    JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ FOR THIS WEEK'S ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING PODCAST WHICH DROPS MAY 30 @https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speakingThis podcast explores how the recent history between the May 17 Sun/Uranus conjunction & the May 24 Mercury/Uranus conjunction in Taurus, & the May 29/30 superior conjunction of the Sun with Mercury direct in Gemini have awakened us through unexpected sudden revelations--of the “I can see clearly now” kind--between then and now.Awakened us to what? Well, when we look at the symbolism--from the announcement on May 18 of former president Joe Biden's stage 4 prostate cancer to May 22's U.S. House passage of its “friendly to the rich” budget reconciliation bill & May 24's yet again flip flop on tariffs by President Trump—we start to see a pattern.And that pattern, combined with announcements made between May 28-30--including a court ruling banning Trump's on-again-off-again tariffs followed by a swift reversal of that ruling, along with the announcement of pardons for convicted individuals who have donated bigly to Trump--starts to smell like something's rotten in Denmark.What we may have missed the first two Sun & Mercury conjunctions to Uranus in Taurus, that's inherent now in this latest Sun/Mercury get together in Gemini, is the sleight of hand deceit and deception that's been going on all along.This clearly correlate Gemini's archetypal role & reputation as the trickster, who uses more devious ways to fool those around him. What's different now, however, is the fact that deceit usually takes place behind the scenes. But when we equate Biden's sudden announcement on May 18 with the symbolic nature of the currently ongoing U.S. Pluto return, we glean from the symbolism that something that's been hidden for a long time has now become obvious. Since the prostate is archetypally aligned with Pluto's Scorpio, & Biden's illness was reportedly long in the making but unknown to his doctors, this sudden revelation symbolizes how the U.S. has likewise been rotting from the inside out for quite some time & we simply never noticed.Now, however, all of these recent Sun, Mercury, & Uranus aspects in the sky have alerted us to the fact that this current president's grift-- now so commonplace, so boldly out in the open--is so easily accepted by those who could/should call it out for what it is. As the rest of us begin to understand with greater clarity that the emperor truly has NO clothes, we likewise recognize those who benefit from both his grift & his delusions.  So, as we wax into this month's first quarter “crisis in action” lunar square of the Virgo Moon to the Gemini Sun on June 2--accompanied by June 1's Venus/Chiron/Eris conjunction in Aries—we now see the tension between verifiable Virgoan facts & Geminian casual passage of non-verified information. And how much of the latter was behind such “you can't have possibly missed it” glaringly obvious financial transactions by now.Venus moves into its own sign of Taurus June 5/6, depending on your time zone, while Mercury conjoins Jupiter in Gemini June 8. Shortly after, Mercury will enter the Moon-ruled sign of Cancer June 8, & Jupiter follows suit on June 9. Our emotional sensitivity heightened, we then may begin to expand our intuitive capabilities to see beyond our more boundaried local scenario into wider, longer-term implications for the future.Join us for this Astro News You Can Use & more @https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking dropping May 30 as we look ahead also at the upcoming waxing first quarter square of Mars to Uranus & Jupiter to Saturn on June 15, & as we approach the big military presidential birthday bash on June 14. The question is whether there will be some sudden shocks or surprises, given the addition of another Uranus aspect forming, this time with potentially explosive or violent Mars…tune in to find out more!See you then, namaste…

    JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ FOR THIS WEEK'S ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING PODCAST WHICH DROPS MAY 23 @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking This week's podcast begins with a look at the chart of former president Joe Biden since his shocking prostate cancer diagnosis was announced May 18, just after the exact Sun/Uranus conjunction in Taurus on May 17. We take a deep dive into his horoscope, starting with his Progressed Lunar New Moon @ 1'30 Aquarius on May 5, 2019, through to the previous & current opposition to his 12th House Scorpio Sun by Uranus in Taurus as it transits his 6th House of health.  We posit that Biden's journey from winning the presidency in 2020 & helping restore America to full health during the Covid-19 pandemic, to his current announcement of metastasized cancer, symbolizes the current “ill health” of the U.S. In other words, that Biden's sudden shocking announcement of previously unknown cancer is awakening Americans to the same "weakening" as part of the trajectory occurring within their nation. How do we know this? Because we're under the auspices now of the current Pluto return triggered essentially since the January 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol, which occurred a year before its exact return in February 2022. An insurrection incited & caused by sore loser Donald Trump in the November 3, 2020, presidential election based on false claims of election fraud—just as we approached the new Jupiter/Saturn synodic cycle on December 31, 2020, at 0'30” AQ which foretold a change in leadership.We look at how the Pluto return is annihilating the former legal rights of individuals here in conjunction with the current transiting Jupiter square to the transiting nodal axis, particularly to the Virgo South Node. And how the Mercury-ruled Virgo archetype affects our health as related to the recently passed reconciliation bill in the U.S. House of Representative which seeks “perfection” through numbers to balance the budget, yet attempts to do so by denying average citizens their previous right to government-funded health care.And that's just the tip of the iceberg, as the House bill now goes to the Senate as we approach Saturn's entrance into Mars-ruled Aries on May 24 & the Gemini New Moon & Chiron/Eris conjunction in Aries on May 26. Whether the Senate discusses reducing the health burden the House placed on individuals to pay more to take care of their health needs or not remains to be seen.But one thing is clear: The Saturn ingress into Mars--as Saturn begins his slow journey toward an exact conjunction to Neptune in Aries on February 26, 2026--we have the opportunity to awaken to the amount of wounding & chaos already caused under the guise of “fiscal responsibility.” This hypocritical claim by the U.S. Congress persists despite the fact that the current legislation wants to extend tax cuts for corporations and the rich at the expense of those in the lower income brackets to the tune of increasing our national debt by $3.8 Trillion over the next decade.That this has weakened our previous alliances & global partnerships—part and parcel of the waxing Saturn/Pluto 36-year cycle in Capricorn begun on January 12, 2020--becomes obvious as we're also still under the auspices of the currently waxing Jupiter/Saturn cycle in Aquarius begun December 31, 2020.We look at the prescient words of renowned astrologer Stephen Arroyo written in 1984 about the meaning of the change from 200 years of Jupiter/Saturn cycles in earth to air, the latter of which began in 1980 in Libra. Join us to learn more about what this “grand mutation” has meant between then & now, despite the 2000 conjunction in earth again & its return to the air element for the long term in 2020. (Hint: It concerns the “reestablishment of old-style capitalism,” & the redistribution of wealth from the poorest to the richest.) Now, as we approach Saturn's entrance into Aries, we might look at the bright side of this otherwise potentially frustrating & depressing combination of archetypal energies. On the one hand, we have the potential for an increasingly slow reduction of our rights to free speech (& more), & the resulting depression that can set in when we think we have no recourse but to bury the frustration of being told to shut up and take it.However, on the other hand, we can use this transit to devise carefully thought out long-term plans to regain our rights. Saturn in Mars-ruled Aries can slow the warrior's roll just enough to avoid impatient or impetuous moves & to direct our energies toward succeeding through hard work.The 6'06” Gemini New Moon, at 8:02 p.m. PT & 11:02 p.m. ET on May 26, can help us plant seeds to gain new perspectives by listening to the facts. Since Gemini likes to collect & pass information, but not to analyze it for conclusions, we can use our mental adaptability to consider alternative viewpoints now about what's causing our current state of chaos and how it's wounded us. The Gemini archetype is related to tactics. However, it's Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius, its archetypal opposite energy, that plans overall strategy. So, in the short term now, we can begin to discuss how to plan to regain our rights in the future, courtesy of Saturn's entrance into Mars. The upcoming Sun/Mercury conjunction in Gemini, occurring late on May 29/early May 30, depending on your time zone, may reveal more information from on high in the form of a major announcement of some kind. And this, in turn, may further awaken us to how much the recent discord & chaos has wounded us--via wounded healer Chiron's conjunction to dwarf planet Eris in Aries-- & how we've seemingly been stymied over the past few months by chaos-induced inertia. Tune in for a deep discussion on all of this--& more Astro News You Can Use--starting today, May 23!@ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking See you then!

    SUN/URANUS CONJUNCTION IN TAURUS MAY 17: WILL A SUDDEN CHANGE IN VALUES DELAY OUR LONG-TERM EVOLUTIONARY PROGRESS?

     JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ FOR THIS WEEK'S ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING PODCAST WHICH DROPS MAY 16 @https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking It seems clear now in hindsight that the May 12 Scorpio Full Moon asked us--& asks us still in the waning portion of this month's lunar cycle--to release any attachment to making sudden changes in, or reversals of, long held, deeply felt values.In essence, the May 12 lunation served as a warning that a sudden change in values may not serve the overall evolutionary process--which understands that things cannot remain the same forever but also that change must occur slowly because that is how the evolutionary process works. Ergo, we need to release our tendency to decide to suddenly do an about face vis-a-vis our long held traditional values.This becomes even clearer when we remember two things: That Pluto is now transiting through the Uranus-ruled sign of Aquarius, denoting that evolutionary change over the long term is necessary & that it may be led by the eventual progressive empowerment of groups; & that the U.S. is undergoing still its Pluto return which began in February 2022.The Taurus Sun normally does not like change. It likes its creature comforts & finds security in its resources, including land, money, and its physical body & possessions. In short, Taurus is reluctant to change what it deems pleasurable. And what's pleasurable is what Taurus values.However, when the Taurus Sun exact conjoins sudden change maker Uranus on May 17—particularly in stubborn change resistant Taurus—the Uranian principle that the longer change has been resisted the more sudden & shocking it will seem when it inevitably occurs becomes prevalent. In addition, Uranus, which rules Aquarius, tends to bring us sudden—sometimes shocking & often unexpected—revelations with lightning speed that provide us stark clarity. That's why astrologers often refer to Uranus as the “great awakener.”The Sun also represents the leader in mundane astrology. And, what's changing rapidly now is related to his or her personal values, rather than those of the collective (read: the people.) Given that Neptune's now in Aries, we are seeing an awakening, or new birth if you will, of the need for freedom of choice within the greater collective, especially in America.And this has presented us with a dilemma in terms of this nation's long held values around equality & freedom from tyranny. The current U.S. Pluto return, in effect for several years ahead still, denotes that adaptation will be necessary in order to avoid total extinction of the democratic process here.This podcast takes a deep dive into the sudden, recently attempted changes to both the 236 year-old U.S. Constitution & its long held & accepted legal premise around issues such as habeas corpus & the right to due process, the emoluments clause, birthright citizenship, and more. While it's true that the U.S. Constitution is in need of a modern-day upgrade, sudden change is not the way. That's because we don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater in terms of its basic principles such as that “all men are created equal,” and that the U.S. Government is one “of the people, by the people, for the people.”What will be necessary in the years to come, under the tutelage of Pluto in Aquarius, will be an update to the meaning of these words. “All men,” for example should not mean only White male Christian aristocratic landowners or corporate robber barons. It must extend its humanitarian Aquarian nature into a more collectively Neptunian sense that ALL humans deserve equal rights—including minorities, women, immigrants, LGBTQ+, etc.--& that corporations & billionaires must not tyrannically control the masses. These are the immediate issues to ponder as transiting Jupiter in Gemini forms a square to the transiting Virgo South Node & Pisces North Node, which urges us to move away from trying to control every aspect of our environment & toward relaxing into a more empathic, inclusive one. This is especially true right now in terms of Jupiter-related archetypes: law, immigration, higher education, religion, & a free press (read: freedom of speech.) As we move toward the third quarter monthly “crisis in consciousness” lunar square of the Aquarius Moon to the Taurus Sun on May 20, the tension between groups of people and a stubborn pleasure-loving executive may become even more palpable. Perhaps objections by the people to our president accepting a $400 million “palace in the sky” jet from Qatar IS a violation of the American Constitution & a step too far, eh?When the Sun enters Gemini later that day, perhaps there will be an about face, as Gemini can be fickle. And, since America's current president's natal Sun/Uranus conjunction in Gemini has proven to be part of how American policy is decided at this point, a change of mind is always possible. If nothing else, the Gemini archetype is good at both being mentally adaptable as well as adept at making an about face.Next week's Mercury/Uranus conjunction in Taurus may well lead to an unexpected announcement of some kind by May 23, especially since Mercury enters its own sign of Gemini May 25. Perhaps more deals will be made & announced, who knows? We already have a lot of that going on, including the possibility of some kind of move toward a resolution of the war by Russia against Ukraine based on current discussions between the two now.Meanwhile, there's lots to say about Saturn's upcoming entrance into Mars-ruled Aries on November 24, too, so be sure to tune into  https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking starting today May 16, & catch up on all the latest Astro News You Can Use!

