🪐Aquarius Mars👽

This mars sign is one of the rarest.

🧠contrary and erratic

👁️ STUBBBBBOOOORRRRRNNNN

🧠Will do whatever they please whenever they please (which may be absolutely nothing)

👁️ A good listener, but rarely takes advice. They always do their own thing.

🧠INCREDIBLY SOLITARY

👁️Kinky fantasies - the weirder the better. Never boring.

🧠some are so kinky that they really can’t share some kinks with ANYONE

👁️ Living in their own little world 🧠Can’t reach them at all sometimes (where the heck are they??)

👁️ concerned with humanitarian causes, yet unable to clean their own house

🧠An idea person more than an action person

👁️ Weirdo (weird isn’t necessarily bad)

🧠Does not want to take the traditional route

👁️ Mystical (but it *varies* - could be extremely Christian perhaps Buddhist or believe in aliens/telepathic communication — you never know)

🧠strong beliefs (whatever they may be)

👁️ Severe aversion to authority

🧠A NUT 🌰

*I am quite curious about this placement. Out of all the birth charts I have accumulated over the years, Aquarius mars was quite a rare placement! And the people who did have it…were some of the strangest and off kilter I have ever met. What happened to y’all?

(Not all aqua mars, of course. Some of y’all are cool af)✨

Virgo is the Great Mother, our Mother Sophia, Mother Maya and our Mother Mary. Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and the first sound a baby makes is usually ‘maaa’, it sounds similar to the ‘mar’ or ‘Mer’ of ‘Mercury’, ‘Maya’ and ‘Mary’. It is a call this Goddess who can always be summoned to one’s presence. 

-The solar water of Pisces can cleanse the mind of the contaminants collected in the past zodiac year and let them drift out to sea. It's Now time - Let it all go.

KEYWORD ORACLES FOR THE FULL VIRGO MOON 22/24

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!

venus in aries • february 20 - march 16, 2023

venus starts a nu cycle thru the zodiac on february 20, 2023 when she goes into fast + fiery aries. during this time, we're going to be making sure that our values reflect who we really are. venus is a receiver while aries is a go-getter, which is why her potential is very much compromised when it's in aries. we can get caught up in chasing relationships and desires that end up running away from us because of the amount of control and force involved. with this transit, we learn that we attract people that reflect our character when we stop chasing and just show up in that energy. because this transit starts off within the same hour of us having a nu moon in pisces, this energy is giving nu beginnings and fresh starts when it comes to becoming "her".

our styles are definitely changing, giving us the confidence that we need to feel hot and sexy. i don't care if your stretch marks are showing, wear dat mini skirt!!! it's time to redefine what being a woman is to you. these days, there's a lot of content about what being a woman "should" look like, but why don't we show the world what being a woman COULD look like in our own font? the return of the dark feminine is here + she's no longer allowing herself to dim her light to make herself digestible to the masses. our roles in our relationships are being highlighted in order to make sure that we aren't being too selfish + actually being collaborative in our connections.

when it comes to finances, abundance comes when you shoot your shot and stop letting fear win over your desired reality. make that first move without chasing. get risky widdit. you should be proud and confident in the your craft if it's really aligned with you. you really never know sht until you try! also, our funds are related to how we treat our bodies and how well we prioritize our health. get into the health + wellness game, babe!

* if you would like to book a cosmic sesh with me, you can do so thru my website <3 MWAH

how to alchemize with venus in aries:

stop denying that breakup that needs to happen

get grounded in your vision

make a pinterest moodboard that reflects your nu style

show up as YOU in your relationships

make that identity switch

work on your confidence - it'll set you free!!

go out + put yourself out there in real life (intentionally)

VENUS RETROGRADE IN LEO

On July 22, 2023, Venus, the planet of love, friendship, money and pleasure will Retrograde in the extravagant sign of Leo. It’s been many years since Venus had its retrogradation in this sign; therefore, it’s considered as a special astrological event. Venus will be very close to the Earth for the next several months until September 3, 2023, for that reason this energy is more internalised and rather heart based (Leo).

Issues regarding self-love and self – value tend to be part of our personal agenda. Themes around our resources, money and our personal self -worth could be revised and reconsidered. We may question our love/marriage relationships, friendship or business partnerships: Are they really aligned with my values and personal needs? Do they (relationships) contribute as much as I do or in contrary…All these issues and questions, mentioned above, will come up within, from the heart, in aim to trigger our independent being, and to invite us to work on and respectively to improve on our self-confidence and image.

