Venus enters Aries, and this is a week to move!
Hi, Everyone,
It is the beginning of May, and it has been quite a year! So much has happened since the beginning of the year. Yet, this year began with so many setbacks. It is very tough to start a new year with Mars retrograde.
Not to mention that Mars was in its fall position in Cancer, which it was from 1/6/25 through 4/18/25. Add to the fact that Venus, which is also a personal planet, retrograded on 3/1/25 at 10 degrees and 50 minutes of the Cardinal fire sign of Aries. This was only eight days after Mars had stationed direct.
Mars retrograde is not a good time to initiate major new projects, start a new profession or job, or get surgery. Venus retrograde is not an ideal time to make a big purchase, get married, start a major romantic or professional relationship, or get a major makeover.
Some relationships can be karmic in nature when they begin during Venus retrograde; but, it is not something you normally seek. Venus was exalted in Pisces for a good portion of this year, where it is beautiful, magical, and divine. However, three meetings with Saturn, planet of restrictions and blocks, seemed to put a kibosh on all of Venus’ glory.
Venus and Saturn paired up on 1/18/25, 4/7/25, and on 4/24/25. Venus also met up with Neptune three times. Neptune is the higher Octave of Venus and is absolutely etheral in its highest vibration; but, it can also make one feel depresed or overly vulnerable. The two paired up on 2/1/25 and on 3/27/25 while still in Pisces. The two have a third and final meetup on 5/2/25 at 1 degree and 8 minutes of the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries.
This is the FIRST time in our lifetime that Venus and Neptune will meet up in the sign of Aries. This is something to watch and take notes! Mercury, the cosmic messenger, met up up with Neptune on 4/17/25, and that was the first personal planet and cosmic informer of what we can all build together on the world front with Neptune at the very first degree of Aries.
When planets transt at the world axis, they have major influence on each and every one of us. These powerful planetary transits also impact people on the world stage and bring about major world events. When planets transit at 0 and 22 degrees of the Cardinal signs, they hit all of us. Those signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn.
Venus and Mercury both retrograded in the signs of Aries and Pisces. These were celestial opportunities to work on your self worth, what makes you happy, how you can be more creative, how you can shift your thinking, how you can be brave, and how you can move ahead and let go of the past.
We experienced the final Eclipse in the Aries/Libra axis, and now it is time to focus on the messages of the Eclipses in Pisces/Virgo, which want you to create, love, serve, help, and dream. DREAM! The world is in a lot of chaos, but we have yet to see what all of these planetary shfits will bring.
Mars clears its shadow on 5/2/25, and this brings another cosmic green light to move ahead! Pluto, the planet of power, death, rebirth, and transformation, retrogrades on 5/4/25 at 3 degrees and 48 minutes of the Fixed air sign of Aquarius. We feel the energy five days before and five days afterwards.
The qualities of an outer planet are emphasized when they either retrograde or station direct. There can be major endings, reveals, power struggles, death, and major shifts. Mars and Pluto also had three battles.
They opposed and fought each other while in Capricorn and Cancer on 11/3/24, which was two days before the Election. They opposed each other a second time in the signs of Leo and Aquarius on 1/3/25, which was three days before the fires broke out in Los Angeles. The third and final time just occurred on 4/26/25 with Mars in Leo opposing Pluto in Aquarius.
Aquarius represents technology, electricity, explosions, and earthquakes. Mars and Pluto in challenging aspect are combative and war-like. It can also be a time to do inner shadow work and to purge. There have been major power outages in Portugal and most of Spain. There have been a lot of local stories about terrible car accidents with fires.
The least sad example is that there was a huge brawl on the Carnival Cruise line, where 26 people were banned from ever sailing with them again. The last thing I want to point out is that Saturn will transit at the last degrees of Pisces through 5/24/25 when it enters the Cardinal fire sign of Aries, where it transits through 9/1/25.
Saturn returns to the Fixed star known as Scheat, which is at 29 degrees of Pisces in September, and it close to that degree now. This is a Fixed Star that is associated with misery, misfortune, suicide, and being lost at sea. Over the weekend, Epstein’s victim — Virginia Guifre — sadly took her own life.
This is a very tough degree in Astrology. This is a time to focus on your own mental health. If you know people that struggle, check in with them more frequently. Saturn will return to this degree again on 9/1/25, and it will leave here altogether on 2/13/26.
The last degree of Pisces (29 degrees) is associated with empaths and true creative wizards. We have choices to work with the magic, do healing work, manifest, create, dream, look at beauty, and to try to find glimpes of rainbows in a world of darkness. We can choose together! #astrology #horoscope #Zodiac
