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. Some can go […]

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 […]
New Moon March 11 – Starry Eyed
The New Moon on March 11 2013 by Darkstar Astrology at 21º Pisces. The sap is rising, so many personal planets are grouped in the womb of Pisces and rampant Mars is butting at the gate of Aries, ready to charge into springtime.
Aries Decan 1
Aries decan 1 is ruled by Mars. They are the new born babies of the zodiac coming out into the world kicking, screaming and bawling their eyes out. The Sun struts it’s way through constellation Pegasus, the Sea Monster, the Lizard, the Pendulum clock and the King from March 21 – 29. These impulsive souls try everything at once and grab with both hands. They want it all and they want it now. Of course they do, they are the start of a brand new cycle. Everything is fresh, new, shiny and bouncy. These people are natural leaders, warriors, front line fighters and trail blazers. They have to be the first, best, biggest and bling-est. Gone is the water and the empathy of the previous decan, these folk are so sharply focused on their goals they find it very hard to see their peers right next to them. That is, until one one should try and overtake them, then it’s “Outta my way!!” Yes, road rage was probably first invented by a flamehead on a flying horse. “To boldly go” is their motto. Jump first and think later, this is why these subjects gain the reputation of scandals, accidents and rash decisions. Pegasus’s […]
Moon Opposite Uranus
Moon opposite Uranus is going to cause a stir wherever you find it. The electric and volatile energy of Uranus seems to become even more unstable than usual in opposition. The polarity creates wild mood swings and the feel of a loose canon. It is sad to see that three accidents/assassinations are in the list of the famous and all of them caused a huge public outpouring of emotion whether it be anger, shock or deep mourning. The revolutionary energy of Uranus though, means that after the lightening bolt has struck, things are never the same again. The subject may have grown up in a very progressive atmosphere or one where roots were very hard to put down because of constant change. Or they may have felt on the fringes of society so that they never really fit in where every they are. So however they live in their adult lives, subconsciously they always feel like something is about to flip out, so they are ready to jump ship very quickly. Moon opposite Uranus may find it hard to believe that they can really relax and are quite “jumpy” in their demeanour. However these subjects actually thrive very well on […]
Constellations – Near & Far
How to use fixed stars and their constellations in Astrology. Marina E Partridge looks at the history of the use of fixed stars, and discusses Ptolemy’s ecliptic method of using the stars by longitude degree versus visual astrology’s use of Parans.
Pisces Decan 3
Pisces Decan 3 are ruled by Mars & Pluto This is the zone of the impossible, for here we have aeronautical fishes! The sun flies through this decan from March 11 – 20. This zone is totally dominated by the visionary, high-flying, mythical horse Pegasus, with a lizard, a swan and a star measurer. We get the feeling that this Piscean water is simmering, about to boil over as it makes its way to the new life born on the spring equinox at 0º Aries. This zone is bursting with anticipation for the future and impatient because its like these subjects have been cocooned for so long. Pisces decan 3 can make calamitous mistakes by over-reaching themselves. These eager foals need to remember that half-baked ideas do not go down well, and hold back until their plans are fully developed. The later end of the decan, especially those on the anaretic 29º are natural daredevils and aim high in all things. They are prone to accidents due to their impulsive natures, but are very “gung ho” about it and get back in the saddle as soon as they can. These fishes are often confused as to why they are such […]
