Summer Solstice 2025
Summer Solstice 2025 Greetings!
This
Summer Solstice 2025 Newsletter begins with the Summer
Solstice Predictions in tan. The
predictions are followed by a Narrative & Photos of My Trip
to Switzerland & Italy in blue (scroll
down). Personal Predictions for Every
Sign are next (scroll down even
farther). And Dates to Watch are next
in green (scroll to the end of this email). Enjoy!

The Summer Solstice arrives on Friday, June 20, 2025,
and marks the longest day of the year. Enjoy the glowing light of the Sun in
the days leading up to the Summer Solstice. The Solstice Sun will energize your
affirmations, prayers, and meditations. Use your quiet moments to focus on the
positive outcomes you would like to create. You may make much spiritual,
mental, emotional, and material progress at this time. Your prayers are
powerful, so remember to pray for the highest good for yourselves and our
world!
Surprises
The summer season portends surprise changes at
lightening-speed with energetic Jupiter newly in Cancer aligning with the
Summer Solstice Sun in Cancer. These Cancer planets will form a potent
alignment with disciplined Saturn and spiritual Neptune in the fire sign
of Aries. The Summer Solstice Sun also will align in a karmic pattern with
aggressive Mars and Pluto, which will bring subterranean energies to the
surface. We already are seeing the manifestation of this celestial energy (As
Above, So Below) through escalating tensions and conflagrations
nationally and internationally. That which has been hidden
certainly will be exposed to eventually be healed. We are now
witnessing the breakdown before the rebuilding.
Electrically-charged Uranus will enter Gemini for 7 years on July 7, 2025-for
the first time since 1949. Uranus in Gemini will speed up change and innovation
in your personal life and in the world. It will add fuel to the
fire with more dynamic and fiery communications-and
confrontations between opposing forces. The fiery energy will burn up old
patterns and structures, and ignite sparks of new thoughts and ideas.
People will rapidly change sides and alignments. Fortunate Jupiter in Cancer,
however, will exert a protective
influence. So despite upheavals, beneficial results will
eventually emerge from the disruptions we experience. Try to imagine what good
can emerge from negative situations. This will help speed the collective
healing.
Reversals of Prevailing Trends
The collective demand for change is going to be strong
in the coming year. Yet, try not to throw out the baby with the bath
water. This means that it will be important to build upon that which
works from the past rather than scrapping everything and starting at
"ground zero." Try to have a vision of where you'd like to go as you
undergo the process of change.
Planetary patterns also portend abrupt reversals and changes in direction
during the summer season. Tensions that have been under the surface are coming
to the fore. There will be potential losses, with marked gains to come later.
In the yin-yang energetic balance of the universe, the current unstable
atmosphere of chaos will stimulate greater forces of positive change
under the surface. More favorable energies will rise up when collective
positive thoughts and prayers become strong enough. And with fortunate
Jupiter in Cancer, this is a time when people will be attuned to supporting
each other as a counterbalance to the instability in the world.
Use your positive thoughts to imagine the world you would
like to create. The old reliance on governmental services will give way to an
era in which individuals and smaller groups of citizens will be empowered to
advance society in more conscious and compassionate ways. The awareness of this
need is already starting to happen.
Leaders Fall from Grace, Underdogs Have Small Victories
We will likely see leaders in power falling from grace during the summer
season. Underdogs will slowly emerge. Global priorities will evolve. The
emphasis on greed and personal financial success for a few will start to shift
to fairness and prosperity for the many.
What is true?
However, what and whom to believe, trust, and follow will pervade the
public consciousness in the summer season. Questions will arise as to what is
actually truth? Information will be heavily slanted toward one polarity or
another-with the truth somewhere in the middle. Eventually, our
minds will become stronger as we learn to synthesize opposing viewpoints and
use our intuition to navigate the flood of incoming information. This
will open the way for new, flexible, and creative thinking.
Ultimately, people will depend less upon external leaders to
"save" them. Each individual will become a stronger barometer of their own
internal integrity. As we become more resourceful and creative as
individuals, we will come together in local communities to create the services
we need, whether it be growing food, providing healing, creating local
micro-currencies, or generating energy. It is a law of physics that out of the
greatest chaos emerges the greatest order.
Disruptions to Normal Energy Patterns
In the interim, however, ongoing planetary energies may
disrupt financial markets, power grids, supply chains, food and water
supplies, and the overall sense of security.
It is possible to react with fear and anger-or
with love, compassion, and kindness. Your positive thoughts send ripples
of harmonious, coherent waves of energy that raise the vibration of the
environment around you-and eventually the whole world.
Positive Thinking
The most effective strategy in incoherent situations is
to send coherent thoughts of love and light-especially to
war-torn areas. Know that the mass karma of the world created these
disruptions and our collective positive thoughts can bring greater
calm.
Another strategy is to look at any disruptions from a
different perspective, either through the eyes of another person whom you
respect, or from a distance. Or think about how you will see a current
situation in 10 or 20 years from now. Focus on the positive contribution
you can make and what you have to look forward to. Periodically sit quietly and
experience the beauty of your being-ness and your soul!
Ultimately, without friction, there cannot be new growth. So we have a lot of
positive growth to look forward to, engendered by celestial energies that
are bringing opposing forces to the fore in friction-producing ways.
This friction will raise us all to a higher state of collective
consciousness. Revel in the transformations you go through under the
potent celestial energies of the summer season and stay tuned!
Many
Blessings for the Summer Season!

