To book in for a chart reading and a deep experience into self-understanding through the lens of astrology, head here. You can follow me on IG over here.
Hey, how are you? Hope you are fantastic. Uh, lots I wanna touch on today. I've just written some pointers so I don't deviate too far off track. There's a lot of astrology. Um, this is one of the main periods of the year where there's just. So much that's taking place. And I think we can all, a lot of us can probably sense that and feel that, not that it's necessarily, ah, there must be something happening astrologically. I mean in terms of there's a lot that's playing out through life on earth right now and when that is the case. Certainly in a, in a person's personal life, there's often some strong transits taking place. And when that's happening collectively, there's often strong collective transits that are taking place. And so we're right in this now, and we're here for couple more weeks, uh, because I think that when we have that partial solar eclipse in Aquarius on. The 17th of Feb, which is next Tuesday, my time. Uh, we, we will have a week or two after that of settling in, uh, and, and also certainly with the big move of Neptune, which moved into Aries on the 26th of Jan, followed by satin moving into Aries this Saturday. Uh, for Valentine's Day, uh, which I kinda love'cause something that I've been sensing a lot, uh, in, in different charts, uh, and maybe as a relational theme for particular people. Aries has a lot to do with. I want this. And now all of my, all of that warrior energy, all of my attention, all of my abilities are trained towards this thing. And I orient my life towards attaining this thing. And I go and I get it, and then I've got it. And it's cool. At first, it's exciting, the desire's there, and then I'm bored. What else is there? I need another challenge, uh, in, in a, in attraction terms, Aries energy. And here, I guess I'm talking about your Mars placement, um, but also just your chart, uh, where you have Aries in your chart. If you have it on one of the relational houses, number seven or eight. Uh, you could jump into things real quick and temperance. Will be your ally and that temperance is Saturn moving into Aries For all of us, this is gonna have a wonderful, I think I'm, I'm very excited about this transit. Um, I think it will have a wonderful effect is the wrong word, but, uh, perhaps influence in retraining our attention spans. Which have been artfully cultivated to be very, very disorganized and short term if this influence will really cultivate and uh, um, aid the restructuring of our attention to be more focused. Over time to be able to hold thoughts, to be able to hold particular, particular visuals, to be able to hold our focus towards things that we're putting our energy towards, towards, towards, uh, already my favorite word of, of this episode, seemingly. Uh, so I'd love, I'd really love for you to look and see where in your. Birth chart, your needle chart. Does Aries sit for me? It's in my sixth house and my seventh house. Um, so it's work related. It's, it's how I go about actualizing things. You know, it's, I'm, I, I want to be autonomous, you know, I, I work well as my own boss'cause I know what I need to do and I, and I know how to do it. Um. Like I, I've got that fire in the engine myself. Uh, and then, and then it's, it's in the seventh house. So it's there in terms of what I was just saying about relationally, I know for myself,'cause then my miles is in the eighth house, which is the other relationship house, I can just go gangbusters. And what I've really been sitting with for many months is the. Uh, the absolute magic of temperance and let's, let's just stay on the relational, um, example, allowing somebody to show you who they are over time, because character, I think, I sense, is something that is only revealed over time. It's character isn't necessarily displayed in the glossy. Here's my best version, um, aspect of self. So there's that. All of you who have satin in Neptune, hey, you're in the final, no satin in Pisces, sorry, in your natal chart. You're all in the final week of your Saturn return, whether it's your first, your second, or your third. Uh, so. Well done. Uh, I, I highly recommend that at some point this year, it doesn't have to be this week, but this year really do look back at the time period that, uh, Sutton was in Pisces, which roughly was March, 2023 until this Valentine's Day and really notice what's taken place. I, I think I. I think partly for me, um, it, you know, it's interesting when we reach the final weeks of a big transit Sutton is in, is in each sign for roundabout approximately three years. It differs. Um, and as we reach the that point where it's about to switch over it, it can feel like it amplifies