Moon in Pisces will oppose Mars at 16°

Tonight, the Moon in Pisces will oppose Mars in Virgo at 16°

A tug of war between two opposing themes. Pisces, the dreamer tugging with Virgo the patient realist. Our emotions are leading us, but Mars is where our actions come from. Today and tomorrow may have you reflecting on how you feel about your relationships. The Moon is in Pisces, which is ruled by Jupiter. Currently, Jupiter is in Cancer, a sign that the Moon rules. Big emotions could be on display as Jupiter tends to expand and take up space.

Uranus newly in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius

Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius still start their Air trine for the next seven years. Uranus moved into Gemini last week ushering a seven year cycle (transit) dealing with our communication, intellect, technology, and how we travel. For a snippet of what this uranus in Gemini transit will bring, check out my co-host and I’s podcast from 2024.

Three Planets at 15° - 16°

Earlier in the day Moon in Pisces and Mercury in Leo will both be at 15°

15° is an air ruled degree; Gemini

There might be some sudden news that impacts our emotions in the coming days if not today or tomorrow. Mercury has started its pre- shadow period till Jul 18th when its retrograde will start.

Tuesday, Jul 15

Moon in Pisces trine Sun in Cancer at 23°

The Sun and Moon are working together where our identity and emotions are co-existing pretty effortlessly. With this trine happening at 23° it exerting more Aquarius qualities, so you may be aligning more with your community in a physical (Sun) and emotional (Moon) level. Good time for communion among people you share interest with. A lot of ideas are flowing where you may have to be a little more realistic about where things are. Aquarius is an air sign, whereas Cancer and Pisces are both water signs.

Wednesday, Jul 16

Moon in Aries square Jupiter in Cancer at 8°

In the afternoon, the Moon which will be in Aries forms a square with Jupiter in Cancer. Since they are both cardinal signs, themes of beginning is prominent, but the planets being at 8° is also signally an ending. A period of bad luck could be ending for someone. Check to see where this aspect sits in your chart. For example, if Cancer rules your 12H, then the transit Jupiter is sitting there and the Aries Moon is in your 3H. Have you had a period of seclusion (12H)? What from the subconscious (12H) is not being communicated (3H)? How is your temper? Do you feel increasingly irritated?

Thursday, Jul 17

Sun in Cancer square Moon in Aries

Moon in Aries will square the Sun in Cancer bringing challenges to our idenity. Think about how you felt or what you did on Tuesday to today. Has there been new beginnings? What needs to be initiated? What steps do you need to take? You might be perceived as softer wherever the Cancer Sun sits in your chart. As the Aries mars may bring defensive confrontations.

Moon in Aries will trine Mercury in Leo at 15°

The Moon in Aries will trine Mercury in Leo where our communication and emotional processing is moving quicker. Aries and Leo are fire signs, so it would be a good time to take a minute for yourself. Trines are when signs of the same modality aspect one another in this case, Aries and Leo, with this said think of this as spark potential. Lighting the match, because these are fire signs working together

Friday, Jul 18

Mercury will retrograde into Leo at 15°

Mercury retrograde will begin on Friday, Jul 18th at 12:45 am EST. Take note of events, conversations, and themes that surface as things will play out. Mercury will be in retrograde until August 11 where it will station direct at 4° Leo at 3:29 AM EST. However, Mercury will not be at the degree it stationed retrograde in until August 25th. Recommendation is to keep a journal to write and see how things unfolded for you in the next six weeks.

Saturday, Jul 19

Moon in Taurus trine Mars in Virgo

Today might be a good day to get work done. Moon in Taurus trine Mars in Virgo has us dealing with earth sign modality. Mars in Virgo can be critical, communicative, and analytical. Virgo is ruled by Mercury which is currently in retrograde, so things may feel a little off. Your actions may feel slow or stagnant, but it is impotant to be patient and consisent. Moon in Taurus is about the patience as the Moon is exalted in Taurus. How can you take your time, but still remain on course?

Sunday, Jul 20

Moon in Gemini conjunct Uranus in Gemini

Our first Moon in Gemini during this new Uranus in Gemini transit. Uranus went into Gemini on Jul 7 at 3:47 AM EST when the Moon was in Sagittarius at 4°. Gemini and Sagittarius are twin signs, they oppose one another creating a 180° opposition. So, it is interesting that the Moon was opposing Uranus the day they entered their sister signs.

Moon in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius

This Gemini Moon will trine Pluto in Aquarius bringing up conflicting and emotional tension/excitability. I am expecting to see collective feelings about the advancement of technology potential change. In particular thinking about air travel,

Weekly Forecasts: 10/23/23

BIG week ahead for the week of October 23rd! We have a Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on Saturday, Oct 28th at 1:24 PM PST. This will be the final eclipse in the Taurus-Scorpio axis, closing a period that started in November 2021. Think about where you were, what you were doing, and how did you feel during that first set of eclipses?

