Solar eclipse in Leo
SOLAR ECLIPSE IN LEO — 12th August On 12th August the Moon passes between us and the Sun at 20 degrees Leo. It’s a total solar eclipse. Leo last had one in 1999. It sits near the South Node, so it ends things rather than starting them. Whatever it closes stays closed. Leo rules identity and being seen. Expect a moment of “I can’t keep doing this for the applause.” Who feels it most: anyone with planets or angles around 15-25 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus or Scorpio. Everyo

Mars moves into Cancer
Mars moves into Cancer today, until September 28th and the usual fiery and on the front foot God of War isn’t at his happiest here. It's a placement known as being in "fall," meaning the planet's usual directness gets blocked. You probably won't see people picking fights over this period but you may see them going quiet, defensive, or overly focused on home and family instead of saying what's actually bothering them. So perhaps you can expect more passive-aggression than open

Venus enters Libra 6th August Venus moves in to the sign where she’s most at home on 6th August.
Venus enters Libra 6th August Venus moves in to the sign where she’s most at home on 6th August, highlighting the fact that relationships flourish where there is balance. Libra reminds us that love is not measured by how much we sacrifice but by the space we create for mutual respect, beauty and reciprocity. When Venus moves through her own sign, our attention naturally turns towards the quality of our connections and the subtle agreements that underpin them. We can become

Full moon in Aquarius
The full moon in Aquarius on the 29th of July is at 6 degrees and sits opposite the Sun in Leo at the same degree. The Sun and Jupiter are exactly conjunct at the same degree forming its yearly Cazimi where Jupiter is at exactly the heart of the Sun. The Leo Aquarius axis is always a bit of a juxtaposition, one wants to be seen the other wants to belong to something bigger than yourself. One is about your own fire and the other about the group you’re part of and under this

Leo Season
The Sun Steps Into Leo Today the Sun crosses into Leo. Four weeks where the year turns toward performance, play and the parts of ourselves we usually keep for best. I personally love Leo dominant energy, they usually bring the party and are great company. Jupiter, the planet of expansion and luck, has been sitting in Leo since early summer and is building toward a cazimi on the 29th of July, this is the point where it sits at the heart of the Sun. Expect the coming days to

Cancer New Moon
New Moon in Cancer The Moon comes home tonight, meeting the Sun in the sign she rules and there's a gentleness to that which I don't think we're always taught to trust. We're so used to new Moons meaning goals and vision boards and five year plans. This one isn't asking for any of that. It's asking what actually makes you feel safe. Not what looks safe from the outside. What feels like home in your body. Mercury is still moving backwards through Cancer as this new Moon lands,

Introducing Celestial Landscapes For years my work has lived in two separate places. On one side the charts, the readings, the quiet unpacking of a person's placements and what they mean for the life they are living. On the other side the painting, the landscapes I return to again and again, the light on a loch, the mist over a mountain, the particular gold of a Scottish evening. I have always loved both, but I never quite saw how to bring them together until now. Celestial L

Over the next day or so there are a few notable planetary influences that you may want to know about as they will affect us all to varying degrees. On the 29th at 18.36, Mercury stations retrograde at 26 degrees of Cancer and remains there until late on the 23rd of July. This is a time to revisit, revise and reconnect, and in sensitive Cancer it turns us toward home, family and feeling. The cardinal signs feel it most, Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn but Cancer most of al

Mars in Gemini
Mars in Gemini Mars moves into Gemini today and meets Uranus, the awakener. Mars is your drive and the part of you that acts and moves forward and in Gemini it runs through the mind, through ideas and words and curiosity. Near Uranus that energy turns electric so expect sudden ideas, a restlessness that wants change, thoughts moving faster than usual. Keep a notebook close, because insight arrives in flashes now. What makes it easier is a sextile from Mars to Mercury and Jupi

A Change in the Wind?
New World Order and The Predictions of Andre Barbault. I’m always really interested in the thoughts of other Astrologers and how they convey the current planetary movements and aspects. This is an Ancient study dating back to 2 BC and since then the study of planetary patterns and the birthing of new planets has remained. There have been many prominent Astrologers over the years including Ptolemy, Bonatti, Nostradamus and Jung to mention but a few. The 20th century produce

Gemini Season
Today the Sun moves into Gemini, the air sign ruled by Mercury, and the energy begins to shift. Taurus season asked us to slow down, ground ourselves, and reconnect with the physical world. Gemini season lifts the pace again. The mind wakes up. Conversations flow more easily. Ideas come quickly, often all at once. Gemini is curious by nature. It wants to ask questions, make connections, learn something new and see where a conversation might lead. There’s a lightness to this e

Venus in Cancer
Venus moved into Cancer on the 19th of May and stays until the 14th of June. We are still very much inside this energy. This is Venus at her most comfortable. She has the safety here to love quietly and deeply. Where Cancer sits in your chart is where this will land for you. First house. A softening in how you present yourself. Second house. A pull toward genuine security around money and resources. Third house. Warmer communication and deeper bonds with those close by. Fourt

Saturn return in Aries
Saturn Return in Aries - Are You in It Right Now? Saturn is back in Aries, and for some of you, that is not just a collective transit it is deeply, personally yours. Every 27 to 29 years, Saturn returns to the exact position it held in the sky at the moment of your birth. This is the Saturn Return, one of astrology’s most significant rites of passage. It is not a punishment. It is an initiation. Saturn, as the great teacher of the zodiac, shows up and asks you plainly: have

Full Moon at 11 degrees Scorpio 1st May 2026
What rises to the surface cannot be unseen THE SIGNIFICANCE OF A FULL MOON A full moon occurs every month when the sun and moon sit directly opposite each other in the sky, with the earth between them. It is the peak of the lunar cycle the moment of maximum light and maximum illumination. Whatever has been growing since the new moon two weeks prior now reaches its fullness.

Taurus Season
Welcome to Taurus Season! The Sun officially moved into Taurus in the early hours of April 20th, and honestly? We needed this energy. The cosmic energy has been pretty full on of late and a little bit jarring. So as the Sun moves into the sign of the bull to join Taurus ruling planet Venus, let’s hope we have some soothing energy to accompany it. The story behind the Bull. Taurus is Latin for bull and is one of the oldest documented constellations, dating back to the Early

Mars moves into Aries
Mars returns to Aries on 9th April 2026, and with it comes a surge of forward-moving energy. This is Mars in its own sign, unfiltered, instinctive, and direct. There is no waiting here, no careful deliberation. This is the part of you that knows, acts, and deals with the consequences later. After periods of emotional processing or slower momentum, this shift feels immediate. Like something within you has been switched back on. This is a call to step into your own authority an

Sun conjunct Saturn
Big cosmic energy hits tomorrow March 25th, the Sun meets Saturn at 4 degrees Aries. This is the first time this conjunction has happened in Aries at this degree in nearly 30 years, and it's landing right on top of the huge Saturn-Neptune shift that's been quietly reshaping things since February. So yes, this one matters. You might feel it as a sudden heaviness, or like your plans are hitting an invisible wall. Maybe a bit of self-doubt creeps in, or things just feel slower a
