Happy New Year! The wheel turns, and with it, we step into 2025. This is not just a calendar shift; it’s an invitation from the universe to deepen your practice, refine your vision, and act with purpose. Personally, my intention for 2025 is to do nothing—or more accurately, to do less. I want to reduce, simplify, and strip away the unnecessary. My focus is to move through the year with clear intention, offering my full presence and energy only to what truly matters.

Mars Rx Dec 6th (Leo) - Feb 23rd (Cancer)

The year begins gently, with Mars retrograde reminding us that even the most blazing fires need time to rest and rekindle. Mars retrograde invites us to slow down, and sometimes, our bodies enforce this lesson for us. When Mars, the planet of energy, drive, and vitality, moves backward, we’re asked to pause, reflect, and redirect. This can show up physically as illness, injury, or exhaustion, a clear signal that something needs our attention.

As Mars moves from 6°11' Leo back into the nurturing embrace of Cancer, this retrograde slows our stride, culminating on February 23 at 17°01' Cancer. In Leo, Mars urges bold expression and unshakable courage, but its backward motion invites reflection. As it dips into Cancer’s tender, protective waters, we are called to soften our approach, grounding ambition in care and emotional truth. This is a moment to tend to the embers of our will, ensuring that every spark we ignite is guided by both the wisdom of our hearts and the clarity of our highest intentions.

On January 2, 2025, Mars in Leo stands face-to-face with Pluto in Aquarius at 1°08'. This opposition pulls no punches. Mars, the planet of action, confronts Pluto, the keeper of power and transformation. Together, they demand we examine the ways we hold power: over ourselves, over others, and in the spaces we inhabit. Control, courage, and manipulation are all in the spotlight. What have we been burying? What truths are asking to be revealed? This alignment calls for a reckoning, a moment to confront what we’ve avoided and to claim the strength hidden in our shadows.

By April 26, 2025, Mars and Pluto meet again at 3°48', but this time, the retrograde is behind us. The lessons we’ve gathered are ready for integration. What have you learned about your drive, your ability to assert yourself, and the balance between boldness and vulnerability? This second opposition is a call to action — one that asks you to live the answers you’ve found. Authenticity doesn’t apologize, and transformation doesn’t hesitate. Here, Mars offers the gift of liberation, turning hard-won lessons into purpose.

When Mars, the planet of action and drive, turns retrograde, its energy doesn’t fade—it shifts, intensifies, and sometimes spirals into the unexpected. Frustration bubbles up, impulsiveness takes the wheel, and unchecked aggression can surface. The last Mars retrograde through Leo and Cancer, from December 4, 1945, to February 21, 1946, unfolded in a world rebuilding after the war. It was a time of reckoning, reconstruction, and reimagining what was possible after World War II. 

As we face a similar retrograde in 2024-2025, it offers a mirror to our own inner battles. Unemployment projections for 2025 anticipate a modest increase to 4.3%, up from 4.2% in November 2024. However, these figures are likely to be revisited and could trend higher as Q1 data unfolds. Inflation continues to press its weight on households. Those who are thriving are likely to maintain their momentum. For those struggling, the call is to lean into your communities, to remember that collective care is how we survive, and thrive together. Mars retrograde reminds us that transformation is not born from force alone but from resilience, reflection, and the courage to imagine a brighter horizon.We are not alone in our challenges or in our power to create something better. 

For many of us, stepping into 2025 feels like emerging from the trenches of 2024. Last year was a battlefield — challenging, relentless, and unforgiving. Leo’s sovereign fire meets Cancer’s nurturing waters, reminding us that true power isn’t about domination, but integration. The heavens ask us to burn brighter, to care deeper, and to create from a place that feels whole.

On January 11, the lunar nodes shift into Pisces and Virgo, creating a powerful axis of dreaming and doing. This will be a major theme of 2025. This alignment asks you to honor your dreams (Pisces) and surrender to the unknown. Virgo, the maker, calls you back to earth, reminding you that dreams require effort, precision, and care to become real. This shift asks you to hold both: the vastness of your imagination and the groundedness of your actions. Living in this tension between inspiration and practicality is the work of this nodal cycle. It’s not about choosing one over the other; it’s about letting them inform and strengthen each other. The expansiveness of Pisces fuels the focus of Virgo. The structure of Virgo gives shape to the flow of Pisces. Together, they create a blueprint for building something extraordinary, rooted in both imagination and intention.

The polarity of Virgo/Pisces is about balancing order (Virgo) and chaos (Pisces). From disorganization to organization, we are seeking stability within the rise and fall of the emotional waves. Pisces is represented by two fishes swimming in opposite directions, one towards the euphoric highs, the other towards the sabotaging lows - symbolizing the conflict of our emotional currents. Together, they offer a lesson in balance: how to find stability amidst the emotional tides, moving from disorganization to alignment, from overwhelm to clarity. Together, they remind us that both chaos and order have a role to play in the art of creation. The universe rewards both the vision and the effort.

From 2006 to 2007, the North Node in Pisces called for spiritual growth, compassion, and the breaking down of boundaries, while the South Node in Virgo urged the release of perfectionism and overly critical tendencies. As the lunar nodes return to this axis in 2025, expect themes from that period to resurface, offering an opportunity for reflection, course correction, and deeper integration of the lessons left unresolved.

