Sagittarius Full Moon on May 23, 2024: What It Means

Most say that this Sagittarius Full Moon is a time of adventure, exploration, and broadening horizons. With the blessings of Jupiter it brings an energy of enthusiasm and a desire for freedom, encouraging us to seek new experiences, knowledge, and spiritual growth. This time emphasizes truth, optimism, and an expansive view of life. As a Sagittarius Sun and Rising, this energy honestly feels natural to me.

week of january 7th, 2024

these are written predominantly for the *rising* signs but they are also intuitively "channeled" enough that they should work for any dominant energy you have! (try your sun if you don't know rising, or more advanced readers can try moon, anywhere you have a stellium, etc and see what works best for you!)

aries: it is a great week to be you. but it may not feel like it. the reason is that the sun is squaring the nodes and that's a lot of clashing cardinal energy, like maybe you have ten million things to do at once. but really - mars is doing so much good stuff behind the scenes. trust the process.

taurus: the aspects this week are invigorating and strengthening. your sign is known for kind of languishing in relaxation and it's actually good for you nearly always but this week? please go outside, please get up and accomplish things. it is so auspicious for you to be in movement and flow right now. crash on the weekend if you must.

gemini: you may feel quite antsy about staying at home, like you can't bear to see your own walls a moment longer. alternatively, or even simultaneously, there may be a feeling that you can't handle the public eye. maybe it helps to go wander around in disguise, or at least with big giant sunglasses and a floppy hat on.

cancerians: the new moon in capricorn is fresh relationship vibes. a new romance, a breakup, an engagement are all possibilities. no, probably not all at once. set an intention around how you want your commitments to actually look in real life, regardless of what happens to you at this time.

leo: this time of year can be hard for solar creatures like you, especially north of the equator. but this week is bookended by two lunar ingresses that are quite supportive to you, especially if you are out there looking for love. create something new. it can be just for yourself. it should probably involve glitter.

virgo: you have a lot of supportive astrology all week in taurus and capricorn. go out of your way to create, learn, and grow. granted, commitment is not really your thing right now. dabble and have fun and if you need to shed a few things, people, or situations, do so.

libra: even though lots of great things are likely to happen this week, the quality of the period can be quite frazzling to your typically very delicate constitution. watch for omens but make what changes you can if you don't like what you see. you don't have to resign yourself to a bad lot.

scorpio: this is a great week for your relationships. ALL kinds of relationships. it's okay, and indeed quite good, to nurture romantic ones! but do NOT forget all the manifold other ways to love. go out of your way to spread love in your community locally, online, to children, to animals, to the vulnerable, to your friends, to your family... what else can you think of?

sagittarius: be cautious with mercury-things, yes even though it's direct now, because it is right at the end of your sign preparing to move. it's still in the shadow zone, and especially at the so-called critical degrees it can feel like you just went back in time a week or two for a moment. probably not in a good way. just be careful.

capricorn: you're in a good, steady, stable place and picking up momentum. mercury re-enters your sign and mars gives you a major boost. you're getting things done and probably not feeling too depleted by the effort. one caveat; mercury is still retracing its retrograde path, so you're not done with the themes of the last few weeks yet, you're just wrapping them up. probably in really nice littel satin bows.

aquarius: beneath all the jolly jupiter vibes lies the constant hum of electric current due to your ruling planet uranus. rebellions in the name of justice do well at this time, but on a smaller scale too you might want to revolutionize your own life.

pisces: expect a little agitation early in the week. but keep in mind that agitation can serve as a boost to improve things. so it's not a time to be lazy, but it is a time to scry for omens, at least figuratively. scry and then act.

A solar return chart is a chart that literally describes your year from your birthday of a year until the day before next year. For example, Jungkook's 2023-2024 Solar Return will starts on September 1st 2023 until August 31th 2024. It describes the year for you, what will mostly happens. It said as a solar return chart because your sun returns in its home sign (your natal sun).

-> This post will be featuring a dear anon, we talked a lot about this, I will be talking about his solar Return Chart and I will add what she told me as her opinion of it. Hope you enjoy!

✌️ anon's predictions

‧₊˚✩彡 So a spoiler: He'll be doing a shit ton of shadow work and healing in 23-24 and you'll know why.

‧₊˚✩彡 Also even though there IS a 5H stelium I don't think any relationship would occur because homeboi will be focused on himself AND himself only.

‧₊˚✩彡 So he has Jupiter, Uranus, North Node and Chiron in 12h.

‧₊˚✩彡 Chiron at 19 degrees in Aries: He'll stop people pleasing, wanting to be who HE is, would show individuality, start confronting, healing his inner child, stepping into his power, becoming independent, creating boundaries for himself and others. Self love will be a big theme too as it's in Libra degree.

‧₊˚✩彡 Its ruler is Mars in libra at 3 degrees in 5h: Again healing his inner child and falling in love with himself, accepting himself, etc.

‧₊˚✩彡 North Node in Aries at 25 degree: Becoming a leader, creating his own path, being himself, focusing on himself, wanting freedom, becoming self reliant. It's at an Aries degree so it intensifies these themes.

‧₊˚✩彡 Its ruler in 5h Mars in libra at 3 degree: Again about self love, innerchild healing, wanting creative freedom, re-evaluating shit from school years. (The reason for me talking about self love and not relationships is because we have Aries here and Aries are very much about me, myself and I. He moves on VERY FAST from relationships so he doesn't have any baggage about it)

‧₊˚✩彡 There is a conjunction in Jupiter, Uranus and Ascendant too!

‧₊˚✩彡 Jupiter in Taurus at 15 degrees: extreme luck, business tactics and GROUNDING in money matters because he NEEDS it. It's at a Gemini degree and you know what it is.

‧₊˚✩彡 Its ruler in 4h in Leo at 12 degrees: He'll learn the value of family and homeland. He'll be admired in his homeland(overseas too because its in Pisces degree and it is about foreign affairs as well)

‧₊˚✩彡 Uranus in Taurus at 23 degrees: His views on money and possessions will change, he'll learn to be independent in those cases too. It's at an Aquarius degree so it could also be that he'd join people for business purposes(which he already did by collabing).

‧₊˚✩彡 The Uranus and Jupiter conjunction tells me about him learning to be smart (he applied for trademark on his logo <being smart and not letting others take advantage of him anymore> {very much Aries} and being successful in doing it) in business and money game, also needing independence.

‧₊˚✩彡 Uranus conjuncting Asc: He'll also "upset" those that admired him by being rebellious and not playing by their rules. ☆Jupiter conjunct Asc: Personal growth, beneficial relationships and HUGE luck in material/money matters.

‧₊˚✩彡 Now the 5h because it's the most aspected house with 12h. He has sun, mercury and mars in 5h.

‧₊˚✩彡 Sun in virgo at 8 degrees in 5h conjunct Mercury at 18 degrees: Identifying his innerchild by focusing on it, changing his views on love and relationships. Waking his delulu self up and realizing what actual love is and also realizing that he really hasn't been in love because of his delulu expectations (but he'll know that it exists when he meets his wife)

‧₊˚✩彡 Mars in libra at 3 degrees: It has been aspected to Aries so its more about "me" again so self love but also realizing that his intense thoughts about love and relationships are very delulu since the time he started dating (again would also realize that no relationship was actual love and they were just delusions too).

