Thursday 1st October 2026

October starts with a troublesome Fixed T-square already manifest and lasting for for 5 more days involving Mercury, Mars and Pluto. It's also a month with Mercury and retrograde Venus in Scorpio (up to the 25th), so it has something of a sting in the tail and it finishes in climatic fashion with a difficult Full Moon in Taurus, square Pluto. Onwards and upwards. 02.44 The very rapidly waning and accelerating Moon conjunction Uranus at 6 Gemini 07.06 The Moon at 8 Gemini waning trine The Sun at 8 Libra 07.35 The Moon at 8 Gemini waning quincunx Venus at 8 Scorpio 12.50 The Moon at 12 Gemini waxing sextile Saturn at 12 Aries 14.36 The Sun at 8 Libra waning semi-sextile Venus at 8 Scorpio 15.28 Mercury at 2 Scorpio waning quad-novile Saturn at 12 Aries 19.15 Mercury at 2 Scorpio waxing quintile Jupiter at 20 Leo 20.42 The Moon is at perigee, closest to the Earth and fastest all month.

Saturday 3rd October 2026

Venus turns retrograde.

Mars opposes Pluto.

Well, the Fixed T-square of Mercury, Mars and Pluto is peaking right now. Planetary tensions are high. Correspondingly global news has revealed a botched execution in the USA, a global diesel crisis, a release of prisoners in the UK and school riots in France. In addition today 00.00-14.00 GMT a Cardinal T-square is manifest involving the Moon, the Sun and Saturn. Mars is opposite Pluto. The Sun opposes Saturn. This is a tense weekend. 00.39 The fast moving Moon decelerating at 3 Cancer waxing square Neptune at 3 Aries 01.10 The Moon at 3 Cancer waxing quincunx Pluto at 3 Aquarius 01.36 The Moon at 3 Cancer waning trine Mercury at 3 Scorpio 07.16 VENUS TURNS RETROGRADE till Nov 14th. 10.16 The Moon at 8 Cancer waning trine Venus at 8 Scorpio 10.39 Mars at 3 Leo opposition Pluto at 3 Aquarius 13.26 The Moon is at Cardinal Last Quarter 15.09 The Moon at 11 Cancer waxing square Saturn at 11 Aries. The Moon is then void of course for a massive 31.8 hours.

Sunday 4th October 2026

Monday 5th October 2026

Moon, Mars and Jupiter in Leo for two days.