Monday 10/23

Monday starts off with some direct tension in our relationships and emotions. Venus is Virgo @ 13° is making an sesquisquare to Pluto in Capricorn @ 27° may bring up some external conflicts. You will have to check where Virgo and Capricorn sit in your chart for tips on where the friction may come from. For example, if you have Virgo in your 6H (daily habits/routine/work) that means Capricorn is in your 10H (career & reputation). The external friction may come from your work and career. Are you finding it full-filling? Are you wanting to leave? Sesquisquares bring up annoyances that can often be easily pushed aside, but if you confront them, growth can happen. Pluto in 27° of Capricorn makes me think that a conversation will be had (27°=gemini degree). Maybe you’ll have a conversation with your siblings or even do some small distance traveling. Venus, a personal placement deals with our partnerships (romantic, personal, business). Be mindful of the conversations you start today.

The Moon in Aquarius @ 21° is squaring Uranus Rx in Taurus @ 21° may bring some pressure to work on an issue. As we get closer to the eclipse we are going to be put in positions to help bring about any necessary change the areas (houses) that will be impacted. You’re looking for some stability in change. What can you do to ground yourself? What action can you take to bring stability? This is a tight square where both planets ate @21° a Sagittarius. Are you desiring to be free? Do you feel trapped? If so, by what?

We do have one ‘easy’ transits on this day, which is Sun in Scorpio @ 0° making a trine to Saturn in Pisces @ 0°. Think of this as iff the energies or Scorpio and Pisces being one. The energies are working together. Scorpio is a fixed sign that needs to feel secure (stable), whereas Pisces is a mutable sign keen to being adaptable and going either direction. What responsibilities do you have? They may be easier to adhere to during this transit. What lessons have you recently learn, and can now incorporate in your life? What should you be concentrating on? This transit will be here till Tuesday

Wednesday 10/25

The Moon in Pisces @ 20° makes a sesquisquare to Mercury in Scorpio @ 5°. You may have to conversation with an authority figure dealing with deep topics or having a deep conversation. Some secrets make be uncovered, with Moon in Pisces @ 20° (Scorpio degree). Are you worried about something coming to light? Whatever is bothering you may be an accumulation of behavior.

Use of steel/iron make escalate in the coming weeks as the Sun, Mars, and Mercury move through Scorpio. Eyeing occupied Palestine and the use of weapons used by Israeli settlers. The price of steel may change as western forces demand more military aid. Additionally, as world powers try to switch to greener options, the current use of steel and iron may change.

Another transit in the sky for Wednesday is Moon sextile to Uranus in Taurus @ 21° giving opportunity for growth without the tension. Think of these energies cooperating with one another. You might be more inclined to take slightly rebellious action (Uranus) based on how you are feeling (Moon). Now, moving based on how you feel is not inherently bad or antithesis to logic. Be deliberate with your action as you will have the energy necessary to resolve issues.

Thursday 10/26

As we move into Thursday we will have Mars in Scorpio @ 9° sesqisquare with Neptune in Pisces @ 25°. Your energy may be low. Neptune will sit in the 3H of intellect, siblings, and communication. The 3H is ruled by Gemini, which is ruled by Mercury. As Neptune in Pisces sits in this house new communication or new way of thinking may be establish with it being in 25° (Aries degree=cardinal). Mars @ 9° in the 10H is signaling some are breaking away or shaking up their career and reputation. Think unorthodox and unconventional. The 9° is a Sagittarius degree, the half man half horce. The horse desire to run and be free, whereas half man understands responsibilities and conformity.

An external conflict that you’d rather push to the side may rise. Sesquiquadrate highlight repeated conflicts we have yet too or refuse to address. What tension between different ideas are you having? Taking action (Mars in Scorpio) vs day dreaming (Neptune in Pisces). Face it, but be intentional. This is an opportunity for growth. You might be hyper suspicious of others and vice versa because of this transit, and with Mars being Scorpio. Pisces is a mutable sign meaning it is adaptable (fish swimming). Scorpio is a fixed sign trying to find stable ground (Scorpion). As we lead up to the Lunar Partial Eclipse, what direction do you want to go? This transit will remain in the sky till Friday.

Friday 10/27

Jupiter in Taurus @ 11° opposite to Mars in Scorpio @ 10°. Check in with your family, particular a mother or woman figure in your life. The Mars is more calculated with it being @ 10° (Capricorn degree). I like to think of Capricorn has playing the long game, they know what they want, and like to planTaurus is ruled by Venus, and in this transit, Venus is in the 9H, which is ruled by Jupiter the planet of law & religion. My first thought is ‘justice for women and children.’ Events from your childhood are coming full circle with Jupiter in 4H. Of course with it at 11° these opportunities will come about through unconventional ways, maybe through attention or spotlight since Venus is @ 17°.

Saturday 10/28

See Lunar Partial Eclipse for full analysis. In short, we are ending a two year long cycle that started in November 2021. Wherever Taurus sits in your chart will be impacted. Try to think about where you were at the start of this Taurus-Scorpio axis cycle. Where are you now? What have you learned in the last two years? What lessons will you now incorporate in your life?

Sunday 10/29

On Friday we had Mars opposite Jupiter, and today we have Mercury in Scorpio @ 12° opposite Jupiter in Taurus @ 11°. This is the time to think big picture. New information is going to flow in and help you make a decision. Be open to changing your mind. Oppositions are about finding balance. As you seek financial security because of childhood trauma (4H) in one hand will you obsess over material possession or fame (10H)? Communicate with intention.