‧₊˚✩彡 It's ruler Venus in Leo at 12 degrees in 4h: He'll be loved/admired/adored in his family/homeland (overseas too) and gain more fame too. I see him starting to invest more in lands,etc. Due to Uranus and Jupiter's ruler being in 4h too and he'll be lucky in it!!!

‧₊˚✩彡 Capricorn Pluto in 9h at 28 degrees: So what I've noticed is that half of the things this year will be focused on his homeland/family. He'll reform/change his beliefs/views on life,spirituality,etc. That will be different and foreign to his homeland/family. Its ruler Saturn in Pisces at 3 degrees in 10h: He'll start diving deeper into spirituality. His views on career will change,after this year he may spiritually start making decisions in his career.

‧₊˚✩彡 Moon in Pisces at 29 degree: He'll be highly sensitive and emotional,it will be a completion of his spiritual lessons. Will imagine and think more about his wife,fall in love more deeply with her. Would also make emotional connections with big communities. Its ruler is in the same house so it's gonna double up.

‧₊˚✩彡 Neptune in Pisces in 11h at 26 degrees: Will open himself to learning more about spirituality and focus on his future become more dreamy and imaginative. Would also think about stepping up the future business game. Sort people from his circle that don't have a good influence on him.

‧₊˚✩彡 Moon and Neptune conjunction: Will have vivid dreams and exciting imaginations about his wife(i could've talked about other things but its Pisces we're talking about so its romance for sure and I'm certain about it being his wife because we have late Taurus degree in Neptune and late Leo degree moon, these both tell us that its his endgame we're talking about). Will imagine his life with his future wife too!! (That's cute)

Summary: He'll be getting big fat bags, will be himself and say fuck you to those that don't want him to be that way, be independent, big on self love and healing, being creative/imaginative about his future (especially his wife) have vivid dreams, transform his views, dive deep into spirituality and be open to learning it. It's a shadow work and self love/embracing, new views on money and beliefs, healing his self created wounds, being independent, becoming more spiritual and falling in love more with his future wife.

Uyu's Predictions

‧₊˚✩彡 Scorpio DSC: To me it's a year of being single, it's not a year of being in a relationship, it gives me the hermit kind if vibe. 7H is empty meaning nothing serious is over there this year.

‧₊˚✩彡 Sun in 5H conjunct Mercury: Focused on this year is creativity, fame, being under the light for our ideas, conducting mercury (voice) so focused on singing and singer ideas. His album went out after his birthday so I'm not shocked it happened during this solar return. Sun in 5H could make him dating or enjoying flings, flirting, but not searching for a serious relationship.

‧₊˚✩彡 Mars 5H Libra 3°: Mars shows one's drive and ambition during that year. In 5H it means all ambition are focused on creative ideas, he will have many ideas for this year and it's all about art and so his career. The 3° (gemini) means to me the ideas are really focused on his voice, and so singing. So technically the focused this year is his career.

‧₊˚✩彡 MC Aquarius: Career is more important and focused on social medias, and in foreign lands. This also shows because how much JK has been present on social medias already? He ain't stopping. 5° (Leo)= creativity, art, etc.

‧₊˚✩彡 Venus Leo 4H 12°: Def more focused on family life. There could be a changment in his home life, how he feels loved and secured. 12° is pisces and there could be some hidden stuff coming out, and it may change a lot.

‧₊˚✩彡 Taurus Rising: Rising means how you appear this year. Jk will appear as very stable, harmonious and expensive person. A bit secretive or just looking cold or introvert, but more like shy and distant, looks like he enjoys to be on his own, and he enjoys his sh*t basically. Uranus conjuncts the rising meaning he may look different or just unique this year. He could look very weird or just people don't recognize him in a way. He may change suddenly? (could be bald hair for military lol)

‧₊˚✩彡 Capricorn over 9H: Traveling and foreign land are part of his job much

‧₊˚✩彡 Saturn in 10H: Limitied in career, mostly I think caused by military service that is happening quite quick and early in this solar return chart

‧₊˚✩彡 Moon conjunct Neptune in 11H: People will have delusions about him this year, mostly on social medias. It could be people creating rumors about him, or just gossips. Or it could be people building a fantasy about him on social medias. There is for sure an illusions that people create about him on social medias. And hear me out on this one, you will understand after why I said that. I said in my BTS Tarot Reading about military that people expect JK to have the time of his life during military while he will not enjoy it so much in reality (based on cards), and it actually make sense to me in this src. The illusions people create about him could be related to that, people expecting him to haver a good time and actually ignoring the reality about him. It conjuncts moon, his emotions, which means people will not see it or notice the reality of him. It's also in Pisces, that represents the hidden things. Like bro, everything is connected. Why do I think it's related to military? Keep reading....

‧₊˚✩彡 Aries 12H: So 12H is all about the spiritual stuff and hidden things, like the hidden worlds, etc. If we focused on this part, and remember what Aries is about, you can then remember that sign is about anything that involves physical body, the war and so military. Fighting too. In the 12H it means it's part of the spiritual world, but such a sign in it would make me feel like it's more a shadow work, because it's about fighting. So this military service was just right there, in that year.

‧₊˚✩彡 Aries Chiron conjunct Aries North Node in 12H: Chiron is about traumas and the wounds, whatever it is and where it is, it is never pleasant to experience. Man this is literally in Aries in the 12H. Do you still think he will enjoy it????? Yep. Literally to me it means that he will not like military and will mostly see it as a painful experience than anything. It's also in libra degree which means it's also unbalanced time for him. There are no harmony and he hates that. He will experience such a shadow work to do, for real. But, don't worry too much for two different reasons. The first reason is that it conjuncts North Node, which represents your purpose this year, and it's also in Aries 12H with an Aries degree. THIS was his destiny this year, okay? He needs to go to military, because it's his Korean duty but also for shadow works. Shadow works are supposed to make you work on yourself, and any triggers you have or red flag (in a sense) for you to grow up (in a sense). So he needs to go through it.

‧₊˚✩彡 Jupiter in 12H: This is the second reason you don't need to worry. Jupiter shows where you will be more lucky in/at. It's also in the 12H, now not conjucting Chiron and NN, but in the same house. So despite the rough year spiritually, we know it has to happen. But it will also bring him a lot of luck and abundance afterwards. And here's the thing about shadow works: it's literally "blue sky after the storm". Or the rainbow after the storm, I don't remember. But you see what I mean, it's literally realizing how lucky you are and how the universe blessed you to go through a shadow work. He will realize how lucky and bless he is that it happened, and how much he grew spiritually. He will grow spiritually for sure.

Thank you for reading! Requests are open but make sure to read the rules first!

The Week Ahead: August 26 - September 1, 2024

We’re in a waning Moon this week. This is not a good time to start anything, but it’s very supportive if you want to stop doing something. (Quitting a bad habit, for example.) While the Moon is in Cancer, it’s a good time to prune things that you want to grow back slowly (like a high-maintenance hairdo?); when it’s in Gemini and Leo, it’s a good time to weed (or get rid of unwanted body hair).

