Weekly #OracleCardReading & #CelestialGuidance: Feb 09 - 15, 2025
26. NEPTUNE: Vision
Pray, meditate, intuit, use your divination. Rest and dream. Activate the right side of your brain and step out of the sequential logic into a sense of the infinite. Engage ceremony and ritual. Find a dream or vision and bring it back here to manifest.
Because Neptune invokes both intuition and imagination, it can blur the boundaries between the two. It's all too easy to believe that what you want or what you are afraid of is in fact reality, which can make it easy for others to manipulate you by playing to your hopes and fears. Working with Neptune is like walking in the fog: you can see the present moment clearly; it's just the future and the past that get lost in the hopes and fears.

If you feel inspired to create this morning thank the Moon in Cancer and Neptune in Pisces forming a trine. Music, literary, and production is highly favored. Our intuition is heightened, and we could meet a destined contact. Humanitarian work can quench the palette.
We feel even more imaginative, creative, and embrace a sense of freedom when the Moon enters Leo right after noon. We seem to innately recognize solutions to problems that aren't readily apparent. Avoid an inflated ego.
Don't be surprised if your normal routine is disrupted this afternoon when Mercury in Aquarius square Neptune in Pisces. This may feel unsettling and even produce tension; however, altering your perspective to appreciating the unseen blessing in this will be grounding and produce and excitement for the future. It also opens the mind to receive innovative ideas and even a quantum leap!
Tonight is perfect for socializing with close friends or family when the Moon in Leo trine Venus in Aries. A karaoke or band practice is highly favored, as this energy contains a deep affection for the art of music. We should feel playful and affectionate.

Sedna Stations Direct in Gemini
After a four + month retrograde in Gemini since September 01, 2024, Sedna stations direct overnight @ 3:01 AM EST, 7th House, the natural home of Libra ruled by Venus, a house of cooperation and face-to-face relationships.
Sedna will remain in Gemini until August 2067, when it will enter Cancer.
This transit accelerates the Rise of AI.
Gemini's duality is expressed through versatility of literary and inventive measures. Ruled by the reasoning ability of Mercury, communication, transmission, and sensory perceptions will be enhanced and play a major factor in the development of Artificial Intelligence.
Sedna is a dwarf planet known as the "Goddess of the Sea" or the "Asteroid of Abandonment". She assists in an introspective process that helps us to identify our greatest fear.
Symbolizing abandonment issues, she can help you face the truth of yourself sans excuses.
Sedna's name originates from Inuit mythology because it is the coldest, most distant place known in our solar system. According to Inuit mythology, Sedna, Goddess of the Sea and Mistress of Marine Life, is thought to live at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, one of the coldest and most unexplored areas on our planet.
She takes approximately 11,390 years to orbit the Sun. So you can see how important this station is.
However, because her orbit is elliptical, the time spent in each sign differs.
Sedna is a prime example of spiritual evolution born from traumatic events such as betrayal, treachery, or abandonment that produced mental and emotional stress. Exactly what I predict is occurring not only in the United States, but on a global level as well.
According to humanistic astrologer Alan Clay, "When a new solar system body is discovered, clues to the astrological meaning can be found by looking at a range of factors. But primarily, meaning comes from studying the planet in a large number of charts to find common themes. Here I'm going to present an overview of my research into the new outer-most planet in our solar system which I conducted for my new book Sedna Consciousness.
Along the way we'll discover the evolutionary power of the 'candidate dwarf planet' and learn of the profound implications for society as Sedna approaches her closest point to Earth later this century in the 2070s."
In the below article, Clay outlines orbital characteristics, past cycles that include the Neolithic revolution, Sedna in the signs, including predictions for Gemini - the rise of Artificial Intelligence.
One such discovery that Clay linked to Sedna is the development of neural networks, the foundation of Artificial Intelligence. From the below article:
Ray Kurzweil is a scientist, inventor and futurist, who made a series of predictions in the 1990s. All his predictions to date have been realised.
So here are some for this Gemini period:
"By the 2030s, virtual reality will begin to feel 100% real. We will be able to upload our mind/consciousness by the end of the decade.
By the 2040s, non-biological intelligence will be a billion times more capable than biological intelligence. Nanotech foglets (micro-robots – known as 'smart material') will be able to make food out of thin air and create any object in the physical world at a whim.
By 2045, we will multiply our intelligence a billion-fold by linking wirelessly from our neocortex to a synthetic neocortex in the cloud."
(From a 26 January 2015 article on singularityhub.com by Peter Diamandis.)
"We see that Sedna in Gemini is going to be all about the rise of Artificial Intelligence which will inevitably promote a consciousness revolution. And a consciousness revolution is a spiritual revolution."
© Alan Clay - first published by The Astrological Journal, 2010 / The Astrological Association of Great Britain / 01.04.2019
Alan Clay is a practicing astrologer of 40 years' standing, with a basis in humanistic astrology; and he has a long interest in Chiron and the centaurs. Most recently exploring the dwarf planets, he spent the last two or so years researching 700 charts for his book Sedna Consciousness. Outside of astrology he is an award-winning filmmaker and clown teacher. Website:

