He is now retrograde (from Nov 11th 2025 to March 11th 2026). Jupiter is exalted in Cancer. His energy is focused on 'the home' and the people, places, and memories that make us feel safe and secure. This one is 'the family way'. Jupiter in Cancer cares. Jupiter in Cancer 'expands home', it centres us on 'selfhood', our place, our world domain.

THE LUNAR STANDSTILL.

The Mean Lunar Node is in Pisces. We are (very early 2026) well past the climax of a Major Lunar Standstill. This is a period lasting for three years within the 18.6 year lunar nodal cycle. The last major lunar standstill centred on June 2006, and this current one was centred on January 2025. During these years we are observing extreme northerly and southerly lunar rising and setting points on the local horizon when the Moon is in tropical Gemini/Cancer or Sagittarius/Capricorn.

Starting today and lasting a week, peaking on Jan 9th/10th, the Sun Venus and Mars are all opposite Jupiter. The Sun, Venus and Mars are tightly conjunct in Capricorn. 02.01 Mercury at 6 Capricorn waning bi-novile Saturn at 26 Pisces 10.48 The Moon at 27 Leo waxing quincunx Saturn at 27 Pisces 13.05 The Moon at 28 Leo waxing square Uranus at 28 Taurus.

Significant and powerful astrology is at work right now, mainly involving the personal planets. Expect pertinent personal and global events. The US yesterday seized a Russian-flagged vessel in the North Atlantic linked to Venezuelan oil. It also says it apprehended a second tanker in the Caribbean in the 'back-to-back' boarding of two 'ghost fleet' ships. The UK military supported the US operation to seize the tanker in the Atlantic The closest linear alignments of Venus and Mars in the first half of the 21st century are on Jan 8th 2026 (0.17 degrees) Nov 7th 2047 (0.12 degrees).

God bless America.

We are at the peak of the current acute astrological wave. We are having to respond to a stellium of bodies in Capricorn all opposed by Jupiter in Cancer. This is gritty, tough going and excitable agitated energy. World events are corresponding with major protests in Iran and imperialistic threats, bullying and worryingly destabilizing overtures from the USA administration. We have 13 days remaining of this capricornian energy. Venus move into Aquarius on Jan 17th, Mercury and the Sun will have followed suit by the 20th, and Mars follows into Aquarius, 3 days later. By Jan 23rd we will have 5 bodies in Aquarius and a vastly different 'feel' to proceedings. Before then we have a positively dynamic New Moon in Capricorn on 18th Jan accompanied by Mercury conjunct Mars, still in Capricorn. Behind all of this we have the inexorable closing in of Saturn to Neptune in late Pisces, a conjunction of 'global testing'. The time we live in right now is especially important. The Sun, Venus and Mars opposing Jupiter today will most likely evoke tense situations. 00.34 The decelerating waning Moon at 13 Libra squares Mercury at 13 Capricorn 01.33 Mercury at 13 Capricorn waning sesuiquadrate Uranus at 28 Taurus 08.00 to 15.12 A Cardinal T-square is manifest involving the Moon, Jupiter, Venus and Mars. 08.43 The Sun at 20 Capricorn opposition Jupiter at 20 Cancer 14.26 Mars at 20 Capricorn opposition Jupiter at 20 Cancer 15.09 The Moon at 20 Libra waxing square Jupiter at 20 Cancer 15.12 The Moon at 20 Libra waning square Mars at 20 Capricorn 15.49 The Moon at Last Quarter 17.55 The Moon at 21 Libra waning square Venus at 21 Capricorn.

THE LUNAR STANDSTILL.

The Mean Lunar Node is in Pisces. We are (very early 2026) well past the climax of a Major Lunar Standstill. This is a period lasting for three years within the 18.6 year lunar nodal cycle. The last major lunar standstill centred on June 2006, and this current one was centred on January 2025. During these years we are observing extreme northerly and southerly lunar rising and setting points on the local horizon when the Moon is in tropical Gemini/Cancer or Sagittarius/Capricorn.

It's Mercury's turn now to oppose Jupiter. The aspect peaks early GMT tomorrow. Today is coloured with disproportionate decision making and judgments made wide of the mark. 02.46 The very slowly waning Moon at 20 Scorpio waxing trine Jupiter at 20 Cancer 04.23 Mercury at 18 Capricorn waning quintile Neptune at 30 Pisces 07.44 The Moon at 22 Scorpio waning sextile Mars at 22 Capricorn 09.49 The Moon at 23 Scorpio waning sextile The Sun at 23 Capricorn 13.28 The Moon at 25 Scorpio waning sextile Venus at 25 Capricorn 17.33 The Moon at 27 Scorpio waning trine Saturn at 27 Pisces 18.50 The Moon at 28 Scorpio opposition Uranus at 28 Taurus 20.48 The Moon is at apogee, furthest from the Earth and slowest all month. 23.00 The Moon at 30 Scorpio waning trine Neptune at 30 Pisces.

