Full Moon, 9 August 2025
Aquarius
Welcome to The Apocalypse. I am your host and this is the Marama (Moon) Report for the full moon in Aquarius on the 9th of August 2025. Full moons represent endings, culminations and things coming to fruition. Full moon energy lasts for approximately two weeks (until the following new moon). Full moons are the best time to cleanse tarot cards and crystals in the moonlight, to empower them (I leave mine out overnight on a windowsill).
Here, we have a full moon in Aquarius, at a Cancer degree, tightly conjunct Ceres retrograde (at a Gemini degree). This configuration with the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Aquarius, is tightly square Lilith, Vesta and Juno in Scorpio, forming a gnarly little t-square in fixed signs (scary!). To add to that, Jupiter (conjunct Venus) in Cancer is tightly trining Lilith and Vesta. To add to that, we are in the middle of the great Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries, which is making a kite formation with Mars, Pluto and Uranus (the ruler of this full moon). What on Earth is going on here? Let’s unpack this cheeky little number.
A full moon is about closing things out. We should generally aim to bring any problems and/or projects that we are dealing with, to a closure or to fruition. Aquarius is quite a radical sign. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet of all things strange and/or shocking, including upsets and disturbances. With the Earth/Papatuanuku also in Aquarius, this could be quite a rocky time (earthquakes perhaps). At a Cancer degree, this could also be quite a watery, emotional time (tsunami perhaps). The Sun is in Leo so emotions may be projected towards arrogant people or people in power (Leo). The Sun is very comfortable in Leo (possibly) a bit too comfortable). The Sun is in a wide conjunction with the Vertex and the asteroid Cupido. The Vertex is a mathematical point that represents the place where we feel the most comfortable (in our personal charts). Cupido tells people what they want to hear (Cupido really is that simple). A prominent Cupido in a personal chart generally represents people-pleasers, however, this gives me the impression that the power brokers are quite comfortable with themselves and their positions, during this full moon.
Eros/Cupid and Psyche
Let’s talk about this t-square in fixed signs — it is a very tightly packed t-square. Lilith, Vesta and Juno have been traversing Scorpio together for a while now. The weird thing is that they all represents different aspects of femininity. Dark Moon Lilith (another mathematical point) represents raw feminine sexuality and the persecution of women (I find it interesting that those two aspects are correlated together). Vesta (an asteroid) represents youth and innocence, while Juno (another asteroid) represents the long-suffering wife. So, here we have the ‘mother/whore dichotomy’ or the ‘wife/mistress dichotomy’ going on again. The basic theme of these dichotomies is that women are basically fucked if they do and fucked if they don’t, and that women often find themselves in a double or even a triple bind, simply because of their gender (particularly when it comes to sex and/or intimacy) - if the hat fits, wear it.
Vesta, Juno and Lilith also fits the ‘maiden, mother, crone’ goddess (in that order), perfectly. She is three women but she really represents one woman at different stages of her life. However, in Scorpio, this is not a pretty picture that they are painting. Scorpio represents animosity, rage, jealousy and revenge (just saying). They are squaring the Sun in Leo which speaks of toxic masculinity (if the hat fits). They are also squaring Ceres retrograde (conjunct the full moon) in Aquarius. This speaks of environmental issues (Ceres retrograde) and the degradation of humanity (Aquarius). Is the Fukushima power plant still intact after those devastating earthquakes in Japan? As with all t-squares, the only way through the maelstrom is to focus our energy on the missing corner of the t-square, which is in Taurus. Unfortunately, this isn’t an exact t-square so the degree interpretation isn’t relevant here.
Taurus is all about family and stability — the wife might win this battle (just saying). Taurus can also be a very stubborn sign. To me, this suggests holding onto your family, no matter what. To make the most of Taurus, we need to bless ourselves, eat well and look after our bodies. Taurus loves to be comfortable and healthy. Taurus is very sensual (just saying). Taurus is ruled by opulent and luxurious Venus who happens to be in Cancer (tightly conjunct an exalted Jupiter), which could not be a happier combination. Venus represents the wife, while Jupiter represents the husband. They are both at home, with Jupiter’s wonderful blessing in Cancer. Jupiter is at an Aries degree so he is protecting the home and the family. Venus is at a Capricorn degree, so she is maintaining order within the home and family. This appears to be the perfect traditional, conservative marriage. However, that is tightly trining some potentially very jealous and unhappy women (Lilith etc). If there is a triangle situation going on, my money is on the wife or the long-term partner (mothers might actually win this round for once). Ideally, there should be solidarity amongst women, particularly when it comes to errant men, but there invariably isn’t (and some women will slit your throat just to win a competition so watch out). Obviously, these are all archetypes and can relate just as well if you flip genders around (as always with astrology, if the hat fits …).
Let’s talk about the very powerful kite formation (another totally transformational aspect). A kite is basically a grand trine with an opposition through the middle, which creates two additional sextiles (see below). A kite is essentially an activated grand trine. A grand trine (which looks like a triangle), is a very powerful aspect. It essentially denotes permanence or infinity, for better or worse. If a grand trine is well-aspected with benevolent planets in your chart, this will be very beneficial to you. However, if you find yourself in a romantic love triangle with three people forming a grand trine in their combined charts (which isn’t hard to do with so many planets, asteroids and points available), you can find yourself in a very sticky situation indeed (ouch!). I know this from personal experience — they can go on for eternity and can be extremely difficult to break out of.
Kite formation
This is a very tightly formed kite, with everything at either 1º or 2º (Pluto had to be the odd one out, didn’t he). All of these planets are malevolents, so what is going on here? Let’s start with the grand trine between Mars in Libra, Uranus in Gemini and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius. Pluto retrograde in Aquarius = fear of the unknown. Uranus in Gemini = active communication. Mars in Libra is debilitated (or in fall, I forget which — same thing basically), and is about anger or passion in relationships (Libra). Mars could also be driven towards forming relationships. To me, this looks like procrastination (Libra is famous for procrastinating). However, Mars is being activated by Saturn conjunct Neptune in Aries (both are retrograde). Neptune retrograde makes things clear, while Saturn retrograde tends to expand things. What is going on here? To me, this looks like Libra’s famous potential to procrastinate beyond the point of no return is being activated by the fear of losing everything. Procrastinators may have their hands forced during this full moon (just saying).
Kite no.2
But wait there’s more — there’s another kite formation. This time, Pluto rx (i.e. fear of the unknown) is being activated by Mercury rx in Leo, which could be about someone not talking, or something to do with the past. Leo generally activates ego issues. Mars in Libra is concerned about relationships, while Uranus in Gemini represents a buzz or hype about something (Gemini represents social media so there could be something going on there). Anybody with planets or points in early degrees (like myself) in any signs will be affected by these kite formations. Take note!
This is a tricky full moon (not gonna lie). To get through this, I suggest sticking with your whanau and finding stability, whatever that means to you.
Sabian Symbol
A guard dog
This symbol is about protecting one’s people or boundaries, i.e. a watchdog standing guard. This can be a tiring responsibility, but one that has you feeling that you belong and that you contribute to the safety and wellbeing of your loved ones, or perhaps those you work for. If not handled well, you may feel unsafe at times, needing to be alert to signs of trouble. This can be a good thing, but it can lead to paranoid behaviour where you can’t relax. Enlisting the support of trusted and loyal supporters may help, but you probably also need some self-assurance. Watch out for false feelings or intrusion or betrayal. Guardianship. Things that protect. Being alert to invasion or trouble. Learning to relax. Locks. Alarms and security systems. Dogs.
The Collective of Pixies (reversed) and Geo the Slow (reversed)
I love these tarot cards by Brian Froud (one of the creators of the Dark Crystal movie). The Pixies are all about being a collective, and working for the benefit of the tribe. However, when they are reversed, they are about operating as a lone unit. Sometimes, this is necessary even though you may have strong bonds with your people. The Pixies reversed are often rebelling, so there may also be some conflict going on. Geo is about taking things slowly. However, when he is reversed, he speeds up. Things may be getting hectic (just saying). This could be a time to relax and take it easy instead of being busy (this is retrograde season after all). If things start to get out of control, don’t go along with it (my advice).
31. Influence
Mutual resonation is a powerful force. All beings are drawn together by their innate nature. At this time, you may be deeply touched by others and you may also touch others deeply. This is a good time to see the innate tendencies of all parties concerned. Consistency is important as it separates courtship from mere seduction.
Line 4:
Love and affection are growing deeply. Cease any manipulative tendencies and you will naturally know how to influence those dear to you.
39. Obstruction
Another name for this hexagram is Diverging Interests. Some level of estrangement is indicated. Opposing outlooks are emphasised and must be realised. Contradictions cannot be overcome by force. Creative forces cannot be freely expressed at this time and should be modified to avoid threatening others. Accusations and judgments should be put aside. Your objective should be to prevent personal differences from drifting into alienation or enmity. Remember that the measure of your status is the quality of your competition.
Watch out for the other woman (just saying).
10 August
Saturn rx conjunct Neptune rx in Aries, sextile Uranus in Gemini and opposite Mars in Libra, at 1º
This is a very masculine transit because all the planets involved are masculine (just saying). This transit is a continuation from the full moon (yesterday). It is also an extension of the great Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries. Both Saturn and Neptune are retrograde here, so they are both inward facing. To me, this speaks of inner clarity about an issue that we are passionate about or that makes us angry (Aries). Mars in Libra is directly opposite this aspect, so men in particular might be experiencing a revelation about relationships. Mars might be driven towards forming a relationship or he might be working towards establishing harmony instead of disorder. Uranus in Gemini is adding dialogue to the equation. Perhaps, the lines of communication have been down for a while, and an unexpected (Uranus) meeting (Gemini) might take place. At an Aries degree, taking action on something may be necessary. Take note of this transit today, particularly if you have anything at 1º in your charts (like me).
10-16 August
Saturn rx conjunct Neptune rx, sextile Uranus in Gemini, at 1º
This is a continuation of the previous transit, but Mars has moved on. Mars is no longer the driving factor, and Uranus is now causing worries or panic of some kind. Uranus could also be causing an outburst (as he often does, particularly in Gemini). This is a reasonably long anger-inducing transit. If you can avoid conflict at this time, I advise it, but if this transit is hitting you directly (like myself), the only way through that I can see is to just keep telling the truth (Neptune retrograde).
11 August
Mercury goes direct in Leo, at 4º
When Mercury goes direct, things become clearer. We have hopefully resolved our retrograde lessons and are ready to move forward. However, Mercury is still in shadow period until the 25th of August — shadow period is when a planet travels over the same terrain that they just retrograded back through (if that makes sense). In Leo, Mercury is focused on issues of self-worth. At a Cancer degree, we may be working on issues of housing or homelessness. We may also be working on ‘mother’ issues, either with our own mother or with our children. Either way, we should be in a better position than a few weeks ago, when things might have looked kinda bleak. A Cancer degree shows us that strong emotions involved — Cancer can either be an emotional wreck or the loving, caring type. With astrology, it is up to us to channel the correct energy to dispel negative potentials.
Sun in Leo inconjunct the True Node in Pisces, at 18º
This is Leo season, so people are generally feeling good or at least trying to project that they are feeling good. An inconjunct means that something isn’t feeling right, or that something needs to change. This aspect is saying that something from our past or to do with our past (because the Sun is also semi-sextile the True South Node) needs to shift or adjust (inconjunct) to get us on the right path towards our highest destiny (the True North Node). At a Virgo degree, we will probably need to work on something. At 18º, this may be a gnarly, ugly little long-term issue that needs quite a bit of work to get it moving, even though this transit only lasts for one day.
12 August
Sun in Leo inconjunct the North Node in Pisces, 19º
This is the same transit as above but it involves the North Node instead of the True North Node, and it is at a much happier degree. Something needs to shift that involves our past (South Node, which is always directly opposite the North Node) to get us on the right path. This transit may be about relationships or it may be about working towards optimum outcomes for us (Libra).
13 August
Venus conjunct Jupiter in Cancer, at 14º
This is a very harmonious and benevolent little transit indeed. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer where he is the head of the household. A Taurus degree is about family and stability. Alternatively, Taurus can be about our value system or our financial situation. Jupiter is the husband in a woman’s chart and Venus is the wife in a man’s chart (the Moon can also be a man’s wife). Venus adds her loving touch to Jupiter’s strong benevolence. This is the perfect day to get married, particularly if you have anything at 14º in your charts (it would be best to get that double checked by an astrologer though — just in case).
14 August
Mercury in Leo sextile Mars in Libra, at 4º
This is quite a hot and steamy little number. Mercury in Leo can be quite hands-on and luxuriously sensual darling. Mars in Libra can be very gentle and loving (and a bit sexually frustrated — just saying). At a Cancer degree, this is a good day to stay at home or to be authentic with your lover, which may require us to acknowledge our vulnerability when it comes to our feelings.
Venus in Cancer trine Lilith in Scorpio, at 15º
This could be a healing transit if we allow it. At a Gemini degree, we may need to talk about something. Lilith in Scorpio is about deeply buried sexual issues (in a nutshell). Venus in Cancer can be extremely vulnerable. This is a day to be gentle on ourselves and our partners.
15-16 August
Mercury in Leo sextile Mars in Libra, at 5º
Mercury and Mars are now moving in lockstep with each other. They are now operating at a Leo degree. Leo degrees usually denote happy times. So, I’m going to suggest that these two days are a continuation of what we worked on yesterday (on the 14th), and that this is a good time to spend with our significant others (in bed — I think you get what I mean). If that does not apply, try working on whatever gives you joy (boring!).
17-18 August
Mercury in Leo sextile Mars in Libra, at 6º
Mercury and Mars are having quite the steamy love affair, but here, they are at a Virgo degree. Virgo generally denotes that work is required. Otherwise, Virgo can get irritable and critical. Perhaps, we need to work on our relationships (or whatever it is that we are working on), or perhaps, we need to finish the job properly (just saying).
17 August - 20 September
Uranus in Gemini sextile Neptune rx in Aries, at 1º
Something is being made very clear here (Neptune retrograde), and the point is being driven home (Aries degree). Uranus in Gemini may be a radical attempt to get the point across (just saying). It might pay to listen up over these few days.
17 August
Jupiter in Cancer trine Lilith in Scorpio, at 15º
This could be a very healthy, healing conversation (Gemini degree). Jupiter’s benevolence shines brightly in Cancer and this is in harmony with a very tormented or sexually frustrated Lilith. Lilith in Scorpio represents raw female sexuality. Btw, women are far more sexual and sexually complex than men (truth), however, women are generally more socially controlled than men because they need to protect their biology (and their modesty). Women generally need a good man (Jupiter in Cancer) to give them permission (and the safety) to be little sexual deviates (there I said it — don’t shoot the messenger). Flip genders around if that applies.
19 August
Mercury in Leo sextile Mars in Libra, at 7º
Bloody Mercury and Mars again. Now they are at a very harmonious Libra degree. Now that they have worked out their issues, they might even be ready to form a relationship. This is a very loving, gentle and affectionate transit, if we allow the energies to flow today. If you are not in a relationship, take it that this is time to work on yourself in preparation for a humdinger to come along.
20 August
Mercury in Leo sextile Mars in Libra, at 8º
Bloody Mercury and Mars again! After Libra comes Scorpio — problems in relationships generally arise after they have formed. The zodiac is like breathing — each in-breath is followed by an out-breath. We may need to work on some deep psychological issues, or some psycho-sexual issues (Scorpio). We may just need to fuck some issues out with our significant other. If there has been any infidelity or treachery in the past, these issues might come up today for healing or just to be exposed to the light. Nothing is ever hidden (just saying).
21 August - 15 September
Uranus in Gemini trine Pluto rx in Aquarius, and sextile Neptune rx in Aries, at 1º
This is a long transit that lasts for over 3 weeks. At an Aries degree, this is an active little transit. With a trine and two sextiles, this is also a fluid little transit, which means that things will tend to move very quickly during this time (warning!). Pluto is retrograde so we might be experiencing some fear or anxiety. Alternatively, we are dealing with those psycho-sexual issues again. Neptune is also retrograde so we might need to make ourselves clear. Uranus is direct and vocal in Gemini, which shows that we might really need to clarify something that is causing us tension. We have three weeks to work on whatever is bothering us here, so we should use this time wisely. Talking about what is going on for us is likely to clear the air but it may take us a while to formulate in our minds exactly what it is that is bothering us. Uranus goes retrograde on the 6th of September (in the middle of this transit), which will change things somewhat. When Uranus goes retrograde, he tends to stabilise and detach, so expect things to be much smoother after this time.
22-26 August
Jupiter in Cancer trine Lilith in Scorpio, at 16º
Both Jupiter and Lilith have progressed by one degree since their last trine (at 15º). They are now working on emotional issues (Cancer degree). They might also be working at home (Cancer degree). This is a good chance to heal our pain, particularly if you feel sexually persecuted (Lilith in Scorpio). Jupiter in Cancer is very loving (he generally represents a man). If Jupiter has not shown up in your life, that is telling that you need to be loving towards yourself — he may turn up once you get that right. Let’s hope so.
The next new moon is in Virgo, on the 23rd of August.

New Moon, 25 July 2025
Leo
Welcome to The Apocalypse. I am your host, and this is the Marama (Moon) Report for the new moon in Aries, on the 25th of July 2025. New moons represent new beginnings and new moon energy lasts for approximately two weeks (until the following full moon). New moons are the best time to do affirmations and to set intentions for the future.
This is a new moon in Leo (at a Taurus degree), opposite Pluto retrograde in Aquarius (exactly). So, what is going on here? New moons are about new beginnings. 2º is the most powerful degree in the zodiac. It is the degree of long-term legacies and institutions. For example, it is the degree of kings and queens whose reign lasts well beyond their lifetimes. Queen Victoria (whose Sun was at 2º of Gemini), is a good example because colonisation under her rule, still exists today. Leo is ruled by the Sun and the Sun is in Leo (where he is domicile) so this is a very Leo new moon. Leo is about what makes us happy, including our children, but Leo also represents royalty — there’s those kings and queens again (what is going on here?).
Pluto retrograde is at 2º of Aquarius, and he is opposing the new moon conjunct the Earth/Papatuanuku. Another name for our Earth is the Urantian Kingdom (I don’t recommend reading the Urantia Book but I believe that Urantia means ‘little Uranus’). This new moon brings us hopeful possibilities, however, that is being opposed by fear of the unknown (Pluto rx in Aquarius). Because Pluto is conjunct Urantia, we may be experiencing some fear during this benevolent new moon. However, that is only natural when you take bold steps (Leo) into unfamiliar territory.
Neptune retrograde is also at 2º (of Aries), which is trining the new moon (exactly) and sextiling Pluto (exactly). This is a very active and powerful aspect, particularly at 2º. Neptune retrograde tends to make things abundantly clear (often painfully so), therefore Neptune’s clarity is activating a powerful new beginning (new moon). Pluto is also reminding us of what we must not bring with us into the new world. The new beginning that this new moon promises is far more powerful than what we are afraid of. Therefore, we need to be aware of the darkness from our past that wants to replicate into our future, but our fear of the unknown should not prevent us from celebrating the new Earth.
Saturn retrograde is conjunct Neptune by one degree (at an Aries degree). Because Saturn is retrograde, he is expanding Neptune’s clarity. This is the new beginning that we have all been waiting for, however, that does not mean that the journey is over — there are a few more difficult astrological aspects that we need to traverse before we can leave the long-predicted ‘seven years of tribulations’ behind us.
Uranus is also in the mix at 0º of Gemini. He is sextiling the new moon (by two degrees), and Saturn and Neptune (by 1 and 2 degrees respectively). 0º represents the embodiment of the sign it is in. Uranus in Gemini (at 0º) represents a buzz or a hype about something — because it is in Gemini, it could be on social media. Uranus is direct so expect quite a bit of activity. Uranus is also trining Pluto retrograde by 2 degrees, so there might be quite a buzz about what we are afraid of or worrying about. I see this as the natural accompaniment of the excitement surrounding a whole new beginning — we have experienced significant pain and suffering, particularly over the past few years. I don’t see any problems during this benevolent new moon. I simply see humanity being well aware of the dangers ahead because we have developed clear understandings and wisdom regarding the grave predicament we have been in, particularly when it comes to predators, liars and traitors.
Mercury is retrograde in Leo unfortunately, which dampens this fresh, new energy somewhat. However, it shows us that we may need to talk about or look to the past, for insights and understanding. New beginnings may be based on preventing conflict by remaining silent but vigilant. Mercury is going back to the past to rectify something — to make damn sure that those slimy fucken replicants don’t also pollute our future with their energy, and so that the crimes of the past will never be forgotten. However, Mercury retrograde is square Lilith in Scorpio (exactly), therefore, there is significant tension between those who feel persecuted, and those who want to avoid conflict (or cover up their misdeeds). Both sides of this equation are going to have to learn to find balance and harmony because this square is exact (there is no winner here, sadly). The underdog may need to accept that they need to work with the very people they despise, in order to get the job done. Others may need to work on themselves so they don’t fragment under the weight of the pain that they carry. And, others may need to work on the shame they carry for what they have done to others, particularly their children and the people they love (Leo).
Here, we have another tense t-square aspect with Venus at 22º of Gemini, squaring the nodes (with Mars on the South Node). Venus is at the notorious ‘kill or be killed’ degree, and she is squaring Mars by one degree, which shows me that a significant conflict exists between men and women. Mars (i.e. men) are on the backfoot because they are conjunct the South Node (which weakens whatever it touches). The South Node is a very karmic point in any chart and can be quite difficult to navigate. The South Node shows me that perhaps, something was done in the past that either needs to be exposed or undone. Venus = women (this is a gross generalisation because some men have a more prominent Venus in their charts and some women have a more prominent Mars in their charts). It appears to me that women (as a gross generalisation) are insisting that their needs be met come hell or high water. Because the missing corner of the t-square is in Sagittarius, the only way through this conundrum is to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth (so help you God). Because this t-square involves the nodes, this is a skipped step in evolution — something wasn’t done right in the past life and it is coming back around again to be corrected. This situation may even be from a past life that you don’t remember. My advice is to tell the truth no matter how difficult or painful. I have a lot of respect for the ‘Truth and Conciliation’ processes of post-apartheid South Africa (even though they were problematic), because our wounds simply won’t heal until the festering lies are thoroughly uncovered. By focusing on the truth (Sagittarius), we can convert all that tension into transformative energy, and move forward with the positive changes that are occurring. To me, this energy feels like a festering boil that needs to be lanced so all the painful, ugly shit that we are carrying (both as individuals and as a collective) can be released, so that healing can finally happen.
Now, I thought that I would go through the Reptilian pantheon of “gods’ and the best way to do that is to tell the story of Zeus and Hera’s wedding which was a dog’s breakfast (to put it mildly). If you feel fear regarding our Reptilian ancestors, you need to protect yourself spiritually.
Zeus = Anu, and Hera = the Naga queen that Anu married (I forget her name). Their marriage was a marriage of convenience and a political alliance. Anu’s wife had forced herself onto Anu militarily (and nobody wants somebody who was force on them). Anu was not particularly fond of his wife and she had a chip on her shoulder because of that. Nagas are snake-like reptilians that are most commonly found in ancient Ayurvedic texts from India. My understanding is that Reptilians are mammals (like us), while Nagas replicate and lay eggs instead.
Anu
All the Reptilian “gods” were invited to the wedding, except for Anu’s ex-girlfriends (Ki and Eris), and Anu’s brother Uranus. Ki and Eris were Anu’s sisters, and both had been competing to be his wife (as they do in the Reptilian and Naga kingdoms). Uranus was already dead because Anu had won the courtship battles (that were unnecessary because Anu was destined to his Naga wife instead). Eris (a very powerful witch) was not invited to the wedding and she was not too happy about it (there is a lesson in there). Eris was a trickster (like Enki), and in her anger at being rejected and slighted, she threw an enchanted golden apple into the wedding venue. On the apple was written ‘to the fairest’. Now, Reptilian women are not known for their modesty or humility (unlike human women). Instead, Reptilian women are known for their competitiveness, strategy, jealousy and tenacity (they are a force to be reckoned with and their men know it!).
When the Reptilian women found the golden apple, they fought over who was the fairest, i.e. the prettiest” — “I’m the pretty one” … “no, I’m the pretty one” … “no, I’m the pretty one” (poor Anu). Aphrodite, Athena and Hera refused to back down and poor Paris (a human man who had gotten himself lost and somehow found himself at a Reptilian wedding) was given the task of choosing between three extremely competitive and jealous Reptilian women (poor Paris! — Anu knew better and left poor Paris to fend for himself). Athena offered Paris wisdom and knowledge (to choose her). Hera offered Paris power (to choose her), and Aphrodite offered Paris the most beautiful women in the world (to choose her) — of course, the competition couldn’t just be based on merit (Reptilian women are far more complicated than that). Never get involved in a debate or argument with a Reptilian or Naga woman (just saying). If they ever ask you if they are pretty, the correct answer is “yes”.
Paris (being the red-blooded, heterosexual male that he was) chose Aphrodite and was given Helen of Troy (apparently, the most beautiful woman in the world). However, Helen was married to King Menelaus, the king of Sparta (who was not too happy about the situation). The very powerful king of Sparta then went to war to get his wife back, and this triggered the Trojan war. The Trojans won because they had Reptilian assistance, and the rest is history (poor Menelaus lost both his beautiful wife and his kingdom). Have you heard the story of the Trojan horse? If not, you should look it up because the Trojan horse was the deciding factor in the Trojan war. The lesson is don’t invite predators into your nest.
The Trojan Horse
Here is my understanding of the Reptilian pantheons of “gods” cross-referenced to their ancient Greek and Roman names and the planetary bodies associated with them (they have many names, and their history and lineage is very complicated):
Marduk (Enlil’s son): Hermes, Mercury
Nin Hasaag (Enki’s sister): Aphrodite, Venus
Mata (Enki’s twin sister): Gaia, Urantia, Earth
Enlil (Enki’s half-brother): Ares, Mars, Lucifer
Anu (Enki’s father): Zeus, Jupiter
Saturn (Anu’s father): Chronus
Uranus (Anu’s brother): Uranus
Enki: Poseidon, Neptune
Rariri: Hades, Pluto
Eris: Eris (the asteroid)
Ki (Enki's mother): Ki means Earth/Urantia
Hera: Anu’s Naga wife
There are more members of this extremely incestuous and dysfunctional Reptilian Megiddo royal family bloodline but they have been lost to the annals of time (or I am just not aware of them). What I want people to take away from this is that the Reptilians and their mortal enemies, the Nagas have been on our planet for a very long time, and that there was a time before the Reptilians invaded our beautiful but extremely vulnerable planet (and our DNA).

‘The Friends’ is all about friendship but it is also about pushing an idea forward, or pushing forward with a project. The Master Maker has it all sorted out. This is a very positive reading that shows us that this new moon is all about moving forwards (even though there are quite a few retrogrades in this chart). This is not a new moon to sit idle. Whatever we put our energy into during the next couple of weeks should show positive results.
13. Fellowship
A community may be forming. This is a time to focus on the collective energy and to flow with harmonious relationships of all kinds. Great success is possible when communal or tribal bonds unite a group of people under the spirit of cooperation, and great tasks can be undertaken with a solid unified group behind you. Be accommodating, keep the lines of communication open, and learn to respect the power of diversity.
Line three
Your opponent is strong. It is well to cease any cunning or crafty ways. Things will only get worse if you play games.
Line six
There is fellowship with convenient associates, but warmth is lacking. There is no great purpose to this cordial group but there is no cause for regret. No harm should come but don’t expect much.
17. Following
Accept what is happening and follow the currents. You may not be able to change the direction of the wind but by frequently adjusting your sails, you can arrive at your destination. Don’t resist or fight, nor retreat. Be flexible. In matters of principle, stand firm. In matters of style and taste, swim with the current. Bend and you will not break. Make sure that you take care of yourself so that you will have reserves to share with the collective of your choice. If you are leading, consider the welfare of the whole and be adaptable to the demands of the times.
There may be some enemies in your camp (just saying).
25-26 July
Mercury rx in Leo inconjunct Lilith in Scorpio, at 13º
This is not an easy transit (not gonna lie). An inconjunction means that something needs to shift. At an Aries degree, this is an active and angry little transit. Mercury retrograde in Leo can be quite arrogant, while Lilith in Scorpio can be a very vengeful little bitch (just saying). Be careful of conflict during this transit. Alternatively, we might just feel irritated or irritable. Alternatively, we may need to adjust our mindset so that difficult experiences from our past don’t continue to erode our self-confidence.
26-31 July
Neptune rx in Aries sextile Pluto rx in Aquarius, at 2º
This is a very powerful transit (2º). However, this is an extremely introverted aspect because both planets are retrograde, so what is going on here? Pluto retrograde is about deep emotional and/or psycho-sexual issues. In Aquarius, these issues are likely to deal with separation and/or our friends, allies or associates. Neptune rx makes things very clear (often painfully so). In Aries, we could be dealing with very early trauma (Aries represents babies). We may also be dealing with issues that stem from traumatic past life events that we can’t clearly remember. Hypnotism (with someone that you trust implicitly) may be beneficial during this transit (just saying). Alternatively, we could be dealing with unexpected or unexplainable rage (also Aries). At a Taurus degree, we may also be dealing with excessive stubbornness, or pain that refuses to move (I can relate to that).
1 August
Sun conjunct Mercury rx in Leo, at 9º
This transit is highlighting our confidence and happiness. At a Jupiter degree, things could not be better. Enjoy today!
1-16 August
Saturn rx conjunct Neptune rx, in Aries, at 1º
This is a very introspective transit (that lasts for over 2 weeks) because both slow-moving outer planets are retrograde. This is the great Saturn-Neptune conjunction. Like the great Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn during 2020 that brought us excessive restrictions and mandates, this conjunction will also be life-changin. If both planets were direct, this time could be quite explosive. However, because both planets are going backwards, this transit is more about our belief systems and it appears to be re-introducing belief systems from the past. Neptune retrograde represents clarity (among other things). Saturn retrograde tends to expands things. Aries is all about new beginnings. This transit is also at an Aries degree, so there is a lot of passion and/or action involved. This transit is about our spiritual beliefs, a new beginning to do with our collective mindset, or potentially something to do with the collapse of governments (Saturn retrograde). Uranus joins this transit on the 4th of August (see below).
This is merely the first pass of this conjunction. Both planets will retrograde back into Pisces before they conjunct in Aries again. In early 2026, both planets will conjunct again (the second pass). However, both planets will be direct and this will be a very long transit that continues over 2 degrees (and last for months) — this transit (and Uranus’ involvement) is likely to colour the whole of 2026 (it’s quite a big deal, just saying). The second pass is likely to transform our belief systems into a very powerful, structured religion (just saying).
This part of the transit appears to be about determining exactly what our spiritual beliefs are, before that happens. We need to realise that many nefarious people (and extra-terrestrials) use astrology for personal gain, and they may attempt to hijack our belief systems during this time (just saying). In my humble opinion, this transit represents the divergence of worlds that has been prophesised, and the time to sit on the fence is over. I personally believe that this transit will force us to choose between the light and the darkness (if we have not already). It has been prophesised that there will be one thousand years of peace after this divergence, and then humanity will once again have to revisit the gnarly issues that we are dealing with today.
3 August
Mars in Virgo inconjunct Chiron rx in Aries, at 27º
This is a very difficult little transit. Luckily it only lasts for one day. Mars in Virgo is not a happy camper. Firstly, fiery Mars finds earthy Virgo quite frustrating. An inconjunction means that something needs to shift. Chiron retrograde can be quite painful, particularly in Aries. Alternatively, Chiron retrograde can represent healing an internal wound. At a Gemini degree, a difficult conversation might need to happen. Alternatively, we might be trying to help someone else with their internal wounds. Mars in Virgo can be quite analytical and wants to get to the heart of the matter.
4-16 August
A sextile
Uranus in Gemini sextile Saturn rx conjunct Neptune rx in Aries, at 1º
Uranus adds his chaotic energy to the great Saturn-Neptune conjunction that will change religion and belief systems forever. Uranus in Gemini (particularly at an Aries degree) represents a buzz or hype, perhaps on social media (Gemini). Please also see the interpretation for the Saturn-Neptune conjunction.
We also have the great Uranus-Pluto trine (in Air signs) coming up in late August — this is likely to be mindbending (just saying)!
5 August
Sun in Leo semi-sextile Jupiter in Cancer, at 12º
This transit is occurring during multiple other complex transits. However, this is quite an easy-going, feel-good transit so make the most of it while it lasts. Jupiter in Cancer likes to be at home and the Sun in Leo is enjoying himself. Perhaps, those of you in the Northern hemisphere are sunbathing at home. At a Pisces degree, this is a day to relax and soak up the benevolent energy of this transit.
7 August
Sun in Leo square Lilith in Scorpio, at 14º
This is a tense aspect so expect some difficulties today. Be wary of conflict because any conflict that begins today could last for a long time (a Taurus degree and this square is in fixed signs). To make the most of this transit, try to fuse any feelings of angst or rage with your sense of personal pride and charge ahead with determination (Taurus degree).
The next full moon is in Aquarius, on the 9th of August.
Paradise
Moonlight scatters on rolling waves and stars dance on a blue night sky.
Parents rest and children play.
A soft summer night to remember the day of the fondest memories ever made.
Gentle sounds of water and laughter float on a breeze to a far away place,
where couples kiss and lovers lay,
wishing tomorrow forever away, in case their love should ever fade.
Tranquil, surreal, most perfect night, of peace and laughter and love and life,
where guitars sing and dancers sway,
and all around can be heard to say that all is alright and all is okay,
in paradise.