Lunar Partial Eclipse in Taurus 

On Saturday, October 28th @ 1:24 AM there will be a Lunar Eclipse in Taurus. This will be the last eclipse in the Taurus-Scorpio axis till 2031!! We are finishing up a cycle that began in November 2021. Think about where you were, what you were doing, and how did you feel during that first set of eclipses? 

This eclipse will be happening @ 5° of Taurus. Check your chart for where Taurus sits to give you insight to the area this eclipse will be impacting you. Unlike the Annular Solar Eclipse we had on Oct 14, this Lunar Partial will be a Full Moon, so the same Full Moon energies are on a larger magnitude. Endings. What are you letting go? What lessons have you learned in the past two years that you can incorporate to help you grow? 

With a Lunar eclipse this means the Sun is opposite the Moon. Sun in Scorpio is opp Moon in Taurus @ 5°. How are you balancing what you say/need on the surface level with what your subconscious think about or may obsess with? For example, are you searching for material possessions (Taurus) because you obsess over (Scorpio) lacking or not having security/stability? This also happening at 5° (Leo degree), which may bring up feelings and conversations about your father/male or an authority figure in your life. Check in with you heart, literally. Think heart health. Do you need to go to the doctor? Are you worried about your health?

This eclipse is happening in the 3H in this forecast, so what communication/conversation (3H=gemini) will you be having? The Sun (self) will be in the 9H, so your mindset and outlook (philosophy) may change six months from now. Depending on where this eclipse sits, you may be thinking about going back to school (higher education). Some of you maybe moving or doing some long distance travel (9H=sagittarius). Others may be beginning their spiritual journey (9H=Jupiter). Again, this will also depend on where this eclipse sits in your chart. The chart for this transit is a snapshot.

People in the spotlight, celebrities, monarchies, and politicians may fall from grace. Full Moons are still about illuminating, and although the moon is moving into Earth’s shadow, it is highlighting what is behind the surface. Highlighting, what is hiding literally in the shadows. Especially with this eclipse happening in 5°, more news may come out heads of countries. Someone may die and it may bring suppressed information to light.

On this day, we also have Neptune in Pisces @ 25° semi-square to Jupiter in Taurus @ 11°. How can you turn your dreams into reality? What actions do you need to set into motion? Semi-squares are about internal frustration or conflict. What is stirring inside you that you need to change? The Neptune in Pisces @ 25° is signaling a new beginning, new step being taken (25°=Aries=Cardinal degree). The expansive Jupiter in Taurus at 11° is letting us know you may be taking an unorthodox way of achieving your dreams. Neptune and Jupiter co-rule Pisces, which is in the 2H for this transits chart. Cash flow (income) may change following this transits. Maybe you are purging material possessions, and letting go of old habits, to reprioritize what you truly desire. This might be a highly emotional time.

Mercury @ 10° and Mars @ 11° will form a conjunction in Scorpio. This eclipse will be an ideal time to journal and think about whatever is on your mind. Are you thinking about work? Relationships? Family? Your career? Health? You are more attuned to your thoughts, try not to engage in obsessive thinking  during this time though. With Mars sitting in the sign that it rules, Scorpio (traditional astrology) you may feel a little more energized, and fiery. Be mindful of your words as you and others may be more argumentative during this transit. However, this is a great time if you are researching a topic, this conjunction in Scorpio may help you have more depth in the topic. Channel any buildup energy into action. 

This conjunction will make an opposite to Jupiter in Taurus @ 11°. Mars in Scorpio making an exact opposition. What do you ultimately want? Think of Taurus as the surface level appearance/ideas whereas Scorpio is the feelings below the surface. Ex. Valuing (Taurus) relationship security because fear (underneath feeling=Scorpio) of abandonment. When there is an opposition in a transit, we will be dealing with the duality of the two energies (Taurus & Scorpio). How can we cooperate? Or do we need break away? Maybe your relationship isn’t giving you the security you need. You can either take action to get their security or walk away. I see anything with Mars as dealing with action. If you are wanting more, you may be inclined to take risk to achieve it. However, be deliberate, don’t lose sight of the bigger picture. Understand when to fight or flight. Pick your battles during this transit. Since we are dealing with Jupiter, new opportunities may be offered to you. Do not overextend yourself. Again, balance the energies. 

Neptune in Pisces @ 25° will form a sesquiquadrate with Mercury in Scorpio @ 10° you may be confused because of external friction happening around you. A shift in your perception/thinking (Mercury) may be challenged and changed. You may be put in a position to assert yourself, make your presence known. Do it. This is an opportunity for personal growth.

Transit for Week of September 17th, 2023

Posted on 9/17/23 @ 12:49 AM PST

The astrology for the week of September 17th is interesting to say the least. Mars has been in Libra since August 27th and since September 11th, it has been making a sextile with Venus in Leo. The theme for the next month is Justice for Women. There will be a grande trine working in your favor this week helping you accomplish task dealing with your long term goals and career. There is also a T-square that I might make another post about.

