ARIES/ARIES RISING 2025

2025 will be a precursor for what’s to come in the years that follow. Major cosmic shifts involving the outer planets in our Solar System (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) – the planets that affect us as a collective below – foreshadow the shifts we will be navigating globally, and in our personal lives.

Pluto’s final ingress of Aquarius in 2024 was only the beginning. In the coming months, Saturn and Neptune will head for Aries before both luminaries return back to the sign of Pisces via retrograde. Uranus will begin a new transit through Gemini before returning back to the sign of Taurus via retrograde. Finally, Jupiter will begin its new transit of Cancer the Crab by the Summer Solstice.

The last time I saw a year like this was in 2020, and if you received a new year reading from me back then, you were forewarned of events coming down the pike. While I’m not at all saying we’ve got another pandemic on our hands, a “pandemic of change” is underway.

The world is turning and transforming rather quickly in 2025 – a process that began long ago, with greater expedience entering the 2020s. Each Zodiac sign is being called to take up cosmic arms and do their part as healers, diviners, and birth/death doulas ushering in a new world. It will be hard. It will not happen overnight. Courage will be required.

Thankfully, Aries, you’ve got courage in spades. As the first sign of the Zodiac, you are the leader of the pack. We look to you for your enterprising spirit, your drive, and your motivation. As we kick off the new year, it may very well be your role in the groups and affiliations with which you are aligned, that influences change on the horizon. Your work and legacy feature right at the start.

It will be important that you link up with like minds for shared causes, even if it means leaving familiar settings and associates behind. You may have to contend with inner fears, doubts, and anxieties along the way. In fact, with Mars – your ruling planet in Astrology – retrograde through the end of February, that fiery passion may feel tamed and timid.

That’s why Q1of 2025 will ask you to reconnect with your natural energetic state before charging forth with important chapters that come around your birthday this spring. Whether giving birth to creative endeavors, partnering for love, or establishing new foundations on the domestic front, your anchor needs to be securely in place. Your cup needs to already be full.

A sleepy influence prevails through the close of winter, and you must be sure to discern what is real, and what is fear, claiming authority over the workings of your subconscious mind, avoiding a distorted reality of “what is.” This has been an ongoing exercise for a number of years, encouraging you to ultimately get a grip on the stories and narratives that leave you feeling like a prisoner to your life as you know it. As we enter the eclipse window in February, the pressure for something to give will be felt.

By March, a concentration of energy will take effect as we approach the Spring Equinox. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Neptune will line-up in a conjunct configuration above, visible to the naked eyed from planet Earth, generating a climactic force that erupts during the Virgo Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse on March 14, and the New Moon/Solar Eclipse on March 29 in your sign. Eclipses are harbingers of change that usher in endings and new beginnings. This will, by far, be the most cosmically active part of 2025. Major transitions are in store that will affect you, personally.

You may be ending your role in an office setting, offloading ongoing projects, or recovering from a medical procedure as you turn your attention to independent projects and self-improvement. To add to the suspense, Venus and Mercury will station retrograde in your sign while the eclipses loom. Insecurities, uncertainties, assessments and misunderstandings that inhibit you from initiating a new chapter are likely. This may cause inner strife, lead to self-doubt, impact money, and your relationships.

You may feel somewhat directionless and quite frankly, scared, about a few course corrections. If considering how best to move forward in a business partnership, for example, or finally betting on yourself when it comes to outward goals and ambitions, discernment and deliberation will be required. You won’t know where you stand until after Venus and Mercury station direct in April, and eclipse energy will not begin to wane until May. Patience is necessary. Change is here.

As we move further into the spring months, however, a marked shift in momentum will be felt, especially with Neptune and Saturn entering your sign signaling a taste of what’s to come in 2026 and beyond. You will feel more assertive and confident in your life’s direction, even if it means sobering up (literally and figuratively) as you take on greater responsibility for the path you choose to pursue. A surge of activity will follow centering personal development, abundance (money), new learning, sudden new changes of scenery, and an opened mind that carries you into the summer months.

Mars, meanwhile, continues to gain traction throughout the rest of the year, motivating domestic matters, family expansion, creative projects, recreation, activities involving children, and daily affairs. This will amplify around the Summer Solstice when Jupiter ingresses the sign of Cancer. You may be relocating, undergoing domestic change (someone moving in our out), buying property or expanding your family. Milestones feature. Jupiter will be here for the long haul as you plant seeds and tend to your roots.

But this could also be interpreted as increased family demands. If venturing into real estate, be sure to manage your budget and expectations. Connections with significant others will take on greater emphasis during the fall months, too, especially if merging in a domestic partnership or becoming a (grand)parent.

In fact, Mercury will retrograde again July 18 through August 11 bringing misunderstandings in a courtship, with children, and in artistic collaborations. A romantic partner may have second thoughts. Activities with children and youth could prove disruptive. A pregnancy announcement might receive mixed reviews. The important relationships in your life (e.g., spouse, family member, child, business partners, etc.) will dominate as we wrap up the summer months, and you can anticipate lifestyle changes overall, as a Pisces Lunar Eclipse peaks on September 7 followed by a Virgo Solar Eclipse on September 21.

These eclipses fall along the Pisces/Virgo axis, where the Nodes of Destiny are traveling. This axis centers how you manage your being on this Earth planet – everything from your health, work schedule and daily routines, to your internal landscape, connection to the Divine, and where you go to retreat from the hustle and grind. There is a strong theme throughout the year encouraging you to get your affairs in order and, “clean up your act,” so to speak. Whether entering rehab or being of service in ways that support other people’s well-being, the more you prioritize a quality way of living, your life will take on a better quality.

Now, the last few months of the year will keep the same energetic pace that we saw throughout the spring, bringing momentum in new commitments and investments, travel and aspirational goals that prove furthering, and purposeful living. But Mercury’s final retrograde beginning November 10 through November 30 could bring some existential questioning as you consider new leaps of faith that see you exploring uncharted terrain. Whether planning a trip of a lifetime or going back to school, don’t allow Mercury’s backward spin lead to second guessing. You are on track, even if it appears otherwise. The end of the year will restore your faith in what is meant to be a thrilling developing story.

As I mentioned at the start, you are the one to lead us into these unprecedented times, so we’ll need you at your best. We’re following your example, Ram, which demands you become who you’re meant to be.

The first eclipse of the year peaks this Friday, March 14 on the east coast. The day before Mercury stations retrograde in your sign. The same day as a potential government shutdown looms. This lunar event will have consequences; a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is meant to bring something to completion, and in the sign of Virgo, you can expect somewhat of a final execution. For you, Aries, this involves some aspect of your health, work, and daily affairs, whether moving forward with a procedure you’ve been putting off, offloading projects at the office, saying goodbye to a furry friend, or simply deciding to make a major lifestyle change. And with Venus currently retrograde, also in your sign, there could be a few second guesses. You might feel unsure of how best to initiate your overall intentions, and be facing self-doubt. What’s more, inner fears and anxieties may further contribute to feelings of uncertainty, as you confront internal narratives. That said, whatever you are preparing to execute need not happen overnight, nor in one fell swoop. But you will have to give up something – be it a bad habit or a responsibility you no longer wish to oblige. Retrograde planets allow for extended reviews, so take your time. In the spirit of Virgo, be precise. The Solar Eclipse that follows later on this month – also in your sign – brings a new start meant to restore confidence and determination.

TAURUS

The first eclipse of the year peaks this Friday, March 14 on the east coast. The day before Mercury stations retrograde in the sign of Aries. The same day as a potential government shutdown looms. This lunar event will have consequences; a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is meant to bring something to completion, and in the sign of Virgo, you can expect somewhat of a final execution. For you, Taurus, this involves a romantic connection, creative project, or speculative venture, whether preparing for parenthood, launching an artistic endeavor or considering a love affair. And with your ruling planet Venus currently retrograde, there may be additional uncertainties. You might question your values in love, or how best to put your authentic stamp on the things you’re passionate about. What’s more, outside influences may also cloud your judgement, be it a friend, a naysayer, or both. That said, whatever you are preparing to execute need not happen overnight, nor in one fell swoop. But you will have to give up something – a stubborn attitude or the fear of being truly seen, and thus, vulnerable. Retrograde planets allow for extended reviews, so take your time. In the spirit of Virgo, be precise. The Solar Eclipse that follows later on this month – also in the sign of Aries – brings a new start meant to restore confidence and determination.

TAURUS/TAURUS RISING IN 2025

Thankfully, Taurus, yours is a measured sign. Your calm resilience and stoicism will be what keeps us grounded through a whirlwind of upheaval. As we kick off the new year, it may very well be your legacy and vocational path that influence change on the horizon. Nuanced perspectives and expanded worldviews that have evolved over the years may be what help you to see the silver linings of life. Of course, you may question whether or not you are in “right” company with those meant to further your growth. In fact, with Mars retrograde through the end of February, you may be considering changes of scenery and new communities where you ultimately feel safe as we prepare for unpredictable times.

That’s why Q1of 2025 will ask you to reconnect with your natural energetic state before charging forth with important chapters that come this spring. Whether engaging new subject matter, mastering a growth mindset, or planting seeds in new environments that prove sustaining, you need to be in the proper state of mind. Your anchor needs to be securely in place.

