2025 Forecast

AKA my notes on The Astrology Podcast's 2025 Forecast, hosted by Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. Saddle up, it's a long one!

Overview

This year's forecast is divided into an overview of big planetary shifts and a chronological breakdown, but it doesn't go quarter-by-quarter like in previous years.

Outer Planet Shifts

It's quite rare that such slow-moving planets as Neptune, Uranus and Pluto* all enter new signs in the same year (*Pluto has already ingressed to Aquarius after transiting Capricorn for the past 16 years, but this is the first full year he'll spend in Aquarius). Uranus has been in Taurus since 2018, and Neptune first ingressed to Pisces in 2011. Thus we are seeing major shifts happening all at the same time. These represent major cultural and social changes. In personal charts, this concludes activity in other parts of our charts and begins focus in a new area.

Pluto in Aquarius (November 2024 (final ingress) - January 2044)

Chris has been connecting this to cryptocurrency (Bitcoin started under Pluto in Capricorn) and AI stories, such as Google & other companies rolling out livechats. He predicts that robots, especially humanoid ones, will he ubiquitous in everyday life by the end of Pluto in Aquarius, though Austin is skeptical as to how evenly distributed technological advancements will be. Jobs and labor will surely be affected by the increasing digitization of different industries. Everyone's trying to hitch a ride on the AI train, but it'll take a major scandal before we see regulations put in place or see just how it'll integrate into society. We'll have to train our eyes to recognize the artificially generated, and we'll also have to deal with inefficient bureaucracy that technology alone can't quite fix. In mundane developments, even though the US was founded under Pluto in Capricorn, most of the government structure were put into place under Pluto in Aquarius. Last time Pluto was in Aquarius was the French Revolution (opposite Leo, the fixed signs of sovereigns and heads of state). The current Pluto in Leo generation (baby boomers) were raised definitively in the area of the celebrity, an issue that will likely come into question in the years ahead.

Uranus in Gemini (July 2025 - May 2033)

Uranus trines Pluto during this transit, so these two planets' themes are closely tied over the next decade. Previous Uranus in Gemini periods include the revolutionary war/founding of the USA, its Civil War, and WW2. Term limits were pushed and set under this transit with Washington & FDR; 84 years previous to the founding of the US John Locke wrote his ideas on government. Continuing on the theme of liberal democracy, the King James Bible was published under Uranus in Gemini in the 1600s--an attempt to democratize religion and encourage readers to have their own individual relationship with the text. Uranus was discovered during a Gemini transit in 1781, and was almost named "George" after the King of Britain. In general Uranus in Gemini brings particularly forward-thinking ideas while in Mercury-ruled signs. We should expect to see continued developments in AI controversies and LLMs (large language models), and the role of language overall. We can also expect shakeups in transportation, with technologies like self-driving cars and drones expanding in transportation, war, and everyday life. The burgeoning dominance of electric vehicles space travel are also likely previews into the Uranus in Gemini era, and we can look out for major developments in the realm of social media as well.

Neptune in Aries (March 2025 - March 2039)

Neptune's 165-year cycle means it changes sign about once every 14 years. The last Aries transit was in 1861-1875, and the ingress coincides exactly with US Civil War: Fort Sumter fell the day it ingressed. Neptune gives us dream-logic for its time, trends that are often only clear in retrospect. Austin describes the Neptune in Pisces era as valorizing qualities like acceptance & inclusivity, where the heroic figure of the time is a compassionate mystic/saintly. He predicts Neptune in Aries will valorize "the heroic." Where once suddenly everyone was an astrologer or witch, now, suddenly we're all soldiers/warriors. (This played out literally as mass conscription in the US Civil War & in England in previous Aries Neptune periods.) This period also saw developments in photography, namely war photography in newspapers bringing the goriness of war into every home. Civil War photos were originally shot in 3D and meant to be experienced through viewers, and the first color photo was taken 05/17/1861 when Neptune was at 1Aries, bringing levels of heightened realism and simulation into the conversation. Neptune in Aries faces us with forks in the road--no half measures.

Neptune in Aries can indicate wars remembered for their ideology, as was the case with the Taiping Revolt/Rebllion's bloody conclusion during Neptune in Aries (begun in Pisces). One of the deadliest wars in history (cost at least 20-30 million lives), it was instigated because of an extremist Christian religion. In medical astrology Mars-Neptune contacts can indicate autoimmune diseases where the body attacks itself, and the mundane analogy here is internal conflicts. In antiquity, the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE occurred during Neptune in Aries, Pluto in Aquarius, and the eclipse points moving from Aries/Libra to Virgo/Pisces (all configurations we'll see in 2025). This is considered a catalyzing event for the subsequent Jewish diaspora over the following centuries, as well as the shift from centralized worship to Rabbinic Judaism. In science & engineering, the steam engine, dynamite, first underground railway, Suez canal, mechanical submarine, and the concept of light as EM radiation via Maxwell equations all came about during Neptune in Aries periods.

Saturn in Aries Saturn is entering Aries from May to September this year and will be copresent with/conjoining Neptune over the next three years. Saturn is in fall in Aries, highlighting tensions between patience and impulsivity. We can also expect prominent figures to fall from grace, such as during our last Saturn in Aries in the late 1990s with the scandal around Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinksy. In personal charts, Saturn in Aries people will often chalk up their difficulties to "not trying hard enough," when really it may just be a matter of timing and patience. Famous Aries Saturn people include skater Tony Hawk, daredevil Evel Knievel, directors Francis Ford Coppola and Lily Wachawski, witch-hunting politician McCarthy, writer Margaret Atwood, actresses Zendaya and Lucy Lawless, and activist Malala Yousafzai.

Saturn Conjunct Neptune Saturn and Neptune will get within 1 degree of each other this year, though we don't get an exact conjunction til 2026. We've been seeing the buildup of this since Saturn entered Pisces in March 2023. What's real and bounded, and what's illusory and pervasive? This tension between illusions & structures likely means we'll see increased distrust in authority, such as the public doubting what's reported in news stories or fake news sparking major conflicts, and Chris predicts increasing polarization between aggressive skeptics and religious fundamentalists. Austin uses the analogy of the Mad Max: Furiosa movie--everyone is trying to conscript you to come fight with them for water. Austin notes that Saturn-Neptune contacts punctuate major events in recent Russian history, including the founding of St. Petersburg and the dissolution of the USSR. He also brings up the historical example of ronin, rogue samuari who had some public support as vigilantes, and compares it to Luigi Mangione's alleged assassination of the United Healthcare CEO, saying the public reaction to this event is a prediction of things to come.

Chronological Breakdown

Mars Retrograde: December 2024 and January 2025

We enter the year with Mars retrograde in Leo (opposite Pluto) and moving to Cancer on January 6th, and only getting to Leo on April 17th. This makes an extended transit through those two signs. Observationally, Mars is actually brightest and closest to Earth during its retrogrades, rising as the Sun sets, making him hyper-visible and much more reactive & chaotic than Venus & Mercury retrogrades. And indeed Mars's station on December 6th saw a bunch of major events: an attempted coup in South Korea, the Assad regime falling in Syria, a healthcare CEO assassinated in the US, a contested election in Romania, and the French government collapsing through a no-confidence vote.

