Let’s talk about Mars in Aries. It’s been six months and nine days of the Action Planet in his most potent terrain – rare and unprecedented in recent decades, as many of you know. Now, as I write, there are just 56 more hours to go. Check the Moon Calendar for the exact time in your zone but Mars moves into Taurus on Wednesday evening/Thursday morning. Yes, this week.

“Surprise, b**ch…”* Aries struts into 2021 like the maverick protagonist everyone thought had been written out of the show. Twenty-seven weeks of Mars was way too high a dose, even for you, but you managed the side-effects. Actually, no fuqRead More…
This year’s Solstice Sunrise was live-streamed from Stonehenge but they’re putting a motorway under it. It encapsulates the surreal irony of 2020, a cryptogram of a year. As I write, the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction is about to be exact and, as detailed here, it’s associated with significant cultural and commercial shifts.

This is not just an “it’s all space weather” take. The Solar Minimum/Solar Maximum cycle echoesRead More…
Welcome to the Saturn in Capricorn debriefing session! Here you can share with people who know what’s up and won’t glitch your cognitive processing with inane “it’s just a planet” commentary. Saturn is changing signs within days – see the countdown below – and its arrival in Aquarius initiates an entirely new era: more Air, more Uranian high-jinx. * But you know the kind of person who specializes in pithyRead More…
