Eternal Glitter

-

 


It has been a long stretch of brown and grey with no sign of green. The ground is bare and hard, yet the light is on the rise. There is something in the air - could it be the spring? Maybe. It is undecided for now. A strange „in-between“, time undefined by the clear boundaries of the distinct season.

At this time of the year, I start yearning for spring, for light, for warmth and comfort of seeing the life popping up all around me. It is hard to stay calm when you know „it´s coming“ when it´s lurking around the corner. 

I am becoming restless. 

I know once spring hits, it will be impossible for me to stay inside and tend to things that need my attention. I ache for the light yet I fear losing the safety of the darkness.

Pisces season is upon us. The sign of Pisces, two fishes captured by an invisible string, swimming in opposite directions. Their journey is of a cyclical nature, it has no destination. It is not about the one or the other. They are bound to float together eternally. Swimming up towards the light and at the same time being drawn back down into the darkness.

That constant yearning for something you don´t have thinking that once you reach it your struggles will be over. The endless cycle of eagerly running after something with great expectation and once you have it, once it is within your reach, you become dissatisfied with it. It has lost its glitter.

To stay in the constant flow of time rather than to swim long distance. Seems impossible to do. But even a small step counts. One moment at a time.

Keep the hope alive, keep floating.

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...

Fighting for Life - Mars Opposite Pluto

-

  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...

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...
