Aquarius Full Moon Horoscopes Tarotscopes (Aug. 1, 2023) | Joshua the Psychic

Horoscopes are typically based on the twelve zodiac signs, which are associated with specific periods of the year and are believed to influence a person's personality traits and destiny. Each zodiac sign is associated with particular qualities, strengths, weaknesses, and characteristics.

February 2025 Important Dates

AKA my notes on The Astrology Podcast's February forecast, hosted by Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. Ironically I'm late for the shortest month of the year, but anyways let's get started.

January Recap: The year began on a Mars-Pluto opposition, coinciding with the attacks in New Orleans & Las Vegas. Mars retrograding into Cancer, the sign of the home, brought him closest to the Earth he gets during his orbit and signaled the beginning of massive wildfires in the LA area (Mars was also illuminated by the Cancer Full Moon). The Venus retrograde is also a factor here (Venus entered Pisces, the sign to which she'll regress later), though I don't quite agree with our hosts' decision to focus on chart for the incorporation of Los Angeles itself, as the worst-affected areas like Altadena, Malibu, and the Pacific Palisades are all separate municipalities--maybe a chart relating to Los Angeles County would be more fitting for a metropole that's so spread out. The TikTok "ban" story happened right as the Venus-Saturn conjunction went exact in Pisces, and the 75-day extension allowing it to operate right now ends on the day Venus will conjoin Saturn in Pisces while retrograde.

More Mars stories include Justin Trudeau resigning the day Mars regressed into Cancer. During the Mars-Sun opposition right on the heels of the Cancer Full Moon (January 14th-15th--midpoint of the retrograde), South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested (who declared martial law on the Mars station). On the 15th during the Sun-Mars opposition we finally saw a ceasefire in Gaza, tying closely to Mars's position at 26 Libra on October 7, 2023. Mars-Sun developments and ~26 degrees of cardinal signs are definitely degrees to watch for this story. Venus's ingress and upcoming retrograde may also be indicating a return home for Palestinians displaced during the past 15 months.

Donald Trump's second inauguration was moved inside due to cold, the same as with Reagan's second term--another Venus retrograde in Aries time. Venus rx gives us comebacks, and not always ones we want. There was also a comet in attendance during this event, as was one during the April eclipse and during the election last year. His orders setting new ICE deportation/detaining quotas are a continuation of Mars entering Cancer last fall when this topic was first raised, and the Saturn-Neptune in Pisces story is also related.

The Sun-Pluto conjunction in Aquarius on January 20th-21st (& Uranus station surprising us) coincided with the US government investing $500 billion in AI, especially in power for the data centers (will nuclear energy come back as an alternative because of the massive power demand for this?), and DeepSeek surpassed OpenAI in popularity & use. The chart of the PRC has the Ascendant and Moon in early Aquarius, though the Pluto in Aquarius story re: China & technological innovations dates back thousands of years, pointing (in Chris's & Nick Dagan Best's opinion) to some older early chart now likely lost to time.

We entered the month of February right off Uranus's last direct station in Taurus before he enters Gemini in July, bringing disruptions and shakeups into the beginning of the month. (A/N: did anyone else have half their workplace out sick last week?) In Taurus, money can both disappear and come from nowhere--some surprises are good! Chris's electional chart was for February 1st so I'll skip it for this month.

February 1st - Venus conjunct Neptune The eclipse points, the Nodes, just changed signs, putting the North Node in Pisces with Saturn & Neptune, with Venus soon to join when she retrogrades. Events or people that seemed dreamy and rosy at the beginning of February may prove to be the opposite during the course of Venus rx. The North Node (Rahu, head of the dragon) brings a ravenous hunger to events.

February 4th - Venus entered Aries, Jupiter stationed Direct For Jupiter this is marks his last few weeks in Gemini for the next year or so. With a near-perfect trine to his ruler Mercury, we have an extra boost to our positive developments. Retrograde Jupiter is a good time to followup, and now that he's direct boons can move forward for us. Chris predicts some kind of development in voice AI technologies kickstarting around this time.

Venus ingressed from her exaltation of Pisces to exile (detriment) in Aries, and she's slowing down, making things a little more complicated than usual. With the upcoming retrograde, events we feel in our Aries houses will take three passes to full resolve this time around. She's going to be in this sign until March 27th, and will be back here from April to June. Venus in Aries can give us bombshell charisma, like that of Marilyn Monroe or Lady Gaga. Venus retrogrades have also aligned with large protest movements, especially around women's issues. Venus retrogrades in the same sign every 8 years, so look back to 2017 or 2009 for stories around this. Our hosts bring up how Lady Gaga exploded on the scene in 2009 and indeed she released a new song reminiscent of her early career right before the Venus ingress--right on time for Venus returning! In personal charts, Venus rx prompts us to reevaluate what we really want, sometimes deconstructing things to build them back up in a new way. Check your Aries house for which area of your chart where this will occur. Pay attention to cues of attraction and repulsion during this time.

February 9th - Sun conjunct Mercury This Mercury cazimi occurs closely square Uranus, an aspect that goes exact the next day. The disruptive Uranus events from the beginning of the month will come back to us.

