〰️ Happy Astrological New Year! 〰️
A Super New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries! Happy Astrological New Year! “I am not who I was.” A current sentiment moving through the field of the sky story.
This is the most powerful week of the year for initiating new beginnings! You don’t need to know exactly what’s coming but you do need to be ready for change. This week amplifies the ongoing 2025 theme of “new beginnings.” This week ushers in one of the biggest energy waves of the decade as Neptune moves into 0° Aries (after 14 years in Pisces). Think about how this may be manifesting in your own life.
Neptune works subtly, influencing areas gradually and often invisibly. A powerful wave of spiritual consciousness is taking root that is more about individual empowerment and living deeply aligned with one’s soul purpose. It’s a time of strong spiritual and creative currents, where the boldness of Aries can help manifest dreams into realities.
The Soul Train is rapidly gaining momentum! Are you on board?
The Equinox, as a time of balance and renewal, is a powerful moment in the year, symbolizing equal day and night, and offering an opportunity to reset and rebalance. This season is about taking your seeds of intention and nurturing them into existence with your actions and beliefs. Even when challenges arise, or when the path isn’t clear, our faith motivates us on. It’s about believing in the unseen power of your soul, trusting that the steps you take will lead you where you need to go.
With intense wonder, Aries ushers in the start of a cycle that carries tremendous hope. Not the wishful thinking kind, but the type of hope that does all the heavy lifting, remedies doubt, and lets all the magic through! Here we learn that action is a path to self-discovery. It’s about connecting to one’s power and being in the expression of it. It’s about taking up space!
The concept of “taking up space” is particularly resonant with Aries. This isn’t just a physical expression but a metaphorical one as well. To take up space is to claim a right to exist as you are, to voice your thoughts, and to pursue your desires without apology. It’s a powerful stance against any societal or internalized messages suggesting you should shrink yourself.
More than ever in history, the revolution is being led by women, and through this feminine rising, balance is being restored in relationships. Each action and each decision to occupy space facilitates personal growth and transformation. Encouraging not just the recognition of one’s identity but its expansion and evolution through the experiences that action brings. This dynamic energy leads to a state of becoming.
If we want to “be someone else” or live through a different experience or identity, then inevitably, we are required to go through the hero’s journey and be initiated through the very act of transcending our own fear; the fear that keeps us anchored in the very identity that we wish to leave behind. This time calls for practicing self-leadership. You are the only YOU, and you are the only one who can be and create as you do!
With not only Venus but Mercury also in retrograde, the truth will come more clear this week. Venus retrograde conjunct the North Node of the Moon suggests a significant karmic time for relationships, values, and finances. The decisions made this week will affect the “future,” and essentially, we are being called now to think in that direction. Pay attention to who or what opportunities are presented; they may represent the choice of a lifetime.
Then, as Venus Retrograde joins Saturn, you may feel the need to review, redefine, and establish commitments, both in terms of relationships and finances. It’s a period to think deeply about what truly matters to you. Saturn’s influence demands sincerity and often enforces a kind of “reality check,” which can make this a sobering yet ultimately significant time that leads to success.
Decisions made now are likely to have long-lasting effects. Saturn’s involvement means that these decisions must be approached with maturity and foresight. Use the energy of Venus Retrograde conjunct Saturn to let go of commitments that no longer serve you or to redefine the boundaries within them. Rushed decisions or avoiding the hard truths could prolong the challenges or result in missed opportunities for growth. Take responsibility!
Chiron, the Wounded Healer, is ready to enter the room with a powerful message on the upcoming Full Moon. This is an invitation for us all to lead with love in relationships, especially with self, and allow your vulnerability to finally stand proud, not ashamed, of the burdens you’ve carried, for they are your medicine and your strength.
This is the heart of a warrior energy, and in some way, each one of us will be called to harness that power from within.
