With the big winter storm going over the US east of the Rockies, I figure I should show everyone how to get the most accurate hourly forecast. That way you can take all the precautions you need
First! Go to the national weather service website, weather.gov
Next, put in your town or zip code
You'll come to a page that gives a good overview of a forecast. It'll tell you the daily and nightly forecast. To get an hourly forecast you'll want to press the link labeled that
This next page is gonna have a lot of information. Just condense your focus to which category you need if it's overwhelming, but this is all really good info
Temperature is the red line on top, wind-chill is the blue line on top, wind speed and direction is the second table, then rain potential, thunder potential, and snow potential.
Note: if you're looking for snow amounts, the blocks are for that time only
I really hope that helps. Keep yourself safe and keep an eye on forecasts!
The move is a sign that the public health agency may be falling in line under RFK Jr.
The move is a sign that the public health agency may be falling in line under RFK Jr.
Leaders at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ordered staff this week not to release their experts’ assessment that found the risk of catching measles is high in areas near outbreaks where vaccination rates are lagging, according to internal records reviewed by ProPublica.
In an aborted plan to roll out the news, the agency would have emphasized the importance of vaccinating people against the highly contagious and potentially deadly disease that has spread to 19 states, the records show.
A CDC spokesperson told ProPublica in a written statement that the agency decided against releasing the assessment “because it does not say anything that the public doesn’t already know.” She added that the CDC continues to recommend vaccines as “the best way to protect against measles.”
But what the nation’s top public health agency said next shows a shift in its long-standing messaging about vaccines, a sign that it may be falling in line under Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines:
“The decision to vaccinate is a personal one,” the statement said, echoing a line from a column Kennedy wrote for the Fox News website. “People should consult with their healthcare provider to understand their options to get a vaccine and should be informed about the potential risks and benefits associated with vaccines.”
ProPublica shared the new CDC statement about personal choice and risk with Jennifer Nuzzo, director of the Pandemic Center at Brown University School of Public Health. To her, the shift in messaging, and the squelching of this routine announcement, is alarming.

Saturn-Neptune conjunction
After a brief foray and retrograde, Neptune enters a 12-to-13-year transit through Aries for good on January 26th, with Saturn following on February 13th. With all the outer planets changing signs from where they started in 2020, there’s no going back. On the one hand, this exact conjunction is the culmination of Saturn and Neptune dancing around each other the past few years, but on the other hand this occurs early in their foray into a new sign; it’s both a climax and the beginning of a new chapter. This interaction has been giving us a “reality distortion field,” where deciding what is real or solid is difficult (think AI images and conspiracy theories). If enough people believe an illusion, does it become true? Walls and barriers fall, usually shockingly fast. If something crumbles at a slight bump, how stable was it? Chris uses the example of a cardboard box: they can ship around the world and stay intact, but will fall apart in water.
This is a recurrence transit for anyone born during previous recent Saturn-Neptune conjunctions: 1989-90 in Capricorn and 1953 in Libra. Chris has found that even a loose, 10-degree natal conjunction will manifest in major life events when those planets conjoin exactly while transiting. Saturn-Neptune conjunctions see the formation of religious groups and social movements attempting to bring Saturnian structure to Neptunian ideals.
The last time Neptune entered Aries was the Civil War in the US–having not seen major conflict for a generation, many Americans romanticized the idea of war before rapid technological developments made the conflict so ugly that the government introduced drafting to fill the ranks. Neptune dreamed compassionately in Pisces, but dreams of heroic warriors’ sacrifice in hyper-individualistic Aries. The mainstreaming of hypermasculine manosphere content, and endurance tests like Mr. Beast’s “challenges” are also linked; our hosts connect this to the two-year trek of Saturn through Aries. Contrasts between moving fast and moving slow, old and young, and inappropriate leaders–think toddler emperors or Bill Clinton’s scandalous second term (which was under Saturn in Aries). With Neptune involved, both real and imagined conspiracies abound–previous Saturn-Neptune conjunctions include the Satanic Panic of the 80s and the Red Scare in the 50s. How deep does the rabbithole go?
Eclipse Season 1: February 9th - March 11th
This is our first eclipse in Aquarius, opening a new Leo-Aquarius story for the next couple years. Ruled by Saturn and coinciding with his conjunction to Neptune, this eclipse will magnify Neptune-Saturn-Aries concerns. It’ll also shine a bright light on Pluto in Aquarius, which corresponds to the explosion of AI integration. We’ll probably soon reach the threshold where you can’t tell when something is machine-generated anymore. The debates over this technology will similarly intensify. Social inequality and labor disputes like the automating away of entry-level jobs and growing wealth gaps will come to the forefront (the last Pluto in Aquarius period was the French Revolution).
