Cosmic Insights – January 13, 2025 January 12, 2025

By Veronica G. Hartman

The celestial week of January 13, 2025, begins with the Sun rising in honorable Capricorn illuminating an opportunity to ascend an internal mountain of awareness by spiritually retreating with renewed faith in oneself.   Saturn the CEO of Capricorn is supporting the desire to build onto a foundation of spirituality by receiving creative inspiration from a higher consciousness through Jupiter retrograde in Gemini and Mercury in Capricorn with a message that we are all One.

Meanwhile, the Moon is treading an emotional pond of water in sensitive Cancer integrating feelings of the heart with the intellect of the mind in a demonstration of caring.

Later in the afternoon, a full moon phase occurs as the Moon opposes the Sun in Capricorn illuminating the cooperation needed to balance the nurturing and responsible energy relative to emotional and financial security.  The ironic twist is that the Moon in Cancer is prepared to initiate actions of leadership while the Sun in Capricorn feels the value of contributing to society as a whole, as a message of creative inspiration flows from a higher consciousness.  

The lunar climate shifts dramatically in the early hours of January 14, as the Moon strides onto the theatrical stage of Leo with an open heart and spirit of generosity to transform current circumstances with love and caring.  The Moon’s first transformation occurs with Pluto in Aquarius as it shines an emotional light to unite humanity relative to recent catastrophic events.

Later in the afternoon, Venus in emphatic Pisces challenges Jupiter retrograde in mentally adept Gemini to utilize positive communication to achieve impossible results with the innocence of a child who believes in magic, to integrate the conscious and unconscious faculties of consciousness!  The challenge lies in realizing and accepting that the mind is the magic wand to create the nature of reality!

On the evening of January 15, the energy of the full moon illumination may become confrontational as the Moon as the Sun in Virgo opposes Mars retrograde in Cancer to take the necessary actions that the Moon in Cancer initiated on January 13.  However, Mars retrograde in Cancer is reluctant to move forward with actions based on emotions until February 23, when it goes direct.

On the morning of January 16, the Moon moves into hard-working Virgo to assist the Sun in Capricorn with the reluctance of Mars retrograde in Cancer, with workable and realistic ideas without demanding and authoritative pressure.  However, the Moon in Virgo’s first planetary encounter is with Pluto in Aquarius and has to resolve powerful objections without alienating the support of Pluto.  Once that hurdle has been overcome, there is still work to be done on January 17, when challenges from Jupiter retrograde in Gemini occur; followed by Venus, Saturn, and Neptune in Pisces relative to ideas, values, commitments, and visions.  By the time the day is over, everyone is ready for the weekend!

Cosmic Insights – January 5, 2025 January 6, 2025

By Veronica G. Hartman

The celestial week of January 6, 2025, begins with the Sun rising in traditional, steadfast Capricorn illuminating an opportunity to let go of restraints imposed by family and social standards with a sense of comfort, and without a desire to impose personal standards on others.

Saturn, the CEO of Capricorn is currently steering its energy through the oceanic waves of Pisces, encouraging the opportunity to release the burdens of the world carried on the shoulders of the mythological Atlas, and be receptive to the Higher Self to train the lower self relative to self-worth, values, and spirituality.   Saturn in Pisces then passes the torch to Jupiter retrograde in Gemini to lay its creative talent on the line with courage and the ability to communicate to a receptive audience, with a reverence for the past as a bridge to the present.

Meanwhile, the Moon is speeding through Aries on a mission to communicate emotions with a fierceness that the frustration of not being heard may propel.  However, instead of impulsively reacting and taking a step back before emotionally attaching others, it would be wise to determine whether hurt feelings are a projection of self-hurt or abandonment leading to victimization.  The catalyst to feel easily provoked may be due to Mars retrograding back into Cancer until April 19, 2025, as fire energy has been immersed into a pond of water, creating a pressure cooker environment!  Thus, the key is to refrain from taking anything personally which is perceived or projected, to or from others!

Minutes before the workday begins, the first test of emotional patience occurs when Mercury in Sagittarius challenges Neptune in Pisces to take responsible actions to expand projects begun on March 8, 2024, with beliefs and philosophies incongruent with the original vision.

Later in the evening, a first-quarter lunar phase occurs between the Moon in Aries and the Sun in Capricorn when emotional feelings override the pressure exerted by the Sun in Capricorn’s authoritative nature to take over and put an end to any resistance, tempting the impulsive nature of the Moon in Aries to exit without warning!

