No fooling here. April 2024 witnesses a few significant astrological events. The USA Total Eclipse of the Sun occurs on April 8th with a promise of clearer futures. Two days later on April 10th we have a day dominated by a resounding triple conjunction of the Moon, Jupiter and Uranus at 20-22 degrees Taurus and a sharp conjunction of Mars and Saturn on the same day, in Pisces. Jupiter is conjunct Uranus at 22 degrees Taurus on April 21st, a consciousness raising event of great importance. The last time this conjunction happened in Taurus was on 8th May 1941. (World War 2 was raging. The German auxiliary cruiser Pinguin was sunk by British cruiser HMS Cornwall in the Indian Ocean. The following day May 9 1941 the German submarine U-110 was captured by the British Royal Navy. On board was the latest Enigma cryptography machine, which Allied cryptographers later used to break coded German messages-so very significant developments in the destiny of nations happened at that time. The Full Moon in Scorpio occurs 2 days later on April 23rd. This Full Moon squares Pluto and applies opposite the tight conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus, colouring the lunation with an intensity of will and purpose. Last and by no means least, Mars has a near linear alignment with Neptune at 29 degrees Pisces on April 29th, a veritable blast of mystical assertion. 00.16 The disseminating Moon accelerating at 28 Sagittarius waning square Neptune at 28 Pisces. The Moon is void of course for nearly 4 hours 04.07 The Moon enters Capricorn 17.49 The Moon at 8 Capricorn waning sextile Mars at 8 Pisces 22.06 MERCURY TURNS RETROGRADE FOR 25 DAYS STATE OF THE SKY:- The Sun today is at 12 degrees Aires. Mercury is also in Aries. Venus, Mars, Saturn and Neptune are in Pisces, (Saturn and Neptune apply in a 'test of faith' conjunction, exact Feb 2026 at 1 degree Aries). Jupiter and Uranus are in Taurus, they apply in 'consciousness raising' conjunction, exact April 24th 2024 at 22 degrees Taurus. We are now in the depths of an eclipse fortnight between a Penumbral lunar Eclipse at 5 degrees Libra last Monday March 25th and a Total Solar Eclipse at 19 Aries on April 8th. All the planets are currently direct in motion but Mercury turns retrograde today. MERCURY Mercury entered Aries on March 10th. He is in retrograde motion from today April 1st. Mercury's retrograde phase occurs whilst he resides in Aries this year, resulting in a lengthy 66 day residence from March 10th to May 15th. Mercury in Aries represents a universal mentality that is quick to learn, quick to decide, witty, direct, candid and enthusiastic. The retrograde phase results in Mercury being conjunct Chiron 3 times during this period. Words can wound and words can heal at these times. Mercury turns retrograde on April 1st at 27 Aries. He is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun on April 11th at 23 Aries, a seed moment, a New Mercury and the start of a new chapter in the story. Then as a morning star Mercury is conjunct Chiron a 2nd time at 18 Aries on April 15th. Mercury is overtaken by Venus on April 19th at 18 Aries, hopefully a merry meet. Mercury stations direct on April 25th at 16 Aries just 2 days after the Full Moon. Mercury is conjunct Chiron a final time on May 7th at 21 Aries. Mercury leaves his shadow on May 13th and finally leaves Aries for Taurus on May 15th. The next 6 weeks will see inflammable communications. Mercury retrograde periods this year. April 1 to April 25, 2024 August 5 to August 28, 2024 November 25 to December 15, 2024 VENUS Morning star Venus entered Pisces on 11th March joining Saturn and Neptune in this sign. She swims through this sign in a very brief and favourable 26 days. Venus is conjunct Neptune at 28 Pisces on April 3rd, with love's mystery. Venus leaves Pisces for Aries on April 5th. Venus' next retrograde period is from 2nd March to 14th April 2025 in Aries and Pisces. MARS Mars entered Pisces on 22nd March joining Venus, Saturn and Neptune in this sign. Mars resides here for an eventful 39 days. Mars, when in Pisces, has his natural assertive fire dampened somewhat. This sign sees Mars at his most gentle and he can be a little dithery. Mars is conjunct Saturn at 15 Pisces on April 10th, the cosmos rings out a note of somber tenor. Mars is sextile both Jupiter and Uranus at 22 Pisces on April 19th, indicating important events at this time, (the 2 gas giants are conjunct on April 21st). Mars is conjunct Neptune at 29 degrees Pisces, deep and unfathomable on April 29th. Mars enters Aries on May Eve April 30th, sparking things up after 30 days of wading through deep waters. Mars is next retrograde from Dec 6th 2024 to Feb 24th 2025 being at opposition to the Sun at 26 degrees Cancer on Jan 16th 2025. JUPITER Jupiter is now direct in Taurus. Jupiter in Taurus boosts our awareness of establishing ourselves and building upon what we have and hold. It fosters stability, security and provision. The year long residence is a time during which we can establish and ground ourselves, building on what we have. Clear goals, robust plans and tangible results are the qualities of this placement. Jupiter is conjunct Uranus on April 21st 2024 at 22 degrees Taurus. This is the highlight of the year long residence and has a nurturing, productive and consciousness raising quality, a good one. Jupiter sextiles Neptune on May 23rd 2024. This is a very creative and artistic vibration. Jupiter leaves Taurus for the sign Gemini on May 25th 2024, opening up a new flow of information and communication, residing there for a year. He then makes a momentous 'air trine' with Pluto on June 2nd, one of the optimistic hallmarks of 2024. He makes the first of 3 'tackling problems head on' squares to Saturn on Aug 19th. Jupiter then turns retrograde on Oct 9th at 21 degrees Gemini. SATURN Saturn is direct in Pisces. Saturn in Pisces is all about endings, karma, suffering, forgiveness, massacre, peace protests, ocean and sea-going matters, mathematical discovery, imaginative art forms, renunciation and 'moving on' (as this is the last sign in the zodiac, symbolic of a chapter reaching completion). When Saturn, planet of structure and boundaries, moves through this dreamy and transcendent zodiac sign, it evokes the creation of 'distancing from the past and an embrace with what the future holds'. Things can get weird at times. The three-year Saturn in Pisces cycle, which lasts until February 14, 2026, (minus the interval 25/5/25 to 1/9/25) will morph the tangible into the virtual. Mars is conjunct Saturn at 15 Pisces on April 10th 2024, 2 days after the great American Total Solar eclipse. Jupiter in Gemini, squares Saturn on Aug 19th 2024 and on 24th Dec 2024, (also a 3rd time in June 2025 when Saturn has entered Aries), challenging times when 'growth' manifests with compassion a little thin on the ground. Saturn in Pisces sextiles Uranus in Taurus on April 4th 2025, a positive vibration of solid progress and invention. Saturn is conjunct the mean lunar node at 27 Pisces on April 23rd 2025. URANUS Uranus the planet of inspiration and revolution is direct in Taurus, the sign of enduring institution and banking. Uranus remains in Taurus from 2019 for 7 years. Massive changes in the world of finance, currency, resource and ownership are taking place. The last time Uranus resided in Taurus was between 1934 and 1941 and before that 1850 to 1859 the time of the Industrial Revolution. Uranus first buzzes into Gemini on 7th July 2025. NEPTUNE Neptune is now direct in Pisces. He has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. PLUTO Pluto made his first foray into Aquarius (March 23rd 2023 to June 11th 2023). Pluto re-entered Aquarius a 2nd time on January 21st 2024. After hovering for a while around the cusp of Aquarius, Pluto will settle into the sign from Nov 19th 2024 till the year 2043. There will be gigantic changes brought about by this 20 year residence. The life we have known will be transformed. There will be a manifestation of the full potential of technology, a new revolution is ahead of us. We had a taste of this future (note all the fuss about AI earlier in 2023). Pluto in Aquarius 2023 to 2044. Dates:- March 23rd 2023 to June 11th 2023 January 21st 2024 to September 1st 2024 November 19th 2024 to March 9th 2043 September 1st 2043 to January 19th 2044 Pluto was last in Aquarius from 1777 to 1798. He entered Capricorn on Jan 26th 2008 Uranus in Gemini will air trine Pluto from 2026 to 2028. This is the most exciting time ahead, astrologically speaking. Saturn in Aries will sextile Pluto in 2026 and square Pluto 3 times during 2028-2029. Saturn in Gemini will air trine Pluto once in 2031 and oppose Pluto from Leo three times during 2035-2037 . Saturn in Libra will trine Pluto once in 2041. Jupiter will conjunct Pluto just once at 15 degrees Aquarius on April 2nd 2033. Jupiter will oppose Pluto once on July 20th 2026 and then three times in the period 2038-2039. There will be an Annular eclipse of the Sun on Jan 26th 2028 within a degree of Pluto at 6 degrees Aquarius. There will be a Total Lunar Eclipse on Aug 7th 2036 at 15 degrees Aquarius just 4 degrees from Pluto. UPCOMING ECLIPSES April 8th 2024. The American Total Solar Eclipse at 19 Aries. Sept 18th 2024.

