Core Theme
The discussion forecasts a turbulent and transformative 2026, characterized by intense Mars-driven events, significant shifts in global dynamics, and a departure from the "rot" and unsatisfying endings of 2025 into an era where "things actually happen," albeit with potential for confusion and conflict.

And so just from a technical
perspective, Saturn is minimally capable
of creating order, which is good if you
fear like a longlasting order being
imposed on you. But like the attempt to
impose like the big plan, whoever and
whatever faction or person we're talking
about is very poor. Yes, Saturn Saturn
is out to lunch with Neptune and letting
uh letting his 8-year-old grandson run
things for a couple years. A lot of
Do they know it's spacem time at all?
Austin Copic, welcome back.
>> Thank you, Gordon.
All right, here we are. End of 2025. I I
do love doing six month episodes, if
only to remind myself of how fast this incarnation
incarnation
is is uh is going. 6 months since the
last one. Here we are at the end of
Things are good enough. Um they're
things are always a little hectic in
Astroand in December. you know, instead
of being a light time of year, it's the
time to stress out about the entire
future, like specifically the year
ahead, but like it's really hard to
think about the year ahead without
thinking about the context of the decade
ahead and I don't know the century ahead
and whatever. So it is a uh it is a time
of study and the weight of history
>> which is kind of fun
>> but you know
>> in a
>> in a specifically stressed out nerdy way.
way.
>> No good. Well we hope to uh capitalize
on some of that. But as we usually do
let's do a retrospective. Let's look
back over in particular the last six
months because I think that um that
comported with what we what we suggested
uh rather well but 2025 in general but
in particular the last six months I
think uh the the map matched the
territory pretty well. Thoughts? Yeah,
in particular the the predictions of
rot. Um
um and living in the context of rot. Um
I I if we're going to do metaphorical, I
feel like I still can't come up with a
better match. Like all of the signs that
the structures have lost and are
continuing to lose integrity, but are
still kind of standingish.
Um that that whole at like the that vibe
that environment that sense the sense of
living in that atmosphere of living in
the the building with rotted supports
that hasn't collapsed yet but it makes
you very nervous uh to go about your
business and sleep in it. um very real
and all of the I don't know it seemed
like there in October there began a
torrent of why haven't things collapsed
yet or things are going to collapse next
Tuesday uh stories on the internet and
in mainstream media um and a lot of
there you know a lot of figures and
facts especially here in the United
States supported that where nothing grew
except for investment in AI and that
made people very nervous.
>> Yeah. The the backsliding into the water
and ending up with that like warm trench
water or uh buildings in Venice uh kind
of vibe. And I thought of another one. I
thought of another metaphor. It's like
swamp ass. Like that's exactly what it was.
was.
>> Well, and you know what what's funny?
Well, funny what's unfortunate uh for me
is uh how literal some of that was in
terms of I got I got like real sick
twice this season. Um I usually don't
get sick in a given year or two and so I
got sick two months in a row back to
back like actually
um actually couldn't do anything just
sitting there shivering and fever
sweating sick which was pretty fun. And
I just uh I went I looked back and
cursed the uh the various trench rot
disease metaphors.
>> Yeah, exactly. It just it all lined up
like the um like going back to but also
not progressing on like oh an Epstein
narrative and and all like yep this is
we're doing we're doing all we're doing
it all again. We're doing all of this
again everywhere. Yeah. And
>> when it's like
>> right, which is a good um a good uh
exploration or guide you how deep rot is
and how many uh how many different
things it penetrates, but it's not the
satisfying and horrifying collapse of
the structure. It's not revelatory.
There's no delightful ending, a
delightful or horrifying ending. Um, and
that made me think of it one of the it
made me think of one of the
configurations that we talked about last
time that is still present and has been
present almost all or since September um
but that I didn't explicitly talk about
which was um the Saturn with the north
node aka Rahu or the dragon's head um is
in a natal chart um in the Vic astrology
tradition that I studied in seen um as a
combination which in an individual's
natal chart um can indicate a bad death
and difficulty passing from this life
into what comes next. It's basically an
indicator for somebody who's going to
get stuck or if you've got it in your
child, it's often an indicator that one
of your parents will have a hard time,
but it's an indicator of like a bad
ending that it's hard to let go of. And
um that um that bad ending um has that
like bad ending combination has stuck in
my mind where like a lot of bad unsatisfying
unsatisfying
endings that don't allow you the release
of like full collapse or tragedy um but
just kind of keep you on the hook. Uh
and that combination um works with
Saturn or that combination is present
with Saturn with either of the nodes.
And so the last time that we had that
was actually in 2019.
And it was really interesting because
that's when Game of Thrones ended badly.
That's when the new Star Wars trilogy
ended on a very unsatisfying note for
people. Like these like endings that
sour everything that came before them,
right? Like that make you rethink the
whole story.
>> So yeah, that's that's another
>> one too. Yeah, I caught a video the
other day which was ma made me think
about um the new Neptunian Aries era
that we're talking about which is that
there is rumor that they will retcon the
last decade of like garbage the the last
decade of like um this stuff the the the
woke disappointing nonsense that's
ruined it. There is a there is a rumor
that it will all be recconed and it'll
be like it was a dream all along or who
even knows but like they'll just switch
it back and that's very interesting and
very like oh we need a new hero's tale
um Neptune and Aries era we'll see that
feels very par for the course these days
there's been a lot of like
let's just not talk about it like with
big things with small things it's like h
let's just not let's just move on look
at the new
We don't we don't need to understand
what's happened. We definitely don't
need to like rethink our decision-m
process or try to extract hard wisdom
from it. Let's just
move it on. And so yeah, the um and so our
our
our bad ending that we would rather
forget um configuration lasts until
February of uh next year of 2026. We're
about We got two more months left of the
paws that has not refreshed.
>> Yeah. So, Swamp Pass dries up at the end
of February. It's very dry month here. So,
So,
>> yeah, it's um there'll be a flamethrower
blow dry on the ass.
>> Very cool. Well, anything else we need
to because that's a good example of
like, okay, what whether we want to or
not, are we taking from 2025 into 2026?
And and let's kind of look at the
overall arc of the year before we do the
half, right? So 2026 nested in context
topline shape of where we are,
>> right? Well, okay. So, if we're looking
at all of what we can draw from 2025 and
apply to 2026,
um the like fast and crazy seeming out
of nowhere,
um out of control or boy, that escalated
quickly facets of 2025 were the ones
that occurred when the outer planets
moved into the positions that they'll be
in for all of 2026, all of 2027,
a good chunk of 2028 and beyond. on um
like the the swamp ass period that we're
um getting towards the end of now that
we're just talking about that's that's
over once we get to midFebruary and
doesn't come back and so it's the like
fast crazy seeming out of control
questionable decisionm
um decisive but with bad judgment sort
of uh 2025 that we get for a lot of 2026
>> decisive But with bad judgment. Yes. Yeah.
Yeah.
God. All right. But because we when we
were doing the uh the planning for this call,
call,
I think it was 24, the first half of 24,
we were talking about like not to be
distracted by the the fireworks like
it's going to look like war or whatever
and then not be. This time you can be
like this the the step change in reality
that happens
and of
you can be. No, when I say distracted by
it, it's like that's not a trick. That's
what it is now. This is this is the new
thing. So, it's it's the it's not a
false dawn. It's an actual dawn.
>> Right. Well, and that um like that
speaks to the nothing ever happens meme,
I I think. And so things kind of
happened but then kind of didn't in 2025.
2025.
Um and so I think with 2026 we enter the
era of things actually happen.
>> Yes, agreed. Yeah, that's uh so all
right shape of the year then. So we've
spoken about and we'll get into detail
because it's H1. There's a uh the new
reality emerges with the drying off of
this one Saturn and so on moving into
where they're going to be for a minute
like all the outers from Saturn out
where they're going to be for a minute.
I guess that's April for um Jem. But
what else do we need to know about
though? Like the general shape of the
year. Not too much. Like there's the
there's a switcheroo in June or there's
a surprise bitch in June. But like
there's is there anything we need to say
about Oh, I need it. We need to talk
about early 2027 so that we can talk
about the shape of 2026.
>> Yeah. Um
so, okay. So, the way I'd like to
approach that is 2026
has a lot of big exclamation point Mars
moments um which 2025 did not have which
2025 did not have. Um so uh so really uh
to over to simplify um there is in April
a Mars Saturn co-presence. The Saturn
Neptune conjunction in Aries is visited
by Mars from April 10th to May 18th.
