Living with the Stars

  This is just a short post - I just had to share it with you as it had me jumping up and down with excitement. Just how crazy is this?  This morning I was perusing through some news about the DNC, who spoke, who said what and so forth. I don't think I'm the only one who is interested in how we humans are going set the scene for the next few years.  I watched a few videos and, of course, that included Pete Buttigieg's speech (the US Secretary for Transport). His birth data is pretty much available online, so I had a peek at his birth chart. For those who may not know, this guy has Maltese ancestry and so this made me even more curious. What's his ascendant? Where is his Moon?  Talk about the universe having its way of reflecting the sky story. If you have been following my posts over the past few months, you'll know that there are a few things going on that made me sit up when I saw this.  First of all, Uranus is currently transiting 26/27 degrees of Taurus, conjunc

  And what a Full Moon this is! On Monday, the 19th of August, the Sun will oppose the Moon in what is the Full Moon cycle. As the Sun is still transiting the zodiac sign of Leo, the Full Moon will occur in Aquarius at 27 degrees. And oh, what a supercharged Full Moon it is - but more about that later. Hold onto your seats!  At this time, the Moon is at maximum reflecting capacity of the Sun's light which is a little like telling us that we should reflect on events and feelings (after all, the Moon is representative of our emotional nature) of the previous 14 days.  This is an Aquarius Moon which opposes a Leo Sun. These two signs are polar opposites. Lets have a look at what these two signs represent.   Leo represents our solar nature and its mythology is rooted in Ancient Greece. It tells of the Nemean Lion, a fearsome creature that Heracles - Hercules - had to defeat as part of his twelve labours. The Nemean Lion had an impenetrable hide, making it invulnerable to weapons. Herac

  You may be wondering why I chose to upload a blogpost entitled Plutonomics and its connection with President Roberta Metsola's chart.  Firstly, she is Maltese, and occupying one of the prominent positions in the EU is certainly of interest to astrologers. You may have been born on the same day but you aren't President, granted. The general idea is that planets in your natal chart have a way of playing out in your own life. How these aspects have played out in her life is very, very interesting.  So what does it have to do with Pluto? This small planet lost its status as a planet in 2006 which had us astrologers tickled pink - as if that was going to have us change the way we look at charts. The Moon isn't a planet either and yet it is a very important point in the chart. Same with Pluto.  In astrology, Pluto represents transformation, power, and rebirth. It governs the cycles of death, rebirth and renewal, symbolizing where power lies in the chart. When Pluto is prominent

  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
