If you have not guessed it from the photo above, this New Moon in Libra, the astrological aerialist, is all about love, partnerships (both personal and business), truth in our commitments and the balance we seek in and through them. How can this moon contribute to us realizing our love and work related partnerships? First and foremost we need to comprehend what balance actually is. We all know what it means but what is it really?

Do not shoot the Messenger

Hermes, wildly known as Mercury, was the Messenger to the Gods of Olympus in ancient Greek mythology. He was fast, with wings on his sandals and quite crafty. In astrology, when a planet like Mercury turns Rx-retrograde like it does today, October 14 to November 4, it is big news indeed. When this occurs, you will read or hear about delays, miscommunication and a general atmosphere permeated with havoc. Avoid putting your signature or make serious announcements or decisions, is also on the agenda. With Mercury in intense and secretive Scorpio, a lot can be revealed on both a personal and collective level. Shady politicians and other like minded creatures, beware. All this activity can be enough to make, even a sensible person, panic. No need for that! How to easily turn this upheaval to your benefit? Just stick to the three T’s, I like to call them, and who knows,

Thrice the Arrow

On September 25, the Moon will be in Sagittarius, the Arrow Carrier of our zodiac family. In simple terms, for about two days it will reflect the Archers characteristics on all that it illuminates! The exciting astronomical news, is that it will meet Jupiter and Saturn, the two largest planets of our solar system and this will be visible from earth, as the sky darkens. What a beautiful trio this conjunction will be, as the luminous Moon, Jupiter’s red spot and Saturn’s rings, will be visible with binoculars or a telescope. Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so this light will be compatible to its natural astrological essence. Saturn is in rigid Capricorn, its ruling sign and can greatly benefit form the Sagittarius exuberance. How can we make the most of this energy, that rules our higher mind?

More often than not, the questions or comments addressed to me regarding Feng Shui, are about ‘energy’. People often ask; ‘is there good energy in my home”? “What do you think of the energy in my office”. “My bedroom has bad energy, will a pink candle bring me luck in my relationships”? “I put an aquarium on the north of my office and still, no business luck”! I do not blame you, with an overflow of information out there, how can you not get confused! Here is a simple, albeit oversimplified explanation, for easy understanding, of what Feng Shui is and how it will practically serve your respective needs.

Lunar Occultation

We just experienced a beautiful Full Moon in Pisces, on September 2nd. By September 6, it is still in fiery Aries, not Full but still buoyant. As we know, its orbit around Earth is not circular, rather elliptical; basically, more egg shaped that circle. On September 6, at 12:46 a.m. EDT – 04:46 a.m. GMT, in South Europe, America and West Africa, you will be able to observe the Lunar Occultation of Mars. In essence, as seen from Earth, the Moon will pass in front of Mars and hide it from view. In astrology an occultation has the impact of an eclipse. In itself, not as powerful, but in combination with

Virgo, the celestial virgin

Virgos work hard. We work hard to destroy the planet. If we reverse our actions, we will work hard to fix it.

According to the Greek Mythology, Astrea, was an immortal virgin (referring to purity of heart not physical) goddess, the last one to live among humans. She lived during the Golden Age of the human kind. The ancient Greek poet Hesiod, wrote about the five ages of human kind, beginning with the golden age, a time of prosperity and harmony, down to the iron

Cronus (Saturn) opposes the Sun on July 20th at 22;14 GMT/July 21st at 01;14 (GMT+3) and being at its closest distance to our planet, gives us the unique opportunity to observe this majestic planet, with its rings and moons. It is the sixth planet in the darker outskirts of our galaxy. The New Moon is
