• Solar Eclipse hints at need for closure

      The upcoming Libra Solar Eclipse at 10 degrees Libra hints at closure, completion, a parting of the ways, separation, over-straining energy. It will be mirrored by the late March 2025 Aries Solar Eclipse at 9 degrees Aries, which is in a Saros series that is physically expressive though also over strenuous and accident prone. These eclipses were around previously in 2006/7, 1988/89, 1070/71, 1952/53, 1934/35.   In between, this month’s Lunar Eclipse at 26 degrees Pisces, i
  • Uranus in Taurus – echoes of the past

    Trailblazing, sky-ruler Uranus has been moving through earthy, rooted Taurus since 2018 and will exit in April. Past experience of this hybrid mix which recurs every 84 years has been a focus on trade and money, climate and natural disasters and inventions. During this recent phase there has been an escalation in high-impact climate disasters from drought, severe storms, and floods. Key events included massive floods in Pakistan and China, record heatwaves in Europe and Asia, and intense wi

  • Anaretic – kill the old to initiate the new

    “I am on the cusp of change and the curve is shifting fast.”  Audre LordeStanding on the brink can be scary evoking images of cliff edges or even trepidation about being on the threshold of what is unfamiliar. With the four outer planets hovering in that critical phase of transition between what has been and what is about to come there is an over-wrought, push-and-pull mood. The tension comes from the tug-of-war between past securities and the urge to leap ahead across the brink

    Ed Miliband is UK Secretary for Energy, dubbed ‘Red Ed’ by his brother David when he beat him by a hair breadth in the 2010 Labour Party leadership elections, courtesy of backing from trade unions. Ed’s Net Zero policies are divisive, with criticisms of higher running costs and Tony Blair saying they are doomed to fail in the long run.  Ed Miliband born 24 December 1969 2pm London (biography), has a Capricorn Sun in the high-minded, crusading 9th house opposite a Cancer Mo

  • Psyche – an asteroid looking for a soulmate

    Mention love and rom-com fans go weak at the knees, their eyes glazing over. But the myth of Psyche, the mortal wife of Cupid, points to the heroic journey demanded before she can come together with her soulmate.  She has to undergo trials and tribulations on the path to true love which can only be gained by acquiring wisdom, temperance or moderation, courage and justice. Psyche is the latest asteroid to be graced with an astrological exploration in Anne-Marie Chabellard’s book I
  • Starmer – lying down with the dragon

    Starmer’s much lauded visit to China to thaw the ice age of relations and embrace Xi Jinping without managing to address China’s human rights abuses or fears of surveillance on UK territory has left analysts perplexed. Meagre gifts bestowed by Beijing were visa-free travel for visits of less than 30 days; stemming the flow of Chinese motors being used in the Channel; and tariffs on whisky halved, from 10 per cent to 5 per cent.  The relationship chart between Starmer and Xi Jinp

    Saturn Pluto evokes thoughts of war, hardship and deprivation but it has an often overlooked ability to create. Associated with the magician it can give the ability to wield power for good as well as ill.  Liz Greene talks of the obsessiveness, intense frustration and self-destructive quality of Saturn–Pluto contacts in a chart — purification through ordeal by fire. But the combination does bestow formidable strength and an ability to withstand pressure. Achievements of substanc

  • Iran – convenient distraction from woes at home

    Deflecting from domestic unrest and failures into foreign forays is standard for unpopular political leaders but having been voted in on an avoiding-military entanglements-abroad platform, Trump’s latest broadside against Iran is unlikely to appeal to his MAGA voters. A build-up of US military forces in the Gulf with a naval fleet headed by the Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln could be the forerunner to new US airstrikes on Iran within a few days. Despite Trump’s recent supporti

He was given one of India’s highest civilian honours and on his death, the nationalist PM Narendra Modi led the tributes to him.
