Going Down? Cryptocurrency arrived in our collective awareness with Uranus in Taurus. Now that Uranus is stationed direct and leaving the sign, crypto is tanking. We're likely to see the 'end result' as Uranus enters Taurus in April. Meantime, you want a 'currency' that drops 40% in 4 months?

Did I Say That? As Cosmic Communicator Mercury squares stationed Uranus, midweek is likely to see some very direct, frank, and surprising messages delivered loud and clear. Say what you need, no more. Careful driving, too. Sleep may be hard this week, full moon + Uranus combo = restless nights.

Revolving... Today's Uranus station to go direct fills us with a need for independence, freedom, and change. Mix it up, do your own thing - but remember that other folks will be doing their thing, too, so cooperation may be hard to come by. Keep an eye on changes in the collective.

Roar: Tonight's the Leo Full Moon, always the Party Moon of the year. Well, it's Sunday, so maybe things will be a little toned down, but it's still a great energy for socializing, play, creativity, and romance. It also falls in Imbolc, the midseason festival. Have you noticed the Sun's changes?

Hot... 2026 isn't letting up on the intensity, obviously. With Neptune now in fiery Aries, things are heating up. The past week has seen the Sun and Mars meeting with Pluto in Aquarius, sparking contention and violence. Yet the Aquarian vibe shouts 'power to the people', and outcomes are uncertain.

Prickly... As the Sun ticks through the last few minutes of Capricorn and heads into Aquarius, we may feel some tension over the next few days. Both Sol and Venus have to meet with Pluto before really enjoying the open air of Aquarius. Watch for power struggles, especially at the collective level.

Crescent... The waning Moon is in Capricorn. On Saturday, wrap up any outstanding work projects, and take care of household chores. Chill for the rest of the weekend, but come Monday, start thinking about your work/career goals for the coming year.

Loud and Clear: Mercury opposes Jupiter today, opening up an opportunity to say what needs to be said, but also bringing a tendency to say too much. Some folks will use the cosmic energy to go off on a rant. Watch out for blowhards who only want to hear the sound of their own voices.

In the heart of the Sun... Mars and Venus are back 'within bounds' this week, and they are also cazimi, or "in the heart of the Sun". Opposite Jupiter, Sun, Venus & Mars are inflating egos and offering determined but perhaps impulsive actions. Venus is there to negotiate, so try a little diplomacy.

New Year's Revolutions: We begin 2026 with 4 planets out of bounds and the Cancer Full Moon. It's not a quiet start to the year, and 2026 will present many changes. It's revolutionary, but remember that means to 'revolve', and what rises at one time falls at another. See beyond surface changes.

A look at the first month of 2026... from an astrological perspective armanddiaz.com/out-of-bound...

Out of Bounds... We end 2025 and begin 2026 with Moon, Mercury, Venus, & Mars all "out of bounds". Planets OOB tend to act both forcefully and erratically, so the New Year should start with a lot of energy. They stay OOB until the Full Moon on Jan 3, so celebrations - and lunacy - will continue.

Darkness and Light: As we approach the Capricorn Solstice, the solar power is at its ebb. This year, it coincides with the Sag New Moon, so both the solar and lunar energies are in retreat. It's up to us to bring our own light, in Christmas lights, Hannukah & Kwanza candles, and our own inner light.

Hot Air? As we wane into Friday's New Moon, we have lots of Fire in the sky, with the Sun, Venus, and Mercury all in Sagittarius. Only Pluto offers any Air, and that might not be the freshest. Folks could polarize around beliefs without checking facts or listening to others' perspectives.

Neptune Above... As Neptune stations to go direct at midweek, it's a great time to get lost in a fantasy, listen to music, go for a long walk, meditate, and let serendipity rule. Practical stuff, not so much.

A Few Surprises... As the Moon waxes towards tomorrow's energetic Gemini Full Moon, she first opposes newly direct Mercury and then passes by Uranus at the end of Taurus. Expect the unexpected and some changes of plans. The grand trine in Water signs helps soothe and smooth things over.

Fast Enough: Mercury has spun around to go direct, ending his retrograde. Don't rush out to do Mercurial things - give the Cosmic Messenger a few days to get up to speed. That might be a little challenging as the waxing Fiery Aries Moon is inclined to give us a little push forward.

Some Effort Required... This very Saturnian week begins with the just-waxing Capricorn Moon. Don't push too hard. Take care of routine tasks and ease into the workweek. Delays and hesitations may be part of the picture, with both Saturn and Mercury stationing. Still, Saturn appreciates effort.

Surfing: We wax out of the new moon quickly this month, as the Sun opposes Uranus before leaping into Sagittarius. The Water Grand Trine is still active, so what do we do with so much jangly emotional energy? Surf! Handle things as they come up, respond with flexibility, and be ready for surprises.

Cooperation... Get it while you can. The waning Libra Moon is void to start the week, so take care of routine matters - it's no time to start something new.

Watery... The Sun (Scorpio), Jupiter (Cancer) and Saturn (Pisces) form a Watery grand trine as the weekend bends towards the new week. Great for processing and releasing emotions in a safe space. Enjoy the mellow vibe along with the waning Moon: by midweek we'll feel a more charged energy.

