Saturn through the Houses

1st House
This is an important time to take care of your physical body and to put into place structures that ensure that you are consistent with anything concerning your health. For example: a good diet, enough regular exercise, rest and sleep, positive thoughts.

You are at the beginning of a new chapter in your life. It’s vital to set clear priorities and to stick to them. You won’t have the energy to be scattered, but you can be very productive if you focus on just two or three essential goals.

2nd House
This transit gives you a wonderful opportunity to take stock of your finances, to look at how you spend money, how you save money, what you want to achieve financially. You will need to make well thought through financial decisions during the next couple of years.

Discover what makes you feel good about yourself, what your talents are, and then figure out a way to make money from those gifts. It’s not a time to splurge financially, but rather to be focused and to have a clear plan of action.

The key is to develop the new self confidence that you found while Saturn was transiting your first house and take it into the practical world to produce tangible results.

3rd House
Saturn in this house does not allow you to scatter your energies. It’s important to structure your time and your effort. Cut out extraneous communications e.g. obsessive SMS, emails, phone calls, playing video games, or anything that is distracting you from accomplishing your goals. You’ll be able to structure the way you network and communicate more effectively. You can get rid of time-wasters and things that distract you and focus more on what is really important.

This is a wonderful time for undertaking a serious course of study that could lead to a new career and / or a professional qualification. Focus on taking practical steps on a daily basis. Look at your ideas more seriously and find a way to make them work in the real world.

4th House
This transit could trigger an exploration of your roots, where you came from, your past. Limitations from early family conditioning can come up. You may feel alone, unsupported, especially at the beginning of the transit. You may take on some family responsibilities, or a child could leave home.

It’s a great time to reorganise your home and there is often a move of home during this three year period. You might be redecorating, renovating,

Anything to do with real estate can come up: – selling, buying, moving, renting. Be extra careful when buying or dealing in any property issues because you may buy something or rent something that needs repairs and work doing to it. Make sure you check structure of the property very carefully before you sign the contract.

5th House
This placement of Saturn wants you to learn to love yourself and not to look outside yourself for love from others. It’s time to focus on what gives you pleasure and to make sure that you regularly do things that are fun and uplifting.

This is the perfect time for starting your own business, putting in a solid structure, for getting serious about turning a hobby or a creative idea into a career.

It’s not a good time for gambling and speculation. If you must invest, make sure you are being conservative and sensible.

6th House
This transit of Saturn will teach you how to be more productive and focused in your work. You may embark on a new job or career or restructure your career altogether.

It’s a wonderful time for taking full responsibility for your health and for correcting any bad habits. At the start of the transit, get yourself checked out medically and see if anything needs to be adjusted. During this transit you will have the opportunity to put into practice more discipline with your health that can increase your energy and productivity.

7th House
This transit will give your relationships an overhaul. If you are already in a relationship, if you have not been happy for a long time, this could be the time of a separation. Or, if you are prepared to put in some hard work and effort into the relationship and you can ride through the tough times, by the end of this transit your relationship can be stronger than ever before. It’s usually a make or break time.

If you are single, this can be a time to make a serious commitment and you could get into a very long relationship or even a marriage. You’ll be learning all about commitment and compromise. All relationships require compromises, but are you making too many? These will the issues that you will be addressing during this time.

8th House
This transit can trigger your addictions, compulsions and attachments. It’s a wonderful time for any kind of counselling or psychotherapy to help you release what is no longer serving you. It’s an opportunity to eliminate deep-seated habits that have been holding you back from being emotionally free.

You’ll find an inner strength during this period and if you are in a partnership you could take on more responsibility for the finances. It’s a time to learn how to depend on yourself and no one else.

9th House
You may go on a trip that is life-changing and that completely alters your perspective on life. It can bring lots of travel especially for work. International connections can be very lucrative.

Your beliefs will be tested. What do you believe in and why? What kind of future are you working towards? You’ll need to question everything and you’ll be seeking self-improvement. It’s a time to have realistic expectations and to be prepared to study and learn in order to reach your goals. It’s a great time to publish a book, film, or any kind of training or coaching materials.

10th House
This is the time to take a realistic look at what you feel you have achieved in your career / life. You could have a complete change of career or you may receive the fruits of your labour if you have been working hard towards a specific career goal. You could be promoted and asked to take on a leadership role.

