Hello from Sunshine kissed Scotland this Monday 6th February 2012!! Hope there's some of that golden light around you today, wherever you are! Moon's holding a few things back until 13:24hrs GMT today , tending practicalities and getting things in order, possibly altering one or two arrangements earlier on, or springing surprises, bringing something else to add to an existing equation, stirring much thought later as she then slips into Leo at 13:24hrs getting ready for her fullness tomorrow night in Leo at 21:54hrs..this full Moon will be decisive for a lot of people, but especially important to those contemplating the word "return" or planning on putting things back as they were. The truth is that we can never recreate what was there in the beginning, but sometimes by retracing steps we can work out the best way forward. Saturn is practically motionless right now, in Libra, and relationships are key to success. Team effort, community support, co-operative ventures and rowing the boat in the same direction to create round better times, has rarely been as important as it is right now.
Tuesday 7th February's full Moon is in the sign of leadership and of kings (and Queens)..with the very bright star Regulus close by and visible in the night sky, so much emphasis on leaders can be expected, and the message is "if you want to lead and be successful for the long term, let your integrity shine, do it for the good of all"
Friday 3rd February: Neptune has arrived in Pisces (after a brief dip in there between April and August last year).. this is an interesting move from many angles, but particularly because the last visit made to Pisces corresponded with a period of social unrest in nations under oppressive regimes. Neptune is associated with the collective unconscious, and this sign shift represents a quest for an escape route from life's harshness. The movie and entertainment industries will benefit from tapping into this mood and bringing us uplifting magic. It'll be 2025 before this Neptune visit is completed. Creative people can flourish as imaginations are stirred. Beware negative forms of escapism that turn into habits though. Compassion means more than ever when Pisces is highlighted, too, as does the world of healing, philosophy and spiritualism. We reach for higher inspiration through this era.
Monday 30th Jan 12: Mercury is outta sorts..little people may be too, and communications are unsettled on and off until Wednesday when folk mostly see the benefits of balancing each other's strong points rather than jarring their Achilles heels. Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun, and there's a lot of solar flare activity around, so minds are a bit over full, which is when they can malfuntion, like a computer acting up, refusing to shut down. Moon is in Taurus at least, so people can be soothed, reminded that whatever they are juggling with, will ease. Thursday will be a good one for meetings and chats incidentally, and for straightening plans out.
Friday 27th Jan 12 : Mercury is in Aquarius now.. that's good for finding logical answers to practical problems and for detaching to take a good view of the bigger picture. Saturday's lively and impulsive at times with the Aries Moon around us all, and travel notions could grab some, but it may help to try to think a few beats ahead before you commit to too much at once! A good old clearout of clutter could leave you feeling good, especially as you may rediscover some old treasures in the process!
Sun comes to Aquarius this Friday at 16:10hrs GMT.. and that lightens the air even though the Capricorn Moon keeps reminding us of pressures over the weekend, notably on Saturday when logic has to factor into tricky equations whether we like it or not. There's a bubble of positivity shining through even a difficult time, though, with Jupiter adding welcome support from gentle characters, although watch for overindulgences on Sunday! New thinking on old dilemmas could help a lot of folk this week, and the Aquarian new Moon is zippy and zingy suggesting that what you put your mind to, you have the power to stay with. Matters physical and material are prominent and issues of service and care may be much discussed. If you have a point to make, a bee in your bonnet, Monday finds the cosmos supportive of you expressing yourself clearly and assertively.
It's Chinese new year from Monday, the year of the Dragon, and a Waterdragon at that. My take on this is that we should check it out with my colleage Suzanne White! http://www.suzannewhite.com/ Enjoy! x
Sod's law is inevitably the ruler today(Thursday 19th January)..be warned. Saturn is squaring the Sun and that creates "road blocks" where things don't shift or move as fast as we'd like them to. Not the day for a revolution, and one to listen to the experts, and the wiser members of our circle. Older people will feature and those who know the rules, have experience can do well. Moon in Sagittarius adds the ability to see a bigger picture and spotlights faraway places. The spirit is tugged like a kite tied to a tree at times today. For some the tree brings a long hoped for anchor, a plan, while for others it's harder going. Tomorrow (Friday) feels like a day of freer choices, more from 16:10hrs when the Sun arrives in airy, ahh, breathe easier Aquarius, and those carrying heavier burdens could feel less pressure. Best wishes as always from your Scottish Stargazer!
January 16th 2012: Hello Monday..Moon is completing her journey over Libra entering Scorpio at 16:33hrs GMT, after mentioning the word "closure" a few times. Something could be firmed up, settled on today, and as Saturn is involved, this could be a business deal, a property plan or a situation wher things are being tied up. It's a day for mutual support and for finding a way to make demanding situations work as best as they can. Showing courtesy and consideration for another could bring welcome support at a later date. Evening will feel more soothing from 7pm, when being with those of a similar emotional make up feels best.
The Capricorn Sun (all about duty and authority) is angled to Mars, currently journeying over Virgo in a let's get things moving aspect this FridayMoon. This is very much an energy where people have an agenda, a task list, a schedule to work through and the determination to do just that, Moon favours being helpful and supportive to others, and tending the little tasks as she moves across service oriented Virgo, this Friday, but later linking with Mars by 01:00hrs Saturday, which,be warned is nippy and sharp and stirs folk to respond fast without thinking,which can bring heroes and villains to the fore, as well as stirring some to suddenly get a burst of energy on Friday,, maybe surprisingly so around midnight. Venus is aligned with Neptune in humanitarian Aquarius, stirring kindness and compassion and healing rays are strong, although this same aspect rouses idealism and romantic notions can be wild and wayward and many a liaison will have an edge of danger about it. Be warned. This is affair territory, too. As Moon will enter Libra on Saturday late afternoon, agitating any situation where there is an existing stress and pressure..around relationships of all sorts, forming an opposition to Uranus, look out for news of folk splitting up and going their own ways, and also for plans swiftly altering after an interchange. If this sounds a bit heavy going, let me also say that what happens over the next few days will bring some matters to a head, which have been on the cards for a long time. It will be a time when what needs to be achieved, can be, too. There will be some moments where soul mates meet, acknowledge each other and deal with what must happen next, too. Venus arrives in Pisces this Saturday, where she is at her finest, where love can take on its highest dimension. Compassion is in vogue. Fashion and artistry also flourish.
