THIS MONTH'S ASTROLOGY Our astrology chart for the start of this month is relatively mild, the least combative one in many months. The chart, and the month itself, is easily overpowered though by the next round of eclipses: beginning with a total lunar eclipse in the...

THIS MONTH'S ASTROLOGY We start this month, despite its Leo credentials, in a curious quiet zone. In the last week of July the Leo sun was in direct aspect to all the big players, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Similarly, with Mercury now retrograding, Mars at the end of...

THIS MONTH'S ASTROLOGY It is obvious to everyone that we are at a pivotal point in our civilisation, which is also very clear astrologically. The ongoing instability, the tectonic changes, the teetering on the edge of potential catastrophe are reflected both by a...

THIS MONTH'S ASTROLOGY Befitting the Gemini time of year, it’s going to be a very busy month, with the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter spinning in the sign, at least initially. Relationships are front and centre, with Venus conjunct Chiron creating dynamic and fiery grand...

THIS MONTH'S ASTROLOGY The building intensity many of us have been feeling in recent weeks comes to a dangerous and combative peak at the start of this month, in the form of a super-powerful grand cross — arguably the most difficult of astrological constellations. As...

This month's chart is very similar to the one for March, primarily because retrograding Venus and Mercury have rejoined the North node in Pisces not far from Saturn, while still being conjunct Neptune. The most significant difference here though is that as of March...

THIS MONTH'S ASTROLOGY Once again, this month begins soon after a New Moon, this time in Pisces, adding the Moon to a conga line of planets, asteroids and points in the sign i.e. Sun, Saturn, Mercury, North Node, Psyche and Neptune! So, we can expect an excessively...

THIS MONTH'S ASTROLOGY   Sun in Aquarius trine Jupiter in Gemini As a pioneer of space, the higher realms of the human intellect and the interface between mind and spirit, the Aquarius Sun is very happy to be lining up with Jupiter who in many ways rules, along with...

THIS MONTH'S & THIS YEAR'S ASTROLOGY 2025 is going to be another tumultuous year, a turning point year and one in which we teeter on the knife edge of a deconstruction/reconstruction process, some of which will be subtle and others downright dangerous. It is also...

Accessing the Cosmos Within: Experiential Astrology   A re-print of Daniel Sowelu's article in the Federation of Australian Astrologers Journal in December 2024   Astrology is one of the most articulate systems for understanding the human psyche and the...

THIS MONTH'S ASTROLOGY Sun and Moon in Sagittarius Before we get too excited, the start of December is still in the Dark Moon phase even though both these lights are in the same sign. The exact New Moon is actually 17 hours after (central Australian time) but we can...

THIS MONTH'S ASTROLOGY   Even without the US elections, November was always going to be a volatile and stress inducing pressure cooker. We start the month 21 hours short of a New Moon in Scorpio which means that it begins during the dark Moon phase, that time of the...

THIS MONTH'S ASTROLOGY   It's going to be a particularly challenging month with another mix of positive Grand Trines and more difficult Grand Crosses entangled with a potent New Moon eclipse. As much of the action is in the sign of Libra and virtually all the...

THIS MONTH'S ASTROLOGY   Sun in Virgo conjunct Medusa, trine Hygeia in Taurus, trine Ceres in Capricorn, squaring Persephone in Sagittarius While the Sun is the primary symbol of our solar spirit and core masculine, his passage through Virgo is a yearly journey into...

THIS MONTH'S ASTROLOGY   Sun in Leo sextile Mars and Jupiter in Gemini, trining North Node in Aries Eight days ago the Sun left the more conservative sign of Cancer and went into the highly extrovert Leo, quite a distinctive shift in energy towards, at least in...

THIS MONTH'S ASTROLOGY Sun conjunct Venus in Cancer, trine Kali in Scorpio After moving in unison since mid-May the Sun and Venus, a most loving of combination, are now separating as a goddess of love moves ahead to join Leo on the ninth. While in Cancer the two have...

THIS MONTH'S ASTROLOGY   My first response to looking at June's chart is "Wow!" With the Sun, Venus and the magnificent Jupiter going into Gemini, there is more than a hint of an energetic spring, whatever hemisphere we are in. These will be followed by Mercury, the...

THIS MONTH'S ASTROLOGY We are going to have a rather Mars and Venus kind of month thanks to the emphasis on both Taurus and Aries, with their respective ruling planet's, Venus and Mars going into their home signs at the very beginning of the month. Mars adds even more...
