STAR WANDERINGS

I need to write about things that speak to my heart. I can´t just produce stuff when the transit comes around. I don´t want to feel like “another one”, like I am „losing my soul“.  I didn´t feel like I have anything to say about New Moon in Leo but funnily enough, I got around to it somehow. My journeys are not very straightforward. Leo is my 12th house, it is the place where I often get lost and found. It is my hideaway when I feel insecure when my nervous system seems too fragile to function within the visible space. The Twelfth House is a sanctuary where I´m finding my comfort.  But sometimes even a loner gets lonely. The 12th place is where Saturn finds its joy after all. I often stay a lot longer in the shade than it is healthy but this place just feels so familiar despite its darkness. A couple of days ago, I was reading to my boys about children who get trapped in a heavy snowstorm. The reality of the situation feels very real and intense to them but at the same time, t...

  On weekdays, I get up at 5 am. I thrive on routine and love having quiet morning moments all for myself.  A few days ago I woke up and something was off. The darkness has started to creep in.  I thought to myself: „This can´t be, it´s mid July and the summer has just begun“. I am aware that since the summer Solstice, the light is being cut in the evenings but mornings are a different story. For a while now, I´ve been used to waking up to sunlight, feeling joyful,  eager to start my day. There was an aching realization that the change is underway, that the darkness is on the rise, that the summer is slipping through my fingers.  While studying astrology with Nightlight Astrology, we´ve been learning about the light and dark interplay within the zodiacal year and it felt a bit abstract for me at the time. Feeling this physically in my environment, in my body, made all the difference.  The ingress of the Sun into the sign of Cancer, the moment of Summer Sols...

  As a Jupiter in Virgo native, I am very familiar with the contradictory nature of Mercury and Jupiter that have perfected their square this morning (CET). I am very good at taking things apart, analyzing and assessing the individual parts but it is often challenging for me to put them back together, to create a coherent whole. But I am trying, little by little, in a true Virgo fashion. By nature, Mercury and Jupiter have a tense relationship with each other. If we have a look at the signs that Mercury (Virgo, Gemini) and Jupiter (Pisces, Sagittarius) rule in the astrological chart, we can see that they relate either via a square or an opposition, relationships that are of nature of malefics – Mars and Saturn. Square is formed between earthy Virgo and fiery Sagittarius and between airy Gemini and watery Pisces. Feminine signs of Virgo and Pisces and masculine signs of Gemini and Sagittarius are standing in opposition. The signs that Mercury and Jupiter rule are mutable, they are o...
