Asteroid Cleopatra Through the Signs 👑

There's a queen running your love life. You just haven't met her yet. Asteroid Cleopatra (216) reveals how you seduce, how you rule, and the shadow you leave on everyone who gets close. Cleopatra isn't just your allure. It's your damage pattern with a crown on. Every placement has a gift and a shadow, and the shadow is the part that's been quietly burning down your relationships.

Aries

You seduce through pursuit, and you're magnetic when you want something. That energy is a gift. Shadow, you lose interest the moment someone surrenders. My advice is to practice wanting what you already have, desire doesn't have to require a moving target.

Taurus

You create warmth and safety that people have never felt before. That's genuinely rare. Shadow, you use comfort to control. My advice is to ask yourself if you're nurturing the relationship or just making it too cozy to leave, there's a difference.

Gemini

Your mind is electric, and your ability to make someone feel fascinating is a real superpower. Shadow, you perform intimacy rather than feel it. My advice is to stay in the conversation past the point where it stops being fun, that's where real connection actually starts.

Cancer

Your emotional attunement is profound. People feel genuinely held by you, and that's not nothing. Shadow, you give and keep score. My advice is to notice when you're being generous versus when you're building a case, your love shouldn't come with an invoice.

Leo

Your presence is undeniable, and your loyalty, when given, is fierce and real. Shadow, you need an audience more than a partner. My advice is to find someone who sees you clearly, not just someone who applauds loudly, those are two very different relationships.

Virgo

You show love through action, and your attention to detail makes people feel deeply cared for. Shadow, you make yourself necessary instead of chosen. My advice is to let people love you when nothing is broken, you don't have to earn your place by fixing everything.

Libra

You bring beauty, ease, and grace to every relationship. People feel better just being around you. Shadow, you keep the peace at the cost of your own needs. My advice is to find a relationship that requires you to disappear to function isn't harmony, it's a performance.

Scorpio

Your depth and loyalty are unmatched. When you love someone, you love all of them, and that's transformative. Shadow, you test people instead of trusting them. My advice is to remember vulnerability isn't weakness, it's the only thing that actually lets someone in, and you know that better than anyone.

Sagittarius

Your vision and enthusiasm make people want to build something with you. That pull is real and powerful. Shadow, you leave before it gets hard and call it freedom. Remember the life you keep running toward exists right where you are, if you'd stop long enough to build it.

Capricorn

Your standards are high because you have something real to offer, and the right person will rise to meet them. Shadow, you use ambition to avoid intimacy. My advice? Remember, success is not a personality trait, and achieving things together requires actually letting someone stand next to you.

Aquarius

Your originality is magnetic, and your mind genuinely changes the people who get close to you. Shadow, you observe love instead of feeling it. My advice? Remember, being understood starts with being known, and being known requires showing up in your body, not just your ideas.

Pisces

Your capacity for empathy and romance is extraordinary. You can make someone feel like they're living inside a love song. Shadow, you give people a fantasy version of you, then feel invisible. My advice is to show the real, unglamorous parts of yourself early, the right person will love those most.

What to do next? Pull your chart via astro-seek. Find asteroid 216. Read your placement like a confession, not a compliment. Drop your sign in the comments, I'll tell you the part of your Cleopatra that nobody in your life has been brave enough to say out loud.

With love,

Asteroid Apollo Through the Houses! 💞

Nobody talks about Asteoid Apollo and I genuinely do not understand why, because this asteroid is EVERYTHING. Named for the god of the sun, music, poetry, prophecy, and... crucially, radiance that can heal OR destroy. Apollo in your chart is about where your light either BLAZES or gets systematically dimmed, and by whom. It's charisma. It's creative gifts. It's the performance of self. And the house placement tells you exactly which stage of your life is either lit up like a Broadway marquee or in a complete and total blackout. Yeah, it's that important.

☀ APOLLO IN THE 1ST HOUSE: The Body, Identity, First Impressions

You ARE the sun, whether you want to be or not. People literally orient toward you when you walk into a room, you give off this warmth that is involuntary and sometimes extremely inconvenient because you cannot turn it off. The danger with Apollo in the 1st is that your light becomes your WHOLE personality in the eyes of others, and then when you're just having a Tuesday and you're not performing solar energy, people act personally betrayed. Learn to let people see you dim sometimes. Not everyone who dims is lying. And also? The people who got addicted to your shine and then tried to ownit? That's not love. That's a solar panel trying to claim the sun.

☀ APOLLO IN THE 2ND HOUSE: Resources, Worth, What You Value

Your gifts are bankable, Apollo here means your talent is literally tied to your income and your self-worth, which is gorgeous until someone ties a price tag to your personhood and suddenly you feel worthless the second you're not producing. Watch out for people who only value you when you're actively shining something for them. Your worth is not a performance review. Also this placement is wild for creative people who grew up being told their art was a "nice hobby", honey, Apollo in the 2nd means that art is your LIVELIHOOD and the people who belittled it were threatened. Every single time.

☀ APOLLO IN THE 3RD HOUSE: Communication, Siblings, Local Community

You have a voice that people remember. Not necessarily loud, just distinctive. There's something about the way you communicate, write, or speak that makes people lean in. This can manifest as being the sibling who everyone talks over AND somehow everyone quotes later, which, iconic and annoying simultaneously. The shadow side is that you might have grown up in an environment where your ideas were stolen, dismissed, or credited to someone louder. If you had a sibling or neighborhood rival who always seemed to get credit for things you originated? Apollo in the 3rd, and that wound runs DEEP.

☀ APOLLO IN THE 4TH HOUSE: Home, Family, Roots, The Private Self

Your light originated in your home, for better or for worse. Either your family was the first to recognize your gifts and that foundation made you luminous, OR your family was the first to dim you and now you spend your adult life trying to reclaim a shine that was yours before anyone got their hands on it. Apollo in the 4th also means your home itself has a quality to it, people feel warmed and welcomed in your space in a way they can't quite explain. You are literally the sun of your own household. The work is making sure the people you let in aren't trying to pull the curtains.

☀ APOLLO IN THE 5TH HOUSE: Creativity, Romance, Children, Joy

Oh this is a PLACEMENT. The 5th house is Apollo's natural domain, joy, art, performance, love affairs, and having him HERE means this entire sector of your life is cranked up to eleven. You love dramatically. You create prolifically. You play in a way that makes other people remember what playing felt like. The shadow? You can attract people who are in love with your performance of joy rather than you as a full human person. The person who adored you when you were fun and creative and then got weird when you had a bad month? Couldn't handle the eclipse. That's a them problem wrapped in an Apollo bow.

☀ APOLLO IN THE 6TH HOUSE: Daily Routines, Work, Health, Service

You shine in the grind, which sounds less glamorous than it is. Apollo in the 6th means your radiance comes through in how you work, your competence is genuinely magnetic and people are drawn to your process, your dedication, your quietly extraordinary output. The danger is that workplaces and coworkers will try to consume that light without crediting it. If you've ever trained someone who then got promoted over you, or had a boss who presented your ideas as their own in a meeting, Apollo in the 6th, being vampired in the daily realm. Your health routines also have a glow-up quality to them; when you commit to them, you literally radiate differently.

