5th July 2025 Saturday vibes: Don't be afraid to flow today..to let yourself be.
Be a bystander for a bit of that feels right.
Big cosmic shifts afoot just now need a bit of time to work out.
It's been something of a battery draining kinda week, and up there in the heavens, the times they are a changing, taking us along new roads so it'll be good for some of us to recharge, to quietly reconnect with our core selves right now..under the deep, resourceful, reflective, rebirthing Scorpio Moon.
Some will be feeling much more deeply than usual about matters altering their personal landscapes.
Venus is supporting what nourishes the self, encouraging new routes around old dilemmas.
Uranus is on the brink of a new era, about to enter Gemini on Monday 7th July. Right when the Moon slides into "pack your case and have an adventure" Sagittarius..Many an impulsive trip could be about to be booked!
This unpredictable , electrifying, crazy, planet that even orbits on his side, all the while glowing with turquoise fabulousness, can throw curved balls, no matter how many careful plans we make.
Uranus is a rebel for sure and he also stirs us to speak up as he comes to Gemini.
It's an idea to try to get the measure of his new message for us, to see where in life we're being told "wake up!"..move a little with the times, maybe to say what's been on our minds.
Once he's transiting those personal points of our birth charts, Uranus can jolt us out of old ruts.
But generally it's a time to think about patterns that don't serve us, about breaking free of caterpillar cocoons and surprising ourselves.. discovering we can fly.
Sometimes we stay put even in an uncomfortable situation, in an effort to stay "safe", but that's often an illusion.
Don't be afraid to live your truth, your way.. but also be at peace with all that is good and right.
Change for change's sake often fosters discontent.
But if you've been in some way contemplating a new version of you, of your routines..get ready to feel that fresh breeze coming beneath your sparkly wings.
And make time over this weekend for what you need to do for you.. lotsalove 💖
Thursday 3rd July 2025 There are some cranky, jarring Mars aspects about today. Cars, anything to do with engines and "linkages" may be tricky. And moods may be a bit up and down, given that Moon is in the "fiery road" which is a monthly occurrence, but it's jarring today. So if you're having a day of it, chances are your chart's been triggered. But it's also a sensitive time with the bringer of lightning fast changes, planet Uranus about to leave Taurus, in the final degree now.
Come Monday, it's a new era, as Uranus enters Gemini, last there over 1941-1949, adding a new dimension to the other planetary shifts this year. More about that next time.
Watch for some significant news around prominent women over the coming few days as Venus moves sign tomorrow ( Friday 4th) and she then
connects with four outer planets in three days.
It's also a good time to get the message out there with literature and the arts. Venus rules resources too, so this may be a time for getting serious about new sources of income, or for rekindling something that worked well in the past.. Worth a thought..
lotsalove 💗
Sunday 29th June 2025 The cosmos is kinda unsettled just now, with Mercury on alert and about to go into shadow in regal, creative, vibrant Leo, where he'll be till for a bit longer than usual, thanks to an upcoming retrograde. Yesterday Mercury made aspects with serious, get real Saturn and unreal, illusive, foggy Neptune both in Aries. That can help us to shape a creative plan, but can also bring a flat, weary feeling. Kids can be on our minds. Lovers, friends, and reconnection with times gone by. We may be feeling like we are islands, maybe needing the space of being an island. Today Mercury completes an opposition with Pluto. Marvelous for something requiring concentration. Intense mental focus. Paperwork or forward planning may keep you on your toes. It's possible that between now But... also, overthinking, catastrophising..going deep and finding it hard to find the light switch can also make the mind a harder place to be in. Try to get out into fresh air and moving, if you can. Get some sunshine if you can and maybe take time to organise one wee corner of your life, to feel more settled. Tackle a bit of the garden if you have one, or maybe tidy a pot plant or two to earth yourself. Seriously, Mercury, messenger and mind planet is making deeper aspects than usual, connecting to three outer planets at once. This suggests your mind will be busy. You might come up with a perfect master plan. There could be a moment of truth arriving from which you don't look back. But if you are unsettled, over thinking, know it will pass, and that Mercury aspects often work better when we'r
Tuesday 24th June 2025 Ooft.. what a day in the cosmos. It's vulnerable Moondark, and with Sun aligning with Jupiter, in jarring aspect with Saturn and Neptune, nodal axis triggered, Mars and Pluto involved .... emotional intensity is pumped up, feelings are strong. Fated actions are in the ether..as is shown by the news. The astrology is reflective, synchronous , not causative. Go easy folks. You may be realising a dream, overcoming barriers or facing fears . Might be both. Everything feels larger than life when Jupiter is in the mix. Is your current situation tugging you in clashing directions? Or stirring rather strange mixed emotions? Jupiter is classed as the greater beneficial in astrology and he can certainly reflect fortunate times, but he's also the gung ho chancer. The gambler. Sometimes we need to take a chance in life, but just now.. consideration of consequences is underlined by Saturn, lord of Time and of limits, which can be a reassurance. Tis Moondark today.. for quiet preparation. Much is going on behind the scenes. There's a push forward, hold back vibe..can you feel that? Tomorrow brings the new Cancer Moon, and it's laced with hope, with an air of opportunity yet also carries themes of sacrifice, and maybe an air of sadness over what's gone. New initiatives tend to be better placed to succeed after a new Moon forms. The astro-combo of this new Moon mix suggests potential for "favourable progress under a watchful eye.." With love, 💗 Saturday June 21st 2025 Tis Solstice, so the Sun is now in Cancer, sign of family, nurturing , home, stirring our sense of belonging. Shining a light on our roots. On what's going on there, on beginnings. Jupiter is close by, in alignment, making those feelings bigger, stronger. So whatever you're experiencing it's maybe got a larger than life quality. Might be absolutely great times, might be a light shining over troubled times. Jupiter also brings benefits .. sometimes through what he untangles us from. Sometimes, we are released thanks to the truth of feelings coming to the surface, sorting out how we feel, where we need to be. Here's the thing about summer solstice..it's where the light shines longest. Not much gets to hide in the shadows. Be who you are..if they don't appreciate you .. bless, release, move on. If they do, celebrate the goodness. Moon is in Taurus, now favouring your go to comforts, peaceful places, reliable kinfolk and friends , those who are always there for you. It's also square Pluto, so try not to beat yourself up over what isn't easy. One step at a time, says supportive Mars in Virgo. Small achievements and little gestures today could delight. Have a good weekend all. Lotsalove 💖
June 17th 2025���Mars arrived in Virgo this morning (09:35am) .