Fun and frolics for two days, with the Moon, Mars and Jupiter all in Leo. Everything becomes magnified. Life feels less like a quiet routine and more like a main-stage performance. The Moon is fairly closely aligned with Mars today, square Mercury and Venus, opposite Pluto. This may well bring intense astrological tension today. 03.38 The Moon at 3 Leo waxing trine Neptune at 3 Aries 04.14 The Moon at 3 Leo opposition Pluto at 3 Aquarius 05.25 Closest conjunction Moon Mars 0.40 degree (UK times and angle). 06.02 The Moon conjunction Mars at 4 Leo 08.16 The Moon at 5 Leo waxing sextile Uranus at 5 Gemini 09.44 The Moon at 6 Leo waning square Mercury at 6 Scorpio 13.20 The Moon at 8 Leo waning square Venus at 8 Scorpio 18.12 The Moon at 11 Leo waxing trine Saturn at 11 Aries 20.39 The Moon at 13 Leo waning sextile The Sun at 13 Libra 21.47 Mercury now in his shadow at 7 Scorpio waning tri-septile Saturn at 11 Aries STATE OF THE SKY. (ALL TIMES ON THIS SITE ARE GMT.) The recent eclipse season is now behind us. The Sun today is at 13 degrees Libra. Mercury and retrograde Venus are both in Scorpio. The Moon, Mars and Jupiter are in Leo. Saturn and Neptune are in Aries. There are 77 days to the Northern hemisphere Winter Solstice. Venus, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are retrograde. Mercury turns retrograde on Oct 24th. MERCURY Mercury entered Scorpio on Sept 30th, joining Venus in this sign. (Both planets are in Scorpio till Oct 25th). Mercury has his retrograde phase in this sign and resides here with customary scorpionic intensity, for a lengthy 67 days. Mercury entered his shadow on Oct 4th. Mercury is conjunct retrograde Venus at 8 Scorpio on Oct 7th. Mercury turns retrograde on 24th October at 21 degrees Scorpio. Mercury squares Mars on Oct 30th (2nd hit)- more head banging. Mercury is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun on Nov 4th at 12 Scorpio. Then as a morning star Mercury turns direct again on Nov 13th at 5 degrees Scorpio. (Venus turns direct the following day-a pretty special time). Mercury leaves his shadow on Nov 30th and enters Sagittarius on Dec 6th. Mercury squares Mars a final time from Sagittarius on Dec 9th. Well then this residence is noteworthy for whipping up a wilfull determination all around. Nothing is easy about this period but it's a good time for getting to the bottom of the matter. Mercury retrograde periods ahead. Oct 24 to Nov 13 2026 Feb 9 to Mar 3, 2027 June 10 to July 4, 2027 Oct 7 to Oct 28, 2027 Jan 24 to Feb 14, 2028 May 21 to Jun 14, 2028 Sept 19 to Oct 11, 2028 Jan 7 to Jan 27, 2029 VENUS Venus entered Scorpio on Sept 10th as a bright evening star. Venus turned retrograde at 8 degrees Scorpio on Oct 3rd. Retro-Venus is overtaken by Mercury at 8 Scorpio on Oct 7th. Intense words and deep emotion. She squares Mars on Oct 10th, squandering energy, and squares Pluto a second time on Oct 20th. Venus is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun on October 24th at 1 degree Scorpio, a 'New Venus' and an impregnation of value into the human condition. Then Venus slips back into Libra as a retrograde morning star on 25th October. Venus sextiles Jupiter a 2nd time on Nov 4th and sextiles Mars on Nov 10th. Venus turns direct on Nov 14th at 23 degrees Libra. Venus sextiles Jupiter a 3rd and final time on Nov 28th. Venus leaves Libra for Scorpio on Dec 4th. Venus squares Pluto a third and final time on Dec 9th. Venus sextiles Mars on Dec 12th. Venus squares Jupiter on Jan 3rd. Venus finally leaves Scorpio and enters sagittarius on Jan 7th. Venus in Scorpio sets some real intense tests of love. Venus in Libra emphasizes harmony, partnership, charm, and elegance in relationships. There are some serious 'personal' decisions to be made over these next few months as Venus navigates in retrograde motion through Scorpio and Libra. MARS Mars enters Leo on Sept 28th joining Jupiter in this sign. Mars is retrograde from Jan 10th 2027 to April 1st 2027 and is at opposition to the Sun at 1 degree Virgo on Feb 19th 2027. All that follows is a consequence of this fact. Mars resides in Leo from Sept 28th 2026 to Nov 25th 2026, and again from Feb 21st 2027 to May 14th 2027. Mars in Leo forms a rare Fixed T-square with Mercury and Pluto, (Sept 30th to Oct 5th) the 'Jane Seymour T-square', read ahead. This peaks on Oct 3rd when Mars opposes Pluto. Also around this period (Oct 2nd to Oct 7th) Mars forms a basket pattern with Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. This first week in October is something else! Mars trines saturn on Oct 16th, gathering his strength. Mars squares a stationary Mercury (2nd hit) on Oct 30th. Mars sextiles Venus on