Back to 2025, though: Mars entering Cancer on the 6th hearkens back to his last visit to the sign, September 4th-November 3rd of 2024. Events, both mundane and personal, will come back to us during this time. In politics we saw a lot of nativism and racism in US politics while Trump was campaigning, and unfortunately this is likely to resurface. Concerns over homelands & origin showed up in celebrity news with controversy over the New Orleans Superbowl booking Los Angeles-based rapper Kendrick Lamar over NoLa native Lil Wayne.

Mars is in fall in Cancer, and with Saturn in Aries later we get both malefics in fall this year. The trap of Cancer Mars is "nothing's safe enough," while that of Aries Saturn is "nothing is under enough control," and we must be on our toes to avoid falling into either. Mars in Cancer is reactive and impulsive, in contrast to the Saturnian discipline & foresight that Capricorn grants it in exaltation. In personal charts Mars rx in Cancer/Leo can show up as obstacles or frustration, or as an extended expenditure of energy in that area. Retrogrades can also bring things or people back into your life, and how you handle the situation sets you up for the next time you meet.

January 2025

We enter the month with retrograde Mars opposing Pluto on the 3rd and regressing to Cancer on the 6th. On January 15th we get the exact opposition of Mars to the Sun, days after the Full Moon, so that's another time to watch out for in events. The US presidential inaguration is on Jaunary 20th under a Sun-Pluto conjunction.

Electional chart for January:

The chart is for January 10th, at roughly 9:30AM local time to get early Pisces rising. The ruler of the Ascendant, Jupiter, is in the 4th house (♊) in a day chart and makes an auspicious conjunction to the Moon, who herself is separating from a square to Venus (♓). Venus is also exalted in the first house & on the Ascendant. This is also about as far away as we can get from the Mars-Pluto opposition while also avoiding the Sun-Mars opposition later this month. This is good for 4th house matters: not only home and family, but also matters where you're important but not visible, like a director.

Overall, January and February are dominated by the Mars retrograde, a "not so calm" before the storm of springtime.

March & April Venus goes retrograde on March 1st, regressing into Pisces before stationing direct on April 12th. Meanwhile, on March 29th we get an Aries solar eclipse, the final installation in a series going back to October 2023. The next day, March 30th, Neptune waltzes into Aries for the first time in a century. Meanwhile Mercury retrogrades from March 15th until April 7th, backtracking into Pisces while doing so. And if that wasn't enough, Saturn moves into Aries on May 24th. March & April are like a series of cascade reactions, and we'll spend the rest of the year (or few years in the case of Saturn) reacting to, cleaning up the aftermath of, and wrestling with understanding what happened. We'll definitely see major geopolitical events, maybe with bizarre connections, all the while thinking things are going in one direction when they're really going another.

Venus & Mercury Retrograde; Eclipses

Venus's station points are felt most intensely, but like with the Mars retrograde we also experience this as an extended transit of Venus through the signs of Aries and Pisces from January to June. Her retrograde also comes just 5 days after Mars concludes his own. Chris predicts that, unlike the Leo Venus rx a couple summers ago, there may be more fighting around women's issues rather than straightforward celebration. In Aries we already expecting a more combative expression of Venusian issues, and the increased activity in Aries only intensifies this prediction. Venus in Aries is not quiet--she's bold, active, and direct. In personal charts we'll see returns of events from 8, 16, or 32 years ago (last time she was retrograde in Aries), reviewing and revising relationships in the present. What and who do we want? Do we still want that? Under Venus rx we look for an unambiguous "yes." We can also see delays or postponements, scandals, and provocative art & culture. We'll be going back and forth between an exalted, compassionate Venus and a forthright, exiled Venus, choosing between the two on any given day and trying to reconcile them.

With Venus retrograde we can also think of the myth of Inanna (a story based off the Venus rx cycle), who descends through gates of the underworld and returns home to find her consort has taken the throne before she takes it back. We'll likely see stories about women in powerful positions reclaiming something after going through a struggle as Venus stations direct in her sign of exaltation. Specifically, she stations direct on April 13th conjunct Saturn (ironically another signature of Trump's upcoming inauguration), with Mercury retrograde also in Aries & Pisces at the same time. Both these planets are passing over Neptune in late Pisces as well: sometimes we have a lovely, dreamy vision that turns out to be terribly disappointing. Venus and Mercury will both cross Neptune three times, in both Aries and Pisces.

Mercury stations at 0Aries on March 29th, the same day as the solar eclipse, and switches signs with Neptune (leaving Pisces) the next day. The culminating eclipse is marred by miscommunications and illusions. As the last installment of a series begun in October 2023, this eclipse will definitely see developments in Israel's wars on other countries in the region. More generally, in mundane astrology North Node solar eclipses in Aries have coincided with the assassinations of heads of states & movements, as well as the eclipsing/stepping down of leaders...yet another signature of changing/threatened leadership in 2025.

In the middle of March we also get our first Virgo eclipse of this series, corresponding to the September eclipse in Pisces. We'll revisit the areas again in September with a Pisces and Virgo eclipse. The barrier between Aries/Pisces and Virgo/Libra sees a lot of activity in the first half of 2025. We'll definitely remember this year for the crazy Aries activity, though Austin predicts it'll come back to haunt us in 2026.

May-June-July Saturn enters Aries on May 24th, creeping up on Neptune and getting within a degree of him by July (~13th-14th), and then stationing retrograde. An outer planet's first station in a new sign signals what to expect, and Saturn and Neptune both do so in July (on the 13th and 4th respectively). From May 24th to September 1st we have Neptune and Saturn very close to each other and retrograding. Uranus enters Gemini on the 7th.

Jupiter in Cancer He enters in June of 2025, staying there until June of 2026. In this sign of his exaltation, he'll be counterbalancing some of the crazier transits of this year. He's also doing cleanup after Mar's messy transits earlier this year in the Cancer parts of our charts. Jupiter is a little folksy in Cancer--he's not just lavishing the wealthy, but is generous to everyday people as well. The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) was enacted during Jupiter in Cancer in 2013-14 (a Jupiter under attack!), bringing important healthcare considerations to this placement (A/N: Cancer as a sign of nurturing and protection). In July of 1990 during Jupiter & Venus in Cancer, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed. Chris is wary of being too optimistic, but hopes that something good in healthcare is coming forward. This transit is a Jupiter return (every ~12 years) for the US Sibly chart, and also the repetition of a longer 83-year cycle where he hits the same degree on the same day--the third one since the US's founding, making this an especially potent Jupiter return. You'll notice that's only one year off from Uranus cycles, so we'll definitely see further reevaluations of the US's founding this year.

