This week, we’re at the tail end of the Year of the Snake, moving through an eclipse portal, entering the pre-shadow of Mercury Retrograde, and now experiencing the major shift of Saturn into Aries. All of this is setting the stage for big change.

When life feels this shaky, grounding yourself in simple, everyday joy really matters. This is a reminder to enjoy normal life moments, celebrate what’s here now, and let yourself breathe. The energy around Valentine’s Day is especially lovely, with Venus moving into Pisces and bringing softness, romance, and emotional connection. Our values are shifting, away from hustle and toward what actually nourishes us.

The biggest astrological event this week is Saturn moving into Aries on Friday the 13th. Saturn represents karma and divine timing, while Aries is the spark of new beginnings. Together, they mark the start of a new, fated chapter in our lives, one that asks for courage and commitment.

Saturn in Aries is uncomfortable energy, and that’s the point. Saturn moves slowly; Aries wants immediate action. That tension can bring frustration, but it also wakes us up. This transit challenges old structures and exposes what isn’t working anymore. It’s a reset, and while we don’t know exactly what will fall or rise, change is inevitable.

On a personal level, this shows up strongly in our work and life direction. Many people are at turning points, ready to pivot and build something more aligned and lasting. As we prepare to enter the Year of the Fire Horse, this is a powerful time to clear physical and energetic clutter, simplify commitments, and get intentional with money and abundance. Stay present, notice what’s ending, honor what’s beginning, and trust that this moment is leading you somewhere meaningful.
