Mercury
Known as the prince of intellect, communication, avenues of expression, and patron of travelers. He possesses reasoning ability, awareness, and rules the brain, sight, mouth, and tongue among many other body parts, including ALL hormones. As the bearer of the caduceus, he holds healing power and has the ability to transcend dimensions.
Mercury's action can be knee-jerk, uncertain, and sometimes volatile under certain influences. Where we find Mercury in our chart indicates where and how we communicate best.
Aries
Aries is associated with quick changes and sudden forks in the road. Their life is marked by arriving at a certain place and then being turned in a new direction. Life is adventurous!
There is a dynamic restlessness to the Aries character. With the Sun in this sign, you are an activist and doer. If you have a new plan or idea—you can't wait to plunge in! The amusing little prayer, "Grant me patience NOW!" is typical of the Arien attitude.
When others first meet them, their instant impression is of something exciting, vibrant, talkative. Others will be lucky if they can get a word in edgewise. If someone brings up a topic, they will be delighted to tell in great detail exactly what they think about it.
Aries gravitate toward the center of action.
They are audacious and intent on getting their own way. Since their nature is to express power, they treat opposition as an annoyance to be brushed out of the way. They are a natural leader who exudes self-confidence.
They are generous about helping others in a crisis, are openhearted and share ideas and advice, and will even pick up the check. They are uninterested in the small and petty but can be arrogant, spiteful, and vindictive when succumbing to lower-vibrational energies.
Mercury in Aries Transit
It's not difficult to figure out how this transit will play out! Our attention to details and styles of communication become more proactive, improves, and increases. And what I mean by increases is not just substance but speed.
When Mercury is transiting through Aries, we need to keep a tight rein on our temperament, or we may find our actions more impulsive, hot-headed, and aggressive than we realize.
Because Mercury indicates short-term trips, this applies to travel as well, or we may discover ourselves in the midst of road-rage.
Aries is a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars, the God of War. This transit heralds' fresh ideas and an eagerness to begin; however, Aries is not known for long periods of effort and concentration to complete what they begin. Short-term projects and goals are more favored during this period.
Mercury in Aries Natal:
The keyword for this natal placement is "Impulsive". You are imaginative, and you have good foresight and a desire to be first in everything. You can express yourself easily and you can improvise beautifully. At times you use your nervous energies cuttingly or even sarcastically.
Impetuous and impulsive, you may tend to sudden shifts and changes of viewpoint This placement is not well adapted for sustained mental effort; therefore, you need to cultivate patience and learn to not be impatient with delays.
Witty, inventive, and quick on the trigger your ideas are original. You can be combative and love a good debate. Sometimes you can be too headstrong or too self-centered. If there are challenging aspects from Mercury to Jupiter in your chart, you are prone to exaggeration and tend to look at the world as you wish it to be, not as it really is.
Many fixed planets in our chart will help to stabilize this placement.

Venus retrograde re-enters Pisces@ 4:41 AM, EDT.
Venus Rx travels from her detriment in Aries back to her exaltation in Pisces; therefore, the complementary forces will be increased and virtues magnified to balance out the retrograde.

Venus retrograde re-enters Pisces@ 4:41 AM, EDT.
Venus Rx travels from her detriment in Aries back to her exaltation in Pisces; therefore, the complementary forces will be increased and virtues magnified to balance out the retrograde.
The transit of Venus typically signifies a period when the cosmos bestows upon us a modest gift of warmth or affection, as well as a well-earned respite. These times are often sociable and amiable, where we engage in more mingling than usual and show greater interest in fine dining and comfortable surroundings over anything that resembles work.
One way to understand a Venus retrograde, outside of understanding Venus herself, is to compare it to Mercury stationing ( which just occurred Saturday ), except the energetic disruption will be on an emotional level ( heart ) rather than a mental level ( mind ).
Just as a Mercurial retrograde, a Venusian retrograde presents an opportunity for spiritual growth through experience—if we choose to learn.
Venus in particular portends an intense evolution of the heart when she transits the various signs of the zodiac. Stationing retrograde will impact our individual patterns of how we give love, how we receive love, and how we perceive love from the filter of our heart.
The last time that Venus went retrograde in Aries was March 4th, 2017, and it retrograded back into Pisces on April 15th of 2017. Venus' initial ingress into Pisces was on January 3rd, then it departed from Aries for the final time on June 6th, 2017.
Interesting events that occurred during Venus' last retrograde was the mass protest and march by women during Trump's first 100 days. It was the largest single day protest in US history at that time with an estimated three to four million participants nationwide. The "Me Too" movement also began in 2017.
Currently across the country, massive protests are taking place organized by women, veterans, social groups, and organizations. It appears these patterns may be repeating themselves, especially when Venus passes through the same degrees on the same days with relationship to the Sun as it did in 2017.
Ironically, The Handmaid’s Tale premiered April 26th, 2017. Based on the book by Margaret Atwood, depicting a dystopian future in America controlled by Christian Nationalism, which suppressed women's rights, making slave ownership and rape a legal facet in the name of "God".
You can read more about the history of Venus in Aries here.
It would benefit us to demonstrate a bit more caution in our actions by refusing to make impulsive decisions. Whether considering a separation, reunion, established boundary, or major purchase, we should take time to consider long-term consequences.
Especially with Mercury Rx until April 7th ( though the postshade period will last until April 22nd.
Venus will station direct in Pisces Saturday, April 12, and re-enter Aries for the final time Wednesday, April 30th.

