The week 6th – 12th October 2025

The week opens under a Full Moon in Aries on 6 Oct — a flashpoint lunation that heightens emotional urgency and makes public events feel immediate and irreversible. That lunation squares long, slow pressures on institutions (Pluto/Capricorn still pressing systems) and lands while Mercury slides into Scorpio (a transit for digging, leaks and forensic detail). Expect the mood to be confrontational and disclosure-heavy: live footage, verified satellite imagery and activist testimony will dominate headlines and force rapid diplomatic responses rather than slow negotiations. This is already visible in the flotilla story — the Relief flotilla drew international attention and confrontations at sea early this week, and governments will be responding in real time to footage and consular crises.

Astronomically the slow planets are reinforcing zones of stress and infrastructure vulnerability. Uranus in Taurus continues to agitate trade-nodes and port corridors (Taurus being the gauntlet for earth/commodity lines) while Saturn and Pluto’s remnant pressure points keep bureaucracies brittle; that combination makes maritime chokepoints and supply chains unusually sensitive to sudden shocks — Red Sea approaches, Suez logistics and Mediterranean ports will be especially exposed to incidents or interdictions this week. Geo-zenith reading: cities and ports near Taurus meridians and local culminations — think Aden/Bab-el-Mandeb, Suez/Port Said, and key Mediterranean transshipment hubs — are under an astro-stress signature that favours sudden events that ripple into insurance, commodity and refugee flows. The humanitarian picture ties straight into this: WFP/FAO warnings remain dire for the Sahel, Sudan and Horn, and blocked corridors combined with weather and logistical shocks will deepen shortages and displacement during this period.

Politically, the Sun/Moon/Mercury pattern this week pushes visibility and accountability onto leaders: protests, high-profile detentions, and legislative flashpoints in democratic capitals are likely to be front-page items. In the U.S., domestic unrest and anti-ICE actions have already provoked heavy federal responses and National Guard deployments — an Aries Full Moon heightens direct-action energy and the Scorpio Mercury window fuels legal and media investigations that will amplify every incident. In Europe, the same lunation intensifies divisions exposed during public debates about Gaza, migration and energy; expect more symbolic parliamentary moments, urgent summit talk and pressure on the Commission to propose short-term measures (soft humanitarian corridors, temporary tariff/aid adjustments) to manage fallout. Leaders who try to paper over visible evidence will find the pressure increases this week.

Overlaying the human news is a vivid celestial backdrop that offers both danger and a pragmatic window. Comet and meteor activity (bright comets reported this month and Orionid/Draconid peaks later in October) are drawing attention and serving as symbolic pressure points; scientifically they do not cause earthly events, but astrologically and socially these nights are being used to time disclosures and spectacle. The practical takeaways for the 6–12 Oct week: 1) expect more high-visibility incidents at sea and at major ports; 2) expect humanitarian access and famine headlines to harden political responses (short-term pauses, emergency votes, targeted aid corridors) but remain fragile; 3) expect domestic political flashpoints — protests, legal moves and governance crises — to be amplified by fast communications and forensic evidence; 4) use the Mercury-Scorpio window to synchronize verified information releases (NGOs, investigative journalists, satellite forensics) because the week’s lunation will give those releases immediate leverage. For geo-zenith action points: monitor the Red Sea / Suez meridian, Gaza coastal arc, Kyiv-Crimea/Black Sea shipping lanes and the western European energy/port longitudes — those are the places the planetary map is most likely to focus headlines and material impacts.

October 2025

As October unfolds, the world stands at a precipice, balancing on the edge of significant transformation and escalating turmoil. The convergence of celestial events and global developments paints a picture of a month where the forces of change are both challenging and illuminating.

The humanitarian crises in Northern Africa and the Horn of Africa continue to deepen. In Sudan, the city of El Fasher remains under siege, with over 260,000 residents trapped and facing extreme shortages of food and medical supplies. Despite international efforts, access for aid remains severely limited. Concurrently, countries such as Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya are experiencing severe droughts, leading to widespread famine. The FAO and WFP have issued early warnings about escalating food insecurity in these regions. These dire circumstances are compounded by the global shipping industry’s volatility, as reported by UNCTAD, which highlights disruptions due to rising geopolitical tensions and trade policies. The war in Ukraine, heightened Middle East conflicts, and rerouting ships around the Cape of Good Hope due to Red Sea disruptions are contributing to the instability, affecting the delivery of humanitarian aid.