We are about to be subject to an astrological thunder punch. A tight Capricorn stellium, a close conjunction of Mercury and Mars, the final of 3 over recent months, and a dynamic New Moon all occur over the next 3 days. The president of the USA has transiting Mars opposite his natal Saturn 10.23 GMT today. That might set the ball rolling. Transitting Saturn is currently exactly conjunct the Irani Mercury. (1979 chart). Fasten your seatbelts. 06.19 Venus at 27 Capricorn waning sextile Saturn at 27 Pisces 14.41 The very slowly waxing balsamic Moon at 19 Sagittarius waxing quincunx Jupiter at 19 Cancer 15.23 Venus at 28 Capricorn waning trine Uranus at 28 Taurus

We have a stellium of 'Stone ground personal planets' in Capricorn. It's short lived however. Venus leaves Capricorn tomorrow and the Moon departs Capricorn late on Sunday (GMT) after a dynamic New Moon in Capricorn weekend overseen by a close conjunction of Mercury and Mars. Big weekend ahead. Important days these.

Day of the old Moon. Venus leads the way out of the Capricorn toil and ingresses Aquarius today. This should be a very constructive and organised day, but essentially heavy duty vibrations will abound with this tight knit Capricorn energy. 08.34 Venus at 30 Capricorn waning sextile Neptune at 30 Pisces 10.04 The slowly waning ancient Moon accelerating at 11 Capricorn sextiles the her node at 11 Pisces 10.42 The Sun at 27 Capricorn waning sextile Saturn at 27 Pisces 12.45 Venus enters Aquarius as an evening star joining Pluto in this sign. She resides here for a mere 23 days. Venus is conjunct Pluto at 3 degrees Aquarius on Jan 20th, 'future days'. Venus is conjunct Mercury at 15 degrees Aquarius on Jan 29th, hopefully a 'merry meet'.

His energy is focused on 'the home' and the people, places, and memories that make us feel safe and secure. This one is 'the family way'. Jupiter in Cancer cares. Jupiter in Cancer 'expands home', it centres us on 'selfhood', our place, our world domain. It 'holds together' after the energetic flurry of Jupiter in Gemini. Jupiter in Cancer spreads peace. Not a bad thought in such a chaotic world right now. SATURN Saturn is direct and has been in Pisces from Sept 1st. Saturn's first foray into Aries lasted from 25/5/25 to 1/9/25. After returning to Pisces for 5 months he finally settles in Aries on February 14, 2026. We now have unfinished business with relinquishing, faith and sacrifice, finally putting them to bed.

