THE VERTEX

The Vertex and anti-Vertex are points calculated within the framework of the chart, one exactly opposite the other using your exact birth time. 

 

They are both connected to meetings with others.  There is a feeling of destiny and karmic attached to the significance behind these meetings.  Known as points of destiny, sometimes creating turning points in life.  These meetings with others seem fateful and, in many cases, it is as if you have known this individual previously.

 

The Vertex has similarities to the Descendent and the Anti-Vertex has similarities to the Ascendant. 

 

The Vertex, which is associated with others and our meeting, suggest a feeling that these individuals may fill something that is missing within us, (almost having the effect of assisting in making us feel whole).  There is the feeling of having very little control over the situation and our meeting point. It feels fated in some manner, like it was meant to happen.

 

The Anti-Vertex has similarities with the Ascendant, but it seems as though when we meet these individuals there is no choice in the matter and once again fated on some level.  With the Anti-Vertex, these people affect us but not with the same impact as the Vertex. The Anti-Vertex people do not make us feel whole, but they can play a significant role in our lives.  The experiences we share, once again, feel fated and affect us in personal terms.

 

The Vertex and Anti-Vertex can be used in many different purposed charts, including the Natal chart, the Progressed chart, and the Solar chart.  When connected with Planets or points in these charts, the Vertex and Anti-Vertex are extremely significant.  The Planet that is contacted especially by Conjunction, but also by Opposition, Trine, Sextile and Square will define the energies brought forward. 

 

A couple of examples might be a Saturn contact suggesting someone enters our life who offers more responsibilities and may assist or hold us back in our objectives particularly tied to our career.  This person may be older or someone in authority. 

 

If the Moon is involved, it could be someone with an emotional connection, or someone who is tied in some way to family and is highly sensitive.  Don’t forget it may just be someone who enters your life because of an important experience that is required.

 

An experienced Astrologer can help you define the meanings behind these potentialities in your personal chart. 

 

Again, the Vertex is a point calculated with our birth time in the astrology chart usually indicating fated events or our destiny connected to the meeting with others who are important in our life.

ARIES NEW MOON 2025

This Aries New Moon on March 29, 2025, at 6:57 a.m. EDT marks the beginning of a needed change for something significant.  The Aries New Moon will also be a partial solar eclipse which will be visible locally.

 

Quite often the energy of an eclipse also marks the ending of one thing making way for the beginning of something new. 

 

Ask yourself what needs change? 

 

You must also accept the changes that will be brought forward.  This is or these are needed and sometimes occur because of events outside of your control.

 

An Eclipse (and it does not matter whether it is a Solar or Lunar eclipse, although the Lunar eclipse is more on an emotional level) will be beneficial although it may take some time to recognize its energies’/change’s benefits.  Sometimes things happen out of the blue and they are not expected.  Important events tend to bring things to the surface.  You may find that during the Eclipse you reach what some would call a turning point, and once reached, there is no looking back.

 

An Eclipse must affect (make contact by aspect to planets or angles) your chart for there to any an influence to you personally.  An Eclipse that falls within 3° (some astrologers give it a wider orb of influence of 5°) to any planet, any angle in your Natal chart, lines up with either the Solar chart or the Progressed chart will have an impact in your life.  Eclipses are not to be viewed as bad or good, for that matter. They are energies pushing for required changes that take hold in life because this change is required.

 

You may find you have more integrity than normal and can do things that you might not have been able to do prior to the influence of this New Moon/Partial Solar Eclipse.  In many cases, it is best to wait until after the eclipse has completed its course before making important decisions.  The decisions may affect you in personal terms, especially with Aries as the point of interest. Others may also be affects because of your decisions or actions. 

 

It is time to move forward with your objectives however, and life is about to change the course of events and bring honesty to the surface.  The truth shall reign, and it sometimes happens very quickly.

 

This is the time, because of Aries being the sign of this eclipse, to push for what you need personally.  This should not be presented in such a way that ego is involved or that others are hurt intentionally, but what we do will affect others (keep this in mind). 

 

Important people may enter or leave your life at this point, but there is a reason for this. Eventually, time will reveal why this took place.  Accept what unfolds and know that it is for the best, no matter how it looks under the current situation. 

