Pluto goes retro 2024

 

pluto symbol

Pluto slows to a halt on Fri 3 May ready to begin his retrograde journey.  If anything in your life has been going through symbolic death throes in the last six months, this is a time when you are likely to revisit the whole process, perhaps at an even deeper level as you search for the hidden truths and the soul essence of who you are, the alchemist’s gold that can eventually emerge from the blackness.

Pluto is stationary at 2 degrees of Aquarius.

Anyone whose birthday falls around 23 Jan is likely to be experiencing a very intense time while personal transformation goes on at a deep core level – the eventual outcome is empowerment, the ability to stand comfortably in your own power, but it’s a long drawn-out process which won’t be complete until the beginning of 2026.  This will also be true for anyone with personal planets at this degree, or at 2 degrees of the other fixed signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio.

Pluto will retrograde back to 29 degrees Capricorn before turning direct again on 12 Oct 2024.

Clear ahead – Mercury goes direct!

Clear ahead – Mercury goes direct! 

 

Screen Shot 2021-10-08 at 12.05.40 pm

We can all heave a sigh of relief as Mercury goes direct after three weeks of its usual communication challenges, delays and frustrations.

Mercury goes direct on Thurs 25 April, stationing at 15 Aries after its recent retrograde period.

The frustrations of the last three weeks will now ease and communications become a lot smoother again.

In the days leading up to Mercury going direct, continue to double-check appointment times, that you have your keys with you, and that messages get through OK.

Remember that confusion and misunderstandings occur much more easily at this time.

Try to delay any major purchases or contract-signing till at least a week after Mercury’s gone direct.

Secrets come to light at Full Moon in Scorpio 2024?

April 18, 2024 by

Secrets come to light at Full Moon in Scorpio 2024?

 

Full Moon clouds

The Full Moon on Wed 24 April (AEST) brings the six-week eclipse season to a close.

Falling in Scorpio, it’s likely to be a very emotional time when deep and passionate feelings are revealed. This Scorpio Full Moon brings a strong possibility of secret or intensely private matters coming to light, possibly with a sexual content or maybe concerning financial matters (or even both!).

Full Moons tend to bring situations to a head, with feelings running high, a strong emotional charge, and tense situations reaching a climax – amped up by being in Scorpio.

Check your chart to see which house is under the spotlight!

The Full Moon is at 4 degrees Scorpio and is exact at 9.48am Queensland time (AEST).  The best time to celebrate the Full Moon will be the previous evening while the energy is building.

The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction 2024

April 12, 2024 by

The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction 2024

 Jupiter-Uranus

The year’s major alignment, the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, is exact on Sun 21 April at 21 degrees Taurus.  Unlike many planetary conjunctions which are extended by their retrograde motion around each other, we’ll only be receiving one contact of this particular conjunction.

The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction represents revolutionary energy which comes with increased awareness and radical changes.  Jupiter is associated with legal, moral, and ethical concerns, while Uranus is revolutionary energy, breaking free and raising our awareness.

The Jupiter-Uranus cycle is 14 years, and it can have quite a destabilizing effect as the new changes take hold, both intellectually and materially.

This Jupiter-Uranus conjunction falls in Taurus, an Earth sign associated with farming, food production, the environment, as well as banking and finance.  We can expect to see major shake-ups and changes in all of these areas and I discussed this in some detail in the Winds of Change webinar.

An exciting synchronicity is that the Bitcoin halving is taking place around the time of this conjunction – meaning this could be the watershed time that brings crypto into much more mainstream acceptance, something we’re already starting to see as institutional investors are now getting involved.

We’re also likely to see increased use of blockchain technology (Uranus) in many different areas of commerce as it creates a supply chain record that is transparent and cannot be tampered with.  It also plays into the Pluto in Aquarius transition where power can no longer be held by a small group but becomes decentralized.   Again, I discussed this at some length in the Winds of Change webinar if you’d like to know more.

A few places and people in the spotlight affected by this Jupiter-Uranus conjunction – not that we don’t already know this, but it’s interesting what the astrology confirms:

  • Israel’s Sun is at 23 Taurus – we can expect to see some massive shake-ups there
  • The British Royal Family all have chart points at 21-24 Taurus (and fixed signs generally) – they’re really going through a massive destabilization right now with Charles’ and Kate’s illnesses and the republican movement growing.
  • The UK generally is also picking up on the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction – the 1066 chart for the crowning of William I, and the UK House of Commons chart are both activated by the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction (see Nick Campion’s Book of World Horoscopes).  Expect some serious disruption there!!!

Total Solar Eclipse New Moon in Aries 2024

April 4, 2024 by

Total Solar Eclipse New Moon in Aries 2024

 

eclipseTues 9 April 2024 at 4.20am AEST at 19 Aries

(total solar eclipse exact at 4.17am AEST, duration 4 min 28 sec)

 

Total Solar Eclipse conjunct Chiron

The New Moon in Aries on Tues 9 April (Qld time, the previous day in Europe and the Americas) is a TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE, visible over North America.  A New Moon always represents the beginning of a new cycle, and when it’s eclipsed, it’s a highly significant new beginning.

The path of this total solar eclipse falls across the eastern half of North America – and in fact, as I discussed in the Winds of Change webinar, it crosses the path of the solar eclipse of Oct 2023 which fell across the western half of the US. Their paths cross over Texas, which strongly suggests that Texas could be a particular hot-spot for significant changes!  Take a look at the Nasa graphics here: https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/

This total eclipse falls at 19 degrees Aries, with totality lasting for 4 mins 28 secs – that’s a long eclipse, intensifying the effects still further, even if the eclipse is not visible where you are.  Mark this spot in your birth chart to see where changes and new beginnings are likely in your life.

Chiron is exactly conjunct this eclipse, indicating the enormous potential for healing that exists now, the beginning of a really significant new cycle.  The archetype of Chiron is the Wounded Healer, and in order for healing to take place, the original wound has to be reopened, cleansed and cauterised, a painful yet necessary pre-requisite for the subsequent healing.  Chiron has been in Aries since 2018 and I wrote then this could well manifest as healing the urges for aggression and violence. I was thinking at the time of domestic violence and femicide, but of course this aggression can also apply to conflicts and wars – Mars, the ruler of Aries, was after all the God of War.  Let’s hope that this Chiron conjunction with the eclipse can start a new cycle in healing and bring peace to all conflict zones.

The eclipses are linked to the Moon’s Nodes, and as this a North Node eclipse, we need to focus on developing positive Aries traits – taking action, being able to challenge and confront where necessary, moving away from endless debate that results in fence-sitting (South Node in Libra).

If your birthday falls close to this date (within a day either side), this is the beginning of a really significant new cycle in your life, particularly with regard to your sense of identity and purpose in life. The influence of Chiron means that this could be a significant new cycle in your own healing, or perhaps you’re at the stage where you can now bring healing energy to others.
 
The solar eclipse falls on Tues 9 April 2024 (AEST) at 19 Aries.  The eclipse is exact at 4.17am, the New Moon is exact at 4.20am – that’s Queensland time, AEST.

Your New Moon manifestations will be especially powerful on account of the eclipse.  Set your intentions within 24 hours of the New Moon.

And remember, take extra care during the eclipse season!!!