To Each, His Own... Or, "there's no accounting for taste"

(Over?)Inflated... Jupiter stations to retrograde on Tuesday, infusing us with optimism and faith in the future. Of course, everyone feels the energy and a certain amount of hot air could be involved in the uplifting feel. Overindulgence is an additional caveat, but overall, enjoy the vibe!

Home and Hearth: This weekend's Cancer Moon keeps us closer to home. It's likely to feel good to be in familiar environs after a tense week in the skies. With 6 of 10 major planets in Water signs it's time to (re)connect with emotions. Mercury retrogrades, so watch for communication & travel snafus.

Crusaders... Mars enters Sagittarius today, where is ready to fight for his (or maybe any) beliefs. His first task is an opposition to Uranus in Gemini, so expect impulsive action, and many people to be on short fuses for the next few days. We're approaching the full moon & Mercury retrograde, too.

Live Wire: The week begins with tense energy as Mars opposes Uranus. Think "impulsive" or "unpredictable action." Many folks will be on a short fuse for the next few days, so take care with anyone who seems spoiling for a fight. Monday folks may be reactive as Mars swims through the end of Scorpio.

Abundance... Venus squares Jupiter as we approach the Taurus full moon this week. Technically a tense aspect, Venus & Jupiter are BFFs and both are in dignity at present. Great for socializing & romance, the only risk is 'too much of a good thing'. Enjoy the weekend, tense energies resume next week.

Like a Square Pig in a Round Hole... Words may be fiery and feisty over the next few days, as Mercury opposes Uranus. Saying what you think and feel are pretty much assured. Innovation is part of the mix, along with breaking out of the box and exploring otherwise strange ideas and new concepts.

This weekend the upbeat Sag Moon invites us to let serendipity rule: do some exploring, if only in your mind. Later on Sunday, as Luna steps into work-oriented Capricorn, we may start thinking about the coming week and our responsibilities. It's going to be a very charged time, so get some rest now.

Think you know Pluto? (the cartoon character, that is) armanddiaz.com/the-other-pl...

Rulers & rulers... The Libra New Moon at the very last degree of the sign suggests that we follow protocol and use diplomacy. Yet as soon as the Sun and Moon meet, they wade into the dark waters of Scorpio and square Pluto in Aquarius. Who really has the power? And what are they doing with it? 🤔

In the details... The waning Virgo Moon encourages finishing up projects and/or attending to routine tasks as we head into the weekend. House chores aren't out of the question, either 🤷‍♂️. Yet Luna next to her South Node early on Friday suggests we could hyper-focus & miss the forest for the trees.

Tense: This morning, the Moon moves into Leo, offering us some warm Fire in otherwise cool skies. First, though, Luna has to contend with an opposition to Pluto. There may be some tensions, and some of us may be on a short fuse. Still, as the day moves on we can expect a more upbeat vibe.

Why I didn't brush my teeth this morning.

Less is More (more or less) As we round out the work week, we're coming down from the high activity of this week's full moon. Luna is in Earthy Taurus, connecting with Jupiter and Saturn. Productive if you're feeling for it, and good for general enjoyment of the everyday.

Spooky? The Aries Full Moon can bring to light our competitive sides, as well as sparking passions (of all kinds). It's an upbeat energy that asks us to suspend our Libran manners for a couple of days and enjoy 'doing your own thing'.

Work At It... At mid-week, the waxing Capricorn Moon suggests we work. (Mostly) harmonious aspects should help. As we bend towards the weekend, take some time for yourself.

Upbeat... After a rather tense week, this weekend offers a more upbeat energy, thanks in part to the high-flying Sagittarius Moon. With lots of planets in Air signs, communication should be easy, and Sag always likes to socialize.

Feeling Prickly... At midweek, we're feeling the tense energy of the Moon & Mars in Scorpio squaring Pluto. At the individual & collective levels we may see increased irritability & power struggles. A grand trine in Air (Sun, Uranus, Pluto) suggests innovative diplomatic solutions are possible.

Spun Around... Uranus is encouraging Venus to break things up (and out), to try something (or someone) new, as he squares her from sociable Gemini. But the goddess of love is in Virgo, where a more reserved vibe prevails. Plus, the Sun opposes Saturn at the solar eclipse. Fun or frustration?

Moving Inward... As we approach Sunday's solar eclipse in Virgo, we may feel the energy pulling inward, with a potentially heavy, Saturnian vibe. Reflect on the past month, since the first Virgo New Moon: what has met your expectations, and where were there surprises?

Go Fly A Kite... A rare kite formation isn't the only harmonious configuration in the skies this week, as Venus and Mars form a helpful sextile. Consider this a break between eclipses. With the Moon waning in Cancer (and meeting Jupiter), wrap up work and take some time for yourself.

Harvesting... We end the work with a productive vibe as the waning Taurus Moon forms a sextile with Saturn. Finish up what needs to be done, because later on Friday Luna two-steps into Gemini and meets with revolutionary Uranus. Get out and socialize, but break out of routines. Try something new.

Burning the midnight oil... As we approach the full moon lunar eclipse and Uranus station, it may be hard to sleep. Buzzy internal chatter is annoying, but may hold some brilliant insights. Freedom and independence are the keywords for the next few days, do your own thing: but let others do theirs.

The Productive Use of Hot Air... Today's first quarter Sag Moon offers an upbeat vibe for the weekend. Get out and explore a little. Watch out for surprises early on as Luna opposes Uranus.
