What I am going to do today, is look at How are the planets affecting Ireland on Election day,
So we are looking at the Birth chart Natal for Ireland for the 18 April 1949 @ 003 am. I will do my best to make a stand alone video for the election, but this interpretation will be far easier to follow if you have already listened to my breakdown of natal chart. I will put the link in the description bellow.
So there are some quite extraordinary and very Karmic energies flying around on the 29th,
So, to begin with a very brief bit of technical stuff. I have found many charts, dates which represent the birth chart of Ireland, I am using the chart for the Monday 18th April 1949 when the Irish state was officially declared by a 21 gun salute. This was meant to happen at Midnight, but was delayed by 3 and a half minutes. Because the crown surged forward, and broke through the barriers. So I use the time was a @ 004 am. It took me a while to realize the significance of this. This timing places Eris, the agent of chaos at the Ic, the very base of the chart, which signifies the roots of the country really works with that unruly crowd and also it’s history, because . Eris works her magic through disruption and rebellion.
Expect the last quarter of 2024 to be full of endings.
This is because the three outer planets, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are about to change signs. These guys govern huge generational cycles. It takes the between 10 to 30 yeas for them to traverse a sign.
And right now all three are steeped in the energetic of endings.
This is represented in astrology by the critical degrees, at the end of a sign. Here we experience the very worst that we may finally reveal, and resolve. At that point where we finally comprehend the lessons, this then becomes the magical degree, where we are able to turn things around to the new, and the positive. But first we must experience the cathartic ending of the old, that we may begin anew.
And right now this is happening in triplicate.
There will be drama.
But what I want to do today is explain the potential here.
Which truly is both enormous, and unpresented.
To paint a larger picture, never in recorded history has an event like these 3 big players changing sign within 2 years happened. (Credit to Steve Judd for that research).
The closest I can find is during the 1440’s when Pluto, and Saturn entered Leo, and Uranus into Cancer, and that resulted in Renaissance!
Additionally, the planets that are changing sign are Neptune, ruler of Pisces, and the Old Age, and Saturn & Uranus, the joint rulers of Aquarius, and the New Age
On top of that, both Neptune, and Saturn move from Pisces to Aries.
As they do so, they pass over Zero degrees Aries. This is an incredibly important point astrologically, placed at the very beginning, the Cardinal point of the zodiac, representing the ultimate
“Point of new beginnings”. For Humanity, and for the world.
Pluto, harmoniously shines his light onto each these 3 changing players. And together when we include one more point on the Zodiac, Zero degrees libra, they create an aspect called the Kite.
The Kite represents the highest, the most positive, most successful aspect in Astrology. The only thing being, very like the actual Kite, they can traditionally be a bit challenging to get off the ground. So we may collectively need a bit of practice at this, But don’t worry, this aspect goes on at varying degrees of intensity until late 29, early 30’s.
With the two eclipses representing Karmic trigger points which will help to lift humanity into this new beginning.
The energetic of the trigger point at the base of the kite @ zero degrees Libra is fascinating.
This represents the energetic, of Law balance, justice, and harmony between the sexes.
The value we give to our vital relationships, which can only work if based on honesty, trust, integrity. This is part of that rebalancing process and is key to the lifting of this Kite.
Now what is so incredible and beautiful about this point, is that it is activated, not only by the Moon every Month, the Sun, mercury, Venus every year, but the whole energetic is kick started on the 17-18th of this month by the first of two eclipses on this point.
Eclipses always represent sudden, dramatic, Karmic change, or choice points. And as you may observe, the stakes are big, and the rewards huge.
Key to all of this is our levels of consciousness, and knowledge. Whilst it may seem that things are spinning out of control on the 3 D level, The Full Moon conjunct Neptune will highlight either the chaos or our ability to step onto a higher level of consciousness. With the Sun sitting on the tail of the Kite, opposite the Moon, informing us that it is our inner security. Our self love and trust, our inner balance and security that are key to lifting the kite. This is our first big opportunity. Our first big shift.
The outer planets here represent our collective deep need for transformation of the bigger cycles that govern our world. Pluto’s move from Capricorn to Aquarius indicate the Ballance of power will shift, from large corporations, and governments, and into the hands of the people, uncovering hidden science and technologies, and releasing them to the public . Uranus’ move into Gemini will spark a plethora of research into these possibilities, illuminating so many more healing solutions for ourselves and the world, not least in terms of alternative power solutions, as they bounce off each other in harmonious trine .