Uranus in Gemini
After a brief foray and return to Taurus this year, Uranus enters Gemini for good in April and will stay there until 2032-33. Previous Uranus in Gemini periods include the US entry into WW2, its Civil War, and the war for its founding. The liberal democracy and other Enlightenment theories the US is based on were first formed during the previous Uranus in Gemini period, making this a theme that recurs with every return. Uranus in Gemini will be a very dramatic refresh and reassessment these ideas. (For example, while the US entered WW2 to stop the fascist imperialism of the Axis powers, FDR also signed the order to inter Japanese Americans in camps.)
Mars will conjoin Uranus on July 4th, the first of four during this Uranus transit. It’s a very combustible and violent combination, not just politically but also in the form of freak accidents. For example, the US a-bombed Hiroshima & Nagasaki in an act of massive destruction and began the Atomic Age under Mars-Uranus in Gemini, and indeed nuclear weapons may resurface as a significant concern. More broadly keywords include: rebellion, revolt, secession, separation, rapid technological advancement & deployment. Our hosts talk about military technology and predict an increase of drone warfare, and I posit that AI usage in warfare will increase exponentially across every aspect.
In other technologies, automated translation is advancing very quickly. Like the Internet, this may be part of diversifying culture from previously narrow mainstreams. We will also see a transportation revolution: Chris really thinks self-driving cars, drone taxis, and electric vehicles will increase. I hope that we get more trains.
Jupiter in Cancer
He’ll be exalted in Cancer for half this year and will move into Leo in June. Austin describes one of Jupiter’s strengths as “holding things together” and points out that Jupiter was in Cancer at the signing of the declaration of independence. Generally Jupiter will bring resilience and helps us bounce back in the Cancer areas of our charts for the next six months. We'll be making big moves in silence and caring for others (ex. Affordable Care Act in US). This will peak when Venus conjoins Jupiter in early June. Chris predicts a big celebrity wedding will happen, namely Taylor Swift since he's connected Venus-Jupiter transits to her current relationship.
Jupiter will be in Leo for the second half of the year. Though he's not in rulership or exaltation here, Leo Jupiter is a warm, encouraging, theatrical, radiant and buoyant energy in encouraging our endeavors. This is where believing in yourself and pure force of will are actually effective. We don't quite get the pure, unadulterated version of this though--he immediately opposes Pluto upon entry and then there is an eclipse in Leo, followed by Mars retrograde partially in this sign.
Eclipse Season 2: August 5th - September 4th
"Eclipse season" refers to the way eclipses effects are felt most intensely for about a week on either side of the event itself, and since they come in pairs, that makes the turbulent time last about a month. This marks the middle of eclipses shifting from events on the Virgo-Pisces axis to those on the Leo-Aquarius axis. We'll see big chapters begin to close up in our Virgo-Pisces houses and the beginning of a new chapter in the Leo-Aquarius sectors of our charts.
Pluto casts a shadow from Aquarius over all these Leo events, bringing in themes of power plays, secrets, and developments in AI and society. The Pisces eclipse chapters close as we go without a major planet in Pisces since 2003 (Uranus ingress).
Venus Retrograde
Venus retrograde lasts about 40 days and 40 nights. With a retrograde spanning two signs, you can also see this as an extended transit of Venus through Libra and Scorpio. Venus retrograde keywords include revisiting the past to either take things back or toss them away. The relational and emotional questions raised have a lot of weight, especially when going back and forth between her places of domicile and exile. Venus in Scorpio retrogrades occur in autumn about every 8 years: 2026, 2018, 2010, 2002, 1994, 1986, 1978, 1970, 1962, 1954, 1946, 1938, 1930, 1922, 1914, and 1906. Events from dramatic last quarters of these years may recur. Unfortunately this Venus retrograde starts with rough aspects to Pluto and Mars, plus there's a Mercury retrograde nestled inside, so it will not be as pleasant as the Leo one a few years ago. Less unorthodox fun and more trials that make us learn and grow.