The rise of social media platforms like Friendster, Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter began to transform global communication, creating a sense of interconnectedness aligned with Piscean ideals. The release of Al Gore's documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" in 2006 brought climate change to the forefront of public consciousness, prompting a collective call to address environmental issue; a reflection of Virgo's concern for the Earth and Pisces' universal compassion.

As we move into 2025, the digital landscape mirrors the evolving tides of accountability and care. In November 2024, the Australian Parliament made a bold move, passing legislation that prohibits individuals under the age of 16 from accessing platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter). This groundbreaking decision aims to safeguard young people’s mental health, shielding them from harmful content and the risks tied to online interactions.

This moment marks a turning point in the global conversation around technology, security, and connection. While social media has long been a space for dissolving boundaries and fostering interconnectedness — a Piscean dream — it also carries the shadows of unchecked influence and exploitation. The Virgo energy in this dialogue demands discernment, accountability, and action, reminding us that protecting our collective well-being sometimes requires difficult choices.

This shift asks us to consider the balance: How do we honor the expansive potential of digital connection while creating systems that prioritize care and safety? The answers lie in holding both - the vision of what could be and the work of making it sustainable. While Pisces seeks to dissolve boundaries, Virgo reminds us of the need for discernment and accountability, even in spaces designed to unite us.

In recent years, I’ve focused my social media presence primarily on Instagram, intentionally scaling back how much I post and engage. While I won't predict whether TikTok will be banned in the USA, I chose not to invest in building a presence there. For me, TikTok, while excellent for building virtual connections, raised concerns about foundational and security issues that made its long-term future in the USA feel uncertain. Until this is decided, I'll keep my posting on TikTok minimally selective.

Now, as 2025 begins, I’m creating systems (Virgo) to engage that feel empowering rather than depleting. It’s about creating systems that support my energy, protect my creativity, and make space for connection and expression without burnout, or overexposure. You may find yourself walking a similar path, seeking balance between showing up and protecting your energy.

Venus Rx: March 1 in Aries and end April 12 in Pisces

Venus retrograde is a time to revisit love, relationships, and the values we hold close. Starting at 0° Aries and retreating into the dreamy waters of 24° Pisces, this retrograde will last until April 12, guiding us through a cycle of reflection and renewal. Reconsidering what we desire, what we value, and how we connect. Aries, bold and independent, demands honesty in these pursuits, while Pisces, soft and intuitive, asks us to surrender to the mysteries of love and connection. Together, they are fire and water - courage and vulnerability.

Venus in Aries is about daring to love ourselves first. But as the retrograde dips back into Pisces, asking us to soften. A reminder that boundaries and self-love must coexist with compassion and openness. During this retrograde, unresolved dynamics may resurface, offering the chance to heal and rewrite old patterns. Relationships, past and present, may ask for your attention. What remains unspoken? What needs closure, clarity, or rekindling? Aries gives you the courage to confront, and Pisces offers the grace to listen.

In the United States, this period followed the official end of the 1960–1961 recession in February 1961. Though the recession was technically over, the economy was still finding its footing. Unemployment continued to rise, peaking at 7.1% by May, reflecting the lagging effects of economic recovery. This tension—between the promise of renewal and the lingering challenges of the past—echoed the work Venus retrograde calls us to do: revisit old wounds, redefine our priorities, and build something more aligned with our truth.

The energy of 1961 wasn’t just about survival; it was about reinvention. People were breaking free from outdated societal structures, challenging what they’d been told to value, and beginning to embrace more authentic ways of being. As Venus retraces its steps over these same degrees in 2025, we’re invited to tap into a similar cosmic current. It’s a time to pause, to question what truly matters, and to align our lives with the relationships, values, and truths that feel most real to us. Unemployment might have peaked back then, but so did creativity, courage, and a willingness to reimagine the future. 

The first eclipse of the year is the Virgo lunar eclipse on March 13, a full moon amplified by the transformative energy of the nodes. Lunar eclipses represent culmination, endings, and moments of revelation. In Virgo, this eclipse sharpens our focus on the details of our lives—our habits, routines, and the systems we’ve built to support ourselves. Virgo’s energy is exacting, but its aim is healing. This eclipse may ask you to release perfectionism or let go or refine you day to day systems and rituals.

Two weeks later, the Aries solar eclipse on March 29 arrives as a supercharged new moon, igniting bold beginnings. Solar eclipses are moments of initiation, windows where new paths emerge with startling clarity. In Aries, the energy is raw, courageous, and decisive. This is a call to action, a moment to claim your independence and step into leadership. Aries doesn’t wait for perfect conditions; it leaps. This eclipse is your opportunity to light the match for something new, to pursue your desires with unapologetic confidence.

The Virgo lunar eclipse (March 13 at 23° Virgo) sweeps away the clutter, a similar eclipse occurred on March 14, 2006, at 24° Virgo. Think back to what transpired then, and how this year might bring second chances.

While the Aries solar eclipse (March 29 at 9° Aries) strikes the match of new beginnings. The last comparable eclipse took place on March 29, 2006, at 8° Aries, again look back to what themes transpired then. On March 30, Neptune moves into Aries, adding visionary fuel to the fire lit by the Aries solar eclipse. The last time Neptune transited Aries was from 1861 to 1875, a period characterized by revolutionary fervor and the pursuit of ideological causes. This is a time to pair imagination with bold action, to trust that your dreams gain power when grounded in decisive steps forward. Venus retrograde (March–April) calls you inward, to reckon with the places where love, creativity, and self-worth need a deeper, more intentional expression.

