⭐️ About the May Astrology 🌟

May is where the transits of late April will be making their impact felt. If you need a recap of what to expect with this energy, be sure to check out last month’s grimoire and blogs. Uranus’ recent transit into Gemini will impact us in the Gemini areas of our lives for the next 8 years. This transit creates a harmonious energy exchange (called a trine) with Pluto’s transit into Aquarius.

May’s astrology is relatively quiet compared to the jam-packed transits that have occurred in the first quarter of this year. There are two major things happening that I’d like us to pay attention to as the month progresses. One major aspect of the month’s astrology is the dual full moons: the Super Full Moon in Scorpio opens the month on Beltane and the Full Moon in Sagittarius closes out the month.

The collective revolutionary themes we’re feeling with our relationship to power, institutions and the truth is getting a major shakeup: we’re receiving unexpected insight and intellectual breakthroughs, we’re chatting about it extensively within our communities and the impact will echo through the collective as these long term transits progress. Our collective reality is due for a shakeup in major ways. We’ve already been feeling this energy, but this is where the change in direction really starts to pick up speed and momentum.

🌕 Lunar Magic + Taurus Season ♉

Working with lunar moon energy during Taurus season is a great way to connect with your values and create stability for yourself through established rituals. Taurus, ruled by Venus is fixed earth: tenacious, stubborn and rooted in the material world. Taurus season is the time to ensure that your daily habits and rituals are aligned with what you value most. During times of rapid change, what physical comforts and rituals help you achieve your goals? May is the time where you can check in with those rituals to ensure that all your efforts are rooted in supporting your journey ahead.

Change is here, impacting us more rapidly than we might expect. Holding mental flexibility and adapting to new information will be very important in the months to come. We will be asked to review our values, personally and collectively, interrogate the information provided to us by institutions and then move forward into a new world with a fresh perspective. It’s the end of the world as we know it, and it’s right on time.

🪞Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius ♒
Another collectively impactful transit of the month is Pluto’s retrograde in Aquarius until October 16 of this year. Pluto will station retrograde in the first week of the month, giving us an opportunity to reflect on the transformation that has occurred in the Aquarius areas of our charts over the last 18 months or so.

This retrograde is turning our recent collective transformation inward for review and deep reflection. Consider how power, innovation, and community shape your path forward. Think about how these themes have been relevant for you since Pluto fully ingressed into this sign in November of 2024.

One collectively impactful transit in May is Pluto’s retrograde in Aquarius until October 16 of this year. Pluto will station retrograde in the first week of the month, giving us an opportunity to reflect on the transformation that has occurred in the Aquarius areas of our charts over the last 18 months or so.

This retrograde is turning our recent collective transformation inward for review and deep reflection. Consider how power, innovation, and community have shaped your path forward. Think about how these themes have been relevant for you since Pluto fully ingressed into this sign in November of 2024. What has changed during this time? Pluto’s transit through Aquarius will take around 18 years, so we will have plenty of time to see this transformation through, including time during the retrogrades to revisit the themes and make any adjustments that need to be made.

🗓️ Key Transit Dates:

• Pluto in Aquarius Transit Dates: November 19, 2024 – March 8, 2043
• Pluto Retrograde in 2026: May 6, 2026 – October 16, 2026

I’ve broken down themes you might be experiencing during this transit based off your rising sign.

1️⃣ – Aquarius in the First House – Self

Aquarius risings: Pluto moving into our first house brings a transformative energy to our identity, our roles within our communities and how we relate to both truth and power. As an Aquarius rising, I’ve definitely been feeling this energy: when Pluto first ingressed fully into Aquarius, I quit my corporate job to pursue self employment, with the goal of doing it completely differently. Now I’m a business witch using astrology to help entrepreneurs.

Since November of 2024 we’ve been overhauling our identities, tearing down anything that no longer serves this version of ourselves. We’ve spent the past 18 years navigating Pluto’s transit through our 12th house and we’re taking the lessons we’ve learned from that journey through the underworld of our subconscious and using it to build a new identity for ourselves.

