Astrology for the Soul

I am forever receiving impulses, From my primitive reptilian brain. In order to grow I need to control, And direct them again and again.☉ I know you know what I'm talking about! If we look at the Anthroposophical breakdown of the hierarchies (mineral, plant, animal, human, angel, archangel, archai, seraphim and cherubim), we can see that we are the link between the animal kingdom and the angelic realms. Our evolutionary development is to transform our animal instinctive nature, through loving consciousness, into conscious awareness, love, and compassion. Hence the mantra for this week! On another note, don't you LOVE the Sabian symbol for this week??? OMG! Indeed, It's amazing how smart, tricky, and devious the EGO is when it comes to rationalizing our past behavior in order to keep us from changing. We tell ourselves stories, believe our own stories and it takes a jolt (otherwise known as trauma) to wake us up to the fact that we have been BSing ourselves for heaven knows how long and it's time to get real. So that's what 2025 is all about and particularly this week when we can have some major breakthroughs and awakenings (of a positive nature). We may well be pleasantly surprised if, and when, we succeed in breaking free and letting go of the past, that most of our limiting beliefs and stories have been just that: LIMITING. Sun conjunct Jupiter early next week will open our eyes to some new possibilities and I hope you believe enough in yourself and LIFE to take them!

Information has been so overrated,Since I was a little child,But now that I know that there's much more to life,I will spend more time in the wild. ☉Well, I went on a rant today!  Whew!  What can I say?  What I didn't even get to is that this Jupiter square Saturn aspect, the “crisis in action,” had it's first pass last August with Saturn retrograde, the second pass on Christmas with Jupiter retrograde, and now the third pass with both planets direct.  An interesting note regarding this square, which has to do with breaking free from past security structures in order to express a new, elevated version of ourselves, had the first two passes in the mutable signs of Pisces and Gemini.  This third and final pass is occurring in the cardinal signs of Aries and Cancer.  The mutable signs have more to do with listening, taking in, and changing ourselves as a result of integrating the new information, needs, desires, and impulses.  Now, having the final pass in the cardinal signs, it's time to make choices and take action particularly around surrendering our past ways, habits, and limitations in order to open ourselves to the new possibilities that will be presenting themselves through the remainder of this year and into next year.The age-old axiom for whenever Jupiter and Saturn contact each other is “limited expansion.”  It is a time of cautious, careful planning rather than plunging, risking, and just “doing it.”  It's almost like you don't want to start setting the stage for Scene Two before you've cleared the stage from Scene One!  Know what I mean?  This is more about carefully selecting the people, places, things, and activities that support the new you and retiring what doesn't (with gratitude if possible!). Meditating in deep stillness, doing ceremony, and calling upon your higher self and Spirit for guidance, you may find it necessary to let go of some cherished people, places, or activities/habits.  On the other hand, if you are unconscious of your own true nature, needs, and soul desires, you may find people, places, things, or activities leaving you or being taken away.  In either case, knowing that life is always in complete support of your evolution will help lessen any feelings of loss, betrayal, abandonment, or victim consciousness. May you find peace through this transition!Born to be Wild!  https://youtu.be/egMWlD3fLJ8?si=4GtSqs8BTXH6MFtU Book a reading with Kaypacha!  https://newparadigmastrology.com/kaypachas-readings/So Much Love,Kaypacha

I will take some time to fully explore, This new world that's now emerging. Taking whatever helps me to balance, My thinking, feeling, and willing.☉A newsletter is probably not the best place, or long enough, to go fully into it, but let's pause for a moment and consider the changing definition of Spirit. The technological advances being made are shaking not only the foundations of the material physical world but humanity's definition of what Soul and Spirit are.Rudolf Steiner spoke of the descent of civilization into the depths of materialism that would be occurring throughout our lifetime. This descent involves not only a greater understanding and use of the material world but a loss of conscious relationship to the non-material world, the world of Spirit. We can observe this happening around us, as there is more trust and faith in Artificial Intelligence to answer our problems than in God, Spirit, Allah, Buddha, or Christ. There is, I feel, an increasing reliance on "intelligence" over "love" as the solution to our problems. I meant to discuss this in today's report, as there are currently no planets in water (save the Moon for a few days). This emphasis on the elements of Fire, Earth, and Air can create a dry, disconnected reality that lacks the spiritual and emotional feeling of oneness and unity. I can't wait for Jupiter to enter Cancer on June 10th! However, putting Jupiter aside, we will still have Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus in Fire and air signs for the next 7 years and Saturn in Aries for almost 3. As mentioned in the report, it will be up to us as spiritual human beings to be ever more aware of and breathe life into the earth/water elements. Let us not lose touch with the soft, feminine, spiritual/emotional aspects of ourselves lest we lose touch with our very own souls. Rather, let us laugh, sing, dance, feel, and express the beauty of love in our lives. We can do this! Welcome to the Machine:  https://youtu.be/PtTzX_XsjYs?si=ZZa59P2FrvS82LDd So Much Love,Kaypacha☉

Like Joseph waking up after his dream, Knowing they had to go, I'm thankful for the guidance received, And will pack up and head down that road. ☉I looked up the date for when the Sun was conjunct Pluto: January 21, with Mercury following close behind on the 29th. Seeds that were sown or root core issues brought to the surface at that time to be transformed are now returning in a new light for healing. As I mentioned in the report, expect revelations on Saturday that will lead to healing throughout the weekend and through Tuesday.Needless to say, these changes that we're going through are rippling through the entire collective conscious and unconscious. The birth pangs will be rattling our cages both internally and externally over the next 9 months. Two key messages that come to mind are, first of all, the one in the mantra "I'm thankful for the guidance received." Repeating that over to ourselves will also remind us of Spirit's presence in our lives and invite our guidance to grow louder. Secondly, more than anything else, be as gentle as possible with yourself and others during these times of transition. Try to go as slowly as possible, spend time in nature, paint, run, dance, do yoga, and whatever is helpful for your body/mind and immune system. Slowing down and caring for the nervous system will also help soothe and calm the emotions, reduce anxiety, and help sleep (so you get more dreams!). Let's all hang in there, knowing that the far distant shore will be here before we know it! Blessings on your journey!It Don't Come Easy!  https://youtu.be/UDcZxEpA9XY?si=q4aOGpqkD-h7KqCI New Music!