Lunar Phases

Monday, August 26, 09:26 UT - Last Quarter Moon, 3°38’ Gemini

The key phrases for the Last Quarter lunar phase are “turn away,” and “tear down old structures that no longer serve us well.” One way to determine what to do, is to look at what we have lost interest in. What bores us? What do we have a hard time focusing on? What are we using as a distraction? We’re probably mentally sluggish (Mercury rules Gemini, and is stationary), so we���ll be patient trying to sort through our thoughts.

Friday, August 30, 02:17 UT - Balsamic Moon, 22°12’ Cancer

The key phrases for the Balsamic lunar phase are “let go of the past,” and “envision the future.” This is a holiday weekend in the US, and if you have the extra time off, take the opportunity to nurture yourself. Even if you have to work*, you can still make sure you eat comfort food, hydrate, and rest.

* Ms M remembers long ago, when everybody had Labor Day off. We’d all remind ourselves to fill up our cars beforehand, as the gas stations wouldn’t be open on Labor Day. Sigh.

Void of Course Moon

Monday, August 26, 01:40 UT (Taurus) - 03:04 UT (Gemini)

Wednesday, August 28, 07:14 UT (Gemini) - 08:47 UT (Cancer)

Friday, August 30, 15:24 UT (Cancer) - 17:09 UT (Leo)

Monday, September 2, 00:25 UT (Leo) - 03:48 UT (Virgo)

Retrograde/Direct/Etc.

Pre-retrograde shadow: Jupiter/Gemini

Retrograde: Mercury/Leo (until Wednesday the 28th), Ceres/Capricorn (until Monday the 26th), Saturn/Pisces, Chiron/Aries, Uranus/Taurus (starting Sunday the 1st), Neptune/Pisces, Pluto/Aquarius-Capricorn, Eris/Aries

Post-retrograde shadow: Mercury/Leo (starting Wednesday the 28th), Ceres/Capricorn (starting Monday the 26th), Pallas/Scorpio

Transiting Ceres stations direct on Monday, August 26, 07:38 UT, at 7°29’ Capricorn. As she re-retraces her steps in this sign, between now and November 11, we can implement structured plans, with more of an eye on the longer-term. October 10-17 should be an especially productive time.

Transiting Mercury stations direct on Wednesday, August 28, 21:14 UT, at 21°24’ Leo. We aren’t out of the “Storm” until September 3, though, so continue to be cautious!

Transiting Uranus stations retrograde on Sunday, September 1, 15:18 UT, at 27°15’ Taurus. Those parts of our lives that feel stuck in a rut (even if it’s a comfortable rut), are “encouraged” to change, Uranus-style. Look for sudden surprises and disruptions. Uranus stations direct on January 30, 2025, at 23°15’ Taurus.

Ingresses

Thursday, August 29, 13:23 UT - transiting Venus enters Libra

Lasting until Sept. 23, we need to work hard on being more Eleanor Roosevelt and less Lady MacBeth. We want connection, and we need to be honest and reciprocal about acquiring it.

Monday, September 2, 00:10 UT - transiting Pluto retrogrades into Capricorn

One final visit, until November 19. A final chance to work on choosing integrity and responsibility - as opposed to being a status-driven control freak.

Et Cetera

There is one Opportunity Period this week: Wednesday, August 28, 08:47 UT - Friday, August 30, 17:09 UT. “Very good opportunity to implement changes and return to projects that were stuck during Mercury’s retrograde period.” (The next OP happens on Monday, September 9, so if you work with these be prepared!)

Format change - due to health concerns, this week I’m going to cut back on writing posts. Hence I went into more detail with this forecast! After this week, I will probably continue with a “beefed up” weekly and limit other posts to lunar phases.

Random observations: (Gemini-coded) celebrity edition part 3

💫 WILL SMITH RETURNS???

Well apparently Will Smith somehow made a comeback and somehow everyone's fine with him all of a sudden? Would be surprised but astrology backs that up.

Will is a Gemini rising. What planet just ingressed into Gemini? Jupiter. We all know that Jupiter, aside from bringing luck and sometimes fame, is the most forgiving and permissive planet out of all of them. It entered his first house of the self and suddenly he's the cool guy again that everyone likes. It does help that his Sun is in the first degrees of Libra so Jupiter is also trining it.

When I was discussing the Oscar slap gate, I was mentioning how he's going through a progressed New Moon, which will make him go into hiding for a bit or be "banished" somehow. Well the New Moon has passed (although it's still relatively close to the Sun) but the progressed luminary is at least not in Scorpio anymore.

Transiting Saturn is still in his 10th house though and when it leaves Pisces, his Saturn return will start so we'll see how that will go for him.

💫 TRUMP GETS CONVICTED AND ALMOST KILLED

There's a lot to talk about the most obnoxious Gemini to exist but today we'll focus on the latest events.

Trump got convicted for felony when Mercury and Uranus conjoined in Taurus right on his MC. Saturn was also t-squaring both of his luminaries at that time (and will t-square them again when retrograde). It's very fitting as Saturn digs up events from the past, judges them and brings potential restrictions. He's also in a Saturn-ruled profection year aaaand… his natal Saturn is in the 12th house - the house of secrets, fiddles and all forms of jails.

And again, Jupiter, which is transiting the sign of his Sun is too forgiving as his court sentencing has been postponed to September (Mars will be transiting his 12th house at that time so we'll see who's going to have the upper hand here - Jupiter or Mars).

UPDATE SINCE I WROTE THE DRAFT FOR THIS POST A FEW DAYS AGO: As it turns out, Trump's MC gets another hit in a form of a Mars-Uranus-Algol conjunction. Quite literally. The assasination attemp happened just one day before the nasty conjunction and was extremely close to sensitive points in his chart. His MC is at 24° Taurus, his natal Mars is at 26° Leo (that's a square) and his ascendant at 29° Leo. On the day of the rally shooting Mars was at 25° of Taurus - barely moving away from his MC and applying with a square to his natal Mars. Uranus sits at 26° as well.

Just as a reminder: Mars rules violence, sharp objects, war, hatred and accidents while Uranus is explosive, sudden and destructive. That's enough to cause shootings and assasinations but add the fixed star Algol to the mix, which signifies violence and… beheadings, we get an extreme version of the above (and unfortunately someone did die from a shot in the head).

💫 THE ACOLYTE = VENUS CAZIMI IN GEMINI (potential Acolyte episode 1 spoilers?)

This one is my favourite. I was watching the first episode of Star Wars Acolyte and something hit me: the show came out on a Venus cazimi in Gemini and the main protagonist is a twin (!) whose supposedly dead sister emerges from hiding and turns to the dark side. It's a show about twin (Gemini) girls (Venus)! And it shows the geminian polarities: in this case of good and evil. The re-emergence is also symbolized by Venus cazimi as after the conjunction, it starts coming out of the Sun's shadow and can be seen on the sky again.

But that's not all. The twins were separated at the age of 8 and the events of the show take place 16 years later. 8 is a Venus synodic cycle, 16 is, well, two synodic cycles.

You want more? Okay, the actress playing the main protagonist and her twin, Amandla Stenberg, was born just a few days before Venus cazimi in Scorpio.

💫 MARGOT ROBBIE EXPECTING A BBY

I've just read that Margot is pregnant! It's always interesting to me what transits accompany pregnancy (spoilers: it's often Jupiter).