Politically, the United States faces internal and external challenges. President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on October 20 in Washington. Discussions are expected to focus on the AUKUS security pact, particularly the provision of nuclear-powered submarines to Australia amid regional tensions with China. Meanwhile, the European Union grapples with internal divisions and external pressures. The European Political Community will convene on October 2 in Denmark, bringing together leaders from across the continent to discuss pressing issues such as migration, energy security, and economic stability. These political events coincide with significant astrological transits, including Mercury’s entry into Scorpio on October 6, which may intensify communication and uncover hidden truths, and the Full Moon in Aries on the same day, heightening emotions and bringing issues to a head.

In the realm of space and science, October offers moments of awe and wonder. The appearance of Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) symbolizes hope and renewal. Its brightness amidst the darkness serves as a reminder that even in challenging times, there is light to guide us forward. The Orionid meteor shower, peaking on October 20, provides opportunities for reflection and connection with the cosmos. These celestial events encourage us to pause and reflect on our place in the universe, offering moments of clarity and perspective.

Astrologically, October is a month of introspection and transformation. Mercury’s transit through Scorpio encourages deep introspection and transformation, favoring uncovering hidden truths and engaging in meaningful conversations that can lead to personal and collective growth. The Aries Full Moon brings heightened emotions and a desire for independence, urging us to release what no longer serves us and to embrace courage in the face of adversity. Venus’s entry into Libra on October 13 promotes harmony, balance, and cooperation, offering a chance to mend fences and build bridges. Pluto’s direct motion in Aquarius on October 13 signifies a shift towards collective transformation, urging us to adapt and innovate as societal structures and systems undergo significant changes.

In these turbulent times, it’s essential to find balance and hope. Engaging in community efforts, practicing mindfulness and reflection, and staying informed and involved can provide clarity and peace amidst chaos. By embracing these practices, we can navigate the challenges of October with resilience and optimism, fostering a sense of unity and purpose in the face of adversity.

The week 29th September – 5th October

We are still riding the equinox/eclipse aftershocks: the Sun remains in early Libra, the Moon moves from First Quarter into waxing-gibbous (building toward the early-October full moon), and the short-term sky is dominated by disruptive Uranus in Taurus (retrograde), institution-testing Saturn and Jupiter tensions, and an intelligence/disclosure window while Mercury moves active in Virgo near heavy Capricorn contacts. In plain terms: the week is a visibility and testing window — humanitarian and military crises will be exposed more loudly, sudden infra-shocks (ports, supply lines) remain a high risk, and legal/institutional moves will carry unusual weight.

In the Ukraine and Europe. Expect an intense run of military escalation and retaliatory strikes this week, with the immediate risk concentrated on Kyiv, Crimea and Black Sea logistics: large, coordinated missile/drone barrages (as seen at the end of September) will likely continue to be used by Russia to degrade Ukrainian air defences and critical infrastructure, and will provoke temporary airspace closures and NATO readiness measures. Geo-Zenith reading: Mercury–Pluto style exposures (intelligence, satellite forensics, targeted strikes) will make precise attacks and their documentation the week’s defining images; Uranus-Taurus pressure on maritime and port nodes raises the chance of disruptive knock-on effects to regional shipping and energy flows. Prepare for sustained headlines about damage to civilian infrastructure and growing political pressure in European capitals.

Gaza, Israel and the Red Sea arc. Diplomatic theatre at the UN and the equinox’s moral spotlight mean the Gaza humanitarian crisis and cross-border strikes will continue to dominate political oxygen. Expect renewed media pressure, emergency appeals, and possibly more targeted strikes or naval actions that ripple out into the Red Sea/merchant shipping story: Houthi attacks and reprisals against ships remain likely, keeping the southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden under acute commercial stress. Geo-Zenith overlay: Uranus in Taurus activates port and fuel lines; the eclipse/equinox disclosure factor amplifies images from hospitals and convoys, pushing faster diplomatic reactions (recognitions, emergency votes, calls for corridors) but not necessarily immediate relief on the ground

Several small convoys of aid ships are attempting to break the maritime blockade. Naval interceptions are highly likely in the next few days. I fear for the flotilla. Mars is reaching a square to Pluto at the galactic centre—an aggressive configuration that often coincides with military brinkmanship and sudden confrontations at sea. Expect tense stand-offs, live-streamed confrontations, and rapid diplomatic fallout before the first week of October.

