After what felt like a sluggish start, the pace quickens as Jupiter has moved direct and Mars will follow suit on the 24th. Use the retrograde Mars energy to get those last little things that need sorting, clearing renovating, or redoing done now.
As Mars goes direct, Venus prepares to go retrograde from the 1st of March as the baton gets passed and the focus changes from the Yang to introspective work on the Yin. Where are you giving too much? Where are you selling yourself short? All sorts of Venus-themed things will be brought up to look at from an introspective light over this period of retrograde – relationships, past relationships, value and money-related matters, dormant creative projects may get a second chance…
The Full Moon in Leo on the 12th of February will highlight the connection between working authentically and bringing your power to the group and together in Aquarian style we can work on working together in this time of change and upheaval.
The Nodes have also changed signs and the theme of Virgo and Pisces. The Nodes bring up the imbalances and the signs show the theme. This theme is about what is real and what is not? – Chasing perfection on a physical level competing with filters and other AI-type things that can never be real.
From a Pisces angle, we can look at where we are escaping from reality through avoiding reality, and from a Virgo angl,e we can look at where we are nitpicking and overworking areas that are taking us away from our dream.
The theme of the surreal and the real will be a strong part of 2025 as Saturn and Neptune conjunct both in the last degrees of Pisces and the first degrees of Aries.
What is your dream that you want to work with this year? What seed can you plant to help to start the process of manifesting it?
Mine is definitely linked to my books and cards and things are starting to flow now.
There are no workshops in February, but I am preparing to do a Full Moon eclipse workshop in March (Sat 15th March) on connecting to our wisdom within and focussing on the Node, Pluto, 12th house, and other shadow work insights to activate our conscious understanding as to what work we need to do to embrace our authentic light and radiate it.
May this Leo Full Moon shine brightly and give you the intuitive insight and creative inspiration needed.
