Oracle Deck https://a.co/d/0bOgiJsrthedeckofcharacter.comA Lot to Catch Up OnI am back from Chicago — and there is a lot I want to share before we dive into a week that honestly deserves its own documentary. Bear with me; Louise asked me to keep most of this in.The Chicago/UAC trip:I ran an OPA peer group for four wonderful people over four days in an Airbnb — deeply immersive, deeply draining, deeply wonderful. I gave everything I had and came out the other side genuinely moved. Then I went to the United Astrology Conference hotel, attended an OPA dinner where I got to see so many people I love, and recorded the Kepler College Book Club live from UAC with my friend Mary Gatterudz about my series book. That's on the Kepler College YouTube channel if you want a lively discussion. I also attended a pre-workshop run by Mark Jones — an English astrologer and former psychotherapist whose work I love — and finally got to meet him in person after Zoom-only connection.I didn't stay for the whole conference. 1,500 astrologers in a hotel is a little too peoply for me. But I learned something: I can go to the hotel, meet the people I want to see, and skip most of the lectures. The lectures are available to buy by recording anyway. The connection is the irreplaceable part.The OPA and The Professional Astrologer:If you're interested in becoming a more professional astrologer, I genuinely recommend OPA — the Organization for Professional Astrology. They run peer groups and mentorships, a consulting skills course, and an Astronomy for Astrologers course. What I love about their certification is that it's not a test of your techniques and knowledge — it's about how you actually work with clients. That's the whole thing.The new revised and expanded edition of The Professional Astrologer is out, and I have a chapter in it about writing for astrology. It covers everything from the power of peer groups to the pros and cons of practicing as both astrologer and psychotherapist, to the nuts and bolts of being financially viable. Worth getting a copy.Sphere and Sundry:In my gift bag from the pre-workshop was something I want to share: an essential oil by Sphere and Sundry — sphereandsundry.com. She makes what she calls talismanic materia — remedial-grade astrological elections using organic, wild-crafted ingredients and natural oils. She describes them as a good transit in a bottle. The one I received is Venus in Taurus 3, Amatory — and I genuinely feel this was meant for the Venus Retrograde class, given Venus is heading toward Scorpio and opposing Chiron in Taurus. I'll be using it. Worth checking out.Upcoming presentations:Atlanta Astrology Association, September 17th — I'm presenting on Ceres, and apparently first-time attendees can come free. Email me at louise@louiseedington.com if you'd like the invitation details. I believe it's at 7:30pm Eastern.OPA Live, September 20th — a panel of three astrologers on the Venus retrograde. A great way to hear more about the retrograde and decide if you'd like to join the class.London School of Astrology, Chiron Weekend, October 17th–18th — on Zoom, $99, and most of the proceeds go to charity. I've been recommended by Melanie Reinhart and Brian Clarke, which still makes me catch my breath. If you're interested in Chiron and what his first return to his discovery degree means, this is the weekend for you.Venus Retrograde: Heroine's Journey — we start October 1st. Three weeks and three days from when I'm recording this, and I still have slides to finish. The price remains at $397 for the basic seven-week, eight-call course. Dragon Rider adds a year of Spiral Codex membership, a 30-minute one-on-one reading with me, and a personally chosen gift I'll mail to you — all for $500 added on. First run since 2017, and it's grown considerably since then. This is not just an astrology class — it's a guided inner journey with meditations, healing tools, and more than a little magic. louiseedington.com/VenusRetrograde2026AstroTheoros has added a lot since I last mentioned them:* Terms and decans (multiple systems), zodiacal releasing, dasha (Vedic), perfections* Fixed stars, minor aspects, vertex, lots of fortune and spirit* Additional asteroids including Ceres and Haumea and Chariklo (yes!)* True/mean/oscillating Black Moon Lilith options, White Moon* Show and hide aspect lines* A way to add your own external AI assistants — they've made a conscious choice not to incorporate AI themselves, but for those who want to, they show you how* Chart copy as image in one click; lock chart; time travelCloud-based, works on any device.