Neptunes and Saturns move across the World access holds a few more challenges, with the potential for the complete disarticulation of the old structures causing chaos. Unfortunately this letting go of old securities is also part of this transition. Vital here to remember and consciously link into higher Neptune, and employ those inner technologies, those new emotional/spiritual understandings that Neptunes passage through Pisces has revealed to us, .
It is this work this inner spiritual connection with our inner divine light that holds our key to success with Neptune at the top of the kite.
Saturn’s passage through Pisces, after Neptune, has asked to ground our spiritual connection into practical everyday uses. Meditation, Synchronicities, being in the flow, these has bought these previously intangible things into our everyday lives. And it is this combination that we are required to employ to truly begin again as humanity, and lift this kite, and ourselves into the whole new beginning we truly desire for the world.
With Neptune and Saturn conjunct the eclipse, at such a critical degree, on the 17th, initially there could easilly be a heightened sense of loss and confusion, which pushes us into our own resources, The Sun at the base of the kite in Virgo. However as a North Node Eclipse it also brings in and opens karmic doors. Our spiritual senses are blown wide open. New levels of comprehension dawn, as much is revealed by the light of this Full moon eclipse.
Whilst there are many other key trigger moments, when the nodes go over that point, etc etc,
But today I want to focus on the two eclipses, on this point because we are about to experience the first, and because they represent key Karmic turning points.
The way this works is, when we have a full moon eclipse on one point in Zodiac, roughly a year later, we gat an opposing new moon eclipse on the opposite point. Roughly speaking the north node eclipse will bring something in and the South Node eclipse will release the old. Although these two eclipses that we are going through now work slightly differently.
The opposing New Moon eclipse, on September 21st 2025 is at that critical 29º of Virgo. Again forming the Kite, and is equally if not more illuminating, containing the absolutely exceptional exceptional energy of three Yods.,
Now one yod at the time of an eclipse is exceptional, but three, incredible.
Now the Yod is called the finger of God, because it points specifically at one planet which is destined to change. If I was to give the overall energetic of this, eclipse it would be sudden unexpected Karmic turn arounds, and new beginnings challenged by old power.
I’m not going to get too much into this today, but suffice to explain. Because it is something that can help to inform our intentions, and our way forward through this potentially rocky transition between these eclipses.
The three yods, so therefore the energetics we must endeavour to work on to lift the kite are both fascinating and informative
Two of the Yods are to inner planets Mars our drive and Venus what we value. Those representations of the natural order Male and Female.
And if we go back to the base of the Kite that trigger point at the very start of Libra. It is all about rebalancing the divine masculine and the divine feminine. This is not so much a gender issue as an inner balance. A workable harmony that is required to be found.
With the other Yod to Neptune, at the top of the kite Our vital inner connection with the divine requires transition to a whole new level, have we done the work, or will we be left in the chaos of lower Neptune.
This is the choice To do the inner work, of connection, with ourselves with others, in conscious awareness of the divine nature of all
It is this combination that will lift the Kite that allows Humanity to truly begin again.
To lift this kite, and ourselves into the whole new beginning we truly desire for the world.
Often enough, being an astrologer is a bit like being a Dr., in that Clients come to you when there is a problem. And so so many of my present clients are suffering from issues around the 29º critical degree placements in their charts.
The critical degrees cover from 28º to Zero degrees of all signs, and are points where, having assimilated and assessed the experience of that energetic, we then go through the very worst of that sign, in order that we may most definitely, finally and completely learn those lessons.
That is the bad news.
The good news is that this is also the Magical degree,
where, because of that challenge, we deeply and most completely get it. We are then able to move on with that wisdom and understanding, all issues fully resolved, into that Magical new beginning.
And so it is with us all in the now.
We have at present, (and I am writing in early August 2024) two major heavenly players, Neptune and Pluto in the absolutely critical, absolutely magical 29º to zero points.
These outer planets move slowly slowly, describing the deep underlying energetic of our world.
It takes Pluto can take up between 12 – 32 years to travel through a sign. His job as he does so is to uncover the hidden underworld, the deep shit that has been going on, and expose it to the light to be cleansed.
Pluto, as lord of the underworld is all about power and control, bringing unconscious patterns into awareness so that we may see the truth and so restore our own internal power and authority.
