    “While not everyone is yet aware of it, the world has been subject to unprecedented levels of mass deception ever since Neptune entered Pisces in 2011. On the high side, this transit has given rise to mass spiritual awakening, yet neither are all people awake to it.” ~ Michael O’Connor

    Tip of the Week:
    ​​

    The New Moon in Pisces on February 27 was a 5 planet stellium including Sun, Moon, Mercury, Saturn, and Neptune all in Pisces.

    The all-important Lunar North Node is also featured in this alignment, and was closely conjunct Neptune.

    Altogether this combination is indicative of high ideals and the need for vigilant scrutiny, as well as the objective of seeing through veils of deception.

    To elaborate on the North Node factor, the 18-month Nodal Cycle in Pisces/Virgo began on January 10/11. This is a quest to see the self as part of a greater whole. You need to learn mind over matter to transform your self pre-occupation into spiritual unity.

    Pisces is also associated with compassion and faith. Not blind faith mind you, but faith in the unseen, the inner dimensions that co-exist just as radio waves, wi-fi, and other frequency technologies do that surround us.

    Weekly Horoscope:

    Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

    As you head into March, you may feel like you are living in a dream, with the ongoing Piscean factor. Positively, there is some lucidity indicated by Venus in a playful and expressive placement. Yet, it remains that getting through each day might feel challenging. Perhaps not in the deeper sense, just at the surface, but maybe not. Go easy on yourself, your time is coming.

    Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

    You are not alone with feeling like you are wading through neck-deep waters. Positively, your energy levels have begun to rise again after some pretty heavy weeks. All the while, you have been called to fulfill a meaningful role beyond the norm. Have you answered, or will you? Dreams will be fulfilled, perhaps yours, but those of others for sure.

    Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

    Fresh starts in your world are a source of inspiration. While responsibilities are involved, there is something extra special germinating in your world. Some kind of birth adding to your family tree. If it is not so literal, it could be creative offspring of a more imaginative and artistic sort. Either way, extra efforts might be required, so adjust your attitude to meet the demand.

    Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

    Whispers from your soul should be coming in strongly now. While this is not a new theme, it is flowing extra strongly now. Whether it is a call from your higher mind, or to focus to access it, meaningful messages are coming in that you will feel blessed to receive. So, if you are reading this, tune in to receive and you will.

    Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

    Deep waters in your world are being stirred these days. These could be of the sort that require your immediate and urgent attention and should not be taken lightly, denied or dismissed. On the high side, you are undergoing deep changes that can be described as a metamorphosis from which a whole new you will emerge, with wings.

    Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

    Sweet dreams are made of cycles like these. A highly creative influence is available, but you have to claim it. Efforts are required and you should not expect to simply be given what is being offered. Show up, be receptive, be willing, do what is required, and push as needed to persevere. The good news is that others are destined to participate.

    Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

    What once was in your world has been steadily dissolving, as if before your very eyes. Adaptation is all you can do, yet this requires a willingness to learn new skills, or at least to think differently. Exploring new horizons is more than possible, it is required, but you have to awaken out of your slumber and say yes to your destiny.

    Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

    Much of your creative source is connected to Pisces. It is the colorful factor that inspires your dreams and empowers your skills to fully access your talents. The only thing to protect yourself from is negative hallucinations. This complex weave of factors is growing stronger daily now and the more you respond, the more creative you feel.

    Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

    Diving even more deeply than ever to access your core and source has been activated by this New Moon. At worst, you could be dealing with emotional overwhelm or what could amount to a backlog of negative emotions that have become stagnant, or even toxic. Positively, you are getting access to feel deeply sounding the depths to access truths beyond opinions.

    Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

    Circumstances are stirring your imagination to greater depths than you perhaps even knew you had. The more sobering question is to consider if you are being influenced to think in ways that are not aligned with your core sense of authenticity. If you think you might be, you probably are. Alternatively, this could be the source of inspired visions that could be like food for your creative soul.

    Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

    Investing into your future implies a visionary perspective, as with recognizing the importance of investing today for the sake of future returns. This fundamental aspect of life is simply common sense. However, it takes both faith and risk to make the efforts without the certainty of return. The key is to enjoy the process anyway, because today is yesterday’s future.

    Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

    The time has come to take new, strong strides forward. With Mars in Cancer now direct, you should by now be feeling more energetic and determined than you perhaps did a couple of weeks ago. You should be prepared to work harder, perhaps than you have for some time, and this theme of putting in your time with diligent efforts will pretty much continue all year!

    Weekly Horoscope:​
    Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)The Piscean factor has been playing a major role in your life over the past couple of years especially. It indicates that you have been experiencing a disintegration process of what once was. This could be welcome, but it could also be the source of much anguish and anxiety. The truth is this process is not over. Perhaps it helps to know that there is rhyme and reason to it all.

    Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)Pisces is your friend, one that makes you laugh. Yet, it is also a perplexing sign for you as your earthy embodiment and attitude confronts its ethereal and idealistic notions. The middle ground is presence, yes, being here and now, which is the gift that presence gives. With Pluto juggling dynamite like a giant jester, it is the place to be.

    Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)With the Pisces stellium influencing your public and professional life, you can expect a steady stream of surprises to begin flowing in. These could include encountering new players and plots, some of whom just might become friends. Yet, you might be required to keep your mind open even wider than usual and aim to see things from other angles.

    Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)Pisces is your sign of wise counsel, and you do well to allow for its imaginative flexibility to support your otherwise assertive resolve. It is guiding you now to listen louder and speak more silently. Embracing the process with patience as opposed to locking claws with impatient outcome attachments will win the day, and perhaps even weeks and months.

    ​Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)It is slippery, fluid, liquid Pisces that has been melting your mind and heart these past weeks especially. Its objective is to increase your capacity to empathize, on the one hand, and to identify your fears and confront them, on the other. This work is meant to produce subtle yet real changes in your attitude and approach. Magically, working inwardly will clear outer blocks.

    ​Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)Pisces your love is strumming strings to beckon your attention and affection. Whatever sign occupies the relationship zone is the one that offers you the harmony, beauty, and fulfillment you seek, and for you, it is the fishes. Softening the edges of your mind, it supports you to gain access to your heart, revealing realities that rise above the hard ground.

    ​Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)Pisces plays an important role in your life, yet it must be understood well to be appreciated. On one hand, it inspires higher ideals and dreams of possibility. On the other, it ironically offers painfully sobering reminders about the importance of being mindful not to succumb to escapist tendencies and excesses that replace moderation with mold.

    Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)It is said by the wise that imagination can prove greater than knowledge. It is what allows us to see from above, through and beyond, and yet also become one with whatever is desired. Imagination is the elixir of magic that inspires creative engagement, and paints possibilities with the full spectrum of colors, textures, sounds, seductive sensations, and on…

    Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)Pisces is the sign that is your anchor and core. Although you tend to meet the world with factual critique and bulldozing logic, it is not what makes you happy so much as pays the bills. There is a space beyond practical accomplishments, and what transcends the so-called realities, that some refer to as the ‘within’, which your wisdom mind seeks.

    Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)For all your realism, few would realize just how idealistic you can be. The twist is that you aspire to be a ‘realistic idealist’, and you know just how much disciplined effort is required. It is said that it is better to have a dream than to drown it in realism, yet having one does not make you a dreamer, or at least not one lost in dreams, but one who is determined to make them real.

    Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)When it comes to priorities, Pisces is at the top of your list. It, or is it he, or she, or they or them…, reminds you that, after all is said and done, there is more, even more than can be imagined and that all the efforts, trials, and tribulations, are rewarded. That these returns and rewards are given in the presence of now and in the transcendent too, is the promise that Pisces realizes.​

    Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)This stellar stellium of Piscean potency is yours to harness as your new year begins. If the Sun has not yet completed its round this week, it will soon, and it is inviting you to get on board for the next new array of adventures. Much ever depends on the Moon, new on the 27th, and those of the Sun, Mercury, and Venus, and knowing if it is waxing or waning and their status too, both turning retrograde soon.​

    “I had a relationship reading 2 years ago, and now I am thinking how accurate you were to see the relationship for what it was and to see each of us so clearly. Thank you for your reading.” ~ Hyegwi

    Tip of the Week:

    That Valentine’s Day occurs while the Sun is in Aquarius and most of the world’s populations are still firmly in the grip of winter, is a little odd. Yet, the Sun is in the 3rd Decant of Aquarius, which is Libra – the sign of relationship dynamics, including harmony, fairness, and balance.