Mercury, Venus, Mars and Pluto are also in Aquarius. We are in a new eclipse season with an Annular Solar Eclipse on Feb 17th. There is a Total Lunar Eclipse on March 3rd. Saturn and Neptune are in Pisces. Their unconsummated 'test of faith' conjunction, dominating most of 2025, was closest on July 14th and is exactly conjunct on Feb 20th 2026. There are 46 days to the Vernal equinox. Jupiter and Uranus are the only planets currently retrograde. Uranus turns direct late (GMT) on Wednesday. MERCURY Mercury entered Aquarius on Jan 20th joining the Moon, Sun, Venus and Pluto in this sign. Mercury resides in Aquarius for a brief 16 days. Now an evening 'star', Mercury squares Uranus on Feb 5th. Mercury leaves Aquarius for a long stint in Pisces starting on Feb 6th. Mercury in Aquarius symbolises an innovative, humanitarian, and unconventional mind, focused on progressive ideas, group dynamics, and future advancements. This is a short lived clear air. Mercury turns retrograde on Feb 26th 2026 at 22 Pisces, falling into Venus' arms again 2 days later.. Mercury retrograde periods ahead. Feb 26 to Mar 20, 2026 Jun 29 to Jul 23, 2026 Oct 24 to Nov 13 2026 Feb 9 to Mar 3, 2027 Oct 7 to Oct 28, 2027 VENUS Venus entered Aquarius on Jan 17th as an evening star. She resides here for a mere 23 days. Venus squares Uranus on Feb 8th, with agitation. Venus leaves Aquarius for Pisces on Feb 10th. This is something of a refreshing change after recent weeks of the 'Capricorn crawl'. Little sympathy around but a clearer perspective to our predicament. Her next retrograde phase is the 41 day period from Oct 3rd to Nov 14th 2026 in Scorpio and Libra. MARS Mars enters Aquarius on Jan 23rd, joining the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Pluto in this sign. He resides here for 38 days. Mars now 'does his own thing'. Mars squares Uranus on Feb 27th, a jangled vibration. Mars leaves Aquarius for Pisces on March 2nd. Mars is next retrograde from Jan 10th 2027 to April 1st 2027 in Leo/Virgo. JUPITER Jupiter is in Cancer from June 9th 2025 to June 30th 2026. He is now retrograde (from Nov 11th 2025 to March 11th 2026). Jupiter is exalted in Cancer. His energy is focused on 'the home' and the people, places, and memories that make us feel safe and secure. This one is 'the family way'. Jupiter in Cancer cares. Jupiter in Cancer 'expands home', it centres us on 'selfhood', our place, our world domain. It 'holds together' after the energetic flurry of Jupiter in Gemini. Jupiter in Cancer spreads peace. Not a bad thought in such a chaotic world right now. SATURN Saturn is direct and has been in Pisces from Sept 1st. Saturn's first foray into Aries lasted from 25/5/25 to 1/9/25. After returning to Pisces for 5 months he finally settles in Aries on February 14, 2026. We now have unfinished business with relinquishing, faith and sacrifice, finally putting them to bed. URANUS Uranus is now retrograde and back in Taurus. He first buzzed into Gemini on 7th July 2025. Uranus's initial residence in this sign was from July 7th 2025 to November 8th 2025. Uranus turns direct in Taurus on Feb 3rd 2026 and re-enters Gemini on April 25th 2026. He returns to Gemini a 6.25 year stay, leaving for Cancer on August 3rd 2032. NEPTUNE Neptune re-entered Aries on January 26, 2026, where he will remain until March 23, 2039. On January 26 Neptune entered Aries for the first time since 1875 — during which there was the American Civil War, the unification of Germany and Italy, and the rise of spiritualism and new religious movements. Essentially, this planetary transit is a time of great shifts in beliefs and opinions, in paradigms and world orders. Aries brings the pursuit of bravery, freedom, and fresh starts. However, Neptune can be tricky, illusionary and hard to pin down, so we may not see ourselves clearly, or we might struggle with clarifying what we’re really trying to change, and why. PLUTO Pluto re-entered Aquarius on Nov 19th 2024 and will remain there till the year 2043. Pluto was last in Aquarius from 1777 to 1798. UPCOMING ECLIPSES Feb 17th 2026.

THE LUNAR STANDSTILL.

The Mean Lunar Node is in Pisces. We are (very early 2026) well past the climax of a Major Lunar Standstill. This is a period lasting for three years within the 18.6 year lunar nodal cycle. The last major lunar standstill centred on June 2006, and this current one was centred on January 2025. During these years we are observing extreme northerly and southerly lunar rising and setting points on the local horizon when the Moon is in tropical Gemini/Cancer or Sagittarius/Capricorn.

This will create a potent combination for taking bold, disciplined action and is one of the hallmarks on 2026-2027. Today's aspect helps 'set the stage'. 11.43 Mars at 9 Aquarius waning tri-decile Uranus now direct in motion at 27 Taurus 19.21 Venus at 23 Aquarius waning biquintile Jupiter at 17 Cancer 20.38 The Moon at 23 Virgo waning quincunx Venus at 23 Aquarius 20.50 Venus at 23 Aquarius waning decile Saturn at 29 Pisces

Mercury resides in Pisces for a lengthy 63 days, performing his retrograde loop. Mercury trines Jupiter in Cancer 3 times during this period, conferring an optimistic, lucky fortuitous quality onto the 9 weeks. Mercury enters his shadow on Feb 11th at 8 Pisces. He makes his first trine to Jupiter on Feb 16th, the day before the Solar Eclipse. Mercury stations at 23 degrees Pisces on Feb 26th and turns retrograde. He 'falls into Venus' arms' at 22 Pisces on Feb 28th. Mercury is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 17 Pisces on March 7th. Then as a morning star he trines Jupiter a 2nd time on March 9th. Mercury is conjunct Mars on March 15th at 10 Pisces, turning thoughts into action Mercury stations direct on 20th March at degrees Pisces. Now moving direct again Mercury trines Jupiter a final time on April 3rd. He leaves his shadow on April 9th at 23 Pisces. Mercury sextiles Uranus on April 15th, with creative ingenuity. Mercury leaves Pisces for Aries on April 15th and is conjunct Neptune on the day of the Aries New Moon on April 17th. This whole period is mentally intuitive and dreamy. Thought processes are guided by intuition, empathy, and subtle, non-verbal cues. Communication expresses ideas through poetry, art, music, and fantasy. Thinking is fluid. This can lead to confusion, escapism, forgetfulness, and a tendency to be overwhelmed by emotions, but essentially this is a time for faith.

