In the Key of Sagittarius: Benjamin Clementine

by  • 

Although he was born on December 7, 1988, Benjamin Clementine sounds like he’s lived for a thousand years. Wow. Here is his chart. Sadly no birth time. But I think you can hear that Sagittarian freedom and wildness in the way he unleashes his voice. And the generation with Neptune in Capricorn is really able to plumb musical soul-depths. His lyric writing also bursts out of bounds. I suppose “genius” is quite a Sagittarian word. Clementine is certainly someone who breaks mental boundaries — another Sagittarian speciality It’s been noted by astrologer John Etherington that around 15° Sagittarius-Gemini crops up […]

December 7th, 2018: Flow

by  •

  • Mercury in Scorpio trine the Cancer North Node (27 deg)

  • Mars conjunct Neptune in Pisces (27 deg)

Mercury/North Node continues the flow of the Grand Water Trine that’s been in force since December 2nd. Mercury Rx previously trined the North Node on December 4th, and this second hit could manifest as a confirmation of what you’ve been questioning/investigating/contemplating. Watch for a messenger (in the guise of a person, clue or internal realization) to confirm that you’re on the right path as the dots connect easily and instinctively. Profound truths align with emotional progress – the deeper you look, the more progress you’ll make.

Continuing the energy of flow, the Mars/Neptune conjunction indicates a new beginning with actions (Mars) that transcend limits, reality or boundaries. Neptune eases the passage by dissolving barriers, so you can slide into something new or slip past defences. The dream (Neptune) is energized (Mars) and actions can be sacred (as you reach towards a higher power) or undermining (as you wander down the path of addiction or avoidance).

Watch where you step – motivations can be blurry. The situation can waver and go either way. What do you want to accomplish?

This conjunction is a crucial part of the Sagittarius New Moon.

Sagittarius New Moon: Shift Your Holiday Energy

by  • 

Every year around mid-November, it begins. It creeps upon me so slowly that I don’t even realize it’s happening. Like a frog being boiled alive in water, the temperature increasing ever so slightly. Holiday energy. Buzziness, wanting to jump out of my skin, the feeling that I should be doing something, waking up at night […]

December 6th, 2018: Mercury Direct

  • Mercury stations direct (27 deg Scorpio at 4:21 PM EST)

Mercury concludes its retrograde this afternoon, moving ahead and signalling progress in all matters of communication and information. Rx since November 16th, Mercury direct will reactivate 27 to 29 deg Scorpio and 0 to 13 deg Sagittarius. This reactivation (also known as the shadow period) will take you to December 24th, so you may still be discussing the same issues or looking (again) at the same truths/lies.

But Mercury is direct now, and that counts for something. There should be clarification. You can be confident that the repeat issue you’ve been chewing on is winding down.

Mercury direct in Scorpio will ask you to move forward with what you’ve dug up (secrets, taboos, the things no one else wanted to confront) and Mercury direct in Sag will ask you to take it further- expand on it, look at the bigger possibilities, apply what you’ve learned to the promise or story. Does the ideal still hold up now that you’ve done your research or glimpsed the underside?

Mercury direct may start off quietly, because it’s still in dark, private Scorpio (Scorpio’s power comes from holding back until the right moment). There may be whispers or unspoken confirmations – a pause before the strategic reveal. Once Mercury makes a jarring inconjunct to Uranus Rx in Aries on December 11th and re-enters Sagittarius on December 12th, things could get louder.