I'm running out of time to finish, What began so long ago, The best I can do is speak my truth, As Spirit has it under control. ☉Get ready for some surprises this weekend as the Sun conjuncts Uranus and opposes Black Moon Lilith! In Taurus, this can have to do with money, food, clothing, shelter, sex, and even survival. Why, you might ask? Because Uranus is the great awakener, and whatever we have been asleep to within our unconscious psyche prevents us from fully awakening to our full potential. You may have light bulbs go off in your brain, have some turn on the lights for you, or you may turn on the lights for someone. One way or the other, it's wake-up time!In today's report, I discuss this as a short, quick act within a much larger play that spans from 2020 to 2030, with its midpoint this year. With Jupiter acting as a bridge between the past and future this month and Saturn closing his 28-year cycle, it's time to let go not only of illusions but so much more. How about limitation? How about negative judgements we're holding against ourselves? How about letting go of being a small, powerless victim?I feel that when many people think of the need to let go, it creates images of loss in their minds' eye. This is not necessarily the case, and the sad thing is that it leads many people to fear letting go and moving on. Sometimes we can even hold on tighter! Holding onto old identities, sources of security, or relationships that are not evolving not only prevents us from realizing our full potential but will ultimately lead to pain, ill health, depression, and alienation. So let's all try to be flexible, willing students of life, and go with the flow!Wheel in the Sky by Journey!  https://youtu.be/MxGEVIvSFeY?si=xtNpNCwfOUon5-neSo Much Love,Kaypacha☉

As a spirit human being, Of body, mind and soul, I am a feeling psychic being, Consisting of more than I'll ever know. ☉Join me on Safari! Only 1 spot left!  https://bit.ly/into-the-wild-2025I know you know what I'm talkin' 'bout! Come on babay, we all know that we are unfathomable beings, extensions of the Source of creation, and as such, infinite. We often forget this in our egoic, conscious, daily reality. I love how in the old Star Trek movies, whenever encountering an alien, the whole approach was one of "don't let them see you're afraid." The same is true of bears, mountain lions, even horses, etc. They can sense when you are afraid and will act accordingly (ie. do whatever they want with you).I've always felt and believed that the root of all fear is in the ego, as the ego is born and dies with the body and has the job of keeping the body alive. Hence, it has the fear of death, which is the root of all fears. If, especially now with the north node in Pisces until January, we can tap into our timeless, deathless soul, we stop all this mumbo jumbo that some person, government, system, or machine is going to control us. Ha ha! Let's do it!Now, this is not to say that there is no Saturn/external authority and that there are no borders, passports, or police. However, the grip that they have on our minds and feelings (and therefore decisions) is what I'm talking about. And let's not forget the fact of power in numbers! If everyone tapped into their infinite spiritual powers, there'd be some big changes in what goes on down here! So rather than waste time and energy in negative thinking/attitudes and nasty social comments, let's meditate and raise the bar!!!Only Love Can Break Your Heart: https://youtu.be/bSren6DQx1Y?si=NXdUsEFwiUig5Cyg The AI talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/tristan_harris_why_ai_is_our_ultimate_test_and_greatest_invitation?utm_source=rn-app-share&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=tedspreadSo Much Love,Kaypacha☉

That's it, I'm done, forget it all, It's time to take a break. Laugh it off, sing, dance, and play, Before it gets too late. ☉

Making the unconscious conscious,Is not always a pretty sight,As deep hidden parts of myself and others,Need to come into the light.☉

I will dare to dream again, Having both won and lost. Knowing now the cyclic nature of life, That there's a rise after every fall.☉

The biggest lessons I learn in life,Have to do with my heart.They teach me to care, be fair, and share,Very carefully from the start.☉Come join me in Africa! https://bit.ly/into-the-wild-2025With both the Sun conjunct Chiron (in Aries ruled Mars) and Venus conjunct Saturn, you can bet that the lessons these days (and there are many) center around our relationships. As I discuss in this report, this is an important week in that Venus, who has been going retrograde since March 1st, descending into the underworld, symbolizes a time for us to dig deep down without our hearts and "die" or strip away any and all false notions, beliefs, or realities.That she "bumps" into Saturn during her death/rebirth indicates an even greater purge, until finally, we have the Sabian symbol of "PURIFICATION" at the degree of her station! On the same day as the full Moon with the Sun conjunct Chiron (opposite the Moon)! We are getting the italics, the underline, and big, bold letters saying, "Put your relationships in order!" and that involves some deep reflection before the conversation.As I also mentioned in the report, this can have to do with your personal values and/or money. As we can see on the global stage with the tariffs and trade wars, the whole collective is going through an analysis of what it is needing, wanting, making, and trading and needing to ask the question, "Is it worth it?"I believe this weekend can be a beautiful time of sharing sensitive moments, conversation, and caring. With sympathy for ourselves and each other, we can create safe spaces for opening our hearts, sharing our needs and fears, and, with some grace, find a deeper spiritual connection with those we love.It's time to raise the bar on our relationships, which means opening up and going deeper with those who care and of the same heartmind and leaving behind those who don't get us anymore, despite how old or deep the relationship was/is. Either way, we can be experiencing a time of emptiness and sorrow, either for what we have done or not done, or what we are being called to let go of in order to move on. Just remember there's no hurry, as class isn't over until the last breath."Well the first days are the hardest days don't you worry anymore. Cuz when life looks like easy street there is danger at your door. Think this through with me, let me know your mind, wo ho what I want to know is are you kind."This week's song is Uncle John's Band!  https://youtu.be/Qj8Q3o2J4A4?si=uBZYiQlyPeX3R3u0So Much Love,Kaypacha☉

Before I go on my next adventure, I need to learn from my past, So I don't forget to bring all I need, And release what I don't at last.☉

