An excess of Saturn makes for a chilling sort of social Darwinist view of life, where only the toughest deserve to survive. And too much Neptune makes it impossible to accomplish anything worthwhile, because you’re preoccupied with avoiding painful reality and keep forgetting to pay the electric bill. But here’s the good news: we’re people, not planets….

Saturn/Neptune square, Full Moon. Confusion and doubt continues to seep into this busy holiday week with a heightened influence from the Saturn/Neptune square, and a Full Moon on Thursday November 26. As direction blurs, persistence seems to weaken. What we’ve been building and creating attachments with, may not sem worthwhile or make much sense anymore. Due to a high volume of […]
With Jupiter’s move into Virgo this summer, and Saturn’s move into Sagittarius, we are seeing a shift of emphasis into the mutable signs. Neptune and Chiron, also both slow-moving, are already in Pisces. This creates a T-square pattern — at least by sign if not by exact degree. The strongest part of this pattern is a right-angle or square aspect between Saturn and Neptune. This becomes exact on November 26, and then in June and September next year. Meanwhile, Jupiter in Virgo will also square Saturn next spring. This means this T-square will never lock into an exact aspect, but Saturn […]

Neptune Direct. In the past five months during Neptune Retrograde, there was an opportunity to be more in touch with our perception; to understand how it has (or has not) worked for us, and our reality (Saturn). During this period, we’ve slowly drifted away from the fantasy, illusions and personal assumptions. As life and/or relationships started to become more crystal clear, a sense […]
Neptune goes direct November 18, 16.30GMT. 7’01 Pisces Salt water is sucked backwards over the shingle, and you are pulled over loose sand and pebbles. You can see the shore, but the wave drags you away. The energy is concentrated, focused in the belly of the wave. Then it seems to stand still and grow taller. A moment later it’s crashing, rushing forward to the beach with froth and roar. Neptune, the great god of the sea, has been quietly retrograde since June 12. He moves very slowly. He’s gone back all of two degrees. But this slowness has focused the […]

My grandparents had stacks of yellow-edged National Geographics in the basement of their house, some dating from the days before photographs were on the front cover. On rainy days in summer or awkward Christmas holidays, I escaped down there, opened those shiny covers and travelled the world. I guess it was like that for a lot of people. The magazine was like an old friend, something we took for granted. It would always be yellow, the pictures would always be great, and the world it told us about would always be awesome. Until last month the magazine was not for profit, which explains perhaps […]

Oct 12, 2015 New Moon: Planting Seeds!
Tonight’s 19-degree Libra New Moon perfects at 8:06 pm edt with Libra’s typical ‘fair vs unfair’, diplomatic gestures, relationship issues, and intention-setting attached. Here’s astrologer Patricia expressing her helpful insights concerning this evening’s Libra lunation which leads to the Taurus Full Moon of October 27, both ruled by evaluating Venus, the
Neptune is currently transiting through the sign it resonates most strongly to (and along with Jupiter, rules), making it as …
Dr Elaine Aron’s book The Highly Sensitive Person validates something astrologers have always known — some people are more sensitive than others. Dr Aron puts this figure at about 20% of the population. In other words, it’s perfectly normal, but sensitivity is not always valued by our culture. Here are four important characteristics of the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). Depth of processing. HSPs tend to ponder deeply, but there are broadly two types: those who are interested in everything, and those who focus keenly on just a couple of things. Over aroused (easily compared to others). This can be a big problem […]
