Weekly insights into the stars

There’s a huge amount going on in the heavens this week. The Sun, Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Mercury are all involved – and there’s a witchy new Moon at the end of the week…
The week starts slowly, but don’t be fooled. We’re in the Taurus season, sign of Fixed Earth. However, the rumblings and grumblings – that started with the Sun meeting up with disruptive, spontaneous but always change loving Uranus in Taurus a couple of weeks ago – are definitely getting louder…
There’s a complex picture in the making at the moment as two awkward patterns are being formed by a combination of three planets, firstly Mercury, Mars and Saturn early in the week and then Mars, Jupiter and Pluto at the weekend. In between these two tangled areas we have mixed Mercury aspects and a New Moon…
Sun conjunct Uranus in Taurus. Nearly always, these major aspects are at their most powerful when “applying”, ie in the process of becoming exact. They generally show during the 48 hours prior to the moment of exactitude and then their long lasting results are the things to be dealt with in the aftermath.
