The astrological events in January already anticipate some topics that will occupy us throughout the year. Many of the goals that were previously socially relevant have lost their luster, challenging us to redefine them and break new ground. Time will tell which new goals will establish themselves in the social context. However, personal development is everyone's responsibility.
The astrological mood in 2025 could make it necessary to examine the topic of new beginnings more closely. The focus is on motivation for one's own actions. If your life goals no longer resonate with your inner, soulful motivations, this year could be a time for significant corrections.

THE YEAR 2025In 2025, the collective field will receive some new impulses. Mars-related issues will be on our minds in the first half of the year. Mars will form exact oppositions with Pluto in January and April (see below for more). In addition, two planets will enter Mars-ruled Aries: Neptune in March and Saturn in May. It is about new beginnings, new departures, and the innocence of the beginner's mind. Saturn and Neptune will bring these issues sharply into focus. When they conjoin for the first time in July, structures that are no longer viable could come under severe pressure.
Uranus also changes signs in July and enters Gemini for the first time. The energy of renewal will then increasingly focus on communication and the media, science, and the world of ideas in general, thus influencing the quality and direction of the new beginning. We will publish more on the respective topics in the newsletter and website at the appropriate time.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIMEThe new year begins under high tension. Last November, Mars and Pluto opposed each other on the Cancer-Capricorn axis (see November 2024 newsletter). They are forming the second of three oppositions, which is exact on January 3.Retrograde Mars is in Leo, and Pluto is in Aquarius. The basic mood is quite different from that during the first opposition. Although it is again about self-assertion and power-conscious action, the focus is now on freedom and how to regain it. In these first days of the year, remarkable social developments could begin out of the blue, but fierce power struggles could also break out, demanding a great deal of attention.
On January 3, Venus enters Pisces, indicating a highly refined energy that also includes the victims and outcasts of this world. This sensitive and compassionate attitude is a crucial counterbalance to the often ruthless assertiveness of the Mars-Pluto connection.
On January 6, Mars retrogrades back into Cancer, where he will remain until mid-April. This could awaken old feelings of powerlessness. Since Mercury in Sagittarius is squaring Neptune in Pisces at the same time, some things could feel more dramatic than they actually are. Be mindful of your thoughts, and don't believe everything you are told. Mercury enters Capricorn on January 8, allowing you to take a more analytical view of events.
On January 13, the Full Moon is in Cancer, sextile Uranus in Taurus, and in a loose conjunction with Mars, which is still trine Neptune. Mars is still slightly aspected by Pluto. The Sun trines Uranus. On the 14th, Venus squares Jupiter in Gemini. On the 16th, the Sun reaches the exact opposition to Mars.
The days around this Full Moon could be stormy and emotionally challenging. We can no longer ignore the differences that arise, and it takes a lot of patience and insight to meet the different needs. Practice serenity and stay centered within yourself. Try not to shut yourself off from the challenges but engage with the emotional events to avoid becoming rigid.
On January 19, Venus conjoins Saturn in Pisces. The Sun enters Aquarius and reaches Pluto on the 21st. Now, the focus is on relationship issues. You can consider the upheavals of the last few days and their effects soberly and honestly. Seek ways of a new togetherness where fronts have hardened.
On January 23, Mercury opposes Mars and trines Uranus. Language is now becoming a powerful tool that some might use as a weapon. Creative writing can be a welcome outlet and enable creative flights of fancy. The trine of Venus and Mars on January 26significantly supports all creative activities.
On January 29, the New Moon in Aquarius trines Jupiter. Mercury has reached Aquarius the day before and is now conjunct Pluto. One day later, on January 30, Uranus ends its retrograde phase, and the trine between the Sun and Jupiter becomes exact. The quality of time brightens up noticeably and invites us to take steps into the unknown, take the world as it is here and now, and shape our lives.

THE PERSONAL QUALITY OF TIME

Short video on the importance of the 3 day after the solstice ☀️💚🙏

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIMEThe New Moon with a Solar Eclipse on October 2 shapes the first days of the month. The Sun and Moon in Libra are in close conjunction with Mercury and Lilith at the Moon's South Node and in a wide square with Mars in Cancer. Mars forms a trine with Saturn in Pisces. At the same time, Venus in Scorpio is in trine with Saturn (exactly on October 4), completing a wide grand trine with Mars and Saturn.
The quality of time speaks of new beginnings and unexpected disruptions. With a bit of tact and willingness to compromise, valuable things can be created during this time, whether through creative work or relationships. For the endeavor to succeed, we need courage, initiative, and trust. If you face disagreements, consider how much energy you want to spend on resolving the conflict. During this time, it might be more beneficial not to be held back by negativity but to work for the good energetically. Honest efforts to resolve conflicts will now receive a boost.
On October 6, the square between Mercury and Mars will be exact. Venus reaches the exact trine to Mars on October 8. At the same time, Mercury trines Jupiter and opposes Chiron. Don't just talk about your plans; take action now. Intellect and emotion go hand in hand, and what you have been planning for a long time could now actually succeed. It's a good time for all relationship matters. If someone picks a quarrel with you these days, don't let them provoke you, but don't be tempted to make a lazy compromise either.
On October 9, Jupiter begins its period of retrograde motion, which will last until the beginning of February 2025. We can deepen our experiences from the last few months and reactivate some missed opportunities during this time.
Pluto also changes direction: on October 12, it will become direct on the final degree of Capricorn. The big topic of epochal changes remains at the top of the list. Planets changing signs will always come into contact with Pluto. For example, Mercury first squares Pluto on October 13 and then moves into Scorpio a few hours later. The desire to criticize could be very pronounced. Take time before you judge, and keep your thoughts (and words) in check.
On October 14, the Sun opposes Chiron, trines Jupiter, and squares Mars. On the 15th, Venus opposes Uranus and trines Neptune. The Aries Full Moon of October 17 occurs during this charged time. The desire for intensity is now clearly apparent, and some seek fulfillment. Keep a cool head because things could get chaotic and develop faster than expected. On the day of the Full Moon, Venus enters Sagittarius, reminding us that there is more to life than instant gratification.
On October 22, Mercury trines Saturn. The Sun is in the last degree of Libra and squares Pluto in Capricorn. On the 23rd, it enters Scorpio. The quality of time indicates that power and powerlessness are two sides of the same coin. Now is the time to make decisions, even if you can hardly predict their consequences. Trust your gut feeling.
On October 28, Venus in Sagittarius forms a square with Saturn in Pisces. This calls for ethical behavior and a commitment to the greater good. Mars trines Neptune in Pisces and approaches the opposition to Pluto (exact on November 3). Mercury reaches its exact opposition to Uranus in Taurus on October 30.Events now take on an unmistakable urgency, and nervousness increasingly makes itself felt. If the supporting structures are too weak, cracks could now become visible. During this time, try to relieve the pressure on yourself and those around you as much as possible and go with the flow.
