The past few weeks were like a Uranian wrecking ball with shocks and norm-busting at warp speed. The work is to recalibrate your mind and nervous system to maintain your balance, as we are being stretched and strengthened. Om Shanti Om… 🙏🏼 🕉️ 💜

Mars Retrograde is basically standing still, preparing to turn Direct on Feb 23 and is in harmony with Saturn in Pisces, supporting concentrated effort, patience and actions that can create lasting results. You are putting down roots wherever you are taking methodical actions and the results of your efforts will bear fruit later.

Feb 14 – Mercury in Pisces. Mercury leaves rational Aquarius to move into sensitive Pisces, ruler of dreams (waking and sleeping), transcendence, compassion, empathy and Oneness. Multidimensional, flashes of knowing to subtle prompts that we must recognize to pick up. 

Mercury in Pisces is a channel to your Intuitive Guidance, the most empowering gift and skill ever – once you master your ability to tune in and trust it, it will never lead you astray. Mercury in Pisces is also abundant creative imagery, stellar for writing, storytelling, poetry and photography – all forms of communication, especially non-verbal, and for visioning your future. I say, “If it’s in your consciousness, it’s meant for you.” 

Whatever takes you beyond your linear mind and opens you to a higher space that is fertile and rich with imagination is the realm of Mercury in Pisces. Artists, spiritual practitioners, and writers are well served by this energy. Just be mindful to stay high and don’t fall down a rabbit hole in fear or worry (a misuse of imagination, a Mercury in Pisces shadow).

Feb 18 – Sun in Pisces. As the Sun enters mystical Pisces, we usually feel a distinct shift in the collective, but we already have Mercury, Saturn, the North Node of Destiny and Neptune in sensitive Pisces, so this area of the zodiac is already ripe with potential for transcendence beyond the 3D, for awakening, readiness to release what’s complete or what has been outgrown, and to hold space for the dreams to come – and maybe everything everywhere all at once (multidimensional). 

Pisces is yin energy, totally receptive with no boundaries – and with the major chaos occurring right now, the Pisces lineup feels it. Therefore (depending on your chart), you may feel exhausted or like you’re floating with no clear direction – and if that’s so, don’t try to force a solution. You may be in the midst of an unwinding, in which old ego structures are being dissolved. Or maybe you are highly sensitive and aren’t in a supportive environment at this time. Or you may need a healer or advisor to help to lift you out of a lower frequency (confusion, stuck energy). Gently honor your rhythm and allow yourself to receive the care you need. 

On the other hand, because the Pisces Sun is co-ruled by Jupiter in Gemini, you may feel hopeful and ready to grow ideas that you are incubating. You may be inspired to offer your gifts as a healing or solution for a problem, having faith in your abilities and contributions. If so, use the inspiration to work on the project, but know that we’ll have two Retrogrades (Venus and Mercury) in March, as well as two Eclipses, so it’s not the time to launch a new project just yet, as things will change. Keep working on what you’ve got and you’ll be ready when the time is right. 

Feb 20 – Mercury square Jupiter. Big dreams and big ideas. Oh boy, this is the ultimate brainstorming or networking aspect! Expansive, visionary, optimistic, amazing plans, but probably lacking some practical aspects or details. Great for creativity, but not for exchanging $$, signing contracts or making commitments. It’s a square. Something will probably be missing. But you will have so much fun creating the framework, the plan, gathering the crew – whatever you do. Enjoy – it can lead to great things!

This week’s energy is considerably softer than where we’ve been and there are several possibilities as to where you go with it. You may feel inspired and tap into the higher realms, doing inner work, creative work, spiritual work or service work. You may use this time for rest and rejuvenation, for rehab, to restore your well being and retreat from the busy world. 

Or you may be in a space of confusion, fear, anxiety, worry, depression that is serious and you need support to help you out of it. If this is you, ask for help. It is all around you… do not sit with it by yourself. 

Pisces has an underlying faith that things will work out. Sometimes the faith is strong and clear – you know it and feel it, and sometimes it’s a whisper in the back of the mind. But it’s there. 

All is in Divine Order. Keep the faith. We’re just getting started…

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.

We open on a dramatic note following the extreme weather events in Los Angeles, activated on the heels of the Mars-Pluto opposition. Mars in Cancer is a perfect illustration of two sides of the coin – protecting what you love and homes/personal lives burning down. I’m exhausted from the hypervigilance of focusing on news, alerts, texts and the mental overload from packing, evacuating and moving around in a chaotic time – and it’s not over yet. 