Sunday, Sept 17th

Mars is the planet of action, initiation, and productivity. Mars in Libra will bring action that deals with justice as Libra is represented by the scales. Sextiles are about the energies of the signs working together as if they are in sync. Venus in Leo is basically women in the spotlight because Venus = women and Leo = sun/attention. In short, the energies of Libra (justice) are syncing (sextile) with women (Venus) getting the spotlight (Leo). But the spotlight is more so vindication after being wronged and the women in the spotlight maybe literal celebrities or adjacent. This transit will last till October 11th. I think tomorrow, Sunday, Sept 17th maybe when major news comes out with Venus in Leo at 15° which is a Gemini degree = communication possible international communication.

This is further emphasized by the direct midpoint Neptune=Mercury/Mars; the stage of getting in involved in controversies or lawsuits and the pursuit of fanatical plans.

Monday, Sept 18th

By Monday, think about journaling your dreams as the Moon moves into Scorpio creating an opposition with Jupiter in Taurus. The Moon will be in the 12H of subconscious, and since Scorpio already represent the underworld it is further emphasized. Moon in Scorpio at 7° will have us thinking about our relationships (romantic, platonic, business), and how people perceive us. Jupiter is in Taurus at 15° will have us communicating (15° = gemini degree) about our values and what we needed to feel secure especially in our daily lives and health with it being in the 6H (virgo house).

A direct midpoint Neptune=Moon/Jupiter; female civil servant or officials dealing with enterprises or legal and maybe religious conflicts may arise. Be mindful in social settings. 

If you’re not trying to get pregnant make sure you are taking precautions. Neptune=Moon/Venus; the female capable of conception. You may be a little moody on Monday with the direct midpoint as well so try not to make rash decisions. Think first.

Tuesday, Sept 19th

You may have a breakthrough at work or in your career as Tuesday rolls around. The Sun in Virgo at 26° in the 10H forms a trine with Uranus in Taurus at 22°. The Uranus Rx will slide back into 6H of work and routine on Tuesday. Uranus is the planet of sudden change and rebellion at 22° in Taurus signaling responsibilities and long term goals (22° =Capricorn degree). Although Uranus is in retrograde it will be supported by the Sun in Virgo helping you apply the action and handle your responsibilities. Are you worried about financial security? Looking for a new job? Wanting to take control of your reputation? I see this trine syncing the energies of Virgo and Taurus bringing application to the values and your needs. 

Wednesday, Sept 20th

Internal conflicts will need to be faced on Wednesday with Mars in Libra in 11H at 15° semi-square Moon in Sagittarius at 2°. The Moon in the 1H will have you reflecting about your outlook on the world, especially with who you associate and your networks, you might think you need to reinvent yourself. Be mindful of the internal conflicts you feel this day because they are likely part of a larger habits (Mars sesqui-square with Saturn) being compelled to break. Do the people you associate with align with you? Do you align with the people you associate with? Has your outlook on life or even appearance change because of your associations? Although it is an internal conflict, themes of diplomacy, justice, and balance may come up during this reflective transit. Finding a way to communicate what is happening will be something to prioritize. If you are not comfortable with speaking, you can journal or create some art (2°=Taurus degree ruled by Venus=art) 

Thursday, Sept 21st

Any journaling you did on Wednesday will come in handy as the Moon and Mars now make a sextile with one another having their energies work in sync with one another. However, restrictions in communication are still present but  you are now forced to directly deal with the tension as the Moon now forms a square with Mercury in in Virgo at 10° in 9H. The conversation may be about travel like long distance (9H rules by Sag), higher education, and law/religion. Because Mercury is in the 10° degree (Capricorn degree), you have responsibilities to face that is in conflict with your desire for freedom (Moon in Sag). How are you finding balance with what you desire, your responsibilities, and diplomacy in your associations.

Friday, Sept 22nd

External conflict caused by habits that need to break will come to the forefront to you today. Moon in Sag at 29° forms a sesqui-square with Jupiter in Taurus at 15°. The Moon now sits in the 2H of daily routine, work ethic, and income. While Jupiter sits in the 6H of work habits, health, and service given. A few questions to think about: How does your work ethic impact your work habits? Are they aligned for your success? Is your daily routine a healthy habit you should be continuing? Is your income sustaining you? Do you need a certain service provided to help you break any habit that are no longer serving you?

July 22nd: Venus Rx in Leo

Posted on 07/11/23 @ 12:

Venus Rx will begin on July 22nd @ 28° (Cancer degree), emphasizing the contemplative period we are beginning. You may feel a little defensive right now, and trying to protect yourself. Do not hide from conflict, face it head on and fight. During this transit it is essential for you to practice discernment between what is happening in the material world and your feelings. Although relationships will change, it’s important to know which ones are worth keeping, and which ones have run their course. What lessons have you learned? Think about who you were and what you were doing during the last Venus Rx in Capricorn during December 19, 2021- January 29, 2022.

If you are a Leo rising, this Venus Rx is happening in your 1H (I am), dealing with your identity, the image you project, and outlook. Is the way you project yourself aligned with your values? You as a person are about to change.

Wherever Leo sits in your chart will be highlighted during this Venus Rx. Look below to see which house Leo sits in your chart based on your rising sign and what themes may come up during this transit.