    We begin by discussing all the ASTRO NEWS YOU CAN USE from this past week, how it's played out, & what's on the horizon as we make our way through this month's lunar cycle which began with the Taurus New Moon square to the Mars/Pluto opposition on April 27.Since Venus's entrance into Aries April 30 (until June 6), we've seen some “let them eat cake” resistance to consumer prices heating up due to pending tariff wars begun by the U.S. Government. And the Venus/Neptune conjunction in Aries May 2 illustrated a likewise laissez faire attitude toward the U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment by President Donald Trump who, when asked on Meet The Press if he agreed “that citizens and noncitizens in the United States were entitled to due process,” was less than comforting.“I don't know,” Mr. Trump replied. “I'm not, I'm not a lawyer. I don't know.” This as we waxed toward the first quarter monthly lunar “crisis in action” square of the Leo Moon to the Taurus Sun May 4, illustrating the vague nonchalance yet recalcitrance of a stubborn leader (Taurus Sun) to take responsibility for the due process rights of individuals (Leo Moon) under U.S. law. Keep in mind that our short-term monthly mission since April 27's Taurus New Moon has been to plant seeds that reflect our more present-day values--as opposed to old, outdated, no longer applicable ones, like say, that trickle-down economics is the way to go, lol. Or, that corporate & billionaire money & power are more important than individual peoples' health & well-being. You know, stuff like that… However, the major point of this month's lunation is that once we discover (or rediscover) our soul's true, lasting values, we may have to fight for them, as per the Mars opposite Pluto signature at the Taurus New Moon.Meanwhile Pluto's station retrograde on May 4 (until October 14) provides us all the perfect opportunity to dig deeply into our psyches to better discover our soul's true, lasting values. In doing so, we discover our shadow sides and bring them out into the light to be forever vanquished. The end result is that of greater personal empowerment, yeah!We look too at the upcoming entrance of Mercury into Taurus on May 10, & the already anticipated slowdown of both travel & trade. Ports on the West Coast are already reporting fewer ships docking there from places like China, a redux of the pandemic era's import shortages from only a few short years ago. Likewise, tourism to America and spending on travel within America, is down and forecast to stay that way for the foreseeable future.As we wax toward the May 12 Scorpio Full Moon which conjoins Juno, the archetypal symbol of partnership, & opposes the Taurus Sun, Uranus, & goddess of health Hygeia, we've already seen a few surprising firsts. On April 8—after a surprisingly quick conclave in Rome that lasted less than two full days—the first American-born Pope was chosen to lead the world's 1.4 billion Catholics. In addition to being the first American to become pope, Pope Leo XIV is also the first member of the Augustinian Order, a Catholic religious order founded in 1244. He attended St. Augustine Seminary near Holland, Michigan, and spent much of his career as a missionary in Peru.“Peace be with you,” Pope Leo XIV greeted his new followers, & we await to see if this is, indeed, going to be true, as he will be tasked with confronting difficult decisions about the church's direction, including the issue of greater inclusion.In addition, the inclusion of Hygeia in this lunar equation, partnered with Uranus in the sign of the physical body (read: Taurus) may signal a rapid change in the world's health situation. Think of the starving children in Gaza (& other places deprived of food & medical care due to war and the now defunct services from USAID), & how U.S. farmers' crops rot in silos due to increased tariffs on importing nations. Then there's the fact that Mercury square Pluto at this lunation brings a measure of obsessiveness to the U.S. House of Representatives' struggle still to come up with a governmental budget reconciliation bill by Memorial Day that doesn't throw 77 million people off of Medicaid—especially in GOP districts. And that's just so corporate billionaires can reduce their taxes under a proposed extension of President Trump's 2017 corporate tax reduction due to expire by end 2025. And that's not even mentioning financial cuts already made to Veteran's benefits & potential cuts to Medicare, Social Security, etc., & the loss of medical benefits of laid off or fired federal workers under unelected billionaire Elon Musk's DOGE. We discuss the sticking point of state & local tax caps (read: reducing family's tax deductions) bandied about in the House now, too…There's also the implications of transiting Jupiter in Gemini's pending mutable square to the transiting Virgo South Node & Pisces North Node as all things Jupiter-related have made their way into the news recently. Law, higher education, foreign travel (read: immigration), media, & religion—of which the new first time American Pope's election is but one subject under Jupiter's domain—are all prominent now, especially between May 15-28 as both the Mean & True Nodes are squared exact by Jupiter during this period. Keep in mind, too, that more surprises are ahead--not only at the Scorpio Full Moon opposite the Sun & Uranus in Taurus May 12—but between now and the Sun's exact conjunction to Uranus on May 17.

With Venus in the sign of the warrior until June 6 & Pluto in Aquarius seemingly fuh-evah, is it time to fight for the values we hold dearest?  First we recount the multitude of events leading up to the April 26 Mars/Pluto exact opposition, & since the Taurus New Moon squared the Mars/Pluto opposition on April 27. And how these fit the Mars resistance against attempts by those who seek power over others, & the current themes of both empowerment & disempowerment.We note how, with President Donald Trump's popularity sinking in the polls, how his & his government's disempowering actions against immigrants, federal workers, universities, etc. (read: Pluto), have driven people out onto the streets in protest all across the U.S. (read: Mars.)We look also at some of the other horrific events as we waxed toward the April 26 exact Mars/Pluto opposition & the April 27 Taurus New Moon which carries the energy of these aspect. You know, stuff like the April 22 massacre of 26 people, most of them tourists, in the disputed region of Kashmir which has brought two nuclear powers—India & Pakistan—to the brink of war. Then there's the Iranian port explosion & fire from April 26 that killed at least 70 people and injured over 1,200 others, according to Iranian state media reports. Of course, April 26 was also the day Pope Francis was laid to rest, an event at which U.S. & Ukrainian presidents Donald Trump & Volodymyr Zelensky sat down together to confirm a minerals deal. That meeting seems to have resolved the tension between the two which began during their last, extremely contentious, Oval Office meeting in Washington February 28.Also, we take a deeper dive into the chart of Virginia Giuffre, the sex trafficked victim of Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell, & what was triggered in her natal chart that led to her death by suicide on April 25. Hint: This involves the triggering by transit of her natal Mars/Pluto square, so tune in for more!We take a deep dive as well into the far-reaching meaning of this Taurus New Moon's waxing square of the Leo Moon to the Taurus Sun May 4 and how it asks us all to stand our ground. Combined with Pluto's station retrograde in Aquarius May 4, we can grasp the deeper meaning of getting in touch with our deepest reservoirs of self-empowerment based on what our soul knows to be our truest values.We're watching too, the transiting conjunction of Uranus to fixed star Algol, exact this week as we watch to see who's head is going to fall next. Seems that Mike Walz, Trump's national security advisor, is the most recent as he takes the fall for Signal-gate back when DoD Secretary's classified information about the U.S. bombing of Yemen was accidentally exposed to both a journalist, and to the defense secretary's wife. So far, he's only been demoted to ambassador to the United Nations (pending confirmation), but we're watching this space to see who—if anyone—is next…K, be sure to join us at  https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking for all this Astro News You Can Use, as well as the upcoming square of transiting Jupiter to the transiting nodal axis. As Jupiter in Gemini creates a mutable T-square to the Virgo South Node & the Pisces North Node, will we see increased tension between those who maintain a hubristic king-like arrogance & those who demand a greater sense of morality & justice from a despot wannabe? It would seem obvious to sky watchers at this point that abuse of the legal system here in the U.S. cannot be tolerated as mothers of 1 & 2 & 4 year-old children (including one with cancer) are faced with the choice between being deported alone or with their children. Or, in some documented cases, no choice at all, as in the case of the one year-old separated from his deported mother while still being breastfed. Join us for the latest news from the courts decisions defying the U.S. Government's disregard & disrespect for due process & the rule of law as set down in the U.S. Constitution. These forbid future deportations based on assumptions rather than facts without allowing one to exercise one's day in court. We review as well a federal Trump-appointed judge who ruled against using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport people because the U.S. IS NOT AT WAR WITH ANOTHER NATION.Tune in to find out additional astro details about how how Americans are standing their ground!

This podcast discusses the intensity of astrological events leading up to the third Mars/Pluto opposition April 26 & the Taurus New Moon April 27!We begin by looking back, as that's how we learn best how certain astrological aspects in the sky have manifested within the collective. It's then we can filter this macrocosm of information down into the microcosm of meaning in our own personal lives. So, last week the Sun entered earthy, dependable, stubborn & change resistant Taurus, followed by an empathic Mars/Neptune trine on April 19. This shift became part of American support for the Supreme Court's early morning April 19 ruling that the U.S. must return mistakenly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia from the hellhole prison in El Salvador. It also awakened in us the knowledge that the government's denial of the constitutional right to due process by paying the El Salvadoran dictator $15M to house such prisoners is coming out of taxpayer money.By April 20's third quarter crisis in consciousness monthly lunar waning fixed square of the Aquarius Moon to the Taurus Sun—which included the Moon's opposition to Mars & conjunction to Pluto, along with the Sun's square to Mars—we knew this was a set up for something potentially alarming to happen.And so it did, as hours later as the Moon perfected its conjunction to Pluto, the lord of the underworld, Pope Francis passed away at the age of 88 during the early hours of April 21. This event, occurring two days before the Taurus Sun's exact square to Pluto, & five days before the third Mars/Pluto opposition on April 26, echoed those of the recent past.This podcast discusses the details of the intense events which took place around the first Mars/Pluto opposition on November 3, 2024, the second on January 3, 2025. And what's been leading up now to this third Mars/Pluto opposition as part of this series of intense, potentially violent aspects in the sky. Meanwhile, as it wanes, we discuss the lasting effects of the Aries New Moon solar eclipse monthly lunar cycle, begun on March 29, at the same time as the heliacal rising of Venus during its retrograde cycle. And how these astro-events portended the fallibility of political leaders—with a specific look the dropping poll numbers of American President Donald Trump, & the misfortunes of unelected billionaire Elon Musk since he strayed from steering the helm of his Tesla company's ship to feed a multitude of life-saving U.S. Governmentally-funded programs "into the woodchipper."We look as well at the recent Venus/Saturn & Saturn/North Node conjunctions in the sky & whether or not we collectively take up the mission of reviewing our true values & making a future commitment to them. For example, do we value the rule of law in a democracy—or not? Do we value foundational facts & commitment in our relationships—or not?These kind of intense questions continue through the exact Mars/Pluto conjunction on April 26, and the Taurus New Moon which forms a frictionally tense T-square to the Mars/Pluto opposition April 27. This sets the tone for the month ahead as we attempt to figure out where we've been disempowered and where we may need to fight for future empowerment.We look at all of this through the lens of the U.S. Sibly birth chart from July 4, 1776--especially since April 19 was the 250th anniversary of the first shots fired in Concord & Lexington, MA, that began the U.S. Revolutionary War on April 19, 1775.  And America's current Pluto return as a time when freedom from tyranny & the message of "no kings" rings out from a growing chorus of average American citizens across the land.By the time Venus moves back into Aries on April 30, Mars becomes her dispositor. That means Venus is once again the warrior &, as the ruler of the Sun in Taurus, we're all more inclined to defend & protect not only our own rights, but to fight for the rights of those who are less able to defend & protect themselves.  By the time Venus conjoins Neptune in Aries May 2, we may well see a greater empathic response from the collective related to a myriad number of issues, the importance of which the collective will have awakened to by then. That's as long as we allow the Taurus Sun to ground us & we don't go off into flights of fantasy about what's really happening around us.Be sure to tune in for all this & more starting Friday, April 25 @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking Especially as we head toward next week's Pluto's station retrograde  & Uranus's conjunction to "off with his head!" fixed star Algol May 4/5, as these astro events are sure to be impactful since all planets are in direct motion until then—See you then!

The Taurus Sun will go on to perfect its exact square to Pluto in Aquarius April 23, as we gear up for the exact Mars/Pluto opposition from Leo to Aquarius April 26.This podcast discusses how this coming week promises to be an intense one, especially since it will be followed by the Taurus New Moon on April 27 when both luminaries are still in orb of squares to both Mars & Pluto as Mars & Pluto still oppose each other. Can you say “under pressure?” Such pressure is clearly being felt, especially in the U.S. right now, as we've arrived at a constitutional crisis point. Spurred by President Trump's refusal to abide by a unanimous Supreme Court decision, followed by a failed appeal of that decision, we wait to see whether the Sun's move into dependable, practical, predictable Taurus means he will capitulate to the court's authority—or not.This is all part of the potential breakdown in order to break through of the U.S. Pluto return, which was first triggered on February 22, 2022, when transiting Pluto returned to its natal position in the 2nd House in Capricorn. This podcast look at how history has shown that the energies of this return will mimic those from the time of the U.S. Revolutionary War & the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, until the U.S. seated its first president & Supreme Court justices in 1789. And how a larger & larger portion of the American citizenry is beginning to wake up to this reality.So, between 2022 & 2035, we're looking at the potential recurrence of these energies as we wait to see if we have a U.S. president hellbent on becoming a dictator. Pluto says “change or be changed,” and he doesn't care if you want change or not—he's the archetypal energy of the process of evolution. And evolution requires adaptation if we don't want extinction to follow. So the message is: Evolve we must.However, if we want to have some measure of control over what course this evolutionary process will take, we'll have to fight to preserve our democracy's original intent while acknowledging that we must jettison the portions of it that have become rotten. If not, our current democratic system will become extinct. And then it will be reborn in some other fashion.So, we gear up now for a chaotic, potentially violent week as we head toward the third-quarter crisis in consciousness fixed square of the Aquarius Moon (the people) to the Taurus Sun (an intractable stubborn leader) as they both square Mars in Leo. The Aquarius Moon conjoins Pluto in Aquarius at this lunation, while the Sun perfects its square to the god of the underworld on April 23. Will President Trump's defiance of the high court's authority spark some sort of violent action by the time Mars exact opposes Pluto on April 26? And will new revolutionary seeds be planted at the April 27 Taurus New Moon? We wait to find out…however, first we look at how the energies of the U.S. Pluto return have begun to reveal the rot in our current governmental system. And how a capitalist nation has morphed us from our original constitutional intent “of the people, by the people, & for the people” into one run by and for oligarchs such as unelected billionaire Elon Musk. We look at Trump's chart, specifically at where he came into this lifetime as a wounded soul in the area of justice, fairness, & equality as these principles relation to his concept of partnership. We analyze his naturally Venus-ruled 2nd House Jupiter/Chiron/Juno stellium in Libra & put this together with his current demonstrations of how such wounds have manifested in the Jupiterian realm of law, higher education, immigration, & religion. More importantly, though, this is a perfect illustration of how expectations of fairness on the part of Trump' partners has once again been proven wrong, given his 2nd House Juno/Chiron/Jupiter conjunction in Libra wounds to partnership, equity, & fairness. Particularly in the area of law, but no means limited to the legal system's structural concept  of “justice.”For all of this & more Astro News You Can Use tune in to https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking starting today at 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET or any of your favorite podcast stations!

