Weekly Hello

We are now in that delicate period between eclipses when, like a wildfire, there are no flames to be seen, but the fire is gathering pace underground. Maybe some of you have had epiphanies or faced events that came out of thin air, but even without a notable development, the seeds of change are being sown.

I watched the solar eclipse with my other half in the carpark at Morrisons! We were joined by a handful of expectant sky watchers, but unfortunately, in this part of the west country, there was no drama. The light barely faded, although the birds were circling frantically, and the moment of totality went by unnoticed. However, I took some photographs, which are eerie, one of which graced the Friday Bite.

Next week opens on a Mars-Neptune square – the epitome of chaos and confusion – although it can also inspire divine and selfless action. And if you’re a creative, expect to be coming up with ideas from nowhere. Only, of course, it’s courtesy of Mars and Neptune.  

Venus also opposes Saturn (Friday) which is an aid to endurance and durability, and a positive plus if you’re getting married or doing anything that you want to prove lasting. Any Saturn transit requires work though, and I suspect there will be some difficult days ahead.

In yesterday’s Friday Bite, I looked at a speculative chart for Jason Arday, the youngest black person ever appointed to a professorship at Cambridge University, and commented on Saturn’s current position on his IC – in my beginning is my end. Sadly, Arday died on Friday, and we presume he took his own life. A tragic end to a story of triumph over the odds.
