The VIP for the first full week of the New Year is Mars retrograde. Mars Rx is a cosmic timeout 
for reassessing your actions, energy, and goals. Instead of charging ahead, it’s a time to pause, reflect, and recalibrate. Frustrations and delays highlight where you've been off track, offering a
chance to realign with purpose. Slow down, strategize, and act intentionally for lasting results.
Aquarius Season
Ah, 1969. The year when people thought we were entering the “Age of Aquarius,” and
everything suddenly turned into a utopia of peace, love, and cosmic hugs. The 5th Dimension were crooning about how “when the Moon is in the 7th house and Jupiter aligns with Mars, peace would guide the planets, and love would rule the stars.” Well, I hate to break it to you, but a quick flip through The New York Times since then tells me that peace may have missed the memo, and love? Well, it’s stuck in traffic somewhere between confusion and chaos. So, what gives?
This week’s VIP is Saturn, which is currently moving through Pisces. Saturn transits are your 
life’s personal trainer, showing up to push you toward growth and accountability. It strips away
illusions, reinforces boundaries, and demands hard work. Though it feels heavy, Saturn rewards
effort with stability and wisdom. Stay disciplined, let go of what’s failing, and build something
that lasts.
This week’s VIP is the planetoid Chiron. When Chiron turns direct in Aries, life’s unfairness gets a spotlight. 
You’ve had your retrograde pity party—now it’s time to suit up! Aries says, “Yes, life’s unfair, but whining won’t fix it. Own your pain, learn from it, and march forward like the warrior you are.” Boom!
This week’s VIP is Jupiter Rx. When Jupiter is retrograde, it's like the big guy takes a sabbatical. Instead of
handing out growth and luck like candy, he’s asking you to pump the brakes and do a deep dive on your beliefs. Time to question your life philosophy—because honestly, you might just be overdue for a personal reboot!
This week’s VIP is Mercury, who turns direct on Sunday. 
Translation: the chaos parade is coming to an end. The fog lifts, the lost emails find their way to your inbox, and the tech gremlins start packing. But remember—baby steps, okay? We’re still in the post-shadow; it's like hangover recovery. Proceed gently and mindfully!
This week’s VIP and biggest newsmaker (everyone will be talking to him) is Mars, who turns retrograde later 
this week. Mars retrograde calls us to pause and reflect on our actions, motivations, and inner frustrations. This period often brings delays, fatigue, and irritations, forcing us to confront impulsive behaviors. Rather than pushing forward, Mars Rx urges us to reassess and refine our approach, leading to more intentional actions afterward.
The month of December brings us Capricorn season, which begins on Winter Solstice (December 21) and continues until the Sun moves into Aquarius on January 19th.
Capricorn is an earth sign that is concerned with taking charge, being ambitious, striving for success, and focusing on things that matter. In other words, it’s not the time to be passive and let the world pass you by; it’s time to seize your moment and make things happen. Since Capricorn is a cardinal sign, the past no longer matters. It is what you can do today that should be your focus.
This week’s VIP is Mercury Rx, so buckle up, buttercup. Mercury retrograde is when Mercury looks like it's
moving backward, and it messes with communication, travel, and technology. Expect delays, misunderstandings, and people from the past popping up. It's a time to review and revisit, not start big projects. Stay flexible, double-check details, and keep a sense of humor.
This week’s VIP is Jupiter, king of the gods. Jupiter transits bring a sense of growth and expansion, offering 
opportunities to learn, explore, and take risks. It’s a time to embrace optimism, go beyond your comfort zone, and see the bigger picture. However, be mindful not to overdo it—balance and focus are key to truly benefiting.
This week’s VIP is Saturn. When Saturn moves through the heavens, it asks you to get real, face 
responsibilities, and build something solid. These times can feel heavy or restrictive, but they’re about growing up, becoming stronger, and laying a stable foundation. Saturn rewards patience, effort, and doing things the right way.
