HERMETICAL TRIPTYCHA: THE MERCURY ELEMENTAL YEAR WITH EPHEMERIDES 1925–2050 GARY P CATON, RUBEDO PRESS In this first book of a planned three-part series, Gary P Caton moves astrologers away from superstitions about Mercury’s retrograde towards clear insight into the god of the hermetic arts of astrology and alchemy. His brilliant book starts with how the triplicate nature of Mercury’s 40-day retrograde cycle has a powerful impact on natal charts by element and house. Caton then gives readers a deep insight into Mercury’s cycles over months (its elemental journey), years (its elemental return) and 79 years (its exact return). He supports his findings with perhaps the most diverse range of celebrity examples in an astrology book.

sun sign predictions

Your Sun sign, also known as your “star sign”, represents the sign of the Zodiac the Sun was moving through at the time of your birth. As the main light source, the Sun provides heat, warmth and inspiration. The Sun is one of your most important planets and describes significant features of your personality. Your Sun sign shows how you light up life. It also defines the archetypal ways in which others see you. Via links to elements and modalities, your Sun sign provides insight to the inner workings of your personality. As it’s the most powerful of all stellar bodies, your Sun sign symbolises the underlying energy that fuels all you do.

aries 2019

Overview Your ruling planet, Mars, is on the move this year and will bless you with drive and motivation. You may power forward in many areas of your life or find your energy levels are improving. February 13, when Mars joins with Uranus at the end of Aries, may bring a breakthrough, exciting development or unexpected but welcome turn of events.

Whether you’ve loved this period or found it frustrating with so many changes, it’s sure to have…
