Today, we're taking the next step in our Pluto in Aquarius journey. If you watched Friday's episode, you know we've gone deep. We've named the strongman. We've decoded the authoritarian playbook. We've called forward the midwives of the new world.But today we ask the question that lives in the hearts of every awakened soul:Now what?How do we rise?What can we actually do?”We'll also chat about Venus' move into Cancer and the Mercury-Sun conjunction this week.

Today's Sun-Pluto opposition marks a potent moment for truth to confront power. In this episode, we begin a 3-part series on Pluto in Aquarius with Part 1: The Death of the Strongman. We'll explore how Pluto is dismantling the old archetype of control, manipulation, and dominance—and why Trump's recent actions (and inaction) are part of the larger cosmic pattern.Additionally, we'll explore the new Human Design week with the Sun in Gate 31 – The Leader, and discuss what this means for authentic, collective-aligned leadership moving forward.

The Sun moves into Leo this week and a powerful New Moon follows, forming rare and dynamic aspects to Uranus, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto.

Plus, Jupiter enters Gate 39—Provocation—challenging us to grow beyond our comfort zone.

While the astrology sky is light on transits this weekend, there's still magic in the air. Mercury in Leo forms a playful sextile with Venus in Gemini, fostering creative communication and heart-centered connection. Meanwhile, the Human Design week kicks off on Saturday with the Sun entering Gate 56 – Expansion, the Gate of the Storyteller, and the Earth grounding us in Gate 60 – Conservation.In today's show, we'll explore how to harness these energies to speak your truth, express your unique journey, and balance adventure with stability. It's a perfect time to ask: What story are you here to share?

It's a light week, astrologically speaking, with only a Mercury retrograde on tap (as if that's not enough! LOL). Mercury retrogrades in Leo this time, and we can all take a moment or 3 weeks to get clear on where our hearts are. This pause in the astrological sky provides an opportunity for me to review some Human Design with you, starting with the Centers.

Saturn begins his retrograde journey in fiery Aries on July 10, pausing at 1°56′ before making a rare return to the final degree of Pisces on September 1.

We won't see Saturn re-enter Aries until February 13, 2026.In today's broadcast, we'll explore what this retrograde means for you:

Jupiter's conjunction to the New Moon brings hope, but its inconjunct to Pluto warns us that transformation demands sacrifice.Join me for a deep dive into what this “ominous” New Moon really asks of us — and how to find clarity amidst the emotional fog.

Today on Living Astrology, we explore the energetic contrast between sharp precision and soft focus as Mars enters Virgo, bringing a drive for order, improvement, and grounded action.

Living Astrology with JanetMonday Broadcast

This week's astrology is powerful and transformative, highlighted by the Virgo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse—a cosmic turning point that brings clarity, closure, and necessary course corrections. Lunar eclipses illuminate what's no longer aligned in our lives, urging us to release outdated habits, beliefs, and structures. In Virgo, this eclipse emphasizes healing, organization, and practical realignments that support our long-term well-being.At the same time, Mercury stations retrograde, calling for deep reflection, thoughtful recalibration, and a reassessment of priorities. Revelations may emerge—some expected, others surprising—pushing you to step into a new level of self-awareness and intentional action.How can you navigate this week's cosmic shifts with clarity and purpose? What changes are unfolding, and how can you align with them rather than resist?

✨ What happens when we cultivate Grace in our emotions and clarity in our Mindset? ✨With the Sun in Gate 22 – Grace and the Earth in Gate 47 – Mindset, this is a week to explore:

Today, we're going to talk about the important Gates that Venus and Mercury will transit through during their retrograde. The week begins with the Sun in Gate 63- Doubt (Curiosity in QHD) and Earth in Gate 64-Confusion (Divine Transference in QHD). Mercury moved into Aries early this morning, and we'll chat about that as well.

Venus, the planet of love, relationships, money, values, and beauty, moves into her retrograde phase this weekend. While she is in retrograde, there are some things for us to watch out for. Let's look deeper into Aries energy to see the sign's highest, lowest, and neutral expressions.

March is filled with all kinds of excitement as both Venus and Mercury retrograde across nearly the same area of the chart, two eclipses occur, we have the astrological new year, and for the first time in 165 years, Neptune steps in Aries. It's sure to be a transformational month!

This week, we continue with our Piscean themes with a Mercury-Saturn conjunction and a Pisces stellium at the new moon. Can we link our dreams to actions now that Mars is moving forward?

On Monday, we discussed all the Piscean energy we're in through the lens of Astrology. Today, let's look at Pisces through Human Design. If you have your Human Design Chart, bring it with you. Mars stations direct this weekend after 2 months of retrograde.

The Sun joins Saturn, the North Node, and Neptune in Pisces this week, adding to the energy in the mystical, spiritual, and imaginative sign of the fishes. Bring your Astrology and Human Design charts to the broadcast to know where this will impact you.

This morning, Pia Orleane and Cullen Baird-Smith of Pleiadian-Earth Astrology and Calendar joined me for a lively discussion. We'll also look ahead at the astrology of the weekend.

It's not that it's a bad week, but there are irritations and little changes that get under our skin as we move toward a Leo Full Moon. Today, Mercury squares Uranus, then the Sun squares Uranus, and then the Moon squares Uranus. Sensing a theme for the week? More on the "scritchiness" during this morning's broadcast.

Today, we dive into the mystical union of Neptune and the North Node in Pisces—a cosmic call to surrender, trust, and step into your higher destiny. This rare transit dissolves illusions, awakening deep intuition and spiritual purpose. Are you ready to follow the flow of your soul's true path?

Several things jump out at me for this week, beginning today with Mars Rx square Chiron (who is also conjunct the Moon and Eris) and Mercury trine Jupiter. Tomorrow, Jupiter, the planet of wisdom, expansion, and philosophy, moves from retrograde to direct motion, and Venus moves into Aries.

With so much energy in Pisces from now through February, it's a perfect time to reimagine the sign with its proper feminine attributes. Of course, that means we'll also have to look at Neptune and determine his rulership here. We'll also be discussing the weekend transits.