Hey Virgoans, here's a challenge, here's an energising chapter, here's more work, here's a time to be heard.
We are all under this new Virgoan Mars phase, and you may well be feeling a sense of "at last", as Mars just spent most of the last 7 months kinda delayed from his entry to Virgo as he retrograded, so there's a new vibe here. Have you found yourself immersed in details, tending the little tasks that leave you with a quiet sense of order? It's ongoing till August 6th, this demon in the detail phase.
Easy to lose track of time if you find yourself delving deeper and deeper into the layers... .whatever they are.
Might be you look for something in a drawer and end up gutting a room.
Have you been busy in a different direction to the one you started out facing or intending to tackle this morning? Watch for these times over the coming weeks!
Whatever, it's action planet Mars that wants you to get things just so..as he travels across analytical Virgo.
He might bring out sarcasm, nitpicking, whip-cracking, stirring urges for perfectionism.
Mercury rules Virgo and the mind and body link, while Mars is assertive, sharp, direct. He might bring sharp reminders of anything that's been overlooked but needs action.
There's so much more going on in the world, reflected in the cosmos just now that is intense, and there's also a huge poignancy in the air, and many who are stirred by Mars in Virgo will point their efforts in selfless directions, too.
Times are sharp, but there is a lot of good out there, way more than we get to hear of.
Keep shining.. 
Hey all, how are you doing this weekend? (14/15 June 2025) Tis a crazy time with impulsive, make it happen action and aggro, warrior planet Mars jarring with revolutionary , lightning charger, flip a switch and it all looks different planet Uranus just now.. there's a charge in the air..go easy. Drivers can be crazy..plans can switch around, people are more ego charged..but can also be heroic. At the same time, most unusually, Jupiter is aligned in friction aspect with Saturn. Jupiter is about expansion ,freedom, making the most of life's opportunities, while Saturn is about contraction, security, restriction, control, building steadily, calculated plans. The generational tug to evolve, to move out of the shell and flex wings can be a theme, too, as is the need to make the evolutionary process work for us, to move with grace into the next phase, whatever that is. Neptune is in this picture too, which is tugging at the imagination, at the collective unconscious. We may feel a sense of fatigue or uncertainty tweaking at our confidence just now, maybe unsettling us. A mix of jangly stress interspersed with weariness and waves of idealism too can feel strange to process. Being dreamy and maybe taking time to allow a creative idea to take shape, having a wee escape from it all might be good. Even a quiet walk ..could be therapeutic. Be kind to your mind, friends Lotsalove x .
Happy Sunday all! (8th June 2025) There's such a shifting of the tides afoot in the cosmos just now. Arrivals are highlighted, awaited news feels imminent, emotions are being stirred, nostalgia, yearnings for the way it was, as Mercury moves with Jupiter, aligning , both into Cancer over the next 24hrs. As Jupiter begins his once every twelve years, year long transit across Cancer from tomorrow evening, we enter a phase where family ties assume greater importance. Travel to or with kith and kin could be discussed. Assessments and appraisals might feature. Home improvement or moves to bigger or better accommodation could be on the cards. Jupiter rules Pisces and Sagittarius, stirring urges to explore for Pisces, and to free up finances for Sagittarius, often with a view to adventures, Jupiter the liberator and bringer of open doors, opportunity and confidence boosts is also key to partner plans for Gemini and Virgo. I talk in depth about this, and more, on my weekly horoscope recordings,on the horoscopes page here. Lotsalove and hope your day is kind 💗
Happy Sunday! Today June 1st 2025, the Moon is close to Mars in Leo, an "igniting spark" aspect.. Jupiter is aligned with Uranus, making for some larger than life moments of "the unexpected". The combination could stir some of us to press a "to heck with it" commit button.. Or it might incline us to let rip to liberate old stuck feelings.. which could be lovely, passionate and decisive.. No aspect is all good or bad..be aware of the impulsive qualities of the moment and we give ourselves a chance to measure what's best..though sometimes an impulse is in fact an intuition or longing held in reserve that's ignored, propelled into action. This is an eventful time for many people..a sense of something new tingling..coming up on the horizon. Changeovers..events that illustrate the march of time. Wishing you the best of times, awareness of the blessings, smiles, love. 💖
Hey Monday.. tis Moondark today, as we head for tomorrow morning's new Moon in Gemini ( Tuesday 27th May 2025 04:02am BST)
Moondark, currently in Taurus, favours steady pace and focusing on your immediate situation, making that work, doing what you need to..it is not for big razzle dazzle efforts, but it's marvelous for effectively tidying things up. Best not to overthink what's not known. Moondark is where we can feel we are kept in the dark, or where we aren't yet ready to bring information to the light ourselves.