I think it might be a little bit explosive. Watch for it.The Cards — A First GlanceFrom the Red Seeds Tarot, the Witch Oracle, and the Deck of Character (available to buy again — links in the description):The Hierophant reversed. The Fall. Eight of Torches reversed. The Story Keeper. The Shield.That set of five says everything about this week: the guru structure collapsing, the descent into the depths, the delays and darkness of the no-moon phase, the call to rewrite the story, and a practical shield for the extraordinary amount of information that's incoming. More at the end.The Astrology at a GlanceThis is possibly the biggest week since the basket peaked in July. On September 10th alone:* Venus enters Scorpio at 0° — the exact degree of her Cazimi/Star Point on October 23rd* Mercury enters Libra — swapping signs with Venus, both heading toward retrograde in Scorpio* Uranus stations retrograde at 5°41' Gemini* The Virgo New Moon is exact at 11:27pm Eastern (separate video — go watch it)Before that: the Moon occults Jupiter on September 8th at 15° Leo — a world point. An occultation is like an eclipse of Jupiter: the Moon literally passes across the face of the planet, hiding it. This is relatively rare, and what it passes over matters. It passes over Alaska, Canada, the USA, and Greenland.The nodes remain at 29° until October 9th. Hekate has moved back past the North Node. Venus reaches the anaretic degree of Libra. Uranus barely moves all week — it's standing still. The news will be off the charts. That's not hyperbole.Day by DaySunday, September 6 (the first day of the week)The Moon is out of bounds in Cancer — way out of bounds — and there aren't many major aspects, which makes the day quieter than what follows.Moon conjuncts Ceres — the Moon in its own sign, the Great Mother in the Moon's sign, saying together: self-care, nurture, family. I chose to come home early from Chicago rather than stay through the whole conference. The Moon conjunct Ceres was opposing my Saturn, and I listened. My second daughter got engaged this month (both daughters in August — family, family, family).Venus opposes Vesta in Aries — your inner flame, your focus and commitment, your devotion to your own identity in the world. Pay attention to what comes up around that.The Moon squares Saturn retrograde (letting go of more self-limiting beliefs), sextiles the Sun at 14° Virgo (past South Node and Regulus — we are moving, even if it doesn't feel that way yet), then crosses Asteroid Lilith and Mars in Cancer — talk to the hand; what aligned, protective, guardian action are we taking now?The Moon then squares Pallas Athena and trines Nessus — seeing the poisons more clearly, with strategy and pattern-recognition behind the seeing.Monday, September 7The Moon is still in Cancer, starting to come back in bounds but not quite there.Moon sextiles Mercury — emotions and mind integrating, coming into conversation. As we move into the dark of the moon, this is an invitation: bring your feeling and your thinking together. Let them inform each other.Moon squares Eris — more inner table-flipping. What old beliefs, assumptions, and perceptions need to be overturned within you? The outer tables are turning everywhere. The inner ones matter too.Moon opposes Juno in Capricorn — our sacred contracts with the structures we live under. What have we been living by? What new structures do we want to birth? Conservative in sign, but the opposition is pushing for something different.The Moon then makes a T-square to Vesta and Venus — everything pointing inward. What are you devoted to? What are you creating? And pay attention to what comes up around Venus territory (values, relationships, desires, justice) — she goes retrograde to 22° Libra, and you're walking that ground now.At 12:49pm Eastern, the Moon enters Leo — and immediately squares Chiron in Taurus. What medicine are you bringing into your heart and into your body?The Moon then opposes Pluto (the shadow to the surface, and then the buried treasure), trines Neptune (spiritual warrior energy, the felt sense of interconnection), and sextiles Uranus — which is almost at a complete standstill. Uranus barely moves all week. It's concentrating its energy at 5° Gemini.Tuesday, September 8 — The Jupiter Occultation at 15° LeoI need to give this one proper space.At 2:36pm Eastern, the Moon occults Jupiter at 15° Leo.Fifteen degrees of a fixed sign is a world point — a degree of collective significance, felt beyond the personal into the global. And an occultation is like an eclipse: the Moon literally passes directly across Jupiter, blocking it from view. Jupiter's expansive energy — the king, the expander, the judge, the natural law — is being hidden. Absorbed. Transformed.What does this mean? Some delay in expansion. Some pause in the opportunities that have been opening. But more than that: a transformative phase. The energy of Jupiter goes underground and re-emerges with new qualities. This is the king being taken behind closed doors for a reckoning.The path of this occultation passes over Alaska, Canada, the United States, and Greenland — countries that have presented themselves, historically, as the dominant voices in global affairs.And here is what I genuinely cannot make up: the day before, the UN voted to adopt the Equal Earth Map — a new global projection that more accurately represents the actual size of the world's continents. On this map, Africa is significantly larger than we've been taught. South America is bigger. The USA, Canada, Greenland, and Russia are smaller — a more truthful picture.The USA was the only country in the UN to vote against it.Jupiter is expansion. The occultation tracks over the countries whose mapped expansion has exceeded their actual size. The timing is extraordinary.Jupiter will meet the South Node in Leo three times as it heads toward it — the fall of kings, of superpowers, of the power-over paradigm that has organized so much of modern history. Things are evening out. We're watching it happen.After the occultation, the Moon trines Pallas Athena — the strategic warrior and pattern-seer. The Moon is back in bounds. The patterns are becoming visible.The Moon starts the day at 6° Leo — the discovery degree of Chariklo. Note that. And Mercury in Virgo trines Juno — sacred contracts looked at through the lens of stewardship, meaningful work, the humble desire to do the right thing rather than the right thing as performance.Wednesday, September 9 — Dark Moon. Moon at the Eclipse Degree. Moon Conjuncts South Node.We are entering the dark of the moon — the three-day no-moon phase before the Virgo New Moon on Thursday night.The Moon is in Leo, moving toward the Sun, getting within 30° of it. And it starts the day at 20° Leo — the exact degree of the August 12th Solar Eclipse.The Moon conjuncts Hygieia at that eclipse degree — holistic, preventative health. Then trines Pallas Athena, trines Vesta, sextiles Venus at the anaretic 29° Libra. Everything pressing toward the border crossing.At 3:17pm Eastern, the Moon conjuncts the South Node at 29° — the nodes holding that eclipse degree until October 9th, charged with everything that's unfolded since August 12th. The Moon — the people, the collective emotional body — meeting the drain of the old paradigm. Having just occulted Jupiter the king. Having just been at the eclipse degree. Having just moved through all those aspects.Fall of kings. Fall of leaders. Fall of the power-over paradigm. The Moon and the people conjunct the South Node at the degree of the eclipse.You literally cannot make this up.After the South Node conjunction, the Moon moves into Virgo and conjuncts Regulus — which happens every month now, as the Moon cycles through, but this month it carries the full weight of what's been building. And Venus, still at the anaretic 29°, simultaneously sextiles the South Node and trines the North Node — releasing and building simultaneously. She is leading. After her retrograde, she is heading for the Aquarius North Node. She already knows the destination.Hekate has moved back beyond the North Node into Aquarius, going back over the ground she needs to integrate before moving forward again.Thursday, September 10 — Sign Changes and a New MoonWhat a day. Honestly, what a day.At 4:06am Eastern, Venus enters Scorpio. At 0° Scorpio — the exact degree of her Cazimi/Star Point on October 23rd, the heart of her retrograde. She is stepping into the territory she will descend through, previewing the deepest point of her underworld journey. And this Star Point at 0° Scorpio is the last Scorpio Venus Star Point in our lifetimes — I believe the next isn't until 2177. It is also the star point return for the USA. Make of that what you will.The underground river of the Venus retrograde is flowing. You can feel it if you listen.The Virgo Moon squares Uranus — which is barely moving, preparing to station.Ceres opposes Pholus — where have our needs not been met? The lid is off. Pandora's box, again. Seeing what we needed to see so we can finally move forward.At 12:20pm Eastern, Mercury enters Libra — swapping with Venus in a kind of cosmic dance. Venus has left Libra; Mercury enters. Both are heading for Scorpio and retrograde. Both will station direct on November 13th — the same day. This is rare, and I'll go deep on what it means in the Venus retrograde class.Venus at 0° Scorpio opposes Chiron in Taurus — the axis of the entire retrograde. The wound and the medicine. What is our medicine for becoming fully human in a world that has forgotten it?At 2:27pm Eastern, Uranus stations retrograde at 5°41' Gemini. Five degrees — the number of change. Gemini — media, news, communication, information. Mercury at 0° Libra (a world point) as Mercury's own sign stations into retrograde. The news is going to be off the charts.The Sabian symbol for 6° Gemini (rounding up): Workmen drilling for oil. James Burgess says: an insatiable