Margot just entered her 11th house profection year, ruled by Venus. Her natal Venus is in the first decan of Gemini and the news broke around the time when Jupiter was right on top of it. I've been mentioning Jupiter quite a lot today in terms of luck and forgiveness but let's not forget that the great benefic also grows things as it signifies fertility. And Venus is one of the significators of womanhood.

The 12th house transit is not surprising either as some themes of the house do match carrying a child: the psychology behind it, sometimes having to draw back from the world in one way or another or just changing habits; being in labour is very much a 12th house thing as well.

💫 MESSI DOWN DURING A MATCH

We're changing areas to talk about… football (I know, shocking).

Lionel Messi just suffered a major injury during the Copa America final. Messi is a Cancer Sun and he just entered his 2nd house profection year in Pisces. As we know, Pisces is currently occupied by Saturn at 19° and is squaring his Gemini Moon exact (0°11’ orb on the day of the accident). Traditionally Moon is associated with body but in his case it's even more pronounced as it rules his 6th house of injury. It's important to add that with Sun, Mercury retrograde and Mars natally in the 6th house any damages to the body are very likely in general.

Transiting Saturn is also applying with a 3° square to his natal Saturn (his ascendant ruler) in the 11th house - this is not only a pivotal moment in his life but also in the sphere of his career as a teammate (11th house). Hopefully the recovery will be quick!

Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius (May 2nd – October 11th):

This powerhouse planet of transformation begins its backward journey in the sign of innovation, Aquarius. Buckle up for a period of introspection regarding business structures, leadership styles, and long-term financial goals. Expect to scrutinize your current structures, leadership approach, and long-term financial plans. It's a time to unearth what's truly working and what needs a complete overhaul to propel your business towards a future built on a solid foundation.

Impact: Expect to revisit past investments, re-evaluate partnerships, and confront any outdated practices holding your business back. This introspective period sparked by Pluto retrograde can feel like unearthing buried treasure – but also facing skeletons in the closet. Expect to revisit past investments, both successful and those that fell short, to glean valuable insights. Re-evaluate partnerships, considering if they still align with your company's goals and vision. Most importantly, get ready to confront any outdated practices that have become comfortable clogs in the wheels of progress. This is a prime opportunity to shed what no longer serves you and embrace innovative approaches that will propel your business forward.

Action: It's a prime time for strategic planning. Analyze your financial foundation, identify areas for improvement, and consider innovative approaches to revenue generation. Don't let the introspection get you stuck in analysis paralysis! This Pluto retrograde is a golden opportunity for strategic planning. With a critical eye, analyze your current financial foundation – what's working well, and where are the vulnerabilities? Identify areas ripe for improvement, and don't be afraid to get creative. This transit encourages out-of-the-box thinking, so brainstorm innovative approaches to generate revenue and future-proof your business.

Moon in Aquarius Square Jupiter in Taurus:

A clash of titans! The visionary Moon in Aquarius squares the abundant Jupiter in Taurus. This creates a tension between progressive ideas and established systems. This creates a tense atmosphere, where bold ventures clash with the need for security. Expect unexpected financial news or sudden market fluctuations, highlighting the friction between shaking things up and holding onto what's comfortable.

Impact: Expect unexpected financial news or sudden market fluctuations. There might be a clash between bold ventures and the need for security. It's a clash of titans – entrepreneurial spirits itching for bold ventures might face a reality check from the need for security. This can lead to internal conflicts within businesses, with some pushing for innovation while others prioritize stability.

Action: Be cautious with impulsive investments. Research thoroughly before committing, and prioritize stability over risky ventures during this brief window. Before committing any resources, prioritize thorough research and analysis. This is not the time to be a risk-taker – focus on shoring up your financial foundation and prioritizing stability over flashy ventures. This brief window will pass, and then you can revisit those out-of-the-box ideas with a clearer head.

Moon Enters Pisces:

The Moon's shift into dreamy Pisces can cloud financial judgment. Intuition can be high, but logic might take a backseat. It's best to postpone major financial decisions or negotiations until the fog clears and logic returns to the driver's seat.

Impact: Avoid emotionally charged financial decisions. Postpone major purchases or negotiations until emotions settle. Hit the pause button on major purchases or negotiations. Wait for the fog to clear and logic to return before committing any significant resources – your future self will thank you.

Action: Focus on creative brainstorming and fostering empathy within your team. This transit favors artistic endeavors and exploring non-traditional revenue streams. Gather your team and tap into that heightened intuition – this is a prime time to generate innovative ideas for new products, services, or marketing campaigns. The Piscean energy also fosters empathy, so use this opportunity to connect with your team on a deeper level and understand their perspectives. This could spark collaborations that open doors to unexplored revenue streams, helping your business flourish in unexpected ways.

Remember: Astrology empowers informed decision-making, not guarantees. Use these insights to navigate the coming weeks with awareness and strategic planning. By understanding the cosmic currents, you can position your business for success!

Bonus Tip: For a deeper analysis, consider how these transits interact with your company's natal chart, revealing areas most likely to be impacted.

Astrology of March, 2023

Are you ready for the great transition? This upcoming month of March is presenting the momentous time for not only personal development and progress, but collective as well. With multiple planets finally exiting positions that they've been stationed in for years, particularly Saturn, who's been in a position of dignity since 2017, and Pluto who's been in Capricorn for 15 years and will finally ingress Aquarius where he will stay for 20. Have hope these big changes are bringing in goodness.

This period is marked with incredible changes that are going to be infrastructural and revolutionary. With the dwarf planet Ceres in retrograde motion and re-entering her dignity of Virgo this month, we can expect even more environmental catastrophe and upset globally as the fight for our earth intensifies in the month of March.

Re-shifting focus back to the planet of Saturn, on March 7th we have Saturn finally exiting Aquarius and entering ethereal, nebulus and profound Pisces. We're going to be seeing a dramatic shift in collective relationships to religion, escapism and fantasy. All of the people who had gotten into new age spirituality over the course of Saturn in Aqua are going to be leaving it behind to revolutionize the vestiges of traditional conventional religions. There's definitely going to be greater moral dilemmas, restriction of power and trials also surrounding religious institutions during this time. Our seas, oceans and lakes are going to become a focus for us during this period as Pisces forces us to reckon with the damage you've done to our waters. We may see an end to offshore drilling during this time. Themes of isolation are still present here however they are turned inward, we are no longer going to be allowed to escape into ourselves and our vices during this time.

With Venus and Juno entering Taurus mid March we can expect an even more dreamy, romantic and enchanted feeling to our month as we shift our focus towards money, our values and how business affects our morality. There's going to be a great focus on art, a revival of fashion, aesthetics and beauty in the mainstream especially with Jupiter joining Taurus this April, but I digress.

Mars has been in Gemini since August 20th of 2022 and will finally be exiting giving us a rest from that mental exertion anxiety and disquiet. He will be entering his fall, Cancer, heightening feelings of emotionality, the need for safety, national pride and family. Almost immediately he will be in a trinw with Saturn in Pisces showing a period of rebuilding and restructuring centered around home, spirituality and family. This is actually a very productive time and it builds us up to Pluto entering Aquarius which will be ushering in revolutions on a large scale, innovation and relief from hierarchical chains.