HIs passage through Capricorn began in 2008 with the drama of the banking crash. Pluto does like to make the headlines as he enters a sign! Since then he has been working his way through Capricorn, the sign of how we structure our world. Capricorn represents big organisations such as governments, religious institutions, and corporations. I think we can all agree, he’s been doing a pretty through expose there!
And, this year, on January the 22nd, he moved on, into Aquarius…. Whoo Whoo!!!!
The sign of the New age the sign, of revolution, and of People power, absolutely simultaneously to uprising of the European farmers, ‘No farmers, No food’ movement.
Lord Pluto does enjoy a dramatic entrance!!!
However, having got to 2 degrees Aquarius, he turned around, and is heading back for a last blast of 29º Capricorn, a last blast of power and control dynamics coming from above, before we finally collectively break through, and see, comprehend, and are ready to transform the very worst of the Capricorn big business overreach,
And only then, finally, we are ready and equipped to shift… into that magical moment of transformation.
We have seen how the world is structured, from highest to lowest, and so now, having dug up, seen, and examined throughly all the shite, we truly comprehend what has been happening, and with our newly acquired, hard won wisdom, we now understand what to do in order to restructure our world in the way in which we would actually prefer.
I almost want to refer to Neptune as his partner in crime. Sitting there stationary in his home sign of Pisces at the 29º point from May to September 24, asking us to experience the worst of Pisces expansion. Slight of hand. Loss of faith. Fog and confusion, living in a Hollwood movie set of illusion and delusion. Too much of everything Pisces, This is the fog of Neptune at 29º Pisces.
However we must remember, this is equally the magical point of transformation, where we are taken to the extreme in order to resolve.
Neptune has been traveling through his home sign of Pisces since 2012, opening the doors of our spiritual perception. During that time, a whole new world of spiritual practice and perception has emerged, merging happily with the new age quantum sciences. Meditation has now become a commonly used tool, and is even taught within business environments, due to the recognition that a calm mind improves overall efficiency.
Alongside this recognition of our inner states, has been a growing recognition of the importance of the awareness of our inner emotional states, those deep, underlying tides of emotion so ruled by Neptune in Pisces.
And this is so much of what we are all experiencing right now. That 29 degree, underlying feeling that much about the way our world is structured is in in absolute shite, and needs immediate and urgent transformation (Pluto @29º Capricorn), and that equally, our inner inner tides, our connection to the divine oneness both within and without (Neptune @29º ‚Pisces) is equally at this critical point of transformation, with this knollege weighing on us from a deep underlying and fundamental place.
And this is particularly and especially true for those at 29º of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, and Libra.
Very much present and fundamental to anyone with any 29º placement, and equally there for all of us alive right now.
Just one of the super, wonderful, and amazing things about astrology is this. That it gifts us firstly the knowledge and certainty that things will move on, and also a time scale.
And, wonderfully, there is something kinda amazing about to happen to humanity in 2025, when both these big players move on into the zero degrees of their new signs. Pluto, finally landing in fully and decisively into Aquarius, shifting the power from the old traditional way, Capricorn, and into the hands of the people, Aquarius.
And Neptune moving from Pisces and into Aries on the 31st of March.
This is a massively important transition because as he makes this move, he will pass over ‘Zero degrees Aries’, or ‘The world access’.
This point astrologically is the very beginning, the absolute Cardinal point of the zodiac, representing the ultimate “Place of new beginnings”, and what choices we make at this time will be of course, ‘critical’, knowledge as always being key
However surface to know that, from now, until the end of the year, we are sitting in this critical 29 degree placement. Where we can either be feeling stuck in the shite of other’s creation, or, we can be busy creating our own magic.
In Capricorn terms, this is the moment to establish your own critical infrastructure, whether this is clean water and food, or like minded community. Critical restructuring of physical world is what is happening now. Attend to it well and it will hold you in the future.
And equally in Neptunian terms, we are establishing our inner infrastructures, our connection to the divine. Our newly discovered inner tools now support us. Which definitely includes a finely tuned inner ‘bullshit detector’. We now intuitively know what is right from within.
And this is the magic of the now.
The opportunity to establish your own infrastructure the inner and outer support systems that will take you through the critical new beginnings of 2025.
What I would like to address, what fascinates me as an astrologer heading into the new age of Aquarius, is the new potential I see emerging in every birth chart once we include both the Asteroid Goddesses, and, what we refer to as the Kuiper belt objects, or what are collectively becoming known as, “The quantum planets”.