February 10th - Mercury square Uranus

February 11th - Sun square Uranus

February 12th - Full Moon in Leo

This Full Moon occurs square Uranus just as the Mercury cazimi did. With Uranus in Taurus and the Sun in Aquarius, we can expect tech and finance to be at cross-purposes at this time. Electricity and energy will likely be key concerns around this time, especially around wrapping up the use of petroleum oil first proposed in 1855 (though it's not the only fossil fuel). Austin sees crypto as a premonition that energy may back future currencies instead of something like gold. Leo full Moons are always loud, flashy, and showy. This is the last full Moon before the Venus retrograde, before Inanna descends to the underworld, stripped of her ornaments and garments until she awkwardly meets Ereshkigal at the end of the elevator.

February 14th - Mercury enters Pisces Happy Valentine's Day!

February 18th - Sun enters Pisces

February 20th - Mercury square Jupiter

February 23rd Mars stations Direct From February 12th to March 9th, Mars will stay completely put at 17 degrees of Cancer. Anyone with placements at mid-cardinal signs, prepare for Mars to be there!

We're finally direct, but Mars gets going very slowly. "Let's train and prepare first instead of bolting ahead," he says. Projects that have been going on in this area of life may be finally paying off. Mars in the middle decan of Cancer is good for protecting, defending, and fortifying, including reinforcing or strengthening muscles or structures. The dark side of this, especially in world events, include nativism/nationalism, racism, and other us-versus-them aggression. However, Venus is set to react in a firey way to whatever events Mars sets off when she stations on March 1st. Cardinal risings will feel these stations especially strongly, possibly as turning points in conflicts, as these planets both station in angular houses for you.

February 25th - Sun conjunct Saturn

February 27th - New Moon in Pisces

The Mercury-Saturn conjunction (20-24 ♓) is still strong, possibly inhibiting communication, while Venus (10♈) and Jupiter (12♊) get about as close as they will to a sextile before she turns back to reevaluate things before fully realizing that positive thing. This stellium in Pisces (Sun/Moon/Saturn/Mercury/South Node/Neptune) takes us into a vivid, dreamy, and sometimes nightmarish space in stark contrast to the dry Aquarian energy we've experienced for much of the month. There are many strange creatures under the waves, not all of them real. Mercury will also be ramping up for a retrograde in Aries and Pisces as we get into early March, showing us even more events that we'll be returning to later. The end of February looks a lot like April; we're not gonna be done with this for awhile. With eclipse coming up, our sensory deprivation tank will become a sleep deprivation tank as we walk the edge of the coming maelstrom.

week of december 31st, 2023

happy new year~!

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: the first week of the year is fairly calm, although mercury ends its little retrograde to kick off the new year. likewise you can start your year off by focusing on reinvigorating an academic or spiritual practice.

taurus: the astrological weather is fairly quiet at the moment which may well bode nicely for your upcoming 2024. proceed through the week with care regarding shared resources or taxes, and be careful not to push any romantic or commitment situations. although mercury stations direct, hold off on signing contracts or verbal agreements for a little while longer.

gemini: celebrate your ruling planet mercury ending its retrograde! seriously, don't let the day (new year's day!) go unmarked. while you may not be entirely out of the woods until he makes it into capricorn, a major milestone is here achieved.

cancerians: mercury direct is good news for fitness, health, and daily routines. it's like a lingering fatigue lifts at last. then mars into capricorn makes any ongoing romantic relationships a little more, let's say, sizzly. maybe a lot more. if you're seeking a commitment, it's almost time to get that ball rolling.

leo: it's a great week to be a leo. mercury direct lightens and brightens up your romantic and creative life. meanwhile mars heads for capricorn, which helps you stay looking the way you want to look, doing the things you want to do, at a level others only ever dream of attaining.

virgo: mercury resumes direct motion, helping to relieve any problems you've been having at home. then mars heads into his exaltation in your fellow earth sign of capricorn. create something new and follow your bliss, be that a person or a project or cuddling up under some covers alone.

libra: if you want to make your own good omens for yourself, wait until about january 2 or 3 and decorate your home with some mountainous imagery. but not impassable obstacles of mountains, rather mountains that have been successfully scaled, the view of the earth from up there on the peak if you can.

scorpio: for the most part you can forget mercury retrograde ending. that direct motion fixes some finances for you but the big deal really is mars into capricorn. mars was your ruler of old, actually even less than a hundred years ago pre-pluto. he is exalted in the sign of the sea goat. the animalistic side of that sign comes out. it suits you well. it is very raw, honest, primal... make the most of it.

sagittarius: been waiting for mercury's retrograde to end? arguably, it's affected you most of all. the new year kicks off with the direct motion at last beginning. it doesn't reach the end of its shadow period for a couple more weeks but things ease up for you big time. for best results, don't get hasty about any new year's resolutions. you can save them as long as you want. maybe until mercury is well back into capricorn and you can see more clearly?

capricorn: mercury goes direct to start 2024 and then mars promptly enters his exaltation in your sign. if you're doing hustle culture, it works, but it does best if you also use this vibe to defend your rest periods, your fun and play, and peace. but you win the battles you enter.

aquarius: if it seems like mercury retrograde took away some friends or social circles, they are likely to pop back in from new year's day on. at the same time mars into capricorn means it's good to get a little gung ho about your spirituality, especially in terms of integrating the shadow.

pisces: this is a good week to spend time with old friends you haven't seen in a while. helpful people abound if you just put yourselves in each other's paths. also be a helpful person to others! if you have networks or support systems to build, this is especially easy from the 5th onward.