Mars Saturn is a um big uh bloody loud
fiery deal. Always is. And then about 2
months later um in early July um leading
up to the 4th we have Mars conjoining
Uranus in Gemini for the first time.
Mars, Uranus combinations are um uh how
should we say explosive, jarring. Um the
last Mars Uranus conjunction we had was
at the end of Taurus and that was within
a day of uh of Trump getting his ear
clipped uh by the assassin's bullet,
right? Like they're potentially uh
they're potentially game changers. And
this will be the first one we have in
Gemini. It is well worth noting that um
Mars together with Uranus in Gemini was
present in the United States Declaration
of Independence chart and that a lot of
our country a lot of my country's um
sort of big crazy ass moments uh such as
in World War II, such as in the Civil
War have come during Mars Uranus um
together mo in Gemini together moments.
Um, one of which being the only military
deployment of nuclear weapons. Um, the
bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was
during a Mars Uranus conjunction in
Gemini, right? And the twin bombs, the
two the two the the twin bombs were
released. Um, so I'm not not suggesting
we're having Hiroshima and Nagasaki as
early as July. Um but it it is a combination
combination
that has um uh uh a lot of history and
ties into the US chart and the
trajectory of the United States through
history. We will get two more of those
before Uranus is done with Gemini, one
every two years. Um, and then in the
fall, uh, actually specifically
November, um, we have a really
interesting combination of where we have
Mars conjunct the south node or tail of
the dragon and Jupiter at the end of Leo
for quite some time. I'm still thinking
about that one. Um, but it's very
significant. And then that leads into
the very end of the year where things
have seemingly kind of gone quiet as
Mars has entered Virgo. But uh it's in
at the end of the first week of 2027,
Mars stations retrograde in Virgo and we
will have a hell of a retrograde. um not
too long into that red well maybe a uh
uh what is let's see it would have been
it would be uh in the second half of
February of 2027 we have uh a big bloody
moon eclipse right on top of that Mars
retrograde which really
>> um puts a lot of exclamations around it.
So, we've got these we've got several
like big Mars things, and there are
other unpleasant Mars things, but those
are my
>> uh those are my those are the ones that
those are the the the tier one Mars
moments. And
>> yeah, I'll just stick with that for now
because we when we want to talk about
2026, there's some stuff particularly in
January, which we'll get to now, which
is almost like the beginning of a Mars
story that extends outside of puny human
calendars. like it's a it's it's not so
much that it's a multi-year. It's like
stuff that's going on
carries on past the the the next
Christmas. And you kind of need to know
that to to talk about this cuz we're
looking at uh war patterns in an age of
air. And one of the things we spoke
about was what does that look like? is
the the various models that I'm looking
at here have war running for
too many years for an era in which we
have things like drones and nuclear
weapons. We have like this long period
of wartime as if we're still doing
trenches and things and it's like, well,
how is how is this going to play out?
And it we had that discussion. It's like
it it's like tornado weather like um
it's yeah 80% chance of war weather for
for longer periods of time. And how we
at this side of it
look at where that may potentially
condense is telling stories of Mars.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Well, that was one of the
things I've been trying to do and
succeeding to some small extent is get a
sense of what is normal during the
during the periods of time that are um
the age of air which is 200 years at a
time where Jupiter and Saturn can join
in air signs because we just entered
that in at the end of 2020 early 2021 um
and it's the beginning of 200 years and
so when we look back at those periods
which are roughly 1 1200 to,400
roughly 400 to 600 roughly 400 to 200 BCE.
BCE.
um we see a a number of patterns. Um
number one, it's um it's where all the
good plagues are. Um and so uh plague
plague is normal. Um but I was
specifically interested in thinking
about war and in addition to having some
sort of big conquests that break up um
existing sort of oified orders such as
Alexander's conquest of the Eastern
Mediterranean or the Jingis Khan's
conquest um of most of Eurasia or the um
uh I guess Western European conquest of
the Western Roman Empire. again all of
them um serving to break up um oified
uh empire structures that had developed
during the previous age. But once you
get past those big dramatic ones, um you
have a lot of chronic conflict
um where things don't really get decided
um the one of the uh better examples of
this that also can stand in for some of
the others um is that we get the first
like 60some years of the hundred years
war um during uh during one of these air
eras um where you know there's there's
like this two decad ade period that's
still part of the hundred years war and
then this 15-year period which is a
different section of the hundred years
war. Um and it as I was looking at that
it made a lot of sense of some of the
things we've already seen where even
though big things happen like there is
um a tremendous there's been a
tremendous and bloody land war in
Ukraine for years now and um uh Israel
and Palestine have never or I don't know
this is the bloodiest is this this is
the the bloodiest conflict they've had
for forever. ever
>> since since Israel. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Like this is number one. Um
um and you know, as well as uh then the
United States just like dropping a lot
of bombs on Iran. Iran sending a lot of
rockets to Israel and yet it's sort of
somehow not broken normal. It's just
sort of felt normal. Um and so when I
was looking at the history, this sort of
like oh yeah, it's a it's a hundred
years war. like these things just like
it's fires that just don't go out.
>> Um or they they guttter for a while um
um and so it seemed you know again I'm
trying to adapt my thinking to what is
normal in the era that we've just
entered into.
And I think for a for a specific World
War II moment, it's and you said this
not last. Yes, last year because it's
the end of 2025 that it's going to look
like which technically all world wars
are, but we know what you everyone knows
what we mean here. Like it's it's going
to look like uh the renition coming back
to guttering fires of like conflict
lines wherever they happen to be like
North and South Korea, etc., etc. That's
what it that's what it looks like here
because it's it's air. It is that it's
not like well here's here are the here's
the battle line and here are my trenches
and here are your trenches and let's
just have at it uh and let's just attach
other and and then sign a treaty and and
move on with our lives,
>> right? because and it's it's
understandable but I think
>> confusing that we have we have this sort
of idea of war set by the last hundred
or even last 200 years um where it's
like a huge deal it's very climactic and
then it's over very finally and the
world has changed in the wake of it and
then we live for decades in the wake of
that solid structure which is left
behind by a climactic conflict. Um and I
don't think um yeah I don't think we
have uh I don't think we have the same
intensity and then resolution like clean
if devastating re resolution structure
for this century. I don't think that's
what uh that's what war is going to look
like. Yeah. Very good. All right. So
with that as the the the wider context,
shall we what do you think? Should we go
month by month or transit by transit?
What are you feeling?
>> Yeah, I think month by month is a pretty
approachable way to do it and not too
out of sync with the way the planets are
moving this year. >> So,
>> So,
>> um the first month of the year, January, is
is
uh a standout in terms of how many
planets are not visible in the sky. Um,
we have Mars and Venus and then for a
lot of January, um, Mercury all hiding
behind the sun's radiant skirts. Um, you
just you won't see them rise, you won't
see them set, um, with the naked eye.
And so, where have Mars and Venus and
Mercury gone? Um, and so they're all
doing uh, they're all doing conjunctions
with the sun. they're all doing which um
you know are literally uh visibly like a
very important meeting that you can't
see like it's um it's uh consequences
um the consequences of what's planned
may be very significant especially in
retrospect when you look back um at that
time um but you can't see what's going
on and it's it's really and so all the
planets do this they make a conjunction
with the sun relative to our position.
We can't see what happens. But that's
considered the beginning of a cycle,
right? The um the most obvious version
or the most approachable version of this
is the the new moon which happens every
month where sun and the moon can join
but you can't see the moon during that
time. What are they planning? And so to
have basically Mercury, Venus, and Mars,
to have all three of them doing these
the same month is somewhat rare and
significant. On an in on a personal or
an individual level, this feels like
there's a lot going on inside and you're
thinking about you'll be thinking a lot
about the last cycle for Venus, the last
cycle for Mars, and then the much
shorter cycle for Mercury. But there's a
there there's a Janice facing
considering the past and thinking about
what you want to do going forward,
right? Which >> yeah,
>> yeah,
>> it's a beautiful like on an individual
like on a microcosmic basis, it's
actually a really delightful time to to
have this happen like January,
>> right? Like there's Yeah. Right. Like
how convenient people, you know,
culturally there's a lot of uh uh
pressure to do that anyway in January,
right? Um and it's kind of nice that uh
we have three planets all doing that in
a short period of time. And of course,
you know, important decisions of
important like weighing and judging and
sorting and
keeping and discarding like do need to
take place under cover of darkness,
right? Like under beneath the rays of
the sun. Um
so um yeah like there's so the how
should we say
>> it's literally like love fitness and
money like if you think about the three
of them that are there those are the
resolution that's what you should like
let that be the oh I'm going to sit and
and do my weighing and visioning uh in
that energy
>> right Mars like what's worth fighting
for right um what where does my where
does my struggle my capacity for
struggle though, right? Because we have
a finite finite capacity for struggle,
but where we invest our struggle can pay
off quite a bit or create more problems,
right? And with Venus, it's like what is
actually worth anything, right? Like
what do I like what um what do I love,
right? Who do I love? And then how do
how am I going to do that? Um move
closer to that u maintain that, etc.,
etc. And then yeah, Mercury, what are my
what are my sneaky little moves, right?
