Hi, friends.

It’s been so long since my last newsletter, but WOW have I needed the break from writing. I hope to be back in touch with more regularity soon. 

2025 kicked off as expected. If you have my 2025 Guidebook, you knew January would be tough but February would break through some of the density. That prediction was spot on for most people I’ve talked to. I hope daily life flowed better for you these past 4-5 weeks! 

Now in mid-March, we enter a time of tremendous import. March brings two eclipses – a Full Moon / Lunar Eclipse in Virgo (March 14) and a New Moon / Solar Eclipse in Aries (March 29). Venus and Mercury are retrograde in the same area of sky the eclipses are impacting. Not to mention, this is also where the Saturn and Neptune conjunction is happening. What does this abundance of astro events in this one area of the Zodiac mean?

For many of us, this is a time of great acceleration and transition.

External events or internal changes may signal the wrapping up of some era in your life. The ways this might happen are infinite. You might, for instance, release some possession, person, ideology, mindset, activity or habit. You might have completed a long period of study or major achievement. If some journey / life phase has peaked or concluded, you may sense an empty space to fill. And that’s amazing, because…

There has NEVER been a greater opportunity to reshape life as you’ve known it.

That being said, this reshaping will be a longer process than many of us anticipate. Parts of it may happen by force; some through the conscious desire for change. 

On the collective level, I’ve been beating this drum since last September when I said, “We are amidst a turning point deeper than anything we can wrap our heads around while we’re standing in the middle of it… A lot must happen to turn a ship of 8 billion people in a new direction.” Look where we are only six months later!!! In a place we’d have never imagined last September. And we’re nowhere near done with the dissolution process that precedes the restructure / rebuild that’s happening. 

Since I covered the political / societal impact of all this in my 2025 video, my aim in this email is to turn your attention AWAY FROM THE NEWS and TOWARD THE POSITIVE POTENTIAL of the current astrology in your own life. 

I recognize that some of us thrive on change and initiation of new things. Others prefer routine and a sense of certainty. Interestingly enough, this year offers a growth opportunity for both categories of people.

To the extent you prefer routine, security, control, and certainty, the energies right now can help you develop a greater capacity for surrender. With the South Node in Virgo, you are supported in letting go of habitual anxiousness, worry, perfectionism, and obsessive mental processes (i.e., the perpetual need to know / figure out / plan). The North Node in Pisces can help you replace such habits with increased faith, openness and curiosity. Starting today, reach for feelings of curiosity in situations where you automatically feel anxious or worried. Reprogramming such patterns can be difficult, so give it good effort now that the astrological wind is beneath your sails. 

On the other hand, assume you feel excited about launching into some new beginning. The astrology recommends you slow down and refocus on the present moment despite any vacancy you may feel. Venus and Mercury are retrograde, and the Saturn-Neptune conjunction doesn’t complete until next February. That suggests that further developments may be necessary to properly align you with “what’s next.” For that reason,

Long-term decisions or commitments made now tend to be premature.

In March and April particularly, the information we receive and the appearance of things have a greater likelihood to confuse / mislead us. This makes big, life-altering decisions unwise if we can avoid them. If you feel stuck between some past reality and a new one, remind yourself you’re right where you need to be. Here’s why…

The astrology of this year places extreme emphasis on the final degrees of Pisces and the initial degrees of Aries. If we could pinpoint the source of Creation on the Zodiac wheel, it is that very place – where the final degrees of Pisces dissolve old forms and the first degree of Aries births new life. This is a place of apparent nothingness – of pure potentiality – from which life spontaneously springs forth.

What we’re aiming for now is to align with the creative power of the Universe in this liminal space.

While it’s the most magical place of all, feelings of vacancy can arise when we’re detaching from some old phase of life but have not yet imagined the next one. Finding peace in the interim is top priority. Though our minds may tell us we’re doing nothing “waiting” here, we are in fact doing the most important thing of all: aligning with the intelligence of Life itself. It is our simple awareness and openness in the unattached NOW that Creation happens. In this openness, fresh ideas, insights and inspirations beyond the limitations of the mind and status quo can be born. 