{N.B: Timings on some Astrology pages you might follow may be for other countries than UK where most of the readers on this page are from, so bear that in mind. }
Tuesday's new Gemini Moon is all about fresh starts, and with Mercury already in Gemini, aspecting Saturn newly in Aries, this is probably a good day for those who want to get quietly organised in some sense.
Once the Moon is new tomorrow, much starts to feel clearer, lighter, and overdue conversations have a beneficial feel to them. Deep chat could be helpful, and awaited results could feature. Lost items could reappear, and explanations might arrive. It's an intriguing new Moon.
How are you feeling? 
Sunday 25th May 2025 Early this morning, Saturn entered Aries, transiting this fiery, pioneering, very direct and self focused sign until 2028. Look back at 1996-1999 for some clues as to the echoes you'll be hearing..not repeat events but similar messages and themes. Saturn is the planet of discipline, boundaries, duties, shape and form. He's the cosmic Timelord. Reminding us " it's time to get a move on here, stop procrastinating..Time waits for no man/woman ( person).. and as Neptune is newly in Aries too, this is a time to get proactive about your dreams, to give them shape. Believe and achieve. Stop putting off taking steps to be all you can be physically, too. Look out for yourself..make those check up appointments. There is literally no better time than over the next year for seriously getting yourself in shape, in every sense. For tackling addictions.. honestly..this is the start of a (take and channel your own)power loaded chapter ..The last time Saturn came this close in the zodiac to Neptune in June 1989 was incredible for addiction release. I monitored the aspect back then. It works. The only advice I could give to those who are caught up in a habit that isn't healthy for you, whatever it is, is to make no plans or announcements..just step by step, hour by hour make a repeating choice .."for the next hour I choose not to......." Your results might well be life changing.. Lotsalove 💖 Sunday 18th May 2025 Happy Sunday all...what glorious weather! Hope you're getting to enjoy some of it, your way. The cosmos is a bit shoogly with the Sun close to Uranus in alignment ( exact yesterday but lingering vibes)..so there's often a feeling of being a bit off key, off centre or maybe hyped, restless. That wherever you are you ought to be someplace else. Uranus is associated with those crazy moments when the driver to your right suddenly cuts in on you, when something entirely random turns up. It can feel like making a certain decision is tricky like we're on a freeze frame..but that often turns out to be because something else is still to show up in the mix, because the current scenario is due to shift, like a kaleidescope. The cosmos certainly will reshape..within days, with the Gemini Sun on the way, Saturn preparing to move sign to join Neptune in Aries..So tread softly, wisely for now. ..try not to rush to change lane 💕 Sunday 11th May 2025. Tomorrow teatime..the Full Scorpio ( blossoms burgeoning time) Flower Moon is with us, but she's been very much alight and in evidence already. Mars is a bit edgy today too, so we might feel more aware of what's a challenge just now, whatever that might be. Perhaps tugged between what we ought to do and what we feel inclined to do. Scorpio is associated with superhuman effort, resilience, starting over when the occasion demands. It's a sign of extremes. Scorpios don't half do or half mean things. If you're in need of help, your Scorpio friend will pull all of the stops out for you. If you betray a Scorpio, they will literally switch right off. Scorpio can be obsessive..about understanding what caused a problem, about fixing things. They make fine surgeons and psychoanalysts. They're not afraid to go deep, to listen to the deeper darker stuff we all struggle with. They're intuitive healers, and often just by them being present, others feel eased. During this full Moon phase we tend to be more aware of these Scorpio traits in ourselves and others. So as the full Scorpio Moon approaches, we see contrasts, we can more clearly see the best and worst of humans and we're so sharply aware of the need for turnarounds in turbulent situations. The peaking of this Moon phase can bring the crescendo, a completion, first signs of that turnaround beyond turmoil. Where in your life are you aware of this intensity, where something significant has to "give"..? As Scorpio reflects the whole circle of life through the seasons, and this blossoming Moon tugs us into nature, it's a good time to be outside, to clear and tidy, to refresh and renew, especially outdoors. 💖 Thursday 8th May 2025. 80 years since VE day, and the local council where we live commissioned a Field of Heroes, sponsored one dimensional metalwork silhouettes of the fallen, with QR codes to access actors' voices giving a brief account of each person's story. So many really moving moments� in afternoon Ayrshire sunshine, many a tear shed, thinking about the awful sadness of the losses those people's families must have felt, on top of the horrors those serving to their deaths had to endure, and so often so young, too.
My parents worked on the war effort , Dad in RAF, signed up to be a pilot, just before the war ended, so never saw action, and I'm glad of that, mum in an auxiliary civilian role for RAF. My grandfathers both served in the first world war as young men, one seriously gassed in the trenches, never to fully recover, the other a foreign correspondent, on work we never quite knew of.
