Aries New Moon 

9 Aries 00

And so we begin.    We astrologers have been discussing the potency of the astrological landscape of the mid 2020's for quite awhile.   I know I have droned a lot about it in my reports for the last two years.  And now we are here.   

In my previous career I spent a lot of time in Live TV where we rehearse and rehearse and get all the kinks out of the system and then when we hit "live" we just gotta sit back and watch how it all rolls out.   That's now what we are doing as this new astrological era unfolds.   It's here.  Wires will be tripped now in the Aries 29 day lunar cycle and during the rest of this year and next year as well.   Some of these cycles extend for five years.   Lots will be shifting and moving.   We are going to be seeing, experincing and doing a lot.   And when historians, way off in the future, write about this era a lot will be tied to 2025 and 2026.   You are probably already feeling it.    Anyway, I am here, you are here and together we will do our part to find our way through and yes perhaps thrive, even if it takes a bit of work.     Here is my full report.   

Gemini Brett with Amanda Wash on Astrology Hub

 

Youtube  Astrology Hub - 

If you really like to get into the geeky astrology stuff, Astrologer Gemini Brett, who I have seen at a conference and found super interesting was recently on Astrology Hub with Amanda Walsh.     Brett has researched a lot about the who,how, when and why Astronomy separated from Astrology.   Once upon a time, ( for millennia), astrology and astronomy was married.  Now they are separated.   Gosh knows astronomers, not big fans of astrologers but for those of us in the astrological community we have so much respect for astronomy.    

Anyway this discussion goes very long on the north and south nodes and the lunar standstill which ties back to January 11 when the north node hit zero degrees of Aries.   He also explains why there is so much about the snake, dragon's head and tail and the serpent associated with the node.    I pulled out one tiny part of the video and was kind of blown away when he lays out the glyphs.   I never saw that pattern until he  pointed it out and I have been drawing the glyph for 40 years.  

Here's a snippet of that part of the discussion.  

If the video does not work, here's the link to the whole presentation  in all its geeky dry appeal. 

Happy Equinox - Watch Your World.

 

Happy Equinox 

 

March 20, 2025

2:01 am PDT

 

The first day of spring (in the northern hemisphere) and first day of fall (south of equator) roll out on Thursday morning when the sun enters Aries activating the equinox.   

 

As discussed, we are in an extraordinary astrological era right now and much of it is centered around zero Aries.     On January 11 the north node entered zero Aries setting off this year’s big activities.   Now the Sun will hit another trip wire on March 20.  

 

We should watch world events around the 20^th for possible topics and themes that will reoccur this year and into 2026.    In our personal lives we may have experiences that could mirror themes that will repeat in our lives this year.  

 

We may have started to feel or see some stuff come up for us around January 11.    Note if anything then was repeated around these other dates when Mercury and Venus hit zero Aries and note the dates in the furfure. 

  

Feb 3:        Venus enter zero Aries

March 3:   Mercury enter zero Aries 

Mar 30:     Neptune enters zero Aries

April 15:   Mercury enters zero Aries 

April 30    Venus enters zero Aries 

Sept 1        Saturn enters zero Aries 

Sept 15     Neptune enters zero Aries 

Jan 26      Neptune enters zero Aries 

Feb 14       Saturn enters zero Aries 

 

In the meantime, enjoy the equinox and welcome the new season (and era).

Last Quarter Moon Phase

March 22, 2025

4:29am PDT  

   

 

Last Quarter moon:  Now we do the final adjustments to the seeds we planted on new. The final call, the final letters to send, we follow all the trails that came up that still make sense.  And we let the other parts lay fallow. It is a time of action but wise action.  It is a time for living “The serenity prayer” 

 

God, grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change Courage to change the
things I can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference.

 

 

 

Focus on:

What actions are you taking that tap your inner-CEO?  How are you acting on faith that puts you out in the world?   What actions can you take that deepen your connection to your career?   Do you need a boost of spirituality in your career?  

 

Special focus 

 

3/22 Sun conjunct Venus (2 Aries 39) Independence and new paths are found while tapping creativity.

3/23 Sun sextile Pluto (3 Aries 24) Creativity and new fresh ideas inspire transformation.  

3/24 Sun conjunct Mercury (4 Aries 24).  Fierce thoughts serve a purpose.   

 

Balsamic Moon Phase

 

March 25, 2025

8:49pm PDT 

 

Balsamic:   We let go.  By releasing we can prepare for the new.  

 

 

Focus on:  How are you releasing any friends or groups that are not in sync with you?  How are you releasing strident and obstinance in thought that no longer serves you?  

 

 

Special focus:

3/25 Mercury sextile Pluto (3 Aquarius 27) Independence thinking is showcased which taps new power and transformation. 

3/26 Mars square Chiron (21 Aries 59).  Actions that are based on emotions and family can rub against the need for new independence.

Richard Nolle and Other Astrologers on Saturn Conjunct Neptune Zero Aries

 

As we have been discussing for some time, Saturn conjuncts Neptune in Aries exact on February 20, 2026.    It is only a one time hit.  However, the influence is longer because the two of them will be co-present in Aries between May and October.   Then they re-enter and are co-present in Pisces between October and January.  During their retrogrades, Saturn goes back to 25 Pisces 09 and Neptune goes back 29 Pisces 22.  Finally, in January they both re-enter zero Aries (Neptune on January 26 and Saturn on February 14). 

As many of you have no doubt noticed I think it is important to do shout outs to other astrologers and their insights especially when focusing on mundane astrology.   With these spring aspects being so pronounced I started to find some great information and research in the astrological community.    

