    Uranus + Neptune Wake us up

    The Full Moon in Leo arrived on Sunday igniting our passions and asking you to use your light in the ways that are uniquely yours. Neptune's recent move into Aries, the awakening energy of Uranus stationing direct, and the concentration of planets in Aquarius are showing up as humans joining together in protest all over the world. It's a scary, but also inspiring time to be alive. This is just the beginning as Saturn will enter Aries in a few weeks to join Neptune on Feb 20th and this Full Moon has opened the door for eclipse season to begin. I know that the intensity is not letting up, but find moments for yourself to ground your body and remember to breathe. We're in a marathon, not a sprint.  00:00 Introduction and Host Welcome00:26 Current Astrological Events01:03 Astrology in Business Context01:37 Astrological Themes and Historical Context03:05 Pluto and Personal Planets03:54 Uranus and Social Movements09:43 Neptune in Aries and New Era22:37 Full Moon in Leo and Eclipse Season35:35 Conclusion and Self-Care Tips

    New Moon in Capricorn + Aquarius Season begins

    The New Moon in Capricorn is helping you set some intentions for how to you want to show up in the world right now. With all the chaos it's important to lock in on how you want to take care of yourself so you can continue to show up for yourself, your family, your community. Right now the planets are clustered together moving like cars on a train from late Capricorn to early Aquarius. They're making the same transits to the same outer planets. This energetic bottleneck is forcing us to focus on just 1-2 things. It's a powerful way to "dictate your fate," as the choices and changes you make today will likely have long standing impact. Fortunately, the shift from Capricorn to Aquarius helps us take in the big picture view. Capricorn likes to build and maintain the structures and norms. Aquarius likes to ask if those structures are necessary and how can they be improved? In a way this moment in a microcosm of the 20 year cycle that began in 2020 when Jupiter met Saturn at 0° Aquarius. The most notable of the transits this week are the conjunctions with Pluto. As Venus, Mercury, the Sun, and Mars join with the planet of power and transformation our survival instincts will be kicked up. How do you respond when it really matters? How do you engage when things are uncertain or even frightening? It might seem easier to just be passive and hope this moment will be over soon, but we're not living through ordinary times. It's easier to lock into the support systems you know you will need now, then to try to create them once Saturn and Neptune enter Aries. We're not getting off this ride until 2028, so what do you need to put in place now to be safe, secure, and capable of showing up in the way that you are meant to show up in the world.

    New Moon in Sagittarius + a new era awaits

    Mars has been out of bounds in Sagittarius and connecting with the outer planets, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. It’s been impacting our drive and motivation, leading to feelings of overwhelm and extremes in behavior. Luckily, this week Mars entered the sign of Capricorn where he is exalted, aka feeling himself. You might feel like you can finally get some traction with your to-do list. The Sun will also enter Capricorn on Sunday, marking the winter solstice, aka one of the two days of the year when the sun “stands still” and encourages us to pause. The winter solstice is the “longest night of the year” in the Northern Hemisphere encouraging you to turn your focus inward, pull away from the hustle and bustle, at least for a few moments and connect with spirit. The New Moon in Sagittarius arrives right before that, on Friday December 19. At 28 degrees the New Moon in Sagittarius is squaring Saturn and Neptune and inconjunct Uranus. It’s a waving green flag to finally make those changes you’ve been mulling over before the year is out. This New Moon is activating the Saturn-Neptune conjunction that will define 2026 and have impacts that will last 35 years!

    Retrograde Season is Here

    Mercury is offically retrograde, but so are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. We’re in a season of reflection and recalibration. If we were only to march forward, we’d never develop an appreciation for how far we’ve come. Use these next few weeks to reconsider where you’ve been this year, even simply how you’ve grown and expanded since June (thanks Jupiter in Cancer). This is a time for finishing up old business and if there is something that you know you’ve got to release, but it’s just so dang hard to let go of… The New Moon at 28° Scorpio on November 20th will help.

    Solar Eclipse in Virgo + Fall Equinox

    The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo has arrived bringing eclipse season to a fever pitch. Current events are aligning quite literally with this moment in astrology. It’s helpful to remember that the planets are a mirror for the experience we’re having, and we dictate our fate down here on Earth. The themes of this eclipse include letting go of outdated routines, dropping old expectations and limiting beliefs, and allowing yourself to prioritize what aligns with your values. Solar eclipses obscure the light of Sun which is our life force, our identity, and our vitality. If you’re feeling a loss of confidence or extreme exhaustion, that is all par for the course. Give your body the rest and care it needs. And just so you know, you’ve already made it through some of the toughest astrology of the year. In case no one has told you - you’re doing a great job!

    Eclipse Hangover + Pluto out of bounds

    We’re in the midst of eclipse season with the September 7th Lunar Eclipse behind us and the upcoming solar eclipse on September 21st ahead of us. This week the Sun and Mercury dive into the South Node encourage us to continue to release, clean out, and surrender. Sometimes this can manifest as intense exhaustion or an energetic hangover - all to be expected as the moon wanes after a lunar eclipse. What is unusual is the out-of-bounds state of Pluto in Aquarius! We haven’t experienced this since the 1950s and its historical significance can certainly be felt in the collective at the moment. Fortunately, we have some helpful, clarifying, and healing transits coming to our aid. Mercury will meet the Sun this weekend offering us a dose of clear thinking. Soon thereafter Mercury will oppose Saturn inviting everyone to slow down, pause, take a breath, and think it through. On Monday, September 15th, Venus and Mars will be harmoniously connecting while they both make aspects to Chiron, the wounded healer. You might find that this eclipse season unveils the perfect moment to have some healing conversations with your partner, a friend, or even yourself.