Pluto being retrograde feels a lot like revisiting old contracts, clearing the debris and removing things that are no longer serving. Whatever construction debris has accumulated around your identity over the past 18 months is due for removal. Roll up your sleeves and get ready to get a little dirty. This retrograde asks us to pause the remodeling of our identity and clean up the workspace so the transformation can continue.

2️⃣ – Aquarius in the Second House – Resources

Capricorn risings: your second house is your house of talents, assets and resources. These are the tools you bring to the table. This is a physical house with tangible things, skills, and resources, things like that residing within it so with yours ruled by Aquarius that could give you an unconventional way of accumulating physical resources, using your talents in unusual ways, or having an unconventional skill set. Pluto transiting in this house could also create a transformation with your relationship to your talents.

This Pluto transit his is a good time for you to learn something new. This is a good time for you to overhaul your skill set. If you are making a career change, it is probably going to show up during this time. If you have been thinking about a career change, that would be the symptom. Pluto retrograding in the second house could cause you to look at your actions over the past 18 months and ask yourself if you’re still in alignment, or if you’re feeling called to finally do the weird thing.

Follow those little intuitive hits that you get, the flash of a new idea that comes out of nowhere, the insight into the collective that seems to come in an unconventional way. That’s very Aquarian energy so over the next 18 years, this is going to give you a lot of opportunity to do things differently and use your resources in a whole new way.

3️⃣ – Aquarius in the Third House – Communication

Sagittarius risings: Pluto transiting your third house could be quite exciting for you because the third house covers topics like the early communication skills that we learn during our childhood, our relationships with our siblings, the ways that we communicate and how we move around our local neighborhoods.

Pluto moving into this house transforms the way we think, it also changes how we talk to one another and how we’re communicating locally. Maybe you’re transforming the ways that you connect with your siblings, the ways that you just talk to your nearest and dearest, or even how you show up in local neighborhoods.

I could see this giving you so much opportunity to develop your speaking skills, particularly in regards to the things that you’re talking about are transforming in the Aquarian ways of revolution, community and networks. This could be a great time to start a community organization, take on a leadership or teaching role locally or to otherwise transform the ways that you communicate within your local neighborhoods. The Pluto retrograde will highlight what aspects of the past 18 months are due for review, and what has been working for you. If there’s something that’s not working, this is a great time to overhaul it.

4️⃣ – Aquarius in the Fourth House – Home

Scorpio risings: With Aquarius in the fourth house, you may have an unconventional idea of what home looks like to you or have had a pretty unique upbringing. The fourth house covers topics like your roots, your foundations, your parents or caregivers and your origin story.

With Pluto moving here, you may completely transform your values system or your sense of home. You may physically change homes here via relocating somewhere, but overall this transit will cover everything that forms the foundation of your life: values, your definition of home and security or your physical environment.

Pluto makes us look at the things that are no longer serving us, and forces us to alchemize experiences and things from our childhood  taking a look at those and bringing them to light. During this transit, but especially during the retrogrades, take a look at what was instilled into you at an early age. Do those values still resonate for you, or are they due for an overhaul? Do you need to unearth some hidden truths and alchemize past experiences so you can have more secure foundation moving forward?

5️⃣ – Aquarius in the Fifth House – Pleasure

Libra rising: the fifth house is pleasure, creativity, things that feel good, things that come from pleasure (such as children) and creative pursuits. With Pluto coming into your 5th house, you are transforming the way that you look at pleasure, overhauling your sense of creativity and pleasure, or otherwise overhauling the creative projects that you pursue. This may embark you on a huge journey of self-discovery in the themes of the house of pleasure.

This transit will demand that you channel your inner child, by following the dopamine, the joy, the serotonin,  and the fun in all areas of your life. Our inner child is the guardian of our creativity and pleasure, so making friends with her is the fastest way to unlock the fun within this transit.

During the retrograde period, take this time to evaluate your relationship with pleasure. Over the past 18 months, what transformations have you undergone in this area of your life? Is transformation beckoning? Are you having fun? Over the next 18 years of this transit, you will be asked to revisit your relationship to pleasure and creativity. You might even embark on your most transformative creative pursuits yet.