We'll be seeing gladiators out there, fighting for fairness and for service and for what's best for those they love. And look out for some amazing professionals who rise and shine when it means most.
Till next time, take care and thankyou for your visit today!
Lynne
We head towards a full Moon on Monday January 9th 2012, after a phase of Mercurial activity which suggests much to discuss, and a sense that no amount of talk changes certain facts which have to be faced and addressed. It's good to talk, so long as it's all kept realistic. Plan ahead for what's needed now and you will feel stronger, cope better with whatever challenges you're handling right now.
If you want to "reduce" anything or kick a bad habit, that becomes easier after that "feed the need" Cancerian Moon is full and begins to shrink from Monday. have a good weekend all ! .
There is a conjunction of the Sun with Pluto this Thursday 29th, so for some there is a sense of life never quite being the same, of deep inner or outer changed affecting the fabric of life. This energy to some folk will manifest as transformations to surroundings or lifestyle, and for others will cut deeper. Venus in the humanitarian sign of Aquarius favours those who can tread softly, not ruffling feathers, allowing dust to settle where there is turmoil or deep rooted change afoot. Festive season is so often filled with stark contrast, the bereaved find their pain intensified by the often false images of how jolly everyone else in the world is feeling, and the contrast of abundance versus poverty seems even more intense.
I just want to take a moment to send love and hugs to anyone who's feeling outside of the festive mood of the collective. Actually the collective is filled with mixed, contrasting moods, so you really are not alone, and after the event may find that actually everyone's a bit relieved that the "pressure" is over.
Moderation's grand sometimes.. ! If you feel like tugging the duvet over you, well why not? But spoil yourself a little too if you can. Best wishes to everyone for 2012, for good health and smiles aplenty. Lynne xx
Thursday 22nd December marks the Winter Solstice,from whence the days begin to stretch and the light returns. For some this is a dark time, in more ways than one, yet the light is shining more, and Thursday certainly offers a supportive Sun/Jupiter aspect that might well make us all feel that bit of ease, and perhaps even a little more festive. Some will be bright as buttons while others are deep, with Moon dark approacching, a new Moon forming on Christmas eve at 18:06hrs GMT in Capricorn.The cosmos hasn't a clue that it's Christmas. If it did it might choose Thursday 22nd, or next Tuesday 27th to Thursday 29th for that easier free flowing vibe we look for.
Friday 9th December..hopefully you can look up and see that big round Moon before she goes into her eclipse in Gemini which will happen Saturday 10th at 14:36hrs GMT. This lunar eclipse is an unsettling one. On one hand it may agitate us to take care of things we've been needing to do. Write those letters, pay visits, make calls, complete a paperwork project. On the other, globally, international communications are going to be tricky at this time, but this is already manifesting in the Euro Summit talks in which David Cameron has chosen to separate the UK finances from those of EU. So a lot of controversy around, and people very much out to cover their own backs, which is just human nature, really.
Full Moons point to the turning of the tides, something extreme when it's an eclipse, and our weather has certainly been that with a hurricane across Scotland in particular, I hope you all stayed safe!
There's restlessness over Saturday, an urge to connect, but on our own terms, and it'll be Sunday before certain moods ease and calm down. Sunday is lovely for family events with a difference, and some spur of the moment plans could be made, making for a lovely afternoon. Home comforts and cooking will be popular!
Monday is a day for clearing up uncertainties, pushing away the fog, and the mid afternoon phase is very good for getting things done. As Tuesday brings a Jupiter/Uranus connection added to the Sun and Venus aligning, there may be some lovely unexpected news of weddings, babies and also of surprise gains. Wednesday brings Mercury around to consider a move forward after his three week phase where in Sagittarius he often disrupts travel, communications and education. Thursday has three Mars aspects, and a fiery Leo Moon, so people want a good job done NOW! Swish and swoosh! Get things moving, get arrangements made clear and make sure that harmony and humour remain intact in the process as Mars then stretches across to connect with jolly ole Jupiter on Friday, and the Moon heads across Virgo, bringing the chance of something coming to light that needs prompt action,,a bit of a "whoops, look at the time/date" moment! Check watches and diaries!
Have a great week and stay warm, dry and safe won't you! Unless you are in a hot country in which case, stay cool, dry and safe! 
Sun in Sagittarius is squaring Mars in Virgo this Friday 2nd December, ruled by a retrograde Mercury, which can be a bit of a shoot yourself in the foot aspect,so tread carefully and make allowances wherever you can, as it helps to raise your head to an objective/philosophical level.Some folk will be showing their antsy side! It's a bit like a situation where traffic lights are out at a busy junction. Being thoughtful and considerate when you reach out to others is always a plus, although under this self serving aspect, others may be less than appreciative, so just do your best, expect not a lot back and try to channel those energising sparks into positive, straightforward action wherever you can
This weekend, 26th/27th November has a lot to commend it. Sagittarius is where the Moon is on Saturday, and a lot of catching up could be done, as well as the tending of business, which for many could even be a pleasure! Venus comes to Capricorn this Saturday and she favours mixing business with socialising, so over the next few weeks a lot of good can come of connections with friendly faces who'll stir the thinking and planning and inspirational process. Look out for some surprises this weekend around the women in your world. Sunday has a meltingly warm and encouraging trine from Venus to Jupiter in Taurus, adding ease and understanding to most relationships and boding rather well for mutual support in business. This could be a good day for buying and selling, too.
Monday shows stark reality/practicality requiring us to address what needs to be mended and not necessarily at a convenient time. There may be a bit of a push needed to get to a needed deadline or target.
