The Astrology of 2023 & Beyond
Saturn will also make a major shift into Pisces from March 2023- Feb 2026. Joining up with Neptune who is there on an 15 year journey (2011-2026). Saturn will now be in the House of Spirit with its ruler and guardian. This could be a return to the ancient ways of wisdom, Cosmic Practices and Consciousness, Spiritual Law, and an understanding of our place in the Universe.
Jupiter will start the year in Aries but transition into Taurus in May to conjoin the North Node of Evolution in the final degrees before itself shifts into Aries. This is is a profound conjunction on May 30. Jupiter in Taurus is putting into practical use and action our Visions, Truths, Beliefs and Wisdom.
The Karmic Nodes of Fate will shift from Taurus & Scorpio to Aries & Libra in July and start a new 18.6 month journey of evolution for the collective and individuals. We will also experience 4 Eclipses, 4 Mercury Retrogrades, and be stepping into the year of the Water Rabbit on Jan 21. The Water Rabbit is related to Pisces, Neptune and Jupiter so this will give an extra boost to the Spiritual Awakening and Evolution.
The planet Uranus will be delivering lightning bolt calls to awaken. For those on the path our job will be to stand in our illumination and use our own path of our Soul’s Purpose to help others awaken too. Let this be a year of illumination.

The Tides Are Changing
It’s Better To Dive Deep
Because Shallow Dwellers
Will Wash Out To Sea”
This next moon cycle is a journey of going deep into our spiritual realms- faith, trust, dharma, mystery, and questing. The chaotic and liminal times of the past 3 years are now coming to a marked tidal shift from the material/mundane world to the Spiritual dimensions. These realms have always been here but the collective frequency is now delving into the them and acknowledging a higher consciousness. This is a time to stand up in our mastery, and embark on our personal and collective Dharma. Going deep will be an anchor to the Soul and also to the new constellations of community. Those who stay shallow will find these times very turbulent and treacherous. Now is the time to Fathom your Faith, return to the ancient and perennial ways, and create deep connections with your community.
The Snow Moon and Leo Full Moon start the cycle on Feb 5. This time is marked as a mystical shift on the wheel of life as it is the full moon associated with Imbolc and the half way point between Winter and Spring.