⭐️Sagittarius Season⭐️

💕Sun in Sagittarius- this will bring more inspiration, motivation, enthusiasm, exploration and discovery of things. You will have more confidence and hope. Positive things will begin to happen. Maybe you can feel happier. It always brings a new way of looking at things and learning. It can also bring more travel or spirituality. Sagittarius during this time you will be very confident and courageous. Your relationship with your younger sibling will be good even if they will achieve success in their life which will make you proud of them. Nothing feels ordinary—it's all about embracing every moment. The biggest impact will be on Sagittarius, pisces, virgos and gemini placements. But most of all on sagittarius. It is often a time to let loose and have fun, this one will be a bit more dramatic than usual.

🍸Sagittarius season there will also be the final Mercury retrograde of 2023 on December 12. Lasting until January 1, this retrograde of the planet of communication is set to help us review not only our goals, but overall life strategy before we enter 2024.

🌙The new moon in Sagittarius on Dec. 12 offers a chance at finding meaning in our lives by exploring soulful and spiritual endeavors. You will look back and see how much you grow and learn from things also you'll start the new path in the spiritual way or maybe you will find some kind of new fate into something. This moon draws our attention to our spirit of adventure and how we interact with new perspectives. This new Moon in Sagittarius is an opportunity to step away from your fear and ask yourself, what if the best case happens? What if it all works out? Who would I be then? Sagittarius represents truth. Its energy is always in search of truth and reminds us that sometimes our inner truths need to be rewritten. Sagittarius is all about the direct experience with life. As you explore your truths and stories, it’s important to ask yourself if they are something you directly experienced or if they were taught to you.

⚡️Mercury in Sagittarius- Communication will be much more direct and expressed. You will feel more assertive and confident in communicating with others. It is a favorable period for attaining your beauty, youthfulness, health and fitness. So, you are advised to eat a healthy diet and adopt a good lifestyle. Thoughts become bigger, more optimistic and in some cases more exaggerated. It's a wonderful time for an intellectual adventure. This is a great astrological transit for shifting your position on an ethical, moral or philosophical point.

♐️Mars in Sagittarius- Now it will start happening. There will be many more experiences and fun things. Maybe random trips, stuff. Things will become more alive and there may be more adventure. This is the time when you spontaneously go to a club, go on a trip for a day, see a friend after a long time, do something crazy. This is the time to enjoy things without a bad conscience. You just do things and feel good about them. Lots of laughter and positive energy. It's like coming home and forgetting your keys and then sleeping over at your friend's house. Doing something with someone and feeling great. Do crazy things and don't regret it. There is only one life. Life in the moment. This transition encourages us to step out of our comfort zones and welcome new experiences eagerly. Instead of feeling adrift, this period acts as a guide, pointing us toward goals that ignite our passions.

🏹Sagittarius is all about honesty and being real, and when Mars teams up with it, it's like a big push to be yourself. This is the time to let your true self shine. You might feel more confident to talk openly and do things that really show who you are. This time can make our relationships feel stronger. There might be a lot of excitement and closeness with the people we care about. It's a great time to add a bit of excitement to romantic relationships, making things feel fresh and adventurous.

🥂What I love about sagittarius season is that you always learn to be confident in the things you do, you see how much you've grown and how smart you are now. And above all, that you feel young and optimistic. To learn to live as you should live every day. Life for this moment because you may never experience again🥂

2024: Major Astrology and Monthly Numerology Overview

2024 is an “8” year [2+0+2+4=8]. 8 is the number of the infinity sign and the auroboros. All things come around in an 8-year, you can expect to achieve the highest highs, but also the lowest lows. What goes up must come down in an 8-year, but also, what goes down will come up all over again. The year will be dominated by two major planetary shifts (Pluto enters Aquarius and Jupiter enters Gemini) and a major personal planet retrograde (Mars). Note: Although all of these are important, I have bolded the events that I consider to be especially important.

January

January is a “9” month. [1 (January) + 8 (2023)=9] Nine is the number of endings and completion.

Our Capricorn New Moon is a 2/2 New Moon: 10 (Capricorn Moon) + 10 (Capricorn moon) = 20 = 2+0 = 2 2 (Capricorn New Moon) + 9 (January 2024) = 11 = 1+1 = 2 Our Leo Full Moon is a 7/7 Full Moon: 5 (Leo Moon) + 11 (Aquarius Sun) = 16 = 1+6 = 7 7 (Leo full moon) + 9 (January 2023) = 16 = 1+6 = 7 Important January Ingresses, Retrogrades, and Lunar Events:

Antares, Algol and Vini Jr.

