🦓 Zebra - Inhale Beauty

Your perspective on current affairs doesn't have to be so black and white. There is more nuance to your situation than you are giving it credit for at this moment.

Advice: go outside & touch some grass! Notice all the beauty that surrounds you, even when things seem unstable in the changes you are undergoing. There is always something to be grateful for, and it's in your best interest to build the habit of gratitude, especially to get you through more challenging times. Starting a new breathing or meditation practice will serve you well at this time.

🦞 Lobster - Call Forwarding

Now is an ideal time to take your boundaries more seriously. Have there been people in your life who have been infringing on your boundaries? If so, now is the time to communicate your needs and ensure that you are being respected. It's time to let go of any people pleasing tendencies so you can be a strong advocate for yourself. People who do not demonstrate respect for your boundaries do not deserve to have access to you and your energy.

Advice: Take some time away from technology and your phone. The habits you may have in regard to social media can be keeping you from tuning into your intuition and the wisdom it is offering you. You have the answers within you - are you listening?

🦎 Lizard - A Little Hobby

Ample rest is essential to maintain your health (and even sanity!) during this time. Your dreams may be more vivid than usual, and it'd be wise to pay attention to what they are trying to tell you. Dream journaling first thing when you wake up could offer you helpful insights.

Advice: you will benefit from having more fun and allowing your inner child to come out and play. Create for the fun of it, not for a specific outcome. Engaging in activities that nourish your soul will amplify opportunities for personal healing and release.

🦇 Bat - Food for the Soul

This is a time of rebirth for you. Birth can be a painful process, but it often is necessary for the initiation of new life. You have an opportunity to make the changes you need to become a better, more aligned version of yourself. Release habits, people, and things that no longer serve you. You are being reborn, so don't bring the past into the future with you.

Advice: prioritize healthy eating habits. You are what you eat and ingest, and what you consume can influence your mood and health. If you drink alcohol, smoke, or do drugs, this is a sign to cut down or quit altogether, as it is negatively impacting your health

ੈ✩‧₊˚Solar Eclipse in Libra and How it Will Affect You ੈ✩‧₊˚

Solar eclipses are meant to be a bit turbulent- but for a good reason. They teach us that everything is temporary, for better or for worse. But something is for certain, everything granted or taken away from you is a learning opportunity.

LIBRA solar eclipse interpretation:

Libra, in general, rules: Relationships, Other People (from yourself), Balance, The Law, and Beauty.

This Libra solar eclipse for the collective could overall touch these themes and create change in the areas of life in which those topics occur! In general though, I already see the theme of balance taking the spotlight here for most people. You can expect to see these situations occur slightly before, but mostly after the eclipse is done. Think of this as the first domino to fall, and the change comes after the fact.

What Does This Mean For Your Rising Sign??? (feel free to also look at sun and moon)

Aries: This eclipse will be happening in your 7th house of relationships, business partners, law, and agreements. There will be a shift in your interpersonal relationships or romantic matters. Mars will be squaring this from the 4th house of home, familiarity and family. You may meet people who feel like family, or who feel like they're just meant to be in your life. It'll feel comfortable but its definitely a shift if you've been isolated for a while. A lot of reinvention on the foundation of relationships (values of relationships, what you find important in connections) will be taking place!

Taurus: This eclipse is happening in your 6th house of discipline, bodily health, pets and work / labor. There may be a sudden end to a 9-5 job you have, or you'll experience a shift in your health (for better or for worse) there will be an increased focus on your work ethic and health in general. A change to your daily routine is very likely! You may pick up a workout routine or a new diet. Mars will be squaring this eclipse from your 3rd house, so this physical change and life style change will be coming from a new found mindset. you will have a lot of drive but with all things, please remember that balance is key. Do not become a workaholic but also don't sacrifice your health and long-term happiness out of laziness!

Gemini: This eclipse is happening in your 5th house of dating, pleasure, hobbies, and sex. Your dating life might ignite or die very quickly depending on what you need right now- However Mars will be squaring this from the 2nd house which tells me you might actually end up prioritizing dating, pleasures, hobbies, etc in this new era of your life. have fun, however this square aspect can talk about an overindulgence in 5th house matters or a blockage relating to 2nd house matters (Money, morals, resources) interfering with this desire to let go and experience more pleasures. Don't take life too seriously but also remember to keep everything in balance! Overall, there is a shift in priorities and balance in regards to play and work.

Cancer: This eclipse will be taking place in your 4th house of family, ancestry, property, familiarity / comfort and private life. Something in your family may drastically change, family property and finances may take a turn either for better or worse. Someone could be having a baby. Idk why but this sign feels very in tune and I'm using my intuition for most of this because i keep getting random messages internally about this interpretation, so maybe your own spiritual gifts could be growing. Mars (and your ascendant) is in your 1st house squaring this eclipse, there may be some tensions between you and your family, or people who you consider family, however this eclipse is meant to show you how you can build a sturdy foundation of your own. Independence is heavy here!

