Hey, how are you? Hope you're really well. We are in Aquarius season. I want to talk a little bit about the constellation of Aquarius because it holds. A lot of intel about what this season is and how we can utilize it. I want to talk about Neptune moving into Aries, which is happening the day this comes out. It's Monday that when you're listening to this, probably that Neptune is moving into Aries. This is the first big. Mover and shaker of the year. So it's worth discussing. And I also wanna touch on my own journey with astrology and how I came to this. You probably know, I have opened the doors to astrology school and so many legends have already. Signed up, which is really exciting. I knew it was gonna be an amazing abundant round, and it just could feel that. And to see that already taking shape is so exciting. There's so many, big dogs in this round and yeah, it's just so exciting that this is something that more and more people are wanting to really learn. And immerse themselves in versus, pick up anecdotally here and there. But for me personally. I would class myself as being like a highly, highly sensitive person. Um, I have Neptune, sorry, I have, well, I have Neptune in the third house. I have my moon in the 12th house. They're two very strong signifiers of that. There's quite a number of them, which I teach in astrology school. But essentially it's like for those of us who have learned how to read the room first. How do we take that ability and craft it into a skill? And for me, and really the vast majority of people that I read for, it makes sense, it's whatever our juice is, whatever our storyline is, and what we've been initiated through is very often what we then hold space for in others and aid others in. So it makes sense that the vast, vast majority of, my clients and students, also come from that space where they've really deeply learned how to read the space first. And when you see other people deeply and had that early training, what you may not have had was the experience of being seen deeply by others. I was in my Saturn return of course, and I had just gotten off the last Australian tour I did. I was playing in an American band at the time and I had toured with two American bands, and lo and behold, fell for the very charismatic, excellent guitar. God. In the other band who was the lead singer, and they went back home to LA and I was at a crossroads. And I had my first reading, astrology reading, and immediately I was like. I need to learn this language. I had never been seen and understood and had all parts of me, verbalized and, and, like that before ever. It was an incredible experience and it's, it's the main feedback that I get when I read for people, which just makes me so happy. It's like. It really is this experience of like, oh, I am me. And when we, when we are really good at reading the room and we learn how to do that first, we're often very starkly initiated into, the necessity of. Anchoring into ourselves and being like, Hey, how do I feel in this situation? What are my wants, needs and desires? It's far more obvious and easy for me to perceive that in others than to verbalize that myself. And I was, this was very much me. On one hand, I was logical, pretty good at pattern recognition. You know, and as a Gemini, I liked like. Reason and logic and learning and all these kind of things, but there was this other part of me that was very emotional, very emotionally attuned, energetically attuned and intuitive. And I'd always had both sides of that reflected back to me. But the idea of me, you know, I'd had psychic say, when I was a teenager and in my twenties, like, you know, you could do what I'm doing, but. Being logical at the same time and or being very cerebral. I was like, I just, I don't see how that would be the case. But then I have this experience of being read, being seen as somebody who is a natural reader, to have someone read me, you know, which I know a lot of you are the same. Your readers of people, was really exquisite. And so I immediately was like, okay, well I've gotta learn this language. And my dad, I told my dad that and he's like, maybe you could do that as a job. I found a school, I went to school, and I just, I lapped it up. It took a long time for me to develop the realization, and the accompanying self-worth. To pursue this as a career, but that's a whole other story. What I loved about this is that as someone who is very intuitive but is also very cerebral, the language engaged my mind and what I have developed over time as somebody who has always had the ability to read people, learning astrology, refined that and made it a skill. It also allowed me to create very natural boundaries because suddenly I was learning how to understand and read myself, and that was the juice. But yeah, it's like my mind is occupied with the language. And then what I noticed is my intuitive ability stepped forward more and more. I wanted to say that, you know, it's like, for those of you who are