Venus in the houses

✩Venus in the 7th house✩

Venus in the 7th care a lot about the other person, other people are a source of emotional wealth for them. They love to take care of their loved ones, always remembering everything the other person likes. They are people who need to be in a romantic relationship of some sort to feel fulfilled and happy, which is why when a relationship breaks over they can start another one soon after, which is easy for them as they have a bunch of admirers, as they are beautiful, pleasant people. Many people like them, whether romantically or not. They have trouble, however, sharing the "bad" emotions and thoughts they feel about the relanshionship they are in. They don't want fights, they don't want to discuss unpleasant things; that's why they need to develop this skill: to vocalize what's making them uncomfortable, as it can harm their relationship if they keep this desire to always try to keep things harmonious, even when things are obviously not working. This is the type of people who loves to be well-groomed, to smell good, to be fashion and beautiful. They are sociable, they are always receiving friends at home, giving dinners, going out, having a pleasant time. It's hard not to like them, they usually win you over in such a subtle and gentle way that you will generally only have good opinions about them. It's important that they stop worrying so much about what others will think of them, try to stop living in search of people's approval. If they manage to balance this approval need they will be able to shine even brighter.

✩Venus in the 8th house✩

This Venus is addicted to love, passion. They are intense, their love goes deep, when they give themselves to love, they give their soul, everything. Their love is wonderful, you will feel exclusive, this Venus's attention will be completely focused on you, which is why they are very loyal, they rarely cheat. They are possessive, when they take possession of something they will hardly let it go, but when they are finally forced to let go, they go through a complete process of catharsis, going to the bottoms of their soul, suffering pain intensely, just to emerge from the ashes after, stronger than ever, beautiful and magnetic like a phoenix. This is a Venus who receives money very easily from others, people trust them with their money. It also attracts a lot of financial investment from others, since the 8th house talks about the support that others give us, and it's very easy for them to get loans, in general. However, don't mess with this Venus, she will take revenge and come out on top. Their love is like a hidden treasure, it's precious and rare, to access it you need to surrender completely. Extremely magnetic, they know how to attract what they want. They also need constant intimate physical contact, as that's where they find their greatest source of emotional satisfaction.

✩Venus in the 9th house✩

This Venus needs freedom, for them it's very important to feel that they can act or do what pleases them without having to explain themselves or give in to the other person expectations. If they feel suffocated or trapped they'll start to distance themselves, until they are completely "free" of the other person. They love studying. They love improving their knowledge: their mind, their soul. They love getting to know other cultures, studying about them, their customs and cuisine. They have a strong desire to travel and generally their preferred destination is abroad, somewhere outside their country. This Venus points their arrow very far away, perhaps they want to date someone from outside their country, someone different, who offers challenge and mental stimulation. It's a Venus who also has many admirers, mainly for their beauty and intelligence, but they generally don't pay much attention to it, despite the fact that, if someone is intelligent enough, if someone can match their intellectual level, they will probably fall intensely in love. They have a certain tendency to idealize relationships because the ninth house talks about the field of ideas, the mental, which is why they spend more time imagining the relationship than actually experiencing it in the reality. They are usually always taking some course to complement their career or they are always traveling.

✩Venus in the 10th house✩

Here Venus shines like no other, as it has reached the highest house of the zodiac. They have a love for the beautiful, the aesthetics, they love to beautify things, whether it's a job they do, or treating others in a harmonious way. They will always deliver the best of they can, as they are very demanding of themselves. Their beauty is cold, calculated, they know exactly where they want to go and radiating their natural charm they slowly conquer everything their heart desires. They are very friendly, they really care about others, like a Venus in the 7th house. They shine in their work, winning the favor of their colleagues and the attention of their superiors; but this is also where they attract the envy of others, as they definitely do more than most of the people around them. This Venus needs to know that the path to the top is narrow and alone, so they should not let be affected when people threaten to leave them. They may find love at work, or they may love what they do very much. They know what they are doing, especially when it comes to their career and life, they don't really need advice. When they decide to love someone, that person will usually stay in their life and heart for a very, very long time, even if they eventually break up.

✩Venus in the 11th house✩

This Venus loves society and society also loves them. They are loved by a very large number of people. They are that type of person who will donate their money to charities, who will help those most in need, who will take care of street animals. They really care about the collective, about people, they will stop what they are doing just to listen when someone needs it. They care about other people's lives, what their problems are. They're very stylish, they usually have their own style and they really don't care whether it's aesthetically beautiful or not, whether it pleases others or not. They are certainly intelligent, they easily understand how society works, being able to see invisible structures and offer help in some way, always trying to improve the lives of people in their community. The only problem that can occur with this Venus is paying more attention to social issues than to the private life of their relationships, which can and will undermine the relationship itself, so it's necessary to seek balance. They love to go out, they are always on the street, almost never stopping at home. They love being in touch with art, culture, politics. It's a Venus who will love going to cafes, discussing books and talking about the community/society in general. When in love they are not so attached, they prefer to date friends, people who share some type of fraternity and camaraderie. Their loved ones cannot hold them back or try to label them in fixed, closed terms. They may not be so interested in romantic love itself, but rather the feeling of connection and understanding between two individuals.

✩Venus in the 12th house✩

This is the most introverted of the Venuses. Living in their own world, they flow through various settings and people, they do not have a fixed type. They are emotionally sensitive, with a very rich and intense personal universe. They can fall in love very easily, but generally the person they love is not available, is usually committed or cannot get involved, for whatever reasons, with the Venus in the 12th house. They usually keep their emotions to themselves. When they finally express what they feel, their emotions flow like a river, flowing with full force. Venus in this house also suffers from the danger of falling in love with people who harm them, who are toxic and abusive. They must become very aware of the type of people they surround themselves with, they need to stop idealizing such people and see them for who they truly are. Their enemies can sometimes be those they love, people can sometimes be with them just to take advantage of their kindness and love. They need to be careful with that. They give so much of themselves, their love flows like deep waters, and sometimes they don't realize they have given too much of themselves until they are already exhausted and sad. As they are very rich internally, they can and should express their inner universe, as they are very creative. Interacting with the arts, dance, photography, cinema and writing are activities that will certainly enhance and elevate this Venus to its maximum potential.

