𝒜𝓁𝓁 ℒ𝒾𝓃𝓀𝓈

PICTURE 1

"I know that if 1 believe in it even in the slightest, I can even make dust turn to gold." There's confidence in your words and even in your skills. You're done being a prisoner to your own limitations, it hasn't really been your ally eitherway. There will be considerable focus in starting or expanding a business or doing well academically for your future. Your focus and persistence will not go to waste either this time You might feel rather competitive though. Like you want to prove yourself no matter what. Be mindful of not falling into another cycle of self imposed limitations, this one being 'taking on too much all at once in order to be taken seriously. There's a strong message of not giving up or losing sight of your wants and goals when you're almost there. Perhaps this confidence feels too new to you and you're trying to find the sweet spot between being conceited and genuinely self assure. Additionally, some of you might be getting pregnant or planning on the same. Rest of you will be choosing a specific venture, whatever you choose will be the right option. Go for whatever inspires you the most. Your heart vigoursly feels called towards something. Don't make further excuses for it.

PICTURE 2

Fortune indeed favours the bold, fortune also favours the determined. You've been anticipating the tables to turn for you. The anticipation soon turned to a vision that you haven't wavered from. You may have at least one person who has been cheering you on from the get go, their presence and words have constantly pushed you to believe in what feels like the impossible. If there's something you have really wanted to excel at or get into, expect to see progress in that. Financially things will be gradually be getting better. You'll be focused on researching on making the right investments or where to invest money. You're advised to keep matters regarding property, work, ambitions, inheritance etc a secret. You may also be leaving behind something that's served it's purpose for something else, At some point after your dedicated efforts and hard work you'd want to move towards a softer life. Additionally, you might get into petty arguments with people who have their noses in your business. You might feel the need to stand up for yourself and what you believe in. Know your power but don't waste time in verbally proving your worth to people who don't really care deep down and want to see you fall, they are not worth the stress. I really do feel you might want to invest in magnesium sprays or melatonin gummies or lavender oils too since there might be sleep issues you might be facing or just a restless mind. Go easy on yourself.

PICTURE 3

You found joy in watching your life unfold, somewhere you, realised that regardless of what you see the result will remain what you want. Like knowing the ending of the movie SO the plot is simply there to take you to the journey. You might also be aggresively pursuing something by that mean this is something you're really fixated on and see unfolding. So what others might call 'obsesseive' doesn't really phase you. It is what it is Likely it's after significant trial and error you have decided to be deliberate in regards to what you want and it's a good thing. Likely you have decided to free yourself from the narrative that you have got to do everything alone abd by yourself and found a friend or people who are willing to encourage and collaborate with you. There will also be a focus on your nervous system/regulating your nervous system and health. You may also try holstic medicine or healing your system through food or lifestyle changes. There is new offer in love or for some an offer that emotionally fulfills you but you might have to self reflect a bit on the way you tend to self sabotage given your past experiences. Addressing this will actually help you look past your fears and illusions and see things from a different perspective. A perspective that serves you better and doesn't make you feel like you're losing grip. There is an emphasis on higher education/studies and travel as well that will further strengthen your faith in yourself. Some of you might just find better job opportunities or expansion out of your current city or hometown or in a foreign land.

PICTURE 4

Often what you so deeply want and what is supposed to happen ends up happening and coming through overnight and when they do, you're no longer counting the days or keeping track of them it simply becomes a part of your reality. Things have been gaining momentum behind simply because despite the circumstances you have still persevered and they will start coming through just as quick.

Be prepared, you're going to be travelling long distances and quiet often, you'll have a lot of connections coming through, new friends, new partnerships, existing ones solidifying and choices to make as well. Step into your new found confidence. You might as well find yourself commanding rooms you walk into with your presence alone. You'll also be finding yourself pursuing your joys and passions and romanticising your life more.

What you love to do might just become your daily routine and work. You'll have to learn to balance there too so you don't continue to associate what brings you joy only to 'work', you'll find other things to engage in too. Take extra care of your health given the travel and opportunities presented. You'll find yourself taking risks you have previously felt unprepared for and you'll be glad that you did. There's a a form of karmic justice that will be served too, The biggest thing you'l achieve is overcoming the worst of your hurdles with ease and being unapologetic about getting what you want. Just stay true to yourself above all.

Saturn in Aries - The Scoop, Themes, Ins and Outs - Part 1

bravely beginning a saturn return series, as a natal aries saturn. i preface with the fact that i will be going through this for the first time as i’m writing, so take it all with a grain of salt. i’ve learned a lot from witnessing others/other astrologers discussing saturn returns, but experience is always the best teacher. we are absolutely going on a journey.

i made a playlist of songs that were popular the last time saturn was in aries to commemorate this saturn cycle. i will add to this playlist as songs come out during this saturn in aries transit!

