Know your Mortal Limits, Under the Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius 2025

Full Moon in Sagittarius today! Where is Sagittarius in your chart? This is the area where something comes to a head.  The full moon shines brightly here, revealing some information that you were not aware of before. 

Sagittarius is ruled by the expansive and benevolent Jupiter.  This is a chance for you to see yourself clearly under the lunar ray.  Despite the saying the sky’s the limit, we are bound by our mortal limits.  Set realistic boundaries to keep yourself sane.  This is especially for those with planets in mutable signs between 19 to 21 and a half degrees.  

The Moon and Jupiter are in mutual reception.  Jupiter conjunct Mercury, both square the Saturn - Neptune conjunction.  Big ideas are challenged by the uncertainties and restrictions in reality.

What is a Void of Course Moon?

What is a Void of Course Moon?

The moon’s empty phase, where she dialogues with herself.

With no connection with other planetary influences.

The lunar energy is pure and enclosed.

Nothing contaminates her.

Nothing disturbs her.

The solitary moon does not reply to any messages,

The mailbox remains empty.

Tonight, the moon leaves all messages unread.

She goes inward and stays true to herself,

Unperturbed by the outside world,

Simply being her lunar self.

5 Ways to Boost your Taurus energy under the Season of Taurus!




Taurus Season is here!  

Taurus is an earth sign that symbolises stability, pragmatism, sensual pleasures and material accumulation.  

In the month of Taurus (April 20th to May 20th), the cosmic energies will place more emphasis on being grounded, worthy, and being in the moment.  

Here are 5 things you can do to boost your Taurean energy, as we step into the month Taurus.

1.  Focus on realistic goals and financial planning

Money & Resources:  Taurus is associated with wealth.  This is the perfect time to review your finances, budgets and savings/investment plans.  For example, sorting out bills, learn about money management, negotiate a raise or start a side hustle.

Personal Values:  Reflect on what is truly valuable to you.  Eliminate useless items, draining relationships and inefficient habits from your life.  Focus your value resources on what really matters to you.

2.  Heal your body and mind through sensory experiences

Contact with Nature:  Taurus is connected with the earth, take more walks, do some gardening, go on picnics or simply step barefoot on grass to absorb the Mother Earth energy.

Sensory delights:  Enjoy your food (in moderation), listen to soothing music and create a comfortable environment with essential oils or soft fabrics to enhance the body's sense of well-being.

Body Maintenance:  It is a great time to go to a spa, start a fitness regime or adjust your eating habits, whatever you do, focus on a slow pace, so your body and mind can steadily get accustomed to the new rhythm.

3.  Establish a steady rhythm and avoid rigidity

Steady progress:  Taurus energy dislike being rushed and so this is a great time to cultivate a sense of patience, for example, learn new skills, and get involved in long-term projects.  Set small achievable goals to avoid procrastination.

Resilience to adjustment:  Taurus is infamous for being stubborn, which can lead to a resistance to change, remind yourself at this time that stability does not equate rigidity, fine tune the plan if necessary.

4. Create a Sense of Material Security

Declutter your home:  Clean your home to make space and include additional items which can enhance your standard of living, e.g. quality kitchen utensils, comfortable bed linens.

Skills acquisition:  Learn practical skills, such as cooking, craftwork, or anything which gives you professional certifications, which strengthen your skill set.

5.  Love, Relationships and Profound Connections


Affection:  This is a great time for managing a stable relationship by expressing your love via practical actions, such as home cook (after all, 'The way to a man's heart is through his stomach!'), and also by being by their sides.  Single or attached, focus on how reliable your other half/object of affection is, instead of placing too much emphasis on whether the person is passionate or not.

Socialise:  Declutter your social network and connect with friends who bring you a sense of security.  Avoid superficial socialisation.

Eliminate the Shadows of the Taurus Energy

Inertia: Overstaying in your comfort zone can lead to stagnation.  Give yourself regular challenges, e.g. try a new route, learn a new skill.

