STAR-LOOM

“The Healing Hand”copyright Gery Mews While last month’s powerful Leo energies have put a strong emotional signal for living in accordance with our own beliefs, abilities and true purpose, the more grounding Virgo phase of the moment is helpful with separating the non-essential from the essential. The task is to adjust and amend where we might have gone too far and therefore out of synch with the larger picture and developmental necessities. It is a time of reflection and self-…

“Follow Your Heart”Artwork supplied by Gery Mews We are in the 2nd eclipse season of the year with a Solar Total Eclipse occurring on August 12/13 followed by a Lunar Partial Eclipse on August 28. Events that happen near eclipses take on increased importance and can work out unexpectedly.

“Transformation”by Gery Mews We have passed the midway point of a decade defined by global transformation. The journey into the unknown started on January 12, 2020, with the deeply challenging Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn. It coincided with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a massive shift of power toward governmental control and the transference of wealth to the plutocracy, an elite or ruling class whose power derives from their wealth. By the end of 2020, Saturn and Jupiter…

“End-of-Cycle”by Gery Mews 2025/26 will be remembered as the watershed years of the decade when we manifest the epochal shift from the old materialistic and stable Earth Age to the fast-paced unpredictable Air Age. The year begins with Mars retrograding through the early degrees of Leo and in opposition to Pluto in Aquarius calling for our determination and courage to give power to the spirit of innovation and renewal. Mars retrogrades back to Cancer on January 6 and will remain in the sign…

“The Azure Dragon”by Gery Mews In astrology we study the cycles of the three slow-moving outer planets -also described as the transpersonal planets – as the key markers of our collective experience through history. These outer planets have long orbits: Pluto 246 years, Neptune 165 years and Uranus 84 years.

Pluto in Aquarius: Transformation of Worldviews   Pluto journeys through Aquarius about four times in a millennium (246-year orbit). Each time when the Lord of the Underworld enters the most social and idealistic sign of the zodiac a period of upheaval, liberation and reflection on what it means to be human is initiated. Uranus, the ancient sky god and modern ruler of Aquarius, and Pluto, modern ruler of Scorpio, represent quite different energies. Our highest and loftiest ideals (Aquarius) are…

Today, the Chinese year of the Water Rabbit begins. It is meant to be more mellow and calm than the year of the Tiger that has just ended.

However, Jupiter and Saturn will move into innovative Aquarius before they make their…

Lots has happened since the exact Saturn/Pluto conjunction on January 12: we had the bushfire catastrophe, the floods and now the coronavirus! Saturn/Pluto conjunctions and oppositions are known for correlating with massive changes that catapult us out of our comfort zone. At the last  opposition in 2001/2 we had 9/11, a stock market crash and the Sars-virus. At the last conjunction in 1982/83 the first Aids cases were diagnosed; since then we have witnessed an ever expanding globalised world. Similar to  2020, Jupiter was…