The Horn, Sudan and Sahel fragilities. The Horn’s fractures — Ethiopia/Tigray tensions and Eritrean alignments — and Sudan’s simmering ethnic and urban–rural violence will feed fresh displacement and aid-access crises this week. Expect arrests, crackdowns and restricted media reporting in Ethiopia, and worsening civilian tolls and blocked aid convoys in Sudan/Darfur; politically, Sahel states will continue to press anti-institutional narratives (legal ruptures, withdrawals from international courts) that make coordinated humanitarian response harder. Saturn’s institutional test and Uranus’s resource-line shocks combine to make logistics, borders and water/food distribution the immediate pressure points — the week’s planetary map lends more force to rapid, unexpected breaks in supply chains and a surge of verified (and shocking) testimony that will drive diplomatic statements – though action may be delayed.

Realistically: the most probable scenario for 29 Sept–5 Oct is “more visibility, more shocks, more diplomatic theatre.” Expect at least one major, widely shared disclosure (forensic imagery, verified satellite footage or medical documentation) that forces ministers and parliaments to act rhetorically; expect sharp military exchanges in Ukraine to continue and for maritime/infrastructure incidents to spike in Red Sea approaches. That is the harsh reading — but the same pattern gives leverage: Mercury/Pluto disclosure + Jupiter/Saturn institutional pressure equals a window where legal, financial and commercial levers bite hard. Practical hope: coordinated, well-timed forensic releases, immediate pressure on insurers/shipping firms, and targeted sanctions/enforcement aimed at elite revenue channels can produce faster, concrete recalibration from rulers than moral outrage alone. Use the waxing-gibbous/full-moon publicity window to synchronize evidence releases and legal moves; that combination is the clearest path this week from crisis exposure toward short, verifiable pauses and relief corridors.

There is so much coming to a head now, all over the globe, in every possible aspect of human culture – that I can only hope our leaders and institutions can make the right choices and do it fast – though, realistically this is something I doubt will happen – our choice? Be nice, be kind – take care of each other and stay open minded.


The week 22nd – 28th September 2025

Forced balance or good choices?

Firstly I apologise for my timing – but I will continue. The week of 22–28 September 2025 unfolds under the heavy shadow of the 21 September partial lunar eclipse and the 22 September equinox, both of which continue to reverberate through the planetary field. Astronomically, the Sun now sits at 0° Libra, balanced at the celestial equator, while the Moon moves from late Aries into Taurus, grounding the volatility of the eclipse’s final ripples. Jupiter retrograde at 27° Gemini forms a tightening square to Saturn at 27° Pisces, a clash of truth and consequence that presses against global narratives. Uranus holds a stubborn retrograde at 27° Taurus, edging closer to the Pleiades and stirring tectonic, financial, and ecological unrest. Mercury, now direct in Virgo, forms an applying trine to Pluto in Capricorn, sharpening analysis and unearthing the buried logic of crises. This is a sky of correction, where the equinox’s perfect balance exposes the crooked scaffolding of human systems.

Culturally, this alignment speaks of fragile equilibrium amid escalating upheaval. News cycles this week are dominated by worsening famines in East Africa, a grinding war in Eastern Europe, and the slow-motion genocide accusations emerging from conflict zones in the Middle East. The Libra Sun demands diplomacy, but Saturn in Pisces undercuts illusions, forcing recognition of moral failures and the collapse of once-comforting fictions. The Jupiter–Saturn square is the signature of treaties tested, of laws strained to breaking point, and of propaganda meeting the cold geometry of facts. This is a week when rhetoric meets the hard mathematics of survival, and when balance is not compromise but the exact measurement of what remains.

Emotionally, the eclipse continues to pull at the psychic tide. Lunar eclipses are always disclosures, and this one—occurring just hours before the equinox—magnifies the sensation of a collective threshold. Individuals may feel an oscillation between paralysis and decisive clarity, as if personal choices carry the weight of planetary consequence. Uranus near the Pleiades electrifies the nervous system, creating sudden awakenings and flashes of insight that can destabilise old habits. Venus in Leo opposing Neptune in Pisces adds an undertow of longing, a bittersweet recognition of beauty in a world on fire, while Mars in Cancer drives protective instincts, especially around home and kin.

