The week ahead…
I’ve got a few other posts planned for this week, so given that there’s not a huge amount happening up there – other than a New Moon in Taurus on Wednesday – I figured we’d cover it all in one go. To start the week off with intention we have a Mercury – Saturn trine.…

Five reasons to keep an astro journal…
The New and Full Moon posts that I publish here are excerpts from my journals – and I share them with you. Each time we have a New or a Full Moon, before writing a post, I read what I wrote at last year’s lunation. Sometimes it surprises me how similar the themes are. Sometimes…

Mars in Gemini
So anyways, Mars moves into Gemini today. He didn’t feel particularly comfortable in Taurus – things don’t happen quickly enough there for Mars’ liking. Even the words don’t come quickly or easily – in fact, sometimes in Taurus the words can’t seem to come out at all. They get stuck somewhere between the heart and…

Something about delaying no longer…
Monday 17 April, 2017 Venus sextile Mars Sun trine Saturn Moon into Capricorn Venus links up with Mars today. Sextiles generally bring opportunities- and the most common Venus/Mars opportunities are around relating, money and finance, or creativity. That gives you a pretty wide range.

Friday 14 April, 2017 Sun conjunct Uranus Moon in Scorpio Moon into Sagittarius I’m writing this in the past – back in the middle of March to be exact – but if all has gone according to plan, today is the last day of our holidays. Later this evening we’ll leave Bangkok to return to…

How to survive (and thrive) during a Mercury retrograde…
I’ve prattled on a lot in the past about Bali and why I love it – and the people. Possibly, though, the thing I love the most are the offerings. The process of constructing and offering the tributes is not just a belief based ritual, but also a deliberate pause to be fully in the…

Something about getting what you need…and letting go…
Sunday, April 9, 2017 Venus square Saturn Sun square Pluto Moon in Virgo Moon into Libra I struggle with Saturn – I’ve said that before – and my experience of Venus is an impulsive one. The thing is, when Venus is square Saturn, a little tough love might be the order of the day. Now,…