On the other hand, this could be a great time to focus our energy on spoiling our inner child; to treat ourself with respect and pleasurable things in life, regardless of outer circumstances, and other influences. It is an encouragement to focus on ‘Me’ first; to be a centre of attention no because of others but for your own sake.

It is a good idea, to take a holiday, to pumper yourself and to enjoy beautiful things in life, but be careful with food, sweets and money spendings which we may tend to over do it with Venus in Leo. Reconnecting with old friend, even ex –partner/lover, intentionally or not, it’s also very possible.

During Venus Retrograde period, Jupiter and Uranus (in Taurus) are making a square aspect with Venus. This could be another conformation for over spendings and over indulgence as well as currency/economic instabilities in a global level. Be careful with beauty treatments; especially, when it comes to drastic body or aesthetic procedures or interventions; postpone such after Venus goes direct, if possible, because things may not go as expected in this regard.

We also tend to express a rebellious behaviour (Uranus) when it comes to love, money and pleasures (Venus) which could be in clash with social norms, personal values and believes (Jupiter). However, artistic ventures (if you are in this field) could be original, attractive, expansive and successful under this energy influence.

Best wishes,

suni astrology

Venus Square Neptune

Venus squares Neptune on June 16

This square can bring up traumas and soul wounds. If you want to heal these issues, you can go deep into these energies. Good time for meditating with the topics that arise that day and asking yourself in meditation: "What is still unhealed ?".

You may feel low self-esteem on this day. On this day, the mind can become gloomy very easily, especially when it comes to self-criticism. Give yourself love. Love yourself unconditionally, don't focus on your faults.

Relationships are in a difficult state on this day as all sorts of issues from the past that need to be resolved can come up. A lot of people break up on this day or have arguments that lead to estrangement.

On this day, it is worth refraining from absolutely all relationship-related conversations in order to not to get hurt or accidentally hurt the other party.

It is a good day for the media industry and its development. People in the film industry are very creative on this day. Inspiration comes easily.

Good day for watching movies, going to the cinema, because the strongest aspect of this planetary position is the amplification of the energy of the film industry.

August 22 Important Dates

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

July recap: The violent, explosive Mars-Uranus conjunction showed up in many prominent news stories last month. Here's a graphic showing its exactness over time by Madeline at honeycomb.co:

Though the conjunction went exact on the 15th, the orb is pretty wide, with the most dramatic events occurring from about July 10th-21st. This was on the fixed star Algol (the head of the demon), which is associated with the death of innocents on a broad level, and Austin provides some historical examples. The most prominent manifestation in July was the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, who was shot in the ear. Mars-Uranus was on his natal Midheaven (23♉), and closely square his natal Mars in the first house (26♌) which in turn conjoins his Ascendant (29♌). The Ascendant/first house connection makes this especially physically dangerous for him as the Ascendant is associated with one's body and physical health. As the highest point in a chart, the Midheaven is associated with public image and prominence, so in going up on a podium Trump really leaned into the transit in an inadvisable way. Chris mentions that there are some remediating factors from benefics that could explain why he survived the encounter an even got a dramatic rallying photo out of it. When the conjunction went exact on his Midheaven, though, the classified documents case against him was suddenly dismissed--a case started when Mars was on this point two years ago. Austin suggests that, due to a natal Sun-Uranus-Rahu conjunction, Trump is probably one of those people for whom Uranus, not quite universally benefic or malefic, works in his favor. The Mars-Uranus conjunction also hits the 10th house/MH of JD Vance, whose Ascendant is 27 Leo, very similar to Trump. Will he regret this choice and go back on his pick of running mate during the upcoming Mercury retrograde?

On July 17th, Biden announced he had COVID; this Mars-Uranus conjunction took place in his 6th house. (Last time Mars was in Taurus was the first time he got COVID.) It also squared his Sun (27♏) pretty closely--any president is playing the role of the Sun--and his Venus (28♏), which rules his 11th house of friends & allies. Indeed many within his own party began to call for him to step down from seeking another term around this time. He finally did so on the 21st, a conclusion to Saturn stationing retrograde on his Imum Coeli during the debate. The most recent time this happened was in 1968 when Lyndon B Johnson stepped down to let RFK run just days after a solar eclipse in Aries--the same sign as the total solar eclipse that darkened much of the US in April. Biden also stepped down during the Full Moon conjunct Pluto, which opposed his own natal Leo Pluto--last month our hosts had discussed how that generation may need to finally let go of power. Mercury (26♌) was also square Uranus (26♉) at the time, and indeed this was a shocking communication for many, including the Republican party which had just spent the last week strategizing how to beat him. Mars had also just entered Gemini, Biden's natal 7th house of partnerships and Harris's natal 1st, while Jupiter (12♊) sextiled Venus (12♌)--the most positive transit of the month. Thus we have the end of a political career for one candidate and the start of a new chapter for another--and hope for the Democrats now that they have someone other than an obviously senile candidate. Mars being copresent with Jupiter in Harris's first house heralds well for competition, and indeed she's more popular now than she ever was. Also notable is that Harris and Trump were both born on a Full Moon (as was RKF Jr!). On a mundane level, the Mars-Uranus conjunction squared the US Sibly chart Moon (27♒)...and Uranus will be there during the election cycle and beyond. Austin cautions that Uranus-Algol significations are not over just because Mars has now left the sign. The upcoming eclipse in September will likely bring more dramatic changes.