Generally, exalted planets represent someone at the highest level of their field, and Jupiter in Cancer is a sort of "get rich slow" planet. Success is cultivated, grown, and encouraged. In June & July Jupiter will square Saturn, though, a configuration that corresponds to financial and economic crashes. Jupiter in Gemini saw tech company crashes, but in a new sign we'll likely see new industries affected.

July & August: Outer Planet Teamup

Uranus enters Gemini on July 7th, the last of the slow outer planets to ingress to his new sign. From then til October 21st, we have the rare and powerful influence of several outer planets teamed up: Uranus sextiling Saturn & Neptune and trining Pluto (meaning Saturn & Neptune also sextile Pluto). This is a sort of pilot episode previewing what'll happen when they return in 2026. These planets shift from feminine water/earth signs to masculine air/fire signs, and each outer planet (except Pluto) will retrograde into his preceding sign in October & November, giving us a break from the teamup of big players for a bit. Mars in Libra will aspect all of these outer planets in August, making the configuration especially active then.

September - Eclipse Season Last September we saw our first Pisces eclipse of this series, and we'll have had another development with the first Virgo eclipse in March. Now we're firmly in Virgo-Pisces eclipses for the next 2 years. The September 7th and 21st eclipses will have us think about the big picture vs. granular details--how can we hold them in unison? The major endings & beginnings brought by eclipses are further punctuated by Saturn regressing back into Pisces on September 1st. Maybe a last set of upgrades need to be put in place in our Pisces area, though now our Virgo house is tied in as well.

October, November, December Neptune returns to Pisces October 22nd, Uranus to Taurus on November 7th, and Saturn stations direct for his last pass through Pisces on November 27th. A new chapter of our lives has begun, but we need to do a final check-in before things reach completion. The outer planet demolition team will be back on April 25th, 2026, where it'll stay until 2032-33. Neptune will station in Pisces on December 10th, another important Pisces turning point. Jupiter stationing in Cancer on November 11th is the cherry on top for the year ending where it began (but not to stay!). We end 2025 coming full circle on our sort of last look backwards before plunging for good into new--though not entirely unknown--territory.

ᴘʟᴀɴᴇᴛꜱ ɪɴ ʀᴇᴛʀᴏɢʀᴀᴅᴇ

thank you for the 10,000+ followers! a game with no exchange will be released:)

now that i've written and understand planets in retrograde thoroughly they will be included in chart readings for free.

THE SUN AND THE MOON CANNOT BE IN RX.

MERCURY IN RX

♇ having mercury in rx makes someone think more often, especially over the most pettiest things they think is big. they're very anxious people, and since it is in retrograde it could be implied that they're "wired differently" they think more out of the box, and even speak different, how they speak and write could be very distinct.

♇ mercury in retrograde could give someone inactive relatives, or cousins and siblings they're not close to. and since they're people who doubt themselves a lot, they could stall themselves from the path they're supposed to take, being their own obstacles. they could also be people who take some time to take in/process information.

♇ as i said they're people who hold themselves back a lot, this could link to their childhood, might've had people speak over them and silence them when they were younger.

VENUS IN RX

♇ people who have venus in retrograde might focus on love too much, and they could be people who have a struggling relationship with women. sisters, women who are their cousins and women who are their friends.

♇ they could also be very secretive people, they have a hard time opening up, which could make them be deemed as cold. they have a hard time giving and receiving affection.

♇ they could be bad at handling money, and might think everyone is out to get them. they could find it hard to love themselves, having venus in rx, is the peak of the "tortured poet".

MARS IN RX

♇ those who have mars in retrograde could have a hard time getting along with men, or even with the opposite sex. to have mars in rx could mean you could be considered as someone who i very intense. can a hard time expressing your sexuality and aiming for your goals.

♇ instead of learning life lessons quick, they are normally stubborn people and barely listen to advice given to them by trusted people. could be people who are too hesitant, say and do things at the wrong time and place.

♇ people with mars in retrograde might've gone through sexual trauma, could be scared to be intimate with other people. they're people who hate authority or people trying to have dominance over them. the type of people to not listen to the rules and break them.

JUPITER IN RX

♇ people who have jupiter in rx are the definition of "thinking out of the box", they're people who do have moments that question their faith and some of these people tend to have a God Complex.

♇ sometimes they feel like they're the unluckiest person in the world, might feel like they wont be able to travel the world like they want to. could also have long cycles of depression.

♇ having jupiter in retrograde can mean they're someone who marches to the beat of their own drum, they can be very detail-oriented people, which sometimes mean they feel like they can judge anyone and think of themselves to be flawless. jupiter in rx people are the type of people who want everything in their future to be perfect also, without life's trials and tribulations. can be unrealistic.

SATURN IN RX

♇ as it is told, saturn in retrograde brings a father that wasnt in the person's life, the person who has the saturn in rx can make someone feel like they're being punished by life all the time.

♇ this could also mean they might find it hard to express themselves emotionally, could be due to their childhood. they go through many trials and tribulations, makes them depressive, but in the end they become really wise.

♇ they doubt themselves a lot, could have trouble balancing themselves, and their masculinity, could be too domineering.

URANUS IN RX

♇ people with uranus in rx do not like change, they're likely insecure, [not all are going to be due to different commodities in a chart], but these are usually people who think they are not going to succeed in life.

♇ they sometimes feel like they're in control of nothing which pushes them into their need of controlling everything. they're quick-thinkers but still over-thinkers. they feel like they can never feel nice in a platonic or romantic connection.

♇ it leads them into being paranoid and chaotic. they might also put themselves in a box to make things easier, don't know they're limiting their potential when doing that, they're so much more and need to understand it.

NEPTUNE IN RX

♇ to have neptune in rx could make the kin be very delusional, might find it hard to separate idealistic views with reality. definitely reminds me of alice in wonderland. they're very spiritual people but can over-whelm people by adding their faith into everything.

♇ could be really good at manifesting; trust issues but sometimes are stubborn from learning their mistakes. can be deemed as very dreamy and compassionate.

♇ they could have this feeling of needing to save everyone. their trials and tribulations are a creative outlet for them, another indicator of being the tortured poet. [but the tiring and damaging things they go through are usually expressed through their art, which includes writing, story-telling, writing music, painting etc].

PLUTO IN RX

♇ i do get surprised when i come across these in a natal chart reading, but, pluto in rx folks definitely do hate constraint, they dislike authority and feeling like they're being controlled, which could push them into trying to control other people.

♇ could be escapists through drug and sex, they could also find it hard to accept their dark-self. easily infatuated people, people can get easily obsessed with them as they can get with other people.

♇ good money makers, could manipulate others with materialism, though, they might not be confrontational, could feel easily intimidated. sometimes could never see the potential in themselves can be their own obstacle.

Hi , I have been reading your series and it's very useful. You have great knowledge!!!! I wanted to ask about retrograde of planets and how it affects each house . I have two retrograde planets in my birth chart and I have been to many about how to handle this but no one gave clarification.

