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.

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.

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.

This week carries weight — and the Moon is telling the story.In this weekly astrology forecast for May 25–31, 2026, we're closing out the month with a powerful crossroads, rising pressure, emotional truth, and the kind of clarity that can no longer be ignored. From a diplomatic Libra Moon, into a revealing Scorpio Moon, and then into a shifting Sagittarius Moon, the emotional tone of this week matters just as much as the transits themselves.This is not a soft week, but it is a clarifying one. If something has been building quietly beneath the surface, this may be the week it becomes impossible to ignore. The message here is not to force an outcome — it's to let the pressure show you what is actually aligned, what is no longer sustainable, and what is strong enough to last.Inside this forecast, we cover:✨ The Moon flow of the week and why the emotional pacing matters more than usual✨ Void Moon timing and where you may need to pause, process, and avoid forcing a launch✨ The Sun square the Nodes and the crossroads between logic, intuition, old patterns, and the next chapter asking for your trust✨ Mars square Pluto and the pressure point that brings power struggles, hard truths, deep focus, and the need to stop forcing what isn't aligned✨ The Sun trine Pluto and the deeper clarity, strategy, and stronger decision-making that arrives after the tension peaks✨ Venus square Saturn and the emotional reality check around love, money, values, boundaries, and what can actually hold long-termThis week may test a few things, but that doesn't mean it's against you.Sometimes the pressure is what shows you what can't come with you into the next chapter. And sometimes the truth arrives before your heart and mind fully catch up.If you want your written weekly horoscope, your monthly horoscope, or want to try the Scheduling Fate Membership (with the astrology calendar, private chats, daily rituals, and discounts), head over to The Southern Mystic.

This episode of JOY Rules™ is a Venus-day love ceremony where we remember: JOY isn't optional—JOY Rules.  The tables are turned and I'm the guest—sharing a warm, wise, JOY-charged conversation with Terra Bundance, who previously visited the show for a heart-opening episode about authenticity and choosing JOY moment by moment. Why “Double Venus”? Because the cosmos is winking at us. I'm a Libra Sun with a Taurus Moon, and Terra is a Taurus Sun with a Libra Moon—a mirrored pairing of Venus wisdom, beauty, values, and soulful truth. And since JOY Rules™ invites us to reclaim JOY as essential, what better day than Friday—Venus Day—to talk about relationships as sacred curriculum, Divine appointments, and Holy Encounters?  With all our combined Venus energy., this is  a subject near and dear to our hearts.Together we explore my 7 Relationship Truths—the ones I've lived, earned, cried through, danced through, and ultimately used to reclaim JOY (even 6 marriages?) Every relationship is a sacred gift—beginning with the one with you. Happy, fulfilling, abundant relationships are ONLY possible when you become your own best friend, parent, and partner. Relationships are mirrors.  Everyone is a reflection of you...showing you your light and your lessons. You “script” your relationships… and ONLY you can rewrite the story. Your greatest challengers are your greatest teachers, your champions, and your healing angels. Relationships  never die or end; they simply change form. Astrology helps reveal who arrives, when, and why—for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. If you're ready to let love in ALL your relationships be lighter, truer, and more JOYful—this episode is your invitation to come home to your heart.

Episode 161 – The Astrology of Brooklyn Beckham & Nicola Peltz: Venus Score, Karmic Saturn, and Family Tensions In Episode 161, astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield unpack the controversial astrology of Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz. We start with Brooklyn's chart: a likable, peacemaking Libra rising, plus a Libra Moon in the 1st house—explaining his mother's prominent role in his life. But with Venus in Aries opposing that Moon, there's high tension between heating things up and cooling down (aka lovers vs. mother). His sensitive Pisces Sun squares Pluto, pointing to marked periods of feeling powerless and lost. Then, Nicola's chart: a goal-oriented Capricorn Sun with an ego-dissolving Neptune conjunction, plus Saturn in Pisces—lessons around unavoidable harsh realities. An intense Jupiter-Venus-Pluto conjunction reveals disproportionate power dynamics, especially with money and relationships. Together, they share compatible Sun sextiles (helping each other shine) and trine Jupiters (adventure, growth, easily accepted belief systems). Saturn is prominent in both charts—one conjunct Moon, the other conjunct Sun—making this a karmic, hard-work relationship meant to mature them. We also find a T-square: Nicola's Sun gets hit by both Brooklyn's Venus and Moon—signaling fights between family and relational needs. Can a confusing Neptune-Mercury conjunction allow for clear communication? Listen in to hear what Venus score this new couple receives. Download the Digital Workshop!