The Geo-Zenith reading therefore frames this week as a hinge in the long cycle of 2025, a moment when celestial balance demands terrestrial reckoning. The equinox invites measured reorientation, yet the eclipse refuses complacency. Jupiter’s retrograde square to Saturn insists on systemic correction, whether in finance, food distribution, or governance. For those attuned to the deeper harmonics, this is not merely another crisis week but a visible cross-section of the planetary story: a sky of symmetrical light exposing the crookedness below, reminding humanity that equilibrium is never static but a discipline continually earned.

The week of 8–14 September 2025

This week opens in the shadow of a total lunar eclipse, a long and emotionally charged Blood Moon that left its mark across much of the world. Eclipses act as turning points, and this one has surfaced deep reservoirs of feeling—grief, longing, unfinished business—and placed them into the collective arena. The coming days are not about gradual adjustment but about sudden closures, reckonings, and visible acts of care or defiance. The eclipse energy insists that what has been hidden can no longer be ignored.

With the Sun still travelling through Virgo, the attention turns to systems, details, and competence. Expect scrutiny of how institutions, governments, and aid networks respond to crises already unfolding—from natural disasters to conflicts that have left populations displaced. Where systems function, relief and order can be restored swiftly; where they fail, the eclipse magnifies the gap, forcing leaders to answer questions they would rather defer. This is a week when logistics and accountability matter more than rhetoric.

On the geopolitical stage, the eclipse sharpens signals. We may see sudden gestures—temporary ceasefires, humanitarian corridors, symbolic treaties—emerging as leaders attempt to ride the emotional current. Equally, some actors may take advantage of distraction to escalate conflicts. Both patterns are consistent with eclipse energy: revelation, disruption, and the attempt to seize narrative control. Nothing settled this week will be final, but the moves made now will carry weight in the weeks ahead as the solar eclipse and equinox approach.

For individuals, the advice is both practical and simple: act where you can make a tangible difference. Donations, direct aid, or local acts of solidarity will cut through more effectively than abstract words. On a personal level, the eclipse’s charge is best handled through ritual, memory work, and communal spaces that acknowledge both loss and resilience. This week is heavy, but it is also fertile ground for repair—private or public, individual or collective.

The astrology of the Lunar eclipse

The total lunar eclipse of 7 September 2025 falls at about 15° Pisces, a mutable water sign that dissolves boundaries and exposes the porousness between fact and imagination. Astronomically this is a deep eclipse, with the Moon fully immersed in Earth’s shadow for over an hour, visible across Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. In astrology, eclipses on this axis tend to signal endings and closures, particularly of emotional, spiritual, or collective narratives that have outlived their function. Pisces colours the event with themes of compassion, sacrifice, and the pull between dream and disillusion.

What sharpens the tone of this eclipse is Saturn’s strong involvement in Pisces alongside it. Saturn insists on accountability and structure, so the otherwise fluid Piscean themes are given a stern, even karmic edge. Loose boundaries and sentimental evasions will not hold; decisions about what to release or where to draw a line may feel final, and the consequences tangible. In practice, this looks like institutions of care, religion, art, and humanitarian work facing calls to take responsibility, while individuals with mutable sign placements between 13° and 17° will be asked to let go of outdated roles and commitments.

Uranus adds another layer by stationing retrograde just the day before. This sudden electric jolt can bring surprises, reversals, or revelations around information and technology, transforming the eclipse from an inner tide into external disruption. It suggests that what dissolves in Pisces may swiftly be exposed in public space, through leaks, shifts in networks, or shocks to systems we assumed were stable. The combination of Saturn’s gravity with Uranus’s shocks makes this eclipse a threshold moment: endings that are not just private but structural, with wider collective reverberations.