The Babylonian myth of Inanna in the underworld was likely based on Venus retrograde and describes this one particularly well: after being stripped of power descending into the underworld and hanging on a meat hook, we'll find ourselves revived and taking back our thrones with more power than before, having defeated death. In less symbolic language, we'll see dramatic crashouts at the beginning of this retrograde and alliances we take for granted shaking up. However, it is front-loaded, and the latter half will ease up a little. We can also see traditional aesthetic and relationship norms being challenged, which can benefit us as we find beauty in unusual things and break from restrictive norms.
Mars Retrograde Buildup
If we see the retrograde as part of an extended transit through Leo and Virgo, this begins in September of 2025 until July of 2027. Think about what Mars has brought to Leo in your chart recently, because it won't be something we can ignore. Mars will be in Leo with Jupiter and after an eclipse, going from affirmation to major changes to irritation and dispute. Jupiter-Mars is very confident, but not necessarily peaceful. With the South Node hanging around, late Leo is very volatile (and it's the Ascendant of both the current president and vice president of the US). This is a mirror of ~2017, when the North Node was in Leo. Like all retrogrades, things will take awhile (think Mercury retrograde 3-times rule over a longer period of time), heat, irritation, and inflammation.
In a positive light, this can see people standing up for themselves even if it's difficult and cutting out toxic people. This is also a good time to assess what your challenges are in life now, not what they were, and preparing for those challenges. We've also seen military fiascos like the Bay of Pigs, taking the axe to structures or agencies without discernment, civil unrest and rebellion. The middle of Mars retrogrades involve him being closest to earth and brightest in the sky, and there's a risk of Martial matters boiling over uncontrollably. Mars retrogrades in late Leo & early Virgo every 79 years: 1947-48, 1868-69, and 1789-90.
Monthly Breakdown
January: Big Moves in Silence
Highlights of the month:
January 9th - Sun-Venus-Mars Triple Conjunction (♑)
January 10th - Mars (♑) opposite Jupiter (♋)
January 18th - Mercury-Mars conjunction (♑)
January 26th - Neptune enters Aries
January 27th - Mars-Pluto conjunction (♒)
January 29th - Venus-Mercury conjunction (♒)
Venus and Mars are so close to the Sun they're invisible, with Mercury joining later in the month. A lot of quiet but very consequential things are happening, and from about the 19th-27th Aquarius planets will conjoin Pluto; there's a lot going on behind the scenes. The Venus-Mars conjunction in particular marks scandals around gender and sexuality, e.g. the Epstein files, though some developments may happen in the shadows in January and come to public light later.
February
February 3rd - Uranus stations direct (♉)
February 13th - Saturn enters Aries
February 17th - Solar eclipse in Aquarius
February 20th - Saturn-Neptune conjunction (♈)
February 22nd - Venus (♓) trine Jupiter (♋)
February 25th - Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces
February 27th - Mars(♒)-Uranus(♉) square, Mercury conjunct Venus (♓)
While the Saturn-Neptune conjunction is the highlight of the month, the solar eclipse in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus. Venus and Jupiter will encourage us a little, but the Mars-Uranus square signals explosions and eruptions. The year is off to a loud and jagged start, but exalted Venus will give us some sweetness in another area (especially with the mutual reception in her trine with Jupiter). This is also important as the bold and loud ending of our Uranus in Taurus story begun in 2018, both as changes in our personal charts and in world events. It's shocking with a side order of delicacies!
March
March 3rd - Lunar eclipse in Virgo
March 17th - Mercury (rx) conjunct Mars (♓)
March 10th - Jupiter stations direct (♋)
The lunar eclipse opposes its ruler Mercury, who's struggling in fall, retrograde, and conjunct a freshly ingressed Mars. This makes Mercury's retrograde especially destructive, especially as they conjoin Mars halfway through it (though Mercury-Mars natives may experience major life events more constructively). However, Jupiter's station in his exaltation of Cancer is very powerful to help us. Austin describes it as "lost at sea and surrounded by sharks, but miraculously survives." Jupiter's doing maximum work for us.
April
April 9th - Mars enters Aries
April 12th - Mars conjunct Neptune
April 13th - Venus-Jupiter sextile
April 16th - Mercury-Neptune conjunction (♓)
April 19th - Mars-Saturn conjunction (♈)
April 20th - Mercury joins Mars-Saturn (♈)
April 25th - Uranus enters Gemini
The Mars-Saturn conjunction is the focal point of this entire month, and the Uranus ingress is another seismic shift. We still have side dishes of benefic distractions while monumental world events occur around us. Mars and Mercury will reactivate the Saturn-Neptune conjunction from February. In 1917 Mars joining Neptune & Saturn in the sign of Leo saw the October Revolution, ensuing Russian Civil War and eventual founding of the USSR. Mars-Saturn is also associated with plagues and pestilence, and proved this well during the COVID lockdowns of 2020~2023. Chris predicts some amount of military confusion with Mars and Neptune here. This looks more like attacks and battles than it does plagues, but in any cause confusion and deception may prove lethal in world events. Then Uranus moves back into Gemini for good (until 2032-33). Major chapters will shift in both world events and our personal lives; July to early November of 2025 were a preview of what Uranus in Gemini holds for us.
