Moon Contemplation

We are proud to announce the 2025 edition of our monthly astrology meet-ups starts this March! This year, we are going back to the original format of 12 dates over the course of the year, each elected to provide the perfect context for reflecting on the season (meaning the Moon will always be in the same sign as the Sun for these sessions). 

All who are interested in the art of Astrology, we invite you to put down your fancy apps and look up towards the sky. Our forebears were able to viscerally intuit the vast network of insights and influences that sky country is constantly reflecting down onto Earth. Let’s claim our inheritance and hone our skills by attempting to actually feel and sense what is happening in the sky.

One easy way to learn more about Astrology is to track the movements of the Moon. As she circles the entire Zodiac every month, visiting every sign – and thereby also making every possible aspect and placement therein, we can compile our monthly observations, which allows us to comprehend notable characteristics and signatures of any celestial placements. We will make use of this perpetual cycle and attempt to glean what we can by checking in on her once a month.

Our meet-ups involve a quick update on the current weather, then we orient ourselves towards the Moon’s physical position and attempt a receptive sensing and inner participation with what we find there, then we end with free range feedback and discussion.

Moon Contemplation

On Friday, March 28th, 2025, The Moon trines Mars, then conjoins Saturn, then conjoins the North Node, then conjoins Venus retrograde, then conjoins Neptune, then enters Aries and then conjoins Mercury retrograde. 

Seven aspects in one day and then an eclipse the next day...

Maybe we should get together and talk about it.