What is a Saturn Return?

first off, a “return” is simply the time when a planet returns to the exact position in its orbit that it held when you were born. a classic example is a solar return - the sun returns to the exact position it held when you were born…. on your birthday. granted, there is slight variance each year since earth’s orbit around the sun isn’t exactly neatly 365 days, but your solar return will be within hours of your birthday each year. in the case of saturn return, saturn is “returning” to where it was exactly when you were born. the exact degree matters here - if your saturn is natally in a later degree, your exact return won’t be until much later. saturn simply entering the same sign is not officially The Return, but you’re likely going to feel that energy shift still. Like a preview of what will be coming - use it to prepare!!

What is Involved in a Saturn Return?

a focus on discipline, learning experiences, structures in your life

evaluating where you are, if your path needs to change, where you need to Go to Work (not necessarily professionally)

essentially becoming who 30-year-old you is

karmic lessons and fated events - don’t catastrophize, these are not always bad! and you can handle any difficult times that come your way

this next phase of life could mean new career, new home, new relationship with family/friends, some revised personal goals (depending on which house saturn falls in your chart) - let go of the old or be dragged

Some Saturn Return Thoughts:

if i were to guess, the astrological phenomenon that has people (who otherwise don’t engage much with astrology) shaking in their boots the most would be saturn return. there is a frenzy once the line between mid 20s and late 20s gets crossed - where are we heading? i heard it’s scary? and girl, in all honesty, it could be. that’s the thing with saturn! it really isn’t personal, as much as it might feel like it is. regardless of if you’ve been “good” or not, what will be will be. we get this very distorted image of karma in the west, as though there is some mighty invisible hand beating the ass of everyone who has “done you wrong” in some flavor (or vice versa). Instead, it is usually described more as your lot in this life - lessons to learn, experiences to have, lessons to teach others, so on. wonderful people fall on dire times and heinous individuals get exceptionally lucky at random all the time. it is a bit beyond each of our perceptions. make no mistake, we are often subject to the consequences of our own actions, but this is a grander narrative.

we have to stay true to our authentic path, whatever that may be, because it’s what we’re on this earth to do. straying from that path is going to result in some form of recalibration…. and that may feel like getting your ass beat. working extremely hard for a cause that you don’t particularly like AND doesn’t recognize you or appreciate your work? if you’re not careful, you’ll take that to mean that you weren’t good enough, rather than that you were in the wrong room. you will see where you belong and are valued, it just might not be in the kindest/gentlest way possible. but it’ll be real! you will have to interrogate your soft spots and address the root of why they hurt. core beliefs, baggage from others, societal conditioning - all of these create wounds that are holding you back from your authentic path. i am excited for saturn return because i’m looking forward to meaningfully using this time to redirect myself toward the channels that deserve my attention. i will never, at any point, promise to anyone that it will be easy. i’ll level with the audience - i love hard work when it’s getting me somewhere worthwhile.

The Tarot Angle:

to loop tarot in - saturn can be interpreted through a few cards: The Devil, The Star, and The World. saturn rules capricorn (associated with The Devil card) and aquarius (associated with The Star card), and The World card directly corresponds with the planet Saturn. to follow these lenses of viewing saturn- any matter pertaining to shadow work, restriction, attachments, confronting reality, baggage / hope, renewal, rebirth, inspiration, spirituality / completion, accomplishment, integration, lessons learned - will be saturn return territory. note how none of these are inherently miserable! we attach suffering to many of these, and they can be very difficult, but they redirect you to your authentic path. shine a light on your shadows and they’re no longer shadows! when you’re looking at reality for what it is, not what you wish it was, you’re able to build hope/faith and more optimistic lenses from a solid foundation. pretending things are different from how they actually are is not the same as faith. you’re able to end a cycle when you see what’s going on and learn from it.

Tarot Thoughts for Saturn Return:

embrace your shadows

be a realist, not a pessimist! through realism you can create optimism. the pessimistic view is not more likely to be correct.

always acknowledge the journey

recognize when you were the one who put the shackles on yourself

learn from your experiences, don’t cast them aside when they’re over

see setbacks as redirection

building a new neural pathway takes continual action - you will have to step out of your own chains likely several times

keep getting up when you’re knocked down, but always re-evaluate if something different is needed the next time

be mindful of when repetition is more of a comfort than a solution

Saturn in Aries Specifics:

saturn is in fall in aries. it is not especially comfortable here. the planet of constriction, diligence, methodical and structured action in the sign of explosive DO IT NOW HURRY UP…. yeah. saturn is most content in libra, capricorn, and aquarius - signs where decisions can be contemplated first and evaluated fully. aries is ready to move forward without too much deliberation. the first sign of the zodiac, ruled by mars, fiery and bold. someone had to do it, apparently. and it’s the cohort born between april 7th 1996 - june 8th 1998 (with a couple straggling saturn in aries babies through saturn going retrograde- october 26th 1998 - feb 28th 1999). allow for some variance depending on time zone/exact time of birth.