 

A solar eclipse’s impact can last for several years, but the most intense time will be the first 12 to 18 months.  Much will depend on which houses are involved in your chart, the energies in place and the overall condition in the birth chart that is affected by this positioning. This could be challenging or favorable for now but always beneficial in the long run. 

 

With the Aries New Moon 2025 and this partial solar eclipse, have patience and know that it takes time for things to advance, to be understood and seen clearly. The events or changes, however, may likely happen quickly.

NEPTUNE SEXTILE NATAL JUPITER

This article is written in March, 2025. Transiting Neptune is moving into Aries at the end of March. Neptune will remain in Aries until it moves back into Pisces on October 22, 2025.  Neptune returns to Aries in January, 2026 and will then stay in Aries for many years.

 

Pisces, which is normally connected to the spiritual realm, will maneuver its way into the sign of Aries with a real push to find solace in Spirituality and the mystical side of life.  This will now be on a personal basis as Aries is connected to self and the need to move within self-serving enterprises. 

 

Neptune in Pisces, its natural placement, would have opened the door for many who wished to delve deeper into their mystical side.  Now is the time to put all of that training and education into practice.  Much will depend on the placement of transiting Neptune in your natal chart as this will be the area of life that is exposed to these energies.  Also, look at the natal placement of Neptune as well as the aspects it receives in the natal chart as this will provide further important information. 

 

Natal Jupiter and its house placement will speak in terms of expansion and potential growth.  Jupiter often brings with it good fortune, easy flow in obtaining your objectives, and in general, positive energy. 

 

Neptune and Jupiter in sextile to one another, allowing a 3-5° orb of influence, can create opportunities for growth and expansion around spirituality, music, and theatre, especially if the fifth house is part of the process and the psychic realm for those that have an interest in these fields of expression.  I personally use a smaller orb because, although we can feel these energies coming into our lives, the energies become stronger the closer they are to being direct. 

 

Your Jupiter will likely be in the final degrees in the sign of Capricorn or Taurus or in the early degrees of Aquarius or Gemini for this aspect to play a role in your life currently. 

 

Sextiles are opportunity aspects, but in many cases, we will have to work to put these opportunities now entering our lives into action, as without our involvement not much may take hold.  Once again, look to the houses where transiting Neptune is in, the houses where natal Jupiter and natal Neptune are in and the other aspects taking hold to get a full, clear picture of these energies in place now.

 

Neptune sextile natal Jupiter provides a great opportunity for growth if you put in the effort required.  Don’t waste this energy.

SUN IN PISCES 2025

The Sun moves from the fixed, air sign of Aquarius into the mutable, water sign of Pisces on February 18, 2025.  This is quite the contrast as anyone who shares this cusp of Aquarius and Pisces has two distinct energies working within.  (See www.holmastrology.com/astrology-101astrology for more information on the distinct energies of these two signs.)

 

Pisces, under most conditions, (depending on other configurations within the natal chart) has a gentle, calm, passive demeanor and is very sensitive to other people as well as their own surroundings.  They need quiet places to retreat, gentle well-meaning associates and friends, and often enjoy the open waters or an ocean view. 

 

Most Pisceans are kind, caring individuals with great empathy for others, mainly because they understand what it is to suffer from the deeper layers of consciousness.  They can get hurt easily and have a hard time hiding how they feel.  They must learn not to take on the energies of others, especially if these other individuals are going through heart-wrenching and emotional experiences.

 

Pisces individuals truly care, and you can find them in volunteer groups, where caring and compassion is required.  They can make great nurses, psychologists, and addiction counsellors. Insecure individuals are often drawn to Pisceans, but so are aggressive individuals who believe they can take control or take advantage of caring Pisceans.  They must be careful who they become close to in life.

 

Pisceans are very sensitive individuals, and because of this, many Sun in Pisces individuals are known to have intuitive abilities.  Some are psychic and most go deep into “feelings” rather than to analyze.  They are known for their caring natures, but because of their intense need for peace and tranquility, when they are confronted with adverse conditions, they tend to be drawn to drugs and alcohol because they do not want to face this adversity.  Some hide their proverbial heads in the sand or try to cloud life’s challenging situations.

