At the end of 2009 we have Venus, Pluto, Sun, Mercury and the North Node in Capricorn.  It’s a sobering sign, but the Sun is always in Capricorn at this time of year, and Mercury and Venus often are.  Pluto and the North Node are additional and heavyweight features in Capricorn, and so we are […]

Venus was square to Uranus this morning, and if your social plans were disrupted last night, this would be the reason.  Perhaps you are in a different location than you’d planned.  Perhaps snow or strikes took matters out of your hands.  So your mind may be holding two realities: the one you had planned, and […]

We are currently in the overlap period between the conjunction of Jupiter/Chiron and the forthcoming conjunction of Jupiter/Neptune, and there is a double event this week which reflects this.  The week will contain surprises (in some cases shocks), and some blessings.  Today the Sun is sextile Chiron, highlighting and to some extent creatively  solving healing […]

Many of the aspects this week fall during the sleep period in the U.K., so it could be a fruitful week for dream work and insights in the night here (dream diary is a must).  The aspects will make for a more conscious or active experience in the U.S. (evening experiences for the most part) […]

On reading last week’s opener “It’s all good news” someone complained straight away.  Another friend this week turned bad news into good news, in a real water-into-wine achievement.  And my mum says no news is good news any way…So I hope you did indeed have a good week, and are still enjoying yesterday’s aspects.  These […]

It’s all good news this week…which is why it’s a good time to smoothly slip in an advance blog about Saturn’s upcoming entry into Libra.  You should have seen me this morning, ushering in today’s Libran New Moon which was at 5.33 a.m. here in the U.K.  I was a charicature of myself: starting a […]
