Jupiter moves into Scorpio

On 11th Oct 2017 Jupiter moved into Scorpio. It will take about a year to move through this sign. This passage lasts until 8 Nov 2018.
All those with Sun in Scorpio will benefit from this period of growth and expansion. Think back to what was going on in your life between end Oct 2005 and Nov 2006. You are in a similar phase currently. Did you get involved in a relationship, did you get a new job, did your role expand at work? Did you benefit financially at this time? Where the Sun is in your chart, your luck changes and the focus shifts to growth and opportunities.

Scorpio 2017 year ahead

There is a lot going on behind the scenes. Your focus is your career and or your business interests and your direction in life. Your concerns are financial – personal resources and resources you earn from your career/business. There are issues at work/in the business. These issues are financial. In all likelihood you need to make some fundamental changes to your work and or your daily routine. The chart shows that things at work are very unpredictable at this time. There is much uncertainty and things are likely to change quickly when they do. You may also be surprised by the outcome. The message is clear you need to re-invent your work/daily routine.
What about your health at this time? You may very well need some time out to rethink your focus and direction.
It is time to think about what you want personally. Your personal financial situation is good. Time to be prudent and not wasteful with your resources.

ANC needs to reinvent itself – key message in 2018

Between April 2018 to Jan 2019 the message is loud and clear – it is time for the ANC to re-invent itself. The ANC needs to look back to the roots of the organisation and find a new sense of purpose and direction. It is time for a new generation of leaders to emerge. Uranus indicates a period of great instability as the reset button is activated. One wonders if the organisation will once again expel disruptive elements within the party. The time is ripe again for this kind of reaction. The key months to be aware of are April and Dec 2018 and Jan 2019. The action is likely to be sudden and unexpected.

Between Oct 1974 and Aug 1975 the ANC found itself in a similar position. This was an important time to redefine the strategy and purpose of the ANC. It was a time of radical change. It was a period of great instability. At this time, the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the ANC held a meeting in Tanzania and unanimously expelled eight members. The reason given was that these people were described as being involved in “disruptive factionalist activities based on reactionary racial grounds”. Amongst those expelled were Alfred Kgokong Mqota, Tennyson Makiwane, Jonas Matlou, Ambrose Mzimkulu Makiwane, George Mbele, Thami Bonga, Pascal Ngakane and O. K. Setlhapelo.

ANC in crisis

The ANC needs to redefine its purpose and reinvent itself. There is no doubt this organisation needs a major shake-up in its leadership and direction. Uranus is always associated with the rebellious and revolutionary. It is an unstable and unpredictable force. It demands change often in a chaotic manner. Its main message is innovation and reinvention. This is a critical time for the ANC – May 2017 to March 2018 (May and Oct 2017/March 2018).

The ANC faced a similar crisis between Dec 1973 and Oct 1974. A major shake-up in the ANC leadership was required. Chris Hani and Thabo Mbeki were co-opted onto the ANC’s National Executive Committee. They were the youngest members to sit on the committee at the time.

It is time again to be bold and get younger leadership involved in the ANC. The organisation needs to reinvent itself and come up with innovative solutions to the problems it faces. It indicates that this will also be a very disruptive and chaotic period in the organisation. Uranus likes chaos and surprises.

Libra 2017 year ahead

Your focus at this time is your family and your children. There are some challenges. You may not be an content as you would like. The real issue is perhaps finding time for yourself in this mix. The demands of your family and children leave little space for personal pleasure. But this is what is required at this time. What would you love to do that would fill your cup? It should be light and fun. What would you love to do? Creative and or sporty pursuits?

This is a good time to use your creative talents and perhaps benefit financially. You are focussed on the details and this is good.
You are very busy at work but this is becoming emotionally draining. Your daily routine is not good for your emotional well-being at this time. Perhaps make some changes. What about your connections to neighbours, the school and or your siblings? You may need to make some changes to improve things on an everyday basis. There is a real danger that your health suffers as a result of this continued stress.

Make some time for yourself. Take a break before it is forced upon you. Just step back and or aside for a moment to catch your breath. It could be a game changer.

There is tension with regards your joint financial situation. This is a time to be prudent and sensible with your joint financial interests. Look at your joint responsibilities to your family. What is appropriate and prudent financially?

Virgo 2017 year ahead

The focus this year is your home and family. This is a very good time to put family first. You will be rewarded for doing so. Your priorities are your partner/spouse and your children. All these members of your family are important right now. Your partner is very supportive of the role you play for the family. So don’t think this is just dog’s body work. Your efforts are being noticed and appreciated. You seem quite involved in your local community, the school routine and all that goes with that.

Your work is important to you and is rewarding in more ways than just being financially beneficial. You like to feel of service to others and you seem to be able to be doing this right now. So things are good and your routine is working for you – even if you are quite busy.