First, let's review: When the Sagittarius New Moon kicked off this month's lunar cycle on December 19, it asked us to plant seeds that would grow into a deeper sense of what our soul knows is truly moral, ethical, & just.However, this lunation illustrated that this wasn't going to be easy an easy task. That's because both luminaries in Sagittarius—partnered with Venus & Juno in Sadge & waxing toward Mars in Capricorn—were square to (read: blocked by) both Saturn & Neptune in Pisces as they attempted to dissolve our moral foundations. The Sadge Moon & Sun also became the focal part of a yod to both Jupiter retrograde in Cancer & Uranus retrograde in Taurus, indicating adjustments needed to be made to achieve this lunation's goal.Meanwhile, Jupiter, the ruler of the Sagittarius New Moon, was square to both wounded healer Chiron & dwarf planet of chaos & discord Eris in Aries, a sign that the path to ethical justice might be strewn with painful & chaotic battles. Since then, however, the plot thickened when the January 3 Cancer Full Moon implored the Capricorn Sun to have a greater sense of compassion rather than focusing only on what the Sun considered to be “success,” but was stymied by its opposition to the Sun, Venus, & Mars in Capricorn. Only a few hours after exact, the Cancer Moon conjoined with Jupiter, an aspect many consider lucky. However, given that the conjunctions of the Sun to Venus, Venus to Mars, & the Sun to Mars between January 6-10 are now waxing opposite to Jupiter, we're looking less at luck & more at a test of our own morality & sense of true justice now.The point? That this Cancer Full Moon has revealed to us all now with stark clarity that expansively arrogant Jupiterian hubristic actions can pervert our sense of justice by converting it into an indefensible “righteous” mission. CHIRON DIRECT IN ARIES: CAN THE PEOPLE TAKE BACK THEIR MORAL POWER?This podcast takes a deep dive into what's occurred astrologically speaking since the new year began on January 1, when Mercury entered serious Capricorn, wounded healer Chiron stationed direct in Aries on January 2, & we experienced the Cancer Full Moon on January 3. As the climax of the December 19 Sagittarius New Moon's energy, the January 3 Cancer Full Moon has highlighted clearly the impediments to achieving what our soul knows deep down to be just, moral, & ethical.That has come in the form of watching a nation that's often referred to itself as a world leader in terms of democracy & upholding the rule of law morph into a law breaker in the name of some perverted sense of “justice.”And, yes, we're talking about the U.S.'s military incursion into Caracas, Venezuela, in order to kidnap its president Nicolas Maduro—regardless of whether he was illegally elected or not--& his wife in the dead of night, all without Congressional approval.  And, yes, we're talking about the Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency brownshirt-type goons who smash car windows, break down doors, & haul people suspected of crimes into detention—& often deport them summarily without due process.But the worst immoral & unethical crime of all is being committed by ICE members when they murder innocent people in the name of “justice,” as just happened twice in Minneapolis, Minnesota, & Portland, Oregon within two days of each other.The United States was born with Chiron in Aries. That American colonists were originally stymied in their will to act is part of our psychological childhood, since Chiron resides in the U.S. Sibly natal chart's 4th House of our psychological roots. The fact that Chiron is now direct tells us that we're going to be waking up even more to the fact that we've been wounded by congressional inaction to right the wrongs of an arrogant president & his administration. And that we most likely will have to fight to regain our freedom from such tyrannical actions.The recent NPR/Ipsos poll released today illustrates this fact, as it “reveals that while Americans across the political spectrum want the U.S. to be a global moral leader, fewer believe it holds that title today,” according to NPR.“The survey highlights a significant gap: 61% of respondents believe the U.S. should be a moral leader, while 39% believe it actually is one. The latter figure shows a steep decline from 2017, when 60% of Americans viewed the nation as a moral leader in a similar survey.”WHO'S MORALITY IS TRULY MORAL? I.E., WHO DIED & MADE YOU GOD?As we approach tomorrow's January 10 third quarter “crisis in consciousness” waning square of the Libra Moon to the Capricorn Sun, we can feel the palpable vibe of people continuing to demand fairness & equity, peace & harmony. That's in the face of a recalcitrant inflexible president who's already declared to the New York Times “that he would be the arbiter of any limits to his authorities, not international law or treaties.”The January 8 article, appearing as we waxed toward today's January 9 exact Sun/Mars conjunction in Saturn-ruled Capricorn was headlined: “Trump Lays Out a Vision of Power Restrained Only by ‘My Own Morality'” It continues: “President Trump declared on Wednesday evening that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his ‘own morality,' brushing aside international law and other checks on his ability to use military might to strike, invade or coerce nations around the world.“Asked in a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times if there were any limits on his global powers, Mr. Trump said: ‘Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me.'…'I don't need international law,' he added. ‘I'm not looking to hurt people.'”“When pressed further about whether his administration needed to abide by international law, Mr. Trump said, ‘I do.' But he made clear he would be the arbiter when such constraints applied to the United States.“'It depends what your definition of international law is,' he said.Mr. Trump's assessment of his own freedom to use any instrument of military, economic or political power to cement American supremacy was the most blunt acknowledgment yet of his worldview. At its core is the concept that national strength, rather than laws, treaties and conventions, should be the deciding factor as powers collide.“On topic after topic, President Trump made clear that he would be the arbiter of any limits to his authorities, not international law or treaties.”The question now, as we head toward squares between the Capricorn Venus, Sun, Mars, & Mercury between now and January 16--& Chiron direct in Aries--is whether the pain of U.S. citizens (& others) will be enough to push those in Congress to limit Trump's self-appointed powers. More & more people will doubtless realize that this is not what the U.S. Constitution called for at its inception, not what Americans fought & died for since the Declaration of Independence on July 4, & not the kind of freedom & equality for all it should have morphed into by now.We'll wait & watch to see what comes when Venus enters Aquarius & Mercury conjoins with Mars in Capricorn by January 17 & 18, as that leads us to the Capricorn New Moon on January 18. It's then we'll begin the parade of planets move toward a conjunction with Pluto in Aquarius during the second half of January. Join us for all this & more Astro News You Can Use—including a deeper look at the historical meaning of the Venus/Sun/Mars stellium in Capricorn--& tune in, starting today at 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET, @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking... See you then!!

