Before We Dive InWriting and Recording this on September 10th — the day of the new moon, in the dark. I have absolutely no get-up-and-go. The aspects this week are going to pick that up. But right now: very on-brand for the dark moon that I am recording in it.A few important things before we get to a week that is genuinely significant.Venus Retrograde: Heroine's Journey — I need to say something I've been sitting with. This is the seventh time I've run this class since 2017. Seven Saturn squares, seven chakras. It feels like a completion cycle, and there's a real possibility this is the last time I run it in this form. I feel immense shifts happening within me and within my work. If you have been thinking about joining, please do not wait. This one is particularly potent. I am working on the slides right now. The last time we had a Retrograde in Scorpio was 2028. That was my second class and I remember it as life changing for me and attendees. louiseedington.com/VenusRetrograde2026What you get: seven weeks, eight calls (all recorded), a course portal with pre-work videos, slides in color and black-and-white, materials you can keep. And the class itself is not just astrology — it's a heroine's journey, guided meditations that retrieve lost parts of yourself, a regeneration journey, healing tools. We follow the myth of Persephone, Demeter, and Hades, alongside Inanna, through the Venus cycle. This is the last Scorpio Venus Star Point in our lifetimes. We start October 1st.Dragon Rider tier adds a year's membership in my Spiral Codex community (beginning after the class), a 30-minute one-on-one session with me, and a personalized gift from Otter Spirit chosen based on your chart energy.Price stays at $397. I had been considering raising it — I'm not.For other presentations please see the end of the email. The Overall EnergyWe are in the week following the Virgo New Moon, the Venus sign change, the Mercury sign change, and Uranus stationing retrograde — all of which happened on September 10th. The nodes are still parked at 29° Leo/Aquarius until October 9th. The entire Aries stellium remains retrograde: Neptune, Manwë, Saturn, Pallas Athena, Eris, and Vesta. And Chiron — who has been visiting Taurus — returns to Aries on Thursday.Venus has passed the Star Point degree of 0° Scorpio that she will return to at the Cazimi on October 23rd. She is heading into the underworld, and this week's occultation — the last Moon-Venus gate before she goes retrograde — is the pivotal moment.The Cards — A First GlanceFrom the Red Seeds Tarot by Linda Hill (Etsy, UK) and the Witch Oracle by Angie Sullins: Death (I Am Transition), Three of Torches, Seer of Torches reversed, and Lady of Perpetual Rebirth.The Death card and the Lady of Perpetual Rebirth bookending the week, with the Three of Torches (enthusiasm picking up) and the Seer reversed (not yet feeling your inner divinity, but the reminder to look) in between. Perfect for a week whose centrepiece is a Venus occultation at 2° Scorpio conjunct Haumea. More at the end.Day by DaySunday, September 13 — Moon in Libra. Air Grand Trine. Pallas Athena and Asteroid Lilith Square Off.We open the week with the Moon in Libra — balance, justice, how we relate, the scales.The Moon sextiles Jupiter in Leo. Jupiter was occulted by the Moon just last week at 15° Leo — the king hidden behind closed doors for transformation. Now the Moon, having moved all the way to Libra, reaches back with this fire-and-air sextile. A few more leaders with overblown egos will fall. It's time to rule from the heart. Jupiter will go retrograde in Leo and pass back over that territory. The transformation of what Jupiter represents is ongoing.The Moon squares Asteroid Lilith — who is being overtaken by Mars (in Cancer, moving forward) but is not finished. She is saying clearly: we are not going back. We are starting to move into the new paradigm. Things are starting to change.The Moon opposes Pallas Athena — the pattern-seer, the wise strategist, whose grey eyes see everything and nothing escapes them. We are starting to see the patterns more clearly now. And then Pallas Athena squares Asteroid Lilith directly — these two warriors in conversation. Pallas Athena with her strategy, Asteroid Lilith with her original equality: I was created from the same dirt. Equal. And it's time we worked from that. Restore balance.The Moon squares Mars in Cancer (more things falling or collapsing, the Libra Moon pressing for action and balance through cardinal signs) and then Ceres is opposed by Black Moon Lilith — the Great Mother and the shamed, hidden, elemental feminine in tension. Ceres is saying: move within. Take care of all your needs, met and unmet. Find what genuinely feeds you. Restore wholeness. And from that wholeness, you are more able to help create the new paradigm we're moving into.The Moon then makes a beautiful air grand trine to Hekate and Chariklo in Aquarius — the torchbearer and the cosmic doula, the way-shower and the grace-spinner, both in the sign of the future, the collective, the innovative. Ideas, new patterns, communication, social interaction — all of these weaving the new story. The path forward is through integration, through the Aquarian future, through humanitarianism and genuine care for each other.The Moon squares Juno (about to station direct — more on that Wednesday) and opposes Eris and Vesta — table-flipping and inner flame in tension with the scales of balance. Flip the inner tables first. And finally: Mars in Cancer trines Nessus — a water trine, leaching out the ancestral poisons, the old toxic patterns. Like bloodletting: get rid of them. They are holding us back.Mercury in Libra trines Uranus — an air trine at degrees very close to the first basket peak in July. Innovative new ideas. New thought, new inventions, aha moments. We are having collective awakenings in multiple ways simultaneously.I've been reading Nietzsche — Thus Spoke Zarathustra. His “God is dead” was not triumphalism; he meant that we, collectively, have killed the concept. And I find I'm glad we're moving away from the monotheistic, external, patriarchal God toward finding divinity within — moving away from intercessories. Which connects directly to the Hierophant reversed we had last week. The contracting is happening at every level.Monday, September 14 — The Venus Occultation. The Last Gate. The House-Raising Party.This is the day I most want to give space to.The Moon enters Scorpio and first opposes Chiron in Taurus before Chiron returns to Aries on Thursday. Scorpio digs deep; Chiron shows where the light gets in — the wounds around greed, materialism, our severed relationship with the senses and the earth. What does it mean to restore that balance? This is an ongoing excavation.The Sun in Virgo sextiles Mars in Cancer — Earth and water together, an opportunity for the guardian energy, the protective energy, the slow-and-meaningful energy to align with the Sun's call to purposeful, humble, stewardship-oriented action.And then: the Moon occults Venus.An occultation is like an eclipse — the Moon passes directly across the face of a planet, hiding it from view. We had the Jupiter occultation last week. Now Venus. And this is the last Moon-Venus conjunction (gate) before Venus goes retrograde — the last gate of this descent cycle.It happens at 2° Scorpio. Two is the number of the divine feminine: grace, cooperation, the receptive, the relational, the most powerful intuitive energy.Venus is conjunct Haumea — the Hawaiian creatrix goddess, the handle of Barbault's Basket, pure regeneration and rebirth. The Death card arrived in the cards this week. This is why.Venus is also square Pluto — death and rebirth energy, the shadow excavated for the buried treasure — and quincunx Neptune retrograde in Aries, making an aspect of adjustment: how have we lost connection with something essential in this long Martian-dominated era?That last point matters. The last Venus Star Point was at 2° Aries. This one is at 0° Scorpio. These are both Mars signs. And after this Scorpio Star Point — the last in our lifetimes — the Venus Star Point moves into Libra for over a hundred years, and then Pisces. Both Venusian signs. We are genuinely leaving a Martian era and entering a Venusian one. This occultation is a massive reset right at that threshold.The occultation runs from approximately 9:26am to 1:42pm Universal Time — check your local time equivalent, or simply look for when Moon and Venus are conjunct in your app.The Sabian symbol for 3° Scorpio (rounding up from 2°):A house-raising party in a small village. The village gathers not for entertainment but for the practical work of creating shelter. Many hands apply themselves to a single essential task, and the structure rises through coordinated effort. The image is purposeful and warm — a portrait of community focused on something that genuinely matters.The theme of this degree is collaborative intensity. The capacity to mobilize shared energy around a genuine need. The recognition that some structures require more than one person to build. There is a maturity here — in accepting support, and in offering it — so that what gets made is sturdy enough to last.Think of that in collective terms. Think of the Venus class. Think of community and what we're building together.The Omega symbol (Sandbach): A mysterious food, a small piece of which will satisfy hunger for days. Governed by the angel Rochel — lost and found, restitution. This degree possesses innate knowledge of what is needed to sustain life, versus what may be desired based on fantasies or addictive needs. There is something highly concentrated about this energy, so that what it may seem to be at first may be quite different from how it's experienced as it unfolds over time. It's hard to get to know, hard to assimilate, but any attempts to do so are well worth the effort.The Chandra symbol: Pigs being fed. Scorpio is the sign of desire. Overeating is often an attempt to fill what has been denied in other areas. At its best, this degree revels in what is taken in — love, a beautiful painting, a sunset, a bowl of mac and cheese. If not in deep and sincere touch with its true soul desires, it may binge chronically in an attempt to get something it never quite gets.This is the invitation of this occultation: what do you truly desire? What genuinely feeds your deepest needs? Not the addictive filling, not the binge seeking what it never quite gets — but the mysterious food, a small piece of which satisfies for days.I've been speaking with a friend about integrating Internal Family Systems work with astrology. The 8 C's of the Self: compassion, creativity, curiosity, confidence, courage, calm, connectedness, and clarity. And 5 P's: presence, persistence, perspective, playfulness, and patience. All of these are about coming into the Self — understanding yourself, accepting yourself, loving yourself — and from that place, bringing a completely different energy into the world. Rather than filling the hole. Rather than seeking from the outside what can only be found inside.After the occultation: the Moon conjuncts Haumea and squares Pluto. Then Venus conjuncts Haumea directly — the goddess of love meeting the goddess of regeneration at this threshold degree, in the deep water sign.We are being reborn.Tuesday, September 15 — Moon Gaining Light. Water Grand Trine. Neptune-Pluto Sextile.The Moon in Scorpio is gaining light now — we are past the new moon and entering the action phase. The Moon makes a water trine to Ceres — feeling our deepest needs, going very deep into our emotional world. Intense, but real.Venus at 3° Scorpio squares Pluto — she is moving into the underworld journey now. This is exactly what we'll track together in the class: Venus descending, confronting the shadow, finding the inner gold.A water grand trine forms: Moon in Scorpio, Asteroid Lilith in Cancer, Mars in Cancer, and Nessus in Pisces all in flowing conversation. Step into the interconnectedness. Wash away the old toxic patterns. These inherited poisons have been holding us back, and the water is dissolving them.Neptune and Pluto perfect