What are my where does my cleverness go?
On a geopolitical basis, something that
has emerged over the last year is the
most important factor in geopolitics is
who is and isn't in the room. So, if you
look at the uh the Trump White House's
negotiation tactics, and some of them
are quite good, frankly, of like
isolating the bloodthirsty EU plans from
from trying to deescalate and solve,
even without that, it's a game of who
isn't isn't in the room. Like, can Kalis
uh permanently remove Russia from the G8
if they ever get back in? Is who is and
isn't in the room? There's the parapathetic
parapathetic
nightmare that is Trump's son-in-law
showing up everywhere like, "Oh, I'm
going to run a Gaza rebuild. Now I'm in
Moscow." Um, who is and isn't in the
room is and thus what is who gets to
hear what is spoken about and what plans
are made is like
>> the geopolitical moment. And so when we
look at January and then when we look at
what which has these secret meetings
configuration and then we we look at
what the rest of the year is going to do
whilst it's it's quite nice on a
personal basis it's a uh it's we will
some significant meetings will happen in
January that we will not be privy to
Jared Christian listens to this show
>> right well and there are right and this
is this is significant like you know
each one of these cycles is meaningful
in and of itself, but having all three
occur in a in a short time frame um you
know is pretty unusual. And so it means
four planets in the same sign right next
to each other. And that that gets called
in some older texts an assembly of
planets. And I I like that that
language, this assembly. And then this
assembly moves together for a while.
like already as we're speaking Mars and
Venus are not really very visible
without uh uh ideal viewing conditions.
Um and so what's I suppose a little bit
more ominous is that this assembly of
sun, mercury, venus and mars um shortly
after um making those conjunctions with
each other or making those conjunctions
with the sun all four of them move um
move across Pluto or our new friend
Pluto and Aquarius. And so what is it
from the 19th to the 26th of January we
have four planets all conjoined Pluto.
Exactly. If you looked at the chart for
any one of those days, it just looks
like a pile of stuff on top of Pluto.
Um, and so, you know, we have Pluto.
Pluto in Aquarius since it's moved in a
couple years ago seems to be primarily correlated
correlated
with the um with AI with um not not for
a little bit now, but um um but with the
like alien stuff. um alien like um alien
stuff is like one of the the thought
forms around Pluto and Aquarius. Um but
the AI stuff as well as the sort of
looming like the looming threat of cyber
punk tech company oligarchy as the
governance system for the century.
And so one one example of um
conjunctions with Pluto giving these
kind of vibes was the Trump inauguration
um last year or the beginning of this
year which had um conjunctions with
Pluto and in uh at which the uh the
presence of tech oligarchs was
conspicuous and widely commented upon.
This is metaphoric, potentially literal
kissing of the new archon ring. Um, and
and it's like it it feels to me like,
oh, it's go time on this plan. Uh, it
it's this whatever that happens to be. I
think it's go time on the EU false flag
that happens a little bit later. Um, but
it's definitely like go time on the
plan. like everyone
everyone has to uh parade in front of
the new Lord of the Underworlds throne,
right? So, it's like go time on like,
oh, I guess everyone is on board with
basically Peter Theal and the rest of
those nightmares vision for what uh the
world look whether that they achieve
that is different. It it does seem like >> that's
>> that's
>> that's what that looks like to me. Th
those two things look like um secret
plan that then gets signed off by the
new lord of the underworld.
>> Yeah, that that's certainly like four
planets conjunct. It's literally an
assembly before the weird planet that's
not a planet that's just kind of um
lurking at the edge of the solar system
>> the theop planet. Yeah, the planet of FOMO.
FOMO. So
So
>> I think that Yeah. And so I think
January will be relatively quiet,
>> right? Because there's there's a lot
happening beneath the surface. There's a
lot, you know, and that that's true
internally as well. And the the Pluto
internally, right, uh is like how do we
how are we adapting to the amoral
evolutionary pressure of the present?
But I don't mean I mean evolutionary in
the like cruel Darwinian sense rather
than in the spiritual unfolding sense.
Like Pluto often represents this amoral
and um potentially illogical
set of forces that are nonetheless very
powerful during a time period which we
have to adapt to whether it makes
whether we should have to or not. It's
like okay, how are we adapting to the um
the powerful but you know amoral sort of
current um shaping the present
very Borg we will adapt like it's it's
yeah Pluto and Aquarius said with Borg
voice you know we will adapt that's good
that's a really
potent way of of framing how you
listening to this sit with what Pluto
does in your
It's like like you don't get to you
don't get to decide if you want this or
not. This is what's happening. Borg adapt.
adapt.
>> Yeah. Or how to resist being Borg
adapted. But like the Borg are there and
adapt and adapting the environment to
the cube. Um but it's like okay so
that's the situation. You can't be like
well you know that's really wrong. We
should um somebody should do something
about that. Like the Pluto is always the
nobody's doing anything about it for
quite some time, right? It's here. It um
and so what are how are you adapting to
that situation or how are you
effectively avoiding it, which is um one
of nature's top three adaptations is
don't be there.
>> True. True. All righty. Anything else
for January before we move into the the
the most exciting one way or the other
couple of months? Yeah. Um, at the very
end, Neptune sneaks back into Aries and
will be there for 13 more years. So, the
that that like the the sad but beautiful
dream um of Neptune and Pisces is
finally over. And the like exciting but
exciting, heroic, and potentially
violent and stupid dream of Neptune and
Aries is here, right? It's here until
almost the end of the next decade.
>> Nice. Nice. All right. So, February >> February,
>> February,
>> right? Yeah. So, right. It's a it's a
one, two, three punch, which is um
almost as common as the one two and
somewhat more effective. Um so, uh it is
bas it is the eve of Valentine's Day
here on the North American continent
when Saturn moves back into Aries,
right? We had this uh we had this uh uh
retreat back into Pisces which began in
September after having uh uh uh a
preview of Saturn and Aries as a treat
from the end of May until September. But
uh come February 13th, Saturn is back in
Aries until the second quarter of 2028.
And um again that is the whereas the
Saturn Pisces is the sort of gives us that
that
moist soden rotting trench foot. My
dreams have curdled. Um and my my hopes
have turned uh hopes have turned to I
don't know maybe despair maybe just
disappointment etc etc to the like let's
move let's move fast and stupid. Um
that's the Saturn and Aries way, right?
They're like be decisive regardless of
how good your judgment is. Um or you are
things are decided and you just need to
keep up, right? It's that energy which
we saw um particularly over the uh the
the summer well here in the northern
hemisphere in 2025.
And so Saturn um Saturn is not only back
in Aries, it's with Neptune. and the two
make the only perfect by the minute
conjunction that they're ever going to
make about a week later. Um, and so the
Saturn Neptune conjunctions are pretty
important. They're about every 36ish years.
years.
Um and um you know it's the collision of
the um how should we say the judgmental
practical things uh things things have
mass and cannot coexist in the same
space um Saturn principle with the um uh
with with the the power um the power of
dreaming with Neptune. And so part of
what this does is it confirms some
dreams or visions, makes them real, and
it also demolishes uh other dreams,
>> right? In in general,
>> in general, it tends to be even though,
you know, it is important to note which
dreams make it through the Saturn
Neptune conjunctions, which ones are
confirmed. Usually um it's um usually
it's more of a period of disappointment
um or confusion because the the the
dreaming the dream logic really fucks up
all of the like real and measurable
things that are Saturn's job to oversee.
I did the uh Cast Tindle's your head
workshop the other week in Brisbane and
one of the ways she categorized it which
is sort of what you're saying there is
what you thought was real may turn out
not to be real. Um there's and that's in
your life that's in in how the world
works or so on because it's kind of an
interesting combination right because
Saturn's in full there. So it's not so
much the like Saturn isn't the stronger
player in it in the sense of it's not
crushing it's not only crushing dreams
it's actually the opportunity to
um thoughtfully
construct a new reality for oneself
moving forward like the building a
cathedral idea but it's also Neptune's
coming in to show what is a real
structure and was not like and is not
right so it's a very interesting
powerful moment I
Yeah, it is. Um, and it's interesting
because the two have been so close for
years. Um, but in Pisces and so they
they they only finally make perfect
contact in a different sign in Aries.
