AstroRain Report February 4-10
The energy field, living field we are 100% part of, is activated many times over with Uranus’ pivot to direct on the 3rd as whatever was lit up last May os coming back in a bigger way. That’s all about collective values, global financial moves and major shifts, In our faces activity from Mother herself with earth movements releasing built up tensions and at the same time creating new land. Uranus acts with seemingly sudden moves but they’re usually things that have been up for change for quite a while, and this is the moment of truth. Personally this happens in the area of our natal chart with late degrees of Ta**us . As well outer planets Pluto and Neptune are operating in their own special and powerful ways to help us let go of what must be released. All in order to skillfully navigate the path forward, and we must add minimize the suffering and struggle along the way. If we continue resistance, denial, holding on to clearly outworn parts of our lives, suffering and struggle are the signals to re-think and re-adapt. And then there’s the possibility that those things are swept away in a flash if we don’t move with the ambient energies and the conflicts at work within us.

Wed 4 Venus-Chiron connect in friendly exchange of energies supporting healing the realm of heart’s most cherished desires, claiming them and releasing whatever may still be in the way of fulfillment. That’s a big deal alright, up to us to get to it for it with gusto, and like never before! Anything connecting us to a more community experience is part of this pattern in the wake of Full Moon in Leo opposite the major Aquarian stelium. Virgo lunar influence favors being here now while attending to the details of how to progress in most immediate matters, along with what tools, tactics, most relevant information and allies to move forward with. From midday to late evening Moon makes multiple aspects; Venus, Chiron, Mercury, Uranus and Saturn offering a wide range of possibilities for problem solving if we’re on the ball.

Thur 5 Mercury square Uranus cautions not to blurt things out unedited, but is great for experimenting with innovative ideas and strategies, or just changing things up in general. Don’t need to be shocked by what others say or by our own thoughts if we’ve been paying attention, and speaking of paying attention, best to watch our step today as this combination can encourage accidents. Sun-Jupiter meanwhile push us toward a more inclusive and nurturing perspective along with full respect for our own uniqueness, gifts and need for self expression. Moon has shifted to air sign Libra with early am and late night harmonious aspects with Pluto and Mars. These can help with getting real in relationships/partnerships/friendships while maintaining kindness and compassion.

Fri 6 Cardinal air sign lunar influence continues til Saturday late morning, A square to Jupiter emphasizes the oneness of all our relations, human, animal, mineral, plant, spirit and of course the ancestors. As 2026 moves along these more expansive insights and experiences will be more and more a part of our shifting reality all together and within each one of us. That can play out in many different ways, through all kinds of events, encounters, inner revelations. Mercury enters Pisces today and will be there til mid April as it turns retrograde end of this month, an extra long pasage to help us sink further into the larger reality, to slow down enough to experience deeper, more inclusive ways of perceiving.
Moon trine Sun late morning may bring bright and gracious rays of light to any situation if we’re allowing ourselves to be in the moment. This is an increasingly crucial place to be in countering the all too usual disjointed and faster pace of day to day. We get coerced into that stressful way of living by the structure most need to operate within, and of course it takes a toll. The more we can step out of that pace and adherence to the almighty clock the easier all the changes coming in will go for us.

Sat 7 After a kind of jagged nerves morning with lunar stressful aspects to Uranus and Saturn Luna enters Scorpio by 11:13 am. Another stressful pattern this time with Neptune less than an hour later extends the need for clear eyed honesty with self and others. Afternoon fixed water sign Moon eases up favoring a more relaxing mood, inviting us to let go of any lingering suspicions, fears, frustrations. 6:59 pm Moon-Pluto square gets back to the overall theme of authenticity and profound emotional depths. Otherwise if trying to escape a situation, emotional tangle, inner conflict the evening doesn’t go well at all.

Sun Feb 8 Venus, according to some ancient sources the most potent planet in our Solar System, is in a revelatory square to electrical Uranus. What comes up in regards to matters of the heart and/or resources and alternative ways to use or acquire them can be quite significant. We need to be open to the kinds of changes we can make, or just enthusiastically go along with , to benefit. Scorpio Moon brings up the area of shared resources as well and contacts Mars right after midday. That may instigate conflict of some sort, or the need to act without further delay on whatever has been pending. Evening lunar trine with beneficent Jupiter promises smoother going with great possibilities for deeply nurturing connections, encounters, or inner explorations.

