JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking for the latest podcast which drops today March 13!This podcast begins by reminding us that we're not in the waning stages of the monthly lunar cycle that began with the February 17 Aquarius New Moon solar eclipse that asked us to plant seeds that help solidify our humanitarian beliefs & that progressive change should benefit all humans equally.What we got, however, by the February 24 waxing first quarter square of the Gemini Moon to the Pisces Sun, was a growing curiosity & questions about why the ideologues in power have more backwards beliefs about true equality.By the March 3 Virgo Full Moon lunar eclipse, our mission was to reveal (& release) all vague, confused & confusing answers to questions seeking facts. Especially since by then the United States had joined Israel to attack Iran on February 28, shortly after the third-quarter waning square of Mars to Uranus on February 27, surprising many. However, by the March 11 third quarter waning square of the Sagittarius Moon to the Pisces Sun, tension grew from asking questions that received no straight or verifiable answers to those focused on the overall strategy & end game for this war.And, as Jupiter stationed direct at 15'05” Cancer on March 12, the energy shifts to where we stand—both personally & collectively—in terms of morals & ethics. Retrograde since last November, Jupiter tasked us to go deep about whether we've been following our heart & souls' true knowledge about what is ethical & moral, or whether we've simply acquiesced to the beliefs of those in power.VENUS IN ARIES, JUPITER DIRECT: MORAL JUSTICE FOR SEX TRAFFICKED RAPE VICTIMSMeanwhile, as more Epstein documents continue to be released, since VE entered war god Mars-ruled Aries on March 6, & as it waxed toward a sextile to PL in AQ March 9/10 there was this from the NYT March 9: “Alexander Brothers Found Guilty of All Counts in Sex-Trafficking Trial The verdict comes more than a month after the trial began in Federal District Court in Manhattan where the jury heard weeks of emotional and often graphic testimony.“Three brothers, including two who were among the country's most prominent real estate brokers, were convicted in Manhattan on Monday of engaging in a yearslong conspiracy to traffic women and girls for sex.“The brothers — Tal and Oren Alexander, who regularly closed multimillion-dollar real estate deals in New York and elsewhere, and Alon Alexander, a security executive — were found guilty on every count they each faced, and could now all face life in prison when they are sentenced on Aug. 6.The verdict comes more than a month after the trial began in Federal District Court in Manhattan, where the jury heard weeks of emotional and often graphic testimony from 11 women who had accused the Alexander brothers of rape or sexual assault. Jurors deliberated for 21 hours. In some cases, the brothers — Tal, 39, and Oren and Alon, twins who are 38 — used drugs to incapacitate their victims before raping them.” We might hope that this is a bellwether for the Epstein scandal & that it's the beginning verdicts that help quench the thirst of those seeking long deprived justice for sexual abuse via international sex trafficking crimes. And that Venus in Aries will ultimately succeed in her her fight to restore the natural order of reverence for feminist anima as sacred.MERCURY RETROGRADE'S BLASTS FROM THE PASTThis podcast also delves into the reemergence of people & events from the past rearing their heads again today. Hmm, speaking of sexual abuse, might this recent verdict be a bellwether for the Epstein case as we learn that FBI is now investigating his sprawling Albuquerque, New Mexico, “Zorro Ranch” property,” which it neglected (or bothered) to search back when. A little Mercury retrograde action again, since the FBI knew about this property a long while back…Next, of course, is the Iran attack redux since both Israel & the U.S. claimed to have obliterated this nation's nuclear capabilities after their attacks back in June of 2025. Oops, maybe not…maybe it's during Mercury's retrograde in Pisces we were able to learn we were lied to, eh? Especially when we remember that Mercury's Hermes is known as “the trickster” in Greek mythology, there's the outdated intelligence used by Defense Department to target what it thought was an Iranian military structure that turned out to be a girls school.U.S. at Fault in Strike on School in Iran, Preliminary Inquiry Says, according to the NYTs on March 11: “Outdated targeting data may have resulted in a mistaken missile strike, according to the ongoing military investigation, which undercuts President Trump's assertion that Iran could be to blame…"...Striking a school full of children is sure to be recorded as one of the most devastating single military errors in recent decades. Iranian officials have said the death toll was at least 175 people, most of them children.” And of course answers from the U.S. Government to direct questions have been muddled & vague. Since Mercury is related to communication, we also have the reemergence of names like Kari Lake-- remember her? She's the right wing former candidate for Arizona Governor who Donald Trump last year appointed as the head of Voice of America, the international broadcast arm of the U.S. Government.There was this from AP on March 8: “Judge Voids Mass Layoffs at Voice of America…Federal judge rules Trump Administration's action to dismantle Voice of America are illegal. The ruling, which said that Kari Lake's appointment to oversee V.O.A.'s parent agency was invalid, was a major rejection of President Trump's attempts to dismantle the government-funded news group.”WATER, WATER, EVERYWHERE, NOR ANY DROP TO DRINKNext, we have the ongoing fall out of the attacks on Iranian infrastructure which seem to align with the recently begun Saturn/Neptune cycle in Aries. Numerous events, including the attacks on Iranian desalination planets, & Iranian retaliation toward nearby Gulf states have resulted thus far in destroying the ability of millions to access clean drinking water.According to the New York Times “…desalination plants in Iran and Bahrain were