Thank you for your time and efforts

𝐀𝐒𝐊 𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐘! - 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞

Go back to Masterlist - TikTok (Matrix of Destiny) - YouTube (subliminals)

First of all, thank you for your kind words! <3 I am glad you find the series useful - it's genuinely my honor to share my astrological knowledge. The topic of retrograde planets is indeed fascinating and can be crucial in understanding your chart's deeper dynamics. Let's delve into it step by step.

✽ Understanding Retrograde planets ✽

What is a Retrograde planet?

In astrology, the word retrograde describes a planet that appears to move backward in the sky from our perspective on Earth. Let me emphasize: the planet isn't actually moving backward - it's an optical illusion. This happens because Earth and the other planets are orbiting the Sun at different speeds.

Example: Imagine you are in a car driving past another car on the highway. For a moment, it can look like the other car is moving backward, even though it is still going forward. Retrograde motion is similar - it's just a shift in perspective.

Why is Retrograde important in astrology?

Astrologically, retrograde planets act differently than planets in their normal (direct) motion. Think of a planet in retrograde as if it is on a cosmic "pause" or "rewind" mode. Instead of moving full speed ahead, a planet's energy turns inward, slowing things down and encouraging reflection, revisiting, and rethinking areas of life it rules.

What does a Retrograde planet mean in your birth chart?

If a planet was retrograde at the time of your birth, its energy becomes more personal and internalized. You might experience the themes of that planet in a unique, non-traditional way, or they may require more effort to express outwardly. Retrograde planets in a birth chart often carry karmic lessons - indicating unfinished business or growth opportunities from past lives.

Let's clear up some misconceptions about Retrogrades:

Retrograde isn't "bad" or unlucky: Many people fear retrogrades, thinking they bring chaos or misfortune. This is not true. Retrogrades are simply periods of reflection and adjustment. If you work with their energy, they can be incredibly transformative.

Retrograde doesn't cancel a planet's power: A Retrograde planet isn't weak or powerless. Instead, it works in a more internal or unconventional way. Often, retrograde planets can lead to deep self-discovery and mastery.

(Transit) Not all retrogrades affect you equally: Whether a retrograde will significantly impact your life depends on how it interacts with your personal birth chart. For instance, Mercury retrograde might not bother you unless it is touching important points in your chart.

--> Also, imagine you are planning a trip during Mercury Retrograde. People might warn you that everything will go wrong, but the truth is simpler: you may encounter delays or need to double-check details. If you take precautions - like confirming reservations or leaving extra time - you will likely have a smooth journey. Retrogrades ask us to pay attention and not rush!

So, what does it mean when a planet is retrograde in a natal chart?

When a planet is retrograde in your natal chart, it represents a unique and deeply personal journey of growth, learning, and transformation. Its energy operates differently than that of a direct-moving planet. Instead of naturally flowing outward into the external world, the planet's influence turns inward, encouraging reflection, self-discovery, and refinement.

Think of a natal retrograde as a mentor who insists on deeper understanding and inner mastery. It is like being enrolled in an advanced course on the themes represented by that planet, often with karmic undertones.

The Essence of Natal Retrogrades:

Inward Energy: Retrograde planets in a natal chart encourage introspection. The energy of the planet doesn't express itself as straightforwardly as it would in a direct state. Instead, it becomes an internal process. This can make it seem "delayed" or "different" in outward expression.

Past-life Karma: Retrograde planets often signify unresolved lessens or unfinished business from past lives. The themes associated with the planet may feel familiar yet challenging, as if your soul has chosen to revisit these areas for growth and mastery.

Delayed development: Early in life, the energy of a retrograde planet may feel blocked or awkward. For instance, a retrograde Mercury might cause communication struggles, or a retrograde Saturn could bring insecurity about discipline and responsibility. However, as you mature and engage in self-reflection, the retrograde planet's gift often unfold in profound ways.

Non-traditional expressions: The way a retrograde planet expresses itself may not align with societal norms. This can make you feel "different" or out of sync with others in areas of life connected to the planet. For example, a retrograde Venus might mean unconventional ideas about love, beauty, or relationships.

Spiritual and personal growth: Retrograde planets are powerful tools for transformation. They encourage deeper understanding, pushing you to go beyond surface-level experiences. By working with their energy, you can unlock unique strengths and achieve lasting spiritual growth.

✽ Natal retrograde planets - meaning by planet ✽

-> Challenges: Confusion about life direction or vulnerability to deception.

-> Gifts: Profound spiritual awareness and the ability to see through illusions to find universal truth.

-> Karmic Lesson: Trusting your intuition and learning to ground your spiritual ideals in reality.

Pluto Retrograde (Power and Transformation)

-> Challenges: A tendency to suppress emotions or avoid change, leading to inner tension.

-> Gifts: Immense transformative potential and an ability to guide others through their darkest moments.

-> Karmic Lesson: Embracing the cycles of death and rebirth, letting go of control, and reclaiming inner power.

✽ The Role of the House and Sign ✽

In natal astrology, the house and sign add critical details to how the retrograde energy expresses itself.

House: This shows the life area where the retrograde energy will focus. For example:

Mars Retrograde in the 10th house: Reflects on ambition and career direction. Assertiveness at work may develop slowly but with great strength.

Venus Retrograde in the 7th house: Brings karmic lessons around partnerships and love.

Sign: This reveals how you process the retrograde energy. For example:

Mercury Retrograde in Pisces: Imaginative and intuitive thinking, but potential difficulty with practical communication.

Saturn Retrograde in Virgo: Over-analyzing responsibilities, with a need to let go of perfectionism.

✽ Examples of Natal Retrogrades ✽

Example 1: Venus Retrograde in 4th House (Cancer)

Impact: Love and self-worth are tied to family dynamics and emotional security. Early struggles with self-love may stem from childhood experiences. Relationships may feel karmic, requiring healing and reflection.

Venus Rx in Pisces is like pulling your old favorite childhood book off the shelf and discovering it all over again. Only this time, you realize that you previously misunderstood the ending because you didn’t have the right context to understand it yet. With your adult eyes, the story takes on new meaning and provides new lessons.

Astrology (Short x Sweet) 🍯✨• 2232

Full Moon in Libra 23° 🌕♎️ Apr 13, 2025

Inner Balance. Harmony. Restoration. 🎀

A wonderful Full Moon with Venus finally stationing Direct in Pisces, along with Mercury Direct in Pisces, marking the end of both Retrogrades. You will feel a Sense of Inner Peace that may have been muddled during the last month’s Rxs. The tension of Mars in Cancer & Chiron in Aries making a T-Square to the Full Moon will be intense. Expect disruptive forces, people or situations that would love to take you out of the Inner Balance that you feel during this time, likely bcz they don’t have that Balance within themselves (Ppl fighting their own demons will become apparent around this period). 🪭

You however will feel the need to fight to keep the Serenity if all diplomatic efforts fail with certain people (uk who you are dealing with, they don’t back down easily). Lilith’s Conjunction to 🌕 will boost your self-confidence & help you stand up for yourself. This is also a great time for Law & Justice related matters. Much awaited Endings in certain commitments now will feel Just, finally opening up Doors to New & Fulfilling Commitments.

