Astrology Observations No.27:

*just based on my observations, pleas only take what resonates

(Trying to write more posts and answer more asks lately, everything has been so busy omg- hope you all enjoy what I can put out there tho! c:)

-A perspective but I think Libra placements (big 6 but especially Venus and mars) are attracted to harmonious/balanced appearances, like I think having that glow from confidence in your aesthetic and it fitting you and things like that can make you just as attractive to Libra placements as conventional measurements of beauty

-Sun Conjunct Venus makes you really charismatic and you probably attract a lot of people by being yourself, and sometimes these natives can be people pleasers especially if they’re trying to impress others

-Quietly I associate your mars sign and your MC the most with the work you’ll do. Mars because you can’t divorce your passion from your work (says the Capricorn). And MC because it’s what you’re known for and that’s often tied to some sort of work/action. North node is tied in there too but it plays out so long term it can be harder to summarize. (I can do a post about the general fields that placements tend to go towards if folks are interested?)

-Aries and Sagittarius Mercury tied for most likely to accidentally blurt out your secrets

-Chiron Venus aspects (especially square, opposition, and conjunction) may find themselves undoing a lot of pressure around their looks or being especially hard on themselves over their perceived flaws/imperfections

-The sign over your 5th house may denote if you have many or few casual romantic connections (Saturn/Capricorn pointing to fewer one end of the scale and Jupiter/Sagittarius pointing to many at the other end of the scale, depends on Venus and mars too)

-You may find yourself accidentally pouring your heart out to water moons (especially cancer over how emotionally in-tune they are and scorpio over traaaaumaaa oml)

-I feel like Sagittarius can feel less mutable because Jupiter makes some of the forms of expression so big (ex. A Sagittarius Mars can get so mad at you and blow up, Sagittarius Mars/Venus typically date many partners, Sagittarius moons can express their emotions in a big way- I probably feel this way bc I’m Sag Pluto, the extremes lol)

-I’ve noticed that Venus dominants can seek more attention compared to like Leo/sun doms

-Fixed Venus can become codependent on their partner, putting heavy exceptions on their person for them to be their everything if underdeveloped— but if developed they can be very loyal to their person

-Mutable Venus aren’t quite commitment-phobic but they tend to be looking for a really special combination of traits to actually settle down with (when they’re monogamous), otherwise they get distracted very easily (or they treat their romantic options, and sometimes friends, like very temporary things- for better or for worse)

-Cardinal Venus are most likely to really go after what they want romantically, I think out of all the Venus modalities they have the most accurate idea of what they want at heart, from the start. But on the shadow side of this, they may be manipulative or try to conform their partner into what they want. (may play out differently for moon opposition/square Venus)

-I feel like where ever Venus is heavy in your chart may be how people assume you’re gracious but in a somewhat shallow way (ex. Venus conjunct mercury, people may find your voice and expression charming but assume you’re not that smart)

-Venus/Saturn aspects/ Capricorn Venus tend to have a lot of unrequited love interests and crushes that don’t reciprocate their affections when they’re younger but as they get older they tend to get the most affection from suitors that are older than them (be careful out here! Sometimes these old folks don’t know anything and they have bad intentions- girl when I say I had to take my own advice)

-Leos (big 3, especially sun & Asc) often know the right thing to say to charm you, it’s like when they want to they hit that sweetspot dead on. So do Libra’s (big 3) but they tend to approach things less directly, like compliments that really sit with you and come onto you in quieter, sometimes less serious way (if they have both in their big 3 then they’re just -a charmer- and idk I take that at face value 80% of the time lol but I’m a skeptic)

-I find that Pisces and Sagittarius placements (big 6 but especially sun for identity and moon for emotionality) often get VERY into spirituality at some point in their lives

-People with Jupiter in Virgo tend to work very diligently, almost too hard sometimes and they can be prone to burning themselves out from this behavior (something something don’t burn the candle at both ends- hypocritical from a Jupiter in Capricorn person lol but still)

-We talk about how Scorpio placements observe every detail about you, but I like Pisces placements (big 6 but especially sun, moon, Venus, and mars) have told me things about myself and habits I have that I’ve never noticed about myself. They’re super observant they notice a lot. I think they have this in common with their sister sign, Virgo. But I noticed Pisces will use their intuition in their observations instead of just analyzing. (I.e. you do x when you’re angry, is it because you feel defensive? Or I noticed you light up when you talked about him, you must really like him)- can also apply to Neptune Conjunct your big 3 (especially moon), and big 3 in 12th but it’s a bit more second nature to them than Pisces

-The season of your Venus sign is the time you’re most likely to indulge in self care and purchases for yourself (Sag season started and all of a sudden I was like I need makeup now, even though I hardly wear it in the winter lol)

-The season of your mars is the time you’re most like to take major actions (starting a business, going on solo adventures, etc)

-The season of your sun is when you’re most likely going to receive the most public recognition (also when the sun is transiting your MC/10th house)

Astr observations 《4》

Disclaimer: I am not an astrologer. This post is only for entertainment purposes, so whatever I have mentioned, if it is reasonates, well and good, and if it doesn't, then please take it with a grain of salt. Thankyou.

