Following the mystical alignment of Venus and Neptune on February 1, we have access to an energy of all-encompassing love, compassion, and kindness throughout the entire month of February. Surround yourself with beauty and express love at every chance.
Alongside this dreamy influence, planetary shifts this week call for bravery, boldness, and action. While the Sun remains in Aquarius, we are under Aries' influence as Venus, the planet of love, moves from Pisces into Aries. Unlike the typically aggressive and self-centered energy of this Cardinal Fire sign, Venus in Aries urges us to embody the peaceful warrior. Venus will stay in Aries until March 29, then retrograde back into Pisces until May 1. It will quickly pass through Aries again and enter Taurus on June 7. This means we have a few months to harness this energy—turn on the charm, act courageously, embrace spring’s vitality, and move with confidence, bravery, and grace. Prioritizing physical movement and mental agility is essential. Be nimble in both action and thought, as flexibility and adaptability are key.
Our ability to communicate and advocate for ourselves becomes more prominent when Jupiter stations direct in Gemini on February 4. It will remain in this mutable air sign until June 9. Expect an accelerated pace and increased social engagement. Gemini encourages curiosity, flexibility, and adaptability. While opportunities may abound, distractions may as well. Use this time to make decisions aligned with your values and commit to courageous action. Strengthening self-esteem and fostering faith in your abilities will be vital in pursuing your goals.
On February 7 and 8, introspection takes center stage as the Sun and Mercury each form a sextile with Chiron, the wounded healer and Shaman of the zodiac. This is an ideal time to meet with a therapist to explore what drives you, what hinders your growth, and how to heal ancestral wounds.
The week concludes with a call to action as Mars forms a trine with Saturn, the planet of responsibility and structure. We will gain the strength, discipline, and determination to fulfill our obligations and complete tasks efficiently. Channel your passions with a practical mindset to achieve meaningful progress.

We ring in the New Year with a New Moon on December 30. This is the perfect opportunity to set our intentions with conviction. Unlike many New Year’s resolutions that we often abandon after a few weeks, the energy of the planets this year supports us to follow through with our goals and truly transform our lives.
Brit + Co
Many of us are aware of vague, innate blockages that prevent us from living life to the fullest, without fully understanding their origins. These blockages—whether insecurities or scars from childhood or even past lives—cling stubbornly to our consciousness, hindering us from achieving our goals and ideals. Chiron, known as the Wounded Healer and Shaman of the Zodiac, often holds the key to these obstructions in our birth charts.
This week, Mercury, the planet of communication and knowledge, forms a harmonious trine with Chiron. This alignment encourages us to delve deep, uncover our impediments, and, in doing so, heal and move forward. Writing can be a powerful tool in this process, as can conversations with a therapist or astrologer.
Brit + Co
Also this week, Chiron squares Saturn, the planet of responsibility and structure. This aspect challenges us to put in the work to remove these obstructions and create a solid framework for healing and learning from our wounds. The Sun in Capricorn sextiles Saturn in Pisces on January 4, further supporting us to uncover hidden hindrances and to find ways to fully express ourselves.
On January 2, Venus, the planet of personal love, enters Pisces, the archetype of universal love. Venus will remain in Pisces until February 5, when it transitions into Aries. During this month-long transit, we are encouraged to express love in refined and dignified ways that encompass humanity and all living beings. This is a time to deepen personal love connections and strengthen bonds with those we care for, including our animal companions. Imagine the impact if we all focused on spreading this healing, loving energy in our interactions with the world!
However, the peaceful and loving energy of Venus in Pisces is tempered by Mars, the planet of war, which will again oppose Pluto, the planet of transformation. This marks the second of three exact oppositions, bringing aggressive and confrontational energy. While this alignment reflects potential escalation in global conflicts, on a personal level it offers an opportunity to channel this intensity toward achieving personal goals. Use this energy wisely to propel yourself toward freedom and positive change, but avoid aggressive behavior and potentially dangerous situations.
Your innate energy and determination are admirable. This week, if you find yourself feeling defensive or combative, take a moment to pause before reacting. Avoid acting on impulse. Instead, channel your energy creatively and ensure your actions are strategic and purposeful.
This week brings the potential for positive developments at work. Relationships with superiors and coworkers are likely to be harmonious, and initiatives born of creativity and passion will be well-received. If you’re off work, indulge in artistic or creative projects for deep satisfaction. New intimate relationships formed during this time may grow into mutually supportive bonds.
Focus on enhancing understanding and healing in personal relationships. Purposefully set aside time for meaningful conversations with loved ones. Professionally, negotiations may yield favorable outcomes if they align with shared goals. Collaboration will bring greater success than working alone.
