As we begin the month of May, you’re most likely feeling the intense effects of the eclipse season: tiredness, confusion, and a deep sense of wonder. April and May overlapped the first eclipse season with Mercury retrograde, bringing the need to slow down and embrace the deepest of introspections. We also must remember that we are all still acclimating to the powerful currents of Pluto’s entrance into Aquarius and Saturn’s into Pisces. March really felt like the official start of the year around the Spring Equinox and May feels like the first time we can begin to calibrate, get our bearings, and center ourselves in the resources we need to build our dreams in this strange new world we’ve found ourselves in.

Astrologically speaking, March was an unforgettable month with planets making significant moves that will have a long-term effect both personally and collectively. And in April, while we will have a fewer number of astrological novelties, the transformation continues! instead of bringing calm, April will take us on a wild ride. This is due to the arrival of the first eclipse of the year and the second Mercury retrograde of 2023. These two astrological events create an unpredictable atmosphere, so it’s best to pay attention and stay awake at the wheel in order to keep a handle on the chaos.

Saturn can be a difficult planet. Known as the authority figure in astrology, Saturn isn’t afraid to show us a little discipline whenever we start to stray. Saturn has rings, representing the cycles of life; everything that happens to us comes back as a lesson. This is why Saturn is known as the master of karma. Saturn also represents maturity, structure, restrictions, and resilience. Saturn puts us through challenges to see how we can overcome them. 

Fasten your seatbelt, as we have arrived at one of the most pivotal months of 2023! In more ways than one, the astrology of March is about cutting ties with the past so we can begin moving into the future. March is the first of some pivotal months this year. For those who have been navigating life while anticipating and hoping for change to happen, March will more than likely be the month that begins this process as the pressure in one area of your life will begin to ease up.

Don’t fret if haven’t set your goals for the coming year yet.  I myself, had a hard time motivating myself as well.  However, now that we’ve crossed over to February, we have plenty of opportunities to get your 2023 groove on! 

February begins with all planets moving direct.  After the retrograde periods of Mars and Mercury which did help re-define our directives, we are officially ready to fly forward with greater confidence on our path. February’s astrological weather offers ample opportunities for courageous connection with our dreams, authentic self-expression, and romance.