March Major transits:

2nd- Mercury in Pisces (detriment)

7th- Saturn in Pisces

12th- Juno in Taurus

16th- Venus in Taurus (dignified)

20th- sun in Aries (exalted)

23rd- pluto in aquarius

25th- mars in cancer(fall)

This Week's Astrology: Aug. 26, 2024

Have you HEARD the news? My debut novel, Jupiter Returns, is launching for pre-sale! Keep an eye on your inbox for sneak peeks, launch events, and more fun stuff. I hope you’ll join me in celebrating this long-awaited release. Anyway, onto the astrology!

     This week’s astrology is a primer for the month of September. Which, is just around the corner—and, while I’m on the subject, September is PACKED with astrology (including, but not limited to: eclipse season 😬). But it seems like this final week of August is helping to make the transition with ease. That’s not to say September is an easygoing, free-flowing month per se, but it certainly doesn’t look as chaotic as August was.  

     If you’re like me—i.e.: a mutable Sun / Moon, with a Fixed Rising sign—August was tough, maybe even the toughest month of 2024 so far. Even though Friday was “victorious”1, the days and weeks prior were less so. There was a LOT of tension, frustration, deceleration, and stress. I felt stuck, unmotivated, tired, exasperated, and like I (kinda) knew where I wanted to go, but wasn’t able to gain traction or momentum on anything; nor did I feel particularly confident in anything. Such is the case with square aspects in astrology. Me, pretty much all of August.

     These pesky aspects provoke, antagonize, block, annoy, and stifle you all at once. They can feel as thwarting and tiring as they feel aggravating, like life has crammed you into a garlic press and is squeezing with all its might to mince you. But at the same time, squares can also help you; because it’s in those times of frustration, forestalling, and feeling crushed that you can gain clarity on what you really want. Even if you don’t move forward with it right away, even if you aren’t 100% gung-ho about your desire, you know it. And knowing is half the battle. 

     Last week, we had not one, but four of those squares in the sky. And Mercury retrograde. And a full moon. So, it was an exceptionally charged week. Maybe, like me, you felt heavy, weighed down by all the things you want to do, but weren’t 100% certain any of them mattered; so you couldn’t decide what to move forward with. (That’s what mutable sign squares feel like, btw. Equal parts indecisiveness, derailment, and discouragement. I would know: my Sun and Moon are square in mutable signs 😬.) But in this final week of August, you get a much-needed reprieve—and maybe even some sweetness.

     This is a week to move forward—with both the project / goal(s) that had you stumped these last two weeks, and with fresh projects, fresh ideas. It’s a week that encourages indulgence, dabbling in creative activities, daydreaming, and/or reveling in some beauty. Tuesday fosters fresh energy, innovation, and giving/receiving a pleasant surprise. On Wednesday, there might be a little emotional fog, but Mercury stations direct, bringing confidence in communication and forward movement. Thursday has artistic, romantic, and maybe even justice-driven vibes, with a chance for powerful connections. 

     As the week winds down, September opens with two important retrograde movements involving outer planets Uranus & Pluto. Though outer planet retrogrades are totally normal (as many of those planets are retrograde half the year), they still pull focus. They still mean something. And they also set the tone for the rest of September, which, as I mentioned, is LOADED with astrology. Anyway, that’s the gist of this week. Here’s the actual astrology:

August 27th: Venus in Virgo trine Uranus in Taurus, 27°

August 28th: Venus in Virgo opposes Retrograde Neptune in Pisces, 29° 

August 28th: Mercury stations direct in Leo, 21° 

August 29th: Venus enters Libra

August 29th: Venus in Libra trines Retrograde Pluto in Aquarius, 0°

September 1st: Uranus stations retrograde in Taurus, 27°

September 1st: Retrograde Pluto re-enters Capricorn, 29° 

Read the FULL forecast for this week's astrology on The Cosmic Almanac:

[alohaastro]

New Moon in Leo, Sunday, August 4th, ushers in a quest for meaning, and a time of revisiting old stories, myths, and beliefs, when you initiate a creative life scripting process which will probably have some plot twists, character changes, and require some editing, as the New Moon in a fixed fire sign associated with the 5th house of romance, dating, creativity, hobbies, children, competition, recreation, and luck, forms a sextile aspect with Mars conjunct Jupiter in Gemini, as well as a sesquisquare aspect with Neptune retrograde in Pisces conjunct the North Node in Aries, just a day before Mercury in Virgo turns retrograde, re-entering Leo on August 14th. Supernatural, fantastical, Divinely orchestrated, or strange - and practically unbelievable - encounters or events could take place due to Neptune and the North Node participating in a Yod aspect pattern which involves Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, and Venus at the final degree of Leo conjunct Mercury in Virgo, while Mercury/Venus square Uranus in Taurus, and Mars/Jupiter. Saturn retrograde in Pisces square to Mars and Jupiter in Gemini can trigger caution or judgement when you meet with people, places, or ideas which are foreign to you, and Chiron in Aries square to Pluto in Aquarius could make you fear rejection or failure if you move out of a comfort zone, BUT Chiron trine to Venus/Mercury is telling you that pioneering energy and bold moves are necessary and logical. A Minor Grand Trine aspect pattern of Neptune and the North Node, Pluto, Uranus, Mars, and Jupiter suggests that you take what you can from the old and apply it toward the creation of something new. Imagination and creativity are directed toward change, growth, and transformation, but leave room for spirituality and the unseen forces of nature and the cosmos to play their part in whatever you wish to create at this New Moon.

Jupiter revisits Gemini - May 25th, 2024 until June 10th, 2025!

TLDR; Tricksters & energy vamps, dissonant contraction or harmonic expansion, Ceres, Taurus, Gemini, Mercury, 2011-2013, get journaling.

See if you notice repeating themes from the last time(s) this happened [recent Jupiter dates at end, for those of us who journal].

Taurus Jupiter has had us appreciating what we already have, yet we also had the tendency to dig in our heels at the idea that we could change things for the better during stressful situations. Ruled by Ceres, Taurus takes on Ceres traits within whichever house She’s in: adaptation and survival of humanity, all familial relationships, nurturing professions, agriculture & animal care. Those with Taurus or Jupiter chart prominent will have experienced specific changes in any of those areas during Jupiter in Taurus periods.

This is a good opportunity to review these life themes:

Experiences of luck, vs lack; synchronicity vs. perceived failure.

Gemini placement(s) or an “empty” house; patterns related to thoughts which lead to communications, short term travel, siblings, neighborhood(s), early education, overall life mindset.

Where are we going?

Optimistic growth through goal-definition & attitude of gratitude, manifested through the proper actions…

or…

…string of calamities or perceived calamities, wherein we have used our powers of communications and short term forms of travel such as seership abilities, to behave with lack of morality or indiscretion? Mercury, when not worked with consciously, has people building and maintaining energetic vampirism between groups of people, in tangled patterns of co-dependency.

The key is to examine the situation; is this dependency healthy, or toxic? Is it sustainable, or unsustainable? We must figure these things out, and practice clear communication with one another as we do so. Allow each person in a group dispute the time and consideration for full expression.

Important to remember: Geminis ruling planet is Mercury, and Mercury is known for good reason as the trickster & thief God. We can re-channel Geminis mental adventurousness in a properly productive direction, when we realize that we are actually thieving, or enabling thieving of our own life-forces, by staying in toss situations.

Are we tricking ourselves, and also being unfair to others in some way?