Mercury re-enters Pisces tomorrow night in the realm of Creativity and Life @ 10:18 PM, EDT.
The fifth house is the perfect setting for self-expression, joy, and confidence despite Mercury entering his detriment retrograde.
Next year, 2026, Mercury Rx will occur solely in Pisces, and in 2027, it will begin in Pisces and end in Aquarius.
When direct, Mercury entering Pisces defines intuitive reliance. Mercury is logical; Pisces is intuitive. Mercury is intellectual; Pisces is dreamy; however, when retrograde, we may experience uncertainty and lack of mental grasp.
As is typical with the prince of communication, patron of merchants, guardian of travelers, and all-around jokester, it's important to consider delaying life-changing or important decisions until after this retrograde period.
Mercury represents avenues of expression, rules the brain, and ALL hormones; thus, we may feel emotionally overwhelmed or imbalanced. We may also discover difficulty staying productive and focused. Choosing to spend our time in quiet reflection and study, or doing things we truly enjoy, especially in nature, will benefit us the most during this transit.
Pisces is intuitive, compassionate, sympathetic, emotional, and psychically astute. However, in this arena of emotion, we find a lack of logic, an absence of a defined course, no established pathways, and no distinct markers — everything here is entirely non-linear. Solitude can assist us in reconnecting with our intuitive side and empower our discernment regarding the root cause of feelings that disturb us and provoke negative reactions.
This transit encourages expressive exploration as opposed to oral communication by encouraging us to investigate beyond the spoken word's superficial layer to discover the underbelly of meaning. The approach promotes poetic expression above plain prose, values artistic representation over factual discussion, and favors musical composition instead of fixed cognitive structures.
Here we have an opportunity to rise above ordinary channels of creativity and commerce and access a deeper well of inspiration and imagination. It's a steppingstone to understanding and trusting our intuition rather than relying on reason.
Awareness and grounding exercises can assist our focus to prevent impractical thoughts or feeling misunderstood, which can lead to procrastination and indolence. Avoid too much caffeine and sugar, as they can be emotional triggers via hormones. And for many women, soy is also a factor to be considered.
Be charitable toward others and ourselves alleviates the urge to escape into a form of addictive behavior. Believing in our self and our ability to make a vital contribution to this planet through the creative process eases this transit for those who find it challenging.
This retrograde has the capability to infuse us with valuable information which will enable us to embrace uncomfortable feelings without identifying with them. During this transit, seize the opportunity to break internal patterns through expressive outlets of creation: Art, poetry, theater, or music.
This method of embracing and releasing pent up emotions via creativity provides room for something new that can benefit growth.
We have the option to be flexible and adaptive during this transit, no matter what circumstances we face. Utilizing the above suggestions will always provide a way out. Remember, it things seem confusing, it's only three weeks, so don't lean into logic but allow intuition to be your guide.
If your natal placement is Mercury retrograde in Pisces, you've most likely experienced a life of heightened sensitivity, deep introspection, and a strong intuition. The fusion of Mercury’s mental capabilities with Pisces’ imaginative spirit results in someone with an intricate inner life ( even though this detrimental transit can have negative effects ).
You may face challenges; however, you can also gain the potential to achieve deep insight and express yourself creatively, highlighting the importance of the 5th House energy of creativity during this transit.

Neptune entered Aries this morning for the first time in 165 years and will remain there until 2039. I was thinking as I composed this that I will be 79 years old in 2039; therefore, this could be my final experience of a Neptunian transit, or any outer planetary transit, for that matter. If it is, at least I'll go out with a bang!

