Currrent transits

Mercury in Aries: say it like it is (but try to be gentle)

With Mercury in Aries there isn’t much beating around the bush when it comes to putting our point across. In fact if you’ve been biding your time, waiting for the right words and the right moment to say what needs to be said then you may find that caution goes out the window now. Aries is not known for tact or diplomacy and [read more...]

The much anticipated lunar eclipse in Libra will occur on 23 March, followed closely by the beginning of the 2016 retrograde Saturn cycle on the 25th.

Sun square Saturn with a side of chaos and mayhem

The Sun is currently square Pluto and Jupiter and will square Saturn on 21 April. This is a very uncomfortable energy denoting excess, proselytizing, power struggle and obstacles.

Mars in Sagittarius: a galloping archer on a beach

With Mars in Sagittarius from Monday 7 March our physical energy and drive will get a real boost.

Moon square Saturn and trine Pluto: emotional restraint

With Moon square Saturn exact on 23 February and a trine with Pluto currently perfecting there may be some very strong feelings that feel somehow difficult to express.

Mars sextile Jupiter is exact on Sunday 14 February but will be in effect from Tuesday 9 until Friday 19 February.

Venus conjunct Pluto: focus on healing relationships

Venus conjunct Pluto provides an excellent opportunity to focus on relationship issues, as it’s all about going into the deep end with another. Intimacy, deep and meaningful conversations and hot sex are all favoured. The intensity of this transit is enhanced by the fact that it occurs on the same day as the Full Moon in Leo. Venus [read more...]

Venus trine Uranus: someone you meet could change your life

I love the energy of Venus trine Uranus. Under its influence you will be open to exploring areas of your relationships that you might never be willing to touch otherwise. This is an energy with the potential to unblock gridlocked power struggles, reveal new paths that will take the two of you forward and liven up stale or stagnant [read more...]

Mars in Scorpio: the art of getting what you want

Everyone wants something and during Mars in Scorpio we may be willing to sacrifice a lot more than usual to get it.

Sun square Jupiter: avoid getting carried away

As the t-square between Mars, Uranus and Pluto wanes over the next two days, a new tension has now emerged, although this is of a different and, to my mind, far more manageable kind. Sun square Jupiter can make us a little excessive and there will be a tendency to overdo things, however it can also bring unexpected, and at first [read more...]

Mars square Pluto: struggle is optional

The week leading up to 23 December may be a difficult time for some people out there.
