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 […]

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 […]
Pisces Decan 2
Pisces decan 2 are ruled by the Moon. They are the most slippery of the fishes, now you see them, now you don’t. The Sun slithers through this sultry zone from March 1 –10. This area houses Aquarius’s water, the male watersnake, Eridanus the river, the Phoenix, the Sculptor and the west fish of Pisces. These amphibious creatures are masters of disguise and can blend into any environment effortlessly. This decan is probably the most liquid area of Pisces, which means it also risks being the most toxic. These subjects are supremely absorbent of their environment, so can work positively or negatively. This placing would be great for a spy, but the most criminal and slimy of individuals could turn this great power into something quite nefarious. With this decan the evolutionary state of the soul is paramount, they can absorb toxins just as well as they can absorb love and bliss. Whatever the choice, they will just suck the juice out of it, so it better be good juice. Sometimes these people just don’t know who they are, so they are prone to being easily moulded and manipulated by those closest to them. Pisces decan 2 should therefore try […]

Pisces Decan 1
The sun glides like a gondola through romantic Pisces decan 1 from February 19 – 29. It’s easy to get very enchanted by this otherworldly zone of Aquarius, Pegasus, the Swan, the Southern fish and the Sculptor. It is the home of dreamy Fomalhaut (Archangel Gabriel), the rosey twinkle in the eye of the southern fish. It is also a very psychic area of the cosmos with 6 prophetic stars residing here. This zone is a bohemian artists dream, where one can catch the muses and write inspiring music, art and poetry. Here one can absorb and blend into the landscape and be receptive to the flow of inspiration from the collective. But oh so sensitive, there can be the problem of feeling other peoples pain. Pisces decan 1 are great empaths, but prone to self-medication when they take on too much of other peoples woes. In anesthetising themselves there can be alcohol or drug abuse. Enif in Pegasus has its head firmly stuck in the clouds. Like the preceding decan in Aquarius these subjects are visionaries. However in dreamy Pisces, they less likely to take steps to make these visions reality. The problem is that very often Pisces decan […]

Asteroid Cybele
Cybele is an earth mother goddess with a twist, she is a rather colourful character depicted as an exotic foreigner arriving on a chariot drawn by roaring loins and escorted by drunken, ecstatic revellers playing wild music.
Aquarius Decan 3
Aquarius decan 3 brings the confrontation of the old with the new, this is the most revolutionary and edgy decan of Aquarius. The Sun aligns with these stars from approximately February 9 to 18. This decan marry’s the swan’s unbridled imagination (and libido) with the transformative spiralling tail of the sea-goat. The tail is known as “The Gate Of Gods” which was said to be the portal of ascension back to heaven. Therefore this area is a departure gate, the last boundary between one dimension and another. Saturn rules both Aquarius and Capricorn and is the last planet one can see with the naked eye. It has no illusions and is plain speaking. This is Aquarius at its most scientific and sceptical, but at the same time is open to explore other realms, it just needs to test them out first. This testing is very marked in everything they do. Decan 3 Aquarians test limits, push boundaries and most of all test peoples patience! The goats influence here is at its most capricious and devilish, mainly because of the swan’s poetic influence. These are the flirty, Aquarians, the ones with a “horny” sex drive and seductive pan pipes! Remember the […]
