Scorpio New Moon

New Moon November 1, 2024, 10.46pm AEST 9 Scorpio 35 I recall the last time there was a Scorpio New Moon this close to Halloween – 31 October 2016 (Sydney time). That New Moon fell at 7 Scorpio, and I remember writing about getting rid of waste, eliminating the crap, and banishing the unbanishables. We…

November 2024

Helloooooo, is anyone there? I wouldn’t blame you if you weren’t after all, I haven’t been … here, that is. I’ve been plenty of other places, and it’s safe to say 2024 hasn’t really lived up to the hype, but in many other ways it has lived up to the astrology – or, specifically, to…

Mercury in Capricorn – Drawing lines in the sand

Since leaving my day job a couple of months ago I’ve struggled with daily structures and routines. Rather than being more productive with my writing, I’ve been less, and rather than using my time more efficiently, I’ve regularly found myself faffing about watching Hallmark Christmas movies when I should be doing something that will contribute…

Freedom and the Aries Full Moon

So anyways, yesterday I walked away from my day job. It wasn’t as dramatic an exit as that sounds, it was, instead, quite lovely and something I’d made a decision on and been working towards for a couple of months. I know I’ll miss my colleagues and the daily interactions – even though as I…

Once in a Blue Moon

31 August 2023, Full Moon 7 Pisces 25′ Driving back from the beach this morning the radio announcer was talking about this week’s blue moon. A blue moon – when you get two full moons within a month – is relatively uncommon, happening once every 2 ½ years. Two blue moons in the one year…