Materialism:  Be aware of the tendency to shop impulsively or binge eat, ask yourself, 'Is this what I need or what I want?'

Conclusion

In essence, the month of Taurus is about feeling abundant pragmatically.  Harness this energy well and you will build a solid foundation and learn to appreciate the beauty of each moment.

🔥 Wishing Under a Solar Eclipse: a Blessing or a Curse?...🌑✨

Astrologers differ on their opinions regarding whether new moon wishes should be made under solar eclipses.

I started off on the 'modern' side, where we belief that solar eclipses are super-charged new moons so their power of manifestation is even greater, therefore, take advantage of it!

However, when I began to dabble into traditional astrology, I found the opposite.  It's because the power is so highly charged that we mortals should not get involved in it.  This practice is also echoed in Chinese astrology, where solar eclipses are described as 'Heavenly dogs eating the sun', though this is specifically referring to total solar eclipses.

With this in mind, and my past experience of casting wishes under solar eclipses, I have now decided NOT to make wishes under solar eclipses, especially when it is a total solar eclipse.

The solar eclipse in Aries on 29th March 2025 is a partial one.  I guess if you are up for some transformational changes in your life, you can take advantage of this highly charged time to reset your system.  For those who do not adapt well to changes, perhaps give this one a miss, there will always be another new moon next month.

Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo 2025


On 14th March 2025 at 06:54 GMT/14:54 HKT, we have a total lunar eclipse in Virgo at 23 degrees 56 minutes.  

The lunar eclipse this time conjunct the south node, so it has a negative overtone.

Themes

Time of Contemplation
Mercury, the ruler of this lunar eclipse, is at station retrograde during this time.  It is getting ready to join the already retrograding Venus.  The message here is to turn inward and go within to do some soul searching at this potent time.  Virgo is a sign with an enhanced ability to analyse data and to derive patterns from information.  Use this time to reassess the past, especially your past relationships (What have you learned/gained from them?).  

Reality vs Fantasy
With Saturn (reality) at 22 degrees conjunct the Sun on one side and Neptune (fantasy) at 29 degrees conjunct the Sun on the other side, weigh out both ends of the spectrum.  How can we manifest (Saturn) our dreams (Neptune)?  Are we deluding ourselves (Neptune) or are we being too harsh on ourselves (Saturn)?  It is a tug of war between diligence (Saturn) and procrastination (Neptune).  Realism (Saturn) and illusion (Neptune).  

Touch of Inspiration
Uranus trine the Moon and sextile the Sun, sending an electrifying wave of inspiration to our system.  Whether we use it to break free from the current walls of self-restriction, or to immerse our psyche with innovative ideas, use the energy wisely.

Venus and Mercury Retrogrades 2025


Venus, the goddess of love, began her retrograde cycle from the 2nd March 2025.  Mercury will also go retrograde on 15th March 2025.  Both planets will retrograde in the sign of Aries, then re-enter into Pisces.  What struck me instantly was that back in August 2023, we also had an overlap of Venus and Mercury retrograde, with Venus in Leo and Mercury in Virgo.  The cycle previous to that in June 2020 also had the same overlap, with Venus in Gemini and Mercury in Cancer.

June 2020, August/Sept 2023 and March/April 2025

I began to trace back to each of these cycles where there was an overlap between Mercury and Venus.  I quickly identified a pattern:  in matters of love or money-related matters (Venus), speak up for oneself (Mercury).

June 2020
With Venus in Gemini and Mercury in Cancer, I was experiencing some great difficulties in the workplace.  On hindsight, if I had voiced out my feelings (Mercury in Cancer) in accordance with my personal values (Venus) in the simplest way (in Gemini), the matter would have been solved quickly and with minimal mess.  Instead, I overthought into the matter and dragged the problem for way too long.  I avoided confrontation and just simply couldn't find a way out of the emotional maze that I had successfully trapped myself in.  