Tuesday is sparkling away, and the Aquarian Moon adds ease around communications and brings old friends and colleagues back in touch, too, perhaps with meet ups to plan. Indeed for some there may be reconnections this week that have a strange vibe around them, such as meeting up with an ex or with someone you're not entirely comfortable with. Wednesday sees emails and calls and tugs that make it hard to stay on track with what's to be done, Mercury of course is retrograde at the moment(since Nov 24th and until Dec 14th) backtracking and complicating some arrangements There could be a connection that sees all of the stops being pulled out to make a person or situation better by Thursday, and a bit of a push on Friday, to get service from others or to provide a service yourself. Work needs might clash with urges to be elsewhere, but a lot can be achieved between now and Sunday 4th.
If you are in the mood for romance..watch for some very sensual moments..and also be careful where things are complicated, not to complicate your own set up ! Venus and Pluto can set up a "mistress" situation, and they can also bring a lot of intensity into relationships in general, and between women in particular. Watch for lines being crossed than have "no return" marked on them. And if you are shopping..check that actually, a "return" is acceptable as part of the deal.
Till next time, have a great week whatever you are up to!
Coming up this weekend 19th/20th November, the Virgo Moon recommends tending the details, getting things shipshape where possible in anticipation of a phase where you may be asked to supply information, or to come up with answers on the hoof. It's not the highest energy weekends, so looking after the body becomes more important. Some will feel drained and weary, others inspired and creative. Overstretching oneself physically feels like a poor plan, although swimming may feel therapeutic. It's a good time to quietly sift and sort and to let thoughts flow while pottering, ideally.
Tuesday comes with the Sagittarian Sun and by Thursday Mercury is retrograding in that sign, and with a partial solar eclipse (new Moon) in Sagittarius on Friday, there's a great deal of emphasis on education, on travel and on reviews and rethinks. There is at this point additional focus on Australia, on Spain and on the antarctic too.
Personally, we'll be in the mood to shape the future with something good about the past, wanting to book holidays or make plans for good times...yet with Mercury on a slowdown, travel and transport may likewise be subject to rescheduling, so bear that in mind. That said, there could be some amazing "deals" around...with Wednesday highlighted.
New Moons are good fresh start times.. for some going back to school, retraining or heading back to a familiar location could be a theme for the eclipse that ends this week with your new beginning.
Till next time!
Outlook: Monday 14th November 11.
. a lot can be achieved between now and Wednesday 16th, .when Mars trines Jupiter. Mars is newly arrived in Virgo, there to remain, due to an extended retrograde phase, until 3rd July 2012.This means that the emphasis will have to be on the practical details of life, on old fashioned hard work bringing rewards. I'll write more when I can, folks, just a bit tied up right now! : )
NOvember 11th 2011. Remembrance Day. I'd sooner stay silent until tomorrow folks..Respect to our Heroes xx
Looking forward.. November 4th 11
There's a building opposition between Mars, planet of passion, energy, masculinity and illusionary Neptune, planet of dreams, of inspiration and, also of deception and absorption..this can give a flat tyre feeling, draining energy, and bringing some elusive behaviour around the men in your life, or the life in your men. Creativity shines, though, and it's a wonderful time to shine in a dramatic or compassionate arena. Mars is in the peacock sign of Leo, also the sign of the heart, while Neptune is in the humanitarian sign of Aquarius. On a more mundane note, watch for breakages, flat tyres and leaky or faulty engines. Wednesday is my favourite day as that's when the Moon is swelling in Taurus, ready to become full on Thursday, yet full of hope and promise, and bringing some special plans to fruition in the best of ways. Chiron, the little teacher/wounded healer, rather maverick little asteroid orbiting through Pisces is moving forwards as the Moon swells full on Thursday...taking some of us out of our comfort zones, and into a demanding chapter where giving of our best becomes all important as Friday sees energising Mars heading into health and work sign, Virgo. Busy bees who enjoy being of service will flourish!
Till next time
Lynne
Looking ahead from Friday 28th October 11:
Well that's the Mayan calendar ended..and last time I counted we were all still here, but the mood of this Friday is upbeat and forward looking..so just as we throw away the old calendar on January 1st each year, and start looking forward to the possibilities of the coming year, this is a new cycle that's beginning, and I think that despite the prevailing challenges, we actually have the equipment we need to make the best of what we have, it's just a matter of utilising our own capacity, skills, energies as wisely as possible.
Jupiter and Pluto are harmonising, suggesting favourable legal and official deals. Something initiated or decided around now will be completed around the second week of March 2012.
The weekend should have some good moments for those looking to resolve matters material and physical. It's a great time for parties, with Jupiter so strongly in evidence, and a tricky time for sticking with a diet plan by the way!!
Venus and Mercury will be shining in harmony through this week, good time for talks. good time for love and travel, good time for people to buy and sell, too.
Thursday is the standout day for innovation and adventure and for daring enterprises, too.
Have a good one! Till next time
Looking ahead from Friday 21st October 11 :
The Leo Moon meets Mars in Leo, bringing peacocks to the fore, stirring us to shine and dazzle, and to pour energy into creative projects, to get busy and active with the kids, and of course, when Moon (feeling) meets Mars (anger), it's easy to be cross about what affects our happiness, our kids, our self expression. People are out of sorts one minute, moved the next. Everything feels smoother after 11pm, which may seem a bit late, but better that than never! The bigger picture says that a little give and take, showing consideration for others will be incredibly appreciated and today there will also be some good, good souls showing their true colours too. Showbiz events go well.
Saturday/Sunday 22nd -23rd.. Saturday lunchtime's Venus link to Uranus shows surprises around women, perhaps someone taking an initiative that you weren't expecting them to. Moon arrives in Virgo at 15:41hrs(BST) and will then proceed to harmonise with Pluto and Jupiter also in earth signs and this is excellent for getting a move on with practical tasks and for helping others too. A long awaited telephone call will mark Sunday as significant for some, while Mars and Pluto connecting from Leo to Capricorn suggests that to get folk motivated where you need their energy and input, dangling a little carrot of reward or appealing to the ego, such as praising their capabilities may be the preferred method! It could work, too ; )
Sun arrives in Scorpio on Sunday 23rd at 19:30hrs (BST).. transformations are in the air, and some will be dramatic. Clearing space is a theme this Sunday, too.
