Over the next few hours, you're going to notice a few things changing around here. Feel Good Astrology is becoming '5 Minute Astrology'. Don't worry — I'm not disappearing, and neither is the 'Feel Good' approach to astrology. In fact, this is something I've been quietly working towards for a long time. I'm creating a much easier way for us to learn astrology by actually using it — five minutes at a time. Today you'll see: ✨ New branding appearing around the community ✨ A new START HERE — Get Ready area ✨ A printable 5MA Quick Map to keep beside your birth chart ✨ A collection of tiny videos showing you how to find your way around your chart ✨ And the beginnings of our new 5 Minute Astrology Living Classroom You absolutely do NOT need to know astrology to join in. If you're completely new, I'll show you where to start. If you already know astrology, you can jump straight in. And then from Monday, we begin properly. Our first week is MERCURY — and rather than simply learning about Mercury, we're going to follow what's actually happening in the sky and use it to investigate our own charts, minds and lives. So if things look as though they're moving around for the next few hours… they are. 😂 I'm putting up the sign and opening the doors. Welcome to 5 Minute Astrology. Let's see what we notice. 💗

It's so funny, because this week we've been talking about 'endings' and the void we go into when something naturally begins to fade and life calls us in a new direction. Saturday's Sun opposite North Node is really calling us all into this energy - What endings are coming up for you right now? Saturday 22nd August brings the Sun into opposition with the North Node — and into conjunction with the South Node — illuminating the roles, identities and ways of being that we already know like the back of our hand. There's comfort in being the person we've already learned how to be, but sometimes that very ease is the clue that we're ready for a new challenge, even if the next version of ourselves requires skills we haven't developed yet. With the Sagittarius Moon making beautiful aspects to Mercury, the Sun and North Node, Saturday encourages curiosity rather than fear: what else is possible, and who else might you become? As the Moon moves into practical Capricorn and trines Chiron, we're reminded that becoming someone new doesn't have to happen overnight — it can begin with grounded, tangible actions that support where we're heading. The past may feel easier simply because we've already mastered it; perhaps this weekend is about becoming willing to be a beginner again.

The North Node has now moved into Aquarius, beginning an 18-month journey that shifts our attention towards community, technology, systems, belonging and our collective future. In this episode, I explain what the North and South Nodes actually are, why they always work as a polarity, and what we're being asked to learn as the North Node moves through Aquarius and the South Node through Leo. We also look back at previous North Node in Aquarius cycles—from the beginnings of European cooperation and the rise of environmental movements to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the World Wide Web, social media and the financial crash—to see the remarkable themes that repeat. At the heart of this cycle lies a tension between the individual and the collective: Leo's distortion says "I'm special," while Aquarius' distortion says "our group is morally superior." With Jupiter meeting the South Node and Pluto eventually meeting the North Node, questions around power, belief, technology, authority and who gets to shape the future could become increasingly important. Perhaps the medicine of this entire cycle is learning how to create communities that honour individuals, and individuals who meaningfully contribute to their communities. Part 2 is coming tomorrow - with the All 12 sign forecasts!!! PPS - I will respond to messages real soon. It's been bonkers.

Venus enters her home sign of Libra today, inviting us into a month of greater harmony, balance and graceful relationships. As the Moon reaches its last quarter phase, we're encouraged to clear space physically, emotionally and mentally before next week's powerful Solar Eclipse in Leo. Today's astrology reminds us that preparation is part of manifestation, and that honest conversations can help us release what no longer belongs in our lives. This forecast explores how creating inner and outer spaciousness now may allow something truly beautiful to grow in the weeks ahead. I'm looking forward to clearing up my garden, more spring cleaning and also to go through my business plans and see what stays, what needs to be parked and get ready for a peaceful SE next week. Much love x

Chiron stations retrograde today, inviting us to pause, reflect and look honestly at the healing journey we've been on since 2018. Rather than asking us to relive old pain, this shift in Taurus encourages us to care for our bodies, nervous systems and sense of self-worth from a calmer, more grounded perspective. Alongside six lunar aspects that weave together empowerment, compassion and practical responsibility, today reminds us that healing isn't about changing the past—it's about discovering a gentler way to move forward. xxx
