Welcome 2024 in style, Sages. This year is going to be a great time of adventure, fun and joy for the Archers out there. With eclipses, full Moons, New Moons and a couple of planet retrogrades lined up in your sign, your home is going to be a place of happening through the year. These planetary events would influence your prospects for the year, hopefully in a positive sense.
As the year 2024 starts, Mercury would be in retrograde phase which was initiated on December 13, 2023 in the sign of Capricorn. Then on Tuesday, January 02, Mercury turns direct in your sign of Sagittarius. With this, you are once again free to sign contracts, schedule important meets, and make major decisions or initiate purchases. After about a quarter-year period, there would be a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse that occurs in your 11th house of Libra on Monday, March 25. With a lunar eclipse in your 11th , your friendships would be put to test. There would be a culmination of your romantic relationship or creative pursuits. Shortly after a two-week period the second of the pair of eclipses, namely a total solar eclipse happens in Aries your 5th house on Monday, April 08. An eclipse in your 8th house makes you unique and it would be a wake-up call to seize the period with your creative abilities and love pursuits. The emphasis would also be on children-related events and speculative deals. To follow, there is the Full Moon in your sign of Sagittarius on Thursday, May 23. Full Moon in Sagittarius would ask you to reflect on your knowledge- base and adventure. This Full Moon would be a time for celebration or indulgence of sorts for the natives too.
After a lull of about a quarter, there would be a Partial Lunar Eclipse in your 4th house of Pisces on Wednesday, September 18. The 4th house is the house of domestic affairs and hence the focus would be issues related to home and domestic happiness. This is also the house of karma and would be a good time to focus on where you are treading towards. This is followed by an Annular Solar Eclipse in Libra, your 11th house on Wednesday, October 02. The solar eclipse in your 11th house suggests that your social life would impact your emotional side. Your friendships and gains in life stand to gain attention around this eclipse. In a week’s time, Jupiter your ruler would start its retrograde phase in the sign of Gemini, your 7th house on Wednesday, October 09. This might bring about challenges in your partnerships. As Jupiter’s expansive energy would be diverted inwards, you would miss the bigger picture, there would be no common ground with partner and your relationships would meet with turbulence.

Mercury’s transit through Sagittarius would allow you to change your mind and grow on a mental level, making quick decisions as you go your way. And then the Sun follows suit on Thursday, November 21 marking the start of the Sagittarius season which lasts for the next one-month period. When the Sun enters the expansive territory of Sagittarius, we would be able to open our hearts and minds to great opportunities around. Shortly after this, Mercury in Sagittarius turns retrograde on Tuesday, November 26. This might bring conflicts and unwanted drama around for the natives. Use it as a time to resolve personal issues.

Comets in Astrology: Harbingers of Change and Cosmic Messengers
07 Jun 2025 . 5 mins read
In astrology, Comets are seen as celestial omens. They are said to be dramatic cosmic visitors that signal major transformations, upheavals, and shifts in consciousness. Unlike the planets, which follow stable orbits and represent long-standing themes, comets appear suddenly and unpredictably out of nowhere, often coinciding with major historical events. Though they are a great visual treat, their bright, fiery tails and temporary presence in the sky symbolize disruption, revelation, and divine messages.
Comets in astrology symbolize divine intervention, transformation, and unpredictability. They appear when great changes are underway, acting as cosmic signals that humanity is entering a new era. Whether seen as omens of destruction or enlightenment, comets remind us that nothing is permanent and that change is an essential part of cosmic evolution.
Comets are balls of ice, rock, dust and frozen gases. Short-period comets like those with an orbital period under 200 years originate from the Kuiper Belt. Halley’s Comet is a short-period comet.
Long-period comets are those with very eccentric orbits and an orbital period over 200 years, sometimes up to thousands or even millions of years. They are thought to come from the Oort Cloud, which is a spherical cloud of icy bodies that extends from outside the Kuiper Belt.
When a comet comes close to the Sun, it gets heated up and releases gases, which produces a long tail of gas and dust that we see in the sky. The appearance of a comet is called an apparition.
A comet is brightest when it is at perihelion, which is its closest approach to the Sun. This is often when many comets are destroyed, the proximity to the Sun causes it to break apart. If a comet survives its travel near the perihelion, the Sun’s gravity slingshots it back to the Kuiper Belt or beyond. This is also when comets have their longest tails, due to the heat of the Sun melting their frozen gases.