another exact sextile — this ongoing aspect of collective transformation toward something more spiritual and interconnected. The building of something genuinely different is happening at the largest possible timescale, whether or not it's visible from inside the noise.The Moon squares Chariklo (helping write the new story) and sextiles the Sun — the first major Moon-Sun aspect since the new moon on the 10th. Earth and water. Creative energy coming from the depths.Wednesday, September 16 — Juno Stations Direct. Moon into Sagittarius. Hekate at the Crossroads.Venus is sextiled by Black Moon Lilith — the goddess of love and desire receiving support from the energy of the shamed and hidden wild feminine. Do the shame-and-vulnerability work. Brené Brown territory. What has been hidden in you? What has been shamed? That's what we're starting to surface as Venus approaches her retrograde.The Moon in Scorpio squares Hekate — so much retrograde energy in Aries, Hekate saying: we're not quite ready yet. The path forward involves the retrogrades. Venus and Mercury are both about to go retrograde through the same territory. After that, things will start to change in a big way — next year. But this is quite the process.The Moon reaches the anaretic 29° Scorpio and squares the Nodes at 11:48am Eastern — activating both eclipse points simultaneously. Purging more of the old attachments: to rules, to people, places, things, to the way things were. We cannot create the new until we've let go of a lot of the old.And then: the Moon enters Sagittarius. You may start to feel the shift — a little more get-up-and-go, a little more vision, a little more optimism. About time. The Sagittarius Moon shoots its arrows toward the future.Right after the ingress: Mercury in Libra squares Pholus — more things being revealed, the Pandora's box of our institutions still open. All the infighting globally, all the extremes — I genuinely believe we had to see all of this before we could create the new. The new is coming up underneath. It's just not visible from inside the chaos.The Sagittarius Moon opposes Sedna in Gemini (adapt or transform; communities renegotiating how they survive), trines Neptune, sextiles Pluto — the big agents of change, activated again.Juno stations direct. Her retrograde back into Capricorn has been reviewing our contracts with man-made laws, institutions, and structures — looking at what's out of balance, what needs to change. Now she starts moving back into Aquarius. New contracts. More meaningful ones. This is actually a significant shift.Thursday, September 17 — Chiron Returns to Aries. Moon Gains Light. Few Aspects.A quieter day in terms of number of aspects — but not in weight.Asteroid Lilith activates the water grand trine that has been building through the week — still washing out, still leaching the poisons, still saying we are not going back.The Moon in Sagittarius sextiles Mercury — opportunity for new ideas, new ways of thinking and communicating. The Moon is gaining light fast now.The Moon trines Saturn retrograde in Aries — what more old structures and self-limiting beliefs need to be released?And then, at 9:52pm Eastern: Chiron goes back into Aries. He'll be there until early 2027, revisiting territory he needs to complete before returning to Taurus for the longer stay.What does Chiron in Aries re-excavate? Wounds around the individual self, around identity, around who we are in ourselves. The message we received from the culture about what strength and individuality mean — rugged, power-over, domination — and the medicine of finding what genuine individual power actually looks like: coming from within, not over. We've been starting to find it. Chiron is going back to gather whatever bits need to be dug out before Taurus calls him back.Friday, September 18 — Venus Day. Ceres Squares Saturn. First Quarter Moon. Venus at the Basket Degree.Venus Day. And it delivers.Black Moon Lilith oscillates back into Sagittarius — freedom-restriction-freedom. The oscillating tension between the institutions' grip on us and the wild elemental self.Mercury in Libra squares Ceres in Cancer — what genuinely feeds us? What are our needs, and how do we take responsibility for meeting them? Not waiting for others to do it. This is the thesis of my Ceres book.Vesta and Eris meet again — devotion and focus meeting the original table-flipper. The most important place to flip the tables first is within. Those attachments to old rules, to needing someone else to tell you what to do or what to believe. You can have support. But being told what to think is different from being helped to understand.Mercury opposes Saturn — words and thoughts facing the structures and rules. The mythology of rugged individualism, manifest destiny, the hero's journey as the only journey. Write something new. Something more harmonious for everyone.Ceres squares Saturn at 13° Aries/Cancer — and this is an echo worth noting. When Ceres was discovered on January 1st, 1801, she was square Saturn in Leo — the sign of kings. I have always felt that her discovery chart encoded the eventual fall of kings and dominant leaders: Ceres, the Great Mother, at odds with the rules of the king. Now they square each other again, in cardinal signs. Ceres in Cancer: family, home, ancestors, the needs of the people. Saturn in Aries: rugged individualism, the old rules. Cardinals square: initiating something new. You may see another fall from grace around this day. The echo aspects are potent.The Sun in Virgo trines Juno at her station point — the Virgo Sun, wanting to do the right thing, in flowing conversation with our sacred contracts. More meaningful contracts are possible. This is the energy of building something sturdy.And: Venus is at 4° Scorpio — the first peak degree of Barbault's Basket. She is exactly at the degree where all four outer planets gathered in July. Venus leading the way, as always, into what's next.The day closes with the First Quarter Moon at 25° Sagittarius, squaring the Sun in Virgo. The action phase beginning in earnest. The crossroads.The Sabian symbol (26° Sagittarius): A flag-bearer in battle. This degree represents courageous dedication to principles bigger than yourself. The flag is not a tool of devastation — it's a symbol of shared values. Immutable signs with the Sun in Virgo: what is more meaningful? What is more useful? How do we create the future together around these bigger principles? Courage under pressure. Commitment to values. And the oxygen-mask wisdom: put yours on first, then put some personal wants aside for the greater good.The Omega symbol: A candle mysteriously undisturbed by wind. Sandbach titles this degree Beyond Mind. Thoughts are like wind — they push against everything and create turbulence. When you gain the power to detach from busy mind, there is an increasing steadiness that brings you closer to spiritual clarity. This degree carries a creative vision that is impervious to the agitations of inner voices.The Chandra symbol: Climbing the steps of the Pyramid of the Sun. To ascend — not by flying, but in a more substantial way, with something solid under your feet. This is about finding meaning and purpose and following the highest and clearest vision of it. Getting beyond what is shallow, superficial, and trivial can be arduous — but this meets the challenge with steadiness and purpose.Steadiness. Solid ground. A vision impervious to wind. A commitment to something bigger than yourself.That is your First Quarter Moon.Saturday, September 19 — Moon into Capricorn. Venus Receives the Moon's Grace. The Week Closes.The Moon moves into Capricorn overnight and closes the week with its early morning aspects.After the First Quarter, the Moon makes a fire trine to Chiron in Aries — just returned. Visionary, purposeful, the Sagittarius spirit meeting the medicine. What medicine do you need to create this vision? What healing is required for the steadfast purpose beginning to form?Juno has moved exactly one minute forward from her station — barely, but she's moving. New contracts are beginning.The Moon squares Eris and Vesta early — the tables are being flipped again, the inner flame is being tended. We are creating new structures. More revelations may surface today, including possibly the Epstein files re-emerging.In Capricorn, the Moon squares Neptune (retrograde in Aries) early in the morning — Neptune saying let go of the me-first attitude, the power-over energy. Create something genuinely new from here. And then the Moon makes a lovely unbroken flow trine to Venus — the Moon and Venus in earth and water, in gentle supportive conversation. All of this moving toward the retrograde. All of it connected.The Cards in DetailDeath — I Am Transition:A time of endings. Old lives, shared and beloved, are changing or gone. There may be some loss and pain this week — personally, culturally, collectively. Death and mourning is a process. Acceptance builds slowly as we lament and grieve for what was. But transformation beckons.Soon, you will start to feel the blood in your veins, and know that you are alive and have this big life journey to complete. In these extraordinary times that we are in.The Death card arrived at the same time as the Venus occultation conjunct Haumea. Regeneration, rebirth, the creatrix goddess. One cannot be separated from the other.Three of Torches (Wands) — I Am Enthusiasm:The Sagittarius energy is coming. You can feel it building from Wednesday onward — the arrow being drawn back, the vision beginning to form. The Three of Torches is that moment: enthusiasm. Grabbing it by the horns. You may feel less like lying on the mat in a quiet room — the life force returning.Seer of Torches, reversed — Reminder of Inner Radiance:Upright, the Seer of Torches is I Am Divine — the knowing that you are a divine being having a human experience, the natural inner radiance that doesn't need external validation. Reversed this week: you're probably not quite feeling this inner selfhood yet. You're not quite there yet with that inner divinity. That's okay. This is just a reminder: it's there. Look within. Notice your inner radiance, even just briefly. It hasn't gone anywhere.Lady of Perpetual Rebirth (Witch Oracle by Angie Sullins):Death comes for all of us — but this isn't a death card. It's a rebirth card.It's an invitation to clean and clear what needs to end, in order to welcome the new. What ideas or beliefs have become weighty, overwhelming, outdated? What thoughts no longer fit you? What convictions cause exhaustion or even illness when you embody them?Our Lady of Perpetual Rebirth is here to usher out the old and midwife the new.Pay special attention to your dreams. There are signs and symbols showing themselves to you right now that will indicate what wants to be loosened and released. The new vision, new awareness, new life that is circling you will also send out strong signals. Pay attention. Listen. Watch. Observe.This is the time to let go of what no longer serves.A witch can welcome death with the same enthusiasm a moth displays when flying into fire. She hurls herself towards her own endings, knowing her next beginnings live inside the fire of her passion — the heat of longing, calling her forward.Summing UpThe last Venus Gate before the retrograde — an occultation at 2° Scorpio, the divine feminine number, conjunct Haumea the regeneratrix, square Pluto, adjustment to Neptune. A house-raising party. A mysterious food that satisfies for days. Pigs being fed, or not, depending on whether they're in touch with their true soul desires.Juno stations direct. Chiron returns to Aries. Ceres and Saturn square at the echo of her discovery chart. The First Quarter Moon at the flag-bearer degree, the candle undisturbed by wind, the climbing of the pyramid with solid ground underfoot.And four cards that say: something is ending. The enthusiasm is coming back. Your inner radiance is there, even if you can't feel it yet. And the witch hurls herself toward her own endings, because she knows her next beginnings are already inside the fire.See you at the retrograde. Join me in the Heroine's Journey.