Saturn in Aries Themes (a non exhaustive list)-

authority issues

lack of mentorship

deep pull toward independence

needing to create their own path with no clue how to facilitate that

desire to be bold/courageous/a leader but it feels so out of reach

need to feel grown up before it’s chronologically time to be an adult

lots of ideas without discernment on which are worth going all in for

through this all, we’re starting a whole new cycle since april 1996! aries is the first sign of the zodiac, so this represents a whole new era. we will be going back (retrograde) to saturn in pisces from september 1st 2025-feb 13th 2026, then completely into saturn in aries from february 13th all the way until april 12th 2028. we’re not fully done with pisces yet, but we’ll be wrapping that business up. In preparation……an ins/out list:

In for Saturn in Aries:

STANDING ON BUSINESS

forging your own unique path

extreme honesty with yourself and others

realizing where authority belittled you when you were supposed to receive support

fighting against abuse of power

reclaiming your power

assessing creative blocks and breaking out of them

networking, especially developing a network in areas you “wish you belonged in”

BELIEVING IN YOURSELF

constructive critique NOT ABUSE OF POWER

Out for Saturn in Aries:

letting your shadows/shadow beliefs run the show

pondering too long without action

devaluing your knowledge just because you had to teach yourself

regarding traditional frameworks for success over your unique path

using spirituality to cloak your inaction

escapism

feeling like no one believed in you (you were probably asking the wrong people!)

BETRAYING YOURSELF

assuming that Suffering = The Work

staying somewhere you know you don’t belong (even if society deems this a useful place to stay or gives you reasons to stay there)

[thescorpionmonarch]

ASTRO FORECAST: Saturn In Aries has come. More pressure applied to:

-Fire and Air signs

-Heavy sun, mercury, mars influences,

-strong placements in the 3rd and 5th houses.

-cardinal signs (aries, cancer, Libra, capricorn)

(But this is a collective reading)

Boredom feels extremely stressful/painful.

Also the type of energy that has a hard time sitting still.

Dopamine/adrenaline cravings can be high or even abnormal.

Tempted to do risk taking behavior (including criminal activity)

Also prone to being a little too rough handed and breaking stuff.

Increased aggression/physical violence (can include wars).

Increased pressure on being able to focus

We have an aries stellium right now. Neptune and Saturn in Aries being long transits.

If you relate to the above in general peior to this transig, these transits can put more pressure to learn how to cope than others dealing with it. You might need several healthy hobbies. come up with new hobbies, or get those neurotransmitters treated/get therapy. If you don't find a stimulating or physically active job, you may feel more pressure to find one's that are (or you risk losing your job or job hopping to frequently).

Sedentary lifestyles won't help your goals come to fruition.

Your happiness and survival are more linked. You have both fear of the worst and temptation to achieve the best joy motivating you

Strong boundary setting.

Watch for hyper independance or being too codependent.

Fighting for rights and fundamental values. Speak up more. Fight to be free and stay free. Isolate those threats with a boundary that sets them on the hottest fire.

Applied pressure to define who you are

That lack of self-confidence has to go or it'll get you 6 ft under (don't replace with narcissism). There are so many ways ego can land you into an uncomfortable outcome.

As another poster said, you can't risk FAFO.

Can't risk too much indecision either.

Time has been shortened to get s*** done.

Those who have been accelerating well already are hitting speed boosts this transit. Manifestations are coming faster than predicted if things have been only getting more pleasant for you. This comes with more responsibilities though (although there is a choice to choose only enjoyable responsibilities).

This is a lot of people's last chance to go after their passions long term for a while. Grab your opportunities as soon as you spot them.

Some of you will enter into leadership/position of power/being heroes by choice and/or by necessity. (Emphasis on "and").

[lunarliyah]

hello!! is there an aspect (??) that can indicate growing up in foreign country ? :))

I hope that question made sense it's just something that I have really been thinking about for so long

hi thanks for asking!

*these aspects/placements have to be within 10 degrees for it to be accurate*

jupiter conjunct neptune

neptune conjunct sun

jupiter trine sun

jupiter conjunct sun

jupiter in the 4th house

jupiter in the 1st house

[imagineastrology]

February 21st Friday!

Today's Sag Moon will trine Venus (greater expressions of love and where we see and feel love)

Then oppose Jupiter (don't get obtuse, or be dramatic)

THEN square Mercury (communication could become misinterpreted, it's best to just write your thoughts down and speak them later)

Pluto Retrograde: May 4 – October 14, 2025 ( through the houses )

Look to the house in your birth chart where Aquarius falls, that’s where this Pluto retrograde is working beneath the surface.