Another notable story is the Crowdstrike outage, the largest computer outage in history, affecting air traffic control, hospitals, and other heavy infrastructure. This occurred right as Mercury joined Mars & Uranus, and additionally entered the shadow period (degree to which he will regress) to his upcoming retrograde. The company is based in the path of the eclipse in April, which aligns with the path of Hurricane Beryl that ravaged much of the country in early July. Austin says as the sign of exaltation of the Sun, Aries eclipses are especially tough on leaders and indeed we have seen quite a few attempted and successful assassinations this eclipse season (said to be in effect for about 6 months). Other Mars-Uranus in Taurus stories include the Houthi drone attack near the US embassy in Israel and ensuing Isareli missile attack back on a Yemeni port, the ICJ ruling Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories illegal, a political leader assassinated in Ukraine, and student protests against the government in Bangladesh. Saturn-Neptune has brought some AI deepfake controversies, and on July 29th Biden proposed Supreme Court reforms including term limits and a code of ethics, which Chris connects to Jupiter (judges) & Saturn (constraints) coming within 5 degrees of an exact square. Austin connects Justice Department events to events in Leo, the 9th house (legal system) of the US Sibley chart, such as Mercury's upcoming retrograde. Jupiter squares Saturn in December and we may see some dramatic events with the Supreme Court then (in 2000 it decided the outcome of the election). Mars moves into Leo the day of the election and then stations early in December, further indicating confusing events around the US election late this year. It's also a recurrence of Venus opposing Jupiter on election day in 2000...but let's get to the forecast.

Forecast

August is full of dramatic T-squares and a bunch of crazy alignments. Here's a graphic by Madeline at honeycomb.co:

Chris breaks it into 4 parts: first, Mercury retrograde in Virgo and into Leo. The second week is dominated by Mars conjoining Jupiter in Gemini and squaring Saturn (which leads into the DNC...👀). The third week sees the Jupiter-Saturn square go exact, with Venus swooping in to activate Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars. Both benefics and both malefics are all struggling for dominance. Finally, at the end of the month Mercury stations direct sextile Jupiter, bringing some events to completion, while Venus leaves Virgo for her home sign of Libra. Mutable signs are especially affected this month, especially middle degrees.

August 4th - New Moon in Leo, Venus enters Virgo In the Sun's sign, this is an especially supportive New Moon with a sextile from Jupiter (15♊). Things are clearing up in the fixed signs! However, the impending Mercury retrograde in Virgo casts a shadow of impending confusion.

The New Moon also occurs with Venus in late Leo, which Chris points out is Donald Trump's ascendant and to expect further developments like reconsidering his choice of running mate.

August 5th - Mercury stations retrograde Mercury is already very slow at the beginning of the month, and stations at 4 degrees of Virgo, and will eventually bring this energy back into Leo/fixed signs as well. Common Mercury rx themes are revisiting ideas from the past, people coming back into your life, and rethinking decisions. Also delays, detours, setbacks, technical issues, travel disruptions, and for individuals moments of introspection. It's a good time to reevaluate the words we use to describe things. The station starts within squaring distance of Mars, suggesting it may start with conflict before things clear up during the cazimi on the 18th.

August 7th - Mercury (rx) conjunct Venus She gives him a helping hand early in his retrograde--a moment of sweetness or repair. Venus doesn't necessarily prefer to spend her afternoon this way, especially in her sign of fall, but it's helpful for Mercury (who's calling the shots). However, Mars and Jupiter are now already within 3 degrees of conjunction--the range at which we began to see dramatic events for the Mars-Uranus conjunction in July.