[ninelivesastrology]

One of the most interesting things about the upcoming Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024 is that the Sun is incredibly empowered from being exalted in Aries, but a Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse is debilitating to the very nature of the Luminaries. In this case, the Sun is being obscured by the Moon.

I can only think that this Solar Eclipse can symbolize a loss of great power. Very interesting in regards to the current climate.

Eclipse effects are said to last up to 6 months, if not be life-changing and historically have an infamous reputation.

You should be paying attention to the houses the Eclipses are falling in, so here's a reference:

Aries Rising: 1st House

Taurus Rising: 12th House

Gemini Rising: 11th House

Cancer Rising: 10th House

Leo Rising: 9th House

Virgo Rising: 8th House

Libra Rising: 7th House

Scorpio Rising: 6th House

Sagittarius Rising: 5th House

Capricorn Rising: 4th House

Aquarius Rising: 3rd House

Pisces Rising: 2nd House

Additionally, the Solar Eclipse will be happening at 19° Aries, so if you have any planets within 5°-10° of a major aspect (conjunction, square, opposition, sextile, trine), they will be affected, too. To account for Mercury within aspect to this Eclipse, consider the houses Gemini and Virgo rule in your chart, too.

2025 Forecast

AKA my notes on The Astrology Podcast's 2025 Forecast, hosted by Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. Saddle up, it's a long one!

Overview

This year's forecast is divided into an overview of big planetary shifts and a chronological breakdown, but it doesn't go quarter-by-quarter like in previous years.

Outer Planet Shifts

It's quite rare that such slow-moving planets as Neptune, Uranus and Pluto* all enter new signs in the same year (*Pluto has already ingressed to Aquarius after transiting Capricorn for the past 16 years, but this is the first full year he'll spend in Aquarius). Uranus has been in Taurus since 2018, and Neptune first ingressed to Pisces in 2011. Thus we are seeing major shifts happening all at the same time. These represent major cultural and social changes. In personal charts, this concludes activity in other parts of our charts and begins focus in a new area.

Pluto in Aquarius (November 2024 (final ingress) - January 2044)

Chris has been connecting this to cryptocurrency (Bitcoin started under Pluto in Capricorn) and AI stories, such as Google & other companies rolling out livechats. He predicts that robots, especially humanoid ones, will he ubiquitous in everyday life by the end of Pluto in Aquarius, though Austin is skeptical as to how evenly distributed technological advancements will be. Jobs and labor will surely be affected by the increasing digitization of different industries. Everyone's trying to hitch a ride on the AI train, but it'll take a major scandal before we see regulations put in place or see just how it'll integrate into society. We'll have to train our eyes to recognize the artificially generated, and we'll also have to deal with inefficient bureaucracy that technology alone can't quite fix. In mundane developments, even though the US was founded under Pluto in Capricorn, most of the government structure were put into place under Pluto in Aquarius. Last time Pluto was in Aquarius was the French Revolution (opposite Leo, the fixed signs of sovereigns and heads of state). The current Pluto in Leo generation (baby boomers) were raised definitively in the area of the celebrity, an issue that will likely come into question in the years ahead.

Uranus in Gemini (July 2025 - May 2033)

Uranus trines Pluto during this transit, so these two planets' themes are closely tied over the next decade. Previous Uranus in Gemini periods include the revolutionary war/founding of the USA, its Civil War, and WW2. Term limits were pushed and set under this transit with Washington & FDR; 84 years previous to the founding of the US John Locke wrote his ideas on government. Continuing on the theme of liberal democracy, the King James Bible was published under Uranus in Gemini in the 1600s--an attempt to democratize religion and encourage readers to have their own individual relationship with the text. Uranus was discovered during a Gemini transit in 1781, and was almost named "George" after the King of Britain. In general Uranus in Gemini brings particularly forward-thinking ideas while in Mercury-ruled signs. We should expect to see continued developments in AI controversies and LLMs (large language models), and the role of language overall. We can also expect shakeups in transportation, with technologies like self-driving cars and drones expanding in transportation, war, and everyday life. The burgeoning dominance of electric vehicles space travel are also likely previews into the Uranus in Gemini era, and we can look out for major developments in the realm of social media as well.

Neptune in Aries (March 2025 - March 2039)

Neptune's 165-year cycle means it changes sign about once every 14 years. The last Aries transit was in 1861-1875, and the ingress coincides exactly with US Civil War: Fort Sumter fell the day it ingressed. Neptune gives us dream-logic for its time, trends that are often only clear in retrospect. Austin describes the Neptune in Pisces era as valorizing qualities like acceptance & inclusivity, where the heroic figure of the time is a compassionate mystic/saintly. He predicts Neptune in Aries will valorize "the heroic." Where once suddenly everyone was an astrologer or witch, now, suddenly we're all soldiers/warriors. (This played out literally as mass conscription in the US Civil War & in England in previous Aries Neptune periods.) This period also saw developments in photography, namely war photography in newspapers bringing the goriness of war into every home. Civil War photos were originally shot in 3D and meant to be experienced through viewers, and the first color photo was taken 05/17/1861 when Neptune was at 1Aries, bringing levels of heightened realism and simulation into the conversation. Neptune in Aries faces us with forks in the road--no half measures.

Neptune in Aries can indicate wars remembered for their ideology, as was the case with the Taiping Revolt/Rebllion's bloody conclusion during Neptune in Aries (begun in Pisces). One of the deadliest wars in history (cost at least 20-30 million lives), it was instigated because of an extremist Christian religion. In medical astrology Mars-Neptune contacts can indicate autoimmune diseases where the body attacks itself, and the mundane analogy here is internal conflicts. In antiquity, the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE occurred during Neptune in Aries, Pluto in Aquarius, and the eclipse points moving from Aries/Libra to Virgo/Pisces (all configurations we'll see in 2025). This is considered a catalyzing event for the subsequent Jewish diaspora over the following centuries, as well as the shift from centralized worship to Rabbinic Judaism. In science & engineering, the steam engine, dynamite, first underground railway, Suez canal, mechanical submarine, and the concept of light as EM radiation via Maxwell equations all came about during Neptune in Aries periods.