questing for knowledge and information that can take us deep into emotional process and the uncovering of dark secrets. A zealous appetite for knowledge and understanding.The Omega symbol (Sandbach): In the far north, an ancient tower carved of ice. The degree angel is Manakel — accountability and knowledge of good and evil. He says: you have so many thoughts and perceive so many ideas that it can become difficult to decide where to focus. Don't let this overwhelm you. Keep focused on the flow. There is a spiritual rightness at work beneath all things. The simple intent to stay attuned to it is your magic.The Chandra symbol: A claw foot holding a ball. The attempt to grasp wholeness, to overcome Gemini's fragmented quality — fixing the liquid into a substantial form from which you can ascend to see the surrounding territory. The struggle is not in trying to put things together. It's to resist the distractions of lesser and trivial things.The Pleiadian symbol: A sinkhole opens up in the earth. Things are collapsing.The Azoth symbol: A book of formulas. Astrology is a symbolic language, just as mathematics is, just as alphabets are. We are writing new stories. Which brings us to the Story Keeper arriving in the cards.At 11:27pm Eastern, the Virgo New Moon — exactly nine hours after Uranus stations retrograde. I've done a full separate video and post for this. Please watch it. But know that the new moon landing nine hours after Uranus's retrograde station, with Venus and Mercury both freshly in new signs, with the basket energy still active — this is not a quiet new moon. The seeds you plant tonight carry all of this.Friday, September 11 — 25th Anniversary. Venus Day.Rest in peace all who were lost on this day.The Moon is in Virgo, just minutes past the new moon, still in the no-moon phase. New lunar cycle beginning.The Moon sextiles Mars — what aligned action are we taking now? Not the push-push-push of unchecked ambition, but the stewardship energy, the guardian energy, the action that comes from genuinely wanting to be of service.The Moon opposes Nessus — still more poisons to be named and seen. But I don't think we're much longer in this. I really don't.Mars in Cancer squares Pallas Athena in Aries — they're moving apart, but Mars is still learning: less attack, more guardian. Less force, more protection. From within, this means the same. Talk to your inner Mars.The Moon trines Juno and then moves into Libra at 7:51pm Eastern.Saturday, September 12 — Moon Conjuncts Mercury. Air Kite. Cardinal Grand Cross.The Libra Moon conjuncts Mercury at 2°31' Libra — and note the degree: 2°31' Libra directly opposes the last Venus Star Point at 2° Aries (March 22, 2025). The previous Venus retrograde's deepest point, directly activated as the Moon and Mercury meet in the sign of balance and justice. Venus is reaching back through time, reminding us of what was seeded then, and asking: what has been growing since? What is ready to be harvested — or released?Balance, harmony, justice, scales — the Mercury-Moon conjunction in Libra is a fertile meeting of heart and mind in the sign that seeks fairness. There could be some genuinely good news today.The Moon trines Pluto (more shadows illuminated, more buried treasure found), opposes Neptune forming a kite, and trines Uranus still at its station point. Fire and air kite pointing at Neptune in Aries — the spirit of new beginning, the dissolution of the old, the love-thy-neighbor energy as the basis for everything we're trying to build.Juno squares Pallas Athena — our sacred contracts pressing against the wise strategy. For me, this is the table-flipping energy of Eris in a longer arc: where unfettered power-over and greed have caused harm to people, the contracts that maintained that are collapsing. And we can have something better. The form of things that's collapsing — in politics, in institutions, in how we organize society — was always imperfect. What we build next doesn't have to be.Mercury trines Pluto, then opposes Neptune, then trines Sedna and Uranus — an air kite closing the week. Rational understanding, shadow revealed, adapting to what needs to change, the breakthrough aha moments. Stay with it all. Let it sift.The week closes with the Moon squaring Pholus and Ceres and then opposing Saturn — a brief Cardinal Grand Cross, initiating. New things beginning. Something that was seeded at the new moon is putting out its first tentative root.The Cards in DetailThe Hierophant, reversed:The original Hierophant — one who reveals sacred things — was from the Eleusinian Mysteries. There was one male Hierophant and two female Hierophantides, appointed for life, who revealed divine knowledge to the initiates and welcomed them with the laws of the Mysteries: only those with pure hands and hearts could enter the rites.But in the last quarter of the Great Wheel — as the patriarchy rose, as the rites were co-opted, as direct access to the sacred was replaced by institutional intermediaries — the Hierophant became the one who stood between you and the divine.This card, reversed, is saying clearly: you have access to divine knowledge yourself. You do not need an intercessory. Let go of the attachment to gurus and external teachers as the gatekeepers of truth. You can challenge the tradition. Everyone — everyone — has access to the sacred within them.This arrives in the week that Jupiter is occulted, that the South Node continues its fall of kings, that the astrology community continues reckoning with its own pedestals. Make no mistake: the Hierophant reversed is speaking directly to all of it.The Fall:In this deck, this is Persephone going into the underworld — and that descent is what the rites at the Eleusinian Mysteries were really about: the fall of the soul into the orbit of the Moon, not as punishment, but as initiation.The patriarchy reframed the fall as shame — the fall from grace, the fall from perfection, the original sin. The real fall, as I understand it, was the descent into the patriarchal paradigm itself. And that is what's falling now.Persephone descending is Venus descending. The Venus retrograde is coming. The underground journey — done consciously, with guides, with courage — is not the fall from grace. It is the fall toward grace.Eight of Torches (Wands), reversed:In the dark of the moon, with Uranus at a standstill and so many signs changing simultaneously — yes, you may feel like you lack momentum. Delays, obstacles, nothing quite moving forward. That's the reversal.But here's what's actually happening: knowledge is being revealed to you. There is so much coming in this week — the occultation, the sign changes, the station, the new moon, the news. The work is to let it in without being overwhelmed. Receive it. Let it settle. When the moon starts to gain light — which it will, very shortly — you will be able to see more clearly.The Story Keeper (Witch Oracle):“You are made of moonlight and stories. The night and the trees know this. Which is why, when you need a change in your narrative, you would do well to seek their counsel.Some stories lift us up and encourage our potential, our inherent magic. Other stories limit, diminish, or destroy our worth. You are being asked right now to consider which stories you are listening to, and which ones you are telling.Telling yourself a story of empowerment will bring a surge of energy to you. Notice how your shoulders drop, your breath deepens, your heart warms. Telling yourself a story of scarcity or disempowerment leaves you tight, small, and cramped.While we are very selective about the books we read and the stories we watch on film, we are far less selective about the stories we tell ourselves. Now is the time to question the narratives you are allowing into the ear of your spirit. Are they helpful or hurtful?A witch acknowledges her stories of lack and frustration, but she chooses to focus on the ones that nurture her vitality.”This is the Azoth symbol of the week — the book of formulas. We are writing new stories. The Story Keeper asks: which one are you writing?The Shield (Deck of Character):This is an extra card this week, from a deck I love that's available to buy again — link in the description.It's the dark of the moon. A lot of information is incoming — the news around the Uranus station and the new moon is going to be significant. The Shield says: energetically, protect yourself. Not to deflect the knowledge — we need that — but to deflect the inconsequential things. Create a boundary so you can collect what matters, and let it sift in its own time. This is a big week. You don't have to process all of it in real time.Summing UpThe Jupiter occultation at a world point, tracking over countries whose global dominance is being rebalanced on the new world map. The Moon conjuncting the South Node at the eclipse degree, the people meeting the drain, having just occulted the king. Venus entering the exact degree of her coming Star Point in Scorpio — the last Scorpio Star Point in our lifetimes. Mercury entering Libra as Venus leaves, both heading toward their retrogrades and their simultaneous direct stations. Uranus stationing at the number of change in the sign of media and news. The Virgo New Moon nine hours later. A cardinal Grand Cross to close.The Hierophant reversed says: you have always had access to the sacred. You don't need anyone between you and it.The Fall says: Persephone's descent is not a punishment. It is an initiation.The Eight of Torches says: let the knowledge land. It's doing that right now.The Story Keeper says: question the narratives you're allowing into the ear of your spirit.And the Shield says: you are going to need good energetic boundaries this week. There is a spiritual rightness at work beneath all of this. Stay attuned to it.That is your magic.— LouiseVenus Retrograde: Heroine's Journey — starts October 1st. $397 for the full journey (payment plan available).