Life is teaching me how to dance,In a whole new different way, I need to listen and go step by step, Knowing I'll get it one day. ☉

The fear of absolute helplessness, Is frightening beyond belief, Resigning myself to the will of God, Is all I can do for relief. ☉Join me & Jessica in HAWAII for the Solstice! A few spots left! https://bit.ly/hawaii-2025Happy Equinox with a Saturn, North Node, Neptune, Sun, Venus, and Mercury stellium spanning the cusp of Pisces and Aries! A great big WOW setting the tone for the year ahead with both Mercury and Venus retrograde. As you can see at the end of the video, Mercury and Venus are in what is called an "inferior" conjunction to the Sun (in between the Earth and the Sun as opposed to being on the far side of the Sun). The closer they are, the more of a role they play in the unfolding of consciousness. The interpretation is that this is a time, and this will be a year of rebellious speech, some radical, self-centered ideas, filled with fiery passion. The intention is to individuate and break free from the mass media or conventional norms, values, and thinking for all of us, as individuals, to have the right to speak our truth, hold our own values, and express our unique (maybe crazy?) selves! The nice thing is the trine up to the Moon in fiery Sag to doubly emphasize the desire for freedom!The challenges will come in the arena of feelings and emotions with Mars sesquiquadrate the Moon and square Chiron. Mercury in Aries is definitely straightforward (or blunt), and, backed up with a passionate, emotional, and subjective Mars in Cancer there can be some "Get outa my yard!" kinda rhetoric going on as folks (governments) may get possessive over their territory. This week's report is more personal than social as I discuss the feeling of helplessness (overwhelm) and the remedy of resignation (surrender) to deal with it. We can be at that point this week and this year, where we have done all we can and are now simply dealing with the results of past thoughts and deeds, the will of others, and God (or whatever you call divine intelligence/Creator/Source). It can be a wild ride if our deepest desire and attachment is to the ultimate truth (and not much else LOL!). Neptune in the last degree of Aries combined with La Luna waning after that blood Moon Lunar Eclipse(!!!) points to this week as a time of accepting ourselves, our lives, our relationships, our communities, and our world as it is. Trying to control, manipulate, change, steer, or, in other ways, modify the situation to meet our own perceived needs could prove futile. This is a good week to "go with the flow," or simply exhaust yourself trying to fight it to no avail.Take the Long and Winding Road!  https://youtu.be/yDP3dwpoVTo?si=P2fRKk8BqQHmjOopSo Much Love,Kaypacha☉

Like a gardener digging a hole,In order to plant a tree, I must first work and face the hole, Before knowing what will ber.☉This south node total lunar eclipse, as powerful as it is, is made even more intense by the Sun, Saturn, Neptune, north node stellium happening in Pisces, soon to be revisited by Venus and Mercury. There are a couple of major interpretations to note: first, this eclipse will be followed by a north node solar eclipse on the 29th in Aries! By itself, this indicates this full Moon as a time of reviewing, reflecting, feeling, and releasing the old to prepare for the new cycle beginning in two weeks.The fact that this is a south node eclipse in Virgo with the solar eclipse coming in Aries puts another layer onto the interpretation. This is not just another "letting go" exercise, this is a DEEP CLEANING. Virgo is a sign of initiation, the last "personal" sign that prepares us for relationship with someone/something outside ourselves. The natural fear is one of losing ourselves to the other. Yet, deep down, our soul knows what we need, and the farther we veer from its truth, the more intense the crisis that can be experienced at this time. Most often it will be health or work, but can manifest in other physical/earth realms too.The south node transiting Virgo from January of this year through July of 2026 will be bringing up and putting on the table everything that is inhibiting our soul growth. The point is to DIG deep down below the surface of the event/crisis to find the root. These roots lie deep in our emotional (and physical) attachments that are old and strong and form the basis of our identity, security, predictability, and comfort. Very often, we simply don't know on an ego level what's best for us, but our unconscious soul does! Someone, a work position, our physical health, our daily habits have provided us with a sense of self, purpose, and security for perhaps a long time, so much so that we thought it/they might be permanent (could even apply to the US government lol). Now the universe is telling us nothing is permanent, that we are constantly growing and changing, and the harder/longer we hold on, the more difficult growth becomes.So, this week, a beautiful way to celebrate this life change is through a GRATITUDE CEREMONY. Honor and appreciate everything that has gotten you to where you are now. This acknowledgment can/will bring up all the feelings that need to be felt, shared, and released with the past so there are no lingering doubts, suppressed feelings/fears, or subconscious victim/"this is happening to me rather than for me or by me" (my unconscious soul). Taking responsibility for having created this reality (consciously or unconsciously) is humbling and can be full of sorrow, but acknowledging it and calling upon Spirit for help/guidance is the lesson. The full Moon is a time of great illumination, and this eclipse multiplies it to the power of 10! The deeper you dive into your body/feelings, the more revelation, illumination, and gold you will find. Digging, analyzing, sorting, weeding, researching, and investigating the deepest recesses of your psyche are favored during this time! Join with other mirrors to your soul, share these feelings and more will come, and you will be enlightened, open, and ready to take the most advantage of the coming solar eclipse as a whole new beginning! Dimash captures the feeling of exhaustion spectacularly!  https://youtu.be/lFsB5HVnmSA?si=bRKAzNXRVlLGakOd So Much Love,Kaypacha

