Sun square Saturn triggers Jupiter Chiron opposition: find balance

In the last few days Sun square Saturn has triggered something inside me. I’ve been feeling the Chiron / Jupiter opposition for some time; with Jupiter activating the Virgo North Node by conjunction I’ve been heavily focused on getting the practical details of my life in order and yet I’ve had this nagging feeling that [read more...]

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.

Mercury in Aquarius: systems thinking may neglect the individual

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. But beware the ongoing Pluto-Uranus square which could high jack all your good intentions and have you reacting with counter-productive volatility and rebellion! Effective from 4 February, [read more...]

Venus in Capricorn as Mercury activates Uranus-Pluto square

Venus moved into cool as a cucumber Capricorn on Sunday and this will be a definite calming energy as Mercury conjoins Pluto and triggers the very-much-still-active Uranus-Pluto square. This is a volatile combination that may have you speaking a little more harshly than you might otherwise, perhaps even getting caught up in verbal [read more...]

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.

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.

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...]