On June 2024, 3 attackers of Real Madrid's football player Vinícius Júnior were convicted of racism. In Brazil, Vini is protected by the law that provides for a sentence of 2 to 5 years in prison and a fine for racial assault/injury. Racism is specified as a serious crime that's non-bailable and imprescriptible, which means you can be tried at any time, regardless of the date on which it was committed. But this is the first time that a sentence like this had been handed down in Spain. When Real Madrid made the official anouncement, Vini spoke out and said:

Many asked me to ignore it, many others said that my struggle was in vain and that I should just "play football". But, as I have always said, I am not a victim of racism. I am the executioner of racists. This first criminal conviction in the history of Spain is not for me. It's for all black people. May the other racists be scared, ashamed and hide in the shadows. Otherwise, I'll be here to collect. Thank you to La Liga and Real Madrid for helping to bring about this historic conviction. More to come…

Statements like this that give you chills are usually delivered by either the Scorpion or Perseus. It's not a good idea to mess with either of those. Vinícius has the Moon with Antares, the heart of the Scorpion, and Saturn with Algol, Perseus' demon head. We don't have a reliable birth time for him

Vinícius has been attacked with racial slurs during several games, but these attacks specifically were on May 21, 2023, after a New Moon at 28° Taurus in the 8th house, very near Algol. The 8th house in mundane astrology has an association with crime and criminal incidents.

Real Madrid's announcement of the conviction and Vini's statement were on June 10, 2024 (possibly not the day of the conviction itself Idk). That's when Jupiter, the lord of justice, had already reached Algol, passed it and gotten into Gemini, where it meets Perseus' alpha star, Mirfak, at 1°.

Also two days later, four got arrested for making an effigy of Vinícius and hanging it from a bridge in January of this same year, which is very symbolic of Algol, but it signified their arrest. As I've made the point before, Algol is not just bad, but a protective apotropaic symbol.

Vinícius' Moon with Antares is important because it's common for Antares people to attract rivalry, persecution, or bullying. Antares (anti-Ares) is so named because it's a bright red royal star that looks like Mars, basically rivaling the red planet. But Antares is also one of the stars used by astro magicians to make talismans for protection against spiritual attacks, for banishing and binding evil spirits. So, at the same time I do often see it act in a similar way to Algol's effects of protecting from the "evil eye" or reflecting evil back upon the attacker. The idea of rivalry is constantly surrounding it. I immediately thought "that's Antares" when I saw Vínicius refusing to be seen as a victim and declaring himself the tormentor of racists. He's not the one crying, because the Scorpion does not play defense, it's a merciless forward, inside left.

December Monthly Forecast

December 2023; Astrology and Horoscope

— Astro News

❄️ Mercury's extended stay in Capricorn, between December 1st and January 26th due to its retrograde motion, focuses on precise communication and long-term goals. The transit prompts careful word choice and career planning, urging grounding meditations to address pessimism and problem clarity before solutions. This is a hybrid Mercury retrograde that spans Capricorn and Sagittarius. Reflecting on achieved goals, unresolved matters (Capricorn), and personal growth (Sagittarius) during this introspective period aids in integrating experiences. ☿℞♑︎

❄️ Venus moves into Scorpio on December 4th, embracing intense and passionate energy, contrasting its usual harmonious charm. Scorpio seeks all-encompassing love and authenticity, forgoing superficiality. ♀->

❄️ The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 12th initiates a journey of self-discovery. Yet, amidst Sagittarius' spontaneity, maintaining practicality becomes essential to avoid unrealistic expectations.

❄️ Capricorn Season, commencing on December 21st and culminating on January 20th, emphasizes wisdom and authenticity, transitioning from Sagittarius' exuberance to grounded stability without compromising the festive spirit.

❄️ The Full Moon in Cancer on December 26th encourages nurturing familial connections and introspection. Reflecting on the past six months helps in closure while fostering the inner child's needs.

❄️ The transition of Venus from Scorpio to Sagittarius on December 29th signifies a romantic shift towards liberation, adventure, and spontaneity, influenced by Sagittarius' expansive nature.

Welcome to the Shadow of the Eclipse

October 4-31, 2023

Some introductory notes

The “shadow of the eclipse” is a time period lasting from 10 days before the first eclipse, to three days after the final eclipse. It is recommended not to start anything new, or schedule anything important, during these days - as usual I refer everyone to the 1981 wedding of Lady Diana Spencer to the Prince of Wales, as an example.

Of course we live in a place/time which scoffs at letting astrology help with the timing of events - therefore don’t lose hope if something falls unavoidably within the eclipse shadow. Just be prepared.

I wanted to take a more thorough approach to delineation, this time. I hope it’s helpful.

South Node Solar Eclipse

A solar eclipse happens when the New Moon lies close (in the Zodiac) to either the North Lunar Node, or to the South one. It occurred to me to do a little research on whether which Node is involved, makes any difference - and yes, it does.

Astrologers call the South Node “the dragon’s tail” - Steven Forrest calls the South Node, “the dragon’s butt” - because here we are “pooping out” what we don’t need and can’t use. (One person’s poop, however, is another person’s fertilizer.)

Eclipses conjunct the South Lunar Node, like the October 14 one, have an outflowing (outpooping?) of energy. They tend to feature external events which we have to “rise up to.”