My father in law was a signalman, served in the army in Africa and in Italy at the battle of Monte Cassino, where 55,000 allied soldiers perished. He was deeply affected yet never spoke of it. I often think of him, a sensitive man, very creative, protective of his family, and wish he'd had more support, but human life seems expendable in war, undervalued. There are so many stories of special humans, lost forever, forgotten never, I pray.
Reminds us surely of the importance of communication, of reasonable, just, peace seeking communication. War begins with words, and ends with words.. wouldn't it be wonderful if we could cut out the middle bit where pointless devastation occurs.. Love and peace wishes to all, on this poignant VE day.

Thursday 1st May 2025� Happy May Day!.. Although the aspect mentioned below is still very much being triggered, especially over this coming weekend, so watch out for power issues of all sorts and for intensity around crowds. This can be the amaze yourself time.. or a crazy time.. but the cosmos is intense with Pluto stationing in Aquarius on Sunday under a Moon Mars opposition to Pluto.
It'll be easy to be triggered.. to go tackle mammoth tasks, or yes, to be more explosive and eruptive.. which links also to volcanoes and situations where things are suppressed, contained.�Revolutionary vibes are around, but that can also bring moments of truth where we are stopped in our tracks by a realisation of what can't continue as it is, and we do something about it.�Some fixing and mending and personal resetting may be afoot.
It's not a promise of good or bad, but so often the brilliant manifestations of heroics and brave efforts are overlooked because we pay more heed to the darker stuff.� It's all there, but there is so much to also use that energy for, to do our best to be our best.
Take care���Lotsalove💖
Friday 25th April 2025� There's an aspect being much discussed online by astrologers just now, and it's the third and final opposition of action/warrior/initiating/masculine planet Mars to subtle power planet Pluto.�
This opposition happened once across Cancer/Capricorn back on November 3rd and the last one on 3rd January was the first of two across Leo/Aquarius.
Mars rules Aries, the beginner, the pioneer, the brave adventurer, and also Scorpio, who has another ruler, Pluto.� Pluto is in Aquarius now, sign of space age inventions, of space itself, airwaves, of communes and groups
Pluto is associated with quietly powerful energy sources and with situations that can rumble away for decades before erupting like a volcano, and Mars is known as a trigger planet, the spark.
Sunday's opposition happens in the dark of the Moon, and in bold, brave, fiery Aries, the sign ruled by Mars. It's exact at 02:05am BST.The Moon slips into slower moving, peace loving, lover of a fixed plan, Taurus at 08:17.
There are so many likely manifestations of this planetary picture.�
Brave acts in extreme conditions, explosive, eruptive events. Mars is in dynamic, creative, passionate Leo, which is a bold, fiery, "don't mess with me" energy. Mars in this sign brings to our notice men especially who are� flamboyant, regal like rulers, brave couragous heroes... factor in an opposition from Pluto in Aquarius, sign of humanity and of the power of unity, and amazing achievements are possible, as are� triggered situations which are very much in the ether already and probably have been for weeks, months, years even.� �
Creative or athletic endeavours that require superhuman efforts can come to a crescendo.�
On a more personal level, some of you will really resonate, others may be bystanders, to scenarios where you have gone for years of not rising to a certain bait, or of hiding parts of yourself for fear of consequences, for example. suddenly feeling a bit triggered.� Where in your life do you let others lead, where you feel daunted about doing so yourself? Have you in the past risen, shone and been shot down?��
Maybe you are looking into the mouth of the Lion in some shape or form just now, wondering if you can� tame the beast. Maybe the beast is your own self sabotaging,� linked to ancient traumas, past turmoil, or even something you regret and punish yourself daily for?��
Oh Pluto is a deep, dark one, so this aspect is very likely going to bring moments of feeling triggered, which if you step away from the person or situation and truly look deep into yourself, you might realise that person, situation is not the dreaded, all powerful threat to your success, happiness, wellbeing at all. Maybe you are, for believing someone else has the power that's actually yours.� What do you do repeatedly that leaves you feeling disempowered?��
Where does it feel like there is a "threat to surival"?� �There may indeed be situations in your world that are indeed literally challenging survival in some shape, in which case what this aspect is doing for you is reminding you that you have great inner resources, that you could be on the brink of a time of rebirth and renewal.
Maybe what's rearing up, given the dark of the Moon, is the classic "chance to glimpse beneath the veil", a time of deeper insights .�
Sometimes Mars opposite Pluto can bring ferocious rows and explosive arguments about injustices, imbalances, feeling daunted, overpowered or overwhelmed, stunned into inactivity, then triggered into rising , rediscovering inner strength.� It can have themes of feeling the urge to vengeance, but it has reminders that we should have pride in ourselves, that two wrongs never make a right or make us feel good about ourselves, especially in the long term.
�It can also can bring sizzling passionate connections, good and bad.� � Mars is about action and Pluto is about consequences.� It's wise to bear in mind that one leads to the other.
One of the things that might happen is a cathartic exchange, an outpouring that seems to release old toxins, leaving things clearer, more honest, maybe showing us strength we'd forgotten we had. Coming back like Superman, from adversity to rise and shine, to reinvent and rebirth is very Mars/Pluto.