🛖 Aries in 3rd house may have a very reckless yet mature behind the scenes relationship with their siblings. They also fight a lot with their siblings for no reason. Surprisingly, this usually goes physical more than verbal. Very playful relationship. There is always a strong urge to hit the other person and irritate them to death. It gives them pleasure. When injured, you might immediately stop the fight no matter how serious it is and take care of each other. Oh, and if someone else dares to trouble any of you, hell would break loose. They can't hear anything bad about each other. In certain cases, this could also apply to mars in 3rd house.

🪵 Dirty mind, Dirty mind, Dirty, Dirty, Dirty mind~ Heard the song? Yeah it's made for those who have their personal planets or ascendant conjuct asteroid Prevert. Trust me, the dumb way to die is by sneaking a glance in their minds. You will be traumatized for the rest of your life and will never look at them the same way again. At any given moment their thoughts are always in gutter. Yeah I am calling myself out at this one. Do I care? No.

🛖 Mars in 10th house folks are really good at dancing. They dance so well.... like you can see the passion in their steps. Dancing can be one of the hobbies in their lives. These people can also be known for dancing professionally and being captivating as hell on social media.

🪵 Lilith in 7th house could indiacte having seen a lot of failed marriages in their life. This could be in their immediate family or even include their own parents. Hence these people have a really different mindset when it comes to marriages. They might even resent the idea of getting married and often question, what's the point?

🛖 Moon in 1st house are babies. Literally babies. Like they look so damn cute and adorable that I just can't help myself but give them a huge hug. They are the most genuine type of people I think because its rarely when what's on their mind is not on their faces. They look so innocent and naive (even if they are legit not.) People just wanna protect them at all costs. They bring out the maternal instinct for them from the other person naturally. But no matter what their warmth is the best comfort zone and their arms are home <3

🪵 Mars in 5th house would definitely be that uncle/aunt/cousin/sibling who spoiled small kids to death and taught them to do weird stunts and create a headache for other family members.

🛖 Transit Saturn in 1st house is really frustrating. It feels like you are doing nothing progressive for yourself and just wasting time. Your efforts go in vain and its really hard to maintain consistency. Sometimes you also realize what mistakes you are making but you find it difficult to correct them. Mental state is always fluctuating and self-confidence is very down. This mainly goes on until the very end when you realize that now you gotta be serious. But when you really do hardwork and break the cycle of laziness, it pays off. Its like an immature, careless kid suddenly becoming a responsible and serious person. Remember, our beloved saturn plays mind games with you. Its either you break free from this if you want the prize or pay the price.

🪵 The people that I have seen to be most likely get cornered, misunderstood and targeted are people having chiron in their 1st house. Its really concerning and hurtful. Because of other idiots these babies get hurt on a very deep and subconscious level. They occasionally have identity crisis and depression is their bestfriend. They try to be happy but life always seems to push something in their way.

For example, I have this relative of mine and she lost her brother a year before she got married. She thought if she starts fresh, it would help. But unfortunately turned out her in-laws were not good people. She was gravely misunderstood by everyone. Even if people knew that it was not her fault, they took great pleasure in gossiping about her, blaming her and literally named her a psycho. Which she is not ofcourse. She was just mentally fragile and instead of understanding her, supporting her, they made her more unstable for no reason.

🛖 Leo venus folks love Cats. They are an animal lover by heart and soul. They are someone who might stop their car in the middle of the road because they saw a really cute cat walking on the sidewalk. Just to go their and mingle with it while thinking, If only I could take it home....

🪵 Cancer moons in 3rd house, please, please stop imitating that baby voice just to butter me up and get your work done. You might think its cute but no, I can see through everything and its so annoying plus immature. Ofc now it doesn't apply to everyone out there but those who do, please take my advice and stop it. Usually I have noticed only underdeveloped people do this but until they realize, its too late and others already find them so annoying. Honestly Cancer moons are so smart yet sometimes they.....*sighs*

🛖 Nessus aspecting Mercury could mean that you often end up hurting people through your words or the way you communicate even when you genuinely don't mean it. These people are really misunderstood a lot of times. Also this works the other way too. For example, you get easily hurt or offended when people speak ill about you. They might just share their opinion on your new home decor but instead you would feel insulted when in reality that's not the case. Not that you would hold a grudge, it depends person to person but you will definitely not overlook that. It would just sting a lot for no reason. You will always wonder, why did she say that?