The Outer Planets (part three)
Pluto takes approximately 250 years to travel around the Sun (and the zodiac), and because Pluto’s orbit is so elliptical, he spends between 11 and 30 years in each sign. Pluto rules over Scorpio, which can be a very dark and scary sign indeed. Pluto rules over dark and scary places, including the deepest caves as well as the recesses of our subconscious minds. Pluto rules over our psycho-sexual impulses and our social conditioning, and he often appears in our lives as fear or problems. He also represents our enemies, corruption, crime, war and death, among other things. However, he also represents a source of irrepressible internal and/or external power. Pluto may seem dark and scary at first (because he is), but once you assimilate your Plutonian lessons, your inner strength and personal power will be undeniable.
I have found (from a lifetime of personal experience) that there seems to be a clear divide between ‘Pluto direct’ people and ‘Pluto retrograde’ people. ‘Pluto direct’ people tend to be a little too in your face, particularly if Pluto is prominent in their charts. They are the control freaks of the zodiac, who naturally dominate any situation they find themselves in. In contrast, ‘Pluto retrograde’ people would never force themselves onto others — they think they are far too cool for that (they let the ‘Pluto direct’ people do the chasing). ‘Pluto retrograde’ people tend to look down on their more annoying ‘Pluto direct’ counterparts because they can come across a little too strong. Pluto direct people tend to respond to fear with control mechanisms, whereas, Pluto retrograde people tend to get subversive and vengeful (just saying).
Pluto represents death but he understands that death is not necessarily final. The astrological lesson or gift that Pluto gives to us is his transformational ability, in other words, he excels at transmuting energy (and physical matter) into something else. Because of this, he represents decay and decomposition which provides us with nutrients for fertility, and the birth of new life and fresh growth. Pluto also represents elimination, detoxification and purging, i.e. the need to take a shit regularly so that we can live healthy lives. He essentially represents the death of the past, so that a new chapter can begin.
My understanding (please forgive me if I get some details incorrect):
People often associate Pluto with the occult and Satanic worship. However, it is important to realise that nothing is as it seems and that Satan (or Saturn) generally refers to Anu Du, the king of the Reptilians (he took the title from his father, Chronus). Anu does not generally get involved in frivolous human affairs, and he finds it irritating when humans bother him with trivial matters (he’s a very busy Du, i.e. king). However, demons will happily pretend to be Anu and get involved in such matters (silly humans). Anu wants people to know that he does not approve of human or animal sacrifices (ever), but he does like it when women wear their hair in a ponytail as a sign of deference to him (Reptilians are a bit superficial like that).
Hades/Pluto
In the ancient Reptilian pantheon of gods, Pluto = Enlil. In the ancient Greek pantheon of Gods, Enlil = both Ares (Mars) and Hades (Pluto). Hades was the king of the Underworld and he was a very powerful king indeed, which is why Pluto often represents political or military power. Hades is perhaps best known for his role in the story of Persephone’s descent into the Underworld. Persephone was the daughter of a powerful Earth-bound witch named Demeter, or Hekat (or Hecate). When Persephone was kidnapped by Reptilians, Hekat petitioned Hades for her safe return. However, Persephone was one of the first humans to be replaced by a Reptilian mimic (who has been known as Persephone ever since). Even Hades had been tricked by Reptilians! — let that be a lesson to you. Hekat was devastated. She believed that her daughter had changed because she had been traumatized in the Underworld. This is a very sad story because poor Persephone remained trapped in hell, despite being entirely innocent, and Hekat never recovered from the loss of her daughter. Because Persephone’s mimic was so malevolent, Hekat let her spend 6 months of every year in the Underworld with Hades. Hades eventually married “Persephone”, and she became the Queen of the Underworld. However, Hades eventually lost his throne to her, and she became Queen of the Underworld in her own right (let that also be a lesson to you).
Persephone
Hekat/Demeter
In the Reptilian pantheon of gods, Pluto is Enlil (also known as Lucifer). Enlil is Enki’s half-brother. Anu is Enki and Enlil’s father. Enlil’s mother was Anu’s wife, therefore, Enlil was the legitimate heir to the Reptilian Megiddo-Naga throne. Enki’s mother was Ki, Anu’s concubine — Ki was forced into being a concubine when the Naga Queen forced herself onto Anu militarily, and Anu was compelled to marry her to prevent another bloody war. Reptilian succession is generally quite simple — they marry within their familial bloodlines, i.e. they marry their brother or sister, and they are very strict about observing that custom (they think we are gross because we can go from partner to partner). It does seem that when Reptilians marry outside of this tradition, all hell breaks loose (like poor Anu). The animosity and conflict between Enki and Enlil is legendary, and has been a constant feature of human existence for millions of years (yes, human history is far older than we have been led to believe). The conflict between these two half-brothers has led to numerous nuclear conflicts off-world and on Earth (known extra-terrestrially as the Urantian Kingdom). Entire planets (and probably solar systems) have been blown to smithereens because these two can’t play nicely together. The story goes that Enki was imprisoned for 150,000 years for murdering one of Persephone’s guards. While Enki was incarcerated, Enlil had unfettered access to our world, and that is why our planet has become so Luciferian (or Babylonian, as the Rasta Farians would say). Enki would like people to know that he is out of prison now, and that he is the genetic creator of the current human race, and that he is the most beautiful Reptilian in existence (even though his mother was only a concubine). It’s very important to him that people know that he is the better-looking half-brother, and that Enlil looks like a cane toad compared to him. Enki can be quite superficial like that. Enki would also like it known that he has usurped Enlil by conquest (which is a legitimate form of power in the Reptilian kingdom), therefore, Enki is now the legitimate heir to the Megiddo-Naga throne. There Enki — happy now? I can hear a distant “yes Mete”.
Pluto in Virgo
21 October 1956 - 15 January 1957
20 August 1957 - 11 April 1958
11 June 1958 - 5 October 1971
18 April 1972 - 30 July 1972
Pluto in Virgo people are similar to Uranus in Virgo people — they are magicians. They have the magic touch that gives them the ability to transform their reality and create practical solutions to difficult problems. The flip side to that is that if they are not healthy (Virgo), everything they touches turns to shit (Pluto). These guys might be farmers and/or agriculturalists, however, Pluto represents problems so there may be difficulties with this. Virgo represents agriculture and Pluto represents anything that comes from deep underground, and this is the generation that introduced agro-phosphates (derived from oil) to farming (a very bad idea, in my opinion).
If Virgo is retrograde, these people are the problem fixers. They are deep thinkers and tinkerers. They are generally very practically-minded (Virgo) and they don’t suffer fools gladly or get involved in melodrama (dependant on other aspects in their chart, of course). However, if Pluto is direct, these people tend to be analytical, control freaks and they can be quite domineering when it comes to expressing their opinions. They can be quite hard-nosed, just saying. Either way, these people need to get right with their karma because they transform their reality with their minds, for better or worse.
Pluto in Libra
6 October 1971 - 17 April 1972
31 July 1972 - 6 November 1983
19 May 1984 - 28 August 1984
This is the messy relationships generation (yes, that includes me). Libra represents relationships, particularly romantic ones. Libra also represents adjudication, and these people can get themselves involved in some pretty messy court cases (yes, I’m sticking my hand up for that too). Pluto represents deep, down, ugly shit, which means that our deep psychological issues are generally played out through our relationships, and we all know how ugly that shit can get.
When Pluto is direct, he can be a raging bull in relationships (even the women). He or she is generally a control freak. Don’t tell them but the reason they can’t relax is because they are afraid of being left out or hurt. They can have much healthier relations when they are able to work out their deep, dark Plutonic stuff in a safe environment. When Pluto is retrograde, he can be a bit of an obsessed, pitbull stalker — their feelings can be so intense that they try to avoid them, but when they can’t, it can be hell for them. As they mature and master their fear of being forsaken, they can be incredibly wise and ridiculously loyal in relationships. Don’t betray them (unless you are very brave), because Pluto in Libra can be extremely vengeful. If you do betray them, God help you because they do revenge as an artform and they find it difficult to back down, even when the fight ended long ago. Two Pluto in Libra people together — OMG!
Pluto in Scorpio
6 November 1983 - 18 May 1984
29 August 1984 - 17 January 1995
22 April 1995 - 10 November 1995
Watch out for these little blighters because they are hiding in plain sight. These are the scary little shits of the zodiac. They might look like poor little millennials on the surface but don’t be fooled because that is just to give you a false sense of security. Don’t fuck with them — just saying. As a general rule, don’t fuck with Scorpionic people unless you want to get hurt. Pluto in Scorpio people are double Scorpio (just saying) — they may just be the evilest person you ever met. Their best friends are demons and scorpions, and they don’t take prisoners (unless it is in their interests, of course). Pluto in Scorpio people are the high priests of the zodiac. They tend to be occultists and they may even be putting pins into a voodoo doll with your name on it right now — they can be extremely dark little shits, just saying. Pluto in Scorpio people need to find their niche in life, and then they will excel.
If Pluto is retrograde, they will tend to act out of fear. However, as they mature (if they do, of course), they will become the staunchest motherfuckers you ever could meet. They won’t be afraid of anything at all. They will also be hyper-vigilant and extremely psychic. They are not bad people per se, but they will always have the potential to be dangerous and they will always, always have an intense demeanour. They might even be vampires (just saying).
If Pluto is direct, watch out! Pluto direct = raw power, and they tend to dominate everything (often because they are very good at what they do). At least they are not hiding in the shadows where we don’t notice them, like Pluto retrograde people tend to do.
Nobody does sex like Pluto in Scorpio people, and superficial or frivolous people should stay away lest you get hurt (you don’t know what you are messing with). Pluto in Scorpio people are masters at sex magick, and they will get your rocks off, particularly if you are one of those people who are turned on by dangerous people (just saying).
Pluto in Sagittarius
18 January 1995 - 21 April 1995
11 November 1995 - 26 January 2008
15 June 2008 - 27 November 2008
Sagittarius is all about truth and knowledge, and Pluto in Sagittarius people are the philosophers of the zodiac. Pluto is about our deep psychological issues and our social conditioning. These people want to expose (Sagittarius) the darkness (Pluto), and to explore it in order to understand it. Pluto in Sagittarius is nothing less than the quest for the true nature of reality, and Pluto in Sagittarius people are on a life-long quest for knowledge and understanding. However, Pluto also represents problems so their quests are not always smooth sailing. If Pluto is retrograde, these people are more likely to experience fear. If Pluto is direct, these people are more likely to experience problems.
Sagittarius is also about travelling, so these people might experience problems if they go overseas. Pluto can be quite frightening so they might feel latent anxiety when abroad. Alternatively, they might have old past life karma to clear in foreign lands. Both of my children have Pluto in Sagittarius, and I watched the world become a much more dangerous place as they grew up. My oldest son travelled to South America during the so-called Covid pandemic and he went missing in Mexico. He still has not returned. It does not get much scarier than that. These people might also experience fear or problems when dealing with government agencies, institutions or organisations including universities (Sagittarius). When they encounter problems, they do best when they expand the problem to learn more about it. These people might also experience anxiety (Pluto) when attempting to expand or upgrade their lives (Sagittarius). The song “Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls” comes to mind. These people are growing up in an increasingly volatile situation, and they tend to do best when they live relatively simply lives, consolidate what they have, make the most of the resources available, and accept less excitement in their lives than generations before them.

Pluto in Capricorn
27 January 2008 - 14 June 2008
28 November 2008 - 23 March 2023
12 June 2023 - 21 January 2024
2 September 2024 - 19 November 2024
This era was ushered in by the greatest heist of the century (the 2008 financial crisis), just saying. This is a very staunch little generation indeed. They were promised a world of abundance and most of them have had to learn the hardship of austerity (ripped off!!). Many of these poor little things grew up during the stress and dysfunction of mandates and lockdowns. Capricorn represents the government and police, and these little mites will probably always feel a latent anxiety (Pluto) when it comes to them. Their lives are likely to be wracked with problems or hardship caused by authority, control or lack of resources (I hate to say that in case I jinx them). However, their power (Pluto) comes from their mental and emotional rigid toughness (Capricorn). They are very Reptilian (Pluto in Capricorn), and they can be quite demonic (also Pluto in Capricorn) — they should protect themselves from negative influences (unless they like that, of course). A direct interpretation of Pluto in Capricorn is the Underworld, and that can be interpreted in multiple ways. Firstly, there is the physical Underworld (Pluto) and then there is the underbelly of any society (also Pluto).
If Pluto is retrograde, Pluto in Capricorn people tend to be hard as nails. They make good KGB agents or military assassins (just saying). If Pluto is direct, they can be quite overbearing — they could make good interrogators and/or military dictators (just saying). Capricorn also represents our careers, so this young generation are likely to experience significant upheaval or volatility in this area. Capricorn also represents our status in life, so they are also likely to go through confusion or problems in this area too. To get around this, they are likely to minimize (Capricorn) themselves and their problems (Pluto), just to get on with it — that Capricornian-Plutonic mental toughness will get them through just about anything. Pluto in Capricorn brought us significant problems regarding corrupt governments (particularly while Saturn was also in Capricorn), and these little ones will always tend to have a subversive bent in them — not just because they fear oppression but because they have lived through the consequences and aftermath of unbridled tyranny, and they understand it.
Pluto in Aquarius
24 March 2023 - 11 June 2023
22 January 2024 - 1 September 2024
20 November 2024 - 9 March 2043
2 September 2043 - 19 January 2044
We have to get used to Pluto being in Aquarius because he will be there until 2044. This is a truly radical era and generation. Pluto in Aquarius ushers in the Age of Aquarius. Nothing will ever be the same again. Aquarius is about your community or friend group and this may radically change over this time-period. Alternatively, we may develop an aversion to groups and cliques — Aquarius is also very much about going your own way (the paradox of Aquarius). Pluto in Aquarius will completely transform society by tearing it down, in order to clear the path for rebirth. That is what Pluto does, for better or worse. If we flow with the tao (i.e. the transformation), we will catch the ride to the new beginning. However, if we cling to the past (which is death or stagnation if we really want to think about it), Pluto’s gift can seem like a curse.
Pluto in Aquarius might see us finally understanding the extra-terrestrial (Aquarius) tyranny (Pluto) that has been lurking in the shadows for millenia. Pluto in Aquarius could also represent war (Pluto) with extra-terrestrials or technology (Aquarius). That is another interpretation of Pluto in Aquarius — war with the machines. This is not a sci-fi movie anymore. AI robots are real and a true threat (Pluto) to humanity (Aquarius). I predict a massive upgrade in technology when Pluto trines Uranus in early Gemini in August (2025), particularly with Neptune and Saturn in Aries in the mix. I expect nothing less than a giant leap in the evolution of consciousness from this transit. As with all Plutonian transits, if we catch the wave, we can completely transform our lives (or not). Pluto in Aquarius promises to bring us complex warfare, however, the beauty of astrology is that you can transmute negative energy if you consciously decide to. For example, a positive interpretation of Pluto in Aquarius is going underground with all sorts of weird and wonderful technologies and ideas. Aquarius represents the future and all things futuristic. However, with Pluto involved, the future might look quite frightening. The only way through Plutonic fear is to embrace the change and flow with the tao. The flipside of Plutonic fear is Plutonic power, whether that is internal power that exudes from your core, or external power with real-world consequences.

Full Moon, 11 July 2025
Capricorn
Welcome to The Apocalypse. I am your host and this is the Marama (Moon) Report for the full moon in Capricorn on the 11th of July 2025. Full moons represent endings, culminations and things coming to fruition. Full moon energy lasts for approximately two weeks (until the following new moon). Full moons are the best time to cleanse tarot cards and crystals in the moonlight, to empower them (I leave mine out overnight on a windowsill).
Here, we have a full moon in Capricorn at a Virgo degree. So, straight away, I can say that this full moon is going to be about work. Capricorn is about our career and our status in life, whereas, Virgo is all about our daily work and our daily life. Because, this is a full moon, we are working towards closing things out so that we are ready for a fresh start when the Leo new moon arrives on the 25th of July. 18º is one of those difficult degrees — it essentially represents tenuous situations that require hard-work and long-term dedication, depending on what sign it is in. For example, when my progressed Moon hit 18º of Pisces, I got very sick (Pisces) and orthodox doctors could not help me. I therefore, had to work at finding the solution for myself, which I did but not without a lot of stress and difficulty. Therefore, to me, this full moon represents a knotty problem that is going to take some time and effort to resolve (Saturn represents Old Father Time/Chronus).
Chronus
My understanding:
The story of Chronus in the pantheon of gods is quite a dark story indeed. In the Reptilian kingdom, Chronus was Anu’s father — Anu replaced Chronus as the head of the royal Megiddo Reptilian bloodline. Anu is the largest of the Reptilians. He stands at fifteen feet tall and his story is a long, difficult and very sad one — it is quite Saturnian (just saying). According to ancient mythology, Chronus was so paranoid about losing his position as Du (king) of the Reptilians because of a prophecy that he would be overthrown by his son, that he ate his sons as they were born. However, Zeus (Anu) and his twin brother Uranus escaped because Uranus said “nah, fuck you” and he fought back so hard that he ripped his father’s stomach open (gruesome!).
Also Chronus
The Sun is at 18º of Cancer. This highlights work that needs to be done at home. It also highlights difficult emotional/psychological work that needs to be done. This report is starting to sound like a Greek tragedy. Jupiter in Cancer expands this energy. At a Libra degree, relationships are also highlighted. It seems to me that ancient, karmic past-life relationship issues may be coming up. I see some long-term (Saturn) marriages (Libra) coming up for scrutiny regarding past actions. Past spouses may also be coming back. Uranus at 0º of Gemini, shows the potential for some pretty wild arguments (just saying). With Venus also in Gemini, women in particular could be quite vocal and/or argumentative. Vesta in Scorpio is inconjunct Venus by one degree, so issues regarding lost innocence may be coming up. Venus in Gemini is semi-sextile Jupiter in Cancer so women’s issues are being raised. Again, marriages are being highlighted (Jupiter = the husband in a woman’s chart).
Vesta is tightly conjunct Lilith and Juno, in Scorpio. This is a very gnarly little long-term (Juno) sexual (Lilith) knot to untangle. Lilith represents problems and Juno adds longevity to whatever she touches. Lilith also represents the ‘other woman’ and Juno also represents the ‘wife’ archetype. Vesta could represent a daughter in the situation. Lilith also represents raw sexuality while Juno can be a bit dour and boring — in other words, the ‘mother-whore’ dichotomy appears to be raising her ugly head to be released from judgement and suffering (there is the Greek tragedy again). These three together also resemble the ‘maiden-mother-crone’ goddess, which makes me think that the younger vs older woman wound is potentially coming up for air and healing.
Mars is activating the South Node in Virgo, so issues of the past are coming up. Ceres in Aquarius inconjunct Mars is saying that something needs to shift. Ceres is Papatuanuku or Gaia (our Earth Mother), and in Aquarius, she can be quite radical. My guess is that something happened in the past that needs to be corrected (if that is possible). With the South Node in Virgo, environmental issues that stem from past events may need to be addressed (Fukushima nuclear power plant perhaps?). Ceres is telling Mars that he needs to stop what he is doing to the land (Virgo). Mars = fire. Mars also = war. Mars is also semi-sextile Mercury and the asteroid Cupido (exactly), in Leo. This shows that Mars’ response is likely to be whatever he thinks other people want to hear (Cupido) — and this aspect is exactly in harmony with Ceres rebelling in Aquarius. At an Aries degree, this little conflict could get quite ugly.
Neptune retrograde in Aries sextile Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, is creating quite lot of nervous tension and worry. At a Taurus degree, this is quite a stubborn aspect. Saturn at an Aries degree is actively controlling the nervous tension, while also actively suppressing whatever Pluto is so worried about. Pluto is conjunct the part of fortune (exactly), therefore, hidden money is likely to come up. Because the part of fortune is conjunct Pluto retrograde, something may be hidden deep underground, or even deep underwater. Pluto retrograde = very deep. Alternatively, secrets buried deep within our subconscious minds could be the way to finding abundance. With Pluto in Aquarius, radical, experimental or even scientific approaches may be helpful. Alternatively, sharing with trusted friends (Aquarius) may be the way to go. This isn’t an easy period (not gonna lie), but with some organised effort (Virgo) towards establishing order and longevity (Capricorn), we could find ourselves in a very good position going forward. The Leo new moon in two weeks promises to be much happier than dour and boring old Capricorn — if the hat fits, wear it, if not, please don’t ❤️.
Capricorn
Sabian Symbol (18º of Capricorn)
A child carrying a huge shopping bag filled with groceries
This symbol shows having to carry heavy loads to shoulder responsibilities, do chores and jobs and help others, sometimes because there’s no one else who can or will do it. Often, the child gets these responsibilities because they are the one who others know is going to take it seriously, completing the task, taking care of details. You may feel that you have been burdened with responsibilities beyond normal expectations and possibly beyond your capability. Despite being keen amd enthusiastic, you must be careful not to try to take on too much, or do too much, or too quickly. Like a child, you need to play, be creative and rest. You might feel like you are growing up too fast, or that you grew up too fast. You might feel weighed down with responsibilities.

Peacock (reversed):
Someone who is jealous. Someone who pulls others down because it’s easier than working on themselves. Someone who is unhappy.
Hawk (reversed):
Someone who has fallen from grace or lowered their standards.
This reading is quite straightforward — someone who is not working for the betterment of humanity is taking a fall. When the Peacock is upright, he is proud of himself and showing off, but when he is reversed, he has an inferiority complex that he takes out on other people. The Hawk usually flies high but when reversed, he has crash landed. I can’t think of a more positive interpretation, so take it as a warning that being unnecessarily problematic or demanding during this time might lead to your downfall.
Spirit Dancer is all about spreading your gifts to the people who need them. It’s about dropping pretence and doing what is needed, for the whanau/family, or the community. She is all about expressing yourself freely. Perhaps, your kindness or wisdom is what is needed most during this tricky full moon.
52. The Mountain
This is a time of stillness and inner composure to maintain cosmic harmony with the flow of energy. Now is a time to disengage from activities and remain in contemplative discipline. Then you will be better able to nourish yourself and others. Regular periods of rest are an important aspect of personal development. This is time to protect your vitality. Use it wisely. Take time out to relax and meditate.
Line one
Remain quiet and firm at the beginning of a new situation. Before moving, you need to know where you are moving to. You need to properly chart your course at the beginning of a major undertaking.
Line three
Cease trying to force things. Compose your mind and heart. Ambition and restlessness are dangerous. If you are having trouble slowing down or you are suffering from insomnia, just try to rest as much as possible at this time.
Line five
Be aware of a lack of inner calm leading to talking too much. You will not be taken seriously in this way. Be still, and listen by centering yourself — then your thoughts will be clear and your words true.
42. Increase
Movement in any direction brings renewal. Difficult tasks can be taken on due to increasing energy. It furthers one to ride the rapids now while the waves of opportunity are high. Broadmindedness will result in supreme good fortune.
11 - 31 July
Neptune retrograde in Aries sextile Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, at 2º
Both of these two slow-moving planets are retrograde and this is an extension of a long transit that started before this full moon. Because these two bad boys are so slow moving, the effects of this transit will last for months. This is a very introspective transit (both planets are retrograde). A sextile is an active aspect so this is an actively introspective time. This is a time to deal with any deep psychological wounds that are causing us to lose confidence in ourselves or our abilities. At a Taurus degree, this is a stable time, and this suggests that sticking at it and working on the problem will produce the results that you want.
12 July
Sun in Cancer trine True Node in Pisces, at 19º
The True Node is slightly different from the North Node. The True Node is an exact mathematical point whereas the North Node is an average of a range of mathematical points. The True Node is specific and when dealing with the True Node, it pays to focus on the details rather than a broad overview of the situation. This is another Libra degree, so we are probably focusing on relationships, the courts, finding harmony and balance in our lives, or publicity. The Sun in Cancer highlights our emotions or our home (the place where we ‘feel’ at home - ‘feel’ is the operative word here). Because this is in harmony with the True Node, we will be focusing on where we belong today and that may make us feel uncomfortable or emotional (Sun in Cancer). The Sun is also sextile the True South Node in Virgo (because the South Node is always directly opposite the North Node). Therefore, we may be working on something from the past or something that we want to leave behind (South Node). This may be a relationship (Libra degree). To get ahead today, it might pay to work on the past in order to move forward towards the future.
12-13 July
Mercury in Leo semi-sextile Mars in Virgo, at 14º
There are two separate tracks going on here. Mercury in Leo can be proud and boastful, while Mars in Virgo is critical and angry. This is a transit that is loaded with conflict. At a Taurus degree, this is a very stubborn little conflict, indeed. It appears that two strong or difficult personalities are working at cross-purposes against each other. A positive interpretation is having pride (Mercury in Leo) in your work (Mars in Virgo). If you stubbornly (Taurus) tackle chores and problems today (Mars in Virgo), you are likely to gain invaluable self-confidence from your achievements (Mercury in Leo).
13 July
Saturn goes retrograde in Aries, at 1º
Aries generally = conflict. Saturn normally restricts and constricts things. Saturn wants order, and sometimes the best way to achieve that is to minimise or condense things, so Saturn has been limiting conflict while he has been direct. He also tends to formalise things or structure things. However, when Saturn goes retrograde he internalises things, and he tends to expand things (a retrograde Saturn can work much like a direct Jupiter). For this reason, Saturn retrograde in Aries does not look good for diplomatic relations or for any ceasefire agreements (just as an example). At an Aries degree, things could go nuclear (just saying). Nuclear fusion is implosion rather than an explosion, so Saturn retrograde in Aries could easily be interpreted as a nuclear holocaust (just saying), particularly with Neptune and Chiron also in Aries. Saturn will retrograde back into Pisces to finish to something off from the old world, and then turn direct again on the 28th of November (this could be a redo of something that wasn’t done properly in the first place) — things will start to move forward then.
14 July
Sun in Cancer trine North Node in Pisces, at 21º
This transit is all about our future. We want to feel good about where we are going (Jupiter degree), and this implies that we are not currently happy with where we are going. The Sun in Cancer is highlighting our feelings and the North Node in Pisces is all about manifesting our future potentials within our minds. Sometimes, we are not clear about where we are going and what we want, and the hardest part of looking forward is figuring out what we want our future to look like. When faced with unlimited potential, we might need to look to the past (Sun sextile South Node) to remember what we don’t want to re-create. We might also need to work on the past to clear the path for the future we envision.
18 July
Mercury goes retrograde in Leo, at 15º
Five days after Saturn goes retrograde in Aries, Mercury also goes retrograde in Leo. This is meaningful because Neptune and Pluto are also retrograde. This is what astrologers call retrograde season. When multiple planets are retrograde at the same time, the energy feels like it is standing still. It can be quite frustrating (just saying) and things tend to stay on hold during this time because it’s not yet time to move forward. Retrograde season is all about looking at the past, redoing things or correcting something that was not done properly in the first place. You might even find something that you thought was lost. Because Mercury, Saturn and Neptune are in fire signs and Pluto is in an air sign. This is quite a fiery period, so expect some fireworks until Saturn (and then Neptune) retrogrades back into Pisces, which will be a very karmic time indeed (more on that later).
20 July
Sun in Cancer square Chiron in Aries, at 27º
This is a very painful conflict. It could also represent a painful inner wound or internal conflict. At a Gemini degree, this represents arguments or worries. This is an ouchies day, particularly if you have anything at 27º in either your progressed or natal charts (like myself). Perhaps, something needs to be said. Perhaps, the pain is so great that you must give it movement. There could be some grief that needs to be given the freedom to flow. Perhaps, this is a depressed day where you need to stay in bed and give yourself a pep-talk. I can’t think of a more positive interpretation, so prepare for a particularly emotional and/or sensitive day today.
21 July
Mars in Virgo conjunct True South Node in Pisces, at 19º
This is a very heavy, karmic little transit. It could be quite draining. Luckily, it only lasts for one day. Mars in Virgo can be quite analytical and critical. The True South Node is focused on a specific detail or event from the past. At a Libra degree, this could be about relationships or something that tipped us off balance. This is a very bad day to go to court (Libra degree). If you can’t avoid it, your past actions (i.e. your karma) will determine the outcome. If you have to go to court today, your best way forward is to focus on all the good things about yourself including your achievements (Libra degree) — put your best foot forward (Mars in Virgo).
22 July
Venus in Gemini square True Node in Pisces, at 19º
This is another Libra degree, so again, relationships are highlighted. Venus in Gemini loves to talk, particularly on social media. When something squares the North Node, it also squares the South Node — this is called the nodal axis, and it forms a t-square aspect. When something squares the nodal axis, it means that something is being triggered from a past life, so anybody with 19º in either their natal or progressed charts should watch out today. Astrologers call it a ‘skipped step’, because it usually means that something wasn’t completed in a past life and it is coming back around on the next octave of the spiral of evolution. Because it forms a t-square (a very tense aspect), the only way through this mutable (changeable) maelstrom is to transmute the t-square into a transformational Grand Cross by focusing on the missing corner of the t-square. Because the t-square is exact, we can get the exact reference for that degree:
19º Sagittarius
A monstrous sea creature dead, washed up on the beach
Poisons, toxins, the refuse of what is incomplete create a stink and a sensation. It is horrible to be rotting away in the wrong place at the wrong time. And it is worse for everybody to know it and nobody to be able to do anything about it. Each and every inward distortion magnifies itself and takes over the situation. You are getting a chance to behold every old syndrome played back everywhere. And if you can forgive and move on, all of it will be more than worth it, no matter how sickening it felt at the time.
23 July
Sun enters Leo
The Sun is domicile in Leo, which means that he is at home there. Leo is all about finding your happiness, i.e. whatever gives you joy and/or a sense of pride. Have a look at what house Leo is in in your chart (if you know your time of birth) and it will tell you what you enjoy doing. For me, my sixth house is ruled by Leo and the sixth house is ruled by work. It’s not the Saturnian or Capricornian career type of work, but your boring day-to-day Virgo type of work. Yes, I am one of those anally retented people who gets enjoyment out of doing the housework (it’s so embarrassing). I’m not one of those people who cleans their house meticulously so they can show off how clean and tidy their house is. I just get grounded from doing the fucken housework — so there, I said it, I’m a freak, I admit it. No, my house isn’t always tidy (far from it) but when I need to come back to my centre because I feel out of sorts about something, I tend to serve penance by doing housework and I enjoy it (there I said it again — the shame omg!). The Sun will be in Leo until it moves into Virgo on the 23rd of August.
The difference between natal and progressed charts (my understanding):
Your natal chart is a map of your life and of your psychological make-up, i.e. your personality. Your progressed chart is a detailed map of your current situation. Your progressed chart is basically your natal chart that moves forward one day for every year of your life. For example, at 3 years of age, your progressed chart moved forward 3 days from the date of your birth (i.e. the sky three days after you were born). The first days after your birth tells you the story of your life. Major junctures in your life will show up where planets change signs, aspect each other, or go retrograde or direct. I hope that makes sense.
Sun in Leo sextile Uranus in Gemini, at 0º
This is quite a nice, feel-good, easy-going but active, happy-go-lucky and chatty transit. Have a nice day!
Venus in Gemini, square Mars in Virgo conjunct the South Node, at 20º
T-square
This is another gnarly, little t-square, involving the nodes. This time it is at a Scorpio degree (uh-oh). So again, there is a karmic ‘skipped step’ that needs to be remedied, i.e. something from a past life is coming back around to be corrected or perfected. Again, the way through a tense t-square is to rebalance it with the fourth corner of the square, which is at 20º of Sagittarius. 20º of Sagittarius is one degree after the degree of the last t-square (see above), so there might be some progression from that here. With Mars conjunct the South Node, this time could be about hard work (just saying). With Mars square Venus, there could be a tense ‘male-female’ divide or standoff — the North Node in Pisces shows us that the objective is peace and/or silence.
20º Sagittarius
The changing of water into wine
The accustomed round of events is a set-up, and a springboard into what we hope to find when we search and strive. The basic circle of common experience is the indispensable container for miracles to be born. The ongoing continuum of life takes through itself the innovative and the visionary, and offers the arena for the action to reach across to everybody. The ordinary is ecstatic with promise, and fertile with worlds beyond. And almost all of it makes itself felt, gently and intrinsically. Enhancing all budding possibilities, and prophetic of a new Earth to be inhabited every day in full sense-embrace, is ravishingly part of the mix.
24 July
Sun in Leo trine Saturn retrograde in Aries, at 1º
This is quite a self-confident transit that only lasts for one day, so make the most of it. At an Aries degree, this is also an active transit. Whatever you are doing, try to make sure that you are enjoying it and you will have a happy, confident day. Otherwise, there is the tendency to create conflict (just saying).
Venus in Gemini square Mars in Virgo, at 21º
Venus in Gemini wants to talk while Mars in Virgo wants to analyse and critique. A square is a tense aspect. At a Jupiter degree, this is an expansive transit so it could be quite argumentative. Mars-Venus squares are generally about the ‘masculine-feminine’ dichotomy — this doesn’t look like an easy conversation (just saying). Alternatively, today is a very good day for meticulously planning things to do in the future, particularly weddings or a happy social occasion. Another alternative is making sweet love (just saying) — this would be the hot, sweaty, hands-on, earthy kind of love-making that hmmm… (moving on).
I am an artist.
My life is my art.
I weave multi-coloured patterns through the threads of many memories, which bind me to my past and offer me identity.
I sculpt the clay of my mind with clandestine visions of another day, to become someone I wish to be but am not yet.
I paint the colours of my emotions on any canvas that will allow itself to be varnished with my particular hue.
I write to still the aching heart and mischievous mind which, as always, leads me down the narrow, grinding path of reality.
I love so that I may share in someone else’s vision.
I am an artist and my life is my art.
The next new moon is in Leo, on the 25th of July — I’m very happy to say that this new moon is a very benevolent moon phase that is full of potential.

