Saturn conjunct Neptune lessons! In my mid thirties and just before they join again, it feels like this understanding is finally beginning to look more embodied. 🌀

aries season invited us to be completely honest about our current purpose so that we can honor that by directing our focus towards it.

taurus season is inviting us to stand on business, despite what is being projected out into the fear matrix. don’t let money trick you out of your spot. standing on business makes you a powerful magnet for attracting the resources you need to experience the blossoming of your seeds.

advice for the season

ꕥ challenge yourself to listen to abundance subliminals, money count asmr, and venus frequencies

ꕥ eat consciously and be mindful of overconsumption

ꕥ participate in mother wound healing

ꕥ move your body. daily movement is medicine

ꕥ create without the pressure of posting

ꕥ make a ritual out of (self) lovemaking

ꕥ incorporate cycle syncing into your lifestyle

ꕥ protect your energy by only hanging around people that value themselves. people that don’t value themselves are naturally parasitic and will drain your light to fuel themselves, even if it is unintentional

Thank you for reading! My creative energy has been busy elsewhere but I’d like to try to post educational and fun content on the astrological archetypes sometimes. Might occasionally have thoughts to share on the transits too. Your support lets me know what I can create that’s useful for this community. Cheers! 🌻

Just wild that we live in a world this technologically advanced, yet we haven’t figured out how to not get millions of innocent people killed in the conflicts between governments. Wild that all it takes is declaring a ceasefire, but formalities make the bombing need to continue until then. Beautiful that Venus conjunct Saturn falls alongside the authorities negotiating peace, but ugly as hell who and what controls our world.

They couldn’t fulfill one of the two stuffed crust cheese pizzas in my grocery delivery order today, so substituted me a rising crust cheese pizza instead. Venus is on my ascendant (RISING ♓️) today and the Moon in Pisces is there 🌅 too. Astrology is constantly proving itself 🤩 - sometimes in clear and amusing ways, not just haunted poetry only for the person living it to truly verify. 😂

Not a popular opinion, but I actually agree with Christians who say “Christ should be kept in Christmas” and think “Christmas” is a word for them, and the 25th is *their* holyday and I’d rather not see it made into a big commercialized thing for us all. I’d much prefer to just celebrate on the Solstice! All I ask in return from Christians is recognition that many Winter traditions weren’t originally Christian in origin, so one can still utilize these traditions without calling them Christmas traditions.

The Christians stole the winter solstice from the pagans, and capitalism stole it from the Christians.

Love! Some of the most generous people I’ve known have been Leos (usually Suns and Mercurys but noticed it with other placements like rising, Moon, and Venus too). But the energy and function of showing yourself 🌞 can be misunderstood by many. People that feel shame about their own personal expression may read it as dominance and conceit, but in a lot of cases, it’s just expressing what’s on the heart and what moves them, because to not do so would be like not breathing. The personal transparency is uplifting to be around in Leos I’ve loved. 🌞

Leos can initially come across as dominating and intimidating, but as you get to know them, their fiery demeanor softens. They begin to relax, let loose, and share their infectious laughter. At their core, Leo is pure heart, radiating trust and openness. Yet, wearing their heart on their sleeve often leaves them vulnerable to heartbreak.

Rejection cuts Leo deeply, lingering in their thoughts as they fear history repeating itself. As a fixed sign, they can become stuck in their own heads, dwelling on the rare moments of rejection instead of celebrating the countless times they were embraced and loved.

But thankfully for the world, Leo’s need for love and their natural generosity always prevail. Their heart cannot remain hidden for long—it was never made to beat in silence. Leo’s heart exists to be shared, to be heard, and to inspire love in others.

Election Day in the US today, an event that has the whole world watching since power (Pluto) on a global scale lies so disproportionately in the hands of the US government. Pluto is currently hanging out in the last little stretch of the last degree of Capricorn, and when it enters Aquarius again in a couple weeks, it will be the third and final re-entrance (following some chaotic retrogrades!) to Pluto’s new zodiac domain ♒️ for the next 18 1/2 years!