💫 #ApectingtheCosmos: Tue, Feb 11, 2025: Success shouldn't be determined by our expectations, but belief that everything is aligning and working for out benefit.
Hit the floor running this morning and seize the opportunity prosperity is providing when the Moon in Leo sextile Jupiter in Gemini! It's an ideal time to present your ideas to those who can assist your growth. Travel and higher education are favored.
If things aren't going the way you anticipated this afternoon when the Aquarian Sun square Uranus in Taurus, don't lose your equilibrium. Results should never be measured by our perceptions. Guard against knee-jerk reactions and ride this wave out with patience and belief everything is working out according to plan.
Make sure you're balancing work with pleasure and rest when the Moon in Leo inconjunct Saturn in Pisces tonight. All work and no play makes you a dull human. Singles can create intimacy through therapeutic baths, rich lotions, candles, music, and meditation. Tomorrow is another day to tackle what may be weighing heavy.

Happy Lantern Festival to all our friends who are and will be celebrating in the East and West Wednesday! 🎎🏮🎐🧧🎉
On the 15th day of the first Chinese lunar month, two weeks after Chinese New Year is an important traditional festival in China. The lantern festival marks the first full moon of the new lunar year and the end of the Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) period.
Traditionally, on the night of the Lantern Festival, streets are decorated with colorful lanterns. Families will get together to enjoy a reunion dinner. People also eat tangyuan, glutinous rice balls filled with sweet sesame paste, red bean paste, or peanut butter. In Chinese culture, tangyuan symbolizes reunion.
Chinese people believe that eating tangyuan during the festival may bring family harmony and good luck in the new year.
After the Lantern Festival, Chinese New Year taboos are no longer in effect, and all New Year decorations are taken down. Some people still wait till after the festival to return to work or study.
The lanterns symbolize people letting go of the past year and welcoming the new year with good fortune.
There are many lantern festivals in the western United States, including Chinese lantern festivals, water lantern festivals, and sky lantern festivals.
• Tianyu Lights: A Chinese lantern festival in Dallas that combines traditional craftsmanship with interactive elements
• NC Chinese Lantern Festival: A festival at Koka Booth Amphitheatre in North Carolina that features lanterns made by artisans from China
• Water Lantern Festival: A family-friendly festival in Los Angeles that's meant to create a peaceful and memorable experience
• Night Lights Sky Lantern Festival: A festival with food trucks, beer and wine gardens, and s'mores kits
• The Lights Fest: A sky lantern festival in San Diego that includes music and a relaxing atmosphere
• Stockton Lantern Festival: A festival in Stockton that you can follow on Facebook and Instagram
• Charlotte Water Lantern Festival: A festival in Charlotte, North Carolina that includes food trucks, floating lantern kits, and a scavenger hunt
• Lights Over America is a website that will locate the closest Lantern Festival near your location ( see first link in 'References' ).

🏮Chinese #LanternFestival!
💫 #ApectingtheCosmos: Wed, Feb 12, 2025: 🌕Full Snow Moon in Leo opposite Sun in Aquarius @ 24°26' @ 8:54 AM, 5th House.
With this "spotlight" lunation comes vivaciousness, stability, consistency, and passion. Pay more attention to reality, and face life with a more pragmatic and stable attitude. Leo is a fire sign ruled by the Sun, who reminds us to emphasize and focus awareness of ourselves.
This celestial event is occurring in the 5th House, the natural home of Leo ruled by the Sun. This is a house of life and creativity. Manifestation rituals can yield a bountiful return.
Leos are magnetic, romantic, generous, and creative! This lunation turns our attention away from others toward ourselves. Therefore, we do need to take care and avoid melodrama, as Leo Moons are often dramatic, and we are approaching Full Moon energy! As a matter of fact, Leo Moons are dramatic with a capital D!
This is a very theatrical sign renowned for big entrances and the need for attention. When the Moon transits this proud sign, we all feel a need to be seen and appreciated for who we are. Avoid over-reacting based on personal perception and vanity. Instead, turn our focus to romance and family, entertainment and fun!
This is the time to shine and discover the beauty in all parts of ourselves. Yes, even the shadow-aspects that encompass fear or rejection. Without contrast, courage is unneeded. Integration will facilitate a realignment with every part of our authentic selves. To deny any part of us is to deny the opportunity to heal and grow from that which we hide from others and deny ourselves.
Truth as well as light is in the wound, waiting to be released by the Courage that Leo provides. If you need assistance, then talk with your partner, a trusted friend or colleague, or even a counselor.
Vulnerability is difficult for this lunation because Leo is associated with ego and pride. However, it's also associated with heart and generosity. Opening our hearts to allow the light to illuminate it will make us even more courageous.
Not to mention healed.
According to Native American legend:
"Native American tribes have labeled full moons for many reasons. This particular full moon is called the Snow Moon.

