Astrology of Now: Jupiter in Virgo, Saturn in Sagittarius, Neptune in Pisces

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 […]

Astrology of Now: Ready To Catch The Wave

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 […]

Astrology of Now: Love Subdues Anger

“Love is the one thing stronger than desire and the only proper reason to resist temptation.” ― Jeanette Winterson, Venus and Mars in Virgo “The kiss itself is immortal.

Men and women garner these kisses, offer them to others and then die in turn.” ― Guy de Maupassant, Venus and Mars conjunction in Virgo Venus Peace Love Harmony Beauty Seduction “There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche — Mars and Venus in Virgo Mars Energy War Blood Lust Anger Tomorrow, […]

Maggie Smith: Capricorn Rules

We are well behind the curve in this household — just catching up on Downton Abbey. Love the frocks and the tableware, but mainly loving Maggie Smith, who is absolutely electric as the septuagenarian Dowager Countess. That means his lordship’s mum. So I wondered if there were a bit of the old sea-goat in her chart. What they say about Capricorn is that if you make it past your early 40s — unlike say Elvis — then you’re likely to go on and on and on. What is more you’re old when you’re young, and young when you’re old. Dame Maggie (for […]

Divided by Pluto: Virgo through Capricorn

I started writing about Pluto generations with the intention of keeping these summaries short and letting the pictures tell part of the story. These were meant to be ready references to spark off ideas. Then the subject ballooned out of control, and I had to stop for a bit. Now I’ve cut back and again and decided to publish these summaries and return to writing about the generations in greater detail later. Just to reiterate. There are a couple of interesting periods to look for each generation: when they come of age in their 20s and when they come to […]

Lunar Etiquette

This New Moon in Libra (18°) is exactly opposite the planet of explosive opportunity, Uranus. Some of us will be sprinting out of the blocks tomorrow into the next big adventure. Use this energy wisely because we have help from both optimistic Jupiter in Virgo and ruthless Pluto in Capricorn. These two are co-operating beautifully, intent on making some big idea manifest. Earth signs especially benefit from Jupiter and Pluto. Cardinal signs especially benefit from the Uranian intervention. Manners makyth man is the motto of New College — one of the oldest colleges here. What it means is: however high or low your birth, fat […]

Astrology of Now: Equinox, Public Humiliation and Mercury Rx

I’m writing this just as the Sun approaches the celestial equator. It is the equinox, when night and day are perfectly balanced. We enter the sign of Libra today, which this year is already hosting Mercury’s retrograde. Libra is one of the four cardinal signs that open the seasons – Aries (spring), Cancer (summer), Libra (autumn) and Capricorn (winter), or the reverse if you are in the Southern hemisphere. Libra is the sign of balance, of equal measures, of the other, a contrast to the one-pointedness of its opposite Aries. Maybe it’s useful now to think about how the whole Zodiac balances and rebalances […]