 

The area of psychology and the unseen can draw them in.  Their philosophy might be “who can I help and what can I do to make others’ lives deeper but I don’t need rewards”.  Some are known for being martyrs as it is not important for them to receive recognition or compensation for their efforts. They also understand that they work for a higher power.  Some believe that Pisces, being the last sign of the Zodiac, is the final stage of earthly existence. 

 

Personally, this Astrologer believes that unless they have a grasp of the full picture of life’s purpose, they are not ready for the final stage of earthly existence, and they will return bringing with them their knowledge and experience into their next existence.

 

Happy solar return to our caring, compassionate, mystical, prophetic, imaginative Sun in Pisces readers. Watch for our Sun in Pisces 2025 forecast next week.

SUN IN CAPRICORN ASPECTS

We continue our post from December 16, 2024 https://www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-capricorn-december-21-2024   

 

The sun goes into Capricorn on December 21, 2024 and the following aspects will relate to those individuals that have their Sun in Capricorn at the corresponding degrees.  You can allow a 5–8° orb of influence. Within this range, the aspects will be in effect in your chart and will automatically strengthen as they near  the exact degree of your Capricorn Sun.  Review an ephemeris to get the exact degree and timing of the planets that we are about to speak about.

 

We will look at transiting Uranus and Saturn as they have a greater impact than any of the inner planets to this position.  The inner planets move too quickly to have any type of lasting influence, whereas the outer planets move much more slowly and will therefore have a longer and more lasting impact in your life.

 

Currently (December 2024) we see Uranus at 24° in the sign of Taurus and Saturn at 13° in the sign of Pisces.  Both contacts or aspects to Sun in Capricorn are considered positive in nature and carry with them the energies of easy flow, opportunities, change and stability.  Saturn and Uranus will be making a tight sextile to one another as well from March to September of 2025 becoming exact March and April of 2025 in and around 24/25°.  If your Sun is around these degrees (and taking into account the orb of influence), then this will be a prime time for needed change and then a stabilization period shortly thereafter.  You will likely have known that a change of direction was coming prior to this time frame.

 

From the time of this post (again December 2024), Saturn will move through the sign of Pisces entering Aries for the first time towards the end of May, 2025.  Saturn in Sextile to your Sun suggests that there may be some extra lessons that have to be undertaken with your spiritual connectedness and a stabilization period connected to these goals if this is part of your current assignment.  (The reason I use the term “assignment” is due to the fact that Saturn is known as the teacher and also the disciplinarian. Although it often indicates more duties and some testing along the way it also brings with it, using a steadfast approach, the opportunity to build a solid foundation to whatever you might be trying to implement into your life’s lesson).  This aspect is goal oriented and can also suggest changes to your path or changes coming from within.

 

During December 2024, Transiting Uranus will be at 24° Taurus moving into Gemini, which is a much more comfortable place for Uranus, in July 2025.  It moves back into Taurus in November 2025, and then will finally stay in Gemini towards the end of April 2026.

 

Uranus is making a trine to your Sun if your sun is in the later degrees of Capricorn from about 20° onward.  The trine is indicative of easy flow, good opportunities, promising outcomes through change and reorientation.  This may be a time of looking at your life’s path and making changes because where you are no longer suits your current path forward.  Change can be difficult especially when we speak of Uranus in Taurus as Taurus likes things to remain the same but Uranus’ upcoming position in Gemini will likely foster in change in a much easier manner.  Much will depend on the areas of life affected (house positions involved) and the other aspects within your natal chart.  You can expect some disruption and perhaps some of these changes might take place with little notice especially if you have been putting off what needs to take place. 

 

Sun in Capricorn aspects include Saturn and Uranus and together they will create a push and pull situation where you will want things to remain steadfast and at the same time want change.  This can be difficult, but life will take you where you need to go. Make the move before life forces it on you. The outcome can enhance your life.

SUN IN CAPRICORN DECEMBER 21, 2024

On December 21 the Sun moves from the Mutable Fire sign of Sagittarius into the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn.  Sagittarius is very much about exploration and as we move into Capricorn, we carry forward the need for exploration but we now move into the area of success and what that might mean. 