During that time Ukraine launched 'Operation Spiderweb', a large drone attack on Russian military bases. More than 40 aircraft of the Russian Air Force were attacked. Iran and Israel were at war. Iran attacked US bases in Qatar. Israel was at war with Syria. The astrology of Saturn in Aries has a focus on disciplined action, pioneering leadership, and structural changes. This transit brings karmic lessons regarding individual responsibility, courage, and self-assertion, often manifesting as intense global transformations and a need for new, bold leadership. Wars do manifest. During this residence, Saturn is conjunct Neptune on Feb 20th 2026, setting the ball rolling. Jupiter in Leo 'fire trines' Saturn in Aries 3 times, 31/8/26, 3/4/27, and 11/7/27.

Not a bad thought in such a chaotic world right now. SATURN Saturn is now direct in Aries. Saturn's first foray into Aries lasted from 25/5/25 to 1/9/25. After returning to Pisces for 5 months he finally settled in Aries on February 14, 2026. During the 2025 Saturn in Aries period Ukraine launched 'Operation Spiderweb', a large drone attack on Russian military bases. More than 40 aircraft of the Russian Air Force were attacked. Iran and Israel were at war. Iran attacked US bases in Qatar. Israel was at war with Syria. The astrology of Saturn in Aries has a focus on disciplined action, pioneering leadership, and structural changes. This transit brings karmic lessons regarding individual responsibility, courage, and self-assertion, often manifesting as intense global transformations and a need for new, bold leadership. Wars do manifest. During this residence, Saturn is conjunct Neptune on Feb 20th 2026, setting the ball rolling. Jupiter in Leo 'fire trines' Saturn in Aries 3 times, 31/8/26, 3/4/27, and 11/7/27. This is very courageous. Saturn sextiles Pluto once, March 28th 2026, this signals a transformational tome for global structures, focusing on reforming power dynamics and strengthening foundations. Mars conjuncts Saturn at 8 Aries on 19/4/26, a very forceful time with a planetary stellium in Aries. Saturn leaves Aries for Taurus on April 12th 2028. Saturn in Aries forces us to build personal authority and take responsibility. Aries fire forges steel. URANUS Uranus is now direct in Taurus. He first buzzed into Gemini on 7th July 2025. Uranus's initial residence in this sign was from July 7th 2025 to November 8th 2025. Uranus re-enters Gemini on April 25th 2026 for a 6.25 year stay, leaving for Cancer on August 3rd 2032. The period of Uranus in Taurus, 2018 to 2026, has coincided with severe weather events around the world and the rise of right wing populist politics, (similar to the 1930s). NEPTUNE Neptune re-entered Aries on January 26, 2026, where he will remain until March 23, 2039. On January 26 Neptune entered Aries for the first time since 1875-during which there was the American Civil War, the unification of Germany and Italy, and the rise of spiritualism and new religious movements. Essentially, this planetary transit is a time of great shifts in beliefs and opinions, in paradigms and world orders. Aries brings the pursuit of bravery, freedom, and fresh starts. However, Neptune can be tricky, illusionary and hard to pin down, so we may not see ourselves clearly, or we might struggle with clarifying what we're really trying to change, and why. PLUTO Pluto re-entered Aquarius on Nov 19th 2024 and will remain there till the year 2043. Pluto was last in Aquarius from 1777 to 1798. Pluto in Aquarius will revolutionize society, technology, and collective power structures. This era marks a shift from Capricorn's top-down, traditional control toward Aquarian-driven horizontal power, emphasizing AI, digital rights, and, crucially, the 'power of the people'. UPCOMING ECLIPSES Feb 17th 2026. An Annular Solar Eclipse at 29 Aquarius visible from Antarctica. The eclipsed Sun is square Uranus. A tense event. March 2nd-3rd 2026. A Total Lunar Eclipse at 13 Virgo visible from the Pacific, North West America and North East Asia. The eclipsed Moon is sextile Jupiter. A 'lucky break' eclipse. Aug 12th 2026. A Total Solar Eclipse at 20 Leo visible from Europe(far northwest Spain, low at sunset), quintile Uranus. Electric Avenue. Aug 28th-29th 2026 A Partial Lunar Eclipse at 5 Pisces visible from Europe, Africa and America, opposite Mercury. Magic mirror on the soul. Feb 6th 2027 An annular Solar Eclipse at 17 Aquarius. Feb 21st 2027 A penumbral lunar eclipse at 3 Virgo. Aug 2nd 2027 TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE at 11 Leo. ECLIPSE OF THE CENTURY. ONE YOU MUST NOT MISS. Aug 17th 2027 A Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius. THE LUNAR STANDSTILL.