Leo in your chart

Aries Rising: 5th House; I serve (personal creativity) 

-For Aries rising, I see this Venus Rx shaking up how you express yourself. With Venus being in Leo, I think many of you will be taking the initiatives that put you center stage in your life. This will be a time where you reflect over your values in and how you express yourself. Romance may be in the air for meaning of you as well. Since 5H deals with fertility, children= Leo=vitality, if you do not want to get pregnant make sure you are taking all precautions.

Taurus Rising: 4th House; I nurture

-Changes to your home life are arriving. Home in the literal sense like where you live and also home as in your roots. You maybe moving or re-decorating your home. You may reconnect with family (your foundation), and reflect over how you want to take action in how you nurture yourself specifically.

Gemini Rising: 3rd House; I think

-Your mind and thinking process will be changing during this transit. The Rx will cause you to reflect over how you communicate with others and whether or not you find it useful and productive. Test (conflict) may arise calling on you to address confrontation in your social settings and activities. Remember, you don’t have to engage. If you do engage, think before you speak. Mercury will have entered Leo on July 11th, increasing heated conversations. How can you communicate your values to people? What boundaries will you enforce?

Cancer Rising: 2nd House; I have

-Material possessions (cash/commodities/work) will be a focal for you this transit. Where do your values align and are you living that value? What new steps do you need to make? This is the time to be patient, reflect, and be open to reassessing what you are seeking to have. You may change jobs or have change in your income. Changes to your daily habits are expected to take place as well. Adjustments to your daily habit that center you and your priorities.

Virgo Rising: 12 House; I dream

- Ex’s may appear in your dreams during this transit or be on your mind (subconscious). Do not think that an ex appearing in your dream means you miss them. You may be processing how things ended. They may also be thinking about you. You could be officially ending cycles and relationships. Childhood triggers of not having control may arise. Pay attention to your dreams during this transit because you will learn more about yourself. Write down your dreams to help you look at possible patterns or themes occurring.

Libra Rising: 11th House; I aspire

- Are you starting a new venture? Or trying to stabilize a current project? Who are the people you have in your corner supporting you? Tap in to the people who you trust, and support you during this transit. You may be thinking about the future during this transit. Also pay attention to any possible technology issues that may arise. 

Scorpio Rising: 10th House; I achieve

- You are thinking about your future and legacy you want to have. What steps do you need to take? Thoughts about your reputation are likely to come to the forefront. New career or job offers. If it’s not an immediate, YES, then its a no, and that is okay. 

Sagittarius Rising: 9th House; I explore

-You may be exploring feelings related to your inner child. Many of you may meet a new person while traveling abroad, or in higher education. Pay attention to any flags, now is not the time to ignore them. This Venus Rx will transform your philosophy. Leave you with different values and wisdom. Some of you may be exploring religion or reflecting the way religion has impacted you. 

Capricorn Rising: 8th House; I circulate

-As a Saturn ruled placement, you often face many restrictions. You may feel like you are held to a higher standard than others. During this transits, people who have wronged you may come back. You could inherit energy from other people so make sure you step up your spiritual protection. Debts are being paid.

Aquarius Rising: 7th House; I partner

-Big changes to your relationships. If you are in a relationship, check in with your partner. Are your values aligned? The word relationship is not limited to romantic ones either. How are you caring for yourself during this time. This Venus Rx in Leo wants you to think about how your relationships make you feel and benefit you. Do you feel supported by your partner or other interpersonal relationships. Are your relationships helping you grow as a person? 

Pisces Rising: 6th House; I serve (daily life/others)

-Check in with your health. Your vitality is being highlighted during this transit. What care are you in need of? Changes to appearance based on your overall health could take place. You are more analytical about subjects of the heart, and work ethic (habits). What habits do you need to keep or let go? On the body, Leo represents the heart so make sure you monitor your heart health during this time.

July 10th: Mars Enters Virgo

Posted on Jul 8 12:05 AM

On July 10th 2023 @ 7:40 AM EST, Mars will enter Virgo. A busy summer is ahead for all of us, but especially people with personal placements in Virgo (top 3 or 6). Virgo is the sign of being analytical and calculated. Mars isn’t a huge fan of being in Virgo. The planet of action, it feels more comfortable in fire or air sign (quick action). This transit will take place in the 1H, we are projecting methodical behavior. You are planning and making a list whether physical or in your head of things you want to accomplish. Although Virgo is a mutable sign, it very much enjoys planning, and having a set schedule, more importantly being prepared and anticipating anything. Virgo is an earth sign, and craves being grounded because they feel in control. Being analytical allows for Virgo to be grounded, while still open to adapting to their [preset] ideas. However, this adaptive analytical skills can sometimes become very critical of the self and others. 

During this transits you may be inclined to start new goals or projects, and lay the ground work for what you need to check off. Try not to be too critical of yourself and others during this time and be open to change. This transit will be very beneficial for us during the Venus Rx. While the rx is asking us to reflect, Mars (action), will help us be more analytical in how we behave or make choices. The change will be seen in how we approach those challenges.