☀ APOLLO IN THE 7TH HOUSE: Partnerships, Marriage, Open Enemies

You find your light through other people, which is either beautiful or a cautionary tale depending on the caliber of person you're choosing. Apollo in the 7th means your partnerships are where you either absolutely bloom or get so thoroughly eclipsed you forget you were a star to begin with. You are drawn to radiant, charismatic, gifted people, and sometimes those people are wonderful and sometimes they are just very good at performing their own Apollo energy while quietly absorbing yours. The person who made you feel like YOU were the lucky one in the relationship when actually they were building their whole personality on your foundation? Apollo in the 7th, bestie. It was a heist.

☀ APOLLO IN THE 8TH HOUSE: Transformation, Secrets, Shared Resources, Death & Rebirth

This is one of the most intense placements because your radiance is tied to transformation, you shine THROUGH crisis, through loss, through the things that would extinguish anyone else. Apollo in the 8th gives you this almost eerie ability to come back from circumstances that should have ended you, and to come back brighter. The shadow is that people are sometimes subconsciously drawn to you BECAUSE they sense this transformative energy and they want to trigger it, they want to be the one who breaks you open so they can watch you rise. Be very selective about who you let into your 8th house matters. Not everyone deserves a front row seat to your phoenix moment.

☀ APOLLO IN THE 9TH HOUSE: Philosophy, Travel, Higher Learning, Belief Systems

Your light expands when you ROAM, physically, intellectually, spiritually. Apollo in the 9th means you were probably the person in your small town or family who everyone knew was going to leave and do something bigger, and that knowing was both your destiny and your earliest wound. You shine when you're learning, teaching, publishing, traveling, philosophizing. You have a gift for making big ideas feel warm and accessible, which is genuinely rare. The danger is self-righteousness, Apollo's fire can become a torch you use to illuminate others OR a torch you use to prove you're right. Check which one you're doing.

☀ APOLLO IN THE 10TH HOUSE: Career, Public Image, Legacy, Fame

Okay the placement everyone wants and also the one that comes with THE most baggage. Apollo in the 10th means your radiance is public, it is literally written into your career destiny that people will know your name, your work, your light. But here's what nobody tells you: the 10th house is also ruled by Saturn, the planet of discipline and consequence, which means Apollo's gifts here do NOT come for free. You will work for this shine. You will be criticized, undermined, and watched closely in a way that your more private-placed friends simply are not. And the people who try to sabotage your career? They always, always saw it coming before you did. Trust that flicker of "something's off" about a professional relationship. Every time.

☀ APOLLO IN THE 11TH HOUSE: Friendships, Community, Hopes, The Collective

You shine in community, your light is genuinely for the group, which makes you an incredible friend, activist, creator for an audience, or community leader. Apollo in the 11th means people find you through networks, through the internet, through movements, through shared causes, and when they find you they feel like they found something they'd been looking for. The shadow is that groups can also consume individual light without conscience, you can give and give to a community and one day realize no one actually sees you as a person, only as a function. The friend group that fell apart when you stopped being the one who organized everything? Apollo in the 11th being taken for granted. Your light is not a utility.

☀ APOLLO IN THE 12TH HOUSE: The Hidden, Spirituality, Sacrifice, The Unconscious

And here is the most misunderstood placement of all. Apollo in the 12th means your light operates below the surface, it's there, it is genuinely extraordinary, but it is hidden, private, or actively suppressed, often since childhood. You may have grown up in an environment where shining was dangerous, where your gifts attracted punishment, jealousy, or unwanted attention, and so you learned to dim yourself as a survival strategy. The work of this placement is the slow, sacred unbinding of that learned smallness. Your light did not disappear. It went into the 12th house and it has been waiting. And when it comes out, and it WILL come out, it has a quality to it that is almost otherworldly, because it survived everything that tried to extinguish it.

Mars Through The Signs

I want to talk about Mars because I feel like it is the most misunderstood planet in astrology and it is doing the most in everyone's chart and nobody is giving it the attention it deserves. People are out here obsessing over their Venus like it's the whole story, and Venus is gorgeous, don't get me wrong, but Mars? Mars is the reason you texted that person at 2am. Mars is the reason you quit that job dramatically. Mars is the reason you are the way you are in ways that honestly concern the people who love you. 

So let's get into it.

MARS IN ARIES ♈️

Oh honey, this is Mars in his HOUSE. His domain. His kingdom. Mars rules Aries so when he's here he is FERAL in the best possible way. This person doesn't just want things, they combust wanting them. They see something and they go get it before they've even decided if they actually want it. The magic? Nobody on earth has more raw, electric, animal magnetism than a Mars in Aries. They walk into a room and something shifts. People feel it before they even see them. The problem, and there IS a problem, is that they're addicted to the chase and allergic to the catch. The moment something is theirs, they're already scanning the horizon. Use this power wisely darling or you will burn every good thing to the ground just because you were bored on a Tuesday.

MARS IN TAURUS ♉️

Everyone sleeps on this placement and I will not stand for it. Mars in Taurus is slow. Deliberate. Immovable. And that sounds boring until you realize that this person always wins because they simply refuse to stop. They don't have the flashy explosion of an Aries Mars, they have something scarier. Endurance. They will outlast you. They will out-patience you. They will still be standing when everyone else has collapsed dramatically on the floor. The magic is that their desire is basically gravitational, when they want someone or something they pull it toward them like a planet pulling moons. Sensual, physical, embodied. The danger? They hold grudges the way other people hold treasure. Do not cross them. I am begging you. They won't explode, they'll just quietly make your life very difficult for a very long time.

MARS IN GEMINI ♊️

Okay so this is the placement of someone who could talk their way in OR out of literally anything and honestly both options are equally likely. Mars in Gemini fights with words, and my GOD are they good at it. They can find the exact sentence that will absolutely destroy you and deliver it with a smile. Diabolical. The magic is that they are endlessly fascinating to be around because their energy is electric and unpredictable and you genuinely never know what they're going to do next. They hypnotize people. The problem is they hypnotize THEMSELVES too. They talk themselves into things, out of things, around things, and sometimes in a full circle back to the beginning. Focus is not their gift. Starting things and abandoning them magnificently is.

MARS IN CANCER ♋️

This is the placement people misread the most and it genuinely makes me crazy. People think Cancer is soft. CANCER IS NOT SOFT. Mars in Cancer is a mama bear who will smile at your face and then dismantle your entire life if you hurt someone they love. Their drive comes from emotion, which means when they're motivated they are UNSTOPPABLE because they're not just chasing a goal, they're protecting something sacred. The magic is that they fight for people in a way that is so rare and so fierce that people become completely devoted to them. The shadow? They internalize everything. They'd rather go home and silently seethe than confront you directly. And that seething? It builds. And builds. And builds. Until one day over something completely minor they absolutely lose it and everyone is confused except them.

MARS IN LEO ♌️

Oh this is a STAR placement and they know it. Mars in Leo does everything as a performance, not because they're fake, but because they genuinely believe life should be lived at full volume with excellent lighting and a good soundtrack. Their drive is fueled by recognition and legacy. They don't just want to win, they want people to watch them win and feel something about it. The magic is their generosity of spirit. When they're in your corner they are the most loyal, loudest, most ride-or-die champion you will ever have. They will hype you up at your lowest and mean every word. The danger is their ego is load-bearing. Criticize them wrong and watch the temperature in the room drop twenty degrees instantly. They forgive but they remember. Every single time.

