In episode 494 I share several Venus retrograde repetitions that have happened in the news recently, and summarize what I learned from closely tracking the Venus retrograde recently. Since Venus finally departed from Aries and completed the extended retrograde period earlier this month I wanted to do one final episode to wrap up some lingering 8-year repetition stories that I had found, and also to share some conclusions I drew from this research over the past 6 months. I needed to do this episode in order to bring this series to completion that I started back in January, and this is the third and final installment in the news series. Some repetitions I covered include: Star Wars, Nintendo, the Oscars/Conan, the Rose Garden, and Iran.

Born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska, Ryan Seaman made his way west in pursuit of fame and fortune as an actor and screenwriter. During a three-year stint on Days of Our Lives, while co-writing a feature film screenplay that was fast-tracked at a major studio, all his dreams appeared to be coming true. His Saturn Return, however, had other plans. After a series of disruptive (read: agonizing) plot twists, Ryan pivoted from the call of his ego - the dramatic arts - and heeded the call of his soul: the healing arts.After twenty-plus years as a transformational bodyworker, yogi and astrologer, Ryan opted for the road less traveled. From spending seventeen years in a Gurdjieffian mystery school, to co-creating a graphic novel series titled: The Medicine Gate, to working extensively with plant medicine in South America, to receiving a direct transmission of astrology in Egypt, and co-founding a superfood pancake & waffle company called: Living Prana, Ryan remains forever in awe of and humbled by the undeniable influence our solar system has on the events we experience here on Earth, and the path it lays out for each of us to follow.In this episode, I welcome Ryan back for the second time as we go deep into the first transits of 2025 culminating in a powerful March eclipse season. We then explore the upcoming shifts for the rest of the year including the larger arc of Aquarian shifts we are experiencing collectively. Lastly, we dive into the next generation of neurodivergent and gifted youth as well as Ryan's company, Living Prana, and his passion for healthy living.While this episode is coming out already at the halfway point of 2025, may you find it useful for reflecting on the past few months and preparing for the months to come, including another eclipse season on the horizon.

In episode 487 astrologers Chris Brennan, Lindsey Turner, and Nick Dagan Best review a number of stories in the news recently that coincided with the Venus retrograde. This is a followup to episodes 475 and 477 where we talked about what Venus retrograde in Aries has coincided with in history, and part of our purpose with this episode is to document repetitions where stories from the past became relevant again today under the current retrograde. In the first half of the episode we focus on 8 year repetitions of Venus, connecting past and present events, while in the second half we focus on other stories in the news that match the general quality of Venus retrograde.

Mars exits its retrograde shadow in Leo, pushing us to follow our joy.We discuss how true love requires authenticity and boundaries. When Venus conjuncts Neptune in Aries, we're invited to reimagine what love means, forgiving ourselves and recognizing our worthiness.Pluto retrograde in Aquarius reminds us that transforming society begins with transforming ourselves. Only by being authentically you—not like everyone else—can positive change occur.

The astrology this week is lighter and more liminal than the last several weeks. It invites a re-enchantment with life, especially in matters of your heart. This week's astrology includes:- Venus moves into Aries on Wed 4/30: An energizing initiation of fresh energy around relationships, love, beauty, healing pursuits, art, creativity. You may feel a readiness to move forward now, especially on relational themes that were on your heart in February and March (since Venus was already in Aries in Feb 5 – March 27 as a part of its retrograde process).- Venus conjunct Neptune in Aries: Both Saturn and Neptune have been an integral part of this Venus Retrograde this March – April. The conjunction becoming exact this week symbolizes a further re-enchantment of your capacity for love, union, and enjoyment. There's potential for full immersion into relational or creative things . . . as well as possibilities for enmeshment, blurring of boundaries, or illusions to arise. Neptune often helps us see our idealizations first by experiencing them unconsciously (i.e. being “in it” first). Over time we get to see people and situations as they are (rather than how we want them to be). There's beauty in the ideal as well as the reality when we hold it softly.- First Quarter Moon in Leo on Sun 5/4 at 6:52am PT: This point in the lunar cycle marks a crossroads for decisions. You may feel drawn to focus or reorient your energy toward what is most pressing right now. This First Quarter Moon in Leo emphasizes your relationship to giving and receiving affection, attention, and your magnetic pull on others. It provides opportunities to embody your inner spark. This First Quarter Moon also punctuates the dissipating Sun-Mars-Pluto t-square, so there may be additional insights or clarity around your autonomy, power, and control.- Pluto Stations Retrograde: This is a subtle component of the astrology this week. Pluto (along with the other outer planets) is retrograde about half the year. It's retrograde means that over the summer and fall, Pluto will slowly and slightly shift back a few degrees in the zodiac to about 0 degrees Aquarius. This symbolizes a concentration of Pluto in this place, meaning that any transits to Pluto will be more concrete, slow, steady, and take time to integrate.- Sun-Uranus in Taurus opposite Vesta-Juno in Scorpio: Bringing light, liberation, and awakening to the things that you are devoted to.Reflection Questions: 1.   What is your heart telling you now?  2.   How do you tend to idealize people or situations? 3.   How can you embody both strength and flexibility?Wishing you a week of ease, security, and safety

