With Neptune and Saturn about to cross the cusp from Pisces into Aries heading towards a conjunction, what can we expect from this celestial event bringing together two incompatible energies, Saturn the realist, Neptune the fantasist? Sounds like an awkward marriage! 

Here we explore the possible ways this could pan out.

Let’s face it, Mercury retrograde periods have a reputation for disruption. 

It’s great to have something to blame for daily woes and a prime target for that is Mercury retrograde periods. That is when the planet Mercury appears to go backwards against the movement of the sun and the other planets.

 The astrology books say it “disrupts communication”.

Misunderstandings abound, feelings get bruised. You just miss an important phone call. Letters don’t arrive (bills still manage to get through, however…) and connections just don’t happen.

It’s Mercury retrograde.

Here are some suggestions here on how to navigate the chaos.

Neptune was discovered in 1846 around the time of the invention of photography, and the discovery of anaesthetics. But anaesthetics are merely the lowest vibration of Neptune – to wipe yourself out with alcohol or opioids because the pain of life is too great. While the highest level is the access to universal consciousness. So, how do we get from the lowest to the highest?

Here we create the big picture of the subtle yet powerful astrological influence of the planet Neptune.

To understand the nature of prediction and divination means understanding the nature of time. We look at time from different points of view using the astrological understanding of the planets as a map to guide us: 

From Saturn's time of duration, Uranus' non-linear time, Neptune's cosmic time of eternity, the Centaurs' mythological time to the time of the centaur Asbolus that allows us access to time as probability...

This podcast comes from the e-book on Asbolus,  "Asbolus, Divination and Alternative Realities" part of a series on the centaurs. 

The e-book is now available from Amazon. It includes a guide to interpretation and case studies of Asbolus in the charts of historical and contemporary celebrities.

If you live in a city, you’ll know it isn’t easy to follow the cycle of the moon. If you’re in a desert or in the middle of an ocean and there isn’t a streetlight for hundreds of miles, the stars are so big and so close and you can watch the sky turning and the stars rising and setting and you have to remind yourself that the sky isn’t moving, it’s the earth that’s turning. And you can watch the moon changing over the whole month. From new to full and back to new again.

But in a city, there’s air pollution and light pollution and there are buildings cluttering up the horizon. And you might if you’re lucky catch a glimpse of the moon, sometimes a crescent, sometimes a half-moon sometimes a gibbous moon, sometimes full. But you can’t grasp the whole picture. You’re unable to say, ‘Tonight the moon will be so many days old, it will rise at this time, and it will have this or that shape.”

And so this piece is written to give the whole story. The beginning, middle, end and beginning again of the moon’s orbit round the earth. Where to expect to see her. What shape you expect to find her in. But as to what it all means astrologically, that will have to wait. First let’s make sense of the mechanics of it and learn how to follow the cycle of the moon.
