This eclipse is on the Scorpio Taurus axis, bringing to light issues around safety and security especially of the earth and climate, food and agriculture and finances and the economy. The moon is conjunct the fixed star Algol, said to be one of the most unfortunate, violent, and dangerous stars in the heavens, … Continue reading →

The Great Mutation

Your Soul Potential Posted on by

Every 20 years the two social planets, Jupiter and Saturn, which symbolise the structures of our society, come together in the sky in what is known as a conjunction.  This “Great Conjunction” has recently coincided with the transition between decades i.e. coming together in 2000, opposing in 2010, coming together in 2020 and so on.  This cycle represents endings and beginnings as old structures disintegrate and new forms begin to take shape in society.

Embracing Retrograde

Your Soul Potential Posted on by

The concept of retrograde in astrology refers to an optical illusion from the perspective of the Earth.

If you are on the faster one, the one beside you appears to be going backwards; even though they … Continue reading →