May
May 4th - Mars-Jupiter square
May 6th - Pluto retrograde in Aquarius
May 18th - Venus enters Cancer
May 22nd - Sun-Uranus conjunction in Gemini
May 25th - Mars square Pluto
The 16th-17th-18th is a turning point with a new Moon, Mercury entering Gemini, and Mars in Taurus & Venus in Cancer all around the same time. This fives us a bit of a break from intense Mars-Saturn-Neptune in Aries and gives us the beginning of Jupiter in Cancer. This leads us into early June, the nicest part of the year. However, we first must get past Mars square retrograde Pluto, where we see the dark side of technology especially in warfare.
June
June 9th - Venus -Jupiter conjunction (♋)
June 28th - Mars enters Gemini
June 29th - Mercury retrograde in Cancer, Jupiter enters Leo
Mars is clear of outer planet struggles for the time being, Venus is getting close to Jupiter with Mercury hanging out, and while Saturn is being a bit of a downer, overall we are nicely supported. Affirmation of romantic relationships and reconciliation are in order. The beginning of the month is the most pastoral time of year, though the very end is a sharp crank in another direction. Mercury screeches backwards right before conjoining Jupiter, who goes into Leo, while Mars starts gearing up for his retrograde next year.
July
July 4th - Mars-Uranus conjunction
July 7th - Neptune rx
July 17th - Uranus-Puto trine
July 20th - Jupiter opposite Pluto, trine Neptune
July 23rd - Mercury direct in Cancer
July 26th - Saturn rx, North Node enters Aquarius
July 29th - Sun-Jupiter conjunction in Leo
This is one of the busiest and most active months of the year. With Jupiter, Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune all at 4 degrees of their signs from the 19th to the 23rd, then the Sun hits 4 Leo on the 27th, and a Full Moon at 6 Aquarius lights this all up. Lots of explosions and noise all month. Mars and Uranus are copresent in Gemini, an event where many things happen at once. Mars-Uranus conjunctions in Taurus that may represent the buildup to this:
January 6th, 2020: Biden's inauguration & ensuing insurrection,
2022: FBI raid on Trump's house in Mar-a-Lago, Pelosi visits Taiwan & sours US-China relations,
July 2024: assassination attempt on Trump in Pennsylvania, RNC nominates Trump & he picks Vance as runningmate, FBI case dismissed, Biden drops out of race.
July 2026 is the next installment of these events--this configuration is the most telling for the United States this year. In the Civil War, Fort Sumter started on a Mars-Uranus conjunction in Gemini, so a major turning point is in order. We will get 4 total conjunctions of this nature: July 4, 2026 at 3°, June 23, 2028 at 11°, June 15th, 2030 at 19°, and June 6th, 2032 at 26°.
Uranus is also aspecting many other planets this month; the explosion has plenty of fuel and plenty of places to go. The first Uranus-Pluto trine this year will rapidly accelerate the pace of technological developments, Chris guessing maybe in AI (and I'll add AI-powered warfare). Jupiter and Neptune are also supporting this fast, fiery race forward.
Saturn Neptune is also quite activated this month. The key times are: initial conjunction in February, Neptune's station in July, and another station in December. We'll be reminded of the reality distortion field before these planets begin to separate.
August
August 6th - Venus enters Libra
August 12th - Leo solar eclipse
August 17th - Jupiter-Venus sextile
August 27th - Lunar eclipse in Pisces
August 31st - Venus enters pre-rx shadow (22♎), Jupiter-Saturn trine
Venus will be retrograding in Libra (and Scorpio), so her ingress this month marks the beginning of an extended transit. Mars also ingresses into Cancer this month, squaring Saturn who's also in fall in Aries, putting irritation in the background. Leo eclipses especially see prominent leaders rise and fall. Coming out of nowhere and falling into obscurity both happen, and Jupiter in Leo magnifies this instability. The seeds of important things are planted at eclipses, but our vision is obscured and we usually won't see where things are going until after the fact.