The lunar climate shifts subtly on the evening of January 7, as the Moon trods slowly into calm and reliable Taurus for a peaceful emotional respite of recovery.  However, the Moon’s first planetary encounter is challenging with Pluto in Aquarius as friendships seem to become fractured by erratic behaviors as a means of controlling outcomes.  

Fortunately, Venus, the ruler of Taurus, and Saturn, the daily CEO of Aquarius, can assist in mediating differences of opinion for the time being.

In the early hours of January 8, Mercury moves into authoritative Capricorn to assist the Sun in Capricorn, the Moon, and Uranus in Taurus, as well as Venus, Saturn, and Neptune in Pisces with a cool-headed approach and concrete information to resolve any business concerns.

Just before lunch, Mercury in Capricorn squares off with the North Node in Aries about taking charge with renegade actions behind the scenes without approval, which can create challenges for the outcome of new projects begun in March 2024.

Before the day ends, another challenge rears its head between the Sun in Capricorn with Chiron in Aries to overcome self-inflicted wounds of rejection or abandonment and step up with desires of empowerment and responsible actions to become the CEO of personal reality in life!

On the evening of January 9, the Moon arrives in communicative Gemini with a fun-loving attitude and impish grin to take the edge off the day, which falls flat as Mercury the supervisor of Gemini is in Capricorn and is not amused or distracted by the mischievous nature of the Moon in Gemini!

Cosmic Insights – November 4, 2024 November 4, 2024

By Veronica G. Hartman

The celestial week of November 4, 2024, begins with the Sun rising in emotionally intense Scorpio illuminating a powerful urge to create one’s vision relative to the purpose of the current new moon cycle in Scorpio, by thinking quickly and making momentary decisions with the awareness of taking responsibility for the outcomes.

Mars in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn are the co-rulers of Scorpio respectively, and have just entered into an illuminating phase concerning a foundation of emotional security and the power of career stability that may require win/win solutions to achieve the necessary balance to move forward.

Now that the powers that be each have a place at the table, Mars has moved into kingly Leo with a fired-up attitude geared toward charismatic actions to rule the day, cooperative solutions may become unlikely if the king doesn’t get his way!  While there may be blustering outbursts that get attention, it may also be the beginning of a fall from grace when Mars goes retrograde on December 6, 2024.  Whereas, powerful Pluto in authoritative Capricorn is quietly biding its time before it sweeps the chessboard with a final checkmate position with real power!

In the early hours of November 5, the Moon goes void-of-course at twenty-eight degrees in a challenging encounter with Neptune retrograde in Pisces suggesting that the quest for the expression of emotional freedom is at odds with unconscious illusions that appear to threaten that freedom.  The caveat is that the Moon will be void-of-course when the polls open for final voting in the US presidential election.  The traditional  astrological signature of the moon void of course when something starts is that “nothing comes from it.”  

However the moon was void-of-course when President Obama took the oath of office in 2008, and what did not come from it was a potential economic crisis of another great depression as the economy teetered on the edge of a catastrophic collapse, additional wars were not launched, and the Affordable Care Act was enacted providing health insurance coverage to 94% of American citizens.

Therefore, the polls open under an emotionally charged Moon in Sagittarius that may feel like there is no end in sight for the challenges the country currently faces, regardless of who becomes president.  However, the polls close with the Moon in authoritative Capricorn presupposing that emotional order is restored with individuals getting an emotional grip of leadership with an awareness of who is truly in charge at the end of the day.

As the Moon continues to travel through Capricorn a somber emotional climate permeates the atmosphere relative to an ability to demonstrate personal responsibility for behavioral actions regardless of opinions and beliefs relative to the political drama unfolding.  Saturn, the CEO of Capricorn is currently retrograde in nebulous Pisces with an opportunity to dissolve perceived limitations of separation based on illusions without a foundation of reality. 

On the afternoon of November 6, the Sun reaches the fifteenth degree of Scorpio announcing the disseminating solar phase of the current solar cycle begun at the Spring Equinox in 2024.  The disseminating phase is one of sharing the current harvest received with others so that all have the opportunity to thrive, instead of just surviving. Thus, the next forty-five days are ripe to share the bountiful harvest provided by Spirit with gratitude for the gifts received.