its energy and satin in Pisces is. There's a level of, for want of a better phrase, spiritual discipline or energetic discipline, where organizing what is often a very diffuse, misty territory and certain satin in Pisces is the development of boundaries. You know, and, and, and from a pisan standpoint, which can really learn to read. The room, the collective before it learns to read itself. Satin has been anchoring us into the self and being like, Hey, what are my feelings in this situation? What's my energy all about? How disciplined am I in keeping boundaries with myself first and foremost? Um, so on Saturday, oh yeah. So one thing I wanted to say, this. Combined with us being in this waning moon period. So we had that feisty full moon last week. Well, I'm, I'm recording this on Sunday, so on the final day of the week. It's been an interesting one. Uh, it sounds like it's been an interesting one for a lot of you. Uh, I've, I've definitely utilized the fire. Um, as strategically as possible, something that I talk about a lot is, and, and this is what Satin will, will really aid us in mastering as it moves through Aries taking that because we are gonna be mastering the element of fire. How do we take the fire element in Aries, which can really get so excited that it self combusts. You know, it's, it, it burns so bright, so quick that it burns out and it has no fuel in the tank on day two. Uh, and with, with Saturn here, we're developing the slow burn. How can I, like, where am I putting my energy? What are my intentions? Where is my attention going? How good am I at focusing? And how can I use my fire? Which we could on one hand say it's like my wants, my needs, my desires, like I desire this thing, I have this rush of motivation. And then that motivation can be like, eh, I don't feel like it today. Satin is discipline. Satton is, yeah, but I am devoted to this outcome. Or I'm, I am in devotion to acquiring this skill, whatever the thing may be. So we're, so we're taking that fire and essentially letting it simmer, letting things simmer. It's a, it's a slow burn. Things are cooking over time. They're not getting burnt, and then there's nothing edible at the end. Where it's all about the slow cooked meal. Um, yeah. So this is the energy that we're moving into. Something incredibly pivotal will then happen in the coming weeks. Uh, you know, it begins with on Saturday the 14th when Saturn moves into Aries because it will immediately be conjunct Neptune in Aries at zero degrees. And their exactitude takes place a week or two later, but they'll be at zero degrees. I mean, the minutes will line up. Um, that hasn't happened. I think I said this last week, uh, since, from what I understand, I heard a, an astrologer say this, who had done their own research, um, that hasn't happened since 4,000 bc. So. We are in new territory, and I think we can all feel that. And while the, yeah, so let me just talk about some of the transits that are happening because I want to kind of ex, I wanna explain what I would refer to as chaos energy that, uh, that, that is. Hanging out at the moment. Um, so we have this very, very interesting conjunction of Pluto with Mars that started on the 25th of January, and it's there until the 11th of Feb. So they're within 10 degrees of each other for that time period. So it finishes this week, which is great. Um, that to me, and I'm not saying this literally. Though you could, um, but I'm just gonna speak here in terms of, uh, energetically Mars and Pluto, that's war. That's chaos energy. And how does chaos energy work in an archetype like Aquarius, which is where this conjunction is happening. Through a bombardment of information and um, uh, not situations, events taking place simultaneously that feel like there's so much going on. How do I get a handle of this? And there can be that natural. Kind of survival mechanism of, ah, it's too much. I've gotta go back inside. I've gotta just like, focus on my own life. Um, you can apply that how you like, but we can really see the amplification of, of events, intel information. Hectic, hectic stuff, and. I have so many, um, opinions about all of this stuff, and I have so many conversations about this with, um, all of the people that I know in real life, you know, um, and, and my work, my goal and desire, the m is. If I can aid you to really feel deeply attuned to your own self, fully alive within your own body, sharpening the heck out of your intuitive skills. And feeling so alive as who you innately are, then that's the best thing that I can do. I think, um, that in terms of just my work, um, because then you're a lot harder to, um. It's a lot harder to sway somebody. Uh, it's a lot harder to delude somebody even though it's so tricky. And I said this, uh, a month or so ago, like, I