An energetic Full Moon in Gemini is influenced by scrappy Mars; Mercury and Venus leave “sky is the limit” Sagittarius for “buckle down and focus” Capricorn; and this week's Void-of-Course Moon periods are short and happy. And April deploys an automotive metaphor to answer a listener question about transits affecting several planets close together in your chart. Plus: Helpful conflict, the pleasures of productivity, and the Pope. Already looking ahead to 2023? Join April's webinar on “Making the Most of 2023” on Sat. Dec. 10 at noon Pacific time!

Big Sky Astrology on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube Timestamps [1:08] Mercury (29°3' Sagittarius) squares Jupiter in Pisces on December 5th at 11:05 pm PST. Mercury is on the Sabian symbol 30 Sagittarius, The Pope and Jupiter is on 30 Pisces, The Great Stone Face. See if you can find a way to integrate the image you present and what you may be growing into internally. [2:38] Mercury enters Capricorn on December 6th at 2:08 pm PST and will be in this sign until February 11, 2023. Mercury's extended stay in Capricorn is due to its retrograde period (Dec. 29, 2022-Jan. 18, 2023). Use Capricorn's steadfast focus on a project that you've been wanting to complete, but leave room for variations to occur. [3:43] Moon Report! The Gemini Full Moon is on December 7th at 8:08 pm PST, at 16°01' Gemini. This Full Moon illuminates the intentions we may have set during the New Moon at 9° Gemini on May 30, 2022. This is also the Full Moon of the Lunar Phase Family that began on June 10, 2021 at 19°47' Gemini. (If you need help finding the Gemini area of your natal chart, April's instructional blog post and video might help.) [7:12] This Gemini Full Moon will closely conjoin Mars (Gemini 16°07'). Look out for relational conflicts that may ultimately prove helpful. The Sun, Moon and Mars also apply to a square to Neptune at 22°39' Pisces. It's time to take off those Neptunian rose-colored glasses and face the music. [10:02] Void-of-Course Moon periods (VOC). On December 6th, the Moon (Taurus 29°04') sextiles Jupiter at 11:02 am PST. It will be VOC for almost two hours before entering Gemini at 12:49 pm PST. Albeit brief, this lovely aspect would be an excellent time to give form to your big ideas. [11:05] The Moon (Gemini 29°11) squares Jupiter in Pisces on December 8th at 10:13 pm PST. The Moon will be VOC for just about an hour and a half before it enters Cancer at 11:49 pm PST. This combination might behave like Mercury is retrograde, so back up your devices! [11:50] On December 11th at 10:49 am PST, the Moon at 29°20' Cancer trines Jupiter in Pisces. This short but sweet VOC period will last just a little under an hour and a half before the Moon enters Leeeeeooooo at 12:09 pm PST. Bring on those snuggly, domestic bliss vibes. [12:42] The Sun makes its exact opposition to Mars on December 7th at 9:42 pm PST at 16°5' of Sagittarius and Gemini. This is an important point in the Sun-Mars cycle that began with their conjunction in October of 2021. Take note of the changes you've seen and lessons you have learned. [14:16] On December 9th, Venus (Sagittarius 29°12') squares Jupiter in Pisces at 4:55 am PST. Later that day, Venus enters Capricorn at 7:54 pm PST, echoing Mercury's transits from earlier in the week. What can you create during this last month of 2022 to leave this year feeling happier and better prepared for 2023? [16:38] Listener Kelly asks about stelliums and orbs (April also covered orbs on Ep. 116). Road-tripping Cousin Maude likes to rock out! Here are links to free copies of Donna Cunningham's The Stellium Handbook Part One and Part Two.

April and Jen take an astrological look at the events of January 6 here in the U.S., including Pluto inching ever closer to its 2022 return in the U.S. chart. And as Inauguration Day approaches, we give some side-eye to the unpredictable combination of Mars and Uranus, and a Taurus First Quarter Moon overflowing with tension. In other news, Sun enters Aquarius and joins up with Saturn; plus Mars and Jupiter face off (again). Plus: honoring Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

Episode links: 00:30 – April and Jen, recording on Jan. 11 for this Martin Luther King, Jr. Day episode, break down the astrology of the siege on the US Capitol - with Mars at the very end of Aries - and another big week on tap. And while we’re at it… . 03:26 – …Are recent events here in the US uncovering more of the US Pluto Return, peeking out from under the blanket fort? (See Episode 29, Neptune Washing Over All, and the US Pluto Return for our first discussion on this topic.) . 05:18 – The Sun enters Aquarius (Jan. 19), so grab your favorite group of people and work together toward a long-range goal! Plus, between Feb. 9-11, six planets will be in Aquarius! (To hear all about why Charlie Brown is on Team Aquarius, revisit Episode 9, It's Aquarius Season, Charlie Brown!