Neptune in Aries from March 30 to October 2

Neptune in Aries doesn’t linger in the haze of dreams. Aries won’t allow it. The first sign of the zodiac insists we do something with Neptune’s visions. . It asks: What ideals are you ready to fight for? What truths do you need to embody? This isn’t a time for passivity or waiting for the right moment. Neptune in Aries makes the moment now. On a personal level, this energy asks us to confront the illusions we’ve been holding onto—the fantasies that keep us from taking action. Under Aries’ influence, those illusions burn away, leaving only the raw, unvarnished truth. The question becomes: What will you do with it?

In your daily life, Neptune in Aries may look like living your spiritual beliefs. Not just meditating on peace, but acting in ways that create it. Not just dreaming of justice, but advocating for it. Not just seeking connection, but forging it with the people around you.

Globally, Neptune in Aries may ignite debates over sovereignty, freedom, and justice, echoing the struggles of the 1860s in new forms.  The last transit from 1861 to 1875 encompassed events such as the American Civil War. It was the first war to be extensively documented through photography, bringing the grim realities of conflict to the public. Neptune in Aries magnifies how we see and engage with conflict. In 2025, the wars we witness are not confined to distant battlefields; they unfold in real-time, amplified by social media and modern technology. Just as the last Neptune-in-Aries transit in the 1860s brought the grim realities of the American Civil War into public view through photography, this transit plunges us into the digital-age equivalent: a 24/7 feed of conflict, struggle, and revolution. The lines between observer and participant blur as we’re called to confront our beliefs, question what’s being shown, and decide how we’ll respond.

During this era, Italy underwent a series of political and military campaigns leading to its unification. Similarly, the German states experienced a unification process under Prussian leadership, resulting in the proclamation of the German Empire in 1871. The Baltic regions — comprising present-day Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania — were under Russian imperial rule. The Russian Empire implemented policies aimed at consolidating its control and suppressing local languages, religions, and cultural practices. The Valuev Circular of 1863 restricted the publication of religious and educational texts in the Ukrainian language. Despite these oppressive measures, the period also witnessed a burgeoning Ukrainian national revival.

Expect battles over digital sovereignty, AI ethics, and the role of technology in shaping our futures. The path ahead won’t be easy. But Aries’ energy ensures you’ll have the strength to walk it. Let the fire guide you. Let it burn away the false and light up what’s real.

Saturn enters Aries from May 24 to September 1

Saturn in Aries asks us to show up with courage and clarity, even when the path ahead feels uncertain. It’s the small moments where this transit takes shape, the tough conversation you finally hav and the decision to say “yes” to yourself in a way that feels non-negotiable. Saturn in Aries rewards those who take responsibility for their lives in a way that feels daring yet disciplined. It’s about the courage to lead, even if it’s just leading yourself toward a better version of your life.

Saturn in Aries doesn’t sugarcoat anything. It’s about confronting your fears, your excuses, and the ways you’ve held yourself back. Maybe for you, this looks like setting boundaries in relationships that have grown too murky, learning to say “no” with confidence so you can prioritize what truly matters.

Reflect on the last time Saturn was in Aries, from 1996 to early 1999. Think about what was ignited for you during that time. If you were too young to remember, look to the themes of innovation and courage in your family or cultural environment. What risks were taken then? What seeds were planted that grew into the life you’re living now?

In 2025, Saturn in Aries invites you to plant new seeds with the same pioneering spirit. The world needs your leadership, your ideas, your willingness to try and fail and try again. Saturn retrogrades back into Pisces from September 2025 to February 2026, giving you time to revisit the dreams, visions, and emotional groundwork you’ve been tending to. Use this period to refine your plans and tie up loose ends. When Saturn returns to Aries in February 2026, it’s full steam ahead. So start small. Start scared. But most importantly, start.

Jupiter moves into Cancer, on June 9

On June 9, 2025, Jupiter, the planet of abundance, wisdom, and opportunity, moves into Cancer, the sign of home, belonging, and deep emotional care. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, meaning this is where it operates at its highest potential. In this sign, Jupiter’s energy is both expansive and protective, inviting us to center what nourishes us and the communities we hold dear.

This transit begins at 0° Cancer, a degree brimming with fresh potential. It asks us to return to the roots of what sustains us — our families, our homes, our emotional truths. It calls us to feel deeply, to care fiercely, and to show up for what matters most.

The last time Jupiter traveled through Cancer was in 2013–2014, a period that may have brought growth in areas related to family, security, and emotional healing. What did you nurture back then? What beginnings from that time are ready to bloom now? Jupiter in Cancer reminds us that growth doesn’t always come from striving; sometimes, it comes from resting and allowing ourselves to receive.

Jupiter in Cancer expands whatever it touches, and in this watery, nurturing sign, it emphasizes emotional intelligence, connection, and care. Over the next year, we are invited to redefine "home". Cancer reminds us that healing isn’t linear. Jupiter’s presence here gives us the courage to process old wounds, especially those from 2013-2014.

Jupiter will remain in Cancer until July 30, 2026, giving us over a year to align with this heart-centered energy. Jupiter in Cancer reminds us that expansion doesn’t always look like growth on the outside. Sometimes, it’s the deep roots we plant within ourselves and our communities that create the most lasting change.