Neptune entered Aries this morning for the first time in 165 years and will remain there until 2039. I was thinking as I composed this that I will be 79 years old in 2039; therefore, this could be my final experience of a Neptunian transit, or any outer planetary transit, for that matter. If it is, at least I'll go out with a bang!
2025 has been predicted to be a year of profound shifts encompassing new beginnings and endings on a generational level.
This Neptunian transit is the secondary step readying us for a new paradigm shift because every outer and transcendental planet except Pluto, who completed his transit into Aquarius November 2024, will be entering new signs this year.
So, what is a transcendental/generational planet? There are three planets considered transcendental: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. When a transcendental planet such as Neptune ( considered the higher octave of Venus ), enters a new sign, it leaves an imprint on an entire generation.
Each generation is measured as the space between reproductive cycles and children ( roughly 35 years ). In astrology, the difference is measured by five signs, a quincunx or inconjunct ( coming of age "aspect" @ 150° ). Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto all take between 84 ( Uranus ) - 248 ( Pluto ) years for one cycle of the zodiac; therefore, these three planets are considered transcendental, or generational.
The remaining outer planets are Jupiter and Saturn, which take 12 - 30 years to cycle the zodiac. While all planets beyond the asteroid belt are considered "outer", only the three aforementioned are transcendental.
With Pluto—the third transcendental planet—grounded in Aquarius, Neptune—the second transcendental planet—having entered Aries, the remainder of outer-planets are closely following: Uranus—the first transcendental planet—enters Gemini for the first time in 76 years, followed by the two outer planets: Saturn stepping into Aries for the first time since 1999, and Jupiter entering Cancer for the first time since 2014.
You can see how significant these outer planetary transits are. Typically, when just one of these planets changes signs, it’s felt collectively. But to have all five entering new signs in such a close proximity to one another can be considered unprecedented in modern history.
Neptune in Aries
Neptune in Aries combines the dreamy nature with vibrant action. Aries activates us to demonstrate our spiritual and imaginative traits through bold and assertive behaviors.
Those with this natal placement demonstrate both imagination and idealism along with an enthusiastic drive to achieve their dreams.
This transit serves as a journey toward self-understanding and spiritual enlightenment which strengthens personal identity and life purpose.
This ingress will shape personal development and goal achievement throughout the next 14 years, creating a distinctive combination of vigor and inner reflection that has the ability to direct us to our future goals.
Neptune in Aries Historical
From a historical perspective the discovery, naming, and recognition of planetary bodies in outer space has coincided with leaps in the evolution of human consciousness and corresponding cultural changes.
For example, just before and after the discovery of the first transcendental planet, Uranus, in 1781, humanity witnessed the American and French Revolutions.
When Neptune, planet of mysticism and illusion, was discovered in 1846, idealist movements such as transcendentalism and spiritualism emerged. In 1930, with the sighting of Pluto, planet of mass transformation, the awakening of a sense of collective welfare and the dawning of the Atomic Age brought humanity face-to-face with a choice of life or death.
The discovery of each new outer body indicated that humanity was ready to activate and integrate the archetypal principle inherent in the mythology of that planet.
Neptune has been in Aries six times since 1000 A.D. While many significant events before the 1800's occurred, I'm only going to focus on the last due to time and length:
Neptune was in Aries between 1861 to 1875. The following events occurred during this time:
• The American Civil War symbolizing themes of freedom and new beginnings.
• Native American wars and the development and forced occupation of reservations.
• Emancipation Proclamation that freed enslaved people.
• The 14th Amendment to the Constitution is ratified, granting citizenship to
all persons born or naturalized in the U.S.
• Passage of the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery.
• Ratification of the 15th Amendment, granting suffrage to African American men.
• Wyoming & Utah grant unrestricted suffrage to women
• Michigan and Minnesota grant women suffrage rights for school elections.
In reviewing the above we can determine some themes of Neptune in Aries:
• Upheaval: Political, spiritual, and philosophical change
• Visionary advances: Freedom and equality
• Innovation: Forward movement
Comparing the above to the current political, spiritual, and philosophical climate here in the US, it's not difficult to see how this pattern is repeating.
Neptune entering Aries is akin to slagging through a foggy more and suddenly emerging into brilliant sunlight. Our eyes may sting, our skin, damp from the fog, begins to sizzle, and the dreaming of a clear path is a reality right before us. This transit isn't about daydreaming but day doing. It's not about self-pity or frustrations, but courage and commitment to accomplishment.
And yet, these elements can balance one another beautifully: Fiery Passion & Deep Tranquility.
Utilize caution in regard to over-ambition or you could overlook pertinent details. Exercise patience but not indolence. Be ambitious but not foolish. Fuel the pioneering spirit carefully with intuition.
With Neptune, you have to ensure that the guidance you're receiving is your own and not absorbed from an outer influence. Reality and delusion are polarized here and swinging too far to one side has its consequences.
And why would you do that when you can reconcile them so easily by retreating into yourself to discover your own intuitive voice and guidance. Just don't stay there. And why would you? You have a generational imprint to leave behind in the form of history.
Each generation out of relative obscurity must discover its mission, fulfill or betray it. ~ Franz Fanon, Revolutionary writer and psychologist

Venus enters Aries overnight @ 2:57 AM, 5th House, the natural home of Leo ruled by the Sun.

Venus enters Aries overnight @ 2:57 AM, 5th House, the natural home of Leo ruled by the Sun.
"Venus was originally an Italian goddess of blossoms; hearts and flowers eventually were incorporated into this mythos due to her loving, passionate and creative energies; in fact, her name became the root for the word venerate—to lift up, worship, or esteem."
Later she was adopted by the Greeks as Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, followed by the Roman Venus.
Venus enters her detriment in Aries; therefore, her influence will assume more of Aries' coloration; therefore, be cautious about our actions and behavior. Venus is notorious for socializing and flirting, which can set some wildfires of emotion where quick-tempered Aries is concerned.
The fifth house represents our playful side, which emerges only after work is completed and it's time for entertainment and celebration. It embodies the charming, creative, and delightful aspects of our personality, where we discover our hobbies, interests, and companions for leisure activities.
Joy is encapsulated here, and the fifth house radiates when we engage in creativity, allowing us to recognize a fragment of ourselves within our creations, ranging from the smile of our child to a work of art. This house is also traditionally associated with speculation, so be careful what you assume or put forth as truth.
The transit of Venus typically signifies a period when the cosmos bestows upon us a modest gift of warmth or affection, as well as a well-earned respite. These times are often sociable and amiable, where we engage in more mingling than usual and show greater interest in fine dining and comfortable surroundings over anything that resembles work.
During the span of this transit, Venus will traverse approximately one degree every two days. This gradual transition will allow us to observe subtle changes in our sentiments regarding love and romance until she stations retrograde March 01 @ 7:36 PM, EST, at which time the energy fluctuates to one of deeper introspection, checks and balances, as finances could go off the rails during this Rx.
Aries' energy motivates us to embrace boldness and creativity in matters of love; however, with Venus Rx we may demonstrate a bit more caution in our actions by refusing to make impulsive decisions. Whether considering a separation, reunion, or established boundary, we are more apt to take our time.
Also guard against impetuous, aggressive behavior, especially in partnerships. Those of us currently in romantic partnerships are urged to reconcile after minor disputes or misunderstandings by assuming responsibility for their actions coupled with a commitment to change, as this would foster a trust that endures a lifetime.
This placement can be a blessing or a curse whether Venus is retrograde or not. There could be more dramatic energy manifesting itself as possessiveness, jealousy, and even obsessiveness. This is why overtly flirtatious behavior and/or excessive socializing as per Venus' nature can easily trigger a partner.
On the other hand, if we pay close attention to any red flags of our behavior, this transit heralds an exhilarating period characterized by vibrant passion and a zest for adventure, albeit the treks may be of a somewhat slower nature.
This transit favors travel, communication, and pioneering new projects. Aries embodies energy and action combined with courage while Venus represents affection, socializing, and a sense of value. Therefore, this transit lends the confidence necessary for new adventures or romantic relationships; however, while reviewing our current situation and the nuances of change now presenting themselves through her retrograde movement.
Venus Rx will re-enter Pisces March 27 @ 4:41 AM EST.