Leo: This eclipse will be happening in your 3rd house of cognitive function, local travel, your neighborhood, and siblings. Mars in your 12th house will be squaring this eclipse. There may bc a lot of subconscious issues rising to the surface for you, especially emotions of anger or resentment towards others close to you, or immediate family. Please keep your passive aggressiveness in check, since you will be prone to lashing out. Overall, the change you can expect in this era after this eclipse is a mental glow up. Trauma will leave your body through healthy communication and vulnerability.

Virgo: This eclipse will be taking place in your 2nd house of morals, values, money, and resources. There may be a change in priorities leading you to focus on other things like smarter ways of making more money. Mars squaring this eclipse from the 11th house for you may mean that in your circle(s) you'll be perceived as a go-getter. You may be inspirational for others to make a life change as well since you'll be very focused on your aspirations and the bigger picture of your goals in general during this era. Overall, there's a shift in finances and resources. Although despite being perceived as motivated and driven, the flip side of this new focus is that it may take a lot of priority away from interpersonal relationships. You may feel a bit isolated during this new era, or at least find it hard to balance social life and work life. Others in your friend circle, especially clubs or groups your apart of, or online peers, may feel a bit ignored or pushed to the side depending on how this manifests for you. Again, balance is key.

Libra: This eclipse will be happening n your 1st house!! Exciting since that house is all about you, your appearance, your first impressions, etc. You'll 100% be hitting different, your energy and looks will shift. Expect an other all refreshment of your life in most areas or areas in which you identify most with. Mars is squaring this eclipse from the 10th house, so your reputation, long term goals and career are in question here. People in career / professional settings will be viewing you differently.. more energetic and driven. OR the flip side of this if you cant harness this energy well, more bossy and frustrating.

Scorpio: This eclipse is happening in your 12th house of endings, restraints, suffering, dreams (while sleeping) and hidden enemies. Jupiter in the 8th house is trining this eclipse. There is an overabundance of hurt and suffering you've endured in the past, and this eclipse is here to fully close out that chapter. Keep on the look out for prophetic dreams! You'll experience pretty profound messages during this time. Your hidden enemies may be revealed curing this time, if you have any. Slightly off from the eclipse, Venus being in your 1st house trining mars in your 9th house while this eclipse is happening tells me that the healing and soul searching you've been doing is actively causing a very physical shift in your appearance. You'll be radiant and glowing!

Sagittarius: This eclipse is happening in your 11th house of social media, community, friend groups and aspirations. There may be a very positive or negative ending to a few relationships, however Jupiter is transiting your 7th house of relationships, business partners and justice making a trining aspect to the eclipse. This tells me that this very much may be an overwhelm of new connections in your life, or an overwhelm of losing connections in your life. Venus is transiting your 12th house of pain, loss, cycles and karma, trining Mars in your 8th house of trauma, endings, and debt. Whatever happens in your friend groups, business partnerships, or love life it may be completely drowned by some heavy emotions you need to heal through first in order to fully see the blessings of your social circle changes. 

Capricorn: This eclipse will be taking place if your 10th house of reputation, long term goals, and career. There's a probable advancement / promotion in your position at your job, especially since Jupiter in the 6th house of discipline and work is making a trine to this eclipse. You’ve proven yourself very well for this promotion!! Venus transiting your 11th house may talk about getting praise from your coworkers or people in your community in general, or even online. Mars transiting your 7th house of relationships, business partners making a square to the solar eclipse makes me feel as if someone tried throwing dirt on your name, or betray you in some way in the past. But you rise above this, and your reputation will actually shift for the better. 

Aquarius: This solar eclipse will be transiting your 9th house of your life’s journey, wisdom, travel, spirituality and lessons. Mars is currently in your 6th house being squared by this solar eclipse, which tells me that you will have a swift change in your career. You may look for something more fun and pleasurable, as well as emotionally and mentally fulfilling for you to engage with, especially with Venus transiting through your 10th house. You may be a bit blinded by your hope and dreams however, so I’d advise you to really sit down and think about how you can positively change your career path in the most secure way possible. Although sometimes we do have to take risks. 

Pisces: This solar eclipse will be transiting through your 8th house of endings, debt, inheritance and trauma. There may be a final ending to something traumatic that you’ve went through. Mars is transiting through your 5th house of fun, pleasure, and sex- making a square to the solar eclipse. This tells me you might feel as if you have acted carelessly in the past, and there may be something you need to own up to for yourself or others. Maybe finding better and less chaotic ways to have fun. You may reflect on sex and intimacy and see how you can engage with it in a new way or heal from traumatic experiences involving those. Venus transiting your 9th house during this ellipse tells me that you are favoring mental and spiritual growth in regards to love and sex, or just finding a love for higher knowledge and personal growth.

