High Tide

-

 


Fate is heavily permeating our lives, the eclipse season is upon us. We are riding the merry go round, sometimes we get the most exquisite shiny white horse adorned with feathers and gold and the next minute we have to make do with some weird-looking character that no-one wants to ride.
 
Eclipses are now happening in the signs of Moon’s exaltation and fall - Taurus and Scorpio. Highs and lows, rise and fall. Moon is the environment within which our life is unfolding. Moon is the everchanging unpredictable lady fortune that grants and takes away. We feel the necessity of going down on the fortune wheel in order to be brought up again. 

Venus in Scorpio is facing off Uranus in Taurus today. 
They are opposing each other. The energy is tense. It feels like before the start of a fight or a game…they are confronting each other. They are brought face to face “to examine each other and to discover the truth” as the meaning of the word confrontation suggests.
This word has its etymological meaning in the idea of borders and bounds and in general in action of assigning limits to something. Saturn is here at play, the Lord presiding over this uncomfortable position where we have to face what’s in front of us. It's hard to stand still, there is pressure and confinement, there is nowhere to escape, a release point is needed.

Uranus is hanging out in Venus's house amped up with the presence of the North Node. This feels electric, the temptation to swing to the other side is great. There is an insatiable urge to fill the cups that have been emptied.   

Venus has been through quite a wild ride recently. One moment rises to her high point Libra cazimi moment and the next descends to the dark exile of Scorpio having to immediately go through a deep and painful transformation while trapped in the rough storms of Scorpio eclipse.

This encounter with Uranus is much welcomed. It's intense, exciting, fresh and life-giving. The medicine that is needed when cups are spilled on the ground and Saturn is around the corner to interfere.

Moon has been on a similar journey as Venus, going through a deep transition on its eclipse journey. At the beginning of the next week, it is going to enter Taurean lush fields and hit the high tide, conjoining the North Node and Uranus and opposing the Sun. The powerful moment of culmination, the lunar eclipse in Taurus.

Like these feminine, fortune-bound goddesses, we’ve been through it these past couple of weeks. Moon has been pulling on us. High and low tides have been washing our shores. We’ve experienced a great emptying out recently with the solar eclipse in Scorpio. We’ve been left to explore our bare shores to see what the tide left behind.

The water that flowed back to the ocean is coming back now to cover our shores, to bring new life. The cups that have been emptied will be filled again, with time. All we need to do is to keep the faith and keep walking.

Keep hope alive, keep dreaming.

Feeling is Believing - Saturn ♓ & Jupiter ♋ & Water Trines

-
Image
  Saturn and Neptune are back in Pisces, and Jupiter is in Cancer. These planets are engaged in a powerful, long-lasting trine, and together they provide an anchor to a powerful grand water trine in the sky, with faster moving planets coming through the sign of Scorpio.  The water element is feminine in nature. Feminine energy is about emotional sensitivity, boundlessness, flow, and receptivity.  Energetically, we might feel like circumstances are constantly shifting around us. Nothing is solid, things are dissolving and taking shape at the same time, like when we´re walking through a thick fog and we see things in our surroundings taking shape in front of us and dissapearing back into the invisible realm. Coming from October into November, the reality feels like an impressionistic painting, like a huge canvas filled with visible, broken brushstrokes of pure unmixed colors. The resulting image is more about capturing a fleeting sensory experience, the uniqueness of the cu...

Fighting for Life - Mars Opposite Pluto

-
Image
  On April 27, 2025, we are facing the third and final opposition of Mars and Pluto at 3° of Leo and Aquarius.  When Mars and Pluto are engaged in a harsh aspect of opposition, it is like a face-off where two power players are trying to gain control. Imagine two boxers before their showdown in the ring. They're stating their position by hurling insults and threatening each other.  ​ There is no room for pause. There is no room to catch a breath. You have to pay attention at all times otherwise your opponent takes advantage of the situation. Opposition is a push-pull relationship.  Opposition is about tension that can't be reconciled.  Opposition of Mars and Pluto brings urgency to our actions. When Mars and Pluto are involved in a tense aspect, it often feels like a survival mode – DO or DIE. Imagine unbearable pressure. It feels crushing like it's going to break you. At that moment, your instinct either kicks in and you’re going to fight for your life or you re...

All Shades of Weird - Uranus in Gemini

-
Image
  On July 7, 2025, Uranus entered Gemini, the airy domicile of Mercury. Uranus, the archetype that represents the principle of freedom and breakthrough, experimentation, and originality is now coupled with his favorite buddy. Mercury/Hermes, the ruler of Gemini, and Uranus are like mischievous buddies that crash every party. Uninvited, they show up whenever they feel like it. They have fun playing pranks on everybody to get a reaction and to stir up the trouble.    This energizing combo screams „Change for the sake of change“. Uranus in Gemini represents a double dose of speed and instability. This is an energy of „anything goes“. There are no limits and no restraints - everything is a possibility. Uranus and the sign of Gemini share a lightning-quick mind, originality, and inventiveness but at the same time, we might be dealing with overstimulation and nervous restlessness.  Our mind comes to the forefront and becomes a source of excitement. We get fascinated by tho...
