Year of the Wood Snake
29/01/2025 - 17/02/2026
Welcome to the year of the wood snake! The snake stands for wisdom, intuition and creativity. She renews herself by shedding her skin, symbolizing transformation, death & rebirth. With her whole body in constant contact with the soil, the snake is deeply connected to Mother Earth and holds the feminine wisdom of cosmic cycles. The energies this year will be high, fast and transformative!
New Moon -the starting point
29/01/2025
The new moon (19:35 ICT/UTC+7, 10° Aquarius) comes in a trine (harmonious aspect) with Jupiter, the planet of expansion and growth, bringing in new ideas, fresh insights, and the call for freedom, justice, and fairness. Especially topics around human rights, equality, and independence can arise. Aquarian energy is rebellious, out of the box, and intuitive, so allow yourself to think big and differently during this moon cycle and don’t be surprised by how fast things change and evolve!
The truth comes up with Mercury, the planet of communication, in exact conjunction (on the same degree in the same sign) with Pluto, the planet of transformation. Pluto digs up even the best-kept secrets and everything that’s hidden under the surface. Pluto doesn’t play around. He doesn’t do small talk. He comes straight to the core and points his finger at whatever we refuse to look at. So, wording is very important these days, taking a deep breath before we say something we might regret later. Words hold power. Words create reality and they start before they even leave the tip of our tongues, so this is a wonderful opportunity to observe and train our thoughts.
Another couple is about to cooperate in unity: Neptune and the North Node form a conjunction at 28° Pisces. (it will be definite on 7 February, but its energies are activated by this new moon and influencing us until the end of February.) The North node, representing our destiny and where we want to grow, just recently moved into Pisces to shift our collective focus on spirituality, holistic healing, and peace. Now just a few days into its new sign, the north node is merging with Neptune, the ruler of Pisces. What a kick-off! This powerful combination will intensify our intuition, compassion, and connection to higher dimensions. Our dreams might get more intense, we might feel the need to disconnect from the online world to meditate, be in silence, or join offline hangouts for real, human connection. Being grounded in our bodies and feeling our own energy is important to not fall for illusions or deception. (also, alcohol and other substances tend to confuse us more than before, so be aware and as sober as possible).
Unfolding - throughout the month
30/01/2025
Uranus direct at 23° Taurus
When Uranus, the breaker of chains, turns direct, things move forward. Fast. Unexpected. We might experience an urge to change, to break free. Taurus is the sign connected to our bodies, our sensuality, and our values, but it also represents our planet. So Mother Earth might shake as well, when the energies, that were turned inward during Uranus' retrograde phase since the 1st of September 2024, push forward again.
01/02/2025
Venus conjunct Neptune & North Node at 28° Pisces
Venus meets her higher octave Neptune and our destiny point, the North Node, in Pisces. This means, our perception of love and beauty will be lifted to a higher, more spiritual level. Selflessness, unconditional love and peace will be present and charge our cells. Perfect days to engage in charity work, practice self-care, daydream, and create art.
04/02/2025
Mars square Chiron at 13° Cancer/Aries
Mars, the planet of action, drive, and confrontation is still in retrograde and comes in a challenging square aspect to Chiron, the wounded healer. Long-forgotten conflicts and old wounds around self-assertiveness, especially in the context of home, family, emotional safety and territory might rise up again.
Venus enters Aries
Venus entering Aries brings a more passionate, spontaneous, “the chase is better than the catch” kind of attitude into our love life and a riskier behaviour with finances.
Jupiter direct at 11° Gemini
When Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion turns direct in Gemini, our communication will expand and grow. New ways to communicate might pop up (from completely new social media concepts to an increase in telepathic skills). Topics such as handling misinformation and false news, navigating AI-generated content, the future of traditional journalism or the development of new educational systems might be in the spotlight until mid-June (Jupiter will wander through Gemini until 08/06/2025).
07/02/2025
Neptune conjunct North Node at 28° Pisces
As mentioned above - highest spiritual realms can be approached.
11/02/2025
Mercury square Uranus at 23° Aquarius/Taurus
This is your friendly reminder to back up all our files because technical disruptions are possible. Mercury and Uranus are connected to technology, electricity, and our nervous system. In a provocative square aspect, this means high voltage on all levels! Be extra mindful and present in everything you do these days, especially because of the full moon energy, that already comes in very strong. If staying focused is challenging today, go out in nature, get some rest and be gentle with yourself. Also, drive extra safe (road rage alert!). If you are grounded and centered, you might receive some valuable insights from this vibrant energy buzz.

Full Moon at 24° Leo in Square to Uranus in Taurus (20:53 ICT/UTC+7)
I can feel the restlessness in my bones while writing about this constellation! During a full moon, the sun and the moon are in opposition, which naturally brings a bit of tension. The sun, representing our consciousness, shines her bright light on the whole of the moon, representing our subconsciousness, our emotions, and what we need to feel safe. Of course there is tension when our subconscious is in the spotlight!
The special part of this full moon, however, is that Uranus, the rebel, ruler of Aquarius, and leader of this whole lunar cycle, builds a so-called T-square to both, the sun and moon. (A T-square is one of the most challenging aspects). Remember yesterday, when Uranus electrified Mercury (our thoughts and communication)? Well, this full moon is adding our emotions to the boiling pot. Let’s take extra care of our wellbeing, and our nervous system, and breathe before we take action because it’s easy to hotheadedly shoot forward now. To release sizzling emotions, consider a run in the woods, or channel restless energy by decluttering your basement, wardrobe or the drawer of chaos in your kitchen. Most importantly, let's practice kindness and patience with others today, more than usual.
14/02/2025
Sun trine Lilith at 25° Aquarius/Libra
Lilith stands for the raw, untamed, and independent feminine side in all of us. She represents everything the patriarchy has suppressed for thousands of years: feminists, LGBTQ+ people, all kinds of minorities, healers, herbalists, sex workers,... The liberal Aquarius sun in this harmonious aspect to Lilith might spark or encourage much-needed movements for inclusivity, diversity and equality.
18/02/2025
Sun enters Pisces
With the sun coming in, we now have 5 planets in the sign of Pisces (Sun, Mercury, Saturn, North Node and Neptune). Wow, our intuition is blooming wildly! Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac wheel, where all worldly matters dissolve and the ego transcends. It’s the place of catharsis, of stillness, of retreat & reflection. The place of letting go completely. When 5 planets are moving through this sign, it means that there is a massive cleansing happening for all of us. A collective high vibrational purification. But these high frequencies are subtle. They are never loud, that’s why we are invited to connect with the silence. To release, let go, and connect with God, our Higher Self, Source, the Universe, whatever we all call it. Stillness is necessary for nature and ourselves, to recollect our energy before a new cycle can begin.
23/02/2025
Mercury trine Mars at 17° Pisces/Cancer
Before Mars turns direct tomorrow, a trine to Mercury gives us the great opportunity to speak out on everything we feel needs to be released. A perfect day for compassionate, positive arguments.
24/02/2025
Mars direct at 17° Cancer
After being retrograde since 07/12/2024, the planet of our drive, our energy, and our willpower moves forward again. If you used the retrograde time to reflect and plan ahead wisely, the time to get things done, move things forward, and ride with the cosmic tailwind is now.
Next New Moon: 28 February 2025, 10° Pisces
Next Full Moon: 14 March 2025, 24° Virgo (lunar eclipse)
Have a magical lunar cycle, everybody.
Shine your light loud, we're all illuminating the same sky.