Networking and time with friends feature as we move toward the close of winter, and you will have to discern where you fit in, and where you don’t fit in, claiming authority over the groups and affiliations with which you are aligned, avoiding the need to assimilate at the expense of what makes you stand out. This has been an ongoing exercise for a number of years, encouraging you to align with like minds for shared causes even if it means going solo for a time. As we enter the eclipse window in February, the pressure for something to give in these areas will be felt.

By March, a concentration of energy will take effect as we approach the Spring Equinox. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Neptune will line-up in a conjunct configuration above, visible to the naked eyed from planet Earth, generating a climactic force that erupts during the Virgo Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse on March 14, and the Aries New Moon/Solar Eclipse on March 29. Eclipses are harbingers of change that usher in endings and new beginnings. This will, by far, be the most cosmically active part of 2025. Major transitions are in store.

You may be finalizing a creative launch, navigating a milestone with a child, or dealing with change in a romantic tie in order to come back to yourself and find clarity around new life directions taking form. To add to the suspense, Venus and Mercury will station retrograde while the eclipses loom. Insecurities, uncertainties, assessments and misunderstandings that inhibit you from initiating a new chapter are likely, and may bring inner strife, primarily impacting money and close affiliations.

You may be reconsidering your allegiance to a company, institution, or an affiliation, for example, or sifting through internal dialogues in the recesses of your mind about a personal decision that requires solitude for clarity. That’s why discernment and deliberation will be required. You won’t know where you stand until after Venus and Mercury station direct in April, and eclipse energy will not begin to wane until your birthday season. Patience is necessary. Change is here.

As we move further into the spring months, however, a marked shift in momentum will be felt, especially with Neptune and Saturn entering the sign of Aries signaling a taste of what’s to come in 2026 and beyond. You will feel clearer and more trusting of your innate wisdom, finally seeing yourself as your best frame of reference when it comes to outward goals and ambitions. A surge of activity will follow that brings inner strength, personal development, as well as sudden developments with abundance and prosperity (i.e., money and finances) that carry you into the summer months.

Mars, meanwhile, continues to gain traction throughout the rest of the year, motivating new learning, changes of scenery, domestic matters with family and loved ones, as well as children, child’s play, and recreation. This will amplify around the Summer Solstice when Jupiter ingresses the sign of Cancer. You may be considering a move to a new locale, or enrolled in an education program. This could also be interpreted as caring for extended family or launching online platforms. Milestones feature. Jupiter will be here for the long haul as you indulge new curiosities that expand your mind and knowledge in new ways.

Of course, this could also look like mental anxiety and overload. If facilitating trainings, assimilating in new cultures, or studying for major exams, it will be important to manage your expectations and avoid venturing down rabbit holes. Growing responsibilities and busy days will take on greater emphasis during the fall months, too, especially if navigating heath concerns, managing household affairs, taking on new hobbies, or forging a business partnership.

In fact, Mercury will retrograde again July 18 through August 11 bringing misunderstandings at home with loved ones. If you are moving to a new city or undergoing domestic change, there may be periods of adjustments. Major transitions are likely overall, overall as a Pisces Lunar Eclipse peaks on September 7 followed by a Virgo Solar Eclipse on September 21. These eclipses fall along the Pisces/Virgo axis, where the Nodes of Destiny are traveling.

This axis centers your ability to connect with your authentic self in ways that are influential – everything from how you use your creative gifts and talents, connect with your inner child, and engage romantic love, to the added value you bring in collaborations with others and the ways in which people respond to your unique attributes. There is a strong theme throughout the year encouraging you to “find your tribe,” so to speak – where you can be celebrated for all that makes you special. Whether joining philanthropic causes or making new friends, everyone benefits from when you shine the brightest.

Now, the last few months of the year will keep the same energetic pace that we saw throughout the spring, bringing momentum to one-on-one relationships, new commitments that prove fruitful, and intimate matters. But Mercury’s final retrograde beginning November 10 through November 30 could bring pause in a partnership. Whether signing a marriage certificate or launching a business enterprise, don’t allow Mercury’s backward spin lead to second guessing. Vulnerability is the new sexy, so take a risk. The end of the year will restore your faith in what is meant to be a thrilling developing story.

As I mentioned at the start, you are our rock in these unprecedented times, so we’ll need you at your best. We’re looking to you for safety in what feels chaotic, which demands that you feel safe within yourself.

May 21-June 21

GEMINI/GEMINI RISING IN 2025

Thankfully, Gemini, yours is a knowledgeable sign. Your ability to stay informed will be what keeps us all “in the know” throughout this whirlwind year. As we kick things off, we might take a beat from your sound perspective and optimism. Your investigative gifts that separate fact from fiction will be what determines how we respond to change on the horizon – you’ve grown more insightful over the years. Of course, there will be perplexing uncertainties that even you must confront, especially as it relates to your contributions to the greater good. In fact, with Mars retrograde through the end of February, you may be considering ways to sure up your resources (i.e., money, possessions, etc.) while staying up to date with fast media and swirling news feeds.

That’s why Q1of 2025 will ask you to reconnect with your natural energetic state before charging forth with important chapters that come this spring. Whether considering new streams of income, making major purchases, engaged in new subject matter or mastering a growth mindset, you need to take stock of what’s important to you – what you value. You will want to be in the right frame of mind, too.

Career matters feature as we move toward the close of winter, and you may have to discern the vocational path that is right for you, claiming authority over your skillset and expertise, avoiding the traps of “impostor syndrome.” This has been an ongoing exercise for a number of years, encouraging you to pursue professional advancement in a manner that is disciplined and garners success. As we enter the eclipse window in February, the pressure for something to give in these areas will be felt.

By March, a concentration of energy will take effect as we approach the Spring Equinox. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Neptune will line-up in a conjunct configuration above, visible to the naked eyed from planet Earth, generating a climactic force that erupts during the Virgo Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse on March 14, and the Aries New Moon/Solar Eclipse on March 29. Eclipses are harbingers of change that usher in endings and new beginnings. This will, by far, be the most cosmically active part of 2025. Major transitions are in store.

You may be leaving home to link up with like minds and embark upon new collaborative enterprises, or launching a collective space in your physical environment. This could also be interpreted as relocation for work or for school, or stepping outside of your comfort zone to make new acquaintances that support your evolution. To add to the suspense, though, Venus and Mercury will station retrograde while the eclipses loom. Insecurities, uncertainties, assessments and misunderstandings that inhibit you from initiating a new chapter are likely, and may impact professional affiliations, money, and important connections.

Your consideration for a new position is possible, as well as a performance evaluation that leads to a potential promotion and salary increase. This might also look like contemplating whether or not you will continue your allegiance to a company, an institution, or an affiliation, for example, or (re)strategizing your efforts in a business launch. Discernment and deliberation will be required. You won’t know where you stand until after Venus and Mercury station direct in April, and eclipse energy will not begin to wane until we reach your birthday season. Patience is necessary. Change is here.

As we move further into the spring months, however, a marked shift in momentum will be felt, especially with Neptune and Saturn entering the sign of Aries signaling a taste of what’s to come in 2026 and beyond. You will feel more affirmed when it comes to where you fit in and belong, whether entering a new department in a University setting, or joining a professional association that supports career advancement. A surge of activity will follow that centers new networks and social groups, inner strength, as well as new and sudden personal developments, carrying you into the summer months.

Mars, meanwhile, continues to gain traction throughout the rest of the year, motivating financial investments, changing scenery, education and domestic matters. This will amplify around the Summer Solstice when Jupiter ingresses the sign of Cancer. You may be on the receiving end of a winning lottery ticket, investing in property, or considering new streams of income. This could also be interpreted as familial support or a new home construction. Milestones feature. Jupiter will be here for the long haul as you generate more wealth, abundance and prosperity, building upon an innate sense of self-worth.

Of course, this could also be interpreted as increased expenses. If purchasing an investment property or putting your capital toward a family business, it will be important not to stretch your resources too thin. Creative projects and activities centering children will take on greater emphasis during the fall months, too, especially if planning for parenthood, planning a wedding, or launching different artistic enterprises.

In fact, Mercury – your ruling planet in Astrology – will retrograde again July 18 through August 11 bringing miscommunications and disruptions to your environment. If you are moving to a new city with a romantic partner, or experiencing travel delays visiting extended family, there may be some tension and confusion. Major transitions are likely overall, as a Pisces Lunar Eclipse peaks on September 7 followed by a Virgo Solar Eclipse on September 21. These eclipses fall along the Pisces/Virgo axis, where the Nodes of Destiny are traveling.

This axis centers your ability to find a balance between growing demands at work and growing demands at home – everything from how you show up for loved ones and prioritize their needs to how you advance in your career with the support of those who matter. There is a strong theme throughout the year encouraging you to “make your own way,” so to speak – without participating in family drama and domestic strife. Whether launching a home-grown business or uprooting for career purposes, home and family should serve as anchors that keep you grounded while you soar to new (professional) heights.

Now, the last few months of the year will keep the same energetic pace that we saw throughout the spring, bringing momentum to daily affairs and one-on-one relationships. But Mercury’s final retrograde beginning November 10 through November 30 could interrupt your routines as you get into a groove with significant others – business or romantic. Whether merging households, caring for a loved one, or partnering on different projects, don’t let Mercury’s backward spin lead to second guessing. Compromise will be key. The end of the year will restore your faith in what is meant to be a thrilling developing story.

