Seeing by Starlight
The puer-senex relationship, incels and the current crisis in masculinity, as well as the world of work are just some of the topics discussed in this article about Saturn's ingress into courageous (and some would say foolhardy) Aries on 25 May 2025.
On 30 March 2025, Neptune will change signs for the first time since 2011, ingressing into focused and self-assured Aries, where it will remain until 2039. Unlike some of the other Neptune in guesses, this one should be quite noticeable because of the stark contrast in emphasis and feel between the soft, nebulous, and enchanting energy of Pisces into the much more sharply defined, individualistic and wilful nature of Aries. These two signs mark the end and beginning of the zodiac. One is watery, open and diffused as boundaries dissolve and we merge with all that is. The other is fiery, highly independent and focused on asserting personal will and defending ego boundaries. So, a marked change in attitudes and worldviews should hardly come as a surprise.

CARDINAL GRAND CROSS & LUNAR ECLIPSE For many, April was a month when the ground literally seemed to move. A powerful and turbulent Cardinal Grand Cross involving Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Cancer, Mars in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn, keyed into the lunar eclipse in Libra mid-month, turbo-charging the days between April the 15th and… Continue reading Murder & Mayhem: The April 2014 Grand Cross
As one would expect from a month dominated by Martian energy, not to mention a lunar eclipse in Scorpio, April 2013 proved to be rather eventful, and somewhat bloody month. As well as the death of Britain’s first and (so far) only female Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher on the 8th in London at around 11am… Continue reading Tumult & Bloodshed: April 2013 & Mars
January 2013 saw the second inauguration of President Obama on the 20th and 21st. These events took place just as the Sun left conservative Capricorn (representative of the Republicans) and ingressed into progressive, egalitarian Aquarius (associated with Democratic values).
