My friend Kim Falconer always reminds me of this little bit of ancient astro-lore.

Whenever you are relating to someone with powerful synastry between you, it’s like you’re having a permanent transit of whatever planet is involved.

Huh?

Synastry is the comparison of two charts. Let’s just say you have a lover and their Saturn is right on your Moon. That means whenever you’re with this character or they are in your life, you may as well be having a Saturn-Moon transit. Which is not particularly a pleasant example. I find Saturn-Moon transits feel like getting into a wet swimsuit. Or cuddling up under a damp blanket.

So, let’s say someone’s Mars is on your Venus. Heaven. That’s like you’re having a non-stop Mars-Venus transit: Libidinal, inspired and hi-qi. Lust for life? Lust for damned well everything.

What’s fun is that you tend to attract peeps into your life who reflect the transit you are having. If you need to brush up on your Saturn management skills, along comes an inspirational haute Capricorn. Should you be mega-Saturnine and perhaps limiting yourself, enter a Plutonian to juice up your life.

eg; When Uranus was all over my Venus in 2008 & 2009, i seemed only able to date Aquarian men. It got to the point where I knew if a man was interested in me,  he’d be like a triple Aquarian AND have his Moon conjunct Uranus.

All this means that unless both people are evolving at the same rate and in similar directions, you do outgrow or vibe away from lovers & partners and that that this is a natural process. Sad when you think of the pair-bonded forever ideal but perhaps perfectly natural?

And btw, that seven year itch thing? It’s a Uranian cycle. Or one quarter of a full Saturn cycle. Very profound. Anytime you want some fun insights into your life patterns, run a seven year analysis. eg; Where were you & what were you feeling/doing seven years ago? Seven years before that???

Astrology is many cycles and all at once but it’s natural to crave a big change every seven years…

I’ve got Jupiter on my Venus in April – just as Uranus is on my Sun, ruler of my House of Love so i look forward to encountering someone v.jovial.

Yes it’s weird at the moment as there is all this fabulous, magical activity & eureka moments crackling away in Aquarius.

But it’s still the Dark Moon so there is a tides-out sensation with energy & emotions. Don’t do the gloom but do do the requisite Dark Moon rest-up & the Moon is new again Saturday night in America, early Sunday morning in the UK and in the afternoon in Australia.

That’s when the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding will really get going. Remember, it’s a New Moon near to the amazing (and rare) Chiron-Neptune conjunction: brilliant breakthroughs and sudden (positive) changes. Get with it but rejuvenate now.

Oh and there’s a sexy Venus-Pluto sextile next week as well. You may as well restore your glow along with your sanity. And big changes you’re pondering or already doing are enduring – no need to rush it all now.

Trust our Aquarius to nab themselves the gemstone said to be THE most powerful, THE most chakra-aligning and with arguably the most intensive history of all.  Aquarians, btw, could pull off some spectacular stunts this month, as Chiron and Neptune meet in a rare and auspicious conjunction, in Aquarius. It’s the culmination of the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding, that began early last year.

The Aqua-Moon

La Luna is in Aquarius so go individuate your head off. Plus Uranus is in slo-mo set to go Direct in early December. Uranus RULES Aquarius. Sun/Mon/Tues are thus super-Uranian and a really good time to be your true self, eccentric and certainly don’t trip along following someone else’s unique vision. It’s emotionally cool as well. The Sun is newly in Saggo so think breezy, sanguine, individuated and totally active. As the Moon meets the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding in the next few days, there is luck & visions of the future where-ever you have Aquarius going on. More in the Scopes & Daily Mystic, obviously.

Ingres – The Dream Of Ossian

Imagine Mars as a spunky warrior archetype having to slow his brisk march down to an amble through Aquarius. His favoured soundtrack of (let’s say) Ride Of The Valkyries switched to something complicated, jazzy and intellectual. Instinct, guts and stamina declared 2nd rate to the cerebal ponderings of our Aquarius.  Mars is not so happy in Aquarius but the war-lordly one (ruler of soldiers, sports-folk, athletes, crusaders, whistle-blowers, Arieans, Scorps heated lovers, men and fighters of all persuasion)  will loathe it even more having to swim through Pisces from mid-March.

What is there to look forward to for Mars??? Mars will travel through Aries (yay) from late April, then there will be a stay in at-least-shit-gets-done truculent Taurus, some skitzing about in Gemini (“I said I’d what?) an unspeakable trip thru emo-crabby Cancer and then – bliss – months and months in Leo. Yes, due a retrograde Mars is going to be in Leo for yonks.

But first – this Friday  and then next week – Mars meets Chiron and Neptune.  Chiron on the Friday & Neptune on the Sunday – the latter colouring the weekend. Mars & Chiron have been conjoining every second March (ish) for a while.  Mars is the Warrior & Chiron the Sacred Sage who trained warriors. He is about maverick courage. So this conjunction is a fantastic opportunity for flair to be added into your current quest, whether it be something high-faluting, a fitness jag or wilful effort to get over something/someone.

Think the blessing of sudden wisdom and/or an unexpected but good development. It also starts a new cycle of courage & growth. Think bk to March 2003, 2005 and 2007 for clues.

Mars-Neptune is something else again. It colours the whole weekend. It can be Mars energy stimulating visionary creative energy, dreams and spiritual awareness….Very Aragorn with Gandalf in vibe.

Or Mars with Neptune can be hell-bent dipsomania jag compleat with cuckoo tequila-texting, stupid ideas and stream-of-consciousness crap scrawled on napkins…Remember that as you’re scheduling in your Sat nite, especially with retro-Venus evoking the ghosts of Ex-lovers & the Full Moon provoking some version of rebellion.  So…Mars-Neptune can also be this…