Nov 10th, 'love in blue'. Mars is conjunct Jupiter, a one off event, on Nov 16th at 26 degrees Leo. A climatic eventful time. Mars squares the Sun on Nov 19th before entering Virgo on Nov 25th. The first phase of the Mars' dance is then complete. The most recent prolonged period of Mars in Leo stretched across late 2024 to mid-2025, where Mars spent roughly four months total in Leo split by a backwards slide into Cancer. Once again we are subject to a bold surge of fiery energy that amplifies leadership, theatrical expression, and global power dynamics on the world stage. Gird your loins. JUPITER Jupiter entered Leo on June 20th joining Venus in this sign. Jupiter in Leo brings a year of lavish outpourings, theatrical displays, flamboyant creativity, ego-entered motivation, powerful self projection and colourful fashion. This particular residence is characterised by Jupiter making 3 fire trines to Saturn and 1 fire trine to Neptune. Jupiter trines Saturn on Aug 31st, April 3rd 2027 and 11th July 2027. This one is all about inspired realism. Jupiter expands the vision, Saturn builds structure. Grand ideas find a realistic path to execution. This aspect evokes disciplined courage. Jupiter and Saturn form a trine aspect about every 6-7 years. However the trine aspect between these two planets in these signs has an odd calendar. It last happened on July 25th 1967. Before that it hit twice in April and May 1908. Before that it happened in Dec 1350! The current triple hit is particularly rare. The last triple was 1172-1173 and the next one is in 2820-2821. There was a quad hit in 1231-1233. These times need investigating. Suffice to say having lived through the summer of 1967 I am warm towards this aspect. Mars is conjunct Jupiter (and the south lunar node)on Nov 16th 2026 at 26 degrees Leo. Jupiter is retrograde from Dec 13th to April 13th. Jupiter leaves Leo for Virgo on July 26th 2027. SATURN Saturn finally settled in Aries on February 14, 2026. Saturn is retrograde from July 26 to December 10 2026 The astrology of Saturn in Aries has a focus on disciplined action, pioneering leadership, and structural changes. This transit brings karmic lessons regarding individual responsibility, courage, and self-assertion, often manifesting as intense global transformations and a need for new, bold leadership. Wars do manifest. During this residence Jupiter in Leo will 'fire trine' Saturn in Aries 3 times, 31/8/26, 3/4/27, and 11/7/27 (see Jupiter above). Saturn leaves Aries for Taurus on April 12th 2028. Saturn in Aries forces us to build personal authority and take responsibility. Aries fire forges steel. URANUS Uranus is now retrograde in Gemini and turns retrograde on Thursday. Uranus re-entered Gemini on April 25th 2026 for a 6.25 year stay, leaving for Cancer on August 3rd 2032. Major tech revolutions ahead. Uranus and Pluto will trine five times between 2026 and 2028, and there will be three more sextiles of Uranus and Neptune between 2026 and 2027. NEPTUNE Neptune re-entered Aries on January 26, 2026, where he will remain until March 23, 2039. On January 26 Neptune entered Aries for the first time since 1875-during which there was the American Civil War, the unification of Germany and Italy, and the rise of spiritualism and new religious movements. Essentially, this planetary transit is a time of great shifts in beliefs and opinions, in paradigms and world orders. Aries brings the pursuit of bravery, freedom, and fresh starts. However, Neptune can be tricky, illusionary and hard to pin down, so we may not see ourselves clearly, or we might struggle with clarifying what we're really trying to change, and why. Neptune is currently retrograde. PLUTO Pluto finally entered Aquarius on Nov 19th 2024 and will remain there till the year 2043. He is currently retrograde. Pluto was last in Aquarius from 1777 to 1798. Pluto in Aquarius will revolutionize society, technology, and collective power structures. This era marks a shift from Capricorn's top-down, traditional control toward Aquarian-driven horizontal power, emphasizing AI, digital rights, and, crucially, the 'power of the people'. UPCOMING ECLIPSES Feb 6th 2027 An annular Solar Eclipse at 17 Aquarius. Feb 21st 2027 A penumbral lunar eclipse at 3 Virgo. Aug 2nd 2027 TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE at 11 Leo. ECLIPSE OF THE CENTURY. ONE YOU MUST NOT MISS. Aug 17th 2027 A Penumbral Lunar Eclipse at 25 degrees Aquarius. Jan 12th 2028 A Partial Lunar Eclipse at 22 degrees Cancer. Jan 26th 2028 An Annular Solar Eclipse 6 degrees Aquarius. Jul 6th 2028 A Partial Lunar Eclipse at 15 degrees Capricorn. Jul 22nd 2028 A Total Solar Eclipse at 30 degrees Cancer.