Saturn in Aries Saturn is entering Aries from May to September this year and will be copresent with/conjoining Neptune over the next three years. Saturn is in fall in Aries, highlighting tensions between patience and impulsivity. We can also expect prominent figures to fall from grace, such as during our last Saturn in Aries in the late 1990s with the scandal around Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinksy. In personal charts, Saturn in Aries people will often chalk up their difficulties to "not trying hard enough," when really it may just be a matter of timing and patience. Famous Aries Saturn people include skater Tony Hawk, daredevil Evel Knievel, directors Francis Ford Coppola and Lily Wachawski, witch-hunting politician McCarthy, writer Margaret Atwood, actresses Zendaya and Lucy Lawless, and activist Malala Yousafzai.

Saturn Conjunct Neptune Saturn and Neptune will get within 1 degree of each other this year, though we don't get an exact conjunction til 2026. We've been seeing the buildup of this since Saturn entered Pisces in March 2023. What's real and bounded, and what's illusory and pervasive? This tension between illusions & structures likely means we'll see increased distrust in authority, such as the public doubting what's reported in news stories or fake news sparking major conflicts, and Chris predicts increasing polarization between aggressive skeptics and religious fundamentalists. Austin uses the analogy of the Mad Max: Furiosa movie--everyone is trying to conscript you to come fight with them for water. Austin notes that Saturn-Neptune contacts punctuate major events in recent Russian history, including the founding of St. Petersburg and the dissolution of the USSR. He also brings up the historical example of ronin, rogue samuari who had some public support as vigilantes, and compares it to Luigi Mangione's alleged assassination of the United Healthcare CEO, saying the public reaction to this event is a prediction of things to come.

Chronological Breakdown

Mars Retrograde: December 2024 and January 2025

We enter the year with Mars retrograde in Leo (opposite Pluto) and moving to Cancer on January 6th, and only getting to Leo on April 17th. This makes an extended transit through those two signs. Observationally, Mars is actually brightest and closest to Earth during its retrogrades, rising as the Sun sets, making him hyper-visible and much more reactive & chaotic than Venus & Mercury retrogrades. And indeed Mars's station on December 6th saw a bunch of major events: an attempted coup in South Korea, the Assad regime falling in Syria, a healthcare CEO assassinated in the US, a contested election in Romania, and the French government collapsing through a no-confidence vote.

Back to 2025, though: Mars entering Cancer on the 6th hearkens back to his last visit to the sign, September 4th-November 3rd of 2024. Events, both mundane and personal, will come back to us during this time. In politics we saw a lot of nativism and racism in US politics while Trump was campaigning, and unfortunately this is likely to resurface. Concerns over homelands & origin showed up in celebrity news with controversy over the New Orleans Superbowl booking Los Angeles-based rapper Kendrick Lamar over NoLa native Lil Wayne.

Mars is in fall in Cancer, and with Saturn in Aries later we get both malefics in fall this year. The trap of Cancer Mars is "nothing's safe enough," while that of Aries Saturn is "nothing is under enough control," and we must be on our toes to avoid falling into either. Mars in Cancer is reactive and impulsive, in contrast to the Saturnian discipline & foresight that Capricorn grants it in exaltation. In personal charts Mars rx in Cancer/Leo can show up as obstacles or frustration, or as an extended expenditure of energy in that area. Retrogrades can also bring things or people back into your life, and how you handle the situation sets you up for the next time you meet.

January 2025

We enter the month with retrograde Mars opposing Pluto on the 3rd and regressing to Cancer on the 6th. On January 15th we get the exact opposition of Mars to the Sun, days after the Full Moon, so that's another time to watch out for in events. The US presidential inaguration is on Jaunary 20th under a Sun-Pluto conjunction.

Electional chart for January:

The chart is for January 10th, at roughly 9:30AM local time to get early Pisces rising. The ruler of the Ascendant, Jupiter, is in the 4th house (♊) in a day chart and makes an auspicious conjunction to the Moon, who herself is separating from a square to Venus (♓). Venus is also exalted in the first house & on the Ascendant. This is also about as far away as we can get from the Mars-Pluto opposition while also avoiding the Sun-Mars opposition later this month. This is good for 4th house matters: not only home and family, but also matters where you're important but not visible, like a director.

Overall, January and February are dominated by the Mars retrograde, a "not so calm" before the storm of springtime.

March & April Venus goes retrograde on March 1st, regressing into Pisces before stationing direct on April 12th. Meanwhile, on March 29th we get an Aries solar eclipse, the final installation in a series going back to October 2023. The next day, March 30th, Neptune waltzes into Aries for the first time in a century. Meanwhile Mercury retrogrades from March 15th until April 7th, backtracking into Pisces while doing so. And if that wasn't enough, Saturn moves into Aries on May 24th. March & April are like a series of cascade reactions, and we'll spend the rest of the year (or few years in the case of Saturn) reacting to, cleaning up the aftermath of, and wrestling with understanding what happened. We'll definitely see major geopolitical events, maybe with bizarre connections, all the while thinking things are going in one direction when they're really going another.

Venus & Mercury Retrograde; Eclipses

Venus's station points are felt most intensely, but like with the Mars retrograde we also experience this as an extended transit of Venus through the signs of Aries and Pisces from January to June. Her retrograde also comes just 5 days after Mars concludes his own. Chris predicts that, unlike the Leo Venus rx a couple summers ago, there may be more fighting around women's issues rather than straightforward celebration. In Aries we already expecting a more combative expression of Venusian issues, and the increased activity in Aries only intensifies this prediction. Venus in Aries is not quiet--she's bold, active, and direct. In personal charts we'll see returns of events from 8, 16, or 32 years ago (last time she was retrograde in Aries), reviewing and revising relationships in the present. What and who do we want? Do we still want that? Under Venus rx we look for an unambiguous "yes." We can also see delays or postponements, scandals, and provocative art & culture. We'll be going back and forth between an exalted, compassionate Venus and a forthright, exiled Venus, choosing between the two on any given day and trying to reconcile them.