Pretty much every time I include these so called Asteroids, and please bear in mind, the Asteroid Goddesses were up there with the gods in the original astrology. They, in parallel to women’s true role in society have been first, demoted, and then, so repressed that they have been forgotten; so, 90% of the time, when I include these ‘new’ elements, in a chart reading, I see a Grand trine, a new potential of harmony and peace emerge within the chart.
What this is saying quite clearly, is that when we include both the sacred feminine, and the new quantum planets in the equation, there is very clearly, a completely new level of harmony, and potential available to us, on a level, both collectively and individually that we have never accessed before.
So lets pick that apart, beginning with the demotion, repression, and then loss of the sacred feminine.
When the Matriarchy was in ascendance, many sacred aspects of the feminine were acknowledged and worshiped. Vesta, Goddess of the hearth fire and sexual power, Pallas Athene, the wise warrior queen, and Ceres, the Great mother, to name but a few.
But, as woman became subjugated to man, so, equally each of the Goddess energies were demoted. Vesta, denied her sexuality, and became the nun, Pallas became the woman in a mans world, the eternal tomboy, and Ceres was reduced to the woman in the home cooking cleaning and caring for others.
At the turning of the ages, we experience a time of clearing, and remembering like no other..
A concluding of old Karmic patterns that we have been working of for two thousand years, and a remembering.
A remembering of who we truly are; and a huge part of that work right now, is the rediscovering, the uncovering of the true role of the sacred feminine.
When a new planet is discovered and comes into our orbit, this indicates humanity is ready to assimilate that new learning.
Since 2005, we have the discovery of numerous asteroids out beyond Neptune, some of which we are familiar with, and many more that we aren’t. With the discovery of these asteroids, in true Aquarian style we are being bombarded with new potential, and new possibilities.
And fascinatingly, as well as being dubbed the quantum plants, (because this is the level on which they manifest), they are all being named after ancient tribal Gods and Goddesses.
Therefore describing the two ways that these energetics work.
Firstly, these are quantum planets.
They work through understanding and manipulation of consciousness.
And, secondly, that this is old knowledge that was available to our ancestors that has been lost through time.
Key to all of this, is how do we get there?
And Chiron, as always, is the key.
His symbol is shaped like a key. He was one of the first asteroids to be discovered in the 70’s
Chiron represents the area where we are wounded, and in need of healing. He has a fascinating orbit. It’s not a circular, but elliptical. Practically, that means that he travels between Saturn, the planet that represents how we believe our world is structured, and Uranus, the great awakener, and Lord of the new age.
His orbit brings in new information to help us heal, evolve and restructure our world with the higher understanding of Uranus.
To quote Melanie Kline, the first astrologer to recognise and name Chiron’s potential,
“Suffering is present in everyones life, but relating with wisdom and compassion to our own experience turns ‘poison into medicine’. Thus we develop awareness which both accompanies and also initiates new stages of our spiritual journey”
So, Chiron opens the door to the inner healing that allows us to pass previous barriers, transforming our personal subjective view into a comprehension of a larger potential for humanity and for ourselves.
The Kuiper belt objects and the new understanding they bring invite in a whole new Uranian/quantum way of living and manifesting which may well exceed our wildest ‘Old age” dreams. Haumia, for example has a magic stick from the Makalei tree that enables her to magically conjure up food. She also has the power of eternal youth, with each birth she was destroyed and reborn. These are a but few of the new energetics with which we are working with in the now.
What excites me as an astrologer is observing the incredible new levels of manifestation and harmony that exist for each of us individually, and collectively as step together into this new age of potential.
What I would really like to talk about Astrologically, is the series of opportunities being presented to us over the coming month, month and a half with a stellium of planets passing over the earths axis point at, Zero degree Aries, the very beginning, the Cardinal point of the zodiac.
To a certain extent this happens every year, as the personal planets go through Aries, but this year, as well as Mars joining the annual party, we have Pluto, the planet of power and regeneration at the beginning of Aquarius, in happy sextile to this point.
This is both the “I Am”, and the “new beginning” point of the zodiac. The sextile to Pluto brings a deeply powerful new energetic opportunity to this point. Pluto in sextile, invites and incites, but does not force. The sextile is the aspect of opportunity, and choice The ingredients are on the counter, but will we choose to bake the cake. Knowledge, as always is the key.
