Astrological Insights: January 27 - February 2, 2025
Don't Shrug Off the Shocking
Here are some insights about the opportunities and challenges that this week’s astrology may offer us collectively. If you’re looking to access personalized astrological and self-care insights to help you navigate the now, I’d love to do a Stellar Guidance Session with you.
Conversations have the potential to go quite deep this week. Use them to burrow through limitations that have hindered progress, allowing you to detect the roots of how things can really grow. Instead of accepting what you perceive on the surface, explore what resides below including submerged facts, buried motivations, and underground treasures. Discover networks that may be hidden from view but which exist in darker or concealed recesses.
The mid-week Aquarius New Moon invites us to reconsider interconnectivity and how technology can both advance and restrict progress. We may perceive bands of others with whom we share visions and values, which may inspire us to consider how we can join forces. The notion that “It takes a village” may feel quite poignant.
All the while, it’s important to be open to surprises. Rather than maintain a fixed stance, embrace an orientation of adaptability. This way if the unexpected occurs—whether in your direct sphere or the wider world—you won’t be as strikingly thrown off your center as you would otherwise.
That said, it behooves us not to shrug off the shocking. While at times in life we may need to do this to protect our nervous systems (and sense of collective sanity), it seems important to also not become numb. How to stay centered amid chaos, and fortify our resilience during periods of upheaval, seems like a striking way we can use the strong Uranian energies that are circulating over the next weeks: this thanks to Uranus stationing direct at the end of this month and also squaring the Aquarius Full Moon that occurs in mid-February. With this we may further see what it means to be innovative, revolutionary, experimental, and radical.
All the while, as January unfolds into February, Venus in Pisces unites with dreamy Neptune and the North Node. This can present us with opportunities to attune to ribbons of compassion, waves of empathy, and streams of otherworldy beauty.
Boundaries and barriers may appear to be an ever-present subject. We could find ourselves challenged if we sense that others are trying to permeate our personal space/realm; and with that, the need to assert our boundaries as a means of self-kindness may become apparent.
At the same time, we could perceive the inherent importance of releasing some of our boundaries, notably those around our heart; this can help us tap into the universal rivers of love and understanding, more sensitive than usual to both the pain and joy of others in the world, allowing that to inform and inspire how we orient in service to the higher good.
All my very best,
Stephanie