The Moon, Venus and Mercury are in Scorpio.

A strong dose of scorpionic energy is on the astrological table for the next two days. Retrograde Venus, Mercury,12 days from his station, and a tender but slow infant Moon all in the sign of the scorpian. Two days of deep feelings, seeing 'beneath the surface' and getting to the bottom of the matter. 01.21 The slowly waxing young Moon decelerating at 5 Scorpio waxing quincunx Uranus at 5 Gemini 04.28 The Moon conjunction Venus at 7 Scorpio 06.43 The Moon at 8 Scorpio waxing square Mars at 8 Leo 11.35 The Moon at 11 Scorpio waning quincunx Saturn at 11 Aries 18.49 The Moon conjunction Mercury at 14 Scorpio STATE OF THE SKY.

Monday 19th October 2026

Venus retrograding in early scorpio is applying in her 2nd of 3 salacious squares to Pluto, exact early (GMT) tomorrow. This colours today and tomorrow. The word 'debauch' comes to mind. 01.42 The slow first quarter Moon enters Aquarius joining Pluto in this sign 06.27 The Moon accelerating at 2 Aquarius waning sextile Neptune at 2 Aries 07.50 The Moon conjunction Pluto at 3 Aquarius 08.53 The Moon at 4 Aquarius waxing square Venus at 4 Scorpio 11.52 The Moon at 5 Aquarius waning trine Uranus at 5 Gemini 21.52 The Moon at 10 Aquarius waning sextile Saturn at 10 Aries STATE OF THE SKY. (ALL TIMES ON THIS SITE ARE GMT.) The Sun today is at 27 degrees Libra. Mercury and retrograde Venus are both in Scorpio. Mars and Jupiter are in Leo. Saturn and Neptune are in Aries. The Moon and Pluto are both in Aquarius. The Sun enters Scorpio on Friday. There are 63 days to the Northern hemisphere Winter Solstice. Venus, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are retrograde. Mercury turns retrograde this Saturday, Oct 24th, the day that Venus is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun. Two days later on Oct 26th the next Full Moon in Taurus climaxes tightly square Pluto and is something of a 'monster mash'. MERCURY Mercury entered Scorpio on Sept 30th, joining Venus in this sign. (Both planets are in Scorpio till Oct 25th). Mercury has his retrograde phase in this sign and resides here with customary scorpionic intensity, for a lengthy 67 days. Mercury entered his shadow on Oct 4th. Mercury turns retrograde on 24th October at 21 degrees Scorpio. Mercury squares Mars on Oct 30th (2nd hit)- more head banging. Mercury is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun on Nov 4th at 12 Scorpio. Then as a morning star Mercury turns direct again on Nov 13th at 5 degrees Scorpio. (Venus turns direct the following day-a pretty special time). Mercury leaves his shadow on Nov 30th and enters Sagittarius on Dec 6th. Mercury squares Mars a final time from Sagittarius on Dec 9th. Well then this residence is noteworthy for whipping up a wilful determination all around. Nothing is easy about this period but it's a good time for getting to the bottom of the matter. Mercury retrograde periods ahead. Oct 24 to Nov 13 2026 Feb 9 to Mar 3, 2027 June 10 to July 4, 2027 Oct 7 to Oct 28, 2027 Jan 24 to Feb 14, 2028 May 21 to Jun 14, 2028 Sept 19 to Oct 11, 2028 Jan 7 to Jan 27, 2029 VENUS Venus entered Scorpio on Sept 10th as a bright evening star. Venus turned retrograde at 8 degrees Scorpio on Oct 3rd. Venus squares Pluto a second time, tomorrow, Oct 20th. Venus is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun on October 24th at 1 degree Scorpio, a 'New Venus' and an impregnation of value into the human condition. Then Venus slips back into Libra as a retrograde morning star on 25th October. Venus sextiles Jupiter a 2nd time on Nov 4th and sextiles Mars on Nov 10th. Venus turns direct on Nov 14th at 23 degrees Libra. Venus sextiles Jupiter a 3rd and final time on Nov 28th. Venus leaves Libra for Scorpio on Dec 4th. Venus squares Pluto a third and final time on Dec 9th. Venus sextiles Mars on Dec 12th. Venus squares Jupiter on Jan 3rd. Venus finally leaves Scorpio and enters Sagittarius on Jan 7th. Venus in Scorpio sets some real intense tests of love. Venus in Libra emphasizes harmony, partnership, charm, and elegance in relationships. There are some serious 'personal' decisions to be made over these next few months as Venus navigates in retrograde motion through Scorpio and Libra. MARS Mars enters Leo on Sept 28th joining Jupiter in this sign. Mars is retrograde from Jan 10th 2027 to April 1st 2027 and is at opposition to the Sun at 1 degree Virgo on Feb 19th 2027. All that follows