We've been walking through this Mercury retrograde together since early November, and this week brings us to the peak—the moment of revelation, the turning point, the cosmic “aha!” that shifts everything into place.If you've been feeling like you're dragging extra weight, wondering when things will finally click, or waiting for clarity to emerge from the fog—this is your week.The Big Picture: What's Happening This WeekMonday, November 17: Emotional RealizationsWe begin the week with a beautiful Grand Trine in water signs (Sun, Saturn, Neptune, and Jupiter), bringing emotional shifts and realizations. You may have already felt something change over the weekend—a shift in how you feel about whatever this Mercury retrograde has been asking you to review.This Grand Trine is about coming into understanding. Old belief systems are being examined. Emotional healing is happening. You're recognizing something important about your path.There's also a Yod (Finger of God) pointing at the Libra Moon from Saturn/Neptune in Pisces and Uranus in Taurus. This temporary but powerful aspect brings a moment of revelation—especially around justice, truth, and what we've been hiding. With the Epstein files being released this week, we're seeing the “Great Reveal” continue to unfold in our collective consciousness.Note: Monday has an all-day void-of-course moon, but after that, the rest of the week has minimal void periods—meaning energy moves fast.Wednesday-Thursday, November 20-21: The Mercury Retrograde PeakThis is it. The Cazemi—when Mercury retrograde, the Sun, and the Moon all come together at 28 degrees Scorpio for the New Moon.A Cazemi happens when a planet is at the exact same degree as the Sun, amplifying and intensifying that planet's energy. With Mercury retrograde involved, this new moon is about:* Messages delivered from the universe* Surprises that redirect your path (thanks to the opposition with Uranus in Taurus)* Deep realizations about what you thought you wanted vs. what you're actually meant to do* Resolution of issues that have been brewing since late OctoberThis is the moment when Mercury retrograde says: “Not that way—THIS way.”You might feel like the universe just nudged you off your expected path. But don't worry—this is part of a Grand Trine, which means it will come together easily. What feels like a surprise or disruption is actually a blessing in disguise, guiding you toward your authentic path.New Moon Intentions: This is a powerful time to set intentions around transformation, shadow work, emotional healing, and stepping into your truth. Scorpio energy asks you to go deep and be real with yourself.Saturday, November 22: Sun Enters SagittariusThe Sun moves out of Scorpio's intense, shadow-diving energy and into Sagittarius—the sign of adventure, optimism, expansion, and truth-seeking.This shift takes the cosmic spotlight off your shadow and invites you to look forward with hope and enthusiasm. By the weekend, you'll likely feel lighter, clearer, and ready to move ahead.What This Means for YOU: Horoscopes by SignGet the Video Versions of these Horoscopes on our Shorts on Youtube♈ Aries (March 21 - April 19)This Mercury retrograde peak is happening in your 8th house of shared resources, intimacy, and transformation.