Um, and they actually they conjoin in
the very first degree of Aries of zero
Aries. Um, which is uh which is a very
powerful place. It's it's where the sun
is u on the day of the uh of the equinox
um the vernal in the north. Um and so
it's a very powerful initiatory
um position.
And so yeah, it's it's it's the
beginning of new dreams that would
become real and then end of a cycle for
um dreams that you know bid to become
real. And some of them some of them will
be will sort of get the official stamp,
right? like you get to continue into the
next 36 years and then others which are
shorterlived will be um threshed and
return back to the compost pile. And so
in addition to that the Saturn Neptune conjunctions
conjunctions
for whatever reason play a very
conspicuous role in Russian history. Um
the uh during the last exact
conjunctions which were in 1989
um we saw the Berlin the fall of the
Berlin Wall and the um the departure of
most members of the Warsaw pact um which
led to the dissolution of the Soviet
Union about 2 years later. the one
before uh the the Saturn Neptune
conjunctions before that um which were
um in the early 50s saw the death of
Stalin and a very meaningful directional
shift in the Soviet Union. Um the one
before that um was uh uh excuse me the
ones before that are the beginning of
the Russian Revolution, not the
conclusion, right? Because it lasts the
Civil War lasts several years. Um but
the beginning of the Russian Revolution
in earnest and then the one before that
is the assassination of Zar uh was it
Zar Alexander II. And then the one
before that, there actually isn't a
crazy like uh there isn't a crazy
historical moment in Russian history. We
can go back further and we get other
significant moments. Um but we do have
to go back to 1846 for a Saturn Neptune
conjunction that isn't really pivotal in
Russian history. Um and unless the birth
chart is um the wrong year, which it
could be for uh Vladimir Putin, um he
was also born during a Saturn Nept
during the the Saturn Neptune
conjunction in the early 50s. And so we
also have a leader that has that that
signature. And so just with this now
that we're in Saturn Neptune town properly
properly
um the you know it's I I I one one can't
not watch Russia right because
>> um most of the time it's a really big
fucking deal. Maybe this is like the
1846 one where it's like a lot of Europe
is having revolutions but Thesar um
keeps things relatively stableish. Um
but there are parallels we could draw to
other uh uh some of the other instances.
Um and it's worth noting that even
though the two can join exactly um for
the one and only time uh towards the end
of February, they will be co-present,
right? They will both be in Aries and
sharing space until um the second half
of the second quarter of 2028, right? So
that's a that's a big deal that Saturn
Neptune is a big deal. And in order to
accentuate it, we have an eclipse that
is ruled by Saturn. we have a solar
eclipse in Aries, uh, excuse me, a solar
eclipse in Aquarius, which is ruled by
Saturn, um, within a day and a half of
that exact conjunction of Saturn and
Neptune. And so I believe what is that
the 18th um of February um we have uh we
have a solar eclipse in Aquarius which
is not only um occurring at the same
time as that Saturn Neptune conjunction
um but is also directly looking to um
Saturn for quote unquote guidance. Um
the wisdom uh
uh the the wisdom and sobriety of said
guidance I uh I greatly doubt. Um but
it's like it's the first it's the first
of the string of firecrackers that goes
off during H1. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
The um we'll talk about a little bit
later as well, I suppose. But in in
terms of the various arrays in
Armstrong's model, February is a panic
cycle in most markets, particularly
European ones. So like February, March
is the most kinetic moment followed by
August for panic cycles. and the way
they're showing up is kind of is that
usual like there's a 60% if you unfocus
your eyes alignment here because it's
Europe so it's consequently Russia more
um when it comes to this year and and
that moment so it's one of those like
yeah okay cool that's the that's the
step change and it's almost coming back
to what Cass said it's like you'll know
what isn't isn't real what you thought
was real maybe wasn't can be things like
peace agreements and so on because if we
look at with the eraser it looks to Kim
like it looks it's going to look like in
January February peace is going to break
out but it won't. So it's that's the
surprise switcheroo towards the end of
Q1 for him that's showing up in
different currencies and it's that step
change into oh no actually this is what
we're doing. This is the thing.
>> Yeah. I I think it'll be it'll be it'll
be really like that second half of
February will be really jarring. Um,
it's also worth noting that that
eclipse, which is the 17th, not the
18th, um, is uh, co-present with Mars,
right? Um, so in Aquarius, you got Mars,
Pluto, and then the sun, the moon doing
an eclipse.
Um, which again, it doesn't look
particularly peaceful. Um, I would I
would not look at that and think peace,
but you know, I don't know. There are so
many surprises and um
moments that will seem crazy or nonsensical
nonsensical
um this year that I I'm I'm ready to not
be surprised by being surprised. Um good
point. And that that's an eclipse, but
it's also we were talking before and
let's move on to it. Like that's a theme
that runs for the next couple of months
almost like a head injury and it's like
wait my head is spinning. Let me let let
let's see if I can't get reality to
stabilize. But yeah.
>> Yeah. Yeah. And and we kind of like that
eclipse is sort of our uh uh it's the
all aboard the the crazy train. Um which
keeps going but has distinct phases for
the next couple months. Um and so as we
get into the end of February and the
beginning of March, we're waiting for
the other eclipse to drop. Um and that
second eclipse will be in Virgo. Um and
um excuse me. Yeah, that second eclipse
will be in Virgo on March 3rd. And we
have opposite that like on the other
side um with the sun we have Mars and
Mercury which is stationing retrograde.
Um and then what we have for a lot of
Mar March is the aftermath of that
eclipse which is in Virgo. So, it's
Mercury ruled, right? Like the the sight
of um the sight of destruction, the
sight of whatever eclipsing um is
Mercury's terrain, right? It's in Virgo.
And so, we look to what's going on with
Mercury. And Mercury is in like a almost
perfectly awful condition for all of
March. It is in the sign of its full
Pisces, right? Which Pisces is great,
Mercury is great. It's very hard to do
details and accounting and all of the
like um clever and clear distinctions
that mercurial work depends upon in
Pisces. So, Mercury is in its full. It
is retrograde.
It is the ruler of the eclipse. Um and
it is also um right there with Mars um
and right there with the dragon's head
or the north node for pretty much that
whole time. And so it's um it's Mercury
retrograde but with a variety of
performance enhancers injected into it.
>> Um it's uh it's a it's yeah potentially
like quite dangerous confusion
um miscommunication misinformation like
the it it's you know it's it's it's
standard Mercury stuff but it is more
dangerous and conf Yeah. the confusion
is more d is much more dangerous than usual.
usual.
>> Yeah. Okay.
Could also be capital controls. I mean
it's not quite restrictive but that's
one of the things that comes with war in
Europe is um is a is they'll get the
first digital currency grid. Um but I
was I'm expecting that more on the
trends. But it's interesting you say
that way like well what is what is a
confusing like I don't know how this is
going to go. Can I move this? Does this
still work? Does like does does this
currency still work? Um seems that kind
of because it's Pisces seems kind of
like all right.
>> Yeah. And with Mercury have like this
back, you know, you have the back and
forth. Um >> Exactly.
>> Exactly.
>> U because it's retrograde, right? Where
you're like, well, I thought it was
going this way. Actually, it's going the
opposite, but now that I look at it,
maybe it it's what I first thought. But
like again extra um uh an extra lack of
clarity which makes um making smart or
clever moves very difficult during this
period of time. Um we also have the
Mercury uh delivering very bad news um
with it um being with Mars and Rahu.
>> When you roll out something like capital
controls it doesn't like it is that it's
like oh what if I need to get money to a
charity in Africa? It's like I I think
that's a lot. Just give me a like it is
actually not
it. It's a very retrograde process
anyway, right? Because it's like wait.
So, but does that mean this now that we
have a digital currency, can I still use
this bill for €100 and up? It's like I
just Yeah. Yeah. Right. Like uh Yeah. Um
disastrous rollouts of some technical
system change are would be very par for
the course. We had a a pretty nasty
Mercury retrograde in Q4 of 2025. Um,
and that's when when uh uh uh Windows
rolled out or with the the mandatory hop
to Windows 11 happened, which was their
least po uh least popular, most um most
bemoned uh system change for 20ome
years. Um like that that sort of thing.
We're like, "Oh, we're doing it this
way." And it's a fucking nightmare. Um
that right like that that's very normal
for this kind of hyperinflicted mercury situation.
situation.