is a consequence of this fact. Mars resides in Leo from Sept 28th 2026 to Nov 25th 2026, and again from Feb 21st 2027 to May 14th 2027. Mars trines saturn on Oct 16th, gathering his strength. Mars squares a stationary Mercury (2nd hit) on Oct 30th. Mars sextiles Venus on Nov 10th, 'love in blue'. Mars is conjunct Jupiter, a one off event, on Nov 16th at 26 degrees Leo. A climatic eventful time. Mars squares the Sun on Nov 19th before entering Virgo on Nov 25th. The first phase of the Mars' dance is then complete. The most recent prolonged period of Mars in Leo stretched across late 2024 to mid-2025, where Mars spent roughly four months total in Leo split by a backwards slide into Cancer. Once again we are subject to a bold surge of fiery energy that amplifies leadership, theatrical expression, and global power dynamics on the world stage. Gird your loins. JUPITER Jupiter entered Leo on June 20th joining Venus in this sign. Jupiter in Leo brings a year of lavish outpourings, theatrical displays, flamboyant creativity, ego-entered motivation, powerful self projection and colourful fashion. This particular residence is characterised by Jupiter making 3 fire trines to Saturn and 1 fire trine to Neptune. Jupiter trines Saturn on Aug 31st, April 3rd 2027 and 11th July 2027. This one is all about inspired realism. Jupiter expands the vision, Saturn builds structure. Grand ideas find a realistic path to execution. This aspect evokes disciplined courage. Jupiter and Saturn form a trine aspect about every 6-7 years. However the trine aspect between these two planets in these signs has an odd calendar. It last happened on July 25th 1967. Before that it hit twice in April and May 1908. Before that it happened in Dec 1350! The current triple hit is particularly rare. The last triple was 1172-1173 and the next one is in 2820-2821. There was a quad hit in 1231-1233. These times need investigating. Suffice to say having lived through the summer of 1967 I am warm towards this aspect. Mars is conjunct Jupiter (and the south lunar node)on Nov 16th 2026 at 26 degrees Leo. Jupiter is retrograde from Dec 13th to April 13th. Jupiter leaves Leo for Virgo on July 26th 2027. SATURN Saturn finally settled in Aries on February 14, 2026. Saturn is retrograde from July 26 to December 10 2026 The astrology of Saturn in Aries has a focus on disciplined action, pioneering leadership, and structural changes. This transit brings karmic lessons regarding individual responsibility, courage, and self-assertion, often manifesting as intense global transformations and a need for new, bold leadership. Wars do manifest. During this residence Jupiter in Leo will 'fire trine' Saturn in Aries 3 times, 31/8/26, 3/4/27, and 11/7/27 (see Jupiter above). Saturn leaves Aries for Taurus on April 12th 2028. Saturn in Aries forces us to build personal authority and take responsibility. Aries fire forges steel. URANUS Uranus is now retrograde in Gemini. Uranus re-entered Gemini on April 25th 2026 for a 6.25 year stay, leaving for Cancer on August 3rd 2032. Major tech revolutions ahead. Uranus and Pluto will trine five times between 2026 and 2028, and there will be three more sextiles of Uranus and Neptune between 2026 and 2027. NEPTUNE Neptune re-entered Aries on January 26, 2026, where he will remain until March 23, 2039. On January 26 Neptune entered Aries for the first time since 1875-during which there was the American Civil War, the unification of Germany and Italy, and the rise of spiritualism and new religious movements. Essentially, this planetary transit is a time of great shifts in beliefs and opinions, in paradigms and world orders. Aries brings the pursuit of bravery, freedom, and fresh starts. However, Neptune can be tricky, illusionary and hard to pin down, so we may not see ourselves clearly, or we might struggle with clarifying what we're really trying to change, and why. Neptune is currently retrograde. PLUTO Pluto finally entered Aquarius on Nov 19th 2024 and will remain there till the year 2043. He is currently direct in motion till May 7th 2027 when he turns retrograde at 7 degrees Aquarius. Pluto was last in Aquarius from 1777 to 1798. Pluto in Aquarius will revolutionize society, technology, and collective power structures. This era marks a shift from Capricorn's top-down, traditional control toward Aquarian-driven horizontal power, emphasizing AI, digital rights, and, crucially, the 'power of the people'.