An otherwise excellent time for self-reflection & self-love. Venus finally out of the Rx will help soothe any doubts, misunderstandings, or fears concerning certain soulful connections. This also helps you to find peace within yourself and dispel fears & worries wrt many aspects of your life that may have felt out of balance since the last month’s Rx. Take a fresh look at financial & business projects that you have been pondering on, you will be more confident to take on important commitments. ✨

Overall a relaxing 🌕 with a few hiccups, as energies from the past will come back to be released once & for all. Bask in the Grace & Elegance, Harmonious & Loving Energies of this ♎️🌕✨

pisces full moon • 8.30.23

pisces full moon 8.30.23 playlist

overview

this full moon is illuminating shadows. rejection, desire, and vulnerability are bubbling difficult emotions to the surface. this is an ideal time to lean into these feelings. it is time to release them without judgment. it’s not a time to ignore or deny seemingly obsessive thoughts. leaning into the things you regularly subdue will bring about a newfound freedom. it’s less about obsession and more about denial right now.

the moon conjuncts saturn is forcing us to do more than look at our emotions- saturn is telling us to clear it out or he will. most of these topics are deep. rooted- hence the intense emotions around addressing and releasing them. regret and shame might frame your viewpoint of these topics but raw emotion should be embraced right now. this time is not asking you to solve the riddle of what may come up, it’s asking you to face it and be real about how these things make you feel and to be open to the intensity of purging to make room for restoration.

the house will tell you more information, for example- this transit in the 12th house might reflect something deeply subconscious or hidden- something pushed far down or abandoned. something that may not be tangible but undeniably influences how you navigate the outside world. it’s something that may eat you alive at the thought of it, something that you subdue to function. It may feel like something you can’t explain or make sense of, let alone share. 

this transit across the third house could bring up a need to speak more freely. maybe in the form of art or journaling as well as to those close to you. feeling restricted in your voice or in how you engage with your family is likely. there may be tension or blowups/breakdowns in personal relationships. there is room for reflection around the role you play and how that affects your inner child and how you manage personal connections.

expression

this is an excellent time to be open to all forms of expression. now I’m not saying call him girl (lmao), but you should allow your subconscious to play through the mental ”what ifs” without judging your inner monologue. these are the moments when you embrace what you want (or don’t). it’s a great time to free yourself of what you feel like you “should have” said or what you feel you’ll never get the chance to say. 

writing a letter, recording a voice note, or filming a vlog are great ways to get it out. writing, art, and time out can help to make room for your thoughts to be free as well. being open to a new form of expression will invite new emotional experiences to your life. 

tbh a good cry in the shower or a stretch to open up your body could help a bunch. a meditative walk with your music library on shuffle could help eliminate pent-up energy and allow a new flow of thought. a quick sketch or a ride in a car or on a bike is a great way to make room for emotional and physical grounding.

grief

as freeing as it is to recognize and relieve yourself of bottled thoughts and feelings, it can be extremely taxing on all fronts. thoughts of what was and what never was may lurk with this energy. pisces is all about spiritual integration and intuition, so much so that lines between physical and spiritual may be blurred. this is heavy if you’re not used to it. pisces feels their way through. there is a lesson in vulnerability and shame here with saturn in pisces. you can’t fight what you feel. the more you do, the weaker your shield becomes. when you embrace these aspects, you allow these emotions to flow beneath you.

feelings of loss in connections, desires, and ambition are likely to resurface. regrets around difficult decisions could intensify emotions at the moment. this transit is asking us to revisit those deep wounds-the difficult decisions that felt like a lose/lose situation or a matter of sustainability vs. satisfaction. it’s asking us to define what is most important for ourselves. we can find our ego and heart in battle or mediation here. these are situations we might only allow to live in our psyche through dreams or thoughts. 

loss in the physical can trigger us deeply at this time. we may find ourselves in deep thought and emotional revelation about people, places, and things lost. death in the literal and symbolic sense may linger in our emotional field and amplify current frustrations further. a move, a reconciliation (or lack thereof) with someone, or a need to detach from physical things may take precedence right now. 

dreams of what never was forces us to take another look and decide what we will do about it. 

are you okay with waiting longer? will you let it go for good? will you refine your plans? are you willing to subdue your ego to give it another go? will you put your all into it? 

these are the questions that arise as we move past looking and diving into feeling. this can be intense if you don’t already have heavy 12H, 8H, neptune, jupiter, or 4H placements.

pisces full moon 8.30.23 moodboard

parting words 

this is a time that should be reserved for YOU🫵🏾. make room for emotions. feel it. allow your thoughts to go there. cry as long as you need to. be angry. smile at what was good even in the worst of situations. be there for yourself emotionally. release yourself of the guilt of desire. see you for who you are at this moment.  

vulnerability is difficult because it feels like something that is outside of ourselves. we do not fear vulnerability as much as we fear being seen being vulnerable and how others may react to things. the heart wants what it wants. love is never unrequited if it’s from yourself.

there is so much unseen and unheard that filters out our lenses of experience. critical moments like this can box us into a corner where our view is limited if we resist this energy. 

if nothing else, these heightened emotions ask you what you will do now. how will you move forward in connections or expression? there is a deep asking of you not to betray yourself this time. if you have a looming uncertainty, this is a time to understand what feelings shape that viewpoint. if you feel like imploding, this transit is making room to stand in that. this is a time to see you as you see others. give yourself the grace of understanding and accountability. Make room for fluid expression and sit in your feelings. tomorrow will come, you may or may not feel the way you feel now but you must be here for yourself in this moment fully.

Something I didn’t expect of Saturn in pisces rx in my 1H during my saturn return while Venus in Leo is rx in my 6H is getting back on my skincare routine just in time to find out they discontinued the line of products I’ve been using for 4 years 😭now I’m googling products and ingredients trying to find the closest match

[astrow1zar6]

Astro Observations-19

I notice Earth suns tend to have a very bullying type of humor. Very harsh dry humor that’s borderline offensive is their style. Sometimes it’s hard to know if they’re joking or serious especially Capricorn’s 😭

Aries men are surprisingly not as hot headed as people would expect. It actually takes a lot before they really yell at you. Usually only if u insult something they’re passionate in. The women are a lot more hot headed & easily set off imo

Mercury Rx people usually struggle with speech or reading problems. I notice it can result in having a stutter or a lisp, dyslexia or just very bad social anxiety. In extreme cases I’ve seen selective mutism. I also notice they have a very intense relationship with books & reading, it’s either they absolutely love reading or it’s really challenging for them in some way. A lot started off in their earlier years finding reading challenging then ended up loving reading as they grew. It’s like a mental exercise for them.

Saturn RX people always make bad choices lol. They always choose the path that will lead to the most hardship just for the fun of it or the excitement (which it’s normally not fun for too long) they usually grew up having a hard time with authority. Could of had very authoritative parents that were too hard on them which caused them to rebel. In this lifetime they are here to learn the value of HARD-work because in past lives these people were usually really irresponsible & put fun and pleasure over building their futures. These people will face so much disappointment until they surrender their rebel lifestyle. Deep down they do want to mature & be better but many believe they aren’t good enough. Once they reach this maturity however their life will do a 360.

