The Journey Between What Was and What’s Next

So a little transparency post.

Right now, I’m at a transitional point in my life, and I love learning more and more about astrology because I realised how practical and fundamental it is in helping me understand myself better. I’m currently trying to really investigate and learn all there is about how each house manifests, looking into deeper interpretations of what we can learn about each part of life through the houses.

Lately, I’ve been exploring the 1st House with a lot of focus on the Ascendant. We already know that the Ascendant represents the lens through which we experience the world, so I won't get into detail about what it means assuming that we all know but nevertheless, I was looking into text and work from Howard Sasportas and I really love his perspective of the Ascendent describing it as the "maze" we navigate, which also holds clues to finding our way out. Out to greatness, and out to our sun, where we shine.

For example, as a Scorpio Ascendant, which you probably guessed, the moment I mentioned (investigate). I know there’s an association with uncovering truth. I have always been about trying to find out how things work and digging deeper, uncovering doors that people would rather leave closed.

The lens through which I see the world can sometimes be of depth, sometimes secrecy, but most importantly, it's through transformation. For me, my path involves, investigating my own inner fears and shadows, bringing them to the surface and then truly transforming by letting go of habits that no longer serve me and coming face to face with my own devil.

Doing so requires me to go deeper, to surrender and let go of control and trusting that things will work out for me, and that sometimes, things need to be destroyed so that you can rebuild.

There's a connection there, between the Ascendant and how we experience new beginnings —not just literal birth but every new phase, chapter, or transition in life will bring about or evoke the Ascendent. In the book, "The Houses" he suggests that early life experiences, particularly around birth, set the tone for how we approach these moments. For example, Capricorn/Saturn Ascendants may feel cautious or hesitant, rooted in early struggles or responsibilities tied to Saturnian energy.

Scorpio Rising on the other hand, are often marked by physical, emotional, or situational crises—a dramatic or difficult entrance into the world, may approach things with suspicion, lack of trust and the need to control everything.

I thought this was fascinating, and went to investigate and uncovered that during my birth, there was a real tussle between life and death for both my mother and me. When the doctors were delivering me, I was breached so they had to do a Emergency C section then things were going wrong and my heartbeat was raised, the process was so frantic that they accidentally dislocated my shoulder as i was being pulled out. My first baby pictures shows me in the hospital wearing a little baby sling. It’s fascinating how astrology can provide insights like this.

So for me as Scorpio is ruled by Pluto (modern) and Mars (traditional), both associated with transformation, survival, and regeneration.

Approach to New Beginnings:

Transitions for me often involve endings first—a symbolic death before rebirth.

Every new era in my life resonates with my instinct to dig deep, transform, and emerge stronger, much like the mythical phoenix rising from the ashes.

Starting this blog for me was really hard. IT WAS quite literally a tussle between my old self, thinking "will people want to read this, I'm not good enough or more knowledgeable enough than the other astrologers bloggers here and my new self that wants to rise into this new version of me where I am doing what I love to do. I snuggled immensely with cautiousness and inability to just let go and trust that it will all work out.

The Role of Intensity and Regeneration:

Scorpio Rising thrives in situations that push them to evolve. They may unconsciously attract or create circumstances that force them to confront their limits and grow.

Each new phase in life echoes the qualities of the Ascendant and the issues tied to our first house. These echoes are like subconscious patterns imprinted at birth that reawaken during transitions.

Aries Ascendant

Maze Created: Life is seen as a battleground where action, courage, and decisiveness are necessary. They interpret life as a place that rewards boldness and initiative.

Birth Symbolism: Often associated with quick or eventful births, Aries Ascendants may have entered the world energetically, perhaps as fighters, literally or figuratively.

Transitions: They approach new beginnings with enthusiasm but can rush headlong into situations without full consideration, often learning through trial and error.

Way Out: They must learn patience and strategy, realizing that not every situation requires immediate action or confrontation.

Taurus Ascendant

Maze Created: Life is seen as a place to seek security, comfort, and stability. They create patterns focused on holding onto what they have.

Birth Symbolism: Taurus Ascendants may have had slower, steadier births or situations where grounding and perseverance were required.

Transitions: They approach new phases cautiously, preferring to ensure stability before taking risks. They may resist change, needing time to feel secure in new beginnings.

Way Out: They must embrace change and let go of attachment to material and emotional security, learning that true stability comes from within.

For someone with Scorpio Rising, the story of their birth—literal or metaphorical—might hold keys to understanding their life’s themes. How do you feel about transitions? Do they mirror the intensity or struggle associated with birth? Are new beginnings met with a sense of profound transformation, or is there resistance tied to fear of change?

Understanding these patterns can offer deep insight into how we meet life and find ways to break free from the "maze" we’ve constructed.

PARADIGM SHIFT: APRIL 20TH 2024 JUPITER AND URANUS CONJUNCTION IN TAURUS

from : intuitiverebellion,blogspot.com

On April 20th 2024 when Jupiter and Uranus join in Taurus 21 degrees.

It has been highlighted that out of all 2024 astrological phenomena, the Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction on April 20th will be the most powerful, profound and strongest.

z It will be more prolific than the recent total Aries solar eclipse and signifies the beginning of a new 14-year cycle (so until 2037). Jupiter has a rapid 12-year orbit and Uranus has an 84-year orbit meaning each 14 years Jupiter catches up to Uranus to form a conjunction in a zodiac sign. This time it will be in Taurus, the first time creating a conjunction here in Taurus since 1941.

Before 1941.

It was last conjunct here in years in Taurus we can conceptualise in our historical lens to be before the discovery of the planetary body of Uranus back in years: 1016, 1098,1099, 1181, 1858, and 1941.

It won’t form another Uranus and Jupiter conjunction in the sign of Taurus until the year 2107, so for many of us born AFTER 1941, this is a ONCE IN A LIFETIME transit, given the many other incredibly rare celestial formations that have shaken the planets and asteroids in recent times and influence the celestial & human psychological atmosphere collectively.

To understand the cosmic dance of the planetary bodies; Jupiter circles the sun every 12 yrs. while Uranus takes 84 years to do the same. 12 goes into 84 7 times, thus for each 7th cycle of Jupiter coincides with ONE cycle of Uranus IN THE SAME AREA OF THE SKY.

The last time that Jupiter and Uranus were conjunct in Taurus, 1941 was a tempestuous era globally sculpting the sociopolitical and economic landscape of humanity, in ways that the general masses of human society could not foresee.

This was the peak of World War II, a time when countries were permitting a novel concept: women were joining the workforce in ways they hadn’t before.

Jobs seen as too physically demanding for women; such as making ammunition, agriculture, operating tractors, building trucks, weapons, tanks or planes, were now open for women.