    Venus currently in fiery AriesMars in sentimental Cancer, and Mercury in Poetic Pisces are collaborating to support exchanges of adoration, appreciation, and love.

    The ‘chemistry’ between two people is quite an obvious reality, and it can be measured with Astrology with remarkable precision and accuracy. This technique is referred to as Synastry. As the story goes, just because there is good chemistry it does not mean a couple have the destiny to be or stay together. This is where another technique called Composites comes to the fore as it effectively measures the ‘deeper purpose’ (Composite) of a relationship.

    Further, the Composite Chart can be Progressed to reveal where that purpose is at any given time from a cyclic perspective.

    Of course, you do not have to be in a ‘love’ relationship. However, the more committed the relationship, the more the themes revealed come into play and can be recognized.

    My new blog, Relationship Astrology explores the realities of relationship dynamics through the lens of Astrology more fully.

    Weekly Horoscope:

    Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

    You are bound and determined to advance your position. Venus in your sign these past couple of weeks is leading the charge. Yet, all the while, Mars retrograde in Cancer is shifting into even lower gear, effectively increasing its gravity and torque. Combined with other factors, this implies the need to attend to clearing the old before you rebuild.

    Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

    Your hopes and dreams for the future are extra activated these days. The uncertainties of our times are part of the challenge, yet you do appreciate that change invites opportunity. Your focus includes aspirations to think deeply, to sound the depths of your heart to determine what is truly worthy of your time, and to devise a realistic, strategic plan.

    Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

    The creative and inventive impulse of Aquarius shines brightly for you. In these final days of it, seize the opportunity to break out of habitual perspectives and give access to some ‘out of the box’ time. Imagination is a keyword and it happens to be a central feature of the “duty of your destiny”. This includes harnessing it, but not allowing it to harness you.

    Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

    The deep dive cycle that Aquarius implies for you can be described as ‘clearing the clutter’. Other words include cleaning, cleansing, purging, or eliminating altogether, all for the purpose of supporting inspired and visionary access to new possibilities. Although Mars remains retrograde, producing detours in your drive, use it to get into the corners.

    Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

    Aquarius is your polar opposite sign, and the one directly associated with your relationship destiny. Its destined role is to help you to both see things from different angles and other people’s point of view, and to learn the importance of detachment to counterbalance an otherwise subjective, obsessive, and passionate impulse. Awareness is the key to balance.

    Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

    Those who know you well recognize a radical tendency in your nature. Not that it is bad, per se’, yet it does need to be well-directed to be useful. Otherwise, it tends to produce a cold, cerebral, sometimes harsh, and often indifferent approach. With Mars retrograde, you could still be in the dreaming phase, yet the resolve to be more deliberate is fast approaching.

    Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

    Lucky you, sexy Aquarius occupies the lover position in your chart. It indicates that verbal stimulation can be a real turn-on, especially when it includes high-minded perspectives about subjects you are passionate about. Yet, while you are about action, Aquarius can happily hover in intellectual exchange, and it is left to you to take the lead regarding desired directions.

    Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

    You know that quirky side of you that is hard to hide…, well that is your Aquarius. Yes, we each really are a composite of all the signs, yet certain ones tend to be more prominent than others. Ironically, despite your preference to be secretive and discreet, your Aquarius is pouring out 24/7 for all to see. Don’t worry, a little strangeness can prove… stimulating.

    Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

    While your sights are set on the future, your focus includes where you call home. If it is where your heart is, literally, then you have achieved the Sagittarius badge of freedom, and wherever you go, there you are. Yet, it remains that letting go of what has been and surrendering to the flow are features of this freedom.

    Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

    Building for the future is an especially important theme currently. With Venus in Aries, the key is to get inspired by the prospects of beautifying your home. Renovation efforts are indicated and are likely over the next couple of months, but maybe longer. Mercury in Aries in March will prove extra helpful in this regard.

    Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

    The Sun in your sign indicates a time for taking initiatives. Other factors indicate creative projects. Extra efforts will be required, and it may take a while for the momentum to build, and February could prove slow going, but the pace will accelerate noticeably in March. Jupiter in Gemini will provide the inspiration to enjoy the creative process.

    Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

    The pace is probably slower than usual, currently. The month before the Sun enters our sign can be like that, and then there are other factors. Ironically, while Mercury in Pisces as of February 14 can prove blurry for many, like trying to see underwater, it stands to work in your favor. Jupiter now direct is pushing you to expand in your career yet you may need to feel inspired.

This trend will continue, and it will in fact… deepen. Reactions will prove strong until what is happening becomes accepted as the ‘new norm’. This is especially the promise of Pluto in Aquarius, which has only just begun its 20-year cycle during which time the whole of humanity will undergo a powerful process of transformation.” ~

    Michael O’ConnorTip of the Week:
    ​The waxing Moon from the Aquarius New Moon seed event on January 29 will come to a Full Moon in Leo on February 12. Since the New Moon seed on January 29 carried such a charge of transformational energy and potential, this coming week will prove extra interesting, and perhaps dramatic too.​Leo is the heart fire sign and drama is a cornerstone of its expression. On the high side, drama can prove exciting and invigorating. Negatively, it can manifest as a consuming flame, causing people to get absorbed by it and, thereby, lose sight of reason and perspective.​Venus’s recent entry into Aries is adding to the heat. This is compounded by Mars at its peak, retrograde in Cancer, symbolic of the pre-phase of a ‘renovation project’, which includes clearing out the old. This cycle will continue through mid-April and will build momentum steadily all the while.​Since Mars is in moody Cancer, many will be experiencing just that: an inexplicable feeling of low-lying anxiety and impatience.​Mercury forming a conjunction with the Sun in Aquarius now is offering a counterbalance of open-minded perspective. It will be there all week supporting equanimity amidst all the extremes. Jupiter is now direct in its ruling sign of Gemini, yet in a temporary state of relative disconnection due to no major aspects with other planets, which will continue beyond mid-month. Then Mercury entering dreamy Pisces on February 14, Valentine’s Day, could serve to usher in some welcome inspirations supporting sweet sentiments of unrequited love.​Have a great week,​

    Weekly Horoscope:​​Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)Your sights are set on the future. You are inspired to take revolutionary action. However, you could be dealing with a slippery slope and the drag of unfinished business from yesteryear. Patience remains a keyword. It might prove better to attend to unfinished business before launching into larger projects or initiatives.

    Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)Shifts and changes in your public and/or professional life, some of them possibly sudden and unexpected, remain a central theme. You might even have, or be considering, taking actions that are coming as a surprise. The key now is to get clear on what you truly want at a heart level and not cave to shallow desires.

    ​Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)From fresh realizations, awakenings, and epiphanies, creative dreams and ambitions are born. This spirit is lingering for you now and stands to hit some high notes this week. Jupiter in your sign continues to uplift and inspire you to take leaps you would not otherwise, provided that pure practicality is not your only driving force

    .​Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)Mars in your sign is probably helping your resolve of late but could also be leaving you feeling cranky and edgy. Using it to get into the corners to clear the clutter in tune with early spring cleaning is a good call. Your focus can be on your living space, but it could also be mental and/or emotional too. The rewards of liberating pent-up or blocked energy will probably prove worth the effort.

    Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)Who do you love and why? While the answer is usually quite clear, you might be thinking about it more these days. Ideally, you yourself are high on your list. Self-love in its highest reaches is invariably projected, so others receive its blessing too. Forging ahead professionally, or at least in terms of popularity, is also at play, so focus to bring them into alignment.

    Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)Your sign combined with Aquarius is the sign of engineering, or any discipline that requires a blend of detailed logic and innovative possibility. Other factors indicate a weave of rebellion and determination to push through barriers, whether within or without. If you are feeling the call to go big, you are probably on track.

    Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)Venus entering Aries will spark your passions, which you could probably really use. This is a go-ahead time, yet be open to extra help, since you could very well need it. There are indications of the need for ‘unlearning’, associated with certain attitudes and interpretations, so being open to advice and feedback could prove worthwhile.

    Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)A lot is shaking close to home, but it generally looks quite positive. Changes on relationship fronts are indicated, some of which could seem to come from left field. The time is right to give more than you might usually, yet by doing so you will receive. All the while, an ardent push for freedom is indicated. If you see the sign for the high road, take it, because the low could prove extra costly.

    Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)Many new perspectives are illuminating your mind. Changes in your daily routine and perhaps your lifestyle in general continue to percolate. Venus entering Aries will bring a boost of passion and morale, perhaps even leading to new adventures. Expansion is a keyword, but you will have to reach for it and not expect it to be given idly.

    Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)Getting clear on what you deem your highest priorities is in the spotlight. This trend will continue for another couple of weeks. The fine print suggests that you may have to forego certain desires or habitual patterns to get what you truly want. A push for more information may be required but try to avoid anything that gives you reason to worry

    .​Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)A push forward has been underway and stands to become increasingly clearer this week. At least some of the emphasis points to your relationship life. Whether it is love, family, or career, things could get progressively hotter with the waxing Leo Moon. Circumstances may be pushing you to work harder than usual, and it looks like the right thing to do.​

    Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)A busy time behind the scenes continues. Positively, you are in an industrious mood and feel inspired by the aspiration to be innovative. A long-term process of paying your dues and/or building for the future is featured and requires faithful, patient perseverance. Heightened creativity is indicated, yet so too is the need for determination.

    “Our family has been stuck as to how best to support one another and move forward with compassion. Your astrological reading and intuitive insights have given us so much light on the situation that we feel confident in moving forward with much deeper knowledge and understanding. Thank you,” ~ May

    Tip of the Week:

    We have all heard that ‘change is the law and it is the only constant.’ Yet, despite the futility, it is also common to resist change. This is the sign of ego-control. Ego basically equates to fear and instinct, while soul equates to love and intuition. Yes, instinct and intuition are distinctly different. The question to ask is: Am I predominantly centered in fear or love?

    Centering in love implies presence, whereby over-emphasis on the past and future are reduced. Other examples include innocence without naiveté’, loyalty without blind allegiance, surrender without reactive conformity, a deep sense of connection with people and life in general, without feeling alone or alienated or orientations to networks that uphold rigid repeats of attitudes, perspectives and self-concepts.

    To be centered in love implies presence, gratitude, receptivity, joy, and peace, and relegates fear to instinctual response when needed, as opposed to the norm. It can also be said that love supports intelligent, intuitive adaptation, while fear resists.

    Aquarius is symbolic of futurism, humanism, revolutionary change, and the reality that while change steadily flows, it can also prove, or at least seem to be, sudden and unexpected. Aquarius is also symbolic of individuality balanced by a deep feeling of communal connection with others, intuitive, illuminating insight, and epiphanies.

    So, ‘let’s exercise our Aquarius’ to consider what being centered in fear looks like…

    A ‘fear-centered’ posture can be easily recognized because the perspective and attitude are highly highly polarized and rationalized, such as knowing exactly why this, that, or the other(s)… are hated. The dialogue exchange and sharing of thoughts, feelings, concerns, interpretations, and knowledge is replaced by highly rationalized polarization, rejection, alienation, and at least passive-aggressive conflict, or worse.

    Yet, the rationalization is based on irrational reaction, due to unconscious over-idealism, and notions of utopia, both symptoms of extreme instinctual reaction and ego-survival. The projection of ‘fight’ is that the ‘others’ are deemed insane imbeciles who give their allegiance to absolute evil, both of whom should be ‘re-educated’ or ‘deleted’ altogether.

    If yours or anyone’s perspectives are highly polarized as with reactive, matter-of-fact, dismissive rationalization, it is probably the symptom of fear and unrecognized and unresolved trauma. Occasional lapses into fear is natural, yet centering in it can be described as an imbalance or illness As the story goes, the medicine required is love, which can be identified as open, mutually respectful discussions of perspectives that are intuitively received, leading to new, evolving considerations.