6️⃣ – Aquarius in the Sixth House – Routines

The 6th house is our work, health, routines, all the things that shape up your daily life, so during this transit I could see you completely revamping your day-to-day, your life looks like one thing now, by the end of this transit, it looks completely different. I think we naturally do this, periodically, but this energy will probably be especially intense for you.

With Pluto going retrograde, maybe you’ve already overhauled some of your routines and things, and now it’s time to evaluate the impacts or you’re fine-tuning changes that have been in the works for a little bit. Another possibility is changing your work or home if you are feeling like you need to be in a new place during this transit. Lastly, evaluating your ideas of work/life balance and how your routines shape your daily life will likely happen here.

Aquarius is unconventional, it’s innovative, it wants to do things differently, so during this transit will will probably make it impossible to avoid a big shakeup in this area of your life. If you are embracing the Aquarian energy of innovation and doing things differently, and applying that alchemizing Pluto energy to the change, you could make a significant impact.

7️⃣ – Aquarius in the Seventh House – 1:1 Relationships

Leo rising: the seventh house is your closest one-to-one partnerships. This includes the romantic partners, the business partners or other close relationships that tend to come with paperwork and legal ties. Pluto’s transit into this house will ask for you to transform your close personal relationships — you might end this transit with a completely different inner circle than the one you began, or you might completely overhaul your personal relationship dynamics.

Pluto is purifying your relationships down to the people who are going to see you for who you really are and are willing to meet you there. The retrogrades will as you to review which relationships are working and highlighting dysfunction where it exists. Aquarius in the seventh house gives an unconventional spin to your personal relationships, and Pluto’s transit will demand that they be aligned with truth, connection and revolutionary authenticity.

This transit is proving it to you, and at the other side of it, if you hold true to your boundaries, your authenticity and align with your inner truth, you’re gonna find the people who match that energy with you, who see you for who you really are, and who are willing to be in equal partnership with you.

8️⃣ – Aquarius in the Eighth House – Transformation

Cancer rising: the eighth house is sex, death, transformation, other people’s money, mental health, other people’s resources, those types of darker topics. Pluto’s at home here, because it’s ruled by Scorpio, so this transit will feel especially powerful if you have significant eighth house placements.

With this being an Aquarius, you might already have an unconventional way of handling these matters. You might see transformative topics a little bit differently than we have been conditioned to socially — we kind of have a fear of death, endings and transformation in general.

With Pluto moving home here, this could be literal, in terms of windfalls, inheritances, things like that. This could also mean transforming how you handle money, or how close partnerships in your life handle assets. If you are in a client-facing business, that’s your client’s money, so that could also mean overhauling ways that you support clients or handle their resources. During the retrograde, pay attention to what happens in these areas of your life to see what adjustments or transformations need to be had.

9️⃣ – Aquarius in the Ninth House – Philosophy

Gemini rising: the 9th house is about foreign travel, higher learning, studying philosophical, religious, and spiritual matters, basically, any type of expanded thinking you might choose for yourself. Pluto transiting this house could trigger an overhaul in your belief systems, send you down a new pathway of study, or cause you to find new places to call home.

Aquarius is about collective connection, locking in with community, and yours may be far away from where you were born. During this transit you might find yourself moving away from your homeland and establishing yourself in a new, foreign place. The retrograde gives you the opportunity to review the changes you’ve made over the past 18 months.

Transformation of philosophical ideas and higher learning, maybe diving into new spiritual studies, creating a spiritual practice, and building a spiritual community is another aspect of the transit that could be felt over the next 18 years.

1️⃣ 0️⃣ – Aquarius in the Tenth House – Public Life

Taurus rising: Are you ready to be known to be a public weirdo? This looks like getting in touch with your inner child, chasing the flashes of inspiration and innovation, being rebellious and weird. Aquarius in the tenth house is about being publicly weird, with rebellion being fun or with work being especially unconventional and tied to your authenticity.

