Sun Enters Gemini

The Sun enters Gemini on May 20th at exactly 7:59 a.m. CDT and will stay there until June 20th. Let's shift our focus from seeking comfort and security to building connections and cultivating a diverse mental experience. For the next four weeks, express yourself eloquently, strive for variety, and enjoy engaging your mind.

Sun Enters Aries

The Sun enters Aries on March 19th at exactly 10:06 pm and will stay here until April 19th. This is a significant change for the Sun, who will be leaving the watery depths of Pisces and moving into the fiery Mars-ruled sign of Aries. Adding to this intensity are two upcoming eclipses bringing with them important beginnings and endings as well as indications of what’s to come.

Sun Enters Pisces

The Sun enters Pisces on February 18th at exactly 10:13 pm CST and will stay here until March 19th. After being in Capricorn and Aquarius, the Sun finally escapes Saturn’s rulership and can now enjoy being under Jupiter’s control. For the next four weeks, express your emotions more openly and be more sensitive in your intentions as you accept life’s mysteries.

Sun Enters Virgo

The Sun enters Virgo on August 23rd at exactly 4:01 pm CDT and will stay here until September 22nd. Virgo’s ruler Mercury will be retrograde for most of this time, making the next four weeks more challenging than usual. Although this may be a frustrating period for many of us, we can use it to work on our problem-solving techniques and be more thoughtful about our intentions.

Sun Enters Aries

The Sun enters Aries on March 20th at exactly 4:24 pm CDT and will stay here until April 20th. Although Aries is not one of the Sun’s home signs, it is territory the Sun feels very honored in as it has both exaltation and day triplicity in Aries. The Sun’s entry into Aries coincides with the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and also marks the beginning of the astrological New Year.

Sun Enters Pisces

The Sun enters Pisces on February 18th at exactly 4:34 pm CST and will stay here until March 20th. For the last few months, we’ve been dealing with a strong Saturn-ruled Sun, which definitely made our choices feel much more serious and consequential. Now we can focus on making decisions that take our emotions into account and learn to pay attention to our sensitivities, as both give us important information about ourselves and how we interplay with the wider world.

Sun Enters Aquarius

The Sun enters Aquarius on January 20th at exactly 2:30 am CST and will stay here until February 18th. The Sun in Aquarius is much more curious about bigger concepts and sees matters from an all-encompassing perspective. This is not the time for us to be myopic or close-minded. For the next four weeks, focus on looking ahead wisely with a cool head.

Sun Enters Capricorn

The Sun enters Capricorn on December 21st at exactly 3:48 pm CST and will stay here until January 20th. This also marks a Solstice as the light of the Sun reverses course, and the days either get longer or shorter depending on the hemisphere. For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, we can begin to work our way out of winter’s darkness as we reflect on the tougher lessons we’ve learned this year.

Sun Enters Sagittarius

The Sun enters Sagittarius on November 22nd at 2:20 am CST and will stay here until December 21st. Another planet gets out of Mars’ rule and is ruled now by Jupiter in Pisces, helping us go through life with a little more lightness and levity. Although we shouldn’t take that to mean that everything is fun and jokes now - Jupiter is in Pisces, so we still must remember to be kind and compassionate above all else.

Sun Enters Scorpio

The Sun enters Scorpio on October 23rd at exactly 5:36 am CDT and will stay here until November 22nd. This will be quite a significant change for the Sun, who is leaving cool, detached, and logical Libra and entering the intense waters of Scorpio. The situation gets even more chaotic as the Sun’s ruler in Scorpio, Mars, will be retrograde. This Scorpio season may be turbulent in ways we never expected.

Sun Enters Libra

The Sun enters Libra on September 22nd at exactly 8:04 pm CDT and will stay here until October 23rd. This transit will provide a little relief during this stressful and often chaotic time, especially after September 29th, when Venus enters Libra. Then we will have the Sun ruled by a very strong Venus, which should help us smooth over a few rough spots.

Sun Enters Virgo

The Sun enters Virgo on August 22nd at exactly 10:16 pm CDT and will stay here until September 22nd. This Virgo season will be a little different than usual because Mercury, the Sun’s ruler, will retrograde in Libra starting September 9th. Whatever important decisions we’d like to make, we should make them soon.

Sun Enters Gemini

On Friday, May 20th, the Sun enters Gemini at exactly 8:23 pm CDT and will stay here until June 21st. This will not be a palpable change, as the Sun’s ruler, Mercury, re-enters Taurus on Sunday as it goes through its retrograde cycle. We may feel like we are stuck, dealing with the same old matters for a while still. Still, we can look forward to the second half of June, when we finally get some true Gemini energy and momentum.

Sun Enters Capricorn

The Sun enters Capricorn on December 21st at exactly 9:59 am CST and will stay here until January 19th. The way we express ourselves and make decisions becomes a little more serious as Saturn becomes the Sun’s ruler forcing us to be more orderly and responsible for the next four weeks. We will really see that we need to be consistent and disciplined if we want to reach our goals or desires.
