  • Sun in Aquarius sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius (18 deg)

  • Mercury in Aquarius sextile Mars in Aries (25 deg)

  • Uranus in Aries opposite Pallas in Libra (29 deg)

Sun/Jupiter delivers buoyant energy that encourages you to have faith in something unique (including yourself). It’s ok to stand out, be yourself or take a risk, and judgements should be almost non-existent. Aquarius is very open-minded and Jupiter (in positive aspect) is all about benevolence.

Mercury/Mars adds to the above with assertive but not pushy words. The harmony of the sextile adds Mars’ aggressiveness in a manageable way, encouraging outspoken information that is delivered in an acceptable manner. Combined with Sun/Jupiter, today’s influences favour exploration, the communication of fresh ideas standing up for yourself with easy confidence.

However, Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) opposite Pallas does suggest that liberating moves will trigger some imbalances. Pallas in Libra’s polite social strategies will be upended, or even abruptly abandoned. Not a deal-breaker, but consider if any relationship plans, compromises or solutions have outlived their usefulness.

Note that this opposition (a culmination) takes places at 29 degrees (the final degree). This strongly points to the end of a social issue – you may be liberated or surprised, but either way there’s no going back. If this makes you uneasy, know that Jupiter’s influence suggests that this is a good thing.

Aquarius New Moon: Picture It

Picture It… You are on a veranda overlooking the sea. White billowy curtains blow in the sea breeze, framing a gorgeous seascape. In front of you, palms sway on a white sand beach as you drink in the glimmering emerald-turquoise water with your eyes. Walking over to a divan, you feel the cool marble floor beneath […]

Happy Chinese New Year!

by  • 

This is my piece for upcoming issue of Infinity Astrology Magazine.  I’m writing this from a high-rise in the centre of Hong Kong, overlooking the dancing lights of Kowloon, which reflect and refract in the waters of the straits. It’s been quite a week here because we’re in the run up to Chinese New Year.  It’s the Year of the Pig — and swine are being celebrated all over town. I’ve eaten rice buns decorated with pink ears and snout, window-shopped at Gucci and Chloe for porcine handbags, not to mention piggy jewellery, hairbands, slippers, knickers and baseball caps. Flying pigs, […]

February 4th, 2019: Mercury Conjunct Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius

  • Mercury in Aquarius conjunct Black Moon Lilith (20 deg)

Emphasizing the disruptive message of today’s New Moon , Mercury/BML gives Lilith a voice. The energy is clear, truthful and detached – you can step back from Lilith’s anger (at being an outsider) and simply observe the eye-opening facts about this situation.

A bit of detachment can help immensely when delivering BML’s message. She can be so dark (especially when dealing with rejection or women’s victimization) that what comes out is raw and full of rage: a howl. No one hears the message because they’re too frightened or repelled. And this can include you if you’re glimpsing a part of yourself that you’d rather not see.

But under this influence there’s absolute clarity and just enough chill that her realizations/words will make a direct hit. What you learn or communicate may not be pretty, but it will be the truth and it will be liberating.

Mercury/BML says that you don’t have to follow anyone’s rules but your own. But, you also need to take an unblinking look at your darker impulses (jealousy, rage, revenge). Remember that Lilith was exiled from the Garden – she’s powerful but part of her energy comes from anger at being rejected. Today may help you come to terms with being on the outside, in some way.

January 29th, 2019: A Flash of Clarity

  • Sun conjunct Mercury in Aquarius (9 deg)

  • Mars in Aries sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (19 deg)

  • Uranus in Aries sextile Vesta in Aquarius (28 deg)

The Sun/Mercury conjunction is a “Full Moon” phase in the Sun/Mercury cycle – a superior conjunction that delivers an answer or result. In Aquarius, we can expect it to be surprising, clear and possibly disruptive. A light will be shone on all matters involving the collective and your relationship to society.

The last Sun/Mercury conjunction occurred on November 27th, 2018 at 5 deg Sagittarius, when Mercury was Rx. This was an inferior conjunction- the “New Moon” part of the cycle and a new beginning. What was introduced at that time may be connected to the results you see today.

The Mars/BML sextile is a harmonious blend of male energy (Mars) and the dangerous, rebellious woman. She is energized by Mars, which could mean she uses male energy/sexual energy to her advantage. Or, she uses conflict and anger to power her forward (smoothly), drawing the collective’s attention to her taboo issues. Uranus adds oomph to Vesta’s focus on independence and liberation- Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) adds gentle encouragement to the devotion of whatever’s on the outside.

Combined with Sun/Mercury, today’s influences all favour the outsider, the rebel or the detached observer. Today is an excellent day to gain clarity and perspective on a difficult issue because emotions will be less pronounced than logic. Stepping outside the lines is a possibility, with innovative flashes and surges of quirky or shocking energy.
