Tag: Change
How’s the eclipse energy been treating you? Last week may have been a game-changing week for you. Either way there is something that you’re supposed to be learning right now, Are you learning it? If you’re not you may be pushed outside of your comfort zone this week.
You’re On An Adventure
It can be really easy when life just seems tough and you wonder which shoe is going to drop next to remember that life is an adventure and that’s why you’re here. After the challenges of the last few weeks, this week is a reminder to be optimistic and try new things.
It can be easy to think that you have it all figured out and then life throws you a curveball. You may even wonder if you knew anything at all. Everyone has been there at one time or another. Approach your adventure with an open mind and see where it leads you.The Aries energy of beginnings and adventure will figure heavily into this week’s energy. Mercury in Aries will Conjunct Chiron in Aries on March 26 at 2:58 pm. Has there been something that you’ve wanted to say and you haven’t been able to say it? This may be the time to start a new conversation. Mercury in Aries then has a conversation with Jupiter on March 28 at 2;50 am. Try something new. Learn something new. Jupiter likes to go big, so this may be the time for you to go big.
Venus in Taurus Conjuncts Uranus in Taurus on March 30 at 6:26 pm. What do you love? What do you value? There may be a sudden epiphany here that a direction you’ve been headed in may not have been totally right for you. It’s ok to change directions in life, it happens to all of us.
Life doesn’t always take you in a straight line. Something that you think should take a few moments can take years. There is no right or wrong on this journey. There is only you and what are you learning. Take a new step this week.

Reflection and Wisdom
The month of March is full of planets changing signs. Saturn is moving into Pisces on March 7 at 8:35 am. Chapters are coming to a close. Change is on its way or may already be here. You don’t always have a say in the changes that are going to happen, but if you could, what would you do?
Saturn is a planet of Commitment, Discipline, and Maturity, while Pisces is a sign of compassion, empathy, and spirituality. Saturn is moving out of its rulership into the ocean, where it will be uncomfortable. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and can encompass the lessons of all of the previous signs. So what have you been doing since April 7, 1996, when Saturn last moved out of Pisces? This could give you some clues as to your focus.Its important as chapters come to a close to take time to reflect and examine what you’ve learned. My family experienced a death last week. An actual ending to a life. What does life now look like for those left behind? What did she teach us while she was here? Those answers will come soon enough, but for now, it’s important to experience grief so that we can begin to move through the map of consciousness (Shame, Guilt, Apathy, Grief, Fear, Desire, Anger, Pride, Courage, Neutrality, Willingness, Acceptance, Reason, Love, Joy, Peace, Enlightenment).
It would be nice to say that you can skip over the pain in life, but if you’re truly living, it’s impossible. It’s important to love and laugh. Get in touch with your Pisces side and have some compassion for yourself and empathy for those around you. Endings are challenging, but they also contain wisdom that can help move you forward into the next chapter. If you need to, take some time to reflect on the ending. Change is almost here.

Turning A Corner
It’s nearing the end of February. Change is in the air. The end of a chapter is upon you. How you choose to end that chapter is entirely upon you. Do you turn left or do you go right? There’s no right or wrong answer, but the answer could determine the beginning of your next chapter.
Venus leaves the sign of Pisces and enters Aries on February 20 at 2:56 am. Venus has completed her annual cycle through the signs and is ready to begin again. She’s eager and spontaneous. She’s ready to get going. What’s next?Mercury in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus on February 21 at 5:22 pm. Uranus in Taurus has been changing our collective landscape. You can see this transformation at the grocery store. What products are currently in short supply? It can be different each time you go. Mercury in Aquarius is bringing a sense of challenge to Uranus in Taurus. How do you see the future? Can it be a better place for everyone? What do you need to feel safe and secure in a new environment?
The month of March will shift with sign changes of Mercury, Saturn, Venus, Sun, Pluto, and Mars. That’s a lot of energy-shifting gears. With both Saturn and Pluto changing signs, chapters will be ending and beginning. A new area of your life will be highlighted. A new corner is right around the horizon. Do you leap now or do you leap later? There’s no right or wrong answer, but sometimes if you wait to take the leap, the universe will give you a shove.
It's not fun when the universe has to push you. Your ending is often more dramatic than it needed to be, but the universe needed to get your attention somehow. Try to take the leap on your own. It’s time to turn the corner.