Monday 24th.. Moon spends the morning in Virgo still, while the ruler Mercury angles to Uranus warning of trying to go in a straight line with work but getting distracted by personal matters.. then from 16:49hrs (BST)sociable, fairminded and balance seeking Libra hosts the Moon until 16:08hrs (BST) Wednesday, but over those hours there may be a lot of debate and some folk who want to see resources deployed differently will make their voices heard, with Tuesday bringing a surprise breakthrough for some.
New Moon on Wednesday is in Scorpio at 20:56hrs(BST) and this shows a time when people who usually disagree decide to unite for a common end, with an intention to bring improvements, and they can succeed. There will be some legalities making news, international financial agencies to the fore between then and Friday 28th, which is a time of resolution and for some of a final conclusion of significance. You might also like to know that I'm told that the Mayan calendar ends here, and a new cycle begins.
Planet Earth may well reach a very important turning point..it really is time for a shift, and my feeling is that we are all gradually realising that actually, we need to work together.
Till next time, my thanks to those who call my lines, which help to fund this site, and to those who simply dip in and enjoy, you also are most welcome.
Wishing you love and warmth always, and sorry I can't answer all the emails that come in, but I always send a wee quiet ray of encouragement to every sender.

Looking ahead from Friday 14th October 2011:
Mercury is now in Scorpio, and so is planet Venus. That full moon we see just ebbing away, now in Taurus (last night placed close to Jupiter, planet of freedom, hope and expansion) was actually full in Aries, sign of the pioneer, and that's the sign also playing long term host to Uranus, the sudden shockwaves planet of cutting edge initiatives, and those two Scorpio planets want to revive and rebirth and transform and they often have to kill something off before they can push ahead. So where in your life is there some deadwood? Where is it that you feel held back by excess baggage?
What could you do as part of a team or twosome that could enhance your current position?
The weekend turns livelier from Saturday afternoon UK time, when at 15:15hrs the lunar vibe is Gemini, and we all seem wittier and sparklier and more nimble, more apt to connect with folk in a spontaneous and fun way. Sunday still has that Gemini Moon, but she then moves into a deeper and more analytical phase where ther are answers sought, and very likely found. Problems can be resolved with this kind of resourceful eneregy that's pulsing away, and plans roll forward successfully for those willing to put the effort in, although look out for small things that'll mean a lot. Words need to be chosen with care, as they have the power to light a few fires, actually in a promising way. Ask the right questions, lead the conversation a certai way and you get good results. Resourceful characters do well, and "Dark Horses" come to the fore. Music, words, dance and dexterity skills are favoured.
Monday is tricky and a bit odd at times. People think big but play safe one minute then take mad chances the next. It's not the day to get into a big debate as people seem to have their arms folded..which means they are closed for discussion. It looks like the morning could have some jangly moments connected to machinery, technology linked to pleasure plans a wee bit cranky. By the end of the day there's a more soothing vibe.
Tuesday brings the Moon into her own sign of Cancer the Crab. Until 12:34hrs midday..we're all a wee bit out of sorts and wanting home comforts but feeling pressure. Then it all lifts and feels a whole lot brighter. Family connections are hopeful, close and sociable.
Wednesday morning is favoured for most things, but from just before 13:00hrs , again a moody Moonphase reminds us of needs versus musts and there's a lower key, heavier going phase until Thursday 11:06hrs when a Leo Moon says come on, enjoy life! Be adventurous, remember that the only time we have is now, that the past is gone, and the future isn't here, so enjoy life, make the moment count! Friends, kids, party plans and pleasurable arrangements with others are to the fore. So much so that Friday may, after a bit of a firecracker phase, end up with a real sense of team spirit, unity, maybe even a touch of glamour around a special occasion for some. Charitable events could keep some folk very very busy indeed!

Looking ahead from Friday 7th October 2011
Friday is magical for creative inspiration, and some will make an all out effort to get out of a difficulty, which for some is physical, and Friday evening really favours harmony, mutual support and compassion. Images of women will dominate the media. Fashion and glamour could be to the fore, too.
The weekend has a Pisces Moonphase, wonderful for sheer escapism, and for coming up with ideas that need imagination. Jupiter and Pluto are beginning to make a helpful angle (exact in about three weeks' time) for those who really need resolution of an official matter or to formulate solutions to bigger issues, so a lot of reflection and dreaming could go on now, with an eye to the longer term. Saturday is the better day for an easier flow of ideas and for feeling more at peace. Sunday has Uranus getting into the mix which means that the urge to escape and be free flowing gets interrupted, perhaps by agitation over as yet unresolved issues, or perhaps by people simply disturbing each others' peace over the lunchtime phase, not necessarily intentionally. Venus arrives in Scorpio and adds sensuality and sizzle to relationships, and of course when Scorpio is involved, there can be taboos, there can be extremism, intensely burning attractions, and oh dear that old bugbear, jealousy laced with a touch of suspicion about motives, commitment, resources..Venus can be a wee bit inclined to self sabotage in Scorpio, so try if you possibly can, to avoid scuba diving into the very depths of another's soul to check out commitment levels when you haven't even checked out whether the day to day stuff feels okay between you. Going at a moderate pace is Saturn in Libra's advice for relationship longevity.
Full Moon is coming up and from Monday to Wednesday the Aries Moon is agitating us all, stirring the need to be out there and more active, to take the initiative and do something about situations crying out for change, yet in particular on Monday, there are barricades and complications to be dealt with. Some might say there are safety fences and reasons to take our time. Tuesday is more conducive to getting things moving, making things happen, pulling plans together, as the monthly completion point of the perfect circle Moon is at 03:06hrs (BST) on Wednesday, so get it done and dusted if you can on Tuesday. Much reflection and perhaps a little delighted basking is indicated on Wednesday itself, which is lovely for a little spontaneous socialising of the more relaxed sort. Thursday puts Mercury into Scorpio and Venus aligns with Pluto. Hmm.. The power of love is to the fore. Some miracles may be reported, but look out for darker tales emerging too, with the theme of secrets and passion. Some relationships will have a manipulative quality, which can be not so sweet, but there will be some Svengalis around who will help others to shape up and achieve their goals. The Sun and Saturn align, making it a day for realists, and for those hoping to change the world, alter the status quo, it may not happen on Thursday, as people stick with the tried and trusted, and with what they find familiar, reassuring. Older people are prominent, women are in the news, and it's a week of closure.
