Louise Kerby Traditional Astrologer

Louise Kerby Traditional Astrologer Astrology is a predictive tool. The birth chart is drawn using the date, time and place of birth. The chart shows the life path. Timing is everything.

Predictive techniques are used to determine important themes. www.louise.kerby.co.za I completed a B Comm. degree at UCT (1984 to 1987) majoring in Accounting and Economics. Thereafter I worked in the Advertising and Media industries in Johannesburg and Cape Town, ending my media and marketing career at Independent Newspapers in Cape Town as the Marketing Manager. I changed direction and chose to

study again in order to pursue a career in astrology. I graduated from Rod Suskin’s School of Astrology in 2007 completing the Diploma in Astrology with distinction. Rod Suskin is South Africa’s most well known astrologer. His course is internationally recognized as an outstanding and complete training for professional astrologers. I loved studying astrology as a mature student and continue to do so. I gained huge insight into my own life and have developed a tremendous sense of acceptance with regards certain aspects of my life that were challenging at a point in time. Life presents us with challenges at certain times and it is very empowering to understand the process at play within the confines of the karma of the chart. I am now a practising astrologer. I analyse charts according to traditional astrological techniques but make sure that I communicate the information to my clients in layman’s terms.

Chiron is about to move into Ta**us on 19 June 2026. It will stay in Ta**us until 18 Sep 2026 and then move back into Aries for a few months before moving fully into Ta**us on 14 April 2027 until it eventually leaves in 2034.

Chiron was discovered in 1977. It travels between Saturn and Uranus and was first thought to be an asteroid and then appeared more comet like with a tail. It is seen as half man/half horse. It’s full cycle is just more than 50 years. The myth describes how Chiron was wounded by a poisoned arrow and because of his immortal state he did not die but couldn’t heal himself despite his extraordinary healing abilities.

Chiron now moves into Ta**us – a fixed earth sign. This is the slow and steady part of the zodiac. It is associated with self-worth and resources and what sustains us - nature and agriculture/food production. Venus rules Ta**us and speaks about what we love and value. It is very much associated with our value system – what is important to us?

Chiron shows us what needs to be healed as a collective at this time. We are being asked to heal our relationship with money and the material world. It shows insecurities associated with resources and self-worth. It certainly seems to ask us to heal our relationship with nature and this planet that supports us. It perhaps also asks us to slow down and appreciate the natural world around us – all living beings – plants and animals and the complexity of the natural world. We seem to have lost our connection to the natural world and yet we know nature heals.

Scientists have confirmed a powerful El-Nino has begun which will likely contribute to extreme weather events of flooding and droughts across the world. This could certainly disrupt food production not to mention the issues in the Middle East connected to the trade of oil and fertiliser.

Chiron was last in Ta**us between 1976 and 1984. This was certainly a volatile period in South Africa’s history and one that happened 50 years ago and started a process to dismantle Apartheid. Sanctions internationally and boycotts locally in the 1980’s made South Africa isolated and just about bankrupt. This process forced South Africa to change direction especially as communism collapsed in 1989. South Africa seems broken currently – lack of service delivery and government accountability have left many ordinary people without work and food.

How will you use this time to heal?

Will peace hold in the Middle East? And what about the war in Ukraine?

Things are still very uncertain. This is an out of bounds Moon - more volatile than usual in an air sign of Gemini. Which way - this or that? There is a lot of planetary pressure building into July. At end of June Mars moves into Gemini and will connect with Uranus on 4 July. This is a particularly volatile signature and certainly doesn’t speak about peace. Mars will be approaching the USA Uranus at 8 Gemini in 7th house of known enemies. Uranus remains square Nodes. Mercury is about to travel retrograde from 29 June to 23 July. Neptune will retrograde on 7 July. Is the dream attainable? What happens to oil trade and war on drugs? Jupiter will oppose Pluto on 20 July - a massive show of force? For good or evil? What about exploding debts? Saturn will retrograde on 26 July. What are the long term consequences of our actions or lack thereof?
Neptune will sextile Uranus on 15 July and will also sextile Pluto on 25 July. This is an incredibly powerful time for humanity. Can we find our way to a path of peace? What does the new world order look like? What about the impact of climate change? There are so many issues at stake. This dance with Neptune, Uranus and Pluto will unfold over the years until early 2030’s. The changes are likely to be significant. We will all be impacted no matter where we live. This is a fundamental shift.

Uranus and Pluto were conjunct in 1965 and 1966. This started a big new astrological cycle with big social shifts. In the US, it was connected to the Vietnam War, Civil Rights Movements, Hippie culture and NASA lunar orbit missions. The contraceptive pill was developed in the 1960’s giving women more control over their bodies and life choices.

Uranus is the agitator, the planet associated with freedom and independence, innovation and technology. It is connected to electricity. It’s nature is unpredictable and unstable.

Pluto is associated with the underworld. What is dark and secret? Pluto travels unseen and forces us to discard what is no longer beneficial and supportive in our lives. It starts a process of purging and decay. This is often messy and yet it is what is discarded that comes to nourish us once it’s been through a process of shedding and discarding to create the compost for future growth. It is this death and rebirth cycle which is so important in the process of life on earth.

These two planets speak about a process of creative destruction. What needs to be discarded and what emerges? It sets about big social adjustments that are unstoppable. Once they have momentum things change regardless.