If you’d like to note how these have affected you in the past (always a good idea to check “what happened last time”), here is a list of the previous South Node solar eclipses in this century:

December 14, 2001, 22°56’ Sagittarius

December 4, 2002, 11°58’ Sagittarius

November 23, 2003, 1°14’ Sagittarius

October 14, 2004, 21°06’ Libra

October 3, 2005, 10°19’ Libra

September 22, 2006, 29°20’ Virgo

September 11, 2007, 18°25’ Virgo

August 1, 2008, 9°32’ Leo

July 22, 2009, 29°27’ Cancer

July 11, 2010, 19°24’ Cancer

June 1, 2011, 11°02’ Gemini

July 1, 2011, 9°12’ Cancer

May 20, 2012, 0°21’ Gemini

May 10, 2013, 19°31’ Taurus

April 29, 2014, 8°52’ Taurus

March 20, 2015, 29°27’ Pisces

March 9, 2016, 18°56’ Pisces

February 26, 2017, 8°12’ Pisces

February 15, 2018, 27°08’ Aquarius

January 6, 2019, 15°25’ Capricorn

December 26, 2019, 4°07’ Capricorn

December 14, 2020, 23°08’ Sagittarius

December 4, 2021, 12°22’ Sagittarius

October 25, 2022, 2°00’ Scorpio

October 14, 2023, 21°08’ Libra

Going down that list was a very uncomfortable trip down memory lane for me. When those South Node eclipses affected me, it was generally a harbinger of some difficult “external event” which I had little to no control over - which is not the same thing as saying “it wasn’t my fault.” I brought some of it on myself due to bad decisions. Some karma chickens coming home to roost, in other words. Not all of them were dire, though. One in particular gave me something of a respite from what had been happening in my life - it was conjunct my natal 12th House cusp.

Saros Series “7 South”

This eclipse is part of Saros Series “7 South.” Bernadette Brady writes,

The individual experiencing this series will find that huge obstacles will suddenly and easily clear or, on the negative side, a pending potential crisis will suddenly manifest and move through his or her life very rapidly. Either way the individual will feel that everything is moving at great speed. (The Eagle and the Lark)

Previous Saros “7 South” eclipses in Ms M’s lifetime:

September 11, 1969, 18°53’ Virgo

September 23, 1987, 29°34’ Virgo

October 3, 2005, 10°19’ Libra

Not quite as depressing for me personally.

Whatever Shall We Do?

1) Determine which of your natal houses this eclipse falls in.

2) Determine whether the eclipse makes an aspect to anything in your chart. Use a 1° orb. In my case, the conjunctions, squares, sesquiquads (135°), inconjuncts, and oppositions made the most obvious impacts.

3) If there is a close aspect to a planet, check to see which house(s) that planet rules. One South Node eclipse was conjunct the ruler of my natal 4th House, and I moved three months later.

4) Avoid strenuously negative thoughts. If you put a lot of energy into anticipating that something is going to be horrible and painful and disastrous, well, guess what - that’s exactly what’s going to happen. If you catch yourself falling into a panic, try to refocus the energy into “the best possible outcome.”

Week of 11/25 - 12/1

astrology forecast + collective tarot card for the week

Card for this week: the High Priestess - big ~intuition~ week. your subconscious mind has some wisdom for you in the midst of the chaos. you may feel a pretty strong inner knowing or need to re-center (meditate, journal, take some alone time) to connect with your inner self this week, listen to those instincts! you could get some long-awaited clarity.

Transits/Astro forecast: in the spirit of continuing the analogy- if last week was the vibe of moving to a brand new apartment and just Getting The Hell Out of There, this week is when you set everything down and realize nothing works properly yet. you're exhausted and sit down to watch some tv, and the wifi doesn't connect. the new space is full of potential, but right now you're recognizing that you don't yet know where you are. which local restaurants are your faves? what's the best shortcut to the grocery store? what are you doing here? but it is often through the hardships of the new that we leave behind the slog of the old.

this week, we're staying focused on turning the page, but we're continually aware of what we're leaving behind. mercury retrograde starts promptly on monday (you may recall the crazy ass august mercury retrograde....picking back up some of those pieces......), we're super close to mars going retrograde, pluto has moved into aquarius, there's a new moon in sagittarius this weekend. in short: expect anything. inspiration can and will come from any direction! current retrogrades are mercury, jupiter, chiron, uranus, and neptune.

monday 11/25 - mercury stations retrograde in sagittarius - won't lie to y'all, this is looking like a mess. mercury is least happy (detriment) in sagittarius already, and then we're adding a retrograde to it. wrapping up Q4 and going into the holidays/traveling, anticipate that there will be snags. double check itineraries, submittals, attachments, so on. reflect, slow down, ponder, journal. could be a revival of themes from august's mercury retrograde. and if you do nothing else, please make sure to give yourself extra time to get anywhere. mercury retrograde will be until 12/15, prepare as you can.

wednesday 11/27 - sun trine mars, venus square chiron - you're energized today and ready to get moving! confidence is shining through and you're ready to get into exciting new pursuits. last time we had this sun/mars transit was end of january 2023, if that conjures any topical memories. in parallel, relational wounds are coming to the surface to be addressed too. we had venus squaring chiron at the beginning of february and the beginning of july this year, look to those timeframes to see which hurts pertaining to partnership may be resurfacing to be addressed.

saturday 11/30 - new moon in sagittarius - adventure finds us once more this sagittarius season, really embodying this new chapter with this lunation. really feels like we're being sent on the hero's journey this sag season and today we're asked to set the itinerary for the road ahead. where would you like to go! the coming weeks are looking a bit chaotic (outer planets shifting, retrogrades, holiday season, so on), anticipate getting real about your circumstances. expand your horizons! see what isn't working! set out with no expectations for where you'll end up! the vibe is moodboarding and conceptualizing the unknown, execution/follow through might require some patience (exacts can wait until capricorn season).