This caused a ripple effect on the social role of a female as a homemaker, carer of children or matriarch.

This recalibrated the global economic paradigm & evoked a long-term change in gender “norms”.

The concept of Taurus being interjected with Jupiter's energy back in 1941 saw a 14-year cycle that would transmute the social fabric of the modern world.

By 1955 the entire foundation of what has become the establishment of the modern western nation was set into motion.

TAURUS & THE THE GODDESS VENUS:

Taurus is ruled by the feminine planet Venus.

Venus is the solar system's mother archetype. (The closest, thus brightest planet from humanity's home on Earth, next to Earth's “father masculine planet-Mars’, ruled by Aries).

Venus is represented by the goddess of beauty, love and pleasure, Aphrodite.

In Taurus, we highlight areas of material wealth and resources and financial security, the home, sensuality, aesthetics, beauty, possessions and how we accumulate a sense of security or safety (wealth, possessions, resources, satiety, job security, economic safety).

Globally and macrocosmic focal points may include: In economic systems, food distribution, resource supply chains, agriculture & mining or earth-based resources.

It is not my area of expertise to go into economic speculation but whether by social engineered disruption and design, an economic crisis has been calibrated that is causing an unspoken (and spoken) distress that is gathering in the collective population.

Australia and this conjunction:

Digital currency and biometric online identification systems seem to be a theme coming up in Australian media outlets with recent Sydney knife attacks leaving the public feeling the fear of the spin from sensationalism via the mainstream media. I’m not downplaying the trauma of the survivors of the events, I know they endure real pain, but rather the propaganda and engineering of a socially designed prompt from the mainstream media to generate a desired outcome. (problem, reaction solution).

Themes of Taurus at present collectively in Australia right now bring into question notions of job security, cost of living, debt, housing prices, loans, mortgages, land or home ownership affordability and student debt which is becoming a more “distant” pipe-dream for younger Australias (age 40 and under) which focuses on Taurus themes of resources, wealth and economic security.

Highlighting the need to find a new method of innovating material resources and methods to acquire “the hierarchy of needs”. (Maslow) to attend to your food, shelter, sleep, possessions, safety, etc. and building up from there will be a focus going forward in the next 14-year cycle of this transit.

URANUS THE REBEL PLANET

Uranus is so far from the sun in our solar system that it draws on its power source to sustain energy, in doing so it acts in ways that set it as an outlier from the other planets. Meaning it’s an unpredictable, rebellious, eccentric, idiosyncratic energy.

Aligned to its astrological ruler, Aquarius.

Uranus and Aquarius represent the higher-self connection and connections to spirituality, religious expression, consciousness, and higher potential.

Uranus was found on March 13 1781 by a German called William Herschel.Uranus was found on March 13 1781 by a German called William Herschel. Uranus or Ouranos comes from ancient Greek and means “the heavens or sky”. It was the name of the original Greek sky god, and partner of Gaia, or Mother Earth.

Without any input of being labelled with any false “manic” mental health label, I reference the astrological journal of 2017 here which expands on the connection between Uranus and Aquarius energetic frequencies:

“Our genius and creativity exalt us to God-like capacities through the Uranus and Aquarius archetype. We develop the faculty to transcend our limitations as mortals, move beyond the average, and attain a greater dimension that bridges matter to spirit. “ - (Fernandez, 2017)

The advantages of this finer expression of the self and Uranus' energy in a heartbeat without a warning can overthrow established conventions, throwing sustained paradigms into oblivion. For Uranus is the wild card which is driven by its drum, calibrating impulsive & spontaneous rhythms.

Jupiter is the royal planet. Bestowed with a divine sceptre only a king can bestow. There is a link to justice and legal pursuits in Jupiters realm. It reflects an ever-flowing chalice shared in communion, public speaking, self-expression, abundance, unlimited growth, luck, expansion, opportunity, travel, success, wisdom & charm. It brings up philosophy, religious experience or higher education.

Jupiter is known as the GREATER BENEFICIARY:

Jupiter is expansion, opportunity, travel, success & wisdom.

Where Jupiter sits in your natal chart is where you experience your luck, fortune & easiest opportunities to succeed in areas such as career, vocation and higher education. It provides an insight into your life purpose and passion, with insight into how your opportunities and success manifest uniquely through your natal chart.

So Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus conjunction at this moment are revolutionary moving into a higher blueprint for humanity. if we collectively care about moving beyond what we are heading towards as purposed by “the powers that be” or what we as creators as destined by the prime creator with divine gods and goddesses inside us all can co-create in our microcosm”.

We too, have the power and potential to tap into the power of the planetary spheres and energy currents, working the geometric and architectural metaphysical mysteries of “god or goddess in our microcosm”

My hypothesis is not just me on my own, or with one or two people as it has been for the last decade, but with a community of people doing the same thing in collective unison, in mutual benevolence.

An astrological cycle that works to symbiotically unify divine humanism as a reality, where people are working in a benevolent symbiosis to align to their higher purpose, skills, strengths, talents, and values.

men and women working TOGETHER in symbiosis to reinvent “what does it mean to have a paid vocation”?

THE TRUTH OF HOW THE CORPORATE PARADIGM WAS FOUNDED

Organisational psychology has a duplicitous historical setup that looks like it was founded with questionable motives.

I’ll take you back to an accidental major I enrolled in 2015 back when I was in my first year of university in organisational behaviour which was the history of the workplace. It went into how the industrial era shaped modern organisational design, initially open about how much the people despised the “assembly line” monotony of the “9-5” production line factory built to produce for profit.

They ran experiment after experiment to try and “build up the morale” of the human psyche of the people working in the factories, doing small things at first like changing the type of lights, or colour of the room, the chairs, giving them different tasks and changing the days or hours they worked.

Nothing was giving the humans working in these factories a sense of purpose hope or meaning. They gave them food, more lunch, snack breaks (how we came up with recess), and eventually the one thing that helped?

HUMAN CONNECTION.

So came the era of workplace community. That was the only motivation to want to go to the factory and work, to see the people they had befriended.

This was the birth of the modern workplace. Which to me, seemed super depressing and illuminated my disdain for everything corporate and formal.

Putting it altogether;

PARADIGM SHIFT & COLLECTIVE AWAKENING:

This Jupiter and Taurus with Uranus energy can innovate the method in which we acquire these resources which means a needed change in the workforce and organisational dynamics that underpin the workplaces that supersede the structures of our society.

Social media censorship in combination with the harsh reality of COVID mandates and lockdown/vaccine “laws in 2020 created a revolution that saw people awakening on a scale unprecedented in Australia.

More than ever, people are stepping away due to new options for post-lockdown work-from-home employment options and looking for new horizons in career or vocation openings.

