Here’s a quick guide as to what major astrological aspects or configurations are happening and when during 2016.
I had to write some year ahead horoscopes recently and used this as a guide as to when things are busy, astro wise, and when things are a little quiet.
I thought you might like it as a handy reference too. I’ve taken the detailed data in the pic to the left, and summarised it month by month.
This little list focusses on major aspects, eclipses and the personal planet retrogrades. It’s not comprehensive by any stretch, but a simple guide as to the biggest astrological events in 2016 – as well as the months that have more going on astrologica
lly speaking. If you need to know what astro triggers may be active in your personal astrology chart this year, book a year ahead chart consult.
