We are holding our All Member Convention at ISD Oneonta on March 2nd, at 12 noon at the ISD Lotus Center. At this annual meeting, we review our accomplishments from the previous Fiscal year, and make goals for next year. In our Annual Report, we review reports from all of our committees, vote our board members in, and vote on the proposed budget for ISD Oneonta's Fiscal Year 2025. Our Fiscal year is going to change this year- It will run from April 1st, 2025, through December 31st of 2025. In January of 2026 our Fiscal year is switching to January 1st, 2026 to December 31st, 2026 to be in step with our Chartering organization, ISD National.
I think that we all would agree that moving into a new space has been an incredible group effort and joy.
One of the most engaging aspects was the process of taking suggestions and the voting to name the two active practitioner rooms. After gathering names and narrowing it down our membership came up with the perfect choices!
March brings powerful celestial shifts, including a Grand Water Trine, Venus retrograde in Aries, and Neptune's final moments in Pisces. Mercury retrogrades in Aries (3/15), urging careful review of ideas, while Juno and Vesta also begin retrogrades, prompting deep reflection on relationships and personal values. The Sun’s conjunction with Neptune (3/18-19) offers profound insights, followed by the Aries Equinox (3/20), marking a fresh start. The month ends with a Partial Solar Eclipse in Aries (3/29) and Neptune’s monumental shift into Aries (3/30), signaling the dawn of a new cosmic era.
The astrology forecast for February 17–28 highlights a powerful time of celestial activity, particularly with the Galactic Center and several significant astrological alignments. From February 17, the asteroid Apollo passes the Galactic Center, bringing creativity, healing, and visionary inspiration. A Grand Water Trine involving Saturn, Mars, and Vesta encourages softening rigid opinions and embracing a nurturing flow of energy until April 3. On February 18, the Sun enters Pisces, emphasizing compassion, imagination, and spiritual growth, while the asteroid Juno in Sagittarius asks for honesty and loyalty within ourselves. As the forecast progresses, the alignment of planets and asteroids in Pisces fosters a deep feminine energy, urging a focus on healing, cooperation, and spiritual vision.
The astrology report highlights February as a significant month with major planetary movements, including Venus, Uranus, and a powerful multi-planet conjunction in Pisces. The Venus-Neptune-North Node alignment, peaking on February 7, encourages personal and collective spiritual growth, emphasizing dreams, intuition, and feminine energy. Uranus, resuming direct motion in Taurus, brings sudden shifts, while Jupiter turning direct in Gemini on February 4 signals a return of expansive energy. The Full Moon in Leo on February 12 forms a tense T-square with Uranus, influencing leadership, altruism, and financial matters, potentially triggering emotional and societal shifts. A strong emphasis on feminine asteroids in Aquarius and Pisces suggests a rising influence of feminine power, intuition, and transformation, shaping the global consciousness in early 2025.