This is a year unlike any other, With everything shifting around. Like the eye of a storm I can stay still, And observe as it all goes down.☉Ha, let's see if you can! You may be tempted to tell somebody to go jump in the lake (or river in this case), but that may be better advice for yourself! Venus and Mercury, both in the masculine sign of Aries, are square by sign to Mars in the feminine sign of Cancer. The two Sabian symbols for the upcoming first quarter square Moon in Gemini are totally relevant, aren't they?While Mercury conjunct Venus is interpreted as pleasant conversations, Mars in Cancer with the Sun coming up to Saturn may turn some of these conversations upside down. The main point, I believe, is that this is all OK, totally par for the course. The fact is that we are coming to the end of our rope, so to speak, individually and collectively, and a lot of consequences are coming up, as well as the need for some very important decisions. This creates pressure. However, as the stars are telling us, it's not over yet, there is more digging to do, more feeling, more realization needed to make these big moves/changes. We've got five more weeks (at least) to swirl around in the waters of our emotional past to process and fully take our deepest needs into account before jumping to premature conclusions/actions.So, this is a time to scream, yell, shout, and let it out like the woman activist in the first Sabian symbol, but let's not stop there. Like a painter throwing colors onto a canvas, we can observe ourselves, once externalized, like the youth changing into a mature thinker (the second Sabian symbol). Once our fiery Aries desires are felt, brought out into the open, put on the table, and looked at, not only will we be relieved, but we may very well find solutions that would never have occurred to us had we not.Through all these stormy emotional days, let's remember where to find joy, excitement, and fun! Jupiter in Gemini curiously wants to learn, talk, write, journal, travel, and GET OUT AND ABOUT. Retrograde Venus wants to rebel against the conventional, old, "standard" forms of relationship and mix it up. Maybe everything is designed to kick us out of our old, well worn ruts (as comfortable and secure as they may be) into new, better expressions of ourselves. Let's experiment! Feel like you are "Spinning Wheels?" https://youtu.be/kK62tfoCmuQ?si=BrWm-e2ec1iS0tz1So Much Love,Kaypacha

Like a farmer tilling the soil,Getting rid of stones and weeds,I'm preparing for a new season,Thinking new thoughts and sowing new seeds.☉What a month we have ahead of us, folks! It's starting off with this new Moon in Pisces, Mars just gone direct, Venus now going retrograde, Mercury soon to follow, and then some very powerful eclipses. Hold onto your hats!What's it all about? Just like the mantra says and I elaborate on in this report, if we want to get a good result (crop), we want to prepare the ground carefully. Pisces and the 12th house have to do with what goes on "behind the scenes." Just think of ALL that goes backstage, a LOT! Especially just before the curtain rises. There is great anticipation, excitement, nervousness, and yes, sometimes some fear.Because the truth is that we simply don't know how the play (or season) is going to go. We have no idea what lies ahead so we have to prepare as best we can for everything and anything. Mercury, coming through past Saturn, is now conjunct with Neptune. We've thought about the practical realities, now let's let our imagination soar. Sure, things can fail, but oh wow, they can also blast off beyond our wildest expectations!The old adage is "Plan for the best and prepare for the worst."  Perhaps we have it the other way around now, with Saturn in mid-Pisces and Neptune in its last degrees. We've prepared for the worst, so now let's plan for the best! Venus and Mercury both to retrograde back to Neptune in Pisces from Aries say to each other, "Whoa, wait a minute, let's go back and get some more dreams and love, let go of some more stuff and then head out on our journey this year."We've got six weeks of Venus (Inanna) descending into the underworld and rising in the east as our warrior goddess. Six weeks of going down and in, humbly bowing down, finding our true spiritual core, and returning from the depths having let go of old ways, relationships, habits, identities, and lives in order to be re-birthed naked into a whole new Self.We know this is no overnight, easy process. This week in particular, as Mars picks up some speed going forward through the waters of Cancer, we may become more aware of some unmet, unspoken, un-acted upon desires that stir us up and call us out. It's time to be true to ourselves, honor our needs, and take our inner child with us this time. No leaving ourselves behind like we did before in our past endeavors. Maybe we need to make some more room in the car for our little one?

While preparing for final examinations,Without knowing what lies beyond,I'm amazed at all I have grown through,And need to process so as to move on.☉What a time is this? SLOW, that's what. Time can speed up or slow down, and while there are so many things happening in the world, Spirit has now put us in an "eddy" on the river of life where we take a time out and look at our lives in slow motion. Just like in a sports game or movie, it's now possible to go back, slow it down, zoom in, look from another angle, and carefully examine exactly what happened. Jupiter, the great benefactor, just beginning to go direct again, is held up at the stoplight of a square to Saturn who doesn't want expansion until after June when a few more things are sorted out. This can feel excruciating for us fast-paced westerners. Coupled with Mars swimming (slowly) through the waters of Cancer and both Mercury and Venus preparing to go retrograde next month, we may feel like we are just barely treading water if not sinking.What may need clarifying is that the "final examinations" mentioned in the mantra really refer to INNER EXAMINATIONS. While some of us may project our need for self-examination out onto others and be scrutinized, ideally, we take this time and go inward (Mercury trine Mars in Cancer) and review, I would say, the last 33 years if you really want to be thorough. While this may be hard, time consuming, and emotionally draining/challenging, the results can be FANTASTIC! Think of how you feel after a colon, liver, kidney, and blood cleanse. This thorough internal examination can bring up all the toxic memories, emotions, actions, and consequences that, once cleared, will help your engine roar!While I hate to get political, the DOGE is a pretty perfect example of what can be happening on a personal, internal level occurring on a governmental level. We can each make our own Department of Self (instead of Government) Efficiency. It can be experienced as "trimming the fat" or a pairing down, but we will be lean, clean machines (just a metaphor, we know we're not machines!) by the end of this and glad we did it. So rather than go grudgingly under the microscope, let's look at it like a nice warm shower, take our time, scrub off all the old dirt, and come out shining!This week's song is, you guessed it, "It's All Over!"  https://youtu.be/LviBwdfLn2Q?si=rFaEX4LEgCUkkmMJSo Much Love,Kaypacha