In episode 485 astrologer Elly Higgins joins the show to discuss the 8-year repetitions of Venus retrograde in Aries and how they tie into queer history over the past century. In this episode we start with the Venus retrograde in Aries of 1905, and then work our way forward in 8 year increments, discussing how important moments and turning points in queer history keep coinciding with this retrograde.

For the week of March 31 to April 6, 2025, on The Weekly Transit, Scott explores the theme of "Compassion, Courage, and Kindness" with eight transits highlighted by the Half Moon in Cancer. After last week's intensity with Neptune entering Aries and the New Moon Solar Eclipse, this week offers a chance to acclimate to these powerful energies.Scott discusses how planets in Pisces and Aries create a metaphorical "boiling" effect that brings fears to consciousness for healing. The alignment of Mars, Saturn, and Uranus at 24° gives an opportunity to examine past wounds and revolutionize self-worth. The episode's core message is that "courage stems from self-love," encouraging listeners to release control and recognize that everything happening is meant to occur. The week culminates with supportive aspects on Sunday, April 6th, creating a healing opportunity to connect with loved ones through compassion.(23:41) Venus Retrograde Conjunct the North Node Retrograde in Pisces 27° – March 27 – April 4 (Thursday – Friday) – Exact on Tuesday, April 1.February 1 – Venus Conjunct the North Node Retrograde in Pisces 28°April 1 – Venus Retrograde Conjunct the North Node Retrograde in Pisces 27°April 24 – Venus Conjunct the North Node in Pisces 26°(34:34) Mercury Retrograde Conjunct the North Node Retrograde in Pisces 27° – March 29 – April 15 – Exact on Thursday, April 3 and Thursday, April 10.March 1 – Mercury Conjunct the North Node Retrograde in Pisces 27°April 3 – Mercury Retrograde Conjunct the North Node Retrograde in Pisces 27°April 10 – Mercury Conjunct the North Node in Pisces 27°(42:41) The Sun in Aries Square the Moon in Cancer 15° – Friday, April 4 at 7:15 PM PDT(52:28) Mars in Cancer Trine Saturn in Pisces 24° – March 25 – April 8 (Tuesday – Tuesday) – Exact on Friday, April 4.Mars in Cancer Sextile Uranus in Taurus 24° – March 28 – April 8 (Friday – Tuesday) – Exact on Friday, April 4.Saturn in Pisces Sextile Uranus in Taurus 24° – March 10 – April 23 (Monday – Wednesday) – Exact on Friday, April 4.(1:06:12) The Sun in Aries Sextile Jupiter in Gemini 16° – April 3 – 8 (Thursday – Tuesday) – Exact on Sunday, April 6.(1:11:30) Venus Retrograde in Pisces Trine Mars in Cancer 25° – April 2 – 8 (Wednesday – Tuesday) – Exact on Sunday, April 6.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theweeklytransit.com/

In this powerful episode of The Weekly Transit, we explore the astrological influences of March 24-30, 2025, highlighting nine major transits dominated by the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries. Scott discusses how this eclipse represents "the end of the facade" and encourages authentic self-expression and self-love. He delves into Mercury and Venus both retrograding back into Pisces, Neptune's significant transition into Aries, and how these cosmic energies are creating a metaphorical "boiling" effect in our lives. The episode offers guidance on facing fears, releasing emotional insecurities, and embracing your authentic self during this transformative time.

