The shifts have begun
And discounts are extended through Wednesday night
First, my gratitude to those of you who showed up live to the 2025 Astrology Forecast workshop last Friday, and/or booked a reading, and/or became a paid subscriber. This site is the heart of my work, where I post what I write and teach, and I appreciate your support. Thanks, too, for those of you who read my posts or watch the recordings. Your presence and attention mean a lot as well.
From fire and air, to earth and water
The movement of the Lunar Nodes (the axis of eclipses) from the polarity of war and peace to that of transcendence and immanence is the first big energetic shift of the year. The North Node of the Moon is now in Pisces, with the South Node in Virgo, meaning the eclipses move into those signs now for 18 months, with the exception of a last eclipse in Aries on March 29, 2025 and a first eclipse in Aquarius on February 17, 2026.
I talked about the boundary-dissolving energy of Pisces in the workshop, plus the power of sensitivity and the need for deeply rooting into your physical experience. You can watch the workshop for free through the end of the month:
The post also contains a free pdf download of key astrological events of 2025 for you.
We are in the aftermath of a very potent Full Moon in Cancer, exact yesterday, January 13 at 2:26 pm Mountain. The Moon actually passed across Mars shortly after it peaked. Both bodies were (and still are) “out of bounds” and acting erratically. If you are feeling over-reactive and restless, and exhausted at the same time, you are not alone. Make sure to honor your body’s needs right now.
Discounts extended through Wednesday
I’ve extended the discount on astrology readings and energy alignment sessions and annual paid subscriptions through Wednesday night, January 15th (Mountain time).
