FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN

Today there is a Full Moon in the sign of Capricorn, therefore the day may be emotionally intense. Full Moon signifies a culmination point in some areas in our lives where we tend to accomplish something or to see the results of our hard work. Being in Capricorn/earth sign this Full Moon energy could be very much connected to materialistic side of life, our career and long-term goals. We may see the results and achievement in a tangible way under this Full Moon and to reap the fruits of our labour.  We tend to close a chapter in some department of our lives in aim to open space for a new ventures and projects regarding our material stability and security.

The Full Moon appears in Capricorn (11degree) – Cancer (where the Sun is in the moment) axis in the zodiac therefore, it may highlight issues regarding our personal and professional lives. In both cases, the sense of material and emotional stability will be important. Try to be more grounded, realistic and use your awareness if you make important decisions especially, when it comes to long-term projects. At the same time, Jupiter (in Taurus) is making a positive aspect to this Full Moon which could be a supporting factor for achieving and accomplishing ventures, project or goals. It could also ease the pressure, worries and limitation which Moon in Capricorn tend to bring. A sense of optimism and hope – emotionally and materialistically could also be felt under this Full Moon season.  

Keep in mind that these are GENERAL ASTROLOGICAL TENDENCIES and how exactly this energy will influence you it’s depending on your personal horoscope, but most definitely you will feel these astrological events in one way or another, especially, in some areas in your life.

Best wishes

Solar Return Observations #2🌻💛

🌼💛Just an update so far, I have a 5th house stellium in my chart this year and life has felt so carefree. Life made me get rid of my old crush and made me focus on myself for a while(Pluto) until just friday I met someone new unexpectedly(Vertex). I havent felt this feeling in almost 3 years its really exhilarating feeling like this and I actually have a good feeling about it. It felt like I was meant to cross paths with him at this point in my life right now because im actually focused on my higher self. I feel that Vertex along with other major planets like the Sun, Mars, Mercury, Pluto, and POF made meeting him feel fated because for one ever since Ive met him ive consequently crossed paths with him multiple times in just the span of 3 days. Its not a deep connection however(5th house) but I hope to beat the odds and make something out of it. So overall, Ive had lots of fun, peace, and new interests in love.

🌼💛So I recently just discovered this, but you can go and find your monthly/daily transit chart and overlap it to your natal or solar return chart to see how your school, career, family, or love life will be. I was wondering why was it that I never got the opportunity to meet someone in matters of romance but i did multiple times in friendships and then I saw that in my transit charts I never had Venus in the 7th house until last month. Venus had always been in like the 11th, the 10th, or the 3rd and school and friends was what was constant in my life. Sometimes even having Venus in the 8th can mean a change in your love life. I even looked all the way through 2022 and 2023 and all 12 months there was not one placement of Venus/Mars/Moon in the 5th or 7th until my transit chart of Febuary 29. Venus conjuncted Mars in the 8th and what happened? I saw the new guy who was exactly my type and I found interest in him. My next transit will be March 30 with Venus, Saturn, and Neptune in the 7th, and Mars conjunct the descendant. Im hoping that things will go well and I can get the courage to talk to him but we'll seeee.

🌼💛Having Jupiter in the 1st just means your whole year will be filled with luck youll just have things fall right into your hands.

🌼💛Uranus in the 9th house is lowkey feeling lost on what path you should take regarding school or just feeling disconnected from school in general. I have this right now and ive been having trouble locking in on my school work and i dont know how i want to plan my schedule for next year. Im just going with the flow atp.

🌼💛Venus in the 4th house means your family will spoil you and make you feel loved.

🌼💛Ok so im not really liking the attention ive been getting from having Lilith exactly conjunct the Ascendant. It feels like every where i go theres been men staring at me creepily and theres this guy on the track team who keeps touching me and crossing my boundries and personal space and it makes me so uncomfortable. Its so grimy and I hate it.

🌼💛Look at the dominant planet and see what house it falls in. Last year i had a dominant planet of moon and it fell in the 12th house conjunct mars. All imma say is that last year was one of the worse but strengthening years for me mentally.

🌼💛Venus in the 9th house means you’ll probably get a chance to travel. I had it in the 4th degree and i went to California from Texas because of a wedding on my moms side.

🌼💛Ive noticed that Vertex in the 5th doesnt always necessarily mean youll meet someone, it just means that youll get a lot of opportunities to go out and have fun.

🌼💛Saturn in the 6th/10th means standing on business.

🌼💛Chiron in the 5th may be a year where you feel burnt out. Make sure to take a break.

🌼💛Moon in libra will beautify a relationship depending on whatever house its in. Ex- first house: your appearance, 3rd: your relationship with siblings, 5th house: with your romantic partners or your inner self. It could also mean you feel romantic this year and could even have more opportunities given to you to express those feelings.

🌼💛7th house Neptune means having dreamy fantasies about people you wanna date. Could have your head in the clouds or you can just have high hopes regarding this area. Could be spiritually calming regarding partnerships but you can be manipulated and gaslighted too if your not careful.

🌼💛Venus in the 10th means being called beautiful all the time during that year. So many strangers used to stop me in the hallways to tell me I was pretty that year.

🌼💛Chiron and Neptune in the 1st means not being able to see your beauty.

🌼💛Venus or Jupiter in the 2nd means splurging on skincare, makeup, and clothes.

🌼💛Having Chiron in the 4th is not fun lol. Could mean family problems, struggling to feel at home when youre at home, and having trouble having a safe space.

🌼💛Leo Ascendant years will make you feel popular.

🌼💛Venus in the 6th could make you follow health, beauty, and workout routines or it could oppositely make you feel lazy and not wanna do anything. It also means feeling comfortable at work or find a interest at work.

🌼💛In 2020 when covid hit I had Saturn in the 5th house and it makes so much sense looking back. We were forced to be isolated and I couldnt go out because of the lockdown. Dont get me wrong though I still had alot of fun with my family but I feel like my middle school experience wouldve been alot different if that hadnt happened.

🌼💛Having a Cancer Ascendant back in 2015 was when my older cousin got married and that was a big event for our family that girl spent almost a 100k on her wedding. She was the first to get married out of the kids in the family. Even having Cancer degrees in the chart will mean change or some significant event in your family life.

Thats all for today hope yall enjoyed:)

[uyuforu]

Hello. When do you see marriage potential for Jungkook? (astrology)

This is my first question. I enjoy reading your astrology posts. :)

Time Jungkook will mostly marry based on Astrology

Hello! Your question is about when jungkook has marriage potential! So to answer this question, I want to look at his Natal chart but also Solar return chart!

Natal Chart

ʚɞ ���˖ Cancer in DSC (moon): meaning at a time he is still young. Since there are no planets in his 7H (only asteroid Briede), it doesn't mean that young so we could say around 30 years old! Between 26-32 max. His asteroid there could just literally say a younger bride. Meant to have a younger bride.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ Venus in 9H: So this placement could make JK start dating around time he was studying (high school: he got his first gf at that time). They dated for two years! And usually Venus in 9H means you start dating around 18-21 yo, and it was indeed at the time. But, this placement also says 24-26 and 30-32. This post is made in November 2023, so at the moment JK is 26! He may still dating but it's more likely he'll be married around 30 yo!