Uranus enters Gemini July 7th

By mid-year, the winds shift. On July 7, 2025, Uranus, the planet of upheaval, innovation, and liberation, enters Gemini, the sign of communication, learning, and connection. This transit challenges the old narratives and invite us to reimagine the world, and our place in it. Uranus is here to disrupt. To shake loose the stale, the outdated, the assumptions we’ve taken for granted. Gemini’s influence sharpens this disruption, targeting how we process information, how we learn, and how we connect.

Uranus in Gemini demands you rewire your thinking, not just to understand yourself more clearly but to communicate that understanding in ways that feel revolutionary. Expect flashes of insight and conversations that open doors you didn’t know existed. How do you talk about yourself, your life, your dreams? Uranus invites you to tell a story that feels alive and unbound by the past.

Uranus in Gemini isn’t just personal, it’s societal. On a larger scale, this transit revolutionizes how we communicate and exchange information. Expect rapid advancements in technology, groundbreaking innovations in how we connect, and a rethinking of social systems built around communication, education, and media. The truth, and who controls it, will be at the center of these changes.

But with great disruption comes resistance. This is a time to question the noise, discern fact from fiction, and find your own clear voice amidst the chaos. Uranus reminds us that breakthroughs often begin as breakdowns, and Gemini shows us how to make meaning from the fragments.

The last time Uranus entered Gemini was on August 8, 1941. This transit continued through the post-World War II years, lasting until June 10, 1949, with Uranus making retrograde movements that allowed it to revisit Gemini’s early degrees multiple times. The 1940s were defined by revolutionary shifts in communication, technology, and global alliances. The war’s later years saw pivotal developments in communication, such as the use of encrypted messages and the cracking of the German Enigma code. The movie, "The Imitation Game", is a great movie that tells the story of Alan Turing, a British mathematician who played a key role in breaking the Enigma code. Uranus in Gemini coincided with groundbreaking inventions like the first computers, which revolutionized how information was processed and shared. The rise of global communication networks and alliances like the United Nations reflected Gemini’s themes of connection and collaboration.

When Uranus returns to Gemini on July 7, 2025, it echoes the revolutionary energy of the 1940s, but in a way that’s uniquely suited to our times. The rapid evolution of AI, virtual reality, and blockchain technology will likely reach new heights under this transit, reshaping how we connect and share information. Just as the United Nations emerged during the last Uranus-in-Gemini transit, this period may bring renewed focus on international partnerships to address global crises.

There are Three Mercury Rx in 2025

Each Mercury retrograde of 2025 builds on the one before it, creating a journey of personal and collective evolution.

The year begins with Mercury retrograde in Aries and Pisces (March 15–April 7). This is a call to balance fiery action with watery intuition. Aries emboldens us to act, but Pisces reminds us to feel. During this retrograde, we’re asked to confront how impulsivity may have overridden inner wisdom. This is where the story begins—by slowing down and returning to ourselves, we set the stage for what’s to come. The lesson: Reconnect with your intuition before charging forward.

In the heat of summer, Mercury retrogrades entirely in Leo (July 18–August 11), shifting the focus to self-expression, creativity, and authenticity. After the reflective waters of Pisces and the fiery urgency of Aries, Leo brings the question: What do you have to say? This chapter is about refining the ways we share our gifts with the world. We must ensure that our outward expression matches our inner truth. The lesson: Reclaim your voice.

The final act unfolds with Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius and Scorpio (November 9–29), asking us to explore our beliefs and dig into the deeper truths that shape our lives. Sagittarius invites us to question what we know and seek broader perspectives, while Scorpio demands that we face the shadows we’ve been avoiding. This retrograde is the culmination of the year’s work—a deep dive into the stories we’ve been telling ourselves and a chance to rewrite them from a place of clarity and transformation. The 2025 Mercury Rx Lesson: Challenge outdated beliefs and align with your deeper truths.

• Retrograde Ends: April 7, 2025 (26°49 Pisces)
• Post-Shadow Ends: April 26, 2025 (9°35 Aries)

The first Mercury retrograde of 2025 begins in fiery Aries, a sign known for its boldness and decisiveness, before slipping back into the dreamy, intuitive waters of Pisces. This is a call to revisit our actions, particularly where impulsivity has overshadowed intuition. Aries pushes for immediate results, while Pisces reminds us to pause, reflect, and trust the unseen. The cazimi moment on March 24 offers a rare window of clarity amidst the confusion, pay attention to insights around this time.

Expect miscommunications to revolve around issues of self-expression (Aries) and emotional undercurrents (Pisces).

• Retrograde Ends: August 11, 2025 (4°14 Leo)
• Post-Shadow Ends: August 25, 2025 (15°34 Leo)

The midsummer retrograde occurs entirely in Leo, a sign that rules creativity, self-expression, and leadership. Mercury in Leo amplifies our desire to speak from the heart and take center stage, but when retrograde, it demands a rethink of how we project ourselves into the world. Themes of pride, authenticity, and recognition are likely to surface. Are you being true to yourself, or are you playing a role for the applause?

The cazimi moment on July 31 brings clarity and inspiration - creative breakthroughs are possible, but they may require revisiting past projects or ideas. Be mindful of ego-driven conflicts during this time. Use the retrograde to reconnect with your passion.

• Retrograde Ends: November 29, 2025 (20°42 Scorpio)
• Post-Shadow Ends: December 16, 2025 (6°51 Sagittarius)

The final Mercury retrograde of the year starts in adventurous Sagittarius, a sign of expansive thinking and exploration, and retrogrades into penetrating Scorpio, a sign that delves into the depths of truth and transformation. This transit asks us to reevaluate our beliefs and the stories we tell ourselves about our lives. Sagittarius urges us to seek new perspectives, while Scorpio demands we confront the shadows that keep us from living authentically.

