Astrology of Now: Big Love

by  • 

The spectacular meeting tomorrow morning at 7am British Summer Time between Venus the goddess of love and Jupiter, the king of the gods is not just any old conjunction. These two will be so close, according to NASA, that they may look like one superstar. It only happens once every 2000 years or so. For those of you who read the Out of Bounds piece here, they are at the same declination as well as conjunct by degree. Astrologically, this is the two great “benefics” of the Zodiac joining together to commit good in regal, generous Leo style. It’s an […]

Out Of Bounds

by  • 

My colleague Jessica Shephard wrote a short piece about Venus Out Of Bounds a few weeks ago which set me thinking. Out of bounds planets are not something that’s not much discussed by astrologers. We’re all too busy getting our minds around cute new asteroids, imaginary dark points and multiple techniques for progressing a chart, not to mention what house system to use. (I plead guilty, m’lud) However, the idea of “out of bounds” is so simple, so obviously important — and so easy to look up — that I am amazed we don’t check this as a matter of […]

Books: Karmic Mates & Venus Signs

by  • 

You could say that the promise of romance keeps astrologers in work. Getting your love right — and that might mean lifelong celibacy, a series of mad flings or a nice, cosy 40-year marriage — is one of the cornerstones of living the “good” life. And creating that good life is the reason we study astrology. I was reminded of this when reading Jessica Shepherd’s books Karmic Mates and Venus Signs, both of which are essential reading for the love-struck, the love-ravaged or the lovelorn. If you have a strong Venus in your chart, you really do need to let her strut […]

Venus in Cancer: As Beautiful As The Moon

by  • 

In Arabic, Egyptian Arabic anyway, when you want to describe someone as really beautiful, you say she is like the Moon, or she has a face like the Moon. (How unlike “moonface” in English). When Venus is in the sign of the Moon, two of the most feminine energies in astrology are blended; these energies lure you in. It’s notable that currently two of the world’s “most beautiful women” not only share Venus in Cancer, but for each of them, the planet of beauty is placed exactly on an angle of the chart. As you know, the purpose of these […]

Tie it Up…

One I prepared earlier… The other night on Masterchef, the contestants had to prepare a meal that brought to life, through more senses than taste, a memory. One of the most emotionally controlled of the contestants, Emilia, had a meltdown.…

Appreciation Through Compassion and Care, Venus enters Cancer

by  • 

Venus enters Cancer. Venus will move from unattainable Gemini on Thursday May 7, and enter the compassionate, loving waters of Cancer. In this slippery shift during the next four weeks, our values will begin to change. What matters most; like principles, standards, love, relationships and money will slowly reshape.. morphing into something that is a bit more sensitive, personable and supportive. […]