ʚɞ ⁺˖ Aquarius in 2H (ruled by Saturn traditionally) + Cancer in 7H (Moon) + Scorpio in 11H (Mars traditionally): If we look at those planets, they could potentially say when JK will get married. Either a moon return (extremely fast, pretty much happens every month, so every year kinda JK has a change to get married lol, so don't base yourself on it.). It can also happen during mars return or Saturn return! We all know about the Saturn return happening in 2027 for JK, but the mars return happens every two years! SO!

-> Next Saturn return= 2027 (29-30 yo)

-> Next Mars Return= 2023 (just happened!/ 26 yo), September 22th 2025 (28 yo), September 2nd 2027 (30yo)

-> Next Moon Return= Complicated to list them all, but 2027 is def a big year for JK, so I'll focus there! There is a transit in February 20th 2027 in Virgo and August 31th!

ʚɞ ⁺˖ Venus Libra Return: Why can it be a factor? If we look at the future spouse of someone in their chart, Venus is for the men and Jupiter is for the women. So looking exactly when Venus for a man returns during the year can say when they meet their FS or when they get married! It goes back once a year, and usually it's around August-October for JK. For the year 2027, it happens on September 14th! Man be ready for a full ride in September 2027!

Solar Return

ʚɞ ⁺˖ 2025-2026 Solar Return Chart: There are possibility to meet the future spouse that year! Jupiter is in Cancer (Natal 7H/ DSC) in 9H! And Venus is in Leo 10H, meaning success in relationships? Jupiter is also a planet that represents commitment, success and luck, so it tells where you'll be lucky! It's a possibility, it doesn't necessarily means it'll come true. Chiron is in the 7H, meaning it can be a time of healing in relationships. So I wouldn't be shock if they met that year too.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ 2026-2027 SRC: Jupiter in 7H in Leo!! A big sign of being with fs and also could be a time of getting married! Saturn is also opposite to Venus, a big changement in his love life! Venus is back in his home sign, meaning it can be a real serious time for serious committing! I already say that 2025-2027 would be significant for jk! And DSC is in his natal house too!

Thank you for reading!

The Astrological Observation of Gen Z, (a series)

Part I 👼🏽🩷:

The rise & fall of "chick flicks" & the possible resurgence of those films thanks to Barbie? 💗 + Victoria's Secret Angels/fashion show makes a come back, will it succeed 👼🏽?

SPOILER ALERT

Here is the birth chart (placidus) of the most loved and adored doll of all time, Barbie! The Barbie movie begun filming in March 2022, had it's first premiere on July 9th, 2023, and was aired officially on July 21st, 2023. If the movie started to be filmed in March 2022, then that means the movie would have been created during Barbie's solar return. The movie was going to have a big impact on the world from the moment it was produced. Although, yes of course it's Barbie who's super famous, but I believe that the intention behind the film was more sincere than other movies in comparison. In Barbie's solar return chart, there is a fear of being "forgotten" or "lost", which is exactly what Barbie struggled with in the movie. There is an Aquarius dominance and a 11th and 9th house stellium. Her North node, Moon, and Uranus are in her 12th house which deals with the subconscious. In the film, Barbie and the woman who owned her as a little girl had a telepathic connection (Aquarius Venus at 2° in the 9th house), which she did not know until she started having "oppressive thoughts about death" (Aquarius Mercury in the 10th house at 28°). Which Weird Barbie gives her a "choice" of going back to normal or knowing the secrets of the universe (a spiritual awakening). Which then explains how her 11th house and 9th house partnered together in the film. Friendship, philosophy, and wisdom all being important lessons that Barbie was forced to experience. Barbie's journey throughout the movie was painful and scary. She wasn't able to be the one to give advice or help little girls anymore, this time - people had to help her, which gave her the confidence to become the woman she wanted to become (Barbie has so many squares and conjuctions in her solar return chart, like let me go buy a Barbie doll and tell her how much I love her, I'm so sorryyyy 💔😭).

Barbie's transits on the day of the Barbie movie's official release. Aspects that are standing out to me are Part of Fortune sextile Pluto, Uranus sextile Moon, Pluto sextile Jupiter, Mercury trine Venus, and Mars square Ascendant. The movie will go down as a cult classic. It globally is a big hit on social media and caused people to even dress, think, and feel differently (especially regarding their femininity). The mars square ascendant could be why men or people with internalized toxic masculinity feel uncomfortable with the movie. It triggers something in them and I feel like secretly that men who say they hate Barbie, actually love her??? They could be remembering childhood memories of the doll and possibly even wanted to play with one but weren't allowed to or wished they spent more time with their moms or sisters. The Mercury trine Venus represents how the film was able to convey women's thoughts well and the things they wish they could say but were suppressed due to the patriarchy. Women as a whole really love Barbie or think highly of her. The film's hypothetical birth chart has a 12th house stellium and still conveys the significance of intuition and the subconscious mind. What's beautiful is the film's Pluto is in the 5th house at 29° in retrograde. If they intended to have people reconnect with their inner child, then it was done successfully. Which confirms my belief and also hope for sweet, sappy, inspiring chick flicks about friendships and self love happening again.

This wouldn't be a post about the 2000's if we didn't discuss the Victoria Secret's fashion show. The first episode was released on August 1st, 1995 during prime time so around 8 pm PST / 10 pm EST. Here is the hypothetical chart (placidus) of the Victoria's Secret Fashion show. I have never in my life seen so many retrogrades before, YIKES! The show has a lot of karmic debt and with the amount of scandals the company had, I'm not even surprised. Saturn in the 1st house, so there is a strict beauty standard that the show wants to uphold and dislikes when someone else tries to break the mold. I watched the Victoria Secret documentary and this is what was said as well. The women who worked there tried to bring more inclusivity to the company and the men acted very pompous and stubborn whenever they tried to create positive changes. They wanted to get away with their cookie cutter looks and corrupted desires. North node being at 0° the fashion show was supposed to embrace change and throughout the years resisted it's main intention or purpose of making women feel sexy. Now that they are trying to rebrand, they'd really have to really get over their ego in order to succeed. The exact date and time of the upcoming fashion show is unsure but it will be aired sometime in the fall. With the Victoria Secret's Fashion Show Sun sign being in Leo, then that means the episode will air right after it's solar return (I'm noticing a pattern here of companies releasing projects after it's solar return👀). Things seem to be going in the show's favor and it will be fair or more inclusive as they said it would be. There is a 7th house stellium here and a Moon in the 1st house so it seems as though they want to come off as genuine as possible. Saturn still remains in the 1st house, so there is still some stern energy here, maybe the rules for the models is strict or there is some sort of tight schedule for the show? Jupiter in the 3rd house, people will be talking about it or there's going to be articles/podcasts about the show. Pluto square South Node, the company's past scandals will still linger in the air. Uranus trine Chiron, someone in PR could write formal apologies to the staff? Saturn square Jupiter, Saturn is not done with them yet. It's literally grabbing them by the throat and saying "repent for your sins". It's not great, but not terrible either, but I'm leaning towards the fashion show will do just fine. The women will be exceptionally beautiful and the style of the clothes is gonna be different. It could take some time for people to be on board again with the show airing due to past controversies. Some will enjoy it for nostalgia, while others will not care to watch because it's not their thing or won't watch out of support for the victims.

