April of 2024 is without question, the most action – packed month of the year. As new pathways open up, dramatic and exciting course corrections become possible. The month begins with Mercury stationing retrograde at 27 Aries, winding up on the 26th at 15 degrees Aries. While Mercury retrograde is set to bring the regular variety of delays, setbacks and snafus, he will station direct conjunct the North Node. Thus, whatever has been stuck in a cosmic traffic jam will resume to free flowing and fast paced movement. Mercury in Aries is the epitome of “act first, think later.” Even though there ma ..read more

Venus’ retrograde from 28 – 12 degrees Leo – from July 23 – September 4 can be a time where themes of joy, pleasure and fun can be difficult to connect to. When Venus retrogrades, she descends into the Western horizon and embarks upon her journey into the underworld for around 40 days. During this cycle, there are micro cycles where Venus’ visibility and solar phase shifts and changes. As such, we may experience different events which offer new insights and perspectives. Venus eventually disappears from the night sky around August 2, when she reaches 15 degrees of separation from the Sun. Arou ..read more

Welcome to the Cancer Solstice! For as long as I can remember I’ve always loved this time of year. As a child, it was the excitement and anticipation of an approaching birthday. As an astrologer, it’s my peak period to not only honour the slowing down of the Sun, but also to welcome a new profected time lord. I have a webinar where you can learn all about profections! The Sun moves into Cancer on the 21st in the North and the 22nd, here in Australia. Thus, marking one of two of the Sun’s major turning points of the year. If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, like me, we celebrate the longest n ..read more

This is a phrase my mother used to say a lot. And while for the most part, I think she’s right, though not entirely. After just shy of twenty years studying astrology and watching the cycles of the stars play out in people’s lives, I do see doors close and open. Just not always in that order. Sometimes a door opens before the other one has shut. You might meet someone you’re interested in pursuing a relationship with before you’ve finally ended the one you’re already in. Ideally, you’d secure a new job before you give notice of your resignation in a current role. In most situations, it’s bette ..read more

Venus enters Pisces on January 26 – 27 if you’re in Australia, where she’ll stay until Febuary20. Thus, the next three weeks see one of the skies most helpful planets in one of her best signs as Venus is said to be exalted in Pisces. This may be an unpopular opinion, but there’s something about the idea of exaltation that actually impedes the expression of a planet. Though that impediment is for the planets’ own benefit. If you consider Venus in Taurus, where Venus is attached to things while Venus in Libra is attached to people. Venus in Pisces has no attachment at all. In fact, any form of d ..read more

The Solstice’s have always been a special time for me. You see, I was born just a few days after the June Solstice. When I was about 11, my Big Pa explained to me the longest and shortest days of the year. I remember feeling a bit ripped off that my birthday falls on one of the shortest days of the year in the Southern Hemisphere. About 15 years after that, I began learning astrology. I started to understand why, other than it being close to my birthday, the Solstices were so special. The term Solstice, is Latin for sun standing still. Twice a year, in June and in December, the Sun embarks on ..read more

Venus arrives in Sagittarius on November 16 until December 10 and with her, she brings a renewed sense of optimism and inspiration toward all things relationships, luxury and pleasure. October and the early part of November brought some of 2022’s most challenging skies. And while the ingress of one of the faster moving planets generally doesn’t bring significant events, it can certainly bring a welcome relief in the weather. Even though Venus has no special gift or talent in Sagittarius – known as peregrine, she does have an interesting journey through this particular cycle. In Sagittarius, sh ..read more

Out into the danger zone… I’m not sure if that song title from Top Gun aptly describes the astrology for the next several months, or not, though there’s no doubt we’re moving into a different zone of sorts. The particular zone we’re heading into in Mars retrograde in Gemini. The last time this happened was in 2007 / 2008. Pluto was at the tale end of Sagittarius, just like now where it’s at the tale end of Capricorn. Mars in Gemini is tipped to be a peak period of confusion, fatigue and mental overload. Mars first entered Gemini on August 20 and will station retrograde on October 30 at 25 degr ..read more
