Hearts a Mess
A couple of things I forgot to add in yesterdays Venus Rx post: Given that the Rx is in Gemini, a Mercury ruled sign, this retrograde may take on the flavour of a Mercury retrograde- so watch your messaging and your mode of messaging eg it may be worth chatting face to face rather than…

No Regrets
This post could very easily have been called “Ghosts of Relationships Past”, but given my unfortunate habit of using song titles… What does Venus mean to you? Is she about art, beauty and serenity? Perhaps she is all about love, romance and fantasy? Or maybe Venus is how you feel about yourself, whether you feel…

Running on Empty?
I have Mars in Scorpio, in the 8th house. At 3 Scorpio, not only is Mars in the sign he rules (ie very strong), in the house naturally associated with Scorpio (this is good too) in traditional terms (for reasons to do with words like “triplicity”, “terms” and “face”) he is extra comfortable. In fact…

The usual Mercury retrograde rules apply, but in Sagittarius, add a couple of extra: Pay extra attention to travel and travel related issues Ideas…

Hope, Faith and Optimism
I am writing this from a seat in Perth Domestic Airport waiting for a flight home, hopeful that not only will the schedule the airline is operating to match mine, but also that my bag will depart on the same flight as I do. Hope. Last night I said a teary goodbye to a colleague…

An apology and a shout out
I’d like to start this post with a public apology to everyone on the same flight as me to Perth yesterday. You all got to share in my extremely shitty transit. Now, I’m not normally one for checking the daily movement of the little guys against my chart. Unless something else is happening in the…