With Venus retrograde we can also think of the myth of Inanna (a story based off the Venus rx cycle), who descends through gates of the underworld and returns home to find her consort has taken the throne before she takes it back. We'll likely see stories about women in powerful positions reclaiming something after going through a struggle as Venus stations direct in her sign of exaltation. Specifically, she stations direct on April 13th conjunct Saturn (ironically another signature of Trump's upcoming inauguration), with Mercury retrograde also in Aries & Pisces at the same time. Both these planets are passing over Neptune in late Pisces as well: sometimes we have a lovely, dreamy vision that turns out to be terribly disappointing. Venus and Mercury will both cross Neptune three times, in both Aries and Pisces.

Mercury stations at 0Aries on March 29th, the same day as the solar eclipse, and switches signs with Neptune (leaving Pisces) the next day. The culminating eclipse is marred by miscommunications and illusions. As the last installment of a series begun in October 2023, this eclipse will definitely see developments in Israel's wars on other countries in the region. More generally, in mundane astrology North Node solar eclipses in Aries have coincided with the assassinations of heads of states & movements, as well as the eclipsing/stepping down of leaders...yet another signature of changing/threatened leadership in 2025.

In the middle of March we also get our first Virgo eclipse of this series, corresponding to the September eclipse in Pisces. We'll revisit the areas again in September with a Pisces and Virgo eclipse. The barrier between Aries/Pisces and Virgo/Libra sees a lot of activity in the first half of 2025. We'll definitely remember this year for the crazy Aries activity, though Austin predicts it'll come back to haunt us in 2026.

May-June-July Saturn enters Aries on May 24th, creeping up on Neptune and getting within a degree of him by July (~13th-14th), and then stationing retrograde. An outer planet's first station in a new sign signals what to expect, and Saturn and Neptune both do so in July (on the 13th and 4th respectively). From May 24th to September 1st we have Neptune and Saturn very close to each other and retrograding. Uranus enters Gemini on the 7th.

Jupiter in Cancer He enters in June of 2025, staying there until June of 2026. In this sign of his exaltation, he'll be counterbalancing some of the crazier transits of this year. He's also doing cleanup after Mar's messy transits earlier this year in the Cancer parts of our charts. Jupiter is a little folksy in Cancer--he's not just lavishing the wealthy, but is generous to everyday people as well. The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) was enacted during Jupiter in Cancer in 2013-14 (a Jupiter under attack!), bringing important healthcare considerations to this placement (A/N: Cancer as a sign of nurturing and protection). In July of 1990 during Jupiter & Venus in Cancer, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed. Chris is wary of being too optimistic, but hopes that something good in healthcare is coming forward. This transit is a Jupiter return (every ~12 years) for the US Sibly chart, and also the repetition of a longer 83-year cycle where he hits the same degree on the same day--the third one since the US's founding, making this an especially potent Jupiter return. You'll notice that's only one year off from Uranus cycles, so we'll definitely see further reevaluations of the US's founding this year.

Generally, exalted planets represent someone at the highest level of their field, and Jupiter in Cancer is a sort of "get rich slow" planet. Success is cultivated, grown, and encouraged. In June & July Jupiter will square Saturn, though, a configuration that corresponds to financial and economic crashes. Jupiter in Gemini saw tech company crashes, but in a new sign we'll likely see new industries affected.

July & August: Outer Planet Teamup

Uranus enters Gemini on July 7th, the last of the slow outer planets to ingress to his new sign. From then til October 21st, we have the rare and powerful influence of several outer planets teamed up: Uranus sextiling Saturn & Neptune and trining Pluto (meaning Saturn & Neptune also sextile Pluto). This is a sort of pilot episode previewing what'll happen when they return in 2026. These planets shift from feminine water/earth signs to masculine air/fire signs, and each outer planet (except Pluto) will retrograde into his preceding sign in October & November, giving us a break from the teamup of big players for a bit. Mars in Libra will aspect all of these outer planets in August, making the configuration especially active then.

September - Eclipse Season Last September we saw our first Pisces eclipse of this series, and we'll have had another development with the first Virgo eclipse in March. Now we're firmly in Virgo-Pisces eclipses for the next 2 years. The September 7th and 21st eclipses will have us think about the big picture vs. granular details--how can we hold them in unison? The major endings & beginnings brought by eclipses are further punctuated by Saturn regressing back into Pisces on September 1st. Maybe a last set of upgrades need to be put in place in our Pisces area, though now our Virgo house is tied in as well.

October, November, December Neptune returns to Pisces October 22nd, Uranus to Taurus on November 7th, and Saturn stations direct for his last pass through Pisces on November 27th. A new chapter of our lives has begun, but we need to do a final check-in before things reach completion. The outer planet demolition team will be back on April 25th, 2026, where it'll stay until 2032-33. Neptune will station in Pisces on December 10th, another important Pisces turning point. Jupiter stationing in Cancer on November 11th is the cherry on top for the year ending where it began (but not to stay!). We end 2025 coming full circle on our sort of last look backwards before plunging for good into new--though not entirely unknown--territory.

Which star beeing could they date who?

Lunar x Gemini -> Lumini (canon)

Sun x Leo -> Sueo

Moon x Taurus -> Moorus

Solar x Nebula -> Solneb

Jack x Cancer -> Jancer

Eclipse x Libra -> Liblipse

Ballora x Virgo ->Ballvir

I admire how these ship names seemingly just get more unhinged as this continues.

Shortly after, a Moon–Jupiter sextile brings an optimistic and wise perspective, helping to expand your outlook on the situation.

✨🌕 PISCES LUNAR ECLIPSE

The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 17, 2024, is bringing in some divine intervention to help us grow and evolve on a soul level.

°

°

°

Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the Sun & Moon, casting a shadow over the Moon. This temporary obscuration is a metaphor for the hidden aspects of our lives coming to the surface. It’s a time when the veil between our conscious & unconscious worlds thins, allowing us to confront & heal past wounds, release old patterns & embrace new beginnings. It acts as a cosmic reset button, urging us to realign with our true selves & our higher purpose.