The Outer Planets (part two)
Because Neptune is a large, slow-moving planet, he takes approximately 165 years to complete his orbit around the Sun, and he spends approximately 14 years in each zodiac sign. Neptune rules over watery Pisces in the zodiac. Neptune is a large, mysterious, scary, sad, psychic and spiritual planet that rules over illusions, secrets and the paranormal. Neptune rules over anything that is hidden including crime, illness, depression etc, as well as our suffering and self-undoing. Neptune is a very lonely, isolated and introspective planet, which is exacerbated when Neptune goes retrograde. A prominent Neptune in your chart can be difficult to navigate. However, a well aspected Neptune can show someone who is a prophet, a magician, or a very powerful person.
In the Greek pantheon of gods, Neptune = Poseidon. Poseidon is the god of the sea. He is extremely powerful, like the power of the ocean. In the Reptilian pantheon of gods, Poseidon is Enki Du, the god of trickery (Neptune also represents trickery). Enki is the “father” of mankind (in its current form). Enki is well known as the Reptilian who seeded the human race as reptilian-hybrids, through genetic manipulation. Enki was the first Elohim (in the old testament of the bible) who came to Earth and saw that human women were beautiful. Enki’s story is a very long and complicated tale full of violence and tragedy that I won’t go into here.
When Neptune is direct, he tends to make things confusing or hidden. To transmute that difficult energy, it is important to direct it into spiritual and/or psychic endeavours, otherwise it tends to be expressed through addiction (particularly drugs and alcohol). When Neptune goes retrograde, he tends to make things painfully clear and straight-forward. Neptune is direct in my natal chart but he turned retrograde in my progressed chart, during my lifetime, so I personally know the difference between Neptune direct and retrograde — my early life was a nightmare of addiction and confusion, however, as Neptune turned retrograde in my progressed chart, I became an academic and an independent journalist. Neptune retrograde represents illness and disease, and sickness has been a constant feature of my life ever since Neptune went retrograde in my progressed chart, which is quite annoying because I almost never got sick before that.
Neptune in Scorpio
25 December 1955 - 12 March 1956
20 October 1956 - 4 January 1970
4 May 1970 - 7 November 1970
This is the baby-boomer generation, the largest generation to ever walk the face of the earth. These are the hopeful little post-WW2 babies — they are probably the reincarnations of the lost souls who died in the war and they may be carrying karma that needs to move because of that (just saying). The MK Ultra programme perfectly personifies the negative aspect of Neptune in Scorpio — deep psychological programming, accompanied by sexual torture and trauma for nefarious purposes (which is very Scorpionic indeed). It is no coincidence that the boomer generation is the most CIA-indoctrinated and socially controlled generation ever, but they are also the most privileged generation ever (Scorpio represents other people’s money) and no generation since has been able to rival them.
Neptune is extremely powerful in dark and scary Scorpio, where he is extremely psychic. Scorpio is quite a subversive sign (you can do the math). Be very careful of the boomer generation because they are a collective force to be reckoned with — Scorpios can face the darkness and go to places where others don’t dare to tread. Scorpios think that the rest of us are all just pussy-snowflakes (just saying). Neptune in Scorpio people have the ability to dissolve (Neptune) deep psychological issues (Scorpio), which in turn, dissolves fear (Scorpio), and they make excellent psycho-therapists and counsellors for that reason (if they can transmute all that Scorpionic energy into personal power instead of abusive tendencies which the boomer generation are well-known for).
Neptune in Sagittarius
5 January 1970 - 3 May 1970
7 November 1970 - 20 January 1984
24 June 1984 - 22 November 1984
Moving onto ‘Gen X’ (that’s me), which is represented by Neptune in Sagittarius. The Neptune in Sagittarius generation are quite a confused — Sagittarius represents truth and knowledge and Neptune = illusion and confusion (you can do the math). This is a very spiritual generation, particularly if Neptune is retrograde in their natal charts. They essentially want to create order out of chaos (particularly if Neptune is retrograde in their charts). This generation Neptune is the hangover from the decadence and bullshit of the Neptune in Scorpio generation, and they tend to spend their lives seeking truth and enlightenment. Neptune in Sagittarius wants to learn from the maelstrom of the past, and to establish truth wherever there is ignorance or deception.
Sagittarius is expansive so Gen X’s like to take things (and ideas) apart, in order to find out how they tick. They are likely to travel to foreign countries (Sagittarius) to learn about different cultures or to get lost in anonymity (Neptune). They might even get lost (Neptune) in a foreign country (Sagittarius). I travelled a lot when I was younger and I loved getting lost in the adventure, and I found the anonymity of living in foreign cities to be a breath of fresh air compared to the stifling and smothering energy of living in backwards old New Zealand.
Gen X’s often use drugs (Neptune) to expand their consciousness (Sagittarius). I personally believe that Gen X’s are the most drug afflicted generation of all time. They also tend to get caught up in the illusion (Neptune) of temporary belief systems (Sagittarius), such as gurus and fads. Gen X’s are the mavericks of the zodiacs. They are good at improving things or improvising with what little they have. They can be magicians when it comes to figuring things out. However, they can be quite confounded when it comes to advanced technology which can be well beyond their personal mainframes’ capabilities — this is why they tend to have Neptune in Aquarius children, who tend to laugh at their retarded Gen X parents and their lack of techno skills.
Neptune in Capricorn
20 January 1984 - 23 June 1984
22 November 1984 - 30 January 1998
23 August 1998 - 29 November 1998
Capricorn represents authority and self-discipline, and when Neptune enters Capricorn, that all goes out the window. Capricorn also represents our careers. Neptune in Capricorn people tend to be a bit foggy or vague about the exact nature of their careers. They will either struggle to find something that fits them or they will find careers with Neptunian attributes, such as career criminals or mafioso (just saying). They might also be religious leaders. Other people (particularly their parents) might find Neptune in Capricorn people a bit irritating because they don’t tend to set plans or have any goals — they generally tend to go with the flow, which can be inconvenient if you want set a date or a time with them.
Neptune in Capricorn people want to dissolve established structures. Capricorn is about our status in life and these people basically don’t care about status. They tend to dissolve rigid boundaries such as class systems or rules, wherever they go. It’s just in their nature to ignore social customs and traditional hierarchies. If Neptune is retrograde, they will tend to break down obstacles with a sense of clarity that destroys all illusions. If Neptune is direct, they will tend to dissolve obstacles without effort. They are a breath of fresh air wherever they go because they are not held back by the usual constraints that bind people socially and prevent them from being their true selves. The paradox of Neptune in Capricorn, is that if these people are religious (and many of them will be), they will prefer organized, structured religions and religious ceremonies (Capricorn) to individual or unorthodox approaches. This generation are the priests and imams of the zodiac.
Neptune in Aquarius
30 January 1998 - 23 August 1998
29 November 1998 - 5 April 2011
6 August 2011 - 3 February 2012
These are the little techno geeks whose parents only keep them around for their tech skills (joke). They are often referred to as ‘millenials’ or ‘post-millenials’. All those little blighters who came out of the womb with an ipod or smart phone in their chubby little millennial fingers, were Neptune in Aquarius babies. Take their technology away from them and they essentially lose their identity and their will to live.
The millennials (or those little blighters, as I like to call them) can handle any amount of information or data that for the rest of us, would blow our fragile little minds. They can handle extra-terrestrial knowledge that for the rest of us, would fry our poor little brains. This is particularly so if Neptune was retrograde when they were born. Their poor Gen X parents only keep them around because they can remember the password to the family Netflix account. They are generally good at making themselves indispensable (you have to watch them with that). However, if you ask them to do things that the rest of us think is normal, they start to struggle. With ordinary things like loading the dishwasher (groan) or even walking to school, they tend to have a really hard time (the poor little things). However, what these guys really struggle with is healthy friendships. Is it all that technology distracting them from having normal human relationships? Is it because Neptune dissolves whatever it touches and Aquarius represents friendships? Whatever it is, these little blighters will always tend to struggle to find friend groups that they feel comfortable with, unless of course their friendships are based on giving each other total freedom to surf the internet in peace — it’s something that only millennials truly understand (the internet was invented for millennials, at least according to them). These little blighters have quite a scientific outlook on life, and they are destined to blow our minds when they mature and become analysts, lab technicians or just techno geeks who can remember how to turn the DVD player on — “(groan), DVD’s are so obsolete Mum, you’re so old O.M.G”). Even their spirituality (Neptune) is likely to be quite scientific (Aquarius). They will probably end up worshiping AI, extra-terrestrials or the technology gods — anything is possible with these little blighters.
Neptune in Pisces
5 April 2011 - 5 August 2011
3 February 2012 - 30 March 2025
23 October 2025 - 26 January 2026
This is the truly psychic generation, particularly if Jupiter or the North Node were also in Pisces when they were born, and particularly if Neptune is retrograde in their natal charts. Neptune and Pisces share many of the same interpretations so these guys get a double whammy. Neptune is domicile in Pisces, so he is extremely powerful there. Jupiter is the ancient ruler of Pisces so he is also very powerful in Pisces, and the North Node empowers whatever sign he is in. These poor little guys are so psychic and sensitive that they are simply too beautiful for this world. I don’t know how they cope. I honestly feel sorry for them because the world that they have been born into is far too brutal and raw for their delicate little natures. They will have to learn to harness their psychic and telekinetic abilities at a young age, or the negative influences of Pisces are likely to take over. If these poor little guys aren’t allowed to or God forbid, don’t allow themselves to acknowledge their abilities, they are likely to end up on the receiving end of life. However, this really would be a shame and a waste because they have so much to give. These poor little ones have really been dumped in the sewer pit of life, with world events as they currently are.
The Neptune in Pisces generation will be extremely spiritual in their outlook on life. They will also tend to be charity-minded. They are high priests and high priestesses of the zodiac. They are the shamans that fly with the eagles and hunt with the wolves. They have a personal connection to God, if they are that way inclined. They are the knowledge bearers and when all else is lost, they will have the answers that humanity needs. We are truly blessed to have these little ones, and I fear that so many of them will be lost to the harsh realities of life. Our world is currently a cesspit and these blessed ones are the bridge to the new world because they are the visionaries who can see unlimited potentials and possibilities — and if you can see it in your mind, you can manifest it in reality.
Neptune in Aries
31 March 2025 - 22 October 2025
27 January 2026 - 22 October 2038
22 March 2039 - 17 December 2039
Neptune does not like being in Aries much. Neptune represents the cold, deep ocean and Aries represents heat and fire. Aries is all about confidence and when Neptune enters Aries, that all flies out the window. These poor little things are going to have serious identity (Aries) crises (Neptune). Who am I? Why do I exist? What is my purpose in life? However, these little ones will be a breath of fresh air because they won’t lead with their egos. They will tend to naturally drop their shit and be themselves, once they age a little and become comfortable with their beautiful, benign and non-intrusive little selves. Until then, they are likely to suffer from lack of confidence and self-worth (the poor little things).
Neptune in Aries represents lack of water and is likely to create droughts — I foresee water becoming quite scarce and valuable while Neptune is in Aries. Neptune also represents death and Aries represents war and conflict — you can do the math. Neptune in Aries also represents the fog of war, or alternatively, the dissolution of war (as a positive interpretation). While Neptune is retrograde in Aries, expect the facts to become painfully clear. While Neptune is direct in Aries, there might be a tendency to actively mislead or deceive. Neptune in Aries people might also suffer from subconscious trauma, i.e. trauma from birth or early childhood. This might cause them long-term problems that can only be addressed under hypnosis (because Neptune represents the subconscious mind). They might have suffered from difficult illnesses as small children, or illness might plague them throughout their lives (particularly if Neptune is retrograde). They might suffer from afflictions or blemishes on their faces — Aries represents your face. Either way, these little ones will teach humanity how to get over themselves, and they will be a much needed antidote to the superficial, fake, glamour that we currently accept as normal.

The Outer Planets (part one)
According to ancient mythology (which dates back to antiquity), Jupiter, the asteroid belt, Mars and the Earth were all once part of a large and very beautiful, lush, green planet, named Tiamat (which was destroyed by intergalactic nuclear warfare), and the Moon is a hollowed-out planet that was brought here by extra-terrestrials to create seasons on Earth, like Tiamat once had. The Earth’s original name is Urantia, which I believe means ‘little Uranus’.
There are different ways of determining the difference between inner and outer planets. For example, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto orbit outside of the asteroid belt, unlike the much smaller, faster-moving planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) which all orbit inside of the asteroid belt. However, sidereal or Ayurvedic astrology determines outer planets by whether they can be seen with the naked eye, or not — because Jupiter and Saturn can sometimes be seen without a telescope, only Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are considered ‘outer’ planets in Ayurvedic astrology. Because these outer planets are ‘hidden’ from view, Ayurvedic astrology assigns them more of an ethereal, subconscious or spiritual role, where they tend to hide in the background and have generational effects, rather than a direct impact on our lives. However, this theory is arguable since telescopes have become commonplace. It could therefore be argued that modern technology is the reason that the outer planets have a more direct effect on our lives and our psyches than before.
I work with tropical (or Western) astrology, and it works for me. However, sidereal or (Ayurvedic) astrology, which is based on a map of the fixed stars is quite a beautiful system to work with.
I am only focusing on the three most outer planets here (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto), and for the sake of simplicity, I consider Pluto a planet in astrological terms regardless of its astronomical status. I describe these three outer planets as ‘generational’ because they are slow moving, so they tend to stay in the same sign for a significant amount of time, so large groups of people share the same aspect in their natal charts. I find this generational effect quite fascinating. For example, Neptune takes approximately fourteen years to traverse a zodiac sign, and Neptune in Sagittarius roughly corresponds to Generation X...
Uranus rules over technology, science (actual science, not bullshit science), anything electrical, modern and/or futuristic. Uranus also rules over anything strange and/or shocking, including alien visitation and technology, and artificial intelligence etc. Uranus is the weirdo of the zodiac. His orbit is going backwards and he’s tilted sideways is so he’s a bit different and a bit odd. He doesn’t fit in anywhere — try being an Aquarius Sun like me (Uranus rules Aquarius). Uranus, “could you please try to be normal”? Uranus replies “nah, fuck you, I like being different”.
In ancient mythology, Uranus and Zeus were brothers. Both Zeus and Uranus were eaten by their father Cronus (or Saturn). Zeus and Uranus narrowly escaped death by breaking their way out of their father’s stomach. They then killed their father and Zeus went on to become the King of the gods. Zeus is Anu Du in the ancient pantheon of Reptilian ‘gods’. Ancient mythology can be very dark indeed. In astrology, Uranus is the rebel of the zodiac. He wants change at any costs, and he gets bored when things become static or stagnant. He is the bad-boy ‘rebel without a cause’, of the zodiac, and things can get kinda hectic when he is hitting your natal or progressed chart. Wherever Uranus is in your chart, is the area where you tend to rebel against outside forces. My natal Uranus is in Libra, in the eighth house, so I tend to rebel against social norms when it comes to relationships (Libra) and sex (eighth house) — that’s true. When Uranus is direct in your chart, you tend to be outwardly rebellious and chaos tends to come from external forces. When Uranus is retrograde (i.e. going backwards in the sky from Earth’s perspective) in your chart, he can be extremely psychic and very intelligent. Uranus retrograde people (like me) tend to be more introspective and detached on a personal level. They are in their own little world for much of the time. People with Uranus retrograde in their chart are probably communing with dead people and aliens in their heads — just saying. Uranus is retrograde in my chart and I have found that if you use Uranus’ cool detachment in difficult situations, I can more easily avoid the mental instability that Uranus retrograde can represent. Uranus retrograde people tend to be more outwardly stable, while their minds are completely hectic (that’s me). In contrast, Uranus direct people tend to be more mentally solid and stable but they enjoy shifts and changes as they tend to get bored if they are stuck in one place for too long.
Uranus in Aries
29 May 2010 - 14 August 2010
13 March 2011 - 16 May 2018
7 November 2018 - 6 March 2019
Uranus in Aries, is the warrior. These little rug rats will still be children now, however, they will soon grow up and change the world. Watch out for these little blighters (because they will run the world one day). Give them lots of cuddles, don’t bruise their egos, and try to teach them patience and responsibility, and we might all be ok.
Aries is hot and fiery, confident, and full of himself. He fights and starts wars because he stands up for what is righteous. He also likes to fight and start wars. Uranus wants to change the world, and Aries is active and impatient enough to do it. Aries wants things to happen now, and so does Uranus. They have important things to do.
Uranus in Taurus
16 May 2018 - 6 November
6 March 2019 - 7 July 2025
9 November 2025 - 26 April 2026
Quick-thinking, energetic and rebellious Uranus hates being in stubborn, boring, old Taurus. Taurus wants to stabilize whatever she touches, whereas Uranus wants to shake things up. Uranus can find Taurus extremely frustrating. However, the good news is that when Uranus is weak, his ability to wreak havoc in our lives is restricted (a strong Uranus can get quite hectic).
When Uranus is in Taurus, his attempts to make radical changes are slow and methodical, but incredibly determined.
Children born during Uranus in Taurus will be very solid little units indeed. They will be the type who tenaciously stick at projects, no matter what. They will tend to be very good employees and they will probably work hard all their lives. They will tend to avoid rocking the boat. Uranus in Taurus people will likely be clever with stocks and trades. They will also have a natural affinity with the land, particularly if Uranus is retrograde in their charts. They will tend to enjoy getting their hands into the dirt, and/or working on geological or landscaping projects.
Uranus has been in Taurus since 2018 — examples of his influence include genetic modification (Uranus) of food production (Taurus), and surgical modification (Uranus) of our natural bodies (Taurus). These attempts have not been very successful because Uranus is weak in Taurus. However, Uranus has been successful in destabilizing our financial markets (Taurus).
Uranus in Gemini
8 July 2025 - 8 November 2025
27 April 2026 - 3 August 2032
13 December 2032 - 22 May 2033
Uranus loves being in fast-paced and intellectual Gemini, where his electrical impulses tend to keep the neurons firing in our brain. Uranus rules over explosions and Gemini represents the mind and learning (you can do the math). Intellectual development is a key feature of Uranus in Gemini. Alternatively, Uranus in Gemini can be erratic and mentally unstable — there is a very fine line between genius and insanity.
Uranus in Gemini people are likely to be extremely intelligent, quick-thinkers. They might be very good communicators, or they might be genius’ like Albert Einstein. These people might also be quite mentally erratic and unpredictable. The mad professor or mad scientist is a good representation of Uranus in Gemini, particularly if Uranus is direct. They will be able to talk your ear off, unless Uranus is retrograde, then they will tend to think too much (and break their brains). If Uranus is retrograde and these people are not intellectuals or academics of some kind, they are likely to be batshit crazy, or their intellect might be special or different in some way — savants are an example. Either way, they are likely to be techno-wizzes or computer geeks, and they will always be evolving their ideas in their minds.
Uranus represents alien visitation and Gemini represents contact and communication. The Roswell incident happened in 1947 — the last time Uranus was in Gemini (just saying). This time also introduced the first atomic explosions, in modern history. When Uranus trines Pluto (with Neptune in the mix), from mid-August to early October 2025, expect a massive upgrade in technological advancements that will focus on computing or mind-power. Uranus will trine Pluto again in July 2026.
Uranus in Cancer
4 August 2032 - 12 December 2032
23 May 2033 - 6 August 2039
25 February 2040 - 15 May 2040
Uranus in Cancer represents turbulence, in a nutshell. Cancer represents the ocean and Uranus represents all those wild ocean currents swirling and waves crashing on the shore. The Moon’s reflection on a calm sea is the epitome of Cancer. Then Uranus comes in and destabilizes the scene and that perfect moment of clarity is disturbed. Emotional instability is a feature of this transit.
Cancer represents mothers, and women in general. Uranus in Cancer people will have powerful emotions that want to drive change with an unstoppable force, like the power of the ocean. Uranus in Cancer represents the feminist movement perfectly. It also represents rebellion against the nuclear family (for better or worse). During the last transit, electrical appliances began to alter the home — televisions, washing machines etc. This time might also represent alternative housing of some kind. Uranus in Cancer represents modern architecture (some of it was hideous, not gonna lie). Uranus in Cancer people are likely to gravitate towards a home that is odd in some way. They might choose to live on a yacht for example. They might even be sailors. Either way, they will be deep thinkers with big hearts, and powerful forces behind them.
Uranus in Leo
24 August 1955 - 28 January 1956
11 June 1956 - 1 November 1961
10 January 1962 - 10 August 1962
Leo is all about feeling good about ourselves, and what makes us feel proud and confident. Then, Uranus comes along and fucks it all up, basically. Alternatively, Uranus in Leo represents being proud of being different. He is the true James Dean ‘rebel without a cause’ and proud of it. Leo is also about parenting, particularly fatherhood — Uranus in Leo represents absent fathers and the backlash against the feminist movement (while Uranus was in Cancer). Leo is all about fame and fortune so expect shifts and changes where celebrities are concerned, during this transit.
Uranus in Leo people are either loud and proud, and harbouring a level of inner self-confidence that resembles tempered steel (Uranus direct), or they tend to be detached and cool on the outside while harbouring their self-consciousness and nervousness on the inside (Uranus retrograde).
Uranus in Virgo
2 November 1961 - 9 January 1962
11 August 1962 - 28 September 1968
21 May 1969 - 25 June 1969
Virgo is a very practical and stable earth sign. It’s also a very analytical and hardworking sign. However, when Uranus enters Virgo, that all goes out the window. Their mental analysis will be all over the place, but somehow they will manage to pull off miracles. They might be flat-broke but somehow they manage to live quite comfortably. They seem to pull miracles out of their asses (once they learn how to use the magical potential that they possess). If they find that things aren’t working out for them (and I expect that they often find themselves in crisis situations), they are quite capable of pulling themselves out of nose-dives, as if by magic. They are the magicians of the zodiac, and they can turn almost anything into anything, so long as they believe in themselves.
Uranus in Virgo people are the handy men and women of the zodiac. They might be engineers or garage tinkerers. As a general rule, they can fix anything. Whatever they can create in their minds, they can manifest through working towards that goal. Alternatively, their lives might be completely chaotic, particularly if Uranus is direct. Uranus in Virgo people can also destroy anything they touch — they might be in the demolition industry (for example).
Uranus in Libra
29 September 1968 - 20 May 1969
25 June 1969 - 21 November 1974
2 May 1975 - 8 September 1975
This is my generation (I was born in 1974). Libra is all about relationships and Uranus wants to stir things up. Librans are generally gentle, well-balanced souls but then Uranus comes along and smashes their finely balanced scales. Uranus in Libra people struggle with stability in relationships, or they struggle with traditional concepts of relationships. In a nutshell, they don’t want to be tied down in the traditional sense, and in general, they will rebel against stifling, boring or controlling relationships. They might prefer alternative or open arrangements (no judgement). Libra also represents the adversarial part of the court system and Uranus in Libra people tend to make excellent lawyers.
Uranus in Libra people might find themselves being perpetually single, or preferring to stay single. If Uranus is direct, they might have a continuous string of relationships that don’t work out, but they are generally ok with that because they value their freedom above all else. In relationships, they can be extremely cold and detached — their jealousy burns cold not hot (just saying). They will generally rebel against the structure of a nuclear family, or they will feel uncomfortable if they find themselves in a conventional arrangement. In my case, I raised my children on my own for a very long time and I preferred it that way. To be fair to me, my children’s fathers weren’t good relationship material and our ideas about parenting weren’t compatible. To be fair to them, I probably wasn’t good relationship material either because I valued my freedom above their companionship (cold!). I have always gravitated towards partners and lifestyles, who are unconventional or different in some way.
Uranus retrograde people are better at long-term relationships than Uranus direct people. Uranus direct people are the ‘runners’ so of the zodiac, however, Uranus retrograde people are can be too cold and detached for healthy relationships to form. Having said that, Uranus retrograde people can be so loyal that they often stay with one person long after the end of the end of the relationship. Either way, Uranus in Libra people find it much easier to detach and walk away than other signs. I tend to resolve conflicts by detaching from them and that seems to work for me. However, when Uranus in Libra people find their person, they can be quite magical in relationships, but that will depend on when they are ready to settle down.
Uranus in Scorpio
21 November 1974 - 1 May 1975
8 September 1975 - 17 February 1981
20 March 1981 - 16 November 1981
Uranus is exalted in Scorpio so his chaos-inducing properties are extremely powerful in Scorpio. Scorpio represents our darkness inside. Scorpio is a very dark and scary sign (it is also a very important and necessary sign). Because Uranus is so powerful in Scorpio, it is very important navigate it carefully, if you have this aspect in your chart. If you happen to meet a Uranus in Scorpio person while walking down a dark alleyway, slowly turn around and start walking the other way. If you have double-crossed a Uranus in Scorpio person, only God can help you.
Uranus in Scorpio is psychic (in a nutshell), particularly if Uranus is retrograde. Uranus in Scorpio people are the high priests and priestesses of the zodiac, however, Scorpio has a dark Satanic sting in his tail if you are not very careful. These people are very powerful magicians if they can harness their darkness and focus on transmuting that transformative energy into power in the real world. They are going to have to be researchers, investigators, psychotherapists, spies, miners, cavers, prostitutes, tax collectors, debt collectors, embalmers or something along any of those lines to avoid the more negative connotations of this aspect (which are extremely dark and scary). What they use all of that power for will depend on their karma and their decisions. My advice is to never mess with a Uranus in Scorpio person because revenge tends to be an artform for them (ouch!).
Uranus in Sagittarius
17 February 1981 - 20 March 1981
16 November 1981 - 15 February 1988
27 May 1988 - 2 December 1988
Uranus in Sagittarius are the free spirits and the travellers of the zodiac. Sagittarius wants to roam free and Uranus likes shifts and changes. Imagine all those travel influencers before Covid changed the travel industry forever. Wanderlust is a feature of this aspect, particularly if Uranus is direct. If Uranus is retrograde, their wanderlust is more likely to be in their minds. They love internet rabbit holes (just saying). Uranus in Sagittarius people seem to collect knowledge out of the ether, particularly if Uranus is retrograde. These people could be particularly brilliant academics and/or teachers. They are the truth seekers and philosophers of the zodiac, and they are generally willing to stand up and be counted when it comes to sharing their knowledge. If they are not perpetually on a quest of some kind, they will easily get bored and disturb the peace. When these people are busy and active and/or working on projects, they will be benevolent and carefree. When forced to stay in one place or become stagnant, all hell could break loose.
Uranus in Capricorn
16 February 1988 - 26 May 1988
3 December 1988 - 2 April 1995
10 June 1995 - 12 January 1996
These people should probably be in the demolition business. All those buildings exploding into piles of rubble represents Uranus in Capricorn perfectly. Lucky for us, electrical Uranus is weak in earthy Capricorn. Capricorn represents structures and rigidly structured organisations. This is why Capricorn represents the government and other types of authoritarian control. The mafia or the criminal underbelly also represents Uranus in Capricorn very well. These people are generally very tough. They would make excellent soldiers or police officers. Capricorn is hard and formal, while Uranus gives Capricorn an edge that makes it particularly dangerous. Alternatively, Uranus in Capricorn people might have unusual careers. They might be politicians even, but expect them to be a bit radical. They might even be subversive and want to bring the government down. Alternatively, they could be good builders, great academics, or they could be in the technological or military defence industry. Either way, they will want to be in a career where they can use their minds and ingenuity.
Uranus in Aquarius
3 April 1995 - 9 June 1995
13 January 1996 - 10 March 2003
14 September 2003 - 30 December 2003
Uranus is domicile (at home) in Aquarius so he is very comfortable and very powerful there. That is not necessarily a good thing, particularly for Uranus in Aquarius people because a powerful Uranus can wreak havoc in our lives. These are the true radicals and free thinkers of the zodiac. They see things differently and they generally have a knack for seeing the future, including how to improve things for future use. They think a lot and mental visualization is a great tool that they can use. They will be surprised at how easily they can manifest and manipulate reality with their minds, once they believe in themselves. These are also the cold-hearted bastards who can walk out at a moment’s notice and never look back. They will be freedom seekers who refuse to be tied down. They might rebel for the sake of rebelling (or because they are just bored). They will feel uncomfortable being around or part of the status quo. They probably talk to aliens and ghosts (just saying). They should probably use tarot cards or some other means of divination because they will likely get good results. We should probably leave them to it and ask them what the gods say to them when they come back down for a breather every now and then.
Uranus in Pisces
11 March 2003 - 13 September 2003
30 December 2003 - 28 May 2010
14 August 2010 - 12 March 2011
Pisces is all about the psychic realm. Uranus is too, particularly if he is retrograde (Uranus in Pisces is extremely psychic). Pisces is also about our subconscious minds. This is where addictions stem from. Pisces also represents suffering and self-undoing. Uranus in Pisces people might suffer from heavy addiction issues or they might simply be reckless with their lives and or decisions. Uranus represents recklessness. They might suddenly find themselves homeless or hospitalized or imprisoned (Pisces represents hospitals and prisons). They might be criminals, however, the definition of criminal is complex. They might also be musical genius’. Either way, these people will like to keep to themselves, to be busy in their own minds and left to their own devices. These are the psychics and religious fanatics of the zodiacs. These people are deeply spiritual and they probably have a first-person relationship with God (even if they have nothing in the real world). Uranus in Pisces is a difficult aspect to have because it means that your karma is chaotic or deeply complicated. Finding God is truly the only answer that I have found for dealing with difficult Pisces energy (I have a lot of it in my chart).

New Moon, 25 June 2025
Cancer
Welcome to The Apocalypse. I am your host, and this is the Marama (Moon) Report for the new moon in Cancer, on the 25th of June 2025. New moons represent new beginnings and new moon energy lasts for approximately two weeks (until the following full moon). New moons are the best time to do affirmations and to set intentions for the future.
This is a very Cancerian new moon indeed. Firstly, Cancer is ruled by the Moon (which happens to be in Cancer). This new moon (i.e. the Moon conjunct the Sun) is also at a Cancer degree! This new moon is also conjunct Jupiter (by one degree), and Jupiter expands whatever he touches. Not only that but expansive Jupiter is exalted in moody, sensitive Cancer, so he is extremely powerful there. Jupiter is at a Gemini degree, so communication is likely to be a feature of the next two weeks. The Moon in Cancer represents the Mother Goddess — she represents your Mama and women in general. Her love is unconditional and knows no bounds.
Expansive Jupiter conjunct the Moon perfectly signifies the Great Mother Goddess of ancient history. Cancer is a very feminine sign — Cancer (and the Moon) represent the Goddess (i.e. the female counterpart to God, Allah, Rangi…) that has been lost to the annals of time. The Goddess (or Sophia) is neglected across multiple male-dominated religions, and Her place as the conduit between nature and humanity has been degraded and disregarded. In Christianity (at least), our divine Mother has been relegated to forced virginity and asexuality. In Western society (at least), femininity has become a contrived version of artificial beauty and superficiality.
Ancient matriarchal societies have vanished and been replaced by patriarchal societies. In our modern times, misogyny and transgenderism have adopted the most banal and excessive aspects of a distorted fake femininity, and motherhood has devolved into subservience, slavery and artificial insemination. Historically, the Great Mother Goddess was a mother in the true sense of the word — She was a sex queen, and She had so many children that her breasts hung down around her naval. She was so fat (by modern beauty standards) that She had no problem breastfeeding all of her demanding little babies. Being fat (by our standards) was her beauty and her power. She did not care about going to the gym or the beauty parlour (she had far too many children to take care of for any of that nonsense). She was (and still is) a big, beautiful and proud Mama because She is a perpetually pregnant sphere of shared possibilities.