I hope you enjoyed this ok im eepy now honk shoo

Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Libra ♎️⚖️ (Mar. 25, 2024)

There is a huge releasing, letting go, and moving on theme with this full moon lunar eclipse, especially in our relationships: we’re being pushed to leave behind codependency, unhealthy relationship patterns, and possibly even some relationships altogether.

Even though it’s occurring in the sign of Libra, Pisces energy pretty much rules this eclipse (as the rulers of both the Moon and the Sun are in the sign of Pisces). This amplifies the themes of release, endings, and surrender even more.

The good news is there are plenty of lovely, helpful aspects that are supporting us in this letting go process. This energy probably isn’t anything new for most of us, but it’s reaching a culmination of some kind. We have learned a lot leading up to this eclipse. We have clarity about what from our past needs to be left behind.

And while there is a strong need to move away from certain relationships/dynamics, at the same time there are positive new relationship-related developments that we’re meant to move towards. This makes the letting go easier because there is the feeling that we are moving towards something better.

There is healing and growth taking place not only in our relationships with others, but in our relationship with ourselves and our sense of self-worth. Everything is pushing us to develop a healthy and strong sense of self, from which we can relate to others.

There is a gentle and creative energy to this eclipse as well. It may be time to just take a break and relax.

[raining-tulips]

Yes eclipses suck and feel awful, terrifying, emotionally exhausting...but less people talk about how eye opening and empowering they can be. How something just shifts and suddenly you can see clearly, you can make a choice confidently, and you can rest knowing that it's truly your choice.

That's how this one felt for me.

Lunar Eclipse Libra 5°

Hey yall! You good? So we are in eclipse season and these first 2 eclipse are definitely ones to watch for! You’ve probably been feeling this energy for at least a couple weeks before.

So the upcoming Lunar Eclipse is March 25th. It’s varies in time depending on your location so google your area to see the time it’ll happen.

The last time we had an eclipse in Libra was the Solar one back in October 2023 so think of this eclipse as a continued storyline from October to now. What changes have you seen since.

What is an Eclipse?

Well the eclipse meaning varies from culture to culture but for me personally, I look at it as a time when big things are changing in the world and your personal life. Eclipse is literally clipping things that no longer serve you in your life and making room for something better. You have to fully embrace that change though and change isn’t always easy so be kind to yourself and others as well.

How long do it last?

Eclipse energy can last up to 6 months -1 year. However, the effects of an eclipse can affect you for years because it’s like a domino effect happening.

Lunar Eclipse

A lunar eclipse is the moon. The moon represents your home, inner emotions, family, our private life in general.

So a lunar eclipse is a time of big changes in our private life, these changes can make a long lasting impact so journal some things you are seeing change or what you want to change.

Libra 5°(Leo degree)

Libra rules over relationships, life balance, justice and fairness in our life.

Overall energy

-So, this is going to be a time to focus on your close and personal relationships in your life. Do you have a support system? Who do you want in your life, or not want? People may start to reveal their true colors to you and you’ll see who in your corner. There’s a flip side to this, have you been in others corner like you expect others to be in yours? There’s going to accountability on how you connect with people and how they connect with you. With the Leo energy influence, it’s going to make you open up your heart in connecting with these relationships.

How will this eclipse personally impact you?

If you have any Libra Placements that’s 0°-9° in your chart, you feel it the heaviest.

Check and see what house Libra fall in your chart.

Check your 4h as well because the moon rules your 4h, so it will naturally affect that house no matter the sign it’s in.

Since it’s in the sign of Libra, check your Venus as well because Libra is ruled by this planet.

Write it all down in your journal. Then keep living your life, write down any noticeable changes in your life snd see how it connects to this eclipse.

Other advice

Follow YOUR intuition on what to do during this eclipse, you’re going to be getting lots of advice on what to do/not to do. Use discernment and listen to your own sprit team on what you should do for you! Drink lots of water as well!

Ritual Love 9.9.24

Whispering my love into your ears as you sleep, wondering where within your mind it seeps

Does it crush those negative self-talk beliefs?

Does it soothe your resting heartbeats?

Kissing your forehead, your pineal gland, wondering if you feel where it lands

Does it awaken your tender soul?

Does it gently comfort the places left cold?

Does it soften, does it sink in, does it...show you, does it fill you, does it linger and hold?