The Lunar Node is in Aries. We are in 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 new one centres in January 2025. During the next 3 years we will observe extreme northerly and southerly lunar rising and setting points on the local horizon when the Moon is in tropical Gemini/Cancer or Sagittarius/Capricorn. A 'standstill Full Moon' occurs on the day of the Northern Hemisphere Summer Solstice, June 21st 2024.

OUTER PLANET ingresses Over the next 2 years all 3 outer planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto will enter new signs. Pluto enters Aquarius 2023-2024. Neptune enters Aries and Uranus enters Gemini 2025-2026. This mass modulation from negative to positive energy, earth to air, water to fire, will inaugurate significant changes and accelerate 21st century evolution. We can however expect 'difficult transitions' with such an intense modulation of energy, not without danger.

Today is the 'Cardinal Last Quarter Moon day', with Mercury now retrograde. a dynamic 'crisis in consciousness'. Tomorrow Venus is conjunct Neptune in Pisces which colours today and tomorrow with idealism, imagination and dreamy perceptives. However the Moon in Capricorn, (gaining only very low altitudes in northern hemisphere skies and very high altitudes in the south) keeps a tight and realistic grip on events and experiences. 01.20 Venus at 26 Pisces waning septile Jupiter at 18 Taurus 02.53 Mars at 8 Pisces waxing decile Pluto at 2 Aquarius 03.15 The Moon at Last Quarter 04.47 The accelerating Moon at 14 Capricorn waning sextile Saturn at 14 Pisces 08.46 The Moon at 16 Capricorn squares her node from deep south of the equator. 11.44 The Moon at 18 Capricorn waning trine Jupiter at 18 Taurus 17.20 The Moon at 21 Capricorn waning trine Uranus at 21 Taurus 20.59 retro-evening star Mercury at 27 Aries waxing semi-sextile morning star Venus at 27 Pisces

A 'love dream' day with Venus conjunct Neptune in Pisces. This is the penultimate conjunction of these two planets in Pisces, just one more next year, then none 'till the year 2176. Neptune is the higher octave of Venus. Venus is personal love, Neptune is universal love. Put the two together in Pisces and you have multiversal love. Not so with Israel and Iran. Iran's Revolutionary Guards say seven officers were killed on Easter Monday (April 1st 2024) in an Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate building in Syria's capital, Damascus. Monday's attack is seen as a serious escalation in the current conflict. Transiting Neptune is conjunct the Iran (April 1st! 1979) chart 8th house Mercury 3 times in 2024. These two planets are in square aspect in the chart so the current transit indicates a difficult and chaotic confusion in the country's direction. There is much more to follow for Iran over the next few years, with Saturn Uranus and Neptune transiting several sensitive points in the said chart. 02.42 The Sun at 14 Aries waxing semi-sextile Saturn at 14 Pisces 04.12 The Moon at 27 Capricorn waning square retro-Mercury at 27 Aries 04.12 The Sun at 14 Aries waxing quintile Pluto at 2 Aquarius 04.59 The Moon at 28 Capricorn waning sextile Venus at 28 Pisces 05.41 The Moon at 28 Capricorn waning sextile Neptune at 28 Pisces.

Pressure is mounting on Israel after seven people working for food aid charity 'World Central Kitchen' were killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza. The charity's founder Jose Andreas accuses Israeli forces in Gaza of targeting the workers 'systematically, car by car'.Israel's prime minister said 'this happens in war'. Benjamin Netanyahu was born on Oct 21st 1949. There was a partial solar eclipse in Libra that day. This year 2024 he has a progressed Full Moon, an astrological event which symbolises a point in time where you have 'gone as far as you can', a climax of sorts, and an inevitable slow start to a withdrawal into oneself following a full exposition in the world. I guess he will pull out, be pushed out, or step down, before too long. 4 days to the Total Solar Eclipse. 05.40 The Sun at 15 Aries waning decile Uranus at 21 Taurus 10.45 The post last quarter Moon accelerating at 15 Aquarius waning sextile The Sun at 15 Aries 11.57 The Moon at 16 Aquarius sextiles her node from south of the equator 15.44 The Moon at 18 Aquarius waning square Jupiter at 18 Taurus 19.11 Venus at 30 Pisces waning septile Uranus at 21 Taurus 20.25 The Moon at 21 Aquarius waning square Uranus at 21 Taurus

We are deep in an eclipse season 3 days from the American Total Solar Eclipse. Jupiter is less than 3 degrees from Uranus.

Venus overtakes retrograde Mercury at 18 degrees Aries on April 19th, a hot, eventful, and potentially merry meet. Venus leaves Aries for Taurus on April 29th. Venus is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun at 14 degrees Gemini on June 4th. Venus' next retrograde period is from 2nd March to 14th April 2025 in Aries and Pisces. 05.40 The old but accelerating Moon at 27 Aquarius waning sextile retro-Mercury at 27 Aries.

