Episode 20In this podcast, professional astrologers Chani Nicholas, Thea Anderson, and Eliza Robertson look to the sky to make sense of what's happening here on Earth.This episode brings you into the astrological group chat to talk through how the Full Moon in Scorpio, the Uranus cazimi, and Jupiter's square to the lunar nodes have manifested IRL. We get into everything from the Democratic cover-up of Joe Biden's decline to the start of the Diddy trial, the fire at a 166-year-old plantation, and the selection of the new Pope — then we break down how these key astrological events have shown up in the collective. We also look ahead to Saturn's shift into Aries and unpack what that transit means for anyone entering a Saturn return, or any other significant Saturn transit. We rant. We reflect. We keep it real. There's a lot to get to, so let's get going.Content warning: sex trafficking, sexual assault, genocide, slavery, murder, wildfiresTimestamps:(00:00) - Welcome to Down to Astro episode 20(08:56) - Personal stories from the Scorpio Full Moon(15:00) - Political reflections: Joe Biden's Scorpio stellium(21:00) - The Diddy trial: uncovering dark secrets(26:56) - Cassie's case and the Mars Synodic Cycle(36:44) - Historical parallels: Anita Hill and Cassie(38:16) - Mars cazimi, 1991 and now: South Africa in the news(42:22) - The Full Moon and high-profile trials(44:48) - The importance of centering survivors(48:08) - Saturn, Ceres, and Cassie on the stand(50:42) -  Burning down the past: Neptune and the Nottoway Plantation fire(57:39) - The Scorpio Moon, the Mars–Pluto opposition, and global politics(01:07:39) - Power outages, tech failures, and the Uranus cazimi(01:14:04) - The significance of Jupiter's square to the nodes of the Moon(01:18:21) - Jupiter, ChatGPT, and the impact of tech in higher education(01:22:44) - The astrology of Pope Leo XIV(01:30:45) - Saturn's shift into Aries(01:37:40) - Navigating your second Saturn return(01:39:45) - Saturn squares: key Saturn transits in your 30s and 40s(01:41:09) - Upcoming astrological shifts: Saturn in Aries and Jupiter in CancerThis episode was recorded on 5/20/2025.For more astrological insights, download the CHANI app or follow CHANI on Instagram, TikTok, and Bluesky.The song “Midas,” featured in the podcast, was created by NISHA and is available wherever you listen to music.This episode also mentioned the following creative works:Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again by Jake Tapper and Alex ThompsonWe Do Not Care Club series on TikTok by @justbeingmelaniDoppelganger by Naomi KleinP.S.

In episode 122 astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield examine the synastry between newlywed couple actress Kristen Stewart and screenwriter Dylan Meyer.  The two first got engaged in 2021 then on April 20th, 2025 they held a quiet wedding! Both were born and raised in Los Angeles and share a few more interesting similarities!   First, we look at Kristen's chart and see a dualistic, intelligent, and quirky Gemini Rising. From there we move to her strong and intense Aries Sun, independence is important to her! However, with a Full Moon in Libra, we know that lessons in fairness and compromise are paramount to her life's story. We also get a Neptune square to both Sun and Moon, telling us there can be confusion around her personal identity and tendency toward over sensitivity.   Next, we read Dylan's chart and see another fiery Sun in Sagittarius with a Full Moon in Gemini! This creates a knowledge centered, sharp minded, and active individual. We also see a Mercury/Moon opposition, indicating that sometimes her words come out too impulsively while an intriguing Mars/Pluto conjunction shows an intense and extremely determined side to her personality.   Together, their synastry is striking! Not only do they share several of the same planet relationships natally, like Full Moons, Mars/Pluto, and Venus/Neptune aspects, they also share powerful synastry with each other. We loved seeing their trine Fire Suns and a loving Venus sextile. There is certainly "twin" energy here (further proved by a Gemini Moon conjunct a Gemini Ascendant) and also a general level of vitality and value systems that blend well together.  A Venus/Mars tells us of their immediate attraction, but can a Mercury/Mars/Pluto opposition drop down their Venus score?

Under this Scorpio Full Moon, we're invited into the depths—not just for catharsis, but for clarity. In this episode, I take you deep into the energetic, astrological, and herbal layers of the May 12th Scorpio Full Moon. We unravel the undercurrents of shadow desire, sacred rage, and the unseen forces that shape our healing. This is for the healers, the disruptors, the intuitives who feel the stirrings of something ancient rising through their own fire and the waters. Together, we explore: The powerful story arc initiated by the Mars–Pluto opposition. Why passion can liberate—or consume—and how to become its conscious steward. The elemental medicine of Scorpio: working with fire and water to rebirth what's been buried. Astro insights on Mars, Pluto, Uranus, Venus, and how they're conspiring in your favor. Herbal wisdom + sacred plants for Scorpio's medicine A heart-rooted invitation to balance your inner fire and intuition.