Mon 9 Moon’s mid morning aspect with Chiron proposes an emotional shift out of blame, shame, suffering impacting self or aimed at others in order to create or open wider a healing pathway. Early evening lunar opposition to dynamic Uranus may light up more innovative approaches to old stuck situations. A surprise development perhaps that turns out for the better or at least gets any stagnant energies moving.

Tues 10 Sagittarian lunar influence for next 21/2 days lifts us from interior focus to a wider view improving overall perspective. Venus leaves more detached Aquarius entering all encompassing, intuitive mutable water sign Pisces into first week of March. At the end of this month and first couple of days of March Mercury and Venus travel very closely in the sign of open hearted acceptance, empathy, spiritual values, compassion and universal love. What an opportunity for the sad state of our suffering world That we all have our own part to play in. Daily remembrance that love is the core of our existence is what’s most needed for the healing to spread far and wide.

February 3:
Uranus turning direct at 28th degree of Ta**us raises the frequencies to a higher level for the whole world and for each of us in our own lives. Uranus the Liberator, Awakener, Divine Lightening Bolt of revelations, Disrupter of whatever needs release and transmuting. Uranus in Ta**us is rich with those energies of transmutation; from victim to full reclamation of the sovereign self, from the richness of spirit into abundance in material plane for optimal functioning. Transmutation of personal demons into power allies and of ancestral wounds and trauma into the healing that incorporates all the (missing for millennia) DNA strands natural to our species.
Full capacity of innate abilities is where we’re headed if we choose liberation of indoctrinated soul, body, mind we’ve longed for. This must include willingness to let go of more of the familiar, the aspects we can tell are weighing us down, blocking our light from full spectrum radiance.
This where the love comes in that saves us from the lifelong indoctrination convincing us we’re either too little or too much. Especially so for females. Males have had their divine masculine cut away in brutal and incessant inculcating with lies about who they are at heart as well. We’re all on the brink of liberation if we choose that path.
Uranus sets loose major waves of love in this world, along with the bigger and necessary disruptions. As Tessa Lena (substack.com) has put it the primordial memory, the core of love within all of us is here and now accessible. And I add the all encompassing love of Gaia and all her beings.
Look to last May when the Awakener was last at the pivoting degree and what was energized in your life at that time that’s now coming forward again. This time requiring more dedication, openness and receptivity to the changes and new opportunities before us.

AstroRain Report January 28 - February 3
Of course every week, and every day, is like no other, but this week and those to come are lifted into the realm of earthly-celestial wonders to be acknowledged, honored and integrated into the ever shifting reality we’re living. And that’s along with the utterly soul chilling events playing out in our world that are, when you come right down to it, big signs of the Matrix disintegrating. The total insanity of the systems we’re caught up in must be recognized for what it is, nonsense of a most pernicious kind that unsustainable doesn’t even begin to describe.

Wed 28 Hot on the heels of Mars-Pluto joining up in “yes we really mean business” combination of energies we may be reeling from the events the human world has set loose in a blast of drama, belligerence, fanatical agendas. And all countered in equal or greater measure by growing resistance. Mars-Pluto faces us full on with consequences of the 5,000 year history of patriarchy’s love of war, entirely based on soul and biosphere killing materialism. The march to our own extinction is at a crucial turning point.
For each of us the question is what actions are required to address what we fear the most. And the clues to what, where and how to do that can be delineated by the placement in personal charts of early degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio and Ta**us. Big question as the Full Moon will illuminate that with unavoidable clarity. And so much more.
Time for activating prayers from the very depths of heart and soul and make more space for imagining, visioning, dreaming the re-awakening of Gaia’s magic as Neptune has entered 00 degrees Aries last Monday. Mystical Neptune headed to the sacred marriage with Materialistic Saturn in the super charging initiation of the next long cycle for us and our planet. We’re in the process of being re-born, and the birthing process can be quite painful to the degree we resist, trying to hold on to the familiar version of reality.
Luna crossed the Pleiades star system before changing signs yesterday, and with Uranus within those degrees of late Ta**us as well this encounter carried, and continues to, particularly important messages and energies from Seven Sisters, historical origin of some of the First Nations of this planet. For all those Pleiadean connected, by tribe or by intuition/imagination this is a rich time for tuning in.
Today Gemini Moon encourages gatherings, conversations, sharing with friends and/or community groups, especially with dedication to harness current energy patterns for our own and the good of all.