Till next time, take care, have a good week! Calls to my horoscope lines fund this site, so thank you if you're a caller, I hope you find my work insightful and helpful
Friday 30th September 2011..I am looking at a slightly unsettling afternoon and evening phase, where people may be talking a bit at cross purposes or arrangements awkward, yet the bigger picture shows wheels rolling in the right direction. October opens on Saturday with a Sagittarius Moonphase beginning and going through Sunday into Monday's early hours, which stirs wanderlust and the desire to be free, to go large, to do things in style, seen as the Sagittarius ruler planet is Jupiter, who is in a challenging, energising link with impulsive Mars. I think it matters a lot not to go throwing yourself into running a mile without warming up first. Get the gist? You could race ahead at the outset then fall by the wayside if you try to do it all without due preparation, so it's an idea not to try to overcompensate, or to assume that if you don't grab a slice of the action fast, it may pass you by. Digging deep into your own resourcefulness under Monday's disciplined and controlled Capricorn Moonphase is easier to do. I'd advise not pushing the boat out on Sunday, but allowing yourself time to stretch and flex your wings a little, maybe enjoy some time out, if that's possible, even an hour or two away from a challenge could help you to get the right mindset to tackle it well.
Monday has its jangly moments, but a lot of goodwill and some passionate support for those who need it. Something might come into the news on Monday that wasn't supposed to be told or told yet.
Look out for some demands for action over matters of safety, using a sobering event as a backdrop.
Tuesday has a thumbs down feel to it for me..maybe just the way I see it, but it's a bit droopy looking to me. We might go round in circles for a time, and insecurities are more to the fore as people fear their needs may not be met. That mood lifts with a sparkle on Wednesday, though, when there's a nice spirit of helpfulness and a real humanitarian vibe. Help your fellow man or woman and enjoy the feeling of being energised by the experience. Social plans could feel just right and friendship is warm.
Thursday has Jupiter and Uranus stirring a Moon opposition to Mars, which means that restless impulses might complicate existing arrangements. Small is beautiful, Allowing plans to get overly ambitious creates anxiety, while sticking to the tried and trusted may not be exiting, but makes sense. Being careful in communications with others helps avoid pointless debates.
With 50% of the heavenly orbs in the element of Air.. it's a strong week for communications, for ideas, for all things of the air...yet with little Mercury connecting with Saturn, ideas need to be grounded and workable and actually not too avant garde, to succeed. Looking for fashion/creative/media inspiration? Dip back in time by 7,14,21 or 28years..
Till next time, fellow skywatchers..havea good week and thanks for stopping by. Calls to my horoscope lines which are featured on each star sign's horoscope fund this website, so thank you very much to those who call and thanks to all who enjoy visiting my website !
Friday 23rd September 2011: Equinox, folks, day and night perfectly balanced, which leads me nicely to mention that the sign of Balance is where it'll all be happening, as Friday 23rd at 10:05hrs BST the Sun crosses into Libra, beginning a week of astrological note, as tension and agitation planet Uranus does his best to change the "status quo" in a lot of areas, which might be no bad thing, surprisingly, as what needs to change, begins to. Some people will be altering their own status this week..swapping singledom for coupledom or vice versa. The cosmos favours co-operation and consideration, sharing the load and sharing the fun, too, when Libra rules.
Expect the unexpected in your social circle, with some shockwaves resonating in the early part of the week. Tuesday's New Moon in Libra comes after the agitation, awakening, shake it up aspects from Uranus in self focused Aries. My mind goes back to that incredible moment in Tiananmen Square on June 5th 1989 when one lone individual with a strong sense of humanitarianism, matched with Libran grace rather than agression, stood quietly before a convoy of army tanks and incredibly, halted the inevitable. Sometimes all it takes is one person to stand with quiet dignity, for what they believe in, or to capture the right moment to put forward an innovative plan to make a difference. One person's ideas or move that alters the consciousness of the collective. The domino effect is around this week. One person suddenly makes a suggestion/announdement/change that makes sense. In some cases changes that have been a long time coming.
Uranus in Aries is associated with riots, but as there are so many planets in Libra, the bigger picture suggests groups getting together to do things differently for the good of many, with fairness and manners in mind.
This week will see a lot of weeding out of the clutter and debris and unclogging of channels of communication, of access. It'll bring the demise of situations which have got to a point where the balance is way off and things just have to change. What springs up in place of what ebbs away has a good chance of working better.
The world is a crazy place right now, but actually, I feel genuinely hopeful, despite what I'm hearing and reading, and I wish you the very best always.
Friday 16th September 2011. Pluto ends a reverse thrust phase that began on April 9th, a phase of stocktaking and of in some ways feeling quite stuck or unsure about which way is forward, needing to dip deep down into ourselves and even touch rock bottom in some instances so that we know then for sure which way is up.
Pluto heads forward this Friday through Capricorn, sign of government, of attainment and containment, in other words, building security and protecting it. Pluto is the planet of power, which can be subversive, sending ripples and undercurrents, stirring fears of the unknown or curiosity about what's taboo. Pluto is compulsive and stirs behaviour that we might not usually condone or accept in ourselves, yet this planet has a way of stirring the unthinkable to manifest. It's the planet around when we enter a taboo relationship, or when we plunge ourselves into debt by putting the rent money on a horse, for example.
Pluto is like a bottomless pit, where once you step in, you are tied, so he represents very intense, extreme and compulsive situations. Connect Pluto to Venus as happens over this weekend, becoming exact on Monday 19th, and we have potential for love in all its extremes manifesting. Eternal triangles, rekindled romances, reappearances from the past, in some cases for closure to happen. This is a time when people go to extremes for love. Donating a kidney to a loved one, or taking on their debt for example, yet the sense of obligatedness is intense whichever way we look, even if we don't want to feel that or for others to feel that way.