Moon conjunct Moon synastry 🌓🌌

Moon conjunct is a great synastry aspect to have as it denotes there will be a natural understanding of one another’s feelings

The moon is associated with you innermost feelings, your mother wounds , and your subconscious

Whatever sign it is in , someone who has this aspect with you will understand you effortlessly.

However it’s also possible that this like a 12th house synastry aspect might feel too close for comfort. You both may also have a hard time focusing on one another’s feelings instead of your own jus because of how similar you may emote. This is a generally good aspect to have but those with it should look at other aspects in one another’s chart to really understand them emotionally

[multidimensionalguidance]

What do the signs need to know for this solar eclipse season?

Hello everyone! As you may or may not know, there will be a Solar Eclipse occuring on April 8th! so of course I'm coming through with a tarot + astrology reading for all the signs during this amazingly chaotic times. I truly hope these insights can aid all of you navigate the energy we have (and will continue to encounter) until May comes along with Jupiter in Taurus to release the tension a bit.

Read for your sidereal ASC, Moon, and Sun in that exact order!

Aries: queen of swords, five of cups, and three of pentacles

Okay so, you folks will be on a really analytical mindset, specially those with prominent feminine energy (regardless of gender). there's a lot of mental clarity, logical, and strategic energies coming your way which you will fully embody. You will become aware of your sorrows, sadness, and things you may regret in regards to coworkers or individuals with whom you collaborated in the past. You or someone else with Air placements (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) could be feeling sad, at a loss, regretting, or crying over spilled milk in regards to a third party situation or collaboration that didn't go as expected.

You will be experiencing these feelings and energy in isolation and hidden from the public, where your emotions are not seen for what they truly are. To others you might seem cold or unmoving, but in reality, you are simply experiencing a lot within you right now. It is okay to feel your feelings, recognize the ways in which your emotions could cause you to self-sabotage, and seek support from others if needed. If someone hurt you in the past, know that this is just another lesson to learn from and those feelings of guilt or shame do not need to sit within you longer than necessary. Even if the situation might seem a bit grim now, there's still a lot to save and salvage. Allow this time to be for spiritual growth and self-reflection. Reassess your priorities and choose what's truly important for you.

Taurus: the hanged man, the star, and eight of wands

You guys are or were at a sort of standstill, reevaluation process, or feeling stuck in a situation for a while. But now, with the upcoming energetic flow you will be able to see things from a different perspective, and give spiritual space within you to see all the possible sides with ease. The incredibly good news is that hope is no longer around the corner, instead, it is heading at full speed towards you. You are or will be finally seeing the other side and genially feeling more hopeful about your current trajectory. What's coming for you its like a fallen star, quick, bright, but with a twist of long lasting results. What you must do now is simply letting go and trusting that things are developing for the best possible outcome, because regardless of what you think communication will be heading your way.

There will finally be movement and you will feel like things are progressing once and for all. At the end of this season, it won't just be a light at the end of the tunnel, but rather a full scenery of the journey ahead. You will just simply feel more lucky, and hopeful that things will be gaining traction. There's an odd yet blissful sense of peace that is quickly arriving towards you. A burden that will be released because you're finally making space for the old to be left behind. These news might come from social media, your friends or networking group.

Gemini: ten of pentacles, nine of cups, and four of cups

Allll right, okay, okay. You guys are seriously on the money train right now, like, hardcore. There are huge achievements, financial rewards, and material satisfactions that you will be experiencing soon. You are entering a period of genuine happiness, sense of accomplishment, and luck even if there's still (or might continue to be) a small sense of apathy towards it, so make sure you're not blinding yourself to what's right in front of you. Just know that even if you might not miss it entirely, you could end up not enjoying it as much as you should because of old emotional matters.

Sit down in solitude and contemplate on the fact that you will receive a good luck strike soon when it comes to the material world, which is amazing considering that you could have come from surviving many situations of deep financial troubles in the previous months. Family matters will be good as well, and you will get to enjoy good times with them as well. Perhaps you were sitting on a gold mine, yet not realizing it completely until now.

Overall, your professional life will be highlighted and full of possibilities. Just make sure you don't let your ego get out of control after being put under the spotlight. Let your achievements and own efforts speak for themselves, there's no need to prove anything to anyone but yourself.

Cancer: ten of pentacles, queen of swords, and four of swords

It seems that Gemini is not the only one that's running into wealth, material satisfaction, and having an "IT girl" moment when it comes to their worldly achievements. The main difference is that you will handle it with a very clear and no bs type of mindset, and with an emphasis on wanting to relax, unwind, rest, meditate and going more within but in a very luxurious way (at least in comparison to previous months). You might do some solo traveling or just traveling overall with the purpose of enjoying the success of your hard work. The things that you have been manifesting for your financial goals are coming through, and you will finally take a much needed step back to recharge. You will enjoy the fruits of the efforts you've made thus far, but make sure to stay flexible to handle any challenges that could come your way. You will soon be focusing entirely on your career, public matters, and enjoying an expansion in your long term investments or gains. Keep a healthy balance between mind and heart!

Leo: the empress, the hermit, and ace of pentacles rx

Although there is this energy of abundance, luxury, and worldly pleasures that are definitely coming your way, you will also have to experience a period of introspection, solitude, and reflection. It will mostly be in regards to the ways you've been or could be acting greedy by encouraging splurging, or taking risky financial decisions. Financial wisdom is very much needed to survive the upcoming energies ahead. You will go deep within to think of the opportunities that you could have missed, and the ways you didn't plant seeds that would be flourishing now in the present.

Even if you have the ability to nurture and make anything you touch bloom, you must be careful to not encourage thorns, weeds, and undesirable plants to ruin your usually beautiful and kept garden. There could also be a hidden pregnancy that occurs and creates some minor financial delays or losses, so be mindful of that. You might be going real ghost mode for a while due to dealing with certain shady dealings or situations that will simply keep you from spending as much as you usually do.

