You thought is was never going to happen but it has. We are at a turning cardinal point of new beginnings and an inception moment. But we are now at the fall of the sun and next month we will celebrate – if that is the appropriate word – the fall of the moon, when we enter Scorpio season. Before… Read more →
The heavy energies of the last several lunations have not gone away, and now we are feeling that accumulation of a burden which is compounded by a nervous tension of worry for the future. As the passions of Leo are subsiding, we are faced with the havoc it wreaked, and all the work that needs to get done, which was… Read more →
Change of cosmic proportions is illuminated. It is happening in real life and in real time. But some sort of fog of war is keeping us muddled and confused, as well as fearful and emotionally distant. It is the Full Moon taking place on 19 August 2024, at 10:16 GMT, and at 29 degrees and 08 minutes of Aquarius. Given… Read more →
We are going for gold. It is the alchemical moment of high summer in its’ archetypal expression. Everything is possible as our hearts are filled with passion and courage. Pain and disappointment are binned, at least for now. It is the New Moon that takes place on 4 August 2024, at 11:12 GMT, and at 12 degrees and 33 minutes… Read more →
Spazziamo!!! We are mopping up. We are clearing out. This is not our first rodeo. We’ve been here before. At least since about a month ago, when we had our first full moon in Capricorn. Now it’s time for the final push. It is the Full Moon taking place on 21 July 2024, at 10:16 GMT, and at 29 degrees… Read more →
The moon, which represents the material world, the familiar, the close by, the everyday, the experiential, as well as the fleeting and impermanent, is in domicile. We are coming from spirit into matter. New beginnings are crucial. But, they happen under immense pressure coming both ways. It is the New Moon that takes place on 5 July 2024, at 22:57… Read more →
Endings, endings, endings. Bells are ringing that our abundance might not be unbounded, our physical health and agency has limits, and time is running out in all sorts of ways. In fact, it’s time to preserve what we can and just let go of the superfluous. A feminine, receptive, and earthy Saturn is quietly bringing in a climax, a culmination… Read more →
We are at the health axis. Physical and mental health are in the spotlight. Welcome to the full moon in Virgo. Sun is in Pisces. And two quick, but monumental, conjunctions are illuminated by the moon light. They are Mercury conjunct Saturn in Aquarius, and Venus conjunct Jupiter in Aries. The cold winds of logic and structure meet a burning… Read more →
Mercury is making his presence felt. He is the God of rational thinking and the supreme leader of communication. Without him nothing moves, nothing gets exchanged. The card naturally appeared out of Kyle Gray’s oracle deck as his own first act and PR manager – all in one. And with good reason too. Around the 10th of January we are having a full moon and a lunar eclipse in Cancer, 20 degrees. By far the most significant astrological event in 2020. Not least because it is followed by one of the most discussed and anticipated celestial occurrences that has astrologers talking about for decades. It’s the conjunction of Saturn to Pluto, and Sun conjoining Saturn and Pluto, all taking place in Capricorn. So these power players in heavy, ambitious, depressed, earthly Capricorn are undoubtedly colouring our earthly experiences. Capricorn is associated with old age, big authority figures, heritage, old buildings, massive historic structures, physical or otherwise, and things dying in the material sense, in general.
As if this was not enough, a day earlier, the so called liberating and unpredictable Uranus, goes direct in Taurus. A sign concerned with values, worth and materiality in all its’ shapes and forms. A day later Venus moves into Pisces rearranging and dissolving our experiences of love and self-worth just as we thought we knew what was going on.
But in the whole, what will in fact influence us in our particular everyday life is mostly the fact that mischievous, talkative, expressive Mercury jumps in there to reorganise and bring meaning to the others. Mercury is young, fit and beautiful. He moves fast. Remember he has the freedom to go down to Hades and up to the heavens to deliver messages. So the way we think around events on the outside, the way we perceive information and the way we analyse our environment is crucial. It will make all the difference. It’s time for serious thinking and, unfortunately, Mercury will not only communicate sobering decision making, but will also bring us depressive thoughts and anxiety.
While at the moment action God Mars is in Sagittarius – and both Mars and Sagittarius are quite militaristic – our reactions tend towards the scattered and impulsive. Instead, use Mercury’s rationality to stay mindful and progressive. Talk to others. This is not the time to keep things bottled up. With conscious discerning thinking and Mercury’s help, we can move beyond difficult situations, painful endings, lose, unpredictable events and fear dominated reactions. Mercury doesn’t judge and doesn’t waste time with self-pity or incrimination, he flies free opening up channels, bringing healing by transporting goods and ideas, and communicating messages so we can live with more knowledge and wisdom. Trust the universe and trust your Mercurial powers to make the right choices everyday.
Flavia