Mercury enters Pisces: Intuitive Reliance.
Mercury enters his detriment in Pisces @ 7:07 AM, 2nd House, the natural home of Taurus ruled by Venus. This is a house of values and substance, and a realm encompassing financial affairs, possessions, our need for fulfillment, emotional feelings, resources, and a sense of self-worth.
Mercury is logical; Pisces is intuitive. Mercury is intellectual; Pisces is dreamy.
Mercury is the Archetype of the Messenger and avenues of expression. He also possesses reasoning ability, awareness, and rules the brain and ALL hormones. Additionally, Mercury's action can be knee-jerk, uncertain, and sometimes volatile under certain influences.
Pisces, on the other hand, is intuitive, compassionate, sympathetic, emotional, and psychically astute. However, in this arena of emotion, we find a lack of logic, an absence of a defined course, no established pathways, and no distinct markers — everything here is entirely non-linear.
This transit encourages expressive exploration as opposed to oral communication by encouraging us to investigate beyond the spoken word's superficial layer to discover the underbelly of meaning. The approach promotes poetic expression above plain prose, values artistic representation over factual discussion, and favors musical composition instead of fixed cognitive structures.
Here we have an opportunity to rise above ordinary channels of creativity and commerce and access a deeper well of inspiration and imagination. It's a steppingstone to understanding and trusting our intuition rather than relying on reason.
As a sign of spirituality, Pisces offers Mercury the experience of transcending the limits of logic and reason to discover new ways of navigating a reality that doesn’t always “make logical sense”. This may prove challenging for Air signs who aren't comfortable in emotional waters: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, and the earth sign Virgo, ruled by Mercury.
Awareness and grounding exercises can assist our focus to prevent impractical thoughts or feeling misunderstood, which can lead to procrastination and indolence. Avoid too much caffeine and sugar, as they can be emotional triggers via hormones.
We can consciously choose the artistic side of our spiritual gifts. And we ALL have those gifts. Also, being charitable toward others as well as our self keeps us in check. Believing in our self and our ability to make a vital contribution to this planet through the creative process eases this transit for those who find it challenging.
Lastly, realize that ANY feelings of insecurity, doubt, melancholy, pessimism, misunderstandings, and the like could simply be Mercury kicking up his heels in a place where he must conform. When we stop resisting the inner pull of our intuition, the waters will clear, and we'll realize it was the most logical thing we couldn't done.

Pallas Athene enters Aquarius tomorrow afternoon @ 2:25 PM, 7th House.
The Greeks worshipped Pallas Athene, goddess of wisdom and justice, as patroness of the arts and protectress of the state.
Through her all-encompassing perception, she gave wise counsel to the people of the earth.
Pallas Athene, the favorite daughter of the new sky god
Pallas Athene enters Aquarius tomorrow afternoon @ 2:25 PM, 7th House.
The Greeks worshipped Pallas Athene, goddess of wisdom and justice, as patroness of the arts and protectress of the state.
Through her all-encompassing perception, she gave wise counsel to the people of the earth.
Pallas Athene, the favorite daughter of the new sky god Jupiter, was believed to be conceived by himself and birthed from his head.
Symbolically, these four asteroids represent aspects of the archetypal feminine principle that are now emerging into mass consciousness.
In her role as daughter, she symbolizes the principle of creative intelligence giving birth to thought forms. Through her knowledge of the natural laws of manifestation, she functions as one’s capacity for realization and accomplishment.
Before the use of the asteroids, the ONLY significators of the feminine in traditional chart interpretation were the Moon and Venus. The socially acceptable roles for women were the Moon as mother and Venus as mate. This began to change when the first four feminine asteroids were discovered in the 19th century when the women’s movement, led by Susan B Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, sought to increase women’s participation in society.
These seeds did not bear fruit, however, until the early 1970s at the same time Elenor Bach published the first asteroid ephemeris. At this point, the aspects of feminine expression fully entered into the consciousness of humanity.
Women became imbued with seed possibilities of feminine creativity and intelligence that transcended the traditional roles of mother and wife. Consequentially, society saw the widespread entrance of women into the fields of politics, arts, education, sports, and other professional careers. It also marked a time of rediscovery of women’s history and the revival of the Goddess in women’s spirituality.
Pallas in the 8th House indicates a strong psychic and oracular intelligence. These people have creative skill with join business and money affairs, the power of sexual magic, and using kundalini yoga as a spiritual transformer. One can experience limitations and restrictions in traditional sexual expressions and instead sublimate sexuality into the field of creativity and transformation.
Pallas in Aquarius represents a futuristic perception. One can "see" in terms of all the various possibilities of the future. As a healer, she works with vibration, healing with color, sound, crystals, and white light ( as a reflector of the Sun's Leo's rays ). Aesthetically, she expresses through creating the new. As inventor or genius, she creates science fiction art, computer graphics, new-wave music, rock video, and radical art.
These artists are out on the forefront of the future, translating the tone of what is coming in for the masses. Politically, Pallas Athene in Aquarius is the political revolutionary, advocating and defending humanitarian causes and organizing grass roots and protests. The wisdom of Pallas Athene in Aquarius is the wisdom of the future — creating forms that will benefit generations to come.
Examples of individuals with Pallas Athene in Aquarius: Abraham Lincoln, Earl Warren, and Martin Luther King, all political mavericks and humanitarians.
Aesthetically, she brings out the poetic, inspirational, and illusory qualities in artistic expression. There exists creative skill in the media of film and photography, which play with light and illusion, and in ethereal music ( synthesizer ), which evokes feeling.
It's beneficial to determine where Pallas Athene resides in your natal chart: Zodiac sign, House, and aspects she is making to other planets for a deeper insight into yourself.
Pallas Athene Ingress aspects:
Pallas Athene sextile North Node in Pisces trine South Node in Virgo trine Sedna in Gemini sextile Juno in Scorpio, creating a futuristic, humanitarian cojoining of energy involving committed relation/partnerships which may include resisting authority, collective advocacy, and leaving behind an outdated past for the benefit of a future collective.

