One of the big transits for 2021 is Saturn square Uranus. This is beginning right now and will continue until December. Saturn symbolises the tradition, hierarchy and those in charge. Uranus is disruption, the rebel and the revolutionary. One of the main ways I see this playing out is in the global financial systems. Uranus [...]
On 21st December Jupiter and Saturn meet to begin a new 200 year cycle, having moved from the element of Earth into Air. I wrote about the kinds of things this represents here. There is another aspect to this cycle that I also want to discuss. Jupiter and Saturn meet every 20 years and describe [...]
During 2020 Jupiter and Saturn have been meeting in the sky, in what is known as a great conjunction. This synodic cycle occurs every 20 years, and is said to describe the Zeitgeist – the ‘spirit of the times’. What is most interesting about the upcoming conjunction is that it happens in Aquarius, an Air [...]
At 2.45am London time yesterday, June 28th, Mars moved into his home sign of Aries. Usually Mars spends about 6 weeks in each sign, but once every two years it goes retrograde, meaning it spends a longer period in one or two signs.

The major astrology of this time relates to the conjunction of Saturn and Pluto. While this was exact in mid January, it is such a big cycle that the energies and themes of this transit will be present for the next few years. It is the connections between the slow moving outer planets that describe [...]
When Saturn shows up in astrology, either in a difficult aspect in a natal chart, or as a transit to a key element in our chart, fear is often the initial reaction. It’s not uncommon for astrologers and people who understand some astrology to suffer from ‘Saturnophobia’. This is because Saturn transits do tend to [...]
Anyone who follows the movement of the planets will be acutely aware that January 12th, 2020 is the day of the exact Saturn Pluto conjunction in Capricorn. There has been much already written about this, and what it could mean on the world stage. Undoubtedly it is a huge transit, symbolic of big changes being [...]
Last week, BBC radio show host Danny Baker was sacked after tweeting an image of a chimpanzee dressed in a top hat, overcoat and cane. His caption, ‘Royal baby leaves hospital’ was a reference to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s new baby. The BBC fired him because they said the chimp image of the mixed-race [...]
South African athlete and Olympic gold medalist, Caster Semanya, has been embroiled for some time in a legal battle with the governing body of athletics, the IAAF, over the nature of her gender. She is female, but was born with XY chromosomes, normally associated with being male, and has a high level of testosterone, which [...]