I'm in a big transition,From an old to a brand new me.Though it's confusing, uncertain and scary,It's important that I wait and see.☉Well, the Leo Full Moon party is over today! Now, while she's waning through Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio, we can welcome the Sun and Mercury into Pisces. I think it is an interesting coincidence that the Gregorian (patriarchal) calendar ends the year and begins the next with Capricorn except that I don't believe in coincidences, LOL! The hierarchical, pyramidal socio-political, and religious structures, particularly of Western civilization with its focus on materialism (earth), capitalism, and competition (cardinal earth), are supported by such a calendar. However, if we look at the seasons of the northern hemisphere, where astrology has its roots, Pisces is the end of the winter season, with Aries bringing in the new year at the Spring equinox. This reflects the spiritual nature of this time when long dormant seeds just begin to awaken as the Sun warms the soil. As I discuss in today's report, we have not only the Sun and Mercury transiting into Pisces but the Moon's north node, Saturn, and Neptune! It's a big closing period of releasing the past in preparation for a new cycle. The Moon's node is just beginning a new 18.6-year cycle, while Saturn is closing a 28-year-old identity (who have you been for the last 28 years, and are you ready to shed it?), and Neptune is closing a 165-year cycle wherein collective unconscious is purging itself of old paradigms. A metaphor that came to me about this time period (the next couple of months) is the memory that I have of a "previous life" when I worked for Virtual Microsystems in Silicon Valley. At the end of the year, the whole company would close for a week or two while we did INVENTORY. Yup, we'd count every resistor, capacitor, PC (printed circuit) board, and even foam shipping carton to see whether or not everything was accounted for. During this time of inventory (reflection) no outward sales or activity took place. The deep internal examination sometimes led to accountability issues if there was too much or too little stock. Did someone make a mistake? Report too many sales or too few? Lie, cheat, steal? Break something, write down the wrong number, order the wrong parts? Sometimes, taking inventory can lead to deep self-examination where we find ourselves lacking, lost, or missing "parts of ourselves." Looking back, we may find that we're repeating patterns due to "not getting it," or we're just unable to figure certain things out in our lives and move forward. Alternatively, we may have some excess inventory! We are more or have more than we thought, and we underestimate or undersell ourselves. One way or the other, this process of Piscean self-examination, assisted by retrograde Mars in Cancer (home, domestic, and emotional life) and next month by Venus and Mercury retrograding back into Pisces until April, is a great time for learning, growing, and changing. Rather than remain distracted by the pull of external society and its demands, let's take some time out "in limbo," as the more we square everything away now, the better our future will be!Join the Neville Brothers (and Jimmy Cliff) sitting in limbo:  https://youtu.be/xP0GhX9mZuM?si=DO44jtYOcedVqNVTSo Much Love,Kaypacha

My ego is like AI,  Getting more powerful everyday,  It's up to me as a soul-spirit being,  To keep it from going astray. ☉ This is a week that will be extremely "good," or extremely "bad," with sudden, perhaps shocking communications that the cosmos/life is bringing to wake us up to our unconscious patterns. As I discuss in today's report and as described in the Sabian symbol for today's first quarter square Moon, these communications will serve to make us more aware of, use, direct, and control our ego will forces more consciously. Uranus/Aquarius is not known for his/its gentleness or subtlety. The best thing we can do is use astrology and our charts to see where and how these energies are working for us so as not to be too surprised or overwhelmed. If we are proactive enough and sincerely ask ourselves if we are using our power appropriately for the good of all concerned or if self-interest and opportunism has been making our decisions, we can make changes before changes are forced on us from external, projected powers that be. Looking at it from a positive standpoint, this is a week of "raising the bar" in all our relationships, whether intimate and personal or friendship/working. This Sun/Mercury conjunction is happening in Aquarius which is all about the future, plans, visions, and enterprises. Projects can move along faster and smoother when everything is on the table, and transparency reigns, making greater cooperation possible and leading to better outcomes. Rather than following in the footsteps of so many nations fostering self-interest and isolationist policies that create competition and make life harder for everyone, let's co-create ways to support each other and make our lives easier! I finally decided this week's song is "You Shouldn't Have Took More Than You Gave (we wouldn't be in this mess today)!!!"  https://youtu.be/qthR7ezI9bA?si=Aw4AQB5ZP0DrRvN0 So Much Love, Kaypacha

There is a magical, mysterious, spiritual world,  Within the one I know. I hereby choose to open my heart, To the wonder and awe of it all.☉ As discussed in today's report, this new Moon in Aquarius, trine Jupiter and accompanied with a Venus, Neptune, north node conjunction signifies the possibility of consciously attaining new levels of awareness, letting go of past conditioning that has created misunderstanding, and owning our full creative power. This is not “achieved” through external action, force, or assertion but rather “experienced” within (= imperienced). When we relax and empty/open ourselves to the point of complete inner peace, there is another world within, often referred to as nirvana. When enough brothers and sisters let go of the “battle” to impose themselves on the outer world and realize that the outer world is but a reflected projection of the inner, we will truly begin to create a new paradigm starting with ourselves. Let's do it! This week's song is (of course) The Magical Mystery Tour! https://youtu.be/l8WMGBuNaus?si=cLsdI149p5Qlu9iK Just remember it's so much taking away as lighting the way within. So Much Love, Kaypacha ☉

I will let go of what I can't control,  And focus on what I can.  I have so many ideas, visions and dreams,  It's time to make a plan. ☉

I will strive to share with the world All the beauty I feel inside. Not avoiding, escaping, or denying my pain, But letting it teach me how to fly. ☉ I'll be in the jungle without internet for a while, so this mantra and Pele Report is for two weeks (the first I've missed since 2011!). The north node of the Moon moving into Pisces Saturday will be conjunct Neptune, the ruler of Pisces until April, so the themes I address in today's report will be living in the collective until then at least. I say at least because Saturn will also be approaching Neptune along with Venus, so Piscean themes will dominate the celestial landscape really for the rest of the year. Hold onto your hats! While I'm away, I'm excited to share that my wise sister Bella, who I consider an amazing astrologer, Human Design wizard, and Gene Key expert, will be sharing about both of those in relation to astrology this Sunday, the 12th, and Sunday, the 26th. Mark your calendar and get ready for further insights into your psyche and soul with my soul sister Bella.

Celebrate the good times! https://youtu.be/3GwjfUFyY6M?si=IfO3tIVYxl0rjBt- The second one is for those who are feeling deeply into their wounds around love and feeling disillusioned with it.