The Tour '23's birth chart (whole sign)

The show having its Aquarius Moon in the 12th house 24° is very significant in my opinion given the fact it displays the hidden nature of women and the different aspects of the divine feminine. I watched it today and there was a lot of focus on motherhood, feeling unique or out of place in the world (a lot of people saying they felt like an alien), and having different body types, attributes, or features being seen. With an Aries chiron and north node, I feel their way of approaching things was more blunt and why they were more comfortable exhibiting/talking about scars, stretch marks, protesting, and (tw:) eating disorders. Another interesting aspect I noticed was mostly the narrator Gigi Hadid and the show has a Virgo Mercury in the 7th house 16°. Quite a few of the women narrating were mothers themselves, such as Gigi Hadid. Gigi has her Mercury in the 1st house and she has a Taurus stellium. The 7th house is connected to Venus and it is known for beauty, femininity, and love. There was also 5 segments all around the world but the show made its debut in Lagos, Nigeria. The Pisces ascendant I believe explains the fluidity and ability to transform or adapt to your environment. As well as being sensitive, free spirited, and having spiritual consciousness, for example, there was the use of Yoruba and Igbo mythology in the fashion show. The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show originally had a Leo stellium and it was more superficial, a lot of hyper focus on glitz and glam. Where as now there is a Pisces stellium and still has a familiarity of signs from its original birth chart (the essence of Libra, Taurus, and Leo still being there). The Capricorn Pluto in the 11th house 27° acknowledges what they have done in the past and their problematic behavior. With 27° being a Gemini degree, its as if the company is wanting to say to the generation: "Let's talk about it". The fashion designers in the documentary all discussed the importance of self expression and their hardships to get there. Doja Cat being the main performer of the series isn't surprising given the fact she is also a Libra Sun. Similar to the show, Doja and Victoria's Secret, are both known for being quite controversial (perfect pair, don't you think?). With The Tour 23's Sun being in the 8th house, it feels that it is the death of their ego. A new chapter for the company, while still keeping some parts of itself and it's past. Neptune and Saturn being in the 1st house explains why everyone was so vulnerable about their journey, insecurities, and dealing with self criticism. With its ascendant being a leo degree (5°) I believe it will gain some traction or buzz because of the individualistic style and fresh new faces / designers, but it won't be anything that will people talk about long term.

Week of 2/24 - 3/2

astrology forecast + collective tarot card for the week

Card for this week: 3 of Swords - the return..... (the weekly card back for the week of the Cancer Full Moon in January). as mentioned then- potential for heartbreaks, grief, any flavor of emotional pain coming up this week. in many cases, this won't necessarily be a current event (especially now that we're in and out of Retrograde Land), but something is pointing to an internal hurt that demands to be recognized. give yourself the permission to grieve and mope a little this week. it won't be forever! ~ only way out is through ~

Transits/Astro forecast: GET YOUR SHIT DONE THIS WEEK IF YOU CAN.... everything is direct until saturday! not long but it's something! mercury retrograde shadow begins this weekend, venus retrograde begins shortly after, march begins, still unwinding the mayhem from the mars retrograde (now in the post-retrograde shadow period) but this is a brief moment to catch your breath. goodness. given this week's card, there are likely some emotions catching up with you that need to be processed. address those! no need to mindlessly carry them!

a note about venus retrograde: the last time we had venus retrograde in aries was spring of 2017. take note of any themes from that time that might be re-emerging to be resolved. acknowledge it, let it go!

thursday 2/27 - new moon in pisces square jupiter, mercury sextile uranus - expansive ass day! we're slowly entering eclipse season, in the last lunar cycle of the astrological year, and the transits are challenging us to think outside the box/see ourselves in a new light. the next few weeks will be deeply transformative and this is like a checkpoint. how are you feeling? where are you heading? does anything need adjustment? what do you need?

saturday 3/1 - venus retrograde begins, moon conjunct mercury, neptune and north node - as mentioned above, venus retrograde is picking back up with some old business this spring to ask us to close some old chapters for ourselves. the transits today insist upon feeling those old feelings and releasing them. simply admitting that something happened and immediately trying to push it out of your mind will not do much to resolve it. with the north node joining all of the piscean/retrograde energy, i feel like there's a lot coming together for you that just requires you to clear out the clutter first. this reflection time is important in your self-actualization journey!

sunday 3/2 - sun square jupiter, moon conjunct chiron and square mars - lots of similar energy to yesterday. big feelings and desires to get things moving. potential for some hangups or things to feel like a step backward, but don't let those get to you! you're much further along that you realize. do what you can to ground yourself, lots of volatility in the air this weekend.

potential journal prompts:

What might you be feeling right now that you're judging yourself for feeling? (ie are old feelings coming back up and frustrating you because you thought they were over and dealt with?)

What sort of relational wounds or situations were playing out summer 2023? spring 2017? what would you like to change or recognize no longer applies to you?

What would you like to be doing with your time? Without thinking about any logistics or exactly how it would pan out, where do you find yourself to be most comfortable or what feels most redeeming to you?

Astrology thoughts & observations pt. 4

👾 Anything Mars touches infuses the aspect with desire. With Mercury it's the desire to center your thoughts. With the Sun it's the desire to center the self and the expression that comes with it. With Venus it's the desire to connect and relate.

👾 Procrastination can be seen through the Moon, Jupiter and Neptune. The opposite of procrastination is anticipation (Mercury & Saturn). Mercury and Saturn show anticipation because it’s the energy you get when the outcome you expect is desirable or advantageous to you (like learning or building something).

👾 People are more likely to recognise you as an authority figure (in any situation) when you exhibit the traits and behaviours of the signs on your 10H, MC and Saturn placement (and wherever you have Capricorn on the cusp); you can use this derivatively too = want to be seen as an authority at work (even if you’re not the boss)? 10th place (authority) from the 6H (work) is the 3H, so the way you communicate in work settings should align with whatever sign you have on the 3H for the best outcomes.

👾 Venus-Saturn (harsh aspects) can look like the creation of unnecessary blocks to Venusian things - Saturn and Venus do like each other, but harsher aspects between the two can make ease (Venus) seem more difficult and harder to attain (Saturn) than it actually is. It can also show up as making something really complicated look simple or natural.

👾 9H + its ruler shows how you go about reaching a greater understanding of things. 3H + its ruler shows how you should approach learning it in the first place.

👾 Mercurial signs on or ruling the MC are the conduits of information = delivery (Mercury) of things that serve (Virgo) to inform (Gemini) the public (MC). This is very good when the 12th and 2nd derivative places of Gemini and Virgo are satisfied to avoid disappointment and depletion of resources; eg: it’s good when credit is given (♉︎ + ♋︎) = the seed and the source; it’s good when there is acknowledgement and reciprocity (♌︎ + ♎︎).

👾 Transit Jupiter aspecting your Sun can trigger the inspiration for a change in your life direction and experiences. Same goes if this aspect shows up in your Solar Return chart.

