What is a Zodiac Sign?

New Moon in Leo on July 24, 2025: Cut to the chase
The New Moon in Leo this year occurs on July 24th at 2°08' of the sign. It's a lunation that will surely bring to consciousness a series of rotten issues that had been hidden. Why? The Sun, ruler of this lunation, is in Leo: its own sign. Therefore, solar energy is enhanced , and what was in the shadows begins to be illuminated more clearly. Let's think that the Sun represents consciousness. That is, by being in its sign of residence, this transit helps us bring to consciousness a series of issues that were in the shadows. Although it is... read more

Mercury is the planet that retrogrades the most times a year (between 3 and 4 times), each lasting approximately three weeks . During this period, Mercury's energy—associated with communication, thought, travel, and information management—takes on an introspective rhythm, which can generate reviews, adjustments, and rethinking in these areas. Rather than a phase of chaos or unavoidable problems (it's essential not to dramatize Mercury retrogrades), this transit invites us to pause and reevaluate, allowing us to correct mistakes, reconsider decisions, and address pending issues and details that need greater clarity. The Exact Dates and Degrees This is Mercury's second retrograde motion... read more

We have several months ahead of us with a rather turbulent astrological climate and many changes worldwide. Within this context, it could be said that Mars retrograde marks the beginning of these somewhat crazy months. This retrograde —which will begin on December 6, 2024, and end on February 23, 2025, and in which Mars will retrograde from 6°10' Leo to 17°0' Cancer— represents a key moment to stop, reflect, and readjust our actions. Let's face it: this is an uncomfortable retrograde. Mars is the planet that retrogrades the least frequently—about 70 to 80 days every two years. We're not usually... read more

If we're looking for a month that delivers certainty, December won't be that month. This will be a period that asks us to be adaptable in the face of uncertainty, coexisting with confusion, slowness, and disorder . With Mercury retrograde for half the month, Mars entering retrograde, and Jupiter and Neptune also in retrograde motion (although Neptune will resume direct motion), the feeling of uncertainty will be a central theme. In this context, it is essential to keep fear at bay and work through any feelings of loss of control that may arise. This does not mean ignoring anxiety or... read more

We are not going to sugarcoat it: the astrological weather of August is chaos. In the remainder of 2024 we will experience tense and explosive times, very different from the beginning of the year, which was much calmer. The remaining months will be extremely intense, as many changes are taking place at a planetary level and we are preparing for a period of great evolution on a personal and collective level. Although we cannot avoid these events, astrology helps us to anticipate and respond in the best way. In any case, there are many good things that we can take... read more
