Core Theme

The year 2026 is astrologically described as a pivotal and "jam-packed" year with numerous significant transits, marking the definitive end of one era and the beginning of new ones, particularly with outer planets shifting into new signs. This period is expected to bring about major shifts, potential conflicts, and a heightened sense of reality distortion.

Hey, my name is Chris Brennan and you're

listening to the astrology podcast.

Joining me today is astrologer Austin

Copic and we're going to be looking at

the year- ahead astrology forecast for

2026 and giving you an overview of the

entire year's transits over the next 12

months. So, hey Austin, uh, welcome.

Thanks for joining me.

>> Hey Chris, I am happy to be here.

>> Yeah, we are doing it. We are back again

for another year ahead forecast. We've

been doing these for many, many years

now. And it's always something we

prepare a lot for, but we have got a lot

to talk about because there's so many

transits this year. This is going to be

an incredibly pivotal year in world

history. And I could not think of a

better astrologer to talk about that

with than you. So, thanks a lot for for

joining me.

>> Thank you. That's very kind. I feel the

same way. We've got

so much to discuss.

>> Yeah. Well, luckily we've got a lot of

practice at this point doing these. And

that was something you and I were

talking about is like we got a lot of

experience doing the yearlies and the

monthlies at this point, which is really

going to come in handy this year because

there's so many distinct astrological

transits going on that any one of them

could be like the important transit we

would talk about like this year is the

biggest one, but instead there's like

five or six or seven of those, I think.

>> Yeah, it's pretty jam-packed. It's um

it's definitely a year that's maybe they

talk about weeks worth a decade. Um

there's some um very insightful quote

about that. I don't know if we have a

whole I don't know if we have 52 weeks

each of which is worth a decade. Um but

this year is definitely punching above

its weight in terms of drama.

>> Absolutely. All right. So here's our

structure today. Our goal is we're going

to spend about an hour in the first part

of this episode doing an overview of the

biggest transits of the year and talking

about like the major especially outer

planet transits and other things like

that. Then in the next part of the

episode, we're going to transition into

a monthby-month breakdown where we go

through and talk about a little bit more

of the micro details of the major

astrological transits happening in each

individual month. And we're going to go

through that quarter by quarter until we

get to the end of the year. So big

picture first and then zooming in in the

second half of this episode. As always,

there will be be timestamps if you want

to jump ahead to any different parts of

the episode. Uh but otherwise, why don't

we just go ahead and jump right into it

with the overview of the astrology of 2026.

2026.

>> Let's do it.

>> All right, let's do it. So here first I

want to share the planetary planetary

movements calendar that was designed for

us by Paula Bellomini who designed our

monthly and yearly calendar to show

where the planets will start at the

beginning of the year and how far

through the signs of the zodiac they'll

get by the end of the year including

some of the different retrogrades and

eclipses that are going to take place

during the course of this year as well

as some of the major conjunctions such

as that Saturn and Neptune conjunction

right there in Aries.

So, here are the major transits this

year that we're going to focus on in

this overview that are the biggest

impact transits and the major

astrological alignments during the

course of 2026. So, for the audio

listeners, I'll just read off some of

them quickly and then we'll we'll talk

about each of them in detail. So the

first one is that right off the bat at

the beginning of the year Neptune

departs from Pisces completing a more

than decade long transit and moves into

the sign of Aries where it's going to

stay for 13 years. And simultaneously

Saturn leaves Pisces and moves into the

sign of Aries where it's going to stay

for 2 years. And then immediately in

February the two planets form a

conjunction in the sky which only

happens every like 36 or 40 years or

something like that. And this is one of

the most important alignments that's

finally taking place at the beginning of

the year. Then in February and March, we

also have our first eclipse season with

an eclipse in the sign of Aquarius and

Virgo. After that, Uranus departs from

Taurus and enters into Gemini where it

will stay for 7 years uh right in the

middle of April. And then a couple

months after that, we get our first of

four Mars Uranus conjunctions on July

4th. uh starting the first of those will

start taking place every two years from

2026 forward until 2032.

Uh Jupiter's going to transit through

Cancer in the first half of the year,

but then it's going to go into Leo in

the second half of the year for a

one-year long transit. Then we get our

second eclipse season in August,

bleeding over a little bit into early

September, which is going to take place

in Leo and Pisces. Then we get a Venus

retrograde later in the year in Scorpio

and Libra that's really centered on

October through November when Venus

starts moving backwards through the sky

from our vantage point. And then finally

by the end of the year as things are

closing down Mars is slowing down and

getting ready to station retrograde. and

it's already entered through its shadow

period and the signs that it's going to

retrograde in from late September

through December before eventually

stationing retrograde in Virgo on the

basically the very first week of January

of 2027. So that's kind of the setup at

the very end of this year that leaves us

on a cliffhanger as we'll talk about

here in just a little bit.

So that is the those are the major

alignments that we're going to be

talking about here. Um, do you want to

start with some big picture statements

or should we jump right into Saturn and Neptune?

Neptune?

>> I think Saturn Neptune is pretty big picture.

picture.

>> Yeah, we have been talking about that um

transit for a while and one of the

things that's wild about that is you

know how let me show actually a diagram.

I'll show a couple diagrams from that

were designed by um Paige Herbert to

help illustrate some of the astrology of

this year. And this one primarily

illustrates the

the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune

where we saw Saturn and Neptune get

within one degree of a conjunction last

summer, especially around the July time

frame when they first dipped into Aries,

but then they retrograded out and went

back into Pisces. But now by February,

they're both fully into Aries and we get

the first and only exact conjunction

between those two planets. And just

prior to that, um, Neptune departs from

its long transit through Pisces and

moves into Aries on January 26th,

whereas Saturn departs from Pisces and

moves into Aries on February 13th. And

one of the things about that that you

and I talked about in the last uh

forecast episode for December is how all

of the outer planets this year are

finally changing signs. like they've

been doing this weird thing of going

back and forth for a few years. And

we've clearly been on the cusp of a new

era for several years now, especially

since Pluto first started dipping into

Aquarius in 2023. But now everything

fully shifts into the new signs that

they're going to be in for a long time.

And it's the end of one era and the

beginning of a new era. And there's just

uh no going back is like the key word I

was talking about last month.

>> Yeah. And no going back is absolutely

right. Um the astrology divides this

decade very neatly um in terms of the

outer planet positions um where Uranus,

Neptune and Pluto are and 2025 which we

are in the final days of now was the

first year where we saw where the where

Uranus, Neptune, Pluto are going to be

for the rest of the decade. Um but

unlike no going back, they all went back

except for Pluto. So, we got a taste of

Neptune and Aries. We got a taste of

Uranus and Gemini, but uh but only a

little sizzle reel. Um and since uh

September and then November um for

Neptune and Uranus, they've been back

where they were in 20 uh 2018 even. And

so um our Saturn Neptune conjunction

coming up early this year is um how

should we say is a it is a return uh it

is a return to the future. It's back to

what's actually uh what's actually

unfolding and will continue to unfold

for the rest of the decade. Um, 2025 was

our last uh our our last moment with the

first half of the decade. And uh I hope

it was more um bittersweet, touching,

and pleasant for most people than it was

for me. It seemed like kind of a kind of

a bad ending. Um like I might have uh

left a negative review online for how

all those planets left it.

>> Sure. Yeah, it's definitely there's um a

touch of a touch of that for sure,

especially with like the Saturn transit

through Pisces. I know a lot of people

are excited to be done with and you know

this is so some of my keywords for this

year was like this is the point of no

return but it's also the year that stuff

gets real where we've seen a glimmer of

some of that stuff over the past couple

of years of what's to come but like this

is the year in which a lot of that I

think will finally fully start to

manifest and nowhere is that going to be

more clear than the Saturn Neptune

conjunction because we've been

experiencing the co-presence ever since

Saturn went into Pisces and joined

Neptune by sign and that signbased

conjunction starting in March of 2023

and they've been like slowly building up

to this conjunction and we could see one

of my primary keywords for that

conjunction which is the creation of

this reality distortion field getting

more and more intense over the past 3

years as that conjunction grew closer

peaking last summer when it got the

closest. But now we're finally getting

the only exact conjunction in February.

Um, and that's going to be intense. The

completion of something that's been

building that we've been feeling for so

long, but also having it move into a new

sign marking the beginning of a brand

new era.

>> Yeah, it's um

it's a um it's a little confusing

because in one sense it is um it is the

peak of that configuration, right? It is

the only uh it is the only moment when

the two will be in exactly the same

minute of the same degree and yet they

will continue to be in the same sign

until the middle of 2028. And so it's

it's very much a climax, but it's not a

climax that leads um uh that leads to a

conclusion quickly. We've got um more

than two more years of Saturn Neptune

after after this peak point.

Right. Really good point.

>> And and you were, as you were saying,

it's been interesting that we've had the

two together um close together. Um it's

uh doing all of their confusing

uh reality modeling, ontological crisis

inducing work in one sign, but the

actual moment where they make contact is

in another sign entirely. and at zero

degrees of Aries um which is a rather

significant point. Many people would say

that the zodiac begins there certainly

um where the sun is on the vernal

equinox in the northern hemisphere. It's

a it's an important point.

>> Yeah, absolutely. And you know, we've

been seeing that. I mean, one of the

things that this is obviously coinciding

with is in terms of like the reality

distortion field is the peak of AI

generated video being perfected. So that

it's now going to hit a point I think by

February where it's going to be hard to

tell the difference between what's real

and what's not. And we're already there,

but there's still an awful lot of tells

oftent times where you can kind of like

tell the difference. But I think we're

hitting the the turning point where it's

going to be hard to do that anymore um

just as this conjunction is going exact.

And it's been amazing seeing the buildup

to that point over the past few years.

But that's just one like technological

example of a broader phenomenon of this

difference between telling what's true

and what's not or telling like what's

lies versus what's truth essentially in

many different areas of society and in

our lives in general.

>> Yeah. What's and I would add to that

what's reality and what's imagination

which can be tricky because you can

imagine real things and sometimes if

enough people believe what is imagined

becomes real and so it's hence the

reality distortion the onlogical crisis

it it makes um deciding what is clearly

true and real um much trickier than normal

normal

>> which you know, it's never the easiest

thing. Um, that's why the discipline of

philosophy still exists with unanswered

questions, right? The the what is real

is not uh not an easy question under

ideal conditions and Saturn Neptune

conjunctions are the opposite thereof,

right? Yeah. So we have that and then um

we also have like structures like the

dissolving of structures that are kind

of like breaking down at this time which

is a really classic Saturn Neptune thing

that happens like the last conjunction

for example was the fall of the Berlin

wall and the dissolusion of the Soviet

Union at that time. So we're seeing

similar sort of dissolving of structures

in different places both personally as

well as in the world in general like

with the US government there's so many

different structures that are are being

dissolved over the past few past year

like really rapidly that it's been

startling to like watch how how literal

that is in some instances.

>> Yeah. And those just like with the um

the the dissolution of the USSR um

during the last cycle, there's often

something shockingly quick and nonviolent.

nonviolent.

Not that there aren't some critical

consequences, but it's you expect a

structure to put up more of a fight. Um,

but it just kind of gets booped and then

falls apart rather than like the walls

don't need to under Saturn Neptune, the

walls don't need to be sieged for

months. It It's not like the the result

of some loud um like loud structural

attack. Um it's it's a little shocking

at how quickly um a thing will fold. Um >> yeah,

>> yeah,

>> and which makes you ask, was it was it

ever real? Right. What if if it fell

apart like that, then maybe my ideas

about uh its density and its reality

beforehand were were off.

>> Yeah. I've been I had the image recently

of like a cardboard box, which normally

are like structurally,

you know, pretty sound if you can like

ship packages in them and stuff can go

around the world in a cardboard box if

it's like sturdy enough. But if you

place a cardboard box in a pool of

water, it very quickly like loses

structural integrity and will can just

like collapse on its own um in that

context because like the water is just

so antithetical to the

>> the makeup of the cardboard. And that's

one image I have right now for some of

the structures that are hitting that

like folding point right now.

>> Yeah, folding. Yeah, that that's a great image.

image.

Yeah. So those are major things. Um

other Saturn Neptune things that we need

to mention. I mean there are positive

things I will mention because one of the

things about this Saturn Neptune

conjunction that's important is it's

going to be a recurrence transit for

anybody born during the previous Saturn

Neptune conjunctions over the past

century. especially the one that

happened around 1989 in Capricorn and

then the one that happened before that

around 1953 in Libra. Um, for anybody

born around those conjunctions that have

that as a signature, this conjunction is

going to represent a pivotal turning

point in your life because it's like the

same music is playing over again that

was playing when you were born. And

sometimes a spotlight gets shown on

those people that have that conjunction

in nataly at this time. And one of the

things I noticed in the recurrence

transit episode is that even people that

had it like several degrees away, let's

say like 10° away natally when the exact

aspect forms, sometimes that's when the

most pivotal event happens in their

life. So I think for a lot of those

people, it's going to be that February

time frame becoming really crucial.

>> Yeah, I think that's right. Um and it's

interesting that the last two were also

in cardinal signs. The 89 and 90 um the

Saturn Neptune was in Capricorn and then

in was 51 to 53 it was in Libra. And so

for the people who were born in the

early 50s it's this it's Saturn Neptune

opposite where Saturn Neptune was natally.

natally.

>> So it's like in you know it's very

configured. It's on on the same axis of houses,

houses,

>> right? So, one thing I'll say about that

that is positive though that I saw a lot

in the Saturn return stories of the 1989

people is that there were these attempts

to manifest like a a utopian ideal in

the world and to bring form to that. And

that's something we see a lot during

Saturn Neptune conjunctions is people

that have like a higher uh philosophical

or religious or spiritual notions about

the world trying to bring that into

manifestation somehow sometimes by

creating like a religious community. I

noticed in the Saturn Neptune episode in

history that I did with Nick that there

was a lot of religious communities

founded around Saturn Neptune

conjunctions. So we'll probably have

some things like that happening and

small beginnings at this time. but also

just other people that have like social

ideas for like social or political

causes. Um trying to bring some of their

structures from their ideals and their

philosophy into concrete form at this time,

time,

>> right? Trying to create a Satturnian

structural container for the imagined or

believed or dreamt thing,

>> right? And so for some, you know, that

might be a good thing if we're talking

like humanitarian ideals and ideals that

are sparked by, let's say, like sympathy

or or empathy or other other things like

that that can be good Neptunian things,

but then of course there'll be others

that might be um not as good depending

on different ideologies and other things

that are involved.

>> Yeah. I mean, I I just I can't imagine

that possibly going wrong.

>> Yeah. Utopian movements pretty much

always succeed is what history teaches us,

us,

>> which is why things are so good now.

>> Yeah, clearly. Um, all right. So, Saturn

Neptune. Part of the context though with

Saturn Neptune we should set briefly

also though is Neptune's departure from

Pisces and entry into Aries and then

Saturn's similar departure from Pisces

and entry into Aries. And um you know,

one of the things we talked about last

year a lot that I've continued to try to

learn more about and sort of marvel

about was the last time Neptune left

Pisces and moved into Aries was in the

middle of the 1800s. And it happened to

coincide with the start of the Civil War

in the US. And I was just watching um

this old like Ken Burns documentary on

the Civil War from like 1990. And at the

very beginning of it, the first like

couple episodes, they just kept

emphasizing how everybody had this like

really over idealized

um view about what the war would be like

and a lot of like illusions surrounding

war because there hadn't been like a

major major war for a generation. So a

lot of these like younger guys were

growing up not having fought in a total

war and not really knowing what that

would look like. but also that the

technology had changed so rapidly in the

intervening years that they didn't

realize that the carnage was going to be

much higher than what they were

expecting. So that people were like

going to the first Civil War battles and

like setting up picnics as spectators to

like watch this little thing and

everybody thought it would be a short

affair. Um, and there's something about

that that's that's reminiscent of this

time because like over the past year

we've seen a lot of um ideas about

like this idealization surrounding like

the warrior ethos for some for example

is something that's been discussed a lot recently.

recently.

>> Yeah, absolutely. Um, just to add to the

civil war bit um there were neither side

had any trouble filling its ranks with

soldiers during the early years. Um and

that changed dramatically just a few

years in. And it was in fact because of

the shortage of soldiers um later into

the conflict that conscription um became

US law. And interestingly enough, the

Neptune in Aries before that one, right?

It's 160 some years earlier was the

first time that Great Britain um made

conscription mandator or you know uh uh

past conscription acts right making

people become soldiers.

But yeah, that idealization, you know,

like that Neptune is always

Neptune is always dreaming and trying to

find trying to dream the the ideal of

the sign that it's in, right? And

Neptune and Pisces was um you know, it

was it was a dream of I guess it still

is for another 28 days. um a dream of um

boundless compassion, right? Like of uh

of of deep acceptance. You know, Neptune

Neptune allows in, right? And that's one

of the reasons Neptune is considered so

strong in Pisces is Pisces is very good

at allowing in um and allowing um uh uh

uh beings to be and reality um to be vast.

vast.

And so there's that like watery um dare

I say like passive or accepting ideal

the the ability to accept and imagine

the world being

excuse me vaster

um and to have good relationship to that

world right um is I I think a big part

of it and that's so different from Aries

especially the first part of Aries

that's one of

>> I'm Sorry. Um, it's one of the I think

more dramatic cusps in astrology is the

difference between

uh um between the vast acceptance and

fluidity of Pisces and the often hyperindividuality

hyperindividuality

of of Aries. Um and that hyper

individuality, the the capacity to

assert um the power of the individual in

a fantasy setting against all odds

um as um as opposed to the individual

being ex being able to accept um living

in a vast universe with powers far uh

far beyond one, you know, with with in

areas we're trying to assert ourselves.

And so that same vastness which um maybe

we tried to accept in Pisces sort of

becomes the dragon or uh or a potential

foe or danger in Aries. And so the like

the power of the individual to stand

against um becomes uh becomes part of

the ideal and then you know as you as as

you were saying the warrior ideal um

like the uh individual strength and it's

still Neptune and Neptune does like

sacrifice. So that uh that ideal of

heroic sacrifice I think we've seen

growing and will continue

um to permeate and percolate throughout culture,

culture,

>> right? Yeah. That well that was that was

one of the Civil War things is like all

the young guys at the beginning were

imagining like running into battle and

like having handtohand combat, but like

the technology had changed so that the

gun ranges extended much further than

the previous war. So they were all just

getting shot down in great numbers and

the hero heroicism immediately was cut

out of it after a few major battles and

then what set in was disillusionment

which is like that classic Neptune

dichotomy where it's like it starts with

this over idealized not clear picture of

of something but then by the end there's

this sense of disillusionment when the

reality sets in. And that's one of the

tensions that's going to be happening

especially in the next couple years as

Saturn is transiting through that sign

at the same time and we're sort of going

back and forth between these extremes of

idealization versus like overly being

focused on the cold hard reality and in

some instance like brut brutality of the situation.

situation.

>> Yeah. It's Neptune and a Mars ruled

sign, right? they like it's sad when a

dream of compassion

um proves unrealistic. Um it's often

much worse if a dream of um how should

we say a dream of struggle turns out

just to be brutality and violence,

>> right? Yeah. And I mean you making that

contrast also with Pisces and what we're

moving out of is making me think of how

even in this new era. It's like we're

starting off this era coming into it

with um recently like some of these

idealized things about like hyper

masculinity and things like that. And a

lot of like young boys coming up

listening to like podcasts and stuff

where that um weird somewhat distorted

image of masculinity is being sold to

them. But then at some point during the

course of this like the disillusionment

of some of with some of that when the

reality of of some of the shortcomings

of those things becomes probably clear.

>> Yeah, definitely there. It's definitely

if you look at like um male sort of

images, it's like out and about in the

world especially like what's been sort

of increasing over the last year. It's

starting to look like the 80s again,

right? like the the uh like the the

action hero, right, is um is sort of the

last cinematic reference we have for um

like uh for this sort of Neptune in a

fire sign um which got going um during

Neptune in uh Neptune in in Sagittarius

which didn't move out until 84. Um you

also see in uh um in some of the in you

also see uh on the internet um the

Neptune side there's increasing there's

increasing talk about um and often

transparency uh for what it's worth

about people taking massive amounts of

drugs and uh synthetic hormones to

become to look like the action heroes

and the very real health risk to that.

Um there's al there's also uh a rapid

rise um in um bas uh I don't know how to

put this dudes getting dude surgery to

look doodlier um which is also you know

Neptunian right it's like sh creating uh

shaping the image right

>> um and so yeah we have like a a moving

towards conformance with this sort of

resurgent hyper masculine ideal and I I

think we both expect that to be very

much a part of Neptune and Aries for

some time.

>> Yeah. Um the interesting part though

will be interesting with Saturn going

into Aries at the same time and putting

the brakes on certain things are

creating this tension between you know

the slow heavy nature of Saturn and the

incendiary nature of Mars as part of the

characteristic next couple of years that

we're going to be experiencing of Saturn

going through that sign and all the

>> you know Saturn and Aries people that

were born in the '9s hitting their first

Saturn return and sometimes being slowed

down or being forced to have restrained

action, encountering limitations on

different areas where you expect freedom

freedom of movement as being like

primary keywords during that time.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. That it's

it's really interesting. It's going to

be really interesting to see to what

degree is the Neptune and Aries current

um this like valorization of the uh the

in individual action hero. Um, is it

slowed down for a little bit by the

co-presence of Saturn? Um, probably. But

is it also, how should we say, made very

real given Saturn's ability to

concretize things? Um, it's an it's it's

very strange to start um, a 14-year

Neptune period with a conjunction to

Saturn. Saturn is much more our planet

of slowing down and uh a slowing down

unto death, approaching the end of

things, right? The last leg of the

journey, but we're we're starting with

that like the planet of endings and

legacies and slow accumulated structure.

>> Yeah. Well, let's talk about that. Let's

talk about Saturn and Aries maybe on its

own for a minute. Um just to get some

clear keywords out. When I think about

that placement, I think about um like

carrying an acute irritation or a burden

over an extended period of time and

having to develop an endurance of

stamina basically cuz one of the people

I think about with that placement who I

know is about his Saturn return is um

Mr. Beast, who's like the biggest

YouTuber, but all of his um most of his

YouTube videos are about like these

challenges where at first it was him

challenging himself to do something that

was irritating or unbearable for like an

extended amount of time, but now it's

like he's turned that into game shows

where like a bunch of people have to do

that over a period of time. Like one of

his videos was like being chained to

your ex partner for like 30 days or

something like that. and can you survive

that 30-day like irritation or like

stamina challenge and different things

like that,

>> right? So, and yeah, like the creation

of orals where it's something it's

something that you have to endure for x

amount of time, which

>> is definitely how I feel about Saturn

and Aries going into it and based on

last summer,

>> right? Yeah. because it's like it's

something that you would rather not do,

but then there's a goal or like there's

a pot of cash basically at the end of

it. And the and the dilemma is if you

can put up with this irritation and if

you can um expend a huge amount of

energy and stamina to keep yourself in

one place even though you'd like to be

moving somewhere else, then you will get

this reward at the end of that long

period. And I think that's going to be

one of the key words for all of us as

we're experiencing this Saturn and Aries

transit over the next two years in

different parts of our life and as it's

going through different houses in each

of our charts.

>> Yeah. Um hopefully there are rewards. Um

there will certainly be enduring irritation.

irritation.

>> Yeah. Well, some the the flip side of

that, of course, is sometimes there can

be extreme frustration and extreme

burnout and feeling like hitting a brick

wall with that as well, which can be the

downside, especially when you combine it

with Neptune, which can bring some

feelings of like fatigue and exhaustion.

Yeah, absolutely. Um, and that's part of

that's that's part of the unusual nature

of Saturn in Aries. Um, Saturn is in its

fall in Aries, right? It's in its

depression. It's a very difficult place

um for Saturn to uh communicate its core

nature which is slow, cold, glacial, inexurable

inexurable

um you know maybe crushing in its weight

and coldness um but is certainly not

fast and irritating right um whereas

that is the nature of Aries. Aries is

fast and irritating. It's a Mars ruled

sign. It's pokey. it moves uh it likes

to move quick. Um and so we have uh you

know uh you know we have this this uh

how should we say builtin

um contrast between

um like young and fast and old and slow

between hot and cold um and between how

should we say authoritative

um and uh and uh frivolous um that often

makes Saturn and Aries as a transit more

challenging to endure because you. It's

not just playing by Saturn's rules. It's

not just enduring the slow and the

heavy, and it's not just moving fast.

It's a very awkward combination, which

um uh in the past has been exemplified.

One of my favorite examples of this was

the last emperor of China in uh 1908

um during a Saturn Aries period um who

is a toddler. And so you had to obey the

toddler, but the toddler wasn't really

in control, but kind of was in control.

Um, and so, um, yeah, like there there's

this weird contrast between, um,

authority and, um, like inexperience and

youthfulness. And that also speaks to

Saturn Aries is often uh, in that it is

in the place of the exaltation of the

sun, right? The sun is uh at its best

and brightest in Aries. And with Saturn

there, we often have a troubling uh we

often either one see trouble for those

in authority, whether they um deserve it

or not. And then we also often see

leaders who

um I should say um do not represent the

uh the solar ideal of the son's exaltation.

exaltation.

um such as the um the toddler emperor um

the last time that Saturn was in Aries

was during Bill Clinton's second term,

right? And which was largely paralyzed

uh due to the sex scandal. Um and so

that that sort of scandal for leaders or

um inappropriate leaders um being in uh

uh being a point of contention is very

common historically for Saturn and Aries.

Aries.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. And

setting up like authority con conflicts

and um you know last summer when the

Saturn Neptune conjunction was coming so

close for the first time there was all

the explosion of different um things

that were being like covered up and

there was like widespread realizations

about um different things that were

being hidden or things that were thought

to be conspiracy theories like suddenly

becoming real or becoming validated. And

the continual

I I'm sure like continual stories

related to that as Saturn Neptune grows

even closer.

>> Yeah. Yeah, that's a great point. Yeah.

A lot of um a lot of what's been coming

out serves to

how should we say uh create scandal for

those in authority or reveal the fallen

actions and mindset, right? Like that's

very much in line. I wasn't even

thinking of that. Um, one well it makes

me before you say the point makes me

think of the point you made in the last

forecast of in December which is just

>> that we've talked about that sometimes

the Saturn Neptune conjunctions is are

like um imaginary like like let's say

conspiracy theories for the lack of a

better word or there's probably a better

word for that but like the Salem witch

trials for example was like a Saturn

Neptune conjunction I believe or you

point we've both looked at like the

satanic panic in the last Saturn Neptune

conjunction in the8s 80s um was was one

of those things where it was just like

there was this belief that there was

like this widespread thing happening but

then in retrospect once we got out of it

it turned out that it wasn't as

widespread as people feared that that

things might be happening. And so on the

one hand you have that which is you have

the the fears surrounding something that

may not actually be happening in reality

and that you don't realize until you

come out of it. But then on the other

side, there's this weird flip side of

the coin where it's sometimes the

confirmation of bizarre like

conspiracies and other things like that

and the attempt to suppress them that

are actually and cover them up that are

actually taking place.

>> Yeah. And the um being put in a position

not to be able to know um what the limit of

Yeah. Being put in a position where you

can't know at the time is very classic

Saturn Neptune. Like how deep does the

rabbit hole go? How deep is the

corruption? Like I is it, you know, uh I

didn't think that was possible, but now

I see that my ideas about this were

wrong, but like where does it where does

the thing end? You have like this aerosolized

aerosolized

um fear um from Saturn. Um, and with the

moral panics, right, we had the uh we

had the the the peak of the satanic

panic last Saturn Neptune and then the

two previous ones were red scare one and two,

two,

>> right? Where the fear those like in the

1950s is one was interesting because on

the one hand that's peaking with that

Saturn Neptune conjunction and you have

um who was the politician at the time

who was just

>> McCarthy. says the peak of the McCarthy

era where they're just accusing everyone

of being communists, even people that

aren't, and then people's lives are

being ruined over false charges and

conspiracy theories. But then on the

other hand, at the same time, you did

have like legitimate people that were

working for the Soviet Union as spies.

And that was part of how the nuclear

program, for example, there were people

inside the Manhattan Project that were

leaking secrets to the Soviet Union. And

then that became a flash point as well,

the realization that in some instances

some of those things were were actually happening.

happening.

>> Yeah. And there that was the dawning of

a very real and very um at times lethal

and consequential

rival between two between the USSR's

version of communism in America's

version of capitalism. like it was a

real thing, but it was also a lot of the

things that got said about a lot of

people were fake, right? Which is why

it's so why the Neptune Saturn

conjunctions are so hard, especially in

the middle of them, to navigate. Cuz if

it was just if there was just like,

well, there's one lie and one truth, and

you just have to pick the right one, be

much easier. we'd all we'd all we'd do

much we'd do much better. We'd spend

less time like gnawing at the problem.

>> Yeah, absolutely. Um, some last key

words that were coming up for me as I

was thinking about Saturn and Aries are

things like military discipline, martial

arts, uh, channeling one's anger,

sometimes positively and sometimes not

positively, military restructuring, like

we started started seeing a lot of that

last year when Saturn dipped into Aries

over the summer. Um but also sometimes

like conflict with authority and

authoritarianism as like a uh Saturn in

Aries type manifestation as well when

you put Saturn and Mars together.

>> Yeah. Um one of the things um I think

about with Saturn in Aries is uh in

contrast to Saturn's exaltation in Libra

is why is Saturn exalted in Libra?

What's so good about those rules? um

it's because they're based on fairness

and rules that are based on fairness

endure a long time, right? Whereas um

with Saturn and Aries, you get the

enforcement of

of of rules or the formulation of rules

um that are just brute force, right? And

brute force is always a uh how should we

say uh always has a shortened timeline

like as as soon as people can resist law

by brute force um they will right

because there's no there's no consent

Libra like Saturn and Libra is always

about mutual consent right those laws

last um but if you know and yeah and

that goes for governance also goes for

parenting right if you're um it's the if

your only answer to your child is

because I said so, right? Like that's

going to run out real quick. Um like

you've got to have reason. Um uh yeah,

you've got to have reason behind your

laws if they're to have longevity.

>> Yeah, absolutely. All right, we could

keep talking about the these three

combinations forever, but I want to move

us on to our next major thing in the

overview section, which is our first

eclipse season, which weirdly actually

begins in February, overlapping with the

uh Saturn Neptune conjunction and then

also trails over into March. So, let me

share the

diagram for eclipse season because this

establishes the ranges that I've

established over the past few years for

eclipses, which is that they begin about

a week before the eclipse and it ends a

week after the second eclipse. So you

end up with a time frame that looks

roughly like this where our eclipse

season is going to be roughly from about

February 9th uh peaking with the first

eclipse on February 17th in Aquarius

which is very close to the Saturn

Neptune conjunction and then there's

that intense phase in between the first

eclipse until you get to the second

eclipse which is a lunar eclipse in

Virgo on March 3rd and then about a week

after that the eclipse season trails off

around March 11th or so. So this is a

interesting and important new um eclipse

season because on the one hand we get

the next installment in the Virgo

eclipse series which has been going on

for over a year now going back to 2025

but also we had the first Pisces one in

late 2024. But this one's unique cuz we

get the first eclipse in the sign of

Aquarius, which is the beginning of a

new se sequence of eclipses that's going

to be happening in Aquarius and Leo over

the course of the next year or two. So

this is opening up an entirely new

story, especially for each of us

personally in a new part of each of our

charts as the eclipses this year start

shifting from the Virgo Pisces axis to

the Leo Aquarius axis with the keyword I

always use of being major endings and

major beginnings in whatever area of the

chart eclipses start to fall. And this

one is especially oriented towards um

new and how should we say confusing and

potentially monstrous beginnings. Um as

it occurs um like 3 days before the

exact the one exact Saturn Neptune

conjunction and occurring in Aquarius.

it is ruled by Saturn which is very

tightly conjunct Neptune. And so this

eclipse uh just so happens to be in a

perfect position um to

magnify Yeah. just to uh to further

magnify the now exact Saturn Neptune

conjunction in Aries which is pretty

wild. I was um repeatedly I kind of kept

coming back to this cuz like really it

happens right right at the same time it

is ruled by Saturn and so part of it

will be just a um a a wild loudspeaker

for all these Saturn Neptune in Aries

themes. Um but of course it has its its

own its own characteristics and

darkness. Um,

>> yeah. The other thing I think it's

really going to magnify is the Pluto

transit through Aquarius.

>> Yeah, that too.

>> So, this is our first eclipse in

Aquarius. And Pluto's already been, you

know, moving back and forth, uh, trying

to go into Aquarius since what, 2023.

Um, but now it's fully in Aquarius and

now we get our first eclipse there. And

to me, whenever an eclipse happens in

the same sign as another planet, it will

tend to magnify and exacerbate whatever

that planet is already doing in that

sign. And you can start seeing some of

the most important turning points happen

when eclipses start hitting there. So so

much of what we've seen is as soon as

Pluto started going to Aquarius, we had

the explosion of all of the AI

artificial intelligence stuff and the

artificial intelligence

revolution or whatever you want to call

it really starting to set in. So that at

this point, even though we're only 2 or

3 years into it, it seems like AI is now

like integrated into everything. Like

it's in like PowerPoint, it's in like

Photoshop, it's in so many different

programs that we all use on a daily

basis. Like Gmail has a whole AI thing.