There’s usually at least one comet per year that’s visible to the naked eye, but most are very faint. Every few years we get a Great Comet visiting us.
•Messengers of Change
Comets are often linked to sudden and significant events in politics, natural disasters, or personal awakenings. Their unexpected appearance in the zodiac sky suggests forces beyond human control and knowledge, shaking up the status quo.
•Represent Endings and New Beginnings
Many ancient cultures viewed comets as omens of great change, often foretelling the fall of rulers, the rise of new dynasties, or shifts in global consciousness. Their arrival marks a turning point, sometimes associated with crises that lead to major transformations across the globe.
• Karmic Catalysts
Some astrologers and psychics see comets as cosmic wild cards, bringing karmic reckonings. They illuminate what has been hidden and force individuals and societies to confront unresolved issues.
• Revolutionary and Unpredictable Nature
Comets do not follow the predictable paths of planets, making them symbols of rebellion, breakthroughs, and divine intervention. Their effects can be both chaotic and inspiring, urging people toward profound realizations.
In 1066, the Halley’s Comet was seen before the Norman Conquest of England, symbolizing a change in leadership.
In 1910, it arrived during a time of political and technological transformation, preceding World War I.
Its return in 1986 coincided with global tensions, space exploration advancements, and technological shifts.
This Comet appeared before the Napoleonic Wars and the New Madrid earthquakes, marking upheaval and destruction.
It was seen during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, reflecting an era of crisis and transformation.
Though comets are rarely used in personal astrology, their presence during a person’s birth year can suggest an individual with a disruptive, visionary, or transformative life purpose. Some astrologers associate comets in one’s natal chart with extraordinary possession of wisdom, revolutionaries, or spiritual awakenings.
| Color of Comet | Associated Planet |
|---|---|
| Red | Mars |
| Green | Saturn, Venus |
| Black | Saturn |
| White | Jupiter, Moon |
| Yellow-Gold | Venus, Sun |
| Blue | Mercury, Jupiter |
| Dark Blue | Saturn |
| Multicolor | Mercury |

Memorial Day Astrology: Exploring the Symbolic and Celestial Connections
24 May 2025 . 5 mins read
Memorial Day, observed in the United States on the last Monday of May, is a solemn national holiday dedicated to honoring and remembering the armed forces who have died in military service. While at its core it is a historical and patriotic observance, it can also be explored through the lens of astrology. This perspective doesn’t replace the civic significance of the day but offers a spiritual and psychological dimension to reflection, grief, remembrance, and collective healing.
Memorial Day originated after the American Civil War and was initially known as “Decoration Day.” Communities would decorate the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers and flags, holding ceremonies in cemeteries and town squares. Over time, it became a federal holiday in 1971, expanding its commemoration to all American military personnel who died in all wars.
Memorial Day Signifies:
Astrologically, Memorial Day always falls under the sun sign of Gemini (approximately May 21 – June 21). This air sign, ruled by Mercury, governs communication, memory, duality, and the connection between opposites as in life and death, past and future. These themes make Gemini a symbolically rich time for remembering and processing collective grief.
Gemini is associated with the mind and memory, and its mutable quality speaks to change and transformation. Memorial Day often stirs deep emotional memories and national sentiments, and under Gemini, we are encouraged to talk about the past, share stories, and learn from history.
In mythology, Mercury (Hermes) was not only the god of communication but also the the guide of souls to the underworld. This symbolism deepens the astrological meaning of Memorial Day:
•It is a time to connect with the spirits of the departed
•Mercury’s presence supports rituals that involve writing, speaking, or visiting graves.
•There’s an opening for messages from the past, dreams, and inner dialogue with the ancestral realm
The transits occurring around Memorial Day often carry added significance, particularly:
•Venus in Taurus or Gemini, promoting themes of beauty, value, and connection. People spend time in nature or beautify cemeteries with flowers.
•Mars transits, this can stir emotional or political reactions regarding military history or current conflicts.
•Saturn, the planet of karma, responsibility, and time, may underscore the weight of historical memory and the discipline of national duty.
• This Highlights memory, duality, and communication.