    So, in alignment with the 9-Year that 2025 equates to, the number of endings, completions, and graduations, the themes of the Year of the Wood Snake from Chinese Astrology, and those of the White Spectral World-Bridger from Mayan Astrology (which aligns with it) are all converging to reveal quite a similar theme, which can be described as definite and ‘probably’ radical changes, which I will do my best to provide insights about to guide you through.

    To do so in a very personal and precise way, a personal Reading with me is the way to go.

    Have a great week,​

    Weekly Horoscope:

    Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

    The primary relationship in life is ever with your own body, mind, heart, and soul. As obvious as this is, it is often overlooked, neglected, and taken for granted. Honoring this relationship, and supported by a determination to be genuinely honest with how you feel, determine what major decision you need to make in your life.

    Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

    This Aquarius New Moon in your solar house of career and public reputation, and with its ruling planet Uranus in your sign, and now direct after several months of retrograde, altogether indicate that either some key events are destined to activate you, or the time has come to make some power moves.

    Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

    The Air Element of Aquarius harmonizes with your own and is destined to synchronize with waves of inspiration. However, you may have to be intentional and receptive to both recognize and receive them. Anticipate them and exercise gratitude to enter the best state of presence – yes the most precious gift.

    Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

    This Aquarius New Moon brings with it a theme of liberation. What form it comes in depends on you and your circumstances. In alignment with Imbolc, consider doing some early spring cleaning, consider an organ cleanse or purification of your mind and soul, and be thanking, forgiving, and releasing past people and experiences.

    Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

    This Aquarius New Moon is directing the spotlight to your relationship life. This can include family and colleagues too as well as love partners. Either way, the invitation is to dive deeply into a place of intimate acknowledgment and/or of embrace. Love is ever the elixir and it is time to let it flow.

    Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

    Aquarius energy combined with your sign tends to activate inventiveness. It can be in the form of original ideas, designs, or new ways of approaching habitual situations, and so on. In this instance, a quiet and receptive state may prove necessary to think and feel deeply, or simply to open your mind.

    Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

    Aquarius is a creative compliment for you and during its cycle you are given even more opportunity to align with it. The key is to be playful, to allow your child out, which includes a relative state of openness and a willingness to lighten-up, see the humor and the value of making others smile and laugh.

    Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

    While it might come as a surprise to hear, Aquarius has an influence on you at a core level of your being. It is that quirky side of you, and the rebellious one too. It is the source of your sense of individuality, guiding you to be uniquely you, and which you probably have little choice otherwise, anyway.

    Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

    This Aquarius New Moon is destined to awaken you to a whole new perspective. The emphasis points directly to your daily rhythm and lifestyle in general. Creating more beauty to feel inspired is featured. Yet, you will probably need some help to shift out of dreaming mode and into action.

    Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

    The Aquarian factor now fully activated will guide you to plan for the future. This can include broadening your perspective, assessing both the probabilities and the possibilities, and making key investments. The main caution is to keep your imagination in check and balancing awareness with presence.

    Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

    The New Moon in your sign signifies an impulse to take new initiatives. This is your cue to be deliberate to break out of any patterns whether of perception, attitude or behaviour that might be limiting you. Some degree of willful determination might be required, so decide and replace analysis with action.

    Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

    Aquarius time offers an invitation to lay low and retreat for a while. Yet, this does not strictly imply passivity. In fact, you could even be busier than usual, and on a variety of fronts. What you might yearn for less of is social engagement. Productivity and advancement, even personal growth and evolution are keywords.

    “With Uranus turning Direct next week, combined especially with the influences of Mars Retrograde in Cancer, things are about to get even more ‘exciting’. So, fasten your emotional seat belts and get ready for that, especially after the waxing of the Aquarius New Moon on January 29 commences.” ~ Michael O’Connor

    Tip of the Week:

    ​Every week these days is packed with passion and power. These early days of the first of 20 cycles of Sun conjunct Pluto in Aquarius, (a 20-year process with 20 strikes of Pluto’s staff), are destined to utterly transform the world, for better or worse.