There are a number of male significators in this chart. Firstly, Jupiter (which is tightly conjunct the new moon) represents husbands in general. Jupiter conjunct the Moon represents a husband and wife. In Cancer, they are either in love or at home together (or both). Mars in Virgo is sextile the new moon in Cancer and trine the Earth in Capricorn (exactly), at a Cancer degree. This is quite a nice transit that represents doing the housework and getting all those annoying little errands done, including weeding the garden and picking the kids up from school.
Pluto retrograde in Aquarius is inconjunct Jupiter exactly, and the new moon by one degree. Pluto retrograde is extremely introverted and represents our deepest, darkest fears and our psychological conditioning. An inconjunction means that something needs to shift for us to be our best selves (Jupiter in Cancer). Perhaps, we are worried about our children and/or our partners. Because Pluto is in Aquarius, perhaps we are worried about issues of autonomy and personal freedom. Perhaps, we are worried about their friend-groups or community (Aquarius). Something needs to shift and only you know what it is. If you have 3º in your natal or progressed chart, this transit will affect you the most.
The biggest problem that I see with this chart is that Saturn and Neptune in Aries form a tight t-square with Jupiter and the new moon in Cancer, and the Earth in Capricorn. This is a very powerful and tense aspect. Saturn and Neptune appear to be trying to prevent something from happening or to cut something down — that something could include: new beginnings (new moon), families and family stability in general (Jupiter in Cancer), or misogyny could be rearing its ugly head (Saturn in Aries). Saturn represents the antithesis of his opposite sign of Cancer — Saturn can be a cold, hard bastard while Cancer represents love, particularly maternal love. However, both Saturn and Neptune are weak in Aries while both Jupiter and the Moon are very powerful in Cancer. Neptune is also cancelling Saturn out somewhat. Therefore, love will win out in the end but it will have some enemies or adversaries to deal with before that. As always, the only way through a t-square is to focus on the missing corner, which happens to be in Libra (love). Libra is about relationships and harmonious relations. Libra deals with the public and public relations — you might want to go public about something if you are being bullied, particularly if you are being bullied by authorities (Saturn). Libra also deals with the courts and adjudication, so you may be taking something to court. Either way, Libra’s primary objective is to achieve social harmony and peaceful relationships by establishing or maintaining balance. Libra also represents the Maori concept of utu (i.e.rebalancing,) which loosely translates as the Western concept of revenge (just saying).
Be wary of Chiron at the end of Aries square Mercury at the end of Cancer (by two degrees), as this could lead to some painful arguments. To relieve this tension, we might need to talk about our feelings (Mercury in Cancer) and the burning pain that we are feeling (Chiron in Aries). Uranus at the anaretic degree of Taurus sextile Mercury in Cancer (by one degree), wants to end something that is affecting us emotionally. Because Uranus is in Taurus, we might be working on ending something that is well-established.
Chiron in late Aries sextile Ceres retrograde in Aquarius at a Pisces degree shows that something is hurting our Mother Earth/Papatuanuku/Papa. Ceres the asteroid, represents the Earth and when she is retrograde, something is wrong. God knows how damaged and in pain the Earth, Herself is — she has been mortally wounded by corporate capitalism and war-mongering. Ceres also represents mothers. Because Ceres is sextile Chiron, mothers are hurting at the moment — we need to take extra special care of our Mum’s during this time. Mothers in particular can be left powerless and defenceless in the face of social and political aggression — mothers are particularly defenceless again male dominance and violence (Saturn and Neptune in Aries).
The only power that a mother has in some situations, is her inner strength and her love for her children. This is generally when mothers fail or faulter because they can’t carry the burden that has become too heavy for them, and some mothers are better than others. The only power that women can rely on in some situations, is their intuition, their inner wisdom and Earth magick, and God knows that many of us have been burnt at the stake for that, throughout our past lives. Earth magick is a woman’s birthright. Women are the natural conduits of Earth magick but men are not necessarily excluded from it. Earth magick involves protection spells or rituals but it NEVER overrides another’s free will (this is why I don’t agree with casting love spells — they can be extremely harmful, in my opinion). Visualisation and positive affirmations are far more powerful than we often realise, and powerful, healing and earthing energy comes directly from our Great Earth Mother. Spending time in nature is always beneficial to our psyches, but it will be particularly beneficial during this powerful Cancer new moon. This is a very good time to honour our Earth/Papatuanuku and/or our Moon/Marama, or to do protection rituals to show them how much we love and appreciate their benevolent feminine presence in our lives.
Cancer also represents our hot tears of grief that need to flow before healing can happen. Cancer represents love at the end of the day. There is a proverb that says ‘the pain we feel is the love we withhold’ — this represents Cancer implicitly. Emotions need to flow to be healthy but modern society oppresses us and prevents us from doing this — this is a very unhealthy way to live, particularly because most of us have been very deeply traumatised by patriarchal society (over multiple lifetimes). Sun in Cancer people are generally gentle and loving beings, but when they get hurt they become viciously self-protective and they bottle up their emotions. When this happens, Cancers can become very angry and vengeful little crabs indeed, i.e. toxic femininity. Perhaps, we need to learn how to love without receiving anything in return. Perhaps, we need to learn to love ourselves. Humanity is so heartbroken that it is irreparable but hope is not lost if we still know how to love (and we do).
The next full moon is in Capricorn, on the 11th of July. Just a heads-up — Uranus moves into Gemini on the 8th of July (see transits below).
4º of Cancer
Weeping willows by a pond
Remembering ... oh so many things ... the personal, the collective, the ancestral-karmic stories everywhere. Held transfixed by the overshadowing of the stories, you seek shelter in the confines of the familiar. Layer upon layer of allegiance and sentiment, memory and realization. A certain habit of going back to the beginning. Magnetized by what you feel to be your own sphere of existence. Wishing to stay there and rest undisturbed, in the rippling waves of pasts sensed and followed. You keep the home fires burning in a vigil of being fragrantly tied in with your many pasts, so that there is no room for anything else, as what has always been continues in yet another variation, in enchanted life-force dreaming onward.
33. Faeries of the Future (reversed)
Stuck in the past. Looking at the past.
59. The Bodacious Bodach
Analysis.
This reading is pretty straightforward. When the ‘Faeries of the Future’ are upright, they are looking at the future but when they are reversed, they are still working on the past. Bodach (the Bodacious) is looking at the ‘Faeries of the Past’ with a mind for analysing the past. Bodach often looks like he is only just narrowly avoiding something. Perhaps, he is trying to get away with something he did in the past. Perhaps, he is hiding from something. Either way, these cards are saying that something from the past is coming up for analysis. Perhaps, the universe is giving us an opportunity to correct something that either went wrong in the past, or wasn’t done correctly in the first place.
Mako (Shark)
Mako both fascinates and frightens. We thrill to the power of this predator of the ocean. We know it as danger unseen, as death moving with savage intent within the waters of the shore. We are in the one moment, drawn and repelled. When Mako cruises silently into your life, it visits from the place of the North Wind, the realm of the mind. It invites you to face fear hidden deep within the unconscious mind and call it to the surface. It calls up fears born of harsh childhood experiences; incidents long lost to the conscious mind, but are still seeded deep in the dark recesses of memory. These experiences lodge in the shadow world of the unseen, the realm where the imagination runs riot, the place where fear feeds on fear to grow tall.
Other fears nurtured in unresolved guilt, in grief held too close for tears, and anger long suppressed, gather about them a huge burden of pain. These later layers often sit across the memories of the child and sometimes intermesh to entwine the little one and the adult in disjoined facets of time that capture us in unnamed terror. Mako invites you to go to the river that is your life and call up your fears. It is time to bring together the conscious and unconscious mind, to go beyond ego and allow the shadowlands to be revealed. It asks us to remember that the hidden mind is the place where we hold the power of magic and the place that is home to the wise one within. It is where we hide both our fears and our greatest treasure. It is time to bring them out together. Call up your fears, face them, walk through them, cry out to them to do what they will, and see how empty they really are. Forgive them, embrace them with love and let them go for they are mere shadows, distortions of the truth, pain given too much power. By bringing them into the light we are set free. Only then may the child, the youth, and the adult, walk as one in liberty (Barry Brailsford).
48. The Well
A well represents a deep source of inexhaustible energy to use for transformation to enrich your life. This is a time of reaching to the source, whether imagination, spirituality or resources. The more you reach, the better the outcome. The more you put in, the more you will receive back. Beware of shallow thinking or expectations, particularly in relationships. It may be time to go deeply within to find the source of your own nourishment.
Line one
The mud at the bottom of the well is not nourishing to drink but is useful for growing lotuses. Work on patterns of behaviour to emerge into more purified states later. The mind easily becomes confused when preoccupied with trivialities or phantoms. Start living your life but foolhardy endeavours are a waste of time.
5. Waiting
Another name for this hexagram is Patience. It is not yet time to express your creativity. Instead allow the energy to build. Learn to flow with the Tao and remain sincere in your intent, and difficulties will be overcome. Be like a good fisherman waiting for a fish to bite. It will come in its own good time, whether you like it or not. A show of strength in this particular situation comes from waiting quietly and resolutely. Stick to your current path. To rush ahead or force results now will only stimulate resistance. Impatience will generate anxiety. Agitation is natural but abandoning your efforts will show weakness. Take this time for quiet contemplation instead. Patience is a powerful force.
Transits
26 June
Mercury in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus, at 29º
This is an ending of some kind (29º), and communication (Mercury) is involved somehow. Alternatively, we are making solid changes (Uranus in Taurus), by expressing ourselves from a very authentic part of our souls or working on ourselves to heal our hurt feelings (Mercury in Cancer). Today is a complex day so be wary of getting involved in conflict because it could escalate out of control. However, today is also a good day to put something to rest permanently, particularly if you are burying something in the earth — this is a good transit to do a burial ritual under.
Jupiter in Cancer inconjunct Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, at 3º
Something needs to shift here. At a Gemini degree, this transit could represent a very explosive, emotional argument — my advice is to get the fuck out of the way of any conflict today, because there is some very deep dark shit going on here. A deep and meaningful conversation might be necessary but try to take it easy because there are multiple difficult transits happening today.
Sun in Cancer sextile Mars in Virgo, at 4º
This is a very stay at home transit, however, you might want to do some home improvements or housework (Mars in Virgo), particularly cleaning (Sun in Cancer). Plan to stay at home today or try to keep busy with organisation and chores wherever you are, or whatever you are doing.
27 June
Sun in Cancer sextile Mars in Virgo, at 5º
This is the same transit as above but at a Leo degree, so this is a very lazy, feel-good Sunday to stay at home, preferably in bed with your lover (just saying). Alternatively, today is a good day to enjoy doing housework (if you can).
Venus in Taurus sextile True Node in Pisces, at 21º
This is a very nice transit. Venus is in her element and actively working towards her future. At an expansive and benevolent Sagittarius degree, this is another feel-good transit. It is also a good day to travel overseas (Jupiter degree and True Node in Pisces).
28 June
Sun in Cancer sextile Mars in Virgo, at 6º
This is definitely a housework or cleaning day, or prepare to be irritable (not gonna lie).
Mercury in Leo trine Saturn in Aries, at 1º
This is an easy-going but active transit to get busy with — things should flow smoothly if you work with others (Mercury in Leo) to get things done (Saturn in Aries). Building or renovation work (Saturn in Aries) would be a good use of this energy.
29 June
Mercury in Leo trine Neptune in Aries, at 2º
This transit has fame written all over it. Mercury in Leo is the entertainer. Neptune represents anything to do with illusions, i.e. the movie industry, Hollyweird, and all of its attached sub-cultures. If you are able to do something you enjoy today, it should have long-lasting effects.
30 June
Mercury in Leo opposite Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, at 3º
This is a day where feeling good about yourself might be difficult. Pluto retrograde wants to drag us down into some deep, dark ugly emotional or psychological stuff, while Mercury in Leo is friendly, and wants to feel confident and relaxed. Today might be a good day to find happiness inside yourself rather than look for it externally.
1 July
Venus in Taurus semi-sextile Chiron in Aries, at 26º
Today, we might just need to put our most fabulous selves forward even if we are not feeling like it. You might feel like something is wrong today or you might be struggling with self-confidence. A Taurus degree is saying that if you push through fear or self-confidence, you will be fine.
2 July
Sun in Cancer trine Lilith in Scorpio, at 10º
Today is a day where you may just need to push through some difficult emotions. The Sun in Cancer is sensitive and emotional while Lilith in Scorpio is volatile and angry — we all have days like this (luckily this transit only lasts for one day). At a Capricorn degree, we might just need to knock those feelings on the head to get through the day.
5 July
Venus moves into Gemini
When Venus moves into chatty Gemini, communication becomes much easier and more fluid. Venus in Gemini likes to go shopping and be out and about. You might enjoy driving (Gemini) during this transit. This is a very easy transit that will last until the 1st of August, when Venus will move into Cancer and make a tense square to the Neptune-Saturn conjunction in Aries.
Neptune goes retrograde in Aries, at 2º
Neptune is a very introspective planet, however, when Neptune goes retrograde he becomes even more introspective. When Neptune goes retrograde, he is generally going backwards in time to clarify something. When Neptune is direct, he represents illusion and self-delusion. When Neptune goes retrograde, he tends to make things painfully clear — Neptune is psychic beyond belief and even more so when he is retrograde. Don’t be surprised if secrets and lies are exposed through psychic means while Neptune is retrograde (until December 2025). Neptune usually goes backwards (i.e. retrograde) to rectify deception or to expose secrets. At a Taurus degree, he is going to be stubborn and determined about it (warning!).
Neptune will travel back to the anaretic degree of Pisces, which represents a final ending so be very careful of deception or hidden information because it could lead to your downfall (just saying). On the other hand, if you have been on the receiving end of deception or lies, now would be the time to work towards correcting that information. 29º is a very karmic degree (just saying).
6 July
Mercury in Leo semi-sextile Mars in Virgo, at 10º
This is a great transit to focus on your career and/or moving forward. A Capricorn degree is about our status in life and/or our careers (otherwise it can be a very difficult degree that restricts or controls us). Mercury in Leo is confident while Mars in Virgo wants to get the job done. A semi-sextile means that these two energies are operating simultaneously. This would be a good day for a job interview or for starting a new career. Capricorn can also be quite the authoritarian, so perhaps we need to be the boss today, in order to get some work done.
Venus in Gemini sextile Saturn in Aries, at 1º
Venus in Gemini wants to shut down conflict and so does Saturn in Aries. This is quite an active transit (a sextile and an Aries degree). This is a transit where applying honey rather than vinegar will help transactions and interactions run smoothly.
7 July
Venus in Gemini sextile Neptune retrograde in Aries, at 2º
This is quite a nice, gentle transit. Neptune retrograde is extremely introverted (and more than a little bit psychic). Venus in Gemini wants peace and harmony. At a Taurus degree, this is a very stable peace of mind transit. Enjoy the easy flow of benevolent internal energy today.
7-8 July
Mars in Virgo sextile Lilith in Scorpio, at 11º
This is quite a radical transit. It is at an Aquarius degree so there is either a separation or some kind of rebellion going on. Mars in Virgo can be extremely cold and calculating, while Lilith in Scorpio is angry and generally just wants to cause trouble. A sextile is an active degree. This transit is a great time to break free of something that is affecting you peace of mind. Perhaps, getting angry or breaking free of the status quo is justified during this time. Or perhaps, we just need to allow ourselves the luxury of being grumpy until this awkward transit passes.
8 July
Mercury in Leo semi-sextile Mars in Virgo and square Lilith in Scorpio, at 11º
This is one of those gnarly little transits, with three planetary bodies at the same degree. This is quite an angry little transit (not gonna lie). Lilith in Scorpio sextile Mars in Virgo is very angry indeed. Mercury in Leo is confidence personified (perhaps, a little too confident). At an Aquarius degree, a separation from someone or something that is causing disharmony may be a healthy approach today.
Uranus moves into Gemini
This is quite a big deal. Uranus has been in Taurus since 2018, where he has been wreaking havoc with financial markets and food production. Uranus in Taurus is also represented by Bill Gates’ transgender-agenda, which does nothing but fuck with nature’s perfection (Uranus in Taurus) and sterilise people for $$$$. Uranus wreaks havoc in our lives because he wants change just for the sake of change. Uranus’ full capacity for wreaking havoc in our lives has been restricted because he has been in earthy Taurus. However, Uranus’ potential will be fully activated in air sign Gemini (at least it’s not Scorpio, where Uranus is exalted). Gemini is a busy, fast-paced sign. It is all about the mind and the intellect, and all those neurons firing between atoms at a million miles per second. While Uranus is in Gemini, our minds will work infinitely faster. Babies born under Uranus in Gemini will either be genius’, or completely mentally unstable. Communication will evolve in leaps and bounds. However, faster is not necessarily better unless the energy is harnessed and used wisely, otherwise it will drive us crazy and create unnecessary conflict.
Gemini represents driving so expect that to change beyond recognition in the next seven or so years. I wouldn’t be surprised if we have flying vehicles that can travel into space at the end of this transit. Gemini also represents social media so that is likely to change drastically and to develop exponentially. Gemini also represents the adversarial aspect of most court systems, so you can also expect this to change and develop, and to become much faster — it could become computerised, or even run by artificial intelligence (warning!).
Uranus in Gemini will make a couple of very powerful aspects this year. Firstly, Uranus will sextile the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in August, increasing the effects of this great conjunction exponentially. Also in August, Uranus will trine Pluto retrograde in Aquarius — this is likely to introduce the blight of artificial intelligence robotic machines (scary!). Be very careful of AI controlled cars — don’t buy them (just saying). More on that in future reports.
8-11 July
Neptune retrograde in Aries sextile Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, at 2º
This is an extremely introspective transit between two very large, slow-moving planets. Neptune retrograde in Aries represents ego-death while Pluto retrograde in Aquarius represents our most shocking secrets. We can either use this transit to dissolve our pain from the past, or we may experience pain from our past impacting on our self-confidence. What makes you feel less than your best self? These few days are a good time to acknowledge what is hurting us so that we can work towards releasing it permanently.
9 July
Mercury in Leo semi-sextile Mars in Virgo, at 12º
This transit looks like a conflict where one side is cocky and over-confident, while the other is angry, critical and/or judgemental. These two energies seem to be cancelling each other out (Pisces degree). Alternatively, today is a good day to have a clear out of old superfluous stuff — this will bring in fresh energy and make us feel better in general.
10 July
Venus in Gemini semi-sextile Jupiter in Cancer, at 6º
This transit could represent two people — most likely a man (Jupiter) and a woman (Venus). It could represent work colleagues a husband and wife team or work colleagues, working together on a project. Venus in Gemini is focused on the facts while Jupiter in Cancer is either working from home or being his beautiful, loving self. This is another great transit for house renovations so working on the house is a great use of this energy.

#NOTONEFUCKENMORE
Heaven and Earth
Images of mythical gods pass overhead in cirrus clouds,
and dragons breathe fire, spread their wings and take flight.
The sun sneaks out and smiles for a while,
then slips back behind haloed shrouds of heaven.
Similarly, great cycles of civilisation pass beneath like vast shifting clouds, driven by time.
And children die every second,
as the Earth sighs her dying breaths for the inhumanity of greed,
and Heaven weeps as the Earth bleeds.

Full Moon, 11 June 2025
Early again (just in case I get kidnapped by the pigs again or go missing - just saying)...
Sagittarius
Welcome to The Apocalypse. I am your host and this is the Marama (Moon) Report for the full moon in Sagittarius on the 11th of June 2025. Full moons represent endings, culminations and things coming to fruition. Full moon energy lasts for approximately two weeks (until the following new moon). Full moons are the best time to cleanse tarot cards and crystals in the moonlight, to empower them (I leave mine out overnight on a windowsill).
This is a full moon in Sagittarius at a Scorpio degree, with Jupiter conjunct Mercury in early Cancer. The first thing that comes to mind is that this is quite a sentimental time (Mercury in Cancer). The full moon opposite the Sun forms a tight grand cross formation with the nodal axis (by 2 degrees), so this is a totally transformational full moon. We might be closing things out (full moon) that affect our sensitive natures (Cancer). This is quite a benevolent full moon — Sagittarius is a benevolent sign and Jupiter (the ruler of Sagittarius) is exalted in loving Cancer, where he is the head of the household (Jupiter represents a husband in a woman’s chart). Make the most of the benevolent energy while it lasts. This is also a very karmic full moon because it squares the nodes — everything could change in the next two weeks (just saying).
Cancer represents the Mother Goddess. She is your Mama, Marama (the Moon), the ocean, and she represents healthy, familial love. Cancer is a gentle, emotional and loving sign unless she is hurt, and then she can be very protective and more than little crabby — Cancer is represented by the crab, which has a hard, protective layer over her soft and vulnerable body. Feelings (including psychic intuition) are very important to Cancers. My Moon is at 0º of Cancer so I can be very Cancerian, and I can attest that a hurt or sad Cancer is a very unhappy little crab indeed. However, this isn’t a sad full moon. The Moon is very happy in benevolent Sagittarius where she tends to let go and just feel good about herself (particularly when Jupiter is in Cancer — some cross-referencing is going on here). However, this full moon is at a Scorpio degree so what is going on here?
Scorpio can be interpreted very negatively, for example, Scorpio represents fear and death. Scorpio can also represent immense power. However, to understand Scorpio properly, you have to understand the cycles of life and death — life in general (as well as time) is a series of cycles within cycles within cycles … Everything in the multiverse is recycled, including our souls through an endless cycle of reincarnation (just my opinion). Without death and decay, new life cannot spring forth from the nutrient-rich compost that it provides. A positive interpretation of Scorpio is transformation through death (i.e. endings) and rebirth — which still sounds quite negative until we accept that endings are a necessary and beneficial part of life that help us to grow and develop. Endings clear the slate for something better to come along 🙂. The best way to get through difficult Scorpionic (or Plutonic) transits is to embrace the change that is destined to happen anyway (whether you want to argue about it or not), and to catch the wave to the next octave on the spiral of evolution while it’s available (the gift of Scorpio). People who cling too long to the past tend to get stuck in a rut. I see emotions as a wheel or waterfall that needs to move or flow constantly, or we become stagnant. Creativity is the best way to keep emotions flowing — Plutonic transits are great for creativity because creativity comes from the deepest, darkest part of our souls.
Wainui Falls, Golden Bay, Aotearoa
I see this full moon as an opportunity to catch some zzz’s (if you can). Cancer loves being at home. The world might completely change around you over the next two weeks. Being at home with family (where you should feel safe and loved) while embracing the change, is probably the best way through this full moon that wants to clear away the dross so that we can live more freely. If you are struggling with homelessness, this is a very good time to find social housing, if you want that (just saying). This might also be a good time to move out of an untenable situation (Scorpio), if you can.
Pluto retrograde in early Aquarius is making a tight sextile to Saturn and Neptune in early Aries. This is another deeply transformational aspect. Saturn and Neptune are concretising our dreams and wishes that are coming from a very deep place in our souls (Pluto retrograde). This is a very good time to dream big (Sagittarius) while making practical changes to our lives. Venus is squaring Pluto retrograde, while narrowly avoiding the influences of Saturn and Neptune. Venus is very benevolent in Taurus which provides her with the stability she needs to be her most fabulous, loveable self. However, Pluto is creating fear regarding uncertainty (Aquarius). There are two remedies that I can think of, for this tense square aspect. The first is to use Venus’ benevolent and stable energy to counter Pluto’s fear, particularly if you are in the privileged class (Venus in Taurus). The other method is to use both energies like two horses of a chariot pulling in different directions — if you harness both energies at the same time (and hold them together), you tend to drive them forward like a bulldozer (just my experience).
Venus in Taurus is also making a very tight sextile to Mercury in Cancer (by one degree). Venus is at a Leo degree, so she is feeling proud and happy with herself. Mercury in Cancer is also at a Cancer degree so this is a very sensitive transit. This is a very feel-good transit, particularly if you use the energy available to heal your sensitive soul. Taking a long walk on the beach (Cancer) with your significant other or your pooch, would be very healing at this time. Negative ions that flow through us from the ocean air tend to clear the cobwebs out of our minds. I love walking on the beach in wild weather — the wind blows salt and sand in my face, clearing out the cobwebs and then I have a very restful sleep afterwards. We are blessed in Aotearoa to live surrounded by the ocean so I tend to think that everyone does. If you live in a landlocked country, I can only suggest that you take this time to rest and heal in other ways because I can’t imagine not being able to go to the ocean when I need to, to clear the depression and frustration out of my psyche. Because I grew up surrounded by the sea, it feels like an intrinsic part of my soul.
Be wary of Uranus at the end of Taurus square Mars at the end of Leo (by 2 degrees). This is a very tense aspect. Uranus square Mars is an extremely volatile combination. Uranus conjunct the Medusa star Algol, is not a happy aspect (just saying). In fixed signs this square represents a long-term or stubborn conflict. At the end of signs, planets tend to embody more of the negative aspects of that sign — Taurus is extremely stubborn while Leo can be quite arrogant. My advice is to harness both energies by walking away from conflict, because any conflict that starts under this transit could drag on for a very long time. With Chiron in Aries trine Mars in Leo (exactly) at a Taurus degree, arrogance has the potential to explode into violent conflict (just saying). On the other hand, having pride and valuing ourselves (Mars in Leo) could provide some much needed healing energy to help us break free from our stagnant depression and/or issues of low self-esteem. Chiron in Aries trine Mars in Leo could be a very healing transit if handled wisely and gently. This transit is telling us that we can gain confidence and belief in ourselves from our painful experiences.
Lys of the Shadows reversed (Faeries’ Oracle, by Brian Froud)
Hiding in the shadows. Keeping things to yourself. Secrets.
Owl (Animal Spirit, by Kim Kranz)
Realisation (possibly of something unpleasant)
When Lys of the Shadows is upright, she represents breaking free of oppression which can mean anything from addiction to unhealthy relationships, and anything inbetween. Lys tends to frequent homeless camps to rescue people from misery. However, when she is reversed, she represents staying underground, or staying in hiding. She is saying that the time is not quite right to bring light to the darkness. It is time to work on the darkness instead. What is hiding do you see hiding in the shadows, that needs to be worked on?
Owl just knows. She knows things that many people just could not handle. She knows so much that it hurts. She doesn’t talk or do anything about it — she just holds her pain close to her heart, so that we don’t have to. This reading is all about staying in the shadows to work on our darkness so that we don’t carry it with us when the time comes to step into the light.
30. Flaming Beauty
Another name for this hexagram is Clarity, or Clinging like Fire. Life is what you make of it and clarity and inspiration abound in this hexagram. This is time for spreading your light to the cosmos through discriminating caution, intelligence, and powerful spontaneous leaping into one’s destiny. Attachment to others is the key to knowing your true place in the world. It is time to radiate your light through your web of interdependence despite challenges. It is not time to be isolated. You need to look for the inspiration that keeps your inner light burning. What are you passionate about? Cling to it and your place in the world.
Line two
Indulge in nothing and a warm, beautiful yellow light will shine in your life. Now is a beneficial time if you maintain your centre and balance. Remain active and continue on your chosen path with steady but moderate action.
14. Possession in Great Measure
Another name for this Hexagram is Affluence. Creative inspiration is flowing now. Move with it. However, be careful of increased pride or arrogance if you want abundance to continue. Stay attentive to managing your affairs. Lasting prosperity considers the values of others and furthers the collective good.
Transits
13 June
Sun in Gemini square the nodal axis, at 22º
This is a ‘skipped step’ aspect, where something is coming back around on the spiral of evolution to be finished off or redone properly. This aspect creates a t-square which is a very tense aspect. The only way to deal with this tension is to create balance in the situation by focusing on the missing corner of the square, which is in Sagittarius. What worries me is that this exact t-square is at the notoriously difficult 22º (in Nikolai Stojanovic’s degree astrology, which I have found to be an accurate method of astrological interpretation). Stojanovic describes 22º as the ‘kill or be killed’ degree, and he says that it is linked to murderers, assassins and murder victims. 22º is prominent in my chart, and I have experienced first-hand the effects of this degree. 22º is also prominent in Vladimir Putin’s chart (just as another example).
If you have this notorious degree in your chart, it does not necessarily mean that you will be murdered (or a murderer), but it does represent extreme difficulty in one’s life. From my personal experience and research, it simply means that you have prominent enemies or adversaries in your life. What is that proverb? — “your greatness is determined by how mighty your enemies are”. I am still fighting everyday for the basic rights that other’s take for granted, like not being falsely imprisoned and not living under the constant threat of state violence.
Sagittarius is all about the truth and seeking answers via gaining knowledge. Sagittarius is also about philosophising about right and wrong. However, 22º of Sagittarius is a very difficult degree. If you don’t have 22º in your natal or progressed chart, you can safely ignore this transit, but if you do, you should take extra precautions regarding your security today.
22º of Sagittarius
Darkness seeks release by the right vessel, at the right time, in the right place. You must be able to contain the darkness and to form it into an exquisitely sculpted-out seething chaos, and then discover your willingness and ability to reverse field, to give over the very thing you took as your own. This comes the hard way, by enduring the ravages of living in a volatile chaos almost as victim and then seizing command of your own vessel. Until you do it, the darkness leaks out around the edges and fosters the worst all around. Usually, triggering so much subtle destruction and indulgence in the negative brings you up short, and triggers the final reckoning and the huge release, sending darkness on its way and opening a space for light to flood through and start a new cycle, where the old had seemed to be decadent and established for the duration.
14-15 June
Mars in Leo square Uranus in Taurus, at 28º
This is an extremely volatile transit. Mars is in fiery, proud Leo while Uranus (which represents volatility) is extremely frustrated in Taurus. A square can be an extremely volatile aspect. At a Cancer degree, this could be an extremely emotional time. Alternatively, this transit may deal with issues of homelessness or losing our home (just saying). To harness the positive energies of this transit, we can proudly (Mars in Leo) push forward (square aspect) to change (Uranus) established structures (Taurus) with loving energy (Cancer). Otherwise, some very stubborn conflicts could emerge.
15-18 June
Jupiter in Cancer square Saturn in Aries, at 1º
Jupiter is dominant here because Jupiter is exalted in Cancer while Saturn is not comfortable in fiery Aries. A square is a tense aspect. Saturn in Aries is quite a controlling aspect while Jupiter in Cancer is a very benevolent aspect. If you are experiencing power and control issues (Saturn in Aries), you are likely to win or persevere by being benevolent (Jupiter in Cancer). This reminds me of the Strength card in the tarot where applying honey rather than vinegar will get you through. Alternatively, as will all squares, you can harness both energies (i.e. loving/benevolent authority) and use them to drive forward like a bulldozer. At an Aries degree, something needs to be done here. Perhaps, we need to take the bull by the horns during this transit while not abusing the power at our disposal. Alternatively, we may need to gently put someone in their place.
15 June
Venus is Taurus trine Lilith in Scorpio, at 8º
This is a deeply sexual transit (not gonna lie). Venus in Taurus is extremely sensual while Lilith in Scorpio represents raw sexuality. At a Pluto degree, this is a deeply transformational aspect. This might be a good day for tantric sex practices (just saying). An alternative interpretation is solidarity amongst women, particularly if they bond over difficult experiences.
17 June
Sun in Gemini sextile Chiron in Aries, at 26º
This could be quite a hurtful transit. The Sun in Gemini wants to talk while Chiron in Aries is a wound to the ego. At a Taurus degree, this is a stubborn transit. Luckily it only lasts for a day. Alternatively, we could be discussing (Sun in Gemini) our values (Taurus degree) because our souls have been wounded (Chiron in Aries) by a lack of respect or loyalty coming back.
Mars in Leo square Uranus in Taurus, at 29º
This is another very tense aspect. It is the same as 14-15 June, except this time it is at the anaretic degree which represents endings. This time, we are applying self-confidence to stuck problems to end them. It is as if a tight knot that has been stuck for a very long finally loosens and comes unstuck. Perhaps it relates to the aspect above, perhaps not.
18 June
Mars enters Virgo
Mars does not particularly happy in boring Virgo. Mars likes action at any cost. Virgo wants to do things properly and thoroughly. These two energies are not necessarily at odds with each other, but we do need to harness the energies available carefully because Virgo can be quite insensitive and so can Mars. The best way to harness this energy is to use it to work (Virgo), particularly on practical day-to-day jobs. This is a great time to get all those annoying little jobs done that need doing but you never have time for. Virgo loves to fix or improve things so home renovations are a great use of this energy. Mars will be in Virgo until the 7th of August.
19-23 June
Jupiter in Cancer square Neptune in Aries, at 2º
This is quite a long-acting transit because both planets are slow-moving outer planets, so expect the effects to last after the 23rd. Jupiter in Cancer is extremely loving and family oriented. Perhaps, we are being smothered by love and that is dampening our energies and/or impeding our independence or free will. Alternatively, if you have any problems, the best way forward is to steadily progress (Taurus degree) with a gentle softly, softly approach. 2º is the most powerful degree in Nikolai Stojanovic’s degree astrology, so this approach is likely to have powerful long-lasting effects.
20 June
The Pleiades (the Seven Sisters)
Matariki
This is the Maori new year in Aotearoa. It is a very special time of honouring our passed and fallen. It is also a time to plough the land ready for planting and getting seeds down so that seedlings will be ready to plant when spring arrives. The first night that Matariki (the Seven Sisters) appears in the sky just before dawn is a very special time to Maori, as it represents a very special time when the veils between worlds are paper thin.
Mars in Virgo inconjunct Saturn in Aries, at 1º
To me, this looks like a analytical investigation of governmental and/or public policy, in light of changes that need to be made. Mars in Virgo wants to fix things. Saturn in Aries can be frustrating and difficult, and more than a little controlling. An inconjunction means that something needs to shift. At an Aries degree, there might a lot of tension or anger involved. Alternatively, this is a great day for getting stuck in and getting work done, particularly if will see tangible results at the end of it.
21-22 June
Mars in Virgo sextile Jupiter in Cancer and inconjunct Neptune in Aries, at 2º
This is a gnarly little transit to interpret. It consists of a sextile, an inconjunction and a square (gnarly!). At 2º (the most powerful degree in Stojanovic’s degree astrology), this is a determined little knot to untie. I am seeing an attack (Neptune in Aries) on private property ownership. I am not a big fan of economic liberalism but this looks like a theft or transfer of wealth to me. I can see a an attack on liberty and autonomy, i.e. our ability to do things for ourselves (Mars in Virgo), and this affecting our home life and family stability. It’s like there is a concerted effort to improve something but something is getting in the way. Expect to feel irritated today. A positive interpretation would be working (Mars in Virgo) at home or on the house (Jupiter in Cancer), to remove something (Neptune in Aries). This transit has a very gently, softly softly approach to it. Perhaps Mars is being a bit gung-ho in Virgo, and needs to chill out a bit. If someone (or an organisation) is trying to take something from you, I see a good approach being two people working together — a good cop vs bad cop approach might work wonders today. This is a difficult transit which luckily only lasts for one day, so take it easy out there.
Sun in Gemini semi-sextile Uranus in Taurus, at 29º
This is an ending of some kind (29º). It looks like a parting of ways to me. Sun in Gemini wants to go their own way while Uranus in Taurus wants to theirs. Alternatively, discussion or social media may be having an impact in unexpected or unknown ways.
22 June
Sun moves into Cancer
When the Sun moves into Cancer, we tend to want to stay at home and nest. Good things to do when the Sun is in Cancer include gardening, cooking homemade meals for the family, working on the house, spending time with the kids, going to the ocean, and being gentle on yourself. The fiery Sun doesn’t much like it in watery Cancer so we tend to be more sensitive and emotional. An unhappy Cancer is sad and depressed. Walking in nature, particularly near the ocean is the best cure for depression (my opinion). Alternatively, a snuggly cuddle in bed and a cry is a very Cancerian cure for grief, sadness, depression or anxiety. The Sun will be in Cancer until the 23rd of July, when it moves into Leo.
23 June
Sun in Cancer square Saturn in Aries, at 1º
This is a very difficult transit (not gonna lie). Saturn is a hard old bastard, particularly in Aries. The Sun is sensitive and emotional in Cancer. This looks like bullying to me. Because it is such a tense square aspect, I recommend taking all that Cancery sadness and angst and using it constructively to build or create something (Saturn in Aries). When I was struggling with sadness, I used to enjoy getting lost in work when I was renovating my house. House renovations is a very good use of these difficult energies.
24-27 June
Jupiter in Cancer inconjunct Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, at 3º
This transit is a good time to work on our social conditioning or internal thought processes (Pluto retrograde) that may be sabotaging our good efforts. Jupiter in Cancer wants to feel good emotionally, and is saying that our mental outlook based on deeper psychological issues may be impeding us from emotional or spiritual growth.
24 June
Yod to Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, by Mars in Virgo (sextile) Jupiter in Cancer, at 3º
Another gnarly transit. Yods create excessive tension on the planet being attacked by separate two inconjunctions. At 3º, there could be a lot of buzz on social media or gossip or discussion. Pluto retrograde in Aquarius is a very introverted aspect, so Mars in Virgo and Jupiter in Cancer may be causing some worries or internal tension. Both Mars in Virgo and Jupiter in Cancer can represent nagging (just saying). This transit only lasts for a day but it would be good to take note of things that bother you today because this transit is saying that plans might need to be put into place to fix or correct something, today.
Mercury in Cancer square Chiron in Aries, at 26º
Ouch! This looks sensitive and painful — not gonna lie. Aries-Cancer squares can be very destructive. Chiron in Aries represents our deepest wounds, usually to our ego (the id) or to our self-worth. Mercury in Cancer is sensitive and loving. I suggest being gentle on yourself today, while avoiding conflict.

New Moon, 27 May 2025
Fresh out of jail (again). This is early (again), just in case I go missing...
Welcome to The Apocalypse. I am your host, and this is the Marama (Moon) Report for the new moon in Aries, on the 27th of May 2025. New moons represent new beginnings and new moon energy lasts for approximately two weeks (until the following full moon). New moons are the best time to do affirmations and to set intentions for the future.
This is a new moon in Gemini with Mercury (the ruler of Gemini) in Gemini, so this is a very Gemini new moon indeed. The Moon (which is naturally very emotionally delicate and sensitive) doesn’t generally like being in intellectual and analytical Gemini. The Moon is dreamy and wishful, while Gemini is quite self-interested and likes to be busy and hands on. When the Moon is in Gemini, it is time to say what needs to be said, plan what needs to be done and to take care of any overdue errands or paperwork that needs to be done. This new moon is at a Virgo degree, so this is a great time to take advantage of the fresh energy that is available and make things happen. This new moon is a very good time for writing, studying or just using our mental acumen in general. With Mercury at a Taurus degree, getting stuck in and doing the mahi (work) will reap rewards. Gemini also represents our hands (Gemini represents anything that comes in pairs), so anything that requires manual labour or hand-eye coordination should be fun during this new moon period.
Something needs to shift during this time because Dark Moon Lilith and Vesta retrograde in Scorpio are inconjunct (or quincunx) this new moon (exactly). This is not an easy transit (not gonna lie), particularly because Scorpio is involved. Lilith is also quite a dark and scary influence (particularly in Scorpio), however, what Lilith truly represents are the unexpressed parts of ourselves that are languishing in the darkness. She wants freedom of expression above all else, including the right to express her sexuality freely, without control or judgement. Lilith simply wants the right to live and she is enraged that this has been denied her. She represents oppressed people in general, particularly women but many men will also relate to Lilith’s repressed energy.
Vesta retrograde also represents oppressed women (in particular), particularly rape victims so some people may need to speak out about their abusive past or their abusers. Vesta is a very feminine asteroid but her issues also relate equally to many men (women don’t have a monopoly on rape or sexual abuse). In Scorpio, Vesta could bring up some very painful details or issues. As with all difficult Scorpio transits, we need to purge whatever pain, rage or darkness wants to be released at this time. To do this, any form of self-expression that comes naturally will assist us to move through some deep, dark emotional shit, including dancing, writing, painting etc (whatever helps). Alternatively, we may need to have a spring clean to get rid of all that extra baggage that we continue to carry around with us because it represents our pain that we have not yet healed. This is confirmed by Pluto retrograde in Aquarius trine the new moon, which is telling us to let that shit go. Don’t be afraid to have a good cry because it truly is the path to release and healing.
Uranus in late Taurus is conjunct Algol (the Medusa star), which is in an out of sign conjunction with Mercury in early Gemini. This shows to me that some heads may roll from being exposed. Medusa was a rape victim who was then persecuted by those in power for being raped by them. She then had her head cut off by them. It is a very sad story of persecution and loss. It reminds me of the early Christians who were persecuted for their religious beliefs. In astrology, Algol simply represents losing your head (or your cool) — it is quite a dangerous part of the zodiac. Uranus is also closely conjunct the Pleiades (a constellation of stars which Maori call Matariki), which is generally seen as a bad omen in astrology but in many cultures, the Pleiades represents reaching out to our heavenly or benevolent extra-terrestrial brothers and sisters (always protect yourself and your energy!).
Jupiter in Gemini is semi-sextile Uranus in Taurus, which again shows that we may need to speak up to knock something on the head. Jupiter is at a Taurus degree, so you may need to be stubborn or determined about speaking your truth. With the Earth at a Virgo degree in Sagittarius, people are working hard towards exposing the truth (Sagittarius). Having said that, the truth can be subjective so there may be some debating or philosophising about what the truth actually is. A Gemini new moon (with Mercury in Gemini) loves debating and communicating in general, so there will be an abundance of energy available for truth-seeking. The law (Sagittarius) may be helpful in determining right from wrong during the next two weeks.