Juno enters Sagittarius @ 10:32 PM, EST, 3rd House, the natural home of Gemini ruled by Mercury, enhancing logic, reasoning ability, and all forms of communication in committed relationships.
Originally known as the Goddess Hera in Greek mythology, she was revered by the Greeks for her beauty and fidelity. An idealized wife, she exemplified the duties and attitudes of a proper mate within the institution of marriage.
She became the Olympian Juno upon her marriage to Jupiter, and initiated women into the rites of marriage. Her placement can show us how we feel about marriage, what marriage means to us, what we do or do not desire in our marriage relationship, or if we even want to get married in the first place.
Juno symbolizes the principle of relatedness. She represents our capacity for meaningful relationship and the degree of awareness and sensitivity that we bring to another person.
She also describes the ways in which we face the issues of compatibility, receptivity to others, mutual sharing, trust, jealousy, possessiveness, and power struggles. Here, concepts of commitment expand ( Jupiter's influence ).
Sagittarius offers Juno a less defined understanding of monogamy which leans toward idealistic views, while Juno represents formal commitment and power balance.
This transit allows partners to communicate better and explore new possibilities in their relationship while addressing power imbalances and discussing different perspectives on fidelity.
Relationships that begin when Juno is transiting Sagittarius require freedom for either one or both partners if close aspects with natal charts.
Those with Juno in Sagittarius natal placements require intellectual stimulation with their partner. Consensus on a belief system or a mutually shared vision of the future is required.
Rigid insistence on one's own beliefs, religious fanaticism, or inflated expectations of the future can result when a unifying vision is not shared.
Your beliefs and ideas need recognition from others. Guard against taking things too personally by becoming excessively agitated when others prevent you from expressing your opinion. You desire a partner who values your views and allows you full freedom to communicate your thoughts.

Ceres enters Pisces @ 5:52 PM, EST, 7th House.
This Roman goddess was originally known to the ancient Greeks as Demeter. Her name was derived from da meter, meaning "Earth Mother". She is the sister of goddesses Vesta, hearth and home, and Juno, committed relationships.
As goddess of agriculture and the harvest, Ceres symbolized the cultivated, fertile soil that fed and provided for humanity. One of the greatest ancient myths involves the daughter of Ceres, Kore/Persephone's abduction by Hades/Pluto to the underworld. Cere's loss of her daughter became a lesson of loss and return that was re-enacted for roughly 2,000 years as the initiation rites of the Eleusinian Mysteries.
In an act of rage against her brother, Zeus, who had approved of Hade's abduction of Persephone, Ceres prevented the ripening of crops so that they withered in rot in the soil, on their vines, stalks, and branches. If she must live without her daughter, then humanity would suffer without sustenance, symbolized by winter.
Realizing his defeat, Zeus eventually compromised to allow Persephone to return to her mother in the spring of each year and remain through summer. Thus, spring symbolizes the lifting of Ceres' curse upon the earth.
The soil became rich and fertilized once again, and fruits were bountiful. Persephone's return to Pluto is symbolized by autumn, when death begins to ripen into winter.
According to C.G. Jung, "To enter Ceres mean to be pursued, to be robbed, to be raped, to fail to understand, to rage and grieve, but then to get everything back and be born again." He believed that the function of mother in psychology governs a number of qualities that cannot be contained to just one zodiac sign, and attributes Ceres functions best in Cancer, Taurus-Scorpio, and Virgo.
Ceres' aspects to the planets describe how the nurturing/mothering function may be integrated with other areas of the personality.
Harmonious aspects in a transit or natal chart indicate easy blending while stressful aspects signify potential conflicts between nurturing needs and individual requirements. Balancing these two polarities eliminates the need for stress as a motivational factor.
Cere's will enter Pisces square to Sedna 00°GEM06' and Juno 00°SAG29'. Conversely, Juno sits opposite Sedna 00°22', forming a T-square. This is significant, particularly on the critical 00° ( referred to as the Ingress ) which symbolizes the beginning of an astrological season or a planet’s transit through a sign.
Because this degree is the beginning, the zodiac signs the planets enter is VERY felt here. In this case, we have Pluto in Aquarius, Juno in Sagittarius, and Ceres in Pisces on the 00°; therefore, the traits of Aquarius ( imagination ), Sagittarius ( visualization ), and Pisces ( understanding ) will be intensified.
The square aspect represents a challenge, dynamic tension, turning point, or accomplishment.
The potential of any chart lies in its squares and if you don't understand them, they can appear as stumbling blocks; however, understanding them enables us to construct steppingstones based on decision followed by action.
Aquarius is a fixed sign; therefore, the action is slow and deliberate, while the mutable Sagittarius and Pisces' actions will be variable depending on the influences of the former fixed signs.
Therefore, we can assume that Ceres entering mutable Pisces will vary her action on understanding based on the impact of Pluto in Aquarius' imagination/revelation and Sagittarius' unifying vision.
Steppingstones or building blocks are established when our attention is focused on actions that produce long term results aligning with our visions.
Stumbling blocks will occur if we allow our thoughts to travel to self-doubt or if fear paralyzes us from making positive choices. Indecisiveness facilitates not only procrastination but a sinking ship of dreams.
These aspects will continue well into the second week of March and will be followed by a square to Jupiter in Gemini, where our forward movement and resolve will be tested.
This is yet another opportunity to expand our interests through partnerships, dedication to hard work, and structural organization that brings about initial results that boost our self-confidence and validate our worth.
The opposition between Juno and Sedna emphasizes the need to unify energetic polarities involving committed relationships and more advanced sensory perceptions rather than traditional methods. It's time to step out of the box and into our dreams.
Ceres in the positive characteristics of Pisces combines the nurturing aspect with that of compassion, understanding, intuitive empathy, and forward movement should we utilize the power of the aforementioned aspects.
Conversely, the "angry mother" aspect of Ceres can emerge through the negative characteristics of Pisces as melancholy, pessimism, emotional inhibition, and indolence.
The "Great Mother" in Pisces presents a wonderful opportunity to nurture our own minds to achieve spiritual heights in character and goals.