New Moon in Libra: critiquing our institutions

In Episode 136, astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield take a deep dive into the enduring 28-year coupling between Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker and her Tony Award winning husband, Matthew Broderick.   We begin with Sarah's chart, revealing a trendsetting Aries Sun conjunct Venus, highlighting her pioneering spirit and strong valuation of independence. Her Capricorn Moon points to childhood hardships and an emotional need for a solid career and reputation, while Saturn in Pisces brings structure to a romantic, glamorous world—much like the one she created in SATC.   Matthew's chart also features an Aries Sun and Venus, but it's opposed by a Libra Moon, softening his Aries energy and contributing to the schoolboy charm he's known for. A stabilizing Saturn/Moon trine suggests maturity in his home life, and an Aquarius stellium reveals a zany, rebellious side.   Together, their conjunct Suns create a powerful mirroring effect, and a Sun/Moon opposition provides a supportive, comfortable, and emotionally secure foundation. A Moon/Chiron sextile indicates a profound ability to heal each other, while Moon/Neptune shows an intuitive sync. However, mutually challenging Venus/Moon aspects can create difficulties in domestic agreements, and a Mercury/Pluto opposition may bring tendencies toward paranoia and secrecy. So, how does this iconic couple's synastry ultimately rate? Tune in to discover the final Venus score we gave them!   Book a Reading with us!