struck during the escalating conflict, with Iran accusing the U.S. of hitting a facility on Qeshm Island [the largest island in the Persian Gulf] that supplies water to about 30 villages, while Bahrain blamed an Iranian drone for damaging a plant there. “Analysts warned that attacking desalination infrastructure — a primary source of drinking water for millions in the Gulf — marks a serious escalation that could threaten civilian survival and broaden the war's impact beyond military targets.”Never mind the fact that this war has caused the Iranians to close their side of the Straits of Hormuz (Saturn=boundaries; Neptune=water, Aries=action), through which 20% of the world's oil transits. And that the rest of the world struggles to make up for this shortfall by releasing strategic petroleum preserves to tamp down the rise in oil prices, which may see oil rise to upwards of $200 per barrel, as per some experts estimates.And, of course there's the fact that bombing Iran has resulted in setting back the cause of preventing future damaging climate change for who knows how long, but at least decades, according to experts.PISCES NEW MOON: PLANT SEEDS OF GREATER EMPATHY FOR REAL VICTIMSAs we head toward the March 18 Pisces New Moon, which brings both luminaries together at 28'27” PI at 1:20 pm PT & 4:20 pm ET, they are also waxing toward conjunctions with Neptune at 1'42” Aries & Saturn @3'56”, as they begin to separate from now. This podcast delves into more about this lunation, & how by the time it arrives we'll also have the exact conjunction of wounded healer Chiron to chaos-inducer dwarf planet Eris. That's in addition to the March 15 conjunction of Mar & Mercury retrograde in Pisces.The Pisces New Moon chart for Washington, D.C., places the Chiron/Eris conjunction in the 7th House of partnership & partile opposite the Libra Ascendant & transiting Part of Fortune. It seems clear, imo, that America's lack of empathy for those who its actions have killed, maimed, or whose security it has destroyed--& the ensuring pain & chaos it has caused, will not be looked upon kindly by the rest of the world, either friend or foe.Learn more about the current & future Astro News You Can Use @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking when this latest podcast drops today March 13! We look also at the Pisces New Moon's square of Venus to Uranus, its position in Donald Trump's chart & how it depicts impulsive decisions that spark trouble for our partnerships. And how, by the time we reach the April 1 Libra Full Moon, we'll be asked to release the Aries Sun's shadow side of going it alone, partnership be damned…See you later! Namaste…

JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking as she delves into how we got into this mess in Iran--astrologically speaking--via the ongoing Mars/Uranus cycle! And what's in store as we head toward the third quarter monthly lunar square March 11!This week's podcast outlines all that's taken place--& its astrological correspondences—as we approach Venus's entrance into Mars-ruled Aries (the warrior) March 6, & the Sun/Mercury Rx & Venus/Neptune conjunctions in Pisces March 7, & look for chaos to morph into greater clarity about the U.S./Israeli attacks on Iran.First, we've gotten already big clues already about how the Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction will manifest by March 7. And that's first via the announcement on March 5 of the firing of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem by President Trump. Secondly, it includes the announcement on March 4 by the Republican-led House Oversight Committee that they've subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi, which compels her to testify regarding the Department of Justice's handling of records in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The voted 24-19 included bipartisan support, with five Republicans joining Democrats.Hey, it's Mercury retrograde—time to revisit & review old issues, doncha know? And the same goes for the repeat during Mercury's current retrograde cycle of the attack by the U.S. & Israel on Iran which occurred first on July 15, 2025, when Mars @28'54 Leo formed its first waxing square to tUR at 28'54” Taurus. And how, when Jupiter stations direct in Cancer March 10, we'll be sorting out whether our personal set of values, morals, & ethics match those of society at large. Or, whether during its retrograde period, we've gotten in greater touch with whether we've simply blithely accepted those of our society & culture at large without question.Further, as we approach next week's third quarter waning monthly lunar “crisis in consciousness” square of the Sagittarius Moon to the Pisces Sun March 11 we'll again find ourselves questioning whether our personal values match the nebulously chimerical ones of those of people in power. WAR--WHAT'S IT GOOD FOR? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!First, this podcast explores how the warmongering taking place as the U.S. self-dubbed “peace president” illustrates how Mercury retrograde works by repeating now—since Mercury stationed retrograde in Pisces on February 25/26—with this repeat an attack on Iran. And how, while the Sun's been in Pisces since February 18, we've merged with Israel, the same partner as last July, to do so. And also, when the Sun, Mercury, Venus, & Mars were all in Neptune-ruled Pisces—both archetypally related to confusion, illusion, & delusion--the question arose: Are we're doing the same thing over & over again but expecting different results?This podcast reviews the synodic cycle of Mars to Uranus since the two first conjoined at 26'32” Taurus on July 15, 2024, two days after the attempted assassination of President Trump during his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. We might note now that this degree conjoined fixed star Algol an “off with his head” energy, as the gunman reportedly grazed Trump's ear. We take a deep dive into where this Mars/Uranus cycle's waxing & waning aspects occurred in Trump's chart & whether (or not)—especially given the symbology of his grazed ear—he's at all listening to its messages. You really can't make this stuff up, right?
JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking to dissect how the themes of this eclipse have manifested thus far & what to expect now!First, this podcast reminds us that we're still in the waxing portion of the monthly lunar cycle which began with February 17's Aquarius New Moon solar eclipse which squared Uranus in Taurus.We knew then that there would be sudden & potentially shocking revelations this month. Hence, the first quarter lunar square of the Gemini Moon to the Pisces Sun February 24 has had us asking many questions (Gemini=communication & curiosity) the answers to which have previously remained vague & unclear (Neptune-ruled Pisces=confusion.)Known as the “crisis in action” portion of the monthly lunar cycle, this first quarter square represented the growth of the seeds planted at the Aquarius New Moon solar eclipse. It was then we were asked us to separate forward thinking humanitarian ideological beliefs from groups with fixed ideologues whose narrower sets of beliefs take us backward in time. As we move toward March 3's Virgo Full Moon lunar eclipse, which occurs at 3:38 a.m. PT & 6:38 a.m. ET at 12'54” of the Mercury-ruled sign of analytical thinking based on facts from which we may draw conclusions, we face the confusion & frustration of getting only vague, inconclusive answers from the Pisces Sun, as noted. Nowhere was this more obvious than during former first lady & Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's forced testimony in front of the GOP majority ruled House Oversight Committee on February 26. The ideological divide noted at the Aquarius New Moon solar eclipse became obvious at Clinton turned her clarity-seeking questions back onto the committee & it's true purpose.Despite the fact that convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell “took part in budget discussions related to the first Clinton Global Initiative conference; talked through challenges about it with both Clinton aides and Publicis Groupe, the company that produced the inaugural event; and arranged to wire $1 million to pay Publicis for its work on “the Clinton project,” according to emails in the massive cache of documents collected as part of the government's investigations of Mr. Epstein,” as per the New York Times, Calling this “partisan political theater,” & “and an insult to the American people,” Clinton derided the committee for wasting time asking her questions instead of calling for the testimony of people mentioned numerous times in the recently released Epstein documents.People like Elon Musk, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, & President Donald Trump--who's mentioned thousands of times in these documents as has been reported now by many reputable media outlets. MERCURY RETROGRADE IN PISCES KICKS OFF AN ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE EMOTIONAL QUALITY OF LIFE No surprise that such confusion might arise as this occurred just after Mercury stationed retrograde at 22'34” Pisces late February 25 & early February 26, depending on your time zone. Mercury will remain in retrograde motion until he stations direct again at 8'29” Pisces, & this particular retrograde cycle kicks off a year of Mercury retrogrades through the water element. This podcast discusses the deeper meaning of Mercury retrograde periods in general, and the specific call during this next year for us to dive deeply into past emotional habits & relationships to help us release hidden unconscious drives based on past experiences.If we can bring such knowledge out of the unconscious portion of our psyches & into the light of greater consciousness, we can then make the positive changes necessary for greater happiness going forward.As a harbinger of the beginning of such a review period, we're seeing now being revealed the previously hidden names of those in contact with Epstein as he carried out building his international criminal pedophile ring. Some participated, some advised him on how to avoid further legal or public censure after his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor for prostitution; others simply sought favor from him because of his money & influence &/or vice versa.THE PROMINENCE OF ECLIPSE THEMES IN THE COLLECTIVE AS WE APPROACH THE MARCH 3 LUNAR ECLIPSEEither way, though, this foretells the manifestation of this particular set of eclipse themes, which is that they involve paperwork, communication, & news, along with a young person. At the first solar eclipse the young person in the news was