The Full Moon in Leo: When the Spotlight is a Little Too Bright

Grab your sunglasses, folks, because the Full Moon in Leo is here (it happens on February 12, 2025), and it’s bringing the kind of theatrical energy that could make Broadway blush. Full Moons are always a time of heightened emotions, revelations, and culminations, but when the Moon is in Leo, that intensity is dialed up to “main character syndrome.”

This lunation is a high-voltage, high-drama affair, demanding attention, recognition, and—most of all—respect. Leo doesn’t do things halfway. It wants the full standing ovation, the glittering tiara, and a rapt audience hanging on every word. But here’s the kicker—this Full Moon is opposing Mercury in Aquarius and squaring Uranus in Taurus. Translation? Expect the unexpected. Instead of a grand red carpet moment, you might find yourself tripping over your own train in front of a crowd of onlookers.

From Retrograde Chaos to Clarity: Why Jupiter Direct in Gemini Is Your Intellectual Green Light

When Jupiter stations direct in Gemini, it’s like your brain has finally come out of airplane mode. After months of introspection, revision, and (let’s be honest) a little mental chaos during Jupiter’s retrograde phase, this transit ushers in a rush of clarity and forward motion. Ideas start flowing again, communication gets a boost, and all those half-baked thoughts you’ve been mulling over are suddenly ready for the oven. But before we dive into the practicalities of how to make the most of this transit, let’s take a moment to reflect on where we’ve been.

Venus in Aries Meets the Amazons: Bold Love Lessons for a Fierce Life

For all the romantics out there expecting Venus to waft through Aries like a gentle breeze, sprinkling rose petals and whispering sweet nothings, let me stop you right there. Venus in Aries isn’t here to play the role of the serene love goddess. Nope. She’s ditched the ballgown, strapped on her armor, and is charging into the scene like a warrior ready to conquer. If you’re ready to ignite your inner Amazon and reclaim your passion, this transit is for you.

Uranus Goes Direct in Taurus: How January 30, 2025, Will Shake Up Your Stability and Spark Innovation

Brace yourselves, Storm Chasers!

If you’ve been feeling like life’s been stuck in a cosmic spin cycle, you’re not alone. Uranus retrograde has had us reflecting on what security and freedom really mean—but now, it’s time to take those lessons and launch them into action.

Rebel, Heal, Create: How the New Moon in Aquarius Can Change Everything

There’s something about a New Moon in Aquarius that stirs the air—a feeling of promise, a spark of brilliance, a whisper that change isn’t just coming, it’s already on its way. Aquarius, the rebel with a cause, always has its sights set on the future, urging us to leave behind what’s stagnant and embrace something daringly new. But this New Moon is more than your average Aquarian brainstorm. With an opposition to the dwarf planet Varuna and a trine to Jupiter in Gemini, it’s a moment of reckoning, hope, and expansive vision. And to understand the depth of what’s at play, we’ll turn to two mythic figures who carry Aquarius’ energy in their bones: Pandora and Brigid.

The Burning Bush of Brilliance: Understanding Mercury in Aquarius Through Moses

After 2 months of Mercury being in Capricorn, it finally leaves the sign of the sea goat and flies into the airy realm of Aquarius.

When I think about Mercury in Aquarius, my mind immediately jumps to Moses. Yes, that Moses. Stick with me here, because this isn’t your average Bible study. Moses—the reluctant leader, the lawgiver, and the visionary—perfectly embodies the quirky brilliance of Mercury in Aquarius. This isn’t about religion, but about archetypes, myths, and the way the story of Moses mirrors the intellectual and communicative superpowers of Mercury in the sign of the water-bearer.