I am a keeper,  Of the New Earth flame,  Standing in truth and holding space,  In a world being swept with change.☉

It's time for a serious, sober review, Of where I've been and what I've done, Some concentration and contemplation, To prepare for what is to come.  ☉ There's never a dull moment these days with the technology we have created. It, therefore, becomes more important for us to consciously unplug and make space for stillness, contemplation, and rejuvenation. Otherwise, we can blunder along with the demands of the moment until we find ourselves carried away on the river of life completely out of control and lost as to our purpose. Hence, the cosmos and mother nature have come to the rescue with a nice, slow-down aspect, Jupiter squaring Saturn while the Capricorn Sun squares the Moon's nodes. There is great wisdom in the stars, and while you can look to where these are aspecting your natal chart, you can also gain some footing just knowing that the energy of the times (for everyone) are pointing to "downtime."  Rather than seeing it as a bummer and getting dragged down, bored, or depressed that things aren't moving as fast as you would like, it's pretty purposeful if viewed from a higher perspective. When you watch a replay or a movie in slow motion, you notice so much more than watching it at regular speed! There's a lot going on that we might miss, so check out those details and you'll be better informed and empowered when we get back up to speed! Happy Holidays! ✨ Join me this Sunday on Zoom!

My life is under construction,  There are detours here and there,  But as all I want is to know what's true,  I'm fine as it's everywhere!  ☉

I will take the stage to sing or dance,  Give a speech or sound the call,  Not out of need, ego, or greed,  But to simply lift the spirits of all. ☉ Take advantage of Mars in Leo before he goes back into the womb of Cancer. Yup, Mars stations retrograde today and will be going back to 17 degrees of Cancer before charging forward again on February 24. During that time, he'll be opposing Venus, Pluto, the Sun, Mercury, and more, but for now, just Venus and Pluto. It is a great time for digging down into the depths of your soul to feel what you're really looking for in a relationship. This is an especially good time for that because Venus is not only conjunct Pluto but also leaving Capricorn for Aquarius. In Aquarius for the next month or so, our feminine nature wants to raise the bar for our relationships, bring awareness, lightness, change (maybe a little kink), and experimentation. We're looking for high consciousness in our partnerships now and will want to avoid settling for the same old run of the mill routines. With the Sun/Mercury conjunction opposing Jupiter, it's a time of high energy, expansion, and some optimism. Hence, this week's mantra encourages us to get out of the doldrums, brighten up our attitudes, and open ourselves to the beauty within and without us. Let's remember that we see what we're looking for, and Sag encourages us to look up! The Piano Man by Billy Joel (he's not having a great time himself, but he's offering some comfort to others): https://youtu.be/gxEPV4kolz0?si=BwMmITe0rVVNXVh0 So Much Love, Kaypacha ☉

If my life is not expanding,  I need to question why,  What do I fear or need to do,  So I can spread my wings and fly. ☉

There exists in many traditions,  The dark night of the soul.  A deathly, empty, void within,  Out of which true love may grow.☉

I do not exist alone,  But also have a social role,  So when I work to empower myself,  I empower and evolve the whole ☉

The world is changing in so many ways,  What's coming I just don't know.  The best thing I can do right now,  Is plant seeds that I want to grow.  ☉ It's looking like a pretty sobering week ahead with the end of illusions (Venus square Neptune) and some necessary critical thinking (Mercury square Saturn). However, I believe that the cosmos (life) is giving us exactly what we need when we need it. Crazy times call for some powerful inner work that will have beneficial results in the end.  I mean, we've got Mercury, Venus, and Mars in (on) fire signs! With the Sun in Scorpio bringing up some fixed determination and these guys ready to fire it up, we've got what it takes to transform challenges into successes. Like I say in the mantra and the report, let's sow some seeds, make the connections, and lay the groundwork for exciting new creations. Take the road less traveled and bring some friends along! Into the Great Wide Open! (Eddie started out alright, we just have to be more careful where we take it)  https://youtu.be/xqmFxgEGKH0?si=vu7W0uLGs0a5RjWv  So Much Love, Kaypacha ☉

I go out and expand as far as I can,  Before it's time to come in.  If I don't know my own limitations,  I'll hurt or be hurt again. ☉ What an intense week! Happy Halloween, Day of the Dead, and All Souls Day on top of elections. Whew! It's really hitting the fan this week with three major oppositions that have to do with polarizing energy, and the amount of energy in the air is almost palpable, isn't it? The keyword for this Scorpio new Moon Friday is INTENSE.  Let's keep in mind that the soul creates intensity (as in intense situations) to force up and out into the open, deep, powerful energies of transformation. So, while it is uncomfortable, it's also full of tremendous opportunity. If we go into the discomfort instead of running from it, there are riches to be found! You may find that you are stronger, brighter, and more resourceful (the list goes on) than you thought, and the only way to discover it is through some intense emergency-type situation.  However, another truth is that there is no going back. Once you've discovered these aspects of yourself through intense interactions with others or life situations, you are permanently transformed into a different person. This is the resurrection that follows the death. It's a growth process nature uses in all her manifestations, from trees losing their leaves to snakes shedding their skins to us thinking it's all over only to find ourselves reborn. Hang in there!  All You Need is Love!  ⁠https://youtu.be/16IQt0bEqZI?si=L_XM2-q1-Z5UhLA7⁠ So Much Love, Kaypacha