Thur 29 Moon square Saturn late morning calls for serious consideration of what may be in our way, perhaps an emotional block that’s ready to dissolve. Luna’s shift into Cancer at 2:32 pm is preceded by about 2.5 hours void of course where staying with whatever Moon-Saturn brought up is advised before moving on. Afternoon and evening lunar aspects with Neptune, Pluto, Mars can be confusing and tense unless we’re taking good care with our own needs, not expecting others to do that for us We all have unprocessed feelings that must be honored.

Fri 30 Mercury-Jupiter have an uncomfortable meeting requiring an adjustment between cold rationalism and drowning in feelings. The clear mind meets the warm heart is be the optimal use of this aspect, helping us expand our sense of connection and compassion both near and far. Honestly articulating what’s going on with us leads to greater understanding all around, free of self-editing for fear of not being acceptable to others. Cancer Moon’s aspects through the day reiterate that theme.

Sat 31 Early morning to late afternoon Moon immersed in her own water sign flows through contacts with Chiorn, Uranus, Saturn enabling further healing and capacity to mend old rifts in close relationships, family, tribe, local community. Lunar shift to Leo 4:09 pm on the way to culmination tomorrow in face off with Sun. Care once again suggested in all encounters with power dynamics, inner and outer, situations turning unsavory or triggering negative feelings, baseless suspicions.

Sun Feb 1 Full Moon perfects 2:09 pm PST in extraordinary line up once again, this time the convergence of planets in futuristic, communitarian, liberation from the known Aquarius. This astrological event brings Luna opposite Pluto, Mars, Vesta, Sun, Venus, Mercury, a powerful coming together of players from inner Solar System to outer most reaches. Breakthroughs in multiple areas happening with the brilliance of fixed air sign and Pluto digging for buried treasur in a trine with Uranus the lightening bolt ruler of Aquarius. Earth rumblings most likely peaking where the energies are ready to release millenia of built up tension.
As well Uranus is gaining greater influence on us as it’s about to spin from months of retrograde to direct motion just 2 days later. All the electrical, enlightening and suddenly shifting energeis operate all around and through us making our earth and inner connection crucial Getting ready for or adapted to more shocks, surprises, amazing innovations is advised by tending to daily, even hourly, grounding and centering ourselves in present time and place. The Simplest practices support navigating the quick changing aspects of daily life, some of them life changing within a moment.
Moon’s tense quincunx with Juno extends the relationship challenges we’ve been undergoing. Wisest to respond in heart centered approaches, including compassion for all and permission for our own independent and unique explorations, expression and life path wherever we’ve encountered limitations.

Mon 2 Mercury-Chiron connect in a sextile with greater ability to articulate our suffering and offering tools, techniques, information to go deeper in the healing process. It’s Imbolc or Groundhog Day, cross quarter between Solstice and Equinox, a gateway in the yearly round. These portals where the cosmic-earlhly energies are at important turning points and best spent honoring the cycles of nature and our place within the planetary community of all beings. Moon enters Virgo in the evening for next 2 days of more earthy, hands on approaches to our work.

Tues 3 Uranus turning direct early evening is the big news, at the 28th degree of Ta**us, and will re-cross the Pleiades for last pass in April. As stated above this turning has lots of dynamic energies in motion, so especially crucial to stay present and open to the brilliance of the light it carries with its pivot along with the disruptive and stressful events.

Moon trine Jupiter offers sweet dreams to start the day January 22, inviting the expansion of what we dare to envision. Mercury the mischief maker is next in league with Pluto the excavator of long held secrets and hidden treasures. Together they reveal decidedly profound information, much of it in and from unexpected places. Breakthroughs in old and especially difficult problems likely this week particularly yesterday and today. It’s a gift to all those in our lives to foster their independence and capacity to take on their own ongoing issues.

Mars sextile Neptune strongly suggest empathy and compassion while implementing boundaries, as well with ourselves in requiring more self-discipline. They also remind us “ that both truth and illusion are poured upon us and it is we who choose from where we drink.” (Marcus Katz)

This is the Day 3I/Atlas has an astoundingly navigated face off with the Sun, which itself has been behaving in surface patterns we’ve not seen before. What these 2 have cooked up we’ll likely find out. I suspect, in my ongoing intuitive hits, this anomaly the scientists have their panties twisted up about is in some way “taking the temperature” of what Earth’s presence in the Solar System is creating. They continue to call it "just a comet" though does not fit their definition of comet at all.