What's interesting about this eclipse cycle changing over from Virgo-Pisces to Leo-Aquarius is that we've only had one solar eclipse, in Virgo in September 2025.
September
September 1st - Mars-Saturn square goes exact
September 10th - Uranus rx in Gemini, Venus enters Scorpio
September 27th - Mars enters Leo
Mars-Saturn peaking at the beginning of the month is unpleasant, but it'll fade as time goes on. Uranus in Gemini will echo events from the first foray last year, such as the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the sudden censorship exacted on anyone criticizing the right wing's newest martyr. Venus entering Scorpio will remind us unequivocally that we have some things to sort out. By the end of the month Mars has entered the point from which he will retrograde, which also puts him copresent with Jupiter and the South Node.
October
October 3rd - Venus retrograde
October 24th - Mercury retrograde
October 25th - Venus regresses to Libra
Venus retrograde is tied up with a lot of other difficult aspects: her station squares Mars, who opposes Pluto, making a difficult T-square. This is more of a rough trip down memory lane. Mercury makes the same squares to Pluto and Mars before Venus, stationing in Scorpio soon after the benefic. The Mars-Pluto opposition last year showed the death & funeral of the Catholic Pope. The opening of this retrograde is gonna be rough, even for night charts who tend to experience Venus transits more constructively. Things will loosen up with Venus in Libra, which takes her out of range of Mars and puts her in domicile. We also see our third and final Mercury retrograde of the year, with both planets helping us as the station direct together on November 13th.
November
November 13th - Venus and Mercury station direct
November 15th - Mars-Jupiter-Ketu conjunction
November 26th - Mars enters Virgo, Uranus trine Pluto
Venus makes multiple sextiles to Jupiter from her vantage point in Libra, cushioning us a little. Mars, Jupiter, and Ketu (South Node) will conjoin at 25 Leo, giving us a huge surge of confidence getting rid of something or a martial problem with mysterious origins. This is a good configuration for military leaders, and anyone with Mars-Jupiter conjunctions, especially with the North Node or in Leo, it will be a significant activation for you. Jupiter can also magnify Mars's explosive tendencies, and an opening of a sequence because we'll revisit this configuration during the retrograde. Assassinations also occur with Mars-Ketu: Franz Ferdinand, for example. Mars-Jupiter is big, bold, and flashy.
Pluto and Uranus trining each other from Aquarius and Gemini respectively should show us some major technological development. Mars squares Uranus after his ingress into Virgo, an aspect that follows us into December.
December
December 4th - Mars (3♍) - Uranus (3♊) square
December 10th - Saturn direct
December 12th - Neptune direct
December 15th - Venus exits her post-rx shadow
Both the Civil War and WW2 had a Mars-Uranus conjunction during Uranus in Gemini, but for us this is the first of 3 squares, the next being February 2027 during the last eclipse in early Virgo. Thus all the Mars pre-retrograde shadow activity is building up to this climax in early in 2027. Overall 2026 ends with things about to heat up to something massive and recurring. Saturn and Neptune also activate their conjunction for the last time, stationing 6 degrees apart. What is true vs. false, real vs. illusion, digitally altered versus handmade? Illusions, moral panics, and idealistic pursuits are all on the table. Venus clears her retrograde degrees and gets ready to leave it for good into Sagittarius in 2027, meanwhile Mars is set to get loud and chaotic in the new year.
Venus retrograde could signal a breakdown of diplomatic relations, though at the end/after her retrograde there are some helpful sextiles that may restore some things here and there despite the chaos from Mars. There are helpers, healers, and silver linings during these difficult times. Jupiter is also trying to bring some help to our Leo houses, but the story is more complicated than it appears at first since it'll recur later.
Things look difficult, but sometimes difficult moments are times when people step up to do what's necessary. We can see truly good acts of heroism under Neptune in Aries, and rise to occasion in ways we didn't know we could. We can struggle for freedom and liberation.
full moon in sagittarius: the truth is getting loud
the full moon in sagittarius arrives on may 31, 2026 at 1:44 am pt, and this one has big “so are we done pretending or…?” energy.
we have the moon at 9° sagittarius opposite the sun at 9° gemini, which means the gemini/sagittarius axis is fully activated.
gemini wants the facts.
sagittarius wants the meaning.
gemini gathers the screenshots, texts, receipts, random notes app spirals, half-finished drafts, side conversations, and that one thought you had while brushing your teeth.
sagittarius takes all of that and says, “cool, but what does this actually mean for my life?”
