STAR WANDERINGS

  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...

  „Welcome magic and wonder Brilliance and grace Welcome joy, satisfaction Pleasure and strength Welcome essence, beauty, presence Time, spirit, form, and space Welcome excellence in every blessing Sacred and pray…“.            (I AM – Beautiful chorus, feat. India Arie )   On June 9, 2025, Jupiter is entering Cancer. We are turning a new, hopeful, chapter in the lunar part of our charts. I feel that the arrival of great benefic into the sign of its exaltation will be extra potent. We´re moving from Jupiter in Gemini, a masculine, mental sign of Mercury where Jupiter is in its detriment to Cancer, a feminine, fertile sign of the Moon where Jupiter is exalted.  Jupiter's journey through the intellectual sign of Gemini has delivered multiple resources at our disposal and a large amount of data to sort through. The right piece of information felt like our saving grace. This transit of Jupiter brought a kind of a scientif...

  Since Jupiter entered Gemini in June of this year, we´ve been experiencing some growing discomfort. Having both Jupiter and Saturn in my 1st house, I´m quite familiar with the dynamic of this process. It´s like the Braxton Hicks contractions towards the end of pregnancy that are signaling to the body that it is the final stretch, getting ready for labor. Even though, these contractions often get confused with the real thing, their nature tells us that „we are not there yet“. They are unpredictable and non-rhythmic, they do not increase in strength and they are more uncomfortable than painful. Your belly gets hard, the baby might be in a weird position and you can often feel and see some baby body part somewhere on your belly. It´s pretty cool but at the same time kind of frightening. You know you can´t possibly go back. You know it´s coming and you start freaking out whether you´re actually ready (of course you´re not) and whether you should do something about it. But there is st...

  Things have accelerated recently. I can´t believe it has been just a month since Jupiter ingressed Gemini. So much has happened already!  With Jupiter in airy sign of Gemini, it all feels like a grand game except noone has introduced the rules. Something always seems to come up that makes you pause. Sometimes it looks impossible right from the beginning – „this can never work out“. But in the end it tends to come together in a very mysterious way.  ​ Jupiter in Gemini is our fortune in misfortune.  He is shuffling our cards of fortune and we can never guess which ones he will deal us. He wants us to just play with whatever we have and be smart about it and when we refuse to fold he hands us a wild card. Jupiter in Gemini is an agent of chaos.  You can never figure out how Jupiter in Gemini works - there are no straight lines, no simple „cause and effect“ scenarios. Everything seems random but at the same time you sense all these events are part of some higher ...

Everybody makes some noise, Jupiter is about to ingress Gemini. This transition is a part of the ever-unfolding story. It has no beginning, it has no end. We always need to look at where we’re coming from and where we’re moving to. Jupiter is changing from the Venusian/Lunar sign of Taurus to the Mercurial sign of Gemini, from feminine to masculine sign and from fixed earthy sign to mutable airy one.  Jupiter is entering Gemini, i.e. it is activating a new house in your chart and it carries the promise that has been awakened in the Taurean part of our chart forward into a new territory. Venus, the ruler of Taurus is coming into conjunction with Jupiter this Thursday, culminating at the last degree of this sign and a few hours later she is ingressing Gemini making a way for Jupiter.  If you want to get more specific about the themes you´re going to work with, think about your Jupiter in Taurus year and the themes it brought, reflect on the events surrounding...

  As a mankind, we spend way too much time thinking our noble thoughts, drafting grand plans, and looking for solutions up in the sky while forgetting our humble earthly nature.  When anticipating major astrological events, we often tend to overfocus on a short time window looking for something extraordinary and fantastical that will catapult us into a completely different reality. Transits never happen in a vacuum though and they always have a history. Let´s just approach this in a „simple“ Taurean manner.  ​This upcoming conjunction is an important exclamation point within Uranus's slow March through the sign of Taurus. Have a look at the topics of your Taurus house. Where have you been since 2018 when Uranus first ingressed into this earth sign? What was your starting point? What was the lay of the land then? What have been the prominent themes since 2018? What has been shaken at the core for you? Where have been the most dramatic earthquakes? What got totall...