Pluto transiting here is asking you to show up differently. If you’ve shied away from the bolder aspects of your public life, the transformation of this transit is sure to shake it out anyway. Embracing your unconventional interests and perspective is the best way to alchemize the power of this transit.

During the retrograde, review the ways that you have transformed over the past 18 months — are you headed in a more authentic direction? Does this align with where you see yourself going in the next 18 years? This is the time to make adjustments.

1️⃣ 1️⃣ – Aquarius in the Eleventh House – Community

Aries rising: Aquarius rules the 11th house, which emphasizes the collective impact of this transit for you. The eleventh house is our community, collective hope and good fortune, neighbors and social networks. This transit is sure to transform your sense of community, either through its physical makeup or your role within it.

Aquarius is the water bearer, putting an emphasis on the collective emotions of our community. Pluto’s transit here revolutionizes our minds, how we engage with one another and how we define community.

During the retrograde, reflect on the ways that your networks and groups have transformed over the past 18 months. Does your community align with your values? Are you showing up in ways that make you feel connected to a greater whole? If not, think of ways you can make the changes over the 18-year transit.

1️⃣ 2️⃣ – Aquarius in the Twelfth House – Spirit

Pisces rising: the twelfth house is the house of spirit, the subconscious, the house of self-undoing, etc. This sounds very deep and mysterious, and it is. As a person with a 12-house stellium I’m very familiar with the energy. Placements within this house provide a deep connection to the collective unconscious in a way that you can’t really define. Aquarius, is already very attuned to the collective, within the 12th house, it’s less tangible and more subconscious.

With Pluto moving here in your 12th house, you may be undergoing a spiritual transformation or spiritual awakening, feeling called to explore spiritual matters, developing intuitive abilities or maybe you’re connecting more strongly with spirit in some way.

During the retrogrades, reflect on the spiritual breakdowns or breakthroughs you’ve had over the past 18 months. Think about ways that you can support spiritual transformation in you life, trusting your connection to the collective and your intuition.

At the end of April, Uranus, the planet of disruption, revolution & innovation transits into Gemini. We felt a taste of how Uranus tends to shake things up in 2025 from July to November. This time, Uranus will remain in Gemini until May 2033. Gemini energy is social, intellectual and chatty — combined with Uranus it has the potential to facilitate sudden communication, big ideas with spectacular results, and overall weird/innovative energies.

🗓️ Key Transit Dates: Uranus in Gemini
* July 7th – November 7th, 2025
* April 25th, 2026 – August 3rd, 2032
* December 11th, 2032 – May 22nd, 2033

👽 Transit Vibes: Weird Meets Curious
This transit has all the energy of the class clowns cooking up inventive and flammable experiments in the back of the science lab. There could be some innovative breakthroughs or a laboratory fire that causes a school-wide evacuation, but inevitably, the entire community will be abuzz with chatter about the outcome.

As an outer (generational or social) planet, Uranus has a long orbit, taking about 84 years to travel through all 12 signs of the zodiac, so this energy is here to stay for quite a while. This is also creating a trine (harmonious flow of energy) to the transformative Pluto in Aquarius transit.

Collectively, we will feel intellectual curiousity and a drive to expand our beliefs based on transformative truths about power and authority that are coming to light. Personally, we will be overhauling the Aquarius houses of our charts and experiencing big new changes in how we speak, believe and communicate along the way.

📚Themes from Past Transits through Gemini
As other astrologers point out, past transits of Uranus into Gemini have corresponded with difficult moments in US history, including the Civil War and World War II.

While history rhymes in many ways, I believe Pluto’s transit into Aquarius and its out-of-bounds orbit, trining Uranus in Gemini, along with Neptune and Saturn in Aries, set the stage for something much bigger.

As a nation, we’re facing the collective karma from our immediate past, addressing the shadow inherited from our ancestors and alchemizing it into something new. This is a make or break moment for us all — the opportunity to do something different, to stand in our own authority and determine what it is we truly value.