Pluto retrograde is a slow undoing, a remembering that power is not force, but what remains after you’ve let the false self fall away. From May to October, we descend. We revisit the rooms we locked. We meet the parts of us shaped in silence, sharpened by survival. This is the shadow, not as punishment, but as proof of where you once disappeared to stay safe. Now, Pluto calls you back to reclaim what was buried with it.

Pluto Retrograde Through the First House

This is not reinvention. This is erosion. Pluto doesn’t knock when he enters the First House. He unzips the skin. He drags you back through the doorway you thought you had sealed, the one behind your first breath when you learned to become someone just to survive being seen. Now the mask peels off like old bark. Not because you want it to, but because you can no longer wear what was stitched from fear. During this retrograde, you don’t change, you remember who you built yourself to forget. The self before defense. The hunger before it learned how to armor itself in charm, control, or charisma. This is not a season for performing power. This is where you cough up the parts of you that mistook performance for protection. Pluto retrograde in the First is a funeral for the false face. And like all true deaths, it feels personal. You may feel stripped, undone, ghostlike, as if your own reflection no longer recognizes you. Good. That means the shedding has begun. This is not about becoming stronger. This is about becoming undeniable, without the violence, without the costume, without needing to command a room just to feel real. Let the persona rot. Let the original self breathe beneath the ash. You do not need to be seen. You need to be felt by yourself, first.

Pluto Retrograde Through the Second House

This is the excavation of the altar beneath the hunger. Not for wealth. Not for beauty. For permission. Pluto moves through the Second like a quiet storm, not tearing down the house, but revealing what it was built on. This is not about what you own. It’s about what owns you. The buried memory of offering parts of yourself just to be allowed to exist. The smile you learned to wear. The softness you turned into currency. The body you treated like collateral for closeness. During this retrograde, Pluto turns the soil. He digs beneath the self that says “I’m fine”, “I have enough”, “I don’t need more” and finds the soul that once went without safety, without softness, without knowing what it felt like to belong to your own skin. This transit is a collapse of the scaffolding you built around your value. The quiet unlearning of all the ways you made yourself smaller so someone else could feel full. And beneath that collapse, there is something unshakeable: a worth that doesn’t flinch when it’s not seen. A pulse that doesn’t beg. A body that no longer apologizes for taking up space. This is not self-esteem. This is cellular truth. This is power that comes from beneath the roots. Let it rise, not in gold, but in gravity.

Pluto Retrograde Through the Third House

The mind is not quiet, it loops. Words you didn’t choose. Beliefs you mistook for instincts. Thoughts that sound like yours but were carved by someone else’s fear. Pluto retrograde in the Third is not about speaking your truth. It’s about dragging the false voices out by the root. This transit rewinds the tongue. You may say things that feel foreign or suddenly find you have nothing to say at all. Not because you’ve lost your voice but because you’ve found the static it’s been tangled in. This is not a change in opinion. This is a breakdown of the mental spell you’ve been under. The old language of control. The silent agreements made in childhood. The words you swallowed because they were easier than conflict. Pluto does not want clarity, he wants collapse. He wants you to question the voice inside that tells you who you’re allowed to be. He wants you to sit in the silence after the unraveling and find the voice that doesn’t need to perform, persuade, or protect. This is when the internal monologue becomes a mausoleum. And you, the one left standing in the rubble, finally remember how it feels to think in your own language. Let it be strange. Let it be slow. Let it be real.

Pluto Retrograde Through the Fourth House

The walls remember even if you don’t. This transit doesn’t touch the surface. It pulls the floorboards loose. It drags memory out of the pipes, old water, old voices, the things no one said but everyone lived. Pluto retrograde in the Fourth House is an exorcism of origin. Not just where you came from but what you carried forward, unknowingly. You may feel it in the quiet hours. A tension in the chest. A heaviness in places that shouldn’t feel so permanent. This is the haunting of emotional inheritance, not ghosts, but gestures you absorbed before you had words. The way your body braced around someone else's grief. The way you made yourself smaller in a house that called it love. The way safety was shaped like sacrifice. Now Pluto turns inward, not to punish, but to reveal: this was never yours. This shame. This silence. This need to hold everything together. You are not required to keep bleeding to prove you’ve healed. This retrograde is not a renovation. It’s a reckoning. The foundation must crack for the soul to breathe. Let it break. Let the old house fall so you can finally come home to yourself.

Pluto Retrograde Through the Fifth House

Once, there was a child. Wild, bright, untamed. Before the rules. Before the roles. Before you were told what delight should look like. Pluto doesn’t come for your joy, he comes for the gate you put around it. This transit moves like a slow breath into the center of the chest, where instinct once lived untouched. You might feel tight there. Or hollow. Or suddenly aware that joy hasn’t felt safe in a long, long time. This is not about expression. This is about access to your own pulse, to the moments you didn’t filter, to the feelings you buried because they arrived too loud, too strong, too much. Pluto retrograde in the Fifth brings you back to the first yes. The yes before it had to be appropriate. The yes before anyone told you what it cost. And it brings you face to face with the no, the one you swallowed. The one that cracked the original freedom. The one that taught you to perform delight while bracing for consequence. This isn’t about reclaiming play. It’s about unlearning fear. The fear of being too visible. Too open. Too alive. If it aches now, it’s only because your body remembers. Let it tremble. Let it tell you where the joy got tangled. Then, don’t fix it. Just listen.

