June begins with tension as retrograde Pluto opposes Venus, giving an intensity to relations and passions. Saturn sextiles Mars, which can create a constriction to willpower. It’s time to review the past to prepare for a new phase in life.

April begins with the Sun in the sign of Aries and is moving in the sky with Chiron, Jupiter, Vesta and Mercury. The asteroid Chiron is both our wound and our gift of healing. When we heal ourself, we may guide another. Chiron has been travelling through Aries since 2018 and will continue until 2027 and it is a time when every person is doing deep healing work. The Sun travelling in the sky with Chiron definitely illuminates this wound for some, and for some of the more advanced, allows the healers to shine. 

December begins with the autumn Sun still moving in the sky with Venus and Mercury, travelling through the sign of Sagittarius while retrograde Mars is in Gemini, forming an opposition. This is a strange opposition as Mars, the planet of doing, is retrograde so has an aspect of not-doing and it’s in the bipolar sign of Gemini meaning a propensity to switch! It’s a time with many shifts and surprises occurring quickly, and also a time of karma and love as Saturn conjuncts the asteroid Valentine.

October is a transformative month with a theme of letting go of sorrow, dissolving into love, conquering the shadow self and allowing for expressions of the divine to come through as we align truth on earth. Many planets end their retrograde this month resulting in forward momentum. Mercury turns direct October 2 in Virgo, Pluto turns direct October 8 at the 26º of Capricorn and Saturn turns direct October 23 at 18º Aquarius.