Communication.
Action. Energy. Forward movement. Flow. Being busy. Progress. Opportunities.
Change of residence. Travel. Going somewhere.
The arrows of love.
This reading is highlighting conflict at the top of the reading. At the centre of the reading is an ending — the 10 of Swords usually signifies a permanent ending. It also signifies a painful or tragic ending. I’m reading the bottom three cards as past present future because they seem to tell a story. The 3 of Cups also signifies conflict, however, the 8 of Wands is a fresh new beginning, where communication flows and fresh activity or movement starts. To me, this reading is telling us that we may need to stand up for ourselves in the face of conflict or bullying (5 Wands), and that ending the situation (whatever it is) will lead to greener pastures and healthier relationships.
37. Family
Another name for this hexagram is Extended Family. Inner resonance is what draws people together. Members of the family or group find their rightful places by coming into accord with other members so that harmony exists without the dominance of a leader. This is not done by force, aggression, or dominance. A family that thrives is one where a healthy interdependence is cultivated.
Line 5
The real security of a family or community brings happiness. Be open in relation to those who depend on you for love and guidance. If you are in a position of authority, it will further your position to be loving and trustworthy rather than bold and/or inconsistent. Choose goodwill.
22. Grace
Another name for this hexagram is Beauty. It is important that you appear graceful in public. This is a time of effortless effort, not radical ideas or intense emotions. Grace brings success in small matters which can take us far in this world.
The next full moon is in Sagittarius, on the 11th of June.
Transits
28-29 May
Jupiter in Gemini semi-sextile Uranus in Taurus, at 27º
There are a lot of semi-sextiles and inconjunctions during this moon phase, so expect a lot of shifts and changes. I interpret semi-sextiles (two aspects at the same degree in neighbouring signs) as two things happening simultaneously that are not necessarily connected but are influencing or impacting each other anyway. In this case, Jupiter in Gemini is speaking out about something, while Uranus in Taurus represents slow but steady changes to the established status quo. At a Gemini degree, there should be a lot of buzz, hype or discussion going on.
A semi-sextile = the same degree in neighbouring signs
28 May
Sun in Gemini inconjunct Lilith in Scorpio, at 6º
The Sun in Gemini highlights communication. Lilith in Scorpio is dealing with some deep, dark shit. At a Virgo degree, we are either working towards something or analysing something. I’m not exactly sure what is going on here but something or someone is asking for change. Inconjunctions can be irritating so we might just feel grumpy or out of sorts today.
An inconjunction = the sign on either side of an opposition
29 May
Sun in Gemini inconjunct Lilith in Scorpio, at 7º
This is the same transit as the one above, but at a Libra degree. Perhaps, we worked on our issues yesterday so that we are at peace (Libra) with them today. Libra also represents the public so alternatively. Perhaps we are going public with something.
Mercury in Gemini inconjunct Lilith in Scorpio, at 7º
And Mercury comes along and adds even more mercurial energy to the mix. This is starting to look like a public spat or exposure of some kind. Alternatively, we are coming to terms with something that we find difficult to deal with (Lilith in Scorpio). Perhaps, we are in discussion (Mercury conjunct Sun in Gemini) about how to find a harmonious (Libra) solution or outcome.
30 May
Sun conjunct Mercury in Gemini, at 8º
This is very similar to the interpretations above because the Sun and Mercury are now at a Scorpio degree, so we may be discussing something quite Scorpionic. Scorpio represents our deepest, darkest issues. Alternatively, we might need to work on things that we would rather ignore, such as a blocked drain or taking out the trash. This is a very good day for cleaning out your cupboards and getting rid of unnecessary clutter that clogs up and confuses our energy.
30-31 May
Venus in Aries semi-sextile North Node, at 23º
Another semi-sextile. If we break free of the norm (Aquarius degree) today, and do what we enjoy doing (Venus in Aries), we are likely to have an easy free-flow of energy today. Today would be a good to just go with the flow and see where your inspiration takes you.
1-5 June
Jupiter in Gemini semi-sextile Uranus in Taurus, at 28º
Jupiter expands communication in Gemini. This can lead to arguments but it is also great for research and investigation. Teaching is another positive interpretation of Jupiter in Gemini. Uranus in Taurus is breaking down existing structures, including established family structures. At a Cancer degree, there could be disharmony at home. Conflicts may arise during this transit regarding disharmony or dissatisfaction. These transits usually arise when things have been stagnant for an extended period. My advice is to listen to people during this transit, to learn what adjustments could be made before problems become entrenched and major changes need to be made.
2 June
Venus conjunct Chiron in Aries, at 25º
I see this as beautiful healing energy. In Aries, it could be about our identity or our ego/self-worth. Anyone with 25º in either their natal or progressed charts will get an extra special dose of this loving energy. Anyone who is struggling with depression or issues of self-worth should take it easy today and let your body soak up all the love that is available today.
5-6 June
Mars in Leo inconjunct the North Node in Pisces and semi-sextile the South Node in Virgo, at 23º
Mars in Leo is all about what makes us feel proud and happy (i.e. feeling good about life and ourselves). It is a very sexual placement (just saying). Leo is also about parenting (particularly being a father), so Mars in Leo might be about making babies (just saying). At an Aquarius degree, they might be little Aquarius babies (just saying). When Mars in Leo is inconjunct the North Node in Pisces, we are looking at our hopes and dreams with an eye to adjusting our lives to fulfil our dreams. The South Node in Virgo is saying that we need to work to achieve our goals. Wishful thinking is great but we may need to back up our plans with action.
5 June
Venus in Aries sextile Jupiter in Gemini and semi-sextile Uranus in Taurus, at 28º
This is a complex little transit to interpret. Venus, Jupiter and Uranus are all at 28º in three conjoining signs — they are forming two semi-sextiles and a sextile (see chart above). These three planets are all speaking to each other today. There could be a conflict between two parties with a third party in the middle. At a Cancer degree, be careful of your emotions and emotional exchanges. Alternatively, there could be a conflict at home (Cancer). Alternatively, this could be a frustrating day where we are thinking about what we want to be doing instead of the boring work that we must do. Try to use this energy for constructing or manifesting something from our inspiration, particularly at home, if you can.
6 June
Mercury in Gemini sextile Mars in Leo and square the nodes, at 23º
Another complicated little transit to interpret (thanks universe). Whenever something squares the nodal axis (the North Node and the South Node are always directly opposite each other), something from the past (or from a past life) needs to be completed or redone. It forms a t-square and the best way through a t-square is to focus on the missing corner of the square, which is in Sagittarius (see interpretation below). Sagittarius is about expansion and growth. Sagittarius also focuses on the truth. Sagittarius expands information to get to the truth and to learn from it. Sagittarius is also about travelling to foreign countries and foreign relations. Mars in Leo inconjunct the North Node says that we are not happy about something. Mercury in Gemini sextile Mars in Leo is also saying that we are not happy about something. What is bothering you today? At an Aquarius degree, we either need to break away from something to feel good about ourselves, or alternatively, we need to spend some time with our friend group to feel nourished and loved (only you know which).
23º Sagittarius
Methodology, technique, the how of things. Immersing yourself in the field of new ideas, fresh approaches, and innovative paths, imaginatively and energetically. Exposing yourself to possibilities, visions, ways to evolve. The body's wisdom musically in touch and in tune, sensing the resonance of cellular awakening. Eager and enthusiastic and bright, you have given over to the process. Always in midstream. Seizing upon opportunities, challenges, openings. Needing to know just how it feels at the micro levels. What is it like to be free, to be joyous, to be unrestricted, here in the body, in the world? You seek the full-on motivating spark of knowing what it feels like to be tuned out and discovering what it really means to be tuned in all the way.
7 June
Venus enters Taurus
Venus loves being in her home sign of Taurus (her other home sign is Libra). Venus is luxurious in Taurus, where she pampers herself and makes herself look “vonderful darlink” as Zsa Zsa Gabore would say. Money (Venus) tends to flow during Venus in Taurus transits so we might need to watch our finances over this time. Venus in Taurus is all about loving ourselves just the way we are, and indulging our senses. Venus in Taurus is very loving and sensual. This is a great time for sharing massages with our partner (just saying).
Venus in Taurus semi-sextile Saturn in Aries, at 0º
Another semi-sextile. Here, Venus is powerful and Saturn is weak. Saturn in Aries is either actively controlling something or frustrated. Venus is in her element, particularly at 0º of Taurus. Cold and discerning Saturn isn’t too happy in fiery, passionate Aries. A positive interpretation of Saturn in Aries is a fresh beginning (Aries) of government (Saturn) or a long-term solid structure of some kind, e.g. a building, a trust fund, a business or career. Venus in Taurus represents a solid financial foundation. 0º is an embodiment of the signs it is in — Taurus is steady and reliable while Aries is active and passionate. This is a good day for starting projects that will take time to establish. This is the prime meridian point which is great for new beginnings. If this energy is not used wisely, it could lead to a very unhappy Venus who feels restricted and controlled by Venus and is not a happy camper already, in Aries (where Venus generally feels weak and grumpy).
8 June
Venus in Taurus semi-sextile Neptune in Aries, at 1º
Another semi-sextile. This is a similar transit to the one above, except that it involves Venus and Neptune instead of Venus and Saturn. Neptune is the higher octave of Venus so Venus is much happier with Neptune than with grumpy old Saturn. Venus conjunct Neptune makes music and art, and they tend to beautify whatever they touch. In Aries, it could be about self-beautification or anything that makes you feel energetic and/or inspired. This could be a new financial beginning (Venus in Taurus, at an Aries degree). Another interpretation is a solid kind of love (Venus) that evolves from dissolving the ego — this could be an honest declaration of love (just saying).
9 June
Mercury in Cancer square Saturn in Aries, at 0º
This is quite a difficult square, and squares can wreak havoc in our lives. When something is squaring a planet in our natal or progressed charts, it generally creates a massive amount of tension until something is done to relieve the tension. If you find yourself being hammered by a Saturn square (for example), try to combine the energy of Saturn with the energy of the planet (or point) being affected and drive them together like two wheels of a chariot. The Chariot tarot card is all about driving forwards while harnessing the energy of two opposing forces — imagine driving a cart with two horses that want to go in opposite directions and how fast you travel if you can pull those energies together in a constructive way.
Mercury in Cancer is quite sensitive, emotional, caring and loving, while Saturn in Aries can be quite cold and self-centred. If you can harness both energies today, you could travel quite far under this transit. Otherwise, these energies could lead to some emotional conflicts (ouch).
10 June
Mercury in Cancer square Neptune in Aries, at 2º
And another tense square aspect. Mercury in Cancer is quite a sensitive placement while Neptune in Aries can be quite deceptive. I’m not exactly sure what is going on here. At a Taurus degree, we might be navigating a stubborn issue like a knot that just won’t come undone. If you are dealing with a difficult issue today, a softly, softly approach is advised.

Full Moon, 13 May 2025
Scorpio
Welcome to The Apocalypse. I am your host and this is the Marama (Moon) Report for the full moon in Libra on the 13th of May 2025. Full moons represent endings, culminations and things coming to fruition. Full moon energy lasts for approximately two weeks (until the following new moon). Full moons are the best time to cleanse tarot cards and crystals in the moonlight, to empower them (I leave mine out overnight on a windowsill).
This is not a benevolent (i.e. friendly) full moon (just saying). We have had a very rough ride over the past few months, so I had a quick look forward and the next new moon in Gemini is a much brighter and happier moon phase. However, this full moon in Scorpio is the scariest full moon I have ever seen (not gonna lie). If you thought the Aries new moon was bad (it was), this full moon is likely to be even worse. This full moon in Scorpio is at the worst degree in Nikolai Stojanovic’s Degree Astrology (22º). Stojanovic described 22º as the “kill or be killed” degree. 22º is a Capricorn (i.e. Saturnian) degree that is associated with murderers, assassins etc, and murder victims. Scorpio is a very dark and scary sign — it is all about death and fear. Scorpio is essentially the trashcan or the toilet of the zodiac. It represents putrid things in general, including what we don’t want to look at or don’t like about ourselves. It also represents corruption, and mischievous or demonic spirits including human excrement that just needs to go. Scorpio also represents death and war, and other things that we don’t particularly like to acknowledge are part of the human experience. Positive interpretations of Scorpio include personal psychoanalysis, transformation and regeneration (through endings), and purging or detoxification — a colon cleanse might be helpful at this time. Research projects and investigations that dive deep down into the blood and guts and slime of humanity are also very Plutonian. Welcome to the world of Scorpio (at least it’s not Halloween).
Full Moon
A full moon = the Moon conjunct (i.e. at the same degree of) Mother Earth/Papatuanuku/Papa, opposite the Sun (see chart above). Full moons are about endings and closing things out. However, full moon energy is known for its ‘luna’tic energy — most first responders will agree that something strange happens to people’s psyches around the time of the full moon. The Moon is debilitated in Scorpio. Scorpio is directly opposite Taurus, where the Moon is exalted — see ‘Rulerships’ below. In Scorpio, the Moon becomes paranoid, overly suspicious, fearful and dangerously insecure. Ask anyone with a natal Scorpio Moon how difficult it is — if they learn to focus all that deep, intense Scorpio energy constructively, they are likely to be very successful in ventures that involve research, investigation, psychotherapy or psychiatry, tax or debt collection, or prostitution (just saying).
Pluto (the ruler of this full moon) in Aquarius is square Mercury in Taurus (exactly), at a Gemini degree. Both Aquarius and Taurus are in fixed signs, so there is a lot of long-held tension in this full moon. Pluto retrograde in Aquarius represents society being in fear — plain and simple. That is exactly square (in tension with) Mercury in Taurus (peace of mind)! At a Gemini degree, there might be a lot of buzz on social media or angry voices crying out for peace of mind. Pluto and Mercury also form a tight t-square with Dark Moon Lilith at 5º of Scorpio — t-square’s create massive tension. However, they can be totally transformational if you balance out the tension by focusing on the missing corner, which happens to be in early Leo. Leo is about parenting and children, and spending quality time with family, particularly your mokopuna (children). It’s about making love with your spouse, just for fun. It’s about being proud of your achievements, and enjoying the rewards of them. It’s about doing what you enjoy, to relieve the tension of social obligation (Aquarius). This t-square is the cosmos giving us permission to focus on our happiness over the next two weeks, as a remedy for the darkness and torment that abounds.
Personal protection
Yod No.1
This full moon forms the focal point of an activated yod. A yod consists of two inconjunctions that form an arrow formation, which points to the focal point of the yod (the focal point is the Moon conjunct Juno, in the chart above). Inconjunctions are notoriously difficult aspects because they show that something needs to shift, change or adjust. When two inconjunctions gang up on a poor planet, it can wreak havoc in the world and in your life. A yod is activated by another planet in opposition to the focal point (the Sun conjunct Uranus, in the chart above). Only Juno is retrograde in this yod — i.e. everything else is moving forward. In Greek mythology, Juno (an asteroid) is Hera, Zeus’ wife. Juno bodes well for stability and long-term relationships, however, she is currently retrograde (going backwards in the sky from Earth’s perspective). In this chart, Juno represents a traitor (in my opinion). Because Juno is at a Pisces degree (in Scorpio, no less), she is a very deceptive traitor, and she is quite close to the Moon (just saying). The Moon represents our conscious minds and ordinary people (i.e. society as a whole). She would have heavy Scorpio placements in her chart (just saying).
Jupiter in Gemini has quite a lot to say, and he is essentially saying that the deception needs to change. Chiron is saying that treachery is the problem and that it needs to be hunted down and exterminated permanently. Because Jupiter is at an Aquarius degree, people could get quite radical when it comes to making necessary shifts and changes, especially with Uranus activating the yod. With Uranus (and the Sun) in Taurus, changes are likely to develop slowly, with long-lasting consequences. Taurus activating the yod also shows a determined effort to make changes.
Yod No.2
However, there is another very tight yod in this chart (see chart above). This time the focal point is the South Node in Virgo (at a Pisces degree). The activation point of a yod is where the North Node is, in this chart. However only planets and asteroids can activate — i.e. mathematical points (like the South Node, North Node, midheaven (MC), imum coeli (IC), and Black Moon Lilith) can be activated by planets or asteroids but mathematical points do not activate planets or asteroids. Therefore, this is not an activated yod. However, inactivated yods are still powerful configurations. Something clearly needs to shift regarding our past (South Node). Whenever the South Node is aspected, it usually means hard lessons or hard work is necessary. Chiron in Aries (at a Pisces degree), is saying that our inner pain needs to heal. Pallas Athene (another asteroid), is saying that justice must be served for that to happen. While this is not an activated yod, this configuration is still creating a lot of tension.
Christ in Limbo, Hieronymus Bosch
Surrealium, by Hieronymus Bosch
Let’s talk about the stellium in Pisces. It has been a major theme over the past few months. While the energy is dissipating, it is still relevant. The North Node, Ceres and Saturn are within 4 degrees of each other. Ceres is another Earth Mother/Papatuanuku/Papa archetype. Ceres (and Saturn) tend to concretise or solidify energy. In this case, the energy is Pisces, which is pure spiritual energy. The North Node empowers whatever it touches. This is telling me that spirituality (Pisces) and ritual (Saturn and Ceres) will empower us (North Node). Please don’t get sucked into dark magic or ritual practices. Our world is filled with enough darkness and torment as it is.
Neptune is at 1º of Aries, so people are quite passionate about their spirituality, during this full moon period. Neptune is in a wide conjunction with Venus in Aries (by 7 degrees), so love (Venus) is an important aspect of our religious concepts and ideas. An alternative interpretation of Venus conjunct Neptune is money problems, because Venus represents money (and things that we value) and Neptune dissolves whatever it touches. To avoid Neptune’s reputation for dissolving our finances, I suggest getting right with God (or Allah or Ranginui or Papatuanuku or Christ consciousness or Buddha or Krishna …), however, you resonate with that concept. Venus is trine a very happy Mars in Leo, at an Aquarius degree, therefore, love (Venus) is the key to happiness (Leo), and our independence and/or interdependence (Aquarius). This is a very passionate trine that is very healthy for sexual relationships (just saying).
Neptune/Poseidon, at Fontana di Trevi in Rome/Roma
Above: the European Union building
Below: the Tower of Babel, by Pieter Bruegel
I want to briefly discuss the European Union (EU). The top image (above) is the EU building, while the bottom image is the tower of Babel. According to the King James Bible, the tower of Babel was destroyed by God because humans tried to build it too high. I don’t necessarily trust the King James Bible, because it has clearly been adulterated to indoctrinate humanity (in my humble opinion, based on extensive research). However, I find it quite odd that the EU building seems to be based on Bruegel’s conception of the tower of Babel — why? I have not researched this abomination, but someone should look into who and why the designers went with this design. What is going on here??? What are the designers trying to say here?
The Colosseum in Rome/Roma
The EU building also bears a striking resemblance to the Colosseum of Rome, where early Christians (and other slaves) were fed to kidnapped, wild animals for public entertainment (another method of social control). Is this just another macabre coincidence or are the designers of the EU building trying to tell us something?? Something else that I find interesting about the European Union is that it chose to have its headquarters within meters of the site of the Battle of Waterloo (1815), a particularly bloody and deadly battle that ended a particularly brutal war campaign between the British (under the Duke of Wellington) and the French (Napoleon Bonaparte). Why did they choose that site and what does that say about European relations???
The Battle of Waterloo
Overall: Knight of Cups
Socialising. A holiday. Visiting.
Romance. A romantic man. Love and affection.
4 of Swords (reversed)
Illness. Isolation. Death.
Alternatively: coming out of a period of isolation.
3 of Wands (reversed)
Frustration. Delays. Misunderstandings. Lack of consensus.
Working on yourself rather than external factors.
Cancelling travel plans.
9 of swords
Mental exhaustion. Depression. Grief. Loneliness. Suffering. Feeling victimised.
Difficulties. The realization of something painful. Anxiety. Defeat.
Depleted energy. Stress. Illness.
This is a very strange reading. The main body of the reading is depressing and negative, while the overall card is quite healthy and positive. The three of Wands reversed means that things aren’t going to plan. The 4 of Swords reversed and the 9 of Swords (on either side) show significant stagnation and mental anxiety. This may be how people are feeling. This is currently how I feel (as I write this), and I can feel that a number of people are feeling the same way. The Knight of Cups at the top of the reading shows us that we can walk away from these dark days if we choose to, simply by saying “hasta la vista, baby”, “sayonara” or “haere ra” to whatever is preventing us from moving forward.
Kahikatea, White Pine
If Kahikatea calls you to its side this day it asks you to raise your head high, to stand tall in the truth and honour all that is of your journey. Remember it is of the South Wind, the realm that offers a deep connection with the Earth. This giant of the forest is a symbol of trust that reminds us we have the power to reach into the inner world of the child. Born of nurture it offers nurture.
Kahikatea reminds us it is time to see the wider picture, to aspire to great things. Remember the tree grows in rich soils created over many centuries by the gifts of others. Those who have gone before us, the ancestors, provide nurture that spans the days between. We are never alone, for all that we are is of those who have gone before. We are the ancestors, and in the magic of knowing we are capable of calling on the highest of wisdom for our journey. We are earthed in that power, and grounded in its understanding.
The aspiring spirit, born of white pine, urges us to reach for the stars. Clarity is the gift it offers, clarity born of openness, of our willingness to reach beyond ourselves and grow. White pine sends its roots deep into the land. Thus does it hold fast, accepting the anger of the storm wind, dancing in its awesome power, and knowing that, too, will pass.
Kahikatea sees beyond ego, rises above the pettiness of small minds that have lost their way. Yet, it remembers to be humble, remembers that all make the journey in their own way.
Walk tall in the magic of Kahikatea, for it opens the path to the dream, and the time to aspire.
5. Waiting
Another name for this hexagram is Patience. It is not yet time to express your creativity. Instead allow the energy to build. Learn to flow with the Tao and remain sincere in your intent, and difficulties will be overcome. Be like a good fisherman waiting for a fish to bite. It will come in its own good time, whether you like it or not. A show of strength in this particular situation comes from waiting quietly and resolutely. Stick to your current path. To rush ahead or force results now will only stimulate resistance. Impatience will generate anxiety. Agitation is natural but abandoning your efforts will show weakness. Take this time for quiet contemplation instead. Patience is a powerful force.
Line four
Chaos and confusion. Survival is your immediate concern right now, not success. You may feel as if you are in an isolated and vulnerable position, and inferior forces may be trying to humiliate you, or get at you. You may feel that you need to escape, however, the only way out is through retaining your composure and patience. Do nothing that would entangle you further in the situation, and you will be free of it. New opportunities will come from sacrificing your current position. If necessary, keep out of sight to avoid direct confrontation.
43. Resoluteness
Another name for this hexagram is Determination. Using force will weaken your position. Instead, make a firm decision and continue in a sustained direction to overcome obstacles. Caution combined with resolute strength is appropriate now. If you diligently hold your ground, warding off negative tendencies or bad influences, goodness will prevail. Do not compromise with corruption — you cannot stop the spreading of lies with more of them.
The next new moon is in Gemini, on the 27th of May.
Transits
14-18 May
Jupiter in Gemini square the nodal axis (South Node and North Node), at 24º
Whenever something squares our natal or progressed nodal axis, astrologers call it a “skipped step”. It generally means that something is coming up from our past lives that needs to be dealt with because we didn’t complete that lesson in the past, and another opportunity has arrived on the eternal spiral of evolution. We generally need to deal with something or finish learning something that we didn’t fully complete in a past life. In collective astrology, it gives us a chance to re-do something as a collective or individually (if it is affecting your chart). When something squares the nodal axis, it forms a t-square (see chart below), which creates massive tension. The only way through a t-square is to focus on the missing corner of the square — this creates a grand cross, which is a totally transformational aspect. This time the missing corner is in Sagittarius, at a Pisces degree — the first thing that comes to mind is travelling (Sagittarius) overseas (Pisces). However, if that is not happening, then this is a good time to seek knowledge (Sagittarius) from a psychic or secret source (Pisces). Alternatively, religion, spirituality or meditation is a positive interpretation of Sagittarius and Pisces. Elias Lonsdale’s interpretation for 24º of Sagittarius is below.
T-Square in a chart
24º Sagittarius (the missing corner of the t-square)
The one who lives inside is awash in colors, tones, and symbolic ritual displays of an extraordinarily precise attunement to the heart and soul of ancient wisdom. You are suspended in a long-ago time. So much of your being is still back there. The evolution of the world since the ancient times is neither acknowledged nor accommodated in any way. It all depends upon whether this exquisite gift of soul remembrance is honoured or exploited. If it is exploited, which is so very tempting, the life empties out of meaning and value and becomes false and repulsive. If it is honoured, the expanded faculties on tap become revitalized and find a fresh relevance. As the Divine Feminine reveals what we need to know and draws us to our utmost capacity, it is with an unfallen grace of sensing directly into the deepest parts of people and all they can become in the ancient future just ahead.
14-17 May
Chiron in Aries semi-sextile the North Node in Pisces, and inconjunct the South Node in Virgo, at 24º
Something to do with the past needs to shift here. It’s as if something painful needs to be said, so that we can release the past and move towards our highest destiny. At a Pisces degree, this transit could be about secrets.
Chiron in Aries sextile Jupiter in Gemini, at 24º
This is an extension of the transit above. This looks like a heated conversation to me. Jupiter in Gemini expands communication. Chiron in Aries can be quite angry and hurtful. At a Pisces degree (again), this transit might be about secrets or hidden information. A sextile is an active aspect. This might be good time to avoid conflict, however, avoiding conflict might create tension and worries, so a painful conversation might be necessary. Only you know what the right thing to do is. Expect some tension and/or anxiety over these few days and plan accordingly.
15 May
Sun in Taurus semi-sextile Chiron in Aries and Jupiter in Gemini, at 24º
The Sun comes in to ease the tension of the above transit. The Sun in Taurus says that a slow, methodical approach might be needed today to interject between two parties in a conflict, or to dissolve anxiety.
Sun in Taurus sextile North Node in Pisces, and trine the South Node in Virgo, at 24º
Here, the Sun is methodically working towards the future, while making peace with the past. At a Pisces degree, we may need to simply work quietly behind the scenes on our personal projects today.
16 May
Sun in Taurus sextile True North Node in Pisces and True South Node in Virgo, at 25º
This is a good day to take the attributes and skills that we have gained from lessons learned in the past, and use them towards building our future. At an Aries degree, this is an active transit so getting busy today is a good idea.
17 May
Mercury in Taurus semi-sextile Venus in Aries, at 11º
Mercury in Taurus is all about establishing peace of mind and doing things slowly, methodically, properly and thoroughly. Venus in Aries is either angry or passionate about something. We might be working on our peace of mind today, because something is bothering us. At an Aquarius degree, we may simply need to separate from a problem in order to find the solution.
18-24 May
Chiron in Aries semi-sextile the True Node in Pisces, at 25º
Here we have another long-lasting, difficult Chiron transit (ouch!). We might feel as if there are obstacles in front of us that are getting in the way of us reaching our destiny. Perhaps, we don’t believe in ourselves. Perhaps, we are having doubts about our chosen path. This is not a good time to initiate projects, however, waiting might make us feel frustrated and angry (Aries degree). Instead, we may need to work on the obstacles that prevent us from moving forward. The pain that we are feeling at this time, is showing us what we need to work on during this difficult transit.
18 May
Sun in Taurus conjunct Uranus in Taurus, at 27º
When the Sun conjuncts Uranus, it generally highlights something that is shocking or strange to us. It may also highlight separation from family (Taurus). At a Gemini degree, there might be a lot of buzz on social media or a lot of talk about it. Alternatively, there might be a lot of mental energy being expended worrying. In Taurus, it could be about anything to do with our financial or food security, or it could be about old-fashioned family values. Alternatively, the Sun is highlighting radical shifts and changes (Uranus) to the status quo (Taurus). At a Gemini degree, perhaps our belief systems or thought processes are going through some radical changes. Remaining stable in the face of change will get us through today.
Mercury in Taurus square Mars in Leo, at 13º
Today, egotistical or arrogant people (Mars in Leo) may prevent smooth sailing or easy relations (Mercury in Taurus). A square is a tense aspect. At an Aries degree, some fireworks may go off. Alternatively, we may be determinedly pushing forward with our plans. If it makes you feel stable, secure (Taurus) and proud (Leo), you can be assured that whatever it is that you are working on or towards today, will bring rewards.
19-22 May
Jupiter in Gemini square the nodal axis, and sextile Chiron in Aries, at 25º
Whenever anything is square the nodes, it means that something was not completed in a past life — this means that there is karma to work out. Anything squares the nodes creates a t-square. T-squares create massive tension and the best way through is to focus on the missing corner of the square, which is at 25º of Sagittarius (please see Elias Lonsdale’s interpretation of 25º of Sagittarius below). Sagittarius represents law and the truth, and is about gaining knowledge and growth from learning. Focusing on the missing corner transforms a t-square into a grand cross. A grand cross is a totally transformational aspect, and the situation is likely to change beyond recognition. The only way through a grand cross is to ride event horizon like a surfer through a barrel wave.
Chiron complicates matters somewhat because he is sextile Jupiter, semi-sextile the North Node and inconjunct the South Node. Chiron adds pain to whatever he touches. He usually represents our deepest, darkest, most painful inner wounds but he can also represent physical wounds or physical pain. Something needs to shift regarding the past during this transit. Because Chiron is sextile Jupiter in Gemini, something may need to be said or alternatively, a difficult argument may the main feature of this transit. Sagittarius is telling us to focus on the truth of the matter — this may require us to do some research (Sagittarius) into the subject.
25ºof Sagittarius
The one who lives inside is awash in colors, tones, and symbolic ritual displays of an extraordinarily precise attunement to the heart and soul of ancient wisdom. You are suspended in a long-ago time. So much of your being is still back there. The evolution of the world since the ancient times is neither acknowledged nor accommodated in any way. It all depends upon whether this exquisite gift of soul remembrance is honored or exploited. If it is exploited, which is so very tempting, the life empties out of meaning and value and becomes false and repulsive. If it is honored, the expanded faculties on tap become revitalized and find a fresh relevance. As the Divine Feminine reveals what we need to know and draws us to our utmost capacity, it is with an unfallen grace of sensing directly into the deepest parts of people and all they can become in the ancient future just ahead.
22 May
Sun in Gemini sextile Neptune in Aries, at 1º
A sextile is an active aspect. The Sun in Gemini highlights communication or our mental processes. Neptune in Aries is about dissolving conflict, arrogance or anger. Perhaps, an argument needs to happen here. Perhaps, we need to work on ourselves and what is making us feel angry or arrogant. Perhaps, we need to stand up for ourselves or to put someone in their place (Aries degree). Gemini is also about driving or walking, but under this transit, you are likely to drive around in circles getting nowhere (Neptune in Aries) — just saying. Today is a good day for day dreaming about what makes us feel energised and/or passionate (Aries degree).
Venus in Aries trine Mars in Leo, at 15º
This is a very beautiful transit, that lasts for two days (it continues at a different degree — see transit below). Anything that you put your loving, passionate energy into today will thrive. This is a great transit for loving and/or passionate sexual relationships. At the very least, there should be an easy flow to anything that you do today. At a Gemini degree, this is a great day for reconciliation or for make-up sex (just saying). Today is also a great day for a massage. Alternatively, today is a great day to make plans — make the most of the energy available, because the worst thing to do today would be to remain stagnant or stuck in a rut.
23 May
Venus in Aries trine Mars in Leo, at 16º
This is the same transit as above but at a different degree. This transit is now at a Cancer degree so this might be a very passionate, emotional day. Alternatively, today is a great day to work on your home (Cancer) or to have a relaxing sauna or a long, hot relaxing bath (Mars at a Cancer degree). Making your living environment comfortable and aesthetically pleasing should give you great enjoyment, satisfaction and pride (Leo).
24 May
Sun in Gemini trine Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, at 3º
This is a very introspective aspect because Pluto is retrograde. With so much mental energy available, this is a great time for studying, writing, writing music, painting, meditating etc… Alternatively, talking about or working on our deep psychological issues will help us through today.
25 May
Mercury conjunct Uranus in Taurus, at 27º
We might be talking or thinking about changes that are happening or changes that need to be made today. Mercury conjunct Uranus represents spontaneous communication. Expect unexpected news today. Today is another good day for daydreaming our future into being.
26 May
Saturn enters Aries
Earthy Saturn has been in watery Pisces since March 2023, where it has led to some extremely subversive (Pisces) governments (Saturn), particularly with Neptune in his home sign (Pisces). Saturn entering Aries is quite a big deal because the prime meridian point (0º of Aries) is the first degree of the zodiac and represents the birth of something completely new after the long, dark death of Saturn in Pisces. The last time Saturn was at this degree was in 1996. This ingress (when a planet or point moves into a new sign) represents a whole new era. Saturn represents control structures — Saturn in Aries can represent a violent government (just saying). Saturn is weak in Aries, which lends to the violent government theory because weak planets tend to behave badly. However, Saturn in Aries could also mean that an entirely different type of government is in town. Aries has a bad reputation for being violent and temperamental but Aries can also be extremely idealistic and righteous (and passionate) — many Aries have laid their lives down for their political cause. For this reason, Saturn in Aries could also represent a fascist or overzealous regime.
Some very interesting transits will happen while Saturn is in Aries. Firstly, Neptune is already in Aries and Saturn and Neptune are gearing up for the biggest transit this year — the first pass of Saturn conjunct Neptune in Aries, on the 1st of August. Neptune in Aries is a relief (to me at least) because Neptune is a notoriously difficult planet to deal with because it deals with our weaknesses and our suffering, and Neptune is extremely powerful in Pisces (where he has been for 14 years). All those little babies born during Neptune in Pisces will be extremely psychic, particularly if they have Jupiter in Pisces too (between 13 May - 29 July 2021 and 30 December 2021 - 11 May 2022). When Neptune and Saturn are weak, it is not necessarily a bad thing for us mere Earthlings, however, they can behave badly when they are weak so it is important to use their energy wisely. A positive interpretation of Neptune is spirituality and charity. It is no mistake that Jesus of Nazareth, who told us to give to charity and to be kind to our neighbours is represented by the fish because astrologically, his arrival ushered in the Age of Pisces (which is represented by two fish swimming in opposite directions).
The most basic interpretation of Saturn conjunct Neptune is a religious movement and/or government — in Aries, it would be extremely passionate. However, there is more than one pass of this conjunction. Both Saturn and Neptune are retrograde during this first pass, and both will retrograde back into Pisces after this conjunction. Therefore, any new foundation is still fomenting in people’s minds and imaginations, and we will have to travel back into the dark depths of Pisces to finish something off first. Then in November (2025), Neptune in Pisces will sextile Uranus in Taurus at the anaretic degree (29º) for almost a month (more on that later on in the year). Then Saturn in Pisces will sextile Uranus in Taurus, for approximately two weeks in January 2026 (more on that later on). Then Saturn and Neptune will make the second pass (i.e. conjunction) at the same degree (0º of Aries), in February 2026. This is when the effects of this conjunction will truly begin because it is the last pass, and because both planets are moving forward. It’s as if the universe is giving us time to plan and conceive our ideas of governance and/or government, so that we can then put them into action properly and at the correct time.
0º Aries
A large halo in ring formation around the moon, Elias Lonsdale
The Earth is pregnant with alternate futures. Each of her progeny, each possible future could become the one chosen. The criteria center around whichever future stream is most genuinely surrendered to the highest will. It is the same microcosmically as macrocosmically. Many souls are pregnant with alternate futures. The one that prevails will likely be the one most surrendered to the absolute, the most rightful. You feel burstingly full of visions, possibilities, worlds, and streams. And you know that so very much shall pass away, but what is essential will keep on coming. It is very hard to tell who is who and what is what, which way to lean or how to conceive the way it shall go. But if you stay rooted in your inward awareness and enduring core sensibility, you will be tapped as a vessel for what is to be, and that is all you need to know.
A woman has risen out of the ocean, a seal is embracing her, Sabian Symbols
This degree is the beginning of the zodiac where the old gets left behind and a new understanding and awareness comes to light. Something new is emerging and it needs to be welcomed and nurtured. This is the beginning of a whole new impulse, creative and responsive. There’s an emergence of a whole new potentiality. Resist looking back to outgrown and unsatisfactory conditions in your life as they can pull you back to old and unrewarding ways of being. This is also about finding your voice and your feet. Beginnings. Emergence of the feminine into concrete manifestation. Cycles beginning. The beginning of spring or autumn. Confidence in a whole new arena of being. Shedding old skins.