    In the shorter term, Mars in Cancer is serving to inspire renovations, not just of our living environments, but of our mental and emotional patterns as well. Wisdom invites us to tune in and cooperate according to our respective realities.

    The Aquarius New Moon on January 29 features Uranus in Taurus turning Direct, releasing the Minotaur…, and Mercury conjunct Pluto encouraging critical thinking and dialogue based on carefully considered facts over conclusive convictions, projecting cognitive dissonance.

    The January 29th Aquarius New Moon also launches us into the Year of the Snake, deemed the most karmic of the 12 Chinese totems, and its Wood Element indicates rapid growth.

    celestial spectacle of visible planets in the night sky meanwhile, has many excited, some even making sensational predictions of synchronicities here on Earth, assuming the role of Astrologer, yet without any clear understanding of the holistic science and archetypal principles at play, and projecting literalism in hopes of countering its esoteric roots.

    Astronomy and Astrology are like siblings, and they can and do play together, even happily sometimes, yet ‘he’ seldom comes close to understanding her profound depths and mystery, despite his tendencies to delusional notions of certainty. She neither is so inclined to any interest in his grandiosity of time spans that make grass seem young and distances that make Pluto seem like a next-door neighbor. Yet, the visuals could prove pretty and inspiring.

    Have a great week,​

    Weekly Horoscope:

    Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

    Clearing the way, the clutter, the past…, to bring in the new continues. In some respects, you may feel that you have little choice. This is where choosing your attitude comes to the fore. Sweet surrender now includes ‘answering the call’. For now, all you have to do is say: ”Yes, I will.”

    Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

    You have likely been stepping back to see a bigger picture and to assess your overall situation to make a plan. If you have not yet done so, do it now, because the time to make major and important decisions associated with your career and public life is fast approaching. Yet, you still have a couple of weeks to prepare.

    Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

    You have been steadily emerging from a deep dive that required a balance of dutiful response and clarification of your ideals. With the momentum for 2025 steadily building, the urge to be more social has and continues to escalate. Some measure of contemplation or research may still be required, so broaden your scope.

    Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

    You have been summoned within to make some very realistic assessments. These could well be associated with important investments. Taking a constructive and innovative approach is likely and ideal. A yearning for peace asks you to breathe more deeply in quietude and inner listening.

    Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

    Creating more harmony at home is closely aligned with rising to the occasion professionally. By doing so, you will be more centered and content. Embrace the efforts required and enjoy the creative process. Yes, changes are implied, but these have been underway for almost two years, so focus to follow through.

    Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

    Orientations to integrate a more practical philosophy into your lifestyle have and continue to keep you busy. Getting better prepared and organized for the inevitable mishaps of life is part of the plot. Listing out what you can do and need in terms of supplies and strategies could include some original ideas.

    Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

    A steady flow of changes these past 7 years that has significantly changed you and your overall lifestyle, now enters the final chapters. The more significant themes are associated with your financial reality and status. In this context, health challenges remain a priority. All being well, you are healthy and helping others.

    Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

    Literally or figuratively, you have recently entered new territory. Positively, you feel uplifted and inspired. Yet, there are probably also improvements and repairs required. The more creative your approach, the better, yet exercise patience since bringing things to your desired level could take longer than anticipated.

    Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

    After what probably amounts to a series of pretty extreme moves and measures over the past long while, you are in the mood to take new steps to counter-balance. Lifestyle changes are indicated. Visions of the beauty you want to create will require sincere efforts and measurable investments.

    Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

    A deep dive into your financial reality is pushing you to assess your investments. You are in the mood to add to your overall score. A learning curve associated with new knowledge and tools and their implementation is likely. Yet, make sure to steer clear of wishful thinking and approach get-rich-quick schemes with due caution.

    Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

    Taking new leads and initiatives will become even more obvious this week as Uranus turns direct. This could amount to the next major phase of changes close to home. Striking the balance between beauty and function is featured. Recognizing the extra efforts required as paying your dues for later returns, will help.

    Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

    A steady flow of new thoughts and ideas will become increasingly apparent this week. The time is ripe to be engaged in expressions of beauty. You may also be considering what new tools and skills you want or need to acquire. You are open to the possibilities, but are determined to realize practical results.