We begin by discussing all the ASTRO NEWS YOU CAN USE from this past week, how it's played out, & what's on the horizon as we make our way through this month's lunar cycle which began with the Taurus New Moon square to the Mars/Pluto opposition on April 27.Since Venus's entrance into Aries April 30 (until June 6), we've seen some “let them eat cake” resistance to consumer prices heating up due to pending tariff wars begun by the U.S. Government. And the Venus/Neptune conjunction in Aries May 2 illustrated a likewise laissez faire attitude toward the U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment by President Donald Trump who, when asked on Meet The Press if he agreed “that citizens and noncitizens in the United States were entitled to due process,” was less than comforting.“I don't know,” Mr. Trump replied. “I'm not, I'm not a lawyer. I don't know.” This as we waxed toward the first quarter monthly lunar “crisis in action” square of the Leo Moon to the Taurus Sun May 4, illustrating the vague nonchalance yet recalcitrance of a stubborn leader (Taurus Sun) to take responsibility for the due process rights of individuals (Leo Moon) under U.S. law. Keep in mind that our short-term monthly mission since April 27's Taurus New Moon has been to plant seeds that reflect our more present-day values--as opposed to old, outdated, no longer applicable ones, like say, that trickle-down economics is the way to go, lol. Or, that corporate & billionaire money & power are more important than individual peoples' health & well-being. You know, stuff like that… However, the major point of this month's lunation is that once we discover (or rediscover) our soul's true, lasting values, we may have to fight for them, as per the Mars opposite Pluto signature at the Taurus New Moon.Meanwhile Pluto's station retrograde on May 4 (until October 14) provides us all the perfect opportunity to dig deeply into our psyches to better discover our soul's true, lasting values. In doing so, we discover our shadow sides and bring them out into the light to be forever vanquished. The end result is that of greater personal empowerment, yeah!We look too at the upcoming entrance of Mercury into Taurus on May 10, & the already anticipated slowdown of both travel & trade. Ports on the West Coast are already reporting fewer ships docking there from places like China, a redux of the pandemic era's import shortages from only a few short years ago. Likewise, tourism to America and spending on travel within America, is down and forecast to stay that way for the foreseeable future.As we wax toward the May 12 Scorpio Full Moon which conjoins Juno, the archetypal symbol of partnership, & opposes the Taurus Sun, Uranus, & goddess of health Hygeia, we've already seen a few surprising firsts. On April 8—after a surprisingly quick conclave in Rome that lasted less than two full days—the first American-born Pope was chosen to lead the world's 1.4 billion Catholics. In addition to being the first American to become pope, Pope Leo XIV is also the first member of the Augustinian Order, a Catholic religious order founded in 1244. He attended St. Augustine Seminary near Holland, Michigan, and spent much of his career as a missionary in Peru.“Peace be with you,” Pope Leo XIV greeted his new followers, & we await to see if this is, indeed, going to be true, as he will be tasked with confronting difficult decisions about the church's direction, including the issue of greater inclusion.In addition, the inclusion of Hygeia in this lunar equation, partnered with Uranus in the sign of the physical body (read: Taurus) may signal a rapid change in the world's health situation. Think of the starving children in Gaza (& other places deprived of food & medical care due to war and the now defunct services from USAID), & how U.S. farmers' crops rot in silos due to increased tariffs on importing nations. Then there's the fact that Mercury square Pluto at this lunation brings a measure of obsessiveness to the U.S. House of Representatives' struggle still to come up with a governmental budget reconciliation bill by Memorial Day that doesn't throw 77 million people off of Medicaid—especially in GOP districts. And that's just so corporate billionaires can reduce their taxes under a proposed extension of President Trump's 2017 corporate tax reduction due to expire by end 2025. And that's not even mentioning financial cuts already made to Veteran's benefits & potential cuts to Medicare, Social Security, etc., & the loss of medical benefits of laid off or fired federal workers under unelected billionaire Elon Musk's DOGE. We discuss the sticking point of state & local tax caps (read: reducing family's tax deductions) bandied about in the House now, too…There's also the implications of transiting Jupiter in Gemini's pending mutable square to the transiting Virgo South Node & Pisces North Node as all things Jupiter-related have made their way into the news recently. Law, higher education, foreign travel (read: immigration), media, & religion—of which the new first time American Pope's election is but one subject under Jupiter's domain—are all prominent now, especially between May 15-28 as both the Mean & True Nodes are squared exact by Jupiter during this period. Keep in mind, too, that more surprises are ahead--not only at the Scorpio Full Moon opposite the Sun & Uranus in Taurus May 12—but between now and the Sun's exact conjunction to Uranus on May 17.

That's also healing.”Frequently Asked Questions 1. What does the planetary alignment mean for this week?