Sarah and Jane sit down with Amanda Walsh, founder and CEO of Astrology Hub and author of the new memoir Life by the Stars: A True Story of Letting Go, Looking Up, and Remembering Who You Are. Amanda traces her path from a buttoned-up corporate life in New York City, three degrees deep and checking every box, to an unraveling that started with an emergency C-section, a toddler hurling her Blackberry across the room, and a cross-country move to Hawaii with no plan and no internet. She talks about the first astrology reading that cracked her open, why she calls it her first evidence of God, and how a friend's throwaway comment about an unused domain name turned into Astrology Hub. The conversation moves through the difference between astrology's various schools (Vedic, Western, evolutionary), why Amanda offers that astrology is one language with many dialects, and her mango tree metaphor for why some people are ready for a leap before others are. She and Jane also dig into the current planetary moment, the Leo-Aquarius axis, and why Amanda thinks we are all living through an unprecedented collective transformation. Key Takeaways Sometimes the system you trust most (medical, educational, corporate) breaking down is what finally shows you it was never the whole truth to begin with Astrology is not one fixed system. Different traditions (Vedic, Western, evolutionary) are different dialects of the same underlying language, and it's fine to take what resonates and leave the rest Not everyone is ready for the same leap at the same time, and that is not a flaw. Some fruit ripens early, some ripens late, but it all ends up in the same place Tension and hard transits are not punishment. They are pressure pointing toward something in you that wants to resolve Feeling like everything is uncertain right now is not a personal failure to have it figured out. It is a collective experience showing up individually You do not need permission to reinvent your life more than once. The version of you built for one chapter does not have to be the final version Notable Quotes Amanda, on her first astrology reading: "This is my first evidence of God." On timing and readiness: "The yes that's pulling us is stronger than the fear that's holding us back." On living through this moment: "It's freaking terrifying as hell. But like, my god, it's also kind of fun." On the Capricorn archetype: "Capricorn is not just a goat... it's a sea goat, part goat, part mermaid," both climbing the highest heights and exploring the deepest depths.