•The Sun in Gemini emphasizes collective storytelling, reflection on ideas, and processing experiences through intellectual means.
• A highly emotional and spiritual Moon.
• Pisces Moon speaks of sacrifice, mourning, and compassion, fitting for honoring the dead.
•Also symbolizes collective emotional undercurrents and intuitive rituals.
•Mercury rules Gemini, so it's strong here.
•Represents written and spoken tributes, memorial speeches, and the archiving of history.
•Venus in the sign of home and family signifies devotion to loved ones who passed away.
•Strong emotional bonds, and heartfelt remembrance.
•Mars is of least strength here and hence less aggressive, more defensive and emotionally driven.
•Represents fighting for home, family, and nation, but also the pain and vulnerability of war.
•Strong placement by Jupiter.
•Symbolizes spiritual growth through suffering, compassion, and expansion of empathy.
•Saturn here implies karmic lessons around truth, freedom, and national values.
•Long-term historical responsibilities and philosophical accountability in warfare and remembrance.
•Continues the theme of remembrance through words, connections, and community stories.
•This Gemini Sun focuses on curiosity about the past, learning from conflict, and honoring shared history.
•Capricorn Moon is reserved, solemn, and mature.
•This Moon emphasizes duty, tradition, and public responsibility, ideal for national ceremonies and respectful reflection.
•Calls attention to reflecting and revisiting history.
•Strong for ancestral work, rereading letters or journals, and reevaluating the nation’s military legacy.
•Emotional intimacy, focusses on home, country, and beautifying memorial spaces.
•Deepens the emotional tone of the day.
•Mars here is proud, expressive, and courageous.
•Supports honoring bravery and valor but can also trigger debates about ego-driven conflicts.
•Expands interest in national conversations, historical education, and media tributes.
•Great for documentaries, public ceremonies, and engagement with history.
•A karmic, emotional reckoning.
•This Saturn tests how we hold space for grief, forgiveness, and healing, especially of collective emotional wounds.
•A powerful undercurrent of transformation around institutions and collective values.
•Suggests a shift in how society views war, sacrifice, and national service leaning toward inclusivity and reform.
| Planetary Focus | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Sun + Mercury in Gemini | Strong emphasis on memory, communication, and national storytelling |
| Moon in Capricorn | A grounded, traditional approach to mourning. |
| Saturn + Neptune in Pisces | Deep emotional healing, spiritual reflection,and ancestral grief. |
| Pluto in Aquarius | A push toward modernizing how we commemorate, possibly through tech, AI, or digital archives |
While Memorial Day is primarily a civic event rooted in tangible history, astrology offers a symbolic and spiritual overlay that can enrich its meaning. It reminds us that:
•The cycles of the cosmos mirror our cycles of memory, grief, and renewal
•Mercury and Gemini invite storytelling, reflection, and connection across the veil
•Rituals performed under the stars can be acts of healing for individuals, families, and the collective psyche
Whether you observe Memorial Day in quiet reflection, through family traditions, or with a skyward gaze, astrology offers to deepen your awareness of this day’s emotional, spiritual, and cosmic dimensions.

Digital Sabbath and Astrology: A Celestial Reset?
22 May 2025 . 4 mins read
In our hyperconnected world, the idea of a Digital Sabbath, taking a break from screens andtechnology for some time has gained popularity as a way to recharge the mind and spirit. But what if we aligned this practice with the wisdom of astrology. By syncing a digital detox with planetary influences, we can create a more intentional and cosmic approach to unplugging.
A Digital Sabbath, inspired by traditional Sabbath practices of rest and reflection, is a conscious break from screens, social media, and digital distractions. It allows us to reconnect with ourselves, nature, and our loved ones in a more meaningful and relaxed manner. This practice is especially powerful for mental clarity, reducing stress, and fostering mindfulness.
Astrology and Digital Detoxing
Astrology offers insights into the best times to take a break from the digital world. By aligning a Digital Sabbath with planetary energies, we can optimize the benefits of this practice. Here’s how to go about this:
Mercury Retrograde –This is one of the perfect times for a tech detox. Mercury rules communication and technology, and during its retrograde cycle, digital mishaps are quite common. Instead of getting frustrated by technical glitches, use this period to step away from devices and reflect.
Full Moon –A time of heightened emotions and revelations.
