into the earthy sign of the bull.</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Its ongoing square with Pluto in Aquarius intensifies an already
intense transiting aspect. This fixed sign Square between Taurus and Aquarius symbolises
the friction between the Taurean sensual urge for security and the airy detachment
of Aquarius. This aspect can turn into power struggles, with neither party willing
to let go of firmly held beliefs. Worked with, this aspect offers enormous drive
and the willpower to achieve great things, most especially if this transit makes
aspects to the planets and angles of your birth chart. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Mathematically, it’s a fairly fleeting transit - Jupiter makes
only one exact Square to Pluto (on May 18) - but as we know, transits are processes
not one-off events. If you’re feeling this transit, consider your relationship
to power, both for the good and the shadow side of power. Do you try to control
others or yourself? Do you give your power away? Reflect upon your feelings
about money and wealth, because in this world, money and power are often
interchangeable. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Jupiter is Conjunct the North Node as it enters Taurus, so
take notice of what opportunities you are attracting into your life, and also
where you might need to have a good ol’ Pluto purge. Secrets revealed or buried
is another potential theme of this potent planetary mix. It’s also is a good
transit for practical inventiveness and environmentalism.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Be aware that Mars in Cancer is also a part of this mix, forming
a T-Square with Jupiter and Pluto. Mars in Cancer is a defensive, protective energy,
which might get in the way of putting that willpower and drive into action. The
fear of emotional vulnerability can be a blocker, but when Mars moves into Leo
on May 21, confidence can grow, along with the desire to be seen and recognised,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">In my meditation this morning I had a moment of Jupiterian optimism.
Tuning into the birdsong in my environment, I had a sense of the freedom of the
birds (Aquarius loves freedom and is also associated with flight and birds). I
then received the message that when more of us humans reclaim our own freedom (from
fear, from our mental beliefs and constructs, from the idea that wealth only refers
to money) and learn to better respect the wealth and abundance in nature, the birds

degree of the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) are spiritually
significant because they represent the midway points between the Solstices and
Equinoxes and fall on or close to the Cross Quarter Celtic/Pagan festivals.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><o:p></o:p></span><p></p>

It resonates
with the festival of Beltane (usually observed in early May), celebrating the
upcoming return of Summer. Fires are lit to represent the end of darkness and
the onset of the long days of light and fertility.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

the Avatar Degrees in spiritual astrology? These degrees are said to open
spiritual gateways. They are said to bring in synchronicities and can help us
overcome difficult odds. They also invite us to move forward, for better or worse. This creates an interesting dynamic, a
dilemma even, because Mercury Retrograde’s invitation is to proceed with
caution, and even to go backwards to rest, review and renew.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Perhaps the Moon gives us a clue. Mercury
Stations Retrograde Conjunct the Moon in Taurus, the sign where the Moon
arguably feels most relaxed and comfortable. Perhaps that’s the answer. Relax,
get comfortable, enjoy the ride, celebrate the season and in your comfort, all
the better to see the way forward when the Retrograde is over. This view is
supported by the Moon because even though it might be growing in light at the
start of the Retrograde, it’s coming off the back of an <a href="https://mandilockley.blogspot.com/2023/04/ready-for-first-solar-eclipse-of-year.html" target="_blank">Eclipsed New Moon</a> so is
still dark.

There might be an
urge to get your point across and to stubbornly double down if challenged.
Words may shock and have unexpected consequences, so be careful of saying what
can’t be taken back because this is a Retrograde where words are sacred. But
there is the potential, certainly after this Retrograde period is over (it
turns direct on May 16), to communicate powerfully with messages that truly
resonate with compassionate honesty.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "trebuchet",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><b style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><i>If you'd like some insight into how Mercury Retrograde and other upcoming planetary events affect you most personally, consider booking a private consultation - <a href="http://mandilockley.blogspot.com/p/consulations-and-other-services.html">click here for further details</a> or get in touch via the contact form to the top right of this page.</i></b></span></p>