We're standing at a threshold between two evolutionary chapters.The Lunar Nodes are shifting from Virgo–Pisces into Leo–Aquarius, and next week's Pisces Lunar Eclipse on August 27th-28th gives us a powerful moment to pause, reflect, integrate, and consciously consider what we're taking with us into what comes next.Hint: We're not starting over. We're moving forward with everything we've become.

The lunar nodes have moved out of Virgo and Pisces and into Leo and Aquarius (south node in Leo, north node in Aquarius) and they stay there into early 2028. The collective assignment: loosen the grip on me-centered living and lean into we-centered living. Fewer gurus, more actual community.The nodes aren't objects in the sky.

Host Cosmic Colleen delivers a weekly astrology update (Episode 302) focused on the upcoming eclipse in Leo, Mars moving into Cancer, and a Jupiter–Mercury conjunction. She explains how this new eclipse series begins, what eclipses mean, and which signs will feel the impact most. The episode covers timing and themes: intense new beginnings, accelerated change over the next 18 months, and practical astrology tips for fixed and fire signs. Colleen also reviews past Leo/Aquarius eclipses to help listeners connect patterns in their own charts. Practical takeaways include embracing passionate, sustainable starts, expecting domino effects within weeks of the eclipse, and using this energized period to build lasting change.

The eclipses are here, the eclipses are here! The week leading up to this total Leo Solar Eclipse has been very telling. But first: Venus, the goddess of love and money, aspects Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus. Mars enters Cancer, where it will stay through September 27th. Mercury gets a change of perception as it connects with Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, and Jupiter. And April answers a listener question about money in the horoscope. Plus: Information overload, moms in SUVs, and where does the money go? We have a lot of transits to unpack, so let's get this show on the road! Read a full transcript of this episode.

Six planets gather before dawn, a total solar eclipse moves through Leo during the day, and the Perseid meteor shower peaks that night, all in a single 24-hour window. Since eclipses only happen at new moons, this is also the biggest new moon of the year. In this episode, I walk through all three events as one complete spiritual sequence: Jupiter's role in the planetary parade and how to set a money intention under that sky, the eclipse's connection to the Leo-Aquarius nodal axis and how to name and release an identity that's ready to close, and the Perseids themselves, including the real history behind their other name, the Tears of Saint Lawrence.

On August 13, we experience the first Solar Eclipse in Leo on the new Leo-Aquarius nodal axis, marking the beginning of an 18-month eclipse cycle that will reshape the way we express ourselves, lead, create and connect with others.Subscribe to the Lunar Lover newsletterBook in for a Natal Chart Reading with JordannaOrder a copy of All Signs Point To YouInternational readers order here.

In this episode, we'll discuss the Solar Eclipse in Leo and why the new Leo–Aquarius cycle may begin changing the way each of us thinks about joy and authentic happiness.

In this episode we explore one of the most significant astrological shifts of the coming years: the Lunar Nodes moving into the Leo–Aquarius axis. As we collectively move from Virgo South Node/Pisces North Node into an 18-month journey of Leo South Node/Aquarius North Node, we unpack what this transition means for our individual purpose, creativity, community, and the evolution of humanity. We discuss the balance between authentic self-expression and collective contribution, why now is the time to stop hiding your gifts, and how embracing your unique voice is part of the new paradigm. We also share personal stories about living with these nodal placements, practical reflections for navigating this collective shift, and empowering affirmations to help you step into your role as a leader, healer, and creator in the years ahead.  Key Takeaways: Why the Leo–Aquarius nodal shift marks a collective transition from individual identity toward authentic community, collaboration, and humanitarian impact. How embracing your unique creativity, voice, and gifts is essential for contributing to the healing and evolution of humanity. How the highest expression of Leo and Aquarius work together, allowing you to shine authentically while serving something greater than yourself. Why now is the time to release the fear of being "too much," embrace your uniqueness, and let your authentic self be seen. How Human Design, astrology, and the Lunar Nodes can offer powerful guidance for understanding your soul's evolution and the role you're here to play in the new paradigm.  Doors Open for Our 2nd Cohort of Activate Your Golden Purpose on August 8th!

The Lunar Nodes have officially shifted into Aquarius and Leo, marking the beginning of an entirely new 18-month eclipse story.In this episode, I unpack what the Lunar Nodes are, why this shift matters, and how this new cycle invites us to balance individuality with community, creativity with contribution, and heart with vision. We'll explore the themes of the Leo-Aquarius axis, what the upcoming eclipses may bring, how to tell if you're experiencing a nodal return or reverse nodal return, and how to personalise this transit using your own natal chart.The Ultimate Manifestation Visualisation MeditationSubscribe to the Lunar Lover newsletterOrder a copy of All Signs Point To YouInternational readers order here.

Thanks for listening, and please offer a rating and review if you found this helpful :)*Correction: I mentioned there is one last north node eclipse in Pisces, which takes place on the full moon in August 27th when the moon (not the sun) is in Pisces, and the sun is in Virgo. **And OOPS! There is actually one more south node in Virgo eclipse on February 20, 2027. Although the south node will be in Leo at that time, the sun will be in Pisces/moon in Virgo for that eclipse. These nodal cycles are a little wobbly during the transition periods. Disclaimer: This podcast is intended to educate, inspire, and support you on your path.

Leo season has arrived, and after an emotional and reflective Cancer season, the energy is finally beginning to shift. In this episode, we'll explore a season filled with “extra” Leo energy, which includes Jupiter in Leo, a powerful Aquarius Full Moon, the lunar nodes shifting to the Leo–Aquarius axis, and a total Solar Eclipse in Leo. We'll also talk about the ways this energy is shifting us from inner reflection toward outward expression, encouraging us to be seen and take up more space, and offering us a little more courage to live authentically.Want the Leo Season post with rising sign info?

Timestamps [1:27] Moon Report! The Cancer New Moon (July 14, 2:43 am PDT) at 21°59' Cancer. This New Moon is on the Sabian symbol 22 Cancer, A woman awaiting a sailboat. This New Moon brings hard work and nostalgia, as the Sun and Moon square Saturn while conjunct retrograde Mercury in Cancer. [3:56] Lunar Phase Family Cycle (LPFC). This is the New Moon in an LPFC that will unfold and extend this New Moon's messages over the coming three years. The First Quarter Moon (first action point) of this LPFC occurs on Apr. 13, 2027 (23°47' Cancer), the Full Moon (awareness point) will be on Jan. 11, 2028 (21°27' Cancer), and the Last Quarter Moon (final action point) is on Oct. 11, 2028 (18°41' Cancer). [5:25] A rare cradle configuration (July 15-24) involves the outer planets at 4° of their signs: Jupiter at 4 Leo, Uranus at 4 Gemini, Neptune at 4 Aries, and Pluto at 4 Aquarius. Address weaknesses and move toward purpose. Look for peak events that signal major societal shifts, grassroots movements, technological advancements, and the questioning of the establishment. [8:21] Uranus sextiles Neptune (July 15, 1:36 pm PDT) at 4°23' Gemini/Aries. It's the third of five that will form between Aug. 2025 and June 2027, and could bring new ways for us to share information, creativity and to connect. [10:55] Uranus trines Pluto (July 17, 9:43 pm PDT) at 4°29' Gemini/Aquarius, seeking to disrupt the status quo (Uranus) and consolidate power (Pluto). This is the first of five Uranus-Pluto trines that will form between Nov. 2026 and May 2028. [14:01] On July 20, Jupiter trines Neptune (12:23 am PDT, at 4°22' Leo/Aries) and opposes Pluto (7:44 am PDT, at 4°26' Leo/Aquarius).