There was something you ignored or became apathetic towards in the past, a proof of genuine love or a beginning that has set the wheels of karma/destiny to spin. A change of course has or will be set into action soon, and the only way to handle it properly is by tuning into your spiritual side. Be transparent and open not just with yourself, but with your loved ones as well. No one can take away your ability to look and act like the queen/king you are, but even royalty need a reality check from time to time.

Virgo: queen of swords, page of pentacles, and ten of cups

My beautiful Te Fiti's, I see that a lot of you will be putting all of your mental focus towards a new financial opportunity that has landed on your lap (well freaking deserved!) and that will be providing with an immense feeling of abundance, satisfaction, and emotional fulfillment. This is a moment you had been waiting for a while now, and although there's a feeling of novice or feeling like a "noob" that comes with it, you are more than ready to take on whatever the challenge might be. You will know exactly how to deal with it in a very cool headed way, and your words will also convey the same. You're not in the mood for any tomfoolery, just money and all the good stuff that the universe is sending your way. Family matters will be very good as well, so just continue on doing whatever you're doing because its looking great!

There will continue to be a focus on relationships and opportunities to deepen them as long as you're able to stay judgment free and exercising your emotional intelligence. Perhaps these connections will be with an Air sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius). Allow yourself to celebrate love, joy, and even the challenges, for nothing will cloud your mind at this moment. You've already gone through the worst of it, and anything that might still feel like an obstacle will be cleared from your path.

Libra: four of swords, queen of swords, page of pentacles

A very similar reading to Virgos, but with a twist. You are very much on your waters during this period, but it will only come after a much needed break occurs. A full stop that will allow you to lay back, contemplate, or meditate into how you can get your gears back to moving as usual towards the financial goals you've had planned for the first quarter of this year. The opportunities will be there, but they will only be noticeable once you pull back your energy from everyone and focus on recovering your own instead. It had been a few months where you were not feeling 100% back into your usual strategic, confident, assured ways, and this was partially holding you back from discovering the ways to manifest as comfortably as usually did before.

Make sure to pay attention to your health and daily routines as they will be key for getting your habits and work back in order. You deserve a balanced and healthy lifestyle, so focus on the small details that might be keeping you away from enjoying it. You got this!

Scorpio: four of pentacles, strength, and five of cups rx

Let me start by saying the first thing I noticed was 555 while doing this reading, so you already know that change is not only coming towards you but this eclipse will definitely facilitate it. You will be experiencing a period of compassion and gentleness towards the ways you may have not to been extending yourself some much needed forgiveness or radical acceptance. You've been really hard on yourself, as usual, but have now finally comprehended the root of this behavior. You act this way because that's the treatment you've received from others as well, and overtime, this made you develop the well known defensive tactics everyone is aware of, not for the sake of hurting, but for self preservation.

It is okay to admit that you've been scared, anxious, and tired for a while. All of that have led you to realizing that in order to overcome those heavy feelings, you must develop radical inner love and peace within you. A hope that moves mountains. An ability to accept, forgive, and move on. You are ready to tame your inner beast, which will soon roar strongly within you. It is completely normal to hold onto the things that are dear to us, but not too much that we're unwilling to move forward.

There is an emphasis on someone with Leo placements or this energy being very active in your chart during this upcoming period. Have the courage to say out loud "it's okay, I don't have control of everything and I'm fine with it. I have the courage to overcome my own mental self limitations." Creativity and romance is awaiting, and if you trust yourself, there will be plenty of joy surrounding your connections.

Sagittarius: king of cups, the tower, and the emperor

First hand, the reading gave me a "bachelor/ette times are over!". You were trying to be in a very suave, balanced, and generous mindset during the beginning of this eclipse season, but there will be a sudden change and rude awakening that will come towards you. This will occur surrounding your own idea of what masculine energy is and how it functions within you (regardless of gender). It will bring a strong shake towards the structures you've built and the illusion of power that you've used to stay in that "going with the flow" type of mentality. The universe wants to have a reality check, and set you back on your feet to where your real power lays.

You deserve to get a real taste of success, and enjoy that "big d*ck" energy that sits deep within you. Even if the process throws you down and makes your reevaluate many things in a harsh way, just know you will come out of it walking out of it like a literal "king". You've been wanting it anyways, so in technicality, this will be the results of what you've been manifesting for a while now. No more la la land, just straight serious business with no beating around the bush. You're turning from a laid back i-don't-mind-anything mindset to a time to get shit done. Bare to minimum emotions, just full blown cold hard logic. But again, this is what you had been desiring deep down.

You will get a real taste of how far you can get and how much authority you can truly get to wield. Accept the chaos, and embrace that order that comes afterward. Ready or not, it is here.

Capricorn: page of wands, six of pentacles, and the sun

You will be receiving or giving some sort of financial generosity or kindness. This could either come/go towards a foreigner or fire sign that you meet while traveling/exploring a place. There is a strong feeling of joy, positivity, and success coming your way during this eclipse season. You could travel somewhere warm or be dealing with an individual that comes from such regions. This will be a time for exploring your creativity, and choosing to happily extend it towards others because it just feels right. There's a journey you will be embarking on that makes you feel giddy, and it is that feeling that will continue to attract positive financial situations towards you.

After all, its not all about just you taking responsibilities that are uncomfortable and difficult to deal with, there's also the ones that you take upon yourself with a full smile. You also deserve to be taken care of and provided. Allow others to nurture you, and watch it all unfold in the best way possible. Trust that the universe is leading towards a path where you will encounter like-minded individuals, and leisurely enjoy the big and small pleasures that life is throwing your way. Exercise moderation and good dose of empathy!

Aquarius: seven of wands, knight of cups, three of swords rx

Time to step your foot down and handle the challenges or obstacles that are coming towards you with a lot of healing and forgiving energy. A sort of "kill them with kindness" situation. You might feel the need to defend yourself from individuals who might be approaching with a desire to bring clarity or mending wounds in regards of past affairs. You can choose to react or respond. This will be a period for you to heal, receive full clarity about previous wounds, and look into the opportunities (romantic or creative) that will let you release and release those wounds once and for all.