You could just go down the list of all

of these different things that we all

use on a daily basis that the AI has

found its way into at this point. But

somehow this year, all of that is going

to become magnified really rapidly. Not

just because of like eclipses starting

to happen in Aquarius with Pluto, but

also because this year we get our first

of two exact trines from Uranus and

Gemini trining Pluto, which is also

going to speed up and quicken the pace

of some of that technological development.

development.

>> Yeah, absolutely.

It's um yeah, I don't know what's bigger

than everywhere,

right? what's more present, omnipresent,

even more omnipresent, more deeply rooted.

rooted.

>> Yeah. I mean, that's what we've got to

figure out. I mean, like like how can it

go further from here? I mean one of the

ways since it is coinciding with the

Saturn Neptune conjunction which is

bringing the reality distortion and the

difficulty telling what's real versus

what's fake as obviously this is the

completion of the um you know video

thing in terms of not having videos

generated like anybody now can create a

video fully manifesting visually an idea

or an imagination they have and to put

it into

real form or some sort of form in a

video. And I know you've been a little

skeptical about whether, you know, we're

at the point where you can tell the

difference between what's real and

what's not, but I feel like we're going

to hit that threshold here in February

where even you, my friend, might be

surprised at at uh being fooled once or twice.

twice.

>> Oh, yeah. I'm sure I'll get fooled once

or twice. Um

I'm yeah I'm skeptical of a lot of

things uh surrounding AI but um yeah

we'll see what the ceiling is and we'll

see you know what it's useful for other

than pictures

>> but forget about me um one but so one

way that um we can as uh one another uh

one important way um that AI can get

bigger or more omniresent is the social

how should we say uh social acceptance

and rejection and the like the

permeation of culture um the cultural

layer is a is I think there's much more

to come uh much more to come in 2026 you

know we've started to see various

forms of embrace as well as reaction

against and I think that will increase

that will continue significantly

And that is

um I think I I think that looking at the

eclipse cycle moving into the same axis

as Pluto absolutely will be part of

that. I think it will also play into

another Pluto and Aquarius theme which

is rising alarm about inequality.

um which many would would argue is um

you know competing for or some would say

is clear the one of the most important

issues today and that rhymes perfectly

with the last time Pluto was in Aquarius

when we had uh when we had the French Revolution

Revolution

right that's a great point because it is

creating a new social hierarchy in which

you have these handfuls companies that

have these ultra powerful AIs that

everyone's using and that is informing

different people's opinions because

people are starting to switch from using

search engines to using AIs to search

and look up information about

everything. But then depending on what

AI you're using, it's being slanted

based on different political views. It's

being slanted based on different

geopolitical things. and a a relatively

small number of people or corporations

like control those AIs and that then

filters down to everybody else. So, it's interesting.

interesting.

>> Yeah. Uh and in addition, um the types

of labor that it looks like AI will most

easily and effectively be able to

replace are the um are the lower point

the should we say the lower rungs on the

ladder. Um just as an example in law

it's not high it's not uh successful

attorneys with 30 years of litigation

under their belt that will be replaced

by AI. It's people getting their first

job. It's parallegals. It's um you know

it's the uh it's like the bottom third

of the of the hierarchy where people get

their start. And so there is growing

concern about um uh about entrylevel or

lower tier positions that then you know

are the way you get to higher tier

positions um being disappeared um or

becoming becoming much more scarce.

Yeah, that's a great point. I forgot

because the robotics side is a whole

other piece of that that's going to

become increasingly

obvious as a part of this and an

outgrowth of Pluto and Aquarius over the

next 20 years that we still have between

it before it finishes in 2040. Um, and

the combination of humanoid robots

becoming uh more common in society while

artificial intelligence is getting

better and better. And one of the things

I was realizing that's going to become

an issue is like humans are trying to

create really a bunch of companies and

even governments are like pushing to

create a new sentient species as fast as

they can. But then one of the things is

once they create that sentient species

to whatever extent they're successful

they one of the rules is that humans

want to make it fully under the control

of humans. Um, but there's a tension

there because if you actually do

successfully create something that's

sentient, um, you're creating a rule on

it right from the start that essentially

you're going to be enslaving it

basically like enslaving a sentience and

that's going to create all sorts of like

social issues and conflicts at some

point in the future as you have

different groups of humans um, coming to

different conclusions about whether you

can like enslave another sentient

species or whether that's fundamentally

ally wrong for philosophical and

religious purposes like I think is

actually going to become a major thing

during the course of some of this.

>> Yeah. if um something resembling

sentience can be achieved that opens

that very large can of worms,

right? Cuz one of the things is it's

going to be a different sentience than

what humans have. And some humans then

because it's different than what we have

will classify it as lesser and therefore

not um something not deserving of of not

something not deserving of freedom

versus others are going to fall down and

say even though it's different um

because it has sentience it's deserving

of freedom and this is going to create

some social conflicts in the future.

>> Yeah. And it would be if that if we get

to that place, it'll be interesting to

see how the reams of science fiction

about that problem match the reality of it.

it.

>> Yeah. Well, it's because that's like one

of the reasons I was like thinking about

that a lot recently is because I was

studying the Uranus and Gemini period

during the civil war and especially the

Mars Uranus conjunctions during that

time. And that became the core argument.

And one of the core things that the

civil war was about was about slavery

and about like um you know a group of

people um taking away and the

deprivation of freedom on a whole class

of humans versus the attempt to restore

or give freedom to an entire class of

humans. And I I realized at a certain

point that that was happening at that

time during those Mars Uranus

conjunctions in Gemini in the US uh

civil war because that was the signature

in the US birth chart which is a Mars

Uranus conjunction in Gemini. And at a

we we're always used to thinking of that

conjunction as having to do with like

liberation and freedom and things like

that. But I realized at a certain point

that Mars, you know, in vadius balance

in the second century, he also says that

Mars can be about the taking away of

good things or the deprivation of

something or the subjugation of

somebody. And so the negative side of

that sometimes of that Mars Uranus

conjunction is like the deprivation of

freedom or the taking away of liberty

and then the conflict that that sets up

um when freedom or liberty is being

taken away from like a class of of

beings. Yeah. Absolutely right. One, why

would you have to fight for freedom if

there wasn't a contending force,

>> right? Yeah. Exactly. So, it's like one

of my questions on the horizon is like

how could that manifest again in the

future and and what where will the there

be classes that are being deprived

freedom or in which there's a legitimate

arguments about the giving or taking

away of freedom of some group of people,

let's say.

>> Yeah. So, should we use that as a

transition into Uranus and Gemini?

Because I think that's a pretty good one.

one.

>> That is a great one. Um, let me just

>> Okay, let me just add to that that

Uranus and Gemini does give us basically

a history of um liberal philosophy of

like the idea of governance that prizes

individual liberty and freedom. um not

just starting with the US revolution but

in the cycle before that we had John

Lock publishing all of his major works

which were used more or less as a

blueprint by that US government and

we've had struggles around and um redefin

redefin

uh uh further development of those ideas

in every Uranus in Gemini since then.

>> Absolutely. Let me show I want to ask

you a question about that. Let me show

the diagram first though just to set up

the baseline. So this is diagram for

Uranus and Gemini which is going to last

from 2025 through 2033.

And we had our first like dip into that

last year from starting July 7th through

November 7th of 2025. But then Uranus

retrograded back into Taurus where it's

going to spend the first few months of

2026. But then starting on April 25th,

2026, Uranus is going to move fully into

Gemini where it's going to stay for

quite some time until 2032 and 2033.

So this is a super important transit we

talked about many times in the past,

especially because the United States was

born when Uranus was in Gemini and 80

every 84 years when Uranus comes back to

Gemini, the US has had a major conflict

including the Civil War. Well, the

Revolutionary War, then the Civil War,

and then World War II, and then it

brings us to today. So, um, part of what

you're saying though is that Uranus and

Gemini ideal and period goes back even

before the American Revolution.

>> Yeah. Yeah. that the um like the idea of

a uh of governance which um privileges

individual freedom um which is not the

historical norm which you know that's

where we get liberal from not to be

confused with sort of current factions

but like the grand tradition of

liberalism um starts one Uranus cycle

before the American Revolution and then

every time we get Uranus Gemini um

there's struggle over that idea uh and

ideal of governance as well as further

um further definition or redefinition.

And so, you know, it does seem like

we're at the we're at a place where like

liberal democracy needs to be caught up.

Um, like you know there there's a little

bit of uh how should we say like there's

where we were left after World War II

and then there's everything that's

happened since but the world has changed

quite a bit like in that Uranus and

Gemini serves as a very dramatic

refresh and sort of reincarnation of

those ideals into the now current period

of history. It sure seems like we're due

for that.

>> Yeah. Well, I was watching um that new

Ken Burns documentary on the American

Revolutionary War that everyone's

watching right now. It's amazing. I'd

recommend everyone watch it because it

provides so much insight into the Uranus

and Gemini period from the founding of

the United States and what that was all

about, but also a lot of things that are

very important to us today as we have a

recurrence of that transit. But one of

the things it was really emphasizing

that you're talking about here is how um

up until that point like the right to

rule and lead a country was largely

hereditary. It was something like one

king inherited from another king and

that's basically like rulership and

those are the people that deserve to be

in power and are invested in that. But

that was one of the things that was so

radical about the US at the time was um

yeah setting up like a representative

democracy basically or republic and um

the right to rule being partially based

on the consent of the the people.

>> Yeah. And that Yeah. And I should say um

yep um valuing um in the individual

within the society's

um range of actions like uh their

personal freedom as well as their consent their their ability to choose

consent their their ability to choose governance or participate in a choice of

governance or participate in a choice of governance as well as a choice of life

governance as well as a choice of life activities, right? Was um very novel. um

activities, right? Was um very novel. um when uh like the United States was the

when uh like the United States was the largest experiment um of that kind. Not

largest experiment um of that kind. Not that there are no other instances in

that there are no other instances in history, but um you know a quite novel

history, but um you know a quite novel experiment that certainly at first in no

experiment that certainly at first in no way lived up to its own ideals. Um but

way lived up to its own ideals. Um but in many ways has slowly gotten better

in many ways has slowly gotten better and worse and better and worse and

and worse and better and worse and better and worse at living up to them.

better and worse at living up to them. but has not completely abandoned them

but has not completely abandoned them yet.

yet. >> Yeah. Yeah. Well, and there was so much

>> Yeah. Yeah. Well, and there was so much idealis idealism surrounding a lot of

idealis idealism surrounding a lot of that at the time. But one of the things,

that at the time. But one of the things, you know, cuz we've been focusing on the

you know, cuz we've been focusing on the Uranus return of the United States so

Uranus return of the United States so much over the past several years. One of

much over the past several years. One of my earliest episodes of the astrology

my earliest episodes of the astrology podcast was actually about that back in

podcast was actually about that back in 2013 when Nick and I did an an episode

2013 when Nick and I did an an episode about that and just noting that

about that and just noting that correlation that astrologers have been

correlation that astrologers have been noting since the 1800s, which is just

noting since the 1800s, which is just every time Uranus comes back to that

every time Uranus comes back to that sign, there's a reassessment of some of

sign, there's a reassessment of some of that. There's always a major conflict be

that. There's always a major conflict be because Mars is conjunct Uranus in the

because Mars is conjunct Uranus in the in the US birth chart, but sometimes

in the US birth chart, but sometimes there's a a reassessment of some of the

there's a a reassessment of some of the ideals that were built into some of the

ideals that were built into some of the founding documents of the United States

founding documents of the United States like the Declaration of Independence and

like the Declaration of Independence and that notion of like all men are created

that notion of like all men are created equal and other things like that get

equal and other things like that get reassessed sometimes during those times

reassessed sometimes during those times and and nowhere was that more clear than

and and nowhere was that more clear than during the Civil War um when that became

during the Civil War um when that became the focal point of it. But even during

the focal point of it. But even during World War II, some of those themes were

World War II, some of those themes were coming up as well because I noticed, for

coming up as well because I noticed, for example, on the first Mars Uranus

example, on the first Mars Uranus conjunction of World War II, like

conjunction of World War II, like Roosevelt signs the documents to set up

Roosevelt signs the documents to set up some of the first Japanese internment

some of the first Japanese internment camps. So already there's these issues

camps. So already there's these issues about creating and sometimes subjugating

about creating and sometimes subjugating people based on different like classes

people based on different like classes in society and things like that.

in society and things like that. >> Yeah, absolutely. And um right there's

>> Yeah, absolutely. And um right there's that same um I should say the same um

that same um I should say the same um Mars Mars Uranus the um the embattled

Mars Mars Uranus the um the embattled ideals or freedom uh being endangered or

ideals or freedom uh being endangered or people's capacity to choose being being

people's capacity to choose being being threatened or coerced and so

threatened or coerced and so necessitating a struggle over it.

necessitating a struggle over it. Another thing that happened during the

Another thing that happened during the World War II era was the framing of uh

World War II era was the framing of uh negative rights. on that the idea is

negative rights. on that the idea is that a person um in addition to having

that a person um in addition to having the freedom to

the freedom to um I don't know leave your house um

um I don't know leave your house um whenever you want to right as a positive

whenever you want to right as a positive right um there what was uh uh something

right um there what was uh uh something that was added at that time was the idea

that was added at that time was the idea of negative rights of being freedom from

of negative rights of being freedom from right being um free from

right being um free from um you know um harassment enslavement to

um you know um harassment enslavement to be free from things as well as free too.

be free from things as well as free too. Um, and there was a very important

Um, and there was a very important document at that time like the framing

document at that time like the framing of negative rights, but just as an

of negative rights, but just as an example of the further like thinking and

example of the further like thinking and development of that um that set of

development of that um that set of liberal ideals,

liberal ideals, >> right? Yeah. Or free from like in the

>> right? Yeah. Or free from like in the revolutionary war, free from taxation

revolutionary war, free from taxation without representation for example.

without representation for example. >> Right. Right. Exactly.

>> Right. Right. Exactly. >> Yeah. So, one of the reasons I'm

>> Yeah. So, one of the reasons I'm bringing up Mars, Uranus, because this

bringing up Mars, Uranus, because this year on July 4th, weirdly, on the

year on July 4th, weirdly, on the birthday of the United States, what's

birthday of the United States, what's widely recognized as the birthday of the

widely recognized as the birthday of the United States and the Declaration of

United States and the Declaration of Independence, the signing of it, um,

Independence, the signing of it, um, when there was a Mars Uranus conjunction

when there was a Mars Uranus conjunction back in 1776,

back in 1776, we get a Mars Uranus conjunction in

we get a Mars Uranus conjunction in Gemini, just like it was back in 1776.

Gemini, just like it was back in 1776. And this is an incredibly important

And this is an incredibly important signature. So much so that I just did a

signature. So much so that I just did a whole episode and research project with

whole episode and research project with Nick Dig and where we went back and

Nick Dig and where we went back and looked at Mars, Uranus conjunctions in

looked at Mars, Uranus conjunctions in Gemini in US history and found that they

Gemini in US history and found that they always represented major turning points

always represented major turning points during the course of the the war or the

during the course of the the war or the conflict that was taking place during

conflict that was taking place during those times which were the Revolutionary

those times which were the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and World War II. And

War, the Civil War and World War II. And usually the Mars Uranus conjunctions at

usually the Mars Uranus conjunctions at the beginning of that period after

the beginning of that period after Uranus had just gone into Gemini, the

Uranus had just gone into Gemini, the first or second conjunction was usually

first or second conjunction was usually the starting point of that war or that

the starting point of that war or that conflict. And then the Mars Uranus

conflict. And then the Mars Uranus conjunctions towards the end of that

conjunctions towards the end of that period of Mars and Gemini were sometimes

period of Mars and Gemini were sometimes the resolution and the bringing to

the resolution and the bringing to completion of that conflict. So if that

completion of that conflict. So if that pattern holds, then it means that this

pattern holds, then it means that this first conjunction this year and the

first conjunction this year and the second conjunction 2 years from now in

second conjunction 2 years from now in 2028 should be the the start and the

2028 should be the the start and the flash point of whatever this major

flash point of whatever this major conflict is that we're looking at over

conflict is that we're looking at over the course of the next 7 years. Whether

the course of the next 7 years. Whether that's an internal conflict like the

that's an internal conflict like the Civil War was or a major external

Civil War was or a major external conflict like World War II was. um the

conflict like World War II was. um the flash points and the most important

flash points and the most important turning points are going to be those

turning points are going to be those Mars Uranus conjunctions starting July

Mars Uranus conjunctions starting July 4th of 2026.

4th of 2026. >> Yeah.

>> Yeah. >> Yeah. How do you feel about Mars Uranus?

>> Yeah. How do you feel about Mars Uranus? What do you have to say or what are your

What do you have to say or what are your key words for that combination?

key words for that combination? Um it's

Um it's an explosive combination.

an explosive combination. It is a precedent shattering and setting

It is a precedent shattering and setting combination.

combination. um rules are broken which then sets you

um rules are broken which then sets you know it breaks a norm to set a new norm

know it breaks a norm to set a new norm um which is often quite

um which is often quite um how should we say unnorm

um how should we say unnorm um it's a quite violent combination

um it's a quite violent combination um which and it that violence can be

um which and it that violence can be enacted by people but we also see crazy

enacted by people but we also see crazy accidents um during Mars Uranus

accidents um during Mars Uranus conjunctions that um create a lot that

conjunctions that um create a lot that uh do a lot of destruction and may cause

uh do a lot of destruction and may cause loss of life. Again, we have those both

loss of life. Again, we have those both on purpose as well as by accident. Um

on purpose as well as by accident. Um it's, you know, the it they set things

it's, you know, the it they set things off, right? It's um you it's very much

off, right? It's um you it's very much the quality. I mean, one of the things

the quality. I mean, one of the things that you see with the history of Mars

that you see with the history of Mars Uranus conjunctions is you literally see

Uranus conjunctions is you literally see uh accidental giant explosions where a

uh accidental giant explosions where a flame gets too close to a gigantic

flame gets too close to a gigantic powder keg or the equivalent thereof. Um

powder keg or the equivalent thereof. Um and um you know everything goes up in a

and um you know everything goes up in a second. Um and so you have this like

second. Um and so you have this like latent power um like the all this latent

latent power um like the all this latent energy and then Mars provides the um the

energy and then Mars provides the um the strike of the match or the little bit of

strike of the match or the little bit of flame and that can be done

flame and that can be done intentionally, it can be done

intentionally, it can be done unintentionally. Um but yeah, they're

unintentionally. Um but yeah, they're like flashoint is a is a great term for

like flashoint is a is a great term for the for what they do.

the for what they do. >> Yeah, for sure. I mean, the most biggest

>> Yeah, for sure. I mean, the most biggest example of that, of course, was uh the

example of that, of course, was uh the end of World War II in 1945, the Mars

end of World War II in 1945, the Mars Uranus conjunction in Gemini that

Uranus conjunction in Gemini that coincided with the dropping of the

coincided with the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Um, and that huge explosion, but also

Um, and that huge explosion, but also the huge turning point in humanity

the huge turning point in humanity technologically that that represented

technologically that that represented where suddenly humanity could could

where suddenly humanity could could destroy itself for like the first time

destroy itself for like the first time in its history after that point as it

in its history after that point as it started basically the cold war from that

started basically the cold war from that point forward.

point forward. >> Yeah. Precedent ending or precedent

>> Yeah. Precedent ending or precedent shattering but also new world be

shattering but also new world be beginning.

beginning. >> Right. It's the atomic age.

>> Right. It's the atomic age. Yeah, and that's actually one prediction

Yeah, and that's actually one prediction from our my our last year's forecast

from our my our last year's forecast that I made that's been aging um

that I made that's been aging um unfortunately very well, which is that I

unfortunately very well, which is that I thought Uranus returning to Gemini,

thought Uranus returning to Gemini, where it was when the atomic weapons

where it was when the atomic weapons were first created and used would bring

were first created and used would bring us back to a period in which those were

us back to a period in which those were more prominent again. And unfortunately

more prominent again. And unfortunately in the news over the past several

in the news over the past several months, we've been inching back towards

months, we've been inching back towards that with the US saying it's going to

that with the US saying it's going to start testing nuclear weapons again. and

start testing nuclear weapons again. and um other new stories coming up with

um other new stories coming up with nuclear weapons with other countries

nuclear weapons with other countries over the course of the past several

over the course of the past several months in a way that's very unsettling

months in a way that's very unsettling um as we are heading into a series of

um as we are heading into a series of four Mars Uranus conjunctions in Gemini

four Mars Uranus conjunctions in Gemini over the next several years.

over the next several years. >> Yeah. Well, I'll say what I said last

>> Yeah. Well, I'll say what I said last time, which is I agree and that I think

time, which is I agree and that I think we will be very lucky to get to the

we will be very lucky to get to the other end of this Uranus and Gemini

other end of this Uranus and Gemini period with no nuclear weapons being

period with no nuclear weapons being deployed.

deployed. >> Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Um, okay. So other

>> Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Um, okay. So other key words that are important for Mars

key words that are important for Mars Uranus, but also Uranus more broadly is,

Uranus, but also Uranus more broadly is, you know, revolution and rebellion, um,

you know, revolution and rebellion, um, secession and separation, uh, like the

secession and separation, uh, like the splitting apart of something. And that

splitting apart of something. And that was something that was interesting

was something that was interesting learning more about the Revolutionary

learning more about the Revolutionary War is realizing even though we classify

War is realizing even though we classify like the Civil War itself in the 1800s

like the Civil War itself in the 1800s as a civil war, the Revolutionary War

as a civil war, the Revolutionary War was actually kind of a civil war as well

was actually kind of a civil war as well because it was, you know, the colonists

because it was, you know, the colonists were still part of the British and they

were still part of the British and they decided to to break away and secede

decided to to break away and secede essentially and form their own country.

essentially and form their own country. And even within the US mainland, there

And even within the US mainland, there was a lot of conflict between

was a lot of conflict between revolutionary forces versus loyalists

revolutionary forces versus loyalists who wanted to stay part of the British

who wanted to stay part of the British crown basically. So that the

crown basically. So that the revolutionary war was not just an in

revolutionary war was not just an in external war with another country. Um,

external war with another country. Um, which is how we look at it in

which is how we look at it in retrospect, but it was also in some ways

retrospect, but it was also in some ways like a civil war and the breaking away

like a civil war and the breaking away or separation or secession of one piece

or separation or secession of one piece of a country from another.

of a country from another. >> 100%. Yeah. Ask King George. that was uh

>> 100%. Yeah. Ask King George. that was uh that was 100% a civil war. Um and and

that was 100% a civil war. Um and and you you see really clearly the uh the

you you see really clearly the uh the the basic Gemini symbolism of division,

the basic Gemini symbolism of division, right? Of fragmentation of um dividing

right? Of fragmentation of um dividing and division and further subdivision.

and division and further subdivision. >> Yeah. and and also um rapid

>> Yeah. and and also um rapid technological advancement, especially in

technological advancement, especially in communications and transportation

communications and transportation was a huge part of not just World War

was a huge part of not just World War II, which is the most obvious one, but

II, which is the most obvious one, but also the Civil War had a huge huge

also the Civil War had a huge huge amount of that as well. There's a huge

amount of that as well. There's a huge amount of um things involving

amount of um things involving communications with like the use of

communications with like the use of telegraphs and telegraph lines in war

telegraphs and telegraph lines in war for the first time that were like

for the first time that were like delivering battlefield updates nearly in

delivering battlefield updates nearly in real time to the White House for like

real time to the White House for like the first time uh but also developments

the first time uh but also developments in transportation such as the use of

in transportation such as the use of like railroads um to help facilitate the

like railroads um to help facilitate the war efforts for the first time. So

war efforts for the first time. So >> yeah, it was the first it was the first

>> yeah, it was the first it was the first um war that used railroads for logistics

um war that used railroads for logistics and it changed everything.

and it changed everything. >> Yeah. So that's an important precedent.

>> Yeah. So that's an important precedent. And then of course um we also had a lot

And then of course um we also had a lot of rapid technological de development in

of rapid technological de development in both wars with the Mars Uranus

both wars with the Mars Uranus conjunctions in weaponry like um more

conjunctions in weaponry like um more like guns that could shoot further and

like guns that could shoot further and more accurately in the Civil War. And

more accurately in the Civil War. And then of course in World War II we have

then of course in World War II we have the development of the atomic bomb and

the development of the atomic bomb and the um deployment of that for the first

the um deployment of that for the first time. So, I'm bringing this up because

time. So, I'm bringing this up because th these are some of the themes that

th these are some of the themes that we're going to be experiencing with

we're going to be experiencing with Uranus and Gemini and especially the

Uranus and Gemini and especially the Mars Uranus conjunctions over the course

Mars Uranus conjunctions over the course of the next seven years as we have just

of the next seven years as we have just rapid advancements in technology and

rapid advancements in technology and communications like even more so than

communications like even more so than now cuz like right now everyone could

now cuz like right now everyone could hear that and be like well yeah that's

hear that and be like well yeah that's already happening but um we're going to

already happening but um we're going to see an acceleration of that I think

see an acceleration of that I think beyond what we can even fully anticipate

beyond what we can even fully anticipate at this stage. um but also in

at this stage. um but also in transportation at the same time. And

transportation at the same time. And then finally also in terms of military

then finally also in terms of military technology and the new deployment of

technology and the new deployment of technology in wars and conflicts in ways

technology in wars and conflicts in ways that's new and innovative and

that's new and innovative and potentially more destructive than what

potentially more destructive than what we've seen up to this point.

we've seen up to this point. >> Absolutely. Um some people are already

>> Absolutely. Um some people are already calling this the dawn of a revolution in

calling this the dawn of a revolution in um military affairs that thing armies

um military affairs that thing armies are going to look very different on the

are going to look very different on the other side of this. Um and yeah I as you

other side of this. Um and yeah I as you were saying I I I I don't think many

were saying I I I I don't think many people realize how technologically

people realize how technologically revolutionary the civil war was in the

revolutionary the civil war was in the United States. Um I was reading recently

United States. Um I was reading recently and just stumbled across um some of the

and just stumbled across um some of the across a thing. It was talking about how

across a thing. It was talking about how all of the European powers were

all of the European powers were fascinated with the American Civil War.

fascinated with the American Civil War. Um not because of the moral issues so

Um not because of the moral issues so much but because it was um in many ways

much but because it was um in many ways the first uh the first modern war

the first uh the first modern war because it was the first time we had

because it was the first time we had repeating rifles, right? Aka machine

repeating rifles, right? Aka machine what would become machine guns. uh

what would become machine guns. uh submarines, ironclad ships. The first

submarines, ironclad ships. The first aircraft carrier um was for launching

aircraft carrier um was for launching observation balloons which was a new

observation balloons which was a new thing as well as aerial reconnaissance.

thing as well as aerial reconnaissance. The telegraph was used in addition to

The telegraph was used in addition to the railroads. Um there were um uh there

the railroads. Um there were um uh there were also with the telegraph we also had

were also with the telegraph we also had the introduction of new military codes

the introduction of new military codes for encrypting messages. It's like it's

for encrypting messages. It's like it's sort of everything that would come um

sort of everything that would come um come everything that would inform

come everything that would inform warfare for the next hundred some years

warfare for the next hundred some years um in its infancy.

um in its infancy. And so um yeah and so you see a

And so um yeah and so you see a combination of transportation and

combination of transportation and communication or information

communication or information technologies

technologies all uh all put to military use. And of

all uh all put to military use. And of course the civil war is a very important

course the civil war is a very important precedent for us or precedent for our

precedent for us or precedent for our astrological commu communications our

astrological commu communications our astrological

astrological um configurations during this era

um configurations during this era because we have we had Uranus in Gemini

because we have we had Uranus in Gemini and Neptune in Aries then and that's

and Neptune in Aries then and that's what we have this time. We didn't have

what we have this time. We didn't have Neptune in Aries during World War II.

Neptune in Aries during World War II. Yeah. And that was the piece that was

Yeah. And that was the piece that was crucial about all of the idealism of all

crucial about all of the idealism of all the young soldiers heading into the war

the young soldiers heading into the war was and thinking it was going to be this

was and thinking it was going to be this heroic like hand-to-hand combat thing

heroic like hand-to-hand combat thing that would be over in 90 days is they

that would be over in 90 days is they didn't know how much the technology had

didn't know how much the technology had jumped and leapfrogged and become much

jumped and leapfrogged and become much more advanced or how much it would even

more advanced or how much it would even become more advanced during the course

become more advanced during the course of the war which just increased the the

of the war which just increased the the brutality and the carnage the the sheer

brutality and the carnage the the sheer amount of casualties and deaths in the

amount of casualties and deaths in the war way beyond what anybody on either

war way beyond what anybody on either side was expecting. And that was one of

side was expecting. And that was one of the things that then led to that arc of

the things that then led to that arc of like illusions and over idealization of

like illusions and over idealization of war in the early part of Neptune and

war in the early part of Neptune and Aries, but then like disillusionment

Aries, but then like disillusionment once the the sheer scale of it became

once the the sheer scale of it became clear.

clear. >> Yeah. And that it really frames that uh

>> Yeah. And that it really frames that uh that Neptune in Aries hope or ideal like

that Neptune in Aries hope or ideal like the the dream of an honorable but

the the dream of an honorable but hard-fought duel um which will decide

hard-fought duel um which will decide things, right? As opposed to a grinding

things, right? As opposed to a grinding conflict that degrades all those

conflict that degrades all those involved,

involved, >> right? Yeah. Yeah. And the introduction

>> right? Yeah. Yeah. And the introduction of like gatling guns and things like

of like gatling guns and things like that that are just like mowing people

that that are just like mowing people down. Um, so so much of this obviously

down. Um, so so much of this obviously the obvious parallel that we can already

the obvious parallel that we can already see developing that has been developing

see developing that has been developing in the past few years is drone warfare

in the past few years is drone warfare and just what that looks like and what

and just what that looks like and what the the brutality of that um as a new

the the brutality of that um as a new form of warfare that we can already see

form of warfare that we can already see being deployed most notably in like

being deployed most notably in like Ukraine in the Russia between the war

Ukraine in the Russia between the war between Russia and Ukraine. Um but just

between Russia and Ukraine. Um but just how much that changes the the nature of

how much that changes the the nature of of war in the the modern period.

of war in the the modern period. >> Yeah. And that's such a interesting and

>> Yeah. And that's such a interesting and perfect combination of the

perfect combination of the transportation and um communication

transportation and um communication orformational technologies because

orformational technologies because they're they're fast moving. There are a

they're they're fast moving. There are a lot of them um and they can be um you

lot of them um and they can be um you know there's some AI or like pro

know there's some AI or like pro pre-programmed uh drones. There's uh

pre-programmed uh drones. There's uh obviously the remote control um and it's

obviously the remote control um and it's just changed

just changed every operation um in warfare. It hasn't

every operation um in warfare. It hasn't replaced anything. It's changed

replaced anything. It's changed everything, right? Um trenches are still

everything, right? Um trenches are still useful, but you have to be able to

useful, but you have to be able to defend against drones that can drop

defend against drones that can drop grenades directly on top of you, right?

grenades directly on top of you, right? Like artillery is still useful, but now

Like artillery is still useful, but now and maybe more so because you can use

and maybe more so because you can use drones to spot for you and scout. Um,

drones to spot for you and scout. Um, and so drones have just sort of become

and so drones have just sort of become part uh become part of all of these

part uh become part of all of these things that have been warfare in the

things that have been warfare in the modern era, but now everything's

modern era, but now everything's different and needs drones and it keeps

different and needs drones and it keeps changing and new things get discovered

changing and new things get discovered every every season,

every every season, >> right? Yeah. Yeah. And all of this is

>> right? Yeah. Yeah. And all of this is important because with Uranus going back

important because with Uranus going back into Gemini again, I believe we're on

into Gemini again, I believe we're on the cusp of a major war. Um, so we have

the cusp of a major war. Um, so we have to talk about some of those things being

to talk about some of those things being on the cusp of this, but then also

on the cusp of this, but then also obviously there's going to be other more

obviously there's going to be other more positive manifestations of this as well.

positive manifestations of this as well. Um, one of them I noticed recently

Um, one of them I noticed recently that's a blend between Uranus and Gemini

that's a blend between Uranus and Gemini and the Saturn Neptune conjunction is um

and the Saturn Neptune conjunction is um I posted like my video horoscopes that

I posted like my video horoscopes that Lisa Shy and I did this year for each

Lisa Shy and I did this year for each rising sign and I posted clips of them

rising sign and I posted clips of them on Instagram and on Instagram um there's

on Instagram and on Instagram um there's an option to translate them

an option to translate them automatically and it had the ability to

automatically and it had the ability to translate them into three different

translate them into three different languages

languages uh into Spanish and Portuguese and Hindi

uh into Spanish and Portuguese and Hindi where it dubbed the audio and it did a

where it dubbed the audio and it did a it mimicked my voice and did a pretty

it mimicked my voice and did a pretty good mimic of my voice, dubbing it into

good mimic of my voice, dubbing it into each of those languages. But then it

each of those languages. But then it also used AI video to change my mouth so

also used AI video to change my mouth so that my mouth matched the words that

that my mouth matched the words that were being spoken in that language. And

were being spoken in that language. And so I was just struck by how Uranus and

so I was just struck by how Uranus and Gemini at this very early stage is like

Gemini at this very early stage is like the breaking down of all borders between

the breaking down of all borders between communication and that being one of our

communication and that being one of our keywords over the next seven years where

keywords over the next seven years where functionally the barriers between

functionally the barriers between different humans that were naturally

different humans that were naturally there as a result of language are are

there as a result of language are are suddenly being erased to some extent in

suddenly being erased to some extent in a in a significant way. and how that's

a in a significant way. and how that's going to impact society and the world if

going to impact society and the world if all of us have these like automatic

all of us have these like automatic translators.