👾 Speaking of Jupiter, it’s important to remember that both faith AND doubt can be beliefs too. Jupiter = perspective.

my 2023 Solar Return chart or "Great Expectations"

my birthday is coming up next month, and that's why I wanted to check my Solar Return chart for this year to see if it had worked properly for me (spoiler: it didn't work out the way I had hoped). I attach the chart below. 1. first of all, my 1st house Solar Jupiter in the Natal 9th house. honestly, I expected this year to be a really prosperous and eventful one. there we no bad aspects either (actually, there were no aspects with other planets at all). probably, that's why the whole year appeared to be "empty" and tasteless as I see it now (maybe the 12th house Saturn is also responsible). especially, in terms of the issues related to the 9th house. I could make a far-fetched argument and say that passing my Korean exam could be counted as an achievement, but... is that really enough for Jupiter's influence? I expected more. Jupiter is also close to my Natal Moon... well, the number of times I've been depressed because I was unable to travel abroad has increased dramatically. 2. another disappointment. just listen: connection between the 1st and the 7th Natal and Solar charts, Vertex in the conjunction with the DSC, Mars and Moon in the 7th house, Solar Pluto in the Natal 5th house, Jupiter positively aspecting the 7th house, Natal Venus in the 7th Solar house... here I also expected something special. I saw a lot of articles where such placements were describing a year of significant change in your romantic relationships, and even meeting your future husband. again - N-O-T-H-I-N-G. probably, my 12th house Solar Neptune being in my 7th Natal house have led me to believe this, but it was not meant to be. I was wrong. oh, wait a sec - this year I had VERY painful and ABSOLUTELY irrational crush (I'm too old for this shit and I can't really understand why and how it happened) on the celebrity with crazy Scorpio stellium and, guess, having Capricorn as Rising (the 7th house Solar Scorpio Moon and Capricorn Pluto falling into my 5th Natal house). well, is HE going to be my husband or what? :))) 3. Pisces Rising. well, it met expectations. the whole year I've been extra-sensitive. I guess the reason is that my Asc and Dsc swapped places and the issues of Dsc have become dominant this year. I've never cried that much on some strange stuff like absence of relationship. I really felt very lonely this year. like "I'm not that bad but haven't been on a date for 3 years already. what's wrong with me? do I have real friends? am I a friend to someone?" (guess, I also should blame my 11th house Solar Pluto). however, I should also mention that my appearance this year really matched Pisces ASC, I've learned to express my creative side more often. I think of it as a sublimation...

4. active 6th house. Venus, Sun, Mercury, Juno, Lilith here... well, okay, work is all I can remember from this year. work, work, work - honestly, I'm so tired of my life being so boring. however, I started this blog and I'm still trying to write something here. I haven't given up on it yet, and it's become a routine for me - the ruler of the 3rd house is in the 6th house. I guess, Solar Mercury in the 12th Natal house determined astrology as the main topic of my writings. but maybe Part of Fortune in the 12th Solar house helped...

5. the 9th house in Sagittarius + Gemini IC with it's ruler Mercury in the 6th house. I moved from my hometown and began working at a new place. Solar MC in Sagittarius also explains the fact that I'm working for the company connected with foreign affairs. along with the 2nd Solar house being in the 9th Natal.

6. Chiron in the 1st house in Aries. as the 1st house is usually associated with our body, I can say for sure that during this year, I have changed my style several times (I can add Leo Venus here). as Chiron is connected with traumas and the healing of these traumas - this year I also made 4 piercing (thanks to Taurus transit, but that's another story...). it has an opposition with my natal Venus in Libra - well, I agree that piercing and my planned tattoo are not really matching this Venus, haha. moreover, I had some really dangerous, purely Aries-styled situations that could have led to serious physical damage for me, but in the end, I'm okay.

7. Solar IC is in my Natal 10th house, and I currently live separately from my parents. however, this placement often indicates that family plays a significant role in matters related to housing.  my aunt (who is also my neighbor now) found a place for me. additionally, my younger sister is now living with me.

overall: I was expecting far more from this year based on the chart. some things have indeed happened, but others haven't gone as I had hoped. I'm looking forward to what my 24th year will bring (I plan to experience a huge glow up and popularity rise as I'll have Leo ASC in the 5 degree...) Thanks for reading! Picture credits: Pinterest

July 2023 Important Dates

AKA my notes on The Astrology Podcast's July Forecast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfLydVGC0Zk Today's episode is hosted by Chris Brennan, Austin Coppock, and Kira Sutherland.

June recap: Apple announces VR headset (Saturn in Pisces/Pluto in Aquarius) allows you to control the degree of AR involved. Also Saturn in Pisces are some nautical tragedies: the high-profile incident where a submersible full of millionaires was crushed under the ocean--with Saturn we often lament the walls or obstacles we run into, but in this case the boundary wasn't strong enough, and the 300/600 Pakistani refugees who drowned off the coast of Greece. Speaking of the wrath of the sea god, there were also orcas attacking commercial boats. More water-related Saturn news: on June 14th astronomers released a paper with evidence of phosphorous, one of the building blocks of life, on Saturn's moon Enceladus. Jupiter joined Uranus in Taurus, and two producers of lab-grown meat have now been approved for sale to consumers in the US--where Uranus messes with money & food, and Jupiter confirms/makes lawful some of these developments. Then there's the mutiny of the Wagner unit of the Russian military definitively undermining the current powers that be there. This occurred close to the Mars-Uranus square, and is connected to Saturn stationing. Austin says this is a precursor to the Saturn-Neptune conjunction, a combination which has corresponded to major events in Russian history like the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, the Russian Revolution, the assassination of Alexander II. He compares it to Uranus in Gemini for the United States in terms of a aspect that will show you the major turning points for the nation. This aspect is going to take place over a 5-year period rather than 2 or 3, so it will take some time to manifest.

We're entering the month off a Sun-Mercury conjunction in Cancer, Venus & Mars are moving through the last decan of Leo together, Jupiter is building up to a conjunction with Uranus in Taurus (which will be within 10 degrees by the end of the month), Saturn rx is at 7Pisces, about to move back to 6. And of course, much of this month will be building up to Venus retrograde.

July 1st - Sun-Mercury Conjunction (Cazimi)

July 3rd - Full Moon in Capricorn

There's a trine between the the Moon (11Capricorn) and Jupiter (9Taurus), a kind of supportive counterbalance to the Venus-Uranus square that is still within a degree of exactness. It may not be flashy, but it's stable. Venus-Uranus may want us to make lots of change, but getting some space might be the best course of action here. Kira suggests paying attention to our nervous systems with Uranus and describes it as "itchy"--lay off the stimulants and go for soothing herbal teas and magnesium-rich foods. Kira points out Venus is also associated with copper, which has a sort of seesaw relationship with zinc in the body, and suggests zinc-rich foods as well, especially because zinc can help the immune system, which is also affected by stress.

July 10th - Mars enters Virgo This is a major shift, as this sets him up to oppose Saturn (exact July 20th-21st). Mars in Virgo is a great time to make small, systematic adjustments over time. Virgo loves routines--don't try to overhaul everything at once; have a plan to build up your endurance for climbing up the mountains. Mars in Virgo breaks things down into smaller pieces well. More under Mars opposite Saturn.

July 11th - Mercury enters Leo

July 17th - New Moon in Cancer

The New Moon at 24Cancer is opposite to Pluto at 29Capricorn--time to reflect on the ~15 years we've had of Pluto in Capricorn. This Sun-Pluto opposition is building up at the same time as the Mars-Saturn opposition. Keywords involve power struggles, especially old ones as we're revisiting the sign Pluto just left. There's more to be done and tidied up. Thinking of The Crab's shell, what more do you need to create to protect yourself? Themes of protection and the home may arise. There's also a fairly close sextile to Uranus (22Taurus) which may help us think outside the box. With Uranus in Taurus pointing to rising interest rates/financial insability and the luminaries in Cancer shining light on our homes, it may also be a time to think about our homes. Pluto in Capricorn has historically corresponded to low interest rates. Pluto has also been showing us the incresing wealth disparity both domestically and globally. Imagining a hermit crab with its home on its back, we may be able to at least identify our most vulnerable points & reinvest in how to be safer. The Sun is also right at the bendings of the nodes, who themselves are at 29Aries/Libra. Venus retrograde is soon to arrive as well.

