Zodiac Compatibility Chart

Admittedly, this is a rather simplistic way of looking at the 12 zodiac signs and how they are compatible with one another.  To get a more accurate picture, the whole birth chart should be taken into consideration when looking at compatibility (synastry).  However, I noticed that too much information can be rather overwhelming, especially for beginners.  Therefore, I put this chart together with the intention of looking at each sign individually.  Start with the personal planets of one chart (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars) and match it to the personal planets of another chart.  Then extend to the social planets (Jupiter, Saturn) and outer planets (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto).  Finally, angles (ASC/DSC, MC/IC) and nodes can also be included.

Excellent match = conjunction/trine

Both signs are in the same zodiac sign (conjunction) or in the same element (trine), giving them a sense of familiarity (conjunction) or harmony (trine).

Amicable match = sextile

Both signs are in the same polarity: masculine (fire & air) or feminine (earth & water).  There's an understanding between them, despite being slightly different.

Spark - square/opposition

The tension (square) and conflict (opposition) between them can bring a spark to transformation, or the spark up a flame of destruction.

Uphill journey - quincunx/semi-sextile

The inability to see eye-to-eye (quincunx) and to recognise one another's values (semi-sextile) can feel like a pebble in the shoe, bringing irritations with every step.  Transformation can be achieved via joint effort and sheer determination from both parties.

Full Moon in Leo 2025

  

Full Moon in Leo on 12th February 2025 at 13:53 GMT.

Mercury conjunct the Sun (Moon's ruler) under this full moon.  Therefore, Mercury is combust so our rational mind cannot function at its best.  During this emotionally heightened period, as our mental faculties is not at its strongest, so any ideas born under this time may have to deal with potential blind spots later on. 

Uranus, the planet of surprises and instability, activates this full moon axis via a dynamic square.  Changes may be inevitable and driven by emotions.  

Saturn is in a separating trine with the retrograding Mars.  it is not the perfect time to act, though it's rather tempting to do so.  Wait for Mars to go direct on 24th February and Mercury to be out of the Sun's rays before executing any long-term plans.

Apparently, trimming your locks under a full moon helps it to grow longer and thicker, especially that it's in the sign of Leo - think about the lion's mane!

New Moon in Aquarius 2025 - What to wish for?

A new moon heralds a new cycle, but the new moon in Aquarius on 29th January 2025 also marks another beginning - the Chinese lunar new year.  I still haven't quite worked out the esoteric meaning behind this annual coincidence.  

Astrologically, this is a great time to sow seeds of intentions.  Get your pen and paper out.  You can make up to 10 wishes from the start of the start of the new moon in Aquarius on Wednesday 29th January 2025 at the following times, depending on your time zone:

San Francisco, USA PST (UTC -8) 04:36

Montreal, Canada EST (UTC -5) 07:36

London, UK, GMT (UTC 0) 12:36

Hong Kong, AWST (UTC +8) 20:36

Sydney, Australia AEDT (UTC +11) 23:36

Aquarius is a sign of innovation and originality.  It's about being unique, revolutionary and humanitarian.  Aquarius is about how we, as individuals, can use our ingenuity for the greater good.

Aquarius is also about stepping out of your existing zone of comfort and take a leap of faith into the unknown.

Aquarius represents the ankles, calves, circulatory system and varicose veins.

To fully utilise this energy, align your personal wishes to these Aquarian concepts.

Here are some examples:

💰Money/💻Career:

'I easily attract a job which pays well and allows me to utilise my skills so I can contribute to the world.'

'Money flows to me smoothly, allowing me to have a decent living and be able to give back to the community.'

💓Love:

'I break free from the existing pattern, which hinders me from having a harmonious relationship with my partner.'

'I easily attract a partner with similar values, and together we create something of value to humanity.'

💪Health:

'I break free from bad habits (XXX) which stop me from having better health.

'I find a suitable way to solve my problem regarding my ankle/calves/circulatory system/varicose veins.'

As you can see, it's about phrasing your wishes to break free from your current situation, in order to usher in a new wave of energy into your life.  Think outside the box and step out of your comfort zone.  Be unique and do something you haven't done before.  And most importantly of all, once you are strong enough to provide for yourself, give back to the community.

According to Jan Spiller's New Moon Astrology, it is recommended to make your new moon wishes within the first 8 hours, as that is the most potent period.  The wishing period lasts 48 hours.  There is a concept of 'void of course moon', where matters being conducted under this time will be hard to succeed, so we tend to avoid that if this falls into our 48-hour time frame.  

For the current new moon in Aquarius, make your wishes under the following 2 time slots to maximise the benefit:

1) Wednesday 29th January 2025 20:36 to Thursday 30th January 2025 19:26

2) Friday 31st January 2025 06:53 to 20:36

(This is for Hong Kong, please adjust for your time zone.  Let me know if you need help with the conversion.)

During this new moon, we also have Mercury (planet of thoughts and communications) conjunct with Pluto (planet of transformations).  Take advantage of this chance to make wishes on removing addictive behaviours, releasing old patterns and transforming negative thoughts.  

Rise above the ashes as the Golden Phoenix and soar into the sky of possibilities.  We can each be a phoenix and make our own contribution to humanity.

Flowing with Moon in Gemini

The Moon is currently in Gemini and will remain for 2.5 days until 11th May.  

Gemini is an air sign, with a hot and wet temperament.  

When the Moon is in Gemini:

Be chatty but not gossipy

Be flexible but not unpredictably changeable, otherwise, people around you can't keep up!

Be communicative without having verbal diarrhoea

Over the next 2.5 days, the moon will form the following exact aspects with neighbouring planets:

• Trine Pluto at 2 degrees - watch out for deep and intense emotions surfacing, deal with them 'the Gemini way' with simply an acknowledgement ('I see you.  You are merely a part of my memory and has no power in my current life.') and feel if that is enough to let it go.  If not, then it's time to try other methods to make peace with your past.

• Sextile Mars at 6 degrees 45 mins - feeling enthusiastic in what you have to do, flow with it, get as much done as you can.  Being competitive (but not too much!) can help you achieve more than usual.

• Sextile North Node at 13 degrees 59 mins - feeling particularly receptive to the nature of how destiny works, how coincidental events occur, bringing a heightened level of awareness to your psyche.

• Square Saturn at 17 degrees 23 mins - negative emotions may envelope you, making you feel isolated and depressed, flow with it and see what hidden thoughts and feelings crop up, deal with it simply by acknowledging its existence and attempt to move on.  This is a great time to be aware of any unhealthy habits and relationships that need to be changed or ended.

• Sextile Chiron at 21 degrees 13 mins - a chance to work with some wounded feelings from the past

• Sextile Mercury at 24 degrees 21 mins - flow with this aspect by connecting with others through words, you can speak it, write it, or sing it!  The most important thing is you have fun while doing so.

• Square Neptune at 29 degrees 12 mins - flow with the confused nature of this aspect.  Perhaps feelings of emotional insecurity may come up.  Deal with it the Gemini way as before.  Gemini is highly rational and can be at war with the highly emotional nature of Neptune (modern ruler of Pisces).  Reason with whatever inner voice that crop up.  Use rationality.  'What is the probability of that happening?'  'Is that really the end of the world even if it does happen?'

We have accumulated so much emotional junk over the years.  Whenever they see a gap, they squeeze through to reunite with us on a conscious level.  Thank them for being with you all this time, but acknowledge that they no longer serve you in any way.  Let them go and make room for something else for joyous and positive.