>> Um the the Yeah. Interesting. Very cool.
No, very cool. Like all right, that's
going to be >> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> The thing that comes after the end of
Feb. All right.
>> Yeah. And what's interesting is it
actually resembles um it actually
actually resembles March of 2025 a lot
which had a lot of really con had
similarly confusing configurations, but
Mars wasn't involved in 2025. So, it was
more um like damage through confusion
and volatility, but there wasn't um like
you didn't have Mars the uh uh Mars the
damager of the burner, the cutter um as
part of it. So, it makes it, you know,
it it's like it's one thing to be clumsy
um to run and fall down. It is another
thing to run with scissors, right? And
to be clumsy and fall down. And so the
there there are scissors in Mercury's
hand this time. Um which makes it yeah
more of an issue. It's worth noting that
Jupiter is configured in such a way that
um there there are a number of worst
case scenarios that won't quite happen.
There are some there's going to be some
like saving grace stuff there. or
there'll be a especially on an
individual level a a potential for
repair. Um that wouldn't uh that doesn't
have to be part of this worst case
scenario for mercury. Um but it is right
like mercury is still in this terrible
position. All these things will tend to
happen but a little little saving grace,
a little potential for remedy or repair
is ambiently present. Um which is nice.
And so just as this is kind of winding
down this really confusing period,
right, which we went just to recap,
right? We went Saturn and Neptune are
conjuncted both in Aries. There's an
eclipse that references those. Holy
shit. And then we go into super
confusing um Pisces time. And then just
as things might be starting to feel semi
sane, um once we get to April 10th, Mars
moves into Aries. And then we have Mars,
Saturn and Neptune in Aries. Um, and
that that that is
I suppose one of the things we can say
for that is it is not confusing. Mars
and Saturn together are very
straightforward and brutal and
especially in Aries. And then that
portion of events um goes from April
10th until May 18th. But the the wor the
the the harshest portion of it will all
be within April. Um especially around
like um uh 420 we have um Mars, Saturn
and Mercury all conjoined within a
single degree because Mercury's caught
up and wants to join the party. And so
Mars and Saturn, the two traditional
malefifics, um they conjoin roughly
every two years. And it's always um it's
a concentration of difficulties, right?
You have the like hard slow um maleific
which is Saturn combined with the hot
and the fast which is Mars. And so you
have both like slowm moving threats,
environmental threats, and then like the
quick acute threats um come together in
the same place. Um
>> so it's sort of maximum damage um
concentrated in one area. Um and so
that's as like straightforward a set of
crises or wars or disasters as we're
going to get. Um, and so the I was
looking for precedents for that. And so
the last time that Mars conjoined Saturn
and Neptune in Aries, um, we had the the
destruction of, uh, the the city of Port
Royal by fire. Um, and you got to go
pretty far back to find a precedent. And
I was like, well, that that works. It's
literally it's destruction by fire. It's
in a fire sign. We have the the Neptune
component. It's very important. it was a
very important Caribbean port. Um, and
it's just straightforward devastation
with Mars Saturn. Um, so that's that's
rough. Um, I don't imagine that um peace
will break out throughout the world uh
during that period. Um,
and yeah, um, should maybe say something
less devastating about how that is on an
individual level cuz it's not that Mars,
Saturn, Neptune will break into your
house and burn down all of your port
cities. Well, it depends. Like I've got,
you know, a moon in
>> I've Yeah, I've got a moon in in in
early Aries. So, yeah, I might. Yeah. Anyway,
Anyway,
>> I'll avoid Port Royal. And I hope I hope
I hope the planets lay off Port Royal as
well. They had a terrible hurricane this year,
year,
>> right? Right.
>> Yeah. They don't need uh destruction by
water and then fire. Um but yeah, on a
personal level, again, Mars and Saturn
can join every two years. It's not that
you've never lived through this horrific
conjunction before. Um but it's maximum
pressure in a particular area of life.
And very often what it looks like is
being pushed beyond reasonable limits.
Um being worked to the bone where things
are u multiple um multiple challenges
sort of intersect in a way that make
things temporarily seemingly
unendurable. They're usually in
retrospect quite endurable. Um but it's
usually very stressful and really shitty
Yeah, the the January configurations,
the January transits were were better on
an individual like Okay, cool. So, it's
going to be hard and tiring, but I will
actually get through it because Mars
brings the tiring, but also brings the energy.
energy.
Well, and the Mars like one very um one
very like simple lived version of Mars
Saturn um conjunction um is like Saturn,
oh I'm really worn down and Mars says
but all of this needs to be done in two
days, right? And you're like and the
consequences will be dire. And so it's
like having to um you know having to go
how should I say get a week get a week's
worth of stuff done in a day and a half
when you were already burned out, right?
Right? Like the Saturn is like the
long-term like you've been accumulating
this burnout and stress for months and
it just so happens that that is peaking
as um this emergency that you don't have
the option to not handle comes up,
right? Which is like which is shitty but
um again not beyond human endurance and
not apocalyptic. No,
No,
unless it's moon in Aries 6. I'm not
going to have I'm going to Yes, I'll uh
there'll be some self-care come June.
>> Yeah, indeed. Indeed. And so, uh, you
know, I think a lot of this underscores
why it is, um, not just potentially
pleasant or, um, convenient that we have
quieter skies, at least on the surface
in January.
um that like those like those behind the
sun assemblies I think offer a
period of time to get things together to
uh on a very mundane level to establish
good habits um to get things oriented so
that the one two three the Saturn
Neptune eclipse the um very confusing u
Mercury Pisces stuff and then the
straightforward brutality of the Mars
Saturn like doesn't just completely fuck
your plans for the year. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Um and so getting like there it's very
difficult to make ch lasting changes for
the better in the middle of like
firestorms and confusion right so
getting that set um setting your
trajectory into that one two three that
that February March April I think is
quite important. and
and so I would even say to know that
it's in there one of the things I was
thinking about last night in in an
Andian context the reason the main
reason you eat locally is because in
titan like so the sun actually beams
individualized codes let's say for like
those local conditions into the plants
in the area that you're at. So the
reason you eat locally is to to get the
update is is to get like what the what
the sun god is expecting and has
available for you in that area. It's
very interesting that it's sort of like
that with uh with January like it's when
when you have the the sun conjunctions
they kind of get new like codes like um
codes from iny and it's like so they'll
be in there as they're Mars in
particular but as they're moving around
your chart this year they have got
updated codes and and just have faith
they'll unpack right that's yeah eat
your Andy and potatoes and and have fa
have faith faith that the the codes will unpack.
unpack.
I like that. That's nice. Um and so the
like uh the consolation prize or the
rest bet um begins miday and from miday
until most of the end of June is I think
the best looking stretch of sky in 2026.
Um the Mars Saturn thing breaks up. Mars
is off in Taurus. Saturn's doing still
back in Aries. Um we like we don't have
Mercury retrograde. We don't have
eclipses. And both bonificics um Jupiter
and Venus uh are in good condition. We
actually have both of them in Cancer um
for almost a month. And so we have a
period that is not only not actively
confusing or destructive um but in fact
is actively like sweet and reparative
um and coherence building um and so
that's like May 18th until end of Juneish
Juneish
and it's at the very end of June last
couple days that we have a sort of jokeresque
jokeresque twist that then sets us up for a bit of
twist that then sets us up for a bit of a crazy train July. Um we have Mercury
a crazy train July. Um we have Mercury which um throughout uh throughout the
which um throughout uh throughout the second half of June looks like it was
second half of June looks like it was just headed towards a nice conjunction
just headed towards a nice conjunction with Jupiter and Cancer but on the 28th
with Jupiter and Cancer but on the 28th it stops one degree before Jupiter and
it stops one degree before Jupiter and instead of um instead of unifying turns
instead of um instead of unifying turns retrograde right it says like no
retrograde right it says like no actually we're not going to complete
actually we're not going to complete this con like this connection you
this con like this connection you thought it was going towards the greater
thought it was going towards the greater bonific but actually things are going
bonific but actually things are going backward from there. And then the next
backward from there. And then the next day, Jupiter nopes out of Cancer and
day, Jupiter nopes out of Cancer and moves into Leo, which is a much harder
moves into Leo, which is a much harder position for Jupiter. Um, which in
position for Jupiter. Um, which in practice means less less grace, less
practice means less less grace, less large ass, less um less doovers, less
large ass, less um less doovers, less padding. Um so Jupiter like Jupiter B
padding. Um so Jupiter like Jupiter B functionally becomes less generous and
functionally becomes less generous and kind as Mercury says no we're not doing
kind as Mercury says no we're not doing that conjunction and then at exactly the
that conjunction and then at exactly the same time Mars moves into Gemini um
same time Mars moves into Gemini um which is ruled by the newly retrograde
which is ruled by the newly retrograde Mercury and into conjunction with Uranus
Mercury and into conjunction with Uranus and that sets the stage for the July 4th
and that sets the stage for the July 4th Mars Uranus conjunction in Gemini which
Mars Uranus conjunction in Gemini which we spoke about earlier. Um, so we get um
we spoke about earlier. Um, so we get um yeah, like this uh this this idol or
yeah, like this uh this this idol or this period where it seems like things
this period where it seems like things are gonna like gonna uh going to be
are gonna like gonna uh going to be repaired or aren't so bad gets a pretty
repaired or aren't so bad gets a pretty harsh uh reversal with three factors
harsh uh reversal with three factors changing in about a day and a half at
changing in about a day and a half at the end of at the end of June and then
the end of at the end of June and then that sets us on the trajectory for July.
