    The week kicks off with Mars squaring Pluto and you might be witnessing or experiencing a power struggle. As the week goes on Venus squares Saturn asking us to make a commitment.

Paving the way for you to cast a grand vision and take the risk when the Full Moon arrives on Sunday in Sagittarius.

    New Moon in Taurus and Mars has us raging

    I'm back and just in time for an angry week thanks to Mars joining forces with 2 asteroids: Eris and Chiron. Luckily you have lots of ways to release those emotions this week as the moon wanes and we prepare for the incoming New Moon in Taurus on Saturday, May 16th. The moon is exalted in Taurus, so this spring time New Moon is always a good one for setting an intention that is tangible and rooted in earthbound reality.

    Libra Full Moon: Balancing Me and We

    This week's Full Moon at 12° Libra perfects with a square to Jupiter in Cancer. As the planet of expansion and amplification, Jupiter ensures that whatever this Full Moon illuminates will glow even brighter. Libra Full Moons generally call us to address imbalances in our relationships, and this one carries extra intensity. Its ruler, Venus, is in Taurus and squaring Pluto this week, bringing the potential for power struggles and control issues to the surface.

    Fresh Starts: New Moon, Spring Equinox, Mercury Direct

    The past month has been murky, messy, and emotionally overwhelming thanks to Mercury retrograde in Pisces and amplified by our recent eclipse season (Feb 17 at 28° Aquarius and Mar 3 at 12° Virgo). This week we get to say, "goodby to all that," with a Pisces new moon at 28° on Wednesday the 18th. With a sextile to Uranus you're encouraged to find new ways to move forward and embrace the inevitable change on the horizon. While the New Moon perfects, Venus squares Jupiter bringing opportunities, but also overwhelm. It's okay to say no, especially since these are the last moments of hibernation. The spring equinox (sun into Aries) on Friday the 20th invites us to step into the next chapter. Dry your tears, put your winter coat in the back of the closet, lace up your sneakers, and get ready to go.

    Mercury Retrograde: Reviewing our Dreams

    Mercury is indeed retrograde in Pisces which explains any recent confusion, mis-scheduling, and dreamy “delulu” vibes. Take the next 3 weeks to try on a new perspective. We're in between eclipses right now, so there is no need to push. Allow yourself to see what's been in the shadows and review your dreams. This astrology is about assessing what is important to you and how can you move forward in alignment with your spirit.

    Solar Eclipse in Aquarius + Revolutionary Meet Up in Aries

    This week’s episode covers the powerful Solar Eclipse at 28° Aquarius, Mercury entering its pre-retrograde shadow ahead of next week’s retrograde in Pisces, and why this moment feels like a collective turning point. I explore themes of revolution, accountability, and feminine leadership, plus the major shift of Saturn conjunct Neptune at 0° Aries, a rare cycle reset we’ll look back on as the beginning of a new era. The message: eclipse season asks us to rest, regulate our nervous systems, and pace ourselves, because the revolution requires endurance, not burnout.

    Uranus + Neptune Wake us up

    The Full Moon in Leo arrived on Sunday igniting our passions and asking you to use your light in the ways that are uniquely yours. Neptune's recent move into Aries, the awakening energy of Uranus stationing direct, and the concentration of planets in Aquarius are showing up as humans joining together in protest all over the world. It's a scary, but also inspiring time to be alive. This is just the beginning as Saturn will enter Aries in a few weeks to join Neptune on Feb 20th and this Full Moon has opened the door for eclipse season to begin. I know that the intensity is not letting up, but find moments for yourself to ground your body and remember to breathe. We're in a marathon, not a sprint.  00:00 Introduction and Host Welcome00:26 Current Astrological Events01:03 Astrology in Business Context01:37 Astrological Themes and Historical Context03:05 Pluto and Personal Planets03:54 Uranus and Social Movements09:43 Neptune in Aries and New Era22:37 Full Moon in Leo and Eclipse Season35:35 Conclusion and Self-Care Tips
