Aries New Moon

It’s fair to say that I’ve been struggling of late. While there’s been brief moments where I’ve managed to pop my head up out of the day job to look around at what else there is out there, for much of the time my brain has been so full of whatever happened during the day…

Venus In Pisces

Venus in Pisces La Vie En Rose. I love this song. It’s the melody, the lyrics, Piaf’s smoky voice, the idea of living life tinted by pink, perpetual Spring… It’s perfect for Venus in Pisces. Of course, another great song choice would be the one by Savage Garden: I knew I loved you before I…

Uranus in Aries – a 2nd house retrospective

I mentioned in my wrap-up of the week last Sunday that I was blaming the restlessness and frustration that’s been in the air on Uranus or, more specifically, on the fact that Uranus was in the last throes of the transit through Aries and wouldn’t get another chance at shaking up that part of the…

Pisces New Moon

New Moon 6/7 March 2019 15 Pisces 47’ I was intending on getting something new out for you for this new moon, but I’m in Sydney working and absolutely exhausted by the time I’m getting home – so we’re going with something that’s been, shall I say, repackaged… “One must still have chaos in oneself to be…

Mercury Retrograde March 2019

Here in Queensland, we don’t switch the clocks to daylight saving time – even though the rest of the east coast of Australia does. There are varying reasons for this which include arguments that the cows won’t know when to be milked and the chooks won’t know when to lay. There are also more valid…

Venus in Aquarius 2019

Venus moved into Aquarius yesterday. In Aquarius, she takes pleasure in the quirky, the unusual, the non-conventional. If you want to know more about Venus in Aquarius, you’ll find the post here. If you have Venus in Aquarius, Venus in close aspect to Uranus, or are (or know) an Aquarian woman, you might want to have…

DIY Mercury Returns

My Mercury had a birthday on Valentine’s Day. It’s just taken me this long to post the return chart. Just like our birthday – or the day when our Sun returns to its natal position – is a recharging of our vital energies; when Mercury returns to its natal position, it’s a time when our…

Happy Birthday Pisces

I came across this beautiful poem the other day. It was in an episode of Lewis – an English crime series that I’m doing some serious binging on at the moment when I should be writing – procrastiwatching, I call it. The line ‘And the moonbeams kiss the sea’ was what got me. Just how…

Aquarius New Moon

February 5, 8.03am (AEDST) New Moon 15 Aquarius 45′ Okay, I’ve spent the last few days away in Melbourne with my daughter and I’m crazy, messy busy at the moment with the day job so I’ll be borrowing heavily from previous years posts for today’s rundown on tomorrow morning’s New Moon. (That’s East Coast Australia time – it will…

Mercury in Aquarius

Mercury moves into Aquarius later today or the wee hours of tomorrow morning – depending on where you live. Yeah, so what? I hear you say. ‘I’m not an Aquarian,’ you say, ‘so it can’t affect me.’ Yeah…nah. The thing is, the movement of the planets provides the planetary or astro weather forecast for all…
