Finding Stillness in Times of Change

by sog_leandro | Aug 19, 2025 | Astrology

Dear friends of HAUT & SEIN,

I usually write my astrological thoughts at the end of the year. This allows me to give you an outlook on the topics for the coming year. But sometimes there are times that feel special – like now. That’s why I would like to share a few thoughts with you today, perhaps give you some inspiration and invite you to consciously take a moment for yourself.

The need to get closer to oneself, to find clarity and to consciously do something for oneself has been more noticeable than ever before. Many people are asking themselves: Am I really living the life I want? These quiet but powerful questions often lead to new insights and a desire to get organised and explore new paths.

People who simply want to do something good for themselves are looking for a place where they can gather, relax and get in touch with themselves, while at the same time doing something effective for their skin and well-being. This is exactly what I want to offer you with HAUT & SEIN: a place where care, inner peace and insight flow into one another and new energy can emerge.

We are in the midst of the air age

On 21 December 2020, a new era was ushered in. The rare conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in the zodiac sign of Aquarius presents us all with the task of changing our thinking. The linear logic of ‘higher, faster, further’, which has shaped our actions for centuries, is losing its significance. Instead, flexibility, mental agility and the recognition of connections are coming to the fore.

This era invites us to question familiar paths and become more open to new perspectives in order to expand our thinking and actions and develop further. It encourages us to let go of entrenched structures that no longer serve us and to create space for change – both internally and externally. Right now, many people feel the desire to engage more intensively with themselves, to question old patterns and to gain inner clarity in order to achieve a better understanding of themselves and the world around them.

A condensed period from August to October 2025

Periods of time can sometimes become so condensed that the past, present and future converge at a single point. From August to mid-October 2025, we will experience just such a phase: powerful, multi-layered and full of inner movement.

Several major planets – Pluto, Neptune, Saturn and Chiron – are in retrograde motion, inviting us to pause, look back and resolve unfinished issues. At the same time, Jupiter and Uranus bring fresh impetus, although Uranus will also enter a retrograde phase on 6 September.

At the centre of these weeks is a harmonious talent triangle between Pluto (Aquarius), Uranus (Gemini) and Neptune (Aries), structured by Saturn. This constellation opens up the possibility of weaving insight, vision, intuition and energy into a constructive force – both in the personal and collective fields.

• Pluto reminds us to consciously deal with inner strength, life energy and processes of change.
• Uranus opens doors to new perspectives, technological advances and surprising insights.
• Neptune inspires empathy, ideals and wholeness, while urging us to avoid self-deception.
• Saturn provides discipline, a sense of reality and a sense of responsibility so that visions can take on a viable form.

These weeks invite us to review what we are used to, let go of what is outdated and feel more clearly what guides us deep inside. Those who use these forces consciously, respectfully and with heart can initiate developments that will have a lasting effect.

August highlights – subtle but effective

• Saturn (Aries) and Uranus (Gemini) in sextile, exact on 12 August: Stability meets renewal. Proven approaches can be developed wisely and new approaches find traction.
• Uranus-Neptune sextile, exact on 29 August: vision and innovation intertwine. Projects with creative, social or meaningful aspirations receive quiet but lasting support.
• Mercury goes direct in Leo on 10 August: after a phase of inner clarification, it becomes easier to organise your thoughts and express them warmly, clearly and authentically.
• Mars in Libra: Actions need to be balanced – diplomatic, considered, without losing sight of yourself.

September – Review, reality and turning points

• Saturn returns to Pisces on 1 September: What previously seemed clear becomes softer, and processes shift more inward.
• Uranus station on 6 September: Restless but inspiring dynamics – favourable for course corrections, provided you avoid rushing into things.
• Total lunar eclipse on 7 September (visible in Germany, Austria and Switzerland): A moment of reflection – the past comes to the fore, issues need to be sorted out, named or resolved.
• Partial solar eclipse around 21 September (new moon opposite Saturn) and autumn equinox on 22 September: Questions of responsibility, clarity and direction come to the fore, and the first signs of developments emerge that will regain importance in February 2026.