Uranus, planet of the unexpected, of rebellion and reversals is also in this picture, and for some there will be surprises, breakthroughs and shake ups that lead to a rethink, or mental awakenings that stir urges to go back to some part of the past, to retrace steps.
Some of us will get into an impatient frame of mind where we are ready to just propel ourselves into something that at another time, we wouldn't dare to. The Bungee jump for example!
Mars flies into fiery, lusty and creative, life loving Leo for seven weeks from Monday, and this adds more passion to love, brings out the showbiz stories and actually will up the birth rate too. Many boys will be conceived at this time.
There will be some intense love affairs and news stories could be larger than life. Look out for news of male royals too, towards the end of this week. Friday 23rd brings Autumn equinox, when the Sun enters Libra and Mars connects with Uranus on a Leo Moon day, bringing plenty of drama and drive to make new things happen. This is a great day for team efforts, and could bring a breakthrough that stirs positive change for the future. It may be a day when heroics are reported, and with so much emphasis on the dramatic side of life, I wouldn't expect a dull or quiet close to this week.
Till next time, thanks for stopping by!

Saturday 10th September has a swelling Pisces Moon which is not totally relaxed to be honest, suggesting that duty will be calling for sacrifices in the name of fairness. Saturn favours partnerships that support, and brings strength through long term connections. Venus and Mars are sparkling away together over the full Moon weekend though so there shold be plenty of charm around socialising, especially on Sunday. Business deals have a good feel and come to a swift conclusion, too.
Expect some important progress with matters long overdue, possibly information coming at last this week which links to the last week of July. Monday will bring insightful facts and figures and some talk about matters that have to be kept secret for the moment, while Tuesday/Wednesday are unsettled in parts, thanks to the Aries Moon with Uranus then tying into Pluto and finally Saturn, the common sense rational influence.
Uranus is stirring the need to take direct and personal action to change things, but is battling with a certain area of constraint or apprehension about how a plan of action might be received by those whose agreement is important.
However,Agreements and settlements could appear by Thursday, when harmony planet Venus comes to Libra just as Mercury and Jupiter interlink rather well, suggesting a financially favourable point, perhaps for some easing a stressful situation.
Friday has a good feel to it for business and agriculture and banking. Could be there's some helpful job/property news from government too. Till next time, thanks for your visit!
Saturday 3rd September 11 is a lovely Jupiter day, well lovely in that big events often attract the big crowds, lovely in that many of us earth and water signs are feeling that soothing, mellow vibe, that's the Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces for water signs and Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn for the earth signs, incidentally. So yes for a lot of us it could feel like a pretty good day. The wee iffy thing is the Scorpio Moon. You see Jupiter bigs things up, so we can use that and have a ball, doing great things, or we can let a row escalate. Scorpio is like a bottomless pit of emotion and resourcefulness, so when someone gets upset under a Scorpio Moon, a whole lot of dirty stuff gets flung out there. This can be a great weekend for actually getting to grips with making that bigger picture work, getting that improvement plan up and running at last and feeling good about all we do, So long as we also remember that it's better to focus on what we're doing and not ruffle anyone's feathers too much because what constitutes a a playful nudge in one person's view may feel like a slap in the face to another, and of course jolly old Jupiter is there to big it up, so perhaps you'll prefer to steer away from any situation where you know you could end up wasting a lot of time and emotional energy and instead pour it into something that does feel worthwhile to you?
Sunday is the first quarter of the new Moon and it's in Sagittarius, so expect some restless tugs this way and that and a few narky moments unless you are out in the garden tidying it up, or off for a walk or energetically hosting a barbie (although some folk might still be a bit narky!) That all eases, though. Travel plans could be on your mind too over Sunday evening into Monday (UK timing..sure you'll do the maths if you must, my overseas guests, apologies for not setting out different time zones, but space makes that a bit tricky for now anyway, One of these days my new clever website will be up and running (big hint dropped there in the direction of web guru AE who is way overworked!)
Tuesday into Wednesday is filled with taking care of business and avoiding the sentiment, kind of energies, which is likely to bring news of the sort we are all too familiar with about jobs, housing, bankers etc. This energy is also good for building something, so a good time to see what might work well in the face of what's altering. Housing could be especially prominent, along with the world of professional caretaking at all levels.
Mercury moves clear of the cosmic fog by Thursday night, and then into Friday is moving through the crisp and clear sign of Virgo, so if you have been dancing in the dark of late, the light is about to go on.
Till next time folks and thanks for stopping by!
Friday 26th August, and Mercury is on a pause, like someone who's been engrossed in other matters for a time, taken his eye off the ball temporarily, and now realises there's a need to get back on track. Having said that, Mercury's retro phase has paused some plans which has allowed us time to have a think or even a rethink about ideas which once seemed straightforward, and now have other arms and legs around them to be taken into consideration. So the retro phase allows some worthwhile fine tuning of future plans. It can also bring people and issues back into the picture. So now this little companion planet of the Sun stirs with interest in the here and now and begins to pick his way forward again. This isn't immediate progress, but progress is ahead. Fact is that some of your plans may no longer hold water, so you'll have new ones coming up, especially over the next fortnight or so. A new Moon on Monday 29th at 04:04hrs (BST) in Virgo emphasises health and employment matters, and actually has a more hopeful feel to it than many will have expected as something moves in the right direction to encourage a little more confidence in the markets, perhaps, not that I claim to be a financial astrologer, but my eye is drawn to the helpful connections between Venus, Jupiter and Pluto all aspecting over the next week from their earth sign locations, and that to me suggests some welcome common sense around, too!
Romantically, Venus and Jupiter are warming us all up a bit, and a lot of people will decide to spend on travel and on things that make us feel physically brighter, which may be mad indulgences for some, or wise investments in our own fitness for others. Jupiter is pausing in Taurus on Tuesday, and there is a slightly more restrained feel around the word "indulgence" thereafter, so it could be a good tome to get around to doing something to improve fitness levels. People will have a bit more confidence in the future this week, and there could be more than the usual number of happy announcements. Very welcome, too! Till next time, folks and thanks for stopping by.