Well, that's what an estimated 5.2 million of them did—old, young, and in between—to tell the current U.S. Government “hands off” my medical care & research, my social security, my educational opportunities, my job, my civil rights, right to bodily autonomy, and so much more. Meanwhile Mercury's station direct in Pisces on April 7 seems to have proven what Erin Sullivan says in her book “Retrograde Planets, Traversing the Inner Landscape,” which is that it marks a time to “engage in observation and begin to pay attention.” Well, hard not to pay attention to U.S. President Trump's on-again off-again tariff threats against ALL U.S. trading partners—that resulted in putting the U.S. stock market--& by association global markets—into free fall this past week.Trump is a Gemini Sun/Uranus, which in its lowest manifestation is far more than “mercurial”--& as has been proven throughout his time in the presidency--to be erratic & mayhem-oriented. So, the whipsaw like back and forth on tariffs during both Mercury & Venus retrograde periods should really be no surprise. (This podcast highlights how the recent Mercury retrograde period triggered an important T-square in Trump's chart, so give it a listen!)What's changing now, however, is how undeniably obvious this has become as well as how potentially disruptive to both the U.S. & global trade & economy. With Mercury now direct, however, we've seen yet again additional changes in plans from the U.S. Government vis-à-vis tariffs.What's becoming more and more obvious, however, to even the average news absorber, is that Trump's assumption that his tariffs will succeed when they've been historically proven to weaken America's dollar, lead to losses for American companies, & create turmoil in the financial markets, is their complete unworkability. We approach now the April 12 Libra Full Moon, which occurs at 23'20' Libra in opposition to the Aries Sun conjunct wounded healer Chiron, while they all form a cardinal T-square to Mars in Cancer. Less than an hour later Venus stations direct in Pisces, telling us it's time to check in on the status of our partnerships.Can you spell "F-R-U-S-T-R-A-T-I-O-N?" As both Venus & Mercury begin to gather speed in their forward trajectory, we can see more clearly the results of how these astrological energies are currently playing out, at least here in America. This lunation highlights that we have here a “wounded king/ruler/autocrat wanna-be” facing opposition from the “people,” who desire to be more partnership-oriented with the rest of the world rather than less.In essence, this lunation—which has the Libra Moon reflecting back to the wounded Sun its own light—asks us to release any tendencies toward an “it's my way or the highway” type leadership that leads only to opposition, and to begin to negotiate & compromise. This becomes difficult, however, since what's wounded the Aries Sun is its lack of ability to back down in the face of having proactively made disastrous decisions.We look forward now to Mercury reentering Aries on April 16 or 17, depending on your time zone, and Mars reentering Leo April 17/18. Will Trump double down on his losing proposition to impose 145% tariffs on Chinese imports as China ups the ante by raising its tariff rates on U.S. goods to 125 percent on April 12? Especially when economists already know that this kind of trade war will result in higher prices for American consumers. “China's factories produce more than those in the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea and Britain combined, and many of the products imported to the United States come from China,” according to the New York Times.And that's not mentioning how the U.S. House of Representatives managed to pass a continuing budget resolution on April 10, as we waxed toward the Libra Full Moon, that will keep Trump's 2017 tax cuts for billionaires & cut trillions from government services. This passed 216 to 214, with zero democrats voting for it & two republicans jumping ship to side with the democrats.This podcast discusses the arduous task ahead for Congress to rectify the House & Senate versions of this bill, along with how it will result in growing opposition by an ever-enlarging group of those who'll be personally affected by such cuts. Especially those who don't believe their elected officials promises not to cut government funding for Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, federal jobs, disease research, veteran's benefits, and so much more…Tune in to https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking for all of this, plus more Astro News You Can Use, including how this Venus retrograde period has resulted in seriously impactful partnership re-alignments & weakened America's reputation as a financially stable & reliable partner.

    JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN for this week's Astro News You Can Use podcast @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking which covers how, as we're now at the first quarter monthly lunar square of the Cancer Moon to the Aries Sun April 4, a major shift is reverberating through our global collective consciousness.This podcast starts with a recap of the effects of eclipse season & what's taken place between March 13 & now--including notable accidents, fires, natural disasters, and other events of a physical nature such as military bombings, & the incarceration of those who protest war. For example, in addition to the devastating storms that raged through the U.S. after the March 13/14 Virgo Full Moon lunar eclipse, and just before the Aries New Moon Solar Eclipse on March 29, we learned of the 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar. The massive destruction there has now left 3,455 people dead, another 4,715 people injured, and 341 missing, according to Myanmar's military-led government.We discuss also what's occurred between the inferior conjunction of the Sun in Aries to Venus retrograde on March 22 and its heliacal rising circa March 29, which echoes the themes of this eclipse series--with the addition of the fall from grace of prominent people. This theme was mirrored in last night's removal by the high court of the South Korean president after he instituted martial law back on December 12, 2024, and may represent a harbinger of the future elsewhere.Here in America, there are plenty of people losing their positions, such as unelected billionaire Elon Musk who's responsible for major labor cuts and funding throughout the federal government that's just now beginning to take effect by touching peoples lives personally. An object of American & Canadian anger, Musk is reportedly due to step down as a "special government employee" who's head of the Department of Government Efficiency sometime in May. However, he will remain an advisor to President Trump.But the real news is that the tide is beginning to turn as voters in Wisconsin elected a democrat to the state's supreme court on April 2, reducing GOP influence in a swing state that voted overwhelmingly for Trump last November. And, although two GOP House representative won their special elections in deep red regions of Florida, the turnout there severely alarmed GOP operatives as the percentages of those wins dropped drastically from last November. In addition, the democrats in Congress show signs of beginning to wake up and fight back since this Aries solar eclipse & as we approach the waxing cardinal first quarter monthly lunar “crisis in action” square on April 4. Even some hardcore GOP members of Congress are now objecting to Trump's massive tariffs on nearly all foreign nations that trade with America. These eclipses, combined with Mercury's retrograde period starting on March 14 at the lunar eclipse, have included a review of trade contracts & agreements. Between the combination of Venus retrograde from March 1 through April 12 & Mercury's retrograde cycle from March 14 through April 7, we've seen the weakening of global partnerships (Venus) with America mainly through the issue of trade (Mercury.) And, as the U.S. continues to maintain its isolationist “us versus them” stance on trade and its expansionist threats against its partners, retaliation is threatened by these partners (Aries)—again. Fingers crossed that mercurial unpredictable President Trump will come to a final conclusion on his tariff threats, due to go into effect on April 5, by the time Mercury stations direct again on April 7.Such threats have already tanked the financial markets, alarming many, even though the jobs report today was a positive one. But the federal worker cuts have not hit the unemployment stats yet, and we have not yet felt the full brunt of economic effects based on the increase in prices of goods imported into the U.S. Economists' estimates this will cost the average American between $1600 & $3,800 per year--which essentially amounts to a rise in taxes.As people begin to wake up to all of this and how it will affect them & those they love personally, attitudes are beginning to shift in alignment with the post Aries New Moon solar eclipse energies. In addition, Neptune's ingress into Aries on March 30 is slowly allowing the birth of a new consciousness around the world's current predicament to arise and events indicate now that action will follow.Looked at symbolically, NY Senator Cory Booker's record breaking 25+ hour speech on the Senate floor on April 2 that excoriated Trump, Musk, and others for their careless, callous edicts & actions (here's lookin' at you Pete Hegseth & Mike Waltz), represented the birth of a new political awakening & retaliatory defiance.In addition, a new era is heralded by Neptune's entrance into Aries for the next fourteen years until 2038. Since Neptune rules the natural 12th House of gestation, and Mars-ruled Aries the proactivity necessary for the act of birth, we're witnessing now the birth of consciousness within the collective that the old order is falling away and a new one will eventually mature into adulthood.While we're still a long way from that phase of Neptune in Aries, we know that Neptune will be joined soon by Saturn in Aries on May 24. And that this CAN herald a time of greater psychological understanding within the national collective. Why? Because we'll be able to overcome any egoic blockages (Saturn) by bridging the gap (Aries) between the rational conscious ego and the irrational intuitive waters that lie deep within the unconscious (Neptune.) After all, it's Neptune that intuitively understands that we are all brothers & sisters under the skin, AND that in Aries, we'll be willing to fight for our freedoms based on that simple truth.Check out this and more Astro News You Can Use details starting today at https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking as we look closer at the astrological influences currently in play, including next week's April 12 Libra Full Moon square to Mars in Cancer!

    STARTING TODAY TUNE IN TO https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking WITH SHERI HORN HASAN as we look back at all the mind-boggling Astro News You Can Use this past week & what's coming next!We start with the Pisces New Moon monthly lunar cycle which squared Jupiter in Gemini back on February 27 & led to the overly enthusiastic yet expansively arrogant dramatic reception by President Donald Trump & vice president J.D. Vance in the White House on February 28.It seemed back then like things were only going downhill from there-- what with unelected billionaire Elon Musk in charge of gutting federal governmental services that U.S. citizens rely on under the guise of eliminating waste & fraud. Moving fast and breaking things his specialty, Musk didn't take long to fall out of favor with Americans suffering from his financial cuts by the time we reached the March 6 first quarter lunar crisis in action mutable square of the Gemini Moon to the Pisces Sun. Musk's reply?“Everybody's talkin' at me, I don't hear a word they're saying…”Things were in flux all right, and by the time of the March 7/8 Pisces Sun trined Mars—by then direct in Cancer since February 23—it was clear that everything was not going to be ok. It slowly began to dawn on larger numbers of people that America's current situation was not sustainable and that a radical change would be necessary for the future, as Erin Sullivan defines this aspect in her book “Retrograde Planets.” By March 8, U.S. green card holders—legally allowed to live and work here--were being arrested without being charged with a crime or the right to an attorney & sent to harsh ICE prisons. By March 9, both Americans and Canadians were fed up—the former with Musk's federal job & funding cuts beginning to reverberate negatively throughout society & the latter as the U.S. president refused to shut up about making Canada America's 51st state--& began attacking Tesla dealerships.Meanwhile, lawsuits against the Trump administration's actions began to deluge the courts and now total 146. Approximately one-third of these are now under judicial restraints via various judges' rulings against federal employee firings, the defunding of Congressionally approved programs, veterans' healthcare and other benefits, and so much more.With Venus already retrograde in Aries since March 1 & Mercury having stationed retrograde in Aries 14/15--just after the first Virgo Full Moon lunar eclipse on March 13/14—it seemed inevitable that the truth was beginning to dawn even on those who'd voted for this current administration of billionaires. Not to mention their GOP Congressional sidekicks who'd by then become too afraid to hold public town halls with their angry constituents.However, since the Sun/Neptune conjunction in Pisces March 19 & the Sun's entrance into Aries at the spring equinox March 20, a shift began to take place. Such an obvious lack of compassion of the “let them eat cake” kind, combined with a callous inattention to detail, began to give way by the time the Sun's entrance into Aries called us all into the fight.Since they, we've been morphing away from delusional Piscean energy & toward the higher Piscean manifestation of empathy, & into a more proactive “fight for the right to have rights!” Aries battle cry. And with Venus retrograde have reached her inferior conjunction with the Sun in Aries March 22, we're now, by March 29, at the heliacal rising at time when global leaders tend to lose their heads, so to speak…At the Sun joined Mercury in Aries on March 24—usually an important announcement of some kind from or about leaders, as I noted in last week's podcast—we learned about how top secret U.S. military classified information was disseminated via the unprotected Signal chat app. As we move closer to early May's conjunction between transiting Uranus and “off with his head” fixed star Algol, no surprise that calls for the resignation of our current Pisces Moon Defense Secretary are, in true Aries fashion, getting louder by the day. My March 26's Mars square to wounded healer Chiron, it was obvious how this incident “wounded” our military by weakening its defenses through allowing those listening (are you listening Russia? How about you China? Oh, and what about Iran?) as one of the participants on that chat was actually IN Moscow on an unsecured line at the time. Are ya wakin' up yet, folks?Now as we approach tomorrow's Aries New Moon solar eclipse--& this eclipse series is a physically themed one which has already been filled with accidents, fires, military attacks, etc.—it also brings both luminaries together in alignment—both heart and mind. And Saturn sextiles Uranus now, telling us we have the opportunity to bring revolutionary forces together to try to heal some of the current wounds sustained through the Mars/Chiron square. Remember, this is all under the guise of the current U.S. Pluto return, which ain't gonna be over til it's over, and that's a long way off. Let's use this Aries New Moon solar eclipse to organize the troops necessary, to partner with those who need the most defending from harm, and not give up until the job is done…For this and more Astro News You Can Use, tune into https://www.karmicevolution.com/ See you then!

    JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN for this week's review of what the heck it all means as we head toward next week's Aries New Moon solar eclipse March 29!This podcast looks at how we are reevaluating relationships thanks to Venus retrograde & how we can find the inspiration to create our future, thanks to Mercury retrograde, both in Aries. We review also, as we're in the middle of two eclipses, the theme of this set of eclipses. Hint: this eclipse series is a very physically expressive one that may involve accidents, great physical effort, violence, or any sudden physical events, as per traditional astrologer Bernadette Brady in her book “Predictive Astrology.”Though some may experience these eclipses positively, we've already seen how they've manifested thus far in the collective in terms of both “sudden physical events” & violence,” given recent news reports.We have the recent storms which swept through the American south & southwest beginning March 14, the day of the Virgo Full Moon lunar eclipse that sparked tornadoes, wildfires, high winds and dust storms across eight states over. The result? At least 42 people dead and dozens injured.In addition, the Trump Administration authorized an attack on the Houthis in Yemen on March 15, in which at least 53 people were killed, including five children and two women, and 98 others were wounded, according to the Houthi-run health ministry. The Houthis have described the attacks as a "war crime" and vowed retaliation. That's in addition to a fire in a nightclub that killed 59 people in North Macedonia March 16, the deportation of 261 Venezuelans in America accused of being gang members & sent to El Salvador March 15. It's been discovered since, in true Neptunian fashion, that not all are gang members & that at least one is a professional soccer player who fled Venezuela after having participated in protests against the Maduro government and was arrested there & tortured.  Israel declared the ceasefire in Gaza over & resumed airstrikes in Gaza March 18, killing more than 400 people including many women and children, and injuring at least 500, according to Gaza health officials.As we approach the Aries New Moon solar eclipse at 9-degrees Aries on March 29, should we expect more of the same? Meanwhile this podcast discusses several things, including whether or not more heads will roll (here's lookin' at you, Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer) as Uranus once again heads toward conjoining with fixed star “off with his head” Algol circa May 4.)There's also the question of whether or not unelected billionaire Elon Musk, in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), will eventually lose his head, as transiting Uranus in Taurus waxes toward an opposition to his natal Jupiter in Scorpio, which will be followed in the next few months by transiting UR then exact opposing his natal Neptune in Sagittarius. Both transits warn against taking risks (read: gambling) & having unrealistic expectations. We shall see how this plays out anon…We also delve into the massive amount of Neptune-ruled Piscean energy inherent in both eclipses & look back at the history of the establishment of Canada as a nation as Donald Trump continues to try to transgress its boundaries by declaring that Canada should become America's 51st state.There's much more Astro News You Can Use—including discussing whether the U.S. is, in fact, in a constitutional crisis right now as the president not only defies a judge's order but calls for his head to roll--when you check out “Karmic Evolution's Astrologically Speaking!” podcast which drops today @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking!

    https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking LISTEN TO SHERI HORN HASAN'S NEW PODCAST which drops today, March 14! This Virgo Full Moon lunar eclipse opposing Saturn, the Sun, & Neptune—all in Pisces—reminds them that numbers don't lie and that you cannot ignore, or hide, or “disappear” the facts!Mercury's Virgo's about analysis and the Virgo archetype has a strong affinity for numbers, often as in dollars and cents. When we look at what's going on now in the U.S.--with an algorithm system having been given more credence than quality of life--we can see what kind of mess the U.S. is in right now. As jobs & services—particularly those related to health & human services--“disappear,” the Virgo Moon reminds the Pisces Sun that facts DO matter when it comes to quality of life.In essence, the Virgo Mon reminds the Pisces Sun—gathered together with rigid Saturn & often confused Neptune—of two things: 1. That you cannot ignore facts or make them up to fit your wishful thinking (or delusional) plan; & 2. That it's time to ground this plan in reality using a strictly analytical “just the facts, ma'm” methodology.However, this is not what is happening now as the U.S. governmental foundations implode under their own weight and the balance of democracy itself weighs in the balance. While everyone seems to agree that Virgoan efficiency is necessary to cut out waste & fraud, no one seems to have derived the proper methodology to calculate the correct numbers and to create a viable plan that doesn't shock everyone into a rebellious stance.Let's not forget that Mercury's Virgo rules the 6th House in what's known as the natural chart in western tropical astrology. And the 6th House rules service, health, & work, in terms of what we do on a daily basis. The Virgo Moon at this lunar eclipse reminds the Pisces Sun & his friends Saturn & Neptune that you cannot simply fire people en masse with little notice & zero compassion and expect a positive response.There is an irony at this lunar eclipse, however, which is that the Virgo Moon conjoins the Virgo SN at this lunation, which means it's opposing not only the Sun, Saturn, & Neptune now, but the Pisces North Node as well. And in evolutionary astrology, we are to move away from the shadow side of Virgo energy & toward the more empathetic spiritually healing energy for which Neptune-ruled Pisces is known.As evolutionary astrologer Steven Forrest put it in his recent newsletter: “…the south node of the Moon represents the gravity of old habits which are holding us back, while the north node symbolizes the remedy that can liberate us...Right now,” he continues, “the bottom line is that we are all collectively beginning to experience the pressure of any unresolved “Virgo karma” we may be holding onto--and hopefully looking to Pisces for some answers, resolutions, and a new direction.” But the U.S is experiencing now its already triggered Pluto return, which means we're in the process of evolving, though no one knows yet what this nation will evolve into. And right now we're at the beginning of a fight against the extinction of democracy as we've known it these past 250 years. With Pluto now transiting through Uranus-ruled Aquarius—both planets & sign representative of social upheaval—these next few years are not going to happen without a struggle to evolve. Why? In order to survive.What we know right now, according to traditional astrologer Bernadette Brady in her “Predictive Astrology” book, is that the theme of this series of eclipses—both this lunar eclipse now at 23'57” Virgo and the upcoming 9-degree Aries solar eclipse on March 29—is that they both involve physical change. We also know, as per astrologer Ronnie Dreyer, that the energy of the current lunar eclipse will be prevalent at least until the transiting nodal axis hits the 23'57” Virgo degree mark, circa early June. AND that, because the transiting nodal axis already hit 9-degrees Ares circa July 22, 2024, we've been dealing with this upcoming eclipse's energies since then.Find out more about these eclipses and how the Virgo Full Moon lunar eclipse falls in the U.S. Sibly birth chart's 9th House of higher education & the 3rd House of elementary learning as the unelected billionaire Elon Musk & his sidekick President Trump seek to destroy the Department of Education now. And that's occurring as Mercury stations retrograde in Mars-ruled Aries March 15-April 7 (where he joins Venus retrograde in the same sign now.) The Virgo Moon's position in the U.S. 9th House of higher education, law, immigration, & religion at this lunation, along with Mercury's retrograde in the Sibly's 4th House where he joins Venus retrograde there augurs an ongoing & upcoming review of whether current policies protect our families—or harm them.This lunation is already giving rise to judicial reviews of 119 lawsuits filed against the government's current layoff mandates ordered under Musk's DOGE & the damaging off-and-on-again tariffs ordered by President Trump, and more. And given the current recession territory now entered into by the stock market--along with the attempt to deprive a green card holder of the rights to which he is entitled under long-established U.S. law, well, let's just say there's a lot of Astro News You Can Use goin' on right now! Check in at https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking for more on all this & a detailed look at the astro-effects as people begin to protest the dis-compassionate disappearance of jobs, good & services, & of legal rights by a government that doesn't seem to care what happens to its people.

And that means—with Venus already retrograde & Mercury joining her on March 14, both in the “it's my way or the highway” sign ruled by Mars—we may break up, then make up, then break up again before it's over…This podcast begins with where we are now in the current lunar cycle since the February 27 Pisces New Moon asked us to plant seeds of compassion & empathy for both ourselves and those less fortunate. However, since Venus stationed retrograde in newly direct Mars-ruled Aries March 1, such empathy seems to be missing, at least here in the U.S. as our administration chooses to value money over commitment.So are relationships that began to fray February 28 now under review during Venus retrograde, & will that continue when Mercury, the god of communication, stations retrograde on March 14? Venus is asking us what we value most between now & until April 12 when she stations direct in Pisces.Meanwhile, Mercury's retrograde from March 14 until April 7 asks us to go deep about how we can rekindle our creative inspiration to find solutions to our relationship problems.While the end result remains to be seen, we can see how persistent delusions that it's all about the money and not about the people face factual reality as we wax toward the Virgo Full Moon eclipse on March 13/14, depending on your time zone.We can simply look at the tariffs imposed by President Trump against our closest neighbors & strongest trading partners that went into effect March 4, but were then delayed at the first quarter monthly lunar “crisis in action” square of the Gemini Moon to the Pisces Sun on March 6.Again, breaking up is hard to do, eh? We may see an answer between now and the March 13/14 lunar eclipse--which occurs at roughly the same time as the U.S. budget deadline in Congress--If negotiations result in a compromise OR not, causing the U.S. Government to shut down at 12:01 a.m. on March 15. It's clear the energy of this upcoming eclipse will be in play as we wait and watch to see if the desires of billionaires for tax cuts trump the needs of average hard working Americans for governmental services.The next eclipse on March 29 is a solar one with both luminaries meeting at exactly 9 degrees of Aries. Since the transiting nodal axis hit this degree way back on July 22, 2024, the theme of this eclipse began then.

    TUNE IN TO https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking to hear up to date Astro News You Can Use by Sheri Horn Hasan who discusses the deeper meanings of March's upcoming whirlwind of heavenly events!This podcast looks back at how the ideological fundamentalism of last month's Aquarius New Moon & Leo Full Moon square Uranus & Juno has shifted our major alliances. And how the February 27 Pisces New Moon planted seeds of greater empathy for those negatively affected by an idealistic Aquarian vision carried out in haste that's causing shifts in perspective & allegiances.Mars' station direct on February 23 has provided the martial impetus and the energy for our newly awakened inner warrior to rise up and take action to protect not only ourselves but those less able to defend & protect themselves. As it gains speed, however, Mars is currently giving us all even more reason to fight against the new U.S. administration's attempts to eliminate diversity, equity, & inclusion in its military & to decimate our legal & other governmental foundations. Mars' influence became obvious with the recent firings of the U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a Black man & the Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the first woman to hold the post and the first female member of the Joint Chiefs. Mars full speed ahead also resulted in the firing of three judge advocates general, also known as “JAGs”--who provide independent legal advice to senior military officers so that they do not run afoul of U.S. law or the laws of armed conflict. The danger here lies with the fact that the current commander in chief of the armed forces is Donald Trump, who during his last administration wanted to use the military to shoot Black Lives Matter protestors. He is now setting the stage to be able to do exactly that—next time protestors take to the streets.Then there's Venus stationing retrograde March 1 through April 12, when Venus will move back from Aries into Pisces. This is a period during which--according to Jungian astrologer Erin Sullivan in her book “Retrograde Planets”--we begin a time of global review. Between now and the inferior conjunction of the Aries Sun with Venus retrograde on March 22, & its heliacal rising March 28/29, is when “the reconsideration of what is diplomatic, & what is necessary to maintain a balanced world view & sense of integrity, is precisely what happens” to us both individually & collectively, Sullivan says. Both she and astrologer Bruce Scofield have predicted certain events may happen during this time—tune in to find out more!Mercury's entrance into Mars-ruled Aries March 3 adds some fuel to the fire of any backlash against what's happening now & what may occur during Venus's retrograde period. On March 11 the two will conjoin in Aries. Given that Mercury's communication & Venus rules finances, is it possible a budget reconciliation plan will be agreed upon & passed by the U.S. Congress before a looming shut down on March 14 when the first eclipse of the season hits?And might this budget plan cause even more distress as major portions of U.S. citizen's safety nets--be they Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, or simply your job as a federal employee or through a federally funded grant--be axed from the new budget? This podcast reviews also the deeper meaning of transiting Uranus in Taurus--as Venus, the current dispositor of Uranus, will retrograde through Mars-ruled Aries starting March 1—& we enter  a period of review of our core values. We discuss how Uranus in Taurus since 2018 has changed our relationships to others, to our work/jobs, to our resources over time, and how Uranus, the planet of unexpected change, is headed back to conjoin “off with his head” fixed star Algol circa May 4.It's clear that heads have been rolling all over the place--both globally & domestically. And that's been especially true since Uranus first came close to Algol last July & then, after its normal annual five month retrograde period since September 1, 2024, stationed direct on January 30. Will heads continue to roll until May? Or until the final Uranus/Algol meet-up in February 2026?

    JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking for the latest podcast discussing revelations--since the January 29 Aquarius New Moon cycle & Uranus's station direct—that visions of ideological fundamentalism & practical reality don't mix!It's clear now that the February 14 Leo Full Moon has awakened many to the fact that the Aquarius New Moon planted seeds allowing us to gain a new perspective. And that Uranus direct has led to the revelatory aha moments for which it's known by the time the Leo Full Moon revealed how ideological ideas of “perfection” are difficult to manifest in the real world & that the sudden changes ruled by Uranus can cause trauma.And that unconventional government oversight based on idealistic notions by unelected people placed in positions of power now hold our future security in their hands. Further, the Leo Full Moon's squares to Uranus in Taurus which opposed Juno (partner) in Scorpio resulted in the breaking apart of established partnerships in favor or new ones—especially those deemed more financially rewarding. By now, however, since Mercury entered Pisces on February 14 & the Sun followed on February 18--& as we waxed toward the February 20 third-quarter monthly lunar square (which astrologer Dane Rudhyar called the “crisis in consciousness” period)—we've understood how rapidly caused shock & trauma result in confusion. Further, by the time Sagittarius Moon squared the Pisces Sun & Mercury squared Jupiter February 20, we realized people (Moon=the people) had journeyed to their U.S. national & state Capitols (Sagittarius) to protest. Protest what? That the ”pie in the sky” visions of the ideological fundamentalists begun earlier this month now in charge of the U.S. Government have caused both individuals--and groups of people—actual harm through loss (Pisces Sun.) Now, as we approach next week's Mars station retrograde in Cancer on February 23 & Mars begins to gather speed—in combination with this past month's Aquarian awakening--we begin to realize that this retrograde period brought up from our unconscious what's really most important to us on a deeper soul level. AND that THIS is what's rousing us out of our apathy to fight back against. As we begin to identify with our “inner warrior” we'll experience the Pisces New Moon on February 27 with its waxing square to Jupiter & its pending trines to Mars, which the Sun completes on March 2 & 7, respectively. Greater empathy for those suffering in the "there, but for the grace of God, go I" are the seeds we are called to plant then. Meanwhile, Venus will station retrograde in Aries on March 1, while Mercury moves into Mars-ruled Aries March 3, as the U.S. Congress continues to argue over whether billionaires deserve additional tax cuts reliant on financial cuts to services for the average American citizen.Join Sheri at https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking when a new podcast drops Friday, February 21, for more Astro News You Can Use on all of this, including a look at where Elon Musk's chart triggers Donald Trump's Mercury/Neptune/Eris ability to create the image of a successful businessman capable of running a nation when what he's mostly proved successful at is creating chaos…See you soon!