As I mentioned at the start, you are our teacher in these unprecedented times, so we’ll need you at your best. We’re looking to you for analysis and understanding, which demands you stay sharp and alert.

The first eclipse of the year peaks this Friday, March 14 on the east coast. The day before Mercury stations retrograde in the sign of Aries. The same day as a potential government shutdown looms. This lunar event will have consequences; a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is meant to bring something to completion, and in the sign of Virgo, you can expect somewhat of a final execution. For you, Gemini, this involves your home and family, whether investing in real estate, navigating the loss of a loved one, or merging in a domestic partnership. And with Venus currently retrograde, there may be a few additional considerations, especially if renting a property with friends, opening a group home and shelter, or planning a major family event. What’s more, career demands could get in the way. There may be questions around a relocation for work or your partner may need to uproot your family for career advancement. That said, whatever you are preparing to execute need not happen overnight, nor in one fell swoop. But you will have to give up something, be it a longstanding family dispute or the ways in which you neglect your own needs and emotional security. Retrograde planets allow for extended reviews, so take your time. In the spirit of Virgo, be precise. The Solar Eclipse that follows later on this month – also in the sign of Aries – brings a new start meant to restore confidence and determination.

CANCER

The first eclipse of the year peaks this Friday, March 14 on the east coast. The day before Mercury stations retrograde in the sign of Aries. The same day as a potential government shutdown looms. This lunar event will have consequences; a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is meant to bring something to completion, and in the sign of Virgo, you can expect somewhat of a final execution. For you, Cancer, this involves ongoing communications, an education program, or even a familiar setting, whether wrapping up a study program or finalizing contract negotiations. And with Venus currently retrograde, there may be a few additional considerations, especially if advocating for a severance package at work, or naming your rates for a business enterprise. What’s more, a reality check could dampen your enthusiasm toward aspirational goals that center international dealings, travel, and other broader aims. That said, whatever you are preparing to execute need not happen overnight, nor in one fell swoop. But you may have to give up something, be it a negative mindset or a comfortable environment. Retrograde planets allow for extended reviews, so take your time. In the spirit of Virgo, be precise. The Solar Eclipse that follows later on this month – also in the sign of Aries – brings a new start meant to restore confidence and determination.

CANCER/CANCER RISING IN 2025

Thankfully, Cancer, yours is a nurturing sign. The sacred mother/gentle father in you will be what we need navigating this frantic year. As we kick things off, your ability to confront what is wounded and unhealed will be what matters most as we investigate the root of discontents that plague our society. Your tender loving emotional laboring toward others – a skill that has evolved over the years – will be what inspires how we respond to change on the horizon. Of course, there may be crises of faith along the way. In fact, with Mars retrograde in your sign through the end of February, you may be (re)considering the value you bring to this changing world, and how best to show up as your most authentic self.

That’s why Q1of 2025 will ask you to reconnect with your natural energetic state before charging forth with important chapters that come this spring. Whether returning to self-motivational practices that lead to self-improvement, advocating for what you need and want in relationship to others, or seeking ways to generate more abundance and prosperity (i.e., money and finances), you are building confidence enroute to self-mastery. It will be important, then, that you know your worth.

Higher learning, travel, and new opportunities meant to further your reach feature as we move toward the close of winter. You be considering certain “leaps of faith,” claiming authority over the story you wish to tell about your life’s purpose, avoiding existential setbacks that lead to doubt and worry. This has been an ongoing exercise for a number of years, encouraging you to keep perspective on all that is possible as you venture into uncharted terrain through trips abroad, philosophical studies, and overall expansion. As we enter the eclipse window in February, the pressure for something to give in these areas will be felt.

By March, a concentration of energy will take effect as we approach the Spring Equinox. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Neptune will line-up in a conjunct configuration above, visible to the naked eyed from planet Earth, generating a climactic force that erupts during the Virgo Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse on March 14, and the Aries New Moon/Solar Eclipse on March 29. Eclipses are harbingers of change that usher in endings and new beginnings. This will, by far, be the most cosmically active part of 2025. Major transitions are in store.

You may be negotiating a contract agreement that leads to a new professional opportunity, or submitting applications toward a vocational program that leads to career advancement. Finishing a manuscript or passing a major exam that garners recognition and success are also interpretations. But to add to the suspense, Venus and Mercury will station retrograde while the eclipses loom. Insecurities, uncertainties, assessments and misunderstandings that inhibit you from initiating a new chapter are likely, and may primarily impact entrepreneurial enterprises, professional associations, and even money.

If under consideration for a certification, a prestigious internship program, or tenure at a University, for examples, the process may be delayed. This could also look like back-and-forth with a sabbatical, or difficulties obtaining a travel visa for work abroad. That’s why discernment and deliberation will be required. You won’t know where you stand until after Venus and Mercury station direct in April, and eclipse energy will not begin to wane until May. Patience is necessary. Change is here.

As we move further into the spring months, however, a marked shift in momentum will be felt, especially with Neptune and Saturn entering the sign of Aries signaling a taste of what’s to come in 2026 and beyond. You will feel more seasoned when it comes to your career, starting a new job or launching your own business. A surge of activity will follow centering professional growth, new groups and affiliations, and a renewal of inner strength that carries you into the summer months.

Mars, meanwhile, continues to gain traction throughout the rest of the year, motivating personal growth and development, money matters, new learning curves, and changes of scenery. This will amplify right around the Summer Solstice as Jupiter ingresses your sign, dear Crab. Consider this a highlight! You may be on the receiving end of new opportunities that further personal goals, or enhance your look with cosmetic work and vanity changes. Confidence will be restored as you navigate a personal surge of energy. Milestones feature. Jupiter will be here for the long haul to help you self-actualize.

Of course, this could also be interpreted as feeling overwhelmed by all the “shiny things.” It’s OK to pursue new interests that support your own evolution. Just be sure to ground your enthusiasm. Domestic matters and family events will take on greater emphasis during the fall months, too, especially if gearing up for back-to-school activities, moving to a new community, or acquiring a real estate license.

In fact, Mercury will retrograde again July 18 through August 11 bringing miscommunications and delays with money and possessions. A home settlement process may take longer than anticipated, or changes with a domestic partner impacts the management of financial affairs. Major transitions are likely overall, as a Pisces Lunar Eclipse peaks on September 7 followed by a Virgo Solar Eclipse on September 21. These eclipses fall along the Pisces/Virgo axis, where the Nodes of Destiny are traveling.

This axis centers the comforts of what you know and your ability to leave such comfort behind – everything from your immediate surroundings and formal knowledge to your belief systems and worldviews. The song lyrics that come to mind are, “should I stay, or should I go now?” There is a theme in effect strongly encouraging you to pursue the road less traveled, and to trust that you will find your way. Whether entering a new career field, joining an expat community in a foreign country, or immersing yourself in broader subject matter, it’s OK to leave familiarity and return with an elixir for all to benefit.

Now, the last few months of the year will keep the same energetic pace that we saw throughout the spring, bringing momentum to recreation and child’s play, creative aims, and busy days. But Mercury’s final retrograde beginning November 10 through November 30 could stall this wave of movement. Children may interrupt your schedule, or a health matter could derail romantic plans. No matter your experience, don’t let Mercury’s backward spin lead to second guessing. A pivot will make all the difference. The end of the year will restore your faith in what’s meant to be a thrilling developing story.

As I mentioned at the start, you are our healer in these unprecedented times, so we’ll need you at your best. We look to you for nourishment and protection, which demands you take care of yourself, first.

July 23-August 23

LEO/LEO RISING IN 2025

Thankfully, Leo, yours is a creative sign. The steady flame that represents the energetic pulse you embody will be what inspires us throughout this frantic year. As we kick things off, we might learn from you how best to nurture the important connections in our lives while building community. The discipline, loyalty, and overall determination you’ve cultivated over the years will inform how we respond to change on the horizon. Of course, there will be risks, and you may be fearful of the vulnerability that comes with being seen and letting down your guard in partnership with others. In fact, with Mars retrograde in your sign through the end of February, you may not feel too sure of yourself, reflecting on ways to become more authentically you.

That’s why Q1of 2025 will ask you to reconnect with your natural energetic state before charging forth with important chapters that come this spring. Whether taking time in solitude to map out a clear path forward, expanding spiritual practices that help you to (re)align with your soulful essence, or returning to self-motivational practices that lead to self-improvement and self-empowerment, you are reclaiming what makes you a force to be reckoned with. It will be important that you embrace a process of self-mastery.

Counseling, new commitments, as well as renewed agreements in partnership (business, financial, or personal) feature as we move toward the close of winter. You may have to discern what/who is worthy of your investment, claiming authority over the discomfort that comes with taking a risk in love and with money, avoiding the need to sidestep true intimacy. This has been an ongoing exercise for a number of years, encouraging you to trust and be open to rewarding connections and healed trauma. As we enter the eclipse window in February, the pressure for something to give in these areas will be felt.

By March, a concentration of energy will take effect as we approach the Spring Equinox. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Neptune will line-up in a conjunct configuration above, visible to the naked eyed from planet Earth, generating a climactic force that erupts during the Virgo Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse on March 14, and the Aries New Moon/Solar Eclipse on March 29. Eclipses are harbingers of change ushering in endings and new beginnings. This will, by far, be the most cosmically active part of 2025. Major transitions are in store.