I also find it very fitting that the Moon is in Capricorn ♑️ today, placing an emotional spotlight on topics of authority and corruption, and probably giving many people thoughts that it all feels too close to home. 🌙 I meant what I said in this former post, that I have come to associate all outer planets in Capricorn, starting with the ones that were big in the charts of us Pluto in Scorpios/millennials, with various corporate interests and developments, on a world scale. And PLUTO in Capricorn has felt like the big summarization of it all; specifically it has involved much revealing of corruptions that have accompanied this corporate rise of power. 💀

Pluto’s aspects today also make a ton of sense to me given the current events! Pluto is still tightly opposite Mars (ppl are riled up! 😤), but also trine Uranus (that’s the hope of change in the direction of progress!) and in harmonious aspects (sextile and trine) with the Nodes “of fate”. I’m also noticing that the Scorpio Sun ♏️ today has only a trine to Saturn. In the sign of power ♏️ that Pluto rules, the Sun is casting a light on new structures and authorities. 🪐

I also checked the astrology of presidential Inauguration Day in January 2025. Found PLUTO IN AQUARIUS tightly conjunct the SUN 🌞, freshly in Aquarius.

Don’t underestimate how incredibly significant Pluto is, especially on a societal or global scale. The final frontier of sorts, nothing ever transforms in our world without astrology that shows Pluto’s involvement.

Pluto in Scorpio gen-

I think it’s largely gonna be up to us to try to clean up the mess from Pluto in Capricorn. While corporations ran wild with the most insane power they ever had during Pluto in Capricorn, I also see that Pluto over those years has helped to reveal what was being buried from us, making the general public aware about all this corporate corruption.

I hope that Pluto in Aquarius, the sign of society’s water bearer, can ultimately help pave the way to societies where the power is at least a little more in the hands of the people. And we need the influence of people with Pluto at home♏️ in their charts to achieve this (the generation also known as millennials that are getting old enough to become politicians or hold other high ranking positions in society).

I think it’s really interesting that there was such an emphasis on other outer planets in Capricorn during the Pluto in Scorpio period when millennials were born. Neptune was in Capricorn over the vast majority of Pluto in Scorpio, and Uranus was in Capricorn for over half of it. Saturn in Capricorn also happened during about the middle range of Pluto in Scorpio, and Saturn’s meeting with Neptune and/or Uranus during these few years provided another influence to increase the desire and advantage of people in this generation to change the structures we have known.

Maybe all this understanding of Capricorn’s influence with generational planets that reflect society, can help those of us with Pluto in Scorpio to remedy the mess that Pluto in Capricorn made society so aware of.

Pluto in Aquarius will square the Plutos of all of us with Pluto in Scorpio at some time during its transit over the next 19 years. But no seriously substantial transformation in society has taken place without people being pushed to action by *tense* dynamics.

Get ready to be the change you want to see, fellow Pluto in Scorpios/millennials! And screw anyone saying we don’t have what it takes! The planet that transforms societal corruption is AT HOME in our charts! And I already see the ways millennials are not only helping to transform society, but the ways that so many are transforming their family lines; which is where it all starts. There’s a reason we’re called “The therapy generation”. It definitely seems to me that we are the first generation to put as much deliberation as we have towards generational trauma, and how to heal it. ❤️‍🩹

Every time I hear debating about whether it’s Venus or Mars that “represents” sex, I want to say, “they both figure strongly into it!” Further more, as much as people want to try to simplify topics; a topic as basic, broad, and fundamental to the existence of life as SEX is not a topic that can be narrowed down strictly to even a couple planets, or parts of the chart.

We don’t just shut off certain parts of us when sex comes into the picture, so for that reason alone, and more specific reasons depending on the planet, there’s actually a good chance that all your planets have at some time, in one way or another, figured into your experience with your sexuality and/or sex life.

But it’s understandable for Venus and Mars to both be seen as planets that figure into sex in the most obvious and straightforward ways. Venus is pleasure, bonding, affection & love, as well as attraction and the aesthetics. Mars is our physical energy, and drive for physical activity and basic instincts including the sex drive. But Mars doesn’t only come into play if one is moving; the friction is also emotional and when you are feeling more fiery types of passion (not only sexual!) and desire that makes you feel more motivated to act in some way, that’s Mars! ❤️‍🔥 (Sidenote: I observe how many people have sexual preferences and fantasies involving aggression/violence to some degree or another, and this further reveals how Mars can figure into sex.)

If you really, really want to try to simplify things a little, you could say that Mars is more the planet to associate with f***ing, while Venus is the planet to associate with making love.

But I don’t even care for simplifying it like that, because I can’t imagine trying to think about sex and astrology at all, without thinking about both Venus and Mars. 🫂😍🫠 ❤️‍🔥⚡️🥵