Worm Moon - March 7 2023

The world is thawing and spring will soon be sprung. Dust off your garden tools and get ready for the Worm Moon!

Worm Moon

The Worm Moon is the name given to the full moon which occurs in the month of March in the Northern Hemisphere. The name is taken from the renewed visible presence of earthworms, which begin to bubble up in gardens and on sidewalks as the spring thaw approaches and increased temperatures and rainfall loosen the soil enough for them to emerge. And of course, this is accompanied by the presence of spring harbingers like robins and local songbirds, who are very happy to see this renewed bounty.

The March moon, if it occurs prior to the spring equinox, is also the Lenten Moon, named for the Christian holiday of Lent. Indigenous names for this moon include Goose Moon (Algonquin and Cree), Sugar Moon (Ojibwe), Sap Moon (Shawnee), and Crow Comes Back Moon (Northern Ojibwe).

What Does It Mean For Witches?

Full moons are both the beginning and end of the lunar cycle. With the Worm Moon, we can look forward to the beginning of spring and the yearly harvest cycle. So now is the perfect time for seasonal divination, plans for the coming months, and the setting of goals for the future, both short-term and long-term. You can also check in with goals you may have set back in January and record your progress. (Remember - even a little progress is still progress!)

If you're an observer of astrology, you might be interested to know that Saturn and several other planets are experiencing transitions this month, some of them for the first time in several years. For those who work in celestial spheres, this may herald a long-awaited breath of fresh air and (hopefully) positive changes to come.

What Witchy Things Can We Do?

The Worm Moon heralds the imminent start of the planting season. If you've got green fingers, now is the time to begin planning your garden for the season. Prepare your sprouting trays and browse your favorite seed catalog for inspiration.

As the Spring Equinox approaches (March 20th), this is a good time to start putting together any seasonal observances you'd like to make. It's also time for that all-important spring cleaning, so open up those windows on a warm day and air out all the staleness from winter. As you scrub and dust and declutter, you can also magically cleanse your space of stagnant, disruptive, or unwanted things, replacing them with your own energy and your good wishes and goals for the upcoming season.

Consider also how you can change or begin new routines and habits to improve your life, make better choices, streamline your schedule, or just give yourself a much-needed break. If there's something hanging around that no longer serves you, now is the time to consider bidding it adieu and moving forward to a new path.

This is also an excellent time for spells focused on fertility, optimism, and new growth. It's important to remember that fertility spells don't just have to focus on procreation. They can also be geared toward planting, creating, opportunity, inspiration, motivation, prosperity, abundance, and anything that requires nurturing and productivity.

The season of growth and renewal is upon us, so it's time to Ready, Set, GROW!

Happy Worm Moon, witches! 🌕🌱

Hi I would like astrology reading please and thank you

Can I have a future spouse reading?

DOB:June 27, 2001

Time: 5:53 pm

Place of birth: Gary, Indiana (USA)

Hi😊 For your reading I am going to use mostly vedic astrology.

In D1 chart taurus jupiter is transiting your taurus 7th house including mercury and saturn, this indicates you might meet your fs or long term partner this year, maybe through business together(7th house) or intellectual pursuits (mercury). Due to 7th house this could actually be a twinflame mirroring you.

Moreover Pisces Rahu is transiting your 5th house of dating/romance, indicating a new romantic partner (happen suddenly/fast); could be someone different/unique or from a different culture/ethnicity/country. This could also mean focusing on your creative/spiritual hobbies/passion/having fun during this transit (you could meet him through these themes). With ketu affecting your 11th house virgo moon you will probably detach from your  emotions related to social engagement, society, groups/friendships and community service activities, superficial connections(reflecting), etc.

Saturn in aquarius is transiting your 4th house aspecting Natal taurus mercury and saturn in 7th house by 4th aspect which indicates strong, stable and serious relationships will be important and communication/honesty is relevant to overcome misunderstandings and obstacles. Delays in relationship (like you can start talking to each other after a while; one of you might be shy/not opening up right away) could also manisfest.

NOTE1: Taurus jupiter is transiting until next year 9 june 2025 so 2025 is a good chance as well.

MOON CHART (considering moon as rising)

You have ketu/rahu in virgo/pisces transiting 1st/7th house axis from moon, which affects your identity/emotions(detachment) and relationships, emphasis on the later (self reflection).

D9 CHART

In your D9 your 7th lord mars (spouse accordingly to naadi astrology) is in aquarius 5th house being affected by aquarius saturn transit which displays spouse might be going through some conflicts regarding restriction of freedoom/pursuing creative goals/relationships and responsibilities/society expectations. Though this could also indicate your spouse will be more serious regarding his hobbies/goals and dating/relationships.

D7 CHART

Looking at your D7 chart you have saturn 7th lord in aquarius in 8th house conjunct ketu and rahu conjunct sun in leo 2nd house. This could mean a transformative relationship, where you might have struggles around your personal values/ambitions and partnerships, specially when it comes to money and sharing resources; freedom vs union; social/society responsibilities vs creative goals/values; financial stability vs spiritual growth; healing wounds related to finances and intimacy. Not just that but you could be meeting a past life partner, twinflame or an ex (getting back or get closure).