LISTEN HERE https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking TO THIS WEEK'S ASTRO NEWS YOU CAN USE PODCAST WITH SHERI HORN HASAN! This podcast, which drops May 2, discusses the intensity of this Taurus New Moon waxing cycle, as well as what's happening since Venus entered Mars-ruled Aries April 30. With Venus in the sign of the warrior until June 6 & Pluto in Aquarius seemingly fuh-evah, is it time to fight for the values we hold dearest?  First we recount the multitude of events leading up to the April 26 Mars/Pluto exact opposition, & since the Taurus New Moon squared the Mars/Pluto opposition on April 27. And how these fit the Mars resistance against attempts by those who seek power over others, & the current themes of both empowerment & disempowerment.We note how, with President Donald Trump's popularity sinking in the polls, how his & his government's disempowering actions against immigrants, federal workers, universities, etc. (read: Pluto), have driven people out onto the streets in protest all across the U.S. (read: Mars.)We look also at some of the other horrific events as we waxed toward the April 26 exact Mars/Pluto opposition & the April 27 Taurus New Moon which carries the energy of these aspect. You know, stuff like the April 22 massacre of 26 people, most of them tourists, in the disputed region of Kashmir which has brought two nuclear powers—India & Pakistan—to the brink of war. Then there's the Iranian port explosion & fire from April 26 that killed at least 70 people and injured over 1,200 others, according to Iranian state media reports. Of course, April 26 was also the day Pope Francis was laid to rest, an event at which U.S. & Ukrainian presidents Donald Trump & Volodymyr Zelensky sat down together to confirm a minerals deal. That meeting seems to have resolved the tension between the two which began during their last, extremely contentious, Oval Office meeting in Washington February 28.Also, we take a deeper dive into the chart of Virginia Giuffre, the sex trafficked victim of Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell, & what was triggered in her natal chart that led to her death by suicide on April 25. Hint: This involves the triggering by transit of her natal Mars/Pluto square, so tune in for more!We take a deep dive as well into the far-reaching meaning of this Taurus New Moon's waxing square of the Leo Moon to the Taurus Sun May 4 and how it asks us all to stand our ground. Combined with Pluto's station retrograde in Aquarius May 4, we can grasp the deeper meaning of getting in touch with our deepest reservoirs of self-empowerment based on what our soul knows to be our truest values.We're watching too, the transiting conjunction of Uranus to fixed star Algol, exact this week as we watch to see who's head is going to fall next. Seems that Mike Walz, Trump's national security advisor, is the most recent as he takes the fall for Signal-gate back when DoD Secretary's classified information about the U.S. bombing of Yemen was accidentally exposed to both a journalist, and to the defense secretary's wife. So far, he's only been demoted to ambassador to the United Nations (pending confirmation), but we're watching this space to see who—if anyone—is next…K, be sure to join us at  https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking for all this Astro News You Can Use, as well as the upcoming square of transiting Jupiter to the transiting nodal axis. As Jupiter in Gemini creates a mutable T-square to the Virgo South Node & the Pisces North Node, will we see increased tension between those who maintain a hubristic king-like arrogance & those who demand a greater sense of morality & justice from a despot wannabe? It would seem obvious to sky watchers at this point that abuse of the legal system here in the U.S. cannot be tolerated as mothers of 1 & 2 & 4 year-old children (including one with cancer) are faced with the choice between being deported alone or with their children. Or, in some documented cases, no choice at all, as in the case of the one year-old separated from his deported mother while still being breastfed. Join us for the latest news from the courts decisions defying the U.S. Government's disregard & disrespect for due process & the rule of law as set down in the U.S. Constitution. These forbid future deportations based on assumptions rather than facts without allowing one to exercise one's day in court. We review as well a federal Trump-appointed judge who ruled against using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport people because the U.S. IS NOT AT WAR WITH ANOTHER NATION.Tune in to find out additional astro details about how how Americans are standing their ground! See you then! Namaste…

Taurus season stabilizes energies, yet there is a deeper core awakening unfolding after the 3rd Mars-Pluto opposition that is activating more crystalline energy fields in the Earth and in ourselves.

In episode 120 astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield take on often controversial Alec and Hilaria Baldwin. This couple has the greatest age gap (25 years) that's ever been analyzed on the show!    First, we read Hilaria's chart and see a determined and success-seeking Capricorn Sun. With a sextile from Saturn, it's not a suprise that she started a yoga studio franchise while she was still in college - she has a natural apptitude for business! Noticing her intense Mars/Pluto conjunction there is likely a ruthless and extremely powerful side to her as well, while her Aquarius Moon shows a friendly demeanor and need for community.    Looking at Alec's chart, we see an assertive and strong-willed Aries Sun with a sextile to Mars, making him extremely direct and passionate about everything he does. We also see both Mars and Venus in Aquarius, telling us he likes his relationships to be built on friendship and to also have a rebellious and slightly detached nature. Although, an intense Venus/Pluto opposition speaks of control and jealousy issues when it comes to relationships.   Together their Cardinal Suns square each other, which inidcates ego clashes and fighting for the spotlight. They also have a tight Venus/Mars trine in air signs which gives them huge points when it comes to genuine physical attraction and intellectual chemistry. Adding a sensitive Venus/Moon conjunction reveals deep affection and comfortability with each other. Can their age gap work thanks to the rare Pluto sextile?

This episode brings in some advanced concepts around fixed energy, projections, and planetary archetypes and how they play out in a fixed T-square in Astrology.We have all been experiencing this aspect with the recent new moon in Taurus, that formed a T-square to the months-long Mars-Pluto opposition that just formed its final exact hit on April 26th, the day before the new moon.This episode may help explain some themes you are experiencing in your life in relation to this tension. I explain that the focal point of this T-square: where the new moon happened in Taurus, provides an opportunity for resolution from this tension. Understanding these themes Astrologically gives us the big picture of our journey, so that we can have the perspective to spot, see, and solve challenges that may be too close for us to untangle without this vantage point.

