February 12 - Full Snow Moon

The Moon that usually occurs when there is snow blanketing the land. It is a time of relying on the things we have stored up and a time of staying around the home and hearth. This time of year the natural World has to work a bit harder to find what it needs to survive and has to “dig deeper” to find the food and things buried in the snow.

It is a lesson to always be prepared and willing to do the work necessary to set ourselves up for success and abundance. This is also a time when the Great Mother is at rest and being replenished by the nutrients and rebirth that comes with the snowfalls. Likewise, we are reminded to make sure we are rested and willing to be rebirthed into the next expression of our own selves. Gather close at home with those you love. Enjoy the quiet times. Be thankful for the abundance you have and dig deeply into the potentials of what could be. This is the lesson of this Full Moon.

February 28 - Alignment of 7 Planets

In the evenings around February 28, look up to see seven planets gracing the sky at once! Five of them — Saturn, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Mars — will be visible to the naked eye, while Uranus and Neptune will require a pair of binoculars to view.

​

March 14 - Full Worm Blood Moon, which will have a total lunar eclipse

​

March 18-21 Dual Visibility of Venus

Venus is called the "evening star" and the "morning star," depending on when it appears. But this March, something rare will happen! Around its inferior conjunction with the Sun on March 23, Venus will be visible in both the morning and evening skies for a few days in the Northern Hemisphere.

​

March 29 - Partial Solar Eclipse

It will be visible for parts of the northeastern United States, eastern Canada, Greenland, Europe, Northwest Africa, and northwestern Russia. At its peak, the eclipse will reach a magnitude of 0.9376, meaning the Moon will nearly cover the Sun — though a thin solar crescent will still be visible.

May 5-6 - Eta-Aquariid Meteor Shower Peak on May 5-6

The Eta Aquariid meteor shower is best seen in the Southern Hemisphere, though it can also be observed up to around 40°N latitude. In 2025, it will peak on May 5-6. During the peak, you might see up to 50 meteors per hour. The meteor shower’s radiant rises in the pre-dawn hours and reaches its highest point around 8 a.m. local time. Known for producing long-lasting meteor trails, the Eta Aquariids promise a stunning display for early risers.

On August 12, at 05:30 GMT, Venus and Jupiter will be just 0° 52′ apart (you can cover them both with your outstretched little finger). See them on the eastern horizon before sunrise. Venus will shine brightly at magnitude -4, while Jupiter will be a little fainter at magnitude -1.9, but still visible to the naked eye.

November 3 - Taurid Swarm

Two branches of the Taurid meteor shower, the Southern and Northern Taurids, reach their peak in early November. The Southern Taurids peak on November 5 with up to 7 meteors per hour, while the Northern Taurids peak on November 12 with up to 5 meteors per hour. While these meteor rates may seem low, 2025 is a special "Taurid swarm" year, which means you could catch more bright meteors and fireballs. Keep your eyes on the sky for about a week around November 3 to get the best of the show! The Full Moon on November 5 could make observations trickier, so try to find a spot where the Moon is blocked by buildings, trees, or other objects. This will help you avoid the bright moonlight and spot more meteors.

December 14 - Geminid Meteor Shower’s Peak

​The most prolific meteor shower of 2025 is coming at the end of the year! The Geminids will peak on December 14, producing up to 150 meteors per hour. The waning crescent Moon (27% illuminated) won’t hinder the view.