(BTW, Inauguration Day changed from March to January in 1937.) This meet-up happens on the Sabian symbol, “A woman of Samaria,” a biblical story that speaks of reaching out to someone with different beliefs than you. . 11:58 – ** MOONWATCH! ** Also on Inauguration Day, we have a powerful First Quarter Moon at 1.02 Taurus (Jan. 20) on the symbol, “An electrical storm.” The Sun sits in Aquarius, “An unexpected thunderstorm” – two evocative symbols with a lot of tense energy in the chart. . 14:15 – Mars, at 7.59 Taurus, squares Jupiter in Aquarius (Jan. 22). Are we pushing the limits too much? This is the last of 3 opening squares in a cycle that began March 20 (Episode 17, Saturn in Aquarius: All in This Together). The other 2 squares were Aug. 4 (Episode 37, Full Moon in Aquarius & Many Happy (Solar) Returns) and Oct. 18 (Episode 52, A Scorpio Season of Long Shadows & Fellowship). . 17:09 – The Sun gets squished into a container as it meets Saturn at 4.20 Aquarius (Jan. 23) on the Sabian symbol, “A council of ancestors.” Who are people in your life that have some wisdom to offer you? . 20:34 – Helpful info to cope with stress, incoming: a free 8-week Science of Happiness course from UC-Berkeley that offers practical tips on living a meaningful life, articles on 7 Ways to Stop Negative Thoughts & 10 Coping Strategies for Anxiety, and some useful podcast episodes from Brene Brown & the Science of Happiness. (FYI, we don’t get any $$ from sharing this; just take them if they feel right to you!) . 20:53 – April’s quote of the week, “We don’t grow wise just because we grow old.” Perhaps the Sun/Saturn aspect is urging us to try to gain wisdom this week, even in difficult times. Who is your “council of ancestors” that you feel a connection to, and who can you learn from, regardless of age? . 23:28 – Thanks, podpals!

Episode 86. Full Moons are often pictures in horror films as something to be feared. While they can amp up emotions (the word lunatic comes from luna), the Full Moon is actually a good time to let go. It symbolizes the culmination of work already done. You'll learn that there is absolutely nothing to fear when the Moon is full. Book mentioned in this episode: The Moon in Your Life: Being a Lunar Type in a Solar World by Donna Cunningham.
This week I am quoting from Donna Cunningham's fab book The Consulting Astrologer's Guidebook on how to talk with people. Her (wonderful) book is still available here https://www.abebooks.com/book-search/title/consulting-astrologers-guidebook/author/donna-cunningham/ She calls it: 'talking to various planetary types.' If you want to, you can find out if you're an Uranian type by taking her 'test' here on her blog https://skywriter.wordpress.com/2010/02/06/how-strong-is-your-uranus-heres-the-score/ Please note Donna died in 2017 :(

Recorded in the autumn of 2007, this archived interview with the late astrologer Donna Cunningham years before her death, illustrates how accurate her thoughts on Pluto were then and continue to be today. With so much death, destruction, and turmoil sweeping the planet in recent months, this observation of the power of Pluto is more relevant than ever. Pluto is about destruction and reconstruction for the better good of any entity or individual. As we scan our screens we see this unfolding all around us. The United States in particular is approaching its Pluto return which seems to literally occurring as we live and breathe today, How prescient Cunningham's thoughts are today.

Pluto is one of the most powerful of planets. His influence often extends for decades and he rarely leaves a sign without leaving some sort of lesson. As this pesky planet heads into Capricorn for the first time in roughly 248 years, we will see quite a bit of deconstruction and reconstruction on the social, political, environemtal, and spiritual realm. This is a planet whose influence is widely regarded as immemently profound and meaningful. Listen as Chris Flisher interviews astrologer Donna Cunningham who has written extensively about the mighty planet of Pluto.
We kick off another Inside Music Row with the mention of Trace Adkins as he has been tapped as the spokesperson for the 2012 American Red Cross Holiday Giving Campaign. Also in the news is Tracy Lawrence as his hometown has recently honored him with "Tracy Lawrence Day" and the first ever "Wilson County Humanitarian Award." Up next is the country Music Association and their effort to "Keep The Music Playing" in public schools - Dierks Bentley recently visited a school in the Bronx to talk to the kids about the importance of music and keep engaged in school. A big congratulations goes out to Allen Karl and Donna Cunningham for their second consecutive number one hit on the European Country Music Association's Country Radio Chart. Their hit "Your Name Is On My Lips Again" hit the top spot overseas this summer following in the footsteps of their successful duet "Jesus Heard Every Word." Finally, we go Inside The Song with Josh Turner to hear about "Punching Bag," which he wrote with Pat McLaughlin.
Our featured artist of the week is Donna Cunningham, who began singing as a child, enamored with the sounds of traditional country artists. In her music career, she's made a name for herself in her home state of Ohio, and is now making waves internationally. We caught up with Donna to hear all about her journey through country music.
Every once iin a while, two artist come together unexpectedly to create wonderful music together. Allen Karl and Donna Cunninghma have their own solo country careers, however, they knew that together...they could make an incredible gospel project. We caught up with Allen and Donna in the studio here in Nashville to hear all about "Jesus Heard Every Word."