August/September 2023
With Venus in Leo and Mercury in Virgo, this time, still related to work, I repeated my previous mistake.  Again, the matter would have been solved quickly if I had put aside my emotional brain, just long enough to voice out the information I had collected and analysed (Mercury in Virgo), which was also in accordance with my personal values (Venus) in a loud and direct way (in Leo).  Instead, I communicated with defeat, convinced that my opinion would not be heard.  Who would listen to someone who is not fighting for their own cause? 

March/April 2025
With Venus in Aries, re-ingress into Pisces, and Mercury, also in Aries, re-ingress into Pisces, I immediately thought, 'Wait a minute, this seems so familiar...'.  I believe the script this time, which I need to play out, is to display my fighting spirits with flair.  I need to be outspoken (Mercury in Aries), in matters dear to my heart (Venus) in a bold and assertive way (in Aries).  This time, there is another layer to the mix as Aries will move back into Pisces.  I also need to go with the flow and to respect the law of karma.  What goes around comes around.  Not all battles can be won.  Learn from them, extract the lessons within, work on the spiritual aspects with compassion.  Identify and acknowledge your role and responsibilities in your current situation.  Rise above victim mentality and grab your power back!

What do you need to learn from the current Venus Mercury retrograde overlap?

New Moon in Pisces 2025



On 28th February 2025 00:45 GMT/08:45 HKT, we have a new moon in Pisces.  

What I find baffling about this new moon is the hype about the 7 planetary alignments: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

I can't for the life of me, understand how we can have these 7 planets in alignment when Venus is in Aries, Mars is in Cancer, Jupiter is in Gemini, Uranus is in Taurus, and the remaining 3 planets in Pisces (Mercury, Saturn and Neptune).

I reached out to my astro buddies and they couldn't understand it either.  I thought could it be because visually, they are in alignment?  However, I don't think we can see Saturn, Uranus and Neptune with the naked eye.....

Anyway, if anyone can shed some light on this matter with me, I would fully appreciate it!

Back to the new moon in Pisces.

I confirm we have 3 planets plus the sun and moon in Pisces at this new moon.  With such a concentration of Piscean energy, plus the traditional ruler, Jupiter, square this new moon, spiritual matters are brought to the fore.  Neptune, the modern ruler, conjunct Mercury (4-degree orb) and Saturn (loosely with an orb of 8 degrees), perhaps this is a time for us to seriously incorporate spirituality into our lives.  

Pisces is a mutable sign with a loose boundary, so if you find it hard to say no to people, this is a time to reassess your own needs against the needs of those around you.  You need to come first.  When you are happy and well, then you are in a better position to take care of others.  Pamper yourself at this time, though don't overdo it!  Keep a healthy balance between relaxation and procrastination.

The square to Jupiter could warn us of the potentiality of being too idealistic of our current ideas.  Pisces tend to be romantics and find it hard to keep both feet on the ground.  Being creative is one thing, but being unrealistic is another.

Zodiac Compatibility Chart



Admittedly, this is a rather simplistic way of looking at the 12 zodiac signs and how they are compatible with one another.  To get a more accurate picture, the whole birth chart should be taken into consideration when looking at compatibility (synastry).  However, I noticed that too much information can be rather overwhelming, especially for beginners.  Therefore, I put this chart together with the intention of looking at each sign individually.  Start with the personal planets of one chart (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars) and match it to the personal planets of another chart.  Then extend to the social planets (Jupiter, Saturn) and outer planets (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto).  Finally, angles (ASC/DSC, MC/IC) and nodes can also be included.

Excellent match = conjunction/trine

Both signs are in the same zodiac sign (conjunction) or in the same element (trine), giving them a sense of familiarity (conjunction) or harmony (trine).

Amicable match = sextile

Both signs are in the same polarity: masculine (fire & air) or feminine (earth & water).  There's an understanding between them, despite being slightly different.

Spark - square/opposition

The tension (square) and conflict (opposition) between them can bring a spark to transformation, or the spark up a flame of destruction.

Uphill journey - quincunx/semi-sextile

The inability to see eye-to-eye (quincunx) and to recognise one another's values (semi-sextile) can feel like a pebble in the shoe, bringing irritations with every step.  Transformation can be achieved via joint effort and sheer determination from both parties.