Our local public servants and news teams in Los Angeles are stellar – informative, hardworking and courageous, in the trenches to be of service, while tireless firefighters, police and other unsung heroes fight to save lives, homes, animals and material items for the people. I bow to them all! They are the true Mars in Cancer warriors, fighting to protect the people they serve. 🙏🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Jan 11 – The North Node in Pisces. The Nodes of Fate (or Destiny) move from Aries (North Node) and Libra (South Node) to Pisces and Virgo (South Node) until late July 2026. This is a major shift in terms of our focus as a collective.

The South Node is what you’re meant to move away from – and it’s the shadow side of a sign. With the South Node in Virgo, release your over-attachment to doing, perfectionism, overanalyzing, doing it all yourself (inability to receive), rigid routines, busyness, relentless critical Self-judgment. 

The North Node is what you want to move toward – and in Pisces it’s about being in flow, aligning with your own unique rhythm, feeling intuitively what’s right for you, going within to quiet your mind, being in nature, trusting in Divine Timing, knowing that All is in Divine Order and living from Spirit. 

Find spiritual practices that work for you and give yourself space for Being (as opposed to doing). If you are wound tightly, take baby steps to loosen up… There is no rush to get “there” – and what if there’s no such thing as doing it wrong or a making a mistake? If a plan goes awry, consider it an unintended outcome or a scenic detour… :)) Pisces is beyond the known linear mind and world, so don’t try to figure it out. You can’t. It is experiential.

Jan 12 – Mars trine Neptune. Mars in sensitive Cancer in harmony with compassionate Neptune moves most effectively via Wu Wei or effortless action, flowing around obstacles while being aligned with your environment. This is an intuitive way of operating by attuning to All That Is organically. Don’t push or stress, as that would be counterproductive. Just feel where the openings are and move through gently and deliberately. 

Jan 13 – Full Moon in Cancer @ 2:27pm PST. This Full Moon in Cancer brings up issues around emotional security, your home and personal life vs. the Sun in Capricorn, focused on ambition and professional achievement. It wants to accomplish something. A Full Moon is when something comes to light or it’s the culmination of things, so watch to see what shows up. 

Mars is conjunct the Cancer Moon that’s focused on your needs, security and feelings and can be impatient, defensive, protective or pushy, maybe setting boundaries. But Mars is still trine intuitive Neptune, softening its edges and dreaming a dream. You can put creative energy into whatever you desire.

Uranus harmonizes with the Sun and Moon, activating unexpected openings or alternatives to what you’ve done before; a future ripe with potential for creativity and imagination (Neptune), innovation (Uranus), that serves your growth and personal evolution. 

The North Node is conjoined with Neptune in Pisces inviting you to release old paradigms and open to dreams that hold infinite potential. If it’s in your consciousness, it’s meant for you. Don’t limit your Self by being realistic – be willing to transcend your old programming to open to new possibilities.

Jan 14 – Venus square Jupiter. This is about life’s pleasures, blessings, goodness, but may be just a little too much. Venus (love, pleasure, abundance) and Jupiter (more, expansion, optimism) in a square has no brakes. It can manifest as generosity, indulgence and spontaneity, but can lead to overspending, overdoing, etc. Enjoy and stay mindful.

Jan 15 – Sun opposite Mars. This is a high energy day when you or others may be competitive, driven, touchy or ripe for conflict, so easy does it. If you want to make use of the energy, channel it into a project that you can focus on to accomplish a task.

The Full Moon in Cancer asks you to nurture your Self and treat yourself with care. Spiritual practices are your support system and it’s up to you to cultivate the methods that work best for you. It may be as simple as listening to music or walking in nature. Flexibility, faith and creative solutions are the antidote whenever you feel out of control.

Find your way; that is your job as we move through various energies knowing that no matter what happens, you will land on your feet – and you will be led to places you never would have predicted. 

Don’t underestimate the revolution that’s happening within You!

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.

Are you awake yet? We are in the aftermath of the Uranus Station, which can feel like whiplash after the chaos of executive orders being imposed, then blocked – or the airplane-helicopter collision on Jan 30 (the day of the Uranus Station). Uranus is “The Great Awakener” b/c when you are hit with a curveball it wakes you up. 

Remember, the opportunity is to activate stuck energy, anywhere you feel stagnant in your life. That’s the beauty of Uranus – it can crack open fixed parts of your Self or your life that keep you limited. Set your intention to expand wherever you feel trapped or in tunnel vision and get ready, as it’s about to accelerate…

Feb 1-3. February begins with a Pisces Parade: Moon, Venus, North Node of Destiny, Neptune and Saturn in Pisces. The Moon shifts into Aries in the evening, but Venus, N.Node and Neptune travel together in Pisces for three days. The invitation is to move into your heart and your intuitive, spiritual and Higher Self to open to guidance about your future. 