This conjunction isn’t about predicting what might happen for the globalists who have billions of fiat currency to pay astrologers to scope the celestial horizons decades in advance to shape their future events.

This is about awakening the divine spark of humanity, opening a doorway into aligning souls who are going to be a part of the upcoming paradigm shift “building a better blueprint from the ground up 2.0”.

Unfortunately, the only resources left are proceeding to be policed, data mined and scoped for information so there is nothing left to do but try and push information across the internet to reach receptive people.

This energy current is about an entire paradigm shift, just as the World War 2 astrological event saw women participate in the workplace and move away from the home, familiar or maternal duties on the home front, for that cycle of time.

We saw, as a result, the rise of feminism, women of colour rising into their power to fight for justice against centuries of wrongdoing and closing the wage gaps.

In 2024 changes in work and how people earn income to survive have shifted in cycles.

There are still disparities for some people fitting into traditional workplace settings, especially under what some trans-Pacific states tried to enforce people to abide into experimental RNA modulating “gene therapy” with a “vaccine mandate” or no job policies being enforced across the board.

If a lot of these jobs needed you to be vaccinated with a novel, not yet researched enough to be safe or efficacious enough to warrant the risks of the long-term side effects of risking treatment from the mRNA modulation of the epigenetic markers, people had to choose between “acquisition of survival resources or long term health and liberty”.

This saw traditional employment options having to be evaluated by people.

Others simply liked the freedom of working from home that the lockdowns provided and decided to venture into this full-time.

Seeing people breaking into self-employment, online enterprise or pioneering novel solutions to earn multiple income streams.

Coupled with an increase in the cost of living and inflation, even people with traditional jobs are seeking new ways to make passive streams of income to keep on top of things like crippling debt, mortgage repayments, student loans and other costs that previous generations did not have to do.

The social media landscape opens up non-centralised digital currencies like cryptocurrency and bitcoin. Of course, Uranus energy brings the innovation into the Jupiter realm of growing wealth crossing into the zodiac sphere of Taurus, where resource and material gain is favourable. The price of 1 BTC is now considerably larger.

However, the original Bitcoin is a novel avenue for creators and self-employed entrepreneurs to explore new horizons outside of the fiat system that isn’t confined to the parameters of inflation.

We have podcasts, videos, digital content creators and an endless array of online marketplaces boasting people's skills, strengths and talents with products made through marketplaces like You Tube, Etsy, Amazon, or Instagram/Facebook marketplace.

We now look to a future of automation, digital innovation, artificial intelligence, and online enterprise, and see industries that have been lost to the changes that took place globally in 2020 (partially due to the Covid-19/Saturn & Jupiter Conjunction).

We see the uprising of new pioneering industries innovating changes in the way we live life with technology and digital media at the forefront of our lives.

The Uranus and Taurus energy with Jupiter alignment brings a merger to both energy currents. Taurus changing things in the scope of material acquisition, while Uranus rebels against the paradigm that has cemented the framework of "what is in place but is ineffective" in modern social systems in terms of resources, finances and material stability.

The change making energy catalysed by this cycle can be chaotic, sudden or unsettling, but the Taurus frequency is fixed in the Earth, as it is an elemental earth sign, keeping us in tune with our physical bodies, reminding us to stay attuned to the senses, be mindful of what our bodies need and desire without being caught up into the heavy chorus of Uranus innovation.

under the ⋆ scorpio new moon ⋆ on nov 1st, expect secrets to bubble up everywhere—truths people have been avoiding will have a way of coming to light. those pretending in relationships or hiding behind masks? might feel the heat, as scorpio’s energy doesn’t let anyone off the hook.

this new moon is all about transformation, so the collective vibe could be a little “burn it down to build it up.” people might suddenly feel ready to cut ties with anything (or anyone) that no longer aligns with who they’re becoming.

also, don’t be surprised if the urge to dive into something taboo or explore deeper mysteries hits hard. scorpio energy is magnetic like that—people could find themselves wanting more raw, intense experiences, ditching anything that feels shallow or inauthentic. it’s like, “go deep or go home.”

under this scorpio new moon, each rising sign will feel the urge to confront hidden truths, release what's stagnant, and dive deeper into the areas of life ruled by scorpio in their chart. here’s a quick rundown of how the collective energy might hit for each rising sign:

⋆ aries rising: this new moon in your 8th house is bringing up buried emotions, debts, and the need to confront shared resources or deep-seated fears. expect some intense revelations—relationships that aren’t built on mutual trust or intimacy might feel the strain. it’s time to let go of any emotional baggage and reclaim your power.

⋆ taurus rising: in your 7th house of partnerships, this new moon wants you to dig deep in relationships. weak or superficial connections won’t survive the intensity, so you may be pushed to either commit fully or release what isn’t working. power dynamics could surface, so it’s a moment to redefine what true partnership means to you.

⋆ gemini rising: this hits your 6th house of health and routines. expect some revelations around your daily habits or work life. what’s been festering under the surface, whether it’s burnout or neglected self-care, is coming to light. it’s time to let go of routines that drain you and make space for new, healthier habits.

⋆ cancer rising: the new moon in your 5th house of romance, creativity, and pleasure is calling for depth. casual flings or uninspired creative projects may suddenly feel meaningless. you’re being asked to dive deeper into what truly ignites your passion and release any fears holding back your self-expression.

⋆ leo rising: hitting your 4th house of home and family, this new moon may bring hidden family dynamics or unresolved childhood patterns to the surface. it’s a time for releasing anything that prevents you from feeling secure. you might feel the urge to cleanse your space—physically or emotionally—to reclaim your sense of home.

⋆ virgo rising: with this new moon in your 3rd house of communication, expect some intense conversations or revelations. words have weight now, and anything left unsaid may come spilling out. it’s a time to clear misunderstandings and bring hidden thoughts to light, letting go of shallow connections in favor of real ones.

⋆ libra rising: in your 2nd house of money and values, this new moon is asking you to confront your relationship with security. you might feel pushed to let go of financial habits that don’t serve you or reevaluate what you truly value. it’s about reclaiming your power over resources and finding stability from within.

⋆ scorpio rising: this is your new moon, hitting your 1st house of self. it’s time for a rebirth—shedding outdated parts of your identity and embracing the real you. you might feel ready to show a more intense, authentic version of yourself and release anything (or anyone) that doesn’t align with who you’re becoming.

⋆ sagittarius rising: with this new moon in your 12th house, hidden fears or subconscious patterns may surface, asking for release. this is a deeply introspective time, perfect for shadow work. it’s about letting go of self-sabotaging behaviors and finding peace with the hidden parts of yourself.