07.11 The Sun at 19 Aries waning semi-sextile Jupiter at 19 Taurus 08.55 Venus at 4 Aries waning semi-square Jupiter at 19 Taurus 12.23 The Moon at 16 Aries conjunction the lunar node at 16 Aries 15.42 ECLIPSE SEQUENCE STARTS 18.17 GREATEST ECLIPSE 18.22 Moment of NEW MOON 20.52 ECLIPSE SEQUENCE ENDS The Great American Total Solar Eclipse is dominated by two applying planetary conjunctions- Mars applying to Saturn (1.25 degrees apart) and Jupiter applying to Uranus (2 degrees apart). The Mars Saturn conjunction in Pisces has ominous connotation. The Jupiter Uranus conjunction in Taurus evokes the establishment of a new consciousness expansion, a new reality. These two conjunctions in these particular signs last occurred in 1831 BC and will not occur again in ten thousand years. At the moment of maximum eclipse today Mars and Saturn have just passed the Midheaven of the West Coast of USA and Canada. They are conjunct the ascendant of Central and East Australia. They are setting over Recife Brazil and are on the IC of Iran. At the same moment Jupiter and Uranus have just risen over Honolulu. They are on the MC of South America, on the IC of Beijing and setting over Syria and Israel. At the eclipse moment Sunrise and Moonrise are over Tuvalu. Sunset and Moonset are at St.Helena. It is High Noon at Minneapolis and True Midnight at Mount Everest. Jupiter rises over The Lena delta Today's eclipse at 19 Aries directly hits the USA Chiron, the Moon of the New York Stock Exchange, the Venus of Yemen, Zardari Asif Ali, George Clooney and Pete Townshend, the Jupiter of Hammas, the Uranus of Liberia, the Neptune of Germany, the Pluto of Hong Kong, the London MC of the Bit Coin chart, the lunar node of Nato, Daniel Craig and Brian Cox (Professor). The eclipse opposes Xi Jinping's and Vladimir Putin's Saturn and Neptune, Donald Trump's Jupiter, Isis's Venus, Rishi Sunak's Pluto, Iran's Pluto, Palestine's Venus. It squares the UK Moon and Hezbollah's Moon and sextiles Gaza's Uranus. The USA Chiron is very interesting. The country is undergoing a Chiron return this year and today's eclipse is conjunct this placement. The connection here is one of healing very severe wounds. We can conclude that the Baltimore Bridge collapse on March 26th 2024 and the New York Earthquake on 5th April 2024 are both woven into the spooky destiny of this current eclipse season. Solar Saros series 139 Today's eclipse belongs to Saros series 139. It is the 30th eclipse of a total of 71 eclipses. The first eclipse of the Saros Series was a partial Solar Eclipse in arctic regions on May 17th 1501 (central eclipse time 03:27:44 UT). The series finishes on July 3rd 2763 AD. This Saros series 'went total' in 1861 and today's eclipse is the 11th total eclipse of the series. The climax of this Saros is in 2186 AD, so this family of eclipses is currently in the prime of its life, strong vibrant and powerful and approaching fulfillment The first eclipse of the series (back in 1501) was an 'airy event' in Gemini, (with Saturn and Mercury) tightly square Uranus in Pisces , conjunct Saturn in Gemini and loosely opposite Pluto in Scorpio. The energy and tone of the entire series has a 'critical but breezey' edge. It invokes movement, communication, avant garde, and restlessness. The last 3 eclipses in the series were on March 29th 2006, Twitter was launched 8 days before the eclipse, March 1988, and March 1970. The 1970 eclipse occurred 2 days after the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty came into effect, signed by over 50 nations. STATE OF THE SKY:- The Sun today is at 19 degrees Aires.

Dates:- March 23rd 2023 to June 11th 2023 January 21st 2024 to September 1st 2024 November 19th 2024 to March 9th 2043 September 1st 2043 to January 19th 2044 Pluto was last in Aquarius from 1777 to 1798. He entered Capricorn on Jan 26th 2008 Uranus in Gemini will air trine Pluto from 2026 to 2028. This is the most exciting time ahead, astrologically speaking. Saturn in Aries will sextile Pluto in 2026 and square Pluto 3 times during 2028-2029. Saturn in Gemini will air trine Pluto once in 2031 and oppose Pluto from Leo three times during 2035-2037 . Saturn in Libra will trine Pluto once in 2041. Jupiter will conjunct Pluto just once at 15 degrees Aquarius on April 2nd 2033. Jupiter will oppose Pluto once on July 20th 2026 and then three times in the period 2038-2039. There will be an Annular eclipse of the Sun on Jan 26th 2028 within a degree of Pluto at 6 degrees Aquarius. There will be a Total Lunar Eclipse on Aug 7th 2036 at 15 degrees Aquarius just 4 degrees from Pluto. UPCOMING ECLIPSES Sept 18th 2024. A small partial lunar eclipse at 26 Pisces, observable from the UK. 02.44 GMT Oct 2nd 2024. Annular solar eclipse at 10 Libra, visible from the southern tip of south America, 18.45 GMT Friday March 14th 2025.

Feb 6th 2027 An annular Solar Eclipse at 17 Aquarius. Fen 21st 2027 A pemumbral lunar eclipse at 3 Virgo. THE LUNAR STANDSTILL.

The Lunar Node is in Aries. We are in 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 new one centres in January 2025. During the next 3 years we will observe extreme northerly and southerly lunar rising and setting points on the local horizon when the Moon is in tropical Gemini/Cancer or Sagittarius/Capricorn. A 'standstill Full Moon' occurs on the day of the Northern Hemisphere Summer Solstice, June 21st 2024.

OUTER PLANET ingresses Over the next 2 years all 3 outer planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto will enter new signs. Pluto enters Aquarius 2023-2024. Neptune enters Aries and Uranus enters Gemini 2025-2026. This mass modulation from negative to positive energy, earth to air, water to fire, will inaugurate significant changes and accelerate 21st century evolution. We can however expect 'difficult transitions' with such an intense modulation of energy, not without danger.

This is the day after the eclipse. We can now turn our attention to Mars creeping up on Saturn, exact tomorrow. Something a touch somber here. 02.39 The very fast moving infant New Moon conjunction Mercury at 25 Aries. The flying bird brings the message. The moon is void of course for nearly 9 hours. 05.12 retro-Mercury at 25 Aries waxing novile Saturn at 15 Pisces 11.25 The Moon ingress Taurus joining Jupiter and Uranus already closely arrayed in this sign. 14.36 The Moon at 2 Taurus waxing square Pluto at 2 Aquarius 23.17 The Sun at 21 Aries waxing decile Saturn at 15 Pisces 23.19 retro-Mercury at 24 Aries waxing novile Mars at 14 Pisces

A day astrologically coloured by a triple conjunction of the Moon, Jupiter and Uranus at 20-22 degrees Taurus and a sharp conjunction of Mars and Saturn at 15 Pisces. A steadfast and significant symbolism is portrayed in the sky today. A favourable and interestingly aspected infant Moon squeezes in between Jupiter and Uranus. Ah but...Mars is tightly aligned to Saturn, at the same time, in a 'pressure cooker conjunction'-something's got to give. Be aware of the movements and the moments. A constructive morning. 05.21 Venus at 6 Aries waning semi-square Uranus at 21 Taurus 10.50 The Moon at 14 Taurus waxing sextile Mars at 14 Pisces 11.17 The Moon at 15 Taurus waxing sextile Saturn at 15 Pisces An eventful afternoon. 16.01 The Sun at 21 Aries waning semi-sextile Uranus at 21 Taurus 19.20 The Moon conjunction Jupiter at 19 Taurus 20.35 Closest conjunction Mars Saturn 0.44 degrees 20.37 Mars conjunction Saturn at 15 Pisces 22.18 The Moon conjunction Uranus at 21 Taurus

08.59 Jupiter at 20 Taurus waxing septile Neptune at 28 Pisces This is a single hit in the 13 year synodic cycle of these two planets. The current Jupiter Neptune cycle began on April 4th 2022 in Pisces. This was the very month that Russia invaded Ukraine. The number of confirmed cases of Covid-19 exceeded 500 million worldwide. Elon Musk reached an agreement to acquire the social media network Twitter. The cycle reaches its first quarter phase on 19th June 2025, and it culminates with the opposition across Libra/Aries on 28th Sept 2028. The cycle ends in Aries on 24th March 2035. Jupiter-Neptune is the 'grand illusion'. It's cycle symbolises the rise or decline of political, social orders and ideologies. This waxing septile aspect represents an acknowledgement of the transcendent reality of new developments and of the tests, allegiances and opportunities which are now on offer. This aspect opens up new possibilities and new realisations. 09.46 The Sun at 22 Aries waxing bi-novile Pluto at 2 Aquarius 10.05 The young Moon decelerating at 28 Taurus waxing sextile Neptune at 28 Pisces. The Moon is void of course for nearly 3 hours. 13.00 The Moon enters Gemini 16.23 The Moon at 2 Gemini waxing trine Pluto at 2 Aquarius 23.04 Inferior Conjunction of Mercury and the Sun at 23 Aries A 'New Mercury'. A seed moment. A new chapter in the story.