https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking tune into this week's Astro News You Can Use podcast with Sheri Horn Hasan discussing this past week's astro-influenced events & what's yet to come, including the results of Mercury & Venus's stations direct!Astrologer Sheri Horn Hasan first looks back at how the April 4 first-quarter “crisis in action” waxing monthly lunar cardinal square of the Cancer Moon to the Aries Sun spurred people into action under the mantra of “Hands Off!” If you're a regular podcast listener, you'll have heard on this podcast before the statement that when enough people are affected personally, that's when they will take to the streets in large numbers. Well, that's what an estimated 5.2 million of them did—old, young, and in between—to tell the current U.S. Government “hands off” my medical care & research, my social security, my educational opportunities, my job, my civil rights, right to bodily autonomy, and so much more. Meanwhile Mercury's station direct in Pisces on April 7 seems to have proven what Erin Sullivan says in her book “Retrograde Planets, Traversing the Inner Landscape,” which is that it marks a time to “engage in observation and begin to pay attention.” Well, hard not to pay attention to U.S. President Trump's on-again off-again tariff threats against ALL U.S. trading partners—that resulted in putting the U.S. stock market--& by association global markets—into free fall this past week.Trump is a Gemini Sun/Uranus, which in its lowest manifestation is far more than “mercurial”--& as has been proven throughout his time in the presidency--to be erratic & mayhem-oriented. So, the whipsaw like back and forth on tariffs during both Mercury & Venus retrograde periods should really be no surprise. (This podcast highlights how the recent Mercury retrograde period triggered an important T-square in Trump's chart, so give it a listen!)What's changing now, however, is how undeniably obvious this has become as well as how potentially disruptive to both the U.S. & global trade & economy. With Mercury now direct, however, we've seen yet again additional changes in plans from the U.S. Government vis-à-vis tariffs.What's becoming more and more obvious, however, to even the average news absorber, is that Trump's assumption that his tariffs will succeed when they've been historically proven to weaken America's dollar, lead to losses for American companies, & create turmoil in the financial markets, is their complete unworkability. We approach now the April 12 Libra Full Moon, which occurs at 23'20' Libra in opposition to the Aries Sun conjunct wounded healer Chiron, while they all form a cardinal T-square to Mars in Cancer. Less than an hour later Venus stations direct in Pisces, telling us it's time to check in on the status of our partnerships.Can you spell "F-R-U-S-T-R-A-T-I-O-N?" As both Venus & Mercury begin to gather speed in their forward trajectory, we can see more clearly the results of how these astrological energies are currently playing out, at least here in America. This lunation highlights that we have here a “wounded king/ruler/autocrat wanna-be” facing opposition from the “people,” who desire to be more partnership-oriented with the rest of the world rather than less.In essence, this lunation—which has the Libra Moon reflecting back to the wounded Sun its own light—asks us to release any tendencies toward an “it's my way or the highway” type leadership that leads only to opposition, and to begin to negotiate & compromise. This becomes difficult, however, since what's wounded the Aries Sun is its lack of ability to back down in the face of having proactively made disastrous decisions.We look forward now to Mercury reentering Aries on April 16 or 17, depending on your time zone, and Mars reentering Leo April 17/18. Will Trump double down on his losing proposition to impose 145% tariffs on Chinese imports as China ups the ante by raising its tariff rates on U.S. goods to 125 percent on April 12? Especially when economists already know that this kind of trade war will result in higher prices for American consumers. “China's factories produce more than those in the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea and Britain combined, and many of the products imported to the United States come from China,” according to the New York Times.And that's not mentioning how the U.S. House of Representatives managed to pass a continuing budget resolution on April 10, as we waxed toward the Libra Full Moon, that will keep Trump's 2017 tax cuts for billionaires & cut trillions from government services. This passed 216 to 214, with zero democrats voting for it & two republicans jumping ship to side with the democrats.This podcast discusses the arduous task ahead for Congress to rectify the House & Senate versions of this bill, along with how it will result in growing opposition by an ever-enlarging group of those who'll be personally affected by such cuts. Especially those who don't believe their elected officials promises not to cut government funding for Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, federal jobs, disease research, veteran's benefits, and so much more…Tune in to https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking for all of this, plus more Astro News You Can Use, including how this Venus retrograde period has resulted in seriously impactful partnership re-alignments & weakened America's reputation as a financially stable & reliable partner. And, a deeper discussion of the greater meaning of this year's future Mercury retrogrades through the fire element & how we can use this energy to our advantage moving forward. See you later! Namaste…IBRA FULL MOON OPPOSITE ARIES SUN/CHIRON & SQUARE MARS: YOU'VE WOUNDED US & WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!

In episode 118 astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield take on NBA's greatest 3-point shooter, Stephen Curry and his entrepreneurial wife, Ayesha Curry. The two first met as teenagers and remained friends until a romantic spark was lit and they decided to take their relationship to the next level, eventually marrying and having four children together.    First, we look into Ayesha's chart and see a willful, self-motivating Aries Sun. This, combined with a square from Uranus produces someone who makes her own rules and loves to move at lightening speed. However, finding balance is importanat to her as well thanks to her Libra Moon. We also notice an intuitive stellium in Pisces which makes the art of sacrifice easy for her.   Next we look at Stephen's chart, and see a proud champion thanks to his Leo Rising sign and his Sun in the athletic and adventurous Ninth House. He's always on the hunt for bigger and better accomplishments. We also see an Aquarius Moon, giving him an outsider quality that sets him apart from other players. However, he also has a challenging T-Square from Venus and Pluto causing tension and issues with power dynamics in relationships.   Looking at their compatibility, they have a strong, romantic conjunction between his Sun and her Venus in Pisces, creating feelings of true love and compassion. We also see a promising Sun/Moon sextile, telling us they're partners in crime, but also supportive of each other. But a Saturn/Sun square along with Moon/Mars square definitely adds challenges to the marriage. Careers versus Love, Impatience versus Sensitivity and a heavy sense of responsibility might not make this relationship so easy.   Listen in to hear what Venus score this long-standing couple receives!   Book a Reading with us!

Shannon Shaw's signature is to channel her layered feelings into her art. As the founder and vocalist of the indie punk band Shannon and the Clams, she has shared about some of the hardest things in her life through her music. Earlier this year Shannon and her band released their latest album: The Moon is in the Wrong Place.