SWITZERLAND
& ITALY Re-cap
Thank you to all of you who asked about my
month-long journey to Switzerland & Italy in April & May. After
reading the Summer Astrological Predictions, maybe take a deep breath. And step
back from the energy you may have experienced if you
were thinking about events in the outer world. The following is about
an inner journey interwoven with my recent personal experiences in Europe.
I arrived in Switzerland just as the winter snow was melting
and the fragrance of the blooming spring flowers pervaded the enchanting
silence of the Swiss Alps.

Swiss
Alps in the Spring
The loudest sounds I heard as I immersed myself in a 10-day
silent meditation retreat were the tinkling of cowbells, the clucking of
hens, and the gentle Alpine winds. The absence of any outer distractions
made me even more ready to sink deeply into a tranquil silence within. The
outer world gradually receded and a peaceful and rich inner world gently
emerged.
My Swiss meditation retreat drew to a close 10 peaceful
days later, on Easter Monday, just minutes after Pope Francis left
this Earth. The news quickly jolted me back to earthly reality. The Pope's
passing the day I was going to Italy symbolically screamed: "Retreat Over,
Reality Resumes." What an historic moment to be visiting Italy!
From a small Swiss mountain village, I took a
picturesque train ride through the snow-covered Alps to Italy to
visit old friends with whom I have remained closely in touch since I lived in
Florence, Italy, 24 years ago.
Once in Italy, I
discovered that the altars of many Italian churches were draped with white
cloth to commemorate the passing of Papa Francesco (Pope
Francis).



Tributes to Pope Francis in Churches Around Italy
There was a sense of anticipation in the air about
who would be chosen to be the next Pope at the upcoming conclave.
Seventeen days later, when I departed Italy for California, white smoke
billowed from the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, signaling that the first
American Pope had been chosen.

The
Vatican
There
is nothing like Tuscany in the spring....endlessly green rolling hills, budding
olive trees, blue skies punctuated by sudden rain showers, and the fragrance of
freshly budding flowers...and of course, Renaissance art & architecture...



Rolling Hills of Tuscany; Poppies Blooming in Spoleto; Assisi



Cathedrals in
Citta di Castello; Spoleto; Assisi


...and close-up of the Duomo of Florence & from a distance...
Another highlight was riding with friends through the streets
of Bologna on electric bikes. I was amazed by how quickly the bikes
went-without even pedaling! (Leave it to the Italians, where even old ladies
speed like race car drivers!)

Riding
e-bikes with friends in Bologna (I'm 3rd in the line of 6)
Bologna (pop. 400,000) is about 50 miles north of Florence
and is home to the oldest university in continuous operation in the
world. The University of Bologna was founded in 1088. Aside from being an ancient
university town, Bologna is lined with more than 35 miles of cobblestone
sidewalks under 11th-century porticos that define the city, along with medieval
towers and an ornate hilltop church that houses an image of the Virgin
Mary, said to be painted by Luke the Evangelist.
After the invigorating bike ride through the city
center, we walked up 660 steps to the Sanctuary of the Blessed
Virgin of Luke the Evangelist at the top of a hill overlooking a beautiful
panorama of Bologna.

