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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]
Moon Trine Saturn
Moon trine Saturn is a great balance of intuition and realism. The sensitive moon and severe Saturn do not usually make easy bedfellows, but the trine warms and soften things here nicely. The over-riding theme is the need to achieve so as to build personal security. Moon trine Saturn may have grown up with a critical or strict mother so they are used to keeping to a fixed timetable, getting all their homework done and deferring gratification.These folk have a very strong work ethic and the stamina and patience to see a job through to the bitter end no matter what obstacles confront them. Moon trine Saturn can be quite status hungry, this may come from a deep insecurity of whether they are truly talented or beautiful enough. The trine here does seem to attract wealth and they really don’t need to work half as hard as they think they do to get it either. Moon trine Saturn seems to exude trustworthiness and capability. You have the feeling they will look after your money responsibly since they tend to be thrifty. Moon trine Saturn are famous for their hoarding, they love nostalgia and can be big collectors.

Full Moon March 2013 – Flamboyant
The Full Moon on March 27 2013 by Darkstar Astrology at 6 º Libra. A dramatic and complex double yod, all those Christmas turkeys really will come home to roost! “Coming out theatrically, sorting out cases, running away to join the circus, acting things out, seeking solicitors “
Moon Conjunct Venus
Moon conjunct Venus is the grand-trifle-on-top-of-a-meringue aspect. This sugar fest doesn’t really have to do anything but just sit there looking luscious and wait for some Mars type to come and take a great bite out of it. Generally Moon conjunct Venus doesn’t really have to make too much effort to get the good life, attract good fortune and be at the right place at the right time. These people expect a life of luxury and abundance so they usually get it. BUT, and sometimes it’s a really big butt, all this passivity leaves these people wide open to being exploited and manipulated by the Svengalis of this world.One thing Moon conjunct Venus wants above all else is peace and love. They are hungry for affection and will comply to keep things as harmonious and pleasant as possible at all times. Many of them believe they are unlovable if, for example; they loose their temper, criticise their partner, put on weight, show their face without makeup, or anything else that is not aesthetically pleasing. At its best, Moon conjunct Venus makes fabulous artists, charming diplomats, interiors designers, party hostesses and chefs who make the most beautifully presented food. The ultimate […]
Aries Decan 3
Aries Decan 3 are ruled by Venus. The Sun trail blazes through the constellations of the Sea Monster, River, Goldfish, King, Fishes and Princess from April 10 – 20. Although we are in a fire sign you can see we have quite a nautical battle on our hands as Venus was the goddess of love and war in ancient times. So what we end up with is a raging sea and a tsunami of flaming emotions. Everything in this Aries decan 3 is played at epic proportions. It is also very sexual, since we know Jupiter was the biggest nymph chaser of them all. Aries decan 3 needs to make love not war, but if it can’t make love then the war can get very monstrous indeed. Nearly all of the stars in Aries decan 3 are given the attributes of Saturn, or Jupiter/Saturn. So here we get judgemental folk who sometimes take the law into their own hands. We can also find pirate types and vigilantes here. We have of course very ardent lovers here. None of the unrequited, yearning, courtly love of their neighbours Pisces, but full steam ahead passion. Aries decan 3, on its way to sensual […]
Aries Decan 2
Aries decan 2 is ruled by the Sun and it firmly leads the way through this decan from March 31 to April 9. This is where Aries gets regal, for here we have the King, the Princess, a Sea Monster, a Dragon and a Star Measurer. These people follow no leaders and work best as their own boss or bossing others. Aries decan 2 desperately want to shine and be respected for representing the top of their field, so they can be quite ruthless in pushing aside those who stand in the way of the ultimate throne. They also have a horror of being chained down to anything, needing absolute freedom to fly where they will. If you try to restrict them in any way, you will experience some of this decans flaming hot temper. The Furnace and the Sea Monster here can bring rages out of nowhere; usually triggered by someone trying to restrict their movement in some way. Controlling their whereabouts is a huge no-no. Try telling your teenage decan 2 ram she is grounded, if you want to witness an exploding oven. They will do anything, anything to escape, daring feats like breaking out of a second […]
