the Breakthrough week.
23 February, 2025 - 1 March, 2025 (my week starts on Monday [always] so this is NOT my usual week forecast - this is the block we’re discussing & I’m rolling with it.
When we view Astrology as a whole - it can become overwhelming. When you’re first starting, when you’re in the THICK of it… & even for years of study to come. Sometimes we need to scale back - view a FEW planets from above & work with THAT energy for a time. As I’ve stated before: Astrology is a VERY helpful tool as you awaken, plant seeds for manifestation, release & celebrate. Flowing WITH the cycles of the Moon & your chart… & not against it.
If you’re new around here (FIRST of all - WELCOME!!) know that I wear these big ol glasses & like to view things through lenses as I teach. This week we have a HUGE opportunity where ALL planets will be moving direct. All systems GO, full steam ahead, moving FORWARD in whatever direction we choose. This is only for ONE WEEK as Venus begins her Retrograde on the 1st of March (SAT). So let’s break this down - step by step & find out what this means for YOU.
Tracking MARS: the Breakthrough Begins.
MARS.
Tracking MARS has been a VERY triggering & activating experience for us all. This week he is finally moving direct after being Retrograde since early December, 2024. As we have been given the opportunity to view our REACTIONS to the “outside world” in the past few months… I would love for you to take a few moments & ask yourself:
how did I do?
How did I respond when things either did or didn’t go “my way”?
How kind to myself was I?
How did I judge myself & my present reality?
How did I act to others? Was a cruel or kind?
What about others whom don’t share the same reality as I do? How did I act towards THEM?
If things felt SLOW - did I slow WITH them or fight the current?
When Mars was in LEO this was sparkplug energy. But with Mars in Cancer - this is the soft crab: poke at my & I will SNAP back. There might be a situation in your life that you have NO control over… or something has “fallen apart” or you’ve felt “stuck” or exhausted or ANGRY but with no where to put it! No one to “take it out on” & you had to sit in (with) it. Look at it. Love it (yourself) & be okay with NOT being okay.
We originally introduced the tracking of MARS energy in Power meets Softness on YouTube back in September, 2024. This is going to be a super exciting journal entry for each of us THIS week (you know my love affair with Pen & Paper Journaling). How we’ve been navigating this transit is going to be a wonderful opportunity to either A: view how much we’ve grown & celebrate ourselves! Or B: view ourselves with LOVE & take this moment to make some shifts to our assertion, aggression & attitude when things either go or don’t go our way. For my Chart Reading Astrology Community - the area of our chart we can really focus on is between Cancer 17° & Leo 6°. WHY? This is where we got that retrograde windshield wiper.

What have you learned, Dorothy?
There is SO MUCH to unpack here! I have a VIDEO companion to go with this energy as we are right in the MIDDLE of it all! When we find ourselves in the MIDDLE of a Quest - what can that look like?
The EYE of the storm.
The TOP of the Mountain.
The lay-over airport.
Where (sometimes) we can view the path ahead as INFINITE & the path behind… we somewhat forget. I would love for us to REALLY take this precious week & ACT. This could be as simple as setting a new boundary, wearing something NEW, posting something AUTHENTIC, launching a website, setting an INTENTION (New Moon in Pisces) or choosing to walk away instead of fighting what no longer serves us.
** ALWAYS remember - walking TOWARDS something & away from something are two WILDLY different energies. Choose wisely.
VENUS.
We have been Tracking VENUS since December, 2024 & she is a KEY player in my 2025 Workbook - ON SALE NOW.
What I LOVE about our planet of LOVE during this time is that she is going FIRST & making conjunctions with MASSIVE outer planets while running head on into Eclipse Season. I love how 1 MARCH begins her retrograde - as if she’s whispering to us: “lead with LOVE… even when I’m not around. Love yourSELF first… the rest will come. TRUST the plan & path laid before you. KNOW that magic is possible. Implement what you’ve learned! NOW is your time!”
… I know, this doesn’t feel like a whisper (she’s in Aries as I write this) but a SHOUT from across the sky. LISTEN.
My video companion to go with Tracking VENUS - Let Her Lead You to a LIFE-CHANGING Leap could be a POWERFUL space to receive & understand a bit about the Yin side of ourselves (we ALL have this energy in our chart & ALL have a feminine side).

What this means for YOU.
This energy is no joke. It is worthy of our attention & THERE for the harnessing… or wasting.
You’ve got this ONE clear week of all planets direct to listen to the energy & answer the call - OR wait until 12 April, 2025 when Venus goes direct - Mercury will be finished with His Rx by then so this will be your final time of ALL planets direct before Retrograde Season begins. 4 MAY, 2025 is when Pluto goes Retrograde & kicks it all off.
What has been coming up for you, lately in the realms of Mars & Venus? Assertion & Intuition? Wealth & Wealth? Masculine & Feminine? Giving & Receiving? Action & Inaction? How have you felt balanced? How have you felt off? How have you LOVED yourself during this time? Have you responded or reacted? Have you judged or allowed?
Have you fought the current? Or Surrendered? Put DOWN your sword & looked over the map again. This week - the Breakthrough week - is GOING to open something up for us all.
Are we ready to answer the call when it comes in? Or are we too frustrated to hear the phone ring.
Are we in bliss & READY for what the planets are showing us!! Or are we in fear & sinking into imposter syndrome. My Video Companion to Tracking MARS is titled: The Breakthrough Begins. THIS IS IT.
Let’s see how it goes!
I love you. What questions do you have for me? I hope you all ENJOY the shifting of the tides & find clarity within whatever is coming up for you right now!