For positive aspects, this could work out well too, for instance they know exactly what to say and what not to. They can be great negotiators, entrepreneurs and social influencers. They also know how to handle people embodying nessus qualities like a troll or opposition hell bent on creating trouble. Hard aspect people will slowly learn to overcome their problems in communication with time and experience.

🪵 Mars opposite MC screams suppressed anger. The thick tension between their anger and self-image is unbelievable. They don't like to get angry in public. They often gulp down their anger to the last extent because they don't want their reputation to get spoiled because of it. Sometimes its automatic they wanna get angry at someone but end up swallowing it anyway. But please don't test their patience. They might just explode unexpected at any time like a nuclear bomb and destroy everything within their range, not caring about their public image whatsoever.

🛖 Lilith in first house/Conjuct Ascendant are the infamous bad examples of the family while Lilith opposite Ascendant are the good examples with secrets darker than nightsky- always holding their sanity with a single string. Ironically, both are siblings, two sides of the same coin.

🪵 Remember, in one of my posts, I said that I don't relate with Aquarius rising and their unique fashion sense? Well, guys, I finally cracked the mystery! It's not our fashion sense that's unique. It's us. We are the aliens. Ok, that was a bad joke. But really, for example, a few months back, I wore a very pretty dress at my cousin's wedding. And istg people were looking at me like I was an alien, like I wore something totally out of the blue. As if It was not something improper or overdressed but very different than what everyone was wearing, which, of course, was not the case.

Now the funny thing is, if it was someone else wearing the same dress, I don't think anyone would've said anything about it. And voila! It happened. A few days back, I attended a family function, and I saw a girl wearing the same dress in different color and design. And fr nobody uttered a word. Those same people overlooked her as if it was totally normal. As if they didn't just make me talk of the town for a whole week because of that dress. So yeah, finally figured out, it's me, I am the problem.

🛖 Its not always true when they say Earth Mars people are calm and collected. I mean they are but suppose you have a virgo mars but you also have a Leo or Aries or Sagittarius stelium, your Virgo mars will be crying in the corner while that fire stellium will create a havoc and burn down the whole world in matter of some seconds.

🪵 North node in 11th house people are so likable. They are that one friend who knows the entire school and vice versa. So many connections and so many new friends. They just keep making connections left and right no matter where they go. People like to be in their contact. This gives me 'popular girl' vibe.

🛖 You sneaky little thing, you think no one knows how much you love reading smut? Yeah you, I am talking to you, Scorpio Jupiter/3rd house. Look me in the eye, I dare you to deny this.

🪵 Mercury conjuct Mars.... man, they literally spit fire when they talk. Can't win any argument against them. Ngl, I told my friend that I would leave her if she doesn't keep her hands off me special mention to her love language that is playfully hitting me at any possible situation. She just laughed and said, "Go, nobody would take you." Me: Cries silently. Her: I know baby truth hurts. Lemme give you a hug.

🛖 If you have no positive aspect to sun in your natal chart, it might be possible that people don't like your personality much. They think you are too egoistical or full of yourself. They might also backbitch about you a lot. Now this is just what I have observed so far. So it may not reasonate with everyone.

🪵 People with Sun conjuct Ascendant make very great leaders. They have a king/queen Aura surrounding them. And when they speak or share their opinion, people actually listen and take them seriously. When they walk in a room, they make sure everyone knows who has the authority.

Full Moon in Aries square Mars in Cancer -

The importance of being aware of your emotions

Throughout the year, we experience several Full Moons in different signs, with each month bringing a new experience, a new interplay of planetary energies. These energies do indeed affect us, though we may not always notice.

The Moon is one of the most interesting planets to focus on because of its fast movement and constant change. It perfectly symbolizes the fluctuations we deal with in our emotional realm.

The Moon represents habits, phases, routines, our inner world, and emotions. It also connects to our emotional roots, ancestry, and so on.

For today’s post and insight, we’ll focus on the first five aspects I mentioned: phases, habits, routines, inner world, and emotions.

During a Full Moon, as I’ve previously mentioned on the blog, the Moon reaches its peak of energy.

How and where this energy manifests depends on the sign it’s in (for everyone) and the house where you have that sign in your chart. Additionally, it’s important to observe the aspects affecting your transits.