New Moon, 28 April 2025
Welcome to The Apocalypse. I am your host, and this is the Marama (Moon) Report for the new moon in Aries, on the 28th of April 2025. New moons represent new beginnings and new moon energy lasts for approximately two weeks (until the following full moon). New moons are the best time to do affirmations and to set intentions for the future.
This is a very feminine new moon. This is a Taurus new moon at a Libra degree, with Venus (the ruler of Taurus) at the dreaded 28º of Pisces (a Cancer degree). Venus is part of a tight stellium, an astrological conjunction of multiple celestial bodies, including Ceres, the North Node, Saturn, and Neptune in Aries (complicated!). Firstly, the Moon is exalted in Taurus. The Moon can be extremely emotional and needy, particularly in Cancer (and Pisces). However, when Taurus lends his stability to the Moon, we tend to have a particularly solid emotional outlook. People with their natal or progressed Moon in Taurus tend to be particularly stubborn, but also extremely hardworking, emotionally stable, loyal and trustworthy. A Taurus Moon at a Libra degree is an extremely benevolent configuration.
Venus is also exalted in Pisces which makes her loving, benevolent energy extremely powerful. Therefore, this is an extremely benevolent new moon. So, what is going on with Venus at the dreaded 28º of Pisces? This degree is about malevolent spirits (whether human or not) and mental and spiritual torment. It’s a very difficult degree.
A hoard of monkeys chattering (28º Pisces)
Possession by local spirits in mischievous, playful fashion. Cast into an abyss. Dumped out of status and specialness and made to be hyper-receptive to whatever is moving here--an abandoned center, karmically sacrificed to learn both humility and the lessons of the street. The state of mind random, chaotic, inspirational, capricious, given to every kind of spirit passing through. Sorely troubled, yet fantastically out of touch. A regressive loop with powerful emanations. The feeling is that something must be done and that this will require a change of heart. But you gotta go deep, and it takes a whole lot of desperation to turn this one around.
Venus is also being sandwiched between two notoriously, cold, hard masculine planets with reputations for being particularly difficult. However, this conjunction is part of a stellium, and the best way to interpret a stellium is to start at the beginning, i.e. the planet or point at the earliest degree of the stellium, because stelliums usually tell a story. Ceres/Earth Mother/Papatuanuku is at the earliest degree (23º). The North Node comes next, at 25º. The North Node empowers whatever it touches. This bodes well for our benevolent yet degraded Earth Mother, and for women in general. The North Node also highlights our future destiny, so we are looking forwards here. Perhaps, environmental issues (Ceres) are salient at this time, or perhaps women (Ceres) are taking their power back. The North Node conjunct Ceres bodes well for the environment, and/or women in this situation.
Saturn is next in the line-up, at 27º. Saturn is similar to Ceres, in that he represents dense 3D reality so we are dealing with cold, hard facts here. Saturn is conjunct Venus by one degree. Saturn conjunct Venus implies unhappiness, restriction and depression. Saturn normally likes to rain on Venus’ parade, however, in Pisces, Saturn is weak but Venus is powerful (because Venus is exalted in Pisces). I interpret this as powerful women (Venus in Pisces) being restricted (Saturn) by secrets (Pisces). I’m thinking of women like Ursula von de Leyen and Kaja Kallas (of the European Union), who may be being exposed for war crimes and corruption etc (just as an example). With Saturn in Pisces, their careers could even be over. Alternatively, Saturn is lending Venus his solidifying, 3-dimensional energy to manifest reality. However, Neptune is at 0º of Aries, in an out of sign conjunction with the stellium in Pisces (within a 2º orb).
Neptune is an extremely watery planet, but Aries is a very fiery zodiac sign. For this reason, Neptune in Aries represents drought (i.e. water drying up) and we should take note of that because Neptune will be in Aries until 2039 (14 years). Over that time period, I can foresee clear, clean drinking water becoming a BIG issue (just a heads-up). Neptune in Aries also represents ego-death — Aries represents the ego, while Neptune represents death. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Banal superficiality and malevolent arrogance has been a feature of Western culture (at least) for far too long. However, because Chiron is also in Aries, this could also be a very isolating and/or painful time. I am very worried about the water situation, which is the foundation of all life on this poor, forsaken planet. However, I believe that we can manage it as a rational collective, so long as we keep our cool and our heads (Aries).
In the beginning of this 14 year transit, there could a lot of hot steam spewing over like volcanic lava. Over the next 14 years, the conflict that built up while Uranus was in Aries, will slowly dissipate. So back to Venus at 28º of Pisces. I know this degree intimately. It haunts my life. From personal experience, it represents all those compulsive stalkers out there, who lie and manipulate just to create as much pain as they can (because they aren’t happy with themselves and/or their lives). It also represents telepathic and dare I say it, reptilian stalking, so take care out there over the next two weeks, as this could be a dangerous and difficult time for some. Don’t be afraid to use positive affirmations for protection and to wear your spiritual protection on your sleeve during this time. Secret societies may start crawling out of the woodwork, like cockroaches (as they do). Watch out for those pagan ritual dates — they are not bad or evil in themselves. They represent peak times of cosmic energies (if they are even accurate — I don’t know because I don’t use them). I use astrology (as you can clearly see). These dates seem to be the preferred dates for human sacrifices (just saying) — also, be careful on new moons and eclipses. Yes, these mongrels exist and they gravitate towards positions of power, unfortunately. The freemasons and all beings, entities or people who ritually take life without their informed consent are a disease on this poor, forsaken planet, which needs to be eradicated permanently. Take extra special care of your whanau (family), particularly your mokopuna (children), on these dates (lest you lose them!).
Is this a new moon or an eclipse — it could be either?
Neptune represents death, and in Aries, it represents a violent death. With Chiron also in Aries (until April 2027), a painful death is highlighted. With so much negative energy being agitated, it is important to transmute that painful energy. Chiron also represents our highest potential to heal. A positive interpretation of this transit (in my opinion), using our pain (Chiron) to be creative — Neptune (and Pisces) represent our creativity and Aries represents passion and activity. Neptune (and Pisces) represent all forms of creativity including dance, music, writing, art.
Saturn in Pisces also represents death, so be very careful out there! This is a time where women (Venus) in particular, could simply go missing (Saturn in Pisces). Our brothers and sisters need to hold together, during this time. Because, the North Node is in play, this may just be the planning stage — scary! If you feel vulnerable at this time, and you have planets or points at the end of Pisces, you may even want to go into hiding (Pisces). Before you do that, try to transmute all that dangerous and scary Pisces energy into love (i.e. benevolent spiritual Pisces energy) or arohanui, through meditation and/or shamanism. Take care out there. Don’t let the bastards get you (because they might try)!
Personal protection
In an astrological chart, a new moon = the Sun conjunct the Moon. Papatuanuku/Papa/Earth is always at the exact opposite degree in the zodiac:
In astrology, the Mother Earth/Papatuanuku/Papa (along with Ceres and Saturn) shows us what is happening in real time (i.e. boots on the ground reality), while the rest of the chart can be interpreted quite spiritually. In this chart, Mother Earth is conjunct Dark Moon Lilith in Scorpio, by 4 degrees, and Vesta retrograde by 6 degrees (ouch!). Something very feminine and Scorpionic is going on here (warning!). Reality is not always pretty, and in Scorpio, it is likely to get downright ugly, and dark and scary (Scorpio) — just saying. Lilith in Scorpio is bad enough on her own! The Earth is sandwiched between two feminine asteroids (Lilith and Vesta), while Venus is being sandwiched by two masculine planets. Something very karmic (and sexual) is going on here, and I’m not exactly sure what — I will leave that up to personal interpretation.
Mother Earth conjunct Lilith and Vesta retrograde in Scorpio, suggests some very angry women. Mother Earth is clearly angry at the way she has been treated. Vesta represents the Virgin (similar to Virgo), however, when Vesta is retrograde, she can either be highly sexualised and/or oppressed. Lilith is very similar — she represents persecuted or oppressed women and/or raw female sexuality. Scorpio is a very sexual sign. Leo sex is about having fun. Aries sex is lustful and impulsive. However, Scorpio represents sex at its fundamental core. Scorpionic sex is often abusive, painful, traumatic, obligatory, deadly, or for money. A positive interpretation of Scorpionic sex is transformational, i.e. it is healing on a very deep psychological and/or spiritual level. I’m going to suggest that there are some very angry people out there, and they may be refusing to remain silent about it. Our sisters (in particular) may need to speak out against their abusers or they may need to share their abuse histories or stories, for deep Scorpionic transformational healing to occur. The truth of Scorpio is that it is about purging our pain, so that we can move forward without it. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, which is in Aquarius and opposite a very fiery Mars in Leo (by one degree). Therefore, this is an extremely passionate, fiery, and potentially explosive aspect. Perhaps, some healthy, consensual sexual healing will be deeply transformational over this time period. Alternatively, adamantly refusing to be victimised may be the only through a dark and difficult passage. Only you know the answer to that. See spiritual protection (above).
On a positive note, this is a very good time to focus on our finances. New moons are a good time to start projects. The new moon is in Taurus (and conjunct the part of fortune), therefore this is a particularly good time to start new financial ventures — any new commercial ventures that start over the next two weeks should be successful and lucrative! The new moon is at a Libra degree, so anything that promotes personal or social harmony, including luxury or beauty should do very well. Fine dining (Taurus) is also highlighted. Alternatively, any court proceedings or public engagements (Libra) over this time period, should produce material rewards. Anything natural or to do with nature (Taurus), should also do very well. Money (Venus) may also come from relationships (Libra) or from family (Taurus). Take care out there.
A large ruby inscribed with a prayer (7º Taurus)
A beautiful dream that comes true. Conceiving in your heart that a fresh life current is here to be met in the physical. Being magnetized to the spot where the New Earth arises. You feel deeply drawn to give yourself over completely to what the new life-wave asks. Sensing acutely that this is all that counts, and suffering for all of those who are shut off from the bounty. Knowing how hard it is to feel dejected and forsaken, and never forgetting the ache, the longing, the distances, and what it takes to earnestly clasp new life and realize you belong to the heavenly kingdom in the Earth and will never again be out in the cold.
Tarot
5 of Cups
Sadness. Loss. Grief. Regret. Feeling abandoned.
An unexpected change (all is not lost).
7 of Wands (reversed)
Overwhelmed. Oppression. Giving up.
9 of Cups
Abundance. Confidence.
A wish or dream comes true. Something good comes to you. Happy news.
Drinking. Socializing.
Strength (reversed)
Weakness. Poor health. Low energy.
Someone with addiction issues or a bad temper.
A dangerous adversary. Be very careful.
If you asked for advice: it is probably time to lose your rag at someone or to stand up for yourself.
I struggled to interpret this reading at first, but then it became clear. There is a lot of sadness in this reading — the five of cups is usually about a sad ending that is difficult to get over or to move past. However, in the five of cups, while three cups are overturned, there are still two remaining (that are being ignored). The five of cups is usually showing us that it is time to let go of the past so that we can make the most of what we have left of the future (lest we lose that too). The rest of the cards say that if we are feeling overwhelmed, overburdened, exhausted from conflict or just bullied into oppression (7 of Wands reversed), we should stand up for ourselves (Strength reversed), to get what we want (9 of Cups).
I Ching
43. Resoluteness
Another name for this hexagram is Determination. Using force will weaken your position. Instead, make a firm decision and continue in a sustained direction to overcome obstacles. Caution combined with resolute strength is appropriate now. If you diligently hold your ground, warding off negative tendencies or bad influences, goodness will prevail. Do not compromise with corruption — you cannot stop the spreading of lies with more of them.
Line one
Don’t attempt to push ahead now. The obstacle cannot be overcome without cooperation, however, to abort would also be dangerous. Be aware of overconfidence.
28. Critical Point
This is a time when energy has built up to dangerous levels. There may be conflict and chaos in the present. This may involve responsibilities, decisions or pressing business. This is a critical time where complacency or procrastination could be disastrous. Something needs to be done. You need to become clear of your aims and take action. You may need to leave or escape while you still can and worry about your destination later.
The next full moon is in Scorpio, on the 13th of May
Transits
28 April - 1 May
Lilith in Scorpio square Pluto in Aquarius, at 3º
This is the continuation of a transit that started on the 23rd of April. This is a very dark and scary transit, which has already developed traction, so be very careful. Firstly, it’s a square, so it is creating a lot of tension. However, Lilith square Pluto is something else. It is essentially, the Queen of Demons in tension with Hades (Pluto), the King of the Underworld (ouch). There is essentially a conflict going on between two very powerful forces here (either internally or externally). A Gemini degree suggests verbal disagreements or painful worries. Anybody with 3º in their natal or progressed chart should take extra care during this transit. I’m trying to think of a positive interpretation of this transit, and I am struggling. Perhaps, there is some deep, dark ugly shit (Pluto) that needs to be expressed (Gemini degree). I see some very angry people out there who have something to say, and they are not backing down. If you feel like the walls are caving in on you during this time, you might need to talk or write about what is going on deep inside your soul (Pluto). The problem with talking about our shame, pain and/or rage is that it is likely to lead to conflict during this transit (because of the tense square aspect). God help us all during this transit, but particularly the oppressed and persecuted who are desperately trying to break free from the chains of freemasonic servitude.
youtube
28 April - 12 May
Uranus in Taurus sextile True Node in Pisces, at 26º
This is quite a long transit, so it’s effects will last for months. Luckily, Uranus does not retrograde during this transit, or we would have real problems to deal with and the energy would last for much longer. This transit represents a determined push (Taurus degree) towards the future. Because the North Node (the future) is in Pisces, the future is still in dream form. Uranus in Taurus is saying that we need to make significant changes to the established order, before our dreams can come true. It might be a good idea to clarify what your dreams are and what needs to be changed for them to happen. A Taurus degree means putting work will generate rewards.
29-30 April
Venus is at the anaretic degree of Pisces
I don’t normally include the anaretic degree as a transit but because the anaretic degree of Pisces is the final degree of the zodiac, this is an important time. The anaretic degree of Pisces represents a final ending. Venus is exalted in Pisces, so she is very powerful there. Venus has finished her retrograde from Aries back into Pisces, and she is now preparing to re-enter Aries (see transit below). Venus is essentially closing out the past (Pisces), for a new beginning (Aries). This is a very good time to end anything from the past that is trying to cling on despite being passed its ‘use-by’ date.
1 May
Venus enters Aries
Venus has just had a very intense time in Pisces, and now she is re-entering Aries, where she is weak and angry. There might be a hangover from the Venus retrograde, where she dipped back into Pisces for a time. This could also represent a brand-new beginning (Aries) to do with love or money (Venus). If you left behind whatever needed to be left behind while Venus was in Pisces, this transit will be a lot easier. Just be aware that feminine Venus is quite uncomfortable in masculine Aries — converting anger into passion is the best way to keep relationships alive during Venus in Aries. Doing things you love is a great way to express Venus in Aries energy. Being creative is likely to lead to successful money ventures. Venus will remain in Aries until she moves into Taurus on the 7th of May, where she will be much happier.
3-4 May
Venus conjunct Neptune in Aries, at 1º
This is a very interesting transit. It essentially represents a brand new beginning (Aries degree). Neptune is the higher octave of Venus so they behave similarly. However, both Venus and Neptune are weak in Aries — this is not good because weak planets don’t behave well. A negative interpretation of Venus conjunct Neptune in Aries is love (Venus) dying (Neptune) due to conflict (Aries). A positive interpretation is a new spiritual beginning. This is not a good time to start a new financial venture, because Neptune might dissolve it.
4-17 May
Chiron in Aries semi-sextile North Node in Pisces, at 24º
This might be a difficult or painful time marred by frustration. We might feel like nothing is working for us regarding creating or moving towards our future, because our pain is in the way. We might feel like we are bashing our heads against a brick wall. This is quite a long transit to navigate, with multiple other difficult transits happening at the same time. This might be a good time to analyse what is holding us back from moving forwards. What pain are we attempting to carry into our future, and to work on that first.
5 May
Pluto goes retrograde in Aquarius, at 3º
When Pluto is direct, he represents deep internal issues. However, when Pluto goes retrograde, he becomes even more introspective. During retrograde periods, Pluto is generally looking backwards to the past at something deep in our psyches that requires our attention, before we can move forwards. In Aquarius, it could be to do with our friend groups, our communities, human rights or issues regarding our personal level of freedom. On a collective level, society (Aquarius) may be going through deep internal shifts and changes (Pluto retrograde). Pluto retrogrades last for months, so the effects of this transit will be long-lasting. Pluto goes direct on the 14th of October 2025.
6 May
Mercury in Aries sextile Jupiter in Gemini, at 22º
This is a very dangerous, explosive transit. Mercury in Aries is an expressive, impulsive and volatile combination. Jupiter in Gemini expands communication. This combination could lead to some quite explosive arguments (just saying). At the very difficult ‘kill or be killed’ degree (Nikolai Stojanovic’s degree astrology), this is a very dangerous transit indeed. Be very careful today. Luckily, this is a very short transit.
6-7 May
Venus in Aries sextile Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, at 3º
This is very difficult mental and/or emotional energy, in an active aspect. This could represent a hurtful argument, verbal abuse, worries or anxiety. Meditation will be beneficial during this transit. Luckily, this is just a short transit that we need to be aware of.
7 May
Mercury conjunct Chiron in Aries, semi-sextile North Node in Pisces, at 24º
This is another very difficult transit. Chiron represents our deepest pain and internal wounds. When Chiron is conjunct Mercury, we need to think about or discuss our internal wounds. In Aries, we may be feeling angry or impulsive. Jupiter in Gemini expands our minds and communication. Therefore, I see some very explosive arguments happening under this transit. Any arguments are likely to be about secrets (Pisces), or perhaps, the argument itself is a private (Pisces) argument. Alternatively, an argument may be necessary to close out a conflict.
8 May
Venus in Aries inconjunct Lilith in Scorpio, at 4º
Ouch!! Not gonna lie, this looks like a very difficult transit to navigate, and anyone with anything at 4º in either their natal or progressed chart is going to be affected. 4º is a Cancer degree so this is an extremely emotional transit. Something needs to shift (inconjunction). Venus in Aries is angry and so is Lilith in Scorpio. This could represent a competitive situation between two people, particularly between two women (both Venus and Lilith represent women). Lilith often represents the ‘other woman’, and Venus in Aries can be quite arrogant and/or egotistical. Therefore, this could be a drag out dogfight between two people in a triangle situation. Alternatively, Lilith in Scorpio could represent demons or malevolent spirits in your home (Cancer degree). Venus in Aries is actively expelling demons. Therefore, today would be a great day for a house blessing. Luckily, this transit only lasts for a one day.
11 May
Mercury enters Taurus
When fast-moving Mercury enters Taurus, communication slows down and our mental processes tend to stabilise. Mercury doesn’t particularly like being in Taurus, but slowing down might be just what we need after all that active and hectic Aries energy. We might want to spend more time with our families (Taurus), or focusing on our finances (also Taurus). Taurus represents the things we value in our lives, including our self-worth, achievements and our valued relationships. Taurus also represents our moral principles and values, so these might become a focus during this transit. Mercury will only be in Taurus until the 27th of May, when it will ingress into Gemini, and the pace will pick up again.
Mercury in Taurus semi-sextile Neptune in Aries, at 1º
I interpret semi-sextiles as two separate things happening independently of each other but they are connected in some way. Discussion regarding our moral values might affect our egos. Neptune in Aries represents ego-death. At an Aries degree, this is quite an active and/or angry aspect. Another interpretation is leaving your ego at the door — in other words, drop your shit and be yourself (Neptune in Aries) if you want smooth communication or mental stability (Mercury in Taurus).
12 May
Mercury in Taurus square Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, at 3º
To me, this looks like a conflict between mental stability (Mercury in Taurus) and deep psychological issues (Pluto retrograde). With Pluto in Aquarius, psychological issues are likely to stem from our friend-group, our social group, our community, institutions, or society in general. At a Gemini degree, we may need to talk to someone we trust, or we may simply be trying to maintain mental stability while our psychological issues are being triggered. This might be a good day to contemplate our deep-seated internal issues that are interfering with our peace of mind (Mercury in Taurus). It might also be a good day for meditation (Pluto retrograde), to help us find peace of mind (Mercury in Taurus).

Full Moon, 13 April 2025
I am sharing this early (again), in case something happens to me.
Welcome to The Apocalypse. I am your host and this is the Marama (Moon) Report for the full moon in Libra on the 13th of April 2025. Full moons represent endings, culminations and things coming to fruition. Full moon energy lasts for approximately two weeks (until the following new moon). Full moons are the best time to cleanse tarot cards and crystals in the moonlight, to empower them (I leave mine out overnight on a windowsill).
Here, we have a full moon (the Moon conjunct the Earth/Papatuanuku) in Libra, opposite the Sun conjunct Chiron exactly (!!), at an Aquarius degree. Venus (the ruler of Libra) is currently retrograde (travelling backwards in the sky from Earth’s perspective) at a Pisces degree, conjunct Ceres, Saturn, the North Node and Mercury in Pisces, so this full moon is about closing down (full moon and Aquarius degree) relationships (Libra). Libra moons tend to be harmonious. They are about finding balance and harmony, particularly in relationships. However, this one is in a wide ‘out of sign’ conjunction with Lilith in Scorpio, at an Aries degree (which is very dangerous indeed!). A full moon = the Sun opposite the Moon, which happens to be conjunct the Earth/Papa in the chart. The Sun is conjunct Chiron, the wounded healer exactly (ouch!!). This is a very dangerous and very wounded full moon, so expect some hurt feelings to come up, during the two weeks.
Lilith
Let’s talk about Dark Moon Lilith (a mathematical point in the sky rather than a celestial body), because she will be in Scorpio until December, and she is a very dark, scary and dangerous bitch (love you Lilith ❤️, please don’t hurt me 🙏🏼). This following is the story of Lilith. This is the original story of ‘original sin’, taken from the Sumerian tablets which predates the King James version of the bible by approximately 6,000 years. Apologies for any mistakes but I am writing from memory because I don’t have time to research at the moment because I keep getting arrested for NOTHING — please feel free to do your own research on this subject):
Lilith was Adam’s first wife. Lilith was Adam’s genetic and biological equal, i.e. she was not made from a piece of his rib bone (as Eve, his second wife was). If Eve was created from Adam’s rib, she was an abomination (in my opinion). Lilith was created in the same manner as Adam (or Adamu), via genetic modification. The Sumerian Tablets predate the old testament of the King James bible (a highly suspect translation of the Sumerian tablets), and they are remnants of an ancient civilisation. The Sumerian Tablets speak of “gods” (rather than a single God), who came from the heavens or the stars. The discrepancies between the modern version of the old testament and the Sumerian tablets do not negate the existence of an omnipresent consciousness, in my opinion (quite the opposite). Extra-terrestrial beings have resided on Earth/Papa for millenia. I will let people do their own research on that topic because I want to focus on Lilith’s story, which is very similar to the persecution of Queen Hapshetsut of ancient Egypt. But, I will let you do your own research on that subject too.
Hatshepsut
When Lilith asked one of the “gods” for equal rights (with Adamu), she was raped, tortured to death and cast into hell, where she was turned into a demon, despite being innocent of any wrongdoing (other than requesting that her genetic and biological equality to be acknowledged). Because of her bitterness, rage and festering grief over her lost husband and unborn child, she became the most ferocious demon of them all. Her cruelty towards men in particular (particularly bad men) was legendary (even among demons!). Her torture practices were so brutal that she even scared her fellow demons. She inflicted so much pain on her victims and their families, that demons revered her and put her on a pedestal. She wiped out entire bloodlines for the crimes of one family member, and she resorted to eating their children (and infants) in front of them, while screaming at them “DO YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND NOW????!!!!!!!”
The demons (as a collective) were so in awe of Lilith’s cruelty (and so scared of her), that they made her their Queen. That is how an innocent human woman became the Queen of Demons. In the Judaic Torah, Lilith sits on the right (or left, I can’t quite remember) side of God. I don’t claim to have read or to understand the Torah, but I believe that Lilith has earned her place at the highest table, simply for the sacrifices she has made. Lilith wants her place back. She is tired of being the “other” woman. She wants her position in HER family back, in other words, she wants to replace the ‘rib bone’ (Eve) that usurped her. Lilith in Scorpio does not fuck around and she does not take prisoners (unless she’s keeping them for later), and she is sitting on my right shoulder right now whispering in my ear “DO THEY FUCKING UNDERSTAND NOW????!!!!!”. My response is “I hope so, Lilith, I sincerely hope so”.
Let’s talk about Adam and Eve and “original sin” — according to the modern version of the story (the King James version), Eve cast humanity into a painful and sinful existence because she ate an apple from the Tree of Knowledge, and women have experienced severe pain during childbirth ever since (for her mistake). This does not make a lot of sense to me. Why is knowledge considered sinful when knowledge sets you free (unless you are living in captivity)??? Another version of the story states that Eve became pregnant to the snake in the Garden of Eden, and her first son Cain, was half-reptile because of that. Cain then murdered his younger brother Able (who was fathered by Adam). In this story, the different bloodlines of Cain and Able (i.e. Human vs Reptilian bloodlines) have been at war with each other ever since. This makes a lot more sense to me, but I will leave that up to people to form their own opinions (since this is such a controversial topic). This story also bleeds into the story of the Annunaki, and the conflict between two Reptilian half-brothers, Enki and Enlil, but I will leave that up to others to research, if they want to.
Let’s get back to full moon. Venus retrograde in Pisces is all about searching for and finding true love, and that might require going all the way back to the very beginning (Pisces). True love is not defined by red roses and chocolate kisses on Valentine’s Day (in my humble opinion). My definition of true love is unconditional love — and this may require some sacrifices on our part, in other words, we must be strong enough to walk away even if that is not in our interests. Anything less than that is pure lust. Alternatively, true love will fight to the death to protect their whanau (family), simply because that is the correct thing to do. If that is too painful for us to do, then God is our only hope (Pisces). If we turn away from true love, we lose our connection to God (however you resonate with that concept), and we lose our humanity. True love does not dictate, demand or coerce. True love does the right thing, even when it is too painful to bear.
Venus is conjunct Ceres, Saturn, the North Node, and Mercury (all in Pisces — scary!!). The only way to interpret such a line-up is to start at the beginning. Ceres, the Great Earth Mother/Papatuanuku asteroid actually comes first in the line-up because she is at the earliest degree. Ceres is conjunct Venus by 6 degrees, at the very difficult 18th degree of Pisces, so our Great Cosmic Mother is struggling with something. Venus is next in the line-up. Venus represents women in general (Venus also represents money and finances). Venus is retrograde and conjunct Saturn by one degree, at a Pisces degree (ouch!). Venus is going back in time (retrograde) and/or into the deepest recesses of her memory (Pisces), to cut something off or out (Saturn in Pisces). Saturn is at a volatile and angry Aries degree (ouch!). This does not bode well for financial institutions (just saying). The North Node is next in the line-up, which means that we are working towards our future or our destiny, and that this is a very powerful configuration! Then Mercury is at the very difficult 28th degree of Pisces. This means that there is likely to be a conversation sometime in the future (the North Node) with the malevolent spirits that have caused so much pain and insult, particularly to women (I’m talking about real women here, not the usurping rib bones who claim to be “real women”). When the North Node conjuncts a planet or group of planets (as in this case), it is saying that we are not quite there yet. Therefore, this is a preparation time.
Because the ruler of this full moon (Venus) is retrograde and conjunct Saturn in Pisces, this is a time to go deep inside ourselves and to look at the past, to determine what is really going on. To do that, we must first find stillness within our minds, and get right with ourselves, and our God (however we resonate with that concept). This is very deep stuff. This is not a Libra full moon to take lightly. Do not be surprised if some deep, dark and/or ugly stuff comes up. Things could get quite ugly or painful (not gonna lie to you). This feels like an ego-death to me. At some point, we have to let go of the pain and suffering that was inflicted on us in the past, so that we can move forward towards a less painful future (unless we want to hang on to that shit). If painful stuff from the past comes up for you at this time, and you feel floored by it, then this full moon is telling you that you cannot take another step forward until this internal wound is healed. Like an LSD trip, the only way to navigate your way through is to let go and enjoy the ride. If you fight it or try to control it, it is likely to explode in your face — embarrassment might be the least of our worries (just saying). Deep emotional pain is one hell of a ride but you can ride it like an event horizon into the future, or you can let it take you back down into the deep, dark dungeons of Pisces. It’s up to you whether you choose to heal this pain now or wait for another opportunity, when it comes back around on the astrological time spiral.
Venus retrograde in Pisces is inconjunct the full moon by one degree. This means that something needs to shift in ourselves, in order to find true love. This full moon is about healing relationships by finding our true selves. This full moon is also about love stories (Venus retrograde). Not many people know this, but the reason Gautama Siddhartha, the Buddha, gave up his wealth and kingdom in search of enlightenment was because his wife tragically died. His grief was so great that he gave everything away to become a beggar, in order to learn how to help others cope their pain, to alleviate their suffering. The answer that he found was as simple as ‘detachment’ (in simple terms). In other words, we must sometimes let go of what we love just because it is the right thing to do. At other times, we must let go so we can heal and move forwards. At other times, we must fight to the death to hold onto what we love, lest we lose it.
Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal was built by a Shah for his wife, to stand eternally as a testament of his love for her. It was built in the 1600’s and it still stands today so it has stood the test of time. Mars in Cancer trine Mercury and the North Node shows us that our emotions require a conversation sometime in the future with the malevolent spirits who hurt us in the past, however, the time is not quite right yet. We must make sure that when the time comes, that we are truly ready to heal the past and put it behind us. Mars in Cancer needs to cry. Because Mars in Cancer is trine Mercury in Pisces at a Gemini degree, we may need to have an emotional or painful conversation with ourselves. We might need to learn how to be alone before we can mend our broken relationships.
Inside Degrees, Elias Lonsdale
A tremendous boulder hovering over the ocean
Collective cycles are everything here. You are caught between worlds, part of many, belonging to none. Changes are imminent. The air is buzzing with future currents. No rest, no quiet, no continuity. Stillness. You verge on astounding things; held poised at the edge. You feel propelled by destiny to obsess upon where we all are now, where we came from, and especially, where we are going. Gathering impressions toward the harvest, staying tuned for further developments. And knowing it's gonna come any moment now, "I can feel it rising up.”
Tarot
Te Wheke (Octopus)
The arrival of the Octopus is an invitation to face some of our deepest fears. It is a significant time of self-discovery, the moment to reclaim your life within the realm of the West Wind, the place of reflection. Be gentle with yourself and honour the gentle child within. Remember you are the seer, the power that allows you to look into the past and into the future to decide what really matters in your life. This is the ‘burning ground’ where long experience tells you what to put aside and what to carry forward. The Octopus is a creation of the mind. Remember you are strong; you are the navigator guided by the stars and the whales. Everything gathers to help you open to your inner turmoil. Call forth the fear that is the source of your doubt and your pain. Call it up and see it revealed for what it truly is. Remember the shadow is a teacher, and that it is transformed and healed by love. Know that the Octopus offers the eighth tentacle of release — forgiveness. Find those who caused you pain and forgive yourself. Without forgiving ourselves, we remain victims of all they placed upon us, and allow it to continue. In resolutely facing your fear you will discover new strengths and new horizons. You will come to see that the monster of the deep is actually a gentle creature of the sea that helps your learning. It opens the way to many dimensions, to an awareness that helps you understand the place of the child and the family, and see a universe that moves beyond all boundaries.
Wisdom of the Four Winds, Barry Brailsford.
20. Contemplation
This is a time for composure and contemplation. Sincere inward attention brings deeper and deeper consciousness through purification. Disengage from personal attachments and use this time to reflect on your life and those around you. Become one with cosmic law.
Line 5
Self-examination is called for. You are in a position of authority and it is important that your actions accord with your words and values so that they provide an example to others. Avoid self-delusion.
Line 6
You are like the hiker who has finally reached the top of the mountain. Now you have enough life experience to realistically contemplate your life and truly evaluate who you are.
2. Receptivity
This is the feminine or yin principle of intuition and nurturing that is not generally honoured or understood in modern society. However, it is more powerful and healing than we realise. It is time to wait and respond when needed rather than being prominent or in control of the situation. Perseverance and receptivity (rather than action) will attract gifts and blessings. This is not a time to be assertive, demanding or even conspicuous, lest you find yourself isolated or alienated. Instead, be patient and mindful. Channel equanimity and grace and don’t try to push the river. Let the river instead, flow to you. Let go of extraneous elements and let the universe take you where it wants to. Let go of ego or talking too much, and instead honour the Tao that flows within. Answers will come from intuition and introspection. Align with the flow of creative power and the collective, and all will be well.
Transits
13 April
There is a complex series of transits going on today (warning!). This is a difficult day for me because it is my father’s birthday. RIP Dad ❤️.
Venus goes direct in Pisces, at 24º
Venus has been retrograde (going backwards in the sky from our perspective) since the 3rd of March. When Venus turns direct, the air clears and we begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Venus retrogrades are about working out our love lives and our finances, so by now, we should have a clear vision of who we truly love (Venus in Pisces) and what we truly value in our lives, and how we can achieve that.
Saturn in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus, at 25º
This is the tail end of a three-day transit (that started before this full moon). A sextile is an active aspect. An Aries degree is also an active aspect. This aspect is all about smashing existing or established structures (Uranus in Taurus), until there is nothing left but the truth. I am very worried about this transit, and I believe that it is no coincidence that it carries over into this full moon because that means that the energies of this full moon will continue until the next new moon. Therefore, this full moon is a continuation of the previous new moon and this extremely volatile transit will be a feature of the next two weeks. Warning!
Sun conjunct Chiron in Aries, at 23º
Ouch!!! This is highlighting our pain and rage regarding the internal wounds that we carry around with us and afflict our identities and personal perceptions. At an Aquarius degree, we want to break away from something that is causing or triggering our pain. This is a very difficult and painful transit that only lasts for one day (lucky!). Take care of yourselves today.
Mars in Cancer trine North Node in Pisces, at 27º
Mars in Cancer is emotionally volatile, tense and frustrated, because he is very hurt, but he is working towards a more harmonious future. Today is a day to channel your inner hurt and pain into planning or building a better future.
14 April
Today is another very complex day with a lot of conflicting energy, so take care out there:
Sun in Aries semi-sextile Venus stationing in Pisces, at 24º
One day after Venus turns direct in Pisces at a Pisces degree, the Sun semi-sextiles Venus exactly. Something very powerful is happening today. Venus has now straightened something out from the past that was dragging her down, and now she is ready to lay it to rest so that she can move onto what she is passionate about (Sun in Aries). As an old track comes to an end, a brand new one emerges to take us towards our destiny/dharma.
Mercury in Pisces trine Mars in Cancer, at 28º
This is a very difficult transit (not gonna lie). What I see happening here is crippling depression that is exacerbated by malevolent spirits (28º of Pisces). It would be very easy to get lost in the darkness today. With other complex transits happening today, it would be very easy to think that there is no hope today, but you will find that this is just a passing phase. Don’t let the demons get you today because they will be gone by tomorrow. However, today would be a very good day to do a blessing ritual on yourself, your house and your family.
Saturn conjunct North Node in Pisces, at 26º
Saturn tends to restrict things and make things hard. Saturn conjunct the North Node represents an obstacle to reaching your destiny. A Taurus degree represents family, stability and things that you value, such as your self-respect. Alternatively, Saturn has the effect of concretising situations, so this is a good time to make firm decisions and to set plans in place towards our highest destiny. Today is a very good day for making affirmations. Here are some positive affirmations that I often use (as examples):
I always find myself in the right place, at the right time, with everything working out wonderfully.
This situation is going to work out even better than I could have imagined.
I am safe.
15 April
Sun in Aries semi-sextile Uranus in Taurus, at 25º
The Sun in Aries is about our egos (i.e. our identities), and how healthy they are. Alternatively, the Sun in Aries is about conflict. Uranus in Taurus is about change or breaking down established structures. At an Aries degree, this is an aggressive transit. Be careful today because this short transit ushers in the 10-day transit below, therefore, the events that occur today will have a much longer effect. Warning!
15-25 April
Uranus in Taurus sextile North Node in Pisces, at 25º
This 10-day transit that is signalled by the Sun in Aries on the first day, is quite a dangerous transit. Not only does it last for 10 days but it involves Uranus and the North Node (i.e. radical shifts regarding the future). At an Aries degree, this is quite a dangerous transit. However, this destructive energy can be transmuted into positive energy, by using it to make changes in our lives that will make way for our highest destinies.
16 April
Sun in Aries semi-sextile Saturn in Pisces, at 26º
This is a stubborn transit (Taurus degree). The Sun in Aries wants to shine brightly, while Saturn in Pisces wants to close out secrets. This suggests to me that malevolent forces may need to be dealt with, regarding the truth at the heart of the matter. A Taurus degree suggests that being stubborn or inflexible regarding hidden information and our identities, may be necessary today.
Mercury in Pisces trine Mars in Cancer, at 29º
This is an ending (29º is the last degree of any sign). This could represent a very deep wounding to the soul or it could represent a very deep healing of some kind. Today might be a good day to consciously close out whatever baggage you may be attempting to carry into your future. Be careful of depression today, and be extremely careful of suicidal impulses today because they may be passing whims, particularly if you have anything at 29º in your natal or progressed charts. Warning!
17 April
Mercury enters Aries
Mercury in Aries is busy. He likes to get into everybody’s business and stir the pot. Be careful of arguments and conflicts that explode (Aries) during this transit which luckily only lasts until the 11th of May — Mercury retrogrades in Aries can get quite violent, however, Mercury will not retrograde again until the 18th of July (in Leo).
19 April
Mars enters Leo
Mars in Leo is about indulging the ‘self’ (i.e. the ‘id’). Mars in Leo loves to preen himself in front of the mirror and make a spectacle of himself in public. A healthy Mars in Leo is proud of who he is and of his self-worth. An unhealthy Mars in Leo is arrogant and selfish. See the transit directly below for more information. Mars will be in Leo until it moves into Virgo on the 18th of June.
19-20 April
Mars in Leo trine Neptune in Aries, at 0º
Mars in Leo is just “fabulous darling”. Neptune in Aries represents ego death (in a nutshell). I’m not exactly sure what is going on here but it speaks to me of being put in our place (if necessary). Because both Mars and Neptune have just entered fire signs, fire energy is very potent and 0º is the embodiment of the zodiac sign it is in. Over these two days, it might be a good idea to focus on developing a healthy self-esteem, rather than indulging in ego-masturbation (just saying).
Mercury in Aries inconjunct Lilith in Scorpio, at 2º
Something needs to shift here (an inconjunct aspect). 2º is a Taurus degree which implies stubbornness. Dark Moon Lilith is speaking very clearly and boldly here. She is saying that she is very angry, and that she is not going to stop until the truth is told and justice is served.
20 April
Sun enters Taurus
When the Sun enters Taurus, it is time to slow down after the busy Aries season. It is time to work solidly but cautiously and methodically. The Sun will be in Taurus until he moves into Gemini on the 21st of May.
Sun in Taurus square Mars in Leo; Neptune in Aries semi-sextile the Sun and trine Mars, at 0º
What a line-up! Mars in Leo is the activator in this line-up. Mars in Leo square Sun in Taurus represents a conflict between one’s personal sense of self and one’s sense of duty. Mars in Leo is particularly concerned about children. Leo and Taurus are fixed signs, therefore, this may be a difficult or stubborn conflict to navigate. Neptune in Aries represents a dissolving of our ego and/or our identity — this is in harmony with our personal obligations to protect our families as well as our obligations to perform our duties. 0º is the embodiment of the sign it is in. The signs involved are fiery and stubborn, so take care with this difficult transit. My advice is to avoid ego-politics during this difficult transit.
21 April
Mercury in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius, at 3º
To me, this represents an explosion of communication (Mercury in Aries and a Gemini degree). A sextile is an active aspect. Pluto in Aquarius brings up deep internal stuff in quite a radical way. This aspect could trigger some explosive arguments, when it may be more productive to go our own way rather than indulge our lower natures. Luckily, this transit only lasts for one day.
23 April
Sun in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius, and square Lilith in Scorpio, at 3º
This is a t-square in fixed signs. T-squares create immense tension. Fixed signs are particularly stubborn and difficult to deal with. At a Gemini degree, be particularly careful of hurtful words that can’t be taken back. If you focus on the missing corner of the t-square (a t-square represents three corners of a four-sided square), you will be able to transmute all that tension into transformational energy. The missing corner in this case is Leo. Therefore, be loud, be proud and above all, be yourself. Authenticity is the hallmark of a healthy Leo.
Below is the interpretation for 3º of Leo (the missing corner of the t-square):
A rickshaw Hyperactive. Engrossed in sensations. Absolutely fascinated by the ins and outs of everything. Training yourself arduously to become completely present in the action. Insisting upon getting it right. Aiming for spirit and flesh to merge. Knowing how to do it and feeling sharply motivated. However, the little self does get carried away with the literal outward experience so very easily. You must battle to harness your powers and to pull yourself away from random delight. It is quite a journey, with one great thing going for yourself. You just know that you can do anything you set your mind to, and you are correct.
23-24 April
Pluto in Aquarius square Lilith in Scorpio, at 3º
This looks like a very angry war of words to me. A square is a tense aspect. 3º is a Gemini degree, so either communication or our minds are involved. I see conflict, either between people, factions, or within our own minds. Be careful of thinking that you are going crazy today. There is an issue that needs to be addressed or resolved, whether with others or within our internal mechanisms. There is some deep dark ugly shit that is creating conflict. These are two days to be very careful of glossing over the issues in order to avoid the truth, because this could be a very dark, vengeful and/or violent transit.
26-27 April
Mars in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius, and square Lilith in Scorpio, at 3º
This is a very similar configuration to the t-square, on the 23rd of April. This is another very tense t-square in fixed signs, at a Gemini degree. However, the missing corner in this grand cross is in Taurus, therefore, the way through this very difficult aspect is through Taurus. Therefore, being stubborn and stable, and getting on with your work will transmute the difficult energies into transformative energy, and then anything is possible!
Below is the interpretation for 3º of Taurus (the missing corner of the t-square):
A sleepwalker Everything begins with an inward cast, and then if you wish to get anywhere you must go there on the inside and meet yourself there when you arrive. You feel a desire to memorize the territory of all the inner ways--to remember them, to recognize them and to be able to follow them when it counts. You feel like you've been taught in the dream state, shown everything in dreamless sleep and through dreams. You're subtly and pervasively closely accompanied by a protective guiding spirit. Held within the soul's alembic. Entrusted to the angels. Living in threshold sensitivity, attuned to the edge. Led by the spirit through darkness into light. Subliminal, enchanted, anxious, and at peace. Always searching for something more. Remembering in your soul the lost Earth ways and giving over to spirits, you belong to the infinite and wander through the finite worlds. You are like a stranger, knowing something else is at stake here. Something else is going on here. Something else is completely involved.
The next new moon is in Taurus, on the 28th of April.

