New Astrology Video: Mercury Stations Retrograde in Aries 2025

What’s Happening
Once again I’ve joined fellow astrologer and friend Liz Muschett on The Astrology Star Sisters show to talk about this week’s Mercury station retrograde in Aries. More about this new astrology video in a moment, but first an announcement:

I’ve been taking a break from live events for a couple of months, and will continue with a more pared-down live event schedule moving forward. However, I do have an event scheduled for the end of April:
PNW Witches’ Market Fourth Annual Beltane Festival in Kirkland, Washington state, on April 27th, 2025
I know that for some people in-person readings are preferable so live events continue to be the best way to connect with clients who prefer that modality, and I will continue to schedule select live events for that purpose in 2025. However, for those who enjoy readings over Zoom my books are currently open for online astrology and Tarot readings, so if you’re looking for clarity around how the cosmic weather is impacting you, schedule your appointment for a reading now!
New Astrology Video
Mercury stationed retrograde in Aries on Friday while still in a conjunction with Venus retrograde, challenging us to reconsider how we assert our ideas and communicate our intentions to others, and whether or not we are actually enjoying the process.
This Mercury station comes the day after a Total Lunar Eclipse in Mercury-ruled Virgo, which may have felt jarring to some of us, as the Moon represents the body in medical astrology, and Virgo can signify the impact of our thoughts on our physical well-being. With the Moon trine Uranus in Taurus during that eclipse, some of us may feel a bit burnt out or like our nerves have been fried in the wake of that event, so taking time to rest and recharge is important. Change is in the air, but first we have to let go of the need for perfection.
There’s a lot going on in the sky these days, with a big stellium in Pisces adding to the confusion, and all the ways in which our thoughts and information get unnecessarily complicated are highlighted now. This is a time to read the fine print and allow extra time for surprises in travel, commerce, and data management.
Fellow astrologer Liz Muschett brought me back to The Astrology Star Sisters show recently to talk about this retrograde cycle. Please give us a listen and let us know what you think!

There’s a lot going on in the skies right now, so Liz and I will be doing more astrology videos to further explain what’s going on in the astrological weather during this Pisces-heavy spring. I’ll post another video from The Astrology Star Sisters here soon, as Liz and I are joined by fellow astrologer and medium Justin Crockett Elzie to talk about this year’s Vernal Equinox. Stay tuned!