If you think I’m stating the obvious by telling you to just “be here now”, you’re not appreciating how the mind might distract us from the present moment and pressure us to figure out what’s next. 

More than anything, we are working to increase the quality and the fullness of our presence these next few months. Approach even menial tasks with the care and attention you’d use holding a newborn. Whether cutting vegetables or doing laundry, find peace with what you’re doing. It is THERE in the seemingly trivial moments that the wisdom of Life has an opening to speak and act through you.

I like how Eckhart Tolle illustrated this in the book, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose. He says, in sum – 

The sapling doesn’t want to become a big tree. It doesn’t wait until it reaches maturity to live in harmony with the present moment. It is at one with Life, and Life acts though it. “Look at the lilies of the field, how they grow” said Jesus, “they toil not, neither do they spin.” Because the sapling doesn’t perceive itself as separate from Life, it isn’t worried or stressed trying to figure out how to complete the enormity of its task – to become a towering tree.

Don’t spin your wheels too much figuring out what’s next, how to get there, or how to complete some mission right now.

Life can propel you towards your greatest potential, your highest destiny with ease if you can simply find contentment in the NOW.

I have a personal example that illustrates this astrology perfectly. Solo gym routines stopped feeling effective years ago for me. I’ve felt a bit desperate to discover a new way to build muscle, stabilize my joints, and ease my low back pain lately. From physical therapy to traditional Chinese medicine, I’d almost tried it all. Then, on the exact day Venus reached retrograde territory, I joined a power yoga studio. My first 3 weeks of classes were incredible, and my body started changing. My mind went wild about whipping myself into shape in no time at all. I was so insanely happy, I cried on my mat a few times.

Then when Venus slowed down to change direction, each of my shoulders locked up in excruciating pain. First on the right and then on the left, I couldn’t raise my arms for days. This meant time off from exercise entirely. Talk about a change in direction!

Yesterday I returned to the yoga studio with tremendous caution and a level of presence I’ve probably never had. I’ve been forced to slow down and be HERE, focused on my current body, my current capabilities. The goal is not progress. The goal is NOW – pure awareness – noting how every part of my body is doing in every moment. I can’t go anywhere from here if I’m not really here first. That’s how this energy works.

Clinging to the past or projecting into the future is worthless right now.

If this advice fills you with practical questions, let’s imagine another scenario. I have a client who’s unemployed, and the person gets a job offer next week. Would I advise them not to take it? Of course not. But I would point out that the job / position could transform in major, unforeseeable ways over the coming months. So, take the opportunity, but ditch expectations. 

As I meditated to prepare for writing, the card I pulled from Alana Fairchild’s Wild Kuan Yin oracle deck was unbelievably on target (as always). It says: 

Be serene, be peaceful, whilst the power of heaven and earth become the celestial horses driving the chariot of your soul to its divine destiny. … Don’t be scared by perceptions of disappointment or failure; these are just signs that the mind needs to let go of control and trust more unconditionally in the goodness of life.
To know specific areas of life where major endings and new beginnings are likely to happen for you, please refer to my 2025 Guidebook. The Guidebook has an extensive horoscope specific to your sign and breaks the year into segments with important dates to watch for and potentially plan around. They are $35 and with every purchase, you are invited to share a free copy with someone else. Simply email me and request the free copy if you’ve made a purchase.

For more on the global situation, from wild weather patterns to politics, visit the YouTube video I released last month. Considering that research / script was compiled last fall (before current events were ever on our radar), I’m stoked how the themes I articulated encompass so much of what we’re seeing. Saturn-Neptune conjunctions have brought these type of events with consistency for millennia. Imagine that…astrology works. 😝

Sending you love until next time.