On a mundane level, Mars is associated with the engines that power both machines and man.� Pluto's opposition could see some renewals and repairs.��
Mars in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius also reflects the element of chest beating that is stirring up the masses.��
That controversial Blue Origin space flight seems very much associated with that "display of power" and of "doing the impossible in style" aspect, too.
My favourite Mars Pluto vibe of all, though� is the one that sees us pulling out the stops to be our best, especially when it's for others.�
Later on into Sunday evening, a New Moon in Taurus� will happen at� 20:31.� �The image this brings to mind for me is akin to a forest fire that is followed by the incredible, magical bursting through those ashes, of new buds, new life.
Wishing you a happy, successful, peaceful, joyful weekend all, and
Good luck our brave (possibly mad) Aries son with Sunday's�Glasgow Kiltwalk!�
Sunday 13th April 2025 Sending some Sunday love your way as the lunar light has peaked and shifts her mood, jars sensitivity, both physical and emotional with Mars, forming a Yod aspect with Saturn and Uranus bringing to some, strange mixed feelings about what is currently, inevitably changing, with some relationships shifting, emphasised by that Libra full Moon, which asks for diplomacy and acceptance as we move from an old order to a new "norm". Changes could be much needed, or maybe bringing apprehension, but a lot of folk will find a better balanced perspective, silver linings appearing in the coming weeks. There's been a swelling Moonphase, Mercury has gone forwards, slowly picking up speed, or rather we are, so there may be lots of things suddenly starting to hurtle forwards, or appear to need us to, yet� there's a lot to be said for pressing on quietly with what obviously is ready to be tended, and if there are doubts, questions yet to be answered, details to be inked in before a plan can be moved forwards, then heed the instinct that tells you to allow some matters to unfold as they still need to, still will.�
�
Saturday 12th is a flowing lunar date, good for appreciating all that's special, good and for listening to your intuition about wedening horizons for the future. Sunday 01:22 hrs is when that Libra full Moon appears, and there could be some mixed feelings around what's peaking, completing, closing, ending.
Midweek, 16th and Friday 18th are key dates for positive signs of progress where it's been awaited.�
Thursday may be one of those tricky days of going around in circles, maybe some complications around plans�or documentation to sort out�for a wee while, but that looks likely to be resolved come Friday, when Mars arrives back in Leo ( he began that journey on 3rd November then switched to retrograde in early December and since 24th February has been gradually picking up speed to arrive back in the fiery, make it happen sign of Leo.
This ends a lengthy phase of trickiness in some relationships incidentally, and of not being able to plan ahead, with too many mixed up pieces of jigsaws to try to make a clear picture.� �
Right now planet Neptune is newly in Aries, faviouring the artistic, creative sorts who dare to believe in themselves and have a go.
It's also a time when there may be pioneers in masks, when leaders and subterfuge are mixed.
Pluto in Aquarius is there to stir the individual to take collective responsibility to ensure power is used for the good of all. Revolutionary?� Historically yes.
Also�Neptune in Aries adds to this the sense that the world is currently a stage, where what you see isn't always what you are getting. last time Neptune made this journey was from 1861.. America was in the throes of significant changes then. We all were. And the one thing for sure is that everything changes eventually. This too shall pass, and there will be tough times and there will be great times.��

Thursday 27th March 2025� �This is a weary kinda phase as the lunar tide shrinks to make Moondark and a powerful, significant, all change solar eclipse beckons on Saturday morning here in UK , new Moon is in Aries of course, and is�at 10:58hrs GMT.�
Venus has just headed back the way into Pisces as if to remind us of special people and moments, aligning for the last time in our lifetimes with Neptune in Pisces. There's a poignancy in the air, and also a sense of once in a lifetime connections for some.
Special people who tune in to us are rare and there may be sliding doors moments around this time, where paths cross.�
There's a lot of sensitivity in the air with the Moon in Pisces until Friday night, emotions being easily stirred, and also a feeling of exhaustion, too, funder the upcoming�solar eclipse on Saturday and on Sunday, planet��Neptune arriving in Aries ( last Neptune�arrival there was 1861�)� stirring��resolutions about loosening old chains, opening stuck doors, for some,� setting off on bucket list adventures, perhaps, although with connector and messenger planet�Mercury�retrograde until 7th, it's a good idea to make lots of notes, do the research, chew the fat,�have a think, look at options, and be ready to ink in what's pencilled with a firmer, clearer plan in the not too distant future.
The solar eclipse added to Neptune's sign shift� highlights all of the unsettled uncertain stuff around leaderships� ( Saturn comes to Aries 25th May, further underlining�global shifts around leadership) Uranus the lightning change, awakener,�revolutionary planet arrives in (US current President's sign) Gemini in June, then liberator Jupiter enters Cancer in July, bringing� the USA presidency and government even more into sharp focus. Last time the cosmos was similarly aligned,�from 1861, there was much upheaval across the Atlantic. Astrologers are observing the patterns just now, with interest, along with natural wariness.
Around 2009 I was looking at upcoming planetary patterns and said to a fellow astrologer.. that I saw a time when Europe could be uniting , almost lijke "USE"..� but I never imagined nor could many.. that it could be necessary to protect against potential�weakened tied with� our strongest ally.