It’s a good time to lay down the foundations for the future of your career. You’ll be re-evaluating your personal goals from a realistic viewpoint. Make sure you are not devoting all your time to your career and that you have enough balance in other life areas.

11th House
This is the house of friendships and often a time when friends may go out of your life. Friends who aren’t really friends will show their true colours during this transit. Saturn often brings endings so that you can make space for something new and better in your life.

You may meet someone and embark on a meaningful and long-lasting friendship.

It’s the perfect time for devoting time and energy to a cause or a charity that you believe in. You could be elected for office or take on the leadership of a club or association.

12th House
This transit will trigger deep contemplation about the spiritual and deeper meaning of your life. It’s important to face your fears, to rid yourself of outdated attachments and to be prepared for natural endings to occur. It’s likely to be an introspective time.

You could find yourself more attracted to your spiritual growth and to a more structured approach to this area of your life. It’s a great time to study yourself, for getting counselling or psychoanalysis.

It’s a great time to complete a project rather than to start something new. Try to tie up any loose ends so that when Saturn comes into your first house, you will be ready to start a whole new chapter in your life.

Taurus Full Moon – Greed or Gratitude?? Pay it Forward

On November 6th we have a Full Moon in Taurus at 14 degrees. 

During a Full Moon in Taurus, you can expect to see anything connected with money and relationships come to a head.
Think of a Full Moon as shining a light on any situation.

I have been talking about the forces of light and dark becoming more polarized. I am also seeing the speeding up of karmic actions. What may have taken lifetimes to show up is occurring much more quickly. With our global interconnectivity, we are getting to see the results of our actions in record time.

Here’s a couple of personal examples of the light forces and the dark forces.

One of my Taurean viewers (thank you!) alerted me to the fact that someone was uploading my videos onto their own channel and stealing my content. He’s been doing it with other astrologers I respect greatly and I was able to warn them about it. That’s the dark side: People thinking they are entitled to steal other people’s hard work and effort.

In my last newsletter I shared with you about the person who had used a stolen credit card for her reading and the reversal of my $95.00 fee by Paypal.

No sooner had I sent out my newsletter and published my video, I received the $95.00 as a gift from one of my clients. She said she didn’t want a reading from me, but because she felt as though I had helped her through the years, she wanted to support people who she feels bring more light and positivity to the world.

What an honour to receive such heartfelt gift. I was of course deeply touched by her very generous gesture. I love the way we can ‘Pay it Forward’ – when someone is generous, this ripples out and touches other people, who in turn also feel like being generous…..let’s use the energies of this abundant Full Moon in Taurus to share and to pay it forward.

I think we are going to see more and more of these polarities occurring.

Never before have I seen such stark opposites.

During the Full Moon in Taurus, this is the time for expressing deep gratitude for the abundance all around us. Even just a small gesture of support to someone else will be uplifting for you.

What can you do to help someone? It doesn’t have to be financial, although it can be.

Put your focus on the bounty of what we have. All too often people here in Greece are telling me how terrible it is here, how much the people are suffering, the economy etc…….and yet not appreciating the glorious sunset, the sea breeze, the plethora of different fruits and vegetables on the markets….that isn’t to say that things aren’t difficult for people, but it’s often in the way we look at things that colours our experiences and our world.

The more you appreciate everything that you do have in your life, then less you will feel as though you are deprived.

We are here to help one another. I feel so grateful to have so many kind viewers who write to me, I receive an abundance of emails telling me that my work is making a difference. I am deeply grateful for all of you and I do make it my business to answer each and every one of you personally.

Anything sneaky is going to come to light more quickly and equally anything positive and kind is also going to become public.

We have such an amazing opportunity with the internet to change our world for the better. Taurus is always concerned about security.
Can we afford it? Have we saved up for a rainy day?


That isn’t to say that that doesn’t have a place in our world.
But also, sharing the abundance – it’s no fun to have everything to yourself. It’s much more fun when you share.
Even when I buy fish, I love saving some for the stray cats and seeing them gulp it all down in a frenzy of delight.
What do you have that you no longer need, want or use?
What can you share or give to someone else?
What has inspired you?


There are so many wonderful things happening on our planet and still most of the media (controlled by the dark forces), only want to report the tragedies and the horrors in the world.

Let’s get the balance right. During this Taurus Full Moon, let’s make a point of connecting with one another in practical ways. The true wealth is the sharing of our talents, our abilities our gifts.
Let’s help one another and start spreading the Good News!