[21:51] Mercury stations direct (July 23, 3:58 pm PDT) at 16°18' Cancer. It turned retrograde on June 29, 2026. Mercury's retrogrades are times to relax, regroup and reflect. [23:08] Neptune sextile Pluto (July 24, 10:26 pm PDT) at 4°20' Aries/Aquarius. This is the first exact Neptune/Pluto sextile since May-June 1986. For nearly eight decades, the Neptune-Pluto sextile has appeared in most birth charts. It was exact multiple times between 1950–1956 and 1976–1986, and this week's exact alignment begins a final series running through February 2032. What is the commonality? [27:27] Saturn turns retrograde (July 26, 12:56 pm PDT) at 14°44' Aries, and it will turn direct on Dec. 10, 2026. Initiating new endeavors may go more smoothly if you can make a big push toward that project after Dec. 10. [29:50] The Lunar Nodes enter Aquarius and Leo (July 26, 5:46 pm PDT). The Nodes have been in Pisces/Virgo since Jan. 11, 2025, and they will be in Aquarius/Leo through Mar. 26, 2028. Check out Ep. 342 to learn about the difference between the Mean and True Nodes.

If you've been feeling like the ground keeps shifting beneath your feet, you're not imagining it. We are living through one of the most cosmically significant moments in recorded history!

Hi everyone!In this segment, we explore the upcoming Lunar Eclipse in Leo in Pūrva Phalgunī — an asterism associated with love, romance, creativity, pleasure, and the sacred creative force that flows through us when we are still, present, and at rest.We discuss practical strategies to consciously connect with and utilize this energy:Prioritizing rest as a creative actSoftening into receptivity rather than controlHealing wounds or authority, visibility, and recognitionReclaiming sensuality as ours to experience Meanwhile, Venus shifts into its sign of exaltation in Pisces, heightening emotion and awakening a longing for “higher love.” Romance may feel fated, spiritual, transcendent. But with heightened sensitivity comes potential illusion.There may be:Idealization in loveRose-colored glassesConfusion or mixed signalsKarmic themes surfacing in intimacy and partnershipWith both Saturn and Neptune influencing the field, we explore the tension between devotion and delusion, fantasy and maturity. The invitation is not to reject romance — but to balance it. To enjoy beauty and mysticism while remaining grounded and discerning.With the Leo–Aquarius axis activated, this eclipse also speaks to:Inner authority vs. collective influenceAncestral patterns around visibility and leadershipInvesting in causes we genuinely care aboutImpact doesn't have to be grandiose. It can look like:Small acts of generosityShowing up authenticallyChoosing integrity over applauseTune in to explore how this eclipse may manifest — and how to consciously work with its creative, romantic, and transformative potential.YOUTUBE:D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

We are inside the field of the upcoming Solar Eclipse and the Saturn-Neptune conjunction, a rare pivotal week.On February 17, 2026, the Solar Eclipse at 28° Aquarius activates the North Node (the dragon's head), symbolizing appetite, growth, and evolutionary pull. In myth, the nodes were imagined as a dragon: the head hungry and grasping, the tail releasing and purging. When the eclipse aligns with the North Node, desire intensifies. Restlessness increases. The future presses forward.In Aquarius, that hunger becomes collective.We grow dissatisfied with outdated systems.We feel the strain of identities that no longer fit.We sense that the status quo cannot sustain what is coming.This eclipse also squares Uranus in Taurus — the Maverick-Awakener grounded in the material world. Vision must root. Innovation must sustain life. Revolution must be embodied.This New Moon Solar Eclipse is a preview of the larger Leo–Aquarius nodal shift later this year. The story of belonging, leadership, community, and collective responsibility is only beginning.And then we widen the lens.Saturn and Neptune are moving toward their conjunction on February 20th at 0° Aries — the very first degree of the zodiac. The last time these two met at this degree was nearly 6,000 years ago, during the dawn of early written language and formal calendar systems. Humanity was naming reality. Establishing shared agreements about time, meaning, and order.We are standing at a similar threshold.Saturn (structure, law, accountability) meets Neptune (vision, dissolution, transcendence). Together, they reset the boundary between what is real and what is imagined.We are renegotiating reality.Collectively, this may show up as institutions dissolving or restructuring, illusions surfacing, and new definitions of identity and authority emerging.Personally, this week may bring:Dissatisfaction without a clear replacementA call to build something meaningfulA quiet recognition that an old agreement has expiredA hunger for the future that must be guided with maturityThis is not a week for impulsive action.It is a week for orientation.Nearly 6,000 years ago, humans were deciding how to name the world.What are we naming now?Something is being written again.And you are not outside that story.Reflection Questions:Where in my life am I being asked to renegotiate what is “real” — based on lived truth rather than habit or fear? (Notice where old assumptions no longer fit, even if nothing external has fully changed yet.)What am I hungry for — and is that hunger aligned with integrity or urgency? (The North Node's appetite needs wise stewardship.)If I were naming my world anew from maturity rather than survival, what would I consciously call forward? (Think language, identity, agreements, roles.)Podcast Poem: Let Them Not Say by Jane HirshfieldSupport the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-page This episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

Today we discuss the upcoming solar eclipse on February 17th in the nakshatra of Dhanishta. We begin by doing a brief recap of some current affairs - we get into more personal astrology around the 9:45 mark with horoscopes coming at the end, per usual. This solar eclipse activates the Leo–Aquarius axis in a way that feels deeply personal and profoundly collective.Ketu in Leo indicates challenging celebrity worship, hierarchy, and the illusion of kingdoms and regimes. Who have we placed on pedestals? Where have we given our power away?Rahu in Aquarius brings a focus shift toward collective advancement - especially in health, innovation, and systems that serve humanity at large.We discuss:ReceptivityAbundanceWealth consciousnessMoney as energyShifting from being an audience to participant We break down horoscopes for all 12 signs while exploring the brilliance of Dhanishta - the nakshatra of radiance, rhythm, and remembering what makes us bright.YOUTUBE:D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

Aquarius Season 2026 opens with rare intensity, clarity, and momentum. With a powerful Aquarius stellium, two cazimis, Mars entering Aquarius, and the first eclipse in the Leo–Aquarius cycle, this season asks for honesty, discernment, and brave forward movement. In this episode, I explore the deeper meaning of Aquarius beyond the clichés, how this energy is shaping the weeks ahead, and practical ways to work with it consciously, without forcing or performing. This is a season of alignment, truth, and quiet revolution.2026 Personal Astrology ManifestoSubscribe to the Podcast for bonus episodes - 7 Day Free Trial.

On this week's episode, Mom and Me talk about the upcoming 2026 energies for the fixed signs; Scorpio, Taurus, Leo & Aquarius.

The year ahead astrology forecast for 2026, with predictions about the major planetary alignments taking place over the next twelve months, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. We spend the first half of the episode giving a big picture overview of the most important planetary alignments in 2026, and then in the second half we dive into a month by month breakdown of the astrology of the next year. This is episode 517 of The Astrology Podcast. Overview of the Astrology of 2026 The year opens with Saturn and Neptune departing from Pisces and moving into the tropical zodiac sign of Aries, where they form an exact conjunction with each other in February, marking the peak of the reality distortion field. February and March sees the start of our first eclipse season, with a solar eclipse in Aquarius in February, followed by a lunar eclipse in Virgo in early March, marking the beginning of a new eclipse series of major endings and beginnings in Leo-Aquarius while the Virgo-Pisces series winds down. The Saturn-Neptune conjunct is reactivated in April when Mars enters that sign and forms a quadruple conjunction with Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and Neptune. Later in April the planet Uranus moves into the sign of Gemini where it will stay until 2033, thus marking the full onset of the Uranus return of the United States. This Uranus transit through Gemini reaches a critical and explosive turning point around July 4, when Mars conjoins Uranus in Gemini, which is the first in a series of four pivotal conjunctions between now and 2032. Jupiter spends the first half of the year wrapping up its transit through the sign of exaltation in Cancer, with one of the main highlights being an auspicious Venus-Jupiter conjunction in early June, but then in the second half of the year Jupiter moves into Leo and begins a series of alignments that will put the spotlight on that sign in late 2026 and early 2027. In August we get our second eclipse season of the year, with a solar eclipse in the sign of Leo, followed by a lunar eclipse in the sign of Pisces, thus fully inaugurating the Leo-Aquarius eclipse series. There is a messy Venus retrograde in the signs of Libra and Scorpio in October and November, and then the year closes with Mars getting ready to station retrograde in Leo and Virgo, leaving us on a cliffhanger that leads into the beginning of 2027. 2026 Electional Astrology Report https://theastrologypodcast.com/2026report/ Astrotheoros https://astrotheoros.com Use the code ASTROLOGYPOD to get a free month of the program!