Today is the last full day of the astrological month of Libra. 09.35 The Sun at 29 Libra waxing biquintile Uranus at 5 Gemini 13.38 Jupiter at 23 Leo waning quad-novile Pluto at 3 Aquarius. The current 13 year synodic cycle of Jupiter and Pluto, symbolising 'power plays', started on Nov 12th 2020 in Capricorn. At that time we witnessed a worldwide rampant and escalating covid-19 virus, the appearance of vaccines and the US president refusing to concede electoral defeat. The cycle reached it first quarter square phase in May 2023, Russia and Belarus signed an agreement to station Russian tactical nuclear weapons on Belarusian territory. The cycle climaxed with the opposition across Leo/Aquarius in July 2026. Andy Burnham was appointed by King Charles III as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, succeeding Keir Starmer on this day. The cycle ends in Feb 2033 in Aquarius. We are now in the waning gibbous phase of this power play cycle. Today's waning quad novile aspect is the first of three hits, dates Oct 22nd 2026, Jan 18th 2027 and July 8th 2027. The waning quadnovile aspect invokes an open and unconditioned response to the possibility of relationship, inclusiveness, and togetherness. We can take hold and guide the course to the future. 14.27 The Moon at 14 Pisces waning quincunx Mars at 14 Leo 15.21 The Moon reaches her waxing gibbous phase. The procession to the 'Monster Mash' Full Moon in Taurus (square Pluto), peaking next Monday at 04.13 GMT, now begins in earnest.

Friday 23rd October 2026

Look out tomorrow! Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio and Venus is at Inferior Conjunction with the Scorpio Sun. We are dealing here with rebirth of relationships and re-evaluation of communications. Both planets are then retrograde for 20 days. This is a deep dive review of words and feelings. When Mercury and Venus are retrograde at the same time, it creates an infrequent 'double retrograde' effect. Because Mercury goes retrograde 3 to 4 times a year while Venus only does so once every 18 months, their paths overlap infrequently. When they do, the overlapping window typically lasts between a few days to 3 weeks. Since 1950 this 'dual retrograde' of both Venus and Mercury has happened 16 times. 9 of these occasions has been since the year 2000. Scorpio was involved in 1974, 1982, 2010 and 2018. 03.32 The waxing gibbous Moon accelerating at 21 Pisces waxing trine an almost stationary Mercury at 21 Scorpio.