✨Full Snow Moon Aspects: Degrees/Aspects/Time EST:
7:27 AM: Moon in Leo square Uranus in Taurus @ 23°20': Focus and routine may be difficult this morning because of our mindset. We're apt to be or encounter others who are acting melodramatic and resistant to authority and change. Guard against emotional outbursts and/or those from others. Focusing on creativity can assist in grounding excess energy.
2:12 PM: Full Moon in Leo oppose Mercury in Aquarius @ 26°53': If possible, find a location where you can meditate in solitude for even 5 minutes. This will keep any erratic emotions in check. Trying to communicate our feelings isn't advised at this time due to the potential for misunderstandings.
4:56 PM: Full Moon in Leo inconjunct Neptune in Pisces @ 28°20': Adjusting our perspective regarding a relationship to the possibility of being wrong could salvage the partnership. Avoid rose-colored glasses or measures of escapism through addictive behavior. This is a time to guard your heart from negative thoughts.

💫 #ApectingtheCosmos: Thu, Feb 13, 2025: The purpose of lower-vibrational energies isn't resistance but integration into the light so they can be seen and heard. Just as Animal Totems, they are markers with messages along our healing experiences.
Lower-vibrational energies involving our domestic relationships, such as doubt and uncertainty about our personal dreams or goals, may intensify when the Moon in Virgo inconjunct Pluto in Aquarius. Accept these emotions rather than quashing them. Sharing with someone we trust can avoid future outbursts. Journaling also helps.
This energy continues thru morning when the Moon in Virgo inconjunct Venus in Aries, indicating imbalance involving a partner, family member, or inner imbalance if single. Have you been giving more than you are receiving? This can produce deep-seated resentment and affect our self-esteem. Distance, self-care, and quiet time can calm these energies and help restore self-respect and confidence.
Maintain your dignity tonight when the Moon square Jupiter in Gemini. Avoid excess or company that may not be up to your standards in exchange for affection. Such actions may provide momentary relief; however, the long-term results can reverberate into the future as regret. Focus instead on a subject that interests you. It's an excellent time to expand knowledge.

Mercury enters Pisces: Intuitive Reliance
Mercury enters his detriment in Pisces early tomorrow ( Fri ) morning @ 7:07 AM, 2nd House, the natural home of Taurus ruled by Venus. This is a house of values and substance, and a realm encompassing financial affairs, possessions, our need for fulfillment, emotional feelings, resources, and a sense of self-worth.
Mercury is logical; Pisces is intuitive. Mercury is intellectual; Pisces is dreamy.
Mercury is the Archetype of the Messenger and avenues of expression. He also possesses reasoning ability, awareness, and rules the brain and ALL hormones. Additionally, Mercury's action can be knee-jerk, uncertain, and sometimes volatile under certain influences.
Pisces, on the other hand, is the Mystic: Intuitive, compassionate, sympathetic, emotional, and psychically astute. However, in this arena of emotion, we find a lack of logic, an absence of a defined course, no established pathways, and no distinct markers — everything here is entirely non-linear.
This transit encourages expressive exploration as opposed to oral communication by encouraging us to investigate beyond the spoken word's superficial layer to discover the underbelly of meaning. The approach promotes poetic expression above plain prose, values artistic representation over factual discussion, and favors musical composition instead of fixed cognitive structures.
Here we have an opportunity to rise above ordinary channels of creativity and commerce and access a deeper well of inspiration and imagination. It's a steppingstone to understanding and trusting our intuition rather than relying on reason.
As a sign of spirituality, Pisces offers Mercury the experience of transcending the limits of logic and reason to discover new ways of navigating a reality that doesn’t always “make logical sense”. This may prove challenging for Air signs who aren't comfortable in emotional waters: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, and the earth sign Virgo, ruled by Mercury.
Awareness and grounding exercises can assist our focus to prevent impractical thoughts or feeling misunderstood, which can lead to procrastination and indolence. Avoid too much caffeine and sugar, as they can be emotional triggers via hormones.
We can consciously choose the artistic side of our spiritual gifts. And we ALL have those gifts. Also, being charitable toward others as well as our self keeps us in check. Believing in our self and our ability to make a vital contribution to this planet through the creative process eases this transit for those who find it challenging.
Lastly, realize that ANY feelings of insecurity, doubt, melancholy, pessimism, misunderstandings, and the like could simply be Mercury kicking up his heels in a place where he must conform. When we stop resisting the inner pull of our intuition, the waters will clear, and we'll realize it was the most logical thing we couldn't done.