2024 Important Dates

AKA my notes on The Astrology Forecast's 2024 Year Ahead Forecast, hosted by Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. After the overview and January forecast, I'll put the rest of the year under a readmore. Overall, this year heralds technological innovations, and is a stepping stone into bigger developments in 2025 and 2026.

Overview

This year would be dramatic on its own, but with bigger shifts ahead in this decade, serves as a preview for even more dramatic changes in 2025 and 2026.

Pluto in Aquarius We only got about 6 weeks of Pluto in Aquarius in 2023, but this is will it where be for most of 2024 and the next 20 years. We're also getting the last of Uranus in Taurus (7-year transit) and Neptune in Pisces (14-year stay). These outer planets are wrapping up while Pluto starts something new.

Austin predicts Pluto in Aquarius will be a relief to those of us who've been suffering from Pluto in Capricorn. Historically, Chris traces the development of gunpowder, its refinement and transmission from China to Europe with Pluto in Aquarius. Warfare changed with these developments, particularly the strategies of siege. We should expect to see new technologies & applications in warfare now, particularly anti-drone weapons and uses of AI. Near-future science fiction stories from 20 years ago will look incredibly familiar, especially the "cyberpunk dystopia" and man-machine interfaces changing significantly. The first paper shop was set up in Baghdad in 793 under Pluto in Aquarius, and this technology spread around the world under different Pluto in Aquarius periods, with wide-ranging effects on mass communication. Technological espionage is also a theme of this placement--think AI uses, and the US trying to compete with Chinese microchips. This will also form an opposition to natal Pluto for baby boomers (1940s-60s), a transit that rarely occurs within a human lifetime. We'll see the culmination of this generation's power in the world, where figures like Biden or Trump or their contemporaries may have one last bid for power before they have to hand it to someone younger.

Chris actually used AI to help summarize his notes on this transit. With Pluto representing transformation and control, and Aquarius indicating the innovator and the rebel, some general themes are:

Major shifts in how technology shapes society, both empowering people and destructively.

Information warfare and control, especially among governments. Monopolies and censorship attempts will increase.*

Technological leaps. Breakthroughs from both internal research and external sources like cultural exchange or encounters with "that which is foreign/alien."

Science vs ethics: moral dilemmas, tension between curiosity & caution

Globalization on edge: the interconnected world may face challenges, but the exchange of information is crucial to progress. World trade and supply chains spanning the globe will change as countries shift certain sectors to more local production.

*history note: Pluto was in Aquarius during the Renaissance & Scientific Revolution, and the Church tried to censor this new information because it posed a threat to Papal power. Monarchs took state power from the church under Pluto in Aquarius, and the French Revolution under this placement showed the bourgeoisie really challenging the nobility under this placement. Most of the US constitution was written under Pluto in Aquarius--in fact the last Pluto in Aquarius period was during the late 18th century, so prepare for those paradigm shifts & revolutions to shift and revolt once again. New developments in physics and cosmology around dark matter and string theory, increased uses of AI, and new space probes may all prove to shake our ideas of where we stand with the rest of the universe.

Saturn conjunct Neptune Saturn prefers structure & the real world, while Neptune is a realm of imagination and illusions. In 2016 these planets squared each other and the political sound byte "fake news" was important. We no longer trust sound and video in addition to images, especially with advances in AI. Previous Saturn-Neptune contacts include the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the HUAC/McCarthy era in the USA. We'll be asking ourselves, "is this real?" We'll need to balance skepticism with imagination.

Another Saturn-Neptune in Pisces theme is pervasive feelings of despair and collective sorrow over water-related disasters, such as tsunamis or the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. The first Saturn-Neptune conjunction of the 20th century was 1916-1919: disillusionment, skepticism, muddy trench warfare and chemical weapons. More positively, empathy, compassion, and service can come from those who fight for a better world despite hardships. However, Neptune will conjoin Saturn in Aries as well, which will have a much less compassionate flavor. This upcoming Pisces conjunction occurs right as Neptune is leaving the sign--which Piscean developments will get the Saturn stamp of approval and last beyond this decade? Neptune in Pisces has brought us an increased interest in the occult matters and psychedelics, ranging from tarot and astrology to modern cults to therapeutic uses of hallucinogens. Some of the skepticism we see will be the result of having been burned by Pisces Neptune events. Another related topic is augmented reality displays--Austin predicts that since it's been around for so long, if it doesn't take during Neptune & Saturn in Pisces, it probably won't take at all.

Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Taurus This conjunction goes exact in April. In the material sign of Taurus, what sudden developments (Uranus) is Jupiter enabling? In one such application, AI technologies can help advance the field of materials science by designing new compounds & predicting their uses. There are a lot of technological developments bottlenecked by a single limitation, such as limited battery capacity, which if resolved would prompt an explosion of impressive new technologies. Quantum developments, Heisenberg's additions, different political revolutions, the sexual revolution & the Moon landing were under Jupiter-Uranus alignments, as were some of the earliest biology works in the Renaissance era. April will breakthroughs getting supported and confirmed. These come about every 13 years: in 2010 in Aries, 1990s in Aquarius. In 1941 we saw scientific breakthroughs as well, though Saturn's presence fittingly brought a much darker tone. Which house is Taurus in your chart? This transit can bring sudden insight & broaden your horizons in this area (A/N: timing techniques like progressions, Hellenistic profections, and zodiacal release can help you determine if Taurus will be especially "activated" for you around this time).

On the flipside, take care not to indulge in excessive naivete, uncritical embrace of rule-breaking in the name of progress, or getting caught up in fleeting euphoria. Once Uranus leaves, what will stay? What gets truly confirmed by Jupiter? Austin predicts major developments in cryptocurrency, which was not invented under Uranus in Taurus but did rise to prominence under this transit. Taurus also tells us to appreciate the material comforts, and this conjunction may show us a new approach to appreciating these things (like an AI snuggy that helps you sleep!). The potato chip and chocolate-chip cookie were also invented during Uranus in Taurus. More niche items have become more widely available (lab-grown meat, perhaps?), though food and energies has also become disproportionately more expensive/volatile during this transit. Taurus also signifies nature, botany, and ecology--we may see major developments in response to climate change. This is the last year of Uranus in Taurus--perhaps the cottagecore trend will have its last blows. Uranus in Gemini (A/N: 2025) will have us going back into the mainframe...(organic computers?)

Jupiter in Gemini This transit will be about a year long. Immediately upon entry to this sign Jupiter will trine Pluto, and later in the year he'll square Saturn. This will be a big shift, not just by sign, but because Jupiter goes from cooperating with Saturn to fighting him. Light-footed, fast, clever Gemini Jupiter clashes with deep, slow, heavy Pisces Saturn. Their sextile in January/February indicates the economy will likely seem to move in a good direction as the year begins, but the leviathan in the deep will stop us short.

Notable figures born under Jupiter in Gemini & Saturn in Pisces include Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison, bringing us new communications systems. Bell developed the telephone partially as part of efforts to help his mother and other deaf people, while Edison himself had major hearing issues and focused on visual phenomena. However, we have ethics questions too: Bell had issues patenting the telephone as the same day as another inventor--who got there first? (A/N: many of Edison's patents were invented by others with property rights surrendered to him.) Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails also has these placements, and he's gone from applying electronic music in rock to films in recent decades. Also born under Pisces Saturn & Gemini Jupiter: Moby, Björk, Alfred Pulitzer (known for pioneering both human interest stories and sensationalism).

Other Jupiter in Gemini keywords: speaking many languages, verbosity, versatility & adptability, self-education, many short experiments, and having a knack for or good luck in new machines. However, Jupiter is considered in exile/detriment in Gemini: this light sign may interfere with Jupiter's desire for deeper understanding. The first decan of Gemini is ruled by Jupiter, and the bound of Jupiter is early in the sign as well, (and Jupiter is a triplicity ruler for Gemini!) so we can actually have quite a strong Jupiter in the beginning of this transit. Pluto in Aquarius trines Jupiter at the start of this transit, and Jupiter will gladly go to work for Pluto's agenda. Expect major technology & information related developments in April-May. This also foreshadows Uranus's entry into Gemini, where he'll trine Pluto thrice.

During this time, all the planets in Gemini are also combust (so close to the Sun we can't see them, figuratively getting burned), so beware of burnout. Another Jupiter in Gemini native is Lana Wachowski (one of the creators of The Matrix). Her coming out story also inspired many, and Jupiter in Gemini is a good place for variety in gender expression. Unfortunately, concepts from her movie were also coopted by right-wingers ("redpilled"). Also under this placement is JK Rowling, initially known for writing increasingly verbose fantasy books, though in recent years has focused her resources on stopping the advancement of trans rights. Jupiter in Gemini is fast, but not always ethical.

Eclipses

In April we'll have an eclipse that's visible over much of the United States from Texas to Maine, occurring on an election year. In the Indian dasha system, the US entered a Rahu (North Node)-ruled time period 8 years ago, making it especially sensitive to eclipses. There won't be another total eclipse visible in the US until 2045, marking momentous changes. This is also a continuation of the Libra/Aries eclipse story, most recently from the Libra eclipse in October. In both our personal lives and world events we'll see a turning point in the spring. The eclipses this year are in March-April, and September-October (remember, eclipses always come in twos--one lunar, one solar!). The March/April eclipses will be especially chaotic with Mars-Saturn and Jupiter-Uranus conjunctions affecting the equinox. The fall eclipses will begin shifting towards the Pisces/Virgo axis, and the major renewals will shift focus from one area of our lives to another (check which house(s) contain these signs for you).