You may be investing in a higher degree program, or negotiating a publishing deal. This could also look purchasing a luxury vacation package or finalizing a teaching/facilitator contract. But to add to the suspense, Venus and Mercury will station retrograde while the eclipses loom. Insecurities, uncertainties, assessments and misunderstandings that inhibit you from initiating a new chapter are likely, and may primarily impact financial negotiations, trips abroad, and important partnerships.

A grant proposal may need to be revised before submitting it for consideration, for example, or work with vendors to secure a venue for a destination wedding may be challenged. This could also look like funding delays toward a specialized training course; no matter your experiences, you won’t know where you stand until after Venus and Mercury station direct in April, and eclipse energy will not begin to wane until May. That’s why discernment and deliberation will be required. Patience is necessary. Change is here.

As we move further into the spring months, however, a marked shift in momentum will be felt, especially with Neptune and Saturn entering the sign of Aries signaling a taste of what’s to come in 2026 and beyond. You will feel more trusting of an unfolding process that sees you exploring uncharted terrain (literally and figuratively), whether launching a business enterprise or moving abroad. A surge of activity follows having taken a few leaps of faith that will expand professional advancement, sudden group projects, and new affiliations that carry you into the summer months.

Mars, meanwhile, continues to gain traction throughout the rest of the year, motivating inner strength, personal growth and development, and money matters. This will amplify right around the Summer Solstice as Jupiter ingresses the sign of Cancer. Consider this a period of enlightenment as you become more aware of your internal landscape. Spiritual development, reprogramming the trappings of your subconscious mind, and inner awakening are likely. Milestones feature. Jupiter will be here for the long haul helping you grow from within.

Of course, this could also be interpreted as an acute awareness that intensifies your Spidey senses. Whether communing with spirits or having premonitions, it will be important to rest and retreat in order to keep calm and maintain inner peace. New learning and education will take on greater emphasis during the fall months, too, especially if sharing new insights, taking short trips, or launching online platforms.

In fact, Mercury will retrograde again in your sign July 18 through August 11, bringing personal decisions to a pause. You may be contemplating life changes or reconsidering how best to assert independent projects, especially if seeking funding support. Major transitions are likely overall, as a Pisces Lunar Eclipse peaks on September 7 followed by a Virgo Solar Eclipse on September 21. These eclipses will fall along the Pisces/Virgo axis, where the Nodes of Destiny are traveling.

This axis centers your values – everything from your innate self-worth and personal resources to how you share and align with the people, groups, and entities that celebrate the value you bring to all dealings. There is a theme in effect strongly encouraging you to know and advocate for your worth. Whether merging in love, for money, or for business, you come with receipts and should be properly compensated. Be mindful of scarcity thinking. Beware of undermining your worth.

Now, the last few months of the year will keep the same energetic pace that we saw throughout the spring, bringing momentum to home, family, fun, romance and recreation. But Mercury’s final retrograde beginning November 10 through November 30 could stall this wave of movement. Creative projects around the house may undergo delay, or a move with a domestic partner might require a few adjustments. Try not to let Mercury’s backward spin lead to second guessing. Your ability to remain flexible will make all the difference, and the end of the year will restore your faith in what is meant to be a thrilling developing story.

As I mentioned at the start, you will be an inspiration during unprecedented times, and we’ll need you at your best. We look to you as a beacon of light, which demands you shine as brightly as possible.

The first eclipse of the year peaks this Friday, March 14 on the east coast. The day before Mercury stations retrograde in the sign of Aries. The same day as a potential government shutdown looms. This lunar event will have consequences; a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is meant to bring something to completion, and in the sign of Virgo, you can expect somewhat of a final execution. For you, Leo, this involves personal resources and feelings of self-worth, whether finalizing contract negotiations or advocating for reciprocity in a relationship. And with Venus currently retrograde, there may be a few additional considerations, especially launching a business enterprise, planning a destination wedding, or seeking grant approval. What’s more, certain vulnerabilities are likely if merging in a business partnership, or sharing your love and commitment with another, for examples. That said, whatever you are preparing to execute need not happen overnight, nor in one fell swoop. But you may have to give up something, be it a stubborn attachment, or beliefs around not being worthy. Retrograde planets allow for extended reviews, so take your time. In the spirit of Virgo, be precise. The Solar Eclipse that follows later on this month – also in the sign of Aries – brings a new start meant to restore confidence and determination.

VIRGO

The first eclipse of the year peaks in your sign this Friday, March 14 on the east coast. The day before your ruling planet Mercury stations retrograde in the sign of Aries. The same day as a potential government shutdown looms. This lunar event will have consequences; a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is meant to bring something to completion, and true to Virgo form, you can expect somewhat of a final execution. For you, Virgin, this involves a personal plan and decision, whether changing your look or wrapping up an important period of self-growth and betterment. And with Venus currently retrograde, there may be a few additional considerations; such conclusions could leave you vulnerable and may require some level of sacrifice. What’s more, relationships feature. You’ll have to balance an independent agenda with your responsibilities in connections with others. That said, whatever you are preparing to execute need not happen overnight, nor in one fell swoop. But you may have to give up something, be it a fear of taking a risk or the need to perfect whatever it is you hope to achieve. Retrograde planets allow for extended reviews, so take your time. Be precise. The Solar Eclipse that follows later on this month – also in the sign of Aries – brings a new start meant to restore confidence and determination.

A woman 's head with intricate designs on it.

August 23 - September 22

VIRGO/VIRGO RISING IN 2025

Thankfully, Virgo, yours is a meticulous sign. Your ability to plan and consider all potential outcomes will be what keeps us in line while navigating the astrology of the times. To kick things off, we might learn from you how best to stay focused, disciplined, and organized. The evolution of your creative gifts and giving heart over the years will lead us through change on the horizon. Of course, this requires partnering with others and considering their viewpoints, too, which may be hard for a “solo act” such as yours. In fact, with Mars retrograde through the end of February, you may be considering the groups and affiliations that benefit from your contributions, and simultaneously support your own personal agenda.

That’s why Q1of 2025 will ask you to reconnect with your natural energetic state before charging forth with important chapters that come this spring. Whether linking up with similar minds for shared causes, taking stock of your allegiances to friends and affiliations alike, embracing solitude as you map out a clear path forward, or expanding spiritual practices that connect you to an innate wisdom, it will be important that you identify your soul tribe – those who affirm and welcome your gifts and talents.

Relationship building features as we move toward the close of winter, whether partnering for love, business, or artistic collaborations. But you may have to discern what and who are worthy of your commitment and energy, separating the wheat from the chaff, so to speak, while moving past the fear of getting too close to others. This has been an ongoing exercise for a number of years, encouraging you to meet people where they are – heart and eyes wide open – without losing yourself in the process. As we enter the eclipse window in February, the pressure for something to give in these areas will be felt.

By March, a concentration of energy will take effect as we approach the Spring Equinox. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Neptune will line-up in a conjunct configuration above, visible to the naked eyed from planet Earth, generating a climactic force that erupts during the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse on March 14 in your sign, and the Aries New Moon/Solar Eclipse on March 29. Eclipses are harbingers of change ushering in endings and new beginnings. This will, by far, be the most cosmically active part of 2025. Major transitions are in store.

You may be making a big decision to merge in union with another for business or for pleasure. You might also be seeking financial sponsorship toward a personal project, or sacrificing personal plans in support of a significant other. But to add to the suspense, Venus and Mercury will station retrograde while the eclipses loom. Insecurities, uncertainties, assessments and misunderstandings that inhibit you from initiating a new chapter are likely, and may primarily impact contract negotiations, agreements forged, and important relationships.

There may be an assessment of whether or not you should move forward with a marriage proposal or real estate venture with a partner, for examples. This could also be interpreted as negotiations in a business enterprise, or back-and-forth with family members on an inheritance. You won’t know where you stand until after Venus and Mercury station direct in April, and eclipse energy will not begin to wane until May. That’s why discernment and deliberation will be required. Patience is necessary. Change is here.

As we move further into the spring months, however, a marked shift in momentum will be felt, especially with Neptune and Saturn entering the sign of Aries signaling a taste of what’s to come in 2026 and beyond. You will feel more trusting of yourself, making clear decisions when it comes to certain investments of your time, love, money, energy, and expertise. A surge of activity will follow around new commitments, travel and broader aims, and even sudden developments leading to professional advancement that carry you into the summer months.

Mars, meanwhile, continues to gain traction throughout the rest of the year, motivating social engagements, inner solitude and reflection, as well as personal growth and development. This will amplify around the Summer Solstice when Jupiter ingresses the sign of Cancer. Consider this an enthusiastic period of networking, whether building your own platform, being seen as an influencer, or expanding your reach when it comes to your skillset. Milestones feature. Jupiter will be here for the long haul ensuring you make indelible impressions while connecting with new groups and affiliations.

Of course, this could also be interpreted as trying to be everywhere and do everything for everyone at once! You’ll be in high demand, whether attending speaking engagements, planning major conferences, or spending time with friends. Money matters will take on greater emphasis during the fall months, too, especially if seeking new streams of income or putting capital toward an enterprising venture.

In fact, Mercury – your ruling planet in Astrology – will retrograde again July 18 through August 11 bringing a needed inner pause for reflection. You may be contemplating how best to assert personal aims and outer demands with intention, or even navigating fear. Financial matters may bring inner angst, too; major transitions are likely overall as a Pisces Lunar Eclipse peaks on September 7 followed by another Eclipse – a solar event in your sign – on September 21. These eclipses will fall along the Pisces/Virgo axis, where the Nodes of Destiny are traveling, impacting you personally.