If the person comes bearing no ill will, do not choose to retaliate just to gain an upper hand or to win, instead, allow them to express themselves freely, and then let go with love and peace. Do not run from the situations that could arrive to help you further your healing journey, even when they justifiably trigger your desire to avoid it all together. Some faces will remind you of familiar wounds, but instead of coming with more pain, they can come with solutions. Do not engage into any degree of negative self-talk, as this will only cloud your judgment.

Remember you're not the same person you were 6 months or a year ago, and even if this situation comes sudden and sort of unexpected, you are more than ready to handle it. No one will take away your peace. Pay attention to the things that other people can do which reminds you of old triggers, specially towards your values or resources. Your self worth is being highlighted, and you are within your right to protect it. Stay financially smart by planning ahead and embracing a mindset of abundance.

Pisces: the devil rx, queen of cups rx, ten of wands rx

Ou! This reading really said, YOU are the main character for this eclipse season, Pisces. You are on the verge of a break-through or an up-levelling, but first, you must let go of any unhealthy attachments or limiting beliefs that may hold you back. It may be an addiction, unhealthy relationships, or a disengaging career. This period will help you confront your inner fears and anxieties to free yourself from the chains that bind you to your limiting beliefs and unhealthy attachments. It may be about creating a healthier diet, less social media, quitting smoking, spending more time with your loved ones, or focusing more on your goals.

There is a strong focus on letting go of situations that emotionally drain you a lot. There is a need to set firm boundaries and let others know that you are not willing to take on their emotional baggage. Allow them to learn how to be more responsible for their feelings and life experience, after all, they also need to go on their own journey to learn how to cope. It seems that you are simply trying to do too much by yourself, and in your effort to be everything to everyone, you have found yourself struggling under the weight of it all. Delegate and share the work – you don’t have to do it alone. Be firm in saying no to the things you know you can’t take on.

Extra card for Pisces for "what can aid them navigate these moments": 10 of cups!

The support you need is already with you, just accept it and let go of those feelings that keep you thinking you must figure it all out on your own. There are people who drain you, and people who want to support you! Focus on the latter, and allow the rest to navigate their own waters. At the moment, you're going through a lot of meaningful changes that will help you prosper, but bottling things up inside and thinking you have to handle it all without asking for help can become detrimental. Use the energy of this eclipse to release and seek warm within the arms of those who make you feel safe, secure, and loved. Your family, relationship, or desires for long term emotional fulfillment are with you already, just let them in.

The Lunar Eclipse (March 25, 2024) and Solar Eclipse (April 8, 2024) will be really loud if...

1. Your timelord is natally in Aries or Libra

2. Your timelord is currently transiting Aries or Libra

3. Your sign of the year is in Aries or Libra

4. Your Solar Return Ascendant is in Aries or Libra

5. If you are a cardinal sign Rising (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn)

To determine your timelord and sign of the year, using the Whole Signs system, find your age on the diagram below. Your age corresponds to the activated sign and house for the year.

Example:

Capricorn Rising, age 27. Aries is on the 4th House cusp and becomes her sign of the year. Mars is her timelord because it rules Aries. Her home life is highlighted not just by profection, but by the Eclipse.

If you need help, just drop your Rising sign and age in a reply.

October 2024 Important Dates

AKA my notes on The Astrology Podcast's October Forecast, hosted by Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock.

Here's a graphic from honeycomb.co showing the exactness of planetary transits throughout the month as well:

September Recap: We're starting the month in the middle of eclipse season (there was a lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 17th). Chris talks about how the biggest intensity of events usually occurs within 10 days on either side of an eclipse. For example, on the 10th there was the US Presidential debate, which fell in Harris's 10th house/North Node and indeed represented an improvement in her public image. The Vice Presidential debate also takes place today, October 1st, right before the next eclipse. Another Pisces eclipse story is the second assassination attempt on Trump--Chris & Austin connect these to the close square of Uranus on his natal Mars and on top of his natal Midheaven. Using nativities, Chris points out that for the past 20 years the winning presidential candidate has had an eclipse in an angular house, which would point towards Harris winning. However, using zodiacal releasing, Trump is set to enter a new era of prominence in April of next year--whether from presidency or another set is unclear. There are a lot of factors indicating this year's election (and the time between then and the inauguration period!) will be confusing and full of surprises.

Another eclipse story is Israel's attack on Lebanon--the pagers were detonated on the day of the Pisces eclipse. The current war in Palestine began under last year's Libra eclipse, and escalation with Iran occurred along an eclipse as well. They predict October 2nd may very well be the date Israel starts a ground offensive into Lebanon, with implications of a regional war (A/N: this episode was recorded September 29th). There will be another eclipse in Aries before the nodes move off this axis, but the Pisces eclipse's coincidence with the electronics attacks and assassination of Nasrallah may be foreshadowing another 2 years of conflict.

The Pisces eclipse also highlighted Saturn's transit through Pisces: the OceanGate submarine wreck was finally found (crushed during Saturn rx), as well as the sunken wreck of the Erebus, a 19th-century polar exploration vessel. In other water disasters, Hurricane Helene ravaged much of the Appalachian US, the worst storm in a century for many cities and small towns. There were also devastating floods in Europe, Nigeria, and India and typhoons hitting much of East Asia.

October 2nd - Solar eclipse in Libra

Immediately afterwards, the Sun and Moon move towards a square with Mars, boding ill for world events with its significations of war, anger, and aggression. Eclipses on a particular axis often indicate a series of events over about a year and a half (this one began early October), so we know already know which stories are going to wrap up to make way for something new. In our personal lives changes may be for the better--for example, for one viewer this indicates the end of a relationship making room for a new one. Mercury has just separated from a cazimi with the Sun (11♎), and Mars is waiting at 15 Cancer to square all of these planets after they conjoin each other. The changes will take place abruptly, jarringly, and painfully for some. Eclipses shock us, even when they're positive. Mars-Mercury indicates arguments, fighting words, and foul language (goes direct at 17 Libra/Cancer on the 6th). Be careful with your words, as this may represent a longer conflict than you realize, as Mars enters its pre-retrograde shadow period soon after:

Like all retrogrades, Mars brings revisions, repeats, and unexpected delays. With Mars hanging out in the same few degrees of Cancer & Leo for awhile, we'll be spending a lot of time and energy in those areas of our chart. Mars retrograde can work well for those born under one, though--for Mars rx natives sometimes it's when big projects finally come to fruition with them.