In this episode of the Astrology Witch Podcast, I deep dive on something I don't think astrologers talk about enough which is the zodiacal axes. Respectively, the zodiacal axes are Aries-Libra, Taurus-Scorpio, Gemini-Sagittarius, Cancer-Capricorn, Leo-Aquarius, and Virgo-Pisces and today we are diving deep into the energies at play within the Cancer-Capricorn axis.Understanding each of these zodiacal axes will give you a greater understanding of astrology because you will begin to make sense of both the levy-pully system of energies within natal charts and why certain aspects, especially oppositions, and placements, especially when in opposing signs, play out the way that they do, either in transit or birth charts. Follow me on TikTok @astrologywitchpodcastCheck out my digital products here --> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/astrologywitchpodcast/shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enjoying the podcast?

We sit down with master astrologer Hilary Harley to map the real pressure points and open lanes of 2026—so you can time launches, protect energy, and ride the wind instead of fighting it. January opens soft, then pivots hard into an Aquarian wave as the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars meet Pluto. Neptune's shift into Aries signals the end of vague vibes and the start of proof-driven action. February is the jolt: a Leo full moon collides with Uranus direct in Taurus, a new moon solar eclipse lands in Aquarius, and Mercury retrograde cuts between eclipses. Translation: breakthrough energy with logistical static—smart to delay big purchases, double-check travel, and treat surprises as strategy prompts.By March, the skies clear. Jupiter turns direct in Cancer, a final-degree Pisces new moon resets intuition, Mercury moves direct, and the Sun enters Aries. That sequence creates one of the best launch windows of the year for new offers, creative work, and business pivots. Then comes the structural shift: Uranus re-enters Gemini for seven years, aligning with Pluto in Aquarius. Expect acceleration in communication, media, mobility, and learning—plus sharper contrasts between fear-led narratives and curiosity-led growth. We break down how to choose your stream, build resilient routines, and harness the air-era momentum without burning out.We also spotlight May's dual full moons and money signals, late June's rapid pileup with Jupiter into Leo, and a second-half roadmap: nodes moving to Leo–Aquarius, August eclipses, and fall retrogrades that reassess love, budgets, and deals. Here's a summary of 2026: January offers setup time; February ignites with eclipses and Mercury retrograde; March opens a clean runway; Uranus in Gemini accelerates ideas, media, and mobility.• January calm followed by an Aquarius surge• Neptune enters Aries and demands results• February eclipses plus Uranus direct shake values• Mercury retrograde between eclipses complicates travel and tech• March relief with Jupiter direct and a prime launch window• Uranus returns to Gemini and speeds communication• May integration with two full moons and money themes• Late June cluster and Jupiter into Leo boost creativity• Nodes shift to Leo–Aquarius and August eclipses return• Fall retrogrades reset love, money, and agreements• Year ends steadier with Saturn and Neptune direct in AriesMake sure you download, share, subscribe, and give us a five-star reviewSupport the show

Feeling like your old identity is falling away, but the new one isn't fully formed yet? You're not alone—you're right on time. In this enlightening and incredibly timely episode, Samantha is joined by expert astrologer Alicia to give you the ultimate "cheat code" for navigating the massive energetic shifts of 2025. They dive deep into why this year is so pivotal, with multiple generational planets changing signs, and what the current Virgo-Pisces eclipse season is asking of all of us: to SURRENDER.This conversation is your guide to understanding the cosmic forces at play. Alicia breaks down the powerful themes of this eclipse season—releasing the lower vibrations of Virgo (perfectionism, self-criticism, over-complication) and stepping into the high-frequency energy of Pisces (compassion, spirituality, one-consciousness). They discuss why these astrological shifts are perfectly aligned with the collective's move toward a new paradigm of leadership, the "flattening of structures," and the rise of the "New Earth." If you're ready to stop resisting, lean into the messy middle, and use this potent energy to uplevel your life, this episode is your anchor.

This week, Venus enters the glamorous sign of Leeeeeeoooo and makes inspiring aspects to Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, plus a highly charged opposition to Pluto.

Timestamps [2:20] Venus enters Leo on Mon. Aug. 25 (9:27 AM PDT), and will be there through Sep. 19, 2025. It is a sunny, life-affirming position for Venus, but it makes a lot of important aspects this week to heavy planets, bringing some shadows to Leo's sunshine. [3:55] On Mon. Aug. 25 (5:56 PM PDT), Venus trines Saturn at 0º25' Leo-Aries.  Saturn tempers Venus in Leo's extravagant tendencies. Acknowledge your responsibility in choosing partners and cultivating relationships. Don't be afraid to ask for help! [6:09] Venus sextiles Uranus (Tue. Aug. 26, 1:58 pm PDT) at 1°25' Leo-Gemini. New ideas appear, especially related to money, values, or relationships. New people may enter the picture and shake you out of your routines. [7:36] Venus trines Neptune (Tue. Aug. 26, 3:18 pm PDT) at 1°29' Leo-Aries. This aspect invites us to see the beauty in others, regard the world with a little more tenderness. Neptune also elevates Venus' creativity with inspiration, even a touch of spirituality. Together, Venus' sextile to Uranus and trine to Neptune remind us that love, beauty, and creativity are best when they open doors to inspiration and into connection with others. [8:49] Venus opposes Pluto (Tue. Aug. 26, 10:54 pm PDT) at 01°51' Leo-Aquarius. Challenges in relationship and finances. Find value in what cannot be taken away. This transit can feel intense but fortunately, it passes quickly. Don't do things that you can't undo. It's only one day, and by tomorrow, things could look quite different. [11:20] Uranus sextiles Neptune (Thu. Aug. 28, 5:14 PM PDT) at 01º26' Gemini- Aries. This is the first of five exact sextiles that they will form to each other between now and June 2027. Uranus' last major aspect to Neptune was a conjunction in 1993, between 18-19° Capricorn (Feb. 2, Aug. 20, Oct. 24, 1993). [13:28] Uranus in Gemini sextile Neptune in Aries, blends inventive thinking with visionary drive. Think outside the box, not just for the sake of novelty, but to serve an inspired vision of the future. This energy is great for breakthroughs in language, technology, art, or activism. If you stay grounded, this transit is powerful for creativity, spirituality, social change and for taking those first steps toward a new world. [15:45] Moon Report! The Sagittarius First Quarter Moon is on Sat. Aug. 30 (11:25 PM PDT) at 08º07' Sagittarius and Virgo. This is our first action point following the Aug. 22 Virgo New Moon (the first of two; the second is on Sep. 21, and is a Solar Eclipse). You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin, just start the journey and trust that the road will open as you go. The Sabian symbol for this First Quarter Moon is 9 Sagittarius, A mother with her children on the stairs. The Sabian symbol for the Sun is 9 Virgo, A man makes a futuristic drawing. [18:16] This is the First Quarter (first action point) in a lunar phase family cycle (LPFC) that began with the New Moon in Sagittarius on Nov. 30, 2024, at 9º32' Sagittarius. The Full Moon (awareness point) of this LPFC will occur on May 31, 2026, at 9º55' Sagittarius, and the Last Quarter phase (last action point) is on Feb. 27, 2027, at 9º22' Sagittarius. [19:46] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods. On Mon. Aug. 25 (6:53 AM PDT), the Moon in Virgo sextiles Venus. It's VOC for only 15 minutes, and then the Moon enters Libra (7:08 AM PDT). Cancer likes comfort food, and Virgo likes efficient and healthy nutrition. This Void-of-Course Moon period begins around breakfast time on the west coast of the United States, so this is a great day to start a new ritual of eating a really delicious and nutritious breakfast. [20:55] On Tue. Aug. 26 (7:06 PM PDT), the Moon in Libra sextiles Mercury. It's VOC for 23 hours and 21 minutes, then enters Scorpio on Wed. Aug. 27 (6:27 PM PDT). Leo gives voice to the desire for balance and equality that the Moon in Libra craves. Create a habit of making decisions by using equal parts mind and heart. [22:06] On Fri. Aug. 29 (5:47 PM PDT), the Moon in Scorpio squares Mercury. It's VOC for 13 hours, 17 minutes, and enters Sagittarius on Sat. Aug. 30 (7:04 AM PDT). If someone gets under your skin during this VOC Moon period, try very hard to keep hurtful feelings to yourself. Funnel your anger into some other enterprise, such as vigorous exercise habits, which can help keep the drama at bay and your body strong. [23:22] There will be a pause on listener questions this week and most likely next week due to the 6th Annual Podathon! They will return the week after the Podathon, though, so by all means, keep those questions flowing!