This axis centers “self” and “other” – everything from your independence to your responsibility toward the important people in your life (e.g., spouse, family member, close friend, etc.). There is a theme in effect strongly encouraging you to find a proper balance, discerning when to lean in with others and when to draw a hard line. All one-on-one relationships feature, including the one you have with yourself.

Now, the last few months of the year will keep the same energetic pace that we saw throughout the spring, bringing exciting changes of scenery, new learning and educational endeavors, as well as domestic matters. But Mercury’s final retrograde beginning November 10 through November 30 could stall this wave of movement. Short trips to visit extended family for the holidays may be affected, or an exam schedule could disrupt travel plans. No matter your experience, don’t let Mercury’s backward spin lead to second guessing. Your ability to adapt where necessary will make all the difference. The end of the year will restore your faith in what is meant to be a thrilling developing story.

As I mentioned at the start, you will be an important guide during these unprecedented times, and we’ll need you at your best, ready to “fix things” as you always do. Though of course, not at your own expense.

LIBRA

A green and white picture of the scales of justice.

September 23-October 22

LIBRA/LIBRA RISING IN 2025

Thankfully, Libra, yours is a peace-making sign. Your ability to compromise and consider others will be what helps us maintain some semblance of balance and order as we navigate the astrology of the times. To kick things off, we might learn from you how best to connect with our inner child and use our creative gifts to spread love and happiness (without sounding too “love and light!”). The evolution of your nurturing ways and commitment to community over the years will be what guides us through change.

Of course, this will require getting your own affairs in order, everything from your health to your daily routines. In fact, with Mars retrograde through the end of February, you may be considering a career change and those groups and affiliation that enhance your quality of life, overall.

That’s why Q1of 2025 will ask you to reconnect with your natural energetic state before charging forth with important chapters that come this spring. Whether pursuing professional advancement, launching your own enterprise, or linking up with like minds for shared causes, it will be important to claim authority around your expertise, and surround yourself with the those who further your growth.

Daily affairs feature as we move toward the close of winter, whether revamping your routines, starting a new health regimen, or making serious lifestyle changes. But you may have to discern how best to maximize vitality and be productive, staying consistent with your efforts while confronting unhealthy habits. This has been an ongoing exercise for a number of years, encouraging you to establish a better quality of living even if it is counterintuitive to how you were taught to function in this world. And as we enter the eclipse window in February, the pressure for something to give in these areas will be felt.

By March, a concentration of energy will take effect as we approach the Spring Equinox. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Neptune will line-up in a conjunct configuration above, visible to the naked eyed from planet Earth, generating a climactic force that erupts during the Virgo Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse on March 14, and the Aries New Moon/Solar Eclipse on March 29. Eclipses are harbingers of change ushering in endings and new beginnings. This will, by far, be the most cosmically active part of 2025. Major transitions are in store.

An important “a-ha” moment may bring insights related to partnership dealings (be they business or personal). You may realize that a toxic association is proving to be detrimental to your health, or the important others in your life may be draining your energy and compromising your level of efficiency. To add to the suspense, Venus and Mercury will station retrograde while the eclipses loom. Insecurities, uncertainties, assessments and misunderstandings that inhibit you from initiating a new chapter are likely, and may primarily impact important relationships, your regular routines, and even financial dealings.

You may be considering a business partnership, for example, that impacts your day-to-day, or a new medical specialist who can help improve ongoing health concerns. But you won’t know where you stand until after Venus and Mercury station direct in April, and eclipse energy will not begin to wane until May. That’s why discernment and deliberation will be required. Patience is necessary. Change is here.

As we move further into the spring months, however, a marked shift in momentum will be felt, especially with Neptune and Saturn entering the sign of Aries signaling a taste of what’s to come in 2026 and beyond. You will feel more assertive in all relationship dealings. A surge of activity will follow centering new partnerships, contracts and agreements, and even sudden new aspirational goals (i.e., travel and higher learning) that carry you into the summer months.

Mars, meanwhile, continues to gain traction throughout the rest of the year, generating movement at work, networking, inner solitude and reflection. This will amplify around the Summer Solstice when Jupiter ingresses the sign of Cancer. Consider this an enthusiastic period of expansion on the career front as you make progress in your field. Milestones of success feature. Jupiter will be here for the long haul inspiring new opportunities that further you along your vocational path and bring long term achievement.

Of course, this could also be interpreted as excessive work demands. It’s quite possible you’ll be juggling several projects at once, taking on more of a leadership role in professional settings. Personal growth will take on greater emphasis as a result during the fall months, too. Your confidence and ability to assert independent agendas will be highlighted.

In fact, Mercury will retrograde again July 18 through August 11 bringing delays within certain organizational settings and group dynamics. You may be contemplating a career move – even a business launch of your own. Major personal transitions are likely overall, as a Pisces Lunar Eclipse peaks on September 7 followed by a Virgo Solar Eclipse on September 21. These eclipses will fall along the Pisces/Virgo axis, where the Nodes of Destiny are traveling.

This axis centers your internal landscape and outer demands – everything from where you go to retreat from the hustle and grind to your ability to maintain a certain quality way of life. There is a theme in effect strongly encouraging you to find a proper balance, allowing yourself to be more intentional with every new project, responsibility, and other request taken on without compromising your wellness and need for solitude. Staying busy doesn’t fix things, Libra.

Now, the last few months of the year will keep the same energetic pace that we saw throughout the spring, bringing money matters, new purchases, changes of scenery and even new learning endeavors. But Mercury’s final retrograde beginning November 10 through November 30 could stall this wave of movement. Amazon purchases may be late to arrive in the mail, while talks and discussions regarding a raise, pause during the holidays. No matter your experience, don’t let Mercury’s backward spin lead to second guessing. A little tact, diplomacy, and understanding will make a world of difference. The end of the year will restore your faith in what is meant to be a thrilling developing story.

As I mentioned at the start, your kind nature will go a long way in these unprecedented times, and we’ll need you at your best. Of course, you must prioritize what is best for you, first, so that others can benefit.

The first eclipse of the year peaks this Friday, March 14 on the east coast. The day before Mercury stations retrograde in the sign of Aries. The same day as a potential government shutdown looms. This lunar event will have consequences; a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is meant to bring something to completion, and in the sign of Virgo, you can expect somewhat of a final execution. For you, Libra, this involves your subconscious mind, and the aspects of your internal landscape that keep you underliving and doubting your fullest potential. Whether navigating unresolved emotions or dealing with anxiety, something amiss must be reconciled. And with your ruling planet Venus currently retrograde, there could be some uncertainties as it specifically relates to important relationships and partnerships. What’s more, aspects of your health, lifestyle, and daily affairs may need assessing, too, especially if contemplating changes to your quality of life that demand support from your closest ties and connections. That said, whatever you are preparing to execute need not happen overnight, nor in one fell swoop. But you will have to give up something, be it heartache and resentment or unhelpful narratives. Retrograde planets allow for extended reviews, so take your time. In the spirit of Virgo, be precise. The Solar Eclipse that follows later on this month – also in the sign of Aries – brings a new start meant to restore confidence and determination.

SCORPIO

The first eclipse of the year peaks this Friday, March 14 on the east coast. The day before Mercury stations retrograde in the sign of Aries. The same day as a potential government shutdown looms. This lunar event will have consequences; a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is meant to bring something to completion, and in the sign of Virgo, you can expect somewhat of a final execution. For you, Scorpio, this involves the groups, organizations, and affiliations with which you are aligned, whether ending your tenure in a company setting or leaving a friendship circle behind. And with Venus currently retrograde, there may be a few additional considerations as you identify how such shifts might impact your lifestyle and day-to-day, or if seeking collaborative support toward a business enterprise. What’s more, you may be questioning your authentic contributions to a greater cause, and where your unique gifts and attributes could support ongoing passions and the things/people you hold dear. That said, whatever you are preparing to execute need not happen overnight, nor in one fell swoop. But you may have to give up something, be it unhealthy spaces or a toxic friendship. Retrograde planets allow for extended reviews, so take your time. In the spirit of Virgo, be precise. The Solar Eclipse that follows later on this month – also in the sign of Aries – brings a new start meant to restore confidence and determination.

October 23-November 21

SCORPIO/SCORPIO RISING IN 2025

Thankfully, Scorpio, yours is a fearless sign. Your ability to call one’s bluff, and sniff out what lies hidden beneath the surface of things, is what we’ll need as we navigate the astrology of the times. To kick things off, we might learn from you how best to water the ground beneath our feet, tending to emotional wellness and ease. The decade-long evolution of your instinctual gifts and abilities to communicate what is often left unsaid, will be what guides us through change on the horizon.

Of course, this will require returning to your innocence and inner child, especially if you’ve been neglecting your own desires, pushing off happiness, and foreboding joy. In fact, with Mars retrograde through the end of February, you may be considering your passions and what gives your life meaning, particularly when it comes to your career and profession.

That’s why Q1of 2025 will ask you to reconnect with your natural energetic state before charging forth with important chapters that come this spring. Whether going back to school, taking up a new trade, or launching your own enterprise, it will be important to consider a few leaps of faith, and trust that you will find your own unique vocational path.