This Mars will be opposing Saturn in Pisces at 6° in the 8H of death/birth, inheritance (people’s resources in your hands), mystery, sex. Your outside resources (things you inherit from other people) may minimize (6°=virgo degree=minimize). Pisces, another mutable, but water, likes to ride the wave, and is the twin to Virgo. Whereas Virgo must plan to anticipate, Pisces goes with the flow. With Saturn in Pisces, the flow is being less restricted, creating some instability. Saturn being the planet of responsibilities, authority, and limitations. So, Saturn is not a fan to be in the sign of go with the flow Pisces because it’s loose control when it comes to handling responsibilities, where they may drip (water) through. 

So while your action may be strategic, the restrictions you face may be like a wave flowing in different directions. It is this reason why I say you should be open to not checking off every sing thing off your list. The other people’s resources you may receive could come and go, which may impact your ability to check everything off. Additionally, you are being in a position where you do not have complete control. How will you behave?

I do see a short transit giving ease to our communication though. This transiting Mars will form a semisextile (30°) to Mercury in Cancer @ 28°. I see planned conversations with your family; specifically women in your life, could be a partner or mother figure. You might also be having communication about changing your home, specifically your bedroom with Mercury in 12H (dreams). I am definitely seeing alterations and change happening to your home or sleep. Pluto in Capricorn is opposed to Mercury in Cancer. The cusp of the 6H is 8° in Capricorn meaning you may come into help (service, take from others) from someone above you physically like the live above you, or they have some authority or power over you (Capricorn rules height). 

Do not let your desire to control the situation get in the way of the changes taking place. Uranus in Taurus @ 22° in 10H is squared to Mars in Virgo. Two earth signs value stability, and with Uranus @ 22° you are trying to take control of your career, long-term goals,  and reputation. Learn how to step back, and realize you cannot control everything.

Full Moon: Jul 3rd 2023

Posted 2:08 AM PST

On Monday, Jul 3rd we had a Full Moon in Capricorn at 11° in the 7H of partnerships. Asking us to reflect about our commitment and responsibilities in our partnerships (platonic and romantic). Cusp at 29° Sagittarius there is a desire to seek freedom, escaping conformity (archer; half man half horse). Try to be aware of ways you might be selfish during this transit. The 29° degree is a critical, Leo degree, which is ruled by the Sun; think center of attention. When we look at where Sun is placed at the start of the Full Moon, the Sun sits in the 1H at 11° in Cancer. A tight and exact opposite. Two opposing energies. Whereas Cancer flows (water), Capricorn is all about solid structure (earth). While both are a Cardinal signs that start seasons (new beginning) they build differently. One rides it out like a wave. The other requires stable ground. How have you been reflecting about your image? What is happening in the private and home life (Cancer), that is changing your outlook? How do you feel about your responsibilities and limitations? The opposition to Capricorn wants you to think whether the image we project to others matches our identity and behavior.

Full Moon in Capricorn opposite Sun in Cancer has me praying for Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), especially Mercury placements (communication/thought process)  this month. Capricorn will bring major revelations because Full Moon is all about illuminating what’s hidden in the dark. What events happened about 3 days before Jul 3rd? And watch for events that happen after Jul 3rd.

Themes of responsibility, commitment, & power may be felt. What’s revealed by the Full Moon will be in whichever house Capricorn sits in your chart. Things may get uncomfortable. Allow yourself to feel your emotions, all ranges. A new outlook is emerging. 

Where does Capricorn sit in your chart?

Aries rising; you have Capricorn in your 10H of reputation, career, long-term goals, and responsibilities.

Taurus rising; you have Capricorn in you 9H of travel, your philosophy, higher edu, interaction with law or religion, and international sharing

Gemini rising; you have Capricorn in 8H of birth and death, sex, the taboo, and wealth (inheritance or other people's money you control)

Cancer rising; you will have it in 7H of partnership; romance, business or platonic, think interpersonal, sharing, and contracts

Leo risings; you will have it in 6H of daily life, routine (work), habits (health and non health), and service

Virgo risings; you will have it in 5H of creativity, children, self-expression, romance, love affair (not necessarily cheating)

Scorpio rising; you will have it in your 3H of communication, mind/thinking, neighbors, social activity, childhood

Sagittarius rising; you will have it in your 2H of cash, income,(different from inheritance in 8H, material possession

Political Astrology: US Debt Ceiling

Post time: May 24th 6:26 PM PST

June 1st, is when the United States Treasury says it will essentially run out of money to pay all of its bills. The United States spends more money than it makes in tax revenue, which creates debt. Since January the Federal Government had reached the pre-allowed debt that Congress allowed in the budget. What is happening is that the government had been moving around since January in oder to pay debts and essentially continue operating the country.

Using the chart of the US Constitution, which gave filling to the country and Declaration of Independence. Additionally, the Constitution is being used since some have called for President Biden to use the 14th Amendment to settle this debt ceiling conflict. 

Sitting in the US Con 2H (cash/money, income, and tangible material possessions) is Admetos in Capricorn at 15°. Admetos is an Uranian astrology, trans-neptunian point, that presents similar to Taurus and the need for material security/stability, Admetos in Capricorn is thinking about its responsibilities, and how they can secure and maintain financial security (2H) @ 15° through trade (15° is a gemini degree=trade/communication) of tangible materials (admetos). 