The cazimi on November 20 brings a moment of piercing clarity, especially around emotional or psychological patterns that have been hidden from view. Truths revealed during this retrograde may feel intense, but they hold the key to impactful transformation. Use this time to revise plans, deepen understanding, and shed what no longer serves.

The four eclipses of 2025

Eclipses are the universe’s way of speeding up time, of showing us what we need to see—even if we’d rather not. They bring fated shifts, karmic reckonings, and sudden clarity. Together, they create a story about letting go, stepping into our truth, and embracing the messy, beautiful work of becoming.

• March 14: A total lunar eclipse in Virgo
• March 29: A partial solar eclipse in Aries 
• September 7: A total lunar eclipse in Pisces
• September 21: A partial solar eclipse in Virgo

March 14: Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo

This is where it begins. The first eclipse of the year shines a spotlight on the details we’ve been avoiding. Virgo’s energy is sharp, discerning, and unapologetically focused on what works and what doesn’t. Under this total lunar eclipse, the cracks in our systems are illuminated. The routines, relationships, or beliefs we’ve clung to out of comfort or fear—they’re all up for review. Virgo doesn’t just ask us to release; it demands we clean house.

The last time we experienced an eclipse like this was March 2007. Think back: What systems in your life broke down then? What truths were too loud to ignore? This eclipse is a continuation of that story.

March 29: Partial Solar Eclipse in Aries

Two weeks later, Aries charges in with its fiery, unrelenting energy. This solar eclipse pulls our cravings, passions, and instincts into sharp focus. Aries doesn’t wait for permission. This is a moment to trust the primal part of yourself that knows exac​​tly what it wants. desires can be messy, and they don’t always make sense. This eclipse asks, “What are you hungry for? And are you brave enough to pursue it?” Look back to April 2007, when a similar Aries eclipse lit the sky. Where did you hold back? This is your chance to move forward with the fire you didn’t fully harness last time.

September 7: A total lunar eclipse in Pisces

On September 7, a total lunar eclipse in Pisces clears the slate, realigns our paths, and reveals truths we’ve long avoided. Pisces, the poet and mystic of the zodiac, dissolves the barriers between the seen and unseen. This eclipse is a call to reconnect with the romance of life—not just the sweeping, cinematic moments, but the beauty tucked into everyday existence. The way the morning light hits your favorite coffee mug. The sound of a loved one’s laugh. The dreams you nurture in the quiet moments between obligations. But Pisces energy can be slippery, lulling us into escapism if we’re not careful. This eclipse asks us to discern the difference between fantasies that inspire and those that distract. Are you chasing a dream that expands your spirit, or avoiding a reality that needs your attention? Your dreams don’t have to be grand to be transformative. They just have to be yours.

September 21: Partial Solar Eclipse in Virgo

We close out the eclipse season back in Virgo. If Pisces is the dream, Virgo is the action plan. This solar eclipse asks us to get real about what’s holding us back. Virgo energy is about getting real with ourselves. It’s a sign that doesn’t sugarcoat the truth or shy away from what’s uncomfortable. Instead, it rolls up its sleeves and gets to work. This solar eclipse is a call to confront what’s holding you back. What habits, fears, or excuses are keeping you small? Virgo asks for grounded, intentional steps toward releasing them.

While Aries and Pisces have guided us to dream boldly and trust deeply, Virgo brings us back to earth with its steady wisdom. It teaches us that the magick isn’t in wishing, it’s in the doing. Growth doesn’t unfold in a straight line; it spirals, circling back to old lessons so we can meet them with new strength.

Aries and Pisces push us to dream and desire, to leap and trust. Virgo brings us back to earth, teaching us how to ground those dreams in reality. Together, these eclipses remind us that growth isn’t linear, it’s cyclical.

If 2007 was a chapter, 2025 is the sequel. What’s different now is you. You have more tools, more wisdom, and more courage. These eclipses are here to guide you, but the choice is always yours.

The Equinoxes and Solstices of 2025

Eclipses are crossroads where light and dark, action and stillness, meet and exchange their wisdom. 

March 20: The Spring Equinox & Aries Season

The Spring Equinox is a moment of perfect balance between day and night — a pause before the scales tip toward light in the Northern Hemisphere. This is the start of Aries season and the astrological new year, a cosmic reset button that ignites our personal and collective fire. Aries is the spark that sets the wheel of the zodiac into motion. Its fire is unfiltered, unapologetic, and alive. What are you ready to begin? What do you desire so fiercely that it can’t be ignored? As we step into this new cycle, the equinox reminds us to honor what we're leaving behind and the momentum we’re stepping into.

June 20: The Summer Solstice & Cancer Season

The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere - a celebration of light, abundance, and fullness. It ushers in Cancer season, a time to turn inward even as the sun shines brightly. Cancer teaches us to nurture ourselves and others, to prioritize home, and to create spaces where we feel safe and seen.

This solstice is a call to root deeply. What do you need to feel supported? How can you protect your energy while embracing the season of growth and expansion? The solstice invites us to revel in the warmth of the sun while remembering the power of rest, reflection, and emotional nourishment.