Children and recreation feature as we move toward the close of winter, whether preparing for parenthood, in love with a romantic mate, or launching creative projects. But you may have to discern what’s real and what’s imagined in matters of the heart. Are you seeing a potential partner clearly, or falling for their potential? Are children in your future, or are you unsure? Can you realistically move forward with an artistic launch? This has been an ongoing exercise for a number of years, encouraging you to get clear on what would bring your heart content when it comes to children and youth, romance, and personal talents that fuel playful excitement. As we enter the eclipse window in February, the pressure for something to give in these areas will be felt.

By March, a concentration of energy will take effect as we approach the Spring Equinox. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Neptune will line-up in a conjunct configuration above, visible to the naked eyed from planet Earth, generating a climactic force that erupts during the Virgo Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse on March 14, and the Aries New Moon/Solar Eclipse on March 29. Eclipses are harbingers of change ushering in endings and new beginnings. This will, by far, be the most cosmically active part of 2025. Major transitions are in store.

You may be leaving behind an important group or affiliation as you consider a new work environment or lifestyle change. This could also look like retirement from an organization, or a department change in a company setting that comes with new responsibilities. But to add to the suspense, Venus and Mercury will station retrograde while the eclipses loom. Insecurities, uncertainties, assessments and misunderstandings that inhibit you from initiating a new chapter are likely, primarily impacting finances, creative collaborations, and daily affairs.

What comes to mind is financial planning for a growing family, or a business start-up that sees you navigating a hiring process. You won’t know where you stand until after Venus and Mercury station direct in April, and eclipse energy will not begin to wane until May. That’s why discernment and deliberation will be required. Patience is necessary. Change is here.

As we move further into the spring months, however, a marked shift in momentum will be felt, especially with Neptune and Saturn entering the sign of Aries signaling a taste of what’s to come in 2026 and beyond. You will feel more assertive in all daily routines, health and wellness, and ongoing responsibilities, prioritizing your quality of living. A surge of activity will follow centering your day-to-day, important relationships, and even sudden developments in new commitments forged (business or personal).

Mars, meanwhile, continues to gain traction throughout the rest of the year, motivating aspirational goals (i.e., travel, higher learning, publishing, etc.), career development, and social networking. This will amplify right around the Summer Solstice as Jupiter ingresses the sign of Cancer. Consider this a period of expansion when it comes to foreign terrain and new experiences. Milestones feature. Jupiter will be here for the long-haul inspiring hopes and dreams for your future that support a growing sense of purpose.

Of course, this could also be interpreted as over enthusiasm. Not everything that glitters is gold, Scorpio – be careful not to try your luck at all the shiny things. It will be important to manage your expectations, whether applying for a business license, moving abroad, or learning a new language. It will be good to leave your comfort zone, and still, you must be realistic around potential outcomes. You also want to be intentional when it comes to big changes. A low cycle this fall may see you more contemplative.

In fact, Mercury will retrograde again July 18 through August 11 bringing delays on the career front. You may be considering a new position that comes with a learning curve, and feel the need to retreat as you consider major transitions overall. This culminates with a Pisces Lunar Eclipse on September 7 followed by a Virgo Solar Eclipse on September 21. These eclipses will fall along the Pisces/Virgo axis, where the Nodes of Destiny are traveling.

This axis centers feelings of belonging and community – everything from where you fit in with friends and at work, to what separatees you from the crowd. There is a theme in effect strongly encouraging you to insert yourself with others, joining forces for a greater cause, and to do so fully assured of your unique attributes, and what you have to offer the group.

Now, the last few months of the year will keep the same energetic pace that we saw throughout the spring, inspiring personal growth, independent projects, and money matters. But Mercury’s final retrograde through your sign beginning November 10 through November 30 could stall this wave of momentum. An insurance claim for a vanity change may undergo additional review, for example, or personal endeavors may be put on pause due to a lack of funds. No matter your experience, don’t let Mercury’s backward spin lead to second guessing. See this as a time to reconsider your options before you act. The end of the year will restore your faith in what is meant to be a thrilling developing story.

Remember, your natural instincts will get us through unprecedented times; we need you at your best. And, “your best” is what you make of it – perspective is everything. Your happiness is our happiness.

SAGITTARIUS

November 22-December 21

SAGITTARIUS/SAGITTARIUS RISING IN 2025

Thankfully, Sagittarius, yours is an optimistic sign. Your ability to see the glass as half-full will be what is needed as we navigate the astrology of the times. To kick things off, we might learn from you how best to change our perspectives as needed, speaking truth more loudly – more vocally. The evolution of your integrity, inherent worth, and commitment to truth, will be what guides us through change on the horizon.

Of course, this will require returning to your roots and securing your own foundations when it comes to your physical space, emotional home, and relations with kin. In fact, with Mars retrograde through the end of February, you may be considering your values, your loyalties, where and with whom to invest your time, love, and energy, and what brings your life meaning overall. Q1of 2025 will ask you to reconnect with your natural energetic state before charging forth with important chapters that come this spring. Whether considering a move abroad, investing in a new business enterprise, or simply weighing your options for all that is possible for your life at this juncture, you must be open to new leaps of faith, securing your commitments in the process.

Home and family feature as we move toward the close of winter. You may be relocating, entertaining guests, or managing growing family demands. As events unfold, questions around your needs, physical space, and relationships with loved ones will come up for review. Are you sweeping issues under the rug? Do you need to erect firmer boundaries or have a heart-to-heart? This has been an ongoing exercise for a number of years, encouraging you to see family dynamics as they are, water the ground beneath your feet, and learn how to “parent” yourself if there’s been neglect. As we enter the eclipse window in February, the pressure for something to give in these areas will be felt.

By March, a concentration of energy will take effect as we approach the Spring Equinox. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Neptune will line-up in a conjunct configuration above, visible to the naked eyed from planet Earth, generating a climactic force that erupts during the Virgo Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse on March 14, and the Aries New Moon/Solar Eclipse on March 29. Eclipses are harbingers of change ushering in endings and new beginnings. This will, by far, be the most cosmically active part of 2025. Major transitions are in store.

You may be ending your role at a company or an affiliation to begin a new creative enterprise on your own. This could also be interpreted as family leave to welcome a new addition. But to add to the suspense, Venus and Mercury will station retrograde while the eclipses loom. Insecurities, uncertainties, assessments and misunderstandings that inhibit you from initiating a new chapter are likely, primarily impacting domestic activities, creative collaborations, and even finances.

What comes to mind are home repairs that need to be completed before bringing home a newborn, difficulties with a child home from school, or a period of adjustment if moving in with a romantic partner. You won’t know where you stand until after Venus and Mercury station direct in April, and eclipse energy will not begin to wane until May. That’s why discernment and deliberation will be required. Patience is necessary. Change is here.

As we move further into the spring months, however, a marked shift in momentum will be felt, especially with Neptune and Saturn entering the sign of Aries signaling a taste of what’s to come in 2026 and beyond. You will feel more assertive with children, artistic pursuits, and affairs of the heart. A surge of activity will follow centering child’s play, your daily routines, and sudden new relationship developments.

Mars, meanwhile, continues to gain traction throughout the rest of the year, motivating new investments (business, financial, and personal), aspirational goals, and career development. This will amplify right around the Summer Solstice as Jupiter ingresses the sign of Cancer. Consider this a period of expansion when it comes to new agreements forged. Whether merging in a marital tie, healing wounds in a therapy setting, or building a start-up enterprise, milestones feature. Jupiter will be here for the long-haul inspiring intimate dealings that prove lucrative and rewarding.

Of course, this could also be interpreted as overcommitting yourself. A business start-up may sound promising, and still, you must manage your expectations. You may be inspired to take out a loan or secure funding toward an aspiring enterprise, but the investment of your time will be significant. Whether managing properties via real estate or offering support in an emotional tie, know your limits.

In fact, Mercury will retrograde again July 18 through August 11 bringing delays around dreams in the making. You may very well be investing in an ambitious enterprise, or even booking the trip of a lifetime. But there will be hiccups with securing a business license, a grant, or even a travel visa. Social engagements will be on the rise, too, as major transitions feature once more. This all culminates with a Pisces Lunar Eclipse on September 7 followed by a Virgo Solar Eclipse on September 21. These eclipses will fall along the Pisces/Virgo axis, where the Nodes of Destiny are traveling.

This axis centers home and legacy – everything from where you feel safe and secure with the people you love, to how you are able to build upon your vocational path doing work that gives you purpose. There is a theme in effect strongly encouraging you to balance domestic demands with professional aspirations. It isn’t necessary to sacrifice one for the other; a creative compromise is possible as long as you operate with intention and truth, focused on what matters and what you value.

Now, the last few months of the year will keep the same energetic pace that we saw throughout the spring, inspiring activities behind the scenes as you take stock of the year and prepare for another solar return. A growth spurt will soon take precedent. But Mercury’s final retrograde beginning November 10 through November 30 could stall this wave of momentum. A new agenda may not be clear as internal dialogues see you questioning personal goals and ambitions. No matter your experience, however, try not to let Mercury’s backward spin lead to second guessing. Lie low during this period. Rest and await further instruction that resides within you. The end of the year will restore your faith in what is meant to be a thrilling developing story.

As I mentioned at the start, your unwavering hope for the world will help us in these unprecedented times; we’ll need you at your best. Of course, being at your best demands you live out your truth.

