Pluto is now in Aquarius, where it will stay until 2044. That’s 2 decades of transformation focused on Aquarian principles. We’ve already had some glimpses of what this shift might bring during Pluto’s dip into Aquarius earlier this year. But what kind of developments can we expect as it settles in for the long haul? Before we dive into the trends, let’s get back the basics: What does Aquarius really stand for? Most people immediately associate Aquarius with AI and technological advancements – and while that’s true, there’s much more to uncover when we dig into fundamentals. When we truly…
Can you believe it’s December? 2024 is coming to a close, and this month is packed with astrological surprises. While we have quite a few planets changing direction this month, the key highlight is Mars retrograde in Leo. Mars only goes retrograde once every 2 years, so when it does, that’s quite a big deal. Another reason why this Mars retrograde cycle is so important is that it is part of the unusually long, 6-month Mars-opposite-Pluto transit. This is deep, intense restructuring work. It’s my will vs. collective will – as we’re being asked to learn the fine line between…
On December 7th, 2024, Mars goes retrograde at 6° Leo. Mars stays retrograde for nearly 3 months, with its retrograde motion concluding on February 24th, 2025, at 17° Cancer. Mars only goes retrograde once every 2 years, so when it does, that’s quite a big deal. This is a significant astrological event because it’s so rare. Mercury goes retrograde three times a year, the outer planets once a year. Mars goes retrograde only every 26 months. Mars doesn’t go retrograde often… but when it does, you can bet it comes with important changes and developments. This is important! Mars Retrograde…
On December 15th, 2024, we have a Full Moon at 23° Gemini. The Full Moon in Gemini highlights the dynamic interplay of the Gemini-Sagittarius axis. The Sun is in Sagittarius, and the Moon is in Gemini. The Sun and the Moon are at cross purposes, yet within this tension lies the potential for a new, higher perspective or understanding. What is Sagittarius? What we believe in. Our ‘truth’. The framework of meaning. What makes sense to us. What is Gemini? The actual, ever-changing reality. The facts. What we actually do. At the Full Moon in Gemini, our beliefs may come…
On December 24th, 2024, Jupiter is square Saturn. Everyone gets excited about Pluto in Aquarius, Mercury retrograde, Chiron, or other headline-making transits. Astrological events like Jupiter square Saturn often get overlooked, or don’t get the attention they deserve. Yet, a square between the 2 largest planets in our solar system is incredibly important. We are talking about a clash between the 2 planets that shape the very structure of our lives! Jupiter is now at 14° Gemini, Saturn is at 14° Pisces. At the time of the square, Mercury is at 11° Sagittarius, T-squaring the 2, rewiring our brain to…
2025 is one of those big, milestone years that will make history, and we will talk about for decades. What makes some years – like 2025 – more ‘special’ astrology-wise than others? It basically comes down to outer planets forming significant alignments. Let’s take 1969, 1989, and 2020 as examples of other milestone years: In 1969, we had a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Libra, part of a stellium with Pluto and the South Node, marking a time of cultural and technological revolution In 1989, the Saturn-Uranus-Neptune alignment in Capricorn heralded the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the end of the…
On December 30th-31st, 2024, we have a fabulous NYE New Moon at 9° Capricorn. What perfect timing for New Year’s resolutions! More often than not, the New Moon in Capricorn occurs after Dec. 31st, which means that our New Year’s resolutions are seeded during the Sagittarius lunar season, rather than the Capricorn one. This explains the enthusiasm – but also the occasional lack of practicality and follow-through. However, when we set our New Year’s resolutions during the Capricorn lunar season, we are much more likely to achieve them. The New Moon is almost unaspected, apart from a wide-ish sextile to…
Welcome 2025! 2025 is the year of transformation. All the outer planets change signs and form interesting – and supportive – configurations, making 2025 a year unlike anything we’ve seen before. January 2025 kicks off the first of these significant transitions. The Lunar Nodes shift axis: the North Node moves from Aries into Pisces, and the South Node transitions from Libra into Virgo. When the Lunar Nodes change signs, it’s a big deal for everyone. The Nodes spend approximately 18 months in a pair of signs, spotlighting the archetypal themes connected to those signs. For example: When the Lunar Nodes…
On January 11, 2025, we have one of the most important ingresses of the year: the Lunar Nodes switch axis, so the North Node enters Pisces, and the South Node enters Virgo. North Node In Pisces – Quo Vadis, Domine? “Quo Vadis, Domine?” meaning “Where are you going, Lord?” originates from Christian tradition, where Peter, after having a vision of Jesus carrying a cross on the road, decides to accept his fate, return to Rome, and face martyrdom. In the Quo Vadis novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz, the Latin phrase serves as a metaphor for the tension between personal survival (Aries)…
On February 7th, 2025, the North Node and Neptune align at 28° Pisces. The influence of this transit is already palpable, as the North Node and Neptune are less than 2 degrees apart. Meanwhile, Saturn, currently at 16° Pisces, is steadily progressing through the second segment of the sign. This means the North Node-Neptune alignment also carries the influence of Saturn, creating a combined North Node-Neptune-Saturn dynamic. Let’s break this transit down: The North Node – together with the South Node – are karmic influences and repeated patterns we carry forward. Nodal transits like this one come with the opportunity…
