The New Year is Here!

Peace everyone, Happy Spring!

(If you’re in the N Hemi like me, otherwise, Happy Autumn! My two favorite seasons!)

And Happy New Year, to Persians, Pagans, Astrologers, and anyone else who aligns!

(Welcome to my astro cliff notes and energy synopsis for the week, with suggestions for your reflection & journaling. -> Arrow means check in with your chart. • Bullet points are relevant questions, based on what's happening astrologically, that you may want to reflect on with words or images. My astrology sources for this week were Chani & Tanaaz. They're the experts, and I highly recommend you listen to their full forecasts or that of any of your other favorite astrologers.)

What's in the air for the Week of March 23?

We are finally here, the extended new year liminal period that you’ve heard me talking about, from Solstice to Equinox, has come to an end.

We’ve moved into the beginning of astrological new year, having passed into Aries season and the beginning of the Zodiac Wheel on Friday, March 20.

Things may feel like they’re really amping up this week.

This is a time to find your DISCIPLINE AMIDST THE CHAOS.

Check in with your systems and setups, get clear on what’s faulty,

what’s not working, what needs repair, overhaul, or replacement.

If you know what’s wrong with something, then you can fix it!

Remember your agency.

You *can* restructure things so you’re more set up for success, so you are in a more empowered place. This where and how change and transformation really happen.

Take stock, and take accountability for what’s not working in any area of life.

And then IMPLEMENT IMPROVEMENTS!

Tune in and find the next action you’re supposed to take, be discerning,

trust that’s the move, and do it.

Get clear on the Roles you take on, in the Collective, in the Community, and in Friendships.

Are they roles you take on willingly, or are they thrust on you, are they obligatory?

Remember, we are just a month into the massive Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries, and now we have, if I understand it correctly, ‘caught up’ with that zero degrees Aries energy.

On Sunday the 22nd, we just had the Sun & Neptune meet in Aries, and

coming up on WEDNESDAY the 25th, the Sun & Saturn meet up in Aries.

So this circles back to last month’s Saturn-Neptune conjunction,

just reminding us, we’re not going anywhere, we’re in it for the long haul.

There’s lots of fiery energy right now with many signs in Aries.

This also is the year of the Yang Fire Horse.

-> Take a look at what part of your chart contains Aries.

There will be a flurry of activity here, and hopefully a lot of clarity.

(My Aries, for example, is in the 11th H of groups, friends, networks, associations.)

Big picture -

We could be dealing with some messy energy right now (What’s new?!),

an ongoing War of Ideals.

Mercury having gone direct, on the day of the Equinox & Astro New Year, may begin to bring us some relief with miscommunications, technological difficulties, etc., lifting the fog that’s been looming, and just bringing clarity overall. You may find yourself doing better with handling your business. But keep in mind, we’re not totally in the clear, Mercury will still be in the thick of its shadow through March 28 at least, and then the tail of the shadow for another two weeks after.

With Saturn’s influence, discipline and authority figures come into focus ( - along with their lack of integrity and morality).

Saturn transits can be super transformative because they give the shape of things, they help you orient yourself so you know where to go next.

They are connected with the lay of the land, resources, rules, and consequences.

We are facing A REALITY CHECK FOR GREATER LIBERATION.

This is a time to commit to long-term growth, courage, and integrity!

• What am I feeling called to commit to over the next 2 years??

• Where do I need more discipline, structure, dedication?

• What can I do to move forward in spite of the chaos?

Whatever you're facing - whether it's fascism or personal challenges -

Do not accept defeat! Steady yourself, stay the course, there’s always more to do.

-> Orient to where Saturn is in your chart.

This - especially over the next two years - is where we can shape reality.

Saturn makes things real.

Saturn helps us KNOW, FEEL, SEE the DIFFERENCE.

Wherever Saturn lies - this is the area of life where we need to tend to responsibilities & due diligence.

(My Saturn, for example, is in Cancer in the 2nd H - How and where I create boundaries.)

BE PATIENT.

Let yourself relish in delayed gratification rather than fight against it.

• What can I do, what can we do, little by little, that long-term is going to add up to something really & truly satisfying?

This week, the Sun & Saturn both kiss Pluto, who is newly arrived in Aquarius.

This gives us access to a lot of power.

Commitments to long-term success, personally, and collectively, will lead to deep, cathartic transformations.

Notice. Witness. What’s faulty? What’s flowing?

Don’t rush. You don’t have to do anything yet, unless / until the ‘what’ is obvious.

• What work am I saying yes to?

• Am I saying it consciously, or unconsciously?

• Is it actually a good role for me?

• Will it be beneficial long-term?

• What commitments feel like a FUCK YES? FOLLOW UP with those.

Celebrate each small step, each small accomplishment along the way.

What they’ll add up to is huge.

PEOPLE POWER - UNITE, & IGNITE.

Remember that individual actions taken in unison can have really big impact.

No one’s coming to save us, but -

we could save ourselves and each other.

1 x 100 x a million, a bunch of small individual actions can really add up.

THURSDAY the 26th - Venus, planet of women, femmes, queers, conjuncts Chiron, the wound, the wounded healer.

This brings the energy of a wound in relationship,

but it brings the problem and the medicine.

Venus in Aries = NON-CONFORMITY (style, gender, how we create).

This is likely to show up in the Collective.

• What are we to learn from elder femmes or queers who’ve blazed these paths ahead of us?

• What new trails are we - and our children - blazing?

• What are you risking - in relationship, creativity, self-expression?

• How are you liberating yourself?

• What are you liberating yourself from?

THERE’S MEDICINE IN NON-CONFORMITY & BEING TRUE TO YOURSELF!

Venus is at the end of a sign - Aries - that it’s challenged by, but it’s here to learn something from Chiron, & thankfully, next week it moves into Taurus which will be grounding & nurturing as we come out of all this.

Also to keep in mind -

We’re moving towards the end of Uranus‘s time in Taurus where it’s been since 2018.

In April, it moves into Gemini.

It’s a good time to be thinking about -

• What has changed in your life over the last seven or eight years?

• Has it lead you in the direction of being more authentically your true self?

• How can you let your authenticity shine through that last little bit of residue from the old way?

My Distillation:

HOLD STEADY. GET CLEAR ON YOUR ROLES.

REMEMBER YOUR AGENCY. BE COURAGEOUS.

RECALIBRATE YOUR SYSTEMS.

BE PATIENT. PLAY THE LONG GAME.

WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING OVER THE NEXT 2 YEARS?

BE DISCERNING & DILIGENT.

ORIENT YOURSELF TO COMMUNITY.

IMAGINE IF MILLIONS OF US LEAN INTO NON-CONFORMITY!

WHAT ARE YOU LIBERATING YOURSELF FROM?