January 17. 2026
Right now in mid-January as energies wild, optimistic and courageous meet with contrasting energies, disciplined, organized and intent on averting pessimism we remain strongly supported in navigating skillfully. But accountability for how we got here is one of the requirements to head into the rest of the year. On a clearer path, with more confidence and more effective and mutually beneficial alliances.

Pruning any areas of over commitment is a primary theme with a clearer focus on what remains that’s essential to most cherished goals and intentions. The astrological patterns for the remainder of 2026 light the way forward with a surge of new pathways opening, new inspirations, collaborators and the courage to claim all of it. Unapologetically, free of hesitation, this is the time for claiming our unique mission wholeheartedly.

Mapping our personal passage through the coming months is a powerful tool for optimizing the possibilities in such a rare and dynamic yearly round. When we look at and claim the most authentic aspects of self we can embody and offer to the world it inspires the discipline required of each of us to maintain the journey.

Major aspect power points of the year as they impact you includes 4 Eclipses, most relevant New and Full Moons, 3 Mercury retrogrades and Venus Retrograde. Also how the extraordinary outer planet line ups show up for you, igniting, empowering and mandating the big changes in progress.

AstroRain Report January 14 - 20
“The world around us is crumbling to make way for new life.”
(Richard Pryor)
Last week of the lunar cycle a day after the exact square between Mars and Chiron, volatile and motivating at the same time. Capricorn planets in conflict with Chiron and Eris in Aries this past week completing Thursday making a case for getting more organized around the main mission for the year ahead. As energies wild, optimistic and courageous meet with contrasting energies, disciplined, organized and intent on averting pessimism we remain strongly supported in navigating skillfully. But accountability for how we got here is one of the requirements to head into the rest of the year. On a clearer path, with more confidence and more effective and mutually beneficial alliances.

Wed 14 Mercury the Trickster and Traveler Between the Worlds opposing Jupiter the Explorer encourages looking beyond the horizon to the next destination. On all levels, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual Mercury-Jupiter expand our perceptions resulting in more nurturing, connecting visions. We’re urged to express ourselves through this lens and bypass for now the usual stresses, fears, concerns that can occupy so much of everyday life. As well Venus and Saturn team up in an amiable sextile endorsing that theme, favoring commitment to exactly what the heart beats for.
Meanwhile the forces aimed at more total control, fueling the all encompassing War Machine are hard at work to push us further down that road to hell. It’s what Chiron-Eris have been warning us about and yet another moment of truth arrives with the need for resistance in whatever ways we choose.“All acts of love and pleasure are my rituals” from traditional Charge of the Goddess is in the spirit of our life affirming response. The best resistance we can enact individually and together. Compassion, kindness, empathy, sense of humor along with the confidence to claim our own sovereignty as unique beings. These are the most revolutionary acts we can embody.
Mercury’s most crucial role these days has to do with its showing up in mischief and creative mayhem that counters the lockdown mentality of a floundering, fading old paradigm. Our orientation to this movement that shakes up the world, the “powers that be”, and business as usual that’s kept us more detached from our authentic, creative, inter-connecting wildness has never before been so important.

“ A trickster does not live near the hearth, he does not live in the halls of justice, the soldier’s tent, the shaman’s hut, the monastery. He passes through each of these when there is a moment of silence, and he enlivens each with mischief. But he is not their guiding spirit. He is the spirit of the doorway leading out, and of the crossroad at the edge of town (the one where a little maket springs up).”
Lewis Hyde: Trickster Makes This World

Thur 15 Sagittarius Moon starts the day in tension with Jupiter pulling for a shift combining independence, freedom of movement along with closer connection to those we share our lives with. How we claim and maintain personal sovereignty while being inter-dependent in aspects through the day with Chiron, Saturn and Uranus. It’s also signaling another stage in inter-connection within the global community. Venus trine Uranus and Mercury square Chiron in Aries bring new elements into relationships with necessity for clear and honest communication. Perceptions are more open to the deeper layers of all situations as Chiron has been urging us to honor our unique and universal experience. We are multi-dimensional beings. Our words can be healing or wounding.. Chiron’s offering helps us find the skillfulness where speaking out what must be said is free of anger, frustration or blame. Aries fire meets where Capricorn earth may have frozen emotions, ability to connect, mobility in body, mind, spirit, melting all those icy places.

