Astrology, Tarot and More

Wow, what a month! Saturn and Neptune come together in an epochal conjunction at 0° Aries, the Solar Eclipse in Aquarius signals new areas about to be shaken up, and Mercury turns retrograde.

January is a very active, energetic month! It bring the first major astrological shift of the year - Neptune enters Aries on January 26.  And, don't miss the New Moon in Capricorn! It's pure magic. 

In November, we were blessed with multiple, spectacular Grand Trines in Water.  They carry into the first week of December, but after, the astro-weather gets bumpier.  The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars all spend part of the month in Sagittarius, butting heads with Saturn and Neptune.

But, Christmas Day and New Year's Eve both bring lovely energies! Happy Holidays! 🎄

The planets are staying busy this month! 

Uranus re-enters Taurus. Jupiter goes retrograde, Saturn goes direct, and - good news - they align in an extended trine, active throughout the month.  And, as November progresses, the Sun and Venus in Scorpio join the party! 😀 

Love, finances, and just plain old luck all get a boost on specific dates through the month.  But, there is one big fly in this lovely cosmic ointment:  Mercury turns retrograde. 

October is one of the nicest months of 2025.  Pluto turns direct, Neptune retrogrades into Pisces and....drumroll....we have Grand Trines galore in the skies! The more trines, the more harmony the stars promise - in world affairs but also for initiating specific undertakings.

September is super eventful astrologically!  It brings the eclipse season, an unstable but powerful portal that can take you years into the future if it connects with your natal chart just right.  Saturn re-enters Pisces, for the last time until 2052!  And Uranus turns retrograde. 

In August, big energies of 2025 continue:  the Saturn-Neptune (near) conjunction peaks for the second time, and Uranus and Pluto are starting to align in a trine.  The world is on the brink of a massive change.  And, if these aspects connect with YOUR natal chart, you're going to have an impactful 12 months ahead! 

Mercury turns direct on August 11.  Hallelujah! And a bright and positive Venus-Jupiter conjunction arrives mid-month.   If you're a Leo, don't forget to book your Solar Return reading! 

July brings yet another big planetary shift:  Uranus temporarily enters Gemini. Considering it takes Uranus 7 years to move through a sign, this is a significant astro-event.  The first week of July brings the best energies, especially for love and romance.  After, we have to Mercury Retrograde to contend with. 

Is your head spinning yet from all the energy shifts happening this year?  Well, June is just as eventful.  Jupiter enters Cancer, and immediately starts butting heads with Saturn and Neptune in Aries. Mercury and the Sun join the tussle.  How to best work with the celestial energies this month?  Read this post!

May offers many auspicious dates for love and romance!  And, with the Sun in Taurus for part of the month, we're reminded that patience is a virtue...and that the Universe is always ready to help you with a sprinkle of magic! 

Mercury and Venus turn direct, and the heavy retrograde season of 2025 is behind us! The first week of April brims with helpful energies for business and career.  The Full Moon in Libra is fantastic for healing old romantic wounds.  There are some great dates for love and romance sprinkled through the month.  

And as always, there is more! 

March is an intense and eventful month.  Venus and Mercury both will be retrograde, overlapping for a part of the month.  In an unusual twist, they will be visiting the same signs of the Zodiac.  And so this Venus Rx brings helpful energies, actually.

The eclipse season kicks off in March, too.  And, Neptune temporarily moves into Aries! And that is a very big energy shift.