translators. >> Yeah, it's a um that's a great point,

>> Yeah, it's a um that's a great point, right? Like how much how many works of

right? Like how much how many works of uh entertainment and fiction and culture

uh entertainment and fiction and culture um were you just not exposed to because

um were you just not exposed to because um you know there is never uh there

um you know there is never uh there there's never an English version, right?

there's never an English version, right? And um yeah, it's it's the it's like it

And um yeah, it's it's the it's like it um yeah, like the potential for all of

um yeah, like the potential for all of that to change culture and to impact

that to change culture and to impact culture is um pretty extraordinary. And

culture is um pretty extraordinary. And it's not that I don't know like it

it's not that I don't know like it doesn't have to be perfect to have a

doesn't have to be perfect to have a massive impact, right? It's just like

massive impact, right? It's just like lowering the friction to crossing

lowering the friction to crossing linguistic barriers.

linguistic barriers. >> Absolutely. and and how much that will

>> Absolutely. and and how much that will also impact society and people's

also impact society and people's perceptions including people's like

perceptions including people's like prejudices because so often it's like

prejudices because so often it's like humans sometimes are able to other you

humans sometimes are able to other you know other people if they don't speak

know other people if they don't speak the same language and therefore there's

the same language and therefore there's an assumption of a a difference or a

an assumption of a a difference or a foreignness or like an alieness to

foreignness or like an alieness to different groups. But if all of a sudden

different groups. But if all of a sudden like you can understand like an entire

like you can understand like an entire other country or group of people

other country or group of people and and you can see that they're just

and and you can see that they're just speaking normally and they're normal

speaking normally and they're normal humans and you don't have those

humans and you don't have those illusions of separateness or otherness.

illusions of separateness or otherness. Um how that will impact things in terms

Um how that will impact things in terms of people's perceptions and prejudices

of people's perceptions and prejudices seems like it would be a very positive

seems like it would be a very positive development to me when it comes to that.

development to me when it comes to that. >> Yeah. Yeah. Uh totally. Um in addition

>> Yeah. Yeah. Uh totally. Um in addition to that we can you can also see

to that we can you can also see um the potential for further

um the potential for further fragmentation in the sense that um you

fragmentation in the sense that um you uh you know I should say if so back when

uh you know I should say if so back when I when I was a boy um 74 years ago um

I when I was a boy um 74 years ago um everybody kind of either saw the same

everybody kind of either saw the same movies or didn't see those movies but

movies or didn't see those movies but there was um you know it's it's the

there was um you know it's it's the there were three channels on television

there were three channels on television and you were either for or against what

and you were either for or against what was on the TV. Um but there was um very

was on the TV. Um but there was um very meaningfully a mainstream culture and

meaningfully a mainstream culture and that has um culture has become what is

that has um culture has become what is should we say the yeah the the culture

should we say the yeah the the culture that is available has become much more

that is available has become much more um much more wildly varied since we got

um much more wildly varied since we got to internet. Um but that like the

to internet. Um but that like the potential for um erasing or at least

potential for um erasing or at least minimizing language barriers means that

minimizing language barriers means that the amount of potential culture that any

the amount of potential culture that any one person is exposed to, you know, is

one person is exposed to, you know, is quadrupled, quintipled, etc., etc. And

quadrupled, quintipled, etc., etc. And so, you know, like the chances of, oh,

so, you know, like the chances of, oh, did you see that thing that the chances

did you see that thing that the chances of a water cooler moment when everybody

of a water cooler moment when everybody has all of the culture in the entire

has all of the culture in the entire world at their disposal, right? like the

world at their disposal, right? like the the ability or the yeah the ability to

the ability or the yeah the ability to find yourself in a niche that nobody you

find yourself in a niche that nobody you know knows anything about um increases

know knows anything about um increases um by whatever factor which isn't

um by whatever factor which isn't necessarily a bad or a good thing but

necessarily a bad or a good thing but it's it's a you know it's a thing that's

it's it's a you know it's a thing that's incredible yeah that reminds me during

incredible yeah that reminds me during the last Uranus and Gemini period uh the

the last Uranus and Gemini period uh the United Nations was founded and so you

United Nations was founded and so you have that image of like

have that image of like >> all of the representatives from the

>> all of the representatives from the different countries there that are each

different countries there that are each wearing, you know, their earpiece where

wearing, you know, their earpiece where the other people's language is being

the other people's language is being automatically like translated by a

automatically like translated by a translator in their ear. It's like we

translator in their ear. It's like we have a version of that happening now

have a version of that happening now over the past seven years but for

over the past seven years but for everybody. And that to that's a I mean

everybody. And that to that's a I mean that's a beautiful image to me of like

that's a beautiful image to me of like what you were saying where somebody, you

what you were saying where somebody, you know, could create like a viral clip in

know, could create like a viral clip in Spain that all of a sudden is

Spain that all of a sudden is automatically translated into every

automatically translated into every language and everybody around the world

language and everybody around the world is like knowing about that viral clip.

is like knowing about that viral clip. It really is breaking down borders like

It really is breaking down borders like a lot more than than at any other time.

a lot more than than at any other time. >> Yeah, I think and I think a lot of

>> Yeah, I think and I think a lot of people will probably be very surprised

people will probably be very surprised to find out what other people were

to find out what other people were thinking.

thinking. >> I had no idea that half a billion people

>> I had no idea that half a billion people were thinking about this like this.

were thinking about this like this. Nobody nobody in in the Anglosphere um

Nobody nobody in in the Anglosphere um says that about this thing and and vice

says that about this thing and and vice versa,

versa, >> right? Yeah, that's brilliant. Um, okay.

>> right? Yeah, that's brilliant. Um, okay. And then the last thing of course is

And then the last thing of course is obvious but bears repeating is just um

obvious but bears repeating is just um with the transportation revolution

>> I'm here for it literally and figuratively.

figuratively. >> Awesome. All right. Well, let's get back

>> Awesome. All right. Well, let's get back into the overview section of this

into the overview section of this forecast, which is going longer, of

forecast, which is going longer, of course, than we expected, but that's all

course, than we expected, but that's all right because we've got so many big

right because we've got so many big weighty things to talk about. But the

weighty things to talk about. But the next thing I want to talk about is

next thing I want to talk about is Jupiter this year which is spending the

Jupiter this year which is spending the first 6 months of the year still moving

first 6 months of the year still moving through Cancer through the sign of its

through Cancer through the sign of its exaltation but then starting at the end

exaltation but then starting at the end of June Jupiter is going to move into

of June Jupiter is going to move into the sign of Leo for the next year uh

the sign of Leo for the next year uh where it's going to be joining up with

where it's going to be joining up with eventually the south node and then Mars

eventually the south node and then Mars as well as an eclipse that's going to

as well as an eclipse that's going to take place in August in the sign of Leo.

take place in August in the sign of Leo. So it's the start of actually a bunch of

So it's the start of actually a bunch of Leo activity this year.

Leo activity this year. Yeah, it sure is. Um, so with, you know,

Yeah, it sure is. Um, so with, you know, Jupiter spends the first half of the

Jupiter spends the first half of the year in Cancer, which is its exaltation,

year in Cancer, which is its exaltation, um, and in pretty good shape. And one of

um, and in pretty good shape. And one of the things that Jupiter does is it keeps

the things that Jupiter does is it keeps things from falling apart. Um, there,

things from falling apart. Um, there, you know, we often look to Jupiter for

you know, we often look to Jupiter for new good things. And Jupiter will bring

new good things. And Jupiter will bring Jupiter does bring opportunities.

Jupiter does bring opportunities. um uh it uh it potentiates growth um etc

um uh it uh it potentiates growth um etc etc but that's that's the positive half

etc but that's that's the positive half the other half that Jupiter performs

the other half that Jupiter performs which is in natal charts and in the

which is in natal charts and in the skies is keeping um protecting us from

skies is keeping um protecting us from worst case scenarios providing remedy

worst case scenarios providing remedy where there's injury or holding things

where there's injury or holding things together and I

together and I uh how should we say I shudder to think

uh how should we say I shudder to think how much Jupiter is holding together

how much Jupiter is holding together right now in Cancer as Jupiter is

right now in Cancer as Jupiter is literally full strength in cancer. This

literally full strength in cancer. This is as much um this is as much

is as much um this is as much highquality Jupiter juice um as we're

highquality Jupiter juice um as we're going to get. And Jupiter and Leo of

going to get. And Jupiter and Leo of course has its own excellences but is

course has its own excellences but is overall um less capable of holding

overall um less capable of holding things together. And so um that is one

things together. And so um that is one of the like that's one of the things

of the like that's one of the things that that's one of the differences in

that that's one of the differences in Jupiter moving from cancer to Leo is we

Jupiter moving from cancer to Leo is we we get less ability for Jupiter to kind

we get less ability for Jupiter to kind of keep everything together for just a

of keep everything together for just a little while longer. And it's worth

little while longer. And it's worth noting that um Jupiter I in cancer is in

noting that um Jupiter I in cancer is in the same sign it was when the uh the

the same sign it was when the uh the declaration of independence was declared

declaration of independence was declared and that the United States in that chart

and that the United States in that chart has Mercury, Sun, Venus and Jupiter in

has Mercury, Sun, Venus and Jupiter in Cancer and it is a Jupiter ruled chart.

Cancer and it is a Jupiter ruled chart. Um, and so again, one shudders to think

Um, and so again, one shudders to think that what we see uh before us here in

that what we see uh before us here in December of 2025 um is the United States

December of 2025 um is the United States with a lot of support that will go away

with a lot of support that will go away halfway through the year. In fact, it'll

halfway through the year. In fact, it'll go away about a week before our first

go away about a week before our first Mars Uranus conjunction

Mars Uranus conjunction >> just in time.

>> just in time. >> Yeah, that's a great point. Uh well,

>> Yeah, that's a great point. Uh well, what's funny is we had a really tangible

what's funny is we had a really tangible example of that protective function that

example of that protective function that you're talking about literally like over

you're talking about literally like over the past few days because um you got

the past few days because um you got sick like a few days ago, like right

sick like a few days ago, like right before this forecast with like a cold

before this forecast with like a cold and uh my heart sank like the moment you

and uh my heart sank like the moment you told me that cuz that's always our worst

told me that cuz that's always our worst case scenario is like one of us gets

case scenario is like one of us gets sick and can't do the big forecast that

sick and can't do the big forecast that we've been preparing like a month for.

we've been preparing like a month for. Um but you, my friend, somehow already

Um but you, my friend, somehow already fought it off and are in amazing shape

fought it off and are in amazing shape today. And I realized like that's part

today. And I realized like that's part of that you actually have Jupiter

of that you actually have Jupiter exalted in cancer in your birth chart in

exalted in cancer in your birth chart in the first house and the place of the

the first house and the place of the body and Jupiter is serving that like

body and Jupiter is serving that like protective function sometimes I feel

protective function sometimes I feel like when it comes to your health and

like when it comes to your health and ability to either fight stuff off or

ability to either fight stuff off or recuperate pretty quickly.

recuperate pretty quickly. >> Yeah, 100%. Um it's definitely an area

>> Yeah, 100%. Um it's definitely an area where I have received blessings is the

where I have received blessings is the um to restore what has been depleted uh

um to restore what has been depleted uh or to protect from what would harm.

or to protect from what would harm. Yeah, because it was just um we had a um

Yeah, because it was just um we had a um we had a very quiet Christmas just Kate

we had a very quiet Christmas just Kate and Lucian and I and they were both dog

and Lucian and I and they were both dog sick and so I was just cuddling with my

sick and so I was just cuddling with my two beloved booger piles for days on

two beloved booger piles for days on end. The viral load was very intense but

end. The viral load was very intense but uh it didn't it got in a little bit and

uh it didn't it got in a little bit and then um I bounced back

then um I bounced back >> and I you know bouncing is a pretty

>> and I you know bouncing is a pretty Jupiter thing,

Jupiter thing, >> right? It's that like, you know, when

>> right? It's that like, you know, when people talk about like a soft landing

people talk about like a soft landing or, you know, what what cushions an

or, you know, what what cushions an impact like the ability to bounce off of

impact like the ability to bounce off of things or like, you know, if you have a

things or like, you know, if you have a fall instead of just splatting like

fall instead of just splatting like bouncing like that capacity to reattain

bouncing like that capacity to reattain elevation, to deal with impacts in a way

elevation, to deal with impacts in a way that doesn't um interfere with or

that doesn't um interfere with or doesn't damage the structural integrity

doesn't damage the structural integrity of the thing. I think bounciness might

of the thing. I think bounciness might be a bit of a Jupiter core

be a bit of a Jupiter core signification. What do you think?

signification. What do you think? >> Yeah, absolutely. especially bouncing

>> Yeah, absolutely. especially bouncing back cuz speaking of that, it's like one

back cuz speaking of that, it's like one of the things Jupiter was helping all of

of the things Jupiter was helping all of us with in the past what just like 6

us with in the past what just like 6 months now since it moved into Cancer is

months now since it moved into Cancer is it it's been cleaning up the mess that

it it's been cleaning up the mess that the Mars retrograde in Cancer left at

the Mars retrograde in Cancer left at the beginning of 2025 and late 2024

the beginning of 2025 and late 2024 where Mars was just for many of us at

where Mars was just for many of us at least was wrecking like a certain uh

least was wrecking like a certain uh part of our life based on what house it

part of our life based on what house it went retrograde in Cancer.

went retrograde in Cancer. But then luckily we've had Jupiter come

But then luckily we've had Jupiter come in in the second half of 2025 to clean

in in the second half of 2025 to clean up some of the mess. But um while that's

up some of the mess. But um while that's helped a lot like Jupiter still has a

helped a lot like Jupiter still has a lot of work to do and luckily we've got

lot of work to do and luckily we've got like six more months for Jupiter to

like six more months for Jupiter to really get things going and especially

really get things going and especially around the time of Jupiter's direct

around the time of Jupiter's direct station in Cancer. Um I'm looking

station in Cancer. Um I'm looking forward to Jupiter being fully empowered

forward to Jupiter being fully empowered so it can do some of its best work there

so it can do some of its best work there strengthening the cancer sectors of each

strengthening the cancer sectors of each of our charts. Yeah, absolutely. Um

of our charts. Yeah, absolutely. Um there are

there are multiple configurations during the first

multiple configurations during the first half of 2026

half of 2026 um that I would have no hope at all for

um that I would have no hope at all for except for the Jupiter intervention

except for the Jupiter intervention which is present in all of them. Um and

which is present in all of them. Um and again like Jupiter won't always prevent

again like Jupiter won't always prevent negative things from happening but a lot

negative things from happening but a lot of times it sha it prevents the worst

of times it sha it prevents the worst case scenario or it offers the potential

case scenario or it offers the potential for repair or restoration of

for repair or restoration of relationship. Um and that's of course in

relationship. Um and that's of course in addition to the positive things that

addition to the positive things that Jupiter um still has to offer people

Jupiter um still has to offer people this year in that cancer area of their

this year in that cancer area of their life which is in a you know the capacity

life which is in a you know the capacity to grow or develop in a new area um to

to grow or develop in a new area um to obtain like new knowledge um etc etc. So

obtain like new knowledge um etc etc. So we like we like Jupiter and Cancer we

we like we like Jupiter and Cancer we like that we've got another six months

like that we've got another six months of it.

of it. >> Yeah. and to to grow and to develop to

>> Yeah. and to to grow and to develop to nurture something new and to allow it to

nurture something new and to allow it to grow and flourish but also because it's

grow and flourish but also because it's a planet in its exaltation that often

a planet in its exaltation that often represents doing the best or the highest

represents doing the best or the highest version of whatever it is that you're

version of whatever it is that you're trying to do. So, I think each of us can

trying to do. So, I think each of us can really take advantage of that this year

really take advantage of that this year and by thinking about what house Jupiter

and by thinking about what house Jupiter is transiting through in our chart and

is transiting through in our chart and thinking about what's a way that we

thinking about what's a way that we could improve that sector of our life if

could improve that sector of our life if we really planned it out and thought

we really planned it out and thought about it ahead of time, not in a

about it ahead of time, not in a haphazard way, but in a way of like what

haphazard way, but in a way of like what is the what is the best version of this

is the what is the best version of this that I could be doing in my life and

that I could be doing in my life and then executing on that plan.

then executing on that plan. >> Yeah. And one thing that I've noticed

>> Yeah. And one thing that I've noticed about Jupiter's exaltation in Cancer is

about Jupiter's exaltation in Cancer is that it's often

that it's often um it often comes up comes off as how do

um it often comes up comes off as how do we put this um humble in aspiration or

we put this um humble in aspiration or slowm moving but the results are really

slowm moving but the results are really extraordinary over time. It doesn't look

extraordinary over time. It doesn't look as exciting um as like Jupiter in Pisces

as exciting um as like Jupiter in Pisces or Jupiter in Sagittarius. Um but you

or Jupiter in Sagittarius. Um but you look at um for for example the um the

look at um for for example the um the only investor who's among the who's been

only investor who's among the who's been among the richest people in the world is

among the richest people in the world is Warren Buffett who's a Jupiter and

Warren Buffett who's a Jupiter and cancer who just um if you listen to him

cancer who just um if you listen to him and look at what he's done he just

and look at what he's done he just invests in companies that he believes in

invests in companies that he believes in right but has done that for 60 years um

right but has done that for 60 years um and so a lot of times the there there's

and so a lot of times the there there's some there's something um almost

some there's something um almost confusingly humble about the approach of

confusingly humble about the approach of Jupiter and Cancer. Um, but then the

Jupiter and Cancer. Um, but then the results are anything but humble

results are anything but humble >> and so like slow slow but slow but

>> and so like slow slow but slow but steady, right? Like everything starts

steady, right? Like everything starts every plant at least starts as a seed,

every plant at least starts as a seed, right? You don't um um you don't try to

right? You don't um um you don't try to take the giant oak and transplant it

take the giant oak and transplant it like you you know you nurture the acorns

like you you know you nurture the acorns and then before you know it, you've got

and then before you know it, you've got something um open and huge and

something um open and huge and extraordinary.

extraordinary. >> Yeah. Well, and Jupiter and Cancer also

>> Yeah. Well, and Jupiter and Cancer also just excels at taking care of people and

just excels at taking care of people and we've talked about um like the um the

we've talked about um like the um the ACA being passed like 12 years ago and

ACA being passed like 12 years ago and and we're being being instituted under

and we're being being instituted under that transit in terms of um you know

that transit in terms of um you know Americans getting health care at that

Americans getting health care at that time and then the challenges to some of

time and then the challenges to some of that that are coming up at this time

that that are coming up at this time where it's just barely been like hanging

where it's just barely been like hanging on by a thread. Um but that's a good

on by a thread. Um but that's a good example also of like taking care of

example also of like taking care of large groups of people by providing

large groups of people by providing health care of the sort of energy that

health care of the sort of energy that Jupiter and Cancer can bring of how can

Jupiter and Cancer can bring of how can you help um large groups of people with

you help um large groups of people with that sort of energy during the first 6

that sort of energy during the first 6 months.

months. >> Yeah. And care care is such a good key

>> Yeah. And care care is such a good key word for anything cancer but especially

word for anything cancer but especially a beneficent cancer like Jupiter,

a beneficent cancer like Jupiter, >> right? Um so the this kind of peaks this

>> right? Um so the this kind of peaks this energy peaks and is the most positive to

energy peaks and is the most positive to me around early June because around that

me around early June because around that time Venus moves into Cancer and forms

time Venus moves into Cancer and forms this very auspicious conjunction with

this very auspicious conjunction with Jupiter in early June that just looks

Jupiter in early June that just looks super nice and I'm really looking

super nice and I'm really looking forward to as one of the most positive

forward to as one of the most positive alignments of the year in early June.

alignments of the year in early June. And one of the things in the electional

And one of the things in the electional astrology report that Lisa and I just

astrology report that Lisa and I just released is I kind of mentioned how I

released is I kind of mentioned how I remembered how last summer um the Taylor

remembered how last summer um the Taylor Swift marriage announcement like the

Swift marriage announcement like the proposal announcement happened the

proposal announcement happened the proposal happened around the Venus

proposal happened around the Venus Jupiter conjunction in Cancer. So in the

Jupiter conjunction in Cancer. So in the report I kind of speculated that we'd

report I kind of speculated that we'd probably see um a big celebrity wedding

probably see um a big celebrity wedding like Taylor Swift around that time of

like Taylor Swift around that time of that conjunction in early June. I

that conjunction in early June. I actually just got invited to a wedding

actually just got invited to a wedding in early June.

in early June. >> Did you?

>> Did you? >> Okay.

>> Okay. >> By by non-astrologers.

>> By by non-astrologers. >> Is it Taylor Swift? Did you get invited

>> Is it Taylor Swift? Did you get invited to Taylor Swift?

to Taylor Swift? >> Yeah, she found out that we have the

>> Yeah, she found out that we have the same Venus and we're besties now.

same Venus and we're besties now. >> That does make sense, actually. Um,

>> That does make sense, actually. Um, well, I actually just saw in the tabloid

well, I actually just saw in the tabloid tabloids are saying that she's getting

tabloids are saying that she's getting married in early June. So, I'm actually

married in early June. So, I'm actually calling that as a as an accurate

calling that as a as an accurate prediction on my part because that was

prediction on my part because that was what I was thinking is if she got

what I was thinking is if she got proposed to if they the proposal

proposed to if they the proposal happened under the conjunction, it would

happened under the conjunction, it would make so much sense for the actual

make so much sense for the actual marriage to happen on the recurrence of

marriage to happen on the recurrence of that in June. So, we'll see if that

that in June. So, we'll see if that actually happens, if that gets validated

actually happens, if that gets validated sometime soon in the larger press. But,

sometime soon in the larger press. But, it's a nice little sweet spot in the

it's a nice little sweet spot in the year despite all of the challenging

year despite all of the challenging stuff we've been talking about and some

stuff we've been talking about and some of the really difficult aspects like the

of the really difficult aspects like the Mars Uranus conjunction in July. there

Mars Uranus conjunction in July. there are at least these like sweet spots at

are at least these like sweet spots at different points like that Venus Jupiter

different points like that Venus Jupiter conjunction at the beginning of June.

conjunction at the beginning of June. >> Yeah. And I'm gonna restrain myself from

>> Yeah. And I'm gonna restrain myself from talking about the the other sweet fruits

talking about the the other sweet fruits available the orchard of that time of

available the orchard of that time of year. But yeah, that's that's right

year. But yeah, that's that's right smack in the middle of my favorite

smack in the middle of my favorite portion of the year to come. I believe

portion of the year to come. I believe Kelly would refer to that conjunction as

Kelly would refer to that conjunction as juicy.

juicy. >> Juicy. Yeah, that well that is the if uh

>> Juicy. Yeah, that well that is the if uh our famous prediction about March of

our famous prediction about March of 2020 was that was like the no hugging uh

2020 was that was like the no hugging uh time of the year, then that will be the

time of the year, then that will be the hugging time of the year in early June.

hugging time of the year in early June. I think we we could say.

I think we we could say. >> Yeah. Yeah. Hugs for hugs all around.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Hugs for hugs all around. >> Hugs. Um all right. So, speaking of

>> Hugs. Um all right. So, speaking of that,

that, >> after what comes before that, you know,

>> after what comes before that, you know, a lot of us are going to need a hug.

a lot of us are going to need a hug. >> Yes, definitely. Um, so speaking of

>> Yes, definitely. Um, so speaking of that, actually Lisa and I just released

that, actually Lisa and I just released our 2026 electional astrology report,

our 2026 electional astrology report, which is a guide to the most fortunate

which is a guide to the most fortunate dates in 2026. And that's how I first

dates in 2026. And that's how I first found that Venus Jupiter conjunction

found that Venus Jupiter conjunction because what we do in the report is we

because what we do in the report is we pick the most auspicious dates for

pick the most auspicious dates for starting things next year, which you can

starting things next year, which you can use for business, love, or pretty much

use for business, love, or pretty much any major life event. And we went

any major life event. And we went through each of the next 12 months and

through each of the next 12 months and we picked out the two best dates and the

we picked out the two best dates and the two best astrological charts with times

two best astrological charts with times that you can use to do things next year

that you can use to do things next year during the course of 2026 and we

during the course of 2026 and we released this as a report that people

released this as a report that people can purchase through our website. Um so

can purchase through our website. Um so we have 28 auspicious charts because we

we have 28 auspicious charts because we expanded it to two charts this year per

expanded it to two charts this year per month rather than just one. And the

month rather than just one. And the report includes a video report, an audio

report includes a video report, an audio report, plus an extensive written report

report, plus an extensive written report as a PDF. Um, and it includes a monthly

as a PDF. Um, and it includes a monthly forecast with not just the dates to do

forecast with not just the dates to do things that are good, but we also tell

things that are good, but we also tell you what dates to avoid because

you what dates to avoid because sometimes electional astrology is just

sometimes electional astrology is just as much about knowing which dates to

as much about knowing which dates to avoid doing things than it is like

avoid doing things than it is like knowing which dates are really good. So,

knowing which dates are really good. So, we're doing a launch sale right now

we're doing a launch sale right now where the report is on sale for $49.95,

where the report is on sale for $49.95, but only until January 7th. And then the

but only until January 7th. And then the price is going to jump up to the regular

>> Excellent. And it's so much work and it's so nice to have somebody else do it

it's so nice to have somebody else do it for you.

for you. >> Yeah, cuz it's a lot of work to like

>> Yeah, cuz it's a lot of work to like find good dates to do things like

find good dates to do things like marriages or launch a business or

marriages or launch a business or something else. But we actually did that

something else. But we actually did that ourselves and then put it in a report.

ourselves and then put it in a report. And what's funny is like we're doing

And what's funny is like we're doing this work for ourselves as well cuz

this work for ourselves as well cuz you'll see us using these same dates

you'll see us using these same dates like all throughout next year. Like a

like all throughout next year. Like a lot of my major podcast episodes will

lot of my major podcast episodes will launch on these dates or will be

launch on these dates or will be recorded, you know, product launches and

recorded, you know, product launches and other things like that cuz I actually

other things like that cuz I actually use these as the best dates. I just

use these as the best dates. I just happen to also make a report to share

happen to also make a report to share them with everyone else.

them with everyone else. >> That's nice. And it's um it's pretty

>> That's nice. And it's um it's pretty it's consistently entertaining how often

it's consistently entertaining how often we just we end up with either exactly

we just we end up with either exactly the same idea or like a a variation on a

the same idea or like a a variation on a theme of like what the best day of the

theme of like what the best day of the the month is to do a thing,

the month is to do a thing, >> right? And we we find out in retrospect

>> right? And we we find out in retrospect that we both like did the most important

that we both like did the most important thing on the same day and like time that

thing on the same day and like time that month within the same hour.

month within the same hour. >> Yeah. or like oh um I picked the same

>> Yeah. or like oh um I picked the same day but I wanted this rising because of

day but I wanted this rising because of this but like it's so there's um there

this but like it's so there's um there is uh yeah there is a that it's the same

is uh yeah there is a that it's the same principles um and it's yeah it's not

principles um and it's yeah it's not just

just Chris and Lisa's opinion

Chris and Lisa's opinion you know like there there are a lot of

you know like there there are a lot of principles that get applied and you get

principles that get applied and you get um um you know with rigor there's a very

um um you know with rigor there's a very small divergence um between what the

small divergence um between what the best days are and often no no divergence

best days are and often no no divergence at all in opinion.

at all in opinion. >> Definitely. Awesome. Well, yeah. So, get

>> Definitely. Awesome. Well, yeah. So, get the report before the price goes up on

the report before the price goes up on January 7th at the

January 7th at the astrologyodcast.com/2026

astrologyodcast.com/2026 report. All right. So, let's transition

report. All right. So, let's transition into talking a little bit more about

into talking a little bit more about Jupiter and Leo because we really

Jupiter and Leo because we really focused on Jupiter and Cancer, but

focused on Jupiter and Cancer, but that's just the first half of the year.

that's just the first half of the year. And then in late June, we get a major

And then in late June, we get a major shift where we end the first chapter of

shift where we end the first chapter of this year basically and we move into the

this year basically and we move into the se second chapter when Jupiter goes into

se second chapter when Jupiter goes into Leo because that's the first of like I

Leo because that's the first of like I said at least like three maybe four

said at least like three maybe four major Leo transits that just like start

major Leo transits that just like start happening from that point forward.

happening from that point forward. >> Yeah. Yeah, it is. So, should we talk a

>> Yeah. Yeah, it is. So, should we talk a little bit about Jupiter and Leo?

little bit about Jupiter and Leo? Um, the nature of the planet and the

Um, the nature of the planet and the sign before we talk about all of the

sign before we talk about all of the friends that Jupiter will make in Leo.

friends that Jupiter will make in Leo. >> Yes, please.

>> Yes, please. >> Yeah. So right Jupiter um um although

>> Yeah. So right Jupiter um um although not exalted right not like this formula

not exalted right not like this formula for excellence for Jupiter that cancer

for excellence for Jupiter that cancer is um Leo is a great place for Jupiter

is um Leo is a great place for Jupiter most uh uh without when it's not

most uh uh without when it's not interfered with right um the Jupiter

interfered with right um the Jupiter likes warmth and expansiveness the solar

likes warmth and expansiveness the solar principle which is um present in Leo is

principle which is um present in Leo is a welcome w alloy to Jupitarian

a welcome w alloy to Jupitarian buoyancy. Um you often see people um who

buoyancy. Um you often see people um who are born with a gift of um how should we

are born with a gift of um how should we say personable and relatable warmth.

say personable and relatable warmth. Jupiter in Leo bestows a gift of um of

Jupiter in Leo bestows a gift of um of confidence and belief in oneself or uh

confidence and belief in oneself or uh and or the capacity to strengthen others

and or the capacity to strengthen others through seeing them uh and believing in

through seeing them uh and believing in their their capacities. Um there's also

their their capacities. Um there's also a there's als there can also be um a

a there's als there can also be um a theatrical or performative talent, the

theatrical or performative talent, the ability to appear and to command

ability to appear and to command attention which is also helpful for um

attention which is also helpful for um people in leadership roles. It's a good

people in leadership roles. It's a good Jupiter. It like it has quite a few it

Jupiter. It like it has quite a few it can do quite a few things.

can do quite a few things. It's no longer the you know the the

It's no longer the you know the the exaltation but it's um there's a lot to

exaltation but it's um there's a lot to like about Jupiter and Leo.

like about Jupiter and Leo. >> Yeah. It has this um buoyant radiant

>> Yeah. It has this um buoyant radiant energy which I think about sometimes

energy which I think about sometimes like a prominent Jupiter and Leo of um

like a prominent Jupiter and Leo of um sometimes you know there's some people

sometimes you know there's some people where that idea of like visualizing or

where that idea of like visualizing or trying to manifest the future and just

trying to manifest the future and just um not just faking it until you're

um not just faking it until you're making it but like literally manifesting

making it but like literally manifesting things in your life through a sheer

things in your life through a sheer optimism and belief that you deserve and

optimism and belief that you deserve and can accomplish something and then just

can accomplish something and then just like creating that in your life out of

like creating that in your life out of that that I often think about when it

that that I often think about when it comes to Jupiter and Leo and especially

comes to Jupiter and Leo and especially like people that have Jupiter and Leo in

like people that have Jupiter and Leo in the first house um kind of exude when

the first house um kind of exude when when I think about their their natal

when I think about their their natal placements. That's what I think of.

placements. That's what I think of. >> Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, they it it

>> Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, they it it really um it turns the often trit stuff

really um it turns the often trit stuff about believing in yourself into

about believing in yourself into something realistic and actually kind of

something realistic and actually kind of enviable.

enviable. You're like, "Oh, that actually that's

You're like, "Oh, that actually that's when you you say that, but you've acted

when you you say that, but you've acted on that, you've demonstrated that that's

on that, you've demonstrated that that's not um that's not trash. Um there

not um that's not trash. Um there actually is something to that." Um yeah,

actually is something to that." Um yeah, and and there's again there's just like

and and there's again there's just like a nice there's a nice warmth and and

a nice there's a nice warmth and and sort of embracing quality. Um uh off the

sort of embracing quality. Um uh off the top of my head like Will Frell is a

top of my head like Will Frell is a Jupiter and Leo who's just like a darn

Jupiter and Leo who's just like a darn likable fella. There's just like a a a

likable fella. There's just like a a a like there's an accessibility

like there's an accessibility um to that Jupiter and Leo gives um that

um to that Jupiter and Leo gives um that I I think is is rather nice. And for

I I think is is rather nice. And for those of us with uh solar issues who uh

those of us with uh solar issues who uh flee at the coming of the light, Jupiter

flee at the coming of the light, Jupiter and Leo can be uh medicinal um as a as a

and Leo can be uh medicinal um as a as a way of seeing how not all like the sun

way of seeing how not all like the sun as a way of proving that the sun does

as a way of proving that the sun does more than give you skin cancer,

more than give you skin cancer, >> right? Yeah. I'm looking through my list

>> right? Yeah. I'm looking through my list really quickly of like people that have

really quickly of like people that have Jupiter and Leo and you have sometimes

Jupiter and Leo and you have sometimes like great creatives like George Lucas

like great creatives like George Lucas who created Star Wars or um a more

who created Star Wars or um a more recent example we've got Bill Burr the

recent example we've got Bill Burr the comedian

comedian >> um we've got

>> um we've got who um Bo Burnham is a great like

who um Bo Burnham is a great like contemporary creative example and just

contemporary creative example and just his ability to like create things like

his ability to like create things like truly as like a creative in some sense

truly as like a creative in some sense but also a performer.

but also a performer. Yeah. When Burnhammer has an ability to

Yeah. When Burnhammer has an ability to take

take um what is very self-involved material,

um what is very self-involved material, very Leo me, but make it all like um

very Leo me, but make it all like um wide reaching and all embracing,

wide reaching and all embracing, right? It extends that that personal me

right? It extends that that personal me me to actually it's me, but that's me is

me to actually it's me, but that's me is just one instance of us. And so it

just one instance of us. And so it becomes interesting and relatable.

becomes interesting and relatable. >> Yeah. I mean, speaking of you using that

>> Yeah. I mean, speaking of you using that is making me see another one in my list,

is making me see another one in my list, which is Joe Rogan and just the

which is Joe Rogan and just the him as a central figure becoming like a

him as a central figure becoming like a podcasting empire. Um, but through this

podcasting empire. Um, but through this centralization of just him as a

centralization of just him as a personality and his conversations with

personality and his conversations with other people is what made his podcast

other people is what made his podcast take off originally.

take off originally. >> Yeah. Yeah. Like a obviously a p a

>> Yeah. Yeah. Like a obviously a p a person that a lot of people can relate

person that a lot of people can relate to.

to. Right. Um, yeah. Or as like the everyman

Right. Um, yeah. Or as like the everyman or something like that early on. At

or something like that early on. At least that was the attraction.

least that was the attraction. >> Um, okay. So, but but also other people

>> Um, okay. So, but but also other people that just genuinely ause like good

that just genuinely ause like good energy like um our friend Kelly Certis

energy like um our friend Kelly Certis for example is Jupiter and Leo. That's a

for example is Jupiter and Leo. That's a good one.

good one. >> 100%.