That said, everything is cyclical, everything shifts, so maybe we shouldn't be surprised.� I am and always will be a dreamer though, who expects the best of human nature to prevail.� This week has brought all sorts of little signs of that to the surface.� We'll get there.�
Meantime a solar eclipse can sweep things away, usher in a new era, and we can also do that for ourselves, ( Is it time to have a major declutter?� Sort out boxes of old papers?� Make space for new things? Time to�show ourselves open to evolving and shifting and moving in the most positive new directions .� Let our wishes and hopes for the future be known by the universe. BUT.. big BUT.. right now if there is exhaustion and weariness and unfinished business.. no need to rush headlong into new commitments, better to pace yourself, take time to find the best route forwards, then as April's second week unfolds, ther'll be more blossoms and buds showing around those seeded new ideas.�
Look after yourself and thanks for stopping by!��Lotsalove�💖
Friday 21st March 2025.� Spring Equinox happened yesterday 20th March, at 0901hrs. with a Sagittarian Moon suggesting a considerable focus on matters international, which isn't hard to predict, I know, but that's what the astrology is underlining.� With Pluto's presence now in Aquarius, Neptune about to enter Aries, followed later by Saturn, and Uranus the awakener, the upsetter, en route for Gemini this summer, as Jupiter heads for Cancer,, it was always going to be a highliy disruptive, bumpy ride on the global front.� Which will of course be echoed in personal lives, more so there there are planets and angles at the end /beginning of signs, especially those mentioned above.��
Where in your life is there a sense of things changing quite significantly? Are you struggling to master the requirements of a new chapter, or to release yourself from an old one?� I'll write more soon..� �with love�💖
Wishing you a sunshine Sunday (9th March 2025) all..spring has popped in for a wee hello here as a solitary daffodil arrived today. It's a funny old time. The cosmos is churning up patterns that set us on alert.. Saturn aligns with the Pisces Sun just as Wednesday is born, marking closure and commitment, making a statement about power and boundaries, and there's a total lunar eclipse in Virgo on Friday, turning the tides, bringing matters to a peak, emphasising the details of life, just as Mercury stations to turn retrograde for three weeks. This is a pivotal week for many. Life may be assuming a different pattern for a time, with mid April to early May a decisive go ahead time linked to what's currently stuck or up in the air. Your horoscopes for the coming week are here as ever. Lotsalove 💖
Monday 24th February 2025 Action planet Mars has been retrograding since 6th December, beginning in Leo then backtracking over Cancer the sign he entered last September made his station to go forward at 0200 this morning UK time at 17 degrees of Cancer, so if you are Aries or Cancer or Scorpio, or Leo, you are likely to be sensitive to this one, but it's impacting us all.
It will be 17th April before he re-enters Leo, and early May by the time he's back where he began.
A retrograde Mars is like having a car you can't drive or can't take into top gear till work is done on it or a part arrives from afar. It's like a job you're told will be yours but you don't start yet, then that drags on..and on, and you feel stuck until things (often unexpectedly, if you're not an astrologer) start showing the first whispers of action, movement.
Mars on a station is not a miracle fix of anything by the way, but it often begins a process of things getting back on track.
Mars in Cancer isn't at his most relaxed, so actions are not as straightforward. He's a knight in shining armour, is Mars, but Cancer is a water sign, so the armour can be waterlogged. Moodiness? Grumpiness? Men in your life who seem a bit stuck or out of sorts? That's a possibility. Especially if they are indeed Aries, Cancer, Scorpio. The Leos have been back to the drawing board with some ideas.
A station of Mars can be impatient and sometimes explosive. Like wild creatures set free, running riot without a plan.
Watch out for impatience or emotional misunderstanding. Go easy where there's a co-operative venture underway. It may be one of those times when what seemed like a great plan is best not rushed into. A bit like waiting ages for a payment, then leaping to spend the money without shopping around.
It does seem that men are often more stirred when Mars stirs.... (Men are from Mars, remember?) and they might also feel more sensitive, more creative.
Mars is action and warrior planet in the sign of nutrition and family and home, so for any gender.. there may be a fitness challenge, a culinary initiative, a time of increased domestic activity.
If you were born on the 6th/7th of the month, of any sign, or have planets or angles at 17 degrees ( you can always look that up with your date, time and place of birth on the Astrotheme website or on Astro.com .. This could be more of a pivotal time for you. More so if 17 Cancer, Capricorn, Aries or Libra are showing in your natal chart.
Cancer is a water sign, so Cancer, you're starting to move forward but may have had some bumps along the way, and steering forward wisely is advised, not rushing. Impatience in yourself or others needs to be quietly processed for the root cause rather than over reacting. That's easily done. Especially as this is a swelling Moon week, with a big full one on Friday, and it's in Pisces, sign for you of freedom, expansion, of widening horizons, and also of deeper understanding and compassion.
Pisceans may be feeling fired up by this station, ready to steer in a more decisive direction and to follow personal desires, which can be a tricky one for a Pisces.
Scorpios, you could be on a creative roll as this phase gets underway. Aries, getting things done about the home may be a productive use of energy, though Mars at the core of your chart can bring forth irritation at the core of your world, hence using the energy to get things done instead, if you can. Independence urges can bring flashes of friction.