⋆ capricorn rising: in your 11th house of friendships and goals, this new moon is challenging your social connections. superficial friendships may fall away, and you’ll feel drawn to people who share your deeper values. it’s also a moment to set new, transformative goals and let go of any dreams that no longer feel authentic.

⋆ aquarius rising: this new moon in your 10th house brings intensity to your career and public image. if you’re in a role that feels unaligned with your true self, you might feel the urge to make a change. it’s time to reclaim your professional power, release fears around success, and go after something that feels meaningful.

⋆ pisces rising: in your 9th house of beliefs and higher learning, this new moon pushes you to confront limiting beliefs and expand your worldview. you might feel drawn to dive into taboo topics or explore hidden truths. it’s time to let go of any outdated philosophies and embrace a more transformative, authentic path forward.

2024: The Year of the Dragon

Well, we made yall! This was a 7 ruled year, ruled by the Moon, Neptune, and South Node. This year had us all deep in our feelings. So many people had their first spiritual awakening, others psychic gifts has strengthened. This year was teaching us on how to listen to our intuition. If you’re a creative, then this year was really the year ideas and projects came to you. With the moon here, so many people started their own families, so many woman in my personal life had babies this year lol. Our family dynamics changed, our homes may have changed. Lots of early life/past lives issues smacked us in the face this year, a lot of people started their healing journey.

This year is an 8 ruled year.

8 rules over the spiritual and materialistic world. 8 is balance, it means you need to balance being in our world and the spiritual.

8 is also an infinity symbol, hence why is it’s a loop. What loops(patterns)have you been stuck in? This year will show you that and what loops you need to get out of

8 also have a deep love for humanity, so I personally expect more protest against wars, those who are really suffering in our world. There’s going to be a strong empathy pull. Make no mistake though, the number 8 also rules over authority, social status, ego, inner strength and wisdom. While there’s a lot of love, there’s going to lots of people having unchecked egos so be careful of that. Listening to others opinions(whether you agree or not) will be a collective lesson.

The number 8 is ruled by Saturn and Capricorn. This is a Saturnian year. So to my fellow Saturnians/Capricorn placements/10h, we are the first in line the classroom (earth) this year lol.

Saturn is in Pisces, so fellow Caps, and everyone really, I feel we are going to continue being in our feelings and will begin to open our hearts to others. Capricorn is a reserved sign, doesn’t really show outward emotions, they would rather cry in private or in the shower😅. Not this year LoL, this year is teaching us that it’s okay to not be okay, it’s okay to be open about it as well. We will meet people who will show us the magical side of life. Saturn is a realism and pessimistic sign, but Pisces is the sign of hope, magic and fantasy. Remember, Pisces is also co ruled by Jupiter which is currently in Taurus. What is success to you? Is this success to you because this is what you were taught or is this what you really want? These are the type of questions you will be asking yourself.

8 is the number for Karma as well. Karma isn’t what many people think it is lol. Karma isn’t just some revenge type of thing lol. Also, Karma isn’t always bad either so get that out your mindset as well. Bad things happen to good people all the time, you being a good person doesn’t exempt you of messed up situations. If anything, it’s to make you become more empathetic and self aware of the bad things. Karma can be good as well

The etymology of karma is from the Sanskrit meaning “Action, Effect, Fate”

Karma is what you do that will cause a ripple/effect that can change your fate.

Example:

1. You get into a relationship and everything is going great for a year. Then you discovered your partner cheated. Your hurt and say “karma will get him and I can’t wait to watch.”

2. Months go by and you see your cheater ex is in a new relationship, treating this new partner better than you. You start thinking “karmas not real because if it was, why are they living the good life?” Meanwhile, you’re still picking up the pieces to heal but you’re healing is the key word.

3. Little do you know, your ex had cheated on you with someone who’s only using them and they end up getting cheated on. It wasn’t because of you, know they created that ripple for themselves. They let there ego and lust dictate there actions. If they would’ve had any control, they would’ve known not to do this so the Universe/God let the domino fall. They may end struggling with their career, health, spiritually to teach them to grow and learn. Now will they? That’s up to them. Just because someone appears to be doing well from the outside doesn’t mean that they really are or going to be.

4. You’ve done your healing and now know what you want and the red flags to look out for. You end up in an actual healthy relationship. A friend of yours suspects her partner of cheating and asked for your advice. Because you went through this, you know the signs. Because of this, you helped her. See that domino effect lol

That was long but I hope that makes sense you all! I have a mercury Rx in my chart so my thoughts go everywhere lol.

One of the first biggest events of 2024 is that Pluto enters Aquarius

Dates: January 20th - September 1st

Then: it will go back in Capricorn for the last time in our lifetime in September 1- November 20th.

Finally: it will go into Aquarius November 20th, where it will stay unto 2043. Y’all this is a 20 year transit!! So many changes are about to happen

I’ve already made a post about this transit, you can read it here!

2024 is the year of the dragon, in the element Wood.

Dragons are seen as honorable, strength, success

Wood represents vitality and creativity

-this is good year to pursue your goals and if you’re consistent, you will achieve success.

Eclipses

First Lunar eclipse will be on March 25th.

It will be in the sign of Libra! Which is where South Node currently is as well. Relationships with our family and within our home will be highlighted. The house that Libra rules in your chart will tell you how this will

First Solar eclipse will be on April 8th

It will be in the sign of Aries with NN being in it. Setting new goals for yourself, starting something new in your life, be bold and brave.

2nd Lunar eclipse is in Pisces on September 17th. Hello feelings lol! Pisces will have us sit alone and think about our most hidden thoughts and they will be highlighted. This is a good time for spiritual growth.

2nd Solar eclipse is in Libra on October 2nd. Relationships will be the hot topic for 2024. I predict so many people are going to be breaking up, finding love, having new friendships, family relationships are going to be changing, collaborating with people, justice, fairness will all be themes

Mercury Retrogrades will be in fire signs this year

First Mercury Rx is in Aries on April 1st-25th. Thinking and planning your goals, making sure everything is in order.

2nd Rx is August 4th-28th in the sign of Virgo and Leo. It’s giving say it with your chest energy but not too much lol. Be brave with your thoughts but try to think rationally as well.

3rd Rx is November 25th in Sagittarius. Time for us to reflect on our ideals that we’ve learned. Look at different philosophies point of view

Another big Astrological event is the Jupiter-Uranus in Taurus conjunction on April 20th.

Jupiter is the planet if expansion, higher learning, traveling and religion

Uranus is the planet of change, science of medicine, innovation and rebellion.

Taurus is the 2nd sign of the zodiac and it rules over our finances, self worth, our possessions, food, beauty, nature such as forest and trees.