The Mean Lunar Node is in Pisces. We are (very early 2026) well past the climax of a Major Lunar Standstill. This is a period lasting for three years within the 18.6 year lunar nodal cycle. The last major lunar standstill centred on June 2006, and this current one was centred on January 2025. During these years we are observing extreme northerly and southerly lunar rising and setting points on the local horizon when the Moon is in tropical Gemini/Cancer or Sagittarius/Capricorn.

Today is the last day of the astrological month of Aquarius. The Sun enters Pisces tomorrow. 09.41 The Moon at 28 Aquarius waning square Uranus at 28 Taurus 09.56 ECLIPSE SEQUENCE STARTS 12.02 Moment of NEW MOON. The Moon is void of course for 2.15 hours. 12.11:47 MOMENT OF GREATEST ECLIPSE The eclipsed Sun is square Uranus. Today's eclipse occurs at a time when Saturn and Neptune are almost exactly conjunct at zero Aries, The Sun and Moon are square Uranus. Mercury trines Jupiter. Fixed Air and Water predominate. Mutable Earth is at a low. The eclipse is on the Venus/Mars and Mars/Node midpoints. This is an eclipse of surprise and unlooked for outcome. This eclipse energises relationships and friendships. The quality of the time is future proof. This one is modern, effervescent, future looking, shocking. At the moment of greatest eclipse it is Sunrise over Niagara Falls and Washington. Sunset is at Omsk. Moonrise is at Washington DC. Moonset is at at Omsk. It is High Noon over The Norwegian Sea and True midnight over The Far North Pacific. The Sun and Moon are conjunct the MC at Paris and London, Saturn and Neptune (their conjunction dominates this eclipse, are aligned to Shanghai, Taipei and Kiev, and square the ascendant at London, Mars rises at Cincinnati, Jupiter sets at Tokyo and Brisbane, Pluto sets at Tehran. The Saros Series of the eclipse. Today's eclipse is member 61 of the 71 eclipses which make up Saros Series 121. This series is in its old age. The series started on April 25th in the year 944 AD. The chart of the central eclipse moment for this first eclipse in the series is displayed below. Astrological chart for Saros Solar 121. This chart is dominated by a planetary kite involving a fire triangle of Mars, Jupiter and Neptune and an exact Venus Mars opposition. The eclipse is conjunct a retrograde Mercury, and Saturn is conjunct Uranus. This Saros has a solid pioneering energy. This Saros wants to fly. The Saros Series 'went Total' in the year 1070, the longest Total eclipse was in 1629 and the last Total eclipse in the series was in 1809. The previous eclipses in the Saros were Feb 7th 2008, Jan 26th 1990, Jan 16th 1972, Jan 5th 1954 and Dec. 14th 1917. Recent eclipses may have a connection with air crashes, storms and national independence struggles. After today's event there is only one more annular eclipse in the Saros. The next eclipse in the Saros is in early March 2044. The series ends in 2206. Today's eclipse directly hits the USA Moon, Donald Trump's Descendant, Afghanistan's Uranus (1919 chart), Hezbollah's Sun, Palestine's Descendant, Kim Jon Un's power chart's Neptune, the Dow Jones' node, the James Webb Telescope's Jupiter, and the Saturns of Ariana Legrande, Kamala Harris and Harry Kane.It opposes Ukraine's Venus, Qatar's Mercury, and North Korea's Saturn. And from Marjorie Orr..At the risk of overdosing on Trump and raising tensions further_there is an astrological hotspot approaching which connects the February 17th Solar Eclipse at 28 degrees Aquarius square Uranus to many of the White House acolytes. The eclipsed New Moon relocated to Washington DC sits exactly on the Ascendant, hinting that even more than usual (!!) the US seat of government will be the focus of global attention. Donald Trump has his Mars in Leo opposed by the Solar Eclipse which sits on his Descendant suggesting his already unstable temper will get the better of him as his 'full speed ahead' Mars goes into overdrive, picking fights wherever he goes. It can lead in addition to heated arguments to physical exhaustion; contusions; accidents and illness. Sitting on his Descendant, hints at a need to rethink his approach to relationships. The Solar Eclipse is also conjunct the USA Sibly country chart Aquarius Moon (and conjunct the Solar Arc Mars). This will brings up the past for America and is a time of testing the foundations on which present