New Moon, 29 March 2025
Aries
Welcome to The Apocalypse. I am your host, and this is the Marama (Moon) Report for the new moon in Aries, on the 29th of March 2025. New moons represent new beginnings and new moon energy lasts for approximately two weeks (until the following full moon). New moons are the best time to do affirmations and to set intentions for the future.
It’s finally Aries season! Spring is here (in the Northern hemisphere). This is an explosive Aries new moon, at an expansive Sagittarius degree (just saying). Aries season is usually the season of new beginnings and fresh energy (depending on which sign Mars is in). However, there are a few concerning aspects regarding this very powerful new moon. The main reason that this new moon is so powerful is that the Sun is exalted Aries, i.e. Aries is the most powerful position that the Sun can be in (a new moon = the Sun conjunct the Moon). When the Sun is in Aries, it burns very brightly indeed. Aries is the sign of aggression, conflict and war (Ares is the god of war).
Ares
Another concerning thing is that Mars is still in Cancer. Mars is impulsive in general, but when he is in Cancer, he is emotionally frustrated and volatile. Mars in Cancer is emotionally fucked up, basically. I’m looking forward to Mars moving forward into Leo, where we will all feel much better but will have to be careful of being too confident or arrogant. Right now, Mars is not confident at all and Mars does not like it. Mars is still going through his shadow period after his last retrograde. A shadow period is where a planet is moving forward towards the degree that it began going backwards at (i.e. retrograding). Mars is also at the very dangerous ‘kill or be killed’ degree (Nikolai Stojanovic’s degree astrology). This degree is the assassin’s degree. It is also the degree of the victim. I have this degree in my chart, and it is a very dangerous degree (I am still fighting every single day, just to stay alive).
Another concerning feature of this new moon is that it is square (a tense aspect) to the asteroid Chiron, the wounded healer, exactly (ouch!!!). This is not good. This means that the ruler of the new moon is square Chiron exactly, in his own sign (Mars rules over Aries). This is a very painful aspect. Chiron represents physical wounds, particularly when he is direct (which he is). Mars is the god of war — you can do the math. If war is already here and war is coming, this means that a significant escalation of existing battlefronts is likely to come under this new moon. Another concerning feature is that Chiron is conjunct this new moon (in quite a wide conjunction). This means that pain (Chiron) from war (Aries) is a feature of this new moon (ouch!!). God knows that we have suffered enough, but a fact of war is that losers get desperate and desperate people are extremely dangerous. I suspect that a whole new conflict might emerge just when we think we might finally be getting a break.
Chiron, the wounded healer
Another concerning aspect of this new moon is that Pluto in Aquarius is sextile (an active aspect) Mercury in Aries, by two degrees. This is significant because Mercury is at an earlier degree in Aries than the new moon, which means that Mercury is speaking first. I’m not going to lie, this speaks to me very clearly of nuclear implosion. Pluto (death) in Aquarius (technology) is bad enough but Mercury at 0º of Aries beats the war drums very loudly. I interpret 0º of any sign as being the epitome of the sign it is in (so does Nikolai Stojanovic), and Aquarius (an air sign) and Aries (a fire sign) are an explosive combination. However, there is more. Mercury is conjunct Neptune at the anaretic degree of Pisces, which simply means a final ending (it also represents death). But wait, there’s even more. Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio is inconjunct Mercury, exactly (ouch!!!). Lilith has just moved into Scorpio so she is energised with fresh energy (and feeling powerful and ready for a fight). Lilith in Scorpio is fucken scary (just saying). Lilith in Scorpio is very, very dark and vengeful indeed.
Lilith in Scorpio
Lilith in Scorpio is vengeful because she has been persecuted, oppressed and in pain for so long that her rage and pain have become all that she is. She is a very tortured soul. Because Lilith is inconjunct Mercury, she is saying that something needs to change, and she is saying that if it doesn’t, all hell is going to break loose. But wait, there’s more. Venus is at the very difficult 28th degree of Pisces, which speaks of mischievous spirits that won’t back down, i.e. demons and malevolent spirits. This means that Venus is being persecuted (in fact), so Lilith is not wrong to feel the way she does. Not only that, but Venus is conjunct Neptune (at the anaretic degree of Pisces by 1 degree), which means to me, that there is a concerted effort to exterminate a group of people, and that is being hidden (Pisces). Not a lot of people believe in demons, but I do. It’s entirely up to you. I have seen them with my own eyes and they can be very powerful, if you let them in. They get in where people have holes in their armour, which is where they tell lies or have done things, that they can’t justify to themselves. Demons let other beings in, and if you can’t stand up to them yourself, you had better get right with God fast (however, you understand that concept).
But wait, there’s more. Venus represents loving people but Venus is flanked by Neptune and Saturn in Pisces — I can see these people disappearing if something isn’t done about it. To me, this represents ethnic cleansing and I can’t emphasise how much this is going on right now (e.g. Palestine, Syria and Africa). If we stay sleep during this time, it will be too late. If we don’t fight to protect people now, we will be next. This is only my opinion but it is coming from such a powerful place in my heart, that I feel that I must share it (take it or leave it). Venus is also conjunct the North Node in Pisces, so this will be our future if we don’t be like Aries and do something about it. The war was over months ago, but we are dealing with the Terminator here and they just don’t seem to want to back off.
But wait, there’s more. Uranus in Taurus is sextile Saturn in Pisces, at a Pisces degree. If I am correct, then the counter-movement to the extermination project (that I see coming in my mind’s eye) wants to smash the existing order. The counter-movement is saying “your time is up — we have put up with your shit for long enough and it’s time for you to go where you will be happy” (i.e. hell). This aspect looks to me like a complete breakdown of the established order, which I find very frightening — why can’t we all just live in peace, without being trafficked for sex, sold into slavery or forced into death camps? Now that I have probably scared the living bejesus out of you, I will try to find some remedies to help us deal with all of this very dangerous energy.
Kali and Shiva
This is Kali, the Hindu Moon goddess of war (and a Dark Moon Lilith archetype). When she gets angry at people who have persecuted her or other people, she goes to war, baby. She gets so angry that she goes on a rampage and she can’t stop — do you see all the heads around her neck?. Don’t worry about the man under her foot though. He is Shiva, her husband, lying in a pile of dead bodies waiting for her to recognise him. He is saying “hun, it’s me, your hubby, have you finished rampaging yet?” and she is saying “oh shit, I got a bit carried away didn’t I babe”. He replies “yeah babe, you ready come home yet?”. She looks around and says “yeah, I probably should, thanks babe, love you ❤️”. I think we know what’s going to happen next, by the way he is looking up her skirt (just saying).

Kali and Shiva (just saying)
A positive interpretation of Mars in Cancer is a sweat lodge. I think men should do this regularly anyway because they need time be men and to be themselves. However, saunas and sweat lodges will be very beneficial for both sexes during this time. Saunas will help to release all that anger and toxic energy. If you share it with good people, you will bond with them on a spiritual level and form healthy relationships (hopefully). It is a very healthy indigenous practice that we would all benefit from. You don’t even need to go out if you have a bath at home (that’s how I do it).
This new moon tells me that there is no more time to sit on the fence. The divergence of worlds is here — pick a side (end of story). If you are not helping the cause, you are part of the problem. We have been through a hell of a lot in the past few months and more is coming down the road. We are all weary of conflict and just of life in general. It will be very easy to get bogged down in conflict during this difficult time. It seems unfair that we have had months of extremely difficult moon phases, so I looked ahead to see when the carnage will end and the energies will shift in a more positive, constructive direction again. On the 11th of June, there will be a full moon in benevolent Sagittarius that will be so loving (Jupiter in Cancer) that it will knock our socks off. Things are tough right now and it’s a very scary world out there, but there is light and hope coming. We just need to stick around for the changes that are coming.
Inside Degrees, Elias Lonsdale
I’m going to do something different here and share interpretations for two degrees. The first is 9º Aries (the new moon) and the second is 22º Cancer (Mars).
A Fat Man in a State of Reverie Smoking a Hookah (9º Aries)
Superior to the world. Experienced and sophisticated. Seeing in the future what you have seen in the past at the next point in the spiral. Bored and worldly-wise. Unchallenged by the pace and the wits of others, you are disdainful and haughty. Yet in the center of all this lies as fresh a perception and way of being as the outward husk has grown decadent. Bearing inside new worlds, trumpeting outside your disengagement from old worlds. You walk an edge sharp and dangerous between your impatient dismissal of the past and all worlds linked with the past, and a hunger and yearning for a different world altogether that burns and aches and will not go away. Along that razor's edge lies destiny. Half-volatile and half-triumphant. These two sides war and collide in a rivalry for who will decide the outcome.
Bunches of Watercress Growing by a Cool Spring (22º Cancer)
Spacious. Making room for worlds to be born, new life to arise, the fount of existence to be tapped, the center of things to become vital again. A global sensibility, a universal dream, a brotherhood/sisterhood vision to repopulate the world with vital, fresh beings, to find the place inside that is sustaining and renewing and to give it forth abundantly. A certain spirit of destiny breakthroughs — something different previously unsuspected. Diving for the eternal waters, and here they are if they are called in at full power. The one given the task to refocus the shared aspiration to bring us all together. The presence of the Great Goddess force at every level, accessible if dreamed up and invited in. The cracking through at the peak time and place. All is revitalized. Everything forgotten comes on the spiral to the next octave and is released into the celebration of being.
This beautiful deck is the Motherpeace tarot deck by Karen Vogel. Because they are round, they have four different meanings depending on the position of the cards — upright, reversed, left and right. Both of these cards are presenting in the righthand position.
V. The Hierophant (right)
In this card, we see a man dressed as a women, and he is hiding his underlying biases. The women are forced to pay homage to him. His structures and systems depend on people being dependent on him. The Heirophant intentionally stands between women and their source of power (nature). In this position, the women are actively challenging him because they no longer believe in him.
XVII. The Star (right)
In this card, the Pleiades star system is shining down on a woman who is bathing in the healing waters of a mineral hot spring, to restore her balance and wash away her painful memories. She can now heal and find good in everything, where before, there was only pain and sorrow. In this position, she is actively working to reach out for healing.
Creativity
This is the masculine or yang principle of dynamism, energy and power and it is one of the most auspicious hexagrams in the Ching. Now is the time to be active and to take initiative. It is time to be in the driver’s seat of your life and an excellent time to exercise leadership skills. Build, create, and do.
Line 1
Have patience. The time is not quite right yet. Your time is coming.
Line 3
A sphere of influence is opening up for you now. Be bold but careful. Don’t scatter your energies and hold on to your vision. Maintain stability and virtue.
6. Conflict
Direct opposition cannot be circumvented and it is wise to consider the best use of your energy. It might pay to address past misunderstandings and to inquire into your own motives, as well as the motives of others. Conflicts in which one party is insincere, inevitably lead to subterfuge and distortion. Try to be impartial and objective, in order to get to the heart of the problem and keep your ability to compromise open. Contemplate the source of the issue rather than indulge in competition. In such situations, it is important to keep a clear head and to look out for your own interests, even while seeking compromise.
Transits
29-30 March
Chiron in Aries square Mars in Cancer, at 22º
Ouch!! Chiron, the wounded healer in Aries, square Mars in Cancer, at the ‘kill or be killed’ degree (Nikolai Stojanovic). Holy fuck! — this is not a fun transit. There is so much negative energy and pain in this transit that I don’t know where to start. These two days might be a time to avoid other people’s pain and trauma (because it will come out), or to be aware that losing control and taking someone’s life under this transit, is a very real possibility. Breathe … (don’t lose it, please). If you are worried about this transit, check whether you have 22º in your chart (like I do) because it is a very difficult degree and it will be triggered by this transit without a doubt.
29 March - 5 April
Saturn in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus, at 24º
This transit overlaps and extends the very difficult transit above. A sextile is an active aspect and Uranus wants to break down established structures. Saturn is in Pisces and this transit is at a Pisces degree, therefore, there is likely to be an ending. Saturn also represents established structures, so expect something to fall apart during this transit.
31 March
Neptune enters Aries
Because Neptune is such a slow-moving planet and it spends so long in each sign, this is quite a big deal. Neptune has been in Pisces for approximately 14 years. In Pisces, Neptune was exceptionally powerful because it is domicile in Pisces (domicile means that Pisces is Neptune’s home sign). Neptune in Pisces has brought us some of the most deceptive times in modern history — Pisces represents deception, fear and confusion. Watery Neptune does not like being in fiery Aries. This is bad for Neptune but good for us, because a powerful Neptune is quite difficult to deal with (just saying). Neptune in Aries will bring with it a whole new set of problems but they will be less terrifying (omg, the last few years!). The first thing that comes to mind is drout. If Neptune represents water and Aries represents heat and fire, I can see serious water shortages coming over the following 14 or 15 years. This might be something that we should start taking a lot more consideration of, in future. Spirituality might also just dry up, or be war-focused (Aries). Our sub-conscious minds will receive a cleansing by fire. Lucky Neptune is weak in Aries! People might feel lost and hung out to dry. I forsee dystopian scenes of people truly struggling for lack of access to spiritual practices. To counter this outcome, I suggest focusing our spirituality on our anger and using the colour red in our spiritual practices. Fire rituals including sweat lodges are a great way to use the energies available, and to intercept the negative interpretations which pretty dire to me.
Neptune will go retrograde in Aries at 2º (a very powerful degree) in July and then retrograde back into Pisces on the 23rd of October. Neptune will then station direct at the anaretic degree of Pisces on the 11th of December. I’m scared, just saying (more about that later). Neptune will re-enter Aries on the 27th of January 2026.
31 March - 4 April
Neptune in Aries inconjunct Lilith in Scorpio, 0º
This is just a bitch of a transit. Lilith in Scorpio is a super bitch. Ouch! An inconjunct means that something needs to shift. Neptune in Aries is nuclear implosion. It’s losing your shit in a big way. It’s a mental implosion of emotions. At 0º, this is one scary motherfucker of a transit (not gonna lie to you). This is run for the hills material. Don’t get caught up in the maelstrom. Come back to centre and purge your demons in the face of raw power.
3-4 April
Venus conjunct North Node in Pisces, at 26º
This is an exceptionally loving and beautiful transit to balance out the hardship of the other aspects that are going on. This is love. This could be God (however you resonate with that concept). The multiverse takes away and then She gives back. This is the feminine yin to masculine yang energy that is so very dangerous. This transit represents the healing, loving arms of the great Earth Mother Goddess/Papa wrapping around us to take us to our future/dharma/destinies. What can I say. This is a time to go to the ocean at night and truly be grateful for the love that we have in our lives. If we are completely lost at this time, please turn to God and make peace with yourself, and I assure you that you will receive the loving light of God back. This is one of the most beautiful transits imaginable. Venus is exalted in Pisces, where she represents true love. The North Node empowers everything it touches. Pisces represents God. At a Cancer degree, the love is so immense that it could change the world. This is one of the most harmonious energies that the Cosmos can produce. Please use it wisely and with love.
6 April
Sun in Aries sextile Jupiter in Gemini, at 16º
The Sun is exalted in Aries, where he burns very brightly indeed. Jupiter is in detriment in Gemini (the opposite sign to Jupiter’s home sign, Sagittarius). A sextile is an active aspect. This is a hard-out, explosive hand-to-hand combat transit. At a Cancer degree, the only interpretation that I come up with is that this will happen at home. I see houses burning. This is a fight with all your might transit. If people come to your home with bad or nefarious intentions, now is the time to let them know that you are prepared for a fight and they should see that you are not to be messed around with, and leave. I suggest leaving your lights on tonight to ward off bad people and evil spirits.
6-13 April
Saturn in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus, at 25º
Uranus in Taurus wants to smash the existing order for the sake of change. Uranus is the rebel of the zodiac. Saturn in Pisces represents the deep state. A sextile is an active aspect. At an active Aries degree, your guess is as good as mine. This is an 8 day transit, with other transits happening during this time period, so expect an action packed week. The following transits will have an interesting impact on these energies.
5-7 April
Venus hits Saturn in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus, at 25º
Venus enters the equation on the same day. This 3 day transit adds Venus’ exalted loving light to the tumultuous energies, at a fiery, active Aries degree (no less). Venus conjunct Saturn is a very sad aspect. Venus is extravagantly loving while Saturn is cold, hard and stern. However, Venus is exalted while Saturn is weak in Pisces. This means that Venus will turn Saturn’s cold, hard reality and tangible things into power. Venus conjunct Saturn in Pisces, particularly with the North Node very close by is a very clear representation of the holy Father. Take that however, you want to.
6-7 April
Mars in Cancer trine Venus conjunct Saturn in Pisces, and sextile Uranus in Taurus, at 25º
You couldn’t make it up. Mars in Cancer also enters the equation, at an Aries degree. These two days in particular are going to be complex and complicated. There is so much watery energy flowing and stable Taurus is being afflicted by Uranus. Mars in Cancer is fucking frustrated and wants to move towards a more harmonious future, no matter fucking what. Because the North Node is also involved, conjunct Venus and Saturn in Pisces, Mars is looking towards the future, which means that we are not there yet but it is tantalisingly close. These are dark times friends. Stay safe and look after each other (if you can).
6-9 April
Mercury stationing direct conjunct North Node in Pisces, at 26º
At the same fucking time, we have Mercury stationing to go direct, conjunct the North Node in Pisces. Like, what is the multiverse trying to do to us? Things are going to be worked out that have either been buried for a very long time or that people are fighting very hard to keep hidden. The last degrees of Pisces represent the deepest parts of the ocean and the deepest parts of our psyches. This is dark scary stuff (not gonna lie). Mercury is in detriment in Pisces. I have both my natal and progressed Mercury in Pisces, and it is a very difficult placement. People with Mercury in Pisces in their natal chart will always struggle with finding their voice or having a voice. The only way through this (if you have this), is to write or sing. You will also find that you have well-developed psychic abilities that you will have to learn to harness (because they will be very powerful). During this transit, which is truly loving because Venus is conjunct by 1 degree, I suggest going inwards. Try to avoid your external reality, particularly if it is rough. Instead, the answers will come from looking inside yourself and finding love. If you have nobody to share this transit with, like many people, the lesson is to love yourself. If you make the connection at this time, you will find a lot of healing energy available. Mercury turns direct on the 7th of April. When Mercury stations (either forwards or backwards), the energies can get quite mixed up and it is normal for communication breakdowns or misunderstandings. This really is a transit to avoid conflict and to look inside for the answers. However, expect some well-buried or long-hidden secrets to come during this 4 day transit. At a Taurus degree, the objective of this transit is to find, create or maintain stability.
8-10 April
Mars in Cancer trine North Node in Pisces, 26º
At the very end of this difficult 8-day transit (above), Mars jumps forward to 26º of Cancer (a stubborn Taurus degree). This is in perfect harmony with the North Node in Pisces. To me, this represents peace, and a very stubborn last push or last-ditch effort to attain some sort of peace agreement or declaration (let’s hope so).
10-12 April
Mercury conjunct True Node in Pisces, at 27º
This transit is an extension of the transits in Pisces above, but instead, this time the True Node is activated, instead of the North Node. The difference between the North Node and the True Node is that the True Node is an exact mathematical point, while the North Node (or mean node) is based on a set of averages. The True Node is more of an accurate representation while the North (or mean) Node is a very spiritual point in the sky that represents more of an umbrella overview. Mercury conjunct the True Node is a vision of the future — it should be a very clear vision. This is a very good time to really dive deep into our psyches to learn about and to visualise the life that we want for ourselves going forward.
11-12 April
Mercury conjunct the True Node in Pisces, trine Mars in Cancer, at 27º
This transit adds a layer of complexity to the transit above. Mars in Cancer is working towards a more harmonious and loving future. Perhaps, we now know what we want and we are now making plans towards creating that reality.
12 April
Sun conjunct Chiron in Aries, at 22º
Ouch!! Chiron transits are always painful and the Sun here, is highlighting our most painful inner wounds. The Sun could also be highlighting external, physical wounds (ouch!). At the ‘kill or be killed’ degree (Nikolai Stojanovic) of Aries (double ouch!!). You might feel like killing someone today (not gonna lie). If you have 22º in either your natal or progressed charts (like me), you should be very careful of this transit. An explosive, painful, emotional rage could arise today, that is likely to be connect to an insult or injury to your career or to your mana (your pride). Today is just one of those painful, difficult days where it might be better to stay in bed.
13 April
Venus goes direct in Pisces, at 24º
Venus began retrograding in Aries and then retrograded back into Pisces, where she is exalted. During the few days on either side of this time transit, a very clear understanding of who you love and who you truly want to be with should become clear.
youtube
The next full moon is in Libra, on the 13th of April.
#NOTONEMORECHILD
The Darkest Night
The tortured shadow of my soul hangs like a ghost in the air.
An unwanted child, rejected in favour of pretence and denial. She reflects self-loathing through seething eyes.
Her face, frozen in terror.
Her voice, silent.
Her presence gnaws at me.
I hurl grief and anger at her, and hide behind a false smile,
as invisible tears weave their way to the floor.
I drown her every day in pool of grief and festering rage,
but she never leaves or dies.
The inner child that I rejected so long ago follows me into the darkest night.
When all hope is gone, I turn to face her as she is all that is left of me.
Expecting death, I find an orphaned child reaching out to me.
I embrace her and find love.
Hope returns and I follow her through the pale light of dawn.

Full Moon, 14 March 2025
Virgo, the goddess of the harvest
Welcome to The Apocalypse. I am your host and this is the Marama (Moon) Report for the full moon in Virgo on the 14th of March 2025. Full moons represent endings, culminations and things coming to fruition. Full moon energy lasts for approximately two weeks (until the following new moon). Full moons are the best time to cleanse tarot cards and crystals in the moonlight, to empower them (I leave mine out overnight on a windowsill).
This is another very difficult full moon but instead of powerful Pisces energy, we have weak Virgo energy. The Moon (and the Earth/Papatuanuku) is at an Aquarius degree in Virgo, conjunct the South Node (OMG!). The South Node is a very difficult and draining part of our charts. When the South Node is activated, things from the past tend to come up. It represents where we come from and what we already know. It tends to create work for us and difficult terrains for us to navigate, and it tends to make life boring (snore). If your past life karma is difficult, this stuff will come up to be resolved at this time, and it might make life difficult and draining (just saying). We might all feel exhausted and weak for the next couple of weeks. People with heavy South Node placements in their charts, often find that the past keeps coming up and dragging them down (like myself). I have both Saturn retrograde and my Moon conjunct my natal South Node and I often struggle to move forward in life. I often feel as if my life is just standing still and that I have to fight hard just to get off my knees (truth).
A full moon in Virgo can be a bit cold and uncaring anyway but when it is conjunct the South Node, a Virgo full moon is just hard work and draining. This could be a continuation of the Virgo work that we started during the last new moon in Pisces. Virgo is the harvest goddess who just gets on with her work, and the South Node is a very karmic point in our charts. Because the South Node represents what we are leaving behind, it often leaves us feeling tired and dissatisfied (as in “I can’t get no satisfaction”). The South Node represents the past and life-lessons that we have already learned. Because it represents what we already know, we have nothing left to learn regarding our South Node. However, it tends to keep dragging us backwards anyway. The key to our South Node lessons is to use them to navigate our life-path towards our North Node (or our destiny or dharma).
South Node/Ketu (in Ayurvedic astrology)
Virgo is ruled by Mercury which is in Aries at a Sagittarius degree, conjunct Venus and Chiron. This is not good. Both Mercury and Venus are retrograde, in a wide conjunction to Chiron, in Aries, so there seems to be a deep wound to our souls (ouch). We are also looking backwards at something. Both Mercury and Chiron are at Sagittarius degrees, which only expands the difficult energies in play. Venus is at a Libra degree, so she is analysing relationships. However, Venus is in Aries and Venus does not like being in Aries. This is a very hurt and angry conjunction that could leave us feeling frustrated and disappointed. We might feel all fucked up in our heads at this time, and we might feel a bit destructive (Aries). The past (South Node) is coming up to be analysed and sorted (Virgo) so that it can be laid to rest (full moon). Whatever it is, pisses us off and drains our energy (South Node). Perhaps, we are feeling betrayed or fucked over. Perhaps, we are just disappointed with our current situation and need to work through some practical issues (Virgo). Alternatively, we may just be feeling tired (retrograde season) but we have to keep working anyway (Virgo). Perhaps, we are just tired of working or of conflict but we can’t quit or back down because of our circumstances. This full moon is a time to just keep putting one foot in front of the other and slogging it out (Virgo), even if we don’t feel like it.
Uranus in Taurus at a Pisces degree, is sextile the Sun in Pisces and trine the new moon (the Moon and Papa/Earth) in Virgo, by one degree. Uranus is also sextile the North Node and trine the South Node by 3 degrees. This means that Uranus is working towards our destiny (or dharma) while being in harmony with our lessons from the past (South Node). Uranus in Taurus wants to break down existing or established structures (Taurus) — Uranus wants to change things just for the sake of change. Perhaps, he’s bored (just saying). Because Uranus is in Taurus, our families may need some work. Taurus represents our family and our family tree. It also represents our wealth and the things in our life that we value, so we may need to work on those issues. If you don’t have whanau or a family that you can turn to, you may need to work on our spiritual or karmic issues (Pisces).
58. Ffaff the ffooter (reversed)
Unrealistic expectations.
Needing to ground yourself.
21. The faery who was kissed by the pixies (reversed)
Keep trying and you will get there.
This reading tells me that we are not grounded (Virgo). When Ffaff is reversed, we need to get our noses back to the grindstone and take care of all those earthly tasks that need regular attention, but that we often ignore in favour of more pressing matters. When the faery (who was kissed by the pixies) is reversed, she shows us that we aren’t quite there yet. There is some important work that needs to be done before we can relax or celebrate. She also shows us that our relationships may not be easy-going. Perhaps, we need to work on our relationships at this time. We may also need to get real, in terms of our expectations regarding relationships (Ffaff). Or, we may need to walk away from an unhealthy or unhappy relationship (the faery…).
40. Deliverance
This is a time when danger has passed after a great build-up of tension. Obstacles and difficulties are being resolved. This is a time to wash away impurities so that new growth can occur. It is also a good time to release judgements and to forgive. In human relationships, the rain of forgiveness can wash away the pain of conflict. This is a time to heal old wounds, gently. Once the path is clear, it is important to return to normal conditions as soon as possible. Don’t reawaken sleeping dogs of the past before the situation has had a chance to stabilise. Forgive, forget, move on.
Line one
The way has cleared and you can consolidate your position and then take action holding to what is right. This is a good time to simply be still and carefully plan your next move.
Line four
You can liberate yourself from entanglement with people of inferior motives by being faithful to your highest ideals and openly upholding them. It is better to have a weak person as an enemy than an ally, during times of crisis.
Line five
Negative forces will recede of themselves by your faithfulness to what is right. Letting go of negative forces requires inner resolve and strength of character. Tolerating unhealthy relationships for too long brings misfortune.
60. Proportion
Another name for this hexagram is Limitation. Extravagance and indulgence of all kinds must be curbed in inner realisation of cosmic law. Limits are necessary to channel energy, guide purpose and to lend direction to life. In human affairs, this may mean compromise. Be discriminating and only take on what you know you can handle. Make careful decisions as the opportunity cost of making decisions is the alternative that you must forgo. Only by consciously accepting useful limits can your energy be channelled to a good purpose and lead to lasting accomplishment. Aim for the middle way (the Tao) between discipline and freedom of spirit.
Transits
15 March
Mercury goes retrograde in Aries, at 9º
Old Mercury retrograde comes around again, just to bite us in the arse when we were feeling secure in our existence again (what a motherfucker! — thanks Mercury). Mercury is going backwards to redo or fix something that wasn’t done properly, or isn’t working. This time it’s in Aries — this is not good. Aries represents men. For that reason, Aries also represents war, conflict and anger. At a Sagittarius degree, this is only going to expand those difficult energies. Electronic equipment tends to have problems during Mercury retrograde. People also tend to have car problems or delays with travel plans. In Aries, this will lead to frustration and anger and just “grrrr”. We may need to burn off or process some of that anger that we might have sitting in our bellies. When Mercury goes direct on the 7th of April (in Pisces), things will become much clearer (Mercury retrogrades tend to create confusion and angst). My advice during Mercury retrogrades is that it is not a time for new beginnings and anything that you start during a Mercury retrograde will tend to be a false start, or problems will arise that will require work to rectify in future. Misunderstandings are the cornerstone of Mercury retrogrades. Typical Mercury retrograde situations include buying something that you have to return or replace because it is faulty, or a parcel that gets lost in the mail only to turn up weeks later. It is better during Mercury retrogrades to look at the past to see what needs to be worked on. What makes you angry (Aries) about the past? — that is a good place to start with this Mercury retrograde.
Sun in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus, at 24º
The Sun in Pisces is highlighting something that is hidden. Uranus in Taurus is challenging and changing the established order. A Pisces degree represents an ending. I see this transit as a changing of the guards. There has been an information war going on for a very long time, and this is being played out on the global stage in a very big way. Those who have been controlling the narrative for a very long time, are very scared to relinquish their strangle-hold on power and information. It’s too late. The cat is out of the bag and it’s just a matter of time now.
youtube
18 March
Sun conjunct North Node in Pisces, at 27º
The Sun here, is highlighting our spirituality. At a Gemini degree, today would be a good day to have a conversation with our spirit guides (our tipuna). The understandings that we gain today will be important. Today is also a good day to spend meditating or resting.
18-27 March
Neptune in Pisces inconjunct Lilith in Libra, at 29º
This is the ending of a problematic relationship, or the ending of a third-party dynamic in a relationship. Something needs to change. At the anaretic degree of Pisces, anything that ends during this transit will be a final ending (use this time wisely!).
21 March
Sun in Aries
This is Aries season, and all that Pisces energy will now fade into the distance. The Sun in Aries is like the birth of spring because it brings with it powerful new energies that make us feel energised. However, Aries season will also bring with it a whole new set of problems, because Aries represents violence and conflict, and because Chiron (our painful wounds) is still in Aries (ouch!). However, all that powerful Pisces energy (during Pisces season) that made us feel like we were drowning in confusion (Pisces), will dissipate.
21-22 March
Venus retrograde in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius, at 3º
Venus is thinking about something from the past that made her angry and Pluto wants to break free from something. A sextile is an active aspect. Because this transit is at a Gemini degree, talking about it may help but I don’t see a happy ending coming from anything that started under this transit.
23 March
Sun in Pisces semi-sextile Venus retrograde in Aries, at 2º
This is a very stubborn transit (Taurus degree). The Sun is highlighting hidden information, while Venus is hurt and angry. This is not an easy transit. Be careful of old wounds being triggered and don’t expect a resolution to come from any conflict today.
24 March
Sun in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius, at 3º
This is during the beginning of Aries season, and this is an explosive transit with lots of fresh energy. At a Gemini degree, we might simply feel like expressing our deepest hearts desires after a very difficult Pisces season.
24 -26 March
Mars in Cancer square Chiron in Aries, at 21º
This is a very difficult transit. It is extremely emotional (Cancer) and painful (Chiron) in nature. At an expansive Sagittarius degree, this could be a very difficult transit indeed. There is a lot of tension in this transit. There could be two hurt or damaged people in conflict with each other. Any conflict during this time, is likely to lead to hurt and angry words or violence. We should be very careful of escalating a situation because things could get out of control very easily. If we are feeling like we are losing control at this time, I suggest a sauna or sweat lodge (Mars in Cancer) to heal those aches and pains (Chiron in Aries).
27 - 30 March
Mars in Cancer square Chiron in Aries, at 22º
This is the same transit as above, but at a different degree. At a Capricorn degree, I see a tight little knot of seething rage from holding in pain. This is just not going to be a fun time for some people, particularly if you have 21º or 22º in your natal or progressed charts. Again, I recommend a sauna or sweat lodge to soothe all those sore and aching muscles (from carrying stress).
28 March
Venus retrogrades back into Pisces
When a planet retrogrades back into another sign, it usually means that we need to go even further backwards into the past to rectify something. Venus is retrograding from Aries into Pisces. Venus in Aries is angry about something and Venus in Pisces speaks of our subconscious mind. This means that we may not even be conscious of what needs fixing, and are probably dealing with past life karma or very early childhood trauma — God knows that there are many of us dealing with that (you are not alone!). Venus represents love, and when she is in Pisces she represents true love. Venus is retrograding back into Pisces to find true love. Venus in Pisces represents finding that one true soulmate, or learning to love ourselves, or finding God (however, you resonate with that concept). Venus will turn direct in Pisces on the 13th of April, and then re-enter Aries on the 1st of May. It is important to be aware that Mercury is also retrograding back into Pisces from Aries, around the same time. This is important because it means that an important conversation needs to happen. Mercury will re-enter Pisces on the 31st of April, and turn direct on the 7th of April, while closely conjunct Venus which will be stationing to turn direct at the same time. This is a very powerful time. Between the 7th and 13th of April, expect some massive shifts to be made regarding our perceptions, our love lives and our subconscious drives.
Black Moon Lilith enters Scorpio
This is dangerous (not gonna lie). Lilith has been in Libra since July 2024, where she has been relatively peaceful (Libra) but she has been causing us some strife in relationships. If there is an ‘other woman’ in your life, and she has been relatively peaceful until now but is still causing problems in the background — expect her to really start causing problems now. When Lilith enters Scorpio, she is a very scary bitch (she could even have homicidal intent). This is one dark, scary bitch who wants to inflict as much pain as possible on her victims. If your relationships are vulnerable to attacks from the ‘other woman’, you might have some really scary issues to deal with. Lilith in Scorpio is telling us to stand up for ourselves and to defend our rights, particularly if we are feeling oppressed or persecuted. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned (although men can also be pretty scary when they are rejected), and that saying represents Lilith in Scorpio perfectly. If we are feeling “scorned”, we may need to be the bigger woman and walk away because being a pain the arse just isn’t going to work this time (particularly with Venus and Mercury going retrograde in Pisces).
Lilith in Scorpio is also going to bring up deep sexual issues. Now is a time to get deep and to learn about what is subconsciously driving us when it comes to sex. It is highly likely that we will remember experiences that shaped our development in ways that helped us through difficult situations when we were young, but are not serving us now. If we can heal our deep sexual wounds during this time, we will benefit from these very difficult energies instead of becoming a victim to them. Lilith is an archetype within our collective consciousness that desperately needs healing. She represents the sexual persecution of women. Original sin is not Eve eating the apple of knowledge. Original sin is the persecution of Adam’s first wife in the garden of Eden. She was removed from the bible to cover-up what men did to her (she was raped, tortured, murdered and replaced by a rib bone, simply for asking for equality — truth). Lilith will remain in Scorpio until the 21st of December 2025, so this is going to be a long and difficult transit, particularly for women. Women should try to create solidarity during this transit, instead of ripping each other to bits over men (as we sometimes tend to do). Women sometimes chase men like they are the only crumbs left on the plate, and we need to heal this with each other (because they are not worth fighting over).
28 March - 5 April
Saturn in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus, at 24º
This transit represents the dissolving of the established order. It represents an ending. Because it lasts for a week and it involves two slow-moving outer planets, this transit will take a while to take full effect and it will have long-lasting effects. We probably won’t even notice this transit until a few months down the road, when we will look back and notice the external changes that have been made while we were focusing on other things.
The next new moon is in Aries, on the 29th of March.