thinking of joining, there's so much that comes from seeing yourself through a language that is objective, it's neutral, and really getting to understand all these different parts of yourselves is, I mean, it just deserves you for life. Not to mention there's so many applications of understanding this language, relationally with children, with work colleagues, with friends, with your own self, understanding. So yeah, it's open for another two weeks, and then we get started with classes. On the 19th and the 21st of Feb. I always have two classes a week. You only go to one. It's just to, accommodate all the different time zones.'cause it is a very international school. So I was rereading the story of Aquarius and it's pretty wild. Gade was a prince. Of some Greek king, the most beautiful physical specimen in Greece. And of course Zeus, the great pervert, really, viewed Sorg gade and basically, I mean, I would say kidnapped him. Uh, and I don't know how OMI felt about it. He was made immortal and his job was to serve, be a cut bearer and to serve drinks to the gods, to serve them nectar. And what I found really interesting about Aquarius is, well, in the story of the constellation, Zeus either sent down, his eagle, I can't remember the name of his eagle right now. Or he took the form of his eagle, which was one of the forms that he took a lot, and Omi went with him on this eagle and what's interesting here is when I think of Aquarius and Uranus, it's ruler, I think of eagle eyed vision. I think of perceiving. Experiences, reality, the self consciousness, humanity, you know, these like larger realm things, topographically from a completely different vantage point than we do when we are on the ground in our lives here. It's like we're bi locating and we have a topographical viewpoint this is an incredible point of view up here. You know, if you are up in a plane, or you're in your eagle form, that's pattern recognition obvious from that space. It's one of the gifts of the sign of Aquarius and it's rule Uranus, depending on where that is in your chart. So the other thing he's often referred to as the water bearer. Astrologically, that's not water that is in his cup. It's consciousness. It's streams of consciousness. And when we're moving through the realm of Aquarius, our cerebral faculties are heightened. This is where we get these, you know, it makes me think of Zeus again, but these flashes of lightning, these flashes of insight that we're, able to see a pattern that we're holding, we're able to see something from a vantage point, receive an insight that has codes of liberation in it. It's very different from a scorpion insight that might require emotion or, or. Like shadow work, you know, going into the depths of the psyche here in Aquarius, it's like, poof, there's, here's the insight, and I'm sure you've all had those experiences when it's hard. This is hard to articulate, but when I have those insights, I feel like I've just made space in my psyche. I feel like I've just expanded the fields of my mind or my consciousness. It's bigger than mind. So one way that I would utilize this energy, or one way that I do, and you may find of interest, we've been through Capricorn, we've contemplated, okay, these are the maps, these are the architectural blueprints. Now view that from 10 kilometers up in the sky. What would be juicy for you to view from a completely different vantage point? It's interesting actually, that just a couple of days ago, the sun was on Pluto, which is that, is it three or four degrees of Aquarius? It's been there since November 20, 24 and something that I saw, you know, Pluto is power moving through Aquarius over a long time. It's really looking at things like privacy in the digital age. Absolutely looking at personal sovereignty, sovereignty in the realm of ai. It's looking at power hierarchies always. There was, some kind of conference where our quote, quote unquote, world leaders were gathered at and there was one prime minister, I think it was the Canadian guy. I listened to his speech and it was very interesting. It was so, the sun illuminating power dynamics, collective power dynamics, on the day that he gave this talk, like you can't write the script of how astrology plays out. And he was talking about Canada being a middle sized power and really reorienting, the hegemonies of power by suggesting that more of these middle power countries form allyships, versus the big three, big four, maybe really big one. But, you know, dictating and calling all of the shots. And I thought, wow, that's just, it's just unbelievable timing. It was a power move and it was a powerful move. It was reorienting the way that power is dispersed globally. You know, this is the time for us to be brainstorming as individuals, but collectively as well. Like, what is the future? What do we want it to be? And something that we're, that is very prominent, especially from July this year until March, 2028, will be this access of individuation. I'll