Can we find ways out of this destructive pattern, and into building new patterns, which can bring into our lives harmonic, and no longer dissonant expansion?

Those who don’t put in the time and effort on this, will expand in dissonance, while contracting their abilities to manifest harmonic luck.

Energy Update: June 2023

June is a "4" Universal Month [6 (June) + 7 (2023) = 13 = 1+3 = 4] in a "7" Universal Year. The number 4 is considered stable or stabilizing and months that carry 4 energy are much the same. Where in your life do you need to slow down to make sure the pieces are fitting right? We are coming out of a rough two months that involved two intense eclipses that overlapped with Mercury's second retrograde of the year. Things got stirred up. June is the month to let the dust settle and get back to it, whatever "it" is for you.

The Set Up

We begin the month of June with the Sun in Gemini, Mercury playing catch-up in Taurus, Venus in Cancer, Mars in Leo, Jupiter Uranus and the North Node in Taurus, Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, and retrograde Pluto in Aquarius. By month's end, the Sun will have entered Cancer, Mercury will have moved through Gemini and on to Cancer to join the Sun, Venus will have entered Leo, and retrograded Pluto will have re-entered Capricorn from the back-end. Additionally, Saturn and Neptune will station retrograde this month, and Venus will enter her pre-retrograde shadow period. That's a lot of change for a month where we are supposed to pick up the pieces, but it's where we are. All we can do is live in it.

The Nitty Gritty

We come into June under the energy of the waxing moon that will peak on 6/3 or 6/4 depending on your timezone. The full moon in Sagittarius is traditionally a time for excitement and newness, as is represented by Sagittarius's ruler, Jupiter. This year will be no exception as this will be further augmented by Venus in Cancer's watery trine with Neptune in Pisces (a sweet aspect of togetherness on 6/2) and Mercury's annual conjunct with Uranus at 20° Taurus on 6/4. This is a great time to start a new project - especially one that is creative in nature (Venus) or some sort of higher learning (Sag). If you don't know where or what to start, this is a great time to ask Mercury and Uranus for inspiration. Mercury and Uranus have a close relationship with one another and can be seen to be two sides of the same coin - Mercury awakens in the human realm, and Uranus is the awakening of the beyond.

On 6/5, Venus enters our fixed fire sign Leo where she will remain for the next three months. This is an exceptionally long time as she normally moves through a sign in two to three weeks. We are gearing up for another Venus retrograde. Venus last retrograded at the beginning of 2021 in the sign of Capricorn so we may see some of the same themes start to arise from June-October that we experienced them. Because Venus is one of the personal planets, her retrogrades are always felt deeply both by the collective and in our individual lives.

Interestingly, Venus in Leo immediately meets up in opposition with Pluto in Aquarius who has already entered their retrograde cycle. When Venus last went retrograde, she did so in direct conjunction with Pluto. This again shows this recurring theme - something about our way of drawing in and getting what we want (themes heavily ruled by Venus) needs to change. Whereas last time, while the planets were in conjunction, the change may have had to be personal - we may find that this time, with the opposition, the change needs to come from or be helped by our closest Others. Venus will not make an aspect with Pluto during her retrograde cycle, so this is something that has passed us, even if we need to momentarily revisit it.

This is likely an old ego story that needs revising. Venus and Pluto's opposition will align with our lunar nodes that are just barely hovering on the line between Taurus/Scorpio and Aries/Libra to create a fixed grand cross. This may highlight an area where you feel very stuck in your life. Even though Venus will move quickly on Pluto and the nodes will hold this as a t-square throughout the month which shows that it is an ongoing situation. If you identify the problem, great. But be aware that the energy to shift and move through it may not come until Pluto reenters Capricorn (6/11) and the nodes switch to Aries/Libra (7/17). Aries, Libra, and Capricorn are cardinal signs, after all, and cardinal signs NEED to move. Use that to your advantage when you can.

The weekend of 6/9-6/11 will likely be eventful. The sun in Gemini meets up in sextile with Chiron in Aries so we can assume our core wounds are close to the surface. Additionally, Mercury and Pluto meet up in trine with one another as they each change signs. Mercury is moving forward into its home sign of Gemini where it really likes to be. Pluto is moving backward into Capricorn, a transit that has been shaking up the old bones of our financial systems for the last 14 years. Additionally, Venus in Leo squares off with Jupiter in Taurus. This is a week to lie low if you can, or accept what comes up if you can't. Watch out for excesses, particularly excessive spending or overindulgences fueled by a hedonist Jupiter in Taurus. This would be a great weekend to do work towards ending addictive cycles as the energy of the waning moon will support you in these endeavors.

On 6/15, Mercury in Gemini squares off with Saturn in Pisces - this is our regular reminder that words have power, and with great power, comes great responsibilities. (thanks Uncle Ben) If you've been speaking out of turn, you may need to eat your words or fess up. In general, communication may just feel heavy through all of this week.

On Saturday, Saturn retrogrades at 07° Pisces. When considering Saturn, one should always remember that it is always somewhat looked at in its relationship with Jupiter. Where Jupiter expands, Saturn contracts. In this way, as our two intermediate planets, they are the inverse of one another. And when one of the two retrogrades, it takes on some of the natural energy of the other as often works with inverses. Saturn retrogrades start out like you got hit with a ton of bricks but tend to lighten considerably. When Sky Daddy Saturn's not home, all bets are off. Do you even need to follow the rules? Do you even need to do your homework? Because Jupiter is still moving in a direct motion, we've got the energy of Jupiter (expansion) now combined with the energy of retrograde Saturn (expansion/contraction) to contend with. It can be a bit unbalanced if you've sensitive to Saturnian movements.

The next day we will experience a new moon at 27° Gemini which will form a tight square with Neptune in Pisces. Gemini and Pisces have a lot in common with each other. For one thing, they are both mutable signs. They are also both twin signs - Gemini is literally the sign of the twins and Pisces is represented as two fish swimming in opposite directions. Both also like to live in a fantasy world of their own creation and have a tendency to (at times) lose track of reality - a trait that will further be enhanced by Neptune, the planet of secrets and illusions. All that glitters is almost certainly not gold during this time - in fact, it's probably a mimic and not gold at all. If it looks too good to be true, it certainly is. Save your decisions for another day and practice your very best self-care if this energy is too much for you.

Venus enters her pre-retrograde shadow the very next day at 12° Leo. Venus will retrograde at 28° Leo on 7/23 and remain in retrograde until the beginning of September, casting the second half of our summer in pallid tones. It can be really hard to find love or compassion when Venus retrogrades and this will be doubly so while Venus is in the ego-drive sun-ruled sign of Leo. This is just the warm-up, though - she needs to pass through her pre-retrograde steps first. Remember that from here on out, every aspect Venus makes will be made thrice: once in forward motion, a second time backward while in retrograde, and a third time again in forward motion. If you work astrological energy to mollify the effects of personal planet retrogrades, now is the time to start planning your strategy for this transit.

On 6/21, the Sun enters Cancer and Summer officially begins. Happy Summer Solstice! The Sun immediately meets up in sextile to our North Node in Taurus and in trine to our South Node in Scorpio. We are almost at the end of this lunar node story which may be triggering for some. Mars in Leo trines Chiron in Aries the same day which shows that old pains may lie close to the surface.

