Pluto and Venus make history

 

Something extraordinary is going on. At 04:52 tomorrow morning, Pluto goes direct at 1 degree Aquarius after having gone retrograde on the 4th May 2025. For the past 162 days, Pluto appeared to be walking backwards in the sky. Fair enough, planets do have their retrograde periods at different points of the solar year. 

It's what's going on in the sky that captures our attention. At the point in time when Pluto goes direct, Venus goes over the same degree as the 21st September solar eclipse of 29 degrees Virgo, and enters the sign of Libra at zero degrees. From here, she opposes Neptune at 0 degrees Aries. Libra is ruled by Venus, so she is very much at home here. 

We all know that Venus is the planet associated with love and stability in relationships (business or otherwise). Opposing Neptune speaks of the themes of stability (Venus in Libra) versus idealistic (Neptune) action (Aries). 

Look at the yellow highlighted triangle, with Pluto (transformation), Uranus (sudden change) and Neptune/Saturn (idealism and responsibility). Because these planets move slowly as they are planets on the outer rim of our solar system, this formation has been there for a little while. Venus' position at 0 Libra (stability) brings a sense of being a rudder, propelling the outer planets. 

A Jupiter/Moon combination at around 23-25 degrees of Cancer is connected to Saturn; this has a 'good luck' vibe. The Sun is also 'pulled' into this aspect, which, in Libra, has no other choice but to cooperate (Sun in Libra is working on behalf of others). 

Tucked away in a corner you will find Mercury and Mars in cahoots in the secretive sign of Scorpio. They do not make any major aspects to the kite formation. So whatever is going down, remember that our undercover spies are laying the groundwork. 

Back to Pluto. Now that the period of retrograde is over, doing that balancing (Libra) act is going to be challenging as Pluto demands transformation. 

Long story short, find your balance. Forget your ego, but stay steady on your course. 

Blessings, 

Cindy

Ready for a new start? New Moon in Scorpio

Image
  Welcome to the New Moon in Scorpio, happening today 1st November at 13:47. There is much to say about this New Moon, a time of seeding new intentions.  In this post, we'll also have a look at what is on most people's minds - the US elections, as well as what the Malta 'sky weather' is like. Last but not least, what the sky portends for us lesser mortals.  So many oppositions in a New Moon chart speaks of polarities. It's either this, or that, black, or white. The most obvious polarity is that of Pluto opposite Mars at the anaretic (29 degrees) degree. This is HIGHLY charged - it is akin to saying "change or die staying the same" (die being a metaphor for 'things will be changed without your consent'). Mercury, which is currently transiting the very secretive sign of Scorpio, is opposite Uranus, the planet associated with sudden change and innovation. Communication here is being supercharged with inspirational thinking. Venus, the planet associate...

The Full Moon, Saturn and more....

Image
  Yesterday's Full Moon in Taurus is at 24 degrees in Taurus - meaning the Sun is directly opposite in Scorpio at 24 degrees. Following on from the very ominous new moon, we have a full moon with an equally forceful vibe. With all that's happened over the past two weeks (US elections) one would hope that things would calm down a bit (oh that Mars/Pluto opposition at the 29th degree of Cancer/Capricorn). The coming Full Moon is quite packed. Let's have a look.  Let's remember what a Full Moon is. The Moon reflects the light of the Sun. If we set intentions at the New Moon, the Full Moon is when the light reaches its maximum and then begins to diminish. Even as a child I was told that if I were to plant seeds, I had to do it between the new and full moon. Over the past two weeks, we have witnessed a shift in world affairs as signified by Pluto/Mars at that anaretic degree (29 degrees of anything).  In astrological terms, what was planted at the New Moon finds its maximum ...

Let's get Sirius - it's a Leo New Moon

Image
  For some odd reason (which in my sphere is not odd at all), the importance of the Leo season has been somewhat brought to my attention in a number of ways. Walking past a jewellery shop, there was a display of 'the age of Leo' range of rings and more. Switch on the TV, and the Lionesses chase a ball. That and other small but significant signs. And I'm a Leo native. It's Leo season. The month of July brings with it what is known as the 'dog days' - the intense heat associated with the 'dog star' Sirius, whose heliacal rising occurs this year on the 29th July (but I bet you can feel the fire too - temperatures here in the Med are crazy hot). Sopdet Taken from Wikipedia This fixed star, known as Sopdet to the ancient Egyptians, was a celestial herald of renewal, appearing just before sunrise at the time of the flooding of the River Nile. In this respect Sirius - associated with the goddess Isis, signified a life-giving event that marked the beginning of t...
