The Last Week of Winter and Mercury Retrograde

The week ahead marks the closing chapter of winter and the final stretch of several important cosmic cycles. With major planetary shifts on the horizon, this moment offers a powerful opportunity to pause, reflect, and prepare for what comes next.

It is the final week of winter, and the last week of Mercury retrograde, a period commonly associated with reflection, revision, and recalibration.

These concluding days carry a sense of closure. They invite us to tie up loose ends, process lessons from the previous weeks, and prepare ourselves for the momentum that spring brings.

Entering Aries Season and the Astrological New Year

On the other side of this week lies a major energetic shift. We will enter Aries season, which coincides with the beginning of a new astrological year.

Aries, symbolized by the Ram, is the first sign of the zodiac and is associated with initiation and forward movement. This transition is especially notable because five planets (the Sun, Venus, Saturn, Neptune, and eventually Mars) will soon be moving through Aries.

Such a concentration of planetary energy in one sign creates an atmosphere of heightened momentum. In astrology, Aries energy encourages action, leadership, and bold beginnings. After the introspective tone of winter and Mercury retrograde, this shift suggests that the months ahead will be far more dynamic and action-oriented.

Launching the Saturn Sessions Series

In response to these powerful cosmic alignments, I will launch a new program this spring: the “Saturn Sessions.”

These gatherings will take place monthly throughout the spring season, designed as spaces for personal and collective focus.

The goal is to consciously work with the symbolic energy of the planets above through ritual, astrology readings, one-on-one coaching and community support, in order to clarify and crystallize our most meaningful aspirations.

Participants will come together to focus on:

* Their biggest dreams and ambitions

* Intentions for personal growth and transformation

* Aspirations not only for their own lives but also for the broader collective and the world at large

Beginning After the Equinox

Saturn in astrology is associated with discipline, structure, and long-term achievement. These sessions aim to channel that energy toward creating tangible progress and meaningful direction.

The first Saturn Sessions gathering will take place on Saturday, March 21—immediately following the spring equinox—a powerful moment for initiation. Astrologically and symbolically, it is an ideal time to begin new projects, set intentions, and step into the next phase of growth.

This timing is particularly meaningful because it precedes what is expected to be one of the most active astrological periods of 2026. You can join us each month, or personalize your experience by selecting one of three tiers:

TIER 1: Monthly Saturn Sessions ($111)TIER 2: Initial Astrology Reading + Saturn Sessions ($222)TIER 3: 1:1 Coaching + Astrology Reading + Saturn Sessions ($555).

Looking Ahead

As winter draws to a close and Mercury retrograde concludes, the coming days serve as a bridge between reflection and action. With the arrival of Aries season, the spring equinox, and a cluster of planets moving through Aries, the stage is set for a period of bold fresh starts and renewed momentum.
