Currrent transits

Sun in Aquarius: time to manifest a new reality

With the Sun in Aquarius for the coming month there’s a real opportunity to manifest something new and innovative in our lives and in the world around us. The Sun entered Aquarius on 20 January 2016 where it remains until 20 February when it moves into Pisces. This is a great time to initiate a new social enterprise or any kind of [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. Due to retrograde motion Mars in Scorpio will last almost seven months from 3 January to 3 August 2016. Mars enters Sagittarius on 7 March, then retrogrades and returns to Scorpio on 28 May, remaining there until 3 August. [read more...]

Mercury square Mars: active mind, impulsive action

Mercury square Mars is a volatile aspect that can spur us into action, stir up fiery arguments out of the blue or send our minds racing wildly. Exact on 30 December it has been in affect since Christmas day and, due to Mercury turning retrograde, will last until 9 January. During Mercury square Mars our minds are likely to be very active [read more...]

Mercury trine Jupiter: open your mind

Mercury trine Jupiter is a fast moving transit that nevertheless has a powerful impact if you happen to be affected by it personally. During this time you’re likely to be more open to other ways of looking at things, new solutions to old problems will pop into mind unexpectedly and there will be an increased desire to learn and to [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...]

Mars square Pluto: struggle is optional

It may be a difficult day for some people out there. Transiting Mars square Pluto is coming into exact aspect today and within a few days will also oppose Uranus, creating a t-square with the wide square between Uranus and Pluto. This is creating some very volatile but frustrated energy that is likely to have you feeling somewhat at odds [read more...]

Venus in Scorpio: into the deep

I don’t know about you but I’m exhausted! Whether this is wholly due to Saturn square Neptune, exact on 26 November, is another question, although with the Sun conjunct Saturn and square Neptune right now it’s quite likely. Suffice to say that this week’s astro insight, featuring Venus in Scorpio, will probably be [read more...]

Saturn square Neptune: sweet illusion meets cold hard reality

Saturn square Neptune is upon us. If you’re affected strongly by this transit it’s likely something you’ve put a lot of time and energy into building is now dissolving right before your eyes, something you’ve come to rely heavily upon now seems to have no substance at all, or perhaps a belief or philosophy you [read more...]

Venus square Pluto: beware of overpowering others

The transit to watch out for this week is the brief but potent Venus square Pluto, which could really pack a punch in the relationship department, particularly if your natal planets or points are triggered. Exact on 21 November Venus square Pluto is active from 18 to 24 November. Venus is in her rulership in Libra, a placement that bodes [read more...]

Mars Venus conjunction: integrating masculine and feminine

The Mars Venus conjunction comes into orb again from 30 October to 5 November and this time I’ve been thinking about the inner masculine and feminine, the yin and yang within, or what Jung calls the anima and the animus. With both Venus and Mars conjunct Jupiter this is a great time for opening up to a more balanced way of [read more...]

Venus trine Pluto and a triple conjunction: all power to you!

Bringing passion to relationships is what Venus and Pluto do best and Venus trine Pluto brings passion of the best kind. With Venus in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn this is a deep, earthy passion that puts me in mind of sexy outdoor liaisons. It’s also not the kind of energy that’s flippant or superficial; both Capricorn and [read more...]

Venus square Saturn: reach out to someone you love

Don’t you love the pic for this weeks update? I think it represents Venus square Saturn so well: that feeling of wanting to reach out to someone but being stuck inside yourself, unable to express your affection or ask for support. Wouldn’t it be lovely if we could let go of our self-doubt and inhibitions and reach out freely [read more...]

Jupiter trine Pluto: the magic of ambition and synchronicity

On the 11 October Jupiter trine Pluto will give us a powerful boost of energy. This energy is already in affect and will last from 27 September to 29 October. With Jupiter at 13 degrees Virgo and Pluto direct again at 13 degrees Capricorn, this is a very earthy energy that is perfect for manifesting something very concrete at the [read more...]

Jupiter opposition Neptune: what is truth?

Jupiter opposition Neptune is the major transiting aspect for September, affecting us on both the personal and societal levels. Exact on 17 September this transit will last all month and, if it touches one of your personal planets or points, could have a major impact on your religious and/or philosophical beliefs. With Jupiter now at 9 [read more...]