Saturday 20th August 2011 has a lovely Moon/Jupiter conjunction in Taurus, which will encourage goodwill and many an indulgence in all that pleases. Jupiter stirs Taurus and Capricorn and Cancer to travel and explore and to be romantic,too. The evening feels more intense, so watch for extremes, for folk overdoing it! Sunday is slightly out of sorts, perhaps as a result, and there is a tendency for folk to want to just switch off and be lazy and go with the flow, ideally in comfortable surroundings. Venus switches sign on Sunday night at 11 minutes after 11pm (BST) moving then into Virgo, and favouring the earth and water signs for a few weeks with added warmth and affection! Monday is a Gemini Moon day, sparkling with connections of all sorts, although some will want to talk about matters that make others a wee bit uncomfortable. Sun opposes Neptune, so watch for things that aren't what they seem..and for people who gloss over the reality in favour of the fantasy..don't be sold a pipe dream! Tuesday sees the Sun arriving in Virgo at 12:21pm (BST) and a good day for many purposes, including work quests and meetings which link to applications some weeks back. Early afternoon is good for that chat you've been wanting to have, too. Wednesday brings the Moon into Cancer, and some sensitive matters are in focus for many, including relationships with family and accommodation issues. Thursday sees Saturn connecting with Neptune..this is all about shedding what weakens you, and being realistic about what you can do, shaping creative gifts so that they can be commercially viable in some cases, too. Friday is when Mercury moves forward, at 11:02pm (BST) and under a Leo Moon, this seems to be a day when being proud of who you are and what you can do well is something to stand up for. Mercury jars with Uranus over two days then, Friday and Saturday, so a trip connected to communications technology and to service may be repeated before matters are concluded.
Till next time! :)
Friday 12th August.. Friday's Aquarian Moon stirs fellowship and friendship, and helps us to take a more detached and logical view of complicated situations which have arisen in recent weeks. Look up at the (UK)sky tonight..and you will see a big round Moon there..(full on Saturday @19:57hrs).that's the sky sector of Aquarius, the humanitarian. What might you do to make a difference? Are you planning a "friends" weekend?
Sunady's Pisces Moon is great for relaxation, escapism and connecting seamlessly with others, and that mood drifts into the early part of
Monday 15th, although guilt twinges could stir some to tend things in a hurry!
Tuesday 16th has more of that Pisces Moonphase, alongside the Sun's connectiion with Venus and Mercury in Leo, Mercury being retrograde, so expect to hear back from people who have news that pleases or brings relief, and look out for the unexpected twist in a tale, too.
Wednesday 17th has bucketlolads of impatience, a tendency to want to push things forwards, which is akin to trying to push a door open when the sign says "pull". Taking a deep breath and stepping back to get a perspective might help your plan.
Thursday is glitering with make it move, make it happen energy and this time the picture is clearer and wisdom is present, so you could get a lot done, and there may be a round of appluase along the way. Pulling together is a theme, with a good leader of the team, encouraging.
Friday 19th has a great sky for all things Venus. Love, pleasure, indulgences, art, food..and it could be a helpful day for finances, too. Till next time!
A VOLATILE WEEK IN THE COSMOS! , my note, Posted on Facebook Monday 8th August 2011, as a follow on from my previous predictions from 6th August, below.
Astrologically, it isn't surprising to hear of all the extremes in the news, with warrior planet Mars opposing power planet Pluto and squaring up to them both is anarchistic Uranus in Aries. People are moving and shaking things up this week, some with a poorly thought out agenda, who could shoot themselves in the foot. A small display of strength could be met by a blast of power. But don't underestimate the power of injured feelings in this volatile week. How to get the best of it? Revamp, straighten things out, clear out the garage, cupboards, declutter, strip away the messy stuff and clean it all up..whatever "it" is. Mercury favours getting round to what's been postponed, catching up, fine tuning ideas.
The best way this energy operates is when everyone is emotionally stirred to help out in a crisis, to throw all that emotion into being a great team, being energetic on the home and for the family, turning around dark and stuck situations that have been lying neglected for long enough. Digging deep into resourcefulness.
Sometimes it takes a crisis to rebalance, to get the right perspective. I don't suggest that everyone has to have a crisis this week, but one way or another there will be drama that stirs deeper feelings.
Mars is not at his best in Cancer. Picture a deep sea diver in one of the old metal suits.. picture a gladiator with a pinny on, picture doors being slammed to make a point and someone with more power removing the doors, walls and roof. Consequences are intense this week. Uranus is a bit of a hurricane, stormy and tempestuous and sometimes like a selfish teenager who rocks the boat when others are conscientiously trying to row in the best direction, although the "others" may not be taking into account the feelings of the teenager and respect may be absent on both sides.
Is there a situation like this analogy in your life? Who is playing each of the roles?
Saturn in Libra is the most helpful character here, as he brings harvest and reward for those who know that the best way to bring reform is via courteous dialogue, using the rulebook, not burning it.. aggression/force/bully tactics tned to paralyse the natural process of evolution and positive change.
Saturn in Libra favours team efforts, diplomacy that needn't be sweetly lying down to be a doormat, but instead involves strategy that's fair on all concerned. Strategy not tantrums will get results. Shock tactics on the aprt of some this week will perhaps stir others to take a more balanced approach to improving the situation that's currently winding them up.
Mars is explosive in opposition to Pluto, and with Uranus it is one volatile scenario... earthquakes and volcanoes either literal or emotional are depicted. It will be very tempting to let feelings ( some of prickled pride) which have been long suppressed, blow, too. My advice is to think carefully before you act hastily, but those gut instincts will be powerful, and although I am warning of some very tense and tricky energy around, somehow I get the feeling that many of us will emerge from this week with something of a sense of achievement. These energies are of overcoming impossible odds too, so look out for some pretty amazing happenings.