For personal and collective navigation, the eclipse marks a point of closure and clarity. It is a moment to acknowledge what has run its course, to take responsibility for boundaries, and to prepare for sudden adjustments. The overarching lesson is that compassion without structure becomes enabling, and structure without compassion becomes brittle. In the weeks and months after, as the dust of Uranus’s reversals settles, the Saturn-Pisces demand will remain: to bring integrity, accountability and clarity into those spaces of imagination and empathy where boundaries have long blurred

The lunar eclipse

On the night of September 7, 2025, Earth’s only satellite, our moon, will glide into alignment with the Sun and our planet, entering a grand total lunar eclipse. As Earth casts its darkest shadow – the umbra – fully across the lunar surface, the full September Moon will take on a haunting, coppery-red glow, the phenomenon is commonly known as a “Blood Moon.” Unlike a solar eclipse that flashes by in minutes, this lunar event will unfold with dignified duration and atmospheric depth, inviting quiet contemplation rather than breathless exclamation.

The eclipse will commence with the penumbral phase as Earth’s faint outer shadow begins to dim the Moon, starting around 15:28 UTC. Gradually moving deeper, the Moon enters partial eclipse a little before 16:27 UTC, until at roughly 17:30 UTC, totality begins. At this moment, the Moon will be fully immersed in Earth’s umbra and its glowing face transformed by sunlight filtered through our atmosphere. This total phase will reach its apex at approximately 18:11 UTC and will linger for about eighty-three minutes, finally ending near 18:52 UTC, as the Moon emerges and begins the reverse shadow dance—partial eclipse until about 19:56 UTC and penumbral retreat completed by 20:55 UTC.

This eclipse is striking not only for its beauty but also for its astronomical rhythm. It belongs to the venerable Saros series 128, being the 41st of seventy-one eclipses, each spaced by approximately 18 years. It occurs when the full Moon lies near the ascending node of its orbit, slightly southward, with a gamma value of about –0.275, denoting the Moon passing somewhat south of the central line of Earth’s shadow. Its umbral magnitude, roughly 1.36, indicates that the Moon delves well into the shadow’s core.

In practical terms, this eclipse will be observed fully across vast expanses of our planet. Viewers in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia will witness the entire spectacle, while those in the Americas will unfortunately miss it altogether – this is an Eclipse of the Eastern Hemisphere. Astronomical visibility is generous: around 85 percent of the global population will see at least part of the total phase, with roughly 76 percent able to catch the entirety of totality, and about 60 percent afforded the full run of every phase from beginning to end.

For observers, the sight will be marvelously safe and accessible – no special eyewear is needed, unlike solar eclipses. With clear Eastern horizons, one might witness the waning silver face of the Moon darken gently and then deepen into burnished red as if glowing from within, before slowly emerging again into ordinary twilight.

And as an astronomical encore, this cosmic choreography is framed by an eclipse season: two weeks later, on September 21, 2025, Earth will experience a partial solar eclipse, neatly bookending the lunar event

Solar flares – part two

The human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic fluctuations, particularly in the 0.5–40 Hz range of natural brainwave activity (delta through gamma). Piezoelectric-like calcite microcrystals in the pineal gland transduce environmental electromagnetic signals into electrical or chemical responses, influencing circadian rhythms, hormone production, and thus also cognitive or emotional states. While the effects are subtle, they are measurable under controlled conditions and explain some behavioural or mood changes during geomagnetic disturbances.

Researchers note that periods of heightened solar activity correlate with shifts in collective energy, decision-making, and societal tension. Astrologers similarly interpret strong solar events as times of increased emotional volatility and sensitivity, both individually and collectively. Individual responses vary, but global geomagnetic shifts appear to align with periods of systemic stress, unusual weather patterns, or heightened awareness.

Astronomers, space agencies, and observatories monitoring the Sun emphasise that solar events interact with Earth’s magnetic field, affecting satellite operations, communications, and navigation systems. When combined with ongoing seismic, volcanic, and extreme weather activity, there is a complex network of environmental signals to which humans are subtly attuned, both physiologically and behaviourally. As we are also electromagnetic beings, having an, aura or electromagnetic field.

All solar activity produces measurable geomagnetic effects that influence brainwave patterns, pineal gland activity, and human emotional states. Astrological and scientific observations converge on the conclusion that these periods of heightened solar activity are associated with heightened sensitivity and shifts in collective behaviour. So, there is change happening now during these extreme solar conditions. We can all feel it, we can see it, we know – and soon we will have the eclipse season, which will truly be noticeable events – both inner and outer.

The week 18th – 24th August 2024

A crazy week, again.

