“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.” – Joseph Campbell
“Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
The partial Solar Eclipse of the Sun at 9 Aries on March 29 ushered in a new beginning connected to the essence of the sign of Aries. Namely, that of action, courage, impulsiveness, anger and, most of all, new beginnings.
Neptune moved into Aries on March 30 quietly reshaping our deepest spiritual and moral understandings. Neptune had been in Pisces since April 4, 2011. Neptune is at home and feels comfortable in its “home sign” of Pisces. Now, as it moves into uncomfortable Aries, you may find that you need to confront past beliefs and to become more aggressive in your moral stance. Use the beginning stage of Neptune in Aries to review your goals, your moral understandings and your ability to become more involved in the actions and reactions of yourself and those around you. Neptune will be in Aries until March 2029, with a brief retrograde return to Pisces from Octboer 2025 through January 2026. Use this time to reassess your spiritual beliefs (Pisces) and to come to terms with what is worth fighting for (Aries) in your life and the world at large.
The April forecast is relatively quiet, but changes dramatically after April 21st when an intense, explosive, power-hungry T-square between the Sun, Mars and Pluto dominates between April 21 and April 27. Add in the Taurus New Moon on the 27th in the fixed sign of Taurus and it points to a very challenging time indeed. Saturn in Pisces all through April can help you stay grounded and focused. The sign of Pisces reminds you to not lose your compassionate, caring nature during those challenging times.
April 2: Venus Conjunct North Node at 26 Degrees Pisces.Venus Opposition South Node at 26 Degrees Pisces/Virgo. Venus conjunct the North Node and opposing the South Node urges you to appreciate and join with others for a mutually beneficial compassionate endeavor. Venus opposition South Node shows the need to leave old ideas and prejudices behind. The sign of Pisces brings universal love and the sign of Virgo brings discernment. Ask yourself: How can I join with others to bring more joy and peace to my neighborhood, my country and the world?
April 4: Saturn Sextile Uranus at 256 Degrees Pisces/Taurus. Mars Trine Saturn at 25 Degrees Cancer/Pisces. Mars Sextile Uranus at 25 Degrees Cancer/Taurus. Saturn brings a sense of responsibility and stability, while Uranus seeks to shake things up. Though the energies of Saturn and Uranus don’t mesh well, this aspect can reveal new and exciting concepts and ideas. Uranus brings revolution, new directions and breakthroughs, Mars brings the courage to embark on new endeavors and Saturn keeps you grounded and focused. Saturn also tames the more impulsive and aggressive Mars’ tendencies.
April 6-7: Venus Conjunct Saturn at 25 Degrees Pisces, Trine Mars at 25 Degrees Cancer. Venus conjunct Saturn helps you evaluate your relationships and financial matters. Mars gives you the courage and will to make changes where necessary. We treasure stability, loyalty and duty when Venus is conjunct Saturn. This would be a good time to finalize business agreements as all parties are willing to find a middle ground.
April 8: Mercury Direct Conjunct North Node, Venus and Saturn at 25-27 Degrees Pisces. Your communications become more focused when Mercury goes direct in Pisces. Stubborn relationship or money matters may now have more clarity as solutions come into focus.
April 12: Venus stations Direct at 24 Degrees Pisces. Venus turning direct in Pisces gives you a chance to make amends or to re-establish strained relationships. Beauty and artistic ventures are especially favored now.
April 12: Full Moon at 23 Degrees Libra; Sun Conjunct Chiron at 23 Degrees Aries. The Sabian symbol for this Libra Full Moon is: “A third wing on the left side of a butterfly.” It points out the fact that we are all different and unique and yet, valuable and beautiful. It is time to honor and capitalize on those things that make you unique, creative, original, distinctive and peculiar. In a judgmental world that values conformity, this Full Moon in Libra honors your individuality and encourages you to have the courage (Aries Sun in opposition) to follow your own path. Meanwhile, transiting Uranus trine the South Node (the past) and sextile the North Node (new opportunities) shakes up your sense of complacency. Ask yourself: Am I ready to give up past limitations to honor my special gifts and talents.
April 16: Mercury Enters Aries and Conjuncts Neptune at 00 Degrees Aries. Everything, but especially communication, picks up when Mercury enters Aries. Hold off on important discussions until after April 23 when Mercury moves past Neptune. The Sun square Pluto gives you the courage to make changes and bold, new moves. Just check everything out first as Neptune at zero degrees can obscure the truth or fog the issues.
