As we sail into eclipse terrain, one has an overwhelming sense that the world is on the brink of something hugely humbling... something that could bring even the mightiest giant down to his knees. What could that 'something' be? Surely we are not lost in a sea of wishful thinking and false projections...

Digital Darwinism in the New Age – THE WEEK AHEAD: April 19-25
We are in for a dynamic, disruptive week ahead, since much of the inner (personal) planetary energy is shifting into feminine (receptive) signs, Pluto stationing and the Moon progressively heading towards her synodic culmination in a Hadean-style Scorpio Supermoon.

5 April
The Dying of the Old Patriarch: THE WEEK AHEAD: April 5-11
As we start to see the cracks forming in the matrix of the old patriarchy, the transiting Aries Sun, recently conjunct Chiron and flanked by a soon-Hesperus (evening star) Venus, challenges us to find and speak our true intrinsic voice.

Next Stop: Brave New World: THE WEEK AHEAD, March 15-21
By the end of this week, the (now-Neptunified) SUN finally leaves Pisces and reaches the all-critical Aries Equinox. In the remaining days, the hypersensitised ego has all but fully dissolved, exposing nothing but a refined soul who is ready to be incarnated into its new, 2021 form.

Dark Night of Ego-Dissolution and the Quest for Redemption – THE WEEK AHEAD: March 9-15
Those who are still intent to keep things the same are suffering enormously weakening tensions from all sides, and like a slowly capsizing ship, besieged by cruel waves and multifarious leaks throughout its hull, this world is desperately in need of an "all hands on deck" effort in order to repair and restore itself.

22 February
Between the Ridiculous and the Sublime… THE WEEK AHEAD: Feb 22-28
Our task during 'the human experience' is to rise beyond the petty squabbles that divide us in this grim, lower illusion of limitation and scarcity, to transcend from the world of suffering and fear by using all the knowledge and insight afforded to us by the heavens.

Reckless or Fearful About Change? – THE WEEK AHEAD: Feb 15-21
What continues to ensue over the next few days are conflicts which, due to either the reckless embrace or fear of change, threaten to shake our entire value system within ourselves, in our relationships with one another, and in the world at large.

In Pursuit of a New Hope: The Week Ahead – Feb 8-14
If ever there was a time when the world needed a new hope, some glimmer of positive inspiration that things might start to take a turn for the better, that there is light despite all of the darkness and confusion that currently enshrouds this earth, it would be now.

Revolution#5 – For Those About To Snap: THE WEEK AHEAD (Feb 1-7)
So, our Sun continues his epic hero's journey through Aquarius. There will be many twists and turns along his luminous path through February, one which will see many revolutionary changes and reforms take place, both within and all around.

Birth of a New Revolutionary Spirit – THE FORTNIGHT AHEAD (Jan 19-31)
...in the prelude to the Leo Full Moon (Jan 28), we will see several planets come to lock horns through a series of challenging dynamic aspects to one another in the early degrees of fixed signs.

The Bitter Winds of Change: THE WEEK AHEAD – Dec 07-13
It's now December and the icy, Aquarian winds of change are already upon us. Whilst much of humanity seems prepped for the big transition, falling diligently into the Capricornian line, the sheer force of how dramatically our collective consciousness has altered over the past 12 months as Jupiter and Saturn danced with Pluto has left many of us reeling...

The Pains of Metamorphosis: THE WEEK AHEAD – Nov 23-29
After an intense and strange kind of month, where everything just kept getting so gunky and uncertain, you would think that she Sadge Sun might deliver some relief and the good news we've been longing for. You might think...

THE WEEK AHEAD: The Question of Meaninglessness – Nov 16-22
After a two-month period of being routed back to the mid-degrees of Aries, Mars is now finally direct again, hedging his efforts into staging a 'come-back'. That's right, the impish god of action and punch-ons is picking up some pace again, but it won't be until the end of this year (22-23 Dec) that he finally takes charge, urging us to do the things we probably should have done a while ago. Will it be too late? With Neptune squaring the Nodes, we cannot turn back the tides of change.

Pathways to the Reconstruction: THE WEEK AHEAD – Nov 9-15
Well, the US election came but, as it appears, is not exactly gone. As the harshly critical Saturn/Pluto conjunction now prepares to be joined by the judicious Jupiter, the level of fanaticism around the deconstruction of our systems of governance, law, religiosity and moral certitude is only increasing.

Bracing Ourselves for the Big Storm: THE WEEK AHEAD – Oct 26-Nov 1
Yes, things are messy with no visible sign that order and balance will be restored any time soon. But then, this is apparently what we all want since nobody is really able to agree with anyone on anything right now. This is what the storm is about...

Shattering All Pretences and Preconceptions: THE WEEK AHEAD – Oct 19-25
Something enormous is occurring that in the next 12 months will recalibrate all matter into a higher form of being and interconnectedness (or eliminate it completely).

Balancing the Scales of Justice: The Month Ahead – October 2020
As the month of September draws to a close, we are somehow better-equipped with the necessary discretionary skills and acumen to make fairer judgements in the weeks ahead. This October will be a critical month.

