Virgo on Sunday.

However, on Sunday: Libran Mars squares Pluto in late Capricorn, (& opposes Eris, conjunct the SN), indicating a huge rebalancing & releasing of dissonant activities is going on. Pluto is very strong, stationing direct next Tuesday, highlighting all sorts of institutional corruption and "leaders" becoming visible.

We are in Eclipse Season.

Things and people tend to eclipse in and out of our lives in these eclipse periods, and this one lasts from the Full Moon on 29 September until the New Moon on 13 November


Saturday 14 October.
Annular “Ring of Fire” Solar Eclipse 21 Libra, conjunct the South Node, Pallas Athena and Mercury; square Pluto; opposite Eris and Chiron.
The letting go of dissonant relationships and art forms gets intensified. Peace talks and diplomacy with those on our frequency. Forging new alliances. Harmonising and balancing the give-and-take in relationships. Releasing old mental constructs: books, TV shows, etc. Processing old relationship programs. Litigation and other legal matters reach a turning point. Fearlessly telling our side of the story with clarity and accuracy, though it may trigger others. Sensitivities to communications can arise, through a delicate network of allies, so tread carefully.
This eclipse has an air of chaos around it. It is most visible in the Americas. from North America down to Brazil.
Releasing relationships and clearly seeing why you are doing this, or processing programs to live in more harmony with our connections.
Similar eclipses were on 13 October 2004, 3 October 1986 and 18 October 1967. What were you up to then?

Saturday 28 October.
Partial Full Moon Lunar Eclipse 5 Taurus, conjunct Jupiter, opposite Mercury and Mars, trine Lilith and Juno, sextile Vesta.
The last of a series of Taurus-Scorpio eclipses which have been on-going since 2021: how has your relationship with finances, self-worth and sharing resources shifted during this time period?
Finally dropping unhealthy eating and spending habits. Putting more chi into beneficial and inspirational areas. Further shifts in cryptocurrencies. Things come to a head in the areas of food intake, money, sex and resources - any lacks here, in our environment or at an emotional level, are keenly felt. Connections to our physical bodies are seen to have improved.
Mercury and Mars in Scorpio and opposing the full moon indicate that news of transformative and powerful actions reaches us, which Jupiter might blow out of all proportion, so checking the facts would be wise.
Finally clearing residual poverty programs, around areas such as sharing, possessiveness, comfort and self-worth.
Saturn sextiles the eclipse from 0 Pisces, where the Lord of Structure is slowing to turn direct in early November, and offers practical advice on how to respond to what arises at this eclipse.
Grounding ourselves, incarnating fully into our bodies, enhancing and expanding our income, managing our resources (assets, possessions, talents, etc.) more effectively, stopping over-doing or being dependent.
This full moon eclipse relates to things begun at the Solar Eclipse on 30 April 2022, which matured around 28 January 2023, and will have a final act on 28 July 2024.
Previous similar lunar eclipses were on: 27 October 2004, 28 October 1986 and 29 October 1966.

Enjoy. :) See for more: https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/lunar/2023-october-28

The New Moon at 20 Scorpio on Monday 13 November marks the end of a fairly chaotic eclipse period. As Douglas Adams wrote, ‘We have normality. I repeat. We have normality. Anything you still can’t cope with is therefore your own problem’. 😂

Conjunct Mars, this New Moon offers courage, passion, assertion and motivation to step further into our power, taking action towards professional goals and desires.

Uranus opposes the NM from Taurus, signalling urges for independence, impulsiveness, unexpected changes and eccentric behaviour. Technological disruptions. Radical changes of tactics. Awakening to the impact of our actions. Cryptocurrencies and shared assets jolted into shifts.

Neptune trines the NM: action in line with our dreams, guidance from non-physical friends.

Ceres conjunct NM: nurturing intimate and emotional connections begun, that transform us both.

While the South Node was in Scorpio from December 2021 until July 2023 & during the recent eclipses, a lot was released, especially in terms of formerly stuck emotions. Now this new Scorpionic cycle of energies helps us to cut loose and play our own game, but patience and flexibility is called for as empowering adventures and connections begin.

Saturn in Pisces 2023-2026.

This is generally a period where groundbreaking collective daydreams are formed, in the areas of art, plays, novels, films (including animation) and virtual worlds.

The beginnings of a long period of artistic development, such as was seen with The Hobbit (1937 publication) and The Lord of the Rings (a long gestation period for the Peter Jackson films began in the mid-nineties), Dune, various iterations of Star Trek, and cutting-edge forms of animation (at the time) such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Toy Story.

The mystical teacher. Dedicated meditative practices. Developing and expanding our awareness and skills on a regular basis, like a mystical Olympian, in areas such as out-of-body-experiences, lucid dreaming, astral travel, mediumship and telekinesis.

Persistent and businesslike Saturn grounds mystical ideals.

The Split becomes physically apparent. Things, even whole ways of life, can vanish. Boundaries secured by empaths.

Oceanic explorations. Retreats. An imploding light-dark paradigm. Linear time and its usefulness and limitations explored. Medical and scientific delusions unmasked.

Saturn solidifies the new awarenesses reached while Neptune has been in Pisces since 2011, as we wrap up long, long cycles before the Lord of Time and Structure meets mystical and artistic Neptune in Aries in 2026, indicating the beginnings of a new dream.

The Astrology of 2024: An Overview.

Pluto re-enters Aquarius in January: shaking dogma and showing how to change to higher-frequency futures, while empowering groups and intellectual research.

Explosive Valentine's Day aspects: Venus and Mars conjunct Pluto, while the Chiron in Aries reaches the North Node, suggesting huge changes of life-course are available in mid-February.

The start of a two-year phase of new activity around our long-term mystical and artistic visions with Mars meeting Saturn and Neptune in Pisces during April. Mars and Saturn won’t meet again in Pisces for decades, and Neptune has an apparent 160 year or so orbit, so grab golden opportunities now.

A key astrological sequence in
2024: revolutions in areas such as agriculture and finance, as well as our connections to our physical bodies and Gaia, as Jupiter and then Mars meet electric Uranus in earthy Taurus; before Jupiter gets chatty in the sign of the Twins, Gemini, and helps Pluto to make those powerful messages go viral.

All the eclipse info for March/April, when life-script changing messages and information offer a new way forward.

The end of a long phase of various hunter-stalker energies being resolved in a high-frequency way with the Nessus-Thereus opposition in May and June.

The Gemini Venus Star Point in June helps us to speak from the heart. Also in June, a Grand Water Trine helps our intuition get psychic, and aids us in aligning with a sense of sacred purpose, while getting our strategic senses working as well.

Also, in September/October, surreal and mystical experiences herald the first of a sequence of Piscean/Virgo eclipses before we see a whole new side of people at the “Ring of Fire” Libran eclipse.

At the end of the year, just before Mars retrogrades, he joins a powerful and passionate grand trine of placements in fire at the end of November, helping us to pour our energy into exciting new adventures.

Then we rethink our actions due to powerful transformative influences all around, as Mars goes retrograde in Leo and then Cancer for months, while opposing the Great Eliminator, Pluto. Action Man reflects on the cold, hard truths that Pluto has imparted to him, before adapting in order to return stronger in 2025.

Also included are key asteroid passages, Mercury's retrogrades, and all the New and Full Moons of 2024.