And after enjoying pizza at the Sanctuary's summit, we
descended back down the more than 660 steps for beautiful views of the city at
night. (Lest anyone who knows me think that I ate pizza, I assure you that I
had a salad, but it came on top of a pizza crust. And the pizza crust was among
the best I have ever tasted!)
The rest of the journey consisted of visiting many spiritual
pilgrimage places-including Assisi-where we found the incorrupt remains of St.
Clare and the tomb of St. Francis.

body of Saint Claire of Assisi; Tomb of Saint Francis; Cross from which Jesus
Christ spoke to Saint Francis
We also visited the incorrupt remains of Saint Rita of Cascia
in the province of Perugia in central Italy. Saint Rita of Cascia is
often depicted with roses because on her death bed in January of 1457, she
requested a rose from the garden of her former home. Even though it was January,
a time when roses normally do not bloom, a cousin found a single rose in bloom,
which led to her being the patron saint of impossible causes. Many pray
for her intercession in otherwise hopeless cases. So, if you find yourself in
an impossible situation, pray to Santa Rita!

Next, we spontaneously visited the village of Citerna (pop:
3,332) in the province of Perugia. It is a lazy little town where most of the
residents seemed to be in the village square on the morning we arrived, talking
about the Pope and drinking coffee.
We stumbled upon what we thought was a humble village church called the Chiesa
di San Francesco. Once inside, we were greeted by an older gentleman who
said he just "happened" to be in the church and also just "happened" to
have the key to a room where a statue of "Madonna with Child" by
the famous Renaissance artist Donatello was stored. (see photo below)
The older gentleman man excitedly put a big key into what looked like a
600-year-old lock. He turned on the lights to illumine the 600-year-old
masterpiece (sculpted between 1415-1420) and beamed adoringly at the depiction
of the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus. His expression and that of the
Madonna were so lovely that it brought tears to my eyes. This was one of the
many synchronicities-and miracles-we experienced on our journey through
Tuscany, Umbria, and Perugia.

Donatello's
Sculpture of the Madonna, Church of Saint Francis, Citerna, Italy
In another example, we visited Collevalenza,
a pilgrimage place in the province of Perugia, where water
miraculously sprang from the earth. The water is associated with many
miraculous healings. We were fortunate to be at Collevalenza on one of the few
days where you can immerse yourself in the holy water. We drank of the healing
waters of Collevalenza, prayed to be receptive to its healing powers, and
immersed ourselves in the holy waters. I felt refreshed and purified, as if
something I no longer needed was left behind.
I learned after I returned home that the golden mean (the phi
ratio of 1.618), also called the divine proportion, defines the
proportions of everything from the human body to a flower to a seashell to a
leaf. It also is found in the proportions of Renaissance art, paintings,
sculptures, and architecture. Because the optic nerve runs throughout the
entire brain, viewing these objects of art also coordinates the brain's
hemispheres and brings you into a sense of balance, peace and harmony.
According to one study, Renaissance art harmonizes brain functions, causes
deeper breathing, quiets the mind, and enables the viewer to feel closer to the
Divine. No wonder I craved the experience of meditating in churches
encircled by Renaissance art, surrounded by rolling hills with nature
blossoming, and immersed in sacred healing waters! Perhaps these images
can be an antidote to some of the less savory events in our world that are
disrupting collective consciousness at this time.
As I departed for California in May, and a new Pope was
chosen, it felt like a fitting finish to yet another chapter in our
ever-changing world, where there can be so much hope and promise when
we connect with the many miracles of our daily lives as well
as the love and compassion that ultimately define our world!
Many Blessings for love & light,
Laurie