MARS IN VIRGO ♍️

People think this is a boring placement. Those people are wrong and also probably disorganized. Mars in Virgo is terrifying in the most sophisticated way possible. They don't come at you loud, they come at you prepared. They have receipts. They have timestamps. They noticed the thing you said fourteen months ago and filed it away and they will produce it at exactly the right moment with devastating precision. The magic is their competence. There is nothing they cannot figure out if they decide it matters. They will research, optimize, improve, and master anything they put their energy toward. The shadow is they can get so lost in perfecting the thing that they forget to actually launch the thing. Progress over perfection is a concept they intellectually understand and emotionally reject.

MARS IN LIBRA ♎️

Mars is in detriment in Libra which sounds like an insult but is actually just astrology's way of saying this energy is complicated and complicated is interesting. Mars in Libra doesn't want to fight, and yet somehow they are constantly in the middle of drama they swear they didn't start. They didn't start it. But they also didn't NOT start it. The magic is their charm is absolutely weaponized. They can get people to do things without those people even realizing they've been convinced. Silky smooth. Dangerous in velvet gloves. The shadow is they cannot make a decision to save their life and their avoidance of conflict CREATES conflict which is the most exquisite irony in all of astrology.

MARS IN SCORPIO ♏️

I need you to understand that this placement does not play. Mars in Scorpio is the other home of Mars and while Aries Mars is a wildfire, Scorpio Mars is a controlled burn that takes out the entire forest with surgical precision. These people feel everything at a volcanic level and show approximately none of it. That stillness is not peace, it's strategy. The magic is their power of transformation. They can take the worst thing that ever happened to them and alchemize it into fuel. They don't just survive things, they use them. The shadow is they can become obsessed in ways that would alarm a psychologist. When they want something or someone, the word "no" is not a stop sign, it's a puzzle. Which is thrilling until it isn't.

MARS IN SAGITTARIUS ♐️

This is the most fun placement at the party and also the most likely to say something that accidentally starts a diplomatic incident. Mars in Sagittarius has the energy of someone who genuinely believes everything will work out and the absolutely maddening thing is that it usually does. They operate on vision and faith and momentum and they inspire people around them to dream bigger just by existing. The magic is their freedom, they cannot be contained and when they stop trying to be, they become magnetic. The shadow? Commitment is a concept they find theoretically interesting. They're chasing the horizon and the horizon keeps moving and they think that's the point.

MARS IN CAPRICORN ♑️

Mars is exalted in Capricorn. EXALTED. Meaning the universe looked at this placement and said yes, this is what drive is supposed to look like. Mars in Capricorn is the CEO of wanting things. Disciplined, strategic, patient in a way that should be studied in universities. They don't need to be the loudest or the flashiest, they're too busy building an empire to worry about what you think of them. The magic is their staying power. When everyone else has burned out or given up, Mars in Capricorn is still at their desk, still executing, still climbing. The shadow is they can become so fixated on the destination that they forget to live the journey. They look up at 45 and wonder where the fun went.

MARS IN AQUARIUS ♒️

This is the most unpredictable Mars and I mean that as a compliment. Mars in Aquarius marches to a frequency other people can't even hear yet. They're not rebellious for the sake of it, they're just already living in a version of the future the rest of us haven't arrived at. Their drive is collective, they want to change things, fix systems, blow up what isn't working. The magic is their originality. There is genuinely nobody else like them and the right people find that completely irresistible. The shadow is they can be emotionally detached in their closest relationships in ways that confuse and wound the people who love them. They care about humanity. Individual humans are trickier.

MARS IN PISCES ♓️

Everyone underestimates this placement and I understand why and I also think it's hilarious. Mars in Pisces looks soft. Dreamy. Gentle. And in some ways it is. But do not mistake the softness for weakness because this is the placement of martyrs and mystics and people who will sacrifice everything for something they believe in with their whole soul. The magic is their creativity as a force of nature. When Mars in Pisces channels their drive into art, music, healing, spirituality, they create things that genuinely move people. The shadow is escapism. When reality gets hard they dissolve into fantasy, substances, sleep, anything that lets them not be here for a moment. The work is learning to stay.

Natal Aspect: Sun Square Jupiter (The Daring Dreamer) ✨

Sun square Jupiter is the human equivalent of a firework, loud, dazzling, and impossible to ignore.

They’ve got the kind of confidence that could sell umbrellas in the desert, and half the time, they make you believe they actually could. Their generosity is legendary; they’ll buy the drinks, tip the band, and invite strangers to join the table. But sometimes, that generosity comes with a side of “Oh crap, how do I pay for this?”

The good? These people breathe life into every room they walk into. They’re the pep talk you didn’t know you needed, the friend who sees your potential before you do. They aim high, sometimes so high you can’t even see the target anymore, and their belief in possibility can be contagious.

The bad? That same optimism can turn into overreach. They gamble on ideas without checking the odds, commit to more than they can deliver, and forget that even the most beautiful visions need a little boring practicality to survive. Their “go big or go home” mindset can sometimes mean…they go home broke.

But here’s the magic, when they figure out how to anchor those big dreams with a dash of reality, they become unstoppable. They still bring the sparkle, still swing for the fences, but now they’re actually hitting home runs instead of just talking about them.

Aspects That Indicate Sociopathy in a Birth Chart

Mercury Square Pluto 🧠🦂

The Mind of a Manipulator. Obsessed with control over information. Lies are layered. Words are weapons. This is spy-level intellect with a side of psychological warfare. Can gaslight, dig for secrets, and use knowledge like blackmail.

Mars Square Neptune 🪓🪞

The Saboteur. Aggression hides behind a smile. This combo can manifest as the silent assassin, manipulative, sneaky, and deceptive. May fake weakness, play the victim, or attack through confusion, addiction, or betrayal.

Venus Square Pluto 💔🖤

The Love Predator. Love is a power game. This aspect can indicate possessiveness, seduction with strings attached, jealousy disguised as passion, and deep emotional manipulation. Think: love bombing, ghosting, repeat.

Moon Conjunct Pluto 🌑🕳️

The Emotional Puppet Master. Intensely private and emotionally reactive. Can weaponize vulnerability, manipulate through guilt, and hold emotional grudges like they’re family heirlooms. Feels everything, and makes sure you do too.

Justin Bieber’s Biggest Vice According to Astrology

Justin Bieber has True Lilith in the 4th House Retrograde

In sign of Aries @ 2 Degrees (Taurus + Supreme Power Degree)

Conjunct Asteroid Lucifer

Trine Scorpio Ascendant

Square Asteroid Narcissus

Justin Bieber's vice isn’t fame. It’s not money, girls, or even the wreckage he occasionally leaves behind. It’s his own fire. The one that starts in the pit of his soul and doesn’t care if it burns down the house it was meant to warm. True Lilith, the dark feminine, isn’t just a cosmic bad girl, she’s rebellion wearing red lipstick and a defiant smirk. And when she sets up shop in the 4th House, the house of roots, home, and the emotional foundation you didn’t get to choose, she becomes the storm that is the home. In Aries, she’s raw. Pure instinct. No filter. No brakes. Imagine being born with your heart already on fire, in a crib that felt too small for the kind of passion you couldn’t yet name.

And 2 degrees we have Taurus territory. A supreme power degree. I sense this gives him a strange paradox, an urge to anchor his identity in peace and generosity, while his inner world is this restless wildfire, always scanning for the next enemy, the next fight, or the next person to save. True Lilith here wants to help. This isn’t the selfish kind of fire. It’s the kind that says, “If I’m burning, at least let me light someone else’s way.” And that’s beautiful. Dangerous, but beautiful.