>> 100%. >> Um, let's see. Judith Butler, Anthony

>> Um, let's see. Judith Butler, Anthony Bourdain is another again another one

Bourdain is another again another one like the um everyday man that people can

like the um everyday man that people can relate to um that just exudes this kind

relate to um that just exudes this kind of buoyant but um yeah positive energy

of buoyant but um yeah positive energy in some way that's very much like on

in some way that's very much like on their their sleeve.

their their sleeve. >> Yeah. And another instance of someone

>> Yeah. And another instance of someone whose work is very much about their

whose work is very much about their experience but their experience is big

experience but their experience is big enough that it doesn't feel

enough that it doesn't feel self-centered.

self-centered. >> Absolutely. Absolutely. Um, all right.

>> Absolutely. Absolutely. Um, all right. I'm seeing others because I'm trying to

I'm seeing others because I'm trying to pick out, for example, some some

pick out, for example, some some different women, but like Eleanor

different women, but like Eleanor Roosevelt was a really famous like

Roosevelt was a really famous like Jupiter and Leo as well. Um, Angela

Jupiter and Leo as well. Um, Angela Davis,

Davis, um, Pamela Anderson. It's like we're you

um, Pamela Anderson. It's like we're you sort of start seeing like a pattern here

sort of start seeing like a pattern here like going through some of these

like going through some of these different names. Um, but that's the

different names. Um, but that's the energy and we're only going to get that

energy and we're only going to get that energy for for a little bit though, at

energy for for a little bit though, at least in its pure

least in its pure I don't want to say unadulterated form

I don't want to say unadulterated form because it gets adulterated like pretty

because it gets adulterated like pretty quickly. Um,

quickly. Um, >> unmolested.

>> unmolested. >> I I'm not going to go there either, but

>> I I'm not going to go there either, but I will say um, you know, Jupiter and Leo

I will say um, you know, Jupiter and Leo is there.

is there. Well, really, yeah. No, it's not

Well, really, yeah. No, it's not unadulterated because it's like as soon

unadulterated because it's like as soon as it goes into Leo, it like opposes

as it goes into Leo, it like opposes Pluto

Pluto >> and then um in August we get the first

>> and then um in August we get the first Leo eclipse. So then there's a second

Leo eclipse. So then there's a second like magnification of the Leo energy. In

like magnification of the Leo energy. In July, we have the nodes changing signs

July, we have the nodes changing signs and the south node goes into Leo. And

and the south node goes into Leo. And then at the end of the year, starting in

then at the end of the year, starting in September, um, Mars goes into Leo and it

September, um, Mars goes into Leo and it starts building up to a retrograde in

starts building up to a retrograde in Virgo and Leo that's going to extend far

Virgo and Leo that's going to extend far into 2027. So, it's like when Lisa and I

into 2027. So, it's like when Lisa and I were doing the horoscopes this year, for

were doing the horoscopes this year, for every sign, we were just realizing that

every sign, we were just realizing that whatever the Leo sector of your chart

whatever the Leo sector of your chart is, whatever house that coincides with

is, whatever house that coincides with is really going to be getting the most

is really going to be getting the most activity this year in some ways because

activity this year in some ways because especially in the second half of the

especially in the second half of the year, it just starts getting pinged by

year, it just starts getting pinged by all the major transits.

all the major transits. >> Yeah. Um, I'm sure you had a similar

>> Yeah. Um, I'm sure you had a similar experience as I did where I would look

experience as I did where I would look at it and be like, "Oh, and so Jupiter's

at it and be like, "Oh, and so Jupiter's going to move into your blank house and

going to move into your blank house and that's going to be great, but I guess it

that's going to be great, but I guess it opposes Pluto and it's going to be

opposes Pluto and it's going to be co-present with the south node for 11 of

co-present with the south node for 11 of the 12 months." And oh, is that Mars?

the 12 months." And oh, is that Mars? Oh, and Mars is going to be there for

Oh, and Mars is going to be there for five of those months. Um, so it's it's a

five of those months. Um, so it's it's a lot of Leo and it's um there there's a

lot of Leo and it's um there there's a lot for Jupiter to reconcile, overcome,

lot for Jupiter to reconcile, overcome, equilibriate,

equilibriate, deal with um in Leo. Um and that's

deal with um in Leo. Um and that's another difference between Jupiter's

another difference between Jupiter's time in Cancer and uh and Jupiter's time

time in Cancer and uh and Jupiter's time in Leo. Jupiter. Um once we get to

in Leo. Jupiter. Um once we get to midFebruary, we'll be dealing with the

midFebruary, we'll be dealing with the whole sign but not exact square from

whole sign but not exact square from Saturn and Neptune. Um which certainly

Saturn and Neptune. Um which certainly affects like does some uh limiting of

affects like does some uh limiting of how much pure Jupiter and Cancer

how much pure Jupiter and Cancer excellence we can get and how much it's

excellence we can get and how much it's Jupiter and Cancer offsetting or trying

Jupiter and Cancer offsetting or trying to mitigate the Saturn and Aries stuff.

to mitigate the Saturn and Aries stuff. But there are no exact aspects. Um,

But there are no exact aspects. Um, Jupiter's got a lot of free time to do

Jupiter's got a lot of free time to do its own thing, whereas Jupiter will be

its own thing, whereas Jupiter will be extremely busy dealing with um the

extremely busy dealing with um the dragon's lashing tail as well as Mars in

dragon's lashing tail as well as Mars in and out of Leo.

and out of Leo. >> Yeah. Uh, and one of the things Jupiter

>> Yeah. Uh, and one of the things Jupiter is going to do is it's going to a

is going to do is it's going to a grandise like all of the people that

grandise like all of the people that have prominent Leo placements, whether

have prominent Leo placements, whether that's their sun sign or their rising

that's their sun sign or their rising sign or 10th house or what have you.

sign or 10th house or what have you. we're going to see all the the Leo

we're going to see all the the Leo people coming and being thrust more into

people coming and being thrust more into the forefront of, you know, headlines

the forefront of, you know, headlines and other things like that from late

and other things like that from late June and early July onwards. And that's

June and early July onwards. And that's only going to accelerate in August when

only going to accelerate in August when we get that that Leo eclipse. Um, but

we get that that Leo eclipse. Um, but then

then >> I like that I think a grandise is a

>> I like that I think a grandise is a really good term.

really good term. >> Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. And there's some

>> Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. And there's some parts of that that are going to be good

parts of that that are going to be good things for some of those Leos

things for some of those Leos subjectively during the early parts of

subjectively during the early parts of that the grandisement.

that the grandisement. But then later in the year when Mars

But then later in the year when Mars gets involved, things become more

gets involved, things become more troubling and there's more drawbacks and

troubling and there's more drawbacks and um conflict that starts coming up in

um conflict that starts coming up in that area with the people that have that

that area with the people that have that placement prominent.

placement prominent. >> Absolutely. I would say that the um that

>> Absolutely. I would say that the um that the trouble starts as as soon as that

the trouble starts as as soon as that that first eclipse in Leo lands and that

that first eclipse in Leo lands and that Morris adds to that.

Morris adds to that. >> Let me just show that um eclipse then

>> Let me just show that um eclipse then since we're really getting into it here.

since we're really getting into it here. Uh so our second eclipse season

Uh so our second eclipse season is taking place in August with the first

is taking place in August with the first eclipse being

eclipse being um this solar eclipse that occurs in Leo

um this solar eclipse that occurs in Leo at 20° of Leo in August 12th. So the

at 20° of Leo in August 12th. So the eclipse season officially begins about a

eclipse season officially begins about a week before that by around August 5th or

week before that by around August 5th or so. It peaks with that first eclipse in

so. It peaks with that first eclipse in Leo and then we get that um it's always

Leo and then we get that um it's always the most intense in between the two

the most intense in between the two weeks that follow the first eclipse and

weeks that follow the first eclipse and then we get the second eclipse is a

then we get the second eclipse is a lunar eclipse in Pisces on August se

lunar eclipse in Pisces on August se 27th which then means that eclipse

27th which then means that eclipse season doesn't end until sometime in the

season doesn't end until sometime in the first week of September around the 4th

first week of September around the 4th or so. Um, so what part of what this

or so. Um, so what part of what this brings up that I mentioned earlier is

brings up that I mentioned earlier is how this is going to be this partially

how this is going to be this partially represents us wrapping up or heading

represents us wrapping up or heading towards wrapping up the Virgo Pisces

towards wrapping up the Virgo Pisces eclipse season or or eclipse series I

eclipse season or or eclipse series I should say that's been happening since

should say that's been happening since 2024 when we had our first lunar eclipse

2024 when we had our first lunar eclipse in Pisces in September of 2024 and then

in Pisces in September of 2024 and then our first lunar eclipse in Virgo in

our first lunar eclipse in Virgo in March of 2025. five. So, we're going to

March of 2025. five. So, we're going to get um

get um in 2026 this lunar eclipse in Pisces,

in 2026 this lunar eclipse in Pisces, but then the last eclipse of that series

but then the last eclipse of that series happens in February of 2027 in Virgo,

happens in February of 2027 in Virgo, and then we're all finished with that.

and then we're all finished with that. So what we're seeing then is the later

So what we're seeing then is the later parts of a sequence of eclipses that

parts of a sequence of eclipses that were representing a series of major

were representing a series of major beginnings and major endings in the

beginnings and major endings in the Virgo and Pisces sectors of our charts

Virgo and Pisces sectors of our charts that should be headed towards completion

that should be headed towards completion and headed towards wrapping up whatever

and headed towards wrapping up whatever that um unfolding of a sequence of

that um unfolding of a sequence of events has been over the past year or

events has been over the past year or two that these eclipses represent.

two that these eclipses represent. So that's that's one part of that. And

So that's that's one part of that. And then the other part of that is that this

then the other part of that is that this also represents the beginning of the new

also represents the beginning of the new sequence of eclipses in Aquarius and

sequence of eclipses in Aquarius and Leo, which started in February of 2026

Leo, which started in February of 2026 with the first eclipse in Aquarius. And

with the first eclipse in Aquarius. And then we get the second half of that in

then we get the second half of that in August with the first eclipse in Leo,

August with the first eclipse in Leo, but then we're going to have eclipses

but then we're going to have eclipses bouncing back and forth between those

bouncing back and forth between those two signs going all the way until 2028.

two signs going all the way until 2028. So, this is truly um opening up a new

So, this is truly um opening up a new chapter where we're going to have in the

chapter where we're going to have in the Leo and Aquarius sectors of our charts

Leo and Aquarius sectors of our charts some things coming to a major ending and

some things coming to a major ending and some closures of major things that have

some closures of major things that have been happening in that area of our life

been happening in that area of our life for years up to this point. But then

for years up to this point. But then also as a result of those closures,

also as a result of those closures, we're going to see new beginnings and

we're going to see new beginnings and the humble origins of new trends that

the humble origins of new trends that are going to emerge over the course of

are going to emerge over the course of the next two years.

the next two years. Boy, will we?

Boy, will we? >> Yeah. So, that's super important. And

>> Yeah. So, that's super important. And then that's one of the reasons why the

then that's one of the reasons why the um ingress of Jupiter into Leo is

um ingress of Jupiter into Leo is important because we got a double

important because we got a double activation of Leo going on between those

activation of Leo going on between those two basically from July into August. Um,

two basically from July into August. Um, what else is going on? that Jupiter,

what else is going on? that Jupiter, we're going to get into that more in the

we're going to get into that more in the monthly breakdown. But I'm not super

monthly breakdown. But I'm not super stoked though that Jupiter opposes Pluto

stoked though that Jupiter opposes Pluto as soon as it goes into Leo because like

as soon as it goes into Leo because like one of my references for that is I

one of my references for that is I remember the flip side of that which was

remember the flip side of that which was the Jupiter Pluto conjunction in 2020

the Jupiter Pluto conjunction in 2020 where we had three of those and the two

where we had three of those and the two primary things if you go back and listen

primary things if you go back and listen to the forecast episodes I was noting at

to the forecast episodes I was noting at the time as those conjunctions were

the time as those conjunctions were happening is near each conjunction we

happening is near each conjunction we were seeing a proliferation of sometimes

were seeing a proliferation of sometimes conspiracy theories for lack of a better

conspiracy theories for lack of a better word, where sometimes um the truth was

word, where sometimes um the truth was being manipulated by people in power in

being manipulated by people in power in order to get the masses to do things by

order to get the masses to do things by misleading them was one of the

misleading them was one of the archetypal things I was noticing about

archetypal things I was noticing about that. But that was also during the

that. But that was also during the period in which with co like some of the

period in which with co like some of the highest death numbers were happening um

highest death numbers were happening um when those two planets like came

when those two planets like came together. Exactly. Um so those are two

together. Exactly. Um so those are two of my takeaways back in 2020. So

of my takeaways back in 2020. So not

not >> I just add to that um moment in 2020 or

>> I just add to that um moment in 2020 or that those series of moments is Jupiter

that those series of moments is Jupiter Pluto is found in a conspicuously

Pluto is found in a conspicuously large number of um not just billionaire

large number of um not just billionaire but like mega billionaire charts and we

but like mega billionaire charts and we had um uh we had people uh in the top 1%

had um uh we had people uh in the top 1% of the 1% of the 1% doing extremely well

of the 1% of the 1% doing extremely well financially during during those same

financially during during those same Jupiter Pluto conjunctions in 2020,

Jupiter Pluto conjunctions in 2020, >> right? Although it was because they were

>> right? Although it was because they were taking advantage of a catastrophic crash

taking advantage of a catastrophic crash where the market took a nose dive

where the market took a nose dive basically during COVID. But the ones

basically during COVID. But the ones that had enough money and were smart,

that had enough money and were smart, they immediately jumped in and invested

they immediately jumped in and invested during those times and then came out of

during those times and then came out of it making huge amounts of money.

it making huge amounts of money. >> Yeah. Um

>> Yeah. Um so yeah, one thing, so here's my here's

so yeah, one thing, so here's my here's a hopeful thing for this Jupiter Pluto

a hopeful thing for this Jupiter Pluto opposition. Um so in that we've seen

opposition. Um so in that we've seen Pluto um very Pluto and Aquarius very

Pluto um very Pluto and Aquarius very consistently measuring the march of AI

consistently measuring the march of AI if Jupiter is opposing that in this warm

if Jupiter is opposing that in this warm and rather humane um sign of Leo. Um,

and rather humane um sign of Leo. Um, perhaps that is the formation of some

perhaps that is the formation of some meaningful cultural resistance to the

meaningful cultural resistance to the potential excesses or negative impacts

potential excesses or negative impacts that AI everywhere and everything can

that AI everywhere and everything can have.

have. >> The the founding of the human resistance

>> The the founding of the human resistance from the Terminator franchise.

from the Terminator franchise. >> Sure. or like the centering of I don't

>> Sure. or like the centering of I don't know individual consciousness as opposed

know individual consciousness as opposed to the collective consciousness which

to the collective consciousness which the AI sort of represents or the the

the AI sort of represents or the the individual the creativity of the

individual the creativity of the individual let's say as opposed to the

individual let's say as opposed to the creativity of the collective which all

creativity of the collective which all of the AI stuff is just drawing on

of the AI stuff is just drawing on people's individual creations and then

people's individual creations and then is just like um creating something new

is just like um creating something new and artificial based on that but maybe

and artificial based on that but maybe there'll be a a counter trend.

there'll be a a counter trend. >> Yeah. like the um uh with Jupiter and

>> Yeah. like the um uh with Jupiter and Leo and with Leo in general, you get um

Leo and with Leo in general, you get um you get a lot of aur type figures,

you get a lot of aur type figures, right? Where it's like the writer

right? Where it's like the writer director and like, hey, it's actually

director and like, hey, it's actually really nice when one person is like

really nice when one person is like primarily responsible and it's a

primarily responsible and it's a coherent vision rather than a committee

coherent vision rather than a committee design. Um and again, we see a lot of

design. Um and again, we see a lot of famous aours have big piles in LEO. Um

famous aours have big piles in LEO. Um and that idea of um aur cinema and

and that idea of um aur cinema and authorship in general extended outward

authorship in general extended outward into culture in general as it is being

into culture in general as it is being juxtaposed by um like the the AI

juxtaposed by um like the the AI creations are exactly the opposite of

creations are exactly the opposite of autour theory.

autour theory. >> Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. and

>> Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. and where the creative output and success is

where the creative output and success is often centered on like the personality

often centered on like the personality and the the persona of the individual um

and the the persona of the individual um in in a distinct way.

in in a distinct way. >> Right. Right. Well, it's sort of uh I

>> Right. Right. Well, it's sort of uh I don't know there's you know there's a

don't know there's you know there's a famous piece written piece from many

famous piece written piece from many decades ago called the death of the

decades ago called the death of the author. And so the um uh the people have

author. And so the um uh the people have debated the death of the author for a

debated the death of the author for a very long time. This seems like another

very long time. This seems like another uh very important round of debate about

uh very important round of debate about whether the the author uh is or is not

whether the the author uh is or is not dead. The Schroinger's author.

dead. The Schroinger's author. [Music]

[Music] Yeah. All right. So, that's kind of

Yeah. All right. So, that's kind of Jupiter and Leo. We'll talk about more

Jupiter and Leo. We'll talk about more about that later. That's kind of also

about that later. That's kind of also Eclipse season two.

Eclipse season two. We don't have anything more to say about

We don't have anything more to say about that, right?

that, right? >> No. I mean really it's um uh it yeah it

>> No. I mean really it's um uh it yeah it it coincides with it uh it connects with

it coincides with it uh it connects with the Jupiter themes um it may negate some

the Jupiter themes um it may negate some it may hyperinflate others and then the

it may hyperinflate others and then the other one um the one in Pisces is a

other one um the one in Pisces is a continuation just as you said of what

continuation just as you said of what we've been doing won't be done with

we've been doing won't be done with until early 2027.

until early 2027. >> Right. Right. Okay. So yeah, but people

>> Right. Right. Okay. So yeah, but people should just prepare for the major

should just prepare for the major endings, the major beginnings that have

endings, the major beginnings that have been happening in the Virgo and Pisces

been happening in the Virgo and Pisces houses of your chart. That energy

houses of your chart. That energy starting to shift dramatically towards

starting to shift dramatically towards the Leo and Aquarius houses of your

the Leo and Aquarius houses of your chart of major endings and major

chart of major endings and major beginnings.

beginnings. >> Right? So that'll be um the the end of

>> Right? So that'll be um the the end of August is the very last eclipse in

August is the very last eclipse in Pisces. There's one more in Virgo to go,

Pisces. There's one more in Virgo to go, but that's basically the wrap-up for the

but that's basically the wrap-up for the Pisces side.

Pisces side. That's crazy because then that's also

That's crazy because then that's also just wrapping up this whole experience

just wrapping up this whole experience of Saturn and Neptune in Pisces that's

of Saturn and Neptune in Pisces that's been going on since March of 2023 and

been going on since March of 2023 and already a lot of the fatigue that people

already a lot of the fatigue that people have had in Saturn going through that

have had in Saturn going through that sector of their chart. A lot of the

sector of their chart. A lot of the added responsibility and like the

added responsibility and like the weightiness of that. And while Saturn

weightiness of that. And while Saturn has departed already earlier in the

has departed already earlier in the year, having that final eclipse in

year, having that final eclipse in Pisces at this time in August is really

Pisces at this time in August is really going to put like a cap a capstone on

going to put like a cap a capstone on what that entire experience has been

what that entire experience has been about over the past 3 years. Yeah. And

about over the past 3 years. Yeah. And as I mentioned in a previous episode,

as I mentioned in a previous episode, there's been at least one outer planet

there's been at least one outer planet in Pisces, either Uranus or Neptune,

in Pisces, either Uranus or Neptune, since 2003.

since 2003. >> Since 2003. Yeah, you're right. Uranus

>> Since 2003. Yeah, you're right. Uranus went into Pisces and then Uranus leaves

went into Pisces and then Uranus leaves um excuse me, Uranus leaves Pisces.

um excuse me, Uranus leaves Pisces. >> Excuse me. And then about within a month

>> Excuse me. And then about within a month Neptune's in Pisces,

Neptune's in Pisces, >> in 2011.

>> in 2011. >> Yeah. So 2011 was the big shift of

>> Yeah. So 2011 was the big shift of Neptune into Pisces and that's the other

Neptune into Pisces and that's the other thing that's ending this year. Um okay.

thing that's ending this year. Um okay. So I think that's good. I want to move

So I think that's good. I want to move on to the last two major transits that

on to the last two major transits that start happening in the last quarter of

start happening in the last quarter of the year. And the first one is we get a

the year. And the first one is we get a Venus retrograde that takes place in the

Venus retrograde that takes place in the signs of Libra and Scorpio in October

signs of Libra and Scorpio in October and November when Venus slows down in

and November when Venus slows down in the sky and then turns around and starts

the sky and then turns around and starts moving backwards in the order of the

moving backwards in the order of the signs of the zodiac for a period of

signs of the zodiac for a period of about 40 days and 40 nights. So, here's

about 40 days and 40 nights. So, here's a diagram that Paige made that shows the

a diagram that Paige made that shows the Venus retrograde, which is in the

Venus retrograde, which is in the middle, where Venus stations retrograde

middle, where Venus stations retrograde at 8° of Scorpio on October 3rd, and

at 8° of Scorpio on October 3rd, and then it retrogrades back into Libra

then it retrogrades back into Libra before stationing direct on November

before stationing direct on November 13th at 22° of Libra. But one of the

13th at 22° of Libra. But one of the things we learned about Venus

things we learned about Venus retrogrades in the last Venus retrograde

retrogrades in the last Venus retrograde that occurred in Aries and Pisces at the

that occurred in Aries and Pisces at the beginning of 2025

beginning of 2025 was that part of what happens when Venus

was that part of what happens when Venus goes retrograde in a couple of signs is

goes retrograde in a couple of signs is it's not just the retrograde itself, but

it's not just the retrograde itself, but it's also Venus spending an extended

it's also Venus spending an extended period of time in two signs of the

period of time in two signs of the zodiac and basically in two sectors of

zodiac and basically in two sectors of our chart over a several month period.

our chart over a several month period. And when you look at it from that

And when you look at it from that standpoint, the broader um period that's

standpoint, the broader um period that's relevant related to this starts to build

relevant related to this starts to build up on August 6th when Venus first moves

up on August 6th when Venus first moves into the sign of Libra, which is the

into the sign of Libra, which is the sign it will retrograde back to. And

sign it will retrograde back to. And then Venus enters its shadow degree,

then Venus enters its shadow degree, which is the degree it will later

which is the degree it will later retrograde back to at 22 degrees of

retrograde back to at 22 degrees of Libra on August 31st.

Libra on August 31st. And then after that, after Venus

And then after that, after Venus stations direct in mid- November, it

stations direct in mid- November, it doesn't exit its shadow degree at 8

doesn't exit its shadow degree at 8 degrees of Scorpio until December 15th.

degrees of Scorpio until December 15th. And then it doesn't completely depart

And then it doesn't completely depart from the signs that it went retrograde

from the signs that it went retrograde in until January 7th. So, what we're

in until January 7th. So, what we're going to see here is the unfolding of a

going to see here is the unfolding of a sequence of events between early August

sequence of events between early August and early January um that are very much

and early January um that are very much centered on the retrograde in October

centered on the retrograde in October and November, but are are connected to a

and November, but are are connected to a broader series of events that we'll all

broader series of events that we'll all be experiencing in the later part of

be experiencing in the later part of this year.

>> Yeah. So, Venus retrograde keywords. Um, one of the things about Venus

one of the things about Venus retrograde, of course, is it has this

retrograde, of course, is it has this backwards looking orientation where

backwards looking orientation where there's um people from your past

there's um people from your past sometimes that comes back. There's

sometimes that comes back. There's situations from the past that sometimes

situations from the past that sometimes become relevant again to the present.

become relevant again to the present. And there's a sense of having to

And there's a sense of having to sometimes visit and redo the past and

sometimes visit and redo the past and decide whether you want to res take

decide whether you want to res take something from the past and bring it

something from the past and bring it back into your future and take it with

back into your future and take it with you or whether you're going to revisit

you or whether you're going to revisit the past but decide that what was in the

the past but decide that what was in the past is best to stay there basically and

past is best to stay there basically and then you move forward without it. That's

then you move forward without it. That's one of the the core themes that come up

one of the the core themes that come up during Venus retrogrades.

during Venus retrogrades. >> Yeah, definitely. Um

>> Yeah, definitely. Um the Venus retrogrades are, you know,

the Venus retrogrades are, you know, simil or similar in action to Mercury

simil or similar in action to Mercury retrogrades, but the types of

retrogrades, but the types of connections

connections um that are made or unmade um are not so

um that are made or unmade um are not so blly or easily cast aside or reconnected

blly or easily cast aside or reconnected because it's not justformational.

because it's not justformational. With Venus, it's like do we retie? Do I

With Venus, it's like do we retie? Do I retather myself to this person, to this

retather myself to this person, to this thing, to this endeavor, to this place?

thing, to this endeavor, to this place? And so the questions about like whether

And so the questions about like whether to reconnect or stay connected or

to reconnect or stay connected or disconnect are all uh are all uh should

disconnect are all uh are all uh should we say uh have an emotional uh an

we say uh have an emotional uh an emotional and life weight to them.

emotional and life weight to them. They're they're substantial, right?

They're they're substantial, right? there's uh it's much more in the realm

there's uh it's much more in the realm of of living tissue rather than

of of living tissue rather than abstracted numbers and letters and so

abstracted numbers and letters and so lots of relational questions and so this

lots of relational questions and so this is uh this one happens during fall in

is uh this one happens during fall in the northern hemisphere every 8 years so

the northern hemisphere every 8 years so 2018 2010 2002 and as I was thinking

2018 2010 2002 and as I was thinking through these Chris I I have a I have a

through these Chris I I have a I have a a perfect memory of Venus retrograde in

a perfect memory of Venus retrograde in Scorpio from 2002. So, scorpionic

Scorpio from 2002. So, scorpionic themes. Venus uh Venus is uh in

themes. Venus uh Venus is uh in detriment or exile in Scorpio because

detriment or exile in Scorpio because many of the things that we find in

many of the things that we find in Scorpio are not easy to love. They're

Scorpio are not easy to love. They're not easy to enjoy. One of the themes um

not easy to enjoy. One of the themes um that we might see in Scorpio is decay.

that we might see in Scorpio is decay. Um as it is uh in the northern

Um as it is uh in the northern hemisphere often a quite moist time of

hemisphere often a quite moist time of year where things are happy to rot. And

year where things are happy to rot. And in the fall of 2002, I found myself uh

in the fall of 2002, I found myself uh recently graduated from uh college

recently graduated from uh college working in a radio shack, which was a

working in a radio shack, which was a rotting business, soon to go soon to go

rotting business, soon to go soon to go out of business across the land in a

out of business across the land in a dying mall, right? You remember malls in

dying mall, right? You remember malls in a dying mall in a dying rust belt town

a dying mall in a dying rust belt town in Ohio where I grew up. And um during

in Ohio where I grew up. And um during that time um my college girlfriend was

that time um my college girlfriend was like, "Yeah, we live in different

like, "Yeah, we live in different places. We should probably just be

places. We should probably just be done." And I was like, "That's

done." And I was like, "That's reasonable." But you know, I found

reasonable." But you know, I found myself um newly single, so uh alone and

myself um newly single, so uh alone and then surrounded in like a three layer

then surrounded in like a three layer like three layer concentric rot onion. I

like three layer concentric rot onion. I was like, "That's such good Venus

was like, "That's such good Venus retrograde and Scorpio content.

retrograde and Scorpio content. >> I love that. That's perfect.

>> I love that. That's perfect. >> And everything was fine. Uh, I saved up

>> And everything was fine. Uh, I saved up a bunch of money. Um, and then I got the

a bunch of money. Um, and then I got the out of there. But I had to do that

out of there. But I had to do that like retrograde season in the abyss.

like retrograde season in the abyss. >> I hung on the meat hook alone

>> I hung on the meat hook alone >> in Mansfield

>> in Mansfield uh at the public mall in the Radio

uh at the public mall in the Radio Shack. You could come and throw things

Shack. You could come and throw things at me while I uh rested upon the meat

at me while I uh rested upon the meat hook uh shilling cell phones.

hook uh shilling cell phones. >> Oh man, I wish I could have been there

>> Oh man, I wish I could have been there to see that.

to see that. That's good. Um, yeah. So, the

That's good. Um, yeah. So, the repetitions of Venus retrograde are very

repetitions of Venus retrograde are very strong because of that 8-year

strong because of that 8-year repetition. That's something we saw very

repetition. That's something we saw very vividly earlier this year in early 2025

vividly earlier this year in early 2025 when we had the retrograde in Aries. And

when we had the retrograde in Aries. And then all of these events and

then all of these events and circumstances and scenarios from

circumstances and scenarios from previous Venus retrogrades started

previous Venus retrogrades started coming back up again, not just in

coming back up again, not just in people's individual lives, but also in

people's individual lives, but also in terms of world events. So, I actually

terms of world events. So, I actually created a slide here uh to give people

created a slide here uh to give people all of the Venus retrogrades in Scorpio

all of the Venus retrogrades in Scorpio that have occurred over the past century

that have occurred over the past century that will call back not just um events

that will call back not just um events in people's personal lives, but also

in people's personal lives, but also situations uh in world events. So the

situations uh in world events. So the the full Venus retrograde in Scorpio

the full Venus retrograde in Scorpio list is 2026, 2018, 2010, 2002, 1994,

list is 2026, 2018, 2010, 2002, 1994, 1986, 1978, 1970, 1962, 1954, 1946,

1986, 1978, 1970, 1962, 1954, 1946, 1938, 1930, 1922,

1938, 1930, 1922, 1914, and 1906.

1914, and 1906. So, um, we're going to see the Venus

So, um, we're going to see the Venus retrograde was always

retrograde was always later in like the the fourth quarter of

later in like the the fourth quarter of each of those years. So, especially

each of those years. So, especially things that happened in the fourth

things that happened in the fourth quarter of those years, we're going to

quarter of those years, we're going to see come back again as repeating

see come back again as repeating circumstances and scenarios in our time.

circumstances and scenarios in our time. Uh, like I said, in both personal events

Uh, like I said, in both personal events and and mundane events. You know what

and and mundane events. You know what just occurred to me um is that boy the

just occurred to me um is that boy the fourth quarter of a lot of those years

fourth quarter of a lot of those years includes a ton of really uh decisive

includes a ton of really uh decisive midterm elections in the United States.

midterm elections in the United States. >> Yeah, that is going to be certainly the

>> Yeah, that is going to be certainly the focal point of things happening in the

focal point of things happening in the US as the US midterms will be taking

US as the US midterms will be taking place in uh early November of 2026.

place in uh early November of 2026. >> Yeah. But yeah, you can go back, I don't

>> Yeah. But yeah, you can go back, I don't know, for most of the last, I don't

know, for most of the last, I don't know, at least 24 years, and those are

know, at least 24 years, and those are all um pretty significant midterms.

all um pretty significant midterms. >> Yeah. Um and I'm sure this one will be.