July 20th - Mars Opposes Retrograde Saturn Mars and Saturn represent two different extremes: hot and cold, fast and slow. Austin describes this as grim competence & doing what needs to be done. Think relentlessness. But be careful and don't push yourself too hard--this is the classic placement for accidentally hurting yourself doing workouts, for example. We feel like we're stuck in one direction and can't stop going in the other but, remember, pace yourself and it'll happen eventually. Chris also points out that this is a placement of limits and breaking points--sometimes we push our limits to find new ones, but we may also snap like a rubber band. Austin says to push 110% mentally, but only 80% physically. Pace yourself.

The Pisces/Virgo axis gives us big picture vs. small picture, or seeing the forest for the trees. Saturn in Pisces has a big, weighty, but unclear goal, and Mars and Virgo can give us the one, small, doable task each day that brings us closer to that goal. With two unyielding planets Austin compares this aspect to getting two ingredients which are each toxic on their own, but which together can form a medicine--you just need to put in the work. Even if we do run up against our limits, though, Mars will get some support from a trine to Jupiter around the end of the month (July 31st-August 1st), especially with two earth signs stabilizing and grounding us. We're feeling the benefits of our two weeks' hard work almost immediately afterwards.

July 22nd - Sun enters Leo, Venus stations Retrograde Venus retrogrades often indicate turning points in our lives, especially with respect to relationships and creativity. We'll have 40 days and 40 nights of introspection on this subject. These experiences tend to pull together conflicting experiences of attraction and repulsion, the back-and-forth that leads to eventual clarity of what you like and what you don't like. The waters will get muddy along the way. Kira brings up that Venus signifies sugar in our diet, so a Venus retrograde can be a good time to adjust our diets--what pleasure foods are working for you and which aren't?

For Venus and Mercury retrogrades, the planet begins on one side of the Sun (for example, Venus is currently rising & setting before the Sun), disappears, and by the end appears on the other side of it (so she'll rise & set after the Sun). Not only does Venus cross over the Sun, she also crosses over to the other side of the ecliptic (North/South). Thus with this crossing over we can think of the link between taste and distaste--fashion trends often change during Venus rx, especially old trends which were once distasteful coming back in style. Hair trends especially may change in the sign Leo, and the dull earth tones may make way for more color. Big, wide pants and big flowy skirts may come back in as well.

We are also already in the shadow period for Venus retrograde, which began on June 19th.

"Pre-[retrograde ]shadow" refers to Venus's first pass through the degree which will later be the last point of her retrograde, in this case 12Leo12. She will station retrograde on July 22nd at 18Leo36, backtracking for about 20 days until September 3rd, where she'll station direct at that point at 12 degrees of Leo. She won't leave the post-retrograde shadow until she passes that degree at which she stationed & started going backwards (28Leo36), which happens on October 7th. At that point she'll finally start to enter new territory for the first time since lat July. Any personal placements between 12 and 28 degrees of Leo or other fixed signs will have Venus hitting that point three times over the next few months. This is one of the things that's so important about Venus retrogrades--what's normally a fairly short transit is stretched out over several months. --Venus is often depicted holding a mirror--do we like what we see when we look in the mirror? Not just in appearance, but metaphorically too. Do we like who we are in certain situations? With a bright and loud sign Leo, too, we may have revelations especially over the public and private space. Some parts of us want to be seen, some don't; different parts of us need more light and others need less. We have a feline representative of the Sun's sign as well--cats like to hang out where they can see but not be seen, and questions around visibility will definitely come up during this transit. What parts of yourself do you lead with? --As she prepares to retrograde, Venus finds herself stuck between a conjunction to Mars and a square to Uranus, but when she stations direct she'll be square Jupiter--things may start out rough but we'll definitely have some insight & freedom in the end!

Additionally, Chris has provided a Venus retrograde worksheet where we can connect it to our life events, especially the last few times she was in Leo: https://theastrologypodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/venus-retrograde-worksheet.pdf Austin points out this worksheet can also tell us which signs will actually be more impactful for us, Chris points out that sometimes it can just be a little bit of reconnecting to the past. This worksheet can help you figure out which case to expect. --Chris also brings up a recent Twitter discussion for Leo risings especially (yours truly!) as to whether to warn against doing makeovers at this time, or if it fits the symbolism well. Austin advises to experiment during the retrograde, but don't do anything permanent until she stations--not just for appearance, but relationships as well. Especially with some difficult configurations at the beginning of the retrograde, we're more likely to run into issues if we don't wait until both benefics station in contact with each other September. With a cazimi around August 12th or 13th, the second half of this retrograde should be much easier than the first half. With Leo as a youthful sign and Venus concerned with appearance, we may have themes around appearance and aging arise--Kira has had a lot of plastic surgery chart requests around this time. Questions of whether we feel good about ourselves from our appearance may arise--what can we do to affirm ourselves and our self-image? Sometimes what we see and dislike in ourselves is not actually reality; let's seek the truth. Self-knowledge is valuable as gold and even more difficult to mine. And how does one know oneself but through the other? Feeling authentic about yourself is also a big theme at this time. Health is physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. (Look to the house Venus transits to see where this may manifest most.)

July 27th - Mercury conjunct Retrograde Venus

July 28th - Mercury enters Virgo Although this is the sign of both his domicile and exaltation, there's a lot of work for him to do there, as his copresence to one malefic and opposition to the other puts some pressure on him. Things may be more soluble, not easy. We may have more ideas on how to deal with the Mars-Saturn opposition, but both planets will continue to weigh on him. He'll retrograde in Virgo later in August, and earlier that same month he'll oppose Saturn, so we'll be revisiting some of these themes.

July 30th - Electional chart (not pictured)

This chart is at about 6:35AM local time; adjust until the Ascendant is about 13 degrees of Leo. This is a day chart just after sunrise, with the Sun in domicile in Leo and in the first whole sign house. The Sun is applying to a square with Jupiter (13Taurus) in the 10th whole sign house, making this a pretty good chart for career matters. The Moon in Capricorn is applying to a trine with Jupiter, affirming our endeavors all day. Mercruy is in domcile & exaltation in Virgo; if you can try to get the Midheaven around 3Taurus so it can trine the Moon and mitigate her 6th house position, and so it can trine Mercury as well to mitigate his 2nd house position. Although Venus is retrograde in the 1st house, slowing things down, she still brings a positive influence. This is a good general chart for starting a range of endeavors, as are other times later in the month once Mars & Saturn have cleared their opposition.

Overall, July's manageable, but not mellow. With Venus retrograde and Mars opposite Saturn, we've got a couple helpings of things to handle. You can still go out, but keep your seatbelt on when you drive and wear a helmet on your bike.

November Horoscopes: 🔮🍂✨

🔥Aries - Let the festivities begin! With this month starting out with minimal planetary support for your sign, you may notice a lot going on around you that you’re not directly involved in. This can actually be great news for Aries! With the NN still transiting in a bountiful conjunction to your Sun sign this will leave many opportunities for Aries throughout the month. In the beginning of the month, before the super moon on the 15th, you may find yourself focusing heavily on the details of your daily life and personal wellness. Some Aries may even start a new hobby or take a new class that inspires an entirely new perspective on their current wellness routine! After the super moon - you will find yourself focused more on fun and festivities with friends and family, which will liven up your social life. Enjoy the positive changes coming this month, and the confidence boost that’ll come with it!

