Some years ago, on a night of wild-life, I asked to meet the Master of Aquarius, to question him about the storms battering the Planet even then.

The recent January full moon was the precursor to a rare astrological conjunction between Saturn and Pluto that symbolised, like the full moon only far more so, aspects of finality and loss, challenge and accountability. 

The start of each December is a significant time for me, as I ponder a special month that includes the beginning of winter, the Solstice, Christmas and the Festival of Lights. 

Fires burn in many lands as water falls on many others.  The ground that now is soaked will in its turn be iced and burned, just as the places that are ablaze will be wet and cold one day.  Fire and Ice, Ice and Fire, the way of the world since time began.

This is a special week astrologically and spiritually, as the September Equinox on Monday coincides with the movement of our Sun into Libra.

The Dark of the Moon approaches, and Mother Moon is entering the last three days of her present life but knowing a new one is imminent in her rebirth, her New Moon, on 30^th August.

The new full moon approaches, strongly influenced this time by Leo, so full of strength and power and drive and worldly presence.  It is the month of all months in the annual calendar when the focus should be on the human self, and yet, this time, the sense of self is slipping away, leaving an ambiguity of identity and a space where the human being is meant to be.  Who are you?

July is a powerful month dominated by eclipses and the influence of mischievous Mercury spinning backwards. We are half way through an extraordinary period……

Tomorrow’s total solar eclipse will not be visible to many of you who read my words, but you will feel the effects as a number of astrological strands come together to create a mosaic of opportunity and significance. Please do not ignore the gifts of growth this time will bring.

The photograph yesterday of a black hole in a far distant galaxy was headline news all over the world, eclipsing even Brexit in its importance.