It is also good to acknowledge how much you value your connections with your siblings. These relationships are also important to you and broadly fit into your family/your roots.

There is some discomfort about your role professionally and you may need to make some changes. But it looks like you are not really clear about how you want to proceed. This is appropriate. It looks like you need to have a conversation with your partner about the financial implications of making any changes to your work and or professional role.

Does a sibling or someone from your neighbourhood end up in hospital unexpectedly? What is the impact on you personally? What happens to your busy routine?

Mercury retrograde – 13 August to 5 September 2017

Mercury is retrograde again and this time it is retrograde in Virgo – a sign it rules. This should be an interesting retrograde period. In Virgo Mercury is very pedantic, taking care to dot i’s and cross t’s. Detail, detail, detail. This is the important theme.

It would be very good to be extra careful about any communication that is uttered or sent out in emails, letters and or contracts. Choose words carefully and precisely. Look over all the details before signing important documents or contracts.

Check flight details and plan trips paying attention to all the details.

Look after keys and make sure you put them in a safe place so as not to displace them.

Backup all computer and phone information. It would be a real inconvenience if you lost information unnecessarily.

This is an important time to be patient and make sure you have all the information you need to make decisions. Perhaps hold off signing documents until you feel you have all the information required. This could well only happen once Mercury changes direction and goes direct again. Be patient. Delays may end up being kind to you. Don’t get frustrated if contracts are taking time to conclude. Once again it may well work in your favour.

If you lose an item, you may very well find it once Mercury goes direct again.

The ANC in crisis – what do the eclipses in Aug 2017 reveal?

The ANC was founded on 8 Jan 1912 in Bloemfontein. On that day the Sun was at 16 degrees Capricorn.

The sun refers to the identity of the organisation and the leadership. The sun is always associated with life/vitality. But these are dark days for the ANC.

There are 2 powerful eclipses in Aug 2017 – one today on 7 Aug – partial lunar eclipse and another on 21 Aug – total solar eclipse. In these 2 charts, Pluto sits at 17 degrees Capricorn. This is very difficult for the Sun in the chart of the ANC.

It reiterates the narrative that this is a crisis period for the leadership of the ANC. The identity of the organisation is also in a crisis. Pluto denotes that powerful and fundamental change is required. It indicates that the organisation needs to purge the current leadership or risk self-destruction. Fundamental change is required to move forward as an organisation. This vote of #NoConfidence in Zuma is critical at this time. It is a crisis point for those Members of Parliament as they have to consider voting with the conscience. Will the ANC members put South Africa ahead of the interests of the ANC? Do they recognise that this is a fundamental point in the history of the ANC and a time where the reset button needs to be activated?

The message is clear – to renew the ANC they need to purge the current leadership. If not they will self-destruct and only have themselves to blame.

Total Solar Eclipse – 21 Aug 2017 – President Trump and USA

This eclipse’s path will black out the entire midsection of the USA, from Oregon through to South Carolina. The path where an eclipse is total, is where it will be felt more powerfully on our planet. So this is a very significant eclipse for the USA. It is the first eclipse since 1918 that will completely black out the USA stretching from the west coast (Oregon) through to the east coast (South Carolina).

In addition this eclipse is very powerful and prominent for Donald Trump. He was born on 14 June 1946 in New York on the day of a total lunar eclipse. This indicates that his role in business and his public life will be prominent. His business and family interests are powerful in this chart.

The Sun and Moon at 28 Leo sits on Trump’s Ascendant (29 degrees) and Mars (26 degrees) and opposes his Part of Fortune (28 degrees) in his relationship house. His personal life and his relationship are in the spotlight. Mars is his chart rules his home and family life, foreign countries and legal issues too. In addition Saturn makes an aspect to the Sun opposed Moon and Nodes in his birth chart. Saturn teaches us to take responsibility for our actions – in his case his professional and business interests and his family. Saturn is a burden, it teaches lessons around limitations and restrictions. His role as President and his family life are under pressure at this time.

Total Solar Eclipse – 21 Aug 2017

Sun and Moon are conjunct at 28 Leo. Mars is also in Leo at 20 degrees. Leo is a fixed, fire sign. Mars by nature is aggressive and assertive. This collection of planets and the nodes form a trine aspect to both Saturn in Sagittarius and Uranus in Aries. These are all fire signs. There is a lot of fire energy in this eclipse. Saturn refers to society as a whole and the interests of the collective. There is an understanding that as society we need to look for a new truth, understand our responsibilities, respect others and seek justice for all. With Uranus in Aries there is a drive to find more personal freedom. Uranus is revolutionary and inventive. It strives to push beyond the boundaries of the tried and tested.