⛰️Taurus - It’s time to finish what you started! With the super moon this month on the 15th falling in conjunction with your Sun sign - emotions will be running high, and trends that may have been prevalent in 2023 may make a brief return. This is especially true when it comes to money matters, and matters involving security. By the end of the month you will have dealt with these resurfacing themes and finalized what your decision on these matters are, officially leaving them behind you. Stand strong in what you believe in and don’t allow anything or anyone to make you question your worth!

🌬️Gemini - It’s time to take the risk! With Jupiter retrograding in conjunction with your Sun sign, this is a time where big risks can easily bring big rewards for Gemini. This is especially true in any area involving business arrangements, or long term partnerships. My best advice to you this month is to take this risk around the super moon for the best long-term results. This powerful moon will aid in orchestrating the best outcome for Gemini to get the exact reaction they desire. Once Mercury goes retrograde in opposition to your sun sign on the 25th, problems in communication may cause shifts in confidence for Gemini and could cause doubt to creep in. Don’t wait, just jump!

🌊Cancer - It’s time to let your emotions lead your actions! This month is going to start with Mars in conjunction with your sun sign, which will make it feel near impossible to act without being guided by your emotions. This, added to the boost coming on November 15th’s super moon in Taurus and Saturn going direct in Pisces, will create a super storm of emotion for Cancer. My advice to you this month is from the period of the 1st-16th, allow your emotions to guide you to what feels best for you. As a naturally emotive sign, it’s no surprise that you may have some pesky emotions trying to come up and “ruin your peace”. However, it’s time to alter your perspective and learn from what your feelings are trying to tell you. It’s now or never Cancer!

🔥Leo - It’s gonna be a busy month! With Mars falling into a conjunction with your Sun after the super moon on the 15th, this is going to amp up your energy levels with an increase of tasks to match. This may sound chaotic Leo, but rest assured it won’t be anything you can’t handle. As much as the pressure of accomplishing your goals may be on your mind, so will ensuring you’re not missing any pesky details to sabotage your plans. Allow this busy month to show you that you're capable of more than you ever thought possible, and step up to the plate with confidence. It’s time to show yourself what you can really do!

⛰️Virgo - This month is going to have you fully embrace your observant nature! With the super moon on the 15th falling into Taurus, Pluto officially shifting out of Capricorn for good, and Saturn going direct in Pisces; all of these astrological aspects are going to have Virgo feeling hidden in the shadows. This mentality can actually be used in your favor! Most Virgos have many plans in the works, and could learn from the environment around them. My advice to you this month is to lean into your observant nature and hustle in silence. It’s time to put your focus back on bettering yourself!

🌬️Libra - Get ready to feel the pressure! This month is going to amp up the pressure Libras are feeling while accomplishing their goals. Much like Leo, Libra will have an increase in tasks, yet most Libras won’t feel that boost in energy until after the super moon on the 15th. My advice to you this month is to make sure you are keeping your focus on the details so you can easily manage tackling your tasks and achieving your pre-set goals without any mishaps. Once Mercury goes retrograde on the 25th, Libra may feel the urge to travel or escape everyday reality. This can easily be accomplished with a day trip, or a short trip, if finances and tasks are managed well. Don’t let your goals prevent you from getting what you want - just prepare properly so it’s possible!

🌊Scorpio - Here’s to a new era for Scorpio! With the month starting out with a new moon in Scorpio, this will have most Scorpios coming into the month off of a high from accomplishments that occurred in late October. This enhanced mindset mixed with the super moon on the 15th will hold even more surprises in store for Scorpio, mainly between the 15th and the 25th of the month. The themes surrounding these surprises will enhance security and enable permanency into this new chapter. My advice to you this month is to maintain the positivity you started the month with and let this perspective carry you through the events of the month for the best results. It’s only up from here!

🔥Sagittarius - This month is going to ensure you’re communicating effectively, or you will encounter obstacles filled with lessons on what you need to change! With Mercury going retrograde in conjunction to your sun sign after the super moon on the 25th, it’s important to note that communication will be pivotal for positive outcomes without drama or misunderstandings after this point. Prior to Mercury's retrograde, you will be introduced to the themes that will become prevalent during the retrograde on or around the 6th when Mercury enters its shadow period. My advice to you is to pay close attention to how those people in your life are speaking to you, and how much faith they hold in your ability as a communicator. This month will be full of opportunities to persevere past obstacles that normally lead to avoidance or stagnation. It’s time to grow into the communicator you’ve always meant to be, it’s not time to avoid this growth and stay the same. You’ve been warned!

⛰️Capricorn - It’s time to break free! With the very big transit of Pluto in conjunction with your sun sign FINALLY making its way into Aquarius, this is marking an end to a very long transit for Capricorns. This release in pressure will finally have Capricorns feeling like they can slow down and thrive in their own authenticity. By the time of the super moon in Taurus on the 15th, Capricorns will already be able to feel the release associated with the final bow of Pluto’s 16 year conjunction to their sun sign. Since 2008, Pluto has been placing transformative pressure on Capricorn to continuously change in order to achieve what they have grown into now. My advice to you this month is to enjoy where you are now, and most importantly WHO you’ve become since then. It’s time to celebrate your accomplishments!

🌬️Aquarius - Get ready for a wild ride! With Pluto entering its permanent conjunction with your Sun sign until 2044, get ready for the most transformative period in your lifetime! Once we pass the supermoon in Taurus on the 15th, Aquarius’s will feel the sudden urge to make changes, and feel more inspired than they have ever felt before to make necessary changes towards growth. For those who know what house they have Aquarius in on their natal charts, understand that this house will experience the most changes over the next 20 years due to this heavy transit. Pluto is the ruler of harsh lessons and transformative energy, it's known to destroy what you know and replace it with something better. My best advice to you this month and throughout this long transit ahead is to tackle any challenges ahead with confidence and view any obstacles as opportunities to grow. It’s only just begun!

🌊Pisces - Get ready to embrace even more blessings heading your way! With Saturn ending its retrograde in your Sun sign on the same day as the supermoon in Taurus, Pisces can expect many changes in terms of security and abundance heading in their direction. Some things that Pisces have desired for a long time will suddenly become a tangible reality, and other blessings can easily fall into Pisces laps when they least expect it. My advice to you this month is to aim high when manifesting what you want in terms of permanency and security for your future. Nothing is impossible for you now, in fact, the only thing standing in your way is doubt. It’s time to finally release any pesky doubt trying to stick around and leave room for more blessings and surprises. You are worthy!

week of september 3rd, 2023

these are written predominantly for the *rising* signs but they are also intuitively "channeled" enough that they should work for any dominant energy you have! (try your sun if you don't know rising, or more advanced readers can try moon, anywhere you have a stellium, etc and see what works best for you!)

aries: venus in leo finally goes direct, and your creativity and fun start to amp back up. a spark of life returns to your aura. be advised venus is still in "shadow" for a few weeks and some precautions should remain in place for that time, but the fire is being stoked again.

taurus: all in all this is a very auspicious week for taureans, even if jupiter does turn retrograde in your sign. simply be careful not to be overly generous, but also there's no need to be stingy with others nor with yourself. love your inner child, and celebrate the direct motion of venus, your ruling planet.