>> Yeah. Um and I'm sure this one will be. I mean, one of the things that sucks

I mean, one of the things that sucks though is this Venus retrograde, you

though is this Venus retrograde, you know, there's some Venus retrogrades

know, there's some Venus retrogrades that maybe um are a little bit more

that maybe um are a little bit more pleasant than others because of the

pleasant than others because of the aspects to how it starts. This one truly

aspects to how it starts. This one truly does not look good at the beginning

does not look good at the beginning because when Venus stations retrograde

because when Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio in early October, uh it has

in Scorpio in early October, uh it has some really rough aspects to Pluto and

some really rough aspects to Pluto and Mars because there's a Mars Pluto

Mars because there's a Mars Pluto opposition going exact at the almost

opposition going exact at the almost exact same time as Venus is stationing

exact same time as Venus is stationing retrograde. And you know, it's also

retrograde. And you know, it's also happening in Scorpio. And I just I was

happening in Scorpio. And I just I was hoping for a I don't know, more

hoping for a I don't know, more pleasantl looking Venus retrograde

pleasantl looking Venus retrograde station than what we're what we're

station than what we're what we're looking at here. Yeah, it's um

looking at here. Yeah, it's um pretty max.

pretty max. It's misery maxing. And in addition, we

It's misery maxing. And in addition, we also get a Mercury retrograde uh in

also get a Mercury retrograde uh in Scorpio nestled inside the Venus

Scorpio nestled inside the Venus retrograde.

retrograde. So, it's it's definitely um it's

So, it's it's definitely um it's definitely the Venus the um every 8

definitely the Venus the um every 8 years Q4 Venus retrograde in Scorpio um

years Q4 Venus retrograde in Scorpio um but like on max difficulty. it will it's

but like on max difficulty. it will it's more upsetting. It's more dramatic. Um

more upsetting. It's more dramatic. Um you know the changes wrought um may be

you know the changes wrought um may be more impactful and permanent in good

more impactful and permanent in good ways too. Um but the ordeal quality that

ways too. Um but the ordeal quality that Venus retrogrades always have will

Venus retrogrades always have will certainly be present.

certainly be present. Yeah, it'll be less of the like

Yeah, it'll be less of the like >> off thebeaten. It's It'll be less the

>> off thebeaten. It's It'll be less the unorthodox fun side of Venus

unorthodox fun side of Venus retrogrades, which is a side of Venus

retrogrades, which is a side of Venus retrogrades and more the Inana's ordeal,

retrogrades and more the Inana's ordeal, which we learn things from and is

which we learn things from and is significant and maybe better for us in

significant and maybe better for us in the long run than the unorthodox fun

the long run than the unorthodox fun side, but certainly more difficult to

side, but certainly more difficult to experience.

experience. Yeah, I think it's going to we're going

Yeah, I think it's going to we're going to see more of the scandal and like

to see more of the scandal and like provocative things side of Venus

provocative things side of Venus retrograde taking place. Um, some of the

retrograde taking place. Um, some of the either breakups or getting involved with

either breakups or getting involved with an ex type things are going to be much

an ex type things are going to be much more tumultuous than they would have

more tumultuous than they would have been in other Venus retrogrades where it

been in other Venus retrogrades where it might have been more pleasant. Um,

might have been more pleasant. Um, >> yeah, this one this one has a really raw

>> yeah, this one this one has a really raw look to the first the first portion.

look to the first the first portion. Yeah, it does get a little bit better

Yeah, it does get a little bit better once Venus stations direct. Like this is

once Venus stations direct. Like this is definitely I'm glad you mentioned the

definitely I'm glad you mentioned the descent of Anana which is often one of

descent of Anana which is often one of our core myths that's goes back the most

our core myths that's goes back the most furthest to the ancient Babylonian

furthest to the ancient Babylonian period from 3,000 years ago maybe even

period from 3,000 years ago maybe even 4,000 years ago in terms of that myth um

4,000 years ago in terms of that myth um where Anana is like this this queen who

where Anana is like this this queen who is takes this descent to the underworld

is takes this descent to the underworld and has to give up all of her power and

and has to give up all of her power and um possessions and and clothing and

um possessions and and clothing and everything else and gets stuck in the

everything else and gets stuck in the underworld. world, but then eventually

underworld. world, but then eventually emerges and comes back on the other side

emerges and comes back on the other side of it, a changed a changed woman. I

of it, a changed a changed woman. I think we're going to see uh that theme

think we're going to see uh that theme much more vividly this time than even

much more vividly this time than even previous Venus retrogrades because it

previous Venus retrogrades because it starts off so difficult difficultly. But

starts off so difficult difficultly. But then when Venus does emerge and

then when Venus does emerge and eventually stations direct, it stations

eventually stations direct, it stations direct in Venus's home sign of Libra and

direct in Venus's home sign of Libra and Mercury stations direct the exact same

Mercury stations direct the exact same day in November on November 13th.

day in November on November 13th. >> Yeah. Yeah. This one's definitely

>> Yeah. Yeah. This one's definitely frontloaded as far as difficulty goes.

frontloaded as far as difficulty goes. >> Yeah. So, there'll be some surprise

>> Yeah. So, there'll be some surprise comebacks like returning from a period

comebacks like returning from a period of obscurity. Um or

of obscurity. Um or yeah, emerging with a more authentic

yeah, emerging with a more authentic persona after going through like a dark

persona after going through like a dark knight of the soul type period will

knight of the soul type period will probably be pretty common during that.

probably be pretty common during that. Yeah, there'll probably be a lot of

Yeah, there'll probably be a lot of really

really loud and bloody crashs at the beginning

loud and bloody crashs at the beginning and then a disappearance and people

and then a disappearance and people returned with their actually back

returned with their actually back together,

together, right?

right? Let's see. Other keywords for that that

Let's see. Other keywords for that that we learned this year with Venus

we learned this year with Venus retrograde are like severing alliances,

retrograde are like severing alliances, like breaking of diplomatic ties, um

like breaking of diplomatic ties, um leaving groups that no longer align with

leaving groups that no longer align with your values and different things like

your values and different things like that.

that. like messy messy breakups I think is

like messy messy breakups I think is going to be a good keyword.

going to be a good keyword. >> Yeah. Yeah. Or and or alliances and um

>> Yeah. Yeah. Or and or alliances and um membership in groups or Yeah. Like those

membership in groups or Yeah. Like those sort of things thrown into question cuz

sort of things thrown into question cuz sometimes the Venus retrogrades will

sometimes the Venus retrogrades will throw things into question. It'll look

throw things into question. It'll look like the like you know like the there's

like the like you know like the there's a falling out but then it's restored but

a falling out but then it's restored but maybe not. But like throwing into

maybe not. But like throwing into serious question where it's you cannot

serious question where it's you cannot be certain that um the United States and

be certain that um the United States and Canada will not um will not be at war.

Canada will not um will not be at war. I'm just joking about that. But like you

I'm just joking about that. But like you just you know it's something that you

just you know it's something that you take for granted that there will be

take for granted that there will be peaceful relationships between uh two

peaceful relationships between uh two entities or countries and that being

entities or countries and that being thrown up into the air as a question

thrown up into the air as a question mark.

mark. >> Okay. And some of them right some of

>> Okay. And some of them right some of them being alliances that are broken

them being alliances that are broken then and some of them merely being

then and some of them merely being thrown into question but that being a

thrown into question but that being a meaningful characterization of that

meaningful characterization of that period where there's uncertainty around

period where there's uncertainty around uh relationships between individuals and

uh relationships between individuals and entities.

entities. >> Yeah, definitely. One of the things

>> Yeah, definitely. One of the things about Venus going retrograde in Scorpio

about Venus going retrograde in Scorpio is it's the sign of Venus's detriment or

is it's the sign of Venus's detriment or antithesis or exile. And one of the key

antithesis or exile. And one of the key words I wrote down for that is the

words I wrote down for that is the outsider becomes the insider. Where

outsider becomes the insider. Where sometimes in Venus retrogrades in

sometimes in Venus retrogrades in general, but maybe especially this one,

general, but maybe especially this one, we have marginalized voices or

we have marginalized voices or especially marginalized aesthetics

especially marginalized aesthetics suddenly becoming the center of

suddenly becoming the center of attention or the center of fashion. And

attention or the center of fashion. And I think that's even more the case here

I think that's even more the case here because we have Venus retrograde in

because we have Venus retrograde in Scorpio. And just thinking of sometimes

Scorpio. And just thinking of sometimes like a Venus in Scorpio is like a gothic

like a Venus in Scorpio is like a gothic type of aesthetic or a darker aesthetic

type of aesthetic or a darker aesthetic in general and is often outside of the

in general and is often outside of the mainstream, but for some reason it

mainstream, but for some reason it becoming more prominent as part of the

becoming more prominent as part of the mainstream at this time.

mainstream at this time. >> Yeah. Yeah. Um Yeah. The Gothic or sort

>> Yeah. Yeah. Um Yeah. The Gothic or sort ofial

ofial um Yeah. It would be interesting to see

um Yeah. It would be interesting to see if um if dark colors uh end up on like

if um if dark colors uh end up on like on the palette consistently with this uh

on the palette consistently with this uh this one every eight years.

this one every eight years. >> Yeah.

>> Yeah. >> Which is in what I'll just say is in

>> Which is in what I'll just say is in real contrast to the Jupiter and Leo

real contrast to the Jupiter and Leo vibes,

vibes, >> right? Because Jupiter's in Leo um for a

>> right? Because Jupiter's in Leo um for a year and Jupiter Leo is like sunny. It's

year and Jupiter Leo is like sunny. It's bright. It's um

bright. It's um >> loud.

>> loud. >> Yeah. Bright, loud. It's not um dark and

>> Yeah. Bright, loud. It's not um dark and brooding. Whereas this is um Venus um

brooding. Whereas this is um Venus um setting a very dark and brooding tone.

setting a very dark and brooding tone. >> Yeah. Dark and brooding, but beautiful

>> Yeah. Dark and brooding, but beautiful and like strangely magnetic.

and like strangely magnetic. um even though it's initially doing

um even though it's initially doing something that's weird that seems weird

something that's weird that seems weird or seems so um not normal, not normative

or seems so um not normal, not normative basically that it stands out and rubs

basically that it stands out and rubs people the wrong way at first but then

people the wrong way at first but then eventually by the end of it like lots of

eventually by the end of it like lots of people start doing that thing it becomes

people start doing that thing it becomes trendy.

trendy. >> Yeah. Something that seems anti-

>> Yeah. Something that seems anti- aesthetic but then gets appreciated or

aesthetic but then gets appreciated or incorporated.

incorporated. >> Yeah. And that that brings up one of the

>> Yeah. And that that brings up one of the core keywords that I sort of came to um

core keywords that I sort of came to um in the episode I did with Ellie Higgins

in the episode I did with Ellie Higgins earlier this year where we're looking at

earlier this year where we're looking at like Venus retrograde in Aries and queer

like Venus retrograde in Aries and queer history. But there became this recurring

history. But there became this recurring theme with Venus retrograde of normative

theme with Venus retrograde of normative versus non-normative and the tensions

versus non-normative and the tensions that arise during all Venus retrogrades

that arise during all Venus retrogrades about traditional values and modern

about traditional values and modern expressions of identity versus ones that

expressions of identity versus ones that are like non-normative whether it's like

are like non-normative whether it's like gender or sexuality or relationship

gender or sexuality or relationship structures becoming more prominent at

structures becoming more prominent at this time when the non-normative

this time when the non-normative basically becomes more prominent.

basically becomes more prominent. >> Yeah. Right. Yeah. That that makes

>> Yeah. Right. Yeah. That that makes that's a the normative and non-normative

that's a the normative and non-normative is a good way to put it. I was thinking

is a good way to put it. I was thinking like I use the term unorthodox. I think

like I use the term unorthodox. I think normative is probably better than

normative is probably better than orthodox, but

orthodox, but >> yeah, I like I like I like that. That's

>> yeah, I like I like I like that. That's good. Uh unorthodox versus orthodox.

good. Uh unorthodox versus orthodox. Um okay. makes it sound makes it sound a

Um okay. makes it sound makes it sound a little little churchy. But I'm glad you

little little churchy. But I'm glad you uh that I was communicating because it

uh that I was communicating because it really is about like yeah aesthetic and

really is about like yeah aesthetic and relational pattern and um yeah and the

relational pattern and um yeah and the the choices and patterns that are

the choices and patterns that are normative and unorthodox uh at a given

normative and unorthodox uh at a given period of time and the continued like

period of time and the continued like mutation and back and forth of what's

mutation and back and forth of what's normal um as it changes.

normal um as it changes. >> Absolutely. All right. The last major

>> Absolutely. All right. The last major transit we've got to talk about in this

transit we've got to talk about in this overview before we do a monthly

overview before we do a monthly breakdown is

breakdown is uh is the Mars retrograde that's

uh is the Mars retrograde that's building up in Virgo and Leo towards the

building up in Virgo and Leo towards the end of the year as 2026 is wrapping up.

end of the year as 2026 is wrapping up. So Mars isn't going to actually station

So Mars isn't going to actually station retrograde until January 10th of 2027,

retrograde until January 10th of 2027, more than a year from now. Uh it's going

more than a year from now. Uh it's going to go retrograde at 10 degrees of Virgo

to go retrograde at 10 degrees of Virgo and it's going to retrograde back into

and it's going to retrograde back into Leo before it stations direct at 20 Leo

Leo before it stations direct at 20 Leo on April 1st, 2027. So that's actually

on April 1st, 2027. So that's actually the core nucleus of the retrograde. But

the core nucleus of the retrograde. But again, because a retrograde also

again, because a retrograde also represents a planet spending an extended

represents a planet spending an extended period of time in one or two signs, when

period of time in one or two signs, when we look at it from that perspective, we

we look at it from that perspective, we realize that Mars already goes into the

realize that Mars already goes into the sign it will retrograde back to, which

sign it will retrograde back to, which is Leo on September 27th, and then it

is Leo on September 27th, and then it enters its shadow degree at 20° of Leo

enters its shadow degree at 20° of Leo on November 5th. So, we're already

on November 5th. So, we're already building up to the retrograde and

building up to the retrograde and there's already starting to be the

there's already starting to be the unfolding of the sequence of events that

unfolding of the sequence of events that will become the most intense during the

will become the most intense during the retrograde itself in the buildup to it

retrograde itself in the buildup to it in the last quarter of this year,

in the last quarter of this year, especially let's say October, November,

especially let's say October, November, December of 2026. Then we have the

December of 2026. Then we have the retrograde and then it's not until like

retrograde and then it's not until like July 15th of 2027 that Mars will finally

July 15th of 2027 that Mars will finally depart from Virgo, the retrograde sign.

depart from Virgo, the retrograde sign. So it means that this is really an

So it means that this is really an extended period that goes from like late

extended period that goes from like late September all and early October of 2026

September all and early October of 2026 all the way until the middle of 2027

all the way until the middle of 2027 that we're starting to build up to as

that we're starting to build up to as 2026 ends. And in that way, it's kind of

2026 ends. And in that way, it's kind of going to leave us on this huge

going to leave us on this huge cliffhanger with that Mars retrograde

cliffhanger with that Mars retrograde just getting going at the end of 2026.

just getting going at the end of 2026. >> Yeah, we'll be we'll be within one week

>> Yeah, we'll be we'll be within one week of the station on the on New Year's Eve

of the station on the on New Year's Eve of 2026 when you can really start

of 2026 when you can really start feeling the ground tremble in

feeling the ground tremble in anticipation. So, yeah. Hope you like

anticipation. So, yeah. Hope you like Mars and Leo. Hope you like Mars and

Mars and Leo. Hope you like Mars and Virgo. There's like fiveish months of

Virgo. There's like fiveish months of each on the way. And it's I really hope

each on the way. And it's I really hope you like Mars and Leo because half of

you like Mars and Leo because half of our last Mars retrograde um gave us I

our last Mars retrograde um gave us I think four no five months of Mars and

think four no five months of Mars and Leo. So we've been getting a lot more

Leo. So we've been getting a lot more Mars and Leo than any other flavor for

Mars and Leo than any other flavor for the last while. And uh yeah, so just um

the last while. And uh yeah, so just um think about what Mars challenges are

think about what Mars challenges are like in those parts of your chart

like in those parts of your chart because you're not going to be able to

because you're not going to be able to sleep through it, right? It's not like,

sleep through it, right? It's not like, well, it's an annoying month, but u then

well, it's an annoying month, but u then it'll be over. It's there's uh there's

it'll be over. It's there's uh there's there's no um there's no ignoring Mars

there's no um there's no ignoring Mars during the retrogrades and the

during the retrogrades and the especially the extended wings of the

especially the extended wings of the retrograde.

retrograde. Um and it's worth noting that the Leo

Um and it's worth noting that the Leo part, as we said earlier, is um part of

part, as we said earlier, is um part of the Jupiter and Leo story and part of

the Jupiter and Leo story and part of the eclipses are now in Leo story. And

the eclipses are now in Leo story. And so we have this um co we have this uh uh

so we have this um co we have this uh uh intersection of what Mars is doing on

intersection of what Mars is doing on and off for 10 months as well as what

and off for 10 months as well as what the south node or yeah this the south

the south node or yeah this the south node's doing for a year and a half as

node's doing for a year and a half as well as what Jupiter is doing for a year

well as what Jupiter is doing for a year all in Leo and in particular u and most

all in Leo and in particular u and most particularly in the uh the third decan

particularly in the uh the third decan or the last portion of Leo and so

or the last portion of Leo and so planets in

planets in planet in the end of Leo in particular

planet in the end of Leo in particular are going to get an awful lot of

are going to get an awful lot of attention and they're pretty different

attention and they're pretty different influences, right? The the eclipse

influences, right? The the eclipse energy and the Jupiter and the Mars. Um

energy and the Jupiter and the Mars. Um it's not they don't all sing the same

it's not they don't all sing the same song, but they are going to do a what's

song, but they are going to do a what's a the three-person version of a duet, a

a the three-person version of a duet, a truette triette.

truette triette. I am not sure but yeah you say that the

I am not sure but yeah you say that the three person song well and that's the

three person song well and that's the problem is like Jup when Jupiter goes

problem is like Jup when Jupiter goes into Leo it's it's singing a much more

into Leo it's it's singing a much more growth and expansionoriented and and

growth and expansionoriented and and affirming type song in Leo and we get

affirming type song in Leo and we get that energy and then we get the eclipse

that energy and then we get the eclipse in August in Leo which is like adding

in August in Leo which is like adding some weight to it of this is a

some weight to it of this is a monumental and pivotal turning point

monumental and pivotal turning point where you're starting some major endings

where you're starting some major endings and major beginnings in the Leo area of

and major beginnings in the Leo area of your life. But then in late September,

your life. But then in late September, Mars joins and it brings this more

Mars joins and it brings this more discordant energy to that area of our

discordant energy to that area of our chart where the feelings of like

chart where the feelings of like severing and separation are going to be

severing and separation are going to be much more prominent as well as this

much more prominent as well as this fearing feeling of like irritation or

fearing feeling of like irritation or like a burning type sensation

like a burning type sensation metaphorically is the other thing that

metaphorically is the other thing that we saw very prominently with Mars

we saw very prominently with Mars retrograde in Leo. uh just in the past

retrograde in Leo. uh just in the past year.

year. >> Yeah. When Mar Yeah. Mars brings uh

>> Yeah. When Mar Yeah. Mars brings uh contest and struggle and dispute, right?

contest and struggle and dispute, right? It's like oh Jupiter says oh I believe

It's like oh Jupiter says oh I believe in my you know you you um you gain

in my you know you you um you gain confidence and then somebody attacks

confidence and then somebody attacks that and then you get in a fight with

that and then you get in a fight with them and you know like the Mars Jupiter

them and you know like the Mars Jupiter together especially in Leo um is very

together especially in Leo um is very confident but in a way that um often

confident but in a way that um often gets people into fights like Jupiter

gets people into fights like Jupiter Mars together are very conf confident

Mars together are very conf confident about coming out on top and about uh

about coming out on top and about uh being able to uh uh to benefit from

being able to uh uh to benefit from victory. whether by whether through

victory. whether by whether through glory or spoils. And then again, the

glory or spoils. And then again, the tale of the dragon is kind of haunting

tale of the dragon is kind of haunting all of that, suggesting in addition to

all of that, suggesting in addition to the retrograde uh of Mars yet to come,

the retrograde uh of Mars yet to come, that there are deeper, more lasting and

that there are deeper, more lasting and potent potentially more upsetting and

potent potentially more upsetting and permanent consequences uh to those

permanent consequences uh to those intersections than there might first

intersections than there might first seem.

seem. >> Yeah, absolutely. And if you know, if

>> Yeah, absolutely. And if you know, if you're in a country that has, I don't

you're in a country that has, I don't know, like a president with their rising

know, like a president with their rising and Mars in that last decade of Leo, um,

and Mars in that last decade of Leo, um, you'd probably want to pay attention to

you'd probably want to pay attention to that.

that. >> Yeah. With actually the top two leaders

>> Yeah. With actually the top two leaders of the country having their risings in

of the country having their risings in that that late part of Leo, so that both

that that late part of Leo, so that both going to get

going to get >> I didn't realize that. Okay.

>> I didn't realize that. Okay. >> Yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah. I mean that's the

>> Yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah. I mean that's the thing is like and you know so much of

thing is like and you know so much of the past year we've also seen how that

the past year we've also seen how that ancient notion of how the leader of the

ancient notion of how the leader of the country their birth chart becomes kind

country their birth chart becomes kind of like the birth chart for the country

of like the birth chart for the country for the period in which they're in power

for the period in which they're in power and so we're thinking of all three of

and so we're thinking of all three of these Leo transits going into the rising

these Leo transits going into the rising sign of the president um with Jupiter

sign of the president um with Jupiter and Leo and the arandizing with the

and Leo and the arandizing with the eclipse in Leo bringing to greater

eclipse in Leo bringing to greater prominence actually just like the

prominence actually just like the >> just like the eclipse in Leo back in um

>> just like the eclipse in Leo back in um 2017 when Trump first became president,

2017 when Trump first became president, but then you bring in the Mars element

but then you bring in the Mars element as well on top of that which brings in a

as well on top of that which brings in a much more militant uh combative sort of

much more militant uh combative sort of warlike energy.

warlike energy. >> Yeah, absolutely. Um it's worth noting

>> Yeah, absolutely. Um it's worth noting that this is the sort of reverse

that this is the sort of reverse companion set of eclipses to the 2017

companion set of eclipses to the 2017 ones that we're entering where we had

ones that we're entering where we had the head um or Rahu in Leo then and now

the head um or Rahu in Leo then and now we have the tail there. So it's dragon

we have the tail there. So it's dragon is facing the same or dragons in the

is facing the same or dragons in the same position but facing the opposite

same position but facing the opposite direction and eclipses um exaggerate and

direction and eclipses um exaggerate and create rises but they also create sudden

create rises but they also create sudden falls and disappearances. They um they

falls and disappearances. They um they are they provide a dramatic roller

are they provide a dramatic roller coaster.

coaster. >> Yeah. I I'm reminded of like in Valins's

>> Yeah. I I'm reminded of like in Valins's in the second century, he talks a lot

in the second century, he talks a lot about Mars and Jupiter representing

about Mars and Jupiter representing military generals and like the heads of

military generals and like the heads of like war and things like that. Um and

like war and things like that. Um and having that combination come into

having that combination come into greater prominence makes me nervous

greater prominence makes me nervous about that of a more um militaristic

about that of a more um militaristic setting of of things.

setting of of things. >> Yeah, absolutely. It's such a like Mars

>> Yeah, absolutely. It's such a like Mars Jupiter is such a military parade

Jupiter is such a military parade um glorious commander on the horse sort

um glorious commander on the horse sort of uh what was the word you used

of uh what was the word you used earlier? A grandisement um of military

earlier? A grandisement um of military might. Oh, and something about Jup about

might. Oh, and something about Jup about Leo and even even sweet Jupiter and Leo

Leo and even even sweet Jupiter and Leo um is that same self-affirmation

um is that same self-affirmation um also very easily becomes um uh rahrh

um also very easily becomes um uh rahrh nationalism

nationalism >> um that like like just as one just as it

>> um that like like just as one just as it can be like oh I affirm myself it's a a

can be like oh I affirm myself it's a a nations affirming themselves you get a a

nations affirming themselves you get a a strengthening sometimes um uh an

strengthening sometimes um uh an expansion or strengthening, sometimes

expansion or strengthening, sometimes even a cancerous expansion um of

even a cancerous expansion um of national identity. Um it's it's uh it

national identity. Um it's it's uh it doesn't make nations um less likely to

doesn't make nations um less likely to go to war, to take offense,

go to war, to take offense, especially with the combination of Mars,

especially with the combination of Mars, but even even just Jupiter.

but even even just Jupiter. >> And it's a weird combination because

>> And it's a weird combination because Jupiter, as we talked about, has this

Jupiter, as we talked about, has this protective function, but then Mars has

protective function, but then Mars has the opposite where it has this more

the opposite where it has this more danger function that it brings into

danger function that it brings into things. And that's part of the combat um

things. And that's part of the combat um contrasting energy that we're going to

contrasting energy that we're going to be seeing between those two placements

be seeing between those two placements hanging out in Leo roughly at the same

hanging out in Leo roughly at the same time from late 2026 through the first

time from late 2026 through the first half of 2027.

half of 2027. >> Mhm.

>> Mhm. >> I'm going to not say more because we're

>> I'm going to not say more because we're going to do um a a walk through.

going to do um a a walk through. >> Okay. All right. Let me give just some

>> Okay. All right. Let me give just some final keywords because I I was trying to

final keywords because I I was trying to go back and summarize

go back and summarize >> general principles that I learned from

>> general principles that I learned from the Mars retrograde earlier this year

the Mars retrograde earlier this year that we did at least like three episodes

that we did at least like three episodes about and the severing function was

about and the severing function was huge. the act of cutting ties in

huge. the act of cutting ties in people's personal lives in whatever area

people's personal lives in whatever area Mars was going retrograde, whatever

Mars was going retrograde, whatever house. This included like ending

house. This included like ending contracts, removing people or things

contracts, removing people or things from your life and the finality of

from your life and the finality of making a clean break after a period of

making a clean break after a period of tension. Um, so sometimes that's like a

tension. Um, so sometimes that's like a singular event, but often times even a

singular event, but often times even a separation from somebody is a sequence

separation from somebody is a sequence of events and that's what this 9-month

of events and that's what this 9-month Mars retrograde period will represent

Mars retrograde period will represent for some people. Um, some of the

for some people. Um, some of the listeners in like the live recap

listeners in like the live recap episodes where I interviewed people

episodes where I interviewed people talked about quitting jobs, um, firing

talked about quitting jobs, um, firing employees, and I think at least one or

employees, and I think at least one or two instances, ending long-term

two instances, ending long-term friendships or relationships during the

friendships or relationships during the Mars retrograde. Uh, so I wanted to

Mars retrograde. Uh, so I wanted to mention some of those things cuz it's

mention some of those things cuz it's weird how this Mars retrograde kind of

weird how this Mars retrograde kind of gets kicked off by the Venus retrograde

gets kicked off by the Venus retrograde that happens first just as Mars

that happens first just as Mars retrograde is building up. So there's um

retrograde is building up. So there's um some of the the tensions that the Venus

some of the the tensions that the Venus retrograde starts especially in October

retrograde starts especially in October when it stations retrograde in the

when it stations retrograde in the difficult square with Mars and Pluto um

difficult square with Mars and Pluto um will kick off a series of events that

will kick off a series of events that Mars will then take the baton and carry

Mars will then take the baton and carry forward.

forward. >> Indeed.

>> Indeed. And I would just add to that um what you

And I would just add to that um what you also see during Mars retrogrades that um

also see during Mars retrogrades that um Mars work um uh like Mars pro projects

Mars work um uh like Mars pro projects that are governed by Mars in your life,

that are governed by Mars in your life, houses whose

houses whose um affairs are uh guided by Mars. Um, a

um affairs are uh guided by Mars. Um, a lot of times in addition to the social

lot of times in addition to the social frictions and potential tensions and

frictions and potential tensions and separations, you also just see the the

separations, you also just see the the general retrograde thing of things

general retrograde thing of things taking much longer to get going um and

taking much longer to get going um and to cross the finish line than usual. Um,

to cross the finish line than usual. Um, you have the, you know, you have the

you have the, you know, you have the same um, got to do it three times from a

same um, got to do it three times from a Mercury retrograde, but spread out um,

Mercury retrograde, but spread out um, over months and months and months. And

over months and months and months. And so the um often there there things are

so the um often there there things are frustratingly slow in those areas. There

frustratingly slow in those areas. There are problems that emerge that take a

are problems that emerge that take a long time to get resolved.

long time to get resolved. >> Yeah, absolutely. And there can be be

>> Yeah, absolutely. And there can be be this like internal the slowness itself

this like internal the slowness itself can have this internal heat where um it

can have this internal heat where um it manifests as this like frustration with

manifests as this like frustration with how slow things are going. this feeling

how slow things are going. this feeling of sometimes like simmering resentment

of sometimes like simmering resentment over it. Um or even like an inflammation

over it. Um or even like an inflammation either metaphorically or in some

either metaphorically or in some instances very literally like literal in

instances very literally like literal in inflammations.

inflammations. >> Yeah, I definitely see people struggling

>> Yeah, I definitely see people struggling with inflammatory conditions getting

with inflammatory conditions getting aroused by Mars retrogrades that are

aroused by Mars retrogrades that are hitting their stuff. Um yeah. um the and

hitting their stuff. Um yeah. um the and what you also have

what you also have um the the sort of happy medium of

um the the sort of happy medium of marshall effort is harder to find. You

marshall effort is harder to find. You see a lot of people either uh unable to

see a lot of people either uh unable to summon motivation like down in the heart

summon motivation like down in the heart of the retrograde or flying at things

of the retrograde or flying at things with a sort of unsustainable berserker

with a sort of unsustainable berserker rage sort of pacing. Um neither of which

rage sort of pacing. Um neither of which is particularly fruitful,

is particularly fruitful, >> right? Yeah, absolutely. Um, we used the

>> right? Yeah, absolutely. Um, we used the analogy that turned out to be really

analogy that turned out to be really good with the spicy pepper analogy that

good with the spicy pepper analogy that like you know uh Mars retrograde is like

like you know uh Mars retrograde is like eating a spicy like the hottest pepper

eating a spicy like the hottest pepper like a ghost pepper where you eat it and

like a ghost pepper where you eat it and you think it's done but it just like

you think it's done but it just like stays in your mouth for the this

stays in your mouth for the this extended period of time and there's

extended period of time and there's little that you can do but just to wait

little that you can do but just to wait it out and uh b your time until that

it out and uh b your time until that that period of heat and inflammation is

that period of heat and inflammation is over.

over. But let's say those are all challenging

But let's say those are all challenging things. So, let me just try to give a

things. So, let me just try to give a positive spin. There were a lot of

positive spin. There were a lot of instances I saw of people standing up

instances I saw of people standing up for themselves and doing the thing that

for themselves and doing the thing that was hard, but that it was the right

was hard, but that it was the right thing to do for them. And sometimes that

thing to do for them. And sometimes that process of like ending a relationship is

process of like ending a relationship is realizing that let's say your boundaries

realizing that let's say your boundaries are being pushed or realizing you're in

are being pushed or realizing you're in a situation that doesn't accord with

a situation that doesn't accord with where you want to be and who you are in

where you want to be and who you are in life and deciding to set out on your own

life and deciding to set out on your own even if it means having to cut something

even if it means having to cut something out of your life. And sometimes that can

out of your life. And sometimes that can be challenging or unpleasant. But

be challenging or unpleasant. But sometimes it can be necessary. And

sometimes it can be necessary. And sometimes when you get to the other end

sometimes when you get to the other end of that, you can find your life in a

of that, you can find your life in a better shape than it was when you went

better shape than it was when you went into it because you made the hard

into it because you made the hard decision to do what was right for you.

decision to do what was right for you. >> Yeah. Or you cut out the shitty toxic

>> Yeah. Or you cut out the shitty toxic person. Right. Now they're not here

person. Right. Now they're not here anymore. Um Yeah. Another thing that I

anymore. Um Yeah. Another thing that I see consistently that's fruitful is the

see consistently that's fruitful is the sort of getting a sense of what the

sort of getting a sense of what the challenges in your life, the Marshall

challenges in your life, the Marshall challenges actually are during this

challenges actually are during this period. Not what were they are not not

period. Not what were they are not not what they were but what they are now or

what they were but what they are now or what they are becoming and then

what they are becoming and then realizing that you need to

realizing that you need to ch like one change your expectations and

ch like one change your expectations and think about how to rise in order to meet

think about how to rise in order to meet those challenges that are here now or

those challenges that are here now or the demands uh the performance demands

the demands uh the performance demands that are there for this part of your

that are there for this part of your life. And a lot of times that

life. And a lot of times that necessitates like uh a difference in

necessitates like uh a difference in training and how are you cultivating

training and how are you cultivating yourself to be capable of meeting um the

yourself to be capable of meeting um the demands present. This was very clear to

demands present. This was very clear to me last time because the last Mars

me last time because the last Mars retrograde went over my ascendant three

retrograde went over my ascendant three times and that was the first year of

times and that was the first year of being a parent for me,

being a parent for me, >> right? So it was like okay like

>> right? So it was like okay like different totally new set of challenges.