His True Lilith is also retrograde, this is ancestral. Retrograde True Lilith in the 4th isn’t just about childhood pain, it’s about carrying the pain of the entire bloodline. And in Aries, that pain centers on agency, the right to be, to choose, to fight for your own life and your own identity without guilt. I sense Justin didn’t just grow up without emotional safety; he inherited a legacy of people suppressing themselves, playing nice, swallowing rage and calling it loyalty. That karmic suppression gets funneled into him like a red-hot arrow in reverse.

But here’s where the vice comes in: Asteroid Lucifer is conjunct Lilith. Lucifer isn’t evil, he’s the fallen angel, the rebel, the one who refused to bow. He’s the part of you that says, “No one owns me.” And paired with Lilith in Aries? He doesn’t whisper. He shouts. He makes you allergic to control, even when the person trying to help you is, well…trying to help you. That manifests for Justin as self sabotage hidden inside good intentions. Think of every time he has tried to reclaim his image, start fresh, find God, propose to peace, and then somehow blows it up from the inside out. That's Lucifer pressing the self-destruct button labeled freedom. Not because he’s evil. Because he's terrified of being caged. 

Now layer in the trine to a Scorpio Ascendant. Trines are easy energy, things that come naturally. So for Justin, transforming, reinventing, rising from ashes? That’s second nature. But what most people miss is the emotional depth required to do that. Scorpio is not surface-level. It’s deep-sea diving in pitch black. And when that Ascendant trines Lilith, it makes the rebellion magnetic. He doesn’t just rebel, he seduces with it. People want to watch him fall. And then they want to watch him get back up. Over and over. But this pattern has a cost.

The final twist? The square to Asteroid Narcissus in Capricorn in the 2nd House. This is where the emotional landmine gets buried. Narcissus doesn’t mean he’s obsessed with his reflection. It means his sense of worth is in a wrestling match with performance. Capricorn in the 2nd wants control, structure, legacy. It says, “Show me your resume before I decide if you’re lovable.” And Lilith screams, “I don’t need to earn love, I am love.” But they clash. Hard. This square is emotional whiplash: flip-flopping between trying to own his worth through external achievement, and resenting anyone who makes him feel like he has to earn it in the first place. One minute he’s building empires. The next, he’s ghosting everything. I intuitively feel that this manifests in his life through a constant cycle: create something meaningful, attach his worth to it, get too close to a feeling of control, then blow it all up so he can feel free again.

My person advice to Justin? I want you to stop seeing this fire as a flaw. It’s not your vice. It’s your weapon. But you’ve been using it to cut yourself open instead of carving out the life you want. You don’t need to perform rebellion anymore. You are rebellion. That’s not something you prove, it’s something you wield, consciously.

Build the home you never had. Not the mansion. Not the fanbase. The emotional home inside you that doesn’t need to explode just because someone closes a door. Let people in, but keep your boundaries electric. Channel that Lilith fire into protecting your peace instead of fighting imaginary wars. Be generous, but stop trying to be everyone's savior. If someone can’t meet you with the same emotional depth, don’t water yourself down, walk.  And next time that inner voice tempts you to burn it all down just to feel something again? Don’t give in. Find something real to set on fire, like a dream, a cause, or a version of yourself that doesn’t need applause to survive.

With cosmic love and a little tough truth, ✨

true lilith through the signs ✨

Ahhhh True Lilith. She’s the part of you that doesn’t follow the rules, and doesn’t feel bad about it. True Black Moon Lilith in your chart shows where you reject expectations, where your desires don’t fit the mold, and where you might feel judged or misunderstood for wanting what you want. She’s not about being polite or digestible!!

She’s raw instinct. Emotional power. And yeah, sometimes she’s the reason you push people away or pull them too close. Lilith reveals your biggest vice, your secret weapon, and the place where you either reclaim your power or get stuck in the shame loop. She’s not evil. She’s not broken. She’s just honest, and a little wild.

Let’s look at how she shows up in each sign.

It’s not always pretty, but it is real. 😈

Lilith in Aries ✨ You want control. All of it. First in line, first in bed, first to leave when things stop thrilling you. You chase chaos like it’s foreplay and call it “independence.” Impulse is your drug, and if dominance was a crime, you’re already guilty.

Lilith in Taurus ✨ Luxury. Pleasure. Repetition. You crave the sensual until it rots. You’d marry your bed if it came with silk sheets and a five-course meal. Comfort is your kink, and you’ll cling to it even when it suffocates you. If it smells like stability, you’re addicted.

Lilith in Gemini ✨ You want to know everything. And you will flirt, manipulate, or mentally seduce whoever holds the next piece of information. Your vice? Words as weapons. You talk circles around the truth until even you forget what’s real. Chaos, but make it clever.

Lilith in Cancer ✨ You hunger to be needed, then secretly resent it. You smother with one hand and ghost with the other. Your vice is emotional manipulation disguised as nurturing. You want power through connection, even if it means weaponizing your tears.

Lilith in Leo ✨ You want to be worshipped. Not liked, adored. The vice? Vanity, but with sparkle. You’ll burn down the room just to be seen rising from the ashes. Attention is your oxygen, and if you’re not the main character, you’re not interested.

Lilith in Virgo ✨ You want control through perfection. You sexualize being useful, obsess over flaws, and turn self-sacrifice into an Olympic sport. Your vice? Fixing others so you don’t have to feel your own mess. Clean on the outside, chaos in the bloodstream.

Lilith in Libra ✨ You seduce with politeness and manipulate through charm. Your vice? Playing nice while pulling strings. You crave harmony so much you’ll fake an entire personality to avoid confrontation, then implode when balance becomes a prison.

Lilith in Scorpio ✨ Let’s not lie: you want to own people. Body, soul, bank account. Your vice is total control disguised as intimacy. You seduce with shadows and sting when someone gets too close. If it’s not intense, obsessive, and possibly illegal, you’re bored.

Lilith in Sagittarius ✨ You want freedom more than love. More than peace. More than truth. Your vice? Running. You spiritualize your escape routes, ghost with a smile, and dress up commitment issues as wanderlust. You’ll burn bridges just to light your next adventure.

Lilith in Capricorn ✨ Power. Status. Achievement. You want it all and then some, and your vice is ambition without soul. You’ll climb the ladder with bloody hands if it means control. You seduce through authority, then wonder why you’re lonely at the top.

Lilith in Aquarius ✨ You want to be different just to not belong. Your vice is alienation on purpose. You seduce through shock value, detach when it gets real, and pretend your feelings are Wi-Fi signals: unstable and hard to trace. You crave freedom but sabotage connection.

Lilith in Pisces ✨ You want to disappear into fantasy. Your vice is emotional escapism, sex, substances, sad playlists. You romanticize suffering and call it “spiritual.” Boundaries? None. You’d rather drown in longing than live in reality. Beautiful, tragic, addictive.

With cosmic love and a little tough truth, ✨

pluto through the houses ✨

Congratulations, you didn’t come here for a peaceful life. Pluto is the planet of destruction, obsession, power, and rebirth. It doesn’t whisper. It kicks the door down, throws your illusions into a bonfire, and hands you a mirror like, “Fix it.”

Wherever Pluto lands in your chart, that area of life is getting dragged into the underworld, over and over...until you stop pretending and start transforming. Think: phoenix vibes, but with more screaming and less glitter.