Pluto Retrograde Through the Sixth House

This one doesn’t come with thunder. It comes with the ache in your back you’ve been ignoring for years. The ritual you repeat without asking why. The apology you whisper with every task you overperform. Pluto retrograde in the Sixth doesn’t tear down. It erodes, gently, ruthlessly, the structures you built to feel in control. Here, the shadow wears a calendar. A job title. A list of things you must do before you’re allowed to rest. This isn’t about your work. It’s about the way you vanish inside it. The way the soul was trained to earn its place through usefulness, correctness, obedience. And now? Now the cracks begin to show. You might miss deadlines. Forget things. You might feel strangely disoriented inside routines that used to hold you. It’s not failure. It’s exposure. The deeper truth rising: you were never meant to prove your worth through exhaustion. Pluto digs into the body, too. Into the symptoms that never made sense. Into the tightness that lingers even when nothing’s wrong. Into the question: What am I carrying that was never mine to hold? This transit is a quiet revolution. One undone expectation at a time. Until the rituals you live by belong to you again.

Pluto Retrograde Through the Seventh House

This is where the echo dies. Pluto does not care who you’re with. He cares who you become when you think you need to be wanted. The Seventh House is not about relationships. It’s about exposure. How you let yourself be seen and what you’re willing to bury to make that happen. This transit unthreads the costume of compatibility. It brings you face to face with every performance you didn’t know was a performance. The smile that swallowed the need. The agreement you never made out loud but still lived by: Don’t be too much. Don’t be too real. Don’t be the reason they leave. This isn’t about love. It’s about the shape you made of yourself to be allowed inside someone else’s world. Now that shape fractures. Not violently, inevitably. You may lose the version of yourself that was built to avoid rejection. You may feel raw, unscripted, stripped of the lines you once rehearsed just to be chosen. Let it fall. This retrograde isn’t here to ruin your connections. It’s here to remind you that real intimacy doesn’t survive in distortion. That your truth will cost you certain dynamics but never your soul. And if no one’s looking? If there is no partner, no witness? Even better. This is your chance to unlearn the need to be seen in order to exist. You are not a reflection. You are not a projection. You are not a role. You are what remains when the mirror finally breaks.

Pluto Retrograde Through the Eighth House

You gave something away. Long ago, maybe before this life. A part of yourself that felt too dangerous to keep, too much, too alive, too fragile to carry alone. Pluto retrograde in the Eighth isn’t just about loss. It’s about what you offered to avoid it. This transit doesn’t announce itself. It leaks through the cracks. In the way your body tenses around intimacy. In the urge to control what you can’t predict. In the silence you keep even when the room begs you to speak. This is where the power lives, the real kind. The kind that got buried beneath betrayal, obsession, shame. The kind that was taken from you and the kind you gave away willingly because it felt safer to submit than to be left untouched. Pluto doesn’t ask you to be fearless. He asks you to look. To trace the outline of what was once taken and say: mine. You might feel like you're unraveling, but it’s not death. It’s a retrieval. This retrograde strips every false merge, every emotional contract you signed without knowing. It calls back your energy from the places you dissolved yourself just to feel close. And when you finally stand there, undone, intact, unhidden, you’ll know: this wasn’t a descent. It was a return.

Pluto Retrograde Through the Ninth House

You were handed a map. It had a name for everything. A reason. A law. A story that made the world bearable. Pluto retrograde doesn’t rip the map. He sets it on fire and watches what you do with the ashes. This isn’t about truth. It’s about what you trusted before you knew you could question it. The story you stood inside like shelter. The certainty you mistook for safety. This house is supposed to be about expansion. But Pluto doesn’t expand, he strips. He takes the beliefs that held you upright and shows you which ones were cages with stained-glass windows. You might feel disoriented. The old philosophies won’t fit. The systems you once swore by now feel brittle, shallow, false. Even hope might seem suspect. Good. That means you’ve left the house of borrowed truths. This retrograde is a quiet exile from inherited meaning. It asks: What did it cost to belong to their version of the sky? And what are you willing to risk in order to live by what’s true for you now? Don’t rush to rebuild. Let the silence stretch. Let the questions stay open. Let yourself be faithless long enough to know when something real begins to root inside you. This is not the search for truth. This is what happens after you stop pretending you ever needed it to be simple.

