“Very good. I bought the workbook for Mercury, Venus and Mars, they are well organised, clear and really useful. Thanks”

Neptune in Aries and the Challenge of Non-Action

Jessica Davidson1 Comment

We’ve been exploring the meaning of Neptune in Aries and I found some notes on will and intention lurking in my drafts folder that seem relevant. Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of action and willpower and while Neptune is there, we may be challenged to spiritualise the way we act by learning about… Continue reading Neptune in Aries and the Challenge of Non-Action

Neptune in Aries: Spiritual Renewal and Becoming Yourself

Jessica DavidsonLeave a comment

Last time we explored the possibilities for the transit of Neptune in Aries which starts on 30th March 2025 and lasts until March 2039. Neptune in Aries represents the idealisation of individuals and heroic action and could bring a great spiritual and creative renaissance, alongside an increase in violence and war that spreads across borders.… Continue reading Neptune in Aries: Spiritual Renewal and Becoming Yourself

Jessica Davidson2 Comments

In a previous post we explored the history of Neptune in Aries but now it’s time to look forward. Neptune enters Aries on 30th March 2025 and stays there for about 14 years until March 2039 with a bit of toggling at either end. This transit will feel very different to the last 14 years… Continue reading Neptune in Aries – 2025 to 2039 – Possibilities

This spring the Mercury retrograde cycle syncs up with the Venus retrograde cycle and they go spelunking together in the underworld just as Neptune enters Aries for the first time in 165 years. Both Venus and Mercury cross paths with Neptune as they shuttle back and forth from Aries into Pisces and back again. You… Continue reading Mercury Retrograde in Aries and Pisces 2025

This year the Saturn Neptune cycle that started in 1989 comes to an end and the next cycle begins with the conjunction in 2025–26.

It tests how well our beliefs and… Continue reading Saturn Neptune Conjunction in Aries: Historical Examples

Venus Retrograde in Aries and Pisces 2025

This year the Venus retrograde cycle is pretty special because it coincides with the momentous event of Neptune entering Aries for the first time in 165 years. Venus enters her retrograde shadow in Pisces on 28th January and stations retrograde in Aries on 2nd March, crossing paths with Neptune along the way and then back… Continue reading Venus Retrograde in Aries and Pisces 2025

The Amazing Golden Hats of Bronze Age Astronomers

Jessica Davidson3 Comments

Last time we explored the way ancient peoples tracked the cycles of the sun and moon using stone circles, passage tombs and massive earthworks. They also encoded the angles of the solstices and lunar standstills into objects like the gold lozenge found near Stonehenge. There are many ways to encode astronomical information into objects and… Continue reading The Amazing Golden Hats of Bronze Age Astronomers

Last time we explored the current major lunar standstill or lunistice which happens once every 18.6 years and lasts for about 2 years. During this time the moon rises and sets in more extreme positions and reaches higher in the sky than the sun in the summer and lower in winter in the northern hemisphere.… Continue reading Ancient Astronomy and Lunar Standstills