There’s an abundance of compassionate, creative, spiritual energy that serves the collective Good for all who are attuned to Divine Love, service, and who hold a vision for the higher possibilities of who we can be: One Love, One World. This is a profound energy for spiritual pursuits, as you focus on your path and what’s unfolding for you. This can be fated energy that brings in people who act as catalysts to help you move forward. 

Neptune is the higher octave of Venus (what you value, how you value your Self) and you can use it by going within to transcend the matrix of limitations to experience your heart’s true desires (rather than ego desires). What is it that you really want?

The N. Node in Pisces conjunct Venus and Neptune allows for forgiveness, surrender, release of masks that you no longer need, relaxation, deep peace. Creative activities are nurturing, as you stimulate your spirit via music, art, dance, film, whatever you do, see, take part in, enjoy. 

Have reverence for this precious space and planetary support for these few days as you stay open to any messages that come through for you. Release any form of sacrifice that is unintentional; that is learned behavior that’s was once a strategy and does not support you any longer. 

Feb 3 – Mercury trine Jupiter. Mercury (communication, info) connects with Jupiter to form bonds that  expand your world and speak to Higher Truth. This indicates good news, optimism and positive thinking, smart plans that serve you well, important conversations, agreements, booking dates, creating ideas and forming alliances. Mercury in Aquarius is very logical, so even though Jupiter in Gemini can be scattered, this Mercury will focus the energy. Great day for strategizing a project, launch, trip, connecting with a group. 

Feb 4 – March 27 – Venus in Aries. This isn’t a demure, receptive Venus, but fiery and can be impulsive. It will go after what it wants, assertive, bold, passionate, spontaneous and independent. Impatient, loves the chase, direct and high energy, but can lose interest if the spark doesn’t light a fire. Warrior, advocate, maverick, pioneer. Fights for what it values. 

Venus will be crossing the World Axis (0º Aries), which indicates a new beginning – and you may be starting  something that looks really good – a project, a relationship, a partnership, a move, a purchase. With Venus in Aries, this can trigger impatience, irritability or bumps in the road (Mars rules Aries – and Mars Retrograde in Cancer is frustrated) – and no matter what you do, the path may not be totally smooth. 

You’ll have to make adjustments with Mars Retrograde and now Venus preparing to go Retrograde on March 1 and they’re both in signs that are not easy for them. Everybody is dealing with the same thing. Your job is to stretch and step forward where you feel called and trust yourself to be able to make the appropriate tweaks as needed along the way. Be fearless and tune in for guidance. It’s the heroine’s journey.

Feb 4 – Jupiter Stations Direct. Jupiter is ready to move forward and give you a boost, providing an updraft of confidence, energy and enthusiasm so you can take action and move forward. Opportunities may appear out of the blue and old projects that were stalled may now be resurrected with new life. With Mercury still trine Jupiter, communication and contacts should be abundant and networking opportunities plentiful. 

Jupiter’s vision and positivity can override a multitude of sins with its, “Yes we can!” spirit that is inspiring and effective. You should be hot to trot after being stalled behind the long Mars Retrograde in Cancer experience and welcome this fresh rush of renewed vigor, ready to move forward. The beneficial aspects of Jupiter will help to keep your spirits up as you navigate some of the challenges built in to the current landscape, but it’s all part of the trip.

Fill your heart with love and compassion, for you and yours, then extend it out into your community and the world. That’s part of the mission, too. It’s like breathing out and breathing in… just get in the game and trust The Force…

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.

The Lunar New Year is on Jan 29, the New Moon in Aquarius – a new beginning and time for intention setting. We are in a state of flux following the Sun-Pluto in Aquarius shakeup that has just begun, foisting revolutionary energies upon us, along with extreme weather patterns that prevent us from relying on our old comfort zones for respite, as we are being pushed out of the womb, being birthed into a new world.

No matter what was said about the future (dramatic changes occurring rapidly), it can still be shocking and destabilizing when it affects you personally. The goal is not to live defensively or to be on edge, but to simplify and align your life in practical ways with your truth, supported by your spiritual connection, loved ones, and your community, being of service where you can. Spiritual practices and centering are important for balance and finding your ground in order to grow forward.

Jan 25 – Mars in Cancer trine Venus. A compassionate space that honors creativity, romance, connected socializing or things that brings you pleasure. With Retrograde Mars in Cancer and Venus in Pisces, you are being asked to release that which is complete (so you don’t have to drag it along) and to choose Self-care, healing or other practices that nourish your heart and soul. Think gentle, nurturing, loving. 

