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. You can gain insights into this 'difficult to fathom' energy by reviewing previous Saturn in Pisces periods. The April 1905 to March 1908 residence saw the publishing of Einstein's Special Relativity theory. The Feb 1935 to April 1937 residence witnessed the consolidation of Hitler's power and German rearmament, Stalin's great purge, Edward 8th's abdication, and the Spanish Civil War. The March 1964 to March 1967 residence saw the Beatles, Radio Caroline, the Vietnam War, the Indian/Pakistani war, the Wilson Government (UK), the Cultural Revolution in China, and 'Sergeant Pepper'.

PLUTO Pluto has made his first foray into Aquarius (March 23rd 2023 to June 11th) and is now back in Capricorn. He has unfinished business to attend to. Pluto is now direct.

UPCOMING ECLIPSES The next eclipse is on Monday (morning GMT) March 25th 2024 and is a Penumbral lunar Eclipse at 5 Libra with greatest eclipse at 07.13 GMT.

The Lunar Node is now in Aries. We are at the start of 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 3 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.

The Lunar Node is now in Aries. We are at the start of 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 3 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.