Comets 2024 will have two comets that may be visible to the naked eye--both during eclipses! The Pons-Brooks comet will be visible in April around the time of the Aries eclipse (and Jupiter-Uranus & Mars-Saturn conjunctions). This indicates a very important time in world history. The comet, which may become visible as the sky darkens, will pass right by the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction. Chris's ancient sources say whether a comet is a good or bad omen depends on its color, brightness, and visibility once it gets here, but he's hopeful its contact with Jupiter-Uranus will be helpful to us. Austin points out it'll be difficult to distinguish the comet's specific effects from everything else going on at that time. The second comet visits us in October, right before eclipses and the US presidential election. "Hopefully we won't get the Game of Thrones Season 2/War of Five Kings comet," says Austin. Chris is going to publish an episode soon analyzing both ancient sources & doing his own historical research on comets, which have connections to wars, regime changes, and religious or political leaders being born.

Mars Austin points out that there will be consistent stelliums in the first half of the year (visible around the eclipses) before returning to more regular dispersal. Mars is also going to make volatile contacts to outer planets as well, really bringing military connotations, mostly earlier in the year and then picking up again at the end of the year with an opposition to Pluto & a retrograde. In fact, Mars enters Leo, the sign of his upcoming retrograde, 2 days before the US presidential election.

US history & election: Mars goes retrograde in the same sign every 79 years, shifting by about 4 degrees every time. Mars did this same retrograde back in the late 1700s when US states were ratifying the Constitution (Pluto was in Aquarius then like it will be in '24, and some other transits are the same as well). The next recurrence was during the passing of the 14th amendment after the Civil War, an amendment forbidding anyone who led an insurrection from entering office. Most recently Mars retrograded in this cycle in 1945-6, during the end of WW2 and stationing just before the birth of a certain controversial recent president. This upcoming Mars retrograde will occur in the same part of the zodiac as these other events.

Chris usually shies away from predicting election results outright because he considers himself too invested to be objective, but he gives us a rundown. Like 2016 this election occurs under a Saturn-Neptune conjunction, foreshadowing the us of AI in political propaganda. If it does end up being Biden vs Trump, Chris says as of now there are indicators for either side winning. For the past 30 years, every presidential election winner has had an eclipse in one of his angular houses (1/4/7/10) shortly before winning. The Aries/Libra eclipses don't fall in angular houses for either, but the Pisces eclipse in September occurs in Biden's 4th house, and the 10th of his running mate Kamala. In Trump's favor is zodiacal releasing: he's starting a 19-year peak period releasing from spirit (career/aspirations) in 2025 just after the election. (This is one of the things that threw Chris off in the 2016 election, since a president elected for 2 consecutive terms then wouldn't be in office anymore in 2025.) This peak period activates the sign of Leo for him, the first house, and contains his natal Mars, bringing fighting and difficulty to the foreground. (A/N: Mars is also entering Leo around the time of the election, so whether he wins or not, we'll be seeing a lot of him.) That's a basic overview, and Chris will discuss other factors as the year progresses. Austin points out we have a perfect Mars-Pluto opposition the day before the election, and Mars stations in Leo right as the electors meet to officially vote. This election is heavily tied to the Mars retrograde, which continues until a few months into 2025. Pluto will take Mars's significations to bigger extremes as well as hidden power plays. Taking place January 20th at noon, Inauguration Day always takes place at the beginning of Aquarius season with the Sun in the 10th house, but Pluto's going to conjoin the Sun as well this year, which Chris predicts will start a new era of American history. Two of the debates fall on eclipse days, and Chris predicts these will have a dramatic effect on the election. Regardless of specific candidates, we know the US is entering a crucial phase of its history with Uranus entering Gemini (same placement as the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and entering WW2). Austin wonders if the Saturn-Neptune conjunction will delay the rise of historic leadership, as his research so far proved inconclusive.

Month-by-month

January

Mercury stations direct immediately, helping us start things off definitively. Mars in Capricorn colors most of the month. He's very strong & effective in this sign, further supported by a trine from Jupiter in Taurus. With Venus and Mercury copresent Mars in Capricorn, we have an opportunity to practice living how we'd like to before things get crazy. The clichés of "starting your the year off right" are worth following this time around. A Jupiter-Saturn sextile in the first six weeks of the year further supports our efforts to get organized. Take advantage of Jupiter in Taurus to make the growth and expansion you seek permanent. We'll need a set pattern to weather the upcoming storms.