In episode 488 astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock look at the astrological forecast for May of 2025! May opens with the tense Mars-Pluto opposition separating but still in close alignment, and this gets reactivated when Pluto stations in Aquarius and the Moon swings in and acts as a trigger at various points. Venus returns to Aries where it retraces its steps and begins the process of fully winding down its long retrograde period, and Mars is similarly finishing up its broader retrograde cycle as it makes its way through Leo. The most important transits this month is that Saturn moves into the sign of Aries on May 24, and this marks the beginning of a three year transit through this sign, where it will meet up with Neptune this summer and early next year. The month ends with an auspicious stellium of planets all meeting up in Gemini, which provides us with one of the best electional charts of the year. We spend the first hour of the episode talking about the astrology of news and events that have occurred since our last forecast, and then in the second half we transition into talking about the astrology of May.

https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN FOR THIS WEEK'S ASTRO NEWS YOU CAN USE PODCAST! This podcast discusses the intensity of astrological events leading up to the third Mars/Pluto opposition April 26 & the Taurus New Moon April 27!We begin by looking back, as that's how we learn best how certain astrological aspects in the sky have manifested within the collective. It's then we can filter this macrocosm of information down into the microcosm of meaning in our own personal lives. So, last week the Sun entered earthy, dependable, stubborn & change resistant Taurus, followed by an empathic Mars/Neptune trine on April 19. This shift became part of American support for the Supreme Court's early morning April 19 ruling that the U.S. must return mistakenly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia from the hellhole prison in El Salvador. It also awakened in us the knowledge that the government's denial of the constitutional right to due process by paying the El Salvadoran dictator $15M to house such prisoners is coming out of taxpayer money.By April 20's third quarter crisis in consciousness monthly lunar waning fixed square of the Aquarius Moon to the Taurus Sun—which included the Moon's opposition to Mars & conjunction to Pluto, along with the Sun's square to Mars—we knew this was a set up for something potentially alarming to happen.And so it did, as hours later as the Moon perfected its conjunction to Pluto, the lord of the underworld, Pope Francis passed away at the age of 88 during the early hours of April 21. This event, occurring two days before the Taurus Sun's exact square to Pluto, & five days before the third Mars/Pluto opposition on April 26, echoed those of the recent past.This podcast discusses the details of the intense events which took place around the first Mars/Pluto opposition on November 3, 2024, the second on January 3, 2025. And what's been leading up now to this third Mars/Pluto opposition as part of this series of intense, potentially violent aspects in the sky. Meanwhile, as it wanes, we discuss the lasting effects of the Aries New Moon solar eclipse monthly lunar cycle, begun on March 29, at the same time as the heliacal rising of Venus during its retrograde cycle. And how these astro-events portended the fallibility of political leaders—with a specific look the dropping poll numbers of American President Donald Trump, & the misfortunes of unelected billionaire Elon Musk since he strayed from steering the helm of his Tesla company's ship to feed a multitude of life-saving U.S. Governmentally-funded programs "into the woodchipper."We look as well at the recent Venus/Saturn & Saturn/North Node conjunctions in the sky & whether or not we collectively take up the mission of reviewing our true values & making a future commitment to them. For example, do we value the rule of law in a democracy—or not? Do we value foundational facts & commitment in our relationships—or not?These kind of intense questions continue through the exact Mars/Pluto conjunction on April 26, and the Taurus New Moon which forms a frictionally tense T-square to the Mars/Pluto opposition April 27. This sets the tone for the month ahead as we attempt to figure out where we've been disempowered and where we may need to fight for future empowerment.We look at all of this through the lens of the U.S. Sibly birth chart from July 4, 1776--especially since April 19 was the 250th anniversary of the first shots fired in Concord & Lexington, MA, that began the U.S. Revolutionary War on April 19, 1775.  And America's current Pluto return as a time when freedom from tyranny & the message of "no kings" rings out from a growing chorus of average American citizens across the land.By the time Venus moves back into Aries on April 30, Mars becomes her dispositor. That means Venus is once again the warrior &, as the ruler of the Sun in Taurus, we're all more inclined to defend & protect not only our own rights, but to fight for the rights of those who are less able to defend & protect themselves.  By the time Venus conjoins Neptune in Aries May 2, we may well see a greater empathic response from the collective related to a myriad number of issues, the importance of which the collective will have awakened to by then. That's as long as we allow the Taurus Sun to ground us & we don't go off into flights of fantasy about what's really happening around us.Be sure to tune in for all this & more starting Friday, April 25 @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking Especially as we head toward next week's Pluto's station retrograde  & Uranus's conjunction to "off with his head!" fixed star Algol May 4/5, as these astro events are sure to be impactful since all planets are in direct motion until then—See you then!

An intense transition period is underway as the 3rd Mars-Pluto opposition occurs on April 26 at 3 deg 48, which creates a Fixed Grand Cross with Black Moon Lilith and the Sun in Taurus. Heightened polarization, violence, and extreme positions are prominent, yet it is up to us to tap into our multidimensional powers to choose a higher expression that supports empowerment, creative breakthroughs, and connecting with an emerging truth. The discomfort reveals a timeline collapse, and that breaking patterns are right on time. The Taurus New Moon at 7 deg 47 brings in a focus on grounding, peace and internal harmony on April 27. Venus makes final conjunctions to the NN and Saturn in Pisces, strengthening her self-love as she then re-enters Aries on April 30. A wild end to the month! More to share in this week's podcast episode.The Nodes of Fate move through Pisces and Virgo from January 2025 to July 2026, bringing energy and focus to where you are ready to embrace more intuition, compassion, soul gifts, and healing.