The grand arc: Saturn–Neptune 2025/26

Since this summer, a larger cycle has been unfolding: Saturn and Neptune will meet in a rare conjunction several times between summer 2025 and summer 2026 (including again in February 2026) – at the beginning of the sign of Aries, the degree of new beginnings. This series asks quietly but urgently:

• Which dreams are allowed to take shape?
• What is projection – and what can be let go?
• Where does vision need form, structure and commitment?

Historically, Saturn-Neptune conjunctions have often coincided with significant social upheavals, as demonstrated by the changes around 1989 and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Today, it is less about dramatic ruptures than about sustainable renewal: combining visions with a sense of reality – step by step.

Conclusion: A time for deep reflection and conscious action

Late summer and early autumn 2025 combine reflection and new beginnings. Those who are prepared to pause and carefully consider which doors are opening and which are better left closed will receive valuable inspiration. Clarity, integrity and compassion are crucial during this time. Those who combine vision with a sense of reality, act with sincerity and have the courage to let go of the old can now set the course – for their own lives and for a more humane future. In my own way, I would like to help shape this change – not in a grand political sense, but through personal contact.

New: COSMOS & COSMETICS Compact

Since 2023, I have been offering COSMOS & COSMETICS, a special treatment that combines skin care, coaching and astrological inspiration into a unique experience. Due to popular demand, a shorter version has now been created: COSMOS & COSMETICS Compact – ideal for a first encounter or a focused deep dive.

Here, I combine the essence of my astrological consultation with a finely tuned facial treatment. In a soothing atmosphere, I pamper you with high-quality, organic skincare products while using my highly sensitive perception to open myself up to what moves you deep inside. At the same time, I focus on the central constellations of your birth chart in order to incorporate those impulses that can give you special orientation and clarity at this moment.

In this condensed time, we devote ourselves to a topic that is currently in the foreground – be it a decision, a new beginning or a question that has been seeking an answer for a long time. The astrological impulses flow together with touch and conversation. The result is inner alignment and outer radiance.

After this encounter, you will feel a deep inner peace and a clear awareness of your own strengths. Your face will radiate relaxation and your being will exude a quiet certainty that will allow you to go out into the world feeling empowered.

Understanding the skin – knowledge that has a visible effect

Inner contentment, restful sleep and kind self-care are the most important factors for radiant skin. Emotional stress and lack of sleep are quickly reflected in the complexion: the skin appears more tired, moisture evaporates more easily, the skin barrier becomes more vulnerable and more impurities develop. Regeneration begins in the evening – those who sleep poorly at night often see this immediately.

Please do not choose products ‘blindly’. High-quality active ingredient cosmetics optimally support the sensitive interaction between skin and psyche. In my range, you will find selected products from renowned manufacturers, which I also use in my treatments – individually tailored to your skin. I would be happy to advise you personally.

Dear friends of HAUT & SEIN,

I cordially invite you to take advantage of this special time for yourself – with a treatment that not only benefits your outer appearance, but also gives you new clarity within. Together, we will bring your HAUT & SEIN into harmony.

Yours, Jana Pákozdi

2025 – Growing Through Transformation

by HAUTundSEIN | Dec 17, 2024 | Astrology

Dear Friends of HAUT & SEIN,

As 2025 approaches, we stand at the threshold of a profound era of change—astrologically, socially, and politically. The developments of the past yearshaken us up, revealing the fragility of what we once considered stable. Political events, such as the unexpectedly broad support for Donald Trump’s reelection or the announcement of new elections in Germany, highlight the volatility of the globalsituation. Added to this are deepening global tensions spurred by economic uncertainty, societal upheavals, and crises like the ongoing conflictin Ukraine. These times call us to pause and strengthen the connection to our inner compass..

The year ahead is defined by intense astrological energies that present both challenges and opportunities for personal and collective growth. It invites us to engage with change consciously, finding stability not in external circumstances but within ourselves. This inner grounding transforms change from a perceived threat into an opportunity. As we navigate these shifts, the essence of what truly matters will come into sharper focus—for us as individuals and for a society amid profound transformation.

