I’ve been looking back at my past articles when Mars and Saturn clashed before. They have titles such as, “where there’s a will there’s a way’, ‘what’s slowing you down?’, ‘do not pass Go’. Already this gives you a flavour of what to expect

A jaunty little planetary aspect takes place today between Mercury (communication) and Mars (action). Both planets are currently in extrovert signs, Mercury in Sagittarius and Mars in Aquarius. The focus is on the future, exciting goals, progressive thinking and it’s about what’s new in

Mars is the planet of action but this week it’s been held tight in a square aspect with the planet that slams on the brakes, Saturn. Mars in Pisces wants to dream, be creative, pursue fantasies whilst Saturn says ‘hang on a minute, mate, but is that realistic?’ Saturn can be the party pooper

The weekend is upon us and this one is extra special. This is because there are two major planetary events taking place which both focus on new energy, getting things started. New Moon Aquarius/Mars enters Aries The first is the New Moon which takes place on Saturday 28th January [00:07 GMT] at 8 d

Mars is red-hot ‘chilli pepper’ fiery and furious over the next few days. The red planet that rules anger and action is currently strong in Aries: the strident activist, the daring hero, the martial arts expert. This Mars knows what it wants and is out to get it. Mars in Aries is fast,

There’s some interesting astrology taking place today and over the next couple of days. Not one but three of the personal planets, including the Sun, change signs. Sun enters Taurus Today, Wednesday 19th April, the Sun leaves behind fire sign Aries and enters earth sign Taurus where it remain

It’s hard to think of tonight’s Mars/Pluto conjunction without immediately thinking of the saying ‘do or die’. Mars rules action and through its mythological associations, Pluto links us to death and the Underworld. Scorpio is the sign that unites the two; Mars being Scorpio&

The theme of Love is strong in 2015 as Venus and Mars, the lovers in the heavens, connect not once but three times. In fact, throughout 2015 they stay relatively close together never more than one sign apart. This can be a year of unity and togetherness if you come from a place of love. Relationship

Mars is the planet of action and it’s currently moving into a square aspect with the planet that slams on the brakes, Saturn. Mars in Pisces wants to dream, be creative, live a fantasy life whilst Saturn says ‘hang on a minute, mate, but is that realistic?. Saturn can be the party pooper

I have that Marvin Gaye song going round and round in my head, Let’s Get It On. It seems highly appropriate as the lovers of the heavens, Venus and Mars, are now in the first sign of the zodiac Aries and heading for a red-hot conjunction tomorrow, Sunday 22nd February 2015. The lovers meet at

Mars Retrograde: Frustrated Desire Mars is the planet of action and drive and once every couple of years, Mars turns retrograde in the heavens for approximately 10 weeks at a time. Mars is retrograde in 2016 from April 17th until June 29th. When a planet’s retrograde, it’s said to be weakened and i

There’s a fiery encounter going on in the heavens right now. The planet of love, Venus, is connecting with the planet of lust & libido, Mars and they are both in red hot fire signs. Love planet Venus is in go-for-it Aries and Mars is in hedonistic Sagittarius. It’s a glorious couplin

Retrodiction is a useful tool in astrology. It’s the opposite of prediction, i.e. instead of predicting the future you look back to the past and notice what happened when important planetary events took place. This is one of the ways that astrologers bring your chart to life. So looking back t

I have been thinking a lot about motivation recently. There are times when I find it extraordinarily difficult to achieve what I want, especially in my work. I have good intentions and great ideas about what I’m going to do and when, but sometimes things just don’t happen. I can be extre

Most of you will have read about or seen on the news the tragic story concerning almost 300 schoolgirls who were abducted from their school in Nigeria by an Islamist terrorist group on April 14th 2014.

Mars has been retrograde, i.e. on go-slow since March 1st 2014. As Mars rules physical energy, get-up-and-go, assertiveness and a feisty attitude, your l

We’re in the midst of some crazy unpredictable astro weather. We’re already seeing some unprecedented high temperatures around the world and devastating fires. Mars represents heat in astrology and it’s retrograde for almost the whole of July and August. It’s as if we’

Lunar Eclipse [0 Leo 52] London – January 21st 2019 (5:16 am GMT) New York – January 21st 2019 (0:16 am GMT) Sydney – January 21st 2019 (16:16 pm GMT) The Full Moon is building in the night sky. It culminates in Sunday’s sky and is worth looking out for if you can get the t

We know the symbolism of eclipses. A shadow is thrown across the Sun (solar) or Moon (lunar). As the shadow moves away, it reveals what’s been hidden. Eclipses often coincide with shadowy events and the recent Lunar Eclipse on July 16th has revealed the dark side of our society. I̵