five-year-old Liam Consejo Ramos, taken by ICE along with his father into detention in Texas, whose bunny ear hat & spiderman backpack picture appeared as front page news across the U.S.Now, however, as we approach the March 3 Virgo Full Moon lunar eclipse, the spotlight has shifted to the 13 or 14 year old girl who's testimony of rape by Donald Trump was deleted from the FBI interview files & therefore not released with the rest of the Epstein documents.This missing interview is the perfect example of the manifestation of this eclipse's energies: That, as the Virgo Moon opposes the Pisces Sun, factual information emerges out of the haze of the confusing nature of the legally demanded release of ALL documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.As per the independent news organization Meidas Touch: “The January 4, 2026, memo, originally flagged by journalist Lisa Rubin, instructed FBI personnel reviewing documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act to specifically flag certain categories of materials. Among them were FBI 302 forms, which are used to memorialize witness interviews. Those are the very types of records that were previously reported as missing from document productions tied to Epstein-related investigations.“Some of those interviews involve survivors who accused Trump of sexual assault when they were just children. The existence of a directive to flag these records suggests an internal focus on managing or controlling how such materials were handled during the review process.”The question now, as we approach this Virgo Full Moon lunar eclipse is what other hidden information will continue to be revealed going forward—particularly during Mercury's retrograde period AND as the Sun conjoins with Mercury retrograde on March 7? A Sun/Mercury conjunction usually denotes an important announcement of some kind made by someone prominent. However, when Mercury's retrograde, it's likely what we hear will relate to something we've already heard about before. So, whether that's continued denials, more resignations of prominent people associated with Epstein &/or Maxwell, or more hidden information coming to light, keep your ears open as this conjunction waxes now. ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL PRECEDENT IS BEING SET—FOR BETTER OR WORSE… As former president Bill Clinton testifies today, February 27, we may learn more about his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein or we may not. Either way, however, the important point to recognize here (aka, the “aha!” moment) is how his forced Congressional testimony sets a precedent.This is the first time a president has been forced by subpoena to testify in front of a congressional committee, which now sets the stage for this to happen in the future. When we recognize that this testimony is now taking place during Mercury retrograde, we can assume: 1. That this particular committee doesn't have an astrologer, lol; & 2. That portends future forced testimony by any other president, past or present.Hmm, given that these eclipses also foretell the growing divide between groups who believe in the sanctity of the U.S. Constitution & its inherent right to things like due process, etc., & those who seek to avoid adhering to upholding such rights, any turnover in Congressional majorities may well foretell a future Trump deposition.Hopefully Bill Clinton won't be subjected to questions about UFOs or Pizzagate, as was his wife Hillary. And hopefully, any questions asked yield honest answers about his involvement, if any, with Jeffrey Epstein & his heinous morally derelict “businesses.”The point here is that this issue has gripped democrats, republicans, and independent voters alike based on the sheer disgust most feel for Epstein's “unnatural” sexual perversions that resulted in abuse, slaver, & what the U.N. advisors have labeled “torture” of children & women.So, the message of this set of eclipses now is that such disgust will not be tolerated by the collective—both domestically & internationally--& hence it will not “disappear” as the Pisces Sun may wish right ow.In turn, the ultimate question remains: Will what's happening now cause the ultimate downfall of more people (particularly men proven to be perpetrators guilty of such sexual crimes), including Donald Trump?Join Sheri Horn Hasan for a discussion of all this & more Astro News You Can Use, which the latest podcast drops today @ @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speakingSee you then!

! JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking for this week's Astro News You Can Use, including a look at former Prince Andrew's sudden arrest & how the Epstein scandal has reached the level of crimes against humanity at the United Nations!This podcast discusses how the Aquarius New Moon solar eclipse on Feb 17 challenges now us to plant seeds that can blossom into the birth of a new, more humanitarian future-oriented ideology. It told us too, however, that it's the ideologues who, rather than believe in an ideology founded on a system of ideas and ideals--especially ones which form the basis of economic or political theory and policy--instead are often blindly partisan advocates or adherents of a particular ideology.And, since this eclipse had both luminaries in Aquarius square their ruler Uranus in Taurus, it's highlighted that a change in values is most definitely overdue. Uranus is the planet that tells us that the only constant is change. And, that the longer we resist change, the more likely change will occur in a sudden, surprising, or shocking way.So, the universe is asking us now several things if we look back & review the past few lunations. It obvious now that it asked us at the December 19 Sagittarius New Moon to plant seeds that lead to bringing into collective consciousness what we believe to be truly moral, ethical, & just.Meanwhile, the Capricorn New Moon on January 18 highlighted the need for us to stand our ground, or draw the line if you will since Saturn-ruled Capricorn loves its boundaries, in the fight against tyrannical idealogues who don't believe in upholding justice for all.Now, since this February 17 Aquarius New Moon solar eclipse—which carries several themes we're already seeing playing out not only here in America but worldwide—it's time for us to review our true ideological beliefs & decide whether they are about a future of betterment for all of mankind or only for a entitled few.Former Prince Andrew's arrest on February 19, which also happened to be his 66th birthday, shocked the world given his royal lineage. However, it showed us that no one is immune from finding justice through the legal system.This podcast looks at Andrew's natal chart & dissects how his Chiron in late Aquarius conjunct his 8th House Pisces Sun—along with his Scorpio Moon square to them both—reveals the origin of his woundedness in relationships in general & with females in particular. We also discuss his history of sexual obsession from the time he was a young teen.Meanwhile, however, the Epstein scandal—spurred mostly by the release of three million documents related to him—has gone international in other ways as well, since it's reached the level of concern for the United Nations.“In a statement on Monday, the independent experts – who serve in their individual capacities under mandates from the UN Human Rights Council and are not UN staff – warned that the alleged acts documented in the files could amount to some of the gravest crimes under international law.“The reported conduct could amount to sexual slavery, reproductive violence, enforced disappearance, torture, inhuman and degrading treatment, and femicide, according to the experts.“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” they said.” IS AMERICA AT A TURNING POINT, AND IF SO, IS IT “UNITED WE STAND” OR “DIVIDED WE FALL?”Meanwhile, other shocks & surprises occurred as well, including the sad news of the death of Jesse Jackson, “American civil rights activist, politician, and ordained Baptist minister. A protégé of Martin Luther King Jr. and James Bevel during the civil rights movement, he became one of the most prominent civil rights leaders of the late 20th and early 21st centuries,” according to Wikipedia.Then there's the ongoing stalemate in the partial U.S. government shutdown as GOP ideologues continue to block the Democrat's request to make modifications to Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) & Customs & Border Patrol (CBP) agents as they continue to violate due process & the 4th Amendment. No surprise that the partial government shutdown took place as Saturn (read: resistance) entered Mars-ruled Aries, the archetypal energy of motivation & action. There's this from Thom Hartmann, Feb 17: The American Revolution Started Over This Kind of Abuse: Have We Forgotten? Once the government decides who qualifies for Fourth Amendment protection, rights stop being rights and start being privileges handed out by those in power…”“This fight isn't really about immigration,” Hartmann explains. “It's about whether the Constitution still restrains government power at all. When elected officials call it a ‘nonstarter' to require federal agents to get a judicial warrant before kicking in doors, to give people bail or a trial before they face long-term prison, and to allow protests, they're not debating border policy, they're testing whether the Bill of Rights is still binding or has become merely decorative.“The Fourth Amendment: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”SATURN/NEPTUNE CONJOIN IN MARS-RULED ARIES: WAR INLAND & ON THE SEAS?And now we find ourselves on the threshold of the new Saturn/Neptune cycle as the two meet on February 20 in Aries, kicking off a astrological energy that will last for the next 36 years.This as Donald Trump has threatened to staunch the free flow of information concerning voting & voting rights by threatening to limit who can vote & define who can't. All based on the fact that he's an ideologue who, in combination with his many lies, seems to truly believe he lost the 2020 presidential election due to fraud inherent in the voting process. And then there's his threats now to go to war with Iran. Remember, Saturn represents foundations that allow us to feel secure, while Neptune is water, among other things. In Mars-ruled Aries, with the naval building up near Iran, it's clear that Trump's threats involve invading Iran represent a transgression of such boundaries.Like his illegal bombing of boats in the Caribbean & Pacific oceans suspected (but not proven) to be carrying illegal drugs, & his midnight military invasion of Venezuela & the kidnapping of its leader Nicolas Maduro & his wife, this most recent threat to Iran—likely endorsed by Israel's Netanyahu since the two met recently in Washington, D.C.—seems to be based also on Trump's fixed ideological notion that he is the king, not only of America, but of the world.Pushback has already begun as a War Powers Resolution has been introduced in Congress, stated that only they have the ability to declare & not the president alone. Tensions will likely grow as we approach the February 24 first quarter lunar square of the Gemini Moon to the Pisces Sun (since the Sun entered Pisces on February 18, the day after the Aquarius solar eclipse.)The Moon (the people) will likely continue to communicate (Gemini) their concerns with the president's (Sun) vaguely articulated plans to invade yet another sovereign nation that has not declared war against the U.S.MERCURY RETROGRADE IN PISCES: REVIEW TIME!When Mercury stations retrograde at 22'34” Pisces on February 24, we've the opportunity to review several things, the first of which is what is the emotional quality of our lives? Given the state of the sluggish growth in the U.S. economy based on the negative results of Mercury-related tariffs on trade & the cost of goods, Trump's refusal to allow the opening a second major trade route from Michigan to Canada in the form of the Gordie Howe Bridge, we see there's much to review…There is also, of course, the ability of “local” communities to continue their protests against ICE & CPB as the courts have become overwhelmed by the number of habeas corpus & other rights violation cases by both citizens & immigrants—both legal & illegal—alike.As we wait the exact square of Mars in Aquarius to Uranus in Taurus, keep an eye out for any sudden martial or military action based on the beliefs of ideologues such as Trump & the kakistocracy government he's put into place this past year. The signs say it will be sudden and, given the involvement of Mars, potentially violent…Tune in to hear more, including where this Aquarius New Moon solar eclipse fell in both Washington, D.C. & in the U.S. Sibly birth charts & what that portends @https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speakingSee you then!