Polarity of Needs
Have you ever noticed that sometimes just when you decide that it’s time for you to take some time for yourself, some need comes along that directs your attention in another way? That may happen when the Full Moon in Leo arrives on February 5 at 1;29 pm.
The Moon in Leo is all about having fun and wants the attention to be focused on you and your needs, but the Sun in Aquarius is more focused on the needs of others, your family, your friends, or just the collective at large. Are you the type of person that puts your needs last? Maybe it’s because you’re a mother and that’s expected. Or maybe you’re the type of person that has a hard time speaking up for themselves and thinks that what you want isn’t as important as what others want or need. The truth is that it doesn’t really matter what the reason is, but the fact that you put yourself after others’ needs are met.
There’s nothing that says this dynamic is going to change overnight, but it has to start somewhere in order for it to change. In order for you to give to others, you must have the energy to give. I’m guessing that’s not always the case for you. You may even feel like you’re running on fumes. So today let’s start and give it to you. What do you want? Maybe you want to read a book, take a walk, exercise, eat healthier, the list goes on and on of possible options. Pick one thing that you want for yourself today and give yourself permission to do it. There’s nothing wrong with taking time for yourself.
Mercury will move out of the sign of Capricorn and enter the sign of Aquarius on February 11 at 6:22 am. Mercury will speak more logically, analytically, and detachedly for the next zodiacal period. It’s time to think things through. How can you work with what you want and need to help meet the needs of others wants and needs? There must be a logical solution. Sometimes you just need to think outside of the box and the Aquarius energy loves to think outside of the box. Aquarius energy is great for looking into the future and coming up with different possibilities. Harness the energy and use it to your advantage.

I Like To Move It
Are you ready? It’s time to move forward on whatever you’ve been working on. The last of the planets, Uranus, stations direct this week on January 22 at 5:59 pm. For about the next 90 days, there will be no retrograde planets in the sky. So, is something still holding you back from taking that step?
Uranus in Taurus has been demonstrating to you what is of value to you and it’s about to shift course. It’s going to revisit the steps that you’ve been taking since late August. How can that item or items in your life become something that is of value to you.? What do you value? If you’re unsure it could all of a sudden become clear to you.
Also on January 22 at 5:13 pm, Venus in Aquarius conjuncts Saturn in Aquarius. Venus is checking in with Saturn one last time for the next 30 years. How are the rules stopping you from something that you love? Is there a way around those limitations? Do you need to get out of your head and speak from your heart? Only you truly know the answers to these questions, but it may be time to stop second-guessing yourself and see where it leads.
Venus will enter the sign of Pisces on January 26 at 9:33 pm. Venus is going to stop overthinking and start to feel. This may be your chance to enter your heart space and let it show you what you want. Pisces can also be the sign of romanticizing and daydreaming, so keep that in mind as you make decisions.

Running In Idle
Mars stationed direct last week, so why am I still in limbo? Mercury and Uranus are still retrograde and clarifying the situation, but things will move a little bit more when Mercury in Capricorn stations to go direct on January 18 at 8:12 am.
How has this Mercury retrograde been for you? Have you been getting little fixes and clarifications or are you getting some major downloads? That depends on you and whether you’ve been doing the work. Pluto is nearing the end of its stay in Capricorn and is having its last communications with Mercury before it signs off. Have you been adjusting your structures? Are there any additional changes that need to be made? Pluto wants to know. The Sun in Capricorn is checking in one last time with Pluto in Capricorn on January 18 at 9:44 am. Pay attention to the necessary changes this week. Uranus will station direct on January 22 and then there will be no retrograde planets. It’s almost time!
The Sun will enter Aquarius on January 20 at 3:30 am. It’s time to start thinking ahead and become more intellectual and logical about your plans.
Sometimes in order to go forwards you have to look back. It’s something that you’d probably prefer to not have to do and a lot of self-help gurus will tell you to avoid it and just have a positive mindset, but the truth is that you have to dig through the muck to find a diamond. It doesn’t just appear. Pluto transits are some of the most challenging transits that you will face, but you’re meant to walk away with something at the end. Over the next few months, you will begin to see what Pluto in Capricorn has taught you about yourself. There will be an adjustment period when Pluto retrogrades (May 1 to October 10), but you’re nearing the end of the finish line in some area of your life. What do you still need to do? This is the time to get clarity and plan for those edits. Waiting doesn’t always make it better, it can sometimes be harder. Just rip off the band-aid and see what happens.

