Yesterday Venus nudged its way into earthy Taurus, (check out Jorge’s great post below), and today Mars jumps into fiery Aries, where it remains until June 9th! Plus, tomorrow is Bealtaine, (1st day of summer, in the Northern Hemisphere), and Pluto goes stationary retrograde!!

Venus has just entered Taurus, one of the signs it rules. In Taurus Venus stands for pleasure, sensuality, and well-being. It's a phase where we might feel a greater sensory appeal, promoting connection with the body and placing increased value on stability, security, and peace.

Tonight's Full Moon in Scorpio brings a deep, transformative energy. The Moon is in a square aspect to Pluto in Aquarius, adding intensity to the emotional experience of this lunation.

Although the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction occurs every 14 years, there hasn’t been one in Taurus, since 1941. So, for many of us, this will be our first and last experience of this conjunction in this Venus ruled sign!

The Sun ingresses into Taurus on Friday, the day of the Mercury-Venus conjunction – and of course Friday is named for Freya’s Day, the day of Venus. So Friday will be a particularly Venusian day – a good day to contact friends perhaps, socialise and appreciate loved ones.

As if the recent solar eclipse and current retrograde Mercury weren’t enough, here’s Mars now conjoined to Saturn at 14 degrees Pisces.

The solar eclipse in Aries puts our relationships in a spotlight. We become aware of the ways in which we don’t feel free or if we feel alone.

Venus entered Aries today, inviting more action and dynamism in interpersonal relationships.

Mercury is slowing down now, as it approaches its station on Monday to go retrograde until 25th April.

As Mars embodies the archetype of the warrior, in Pisces we can think of a Tai Chi fighter, poetic in movement, fluid, and subtle. It's the peaceful warrior, the soldier for peace.

Happy Spring Equinox Everyone! The Sun is now in Aries and the tide has well and truly turned towards spring for those of us in the northern hemisphere.

On this celebration of Love day, the invitation from the planetary realms is to dive into the depths of our heart, and remember that we are all equal.

On 21st April (UT), there will be an exact conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus at 21 degrees Taurus – the current Jupiter-Uranus cycle, which began in 2011, is reaching its close.

With the Sun illuminating Pluto at the anaretic, last degree and seconds of Capricorn, for the last time in our lifetime, big changes are afoot!

If we imagine the planetary energies in the skies as a live orchestra, 2024 brings some distinctive new tunes, based on notes that were briefly introduced in 2023.

Although Capricorn is not particularly a relationship sign, Aquarius is a step further removed from relationships, so it will be interesting to notice subtle and not so subtle changes, in our relationships with family, friends, work colleagues and community groups.

Mars entered Gemini on August 20, 2022, beginning an extended stay in the sign of the twins.

Mars enters Taurus on Jul 5, 2022, beginning a stay until late August…

Mars dove into the deep waters of oceanic Pisces on April 14th, swimming towards his home sign of Aries, which he’ll reach on May 24th. Along the way, he’ll meet with Neptune and make easy connections to Uranus in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn. Venus and Jupiter will both leave the Pisces before Mars gets a chance to meet with them.
