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.

With Mercury in Aquarius since Sunday 14 February you may have noticed a subtle shift in your thinking and communication style. Being an air sign Mercury functions well in Aquarius.

Venus conjunct Pluto: focus on healing relationships

Venus conjunct Pluto provides an excellent opportunity to work on relationship issues, particularly with twin supportive sextiles to Chiron and Mars.

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...]

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...]

Venus in Scorpio: into the deep