A pivotal astrological moment occurs on November 19, 2025, when Pluto finally transitions from Capricorn into Aquarius. This shift not only heralds a new cosmic chapter but also offers a profound opportunity for each of us to redefine our paths. In your personal horoscope, Pluto’s placement reveals where this powerful energy can be harnessed to bring you closer to your true potential. Pluto in Aquarius opens the door to dissolving outdated structures and crafting new visions—a crucial step in personal transformation. While Pluto symbolizes the possibility of sweeping societal change, its energy requires cooperation and mutual respect to foster greater freedom and fresh forms of community. Aquarius is a multifaceted sign, embodying both the desire for individual freedom and self-expression as well as the need to act harmoniously with others. Initially, these dynamics may lead to conflicts, but over time, they hold the potential to yield profound, positive transformations.

Adding to the year’s transformative energy, Saturn and Neptune cross the “cosmic threshold”—moving from 29 degrees Pisces to 1 degree Aries. This rare conjunction signals the start of a new cycle, blending dreams with reality and urging us to manifest our visions through responsibility and patience. It’s a time of endings and beginnings, a reminder that growth often demands change.

The retrogrades od the planets

The planetary retrogrades of 2025 play a particularly significant role:

Mars Retrograde (December 7, 2024 to February 24, 2025): A period for reflecting on the past, gathering strength, and finding inner stillness. This is a time to focus on essentials and reassess planned endeavors.

Venus Retrograde (March 2 to April 13): An invitation to clarify relationships, address emotional themes, and uncover what truly fulfills us. Deepen connections or let go of those that no longer serve you.

Mercury Retrograde (March 15 to April 7, July 18 to August 11, November 9 to 29): Ideal for resolving misunderstandings, revising projects, and gaining new perspectives. These periods encourage mindful and reflective communication.

By mid-May, a renewed sense of optimism emerges. The conjunction of Venus and Mars brings a lighthearted energy that inspires both relationships and creative projects. This is a moment to embrace new opportunities with courage and joy, while staying grounded and realistic. The summer offers opportunities to bring ideas to fruition, while autumn reminds us to remain flexible and attentive.

The first half of the year, particularly during Mars’ retrograde phase (December 7, 2024 to February 24, 2025) may feel like an energetic pause. You might experience fatigue, uncertainty, or a sense of stagnation. Yet within this pause lies an invitation to reflect, reassess, and refine your decisions and projects. This period encourages patience and a thoughtful examination of unresolved conflicts or unprocessed emotions, especially around assertiveness or anger.

This period encourages patience and a thoughtful examination of unresolved conflicts or unprocessed emotions.

Old conflicts or unresolved issues – particularly in relation to assertiveness and anger – often come to the fore again. Conflicts and misunderstandings appear more intense, technical or mechanical problems occur more frequently. However, instead of reacting impulsively, it is worth questioning the causes of tensions and looking for solutions with patience. The Mars retrograde phase also offers the opportunity to reflect on old projects and to improve and complete existing ones.

A significant aspect from Mars to Chiron (late January to mid-April) highlights old wounds and vulnerabilities. This is a call to approach yourself and others with sensitivity and to learn from past experiences. This combination of Mars’ dynamism and Chiron’s healing energy offers a chance to dissolve inner blockages and develop deeper resilience.

The year 2025 shows us that change cannot be avoided. However, it challenges us to consciously shape it­—with courage, openness and trust.

In my work, I witness daily how closely external care and internal clarity are intertwined. Treatments such as “UNTER DER HAUT” or “KOSMOS UND KOSMETIK” create a space for both physical renewal and inner calm. The “KOSMOS UND KOSMETIK” treatment in particular can help you align the energies of your natal chart with your personal growth journey.

In coaching sessions, I use my intuitive perception to help you uncover your true life values and aspirations. Together, we bring clarity to your goals and align them with your personal values. Astrology offers valuable insights and fresh perspectives, serving as a tool for deeper self-exploration. While it cannot make decisions for you, it often provides the clarity needed to move forward with confidence.

Would you like to offer a unique gift to a loved one or friend as the year ends? A gift voucher from HAUT & SEIN provides the opportunity for a personalized astrological consultation or a rejuvenating treatment—offering both a glimpse into the stars and a restorative experience for body and soul.

