The Winds of Change
When a planet falls in the first decan—the first ten degrees of its sign—it signals a beginning. Something is being born there. These are energies in the process of becoming. In Evolutionary Astrology, the first decan reflects a soul still finding its footing, feeling out the terrain by touch, instinct, and direct experience. It’s initiatory. It’s raw. And it doesn’t yet know where it’s going—but it knows it can’t stay where it was.
Right now, seven planets are in the early degrees of their signs. When we observe these first-decan planets in the outer world, we’re not just analyzing individual charts. We’re witnessing the sky itself guiding us into new territory. These planetary positions indicate a global initiation—a collective soul expanding, burning, stumbling, and awakening all at once.
The Sun in Cancer (0°–10°) Something deep within the world is turning inward, longing for home—not just a shelter, but a true sense of belonging. This Cancer Sun signals the first cries of a new emotional cycle. We’re rediscovering what it means to truly feel. But feeling doesn’t come easily in a world designed to numb us. This Sun highlights a return of care, kinship, and ancestral wisdom—but we’re still learning how to support each other. It’s gentle, and it’s just starting.
The Moon in Gemini (0°–10°) is turning emotion into language. But with the Moon so early in Gemini, it’s more questions than answers. The world is flooded with information—tweets, texts, AI voices, data streams—and beneath it all, the emotional body is trying to connect. This Moon shows a collective need to talk things out—to think through our feelings and feel through our thoughts. We’re exploring how to stay connected in a fractured, fast-paced world.
Mars in Virgo (0°–10°) brings a new intention focused on healing and repair. Mars in early Virgo doesn’t act impulsively; it observes, fine-tunes, and questions its motives. This is a drive to do what’s right, even if the path isn’t clear. We see it in movements that demand accountability, environmental restoration, and practical reform. There’s a sense of urgency here, but it’s grounded in conscience. This Mars is learning to serve without martyrdom and to act with integrity, not just efficiency.
Jupiter in Cancer (0°–10°)
Faith is moving into the waters of memory. With Jupiter so early in Cancer, the collective seeks meaning in the past: in ancestry, land, blood, and bone. There’s a hunger for emotional truth and spiritual nourishment that isn’t abstract but felt. However, the risk is nostalgia that turns into fear. The evolutionary invitation here is to grow through empathy—to make the personal sacred again, not as a retreat but as renewal.
Saturn in Aries (0°–10°) is shaping a new sense of self. It’s raw. It’s untested. It falls and then gets back up. The world is seeing the early stages of a new kind of authority—one built from courage, not control. This is where protest meets pressure, and self-determination becomes more than just a phrase. We’re learning how to lead from the core of our own being, not from reaction. Saturn here is building strength, one hard-earned step at a time.
Neptune in Aries (0°–10°)
The dream is no longer passive; it’s igniting into flame. Neptune in Aries signals the end of suffering through sacrifice and the start of vision through action. We see spiritual uprisings, art as protest, and collective grief turning into collective will. But it’s still a raw energy—unclear, easily distorted, and prone to projection. Still, the call is genuine. The soul of the world is learning to burn clean: to channel the dream through the body and to stand for what it imagines.
Pluto in Aquarius (0°–10°)
This marks the evolutionary frontier. With Pluto now in Aquarius, we are undergoing a profound transformation of the collective soul. Technology advances faster than consciousness, and systems of power are being reshaped—sometimes abruptly, sometimes subtly. The old ways are breaking down, and the new isn’t yet stable. We are experimenting with what it means to be human together. An ongoing revolution is happening—not just outside but within our own nervous systems. Pluto in Aquarius questions: can we be free and connected? Can we evolve without coming apart?
These are not energies that arrive fully formed. They’re in motion, in question, in process. The world right now is in its first decan of a new era—initiating, experimenting, searching for a future that isn’t yet shaped.
We’re not standing on solid ground.
We are the ground being made.
And evolution never waits for certainty.
They come not to break you,
but to bless—
not as a curse, but as consecration.
The winds of change arrive like gods
with open hands
and a wild invitation.
They gather in your quiet places,
stir the stillness with their song—
a breath of life too vast to name,
too sacred to be wrong.
Air, first to rise, surrounds your soul—
it does not ask, it enters.
It lifts the dust from long-lost dreams
and fans your buried embers.
It speaks: Breathe deep, beloved one,
you are not meant to drown.
This breath, this wind, this unseen force—
it lifts, it moves, it crowns.
Then fire arrives with radiant grace,
a sacred blaze of light.
It burns away the fragile past and makes your spirit shine.
No flame will scorch what’s truly yours—it only clears space
for who you are becoming
in love’s warm embrace.
Water falls in silver sheets,
a gentle and sacred tide.
It flows through every open wound
you’ve carried deep inside.
But this is not a storm of sorrow, rather a baptism, a balm —
it carves a river through your life
and leaves a calm behind.
At last, the earth welcomes you whole—no longer just a part.
The ground is solid beneath your feet and rich in your heart.
What has been uprooted can now grow,
what is cracked can now hold—because you have passed through every gate
and stand in truth once more.
So bless the wind, and bless the flame,
the flood, the stone, the sky.
You are the child of every change
You live, you rise, you fly.