Pisces Full Moon – Trust Your Instincts

On September 8th / 9th, we have a beautiful, mystical Pisces Full Moon at 16 degrees.

Two weeks ago, we had a New Moon in Virgo which was all about getting down to business, ticking things off your list, and being practical and productive. Pisces is just the opposite.

This Full Moon in Pisces gives you the opportunity to take time out from your busy schedule and go inward.

There are times when the planets are pushing us out there, especially the Fire and Air signs, but Pisces is a Water sign. Allow things to come to you.

Some of the greatest inventions were achieved when inventors were daydreaming.  Einstein was reportedly dreaming that he was riding a sunbeam to the edge of the universe when he came upon his idea of the theory of relativity.

Isaac Newton was sitting in a field when he happened to notice an apple falling from a tree which led to his discovery of the laws of gravity.

Studies have shown that if you return to a task after taking a break you are much more likely to come up with a creative solution than if you keep on bashing away while getting more and more frustrated.

Think about the sign of Pisces: it’s two fish swimming in opposite directions.

Pisces hates to be pinned down. If you are in a relationship with a Pisces you will know that they don’t like to have firm commitments weeks ahead. They like to go with the flow. Something or someone very interesting may show up on the spur of the moment and if there are no fixed appointments, they are free to follow their instincts.

Pisces does feel the pain in this world so there is an urge to escape sometimes using drugs and alcohol. You can escape your everyday world in a constructive way. For example, lose yourself in a romantic movie, listen to soothing music that takes you into a different world.

Give yourself permission to do less, to take a nap, to relax, to access the answers from inside rather than looking outside yourself.

Good things to do during this Full Moon in Pisces:

  • Meditate and find the calm place within

  • Volunteer and help others

  • Get a massage or bodywork

  • Explore your intuition and your dreams

  • Visualise what you want for yourself and for the world

  • Do anything creative: dance, sing, paint, knit, sculpt…

  • Make a video, film or anything visual

Aquarius Full Moon is a Super Moon

On August 10th, we have a Super Full Moon in Aquarius at 18 degrees. It’s extra powerful because it is so close to the earth.

Aquarius is an interesting sign because it has two very different rulers:

Uranus and Saturn.     

Uranus looks to the future, comes up with new and off-the-wall ideas, and above all needs freedom. It’s impulsive and avant-garde.
 
Saturn, learns from the past, wants to structure the new ideas and make them real, which can feel limiting and constrictive. It’s careful and conservative. 

During this Full Moon in Aquarius, think about where the balance between these two energies lies in your life.

Are you too cautious and always playing it safe?
Are you too impulsive and ungrounded?
Are you giving up your dreams in order to please others?
This Full Moon in Aquarius will give you an opportunity to see which area needs to come into more balance.

It might be your relationships, your finances, your career, your family. Where do you need to break out from ‘normal’ expectations that are keeping you a prisoner? What can you do differently?

To quote Albert Einstein:

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.”

Since we are in the process of moving into the Age of Aquarius, this Full Moon could expose more of the polarities in our world. With one of Aquarius’ rulers Uranus, square to Pluto for at least another year, we are seeing more and more world unrest:

The war in the Middle East, airplanes disappearing, earthquakes, sinkholes appearing in the unlikeliest of places, riots, demonstrations……

People want freedom, and when they have been suppressed for too long, violence and eruptions ensue.

Whatever is going on in the outer world is in some way reflected inside of us.

Aquarius rules the internet which is all about connecting our world without boundaries and limitations. It wants us to be ONE WORLD, ONE PEOPLE, no more separation, no more wars, working together for the betterment of all. This is the true message of this Super Full Moon in Aquarius.

Jupiter Changes Sign and Full Moon in Capricorn

This is an exciting month with Jupiter, planet of good fortune changing sign on July 17th, and a Full Moon in Capricorn at 20 degrees on July 12th. 
This Full Moon in Capricorn is practical and productive. It’s a great time to get your life organized.

 

 

Good things to do:
  • Look at how you manage your TIME. Work smarter and not harder.
  • Examine your finances and look out for bargains.
  • Take responsibility for everything: your health, work, relationships.
  • Declutter – get rid of anything you no longer need or use.
  • Make survival preparations e.g. store canned and dried goods, water, first-aid kit, electricity back-up, copies of important documents.
  • Decide to do ONE thing at a time and complete it.
  • Face anything unpleasant that you have been avoiding.  