Cancer Full Moon • January 3, 2026 This Cancer Full Moon brings a powerful culmination and emotional reckoning as the Moon in Cancer opposes the Sun in Capricorn. This lunation highlights the polarity between care and control, nourishment and authority, feeling and responsibility. The Moon is strong in her home sign and conjunct Sirius, the spiritual Sun, heightening intuition, emotional truth, and higher guidance. Within hours, the Moon joins Jupiter in Cancer, amplifying compassion, emotional wisdom, and the potential for healing. Opposite the Moon, a rare Capricorn stellium—the Sun conjunct Mars and Venus, alongside Quaoar and Pholus—marks a rebalancing of divine masculine and feminine energies and reveals tipping points where small choices carry lasting consequences. A Cardinal Grand Cross, involving Salacia in Aries and Makemake in Libra, brings urgency, initiation, and the call to act differently. Meanwhile, Uranus conjunct Algol and Sedna exposes illusion, deception, and outdated survival patterns. This Full Moon invites emotional honesty, sovereign care, and the courage to integrate power with tenderness—personally and collectively.

The biggest supermoon of the year happens on Thursday morning. It's the first full moon of fall, the first lunation since eclipse season, and is the biggest and brightest moon this year.  This moon is known as the Hunter's Moon because this is the time of year when Native American tribes would be hunting, and stocking up on meat for the winter. Although we don't need to go hunting and gathering as much these days, this is still a great time to get ready for the winter months.  With this Full Moon in Aries, you'll probably feel the urge to prepare for winter too. As a fire sign, Aries brings the fire and assertive, "get shit done" energy. It's the first sign of the zodiac and brings new beginnings. This full moon in Aries is all about you. This is the time to put yourself first; consider it as filling your cup before helping others.  What makes this full moon so intense is that it's part of a Cardinal Grand Cross. A Cardinal Grand Cross looks like an X on a chart. It happens when 4 planets in cardinal signs form squares and oppositions. The Cardinal signs are the signs that mark the start of each season and zodiac phase. They bring in the energy of new beginnings and fresh starts. When they are in a Grand Cross like this, you'll feel like you must take immediate action. Everything is going to feel urgent. The Cardinal Grand Cross pushes us to make changes in areas where we've felt stuck. We'll feel like we must confront what's not working in our lives and fix it now.  We want to channel all this energy - that is so strong and full of potential - into doing something constructive and taking action.