Uranus’s transit into Gemini is the final social puzzle piece shifting into place for us to finally start the work of building something new. We might not know what it is we’re building just yet, but the work is becoming more clear every day.

♊️ Personal Impact by Gemini House
Look to the Gemini house of your natal chart to get an idea of what areas of your life will be most directly impacted by this transit over the next 8(ish) years. This house is most likely to have an unexpected shakeups, new revelations, opportunities to explore intellectual curiosity and more.

I’ve pulled together some summaries of the themes you might experience based on where Gemini lands in your houses.

I’ve pulled together some summaries of the themes you might experience based on where Gemini lands in your houses.

1️⃣ – Gemini in the First House – Self

Gemini risings: Uranus in the first house will provide ample energy and opportunity for reinventing yourself. Trying out a new look (or two), revisiting hobbies, interests or even jobs aren’t off the table here. This is a time for unexpected mental breakthroughs: maybe you discovery a key aspect of yourself that completely changes your identity, or you feel the need to revisit your core values.

Make the most of this transit by embracing intellectual curiosity, learning, and exploring new ways of self-expression. That new hobby you impulsively pick up could change your entire journey. You might not be headed in the same direction at the end of this transit, but if you embrace the weird, novel and strange, you might not have it any other way.

2️⃣ – Gemini in the Second House – Resources

Taurus risings: Uranus transiting out of the first house means that you get a break from reinventing yourself. You’ve had plenty of time to question who you are, what motivates you and what direction you’re headed in. Now, you’ll have the opportunity to apply these breakthroughs to your personal assets and resources.

During this transit you might experience unexpected disruption in the things that you value — you might have a perspective shift in what you value, you might have unexpected changes in your ability to collect resources during this time. The most supportive thing you can do is to embrace learning new skills and ways to manage your resources so you can best navigate the swift changes to come.

3️⃣ – Gemini in the Third House – Communication

Aries risings: Uranus transiting out of your second house means that you can move away from themes about your personal resources and transition into thinking and yapping. This transit will give extra emphasis on anything to do with learning and communication. Gemini is at home in the third house, making this energy especially geared towards intellectual and social matters.

Locally, you might have unexpected conversations that change your perspective. You might also run into people in serendipitous ways, creating opportunities for mental breakthroughs, new ideas or sudden changes in your local community. Take extra time to move around your local environment during this transit, you never know what might happen.

Pisces risings: Uranus transiting out of your third house moves the focus from your mind to your physical environment. During this transit you might experience unexpected changes in your home life. This could be literally, as in moving or changing homes, or more indirect, such as repairs or remodeling due to unexpected events.

5️⃣ – Gemini in the Fifth House – Pleasure
Aquarius risings: Uranus transiting out of your fourth house moves the focus away from stability and into the realm of pleasure and fun. The fifth house governs topics of creation: creative projects, passions, children and the various ways all of those things are made.

You might have some unexpected creative collaborations (artistic or natal, to whatever ends those resonate), find new ways of connecting with others, or need to spend a large amount of time exploring new ideas that light up your passions. During this transit, pay attention to the unexpected things that bring you joy.

6️⃣ – Gemini in the Sixth House – work, habits + pets

Capricorn risings: Uranus transiting out of your fifth house of pleasure means that it’s time to shake up how you move around your day to day life. You might be called to mix up your routines, try new hobbies, foster a pet (or two) or get a new job — these are all ways that you can expect the unexpected during this transit.

The chaotic energy of Uranus might be heavy contrast for those with significant Saturn placements. Look to Aquarius in your chart for more information on how to navigate the weird and wild energy of this transit.

7️⃣ – Gemini in the Seventh House – committed partnerships + 1:1 relationships

Sagittarius risings: Uranus has already shaken up your routines, so as it transits your seventh house, be on the lookout for more opportunities to step off the beaten path. You might have unexpected encounters that change everything, form a business partnership or find a committed partner during this transit.

Pay attention to the conversations that spark an intellectual connection, moments where yapping is the bridge to connection and spaces where curiosity is all you need to bring.