April 18: Mars Enters Leo. Bring out the crayons, watercolors and musical influences of all kinds when Mars is in Leo. Also, throw your shoulders back and present your most dramatic and confident self. Its time to let your talents show, when Mars transits Leo. Just be careful not to let yourself become arrogant or condescending.
April 19: Sun Enters Taurus. Mars Trine Neptune at 00 Degrees Leo/Aries. The Sun in Taurus until May 20 is superb for consolidating financial matters. There is a lot of fear now regarding finances. The Sun in Taurus urges you to pay attention to your long-term stability and security.
April 20: Sun Square Mars at 1 Degree Taurus/Leo. Everyone will be feeling impulsive, headstrong and competitive under the Sun square Mars transit. The possibility of accidents is heightened due to a lack of restraint and common sense. Use this time to motivate yourself, not to compete with others.
April 23: Sun Square Pluto at 3 Degrees Taurus/Aquarius. Power struggles, intensity, and just plain bull-headedness are some of the keywords used to describe Sun square Pluto. Be careful in your interactions with authority figures and realize that your way is not always the best way. Sun square Pluto can bring up deep, unresolved issues, especially with authority figures. Now is not the time to confront those in power or, really, anyone you are in conflict with. Say focused, and non-confrontational and your ability for accomplishment is through the roof.
April 24: Venus Conjunct Saturn at 27 Degrees Pisces. You may not be feeling “warm and fuzzy” when Venus is conjunct Saturn. Unfortunately, you may be super focused on the faults and limitations of yourself and those around you. Use this time to spend quiet, nurturing time alone. Saturn and Venus together can bring a feeling of loneliness and discontent, whether you are with others or not.
April 26: Mars Opposition Pluto at 3 Degrees Leo/Aquarius. Mars opposition Pluto on the Leo/Aquarius axis can either be a time of great energy and accomplishment or a time of extreme power struggles, obsessions and jockeying for position. Use this time to come up with solutions, rather than aggressively pushing (Mars) your own views and your need to be number one (Mars in Leo).
April 27: New Moon at 7-8 Degrees Taurus. You feel the need to increase your feeling of safety and stability under this Taurus New Moon. Though the outside world remains in a state of flux due to the outer planets all moving into new signs this spring and summer, vow to find space to tune into your inner sense of peace and tranquility. Nature is especially healing at this time. Consider planting a garden, buying a new houseplant or just taking long walks in nature. This is truly the time to hug a tree!
April 30: Venus Enters Aries. Venus in Aries conjunct Neptune calls for an evaluation of what and who you hold dear. Venus, the planet of love, conjunct Neptune, the planet of high ideals, brings a sense of universal love and a selfless regard for all sentient creatures. When I was taking classes at the School of Metaphysics, we practiced going around the circle and saying to the person next to us: “I love you just because you are.” This is the spirit of Venus in Aries conjunct Neptune.

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. — Harriet Tubman
The month opens with a six-planet rolling stellium in Pisces (Sun, Saturn, Mercury, Moon, Neptune, Venus and the North Node). The concentrated planetary activity in Pisces at the beginning of the month gives us the opportunity to dream big dreams. Everything begins with a dream, an idea or a spark of intuition. The first part of March has that imaginative, intuitive, creative energy in abundant supply.
The activity and energy shifts in the second half of the month when the emphasis moves to Aries. Aries energy is an active, dynamic, courageous and, sometimes, aggressive energy that is perfect for charging ahead toward your goals.
Some major, important shifts this month are:
- Venus stations retrograde on March 1.
- Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse at 24 Degrees Virgo on March 14.
- Mercury turns retrograde on March 15.
- Partial Solar Eclipse of the Sun at 9 Aries on March 29.
- Neptune moves into Aries on March 30.
March 1: Venus Stations Retrograde at 10 Degrees Aries. Venus retrograde in Aries brings out issues of independence (Aries) versus cooperation (Venus). It also speaks to the need to re-evaluate what you want from life. You can actively and courageously pursue your dreams once Venus turns direct on April 14. Then, when Venus re-enters Aries on May 1, you will be ready to act on your dreams. The more you plan now, the more successful you will be at that time. Ask yourself:
- Are my actions and daily conduct in tune with my values (not someone else’s values)?
