Astrology of October 2020: Retrograde Mercury opposed Uranus

The Astrology of October 2020 is a mixed bag and how it plays out for you will depend greatly on your natal placements.

On 17 December 2020 Saturn moved into the sign of Aquarius for the second time, after retrograding back into Capricorn at the beginning of July.

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.

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...]