Learning to Speak Up to Tyranny and Injustice: THE WEEK AHEAD – Sep 21-27
In the final days of September 2020, the Virgo Sun will reach the Equinox, inaugurating into Libra (Tuesday). This crossing marks a highly significant shift in the Solar cycle, heralding a change in the direction of the Sun's rays falling on Earth. Here, at the sacred turning point, we are called to open our eyes and ears to others as they all become equally significant.

Smeared Lenses: THE WEEK AHEAD: Sep 7-13
Nobody can deny that our world is going a little 'nuts' these days. Our 'informed' societies have slowly descended into such a state of absurdity and cognitive disorder that it now seems an impossible task to both ignore or bring things back into some semblance of the cohesive sensibility we used to know and love. Who can predict which way things will turn out when so much of what we hear seems distorted by our own inability to see things clearly?

Purification – THE WEEK AHEAD: Aug 24- 30
Virgo acts as the perfect filter through which humanity can examine its deeds, provides the Sun with a keen lens by which to scrutinise errors that need to be addressed and rectified. The mutable waveforms produced through this earthy perspex of the pure sunlight allows us to discern what's beneficial and to neatly organise and purify it so it serves its rightful purpose, as needed.

10 August
Waging War Against the Patriarchy: THE WEEK AHEAD: Aug 10-16
This week is most significant in that Jupiter and Saturn form another exact midpoint to Pluto - a picture which is not only potent in its capacity to overturn entire fortunes, but as Mars squares this point on Tue/Wed, he introduces extra duress and irritation into the game, as if to force drastic reaction to his individual ends

Pied Piper – THE WEEK AHEAD: Jul 27-Aug 2
Believe it or not, you too are part of the hell and fury of these times, and whether you join the brigades that are currently mustering toward a higher (or lower) plane, you will become a part of the historical transformation that is taking place on planet earth.

Crucible – THE WEEK AHEAD: Jul 20-26
With both the Cancer Moon and opposing Saturn dignified in this 180° standoff, life proffers us the uncomfortable prospect of feelings vs duty and obligation, viewed as rather a serious business in which 'doing the right thing' becomes tantamount, even if this means ignoring our instincts and emotions... or so it may seem.

The Delicate Art of Self-Discipline: THE WEEK AHEAD: July 13-19
If nothing else, last week's Lunar Eclipse has distinguished just how trapped and dissonant our private, inner-child experiences have become from everything being drummed into us by the grown-up world of social, religious, academic and political influence and indoctrination.

6 July
Gateway to the Reconstruction: THE WEEK AHEAD, July 6-12
We are heading into another very intense week of life-altering activity. As much as we might like to keep a smiley face on our mask, we are best reminded that underneath it all, things aren't so rosy at all during this intense period of the reconstruction.

Who Holds Up The Pillars of Society? THE WEEK AHEAD: Jun 29 – Jul 5

Total Eclipse of the Heart: THE WEEK AHEAD: Jun 15-21
There is no way to separate what's true and what's not among those who are easily lead, and the choice to turn off rather than to try to listen to all sides becomes a major hurdle. It is a perplexing conundrum, and this week challenges us at the core of our existence - our sense of safety and security.

Avoiding The Void – THE WEEK AHEAD: Jun 8-14
Following last week's potent and ideologically divisive Lunar Eclipse, we find ourselves sinking deeper into a strange, impossible-to-follow vortex of dissolution and dissociation from any semblance of reality.

Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics. THE WEEK AHEAD: May 18-24

THE WEEK AHEAD: May 4-10 What Can You Count On And Who Do You Trust?
How will we remember this year? Sure, we're only one-third of the way into 2020 but, by outer-planetary zodiac coverage, these first 4 months have already provided a flashing glimpse of what we might be dealing with until Nov-Dec.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Apr 27-May 3- Angels and Demons
Outermost Pluto slows to a grinding halt, turning retrograde, and we at once feel an ominous force pushing us to deal with our most intimate, vulnerable, well-repressed secret.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Apr 20-26 – Embodying the Spirit of Freedom
These are phenomenal 'times of change', and the necessary regeneration begins to takes a heavy toll upon the organism's otherwise indomitable human spirit.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Apr 13-19 – The Emphasis on Power and Domination
As the North Node pulls into its final, critical degree of Cancer, you may feel the need for homecoming in your heart; a strong pull towards family connections, your sentimental nature and to be closely in touch with the richness of your emotions.
-
5 April
Coping with Cosmic Stress – THE WEEK AHEAD: Apr 06-12
During periods of great stress, anxiety, loneliness, and alienation, our health is most prone to suffer from the anxiety-related disorders which we attribute to the effects of social isolation or social-distancing itself. It can be a time when we are forced to assess and re-balance our lives accordingly.

Total Enforcement of Social Controls… THE WEEK AHEAD: 30 Mar-05 April
So this is it now. The world of this virus pandemic, the social-distancing, self-quarantining, flattening the curve and all the strange new things we have to deal with in our ever more cloistered and socially-confined new lives. How long does this go on? When and how will this end?

Brave New World: THE WEEK AHEAD: Mar 23-29