Pluto Retrograde Through the Tenth House

This is where the structure cracks. Not the one they see, the one inside you. The spine you braced against expectation. The shape you held so tightly they called it strength. Pluto retrograde doesn’t care what you’ve achieved. He cares what it cost. What parts of you you silenced just to be taken seriously. How many versions of yourself were buried beneath the performance of competence. This isn’t about career. It’s about control, how much of it you needed just to feel safe being seen. This transit pulls back the curtain on your authority. Not the power you hold, the fear underneath it. The fear of slipping. The fear of being nothing if you’re not impressive. You may lose direction now or ambition may feel empty, brittle, worn out. Not because you’re failing but because you’re outgrowing the identity you once climbed inside just to survive visibility. Pluto doesn’t burn the tower. He shows you what it was built to hide. Let it fall apart if it wants to. Let the titles drop. Let the posture go slack. There is a different kind of authority rising now, the kind that doesn’t ask for permission. The kind that doesn't need to be recognized to be real.

Pluto Retrograde Through the Eleventh House

They say this is the house of vision. But no one talks about the ghosts that live in your dreams. The ones you built to outrun loneliness. The ones that carried everyone’s expectations but your own. Pluto retrograde doesn’t steal your future. He hands it back, stripped of all the roles you thought you had to play just to be allowed inside the room. This is the unmaking of the shape you took in friendship. The ways you mirrored. The loyalty that felt like silence. The ache of being surrounded, but never quite seen. You may feel a shift in your circles, people fading, dynamics unraveling, invitations that no longer feel like praise. It’s not rejection. It’s a clearing. This transit asks: Who did you become to be likable? What did you dream for your life that was really just a safer version of disappearing? Pluto doesn’t destroy your vision. He makes sure it’s yours. Not your family’s. Not your friend group’s. Not the version of you that was built to be easy to keep around. Let the friendships change. Let the silence arrive. Let the longing speak. This retrograde isn't about losing your people. It’s about meeting the version of yourself you no longer need to shrink just to be loved. And the dream? It will still be there. But this time, it won’t carry anyone else’s shadow.

Pluto Retrograde Through the Twelfth House

This is where the light doesn’t reach. Pluto doesn’t knock here. He arrives like memory, a feeling in the body before it becomes a thought. A silence that thickens around the edges of the day. A shape you sense but cannot name. The Twelfth is not a house, it’s a veil. And Pluto pulls it back, thread by thread. You may dream heavier now. You may feel further from yourself, and closer to something you can’t explain. Old fears rise like fog. Old selves ask to be buried properly. It’s not punishment. It’s retrieval. This is the place where the soul stores what it couldn’t face. Grief turned to background noise. Guilt turned to repetition. Desire turned to distance. During this retrograde, the hiding places open. The addictions. The avoidance. The self-abandonment dressed as surrender. Whatever you turned into mist, Pluto makes it solid enough to touch. But not to shame it. To hold it. To see what power you buried beneath being “good,”, “unbothered,”, “above it all.” This is the softest death, not of identity, but of forgetting. Let it wash over you. Let it slow you down. Let it show you what parts of you were never broken, only banished. Pluto in the Twelfth doesn’t ask for action. Only witnessing. Only the courage to stay present with the shadow long enough to feel your way back through. Not out, but in.

This week in Astrology

✨Monday, March 3rd: Mercury enters Aries

Mercury in Pisces was a great incubation period for us to get lost in imagination. Now, the planet of thought and communication moves into fiery, impulsive Aries. So, take whatever you’ve been dreaming of and put it into action. This is the time to be proactive in initiating conversations. Communication styles will be more to the point, happening at a faster pace. However, this can also lead to the tendency to speak without thinking, which leads to arguments. Try to take a moment to pause before saying something you might later regret. Considering that we are a few days into the Mercury retrograde pre-shadow period, take extra caution!

✨Wednesday, March 5th: Mercury sextile Pluto

Mercury in Aries is already a mind on fire, and then we add the transformative abilities of Pluto. Mercury sextile Pluto is an excellent dynamic for adding more focus to the fire. With Pluto in Aquarius, this could be aided by friends or even society at large. It’s time to initiate bold, new ideas within community.

✨Saturday, March 8th: Sun trine Mars

With both of these planets in emotional, intuitive water signs, it’s a wonderful day for emotionally asserting yourself. You know what your needs are, so take responsibility to nurture them. This is also a fantastic energy for cultivating your space to better reflect yourself.

This mars sign is one of the rarest.

🧠contrary and erratic

👁️ STUBBBBBOOOORRRRRNNNN

🧠Will do whatever they please whenever they please (which may be absolutely nothing)

👁️ A good listener, but rarely takes advice. They always do their own thing.

🧠INCREDIBLY SOLITARY

👁️Kinky fantasies - the weirder the better. Never boring.