Between 1995 and 1997 Uranus was sextile Pluto. This was an interesting time for South Africa as we embarked on our democratic journey post 1994. We had much hope and anticipation of better things to come for our collective. But it was also associated with the Bosnian War and Yugoslavian wars and the world trying to make sense of the Rwandan Genocide in 1994 - wars associated with ethnic cleansing.

Between 2012 to 2015 Uranus was square Pluto. This was a very difficult time economically and became known as the Great Recession across the globe. Conflict seems ongoing in the Middle East and in Central and North Africa.

Now Uranus will trine Pluto between July 2026 and May 2028. These planets are exact in

Jul/Nov 2026
June 2027
Jan/May 2028

We are witnessing a time of profound change and this process of creative destruction has a momentum of its own. Uranus is now in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius. The innovation and disruption will be felt in areas of life associated with knowledge, information, trade, ideas and transport. Driverless cars are no longer far fetched. The nature of war has shifted enormously. Drones and missiles dominate the skies. This has made it difficult for traditionally strong nations and armies to propel smaller, more nuggety opposition. The wars in Ukraine/Russia and Iran/Middle East have both demonstrated how significantly the dynamics of war have changed.

Pluto in Aquarius is a reminder to leaders who are disconnected from the needs of ordinary people to watch out. When Pluto was last in Aquarius it was the time of the French Revolution and the American War of Independence. But as always there is a dark side and we need to be mindful of how big tech and big data can control the lives of ordinary people. It is very much a time of power to the people, but ordinary people need to step up and start creating the societies they wish to be part of in the future.

We had a Saturn Neptune conjunction on 20 Feb 2026 at 0 Aries – the World Axis. This was the start of a new 36 year cycle which also had a profound impact on the world. This cycle is always connected to major changes in Russia. When it last happened in 1989 we watched the fall of communism and the collapse of the Berlin Wall. It was also connected with the 1953 Iranian coup which was instigated by the UK and US and allowed Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran to rule more firmly as a monarch. Saturn and Neptune were conjunct in 1952 and 1953 and connected to the dissolution of certain structures and land boundaries.

What is going to unfold over the next few years will be Neptune making aspects to both Uranus and Pluto. These are the 3 outer planets all in a tight configuration exerting more pressure for change.

Looking at these exact dates we need to see what unfolds this year between June/July and Sep 2026.

Change is inevitable. The speed of change is also likely to be significant as air and fire elements dominate. Buckle up – we are in for exciting, turbulent times. We also need to consider climate matters. There is a strong likelihood that we are about to experience a Super El Nino with the warming of the central and eastern Pacific Ocean. This could lead to droughts and flooding across the globe. Not only could war disrupt trade as oil and fertiliser trade is blocked, which will have an impact on agriculture and food production, but so too could climate issues.

This Full Moon in Sagittarius/Gemini shines a light on the joys of life and children versus our understanding of success in the world. Uranus conjunct Sun indicates that things are unstable and changing, even chaotic. We are needing to reinvent ourselves in the ever changing world around us. This Full Moon squares the Nodes in 2nd and 8th houses. Financial matters are in focus. South Node in 2nd indicates personal resources - slave to money? How does this connect with your sense of self worth? North Node in 8th speaks about needing to rely on others. But with Pluto in 7th there is pressure on partnerships and with ruler of 7th Saturn fallen in Aries in 9th this indicates pressure from legal or contractual disputes. All this points to the necessity of fundamental changes. What decisions need to be taken legally? Is there a fundamental difference in belief systems? Does your relationship support you? You are certainly frustrated with your setup at home and in your life. Can you support yourself personally? What will make you feel safe and happy? Is it a place or finding comfort and support within? Time to journey spiritually within. Disappointment with the direction of traditional religion and other charlatans in this space. Perhaps disappointment with religious wars. Where does this end? Do you and your family agree? Are you stubbornly sticking to what you believe?

Beautiful benefics in the sky tonight with the Moon - all in Cancer. Venus speaks about what we value - home and family. Jupiter is the teacher and wants the truth. Jupiter questions our beliefs and religious orientation. All these planets in Cancer focus on feminine - the mothers, grandmothers and children. Society needs to value the women and children in the world. They are precious and deserve protection.

Today Mars moves into Ta**us. The energy changes. In Aries Mars is aggressive and determined. In Ta**us, Mars is forced to slow down. Ta**us is a fixed, earth sign. This Mars needs to be more deliberate. It is perhaps more stubborn and unwilling to change direction. It may bring extra qualities of grit and determination to stick to a difficult task. This Mars might feel stuck and cornered and more inclined to anger and frustration. Mars is moving to an exact square with Pluto on 26 May 2026. This is described as a turning point. Push through or surrender?

This New Moon at 25 Ta**us conjunct the fixed star Algol opposes the Ramaphosa Sun and Moon. This is a complex New Moon. The Moon is exalted in Ta**us and yet also out of bounds. This makes it more unpredictable. This New Moon is conjunct the Fixed Star Algol adding difficulty. This star is associated with losing one’s head and is often connected to the fall of leaders. Ramaphosa has indicated he will take this case on review. The Constitutional Court ruled that Parliament must set up a committee to deliberate the Independent Report. Parliament failed to do this at the time. Things have changed significantly in Parliament since this issue first arose in 2022. The ANC no longer holds a majority. Ramaphosa certainly fighting for his political future. New Moons are always seen as seed points. What emerges in the future?