Jana Pákozdi

2024 – challenges are opportunities

by sog_leandro | Dec 21, 2023 | Astrology

Dear Friends of HAUT & SEIN,

In 2024, we will continue our journey through the astrological Air Era. In my last yearly horoscopes, I already emphasised the challenges of this era, which has represented a revolutionary turning point since 2020.

The transition of Pluto from Capricorn to Aquarius between March and June 2023 undoubtedly marked a high point of particular significance. During this time span, AI technology became accessible to everyone. This not only emphasises the rapid development in this area, but also fits into a framework in which major social changes are imminent. Pluto embodies not only challenges, but also profound experiences of influence and powerlessness. At the same time, however, it harbours the potential for renewal and healing. In the era of Pluto in Capricorn, as a symbol of social order, the basic principles of togetherness were critically questioned. The focus on success and performance, combined with an uninterrupted pursuit of growth, increasingly replaced the appreciation of individuality and personal fulfilment.

In the last 200 years of the Earth Era, revolutions in industry, technology and medicine took centre stage – with measurable successes, but also an excessive consumption of resources. Now we are entering an era that is focusing on priorities that must be redefined. Old habits need to be reconsidered in favour of innovative ways of thinking and acting. The digital world is accelerating rapidly and, at the same time, mental flexibility, creativity, spirituality and holistic thinking are gaining in importance. In the astrological Air Era, it becomes clear that inner mental growth can be achieved by feeling and strengthening one’s own being. A deep connection unfolds when we realise that we are all interconnected and globally connected. Overcoming the feeling of separation and critically questioning the status quo are of great importance. By taking more personal responsibility, we unfold our potential and create space for compassion, mutual consideration and cooperation – these are attitudes that correspond to this new era, even if this may not yet seem so in view of current events in the world.

Despite the persistence of vested interests on the part of financial players and corporate leaders, the community of visionary thinkers will grow in order to contribute with persuasive power and help create something new with inner strength. The current rhetoric of war, the energy crisis and the challenges in healthcare reflect our social standpoint and clearly show what changes are immediately necessary.

On 21 January 2024, Pluto moves from Capricorn into the sign of Aquarius in the second round, marking the actual departure of an old era. This transition will decisively drive the future developments of the Air Era and stands for individual development opportunities as well as an innovative definition of freedom. Pluto in Aquarius overturns old values to create space for new ideas and deeper cooperation.

Between 2 September and 19 November, Pluto enters Capricorn once again before finally moving into the sign of Aquarius for a good 20 years. This powerful change creates space for new structures. A similar constellation last took place during the French Revolution and paved the way for democracy.

Pluto is not the only one to exert its influence in the new year. On 21 April, the planet of happiness Jupiter and the reformation planet Uranus create a harmonious connection in the practical sign of Taurus – a rare constellation that only occurs every 14 years. This alignment promises a certain ease in letting go of the old and the outdated. Uranus encourages us to see all things new as an exciting alternative, while the harmonious connection to Jupiter makes it possible to implement changes calmly.

Saturn and Neptune remain in the empathetic sign of Pisces throughout the year. From January to May, they form harmonious constellations that can have a positive effect on our personal sphere and possibly support us during this turbulent time. Nevertheless, this overall constellation means that we will continue to cling to outdated ideas from the past era in the first half of the year. It is only in the second half of the year that the forces of future energies of the Air Era will make themselves felt.

On 26 May, Jupiter enters the sign of Gemini, while Lilith moves into Libra on 29 June. Lilith represents the instinctive feminine elemental force, strength and emancipation. Until 27 March 2025, it promotes new approaches to fairness and balance in interpersonal relationships. Together with Pluto in Aquarius, they form a trio that strengthens the energy of the future.

Despite the uncertainties and insecurities, we have a unique opportunity to transform our consciousness. The astrological constellations of 2024 actively support this personal spiritual growth. The rapid development of the digital world, particularly through technologies such as artificial intelligence, will bring about a profound change in social structures, which will become more apparent in the second half of the year in particular. This development can have both positive and negative effects and opens doors in various directions. An overwhelming amount of information, which is often also confusing, challenges us and it seems almost impossible to gain a complete overview of the context. The abundance of distractions impressively shows us how important it is to create a harmonious balance between emotions, logic and intuition.