Mercury enters Cancer on 6/26 and Mars in Leo squares off with Uranus in Taurus. Mars plus Uranus is pretty intense no matter the aspect and the square creates a lot of tension - watch out! Stay away from explosives in general, including but not limited to explosive conversations. This is break-up weather - watch what you say because you may not be able to take it back. The Sun in Cancer sextiles retrograde Saturn in Pisces two days later so consequences may be swift and swampy. On 6/29, Venus in Leo trines Chiron in Aries to activate those old wounds. Try to use it to heal them rather than wallowing in the pain, if you can.

On the last day of the month, Mercury trines retrograde Saturn which is another day when consequences may be close to the forefront. Pay the piper for your mistakes if you need to. Own up to your part in things. Look at it rather than away from it.

I can see how some of you after reading this would be going: Minx, how is this a break from all of this intense astrology we've been having?

I assure you that it is. Venus is going to retrograde through the second half of the summer - make amends while you can now. This is the easiest most that we will have for a hot minute, so try to enjoy it. Okay?

week of july 30th, 2023

aries: this week is a good time to control any excessive spending. even if it's not normally an issue for you, things are more likely than usual to arise this week which are either unexpectedly expensive or simply very tempting.

taurus: a full moon occurs this week which is likely at odds or in tension with some of your natal points. the bright side is that it lights up your career and home axis; your legacy, your descendants (even if they are not genetic ones) and your ancestors are all present to support you.

gemini: the mercurial vibes are not very earthy and the air vibes are not very mercurial BUT both are present and they do sort of combine to create an overall gemini-esque tone, which has you energized although the people around you may begin to feel that you are overwhelming them with information. if you start to get irritated vibes, just write things down for later.

cancerians: use this week's full aquarius moon as an opportunity to enhance intimate (and?)/or occult pursuits. if you dabble in the taboo those things may be revealed more publicly at this time, so be careful that your actions are all in line with your truest and highest integrity.

leo: consider your partnerships carefully under the light of this full moon. if you are in one currently, what do you love about it? what do you not? what can you change or do you want to keep? single leos can meet someone new or re-evaluate their past history to update their present trajectories as desired.

virgo: this is your last week before mercury enters the shadow of its retrograde... actually it starts this week. in your sign, yes. uninterrupted mercury in virgo through to october. so get your affairs in order now! fortunately, some mars/jupiter/mercury/saturn action all this week provides a productive and powerful boost, if you are willing to be just a little disciplined about it.

libra: your 5th house is lit up by a full moon this week so prepare to have a good time. pouty librans insistent on not enjoying it can at least channel their pouting feelings into good art or, if art is not really your thing, a nice karaoke session or inspired clothes-shopping. but at least try to experience some pleasure, it'll be good for your soul!

scorpio: a plutonic square to the nodes has your rituals under tension. what is really important to you? what is a mundane boring routine? can you sparkle up the things you think are dull? can you find the soul in the inanimate? if you can lucid dream on purpose, take a hero's journey to the underworld. if you cannot, write about what you think (or wish) you would find there.

sagittarius: some jupiter stuff really occurs this week. it is less lucky than normal. but you and jove are never exactly UNlucky, so don't worry too much; whatever happens is for the most part for you, not TO you, don't let yourself fall into any victim mentality.

capricorn: it's actually a sort of dark time for capricorn folks BUT the great news is your money and resources are truly blessed in this period, and you can spin straw into gold if that's what you're really faced with. you may have to ask for help, which is not your strongest suit, but there are worse fates, you know?

aquarius: the full moon in your sign always highlights relationships because the sun is then necessarily in its domicile in your 7th house and leo. and that is a very powerful sun, so your partnerships or other close ties may feel either very golden and enlightening or else very oppressive and suffocating, and it's unlikely to fall somewhere between. if you need out, get out. if you like the warm rays, bask in them like a lizard.

pisces: mercury begins to prepare for another retrograde, this time staying entrenched in your opposite sign until october. the shadow begins in just a few days' time. hard conversations, if they are needed, will fare better now than down the line.

April 2023 Important Dates

AKA my notes on The Astrology Podcast's April Forecast, hosted by Chris Brennan, Austin Coppock, and guest host Robert Weinstein. Mundane recap: Pluto's ingress into Aquarius heralds the integration of AI-generated text and images into larger parts of life, impacting industries, job markets, warfare, and more. The TikTok ban bill is another manifestation of Pluto's power struggle significations. Saturn in Pisces has also hinted at some of the upcoming themes: the recent banking crisis and a shift in public policy re: covid. The Saturn-Uranus cycle has served as an indicator to economic booms & busts, with eclipses especially igniting this--the 1929 stock market crash happened with the Nodes on the Taurus-Scorpio axis, and the FTX crash can be seen as a final crisis from Saturn square Uranus around an eclipse. Chris predicts eclipses will continue to affect finance. In popular culture, Everything Everywhere All At Once won many awards and was released during the Pisces stellium, which thematically fits.

Additionally, many planets change signs and put themselves in aspect to Saturn or Pluto for the first time since the outer planets entered these new signs, setting the tone for the next few years (or decades, in the case of Pluto). We've got a lot of beginnings and motion with the cardinal sign emphasis (we begin the month with an Aries stellium and Mars having just entered Cancer, and end it with an Aries eclipse).

April 3rd - Mercury enters Taurus From here Mercury squares Pluto, sextiles Saturn & Mars, conjoins an eclipse point and approaches Uranus, putting it in a difficult position to do the planting & planning to which the first decan of Taurus is normally conducive. Slow down and be methodical about what we're doing. Between Pluto's underground machinations and Uranus's unpredictability, it's hard for us to make decisions. In the sign of Taurus this will almost certainly have financial implications as well. Mercury will start slowing down around the 10th or 11th, with the retrograde shadow beginning at 5Taurus soon after an eclipse. Funnily enough, he will retrograde over these same degrees later in the year.

April 6th - Full Moon in Libra Here's the chart:

The Moon is at 16Libra, with the Sun within 4 degrees of conjunction to Jupiter (♈). The Moon is coming off a square with Mars (♋), part of a larger shift towards tension in cardinal signs during the Red Planet's transit. Chiron at 15Aries is very close to the Sun (conjunction) & Moon (opposition). The Moon's ruler Venus has just left a conjunction with Uranus, and in her domicile of Taurus, indicates some fervent and moderately successful attempts at stabilizing matters. We may also find stability through contracts and deals, which are associated with the second decan of Libra. Venus is also approaching Jupiter, whose proximity to the Sun makes him combust (too close to the Sun to be visible) and less able to provide the optimism & reassurance we seek. Alternately, hopeful events may be happening behind the scenes while our optimist planet is invisible for 2-4 weeks.

April 10th - Selected auspicious election

This occurs around 2:10PM local time, with Leo rising and Ascendant ruler the Sun in the 9th whole sign house, which for a day chart is extremely fortuitous. It takes advantage of the Sun-Jupiter cazimi about to occur, with the former in exaltation making things even more auspicious. The Moon in Sagittarius applies to a trine with domicile lord Jupiter. Venus is in the last degrees of Taurus, so Leo rising charts earlier in the month can take advantage of her presence in earlier degrees. 9th house topics (Jupiter) include education, travel, higher learning and publishing, while 10th house topics with Venus can indicate art & creativity. With the Moon in the 5th house this can also be good for leisure or fun & games.

