July Horoscopes

It’s quite a month ahead. The god of war and fire, Mars, has been clanking through Cancer, the sign of home and mother, patriotism and tribe, since June 5, making his way towards an inevitable confrontation with Pluto on July 2. These two gods of war clash every couple of years in fact, so it’s not such an unusual face-off. Yet it’s clear this year, that this is an especially potent opposition.  It’s tense and emotional. That opposition is further stimulated by the Full Moon on July 9. A week later, Mars takes a final hostile sideswipe at Uranus before […]

June Horoscopes

Suddenly it looks like the planets are starting to make more sense. Jupiter turns direct after months of sleeping on the job. Neptune, that old illusionist, retires for a well-earned rest for a few months in mid-June. Could we begin to see a little more clearly? Could optimism come back into fashion? Will people start being nice to each other again? Click here for your June horoscope. This month it includes a 12-page supplement on the North and South Nodes of the Moon, which have just changed signs. The download button is at the end of each article.

May Monthly Horoscopes

I write this, the day before May Day. Tonight is Walpurgis Nacht or Beltane, one of the four festivals that mark the most intense point of a season, and which take place at the four fixed signs of the Zodiac — Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. Now, spring is springiest. I glance out at my garden filled with flowers: pink-tipped apple, white pear, white and purple lilac, some late japanese quince, a strange rust colour; my neighbour’s glorious pink and white beauty bush, acid green euphorbia, and a lone, magenta rose. We are deep in the world of earthy, Venus-ruled Taurus, the sign of gardeners and farmers, the sign […]

April Horoscopes

It’s a very complicated picture this month, but things do slow down a lot — and about time too. It’s important to note that from April 9 to 24, Venus will be between just two degrees of Pisces, 26° and 28°. This intense focus from the goddess of love and luck is unusual and will touch you directly if you have any planets around these degrees in water signs, Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio, earth signs, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn — or Sagittarius and Gemini. It seems as she will be especially supportive during an otherwise potentially fraught week as the […]

Dancing for Myself | Venus RX, Mars enters Taurus, Virgo Full Moon

As we move through the recent dust storm from the solar eclipse, an opportunity exists this week… to quietly observe the tattered remains of our surroundings. As old growth is rejuvenated, freshly planted seeds also begin to sprout; creating a fresh perspective for new starts with the complimentary aspects between Sun (ego), Mercury (thoughts, communications) and Pluto (transformation). Venus Retrograde. As we […]

March Horoscopes

It’s another mad sprint this month, with the energy from the end of February spilling over into the first week of March. One planet, however, turns her back on the fray and takes a time out. Venus will be retrograde from March 4 for 40 days. For each of us, this will work differently, but it does feel like a wise pause on the part of the goddess of love, grace and laughter. She turns back just before walking into the running battle between Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto that is taking place in the sky this spring. That battle is back on fire […]

February Horoscopes

As you might expect February is roaring in, breathing fire and brimstone. Mars, the planet of war, aggression and action, is in his own sign Aries — and he seems to be in fighting mode. He’ll be arguing with Pluto and then running slap into electrical Uranus on February 27. This is not a good day to jump into your jalopy and hit the road, by the way. It looks like something is going to blow. This combustible atmosphere starts right from the beginning of the month and just builds. The last 10 days are especially fraught. Meanwhile, Venus is also in […]