What do I predict with this transit:

-huge breakthroughs with regarding medicines and innovative discoveries

-something dealing with travel or immigration

-I suspect some type if change regarding the church or how people view the church (pastors, priest etc)

-something dealing with our food and us being more aware about our own dietary choices. What’s not good for us and what goes in our food basically

On May 25th, Jupiter leaves Taurus and enters airy sign Gemini. It will be in Gemini until 2025

The best way to describe this transit is communication!!! Remember Jupiter expands everything so we will be more open about our thoughts and standing on business on what we say! I feel there’s going to be a huge influx on the dire need to want to go back to school and learn new things. Big cars are going to the thing everyone will want to have! If you’re a writer, this can be a good year to write that book and get it published, all the way up until 2025 at least.

Mars Go Rx December 6th- February 23rd 2025, in the sign of Cancer and Leo!

This is poignant because Mars only go retrograde every 2 years! The last Rx was 2021-2022 ish and it was in Gemini

With it switching from water and fire, emotions will be be high. Really check your emotions during this time, this can be a good time to sort your home out, being motivated to start something like a creative outlet.

As you all can see, this is going to be an eventful year but I’m wishing you all happy and memorable one! To those who’ve been following me this year, I just want to say thank you! thank you! thank you!

With love and gratitude

If you believe at all in astrology or psychic abilities, please do not ignore this. Pluto is moving into Aquarius on the 19th of this month, aka the planet associated with innovation, equality, and REVOLUTION, after the shitshow that was the American presidential election. This is the first time in over 200 years this has happened, (the American Revolution started 248 years ago, which is also the last time Pluto was in Aquarius!!!) Aquarius is the sign driving us to consider collective ideals, humanitarian improvement, utopia vs dystopia in our society, I mean, helloooo!!! Pluto's strongest potential is in EMPOWERMENT. I just felt very drawn to look into this and share with ya'll. I know not everyone believes in astrology or witchcraft, but the spiritually tuned in knew when trump was elected, I myself had a dream that he was elected and woke up the next day and he had. Of course this is majorly scary, but many psychics have been feeling and receiving peaceful signs that it will be okay or that now is the time to be bold. This is kind of the biggest astrological deal of our era. For those who practice please do what you can to protect yourselves, spread news of this and manifest all good and positive things for our collective future. Pluto will remain in Aquarius until 2043, almost 20 years, so get ready for some big changes. Love ya'll, stay safe and don't give up <3

Energy Update: Mercury Retrograde, August 2024

Starting on August 5th, Mercury enters retrograde 3/4 of 2024. The retrograde runs from 04° Virgo to 21° Leo and makes thrice repeating trines with our Wounded Healer Chiron in Aries and squares to Uranus in Taurus. Retrograde Mercury will also conjunct the Sun and Venus once (as it does most retrograde cycles) and sextile Mars in Gemini once, as well.

The Basics

Mercury, our planet of communication, technology, and travel, is the fastest-moving planet in our solar system and retrogrades 3 to 4 times every year. This means that Mercury’s retrograde cycle is “business as usual” and isn’t something that should be feared but it is a change in the energy signature of one of our personal planets, so it’s worth paying attention and making adjustments where necessary.

Retrogrades don’t mean that the planet ACTUALLY is moving backward, of course. It is a perspective shift in our perception of the planetary movement through our skies. In this way, our perspectives and perceptions can get a bit twisted during these times and it is easy to miss key details or communicate ineffectively.

During Mercury’s retrograde, Mercury traces its path backward in our skies and it is considered better to go over your work rather than start something new. Mercury passes over these degrees in the sky thrice: the first time during its pre-retrograde shadow, the second time while it moves backward during its retrograde, and again a third time while it moves forward in its post-retrograde shadow. Because of this, we all get the cosmic opportunity to relearn and refocus on certain things that are going awry in our lives.

By looking at the degrees of Mercury’s retrograde and comparing it to your birth chart, you can understand how Mercury’s retrograde cycle might affect you. If you don’t want to do this yourself, you can always purchase a Mercury retrograde transit chart from me on Kofi.

Mercury retrogrades affect some people more than others. By order of significance, these people are most likely to be affected by a Mercury retrograde:

If you have Sun, Moon, Ascendant in Gemini and Virgo, or Mercury closely conjunct (within 2°) to your Sun, Moon, or Ascendant

If your natal Mercury was in retrograde or out of bounds

If the current retrograde crosses over your Sun, Moon, or Ascendant (in conjunction) or makes a square or opposition

If the current retrograde crosses over your Mercury, Venus, or Mars or makes a square or opposition with them

If the current retrograde makes a trine with one of your personal planets or a sextile to your Sun, Moon, or Ascendant

If you work in a job that involves technology, communication, or travel or are currently undergoing a task that involves one of these domains during this retrograde cycle

If you live with, are in a relationship with, or closely work with a person who meets the above criteria

One can assume that the more of these factors in play, the stronger you may experience the effects of a Mercury retrograde cycle. This isn’t to say that what you experience will be bad or wrong – some people experience a lot of freedom from Mercury’s journey. The more open you are willing to give up control and stay open to the ever-changing landscape of a Mercury cycle, the easier it will be.

The Nitty Gritty

Now that we’ve gone over the basics let’s take a look at the specifics of THIS Mercury retrograde cycle. Mercury will retrograde backward from 04° Virgo to 21° Leo. This puts the stressors of this retrograde on the early mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) and late fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius). The switchover from Fixed to Mutable signs can be viewed as the energy of relaxation, both of effort and intent. It’s important that we need both types of energy in our lives (both fixed/controlled and mutable/relaxed); this retrograde cycle is likely to bring up issues of imbalance between these two differing energy signatures. You may find yourself stuck on one side of this equation (all relaxed and unable to accomplish anything or all fixed and unable to stand down).

Mercury will interact with all of our other personal planets (the Sun, Moon, and Venus through conjunction and Mars in sextiles), which shows that this retrograde will take on a more personal nature. Although we experience Mercury’s retrogrades 3-4 times a year, not all of them pack as much punch as others. This Mercury cycle will be inside our homes and likely impact our daily lives and our interactions with our Others.

Additionally, Mercury will make three trines to Chiron in Aries (sitting on top of that touchy point from our total solar eclipse back in April) and three squares to Uranus in Taurus. Unlike our personal planet aspects, these don’t influence our personal lives as directly, but they will impact the general energy of the world at large, which sometimes can trickle into our personal lives. [Note here that if you have personal planets that interact in aspect with these Mercury-Uranus and Mercury-Chiron moments, this may impact you personally.]

Let’s start with Chiron because it’s the energy we’ve already stewed in. Chiron isn’t one of the planets but an asteroid that has caught the interest of many astrologers in recent years. Often called the Wounded Healer, it represents a pain point or an unhealed wound. Back in April, we experienced a Mercury retrograde that coincided with our eclipse season, and during the total solar eclipse, the Sun was conjunct with both Mercury and Chiron. This was a whopper of a day that many people are still reeling from. Although Chiron has kept moving, it is still only 4° from this fate-filled spot. That means that, to a greater or lesser degree, each connection between Mercury and Chiron is another chance for us to revisit this energy.