As more light gets shed on the contents of Jeffrey Epstein's long sought after documents during this month's Capricorn New Moon lunar cycle which began on January 18 & hit its apex at the Leo Full Moon February 1, we see a collective aha! moment awakening process dawning.But, not everyone wants to awaken from their ideological notion that a “perfect world” means one where rich elites rule through xenophobia, racism, misogyny, gender-discrimination, etc., in order to creat an "us versus them" dynamic to stay in power.This is exemplified by Saturn's move into Mars-ruled Aries today, February 13, which combines a planet that is change resistant with a sign that is action oriented. When these two meet, there are positive strides to be made if one can commit to working hard toward the achievement of a planned goal. Slow & steady wins the race, in other words, when these two combine.Pitfalls abound, however, in that Saturn's shadow side is its rigidity & tendency to linger in the past, while Mars-ruled Aries is its impulsive & impetuous nature that may result in hasty decisions that can hurt not only oneself but others.As we approach Saturn's re-entrance into Aries from now until April 13, 2028, we might ponder how this will play both throughout the collective & in our personal lives. Right now, the example in front of us, in the U.S., at least, is in the fact that rigidity on two sides of the political spectrum will cause a partial government shutdown at midnight tonight.As both Democratic & Republican senators are deeply entrenched in their respective political positions—the former on achieving future progress, the latter on staying intractably stuck in past decisions—the result is frustration.That this frustration will hit those most impacted by a lack of funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees not only the Immigration & Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) & the Customs & Border Patrol (CBP) agency, but also the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Transportation Security Agency (TSA), & the U.S. Coast Guard.Together, this will impact 260,000 federal employees, although not those in ICE or CBP, since they've been fully funded since Trump signed into law his big ugly bill last July which gave billions to the DHS for these agencies for years to come.The others, however, may see staff shortages and/or government employees working without pay until this stalemate is resolved. And that stalemate revolves around NOT sanctioning even MORE money for ICE & imposing a list of restrictions on how they are operating currently.AQUARIUS NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE THEMES INCLUDE COMMUNICATION, PAPERWORK, & YOUNG PEOPLE...What's clear as this Capricorn New Moon lunar cycle comes to an end & the Aquarius New Moon solar eclipse heralds in a new one is that the times, they are a'changin'…This podcast takes a deep dive into the themes of not only this current set of upcoming eclipses—meaning both the Aquarius New Moon solar eclipse at 29'48” Aquarius on February 17 & the 12'40” Virgo Full Moon lunar eclipse March 3--but how these echo those from last September's set of eclipses.So, as resistance grow by those in power to investigating & acknowledging that the violation of societally agreed upon morals, ethics, & justice deserves to be revealed if not punished—you know, stuff like pedophilia, denying people due process, punishing immigrants' children with detention, etc.—so does the collectives' awareness that something is wrong.This solar eclipse's squares by the Aquarius Moon & Sun to Uranus in Taurus—as both Mercury & Venus in Aquarius's squares to Uranus have already foreshadowed—reveal that not everyone is in agreement that those in power deserve to remain protected by being allowed to remain hidden in the shadows.In addition, collective empathy for those who've been wronged has begun to grow since Mercury & Venus entered Pisces on February 6 & 9, respectively. And that includes empathy for the sexually abused young girls & women, to the innocent immigrants & U.S. citizens vilified (most often without proof), to the innocent children detained & incarcerated with a parent or who've been separated from parents & other loved ones.Such empathy will likely grow, especially since the Sun will enter Pisces February 18, following the February 17 solar eclipse. So too will the calls for change increase as the Aquarius Sun perfects its square to Uranus in Taurus between now & February 15/16, depending on your time zone.AMERICA'S (READ: THE PEOPLES') ATTORNEY GENERAL OR TRUMP'S PERSONAL ATTORNEY?This podcast explores also some revelations that come clear through an analyzation of U.S. Attorney General Pan Bondi's natal chart, even though we have no definite time of birth. This is especially relevant given her astoundingly combative & aggravatingly frustrating performance in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee February 11 as we approached Saturn's move into Aries on February 13.Born November 17, 1965, in