Chinese New Year, Saturn in Aries & the Eclipse

February carries a fresh momentum. The clearing process of the past months (the shedding, the endings, the quiet recalibrations) has created space that now asks to be filled with intention. What follows now, is to cultivate a fresh start & finally take action, and we can absolutely do that!

The Chinese New Year arrives under the spirit of the Fire Horse, a symbol of courage, independence, and unapologetic forward movement. Fire spreads where there is fuel, and hopefully we gathered enough in the past months. So now, after a period of release, the fuel is finally available.

An Eclipse aligning with the New Year intensifies the atmosphere. Eclipses operate on a karmic register and bringing dormant themes into visibility. When such a portal coincides with the symbolic beginning of a new annual cycle, the message is loud and clear; step forward with clarity.

Saturn’s ingress into Aries offers a third layer of confirmation. Aries marks initiation, sovereignty, and decisive action. Saturn adds structure, responsibility, and long-term commitment. The combination favors deliberate leadership, it time to take bold steps with strategic awareness. Impulse alone will not sustain this cycle; disciplined courage will.

The transit charts support momentum. Supportive Mercury–Jupiter alignments encourage confident communication and expanded vision. Harmonious connections to the Nodes and Jupiter suggest alignment between personal direction and collective timing. Even the Uranian friction functions as a catalyst, ensuring movement. The message across all three markers (Chinese New Year, eclipse, and Saturn’s ingress) converges around readiness. The pace quickens now and what has been contemplated asks to be enacted.

Action becomes the language of this new chapter.

Eclipse + New Moon: Endings Disguised as Beginnings

A New Moon Eclipse carries inherent karmic weight. It marks a closure embedded within initiation a threshold where something completes in order for something else to emerge. This lunation alone would signal a time of reset, the surrounding aspects elevate it into a structural turning point. What we’ve released has quietly prepared the ground for what’s ready to grow next.

The square to Uranus introduces volatility and necessary disruption. Uranian tension rarely operates gently; it liberates through destabilization. Patterns that have outlived their relevance encounter interruption. Systems built on avoidance, complacency, or illusion struggle to maintain their form, if they break down it, let them.

The Node conjunct Venus weaves destiny into matters of value, attachment, relationship, and resource exchange. Choices around love, finances, aesthetics, and self-worth assume karmic significance. Encounters and shifts during this period often feel fated, as though aligning personal desire with a broader trajectory.

Mercury trine Jupiter offers intellectual expansion and swift comprehension. Conversations now are able to clarify direction. Information arrives with coherence. Perspective widens rapidly, allowing decisions to be made from understanding rather than reaction. Once insight surfaces, it integrates cleanly.

Saturn conjunct Neptune, (exact and applying) defines the longer arc. Illusions dissolve where commitment is absent. Vision that withstands scrutiny gains form; fantasy without foundation recedes. The ingress of Saturn at 0° Aries amplifies initiation energy; responsibility entering the realm of action.

A new chapter forms from the remains of what could no longer continue.

The Hidden Blessing

Mercury trine Jupiter strengthens articulation and strategic vision. Ideas become clearer and reach further. This aspect supports rebranding, publishing, teaching, launching, and any endeavor requiring confident communication.

Collectively, the positive alignments suggest potential for meaningful relationship developments, financial recalibration, public voice expansion, and courageous repositioning. The atmosphere rewards coherence between inner values and outer expression.

Lilith’s square to the luminaries introduces a necessary edge. Suppressed truths resist remaining hidden. Performative identities, diluted narratives, or compromises of self-integrity encounter exposure. What stands on authenticity stabilizes / what relies on partial truth destabilizes.

Opportunity favors clarity now.

So what do we actually see?

Several themes stand out clearly:

• A departure from prolonged waiting
• The dismantling of unrealistic expectations
• A call toward autonomous decision-making
• Swift developments within karmic relationships
• Opportunities that respond to boldness rather than hesitation

The atmosphere reflects fast acceleration. Events may unfold quickly, yet they follow an internal logic tied to growth and maturation. So, even if it feels chaotic at first, it will make sense.

I wish you all a Happy and Blessed Chinese New Year <3