Venus in the 1st house people can act very unpleasant when they are getting ignored or the attention isn’t fully on them. They value people liking them & fitting in so when they feel like they aren’t vibing with anyone they go into this deep self pity downer attitude. Their self esteem and happiness is determined by how many people accept them.

Venus in the 3rd house people have relationships that look more like friendships. Their partnerships are more playful & light then deep and intense. They usually end up dating their best friend. Could lack in the physical realm however in some cases.

Venus in the 7th house people usually have a lot of crushes. Most of them however never turn into anything deeper. It’s surprisingly hard for these people to fall in love. They can also lead a lot of people on because of their multiple crushes. Not easy to keep these people attention.

Moon in Caps are really afraid of rejection. They will act they hate you even if they’re in love with you to avoid showing their vulnerable side. Their coldness can ruin a lot of relationships that they actually really wanted.

Mercury in Pisces people can never stay on topic while speaking 😂 they have this habit of going off topic then completing forgetting why they were even telling the story in the first place. They also disassociate like a mf. They can be staring dead in your eyes for hours and not hear a word you’re saying lol.

If you try to argue with a Mars in the 3rd house you will never win. These people are natural born lawyers. They come with all the receipts 👀

Cancer placements tend to have really round faces. Like the moon.

Pisces placements are really wise and really childish at the same time. They all have this naive childish aura around them where you assume they don’t understand much but then when you really get to know them they will talk to you like your listening to an Alan Watts lecture 😂

Mercury in the 12th house I believe is the most introverted mercury placement. Even with a more extroverted mercury sign there’s still this deep reserve to them. These are usually those kids in class that you never heard speak once then they finally speak u think “holy shit they do know how to talk” lol. I notice they choose to stay quiet because people ignore them anyways. Like people will ask them to be more open and talk more & when they actually try they are usually brushed off.. it’s really not fair, and they know this all too well.

Aquarius Venus 🤝 having their friends catch feelings for them

Uranus/Venus aspects are usually apart of the LGBTQ community.

February 2025 Important Dates

AKA my notes on The Astrology Podcast's February forecast, hosted by Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. Ironically I'm late for the shortest month of the year, but anyways let's get started.

January Recap: The year began on a Mars-Pluto opposition, coinciding with the attacks in New Orleans & Las Vegas. Mars retrograding into Cancer, the sign of the home, brought him closest to the Earth he gets during his orbit and signaled the beginning of massive wildfires in the LA area (Mars was also illuminated by the Cancer Full Moon). The Venus retrograde is also a factor here (Venus entered Pisces, the sign to which she'll regress later), though I don't quite agree with our hosts' decision to focus on chart for the incorporation of Los Angeles itself, as the worst-affected areas like Altadena, Malibu, and the Pacific Palisades are all separate municipalities--maybe a chart relating to Los Angeles County would be more fitting for a metropole that's so spread out. The TikTok "ban" story happened right as the Venus-Saturn conjunction went exact in Pisces, and the 75-day extension allowing it to operate right now ends on the day Venus will conjoin Saturn in Pisces while retrograde.

More Mars stories include Justin Trudeau resigning the day Mars regressed into Cancer. During the Mars-Sun opposition right on the heels of the Cancer Full Moon (January 14th-15th--midpoint of the retrograde), South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested (who declared martial law on the Mars station). On the 15th during the Sun-Mars opposition we finally saw a ceasefire in Gaza, tying closely to Mars's position at 26 Libra on October 7, 2023. Mars-Sun developments and ~26 degrees of cardinal signs are definitely degrees to watch for this story. Venus's ingress and upcoming retrograde may also be indicating a return home for Palestinians displaced during the past 15 months.

Donald Trump's second inauguration was moved inside due to cold, the same as with Reagan's second term--another Venus retrograde in Aries time. Venus rx gives us comebacks, and not always ones we want. There was also a comet in attendance during this event, as was one during the April eclipse and during the election last year. His orders setting new ICE deportation/detaining quotas are a continuation of Mars entering Cancer last fall when this topic was first raised, and the Saturn-Neptune in Pisces story is also related.

The Sun-Pluto conjunction in Aquarius on January 20th-21st (& Uranus station surprising us) coincided with the US government investing $500 billion in AI, especially in power for the data centers (will nuclear energy come back as an alternative because of the massive power demand for this?), and DeepSeek surpassed OpenAI in popularity & use. The chart of the PRC has the Ascendant and Moon in early Aquarius, though the Pluto in Aquarius story re: China & technological innovations dates back thousands of years, pointing (in Chris's & Nick Dagan Best's opinion) to some older early chart now likely lost to time.

We entered the month of February right off Uranus's last direct station in Taurus before he enters Gemini in July, bringing disruptions and shakeups into the beginning of the month. (A/N: did anyone else have half their workplace out sick last week?) In Taurus, money can both disappear and come from nowhere--some surprises are good! Chris's electional chart was for February 1st so I'll skip it for this month.

February 1st - Venus conjunct Neptune The eclipse points, the Nodes, just changed signs, putting the North Node in Pisces with Saturn & Neptune, with Venus soon to join when she retrogrades. Events or people that seemed dreamy and rosy at the beginning of February may prove to be the opposite during the course of Venus rx. The North Node (Rahu, head of the dragon) brings a ravenous hunger to events.

February 4th - Venus entered Aries, Jupiter stationed Direct For Jupiter this is marks his last few weeks in Gemini for the next year or so. With a near-perfect trine to his ruler Mercury, we have an extra boost to our positive developments. Retrograde Jupiter is a good time to followup, and now that he's direct boons can move forward for us. Chris predicts some kind of development in voice AI technologies kickstarting around this time.

Venus ingressed from her exaltation of Pisces to exile (detriment) in Aries, and she's slowing down, making things a little more complicated than usual. With the upcoming retrograde, events we feel in our Aries houses will take three passes to full resolve this time around. She's going to be in this sign until March 27th, and will be back here from April to June. Venus in Aries can give us bombshell charisma, like that of Marilyn Monroe or Lady Gaga. Venus retrogrades have also aligned with large protest movements, especially around women's issues. Venus retrogrades in the same sign every 8 years, so look back to 2017 or 2009 for stories around this. Our hosts bring up how Lady Gaga exploded on the scene in 2009 and indeed she released a new song reminiscent of her early career right before the Venus ingress--right on time for Venus returning! In personal charts, Venus rx prompts us to reevaluate what we really want, sometimes deconstructing things to build them back up in a new way. Check your Aries house for which area of your chart where this will occur. Pay attention to cues of attraction and repulsion during this time.

February 9th - Sun conjunct Mercury This Mercury cazimi occurs closely square Uranus, an aspect that goes exact the next day. The disruptive Uranus events from the beginning of the month will come back to us.

