Living Astrology With Janet Hickox

While October appears calm in terms of transits, beneath the surface, a deeper theme is unfolding, one that involves shifting Fear into Wisdom. October opens under the influence of the Spleen Center in Human Design, where the Sun highlights the gates of fear and intuition. This is not a month to project ahead or dwell in the past — it's a month that demands presence. The Full Supermoon in Aries early in the month intensifies this theme, pulling fears, shadows, and hidden truths into the light. WithMercury and Mars in Scorpio at the apex of a Yod, sharp conversations and bold choices become unavoidable. The discomfort you feel is not a mistake — it's a guide, pointing you toward growth and clarity.Tam and I break it all down for you in this podcast.

This weekend marks a powerful shift as the Sun moves into Gate 18 – Realignment in the Spleen Center, while the Earth grounds us in Gate 17 – Anticipation (Opinions). Together, these energies invite us to reevaluate old patterns, heal what no longer serves us, and bring fresh clarity to our perception of the world.We'll also explore the Gene Keys journey from Judgment to Integrity, and how opinions can transform into visionary insight. And with Jupiter now in Gate 62 – Preparation and Saturn returning to Gate 36 – Exploration, the cosmic stage is set for growth, responsibility, and bold new beginnings.Join me as we dive into the astrology, Human Design, and Gene Keys for the weekend ahead. Grab your favorite cup of coffee or tea, and let's chat about what's happening in the sky above. ☕✨

The Spleen Center in Human Design is the oldest awareness center, home to instinct, intuition, and survival. As the Sun begins its annual journey through the Spleen, let's explore what this center teaches us about health, fear, and the quiet whisper of intuition. Learn the difference between defined and undefined Spleens, how fear gates transform into gifts, and why trusting the present moment is key to living your design.

Sunday brings a New Moon Solar Eclipse at 29° Virgo—a powerful degree signaling endings and beginnings. This isn't just any eclipse: three Yods (the “Finger of God” aspect) converge, pointing toward Venus, Mars, and the Saturn-Neptune bridge. Each asks us to choose love, compassion, and spiritual embodiment over discord.In Human Design, the Sun enters Gate 46 – Embodiment (The Love of the Body) while the Earth grounds us in Gate 25 – Spirit (Universal Love). Together, these gates open a field of love, presence, and alignment with divine order.This is a partial eclipse, meaning the Sun's light isn't fully obscured—reminding us that even in moments of shadow, clarity and love are available.✨ In this broadcast, we'll explore:The meaning of a 29° Virgo eclipse at the threshold of change.The role of Venus, Mars, and Saturn-Neptune in the three Yods.How the Human Design gates 46 & 25 call us to embody love and spirit.Why this eclipse is less about fear and more about choosing love in times of tension.Join me for this deep dive into a spectacular eclipse that asks: Will you heed the call of love?

This week's skies are alive with movement! The Sun in Gate 6 – Impact and the Earth in Gate 36 – Exploration set the stage for bold new experiences. Venus in Leo sextiles Mars in Libra, Mercury in Virgo opposes Saturn in Pisces, and then the week accelerates with Jupiter entering Gate 62 – Preparation, Mercury shifting into Libra, and Venus moving into Virgo.These inner planet movements act like cosmic signposts, nudging you toward change, new choices, and deeper awareness.

The cosmos is guiding us from uncertainty to insight this weekend. On Friday, Uranus stations retrograde in Gemini, shaking up patterns and sparking breakthroughs where we least expect them.

This week begins with a shift in the cosmic tempo. Saturn retrogrades back into Pisces on September 1, inviting us to revisit unfinished lessons from 2023–2024. It's a call to tie up loose ends, close karmic loops, and ground our spiritual insights into practical form before Saturn moves fully into Aries again in 2026.At the same time, the Sun and Earth are in Human Design Gates 40 (Restoration) and 37 (Peace), setting the tone for the new week.

It's a quiet weekend in the skies — the perfect pause before September's whirlwind begins.

The Moon moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius, shifting the emotional tone from deep reflection to expansive curiosity. Join me as we explore how to align with this weekend's gentle energies and prepare for the transformative month ahead.

Theme of the Month: Sacred Reform – Turning Pressure into PurposeSeptember is a month of thresholds and turning points. With two eclipses activating the Virgo–Pisces axis, Saturn opposing the Sun, and multiple planets pressed at 29° “critical degrees,” the skies ask you to close karmic loops and step into new beginnings with accountability and integrity. This isn't light or casual energy—it's reformative, catalytic, and deeply purposeful.The Human Design story mirrors this. You begin in confusion and doubt (64/63), pass through grace (22) and compassion (36), and arrive at embodiment (46) and realignment (18). September's gift is that every challenge, every shadow, is also a doorway into integrity and delight. The eclipses remind you: destiny resets under pressure. The question is—will you meet it with heaviness, or with the joy of embodied purpose?Tune in as Tam and I break it all down for you.

Venus takes the stage this week with fiery passion, surprising turns, and transformative encounters. From her bold entrance into Leo to her dance with Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, Venus reminds us what (and who) we truly value.Meanwhile, the Sun in Gate 59 – Sustainability and Earth in Gate 55 – Faith call us to cultivate intimacy and emotional trust, opening the door to greater freedom in spirit.

This weekend's Virgo New Moon is no ordinary fresh start.

Jupiter moves into Gate 53 – Starting, opening new doors, while Pluto steps into Gate 60 – Conservation, reminding us to honor what is lasting and true. Adding to the mix, Mercury in Leo sextiles Mars in Libra, inspiring bold conversations and cooperative action. Join me as we explore how these cosmic and Human Design energies invite you to align with what matters most, begin fresh cycles, and balance passion with wisdom.Join the Autumn Eclipses Webinar: https://choosebigchange.com/products/astroinklings-webinar-series-2025?variant=46411650007232
