Astrology Cycles Blog

Welcome to the introduction of The Astrology Cycles Blog, where you can find all related content and interactive posts on the gram.

So, what is this blog, anyway? It started as an information blog about Astrology, and I thought about making it exclusive content…however, someone gave me this great idea of creating a blog where I focus on the cycles we go through in life and how we are affected by them. I loved 🥰 this idea, and implemented it right away!

So, every week you check by here, there will be a focus on a current cycle, or asking you to reflect on a past one.

Why do I care about this? Because if you can appreciate the cycles in your life you can begin to:

  1. understand that nothing is permanent

  2. accept where you are in your current life stage

  3. make the most of your life phase

  4. help someone else in their cycle

It seems as though life is presented in cycles. When I go through my IG account, my posts are authentically me, they are real. And the cycles of my life are evident: life before I got married, the side jobs I took, the people I met along the way of my path to explore the world, the activities I cycle through depending on the season, and the celebration of the beauty around me outdoors. This kaleidoscope of first moments, daily moments and lifelong moments are what create our cycles. And cycles push us forward…

“For we beat on, boats agains the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past”

Important Transits for 2023

Here We Go, 2023!

As I am writing this, the year has already started. Did you feel a shift when Mars left Gemini and entered Cancer on March 26th? That same day, Pluto dipped into Aquarius. You might be wondering: what does this all mean? And what does that mean for me?

Well, if you know your rising sign, I can give you some tips for the basic transits (meaning the stars in the sky that are active this very moment and how they may impact you generally knowing the sign that was on the eastern horizon at the time when you were born). It is always fun to track which planets can affect you more than others. I find Cancer risings are most affected by the Moon because the Moon rules Cancer. So it is probably a good idea for a Cancerean person to track how the moon affects them every couple of days because that is how fast the Moon moves through the Zodiacal sky! Once you know what rising sign you are, find out the ruler of that planet (Sun rules Leo, Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Venus rules Taurus and Libra, Mars rules Aries and Scorpio, Jupiter rules Sagittarius and Pisces, Saturn rules Capricorn and Aquarius) then track that planet! Instead of going through all the rising signs individually, email me and I can send you your personal transit list using the following example as a template for Leo risings. (Use this form to reach me!)

Leo Rising (Ascendant)

Mars retrograde in Gemini ENDS (Jan 12): this is affecting your 11th house. Maybe your friends are knowledgeable or your community offers some aspects of yourself you did not know before; or it becomes more clear now.

Saturn enters Pisces (March 7): this affects your 8th house of shared resources (also the house of debts, taxes, client’s money). Although Saturn brings limits, it can also bring a restructuring of how you go about these topics. You have the next 3 years to figure that out.

Pluto enters Aquarius (March 23): this affects your sun! People have described a rebirth of who they are during this period; as well as deep transformation.

Jupiter enters Taurus (May 16): Jupiter brings gifts to your 10th house! This energy goes big and doesn’t always worry about getting home. You may take on too much at this time, or you may be implementing too much change at once. It’s okay to scale back and take a look if those efforts are well used. What you learned about Jupiter in Aries time will remind you of that.

The lunar notes enter Aries and Libra (July 17): the nodes move from your angular houses (big impact) to your 3rd/9th house access of trips, education, philosophy, neighborhood…you may see some changes there, especially around eclipse time.

Venus retrograde in Leo: (July 22-Sept 3rd) Venus in your ASC sign is a wonderful feeling of being beautiful and you may find yourself spending more time on what makes you feel good, especially since Leo rules the Sun and it is in Aquarius: your spunky self that doesn’t follow the rules but loves being social.

Important transits for 2022

Hello Astrology Lovers! I am so glad you are here! I am going to outline the most impactful transits for 2022. If you’re not familiar with what a transit is, that’s okay. It is basically a planet that is moving at this current time and affecting something in your natal chart that was specifically designed from the time of your birth. In order for you to know how this affects you more specifically, please consult an astrologer, or make an appointment with me!