During the Mars-Mercury conflict, we will have some support: Venus (14♏) will trine Saturn (14♓) on the 4th-5th, and on the 8th she'll (18♏) trine Mars (18♋) with reception. She comes in to offer a bit of a salve after the chafing of Mars contacts. Also on that day, soon-to-retrograde Jupiter (21♊) will trine Mercury (21♎) with reception, soothing some of the previous hard aspect to Mars. These are the kinds of situations where a terrible accident occurs, but you miraculously escape major injury. This can also represent extremes of good and bad happening at the same time.

October 6th - Mercury square Mars (discussed above)

October 9th - Jupiter stations retrograde He's going to hang out in the same few degrees of Gemini for a long time. See eclipse above for some details on transits leading up to this.

October 11th - Pluto stations direct From the 11th-13th Pluto, while slowing down and stationing, squares Mercury as the inner planet moves from Libra to Scorpio. We've been having Pluto stations in Capricorn since 2008-9, and this is the last he'll be in Capricorn for the rest of any of our lifetimes. Mercury brings the underworld planet's hidden matters to light: think investigative journalism, mystery stories, and exposés on dark scandals. Conversely, we can also see manipulation, control, and suppression of information by forces who prefer to remain in the shadows. Pluto is like a doorway to the underworld: it both plunges things into obscurity and brings up secrets from the depths. This is one last burst of intensity in late Capricorn/cardinal signs for those of us who've been feeling its effects--think of molting, with its vulnerabilities and benefits alike. This also marks the end of the United States' Pluto return--an uncertain evaluation of the next 250 years.

October 13th - Mercury enters Scorpio

October 14th - Sun square Mars While the Sun (21♎) squares Mars (21♋) with Jupiter (21♊) attempting to mediate by trining the Sun, Venus (26♏) opposes Uranus (26♉). With Uranus-Venus we may see some surprises in our relationships. (Chris notes Mercury is at 01Scorpio this day, same as Kamala Harris's natal chart, so the news will probably be about her.)

October 17th - Aries Full Moon, Venus enters Sagittarius

Normally we'd breathe a sigh of relief that eclipse season is over, but the luminaries (🌙:24♈,🌞:24♎) are coming right off a square to Mars (22♋), and are headed right into a square with Pluto (29♑). Thus, by the end of the month, Mars and Pluto begin to oppose each other, an intense configuration that will stay with us for the rest of the year thanks to Mars's retrograde. Don't ignore the little issues that Mars is highlighting in your life; nip things in the bud or keep an eye on them because the problems will only intensify over the next few months. The Mars-Pluto opposition will go exact right around election day in the US, or early November. Thus this full moon sets an ominous tone for the months ahead.

Mars signifies cutting, separation, and conflict, while Pluto takes themes to their utmost extremes, making the small massive and the massive small (think of a mushroom cloud explosion borne from mere atoms colliding). Combined, this indicates annihilation, survival responses, severe overreactions, power struggles, aggression & confrontations, manipulation and control. Other keywords are ruthlessness, forcefulness, and lashing out at perceived enemies, real or imagined. Pluto really enjoys hidden power as well--we may fall for decoys of where the real power lies. Unfortunately this strongly overshadows the US election. Overall, with Pluto involved we can't see clearly, so paranoia and conspiracies abound. It can also indicate horrific acts coming to light, like CBS News publishing the first photographs of torture at Abu Ghraib during the Mars-Pluto opposition of late April 2004, and financial developments like the 2008 bank crashes.

In our personal lives, this may be a period of extreme mental or physical exertion where you accomplish more than you thought possible. Austin cautions us not to react to negative things in a way that makes the situation worse, which is our impulse with Mars in Cancer. Sometimes we have to accept that events beyond our power--control what you can and accept what you can't. Uranus in Taurus will also get folded into this background tension via sextile with Pluto.

October 22nd - Sun enters Scorpio

October 25th - Auspicious electional date

This is a difficult month, but if you have to do something important, the 25th is a good time. A few different times will work; Chris likes around 3PM local time, adjusting until the Ascendant is at about 20 Aquarius. This makes the ruler Saturn in the 2nd house in a day chart, good for financial matters. The Leo Moon applies to a sextile with Jupiter, boding well for earthly events--as long as you can catch it when the moon is applying (at a lower degree; moving towards the aspect) rather than separating (at a higher degree, moving away). (Viewers on the West Coast of the US, for example, may have to move it back a day.) With 20Aquarius rising you get a nice, supportive trine from Jupiter in the 5th house, good for games and leisurely activities. Venus in the 11th house is also helpful, and in Denver they were able to get her near the Midheaven as well, though it's not a dealbreaker if you can't get that to line up. Venus in the 11th, ruled by Jupiter, does well with friends and alliances. Furthermore, though she is applying to a square with Saturn, in this chart it has her in contact with the Ascendant ruler, affirming and supporting you and the actions you take at this time. Not recommended for health or routine matters with a cranky day chart detriment Mars in the 6th house, and beware of Pluto in the 12th house of hidden enemies and self-undoing. Thus, it's not ideal, but we can get some things done.

October 28th - Venus square retrograde Saturn Venus would normally be happy to get out of her detriment Scorpio and into a neutral sign like Sagittarius, but she has to get past this square to Saturn before she can really party. However, this does put her in a whole-sign opposition to Jupiter while being received by him (in his domicile), giving a silver (copper) lining to everything else going on. When one benefic is setting, the other is rising for us.

October 30th - Mercury opposes Uranus (not pictured) At 25 of Scorpio and Taurus respectively, this may be an "October surprise" news scandal (or events in our personal lives).