Picture this: you’ve just crawled through the ashes like a reborn Phoenix, and now—boom!—the archer (aka 
Sagittarius) shows up, flexes, and aims his arrow toward the stars. The vibe shift is real. Scorpio season had us all sweating bullets, facing our phobias, dysfunctions, and those oh-so-cringe things we’ve been avoiding. But Sagittarius? It’s all about looking ahead—no rear-view mirrors allowed.
Now, let’s talk mythology for a sec. Jupiter, aka the king of the gods, rules over Sagittarius. He’s the boss in the sky, but he’s got... let's call it a wardrobe malfunction. The dude couldn't keep it zipped. In his Greek persona as Zeus, he was notorious for sneaking around behind Hera’s back, having affairs left and right, and fathering kids all over the place. Now, before you start thinking this is just some ancient drama about a philandering god, hold up. Zeus wasn’t just a player; he was out sowing the seeds of potential—literally and metaphorically. His thing was about tomorrow, the next adventure, the next big creation. Sounds pretty Sagittarius, right? Always thinking ahead, rarely pausing for reality.
This week, our VIP is the Moon. The transiting Moon reflects the shifting emotional currents we collectively
experience, influencing our moods and reactions. Each sign change of the Moon encourages us to explore a unique emotional tone, whether it's impulsiveness, depth, harmony, or practicality. By aligning with these fluctuating energies, we cultivate greater emotional awareness and adaptability in our daily lives.
This week’s VIP is Mercury, the communication planet. When Mercury's is the week’s VIP, your brain gets a turbo boost! Expect a surge in chatty texts, random curiosity, and a sudden urge to organize that junk drawer. But beware—Mercury’s tricky. One moment you're a genius, the next you're tongue-tied. So, buckle up for a mental rollercoaster!
This is going to be one heck of a busy week – so be prepared.
This week’s VIP (Very Important Planet) is the Sun. The transiting Sun in astrology highlights the current 
energy and focus in your life. It shines a light on specific areas, helping you become more aware of what needs attention or growth. As it moves, the Sun influences your vitality and personal expression, making you more conscious of your identity and goals.
This week, our VIP (Very Important Planet) is Venus. However, we have to remember that the love goddess is out of her league, as she is in detriment in Scorpio. When Venus is in detriment, she’s like that friend who shows up to brunch in a mood. She’s a little out of her comfort zone, so love and relationships can get tricky. Expect some impulsive decisions, a dash of stubbornness, and maybe even a bit of drama. She’s not as smooth as usual, more like a wild card, making love life feel like an adventure you didn't sign up for—but hey, it’s never boring!
Although Mars lurks mainly behind the scenes, he is this week’s VIP. Mars is like your cosmic personal trainer —pushing you to take action, set goals, and stand up for yourself. But don’t let it turn you into a bulldozer! Balance its fiery energy with a bit of self-discipline, clear communication, and maybe a calming meditation to keep things from getting too intense.
Reptiles have always been associated with the sign of Scorpio. The symbolism of the snake shedding its skin 
reflects Scorpio's powers of transformation and its natural association with death and disintegration. And there is no better figure to represent the sign of the scorpion than the mythic Medusa.
There are various versions of Medusa’s origin story, but in all of them she is violated by the God Poseidon, and the result is a woman transformed by her outrage and bitterness. Medusa’s face is the embodiment of the horrors of life’s unfairness. If one stumbles across her and stares directly into her eyes, they become paralyzed and turn to stone.
This week, our newsmaker is the solar eclipse in Libra, and since the Lady of the Eclipse is Venus, she becomes 
our VIP. However, before you get too excited, remember that Venus is in detriment. When Venus is in detriment, it’s like trying to be the life of the gathering in shoes that pinch. Relationships might get intense, finances could play hard to get, and your sense of style might lean towards the edgy. But hey, challenges build character—and maybe a killer wardrobe too!
This week’s VIP is once again Mercury. When Mercury moves through the cosmos, it boosts communication and sharpens our minds. It's a great time for learning, negotiating, and socializing. Conversations flow easily, and problem-solving becomes quicker. Stay open to new ideas, pay attention to details, and take advantage of this period to connect with others and share your thoughts.