different totally new set of challenges. Um and yeah and needing to yeah like

Um and yeah and needing to yeah like needing to prepare for those differently

needing to prepare for those differently as well as coming to understand what

as well as coming to understand what they were and by the end of it like um

they were and by the end of it like um pretty good pretty good at parenting. um

pretty good pretty good at parenting. um and at least very oriented towards being

and at least very oriented towards being good at parenting rather than like what

good at parenting rather than like what the is happening and um yeah um and

the is happening and um yeah um and bemoning um how the person who came into

bemoning um how the person who came into being a parent um was unprepared to

being a parent um was unprepared to being a person that knows how to prepare

being a person that knows how to prepare as well as being aware of what the

as well as being aware of what the challenges are like you know rising

challenges are like you know rising because there's rising to meet challenge

because there's rising to meet challenge which is like just sort of motivation

which is like just sort of motivation but there's you know Mars

but there's you know Mars Most of Mars's arenas, most of the Mars

Most of Mars's arenas, most of the Mars parts of life, uh, involve preparation

parts of life, uh, involve preparation and training and thinking and

and training and thinking and strategizing about how you're going to

strategizing about how you're going to deal with or overcome, uh, or do well at

deal with or overcome, uh, or do well at the thing.

the thing. >> And it takes a it takes a long time to

>> And it takes a it takes a long time to kind of reconfigure all that,

kind of reconfigure all that, >> right? I like that. Yeah, there's this

>> right? I like that. Yeah, there's this period of reconfiguring after the

period of reconfiguring after the initial um setback basically is is a

initial um setback basically is is a very common Mars retrograde theme. Um

very common Mars retrograde theme. Um other themes we found in history with

other themes we found in history with Mars retrogrades I'll just list off

Mars retrogrades I'll just list off quickly are things like military and t

quickly are things like military and t tactical fiascos where there were like

tactical fiascos where there were like invasions and aggressive actions that

invasions and aggressive actions that were poorly planned and executed at the

were poorly planned and executed at the wrong time and the result was like an

wrong time and the result was like an embarrassing retreat. Um the Bay of Pigs

embarrassing retreat. Um the Bay of Pigs in 1961 was one of the examples of that

in 1961 was one of the examples of that where there's like the failure of an

where there's like the failure of an initial special operation that gets

initial special operation that gets bogged down. Um there can be taking the

bogged down. Um there can be taking the axe to a structure was something we saw

axe to a structure was something we saw majorly during the Mars retrograde in

majorly during the Mars retrograde in cancer earlier this year which is like

cancer earlier this year which is like the indiscriminate cutting or firing or

the indiscriminate cutting or firing or dismantling of agencies or structures or

dismantling of agencies or structures or institutions or systems where you see

institutions or systems where you see somebody just like taking a hatchet to

somebody just like taking a hatchet to established orders and

established orders and >> right the the willy-nilly chainsaw

>> right the the willy-nilly chainsaw >> the chainsaw we saw that image of like

>> the chainsaw we saw that image of like you know Musk holding a chainsaw earlier

you know Musk holding a chainsaw earlier this year and that was like the enduring

this year and that was like the enduring image of Mars retrograde cancer to me

image of Mars retrograde cancer to me earlier this year because also part of

earlier this year because also part of what in that instance it was taking the

what in that instance it was taking the chainsaw to which like social systems um

chainsaw to which like social systems um so this is going to be a different

so this is going to be a different context in Virgo and Leo but I think

context in Virgo and Leo but I think we'll see prominent like chainsaw

we'll see prominent like chainsaw cutting knife hatchet symbolism coming

cutting knife hatchet symbolism coming up uh during this retrograde as well

up uh during this retrograde as well >> um there's also like civil unrest and

>> um there's also like civil unrest and radicalization sometimes anger were

radicalization sometimes anger were boiling over in the streets or events

boiling over in the streets or events that radicalized specific groups of

that radicalized specific groups of people. Um we saw some stuff like the

people. Um we saw some stuff like the Waco siege in 93 during that retrograde,

Waco siege in 93 during that retrograde, the Tulsa race massacre in 1921,

the Tulsa race massacre in 1921, um the Watts riots in 1965.

um the Watts riots in 1965. >> Yeah. The anger boiling over and then

>> Yeah. The anger boiling over and then with Mars retrograde, like getting

with Mars retrograde, like getting out of control, like Mars stuff getting

out of control, like Mars stuff getting out of control. um which is always a

out of control. um which is always a danger with Mars stuff, but there's

danger with Mars stuff, but there's there's very much a a boiling over

there's very much a a boiling over quality um in the heart of the

quality um in the heart of the retrograde cuz it's actually during the

retrograde cuz it's actually during the heart of the retrograde that Mars is the

heart of the retrograde that Mars is the closest to the Earth and super bright

closest to the Earth and super bright and visible all night long. It's like

and visible all night long. It's like the full moon for Mars,

the full moon for Mars, >> right? Um, that actually brings up I

>> right? Um, that actually brings up I wanted to share a slide because one of

wanted to share a slide because one of the things I got really into in the past

the things I got really into in the past couple of years was looking at long-term

couple of years was looking at long-term planetary repetitions. And the the most

planetary repetitions. And the the most powerful one I found for Mars is the

powerful one I found for Mars is the 79-year cycle where the same Mars

79-year cycle where the same Mars retrograde between Virgo and Leo will

retrograde between Virgo and Leo will repeat during the same part of the year

repeat during the same part of the year every 79 years. It's almost exact. It's

every 79 years. It's almost exact. It's it's really brilliant. So the

it's really brilliant. So the repetitions that this Mars retrograde

repetitions that this Mars retrograde are going to be connected to and will

are going to be connected to and will bring up some similar themes to are uh

bring up some similar themes to are uh 194 late 1947 through early 1948,

194 late 1947 through early 1948, late 1868 through 1869 and late 1789

late 1868 through 1869 and late 1789 through 1790.

through 1790. And the that last one was the most

And the that last one was the most important or and interesting one for me

important or and interesting one for me in a number of ways because of um some

in a number of ways because of um some of the things that were going on uh back

of the things that were going on uh back in that time frame around like the the

in that time frame around like the the Civil War sort of like time frame or not

Civil War sort of like time frame or not Civil War sort of like American

Civil War sort of like American Revolutionary time frame.

Revolutionary time frame. >> Yeah, that's really interesting. Um I

>> Yeah, that's really interesting. Um I literally just wrote those numbers down

literally just wrote those numbers down so that I can zoom in on them later.

so that I can zoom in on them later. >> Yeah. Um, I'm just trying to find my

>> Yeah. Um, I'm just trying to find my notes really quickly. Um, there there's

notes really quickly. Um, there there's other repetitions as well of like a

other repetitions as well of like a 47year

47year Mars retrograde um

Mars retrograde um thing that was really important as well,

thing that was really important as well, but it was it was a lot of challenging

but it was it was a lot of challenging stuff. So, maybe I'll save some of that

stuff. So, maybe I'll save some of that for for later when we get to that in the

for for later when we get to that in the full breakdown.

full breakdown. >> Yeah, we'll have Yeah. And we're we're

>> Yeah, we'll have Yeah. And we're we're going to have a lot of months of

going to have a lot of months of Mars is in the shadow. Mars is deeper in

Mars is in the shadow. Mars is deeper in the shadow. Mars is really deep in the

the shadow. Mars is really deep in the shadow. We'll we'll be narrating it step

shadow. We'll we'll be narrating it step by step next year.

by step next year. Yeah. Um, one of them I did want to

Yeah. Um, one of them I did want to mention though is just the um,

mention though is just the um, early in the Revolutionary War basically

early in the Revolutionary War basically like Lexington and Concord happened

like Lexington and Concord happened around one of these from Mars to Leo rep

around one of these from Mars to Leo rep retrogrades and also the leadup to

retrogrades and also the leadup to Lexington and Concord which was um,

Lexington and Concord which was um, there were a bunch of false starts

there were a bunch of false starts basically to the Revolutionary War where

basically to the Revolutionary War where the tensions were boiling and they were

the tensions were boiling and they were getting to that point but then it wasn't

getting to that point but then it wasn't until after Mars stationed direct and

until after Mars stationed direct and started moving through Leo and Virgo

started moving through Leo and Virgo then it kicked off and like Lexington

then it kicked off and like Lexington and Concord happened but there were like

and Concord happened but there were like precursor events that led into it and

precursor events that led into it and that's one of the important parallels I

that's one of the important parallels I think today.

think today. >> Mhm. Yeah, that makes sense.

>> Mhm. Yeah, that makes sense. >> Yeah. All right, my friend. Well, that's

>> Yeah. All right, my friend. Well, that's our broad overview of 2026. Um why don't

our broad overview of 2026. Um why don't we take a little break and then we'll

we take a little break and then we'll come right back to do the monthly

come right back to do the monthly breakdown.

breakdown. >> Okay. I also want to give a shout out to

>> Okay. I also want to give a shout out to our sponsor for this episode, which is

our sponsor for this episode, which is the Channy app. One of the main reasons

the Channy app. One of the main reasons I wanted to highlight the Chenny app

I wanted to highlight the Chenny app this year is that we're seeing a huge

this year is that we're seeing a huge wave of new astrology apps that are

wave of new astrology apps that are relying entirely on AI chat bots and

relying entirely on AI chat bots and chat GBT to generate their

chat GBT to generate their interpretations. And the Chenny app is

interpretations. And the Chenny app is different because it's one of the only

different because it's one of the only major apps that uses zero AI. As

major apps that uses zero AI. As astrologers, we know that reading a

astrologers, we know that reading a chart requires a level of nuance,

chart requires a level of nuance, context, and intuition that you really

context, and intuition that you really just cannot get from an algorithm. So,

just cannot get from an algorithm. So, when you use the Chenny app, you're

when you use the Chenny app, you're getting personalized information that's

getting personalized information that's actually written by a real trained human

actually written by a real trained human astrologer.

astrologer. So, the app is packed with features like

So, the app is packed with features like daily horoscopes, moon phase updates,

daily horoscopes, moon phase updates, and weekly rituals. Uh, but since we're

and weekly rituals. Uh, but since we're focusing on the future today, I

focusing on the future today, I specifically wanted to recommend

specifically wanted to recommend checking out their transits feature,

checking out their transits feature, which gives you a hyperpersonalized look

which gives you a hyperpersonalized look at how the planets are interacting with

at how the planets are interacting with your unique birth chart every day. They

your unique birth chart every day. They also have a full 2026 astro reading

also have a full 2026 astro reading available now, which breaks down the

available now, which breaks down the main themes of the year for your monthby

main themes of the year for your monthby month along with journal prompts and

month along with journal prompts and guided meditations to help you navigate

guided meditations to help you navigate it. The Channy app is free to download

it. The Channy app is free to download on the Apple App Store and Google Play.

on the Apple App Store and Google Play. So if you want to make if you want to

So if you want to make if you want to make sure your daily astrology is coming

make sure your daily astrology is coming from a human source, definitely check

from a human source, definitely check check them out. All right. So yeah, it's

check them out. All right. So yeah, it's crazy in the past few years since like

crazy in the past few years since like chatbt and everything came out like like

chatbt and everything came out like like how many people are, you know, turning

how many people are, you know, turning to that to get delineations of their

to that to get delineations of their birth charter transits, but how bad it

birth charter transits, but how bad it still is and like how much it still

still is and like how much it still messes up and hallucinates or just says

messes up and hallucinates or just says stuff that isn't true or isn't right.

stuff that isn't true or isn't right. And it's one of the real dangers that

And it's one of the real dangers that people don't realize, I think, that if

people don't realize, I think, that if they're just now getting into the field.

they're just now getting into the field. >> Yeah. And when it does get things right,

>> Yeah. And when it does get things right, it's because um real human astrologers

it's because um real human astrologers got things right and wrote it down and

got things right and wrote it down and the AI scraped that content without

the AI scraped that content without attribution or payment and is

attribution or payment and is regurgitating it. And yeah, even if it

regurgitating it. And yeah, even if it was great, it would still be stolen. But

was great, it would still be stolen. But a lot the AI the AI astrology content

a lot the AI the AI astrology content both sucks and is stolen. And so as a

both sucks and is stolen. And so as a real trained human astrologer and it's

real trained human astrologer and it's part of the human resistance um I

part of the human resistance um I support uh the chatty app's decision to

support uh the chatty app's decision to go only with um real trained human

go only with um real trained human astrologers and not um thieving machines

astrologers and not um thieving machines that are bad at astrology.

that are bad at astrology. >> Right. Yeah. I really like that Channy

>> Right. Yeah. I really like that Channy spent the time necessary to write those

spent the time necessary to write those delineations and to um think about it

delineations and to um think about it from a real practicing astrologer

from a real practicing astrologer standpoint like what a transit means

standpoint like what a transit means both in a sometimes literal

both in a sometimes literal interpretations but also psychological

interpretations but also psychological interpretations. And I have the Channy

interpretations. And I have the Channy app on my phone because one of the

app on my phone because one of the things I love is it just tells you every

things I love is it just tells you every time a transit is going exact or when

time a transit is going exact or when there's an astrological alignment going

there's an astrological alignment going exact it gives you a push notification.

exact it gives you a push notification. So, it's one of the things that kind of

So, it's one of the things that kind of keeps me up to date on like what's

keeps me up to date on like what's happening in the moment. Especially

happening in the moment. Especially sometimes if I forget that a transit's

sometimes if I forget that a transit's going exact a certain day and like some

going exact a certain day and like some event starts happening in my life like

event starts happening in my life like all of a sudden I get a notification

all of a sudden I get a notification that the transit just went exact in the

that the transit just went exact in the sky and then I'm like, "Oh, it was that.

sky and then I'm like, "Oh, it was that. That makes sense."

That makes sense." >> Yeah, that's really helpful. Um I think

>> Yeah, that's really helpful. Um I think I have that app installed in my brain.

I have that app installed in my brain. um because I get my I get push

um because I get my I get push notifications in my brain when these

notifications in my brain when these things happen. But uh occasionally I too

things happen. But uh occasionally I too forget.

forget. >> Um

>> Um >> well know that it's really helpful and

>> well know that it's really helpful and especially as you're like getting to

especially as you're like getting to know what the configurations mean

know what the configurations mean against the background of your chart

against the background of your chart like having it front and center so you

like having it front and center so you so you can you can have that aha moment

so you can you can have that aha moment like why was I feeling cranky all today?

like why was I feeling cranky all today? Oh yeah, Mars is on my moon by uh 60th

Oh yeah, Mars is on my moon by uh 60th of a degree. That makes sense.

of a degree. That makes sense. >> Yeah, exactly. Um so yeah, everyone

>> Yeah, exactly. Um so yeah, everyone should check out the Channy app. It's

should check out the Channy app. It's free to download on the Apple App Store

free to download on the Apple App Store or on Google Play and I'll put a link to

or on Google Play and I'll put a link to Channy's website in the description

Channy's website in the description below this video as well as on the

below this video as well as on the podcast website entry for this this

podcast website entry for this this episode. But definitely support them and

episode. But definitely support them and support uh yeah, human astrologers

support uh yeah, human astrologers giving delineations to humans.

giving delineations to humans. All right, my friend. Uh, it's time to

All right, my friend. Uh, it's time to get into the monthly breakdown. We did

get into the monthly breakdown. We did our big overview of the major transits

our big overview of the major transits for the year. And those were somewhat

for the year. And those were somewhat arranged in a sequence, but um, one of

arranged in a sequence, but um, one of the things that you always feel is

the things that you always feel is important and emphasized is you feel

important and emphasized is you feel like we need to like actually look at

like we need to like actually look at each month and talk about things and do

each month and talk about things and do a little bit more zoomed in view of a

a little bit more zoomed in view of a month-by-month breakdown, right?

month-by-month breakdown, right? >> Yeah. I think it's really nice to tour

>> Yeah. I think it's really nice to tour the year to just do a do a walk through

the year to just do a do a walk through um get a uh get a sense of

um get a uh get a sense of um like the different flavor of each

um like the different flavor of each month and how it feels um and how it

month and how it feels um and how it becomes the next thing.

becomes the next thing. >> Absolutely. Absolutely. because there is

>> Absolutely. Absolutely. because there is space between some of these big things

space between some of these big things and those spaces are filled unequally

and those spaces are filled unequally and they're also um because of the

and they're also um because of the nature of history. It's usually the nice

nature of history. It's usually the nice moments that get left out of the

moments that get left out of the overviews because nice moments um don't

overviews because nice moments um don't get written down in the history books,

get written down in the history books, right? It's the um the catastrophic, the

right? It's the um the catastrophic, the confusing

confusing um and etc, etc. So yeah, think a little

um and etc, etc. So yeah, think a little little a jaunty stroll is called for.

little a jaunty stroll is called for. >> I like that. That sounds good. All

>> I like that. That sounds good. All right,

right, >> stroll we shall

>> stroll we shall >> stroll we shall

>> stroll we shall >> arm in arm.

>> arm in arm. >> Get an an essence of of the month. Um,

>> Get an an essence of of the month. Um, all right. So, let me share the

all right. So, let me share the planetary alignments calendar for

planetary alignments calendar for January, which is actually from our wall

January, which is actually from our wall calendar, which is now available on the

calendar, which is now available on the podcast website at the

podcast website at the astrologyodcast.com/2026

astrologyodcast.com/2026 posters, uh, where you can get a version

posters, uh, where you can get a version of this that shows the entire year. But

of this that shows the entire year. But this shows the major alignments

this shows the major alignments happening this month in January of 2026.

happening this month in January of 2026. And some of the major highlights

And some of the major highlights happening this month are we've got this

happening this month are we've got this triple conjunction of the sun, Venus,

triple conjunction of the sun, Venus, and Mars January 5th through the 9th.

and Mars January 5th through the 9th. Mars Jupiter opposition January 10th.

Mars Jupiter opposition January 10th. Mercury Mars conjunction January 18th.

Mercury Mars conjunction January 18th. Neptune entering Aries on the 26th. Mars

Neptune entering Aries on the 26th. Mars Pluto conjunction in Aquarius on January

Pluto conjunction in Aquarius on January 27th. And finally, a nice sweet little

27th. And finally, a nice sweet little Venus Mercury conjunction on January

Venus Mercury conjunction on January 29th.

29th. >> Yeah. And to me, the overwhelming theme

>> Yeah. And to me, the overwhelming theme of the month is that Mars and Venus are

of the month is that Mars and Venus are invisible to the naked eye. They're with

invisible to the naked eye. They're with the sun. Um, and and Mercury joins them

the sun. Um, and and Mercury joins them for the the second half of the month.

for the the second half of the month. But we have uh the kazmi or the perfect

But we have uh the kazmi or the perfect conjunction of both the sun and Venus

conjunction of both the sun and Venus and the sun and Mars and a little later

and the sun and Mars and a little later sun and Mercury um all in a very close

sun and Mercury um all in a very close time frame. And so that those

time frame. And so that those conjunctions end the sun, Mercury or

conjunctions end the sun, Mercury or excuse me, end the cycle uh end and

excuse me, end the cycle uh end and begin a cycle for both Venus and Mars.

begin a cycle for both Venus and Mars. And so they both begin again in this

And so they both begin again in this place in Capricorn. Um and so there's a

place in Capricorn. Um and so there's a lot of there's a lot of quiet but

lot of there's a lot of quiet but consequential

consequential deliberation happening because we're

deliberation happening because we're ending cycles and beginning them and we

ending cycles and beginning them and we always do that with planets conjoined

always do that with planets conjoined the sun which means we can't see them,

the sun which means we can't see them, right? Right? And so it's stuff behind

right? Right? And so it's stuff behind closed doors, behind, you know, the the

closed doors, behind, you know, the the veil of our eyes where important things

veil of our eyes where important things are being sorted out and new cycles are

are being sorted out and new cycles are being begun, but you can't necessarily

being begun, but you can't necessarily see that much on the surface. And

see that much on the surface. And um Mars and Venus um both stay with the

um Mars and Venus um both stay with the sun and stay invisible for all of

sun and stay invisible for all of January. And shortly about uh 2 weeks

January. And shortly about uh 2 weeks after uh excuse me after their

after uh excuse me after their conjunction the Mars Venus Sun

conjunction the Mars Venus Sun conjunctions in Capricorn um those three

conjunctions in Capricorn um those three as well as Mercury all conjoin Pluto uh

as well as Mercury all conjoin Pluto uh over about a week. we get Sun, Mercury,

over about a week. we get Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars conjoining Pluto um from

Venus, and Mars conjoining Pluto um from I believe the 19th uh until the 27th.

I believe the 19th uh until the 27th. And so that's a lot of planets, all

And so that's a lot of planets, all invisible, mind you, right? We're not

invisible, mind you, right? We're not going to see anything but the sun, but

going to see anything but the sun, but that's four planets conjoining Pluto

that's four planets conjoining Pluto within a week. And it's within that same

within a week. And it's within that same week that Neptune sneaks back into

week that Neptune sneaks back into Aquarius or excuse me, Neptune sneaks

Aquarius or excuse me, Neptune sneaks back into Aries. So all of this like so

back into Aries. So all of this like so much so much happening here but again

much so much happening here but again all all hidden uh all hidden behind the

all all hidden uh all hidden behind the sun and so my like one sentence phrase

sun and so my like one sentence phrase for January is like quiet but very

for January is like quiet but very consequential.

consequential. >> Yeah, there's a lot happening behind the

>> Yeah, there's a lot happening behind the scenes. Um yeah, it's hard. doing

scenes. Um yeah, it's hard. doing elections this month was hard because

elections this month was hard because it's sandwiched between like this um

it's sandwiched between like this um peace shattering Mars Jupiter opposition

peace shattering Mars Jupiter opposition early in the month and then this

early in the month and then this somewhat violent Mars Pluto conjunction

somewhat violent Mars Pluto conjunction late in the month in Aquarius uh with

late in the month in Aquarius uh with this really provocative Sun Venus Mars

this really provocative Sun Venus Mars conjunction in Capricorn happening

conjunction in Capricorn happening around the middle and a really verbally

around the middle and a really verbally combative Mercury Mars conjunction

combative Mercury Mars conjunction happening around the same time. So, uh

happening around the same time. So, uh the Venus Mars conjunction reminds me of

the Venus Mars conjunction reminds me of So much of we've seen over the past year

So much of we've seen over the past year or two is things coming up involving

or two is things coming up involving like gender but also sex and sexuality

like gender but also sex and sexuality and sometimes um like negative things

and sometimes um like negative things coming up with sex and sexuality. Like

coming up with sex and sexuality. Like for example, the Epstein Epstein it

for example, the Epstein Epstein it turned out, had like a Venus Mars

turned out, had like a Venus Mars conjunction in his birth chart and that

conjunction in his birth chart and that ended up being relevant when like the

ended up being relevant when like the Pisces eclipse happened I think last

Pisces eclipse happened I think last September or something like that and

September or something like that and then a big dump of those files came out

then a big dump of those files came out uh sort of showing some of the things

uh sort of showing some of the things that were happening there.

that were happening there. >> Yeah. And I wonder how much that happens

>> Yeah. And I wonder how much that happens in these assemblies, these like behind

in these assemblies, these like behind closed doors, closed door assemblies in

closed doors, closed door assemblies in January, we find out about later cuz the

January, we find out about later cuz the these are really consequential and kind

these are really consequential and kind of dramatic conjunctions. Another thing

of dramatic conjunctions. Another thing that I wonder about with Mars and Venus

that I wonder about with Mars and Venus being conjoined is that it was um under

being conjoined is that it was um under a Mars Venus conjunction in Capricorn

a Mars Venus conjunction in Capricorn that uh Russia invaded Ukraine um in

that uh Russia invaded Ukraine um in 2022. And so this is the same two

2022. And so this is the same two planets under different circumstances

planets under different circumstances but reunited in almost exactly the same

but reunited in almost exactly the same part of the same sign. And I don't know

part of the same sign. And I don't know what that means, but it it seems like

what that means, but it it seems like there should be some meaningful

there should be some meaningful development there. Again, one we might

development there. Again, one we might not see uh uh uh see in January, but

not see uh uh uh see in January, but find out later um was initiated then or

find out later um was initiated then or decided then.

decided then. >> Yeah, it would make sense for there to

>> Yeah, it would make sense for there to be a significant turning point with the

be a significant turning point with the Ukraine Russia war, especially because

Ukraine Russia war, especially because the Saturn Neptune conjunction going

the Saturn Neptune conjunction going exact in January and February. Those

exact in January and February. Those Saturn Neptune conjunctions are always

Saturn Neptune conjunctions are always super important in both Russian history

super important in both Russian history as well as Ukrainian history. Uh, and

as well as Ukrainian history. Uh, and one of the tricky things that that Lisa

one of the tricky things that that Lisa pointed out to me recently was that um

pointed out to me recently was that um Pluto is going to conjoin Zalinsk's son

Pluto is going to conjoin Zalinsk's son early in the year, which is kind of a

early in the year, which is kind of a challenging transit to be having. And

challenging transit to be having. And then of course we mentioned earlier that

then of course we mentioned earlier that people born in 1953 1954 under that

people born in 1953 1954 under that Saturn Neptune conjunction or having an

Saturn Neptune conjunction or having an important recurrence transit when this

important recurrence transit when this conjunction goes exact between Saturn

conjunction goes exact between Saturn and Neptune in February. And one of the

and Neptune in February. And one of the world leaders we know that was born then

world leaders we know that was born then was was Putin.

was was Putin. >> Yeah. And uh Xihinping of China. And so

>> Yeah. And uh Xihinping of China. And so yeah, we this is January all there's all

yeah, we this is January all there's all this latent energy all this stuff being

this latent energy all this stuff being decided um all these conjunctions and

decided um all these conjunctions and then um immediately after in February

then um immediately after in February like midFebruary Saturn moves in back

like midFebruary Saturn moves in back into Aries. We've got the Saturn Neptune

into Aries. We've got the Saturn Neptune conjunction. We have that big old

conjunction. We have that big old eclipse in Aquarius only 2 days off from

eclipse in Aquarius only 2 days off from the exact Saturn Neptune conjunction. Uh

the exact Saturn Neptune conjunction. Uh I think things go from like charged

I think things go from like charged intense and whispering in back rooms to

intense and whispering in back rooms to very loud once we get to midFebruary. I

very loud once we get to midFebruary. I don't think there will be um that same

don't think there will be um that same sense of uh of behind closed doors. Um I

sense of uh of behind closed doors. Um I think uh I think the the Saturn Neptune

think uh I think the the Saturn Neptune Saturn Neptune and Aries I think we can

Saturn Neptune and Aries I think we can count on to be um though confusing

count on to be um though confusing neither subtle nor quiet.

neither subtle nor quiet. >> Yes. Let me show the calendar for

>> Yes. Let me show the calendar for February since we've moved on to that

February since we've moved on to that month. And here's the planetary

month. And here's the planetary alignments calendar for February where

alignments calendar for February where as you've pointed out the Saturn Uranus

as you've pointed out the Saturn Uranus Saturn Neptune conjunction is the

Saturn Neptune conjunction is the highlight. But uh we also get on

highlight. But uh we also get on February 3rd Uranus making its final

February 3rd Uranus making its final direct station in Taurus. And Lisa noted

direct station in Taurus. And Lisa noted that not only is Uranus stationing

that not only is Uranus stationing there, but it's also all of the planets

there, but it's also all of the planets that go through Aquarius start squaring

that go through Aquarius start squaring that and like pinging that pinging that

that and like pinging that pinging that for most of February. Um, so we need to

for most of February. Um, so we need to touch base on that. But then just to get

touch base on that. But then just to get the date breakdown, February 13th,

the date breakdown, February 13th, Saturn entering Aries is huge. Um,

Saturn entering Aries is huge. Um, February 17th, we get our first eclipse

February 17th, we get our first eclipse of the year, which is that solar eclipse

of the year, which is that solar eclipse in Aquarius, which happens to be square

in Aquarius, which happens to be square Uranus.

Uranus. >> Uh, the the 20th of February is the

>> Uh, the the 20th of February is the Saturn Neptune conjunction. The 22nd is

Saturn Neptune conjunction. The 22nd is a actually very nice Venus Jupiter

a actually very nice Venus Jupiter trine. The 25th Mercury stations

trine. The 25th Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces for our first

retrograde in Pisces for our first Mercury retrograde of the year. And then

Mercury retrograde of the year. And then there's a Mars Uranus square on the 27th

there's a Mars Uranus square on the 27th with some unexpected disruptions and

with some unexpected disruptions and probably violence. And then the same

probably violence. And then the same day, Mercury, which is retrograde,

day, Mercury, which is retrograde, conjoins Venus um while the two are in

conjoins Venus um while the two are in in Pisces on February 27th.

in Pisces on February 27th. >> Yeah. And so between Saturn moving back

>> Yeah. And so between Saturn moving back into Aries, the eclipse, Saturn, Neptune

into Aries, the eclipse, Saturn, Neptune together, and um all of the squares with

together, and um all of the squares with Uranus, um like loud, jagged, the the

Uranus, um like loud, jagged, the the action um the action starts uh uh uh

action um the action starts uh uh uh starts in an uh inarguable way. Um it's

starts in an uh inarguable way. Um it's there'll be no that the year is off to a

there'll be no that the year is off to a very very loud and jagged start by the

very very loud and jagged start by the time we get to midFebruary. The one uh

time we get to midFebruary. The one uh saving grace I think for February cuz

saving grace I think for February cuz it's it's a there's a lot of like hold

it's it's a there's a lot of like hold on to your seat um is that Venus is

on to your seat um is that Venus is actually in pretty nice condition for a

actually in pretty nice condition for a lot of February. Um I don't love uh

lot of February. Um I don't love uh Venus being present with the eclipse

Venus being present with the eclipse point in Pisces, but Venus is in its

point in Pisces, but Venus is in its exalt exaltation

exalt exaltation and in a trine with Jupiter which is

and in a trine with Jupiter which is also in its exaltation which rules

also in its exaltation which rules Pisces. And so there's a lot of um

Pisces. And so there's a lot of um there's like

there's like craziness but with a side order of

craziness but with a side order of high-end bonific off to the side which

high-end bonific off to the side which uh I'll take.

uh I'll take. Yeah, I do appreciate the um the Venus

Yeah, I do appreciate the um the Venus Jupiter trine that goes exact with

Jupiter trine that goes exact with reception there. It seems like a very

reception there. It seems like a very lovely aspect, but it's just happening

lovely aspect, but it's just happening in the middle of this crazy eclipse

in the middle of this crazy eclipse season where we always see prominent

season where we always see prominent people either falling from a height or

people either falling from a height or sometimes people who were previously

sometimes people who were previously obscure being thrust into the spotlight.

obscure being thrust into the spotlight. And we're going to see a lot of that

And we're going to see a lot of that during this eclipse season, especially

during this eclipse season, especially people that have Saturn and Neptune hard

people that have Saturn and Neptune hard aspects, especially the conjunction

aspects, especially the conjunction natally because that that eclipse

natally because that that eclipse basically is magnifying the importance

basically is magnifying the importance of the Saturn Neptune conjunction at the

of the Saturn Neptune conjunction at the time. Um, but also just this is the

time. Um, but also just this is the final hit of Uranus in Taurus and

final hit of Uranus in Taurus and whatever that transit has been about

whatever that transit has been about since 2018, we're getting one last very

since 2018, we're getting one last very loud blast of that transit here this

loud blast of that transit here this month with all of these planets in

month with all of these planets in Aquarius squaring Uranus and Uranus

Aquarius squaring Uranus and Uranus stationing direct there for the last

stationing direct there for the last time, putting an exclamation mark next

time, putting an exclamation mark next to it. And that's going to have a very

to it. And that's going to have a very personal impact on all of us realizing

personal impact on all of us realizing how much that sector of our chart has

how much that sector of our chart has changed based on whatever house Uranus

changed based on whatever house Uranus has been going through in Taurus since

has been going through in Taurus since 2018 2019. But also in terms of world

2018 2019. But also in terms of world events like some of the things we've

events like some of the things we've seen there is the rapid um growth and

seen there is the rapid um growth and expansion of like digital currencies and

expansion of like digital currencies and like cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and

like cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and things like that becoming more popular

things like that becoming more popular and some final important turning point

and some final important turning point with respect to that taking place at

with respect to that taking place at this time I think with this final

this time I think with this final station. Yeah, absolutely. And um it's

station. Yeah, absolutely. And um it's we've got the station and just as we had

we've got the station and just as we had the 1 2 3 4 planets all conjoining

the 1 2 3 4 planets all conjoining Pluto, we have 1 2 3 4 planets um not in

Pluto, we have 1 2 3 4 planets um not in quite the same tight sequence but still

quite the same tight sequence but still tight enough all squaring Uranus right

tight enough all squaring Uranus right after that station. And the our big uh

after that station. And the our big uh our big eclipse in Aquarius is also

our big eclipse in Aquarius is also square that Uranus. Uh it really is um

square that Uranus. Uh it really is um Uranus uh taking a bow for its

Uranus uh taking a bow for its performance

performance for the many earthquakes that it caused

for the many earthquakes that it caused in the pasture lands of Taurus. Um,

in the pasture lands of Taurus. Um, let's hope.

let's hope. >> And throwing go ahead.

