The Ascendant (or Rising Sign) is not a planet but the sign rising over the eastern horizon at the time of our birth. This crucial angle can be calculated to exactitude only if the time of birth is known, which is why time is so important to an astrologer. Without a birth time it is a little like looking at a clock with no hands. The more accurate the birth time, the more accurate the horoscope.

Mercury is back up to full speed and in his own sign of Gemini and aligns with both of the Benefics, Venus and Jupiter, but also slams up against that immoveable Saturn. We have a New Moon, but it’s square Neptune. It’s a week of mixed messages.
Holly’s Mercury – Mars is the cutting and wounding words. She also has her Jupiter – Saturn conjunction opposite his Sun. The Jupiter is lovely synastry, but the Saturn is the judgement and the blocking. Saturn is the suicidal thoughts, the reason why his daughters haven’t let him out of their sight and the whole scandal has unfolded under Saturn transits for both of them, and has a long way to go, but it’s irreparable.
Full Moons bring things full circle and illuminate so pay close attention to whatever comes to light for you at the weekend. Top concerns are anything connected to education, long distance travel for holiday, work or learning, the law and justice. Jupiter also rules freedom so a Sag Full Moon can be a time of liberation, of the shackles falling away to free us from the wrong job, the wrong relationship or anything in our life that needs to change for our own well being. Jupiter is the Greater Benefic, he’s good for us.