that sets us on the trajectory for July. >> Yeah. which is H2. Is is you just
>> Yeah. which is H2. Is is you just mentioned Mars to start with? Is the
mentioned Mars to start with? Is the second half of the year less Mars? Is it
second half of the year less Mars? Is it like who's who's the man of the match
like who's who's the man of the match for H2
for H2 somewhat less but still relatively
somewhat less but still relatively Marsy? Um, so we have the the Mars the
Marsy? Um, so we have the the Mars the Mars Uranus in Gemini and that's a big
Mars Uranus in Gemini and that's a big deal and that's um because Uranus is so
deal and that's um because Uranus is so early in the sign um that
early in the sign um that uh Uranus is so early in the sign that
uh Uranus is so early in the sign that the exact conjunction happens pretty
the exact conjunction happens pretty much right away. It's early July. Oh,
much right away. It's early July. Oh, worth noting, one of the things I missed
worth noting, one of the things I missed in the um the one, two, three punch of
in the um the one, two, three punch of H1 is that Uranus moves back into Gemini
H1 is that Uranus moves back into Gemini at the end of April when that Mars
at the end of April when that Mars Saturn is very hot. Um
Saturn is very hot. Um >> um which yeah uh contributes to the
>> um which yeah uh contributes to the overall atmosphere. Um and then and then
overall atmosphere. Um and then and then mid uh midsummer midH3 Mars moves into
mid uh midsummer midH3 Mars moves into Cancer and we get uh we get in August
Cancer and we get uh we get in August and to a certain degree to a lesser
and to a certain degree to a lesser degree in part of September we get um
degree in part of September we get um Mars in its fall in Cancer squares
Mars in its fall in Cancer squares Saturn in its fall in Aries. And so Mars
Saturn in its fall in Aries. And so Mars Saturn squares have some of uh some of
Saturn squares have some of uh some of the same qualities as the Mars Saturn
the same qualities as the Mars Saturn conjunction but less completely intense.
conjunction but less completely intense. Um but there is like a grinding
Um but there is like a grinding harshness. There is the meeting of like
harshness. There is the meeting of like the slow difficulties and the fast
the slow difficulties and the fast difficulties. The u accelerator and the
difficulties. The u accelerator and the brake being hit at the same time and
brake being hit at the same time and stripping the like stripping gears. Um
stripping the like stripping gears. Um it's you know it's harsh but not as
it's you know it's harsh but not as harsh as um uh as the as the period in
harsh as um uh as the as the period in April and the first part of May. After
April and the first part of May. After that Mars goes into Leo and
that Mars goes into Leo and in the my least well there are two
in the my least well there are two significant moments for Mars and Leo.
significant moments for Mars and Leo. one is earlierish and that is the way
one is earlierish and that is the way that it that it uh lines up with the the
that it that it uh lines up with the the Venus retrograde that we have in
Venus retrograde that we have in October. Um Venus stations retrograde in
October. Um Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio and it does so um in a T-square
Scorpio and it does so um in a T-square with a Mars Pluto opposition. So Mars
with a Mars Pluto opposition. So Mars and early Leo is opposite our friend
and early Leo is opposite our friend Pluto and Aquarius and then Venus and
Pluto and Aquarius and then Venus and Scorpio is 90° to both of them. And so
Scorpio is 90° to both of them. And so that's like a particularly
that's like a particularly ugly, harsh, upsetting
ugly, harsh, upsetting version of the Venus retrograde in Venus
version of the Venus retrograde in Venus retrograde in Scorpio, which we do uh
retrograde in Scorpio, which we do uh every 8 years. So Mars really serves the
every 8 years. So Mars really serves the Mars and early Leo really serves to give
Mars and early Leo really serves to give that Venus retrograde a really ugly
that Venus retrograde a really ugly harsh beginning. And then the last um
harsh beginning. And then the last um really uh one of the last really notable
really uh one of the last really notable Mars moments in 2026 is when it is in
Mars moments in 2026 is when it is in late Leo and it's slowing down in
late Leo and it's slowing down in anticipation of the retrograde to come
anticipation of the retrograde to come and it's and so we get and what we get
and it's and so we get and what we get is weeks of Mars conjunct Jupiter at the
is weeks of Mars conjunct Jupiter at the end of Leo which is um in of itself is a
end of Leo which is um in of itself is a very
very um it's it's like it's a jolly a
um it's it's like it's a jolly a conqueror um like big big confidence big
conqueror um like big big confidence big achievement sort of configuration but
achievement sort of configuration but those two are conjoin the uh the
those two are conjoin the uh the dragon's tail or the the south node the
dragon's tail or the the south node the eclipse point and so we have like a
eclipse point and so we have like a weird um potentially destructive shadow
weird um potentially destructive shadow energy woven into that Mars Jupiter
energy woven into that Mars Jupiter conjunction um and you know although
conjunction um and you know although Mars Jupiter like that jolly conqueror
Mars Jupiter like that jolly conqueror energy can be great on a personal level
energy can be great on a personal level given the context of the world and uh
given the context of the world and uh 2026. I don't I don't like the I don't
2026. I don't I don't like the I don't like jolly conqueror energy.
like jolly conqueror energy. >> No, I right like the Jupiter serves to
>> No, I right like the Jupiter serves to make Mars very confident about um about
make Mars very confident about um about doing doing attacks and waging war.
doing doing attacks and waging war. >> Um but again there's this weird weird uh
>> Um but again there's this weird weird uh weird south node shadow over it. And so
weird south node shadow over it. And so that's and that's uh that's in uh
that's and that's uh that's in uh November. And then Mars goes into Virgo
November. And then Mars goes into Virgo and there's a square with Uranus.
and there's a square with Uranus. I don't want to talk about that too much
I don't want to talk about that too much right now, but um anyway, it seems to
right now, but um anyway, it seems to like mellow outish by the end uh once we
like mellow outish by the end uh once we get into December, but then we've got
get into December, but then we've got the whole Mars retrograde and Mars is
the whole Mars retrograde and Mars is not only going to do the conjunction
not only going to do the conjunction with the eclipse, um you know, coincide
with the eclipse, um you know, coincide with an eclipse, but then Mars will
with an eclipse, but then Mars will about half of the Mars retrograde is
about half of the Mars retrograde is back in Leo with Jupiter and with the
back in Leo with Jupiter and with the south node again. And so there like the
south node again. And so there like the the end of the year has this very
the end of the year has this very particular Mars Jupiter south node
particular Mars Jupiter south node signature which still thinking through.
signature which still thinking through. I'd like to get some more precedence for
I'd like to get some more precedence for that. We'll be able to talk about that
that. We'll be able to talk about that in more detail in H2.
in more detail in H2. >> But yeah, a lot of Mars moments.
>> But yeah, a lot of Mars moments. >> Yeah, this is the 2026 is a Mars year.
>> Yeah, this is the 2026 is a Mars year. Like he's going to be man of the match
Like he's going to be man of the match when you think about it. I mean there
when you think about it. I mean there are bigger events. It's funny to say it
are bigger events. It's funny to say it like that. um because there are more
like that. um because there are more potentious
potentious uh space changes like Neptune and and
uh space changes like Neptune and and even to some extent Uranus and whatever.
even to some extent Uranus and whatever. But when you think about the amount of
But when you think about the amount of stuff who's doing the most in 2026,
stuff who's doing the most in 2026, it's Mars. Yeah.
it's Mars. Yeah. >> Well, and
>> Well, and what's significant is that Saturn and
what's significant is that Saturn and Neptune and their um their big
Neptune and their um their big conjunction and co-presence in Aries,
conjunction and co-presence in Aries, it's a Mars ruled sign. So, they're
it's a Mars ruled sign. So, they're looking to Mars, right? like they're
looking to Mars, right? like they're responding to the dreams are the dreams
responding to the dreams are the dreams and the realities um and the space
and the realities um and the space between are both of a marshall nature,
between are both of a marshall nature, right? Like what can what can be
right? Like what can what can be achieved? What um what what harms can be
achieved? What um what what harms can be prevented? Um you know like oh we need
prevented? Um you know like oh we need to move really fast and harshly to make
to move really fast and harshly to make this dream real like it's all framed
this dream real like it's all framed within the vernacular of Mars.
within the vernacular of Mars. >> And the square is in August, isn't it?
