art by Jessica Durant The New Moon offers an opportunity to wipe the slate clean and begin anew, and in Cancer we find ourselves discovering a depth of emotion that we may have ignored in the past: the heart of wisdom. Ruled by the Moon itself, Cancer rules the inner world – our […]

art by Phil Sadler Mars and Venus are very personal planets, and where we were in Mars territory last week, this week Venus is the star of the show. Mars desires and has needs which are obtained through demands, but Venus is more subtle – the desires are obtained through the sheer power […]

artist unknown? The influence of Venus is easily minimized because her transits are so fleeting, but if we remember that the predecessor of the Roman Venus was Inanna/Ishtar, the goddess of war and creation, we can see that her power is easily missed.

Over the past few days we’ve had a powerful compression of planets in fixed signs conflicting with each other.