Mars in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius this weekend. We've experienced this aspect already back in January, 2025. You might be drawn back into a passion or problem that you experienced at that time. That concentrated Mars/Pluto energy can bring about intense fire and conflict. This opposition brings power dynamics to the forefront and calls us to consciously explore them so they don't take over our experiences. Kelly finishes with a brief overview of the lovely New Moon in Taurus with its focus on intention setting and washing the slate clean.Join Kelly's new course, ‘Introduction to Zodiacal Releasing', where she explores this ancient technique that helps you mark out the larger chapters in your life.

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.

Saturn (Responsible One) and Venus (Relational One) conjoin in Pisces to complete a cycle that started in mid-January. It's time to implement what have you learned in the last 3 months about how to be appropriately responsible to your values in relationships and with how best to spend your precious life energy. Plus both Venus and Saturn are conjunct the North Node in Pisces catalyzing you to own your capacity to make the calls in your life. Chani recommends: "commit to the projects worthy of your energy. Say no to everything else."Mars (Action-Taker) in Leo opposes Pluto (Transformer) in Aquarius challenging you to courageously show up in your sovereignty to embrace deep systemic changes that support all beings. Release the small-making pissed-off willful one of you that wants it your way so you can align with the larger evolutionary forces at play.The New Moon in Taurus activates the current Mars-Pluto opposition cycle. Astrobutterfly says: "the New Moon signals a new beginning. The foundations of our life (Taurus) will be tested. The question is – are these foundations a real, authentic expression of who we truly are?" Because if not, then it's time for change.Podcast poem: "Summons" by Aurora Levins MoralesSupport the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.comFollow Sheila: https://www.instagram.com/ontheedgesofchange https://www.pinterest.com/ontheedgesofchange

Send us a textIn this episode I speak on the upcoming fixed T-square that is going on in the next 5 days. The Sun will enter Taurus on April 19th, and will move to square both Mars and Pluto- volcanic energy!  You can decide how you wish to move mountains, with love and positivity. This fixed T-square has happened BEFORE...the first time was May 20, 2023. That time Mars in Leo-oppose Pluto in Aquarius-both squared by Jupiter in Taurus!I did a podcast about that, as my life path completely changed, due to events that occurred on that date. It is episode "Jupiter in Taurus- the boxing ring" and was published on 5/24/2023. Thanks for listening!Support the showAstrology:http://www.kitchensari.comJewelry:https://www.Etsy.com/shop/parkermcpDonations Via PayPal:https://paypal.me/parkermcphinney1?country.x=US&locale.x=en_USBuy me a chai/coffeehttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/parkercI am on RUMBLE.COM now- with short videos of: Astro/Art/Naturehttps://rumble.com/c/c-1989012 All content © 2020-2025 Stardust Stereo .

TUNE IN TO https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking PODCAST AS SHERI HORN HASAN discusses the Sun's entrance into Taurus April 19, the Taurus Sun's fixed square to Mars in Leo, & the Aquarius Moon's opposition to Mars & conjunction with Pluto—all at the third-quarter waning lunar square on April 20.And not only that! The Taurus Sun will go on to perfect its exact square to Pluto in Aquarius April 23, as we gear up for the exact Mars/Pluto opposition from Leo to Aquarius April 26.This podcast discusses how this coming week promises to be an intense one, especially since it will be followed by the Taurus New Moon on April 27 when both luminaries are still in orb of squares to both Mars & Pluto as Mars & Pluto still oppose each other. Can you say “under pressure?” Such pressure is clearly being felt, especially in the U.S. right now, as we've arrived at a constitutional crisis point. Spurred by President Trump's refusal to abide by a unanimous Supreme Court decision, followed by a failed appeal of that decision, we wait to see whether the Sun's move into dependable, practical, predictable Taurus means he will capitulate to the court's authority—or not.This is all part of the potential breakdown in order to break through of the U.S. Pluto return, which was first triggered on February 22, 2022, when transiting Pluto returned to its natal position in the 2nd House in Capricorn. This podcast look at how history has shown that the energies of this return will mimic those from the time of the U.S. Revolutionary War & the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, until the U.S. seated its first president & Supreme Court justices in 1789. And how a larger & larger portion of the American citizenry is beginning to wake up to this reality.So, between 2022 & 2035, we're looking at the potential recurrence of these energies as we wait to see if we have a U.S. president hellbent on becoming a dictator. Pluto says “change or be changed,” and he doesn't care if you want change or not—he's the archetypal energy of the process of evolution. And evolution requires adaptation if we don't want extinction to follow. So the message is: Evolve we must.However, if we want to have some measure of control over what course this evolutionary process will take, we'll have to fight to preserve our democracy's original intent while acknowledging that we must jettison the portions of it that have become rotten. If not, our current democratic system will become extinct. And then it will be reborn in some other fashion.So, we gear up now for a chaotic, potentially violent week as we head toward the third-quarter crisis in consciousness fixed square of the Aquarius Moon (the people) to the Taurus Sun (an intractable stubborn leader) as they both square Mars in Leo. The Aquarius Moon conjoins Pluto in Aquarius at this lunation, while the Sun perfects its square to the god of the underworld on April 23. Will President Trump's defiance of the high court's authority spark some sort of violent action by the time Mars exact opposes Pluto on April 26? And will new revolutionary seeds be planted at the April 27 Taurus New Moon? We wait to find out…however, first we look at how the energies of the U.S. Pluto return have begun to reveal the rot in our current governmental system. And how a capitalist nation has morphed us from our original constitutional intent “of the people, by the people, & for the people” into one run by and for oligarchs such as unelected billionaire Elon Musk. We look at Trump's chart, specifically at where he came into this lifetime as a wounded soul in the area of justice, fairness, & equality as these principles relation to his concept of partnership. We analyze his naturally Venus-ruled 2nd House Jupiter/Chiron/Juno stellium in Libra & put this together with his current demonstrations of how such wounds have manifested in the Jupiterian realm of law, higher education, immigration, & religion. More importantly, though, this is a perfect illustration of how expectations of fairness on the part of Trump' partners has once again been proven wrong, given his 2nd House Juno/Chiron/Jupiter conjunction in Libra wounds to partnership, equity, & fairness. Particularly in the area of law, but no means limited to the legal system's structural concept  of “justice.”For all of this & more Astro News You Can Use tune in to https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking starting today at 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET or any of your favorite podcast stations!