Please Read on for Your Personal Astrological Predictions for
Every Sign!
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
With disciplined Saturn in Aries until April 2028, this is a time to streamline
an area of your life where there is excess, where you may have gone "over the
top." You will enjoy life's journey with less mental, emotional,
and physical baggage. Additionally, an alignment of structured Saturn with
spiritual Neptune until February 2026 will bring great rewards for artistic
endeavors, chartiable works, or spiritual practice. This energy could make you
feel a little spacey or even prompt you to move toward escapaism if your energy
is not directed toward a spiritually transcendent, artistic, or imaginal
activity. Watch for sudden outbursts of anger with no apparent cause from
yourself or others. Try to assess whether you are reacting to the present
moment-or is something bothering you from your past? Your planetary ruler,
Mars, conjoinsthe South Node of the Moon on July 21, 2025. This is a time to
avoid hostilities. It is better to practice diplomacy instead of rushing into
confrontations during the summer season. You will feel ready to tackle
conflictual situations once again as Mars moves into Scorpio, from September 22
to November 4, 2025.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
You will feel fortified by quality time with loved ones when loving Venus,
your planetary ruler, is in Taurus from June 5 to July 4, 2025. This is a
highly creative and artistic time when you will feel greater appreciation for
the finer luxuries of life. Choose wisely if you decide to make a major
purchase during this period. Mercury retrograde from July 18 to August 11,
2025, will lead you to reconsider an impulsive decision. The decision may be
between luxury and practicality. The ultimate decision depends on your
priorities at this time. Energetic Mars in the compatible earth sign of Virgo
from June 17 to August 6, 2025, may prompt you to land on the side of that
which is most utilitarian. However, when Mars in Virgo conjoins the South of
the Moon on July 21, 2025, try to avoid excessive or risky expenditures or
investments because you may be prone to experience loss. Other than that,
you will experience more predictability in your life as innovative, but
disruptive, Uranus leaves Taurus on July 7, 2025. Uranus has been promoting
modifications to your life since it entered Taurus in 2018. You will get a
respite from perhaps unexpected changes while Uranus is in Gemini from July 7
to November 7, 2025. And after a brief retrograde back into Taurus from
November 7, 2025 to April 25, 2026, Uranus will be in Gemini for the next 7
years, until 2033.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 21)
Innovative Uranus enters Gemini for a 7-year stint beginning on July 7,
2025. This is the first time Uranus has been in Gemini since 1949. As a result
of this astrological transition, you may feel like an air traffic controller in
the midst of a great deal of rapid telecommunications and technological
advancements flying by you. Try to step back and relax your mind as you watch
the volley of informational packets pass by. Use your judgment to discern when
to be proactive and intervene. You will have a moment to catch your breath when
Uranus retrogrades back into Taurus from November 7, 2025 to April 25, 2026.
Plan to complete unfinished business during this relatively slower paced
period. Communicative Mercury, your planetary ruler, also turns retrograde from
July 18 to August 11, 2025. This is a time rest, relax, renew, and review. If
you find yourself in a struggle over who is right in a particular situation,
try to conclude that both parties have their merits. The art of compromise will
work better than winning or losing at this time. More concrete conclusions can
be reached after the retrograde completes in mid-August of 2025. A Full
Moon Total Lunar Eclipse on September 7, 2025, and a New Moon Partial Solar
Eclipse on September 21, 2025, will cause some "creative tension" in your life.
Try to take time to meditate and pray to gain greatest clarity.
CANCER (June 22 - July 22)
You will experience a new beginning in some phase of your life at the New Moon
in Cancer on June 25, 2025, just 4 days after the Summer Solstice. Focus upon
the new energies you would like to bring into your life during the days leading
up to the New Moon. Due to your birthday cycle beginning during the first month
of the summer season, you will have fresh options and opportunities to
engage in new relationships, novel business pursuits, and original creative
endeavors. With lucky Jupiter in Cancer from June 9, 2025 to July 29, 2026,
this is a fortuitous time for all new ventures that make your heart sing! With
innovative Uranus in Gemini for 7 years, beginning on July 7, 2025, for the
first time since 1949, you will feel promptings to make a change from the level
of your soul. You may have dreamt of expressing a talent you have developed in
a previous incarnation that you are now ready to express. Or you may encounter
a new person you need to connect with at this time in your life. Pay attention
to impulses emerging from your subconscious mind at this time. A Full Moon
Total Lunar Eclipse on September 7, 2025, and a New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse
on September 21, 2025, will stir up an issue that you last experienced in 2006.