years, I still feel awe and wonder when I see the planetary energies reflected
in world events and in the lives of individuals. I know astrology works, it has
proved itself over and again, yet still there is something magical about
noticing the correspondences between the cosmic cycles and what manifests on
our planet. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Yesterday, the phrase <i style="background-color: #fcff01;">cosmic highlighter pen</i> came to
me. Thank you, universe, this analogy perfectly encapsulates how astrology
works and what it’s trying to show us. Everything in astrology has a set of
symbolic meanings and to interpret these meanings we must apply them to the
context of our own life circumstances, our individuality, our culture etc. and
the times we live in. And this is the beauty of astrology. It remains eternally
relevant, flexible and useful. And as the planets, points, asteroids and so on
continually process across our skies, like cosmic messengers they highlight issues and situations to be
aware of and to work on.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Five days later, on
March 12, the movie </span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><i>Everyone, Everything, All At Once</i> swept the board at
the Oscars. As a sign, Pisces can be summed up by the title of this movie. In
its purest sense Pisces knows no boundaries. It doesn’t recognise time or space
and knows no limits.</span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">The movie is about a woman living a very Saturnian life of
limitation and regret, in debt to the Inland Revenue Service and struggling to
navigate difficult family dynamics, including a disappointing marriage and the
burden of caring about what her father thinks which gets in the way of
accepting her daughter’s sexuality. It is this life of drudgery and perceived
failure that sets her on the path to experiencing multiple parallel lives in
alternative dimensions and in the end, to seeing and accepting the love and joy
within her mundane reality.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">By winning so many Oscars (as well as many other awards)
this brilliant movie has been brought into mass consciousness. So what is this
trying to tell us?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">There has been much written about what this film means. Many
have said it encapsulates nihilism; the meaningless of life and its struggles
and endeavours. By this analysis, the movie, like life, means nothing and
indeed the film, is, on the surface, non-sensical. And nihilism is a plausible
Piscean quality. That point of surrender to nothingness amidst the chaos. But
Pisces can be anything. Expand your awareness and this film and indeed life can
mean anything you want it to mean. Anything and everything is possible is what
I think this film is saying and surrendering to <i>this</i> notion can bring joy
and satisfaction in unexpected ways. If you’ve seen the film, you will have
your own thoughts. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">But we are still talking about Saturn here. We are still
operating within the time boundaries and other constraints of our physical
existence and of the superego. But perhaps with Saturn in Pisces we might remind
ourselves that we are in fact spiritual beings experiencing a temporary physical
life. We might also remind ourselves to ground into our bodies and into the earth
regularly, so as to better experience freedom of spirit without dissolving into chaos. We might also
seek a way to reconcile the time constraints of Saturn with the timelessness of Pisces. How? Perhaps by remembering that while we focus so much on the past and
the future, in <i>reality </i>(reality is a great Saturnian word) there really only is the
eternal present. And in our present, we can experience the gift of meaningful surrender to
what is.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="color: black;">Here's what a recent client
said:</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><i><span style="background: white;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>"It was
my first astrology session and I did not know what to expect but Mandi was
really helpful and explained everything in an easy way. She has answered all my
questions and was very understanding when I shared my personal issues.
The session was super interesting and I took a lot from the discussion that
will be useful for the future. I would recommend Mandi to anyone."</b></span></span></i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: #20124d;">Final Memos from Pluto in Capricorn</span></b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">So now to Pluto in Capricorn. <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">I k</span>now most of the attention is on Pluto’s ingress into Aquarius
in a few days, but it’s not done with Capricorn yet. It retrogrades back into
Capricorn twice before settling into Aquarius for the long haul in November
2024.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">So what is Pluto in Capricorn highlighting for us, right
now? Remember the banking crisis of 2008, when Pluto first moved into
Capricorn? Now it’s in the last degree of the sign of the goat the world is
being reminded that there is still work to be done in the banking
sector and perhaps in the financial sector in general. In the last <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">week or
so, two banks have reached crisis point. It seems that these banks, unlike the
larger retail banking sector, have a more niche clientele, so we can hope with
some optimism that this trend will not spread. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">However, we are reminded that Pluto highlights where (collectively
and individually) we need to seize the opportunity for restructure, renewal and
rebirth. Pluto drags deep toxicity to the surface and purges so it can cleanse
and transform. In our personal lives, if Pluto is making connections with your
chart, if there is a repeat of earlier themes it highlights where we may need
to complete the work of Pluto in Capricorn so we can move on.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