Expect geopolitical friction to flare in places that have been simmering like a pot on low heat for far too long, and don’t be surprised if the natural world decides to remind humanity that it – unlike our fragile egos -does not negotiate. Seismic activity flares, Fires, floods, heatwaves, and freak storms will appear in surprising locations, pushing infrastructures and governments past their usual coping mechanisms. This, on top of the already high level of natural phenomena pushing emergency services to the brink.
Meanwhile, social tensions bubble beneath the surface: misinformation, discontent, and mismanagement could clash in spectacularly messy ways, as populations no longer accept the given as truth and look for themselves.
We will all be reminded that chaos is the default state, and order is a temporary illusion.

Financial markets will wobble as energy and food supply concerns collide with political brinkmanship. Populations in crisis zones could see unexpected movements – migration pressures, protests, or mass mobilisations. There is nowhere left to go, so these problems, will spill over to other areas. Global travel may encounter more disruptions, and supply chains are buckle under the strain, no matter how many spreadsheets or press releases managers produce – the work will not go smoothly or as expected.

Expect technological glitches everywhere, smoothly working systems may stutter for no discernible reason  dangerous glitches or failings cause great concern, or otherwise betray confidence, highlighting how dependent humanity is on systems that were never designed for real unpredictability. Please take care.

Time to finally stop acting surprised. We need to work together and adopt new approaches NOW.

There is hope. Despite the increasing chaos and uncertainty, this week asks the planet and us – its inhabitants – to pause, observe, and act deliberately. The practical step? Focus on one meaningful, stabilising action at a time. Put out the worst fire, see to better water management, look to energy conservation, be mindful of the rate of consumption, and deal with conflict de-escalation, these tasks are not glamorous, but they are effective. We have to do what we can where we are this week.

Local initiatives can ripple outward. Communities that state clearly and honestly what is happening will work. Be prepared to share resources, and collaborate creatively. We will feel the difference immediately. We have to learn to work together from the ground up. It’s a cosmic test in patience, ingenuity, and empathy: can humans operate as a collective intelligence rather than a collection of egos? We will find out this week.

On a psychological and spiritual level, Earth is letting us know who is really in control, she is.   So, stop pretending control exists. Begin noticing what you can change.

We are being tasked to be spiritually mature in all we do. Meditate on simplicity, reconnect with natural cycles, and pay attention to the small acts that accumulate into resilience.

Humanity may not have invented a manual for survival under chaos yet, but practical kindness, adaptability, and honest assessment of risks are surprisingly effective tools. This is not the time for heroic gestures or grandstanding: it’s about doing what works, even if it’s dirty, boring and slow.

This week: brace for turbulence, expect the unexpected, and accept that discomfort is an honest teacher. Prioritise the tangible over the theoretical, act locally while thinking globally, and remember that peace – real, enduring peace – requires both courage and patience. We need to grow up and help each other no matter where we are or what is happening.

Earth will continue to spin regardless of human panic. Your job is to act wisely within your sphere, because small, consistent efforts now will echo far beyond the immediate week. We are growing something new, something that goes beyond our current cultures and states and politics, we have to.

You can grumble about the heat, the storms, the politics, the chaos – and you will – but roll your sleeves up and get on with the practical while grumbling, the universe has no obligation to pause for you.

The sextiles rock!

Today, 15 August 2025, the skies have arranged themselves into a set of sextiles so clean and well-cut you could use them to slice through the wet papier-mâché thinking that currently passes for global leadership. This isn’t one of those vague, sentimental alignments where you “just follow your heart” and hope for the best; these are precision-engineered opportunities. The geometry is crisp, the geo-zenith lines almost surgical, and the entire pattern screams “if you’re going to do something big, do it now, and do it properly.” From London to Lagos, Delhi to Detroit, the planetary lines are whispering the same message: stop dithering, build something worth keeping, and for heaven’s sake, say what you mean.

At the heart of the day is Mercury in Leo sextile Mars in Libra, a combination that turns words into weapons—charming weapons, perhaps, but weapons nonetheless. The geo-zenith for this one is particularly sharp over the Middle East and Central Europe, where diplomacy is already tap-dancing on the edge of sabres. For the rest of us, it’s perfect for declarations that are both creative and impossible to ignore. Layer onto that the Saturn–Uranus sextile stretching across Aries and Gemini: the architectural blueprint for revolution, but without the sloppy idealism. This is the kind of energy you’d want if you were, say, dismantling an obsolete institution and replacing it with something that might actually work before the ice caps finish their slow suicide.