Chris and Leisa's auspicious election for the month is on January 12th, 2023 at 8AM local time with Aquarius rising. This means the Ascendant ruler Saturn receives a helpful sextile from Jupiter (orb of 5 degrees).

After a conjunction with the Sun and the light's ingress into Aquarius, Pluto re-enters that same sign on the 20th, anchoring what's most interesting about February. Chris points out it's exactly one year from the US presidential inauguration and will be an interesting omen.

February

February has a pileup of planets in Aquarius. From the 5th to the 16th, Mercury, Mars, and Venus all conjoin Pluto. This rapid succession of initial conjunctions will start to show us what this new Pluto era will look like for each of the faster planets. We go from having 4-5 planets in Capricorn to having 4-5 in Aquarius through this first half of the year. What does overwhelming weight in these signs look like for you? The Mars-Pluto conjunction on the 14th will be pretty dramatic. This connotes the use of excessive force, and generally will likely show us what kinds of dangers to expect from Pluto in Aquarius. The Venus-Mars conjunction at nearby degrees will connote future relationship patterns.

March

This month marks the beginning of eclipse season as well as a pileup of planets in Pisces. After the equinox, we have an eclipse, making the spring very dramatic. Mars sneaks up to a conjunction with Saturn, who rules the April Libra eclipse, and all the while Mercury is retrograde. We have multiple indicators of major world events here, which Chris compares to early 2020. And if that wasn't enough, we've got a comet! The lunar eclipse in Libra heralds back to its sister eclipse in early October.

April

The Mars-Saturn conjunction will punctuate difficulties of Saturn's transit--the last Mars-Saturn conjunction in Aquarius aligned with the intensifying lockdowns in March-April of 2020. This time the conjunction is in a water sign, so think naval warfare or threats from aquatic creatures. January was a good time to plan; this is not. We'll be adapting to rapid changes and doing what needs to be done. The Aries eclipse will be visible over much of the US, bringing major developments to the nation. Once we get out of eclipse season, we'll have to deal with the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction going exact on the 19th. Chris hopes that this will divide the month in half, from chaotic early on to more hopeful in the second half, especially as Mercury stations direct. Austin is less optimistic, as we'll have Jupiter, Uranus, and Venus all in Taurus. At the end of the month, Mars enters Aries and joins Rahu there, igniting the very point that was just activated by a total eclipse. Regardless, the pace of technology and communications will explode during this month and May.

May

Once Jupiter enters Gemini, lots of other planets follow him to that sign. This has strong implications for the advancements for communications. Austin says the Taurus developments in the early month indicate financial developments before the technological ones. All the planets in Taurus are looking to its ruler Venus for support, but she's combust (close to the Sun & invisible), so we'll feel something missing from our material comforts.

June

The Jupiter-Pluto trine is twofold: Jupiter expands Pluto's Aquarian pursuits, while Pluto exponentially magnifies Jupiter's expansion of communications in Gemini. We get a Sun-Venus cazimi in Gemini, resetting her cycle, with Mercury a few weeks after. Some of the Jupiter-Uranus discoveries and inventions may not be visible until later, as the Gemini planets themselves are invisible & passing through the Sun during these few months. There's a spaceship with recreational implications set to be launched next spring, fitting with the expansion of leisure that Jupiter in Taurus connotes. Mars entering Taurus on the 9th will mellow out for awhile after such intense movements. Saturn's retrograde station in Pisces brings him as close to Neptune as he's gonna get this year.

July

Saturn & Neptune stationing in Pisces blur the lines between what's real and what's not, what's true and what's false... An exlposive, unexpected Mars-Uranus conjunction occurs on the 15th. Furthermore, it's on top of the star Algol, a very ugly configuration that has historically coincided with devastating warfare and weapons. This isn't the tone for all of Mars in Taurus, but it's something to try and steer around if possible. Mars in Gemini brings us to August.

August

Mercury stations retrograde on the 5th, backtracking through both Virgo and Leo. This year Mercury retrogrades occur mainly in fire signs:

Mars in Gemini puts him in contact with Jupiter right as the benefic is squaring Saturn in Pisces; the smaller planet will likely exacerbate these issues. Excessive heat and speed clash against excessive cold and slowness. This is a real slowdown for Jupiter's fun and social trip through Gemini. Mercury stations direct by the end of the month, taking us into September.

September

By this point the planets have stopped moving in a giant pack, spacing out the energies a little. Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn for the very last time this month; when he enters Aquarius at the end of this year he'll stay there for the next 20 years. Uranus gets as late into Taurus as he's gonna get this year before stationing retrograde as well, trining Pluto within 2 degrees of exactness. Chris charts these planetary contacts over the past few decades:

Uranus conjunct Pluto in the late 1960s saw major social changes as well as the first computer mouse. A sextile in the mid-1990s heralded the emergence of the Internet as we know it. In the early 2010s, smartphones became more and more ubiquitous, and now we're entering the next phase of new widely used technologies. The 2010s also saw revolutionary movements like the Arab Spring, and similar political developments will be foreshadowed around this time.