February 10th - Mercury square Uranus

February 11th - Sun square Uranus

February 12th - Full Moon in Leo

This Full Moon occurs square Uranus just as the Mercury cazimi did. With Uranus in Taurus and the Sun in Aquarius, we can expect tech and finance to be at cross-purposes at this time. Electricity and energy will likely be key concerns around this time, especially around wrapping up the use of petroleum oil first proposed in 1855 (though it's not the only fossil fuel). Austin sees crypto as a premonition that energy may back future currencies instead of something like gold. Leo full Moons are always loud, flashy, and showy. This is the last full Moon before the Venus retrograde, before Inanna descends to the underworld, stripped of her ornaments and garments until she awkwardly meets Ereshkigal at the end of the elevator.

February 14th - Mercury enters Pisces Happy Valentine's Day!

February 18th - Sun enters Pisces

February 20th - Mercury square Jupiter

February 23rd Mars stations Direct From February 12th to March 9th, Mars will stay completely put at 17 degrees of Cancer. Anyone with placements at mid-cardinal signs, prepare for Mars to be there!

We're finally direct, but Mars gets going very slowly. "Let's train and prepare first instead of bolting ahead," he says. Projects that have been going on in this area of life may be finally paying off. Mars in the middle decan of Cancer is good for protecting, defending, and fortifying, including reinforcing or strengthening muscles or structures. The dark side of this, especially in world events, include nativism/nationalism, racism, and other us-versus-them aggression. However, Venus is set to react in a firey way to whatever events Mars sets off when she stations on March 1st. Cardinal risings will feel these stations especially strongly, possibly as turning points in conflicts, as these planets both station in angular houses for you.

February 25th - Sun conjunct Saturn

February 27th - New Moon in Pisces

The Mercury-Saturn conjunction (20-24 ♓) is still strong, possibly inhibiting communication, while Venus (10♈) and Jupiter (12♊) get about as close as they will to a sextile before she turns back to reevaluate things before fully realizing that positive thing. This stellium in Pisces (Sun/Moon/Saturn/Mercury/South Node/Neptune) takes us into a vivid, dreamy, and sometimes nightmarish space in stark contrast to the dry Aquarian energy we've experienced for much of the month. There are many strange creatures under the waves, not all of them real. Mercury will also be ramping up for a retrograde in Aries and Pisces as we get into early March, showing us even more events that we'll be returning to later. The end of February looks a lot like April; we're not gonna be done with this for awhile. With eclipse coming up, our sensory deprivation tank will become a sleep deprivation tank as we walk the edge of the coming maelstrom.

💫🔮 pick a card that you feel the most called to and receive a message below the cut 🃏 ✨

card one // the empress

(libra moon/venus, venus in taurus, taurus midheaven, venus in the 2nd & 4th house)

things feel good, don’t they? the checkbook balances and you get the things you want. you are rising above and allowing self growth to take place. take on any challenges your way with a clear level head and you’ll be light as a feather as you ascend further to the best version of yourself. creativity or love may be fueling you at this time and take some time to decompress with ritualistic self care and relaxation.

card two // six of wands

(leo sun/rising, pisces moon, natal mercury rx, sun in 10th)

you may have went through hell and back to get to this point. the end is right along the horizon, i promise you. please don’t get discouraged by situations or opinions thrown at you. you’ve worked so hard and your efforts are about to show. remember to stay humble and allow the struggles you’ve faced to transform you— not hold you back. just a few more steps and victory at last.

card three // the world

(aquarius rising, pluto in scorpio, saturn in capricorn or 10h)

in case no one has told you, the universe is proud of you. you’ve hit tremendous milestones throughout a rocky road but you may be jaded or not seeing the whole picture. in the grand scheme of things, your mistakes or misfortune does not matter when the world moves on twice as fast. if you feel like you’re spinning under the pressure, this may be a good time to start a new hobby. there’s a pent up energy that is just begging to be released.

rekindle or release? (venus retrograde in aries & pisces)

venus retograde is in aries from mar 1st - mar 27th and in pisces from mar 27th - apr 1st

aries venus rx in your 1st house:

when venus is retrograde in your natal 1st house, the themes of self, identity, appearance, and how you present yourself to the world undergo a period of introspection. this transit prompts you to reassess your self-image, the way you project yourself, and the things you value about your identity. you may feel drawn to revisit past versions of yourself, making adjustments to how you come across in relationships or public settings. there might be a sense of needing to redefine who you are, or you could experience some confusion about your appearance or personal style, potentially altering how you express yourself outwardly. venus retrograde in the 1st house can also bring a shift in perspective about new beginnings—perhaps reconsidering new projects or personal ventures you had started before or deciding to press "pause" on some aspects of your life for deeper reflection.

the glow-up pause – you may temporarily pull back on focusing too much on external appearance, revisiting past styles/ letting go of certain trends to find something more authentic.

rediscovering your true self – there's an urge to look inward & reflect on who you’ve become, reconnecting with older parts of your identity that you may have outgrown/forgotten.

unfinished business – past actions/decisions regarding self-image/life choices may need revisiting, potentially leading to revising/releasing former perceptions.

self-love reassessments – you might find yourself questioning how you treat & value yourself, leading to a potential shift in how you show up for yourself emotionally & physically.

looking back to move forward – reflecting on previous cycles in your life, you might notice patterns that no longer serve your personal growth & look to leave them behind.

identity cisis – a temporary sense of confusion/questioning of who you are, particularly in the context of relationships/new personal goals.

aries venus rx in your 2nd house:

when venus retrogrades through your natal 2nd house, which governs values, resources, possessions, finances, and self-worth, the focus is on reevaluating how you define and manage your material world. aries' influence brings a bold, assertive energy to this transit, but with venus in retrograde, there’s a sense of questioning and reassessment rather than action. you might feel compelled to rethink your financial choices, reevaluate possessions you’ve accumulated, or reconsider your approach to self-worth and how it’s tied to material success. aries pushes for independence, and during this retrograde, you may be reassessing how much your self-esteem is based on what you own or your financial achievements. there might be moments of frustration or impulsivity when it comes to spending or making decisions about resources, but ultimately, this is a time to fine-tune your values and understand what you truly need to feel secure.

reclaiming your financial independence – venus retrograde in aries may prompt you to reassess where you stand financially, pushing you to take control of your resources in a more independent & assertive way.

emotional spending reckoning – you could be confronting habits of impulsive spending that were tied to emotional satisfaction, reconsidering where & why you’ve spent in the past.

the great purge – aries energy may make you want to clear out old possessions, focusing on letting go of things that no longer serve your current self-worth/financial goals.

revisiting past investments – you might look back at past financial decisions, investments, purchases, realizing they were made hastily/without considering long-term value, leading to potential changes in how you manage money.

self-worth in the balance – the transit challenges your self-esteem & how much of it is tied to your material wealth, encouraging a shift toward valuing yourself for who you are rather than what you have.

reevaluating what you need – aries pushes you to focus on your needs over your wants, helping you determine what possessions, resources, financial goals are truly important for your sense of security & self-worth.