May the Force be with you, and used wisely! X
Saturday 6th August: There's a deep and sultry sexy Scorpio Moon about. This brings out the best in some folk and the pits in others. Taking care of a crisis uses the energy wisely, as does revamping
, being creative, getting around to those tasks you have been meaning to, or even digging and delving into that old cupboard and unearthing old childhood treasures and revisiting the delights!
On the not so hot side, guys, I hate to say this but if you are stewing, simmering, suppressing stuff you're discontent about or annoyed about, there could be some funny vibes around this weekend. Venus, Mars and Pluto are connecting.
Some will overdo things socially to escape a certain mood, and that could be dangerous as that's when things inadvertently bubble up to the surface, so think before you allow a situation to escalate not just this weekend but over the coming week, with Wednesday/Thursday culminating issues that won't be ignored, have been a long time coming to a peak, and which demand attention.
With care and effort it can be a week when things really do get fixed, but sometimes it takes a crisis, a storm, a blow up to release all that pent up emotion, and if we can address the problem, rather than the person, there's great potential, seriously, there is, for something more honest and satisfying emerging from an unsettled, perhaps turbulent phase. In the news there's bound to be some mad turbulence. People trying to keep their balance on a skateboard with wobbly wheels is one analogy that springs to mind.
Mars in Cancer opposing Pluto in Capricorn and squaring Uranus in Aries conjures up many images. One is war like and suggests to me a show of strength coming from the USA as part of a "picking themselves up and heading in a new direction" plan. Look out for some stirring stories emerging from Netherlands and New Zealand. Also watch for shockwaves around a well known family, and for secrets emerging through the world of celebrity chefdom.
Monday will be the favourite day of the week for lots of folk, although media secrecy and skeletons in closets are still uppermost, that situation as I have already said, playing out until September. There are some intriguing agendas around, and the timing even of exposes looks intentional as part of a bigger plan.
Friday could be a day when we find new possibiities emerging thanks to what's been uncovered and discovered. Friday is also a day of unusual humanitarian effort, too.
Till next time, thanks for stopping by!

Saturday 30th July 2011 brings a new Moon in dazzle n shine sign Leo, the showbiz maestro. The accent over the next few days is on pleasure and on making the most of life. Using your gifts and talents to the full. Live, love and appreciate all that IS right in your world, is the theme, although some will overdo that philosophy a little!!
Saturday 23rd July 2011..looking ahead once again, and the Leo Sun will want us all to enjoy life more, to dazzle and dance whereever we can! This is often a time when love affairs get very intense, one way or another, too, as Leo is all about love and also about self expression through artistic creativity. Saturday's Taurus Moon added to this new Leo phase is ideal for wining and dining and where weather makes it possible, for lying on planet earth looking up at the stars..in the nicest of ways!
There's a weary phase around midday, but then from around 2pm things perk up!
Sunday shows a few cranky stubborn folk..keep well away from them and try not to be like that yourself, but something may need to be fixed, creating one or too of those Harumphh!! moments!
Monday's mixed, less in favour of dynamic plans in the morning, but thanks to a Gemini Moonphase beginning, livelier later, more so after 6pm (all timings are BST incidentally).
Tuesday's Gemini Moonphase is best utilised form meetings, journeys and calls, for seeing plans through, until around 16:35hrs BST when the momentuum slows!
Wednesday has a very vibrant Sun/Uranus connection which could bring new developments, deals and breakthroughs, as well as some decisive moments where people close doors, preparing to open some fresh ones. As Moon eclipses Mars, we will see a prominent figure (male) bowing out ,as newsmaking. Personally, there may be developments that surprise yet unite.
Thursday 28th sees the Moon arriving in Cancer, the sign of caretaking and of family and nurturing, while love and money planet Venus comes to visit Leo, and communications and task runner planet Mercury graces the service oriented sign of Virgo, so a lot of moving and shifting about, some of it a bit unsettling, yet all may not be quite as it appears, given that the power broking mix of Sun and Pluto is quirky and not conducive to straightforwardness, so what seems to be a fait accomplis or done and dusted, may not be. Someone is going to look like they got away with "murder" but that won't be the case at all. There's a murky aspect around, suggesting fudged facts and smudgy fingerprints..and whatever is making the news here will run for a while.
Mercury opposes Neptune ..three times first on Friday 29th July, again on 8th August and again on September 8th, which is like a paper trail that ends in a big full Moon on 12th September, where facts are alll a lot clearer. The energy of this is one that shows people talking a great talk, but not having the back up. Be wary of deals like that over the next couple of months, too.
Mercury and Neptune can bring nostalgia, sentiment and some memory lapses, too, so be vigilant! News stories around those opposition dates could also bring to light matters of importance to do with children. Social services could be in the news too, with tales of "snooping". Not a time to have tricky secrets, but also a time when judgement isn't at its best . Advice during this triple opposition affecting the time span of approximately six weeks with key points around July 29th, August 8th and September 8th..? Get facts triple checked, know your sources and don't put information "out there" if it's sensitive.
Friday 15th July 2011 That Capricorn full Moon has stirred us all so much! The urge to be rounded and grounded has never been stronger. As this full Moon is the culmination of the July 1st solar eclipse in Cancer, spanning a time sector where the T square formed by Saturn in Libra, Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn , where that full Moon has just formed.. (all cardinal signs of the zodiac, therefore initiating big new happenings).. every working astrologer on the planet knew there would be some serious shake ups going on here. Capricorn is the UK sign, so essentially everything gets churned up, some of it absolutely of necessity, leading to a new era. It is revolutionary energy that's around us at this time, as we astrologers keep mentioning, any chance we get!
On my Facebook page I am able to have discussions and the Full Moon posts have been fascinating. I made a specific prediction there too which has just come to pass. "Moon's moody as she heads through security conscious Capricorn, stirring our need to feel safe and surer of the way forward, swelling full on Friday morning here in the UK, turning tides and shifting weather.This full Moon is sensitive for authority figures, and we'll see radical evidence of people power. Someone (female) who's been making waves will withdraw from public life for a time and start afresh overseas."