- Am I meeting the needs of those close to me? If you no longer wish to meet their needs, what is the best way to withdraw from the conflict?
- Do you want more love in your life. If yes, what can you do to attract a lover, friend or other supportive person into your life?
- Does my financial situation reflect my values? If not, what can I do to improve or change my financial situation?
March 2: Sun Square Jupiter at 12 Degrees Pisces/Gemini. The Sun square Jupiter infuses us with a sense of optimism and confidence. However, it can also bring overconfidence, overoptimism and overload. The warning is that too much of anything can be problematic. Be wary of doing too much and vow to listen to, and honor, others’ opinions under Sun square Jupiter.
March 3: Mercury Enters Aries. Mercury in Aries speeds up your thought processes and your communications. Your mind may be revved up like a race car, and your words rush out before the brain is engaged. Take part in physical activity to slow your racing mind. Mercury in Aries is ideal for thinking up new ideas. Jot such ideas down, or you may forget them under this supercharged energy.
March 5: Mercury Sextile Pluto at 3 Degrees Aries/Aquarius. There may be lots of talk (Mercury) about deep psychological ideas and issues (Pluto) when Mercury is sextile Pluto. Mental health breakthroughs may be in the news now.
March 8: Sun Trine Mars at 17 Degrees Pisces/Cancer. It’s hard to sit still when the Sun is trine Mars. You want to take action and make things happen. Sun trine Mars brings problem-solving ability and the potential for big accomplishment. You may be more reactive now, so count to 10 before engaging in conflict.
March 11: Mercury Conjunct Venus at 8 Degrees Aries. Social (Venus) conversations (Mercury) easily flow now and there is a spirit of compromise and agreement in the air. This is an optimum time for a gathering with your friends or for other social events.
March 12: Sun Conjunct Saturn at 22 Degrees Pisces, Sextile Uranus at 24 Degrees Taurus. Whereas Sun square Jupiter on the 2nd brought a sense of optimism and invincibility, the Sun conjunct Saturn brings you down to earth. Saturn is reality, restriction, discipline and rationality. Though you may be prone to feeling limited, depressed and fearful now, the Sun conjunct Saturn is excellent for sound judgment, steady accomplishment and success in overcoming obstacles. Patience is the key to overcoming any obstacles.
March 14: Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse at 24 Degrees Virgo at 1:54 AM EST. Sun Conjunct Saturn Sextile Uranus at 24 Degrees Pisces/Taurus.
Expect the unexpected with the Sun and Saturn sextile Uranus. Use the few days before and after this Virgo Lunar Eclipse to:
- Declutter and organize your physical surroundings.
- Release old habits and routines that are no longer useful.
- Detox and release old emotional hurts, grudges and traumas.
- Trust your intuition and honor your dreams.
- Practice inner peace.
March 15: Mercury Stations Retrograde at 9 Degrees Taurus. Use Mercury retrograde in Taurus to take another look at your finances and to prepare a new budget. It is a good time to take a personal finance or investing class. Because Taurus rules both money and love, Mercury retrograde in Taurus may bring old relationships to the fore. Unresolved issues with past relationships or money matters. may pop up again, giving you another chance for a permanent resolution. You will begin to see the positive results from the changes you made when Mercury turns direct on April 7.
March 19: Sun Conjunct Neptune at 29 Degrees Pisces. Your intuition, imagination and creativity are soaring to new heights now. Record your dreams and ideas. When the Sun enters Aries tomorrow, you can begin to implement the best of those ideas.
March 20: Sun Enters Aries. Each year there is a big shift when the Sun enters Aries. The Sun in Pisces for the last month was focused on feelings of compassion, and connection to your fellow earth inhabitants. When the Sun is in Aries, action, agression and competition predominate. It is time to fight for your beliefs.
March 21-25: Sun Conjunct Venus and Sextile Pluto at 3 Degrees Aries/Aquarius. As the Sun moves through the sky, it conjuncts Venus, and then Mercury and then all three of them form a sextile to Pluto. Look for intense interactions (Pluto) with others of like mind (Aquarius). Your survival needs are amplified now (Pluto) and you are ready to fight (Aries) for what you love and value (Venus.)
