Happy new moon! In the early hours of this morning, there was a new moon in Libra.
Libra being the sign that seeks balance, this is an excellent time to look for peace, calm and harmony in your life.
That said, you may find this a particularly intense time as Venus, the ruler of Libra is at a tense aspect with Mars.
Take into account that this new moon counsels seeking peace, and your activities pursuing the path of balance and peace are likely to benefit you.
That said, the moon in Scorpio early in the week could well bring intense emotions to the surface. Luckily positive aspects towards Thursday and Friday will encourage an optimistic approach towards the resolution of any issues that come up at the start of the week.
Meanwhile, while the sun remains in Libra, you may be more than usually drawn to the arts, music and dance and this is certainly a good time to indulge in these activities.
This is also a good week to recognise if any relationships need a little more work as again, your efforts to infuse your life with more peace, calm and harmony are likely to reap rewards.
I hope you have a balanced and lovely week!
Pro tip: there were reports of high solar activity and beautiful auroras last night, and the likelihood of further aurora tonight. Sometimes these are best viewed through a camera lens as this will pick up more colour variations.

It’s a week of discovery…And what you discover may well be something about yourself!
Some though, depending on your own chart, may discover something about someone else that becomes useful to know further down the track.
The conjunction between Mercury and retrograde Venus in Scorpio on Wednesday brings an excellent time to chat and to meet all kinds of people outside your usual everyday realm.
The current opposition between the sun and Saturn may well initiate the opportunity to make long-term arrangements and agreements. If you take the initiative, this is certainly a productive time.
It is also a good week to re-imagine not only your finances but also your long-term duties and commitments.
If you’re finding the current time fairly intense, the concentration of energy in Scorpio may well account for this to some degree… suffice to say, if this is an intense phase for you, it’s always in your interest to find kind ways to take some of the pressure off yourself.
That said, some people thrive under pressure or under intense circumstances.
Either way, I certainly do wish you a productive and contented week. x

The current harvest moon lights the way for farmers as they bring in the harvest and it’s so-called because the moon rises at nightfall to shine a light allowing farmers to bring crops in or to work later into the day than usual.
Today’s full moon is in Aries and for many of us it will bring a sense of action and increased enthusiasm for fun activities.
In addition, Mars in Leo this week accentuates the benefits of taking action especially where perhaps in the past you have hesitated to do so or simply have not been in a position to take action.
In addition, aspects this week encourage synchronicity and good luck.
This week you may also be called to stand up for yourself so that fair play has room for expression.
All the above may ask that you take extra care with communications, especially avoiding speaking before you’ve adequately thought things through.
It’s likely to be a busy or a varied week, encouraging activities that may take you outside your usual comfort zone. If you’re travelling, be prepared to slow down if necessary.
Wishing everyone a plentiful harvest for all your hard work!

20/09/2026

As the sun enters Libra on Wednesday, this is the Spring equinox in the southern hemisphere and of course the Autumn equinox in the northern hemisphere. *
The sun in Libra always brings a call to find balance and fair play.
The sun’s current aspects (to Chiron and the moon’s south node) also bring into account that we may now learn from recognising both our strengths and our vulnerabilities.
You may need to ask yourself whether you are playing to your strengths or to your vulnerabilities?
It’s a good week (as always) to play to your strengths, and you may need to dig deeper than usual to do so.
It’s possible this week that new parameters come into play if you feel vulnerable … but then we often discover our strengths when we overcome our weaknesses.
You may even discover or experience an unprecedented situation. If so, it will be your time to shine - by rising to the occasion.
The next four weeks bring the opportunity to prepare for the summer and to find ways to establish peace, calm and harmony in your own individual life. The arts, nature, beauty and music will all feel enriching…
I hope you have a wonderful week. x
* The time of equal day and night is the equilux… which is always a few days before the Spring equinox, so right now!

13/09/2026

Powerful aspects this week determine future trends, so keep an eye on developments!
If you like to take the initiative and like to be proactive about where your life goes, it’s certainly a good week to be aware of your own power and to take action based on your own effectiveness and capabilities.
Planetary aspects pick up on a big-picture story I wrote about concerning the idea that this year’s developments on a global scale will provide insight into our collective future.*
This week’s planetary aspects provide significant additional information that clarifies our collective path.
Meanwhile, in our own lives, we have a powerful say in the avenues we take, and this week’s stars will help everyone to gain (at the very least) a clearer understanding of the weeks and months to come.
I hope you have a good week. x

