The astrological sign of Leo this month has overseen one of the most powerful planetary line-ups that we astrologers have ever seen – the Cardinal Grand Cross – that culiminates during these first two weeks of August. Today, there is a new moon in the sign of Leo, and while it remains unaspected from the six planets on the cardinal cross, the Sun and Moon powerfully bear witness to it with their sovereign Leonine quality, conjunct today as they were at the same degree of Leo on the last major millennial gateway – the solar eclipse of 11th August 1999.
I am running another “Astrology of Now” workshop. It will be in Bath on Sat 25th September. Details to follow shortly.
In this latest video blog I explore this relationship and also look ahead to the Lunar Eclipse on the Winter Solstice of 2010 – yet another millennial marker in the extraordinary phase of transition and transformation that we are now experiencing.




Full Moon in Pisces
I’ve been reflecting on the incredible period of time we’ve just experienced. So many people I have spoken, both clients and friends have relayed to me the most incredible stories of crisis and breakthrough in their lives. My strong intuition is that a portal of consciousness has opened up over this period and is continuing to do so. While the intensity of the Cardinal Grand Cross alignment itself now begins to wane, with Saturn moving further in Libra over the coming weeks and months, and Uranus now retrograded back in Pisces, soon to be joined by Jupiter, we will not see another line-up like the one we have seen over the past two months. However, Jupiter and Uranus will make two more conjunctions over the next five months, both in Pisces, and the Uranus-Pluto square still has another couple of years to work itself through, taking us right through to 2012.
Transformational change always occurs on an inner level first, before we see the consequences out in the world, and I really feel there has been a powerful shift within a critical mass of people over the Grand Cross alignment. What unfolds on a global scale over the coming months will be fascinating to observe, and I remain optimistic that extraordinary cultural, political and spiritual shift is possible to brink us back from the brink.
I’m running more workshops on The Astrology of Now. The next is on Sat 25th September in Bath. More Details…
I’m away on holiday until 5th September, but will be posting more video insights into the astrology of 2010 when I get back. Have a great full moon!