March 27: Venus Retrogrades Into Pisces and Conjuncts Neptunes at Zero Degrees Pisces. Things and people may not be what they appear to be when Venus moves backward to conjunct Neptune in Pisces. This would be a good time to enjoy a concert, film or candle light meditation session. Set your new Moon intentions now while your intuition and sensitivity are heightened.
March 29: New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse at 9 Degrees Aries at 5:57 AM EST. Saturn Sextile Uranus at 24 Degrees Pisces/Taurus. The New Moon is always symbolic of new beginnings. The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries is especially geared toward big shifts and startling new beginnings. It’s time to forge a new path despite the obstacles and challenges around you. Saturn sextile Uranus fosters exciting, unexpected breakthroughs (Uranus) with the potential to manifest, due to Saturn’s steadying influence.
March 29-30: Neptune Enters Aries, Conjunct Mercury at Zero Degrees Aries. Neptune’s historical entry into Aries brings a compassionate, gentle strength combined with courage and activism with the desire to make a difference in the world. The last time Neptune was at zero degrees Aries was in 1861 at the time of the US Civil War. Neptune will be in Aries until early spring of 2039. Here are some things to look for when Neptune is in Aries.
- Crumbling and dissolving of old structures.
- Expansion into wider, more multi-dimensional consciousness.
- Old politics, economies and religions fall away – they struggle to maintain their power base.
- Young people take over with new ideas and new problem- solving methods.
- Your identity and sense of self becomes more empathetic and intuitive.
- New understandings about mental health, the human brain and psyche, drugs, addictions, illness, neurological discoveries, medicine.
- Artistic and creative endeavors will thrive.
- More water events: floods, water purification methods, etc. Water will definitely be in the news.

 Image from 123rtf True spirituality is to be aware that if we are interdependent with everything and everyone else, even our smallest, least significant thoughts, words and actions have real consequences throughout the universe. -Sogyal Rinpoche
The month of February, with the emphasis on Aquarius and then Pisces, is about connection, cooperation, friendship, and groups. When Pluto entered Aquarius earlier this year, it set the stage for the next 20 years. Individuals and nations are all struggling to embrace new, cooperative worldviews in the midst of some of the most challenging times in history.
It is good to remember that the slow-moving planets (Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn) set up the conditions. It then takes time for the faster-moving planets to connect with the slower planets in order to trigger something new. This is also very true of full moons, new moons and eclipses. I want everyone to remember that we are in the very beginning of a long, tedious process of change toward a more loving, compassionate way of being. February’s planetary movement gives us a glimpse of what can be.
The chaos that we now see is the Universe’s way of clearing out the old, outworn ideas. It’s not pretty, but it’s necessary in the larger, evolutionary sense. When you start to feel despondent and hopeless with everything you hear in the news, please try to put it into context. Goodness will prevail, but we need to be very patient and to do what we can to foster connection no matter how small of an act that might be. The planet’s movement through Aquarius and then Pisces will help us with that.
February 1: Uranus Turns Direct at 23 Degrees Taurus. Unpredictable Uranus direct in Taurus unleashes the ability to revamp your financial patterns, revisit your security needs, and to revitalize your approach to money and possessions.
February 3: Venus Conjunct Neptune and North Node at 28-29 Degrees Pisces. Mars Square Chiron at 29 Degrees Cancer/Aries. Use Venus conjunct Neptune and the North Node to tune into your true desires. Because the North Node energy feels foreign to us, you may need to push back against old habits to fully use this energy. Retrograde Mars in the moody sign of Cancer will tend toward defensiveness and brooding rather than confronting and resolving issues. Mars square Chiron will either bring out anger around the things that wounded you in the past, or will help you take action towards healing those wounds. It’s okay to feel anger, but to be productive, you must then go deep within (Neptune) to heal that anger.
February 4: Venus Enters Aries. Venus in Aries until June 6 energizes you and you feel the need to be more adventurous and impulsive in matters related to relationships and money. While Venus in Aries is excellent for bringing excitement back into your life, it has its less advantageous side. Use Venus in Aries to take small risks and to meet new people, go new places and, generally, be more adventurous. Just be careful not to become too pushy to those around you.
