57. Forecast for April 15-21, 2024
The long-awaited Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus is here. Sustainability and repair to the front. The vibe is: less self portrait collages and more communal recycling. It's a big week that begins to wrap up the stories we've been living through for the past several weeks while kicking off cycles that define years and decades to come :) Per usual, a very casual forecast.

It's an easy, spacy week, but don't let the low key vibes fool you because we're heading into Eclipse season. We get into: birthday omens, the high highs and low lows of Venus in Pisces, tracking fated changes with the nodes, and the blessing/confusion of the annual Sun-Neptune conjunction.

Best weekly forecast
Do you want to know what’s going on in the universe but don’t have time to study the intricacies of astrology? This is a great podcast to dip in and get answers for the week ahead.
As if we don’t live under the same stars
As a sometimes-fan of astrology information, I was curious when a friend raved about ‘Good Fortune’. I tuned in for quite a few weeks, waiting to feel the ‘aha’ moment of connection or alignment, which never came.
Not all messages are meant for everybody. But as the gen0cide in P@lestine waged on, I was waiting for some acknowledgement or mention, which never seemed to come. I heard vagaries, allusions to global strife, but like many modern wellness practitioners, nothing direct - as if we don’t live under the same stars.
As other fave astrologers have been speaking about our place in the world, this podcast just fell short for me. Finally, on the 3/17 episode, there was a more direct mention - but it was in reference to the Twitter wars in which astrologers “past their Saturn Return” (over 30) are experiencing “personal attacks” in a conversation about how to appropriately politicize astrology.
As always, it was unclear where the host stands in the conversation, and I finally felt the aha moment - that this just isn’t the right source of commentary for me. I was waiting to know that I liked it, instead of trusting that I didn’t.
The low rating is not about the non-politicization of this particular astrology practice specifically, but the emphasis on whether or not different transits would make it a good night to party (not relevant to me, a Covid-cautious person), how some days “just aren’t right for working” (do other listeners not have jobs?), and other interpretations that didn’t align with with life under capitalism. If you want an escape, this may be a great option for you! & escapes are valid.
If you want astrology from folks who talk about the world and how it feels to be in it, I follow Chani Nicholas and Jonathan L. Dent.
Weekly go-to
Jaime Wright is my faaaavvorite astrologer! Love the simplicity of this podcast and the way Jaime writes and articulates her translation of astrology.