Pay attention to the messages the universe is sending you!
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
The Summer Solstice on June 20, 2025, arrives when the Sun is at its zenith in
the Northern Hemisphere. This high point of light signals the time when you can
symbolically shine with the light of the Sun, your planetary ruler! Your
birthday during the summer season represents the moment when the Sun returns to
the place it was when you were born, giving you a fresh supply of solar energy
to enliven your activities and shed light on your path during your new birthday
year. This year, the Sun at the Summer Solstice aligns with fortunate Jupiter,
disciplined Saturn, and spiritual Neptune. This will create a fertile
atmosphere for expressing unexpressed parts of yourself-either through dress,
speech, or an artistic or dramatic performance. Jupiter in Cancer
from June 9, 2025 to June 29, 2026 will help you experience greater
comfort and ease in expressing your inner nature. Try to balance outer
activities and expressions with inner reflections so that you may get to know
the richness inside of you before you express it outwardly. Inwardly, the Full
Moon Total Lunar Eclipse on September 7, 2025, and the New Moon Partial Solar
Eclipse on September 21, 2025, will support your focus on domestic comforts and
security. Mercury in Leo from June 26 to September 2, 2025, will help you
communicate more clearly and precisely. Use the time when Mercury is retrograde
in Leo from July 17-August 11, 2025, to reconsider past priorities..
Disciplined Saturn in the compatible fire sign of Aries from May 24, 2025 to
April 2028 will further help you set new priorities.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Energetic Mars in Virgo from June 17 to August 6, 2025, will help you focus in
on and streamline an area of your life that you may have ignored. This will be
a good time to go through closets and drawers to find objects you might have
misplaced, to let go of things you no longer need, and to reorganize what
remains. This activity will be especially gratifying during Mercury Retrograde
from July 17 to August 11, 2025. A Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo and
Pisces on September 7, 2025, will help you finally let go of an attitude or
mindset that hasn't served you in the past. And a New Moon Partial Solar
Eclipse on September 21, 2025, will help you embrace a new pattern or routine
that will give you a new perspective. An issue you last faced in 2006 will
arise for resolution at this time. By resolving this issue, you will feel
liberated from something that has weighed on your mind. This likely has to do
with something you were worrying about that no longer needs your attention.
Everything will work out in a way that is best for the greatest number of
people with profound Pluto in the egalitarian sign of Aquarius.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 23)
Lucky Jupiter in Cancer from June 9, 2025 to July 29, 2026, will strengthen
your ties to family members and friends from the past. You may be feeling a bit
more nostalgic than normal under this planetary influence. It is a good time to
express appreciation to loved ones. Mercury Retrograde from July 17 to
August 11, 2025, also will help you connect with people from your past. Much
creativity and creative thinking can come through these meetings. They will be
very healing for you. Energetic Mars in Libra from August 6 to September 22,
2025, will give you the energy to assert yourself in a situation where you have
remained silent. You will find greater assets coming your way as a result of
standing up on behalf of yourself. A Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse on
September 7, 2025, and a New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse on September 21, 2025,
could stir up subconscious memories. Keep a journal or other writing
instruments handy so you may "write out" any negative energy that may arise.
Disciplined Saturn in your opposing sign of Aries from May 24 to September 1,
2025, will help you get clarity on a confusing relationship. You may doubt a
conclusion you have reached while Saturn retrogrades back into confusing Pisces
from September 1 to February 13, 2026. But you will regain relationship clarity
when Saturn re-enters Aries from February 13, 2026, to April 2028.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 21)
Transformative Pluto, your planetary ruler, aligns with fortunate Jupiter on
June 24, 2025, just 4 days after the Summer Solstice. This is a fortuitous time
to initiate a new project that will help improve your health or alleviate
inefficiencies or annoying situations, even small ones that detract from the
positive quality of your life. Pluto then aligns with loving Venus on July 7,
2025, bringing greater peace and harmony to an important relationship. It is a
good time to reach out to someone you care about. Pluto's alignment opposite
the Sun on July 24, 2025, could unearth hidden information. This new information
could launch you into a mindset that could lead to a power struggle with
someone who has more authority than you do. Weigh your options
carefully. Another alignment of Pluto with communicative Mercury on
September 19, with Venus on September 20, and with the Sun on September 23,
2025, should smooth out any ruffled feathers. Energetic Mars in Scorpio from