This week is packed with big energies as Venus stations retrograde, Chiron stations retrograde, the Nodes of Fate have just entered Aries and Libra, and the Sun in Cancer opposes Pluto RX in Capricorn, also creating a Cardinal Grand Cross of creative tensions and new possibilities. Plus Mars in Virgo opposes Saturn RX in Pisces on July 20, bringing something to a standstill for a few days. The Sun moves into Leo on July 22, when Venus stations retrograde at 28 deg Leo and then Chiron stops at 19 deg Aries. Slowing down to be more intentional and conscious with your choices is very important right now. Much more to share in this week's podcast.   New! The Nodes of Fate move through Aries and Libra from July 2023 to January 2025, bringing energy and focus to where you are ready to grow into more of your true self. Let's dive into what this means for you personally as we explore the energies of Aries and Libra in your natal chart by expression, house placement, and previous cycles of growth. Please bring your astrology chart to this course. https://www.mollymccord.online/store/HxG5JyDy   .

The Sun moves through the last 10 degrees of Cancer season, bringing up more insights into your emotional process, private life, and internal needs in powerful ways as we build up to the Cancer New Moon on July 17. After the New Moon, the Sun in Cancer will experience an opposition to Pluto in Capricorn at 29 degrees, and a Cardinal Grand Cross with the Nodes of Fate at 29 degrees of Aries and Libra. Energies from your unconscious are becoming clearer and stronger so you can powerfully choose what no longer serves your well-being going forward. The Nodes move into Aries and Libra for the first time since 2004 to 2006, opening up new directions to follow and trust for the next 18 months.

Today I'm sharing an update on the planetary transits of the week. The Moon is about to complete a cardinal grand cross in the sign of Cancer, between the stellium in Capricorn, including Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn, the retrograde Mars in Aries and the Sun in Libra.

April & Jen celebrate 50 episodes together under a loud and ornery sky: A Last Quarter Moon in Cancer features a Cardinal Grand Cross, Mars takes a second swing at Pluto, Mercury faces off with Uranus, and the Sun squares Jupiter. (Venus, at least, makes a friendly trine to Uranus.) It’s a lot. But as Ted Lasso would say, “Hey, takin' on a challenge is a lot like ridin' a horse. If you're comfortable while you're doin' it, you're probably doin' it wrong.” Challenge accepted! Sign up for April's mailing list for updates, a free monthly lunar workbook, AND an email tutorial on the Lunar Phases!