September 22: The Autumn Equinox & Libra Season

As the Autumn Equinox arrives, we once again find balance—this time tipping toward darkness in the Northern Hemisphere. Libra season begins, ushering in themes of harmony, partnership, and justice. This equinox is a moment to pause and assess. What is out of alignment in your life? Where do you need to restore equilibrium?

Libra reminds us that balance isn’t about perfection; it’s about navigating the ongoing pull between extremes. This equinox is an opportunity to realign—to embrace the beauty of imperfection and the art of compromise. As the days grow shorter, we’re invited to turn our focus inward, preparing for the slower, more introspective energy of winter.

December 21: The Winter Solstice & Capricorn Season

The Winter Solstice marks the darkest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, a time of stillness and reflection. Capricorn season begins, offering us the structure and discipline to build on the lessons of the past year. This solstice is a moment of quiet power, a reminder that even in the darkest times, there is potential for growth.

Capricorn’s grounded energy helps us focus on long-term goals and practical steps. What legacy do you want to create? How can you honor the work it takes to bring your dreams into reality? The Winter Solstice is a celebration of resilience, a time to honor the light within as we prepare for its gradual return.

Aries (March 21st - April 19th) & Aries Rising

​​2025 invites you to work with your drive in ways that honor both your ambition and your well-being. The North Node in Pisces activates your subconscious and spiritual growth, urging you to trust your intuition and explore unseen realms. Practices like meditation, dreamwork, or creative outlets will help you access this energy. The South Node in Virgo challenges you to release perfectionism in your daily habits and routines. Where can you invite more flow into your structured life? You start the year with Mars retrograde in Leo and Cancer (December 6, 2024 – February 23, 2025), urging you to pause and reconsider your creative spark and emotional reserves.  Mars is your ruler, and this retrograde brings your energy inward. In Leo, it asks: What creative fires have you ignored? What creative risks or emotional challenges were you facing in late 2007? Did fear hold you back? This is your moment to reclaim your courage and with the wisdom you’ve gained and choose differently this time. When Mars shifts into Cancer, the focus moves to your foundation. Are you building a life that supports your dreams, or are you running on empty? True power doesn’t come from constant motion. It comes from knowing when to pause, when to rest, when to listen. Around January 2, Mars Rx (1°08 Leo) opposes Pluto (1°08 Aquarius)—notice if you’re pushing too hard or clashing with external power structures. By January 6, Mars enters Cancer, asking you to nurture your inner fire rather than forcing yourself into overdrive. The focus shifts to emotional reserves. This might show up as feeling unusually sensitive or easily drained, particularly if you’ve been ignoring your need for rest. Daily acts of self-care, like cooking a nourishing meal, spending quiet evenings at home, or connecting with loved ones, will help replenish your energy. Watch for moments when you feel like you “should” be doing more; this retrograde teaches that rest is a necessary part of sustaining your drive.

March and April bring opportunities for self-discovery, especially around relationships and personal goals. With Venus retrograde starting in your sign, March and April are all about rediscovering your worth. Old relationship dynamics may resurface, offering a chance to heal and rewrite the script. On a day-to-day level, this might look like receiving a message from an ex or being asked to revisit an old project at work. Instead of jumping to react, use this time to reflect on patterns. Are you giving too much without receiving in return? Are you fully recognizing the value of your contributions? Mid-March marks a significant turning point: the March 13 total lunar eclipse (23°56 Virgo) encourages you to refine the rhythms in your daily life, while the partial solar eclipse (9°00 Aries) on March 29 celebrates fresh starts in your personal goals. On March 30, Neptune enters Aries, beginning a visionary chapter that asks you to dream bigger about who you’re becoming. By May 24, when Saturn enters Aries, you’re invited to ground these visions in concrete plans. And don’t forget: Jupiter entering Cancer (June 9) expands your capacity for emotional growth—reflect on how home and family (chosen or otherwise) can be a source of your greatest strength this year.

Each Mercury retrograde in 2025 asks you to slow down and tune into different facets of your life. Mercury retrograde in Aries and Pisces (March 15–April 7); Aries’ fire meets Pisces’ tides, forcing you to slow and listen before acting. Summer’s retrograde in Leo places the spotlight on your authenticity—are you living your truth or just performing for the crowd? By November, Sagittarius and Scorpio drag your beliefs and motivations into the underworld, exposing what drives you. This year, you sharpen your instincts through tempered action.

Taurus (April 19th - May 20th) & Taurus Rising

The year unfolds like a slow-turning wheel, each Mercury retrograde loosening your grip on the familiar. March’s Mercury Retrograde in Aries and Pisces erodes rigid plans, teaching you to trust the unseen currents. By summer, Mercury Rx in Leo challenges you to craft a life that reflects your creativity and worth. November’s Mercury Rx in Sagittarius and Scorpio digs into your hidden fears, shifting how you view security and value. What once seemed immovable begins to change.

The year kicks off with Mars Rx.  Mars Rx in Leo asks you to examine the home you’ve created - physically and emotionally. Is it a true reflection of who you are, or have you settled for what feels safe? In 2007, what shifted in your relationships or home life? Did you choose comfort over growth, security over risk? Look back, not to dwell, but to see what was left behind. There may be something - or someone - you need to reclaim. The lesson isn’t in regret; it’s in recognizing that you didn't know then what you know now. In Cancer, the energy shifts to your voice. Are you speaking your truth, or holding back? Transformation doesn’t have to be loud. It’s in the quiet shifts, the moments when you choose honesty over comfort. Then lunar nodes moving into Pisces and Virgo (January 11), nudging you to explore how creativity and community can merge in your life. Collaborate with like-minded people to achieve shared goals. The South Node in Virgo asks you to let go of overanalyzing your creative work and perfectionism in self-expression. Trust that your voice is enough.

