Mercury Retrograde
When Mercury appears to move backward in the sky, communication, technology, and travel often experience disruptions. It's a time for review, reflection, and revisiting the past rather than starting new ventures.
Eclipses
Solar eclipses bring new beginnings and opportunities, while lunar eclipses reveal hidden truths and bring endings. Eclipse effects can be felt for up to 6 months and often trigger significant life changes.
Equinoxes & Solstices
These cardinal points mark the turning of seasons and are powerful times for setting intentions. The spring equinox begins the astrological new year, while solstices mark the peak of light (summer) and dark (winter) energy.