The first eclipse of the year peaks this Friday, March 14 on the east coast. The day before Mercury stations retrograde in the sign of Aries. The same day as a potential government shutdown looms. This lunar event will have consequences; a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is meant to bring something to completion, and in the sign of Virgo, you can expect somewhat of a final execution. For you, Sagittarius, this involves your career and profession, whether leaving a company or launching a business collaboration. And with Venus currently retrograde, there may be a few additional considerations, especially if you are, in fact, building a creative enterprise or going on family leave. What’s more, you may be considering how best to anchor yourself amidst such change; you could be planning a relocation or simply watering the ground beneath your own feet. That said, whatever you are preparing to execute need not happen overnight, nor in one fell swoop. But you may have to give up something, be it a toxic work environment or an unfulfilled professional goal. Retrograde planets allow for extended reviews, so take your time. In the spirit of Virgo, be precise. The Solar Eclipse that follows later on this month – also in the sign of Aries – brings a new start meant to restore confidence and determination.

CAPRICORN

The first eclipse of the year peaks this Friday, March 14 on the east coast. The day before Mercury stations retrograde in the sign of Aries. The same day as a potential government shutdown looms. This lunar event will have consequences; a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is meant to bring something to completion, and in the sign of Virgo, you can expect somewhat of a final execution. For you, Capricorn, this involves those aspirational goals that see you leaping on faith and betting on yourself – you may finally decide to take a risk. And with Venus currently retrograde, there could be a few additional considerations, whether moving abroad, studying your own ancestry and lineage, or getting acclimated in foreign settings. There may even be confusion to navigate when it comes to your own thinking and belief systems, and how best to communicate your overarching dreams while sharing your ideas and vision with the wider world. That said, whatever you are preparing to execute need not happen overnight, nor in one fell swoop. But you may have to give up something, be it a need to control outcomes or fear of the unknown. Retrograde planets allow for extended reviews, so take your time. In the spirit of Virgo, be precise. The Solar Eclipse that follows later on this month – also in the sign of Aries – brings a new start meant to restore confidence and determination.

CAPRICORN/CAPRICORN RISING IN 2025

Thankfully, Capricorn, yours is a strategic sign. Your ability to plan for the long-haul is the kind of discipline we need while navigating the astrology of the times. To kick things off, we might learn from you how best to call in abundance and prosperity, knowing ourselves of deserving of a life of love, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Your reasoned approach to life and experience of personal transformation over the years, will be what guides us through change on the horizon.

Of course, this will require adjusting your own attitude, immersing yourself in new settings and new subject matter, and unlearning/relearning all that you thought you knew. In fact, with Mars retrograde through the end of February, you may be considering where and with whom to invest your time, love, and energy, along with ongoing commitments, overall. Q1of 2025 will ask you to reconnect with your natural energetic state before charging forth with important chapters that come this spring. Whether contemplating a committed tie (business or personal), forging new agreements, or simply healing those wounds that impact your ability to trust, you must be sure to secure all investments, and be open to different life views and perspectives that do not resemble your own.

Interestingly, education, short trips, and increased communication feature as we move toward the close of winter. You may be undergoing learning curves in a classroom setting, getting acclimated in new environments, or launching online platforms. As developments take shape, you’ll either feel a growing sense of intrigue, or grow disillusioned, when it comes to all that’s been familiar to you (e.g., a skillset, town or community, forms of communication, etc.). This has been an ongoing experience for a number of years, encouraging you to discern fact from fiction, relate to your surroundings and those whom you engage regularly with curiosity and compassion, and sharpen your mind as you master new topics of interest. As we enter the eclipse window in February, the pressure for something to give in these areas will be felt.

By March, a concentration of energy will take effect as we approach the Spring Equinox. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Neptune will line-up in a conjunct configuration above, visible to the naked eyed from planet Earth, generating a climactic force that erupts during the Virgo Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse on March 14, and the Aries New Moon/Solar Eclipse on March 29. Eclipses are harbingers of change ushering in endings and new beginnings. This will, by far, be the most cosmically active part of 2025. Major transitions are in store.

You may be wrapping up a major milestone that leads to a fresh start centering domestic matters. What comes to mind is living abroad after securing a residency permit, or booking a family trip of a lifetime. But to add to the suspense, Venus and Mercury will station retrograde while the eclipses loom. Insecurities, uncertainties, assessments and misunderstandings that inhibit you from initiating a new chapter are likely, primarily impacting learning, family, and finances.

A new home settlement or refinancing process may take longer than anticipated, for example. Or you may be dealing with a period of adjustments if you have, in fact, relocated to an unknown environment. Misunderstandings with loved ones are likely, too, and you won’t know where you stand until after Venus and Mercury station direct in April. The eclipse energy will not begin to wane until May. That’s why discernment and deliberation will be required. Patience is necessary. Change is here.

As we move further into the spring months, however, a marked shift in momentum will be felt, especially with Neptune and Saturn entering the sign of Aries signaling a taste of what’s to come in 2026 and beyond. You will feel more assertive with domestic change and property matters. A surge of activity will follow centering home and family, children and romance, and sudden lifestyle changes, overall.

Mars, meanwhile, continues to gain traction throughout the rest of the year motivating relationship dealings (e.g., with a spouse or romantic partner, business partner, close friend, relative, etc.), new investments (business, financial, and personal), and aspirational goals. This will amplify around the Summer Solstice when Jupiter ingresses the sign of Cancer. Consider this a period of growth in one-on-one connections. Whether getting married, healing strained ties, enhancing current ties, or building new relationships, milestones feature. Jupiter will be here for the long-haul inspiring relationship bliss.

Of course, this could also be interpreted as too many relationship demands. You may be taking on greater responsibilities with family and loved ones, or feeling resentful if the energy you give in connections with others isn’t reciprocated. Whether forging new artistic collaborations or simply getting into a groove as a married person, balance between “self” and “other” will be required.

In fact, Mercury will retrograde again July 18 through August 11 bringing setbacks in important partnerships. You may be negotiating a prenup or investing in property with someone. Career matters will be on the rise, too, as major transitions feature once more. This all culminates with a Pisces Lunar Eclipse on September 7 followed by a Virgo Solar Eclipse on September 21. These eclipses will fall along the Pisces/Virgo axis, where the Nodes of Destiny are traveling.

This axis centers comfort and familiarity as well as leaps of faith – everything from what you know and what you have grown accustomed to, to broader aims that see you leaving comfort behind. The song lyrics that come to mind are, “should I stay, or should I go now?” There is a theme in effect strongly encouraging you to consider the great unknown, furthering yourself in ways that may feel scary but prove expansive, whether going back to school, changing careers, or integrating new spiritual beliefs.

Now, the last few months of the year will keep the same energetic pace that we saw throughout the spring, inspiring networking and activities behind the scenes. Another growth spurt will soon take precedent. But Mercury’s final retrograde beginning November 10 through November 30 could stall this wave of momentum. You may feel too tired to be social, or dealing with logistical challenges while planning a major event. No matter your experience, don’t let Mercury’s backward spin lead to second guessing. Take a beat and pause as needed. The end of the year will restore your faith in what is meant to be a thrilling developing story.

As I mentioned at the start, your drive and ambition will help us in these unprecedented times; we’ll need you at your best. Allow others to support your efforts, then. The best leaders know how to build armies.

AQUARIUS/AQUARIUS RISING IN 2025

Thankfully, Aquarius, yours is a visionary sign. Your ability to see into the future is the kind of innovation we need while navigating the astrology of the times. To kick things off, we might learn from you how best to rise up and rebel against all that is unjust and undemocratic in this world. Your inclusive approach to life and revolution, paired with inner work you’ve been doing over the years, will be what guides us through change on the horizon.

Of course, this will require remembering your innate worth and advocating for what it is you value. In fact, with Mars retrograde through the end of February, you may be considering lifestyle changes, daily routines, as well as where and with whom to invest your time, love, and energy, overall. Q1of 2025 will ask you to reconnect with your natural energetic state before charging forth with important chapters that come this spring. Whether contemplating a partnership (business or personal), working with a new medical specialist, or getting your affairs in order, you must be sure to prioritize what matters most, as well as who matters most.

Financial activities feature as we move toward the close of winter, meanwhile. You may be making major purchases, negotiating new streams of income, or seeking greater compensation in a work setting. As developments take shape, however, you might be forced to confront a scarcity mentality. This has been an ongoing experience for a number of years, encouraging you to remember your worth, trust that everything you need will be provided, and to be more responsible with how you manage your money and resources. As we enter the eclipse window in February, the pressure for something to give in these areas will be felt.

By March, a concentration of energy will take effect as we approach the Spring Equinox. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Neptune will line-up in a conjunct configuration above, visible to the naked eyed from planet Earth, generating a climactic force that erupts during the Virgo Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse on March 14, and the Aries New Moon/Solar Eclipse on March 29. Eclipses are harbingers of change ushering in endings and new beginnings. This will, by far, be the most cosmically active part of 2025. Major transitions are in store.

You may be in talks about a salary adjustment, or navigating settlement on a home purchase. This could also be interpreted as investment toward a brick-and-mortar shop for business purposes in your community, or making a tuition payment for a child’s education. But to add to the suspense, Venus and Mercury will station retrograde while the eclipses loom. Insecurities, uncertainties, assessments and misunderstandings that inhibit you from initiating a new chapter are likely, primarily impacting money and potential new learning endeavors.