We are environmental creatures. Our soul inhabits a physical body, our body inhabits a physical world. Every day we're walking planet Earth moving through an environment that is influencing us at all times though we are not often aware of these influences. Our material reality and flow of events within this reality is represented by the Moon. The same goes for our body and fluctuations of energy and emotions within. We are creatures of comfort. We come to this world from a safe and secure environment of our mother’s body. It feels good to be taken care of. We want to be nourished and nurtured. We feel content and happy when these basic needs are satisfied. We need to be intimately connected to other beings. We want to be loved and held.  Moon and Venus both stand for what makes us happy and content in our everyday existence. They are both linked to our material existence through the sign of Taurus as domicile and exaltation rulers. A great benefic Jupiter is now transiting the sign...

  Grow through pleasure. How does that sound? How does it feel in your body? Does it feel good or does it feel unfamiliar, uncomfortable even?  Great benefic, Jupiter, is now in a good vibe territory, in Venus' land. Growing is about increasing, about getting bigger. When something grows, it takes up more SPACE. However growing has many different modalities, it isn’t just about the size. Growing can point to the development towards MATURITY. Maturity is not just a certain level we attain. An important aspect of maturation is INTEGRATION, such as the integration of personality, where our behavioral patterns, traits, etc. are gradually brought together, to work together effectively as an organized whole.  The growing process can happen through ASSIMILATION, such as absorbing nutrients from an external environment or taking in and fully understanding ideas and information from external sources. Growth can also be conducted via the CRYSTALLIZATION process where small particle...

  Saturn is often seen as obstacles, setbacks, delays we have to face, external limits we can´t get past but Saturn also points to limits within ourselves, the difficult and painful experiences and topics that we don´t want to deal with, that are sitting in our stomachs, unresolved. Like Saturn himself we all have our vulnerabilities that we swallowed at some point of our life out of fear that they are going to threaten us somehow.  With Saturn now in a mutable sign of Pisces, we find ourselves in a transitional space. What was the norm until now might not be acceptable anymore. There is a strong discontent with the present moment, the realization that there was enough of THIS already, that we can´t/don´t want to go any further like this even though we don´t know where to go next.  What we´ve built on the shores might be washed into the sea anytime, it is made from sand. There is no stable ground, nothing to hold on to. This feeling of dissatisfaction with the status quo ...

  When I think about kids, I think about the Moon and Jupiter and the Moon's domicile of Cancer where Jupiter is exalted. Babies are attached to their mothers, seeking unity and fearing  separation. The body is at the center of their being. Babies take pleasure in exploring their bodies. They want to be touched, held and rocked, they want to be nurtured and secured within their mother's universe. Their days are primarily occupied by repeating periods of sleeping, feeding and diaper changing.  They follow their instincts, they want to have their basic needs met and if they aren't, they will ask for it right away. As they're getting older, they are learning how to control their primal, instinctual reactions, how to be social but still they have a strong lunar presence. They are soft creatures, full of water and emotions that are flowing through their little bodies like wild rivers.  Kids are deeply rooted in the present moment, in a kind of timeless reality. Their expe...

  We can only do so much - research, rationalize, organize, prioritize in an attempt to cover all possible scenarios, to avoid failure but at some point this endeavor becomes pointless. We come to a point when there is no more we can do. We need to hand our dream to the Universe and say “I gave it my everything, I did my best, it is not in my power to decide the outcome of this, I am handing this over to the higher power - I TRUST, I have FAITH, I BELIEVE. Constant doubt is the harbinger of growth, prosperity, of wisdom gained over time. Reason and belief, doubt and trust - eternal tension of Mercury and Jupiter. Mars in Gemini has been tripping backward in its retrograde motion for a while, shapeshifting through Mercury’s territory and setting multiplicity as the current operating mode. You better be ready to act on things when they come up. It is what it is, this is a problem- solving time. Things take twice as much time to figure out and more often then not you’ll have to get ba...

  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...