“Revisit,” being one of the big re’s, is one of the keywords to understanding Mercury retrograde lessons. We are being given a chance to revisit, revise, rework, and reimagine. With Chiron involved, it’s likely to hurt (at least at first). It may feel like too much. But its worth remembering that Chiron isn’t something that happens TO you, it is considered to be a force of strong healing energy working FOR you.

It’s also worth remembering that Mercury will pass over this point with Chiron three times: once in forward motion during its pre-retrograde shadow, a second while moving backward in retrograde, and a third time in forward motion during its post-retrograde shadow.

Newsflash: you don’t have to get it right the first time through.

A common metaphor for imagining retrograde cycles is as a lesson or “hole” in the ground with which we must fall in/pass over/encounter trice to gain the full experience of the situation.

The story unfolds something like this:

Oh, there’s a hole in the ground! I fell into it because I didn’t know that it was there. It’s not my fault. (pre-retrograde shadow phase)

Oh, there’s a hole in the ground. I fell into it again. I did know it was there…maybe I should learn to avoid this hole? (retrograde phase)

And, if all goes well: Oh hey, that’s a hole in the ground! It’s the same hole I fell into before. I know how to walk around this now. (post-retrograde phase)

If the solar eclipse in April passed by uneventfully, you may find that this Mercury-Chiron set of trines also does. If the eclipse was especially difficult, consider this a chance to gain better insight into what happened and why. We can re-frame these transits to be for our own good by being open to the experiences of Mercury’s underworld journeys.

Lastly, we should discuss Mercury square Uranus. Mercury and Uranus have a lot in common—they both involve and control our brain processes to a certain point. If Mercury is the thinking brain, Uranus can be viewed as pure inspiration. Mercury is quick-moving and changeable; Uranus is slow-moving but enacts drastic and lasting change. Many modern astrologers view Uranus as the higher octave of Mercurial energy; it is Mercury’s energy infused with the beyond.

For the most part, Uranus’s energy simply happens to us. It is the lightning bolt in the Tower card, the hurricane that washes away a whole floodplain, or the volcano that awakens to bring destruction and rebirth. What I mean by this is that it is so far beyond us that it can often feel catastrophic, but – like the eclipses – Uranus has a way of blowing open opportunities that we couldn’t even have imagined. We are all stuck little humans who don’t like to change our own lives and sometimes something beyond us seems to reach down and make that change FOR us so that we are forced to move.

We don’t get a choice in what happens to us in situations like this, but we do get a choice in how we respond.

Two out of these three Mercury square Uranus days are full moons, which puts extra emphasis on their energy signatures. On one of these two days (8/19), the Sun in Leo will be conjunct to Mercury and also square to Uranus in Taurus, making a fixed t-square in the sky. Of the three days, this is the one to watch out for and potentially lie low through. The other two dates are days to encourage divine inspiration if that is your thing.

Watch out for how you speak during these rough squares, as misunderstandings will run rampant, and tempers may be at an all-time low. Uranus is never a patient planet, but in Taurus, it can become a raging bull in about six seconds flat. Give yourself and your others as much grace as you can during this time. Shut your mouth entirely, perhaps, and work on listening (something Mercury in egoic Leo definitely can have a problem with at times).

Any time a retrograde bridges the cusp between signs, you can guess that we will need to dig deep into the differences between the two signs somehow. Virgo is our mutable earth sign, often concerned with work, perfectionism, and effort. Leo is our fixed fire sign, more likely to be the lazy lion basking in the sun while the gruntlings do the work. Remember here, there is no judgment on these energies: there is a time to do the work and a time to bask in the Sun. The problem comes into play when you only do one and not the other.

Standard Mercury retrograde warnings apply:

Technology tends to go a bit wonky, so save your work often and proofread twice before you hit send on an important document. Mercury retrograde is considered the ideal time to edit: reread, rewrite, rework. Travel will take twice as long and almost inevitably involve detours—pack your patience and determination to enjoy the ride. If a person from your past shows up again, look into the unfinished business, but don’t expect it to last past Mercury stations direct. Mercury is a trickster: if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

All that glitters is never gold during Mercury’s retrograde cycles, but Fool’s Gold can be its own reward.

What can we expect from 2024 dear!?? 😌

2024 has a lot going on; there are so many astrological transits happening that have a huge impact on all of us.

January 1, 2024: Mercury went direct after being in retrograde for several weeks. This means communication gets better, legal documents can be signed without issues, and anything related to speech is cleared up.

January 20 - September 1, 2024: Pluto enters Aquarius. This is going to be a wild ride. The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was around the late 1700's, and during that time, the world underwent MASSIVE change. Both the American and French Revolutions occurred, coups happened with governments, royalty was dethroned, battles and wars were fought, the first wave of feminism began, etc. There's so much more than this. You should see the list. I'll include it here--start around 1777 and go through 1798. Pluto represents death, rebirth, and transformation, while Aquarius represents humanity and technology. When you pair these two, you're looking at major transformation socially, politically, economically, and technologically. There's a brief retrograde into Capricorn for one last time during our lifetime, and then Pluto will return to Aquarius for another 20 years. It's interesting to note that the rise and fall of empires throughout history is around 250 years. The cycle for Pluto is 245 years. Coincidence? I think not.

February 16, 2024: A stellium in Aquarius. A stellium occurs when three or more planets are in the same house/sign in an astrological chart. This Aquarius stellium will feature Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Pluto. The last time this occurred was in February, 1962, and was commonly referred to as the "Age of Aquarius." This time period brought about major changes in the fields of technology, science, and aerospace. I'm afraid that during this time, though, there will be a strong focus on AI and its advancement. Pay attention to headlines regarding an upgrade in technology.

March 25, 2024: Lunar eclipse in Libra. Major historical events typically coincide with lunar eclipses, and since this one will be in Libra, I foresee society wishing for balance, harmony, peace, and justice. I believe this will be a time that humanity will call for us to take a deeper look at how we can end strife and get along with each other. Be ready for major calls for wars and upheaval to end (even though it's happening now, this will be on a much larger scale with this eclipse).

April 8, 2024: Solar eclipse in Aries. On the flip side of the lunar eclipse, we have the solar eclipse in Aries. This will be a time where we start anew and are ready to charge down a new path. Mars' energy represents war, destruction, violence, revenge, but also strength. This particular eclipse is warning us about war and destruction on a collective level because it'll be conjunct the North Node (the direction we're all going). I believe we're headed into a total collapse and rebirth when we add in the Pluto in Aquarius energy, but it's something that needs to happen for us to evolve as a civilization.