Full Moon in Leo 2025

  











Full Moon in Leo on 12th February 2025 at 13:53 GMT.

Mercury conjunct the Sun (Moon's ruler) under this full moon.  Therefore, Mercury is combust so our rational mind cannot function at its best.  During this emotionally heightened period, as our mental faculties is not at its strongest, so any ideas born under this time may have to deal with potential blind spots later on. 

Uranus, the planet of surprises and instability, activates this full moon axis via a dynamic square.  Changes may be inevitable and driven by emotions.  

Saturn is in a separating trine with the retrograding Mars.  it is not the perfect time to act, though it's rather tempting to do so.  Wait for Mars to go direct on 24th February and Mercury to be out of the Sun's rays before executing any long-term plans.

Apparently, trimming your locks under a full moon helps it to grow longer and thicker, especially that it's in the sign of Leo - think about the lion's mane!

New Moon in Aquarius 2025 - What to wish for?



A new moon heralds a new cycle, but the new moon in Aquarius on 29th January 2025 also marks another beginning - the Chinese lunar new year.  I still haven't quite worked out the esoteric meaning behind this annual coincidence.  

Astrologically, this is a great time to sow seeds of intentions.  Get your pen and paper out.  You can make up to 10 wishes from the start of the start of the new moon in Aquarius on Wednesday 29th January 2025 at the following times, depending on your time zone:

San Francisco, USA PST (UTC -8) 04:36

Montreal, Canada EST (UTC -5) 07:36

London, UK, GMT (UTC 0) 12:36

Hong Kong, AWST (UTC +8) 20:36

Sydney, Australia AEDT (UTC +11) 23:36

Aquarius is a sign of innovation and originality.  It's about being unique, revolutionary and humanitarian.  Aquarius is about how we, as individuals, can use our ingenuity for the greater good.

Aquarius is also about stepping out of your existing zone of comfort and take a leap of faith into the unknown.

Aquarius represents the ankles, calves, circulatory system and varicose veins.

To fully utilise this energy, align your personal wishes to these Aquarian concepts.

Here are some examples:

💰Money/💻Career:

'I easily attract a job which pays well and allows me to utilise my skills so I can contribute to the world.'

'Money flows to me smoothly, allowing me to have a decent living and be able to give back to the community.'

💓Love:

'I break free from the existing pattern, which hinders me from having a harmonious relationship with my partner.'

'I easily attract a partner with similar values, and together we create something of value to humanity.'

💪Health:

'I break free from bad habits (XXX) which stop me from having better health.

'I find a suitable way to solve my problem regarding my ankle/calves/circulatory system/varicose veins.'

As you can see, it's about phrasing your wishes to break free from your current situation, in order to usher in a new wave of energy into your life.  Think outside the box and step out of your comfort zone.  Be unique and do something you haven't done before.  And most importantly of all, once you are strong enough to provide for yourself, give back to the community.

According to Jan Spiller's New Moon Astrology, it is recommended to make your new moon wishes within the first 8 hours, as that is the most potent period.  The wishing period lasts 48 hours.  There is a concept of 'void of course moon', where matters being conducted under this time will be hard to succeed, so we tend to avoid that if this falls into our 48-hour time frame.  

For the current new moon in Aquarius, make your wishes under the following 2 time slots to maximise the benefit:

1) Wednesday 29th January 2025 20:36 to Thursday 30th January 2025 19:26

2) Friday 31st January 2025 06:53 to 20:36

(This is for Hong Kong, please adjust for your time zone.  Let me know if you need help with the conversion.)

During this new moon, we also have Mercury (planet of thoughts and communications) conjunct with Pluto (planet of transformations).  Take advantage of this chance to make wishes on removing addictive behaviours, releasing old patterns and transforming negative thoughts.  

Rise above the ashes as the Golden Phoenix and soar into the sky of possibilities.  We can each be a phoenix and make our own contribution to humanity.