stability is built. Public image comes under scrutiny so criticism will be likely where there are failing. The country may be at tipping point with a good deal of anger spilling out. The USA Congress also has the Solar Eclipse conjunct its Mars so there may be more pushback from that quarter. Like Trump, J.D. Vance also has the Eclipse conjunct his Descendant for a hard look at his close relationships with a challenge to alter his approach. Many of the close circle will also be rattled up in coming months-eclipses run up in effect before the due date and cover the coming six months. Susie Wiles has the eclipse opposition her Pluto, as does Steve Witkoff, Stephen Bannon, and John Roberts of the Supreme Court. Usually this brings major challenges and a need for change which will probably initially be resisted. The hint is transform or wither in decay. With a further possible dimension which is involvement in controlling relationships difficult to disengage from with a heavy cost involved. Jared and Ivanka Kushner both have their Uranus being squared by the eclipse, as does Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel. This suggests changes and unforeseen circumstances over which they have no control. A sudden letting go of everything that is old and useless. Nervy. Scott Bessent, Karoline Leavitt have the eclipse opposing their Sun which usually brings a crisis with a necessity to face the fact they have been wrong. Prompts a complete rethink of attitudes which if ignored will bring consequences. Eric Trump has the eclipse conjunct his Moon which will make him feel he is standing on very shaky ground. Melania has her Venus in late Taurus being squared by the eclipse for an emotional upset. Other eclipse targets include NATO with the eclipse opposition the Sun. ICE with the eclipse conjunct their Uranus. Israel will also be in the firing line of the eclipse with their Mars in Leo and Netanyahu's Mars in Leo both being opposed by the eclipse. So there may be a flare up there. Iran's Pluto (opp Mars) will also be squared by the eclipse. It is usually a mistake to joint too many dots together and assume all of the above eclipse aspects are being triggered by the same event. J.D. Vance's wife has just announced her pregnancy with their fourth child so his eclipse on the Descendant could be part of that. Melania may be unnerved by her documentary not turning out to be the hit of the decade. But it certainly does seem to be affecting Trump and his nearest so worth reviewing as it rolls through. Ukraine is not looking overly cheerful in relation to the February eclipse. The 1918 country chart has an emotionally upsetting conjunction to its Venus. The 1991 chart has the eclipse opposition Mercury in Leo and the zero degree Virgo Sun which points to a crisis. The eclipse relocated to Kiev has a frustrating stuck Mars in the 8th and a hopeful though worrisome Saturn Neptune conjunct the Midheaven. Zelensky's personal chart has the eclipse opposition his Saturn in Leo which could dent his confidence and reputation and he may be landed with extra responsibilities and blame for the actions of underlings. Others with Saturn in late Leo getting a similar message are Tim Waltz and Amal Alamuddin (George Clooney's wife). And Belgium. Three with the eclipse in hard aspect to their Jupiter are Bill Gates (Jupiter Pluto conjunction in Leo), Peter Thiel and Tony Blair. The temptation to over extend will loom large and they could be their own greatest enemy though will blame others when things go wrong. Luck will come and then disappear. Learning trust will be vital (as will avoiding the untrustworthy). Bill Clinton has the eclipse opposition his late Leo Sun as he faces the fact that he is not always right and is prompted to undergo a personal re-evaluation. NATO with a 1 degree Virgo Sun is facing the same. Alan Dershowtiz with his Mars in late Leo will be on argumentative form as his anger is sparked. The Russia 1917 chart also has the eclipse opposition the Moon and Mars which will be emotionally unsettling internally as well as angry and combative. Keir Starmer and Ghislaine Maxwell both have the eclipse opposition their Uranus-which can bring an opportunity for greater personal freedom, though if ducked will bring the opposite in terms of limitations. 14.11 The Moon enters Pisces joining Mercury and Venus in this sign.

