Tune into the astrological trends of February 2025 with Kerry's monthly Vedic astrology forecast. February feels like a backstage moment, with the anticipation of the big play building up. With the outer planets preparing to shift signs from March through May, February is our time to practice, prepare, take stock, and adjust plans.

SUN: Sun moves from Capricorn to Aquarius on February 12th. Both signs are Saturn’s territory, the Sun’s known enemy. This is a tussle between what about me and what about everyone. Rather than shifting blame, practice detachment when you feel that ego swell.


MOON: The full Moon at the last degree of Cancer on February 12th brings us maximum light and realizations that help us find our landing direction as we crest the tipping point. The waning Moon during late February joins the Sun in Aquarius on February 27th, asking us to clean our containers, align our desires, and mentally prepare for big changes ahead.

MARS: Retrograde Mars has returned to Gemini, which could feel like a series of minor implosions as we re-visit earlier situations, but from a different perspective. Mars resumes direct motion on February 23rd, when we have the chance to change course and re-focus our agendas.

MERCURY: Mercury is on the bounce in February. His upward sprint through Capricorn tops out on February 11th, when he enters Aquarius for a quick transit past Saturn, urging us to tighten belts and slow down. On February 27th, Mercury enters Pisces until May 6th for a long stretch to cover the upcoming shakedown that ramps up in March.

JUPITER: As lord of the water sign, Pisces, retrograde Jupiter has been adrift in Taurus, reflecting the sloshing of transiting Rahu in Pisces. Clear guidance has been hard to come by for the past few months. On February 4th, Jupiter regains direct motion, which could lead to new resolutions and directions.

VENUS: Venus entered Pisces on January 28th for an extended stay, through May 31st. Venus and Mercury will hover in Jupiter’s final water sign together, each going retrograde and facilitating the outer planets’ upcoming shifts. This is a call for grace and compassion at the highest levels.

SATURN: Saturn’s final months in Aquarius are here; mid-February will see Mercury and Sun passing into Saturn’s realm, urging us reorganize our relationships with both personal responsibility and transactional expectations. Now is a good time to take stock of what has worked in the long term, and to prospect about what to carry forward for the next round of investments.

Tune into the astrological trends of January 2025 with Kerry's monthly Vedic astrology forecast. As we turn the page on the calendar year, we are looking ahead to a dynamic Spring with all of the outer planets poised to shift. It’s time to tap into inner guidance systems and take stock of what to pack with you going forward. Read or listen to the full forecast at https://www.planetaryinfluence.com/forecasts/2025/Jan

NINE PLANETS SUMMARY

SUN: The new year always sees the Sun moving through the warm and buoyant sign of Sagittarius through mid-January, which could feel slightly deflated this year with Jupiter retrograde. On January 13th the Sun moves to Capricorn for a month, urging us to stay commited to our dreams and visions even though the going may be tough.

MOON: The first full Moon of 2025 comes on January 13th in the last degree of Gemini, pushing us to find our own inner light when the outer roads seems dark and confusing. The Sun and Moon join for the new Moon in Capricorn on January 29th, suggesting that we settle in, quiet down, and listen up.

MARS: Mars continues in retrograde motion, pulling our power cords and forcing strategies that may confound us. On January 21st, Mars moves back into Mercury’s air sign of Gemini, scattering us into brainstorm mode when it comes to making ends meet and transactions complete. Foster curiosity and avoid knee jerk reactions.

MERCURY: Mercury represents our intelligence and capacity for learning and practicing skills. January sees Mercury in a good position to help us find the positives in our lesson plans as he transits Sagittarius. Quickly assess, discard what doesn’t fit, and integrate what does.

JUPITER: Jupiter’s final month in retrograde motion through Venus’ earth sign of Taurus will be January 2025. While positivity may be hard to harvest, both Mars and Jupiter’s retrograde motion are pulling us into a more intuitive response pattern that ultimately offers easy access to our internal control panel. When the answers don’t appear on the screen, close those eyes and see what you find inside.

VENUS: Venus joins Saturn in Aquarius for most of January. The creatrix Venus inspires innovation built on tried and true foundations. Begin to lay tracks toward long term creative projects and relationships.

SATURN: Saturn’s time treading through own territories is coming to a close after five years. Feeling the humble position of square one after building and rebuilding, look forward at what is possible based on where you stand now. Practice detachment from habits that hold you back.

RAHU: Rahu’s boat-rocking energy continues to bob and float in Pisces, vibrating through all of the water signs by aspect. Rahu’s alone time at sea is about to shift, with the inner planets beginning to filter in by late January. Now is a good time to find some quiet time and figure out what you want. What you really want. Make the intention of refining that information as it comes in.

KETU: Reorganize your beliefs about mental and physical intelligence, about intuition and instinct, and about how to bring peace to your body and mind. Open up to practices and treatments that help you realign to what feels healthy. Ketu is in Virgo to help you find those elusive answers through May 2025.