This isn’t cute. It’s not soft. But it is where your deepest power lives.

Let’s get into what it means when Pluto sets up camp in each house, and yeah, it’s gonna get intense. But so are you.

Pluto in the 1st House ✨ Your aura screams don’t mess with me, even when you're smiling. You’ve been dismantled by life more times than you can count and came back sharper every time. People either want to become you or run from you. That’s not a personality, that’s a warning label.

Pluto in the 2nd House ✨ You’ve been broke, bought, sold, and reborn through it all. Attachment issues? Try possession exorcisms. You’ve had to burn down your self-worth just to find it wasn’t tied to things or people. You don’t just earn value, you resurrect it.

Pluto in the 3rd House ✨ You speak like you’ve swallowed every dark truth the world’s too scared to name. Childhood was a psychological thriller, and now your brain is a crime scene and a megaphone. You don’t have conversations, you have interrogations with eye contact.

Pluto in the 4th House ✨ Home was haunted, and not in the cute ghost way. You carry secrets in your bloodline that could write horror novels. Family drama? Try ancestral demolition. But here you are, building emotional security from wreckage like a one-person renovation crew with a grudge and a blueprint.

Pluto in the 5th House ✨ Your love life could be banned in 12 countries. You date like every relationship is your last, because half of them nearly were. Pleasure comes with power dynamics and maybe a few police reports. You create like a lightning strike, beautiful, blinding, and potentially lethal.

Pluto in the 6th House ✨ Work and health aren’t routines for you, they’re battlegrounds. You’ve probably had a complete body-mind reboot more than once, and if your job isn’t soul-altering, you quit or combust. Productivity becomes a religion, until you learn: you can’t control your way out of transformation.

Pluto in the 7th House ✨ You don’t attract lovers, you summon karmic assassins. Partnerships for you are spiritual surgeries. Every relationship rips open the exact thing you swore you’d healed. Love is a mirror, and you keep smashing it until you see something worth keeping.

Pluto in the 8th House ✨ You’ve probably made peace with death more times than most people floss. You’re magnetic, terrifying, and uncomfortably intuitive. Sex isn’t fun, it’s a séance. Secrets find you. You are the walking embodiment of “don’t go poking around unless you’re ready to know.”

Pluto in the 9th House ✨ You took belief systems, set them on fire, and then smoked the ashes for insight. You don’t travel to escape, you travel to dismantle your soul. Gurus fear you. You don’t follow paths, you bulldoze through them and build temples on the ruins.

Pluto in the 10th House ✨ Your career path looks like a controlled demolition site. You were never meant for mediocrity, you’re here to dominate.Authority figures either obsess over you or try to break you. Spoiler: they fail. You climb, fall, and rise again with a vengeance that rewrites the industry standard.

Pluto in the 11th House ✨ You’re the cult leader, the outcast, or the revolution. Groups either empower you or betray you in biblical ways. You don’t do “community” unless it’s forged in fire. Friendships are either ride-or-die, or dead on arrival. You change the world by tearing it a new one.

Pluto in the 12th House ✨ You’ve been to hell, and left a Yelp review. You feel things no one else can name. Your dreams could qualify as horror films, and your healing is a secret war. But behind your quiet exterior is an exorcist with a PhD in the unseen. The final boss of your life? Already met them. It was you.

With cosmic love and a little tough truth, ✨

Katy Perry’s Fall and the Astrology of Her Rise (Again)

Once upon a time, Katy Perry was untouchable. 

She lit up the charts with neon wigs, whipped cream bras, and the kind of confidence that made you believe in bubblegum dreams. She was a walking, singing firework, and we were all here for the show. But now? The spark has dimmed. The anthems aren’t hitting. The crowd isn’t roaring. Somewhere between “Witness” and Smile, the magic started slipping through her fingers. And no, it’s not just because people got tired of the gimmicks. It’s deeper. It’s written in the stars.

Let’s talk astrology, because Katy’s chart doesn’t lie, and honestly? It’s practically screaming midlife artistic reckoning.

Katy’s Midheaven, her career path and public image, is in the bold, center-stage sign of LEO. This placement craves the spotlight like a plant craves sunlight. But it’s at sixteen degrees, a Cancer and Karmic Debt Degree with themes around taming one's large ego. That means her soul signed up for a lifetime of earning attention by confronting her ego and asking: “Am I being seen for who I am, or just for the show I put on?” Lately, it’s been all show, no soul. And people can tell.

Midheaven Trine Lilith: The Creative Wild Woman

This is her hidden superpower and the part she keeps under lock and key. Lilith in Aries in the 5th house (creativity, expression, authentic joy) wants to burn the rulebook. She’s chaotic, primal, and doesn’t care if you’re uncomfortable. This is the Katy who writes about real pain, real anger, real want. This is the Katy who doesn’t need a costume to make you feel something—she is the feeling. And the trine to her Midheaven? That’s the universe begging her to lead with this raw power. But retrograde? She’s scared of unleashing it. Too real. Too much. Too risky. Girl, risk it. It’s literally in your chart.

Midheaven Square Moon: The Mask is Cracking

Now it gets emotional. Katy’s Moon, her inner world, her true feelings, is in Scorpio, in the 1st house, and in fall (meaning it’s not happy here). Translation? She feels everything, but trust? Vulnerability? Not her default. This Moon is private, protective, and intense as hell. And square to her Midheaven, it creates a constant tension: she thinks the public wants light, fun, and surface...but her soul is deep, dark, and swimming in emotion. This is why her image feels off lately. We see the cracks. We sense the disconnect. And we want her to stop hiding behind glitter and just bleed a little. 

Midheaven Square Saturn: Armor That’s Killing the Art

And here’s the real gut-punch, Saturn in the 1st house is like wearing emotional armor 24/7. In Scorpio? It’s not just armor, it’s barbed wire. She’s controlled. Reserved. Calculated. And square to her Midheaven, it creates a public image that feels...stuck. Like she’s dragging the ghost of her former self behind her. Saturn demands growth, but only through serious pain. And until she stops trying to “fix” her image and starts transforming it, the stagnation will keep dragging her down.

So What’s the Fix?

Based on Katy’s birth chart the way back isn’t more glitter, louder synths, or bigger hair. It’s not another cartoon music video or TikTok challenge. It’s the opposite. Strip it all down. No costumes. No characters. Just Katy. Tell the truth. Write the album that hurts. The one you’re scared to put out. Let your voice crack. Let the polish fade. Because that’s where your power is now Katy, not in the over-the-top production, but in the presence. This isn’t a fall from grace. This is the burn-it-down-to-build-it-better phase. The karmic reckoning. The comeback we’re dying to hear. And we’ll be right here, waiting, not for the next big single, but for the moment she finally stops performing and starts revealing.

With cosmic love and a little tough truth, ✨ Astro Ash Helping you navigate the stars, and yourself.

Why We’re Still Crushing on Adam Brody (It’s his Virgo Mars)

Look, I didn’t plan on falling for Adam Brody. But here I am, years after The O.C., still thinking about Seth Cohen’s quick wit and awkward charm like it’s 2004 and I’m thirteen again, doodling hearts in my notebook. And you know what? It’s not just nostalgia, it’s the stars. Yep, Adam Brody’s Mars placement is basically a cosmic recipe for being wholesome, lovable, and weirdly irresistible. So, let’s unpack this, shall we?

