ASTROLOGY IN BRIEF

Mercury/Sagittarius opposes Jupiter/Gemini retrograde today (18th). Moving stuck situations has to be done strategically to avoid backlash dissolution or unnecessary snarl ups. As Saturn moves again now in Pisces the fug and the fog begins to lift, but awaits the entrance of Sun into Sagittarius on Friday before ways are highlighted or signaled. Moon/Cancer today and tomorrow make personal angles easily understood and sensitive issues needing subtlety.

Full Moon in Taurus

Full Moon in Taurus today (15th) argues with Jupiter resting in Gemini but iin good aspect to Saturn turning direct tomorrow in Pisces. Whether to allow divisions and glaring anomalies be, or whether to bring in the heavy lifting gear. Many benefit from the generosity of those with nothing to lose by giving over, although some gestures are genuinely from sympathy or a spirit of grace. Not so much a fork in the road as a diversion to shorter route. Best to keep focus on issues which  issues which tend to blur or blip in and out.    

Mars/Leo & Mars/Cancer

Mars grips Leo for the first time - until retrograding back into Capricorn next January. So now begins the leaps for prominence, the braver thrusts for dominance .. and, naturally, the attention seekers chancing their arm. The recent transit of Mars/Cancer had subdued the meek and the compliant and the cautious in approach. But the opposition now between Mars/Leo and Pluto at nought degrees Aquarius leaves the field open for better strategy, approach and preparation - until Pluto takes the front-line again in January and leads negotiations to reverse or amend oversights, omissions and flagrant rebuttals from September and October. 

The strength of Mars/Cancer is not to be under-estimated when backed by stronger voice and character. The yang supports the yin, and then vice versa. April next brings Mars/Leo centre stage and in direct motion towards stability and thoroughness of basics as Mars enters Virgo by mid June. Pluto totally gripping Aquarius next year by inches and indomitable degrees sees lines drawn, stronger bases and irreversible boundaries .. In many matters, personal and trans-personal. Pluto is vastly misunderstood and under-estimated, and by some falsely villainised. But the progress of this planet (which many astrologers believe rules time itself) marks the start of an entirely different epoch.

 

ASTROLOGY SOUND-BITE

Following the conjunction of Sun-Moon in Scorpio yesterday, the Moon trines Saturn today (2nd) resting in Pisces: never a better time for burying the truth .. or saving it for later; maybe after tomorrow. Change in tempo then as Mercury enters Sagittarius and argues with Pluto/Capricorn; curiouser and curiouser and blurted information.

ASTROLOGY IN BRIEF

Mars/Cancer begins to oppose Pluto/Capricorn and is full on by the weekend. While Uranus/Taurus makes varying and easy aspects to both. The swords are sheathed for now on growing tensions of all manner, shapes and sizes. Moon in Virgo and then in Libra tomorrow (29th) favours graceful approach and smooth progress until Thursday, when Moon/Scorpio, aiding Mercury, lends stealthier tools to Mars and refuses to safeguard previously solid positions and decisions. Moon/Scorpio moves over the Sun on Friday, leading to many powerful arrangements and team-ups, most of them disliking undue attention or the glare of the spotlight.

 

ASTROLOGY SOUND-BITE

As the Sun enters Scorpio tomorrow (23rd) the Moon is then at mid degrees Cancer and trines Mercury/Scorpio while Scorpio’s ruler, Pluto, moves backwards in Capricorn. The need for subterfuge, tact or extra privacy is lessened in some situations as more detailed information aids opposite ends of causes or campaigns and renders protective measures or guarded data unnecessary; certain measures around these becoming unworkable. A time for opening boxes and locked doors - but best to have it done by the start of next week 

Full Moon on Thursday

Tomorrow’s Full Moon (a hunter’s moon) is in Aries, opposing Sun/Libra and forming a T-Square with Mars/Cancer. As the label suggests, a time for research, tracking or finding what is most wanted, sought or needed. Mercury in Scorpio lends aid by undercover or covert observation and detailing until Sunday. Although the arguments Mars has with resting Jupiter/Gemini are precluding access presently to the more pertinent information or places. Deep diving is required for best progress - preferably with searchlights.