Tune into the astrological trends of November 2024 with Kerry's monthly Vedic astrology forecast.With the deep rumblings of big changes ahead, November draws us inward to clean house, take out the trash, and test drive new ideas before launching. Read or listen to the full forecast.

SUN: The Sun reflects our individual expression and moves from the idea realm to the workshop on November 15th. Early November, we may be focused on social activities, performance, and collaboration with Sun in Libra. When Sun moves to Scorpio mid-month, get engaged for action as the rubber hits the road.

MOON: November sees a new Moon on both its first and last day. Sun and Moon join in Libra on November 1st and then in Scorpio on November 30th, indicating that this month may feel full of starting over and re-set buttons. In between, the full Moon in Aries on November 15th shows us the light and the road ahead.

MARS: Mars spends all of November in the watery sign of Cancer, forcing the powerful master of fire to slog and slosh through shifting waters of emotional sensitivity. This is a great opportunity to delve into emotions like anger and aggression, discovering the vulnerabilities that lie beneath them such that reparations can be made.

MERCURY: Mercury bounces through Scorpio all month, with a retrograde cycle from November 25th to December 15th. November is for deep analysis, doing the math, and communicating difficult things. Fixing things below the surface is crucial at this time!

JUPITER: Jupiter continues in retrograde motion through Venus' earth sign, Taurus. Give away what you don't want and feel the spaciousness of dissolving that which is past. This is a time for gratitude and humbly bowing toward our desire to become more than we are now.

VENUS: Venus manages the relationship department, which could have been a bit chaotic in October. November 6th sees Venus moving into Sagittarius, invoking an exchange of signs with Jupiter through month's end, bringing a twist that looks positive and rejuvenating.

SATURN: Saturn's deliberate pressure may reappear as he resumes direct motion on November 15th, adding spice to the several shifts we see mid-month. Going forward, choose where to take responsibility and put your determination to work as you move toward your goal.

RAHU: Rahu continues to make waves and rock boats in November. With Mars' power concentrated in Cancer where Rahu's gaze does extend, watch out for water element with excess power and energy. Keep the life vest in reach and higher ground in sight.

KETU: The intuitive and mystical Ketu continues to sit in Virgo, receiving the expansive aspect of Jupiter and enjoying some movement due to Mercury's transit through Scorpio. This is a good time to uncover hidden clues and obscure information that leads to liberating solutions.

Tune into the astrological trends of October 2024 with Kerry's monthly Vedic astrology forecast. The theme this month is confronting obstacles and surrendering to transformation. Read or listen to the full forecast at https://www.planetaryinfluence.com/forecasts/2024/Oct

SUN: The solar eclipse in Virgo on October 2nd kicks off the month, closing one door and opening another. Self analysis will help with finding your next steps. The Sun moves to Libra on October 16th, setting us up for creative expression and rebalancing relationships.

MOON: The new Moon in Virgo on October 2nd results in a solar eclipse that allows us to remove blocks after receiving information that helps us to regard situations from a different perspective. The full Moon in Aries on October 17th encourages us to make moves and initiate actions that support us through deep transformation.

MARS: Mars moves from Gemini to Cancer on October 20th, moving our focus from theory to practice as we test newly learned skills. The watery and emotional environment challenges the precision and focus of Mars who relies on clear plans and available resources to execute his actions.

MERCURY: As ruler of the communication and health departments, Mercury moves away from his powerful position in Virgo on October 10th,where he facilitated seeing through blocks and finding a way forward. His quick dash through Libra from October 10 – 29 could help us reorganize and rejuvenate in the background while we are also doing big things on the main stage.

JUPITER: Jupiter enters a four month retrograde cycle on October 9th that may feel like the tides have changed, ebb or flow dependent on personal circumstances. The normal markers of growth or well being may shift during this time, making it confusing to know which way to grow. Fall back on fundamental reasons when doubt arises.

VENUS: Lovely Venus is also taking things from the drawing board to building site, which often involves a bit of demolition and removal to make a clean slate for new creations; this shift happens on October 12th, when vital Venus moves from her own sign of Libra into Mars' less comfortable zone of Scorpio.

SATURN: Saturn continues to occupy his own territory of Aquarius in retrograde motion, which can destabilize Saturn, giving us a chance to move a bit faster and with a lighter step, even when we're doing the hard work. Saturn's reminder is to take responsibility for what's yours and to let others take care of what is theirs, maintaining healthy boundaries so that togetherness doesn't become oppressive.

RAHU: Rahu continues to make waves such that we are being shown the truth in the troughs that has been hidden underwater until now. With the newfound data, we may be shifting our direction based on recently discovering or allowing latent desires to express themselves.

KETU: The solar eclipse of October 2nd gives some folks in the world a rare sighting of Ketu, notorious for the shadowy business of blockages and obstacles in the material realm. Even more glorious is Ketu's association with ascending into the freedom of spirit. What will you do with your newfound liberation?

MOON: The New Moon in Leo on September 2nd pulls us inward to pause, cleanse, and re-set. The full Moon of September 17th in Pisces will fall under a partial eclipse, challenging our perceptions but revealing the inner wisdom that leads to our true desires.
