I've been continuing to make 10 minute video blogs on astrology. I suggest you subscribe (for free) on youtube, and you will be notified when I publish a new one. For now, I'll just keep this blog for my written pieces.
You may be floundering, but destiny is also calling. There will be certain points during this night-sea journey when it is time for you to make decisions about who it is you are going to be, and what it is you are going to do. You may not think it is possible, that you've always been a certain kind of person, and who you would like to be is too much of a leap, too much of an ideal. But no. The new life is somewhere in the destruction, in the shambles of the old: the way has been cleared for the new life whose time has come.
Astrology has its roots thousands of years back when we were indigenous. When we knew we belonged to the earth and to the universe, and life was a matter of living in balance with that. Life is a series of cycles, and astrology understands this. By perceiving our individual destiny in the sky, it also understands that we are each intimately connected to the universe.
The rumours you see on the front of the Celeb mags about the marriage of the Prince and Princess of Wales have substance. Uranus is currently conjoining his Venus, while Neptune squares his Descendant.
Meanwhile Pluto is entering the sign of her Venus/Descendant at 7/9 Aquarius. Expect this to take a few years to work its way out. Neptune is due to square William's New Moon in Cancer in the coming 4 years, as Pluto becomes exact in Kate's chart, and we may see both his accession to the throne and the end of his marriage in that period.
William's chart, unlike Kate's, seems quite soulful to me, with his Neptune Rising and Cancerian nature. Who is William already drawn to that addresses that need? Kate's chart is harder - Sun in Capricorn, and Saturn hard-aspecting her Sun, Moon and MC. It doesn't get more ambitious than that. (This is not a criticism, just a description.) She would never sacrifice her position to desire. William, on the other hand, does not have that to lose.

It is a major and crucial transition, that we may only do gradually, and it can happen at any age. There is usually an intiatory fire of self-doubt to go through. You just have to do it anyway. Confidence and ease has to be earned. That is Saturn speaking, from his rulership of both Capricorn and Aquarius.