May 25, 2024: Jupiter in Gemini, which is actually in detriment. This means the energy is weaker in this sign for the planet. Expect changes in telecommunications (voice, data, and video) and social media, since Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication.

June 2, 2024: Neptune is anaretic. Anaretic means that a planet has entered the 29th degree, which holds a sense of finality because this planet has transited all 30 degrees (starting at 0). It's ready to move on and cut ties. What does this mean for Neptune? Well, the planet of illusions will lift its veil and a lot of what we've held onto in our beliefs will die out. Some people will still try to hold on (sunk-cost fallacy) because they're stubborn, but the majority of people will release, mourn, and deal with the fallout that's going to be super messy. Imagine the feeling of being betrayed by someone you love. That's what Neptune lifting it's veil is going to feel like for most. Again, collectively, we NEED this energy for healing and spiritual growth.

July 21, 2024: Full Moon in Capricorn. Most of the time, nothing major happens on full moons, but this one is interesting because it falls on an anaretic degree, just like Neptune. Capricorn represents structure, discipline, rigidity, and order (its ruler is Saturn), so we're going to see some upheaval in regards to these issues. The old way of doing things will no longer serve the same purpose. This is the equivalent of saying, "Out with the old, in with the new."

August 5, 2024 – August 28, 2024: Mercury Retrograde in Virgo and Leo. With Mercury rx in Virgo, this might be a time where you lose or misplace documents, feel irritated, have constant miscommunication, or face scrutiny from the general public. Remember to write down important deadlines and keep everything organized so you don't lose anything. With Mercury rx in Leo, I'm fully expecting some celebrity scandals during this time. Otherwise, it'll be a time of thinking about trying something new or wanting to get out and do something fun.

September 17, 2024: Lunar Eclipse in Pisces. This will happen in the 25th degree (an Aries degree), so anyone with heavy Pisces placements will have creative breakthroughs during this time. We'll see a rise in great music, art, poetry and literature, as well as film and visual arts. This time period might feel very dreamy and whimsical on the art scene.

October 2, 2024: Solar Eclipse in Libra. We had the lunar eclipse in Libra in March, so now, the solar eclipse will bring justice and balance. Anyone with Libra placements in early degrees will feel the need to purge what's not working. Even though most Librans are peaceful, this will be a time of upheaval. Expect people to help the oppressed even more (seeking justice) in a world that needs to be more fair and balanced (Libra energy).

November 19, 2024: Pluto goes direct in Aquarius for twenty years, until March 8, 2043. Buckle up! It's going to be a bumpy-but-necessary ride.

November 25, 2024 – December 15, 2024: Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius. We all know what happens during Mercury rx, but what happens when it's in Sagittarius? Sagittarius represents higher education and learning, all things foreign and travel-related, religion, and spirituality. Expect religious or spiritual leaders, as well as educational leaders at universities, to have private documents leaked, misinformation stemming from foreign countries and media, as well as travel issues (delays, being rerouted, lots of crowds, etc.). This will not be a good time to travel.

December 6, 2024 – February 24, 2025: Mars Retrograde in Cancer and Leo. This is going to be...interesting. Mars hates being in Cancer; it's in detriment. Why? Cancer represents empathy and compassion, while Mars represents a more masculine energy that strives towards war, violence, and destruction. Cancer wants to provide a resolution to all of the conflict occurring, while Mars isn't having it. Expect masculine energies, especially men, to be more irritated and aggressive during this time. This duo can bring about discussion regarding balancing masculine and feminine energy, which we all have. Because Cancer is represented by the Moon, or the "mother" in astrology, expect some discussions about fertility and reproduction, birth rates (especially the low birth rates of some countries), marriage (or lack thereof), and any social dynamics with males and females. These discussions will carry over into 2025.

2024 is going to be a year that'll go down in history, that's for sure. One silver lining in all of this is that Venus does NOT retrograde this year, so we might see or hear about fewer breakups, and we might see or hear about more people entering into relationships and staying together.

The Sun is squaring Jupiter until February 5, so if you have any social media following, no matter how small, be careful with your words.

Being too harsh, insensitive or not thinking your words through will get you in hot water and affect you harshly.

[hoodreader]

today’s transit is MOON IN LIBRA CONJUNCT VENUS IN LIBRA CONJUNCT SOUTH NODE IN LIBRA.

9.5.24. right now, the moon is in a close conjunction to venus, with venus being domicile.

a moon-venus conjunction is a pretty auspicious transit. two nocturnal benefics joined together aid the native in feeling secure, content, and harmonious. there’s an emphasis on comfort. so in the face of opposition, it might feel water off a duck’s back. moon being in an air sign helps with not personalizing things that upset u. just take a nap or something, lol

this conjunction is also conjunct the south node, revisiting the past could also cause some of that familiar comfort. watching ur fave childhood movie, listening to some childhood songs, or eating a childhood food. something that reminds u of home too, possibly. or ur maternal figure. there’s just a lot of love in the air. romantic, familial, & more.

ur subconscious is more illuminated with the south node influence. it’s like the moon and venus are both brought to that deep, karmic part of urself. so much… u might start seeking comfort using tools from past lives. just don’t lean too much into the south node with this transit that u neglect the balance of the north node too. u might begin to shroud urself into what made u feel ‘safe’ in the past at the expense of ur growth. if we stayed in the shallow water, we would never explore the depths of our own unconsciousness and shadow, and a south node conjunct moon transit is a great time to explore ur shadow.

so overall… while comfort is the theme for today, i advise against leaning too much on what makes u feel comfortable that u hinder urself. a south node conjunct is a north node opposition, after all.

November 2024 Important Dates

AKA my notes on The Astrology Podcast's November Forecast hosted by Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. It's been a minute and I'm glad to be back!

November 1st - New Moon in Scorpio

This lunation at 9 degrees of Scorpio highlights the two big oppositions that will dominate the month: Venus (17♐)-Jupiter(20♊) and Mars (29♋)-Pluto (29♑). These aspects culminate just 2 days later on the 3rd. Placements in mutable signs will see great help while late cardinal signs are getting challenges, and these two configurations aren't very connected--our hosts predict about half the population will be exuberant and the other half distressed. Jupiter and Venus bring enthusiasm, hope, rewards, victory and triumphs over long struggles, especially in the vibrant signs of Gemini and Sagittarius (although it may be a little too much chatter and information or putting too much faith in limited data with Jupiter retrograde).

November 2nd - Mercury enters Sagittarius This is the sign where he'll retrograde (discussed at the end of the post).

