ASTROLOGY OF NOW

Caught between one's heroic duty and not wanting to disappoint, we are prone to be swayed by the whimsied needs of other people and forfeit our own creative potential. Sometimes, we do that, thinking we can help, but it's no good....

It's been a tumultuous couple of weeks since the Aquarius Supermoon at the start of August, with much frustration and, at times, things likely to turn more aggressive and potentially violent when there was no suitable channel for the highly charged energy we've all experienced at some point...

The Leo SUN/VENUS trine CHIRON in Aries isn't a gentle, soothing embrace; it's a defiant roar. It challenges you to face your pain, not with soft, schmaltzy sweet caresses, but with fierce, fiery conviction....

Luna now hovers over URANUS, and by the time this transit's through, we may feel it's best to avoid those relationships built on too many demands (especially the one-sided kind)...

Will you choose honesty knowing it might lead to serious financial losses, or let your true authentic self shine through even if it might jeopardize everything you currently have or hope to gain in the future?

The Moon is currently in the later stages of Aries, working up a fiery, feisty mood. It passes between Chiron and Eris, which are invisible to the naked eye but still have a powerful influence on our emotions....

You can't fight this. All you can do to pave the way to emotional healing and a revitalised spirit is keep things as simple as possible...

Join me here on COSMIC BUS, our premium astrology webcast, where we examine the current state of things, what is happening, and where it is headed with the aid of the astrology of now...

It's enough under PLUTO's square to the NODES to feel like everyone is getting on your nerves; MARS' triggering this point from Virgo means we're ready to fly off the handle, willing to lose everything over the slightest little provocation. One wrong word and it's BOOM TIME 4 EVA!

It's not a restful, easy month, but when things swing wildly from edge to edge, something's just gotta break...

No two of us are the same. In a world filled with diverse voices, equality means allowing everyone the opportunity to find harmony in the choir of thoughts and ideas...

In just 24 hours, VENUS will be conjunct her innermost brother, MERCURY, right at the apex of this YOD, forming a celestial union that shuttles in interdimensional ideas, feelings, perceptions, and impressions...

Don't let those weevils get the better of you! You don't wanna be doing anything you're gonna regret later... ...or perhaps, should you now??

When Venus turns about-face to retrograde, a profound shift occurs in our magnetic resonance. Our most primal, animalistic appetites awaken, and instinctual powers of attraction lead us to grapple with internal conflicts between our usually outgoing, socially extroverted nature and a yearning for secrecy, introversion, complexity, and perversion...

The transition of Pluto into Aquarius, the zodiac's most revolutionary and destabilising sign, raises humanity's prospect of facing periods of chaos and uncertainty as governance of the physical world and all its resources come to evolve....

When faced with a string of tough circumstances, we must make a choice. How we handle these challenging times is entirely up to us...

Each of us has a unique 'something' in common with others, despite our differences. Find it in the next "weirdo" you encounter...

Monday's NEW MOON in Cancer might seem like the perfect time to rekindle heart connections and strengthen family ties. However, opposing PLUTO, crossing the NODES, things will no doubt get insanely gnarly leading into next week...

Unless you bring some light into this, you are effectively an unquestioning automaton, a mere integer in the great algorithm...

A most frightful shift is happening, and, as history reverberates, the most significant transformations have been fueled not solely by widespread scientific and technological progress, but rather by fanatical ideologies brewing into a collective frenzy that, one way or another, when they gather into a storm have a god-awful way of propelling humanity forward....

it's pretty likely that the new round of 'immigrants and revolutionaries' are set to stage the mother of all reveals. Time to pull up the old DVD of "Independence Day"....

Even when we instinctively sense that something is not right with the prevailing narrative, we often find it difficult to break free from the clutches of conformity...

HOTTEST JULY EVER!

Like a massive iceberg about to intercept the course of a titanic liner, Pluto is now just only three weeks away from crossing the path of the Nodal Axis. Destinies will be changed. Entire fortunes will be reversed. History has never been repeated quite so ironically. Only your ignorance stands in the way....

In the Uranian freakzone, how are you hoping to make contact with distant worlds when you can't even connect with those next to you, your own kind, who speak your own language....

One thing about humans is that their lives are filled with stories. We think in stories rather than facts, data, numbers and equations because stories are soothing to our soul and embellish our otherwise cruel and mundane existence on this physical plane.

...the power of social media came along and recalibrated the way we all lived our lives, and you, like most of us, found yourself caught up in the tidal wave of transformations, trying to keep afloat and adapt to all the changes that unfolded before you....

Did I hear someone say Gemini season was a bit nuts? Umm, wait till you see what's about to go down during Cancertime (happy Solstice!)...

The unravelling of our civilization is evident in its increasing homelessness and societal despair. Yet opposite this pitiful darkness, a flicker of primordial light glimmers in the distance, offering the potential for mass awakening. The Solstice Sun promises an uptake in energy, but it requires courage to maintain an open heart amidst the turmoil...

After a pretty challenging period, where Jupiter remained in a tight semi-square to Saturn throughout July-October 2022 and then again during Feb-March this year, this first sextile phase is set to ease things off....

Something is messing with our usual transmission. "Reality" ain't quite what it used to be. But then, was it ever?

As we've been discussing, when Neptune crosses a new lunation, maintaining a sceptical stance is crucial. Trust none of what you hear, and doubt everything you see before you. Learn to use your nose to sniff out nonsense...

As Pluto retrogrades into Capricorn, he exposes the illusions and shadows that have shaped our most corporeal values and aspirations and, in doing so, annihilates it all as old dark face clears the road for what may lay ahead...

When Saturn slows to a halt like this, you can sense the karmic gunk hanging low...

We are at the peak of all human intelligence. What is it worth when we think too much and feel too little?

In the controversy that follows, be sure to say precisely what you mean.

Don't be caught off guard. Your own startling behaviour is likely to leave you startled and wondering wtf just happened....

True beauty doesn't need a grand entrance or a loud announcement. It gracefully manifests itself in the quietest corners, unveiling its delicate charm when least expected...

Stand firm like a mountain, rooted deep into the earth, for it is in unwavering strength that we find our true power.