This week brings profound and soulful personal relationships. You may experience transformative exchanges, but their intensity could be overwhelming. Trust in your inner strength to navigate any challenges. Issues related to joint finances or shared resources may arise; approach these with clarity and fairness.
Take this opportunity to evaluate your daily routines and self-care practices. Are you using your time effectively? Replace unproductive habits with ones that promote health and balance. Consider joining a gym or hiking group to gain mutual support, which will amplify your success.
Step back from technology and social media to recalibrate. Spend time in nature or places where you find peace. Journaling can uncover valuable insights during this introspective period. Reflect on your growth and the lessons of your past, including the path of your ancestors. Honor the journey that has shaped you.
Infuse joy and creativity into your New Year’s resolutions. Focus on artistic expression, as this can reconnect you with your inner child and bring renewal to your relationships. Break free from monotony and embrace activities that affirm life and love.
This is a time of deep psychological transformation. Consider therapy or counseling to uncover and resolve longstanding emotional patterns. Significant changes in parental relationships may arise. Confronting these issues will empower you to live authentically and free of emotional baggage. View this time as an excavation; there is no limit to the gems that might be revealed.
Personal growth is tied to your relationships. Foster collaboration and reciprocity as you deepen bonds with others. Authentic partnerships based on trust and honesty offer the best opportunities for self-discovery and expansion. Avoid over-idealizing relationships or compromising your needs to keep the peace.
Engage your mind in new ways. Explore meditation or creative outlets to break free from old thought patterns. Be patient and compassionate with yourself as you embark on this journey. With effort, you’ll unlock greater joy and freedom in life.
Uncover hidden aspects of your psyche and seek emotional and psychological liberation. Work with a counselor or explore ways to let go of generational trauma or outdated attitudes. This self-exploration will deepen your understanding of familial dynamics and enhance your personal growth.
Stay grounded and question illusions. While noble, idealistic projects may draw you in, ensure there’s a practical plan to achieve them. Keep a dream journal to uncover insights about your inner world. This is the beginning of a transformative period for your self-awareness and growth.

Western baby names are riding high in 2025 as many parents pay homage to the history, spirit, and rustic charm of the Old West — and as many parents keep binging Yellowstone, 1923, and Landman. ;) With a growing appreciation for strong, adventurous, and timeless names that connote perseverance and grit, this trend is gaining serious traction.
However, classic choices like Dolly or Walker aren't just seeing a comeback. Moms and dads are also drawing inspiration from the Old West for a more modern twist. Here are eight Western-themed baby names that are roping up parents-to-be in 2025.
Inspired by rising country music star Lainey Wilson, this name carries a Southern charm that's warm and inviting.
It means "shining" and "bright," making it the perfect selection for a little girl with a bold personality.
Nothing captures the rugged beauty of the Wild West quite like its towering mountain ranges, and Sierra is a name that totally embodies that spirit.
Referencing the Sierra Nevada mountains, this name means "jagged" and can reflect both strength and natural beauty. It's great for parents who want a name that feels adventurous yet effortlessly elegant.
A more classic girl's name option is Belle, which in French means "pretty" and "beautiful." It's graceful in its simplicity but also carries a fierce history.
Belle Starr was a legendary outlaw in the Wild West who came to be known as "The Bandit Queen." So, whether you're inspired by this name's vintage appeal or rebellious roots, it blends strength with sweetness.
Parents seeking a modern option for their baby girl might like the name Addilyn, which is a fresh take on the name Adeline.
Addilyn means "noble one" and has almost a melodic ring to it. This name is well-suited for a little girl who's determined with a free spirit.
Moving onto boy's names, few capture the rebellious essence of the Wild West quite like Maverick.
It actually means "an independent man who avoids conformity," so it's perfect for a young boy who's ready to forge his own path. Maverick simultaneously exudes confidence, adventure, and a touch of rugged charm.
This name brings to mind Jackson, Wyoming, a stunning city surrounded by mountains and wide-open landscapes. It also means "son of Jack," so if you want to honor a relative named Jack without using junior, it's an excellent solution.
Plus, for fans of Grey's Anatomy, it carries an extra dose of charm thanks to the charismatic Dr. Jackson Avery.
Johnny Cash was a country music legend who embraced a wide range of genres, from blues and rock to folk.
Paying homage to the star, the name Cash has roots dating back to the eighteenth century and carries an ageless edge. It connotes individuality and strength.
Last but not least is Wyatt, a rough-and-tumble name that's synonymous with cowboys and legendary Western men.
Popularized by figures like Wyatt Earp, a frontiersman and lawman, this name means "brave in war" and is a wonderful fit for a courageous little boy who craves adventure.
