The Full Grimoire

The Curator's Astrology forecast for the week of March 29th to April 4th

Last week the planets gave you permission to start fresh. Mercury went direct, the equinox arrived, the astrological new year began, and everything pointed toward planting seeds and moving forward with new intentions. The Hierophant showed up to remind you that structure isn't your enemy. This week, Saturn wants to see your work. Tuesday, the Sun meets Saturn in Aries. The same Saturn that's been sitting in conjunction with Neptune since December, asking you to build dreams i

The planets have been circling March 20th since December. Everything that's happened this year - Saturn and Neptune asking you to build dreams into reality, the eclipses forcing releases, Mercury dragging you backwards through Pisces - has been leading here. Friday is the turning point. Spring Equinox arrives at 10:46am EDT. The Sun enters Aries at 0°, beginning the astrological new year. Five hours later at 3:40pm, Mercury finally stations direct and stops reviewing your pas

Finally getting some time to breathe this week. The main event this week is that after five months in retrograde, Jupiter is finally getting its act together and going direct. Finally, growth can feel more like it's actually growing! However, it's not a time to totally relax. We still have Mercury retrograde going on, though it's in its downswing (goes direct March 20). The Saturn-Neptune conjunction is still active in the background, continuing to ask us to make dreams real

We're looking at a busy week this week. People have been talking about the upcoming lunar eclipse on Tuesday, but we also have some other major transits to be aware of. Mercury retrograde is in full swing, lending an energy of communication troubles and reminding us not to make assumptions. But the real story this week is Venus. On Friday, Venus enters Aries and immediately walks into the Saturn-Neptune conjunction zone that's been the backdrop of 2026 so far. Venus will conj

I hope everyone is holding on after the eclipse last week. We did get a rest at the beginning of this week with that Venus trine Jupiter. We get to ride that energy of compassion and creative inspiration a little while longer (through Feb 24th) before the aspect separates. Enjoy it while it lasts, my friends. We have rough spots on the way this week. If you take nothing else from the energy of this week, keep in mind that we are heading into a Mercury Retrograde in Pisces. Be

Greetings friends.  I believe the rest of you have noticed as I have that the beginning of this year has been wild, energetically speaking. Shifts in the old ways that we used to live our lives... shake ups in the day to day. And, if you're anything like me, it's felt like it's been getting stronger the more we move along. Like being caught up in a riptide going... somewhere. This week we're going to talk about why. Saturn and Neptune have been moving together since late last

This week is powerful. Like, really powerful. We're dealing with some major cosmic shifts. The kind that only happens every few years or decades. Saturn is changing signs for the first time since 2023, moving from Pisces into Aries. We've got a Solar Eclipse in Pisces to close out the week. Venus is shifting into her most comfortable placement. This isn't a week of minor adjustments. This is foundational change. The energy might feel intense, emotional, and possibly overwhelm

We begin this week still feeling the effects of Sunday's Full Moon in Leo. Full Moons bring things to a peak; emotions, situations, clarity about what needs to be released. In Leo, this lunation asks us to look at how authentically we're expressing ourselves and where we might be holding back our creative spark or unique gifts. This Full Moon opposed the Sun, Venus, and Mars, all in Aquarius. Leo represents the individual heart. What brings YOU joy, what makes YOU feel alive.

Neptune Enters Aries – January 26 Let’s start with the major shift that’s been getting the most attention this week: Neptune’s return to Aries. After a brief first pass earlier this year, Neptune is now moving fully back into this sign, where it will remain for the next fourteen years. You’re likely to hear a lot of comparisons to the last time Neptune was in Aries, particularly references to the period leading up to the Civil War. That era was marked by people fighting fierc

In a fitting bit of irony, today has been all over the place. It's only fitting that the Eight of Wands should shot it's face while things feel like they are moving along faster than I was exactly ready for them to. The Eight of Wands is a high energy, high movement card. Many of the struggles are over and you can hit it back into high gear! Yes, this can mean being very busy, but in this case, that busyness is a sign of forward motion. Things are moving in the right directi

I have spent a great many years attempting to perfect the art of meditation. Spoiler: Is isn't something that can be perfected, but alas. Every time I closed my eyes I was welcomed with naught but a black void. Aside from the constant moving static from visual snow, but that is another matter entirely. Most of the people I talked to told me it was a matter of practicing more... so, I did. And I did... And I did... and nothing changed. I never saw the lovely landscapes or colo