8️⃣ – Gemini in the Eighth House – Transformation

Scorpio risings: Uranus transiting into your eighth house turns intellectual curiosity into deep detective work. This transit lends itself to exploring new areas of study, particularly investigative, esoteric, morbid or financial.

9️⃣ – Gemini in the Ninth House – Higher Learning

Libra risings: as Uranus transits into your ninth house, you might feel compelled to share what you’ve spent your lifetime learning. This could result in pursuing higher realms of study unexpectedly, or jumping into teaching others.

1️⃣ 1️⃣ – Gemini in the Eleventh House – Community

Leo risings: Uranus transiting your eleventh house is sure to be an exciting time for community building and organizing.

Rally your community around a cause you care about, and surf the wave of drama when the occasion calls for it.

Pay attention to the people who bring “yes and…” energy to your ideas during this transit. Use collective effervescence to get the heavy lifting done.

1️⃣ 2️⃣ – Gemini in the Twelfth House – spirituality, subconscious, service

Cancer risings: Uranus transiting your twelfth house could bring some unexpected spiritual awakening and introducing new practices. This could include exploring unconventional healing modalities, trying new therapies or diving deep into a spiritual practice for the first time.

The twelfth house is about spirituality and accessing the subconscious, with Uranus here it could take shape in weird and unconventional ways. Pay attention to the practices that nurture your emotions and help to connect with and heal your inner child during this transit.

⭐️ About the April Astrology 🌟
April enters like a burst of fresh spring air after months of tough transits and a reality-shifting eclipse season. We kick off with the full moon in Libra, which is a beautiful, emotive lunation. This full moon energy highlights a focus on relationships, balance, diplomacy and all things ruled by Venus.

Take time to really celebrate how far you’ve come with this full moon — spring is finally here, Mercury is stationed direct and the collective is lit up with fiery new energy. Now is the time to finally start the things that light up our hearts and passions.

♈️ Mars in Aries + All Planets Direct = All Systems Go 🚀
Mars officially transits out of Pisces and into Aries on April 9th. This change impacts our ability to take action, pursue goals and initiate new endeavors. Mars joins a planetary pileup in its home sign, where Chiron, the sun, Saturn and Neptune are already fired up and ready to take action.

You may have been feeling increased energy to tackle new projects since the Spring Equinox on March 20. This transit adds jet fuel to your efforts, giving you more drive, initation and the ability to get it done. Take advantage of this window of opportunity where all planets will be direct until May 6. Energy will flow more easily, action will come more readily and we’re going to be fired up to make things happen.

Aspects of the Aries energy we’re feeling will continue to fuel our efforts in the years to come. Saturn and Neptune’s longer transit in Aries will give us structure and creativity when it comes to building the big, long-term dreams that are ignited for us during this time.

♉️ Sun in Taurus – Taurus Season Begins 💐
The sun’s transit into Taurus, kicking off Taurus season, will help stabilize the fire we’ve sparked from Aries season. Taurus season invites us to ground into the physical world, settle into our bodies and reconnect with our senses. Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, pleasure and value.

♊️ Uranus in Gemini Transit 💥
At the end of April, Uranus, the planet of disruption, revolution & innovation transits into Gemini. We felt a taste of how Uranus tends to shake things up in 2025 from July to November. This time, Uranus will remain in Gemini until May 2033. Gemini energy is social, intellectual and chatty — combined with Uranus it has the potential to facilitate sudden communication, big ideas with spectacular results, and overall weird/innovative energies.

Uranus has a long orbit, taking about 84 years to travel through all 12 signs of the zodiac, so we feel this energy both socially and personally. Look to the Gemini house of your natal chart to get an idea of what areas of your life will be most directly impacted by this transit over the next 8(ish) years. I’ve written a blog outlining what themes to expect based off your rising sign.

This post was originally written for Moon Craft Work‘s March 2026 Public Grimoire. 

