Curious about Astrology?

At Stella Cura Wellness Consulting (formerly Natural Rhythms Consulting) the goal is to educate the curious about star wisdom found in the ancient system of Astrology.

In this system, there is nuance and mystery. There is layered multidimensionality, ancient yet contemporary, aesthetic and poetic.

Multivalent, it offers a blueprint and a language. Like parts of an intricate timepiece, the planets, signs, houses, and aspects synchronize development, awareness and growth. Deeply transformative, Astrology is much more than Sun signs.

"Nevertheless, it moves."
- Galileo Galilei

About Elizabeth Rozan

Attending to the energy and influence of the celestial domain is my passion and mission. I have been exploring psychospiritual development since 1968. This consciousness perspective is the foundation, the stella cura, of wellness.

Blending the traditional with the alternative, I hold academic degrees in Psychology, Writing and Interdisciplinary Studies, and full certification from the Professional Astrologers Alliance-National Council for Geocosmic Research (CA, PAA-NCGR), the International Society of Astrological Research (CAPISAR) and Church of Light (Teacher of Hermetics).

I have a steady practice of professional development, both in the field and beyond in complementary areas related to holistic health, energy work, body work, archetypal studies, relational dynamics, and trauma informed practices (individual, ancestral, and collective). Gestalt Therapy, Spiritual Development Mentorship, Tarot, Shamanic Studies, Inner Science Metaphysics, NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model), and Jungian Foundations are some of the areas that inform my practice.

Why Astrology?

The world needs individuated, interdependent, whole humans, able to step forward in courage, integrity and strength. Astrology goes a long way towards appreciating diversity, integrating experience, and aligning with purpose.

Synchronicity

Timing

The beginning of something
has significance.

Alignment

Date, time, and place of birth...These

ingredients create a unique mandala or pattern that symbolizes one's life project.

What happens in the sky relates
to what happens on Earth.

Depth

Sacred Trust

Astrology reveals a sacred trust mapped out in the horoscope.

Transformation

Development across the life span is made up of events and choices. There is what is, and the response to what is.

Planetary placement and cycles
provide insight for negotiating
current life challenges.

"As above, so below; as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul."
-Hermes Trismegistus

Celestial Navigation

One way to navigate the world of Astrology is to begin to develop a relationship with the planets. Their are many ways in to this relationship. The planets are multivalent, with layers of entry points and meaning. The planets form a personal mandala where challenges, gifts, and developmental unfolding occur. They have a place in the lineup of the distance from the Sun, and represent visitation from the Upper, Middle, and Underworld. They have associative pairings. Their movement can be tracked moment by moment, daily, monthly, yearly. They can be explored in terms of Natal, Horary, Mundane, and Electional.

Below is a monthly view, as seen in the chart of the current New Moon. The Sun and Moon set the tone, and the other planetary placements are arranged in relation to this tonal emphasis. Key astrological principles are demonstrated by this chart: the beginning of something has significance., and what happens in the sky influences what happens on Earth. This chart will be updated monthly.

The Sun, representing the fire of creativity, is the Invincible Spirit. A piece of the Sun is held within each person, thereby interweaving vitality with purpose. The great universal wonder of the Sun comes in small doses, distributed in powerful increments as it travels the analemma over the course of a year.

The Moon is the receiver of Spirit and through the Soul elements of the mind and emotions, reflects a response to the world through her silver light. The Moon delights in shape-shifting, and does so through repetitive ebb and flow, from night to day, and from New Moon to New Moon in eight predictable and visible phases over the course of the month.

Sabian Symbol for this New Moon at 28 Sagittarius 24:

An overweight boy, eager to reduce, is perspiring
as he mows the lawn.

This New Moon, underscored with the Leo Ascendant, emphasizes the 5th house. It is time to attend to the well-being of children, and the child within. Mars lends support to the upcoming conjunction of Saturn and Neptune, giving some muscle to the process of structuring dreams.

The Four Major Asteroids

These bodies represent dimensions of the Feminine. At this New Moon, their positions are as follows:

Ceres The Great Mother 04 Aries 40
Pallas The Warrior Daughter   19 Aquarius 11
Vesta The Sister   18 Capricorn 00
Juno The Wife   26 Sagittarius 33

The Planetary Line up

The planetary line up can be thought of as layered energy that is constantly moving and reconfiguring.

The Sun (the invincible spirit) and the Moon (the receiver) are the Lights that interplay with the Earth. These energies combine with the Ascendant to clarify the energetic thrust. The Lunar Nodes (forming the line of destiny) add dimension to this dynamic.

Individual personality takes on a hue when the Lights are combined with the personal planets:

Mercury (the Messenger),
Venus (the social healer), and
Mars (the warrior).

Opportunities and limitations define a breath-like expansion and contraction are shown through the social planets:

Jupiter (the Big Thinker), and

Saturn (the Limit Setter).

The inner planets bridge to the outer planets through Chiron (the shaman, or wounded healer).

The outer, transpersonal planets open to deeper layers of consciousness development:

Uranus (the Awakener to intuitive consciousness),

Neptune (the Mystical Masterful Magician of spiritual consciousness), and

Pluto (the Transformer through psychological consciousness).

These energies support the Individuation Process, which aims at integrating the energies at all levels and claiming the work of the lifetime.

Highlights of this New Moon

The Sun will enter 23 South Declination on December 11, 2025. This is the dark time of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, the southernmost point on the analemma. It reaches the limit at 23 S 26, where it stays for 3 days (the Standstill/Solstice, on the 20th, the 21st, and 22nd, and then recedes through Jan 1, when the light begins to return. The Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21st.

Mercury is Direct, moving though Sagittarius.
Venus is also moving through Sagittarius.
Mars is happily moving through Capricorn.

Jupiter remains in Cancer, retrograding back to 15 degrees through March 11, 2026.
Saturn is now Direct, moving once again through the last degrees of Pisces.

Chiron is Retrograde at 22 + Aries; when Direct, will move into Taurus in June, 2026.
Uranus remains Retrograde, backing up to 27 degrees of Taurus through Feb. 3, 2026.
Neptune is now Direct, at the last degree of Pisces.

The Nodal Axis balances at 11+ Pisces (N)/Virgo (S).

Eclipse Seasons

Eclipses involve the relationship between Sun, Moon, Nodal Axis, and Earth. There are typically two eclipse seasons each year. Solar Eclipses occur at New Moon. The Sun and Moon are conjunct and positioned so that the Sun is eclipsed (blocked) by the Moon. An eerie shadow of small crescents can be seen on the Earth's surface as the Moon passes, a reminder that this event is an upheaval as emotion supersedes logic. Lunar Eclipses occur at Full Moon. With the Sun and Moon in opposition, the Earth slips between them, casting a shadow on the Moon's surface, a reminder this mundane events are likely to impact the landscape. Exactitude occurs on the date listed, but each eclipse can have a 3-6 month effect, depending on proximity to natal position of Sun and Moon, as well as the position of the most proximal pre-natal eclipses.
2025 Eclipses
Mar. 14, 2025 Total Lunar 23 Virgo 57
Mar. 29, 2025 Partial Solar 09 Aries 00

Sept. 07, 2025 Total Lunar 15 Pisces 22
Sept 21, 2025 Partial Solar 29 Virgo 05

The eclipse seasons are completed for 2025. These degrees will hold vibrational sensitivity for some time.

"The New Moon teaches gradualness and deliberation, and how to give birth to oneself slowly. Patience with small details makes perfect the large work, like the universe."