>> And throwing go ahead. >> And throwing one last curveball,

>> And throwing one last curveball, frankly, like this seems like a very

frankly, like this seems like a very like something coming out of left field

like something coming out of left field that's not anticipated, but throwing a

that's not anticipated, but throwing a wrench in things that's unexpected and

wrench in things that's unexpected and um yeah, you know, other urinating

um yeah, you know, other urinating keywords like disruptive, electric, uh,

keywords like disruptive, electric, uh, >> shocking,

>> shocking, >> shocking.

>> shocking. >> Yeah. Um, right. And at the same time as

>> Yeah. Um, right. And at the same time as Saturn Neptune is um basically perfect

Saturn Neptune is um basically perfect um and right at the time like literally

um and right at the time like literally uh aspecting the eclipse. The second

uh aspecting the eclipse. The second half of February is extremely disruptive

half of February is extremely disruptive and confusing but again with this weird

and confusing but again with this weird um

um side order of like uh delicacy level

side order of like uh delicacy level benefits, right? The Jupiter and the

benefits, right? The Jupiter and the Venus look great. They just don't.

Venus look great. They just don't. They're off to the side doing their own

They're off to the side doing their own thing while um Uranus and the eclipse

thing while um Uranus and the eclipse and Saturn, Neptune are all wreaking a

and Saturn, Neptune are all wreaking a very

very confusing chaos

confusing chaos and um yeah, setting setting the seas a

and um yeah, setting setting the seas a boil.

boil. >> Absolutely. So, you know, the eclipse

>> Absolutely. So, you know, the eclipse season opens on February 9th. It peaks

season opens on February 9th. It peaks with the first half of it on February

with the first half of it on February 17th. But then the most intense phase is

17th. But then the most intense phase is the next 2 weeks after that until we hit

the next 2 weeks after that until we hit the second eclipse on March 3rd. And

the second eclipse on March 3rd. And then we get eclipse season continuing

then we get eclipse season continuing for seven more days at least after that.

for seven more days at least after that. So that takes us into the month of

So that takes us into the month of March. And

March. And >> yeah, and Mercury Mercury has gone

>> yeah, and Mercury Mercury has gone retrograde just before we get into

retrograde just before we get into March. Um and the Mercury retrograde is

March. Um and the Mercury retrograde is a big player in March. Um, so we've got,

a big player in March. Um, so we've got, right, we have the lunar eclipse and

right, we have the lunar eclipse and it's not the last lunar eclipse in

it's not the last lunar eclipse in Virgo. We'll have one more in February

Virgo. We'll have one more in February of 2027. Um, so we have the lunar

of 2027. Um, so we have the lunar eclipse in at 12° Virgo on March 3rd,

eclipse in at 12° Virgo on March 3rd, which is opposite Mercury.

which is opposite Mercury. Um, and Mercury is the ruler of this

Um, and Mercury is the ruler of this eclipse. And,

eclipse. And, uh, it is actually the day before the

uh, it is actually the day before the eclipse that Mars goes into Pisces. And

eclipse that Mars goes into Pisces. And so we have this the the eclipse in Virgo

so we have this the the eclipse in Virgo is opposite this Mercury retrograde and

is opposite this Mercury retrograde and Mars combination that we have in Pisces.

Mars combination that we have in Pisces. And we have Mercury retro we have

And we have Mercury retro we have Mercury uh retrograde and direct in uh

Mercury uh retrograde and direct in uh in in Pisces for pretty much the whole

in in Pisces for pretty much the whole month. It is um basically as difficult a

month. It is um basically as difficult a position as you could put Mercury in

position as you could put Mercury in retrograde in the sign of its fall as

retrograde in the sign of its fall as the ruler of the eclipse can joined u

the ruler of the eclipse can joined u one of the eclipse points and conjoin

one of the eclipse points and conjoin Mars. And so just as we spoke earlier

Mars. And so just as we spoke earlier about how the Venus retrograde in the

about how the Venus retrograde in the fourth quarter is a particularly

fourth quarter is a particularly difficult version of a Venus retrograde.

difficult version of a Venus retrograde. This is a pretty disastrous uh

This is a pretty disastrous uh potentially disastrous Mercury

potentially disastrous Mercury retrograde

retrograde as it's uh it it's connected to all

as it's uh it it's connected to all these other things and in uh a maximally

these other things and in uh a maximally difficult position.

difficult position. >> Yeah. The part about the Mercury

>> Yeah. The part about the Mercury retrograde I like the least is that when

retrograde I like the least is that when it stations direct, it has this near the

it stations direct, it has this near the direct station, it has this conjunction

direct station, it has this conjunction with Mars around the middle of the month

with Mars around the middle of the month while it's retrograde. And that really

while it's retrograde. And that really hearkens back to some of the Mercury

hearkens back to some of the Mercury Mars conjunctions that we saw over the

Mars conjunctions that we saw over the past several months and some of the the

past several months and some of the the fights that erupted, a lot of the

fights that erupted, a lot of the tensions and verbal combiveness, but

tensions and verbal combiveness, but also like the technological snafuss and

also like the technological snafuss and other things like that. Although there

other things like that. Although there was also people that were born with

was also people that were born with Mercury Mars conjunctions coming into

Mercury Mars conjunctions coming into prominence at that time.

prominence at that time. Yeah, it's um I think it and again with

Yeah, it's um I think it and again with um Mercury being the ruler of that

um Mercury being the ruler of that eclipse um I think it's going to carry a

eclipse um I think it's going to carry a little extra

little extra power. It's going to a little extra

power. It's going to a little extra potency, a little extra shadow. I think

potency, a little extra shadow. I think it's going to be more confusing and

it's going to be more confusing and distorting. And again, I I I worry with

distorting. And again, I I I worry with with Mercury that connected to Mars,

with Mercury that connected to Mars, right? Because um it suggests that the

right? Because um it suggests that the consequences of misunderstanding or

consequences of misunderstanding or miscommunication

miscommunication or bad information um may be um not

or bad information um may be um not merely mistakes but may lead to uh may

merely mistakes but may lead to uh may lead to disputes, fights, severance um

lead to disputes, fights, severance um you know wars at various levels. um the

you know wars at various levels. um the saving grace.

saving grace. >> One positive.

>> One positive. >> Yeah, we're probably gonna say the same

>> Yeah, we're probably gonna say the same thing that trying to Jupiter though.

thing that trying to Jupiter though. >> Yeah. I mean, the one positive thing

>> Yeah. I mean, the one positive thing that I really want to highlight this

that I really want to highlight this month is Jupiter stationing directing

month is Jupiter stationing directing cancer. Jupiter gathers together like a

cancer. Jupiter gathers together like a huge amount of positive power to impact

huge amount of positive power to impact things and to offset things for the

things and to offset things for the better by stationing direct in the sign

better by stationing direct in the sign of its exaltation uh around 15 degrees

of its exaltation uh around 15 degrees of cancer around the middle of the

of cancer around the middle of the month. And that is helping to offset

month. And that is helping to offset some of the Pisces transits like Mercury

some of the Pisces transits like Mercury and Mars because it has a tr.

and Mars because it has a tr. Yeah, I think there's going to be the

Yeah, I think there's going to be the equivalent of some lost at sea and

equivalent of some lost at sea and surrounded by sharks but miraculously

surrounded by sharks but miraculously discovered before anything goes wrong,

discovered before anything goes wrong, >> right? like some really um really rough

>> right? like some really um really rough circumstances where um people are saved

circumstances where um people are saved or the worst is avoided through um you

or the worst is avoided through um you know

know tremendous grace or divine intervention

tremendous grace or divine intervention or a um a sudden a sudden uh a sudden

or a um a sudden a sudden uh a sudden insight cuz it's a lot for Jupiter to

insight cuz it's a lot for Jupiter to hold back. Um, but there is there's

hold back. Um, but there is there's certainly the um potential and there

certainly the um potential and there will be the reality of it seems really

will be the reality of it seems really awful and maybe it gets pretty bad, but

awful and maybe it gets pretty bad, but then like there's an there's a there's a

then like there's an there's a there's a way out or what was lost was found,

way out or what was lost was found, etc., etc. Nonetheless, it's a it's

etc., etc. Nonetheless, it's a it's definitely a a watch your ass Mercury

definitely a a watch your ass Mercury retrograde.

retrograde. Yeah, I'm thinking that a lot of the

Yeah, I'm thinking that a lot of the good things that Jupiter has promised

good things that Jupiter has promised and has like almost been able to fix as

and has like almost been able to fix as it's been transiting through Cancer

it's been transiting through Cancer starting in the second half of 2025 that

starting in the second half of 2025 that Jupiter's finally able to fully deliver

Jupiter's finally able to fully deliver at this point in March of 2026 and

at this point in March of 2026 and forward because it's finally direct in

forward because it's finally direct in that sign and able to manifest the

that sign and able to manifest the remainder of whatever benefits and

remainder of whatever benefits and rectifications and affirmations that it

rectifications and affirmations that it has to provide in each of our charts in

has to provide in each of our charts in that area. So that's that's a good thing

that area. So that's that's a good thing to be looking forward to, I think, from

to be looking forward to, I think, from that point forward.

that point forward. >> Yeah, Jupiter's going to be doing

>> Yeah, Jupiter's going to be doing maximum work again um from this point in

maximum work again um from this point in mid-March until it's exit from the sign

mid-March until it's exit from the sign at the end of June. And it's a really

at the end of June. And it's a really good time for Jupiter to wake up because

good time for Jupiter to wake up because there's uh there's there's quite a bit a

there's uh there's there's quite a bit a miss at this point in time.

miss at this point in time. >> Yeah, it's got stuff to do. Um okay, so

>> Yeah, it's got stuff to do. Um okay, so let's move on to the month of April.

let's move on to the month of April. Here's the planetary alignments calendar

Here's the planetary alignments calendar for April and the primary things of

for April and the primary things of April. Oh yeah, April is like one of the

April. Oh yeah, April is like one of the busiest months where we've got April

busiest months where we've got April 9th, Mars enters Aries and builds up to

9th, Mars enters Aries and builds up to a Mars Saturn conjunction. April 12th,

a Mars Saturn conjunction. April 12th, there's a Mars Neptune conjunction in

there's a Mars Neptune conjunction in Aries. April 13th, Venus Jupiter sexile

Aries. April 13th, Venus Jupiter sexile is one of the positive aspects this

is one of the positive aspects this month. April 14th, Mercury enters Aries.

month. April 14th, Mercury enters Aries. April 16th, Mercury Neptune conjunction.

April 16th, Mercury Neptune conjunction. April 19th, Mars Saturn conjunction,

April 19th, Mars Saturn conjunction, which is really the focal point of this

which is really the focal point of this entire month. And then April 20th,

entire month. And then April 20th, Mercury joins them the very next day and

Mercury joins them the very next day and conjoins Mars and Saturn at the same

conjoins Mars and Saturn at the same time. And then if that wasn't enough,

time. And then if that wasn't enough, Uranus enters Gemini on April 25th,

Uranus enters Gemini on April 25th, ending its sevenish year transit through

ending its sevenish year transit through Taurus and beginning the rest of its six

Taurus and beginning the rest of its six to sevenyear transit through Gemini.

to sevenyear transit through Gemini. >> Yeah. So um what the beginning of at the

>> Yeah. So um what the beginning of at the beginning of April the um March madness

beginning of April the um March madness is beginning to fade. Venus has just

is beginning to fade. Venus has just moved into Taurus right because Venus

moved into Taurus right because Venus has been co-present in Aries with Saturn

has been co-present in Aries with Saturn and Neptune which is not the easiest

and Neptune which is not the easiest place to be. By the end of March, Venus

place to be. By the end of March, Venus is in Taurus applying to a sex tile with

is in Taurus applying to a sex tile with Jupiter in Cancer. Like great for again

Jupiter in Cancer. Like great for again like we have these nice like side dishes

like we have these nice like side dishes of bonific stuff um at the same time as

of bonific stuff um at the same time as we have um uh historically

we have um uh historically wild and potentially uh dangerous

wild and potentially uh dangerous configurations. Um and so the big the

configurations. Um and so the big the big story is uh absolutely that Mars uh

big story is uh absolutely that Mars uh and entering into Aries on the 10th.

and entering into Aries on the 10th. >> I think Venus will provide a light

>> I think Venus will provide a light distraction but it's very light and the

distraction but it's very light and the the focal point yeah is this conjunction

the focal point yeah is this conjunction that peaks right here between Mars and

that peaks right here between Mars and Saturn which is going to call back to

Saturn which is going to call back to like the Saturn Neptune conjunction. And

like the Saturn Neptune conjunction. And that's one of the weird things

that's one of the weird things delineating some of this is like we get

delineating some of this is like we get a very important

a very important world history turning point in February

world history turning point in February at the exact conjunction but then when

at the exact conjunction but then when Mars and Mercury come in here and

Mars and Mercury come in here and reactivate that conjunction it brings it

reactivate that conjunction it brings it all back into focus again.

all back into focus again. >> Yeah. So one example um right so we have

>> Yeah. So one example um right so we have Saturn Neptune which have their exact

Saturn Neptune which have their exact conjunctions and have like a meaningful

conjunctions and have like a meaningful co-presence because almost all of the

co-presence because almost all of the big stuff that happens doesn't happen in

big stuff that happens doesn't happen in a day even if we can point to uh and it

a day even if we can point to uh and it like we can point to pivotal days in

like we can point to pivotal days in that um and so Mars speeds things up

that um and so Mars speeds things up inflames them it it gets things moving

inflames them it it gets things moving especially in Aries um and the Mars

especially in Aries um and the Mars Saturn um in and of itself is a

Saturn um in and of itself is a potential

potential you know, it it's our most destructive

you know, it it's our most destructive two planet combination,

two planet combination, >> right?

>> right? >> And so, um, just as an example, um, in

>> And so, um, just as an example, um, in 1917 when we had the Saturn, Neptune in

1917 when we had the Saturn, Neptune in Leo, um, Mars moved into, um, Mars moved

Leo, um, Mars moved into, um, Mars moved into, uh, Leo to join Saturn and Neptune

into, uh, Leo to join Saturn and Neptune in, uh, in September and then was there

in, uh, in September and then was there until early November. And so the

until early November. And so the difficulties that the uh I believe they

difficulties that the uh I believe they was the Empire of Russia was having at

was the Empire of Russia was having at this time uh exploded into what's called

this time uh exploded into what's called the October Revolution where um there

the October Revolution where um there was very widespread uh chaos and uh

was very widespread uh chaos and uh destruction of humans and property and

destruction of humans and property and was the initiating event for what would

was the initiating event for what would become the Russian Civil War which would

become the Russian Civil War which would eventually years later um uh uh give us

eventually years later um uh uh give us the USSR

the USSR And so um you know like Mars Mars takes

And so um you know like Mars Mars takes that wood which has been stacked right

that wood which has been stacked right um and sets it a flame um there and we

um and sets it a flame um there and we have a similar pattern during uh during

have a similar pattern during uh during a lot of Saturn Neptune conjunctions

a lot of Saturn Neptune conjunctions where at almost always during at one

where at almost always during at one point during the co-presence of those

point during the co-presence of those two Mars will enter the same sign.

two Mars will enter the same sign. >> Okay. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I mean Mars

>> Okay. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I mean Mars Saturn conjunctions also in like

Saturn conjunctions also in like traditional and ancient astrology are

traditional and ancient astrology are traditionally associated with the

traditionally associated with the outbreak of like plagues and pestilences

outbreak of like plagues and pestilences and things like that. And we certainly

and things like that. And we certainly saw that um in 2020 where there was that

saw that um in 2020 where there was that big stellium pile up in Capricorn that

big stellium pile up in Capricorn that the lockdowns ended up peaking on the

the lockdowns ended up peaking on the Mars Saturn conjunction around that

Mars Saturn conjunction around that time. Um,

time. Um, >> and Saturn Neptune conjunctions

>> and Saturn Neptune conjunctions themselves are, we saw in the Saturn

themselves are, we saw in the Saturn Neptune episode earlier this year,

Neptune episode earlier this year, sometimes associated with different

sometimes associated with different types of um, you know, plagues and

types of um, you know, plagues and things like that breaking out. Um, so

things like that breaking out. Um, so that's not great. Like I don't I'm not

that's not great. Like I don't I'm not liking that aspect in terms of things in

liking that aspect in terms of things in terms of our traditional worst planets.

terms of our traditional worst planets. And then even just Mars moving in there

And then even just Mars moving in there to such a fiery sign and conjoining

to such a fiery sign and conjoining Neptune is going to create some

Neptune is going to create some confusion surrounding conflicts.

confusion surrounding conflicts. >> And in previous years like what was it

>> And in previous years like what was it like maybe 12 years ago or something?

like maybe 12 years ago or something? No, it was like 2010 2011 I remember

No, it was like 2010 2011 I remember famously the Mars Jupiter conjunction in

famously the Mars Jupiter conjunction in Aries coincided with the assassination

Aries coincided with the assassination of Osama bin Laden. basically when when

of Osama bin Laden. basically when when the US finally found Bin Laden, um this

the US finally found Bin Laden, um this conjunction here gives me militaristic

conjunction here gives me militaristic vibes, but there's something confusing

vibes, but there's something confusing about it where the uh causes or the

about it where the uh causes or the actions are either not clear to the

actions are either not clear to the public or where there's a mistake of

public or where there's a mistake of some sort. Like I remember there was a

some sort. Like I remember there was a Mars Neptune hard aspect a few years ago

Mars Neptune hard aspect a few years ago when Biden was in office and the US like

when Biden was in office and the US like launched a strike in in Afghanistan, but

launched a strike in in Afghanistan, but they ended up like targeting the wrong

they ended up like targeting the wrong people and just like massacring

people and just like massacring basically civilians who were not

basically civilians who were not evidently the intended target. And

evidently the intended target. And sometimes that um mistaken attacks

sometimes that um mistaken attacks military-wise can be a result of Mars

military-wise can be a result of Mars Neptune.

Neptune. >> Yeah. Absolutely right. And so Mars

>> Yeah. Absolutely right. And so Mars Saturn is uh is always dangerous. Um

Saturn is uh is always dangerous. Um yeah, capable of uh unleashing plagues,

yeah, capable of uh unleashing plagues, um battles. Again, I think this will I

um battles. Again, I think this will I think we're both in agreement that this

think we're both in agreement that this looks more like attacks and battles than

looks more like attacks and battles than it does plagues. Um but they're they're

it does plagues. Um but they're they're capable of all sorts of um destructive

capable of all sorts of um destructive things and that uh and the presence of

things and that uh and the presence of Neptune introduces that potential for

Neptune introduces that potential for confusion, deception,

confusion, deception, etc., etc., which um becomes quite

etc., etc., which um becomes quite dangerous when we're when we're looking

dangerous when we're when we're looking at uh potent when we're looking at

at uh potent when we're looking at lethal significations, right? The lethal

lethal significations, right? The lethal mistake is infinitely um more impactful

mistake is infinitely um more impactful than the uh the oopsy without lethal

than the uh the oopsy without lethal force. It's very confusing and it it

force. It's very confusing and it it peaks um like right around April 20th

peaks um like right around April 20th when we have um Mercury conjoin but it's

when we have um Mercury conjoin but it's it's quite strong leading up to that and

it's quite strong leading up to that and the co-presence will continue where the

the co-presence will continue where the where both the Mars and Saturn and

where both the Mars and Saturn and Neptune will be in Aries until just past

Neptune will be in Aries until just past the first half of May. And so there's

the first half of May. And so there's there's uh I definitely see um how

there's uh I definitely see um how should I say um uh uh uh uh there there

should I say um uh uh uh uh there there are there are there are alerts there are

are there are there are alerts there are like warning there are hazard lights

like warning there are hazard lights over this period of time especially if

over this period of time especially if you keep any of your important planets

you keep any of your important planets in a cardinal sign.

in a cardinal sign. >> Yeah. And I just I don't like Mercury is

>> Yeah. And I just I don't like Mercury is involved as well because Mercury

involved as well because Mercury conjunct Mars is going to incline people

conjunct Mars is going to incline people towards fighting and like um anger and

towards fighting and like um anger and angry words, but Mercury conjunct

angry words, but Mercury conjunct Neptune is going to incline it towards

Neptune is going to incline it towards confusion and like sometimes making a

confusion and like sometimes making a mistake communicating. And when you put

mistake communicating. And when you put those together, it's like, you know,

those together, it's like, you know, mental or communication mistakes that

mental or communication mistakes that lead to conflict essentially. And then

lead to conflict essentially. And then Mars on top of Saturn Neptune brings

Mars on top of Saturn Neptune brings more of the structural collapse type um

more of the structural collapse type um sides of Saturn Neptune much more to the

sides of Saturn Neptune much more to the forefront.

forefront. >> Yeah, absolutely. It's very much the the

>> Yeah, absolutely. It's very much the the hammer to the rotten pumpkin,

hammer to the rotten pumpkin, >> right?

>> right? >> Um all right. So

>> Um all right. So >> well and and so the um right like right

>> well and and so the um right like right after that that configuration peaks

after that that configuration peaks still in April then we get Uranus,

still in April then we get Uranus, right? Uranus moves back into Gemini

right? Uranus moves back into Gemini four keeps,

four keeps, >> right?

>> right? >> Huge, huge, monumental shift. Let me put

>> Huge, huge, monumental shift. Let me put up a Uranus diagram one more time just

up a Uranus diagram one more time just to um

to um let people know what a major shift this

let people know what a major shift this is in terms of the long term. This is

is in terms of the long term. This is Uranus going into Gemini on April 25th

Uranus going into Gemini on April 25th and then it's going to be there until it

and then it's going to be there until it starts moving into Cancer in 2032 and

starts moving into Cancer in 2032 and 2033. So, we're really talking about

2033. So, we're really talking about like a major long-term um chapter in

like a major long-term um chapter in world events changing at this time, both

world events changing at this time, both in world events as well as in our

in world events as well as in our personal lives at the same time since

personal lives at the same time since this is also Uranus moving from one

this is also Uranus moving from one whole sign house and moving into another

whole sign house and moving into another for like the next seven years.

for like the next seven years. >> Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. And so, think

>> Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. And so, think back to

back to between July and early November of 2025.

between July and early November of 2025. That's when you got your preview of

That's when you got your preview of Uranus and Gemini.

Uranus and Gemini. >> Mhm.

>> Mhm. >> Think about the Gemini house in the

chart. What changed there? What was going on there? Um, good, bad, uh, and

going on there? Um, good, bad, uh, and or other.

or other. >> Yeah,

>> Yeah, I like the oils and the bath salts for that are pretty nice. And I like

for that are pretty nice. And I like that you're capturing some of these

that you're capturing some of these planetary elections and keeping some of

planetary elections and keeping some of that energy bottled up so that people

that energy bottled up so that people can kind of like use it at different

can kind of like use it at different points when they need to to bring a

points when they need to to bring a little bit of that time and like essence

little bit of that time and like essence back into their present life.

back into their present life. >> Yeah. The um Yeah. Uh I I think people

>> Yeah. The um Yeah. Uh I I think people are going to miss Jupiter and Cancer

are going to miss Jupiter and Cancer when it's gone, you know. I think uh I

when it's gone, you know. I think uh I think it's very I I think Jupiter is

think it's very I I think Jupiter is associated with gratitude and teaches

associated with gratitude and teaches gratitude because it's so easy to take

gratitude because it's so easy to take Jupiter for granted. It's just bad stuff

Jupiter for granted. It's just bad stuff that you don't have to experience or

that you don't have to experience or things that end up just fine and then

things that end up just fine and then when that influence is gone or waning um

when that influence is gone or waning um you appreciate um you appreciate being

you appreciate um you appreciate being um protected and maybe even coddled a

um protected and maybe even coddled a little bit.

little bit. >> Excellent. Um, so tell me what are your

>> Excellent. Um, so tell me what are your websites where people can can find out

websites where people can can find out more information. Okay. So, my website

more information. Okay. So, my website for classes and I have a great variety

for classes and I have a great variety of recorded lectures and workshops that

of recorded lectures and workshops that I've given is austinopic.com

I've given is austinopic.com austk.com

and then sphere and sundry where we have the uh the seedbank of auspicious

the uh the seedbank of auspicious planetary positions is uh sphere and

planetary positions is uh sphere and sundry.com

sundry.com s E h e r e a n d s u n d r y.com.

s E h e r e a n d s u n d r y.com. Awesome. Perfect. And I'll put links to

Awesome. Perfect. And I'll put links to those in the description below this

those in the description below this video or on the podcast website for

video or on the podcast website for those that want to check out your

those that want to check out your websites. Cool. All right, let's

websites. Cool. All right, let's transition to talking about the

transition to talking about the astrology of May. Here's the planetary

astrology of May. Here's the planetary alignments calendar. And um the main

alignments calendar. And um the main things that I highlighted it in May is

things that I highlighted it in May is that it opens with this explosive Mars

that it opens with this explosive Mars Jupiter square on May 4th. Then Pluto

Jupiter square on May 4th. Then Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius on May

stations retrograde in Aquarius on May 6th. Venus ingresses into Cancer, which

6th. Venus ingresses into Cancer, which is actually pretty positive. On May 18th

is actually pretty positive. On May 18th because it's it's building up to the

because it's it's building up to the Venus Jupiter conjunction. May 22nd, we

Venus Jupiter conjunction. May 22nd, we get a the first Sun Uranus conjunction

get a the first Sun Uranus conjunction in Gemini, which is an important sonotic

in Gemini, which is an important sonotic cycle reset. And then finally, May 25th,

cycle reset. And then finally, May 25th, we get a Mars square Pluto, which is a

we get a Mars square Pluto, which is a very unpleasant aspect just before we

very unpleasant aspect just before we move into the pleasant part of June.

move into the pleasant part of June. >> Yeah. Um for me the big division um for

>> Yeah. Um for me the big division um for May um is like the uh 16th, 17th, 18th.

May um is like the uh 16th, 17th, 18th. Um cuz 16th we get a new moon and then

Um cuz 16th we get a new moon and then 17th Mercury enters Gemini, 18th Mars

17th Mercury enters Gemini, 18th Mars enters Taurus and Venus enters Cancer.

enters Taurus and Venus enters Cancer. So we get three planetary switcheroos on

So we get three planetary switcheroos on the 17th and 18th and then have a new

the 17th and 18th and then have a new moon to just kind of restart things the

moon to just kind of restart things the day before. Um, and so I am very excited

day before. Um, and so I am very excited about Mars. Not because I love Mars and

about Mars. Not because I love Mars and Taurus. Um, and I'm so excited to see it

Taurus. Um, and I'm so excited to see it square Pluto, but I think, um, we will

square Pluto, but I think, um, we will definitely need a break from Mars,

definitely need a break from Mars, Saturn, Neptune in Aries. Um, and so

Saturn, Neptune in Aries. Um, and so that ends that period of really intense,

that ends that period of really intense, fiery um, co-presence. And so I love

fiery um, co-presence. And so I love that. Um, who doesn't love Mercury in

that. Um, who doesn't love Mercury in Gemini?

Gemini? Well, probably some people. I love

Well, probably some people. I love Mercury and Gemini. Um, Mercury loves

Mercury and Gemini. Um, Mercury loves being in Gemini. And we get the

being in Gemini. And we get the beginning of Venus's co-presence with

beginning of Venus's co-presence with Jupiter and Cancer. It is not um it is

Jupiter and Cancer. It is not um it is not uh unopposed. Saturn is there is

not uh unopposed. Saturn is there is going to square Venus for a while, but

going to square Venus for a while, but it's the beginning of both benefitics

it's the beginning of both benefitics together in Cancer. Very wholesome, very

together in Cancer. Very wholesome, very sweet, very restorative. Um it's a it's

sweet, very restorative. Um it's a it's a ser it's three quick changes all in

a ser it's three quick changes all in two days. um that begins the like month

two days. um that begins the like month and a halfish, let's say five weeks,

and a halfish, let's say five weeks, five or six weeks that um I would

five or six weeks that um I would consider the best stretch of the year.

consider the best stretch of the year. It's not without flaw, but I I think

It's not without flaw, but I I think it's the nicest portion of the year or

it's the nicest portion of the year or begins the nicest portion of the year.

begins the nicest portion of the year. Yeah, early June is absolutely we have

Yeah, early June is absolutely we have to get through though this this Mars

to get through though this this Mars Pluto square first which is annoying

Pluto square first which is annoying because it kind of interrupts the early

because it kind of interrupts the early part of Venus in Cancer where Pluto's

part of Venus in Cancer where Pluto's station early in the month is as far

station early in the month is as far into Aquarius as it's gotten at this

into Aquarius as it's gotten at this point where it's getting to like 5 six

point where it's getting to like 5 six degrees of Aquarius and then it stations

degrees of Aquarius and then it stations retrograde. Um, so there's this loud

retrograde. Um, so there's this loud exclamation mark next to Pluto and some

exclamation mark next to Pluto and some of the technological leaps and bounds

of the technological leaps and bounds that it's making over the past few years

that it's making over the past few years coming to a critical turning point, but

coming to a critical turning point, but we start to see some of the downsides of

we start to see some of the downsides of that technology. I think is part of what

that technology. I think is part of what we see here when Mars squares Pluto. And

we see here when Mars squares Pluto. And um, I don't like that aspect because

um, I don't like that aspect because it's not coincided with great stuff over

it's not coincided with great stuff over the past few years. And I was just

the past few years. And I was just watching, like I said, like the Civil

watching, like I said, like the Civil War documentary and like two of the

War documentary and like two of the biggest early bloodiest battles of the

biggest early bloodiest battles of the Civil War where people were like, "Oh,

Civil War where people were like, "Oh, okay, this is this is bad. This is not

okay, this is this is bad. This is not going to be easy." happened on Mars,

going to be easy." happened on Mars, Pluto squares, um with some of the

Pluto squares, um with some of the biggest like carnage and things like

biggest like carnage and things like that. And I thought that was really

that. And I thought that was really striking noticing that as I'm looking at

striking noticing that as I'm looking at charts like um watching this early this

charts like um watching this early this Civil War documentary.

Civil War documentary. >> Interesting. And we also get and this as

>> Interesting. And we also get and this as a wild card we have um as you mentioned

a wild card we have um as you mentioned the sun's conjunction first conjunction

the sun's conjunction first conjunction with Uranus and Gemini and shortly

with Uranus and Gemini and shortly before that we had Mercury uh Mercury's

before that we had Mercury uh Mercury's first conjunction with Uranus and Gemini

first conjunction with Uranus and Gemini right so um May has like so we really we

right so um May has like so we really we get to see a bunch of Mercury or excuse

get to see a bunch of Mercury or excuse me a bunch of Uranus and Gemini not all

me a bunch of Uranus and Gemini not all of which is bad some of which is going

of which is bad some of which is going to be quite clever and fun and

to be quite clever and fun and innovative

innovative um uh while we've got um the this Venus

um uh while we've got um the this Venus Jupiter thing forming up and again I you

Jupiter thing forming up and again I you know I don't like Mars square Pluto but

know I don't like Mars square Pluto but I think I'll take it over the the

I think I'll take it over the the co-presence with Saturn in Aries. Um I

co-presence with Saturn in Aries. Um I think and especially once Mars clears

think and especially once Mars clears that square with Saturn, it's a

that square with Saturn, it's a significantly deescalated Mars compared

significantly deescalated Mars compared to the whole time in Aries and honestly

to the whole time in Aries and honestly in Pisces um being on the same axis as

in Pisces um being on the same axis as the as the second eclipse and caught up

the as the second eclipse and caught up in that Mercury retrograde. Um that's

in that Mercury retrograde. Um that's going to be that was probably pretty

going to be that was probably pretty Marsy as well. Um, so, um, I I'll take

Marsy as well. Um, so, um, I I'll take I'll take this Mars and Taurus,

I'll take this Mars and Taurus, especially once we clear this square

especially once we clear this square with Pluto.

with Pluto. >> Okay. We'll see. We'll see when it comes

>> Okay. We'll see. We'll see when it comes time for that. Um, but all right. So,

time for that. Um, but all right. So, let's move into June. I think that's

let's move into June. I think that's good for

good for >> May because now we get into my favorite

>> May because now we get into my favorite part of the year. um at the beginning of

part of the year. um at the beginning of June when things seem the nicest and the

June when things seem the nicest and the calmst compared to other parts of this

calmst compared to other parts of this year which are so pivotal and decisive

year which are so pivotal and decisive and everything else and the highlights

and everything else and the highlights of June include the Venus Jupiter

of June include the Venus Jupiter conjunction which goes exact in Cancer

conjunction which goes exact in Cancer on June 9th but then later in the month

on June 9th but then later in the month things start to change all at once and

things start to change all at once and there's this huge shift when on June uh

there's this huge shift when on June uh 28th Mars ingresses into Gemini on the

28th Mars ingresses into Gemini on the 29th Mercury retrogrades in Cancer and

29th Mercury retrogrades in Cancer and then also On the 29th, Jupiter enters

then also On the 29th, Jupiter enters Leo. So, we'll we'll talk about those

Leo. So, we'll we'll talk about those separately, but let's talk let's talk

separately, but let's talk let's talk about the good part first. All right.

about the good part first. All right. >> Yeah. Because the the um Jokeresque

>> Yeah. Because the the um Jokeresque prank is not until the end. Right. So,

prank is not until the end. Right. So, we've got um all the nice things that we

we've got um all the nice things that we talked about with the end of May. Um

talked about with the end of May. Um Mars has cleared that square with Pluto.