Vesta enters Scorpio this evening @ 6:10 PM, EST, 5th House: Passion meets Intuition in this coupling between our inner flame and intensity.
As Goddess of the Hearth, the Greeks worshipped Vesta as the keeper of both the sacred fire and the home fire. She was a symbol of protection which insured the cohesion of the state and family for the people of the earth.
Vesta in the fifth house suggests a dedication to one's personal creative expressions—children or artistic forms. Alienation from children, romance, and the pleasure or creative blockage can often result. Sexual inhibition occurs through excessive sublimation of sexual energy into fifth-house affairs, or a painstaking focus on flaws may sabotage spontaneity.
Because Scorpio is associated with unearthing, we are apt to be more perceptive during this transit, particularly regarding the undercurrent, or things not seen. This window also signifies focus and creative passions associated with transformation and intimacy.
Throughout this transit, our determination and willpower enable us to overcome obstacles because we are in tune to a higher purpose. This alignment with something greater than ourselves can influence us to forgo personal pleasures to seek knowledge and wisdom.
The mysterious and/or taboo become more magnetic during this transit, creating potentially new avenues to pursue our desires. Our heightened insight enhances Scorpio's x-ray vision, enabling us to see through facades.
We can expect more clarity regarding our values and may discover fulfillment through our intimate relationships.
We are also presented with new opportunities for growth that will prompt us to face our subconscious fears and the empowerment of overcoming them.
Vesta in Scorpio’s meaning in the Transit Chart brings new opportunities for growth. You face your subconscious feelings and can become empowered by dealing with inner fears.
Vesta in Scorpio manifests with intensity and depth, and individuals with their natal Vesta in Scorpio pursue profundity all their commitments.
These natives regard sexuality as the peak of experience, regardless of social taboos. However, they may also experience feelings of guilt or shame in sexual affairs, leading to sexual inhibition or repression.

Venus glides from progressive Aquarius into charitable Pisces tonight @ 10:25 PM, EST, 7th House.
Venus rules Taurus and Libra; however, is exalted in Pisces, and is known as the planet of Love. She rules over artistic endeavors, cultural influences, aesthetics, beauty, charm, good taste, and partnerships.
The keyword for Pisces is "understanding", as they possess a compassionate and sympathetic nature when demonstrating their positive characteristics.
These two are cojoining in the 7th house, representing intimate relationships and those we attract through friendships, romance, and even business partnerships of all kinds.
This house is the natural home of Libra, where those around us become mirrors and teachers on our journey to knowing our worth.
Venus has been under the liberating influence of Aquarius; however, moving into Pisces will place her under the dreamy influence of Neptune, ruler of the mystical and spiritual.
Here she is exalted and can strut about from under the weight of the crown, as an heiress flitting about socially without shackles.
Venus is not just considered the Goddess of Love, but the glue of the Universe—as love is the highest essence of all creation. Thus,
"Live each moment to the fullest" should be our mantra!
DIVE into Love. And I don't mean just romantic love, but that of friendship, the earth, creation as a whole. Fall in love with every moment of every day and all that you are blessed with.
Revel in the essence of Love - travel, go places you've never been, experience things you've never done throughout this lovely influence.
It's also the perfect time to heal estranged relationships. Love heals all things, so be kind, be courageous, and be love in all your deeds and communications.

OOB Mars Rx re-entered Cancer @ 5:44 AM, EST, 8th House, the natural home of Scorpio ruled by Mars/Pluto.

