Welcome to Sagittarius season!

We’ve come to the last season of the year to celebrate and appreciate everything we’ve experienced since we set intentions and made wishes at the winter solstice last year!

Have you been keeping track of how far you’ve come on your journey?

This was a big year full of big shifts in the collective and within. The shifts will continue to shape our world and how we be as a species over the next few years. We are all in this together.

There is so much to be grateful for close to home and I invite you to make time for a review of your year, whether it is with reviewing photos on your phone, your journals, or simply reviewing your calendar and noticing where you spent most of your time and energy.

There are so many coaches and gurus talking about time freedom and quitting your day job to start a business so you can have sovereignty over your time. They say it’s your most precious resource. But that’s not for everyone.

You’re invited to see things from a slightly different perspective. What if you crafted your life based on the quality of time, rather than the quantity of it?

Astrology is the study of the quality of time. That has been the most fascinating reason for me to study astrology—to watch the quality of time shift over cycles and how my energy ebbs and flows within it.

Are you being called to make this shift in perspective for 2026?

Now is the time to look back and notice if your spent time has been spent on the things you want to continue to appreciate in your life. Now is the time to craft that vibrant life. See the Crafted section below for tips.

Now onto the cosmic fun!

 🌑🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑

Lunations July 2025

A mutable Sun brings mutable moons to create and manifest with this month!

Why it’s relevant to your journey:
When the Sun is in jolly Sagittarius, our spirits are lifted, we have more belief than ever before, and we root in hope as we manifest with the moon.

The essence of mutable signs is the ability to change and go with the flow. 

We start with the first quarter moon in Pisces, ruled by Jupiter and expanding our horizons with choices. We end the season with a powerful Jupiter-ruled new moon, just before the solstice. The perfect time to set those intentions with optimism and luck!

 ☿ Mercurial Motion December 2025

Mercury’s backward trek is halfway over as we experienced the cazimi yesterday at the Scorpio New Moon.

Why it’s relevant to your journey:
Expect that whatever Mercury has been challenging you to revise, rethink or redo over the past few weeks will shift into a space of resolution and refinement. What has been revealed this time around will get another round of revision next year October through November as Mercury will retrograde fully in Scorpio.

Pay attention to the quality of the energy that you’ve been experiencing the first half of the retrograde compared to the quality of the second half. Fire Mercury moving into Water Mercury will feel steamy and relieving.

You may have already noticed a difference in the quality of fuckery of Mercury from last December!

As always, take care to make extra space and time for things to go wrong in all things communication, travel and details. Triple check your work and practice care as you move about your daily life, inside and outside of the home. 

Cosmic Shifts December 2025 💫

The big event this month is Saturn and Neptune station direct in Pisces

Saturn and Neptune have been swimming backwards in Pisces for awhile now. 

You may have noticed more limitations and restrictions on things you felt had already been resolved this past spring. But there’s still a little more work they have to do there.

This is an important period as Saturn and Neptune make their final appearance in your Pisces house for the next 30 and 149 years respectively.

Important Dates for Saturn and Neptune in Pisces

Why it’s relevant to your journey:
Saturn spent the last 2 1/2 years in your Pisces house creating structures and setting up systems in your Pisces house for healing and forming healthier habits. The last few degrees of Pisces will feel tired and ready for the change that Aries energy brings.

Notice the parts of yourself that are tired of sabotaging habits and avoidant behaviors that are being whipped into shape these last few months while Saturn cleans up in your Pisces house. They bring lasting change to the things that you commit to and take to heart. 

Neptune has been swimming in the dreamy waters of Pisces since April of 2011. You’ve been more creative, dreamy, idealistic and probably avoidant for most of this time. 

This is not to say that you won’t be creative or dreamy in the years that Neptune continues in your Aries house, only that the quality of the dreams and ideas will be different. There will be more desire to act on your dreams over the coming 14 years as Aries energy will jump start them!

But first, Neptune will finish dissolving the dreams and beliefs that you’ve been clinging to that are no longer serving you. Neptune will also help you dissolve the disillusions that you’ve been operating under for the past 14 years in the Pisces area of your life. 

Check out the dates above to see if you notice what parts of your life are being supported by Saturn and dissolved by Neptune.

Reclaiming the Quality of Your Time

Sagittarius Season invites you to expand your perspective, reconnect with possibility, and step into the life that truly feels like yours. This mini ritual is designed to help you notice how your time is spent, align with what matters, and craft small, meaningful adjustments in your days.

You’ll need:

• Your calendar, planner, or a blank piece of paper
• 2–3 colored pens, markers, or highlighters
• 5–10 quiet minutes

Steps:

1. Settle and breathe.
   Place one hand on your belly and notice your body. Allow yourself to arrive fully in this moment.
2. Review the last week or two.
   Look at how you spent your time. Use your colors to mark:
   • YES — what nourished you or brought joy
   • NEUTRAL — obligations or maintenance tasks
   • NO — things that drained you or felt misaligned
3. Notice patterns.
   Ask yourself:
   • Where did my energy flow naturally?
   • Where did I feel resistance or fatigue?
   • What choices did I make automatically that didn’t serve me?
4. Align with intention.
   Identify one small adjustment you can make for the upcoming week:
   • Add a ritual that nourishes you
   • Reclaim an hour for yourself
   • Say “no” to something that drains your energy
   • Reframe or simplify a task to make it easier
5. Seal it with gratitude.
   Thank yourself for noticing, for aligning, and for taking the time to craft your life intentionally.

Tip:

This is not about perfection. It’s about awareness and gentle adjustment. Revisit this ritual weekly to notice how your energy shifts and how you can continuously shape your time to feel expansive, vibrant, and aligned.

Something to muse:
In what ways am I saying no to myself? Am I happy with how my time is being spent? Can I shift the way I think about time and enjoy the quality of it rather than the quantity of it? In what small ways can I adjust the way I spend my allotted time so that life feels more amazing?