Mars enters Cancer, the sign where he'll retrograde. It's not very comfortable, but we'll have to get used to it all the same. Notable degrees are the retrograde beginning at 6Leo10 and ending at 17Cancer01:

We also get the first hit of the Pisces eclipse series this month. Though its companion eclipse is back in Libra, the September eclipse is foreshadowing for 2025-6.

October

The height of election season in the US coincides with the height of eclipse season celestially. We'll likely see prominent figures suddenly sink to the bottom or rise to the top around this time--jumping way ahead or falling way behind. Mars enters the shadow of his upcoming retrograde days after the eclipse. It's already hard to see clearly, and the eclipse supercharges all this. The Libra eclipse on the 2nd is the final of its series, wrapping up whatever was initiated in October 2023 (i.e. a new chapter in certain Middle Eastern conflicts). The first lunation free of an eclipse provides no relief, with the Full Moon tightly squaring Mars (♋) and Pluto (♑). This forms a difficult cardinal grand cross with the Sun, Moon, Mars and Pluto. Power plays, manipulation and intrigue abound.

November

Mars enters Leo, the sign of its retrograde, on the 3rd. Although he's in his pre-retrograde shadow period earlier, this ingress will bring it dramatically forward. He opposes Pluto, who's been stationing since mid-October, bringing paranoia, power struggles/plays, obsession & confrontation, and hidden motives or manipulation from behind the scenes. In opposite signs we'll see tension in opposite approaches to things, such as direct power versus hidden agendas, excessive force and even extermination. Mars only needs to win the battle, but Pluto blows things out of proportion. His station on December 6th is notable. The last Mars retrograde in Cancer was in 2007-2008, so look to this time in your life for an idea of what will happen. We can also look to the Mars retrograde in Leo 15 years ago (12/20/2009-3/10/2010). (This retrograde is mostly in Cancer, but stations in Leo). 2 days after Mars enters Leo is election day in the US (Nov. 5th), shining a light on all the controversies.

Venus is way ahead of everyone in Capricorn, while Pluto reenters Aquarius for good (the next 20 years). Mercury also stations retrograde at the end of the month, bringing us to December.

December

Mars stations retrograde right after Mercury's own halfway point through the retrograde, bringing miscommunications into Martial clashes, conflicts, and severing/separation. It's during the height of his retrograde that Mars is at his closest to Earth and is at his brightest for the longest (basically all night every night).

Mars retrograde shows us that no battle plan survives first contact. Excessive heat or conflict will linger for much longer than you expect. Mercury stations direct under a Full Moon on the 15th, and Jupiter squares Saturn exactly on the 24th. Our questions about growth versus boundaries will come back into focus. Meanwhile the rest of Mars retrograde awaits us in 2025, continuing a smoldering conflict into the next year.

New Moon Solar Eclipse at 10º Libra

October 2nd, 2024

1:46 pm CST

Key Points:

Occurs at 10º Libra at 1:46 PM CST.

Conjunct Mercury, Sun, and Lilith.

Square Mars in Cancer.

Grand trine involving Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Cancer, and Saturn in Pisces.

What It Means: This New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra marks the last eclipse of the year, and it’s a potent one! Eclipses are powerful cosmic events that often act as a reset button, steering us onto our fated paths. Think of it as the universe’s way of redirecting us when we’ve strayed from our true purpose. Solar Eclipses, in particular, are about new beginnings, but since this eclipse is tied to the South Node, it’s more about internal and spiritual shifts rather than external or material ones.

For those with personal planets in Libra or prominent Libra placements (between 1º - 19º), this eclipse could bring up issues around balance, relationships, and agreements. You may be prompted to let go of old habits or situations that no longer serve your growth to make space for something new and aligned with your higher self.

Spiritual Impact: With Mercury, Sun, and Lilith conjunct, hidden truths, secrets, or repressed feelings might surface, especially in relationships. Lilith’s influence brings a rebellious and raw energy, highlighting our darker impulses or unresolved traumas. Be prepared for revelations, not just about others but about your own behavior and subconscious patterns. These insights can be uncomfortable but ultimately freeing.

This eclipse’s square to Mars in Cancer suggests that these changes won’t come without a fight. Mars’ energy in sensitive Cancer can bring emotional confrontations, especially in domestic or family matters. However, the grand trine between Venus, Mars, and Saturn offers a stabilizing influence, helping us navigate these intense emotions with grace, compassion, and a touch of practicality.