Mars is all about drive, passion, and how we go after what we want. In Adam’s chart, Mars sits in Virgo in the 7th house, the house of partnerships. This means his passion and energy are channeled into his relationships. He’s not just a "show up when it’s convenient" kind of guy. Nope, he’s all in. Virgo’s influence adds a layer of meticulousness and thoughtfulness. He’s the guy who pays attention to the little things, your coffee order, your dog’s name, that random fact you mentioned once about loving vintage typewriters. And because his Mars is at 9 degrees, a Sagittarius degree, he’s not just attentive—he’s adventurous, curious, and always ready to dive into deep, meaningful conversations. Think spontaneous road trips mixed with philosophical debates about whether pineapple belongs on pizza.

But it doesn’t stop there. His Mars placement forms a sextile with his Scorpio Moon in the 9th house. Now, a sextile is like a cosmic high-five...a supportive aspect that brings out the best in both planets. This combo means he’s got emotional depth (thanks, Scorpio Moon) and an adventurous spirit (shoutout to the 9th house). He FEELS things deeply but isn’t over-the-top about it. Instead, he’ll casually drop some profound, soul baring truth in the middle of a conversation about your favorite bands. And you’ll be left wondering how you’re suddenly talking about the meaning of life.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. His Mars squares his 10th house Mercury in Sagittarius, creating a bit of tension. A square is like the universe saying, "Hey, you’ve got some stuff to work through." This means Adam might sometimes speak before he thinks, blurting out things that are hilariously honest. But honestly? That’s part of the charm and why the public loves him, it’s also why he feels so genuine, he’s not filtering himself to fit some image. With Mercury in Sagittarius, his thoughts are big, bold, and a little philosophical. He’s the guy at the party who’s cracking jokes one minute and waxing poetic about the universe the next. And then there’s Mars conjunct Jupiter, the cosmic equivalent of passion on steroids. This aspect screams optimism, enthusiasm, and a larger-than-life approach to everything he does. It’s why he lights up a room without even trying. He’s got that "I’m excited about life and I want you to be, too" energy. And honestly? It’s contagious.

So, why do we love Adam Brody? It’s not just the floppy hair and the sarcastic grin (though, let’s be real, that doesn’t hurt). It’s the way his Mars placement blends drive, thoughtfulness, emotional depth, and just the right amount of awkward. He’s the guy who’ll make you laugh, challenge your ideas, and remember the little things that make you feel seen. And with his recent role in Nobody Wants This and that adorable red carpet banter with Leighton Meester, it’s clear he’s still the same lovable, grounded guy we’ve always adored. Basically, Adam Brody’s Mars placement is like the perfect indie rom-com script...quirky, heartfelt, and impossible not to love.

Luigi Mangione's Birth Chart Decoded

Sun in Taurus @ 15 Degrees (Gemini Degree)

Conjunct Mars, Square Uranus, Opposite Chiron

Taurus energy grounds Luigi with determination and an instinct for survival, but the Gemini degree suggests an ever-present restlessness, as if he is forever carrying the weight of unmet expectations or unresolved inner battles. The conjunction with Mars magnifies his intensity, making him someone who operates with fierce conviction. His actions through life are deliberate, often fueled by an unshakable inner fire. However, the square to Uranus in the sign of Aquarius injects unpredictability. This is someone who doesn’t just disrupt; they shatter old patterns, often in ways that shock others. The opposition to Chiron in the sign of Scorpio speaks of emotional wounds that run deep, tied to betrayal or emotional power struggles. These wounds are like a hidden current, driving his need to protect himself, sometimes through drastic, viloent or destructive means. 

Moon in Virgo @ 21 Degrees (Sagittarius Degree)

Opposite Jupiter, Conjunct Fixed Star Denebola

Virgo moons are analytical, methodical, and driven by a need for control, but the Sagittarius degree suggests an emotional restlessness, a yearning to escape the confines of routine or circumstance. The presence of the fixed star Denebola amplifies Luigi’s nonconformity; he is not here to follow traditional paths but to carve out his own, even if it isolates him. The opposition to Jupiter in the sign of Pisces heightens the tension between practicality and emotional overwhelm. His mind craves order, but his heart often pulls him into situations where he must rely on intuition or faith. This inner conflict can manifest in struggles with self-doubt or indecision, as if his logical side is constantly at odds with a deeper, more spiritual knowing. He yearns for stability but is often drawn into chaos, a pattern that reflects his internal struggle to reconcile his need for control with life’s unpredictable nature.

Mercury in Aries @ 19 Degrees (Libra & Karmic Debt Degree)

Opposite Lilith

This placement stands out to me the most, it reveals a communicator who is both bold and burdened by past-life lessons. Mercury in Aries thrives on directness and a sharp intellect, often driving him to speak with unflinching honesty. He doesn’t shy away from conflict, especially when it comes to asserting his ideas. The karmic energy of the Libra degree suggests he is here to learn the balance between independence and collaboration, as his communication can sometimes alienate those who would otherwise support him. The opposition to Lilith in the sign of Libra adds a provocative edge, making his words powerful enough to expose hidden truths, yet often leaving emotional fallout in their wake. He speaks his mind with passion but must learn to temper this with empathy. His sharp wit and ability to see through facades can be both a gift and a challenge, as he often finds himself in verbal battles that mirror his internal quest for self-expression.

Venus in Aries (In Detriment) @ 3 Degrees (Gemini Degree)

Sextile Neptune

Venus in Aries is passionate, impulsive, and magnetic, making him someone who easily draws others in with his fiery charisma. However, the Gemini degree adds a layer of complexity, hinting at a need for intellectual stimulation and a restless heart that can make him seem elusive. The sextile to Neptune in the sign of Aquarius lends a dreamy, idealistic quality to his love life, as if he is constantly searching for a connection that feels both inspiring and transformative. Yet, this idealism can lead to disillusionment when reality doesn’t match his vision. He thrives on the excitement of love and connection but must learn to ground his expectations to build relationships that endure. His journey in love is one of balancing his need for independence with his deep desire for partnership. Something I believe he never found.

Mars in Taurus (In Detriment) @ 17 Degrees (Leo & Fame Degree)

Sextile Jupiter, Conjunct Fixed Star Rucha

Mars in Taurus shows someone steady and methodical, someone who doesn’t act rashly but with an unwavering focus on his goals. The Leo degree suggests a deep desire to be seen and remembered, an ambition that drives him to achieve, no matter the cost. The sextile to Jupiter at a Scorpio degree — 20, intensifies this energy, giving him a strategic mind and the ability to harness his emotions to fuel his success. Yet, this degree carries a shadow. His drive for justice can turn into a thirst for revenge when he feels wronged, as if he cannot rest until he has evened the scales. The conjunction with the fixed star Rucha amplifies his potential for success but also warns of the consequences of unchecked ambition. He is someone whose actions could have lead to great triumph or significant fallout, depending on how he channeled his immense energy. Very curious where this will lead him.

Mercury Retrograde Is Turning Up the Heat

From November 25 to December 15, Mercury is RETROGRADE in the sign of Sagittarius, promising a holiday season riddled with frustration and chaos. Sagittarius, the sign of travel, exploration, and big ideas, doesn’t mix well with Mercury’s backward spin. Holiday plans are likely to go off the rails, expect delayed or canceled flights, lost luggage, traffic jams, and travel mishaps that make you wonder why you even tried. 