A scholarship application may undergo additional assessment, for example. A request for a rental unit may come with background-and-security checks before you can sign a lease. This could also be interpreted as a home refinance process that takes longer than expected. You won’t know where you stand until after Venus and Mercury station direct in April. The eclipse energy will not begin to wane until May. That’s why discernment and deliberation will be required. Patience is necessary. Change is here.

As we move further into the spring months, however, a marked shift in momentum will be felt, especially with Neptune and Saturn entering the sign of Aries signaling a taste of what’s to come in 2026 and beyond. You will feel more assertive communicating expectations and advocating for what you need/want. A surge of activity will follow centering changes of scenery, domestic matters, and even sudden developments with children and romance.

Mars continues to gain traction throughout the rest of the year in the meantime, motivating changing routines, especially in connection with the significant others in your life (e.g., spouse or romantic partner, business partner, close friend, relative, etc.), as well as new investments and agreements. This will amplify around the Summer Solstice when Jupiter ingresses the sign of Cancer. Consider this a period of expansion in daily affairs. Whether navigating married life, working with a health coach, or merging in a business partnership, busy days are highlighted.

Of course, this could also be interpreted as too many new chores, tasks, and responsibilities. You may be taking on a new position at work that comes with more hats to juggle, starting a new workout regimen, or becoming a pet parent. You must be careful not to overdo it, adding too much to your plate. You might enjoy the growing energy in these areas, and still be sure not to stretch yourself too thin.

In fact, Mercury will retrograde again July 18 through August 11 bringing setbacks in important relationships. This could look like a period of adjustments in a new partnership, or a business collaboration that needs to be better organized. Travel, higher learning, and aspirational goals will be on the rise, too, as major transitions feature once more. This all culminates with a Pisces Lunar Eclipse on September 7 followed by a Virgo Solar Eclipse on September 21.

These eclipses will fall along the Pisces/Virgo axis, where the Nodes of Destiny are traveling. This axis centers personal values and resources, as well as what you share with others – everything from your income to where you invest your time, love, and money in partnership and toward outside ventures. It will be important that you take inventory of all the abundance and prosperity you have to offer, and be sure that you are being fairly compensated and rewarded. Only you can decide your worth, Water Bearer.

Now, the last few months of the year will keep the same energetic pace that we saw throughout the spring, inspiring career growth and even networking. You may be interviewing for a prestigious new position or building a client base. But Mercury’s final retrograde beginning November 10 through November 30 could stall this wave of momentum. Interview dates may get pushed back. An invitation to speak at a professional conference could be reconsidered. No matter your experience, don’t let Mercury’s backward spin lead to second guessing. Remember – you come with receipts! The end of the year will restore your faith in what is meant to be a thrilling developing story.

As I mentioned at the start, your inventive spirit will help us in these unprecedented times; we’ll need you at your best. This demands that you go against the grain – you were never meant for the status quo.

The first eclipse of the year peaks this Friday, March 14 on the east coast. The day before Mercury stations retrograde in the sign of Aries. The same day as a potential government shutdown looms. This lunar event will have consequences; a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is meant to bring something to completion, and in the sign of Virgo, you can expect somewhat of a final execution. For you, Aquarius, this involves intimate affairs that could bring risks, vulnerabilities, and discomfort. Whether finalizing a business partnership, preparing for a tax audit, or considering a romantic commitment, this week comes with weight. And with Venus currently retrograde, there may be a few considerations around how best to advocate for what you need and want in partnership, expressing your honest thoughts and opinions when it comes to any sensitive agreements. That said, whatever you are preparing to execute need not happen overnight, nor in one fell swoop. But you may have to give up something in the way of an investment or psychological fears. Retrograde planets allow for extended reviews, so take your time. In the spirit of Virgo, be precise. The Solar Eclipse that follows later on this month – also in the sign of Aries – brings a new start meant to restore confidence and determination.

This lunar event will have consequences; a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is meant to bring something to completion, and in the sign of Virgo, you can expect somewhat of a final execution. For you, Pisces, this involves your connections with others, be they business or personal. You may be dissolving a relationship, having a long overdue heart-to-heart, or erecting a firm boundary. And with Venus currently retrograde, there could be additional considerations around certain financial agreements, feelings of worthiness and support from others, as well as reciprocal exchanges in one-on-one commitments. That said, whatever you are preparing to execute need not happen overnight, nor in one fell swoop. But you may have to give up something, be it a toxic person or an unhealthy pattern in relating.

PISCES/PISCES RISING IN 2025

Thankfully, Pisces, yours is a spiritual sign – otherworldly and intimately connected to the “God-force” that surrounds us. Your ability to transcend and heal our humanity is what we need while navigating the astrology of the times. To kick things off, we might learn from your depth and intuitive wisdom. Your innate understanding of the suffering of mankind has informed your ability to build community with others over the years, and that will be what guides us through change on the horizon.

Of course, this will require trusting and mastering yourself. In fact, with Mars retrograde through the end of February, you may be considering your unique creative gifts and talents, as well as lifestyle changes, overall. Q1of 2025 will ask you to reconnect with your natural energetic state before charging forth with important chapters that come this spring. Whether launching artistic collaborations, growing your family, or reorganizing daily affairs, you must prioritize what matters most, and allow your light to shine.

Personal goals feature as we move through your birthday season wrapping up the winter months. You may be making vanity changes, focused on self-growth or launching independent projects. As developments take shape, however, there may be a few self-doubts to confront. This has been an ongoing experience for a number of years, ultimately encouraging you to see yourself clearly as you are, minus the filter of outside influences, and claim authority over who you wish to become. As we enter the eclipse window in February, the pressure for something to give in these areas will be felt.

By March, a concentration of energy will take effect as we approach the Spring Equinox. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Neptune will line-up in a conjunct configuration above, visible to the naked eyed from planet Earth, generating a climactic force that erupts during the Virgo Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse on March 14, and the Aries New Moon/Solar Eclipse on March 29. Eclipses are harbingers of change ushering in endings and new beginnings. This will, by far, be the most cosmically active part of 2025. Major transitions are in store.

You may be considering your needs in a relationship, potentially divesting from an unhealthy union (business or personal) in order to reaffirm your innate worth and focus on independent pursuits. But to add to the suspense, Venus and Mercury will station retrograde in your sign while the eclipses loom. Insecurities, uncertainties, assessments and misunderstandings that inhibit you from initiating a new chapter are likely, primarily impacting money and potential partnerships.

A business venture may require additional consideration, for example. This could also look like advocating for what you need and want as you find balance with relationship demands, or seeking financial support to further a personal agenda. You won’t know where you stand until after Venus and Mercury station direct in April. The eclipse energy will not begin to wane until May. That’s why discernment and deliberation will be required. Patience is necessary. Change is here.

As we move further into the spring months, however, a marked shift in momentum will be felt, especially with Neptune and Saturn entering the sign of Aries signaling a taste of what’s to come in 2026 and beyond. You will become more assertive advocating for what you need/want, working through inner fears that block vulnerability. A surge of activity will follow centering money, changes of scenery, and sudden domestic developments, too.

Mars, meanwhile, continues to gain traction throughout the rest of the year, motivating creative projects, romance, daily affairs, and connections with the significant others in your life (e.g., spouse or romantic partner, business partner, close friend, relative, etc.). This will amplify around the Summer Solstice when Jupiter ingresses the sign of Cancer. Consider this a period of artistic expansion, whether starting a family, launching artistic enterprises, connecting with children/youth, or entering a budding romance.

Of course, this could also be interpreted as too many romantic suitors to choose from, or growing demands involving children (furry and human!). Fertile energy abounds which will motivate you to engage what inspires joy and happiness (i.e., love, recreation, entertainment, and your artistry). Your muse will be clear and present. Just be mindful of gambling on too many speculative ventures.

In fact, Mercury will retrograde again July 18 through August 11 bringing setbacks to daily affairs. This could look like adjustments getting into a routine with a creative or romantic partner, or difficulties navigating parenthood In fact, intimate dealings and new commitments will be on the rise, too, as major transitions feature once more. This all culminates with a Lunar Eclipse on September 7 in your sign, followed by a Virgo Solar Eclipse on September 21.

These eclipses will fall along the Pisces/Virgo axis, where the Nodes of Destiny are traveling, affecting you personally. This axis centers “self” and “other;” 2025 will be a banner year for partnerships of all kinds. But you will be learning to discern where you end, and where a partnership begins, no longer sacrificing your needs and wants in ways that undermine healthy relating experiences. It takes two to tango. You will be learning important relationship lessons throughout the year.

Now, the last few months of the year will keep the same energetic pace that we saw throughout the spring, inspiring aspirational goals and even career growth. You may be interviewing for a prestigious new position with an international organization or launching your own enterprise. But Mercury’s final retrograde beginning November 10 through November 30 could stall this wave of momentum.

A travel visa needed for a conference abroad could be delayed, or your consideration for tenure in an academic setting might be challenged. No matter your experience, don’t let Mercury’s backward spin lead to second guessing. All will resolve by the end of the year, and your faith in what is meant to be a thrilling developing story will be restored.

As I mentioned at the start, your divine gifts will help us in these unprecedented times; we’ll need you at your best. This demands that you see yourself as your best frame of reference. We will follow your lead.
