The Grand Jupiter & Saturn Conjunction – A New Age Begins









So to the grand conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter on 21st December 2020, the day of the winter solstice at 0 degrees Aquarius. This conjunction has been widely anticipated as it it brings forth the advent of a brand new cycle, as this major conjunction occurs in the air signs for the first time in the best part of 600 years. Just to give you some perspective, the last time these two planets met in the early degrees of Aquarius to start a new cycle or grand conjunctions in air signs was the year 1226. This particular conjunction is likely to be far more significant than that one was, as it lands on the solstice. Jupiter is the great expansive influence in the heavens, as the bringer of wisdom and knowledge. Saturn is the great restrictive influence on us, holding us to account, giving us responsibilities to carry out, and bringing patience when it is sorely needed. This conjunction convenes every 19 to 20 years, as a marker point for the next chapter in the evolution of the world around us. I believe that this particular grand conjunction will mark the beginning of an even greater age - the Age of Aquarius.

The Lunar Eclipse in Gemini on 30th Nov 2020 – Starting On The Road To Recovery












We are heading into eclipse season now and the first of these is going to be a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in the duel sign of Gemini. There is always two sides to Gemini, an obvious statement I know, but it bares repeating. The main stars in the constellation of Gemini, the twins of Castor & Pollux are two completely different sides of the same coin. Castor is all sweetness and light, the optimist, the raconteur, full of prose and lyrical words. Pollux is the street-fighter who lives in the shadows, the one who chances his arm, uses force over reason, and is partial to illegal activity rather than going the path of honesty. With Gemini you get the full package, and you never know what you are going to get at any one time either, as Gemini changes like the wind. If you know any Geminis you will know that they can charm the pants off you, but there is also a dark side too. They are perpetually whirring away, they never stop as this is the sign that rules the mind, and their mind never stops to let them relax.

The New Moon in Scorpio on 15th November – Making A Silk Purse Out Of A Sow's Ear


Hello everyone. It's a really busy time astrologically and the next act in the changing times that we are experiencing comes with the Scorpio New Moon tomorrow. Scorpio season is the most polarising one of all, as the battle for survival comes to a conclusion. For any Scorpio, their biggest fear is just this, survival, and any Scorpio will do literally anything to preserve what they have, and for it not to die. Paradoxically, change and rebirth is what any Scorpio absolutely needs, and as fixed and stubborn as they are, without transformation and change they would remain stuck permanently in the past. Scorpio is a water sign too, and so all Scorpios feel this fear deep in their soul, and it creates extreme worry and anxiety. Being a sign of strength though, they will never betray these feelings to anyone except their closest partners, and that is never a given anyway, lest it be a sign of weakness. That would never do for a Scorpio.

A Significant Moment - The Final Chapter Begins




This week is a very, very important one astrologically as for the last time in Capricorn, two of the three planets that have been responsible for so much of the grief and trouble around the world make contact. Also this week, the retrograde nightmare that has been blighting us all since mid Spring ends.