There’s also a crucial collective perspective to consider: the planetary aspects that affect everyone.

For this Full Moon in Aries, one aspect caught my attention: Moon square Mars.

This aspect brings up some very EMOTIONAL nuances. Not only because the Moon is involved, but also because Mars is in Cancer, a sign ruled by the Moon.

Additionally, there’s an interesting dynamic where the Moon, ruler of Cancer, is in Aries, and the square happens with Mars, ruler of Aries, which is currently in Cancer.

Guidance and recommendations, the focus of this post:

→ Pay attention to your emotions.

→ Understand that your emotions are not you.

→ At the same time, acknowledge the inner triggers that are surfacing along with these intense emotions.

→ Don’t react or make hasty decisions based solely on emotions like fear or strong feelings.

→ Use Aries energy to start something new, or continue something already in motion. However, avoid decisions driven by emotional nuances (e.g., impulsively acting on something you fear unless you are very clear, at peace, confident, and certain of what you’re doing).

Allow your feelings to flow, let them out. Repressing them will only make things worse.

However, be mindful of how you do this. Avoid discussing your emotions too directly right now. Find a healthier and more 'isolated' way to express them.

After the Moon in Aries, we’ll have the Moon in Taurus. Though it will no longer be a Full Moon, we’ll enter the Waning Gibbous phase, a time for reflection, introspection, and analysis.

At this time, many will feel the desire to ground themselves, and some might try to control their emotions. If you’ve been reckless with your emotions, you might experience regret or guilt that could have been avoided.

Therefore, try to steer clear of emotional atmospheres, especially in complex situations or relationships.

Yes, we should use the energy of Aries, remembering that it’s the sign impacting the Full Moon, but also recognize that a Full Moon brings a lot of energy circulating within the themes of the sign. And here, we also have a square (a tense, challenging aspect!) with Mars in Cancer.

Mars in Cancer

tends to react emotionally. In terms of planetary dignity, Mars is in fall here, meaning its energy doesn’t flow easily. Mars deals with the Cancerian energy, which is more contained, introspective, emotional, and fluctuating. As a result, Mars-related actions, vitality, and reactions fluctuate too. For those with this placement in their natal chart, much depends on their emotional state. It’s something that can be worked on to avoid negative tendencies and experience the positive side of this placement.

With that in mind, it’s crucial to avoid environments, conversations, or situations that make you feel like you "need to act". Be cautious. We’ll be dealing with a lot of EMOTIONAL REACTIVITY.

We need to remember the world we’re living in. It’s a society marked by disconnection from the inner world and emotions, with little self-awareness. There's mental overload and, at the same time, misinformation.

Many experience FOMO (fear of missing out), trying to keep up with everything without knowing if it really adds value, just to meet the need for belonging. There’s a lot of disconnection from both self and others.

When elevated, Cancer represents emotional respect, recognition of emotional states, sensitivity, introspection, empathy, love, and heartfelt service. However, in today’s context, the tendency is to act unconsciously, spilling emotions onto any situation or person, because Aries represents release, activity, reaction, and impulses. Cancer represents emotions… so be mindful of that.

Use this moment to learn more about yourself and your inner world! After all, when elevated, our beloved Aries represents the initial path to self-awareness, the primal impulse to (re)discover oneself as an individual.

Shall we use this to our advantage and that of everyone around us?

I wish you a lot of awareness during this time.

In the next post, I’ll talk about how both the aspect and the Full Moon itself may affect the placements I selected, which will likely feel the impact more:

ASC, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn in Aries and how it correlates with each house.

ASC, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn in Libra

ASC, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn in Cancer

ASC, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn in Capricorn

See you in the next post! Kisses.

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.

Transits are the celestial messengers, revealing the dynamic interplay between the ever-moving planets and our natal blueprint. Each transit offers a unique opportunity for growth, challenge, and self-awareness. As planets align, oppose, and square, they activate different areas of our lives, urging us to evolve and adapt. Embrace the wisdom of the stars and navigate these transits with awareness and intention.

mars trine north node (sextile south node)

what happens today and perhaps tomorrow is DEFINITELY a harbinger of what is to come in a month's time and throughout the duration of mars's retrograde. mars retrograde is one of the rarest retrogrades we get, as it doesn't happen every year. let the omens tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear.

Tomorrow, April 10, Mars is conjoining Saturn, so it's time for you to do something about your income.

If you've been trying to earn money via art, this is the day to open your comissions or to sell a piece.

Do something behind the scenes or take a non-traditional course of action. The conjunction happening in the sign of Pisces will make those of you working in the arts or doing anything which isn't seen by the general public earn money thanks to the aspect happening at the 14th degree, ruled by Taurus, the sign where the $$$ is.