As it’s conjunct to Pluto, something deep may come up that you need to deal with. As it’s also square to Uranus you might feel nervous about taking a new step. 

 

Let me share a personal example:

Whenever something breaks down or goes wrong, my knee-jerk reaction has always been to ask someone to help me. I might try to sort it out myself for a short while, but then give up if it got too hard.  

 

Case in point: today the pilot light on my central heating boiler suddenly went out. There are several men in the house that I can usually call on who will come and sort it out. But nonetheless I got my ladder out and I did try for a few minutes to light it myself – to no avail. So off I went to find a man. No one was home except one who said he’d come by later on.   

 

After waiting over an hour, I got so impatient when he didn’t show up that I decided I would persevere with it until I got the blooming thing to work. So out came the ladder again and I pressed that button so many times until finally the pilot light came on!! Yeah!!~ I did it by myself and I felt so empowered.  

 

I realized that I gotten into the habit of giving up much too soon without forcing myself to go beyond my comfort zone.

 

Is there anywhere in your life where you are giving up too soon?

 

This Full Moon conjunct Pluto and square to Uranus wants you to pull something new out of the hat. Don’t allow fear to stop you. It’s quite amazing what we each have inside of us that is untapped. Now is the time to unearth it. We are stronger and more capable then each of us imagine.

Jupiter into Leo – How can you benefit?

Jupiter into Leo 2014-2015

 Jupiter, planet of good fortune, abundance and prosperity, goes into Leo on July 17th 2014 until August 12th 2015.

This is very favourable as it will be making a beneficial trine aspect with Uranus in Aries bringing sudden, unexpected events and surprises. This is especially highlighted during the months of September 2014 and March and June of 2015 when this trine becomes exact.

On a personal level, the Fire signs, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius will definitely have a boost this year. For Leos, especially, it will be a time of new beginnings, opportunities and growth. Check out your own chart because you may have some planets in Leo which will be activated by this transit.

Leo rules the heart, so this is the time to open up, and to feel the love inside of you and to share it with others. Think about Leo the lion: it’s regal, it’s very proud and it doesn’t grovel. It’s strong and self-assured.

Become aware of your posture: are you standing tall? Are you breathing deeply and holding your head up high? As soon as you improve your posture, you become more positive and your attitude changes. When you slouch and look downwards, this can lead to depression and negative thoughts. When in doubt, just visualise the lion in the jungle and you’ll regain your regal stance.

Leo is the natural actor of the zodiac and it loves drama and excitement. This is a great time to change your style of dress, to stand out in the way you present yourself, to wear bright, royal colours. Instead of always going out in jeans and a t-shirt, decide to put on something that makes you feel wealthy and confident. If you are going out on a special date or to a party, put your glad rags on and spice yourself up! You never know who you might meet!

This is a great time for manifesting whatever you want in your life. The key to new and exciting opportunities is triggered when you are feeling enthusiastic and inspired. Find your passion. What would make you get up in the morning with a spring in your step? I am very fortunate because I absolutely love astrology. In fact, when I wake up I am instantly thinking about my next video, article, newsletter, reading…. and it’s never boring because there’s always more to learn.

Maybe you have a new business idea you want to launch, maybe you have a hobby you really enjoy that you could turn into a career. There’s tons of free help out there: on the internet, companies and organisations who help you to set up your own business, grants and scholarships for study……this is the year to ignite your creative spark and to work in a field that gives you immense gratification.

On a global level, there are several industries that will be positively affected by this transit of Jupiter in Leo:

Games – the gaming industry.

Comedy – jokes will abound, new comedians and impersonators will appear

Entertainment – this is set to grow exponentially. If you are into acting, drama, music – this could be YOUR YEAR!

Entrepreneurs – we will see a huge growth in start-ups. If you’ve always wanted to start a business, this is the time to do it.

Romance and dating – this industry will blossom so if you’re looking to meet someone new or you’d like a business with great potential, it could be your lucky time.

Children – anything connected with babies, children, teenagers will see growth e.g. gadgets, toys, clothes, education.

Gold is ruled by Leo so it’s likely we’ll see a surge in its price. You might want to buy a small amount now while the price is relatively low.

There are countries having many planets in Leo. Most notable are: India, Pakistan and Iraq. We will be hearing more of these countries in the news during this year.

Keep in mind that Jupiter in Leo wants you to find your unique voice. When you shine, you draw to you all the good things in life. Follow your inspiration and your heart and be the STAR in your life.
