Year: 2025

“All the obstacles along the way
Sometimes may feel so tremendous
There are guides and spirits all along the way
Who will befriend us.” Van Morrison

“We live in a cosmos that at its deepest level is made of unfolding relationships…manifestation is an act of participation. We grow what we wish from within ourselves.” David Spangler

Mars Stations direct today – February 23, 2025  at 9PM -ending his long backward trek from early Leo to 17 degrees of Cancer. Mars has been retrograde since December of 2024.

Mars governs our desire nature – what it is that we desire and how we assert ourselves to  go about getting it.

It’s wise for the next few days to heed any information that may  surface about this area of life for you.  This time frame offers an opportunity to move forward with more clarity and optimism.

One of the Sabian symbols for today is, “The seed grows into knowledge and life.”

“I would love to live
Like a river flows,
Carried by the surprise
Of its own unfolding.” John O’Donohue

“The garden flew round with the angel,
The angel flew round with the clouds.
And the clouds flew round and the clouds flew round
And the clouds flew round with the clouds.” Wallace Stevens

The Sun moves out of Aquarius today and into the dreamy, imaginative sign of Pisces.  This ushers in (for the next month or so)  a good time for spiritual and creative work. It’s a good time to enjoy poetry, music and art and let more  inspiration flow into your life. It bodes well for retreats and renewal.

Later in the week Mercury in Pisces will square Jupiter in Gemini. It’s wise to keep a balance between thinking and feeling with these two in a challenging alignment and Jupiter’s tendency towards excess.

Neptune has been widely conjunct the North Node in Pisces and the alignment will be exact Friday. It’s wise to keep a positive view of the future. Best to pay attention to your dreams and intuitions.

Mars will be stationing direct on the 23rd – calling an end to what- for many- has been a  period of frustration and delay.

Venus will station retrograde on March 1 and the retrograde period will last through April 12. More on this later.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is, “a Hindu healer glows with a mystic healing power.”