The young crescent Moon will gain very high altitudes in northern hemisphere skies, and have extreme rising and setting azimuths over the next few days due to the current major lunar standstill (climax of the 18.6 year cycle). With the culmination of the 18.6-year cycle of the Moon in 2024-25, called the Major Lunar Standstill, we are afforded the unique opportunity to observe the monthly, annual, and 18.6-year wanderings of the Moon. The 18.6-year cycle is caused by the precession of the plane of the lunar orbit, while this orbit maintains a 5 degree tilt relative to the ecliptic. At the peak of this cycle, the Moon's declination swings from -28.8 to +28.8 degree each month. What this means is that each month for the years 2023-2026, the Moon can be seen rising and setting more northerly and also more southerly than the solar extremes, and will transit monthly with altitudes which are higher in the sky than the summer Sun and lower in the sky than the winter Sun. Astrologically this corresponds to big emotional swings, globally. Consider the years 1969/70, 1986/87, 2006/07, 2024/5 in terms of big global emotional swings. 02.07 The Moon reaches her waxing crescent phase 03.48 The Moon decelerating at 9 Gemini waxing sextile Venus at 9 Aries 14.40 The Moon at 15 Gemini waxing square Saturn at 15 Pisces 14.48 retro-Mercury, now a morning star, at 22 Aries waxing decile Mars at 16 Pisces 15.41 The Moon at 15 Gemini sextiles her node from well north of the equator. 15.58 retro-Mercury at 22 Aries waxing bi-novile Pluto at 2 Aquarius 16.51 The Moon at 16 Gemini waxing square Mars at 16 Pisces

The waxing crescent Moon gains high altitudes in northern hemisphere skies this weekend. A pair of conjunctions is now applying in the skies of Earth. Mercury retrograding as a morning star is rushing into the arms of Venus, meeting her at 17.5 degrees Aries (close to the recent Solar Eclipse point) next Friday April 19th. On that same day Mars sextiles both Jupiter and Uranus. 40 hours later in the early hours (GMT) of Sunday April 21st, Jupiter is conjunct Uranus at 22 degrees Taurus. The Sun is square Pluto on that day. The Mercury Venus conjunction is potentially a 'merry meet' but it can evoke significant events in our lives. The Jupiter Uranus conjunction raises the stakes and with that raises consciousness. Its effect is 'major and global'. The build up to these two astrological events over the next week is emphatic. A strike by Iran on Israel is a 'real and credible' threat, the White House has said, as fears of an imminent attack by Tehran grow. Tensions are high over the possibility Iran will retaliate for an air strike that killed senior Iranian commanders two weeks ago. US officials have said that a major attack on Israel could happen imminently. Israel has said it is ready 'defensively and offensively'. The looming Jupiter Uranus conjunction is 2 degrees from the Sun in the Israeli astrological chart. The Venus Mercury conjunction opposes the Iran chart's Pluto. 02.21 Jupiter at 20 Taurus waxing tri-decile Pluto at 2 Aquarius The current 13 year synodic cycle of Jupiter and Pluto, symbolising 'power plays', started on Nov 12th 2020 in Capricorn. At that time we witnessed a worldwide rampant and escalating covid-19 virus, the appearance of vaccines and the US president refusing to concede electoral defeat. The cycle reached it first quarter square phase in May 2023, Russia and Belarus signed an agreement to station Russian tactical nuclear weapons on Belarusian territory. The cycle climaxes with the opposition across Leo/Aquarius in July 2026 and ends in Feb 2033 in Aquarius. Today's waxing tri-decile aspect is a single hit. (It preludes the 'free flowing' single waxing trine aspect on June 2nd this year). Today's minor aspect signifies a 'really getting it on' situation. It has a catalyzing effect on outward activity. Power shifts and transformations happen. Watch closely. The Jupiter Pluto cycle represents 'big time power shifts'. 02.43 This waxing crescent Moon decelerating at 22 Gemini waxing sextile Mercury at 22 Aries 06.35 The Moon at 24 Gemini waxing sextile The Sun at 24 Aries 07.29 Venus at 10 Aries waning novile Jupiter at 20 Taurus 10.48 retro-Mercury at 21 Aries waning semi-sextile Uranus at 21 Taurus 14.47 The Moon at 28 Gemini waxing square Neptune at 28 Pisces. The Moon is void of course for 3 hours 17.47 The Moon ingress Cancer 20.56 Mars at 17 Pisces waxing semi-square Pluto at 2 Aquarius 21.27 The Moon at 2 Cancer waxing quincunx Pluto at 2 Aquarius 23.52 retro-Mercury at 21 Aries waxing decile Saturn at 15 Pisces

At the time of writing and as Mars was in semi-square aspect to Pluto on Saturday night, Iran launched drones at Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country's defence systems had been deployed and that Israel's armed forces were ready. 10.52 Venus at 11 Aries waning novile Uranus at 21 Taurus 12.52 The Sun at 25 Aries waxing novile Saturn at 15 Pisces 15.24 The waxing crescent Moon decelerating at 12 Cancer waxing square Venus at 12 Aries 19.39 retro-Mercury at 20 Aries waning semi-sextile Jupiter at 20 Taurus 21.48 The Moon at 15 Cancer waxing trine Saturn at 15 Pisces 22.13 The Moon at 15 Cancer squares her node from far north of the equator.

