Feel a shift in the ether this week? Chances are you felt something, with the last full Moon of 2013 joining mighty Jupiter (17th December) in curious, restless Gemini. If that didn't frazzle or excite your emotions then perhaps Uranus shifting gears had more of an impact? The rabble-rouser, who adores change, freedom and all things shiny and new, is currently in pioneering and sprightly Aries. This combination simply bursts with activity - Uranus encourages innovation and the alternative, which suits Aries' taste for getting the ball rolling on fresh projects. Uranus promotes individualism and freedom while Aries is often me-first with a impatient streak - there's really no holding back. Indeed, excitement reigned when Uranus entered this Sign in 2011 - particularly for Aries themselves (and those with prominent Aries in their birth charts), as well as Aquarians, ruled by Uranus. It seemed this pairing had the potential to change the world for the better, inciting the ma

What is the meaning of life , indeed, of existence ? It’s a question probably as old as our race. Maybe it’s a question that only arose because of our race? Yet no one has ever found the answer, although many have found a truth that suits them. Old Texts , New Thoughts R eligious texts, such as the  B ible,  at one time purported to have all the answers. Nothing much had to be questioned  - and in fact should not be questioned -  because everything was explained in  these comprehensive tomes . S ome insist  on keeping these views alive, perhaps   due to valuable morals but also from a  reluctan ce  to  let go of beliefs and practices that once served a purpose .  Maintaining  beliefs  also provide s  a sense of  comfort, security and familiarity. New ways of thinking and believing can be daunting, frightening an d difficult for some to embrace  yet for others  they’re  exciting, full of possibility and ultimately necessary; eventually the new  will likely  triumph.   Many p

Where did it all begin?  Perhaps a m ore  pertinent question is  how did it all begin? And why?  Maybe it  isn't  all that relevant; we’re here and living life and that’s all that matters. It seems, though, I'm a little too curious… Point of  the  Unknown There is always going to be a point of unknown, a point of mystery. This is the point from which life and existence, as we know it, emerged. None of us know what existed beforehand, if anything or if it’s possible for nothing to have existed. For then where did everything originate; a big bang, a Metaverse, a parallel Universe or dimension? If so, where, how and why did  they  originate? Maybe everything was created by some grand, overseeing deity who was simply just bored? I remember, as a child, staring out my bedroom one day and thinking, what would happen if the ground disappeared? There’d be more earth underneath. But w hat w ould happen if the Earth disappeared? There’d be Space.  Then  what happen s if  

Are you experiencing recurring or old fears that are continually presenting themselves? By using the mythology of Saturn for insight, along with a short meditation, we can help to release those fears. In a previous  post  I talked about Saturn, Uranus and Pluto as signs of collective changes taking place in our society now, affecting us individually. Many of us are experiencing setbacks, which likely stem from fear. In astrology, Saturn represents our personal fears, challenges and limitations, where we feel blocked by obstacles, sometimes defeated and of course deterred. We might think of courage as the antithesis of fear however I’m suggesting love; love has the power to dissolve fear, through different virtues like bravery. Using astrological mythology, Saturn is currently in retrograde in the zodiac Sign of Scorpio. This means, from our earthly perspective, it appears to be travelling backwards through the zodiac. This symbolises a revision, a review of issues related to Saturn.
