As the Sun moves into Pisces today he now brings a spotlight to themes that Venus highlighted much of last month, and now Mercury is re-treading over. Pisces is a water sign, and I always associate it with flood waters, the water that spreads out over everything, getting into every nook and cranny, knowing no...
I always think of a steam train with Mars in Capricorn – the heat, noise and strength of a huge metal object flying along its tracks. When they were first created, they could transport people, animals and goods from one place to another at speeds never seen before in human history. The heat of Mars...
The astrology of the Leo Full Moon 9 February 2020 – 2.33am New York, 8.33am London, 5.33pm Brisbane I came across a story last year about Simone Biles, the 22 yo US gymnast who has won 5 world titles and made the record books for the most medals won by a gymnast ever. Critics had...
We are in unprecedented times, in uncharted waters. You only have to look at news all over the world to see that. Often we fear the unknown and struggle back to what is familiar and yet the known keeps us stuck in the past, away from new possibilities. When we get down to basics, really...
As Venus now draws us into the world of Pisces she draws our attention to the whimsical and imaginative. As a child, I loved reading fairytales, drawn in by the fantastical tales of magic, hope and often love. So this placement often takes me back to that time, hours spent happily reading alone, wrapped in...
Lunar Eclipse at 22 deg Cancer – Brisbane 5.15am Saturday 11 January, London Friday 10 January 7.21am, New York Friday 10 January 2.21pm. Most Australian and English children will know the Bear Hunt song and its original book by Michael Rosen, describing an intrepid group of explorers that head out into the “wild” to catch a bear, only...
Each year as the Sun moves into Capricorn it marks the December Solstice (sol = sun, stiti = to stop), where the sun stands still as it reaches the most southern point of its yearly voyage, the Tropic of Capricorn. Know that sweet moment on a swing where you reach the highest part and pause...
This Full Moon in the Peter Pan sign of Gemini is all about light-hearted fun, perfectly positioned for this time of year. What lights you up? How do you let your hair down? What does your inner child crave? Get ready to try that and more as the Moon moves towards Full on Thursday (3.12m...
I do love Scorpio season, and not just because it contains my birthday. Being a fixed sign, it’s the fullness of spring here, with an abundance of colour all around us and the warmth of spring is strongly felt. I know in the Northern Hemisphere the colours come from the autumn leaves dressing the trees...
The Sun moves into Virgo tomorrow and it’s the official start of Virgo season. All the personal planets are in an unusual placement, tightly grouped in one area of the sky. The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars have been unlikely travelling companions since they moved into Cancer, one by one, in early June. I watched...