February 4: Jupiter Stations Direct at 11 Degrees Gemini. When Jupiter turns direct, we can actually feel the change in the atmosphere. Business interactions begin to move forward and a feeling of optimism permeates the air. You may find your words and conversations turning to what is possible, instead of what you had perceived to be impossible. That is especially true today, when Jupiter is trine Mercury in air signs Gemini and Aquarius.
February 7: Sun and Mercury Quincunx Mars at 18 Degrees Aquarius/Cancer. You might feel a little out of sorts today when the Sun and Mercury are conjunct and in a quincunx aspect to Mars. You know an adjustment (quincunx) needs to be made, but you don’t feel ready to act just yet. Watch your communication as you may come across as angrier and/or more frustrated than you intended.
February 7: Venus Sextile Pluto at 2 Degrees Aries/Aquarius. A little push or intensity (Pluto) can go a long way now. Don’t belabor a point, but state your case and let it go, especially when interacting with friends or loved ones (Venus). When used in a positive way, Venus sextile Pluto can help you accomplish much more than usual.
February 8-9: Sun and Mercury at 19 Degrees Aquarius Sextile Chiron at 19 Degrees Aries. The Sun and Mercury conjunct in Aquarius stimulate your mind and provide an ideal time to write and to discuss ideas with others. Indeed, any form of communication is favored. The Sun and Mercury in an air sign and Chiron in a fire sign helps you process old wounds in a non-emotional way.
February 9: Mars Trine Saturn at 18 Degrees Cancer/Pisces. Mars trine Saturn is an auspicious time to accomplish those things that require discipline and persistence. You may not see results immediately, because Mars is still retrograde. However, any delays will prove to be beneficial.
February 9-11: Sun and Mercury Square Uranus at 23 Degrees Aquarius/Taurus. It’s best to refrain from discussing politics or religion when the Sun and Mercury are square Uranus. Both sides in any discussion will have a tendency to hold rigid and/or radical views. In addition, the Sun square Uranus triggers restless feelings that can lead to the need for rebellion and revolt.
February 12: Full Moon at 24 Degrees Leo at 8:53 AM EST. This Leo Full Moon is charged and full of tension due to the T-square of the Sun, Moon and Uranus. Your nervous system is on high alert and your impatience is elevated and ready to erupt at any time. Retrograde Mars in Cancer square Chiron only adds to the stress, as it may result in a feeling of anger towards past hurts and grievances. You can best navigate this Full Moon in Leo by engaging in active sports or physically taxing work. The Leo energy also favors any type of creative activity.
February 14: Mercury Enters Pisces. Mercury in Pisces brings a lovely energy to your Valentine’s Day celebration. When in Pisces, Mercury becomes more romantic, dreamy and intuitive. Mercury is in Pisces until March 3rd.
February 18: Sun Enters Pisces. The Sun in Pisces until March 20 is geared more toward introspection, intuition, spirituality and seculsion than overt accomplishment. Becausee Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, it urges us to take some quiet time. The quiet Sun in Pisces helps us prepare for the new beginnings and high activity level of the Sun when it enters Aries on March 20. Your creativity and intuition may be at an all time high, especially if you have planets in any of the water signs (Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio). Be wary of a tendency toward escapism and the tendency to look at the world with rose colored glasses.
February 20: Sun at 2 Degrees Pisces Sesiquiquadrate Retrograde Mars at 17 Degrees Cancer. Mercury Square Jupiter at 11 Degrees Pisces/Gemini. Be wary of grandiose and/or unrealistic ideas when Mercury is square Jupiter. The Sun sesiquiqu8adrate Mars brings a sense of agittaion without a known cause. Thankfully, it’s a short-lived aspect.
February 22: Neptune Conjunct North Node at 28 Degrees Pisces Opposing South Node at 28 Degrees Virgo. When Neptune is in aspect to the Nodes, its time to pay attention to your life purpose. Ask yourself: “Are you moving toward your right livilihood or are you just drifting along (Neptune) doing what seems to be easiest?”.
February 23: Mars Stations Direct at 17 Degrees Cancer. Let the action begin! Everything that has felt sluggish and mired in quicksand will now come to life. Though we will all feel the change as Mars ends its retrograde period, those with mid to late degrees of the cardinal signs (Cancer, Libra, Capricorn and Aries) will feel it the most. Dust off and implement any plans or projects that you put aside, as you can now make significant progress.
