Astrology of June 2020: a wild wave then the sea calms

The astrology of June 2020 is going to be like a rough wave rolling in. The first half of the month will be heavy, with Sun / Venus conjunct and square Mars / Neptune, all under the influence of Jupiter conjunct Pluto. But, apart from the longer dance of Jupiter and Pluto, all this rolls through before the middle of the month, replaced [read more...]

Full Moon in Sagittarius 5 June 2020: Turn the Page

The upcoming Full Moon in Sagittarius arrives on 5 June and is also an Eclipse.

If you have been keeping up to date with the astrology lately, you most likely know that the air all around us is buzzing with cerebral, vibrant Gemini energy. We may have four planets (Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto) travelling backwards through the Zodiac, but the stillness is only surface-level. Things are churning and stirring [read more...]

Full Moon in Virgo 9 March 2020: a moment of clarity

The next Full Moon arriving on March 9 (5:47 PM UTC), at 19°37 of Virgo, brings a dose of practical magic to pierce the veil of the recent Mercury Retrograde cycle, which will be coming to an end hours after the Full Moon itself: considering the state of alert and (legitimate) health concerns that are taking hold in many parts of the [read more...]

What is the purpose of Pluto transits and why are they so damn hard?

Pluto moves really slowly, taking 248 years to orbit the Sun. Because of this many people will only experience a few personal Pluto transits in their lifetime. By personal I mean when Pluto moves into a position where it creates an aspect to one of your natal planets or points. For example, Pluto at 18 degrees Cancer forms a square to [read more...]

Black Moon Lilith: a deeper look at Lilith in astrology

Whether you’re a man or a woman, Lilith in astrology embodies the ‘dark’ aspects of the feminine: subversion, insubordination, deviant sexuality, rebellion and rage. Yet who is Black Moon Lilith and is she friend or foe? Black Moon Lilith entered Aries on 27 January, and will form a conjunction with Venus on Sunday 9 [read more...]

Astro time management: a time for every purpose under heaven

Lately I haven’t felt much like writing. Instead my free time has been spent on my garden, personal reflection or research.

Full Moon in Gemini: shape-shifting

To me, it seems oddly relevant that the last Full Moon of both the year 2019 and the decade will occur in the dual, mutable, feathery sign of Gemini — at 19°51, on December 12, 05:12 AM UTC. Mutable signs are the signs that cap off each season and prepare us for the next: they are known for their adaptable spirit and shape-shifting [read more...]

2019 Australian Bushfires: Saturn conjunct Pluto square Mars

Mars square Saturn: Resistance is futile, surrender to limits

Mars square Saturn is exact on 28 October but if your chart is triggered, as mine is, you’ll probably already be feeling its affect. It’s a sensation of pushing an elephant up a hill, of trying to overcome an insurmountable obstacle, of working against yourself. Mars square Saturn in the natal chart Anyone who has Mars square Saturn [read more...]

New Moon in Scorpio 27 October 2019: Who You Want to Be

Scorpio season can force revelations on us that we seldom feel prepared for. These are soul declarations that disrupt our consciousness so completely that we must reshape around new beliefs about our self.