speak about it a lot. And we are, we're actually gonna get our first taste test of that in over a week. When we have the Full Moon in Leo, it will be on Monday, the 2nd of February. That's gonna be a real taste test, the Full Moon of Leo in terms of what our personal work may be around this.'cause, you know, to my way of thinking, the more that we are vital alive. Bringing our energy and light in through us, into the world, doing the things that make us feel alive. We build incredible and very dynamic and nuanced communities and collectives. This isn't about all dressing the same, doing the same task, et cetera. It's embracing our uniqueness and making a very stunning, collective tapestry as a byproduct. I will speak about that next Monday because we'll be in that new moon phase, from Monday until mid Thursday. That's Aussie time. So just accordingly, but you know, you might just want to keep an eye out for that. As we move into this coming weekend, what's coming up that, you know, it's, it's a full moon in Leo. It's going to be looking at things like. The unconscious expressions of Leo, which is what we're gonna get schooled in, from late July this year, onwards for over 18 months, which I'm very excited about. This is where I fit in at the expense of belonging, even with within ourselves, within our own personality structures, but certainly socially, certainly out in the world. It's self-censorship. What I do wanna say though is yeah, this week we begin Neptune into Aries. That's interesting. You know, one, one expression of this is absolutely delusional action. We have sat in joining Neptune on the 13th of February, and I like that personally because. Satin brings temperance. Satin brings the long range, the long game practical energy. Whereas if it's just Neptune in areas floating around by itself, it's making moves that might be, look, there's good delusional and there's delusional. Delusional, isn't there? I have, I have a, a, a steady dose of. That energy and it's served me well, and it's also not served me in other instances, but what I would just suggest to all of you is there's been a lot of visioning and feeling into what, what comes next? Where am I wanting to put my energy? And once that is, has now moved into Aries, there is that desire, that impetus, that fire to make moves based on the vision, based on the feeling. And what I would just say, be in the, in this two week period before satin rolls in, just be clear on what your intentions are. Aries can shoot from the hip. Aries can burn up so bright and fast that it can't play the long game at all. It starts and stops. It can be incredibly ineffective. Sutton's gonna aid us in mastering this, all of us, over the next while I'll talk about it when Sutton moves there, but. There is this it that you'll feel more of this forward momentum action energy this week. And again, I just want to say be clear on what your intentions are. Be clear on what the why is. Intentionality is always important. The intentional, conscious use of your willpower is always important. It's going to be unbelievably important this year. To me, like I've been saying, the fire horse is very much linked to Aries, and I'll speak more about that as we get closer. But as we're in this final, just under three week period of the snake, that releasing process, that morphing that, feeling like beginning to feel more comfy in the newer skin is still playing out. Like I'm, I'm really noticing that a lot in my own life, just in terms of, ideas, companies, people, that I've been like, yeah, I love them. I love what they're saying. Right? Like, there's so many people where I'm like, nah, I don't want to, I don't wanna hear what they have to say. That's done. I, I just feel like there's a lot of that energy in my life right now, where it's like, no, it, that's done moving on. Not personal relationships, but very much in terms of yeah, ideas and, and, and companies. And like, to give you a mundane example, even on Substack, just following these people and being like, oh God, I can't. There's no way I can read another trite chat. GPT formed, piece of writing. You know, it's so lame. Why am I putting my money towards this and my attention? So I'm not sure if you guys are feeling that, but like utilize this time. Quite often as we get closer to a shift, the energy that we're in can heighten. At least that's how it feels. I don't necessarily have logical equations to back that up, but that's my feeling sense of things, and I feel it ramping up with Snake Boy, and I'm just, I'm embracing it. I'm so into it. I hope you have a great week. And I hope this has been helpful in some way. I'll see you next week, but yeah, as you enter the weekend, really just notice'cause it's a full moon. Sometimes it's those days before where it starts to reveal itself. Just notice if there's anywhere where you are not saying the thing or not expressing yourself in a way that feels like it's genuine to you to do that. I'll see you next Monday.