OOB Mars Rx re-entered Cancer @ 5:44 AM, EST, 8th House, the natural home of Scorpio ruled by Mars/Pluto.
Cancer has a very nurturing and connective nature while Mars, on the other hand, is all about forcefulness, and aggressive acquisition.
Mars can bring resistance and conflict to the ethos of Cancer, who may attempt to stifle his nature in return—which is, of course, utterly contrary to what he represents: heat, fire, violence, and war. His negative side can also produce illness or sudden accidents.
His power loses a great deal of force in the watery, emotional sign of the Crab, and he finds himself unable to control circumstances and situations with the force he is so accustomed to wielding at will.
In some signs, such as Aries, Scorpio, and Capricorn, Mars is magnificent! We witness positive traits of strength, courage, and tenacity. Conversely, when poorly placed, we cringe at his sudden destruction, angry disruptions, and self-centered crudeness.
In essence, Cancer has an unruly and rebellious child in her home producing an upheaval in balance and harmony in this sensitive sign.
UNLESS Mars can transform his nature from aggressor to protector.
The weaponry Mars wields are those of battle—the goal, as is the case of all war, is to divide and conquer. However, being Mars is divided from himself in this placement, additional attempts to divide will only exacerbate rather than solve the issue. So why not surrender and instead choose to protect the domestic realm of this emotional, watery sign?
The hard-shelled Cancer won't budge to Mars' attempts to divide and conquer; however, it WILL appreciate Mars' masculine protection. And, after all, what man doesn't love being considered a protector and hero?
Therefore, it is up to Mars to conform. Ruled by the Moon, Cancer's soft and yet firm in her boundaries; thus, she wraps each planet who visits in a warm womb of welcome.
Reconciliation and connection are her priorities, which, as you can imagine, does not make a warrior comfortable.
Whatever primordial urge that Mars connects to through this Lunar sign can remain suppressed, burst through suddenly, indicative of a destructive or rebellious teenager, or 'Warrior at Home' syndrome, OR transform into a protector of the home.
This transit is akin to a soldier returning home after war but forgetting to leave the soldier on the field of battle. Instead, he brings the battle home. This has been documented repeatedly throughout history in veterans suffering from PTSD.
Yet, the man is very much within the warrior and is being given an opportunity to reconnect with love, nurturing, and his natural tendency to protect.
This includes the love and nurturing of himself by himself and a reconnection of spirit.
which is so much more than a wo/man having to conform to the rules of home. On the contrary, it's all about self-love and accepting love from others.
Therefore, no matter what tactics outside of the protector Mars employs, Cancer isn't budging; her offer is firm. If Mars balks, then it will resemble a divisive family conflict, or all-out war, where no one truly triumphs. Least of all Mars, who will leave this watery sign without the gift or vital knowledge of self-surrender through acceptance.
Aggressive actions will rip apart the very foundation Mars fought with fire and brimstone to protect, while Cancer kept the home fires burning, waiting for the Warrior's return.
And there's your irony in a nutshell.
In the book, “Astromythology” (Llewelyn, 2004), Raven Kaldera assigns Mars in Cancer to Frey, a god from the Norse pantheon who gives up his sword in exchange for love.
That is a perfectly adept metaphor for this fiery transit through water. Like the Klingon Warf laying down his killer instincts for the Betazoid Councilor, Deanna Troi.
Lay down your sword and shield, Warrior. Partake of the fruits of your victory, learn to love yourself by allowing the nurturing nature of Cancer to imbue you with peace from within—that you may rest for just a bit before rising to battle again.

Mercury entered Capricorn @ 5:30 AM, EST, 2nd House, the natural home of Taurus ruled by Venus.
Mercury rules chatty Gemini and analytical Virgo, so moving into an earthy sign such as Capricorn denotes a serious preoccupation with our thoughts and feelings.
Our thinking becomes more methodical and centers on solid foundations from which to build our intentions into a reality rather than ideals.
The 2nd House is a house of personal resources and possessions along with security. Some consider it the newly embodied human establishing bodily awareness and physical security.
This is the realm of surviving, thriving, and our sense of self-worth.
Mercury will move out-of-bounds tomorrow ( Thu Jan 09 ) but moves pretty quickly and only remains OOB between 10-14 days. Also, it only moves OOB up to four times a year, depending on the cycle. Mostly it's twice annually.
In grounded Capricorn, we are able to detach ourselves and become the observer. This will serve us well, especially in fields where powers of concentration are required.
Detailed work is much more feasible and our diplomacy and tact shine when required. We are able to laugh at ourselves in this placement, as self-doubt is highly diminished.
In the natal chart, difficult aspects to Mercury can cause one to be too ambitious, dogmatic, suspicious, and even materialistic. If you recognize these traits, you might want to slow down a bit and re-evaluate your goals.
Goals are always worth working toward, but there are more honorable ways of achieving them than being competitive and overly ambitious et al.