Family gatherings? Sagittarius’s blunt, truth-telling energy could lead to arguments, hurt feelings, or someone accidentally spilling a secret that wasn’t meant to come out. Miscommunications will be rampant, so don’t be surprised if holiday invites get lost, schedules overlap, or you end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. On a global scale, this retrograde could disrupt diplomacy, spark international tensions, and create headline-worthy public missteps or scandals.

This isn’t the kind of retrograde that encourages calm reflection, it’s a cosmic warning to expect the unexpected and tread carefully. Double-check your plans, keep receipts, and avoid making big commitments unless you enjoy watching things fall apart. Patience will feel like a cruel joke, but it’s your best chance at surviving this holiday retrograde without a meltdown. Buckle up, and grab a martini, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Sending you all my love and blessings,

Ash (@AstroA3h via Instagram & TikTok)

How Pluto Entering Aquarius Will Shape the Next Two Decades

Hold onto your hats, because the cosmos just handed us a front-row ticket to the most exhilarating and unsettling ride of the century. Pluto, the planet of transformation, power, and those deep, dark truths we’d rather shove under the rug, is strutting into Aquarius, the sign of innovation, rebellion, and humanity’s collective future. This isn’t just a cosmic shuffle. It’s a full-blown revolution that will flip the script on every corner of life as we know it. We’re talking society, technology, relationships, and yes, your personal universe. This not your average astrological transit.

Pluto doesn’t mess around. This is the planet of the phoenix, meaning if something isn’t working, it’s about to burn down to ashes. But don’t panic. Aquarius isn’t here to destroy for the sake of destruction. This air sign is the visionary genius, the tech whiz, the humanitarian. Together, they’re rewriting the rules of the game. Think of it like a power wash for your life and our world, a little messy at first, but ultimately freeing. For the next 19 years, expect seismic shifts in how we connect as a species. Aquarius rules technology and social systems, so the digital landscape will explode with changes. In terms of astrology predictions, AI won’t just be a cool tool; it’s going to reshape the job market, education, and even how we understand what it means to be human. If you’ve been clinging to outdated ways of working or communicating, Pluto is here to snap you out of it. The advice? Embrace the new. Learn, adapt, grow. That app you’re too stubborn to download could end up being the key to your next career move.

Power structures are about to collapse. Pluto in Aquarius doesn’t tolerate inequality, corruption, or anything that reeks of the old guard clinging to control. Governments, corporations, and even social hierarchies are in for a rude awakening. On a personal level, ask yourself where you’ve been giving your power away. Is it to a boss who doesn’t value you? A partner who keeps you small? A habit that numbs your potential? Pluto is here to tear those chains apart. But it’s on you to step into the freedom that follows. Of course, there’s a shadow side. Aquarius can be cold, detached, even ruthless in its pursuit of the greater good. Be wary of losing yourself in groupthink or tech dependency. Just because the world is speeding up doesn’t mean you have to lose touch with your own humanity. Make time for real conversations, face-to-face connections, and grounding rituals. This isn’t just a suggestion.

It’s a survival tool for navigating the chaos.

And let’s talk relationships. Traditional bonds might feel stifling under this influence. Aquarius loves independence and freedom, so if you’re in a situation that feels too confining, it’s time to shake things up. This doesn’t mean running for the hills every time someone asks for commitment. But it does mean being honest about what you need to thrive. Maybe that’s more space, or maybe it’s a complete reimagining of what love looks like for you. Just know this: Pluto doesn’t do surface-level. Any connection that’s shallow, fake, or rooted in outdated ideals is going to crumble. And that’s a good thing. This is also a time to dream big, no, bigger. Aquarius is the sign of invention and radical ideas. If you’ve been sitting on a creative project, a business idea, or a vision for your future, Pluto is giving you a cosmic green light. But there’s a catch. You can’t just dream it; you have to build it. Aquarius is innovative, yes, but it’s also fiercely logical. It’s about using your genius to create something real. So, roll up your sleeves. Get to work. You have a 19-year runway to make something extraordinary.

But remember, transformation isn’t a one-and-done event. Pluto moves slowly, digging deep into the cracks we don’t want to see. There will be moments when it feels too intense, too overwhelming. That’s when you lean into the Aquarian gift of vision. What kind of future do you want to build? What kind of person do you want to become? Keep your eyes on the horizon, even when the ground shakes beneath your feet. Pluto in Aquarius isn’t just a transit. It’s a call to action. It’s a demand to evolve. The world is changing, fast. And the question isn’t whether you’ll adapt. It’s whether you’ll rise to meet the opportunity. The universe believes you can. Now it’s your turn to believe it too.

Sending you all my love and blessings,

Ash (@AstroA3h via Instagram & TikTok)

Mars Enters Leo ✨

Mars entered Leo on November 3, 2024 setting the stage for a dramatic journey that’s going to feel like we’re all living out our own Overboard moment — one of my favorite movies. Have you seen it? Just like Joanna, Goldie Hawn’s unforgettable character, we’re about to get stripped of our comfort zones, thrown into an emotional vortex, 💔 and challenged to find who we really are beneath the glitter and bravado. 

In Leo, Mars wants us to be bold, strong, and fearless, our inner Joanna on that yacht, perfectly in control. But come January, when Mars retrogrades back into Cancer, we’re plunged into unfamiliar waters, 🌊 forced to confront the vulnerable parts of ourselves we’ve tried to hide. We may feel lost or exhausted, like Joanna when she faces amnesia and finds her self scrubbing floors while wondering who she even is anymore. 

But if the character Joanna taught us anything, it’s that sometimes losing the life we think we need is the only way to find the life we truly want. By February, when Mars turns direct, we’ll emerge with a new understanding of ourselves. Not just the shiny, confident parts, but the raw, resilient spirit that’s always been there. So hold on tight, because this journey isn’t about staying in control; it’s about uncovering the depths of who we are when we LET GO! 🥹🥹🥹

Let’s explore how this Mars-in-Leo-and-Cancer transit might affect you based on the house Mars is and will be transiting.

1st House (Self, Identity, Physical Body)

Mars in Leo brings a surge in confidence, pushing you to change your look or assert your goals boldly. You may start a fitness routine or reinvent your style. Retrograde in Cancer, however, could bring self-doubt or fatigue, prompting you to reflect on your identity and values. By April, you’ll emerge with a refined self-image, grounded in authenticity, feeling stronger and more self-assured in how you present yourself to the world.

2nd House (Finances, Values, Self-Worth)

Mars in Leo energizes your drive for financial growth, encouraging you to make bold investments or explore new income sources. This might lead to a purchase or decision that symbolizes your values. During retrograde in Cancer, financial setbacks or expenses may surface, prompting a reevaluation of your spending habits. By April, you’ll feel more financially stable, with a clear understanding of your priorities and an improved approach to self-worth.

3rd House (Communication, Learning, Siblings)

Mars in Leo will boost your communication style, making you more expressive and confident. You might start a blog, initiate a new learning project, or take on sibling matters actively. Retrograde in Cancer, however, could lead to misunderstandings or introspection on how you connect with others. By April, you’ll find your voice stronger and clearer, enhancing your relationships with siblings, friends, and your approach to learning or local matters.

4th House (Home, Family, Roots)

Mars in Leo energizes your home life, sparking a desire to make changes in your living space or tackle family issues. You may consider moving, redecorating, or taking a more active role within family dynamics. Retrograde in Cancer might bring old family issues to light, prompting deep reflection on past connections. By April, you’ll establish a more harmonious and secure home, ready to embrace your roots and nurture your personal sanctuary.