https://enlighteninglife.com/august-2025-energy-report/As August enters we are reminded that it is nearly the end of summer (in the northern hemisphere). I am glad because I am not a big fan of hot weather. But it also means that we are moving quickly towards the end of the year and for some people that can be a reminder of everything that has not happened yet or everything that they have not done. But don't despair, there's plenty of time for taking action – aligned action, that is – and August is a great time to get started. While the Universe can be the source of frustrating delay, it can also create time warps and very fast action when that's appropriate.We start August with Mercury retrograde in Leo. 2025 started with Mars retrograde in Leo and the strong Pluto/Mars opposition in Leo/Aquarius. Think of how this year began – Mars the planet of Action and ruler of Aries, the first zodiac house, opposing Pluto, the great transformer in Aquarius, the 5D sign. That was a marker for what we would be seeing all year, the light/dark challenges, the 3D/5D integration in full force, and the ongoing ascension path.August is an 8 month in a 9 year, and 8+9=17, 7+1=8. So we have a double 8 vibe this month and that's going to bring more multi-dimensional work, more material/spirit integration, more 5D energy, and more energy expansion.The number 8 is associated with money, wealth, and power, as well as rejuvenation, restoration, and balance. The key to success in August is balance – alignment and integration, intention and action, purpose and expansion. It's time to take off the rose colored glasses and be honest about your real motives and motivation. No more bland mindset theories that do not take energy into consideration. It is time to be congruent, whole, and energetically sovereign. August was named after Caesar Augustus – the great Roman emperor.If July felt stagnant and slow for you, and the heat and weird weather did not help, then August is going to feel much better, especially if you like action. 8 is the number representing infinity but it also represents the integration of human and divine, the balance of energies between material and spiritual, the action path of intention to manifestation. This is about flow, not force. The number looks like 2 circles but it also represents the torodial mobius that is the true structure of the Universe. It is not some vast open and endless plane, it is a tightly organized structure that expands and contracts under its own energetic impulses.read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2025 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

Timestamps [1:19] Celebrating 300 episodes of the podcast, and thanking and remembering those who've helped the podcast flourish throughout the years! [3:45] Venus squares the Lunar Nodes (Mon. July 21, 6:21 PM PDT) at 19°32' Gemini, Pisces, and Virgo. Venus is on the Sabian symbol 20 Gemini, A cafeteria. The South Node is on the Sabian symbol 20 Virgo, An automobile caravan. The North Node's Sabian symbol is 20 Pisces, A table set for an evening meal. Choose the meal, not the buffet, and share it with others. [6:18] Sun enters Leeeeeooooo on Tue. July 22 (6:29 am PDT, through Aug. 22). The Sun rules Leo and favors recreation, play, creative self-expression, and love affairs. The tarot card that's associated with Leo is Strength and the card is associated with the keyword compassion. In medical astrology, Leo rules the spine and the heart, fitting for a sign that is so associated with dignity, courage, and vitality. Leo season is a good time to tend whatever it is that keeps us strong and centered. [8:43] On Tue. July 22 (10:32 PM PDT), the Sun sextiles Uranus at 00°38' Leo and Gemini. The Sun, which represents ego, vitality, and awareness, is now spotlighting the themes of change, innovation and reinvention. [10:36] Venus squares Mars (Wed. July 23, 1:23 AM PDT) at 21°00' Gemini-Virgo. Venus and Mars are both symbols of relationship and in your personal life, this aspect might have you feeling a sudden spark or reconnecting with an ex. [11:54] The Sun trines Saturn (Thu. July 24, 4:23 AM PDT) at 1°49' Leo- Aries. It's a productive transit, when hard work begins to get some recognition. The Sun's Sabian symbol is 2 Leo, An epidemic of mumps; Saturn's is 2 Aries, A comedian entertaining a group. [14:21] The Sun trines Neptune (Thu. July 24, 10:31 am PDT) at 2°04' Leo-Aries. A wonderful day for creativity or spirituality, but remember, no one has all the answers. The Sun's Sabian symbol is 3 Leo, A woman having her hair bobbed. Neptune's Sabian symbol is 3 Aries, A cameo profile of a man, in the outline of his country. [16:38] Moon Report! The Leo New Moon (Thu. July 24, 12:11 pm PDT) is at 2°08' Leo on Sabian symbol 3 Leo, A woman having her hair bobbed. This is our moment to shine, express ourselves boldly, initiate something creative or romantic. Not all rules deserve to be followed, and sometimes we have to refuse to conform in order to claim freedom to be ourselves. [19:14] Lunar Phase Family Cycle (LPFC). This New Moon begins a lunar phase family cycle that continues over the next few years, offering plenty of time to realize Leo New Moon ambitions. The First Quarter (first action point) is on April 23, 2026, the Full Moon (awareness point) is on Jan. 22, 2027, and the Last Quarter Moon (final action point) is on Oct. 22, 2027. [21:35] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon Periods. On Mon. July 21 (12:52 PM PDT), the Moon in Gemini squares Mars in Virgo. It's then VOC for 16 hours and 34 minutes before it enters Cancer on Tue. July 22 (5:26 AM PDT). Communications from the past could come to the forefront, along with hurt feelings or anger. Forgive and move on; leave the past in the past. [22:50] On Wed. July 23 (5:42 PM PDT), the Moon sextiles Mars. It's VOC for 14 hours and 46 minutes then enters Leo on Thu. July 24 (8:28 AM PDT). This can be a good day to organize your home. [23:50] On Sat. July 26 (4:02 AM PDT), the Moon in Leo sextiles Venus in Gemini. It's VOC for 9 hours 53 minutes before it enters Virgo (1:55 PM PDT). This is a good spa day, so embrace some pampering. [24:54] The Sun opposes Pluto at 2°35' Leo-Aquarius on Thu. July 24 (11:33 PM PDT). This powerful alignment comes only once a year and it invites a kind of personal reckoning. Think of it as kind of an energetic cleanse. The Sun's Sabian symbol is 3 Leo, A woman having her hair bobbed. Pluto's Sabian symbol is 3 Aquarius, A deserter from the navy. Let go, stand firm in your truth, and don't be afraid to challenge the rules that don't fit. [27:08] Listener Questions will be back next week!