As Britney said it - you better work bitch. ☽

May 2024 Important Dates

AKA my notes from The Astrology Podcast's May Forecast.

April recap: on the 8th we had the solar eclipse in Aries that covered much of the United States, during a Mercury retrograde and right before a Mars-Saturn conjunction--all also in Aries! In international news this connects to Iran's retaliation for Israel's strike on its Syrian embassy. A tragic eclipse story is of astrologer Danielle Ayoka, whose death after a mental breakdown was sensationalized by the LA times as part of modern-day Satanic Panic. Our hosts urge the wider astrological community to learn more about how to support others who may be going through a mental health crisis and extend sympathy to the affected families. The inflammatory reporting also connects to a larger story of backlash against astrology as Saturn approaches a conjunction with Neptune in Pisces and the latter leaves the sign.

On April 10th we had an exact Mars-Saturn conjunction in Pisces, which a previous forecast predicted would correspond with issues of contaminated water, maritime warfare, and flooding. On the day of the conjunction, the EPA issued the first national limit for forever chemicals in the water. Saturn signifies both the restrictions and the longevity of the chemicals. There was also torrential flooding in Dubai, Russia, and Kazakhstan.

Jupiter conjoined Uranus in Taurus on April 20th; these planets only align every 14 years. Jupiter-Uranus indicates uprisings and revolutions: the last one corresponded with the Arab Spring, and there was also one in 1968-70 during Vietnam War protests, as well as the French and American revolutions. The student protests at Columbia (and later other universities) calling for divestment and ceasefire in Gaza are a direct connection here (the current encampment was directly inspired by student protestors doing the same thing in 1968 to protest the Vietnam War). These protests began on April 17th and saw a boom in media coverage when the conjunction went exact. The 1969 conjunction was in Libra; in Venus-ruled signs this alignment signals uprisings of "we don't want to be at war!" If these protests did start right at dawn on the 17th, this would have the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction (already exact by degree, but not minute) rising, fitting for an action that has sparked events across the nation.

Another Jupiter-Uranus story includes Congress passing a bill wrapping together military funding for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan with a probable TikTok ban. A historical connection here is the passing of the Lend-Lease bill in 1941, a precursor to the US entering WW2. With the US Uranus return coming up (which corresponds to the Civil War and WW2), Chris is nervous. Other conjunction stories include the restoration of net neutrality on April 25th (Taurus ruling basic necessities and resources), the Department of Transportation mandating airlines to give refunds (the Wright Brothers flew under a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction), the FTC put a ban on employer non-compete agreements, and a VW factory in Tennessee successfully unionized as part of UAW--one of the first unionized auto factories in the South! These regulation stories also fit with Saturn bringing rules and regulations.

We're entering the month of May right as Mars enters his domicile Aries, freeing us of the Saturn conjunction, Mercury stationing direct, and Venus in her home sign of Taurus.

May 2nd - Pluto stations Retrograde This occurs at 2 degrees of Aquarius and will see Pluto backtrack into Capricorn for the final time this summer. Retrograde stations intensify the significations of a particular planet in that sign, and this particular one occurs with a square from Venus in Taurus and copresence with the Moon. Pluto in Aquarius developments include developments in AI & technology, and with Venus signifying the arts we can expect AI image/video developments. On a personal level Venus-Pluto can indicate deep, transformative relationships as well as control, manipulation, and power dynamics. Venus in Taurus also activates the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, especially in the realm of our relationship to the natural world & differentiating what is real from what is fake. On a more positive note, this is a good time to indulge in creative projects, and with a retrograde especially, returning your idea to its original state. Venus-Pluto also relates to issues of women's rights and bodily autonomy (ex. Roe v. Wade).

May 7th - New Moon in Taurus

At 18 degrees of Taurus, the New Moon forms a sextile to Saturn (17♓), and soon approaches the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction (orb 3) just a few degrees away. Jupiter-Uranus themes will become more pronounced collectively and in our personal lives, likely bringing new chapters in the stories discussed in the recap. Also in Taurus is Venus, who's slowing down after her zip through Aries and emphasizes relationships as she brings us back down to earth. Meanwhile, Mars in Aries doesn't make many aspects to other planets this month (even copresent Mercury is moving away from him), making him a bit of a renegade, but also not interfering with other planets. On the 25th Mars will reach the degree of the eclipse (18♈), so those affected by the eclipse, especially night charts, will definitely see extra focus in this part of their lives, while day charts can expect some challenges.