February 27: New Moon at 9 Degrees 40 Minutes Pisces. Mercury Sextile Uranus at 23 Degrees Pisces/Taurus. This magical New Moon in Pisces is especially tuned to music, water and all matter of artistic and creative work. Pay attention to the subtle and intuitive insights you get at this time. This Pisces New Moon is particularly beneficial to those who are doing spiritual and/or healing work, both individually and professionally. Mercury sextile Uranus opens the floodgates to let unusual, innovative ideas flow in. Ask for divine guidance during this auspicious New Moon.
March 1: Venus Stations Retrograde at 10 Degrees Aries. Old relationship issues, or even old relationships may appear when Venus is in retrograde motion until April 13. Use this time to evaluate your values and your relationship expectations.
Interesting astrological insight that came across my news feed today from Time Magazine: “New studies on samples from the asteroid Bennu found that the samples contained the precursors to life in a watery environment and DNA and RNA, suggesting similar asteroids were the building blocks of life on Earth.” I have always felt that the reason astrology works is because our DNA is connected to the planets, asteroids and other heavenly bodies as part of the divine plan. This could confirm that notion. I would love to hear your thoughts.

“Embrace what is, honor what was, love what will be.”– Patti Digh
In my opinion, there are two major times during the year that are especially opportune for assessing your life and for setting new goals. One of those times is at the New Year celebrated on January 1st each year. That is the traditional time when we set new goals and aspirations for the coming calendar year. Our celebration of New Year’s Day has significance, because it unites people from all walks of life in an acknowledgment of the past and the expression of optimism for a better future. It embodies the expression of Saturn (limitation and the past) and the expression of Jupiter (forward-thinking optimism). When you consider that December is ruled by Jupiter and January is ruled by Saturn, the combination of the two energies is especially appropriate.
The other time for personal assessment is every year at your birthday. In fact, I tell my clients that the absolute best time to get an astrology reading is near their birthday each year. The solar return chart cast for your birthday tells you the major energy working in your chart in the coming year and where that energy is most likely to play out (i.e. relationships, home, career, finances, etc.). It will also help you navigate your year ahead in the best possible way. Of course, you can get an astrology reading at any time. An astrology reading is recommended at any time that circumstances in your life are changing or are especially perplexing.
Now, on to the energy of January 2025:
January 3: Venus at 1 Degree Pisces Quincunx Mars at 1 Degree Leo. Venus in Pisces quincunx Mars in Leo begs you to let go of your ego (Mars in Leo) in order to work out any relationship problems that arise now. Your feelings for someone can be unclear now as your emotions fluctuate between love (Venus) and hate (Mars). Stay the course, as this aspect works itself out quickly and equilibrium will return soon enough.
January 3: Venus Enters Pisces. Mars Opposition Pluto at 1 Degrees Leo/Aquarius. Venus is exalted in Pisces where it favors creative endeavors and brings compassion and intuitive abilities. Meanwhile, Mars opposition Pluto brings a surge of energy and the will to move forward despite obstacles. Its wise to guard against the more negative manifestation of Mars opposition Pluto, which is willfulness, anger and controlling behavior.
January 4: Sun Sextile Saturn at 15 Degrees Capricorn/Pisces. Relationships with authority figures are enhanced when the Sun is sextile Saturn. The sign of Capricorn is serious and goal-oriented, while the sign of Pisces softens the energy. Compassionate endeavors are especially favored under this aspect. It would be a good day to volunteer at a non-profit near you.
January 5: Pluto at 1 Degree Aquarius Trine South Node at 1 Degree Libra and Sextile North Node at 1 Degree Aries. There is no better time to contemplate your life purpose and whether your life is in tune with that purpose. Pluto, the planet of transformation, can help you make any necessary life changes to bring your life into balance.
January 6: Mars at 0 Degrees Leo Sesiquiquadrate Saturn at 15 Degrees Pisces. Retrograde Mars re-enters Cancer. Mars is at zero degrees Leo early in the day when it is sesiquiquadrate Saturn, creating a conflict between the need to act and the need to limit action. Later in the day, transiting Mars moves backward from Leo into Cancer, where it will stay until February 24th when it will move forward once again.
