Sean Connery – A man of steel and seduction.

Just a day or so ago, I wrote a post on this blog and on Facebook about Neptune hitting the fixed Star Fomalhaut and I put up an old picture of Sir Sean Connery dressed as James Bond holding a revolver. That particular post was the most popular I have ever done on Facebook, and it prompted me to have a proper more in depth look at the astrology of a man who despite being in his 70’s shows no signs of slowing down.

Hugo Chavez the President of Venezuela passes away

In Venezuela, it has been announced that Hugo Chavez  has lost his fight for his life as he battled cancer, a condition he has endured for the last couple of years. This announcement came after he suffered a major setback in his condition today. He had only recently been re-elected as president for a 4th time on 10th January but in the past few months he had rarely been seen in public as he fought his illness.

Venus conjunct Chiron – The power of love relieving the pain.

Venus is conjunct to Chiron today (5th March 2013) in Pisces, one of those wonderful aspects that come along every so often that makes one feel at one with the world. Venus is love, Chiron brings healing and Pisces opens the channels for literally anything to happen.

The power of water can be used now to wash away any hurt or bring a flood of wonderful opportunities to solve problems in our lives. Conflicts may be becalmed, money troubles could be relieved, worry can turn to optimism and fears can be overcome, all with the healing love that is offered to us. Maybe you will be the one providing the healing or maybe someone will offer you a chance so help solve a troubling issue that you have been fretting about.
Look to where Venus and Chiron are making the conjunction, look for the house that Pisces is controlling on your chart and then for 9 degrees. That spot is the sweet spot for this hit, although your Venus ruled houses (Taurus & Libra) will also feel the lovely effects of this conjunction too.

Use and feel the positivity and love in the air today, and you will feel much better for it come the end of the day...

Neptune conjunct Fomalhaut - Things just ain't what they seem...

This aspect is now active until 3rd May 2013

I've been away for a few days, but not stopped working. Writing all those monthly horoscopes take some time, and I had a rush of personal reports to write as well.

In the meantime, Neptune has slid into orb of Fomalhaut, the star in Piscis Australis, the constellation of the Southern fish. This is one of the Royal Persian stars, the watcher of the South and a star that has a really mystical and magical sense about it. This is a star of charisma and anyone who has a connection to this star must try to keep their feet firmly on the ground, otherwise they can become a fall from excessive pride, over optimism or just sheer arrogance.

Neptune here brings intuition, imagination and a wonderfully psychic feel to the next couple of months, but don't be fooled. The deceptive qualities of Neptune I think are also enhanced too, and as much as one can wonder at the beauty of the world around you and dream the impossible dream and think that it can become reality, you can also be totally deceived or conned by unscrupulous people.

This is a connection for creating an illusion and making people think that what they are seeing is really real when in fact it is not. Great for TV and making films, producing art and transforming one form into another. I can imagine anyone with creative or artistic talents will be totally inspired by this link between Neptune and Fomalhaut.

There is a spiritual link here and it no surprise that the new Pope will be nominated under it's gaze. Maybe one of his remits will be to finally deal with the unseen and unholy rumours of abuse and deception in the Catholic Church that have been going on for decades now? This is a conjunction ripe for espionage and for the dark arts that governments get up to and for lifting a veil on any bad practices that have been going on. Robson says this influence is connected to secret affairs or government work, occult interests, detective ability, many secret enemies and maybe violent death through them, gain through speculation and many narrow escapes. It sounds very much like the plot to a Bond movie.

Interesting times lie ahead for us all under Neptune conjunct Fomalhaut, but remember that not everything and everyone that you meet, see and hear will be honest and working for your best interests...
