The year’s sky
Mars stations retrograde in January and direct in April. This is a shared astronomical sequence, not a claim that everyone will face the same delay. As an editorial prompt, it suggests checking the design of an effort before deciding whether to press ahead. A revised route can preserve an aim while changing the resources it demands.
Jupiter enters Virgo in July. The twelve sign essays below use that same event differently: for Leo it prompts a look at the support behind visibility, for Virgo at the purpose of growth, and for Capricorn at how learning improves a structure. These connections are symbolic Sun-sign interpretations. They are not natal-house positions or a calculation based on an individual birth time.
Saturn’s August retrograde and December direct stations create another long interval for reviewing commitments. A person’s real situation matters more than the label attached to a planet. Use these dates to choose a useful question, then test the answer against your circumstances, other people’s needs, and practical evidence. The year also includes lunar phases, sign ingresses, and other exact events in the separate sky calendar.