Fri 16 Trickster Mercury’s square to Chiron still in effect calls for taking a few breaths before reacting or better yet responding to whatever’s going on. This meeting brings up that mischievous aspect of Mercury in the face of all aggression, violence, brutality. Universal outrage carries with it a power the war mongers haven’t bargained on, and have worked hard to suppress. For all of us caution is advised in all conversations, messages, and movements. Capricorn Moon has arrived adding lunar influence to planets in the cardinal earth sign requiring order and accountability; Juno, Mars, Mercury, Sun and Venus. All that Capricorn may generate tendencies to pessimism, feelings of being unconnected if we aren’t mindful of our own state of being.

Sat Jan 17 Sun trine Uranus begins a larger process of release from what holds us back, collectively and personally while Venus enters Aquarius the sign of liberation Uranus rules. The mission becomes even more about diving into new and experimental ways of approaching all that we’re seriously committed to. Certainly that includes relationships and alliances of all kinds. Also financial matters take prominence as changes are in the works, making it especially important for awareness in that area, readiness to make needed adjustments.

Sun 18 Mars, Mercury, Sun, Moon line up in potent earthy conjunction in Capricorn, creating a stellium of planetary energies at the New Moon 11:52 am PST. They’re also joined by Venus, Pluto and Vesta in early degrees of Aquarius adding more fresh insights, mandates for innovation while breaking free of the old, tired ways of getting things done. As well Jupiter in Cancer, still retrograde, opposes the Capricorn planets amplifying the need to take great care with our own needs. Everything in family, self care, relationships, work and career matters as we fine tune commitments by first pruning away what usn’t fueling our highest intentions, aligning with core values. Capricorn planets all part of the dynamic, liberating trine with Divine Lightening Bolt Uranus. This amplifies high frequencies in all areas, inspiring humanitarian values universally and insisting on greater stewardship of the biosphere that give us life, nurturance and experiences of exquisite beauty. Earth’s response to human imbalances in the biosphere, Uranus in Ta**us has been assuring us, continue to rock the world uninterrupted for many years.
Continuing the outer planet connections from this lunation is a sextile with Saturn-Neptune getting ready for their once in 6,ooo years coming together next month at first degree of Aries. This aspect cautions us to let go as never before, of all that weighs us down, blocks our sense of joy, creativity and gratitude for the life we’re given. So much needs to be cleared now, some of which will most likely challenge us in releasing the familiar but non-productive, non-supporting, non-nurturing elements of our lives. There may be tears but we must let them flow if needed as Neptune-Saturn offer this remedy for moving on. We’re invited to check in deeply as we let go for what dreams are emerging that we may have suppressed or are new dreams being born.
Chiron-Eris create a conflict inciting square with Sun-Moon-Mercury-Mars pushing us to go beyond pain and frustration and be present wherever the sacred warrior within us is needed most. This can be personally, and surely in the larger realm of social justice where right now we’re all called to take a stand one way or another. Or not, our choice always. This square presents powerful challenges to current authorities, those in charge of the massive death and destruction going on in our world. Volatility in the air, violence erupting in even bigger ways and/or in surprising places. In our own lives we may need to work harder in maintaining equanimity, practicing compassion and staying grounded. The Capricorn structures are falling to make way for a major re-birth.

Mon 19 Sun enters Aquarius for the month ahead as the next planet to create a mass line up in that sign which will have peak impact at next New Moon, a Solar Eclipse. Venus joins Pluto emphasizing all manifestations of female power, arising feminine values in the transformation of human societies Happening around the world and being ignored or lied about by western nations desperate to keep this movement out of the halls of power this begins yet another stage. Individually this fuels the mission to create relationships based on honoring each person’s unique path. And will let us know quite emphatically where they need work or that it’s time to let go.Saturn and Mars dance with Uranus today with support for leaving “shoulds and shouldn't’s” behind in creating the life we were born for. Experiences are pointing to where and how to free ourselves from obligations no longer belonging to us.

Tues Jan 20 Mercury next enters Aquarius as Trickster gets in our faces over coming weeks about false thinking and beliefs and where they trip us up. Full permission in this phase for working our own mischief around the divisive and destructive narrations going around designed to misinform, confuse and keep us all from seeing what’s right in front of us. Changes are sorely needed and in the works, the more experimental. innovative and out of bounds we can go the better!