⭐️ About the March Astrology

The astrology of 2026 has already been intense and March comes in hot with a full moon eclipse at the beginning of the month. By the end of 2026 every planet will have changed signs, some (like Uranus, Neptune & Pluto) for the first time in decades. While these energies are shifting around, it can be difficult to experience astrology as it happens. Taking time to ground, integrate and rest between big cosmic events can make navigating things easier.

🪐 Saturn + Neptune in Aries

March continues to fan the flame sparked with Neptune + Saturn’s conjunction at 0º in Aries on February 20th. This moment of stunning clarity shows us where we have been misled, disillusioned or otherwise had the rose colored glasses ripped away. With this newfound perspective, it will fan that fire of initiation in each of us to take action, create something and in some ways, prepare to go to war. Aries is concerned with topics of asserting personal power, identity, conflict and initiation. This transit highlights for each of us where we are preparing to assert our power, navigate conflict for our values and start something new.

🌓 Eclipses: Manifest or Not?

During the first half of the month, don’t stress about engaging in deep ritual or manifestation if it doesn’t feel aligned. The chaotic energies of the eclipse are moving many things behind the scenes for us. Mercury’s retrograde adds another layer of chaos during this period that can make details, travel & communication prone to logistical issues and mishaps.

Eclipses can usher in sudden endings, transformations and realizations. Manifestations that have been working for a long time can come to fruition during eclipses seasons, often in sudden and unexpected ways. Exerting extra energy during this time could yield some unexpected and chaotic outcomes.

🪄 Callback to 2025 Virgo Eclipse Cycle

This Full Moon in Virgo eclipse calls back to the partial solar eclipse in Virgo that we experienced back on September 21, 2025, helping us write the final chapters of that story. Check back through your journals, photos and calendar entries to see what was happening for you during that time. Whatever themes came up during that eclipse season could return for a final review during this portal.

Mid-month we’ll feel an expansion in emotional energy as Jupiter stations direct in Cancer. Areas where we may have felt stalled growth, stagnant or even stuck will start to feel some relief after this time. Jupiter is about expansion, spirituality, and hope. Collectively we will experience greater levels of compassion towards one another, becoming more emotionally connected, and expanding the impact of our collective healing and growth.

The new moon in Pisces could have us in our feelings even more, marking some tenderness in our emotional centers. This New Moon is better aspected for manifestation rituals and setting intentions for the seasons and year to come.

💐 Start of Aries Season + Spring Equinox + Mercury Direct

March 20 marks the start of Aries season, the end of Mercury’s retrograde and the Spring Equinox. The Spring Equinox marks the start of spring, where nature finally starts to awaken from her winter slumber. After the Spring Equinox and Mercury stations direct we’ll have greater connection to the vision and the clarity we need to take aligned action.
This is the moment where we take the clarity and direction gleaned during eclipse season and integrate it into a plan. We don’t have to tackle all of it, but we will want to get started on some aspect of it immediately.

🌕 Full Moon in Virgo Ritual

You will need:

✅Candle
✅Mirror or metal candle-safe tray
✅Salt or Black Salt
✅Writing materials and tarot/oracle deck (optional)

Eclipse energy can power sudden breakthroughs and insights, allowing you to peer through the veil of time and space. Use this time to reflect & glean hidden insights.

Place a candle on a large mirror or reflective metal tray. Circle the candle with salt, light the candle and cast your intentions over it with your hands. While the candle burns, gaze into the flames and meditate on the magic that you’ve had in the works since the last eclipse of this cycle.

Use the writing materials to write out what comes forth from the meditation. If it resonates, pull 1-3 tarot or oracle cards for additional insight. Burn safely for release or keep in sacred space for reference later.

🌑 New Moon in Pisces Ritual

Put out water and crystals during the new moon to use for the Spring Equinox bathing ritual. During the new moon in Pisces, there is a heightened emphasis on tuning into your intuition.

🌘 Spring Equinox Ritual

The equinox represents a moment of balance between light and darkness. This balance has been symbolically associated with themes of harmony, renewal and the cyclical nature of life.