Sometimes it's hard to let go of dreams,  And what I thought life would be.  But the more I deepen my spirit practice,  I see this is best for me. ☉ "This" as in "the current time/space/people and events that are happening in your life that is. I recall the old saying, "You don't know what's good for you," and I never believed it, but the more life experience I gain, the more I see that sometimes, when we're not being mindful, we don't! Sometimes, we're just asleep at the wheel and going along with what others need/want or what we've been told we need/want until there comes a time (like now with Mars in Cancer, etc.) when it doesn't work and we're not happy. When this happens, we will feel hurt, let down, lost, miserable, and sad. That is until we sit still, breathe, close our eyes and focus on our third eye, go into deep meditation and/or chanting, and listen inwardly to the calling of our soul. We need to still the voices running rampant in our head, the push and pull of others and their expectations, the guilt and/or shame that have pushed us to make decisions not in alignment with our truth, and ask Great Spirit what the best pathway forward is. When we do this and align ourselves with our inner guidance, it brings a calm sense within. We feel centered and can relax, open our hearts to what is around us, and enjoy the moment we are experiencing without fears and doubts clogging our minds and arteries. The Mercury/Neptune/Jupiter Yod is calling us to this, the Sun in Scorpio with Venus in Sag squaring Saturn in Pisces is calling us to this, and Mars trine Neptune in Pisces is calling us to this also. It's all over the place! So the next time things don't go your way, rather than fuss about it, talk to Spirit and find out why! I love the lyrics of this week's song "Rise" by Eddie Vedder: "I'm gonna rise up and find my direction magnetically, turning mistakes into gold..."

I am a spirit being,  Now incarnated in 3D.  In order to create I need to relate,  Without losing what it means to be me.  ☉ This upcoming full Moon in Aries completes this month-long eclipse season, which has been highlighting the need for us as individuals (and nations) to look at our relationships and let go of old patterns, expectations, and codependent behaviors in order to blossom as individuals. In some ways, it is the culmination of the year and one-half transit of the north node through Aries, which will end in January. Now is the time to own our truth, stand in our truth, speak our truth, and walk our talk. The challenge is to do this IN relationship without destroying them, avoiding them, giving up on them, or trying to control them. It's like tightrope walking where we need to stay perfectly centered in ourselves (or fall a long way), and if practiced, it can result in profound, deep connection as we support the truth of the other and our truth is supported. The patience and ability to listen, forgive, and accept the other as they are comes from tapping into our highest spirit self. Letting go of judgement and fear takes courage born out of "spirit knowing." Let's look to the Spirit of the law more than the letter of the law, the needs, feelings, and intentions that lead us and our beloved more than the 3D, clumsy, and often poorly thought out strategies we humans use. Let's raise the bar! This week's song? "Living in the Material World!" by George Harrison  https://youtu.be/31nvQDSzxrU?si=ayJqa1jID9_LHefx  Join me for a Transformative Retreat in the Amazon Jungle

Sometimes I find it hard to believe, That a way forward will be shown. But it's not the path so much as how I walk it, That will ultimately bring me home. ☉ Wow, what a long, strange trip it's been, is what the Grateful Dead would say (the song Truckin')! And it shows no sign of getting any less strange this week or in the days ahead. It's a big week with many aspects I have woven into a synthesized report. However, there is always more to say.   Let's start with Mercury moving from airy Libra (tactful, diplomatic, nonviolent communication) into the deep waters of Scorpio. This is a shift from a month of objective, possibly compromising, and cooperative communication (Libra) to gut-based, passionate, and intense communication. For the next month, Mercury will consciously bring us down into the depths of ourselves through our most intimate relationships, allowing us to transform them and ourselves through them. I also wanted to spend more time on the Sun's opposition to Chiron. Back on April 8th, the conjunction sowed the seed potential of finding the power within ourselves to speak and assert our deepest needs and fears. To stand courageously for ourselves, our rights, and our freedom to BE. Now, at the opposition, it's time for that seed that has been developing and building energy within to come out, spread its leaves, and open its blossoms. May you bloom brightly! This week's song is “Can't Find My Way Home” by Eric Clapton and Blind Faith! https://youtu.be/8L82II1lNjo?si=K8gZCrKWCFz70yw1 And for something a little lighter, how about “On the Road to Shambala” by Three Dog Night  https://youtu.be/xnyh6i9NvmE?si=WYJNhm1jDV56vAU7 Join me for a Transformative Retreat in the Amazon Jungle

Having the difficult conversation, Is uncomfortable at its best. But it is worth the grief if we release, And let go of the past at last. ☉ Weigh anchor! Yup! Time to leave port and set sail! This is a new Moon solar eclipse that is saying goodbye to the past (south Moon's node), the buried resentments, anger, and frustration (Black Moon Lilith), and making way for clearer communication and understanding that will inevitably lead to deeper, richer, and more fulfilling relationships. That is if we do the work, dig, and don't leave the buried “treasure” buried! I just love the Sabian symbol for Jupiter stationing to go retrograde at the same degree from 9/25 - 10/23. It speaks of music, dancing, and natural living. These are the keys! When in doubt, fear, or sadness, the great earth mother and sky father are always there to hold, support, renew, and enliven us. As sons and daughters of these two we are human, and as humans we are sensitive, frail, wild, and impulsive. These times remind us to embrace our humanity, not be ashamed, hide and bury it, but let it out so we can move on to dance! Blow off some steam as you rev your engines and move some energy!

I feel a surge of primal energy,  Welling up from deep within.  If I don't use it consciously,  It could well be my end. ☉

I have been so conditioned,  That I don't know what to believe,  So I need to listen and feel inwardly,  As only my truth will set me free. ☉

I will keep walking the path of healing,  Understanding more everyday,  And give back to life, helping those in strife,  To find a better way.  ☉

My thoughts are like snacks and meals,  That I prepare to feed my soul.  They can make me healthy, wealthy and wise,  Or sick and tired and cold.  ☉

I need to learn to regulate,  My nerves and words and thoughts,  So I don't blow a circuit,  Or tie myself in knots.☉

When I incarnate from the Spirit world, Into time and space, There is separation and limitation, That hold me and show me my place. ☉

As I continue to grow and expand,  There are limitations I can no longer stand.  It hurts to move on and it hurts to remain,  But I can no longer with this ball and chain.  ☉