August 14th - Mars conjunct Jupiter, Mercury regresses into Leo Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, and Venus are all looking at another in one way or another in a T-square for much of the month. Mars and Jupiter can give us triumphant victory and enthusiasm--exceptional quarterback Tom Brady has this conjunction natally. Mars and Jupiter also represent war and peace respectively, which bodes ill for current conflicts. Explosions and guns are also signified here: the largest non-nuclear explosion, in a Beirut warehouse, occurred under a Mars-Jupiter square. Mars-Jupiter means aggressive expansion, but with Saturn poised to square each of them in turn later this month, we'll soon run into barriers. Beware excessive confidence; it can backfire. In economic significations, Obama signed in his 2009 stimulus package under this configuration, as did Congress in 2020 (this also influenced by other major configurations, including Saturn).

August 15th/16th - Mars square retrograde Saturn Mars-Saturn is traditionally one of the most difficult alignments due to their malefic natures. Keywords include frustration, blocks and restrictions, such as the lockdowns of March & April of 2020. Mars-Saturn is hitting the brakes and the gas at the same time (and occurs right after Jupiter-Mars had the pedal to the medal). We also see fighting authority or restriction, rebellion and repression, stress-testing structures and burnout after being pushed past our limits. Mars-Saturn will definitely help you discover your limits, with Mars pushing as Saturn brings the wall. We want Jupiter's offers and rewards, but we must move carefully through disputed terrain. Mars-Saturn is a helpful configuration for aggressive discipline and relentlessness. If you're pushing physical limits during this time, do so incrementally. Additionally, with Saturn in Pisces we've seen a lot of water disasters like the Key Bridge collapse and the submarine disaster. However, with Mars in an air sign we may see an overlap in difficulties across multiple modes of transformation, especially with Mercury retrograde. It's safe to say we'll see shipping issues during this time, and a patron in the chat suggests hurricanes. In politics and extreme manifestations, Mars-Saturn squares can indicate political assassinations like that of Shinzo Abe in 2022.

August 18th - Retrograde Mercury cazimi Occurring at 26 degrees of Leo, this is the halfway point of the retrograde and occurs shortly after Mercury squares Uranus. Things start to clear up and turn around in the retrograde story. However, now Venus starts activating all this Mars-Saturn-Jupiter stuff. She's applying to a square with Mars which is interrupted by contacts to other planets, but we'll be feeling the buildup to it in the background.

August 19th - Full Moon in Aquarius, Venus opposite Saturn (Rx), both square Jupiter Based on past events, Jupiter square Saturn may bring economic contraction despite optimistic unemployment/inflation reports in the US (A/N: imo whatever good reports Chris is seeing are definitely a total load). Regardless, some of the seeds planted in 2020 during the Saturn-Jupiter conjunction in Aquarius will come to fruition this month. Jupiter-Saturn keywords include the new vs. the old and optimism vs. pessimism, especially when configured by a square and working at cross-purposes. Jupiter raises possibilities while Saturn brings the grim reality--will one side win out in a compromise, or will we found ourselves at an impasse? Chris predicts this will affect the Democratic National Convention. Other keywords include the law and courts, being held back from progress, cutting back after aggressive expansion, and indecision if growth and boundaries can't be reconciled.

This Full Moon will bring dramatic endings and beginnings, as did the one in July with Biden stepping down. The DNC starts on this day, and Chris predicts some event in the preceding days will cast a shadow over it (as was the case with Trump's assassination attempt and the RNC). Venus opposes Saturn and squares Jupiter right on this lunation, just after a Mercury cazimi square Uranus, and the Full Moon itself squares Uranus. The Venus-Mars square will go exact right as the DNC ends--expected the unexpected at Harris's likely acceptance speech. Austin describes this as a switcheroo, where it feels like Venus-Mars and then pivots to Venus-Saturn before going to Venus-Mars again.

August 22nd - Sun in Virgo, Venus square Mars Venus-Mars squares brings passion, both for romance and fighting. Sex scandals often come to light under this alignment. Mars will pass 21Gemini22, the degree he's at in the Sibley chart, right before the square to Venus, so US politics will be affected strikingly. Mars-Venus can bring us a battle of the sexes and gender-based warfare, and if it's a Trump-Harris race we'll likely see these themes take prominence. The Venus-Saturn opposition also occurs right on Harris's own natal Venus (which rules her Sun) and Saturn (12th house ruler) is transiting her 10th house now, so we're definitely going to see big developments with her (Mars transiting her first house indicates conflict or competition).

There are a lot of parallels to 1968 right now: the nodes are repeating, with eclipses in the same signs, and the Venus cycle is repeating. Already mentioned is Johnson stepping down after an eclipse. We've also had high-profile assassinations and attempts again, student antiwar protests, and a repeat of DNC being in Chicago--in 1968 the convention was marred by police brutalizing antiwar protestors. We've also got another Kennedy running for president and may see a third-party candidate having significant effect on the election (our hosts go into detail on other examples). Austin reminds us that these events will affect the whole world. As other astrologers are also pointing out, none of the indicators point towards a simple, clear election for the United States.