Follow Big Sky Astrology on IG, Twitter, and FB @BigSkyAstrology Read a full transcript of this episode. Episode links: 00:30 – April and Jen are celebrating gold this week as they welcome imaginary sponsor Apple TV+ and their new favorite show Ted Lasso! . 04:01 – Mercury opposes Uranus (Oct. 7) on the Sabian symbol for 8 degrees Scorpio, “The Moon shining across a lake.” The planet of disruption is on 8 Taurus, “A sleigh without snow.” This aspect encourages you to see things in a new way, and perhaps have a change in perspective. It could also indicate unexpected information that comes your way or innovative thinking! This is a continuation of a cycle that began on April 30. (To hear more about Mercury in Scorpio, listen to Episode 48, The Libra Equinox & Mercury Goes Sleuthing.) . 06:55 – Do you happen to have planets in Aries or Scorpio? Then you might feel issues of fighting for power and control when Mars, travelling backwards through Aries, fights Pluto in Capricorn (Oct. 9) in the second of three opening squares. (To hear about the first square, listen to Episode 38, Taurus Last Quarter Moon – but wait, there’s S’more!) But first… . 08:07 – …Mars will have just squared the point where Saturn and Pluto joined up in January. We’re at a pivotal moment in that cycle: There is frustration involved, and that sensitive point (22.47 Capricorn) has been asking us all year, “How are we going to break down and build up old forms, old structures?” Hint: Making progress means accepting the limits of our personal power and control. (Mars and Pluto met up on March 22/23. Listen to Episode 17, Saturn in Aquarius: All in This Together to learn more.) . 11:41 – ** MOONWATCH! ** This week brings a Last Quarter Moon (LQM) at 17.10 Cancer (Oct. 9). And welcome to the circus wheel: A Cardinal Grand Cross involving half the planets in the solar system! Take heed: Be careful how hard you push. Once that wheel starts spinning, it can be hard to stop it. . 15:20 – How do we resolve Grand Cross tension? Find planets in supportive roles. Translation: Channel the higher side of Neptune by making art, meditating, or playing music. Or, follow April’s mom’s advice (and focus on Venus in Virgo) by cleaning one drawer! . 17:38 – This LQM is a closing quarter in a phase family that began in July 2018, at 21 Cancer. That New Moon was also a solar eclipse. If you have anything in your chart between 16 – 25 of Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn… well, heck. It’s getting a lot of energy right now! (Curious how to find where this falls in your chart? You know we got you, podpals!) . 19:04 – Venus in Virgo makes a lovely aspect to Uranus in Taurus (Oct. 10). Could this transit bring unexpected windfalls or exciting developments in money or relationships? It’s possible. It’s also possible that your cat will drag a neon green blanket into your general vicinity! . 22:38 – Which tends to be easiest: an opposition, a square, or a conjunction? . 23:10 – The Sun makes a closing square to Jupiter in Capricorn (Oct. 11) on the Sabian symbol for 19 Libra, “A gang of robbers in hiding.” It’s interesting to note that for the LQM, the Sun was on the symbol “Two men placed under arrest.” Hmmm… if you’ve been living out of integrity with yourself – especially related to your ethics and beliefs – this could indicate a time of reckoning and a time to account for yourself. And with Mercury swimming through Scorpio, perhaps it’s time for secrets to be revealed. What are your highest aspirations for yourself? (To hear more about the Sun/Jupiter meet-up, listen to our most popular episode ever Episode 5, Unboxing Eclipses.) . 25:23 – A few weeks back, Mercury made some promises while doing recon for the Sun. Now the Sun is following in the communication planet’s footsteps. Will the Sun fulfill those promises? He might be tired of signing autographs. (And head’s up: Mercury will be turning retrograde next week! Yes, again.) . 29:00 – Thanks to everyone for listening! Venus in Virgo is giving you a small to-do list: Please go ahead and give us a 5-star rating, subscribe wherever you listen, and/or give us a kind review. This episode is brought to you by Podathon donor KATIE SERDA! Thank you, Katie, for contributing to our Podathon!

Astrology of the Aries New Moon 2019. Rebirth! Listen to Jen and Lou rap about the upcoming Aries New Moon on April 5th 2019 at 9.51 am UTC, the end of the first Mercury Rx of the year and the Cardinal Grand Cross.  We are being rebirthed after a long period of release and integration and there is a lot of change coming in the lead in to the New Moon harking back to the early part of October 2018.     

Today the Scorpio New Moon marks the rhythmic moment in time to open ourselves up to setting new intentions. With the Sun and Moon trining Neptune, we are especially in touch with our dreams in the dream and waking state. With Venus Retrograde in Libra opposite Uranus in Aries and squaring the Nodes in Cancer and Capricorn forming a Cardinal Grand Cross, relationships are still moving through major shifts this month. This New Moon, there is also a Grand Trine between Jupiter in Scorpio, Chiron in Pisces and the Cancer North Node. Learn more about the significance of these transits in combination with Venus Retrograde in Libra trining Mars in Aquarius. Tap into the nature of Scorpio and the energies at hand to enliven your New Moon intentions by listening to today’s astrology horoscope. Hear the Rune of the day and Stevie's intuitive tips that help you live in alignment now and always.

In this episode, Life Path Catalyst and Intuitive Astrologer, Louise Edington, talks about the energies of the upcoming week. We are entering Eclipse season and this week is a culmination of things that were begun in April with the Eclipses then and the Cardinal Grand Cross. Louise will guide you to navigate the tremendous forces […]

September brings the Harvest Moon and the Libra Equinox. This is the time of the year to gather the fruits of labor sprouting from seeds planted the past 6 months since the March Equinox and Cardinal Grand Cross. The ‘weighing scales’ of the Libra Equinox restores balance within and without. It is the sign of relationships and harmony. The Sun in Libra motivates us to build bridges and create a balanced exchange with others. As the old world fades away, a new world comes to flower. Focus on the light during the Libra Equinox Stargate to birth alive your divine destiny. Join other Starseeds and Lightworkers in a United Field of Intention to seed and create our new 5D earth!

An active Mars in powerful Scorpio sextiles Pluto in Capricorn as the weekend begins. Mars In Scorpio is a major theme with August aspects to Jupiter (square), trines to Chiron and Neptune and will finally end up conjunct Scorpio Saturn later this month. These aspects can feel stressful on a personal level because Scorpio will always engage our deepest emotional yearnings and there is always temptation to act and resolve issues in a distorted fashion such as power over games or playing the betrayor. We also have the Sun and Mercury entering analytical Virgo this week. Finally, The influence of Jupiter's waxing inconjunct to Neptune remains and the lifelong search for new levels of truth is enhance by this transit.

I am rerunning a show I did on the cross tonight because we are still in the intense energies of the Cardinal Grand Cross that was in the sky awhile back.   Let's look at the cross as a symbol in our culture and see if we can get a different perspective about it.  And listen all the way through, because you will want to hear about the hologram! Next Sunday night I will do the show on Apologetics. www.marcyann.com www.mrrightforme.com

Last week's Lunar Eclipse connects with the once-in-a-lifetime Cardinal Grand Cross that locks into place on April 23rd. We are in the midst of revolutionary astrology this month, the activation of the Quantum Gateway to the New 5D Earth hologram. Starting on Tuesday, April 22nd and into Wednesday, April 23rd we will experience Mars in Libra move into position at 13 degrees - forming an exact square to Jupiter in Cancer, an opposition to Uranus and a square to Pluto. All four planets will be linking in a perfect cross formation with Earth suspended in the middle. The Grand Cross also forms a karmic link with the United States Sun in 13 degrees Cancer (natal chart), triggering ripples thru the collective consciousness. Join other Starseeds and Lightworkers in the New Earth Show, hosted by Meg Benedicte & Manette Mays - for a special broadcast the day of the Cardinal Grand Cross - Wednesday, April 23rd. Participate in group activations, clearings, and balancing - as we respond to the energies of the day. Meg will take Callers questions and requests for healing/balancing. We have reached a Cosmic Seed-Moment to transform a dying era, to plant and harvest the new 5D Earth for all Souls to experience. Step into your Soul Shoes and actively shift the world paradigm now!