New Year, New You
Wow! It’s another year already. Time seems to fly sometimes. There have been lots of changes over the last few years and 2023 will be no exception. You had some time last week to reflect on the past year. Now, what do you want to do with that information? If you aren’t already making changes, are you ready to make them now?
The first transit of 2023 starts just after midnight at 12:25 am, when Venus in Capricorn conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn. Pluto in Capricorn has been changing our lives' structures since 2009 and is getting ready to move into the sign of Aquarius in a few months. Venus is checking in one more time. Does she have anything to contribute to making your structure more beautiful?
On January 2 at 11:02 am, the Sun in Capricorn squares Chiron in Aries. Are you ready to take action on changing the structure of your wounds from the past? It’s never easy to address your wounds, but it is essential to your capacity to grow. To truly become empowered, you have to go back and address the underbelly of your life. It’s easier to just keep going. You think it will just go away if you ignore it, but has it truly gone away? If you’re honest with yourself, it’s still there, isn’t it? Your biggest fears are still there waiting for you to address them. Maybe it’s time to look at them differently.
Also on January 2 at 9:09 pm, Venus enters the sign of Aquarius. Venus wants to explore the collective and examine it in a different way. Can your life be beautiful in a different way than it was before? Can you look at it from a new perspective and see the whole picture? What’s the end result that you’re striving for?
The Sun in Capricorn is also revisiting a previous conversation with Mercury when it conjuncts it again on January 7 at 7:57 am. What were you thinking about in early to mid-December? That conversation is going to be revisited
Each year has new energy and this one is no exception. You’re another year and another year wiser, but who are you? If you don’t already know, maybe this is the year to start that exploration.

Reflection
I hope you have a great holiday season! The universe is giving you the gift of reflection this week. The ability to reflect on the year that has been 2022 and what you hope to be in 2023.
Mercury goes retrograde in the sign of Capricorn on December 29 at 4:32 am and is in retrograde through January 18. You may already be feeling the impact of Mercury stationing going retrograde. It tends to start having an effect a couple of weeks before it’s the official station. Shortly after Mercury stations retrograde it has a meeting (conjunction) with Venus in Capricorn at 8:58 am. These are the only two planetary meetings this week, everything else is based on the moon which changes every 2 or so days.
As we close out the year 2022, Mercury, Mars, and Uranus will still be retrograde. These planets are emphasizing the need for reflection as the year closes out. The sign of Capricorn has provided you with many structural changes in your life over the last few years and Pluto is nearing the end of its cycle through the sign of Capricorn, which will start the shift into Aquarius in 2023. What have you built since 2009? Is it structurally sound or does it still need some changes?
As humans, we have a tendency to spend a lot of time in the past and the future and not as much time as we should in the present moment, but in this case, the universe wants you to look back and remember. Look at where you were and how far you’ve come. Looking back may sometimes be painful, but it doesn’t have to be. It could be an opportunity to remember where you’ve come from and who you are. You’re not the same person that you were at the start of 2022. You change, you move on. It’s easy to think of change as a bad thing, but it doesn’t have to be, it can just be change. Life would be boring if it was the same thing every day.
You were sent here to learn. Winston Churchill paraphrased that those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it. Don’t be one of those people. Take this week and look back on your history and be ready to move into 2023 with a clean slate.

Impulsivity vs. Patience
There will be two sign changes this week, which will demonstrate the tension between acting impulsively and having the patience to gather information before leaping to conclusions.
Jupiter will re-enter the sign of Aries on December 20 at 9:32 am. Aries is the sign of spontaneity, idealism, directness, and independence. The Sun will enter Capricorn on December 21 at 4:48 pm. Capricorn is the sign of patience, realism, practicality, and efficiency. The Sun in Capricorn will then Square Jupiter in Aries a couple of hours later at 7:50 pm creating tension between the two signs.
Which energy do you need to rely on to get you what you want? Both energies have their uses, but you can’t react both impulsively and patiently at the same time. It’s just not possible, but the energy between the two could force you to react differently than you previously have.
It’s the week leading up to Christmas. If you enter a store, you will most likely see this energy in full swing. Those people who are finishing up their shopping. They have just a few more items left to get and then they can enjoy the holidays vs. those people who haven’t started yet. The people who haven’t started yet may be looking for whatever item they can find on the shelves.
As an adult, I don’t tend to act impulsively often and in terms of Christmas shopping, I plot and plan. I’m normally done shopping right around Thanksgiving. Now I will mention that I don’t have as many items to purchase as some other people. My father has improved a lot over the years, but growing up he had one person to buy for, my mom. So on Christmas Eve, I would climb in the car and we would go to Bradlee’s and see what we could find that my mother might want. Not an ideal situation, but it's one with which many of you are probably familiar. The energy was always crazy in the stores on Christmas Eve. The energy was the same way in the grocery store when I worked there as a teenager. People race around to get every last item that they need before the stores close.
This is the energy that you’re going to see all around you. Those people who are thinking methodically. What steps do they need to take to achieve the desired result? And those people who are just grabbing whatever they can find.