January 8: Sun Square Chiron at 19 Degrees Capricorn/Aries. When the Sun is square Chiron in Aries, we are reminded to assess and honor our leadership qualities. Ask yourself: “What have I started in the last year?” If you can’t think of anything, now is a good time to begin something new no matter how small.
January 8: Mercury Enters Capricorn and Squares the South Node at 1 Degree Capricorn/Libra; and also, the North Node at 1 Degree Capricorn/Aries. Mercury square the Nodes is a short-lived aspect that can bring tension and indecision due to old karmic patterns. You may have trouble deciding between two paths of action or feel that your life direction is not working as it should.
January 12: Mars Trine Neptune at 27 Degrees Cancer/Pisces. Sit back and let the world go on without your active participation when Mars is trine Neptune in the water signs of Cancer and Pisces. Spend some time in contemplation now to re-evaluate your spiritual and compassionate goals. This is a good time to find new, or deepened, soul connections to the spiritual or charitable endeavors of your choice.
January 13: Full Moon at 24 Degrees Cancer. Sun at 23 Degrees Capricorn trine Uranus at 23 Degrees Taurus. Mercury at 7 Degrees Capricorn Sesiquiquadrate Uranus at 23 Degrees Taurus. The Cancer Full Moon, in a wide conjunction with Mars, sets the stage for a rather challenging time. A Full Moon in Cancer is almost always fraught with buried emotional overtones. Combine that with the unpredictable Uranus energy and the fixity of Uranus in Taurus and you have the recipe for sudden and stormy outbursts from yourself and others. Stay as calm as possible and relaize that “this too shall pass.” On the positive side, this Cancer Full Moon is an excellent time to let go of old, emotional attachments and baggage.
January 14-15: Venus Square Jupiter at 12 Degrees Pisces/Gemini. Venus at 12 Degrees Pisces Sesiquiquadrate Mars at 27 Degrees Cancer. Sun at 26 Degrees Capricorn Opposition Mars at 26 Degrees Cancer. Self discipline flies out the door when Venus is square Jupiter. You feel empowered and believe (falsely) that you are invinciable and can tackle anything. Venus sesiquiquadrate Mars in water signs Pisces and Cancer bring an emotional element that can attract the ire of those around you. Its okay to charge ahead under this aspect, just don’t do so impetuously and without addressing other’s feelings, especially since the Sun is opposing Mars.
January 18: Venus Conjunct Saturn at 16 Degrees Pisces. Venus conjunct Saturn brings a sense of clear-eyed reality to matters relating to relationship, finances and value. Unlike the energy on January 14 and 15, this is a good time to assess your finances and to solidify relationship and partnership matters.
January 19: Sun Enters Aquarius and Conjuncts Pluto, Trine North Node in Libra and Sextile South Node in Aries. Venus Conjunct Saturn at 16 Degrees Pisces. Relationship matters take center stage when the Sun and Pluto aspect the North and South Nodes on the Aries/Libra relationship axis. The Sun in Aquarius asks you to detach from the over-wrought need to control the situation (Pluto) and instead to look to the past (South Node) for ways to heal any relationship rifts. Your soul will rejoice (North Node) when such emotional bridges are built.
January 28-29: Mercury Enters Aquarius and Conjuncts Pluto. Strong, possibly startling, words and ideas are common under this short-lived Mercury conjunct Pluto aspect.
January 29: New Moon at 9 Degrees 51 Minutes Aquarius trine Jupiter at 11 Degrees Gemini. New beginnings of all kinds are favored when the Aquarius Moon is conjunct the Sun and trine Jupiter in Gemini. When Uranus turns direct on January 30 the gates to the future are opened. Its now time to chart your future course. Matters concerning technology, community and communication are especially favored.
January 30: Uranus Turns Direct at 23 Degrees Taurus. Watch for sudden, unexpected events when Uranus turns direct. The stock market may go into a crazy time of wild swings, but should bring an increase over time. However, this is not the time to take big chances on any matters pertaining to money and relationships.
Year 2025 Generally: Just a reminder that several outer planets are changing signs in 2025. Year 2025 is exceptionally important, because of the major shifts that we are now beginning to experience. I gave a talk recently at A Spiritual Center in Carbondale, CO, about the astrological energy in force in 2025 and beyond. If you haven’t already listened to my forecast, you can find it on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd8ceiggmR8.