gemini: although mercury remains retrograde, its conjunction with the sun this week marks a turning point metaphysically and mentally. use that energy to change a neural rut you've carved in your mind, so that you traverse intellectual paths you prefer. you're more neuroplastic than usual.

cancerians: retrograding activity is aboil but it affects you less than many others. the wane of the moon may have your energy a little low but this is easily remedied with good sleep and nutrition. don't skimp on that self care.

leo: venus finally ends her long retrograde in your sign this week! still don't go too wild as there is about a month of a shadow period afterward. but the chaos - or utter crushing boredom as has been the case for some - recedes starting now.

virgo: those who are wise will continue to take mercury retrograde seriously, and you also have a sober ceres transit taking place this week, but even with all that, the money aligns for you all week. try to remember that mercurial money loves to be fluid and in exchange; while you can build wealth, do not hoard.

libra: ceres is at the precipice of leaving your sign to head into scorpio. for you that will be financially nourishing, but this week she's still in your first house and it may be tempting to shell out unnecessary expenses. avoid the temptation. other financial blessings are in place, perhaps a loan or a gift or inheritance come through.

scorpio: your career and/or public image have undoubtedly been a focus all summer. the direct motion of venus brings about one last sweep of those recurring themes. if you feel you've been observed under harsh lighting so to speak, it improves from here, but be sure to integrate and implement the things you've learned through those trials.

sagittarius: your ruling planet jupiter moves retrograde in your 6th house of sacred routines while venus in leo, your 9th house, shifts back to direct motion. the more sacred, holy, and *interesting* you can make this week, the more auspicious it will be for you!

capricorn: the mermaid goats may well be in for a fiery romantic week this week, grounded in that good taurean energy as jupiter turns retrograde. if you don't see it on the horizon already, it's still a great idea to do some art and if paint and pens or a composition are not really your thing, consider how you can turn your life into an artistic expression in itself.

aquarius: venus direct in leo FINALLY means big!! things in your committed relationships, not just the romantic ones but especially those if you have them. the cycle isn't over for another month or so while venus leaves the shadow of that retrograde, but the pace picks up and the fun returns to your seventh house again. remember other people are a reflection of you in so many ways. what have you seen in the mirror since june?

pisces: the period does still have a melancholy tone and some will be panicking over a large number of retrogrades, but for you it's nevertheless an auspicious week. you may feel sad, but no amount of sadness can actually subtract the joy in life. try to make room for both simultaneously. all will be well.

Energy Update: January 2024

January is a "9" month [1 (January) + 8 (2+0+2+4=8) = 9] in an "8" year. Though we are on the edge of something new - both represented by some of the astrological transits of the month and the beginning of a new year - we still have some stuff to wrap up before we can truly move onwards. A lot has changed since the beginning of 2020 - everything really, if you want to look at it that way. As our lives slowly bend and adapt to the changes that have been wrought in the world, we still have to live in it.

Numerologically, 9 is our last number as each multi-digit number gets added back together again. In this way we know that February is a 10/1 month: 2 (February) + 8 (2023) = 10 = 1+0 = 1. February is not the beginning, but February is a beginning. Now we just need to get there.

The Details

We begin January with the Sun and Pluto in Capricorn, retrograde Mercury and Mars in Sagittarius, Venus in Scorpio, Jupiter and retrograde Uranus in Taurus, and Saturn and Neptune in Pisces. This is an unusual alignment of planets and worth noting here. We know that the Sun, Mercury, and Venus travel together but right now they are being joined by both Mars and Pluto as they cross over Sagittarius and Capricorn this season. Additionally, our other planets are congregated together as well in Taurus and Pisces. It's also worth noting that all of this (/crazyhandwaving) began four years ago when all of our planets except for Uranus and Neptune were in the sign of Capricorn.

This month the last of our planets from this 2020 transit, Pluto, finally leaves Capricorn for good. This is one of the big gong crashes that denotes time. Pluto will remain in Aquarius until 2043.

Additionally, our Sun enters the sign of Aquarius, and Mercury, Venus, and Mars will enter the sign of Capricorn. January also marks the end of retrograde season for the next four months as Mercury and Uranus station direct.

The Nitty Gritty

January begins with a bang as Jupiter stations direct on 12/31/23 and Mercury stations direct on 1/1/24. This is a great omen for both January and 2024 as a whole as the first day of the month/year will set the stage for the energy of the time ahead. All signs point to "go" as we only have one single planet left in retrograde (Uranus). Uranus also stations direct this month (on 1/27); we will not experience another planetary retrograde until April.

That said, many of us are still carrying some of the weight of our pasts and it may be hindering our progress. As mentioned above, January is a "9" month of endings that will lead to February being a "10/1" month of beginnings. In this way, January can be seen as a series of releases that can help to unburden us of the things that we do not need to bring with us into the future we see ahead. This process may be triggering for some, especially those who are lost in the past or unduly holding onto something that has passed its expiration date.

The big release dates to watch out for include: 1/1 when Mercury stations direction, 1/4 when Mars enters Capricorn, 1/11 our new moon in Capricorn, 1/13 when Mercury enters Capricorn, 1/20 when BOTH the Sun and Uranus enter Aquarius, 1/23 when Venus enters Capricorn, and 1/27 when Uranus stations direct.

Any of the above dates can be used magically to speed this change along if you are so inclined. Each of these days may be a relief or triggering depending on your life circumstances and general personality. Stay prepared and aware.

There are also a few days of the month where life may seem to "help" you along on this release process, whether you wish it to or not. As our personal planets move through the sign of Capricorn, each will make a cardinal t-square with our lunar nodes of fate (in Aries and Capricorn). Each of these transits will carry with it some of the energy of eclipse season. Some doors may open during this time and some will inevitably close. When the lunar nodes are involved we sometimes find that it is too late to make certain choices, but also that new and interesting choices have become available to us. Our Sun will form a t-square with the nodes on 1/10, Mercury will on 1/28, and Mars will on 1/30. In February, Venus will form one final t-square to complete this process.

For transits like these there is one simple piece of advice: don't hold on too tightly. With our North Node in Aries, we are being asked to stand up for ourselves and that often means letting go of prior conditioning from our childhood or society that keeps us small and forces us into conformity. This can trigger a lot of deep-seated defenses and unhealthy coping mechanisms from our past. The big flex is to name it and bring it into the light rather than letting these things control or destroy us. If you have Aries or Libra in the 12th house this may be especially difficult for you, but this makes this work especially important.

Chiron, also sitting in Aries, shows us that being our unique selves can be quite a painful process. Each of our personal planets will also square off with the Wounded Healer during this time and each of these dates (Sun square Chiron on 1/6, Mars square Chiron on 1/25, and Mercury square Chiron on 1/28 plus Venus in February) is another chance to reexamine our core wounding surrounding standing out versus fitting in. This shit leads deep back into our childhoods and often is the center of our deepest fears. If you are into shadow work, these topics will likely prove especially fruitful during these times. A word to the wise about Chiron: the way out of the pain is always through examining it and learning to understand and create adaptive strategies for management and mitigation. Many people who have Chiron highlighted in their natal birth chart find that healing "out loud" helps them to deal with and make sense of more ouchy moments like these.

In this way, the month may feel very cyclical. You see a way forward and grab for it. It's painful beyond what was expected as it sparks deep wounds. From there the work is to transcend and release the wounds. Rinse and repeat.