We have entered an eclipse fortnight and we are in the wake of yesterday's Annular Solar Eclipse in Aquarius. These are sensitive hours. A 'lucky break' Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo occurs on March 3rd. The infant Moon, Venus and the lunar node form a tight triple conjunction this morning (GMT) at 10 degrees Pisces. We are now immersed in the unfathomable ocean that is the Pisces month. Given the opportunity there is a gentle and dreamy quality to proceedings today. 02.49 Venus conjunction the lunar node at 10 Pisces 07.32 The new infant accelerating Moon conjunction the lunar node at 10 Pisces 07.29 Closest conjunction Moon and Venus 0.33 degree (UK times and angle). 08.02 The Moon conjunction Venus at 10 Pisces 13.05 Mars at 21 Aquarius waning novile Saturn at 1 Aries 14.38 Venus at 10 Pisces waxing decile Pluto at 4 Aquarius 15.54 The Sun enters Pisces and a new astrological month begins. 18.31 The Moon at 16 Pisces waning trine Jupiter at 16 Cancer 18.35Mars at 21 Aquarius waning novile Neptune at 1 Aries 23.09 The Moon conjunction Mercury at 18 Pisces

Saturn conjunct Neptune (the collapse of illusions, the spiritualisation of systems, the materialisation of dreams), in the first degree of Aries. A one off event. Dream a new reality. Make your dream a reality. The last conjunction of these two planets was in 1989 in Capricorn, coinciding with the fall of the Berlin Wall (November 1989), the progressive dissolution of the Soviet Union, end of the cold war, and the transition to a new world order. The last Saturn/Neptune Conjunction in Aries was in 1703 during the War of the Spanish succession which marked the beginning of Britain as a dominant European and eventually global power. It also saw the founding of St Petersburg and the Great Storm of 1703 that devastated southern England. Their last conjunction in the first degree of Aries was on March 3rd 4361 BC at the very dawn of civilization at the end of the Neolithic age, (end of the new stone age), the start of the megalithic age and the building of the great stone circles, the spread of proto writing and the invention of the wheel for pottery. Today's conjunction in the first degree of Aries marks a similarly important evolutionary and historical epoch. Sun in Pisces, Moon in Aries. I believe and I am. 00.52 Mars at 22 Aquarius waning biquintile Jupiter at 16 Cancer 03.09 The young Moon accelerating at 4 Aries waxing sextile Pluto at 4 Aquarius 16.53 Saturn conjunction Neptune at 1 Aries 20.14 Closest conjunction Saturn and Neptune 0.83 degree (UK times and angle). 22.50 The Moon at 16 Aries waning square Jupiter at 16 Cancer

The world has moved on. Iran is braced for war. UK royalty is tottering as ex-Prince Andrew and his Epstein related arrest has started a monumental global rock fall. President Trump challenged by the Supreme Court on one hand, his tariff imposition methods struck down, is releasing, with the other hand, alien file distractions and Iran war talk distractions, a seemingly desperate ploy hoping to avert the inevitable. We are deeply immersed in an eclipse fortnight with a Total Lunar Eclipse in 'devil in the detail' Virgo sextile a 'lucky break' Jupiter, now just 11 days away. Mercury slowing to a standstill next Thursday turns retrograde and falls into Venus' arms early next Saturday preceded by a violently shocking Mars square Uranus. All the fun of the fair in the days ahead. 01.58 The Moon reaches her waxing crescent phase 11.12 The Moon accelerating at 23 Aries waxing sextile Mars at 23 Aquarius. The Moon is void of course for 12.25 hours 21.15 Venus at 14 Pisces waxing novile Pluto at 4 Aquarius 23.33 The Moon enters Taurus joining Uranus in this sign.

Hopefully some pleasant and comforting astrological vibrations will manifest today as a soft and gentle Venus in Pisces trines a 'homely home' Jupiter in Cancer. Luxury, comfort, romance and abundance may manifest with this aspect. The Moon in Taurus offers steadfast support. 10 days to a Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo. 05.41 The waxing and accelerating crescent Moon at 4 Taurus sextile The Sun at 4 Pisces 06.57 The Moon at 4 Taurus waxing square Pluto at 4 Aquarius 15.32 The Moon at 9 Taurus waxing sextile the lunar node at 9 Pisces 20.03 Venus at 16 Pisces waning trine Jupiter at 16 Cancer 21.53 Venus at 16 Pisces waning quintile Uranus at 28 Taurus 23.50 The Sun at 4 Pisces waxing semi-sextile Pluto at 4 Aquarius

