Delayed Satisfaction - Capricorn ♑

Image
Astrologically, January is connected with the sign of Capricorn, the home sign of the planet Saturn. Imagine a countryside in winter. Fields lie bare after harvest, and the ground is frozen. The trees stand bare without their leaves, with their branches exposed. It feels quieter, the nature is resting. There are fewer colors, and their shades are muted. There are fewer distractions. What stands out vividly now is the texture, shapes, and overall structure of the world around you. You can see what’s really hardy and what is fragile. What is there to stay, and what easily succumbs to a frost. The world around you seems to be stripped of life. This time of the year is about hardiness and necessity, but it is also a favorable time for reflection and quiet contemplation. Capricorn season represents a contracting energy that is pulling us inwards, making us look at where we’re putting our energy, what we’re managing and building in our lives, and what structural support we have available....

Feeling is Believing - Saturn ♓ & Jupiter ♋ & Water Trines

Image
  Saturn and Neptune are back in Pisces, and Jupiter is in Cancer. These planets are engaged in a powerful, long-lasting trine, and together they provide an anchor to a powerful grand water trine in the sky, with faster moving planets coming through the sign of Scorpio.  The water element is feminine in nature. Feminine energy is about emotional sensitivity, boundlessness, flow, and receptivity.  Energetically, we might feel like circumstances are constantly shifting around us. Nothing is solid, things are dissolving and taking shape at the same time, like when we´re walking through a thick fog and we see things in our surroundings taking shape in front of us and dissapearing back into the invisible realm. Coming from October into November, the reality feels like an impressionistic painting, like a huge canvas filled with visible, broken brushstrokes of pure unmixed colors. The resulting image is more about capturing a fleeting sensory experience, the uniqueness of the cu...

Echoes From the Past - Saturn&Neptune ♓ &Uranus ♉

Image
We´re back. It seems like the ground has shifted in the past few weeks. We find ourselves in the familiar terrain, terrain that we traversed heavily in the winter and spring of this year. I´ll be dropping dates here and there, but the timeline is not important. What matters is our humane experience. On September 1, Saturn returned back to Pisces. Saturn is bringing back the lessons we’ve taken a break from at the end of May. At the time, it felt like we had reached the limit. We assumed it’s done once and for all. But it’s not. Not yet. A Piscean story in our lives needs some distance and time. And this is where Saturn comes in as the lord of necessity, limits, and time. Time provides much-needed space for pause, reflection, and appreciation for what we´ve been through.  We've been in this space before; we know this, yet it feels somewhat different now. So much has happened in between. New has been a theme of the summer months. We had a chance to enter new, exciting worlds and...

New Moon in Leo

Image
Some time ago, I asked my son how he would describe me: "You like to do things your way and you're wild," he said. I was stunned, as this is not the way I see myself in public. I usually let out my Leo side in private where it's safe. People who don’t know me have no idea about my wild side. No wonder. It’s tucked away in a dark closet of my 12th house, a place of loss, suffering, and self-sabotage. And isolation, fear, and all that good stuff…   I’ve always loved this fiery part of me. This wild, all-consuming energy that rushes through my body. I feared it at the same time. I’ve always craved to be seen and appreciated, but when I got the attention, I didn’t know what to do with it.    Confidence is often stereotypically tied with Leo archetype, but from my experience, Leo part of our charts (everyone has Leo house in their chart) is often a place of shame and guilt. It is a place where we hold lots of fear and where we need to grow our confidence.   Leo energy is ...

All Shades of Weird - Uranus in Gemini

Image
  On July 7, 2025, Uranus entered Gemini, the airy domicile of Mercury. Uranus, the archetype that represents the principle of freedom and breakthrough, experimentation, and originality is now coupled with his favorite buddy. Mercury/Hermes, the ruler of Gemini, and Uranus are like mischievous buddies that crash every party. Uninvited, they show up whenever they feel like it. They have fun playing pranks on everybody to get a reaction and to stir up the trouble.    This energizing combo screams „Change for the sake of change“. Uranus in Gemini represents a double dose of speed and instability. This is an energy of „anything goes“. There are no limits and no restraints - everything is a possibility. Uranus and the sign of Gemini share a lightning-quick mind, originality, and inventiveness but at the same time, we might be dealing with overstimulation and nervous restlessness.  Our mind comes to the forefront and becomes a source of excitement. We get fascinated by tho...

Soft Animal of Your Body - Jupiter in Cancer

Image
  „Welcome magic and wonder Brilliance and grace Welcome joy, satisfaction Pleasure and strength Welcome essence, beauty, presence Time, spirit, form, and space Welcome excellence in every blessing Sacred and pray…“.            (I AM – Beautiful chorus, feat. India Arie )   On June 9, 2025, Jupiter is entering Cancer. We are turning a new, hopeful, chapter in the lunar part of our charts. I feel that the arrival of great benefic into the sign of its exaltation will be extra potent. We´re moving from Jupiter in Gemini, a masculine, mental sign of Mercury where Jupiter is in its detriment to Cancer, a feminine, fertile sign of the Moon where Jupiter is exalted.  Jupiter's journey through the intellectual sign of Gemini has delivered multiple resources at our disposal and a large amount of data to sort through. The right piece of information felt like our saving grace. This transit of Jupiter brought a kind of a scientif...

Fighting for Life - Mars Opposite Pluto

Image
  On April 27, 2025, we are facing the third and final opposition of Mars and Pluto at 3° of Leo and Aquarius.  When Mars and Pluto are engaged in a harsh aspect of opposition, it is like a face-off where two power players are trying to gain control. Imagine two boxers before their showdown in the ring. They're stating their position by hurling insults and threatening each other.  ​ There is no room for pause. There is no room to catch a breath. You have to pay attention at all times otherwise your opponent takes advantage of the situation. Opposition is a push-pull relationship.  Opposition is about tension that can't be reconciled.  Opposition of Mars and Pluto brings urgency to our actions. When Mars and Pluto are involved in a tense aspect, it often feels like a survival mode – DO or DIE. Imagine unbearable pressure. It feels crushing like it's going to break you. At that moment, your instinct either kicks in and you’re going to fight for your life or you re...