The USA government has 'made it very clear' to Israel that they hope to de-escalate tensions after Iran's attack. Over 300 drones and missiles were fired at Israel overnight, which Iran said was in response to the 1st April strike on its consulate in Syria. Almost all weapons were shot down by Israeli, US and allied forces before they reached their targets. Officials say the US will not participate in any Israeli response. The looming Jupiter Uranus conjunction exact next Sunday is 2 degrees from the Sun in the Israeli astrological chart. The Venus Mercury conjunction exact on Friday opposes the Iran chart's Pluto. It seems we are living in a state of heightened tension 03.18 The waxing crescent Moon decelerating at 18 Cancer waxing trine Mars at 18 Pisces 07.13 The Moon at 20 Cancer waxing square Mercury at 20 Aries 08.06 The Moon at 21 Cancer waxing sextile Jupiter at 21 Taurus 10.01 The Moon at 22 Cancer waxing sextile Uranus at 22 Taurus 19.14 The Moon is at Cardinal First Quarter 23.23 The Moon at 28 Cancer waxing trine Neptune at 28 Pisces. The Moon is void of course for just over 3 hours. STATE OF THE SKY:- The Sun today is at 26 degrees Aires. Retrograde Mercury and Venus are also in Aries. Mars, Saturn and Neptune are in Pisces. A pair of conjunctions is now applying in the skies of Earth. Mercury retrograding as a morning star is rushing into the arms of Venus, meeting her at 17.5 degrees Aries (close to the recent Solar Eclipse point) next Friday April 19th. On that same day Mars sextiles both Jupiter and Uranus. 40 hours later in the early hours (GMT) of Sunday April 21st, Jupiter is conjunct Uranus at 22 degrees Taurus. The Sun is square Pluto on that day. The Mercury Venus conjunction is potentially a 'merry meet' but it can evoke significant events in our lives. The Jupiter Uranus raises the stakes and with that raises consciousness. Its effect is 'major and global'. The build up to these two astrological events over the next week is emphatic. (Saturn and Neptune apply in a 'test of faith' conjunction, exact Feb 2026 at 1 degree Aries). We are now to pulling out of an eclipse season after a Penumbral lunar Eclipse at 5 degrees Libra on Monday March 25th and a Total Solar Eclipse at 19 Aries on Monday April 8th 2024. All the planets are currently direct in motion except Mercury. MERCURY Mercury entered Aries on March 10th. He is in retrograde motion from April 1st. Mercury resides a lengthy 66 day residence from March 10th to May 15th. Mercury in Aries represents a universal mentality that is quick to learn, quick to decide, witty, direct, candid and enthusiastic. The retrograde phase results in Mercury being conjunct Chiron 3 times during this period. Words can wound and words can heal at these times. Mercury turned retrograde on April 1st at 27 Aries and was at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun on April 11th at 23 Aries. Now as a morning star Mercury is conjunct Chiron a 2nd time at 18 Aries today April 15th. Mercury is overtaken by Venus on April 19th at 18 Aries, hopefully a merry meet. Mercury stations direct on April 25th at 16 Aries just 2 days after the Full Moon. Mercury is conjunct Chiron a final time on May 7th at 21 Aries. Mercury leaves his shadow on May 13th and finally leaves Aries for Taurus on May 15th. The next 6 weeks will see inflammable communications. Mercury retrograde periods this year. April 1 to April 25, 2024 August 5 to August 28, 2024 November 25 to December 15, 2024 VENUS Morning star Venus entered Aries on April 5th joining the Sun and Mercury in this sign. She races through Aries in a brief and bold 24 days. Venus in Aries is ardent risk taking, direct, thrill-seeking and confident. Venus overtakes retrograde Mercury at 18 degrees Aries on April 19th, a hot, eventful, and potentially merry meet. Venus leaves Aries for Taurus on April 29th. Venus is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun at 14 degrees Gemini on June 4th. Venus' next retrograde period is from 2nd March to 14th April 2025 in Aries and Pisces. MARS Mars entered Pisces on 22nd March joining Venus, Saturn and Neptune in this sign. Mars resides here for an eventful 39 days. Mars, when in Pisces, has his natural assertive fire dampened somewhat. This sign sees Mars at his most gentle and he can be a little dithery. Mars is sextile both Jupiter and Uranus at 22 Pisces on April 19th, indicating important events at this time, (the 2 gas giants are conjunct on April 21st). Mars is conjunct Neptune at 29 degrees Pisces, deep and unfathomable on April 29th. Mars enters Aries on May Eve April 30th, sparking things up after 30 days of wading through deep waters. Mars is next retrograde from Dec 6th 2024 to Feb 24th 2025 being at opposition to the Sun at 26 degrees Cancer on Jan 16th 2025. JUPITER Jupiter is now direct in Taurus. Jupiter in Taurus boosts our awareness of establishing ourselves and building upon what we have and hold. It fosters stability, security and provision. The year long residence is a time during which we can establish and ground ourselves, building on what we have. Clear goals, robust plans and tangible results are the qualities of this placement. Jupiter is conjunct Uranus on April 21st 2024 at 22 degrees Taurus. This is the highlight of the year long residence and has a nurturing, productive and consciousness raising quality, a good one. Jupiter sextiles Neptune on May 23rd 2024. This is a very creative and artistic vibration. Jupiter leaves Taurus for the sign Gemini on May 25th 2024, opening up a new flow of information and communication, residing there for a year. He then makes a momentous 'air trine' with Pluto on June 2nd, one of the optimistic hallmarks of 2024. He makes the first of 3 'tackling problems head on' squares to Saturn on Aug 19th. Jupiter then turns retrograde on Oct 9th at 21 degrees Gemini. SATURN Saturn is direct in Pisces. Saturn in Pisces is all about endings, karma, suffering, forgiveness, massacre, peace protests, ocean and sea-going matters, mathematical discovery, imaginative art forms, renunciation and 'moving on' (as this is the last sign in the zodiac, symbolic of a chapter reaching completion). When Saturn, planet of structure and boundaries, moves through this dreamy and transcendent zodiac sign, it evokes the creation of 'distancing from the past and an embrace with what the future holds'. Things can get weird at times. The three-year Saturn in Pisces cycle, which lasts until February 14, 2026, (minus the interval 25/5/25 to 1/9/25) will morph the tangible into the virtual. Mars is conjunct Saturn at 15 Pisces on April 10th 2024, 2 days after the great American Total Solar eclipse. Jupiter in Gemini, squares Saturn on Aug 19th 2024 and on 24th Dec 2024, (also a 3rd time in June 2025 when Saturn has entered Aries), challenging times when 'growth' manifests with compassion a little thin on the ground. Saturn in Pisces sextiles Uranus in Taurus on April 4th 2025, a positive vibration of solid progress and invention. Saturn is conjunct the mean lunar node at 27 Pisces on April 23rd 2025. URANUS Uranus the planet of inspiration and revolution is direct in Taurus, the sign of enduring institution and banking. Uranus remains in Taurus from 2019 for 7 years. Massive changes in the world of finance, currency, resource and ownership are taking place. The last time Uranus resided in Taurus was between 1934 and 1941 and before that 1850 to 1859 the time of the Industrial Revolution. Uranus first buzzes into Gemini on 7th July 2025. NEPTUNE Neptune is now direct in Pisces. He has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. PLUTO Pluto made his first foray into Aquarius (March 23rd 2023 to June 11th 2023). Pluto re-entered Aquarius a 2nd time on January 21st 2024. After hovering for a while around the cusp of Aquarius, Pluto will settle into the sign from Nov 19th 2024 till the year 2043. There will be gigantic changes brought about by this 20 year residence. The life we have known will be transformed. There will be a manifestation of the full potential of technology, a new revolution is ahead of us. We had a taste of this future (note all the fuss about AI earlier in 2023). Pluto in Aquarius 2023 to 2044. Dates:- March 23rd 2023 to June 11th 2023 January 21st 2024 to September 1st 2024 November 19th 2024 to March 9th 2043 September 1st 2043 to January 19th 2044 Pluto was last in Aquarius from 1777 to 1798. He entered Capricorn on Jan 26th 2008 Uranus in Gemini will air trine Pluto from 2026 to 2028. This is the most exciting time ahead, astrologically speaking. Saturn in Aries will sextile Pluto in 2026 and square Pluto 3 times during 2028-2029. Saturn in Gemini will air trine Pluto once in 2031 and oppose Pluto from Leo three times during 2035-2037 . Saturn in Libra will trine Pluto once in 2041. Jupiter will conjunct Pluto just once at 15 degrees Aquarius on April 2nd 2033. Jupiter will oppose Pluto once on July 20th 2026 and then three times in the period 2038-2039. There will be an Annular eclipse of the Sun on Jan 26th 2028 within a degree of Pluto at 6 degrees Aquarius. There will be a Total Lunar Eclipse on Aug 7th 2036 at 15 degrees Aquarius just 4 degrees from Pluto. UPCOMING ECLIPSES Sept 18th 2024. A small partial lunar eclipse at 26 Pisces conjunct Neptune, observable from the UK. 02.44 GMT. Mercury opposes Saturn. Oct 2nd 2024. Annular solar eclipse at 10 Libra, conjunct Mercury, visible from the southern tip of south America, 18.45 GMT Friday March 14th 2025.

Feb 6th 2027 An annular Solar Eclipse at 17 Aquarius. Fen 21st 2027 A pemumbral lunar eclipse at 3 Virgo. THE LUNAR STANDSTILL.