April 11th - Venus enters Gemini, Sun-Jupiter conjunction (♈) The Jupiter cazimi (exact conjunction to Sun) occurs around 21-22Aries: there is still something to believe in. Not only is this fortuitous as a heightening of the greater benefic's energies, but the Sun is also in exaltation. Think optimism, expansion, and hope (Jupiter) and doing something at a level of excellence (exalted Sun). This is the seed point for new ideas, leadership and following your own path. Unfortunately the next week brings a damper on otherwise great events.

Upon entering Gemini, Venus immediately trines Pluto (♒) and soon after squares Saturn (♓), the last major aspects leading up into the eclipse. Venus trine Pluto in air signs can signal intensifying personal relationships as communication delves deeper, or perhaps enjoying the new technologies that are otherwise scary. However, Pluto is rarely light and Saturn makes things significantly heavier. Venus square Saturn indicates significant boundaries or obstacles in personal relationships, something that may keep the relationship from happening at all. In Austin's words, Saturn either locks you out or locks you in. This is also the time when Mercury starts slowing down to a speed slower than average in preparation for retrograde (figuratively tiptoeing up towards Uranus and deciding to turn around).

April 20th - Lunar eclipse in Aries, Sun enters Taurus This is the first eclipse both of the year and in the Aries-Libra axis, but we're not totally out of the woods yet for fixed signs.

The eclipse has a very close out-of-sign square to Pluto, and immediately after, the Moon ingresses into Taurus and squares Pluto, as does the Sun soon later. We'll get insight into what the next 20 years of Pluto in Aquarius has in store. Eclipses have indicated dramatic shifts in leadership since the earliest days of astrology, and Austin says in Aries this indicates actual heads of state. This lunar mansion/nakshatra is also associated with medicine, the public figure(s) in question may be in that field. Pluto at 0Aquarius (degree where pandemic lockdown measures intensified at various times) weighs in via a sextile to the moon, and this eclipse is also square the US Sibly chart's Pluto with Mars, eclipse ruler, on the US Sun. Thus Chris and Robert both expect significant financial events during this upcoming eclipse season.

April 21st - Mercury stations retrograde in Taurus This station occurs closely conjunct Uranus, so technological snafus and freak accidents are certainly in order. Mercury in Taurus helps the trains run on time, so we can expect further disruption and chaos on that front. Avoid messing with electricity if you can, and generally we may feel a shock to the collective nervous system. The Sun-Mercury conjunction marking the retrograde's halfway point will occur around May 1st, so we can expect to start moving towards a resolution then. On May 5th we get the answering eclipse to this one, Mercury stationing direct on the 15th, and Jupiter entering Taurus soon after. These events in mid-May will help stabilize things, though Mars will form a T-square with Jupiter and Uranus... Overall we feel eclipses for a couple weeks on either side. Pay attention to the parts of your chart where the eclipses occur: new beginnings and endings are in order as the nodes move!

The New Moon in Capricorn: Dynamic Changes

The New Moon will be in the sign of Capricorn on December 23rd, 2022. Now that Jupiter has entered the sign of Aries, it will be squaring the Sun and Moon in the sign of Capricorn early on this season. What does this mean? It can feel like an awakening for Cardinal signs as well as Cardinal dominants. Now that Jupiter has moved away from Pisces and ingressed in Aries, we can feel more prepared to plan and go after what we want.

Aries – This New Moon is all about career goals and going full speed ahead. It is a time when you feel a lot more confident with where you see yourself. During the next six months, you will be planting those seeds to focus on where you truly want to see yourself and focus more on doing what brings you happiness. It is your time to shine, heal and break free from your limiting thoughts.

Taurus – Expect to see a shift in your philosophy during this time as the stellium in Capricorn officially forms with this Moon transit. Use this time to reflect on the past and see it as a building block to a future that flourishes and shines brighter. You have the essentials to take on anything that comes your way. Capricorn Season will awaken you to new opportunities and meet new people as well.

Gemini – Capricorn season could feel slightly overwhelming with the cluster of planets in the same sign but somehow you know that this is going to allow for growth and changes ahead. You have a supportive circle that will bring you inspiration during this time. Navigating through some past hurts might not be easy but with Venus also here, you feel empowered and prepared to heal.

Cancer – The energy is shifting back to you and your relationships. If those power dynamics have not served you during the last year, it is your moment to switch things up. Understand what you want in an existing or new relationship and be more open to communicating since Mercury and Venus are also in Capricorn. Make this energy about you and your happiness.

Leo – You have gone through a lot of growth with these Saturn transits, now you are going to be able to channel what you have learned into creating a space where you do not feel overwhelmed by your responsibilities. Learning to balance work with healing will be your priority now. Expanding your belief season will also be a theme for you for the next six months.

Virgo – Now that Jupiter has left your relationship house, you are going to apply the lessons in dating and partnerships for the next six months. What you learned during the Jupiter in Pisces transit will be important so you do not repeat the same relationship mistakes. Jupiter in Aries will help you heal from previous relationships and be more open to making profound changes that will help you feel empowered with connecting.

Libra – Claiming your space and showing others just how valuable you are will be major themes with this transit. Saturn in Aquarius has allowed you to focus on work and achieve the successes you deserve. The New Moon will allow you to make changes and redefine the way you view success. Your relationship energy is sparked as well now that Jupiter has re-entered Aries. Networking and going after what you desire comes easier for you now. 

Scorpio – All of these transits in Mutable and Fixed signs are finally shifting gears into Cardinal territory. You could feel this Moon transit as a breath of fresh air and as an opportunity to move ahead with what you desired. Although Uranus might still bring you some havoc, the energy seems to be more manageable with this Moon transit. You are here to pick up the pieces and fix anything that has been shifted by the Saturn transits while focusing on balance.

Sagittarius – Jupiter in Pisces might have rocked or crumbled your world, nevertheless the energy is shifting with Jupiter back in Aries and making a powerful trine to your sign. With the Moon in Capricorn, you can see this as an opportunity to expand in other areas that expand your creativity and allow you to be more comfortable with who you are. Ignore the haters, take charge, and don’t look back.

Capricorn – You are the star of the show with this New Moon in your sign making you feel unusually optimistic. Jupiter has entered Aries and you are focused on preserving your energy and investing in people as well as things that bring you joy and can further your success. You have new game plans to get where you want, you are more trusting in others, and can feel your confidence blossoming.

Aquarius – Things can feel a little cloudy with Saturn still in your sign steering you to the next phase before it moves into the sign of Pisces 2023. This Capricorn Season will push you to contemplate everything that has happened in the last several years. You have been presented with challenges and pushed through like a soldier. Jupiter in Aries will make you feel more open to communicating and sharing with others regarding issues you need to learn how to heal from. Trusting yourself and starting a new foundation for healing and growth will be essential for the next six months.

Pisces – You are in your element now during this Capricorn Season since it can serve as a preview of your Saturn in the Pisces era. The work that needs to be done now will be amplified next year when Saturn moves in your sign. The networking you do will push you forward, reminding you to seek others when you feel overwhelmed. Setting up a more manageable work schedule and plan can also help you feel less pressured by responsibilities.
