For those of you who have been following my blog you will be aware of my interest in the planetary creations of renowned British artist, Luke Jerram. Thus my recent visit to Manchester's amazing Victoria Baths to experience 'Helios' completed the quartet of planets which he has transformed into 7 metre* illuminated works of art. The other three being Gaia (Earth), Museum of the Moon and Mars - there are several versions of each touring the world. It is fitting that Helios should be on display in what was a public baths as in True Sky astrology** the sun is in the water sign of Pisces, the fish for the duration of the exhibition. Helios is on display at Victoria Baths until April 6 (Easter Monday) whilst another one will be on display at Birmingham Exchange until November 7. * Helios is 5 metres in diameter and comprises 400,000 images supplied by NASA. ** Gelageo is an approved participant in the True Sky Distributors Program

The future of our world isn't looking particularly bright right now as those who control it are desperate not to relinquish it and are employing many measures to divide and distract us. Unfortunately many remain oblivious to the agenda at play even though more of it is being exposed on a daily basis. Whilst both western and eastern astrologers are both suggesting that the next year or so will be a transitional one in many ways the key message in this post is to not get caught in the negativity (fear/lower vibration) but to remain positive (love/higher vibration) at all times for the sake of our children and all future generations. This post was inspired by an article published recently under the headline 'the power to say NO'

Those who follow my writing will be aware that last year I went to view Luke Jerram's 'Mars' installation at Bolton Library so it will be no surprise that yesterday I undertook a seven hour return rail journey to visit the wonderful Blyth Festival of Energy where for the first time two of his works (Gaia and Museum of the Moon) were on display side by side in the turbine hall of Catapult's off-shore wind testing facility - accompanied by soundtracks and atmospheric lighting it was a wonderful experience. (I shall be completing my ambition of seeing his fourth work - Helios - later this month when it goes on display at Manchester's Victoria Baths.) The Blyth event was organised by Walk the Plank who pulled out all the stops and have provided visitors with a full four days of entertainment which includes the 'Bubbles of Love' sculpture (pictured below), 'Whale Song' and culminating with a 'Tower of Light' on Sunday, March 8 - details of both on the website.

At lunchtime today much of the world witnessed a total lunar eclipse and the screenshot shows the phase just prior to totality courtesy of a livestream from Italy which connected with other astronomers around the globe. The next TOTAL lunar eclipse will occur on New Year's Eve in 2028 which will be partially visible from the UK. Three days ago we had a line up of six planets in Aquarius/Pisces - Vesta, an asteroid, doesn't count but compensates for the fact that this image doesn't show Neptune which is shielded by Saturn following the recent conjunction. The recent attack on Iran preceding the eclipse is interesting in that Netanyahu, Trump and Ayatollah Komeini were all born on the same day as an eclipse. Netanyahu and Trump were also born with Mars conjunct Regulus which translates as they are both warmongers. The website overhaul is now in progress with an imminent surprise in store.

It's three weeks since my last post largely due to the fact that I was preparing for a ninety minute presentation on the past, present and future of astrology which took place almost a week ago. (The image above is from a slide used in the powerpoint presentation) I have purposely not commented on the Aquarius new moon, 'ring of fire' annular solar eclipse and the Chinese new year of the fire horse which both occured on February 17 but felt it would be remiss of me not to mention the astrological event of the year three days later which has seen social media flooded with articles on the significance of this conjunction which has a synodic cycle* of around 36 years. Rather than dissect the difference between the Western tropical approach and the Eastern sidereal approach I will simply ask you to take the links embedded in each to two articles chosen at random from the many hundreds nay thousands that populate the web. As you may be aware by now my approach is prioritise astronomical ast

I had every intention of writing a detailed explanation of tonight's (19:52 UT) second new moon in Sagittarius which is in a stellium with Mars and Mercury whilst Venus has just moved into Capricorn and will be conjuncting Pluto in the early hours of Tuesday morning. However I have not managed to focus myself as I am currently feeling overwhelmed with the amount of data that is reaching me and thus have no wish to confuse the readers of the blog with contradictory information based on the astrological approach employed. Suffice it to say that if you look up into the night sky then the sun and moon, Mercury and Mars will all be at the very end of the constellation of Sagitarrius, symbolised by 'the archer' which, in astrology, is ruled by the planet Jupiter currently placed in opposition in Gemini. (This morning I had the image of the Greek gods ruling each of the planets in Sagittarius firing arrows at Zeus, the king of gods and another name for Jupiter, who is at 'home' with his two i