>> And the square is in August, isn't it? The Mars set and square you said. Yeah.
The Mars set and square you said. Yeah. Um, and that's, you know, I'm I'm not
Um, and that's, you know, I'm I'm not sure exactly how to articulate. Well,
sure exactly how to articulate. Well, it's Mars, Saturn, right? So, it just
it's Mars, Saturn, right? So, it just has the Mars Saturn harshness, but it's
has the Mars Saturn harshness, but it's also the two in their signs that they
also the two in their signs that they kind of fuck up the most in, right?
kind of fuck up the most in, right? They're both in their fall where Mars
They're both in their fall where Mars has particular
has particular difficulties knowing how to like
difficulties knowing how to like asserting effectively and appropriately
asserting effectively and appropriately in cancer and Saturn uh very often lacks
in cancer and Saturn uh very often lacks the patience and sobriety
the patience and sobriety uh necessary for good uh for good uh
uh necessary for good uh for good uh good Saturning and uh solemn judgment
good Saturning and uh solemn judgment when it's in like fast kinetic youthful
when it's in like fast kinetic youthful Aries. And so they're it's the same it's
Aries. And so they're it's the same it's you know it's the same harshness but
you know it's the same harshness but both at a bad moment.
both at a bad moment. >> Yeah. That's next cluster of panic
>> Yeah. That's next cluster of panic cycles. So there the same they they
cycles. So there the same they they cluster around the the war signature um
cluster around the the war signature um March let's say in Armstrong's model and
March let's say in Armstrong's model and the next cluster particularly in Europe
the next cluster particularly in Europe and currencies is in August. So you look
and currencies is in August. So you look at them and go well is that the reality
at them and go well is that the reality of oh we're definitely doing this war.
of oh we're definitely doing this war. Um
Um >> well and another thing that happens in
>> well and another thing that happens in like while Mars and Saturn are doing
like while Mars and Saturn are doing that square in their signs of fall we
that square in their signs of fall we get our first eclipse in Leo um toward
get our first eclipse in Leo um toward like mid August
like mid August >> and so that like that uh yeah that's two
>> and so that like that uh yeah that's two different things the Mars Saturn and the
different things the Mars Saturn and the eclipses but they also coincide u first
eclipses but they also coincide u first eclipse in Leo it's at the end of Leo um
eclipse in Leo it's at the end of Leo um and so that's moving um yeah like that
and so that's moving um yeah like that is that is moving the eclipse shadow
is that is moving the eclipse shadow into this new sign. Um, and it is
into this new sign. Um, and it is interesting that it is at the end of Leo
interesting that it is at the end of Leo where we have all of that Mars, Jupiter,
where we have all of that Mars, Jupiter, K2 stuff, right? And it's in the place
K2 stuff, right? And it's in the place marked by the solar eclipse. I I don't
marked by the solar eclipse. I I don't um I don't like making should I say
um I don't like making should I say grand historical stuff too much about
grand historical stuff too much about any one person's chart but it is worth
any one person's chart but it is worth noting that uh Donald Trump has the
noting that uh Donald Trump has the ascendant and Mars at the end of Leo and
ascendant and Mars at the end of Leo and that
that >> I was just going to say from memory
>> I was just going to say from memory because you know it better than I do.
because you know it better than I do. There's a lot of Leo in that shot. Like
There's a lot of Leo in that shot. Like he wouldn't want his chart for the
he wouldn't want his chart for the second.
second. >> No, no, not for that solar eclipse and
>> No, no, not for that solar eclipse and uh and not for the the Mars Jupiter K2
uh and not for the the Mars Jupiter K2 there which then recurs again. Yeah.
there which then recurs again. Yeah. Like that's that's not the chart you
Like that's that's not the chart you would want to have. And it is also
would want to have. And it is also um not if I were functionally
um not if I were functionally um a king or my culture's version of a
um a king or my culture's version of a king role like a president, I would not
king role like a president, I would not want a solar eclipse on my ascendant.
want a solar eclipse on my ascendant. >> No,
>> No, >> you know, the the eclipses are the solar
>> you know, the the eclipses are the solar eclipses are historically
eclipses are historically um you know, associated with the removal
um you know, associated with the removal of people in kingship positions. Um, as
of people in kingship positions. Um, as I was doing research on general things u
I was doing research on general things u over the last couple weeks, I just I
over the last couple weeks, I just I stumbled across a couple charts that
stumbled across a couple charts that were um kings or uh one a French king
were um kings or uh one a French king and one a zar um uh that were both born
and one a zar um uh that were both born right next to solar eclipses. One of
right next to solar eclipses. One of them was the French king uh Charles VII
them was the French king uh Charles VII who famously
who famously invaded Italy in what like 14 95 97 um
invaded Italy in what like 14 95 97 um and began the Italian wars. Um but more
and began the Italian wars. Um but more famous or less famously um bumped his
famous or less famously um bumped his head um bumped his head going down the
head um bumped his head going down the stairs and fell over dead at 27. Um and
stairs and fell over dead at 27. Um and he was born like he was born like 20
he was born like he was born like 20 hours after a total solar eclipse. And I
hours after a total solar eclipse. And I was like, not good for a king. And then
was like, not good for a king. And then as I was sort of as I was checking
as I was sort of as I was checking Russian history stuff, I was looking at
Russian history stuff, I was looking at the assassination of Zar Alexander II.
the assassination of Zar Alexander II. And he too um was born uh he was born
And he too um was born uh he was born leading into a solar eclipse with the
leading into a solar eclipse with the sun. The sun exactly conjunct the
sun. The sun exactly conjunct the dragon's tail. And um again uh not only
dragon's tail. And um again uh not only was assassinated, but as I was reading
was assassinated, but as I was reading the history, that was like the 11th
the history, that was like the 11th assassination attempt. Um, and so
assassination attempt. Um, and so anyway, like the I just whether it's whe
anyway, like the I just whether it's whe whether it is bumps on the head um or
whether it is bumps on the head um or anarchists trying to blow you up um if
anarchists trying to blow you up um if you are a king, solar eclipses on your
you are a king, solar eclipses on your ascendant are not your friend.
ascendant are not your friend. >> Yeah, he's um he's not a healthy man.
>> Yeah, he's um he's not a healthy man. And so it's the the list of things that
And so it's the the list of things that could eclipse him out grows, right? It's
could eclipse him out grows, right? It's >> well the um funny
>> well the um funny >> what is an interesting sort of
>> what is an interesting sort of historical parallel but it's not a
historical parallel but it's not a prediction is the so the uh uh Charles
prediction is the so the uh uh Charles the uh Charles VII um I looked at the
the uh Charles VII um I looked at the chart of when he bumped his head and it
chart of when he bumped his head and it was a sun sat it was a sun saturn
was a sun sat it was a sun saturn conjunction in Aries
conjunction in Aries >> um
>> um >> and I was like oh we're going to have
>> and I was like oh we're going to have some of those the next couple years I
some of those the next couple years I wonder if anybody important will bump
wonder if anybody important will bump their
their He's literally just like going down the
He's literally just like going down the stairs too fast and donked his head on
stairs too fast and donked his head on the door frame um and then was just
the door frame um and then was just done.