get tricked plenty. Um, it's pretty slick out there. And there's also lots of tells. I know I'm speaking so cryptically and sorry, I'm not gonna elucidate, but, um, so I just wanted to make you aware of that, like chaos energy in Aquarius, which is thoughts, collective information and thoughts, the sharing of such, um, bombarding the mind. Uh, bombarding or, or, uh, sending out, um, uh, I'm gonna say missiles, but I don't mean this in a literal sense, sending missiles into the collective that in terms of that create future projections of humanity. That are ghastly and feel like there's no hope. Aquarius is very much related to our humanity and the future of our humanity. And, and I, again, I would say here as earthlings, not necessarily as humans. Um, so that's going on, uh, and. What's interesting is we're in this, that's what I was saying before, we're in this waning moon period and we're in the waning moon period until we have this partial solar eclipse in Aquarius, uh, next Tuesday, and I, I, I'll, I'll do a separate episode for the Eclipse'cause it's very interesting. Astrology Mars, the god of war and military strategy, but also our will, uh, is conjunct. The sun and the moon in this partial eclipse, which is very interesting considering that it's the beginning of the fire horse with all, everything that's happening within its rulership of Aries at the same time, which is why, and, and I am not trained in, in, uh, Chinese astrology. I'm not, but from my standpoint as a western astrologer trained in evolutionary and psychological astrology. What I'm gleaming from the astrology that's taking place. The fire horse to me is deeply linked to Aries. Um, I really do want to speak to a great Chinese astrologer expert. If you know one, or if you are one, send me your details because I think it would be great to interview somebody on this. Um, but how much, how, I mean, how. It, it just feels like suddenly the, we're seeing the fire horse everywhere. We really saw the snake that it's like through that snake year and we're in the last week of it. It's like it really took hold within the collective, at least within the effing tiny bubble that I live in. Right. Um, but it seemed like everyone was, it's. Everyone, many people were now aware that we're in this year of the snake and, and it feels like many, many more people are aware of us going into the fire horse, which is interesting. Like I I, I can't tell you how busy I am at the moment and how many. Uh,'cause I'm booked out for February and I, I need to put out March dates, but I can't tell you how many emails that I'm getting from people really wanting a session like where people are. It, it feels like we're all very, very, very curious about what's coming and what this year really represents. And again, I, I feel like it's my duty to ground that as much as possible into if you are doing, um, your work. Uh, to all those things I listed before that is you really singing in tune that harmonizes with the collective. Um, where was I going with that? Yes. So we're in this waning period, right? Where as it as it goes from new to full, it's the waxing moon, which is a two week period. And then as it goes from full to new, which is what we're in the, the, it's waning, the light is receding on the moon every day, which you're able to see.'cause at least for me, it's, um, it, it's here in daylight, the, the moon right now. Uh, and we can see each day that it's getting smaller and smaller. And this is a time. Uh, symbolically of release, we begin things on the new moon and then build up to the full, and then from full to new. It's where it's a, it's more of a release period and how this is playing out for me, amplified with it being the final week of, uh, Sutton in often diffuse Pisces cleanliness. Organization and I have a Virgo moon, like this makes me feel, um, good and, and you know, like clean house, clean mind is for a Virgo moon. It's that on steroids. Um, but this past two weeks has been that on a whole other level, it's almost like being instinctually driven, like needing to. Do things. So like there's two areas of my house that I've completely rearranged and shifted and, and, and the energy is completely new visually. It's completely new. What lives there is completely new. And then just clearing out spaces, uh, putting things up in the roof, hiring people to take things to the tip, like the amount of. Uh, energy that I've been putting into this is a lot and a lot. I put up a story about this yesterday. A lot of you resonated and said that it's been similar. I was just messaging back somebody who wrote to me saying that it feels like required work. And I loved that wording because that, that's how it feels to me too. It's not something that I can negotiate with, which I've been able to do for