However with the May 24th-25th transits, there is a separating Cupido in the US Con Admetos in the 2H. Cupido is rx in Capricorn at 6°. Cupido, another trans-neptunian point that is a mixture of Venus and Jupiter, dealing with partnerships, business, jobs/work. However, with this separation and Cupido at 6° (virgo degree), we may be looking at agreements (mercury rules virgo) diminishing (virgo makes smaller). Since we are talking about a country, and the 2H, we are looking at the potential of US cash/money (tangible materials) being minimized by agreements, or lack of. 

When we look at the dial, we can see more about the communication. On the dial, while observing midpoints, there is a direct midpoint at 6° (virgo degree) to transiting Cupido to US Conn natal (n) Jupiter/Neptune. What we get: Cupido (t)=Jupiter (n)/Neptune (n); signaling a scandal caused  through one’s own instability (or distrust) with others (Cupido). Currently, House Democrats, collectively, are willing and ready to raise the debt ceiling without condition. However, Republicans will not agree to raise the debt ceiling unless Demograts agree to the agenda of cutting social services. I think this instability will make the country’s relationships (Jupiter in 7H), and more so credibility (Neptune in 10H) diminish (6° = virgo). Zooming in, Neptune sits in the US’s 10H (reputation/careers), in Libra at 17°. Jupiter sits in the 7H in Gemini at 25°. With Neptune in Libra at 17° we are talking about a country that has attained a lot of power, and attention through leadership (17°= Leo degree of fame), from being diplomatic (libra). 

It is no surprise to anyone that the US has a lot of influence on global politics. With Jupiter sitting the 7H (partnerships including business), in Gemini at 25° we see the country initiating (25° = Aries degree) communication and trades (gemini) with others (7H). 

President Biden may take action himself or another man (transit Sun sits in the US Con 7H) with political influence cusp of 7H is 2° in Gemini (2°=extreme power/influence). Or a political figure may use this as an opportunity to exert power and influence (Sun in Gemini at 3°), through tech gadgets like phone (text or call), computer (email), or even social media being the bridge since Gemini rules communication. 

If we look ahead to the deadline: June 1st, 2023. In the transit chart for that day (not overlayed with US Con), there is a direct midpoint to Mercury in Taurus at 46°. What we get:Mercury (t)=Sun/Zeus; signaling a very serious, and public (Capricorn degree) communication (Mercury), that will lead to a desire to exert power in oder to obtain material (Taurus) security and stability for the country (Mercury in 9H). 

I am unsure if the House and Senate will come to a deal. As I look at the overlay of the deadline to the Constitution, I do not think they will reach a deal by the date. Saturn the planet of repsonsibilties, inhibition, restrictions, and separation. The transiting Saturn creates a direct midpoint with the US Con Kronos/Admetos. Saturn (t)=Kronos (n)/Admetos (n); signaling inhibitions by the government (Kronos=authority) from being able to protect financial (2H) structures (admetos). A legal conflict may arise as a result since the country has debt to pay Saturn (t)=Moon/Appollon. Look out for a female civil servant or official to say or do something.

Natal Observation: Mac Miller

Time writing 2:01 AM PST

Post time: 2:35 PM PST

Malcolm James McCormick “Mac Miller”

Born Jan 19, 1992

@ 8:46 AM EST

Pittsburgh, PA

Capricorn Sun @ 28°

Cancer Moon @ 24°

Aquarius Asc @ 18°

Mac has his moon in Cancer @ 24° in his 6H of health and service. Cancer (water sign) is ruled by the moon, and being in 24th° (Pisces-water sign), it’s clear that his emotions and feelings a will be of service to others and he will be well-liked (6H cusp @ 19 degrees=Libra degree). Millions of fans are captivated by the emotion in his lyrics. Being that both is moon and degree are in water signs, it’s interesting that much of his songs have water elements in both the music sounds and his lyrics invoke themes of fluidity.

One aspect to his moon is a trine with Pluto in Scorpio @ 22° signifying that serious (Capricorn rules 22°) outlook on life and his feelings. His Pluto sits in his 9H and in his songs he often discusses traveling both literally and metaphorically. Miller’s last album before he died was Swimming (water), and the album cover he appears to be sitting at the exit door of an airplane (9H rules long distance travel) in the sky. Much of his lyrics are diving into philosophical (Sagittarius rules 9H) questions and the listener can tell it’s coming from a longing desire ex the song Aquarium:

I'm just trying to make it all make sense

As you hypothesize on how to monetize, take advantage of

All the time we all behind, get lost in this Aquarium

America, the standard of vanity when the camera's up

We become celebrities, distract from the hysteria

Confessions that I have and curiosity about life and death

Most of us will never understand it, we just like the quest

Read about the meaning of dreaming and all its messages

Sedatives that take me to God, witness his fetishes

We all in search for substance, that gives you pain and numbness

The rapper is also known for singing about topics that some may find taboo (Pluto in Scorpio), like death, suicide, addiction, sex, loss, the meaning of life and so much more. The trine to Moon in Cancer show his vulnerability to discussing these topics.