to gorgeous late winter sunshine. It's perfect weather for the season and for
being in nature. Signs of spring are on their way. A bunch of pink crocuses
have come up in my garden, their petals opening and closing with the sun. A
single snowdrop has joined them.
<p></p>
<p>
Just over a year ago I adopted a very gentle cat. His name is Misty and yes,
he loves the morning mist. His name came to me in a dream and then I was
guided to my local cat shelter. A week later we brought Misty home. It was
meant to be and together we have healed each other - him from the trauma of
losing his former home and me from the grief of losing my beloved cat Milton.
</p>
<p>
I've been on a very Piscean journey these last few years, with several years
of Neptune in Pisces transits to my mutable planets and points. There has been
much loss and a long illness, but also a complete re-set of my life and my
purpose. As a Capricorn Sun, letting go of the need to be productive and hard
working, to control outcomes and to have a plan, was difficult. In the end the
universe gave me no choice but to surrender to and accept what is, with the
side effect of letting go of a lot of the grief, fear and anger I was barely
aware I was holding.
</p>
<p>
Eventually, a strong sense began to come through that divine guidance has been
supporting me all along and trying to point me in the right direction. Which
is not to say I am in any way special, because this is available to all of us.
In my case, I just wasn't listening for a long time, or perhaps didn't given
myself the space to hear it.
</p>
<p>
It became easier when my secondary progressed Sun moved into Pisces, closely
followed by my secondary progressed Moon in Pisces, my progressed New Moon.
Which brings me to the upcoming Pisces New Moon on February 20. Perhaps part
of the message of this New Moon is to look for where we might need more
acceptance in our life, to accept that we can't control everything and might be better to go with the flow for a while.</p>
<p>
A couple of weeks ago, I got together with the AOAUK team and we discussed the
Pisces New Moon as well as the current transits around it. The link is below.
</p>
<p>
Very recently, I was guided towards healing modalities and I listened, after
hearing the message a number of times. I was attuned to Reiki level II in
2007, and Reiki level I around a year before that. It was finally time for me
to take the next step and I recently completed level III<span style="text-align: justify;"> and am now a certified Usui/Holy Fire Reiki</span><span><span style="font-size: x-small;">® </span></span><span style="text-align: justify;">Master. It was such a wonderful, life and spirit enhancing experience. I
will shortly be offering Reiki treatments and distance healing, so watch
this space.</span>

I think not, because J</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">anuary 21 brings the first New Moon of the year, which to me, is the 'real' start of the year because New Moons are the start of a new Moon cycle and a time for reflecting and setting intentions. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">So, this New Moon (the Lunar New Year in Asia) is a much better time to make any new year resolutions, or review the ones you made on January 1. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Especially so, because on the first of the year both Mercury and Mars were Retrograde and by the time of this New Moon, Mars is Direct and Mercury is stationing Direct. Both are still moving slowly, but at least making forward progress and so can you.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">In my most recent podcast with Rod Chang for the Academy of Astrology, we discuss this, along with our thoughts, feelings and suggestions about the major transits that accompany this New Moon. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Scroll through to 22 minutes in for the New Moon content.</span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gCbx6bMfKfI" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><p style="background-color: white; clear: none; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 35px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">FYI, in Chinese Astrology, on January 22, we move into the sign of Rabbit, which stands for longevity, peace, and prosperity.