aries venus rx in your 3rd house:

when venus retrogrades through your natal 3rd house, which governs communication, siblings, short trips, learning, and mindset, this transit encourages you to revisit how you connect with others and how you express your ideas. aries, known for its boldness and directness, can push you to rethink the way you communicate—whether it’s with siblings, friends, or even in your day-to-day interactions. you may find yourself revisiting old conversations or unresolved issues with family members or close acquaintances. the retrograde might prompt a review of your personal beliefs, learning style, or even how you share information. during this time, your mindset could undergo a shift as you reconsider old thought patterns and ideas, potentially allowing for a more assertive, direct way of communicating moving forward. there could also be a sense of revisiting places from the past, such as old neighborhoods or locations that hold memories, to gain new insights about how you engage with your immediate environment.

rehashing old conversations – you may find yourself revisiting old discussions, whether with siblings/close friends, looking to resolve lingering misunderstandings/emotions.

words on replay – past expressions of love/disagreements may resurface, prompting you to reframe/clarify your words, especially if they were impulsive/misunderstood in the past.

family feuds & reconciliations – this transit can bring unresolved issues with siblings/close relatives to the surface, encouraging open communication to resolve old tensions.

the learning curve – your approach to learning might be reassessed. you could revisit past educational experiences, reconsider old methods, seek out new learning opportunities that better align with your personal growth.

mindset makeover – venus retrograde here challenges the way you view the world. you may experience shifts in your core beliefs/ideals, particularly regarding how you communicate/express love & affection.

short trip nostalgia – aries energy may prompt you to revisit old places/take short trips that hold personal meaning, giving you a chance to reflect on how your environment has shaped you.

aries venus rx in your 4th house:

when venus retrogrades through your natal 4th house, which governs home, family, roots, nurturing, and your emotional foundation, the focus shifts to revisiting your inner world and the connections that shape your sense of belonging. aries brings a bold, assertive energy to this transit, encouraging you to confront old emotional patterns or unresolved family dynamics. you may find yourself rethinking your relationship with home, revisiting your childhood memories, or even reassessing how you nurture and care for yourself and others. there could be a desire to make changes in your living space, but with venus retrograde, the process may feel more like reflection than action. you may feel drawn to reconnect with family or revisit old emotional wounds that require healing to strengthen your emotional foundation. this is a time to redefine what home means to you and reestablish a sense of emotional security.

home sweet (revisited) home – you may feel a pull to revisit your childhood home/reexamine your current living space, considering changes that better align with your emotional needs.

family drama redux – old family issues/unresolved dynamics may resurface, pushing you to revisit & heal past wounds/misunderstandings.

nurturing redefined – aries’ influence may encourage you to reframe how you nurture yourself & others, questioning past caregiving patterns/exploring new ways to give & receive care.

emotional roots awakening – a time to revisit your emotional foundation, possibly uncovering hidden feelings/memories tied to your family, home, upbringing that shape your sense of security.

breaking family bonds – there might be a push to break free from restrictive family patterns/expectations that have been holding you back, enabling you to assert your independence & emotional autonomy.

home healing – venus retrograde in the 4th house invites you to heal old emotional wounds tied to your home life, allowing you to create a stronger, more nurturing emotional environment moving forward.

aries venus rx in your 5th house:

when venus retrogrades through your natal 5th house, which governs creativity, romance, children, pleasure, and self-expression, aries’ bold and impulsive energy brings a time of revisiting how you express your desires and passions. this transit can spark a sense of restlessness, urging you to reassess the way you approach romance, creative endeavors, and the joy you seek in life. aries' influence pushes you to reflect on how you’ve expressed yourself creatively or romantically, and whether those outlets align with your true desires. there may be a desire to reconnect with past loves or revisit creative projects you once started but abandoned. you might also feel a pull to reignite your playfulness and spontaneous side, rethinking how you approach fun, pleasure, or even your relationships with children. venus retrograde here challenges you to re-evaluate how you seek pleasure and how you can express your individuality in a more authentic way.

creative sparks revisited – venus retrograde may bring you back to unfinished creative projects/artistic endeavors, giving you a chance to refine/rework what you started in the past.

romantic resurfacing – past relationships/romantic encounters may reappear, prompting reflection on how you express love, attraction, and affection, possibly leading to healing/closure.

spontaneous joy – you may feel a strong desire to break free from routine & rediscover what truly brings you joy, particularly through play/engaging in carefree activities.

reconnecting with inner child – venus retrograde could inspire you to reconnect with a playful, spontaneous energy that you might have neglected, allowing you to express yourself with more freedom & authenticity.

reevaluating love's expression – this is a time to reconsider how you express love & affection, especially in romantic relationships, & whether it aligns with your personal values & desires.

pleasure with purpose – aries energy might encourage you to take a more direct approach to pleasure & self-expression, prompting you to seek out what truly satisfies you, whether emotionally/creatively.

Astro Observations #1

I am not a professional astrologer but I have been studying for some years and have made some accurate world predictions; as well as, predictions for myself and loved ones.

Why do capricorn placements have anger issues? Especially Capricorn suns born in January. I can't begin to count how many I have encountered.

Libra suns are so indecisive and passive aggressive!

Cancer children love their mamas. It's a shame for those who do not have good relationships with their mom.

8H placements are as intense as having scorpio placements outside of the 8h imo. So many transformations, it feels endless.

12H moons hide their emotions well until they are under the influence of alcohol.

Moon-Mars synastry is so intense, that you want to have children with that person. Some do.

11H placements were really meant to be seen in this world.

8h suns Idk how you do it. But allow yourself one birthday where you enjoy it to the fullest without being triggered and crying.

Gemini placements are a wealth of knowledge. They really just want someone to share their little fun facts with. People who are intimidated intelligence wise tend to try to humble them or resent them for this.

Aquarius placements can be a bit selfabsorbed. But their ruler is Saturn so they get karma back quickly. And sometimes harshly.

Aries placements can be a bit extra at times. I get it their Martian, pero Scorpio placements do not act like that.

6H people really do love animals and being of service. Its also a great synastry when its reciprocated.

The theme of your upcoming SR chart really does match the natal house of that sign.

Pisces Rising may have moved a lot due to their gemini 4h.

Mars in the 3h or mercury rx in 3h is the worst time to buy a car. Investment will be wasted.

Venus rx esp in 7h or 5h in solar return chart brings back a relationship with an ex.

Are you still reading??? GREAT 🥰😊

Moon transiting your 8h or scorpio moon transits really does bring intense, eye opening dreams. Don't believe me. Track your dreams during scorpio moon each month.

Look to common themes across your SR chart, Lunar return chart and transits to your natal chart for the year. Eg. If your SR chart rising is your natal chart 4h and your lunar return has a 4h stellium, big changes on the home front.

Uranus transiting 4h in SR or Natally can bring big changes on the home front too

I hope you enjoyed. If you have any questions ask down below. I'll be doing more of these.
