Living with the Stars

  I posted this in November '23. Today we hear that HM King Charles III (or Charles Mountbatten-Windsor  to some) has been diagnosed with a serious illness.  To begin with, KCIII has a Sun/Mars conjunction in his SR chart for this year and this augurs well in that his vitality (Sun) has the energy of Mars. With Uranus opposite, he may (notice that nothing is fixed, the word used here is 'may') have to deal with issues which are unexpected. Running his Secondary Progressed chart (another predictive tool) confirms that he may indeed have to deal with unexpected challenges which crop up (progressed Uranus conjunct progressed Midheaven - indicating sudden change to status/career). We shall just have to wait and see how that pans out.  https://sisistars.blogspot.com/2023/11/full-moon-in-gemini-and-other-things.html  It is rather interesting that the British royal family has a history with eclipses. Charles and Diana got married in July 1981 under the shadow of an imp...

  As promised, in this post I am going to include the information from the New Moon which occurred on the 13th November. In my apologia last week, I mentioned that the New Moon in Scorpio was quite a sizzler, and the reason for that was that together with the Sun and Moon, was a spectacular Mars opposite Uranus aspect. I also mentioned that I connected it to volcanic activity in Iceland. I don't think that volcano has erupted yet but it has kept everyone there on full red alert. Similarly the Middle East, which is so delicate and complex a topic that to analyse it from an astrological perspective would require deep study; that's for another time, perhaps. What I would like to mention is that this New Moon occurred a day before King Charles' birthday, which means that his Solar Return chart for the coming year would have contained that very energized Mars/Uranus opposition.  Briefly explained, a solar return chart is something astrologers use to predict the year ahead for th...

  This evening, at 7:34pm, a lunar eclipse in the turbulent sign of Scorpio will grace the heavens. What is remarkable about this particular lunar eclipse is not only the fact that it is occurring some hours before a much awaited coronation of a king, but also because this supercharged Full Moon lunation makes so many aspects to Charles Mountbatten-Windsor's own personal chart. Read on to find out more about that, but first, local matters. The chart on the left gives us a picture of the lunation as it occurs Malta time. It's interesting have a look at how it impacts the charts of people, or nations or even events.  A lunar eclipse typically blots out the Sun which means that Sol (Sun) will be hidden for a few minutes. If you think about this, it suggests that something will be hidden and the emotions (traditionally linked to the Moon) will take precedence. Furthermore, this eclipse occurs in the zodiac sign of Scorpio - that sign which talks about hidden things or secrets...

  The Aries Full Moon (well, the Moon is opposite the Sun in Libra) occurs tomorrow at almost 11:00pm. The Moon will be high in the sky, and the twinkling planet close to it is Jupiter, so do look out for that. Mars will be rising on the eastern horizon, and Saturn will be visible towards the southeastern sky.  Much has been said about Venus in astrological forums, as 'she' is travelling with the Sun, and therefore cannot be seen during the day. Because of the shape of Venus' orbit, she is never far away from the Sun in an astrological chart. Indeed, it is never more than two zodiac signs away. You might be a Taurus - doing things slowly and methodically, but your Venus is in Gemini - socialising and information are done with ease and also with speed. So Let's have a bit of fun.... Since Vlad has been in the news so much lately, what is his Sun/Venus combo? This is just for a bit of fun, as it is common knowledge, apparently, that KGB agents never give about personal de...
