AURUM ASTROLOGY Finding the Gold in Life

The Full Moon today is shining on us from the wonderful sign of  Leo, with a stellium (several planets) clustering around the Sun opposite in Aquarius. This very potent Full Moon  brings us breakthroughs, creativity, self-expression, and power/bravadoas it calls us to uplift others through your own authentic self-expression.  This Moon brings to a head so much of what occurred in January ~  a very intense month with energetic zaps coming at us from all directions. From solar flares to interstellar comets to the cluster of planets travelling first through Capricorn and now Aqaurius  all bumping into Pluto (the destroyer). A cluster f#ck.  The quality of time ahead in February is equally intense, charged and unpredictable,  with many turning points and major astrological events: Saturn enters Aries, a solar eclipse occurs in Aquarius, and Saturn joins Neptune in Aries on the Aries Point. Uranus (the awakener) will turn direct then enter Gemini (the quick...

 The New Moon in Capricorn this Sunday (Jan 18) offers a deep reset that is rooted in the Capricorn themes of purpose, integrity, and steady action. The symbol for Capricorn is the mountain goat who climbs to precarious mountain tops.  If you have a project to begin or complete, now's the time to do it. Interestingly, this mountain  goat is actually a sea goat with a fishy tail, suggesting that Capricorns are deliciously complex. On one hand Capricorns are tenacious, down-to-earth, very hard-working and very passionate about their life's purpose as they strive for the mountain top. On the other hand - these  goats swim in deep waters and can be incredibly creative and inventive, with many famous artists like David Bowie, Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, John legend, Jim Carrey (and many more)  a testament to that. While  Capricorns can have a serious, competitive and tenacious side that drives them forward, they often struggle with negativity. With Saturn the h...

Happy New Year!   2026 begins with a powerful Super Full Moon in Cancer , a watery lunation that marks an emotional peak and an opportunity to release another layer. It may reveal what emotional baggage we are carrying into the new year and offer a gentler way forward, with more ease and grace.   The first Full Moon of the year is known as the Wolf Moon , named for the time when food was scarce and wolves howled through the winter nights. There is a similar intensity to this Cancer Full Moon—a deeply sensitive sign—where vulnerabilities are heightened, but so too are compassion, support, and healing.   This is also a Supermoon , appearing larger and brighter as it moves closer to Earth. With Jupiter joining the Moon , emotions feel abundant and amplified. This lunation is especially potent because Cancer is the Moon’s natural home, where lunar energy is strongest. Arriving just days after the New Year, it acts as an emotional exhale—clearing space so we can truly be...

  Note: This is long. Make yourself a cup of tea... (I post shorter daily updates on Facebook ) Here we are again at the turning point of the year , another turning of the wheel. The longest night, the shortest day. It all feels rather exciting, yet also daunting ~ because no one really knows what is to come (yep, even astrologers haven't got a clue and if they say they do, they are probably faking it lol). What we all agree on is that majour change is in the air, yet it's hard to see down the road right now (thank you Neptune). Big changes are in store for 2026 ~ things are accelerating as all outer planets change signs (or already have ) ... this is quite rare to happen all at once, shifting the tone and tenor significantly and making the promise of the next few years quite remarkable in ways yet to be seen.    As we enter this last stretch of the calendar year, we first encounter the Dark of the Moon (when the Moon is so close to the Sun we cannot see it. The luna...