I've talked on my weekly phone lines about this week's Mars activity for each of the signs, accessed on my website, Lynneewart.com. You'll also find horoscopes and free to use Tarot, if there's a pressing question on your mind.
Have a good week all, and I hope Mars and you get along just fine! Lotsalove 🥰
Friday 14th February 2025 As the sparks of that� clashing, separative/rebelious, passionate whirlwind of a�midweek Leo full Moon� subside, there could be new alliances, romances, arrangements, bridges being built, in a lot of cases, with business in mind, deals to wheel.�
Mercury is newly in Pisces,� fabulous for compassionate and creative sorts, wonderful for helping Pisceans to express themselves,�and the Sun is angled to Neptune, ruler of Pisces, across this weekend, so, also think of magicians who can marvelllously "make" a huge monument appear to "disappear".. think of those tricks and illusions, when you are being promised the Earth, or when you're hearing the speeches�of those who need your cooperation, compliance. All that glitters isn't gold, but likewise fears may be stirred over what never comes to pass.��
Weather can often be Neptunian, which is rain, snow, fog.. so� be wise about driving and set off on journeys adequately prepared.
Moon is in Libra this weekend, love in the air for romantics, social vibes strong, tugging us to connect and communicate.� Maybe to make big promises too!�
Neptune's� touch could incline us to forego sensible in favour of sensation, escape, dreams.� It could be a magnificent steamy windows time for lovers, but it may also be one that takes a bit of recovering from, one way or another!� �
Enjoy, stay safe, and listen to that quiet voice of intuition what may advise you to agree to plans "provisionally" till that cloudy, maybe euphoric Neptunian�mist�that inclines us to see what we'd like��to, rather than what is there..clears.� �Lotsalove and wishing you a harmonious, happy, healthy weekend!��💖
The world is a bit unsettled just now, as we head into the dark of the Moon, which will give way to the Aquarius new Moon (this Wednesday 29th January at 12:36pm) making way in turn for the Chinese year of the Snake. There is then such a sense of things shifting, turning, opening up, with the forward move of the ruler planet of this Moon, the erratic, breathtakingly beautiful, Uranus, planet of innovation and awakenings, shake ups. Jupiter, planet of opportunity , openings, travel, liberation aligns in delicious harmony with the this new Moon. Whatever is going on in your world right now, something fresh is budding, stirring an awareness of what no longer fits, works, as the Snake sheds the old skin, ready to begin anew. Pluto in Aquarius now is very much about transitions, turmoil, about humanity being shaken into awakenings of what needs to change, or maybe what's simply ready to change You may find that recent events have stirred you out of a certain reserve, lethargy, inhibition, procrastination period.. and you're more determined now to press some start buttons on your own next chapter. Daring, adventurous plans could be hatched. Don't count yourself out of chances to widen horizons..if you don't ask you don't get....👏🥰 Lotsalove 💖
Tuesday 21st January 2025 Pluto aligns with the Aquarian Sun today and it's marking one of those now or never times. This isn't to be feared nor celebrated, it just IS.
In the simplest of terms, it's akin to when colour tv replaced black and white, when mobile phones took over from landlines, when we stopped calling and started texting and emailing as the norm.. when cars took over from horses.. it's a time of stepping into new terrain, new eras , in all sorts of ways.
Pluto is power.. associated with money, with energy resources, with digging deep for truth, too.
Aquarius is associated with idealism, with the masses, with humanity.
Pluto can bring extremes, turmoil, transitions. Aquarius is associated with maverick characters, with thinking outside of the box. The very fact that the new US president has elected maverick, (some of them non politically elected) executives to his team rather "fits" with that.
It's easy to see gloom and doom in everything, but this astrologer has hope that the coming planetary shifts can bring some much needed moves and societal shifts in a good direction across the globe, and the brighter we shine our individual light, and the more positive actions we display, the more hope there is for some remarkable winds of change to blow in the best direction for planet Earth and all of her passengers "in transit". 💫
Sunday Eve 19th January 2025.. Sun is now in Aquarius, sign of the water bearer, or of Hapi, wine bear of the Gods. Associated with Prometheus, the maverick character who broke the rules, gave the gift of fire to mortals and invoked the wrath of the Gods.. Aquarius needs personal space to explore all of the possibilities of life. They aren't mad keen on convention, rarely conform to society's expectations, yet they need a secure home base to flourish and they are drawn to real steadfast characters. Never boring, never predictable, always a step ahead in their thinking. They glitter with their own determination to do life their way. Well read, often self educated, these clever minds thrive on challenges, quizzes, conundrums. As partners they can be quirky, cranky, fixed, stubborn yet lively, interesting, and full of ideas, surprise too..and if you are friends with an Aquarian, you've got a loyal pal for life, so long as you don't expect too much fixed or routine contact. They need mind space. They're often unexpectedly "there" just when it matters most though. Right now..those with imminent or recent birthdays are feeling Pluto's immensely transformative power, as turmoil in some cases. Maybe uprootings, eras ending/beginning. Life changing chapters have been surrounding you since 2023. Pluto strips things right back, in certain areas, stirring you to begin again in a new, maybe more authentic version of your life. It'll be different for everyone but the vibe will be similar. That things are shifting from the core. Or maybe you're finding your inner power? Maybe you'll surprise yourself? Issues you've suppressed may surface to be released for once and for all. Pluto can be cathartic . New year, new you..may be incredibly relevant.
