Pluto in Capricorn Coming in to the start of 2024, a year which has for most of us, given us more changes and turbulence along the way than many of us ever expected, we now finally have Pluto in it’s last degrees of Capricorn. Along with Mercury Retrograde for good measure! Mercury went retrograde on Wednesday 13th December, just two weeks before Christmas. Mercury then went direct in the sign of Sagittarius on Monday 1st January, but the post shadow phase does not end until 20th January. It sure feels like this has been a longer retrograde phase than usual. We currently have Venus, Ceres and ..read more

Christmas reflections through the lens of Ceres
Martha Clarke Astrology Blog

Reflections… Coming up to Christmas this year, I was struck by how many articles I happened to come across which focused on how lonely a time Christmas is for so many people. With the build up time – which in Ireland is now almost two months – being ever extended, it’s no wonder. Not that many years ago, the build up lasted three weeks, which even then felt long. Maybe it’s because I have been engaging on Instagram more, who knows? Or that there are now lots of ads on Facebook about those in Ireland who are homeless. In the States, there was far less razzmataz and while living in Provincetown ..read more

Solstice Season

What are you reflecting on? We are indeed now in the depths of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and for many of us it has been an extremely challenging year. Yet, in these dark days despite the cold, rain, snow and damp weather, it is in fact a time of deep inner reflection. A time to stop the doing, to take a pause from endless scrolling on social media and doing Instagram reels with “hooks” to attract people to convert to working with us. Or endless commenting on Facebook with people we hardly know. More and more that seems to be the way people connect now. There is a lot to be said for bei ..read more

Thanksgiving – a time of grace and connection

Joyful heartfelt times! As I have written before, during my time in the USA, Thanksgiving was always my favourite time. A time where most people (well, when I lived in Provincetown anyway!), went from Thanksgiving to Christmas to the New Year, taking as many days off in between as they could get away with and doing as little work as possible. Joyful heartfelt times indeed! Whole families moving across the USA to reunite with their loved ones for those sacred few days. No fuss or palaver about presents, or trees or tinsel or Christmas decorations. It was all about showing gratitude for the fami ..read more

How my new Creative Relocation Package will lead to deeper transformation
Martha Clarke Astrology Blog

About my Creative Relocation Package… It has been so exciting to work on my forthcoming Creative Relocation Package, which will be launched on Friday 15th December. As I have explained in several recent social media posts, the reasons for moving to six session package are multiple. Earlier in the year I experimented with three session packages which worked quite well. However, I felt at the time I could not help clients access the deepest level of transformation I knew they could achieve if only I had more time with them. Which was exceedingly frustrating. The reasons are as follows – Since be ..read more

What is a relocated Solar Return Chart?
Martha Clarke Astrology Blog

What is a relocated Solar Return Chart? A relocated Solar Return chart is fascinating to generate. A natal Solar Return chart is when the Sun reverts to its natal exact degree of the moment you were born. But as the four other social planets move faster – Moon, Mercury Venus and Mars, they are frequently in a different sign than that of your natal chart. They will also usually be in a different house. A Solar Return chart is a beautiful addition to a current transit chart – as the current transiting planets will move through your houses during the upcoming year. But the solar return planets wi ..read more

How relocating immediately enhances your creativity

How relocating immediately enhances your creativity… By now you all know how passionate I am about relocating as a method of helping you live the life you were always meant to live. After three recent trips back to my beloved Italy, I am now more passionate than ever about this aspect of astrology. My first trip to Sardinia in late April was not particularly planned. It was more a case of – well Portugal is not going to work out the way I had planned, so there’s always Italy to go back to. I have a strong Moon line flowing right along the west coast of both Corsica and Sardinia. In A ..read more

Venus retrograde while sailing in Sardinia

The recent and deeply soulful Venus retrograde in Leo ended on 3rd September or maybe a day or two later, depending on where you are in the world. Venus had turned retrograde on 22nd June and what was notable about this period, which also coincided with Pluto going retrograde back into Capricorn on 12th June, was how many people checked out of planet Earth during these two retrograde cycles. No less than five friends of mine lost someone very close to them. Then we had the passing over of Tina Turner, Glenda Jackson, Michael Parkinson, Robbie Robertson of The Band, and most notably, the extrao ..read more

Eulogy to Sinead O’Connor

I heard the news of Sinead’s death via Facebook Messenger late morning of 27th July, from my Australian spiritual mentor, who has in recent years also become a good friend. I had been with my love the previous evening so the news had not filtered through to me. As a mother who lost her own daughter to suicide almost two years ago, just four short months before Sinead lost her own teenage son to suicide, I know all too well the relentless pain and heartache she went through after such a horrific tragedy. After a suicide, families and friends implode. On all sides. Even if the suicide has in som ..read more

Revisiting Lucca, a return to love during Venus Retrograde in Leo
Martha Clarke Astrology Blog

9M ago
After a lengthy break of over six years, I finally returned to my beloved Lucca on 6th August 2023, where I was met at Pisa airport by my two closest Lucchese friends. Much had changed in my old Lucchese life during lockdown, as several of my close American friends had returned to the USA, never to return to Italy, except for short visits back. Another very close close friend died of pancreatic cancer in Lucca in January 2021. As many of you know, my daughter Ruth Seavers’ death in September 2021 kept me bound in Ireland for over a year and a half while I handled her affairs. A lengthy process ..read more