May 12th/13th - Sun conjoins Uranus (not pictured) This Taurus season sees the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction continually activated. Rather than the usual relaxation, we'll hear the bells of rebellion tolling over and over. (Another date to watch is May 18th, when the Sun hits Jupiter.)

May 13th - Mercury enters Taurus He exits his retrograde shadow before this ingress and at the same time Venus sextiles Saturn, clarifying conversations. We'll feel like we're finally done with some hassles. Mercury's ingress into Taurus also focuses the solid majority of our energy in this area, rather than splitting it with Aries. However, he squares Pluto immediately upon entering, so before smooth sailing we'll have to deal with intense focus, digging up the past, and uncovering secrets. This might deepen conversations as Mercury treats the same issues Venus brought up with her square to Pluto earlier this month, but now with more distance and calculation than the tender emotions, or it can amplify those issues with a microphone.

May 14th - Electional chart for the month (not pictured)

May is actually one of the best months for electional astrology all year, free of Mars retrograde and most outer planet tensions that will overshadow the later part of the year. This selection is for about 12:30PM local time. This should give Leo rising, and the Ascendant ruler the Sun is in Taurus within 3 degrees of a conjunction to Jupiter in the 10th house. Venus is also in Taurus, squaring a Leo Moon in the first house. This is a great chart for 10th house matters like career, reputation, and public image, with the Ascendant ruler fully bonified by Jupiter and supported by both benefics. With the first house connection Diana suggests this is also a good time to update your work wardrobe or possibly website in ways that may seem unexpected. It's a good time to do something unique or innovative with Uranus placed so prominently. It's not as good for ninth house matters like foreign travel, as Mars is there in a day chart.

May 18th - Venus conjunct Uranus, Sun conjunct Jupiter Venus conjoins Uranus (23♉) at the same time that the Sun conjoins Jupiter (28♉), bringing us optimism and excitement. It's extremely buoyant and can be disruptive simply by virtue of so much happening at once. It's a Saturday, so a great time to have fun, but be prepared to sleep in late the next day. We can find new relationships that begin quickly but burn out fast too, and run into unexpected good luck.

May 19th/20th - Mars conjoins North Node (not pictured) The next day the Moon enters Libra and opposes this configuration, activating it. Mars takes the place of the Sun in an eclipse, reactivating the stories that these Aries-Libra eclipses have been pinging in our lives. Mars's anger may be in response to people crossing our social boundaries represented by the Moon in Libra. With the Moon bringing in the South Node and Mars's severing associations, we may become aware of things we need to relinquish or cut off. Picking fights can lead to consequences you really don't want.

May 20th - Sun enters Gemini This ingress foreshadows the stellium of planets in Taurus shifting to Gemini.

May 23rd - Full Moon in Sagittarius, Venus conjunct Jupiter, Jupiter sextile Neptune, Venus enters Gemini

This Full Moon is opposite the Venus-Jupiter conjunction (29♉), both of whom sextile Neptune (29♓), and when the Moon exactly opposes the Sun it sextiles Pluto. This is a more positive and optimistic lunation than what we've been seeing so far: the best of the night sect with the best of the day sect. Agreements made during this time will have staying power, and it's a good sign for peace in world events. Neptune connotes idealism in these accords--sometimes you need ungrounded hopes and dreams to go on. Venus-Jupiter conjunctions can also bring too much of a good thing, so be careful not to overindulge. This is also a good time to enjoy material and sensual comforts. It's the perfect day for a picnic!

Venus joins the Sun in Gemini soon after.

May 25th - Jupiter enters Gemini Jupiter spends about a year in a sign, and we'll be shifting from slow, grounded Taurus to mutable, airy Gemini. He'll be trining Pluto in Aquarius while here, accelerating technological advancements like AI and innovations in transportation. Diana uses the image of lots of busy bumblebees trying to collect lots of different information very rapidly. It might be overwhelming, and we could see heightened allergens. This also sets up the next month, where we'll have lots of activity in Gemini...all of which will square Saturn in Pisces! It'll be a lively air and water show with changes in short-term travel. In our personal lives, the combination of Venus & Jupiter will alleviate some of the issues we've been feeling in mutable signs, where places we've felt weighed down and restricted will receive some levity and buoyancy. Whichever house Gemini occupies in your chart will see some smooth sailing for awhile. Use this positive support in Taurus and Gemini to make hay while the sun shines!

May 31st - Mercury conjunct Uranus Mercury is the last planet to ping Jupiter-Uranus conjunction; in general there is a lot of planetary activity in Taurus this month, really activating whichever house that falls in for individuals. Mercury brings a megaphone to the final blast of energy from Taurus. Surprising news, unexpected communications, and conversations with unlikely sources are in order. Uranus-Mercury can open up possibilities that you never could have predicted, and are good for thinking on your feet. Both planets are associated with the nervous system--it's a good day to be cautious with your caffeine consumption.

