The solar eclipse May 10 2013 is at 19º Taurus on on fixed star Rucha on the knee of haughty Queen Cassiopeia. The chart is heavily weighted to the South Node which, depending on what astrological system you use, can be good karmic debt or plain bad shit. It is you see, the dragons arse. We also have Ceres opposite Pluto the god of dark tunnels.. It’s all looking a bit colonic. At the Ceres/Pluto conjunction in 2010 we had the Icelandic Volcanic Eruption and the Chile Mine Collapse. The volcano (Ceres) blocked business (Pluto) in Europe through flight cancellations and in Chile the 33 miners were buried 2 months underground! The theme was separation from families for the acquisition of wealth. Taurus decan 2 has strong family pride, sometimes so extreme that elevating the status of the clan can override the individual happiness of its members. With the volcanic eruption European airlines were accused of putting profits before peoples safety. The Solar Eclipse May 2013 chart is very spartan. No ease of trine, but a very emphatic crossing of batons, as if to say, “No entry, you’re not in the elite club, so push off!” This of course only makes us want to […]

Taurus Decan 3
Taurus decan 3 is ruled by Saturn. The sun twists and turns through the constellations of the Ram, the River, Perseus the hero, Queen Cassiopeia, Medusa’s head and some of the Pleiades from May 11 to 20. It is appropriate that the dark lord of time Saturn rules this decan since it houses the infamous star Algol. This part of Taurus houses bohemians and temperamental, artistic types. Decan 3 bovines are probably less set in their ways than the classic Taurus because of the influence of our dashing hero Perseus. They can be daring, but are still very much fixed in their determination to pursue their dream. Taurus decan 3 are extremely chivalrous, they have impeccable manners and a lot of class. Even the most low-down wretched expression of the breed will give off an aura of sophistication. Caught shamefully stumbling on the pavement after too much Algol-hol, they will still manage to wobble back onto their high hooves gracefully. Taurus decan 3 has great taste and appreciation of the aesthetic, managing to dress like a lord even if they can only afford to shop in charity shops. They are also incredibly thrifty like the rest of the sign and […]
Lunar Eclipse April 2013 – Spirit Matters
The Lunar eclipse April 25 2013 is at 5º Scorpio on fixed star Gacrux in the Crucifix. The Lunar eclipse forms the backbone of a heavenly Kite aspect pattern and trines both Ceres & Neptune. Constellation Crux “ is said to give perseverance, but many burdens, trials and responsibilities, together with much suffering and many hardships.” It was called the Southern Cross long before it was associated with Christianity. The constellation signifies guidance in general and it’s stars are often found in occultists and astrologers. It is the cross of matter, signifying the four directions in the horoscope, the Ascendant/Descendant axis crossing the Midheaven/IC axis. This is an important eclipse because this small, but potent constellation will be reactivated on November 1 when we get the final hit of Uranus square Pluto and soon after with the Solar Eclipse of November 3. The lunar eclipse usually brings endings and/or a culmination of a matter. This is so a new beginning can occur. Both lunar and solar eclipses are threshold points, birth and deaths. To me the lunar eclipse emphasises what you have to leave behind, so there is some melancholia about them. With solar eclipses you are so excited about your new start, you don’t even […]
Moon Square Neptune
Moon square Neptune is one of the most sensitive and compassionate aspects one can have, but sometimes its idealism can be misplaced, unrealistic and impractical. The subject’s day-to-day existence can be a struggle with the nebulous and surreal energy of Neptune. They may feel like they are forever walking through a Dali painting, checkerboard staircases tapering off in spirals, melting clocks… However this fantastical imagination works very well in show busniess since the square turns the fantasising into something concrete, the movies with all its glamour and melodramatic are just perfect for these individuals.The problem with this aspect though is finding the individual beneath the face paint and dry ice. In positions of power too, these subjects can easily use the Moons popularity and Neptune’s mystique as a smokescreen over corruption or abuse of position. Neptune can rule deception, lies and delusion, the risk is more so with the square. Therefore Moon square Neptune can have criminal tendencies in its very lowest vibration. Addictions, especially alcoholism are a very obvious danger with this aspect. The subjects are so very sensitive to the environment that self-medication can be the only way to numb the pain. The moon can fall victim to […]

Taurus Decan 2