done. No,
No, it's uh last year's conference
it's uh last year's conference immediately after the election uh
immediately after the election uh looking at Armstru looking at the arrays
looking at Armstru looking at the arrays that he thinks Trump gets about two
that he thinks Trump gets about two years like but he said it in the context
years like but he said it in the context of to fulfill whatever it is he's trying
of to fulfill whatever it is he's trying to do but it looked like it's one of
to do but it looked like it's one of those things that well two years is
those things that well two years is almost up tick tock like it it actually
almost up tick tock like it it actually will be and we're heading into some very
will be and we're heading into some very interesting space weather so
interesting space weather so >> well and it's something uh like that
>> well and it's something uh like that that addresses something
that addresses something larger that I think is uh relevant which
larger that I think is uh relevant which is with this Saturn Neptune and Aries
is with this Saturn Neptune and Aries years it's based it is about as bad a
years it's based it is about as bad a condition as Saturn can be in and so
condition as Saturn can be in and so Saturn gives
Saturn gives um gives harshness of order right it is
um gives harshness of order right it is the extremity
the extremity um of order um which is a malefific
um of order um which is a malefific right um But we need some harshness of
right um But we need some harshness of order to keep things from being a circus
order to keep things from being a circus nightmare. And so just from from a
nightmare. And so just from from a technical perspective here, Saturn is
technical perspective here, Saturn is minimally poss minimally capable of
minimally poss minimally capable of creating order, which is good if you
creating order, which is good if you don't want um if you fear uh like a
don't want um if you fear uh like a longlasting
longlasting uh order being imposed on you. Um, but
uh order being imposed on you. Um, but like the attempt to impose like the big
like the attempt to impose like the big plan, whoever and whatever faction or
plan, whoever and whatever faction or person we're talking about is uh very
person we're talking about is uh very poor. Like Saturn is not supporting
poor. Like Saturn is not supporting Saturn is basically um yeah, Saturn
Saturn is basically um yeah, Saturn Saturn is out to lunch with Neptune um
Saturn is out to lunch with Neptune um and letting uh letting his 8-year-old
and letting uh letting his 8-year-old grandson run things for a couple years.
grandson run things for a couple years. It is um like a lot a lot of stupid
It is um like a lot a lot of stupid things are possible
things are possible >> that are not
>> that are not >> certainly looks like the the law and
>> certainly looks like the the law and order policy um continuing and
order policy um continuing and escalating in in in a insane direction.
escalating in in in a insane direction. Yeah, fair enough.
Yeah, fair enough. Cool. All right. Anything else
Cool. All right. Anything else particularly about H2? Anything else to
particularly about H2? Anything else to to leave people? We did and it's I think
to leave people? We did and it's I think we'll go with it. the
we'll go with it. the uh sponsor meme or or the meme that
uh sponsor meme or or the meme that we're
we're refuing under is from
refuing under is from well it's the run burgundy meme that
well it's the run burgundy meme that escalated quickly right so it's the
escalated quickly right so it's the anchor man me which is pretty much the
anchor man me which is pretty much the the the the step change jump energy as
the the the step change jump energy as we move into like late February for that
we move into like late February for that crazy few months is what I want people
crazy few months is what I want people like kinetically if you're trying to
like kinetically if you're trying to feel the first half of uh of 2026. Think
feel the first half of uh of 2026. Think of that meme that escalated quickly.
of that meme that escalated quickly. >> Yeah. And
>> Yeah. And the way that uh the way the first half
the way that uh the way the first half of the year is shaped, I think there uh
of the year is shaped, I think there uh creates a pretty practical shape where
creates a pretty practical shape where first month um get things together,
first month um get things together, right? Because it's going to be a bit of
right? Because it's going to be a bit of a ride. Um but there is some space to
a ride. Um but there is some space to think through some things and then to
think through some things and then to set them down in a pattern you would
set them down in a pattern you would like to continue. And then the last
like to continue. And then the last portion like second half of May in
portion like second half of May in through almost all of June is really
through almost all of June is really quite nice. And so that's useful as a oh
quite nice. And so that's useful as a oh my god when is this over or like oh my
my god when is this over or like oh my god like it's just been thing after
god like it's just been thing after another is that you know is that just
another is that you know is that just how the things are this year? Is that
how the things are this year? Is that how life is? Like there is a there's a
how life is? Like there is a there's a pretty uh there is a pretty cushy
pretty uh there is a pretty cushy landing space uh during the last portion
landing space uh during the last portion of H1. Um but the middle is is um the
of H1. Um but the middle is is um the middle is is very crazy making uh
middle is is very crazy making uh alternately crazym and brutal.
alternately crazym and brutal. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. >> Well, forewarned
>> Well, forewarned but as you say like it's if this is a
but as you say like it's if this is a thing that we're going to do and there
thing that we're going to do and there there's quite a good window uh at the
there's quite a good window uh at the end and also a really nice opportunity
end and also a really nice opportunity at the beginning to to do that visioning
at the beginning to to do that visioning and planning. So, I think, you know, if
and planning. So, I think, you know, if we're going to go through 2026, and we
we're going to go through 2026, and we are, it's pretty sweet. It's pretty
are, it's pretty sweet. It's pretty sweet setup to to ride the ride.
sweet setup to to ride the ride. >> Yeah. I think it's it could be a lot
>> Yeah. I think it's it could be a lot less workable. Like, we could not have
less workable. Like, we could not have uh a sweet spot um during the end of H1.
uh a sweet spot um during the end of H1. We could just go right into um more
We could just go right into um more crazy bullshit.
crazy bullshit. >> Very true. All right, speaking of crazy
>> Very true. All right, speaking of crazy bullshit, what have you got going on 26?
bullshit, what have you got going on 26? >> All right. Um,
>> All right. Um, I'm teaching classes like I always am.
I'm teaching classes like I always am. Um, I'll be doing another enrollment
Um, I'll be doing another enrollment into my fundamentals of astrology
into my fundamentals of astrology program in uh, let's let's say mid
program in uh, let's let's say mid January might be yeah it's let's say mid
January might be yeah it's let's say mid January. Um, the way to keep track of
January. Um, the way to keep track of that as well as to participate in it is
that as well as to participate in it is to sign up for my mailing list. I don't
to sign up for my mailing list. I don't um put it all over social media. There
um put it all over social media. There is excuse me
is excuse me uh there are just um newsletters that go
uh there are just um newsletters that go out tell you when the when the
out tell you when the when the enrollment is and then um the enrollment
enrollment is and then um the enrollment itself. Um with Sphere and Sundry we
itself. Um with Sphere and Sundry we made a bunch of stuff. There are a
made a bunch of stuff. There are a couple really nice pockets of time
couple really nice pockets of time recently. Um so we made a bunch of good
recently. Um so we made a bunch of good stuff. More of that will be rolling out
stuff. More of that will be rolling out throughout H1. Uh, we just came out with
throughout H1. Uh, we just came out with a Jupiter in Cancer series that I'm
a Jupiter in Cancer series that I'm extremely happy with. I think you would
extremely happy with. I think you would like it in particular, uh, Gordon. It's
like it in particular, uh, Gordon. It's the full moon in Aries feeding Jupiter
the full moon in Aries feeding Jupiter and Cancer everything. It has a lot of
and Cancer everything. It has a lot of juice. It's surprisingly
juice. It's surprisingly balanced sautic sort of full battery
balanced sautic sort of full battery energy rather than manic juice. Um, but
energy rather than manic juice. Um, but it's a lot of juice. really happy with
it's a lot of juice. really happy with that series. We called it the the
that series. We called it the the sublime dynamo.
sublime dynamo. >> Um
>> Um >> very cool.
>> very cool. >> And then
>> And then >> yeah um so stay tuned there. You know, a
>> yeah um so stay tuned there. You know, a note about the sphere and sunundry
note about the sphere and sunundry project is as of that Jupiter series,
project is as of that Jupiter series, we've done we have now done
we've done we have now done every planet in both of the signs that
every planet in both of the signs that it rules as well as its sign of
it rules as well as its sign of exaltation except for Saturn in Libra.
exaltation except for Saturn in Libra. >> Wow.
>> Wow. >> Which we have to wait another
>> Which we have to wait another >> 15 years for. We we did some work with
>> 15 years for. We we did some work with that back in 2014, but that was not uh
that back in 2014, but that was not uh not 2014, sorry, 20 uh that was uh 2012,
not 2014, sorry, 20 uh that was uh 2012, but um uh but we but we didn't uh uh we
but um uh but we but we didn't uh uh we didn't make enough for anybody else. So,
didn't make enough for anybody else. So, it's kind of an exciting
it's kind of an exciting uh almost there and we have because it's
uh almost there and we have because it's Saturn, we have to wait for another 15
Saturn, we have to wait for another 15 years to get like literally the last
years to get like literally the last bit.
bit. >> Um so,
>> Um so, >> very cool. It's like a very cool
>> very cool. It's like a very cool >> maturity for the project.
>> maturity for the project. >> Awesome. Well, all right. Uh, we did it.
>> Awesome. Well, all right. Uh, we did it. End of 2025, beginning of 2026.
End of 2025, beginning of 2026. Thank you so much and uh and happy
Thank you so much and uh and happy Christmas everyone and and good luck.