Venus retrograde in Aries and Pisces (March 1–April 12) pulls you into your subconscious, asking you to confront buried desires and unresolved emotions. Day-to-day, this could look like vivid dreams, nostalgic memories resurfacing, or a sudden craving for solitude. Use this time to reflect and release what no longer serves your emotional well-being. Meanwhile, your sign hosts some monumental moments: May 17 brings a potent Uranus cazimi (27°17 Taurus), which can spark revelations about how you define security and self-worth. Feel into your body’s signals; they’ll tell you if a path is truly right for you. Watch for breakthroughs in finances or life direction. Then, as Uranus continues its forward-then-retrograde motion (re-entering Taurus on November 7), you’ll master the art of graceful change. Venus, your ruling planet, retrogrades March 1st through your house of the subconscious, asking you to reflect on hidden desires and unresolved emotions. Take this moment to let go of old wounds. Through it all, Venus retrograde in Aries and Pisces (March 1 – April 12) asks you to reclaim a more restful relationship to ambition, while the September 7 total lunar eclipse (15°22 Pisces) helps illuminate the friendships and social goals that align most with your values. Through all these shifts, Taurus, 2025 asks you to embrace the balance between stability and evolution. Trust that change is not a threat.

Gemini (May 20th - June 20th) & Gemini Rising

As Mercury’s favorite child, these retrogrades hold major lessons for you. The Mercury retrograde in Aries and Pisces (March 15–April 7) strikes at the heart of how you express yourself. In March, Aries’ boldness meets Pisces’ subtlety, urging you to refine the way you convey your thoughts. This retrograde is echoed by the North Node in Pisces, which calls you to pursue a career path that feels intuitively right, even if it looks unconventional. Your work doesn’t need to fit anyone’s mold—it only needs to resonate with your soul. Meanwhile, the South Node in Virgo urges you to release perfectionism at home. Stop obsessing over the small details of daily life and focus instead on stability. Leo’s retrograde in the summer calls you to showcase your creativity without sacrificing authenticity. Finally, Sagittarius and Scorpio in November reveal the truths lurking in your relationships and partnerships. Each retrograde offers a chance to refine your voice and align your words with your inner wisdom.

The North Node in Pisces calls you to pursue a more meaningful career path, one rooted in intuition and connection. Trust that your work doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s—it just needs to feel aligned with your soul. The South Node in Virgo encourages you to release rigidity at home. Stop overanalyzing the details of your personal life and focus on cultivating emotional stability.  Mars retrograde in Leo turns the spotlight on your voice. Are you using your words to forge real connections, or are they a distraction, filling the silence with noise? Think back to late 2007. What conversations defined that time for you? What choices about how you spent your energy, your talents, or your time left a mark? Those moments are here again, not to repeat, but to guide you. The lessons you gained then are tools now. Realign with your truth. Speak and act in a way that feels unmistakably yours. As Mars moves into Cancer, it asks deeper questions about your values. Mars retrograde continues to bring a shake-up to your financial and value systems through February 23, with a spotlight on January 2, when Mars opposes Pluto. This tension may highlight imbalances around money or shared resources, urging you to reconsider what truly sustains you. By May 18, Jupiter in Gemini squares the lunar nodes, inviting a deeper look at how your personal growth aligns with your daily routines and partnerships.

The breakthrough comes on May 29, when a Mercury cazimi (9°01 Gemini) illuminates your communication style. This is your moment to speak with authenticity and clarity—your words have the power to open doors now. Then on July 7, Uranus enters Gemini, sparking a surge of inventive self-expression and redefining how you see yourself. Sudden insights and shifts in identity are likely, so stay flexible as you navigate this electrifying energy.

Then, on July 7, Uranus enters Gemini, initiating a seven-year cycle of reinvention. This is a period of exciting self-discovery and innovative expression. Sudden insights about who you are and what you stand for will reshape your identity. Stay open to change, as this electrifying energy invites you to embrace your most authentic self. The latter half of the year focuses on refining your brilliance. Mercury retrograde in Leo (July 17–August 11) asks you to slow down and streamline how you share your ideas. Use this period to polish your messaging and ensure that your communication resonates with purpose and precision.

Gemini, 2025 is your year to shine as the adaptable, curious visionary you are. Trust your voice, lean into your creativity, and let the transformations guide you to a version of yourself that feels both exciting and true. This is your canvas, paint boldly.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22nd) & Cancer Rising

The year demands you master the art of navigating shifting tides. March’s Mercury Retrograde in Aries and Pisces pulls you into deep reflection, balancing instinct with intuition. Leo in the summer asks you to take up space, owning your worth without apology. November’s Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius and Scorpio dives into the roots of your beliefs, shaking loose the stories that no longer serve. Through the year’s journey, you’ll learn that vulnerability is your superpower.

