Have you ever been wondering about the astrological compatibility between you and your partner? Here is the link to the synastry reading I offer: starsandstones.wordpress.com/astrological...

Venus sextile Jupiter, today. Usually a very beneficial aspect, indicating love & pleasure, etc., but with Venus debilitated by Fall in Virgo and Jupiter Exalted, one can expect the joy to be very short and single sided. (🎨 Jupiter rebuked by Venus, Abraham Janssens, c.1612) #Venus #Jupiter

More on Andromeda, fixed star Alpheratz, and its influence when rising in your birth chart, in my book A Stargazer’s Book of Astrology #Astrology #History #Translations

Today’s Full Moon is conjunct fixed star Alpheratz, located on Andromeda’s head. This conjunction is beneficial, promising honour, wealth, and success. (Illustration of Andromeda from 'The Wonders of the Creation and the Curiosities of Existence' by Zakariya'ibn Muhammad al-Qazwini)

Wishing you all a Happy Aries Full Moon (🌙 opposite 🌞Tuesday 3:48UT) Aries, watercolour and ink on paper, from a manuscript created in Ulm or Augsburg, Germany, c. 1464; in the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles) #FullMoon #Aries #Astrology

🌙 moves into Aries & Lunar Mansion #1 Monday 4:48UT, good for journeys & love spells. The 6 stars on the right refer to the two sets of 3 determinant fixed stars of Lunar Mansions #1 and #2 in Aries. (Michael Scot, Liber Introductoris, 14th C. BSB Clm 10268, MDZ München)

Wishing you all a peaceful solar eclipse! The eclipse point, which is on an anaretic degree in Virgo (read as ‘fated’), opposes Saturn. The image shows a solar eclipse, depicted by Ottoman astronomer Ibrahim Tiflisi, in 1479. #SolarEclipse #Astrology #AnareticDegree

Venus ingress into Virgo wherein she will stay until 13 October. This will downgrade her status from peregrine to being in her fall. [Picture source: The Book of Felicity (Matali’ al-saadet), 1582]

Although Mercury is currently dignified by Sign & Face rulership, and Exaltation, cazimi will put him into overdrive, so you can achieve what would be difficult otherwise. The cazimi phase begins Saturday 03:18UT and ends 18:27UT. #astrology #Mercury #Cazimi

Sun in a quadriga emitting red rays forming a mandorla, drawn by 4 horses. In front of the chariot are 6 circles labelled with the names of the planets (Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Luna, Mercury), and another, labelled Terra. (Michael Scot, Liber Introductoris, 14th C. BSB Clm 10268, MDZ München)

Kudos to Benjamin Dykes, who, once again, has provided us with an academic level translation at a non-academic price tag (£27.-). I was looking longingly at Brill’s Burnett/Yamamoto translation for years, before I was able to get hold of a copy. PdF version comes at a price tag of €518.- (£447.62)

Venus conjunct Jupiter on Monday/Tuesday, promising love, happiness, and harmony. It is probably the best transit of the year, but the square to Mars and Saturn reminds us that not all that glitters is gold! (🎨 Lunar Love, by Andrei Protsouk)

Wishing you all a happy Aquarius Full Moon (Sun opposite Moon Saturday 7:55 UT). May it bring enlightenment and humanity in these challenging times. (🎨 Josephine Wall) #astrology #FullMoon #Aquarius

Magical Gems: Sardonyx (a gemstone attributed to Mars) engraved with a depiction of Ares (a.k.a. Mars), 1st - 3rd Century BC. This was most likely a planetary gemstone, specifically made for a person with a weak or debilitated Mars in their birth chart.

Mars has moved into Libra where he is in his detriment. This can lead to problems with anger management, or passive aggressive behaviour in some people. Others may struggle with asserting their needs and boundaries, depending on Mars placement in their nativities. #astrology #MarsInLibra

UPDATE: Bookings can still be made for Annual Prediction, aka Birthday Readings for late ♍️ Virgo and ♎️ Libra Sun births. No more spaces for ♌️ Sun births remain! For more information follow the link: starsandstones.wordpress.com/astrological... #ProgressedReadings #AnnualPredictions #Astrology

Needed to buy a thing, write, build, sign, or fix a thing, but were worried about Mercury being Retrograde? Now is your chance because Mercury will be cazimi between 31 July at 19:42 UT and 1 August at 3:42 UT. When cazimi (conjunct 🌞), Mercury gets the upgrade it needs to go into overdrive.