🧠some are so kinky that they really can’t share some kinks with ANYONE

(Not all aqua mars, of course. Some of y’all are cool af)✨

Week of 7/7 - 7/13

astrology forecast + collective tarot card for the week

Card for this week: 5 of Pentacles - weekly card from 8/19/24 and 12/23/24 (reversed) - as i spoke about those weeks: this card generally points to either current financial/material losses, a lack mindset, or difficulties with asking for help in a challenging time. you may be subconsciously limiting yourself from going out and pursuing what you'd love and what would fulfill you! you may be telling yourself you don't deserve it or maybe you're not even letting yourself consider your options. if you find yourself having moments this week where you feel like you don’t have enough/people are not showing up for you/so on, take a pause. rough patches and losses this week are likely redirections and you're challenged to remember that your friends and community are here for you! take some time this week to articulate what you want and desire in community/relationships, it will be well worth it.

Transits/Astro forecast: with uranus moving into gemini, that will be the final of the outer planets to have changed sign within the last several months (pluto to aquarius, neptune to aries, saturn to aries, jupiter to cancer, now uranus to gemini). huge huge changes in our worlds this year. some astrologers i keep up with have been studying 2025 for years now! and boy am i feeling that! amid all of the existential shakeups and uncharted territory, we’re halfway through the year and last week i pointed out that this would be a week of continued shadow work. capricorn full moon and saturn retrograde are challenging you to revisit and re-evaluate your goals in a time where everything around you is changing. the impossible is now possible - how does that change your mental landscape? current retrogrades: saturn, neptune and pluto.

monday 7/7 - uranus enters gemini, venus trine pluto - since may 2018, uranus has been in taurus. we’ll have a little bit more of uranus in taurus when it goes retrograde in the fall (uranus retrograde starts in september and uranus will re-enter taurus for a few months starting in mid november). depending on your chart, this brought a distinct brand of shake-up and absurdity to your plate for the last 7 years. uranus in taurus collectively emphasized our relationships to change/status quo, comforts/stability, finances/possessions, the economy/the earth (environment, food systems, etc) just to name a few. the shift to gemini is going to bring the focus now to communication, information sharing, education, schools of thought/ideologies, transportation/travel. it’s trining pluto in aquarius and sextiling the saturn/neptune conjunction in aries in the beginning of this transit (I’ll go more in depth when those transits are exact), which will make for a pretty explosive and radical entrance. all of the outer planets aspecting each other….. unheard of! in summary, the old ways are becoming entirely untenable. along with all of this, venus trining pluto will add even more emotional depth and transformative inner awareness. the last several days/few weeks have queued up some pretty notable changes in our relationships and how we view them - this will be no different! 

thursday 7/10 - full moon in capricorn - inventory time! the last several weeks have ushered in so much change and so many new ideas and you cannot do everything. you need to define success in your own terms today and make a plan to keep yourself accountable. set deadlines and keep yourself to them, even for creative or personal projects. you have more time than you think, but that’s not an encouragement to pursue someone else’s definition of success. listen for your own inner voice.

saturday 7/12 - saturn stations retrograde - time to amend your promises to yourself! as mentioned with the full moon, don’t continue to water dead flowers. over the next few months, you’ll see what needs revision or what is ready to cut off. is there something you started a while ago that you need to pick back up?

potential journal prompts:

in 2024, we had 2 full moons in capricorn - june 21st and july 21st. how have things evolved for you since then?

how have your long term goals shifted since the beginning of this year?

where are you working hard and not seeing as much of a payoff? are you remembering to take time to pick your head up and notice your growth/evolution?

similarly, is there anywhere you feel your hard work goes unnoticed? what could change internally and externally to help you feel recognized in that area?

Astro Forecast. FULL MOON IN VIRGO FEB 24th

Full moon is opposite sun, mercury, and saturn in Pisces. We have an aquarius and pisces stellium right now.

Moon trine Jupiter in Taurus. Jupiter square Mars and Venus in Aquarius (mars and venus in conjunction). Saturn and Sun conjunct in Pisces is sextile Jupiter. Uranus trine Lilith in Virgo.

Watch your physical health. There's an increased tendency to neglect one's diet by over or under eating or eating too much junk food. Sweet tooth season. Yes, you can get creative on making your own desserts, but don't eat it all in one sitting. Watch your emotions as emotional eating is a thing under this energy.

There is an increased motive to become better at cooking in general to save on your resources so you spend less going out to eat. For some, you are discovering or rediscovering your passion to cook or become a chef. Good timing to create meals more akin to your diet. Some of you should watch the anime food wars.

Some of you might want to get naughty in the bedroom using food.

Communities are starting argue about financial resources with other communities. Instead of competing, it might be wiser to intermingle instead and realize they have the same needs and they both deserve the same investment and fight for better resources and treatment together.

Some communities are debating over how the resources given to them should be used. Watch for lack mindsets within the groups you are a part of trying to dominate financial conversations.