Pluto impacts us all, as he makes this sign shift, aligning as this week opens, with the Aquarius Sun,for the first time since 1779�, but this out with the old in with the new theme will resonate with some more than others. Are you feeling this?
anuary 15th2025. If sleep evaded you that big Moon is maybe the distraction..isn't she lovely ..still quite full, now in Leo, and she has been stirring thoughts that feel bigger than us. Maybe grand plans..maybe challenging expectations. Sun is building an opposition to retrograde Mars, exact tomorrow tugging us like the image of the Chariot in Tarot with the two horses pulling fast and furious in different directions, the Charioteer doing his best to align them in the same direction , while going full pelt ..so maybe current challenges feel daunting, yet there's more to come into this picture, by Friday, a sense of relief and maybe of less intensity around the demands. Alternative options, possibilities could appear.. So try not to beat yourself up over what's tugging you..try not to see things as either/or. Maybe everything has its place.. You'll get there. Lotsalove 💗
SUNDAY 12th January 2025 Moon is swelling big in Cancer, sign of belonging, of your family, your core, your home, your roots, and there's a bit of a jumpiness in the air, an electricity, stemming from Uranus aspecting this Moon, saying it's time for something new to unfold, and Neptune is coming into this picture, which symbolises wanderers.. travelers, water, the oceans.
Assertive action planet Mars is aligned with this lunation, saying we need to get a move on. Maybe we do, but he can stir us to be a bit hasty and impetuous too, so maybe an idea to stop and breathe. He's retrograde, so there could be frustration over what's not yet decided or known or not moving fast enough.
Feelings can be sensitive, hyped up, with excitement or with the urge to protect, hold tight. Do you feel as if you have put your finger into an electric socket....the waves of adrenalin saying hurry up and get this or that done?
Unsettled vibes are with us, and they can be great for getting us out into fresh air and moving, or tending tasks we want done, especially linked to home, to security, to family, but they can also make it tricky to feel as relaxed.
It'll be good to go out in fresh air and walk and talk and to do things to work off the adrenalin.
Feelings of belonging are important, at this Cancer full Moon, which is going to peak tomorrow night (Monday 13th 22:37hrs GMT).
For some there will be nice surprises around connections.
Know always though that you belong.. that you are a part of the pattern of life itself, always intended to be here, now, adding your light to the world. I've said it before, and will again, that you are made of love, of the light of the stars, of a thousand ancestors. You are love. If you're feeling a bit edgy and alone today, it'll pass, give yourself a big hug. .look in a mirror and say your name.. say "I love you".. and feel that message of those ancestors.
Those lucky enough to have loved ones around, have some hugs, have a wee reminisce.. go a walk with someone you love. The world may well be crazy right now, and feeling less than settled, but the more love and warmth we put out there individually, smiling, sending good vibes out there, the more light there will come.
Hope your weekend is kind, lotsalove 🥰
9th January 2025. The world feels a bit mad right now, as seems to happen when there are real major planetary shifts afoot.. aspects of the old order are swept away as the new era comes rushing in for some, strolling in for others.� There's a lot that'll turn in a good direction. changes that have been a long time needed, too. ..
4th January 2025. Happy New Year, all! For those in UK, 2025 your year ahead will be in tomorrow's Sunday Mail. Happy reading all.. 2025 is an unusual mix of major planetary shifts and reshifts. If I were to give advice it'd be to be prepared to adjust plans to fit new possibilities, and to have faith in your ability to do that. Meanwhile, current cosmic aspects out there are intense and pushing things to the limit can mean drama. Saturn gets serious on health matters, asking us to get proactive on self care, and today's Pisces Moonphase reminds us that we don't always have to be rushing around to make life meaningful. Winter days are good for reflecting, cosy ups and recharging the batteries. Lotsalove 💖
December 29th 2024 Hey lovelies.. it's Moondark.with the Capricorn New Moon late tomorrow night which I'll talk about tomorrow...so today? Try not to force things or be disappointed by what's not appearing yet, or by your own lack of mojo, or overthink what doesn't need instant solutions. Sometimes we need to instead set our minds free to roam into the sort of "what if's" that are more about "what if this works out for the best for me?".. "what if I actually can handle this challenge and not just survive but really thrive?" I have lots to tell you that's promising despite this crazy churned up time. New year horoscopes will be in next Sunday's Sunday Mail, with lots more available on my recorded 2025 horoscope phone lines right here, now. (LynneEwart.com) Recorded for you with love from me. 💖
Hey, wishing�you a good festive season, in whatever fashion brings you most contentment. The cosmos is unsettled and in a state of transition over this time, through 2025, too, but there will be lots of positive� changes too. I will do cosmic updates as often as I can, but know that I am always working to give of my best, wishing you well.� Lotsalove��💖
Sunday 24th November 2024 Wishing you a happy Sunday.💗 Truth is, it's a strange time of global shifts and transitions that naturally feel unsettling. We wouldn't be human if we didn't feel that stuff, but right now it might feel good to declutter, to do whatever might give a sense of order to our own immediate world, rather than focusing on news. Clear that cupboard, give what's not needed to be helpful to others, and benefit from the space, the order and the knowledge of being the good soul you are. Make our own best ne