 

Cardinal signs are known for action and decisiveness and want to achieve what they set out to do.  They do this with perseverance, persistence and especially in the case of Capricorn with conviction.  Capricorn knows that the ladder of success is not always an easy one, but that with hard work and achievement-oriented goals, the only thing that holds us back is our inability to push forward or obstruction from others.

 

In many cases, the ladder of success has to do with material achievement but there are exceptions. Sometimes, this can be very personal and may entail something important and that perhaps requires dedication and yes, a lot of work. 

 

Saturn is Capricorn’s ruling planet, and it always insists on hard work and a diligent effort in order to achieve what we set out to do, but Saturn’s rewards are often sustainable and produce structures that can stand the test of time. Capricorn knows that the effort is worth the struggle if that is what is required.

 

Most Capricornians are steadfast and reliable and are usually placed over time in a position of authority as they are good at enticing others into action.  They are leaders, and often not very good followers, unless those that are in positions above them can be viewed from a place of appreciation and with a degree of respect.  Capricorn’s themselves want respect and will work hard to make a name for themselves.

 

If by chance you find these characteristics do not fit, it would be important to look deeper into the chart and figure out why, especially if you are not goal oriented.  There can be many significators that can modify this energy, but most Capricorn people have some or many of these traits in common. 

 

Capricorn individuals are emotional but may have a hard time showing others this sensitive part of who they are.  They appear professional and do not like to show any type of perceived weakness.  They do not like criticism although if the criticism is valid, they will do what it takes to correct things.  Capricornians want to be viewed as diligent, and having the ability required to meet certain standards, they will work extra hard to prove this to others.  Some can be too restrictive and need to find ways to lighten up and enjoy life a little more.  Achievement, although the end result, does not have to be the only end in life.  Success is important but sometimes we learn more from our mistakes than from our achievements. 

 

Happy solar return to our diligent, motivated and reliable Capricornian followers.

FULL MOON DECEMBER 15, 2024

On December 15, 2024, we will be experiencing a Full Moon at 24° in the sign Gemini, the twins.  With the Gemini influence there are always at least two roads to choose from.  In some cases, they are completely different paths.  In other cases, they are linked with each other.  Much will depend on the areas of life determined by the Astrological house position of this Full Moon in your chart (which is, once again, 24° Gemini).

 

Gemini is about versatility and diversity and being able to change directions in a moment’s notice.  It is also about the need to remain steadfast once you make up your mind although this can be challenging, so as you can see, immediately there are choices to make, and fortunately, we can adapt to our decisions.  We can also go with the flow suggesting that we can adapt more easily to circumstances which may be determined by our course of action. 

 

This interchange of ideas or circumstance began some six months ago when the New Moon was in the sign of Gemini, and now we have reached a culmination point where we will need to decide to continue or change direction based on what has been leading up to this point in time.  We have likely been feeling the energy concluding in the past two weeks and may have an idea which road we wish to take.  Preparation since the New Moon over the past six months was key.

 

You will need to have planets within about 3° of this placement either by Conjunction, Opposition and to a lesser degree by Square, Trine or Sextile.  The Conjunction and Opposition are by far the most significant aspects to influence this energy. 

 

Fortunately, we also have a Grand Fire Trine that might help in our decision making as it will force us into action and help us to connect to our best choices.  Sometimes the choices we make do not look overly pleasing or we may not know where these choices will take us. Under most conditions, the road we choose to pursue will take us to where we need to go regardless of where that might be.

 

This Grand Fire Trine incorporates the energies of Mars, which will be the driving force, Mercury which will incorporate our decision making and is tied to the sign Gemini and the North Node which often indicates that an important figure is part of this process. It also indicates that the path ahead is significant in nature. 

 

This Grand Trine will help with an easier flow and may present us with opportunities and good luck in our decision making although the rest of the chart will, of course, play into what unfolds. 

The December 15, 2024 Full Moon in Gemini will provide us with different roads to choose from and the Grand Fire Trine will push us into action and offer easy flow and opportunity. Stick to it once you have made your decision.

 

You can expect the energies to influence our chart some two weeks prior to December 15 and last approximately one month after being exact.  Use the energies well and move ahead not allowing your mind and misconceptions to stand in the way.
