We've made it! After 11 long weeks of Mars being retrograde, he finally stations to resume direct motion in the sign of Cancer. If you've felt stuck, stagnant, and unable to locate your motivation, you can thank Mars. While it will take a few weeks, really months, for Mars to get his mojo back, you will start to feel renewed momentum and desire to finally move forward. With Mars in Cancer, the sign of the divine mother, expect some fierce Mama Bear energy in the coming weeks. Especially when Venus retrogrades in Aries next week!

The full moon in Leo squares Uranus in Taurus on Wednesday, February 12th. It's offering up lessons in self-love and validation-seeking. Leo rules the heart, so this is always an emotional Full Moon, but it's even more evocative thanks to Uranus' friction. You might be feeling equally overwhelmed by the chaos of these times and inspired by the possibilities. The transits offer just another reminder of the importance of self-care during such turbulent times. Detaching from the news and nourishing your body is crucial right now. I touch on Kendrick Lamar's birth chart and his impactful Super Bowl performance and offer a preview of the forthcoming Venus retrograde. On Valentine's Day, you might enjoy some romantic musings, poetry, or dancing thanks to Mercury entering the dreamy sign of Pisces earlier in the day.

Venus enters Aries this week igniting passion and action. The planet of love and beauty is a warrior when she's in the sign of initiation. You might feel like you're shaking off some brain fog thanks to Neptune joining with the South Node in Pisces. You will also have moments of clarity and clear direction thanks to the Sun and Mercury joining in big-picture thinking Aquarius. With Jupiter stationing to go direct, everything feels big, overwhelming, and larger than life. Remember to keep your feet on the ground and take long steady breaths.

The chaos is real. With Mars retrograde and out of bounds, things feel unruly. The glimmer comes from the New Moon in Aquarius, our first conjunct Pluto (albeit a wide conjunction). This is the beginning of a new Lunar Year, the year of the wood snake. An opportunity for shedding our old skins and making ourselves open and available for the slow, steady, and sustainable transformation associated with snake years. This New Moon is an opportunity to take stock of how you are supporting and being supported by your community. Get to work on cultivating and fortifying your local connections. In this week's episode, I mention this Ted Talk, "It Takes a Village: How Community is the Antidote to Despair." Most importantly, when things feel unsettled (and they do since Uranus is stationing direct) you must prioritize your basic self-care. I'm talking about the basics, eat, sleep, hydrate, and move your body. Save your seat for Cosmic Conversation on Feb 3rd. Buy the Replay of the 2025 Year-Ahead Forecast. Join my email community.

This week starts with a Full Moon in Cancer and ends with the Sun entering Aquarius. While the Full Moon connects with Mars retrograde and Uranus, it offers an opportunity to take a new perspective on some old emotional patterns. Nurturing yourself is priority number one under these Full Moon beams. When Venus joins Saturn and squares Jupiter, you might be in the mood to make some serious commitments. Ensure you honor your worth and your values as you negotiate your responsibilities and expectations. Speaking of expectations, if you've been feeling pressure to get on the "new year, new you" bandwagon - slow down. Mars is retrograde, asking you to rest, repair, and reflect. Finally, the Sun enters Aquarius on Sunday joining Pluto, kicking up the Mars opposite Pluto irritation that we've all been feeling underlying the surface. When in doubt, remember that nourishing and nurturing yourself is the priority this week, and frankly, always. Save your seat for Cosmic Conversation on Jan 20th. Join my email community.

If you are wondering why 2025 doesn't seem to be kicking off with that New Year pep in its step, well you can thank Mars. The planet of motivation, drive, and war is retrograde. You might not be feeling up for a fight, particularly now that Mars has retrograded back into the sensitive, and sometimes passive-aggressive, sign of Cancer. This week does host several opportune transits for emotional healing. So allow yourself space to rest and repair. There will be plenty of "newness" up ahead in the coming months. For now, let this slow start be a balm for your weary heart. In this week's episode I cover: The Nodes of fate beginning a new 1.5 year cycle in Pisces and Virgo. Mars retrograde opposing Pluto (still) and trining Neptune. The first Full Moon of the year in Cancer. If you like the show, would you please share it with a friend? Join my email community.