Whether you need to be active or just rest, take advantage of the stability and help this month!

Jupiter in Gemini: What YOU Need to Know

What: Jupiter in Gemini 

When: May 25, 2024 - June 9, 2025 

Takeaway: With the planet of plenty in the curious and communicative air sign, luck and change are in store for your writing, learning, and big picture goals. 

Who’s Impacted: EVERYONE, but air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) and mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) will feel the effects more strongly. 

     It happens every 12 or so years that the universe says, “Hey, you know what I haven’t done in a while? Brought Jupiter and Gemini together.” Well guess what? IT HAS. That’s right, luck is in the air—literally. Luck and prosperity planet Jupiter has entered airy Gemini, breathing new life into your big picture aspirations and experiences from now (May 25) thru June 9, 2025! This is a big shift, marking the next phase of Jupiter’s cycle through the zodiac. 

     Jupiter in Taurus saw you planting seeds for long-term growth and success by pulling up your sleeves and putting in the work. Slowly. Surely. Methodically. It was a deliberate—and dare I say sedated—transit. But with Jupiter entering Gemini, the pace of life—the rate at which you seek out and take in information—and the maturation of your seedlings, are about to gain major speed. Now, if you’re new to astrology (heck, even if you’ve loved it for a while), you might not have formally met Jupiter. So, let me introduce you.  

Jupiter Meaning in Astrology

     Astrological Jupiter is the planet of optimism, expansion and luck. The gas giant’s pro-growth energy helps you put yourself out there and broaden your minds (via religious experiences, traveling to new places, going to college, or visiting an art museum), all the while encouraging you to make leaps of faith and take big risks. Benefic Jupiter also attracts people and opportunities that can help you make headway in your life and manifest major abundance. 

      Btw, the term benefic refers to planets that are traditionally considered to bring positive, favorable, and beneficial influences. The term comes from the Latin word beneficus, which means generous or kind. Venus and Jupiter are the two benefics of astrology, and they have a positive reputation of bringing generosity, sweetness, and blessings without much effort on your part. Jupiter is known as the Great Benefic, and is associated with growth, expansion, prosperity, good fortune, and optimism. It is a planet that brings opportunities and blessings that help you grow, expand, gain wisdom and experience.

     So, what does it mean to have this Great Benefic in Gemini? Well, in order to understand that, we must first understand Gemini.

Gemini Meaning in Astrology

     Mutable air sign Gemini is THE sign of pollination. Of disbursement. Of connection, communication, and commotion. Traditionally represented by the Twins, Gemini is actually more like a butterfly, bumblebee, or dandelion seed (and sometimes like a gnat): Gemini flies around from flower to flower, picking things up and putting things down, before moving on and blowing in the wind. Gemini never stays static for long, because a lack of movement and a lack of mental stimulation = boredom. And Gemini can never, ever be bored. 

     Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication (learning, writing, speaking, texting) Gemini is widely known as a chatty sign. But it is also a highly active, imaginative, clever, witty, changeable, and fickle zodiac sign. Butterfly-like, Gemini is made to move, explore, take things in, flit from flower to flower, rinse and repeat. And that’s all thanks to its mutable mode. 

     In astrology, mutability refers to the energetic temperament of ⅓ of the zodiac. Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) are literally made to spread things around. They’re meant to move and disperse what the fixed signs consolidate. Since Gemini is a mutable air sign, and air is the element of the mind, Gemini’s astro-M.O. is to collect, connect, and disperse information. THIS is why Gemini talks, reads, writes, and studies so much. Often at the same time.

Jupiter in Gemini Meaning in Astrology

     Though widely (and sometimes inaccurately) connected to windfalls of massive abundance and prosperity, Jupiter transits also (and more often) send you on a quest for meaning. And during these quests, you (hopefully) grow! You gain wisdom and knowledge by exposing yourself to new experiences, new people, and sometimes new cultures. THIS is what Jupiter is really about: growth through experience, then sharing what you learn and gain with others. 

     In Gemini, Jupiter’s experiences have a LOT to do with curiosity, connection, networking, learning, and communication—this includes communication in all its forms, from writing & speaking, to the media, social media, publishing, and even podcasts. Both Gemini & Jupiter have an unquenchable thirst for learning. The difference, however, is that curious Gemini seeks information. Wise Jupiter seeks knowledge. Mental expansion, sharing what they learn and know, and playfulness, are what these two have in common. 