There's an energy here on how to balance your resources that you invest in others. In romance and friendships, there is a lesson on learning how much to invest in a friend vs a romantic relationship that is casual vs serious relationships that are serious (also includes married people). Learn how much money to save for each case as you learn to rebalance your new life and as you add new bonds to rebirth your social network. Watch for jealousy of romantic partners towards friends or friends to romantic partners (especially new bonds). Don't attack or put down someone with jealousy or be harsh on yourself for feeling it. It can happen, but you need a safe place and way to express it to those involved. There is a lesson here not to forget self-love practices if you are the one experiencing jealousy. There needs to be a balance here.

Pluto in aquarius is a reminder that social circles are changing and to watch out for some of the darker feelings out there as you go to changes. Be prepared to experience them and expose them in a therapeutic way to get control over the situation asap. Take advantage of pisces energy to provide yourself therapy and self reflection and to practice empathy with those needing guidance when you have experience with them. Watch for those who refuse to do the same behaviors to manage these energies.

Take your time bonding again. No rushing. Some may still need to clean their circle up. No manipulative, abusive, or creepy friends.

Friends and communities can love bomb too.

Done right, some of you will be finding a best friend who repescts who you are and the bonds you already have.

what the world is looking like astrologically right now

‿‿‿‿ ‿‿‿‿ ‿‿‿‿ ‿‿‿‿ ‿‿‿‿ ‿‿‿‿

Sun Square Mars transit

a lot of hostility, no holding back with the actions. people being very argumentative. people being verbally aggressive. people being extremely assertive. asserting their aggressions towards others.

if you can not handle your own, i would advice you to tread lightly. especially with mars being in cancer, a lot coldness. people forget how cold cancer energy can be. how bitchy cancer energy can be.

it being at the 0 degree is making this more prominent.

it may not be the best time to overdo any physical activity or hard labor work because it is squaring each other.

Sun trine moon transit

good time to have any heart felt moments with loved ones, specifically, family members. getting advice from family or even just being around and spending time with family.

Moon trine Jupiter transit

ideas out the roof with this one. being very creative at this time and more vulnerable. finding time to give back to others. learning new information about your family/home life. may even be moving to a new home, new place.

Mercury quincunx Neptune transit

being able to communicate with yourself. whatever that looks like to you whether its through pushing yourself to be better or holding yourself accountable. good time to do some inner work.

It’s Cancer Season tomorrow! 🌊🦀💗

June 20ᵗʰ – July 21ˢᵗ ♡

My advice on how to soften into cancer season and protect your peace...

☆ When emotions feel heavy or confusing, come back to your body and breathe. Cancer energy reminds us that sensitivity is sacred, not something to shrink from. Listen to what your inner world is trying to tell you - it always speaks with truth. Do not be ashamed of how sensitive you feel.

☆ Create safety in your space and within yourself. This is the season to cocoon, nest, cry if you need to, and prioritise comfort unapologetically. Emotional security comes before external validation. Remember that you can always connect to this whenever you need to.

☆ Cancer energy is deeply intuitive - don’t dismiss your gut feelings. They’ll be stronger than usual, especially around people, homes, or habits that no longer align. What you feel is enough reason.

☆ Just a reminder: you don’t have to be everyone’s safe space. Hold space for yourself too. Set boundaries with respect to yourself and remember you can’t pour from an empty cup.

☆ This season is about softness, slowing things down (ignore that the world is constantly wanting us to be productive or busy 24/7) self-nurture, healing your inner child and finding “home” in your body again. Let your emotions be the wave you ride without judging yourself.

What does emotional safety look like for you right now?

For me, it’s a quiet night in, my fav tv shows or YouTube videos on, my vape nearby (yes I know it's unhealthy) rose quartz nearby, and no one talking to me for a few hours ♡

MY EXPERIENCE DURING MY 7th HOUSE PROFECTION YEAR + SR :

FISRT HALF OF THE YEAR :

• Right after my birthday got into my first ever weirdest situationship (you could barely even call it that).

• Started talking to a lot of guys all at once each very random. [Venus 1H SR + vertex in libra 7H].

• lost contact with everyone at the same time [ 3 months in ]. (Chiron conj venus).

• Completely devastated low self-esteem and confidence. (Chiron conj asc & venus).

• Got into astrology to distract from the pain . (12H stellium [escapism] in SR).

• Finally feeling better and focus on growth.

SECONG HALF OF THE YEAR :

• Got more into astrology and spirituality.

• Started centering myself before anyone else. [1H stellium aries]

• Too focused on self growth.

• Picked up a lot of new hobbies to make myself feel better especially learning 7 new languages all at once [moon in 9H sag].

• Keep getting new interests.

• Completely off sleep schedule + sleeping 10+ hours. [12 Pisces stellium in SR].

• Feeling better than ever now.

By far, my most transformative year yet. I feel like I have gained new consciousness. I know a lot of things won't directly relate or make sense to the profection or my Solar Return either but I just made the connection wherever it made sense to me.