Tampa, Florida, aspects within Bondi's chart reveal the origin of her discompassionate emotional relationship with women—as so clearly evidenced during her refusal to even acknowledge the existence, and the pain, of several Epstein sexual abuse victims during her recent Senate Judiciary hearing.A close look reveals how her lack of healthy nurturing also seems to block her ability to empathize with with women in general & sexual abuse victims specifically. That she also lacks air—with only Jupiter in Aquarius—shows her lack of objectivity on one hand but also her niche brilliance likely responsible for how far she's gotten in the legal hierarchy thus far.However, she also lacks fire, as Mercury in Sagittarius is her only planet in that element, & this can lead—as per Jungian psychological astrologer Richard Ideman—to a great deal of rage. These elemental lacks tend to appear during times of stress or crisis. After witnessing her arrogant & angry performance the other day: Ya think???Tune in to hear more about how Bondi's observable behavior—including her rage—is written in the aspects in her chart. And how, even though we don't know her Ascendant or house placements, we can still glean an awful lot about how & why she acts the way she does.Given that an attorney general works to apply the law equally to ALL Americans, her tendency toward obsessiveness (Mecury square Pluto) & evasive secretiveness (Sun/Neptune conjunction in Pluto-ruled Scorpio) tell us how she's often fallen short of that goal.There's more so be sure to give Karmic Evolution's Astrologically Speaking podcast a listen, starting today, February 13, @https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speakingLooking forward to seeing you later! Namaste…
On this episode, Jeff Hinshaw guides you through a somatic meditation and energy update connectd to the Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse (February 17, 2026), a powerful threshold moment inviting radical freedom, collective liberation, and visionary action. As we stand between major shift, Neptune newly in Aries (since January 26), Saturn entering Aries on February 13, and their historic conjunction at 0° Aries on February 20, we're asked to merge dream with discipline and take courageous steps toward a new 29-year cycle. With the North Node set to enter Aquarius in July and the Year of the Fire Horse igniting bold momentum, this eclipse offers a preview of emerging collective storylines around collaboration, mutual aid, and shared vision. In addition, on this Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse episode, Jeff Hinshaw is joined by Chef Stephanie Shershow for a conversation on friendship, service, ritual, and soul evolution. We reflect on meeting in India in January 2024 as Pluto entered Aquarius, the karmic bond that formed between us, and the many initiations Stephanie has moved through since—losing her home in a hurricane, the passing of her father, relationship endings, and her cross-country move west. Through it all, she shares how decades of sobriety, Kundalini yoga, and daily spiritual practice have become a non-negotiable anchor. Together we explore the Aquarian archetype of the water bearer—the outsider who returns to nourish the collective—and how Stephanie embodies this through her Aquarius Sun, Taurus Moon, and Libra Rising: the friendly humanitarian in a field of rolling greens, ensuring the revolution is well fed. We also dive into the power of food as ritual and how feeding someone can be an act of dignity and devotion. Stephanie shares stories from her work in recovery centers and her intuitive relationship to nourishment, while we preview our upcoming Aquarius New Moon gathering in Joshua Tree celebrating the launch of the Lonely Planet Travel Tarot. Inspired by tarot archetypes, Morocco, Kyoto, and shared global journeys, the evening weaves together mocktails, cherry blossoms, cacao, music, and collective intention. This episode is ultimately an invocation: to practice radical service, to make meaning through personal myth, and to remember that gathering around food and ritual is ancient. Plus, we celebrate the launch of the Lonely Planet Travel Tarot at Maha Rose in Brooklyn, New York on February 20 with special guest Lindsay Mack—a gathering aligned with this rare cosmic turning point.

If you've learned anything about 2026, it's that this is not business as usual. This Aquarius New Moon Eclipse sparks the Lunar New Year in the Year of the Fire Horse, and it's not asking you what you want. It's asking you: What are you open to? There's no going back to business as usual, so you need to be open to something brand new and trust on taking that leap of faith. In this episode of Star Powered, I guide you through the meaning of the Aquarius Eclipse and how it invites you to shift your perspective, disrupt linear thinking, and move in a new direction through quantum evolution. This is our first eclipse in the Aquarius–Leo axis, opening a 19-month cycle of innovation, leadership, and belonging through difference.