    Discussion includes how this past week's Leo Full Moon exposed the plight of individuals against ideological notions of “a more perfect union” as the ongoing U.S. Pluto return reveals how corporate greed is rotting governmental foundations from the inside out.Pluto=other peoples' money=taxpayer dollars. Pluto also=joint resources=federal loans & grants. In Uranus-ruled Aquarius, which Pluto will transit through until March 2043, it's about transformation of joint resources due to ideological notions of a “more perfect union.”But Aquarius is an “of the people, by the people, for the people,” humanitarian archetypal notion. The kind that represents humanitarian advances in technology that make life better for us all. However, given that the effects of U.S. Pluto return--triggered initially @27'33” Capricorn in 2022—will last until about 2036 if history proves educational—it's highly likely this period will culminate as a time of “power to the people.”It's just that it's going to take a while to get there and it won't happen without a fight. However, the signs of an infected U.S. governmental system—based on financial policies such as more deregulation, fiscal austerity, trickle down economics of the “starve the beast” kind—have burst through into consciousness during the new Trump administration.The February 9 Sun/Mercury conjunction in Aquarius, squares by the Aquarius Mercury & Sun to sudden change maker Uranus on February 10 & 11, & the February 12 Leo Full Moon, respectively, have brought alarm & consternation, but also additional clarity as these aspects highlight disenfranchisement of the individual.In addition, as the news continues to fly so fast and furiously that it's hard to keep up, one fact stands out in stark relief. And that is that technology matters more than people. That's because non-elected folks like billionaire Elon Musk continue to use AI to parse out what the tech bros describe as “waste & fraud” in the American Treasury Department's systems of payments.With no oversight, they seem to be the only ones—along with newly appointed billionaires who now head major governmental cabinet posts—in charge of the U.S. payment system. And that includes not only humanitarian medical & food aid both at home & abroad, but Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, student loans, and much more.When oligarch wannabes steer the ship, it's becoming easier to see that the final destination is NOT enhanced people power, but rather corporate power uber alles, which means “above everything else.”Will the upcoming entrance of Neptune into Aries on March 30 save us? What about when Saturn enters Aries on May 26 and the two planets run side by side in 2025 before they exact conjoin at the 0° Aries point on February 20, 2026. And how about the upcoming trine of Uranus—after it enters Gemini July 7—to Pluto in Aquarius, the effects of which we'll begin to feel in 2025 and which will last through to 2029.Join us for a deeper discussion on all of this & to hear more Astro News You Can Use as Mercury enters Pisces Feb 14 & the Sun does the same Feb 18, & Mars gets ready to station direct on Feb 23 @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking!

    Sheri Horn Hasan's “Karmic Evolution's Astrologically Speaking!” podcast--which drops Friday, February 7—is BAAAAACK! Listen here: https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speakingThis week's Astro News You Can Use includes a look at how--as we approach the Feb 12 Leo Full Moon--the world has been watching as those in the U.S. begin to wake up to a new reality within its governing structure and to fight back. There is no doubt, since the January 29 Aquarius New Moon & the direct stations of Uranus & Jupiter, that the news has been flying so fast and furiously that it's been difficult to keep up most days unless you're a diehard news addict. No wonder sudden shock (Uranus=sudden change) related to codified U.S. law (Jupiter=law, immigration, higher education, religion, philosophy, ethics & morals) has shaken many American's faith in their governing systems.Venus represents who we value as partners, finances, and what we do to earn our money, a.k.a., work, or our “jobs.” And now, since Venus in Aries sextiled Pluto on February 7, these most unconventional—and many say illegal—orders out of President Trump's White House have prompted legal push back. And the fight (Aries) over governmental finances, jobs, & between existig allies & trading partners (Venus) continues.The opportunity to fight back against Plutonic efforts to disempower people by imposing tariffs against allied trading partners, withholding funds from Americans, laying off government workers, discontinuing funding for charitable efforts, etc., has began to bear fruit, considering that a double-digit number of lawsuits have been filed to date. And word has it there will be more anon…after all, the Jupiter mission, now direct, is expansion, lol... We wait to see if there are any new major shocking announcements of the legal sort between now & February 9's Aquarius Sun/Mercury conjunction,  Mars/Saturn trine, February 10's Mercury/Uranus square, & February 11's Sun/Uranus square, as we head into the February 12's Leo Full Moon.We do know that Trump's been experiencing a square from transiting Saturn in Pisces from his 7th House of partnership to his natal 10th House Gemini Uranus (which conjoins his Gemini North Node & Sun there), likely spurring his need to shock through unconventional pronouncements. Since several judges have stayed his Executive Orders on issues concerning U.S. birthright, stoppage of funding via USAID, lay-offs of federal workers, granting non elected individuals access to the Treasury Department's payment system, and more, to date, we may well have Saturn to thank. Especially since transiting Saturn will go on to exact square his natal Nodes, Sagittarius Moon, & Gemini Sun--all by April 12, we may see more delays or shut downs of these efforts. We shall see...This Leo Full Moon forms a fixed cross as the Leo Moon opposes the Aquarius Sun & both luminaries square Juno in Scorpio (the partner in the sign of joint resources) opposite Uranus (sudden change.) This period will likely shock even more people out of their complacency over Trump's attempts to take a wrecking ball to America's usual civil & legal structures. Some are calling this a coup from the inside, which puts a new slant on Trump's “deep state” propaganda to mean that HE is the “deep state.” *(Well, it wouldn't be the first time that he is what he projects others to be, right?)Meanwhile, we delve into the meaning of the recent shift of the transiting nodal axis into a Virgo South Node & Pisces North Node, & take a look at the health implications (not only for the U.S. but for the world) since the Hygeia's (asteroid goddess of health) conjoined with the dwarf planet Eris, the goddess of chaos & discord on January 9. This as we await whether the February 11 Senate voters confirm that RFK, Jr., will become our next U.S. Secretary of Health & Human Services.This, as wounded healer Chiron in Aries (wound around the previous inability to take action or to be proactive) heads toward its exact conjunction with Eris on May 26. A lot will likely happen between now and then, given other major astrological shifts coming up, so we'll wait, and watch, and see…Join me now for this interesting and timely podcast @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking and I'll see you then!

    JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM FOR THIS WEEK'S “KARMIC EVOLUTION'S ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING PODCAST which discusses how this month's lunar cycle & America's Pluto Return have revealed America's shadow side energies…Do the results of the November 5 U.S. presidential election—which occurred during the early waxing period of November 1's Scorpio New Moon—prove that America's projections onto winner Donald Trump represent America's Pluto Return, a time of the death of democracy to be followed by some kind of rebirth?This podcast examines the journey of America's Pluto return, which technically began when transiting Pluto came within a degree of its natal 2nd House place at 27-degrees 33-minutes of Capricorn on May 21, 2021. This followed the January 6, 2021, storming of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., which marks the beginning of America's transformation.We explore the history of the birth of America through the lens of the beginning of the Revolutionary War—fought for freedom from the tyranny of the British monarchy/king--& the U.S. Sibly chart's July 4, 1775, Declaration of Independence.Along the way we discuss how this recent election has thrust a large portion of the American population into shock & disbelief of the PTSD kind. And how, given Pluto's archetypal association with the necessity of a breakdown in order to breakthrough--or the alchemical process of death leading to rebirth—we are in the first stages of dealing with the potential death of democracy.We explore too Carl Jung's definition of the Plutonian alchemical process which begins by consciously recognizing our shadow projections. Often a shocking revelation, this provokes the break down all the way through to until we reach the stage of of individuation & ultimately what Jung called “authentic personification.” That means engaging in the process of becoming--then ultimately BEING--who we really came here to be.This process is neither easy nor painless, as history has already proven. And it's often change that begets more change. That is what revolutions are born from. People take the streets when their lives are personally impacted.As Saturn stations direct once again on November 15—the same day of the Taurus Full Moon which aligns itself with Uranus retrograde in Taurus (signifying a sudden potential change of heart) & opposes the Scorpio Sun—will we eventually recognize the need to release this shadow side energy? Or will circumstances have to get far worse as the shadow energy expands until some kind of future action is taken?We are in the period of the birth of America, which spanned from 1775 to 1789 during which period a war was fought, independence was gained, a Constitution written, a president inaugurated, and a justice system incorporated through the seating of a Supreme Court.In essence, if history is our guide, America's Pluto return has just begun. When transiting Uranus moves into Gemini July 7, 2025, & begins to conjoin its natal place at 8-degrees 55-minutes of Gemini in the U.S. Sibly chart in 2027, history has proved the U.S. tends to enter wars. First, of course, the American Revolution; second, the American Civil War; and third, World War II. These have tended to occur as each 84-year cycle of Uranus ended and a new one began.This podcast reminds us all that America has shown its true face: that of indifference to the inequities inherent in its democratic system of governance. Racism, misogyny, & xenophobia are not new here. They have simply been hidden from view all this time within the mainstream of society.This current Pluto Return is bringing these hidden shadow energies to the forefront & revealing them for all to see. So, when a deportation crew comes for our neighbor, will we remain silent? When they come for our teachers & librarians will we remain silent? When they come for our governor or senator or representative, will we remain silent?And when they then come for YOUR undocumented spouse, will YOU remain silent? When they come for your Arab-American son-in-law, will you remain silent? And when they come for YOU, who will be left? And so it goes, as history repeats itself—or at least rhymes--over and over and over again.While initially shocking & depressing for many of us, this recent election will undoubtedly spark change--possibly through a societal revolution that leads to war, if that is the only way to effect long-term future change. That's Pluto, my friends…And while that may seem to some far-fetched and to others far off, the seeds have been planted and it's this Scorpio monthly lunar cycle that cries out to us to plant the seeds that help us recognize the TRUTH about what America has become.And the November 15 Taurus New Moon--since our shadows have now been revealed--will beg us to jettison our previously hidden hatreds, jealousies, & perceived need for revenge & retribution against “THEM.” Because as Walt Kelly's character Pogo the possum revealed long ago: “We have met the enemy, and he is US.”Listen to more Astro News You Can Us in this week's podcast @ KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM which drops today November 8 at 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET!

    JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM for this week's “Karmic Evolution's Astrologically Speaking” podcast that drops today & learn how the Scorpio New Moon moves us to plant seeds that empower us to TRUST ourselves!First we look back at what's been revealed to us with stark clarity this past week since Mercury in Scorpio opposed Taurus Rx in Uranus October 30. Was this aspect of sudden shocking & surprising statements the real “October surprise” leading up to this year's U.S. presidential election? We'll discuss whether, as Mars in Cancer waxes toward its exact opposition to Pluto in Capricorn November 3, the angry racist, xenophobic, & misogynist rhetoric made by a presidential candidate & his supporters will change the outcome of the November 5 U.S. presidential election. This may prove true as Uranus retrograde in Taurus asks us to continue to review & re-evaluate our basic values, especially now based on what prominent people say. History often rhymes, & the current atmosphere bears close similarity to the “October surprise” from October 28, 2016, when a late in the game announcement by then FBI Director James Comey changed the direction of the November 8 election's outcome that year.      In addition, this podcast compares the astrology of the GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump's October 27 rally at NYC's Madison Square Garden with the pro-Nazi rally held there on February 20, 1939, & find some not so subtle similarities. Hint: This time transiting Mars in Cancer is opposing both transiting Pluto AND the U.S. natal Pluto in the Sibly chart's 8th & 2nd Houses, respectively. Back in 1939, transiting Pluto in Cancer in the U.S.'s 8th H opposed not only its natal 2nd H position but also transiting Juno in Capricorn there, the goddess asteroid of “the wife” or partnership. Perfect scenario for pissing off those who may formerly have supported you, eh?We look also at how Trump's continuing misogynist rhetoric, including the Mars opposite Pluto type recent statement that he will protect women “whether they like it or not” will spawn a “hell that no fury like a woman scorned” tsunami at the polls. This is entirely possible, now that Trump's 3rd H progressed Scorpio Moon is less than a degree away from an exact square to his natal 12th House Leo Pluto. The simple definition? “Trouble with women!”Meanwhile, the question becomes whether we've heeded the October 2 Libra New Moon solar eclipse's request to plant seeds that blossom into us all becoming our own best partner before seeking external ones. If so, now the Scorpio New Moon tasks us to reject Libra's indecisiveness & instead to go deep into trusting our own inner truth. What does that mean? Well, the message now at this Scorpio New Moon is to plant seeds that can blossom into a greater sense of self-empowerment. That comes through the Mercury opposite Uranus revelations of October 30 that helped spark a deeper understanding & greater consciousness that a strong sense of true inner trust brings with it freedom of choice. We're aided in this endeavor to expand our consciousness when Mercury in Scorpio trines Mars in Cancer & then enters Sagittarius November 2. The exact Mars/Pluto opposition is followed by Venus in Sagittarius's opposition to Jupiter in Gemini November 3, which is also when Mars enters loud & proud Leo later that day.Venus opposite Jupiter brings up the issue of how much is too much & whether those who have more (you know, like billionaires Elon Musk & Jeff Bezos) should share more with those who do not—or at least not accuse the have nots of being lazy good for nothing loafers. You know, those who suck at the teat of government, as former President Ronald Reagan was fond of saying while promoting his austerity-oriented cuts to federal funding. The Scorpio Sun's November 4 trine to Saturn Rx in Pisces --which is slowing down now to station direct on November 15—allows us a clearer mental picture of who we are & what we do in order to develop the self-discipline necessary to accomplish our goals.With that in mind, this podcast explores the transits to the U.S. Sibly chart on election day, November 5, when the Moon moves that morning from fiery adventurous Sagittarius to earthy practical Capricorn as we stand at the threshold of this most important juncture in U.S. history.  How that will play exactly remains to be seen, but know that the “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned Mars/Pluto opposition is still very much in play. As is the square of transiting Saturn retrograde in Pisces in the U.S. 4th House of home, security, tradition, family, nurturing, compassion, memory, & habit to the U.S. Sagittarius/Gemini Ascendant/Descendant axis.Will Americans' relationship with the presidential candidates be “severely tested” now, as astrologer Rob Hand describes this aspect in his book “Planets In Transit.” Or will it result in ”a serious breakdown in your relationships because of misplaced priorities in the past or because of associating with people who were wrong for you in terms of your personal goals & needs.”   Great question, and a good one to keep in mind as some people are still deciding who to vote for. I'll leave everyone with this to ponder now: Is it true that wise ol' Saturn does always know best in the end? Tune in to KARMIC EVOLUTION DO COM starting today for this week's podcast & all the Astro News You Can Use!

     JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM for a new podcast that drops October 25 & reviews this month's lunar cycle—as we head toward the November 1 Scorpio New Moon!We'll trace Sun/Pluto cycle of empowerment/disempowerment in the charts of the two U.S. presidential candidates as it reached its waning square just before the Sun moved into Scorpio October 22. We discuss also if this election's October surprise involves the word “fascist” since the revealing (Mercury's in Scorpio now!) of a certain past president's “fascist tendencies” at the third-quarter lunar square of the Leo Moon to the Scorpio Sun October 24.It pays now to remember that the Libra New Moon solar eclipse on October 2 asked us to plant seeds that could grow into a stronger sense of how to become our own best partner without the need to rely on others, especially if/when those relationships prove unsustainable and/or toxic.The Aries Full Moon October 17 then asked us to release any of these partnerships that no longer sustain us in healthy ways and asked us to continue to think and act independently, free from the influence of others.And now--as we reached the “crisis in consciousness” third-quarter lunar square October 24--& we're eleven days from one of the most important elections in U.S. history, we're faced with taking what we've learned since the Libra New Moon on October 2, which carried the them of loss & separation. Can we shed “old patterns & beliefs that no longer serve our highest good,” as renowned astrologer Dane Rudhyar described this portion of the lunar cycle? Especially as these old patterns relate to this month's lunar cycle theme of partnership?In short, it's decision time! Aiding us during this lunar cycle's waning period Venus in Sagittarius's square to retrograde Saturn in Pisces on October 28, as we grapple with what Rob Hand in his “Planets In Transit” book calls the necessity to “separate yourself from the illusions that run through even the best relationships & to look at what is really there.”Given that voting is done in secret, a nod to Scorpionic archetypal energy—it's not a bad idea to heed Hand's advice be “have awareness of yourself as an independent, even isolated human being, realizing that no one can get inside of you and feel what you feel.This may, in fact, be heightened by the Mercury in Scorpio opposition to retrograde Uranus in Taurus by October 30, followed by Mercury trine to retrograde Neptune in Pisces October 31 & the November 1 Scorpio New Moon.The Mercury/Uranus opposition October 30 may result in revelatory “secrets” coming at us rapidly—causing shock & surprise which cause us “aha!” moments. Perhaps the October surprise period will not have ended until then with the U.S. presidential election then only seven days way, who knows?However, the Mercury/Neptune trine that follows on October 31 may result in a more empathic mindset; one where we feel more sympathetic toward others and “genuinely want to aid anyone who needs your help…” according to Rob Hand.Hence, by the time we reach the Scorpio New Moon on November 1, we'll be ready to plant seeds that allow us to better understand how we really FEEL deep down in our bones about who we can trust. That's because we'll be fine-tuning the deep bonded trust we have in ourselves.As Polonius said in Shakespeare's “Hamlet”: “This, above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.”Don't miss Karmic Evolution's Astrologically Speaking podcast @ KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM--or any of your favorite podcast stations—which drops October 25!

That's because it's energy will begin to contract as it slows down even further until it stations direct again on February 4, 2025, at 11'17” Gemini.Meanwhile, Jupiter joins Uranus retrograde in Taurus (since September 1) as it calls us to review whether or not the future plans we've envisioned are actually possible to manifest in concrete form. Together, Uranus & Jupiter retrograde call us to review, rethink, reanalyze, and re=plan our future. Meanwhile, the October 13 Sun/Jupiter Rx trine may temporarily provide us with an extra shot of enthusiasm because it can allow us to see the entirety of the bigger picture. We might keep this in mind when afterward our plans begin to seem to come to a halt and as Uranus Rx has already been calling us to replace idealism with realism to ensure any plan's future success. Meanwhile, Pluto's October 11 station direct at 29'39” Capricorn symbolizes the last gasp of Pluto's journey through Saturn-ruled Capricorn since its last transit there between 1762 and 1778. So it will be a while before this transit occurs again, lol…Pluto's about empowerment. The recent set of eclipses—who's energies are still in effect now--are about loss and separation. And the Fall lunar and solar eclipses (September 17 & October 2, respectively) call us still to break free from the past karmic habit of clinging to relationships that no longer serve us—most especially those that actually harm us…These themes of self-empowerment within partnerships echo throughout both eclipses as well as through the Mercury's entrance into Scorpio October 13, the Libra Sun square Mars in Cancer & Venus opposite Uranus October 14, & the upcoming Aries New Moon on October 17. Tune into KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM for all this & more Astro News You Can Use when this week's podcast drops October 11!

In addition, we explore the deeper meaning of this month's Virgo New Moon lunar cycle as it begins to wane, and how we're asked to jettison now any self-criticism that keeps us from being of service to ourselves in a loving accepting way—flaws and all.It's only when we can accept & come to love our own imperfections that we can feel the same way about others.We then look where these eclipses fall in the chart of current GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump & explore how they trigger his natal T-square responsible for his past successful image building & whether this image is dissolving now.We discuss also whether the two recent assassination attempts—in part related to transiting Uranus in Taurus's squares to Trump's natal Leo Mars on July 13 and September 15—might signify the symbolic dissolution (Pisces) transformation/death/end (read: Pluto) of his political campaign rather than his literal passing.We look also at the Sun's thematic entrance into peace, harmony, and equality related Libra at the September 22 fall equinox, & that day's Venus/Pluto cardinal square accompanied by Venus's entrance into Scorpio. Clearly issues of power, sex, money resources & joint resources (read: other peoples' money), & trust have already made an appearance within the collective.We have the unsuccessful attempt by U.S. GOP House majority speaker Mike Johnson's to pass a governmental funding continuing resolution bill tied to another that demands proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. Currently, there is no factual proof such legislation is necessary as the federal government requires only a “yes” or “no” on its voter registration form for federal elections & hardly any cases of illegals voting have surfaced through the years.Join us for all this astro news you can use & more, including the September 24 third-quarter monthly lunar square of the Cancer Moon to the Libra Sun, Virgo Mercury's opposition to Pisces Neptune (an echoe of the Sun/NE opposition perfected on September 20), & the messenger god's move into Venus-ruled Libra September 26.See you at KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM!

But neither can we manifest ideologies that represent “perfection” without recognizing the reality of practical roadblocks.This Uranus retrograde period invites us to review what's actually obtainable in terms of the future and what is not. Ideological visions which lack a physical container will require some kind of adjustment if we wish to actually manifest our future plans.That this is true now becomes apparent when we recognize that the recent Virgo New Moon from September 2 asked us to plant seeds the remind us that “perfect is the enemy of the good,” and that we are “perfect in all our imperfections.” Acceptance of these facts help us tailor our expectations of making the world a “perfect” place into more reality-based future expectations.Meanwhile, Pluto's return to Capricorn from September 1 to November 19 reminds us of the last dying gasp of “business as usual” in terms of corporate interests trumping the rights of individual consumers.

AND, how this factors into Uranus's station retrograde & Pluto retrograde's reentrance into Capricorn September 1 as we head toward Monday's September 2 Virgo New Moon!We look at all of this through the lens of U.S. Silby birth chart & the current U.S. political situation, especially as we head toward the home stretch of the upcoming November 5 U.S. presidential election during the nation's currently ongoing Chiron configuration return.We explore how the wounds incurred at the inception of this nation need healing still today, as they include the lack of TRUE equality for all citizens--including first & foremost Native Americans & African Americans, women, & immigrants—despite a U.S. Declaration of Independence that declares “all men equal.”Despite this Declaration's statement: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” it's clear nearly 250 years later that this hasn't proven true for ALL.Though evident throughout U.S. history, it's during the U.S. Pluto, return which began in 2022, how many are not included in the “all men” category (i.e., those mentioned above.)

This podcast includes a deep dive into where this month's lunar cycle's Leo New Moon fell in the charts of the two U.S. presidential candidates & where this Aquarius Full Moon falls--& what this portends.For example, we note how GOP candidate Donald Trump has been experiencing for some time now that transiting Pluto's been causing others to adjust how they view his potential return to the White House, & how transiting Uranus is resulting in sudden changes to his reputation out in the world.  Likewise, we note where the beginning of this month's lunar cycle fell in his chart, & how to interpret this based on what he's being asked to release now at this Aquarius Full Moon. If the word “self-aggrandizement” doesn't say it all, then I don't know what does, lol…In addition, given the current buzz about Trump's declining mental acuity, we review how transiting Neptune has affected this from the astrological point of view. And that astrology proves that Trump has, in fact, been experiencing mental decline since May 2019. Why? Because that's when transiting Neptune in his 7th H of partnership squared his natal 10th House Gemini Uranus--causing him to be somewhat out of touch with reality, as evidenced by his “big lie” following his 2020 presidential election loss. Transiting Neptune then went on to square his nodal axis spanning his 4th to 10th Houses—the effects of which this podcast defines in greater detail. Transiting Neptune then squared his 4th House Sagittarius Moon, & finally his 10th Gemini Sun, & all of this took place between 2019 & 2023. The proof is in the pudding, as they say, & it's clear from the astrological point of view—especially since frictional Neptune aspects can often result (especially for someone in their seventies) in “confusion, illusion, & delusion”--that Trump has become more and more cognitively impaired during this time period.Meanwhile, we take a similar look at Kamala Harris's chart, her sudden rise to the democratic candidacy since July 21's Capricorn Full Moon, & her subsequent rise in popularity. We note how this Aquarius Full Moon makes positive aspects to her natal Sun & Moon, how it lands on her natal Mars/Saturn/Jupiter T-square & how transiting Uranus liberates  her now to break free from old constraints--but in accordance with her natal slow & steady wins the race astrologically-oriented personality. Join us for all this and more Astro News You Can Use at KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM, & we'll see you there!

     JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM WHEN TODAY'S “KARMIC EVOLUTION'S ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING!”  for all of this & more Astro News You Can Use!First we review what went down during the balsamic period of last month's lunar cycle, then discuss the August 4 Leo New Moon & Mercury's station retrograde in Virgo from the lens of the upcoming American presidential election.Could it be that Mercury retrograde in Virgo asks us to reevaluate our attitude toward whether or not a woman can be president? Especially given that Virgo's traditionally an archetypal sign representing, among other things, the girl next door & “the virgin” (which of course applies to females and not males in this patriarchal world we've been living in for so long.)Next we look at the energies inherent in the upcoming new synodic cycle when Mars meets Jupiter in Gemini & Mercury retrograde reenters Leo August 14. Will our gung ho attitude be slowed by Mercury Rx AND frustrated since Mars also squares Saturn in Pisces late on August 14/early August 15?And might this frustration relate to resistance (Saturn) to the motivation (Mars) to electing a female as the head of state here in the U.S.? And might such resistance prove frustrating to many who support electing the first American female head of state? As always, however, Mars/Saturn frustration is best relieved by slow, concentrated, hard work!Next we turn our attention to the upcoming repeat of Mercury retrograde in Leo square to Uranus in Taurus & the Leo Sun's conjunction with Mercury retro in Leo—on August 18. We might remember this Mercury direct square to Uranus just after the July 21 Capricorn Full Moon & how the world was rocked by President Joe Biden's sudden announcement he was dropping out of the presidential race.So, what will it be this time? And might it be related to the scare the world felt when the stock market took a sudden dive on August 2 (given that Venus squared Uranus that day) and then continued its downward movement as Venus quincunxed Pluto August 5 (signifying the need for an adjustment?)So, might the August 18 Mercury Rx/Uranus square & Leo Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction lead us to a repeat of some sort of sudden, possibly shocking announcement? Perhaps related to the announcement of an interest rate drop by U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell BEFORE the expected date in September--especially since Venus squares Jupiter August 18 too?Join us at KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM as we explore all of these astro energies as they relate to the news, and more! Especially as we look also at the deeper meaning of the current Mercury retrograde cycle (which ends August 24) as he begins to enter the fire element for the rest of the year and beyond!Are we tasked to ask ourselves now—as renowned Jungian astrologer Erin Sullivan suggests in her book “Retrograde Planets, Traversing the Inner Landscape”--“How can my inspiration create my future?” Much food for thought so be sure to join us & have a listen as we take a deeper dive into all this & more !

AND which urged us to let go of the past and move toward a stronger more realistic future foundation…Plus, how wounded healer Chiron's retrograde period from July 25 through December 29 represents America's fifth Chiron return—which may prove just prove the impetus for America to elect its first woman president & help restore women's rights to full bodily autonomy.(Hint: This retrograde is part of the triggering of the U.S. Sibly birth chart's Chiron configuration that began April 18, 2022--after which the Supreme Court Dobbs decision denied women these rights on June 24, 2022--and doesn't end until February 18, 2025!)Between 1776 & now—with the current approximately every 50-year Chiron configuration return--women's rights have both benefitted and suffered.

    JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM for this week's “Karmic Evolution's Astrologically Speaking!” podcast which drops today, We discuss all the Astro News You Can Use, including repercussions of the July 11/12 Venus/Pluto opposition & what decisions we're facing now at this first quarter lunar square of the Libra Moon to the Cancer Sun!First it pays to remember that the Gemini New Moon monthly lunar cycle--which spanned from June 5 until July 5--& marked by a Sun/Moon/Venus in Gemini square Saturn in Pisces, asked us to plant seeds related to discussing who or what we truly value. And the June 21 Capricorn Full Moon called us to release any tendencies toward infantile behavior of clinging to the past--purely out of habit—rather than entertaining a more serious point of view.However, since the Cancer New Moon July 5--teamed again with Venus but in mutable T-square to Virgo Juno, the goddess asteroid of partnership opposite Saturn in Pisces—asked us to plant seeds that might allow us to decide whether to break, or stay, with current partnerships.Now, the first quarter monthly lunar square of the Libra Moon to the Cancer Sun July 13 urges us to decide where we stand on this issue. In other words, the challenge now is to decide (and we know that the Libra archetype often can be extremely indecisive) whether to align with the emotional past or look forward more realistically to the future.Since the Libra Moon opposes wounded healer Chiron & Eris (the dwarf planet of chaos, discord, & strife) in Aries, while the Cancer Sun squares them both—forming a cardinal T-square--we may find an awful lot of, well, chaos surrounding our partnership decisions right now.Our challenge is to push through this energy with a realistic eye toward the future. This is especially true since we're headed for Mercury's quincunx to Saturn (mental adjustment to reality), an exact Cancer Sun's cardinal square to Chiron in Aries (the wounded leader?), & the Mars/Uranus exact conjunction at 26-degrees 19-minutes of Taurus--all on July 15!As we already know, Uranus in Taurus for the past six years has taught us that the more we resist change, the more sudden & shocking change will be when it arrives, seemingly out of the blue. And in Taurus, change means in reevaluating what we truly value, i.e., our most precious resources, be they our personal relationships, health, finances, etc., or Mother Earth more generally…The first sign of this comes with Venus's move into Leo & the subsequent Venus/Pluto Rx opposition from Leo to Aquarius July 12.We look as well at the repercussions of Saturn & Neptune retrograde thus far, the fact that the upcoming second Capricorn Full Moon on June 21 will bring the repeat the basic message: To let go of the past and deal more realistically with plans for the future.Along the way, we analyze the charts of President Joe Biden (& that Mars/Uranus/Algol conjunction opposing his natal 12th House Scorpio Sun), & Clarence Thomas who's 1st House Aquarius Moon is currently caught between the Venus/Pluto opposition in his 7th House!Join us @KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM for more on the fallout from this “venal” aspect as related through current news, & an exploration of the deeper meaning of Mars/Uranus also conjoining with fixed start Algol.

     JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN WHEN THIS WEEK'S PODCAST DROPS @KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM JULY 5 as we say “happy birthday” to America, which turned 248 years old on July 4!Given the current state of the nation, it's time to review both its past and its future—especially within the context of the triggering of our first exact Pluto return, which perfected initially on February 20, 2022 & whose effects are still being felt now. The fact that America is now in a long-term state of transformation is, at this point, undeniable, and the only questions now are how long will this transformational period last & what will be the end result?It seems impossible to deny that the United States of America, a Cancer Sun nation, is having a recurrence of the energies of the late 1770's since transiting Pluto first returned to its natal place on February 20, 2022 & it repercussions are still being felt. To prove this, we need only look at the major Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity issued on July 1--during the waning portion of the previous Gemini New Moon cycle--which essentially anoints a U.S. president a king.Given that this is what the original colonists fought against during the American Revolutionary War—which lasted from 1775-1783—it would seem we've been thrust back in time to relive a similar situation now.Is it possible the current state of chaos & confusion related to the upcoming November 5 U.S. presidential election is the result of an undeniably disastrous June 27 debate performance by President Biden two days before Saturn stationed retrograde on June 29 & less than a week before Neptune's station retrograde July 2? Well, it certainly seems these heavenly retrogrades have thrust this nation back into a crisis of wondering who will lead us through not only current, but future, crises & whether that person is up to the job…We look in this podcast as the prescient writing of NY-based astrologer Michael Lutin, who wrote in the December 2006 issue of Vanity Fair Magazine that as transiting Pluto in Capricorn reconjoined its natal position in the U.S. birth chart that:“The words "patriot" and "treason" will lose their meaning, and in some cases they will become interchangeable. What is treason to one person will be patriotism to another—just as it was back in the 1760s and 70s. The country's mood will become darker and much more conservative. It's not going to be a matter of Democrat or Republican anymore, because the new ideologies will bleed across party lines.”We explore, too, how this July 5 Cancer New Moon--which pits Juno, the asteroid goddess of “the partner” in Virgo against Saturn retrograde in Pisces--poses barriers & boundaries in the realm of partnership. This is echoed as well in the grand cardinal cross formed by both luminaries in opposition to dwarf planet Ceres in authoritative Capricorn. This leaves us at a crossroads as they all square the transiting karmic Libra South Node & Aries North Node at this lunation.If we look at this in the context of Washington, D.C., and the June 27 U.S. presidential debate between Joe Biden & Donald Trump, we can see Juno in Virgo's critical nature against a weak-appearing father (read: authority figure.) As Jungian astrologer Liz Greene puts it in her book “Saturn: A New Look at an Old Devil,” Saturn in Pisces represents, among other things, “a weak father.”Tune in—today or anytime—to KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM to learn more about the triggering of America's Pluto return & how we're in the thick of it now. And how criticism of the current president became louder as we approached the Mercury in Leo opposition to Pluto in Aquarius. July 3.We'll look at Venus entering Leo as we head toward July 11 & her opposition to Pluto by July 12, & whether or not there will be increased resistance to funding the campaigns of both sitting President Biden and his opponent Donald Trump. It's already in the ethers right now for Biden as we can clearly see.All this & more astro news you can use—including Venus's square wounded healer Chiron July 5 & 6, trines of the Sun & Venus to Neptune Rx July 10 & 11, and that Venus/Pluto opposition July 12 as we head toward the Cancer New Moon's first quarter square July 13!

We'll review how astrological energies of the past week actually played out as the Gemini New Moon lunar cycle from June 6 continues to wax toward next week's Capricorn Full Moon June 21…As Mars in Taurus waxed toward its exact fixed square to Pluto in Aquarius on June 11—an aspect that can predict violence--we first learned of the rescue of four Israeli hostages in Gaza, but also that, in doing so, 274 Palestinians perished. And on June 10, the U.N. Security Council passed a U.S.-backed Gaza cease-fire resolution that laid out a three-phase plan that begins with an immediate cease-fire.But action there has been stalled, as per the squares to Saturn by Venus, the Sun, & Mercury between June 8 & 10—as the Gemini New Moon began to wax--just as it's been stalled elsewhere in places like the U.S. Congress. These squares reflect resistance, particularly from authority figures &/or institutions.This became obvious this past week in Germany & France, where right-wing factions gained ground in last week's elections, causing French President Macron to dissolve the lower house of parliament & call for new elections beginning June 30. Part of a historic surge of the far-right's in European elections—including in Germany—France's politics have been thrown into disarray.This podcast reviews also how on June 11 former President Donald Trump, convicted on May 30 of 34 felonies, met with his probation officer who will make sentencing recommendations to the judge who's scheduled to announce Trump's sentene on July 11.Also on July 11, as Mars exact squared Pluto, a jury found Hunter Biden guilty for lying about his drug use on his application to own a gun. As noted, Mars & Pluto in frictional aspect can mean violence, and guns—whether used or not—certainly imply potential violent intent.We look during this podcast at Hunter Biden's natal chart & discuss how it reflects the sudden loss of his mother due to an automobile accident. It's Gemini season, after all, & the Geminian archetype includes local transportation--& Biden has a Mars/Uranus opposition square to his natal Cancer/Capricorn Ascendent/Descent. Tune in for more about this…More on the Mars/Pluto square front was the news that Steve Bannon, Trump's former chief of staff during the early years of his presidency is due to report to jail on July 1, though he's still attempting a last minute appeal. Bannon--who's been accused of stealing money from the fund collected to “build the wall” (the resurrection of another Saturnian symbol during a week of squares to Saturn,” lol)—is being jailed for refusing to respond to a House January 6 committee subpoena & was sentenced to four months in prison on October 21, 2022. Talk about delay, eh?And, how about—as we approached the June 13/14 first quarter lunar square of the Virgo Moon to the Gemini Sun AND the Sun/Mercury conjunction in Gemini—the Supreme Court decision declaring that the case to prevent mifepristone from being sent through the mail was decided. The lack of standing of the petitioners was the deciding factor, but this means another case is probably coming down the pike, again illustrating those squares to Saturn as a delay but not a final resolution.Finally, there's the decision by the G7 nations meeting this past week that both U.S. & European banks housing frozen Russian assets—to the tune of $250BN—agree to use the $50BN in interest to fund a U.S. loan to Ukraine to help with this nation's reconstruction once the war of Russian aggression there ends. Confiscating "joint resources" monies as retribution against war--you can't get more Mars/Pluto square-y than that!Tune in to learn more about the astrological specifics of all this and more Astro News You Can Use! @KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM!

JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM for the latest “Karmic Evolution's Astrologically Speaking!” podcast @KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM—dropping June 7 @ 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET—for a breakdown of Astro News that's led us to point…Just as night follows day, it's a given that one monthly lunar cycle follows another—astrology is, after all, the study of cycles. This podcast delves deeply into how this past month's planetary aspects—starting with the May 7 Taurus New Moon monthly lunar cycle--helped us renew our innate sense of morality, ethics, and yes, true justice!By now most of us are familiar with the May 30 waning third quarter lunar square & the big news about a trial conviction for former president Donald Trump as Mercury conjoined Uranus in Taurus. This podcast looks at the play-by-play of astrological aspects that led to a jury of his peers finding him guilty on all 34 felony counts, & how in the end that Taurus New Moon cycle's energies reinforced our inherent sense of justice—including in the power of the feminine divine.HINT: We'll look at how, since May 7's Taurus New Moon lunation--& its conjunctions to Uranus & Jupiter in Taurus & sextile to Saturn in Pisces—we were asked us to plant seeds of greater commitment to our truest sense of ethics, morality, & the ability to judge fairly. And how the May 23 Sagittarius Full Moon called us to release our attachment to unrelated or random details that do not add up to the whole story.And now how that renewed sense of faith can lead us to discover-- during this Gemini New Moon monthly lunar cycle—that it's time to plant seeds that allows us to LISTEN to details that make sense because they add up to a logical conclusion. We may use the Gemini archetype's mental agility & adaptability to continue to exchange our old set of no longer relevant values for ones more appropriate to current times. And to plan to our tactical advantage, as long as we remember to keep in mind that we must develop an overall strategy that gets us to the end goal.  The issue this month will move from last month's lunar cycle's sextile to Saturn in Pisces to this month's set of squares to Saturn, which include Venus, the Sun, & Mercury in Gemini all squaring Saturn June 8 9, & 12. Will our renewed optimism turn to pessimism as this month progresses? Will there be even more spin (read: denying what is factually true) as we move toward through this month's lunar cycle?The key here is to get the facts straight and to keep the faith, babe, especially between now and when the Capricorn Full Moon on June 21 asks us to release any infantile habits or behaviors that might make us want to cry if we don't get our way…In addition, we discuss the waxing Mars/Pluto cycle, which began February 18 as it Mars makes an exact waxing square to Pluto July 11. Btw, July 11 is the same day Donald Trump is scheduled to be sentenced, unless his usually tactic of delay, delay, delay is successful, we shall see. We take note of the fact as well that Mars will exact oppose Pluto on November 1—just two days before the November 3, 2024 presidential election, so stay tuned…Finally, we look again at how transiting Pluto's been quincunxing Trump's Leo Ascendant conjunct fixed star Regulus & how I've been saying for months now that this was going to change (read: adjust) the public's views of who he “really” is. That, along with transiting Uranus hitting his Midheaven at the jury verdict, do not bode well for his reputation going forward. However, as always we shall see, but this podcase discusses also the deeper meaning of being born with Regulus prominent in one's chart & how it portends a fall from grace when one misuses one's power through any acts of revenge.Don't miss this week's “Karmic Evolution's Astrologically Speaking!” podcast at KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM!

Thus, it asked us to release our attachment toward endless chatter & the tendency to run around in mental circles, which can create both confusion & mental exhaustion. The Sagittarius Moon reminded the Gemini Sun that there's a bigger picture—based on a wider interpretation of our personal philosophies—that can cure the Geminian tendency toward getting stuck in the local ‘hood & ignore that there's a wider world out there to which we are all connected. Without such consciousness, the Gemini archetype can get stuck in the maze of its own making (read: distracted by gossip & conspiracy theories) & engage in short-term tactics that don't advance us toward an actual long-term goal.A perfect metaphorical example is this: Imagine the Gemini Sun as a person wandering confusedly through the labyrinth's maze, unable to find an exit. The longer one walks, the more confused one gets as she loses all sense of direction.Well, when the Sagittarius Moon tells the Gemini Sun to “look up!” he's reminding this archetypal energy that there's a way out. If we can expand our mind beyond the narrower ken of being stuck in that labyrinth's seemingly endless mental rut, we can rise above & see its configuration more clearly. The difference boils down to a rat being stuck in a maze with no way out compared to the eagle soaring above who sees the exit clearly.And the Gemini Sun's trine to Pluto Rx in Aquarius at this lunation called us to take stock of the deeper meaning of our lives & to study what no longer works so that we may make changes. The intent is to reform the necessary parts of our lives so they may run more smoothly in the future. Venus entered Gemini then, too, which can help us communicate with others in more loving ways as long as we watch out for superficial communication. So, as Jupiter enters Gemini May 25 for the next year until June 9, 2025, he will expand the Geminian archetype's potential. However, it goes without saying (though I'll say it anyway, lol) that this means it will expand both the good, bad, & the ugly. So, get ready for the expansion of new ideas, ways of communicating, more reading, writing, talking about, & discussing of, ideas. But be prepared also for Gemini's shadow side to rear its ugly head in the form of more mis- & disinformation & propaganda, gossip, fickle behavior, & conspiracy theories.However, since Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius is the sign of higher knowledge & expansion of consciousness, and includes in its archetypal range the subject of law, we may well see an expansion of legal applications to combat Gemini's shadow side energies. So, if we can keep the focus on the positive of Gemini's energies, which include talking, teaching, writing--& the reception of information through listening, learning, reading, & observing—we can make the highest use of Jupiter's transit through Gemini over the next year.Join us @KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM to hear more about the repercussions already being felt from the May 23 Sagittarius Full Moon, Jupiter's year-long move into Gemini May 25, & the upcoming astrological energies for this next week! These include current events as related to astrological ones, such as how the May 26 conjunction of Mars/Hygeia (goddess asteroid of health) & current Ceres/Chiron cardinal square in the sky may bring more famine in places like Gaza & Haiti before warring parties agree to a solution. (Ceres is the goddess of the grain, related to sustenance as both food & faith.)And whether Mars conjunct Chiron in Aries May 29 will result in a continued outcry by other nations (as Jupiter expands Gemini's ability to broadcast perspectives & opinions, along with its capacity for legal interpretation) for sanctions against Israel. And whether we'll hear a sudden announcement by the time Mercury conjoins with Uranus in Taurus May 30/31 (read: a jury verdict in the current Trump trial, maybe?) Stay tuned for all this & more Astro News You Can Use when you tune into this week's “Karmic Evolution's Astrologically Speaking” podcast which drops today!

    JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM for this week's podcast drops at First, let's remember how the March 10 Pisces New Moon called us to develop compassion—for both ourselves & others. Then the April 8 Aries New Moon solar eclipse, which conjoined wounded healer Chiron, asked us to speak out about past & present wounds so that we may heal them going forward.The April 23 Scorpio Full Moon square to Pluto in Aquarius illustrated that social reform is necessary to accomplish both of these goals, as this square—along with Pluto's May 2 station retrograde--represented groups fighting for future change & equality for all. Whether domestically in state legislatures or on college campuses where students call for international equality, this reality has become pretty obvious, wouldn't you say?And when Venus squared Pluto April 30/May 1 issues around sex & money hit the collective in rapid fire, including: Russia raising its citizens taxes to fund its war on Ukraine, the repeal & enactment of abortion laws in several U.S. states, & an ongoing election fraud trial in NYC centered on paying off a porn star to keep quiet about a sexual liaison to win a presidential election.We also had the news—just as Mercury stationed direct in Aries on April 25—that New York's highest court threw out Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction because it found the trial judge unfairly allowed testimony against Weinstein based on allegations that weren't part of the case. (Don't worry, he's still in prison based on the rape conviction in his Los Angeles trial.)This makes the message of the May 7 Taurus New Moon--which sextiled Saturn in Pisces—even more important with regard to showing greater respect for feminine divine energies & cycles. Especially as convicted sexual abuser former president Donald Trump continues to stand trial in New York for covering up a sex scandal with a porn star as part of an election fraud scheme. Quite representative of all the Venus energy juxtaposed against Mars in Aries right now in a "he said, she said" kinda way, right?Combined with the Aries True North Node's May 8 conjunction to Hygeia, the goddess asteroid of health, we're called this month to work toward improving our own & the world's health. The Sun's sextile to Saturn May 6/7 set the stage for the opportunity to succeed at a plan that Venus's May 13 sextile to Saturn can commit to for the long-term. But this will require a change in values as the Taurus Sun approaches conjunction to Uranus May 13, & a further commitment to justice as the Sun/Jupiter conjunction takes place May 18.And all of this further requires that we understand the messages sent to us already. That self-compassion leads to compassion for others, speaking out about our own & others' deep wounds leads to future healing, & that the opportunity to commit to lasting peaceful solutions that stand the test of time is what's most important as we move forward.Join us at KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT, or any of your favorite podcast stations, for more details about how the heavens reflect back to us these major messages!

This, combined with reduced frustration as the energy of the recent Mars/Saturn conjunction wanes, led to sudden U.S. Congressional cooperation & passage of funding for Ukraine--without which it's predicted Ukraine would lose the war against its Russian aggressor.We look further at how the April 23 Scorpio Full Moon formed a fixed square to Pluto in Aquarius & how this energy manifests now through widening student protests against U.S. support for Israel its war in Gaza, & the growing backlash by authority figures. (Read: Jupiter/Uranus conjunction, Scorpio Moon & Taurus Sun square Pluto in rebellious Aquarius=expansion of student (Jupiter) protests (Uranus/Aquarius) over U.S. financial backing (Taurus) of Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza (Jupiter as the ruler of higher education, law, foreign places, AND religion.) We explore another theme related to these energies in the form of finances & sexual abuse--as Venus approaches a square to Pluto April 30/May 1--by Spain's decision to hold the Catholic Church financially responsible for 440K victims of such abuse by clergy & others. Meanwhile, the Arizona state house repeals the archaic 1864 law that bans abortions there, & we wait to see if the state senate will follow suit. And then there's the U.S. DoJ's $138M award to female Olympic athletes abused by Larry Nasser, the official Olympic gynecologist at the University of Michigan, already serving tine in prison. Can't get more Venus/Pluto than that as the two approach their exact square April 30/May 1!Join us at KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM for more on all this, plus Venus's entrance into Taurus April 29, Mars' move into its own sign of Aries April 30, & the third-quarter monthly lunar square of the Aquarius Moon to the Taurus Sun May 1. (Hint: This asks us to push through current crises in ways that resonate with the mission of this monthly lunar cycle's inception at the April 8 Aries New Moon solar eclipse conjunct wounded healer Chiron by speaking out about our own & other peoples' pain & suffering.) And finally, we take a deeper look at the overall meaning of Pluto's station retrograde in Aquarius on May 2 until October 11. This is where the rubber meets the road in terms of each of us sorting out for ourselves where we stand in terms of morals/integrity, money, & power, & what we can discover from an intense exploration of the meaning of “soul” vs the allures, temptations, & trappings of the outer world…(Hint: Any personal confusion on what this means more specifically for each of us will come clear by watching what happens in the outer world & wider collective during this period!)Don't miss this explanation of how all these astro energies blend together to manifest in the physical world through a look at current events & our role in them!

(Hint: New revelations about necessary future evolutionary societal changes!)Along the way, Sheri discusses recent events within the collective related to Mercury & the Sun's conjunctions to Eris this past week & what news they brought us. AND, how the Sun's move into Taurus April 19 & waning Mars/Saturn in Pisces energy may calm things down a bit going forward, despite the currently ongoing warfare between places like Israel & Iran.Plus, we take a deep dive into Israel's natal chart to see where past wounds (Scorpio South Node conjunct wounded healer Chiron) are triggered now by an opposition from the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction & the quincunx from transiting Chiron in Aries. And how this may determine this nation's future actions/reactions, especially since its karmic nodal axis & Chiron square its natal Saturn/Pluto in Leo.We look also at where these energies occur in the U.S. Sibly chart. And how GOP House speaker Mike Johnson's recent change of heart on supporting funding for Ukraine can be seen as the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction occurs on the U.S. 6th H cusp, calling this nation to once again “be of service” to its allies.This is especially true as transiting Chiron continues making its return & triggers the natal U.S. chart's opposition of natal Chiron to natal Juno/Saturn (read: commitment in partnership) & square to its natal 7th H of partnership Cancer Sun. Translation: Congress debates passing financial & military support for Israel & Ukraine, & supplying humanitarian funds for Gazans based on the retriggering of its own natal wound. Read: The wound to its quest for independence from an overbearing monarchy, which led to its birth as an independent sovereign nation.Finally, the upcoming April 23 Scorpio Full Moon squares Pluto in Aquarius, telling us that change is inevitable as the evolution-oriented Scorpio Moon reflects the light of stubborn change-resistant Taurus Sun back to itself. Change is inevitable as a law of the universe, but won't come easily, as the square of both luminaries to Pluto in Aquarius is already been felt by events like the arrest of 100+ students protesting the war in Gaza at NYC's Columbia University on April 18.With Pluto about to enter Aquarius for the long haul on November 19, we're seeing shades of the revolutionary energy of the Uranus/Pluto conjunction in Virgo from the mid-1960's when the protests by students nationwide at college campuses were shut down by the authorities, sometimes brutally (Kent State, anyone?)We had a preview of this kind of energy when Saturn transited through Uranus-ruled Aquarius (a rebellious energy as well) from March 21, 2020 to July 1, 2020; and then later from December 17, 2020, to March 7, 2023. This is when we experienced groups of people taking to the streets in support of the Black Lives Matter movement—not only in America but in places like France too.Stay tuned for all this Astro News You Can Use & more by checking out this week's podcast @KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM (or any of your favorite podcast stations) starting at 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET today!

OR where did I decide to go along to get along & acquiesce with others against my true wishes?And how, as we approach the Aries New Moon solar eclipse on April 8, can I recognize—as Mercury retrogrades in Aries until April 25 & Mars waxes toward a conjunction with Saturn in Pisces April 10—that I must reorient my creative aspirations into ones more concretely possible in the real world?This podcast outlines the major happenings within the collective since the Capricorn Moon & dwarf planet Ceres squared the Aries Sun & transiting karmic nodal axis at the third-quarter lunar square April 1. (Hint: Ceres is related to “sustenance” in the form of both literal food & faith, as it's when our bellies are full that we can have faith that we needn't worry about from where our next meal will come.)And how the April 3 Venus/Neptune conjunction in Pisces—though fleeting—dissolved any fantasies around the success of previous plans because they've now proven to be unworkable.Further, we're watching now how Venus's April 4 entrance into Mars-ruled Aries transforms the goddess of beauty & love into a warrior for relationships, which--through negotiation & compromise—can prove more harmonious & peaceful in the end.We're challenged now—as Mars waxes toward an exact conjunction to Saturn in Pisces April 10--with the frustrating task of divining a new, more workable, plan for the future. And we have two choices with this aspect: fatigue & depression OR exhaustion after we put our shoulder to the wheel & work hard to achieve success.It's up to each of us to decide which way will prove more healing given Chiron's prominent presence conjunct the Sun & Moon in Aries at this solar eclipse, which calls us to act in order to heal old wounds.By April 11, when the Aries Sun meets Mercury retrograde at their inferior conjunction, we will doubtless hear some kind of major announcement from the powers that be. And it will likely be something that's revising an older policy or plan because, as noted, Mercury is retrograde--a time when we review & revise our previous courses of action. And it's then we hopefully will hear something meant to promote further healing within the collective.Tune in to KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM to hear more details about how astrological events within the collective illustrate how these heavenly energies manifest on terra firma!

In addition, we discuss how Mercury's station retrograde from 27-degrees 10-minutes Aries April 1 back to 16-degrees Aries on April 25--when it stations direct again--provides us all the opportunity to review where & how we need to make changes to those which no longer inspire us. This Mercury retrograde period may stall the flow of our creative juices—temporarily—but the gift is time to review where we may have lost our mojo & need to recapture the kind of intuitive inspiration that helps us better plan our future. This theme is likely to be most prevalent when Mercury hits the upcoming Mars-ruled April 8 Aries New Moon solar eclipse degree of 19-degrees 24-minutes of the archetypal sign of motivation, ambition, & proactive assertion.This period is already activated since Mercury already conjoined this eclipse degree circa March 20/21, will do so again when retrograde on April 16, & once more when direct on May 5. Combined with the theme of this spring eclipse season, we're asked to reorient our creative pursuits in order to release any stagnant non-productive energy & make way for something new—partnerships included.As always, we discuss also the specifics of where partners have come together to negotiate, compromise, & successfully change their attitudes toward each other, & where, sadly, people & nations are still at war. Given that the April 8 solar eclipse has both luminaries tightly conjunct wounded healer Chiron, we discuss as well how future healing may be possible since repercussions of the Libra Full Moon lunar eclipse last through November 20, 2024—the day the South Node conjoins the March 25 lunar eclipse degree.

    JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM FOR THIS WEEK'S PODCAST EXPLORING THIS ECLIPSE'S MESSAGE THAT  AN OPPOSITIONAL “IT'S MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY” ATTITUDE ONLY GETS YOU SO FAR, WHILE NEGOTIATION & COMPROMISE OF THE “TRY TO SEE IT MY WAY KIND” PROMISES A BETTER CHANCE FOR PEACE! This Libra Full Moon lunar eclipse asks us to realize that true partnership takes hard work & the commitment now to release any romanticized notions that relationship can magically simply work--without some kind of realistic effort to empathize with those of opposing viewpoints. The Beatles lyrics of “We Can Work It Out” come to mind: “Try to see it my way, do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on? If we see it your way, things may fall apart before too long…we can work it out, we can work it out…”But “can we work it out?” is the question as this Libra Full Moon lunar eclipse which occurs at 5'07 Libra at midnight PT & 3 a.m. ET March 25. Falling in the 9th House of law, immigration, morality, integrity, etc., & opposing the Aries Sun in the 3rd House of communication of the U.S. capitol illustrates the philosophical differences between those who prefer to duke it out with those who are willing to compromise for the sake of a higher purpose.The key lies with duking it out for the purpose of negotiating a compromise at this lunation, especially since both luminaries are waxing toward squares to Washington, D.C.'s 10'13” Capricorn/Cancer Ascendant/Descendant.This lunar eclipse has the Libra Moon standing alone against Aries Sun reminding it that independent action can only work for so long before some kind of partnership agreement can be reached. Negotiation & compromise is the only way to settle long term disputes in ways that may not make everyone joyous, but satisfies both parties enough in the end to forge a harmonious peace.This eclipse lunation is similar to the the Pisces New Moon on March 10 in that all of the planets are squished into a crowded conglomeration including from Jupiter in Taurus to Pluto in Aquarius. Back then, however, the Pisces Moon & Sun came together and were included in this fold, indicating both the possibility for a myopic focus in the negative sense, but also a strong sense of concentrated attention that could benefit specific areas of life. Now, since the conglomeration of planets is almost exactly the same--with the exception of the Sun's move into Aries on March 18 & Mars pending move into Pisces March 22—this eclipse lunation differs basically because the Libra Moon is now opposing the Aries Sun which resides within this group.So we have a situation where the Libra Moon's plea for negotiation & compromise toward a peaceful resolution of disputes between partners can be recognized in stark contrast to the ideologies of Pluto in Aquarius, the impetus for war amongst the planets in Aries, including the Sun, Chiron, Mercury, & Eris (Mars's sister in Greek mythology & the dwarf planet known as the goddess of discord & chaos), & the realization that we all share in the Piscean commitment to help those less fortunate than ourselves. At this eclipse, the Libra Moon is separating from a trine to Pluto in Aquarius, & a quincunx to Mars in Pisces. The former denotes a potential agreement between partners through negotiation, the latter a necessary adjustment as Mars moves from ideological warrior in Aquarius to a more empathic & compassionate one in Pisces. That's especially true as Venus now separates from Saturn in Pisces, a conjunction aspect that signifies commitment in partnership. Today's podcast, which drops at 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET 2 KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM, explores how we got here from there through a look back at this month's lunar cycle since March 10 & the one from February 9, with a detailed discussion of what's been revealed to us all since then & what needs to be released now. Included in this is a look at GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump's chart & how public perception has changed over time due to transiting Pluto's quincunx to his Leo Ascendant & the royal star Regulus, & transiting Uranus's approach to his Taurus Midheaven. Whether he pulls himself out of his current financial mess—which requires he post a $454 million bond by March 25, the day of the lunar eclipse—or not, we look at whether this portends further losses in public support for him…Don't miss this enlightening podcast!