06/09/2026

As we sail collectively towards Friday’s Virgo new moon, this is an excellent time, especially today, for cleaning and a general tidy up around the home.
If you live like I do on the eastern seabord, the heat is already here for springtime and there’s no better time for a spring clean! This largely because your hard work will pay off…
During the week will be an excellent time to consider which practical plans you can put in place, especially around making your daily life more pleasant…
Ask yourself if there are any ways you could include more of what you love into your daily schedule?
And, while it is a good week to get on top of chores and work, it is also an excellent week to focus on your own health and happiness in practical terms: schedule healthy breaks!
The days after the new moon - next weekend - will be great for implementing some of your plans and the upcoming days beforehand are excellent for putting some of your plans to the test through talks and discussions.
It’s likely you’ll enjoy a key reunion or at least a catch-up by phone with someone you love or admire this week and, if you haven’t planned a get-together yet, why not schedule it in!
I hope you have a great week. x

30/08/2026

The progressive aspect between Saturn and Jupiter on Tuesday brings promise to the week. But it will require hard work.
Luckily, the current Aries moon encourages a proactive, dynamic outlook to the start of the week.
The myth of Sisyphus comes to mind this week as pushing a rock up a hill may apply especially if you’re formulating long-term goals.
Luckily (again!) it’s likely that hard work will pay off. So keep going with the aim to avoid repeating past mistakes or patterns you already know are counter-productive.
Midweek, good news and/or the chance for progress and the chance to break bad habits will be welcome.
And, while the sun and Mercury are in Virgo, it’s always a good time to: ‘make hay while the sun shines’!
Have a good (productive) week. x🌞
Photo: anti-crepuscular rays with the recent waxing full moon…I hope your lunar eclipse wasn’t too intense. x🌕

23/08/2026

The light has been stunning over the past few evenings…the anti-crepuscular rays are just visible, shining on the horizon in the powder blue sky as the creek in the foreground finds its way to the ocean in this photo. Some say that dusk is particularly healing^.
Health, healing and work become the focus now as the sun enters Virgo, shortly followed by Mercury.
There’s also an aspirational quality to the week: we may all be looking at how we’d prefer life to be as opposed to how it is.
And there’s nothing wrong with dreaming a little to make well-laid plans…
The partial lunar eclipse in Pisces on Friday* will make it clear to you whether you have overestimated or underestimated a situation.
If you have planned well in the past, you are likely to attain positive outcomes for all your hard work..
But if a course correction is necessary, this is something that can be accomplished with a little effort over the next four weeks.
This upcoming lunar eclipse could feel intense, especially if you are sensitive to full moons. This lunar eclipse closes one door and opens another, especially for Virgos with birthdays on Friday (happy birthday!)
(It’s likely there will be a plot twist towards the end of the week).
I hope you have an excellent week.

*Friday’s partial lunar eclipse will be visible in north and South America, Europe and Africa and some parts of western Asia.

16/08/2026

The current eclipse season right now* will show you areas of your life you could improve, so keep an eye out!
Situations may occur where you realise you would be better doing something different for a change. And, if things are not working out for you, you’ll gain the choice to alter how you go about things, or even to choose a fresh path.
For some, though, eclipse seasons will ask you to be brave: to ask yourself where you can extend yourself? Where can you admit you are not doing as well as perhaps you could? On the other hand, you may need to ask yourself: are you being too harsh on yourself?
For everyone this will be different. This eclipse season will demonstrate one or the other about what must change in you: either you could be braver - or if you tend to over-commit to everyone and to everything, you must make a valid choice.
It’s quite possible next week that you receive good news, despite having to extend yourself in the process. But at the very least, even if news is not what you had hoped for, you will gain the information you need to make valid decisions about your bigger picture hopes and plans.
I hope you have a great week. x

* (the second in the series of two eclipses will be on August 28)

09/08/2026

As we begin the August eclipse season, you may already be aware that some aspects of your life are coming to an end…And that new shoots of growth are forming.
If not, this week and next will bring increased awareness that certain areas of your life are changing, as one door closes and, inevitably, another opens.
The total eclipse of the sun will be on Thursday in the sign of Leo. It’s a good time to ask yourself where you derive most of your sense of belonging, self-esteem and direction.
You may even decide it’s time to take action in areas that have not moved in a way you would prefer them to.
If you find yourself low in self-confidence or motivation, the signal there is to find ways to improve both these aspects of yourself as both self-esteem and motivation enable you to take positive action.
And, while eclipses have a reputation for bringing changes we would rather not have to manage, this week’s planetary aspects indicate it’s a good time to time to invest in yourself, and also to discuss important topics and make necessary changes both financially and in your personal life.
A solar eclipse is always a new moon and so in the days following the eclipse, these are excellent days to take action while during this upcoming few days, to formulate your plans.
I do you hope you have a wonderful week. x
Pro tip: Thursday’s new moon will be a total solar eclipse, which has the diamond ring effect when the moon moves on from completely covering the sun (from our perspective). It will not be visible in Australia, but it will be visible in areas of northern Europe, Spain, northern Russia, the Arctic, and a partial eclipse will be visible in parts of the UK. (If you’re reading this from that part of the world, remember your eclipse glasses!)