New Moon, 28 February 2025
Welcome to The Apocalypse. I am your host, and this is the Marama (Moon) Report for the new moon in Pisces, on the 28th of February 2025. New moons represent new beginnings and new moon energy lasts for approximately two weeks (until the following full moon). New moons are the best time to do affirmations and to set intentions for the future.
This is a new moon in Pisces, at a Sagittarius degree. I’m not going to lie to you. This is probably going to be one of the most powerful and difficult new moons that we have ever lived through. Pisces can be a bitch (just saying). Pisces represents our subconscious minds, the paranormal, spirituality and psychic communication. Pisces is where God (however you resonate with that concept) resides. Pisces also represents depression, illness, incarceration, addiction and ‘self-undoing’. This new moon (the Sun and the Moon) are joined in Pisces by Saturn, Mercury, Neptune and the North Node, so this is an extremely activated and potent Pisces new moon, indeed. This new moon represents the beginning of something big!
This new moon is special because it marks the first day of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. From the 28th of February to the 29th of March 2025, Muslims across the world will fast all day (from sunrise to sunset), and pray and reflect, to commemorate their prophet Mohamed receiving his first revelation from Allah. For the Islamic faith, this is very a special time to remember lost loved ones. This is a very important and difficult time for Muslims, particularly in light of atrocities committed in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon over the past year. This holiest (Pisces) of all new moons just happens to usher in in a very spiritual time; therefore, this is a very special time, indeed.
The very difficult 28th degree of Pisces is heavily activated during this new moon. Both Neptune and the North Node are exactly conjunct this degree. Therefore, be very careful of the paranormal and mischievous spirits (or jinn), of both the human and supernatural kind. Neptune is extremely powerful in Pisces, and the North Node empowers whatever it touches. This means that malignant forces will be very powerful at this time. I hate this degree (not gonna lie). This new moon marks a new beginning for these malignant forces. Because Mercury is conjunct Saturn (and conjunct 28º of Pisces by 4 degrees), these forces will likely cease communicating openly, but continue working very hard behind the scenes (Pisces). A little trick that I have learned for dealing with 28º of Pisces transits — if you watch movies (for example) about the paranormal, you will transfer all that paranormal energy away from the ether and into the movie. That is the key to astrology — to transfer or transmute a negative interpretation into another more positive interpretation.
This new moon is at a powerful and expansive Sagittarius degree. Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius, is the ancient ruler of Pisces (before telescopes were invented), therefore, Jupiter is very powerful in Pisces. This new moon is so Piscean that there is almost nothing more to say about it. The only way to survive Pisces or Neptunian transits is to find your zen (Pisces and Neptune). However, you may also need to balance all that Pisces energy by channelling your inner Virgo (the opposite sign to Pisces). The Earth and South Node are both in Virgo at the moment, so our outer reality may require us to focus on earthly, practical matters. Because of this, we may feel stuck in our survival issues. We may be stuck in our root chakra and be unable to rise above that to consider more ethereal Piscean matters.

The economy in New Zealand is shattered because of malignant and corrupt government policy. So many people are suffering. So many people are homeless. So many people are facing homelessness. So many children in this country are living below the poverty line. If you are struggling financially at this time. you are not alone. Finding your zen (Pisces) through menial tasks (Virgo and the South Node) will ground and calm you.
Getting organised, writing lists, cleaning and tidying are all very Virgo and South Node things to do. Not only will it help to alleviate worries but it will also help to remedy practical problems. Others of us may simply need to rest (Pisces) at this time. Meditation and prayer will have very powerful effects on us during this powerful Pisces season. With all this Pisces energy available, now is the time for manifestation. Our minds are extremely powerful at this time, so now is the time to create the future using our minds. Vision boards are great tools for manifestation work because they either show you what your soul is yearning for, or they force you to work out what you actually want.
Vision board
The hardest part of manifesting our dreams is figuring out what they are. If you are unclear about what you are manifesting in your life, you will manifest confusion. If you are having trouble finding your dharma (your life-path), take a look at your North Node in your natal chart (there is a lot of information available online). Alternatively, create a vision board out of random images that speak to your soul. This will tell you things about yourself that you weren’t previously aware of, and help you to find the right direction to take in life.
Vision board
There is also a relatively powerful T-Square causing quite a lot of tension, with Jupiter and Cupid in Gemini, squaring the new moon (by 3 degrees) and Saturn (exactly). This shows that there could be a lot of words that say what others want to hear (Cupid), that is not necessarily the truth. There could be attempts to appease in order to cover up information. If so, this would cause a lot of tension. As always, the way through a T-Square is via the missing corner which is in Sagittarius. Sagittarius represents knowledge and the truth. Sagittarius wants to expand our minds. Sagittarius also expands information to get to the truth of the matter. Sagittarius isn’t so bothered about the details but instead, focuses on over-arching themes in light of its broader context, because details can sometimes be used to obscure the bigger picture.
Mars is trine Saturn by 3 degrees and Chiron is semi-sextile Saturn exactly. This shows us that painful memories could easily lead us to feeling depressed or deeply emotionally wounded. With Chiron semi-sextiling Saturn at a Scorpio degree, this transit could bring up some deep, dark, ugly shit that we would rather avoid (just saying). This is going to be a tricky transit for some people to navigate, particularly if it is hitting your chart in a big way (like me). This is something to keep in mind during this time — all things shall pass in time (just breathe…). Just like taking an acid trip, if you fight the current, you will have a hard time but if you just breathe and let go, it might take you to far out places that you never could have imagined in your wildest dreams. Uranus is sextiling Mercury by one degree. This could lead to some pretty radical and determined efforts to expose the truth. Mercury is at a Pisces degree and Uranus is at an Aquarius degree. This shows to me that one side of the argument just wants the problem to dissolve away, while the other side is relentless about exposing what the other side wishes to remain hidden. This new moon is all about secrets (Pisces).
Tarot
Mamaku (three fern), the Unfolding
Wisdom of the Four Winds, Barry Brailsford
Mamaku comes to you to speak of light and balance, of the potential held within and its place in the dream. Deep down, we know the truth of our journey. Yet, until the pain of many yesterdays, and the hurts of today, are healed by forgiveness, anger sometimes shrouds the way ahead and cloaks all that we might be. Standing strongly in the wonder of the east wind to greet the sunrise, you have the opportunity to make a new beginning. You can now face the past, call forth your pain and set it free, and move on to find joy in your journey. As you go into this healing, look to the place of the child. That direction offers you the magic of the heart, the willingness to touch and be touched. What we cannot feel, we cannot heal. Opening to that path is of our learning. Mamaku reminds us that we are creatures of beauty walking in a beautiful world. All is potential, joy awaiting the call of the light. All is elegance set within the design. All is opportunity within the balance. Hope is the message of Mamaku, the hope enshrined in the koru, the unfolding frond. We all have limitless promise for we are each part of a greater perfection. It is the time of the unfolding, the time to bring your truth into the light.
20. Contemplation
This is a time for composure and contemplation. Sincere inward attention brings deeper and deeper consciousness through purification. Disengage from personal attachments and use this time to reflect on your life and those around you. Become one with cosmic law.
Line 2
Avoid small-mindedness. Have the courage to view things from a greater perspective and don’t be timid. What is your vision?
Line 4
By contemplating many different perspectives, you can transcend your own personal viewpoint and influence others.
6. Conflict
Direct opposition cannot be circumvented and it is wise to consider the best use of your energy. Conflicts in which one party is insincere, inevitably lead to subterfuge and distortion. Try to be impartial and objective, in order to get to the heart of the problem and keep your ability to compromise open. Contemplate the source of the issue rather than indulge in competition. In such situations, it is important to keep a clear head and to look out for your own interests, even while seeking compromise. New ventures or initiatives should be avoided in times of conflict so consider any new moves or decisions very carefully. Clarify roles and responsibilities to reduce conflict in future.
Transits
28 February - 3 March
Saturn in Pisces semi-sextile Chiron in Aries, at 20º
This is a very difficult transit that we have been enduring since the 16th of February. Chiron represents our internal pain and the wounds to our soul that we carry around with us. Saturn in Pisces wants to restrict access to hidden information. At a Scorpio degree, this transit is likely to bring up our deep, dark, painful stuff. This time is an opportunity to learn where our weaknesses lie. This is also a time to be humble and authentic with ourselves, and if the pain becomes overwhelming, just breathe, cry and let a close friend or God hold your hand through it (however you resonate with that concept).
Neptune conjunct the North Node in Pisces, at 28º
This is a very powerful and difficult conjunction in Pisces that speaks of mischievous spirits, whether human or ethereal. We have been dealing with this transit since the 2nd of February (and I will be very glad to see the end of it). Be very careful of paranormal entities over this time period, because they will be very powerful. They may even try to lure you by pretending to be benevolent. Secrets and lies will have an extremely powerful effect, during this time. Neptune is the ruler of Pisces and it is conjunct the North Node, which empowers whatever it touches. Neptune represents confusion (in a nutshell), and it would be very easy to lose our equilibrium and our sense of composure at this time. I take this degree very seriously because it always causes me trouble. If you have anything at 28º in your natal or progressed charts, you should also take this transit very seriously. While Neptune will move on to 29º Pisces (the anaretic degree no less), the energy of this conjunction will still be effective for quite some time, and the North Node will remain at 28º until the 8th of March. After this, things will settle down, however, Neptune will remain at the anaretic degree of Pisces until the 30th of March (which presents its own difficulties — see 29º Pisces below). Because this is such an extended transit, the effects of it will take some time to pass.
1 March
Sun in Pisces semi-sextile Venus in Aries, at 10º
I believe that this transit is about authority because it is at a Capricorn degree. The Sun in Pisces is lighting up the darkness. Venus in Aries is irritated and angry. Perhaps some information comes to light today that irks us. It could be about the government or authorities in general, or it could be about our career or status. Because Venus is stationing to go retrograde (backwards in the sky from our perspective), any issues that arise today will likely take some time to work out.
2 March
Venus goes retrograde in Aries, at 10º
The day after the transit above, Venus goes retrograde which means that something from the past needs to be re-worked (retrogrades in general). Venus retrogrades are very important times for working out issues regarding love (Venus) or money (Venus). Because it is in Aries, there could be quite a bit of anger involved. At a Capricorn degree, this is likely to be about our careers and/or our status in the world. A Capricorn degree also highlights places where love has been restricted. During this retrograde period, any relationships that have been restricted from forming may come back up to be re-negotiated. Relationships from the past that failed because of manipulation or interference may come back with a fierce determination to get rid of that manipulation and/or interference. There may even have been some lies told that need to be addressed, and some people (with no morals) may need to be held accountable — why do so many people want to cause trouble in other people’s relationships (it does my head in)? Venus retrogrades are often a time when relationships go through problems, however, the problems tend to be worked out when Venus goes direct. Relationships tend to dissolve altogether or they become unbreakable under this transit. With relationships that fall apart during Venus retrogrades, we often find that we dodged a bullet (just saying). Venus retrograde is also a very magical time that is great for sex magick or witchcraft in general (hopefully of the benevolent variety).
In my opinion, this transit also indicates job losses that can cause people significant money worries. If this could be you, it might be a good time to either cut back and prepare for difficult times ahead or to seek alternative employment. Frugality is the key to getting through money worries during a Venus transit. We often experience significant emotional turmoil or even heartbreak during this transit, however, Venus is trying to help us get on the right track (whether we like it or not). Things will become much clearer when Venus goes direct on the 13th of April. My advice for Venus retrogrades is to allow them to guide you through the transformation that they are offering.
Venus represents women in general, so women are generally affected the most during Venus retrogrades. Venus is a very mysterious feminine planet that creates magical patterns in the sky as she travels around the solar system. Here is some information regarding Venus’ magical path through the heavens (for all us girls who are struggling out there, to see how special you are ❤️).

4 -30 March
Neptune at the anaretic degree of Pisces (29º)
I don’t normally count anaretic degrees as transits but this is a significant one. Because 29º of Pisces is the final degree of the 360º zodiac, it represents deaths and endings of all kinds. In the zodiac, this is just part of the natural cycle. Death (Pisces) ushers in regrowth and regeneration (Aries). This transit is exceptionally powerful because Neptune is domicile in Pisces, which means that it is at home (where Neptune is extremely powerful). Neptune represents the power of the deep oceans and tsunamis (just saying). Neptune can be quite scary. 29º Pisces represents the darkest part of the sky or the dark before the dawn, and it can get pretty dark before light is born (we need to remember that). There are very powerful unseen forces afoot during this very powerful Pisces season. It would be very easy to lose ourselves in the darkness during this transit. Instead, find your zen and flow like a fish through the currents and you will be fine.
8-9 March
Sun in Pisces trine Mars in Cancer, at 17º- 18º
This is a very emotional transit that luckily only lasts for two days. This is a very good time to have a cry and to let all that pain flow out of our bodies. These are two fiery celestial bodies in extremely watery signs. This signifies steam that needs releasing. Those hot tears of grief may need to flow again. At a Leo and then a Virgo degree, our egos might be hurt. We might feel butt-hurt. If we allow Virgo to show us what we need to work on, we will benefit from this transit. Otherwise, we might just end up beating ourselves up (and not learning anything). 18º is a notoriously difficult degree. It usually brings up issues that take a lot of hard work to resolve (how annoying!). Alternatively, this transit is likely to show us which emotional areas require some long-term effort.
12 March
Mercury conjunct Venus retrograde in Aries, at 8º
This looks like an angry argument of some kind to me. At a Scorpio degree, some pretty ugly stuff could come up, particularly regarding betrayal or deception. It looks to me like one of those arguments that needs to happen. Alternatively, someone could be getting news (Mercury) of an inheritance (Scorpio degree). Venus represents money and Venus retrograde represents money from the past, so money might come in from debts being repaid, or some debts may become due. In relationships, today is a very good day for couples who are struggling to talk about the really hard stuff. It is also a great day for making love as the passion (Aries) will run very deep (Scorpio). Mercury conjunct Venus also represents loving (Venus) hands (Mercury) so giving your partner a massage will do wonders for repairing any wounds that need healing.
13 March
Sun conjunct Saturn in Pisces, at 22º
Today, the Sun is highlighting stillness and calm. Today might be a good day for restricting ourselves to isolation (just for a day or two), to find stillness in our minds. That is a quintessentially positive interpretation of Saturn in Pisces. Alternatively, we might find ourselves stuck in our secrets. Perhaps, we have some worries that we need to weigh up in our own minds, at this time.
The next full moon is in Virgo, on the 14th of March.

Full Moon, 13 February 2025
Welcome to The Apocalypse. I am your host and this is the Marama (Moon) Report for the full moon in Leo on the 13th of February 2024. Full moons represent endings, culminations and things coming to fruition. Full moon energy lasts for approximately two weeks (until the following new moon). Full moons are the best time to cleanse tarot cards and crystals in the moonlight, to empower them (I leave mine out overnight on a windowsill).
This is a fiery full moon in Leo, at a watery Pisces degree. Pisces degrees usually denote endings. This is confirmed by the full moon itself, and because the North Node is at the anaretic degree of Pisces — therefore, empowerment will come from ending things that no longer serve us. Leo is all about how healthy our mana is (i.e. our self-respect and our self-worth), and how we value ourselves. Leo is ruled by the Sun, which represents our identity (i.e. our mana). However, the Sun is in Leo’s opposite sign of Aquarius (also at a Pisces degree), conjunct Mercury and Ceres. The Sun (which is all about the ‘self’) is debilitated in Aquarius (which is all about other people). The Sun struggles to fit in in Aquarius, where it tends to burn a little too brightly for other people’s comfort levels. This full moon might be about finding our community or where we comfortable expressing our uniqueness.
The Sun in Aquarius is about going our own way (“I did it my way”, to quote Frank Sinatra), so that we can find our unique niche in the world and our people (our turangawaewae). Sun in Aquarius people tend to be lone wolfs for that reason. Aquarius is not afraid to travel alone when necessary, and they often prefer it that way. Sun in Aquarius people tell the status quo where to go because they are the rebels of the zodiac. They carve out their own destiny regardless of other people’s opinions or ideas. They tend to be either oblivious or belligerent in the face of adversity, and they can be quite belligerent indeed (not naming anyone in particular). Aquarius follows the beat of his own drum, and the multiverse is telling us that this full moon is an opportunity to break free from the mainstream and the incessant indoctrination campaign that is driving our social conditioning.
With Mercury in Aquarius, conjunct the Sun at a Taurus degree, we might be thinking (Mercury) about our freedom (Aquarius) and how much that means to us. We may need to express ourselves (Mercury) and our need for freedom and individual rights (Aquarius) during this time, lest we lose them. With Lilith trine this full moon by one degree, a sense of persecution may be driving our struggle for freedom and human rights. A Taurus degree shows us that we may need to be quite stubborn and determined about defending our sovereignty and our bodily integrity, over this time period. This is confirmed by Ceres (the Earth Mother or Papatuanuku), who is activated by a fiery Aries degree.
With Pluto at 2º of Aquarius, immense power is available through radicalism (Aquarius). 2º is the most powerful degree of the zodiac (according to Nikolai Stojanovic’s degree astrology) — long-reigning monarchs (like the colonialist Queen Victoria) tend to have prominent 2º placements. The key to radicalism is to avoid throwing the baby out with the bathwater because revolutions tend to activate destructive forces that destroy critical infrastructure — this leads people back into the dark ages. Revolutions tend to come in three waves, and the tension of the third wave is usually powerful enough to shift the tide. However, every revolution (that I can think of) has led to a bloodbath and the incessant slaughter of innocent people by opportunists with personal agendas — the key to a successful revolution is to prevent this from happening. The complete destruction of social infrastructure inevitably creates a feudal class system (such as in war-torn places like Chechnya). A feudal class system = might is right, and vulnerable people tend to become serfs to warlords. While this may prevent the wolves from getting in the door (hopefully), it is not a healthy or stable society for people to thrive in, or to follow their soul’s innate calling. ‘Representative democracy’ rose out of the ashes of previous revolutions, however, democracy is nothing but a buzzword in many supposedly democratic societies. There is nothing wrong with the design and object of ‘representative democracies’ (in my opinion), however, many of them are democratic in name only — many “democratic” societies are merely colonialist institutions thinly disguised as representative governments.
The paradox of Aquarius is that it represents both independence and interdependence. The following full moon is a powerful time to find your people, whoever they may be and however far out (Aquarius) they may be. This full moon forms another powerful t-square, with Uranus in Taurus. Uranus in Taurus wants to dismantle established structures. This could get quite hectic because Uranus is at an Aquarius degree. Uranus basically wants anarchy, but he often wakes up with a hangover the next morning and regrets it. The problem with anarchy is that children don’t get fed, and the sick or broken tend to get trampled underfoot. The way through this difficult configuration is via Scorpio. Scorpio represents transformation and regeneration, but Scorpio usually requires a purge of some kind before regeneration is possible. Scorpio represents going into the dark places where we are generally too afraid to tread, and this is why I am so concerned about the potential for a complete breakdown at this time. The paradox of Scorpio is that you have to travel into the darkness (whatever that means relative to your personal circumstances), in order to find the light at the end of the tunnel. During this full moon, we are likely to find ourselves and our peeps in the darkness (however, that resonates with your situation).
The North Node is at the anaretic degree of Pisces, conjunct an extremely powerful Neptune at a very difficult degree, at the very end of Pisces. This conjunction is semi-sextile the full moon. This potentially represents a very difficult ending. With Neptune trine Juno in Scorpio (exactly), any endings that happen at this time will have very long-lasting effects and/or consequences. With the South Node in Virgo, it might be difficult to find clarity through our usual logical and rational responses. Instead, our intuition and our instincts (North Node in Pisces) will speak volumes. Music (Neptune) will also have a powerful effect on us, at this time. If we feel that we are getting lost in the maelstrom, music will help us come back to our centre. It will also inspire and motivate us.
Pluto is at a very powerful degree (2º) in Aquarius, sextile Venus in Aries (by 3 degrees). This represents a loving push towards freedom and total transformation. With Saturn in Pisces trine Mars retrograde in Cancer, people who are struggling to maintain secrecy, are likely to be extremely subversive during this time and will prefer to hide in the shadows. Anything could happen during this time period (Aquarius). I expect it to be tense and transformational. When the only way through is Scorpio, this could be a very difficult and painful time. My advice is to go with the flow of the energies available and to make adjustments to your life as problems come up. Don’t fight the transformation but don’t allow yourself to get carried away on a tide of anarchy, even though the rage inside your soul is a valid response to the tyranny that we are facing. Solidarity (Aquarius) will provide us with a great sense of pride and joy (Leo), over this time.
Transits
15 February
Mercury enters Pisces
Mercury is debilitated in Pisces, where it struggles to communicate openly and directly. Instead, Mercury prefers written or telepathic communication — Mercury is very psychic in Pisces. When Mercury enters Pisces, we tend to withdraw inside ourselves and think more, or communicate with our loved ones who have passed away. Mercury in Pisces can be very difficult (I know because both my natal and progressed Mercury is in Pisces). While it opens our minds to the subconscious and the spiritual dimension, a negative interpretation includes depression and/or addiction. As always with astrology, it is important to embody a positive interpretation to avoid the negative. Mercury will be in Pisces until the 4th of March. Until then, it might be a good time to focus on spiritual matters, and to be careful of the paranormal (as paranormal entities will be very powerful while Mercury is in Pisces).
Saturn in Pisces semi-sextile Chiron in Aries, at 19º
This transit is about avoiding our internal wounds. This transit will only be exact for one day but the energy will build up beforehand and last a while longer. Perhaps, a particularly sore spot has been triggered that makes us aware of areas in our psyche that need attention, however, the time might not yet be right to address such issues. Pay attention to what triggers you today and take note of it, for future reference.
16 February
Mercury in Pisces semi-sextile Pluto in Aquarius, at 2º
Another semi-sextile aspect. A semi-sextile is where two bodies are at the same degree in neighbouring signs. I interpret semi-sextiles as two separate influences that are happening at the same time but they are not necessarily connected. Mercury in Pisces is deep and so is Pluto in Aquarius. Perhaps, we are becoming aware of deeper issues that we were not previously aware of. At a Taurus degree, these issues may be quite deep-seated or deeply rooted. Pay attention to what comes up today because this is the universe showing us what psychological and/or karmic issues might be coming up for us to deal with in the near future.
17 February
Sun in Aquarius semi-sextile Neptune in Pisces, at 28º
Another semi-sextile aspect — this tells me that this time might be quite busy or complex with multiple events or strands of understanding compounding each other. 28º Pisces is a notoriously difficult degree (I know because it hits both my natal and progressed charts exactly). It speaks of difficulties, enemies and treachery. The Sun in Aquarius wants to highlight things that we are not aware of. Again, this might be another transit that is showing us something that we need to be aware of, that we may need to deal with in future. Again, pay attention of what comes up today and take a note of it for future reference.
19 February
Sun moves into Pisces
Here, the Sun joins Mercury in Pisces, along with Saturn and Neptune — this is a very heavy configuration in Pisces. We already have Saturn working through our karma, and Neptune dragging up very deep and spiritual (and karmic) issues. The Sun highlights whatever it touches and while it is in Pisces, it will pass over Saturn and Neptune, highlighting our karma and our subconscious minds. I’m not going to lie, this could be a very difficult time. Now, more than ever, we should be working towards improving our karma and turning to God (however, you resonate with that concept). This might also be a lonely time. This could be a very lonely, isolating and depressing time for some. There is a lot of suffering in this configuration. Pisces also represents charity, so now might be a good time to help others who might be suffering under this heavy Piscean energy. The Sun will move into Aries on the 21st of March and Aries season will bring a renewal (because it represents springtime and new growth). Until then, we may need to contend with very difficult energy.
Mercury in Pisces semi-sextile Venus in Aries, at 8º
Another semi-sextile aspect. At a Scorpio degree, some difficult issues could arise. Venus can be quite angry in Aries and Mercury doesn’t want to talk in Pisces, so there is a disconnect going on here. Alternatively, this is a good time to think and dream of what you would love (Venus) to do (Aries). This could be a very beautiful and psychic time to bond through loving sex (just saying).
20 February
Mercury in Pisces square Jupiter in Gemini, at 11º
This aspect is great for thinking or analysing. At an Aquarius degree, anything that is unusual, strange or mysterious will be interesting. However, Mercury might want to be left alone while Jupiter wants to talk, so there could be another disconnect here. At an Aquarius degree, there might even be some separation. Alternatively, there might be some worries or you might just feel like breaking free for a day. If you are in two minds about talking about something today, it might be better to keep things to yourself because Aquarius prefers to avoid conflict.
21 February
Sun in Pisces semi-sextile Pluto in Aquarius, at 2º
And another semi-sextile aspect. The Sun highlights anything that is hidden. At the same time, there might be a deep sense of despair (Pluto). At a Taurus degree, the objective is stability. Today might also bring us some strange coincidences.
24 February
Mars goes direct in Cancer, at 17º
Firstly, fiery, impulsive Mars hates being in watery Cancer where he feels frustrated, weak and emotional. Mars has been in Cancer for a while now, making us feel extra sensitive and powerless, particularly while he has been retrograde — this has not been an easy time for us (tell me about it). Now that Mars is going direct again, he can stop looking to the past and start moving forward. Because Mars is going direct at a Leo degree, this time might be about learning what takes our power away and leaves us feeling drained. Sometimes, we need to learn what makes us unhappy to help us figure out what we don’t want in our lives. When Mars enters Leo on the 19th of April, everyone will feel a lot more confident, inspired and at ease.
Mercury in Pisces trine Mars in Cancer (stationing direct), at 17º
Mars is stationing direct, which means that it is standing still in the sky as it changes direction (from our perspective). Stationing planets are extremely powerful (their energy is amplified because they are not moving). This is quite a frustrating aspect. With Mars trining Mercury in Pisces, frustration could easily leave us feeling depressed. At a Leo degree, our egos might be extremely fragile today. This transit will only last for one day but because we are being battered by multiple difficult transits over an extended period of time, we might feel exhausted by this stage. Pisces season is always difficult unless we flow with the energies available and use this time wisely. It is a time of deep introspection and spiritual or karmic endeavours. Resting is advised. Pisces season will pass as soon as the Sun moves into Aries on the 21st of March. Aries season will be much more productive.
24 February - 3 March
Saturn in Pisces semi-sextile Chiron in Aries, at 20º
And another semi-sextile aspect — this time with Saturn and Chiron (two notoriously difficult celestial bodies). Pisces and Aries are also notoriously difficult signs. At another Scorpio degree (a difficult degree), this period could be a very difficult time for some people, indeed. Chiron in Aries is painful. It generally represents our personal pain and the wounds to our ego that we carry around. Saturn in Pisces is also a very difficult placement. It can be too cold, hard and/or indifferent towards our pain. There is another disconnect going on here and this transit could stir up some very difficult emotions. Because this transit lasts for four days, we might need to be very gentle on ourselves and others for a while.
25 February
Mercury in Pisces conjunct Saturn in Pisces, semi-sextile Chiron in Aries, at 20º
This is the same transit as the one directly above. However, on this day, Mercury joins Saturn at this very difficult degree. Therefore, there is likely to be some difficult communication today, or alternatively a communication breakdown. Don’t expect understanding or compassion to be a response during a conflict because there is a serious disconnect going on here. This is a very triggering aspect (not gonna lie). Again, this is a time to very gentle on ourselves and the people we care about.
27 February
Mercury in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus, at 23º
This transit is much healthier than many of the previous transits of this full moon. A sextile is similar to a harmonious trine aspect, but more active. This aspect speaks of rebellion (another Aquarius degree). Mercury in Pisces wants to bring up hidden information or secrets. Because Mercury is sextile Uranus in Taurus, Mercury wants to break down or change what is already established or stable (Uranus in Taurus essentially wants to bring down the establishment). At an Aquarius degree, radicalism is highlighted. This has been a very difficult time for many people, and people might just be tired of the bullshit. However, Pisces season is not the best time for taking bold action. The best approach to this transit might be to korero about (discuss) what is making us unhappy and ways of improving the situation.
Sabian Symbol
A Large Camel Crossing a Vast and Forbidding Desert
This is the symbol for the full moon itself. This symbol implies the need to push ahead in difficult times, going alone and coping even in the most difficult circumstances. It also shows being self-sufficient, or someone with a long journey to complete. You may find that your situation has been like an arduous journey, but there could still be further to go. Be confident that you have the reserves to survive and the endurance to succeed. Although you may like the company and assistance of others, in the end you can really only rely on yourself. Self-sufficiency and mental self-control are necessary, as is a commitment to get to the other side of your issue.

Don’t be afraid to stand on your own two feet or to go your own way.
This is quite an interesting reading because the three main cards are all Pentacles, they are all upright and they tend to go in sequence, so they appear to be telling a story. Pentacles represent cold, hard reality and survival issues. They are about needing to get your work done or to pay your bills. The story suggests that firstly, there is a weighing up or some decision-making going on or that needs to happen (2 of Pentacles). The 5 of Pentacles suggests that something is being rejected, and the 9 of Pentacles suggests that standing on one’s own two feet will be beneficial. The overall card suggests that this is a time of rejection rather than celebration. Another way to read these cards is that independence (9 of Pentacles) and juggling resources and obligations (2 of Pentacles) will get us through difficult times (5 of Pentacles) or disappointment (9 of Cups reversed).
I Ching
44. Encountering
Another name for this hexagram is Liaison. This is a time when you are tempted to go beyond the climax of a situation and seek to continue it. A coming together of disparate forces may not be what it seems. It is best to retreat or return to a disciplined routine. Instead of indulgences, it is time to purify and realign yourself with your highest destiny.
Line Four
Beware of your own ego. Don’t be an elitist or separate yourself from people that you consider beneath you.
57. Penetrating (outcome)
Another name for this hexagram is Gentle Penetration. This hexagram bodes well for new relationships or enterprises. Hidden qualities are now at their apogee. Gradual and subtle transition is needed now by penetrating the veil of the invisible. Do not make a show or try to force your way into anything. Your goals will be revealed through long-term gentle penetration in humble purposes. Push forward gently and determinedly but don’t stand up in a cyclone. A subtle penetrating effect is like a soft wind blowing through reeds that are bending gracefully, demonstrating flexibility and endurance. Particularly in relationships, a gentle beginning can lead to a long-lasting union.
The next new moon is in Pisces, on the 28th of February.
