Kelly's Astrology Podcast

Mars will be retrograde from December 6 to February 23. Mars will start its retrograde period in Leo and then move back into Cancer in early January.   This will give the next few months a sense of stalled progress or sluggish movement. In general, Mars retrograde is a great time to review how you express your needs and wants and how you assert yourself. Cards will also oppose Pluto to add some power dynamics to the mix. Check out this episode to see how the relatively rare ‘backwards’ movement of Mars will affect you! Kelly’s next live webinar is on January 4 and covers some of the major transits and trends for 2025. This 90-minute overview gives you a look at all of the major astro weather for the year ahead.

A planetary retrograde is when a planet appears to be moving ‘backwards’ to someone observing it in the sky. Mercury does this three or four times per year.  In this episode, Kelly discusses Mercury’s retrograde cycle in combination with other influences such as planetary dignity, aspects, or sign placement, or Mercury’s influence on your individual chart.  Join Kelly as she takes a fresh look at this relatively common condition for Mercury and puts the current Mercury retrograde into context.

This Full Moon in Taurus highlights themes of sensuality and helps us connect to the world of pleasure and leisure. It’s a great time to soak in that Taurus energy and focus on nourishing the body. The influence of the Earth element on both Venus, the ruler of this Full Moon, and Taurus, the sign of the Full Moon, places a focus on sensible, reasonable, and realistic choices. This Full Moon in Taurus is also conjunct Uranus, which may bring unpredictability, upheaval and change to the forefront. It might leave you feeling restless and bored with your day-to-day routines and structures and encourage a change to how you have done things in the past and a curiosity about how things could be different in the future.  If you’re curious about what lies ahead for you in 2025, check out Kelly’s ‘Plan Your Year Ahead: 2025’.

Intensity and depth of emotions are the themes as the Sun enters Scorpio.  Mars is in Cancer to start Scorpio season and this brings a little more tenderness, sensitivity, and defensiveness to the Sun in Scorpio.  Mercury trine Saturn is a big help to long-range planning and exploring feelings.  Join Kelly for her annual ‘Personal Predictions 2025’ weekend workshop in Palm Springs at the end of January 2025.

This fiery Full Moon in Aries highlights action, activity, and impatience. Careful, it might also bring anger and frustration to the surface. It is a time where you’re more likely to focus on what you need and less on what might work for others.  The Full Moon squares Mars, which enhances points of friction and may result in having to navigate a difficult situation with others. It also provides a spark of courage or passion if needed.

This solar, or New Moon Eclipse in Libra is about endings. The influence of the South Node on this eclipse will highlight themes of releasing and purging.
