July 2025 Cosmic Insights
Whether one can see it or not yet, the old ways of doing things are disintegrating before our eyes. We are moving rapidly through another paradigm shift on Earth and we can either embrace it or we can resist it. You have the freedom to decide which path you want to take, but always remember that what we resist, persists and what we accept, transforms into something new. Do we want to remain stuck or do we want to evolve? This is the real question for the cosmic invitation of the moment is to dig deep, go within and ask ourselves with naked truth, “what are we regularly giving our attention to and how is it serving us?”
Intense Gemini New Moon
The New Moon is the start of a new cycle of energy that runs a course over the two weeks following it. This particular New Moon finds three sattvic planets ~ Sun, Moon & Jupiter ~ conjunct within 1 degree of each other in Gemini, in Ardra Nakshatra (star). Ardra is a rather intense Nakshatra represented by a tear drop and a fierce form of Shiva known as Rudra. Ardra is associated with pain, but it is the kind of pain we must walk through in order to truly transform into new versions of ourselves.
2025 Mid-Year Astrological Review
In the first six months of this calendar year we have seen major planetary shifts ~ all the giants have moved signs and the ripple effect of this has been palpable to anyone tuning in and evident in the collective for all to witness. Much of the activity so far this year has been concentrated in the Sidereal sign of Pisces ~ the sign of transcendence, letting go, spiritual growth, self-awareness and intuition. Pisces is the adaptable, flowy energy of water, but it’s important to remember that water also holds incredible depth, power and force. Water can be the trickle of a stream and it can be the crushing force of a tsunami… the depths of our individual and collective unconscious waters have been churned greatly in recent months ~ the effects of which we are only starting to see now..
June 2025 Astrological Insights
This June is YANG ENERGY. Things may get heated and intense at times, but there is a positive upsurge in our energy, inspiration and drive. It is a time to take BOLD action doing the things we truly love ~ however, it is important we remain aware and mindful about how we do and say things, because the fire we have been missing for several months is returning with a rather sudden intensity, that if left unchecked, could result in flared tempers, rash and impulsive decisions and sharp words we might later regret.
Jupiter in Gemini 2025-2026
Analyses for ALL 12 Signs! Jupiter in Gemini is big life growth, bringing expansion to our social networks, interests and business ventures. The mercurial, detail oriented nature of Gemini reminds us of the big impact that small, daily steps have on our life. Daily spiritual practices, healthy rituals and self-discipline greatly accelerate our success during this time and beyond. Jupiter’s big picture visionary capacity helps us to see into the future and connect with our dreams, while Mercury’s attention to the daily details supports us in grounding that long-term vision into our life.
Full Moon Energies May 12-26
Today’s full moon in Vishaka is all about taking off the mask that pretends to know how everything “should be”. It’s about finding the balance between what we desire and what we surrender. It is a beautiful and auspicious full Moon and a little lighter than recent months, which have felt quite heavy for many of us. Libra is ruled by Venus (still exalted in Pisces) and Vishaka is ruled by the Moon. This Venus-Moon yoga is a wonderful opportunity to practice self-awareness and surrender while at the same time, leaning into our heart’s deepest desires.

Full Moon in Virgo is all about envisioning the life of our dreams. Sun moves into Aries marking the astrolgoical new year. Saturn and Rahu conjoin in Pisces bringing death and rebirth, illusion and revelation, and transformation to important aspects of our lives. A report not to be missed!
Spring ‘25 Solar Eclipse
An eclipse is like a “reset” ~ the Earth (body), the Moon (Mind) and the Sun (Soul) are in perfect alignment, but either Moon or Sun are eclipsed by one of the nodes ~ in this case Rahu eclipses the Sun. “Ra” - the rays of the Sun - are eclipsed by “hu” - the illusions of this world. Only this time Neptune, the planet of mass delusion on the lower level and transcendent levels of Spirituality on the higher level, is also part of the eclipse, which for some will bring more confusion into the mix, but also offers us a chance to experience revelation of that which has been concealed for far too long…
Lunar Eclipse Light Letter
March 2025 Cosmic Energies are intense! Two Eclipses, two retrograde planets in Pisces and Saturn makes a move after 2.5 years into Pisces, joining Neptune, Venus, Mercury, Rahu and the Moon at the end of this month. Cosmic waters are churning and everyone is feeling it.
The Great Shift of an Astrological Age
A great shift is upon us, from Astrological Age into another, from one Yuga Cycle into another.. going with the flow takes on whole new meaning as everything speeds up to align with humanity’s rising consciousness.
February 2025 Moon Energies
The February Full Moon peaks in the very final degrees of Cancer at 5:30am PST and then quickly continues on into Leo across what is known as the “Gandanta” zone. The Gandanta zone is where a planet transits from a water sign into a fire sign and essentially heats up and releases steam. Gandanta is a term that means the “untying of a karmic knot” ~ while the planet has been immersed in a water sign, it churns up the oceans of our subconscious and draws to the surface energies that need to be cleared.
Venus Exalted in Pisces 2025
Venus is a Guru planet in Vedic Astrology, a planet that can create intense cravings for material pleasures, but for an elevated and mature state of consciousness, Venus offers us insight into the kinds of evolutionary desires that bring true and lasting fulfillment in life. Find out why where you were 8 years ago might have a lot to do with where you find yourself now!