Mercury in Aries' excitability will certainly agitate the Cardinal Grand Cross this week. As we examine and feel our way towards solutions to all the relating themes at home and at work, the last thing we want to hear just might be the busybody chatter of some blowhard that cannot shut up. Frustrations like this will let us know that more Soulwork is yet to be done. With Pluto now stalled on the Grand Cross (and retrograde till fall) deep reviews of recent power struggles and how we feel about authority figures are on tap. The Lunar Eclipse will actually be visible to our American audience in the wee hours of April 15th. This adds a stormy intensity for sure. Remember, if you are manifesting some ordeal or mini-crash it is divinely orchestrated to overturn the status quo and move you forward. Join the Pluto Retrograde Cap webinar and our Astro Library subscriptions are 25% off until April15.

The way we currently view our relationships to each other and the world will most certainly change between now and the end of April. Aries New Moon activates the cardinal t-square and we must hold back impulses to burst out in lieu of a more considered enthusiasm for our work and creations. Sparks will fly. Venus aspects both Mars and Saturn retrograde adding fuel to the fire. This weekend will be an opportune time to feel this strong and inspired energy that will propel us forward the rest of this year.

Astro Highlights is sponsored by http://www.HealthMasterySystems.com holistic products for Body, Mind and Soul and http://www.PurePlantEssentials.com organic aromatherapy please visit these website today. ....On today’s show besides giving you the Full Moon report KG also talks about the Cardinal Grand Cross being activated by the planet Mars as it Squres Uranus, Opposes Pluto and Squares Saturn over the next 3 weeks. You might want to write down these dates. Mars in Cancer Squares Uranus in Aries on August 9th, Opposes Pluto in Capricorn on August 10th and Squares Saturn in Libra on August 25th. In a moment I’ll talk more about the Cardinal Grand Cross and what you can expect and how to make the most of the energies. ....During this time we are also in a 3 week Mercury retrograde period that started on August 2nd and ends on August 26th. ....Amidst this heavenly ruckus is our Aquarius Full Moon which is giving completion and birth to whatever we’ve had our attention focused on over the past two weeks and on a grander scale over the past six months since the Aquarius New Moon in February. ....The Aquarius Full Moon is an ideal time to review your intentions and plans you activated at the time of the last New Moon or at the Aquarius New Moon. Celebrate your accomplishments with a full moon ceremony by lighting a white candle, writing down all that you’ve completed and give thanks. Acknowledging all those who have helped you along your way both seen and unseen. ....Perhaps there are things left still to be completed, or you’ve decided there are things that are not serving your long term goals. You may want to perform a releasing and letting go ceremony. A Ho’oponopono ritual is always helpful for forgiving and being at peace with the past, allowing yourself to heal and move on. ....You can find a free podcast download of a Ho’oponopono Forgiveness Meditation available on my website at https://www.kgstiles.com in our CD and Podcasts section. ....The Aquarius full moon is at 21º Aquarius on Saturday, August 13th exact at 11:57am Pacific. ....The Aquarius full moon represents the Visionary in your life. Your ability to download creative ideas will be greatly enhanced at this time, especially with Mercury’s retrograde through Leo the sign of creativity, fun and romance. Your intuitions are now off the charts. Trust your gut and follow your intuitive hunches to navigate the potential rough white waters during the Cardinal Grand Cross period. ....Let’s talk about the Cardinal Grand Cross opportunities available for you. A Grand Cross is very much about the Death of the Egoic Mind as it realizes it does not control what happens in life. We are part of and one with Life as it moves and lives through us. We do not control Life but we can influence life by learning how to act in accordance with our highest good and manage our own energy system to respond creatively to all life circumstances to influence circumstances from a relaxed, calm, centered and trusting space within ourselves. Knowing that we are always perfectly guided through life. As Norman Vincent Peale said, You must "Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture. Do not build up obstacles in your imagination." ....The Cardinal Grand Cross Energies are about taking control, responsibility and leadership of your own self. Being the Captain of your Soul. Rather than playing out Victim and Scapegoat patterns in your life. The Cardinal Grand Cross activation by Mars shakes you up to realize how your choices are creating the circumstances of your life. ....As Mars squares Uranus on August 9th there could be sudden tension, and pressures that surface needing release. Keep breathing and focus your attention on what is trying to be birthed at this time. Perhaps there’s an old pattern that does not serve you that you need to finally deal with and put to rest by energizing how you want things to go for you from here on out and take appropriate actions to set new patterns of behavior that will help you achieve your desires. Look in the areas of your astrology chart to see where opportunities for change are being catalyzed. ....When Mars opposes Pluto on August 10th you may become aware of a deep dark passion, or secret about yourself that you’ve hidden from your self, or been in denial about that needs to be cleansed and healed. Stand in your Truth and Trust that you will be guided through the process of healing. ....Perhaps you’ll commit to a meditation program or exercise routine, and change a lifestyle habit that lowers your feelings of self worth like habitual smoking, or drinking, gossip or an inability to stand up for yourself and speak your truth no matter what others think. You may find that it’s not what you say, but the way you speak your truth that gets the desired support and acceptance by others. Look in your astrology chart to locate the areas of your life up for illumination and change for the better. ....When Mars Squares Saturn on August 25th your drive to take assertive action and your inner voice of authority for taking control and giving structure are clashing to bring about needed change for improvement in the areas of your life where these planets are located. Resistance could activate the negative side of the vibration and put you in fear, panic and excessive aggression. ....If the opportunities for change being offered by Mars’ activation of the Cardinal Grand Cross are projected onto others or resisted then there will be an intensification of the energies at play and dramatic repercussions could certainly result on personal, and collective levels of our life. ----The pressures for changing your habitual patterns of victimization will come in waves as we transition through the transformation process the Cardinal Grand Cross represents and birth a whole new way of being and living our life individually and collectively. ....Today’s Astro Highlights ends on a sweet note. Venus and the Sun will be holding hands in a close conjunction in Leo from August 7th through the 27th when their conjunction begins to widen. Mercury joins the party in its retrograde dance as it swirls around the pair from August 15th to the 19th. Open your heart and enjoy the party. ....We end the month on an especially sweet note as the Virgo New Moon forms a Grand Earth Trine with Jupiter in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn perfect for manifesting your desires and enjoying earthy pleasures. ....Thanks so much for joining me.