Pluto invites us to dig deep and renew. This opportunity is huge, Nothing less than in-depth personal, and if enough of us go there, collective transformation, regeneration The ability to understand and step into our own power.
This is all about Aries, the leader, the warrior energetic, who I am and who I choose to be.
Also present in Aries, are Eris, the female warrior, and Chiron, the wounded healer, and the North node, our point of destiny. There is a powerful choice to be made around the Karma of humanity, the medical system, Warriors, and leaders.
We also have two eclipses, and a mercury retrograde, all in Aries, all over the coming month and a half, as well as the Jupiter Uranus conjunction in Taurus. Whoo Hoo!
What a major transformational ride!!!
As all the personal planes passing over the Aries cardinal point in succession, they create a new beginning for each of us every spring,.
This is the place in the zodiac where everything begins anew,
The inner planets are named the personal planets because they represent just that, our inner world. The Sun represents our soul energy, what fires us up, the Moon, our feelings, Mercury, how we think, travel, communicate, Venus how we love, our self worth, and Mars, our sexuality, what drives us.
As each one passes over the Cardinal point, they touched by the magic of Pluto.
This gives us the opportunity to personally, on an inner level, dig deep, and face what is truly going on.
Pluto’s passage into Aquarius is transforming our understanding, of science, of who we are, and what our place is in the universe. And it is these deep and powerful realizations that we are assessing and assimilating.
Pluto, as lord of the underworld, takes us to the depths, to see the truth there may be pain, or even even trauma to deal with, This is a collective choice point, we can choose to collectively stand up and become a new warrior for peace, or, we can ignore the situation, sweep this under the carpet, and endure the resulting chaos. The choice, more than ever now is ours.
Past Pluto and into the new age.
As the new age begins, one of the many fascinating things that is happening is that we are discovering more and more planets beyond Pluto. These are often referred to collectively as the kyper belt objects, or the quantum planets. These are energetic opportunities that come along when we are ready for them. We literally cannot see a planet until we are ready for it’s nature it’s energetic, to be assimilated within humanity.
When we discovered Pluto, we simultaneously discovered, through the work of Freud and Jung, that we have a thing called an unconscious, which we are all now aware of has the potential to control from bellow without conscious awareness.
In order to access the new quantum energetic, we must each first negotiate our own inner Pluto.
This represents the necessity to move consciously beyond our unconscious conditioning. As long as we remain in a state of unconscious, unrecognized trauma, on the quantum level, this is what we will recreate. However, when we are conscious of our deep inner workings, we are able to control these lower emotions and choose what and how we magnetize.
With Pluto in Sextile to the Cardinal point we are being gifted the opportunity to Choose.
To Step beyond the confines of the unconscious, to utilize our God given power of choice to move beyond Pluto beyond our unconscious fears, and to truly assimilate and truly step into the realms of the quantum.
All of which means that by the beginning of May, we will all be looking at the world from a very different perspective.
For me these are key features of astrology which can help in a very practical, every day way.
When we are going through a rough patch, or in the doldrums, nothing helps more than knowing the timing. Nothing lasts forever, and this particular energetic will end by this date. Meanwhile, astrology can point us towards the positive opportunities of this time.
That is one of the many the super fab things about astrology.
Every transit, every moment contains both a higher and a lower energetic.
When we are aware of the positive potential, we can use the power of our intention, the power of choice to step into our highest self, and achieve our greatest potential.

Mars Conjunct Pluto is always a slightly dodgy one, bringing with it the combination of martial aggression, and the depths of hell . As they conjoin at the start of Aquarius, they will bring a powerful energetic drive to all that must be transformed.
Pluto’s entrance into Aquarius on the 22nd of January this year has heralded an explosion of rebellion across Europe, with the farmers, truckers, and ordinary people standing up and saying No to the globalist agenda.
The darker aspects of Capricorn were revealed as Pluto passed over the final 29 degree point of that sign.
This placement is called the aneretic degree, and always reveals the worst of that sign for us to transform. The ongoing revelations of corruption, abuses of power, and hidden agendas are the result of Pluto’s deep dive into this placement.
As Mars passes over this point, he brings a drive and energy to the situation. Likely, as he passes through the last degrees of Capricorn, he will bring his aggression to “ The Power’s that be” in the form of government clampdowns, and even martial action against any perceived insurrection. However, as Mars moves on into Aquarius on Feb the 13th,, the power and drive will shift from old power structures into the into the hands of the people.