(ALL TIMES ON THIS SITE ARE GMT.) We are in the midst of an eclipse fortnight. There is a Total Lunar Eclipse on March 3rd. Mercury turns retrograde on Thursday. The Sun today is at 5 degrees Pisces. Mercury and Venus are also in Pisces. Mars and Pluto are in Aquarius. The Moon and Uranus are in Taurus. Saturn and Neptune are in Aries. There are 25 days to the Vernal equinox. Jupiter is the only planet currently retrograde but Mercury turns retrograde in 3 days time. MERCURY Mercury entered Pisces as an evening star on Feb 6th joining Saturn in this sign. Mercury resides in Pisces for a lengthy 63 days, performing his retrograde loop. Mercury trines Jupiter in Cancer 3 times during this period, conferring an optimistic, lucky fortuitous quality onto the 9 weeks. Mercury entered his shadow on Feb 11th. Mercury stations at 23 degrees Pisces on Feb 26th and turns retrograde. He 'falls into Venus' arms' at 22 Pisces on Feb 28th. Mercury is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun at 17 Pisces on March 7th. Then as a morning star he trines Jupiter a 2nd time on March 9th. Mercury is conjunct Mars on March 15th at 10 Pisces, turning thoughts into action. Mercury stations direct on 20th March at 8 degrees Pisces. Now moving direct again, Mercury trines Jupiter a final time on April 3rd. He leaves his shadow on April 9th at 23 Pisces. Mercury sextiles Uranus on April 15th, with creative ingenuity. Mercury leaves Pisces for Aries on April 15th and is conjunct Neptune on the day of the Aries New Moon on April 17th. This whole period is mentally intuitive and dreamy. Thought processes are guided by intuition, empathy, and subtle, non-verbal cues. Communication expresses ideas through poetry, art, music, and fantasy. Thinking is fluid. This can lead to confusion, escapism, forgetfulness, and a tendency to be overwhelmed by emotions, but essentially this is a time for faith. Mercury retrograde periods ahead. Feb 26 to Mar 20, 2026 Jun 29 to Jul 23, 2026 Oct 24 to Nov 13 2026 Feb 9 to Mar 3, 2027 Oct 7 to Oct 28, 2027 VENUS Venus entered Pisces on Feb 10th as an evening star. She resides in this sign for a brief 22 days. This is a happy residence. Short, tender and sweet. Venus is conjunct retrograde Mercury at 22 Pisces on Feb 28th with more dreams of merriment. Venus sextiles Uranus on March 4th with ongoing excitement. Venus leaves Pisces for Aries on March 6th. Her next retrograde phase is the 41 day period from Oct 3rd to Nov 14th 2026 in Scorpio and Libra. MARS Mars entered Aquarius on Jan 23rd. He resides here for 38 days. Mars now 'does his own thing'. Mars squares Uranus on Feb 27th, a jangled vibration. Mars leaves Aquarius for Pisces on March 2nd. Mars is next retrograde from Jan 10th 2027 to April 1st 2027 in Leo/Virgo. JUPITER Jupiter is in Cancer from June 9th 2025 to June 30th 2026. He is now retrograde (from Nov 11th 2025 to March 11th 2026). Jupiter is exalted in Cancer. His energy is focused on 'the home' and the people, places, and memories that make us feel safe and secure. This one is 'the family way'. Jupiter in Cancer cares. Jupiter in Cancer 'expands home', it centres us on 'selfhood', our place, our world domain. It 'holds together' after the energetic flurry of Jupiter in Gemini. Jupiter in Cancer spreads peace. Not a bad thought in such a chaotic world right now. SATURN Saturn is now direct in Aries. Saturn's first foray into Aries lasted from 25/5/25 to 1/9/25. After returning to Pisces for 5 months he finally settled in Aries on February 14, 2026. During the 2025 Saturn in Aries period Ukraine launched 'Operation Spiderweb', a large drone attack on Russian military bases. More than 40 aircraft of the Russian Air Force were attacked. Iran and Israel were at war. Iran attacked US bases in Qatar. Israel was at war with Syria.

Uranus's initial residence in this sign was from July 7th 2025 to November 8th 2025. Uranus re-enters Gemini on April 25th 2026 for a 6.25 year stay, leaving for Cancer on August 3rd 2032. The period of Uranus in Taurus, 2018 to 2026, has coincided with severe weather events around the world and the rise of right wing populist politics, (similar to the 1930s). NEPTUNE Neptune re-entered Aries on January 26, 2026, where he will remain until March 23, 2039. On January 26 Neptune entered Aries for the first time since 1875-during which there was the American Civil War, the unification of Germany and Italy, and the rise of spiritualism and new religious movements. Essentially, this planetary transit is a time of great shifts in beliefs and opinions, in paradigms and world orders. Aries brings the pursuit of bravery, freedom, and fresh starts. However, Neptune can be tricky, illusionary and hard to pin down, so we may not see ourselves clearly, or we might struggle with clarifying what we're really trying to change, and why. PLUTO Pluto re-entered Aquarius on Nov 19th 2024 and will remain there till the year 2043. Pluto was last in Aquarius from 1777 to 1798.

The Mean Lunar Node is in Pisces. We are (early 2026) approaching the end of a Major Lunar Standstill. This is a period lasting for three years within the 18.6 year lunar nodal cycle. The last major lunar standstill centred on June 2006, and this current one was centred on January 2025. During these years we are observing extreme northerly and southerly lunar rising and setting points on the local horizon when the Moon is in tropical Gemini/Cancer or Sagittarius/Capricorn. The next Minor standstill is 2034 and the next Magor standstill is in 2043.