It's certainly not work for the faint of heart. But that's not a surprise, we're in Capricorn season - a sign known for almost being compelled to work. This isn't the summer work of planting seeds, tending, and bringing them to harvest. This is the winter work of reexamination and reclamation. Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, is sitting in a supportive sextile in Pisces to help us along in this process but it WILL be work. The big flex all month is to keep moving, to keep putting one foot in front of the other, and to keep on keepin' on. With some many chances, you CAN get it right.

Our two lunar events for the month are a new moon at 20° Capricorn on 1/11 and a full moon at 05° Leo on 1/25.

The new moon will be more supercharged as 1/11 is 111 reflecting an influx of 1/new beginnings energy which will also be in close square to our lunar nodes. If you do not set intentions for the year on 1/1, 1/11 will be another strong time to do so. The new moon's numerology is 2/2 [2 (10 Capricorn Sun + 10 Capricorn Moon = 2), and 2 (2 Capricorn new moon + 9 January = 11 = 2] which shows that it is a powerful day for creation and togetherness.

Our full moon in Leo carries the energy of 7/7 [7 (11 Aquarius Sun + 5 Leo Moon = 16 = 7) and 7 (7 Aquarius full moon + 9 January = 16 = 7]. 7 is the number of spirituality and is generally associated with intuition and inner understandings of all kinds. This is a great day to divine on your journey through January and will aid in any magic designed to align you with where your path is leading you.

If you're looking for a day to do money magic or other prosperity work in January, Friday 1/12 is your day when Mars in Capricorn is in exact trine with Jupiter in Taurus. Work that earth money magic - Capricorn is seeing to their future and Taurus loves the finer things in life. This is a big luxury day - this is a day to treat yo' self even if you're not doing any magic. But do that money magic if you've got it - earthy trines like this don't come around every day.

I see two days to watch out for during the month.

On Saturday, 1/20, the Sun meets up in its yearly conjunction with our planet of death and transformation, Pluto and they both enter the sign of Aquarius in lockstep with one another. This is a big change of the guard and it's likely to be reflected both in the outer world at large and in our personal lives. Pluto has been in the sign of Capricorn for more than a decade and its force has been slowly eroding our outdated systems of government and bureaucracy. Now, it shifts its gaze to Aquarius where it will remain until 2043.

Pluto moves on a glacial scale so we shouldn't expect to see the effects of its ingress initially but what we should expect to see is the fallout of what has been left behind. Given the planet and its namesake, I use the term fallout very intentionally here. Capricorn rules the governing systems of our lives; in truth, it rules all things that are contractual like government bodies, businesses, and even marriage. Anything that requires signing a contract is in some way controlled by Saturn and Capricorn as Saturn's emissary in this world. Pluto has been shaking up these systems for quite some time and not all of them will survive the release that comes as our dwarf planet finally exits the scene.

Sometimes you don't know how bad the disaster is until it's over and the dust has settled. I would expect to see governmental shutdowns, businesses failing or entering bankruptcy, and the dissolution of marriages as the energy slowly begins to shift away from Capricorn and into Aquarius. In this sense, any structures that are held on by a thread will be most at risk through the beginning of the year. If this is you and it impacts your life specifically, I will guide you back to the words above: Don't Hold on too tight.

Sometimes things need to fall apart. Sometimes you can't pick up the pieces.

The second day of interest is 1/29 when Mars in Capricorn meets up in trine with Uranus in Taurus. I have found that it is best to keep an eye on when these two planets meet, regardless of the aspect that they make with one another. Mars is our planet of action and war and Uranus rules the unexpected disaster. This is Tower weather; it is best to do less and avoid any overt dangers if you can. It's a day to stay away from explosives of all kinds. Uranus in Taurus is especially eruption-prone, make of that what you will. We are nearing the end of Uranus's transit of Taurus (something that we should be very grateful for) but it's not over until it's over.

January is the cosmic right time to put in the work to better your life. January is the cosmic right time to take accountability for where you are the problem. January is the cosmic right time to let that shit go so that when February rolls around, you are ready.

MARGOT ROBBIE BIRTH CHART ANALYSIS

Let's analyze the chart of our real life barbie girl in a barbie world, margot robbie. Cancer rising and ruled by the Moon. The moon is in the 5th house of creativity, art, performance, and in scorpio, in the decan and bound of Mars.

Her fame increased when she played the role of a "dark" character. The character is Harley Quinn and this is scorpio energy. The 12th part of the moon is also there in the 5th house.

Her moon is in its depression in scorpio but it is received by Mars in its own domicile and in its own bound in the 10th house of career and public image.

Mars is the ruler of her Lot of Spirit in the 10th house and her Lot of Fortune and Lot of Victory in the 5th house, and Mars is with the 12th part of her Ascendant. Mercury rules her 3rd house of skills AND her 12th house which also contains her Venus in Gemini.

12th house also has to do with movies and media (escapism/fantasy) so this shows her skill in this area, and Mercury is in her 1st house which is its house of joy by accidental dignity. It is in cazimi (absorbed into the heart of the sun and strengthened).

It's with an exalted Jupiter as well which rules her 9h of foreign lands. Due to acting in hit movies, her popularity and status (exaltation) expands all over the world.

Jupiter is also the bound ruler of her Ascendant and the bound and decan ruler of her 12th house Venus. Venus rules her Lot of Exaltation in Taurus in the 11th house of fans and popularity. Her Jupiter and Venus are in antiscia. Her characters set trends in costumes and style.

When barbie was getting too much attention and popularity, Jupiter in Taurus was transiting her 11th house of popularity and Fandoms.

She was also in an Aries year and her Mars is dignified by being in its own sign. If you look at her circumambulation (directions from the Ascendant) you'll notice that currently her Asc is currently in the Mercury bound of Virgo (Mercury rejoices in her 1h) & since March 2023 the Ascendant is sextiling her ruler the moon in scorpio in the 5th house. By checking her planetary Dashas, she is in her saturn Dasha currently (those are periods that divide life snd each period has a planetary ruler). Saturn happens to be her Atmakaraka (soul indicator).

The meaning of Mercury in opposition to Jupiter on a birth or transit chart is that Mercury's scorching hot influence of communication, cleverness and language conflicts with Jupiter's eternal influence of philosophy, expansion and abundance...

Mercury Opposite Jupiter October 28, 2023 Talon Abraxas

Mercury opposite Jupiter transit brings big ideas and grand plans; you should feel optimistic and friendly. You may have many ideas and cover much ground, but you must narrow your view or take on fewer projects to make the most of this transit.

Transiting Jupiter Retrograde in Taurus 5/9 - 31/12 2023

"Let them eat leftovers"

Retrograde: revisit, recite, re-evaluate, reconsider, relive, retell.

Jupiter Retrograde in Taurus is a once-in twelve year planetary event. In astrological lore, Jupiter is considered the greater benefic and bringer of fortune, while Venus, the ruler of Taurus is assigned as the lesser, and the ruler of earthly wealth and treasures. Jupiter is the governor of all Universal Law and karmic benefits schemes. Jupiter RX in Taurus can therefore facilitate what is known as the 'law of compensation'. The universal law of compensation states that we will be rewarded for our past actions and virtuous efforts in generosity, helpfulness, and service to others. We can reap success for past positive actions and the work done in secret that we thought nobody noticed. This can be a period of good things coming for those who weren't waiting, because they weren't expecting anything in return.
