Breaking Barriers to Shine | Aquarius Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse, Mercury Retrograde

Aquarius Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse. Intense vibrations are unfolding as the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse rises in the heavens today, Monday August 7. What we have personally invested and planted for New Moon intentions (back on Sunday July 23), reach their peak. What has remained unknown, hidden in the dark and/or secretive; will be uncovered through the bold illumination […]

Astrology of Now: Calculated Action

The Queen, you may be aware, has had a cold. For the entire period of this Mercury Retrograde, her Majesty kept out of the public eye. She didn’t even make it to the Christmas church services — and that was for the first time in — well, forever. Yesterday, when Mercury went direct, she emerged, looking fully herself. Of course, the Mercury Rx took place in the Queen’s 12th House of purdah. Maybe it was the same for you, if you have Capricorn or Aquarius Rising. Anyway, it’s now time to step out of the shadows and get active. Take the […]

Astrology of Now: A Very Important Retrograde — Take It Personally

Mercury turns Rx on December 19 at 15° Capricorn. Meets the Sun on December 28 at 7° Capricorn. Turns direct on January 8 at 28° Sagittarius. Returns to 15° Capricorn on January 27. Squares Uranus on February 1. Leaves Capricorn on February 7. Please take a look at the previous post on this Mercury Retrograde, considering the idea of climbing the mountain — and meeting the Lord of the Mountain. Then ask yourself these questions. What effect — if any — has Pluto’s transit through Capricorn had on me so far?  Pluto entered Capricorn in January 2008. Pluto is a transforming […]

Astrology of Now: A Very Important Retrograde

Imagine you are walking up a mountain trail. You’re slowing down because the way is getting steeper, and rougher — and your sense of dread and unease grows with every step. A dark shadow looms on the path in front of you, filling you with dread. You turn tail and fly, tripping down the mountainside. In fact, as you stumble away, you realise you had dropped your map some way behind anyway and you start looking for it on the way down. As you walk, you find that your path looks quite different from this angle. You are able to see layers of […]

Mercury retrograde and David Cameron – Steve Judd (video)

Here is expert astrologer Steve Judd giving us a Mercury retrograde 2016 view from Britain:

~:~

A brief bio and a view of the natal horoscope of British PM David Cameron (of the tin ear!) shows his Sun @15Libra, Moon @6Leo, and Ascendant @1Libra, as Steve mentions. Interesting that Mr. Cameron has a Scorpio Mercury squaring Jupiter–one planet ruling communications and thinking processes

SOTU 2016: Achievements plus Realism

January 12, 2016: Tonight as President Obama delivers the final State of the Union Address to a Joint Session of Congress (9:00 pm est Capitol Building) the degree of the Pre-Natal Eclipse of the November 8, 2016 Election/s rises @9Virgo (September 1, 2016). This denotes a speech that in some way will touch on the themes of the eclipse in the 19 North Saros Series which are: ‘realism, coming

Astrology of Now: Focus and Healing

It’s an extraordinary — and rather difficult — start to 2016. But amidst the tumultuous energies there are some strong positives. Here’s the gen. Mercury is retrograde in Aquarius, then from January 8th, in Capricorn . The time calls for rethinking and practical reassessment. Mars is in Scorpio, his own sign. The planet of physical energy, libido and aggression, is especially strong here. The quality of Mars in Scorpio is active focus. This is about cutting out the cancers, honing in on what’s necessary. You can see it might work well with Mercury Retrograde. Check where Mars will be in your own chart. It’s […]

Mercury Rx: Indexing

I am re-indexing this website during this Mercury Retrograde. Apparently it wasn’t done properly when we switched over from Blogger last year, so not all the posts are searchable (or should that really be findable). It seems like appropriate action to take when the god of communications is going backwards in the sign of wordsmithery. At the same time, I’m re-reading a lot of old posts and sending some of the choice ones out to subscribers. If you want to catch these, you can subscribe by email in the box on the right. It’s free and when I start doing […]