The Lunar Node is in Aries. We are in 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 new one centres in January 2025. During the next 3 years we will observe extreme northerly and southerly lunar rising and setting points on the local horizon when the Moon is in tropical Gemini/Cancer or Sagittarius/Capricorn. A 'standstill Full Moon' occurs on the day of the Northern Hemisphere Summer Solstice, June 21st 2024.

OUTER PLANET ingresses Over the next 2 years all 3 outer planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto will enter new signs. Pluto enters Aquarius 2023-2024. Neptune enters Aries and Uranus enters Gemini 2025-2026. This mass modulation from negative to positive energy, earth to air, water to fire, will inaugurate significant changes and accelerate 21st century evolution. We can however expect 'difficult transitions' with such an intense modulation of energy, not without danger.

The Sun and Moon are both in fire signs for 2 days (with Mercury and Venus). We face a brazen, formative and creative couple of days. 02.26 The decelerating first quarter Moon enters Leo 06.24 The Moon at 2 Leo opposition Pluto at 2 Aquarius 12.54 Venus at 14 Aries waxing quintile Pluto at 2 Aquarius 14.46 retro-Mercury at 19 Aries waxing semi-sextile Mars at 19 Pisces

Less than 5 degrees and 2 days separate Mercury and Venus. Their conjunction is on Friday. Expect interesting, even significant events. Less than 1 degree and 4 days separate Jupiter and Uranus. Their conjunction is on Sunday and it expands consciousness, globally. The Moon today slowly waxes in Leo. We have slipped into top gear. The astrological sky at this time is conspiring to bestow corresponding events on our lives. We currently face 'new normals' and 'new tangents', destined to affect hearts and minds. It's worth mentioning that in the Iran (1979) chart Jupiter and Uranus currently oppose Iran's Uranus and Mercury and Venus currently oppose Iran's Pluto. 06.42 Venus at 15 Aries waning decile Jupiter at 21 Taurus 08.04 The slowly waxing Moon decelerating at 15 Leo waxing trine Venus at 15 Aries 08.24 The Moon at 15 Leo waxing trines her node from north of the equator. 08.43 The Moon at 15 Leo waxing quincunx Saturn at 15 Pisces 11.10 Venus conjunction the lunar node at 15 Aries 14.53 Venus at 15 Aries waxing semi-sextile Saturn at 15 Pisces 15.02 The Moon at 19 Leo waxing trine retro-Mercury at 19 Aries 18.05 The Moon at 20 Leo waxing quincunx Mars at 20 Pisces 20.12 The Moon at 21 Leo waxing square Jupiter at 21 Taurus 20.13 Venus at 16 Aries waning decile Uranus at 22 Taurus 21.21 The Moon at 22 Leo waxing square Uranus at 22 Taurus

Today is the last full day of the astrological month of Aries. The Sun enters Taurus tomorrow. Mercury retrograding in Aries approaches Venus. Their conjunction is in the morning (GMT) tomorrow. 01.31 The Sun at 29 Aries waxing semi-sextile Neptune at 29 Pisces 11.12 The Moon at 29 Leo waxing quincunx Neptune at 29 Pisces 12.03 The Moon at 29 Leo waxing trine The Sun at 29 Aries. The Moon is void of course for 2.1 hours 14.12 The Moon enters Virgo 18.21 The Moon at 2 Virgo waning quincunx Pluto at 2 Aquarius

Well we are right into it now. 'It' being an astrologically significant and busy few days. Accompanying the two current special planetary conjunctions is the seasonal move into the astrological month of Taurus. All of this delivers us to a 'hard case' Full Moon in Scorpio, square Pluto, late (GMT) next Tuesday. Roller coaster ride. 09.00 Mercury conjunction Venus at 18 Aries. A merry meet but eventful and leaves a funny taste and maybe something not yet complete, (Mercury currently being retrograde). These two planets are conjunct two more times this year, June 17th and Aug 8th. 14.01 The Sun enters Taurus and a new astrological month begins. 15.29 Mars at 21 Pisces waning sextile Jupiter at 21 Taurus Purposeful, optimistic, forthright. 21.15 The Moon reaches her waxing gibbous phase The procession to the Full Moon now starts in earnest. 21.53 The Moon at 16 Virgo opposition Saturn at 16 Pisces 23.56 Mars at 22 Pisces waning sextile Uranus at 22 Taurus Ingenious and possibly surprising developments.

Lunar pressures are rising. Treading carefully today. 01.11 The very slowly waxing gibbous Moon at 17 Virgo waxing quincunx Mercury at 17 Aries 02.10 The Moon is at apogee, slowest all month and furthest from the Earth. 03.48 The Moon at 19 Virgo waxing quincunx Venus at 19 Aries 05.41 The Sun at 1 Taurus waxing semi-square Saturn at 16 Pisces 10.14 The Moon at 22 Virgo waxing trine Jupiter at 22 Taurus 10.29 The Moon at 22 Virgo waxing trine Uranus at 22 Taurus 11.10 The Moon at 22 Virgo opposition Mars at 22 Pisces

00.20 The very slowly waxing gibbous Moon at 29 Virgo opposition Neptune at 29 Pisces. The Moon is void of course for just under 3 hours. 02.27 Jupiter conjunction Uranus at 22 Taurus 03.04 Closest conjunction Jupiter Uranus 0.50 degrees 03.10 The Moon enters Libra 06.29 The Moon at 2 Libra waxing quincunx The Sun at 2 Taurus 07.21 The Moon at 2 Libra waning trine Pluto at 2 Aquarius 17.02 The Sun at 2 Taurus waxing square Pluto at 2 Aquarius