Obviously, I vectored in on this conjunction awhile ago.  The last conjunction was in 1989 in Capricorn which I remembered very well.  At the time I wrote letters to friends telling them to put it on their radar and suggested actions they could do to personalize the aspect.     The average human lifespan will experience only two of these conjunctions because the cycle only happens every 36.4 years. When the 1989 aspect began to unfold it was apparent that it was tied to Russia because the former USSR began to break apart.   That conjunction was in Capricorn and because I knew that their elliptical paths were uneven, I wondered how many times the conjunction occurred in Aries.  Luckily, astrologer Richard Nolle did the grunt work in July of 2005 and compiled a list of Saturn conjunction Neptune for the last two thousand years.    As I suspected, their conjunction in Aries has only occurred six times in two thousand years and they never formed a conjunction at zero Aries.   I wondered about the time before 500 BCE.  

My pursuit continued and two years ago I bumped into astrologer SJ Anderson with Dan Waits of The World Astrology Report and their episode “The Astrology the 2020s: The New Frontier.    I was intrigued by the title and was excited to see that SJ did the calculation and found a conjunction at zero Aries over six  thousand years ago in the year 4361 BCE.  He and Dan Waites discuss some of the history which is broad given our information is limited for that era but still interesting.   Prior to that, we really don’t know, and what it means would be silly since who knows what man was doing during the Ice Age besides painting in caves.  So, this conjunction that we are experiencing is a brand-new uncharted territory.   

Zero Aries is the beginning of the directional movement of the tropical zodiac.   Technically, the sun crosses the equator at zero Aries and it is the midway between the winter and summer solstice.    It marks the completion of endings and the freshness of new beginnings.   Sometimes both endings and beginnings can come quick and hard.    As discussed in a previous post, Venus and Mercury are going back and forth between Pisces and Aries and are driving three times over zero Aries.  I believe the universe is doing all it can to prepares on some level for zero Aries.    Let’s see how this season unfolds, how summer quickens the information then we will get a reprieve in the fall and by January we will be ready to take it on with a new gusto.  

If you feel like going super deep on why zero Aries is significant I encourage you to check out Astrology Hub’s YouTube with Gemini Brett and Amanda Walsh.  Brett is an astrologer who spends a lot of time bridging the gulf between astronomy and astrology which once upon a time were very happy married to each other.  His research is excellent.   He was also on Chris Brennan’s Astrology Podcast in 2017 discussing the importance and former alliances between the two worlds. 

I will keep you updated on my insights and the work of other astrologers along the way as we head into our new horizon.    

Astrology for Week March 10 - 17

 

We are in an auspicious period, and we will be here for a few months.   I wrote about this period and likened it to a town we are stopped in on a cross-country road trip.  We should start to feel the energy shift and morph and get weird this week.  Not weird like the weird we have been doing for a while but a new weird.    Yeah, I know it seems strange that we are doing this now but here we are.  And then there is the Mercury Retrograde that starts on March 14.    There will be some bumps in the news and maybe a few bumps that feel personal.

Lunar Eclipse - Full Moon – Virgo

11:54 pm PDT 

23 Virgo 56     

 

Full Moon:  We make the needed adjustments on the things we planted. Usually, emotions are up and running and for those people who perhaps did not utilize the new moon and the rest of the waxing moon, this is when emotions can get the better of us.  There can often be a big emotional break, for no other reason than to get back on track.   Some partnership will offer up some balance.  The moon is bright and full and there is no room for shadows, what is reflecting on you?

Special focus 

3/14   Sun sextile Uranus (24 Taurus 02) Creativity is strong with practical application. 

3/14   Mercury retrograde (9 Aries 39) (see separate)

3/17   Sun conjunct north node (27 Pisces 23) (see the road trip post link above) 

Mercury Retrograde March 14 - Thoughts that straddle Pisces and Aries.

Mercury

Station Retrograde 

March 14, 9Aries 35

 

Feb 28        Mercury enters shadow 

Mar 14       Mercury stations retrograde (9 Aries 35)

Mar 24       Mercury conjunct Sun – cazimi (4 Aries 24)

Mar 29       Mercury re-enters Pisces  

Apr   7       Mercury stations direct (26 Pisces 49) 

Apr  15       Mercury re-enters Aries 

Apr  26       Mercury exits shadow 

 

Two weeks after Venus stations retrograde, we now have Mercury retrograding at 9 degrees of Aries.  Like Venus, Mercury is straddling back and forth between Aries and Pisces.    In general, during Mercury retrograde periods we benefit by a slowdown of our thinking, talking and connecting.  Unfortunately, the very nature of slowing down will piss off Aries.   Delays will be very frustrating.   Some issues that come up may demand swift thinking and conversations that are sharp.    If the talks cut to the bone and have long term consequences that might be okay.   In our current climate of Venus is helping us find our hearts and talking to us through Aries and now Mercury retrograded in Aries, there just may be a need for fierceness for things we love and independent thinking.   

 

When Mercury re-enters Pisces on March 29, it will join Venus and now they both remember tenderness, kindness and benevolence has meaning.   We can reconnect to something again tender through our hearts and minds and then when Mercury stations direct on April 7 and re-enters Aries on April 15, we are back to our warrior brain again.   

 

In mundane astrology, we should anticipate big talk of war.   Big talk of independence.  Big talk of doing something new.  But if in the ‘newness’ the baby gets thrown out in the bath water there will be those who say, ‘hang on I think we are forgetting something.’  More to be revealed.