several months. It's like, it must be done now. Um. So that's one way that I would utilize this energy. I mean, what I would highly recommend is you do whatever you're being called to do. Uh, but if you listen to this to get a sense of how to really utilize and play the astrology, then this is an incredible time to clear space, reinvent areas, like re imprint them in a way that feels more like you. Uh, is one way that I would say that, uh, but unbelievable levels of organization. And again, like I'm a Virgo moon, so I'm all about it, but we've just stepped into a whole new level of that skillset. Um, so something else that I just wanna mention too, that starts on the 11th of Feb. This is my final point. Um, 11th of Feb to the 19th of Feb. So we'll be here this week and we'll be here over that time period when the, the solar eclipse and partial solar eclipse. And, you know, the Chinese lunar New Year begins on the 17th, but it's Mercury, the messenger. How we perceive reality, how we take in information, and how we emit it. Um, the north node in PIs, the higher highest expressions of creativity and mysticism is conjunct with Venus love, uh, un, un, unbelievable levels of compassion. And empathy. Uh, and I almost like an i the ideal version of love of how we operate ourselves in love or with the gift of love. Uh, but I wanted to mention that'cause that's an incredible time to be re imprinting. Uh. What that looks like, what that feels like, what that could be for you, what you want that to be, could be a great thing for any of you who are single and looking to mingle in, uh, to bring that into the New Moon. Um. But that's a very, very tranquil energy. That's incredibly visual. That's heightened dreams, that's heightened imagination, visioning, uh, being receptive to symbolism that is part of your own languaging. Uh. So there's a lot going on and there and there has been, and it continues and we're right on time. It sounds simplistic, but it's not. The more that you are able to really. Understand yourself. Know yourself. Hold space for all the parts of yourself, um, and a, a, amplify it. You know, um, really feel alive, really feel the joy of being alive, or, um, really, really allow yourself the opportunity to be in the full expression of who you are. That is you playing your part and you have a lot of control over that. Okay. That's me. Uh, it's the final week to join Astrology School. If you are somebody who is the behavioral analyst of your group and maybe your family and have been since you were a kid. If pattern recognition is easy and a go-to for you, uh, if you have learned how to read the room before you learn how to read yourself, if you are deeply attuned to the energy, the emotions, the patterning of self and others, and you want a language and a system. That can hold you and orient your gifts and, and hold, like hold you in the language of it. Uh, then I do recommend astrology school. The first half of our time together, you go through the four layers of the language. The second half of our time together, we journey through. Some deep parts of your chart, your nature, your nurture, and then how do I use this map as an amplification tool, as, uh, a way to really, as a map back to full self attunement. What I mean by attunement is part of how we can see a natal chart is it, it's like it could have a mel, it, it could have its own frequency, right? And if there is any kind of distortion in that frequency, then what I'm suggesting is we can utilize that map to rea attune to the fullest, um, impulse, uh, the, the fullest. Um, highest tone. Of your frequency, your being. It's esoteric and it's simple, it's practical, it's experiential, and we've got an amazing group that's forming. It's a great way to learn the language because you just don't learn from the odd dabble here and there. Um, even though there's a lot of dabbers. Wearing expert caps. Um, you need to be, you know, the way that I formed this school is like, you want to be initiated into your own chart. That's the gateway. Uh, and then you are able to hold that space for others, which you learn more about and level two. But if you're interested, uh, send me any questions. This is an annual. Running. I won't run this again until 2020. What year is it? 2027. Um, because you, you we're learning, you're learning relationally. You're around all these other people whose charts you get to see, you get to hear about how they're experiencing certain archetypes and placements. There's so much that you are learning together as a cohort. Um, with me holding the space and, and guiding you through the whole thing, so it's not you just on your laptop. Um, tapping away at a little self-study thing. Uh, it's, yeah, it's, it's the full, it's the full thing. Okay. I'm gonna go have a great week.