When jupiter, saturn, rahu/ketu are transiting in the same or opposite sign of sun, saturn, rahu/ketu in D7 chart it indicates a major event might happen during this time of your life like meeting your future spouse or a partner, engagement, pregnancy, career,success,fame, breakup, divorce, moving out, etc.(This technique is by Camila Regina from tiktok).  

DASHA/TIME PERIODS

You are running saturn-rahu dasha from 2023 till 24 may 2026. If we dig deeper you are currently on saturn -rahu- venus (venus love and 7th lord in D1; saturn is your 7th lord in D7) till 16 january 2025. For this time period I am leaning towards eclipse season in september pisces that will affect your 5th house and also the solar eclipse virgo in october.

Then you also have good chances in 2025 when you go through your gemini jupiter return (you have jupiter DK👀) in may; saturn in pisces will transit your 5th house in D1 chart ( serious dating/relationships).

In 2026 you will enter rahu-saturn-jupiter dasha from 6 january till  24 may which is also beneficial for marriage.

If you want to know specific time periods or more (doubts) you can DM me. 

NOTE2: Remember that we might have many soulmates and potential long term partners.

SOLAR RETURN

From the conversation we had before I am going to use solar return of 2025/2026.

From the 7th lord sign and 7th house energy we can see what kind of person you will meet,  probably one of his big 3 placements and how your relationship would be.

You actually have 7th house in cancer with your 7th lord moon and mercury which means this would be a very emotional connection based on communication about feelings, intuition, nurture, sensibility, intellectual compatibility, understanding, listening; soulmate energies, etc.  There could be some misunderstandings, one can assume what the other person feels or one might not express feelings openly, etc.

Your partner could be emotional, sweet, childlike, youthful, motherly, oversensitive, close to his mother/family/siblings, loves home, arts, nature, cooking and water(beach/ocean/lake/etc); caring, nurturing, intuitive communicator, generous, overgiving, (exploitation), mommy issues, goal oriented, playful, flirty, spiritual, anxious, analyse his emotions (careful with balance between reason and emotions), etc.

You will know exactly what the other one is thinking, have cozy home/family dates, cooking together, netflix and chill, playful teasing, cuddling together, warm hugs; words of affirmation, acts of service and physical touch are present, etc.

This could also indicate you will feel a strong urge to get in a relationship.

(BTW you have groom asteroid there, in western is spouse/husband 👀)

These aspects I had to research a bit more:

Now 7th lord moon is aspecting  aquarius rahu in 2nd house by 6th aspect so this can show difficulties in balancing the emotional needs and financial responsibilities/material values, conflicts around money/priorities; emotional spending; unconventional values around money(different -> society expectations); self worth could be compromised,etc.

This could be eased by communicating openly, evaluate priorities, setting boundaries, and seek professional help from financial advisors, etc.

One of his big 3 placements could be same or opposite sign of 7th lord so cancer or capricorn. (If you meet him before your birthday he could have libra/aries)

DARAKARAKA

In regards to your gemini mrigashira Jupiter Darakaraka in 8th house conjunct ardra sun and rahu your spouse could embody these characteristics: intense, blunt, striking, recognized, influential, persuasive, transformative, chaotic emotions/mind, intelectual, emotional,  curious, communicative, flirty,  charming, dualistic, flexible, talented, mimicking impressions, attractive, open minded, supportive, optmistic, funny, wise, creative, intelligent, wealthy, spiritual,intuitive communicator, writer, psychic; values occult, spirituality, creativity, learning, seeking the truth, knowledge; loves travelling, arts, gadgets and technology; mysterious , lucky, fortunate,curious, researcher, adventurous, jealous, pessimist, lazy, depressive, overgiving, ups/downs in life, possesive, big ego, arrogant, narcissist, know it all, etc.

These aspects I had to research a bit more:

DK is aspecting Sagittarius ketu in 2nd house by 7th aspect which indicates learning deeper truths about spirituality, finances, beliefs, dark/occult themes, intimacy, secrets,trauma,fears, emotions, resources,  family values; personal growth; what is more important material or spiritual. There could be unconventional values around money/investments/financial security; family issues.

Furthermore DK is aspecting virgo moon in 9th house by 4th aspect that shows support and personal growth through learning and exploration, sharing knowledge can help ease misunderstandings and struggles (criticizing/nitpicking) related to intimacy and shared resources.

Lastly DK is aspecting scorpio mars  1st house by 6th aspect which means understanding/discussing deeper truths, feelings about relationships,philosophies,etc; healing/transformation/sharing secrets. However this could cause issues/heated arguments related to freedom/independence (gemini jupiter) and possessiveness/jealousy/codependency (scorpio mars).

7TH LORD D1

Your 7th lord aries krittika venus it's in 6th house. This means your partner could be hot, passionate, blunt/honest, fiery, strong-willed, determined, charming, attractive, nurturing, service oriented, persuasive, assertive, decisive, active, competitive, love sports and fitness, health conscious, creative, adventurous(risks), values daily routine and work (does chores/works in a fast paced way, could be impulsive), agressive, may have health issues related to overindulgence (strong apetite and quick metabolism), quick at solving issues, etc.

These aspects I had to research a bit more:

7th lord is aspecting Sagittarius ketu 2nd house by 9th aspect showing a certain detachment from material possessions vs appreciation for beauty/luxuries, misunderstandings related to love language (might be different and one might feel they don't love the other), unconventional values around finances,  fluctuations (ups/downs); balance between work/health and personal desires;etc.