Astro Highlights FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN FORECAST. On today's show KG also talks about continuing activation of the 3 Eclipses recently experienced, as well as the Cardinal Grand Cross that’s heating up through August and the building pressures from the square that’s forming between Pluto, the planet of regeneration and healing and Uranus, the planet of sudden revolution and unexpected change.....Astro Highlights is brought to you by HTTP://WWW.PUREPLANTESSENTIALS.COM organic aromatherapy. MUSIC "INNER LIGHT" PROVIDED BY JONATHAN GOLDMAN available at HTTP://WWW.HEALINGSOUNDS.COM .....The Capricorn full moon is at 22º Capricorn on Thursday, July 14th at 11:40pm Pacific. The moon will go void of course exactly at the time of the full moon, so you’ll want to plan to complete any full moon ritual by the Full Moon to make the most of its powerful celestial energies. The Capricorn full moon represents power and authority in your life. What has power and authority over you that needs to be released. You may also experience rewards and recognition for your achievements at this time. The Capricorn Full Moon marks the culmination of a 6 month cycle that began with the Capricorn Solar Eclipse back at the first of January of this year.....This full moon is especially potent because it’s exactly opposite the Cancer Lunar Eclipse that occured on July 1st. Review the past six months of your life and recognize and celebrate all that you’ve accomplished. If you set New Moon Intentions at the time of the Solar Eclipse last January review them and note what you’ve accomplished and where you may be feeling stuck, or in need of revision of your plans, and making course corrections. If you’re feeling stuck your Capricorn Full Moon ritual may include releasing old patterns, and situations, people or things you’ve outgrown that are not working for you.....The series of 3 Eclipses we just experienced will be reactivated by the moon each month as it cycles through the zodiac over the next 6 months. For instance the 11º Gemini Solar Eclipse will be re-activated every time the Moon crosses 11º Gemini which occurs the first time on June 28th and approximately every 27-28 days after that. The 24º Sagittarius Full Moon Lunar Eclipse which was the longest Full Lunar Eclipse experienced in 100 years will be re-activated for the first time on the 12th of July and there after every 27-28 days for the next six months. And finally the 9º Cancer Solar Eclipse that occurs on July 1st gets re-activated on the 27th of July and there after every 27-28 days for the next 6 months. Notice these days when an Eclipse is re-activated as you are very likely to receive a cosmic green light to move forward and advance your position on the game board of life. This opportunity for advancement may come as the result of having released a block or something you’ve outgrown.....Many of the changes being activated by the 3 Eclipses have to do with upgrades in your thinking and letting go of mental attitudes and beliefs. Networking opportunities are likely, as are opportunities for self nurturance and setting healthy boundaries if you’re ever to experience fulfillment of your life purpose.....On June 26th we began to feel the Cardinal Grand Cross between the planets Saturn in Libra, Pluto in Capricorn, Uranus in Aries and the Sun & Mercury in Cancer. In July the planet Venus and in August the planet Mars will cross over the Cardinal Grand Cross point as they move through the sign of Cancer.....As Pluto and Uranus near within 1º orb of an exact square to one another in July the pressure continues to build with an intense feeling of something’s got to give. The challenge with Cardinal planets is that everyone wants to be first and be the leader, no one wants to compromise. As things fall apart at the seams no one seems to notice as everyone is too busy defending they’re position, not noticing that there’s nothing left to disagree about or to defend. It’s all gone! Expect sudden, unexpected turns of events. My guides say if you want to survive and thrive in the coming age being birthed through this cosmic turn of celestial events, keep your eyes on what’s surfacing, not on what’s falling apart. The pressures will ease, come and go, in waves as we enter the transition phase of the birthing process of a new galactic age.....We end 2011 with another pair of Eclipses. It’s rare to have 7 Eclipses in a calendar year and we will not experience so many again for at least another 15 years. The first is a Solar Eclipse at 2º Sagittarius on November 24th which happens to be Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. This marks the seeding of a new awareness that can now take place after the clearing away and breakthrough opportunities we have experienced over the past six months. The second Lunar Eclipse at 18º Gemini is on December 10th. I’ll talk more about these Eclipses on a future Astro-Highlights.....Thanks so much for joining us!