Saturn’s other flirtation, with Pluto, adds the heavy machinery. Pluto is the deep miner, Saturn the construction foreman, and together they’re giving you the green light to tear down the rot and rebuild the bones. The geo-zenith emphasis over the Americas hints that economic and political power games are shifting, and not quietly. Uranus sextile Neptune rounds out the picture with a vision you can actually manifest. It’s the rare “dream plus blueprint” combination, and its zenith through the Pacific suggests the next big leap in tech or environmental policy could come from places currently underestimated. Think less “Silicon Valley” and more “unexpected island nation that just rewrote the rules.”

In real-time terms, these sextiles are a counterpoint to the current parade of crises—wildfires fanned by political hot air, trade disputes dressed up as moral crusades, and a news cycle that somehow manages to be both hysterical and bored. What these aspects offer is focus. They are not the cosmic equivalent of a spa day; they are the kind of conditions that let you negotiate peace treaties, launch major ventures, and pull off strategic coups while everyone else is still refreshing their feeds. This is not the day to quietly tidy your inbox.

If you want to be great under this sky, stop looking for the “right moment” and start acting as if the moment you’ve been waiting for just walked in the door wearing a sign with your name on it. Build with intention, speak with precision, and innovate with the kind of discipline that turns a clever idea into a lasting legacy. The geometry overhead will meet you halfway, but you have to move. Whether you’re launching a new project, a campaign, or a personal transformation, today’s sky isn’t just favourable—it’s an accomplice. Use it.

The void moon

The moon the moon
Though the moon has been right out there – all void of course
the Moon is having a party with all the other planets while the sun is out on it’s own

So everything is a communication, a chat
an aspect
a conjunction
pan psychic party it is – Specially the Venus- Jupiter party –
We can have a bit of fun with that -while we watch the chaos around us.
Launch your ships by lunchtime and we can all sail across the milky way
A lucky aspect

Can’t stop thinking about what the stars are up to
Can’t stop thinking about what all the planets are doing – as they sail across the night sky

Look now pre-dawn
The beautiful view before sunup of Venus and Jupiter – close as they are to Sirius
The star of ancient Egypt, the Nile flood, water, agriculture, the fall of kings and emperors.
Love the astrology, love the astronomy, love the mythology –
I love the night sky, the moon, the milky way, the twinkling stars, the meteors as the his across the night
there and there – look –
and the dawn – as stars make way for the colours of the sky and clouds and
Our beautiful sun

Good morning – enjoy the day everyone!

The line up

The pre – dawn sky today is putting on one of its rare processions, I can see Venus and Jupiter in the east as it’s clear today.  Mercury retrogrades at 4° Leo as the Sun shines at 17° Leo. Hovering in Cancer are Venus at 11° and Jupiter near 13°, Saturn and Neptune retrograde at 1°Aries, Uranus sits stubbornly in Taurus, and Pluto is as we know, in Aquarius at 2° – steady, buried transformation at work. Astronomically, it’s a graceful arc of light and shadow stretching across the heavens. Astrologically, it’s a cosmic mirror held up to show us our uneasy reflection. We are at the beginnings of the end of chaos.

Right now the sky is taut like a stretched cable. At local zeniths, the heavyweight players are glaring down: Mars riding high over eastern Ukraine, its angular dominance feeding both military escalation and political brinkmanship. Saturn, stern and unyielding, is pressing from above over parts of East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, correlating with the deepening famine reports and resource conflicts there, from Sudan to Gaza. Neptune looms at zenith over the central Pacific, muddling diplomatic waters and fuelling opaque manoeuvres in maritime disputes.

The tighter the Sun – Venus conjunction in Leo becomes, the more it’s shining a light on the world power theatre – which is becoming increasingly unreal – celebrity distraction meets with authoritarian pageantry – while Pluto’s high point over the western US is digging up more financial rot beneath the already creaking economic scaffolding. Jupiter in Gemini, angular over parts of Central Asia, should be a voice of optimism, but in this current square to Saturn it’s like a motivational speaker at a bankruptcy hearing – loud, cheerful, and slightly delusional. It feels all wrong.

