How will the United States deal with its Pluto Return?

Tomorrow we enter October and a month that will see three of our outer planets starting to march forward once again. It really will be a turnaround month with Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury all switching motion from retrograde to direct. Just for the record, Pluto stations on the 6th followed by Saturn on the 11th. Then Jupiter and Mercury simultaneously change direction on the 18th October within 10 hours of each other. By the middle of the month we really should be starting to build up a head of steam, engines ready to go, as the prospect of making some forward progress in our lives becomes an actual reality. Much of what we were able to muster in the previous month or two may have been linked in some way in the past. Now we will be able to use everything that we have been given, and look to branch out into fresh territory.

The Full Moon in Pisces on 21st September – The incomplete truth

We are on the verge of another full Moon, and this one early tomorrow morning (UK time) lands in the sacrificial sign of Pisces. As you will know if you have followed my work or any other reputable astrology writer, the Full Moon is a moment in time when everything comes together and the full extent of a situation is known and revealed. Now I preface that this is normally the case, but in this particular situation and under this full Moon, I am not so sure if the full extent of what is going on will be opened out. The reason is that both Pisces where the Full Moon will be located and its conjunction with Neptune moving in its own sign may cast elements of doubt and will bring a lack of clarity over proceedings. I say may, because with Neptune and Pisces, you never know where the end is, as everything is so open-ended.

Mercury Retrograde in Libra – How we relate to each other

Yesterday as we experienced a New Moon in Virgo, Mercury quietly entered the retrograde zone where it will be operating between now and 22nd November. Often we Astrologers get fixated on the actual degrees where Mercury stops and stations, and we forget the general theme that is going on. Especially in Virgo season, one might be prone to take our eyes off the wider picture, but we shouldn't.

Simone Biles wthdraws from the Tokyo Olympics

There is no doubt that Simone Biles has over the past decade been the best female gymnast on the planet. Supreme at her sport and almost unbeatable, but even the great ones cannot stand in the way of the planets when they come knocking on the door. Today in a surprise move, she withdrew from the US Gymnastic team in the middle of the team competition, siting mental health issues as the cause.