How do we lovingly tend to ourselves when we feel unappreciated, disrespected, and invalidated for who we are at our core?How do re-source ourselves and re-member who we are?Feeling unloved is a universal experience. We know every human has experienced it, and yet it can be so challenging to move through. As we approach this year's Venus Cazimi, in the middle of the Venus Retrograde, I shared my personal story growing up with bullying, what got me through, and what I learned about loving myself when I didn't receive the love I wanted from my surroundings.Special thanks to my mentor Ariana Felix who has been helping me remember the rigorous Practice of Love.

Venus is now retrograde and embarks upon a highly personal 6-week journey of self-discovery, re-creation, reconnection, and renewal. She travels without aspects for 3 weeks in March, and then sextiles Pluto in Aquarius, which is supporting her transformation and self-empowerment. TheVenus Star Point conjunct the Sun on March 22 at 2 degrees begins a new 8-year cycle, focusing on new aspects of Self that are birthing now. Venus RX re-enters Pisces on March 27 and has her final conjunction in our lifetime with Neptunein Pisces at 29 degrees, followed by the North Node. Then in April, she connects with Mars in Cancer, Saturn in Pisces, and Uranus in Taurus before stationing direct at 24 deg 37 Pisces on April 12. Perhaps one of the biggest Venus retrograde journeys in decades as she will rebirth herself with thehigher goddess frequencies and become more of who she truly is in this lifetime.

In episode 477 Chris Brennan discusses a number of recent stories in the news and how they are repetitions of events that occurred during past Venus retrograde in Aries periods, demonstrating how the 8-year cycle of Venus can connect events from the past with the present. This is a followup to the Venus retrograde in Aries in history episode last month, where Nick Dagan Best and I went through and noted a bunch of important events that happened during past Venus retrograde in Aries periods. Ever since we recorded that episode on January 10 there started being all of these really striking headlines and news stories that were repetitions of events we had talked about from previous Venus retrogrades in that episode, so I decided to compile them all here in this episode. Part of the purpose is to document some of these incredible Venus retrograde repetitions while they are happening and fresh in people's minds, but also to show people the repetitions so that they know what to look out for as we get deeper into this Venus retrograde over the next few months, that way you all can help me identify other repetitions that emerge in the near future.

In episode 475 astrologers Chris Brennan and Nick Dagan Best discuss what every Venus retrograde in Aries period has coincided with in history over the past century, identifying patterns of 8-year repetitions in the past that are tied in with the present and future. The premise of this episode is that we have a Venus retrograde in Aries and Pisces coming up over the next few months, and it seems to coincide with a really important part of the year in March and April where we are expecting some major world events, so I wanted to look back in history and see if I could get a better sense for what these particular retrogrades in Aries have coincided with in the past. What Nick and I did in this episode is we started in 2025 and talked a little bit about what is already known or is clearly developing about the current Venus retrograde, and then after that we jumped back 8 years to 2017, which is the last time Venus went retrograde in Aries, and talked about major events that happened in that period. Then we went back another 8 years to 2009, when Venus was again retrograde in Aries, and so on. During the course of the episode we made it all the way back to 1905, which was the first time that Venus retrograded Aries in this cycle. Here is the full list of Venus retrograde in Aries years over the past century: 1905, 1913, 1921, 1929, 1937, 1945, 1953, 1961, 1969, 1977, 1985, 1993, 2001, 2009, 2017, 2025. By moving backwards in time we went retrograde ourselves, and started with a period that is more familiar, but then kept showing how there are these weird 8 year repetitions that connect events and themes across these different time periods. We ended up finding a LOT of really interesting stuff, and some major correlations that will end up being very relevant for news stories today. I feel like this episode really helps to build on and expand the Venus retrograde research that we did in 2023, and to deepen our understanding of Venus retrogrades in general by really drilling more deeply into this particular series. More importantly, it also helps to shed light on and provide further contextualization of some of the events that will happen in March and April of 2025.