Shortly after sunrise on November 7, Mercury bounces into the shadow of its upcoming retrograde cycle with a preview of the coming circumstances and events that will begin to unwind on November 25 until December 15 when Mercury goes direct in Sagittarius. At this time of year, this particular Mercury retrograde may likely affect the holiday season with the theme of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (1) until December 15, when the shopping frenzy takes on a life of its own!

Shortly after sunset, the Moon shifts from responsible Capricorn into erratic Aquarius with a flash of emotional detachment of freedom as the workweek unwinds toward the weekend to recharge emotional batteries before the holiday season begins to claim weekends with celebrations, shopping, and festivities that could lead to mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion before the holidays arrive!

Cosmic Insights – December 18, 2023 December 18, 2023

By Veronica G. Hartman

The celestial week of December 18, 2023, begins with the Sun rising in cowboy Sagittarius, illuminating a huge opportunity to take the reins of life beyond the horizon to create a vision of personal evolution into concrete form.

Jupiter, the CEO of Sagittarius is slowly riding the range of the vision in earthly Taurus to overcome the separation of internal values of worthiness and vast beliefs to experience the vision in reality.  

Whereas, Venus the ruler of Taurus is along for the ride in fiercely determined Scorpio with a feeling of self-sufficiency to continue the journey.  While Mars the planetary avenger of Scorpio is riding shotgun to protect the completion of the vision with congruent actions and a sense of adventure!

Meanwhile, the Moon is floating along the oceanic waves of Pisces sailing through potential unforeseen difficulties with emotional faith, peace, and tranquility which passes all understanding.  

The Moon in Pisces also has the support of Jupiter and Uranus retrograde in Taurus about the financial values of the vision, the passionate creative energy of Venus in Scorpio, the commitment of Saturn and the ideals of Neptune in Pisces,  Mercury retrograde in Capricorn to reassess the business plan, and the authority of Pluto in Capricorn to bypass the challenging but heroic actions of Mars in Sagittarius to expand the vision!

The emotional climate shifts quickly on the afternoon of December 19, as the Moon ventures into fearless Aries to finish up last-minute preparation for the holidays.  Mars, the action action-oriented ruler of Aries is in adventuresome Sagittarius and up for the task of avoiding the boredom of waiting for Jupiter retrograde in Taurus to get moving!  Fortunately, Venus the queen of Taurus is motivated to work with the Moon in Aries, after an attitude adjustment about demonstrating patience instead of frustration with other last-minute shoppers!

In the darkness of the wee hours of December 21, the patience of Venus in Scorpio is tested as it opposes Uranus retrograde in Taurus, illuminating an opportunity to balance, negotiate, and compromise on values relative to joint financial affairs and intimate relationships.  The caveat is that both Venus in Scorpio and Uranus retrograde in Taurus are strong-willed, determined, and unlikely to budge on core values.  Thus, the key is to consider the pros and cons of both sides before taking a position that may have unintended consequences when Uranus goes direct in January 2024!

Later in the evening, the Moon joins Jupiter and Uranus retrograde in Taurus, so it may be more difficult to reach a win/win solution if a compromise has not been decided upon.  The Moon in Taurus also has the support of Mercury retrograde in Capricorn, Pluto in Capricorn, Saturn, and Neptune in Pisces, as well as Jupiter and Uranus retrograde in Taurus, so the scales may be tipped more to the Taurus values instead of the Scorpio one.  The caveat is that Venus in Scorpio may seem to acquiesce to the Taurus values to keep the peace for the time being, but will not forget nor likely forgive the retreat until the tables are turned in the future.

Before the day ends, a significant shift of energy and light occurs as the Sun enters Capricorn, announcing the Winder Solstice as it illuminates the longest day and darkest night of the solar year which began with the previous Spring Equinox.  As such, it is a reminder to turn inward to the darkness within to seek the internal candle of lights that burns brightly in gratitude for the breath of life to experience it.

Thus, it is a time of contemplative illumination about the purpose of one’s life, and the responsible authoritative action required to accomplish it as a CEO of personal reality.  On a mundane level, the intentions of the seeds planted at the recent Spring Equinox are providing a demonstration of the harvest of those intentions.

Last but not least, on a galactic level, “the Winter Solstice is the point of greatest contact with universal consciousness, where collective wisdom has been assimilated.” (1 When and where the self becomes the Higher Self leading to a fusion of the Personality and the Soul.