Jan 26 – Mercury sextile Neptune. Creative communication, either verbal or non-verbal, via writing, speaking or prayer, intuitive connection or contemplative space to daydream or vision. The mind is in harmony with the soft, flowy nonlinear right-brain that can transcend the known and rigid boundaries of finite reality. Take a journey over the rainbow, express yourself or just allow your mind to bask in the space of infinite reality and see what happens…

Also on Jan 26 – Venus sextile Uranus. Uranus is about to turn Direct on Jan 30 and it’s asking you to review what you value, how you honor your Self, your boundaries, relationships, the roles you play, your ideas about love and $$ – whatever you’ve been reviewing over the past year pertaining to Venus. If you feel stagnant, you’re encouraged to do something different and see what, if anything, feels exciting or stimulating to try. Maybe you’ve already made a few some moves – and if not, this is the time for liberation – to take a turn towards the new!

Jan 27 – Mercury in Aquarius. Mercury (mind) is happy in progressive Aquarius, seeking original solutions and solving problems in unconventional ways. This Mercury is not seeking agreement or approval, and being ahead of it’s time, others may often not “get” it’s perspective until later. Mercury in Aquarius cares about the group or the masses, yet is detached one-on-one, not really desiring intimacy (needs space). Objective, rational and innovative, this intellectually independent smarty-pants may have ideas that fly over your head. Stay tuned, think sci-fi that becomes reality…  

Jan 29 – New Moon in Aquarius @ 4:36am PST. The New Moon is the time for new beginnings, so put your attention on whatever you want to create or increase in your life and after the Moon is New, write your intentions as if they’ve already happened. “I create…” or “I have…” with gratitude. 🙏🏼 

This is also the Lunar New Year – The Year of The Wood Snake. This carries deep significance and symbolism in the Chinese zodiac, blending the transformative (shed the skin no longer needed), introspective energy of the Snake with the growth-oriented, resilience, and forward-looking qualities of the Wood element. 

The New Moon is in Aquarius – the sign of innovative, futuristic, authenticity that is ready to blast out of old paradigms and break the rules to challenge the status quo. Aquarius is attuned to groups, organizations, humanitarian causes and the Greater Good, as well as being tech-focused to speed up processes (AI, SpaceX, biotech, cryptocurrency). Faster is better in the new world…

Other aspects in the New Moon in Aquarius color the energy of this new beginning. 

Mercury conjunct Pluto in Aquarius. Deep conversations, secrets revealed, CSI investigations, hidden info, breakthroughs, insights, intense conversations and communications, transmitting and tracking info and travel in innovative ways. All possible and probable… 

Jupiter trine the New Moon. An upbeat alignment of expansive, optimistic energy that indicates growth, opportunities and visionary ideas that can benefit you personally, as well as the greater community. Big ideas, networking, stretching, fulfilling potential as the updraft carries you beyond your habitual doubts or limitations. 

Jan 30 – Uranus Stations Direct in Taurus. Uranus has been in earthy, stable Taurus since May 2018 – and Taurus doesn’t like change unless it’s their idea. Uranus is called, “The Great Awakener” because when you get blindsided by change, it shakes you out of complacency and wakes you up! Think about life before 2018 and then up until now. Uranus Direct will go forward in Taurus until it enters Gemini in July ’25 and this will activate and accelerate changes.

The opportunity is to move stuck energy, where you are stagnant in your life. That’s the beauty of The Great Awakener – to crack open the crusty parts of Self or life that keep you in a bind. Set your intention on the New Moon to be released and to expand your world wherever necessary.

Jupiter trine the Sun. Also on Jan 30, this expansive blessing portends good luck, opportunities, expansion, optimism and big picture possibilities. Uranus Direct can open doors and Jupiter trine the Sun can give you the confidence to walk through the door and take advantage of what’s available. Again, set your intention to make the most of what’s available for you! Just say “Yes!” to your Self! If you don’t do it, who will?

What a week! There is so much potential in the midst of massive change, but don’t be distracted by the daily dramas. The chaos may be creating an opening that you can take advantage of. Wherever you see an opening that fits for you, take it! 

You have no idea where this story is going – and your job is to be who you came here to be. Do your work, whatever it is and help where you can. We need you and your beautiful Light. Trust that All is in Divine Order.

Don’t underestimate the revolution that’s happening within You.

I commit, from this day forward, to loving myself deeply, extravagantly, and treating myself with impeccable care! ~ Jan Philips

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.