Full Moon in Taurus

Sun square Pluto

04.12 Moment of FULL MOON Today's Full Moon is the second following the 'deep partial' Lunar eclipse in Pisces on August 28th 2026, and the 4th before a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse at 3 Virgo on Feb 21st 2027. The Full Moon is square Pluto and opposite Venus. Mercury and Venus are both retrograde. Fixity prevails. Fire and Air predominate. I call this event the 'Monster Mash' Full Moon. It has a formidable quality. Power struggles and domination are drawn out by the Full Moon square to Pluto and the opposition to retro-Venus invokes sensuality, material abundance and temptation. There is an underhand blatancy at work. This Moon leads us into dark territory. At the exact moment of Full Moon today it is Sunrise at Ankara. Sunset is over The Far North Pacific, Moonrise over The Lena delta and Moonset at The Great Pyramid. High Noon is at Hong Kong and True midnight is at Cape Horn. Mars rises at Rio, Mercury at Dhahran, Pluto over Japan and the Philippines, Neptune over New Zealand, Mars culminates at Mecca, Neptune at kansas City, Saturn at Milwaukee, the Moon at La Paz, Saturn sets at Paris and at Algiers, Neptune sets over Ireland, Pluto sets at Caracas. The Full Moon directly hits the Saturn of France's First Republic chart, Google, Andy Burnham, Jacob rees Mogg, Ed Milliband and Cate Blanchett. It hits the Moon of Yemen, Facebook IPO, King Charles and Joe Biden, the Mercury of Nigel Farage and Pete Townshend, the Venus of the Vatican and Eric Clapton, the Mars of the Bank of Russia, the Jupiter of Apple, the MC of Syria and Johnny Depp, the Uranus of Brexit, the Chiron of Zelensky, and the Nodes of Microsoft and of King Charles. 04.46 The Moon at 3 Taurus waxing square Pluto at 3 Aquarius 12.12 The Sun at 3 Scorpio waning square Pluto at 3 Aquarius STATE OF THE SKY. (ALL TIMES ON THIS SITE ARE GMT.) The Sun today is at 3 degrees Scorpio. Evening Star Mercury is also in Scorpio and is retrograding. Morning Star Venus is in Libra and is also retrograding. Mars and Jupiter are in Leo. Saturn and Neptune are in Aries. There are 56 days to the Northern hemisphere Winter Solstice. Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are retrograde. MERCURY Mercury entered Scorpio on Sept 30th. Mercury has his retrograde phase in this sign and resides here with customary scorpionic intensity, for a lengthy 67 days. Mercury entered his shadow on Oct 4th and turned turned retrograde on 24th October at 21 degrees Scorpio. Mercury squares Mars on Oct 30th (2nd hit)- more head banging.

(Venus turns direct the following day-a pretty special time). Mercury leaves his shadow on Nov 30th and enters Sagittarius on Dec 6th. Mercury squares Mars a final time from Sagittarius on Dec 9th. Well then this residence is noteworthy for whipping up a wilful determination all around. Nothing is easy about this period but it's a good time for getting to the bottom of the matter. Mercury retrograde periods ahead.

All that follows is a consequence of this fact. Mars resides in Leo from Sept 28th 2026 to Nov 25th 2026, and again from Feb 21st 2027 to May 14th 2027. Mars squares a stationary Mercury (2nd hit) on Oct 30th. Mars sextiles Venus on Nov 10th, 'love in blue'. Mars is conjunct Jupiter, a one off event, on Nov 16th at 26 degrees Leo. A climatic eventful time. Mars squares the Sun on Nov 19th before entering Virgo on Nov 25th. The first phase of the Mars' dance is then complete. The most recent prolonged period of Mars in Leo stretched across late 2024 to mid-2025, where Mars spent roughly four months total in Leo split by a backwards slide into Cancer. Once again we are subject to a bold surge of fiery energy that amplifies leadership, theatrical expression, and global power dynamics on the world stage. Gird your loins.

There was a quad hit in 1231-1233. These times need investigating. Suffice to say having lived through the summer of 1967 I am warm towards this aspect. Mars is conjunct Jupiter (and the south lunar node)on Nov 16th 2026 at 26 degrees Leo and is posibly a major highlight of the residence. SATURN Saturn finally settled in Aries on February 14, 2026. Saturn is retrograde from July 26 to December 10 2026 The astrology of Saturn in Aries has a focus on disciplined action, pioneering leadership, and structural changes.