Finally 7th lord is aspecting scorpio mars 1st house by 8th aspect meaning that the relationship will be very transformative/karmic/intense based on acts of service  taking care of each other, doing meditation, healthy routines, solving daily issues. (but could occur power struggles).

7TH LORD D9

7th lord in D9 nakshatra and sign could also show future spouse characteristics and how will be the marriage.

You have 7th lord mars in aquarius shatabhisha so the marriage will be unconventional (might generate controversy in society), unique, following your dreams/passion, community activities, doing charity; passionate, intense, spiritual, etc; Spouse can be humanitarian, attractive, hot, intense, service oriented, spiritual, healer, supportive, ambitious, strong drive, unique ideas/values, intense, passionate, hardworking, assertive, agressive,activist, creative, active, etc

APPEARANCE + CAREER + SYMBOLISM

When it comes to appearance fs would have big unique defined hands/arms/shoulders; pouty features; thin unique defined big private parts; youthful appearance; defined chest; masculine features; beautiful hair, face, body; balanced features; aesthetically pleasing defined abs; muscular; average to tall height; have reddish or dark features; piercings/tattoos; unique/exotic or exagerated features (ex:large eyes), different culture maybe, etc (You can find more from Camila Regina tiktok🤌)

For your future spouse career I am trying out this tecnique the 10th sign from 7th lord in D1 or D9 could indicate possible fields: 

D1 Capricorn so anything related to leadership, human resources, engineering, medicine, law/legal, real estate, construction, entrepreneur, environment/aggriculture, politics, creative fields involving structure like graphic designer,event planners, father figure, CEO,

D9 Scorpio so anything related to occult, spirituality, healthcare, psychology, counselling, investigative journalism, detective, research and analysis, finances, investment, law enforcement, creative arts, entrepreneur, education, etc

Regarding your meeting, pay attention to symbolisms of these signs: 

Libra: library, fashion, beauty, museum, arts, law, scales, skin, wedding, arranged match, blind date, balance, self care, etc...

Sagittarius: horse, arrow, Bow, education, travel, foreign, OK cupid, shooting, spirituality, museum, adventure, risk, culture, college, etc.

Gemini: social media, online, siblings, friends, books, double date, duplicate, twins, writing, library, school, nervous, science, relatives, group, hands, pen, letter, etc

NOTE3: libra from vedic ; Sagittarius 2x from vedic and tropical chart ; gemini from tropical chart

Do you think Oscar birthday could be in October like Ruby's

Hiya anon-chan! Hmm, that’s not a bad thought. However, this squiggly Pinehead has always been more preferring of the idea of Oscar being either an Easter/Spring-born child as a Taurus horoscope or a New Year Baby.

Originally I had pegged May 15th as a candidate for Oscar’s birthday but the CRWBY showrunners ended up giving that to Weiss. I mean nothing wrong with Oscar sharing a birthday with another one of our main cast of heroes. Still; I think the main consensus is Oscar having his own birthday separate from another character (since he already shares the spotlight with Ozpin, no need for him to share his birthday with another character too!)  Although, him sharing the same astrological sign with another character wouldn’t be bad.  

 January 1st still remains my top pick for a possible birth date for Oscar.

Then again; there is also August 21st that is starting to grow on me. And similar to my Oscar Baby New Year theory, this date also fits for him given his fairytale inspiration.

August 21st is the canonical birthday of Princess Ozma from the Wizard of Oz who Oscar draws inspiration from.

If Oscar shared the same birthday as his Wizard of Oz counterpart then it would make him a Leo horoscope.

If this were canon then Oscar would be the second Leo in our hero group next to Yang Xiao Long whose birthday is July 28th.

I actually think this works quite nicely.  Oscar and Yang do share a few similarities in respect to their personalities and more importantly, their dynamic with Ruby.

And speaking of Ruby---Ruby is a Scorpio as we know her to be.

According to research, the Leo-Scorpio combination is a match of opposites. A Leo is outgoing, warm, and sunny, while a Scorpio is introverted, intense, and emotional. The result of this pairing is a love relationship that will be passionate above all else.

The tidbit about Leo’s being sunny works for Yang obviously since her name literally means “sun” in Chinese and her nickname for her by her father is “sunny little dragon”.

However; some Pineheads have also associated Oscar with the sun and warmth and this contrasts with Ruby who is represented by the moon.

Ruby and Oscar are two smaller, more honest souls who are opposites that also complement each other very well.

Green and Red. Gold and Silver Sun and Moon.

So to actually answer your question m’fam, no I don’t think Oscar’s canonical birthday could be in October like Ruby…since I actually think it would be more fitting if his birthday came before hers in the year.

And as of now, Oscar being a fellow lion born in August--- protective, warm and caring to perfectly contrast yet balance out Ruby (in a much better way than even her older sister by the way) is really, really working for me.

While I will forever love the concept of him being a new year baby, if Oscar is somehow revealed to be a Leo just like Princess Ozma in the Wizard of Oz and just like Yang in RWBY…then I can totally see it. And I totally dig it cause it fits.

But that’s just me. Ya’ll have seen me ping-pong back and forth between a preferred date for the little prince’s day of birth. This is just a new installment.