Welcome back, Star Lovelies! This week's star forecast focuses on navigating complex energies, releasing pressure, and stepping into purposeful alignment. The third week of April brings both challenges and opportunities as Mars opposes Pluto for the final week after six months of opposition, urging us all to see things clearly, release steam, and prepare for a powerful New Moon.Key Takeaways From This Week's Cosmic Forecast Navigating Pressure and Complicated EnergiesThis week is all about precision, alignment, and handling the microscope effect—where everything you say, feel, or do may feel scrutinized. Big cosmic shifts are in play as Mars opposes Pluto for the last time during this cycle, intensifying the feeling of being under pressure. There's also a significant Sun influence and a Venus-Saturn connection that stirs feelings of isolation and uncertainty, especially around love and finances.Powerful Quotes"It would be infinitely better to release the pressure in this pressure cooker than taking it out on other people.""You are a leader, so we don't want to put more pressure on you because that's exactly what you don't need. However, being a leader is something that you've already said yes to."Key Questions Answered1. What astrological events are impacting us this week?(00:27) This week features the final Mars-Pluto opposition—a process that began in early November—amplifying intensity and urging precise alignment in our actions. Additional influences from the Sun and a Venus-Saturn meeting on the 25th contribute to feelings of isolation, financial uncertainty, and general vulnerability, but also present an opportunity for growth as clarity returns and momentum builds with the upcoming New Moon.2. How can I productively manage challenging emotions during this intense period?(01:35) Kim recommends finding constructive ways to let off steam, whether through physical activities like axe-throwing, taking meditative breaks, or simply taking time out when emotions run high. Acknowledging your feelings and allowing yourself gentle space for release helps prevent energy from becoming volatile or damaging relationships.3. What should I focus on to align with this week's energy and make the most of it?(02:07) The focus should be on gaining clarity, self-visibility, and embracing leadership. Use mantras to affirm the upward momentum, meditate for intuitive guidance, and recognize that despite complications, the cosmic tide is turning in your favor. Prepare yourself to harness the new moon's energy for setting transformative intentions for love, money, and personal growth.Connect and Grow with Us Thank you for tuning in to Your Star Path to Success!

We're switching into action mode over this week as Mercury re-enters Aries and Mars re-enters Leo, and then both interact with the emerging idealism of Neptune in Aries at 0 degrees. New dreams and high understandings are more personal as a powerful reset is offered right now. Own your transformation and spiritual growth. The Sun enters Taurus on April 19, which is the transition from the inspired action of Aries into the practical application into a realistic form. The Sun in Taurus squares Mars in Leo (0 deg) and Pluto in Aquarius (3 deg 47) into next week, intensifying where change is needed because we are meant to bust through old paradigms and patterns right now - especially the most uncomfortable ones. Go higher into the creative openings that will arrive instead of focusing on what you are resisting. This weekend brings up matters that will continue through the end of April as we approach the 3rd Mars-Pluto opposition on April 26.

This week's astrology focuses on how we can reclaim parts of ourselves that have been disowned or distorted via unconscious processes. There is a strong theme of action, enthusiasm, expression, and also strong activation. This week's astrology includes:- Mercury moves into Aries (and will conjunct Neptune in Pisces & sextile Pluto in Aquarius): Quick thinking, inspired talks, rapid insights, a shift in your perception around issues that have been uncertain or ambiguous for the past month or two. Watch for changes in your dreams, thoughts, & daydreams - and what they may be saying to you now.- Mars moves into Leo (and will oppose Pluto in Aquarius & trine Neptune in Aries): Excitement! Enthusiasm to act, share, express, and be creative in ways that are deeply meaningful to you. Possibly compelled to get something off your chest. Connecting to your power, vitality, courage, and desire to fight for what's important to you.- Sun moves into Taurus: Conscious focus on rooting in, developing and stabilizing. Finding meaningful experiences via the material and sensory world.- Sun-Mars-Pluto t-square: This is a dynamic, energizing, and enlivening combo! It may be quite activating and spur you into action or bring up strong emotions. Possibility for unconscious patterns to arise around power, manipulation, shame, or control. Notice what activates you and give your feelings space to exist. Also symbolizes things like occultism, deep emotional healing, and underworld journeys that bring you closer to your true self.- Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius: Emotional connection to the deeper more intimate parts of yourself and your authentic nature. Deciding what you want to focus on now that is most important to you.- Juno Asteroid (retrograde) moves back into Scorpio: Reconnecting with your inner resilience - especially around issues of intimacy, bonding deeply with other people, and how you move through the varied challenges of long-term commitments. Juno in Scorpio is about the dance between distance and closeness in relationships; and how we can feel safe enough to be vulnerable and depend on others.Wishing you a week of ease, security, and safety