It's easy to get frustrated, As there is so much going on, But with focused attention and patience galore, I know I will get it all done.☉ Let's do astrology together in Costa Rica & Greece! https://bit.ly/kaypacha-events Whether you are getting overwhelmed or you want to overwhelm the world (explained in the report), the feeling of overwhelm is in the air as Mars and Jupiter come together! It is both an exciting time of changing scenes and nerve-racking, like a juggler trying to juggle too many balls.    Fortunately, we have a beautiful Mercury/Venus conjunction in Virgo to help ground this wild, expansive energy (if we can focus enough) into rock-solid new creations. Yes, it will take focused work (Virgo), patience (Saturn square), and also tenacity (forgot that in the mantra). So don't let stops and blocks make you question or doubt. It's just a test of your perseverance. Actually, if we think about it, blocks, stops, hindrances, and obstacles can lead to alternative thinking and possible new discoveries that you would not have considered if things just went your way. Take this time as an opportunity to actively invent, reinvent, and upgrade your life through inspiration and imagination rather than as punishment. You'll be glad you did! This week's song is: https://youtu.be/Jl5vi9ir49g?si=nXXw83XksE_TbMG7 So Much Love, Kaypacha ☉

Like a performer standing backstage, As the show is about to begin, I transform my fear into energy, To create more power within. ☉

If I really want to evolve, I not only need to dissolve, The walls surrounding my heart, But bridge back together what is now torn apart. ☉

After the storm there's a lot of debris, That needs to be cleared away. Before I begin to recreate, A place for me to stay. ☉

It's time for me to set myself free,  In what I say and do.  Not fear my fire but express my desire,  And make my dreams come true. ☉ Are you ready for Mars to charge into Uranus? Yikes! We can call this the train wreck week, LOL! The future is not upon us, it is in us. As emissaries of the future, our mission is to envision, invent, and create the future. Having it done for us or to us is the result of entropy, fear, and unconsciousness. Well, that is what Uranus is all about, and this week, along with Mars, he'll wake us up to our unconscious needs and desires whether they are comfortable (Taurus) or not.  This week, through non-attached observation, we can learn much about ourselves. How much do I stretch the envelope? What exactly is holding me back? Why? Do I want my past to limit my future? How can I best express and create without shocking or traumatizing others? What environment and relationships best meet my needs for individuation and authentic, full self-expression? The answers to these questions can open doors of perception that lead to choices and decisions that empower us rather than diminish our power, joy, and excitement for life. The future is wide open (despite what MSM says), and we are here to make it happen starting NOW. Go forward with love, peace, and humor to throw out what is in the way of you being YOU. Blessings! This week's song is Light My Fire: https://youtu.be/edq9egDwPQI?si=0pYUTjp-nq_uPzNA  John Wolfstone's article is here: https://medium.com/@JohnWolfstone/why-loving-many-is-a-political-revolution-238210f16d4c  ❤️‍

It's easier to look without, Than it is to see within,  So rather than blame, avoid, or deny, I will do well to listen again.☉ Another thing about Lilith that I didn't go into but feel is important is that she is what I call a CHAMPION! She stirs us from deep down inside to make us aware of our hidden longings and nature. Wherever she falls in your chart, you may have trouble, BUT, through that trouble, you realize the importance of that aspect of life. And that realization can catapult you to champion the cause! The other word that didn't come to me in the report was that there is both "form" and "function." Everything serves a function or wouldn't exist (even mosquitos, lol). The form things take certainly has something to do with the function, but sometimes, we can miss the function if we're not attracted to the form (outer appearance). So let's be watchful that we don't pass up the real gems just because they weren't polished!

Healing is a process, That requires going within, Feeling my pain and embracing myself, Before re-emerging again. ☉ This is a good week for healing. Healing the past, our relationships, our bodies, our souls, you name it. Both Saturn and Neptune are pausing, holding still, opening space for the spirit beings of Pisces to descend into this dense 3D realm and lift us on high! Take some time off, relax, let go, and settle into the core of your being. You'll be glad you did!  It's been a real healing journey just trying to find a song for this week! There is so much beautiful music in this world, isn't there? Let me know your favorites in the comments section. For now, I will suggest this "Music of Angels and Archangels"  https://www.youtube.com/live/iXkXit4iwkM?si=thnyNTi9OPmnYdY3 So Much Love, Kaypacha ☉

If I want to be miserable, I can think about everything that's wrong, And if I want to improve my day, I can dance and sing a song. ☉ Let's welcome in the Solstice full Moon in Capricorn! Sun joining Venus/Mercury in Cancer says it's all about what's going inside that counts. Moon in Capricorn says it's all about bringing order, structure, and commitment to the outside. Do we change the world or change ourselves? Are we here to serve others or grow and evolve within? The answer is, BOTH!  Gotta balance the outside with inside, the profession and the career, helping others with helping ourselves. The trouble is that our cultural conditioning has been and is lopsidedly focused on profession, giving to others, going to work, and doing what we're told by external authorities that want us to PRODUCE. Time to take a step back and see just how balanced you are and whether you are giving your life away or not. Are you spending as much time with yourself as you are with everybody else? Are you as committed to yourself as you are to the boss, family, or beloved? Are you as aware of your feelings as you are of your thoughts? If not, then expect some domestic strife to arise and show you where you are over or underdoing it. If you're working too hard to the exclusion of a personal life, you'll have family, domestic, and emotional problems. If you're too into yourself, your feelings, security needs, and emotions, you'll have a professional crisis to get your attention. The more balanced with personal and professional, the fewer personal or professional problems we'll have! Check it out - it's true! 

I don't need to change the world,  As much as open my heart. And letting go of my need to be right,  Is a very good place to start. ☉ Well, there are a couple of things to add to this week's Pele Report. The first is that Mercury is moving faster than I believe I have ever seen! He entered Gemini on June 4th and pops into Cancer on June 18th. That's only two weeks!! This reflects a time when we may be a little high spirited, things may be happening so fast we can't keep up, or we can be making swift progress bringing our plans into fruition.  The big thing is that having both Mercury and Venus square Neptune before entering Cancer indicates the end of illusions prior to a "return to innocence." There may be disappointment around our dreams not coming to fruition (or completely falling apart) that humbles us and wakes up that inner child within. Just hang in there with your feelings, know they are informing you of your true needs so you can better meet them in the future and live a happier life! Blessings!