It’s grim, yes. But there’s an outlet forming: Uranus in Taurus is breaking the stalemate, pressing at zenith over parts of South America and southern Africa – regions where grassroots movements are forcing genuine reform and land-use innovation. It’s slow, but it’s real. Mercury, also in Leo, is giving airspace to sharp tongues and quick retorts – this is the week to speak up, but with precision, not volume. Time to say exactly what you think – here come the truth tellers. I hope they will be heard above the general din.


Don’t spiral into depression with the newsfeed. The astrology says you’ll burn out fast if you chase every crisis. We can only handle so much, and we want to be able to do something, we want to feel worth something. Pick one thing you can do, you know what you are good at, and show how you want to care – volunteer, donate, teach, write, plant, repair – add your vote, march, dare to protest. It will all count – and actually do it. The personal becomes the planetary when it’s multiplied. Small acts are the only reason humanity has made it this far. A thousand small acts are also how we’ll claw our way out of this mess.

By the end of August, Mercury’s move into Virgo with Jupiter easing the Saturn clampdown will let the air out of the current ‘crisis-inflation.’ This won’t lead us to instant utopia, but we’ll be able to take a proper breath without choking on the headlines.
Trust me, it get’s better – by the eclipse we will see our way through.

Dwarf planets

The ever expanding list of dwarf planets are clustered in four major zones – the kuiper belt, the scattered disk, the Sedna belt and the asteroid belt – gone are the days when the asteroid belt was a big deal in Sci-Fi. Today we can track these celestial bodies and see how their mythological characteristics influence the earth together with the planets. This is a new and fascinating area of astronomical and astrological research. Let’s take a look at some of the data we have. Not all of them have been named, many carry numbers – these of course are not used in astrology as the name gives the resonance we need for interpretation.

1. The Pluto Zone – Inner Kuiper Belt and Plutinos

  • Orbital range: ~30–50 AU from the Sun
  • Defining feature: Locked in a 2:3 orbital resonance with Neptune, like Pluto itself.
  • Key named bodies: Pluto, Orcus, Ixion, Huya, Rhadamanthus, Typhon, Thereus.
  • Role: Shadow processors, karmic underworld archetypes, exposing hidden power structures.

2. The Scattered Disc (Detached or High-Eccentricity Trans-Neptunian Objects)

  • Orbital range: ~30–100+ AU, highly eccentric, often with extreme inclinations.
  • Defining feature: Perturbed by Neptune’s past gravitational interactions; not resonant but still influenced by giant planets.
  • Key named bodies: Eris, Gonggong, Quaoar, Varuna, Salacia, Chaos, Ammonite (newly named).
  • Role: Outer trauma codex, chaotic rebalancing forces, creators and truth-bringers, restoring cosmic order.

3. The Sedna Belt – Detached or Inner Oort Cloud Objects

  • Orbital range: Hundreds to thousands of AU, well beyond Neptune’s influence.
  • Defining feature: Ultra-long orbital periods (thousands of years), possibly shaped by an unknown massive planet or galactic tides.
  • Key named bodies: Sedna, Leleākūhonua, 2012 VP113 (“Biden”), 2004 VN112.
  • Role: Galactic messengers, threshold guardians, awakening forgotten epochs of deep time and ancestral trauma.

4. The Asteroid Belt – Between Mars and Jupiter

  • Orbital range: 2–3.5 AU from the Sun.
  • Defining feature: Inner solar system remnants, many mythic goddess names, some promoted to dwarf planet status (e.g., Ceres).
  • Key named bodies: Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, Juno, Hekate, Isis, Lilith (asteroid form).
  • Role: Feminine principle, sacred law, devotion, soul contracts, balance of human and divine order.

We are still learning the significance of these bodies – but here is a ‘snapshot’ of how they are influencing us today. This snapshot for late July 2025 shows strong concentrations near the southern cone of South America, East Africa, and parts of the Middle East, many dwarf planets and archetypal bodies are currently influencing these geo-zenith points. Many are clustered around Sagittarius-Capricorn and Aries-Pisces zodiac sectors, highlighting themes of transformation, ancestral reckoning, and deep trauma transmutation globally. Of course we still see Pluto as a planet – and the most well known dwarf planets are Sedna, Chiron, Ceres and Eris.