'Hard case' Full Moon in Scorpio tomorrow night (late GMT), square Pluto. 'The Dire Wolf', dancing on the edge today. Mercury turns direct on Thursday. One week from today Mars is conjunct Neptune, Venus enters Taurus and applies square to Pluto, Mars enters Aries the next day. 03.07 Mars at 23 Pisces waxing septile Pluto at 2 Aquarius 09.17 The very slowly waxing gibbous Moon accelerating at 15 Libra opposition her node at 15 Aries 11.09 The Moon at 16 Libra waning quincunx Saturn at 16 Pisces 12.10 The Moon at 16 Libra opposition retro-Mercury at 16 Aries 21.44 Venus at 22 Aries waxing decile Saturn at 16 Pisces 22.26 Venus at 22 Aries waning semi-sextile Uranus at 22 Taurus 23.07 retro-Mercury at 16 Aries waning decile Jupiter at 22 Taurus 23.19 The Moon at 22 Libra waxing quincunx Uranus at 22 Taurus 23.25 The Moon at 22 Libra opposition Venus at 22 Aries. The Moon is void of course for nearly 16 hours. STATE OF THE SKY:- The Sun today is at 3 degrees Taurus. Jupiter and Uranus are also in Taurus. Retrograde Mercury and Venus are in Aries. Mars, Saturn and Neptune are in Pisces. (Saturn and Neptune apply in a 'test of faith' conjunction, exact Feb 2026 at 1 degree Aries). We are now pulling out of an eclipse season after a Penumbral lunar Eclipse at 5 degrees Libra on Monday March 25th and a Total Solar Eclipse at 19 Aries on Monday April 8th 2024. All the planets are currently direct in motion except Mercury, who turns direct on Thursday. There are 57 days to the Northern Hemisphere Summer Solstice. MERCURY Mercury entered Aries on March 10th. He has been in retrograde motion since April 1st. Mercury resides a lengthy 66 day residence from March 10th to May 15th. Mercury in Aries represents a universal mentality that is quick to learn, quick to decide, witty, direct, candid and enthusiastic. The retrograde phase results in Mercury being conjunct Chiron 3 times during this period. Words can wound and words can heal at these times. Mercury turned retrograde on April 1st at 27 Aries and was at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun on April 11th at 23 Aries. Mercury stations direct on April 25th at 16 Aries just 2 days after the Full Moon. Mercury is conjunct Chiron a final time on May 7th at 21 Aries. Mercury leaves his shadow on May 13th and finally leaves Aries for Taurus on May 15th. Mercury retrograde periods this year. April 1 to April 25, 2024 August 5 to August 28, 2024 November 25 to December 15, 2024 VENUS Morning star Venus entered Aries on April 5th joining the Sun and Mercury in this sign. She races through Aries in a brief and bold 24 days. Venus in Aries is ardent risk taking, direct, thrill-seeking and confident. Venus overtook retrograde Mercury at 18 degrees Aries on April 19th. Venus leaves Aries for Taurus on April 29th. Venus is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun at 14 degrees Gemini on June 4th. Venus' next retrograde period is from 2nd March to 14th April 2025 in Aries and Pisces. MARS Mars entered Pisces on 22nd March joining Venus, Saturn and Neptune in this sign. Mars resides here for an eventful 39 days. Mars, when in Pisces, has his natural assertive fire dampened somewhat. This sign sees Mars at his most gentle and he can be a little dithery. Mars is conjunct Neptune at 29 degrees Pisces, deep and unfathomable on April 29th. Mars enters Aries on May Eve April 30th, sparking things up after 30 days of wading through deep waters. Mars is next retrograde from Dec 6th 2024 to Feb 24th 2025 being at opposition to the Sun at 26 degrees Cancer on Jan 16th 2025. JUPITER Jupiter is now direct in Taurus. Jupiter in Taurus boosts our awareness of establishing ourselves and building upon what we have and hold. It fosters stability, security and provision. The year long residence is a time during which we can establish and ground ourselves, building on what we have. Clear goals, robust plans and tangible results are the qualities of this placement. Jupiter was conjunct Uranus on April 21st 2024 at 22 degrees Taurus. This is the highlight of the year long residence and has a nurturing, productive and consciousness raising quality, a good one. Jupiter sextiles Neptune on May 23rd 2024. This is a very creative and artistic vibration. Jupiter leaves Taurus for the sign Gemini on May 25th 2024, opening up a new flow of information and communication, residing there for a year. He then makes a momentous 'air trine' with Pluto on June 2nd, one of the optimistic hallmarks of 2024. He makes the first of 3 'tackling problems head on' squares to Saturn on Aug 19th. Jupiter then turns retrograde on Oct 9th at 21 degrees Gemini. SATURN Saturn is direct in Pisces. Saturn in Pisces is all about endings, karma, suffering, forgiveness, massacre, peace protests, ocean and sea-going matters, mathematical discovery, imaginative art forms, renunciation and 'moving on' (as this is the last sign in the zodiac, symbolic of a chapter reaching completion). When Saturn, planet of structure and boundaries, moves through this dreamy and transcendent zodiac sign, it evokes the creation of 'distancing from the past and an embrace with what the future holds'. Things can get weird at times. The three-year Saturn in Pisces cycle, which lasts until February 14, 2026, (minus the interval 25/5/25 to 1/9/25) will morph the tangible into the virtual. Mars is conjunct Saturn at 15 Pisces on April 10th 2024, 2 days after the great American Total Solar eclipse. Jupiter in Gemini, squares Saturn on Aug 19th 2024 and on 24th Dec 2024, (also a 3rd time in June 2025 when Saturn has entered Aries), challenging times when 'growth' manifests with compassion a little thin on the ground. Saturn in Pisces sextiles Uranus in Taurus on April 4th 2025, a positive vibration of solid progress and invention. Saturn is conjunct the mean lunar node at 27 Pisces on April 23rd 2025. URANUS Uranus the planet of inspiration and revolution is direct in Taurus, the sign of enduring institution and banking. Uranus remains in Taurus from 2019 for 7 years. Massive changes in the world of finance, currency, resource and ownership are taking place. The last time Uranus resided in Taurus was between 1934 and 1941 and before that 1850 to 1859 the time of the Industrial Revolution. Uranus first buzzes into Gemini on 7th July 2025. NEPTUNE Neptune is now direct in Pisces. He has been in this sign since 2011. Neptune in Pisces is symbolic of the greatest watery immersion in the deepest subliminal and spiritual ocean. Neptune is in its own sign of Pisces, a transit that only occurs every 165 years. Neptune rules Pisces and also rules the deepest realms of the subconscious mind. The oceanic vibration of love is flowing with a deeper and higher frequency. Our human mission is to flow with it. Art, music and science are enhanced with the progress of this residence. Neptune enters Aries on March 30th 2025. PLUTO Pluto made his first foray into Aquarius (March 23rd 2023 to June 11th 2023). Pluto re-entered Aquarius a 2nd time on January 21st 2024. After hovering for a while around the cusp of Aquarius, Pluto will settle into the sign from Nov 19th 2024 till the year 2043. There will be gigantic changes brought about by this 20 year residence. The life we have known will be transformed. There will be a manifestation of the full potential of technology, a new revolution is ahead of us. We had a taste of this future (note all the fuss about AI earlier in 2023). Pluto in Aquarius 2023 to 2044. Dates:- March 23rd 2023 to June 11th 2023 January 21st 2024 to September 1st 2024 November 19th 2024 to March 9th 2043 September 1st 2043 to January 19th 2044 Pluto was last in Aquarius from 1777 to 1798. He entered Capricorn on Jan 26th 2008 Uranus in Gemini will air trine Pluto from 2026 to 2028. This is the most exciting time ahead, astrologically speaking. Saturn in Aries will sextile Pluto in 2026 and square Pluto 3 times during 2028-2029. Saturn in Gemini will air trine Pluto once in 2031 and oppose Pluto from Leo three times during 2035-2037 . Saturn in Libra will trine Pluto once in 2041. Jupiter will conjunct Pluto just once at 15 degrees Aquarius on April 2nd 2033. Jupiter will oppose Pluto once on July 20th 2026 and then three times in the period 2038-2039. There will be an Annular eclipse of the Sun on Jan 26th 2028 within a degree of Pluto at 6 degrees Aquarius. There will be a Total Lunar Eclipse on Aug 7th 2036 at 15 degrees Aquarius just 4 degrees from Pluto. UPCOMING ECLIPSES Sept 18th 2024. A small partial lunar eclipse at 26 Pisces conjunct Neptune, observable from the UK. 02.44 GMT. Mercury opposes Saturn. Oct 2nd 2024. Annular solar eclipse at 10 Libra, conjunct Mercury, visible from the southern tip of south America, 18.45 GMT Friday March 14th 2025. A Total Lunar Eclipse at 24 Virgo, visible at Moonset over the UK. 06.59 GMT March 29th 2025. A Partial Solar Eclipse at 9 Aries, visible from the UK. 10.47 GMT Sunday Sept 7th 2025.

An Annular Solar Eclipse at 29 Aquarius visible from Antartica. March 2nd-3rd 2026. A Total Lunar Eclipse at 13 Virgo visible from the Pacific, North West America and North East Asia. Aug 12th 2026. A Total Solar Eclipse at 20 Leo visible from Europe. (The Spanish Eclipse. Hopefully see you there.) Aug 28th-29th 2026 A Partial Lunar Eclipse at 5 Pisces visible from Europe, Africa and America. Feb 6th 2027 An annular Solar Eclipse at 17 Aquarius. Fen 21st 2027 A pemumbral lunar eclipse at 3 Virgo. THE LUNAR STANDSTILL.