so this full moon is asking us to zoom out.
not because the details don’t matter. they do. but details without meaning become noise. and meaning without details becomes delusion in a fabulous hat.
we need both.
but because this is a full moon in sagittarius, the emotional climax is leaning toward the bigger truth. the thing we can’t unknow. the belief we can’t un-believe. the direction we can’t keep avoiding.
for the chart cast in long beach, this full moon has pisces rising, which puts the sun in gemini in the 4th house and the moon in sagittarius in the 10th house.
that gives us a big private life vs public direction theme.
the 4th house is home, family, roots, memory, ancestry, emotional foundations, and what happens behind closed doors.
the 10th house is career, reputation, visibility, public role, life direction, and the version of us the world can actually see.
so the question becomes:
what private truth is ready to shape your public life?
not every private thing needs to become public. please do not turn every diary entry into a press release. the moon may be full, but discernment still exists.
but some truths cannot stay tucked away forever.
some memories become wisdom.
some lived experiences become art.
some survival stories become teachings.
some private desires become public choices.
this full moon may show us where our outer life is no longer matching our inner truth.
basically, the home self and the public self need to have a meeting. preferably with snacks.
the saving grace here is jupiter in cancer.
the sagittarius moon is ruled by jupiter, and jupiter is exalted in cancer, which softens the whole thing. sagittarius can be blunt, dramatic, restless, and occasionally ready to deliver a ted talk nobody asked for. but jupiter in cancer says the point of the truth is not destruction.
the point is protection. nourishment. belonging. emotional restoration.
this is truth that wants to protect something tender.
and then we also have venus in cancer in the 5th house, where venus finds her joy. so the 5th house is one of the biggest blessings in this chart.
the medicine is not just discipline.
the medicine is not just responsibility.
the medicine is not just “get your life together.”
the medicine is joy.
the 5th house rules pleasure, romance, creativity, children, music, art, performance, play, celebration, and the sweetness that reminds us life is not only something to survive.
with venus in her joy and jupiter exalted in cancer, this full moon says:
your joy is not a distraction from your path. your joy is part of the path.
make the art. write the thing. dance in your room. post the weird pretty idea. flirt with life again. let something be beautiful without immediately asking if it is productive enough.
that said, saturn is also very much in the room with a clipboard.
the sun sextiles saturn and the moon trines saturn, so this full moon is not just chaotic emotional truth confetti. it has structure available.
saturn in aries is in the 2nd house of the long beach chart, bringing focus to money, survival, self-worth, resources, pricing, food, income, and stability.
so this moon is asking:
what is true?
but also:
what structure would make that truth sustainable?
the dream needs a budget.
the offering needs a price.
the relationship needs a boundary.
the creative project needs a schedule.
the public path needs a private foundation.
very cute. very practical. very “the accountant has entered the rave.”
mercury in gemini is also square neptune, so please check the facts before preaching the sermon.
this is beautiful for poetry, intuition, dreams, art, and spiritual downloads. less amazing for logistics, contracts, vague promises, and people saying pretty things without saying anything concrete.
ask clarifying questions. confirm the details. read the fine print. screenshot the plan. do not build a castle out of one emotionally charged sentence from someone who may not even know what they mean yet.
mars in taurus in the 3rd house also makes communication a little stubborn. texts, posts, conversations, sibling stuff, neighbor stuff, car/errand stuff, and daily mental loops may feel loaded.
one tiny message may carry a giant emotional backstory.
try not to let one text become a psychological horror franchise.
write it out before sending it. take a walk before replying. do not argue with people who are committed to misunderstanding you.
and then we have lilith in sagittarius near the midheaven, which is spicy.
lilith in the 10th does not want to be controlled, sanitized, or made more digestible. in sagittarius, she is wild truth. taboo wisdom. public honesty. the part of us that says, “i am not shrinking my knowing just because it makes the room uncomfortable.”
the shadow is self-righteousness or shock value.
the gift is liberation.
sometimes becoming visible reveals who was attached to your invisibility.
that does not mean you have to burn everything down.
but it may mean you need to stop apologizing for having a real voice.
so the main message of this full moon?
claim the story.
build the container.
let the wild honest thing have a microphone.
this sagittarius full moon is a truth flare. but because venus and jupiter are in cancer, the truth does not have to be cold.
it can be tender.
it can be creative.
it can be funny.
it can be romantic.
it can be sung, written, danced, painted, posted, whispered, prayed, or turned into a carousel with suspiciously good font choices.
