In 2023 we finally leave behind the Saturn Uranus square and enter a whole new archetypal landscape. We have two major ingresses, with Saturn entering Pisces and Pluto entering Aquarius, and the nodal axis shifts into Aries and Libra. But the year begins with the disruptive energy of 2022 still holding sway, with Mars retrograde… Continue reading The Astrology of 2023
In previous posts we’ve explored the archetypes and history of Saturn in Pisces, as well as its personal effects. Another way to get a feel for how this transit might work is to look at how the archetypes express themselves through mythology and storytelling. So in this post, we’ll explore some representative films that combine… Continue reading Films for Saturn in Pisces
As we approach the end of the year, Saturn and Uranus are still doing their little square dance, with Uranus conjunct the North Node and Saturn square the nodes. So we can still expect some disruption and tension as we let go of the old order and grapple with what the new brings. Saturn’s square… Continue reading Astro Journal December 2022
As we approach Saturn entering Pisces in March 2023, I thought it might be interesting to explore what happened last time we had this transit on a personal level. Last time, Saturn was in Pisces from 20th May to 30th June 1993, and then from 28th January 1994 to 6th April 1996. For me, this… Continue reading Astro Diary: Notes on Saturn in Pisces opposite Virgo Sun
The chaos of the Saturn Uranus square has set the world spinning into mind-boggling insanity, and we’re now in the eye of the storm. Perched between eclipses and with Mars retrograde, the tumult and confusion won’t end any time soon. The eclipses on the Taurus/Scorpio axis run into next year, with the north node in Taurus… Continue reading Astro Journal November 2022
Back in May we explored the archetypes and history of Saturn in Pisces, plus some of the recent history during the last three transits. Saturn will next be in Pisces from 2023 to 2026 with a few dips in and out when he reaches Aries in 2025. In fact, we’re about to enter a liminal… Continue reading Saturn in Pisces: Disillusionment and Spiritual Discipline
Astro Journal 2023 is now available in paperback and on Kindle at Amazon, and as an EPUB from my Payhip store. The paperback is taking a little while to become available for order in some stores – namely Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and Australia – but it should show up in the next few days,… Continue reading Astro Journal 2023 is out now!
As we move into winter in the northern hemisphere, the ‘West’ continues to hoist itself on its own petard. The whole world appears to be in uproar thanks to the energy crunch and monetary reset driving the collapse and uprisings. And there is no end in sight. October brings no respite, only more chaos, as… Continue reading Astro Journal October 2022
The summer is nearly over in the northern hemisphere and we’re heading towards the turning of the year into autumn and things are about to get a whole lot harder. Winter is coming. It’s time to start preparing – if you haven’t already – and go into squirrel mode. Gather and store as many nuts… Continue reading Astro Journal September 2022
Last week we explored the Mars in Gemini transit. Here are a few more rambling thoughts that didn’t quite fit in that post… To get a feel for what to expect with the coming Mars retrograde in Gemini, you can start by looking back at what happened last time. The last time Mars was retrograde… Continue reading Mars retrograde in Gemini – some historical context
We’ve got a long period of Mars in Gemini coming up. Normally, Mars spends about 6 weeks in each sign but this year he’s going retrograde and stretching his stay in Gemini to 7 months. Mars enters Gemini on 20 August and doesn’t leave until 25 March 2023, so you’ll need to get used to… Continue reading Mars in Gemini: August 2022 to March 2023
When searching for an image for the Off-Grid Astrology course and book, I found the perfect one on Wikipedia. It’s called An Astrologer at his desk and it comes from an old book by William Lilly which was published in 1753. I love the sun in the corner, smiling down on the astrologer happily playing… Continue reading Off-Grid Astrology Cover Image: an Astrologer at his desk
