Your Week Ahead Astrology

We are entering a period of initiation.
This is a huge month Astrologically and it begins with Mercury. Mercury, the Messenger of God and the planet of the mind and communication, enters the sign of Aries this week and heralds the upcoming Mercury Retrograde as well as upcoming Eclipse Season. Mercury will also be activating the current Venus Retrograde (read all about it on my previous blogs). Change is coming and it is inevitable. Fate is keeping her cards close to the chest, slowly revealing what will come next.  We are being initiated. We are being guided forward. Notice what area of your life is activated right now. Change is coming.

Pay close attention this week as Mercury will be bringing awareness, revelations and foresight into the spiritual lessons headed our way. We are being prepared for the change in signs of both Saturn and Neptune. Saturn will change signs from Pisces to Aries on May 24, 2025, and will stay in the sign of Aries until April 12, 2028.  Neptune will also change signs from Pisces into Aries. Neptune will be in Aries from March 30, 2025, to October 22, 2025, and then again from January 26, 2026, until March 2039. If you have placements in Cardinal Signs (Aries, Libra, Cancer and Capricorn) and Fire (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) you are going to feel this. Seeds you have been planting will finally be sprouting and giving fruit.

When the Outer Planets change signs is like the earth below our feet moves, and sleeping volcanoes awake. Changes occur at a large scale in our lives. What we have been neglecting to change, can no longer be ignored. Is like the Principal coming into the classroom checking in on our work. It’s like God knocks at our door, enters our home and asks “How are you doing? Is this working for you? I’m here to help.” And whether we like it or not, the Higher, Divine Plan begins to unfold before us. The Outer Planets are the Principals of the Larger Classroom called Life.

Neptune teaches us that there is a song that plays in the Universe. We are each a note in the song. Our song has a unique vibration and resonance, and it must be in harmony with the greater melody. The vibration of your song will be fine-tuned this year like the strings on a guitar. Your vibration is invited to shift into a resonance that vibrates in alignment with Divine Song. How do you fit in the large whole of life? What is your purpose? What gives your life meaning? What is your Soul asking you to do? Neptune is changing signs this year into the first sign of the Zodiac, somewhere in our lives, a new journey awaits each of us.

Saturn and Neptune changing signs into Aries are asking us to live an authentic life. A life led by our Soul. A life lead by the wisdom of our heart and higher intellect. We are asked to live on Earth as our Souls. While Saturn and Neptune have been in Pisces, we have been asked to check ourselves. Notice the subconscious aspects of ourselves, habits, beliefs, tendencies, behaviors that no longer serve us. We’ve been asked to look at ourselves and our lives in the mirror and examine truthfully what we see. Do you like what you see? If not, it’s time to change. In Pisces, we have faced the tendency to look for someone or something to save us from ourselves. There is no savior. That’s the teaching coming our way from Aries (the sign of independence, the sign of the warrior and the beginning point and initiation). We are the savior we seek. We are the hero and the writer of the story.

Saturn in Aries is asking us to rebuild ourselves and our lives.  Saturn rules time and reality. How is your reality? Does it work for you or not? How are you using your time on Earth? The clock is ticking, and time stops for no one. Use your time on Earth wisely. Saturn asks to confront the reality of our life. We are asked to check in on our perception of our life. What needs to change?

We are asked to turn the page and start writing a new story. That doesn’t mean you have to change your whole life or the people in it. It has never been about any of that. The problem and the solution are all within you. It’s about you. Your reaction to life. Your perception of life. Your perception of the people around you. Your perception of you. Your self-talk. Your beliefs and ideas about your life and yourself.

Take this exercise as an example: Imagine driving around the same area every day. Some days the road, the sky and what you see around you while you drive feels nice and looks good. Other days, you complain and dislike what you see. Somedays the traffic bothers you, some days it doesn’t. So, what is the difference? Does everything around you change on a regular basis? Sometimes. But for the most part, no. You change. Your perception changes. Your mood changes. Your mind fluctuates like the waves of the ocean. Your thoughts drift from one thing to another like clouds in the sky. What changes day to day is your perception. Perception is the key. You want your life to change? The first step is to change your perception. That is what Neptune and Saturn in Aries will be teaching us.

Mercury in Aries this week heralds for all of us exactly how these changes will take place. Mercury in Aries activates all our Fire and Cardinal Sign placements. Notice what placements you have in these signs in your Natal Chart. For some of us, places, people, situations and things may change. Or everything will stay the same, but our perception will change.  Mercury will be going retrograde from March 14th through April 7th and will activate all the planets in Aries and Pisces. Our mind, perception and sense of direction are changing and shifting.

Aries is the sign of leadership. We are asked to become leaders in our own lives. Aries is also the most impatient sign. We must be careful not to force change but instead allow change to occur. Notice nature. Everything in nature changes gradually. Even thunder. Although thunder seems quick, forceful and spontaneous, it isn’t. It took time to form. All things have a natural, silent rhythm and pacing. Your life is unfolding in a natural rhythm like that of your heartbeat. Slow down enough so you can listen and feel the rhythm and so you can understand the unfolding of you and the destined path of your Soul.

Your Soul is part of something greater. Each one of us is born with purpose. What is that purpose? Why are you here on Earth? What is coming next for you? What is your next chapter about? Sit with the mystery. Don’t be scared of the unknown. Sit in silence. Let the Universe speak to you. It will, if you allow it.

Mercury, the Divine Messenger, is very active this week. Listen to your intuition. Pay attention to your dreams. Listen to life itself. Life will be speaking to us this week. Pay attention.
