Looking for clarity, insight, and strategy to navigate 2025?
“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.
A 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,
Michael

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.