In his 12H sits his Saturn in Aquarius @ 8° where the native is faced with challenges dealing self-control and responsibilities. Although in modern astrology, Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the rule breaking rebel. In traditional astrology, it’s ruled by Saturn, which is where the discipline and their sense of duty to help the collective comes from. Mac Miller takes life seriously, and thinks deeply about the cycles of life, especially endings.

Oftentimes tormented by his thoughts and feelings about the society around him. He feels as if he has to connect people, and help people from his inner/deep thoughts (Saturn in Aquarius 12H). Almost like he has the world on his shoulders causing external challenges (Saturn sesqui Kronos), and a responsibility to the people. The inner challenge comes from the semi-square with Venus in Sagittarius @ 22°. While his Venus likes and enjoys freedom, it can sometimes be irresponsible and pleasure seeking, but also lust for power and status (Venus in his 10H), which creates an internal conflict (semi-square to Saturn) for him. That internal conflict is the responsibility to the collective vs individual comfort and pleasure. In lyrics, Miller has discussed ways his celebrity status (10H rules careers/reputation) has changed him. In the song titled Ignorant, Miller sings about the materials (Venus) he’s been able to acquire with his money he amassed juxtaposed with his song titled Self-Care, where he sings about crashing an expensive car he bought and that he needs to be saved from himself. Additionally, in the song All That ft Bun B, Mac and Bun B rap about how everything he does (being a rapper) is deeper than being a celebrity, with status, fame, money or girls.

End of May into June Forecast

Post time: May 19, 2023 12:14 AM PST

As we settle with the energies from the eclipse. Major events in our geo political climate are about to unfold. 

As I write this Jupiter has just moved into Taurus where it will stay there till 2024. Taurus being the earth sign, represented by the Bull is forcing us to stay grounded in our path of expansion. Asking, how can we grow the collective? Taurus rules food, materials, and values. Around the world, the cost of food has increased. Jupiter, which rules philosophy and higher education, is asking us to question why? I also see the inflation growing more and causing a cost-of-living crisis for millions (Node in Taurus) in the country. The future is created by the people in the present.

On May 17th, 2023 we saw a Moon/Jupiter midpoint to Vulcanus at 32 degrees. What will transpire in the coming days is extreme emotion expressed around the country. Vulcanus acts as a “super Pluto.” Pluto is the sign of exorbitant amount of wealth. Another direct midpoint to Vulcanus is Pluto/Node, which is letting us know an event will be impacting a mass amount of people- a destiny- event that will cause a rippling effect on lives, and history. When observing the wheel, Vulcanus sits in the 12H in Leo at 2 degrees. Leo is a fixed sign that seeks consistency, somewhat stability or loyalty. Leo is also active, making me think about royalty, but more so high status and power, especially with the 2nd degree. People with extreme (Pluto) power (Vulcanus in Leo), will likely make a decision or take an action that will impact the collective (Node). As it sits in the 12H of endings and karmic cycles, subconscious or hidden thoughts/feelings (Vulcanus square Mercury). What’s hidden will be exploded out, and a new life almost birthed from the event forcing the collective to find stability in the midst of chaos. What steps can we take to protect one another? How can we build community?

A major opposition that will turn out to be a battle of the individual vs collective is Vulcanus in Leo opp. Pluto in Aquarius. Leo is ruled by the sun, being the center of the attention. While Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the rebel that is thinking of the collective. These opposing energies are making a square to Jupiter and the Node causing a fated action dealing with the economy to occur in the coming days. Leo also ruling gold, I see the price of gold rising to high value being at 2 degrees, especially with this square to Node, again impacting mass amount of people and having extreme power over them. Investors are likely to make rash decisions in the coming days that may result in global consequences, maybe recession in economies with Mercury/Mars=Vulcanus at 32 degrees. Mercury, currently in Taurus @ 6 degrees is asking us to be reflective, but be careful because it can lead to overthinking; anxiety and insecurity over material conditions (food, commodes are ruled by Taurus) can arise. Investors who have been obsessed with money, power, and material wealth may cause a crash as they obsess (Vulcanus), overthink (6th degree) about maintaining and controlling their wealth (Taurus). This is further presented with Pluto/Appollon=Vulcanus signifies individuals handling large amount of other people’s money, banking (Appollon in Scorpio), seeking power grab (Vulcanus in Leo) that leads them to losing millions (Appollon square Pluto).  They are testing loyalty to the system (Appollon in Scorpio @ 4 degrees).

The price of steel and iron may likely increase as well (Jupiter/Node=Vulcanus @ 32 degrees). American capitalism relies on two things to survive: consumerism and war. As rising inflation forces people to revaluate spending habits(Node trine Saturn in Pisces), their values (Node conj Jupiter in Taurus). Many people are making sacrifices, and choosing to ensure they have food and living essentials over commodities (Saturn in Pisces @ 6 degree=making smaller/minimizing), burden in a analytical way (6 degree is Virgo degree ruled by Mercury). This shift in values will make it harder for the US to rely on consumer shopping to keep the economy afloat, meaning they will turn to their next cash cow: war. However, I do not see a war breaking out, but more so contemplated "surprises" (Hades in Cancer @ 11 degrees) that will result in "divorce" or separation (11 degrees) that will decrease the authority's relationship (Hades in Cancer opp. Cupido in Capricorn @ 6 degrees)