This week, the Sun's square to Neptune asks, “Who are you, really?” And as the Sun conjoins Jupiter just in time for the Cancer New Moon, we learn something about traveling far to find our tribe and the wandering ways we might have to sacrifice in order to belong. And Mercury enters Leeeeoooo for a storytelling journey that involves the mentorship of Saturn, the imagination of Neptune, and the soul-bearing honesty of Pluto. And a listener question about the Part of Fortune. Plus: Phoning home, sitting at the supper table, and the stuff of legend.   Read a full transcript of this episode.

Timestamps [1:32] The Sun squares Neptune (June 23, 1:29 AM PDT) at 2°08' Cancer-Aries. The Sun in connection with Neptune, often suggests a crisis of confidence when we ask, “Who am I? What do I want?” [3:14] The Sun conjoins Jupiter (June 24, 8:17 AM PDT) at 3º21' Cancer. Yearning for a big, bold adventure that gives us a chance to be part of a community. The film Local Hero was mentioned. [4:59] Moon Report! The Cancer New Moon is on June 25 (3:31 AM PDT) at 04º07' Cancer, on the symbol 5 Cancer, An automobile is wrecked by a train. How much of your individuality are you prepared to set aside so that you can sit comfortably at the supper table? [7:06] Lunar Phase Family Cycle (LPFC). This is the New Moon in a lunar phase family cycle that begins a story related to family, home and belonging. The First Quarter Moon (action point) in this cycle is on March 25, 2026, 05º08' Cancer.

[8:38] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods. On June 23 (1:26 AM PDT), the Moon in Gemini squares Mars in Virgo. It is VOC for a staggering 43 hours and 18 minutes (!!!), before it enters Cancer (June 24, 8:44 PM PDT). Sometimes we have to get good and angry, or excited, about something before we will act. [9:53] On June 26 (10:16 PM PDT), the Moon in Cancer sextiles Uranus in Taurus. It's VOC for 49 minutes, then enters Leo (11:05 PM PDT). Transform emotions, worries, and stresses into energy and motivation. [11:23] On June 29 (4:03 AM PDT), the Moon in Leo squares Uranus in Taurus. It's VOC for 40 minutes, then enters Virgo (4:43 AM PDT). If you find yourself in a sticky situation, make an effort to go with the flow, practice forgiveness, and make forgiveness a habit. [12:13] Mercury sextiles Uranus (June 26, 2:45 AM PDT), at 29º28' Cancer-Taurus. Here's an opportunity to change perspective and tell a different story. Mercury is on the Sabian symbol 30 Cancer, A Daughter of the American Revolution; Uranus is on 30 Taurus, A peacock parading on an ancient lawn. [14:46] The Sun sextiles Mars (June 26, 7:11 AM PDT) at 5º13' Cancer-Virgo. Sun+Mars = energy, focus, and competition, but sometimes anger as well. On the plus side, it's an aspect of creative inspiration. [16:03] On June 26 (12:08 PM PDT), Mercury enters Leeeeeooooo where it will stay until Sep. 2 – a long stay, because it will retrograde in Leo (July 17-Aug 11.) Mercury in Leo tells of our individual heroic journey. How are you the star of your own story? [17:47] On June 27 (8:52 PM PDT), Mercury trines Saturn at 1º44' Leo-Aries. The hero is trained by a master who strips away any hubris and sentiment. [18:33] Mercury trines Neptune (June 28, 4:58 AM PDT) at 2º09' Leo-Aries. There is a fine line between being imaginative and being untruthful. Make sure that you're walking the right side of that line. [19:23] Mercury opposes Pluto (June 29, 12:57 AM PDT) at 3º10' Leo-Aquarius. Sometimes when we tell our story, others might not take it well. Don't let your message be stifled, but remember to listen, too. [20:44] Listener Joanie asks about the Part of Fortune (PoF) in the houses. [24:26] The PoF in the 1st house.

This week, Venus teams up with Saturn and both make inspiring connections with the Moon's North Node. The normally mellow Taurus New Moon is disrupted by power struggles, as the Sun squares, and Mars opposes, Pluto. And (appropriately) a listener question about scary Pluto transits. Plus: Saturn tactics for tough times, folded horns, and bathing with Venus! Read a full transcript of this episode. Have a question you'd like answered on the show? Email April or leave it here!

Timestamps [1:12] Saturn conjuncts the North Node (April 21, 4:31 am PDT) at 26°50' Pisces, on Sabian symbol 27 Pisces, A Harvest Moon. This is the first conjunction between Saturn and the North Node since September 2013. You might succeed in a way that you have envisioned and hoped for, but sometimes the success comes in a form you never could have imagined. [2:28] Venus conjuncts the North Node (April 23, 9:35 pm PDT) at 26°54' Pisces. This transit can indicate that close friends or partners are helping you achieve success.  [3:00] The Sun squares Pluto (April 23, 10:10 am PDT) at 3º47' Taurus-Aquarius. The Sun's Sabian symbol is 4 Taurus, The rainbow's pot of gold; Pluto is on 4 Aquarius, A Hindu healer. Claim your importance, and let go of anything that you no longer need.  [5:26] Venus conjuncts Saturn (April 24, 5:02 pm PDT) at 27°13' Pisces, on Sabian symbol 28 Pisces, A fertile garden under the Full Moon. This concludes a Venus-Saturn series that began on Jan. 18 and repeated on April 7. Are you any clearer about what you want in relationships and in the way you earn your money?  [7:53] Mars opposes Pluto (April 26, 6:05 pm PDT) at 3º48' Leo-Aquarius. The usual interpretation of Mars with Pluto has to do with power struggles and dealing with forces beyond your control. What matters most in these situations is how you handle powerlessness, anger, and frustration. Mars' Sabian symbol, 4 Leo, is A man formally dressed and a deer with its horns folded. Pluto's Sabian symbol is sometimes written as, A Hindu Yogi demonstrates his healing powers. [10:18] Moon Report! The Taurus New Moon is on April 27 (12:31 pm PDT), at 7º46' Taurus. The Moon is exalted in the sign of Taurus, so this is one of the most powerful New Moons of the year. But the Mars-Pluto opposition makes this a little more of a tumultuous New Moon. Taurus is ruled by Venus, so enjoy the sensual aspects of life. The Sabian symbol for this New Moon degree is 8 Taurus, A sleigh without snow. [13:29] This New Moon begins a lunar phase family cycle (LPFC) that unfolds over the next three years. Make a careful note of what your intentions are, what you would like to achieve in your physical health, financial abundance, and sense of security. Jan. 25, 2026 is the First Quarter Moon (first action point) of this LPFC, the Full Moon (awareness point) is on Oct. 25, 2026, the Last Quarter Moon (final action point) is on July 26, 2027. [15:34] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods. On April 22 (2:55 pm PDT), the Moon in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus. It's VOC for 7 hours 12 minutes, then enters Pisces (10:07 pm PDT). Step out of your safety zone to do things on your own. [16:40] On April 24 (7:57 pm PDT), the Moon in Pisces conjoins Venus. It's VOC for 4 hours 27 minutes, then enters Aries on April 25 (12:24 am PDT). Enjoy all of the Venusian things life has to offer, but don't go overboard. [18:11] On April 26 (9:18 am PDT), the Moon in Aries sextiles Jupiter. The Moon is VOC for 14 hours 59 minutes (!!!), then enters Taurus on April 27 (12:17 am PDT). Share the good things that come your way and offer encouraging words to other people. [19:18] Listener Pomahoba asks about scary Pluto transits.