5th House (Creativity, Romance, Pleasure)

Mars in Leo lights up your creative and romantic life, encouraging bold moves in love or passion projects. You might take a risk on a new romance or dive into an artistic venture.

By April, you’ll have clarity on what truly fulfills you, ready to focus on relationships and creative pursuits that offer lasting satisfaction.

6th House (Health, Work, Daily Routines)

Mars in Leo motivates you to take charge of your health and work routines, perhaps starting a fitness plan or tackling professional goals with vigor. Retrograde in Cancer might bring fatigue or health concerns, prompting a reassessment of your self-care habits. By April, you’ll have established a balanced routine that supports both your productivity and well-being, allowing you to achieve goals sustainably without burnout.

7th House (Relationships, Partnerships)

Mars in Leo intensifies your partnerships, inspiring bold actions in relationships and a desire to set clear boundaries. You may feel drawn to confront unresolved issues or clarify expectations.

By April, you’ll have gained insights into what you need from relationships, ready to invest in bonds that support both passion and stability.

8th House (Intimacy, Transformation, Shared Resources)

Mars in Leo drives deep transformations in intimacy and shared resources, prompting you to set boundaries in financial partnerships or open up emotionally.

By April, you’ll have achieved a stronger understanding of how to navigate intimacy and shared resources, feeling more empowered and secure in both financial and emotional matters.

9th House (Adventure, Higher Learning, Beliefs)

Mars in Leo pushes you toward adventure, encouraging travel, higher learning, or a philosophical shift. You may feel a strong urge to expand your horizons through new experiences or studies. Retrograde in Cancer, however, could delay plans or bring doubts about your direction, making you question your beliefs. By April, you’ll have a clearer vision for your future, ready to embrace new goals and experiences that truly resonate with your values.

10th House (Career, Reputation, Goals)

Mars in Leo energizes your career, motivating you to pursue new responsibilities or leadership roles. You may find yourself tackling big projects or gaining recognition. Retrograde in Cancer could bring professional setbacks or make you question long-term goals, encouraging a reassessment of your career path. By April, you’ll have refined your vision for success, ready to pursue goals that align with your purpose and bring true fulfillment.

11th House (Friendships, Community, Future Goals)

Mars in Leo boosts your social life, inspiring you to take an active role in community projects or future goals. You may feel driven to expand your network or initiate group ventures. Retrograde in Cancer might bring back old friends or prompt a re-evaluation of your social connections. By April, you’ll have clarity on who supports your growth, ready to invest in friendships and group endeavors that resonate with your authentic self.

12th House (Spirituality, Subconscious, Hidden Matters)

Mars in Leo stirs your inner world, pushing you to confront hidden fears or embark on a spiritual journey. You may feel drawn to self-reflection, meditation, or therapeutic practices. Retrograde in Cancer could bring up unresolved emotions or past wounds, prompting a period of introspection. By April, you’ll feel a renewed sense of inner peace, having released old baggage and gained a deeper understanding of your spiritual path.

Erik Menendez & His Big Three

Sagittarius Sun in the 4th House @ 5 Degrees (Leo & Fame Degree)

The Sun represents the core of our identity, our sense of self, and our life’s purpose. In Sagittarius, Erik’s Sun placement reveals a strong need for freedom, truth, and exploration. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, meaning that Erik would have had an innate desire to seek new experiences, learn about the world, and push boundaries. However, his Sun falls in the 4th House, the house of family, home, and emotional foundations. This placement indicates that Erik’s personal identity was deeply tied to his family and upbringing. Sagittarius energy, which craves freedom and independence, is at odds with the 4th House’s focus on roots and emotional security, suggesting an internal conflict between wanting to break free from family expectations and being bound to them.

Adding in 5 degrees to the mix, this placement takes on an even more dramatic tone. The Leo degree is associated with fame, leadership, and public recognition, but fame that often comes with a price. Erik’s life, tied so deeply to his family, was thrust into the public eye, but the fame came in the form of a high-profile trial and infamy rather than personal achievement. The Leo energy enhances the importance of ego and the need to be seen, and in Erik’s case, his family issues became a matter of public spectacle, with his identity forever linked to the notoriety of his family drama. This placement suggests a life in which his personal self was never fully separate from the public’s view of his family, reinforcing the theme of fame tied to painful consequences.

Scorpio Moon in the 3rd House @ 26 Degrees (Taurus Degree)

The Moon governs our emotional world, instincts, and how we seek comfort. With the Moon in Scorpio, Erik’s emotional landscape would have been intense, secretive, and full of deep psychological complexity. Scorpio is a sign that delves into the undercurrents of life—power, control, transformation, and emotional extremes. Scorpio Moons are known to feel things deeply, often experiencing emotions like betrayal, fear, and obsession. Erik likely internalized his emotions, feeling an intense need to guard his vulnerabilities. Scorpio is also ruled by Pluto, the planet of transformation and rebirth, which indicates that Erik’s emotional experiences would have often been life-altering or tied to significant crises. Scorpio Moons also have a tendency to hold onto emotional wounds, and in Erik’s case, this would have manifested as a deep-seated resentment and pain connected to his family.

In the 3rd House, which rules communication, siblings, and immediate environment, Erik’s Moon placement suggests that these intense emotional experiences were tied to his interactions with his family—particularly his brother, Lyle, and the communication within the household and even now in prison. This is a placement of emotional power struggles, especially between siblings or close family members, where conversations and relationships are colored by secrecy, manipulation, and control. The Taurus degree (26 degrees) adds an additional layer to this. Taurus is associated with stability, material wealth, and comfort. While Scorpio is emotionally turbulent, Taurus craves peace and security. This degree suggests that Erik’s emotional turmoil was compounded by the material abundance he was surrounded by, a luxurious yet emotionally toxic environment. It indicates that while Erik lived in comfort and wealth, his emotional life was anything but secure. He may have felt trapped by the wealth that surrounded him, further intensifying his feelings of powerlessness and resentment toward his family. I believe this could be why he feels so free in prison. Wealth is a burden for Erik.

Virgo Ascendant @ 4 Degrees (Cancer Degree)

The Ascendant, or rising sign, represents how we approach life, how others perceive us, and the persona we project to the world. With Virgo Ascendant, Erik’s outward personality would have been seen as analytical, detail-oriented, and somewhat reserved. Virgo risings are often critical of themselves and others, always striving for perfection. They tend to be practical and controlled, preferring to focus on details and order. This placement suggests that Erik might have appeared composed, responsible, and even meticulous in how he managed his life and interactions, especially within his family. However, Virgo risings can also be highly self-critical, and this often manifests as internal pressure to meet impossible standards, especially in a family dynamic where expectations are high.

At 4 degrees, Erik’s Ascendant is linked to Cancer energy, which adds an emotional, family-oriented layer to his Virgo rising. Cancer is ruled by the Moon and governs family, maternal influences, and emotional security. This degree suggests that Erik’s outward demeanor and his approach to life were profoundly shaped by his relationship with his family, especially his mother. 4 degrees emphasizes emotional nurturing (or lack thereof), and in most cases, this degree points to deep "mommy issues" and unresolved emotional wounds connected to maternal care. Erik’s Virgo rising would have made him appear rational and controlled on the outside, but the Cancer influence shows that underneath this exterior, there were deep emotional scars and unmet emotional needs, particularly tied to his mom, Kitty.