Episode 18In this podcast, professional astrologers Chani Nicholas, Thea Anderson, and Eliza Robertson look to the sky to make sense of what's happening here on Earth.This episode brings you into the astrological group chat to talk through how all of March's astro madness landed IRL. Covering everything from the rising groundswell of anti-Trump activism to Cory Booker's record-breaking Senate speech, the ongoing Signalgate scandal, and Canada's upcoming election, we unpack all the ways the recent retrogrades and eclipses manifested in the collective. And then we look ahead to April and make predictions about what's in store with the much-anticipated Mars–Pluto matchup at the end of the month. The world spins on, and we've got a lot to discuss. So let's get into it.Content warning: Abduction, genocide, acts of warTimestamps:(00:00) - Welcome to Down to Astro episode 18(07:17) - Global protests and political movements(22:59) - 2017 vs. 2025: the influence of Venus retrograde(29:38) - State violence and disappearing protestors(35:32) - Saturn and Neptune: a struggle between structure and erosion(40:49) - The astrology of the Signalgate scandal(55:52) - The Virgo eclipse and the loss of both language and detail under Trump(59:56) - Neptune in Aries: a shift in Canadian national identity(01:12:00) - The sociocultural stakes of the Canadian election(01:14:10) - Historic astro parallels: 1960s and modern migration(01:16:30) - Ask us anything: understanding the reverb of astrological transits(01:25:55) - Predictions for April: the Mars-Pluto oppositionThis episode was recorded on 4/2/2025.For more astrological insights, download the CHANI app or follow CHANI on Instagram, TikTok, and Bluesky.The song “Midas,” featured in the podcast, was created by NISHA and is available wherever you listen to music.This episode also mentioned the following creative works:Ali Olomi's (@aaolomi) X thread about the Virgo eclipseAnxiety by Doechii“The Editor Who Was Accidentally Texted War Plans” by The Daily“The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans” by Jeffrey Goldberg for The Atlantic“These Words Are Disappearing in the New Trump Administration” by Karen Yourish, Annie Daniel, Saurabh Datar, Isaac White, and Lazaro Gamio for The New York TimesP.S.

https://enlighteninglife.com/april-2025-energy-reportDon't get too comfy thinking that March is over and you can relax because April is another action filled month and we also have to deal with the fallout from the March eclipses and energy moves and shifts. We're still in Aries season so action is the theme even with Mars in Cancer, chugging towards Leo and its upcoming showdown with Pluto (again) which happens in April. And we have a few more action elements in April that come into play so keep your intentions high and your lights bright because this is a stand up, show up, and lights up month.April is a 4 month in numerology as April is the 4th month and 2025 is a 9 year, 4 + 9 = 13 and 1 + 3 = 4. 4 is the number of stability, completion, and closure. It represents security, knowledge, confidence, and structure. There are 4 cardinal directions – East, West, North, and South, and 4 elements in the earth – Earth, Wind, Air, Fire. Think of 4 legs on a table or a chair, 4 wheels on a car. A square has 4 sides and it can be a box to stand on so we can rise above to the next level or a prison that keeps us penned in. With the 1 and 3 of this month's 4 vibe, we can take the creative energy of March and take action in a balanced and stable way. No rushing out of the starting gate so typical of Aries, this is considered, measured, purposeful action, aligned with our intention.The downfall of the 4 is being too rigid and stable, set in their ways, stubborn, and unchangeable. 4 is at its worst when it is trying to be all things to all people, scattering resources, and lacking focus. Those are the elements that can make April a challenging month for some, especially those who get overwhelmed by all of the energy and try to hide out or stay the same because they fear change.April begins with the energy of March resonating very loudly – the entry of Neptune into Aries and the March 29 eclipse. Those two events have long term effects so just because we are in a new month doesn't mean they go away. That just creates an energy signature for April. On April 7 Mercury goes direct and on April 12 Venus goes direct. Then the big event of April (one of them anyway) is Mars going into Leo (again) on April 17 and engaging in its ‘power to the people' moment with Pluto as it did in most of December and January. And that isn't all because in June Mars will be in Aquarius, meeting up with Pluto again. Then the Mars/Pluto connections will be over for the rest of the year.Before we continue with the rest of the month's details I have to share something funny with you. I was thinking about all of the release work and shifting we have had to do as we choose between our ascension path and our karma because they really are not on the same plane. We have to decide where we are going to focus our energy. The problem is that avoiding the karma path means doing so much release work (note that I did not say ‘forgiveness' work) that it can be exhausting and discouraging.How can we engage in that level of release work and move forward? Then I thought of goats, that we have to be more like goats. If you know anything about them, goats are remarkable animals. They are smart, nimble, can jump very high, and scale the highest peaks. Goats are ruminants, like cows, and they have a voracious appetite. Goats will eat anything, and a lot of it. They will clear out the weeds, brambles, and anything green in a large space in a matter of hours. They have thick skin that even the toughest thorns cannot pierce and one of their favorite foods is poison ivy.How do goats manage to eat so much? Because they have an extremely fast metabolism and they ‘poop' as they eat. If you hire a herd of goats to do pasture or field clearing, something that has become very popular in recent years, they will clear out the weeds and any greenery and fertilize the field at the same time. They are the epitome of the saying ‘food goes in one end and out the other' and it happens quickly with them.So if we are like goats we assess situations, consider our choices, and make our decisions to release as we move along. We do not need to spend days or weeks considering a move that we know could have happened months or years ago. The behavior we see in people now is probably no different than anything they have done for a very long time. We are seeing it from a different perspective today but they have not changed. Our choice involves whether we want that behavior in our life right now and that answer is usually no.The energy theme of April is Reconstruction but this is more like the phoenix rising from the ashes than trying to salvage the bricks from your old house to build your new house. If parts of your life have not been totally decimated since January, you may not be paying attention or you have already gone through that process in the past 5 plus years. If they have, count yourself lucky because it's time to rebuild from a new blueprint.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.

