The Moon, Algol and Jupiter are hanging out together today....

 

I read something interesting today, on Smiljana Gavroncic’s FaceBook page. Smiljana is an amazing astrologer from Serbia whose work is very interesting because she collects details and puts all the threads together to weave a narrative explaining how the stars affect us humans. As above so below.

Very simply put, she wrote that today, Sunday 29th August 2021, the Moon will occupy a degree in the zodiac which is also shared by the fixed star Algol. This star is found in the constellation Perseus and has been recognised to be the most malevolent fixed star out there. Today, the Moon and Algol form a challenging angle of 90° to the planet Jupiter.

Why is this significant? Well, to begin with, astrology is about finding patterns. When two points in the sky form an aspect (usually angles of 90° - a square, 180° - an opposition, or even 0° - a conjunction where they occupy the same portion of sky in the zodiac) this is something we should pay attention to. So let’s break this down.

1.    The Moon today is conjunct the fixed star Algol which lies at 26°Taurus. The Moon represents the feminine, and Algol carries the myth of Medusa from Greek mythology. The Moon reflects the light of the Sun, so it throws light on Algol’s link to Medusa. You can read her story here: https://www.greekmythology.com/Myths/Creatures/Medusa/medusa.html

Perhaps Medusa’s story talks of how we lose wisdom when we are enraged. We literally just lose our heads, just like Medusa.

2.    The planet Jupiter is a benefic, which means that he bestows good fortune and abundance. He can also go overboard – what we call ‘overkill’. Jupiter represents knowledge, justice, the law, books, publishing, in short, anything which can take you beyond your own boundaries.

3.    So a connection between a Moon/Algol with Jupiter could speak of an angry woman/energy who/which wields the law for its own purposes.


Smiljana Gavroncic mentions that what is justice for some may not be justice for others .Algol dispenses justice with a double-edged sword. Someone will gain power just as someone will lose power, or their head.

The upcoming eclipse on the 19th November is a lunar eclipse and is interesting to those of us who like to interpret the skies. Astrologers have forever taken note of eclipses as harbingers of change, and, to give an example, in the past, solar eclipses were seen as particularly ominous as it endangered the wellbeing of the king or ruler. Long ago in China, a commoner was place on the throne for the duration of the eclipse and subsequently killed when it ended, taking eclipse energy with him, and thus protecting the emperor.

Lunar eclipses were also seen as signs of tumultuous times. The 19th November lunar eclipse occurs near the fixed star Algol. Joe Biden is a leader, with Kamala Harris as his second-in-command. Way back in 2018, Smiljana predicted that a woman of colour would be in charge in the White House (http://astrologsmiljanagavrancic.blogspot.com/2018/02/elections-2020-brings-female-energy.html) . Although she predicted that the then future president of the United States would carry a female energy, it was Joe Biden who became the presidential candidate for the Democratic Party. Just as she had predicted that Donald J.Trump would win the Oval Office in 2016, once Biden’s nomination had been confirmed, it was Kamala Harris whom Biden chose as his running mate.

Why is this important? Well, the upcoming lunar eclipse in November carries some Algol energy with it. Astrologers always look at the astrological charts of world leaders to see whether there are connections between that chart and their own. Biden’s and Harris’s charts are worth watching, apparently. Changes are indicated in the US around the second half of November and those changes could affect US leaders.

The March Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon....and more

Image
  Tomorrow's Full Moon is a lunar eclipse, heralding the eclipse season for 2024. It occurs at 08:00 and will not be visible from our part of the world.  One thing to note is that due to precession, the zodiac and the constellations are out of synch by about 30 degrees, so whilst we say that the Moon is in the sign of Libra, the Moon will appear in the sky with Virgo as its backdrop. For the scope of this chart reading, I will be referring to the Moon as being in the sign of Libra.  So how does this eclipse affect us mortals? By looking the chart, we assess which planet is making an aspect to another. Because the chart changes according to time and place (for example, in London, this eclipse occurs at 07:00, and therefore the Ascendant and Midheaven changes). The chart for this Full Moon is quite interesting. The most notable aspects are the Sun/Pluto sextile, the Venus/Jupiter sextile and the Moon/Pluto trine.  These are all harmonious aspects. Remember that this is a lunar eclips

New Moon in Leo.... and more (read on).

  Are you feeling the heat? Astrologically, a new moon is all about implementing new plans, bringing others to a close and setting new intentions. Although this is stated in each of the blog posts, they are not the same for each new moon in a year. A new moon in Cancer is not the same as a new moon in Pisces, though theoretically they are both water signs. What you may find is that if you keep a personal journal, during the Leo New Moons period the same issues generally tend to crop up. Of course, the planets are in different positions at any given new moon, when a seed is sown. Ask your gardener whether they would sow any seeds after the full moon...  This month's new moon  is in the fiery sign of Leo and occurs at around 13:30 on the 4th August. As such, a new moon in Leo focuses on the issue of creativity, as Leo is a sign associated with the heart and putting our ideas/creations out there into manifestation, and also being recognised for our works of art, be they ideas, or chil

Solar Eclipse and its links to 1501....

  And here it is... the chart for the New Moon in Aries, also a total solar eclipse. I've been reading a lot of different takes on this eclipse. Let me explain why there are different views on it.  Fact number one: different astrologers will have different takes on it depending on what they see in the chart. That is why astrology is not only a science, but also an art. This is why I suggest reading a variety of interpretations of astrological perspectives on this eclipse (or any other, for that matter) and see what you can take from it.  Fact number two: eclipses do not affect everyone in the same way. It makes sense that if you are the leader of an organisation, what you are dealing with may affect others. A prime example is the  current Prince of Wales' chart. Prince William was born on the day of a solar eclipse (I mentioned this in a few of my posts on this blog). This, in itself, is not unusual as eclipses do occur bi-annually. However, as the future King of England, it do
