One of the sweetest and most stable aspects occurs in the next few hours, as the Taurus Moon cuddles up to Venus at 6 – 7 Taurus. This bodes well for grounding and stability and can bring solid or real progress, especially in a romantic or wellbeing situation. It’s a cosmically sweet pa

Practical, financial, or relationship changes will be possible when Venus forms a trine to Pluto, at 15° Taurus and 15° Capricorn on March 30. A little push can lead to a profound or lasting change. Since Venus has her full array of talents and resources available, from her position in one of her r

I often get asked if I plan my life according to astrology. In some ways I do – I usually consider the Moon Phase before scheduling a workshop, (Sydney workshop info is here) and definitely used astrological principles when selecting my wedding date – but in other ways, like day to day living, I do

I am in the West Loop area of Chicago this weekend. Yesterday (Saturday) I taught a full day workshop for the Friends of Astrology. We looked at natal or birth charts in the morning, and went through how to add some older ideas and concepts into chart interpretation. In the afternoon I presented on

There are a number of ways to interpret an eclipse. Arguably the simplest approach is to focus on the house in your natal chart that the eclipse falls in, or activates. To do this, find the house that holds 25/26 Aries and Libra (the most recent Lunar eclipse degree), and the house that holds 8 -9

How was your Taurus Full Moon weekend? Did food feature? I hosted book club at my place on Sunday, and prepared a yummy feast. It’s been a while since we’ve entertained and I’d almost forgot how much fun it was with menu planning, shopping, indulging. (I’m being serious 

I read this post, about two commitment weekends recently which sounded oh so Taurus Moon. Sarah Wilson writes about how our weekends have become so full of trying to catch up, we’re missing the point. This idea of slowing down, of doing less, or even having time in which you do nothing, mayb

David Beckham has announced his retirement. Naturally I was curious about the astrology. I know he’s a Taurus, but wasn’t sure what else he had in his chart. As he’s a Taurus, David has Saturn opposing his Sun as it moves through Scorpio. For David, this transit is active between

New Moon Solar Eclipse 19 Taurus Aussie eclipse expert, Bernadette Brady, describes this eclipse as being ‘about the release of tension’.  She says, ‘A situation which has been lingering will suddenly clear’. Loss or emotion may be part of this release, but ultimately a troublesome situation clea

My Moon-in-Cancer-in-the-9 House man loves to read. He’s often devouring tomes on faith, philosophy – and history. One little gem I snagged from his bedside table is ‘The Seven Whispers’ by Christina Baldwin. It’s subtitle is ‘A spiritual practice for times like these’, which aptly sums up the seve

Often when Taurus is activated I talk about stuff. As regular readers know, I love Feng Shui, which is a great way to organise your belongings – and always begins with a good de-clutter. Coincidentally, this feature of mine, on Feng Shui and published in WellBeing, was featured on Twitter in

Saturn in Scorpio is currently retrograde, or moving backwards. This serves to emphasis a particular part of the Zodiac, in this case the space between 4 – 11 Scorpio. Saturn in Scorpio retrogrades through this part of the sky between February 17 – July 7. If you have planets or chart

I started yesterday oh so slowly. After the 48 hours Aries New Moon busy-ness that was mid week, I needed a change of pace. Thankfully, some kind of divine wisdom placed the slowest pace sign – Taurus – after the fastest – Aries – so we can all have a chance to catch our br

Reading this post, by Lara Owen on Imbloc, reminded me of the cross quarter festivals, and that one is happening this weekend. There’s a three-month interval between a solstice and an equinox, or vice versa. Six weeks is the middle point, when the Sun is half way between a solstice and an equ

A client once described the blend of Taurus and Sagittarius as ‘moving scenery‘, like what you might see out the window of a train. They had the Sun in one and the Moon in the other (can’t remember exactly which way around!). Taurus is slow paced – measured you might say