You will need:

✅  Dried herb blend (try herbs tied to spring like nettle, dandelion, violets & rose petals)
✅  Bath salts
✅  Incense or smoke cleanse
✅  New Moon Water

Cleanse your bathing space & smoke cleanse the area. Surround the bath with crystals and a candle that matches your energetic intent. Steep the bag of herbs in the moon water, holding your hands over the vessel while it steeps & chanting your intention over the tea.

Add the steeped tea and bath salts to the bathwater before getting in.

As you bathe, envision the water cleansing and preparing you for the season ahead. Drain the water after leaving the bath, envision every limitation and obstacle leaving your life and leaving down the drain with the bathwater. Afterwards, return the herbs to the earth or compost.

On Monday, January 26th 2026, Neptune fully ingressed into Aries, never to retrograde back into Pisces in our lifetime. This is significant due to the roughly 14-year transit length per sign and the generational impact of Neptune transits.

On February 20th, Saturn joined Neptune in Aries, at 0º, forming a conjunction. This conjunction will heighten our insight & clarity in areas where we have been disillusioned, misled or controlled. It’s a forcible removal of the rose-colored glasses. It’s a paradigm shift: we’re never, ever going back to the way things were before.

March 20 marks the start of Aries season, the end of Mercury’s retrograde and the Spring Equinox — officially making this go time. We finally start to see an outlet for all of the fiery energy that has been building in Aries. The Spring Equinox marks the start of spring, where nature finally starts to awaken from her winter slumber. The time for rest is over, now we begin to prepare to plant seeds of intention.

After the Spring Equinox and Mercury stations direct we’ll have greater connection to the vision and the clarity we need to take aligned action. As more planets and luminaries enter the sign of Aries, it will activate more of the fiery initiation energy in our lives.

This spark of inspiration is essential for us to initiate change. This is the moment where we take the clarity and direction gleaned during eclipse season and integrate it into a plan. We don’t have to tackle all of it, but we will want to get started immediately.

Aries is the sign of beginnings, aggression, power and war. It’s tied to themes of identity, power struggles and where we take action — and also where we go to war. Neptune is the planet of magic, illusion, creativity & dreaming. In it’s home sign of Pisces, the collective delusion and illusions have been strong. Saturn is the planet of restrictions, institutions, patriarchy and order. When magic meets structure, we have the opportunity to strike a match of clarity into a flame of vision.

We all have Aries in each of our natal charts, regardless of the planetary placements. The house that these transits occur helps us identify what themes will be brought up during this transit, what impacts we will be feeling and where we can best apply the energy to navigate the shifts around us.

A follower on social asked me recently what career advice I would give based off their midheaven. Here’s a quick roundup of advice, no nuance style — just for fun.

Aries
You’re here to start shit — probably more than one thing. Get to it. You can burn down your obstacles or yourself, which is it going to be?

Taurus
It’s okay to want beauty and power. The more unapologetic about it you are, the better. The world needs both beauty and comfort, and your’re stubborn enough to make it happen.

Gemini
You’re here to yap. stop being shy about it. There will probably be many “its” for you to yap about. Your brain and mouth won’t shut up, so you might as well get paid.

Cancer
You need an emotionally supportive and nurturing environment. Start there. Think about meeting your needs before you rush off to meet someone else’s.

Leo
You’re here to shine, but be sure to have something of substance to say. People can smell inauthenticity a mile away, so go all in on you, no matter how weird it feels.

Virgo
Get paid to boss people around, but be sure to learn how to delegate and have fun. Nobody else has your standards. Embrace your exactness and get paid for it.

Libra
It’s okay to  take a risk and have a controversial take. You have to stand for something and you literally cannot please everyone — so please yourself.

Scorpio
Do the weird thing, get hella good at it and don’t feel bad about keeping your secrets close to the chest. Your obsessions are where you shine above all.

Sagittarius
If it’s not working, change your environment. Find the people who can see your big vision and help bring it to life.

Capricorn
You’re not bossy, you’re the boss. If you put in the work, you’ll get there.

Aquarius
Lean into the big brain, futuristic ideas, but don’t forget where you come from. You march to the beat of your own drum. Find the people that will happily dance along.