Transit #1: Venus reviews your relationships and how much you’ve grown until March.

Transit #2: Jupiter moving through Pisces, which gives us a sense of freedom.

Transit #3; Jupiter and Neptune linking up to dream together by the ocean’s tide.

Transit #4: Mars reviews your action in a sign of intellectual and fun energy in April.

Transit #5: Taurus~Scorpio eclipse axis. Big endings and big beginnings in your life.

Transit #6: Mars and Saturn have a chat about what to do next. They may not totally agree.

Now, onto how it affects your sign:

Aries: now is your time to heal from the past. Just remember, you didn’t do anything wrong, you just needed to do what you felt you had to with the circumstances you were given. Now, as you enter into a time of relief and release, have confidence that you can really let it go this time. Onto new and better things!

Taurus: Situations, career, relationships, the self have been changing a lot for you. Changes that were sudden and possibly intense. Or perhaps you did not notice it, but now you perceive you are not the same, and you are not really sure how that happened. Now is a time to get out of that “steadiness” and learn to be flexible. You can do it; just make sure you have the small pleasures around to keep you grounded.

Gemini: You are a gem. Keep on thinking, inspiring, inventing, creating. That is so you, and you look good in it. Don’t be afraid to be different, because this year might feel that way. You may find yourself going out, while others are staying in. You don’t need to follow the crowd, but be careful in the Spring that you don’t overdo things.

Cancer: Let the moon guide you towards those things that are true, noble, perfect. If you need to organize, do it; if you need to call a friend, do it. You will know what you need and use your intuition towards it. You may find the need to release more than you have been, and that just means you are making room for something better.

Leo: Keep using that fire to grow and create! You are the sun and you can shine with a roar. Gather your energy during the winter so you can shine better in the coming months thereafter. People will be looking to you to lead them, so be true to yourself because people are watching.

Virgo: This is your year! Whatever goal you have set, you will see it moving forward in the right direction. Make sure you review your notes and double check to make sure you’re not getting side-tracked. You may feel fiery in the Spring, this can tee you up for “getting it all done” as the year moves forward!

Libra: Success in relationships, as you are the relational master. If you don’t feel you are, you are learning to be. Keep learning. That is your theme. Areas of your life will begin to click and you will see the purpose for the meandering journey.

Scorpio: The deep transformation you have embarked on for the past 10 years, will culminate and shine. You will ride in the chariot of protection from those who did not think you were “good enough”. Those voices will not matter anymore. You are onto something different. You see life differently, and with better perspective. Don’t stop doing that, the sky is the only limit you have.

Sagittarius: I know, you are a little skeptical of things. That is good! You are the one to tell people how “it really is’”, you don’t fall for those scams, you create your own path. Keep going that way! You are doing a great job. Use your fiery passion towards studying, justice, travel, or philosophy.

Capricorn: It the last 10 years weren’t that intense, the last 3 definitely were! You may have felt restricted and that longing to move forward has grown stagnant. How many times must you review the state in which you find yourself in? It may feel like Groundhog Day, but the scenario was different each time, and you will soon find that the frozen picture is changeable. the decisions you begin to take will, in fact, prove fruitful. Just be patient a little longer.

Aquarius: This year, the world is your oyster. You are learning to approach situations with love and understanding. Yes, you were always compassionate, but a new sense of who you are and what you bring to others is emerging. How that looks in your life, is for you to find out. Mars and Saturn are having a chat in your sign on April 4th, so don’t resist it. The wise sage is advising a turbulent Mars in a sign of revolutionary change. Have patience with the process.

Pisces: There’s some beautiful dreaming and authenticity going on in your life and how you see yourself. You will need lots of time by the water to contemplate and relax. In everything you do, find peace. That may mean not watching the news everyday and taking a break from social media. Enjoy tasty foods, but don’t over-indulge. Surround yourself with friends you trust and let life lead you. It’s all meant to work out this way.