     So, learning new things, taking in new information, getting curious about the world around you, connecting with new networks, and sharing your ideas and information with the world is what you want to focus on during Jupiter in Gemini. Why? Because Gemini is actually the sign of broadcasting and promotion. The sign is particularly adept at selling things, spreading the word, and dispersing information. In the planet of expansion and extended reach, whatever you put out into the world during this time could have massive reach and gain MAJOR popularity.

October 2, 2024

This New Moon solar eclipse in Libra is also a South Node eclipse. And along with the Moon and Sun conjoining in their exactness 🌚 just 4° from the South Node, Black Moon Lilith is in exact conjunction with them, and Mercury🗣️ is joining the close-knit party too!

This may bring the beginnings of a new chapter, through confronting the past. Communication, and perhaps communication that involves you standing up for yourself (Lilith), could be relevant topics.

There is also a grand trine🔺in the sky now between Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Cancer, and Saturn in Pisces. This suggests to me a couple different possibilities for harmonization of Venus and Mars, within a long term scope of greater security🪐. It could involve harmonizing your own “feminine” and “masculine” (or yin and yang) energies. Or it could suggest this occurring within a relationship.

The eclipse is square to Mars, and as it’s also exactly conjunct Black Moon Lilith, this does honestly make me think of scenarios where women may experience getting the upper hand, or taking their power back in some way.

There’s some intense activation of energies in the atmosphere now! I subscribe to the view that eclipses are gonna eclipse, no matter how you try to resist or control things, and that they can actually force change in some cases. Having awareness of the astrological climate in the case of an eclipse, including where it falls in your own chart, can help you keep your eyes open in the appropriate areas for developments or insight/intuition that may come. And simply prioritizing awareness, without much active effort to control right at this time, is going to likely be for the best until this passes.

Wishing signs of hopeful newness for all of us. 💖

Transiting Mars enters Aries

Tuesday, April 30 - Saturday, June 8, 2024

Mars is happy to be in Aries, as this is one of the signs he rules. How interesting for us to have transiting Mars/Aries and transiting Venus/Taurus both dignified at the same time! Can’t wait to see how this plays out for us all….

This entire transit is very energetic, full of piss and vinegar, punchy, enthusiastic, fanatical, courageous, competitive, adventurous, and so forth. If you have some major project to launch, requiring hard work - or a fitness/health issue to address - this is a great time for it. How it may play out over Mars’ areas:

Physical strength - this isn’t an enduring kind of strength, more like bursts of energy that power us through the task. Like the ability to lift a car to rescue someone from underneath it.

Energy levels - again, bursts. This isn’t usually a placement known for its endurance and staying power. We really have to beware burnout and overestimating what we can do.

Sexuality - very frank and straightforward. Needs to learn how to take “no” for an answer. Doesn’t play games.

How we go after what we want - the shortest distance between two points is a straight line! No detours! Get me where I want to be/go right now! Competitive. A lot of swearing during the driving, insults shouted out at the other drivers.

What this transit may turn out to be, if we put the work in, is a way to elevate how we express our natal Mars. There’s always room for improvement (which is a big piece of understanding Mars and Aries).

Friday, May 3 - Saturday, May 4:

Mars/Aries sextile Pluto Rx/Aquarius, 2°06’

Mars/Aries trine Pallas Athene Rx/Sagittarius, 3°22’

This is starting out with the very best of intentions!! We want to be smarter about how we “Mars,” and we want the changes to endure.

Saturday, May 18 - Mars/Aries conjunct North Node/Aries, opposite South Node/Libra, 13°33’. We can get valuable insight into being more independent and brave. We have the right to be alive.

Sunday, May 26 - Wednesday, May 29:

Sunday, May 26 - Mars/Aries square Vesta/Cancer, 19°47’

Monday, May 27 - Mars/Aries square Ceres Rx/Capricorn, 21°01’

Wednesday, May 29 - Mars/Aries conjunct Chiron/Aries, 22°09’

Spread over a few days, we experience some resistance. Maybe our families aren’t supportive of our efforts - we could lose focus, or have one of those dreaded detours. If you’re going to be a warrior, you’re going to get wounded; this is the case whether you’re trying to lose weight, or trying to change the world for the better. We have to learn how to deal with that.

Sunday, June 2 - Mars/Aries conjunct Eris/Aries, 25°18’. Mars ends this transit with a fusion of its energies with those of Eris. How I wish the name “Xena” would have stuck for Eris! In Xena’s TV show, per Wikipedia, “the series depicts her on a quest to redeem herself from her dark past by using her formidable fighting skills to help people.” Which is absolutely higher-ground Aries.