Taurus decan 2 are ruled by the Moon. The Sun soldiers purposely on through the constellations of the River, the Queen, the Chained Princess, the Triangle, the Sea Monster and the Clock from May 1 to May 10. These bulls are tenacious and ambitious; they rise to the top through sheer determination, patience and stamina. Taurus decan 2 is mild mannered, an ace seducer and extremely persuasive. Taurus rules the throat so these folk can be powerful orators or singers. Their speech is a potent tool for propaganda and spin-doctoring. Being ruled by the Moon does make them popular, seeming to be the father or mother of the people. Politically these people give you the feeling they will take care of business and your life is safe in their responsible hands. Taurus decan 2 has a strong Ceres/Pluto undertone to it. These people can suffocate with love, literally smothering to death in the case of the most negative manifestation (Brady strangled his victims). The mix of charm and possessiveness can breed Svengali’s here. Their solid as a rock authority, status and respectability can attract naive and insecure Liza Doolittle’s who look up to them as a parent/mentor. These bulls can make […]
Taurus Decan 1
Taurus decan 1 is ruled by Mercury. The Sun steam rolls through constellations Aries, Cassiopeia, the Triangle, the River and the Goldfish from April 21 – 30. These can be the raging bulls of Taurus, with less of the usual placid, laid-back energy they are known for. Due to precession, this sector is totally dominated by the constellation of Aries. The influence of Queen Cassopeia is also very strong, even though the poor love was strapped upside down in her throne and hung far up in the poles for her boasting. There is aggressive energy here and Mercury ruling Taurus decan 1 also speeds things up considerably. These people are gifted orators and fight their battles with words. They are supreme propagandists. For them the pen really is mightier than the sword. Taurus decan 1 is the dictator zone. This is a bestial sign so their directing style might sometime lack grace or tact and their expression is frank and to the point. Taurus decan 1 are like primary school children, demanding and cute at the same time. Doe-eyed Bambi when asking for treats, then a fuming, silent tantrum if they don’t get their way. Taurus decan 1 can do […]
New Moon April 2013 – Fast Love
The New Moon April 2013 on the 10th is at 20º Aries in Baten Kaitos the sea monster’s belly. Wow this one is going to be fierce because the new Moon falls slap bang into a stellium containing Eris, Mars and Venus. What a flaming pile-up! To add to the orgy we have Asteroids Melpomene, the muse of tragedy and Asteroid Valentine. Yep, it’s Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.” Well, we know how melodramatic Aries decan 3 can be. Prepare for some very hammy actors and camp villains. Let’s do the time warp again… The full moon had us yearning to set sail for exotic destinations. For those that actually did run off and join the circus, the clowns may be starting to look like nightmare ghouls now the greasepaint has worn off. Venus was opposite the Moon then, far off in the mist and looking rather fetching. But now she is up close and personal! If we have been realistic in our plans, then it’s not going to be such a shock. However if we have had too much rum on our voyage then be prepared for a frightful revelation. It’s rather like when the bandages come off after a […]
Moon Trine Neptune
Moon trine Neptune must be one of the most romantic, poetic, idol-making aspect one can have. It’s not surprising that there are a few matinee idols listed below then. The unreality and glamour of film lends itself so well to the Moon and Neptune. The trine makes it even more fantastical, spectacular and out of this world. This is also an aspect found in artists and designers as it seeks to beautify and refine the world around it. The main thing with Moon trine Neptune is that it wants to merge with its surroundings. Their boundaries are so thin that they can feel the harshness of the 3D world a little too acutely. Sometimes they may feel the need to take the edge off with alcohol or drugs. Moon trine Neptune can become extremely devoted to their lover, but need to be careful their longing to merge doesn’t leave them with no sense of self whatsoever. They do best when they put this great devotion into an all-consuming passion, Ie; An artistic project, spiritual practice or best of all, working to transform the lives of the sick and needy. Moon trine Neptune wants to make things as perfect as possible, so perfect […]
Moon Opposite Mars
Moon Opposite Mars delivers a huge drive to succeed and the tendency to be competitive. The sexuality is a force to be reckoned and thrusts the subject like a rocket past all its rivals. They are, like all Moon Mars subjects, fiercely protective. Blood ties are extremely important to them and another spur for them to succeed. The opposition creates a dynamo of energy that needs expression in some physical action. If other factors in their chart place restrictions on this aspect then the frustration can become dangerous to others or self-destructive. At its worst the rage can turn very bitter and vindictive. On the whole though this is an extremely courageous combination and you would want to have this person fighting on your side. This aspect makes for very honest and direct dealings; their reactions are fast and instinctive. They are also fantastic in an emergency, sensing danger way before anyone else. Patience is not a strong point and they tend to want to start families very early in life because they have so much they want to achieve. They have very high aspirations so the earlier they can start the better, there’s so much they want to pack […]
