Celestial Conversations with Connie Lull

This astrology forecast highlights significant celestial events from January 16-31, 2025. The Sun moves into Aquarius on January 19, emphasizing traits such as independence, innovation, and humanitarianism, while Mercury's transit into Aquarius on January 27 fosters imaginative and agile thinking. A New Moon in Aquarius on January 29, accompanied by a powerful six-planet stellium, invites new beginnings and visionary insights. Uranus stations direct in Taurus on January 29, signaling potential surprises in finances and possessions, as it completes its seven-year transit of this grounded sign.

The 2025 preview emphasizes major shifts as outer planets, including Pluto, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus, and Jupiter, transition signs, heralding paradigm changes and heightened energy dynamics. These transitions align harmoniously, offering opportunities for growth and transformation amidst the chaos. Staying centered, focused, and hopeful is encouraged to navigate the year’s profound shifts.

This week’s astrology forecast explores Capricorn's deeper significance, emphasizing its symbolic Sea Goat—blending practicality with imaginative and magical qualities. Capricorn, along with the other Earth signs, has the potential to not only provide stability but also to act as a conduit for higher consciousness and multidimensional energies, helping to manifest "Heaven on Earth."

Several planetary movements mark the beginning of January. On January 2, Vesta enters Scorpio for an extended 8-month transit, bringing sacred energy to relationships, while Venus moves into Pisces, where it is exalted, enhancing grace, beauty, and the connection to Divine Feminine energy. Mercury's conjunction with the Galactic Center on January 6-7 invites profound cosmic insights, while Mars retrograding into Cancer on January 8 offers opportunities for introspection and rebalancing inner masculine and feminine energies.

The upcoming astrological events offer profound opportunities for personal growth, reflection, and planning. Mercury's extended transit through Sagittarius, enhanced by its retrograde phase, encourages visionary thinking and personal insight. This culminates in its alignment with the Galactic Center in early January, signaling cosmic potential for profound understanding and spiritual growth. Similarly, the Sun’s conjunction with the Galactic Center on December 18 emphasizes renewal and heightened awareness, inviting receptivity to unmanifest potential.

Between November 16 and 30, astrology highlights a period of both challenges and transformative opportunities. Venus and Jupiter, visible in the night sky, offer inspiration as symbols of positivity, encouraging meditation and reflection. Pluto's move into Aquarius on November 19 marks the start of significant societal and personal shifts, emphasizing transformation and forward-thinking. Sagittarius season begins on November 21, bringing expansive, philosophical energy that may guide new ideas and paths. However, Mercury retrograde from November 25 to December 18 in Sagittarius could bring scattered thoughts, suggesting a pause on major decisions until clarity returns.

The first week of November begins with a powerful New Moon in Scorpio, coinciding with the Celtic festival of Samhain, marking a time for transformation and new beginnings. Scorpio's intensity brings heightened emotions and opportunities for passion, compassion, and self-confidence, while also urging mindfulness to avoid extremes. A rare Kite Formation in the sky offers strong cosmic support, involving harmonious alignments between planets that encourage flow, grace, and positive action. Jupiter sextile Chiron on November 2 facilitates deep healing and the release of old wounds, while Mercury's entry into Sagittarius on November 3 sparks expansive thinking and fresh ideas, though implementation may be best postponed. With Pluto nearing the end of its Capricorn transit, this week invites reflection on personal and societal transformation, supported by love, grace, and balance.