Ever feel like you're too weird to belong with the "normal" people, but also too normal to fit in with the spiritual crowd? That uncomfortable in-between space where you're constantly editing yourself, hiding parts of who you really are? That's the witch wound at work.This Aquarius solar eclipse is here to shake things loose. Everything you've been burying is about to come up and out, whether you're ready or not.In this episode, we're talking about how the witch wound shows up as the "I don't need people anyway" mask, why your weirdness is actually how you find your people, and what it means when your inner world demands attention and all your usual coping mechanisms stop working.If you've been performing independence instead of living authenticity, if you've convinced yourself you're fine alone when what you really are is scared of rejection, this one's for you.Your quirks aren't something to hide. They're the signal that tells the right people "oh, she's like me, I can be myself here too."Listen now and subscribe if you're ready to stop hiding who you actually are.

This lunation takes place at the anaretic degree of Aquarius, emphasizing culmination and transition. Something is completing, and something new is beginning — even if we cannot yet name it.

Louise Edington discusses the upcoming solar eclipse on February 17, an annular eclipse visible over Antarctica, and its significant impact on personal and collective life shifts. She explains that solar eclipses act as cosmic catalysts for new beginnings and major life changes. The eclipse is at 28 degrees Aquarius, marking the sixth of seven new moons at this degree, symbolizing powerful leadership and new beginnings. Key aspects include a square to Uranus and the emergence of Venus as the evening star. Additionally, Louise highlights the Saturn-Neptune conjunction at zero Aries, a rare event occurring after over 6,300 years, signaling a new astrological age.Useful linkshttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1E4wl_i0VKPwTeeBangBcCBZCcfzhVxPOORXRVvvZuiY/edit?usp=sharingWelcome to Cosmic Owl Astrology
In this Year Ahead episode, Lindsay Mack and Jeff Hinshaw explore the following: 2025 Reflections: 2025's deeply Piscean tone—shaped by Neptune in Pisces since 2011, the Hermit archetype, and themes of grief, waiting, and dissolution. A year of initiation: 2026 is a universal 1 year, aligned with the Magician, Wheel of Fortune, and Sun in the Tarot, pointing to beginnings, clarity, momentum, and reclaimed spiritual authority. Major astrological shift: Saturn and Neptune move from Pisces into Aries, ushering in a fire-driven era focused on action, identity, and leadership. Key February activation: Saturn enters Aries, an Aquarius New Moon solar eclipse coincides with the Chinese New Year // Year of the Fire Horse, and Saturn conjuncts Neptune at 0° Aries—marking the birth of a new cycle of imaginative, embodied leadership. Fire expands through the year: Jupiter's entry into Leo later in 2026 amplifies creativity, joy, and heart-led visibility. Tarot themes: 2025's patience and preparation (Hermit, Knight of Pentacles) give way to 2026's initiators—the Knight of Wands, Magician, Wheel, and Sun—emphasizing bold action and authorship. Long-cycle beginnings: Reflections on 2017 highlight how Magician/Sun years often launch projects and identities that shape an entire nine-year cycle. Working with grief: The episode emphasizes transforming grief into tools, talismans, and creative practices rather than bypassing it. Reclaiming agency: 2026 invites a redefinition of relationship to spirit, community, and collaboration, guided by the mantra “allow your mind to be the wand.” Choose your own adventure: Listeners are encouraged to clear unhelpful patterns, choose aligned collaborations, and ask: What is your tool? What is your name? Who are you ready to become?

Dynamics changes are coming in strong and won't stop this week a lot of cosmic shifts in the works! The Aquarius New Moon at 9 deg 51 on January 29 is boosted by Uranus stationing direct at 23 dg 15 Taurus the next day, amplifying more surprises and shocks. February begins with a magical Pisces stellium (Moon, Venus, Neptune, and NN) all at 28 deg, which sets the stage for the next few months with karmic endings, grand closures, and compassion portals. Then Venus enters Aries on Feb 3, where she will move slowly through the first sign of the zodiac this month before her retrograde begins on March 1 at 10 deg 50 Aries. Jupiter stations direct at 11 deg Gemini on Feb 4, and with the trine to Mercury in Aquarius occurring at the same time, big messages, news, announcements, and inspired directions will light up the path ahead.

Big shifts have unfolded in the world since the Sun conjunct Pluto at 1 deg 41 Aquarius on January 21 – including snow on the beaches of Florida! – and now we are in new realms of consciousness and creation. Aquarius season brings us into more of our multidimensional choices and directions, asking you to be clear in what you want and remain in alignment with the higher versions of yourself that are connecting to many potentials. Mars RX, Mercury, and Venus all interact with Uranus RX in Taurus at 23 degrees this week, signaling what you are reframing in your experience that supports higher self-love and your new values. The Aquarius New Moon at 10 deg on January 29 is especially zingy-zangy-exciting with Mercury conjunct Pluto the same day, and Uranus stationing direct the next day.
