(ALL TIMES ON THIS SITE ARE GMT.) The Sun today is at 9 degrees Sagittarius. Venus and Mars are also in Sagittarius. 'Tis the season to be jolly. 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, currently the pair are in Pisces, revisiting old issues, but now Saturn is direct in motion, so the aspect is tightening. There are 21 days to the Northern Hemisphere Winter Solstice. Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune are currently retrograde. The Full Moon in Gemini occurs late (GMT) Thursday of this week. MERCURY Mercury is a morning star in Scorpio having turned direct on Nov 29th after his recent retrograde phase. Mercury trines Jupiter and Saturn for the 3rd and final time on Dec 6th/7th, opposing Uranus on Dec 10th, trining Neptune on Dec 11th and re-entering Sagittarius on Dec 11th. Mercury sextiles Pluto a final time on Dec 13th. Mercury continues through Sagittarius leaving his shadow on Dec 16th. He enters Capricorn on New year's Day 2026. Mercury is next at Superior Conjunction with the Sun, at 2 degrees Aquarius, on January 21st 2026, and is conjunct Pluto the very next day. Three days after the return of Neptune to Aries, on Jan 26th 2026, Mercury is conjunct Venus at 15 degrees Aquarius on Jan 29th. Mercury turns retrograde on Feb 26th 2026 at 22 Pisces, falling into Venus' arms again 2 days later. This remains is a very intense period for Mercury, and correspondingly the human mind. Much seriously penetrative thinking evident during these weeks. Many issues to 'root out'. 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 Sagittarius on November 30th as a morning star joining the Sun and Mars in this sign. She resides in Sagittarius for a brief 24 days. Venus sextiles Pluto tomorrow (Dec 2nd), a regenerative force. Venus squares Saturn on the Solstice day Dec 21st, in all seriousness. Venus squares Neptune on Christmas Eve Dec 24th, intoxication, and enters Capricorn 11 hours later on that same day. Venus is at Superior Conjunction with the Sun at 16 Capricorn on Jan 6th 2026. Venus is conjunct Mars on January 8th.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). Her next retrograde phase is the 41 day period from Oct 3rd to Nov 14th 2026 in Scorpio and Libra. With both Venus and Mars now in Sagittarius we are in for pre-Christmas jolly potentials. Seek out some fun. Venus' next retrograde phase is the 41 day period from Oct 3rd to Nov 14th 2026 in Scorpio and Libra. MARS Mars entered Sagittarius Nov 4th joining Mercury in this sign. He remains in Sagittarius for 40 days. Mars squares Saturn on Dec 9th, driving with the brakes on. Mars squares Neptune on Dec 14th, aberrations and exhaustion. Mars leaves Sagittarius for Capricorn on Dec 15th. 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 first entered Aries on March 30th 2025 but is now retrograde in Pisces. Neptune's retrograde motion began on July 4, 2025, and will conclude on December 10, 2025. Neptune will re-enter Aries on January 26, 2026, where it will remain until March 23, 2039. 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. 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). 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. 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 (late 2025) 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 in 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 planetary 'Water Grand Trine' continues to 'ring out', now involving Mercury with Jupiter and Saturn, 2nd to 9th December. Constructive progress and the harnessing of ideas and emotion, supplement an astrological climate that harbours fortuitous optimism. Rising lunar pressures invigorate the energy. 03.14 The accelerating and rapidly waxing gibbous Moon, two days from the Full, enters Taurus joining Uranus in this sign 06.05 The Moon at 2 Taurus waxing quincunx Venus at 2 Sagittarius 06.21 The Moon at 2 Taurus waxing square Pluto at 2 Aquarius 09.07 Venus at 2 Sagittarius waning sextile Pluto at 2 Aquarius 10.47 The Sun at 11 Sagittarius waning septile Pluto at 2 Aquarius 20.45 The Moon at 11 Taurus waxing quincunx The Sun at 11 Sagittarius

Today's Full Moon is the third Full Moon following the Total Lunar Eclipse on September 7th 2025 at 15 degrees Pisces, and also the 3rd before another Total Lunar Eclipse on March 2nd/3rd 2026 at 13 degrees Virgo. The Full Moon is opposite Venus and Mars and makes 'minor hard' aspects to Pluto and Jupiter. Uranus is sextile Neptune, Jupiter is trine Saturn and Mars applies square to Saturn. Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn are still arrayed in a Watery Grand Trine. Mutability, Water and Fire predominate. Today's Full Moon may well evoke shallow power trips within a fast moving steamy atmosphere. Today's Full Moon directly hits Iran's Moon conjunct Saturn, (1501 chart), Ukraine's IC, Chile's Mars, Zimbabwe's Venus, the Dali Lama's Chiron, square his Neptune, Bob Dylan's Venus, David Gilmour's Uranus and Ben Stokes' Sun (invigorating English Cricket prospects against Australia!). The Full Moon opposes Ireland's Sun and Mercury, squares Turkey's MC, squares China's Saturn and Pete Hegseth's Mars. At the exact moment of Full Moon it is Sunrise over The Bearing Sea. Sunset is happening at Houston. Moonrise is over South Georgia. Moonset is at Pyongyang. High Noon is over The Far North Pacific, and True midnight is at Milan. Jupiter culminates at Tehran, Uranus at Dublin, Pluto at Los Angeles and Neptune at Beijing, Mars rises over South Korea and sets at Memphis, Saturn sets and Mars is at lower culmination at Budapest. The Full Moon peaks the (GMT) day ends and the Sun squares the Mean Lunar Node marking the mid eclipse season point in time.