September 22 to November 4, 2025, also will assist your forward progress.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Fortunate Jupiter, your planetary ruler, aligns with disciplined Saturn on June
15, 2025, making this a good time to get organized and let go of possessions or
obligations you no longer need. You are in a fortunate period for restructuring
your life in a way that will give you more freedom and free time to do the
things you love. Freedom is important to you. And free time equals more time to
experiment and experience the freedom you love so much. You will feel naturally
lucky while Jupiter traverses the nurturing sign of Cancer from June 9, 2025 to
June 29, 2026. This will be an excellent time for a family visit or to make
improvements to your home. You will derive great comfort from spending time in
a domestic setting with loved ones during this period. Spiritual practice also
will be fortunate for you when Jupiter aligns with spiritual Neptune on June
19, 2025. A Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse on September 7, 2025, and a New
Moon Partial Solar Eclipse on September 21, 2025, will enable you to question
an aspect of your overall life direction so you may course-correct in an area
where you have become misaligned with your core values.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Karmic Saturn, your planetary ruler, aligns with lucky Jupiter on June 15,
2025, making this a fortunate time to implement a strategic plan you have been
considering for at least one year. As structured Saturn aligns with spiritual
Neptune until February 2026, you also will derive great benefit from
disciplined spiritual practice. Saturn is in the dynamic fire sign of Aries
from May 24, 2025 to September 1, 2025, and again from February 13, 2026 to
April 12, 2028. This celestial alignment will help you assert yourself in new
and dynamic ways. You will feel more ready than ever to undertake a leadership
position under the influence of Saturn in Aries during the above dates. Saturn
in Pisces from September 1, 2025 to February 13, 2026, may bring an element of
unclarity into your life, but all will be resolved after February 13, 2026,
when Saturn enters Aries, where it will be for more than 2 more years . A
Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse on September 7, 2025, and a New Moon Partial
Solar Eclipse on September 21, 2025, will enable you to engage in a new form of
creativity. Remain aware of opportunities to express yourself in new ways
during the fall season.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
Innovative Uranus, your planetary ruler, leaves the sedentary sign of Taurus
for the wing-footed sign of Gemini on July 7, 2025. This planetary shift will
represent an opportunity for more rapid movement and increased flexibility in
your daily life. You will experience greater ease in travel and communication
as well. If you have been contemplating changes, this is the time to implement
them! Uranus will retrograde into Taurus from September 1, 2025 to April 25,
2026. During this 8-month interlude, your life will likely return to a slower
cadence. Prepare for new ideas to quickly fall into place beginning later next
year while your planetary ruler, Uranus, travels through the compatible air
sign of Gemini from April 25, 2026 to May 2033! Communicative Mercury in
your opposite sign of Leo from June 26 to September 2, 2025, will also help you
see a concept from an opposing point of view. Try to implement the insights you
gain under this celestial influence. The people with whom you are in
relationship will play an important role in helping you reconsider the past
during this time. You are generally quite open-minded. Disciplined
Saturn in the fire sign of Aries from May 24, 2025 to April 12, 2028 will help
you refine your ideas. This astrological transit will help you narrow your
focus to the ideas and goals that are important to you.
PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
This is a time of endings and new beginnings as karmic Saturn and Neptune, your
planetary ruler, transition out of Pisces, the last sign of the Zodiac, into
Aries, the 1st sign of the Zodiac. Neptune has been in Pisces since 2012.
Neptune first entered fiery Aries on March 30, 2025, where it will remain
until October 22, 2025. You will feel a taste of a more lyrical past when
Neptune briefly retrogrades back into Pisces from October 22, 2025 to January
26, 2026. Then, Neptune will re-enter fiery Aries until 2039. Neptune in Aries
may prompt you to glorify or overly-idealize aggressive assertions of power, or
even military activities. Yet, Saturn and Neptune in Aries bring greater
results when directed toward transcendent spiritual activities. Neptune last
was in Aries from 1861 to 1875, during the American Civil War. Neptune in Aries
can manifest in one of two ways. It can exult in aggressive expressions or it
can transcend and transmute aggressive actions into high-minded or spiritual
efforts for peace. Try to pursue the higher path toward peace at this time.
With karmic Saturn in Aries from 2025 to 2028, the potential for conflagrations
runs high. A Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse on September 7, 2025, and a New
Moon Partial Solar Eclipse on September 21, 2025, will help you see a situation
from an opposing point of view. Stay open to seeing circumstances from another
person's perspective.