Global events in recent years have made us acutely aware that we are all fated to be connected. We currently have the impression that loneliness is on the rise. But what if we learnt the exact opposite lesson? Because the path we have chosen also harbours the opportunity to unfold and blossom within a larger whole. Compassion, mutual consideration and cooperation are attitudes of the new era.

From July 2023 to January 2025, the ascending lunar node is in the pioneering sign of Aries. This emphasises the need for self-development and encourages us to establish a deeper connection with our inner self. The focus on the self and the unfolding of our unique power are at the centre. The ascending lunar node points to the future and indicates upcoming challenges. The descending lunar node is in the harmony-emphasising sign of Libra, symbolising the past and marking possible conclusions. This period not only promises more independence, assertiveness and personal growth, but also a fascinating dynamic in interpersonal relationships. Particularly between early February and mid March, and sometimes into April, couples have the opportunity to rethink mutual agreements and renegotiate outdated structures. From my perspective, the influence of this constellation on 22 February in Aquarius is a significant moment of renewal in love. Here Venus and Mars meet Pluto in Aquarius, which offers the opportunity to strengthen affection, devotion and connection. However, this requires a mutual willingness to accept each other as we are.

The months of August, September and October once again represent an important phase for relationships. Sensitivity and consideration are required during this time while doors open for creative new directions. It is a time when couples can explore new ways to deepen their relationship and grow together. This transitional period continuing into 2024 may be upsetting and challenging, but it also offers the opportunity to let go of what is outdated in favour of new development opportunities. The need for change becomes clearer. There is room for the courage to tread new paths.

In 2024, Mercury and Mars will at times be in retrograde. Special attention should be paid to this, as during these times strength tends to be directed inwards and is restricted in its outward deployment. At the same time, energy becomes more alert, conscious and concentrated, combined with the desire to engage only with what is being focused on. Sorting things out and creating order are on the agenda.

Mercury in retrograde:

13 December 2023 to 2 January 2024
2 April to 25 April 2024
5 August to 28 August 2024
26 November to 15 December 2024

Mercury in retrograde often leads to difficulties in traffic, trade and travel. Suddenly, many things no longer run as smoothly as usual. New projects are put on hold, and patience is required. More misunderstandings can occur in communication. We need longer to understand how things are connected. Where possible, contracts should not be concluded during this time. If you are buying technical devices, technical faults may occur and they may have a short life span. During this time, we often have to face up to the past. Be more attentive during this period and always read the small print.

Mars in retrograde:

7 December 2024 to 24 February 2025

Mars is usually the planet of power and action, but not when it’s in retrograde. Energy does not flow freely enough and therefore makes us more nervous and irritable. Everything that has to do with traffic and locomotion is affected by disturbances. This is an excellent time to put energy into tidying up. Use this time to start something you have been planning to do for a while or finish something you started some time ago and would now like to complete.

Go boldly forward into the next phase of a new era! I will be happy to accompany you.

I am always there for you and offer astrological consultations with expertise and empathetic guidance. Your birth chart not only reveals individual life themes, but also shows what challenges and opportunities your path through life holds. It is up to you to shape these opportunities. The birth chart is your compass. Let us delve into the fascinating world of your stars together and reveal the unique mosaic of your personality.

A holistic concept remains at the centre of my work: high-quality cosmetics, sensitive coaching and a harmonious cosmos. I would like to briefly introduce you to two new treatments.

COSMOS AND COSMETICS is an interplay of my sensitive perception and the influences of your individual cosmos. Birth chart and cosmetic treatment come together here – illuminated by different personality traits.

IN TOUCH is a compact version of my popular UNDER THE SKIN concept. It is ideal for an initial familiarisation or as an in-depth treatment after previous sessions. Experience, together with me, how clearing and organising your inner self can also have a positive influence on your outer appearance.

I wish you a peaceful festive season and a magical start to 2024! May the coming year give us all the clarity, determination and spiritual freedom we need to master the challenges of this new era. We are on this journey together – and in cooperation lies the strength that will guide us through this time of change.

Jana Pákozdi