As the Sun finishes up his journey through Sagittarius he squares Neptune, offering you a peek into your subconscious. Make sure you give yourself ample time to slow down and rest, since this transit may zap your energy. On the other hand, those naps and daydreams offer a portal into your subconscious. It's a great week to go to therapy, journal, or get creative. Luckily, Venus and Jupiter are working in harmony encouraging sweet connections and connecting with those that share your values and ideals. Finally, on Saturday, the Sun enters Capricorn, making it the Winter Solstice, aka Yule. I share a little about the history of this time of celebration in this episode.

Mercury is retrograde, but so is Mars! When the red-hot planet goes backward, he packs a punch. This week I share all the details on Mars retrograde, as well as his seemingly never-ending opposition to Pluto. Beyond Mars and Mercury retrograde, we're living under the influence of two life-altering transits right now: Jupiter square Saturn : this calls for a compromise between what might be growing too fast and what might be suffocating under our desire to control or restrict. Mars opposite Pluto : this is a face-off between the God of War and the God of the Underworld. If you have long pushed down trauma or resentment, beware, when it comes to the surface, Mars will make you want to explode. Please refer to the "slow down" portion of my email above and take a breath! In addition, on this week's episode of the podcast, I share why I love this upcoming Full Moon in Gemini and a tidbit on how we are living in an Aquarian era (here's to T. Swift), but we are not in the Aquarian age. If you like the show, would you please share it with a friend? Join my email community. Do you want to say thank you for this episode?

This week comes with a big vibe shift. From the murky waters of Scorpio, the Sun emerges and enters Sagittarius bringing light, joy, and some holiday magic. The big news though is that Pluto enters Aquarius and this time, it's for good, well at least for the next 20 years. With Pluto in the fixed air sign get ready for big-idea thinking, a speed-up in our already fast-paced technological world, and a newfound appreciation for community over individualism.

The Pluto Return of the USA continues and this election has illuminated this potent, destructive, and transformative transit. Please tune in for some musings on how we can remember that we are all part of one cosmic consciousness. With Pluto entering Aquarius on November 19th, we all are being called to connect with the people in our community and fortify those bonds. Pluto may have his fingerprints all over the election, but Saturn is in charge this week. Venus moves into Saturn's home sign of Capricorn creating some heavy, somber, and serious vibes. The Full Moon in Taurus on Friday is joined by Uranus, which means you might be restless to shake things up, be impulsive, or just ready to do things differently. Join my email community.

There is something even spookier than Halloween ghosts and ghouls... It's Mars opposite Pluto! This transit invites passion - in all its forms.

The Sun enters Scorpio and the season of all things spooky begins! Scorpio season kicks off with a grand trine in water that may flood you with emotion. Lots of water in the sky can offer opportunities for deeper connections, but it may cause you to be self-indulgent. Scorpio season also tends to bring up power struggles and control issues, especially this year with the Sun squaring Pluto at the start, but this is a great aspect for putting your attention on something you can control.

With all of these planets in water in the heavens, you might feel overwhelmed by empathy or even intuitive impulses. I share some of my favorite and simple ways to cleanse your energy on this week's episode. Note: I don't think spiritual practices have to be complex or tedious to be effective. We're all feeling on edge, and perhaps exhausted, thanks to that intense Full Moon last week. Calibrate your energy so you have bandwidth for the possible bursts of inspiration or breakthroughs that could show up on Thursday when Mars sextiles Uranus.…
It's a full week, with a Full Moon in Aries amping up your sensitive feelings. Assume everyone you see is a walking open emotional wound. The Full Moon in Aries is joined by Chiron (the wounded healer dwarf planet/asteroid) and squaring Mars in Cancer. This alone makes us all feel impatient, on edge, and passive-aggressive. Before the Full Moon arrives Venus opposes Uranus inviting you to take a new approach or angle to the same old emotional patterns. I know it's not easy but Uranus is the planet that forces us to adapt and make changes. Join my email community. Do you want to say thank you for this episode? You can buy me a coffee .