August 28th - Mercury stations direct The chaos is beginning to die down at this point. Mercury stations sextile Jupiter (17♊) with reception, relieving some of the tension. Enjoy a brief respite after the August storm before those of the fall.

August 29th - Venus enters Libra She's been separating from the T-square and is now in a new sign. She's now moving towards a trine with Jupiter (and away from Saturn in Virgo!), bringing some support to us.

On September 1st, Uranus will station at 27 Taurus, intensifying his significations, and Pluto regresses into Capricorn for the final time (in ~200 years). Pluto enters Aquarius for good in November, ending a 15-year transit through Capricorn (since 2008-9). Mars also shifts into Cancer early September, setting up an extended stay in that sign and Leo.

☽ in ♉️

☽ ☌ ♃

Moon in Taurus allows us to slow down and appreciate the smaller details in life. With the moon Conjunct Jupiter, we may feel a little lazier, self-indulgent, and feeling impatient with the things we want to obtain. We also may feel artistic, generous & able.

The Taurus Lunar Eclipse: Ease is Acceptable 🕯🍂🧘🏾‍♀️

THIS IS THE WORK OF TAROTLADYTALKS LLC. PLEASE DO NOT STEAL MY WORK OR REPOST WITHOUT CREDIT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Hello,

The Lunar Eclipse in Taurus will be upon us on between 11/7/22-11/8/22. The Penumbral Eclipse is set to begin on 11/8 at 08:02:15 UTC (according to timeanddate.com). This will be a total lunar eclipse & the Blood Moon. Astronomically, that means the Earth will be situated between the Sun & Moon, while Earth's shadows (umbra, penumbra, and antumbra) will cover the moon. Yet, since the Sun's beams are still powerful, the Sun's rays will be bent by Earth's atmosphere with some refracting back to the surface of the Moon, making the Moon a reddish color.

Astrologically, this is a lunar North Node eclipse as the Moon will be in conjunct to the current Taurus NN. I read that this will signify expansion and challenges that will push us to what we need to learn, as the NN intends for us to do. I will link the sources I read below. On a collective scale, I do think we are pushing towards a more comfortable, slow, peaceful era while the NN is in Taurus. Have you noticed so many people doing cooking, gardening, wanting to eat healthy, loving to stay in more, and wanting to engage in their sensual side? This is only going to be more prominent I think as the Lunar Eclipse comes & passes, especially since the Moon will be in the exalted sign of Taurus. On a personal scale, look at where the Lunar Eclipse is transiting in your natal/progressed chart and note any exact aspects or close (orb of between 1-3) aspects on your personal planets or angles (AC, DC, IC, MC). This lunar eclipse in particular may be a show as the Moon will be conjunct Uranus rx, opposite Mercury and Venus, and square Saturn. All in fixed signs....yeah. Also (and maybe more importantly) look at the house it's happening in. Those themes are going to be at the forefront. For example, if the eclipse is happening in your 6H, are you comfortable with your health routine, job, daily life, and with the way people show up for you? Are you satisfied with that? If the Eclipse moon will be in exact conjunction to your natal MC (Taurus MC) are you at peace with the trajectory of your career or public reputation? Do you feel like people are trying to put you on a pedestal that you don't want? What do YOU expect from your own reputation? To surmise it all: we are not trying to go hard or go home anymore. We want to cater to our feminine side more now. We want to make life easy because why does it need to be hard all the time? Why does life have to be so fast-paced? For what? What are you accomplishing trying to rush vs. taking your time? I don't know about yall, but I feel that heavily. With Moon square Saturn (and Moon opposite Venus), it may feel like a push and pull, esp with outside expectations. Yet, these aspects are also ideal solidifying the routines you want in your life that make you feel comfortable & standing 20 toes down on it. And as Mercury is in the mix & Mercury being in opposition to Uranus, don't be surprised if you have these random thoughts of "You know what, I don't like that." or "You know, I would much rather eat a gallon of ice cream at home then be here right now & I don't give a damn what yall think." And if it were me, don't be afraid to say it neither. With the Moon in conjunct to Uranus, if random emotions come up, let it. Your soul deep down is trying to get you to reflect on what you've been tolerating vs. what you actually want. This is mainly on a collective scale, also take into consideration what is happening in your own chart.

Alright, I'm tired now actually lol. See ya soon!!
