Roman Signer
Fire, 1987
Super 8mm film transferred to video (color, silent)

Roman Signer, in his work Fire (1987), captures the raw, uncontrolled moment of contact with the element – the fire of an explosion, which both destroys and liberates, transforming everything it touches. Despite being a silent video, the frames are charged with tension, reflecting the processes that unfold within us. It reminds us that true transformations often emerge in silence, deep within ourselves, through immense surges of energy that must find an outlet.

The fire in Signer’s work becomes a metaphor for this process – it demands courage to approach what is difficult, to face suffering or fears. Yet, at the same time, it is within this flame that the potential for rebirth lies. Similarly, this week feels like a moment where we stand before the fire of our experiences, ready to integrate them, allowing them to transform and empower us – laying new foundations for a truer, braver life.

Sometimes, we step into “bubbles” in our everyday lives that call for a pause. And right now, it’s one of those times. We find ourselves in the same circumstances, watching the same flow of events, the monotony of our reality, yet seeing it all as if through a glass. Or like a film where we recognize the characters and the storyline, realizing that we are both writers and directors, crafting it with each conscious or unconscious micro-decision we make. Standing in this space, we can either nod and return to the familiar script or truly understand that we are both the director and the main character. But for this, we have to make an effort to “walk through the fire” and open a new field full of new possibilities.

These are precious moments, worth “catching.” This week offers us precisely such an opportunity. It’s a chance to look at ourselves from a fresh perspective—without pretense, without running away. Feelings, memories, and even fears from the past may resurface. But instead of overwhelming us, they can become our greatest teachers—if we allow them to. This is the fire we must walk through to cleanse ourselves.

Mars in Cancer, harmonizing with Saturn in Pisces, inspires us to transform emotions into actions. For example, in our relationships with loved ones—perhaps it’s the time to have an important conversation or to repair something that not long ago seemed impossible to fix. This moment invites us to build solid inner foundations—the kind that allows us to stand firmly on the ground while staying open to something greater, something hard to name but deeply significant.

The highlight of this week is undoubtedly Mercury Cazimi in Aquarius—a moment of clarity when we suddenly “get it.” We feel what all of this is about—ourselves, our relationships, and what lies beyond the daily hustle. Yet, it’s not just a time for serious contemplation. It’s also an opportunity to start anew—perhaps with a bit more awareness, a bit more authenticity.

The path unfolding before us might not be easy—confronting our deepest limiting beliefs can be challenging. But it’s in these moments of trial that the greatest potential for transformation resides. Don’t be afraid to go deep! When we explore the deepest corners of our being, we give ourselves the chance to transform what sabotages our true selves. The energy of Venus in Aries, together with the dynamic interplay of the Lunar Nodes and Chiron, and the unique light of Mercury Cazimi in Aquarius, supports us on this path.

Don’t be afraid to walk through this symbolic fire—it is an act of courage that opens doors to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the discovery of the true potential that lies dormant within us. Only together can we create a reality that resonates with love and authenticity, rising from the ashes of fear as more conscious and compassionate beings.

Let’s do this. Give yourself a moment to pause, reflect, and emerge from this week a little freer, a little more… yourself.

Wishing you all the most beautiful revelations this week!

With cosmic love,
Flavia.

Square of Retrograde Mars in Cancer and Chiron in Aries

From the end of January, culminating on February 4, the square between retrograde Mars and Chiron could significantly influence our emotions and actions. Frustration stemming from difficulties in carrying out plans—especially those driven by emotions tied to the past and the need to protect loved ones—may prompt impulsive reactions. Chiron in Aries unveils old wounds tied to a compromised sense of identity, often manifesting as a fear of assertiveness, while simultaneously pointing to the necessity of healing them.

Venus steps into fiery Aries, bringing with it an energy of passion, courage, and directness in relationships and in how we welcome closeness, beauty, and pleasures. This is a time of intense emotions, spontaneous actions, and expressing feelings openly and decisively. Relationships take on a refreshing tone of unbridled exploration—we feel the urge to act here and now, without waiting for the “perfect moment.”

When it comes to pleasures, there’s a dominant desire for thrilling experiences and discovering something new. We perceive beauty more dynamically, appreciating what is bold and expressive. Venus in Aries inspires us to celebrate authenticity and act in alignment with our desires.

However, such intensity calls for balance—it’s worth remaining mindful to avoid impulsiveness and excessive self-focus. Venus in Aries reminds us of the importance of finding harmony between a passionate approach and respect for the needs of others.

Jupiter in Gemini direct

February 4, 2025, 10:38 AM Warsaw / 2:38 AM Santa Fe

Just under two hours after Venus enters fiery Aries, Jupiter concludes its retrograde motion and returns to direct motion in Gemini. The retrograde period of Jupiter was a time of profound inner exploration, offering us the opportunity to reconnect with ourselves, the universe, and our unique place within the larger cosmic design.

Jupiter’s direct motion in Gemini brings a fresh wave of optimism, trust, and openness to new ideas. This is a time that nurtures communication, learning, and exploration—an ideal moment to seek new perspectives, forge connections, and harness the creativity of the mind. Jupiter invites us to believe in a “greater plan” and encourages the ego toward self-improvement, unlocking pathways to abundance and harmony. It’s the perfect moment to take on new challenges and follow the inspiration that propels us toward action and creative expression.

With Venus in Aries, infusing relationships and pleasures with energy, passion, and courage, this vibrant day invites us to act with an open heart and mind, merging passion with wisdom. The energy of these two planets supports both innovative approaches to relationships and bold actions that contribute to our growth and expansion.

This day carries the promise of change, guiding us toward new opportunities, connections, and challenges. May we fully immerse ourselves in this cosmic harmony and all the possibilities it offers.

Sunday

Trine between retrograde Mars in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces

≈ February 3–16 / Peak Moment: February 9, 2025, 2:14 PM Warsaw / 6:14 AM Santa Fe

Mercury Cazimi in Aquarius

February 9, 2025, 8:20 PM Warsaw / 12:20 PM Santa Fe

This weekend carries an extraordinary alchemical energy, inviting transformation and reflection. Today’s trine between retrograde Mars and Saturn connects an emotional perspective on the past with the wisdom of purposeful action. It’s a moment where old wounds and memories gain meaning—as lessons that enable us to build stable relationships and more genuine connections with those around us. Mars teaches us that action grounded in sensitivity is true strength, while Saturn in Pisces highlights the integration of what is unseen yet essential—intuition, faith, and energies far greater than ourselves.

When Mercury in Aquarius reaches its Cazimi phase, the universe seems to deliver truths that usually elude us amid daily distractions. During this rare moment of stillness within the chaos, we gain the ability to see things as they are—untainted by the masks or distortions of our fears and desires. It is a time when the mind pierces the veil separating different layers of reality, glimpsing the universal unity that connects us all.

Immersed in this energy, consider your relationships as a mirror—a space where you express your authentic self while encountering reflections of other souls. This is a moment to nurture these connections on a foundation of love and acceptance, leaving room for mutual healing. Understanding yourself as part of the cosmic whole makes it easier to see that what you bring into your relationships affects the entire structure of existence.

By recognizing your place in this infinite awareness, you release the burden of separation and isolation. This is not only an opportunity to understand yourself more deeply but also to co-create a better reality through your actions, ideas, and emotions. Mercury in Cazimi carries the reminder that every relationship, thought, and feeling is part of a greater mosaic—it’s up to us to decide what colors and forms we contribute to this cosmic masterpiece.
