I believe that the entire universe is in a giant conspiracy for our ultimate well-being, if we can listen to its promptings. All of my work and writings are aimed at helping you listen to this inner guidance.
I have been a professional astrologer for over forty years and have conducted over 25,000 astrology consultations, helping clients find their core strengths and to navigate through difficult transitions. I have a Master of Science degree in “Experimental Metaphysics” from Central Washington University (1982) and have written nine books on metaphysical topics from Astrology, meditation, and the chakras.

This week’s astrology forecast: January 6th – 12th
Message for the week:
The week starts with Mars (the warrior) retrograding back into Cancer. Mars heats up and activates the sign it is in. Cancer is your emotions and what you need to feel safe. Emotions run hot with this transit, and with Mars being retrograde (backward) old emotional wounds you thought you were through can get activated and need to be processed to let go of.
It is not wrong to pull away from an argument, if you feel the need to have some time to process your feelings before engaging.
You may feel confused early in the week with Mercury in an annoying square to illusionary Neptune, before clarity returns with Mercury moving into pragmatic Capricorn on Wednesday—it might be best to put off important decisions or launching new endeavors until mid-week.
The energy is softened with Venus (love and values) having moved into soft hearted Pisces and Mars moving into a flowing trine to Neptune—enhancing compassion and romance. The Sun is also moving into a beneficial trine to innovative Uranus this weekend, fortifying confidence in moving forward.
Monday: You may feel excited to jump into this day with the Moon in enthusiastic Aries sextile to optimistic Jupiter. Your patience may get tested this afternoon while the Moon is in a square to the Sun. Mars retrogrades back into Cancer today, making everyone feel more emotionally defensive. This calls for emotional regulation—monitor yourself before acting on anger.
Tuesday: The Moon starts the day in Aries trine to Mercury and square Mars—good ideas abound, but don’t get pushy with them. The Moon enters determined Taurus this afternoon square to eruptive Pluto, triggering a strong resistance to anything you don’t want to do. A lovely evening is in store with the Moon in a stimulating sextile to romantic Venus.
Wednesday: A smooth and productive day is available with Mercury entering industrious Capricorn and the Moon in steadfast Taurus in harmony with both the Sun and Saturn. A good day to get your plans in order and then set about doing them with little distractions.
Thursday: You might want to keep a notepad with you this morning to capture all the great ideas you get so they don’t become like whistles on the wind, with the Moon in Taurus conjunct genius-like Uranus. A smooth day unfolds with harmonious, supportive aspects to inspired Neptune and assertive Mars. The ideas keep flowing this evening with the Moon entering Gemini in a flowing trine to Pluto, enhancing deep, insightful communications with others.
Friday: You may feel pulled in too many directions this morning when the Moon is in variety-loving Gemini square to Venus. A bountiful afternoon with the Moon joining abundant Jupiter, bringing almost too many positive options for the evening. However, the Moon squares “let’s be realistic” Saturn this evening, forcing you to choose.
Saturday: A good day to allow for serendipity, with the Moon in open minded and inquisitive Gemini—head into the day and see what happens. You may feel a little spacey this afternoon while the Moon squares other worldly Neptune—good time for a nap? Foodies will love the Moon entering Cancer this evening, when a scrumptious meal with close ones hits the spot.
Sunday: Mars is trine to Neptune today, activating inspired actions—romantics and creative types will love this infusion of cosmic energy and everyone will love being entertained. You may feel at odds with what you want to do and what you should do this morning, while the Moon is in emotionally sensitive Cancer opposite Mercury. One of the best days for romance and socializing is available with the Moon moving into harmonious trines to romantic Venus and stabilizing Saturn.
Astrology for 2025: A Year Like No Other
A Zoom presentation with David Pond
January 30th, 2025 - Thursday 6-7:30 PM PT $35.00
(The presentation will be recorded for later viewing)
2025 promises to be a year like no other, with every planet changing signs, calling for a shift of approach to every area of your life. The year starts off with the same volatile energy that was present during the election with the 2nd Mars opposition to Pluto occurring January 3rd. Then the cosmic accelerator gets pressed with Saturn and Neptune both moving from Pisces and into Aries, as well as Uranus shifting from Taurus to Gemini. This shift from the feminine (yin) Earth and Water signs to the masculine (yang) Fire and Air will accelerate everything. We will explore the impacts of this changing energy on the world and how to align with this quickened energy in our own lives. Suitable for all levels.