The North Node in Pisces inspires you to expand your worldview through spiritual exploration, travel, or higher learning. What truths call to you? The South Node in Virgo challenges you to let go of overthinking your words. Speak from the heart, even if it feels imperfect. Communication doesn’t need to be polished—it needs to be real.  Mars retrograde in Leo calls you to reclaim your worth. Are you living in alignment with your value, or are you shrinking to fit someone else’s narrative? Think back to late 2007. What emotional currents were pulling at you? What shifts in how you saw yourself began to surface? This moment invites you to step back into those waters—not to relive the struggle, but to reclaim the truth you couldn’t hold then. This is your chance to honor who you’ve become and embrace the evolution that’s still unfolding. When Mars moves into your sign, it asks you to tend to your emotional roots. As Mars retrograde enters your sign on January 6, dialing up your sensitivity and calling you to address lingering frustrations before February 23. Around March 13, the total lunar eclipse in Virgo restructures your daily routines, reminding you that self-care is the foundation for everything else. Come June 9, Jupiter enters Cancer, ushering in a year of expanded confidence and heart-driven opportunities — think: new career paths or personal growth projects that nourish you deeply.

Leo (July 23rd - Aug 22nd) & Leo Rising

The stage is yours in 2025, but first, Mercury retrograde invites you to fine-tune your act. March’s retrograde in Aries and Pisces questions the foundation of your boldness—does it spring from alignment or impulsiveness? By summer, Mercury retrogrades in your sign, asking whether your public self matches your private truths. November’s Sagittarius-Scorpio retrograde forces you to wrestle with hidden motivations. The question: Are you leading with integrity, or is the roar louder than the substance?

The North Node in Pisces asks you to surrender to the mystery of intimacy and shared resources. What relationships or investments feel worth trusting? The South Node in Virgo challenges you to release your grip on material security. Your worth isn’t defined by what you have, but by what you give and receive.  Mars retrograde begins in your sign, and it’s deeply personal. It asks you to strip away the masks, the performances, the need to prove yourself. Who were you becoming in late 2007? Were you stepping into your power, or were you holding back, unsure of your own light? The questions from that time are resurfacing now, asking for clarity, for truth. This is your moment to refine what was raw, to strip away what isn’t real, and to show up fully as the person you’re meant to be. Mars retrograde in Leo (through January 6) asks you to reevaluate old patterns around energy output and self-assertion. Around January 2, when Mars Rx opposes Pluto, you may confront power dynamics that need shifting — practice taking bold action without stepping on others’ toes. Throughout spring, Venus retrograde in Aries and Pisces (March 1 – April 12) steers you to examine your deepest beliefs and how they shape your life’s direction. Then, brace for a second round of tension on April 26, when Mars (3°48 Leo) again opposes Pluto (3°48 Aquarius)—it’s a cosmic retest of the lessons you gleaned in January. By July 17 – August 11, Mercury retrograde in Leo nudges you to refine how you speak your truth — fewer words, but more heart. The year’s key lesson? Your creative brilliance soars when it’s rooted in mutual respect and a healthy dose of humility.

Virgo (Aug 23rd - Sept 22nd) & Virgo Rising

Mercury’s retrogrades rearrange the inner architecture of your life. March’s Mercury Rx mix of Aries and Pisces interrupts your routines, urging you to surrender control and lean into intuition. Leo’s Mercury Rx retrograde in the summer highlights how you share your talents with the world—are you hiding behind perfectionism? November’s Sagittarius-Scorpio Mercury Retrograde delves into your worldview, urging you to leave outdated systems behind. The year strips away the unnecessary, sharpening what remains.

We start the year with Mars Rx.  Mars retrograde in Leo highlights themes of power and control. What are you holding onto that no longer serves you? What emotional or relational patterns surfaced in late 2007? If betrayal has touched your life, this retrograde asks: Are you holding onto resentment or mistrust as a form of self-protection? What would it feel like to release the pain; not to excuse the past, but to reclaim your power? This is your invitation to move differently. Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s the courage to show up without armor, to let connection transform you. When Mars moves into Cancer, the focus shifts to your partnerships. Are you building relationships on a foundation of trust, or are you clinging to control? The lunar nodes entering Pisces and Virgo on January 11, highlight your relationships, urging you to trust and lean into partnership. Not everything can be planned—some things require faith. The South Node in Virgo asks you to let go of self-critical tendencies. You don’t need to fix everything to deserve love. Show up as you are and let others meet you there. The March 13 total lunar eclipse (23°56 Virgo) encourages a purge of unhelpful self-critiques, so that you can honor the wholeness of who you are. March is particularly loaded: on March 14 – April 7, Mercury retrograde in Aries and Pisces pushes you to heal misunderstandings and reorganize shared resources. Meanwhile, the partial solar eclipse in Aries on March 29 calls for a fresh start in financial or emotional entanglements. By September 7, the total lunar eclipse in Pisces reshapes your closest connections; relationships that can’t stand the heat will likely need to transform or end, clearing space for deeper, soul-aligned connections. Allow yourself the grace to evolve in every direction you need.

Leo’s summer Mercury retrograde beckons you to step into your creative power without seeking external validation. November’s Mercury  Rx journey through Sagittarius and Scorpio compels you to reassess the beliefs that shape your partnerships. Growth lies in embracing tension without losing your center.

By summer, Mercury’s retrograde in Leo challenges you to bring your grand vision into alignment with how you show up in the world. Does your public face reflect the truth of your inner fire? By November, when the retrograde lands in your sign and Scorpio, the journey turns deeply personal. You’re asked to examine the beliefs that shape your life and confront the shadows you’ve ignored.

The North Node in Pisces calls you to find emotional grounding and sanctuary, whether through your physical home or your inner world. The South Node in Virgo encourages you to let go of rigid expectations in your career. Your professional success will flow more easily when you create space for self-nurturing.