The North Node enters Pisces; the South Node enters Virgo @ 6:02 PM EST.
When the True Nodal axis shifts every 18 months, the North Node zodiac sign's archetype takes precedence, in this case, Pisces, the Mystic.
This is connected to our Soul's path; however, in order to attain it, we must release the fear and perceived safety of our South Node in Virgo comfort zone.
Some astrology reports you read will say Moon's Mean Nodes, while here I am using True Nodes. What's the difference? It's really quite easy.
Before the wonderful world of computer applications, the Mean Nodes were calculated by hand due to variations over a period of time. It's old school and many astrologers still adhere to the practice as a basic foundation of delineation.
True Nodes are the exact spot, measurement, and location of the node at an exact moment in time calculated by a computer in a few seconds, and the tool many modern astrologers prefer.
The Moon's Nodes are considered the heart of the system. The South Node represents the karma we have brought with us not just from past lives but have accumulated during this life as well. We only karma that is not ripe ( completed ) in this life with us into the next so that we may eventually resolve it.
The South Node provides ample time to deal with our ripe karma in this life, so long as our pride and/or obstinance don't interfere. This is where the Nodes come into play, and why they are considered the heart of the system.
The challenging news: When karma is ripe it's coming for us; the positive news: We are ready.
If the Universe brings us to it, it will bring us through it should we choose to do the work. The only thing that can stand in our way is, well, us.
The North Node provides not only a powerful antidote to our South Node patterns but also outlines a detailed map of how to resolve our ripe karma. The only caveat is this: our old patterns of behavior rise naturally to situations while it takes serious effort to reach a resolution, aka the North Node.
No pain no gain, except mentally vs physically. Or should I say spiritually awakening vs sleepwalking? Regardless, we've had roughly 18 months to reconcile our Scorpionic-ripened karma, and now we are all on the cusp of karma changing her tune completely, individually, and collectively.
While each sign of the zodiac represents possibilities, it also represents a challenge of potential stumbling blocks for us to transform into steppingstones. One can view the changing of the nodes, or even the current position, as an opposition. It's essential to reconcile two polarities to achieve personal ( and collective ) balance.
Mutable Pisces positive characteristics are compassion, sympathy, intuition, and artistic to name a few; however, every coin has a backside: Sacrificing Pisces can fall into procrastination, melancholia, manipulation, indolence, and pessimism. They are also prone to wear rose-colored glasses and utilize escapism through addictive substances or behavior.
Mutable Virgo, on the other hand, is practical, methodical, and industrious. However, just as Pisces, it also possesses a backside by being too critical, self-centered, pedantic, and skeptical.
This is where discernment becomes a vital part of our evolution. To recognize and accept is to exchange what we do not wish to be for what we truly desire for ourselves. We've all heard the saying, "Sometimes it's better to sacrifice self for the sake of peace." So, which is it?
Sacrificing for the sake of peace because it's more important? Or living our authentic truth which may be viewed as selfish?
It all depends on whether or not we desire to evolve toward our Soul's purpose or remain where we are for fear of loss, i.e. - partner, friends, job, etc.
Pisces is sympathetic but can also be emotionally inhibited and over-talkative for the purposes of being seen and heard rather than listening and observing to see others. Combine this back side of the coin with Virgo's propensity for being overly critical and /or self-centered, and you have a toxic cocktail that's surely to repel others.
The NN in Pisces is about releasing the desire to control others and/or circumstances. It involves an inward focus rather than outward for what we desire. The SN in Virgo can be highly critical of themselves and others but aren't overall content. This tendency for perfectionism keeps them from losing control.
This Nodal axis shift is centered on releasing control and incorporating "accept all; it's all good" into our daily philosophy. Acceptance doesn't dictate that we become a doormat. It means we defend our authenticity with acceptance of both self and other sans the need to control them through dominating exchanges or critical observations.
"In acceptance lieth peace", and what better way to evolve on our Soul's path than by peaceful release?
Transit tip for the next 18 months: Neptune.
Neptune is Pisces ruling planet ( though Jupiter was the traditional ); therefore, monitoring Neptune's transits can add additional clarity and insight.
Currently in the final stages of Pisces, this mysterious, foggy planet is preparing for its major transit into a 14-year journey through Aries beginning March 30th of this year, where it remains until October 22nd, 2025 ( re-entering Pisces during a retrograde ) until October 21st, 2028 – March 23rd, 2039 ( when it moves permanently into Taurus).
A few historical references of Neptune's previous transits through Aries (1861-1875):
https://www.forrestastrology.com/blogs/astrology/neptune-in-pisces-timeline
Dima Gur, a traditional astrologer from Tel Aviv, recently wrote, it's a bit of a paradox that Neptune in Aries prompts both a dream of gaining independence, and a desire to achieve unity. Both by way of struggle and war, mind you. This movement and countermovement create a deadly collision course, which often leads to armed conflict.
More on this transit forthcoming.

Mercury is exalted in Aquarius, thus embodies out-of-the-box and innovative thinking. Mercury represents intellect and avenues of expression, whereas Aquarius represents imaginative thinking outside of the box.
This coupling will produce an insatiable desire for knowledge and connection with like-minded. We can expect our desire for knowledge to increase while we open to new concepts and more progressive ways of being.
Being exalted in this Airy sign, the Messenger of the Gods feels completely relaxed and enabled as himself. Expression should be harmonious, as complementary forces are increased and the virtues magnified.
A trigger may become a thorn in the side regarding a family member or close friend this evening when the Moon square Chiron in Aries. Utilize the sacred pause and breath before reacting. There are some things said that can never be undone.
From the prick of pain comes new horizons if we choose to navigate the landscape with patience and compassion rather than close the curtain to growth. Late tonight the Moon opposes OOB Mars Rx in Cancer and speaking from the heart and maintain integrity.
It's a perfect time for deep reflection and probing possibilities. There may be something under the surface that we missed the first time around that will become more apparent with focus and a mind open to receive.
A caveat is Aquarian's Fixed quality, which could add a bit of an obstinate stance in regard to its beliefs, especially under the influence of the 6th House. Avoid the expectation of perfectionism and being overly critical.
While the desire may be to improve everyone’s life in general, there’s no guarantee it will be receive that way.
Progress and successful growth can be measured by comparing how willing we are to keep an open mind. A focus on balance between work and health is imperative.