The Lunar Node is in Aries. We are in 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 new one centres in January 2025. During the next 3 years we will observe extreme northerly and southerly lunar rising and setting points on the local horizon when the Moon is in tropical Gemini/Cancer or Sagittarius/Capricorn. A 'standstill Full Moon' occurs on the day of the Northern Hemisphere Summer Solstice, June 21st 2024.

OUTER PLANET ingresses Over the next 2 years all 3 outer planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto will enter new signs. Pluto enters Aquarius 2023-2024. Neptune enters Aries and Uranus enters Gemini 2025-2026. This mass modulation from negative to positive energy, earth to air, water to fire, will inaugurate significant changes and accelerate 21st century evolution. We can however expect 'difficult transitions' with such an intense modulation of energy, not without danger.

The slowly waxing void of course Moon, in characteristic rudderless fashion, dominates proceedings on this Full Moon day, until 15.21 GMT when she enters Scorpio. By then the karmic chess pieces are set and the climaxing Moon has control over the game. 01.20 Venus at 22 Aries waxing bi-novile Pluto at 2 Aquarius 03.52 The Moon at 24 Libra waning quincunx Mars at 24 Pisces 06.04 Venus at 22 Aries waning semi-sextile Jupiter at 22 Taurus 12.46 The Moon at 29 Libra waning quincunx Neptune at 29 Pisces 15.21 The Moon enters Scorpio. Sting in the tail henceforth. 19.28 The Moon at 2 Scorpio waning square Pluto at 2 Aquarius 23.50 Moment of FULL MOON Today's Full Moon in Scorpio is square Pluto and applies opposite a tight conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus. There certainly is Heaven, Hell and 'the Doors of Perception' here. This is the first Full Moon, and indeed a tough one, following on from the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Libra on March 25th and it is the 5th before a small Partial Lunar eclipse on Sept 18th at 26 Pisces conjunct Neptune,(observable from the UK). With its passing we take our leave of the recent eclipse season. Fixity and Water dominate the planetary sky today. Resolute will and strong emotion colour the event. Jupiter is conjunct Uranus, which invokes knowledge and vision, Mars is applying to Neptune, which weaves confusion. We have expanding awareness and understanding which is difficult to assimilate. The time is dangerous and demands full intelligence. This Full Moon in Scorpio square Pluto is vengeful and power hungry. Retribution, cruelty and destruction are all possible. Despite all this Scorpio inevitably leads us to reaffirmation and resurrection. Today's Full Moon directly hits the Suns of Turkey, Bill Gates, Hilary Clinton. Julia Roberts and John Cleese, the Moons of Italy and Kenya, the Mercury of David Cameron, the Mars of North Korea and Brazil, the Jupiter of the BBC and Guinea (conjunct her Pluto), the Saturn of Kim Jon Un (possibly) and Texas, the Uranus of Spain, the Neptune of the EU, Hawaii and Mike Pence, the Pluto of Hezbollah, the lunar node of Ayatollah Khamanei and Cuba. It squares Israel's Moon. At the exact moment of Full Moon today the Moon rises at Washington DC, it culminates at Toulouse, Saturn rises at Tehran, Pluto rises at Odessa and at Athens, Jupiter and Uranus rise at Saigon and set at Caracas, Mercury rises at Mumbai, Mars culminates at Melbourne, Saturn lower culminates at Rio de Janeiro, Neptune sets at San Francisco, Eugene and Vancouver.

Now in the wake of the Full Moon the astrological weather moves on with fixity and purpose. 09.15 retro-Mercury, almost stationary, (turning direct tomorrow) at 16 Aries waxing semi-sextile Saturn at 16 Pisces 10.19 The Sun at 5 Taurus waxing decile Neptune at 29 Pisces 13.11 retro-Mercury at 16 Aries waning decile Uranus at 22 Taurus 22.42 The slowly waning full Moon accelerating at 16 Scorpio waning quincunx Mercury at 16 Aries 22.53 The Moon at 16 Scorpio waning trine Saturn at 16 Pisces

The Scorpio Moon opposes Uranus and Jupiter (in Taurus) today. This does correspond quite succinctly with the big military expenditure and expansion underway globally. Mars in Pisces is conjunct Neptune next Monday, always a crazy planetary vibration and he then charges into Aries the following day, a lot of buttons being pushed. 10.26 The slowly waning full Moon accelerating at 22 Scorpio opposition Uranus at 22 Taurus 11.55 The Moon at 23 Scorpio opposition Jupiter at 23 Taurus 12.50 MERCURY TURNS DIRECT. He remains direct in motion until his next retrograde period August 5 to August 28 2024. 16.43 The Moon at 25 Scorpio waning quincunx Venus at 25 Aries 18.26 The Moon at 26 Scorpio waning trine Mars at 26 Pisces 23.17 The Moon at 29 Scorpio waning trine Neptune at 29 Pisces The Moon is void of course for 2.4 hours

Latest:-Friday 26th April 2024

The next planetary event is one of rare importance and is that of Mars closly aligning with Neptune next Monday. Mars and Neptune will share the same Right Ascension, with Mars passing 2'14" to the south of Neptune. This approach is technically described as 'a very tight planetary appulse'. This is a 'felt but not observable' astrological event. Between the years AD 1000 and AD 2300 there are only 7 Mars Neptune conjunctions this tight. The one on Monday April 29th 2024 is the last in our lifetimes. The next one of this degree of tightness is on May 13th 2355. We underwent two very recently, Jan 1st 2017 and Dec 7th 2018. The one before those two was in the year 1524. Do you recall the story of the gunman dressed as Santa Claus opening fire and killing 39 people in an Istanbul night club? That event occurred on New Years Day 2017, about 9 hours before the Mars Neptune tight appulse. All of the Mars Neptune very tight appulses I have found appear to be in tropical Pisces, Virgo or Libra. 01.39 The accelerating and waning full Moon enters Sagittarius 05.37 The Moon at 2 Sagittarius waning sextile Pluto at 2 Aquarius 10.02 Venus at 26 Aries waxing novile Saturn at 16 Pisces 14.37 The Moon at 7 Sagittarius waning quincunx The Sun at 7 Taurus 19.04 The Sun at 7 Taurus waxing novile Mars at 27 Pisces

Jupiter, Uranus, and from today Venus, are also in Taurus. Mars, Saturn and Neptune are in Pisces. (Saturn and Neptune apply in a 'test of faith' conjunction, exact Feb 2026 at 1 degree Aries). We have exited the recent eclipse season after a Penumbral lunar Eclipse at 5 degrees Libra on Monday March 25th and a Total Solar Eclipse at 19 Aries on Monday April 8th 2024. All the planets are currently direct in motion. There are 50 days to the Northern Hemisphere Summer Solstice. MERCURY Mercury resides a lengthy 66 day residence from March 10th to May 15th. Mercury, now a morning star, stationed direct on April 25th at 16 Aries. Mercury is conjunct Chiron a final time on May 7th at 21 Aries.

The cycle climaxes with the opposition, across Gemini/Sagittarius in 2030-2031, and ends in 2040 on Halloween Day, 31st Oct 2040, in Libra. This cycle of Jupiter and Saturn represents a positive, focused attitude, a definition of goals, ambition and global development. The significance of the Aquarius influence is to connect this development to global integration. Today's waxing quintile aspect is the last of 3 hits. Dates are Aug 31st 2023, Oct 16th 2023 and May 28th 2024. This aspect represents the capacity for bringing new qualities of global development into manifestation.