https://enlightenglife.com/january-2025-energy-report/Since we ended 2024 with a strong Capricorn new moon on December 30, we enter 2025 on a high note, sort of. The year began with the echoes of a new moon representing fresh starts, new actions, bold moves, and beginnings. At least we do not have Pluto in Capricorn to deal with any longer but we still have a strong energy aspects to start this new month and new year. A lot is happening this month with Mars returning to Cancer, Mercury transiting that sign, the nodes changing sign to Pisces, the end of a 19 year cycle, and a big Pisces stellium which last happened in 1989.It is going to be a good year for putting new plans and projects in place, for finally creating the transformations you have wanted to create for so long, and for coming to terms with your truth and your light. And it starts in January so let's sit up, pay attention, take notes, and ask the right questions.January opens with the echo of the December 30 Capricorn new moon which featured strong oppositions – planets at 180 degrees and most importantly, a Mars/Pluto opposition from Leo to Aquarius. I call this a ‘power to the people' moment which started in November 2024 and will last through April 2025. It is not going to go away quickly and it will have a profound effect on society and culture all over the world. Watch what happens as people rise up against the 3D energies of corruption, control, domination, power over, separation, competition, and disconnection from spirit.This new moon in Capricorn is not a rehash of the past 16 years of that tough Pluto transit, it is a new energetic boundary reminding us of where we have come and what we do not want to repeat. I see it as a 4D bridge activation, creating a space of awareness of where we began in 3D and shining a strong light across that bridge to new levels of joy, peace, love, abundance, and prosperity.The 5D portal is wide open now so there are options available and choices to be made and many, many people are choosing the light. The first Pluto in Capricorn transit opened the portal to self-sovereignty. The latest one opened the portal to energetic sovereignty. We are energetically sovereign, aware, and ready for action. We know this, now we have to live our lives within this understanding.You can read the rest of the article on the blog page 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.

Episode 211 In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all. The astrology of the week of December 30th, 2024, helps us transition from one phase to the next. With a Capricorn New Moon urging us to consider how we'll organize ourselves in the month (and year) to come, and a Mars–Pluto face-off exposing subterranean power dynamics, it's the perfect opportunity to seed your intentions for 2025. Let's get into it. This episode covers: The New Moon in Capricorn on Monday, December 30th Venus' ingress into Pisces on Thursday, January 2nd Mars' opposition to Pluto on Thursday, January 2nd The Sun's sextile to Saturn on Saturday, January 4th This episode was recorded on 10/25/2024.

It's the last week of 2024 and the first week of 2025—and there's plenty going on in the stars. Monday serves up the Capricorn new moon, a goal-setting moment right in time for new year. On New Year's Day (morning), the moon moves into Aquarius. Then, on January 2, Venus moves into Pisces for a month, an ideal time to make that vision board! Beware a Mars-Pluto faceoff brewing all week that comes to a head on Friday, which could make for stormy emotions and tempers over the weekend.

Astrology forecast for December 28-January 3 With Almie nursing a cold, Chris takes the reins and reminds listeners that the planet Mars still has a long way to go in its retrograde cycle so we might be feeling a bit sluggish, things might not be happening as quickly as we'd like them to and there could be all kinds of issues pertaining to patience and anger.  Chris also talks about Capricorn Season and he discusses the Capricorn New Moon, which will be exact at 2:27pm pacific time on Monday, December 30th. With all this Capricorn energy in the air we might be feeling ambitious and charged up to get organized and start off the new year with a bang (with or without the help of a retrograde Mars!)  And Chris touches on Venus entering Pisces on Thursday, January 2nd. Venus loves being in the sign of Pisces- it's said to be exalted there. On the flip side of Venus energy, Chris also talks about what we could expect from a very gritty, intense Mars-Pluto opposition that takes place on Friday, January 3rd.  In “Ask a Scorpio,” Chris relays Almie's initial thoughts about Season 2 of the Netflix hit “Squid Game.”  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/almie/support