November 3rd - Venus opposite retrograde Jupiter, Mars enters Leo Venus-Jupiter discussed above under the lunation. Meanwhile, Mars (29♋) opposes Pluto (29♑) right before he enters Leo...a story that has been connected on the world scale to ruthless warfare and excessive deployments of military force. It's the first of 3 Mars-Pluto oppositions we'll get in the upcoming months, but the only one in Cancer-Capricorn. Mars presides over conflicts generally, and Pluto brings in the shadow element--think sneaky power plays, spying, and information warfare. On a personal level, Austin cautions us not to confuse feelings of powerlessness and paranoia with the real thing and be aware that this configuration will make us blow things out of proportion. One piece of advice for working through such a transit is to name or shed light on the metaphorical demon--don't let your worries stay nebulous, oppressive and all-encompassing. Seeing things for what they really are will bring it back to scale.

There will then be a huge tone change as Mars ingresses into Leo (for example, Mars in Gemini and Cancer brought big shift in US politics). Until the 19th, Pluto and Mars are no longer opposing each other by sign. The volume is turned down for a couple weeks...but it'll be back. Mercury will also join Mars in retrograde later this month (enters the shadow period, or the degrees it will revisit, on the 7th), so we're definitely going to be revisiting things. For example, we can expect delays and complications around the US election. Overall the Mars retrograde story doesn't wrap up until April (plus some personal zodiacal releasing stuff for Trump), which means some part of this story isn't gonna be over until the spring. Probably this means events we don't think are important now will come back to haunt us months later.

We're going to have 2 months of Mars in Leo regardless of anything else going on. Mars in Cancer is very emotional and internal and in personal lives can show up as being concerned for the safety of one's home or family, while on a larger level has indicated turf wars and disputes over origins or homeland. Mars in Leo will externalize and move very quickly; think showmanship and exuberance. Mercury is also moving from a water sign (Scorpio) to fire (Sagittarius), moving us from defense to offense and thinking forward. Additionally, as a fixed sign Leo usually has more certainty and staying power, but because of the retrograde it may take awhile to see what will last and what won't.

November 11th - Venus enters Capricorn She'll apply to a sextile with Saturn that culminates on November 21st. Though sextiles are weak aspects, Saturn is receiving Venus, making this a notable positive aspect of the month. Venus-Saturn helps us set and enjoy good boundaries.

November 15th - Saturn stations direct, Full Moon in Taurus

This lunation occurs at the same time that Saturn stations in Pisces, intensifying its significations. (For example, the Titan submarine disaster occurred during the first Saturn station in this sign). Positive manifestations of Saturn in Pisces involve setting necessary boundaries and restrictions: the Mars-Saturn conjunction in this sign included the first US laws about restricting forever chemicals in the water. Bet on problematic water stories in the news around the 15th.

The other major signature of this lunation is that the Moon (24♉) conjoins Uranus (25♉) immediately after, so there's a curveball or unexpected twist set to happen mid-month. Uranus and the Moon are also both on the fixed star Algol (as they were together in July), a star with dark and gory associations. Usually an exalted Moon in Taurus would be stabilizing, but something is disruptive this time around. In personal charts unexpected disruptions and plot twists can turn out to be exciting or work for our benefits--great news, you don't have to go to school because a pipe burst and it's closed for 3 months!

November 16th - Sun opposite Uranus

November 19th - Pluto enters Aquarius This is a major shift in world astrology. Pluto's been going back and forth between Capricorn and Aquarius for the past few years, but now he's in Aquarius for good (he won't return to Capricorn for ~237 years). Chris says cyberpunk dystopia scenarios are playing out, such as billionaires controlling mass media and other hi-tech means of control. The flipside of major corporate control is people using the technology available to them to improve their own lives. Unlike the noir unhappy endings of cyberpunk media, though, we know that there will be a new phase after this: Pluto in Pisces 15-20 years down the road. Thus the adaptations we make today can lead us into the future. Pay close attention to what happens around this ingress to see what the next decade or two will be like. Pluto's ingress to Capricorn in 2008 coincided with the banking crisis/recession and creation of bitcoin--things like AI, robotics, and possibly space flight will start coming into serious play.

November 21st - Sun enters Sagittarius

November 25th - Mercury stations Retrograde Placements from 6-22 degrees of Sagittarius (and other mutable signs) will start something this month that will be revisited, revised, or repeated on December 15th, the day Mercury stations direct. The story won't completely wrap up until Mercury exits his post-retrograde shadow period (that is, goes past 25♐, where he stationed,) on January 2nd. With Jupiter and Mercury in each other's signs there is mutual reception, bringing us victorious and enthusiastic messages...maybe too much so. Be wary of announcing good news too soon. With Neptune squaring them both from Pisces, there's an element of deception or confusion imparted to the beginning of this retrograde. Especially with Mercury in detriment in Sagittarius, there's a risk of telling tall tales or confusing myths for facts. Also coming up during this retrograde: Mercury has his cazimi (exact conjunction to the Sun) on December 7th at the same time that Mars stations retrograde, 12/6-12/7 is an important turning point. Overall, November ends on a cliffhanger that will resolve partway into December.

November 26th - Electional chart (if you must...!)

Between the Mars-Pluto opposition at the beginning of the month and Mercury retrograde at the end, so it's a difficult month to do things. But if you have to while Mercury is stationing, Chris recommends the 26th around 9AM. Having Capricorn rising in your location means the Ascendant ruler Saturn is in the 3rd house in a day chart with a sextile from Venus (17♑) as well as a square from Jupiter (17♊). The Moon is in Libra in the 10th house, applying to a square to Venus with reception (Moon is in Venus's sign) and applying to a trine with Jupiter. Thus, even though Mercury is stationing, the Moon is in good condition and you can get a halfway decent rising sign. It's also about as far away as we can get from the Mars-Pluto opposition. The downside is that with Mercury static you'll probably have to do revisions or run into delays with what you're starting, so keep in mind that you'll have to redo things. (It's still better than having to work with the Moon squaring Mars a few days later.)

2024 Election Analysis

Saturn and Mercury are in retrograde and Saturn is currently squaring the planet Mars, which moved into Leo just a day before the election. This energy is both aggressive and destructive, and it brings forth a sense of karmic influence.

Transiting Kamala’s 10th house, Saturn symbolizes karma, while the 10th house is associated with public image and career. Meanwhile, Neptune, also transiting her 10th house, represents illusions and deception. I would think that these astrological influences created barriers for her public image and career trajectory. While there are many other factors in both Kamala and Trump’s charts that explain his victory, it appears that, at an energetic level, this outcome was supposed to unfold.

November 6th 2024: The middle of the fall

Today, the Sun has reached 15 degrees of Scorpio.

It's the last harvest of the year. Invite the darkness.