Mars has cleared that square with Pluto. Um Venus is drawing uh has drawn clo

Um Venus is drawing uh has drawn clo draws close to and then conjoins

draws close to and then conjoins Jupiter. Uh Mercury has joined the party

Jupiter. Uh Mercury has joined the party in Cancer and um you know the rule with

in Cancer and um you know the rule with Mercury is Mercury is friendly when

Mercury is Mercury is friendly when Mercury hangs out with friendly planets

Mercury hangs out with friendly planets and uh is an when hangs out with

and uh is an when hangs out with malefific and so we had Mercury with

malefific and so we had Mercury with both malefific during April. Now we have

both malefific during April. Now we have Mercury with both benefitics for a

Mercury with both benefitics for a little bit. Um, and so Saturn gets to um

little bit. Um, and so Saturn gets to um kind of boo and um uh uh limit the

kind of boo and um uh uh limit the perfect joy that is otherwise available

perfect joy that is otherwise available in cancer. But it's a lot it's a lot of

in cancer. But it's a lot it's a lot of uh it's a lot of good stuff all in one

uh it's a lot of good stuff all in one place.

place. Yeah, I think this is just about the

Yeah, I think this is just about the confirmation of good things and the

confirmation of good things and the affirmation of romantic unions such as

affirmation of romantic unions such as through like marriage and long-term

through like marriage and long-term partnership, the reconciliation of

partnership, the reconciliation of people that have previously fallen apart

people that have previously fallen apart or been severed for some reason, having

or been severed for some reason, having them come back together. And this is

them come back together. And this is also because Jupiter's moving super fast

also because Jupiter's moving super fast at this point. So, it's on its way out

at this point. So, it's on its way out of Cancer, but it has this one last

of Cancer, but it has this one last really positive aspect which I think is

really positive aspect which I think is going to help to smooth over any

going to help to smooth over any remaining um issues from the Mars

remaining um issues from the Mars retrograde that was happening in the

retrograde that was happening in the early part of 2025.

early part of 2025. Uh will finally get smoothed over at

Uh will finally get smoothed over at this time before Jupiter departs from

this time before Jupiter departs from that sign. And like I said, I'm

that sign. And like I said, I'm expecting some like notable celebrity

expecting some like notable celebrity like weddings or proposals around this

like weddings or proposals around this time. And it'll be interesting to see

time. And it'll be interesting to see how that goes. Since last summer, the

how that goes. Since last summer, the biggest one was like the Taylor Swift

biggest one was like the Taylor Swift proposal was all over the news and went

proposal was all over the news and went viral.

viral. >> Yeah. Yeah. No, it's kind of a just as

>> Yeah. Yeah. No, it's kind of a just as Mars Saturn can can give you all bad all

Mars Saturn can can give you all bad all things that are hard. Um the Venus

things that are hard. Um the Venus Jupiter um especially in a in a sweet uh

Jupiter um especially in a in a sweet uh a sweet caring place like cancer

a sweet caring place like cancer has a a bread a picnic basket full of a

has a a bread a picnic basket full of a a wide medley of like pleasant healing

a wide medley of like pleasant healing restorative uh reinforcing affirmative

restorative uh reinforcing affirmative maybe things you know maybe things are

maybe things you know maybe things are going to be all right uh sort of things.

going to be all right uh sort of things. >> Yeah. Nurturing. Um, so some of the best

>> Yeah. Nurturing. Um, so some of the best electional charts of the year are in

electional charts of the year are in this time frame in like early June. So,

this time frame in like early June. So, um, yeah, I'll save that for the

um, yeah, I'll save that for the electional astrology report, but just to

electional astrology report, but just to give people a preview, like that's a

give people a preview, like that's a really good aspect. So, take advantage

really good aspect. So, take advantage of it or check out the report if you

of it or check out the report if you want to find some specific dates that we

want to find some specific dates that we would recommend. Yeah. And I will just

would recommend. Yeah. And I will just add that there really aren't very many

add that there really aren't very many um, pastoral moments in 2026. Like, this

um, pastoral moments in 2026. Like, this is this is as good as it gets. Um, and

is this is as good as it gets. Um, and so if you're uh if you want to do

so if you're uh if you want to do something really nice or if you have

something really nice or if you have something that really needs a good

something that really needs a good chart, um, it's going to be difficult to

chart, um, it's going to be difficult to do better than this uh, first couple

do better than this uh, first couple weeks of June.

weeks of June. Yeah, absolutely. Um,

Yeah, absolutely. Um, yeah. So, you can find out more about

yeah. So, you can find out more about the elections that we recommend, the

the elections that we recommend, the specific dates and times at the

specific dates and times at the astrologyodcast.com/2026report.

All right. So later in the month things things change though. There's like a

things change though. There's like a shift and we get it it comes at the end

shift and we get it it comes at the end of June but it's basically taking us

of June but it's basically taking us into July.

into July. >> It's it's such an evil twist,

>> It's it's such an evil twist, >> right? It's like we get this nice little

>> right? It's like we get this nice little island of goodness with Venus Jupiter,

island of goodness with Venus Jupiter, but then it's like we're back to

but then it's like we're back to important worldchanging

important worldchanging historic events taking place basically

historic events taking place basically as we move into late June and early

as we move into late June and early July.

July. >> Right? So, if we we're looking at

>> Right? So, if we we're looking at Mercury and we're like, "Oh, Mercury is

Mercury and we're like, "Oh, Mercury is going to make a conjunction with

going to make a conjunction with Jupiter." Oh, we had a Venus Jupiter

Jupiter." Oh, we had a Venus Jupiter conjunction. Now, we're going to have a

conjunction. Now, we're going to have a Mercury Jupiter conjunction. Um, but

Mercury Jupiter conjunction. Um, but Mercury says, "Nah." And stations

Mercury says, "Nah." And stations retrograde on the 29th, right before

retrograde on the 29th, right before making completing that conjunction. And

making completing that conjunction. And that is the same calendar day um that

that is the same calendar day um that Mars enters Gemini. And so the Mars

Mars enters Gemini. And so the Mars entering Gemini means that we're we

entering Gemini means that we're we we're now very close to the perfect Mars

we're now very close to the perfect Mars Uranus conjunction in Gemini, which

Uranus conjunction in Gemini, which we've discussed um uh quite a bit and is

we've discussed um uh quite a bit and is extremely disruptive and historical in

extremely disruptive and historical in its disruptiveness. But not only that,

its disruptiveness. But not only that, but it's Mars and it's Mars, Uranus, and

but it's Mars and it's Mars, Uranus, and Gemini, meaning it's ruled by Mercury.

Gemini, meaning it's ruled by Mercury. So this this conjunction this first

So this this conjunction this first conjunction is getting set to take place

conjunction is getting set to take place as Mercury is stationing retrograde and

as Mercury is stationing retrograde and declaring chaos declaring that it will

declaring chaos declaring that it will not in fact conjoin Jupiter and Jupiter

not in fact conjoin Jupiter and Jupiter says no more cancer and moves into Leo

says no more cancer and moves into Leo and begins opposing Pluto all basically

and begins opposing Pluto all basically within a day. All this occurs within

within a day. All this occurs within about 36 hours. And so the thing that we

about 36 hours. And so the thing that we thought was going to happen the Mercury

thought was going to happen the Mercury Jupiter doesn't happen. Mercury's

Jupiter doesn't happen. Mercury's retrograde and Mercury ruled Mars uh is

retrograde and Mercury ruled Mars uh is now like dead set on a conjunction with

now like dead set on a conjunction with Uranus and so like what a twist at the

Uranus and so like what a twist at the end of June.

end of June. >> Yeah, it definitely takes a turn.

>> Yeah, it definitely takes a turn. There's like a heel turn that happens.

There's like a heel turn that happens. It's crazy how close Mercury gets

It's crazy how close Mercury gets because we almost get that Mercury

because we almost get that Mercury Jupiter conjunction and then it just

Jupiter conjunction and then it just gets averted. So, let me find the July

gets averted. So, let me find the July calendar since we're already talking

calendar since we're already talking about July,

about July, >> right? And so that's how we enter July.

>> right? And so that's how we enter July. >> Yeah. So here is the the calendar for

>> Yeah. So here is the the calendar for July, which is a a crazy month. It's

July, which is a a crazy month. It's it's one of the the craziest and most

it's one of the the craziest and most active months of the year- which is

active months of the year- which is weird to say in such an otherwise very

weird to say in such an otherwise very active year, but July really does stand

active year, but July really does stand out. And the things about July that I

out. And the things about July that I want to mention as the highlights. It's

want to mention as the highlights. It's a very long list, but it's like July 4th

a very long list, but it's like July 4th Mars Uranus conjunction. Uh July 7th,

Mars Uranus conjunction. Uh July 7th, Neptune stations retrograde. July 17th,

Neptune stations retrograde. July 17th, Uranus Pluto trine goes exact for the

Uranus Pluto trine goes exact for the first time, which is major and

first time, which is major and monumental. July 20th, Jupiter opposes

monumental. July 20th, Jupiter opposes Pluto. July 20th, also Jupiter trines

Pluto. July 20th, also Jupiter trines Neptune. July 23rd, Mercury finally

Neptune. July 23rd, Mercury finally stations directing Cancer. July 26th,

stations directing Cancer. July 26th, Saturn stations retrograde. July 26th,

Saturn stations retrograde. July 26th, North Node enters Aquarius. And then

North Node enters Aquarius. And then finally, July 29th, there's a Sun

finally, July 29th, there's a Sun Jupiter conjunction in Leo.

Jupiter conjunction in Leo. >> Yeah. And the uh just just to add a

>> Yeah. And the uh just just to add a little bit to that, we have um uh we

little bit to that, we have um uh we have Jupiter and Pluto and Uranus and

have Jupiter and Pluto and Uranus and Neptune all at 4° of their respective

Neptune all at 4° of their respective signs um for a couple portion for

signs um for a couple portion for several days in a row in July. So like

several days in a row in July. So like everybody's aspecting perfectly. Like on

everybody's aspecting perfectly. Like on the 19th through the 23rd we have four

the 19th through the 23rd we have four planets at 4°. Um and then um and then

planets at 4°. Um and then um and then the sun hits four degrees of Leo on the

the sun hits four degrees of Leo on the 27th. Um and then on on the same day as

27th. Um and then on on the same day as the sun Jupiter conjunction the 29th we

the sun Jupiter conjunction the 29th we have a full moon at 6 Aquarius which is

have a full moon at 6 Aquarius which is real close to that four. So it's a full

real close to that four. So it's a full moon basically right on top of Pluto and

moon basically right on top of Pluto and aspecting Mars and Uranus and everybody

aspecting Mars and Uranus and everybody else like every everything is connecting

else like every everything is connecting to everything. Um, and it's uh yeah,

to everything. Um, and it's uh yeah, it'll uh uh the uh the traditional way

it'll uh uh the uh the traditional way that July 4th is celebrated with lots of

that July 4th is celebrated with lots of explosions and noise um seems very

explosions and noise um seems very appropriate. Um but appropriate all

appropriate. Um but appropriate all month.

month. >> Yeah, especially around that conjunction

>> Yeah, especially around that conjunction though. One of the things we always see

though. One of the things we always see on these Mars Uranus conjunctions is so

on these Mars Uranus conjunctions is so much starts happening at once. like a

much starts happening at once. like a ton of events start happening at once

ton of events start happening at once and this is forming already cuz Mars

and this is forming already cuz Mars Uranus comes within 10° by like June

Uranus comes within 10° by like June 17th. But really when Mars goes into

17th. But really when Mars goes into Gemini in June 28th, that's when there's

Gemini in June 28th, that's when there's this distinct turn when it gets within

this distinct turn when it gets within 3° which peaks on the 3rd and the 4th

3° which peaks on the 3rd and the 4th and then eventually it's not until July

and then eventually it's not until July 19th that it's like 10° away but it's

19th that it's like 10° away but it's still co-present for the rest of that

still co-present for the rest of that that time. And historically, it's the

that time. And historically, it's the entire co-presence of Mars and Uranus

entire co-presence of Mars and Uranus and Gemini that represents the most

and Gemini that represents the most important turning points in US history,

important turning points in US history, especially during the Uranus and Gemini

especially during the Uranus and Gemini periods, which always represent major

periods, which always represent major conflicts or wars. And even just in the

conflicts or wars. And even just in the past few years, to give you some preview

past few years, to give you some preview of the Mars, Uranus conjunctions in

of the Mars, Uranus conjunctions in Taurus that have led up to and probably

Taurus that have led up to and probably represented some of the precipitating

represented some of the precipitating events. Um, in 2020, the Mars Uranus

events. Um, in 2020, the Mars Uranus conjunction in Taurus was January 6th

conjunction in Taurus was January 6th and Biden's inauguration.

and Biden's inauguration. Um, in 2022, the Mars Uranus

Um, in 2022, the Mars Uranus conjunction, the primary thing was um

conjunction, the primary thing was um Trump's home in Mara Lago was raided by

Trump's home in Mara Lago was raided by the FBI and that was the start of his

the FBI and that was the start of his legal troubles for like the FBI cases

legal troubles for like the FBI cases files. Um the same time Nancy Pelosi

files. Um the same time Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan and it set off this

visited Taiwan and it set off this international thing between the US and

international thing between the US and China. Um that was problematic and

China. Um that was problematic and probably a precursor. Then two years

probably a precursor. Then two years after that, the next Mars Uranus

after that, the next Mars Uranus conjunction happened in July of 2024

conjunction happened in July of 2024 during the US presidential election and

during the US presidential election and at that time there was the assassination

at that time there was the assassination attempt that took place in Pennsylvania.

attempt that took place in Pennsylvania. Then a few days later, the RNC

Then a few days later, the RNC convention happened and num Trump was

convention happened and num Trump was nominated as the Republican nominee for

nominated as the Republican nominee for his party. He also selected and

his party. He also selected and announced Vance the day of the Mars

announced Vance the day of the Mars Uranus conjunction. And the case, the

Uranus conjunction. And the case, the FBI case from two years earlier was

FBI case from two years earlier was suddenly dismissed by a federal judge.

suddenly dismissed by a federal judge. And then a few days after that, Biden

And then a few days after that, Biden got sick and dropped out of the race. So

got sick and dropped out of the race. So that was the last Mars Uranus

that was the last Mars Uranus conjunction. And that's what I mean when

conjunction. And that's what I mean when I say so much happens at once and it's

I say so much happens at once and it's all very pivotal stuff especially in US

all very pivotal stuff especially in US history and this is the next one and

history and this is the next one and it's happening on July 4th.

it's happening on July 4th. >> Yeah. It's um it's it's if we probably

>> Yeah. It's um it's it's if we probably if we had to pick one configuration for

if we had to pick one configuration for the United States this year this is what

the United States this year this is what we pick right like most telling moment.

we pick right like most telling moment. >> Absolutely. and like the civil war, Fort

>> Absolutely. and like the civil war, Fort Sumpter started on a Mars Uranus

Sumpter started on a Mars Uranus conjunction in Gemini to give you some

conjunction in Gemini to give you some historical perspective as well. Um

historical perspective as well. Um there's just major turning points

there's just major turning points sometimes in US history that that start

sometimes in US history that that start on these conjunctions. And this is going

on these conjunctions. And this is going to be a big one. And it's the first of

to be a big one. And it's the first of four that'll happen from this point

four that'll happen from this point forward every two years. But this one's

forward every two years. But this one's important because it's falling right on

important because it's falling right on the nation's birthday. So that means

the nation's birthday. So that means it's going to bake it into the solar

it's going to bake it into the solar return chart for this entire year. Yep.

return chart for this entire year. Yep. And uh

And uh yeah. Yeah. Um and we'll see how much um

yeah. Yeah. Um and we'll see how much um it's describing domestic, how much

it's describing domestic, how much international, how much both, but um

international, how much both, but um it's it's the it's the it's the birthday

it's it's the it's the it's the birthday party to uh to watch closely.

party to uh to watch closely. >> Absolutely. Absolutely.

>> Absolutely. Absolutely. >> And um as and the other stuff, right? Um

>> And um as and the other stuff, right? Um there's just um everything is talking to

there's just um everything is talking to everything. Uranus is aspecting like

everything. Uranus is aspecting like four or five planets um uh including

four or five planets um uh including Mars like pretty much all month. Um

Mars like pretty much all month. Um whatever is set off by the Mars Uranus

whatever is set off by the Mars Uranus has plenty of fuel um from the rest of

has plenty of fuel um from the rest of the sky. It's not like the Mars Uranus

the sky. It's not like the Mars Uranus conjunction is isolated off in a corner

conjunction is isolated off in a corner and not aspecting everything. It's tied

and not aspecting everything. It's tied into almost everything when it occurs.

into almost everything when it occurs. >> Yeah. One of the most important things

>> Yeah. One of the most important things it's tied into is we get our very first

it's tied into is we get our very first Uranus Pluto trine this year. And I

Uranus Pluto trine this year. And I cannot we cannot underestimate and I

cannot we cannot underestimate and I cannot understate how much that's going

cannot understate how much that's going to accelerate the pace of technological

to accelerate the pace of technological development. And like the only thing I

development. And like the only thing I can even imagine that could accelerate

can even imagine that could accelerate it from what it's already been doing

it from what it's already been doing over the past few years is if there's

over the past few years is if there's some sort of like massive leap in terms

some sort of like massive leap in terms of some of the artificial intelligence

of some of the artificial intelligence stuff that that represents. And this is

stuff that that represents. And this is the first TR that we'll get this year,

the first TR that we'll get this year, but there'll be another one later in the

but there'll be another one later in the year, I think, that goes exact around

year, I think, that goes exact around December,

December, >> I think. Yeah, I think you're right. Um,

>> I think. Yeah, I think you're right. Um, but yeah, it's absolutely um cyberpunk

but yeah, it's absolutely um cyberpunk fuel. Um, and you know, yeah, and we'll

fuel. Um, and you know, yeah, and we'll we'll see what that what that looks

we'll see what that what that looks like. It'll probably look like several

like. It'll probably look like several things, some of which will only be clear

things, some of which will only be clear in retrospect. Um but yeah um it yeah

in retrospect. Um but yeah um it yeah the and yes

the and yes >> and I do and it's even though we don't

>> and I do and it's even though we don't um we don't like for Jupiter's sake

um we don't like for Jupiter's sake Jupiter opposing Pluto we also have

Jupiter opposing Pluto we also have Jupiter sexiling Uranus and Jupiter you

Jupiter sexiling Uranus and Jupiter you know uh aspecting Pluto and Jupiter

know uh aspecting Pluto and Jupiter trining Neptune. The Jupiter also

trining Neptune. The Jupiter also supports that configuration and the

supports that configuration and the Neptune supports that configuration. and

Neptune supports that configuration. and they're all um moving very fast and

they're all um moving very fast and supporting each other in that fast,

supporting each other in that fast, fiery, potentially quite unsustainable

fiery, potentially quite unsustainable uh race forward,

uh race forward, >> right? Yeah. Um but also the Saturn

>> right? Yeah. Um but also the Saturn Neptune is getting conjunction is

Neptune is getting conjunction is getting reactivated this month with both

getting reactivated this month with both of them stationing retrograde. There's

of them stationing retrograde. There's really like three times this year that

really like three times this year that Saturn Neptune gets really activated.

Saturn Neptune gets really activated. It's the conjunction in February. It's

It's the conjunction in February. It's this station in July. And then it's

this station in July. And then it's another station at the end of the year

another station at the end of the year in December when I feel like some of the

in December when I feel like some of the intensity of the reality distortion

intensity of the reality distortion field we're going to be reminded of at

field we're going to be reminded of at this point even as those two start

this point even as those two start moving away.

moving away. >> Yeah. Uh those are great points because

>> Yeah. Uh those are great points because they're close together. They station

they're close together. They station direct and retrograde very close to each

direct and retrograde very close to each other in terms of calendar dates, right?

other in terms of calendar dates, right? And so in terms of the Yeah. Um, in in

And so in terms of the Yeah. Um, in in terms of all of our our Saturn Neptune

>> Yeah. And you get some maybe some uh Yes. Maybe some exciting Mercury, Uranus

Yes. Maybe some exciting Mercury, Uranus uh and Gemini vibes. Some uh some

uh and Gemini vibes. Some uh some exciting new ideas.

exciting new ideas. >> Absolutely. All right, my friend. Let's

>> Absolutely. All right, my friend. Let's move on to talking about the astrology

move on to talking about the astrology of August, which is when we get our

of August, which is when we get our second eclipse season taking place, as

second eclipse season taking place, as well as a number of other other notable

well as a number of other other notable things. So, here's the planetary

things. So, here's the planetary alignments calendar for

alignments calendar for that month. And the major things that I

that month. And the major things that I wanted to mention about August are

wanted to mention about August are really several things because there's

really several things because there's actually um quite a bit coming off of

actually um quite a bit coming off of the transits of July and and the

the transits of July and and the craziness of July. But the main

craziness of July. But the main breakdown I want to say is August 6th,

breakdown I want to say is August 6th, Venus ingresses into Libra, which is

Venus ingresses into Libra, which is important because that's the sign it's

important because that's the sign it's going to retrograde into, retrograde

going to retrograde into, retrograde back to, I should say. So we basically

back to, I should say. So we basically have the onset of the pre Venus

have the onset of the pre Venus retrograde period and the onset of a

retrograde period and the onset of a very extended transit of Venus through

very extended transit of Venus through that sign and that sector of each of our

that sign and that sector of each of our birth charts. So start paying attention

birth charts. So start paying attention to that then. Then August 12th we get

to that then. Then August 12th we get the solar eclipse in Leo which is the

the solar eclipse in Leo which is the first of that new eclipse series. August

first of that new eclipse series. August 17th we get a lovely little Venus

17th we get a lovely little Venus Jupiter sex tile. August 27th there's a

Jupiter sex tile. August 27th there's a lunar eclipse in Pisces. And then August

lunar eclipse in Pisces. And then August 31st, we have Venus entering its shadow

31st, we have Venus entering its shadow degree at 22 degrees of Libra, which is

degree at 22 degrees of Libra, which is the degree it will retrograde back to at

the degree it will retrograde back to at the end of the Venus retrograde period

the end of the Venus retrograde period in November. But then the same day, we

in November. But then the same day, we also get the completion of a Jupiter

also get the completion of a Jupiter Saturn trine on August 31st, although

Saturn trine on August 31st, although it's a little bit marred by the fact

it's a little bit marred by the fact that like the very next day on September

that like the very next day on September 1st, Mars also squares Saturn at the

1st, Mars also squares Saturn at the same time. So we got some some

same time. So we got some some trickiness with that.

trickiness with that. >> Yeah. So yeah, so Venus um right, Venus

>> Yeah. So yeah, so Venus um right, Venus in Venus has got a complicated time in

in Venus has got a complicated time in Libra this year. Usually it's a bit of

Libra this year. Usually it's a bit of uh it's a bit of a relief when Venus

uh it's a bit of a relief when Venus leaves Virgo and goes into Libra. It's a

leaves Virgo and goes into Libra. It's a chance to rebalance and re-equilibriate

chance to rebalance and re-equilibriate emotionally. And there'll be some of

emotionally. And there'll be some of that, but there's there's something a

that, but there's there's something a little bit more complicated beneath the

little bit more complicated beneath the surface. Um, one of the things that I'm

surface. Um, one of the things that I'm focused on for August, in addition to

focused on for August, in addition to what you mentioned, is Mars's ingress

what you mentioned, is Mars's ingress into Cancer. Um, which will be Mars's

into Cancer. Um, which will be Mars's first time back into Cancer since the

first time back into Cancer since the extended retrograde stay in 2024 and

extended retrograde stay in 2024 and part of 2025.

part of 2025. And, uh, this time Mars will spend a lot

And, uh, this time Mars will spend a lot of it in a square with Saturn. And so we

of it in a square with Saturn. And so we have building especially during the

have building especially during the latter half of the month um a square

latter half of the month um a square between Mars and Saturn while both are

between Mars and Saturn while both are in the sign uh of their depression or

in the sign uh of their depression or fall which provides uh like a tense

fall which provides uh like a tense frictive potentially

frictive potentially nasty little current in the background

nasty little current in the background of things. And although they don't um

of things. And although they don't um that they don't uh they don't T-square

that they don't uh they don't T-square Venus exactly, it also uh Mars and

Venus exactly, it also uh Mars and Saturn being in cardinal signs while

Saturn being in cardinal signs while Venus is in the cardinal sign of Libra

Venus is in the cardinal sign of Libra um also serves to complicate Venus's

um also serves to complicate Venus's ability to make peace while in the sign

ability to make peace while in the sign of the scales.

of the scales. But

But >> yeah,

>> yeah, >> I think you'd agree the big story is the

>> I think you'd agree the big story is the the solar eclipse. Yeah, I mean all this

the solar eclipse. Yeah, I mean all this is happening in the context of eclipse

is happening in the context of eclipse season where and especially since the

season where and especially since the first eclipse happens in Leo, you know,

first eclipse happens in Leo, you know, all eclipses we always see these

all eclipses we always see these prominent figures rise and fall. And I

prominent figures rise and fall. And I think this is going to be even more the

think this is going to be even more the case here during this eclipse because

case here during this eclipse because it's happening in Leo with Jupiter and

it's happening in Leo with Jupiter and and Mercury also in Leo at the same

and Mercury also in Leo at the same time. So this focus on public figures of

time. So this focus on public figures of people that are highly visible but then

people that are highly visible but then this energy of that suddenly becoming

this energy of that suddenly becoming eclipsed near the south node which can

eclipsed near the south node which can sometimes signify a decrease or a

sometimes signify a decrease or a detraction of things and um just the

detraction of things and um just the potential for some prominent people to

potential for some prominent people to either become obscured. Sometimes we've

either become obscured. Sometimes we've seen major public downfalls. We also

seen major public downfalls. We also sometimes see like major celebrity

sometimes see like major celebrity deaths like taking place during that

deaths like taking place during that period. But the flip side is there's

period. But the flip side is there's probably going to be some people with

probably going to be some people with like Leo placements that suddenly are

like Leo placements that suddenly are thrust into prominence in in relatively

thrust into prominence in in relatively positive ways, but during the context of

positive ways, but during the context of what's otherwise kind of like a chaotic

what's otherwise kind of like a chaotic eclipse season as eclipse seasons often

eclipse season as eclipse seasons often are.

are. >> Yeah. Um, we have this like coming out

>> Yeah. Um, we have this like coming out of nowhere and then um going to nowhere

of nowhere and then um going to nowhere where someone who's bright and prominent

where someone who's bright and prominent disappears or falls and somebody you've

disappears or falls and somebody you've never heard of um comes out of nowhere.

never heard of um comes out of nowhere. Um the the eclipse portal is uh a

Um the the eclipse portal is uh a two-way portal. Um and this is uh this

two-way portal. Um and this is uh this is the first really complicating thing

is the first really complicating thing that we see or this is one of the really

that we see or this is one of the really complicating things that we discussed in

complicating things that we discussed in the context of Jupiter's time in Leo.

the context of Jupiter's time in Leo. This makes it much more unusual and

This makes it much more unusual and dramatic than it would otherwise be.

dramatic than it would otherwise be. >> Yeah, exactly. because it's it's like

>> Yeah, exactly. because it's it's like Jupiter on the one hand the eclipses are

Jupiter on the one hand the eclipses are magnifying Jupiter's transit through Leo

magnifying Jupiter's transit through Leo and making them more weighty but it's

and making them more weighty but it's also creating this instability because

also creating this instability because eclipses are always like pivot points

eclipses are always like pivot points where pivotal events start taking place

where pivotal events start taking place and there's this turn and it's either a

and there's this turn and it's either a turn upwards or it's a turn downwards.

turn upwards or it's a turn downwards. Um, but one of the common things is like

Um, but one of the common things is like sometimes an eclipse will close one door

sometimes an eclipse will close one door suddenly and like end bring to end a

suddenly and like end bring to end a series of events or a chapter of your

series of events or a chapter of your life in the Leo sector of your chart.

life in the Leo sector of your chart. But then by closing that door, it'll

But then by closing that door, it'll open another door. But at first, usually

open another door. But at first, usually when it when that happens, it's not

when it when that happens, it's not obvious that you're like starting out a

obvious that you're like starting out a new thing or a new chapter of your life

new thing or a new chapter of your life that's going to be monumentally

that's going to be monumentally important. It's only the fact that an

important. It's only the fact that an eclipse is coinciding with it that that

eclipse is coinciding with it that that clues you in that some seeds have been

clues you in that some seeds have been planted that are going to grow and

planted that are going to grow and flourish in the future. Yeah. And that's

flourish in the future. Yeah. And that's that's a big part of navigating eclipses

that's a big part of navigating eclipses is remembering that uh the the language

is remembering that uh the the language of obscurity and shadow is the uh is is

of obscurity and shadow is the uh is is the stuff eclipses are made of. And that

the stuff eclipses are made of. And that being able to see things ex for what

being able to see things ex for what they are extremely clearly is often

they are extremely clearly is often quite difficult during eclipse season.

quite difficult during eclipse season. Though in retrospect you may see that

Though in retrospect you may see that something uh uh something tremendous

something uh uh something tremendous began or that the seeds of its

began or that the seeds of its destruction were clearly sewn during

destruction were clearly sewn during that time. Occasionally you just get a

that time. Occasionally you just get a big dramatic thing where it's obvious at

big dramatic thing where it's obvious at the time. But again like the eclipses

the time. But again like the eclipses are are literally phenomenons of

are are literally phenomenons of obscuration. And so sometimes it can be

obscuration. And so sometimes it can be really tricky uh to tell what's going

really tricky uh to tell what's going on. And so this is our our uh first

on. And so this is our our uh first eclipse in Leo. We're going to have more

eclipse in Leo. We're going to have more Leo eclipses. And this is uh it's

Leo eclipses. And this is uh it's followed by our last eclipse in Pisces.

followed by our last eclipse in Pisces. Yeah, I love that. Uh for us, so to just

Yeah, I love that. Uh for us, so to just to get the dates of eclipse season for

to get the dates of eclipse season for the audio listeners, it's like eclipse

the audio listeners, it's like eclipse season starts somewhere around August

season starts somewhere around August 5th. It peaks with that first eclipse

5th. It peaks with that first eclipse around August 12th in Leo. Then we get

around August 12th in Leo. Then we get the two week intense period where the

the two week intense period where the most chaotic and monumental events take

most chaotic and monumental events take place until you hit August 27th when the

place until you hit August 27th when the lunar eclipse in Pisces takes place. And

lunar eclipse in Pisces takes place. And then there's a drop off that goes into

then there's a drop off that goes into the first week of September when things

the first week of September when things will probably wrap up and calm down

will probably wrap up and calm down around September 4th at least in terms

around September 4th at least in terms of what eclipse season is signifying.

of what eclipse season is signifying. >> Yeah. And the some other things agree

>> Yeah. And the some other things agree with that time frame as well.

with that time frame as well. >> Yeah. So here's the

>> Yeah. So here's the >> Go ahead.

>> Go ahead. >> Just cuz you mentioned it. Here's the um

>> Just cuz you mentioned it. Here's the um that longer timeline in terms of the

that longer timeline in terms of the eclipse series in Aquarius and Leo that

eclipse series in Aquarius and Leo that this is kicking off. And so it's going

this is kicking off. And so it's going to start a series of events in February

to start a series of events in February and August of this year that then are

and August of this year that then are going to keep coming up in six-month

going to keep coming up in six-month increments in our life and and um

increments in our life and and um leading to further beginnings and

leading to further beginnings and endings starting from this point August

endings starting from this point August of 2026 and then you jump to like

of 2026 and then you jump to like February of 2027 and then August of 2027

February of 2027 and then August of 2027 and then eventually finally January of

and then eventually finally January of 2020

2020 uh 8 I believe and then that will be the

uh 8 I believe and then that will be the the wrapping up of that entire sequence.

the wrapping up of that entire sequence. >> Yeah. So, uh, hold on to your Leo and

>> Yeah. So, uh, hold on to your Leo and Aquarius placements.

>> Yeah. Um, and then the last thing was the um, the wrapping of that series.

the um, the wrapping of that series. What was crazy that you and I were

What was crazy that you and I were surprised to f I was surprised to find

surprised to f I was surprised to find when I made was making these graphics

when I made was making these graphics with Paige was that there had only been

with Paige was that there had only been one solar eclipse in the sign of Virgo

one solar eclipse in the sign of Virgo and Pisces during this entire time.

and Pisces during this entire time. >> Yeah, it's all lunarclipses.

>> Yeah, it's all lunarclipses. >> Yeah. It's like we sort of knew that

>> Yeah. It's like we sort of knew that subconsciously, but it wasn't until like

subconsciously, but it wasn't until like putting it on this timeline that you

putting it on this timeline that you could really see the impact of that and

could really see the impact of that and how, you know, our first eclipse is a

how, you know, our first eclipse is a lunar eclipse in Pisces in September of

lunar eclipse in Pisces in September of 2024.

2024. And like all of the rest of them are

And like all of the rest of them are lunarclipses in that series between

lunarclipses in that series between Pisces and Virgo except for that one

Pisces and Virgo except for that one crazy solar eclipse that happened in

crazy solar eclipse that happened in September of 2025. And that was during

September of 2025. And that was during that crazy month where like the Charlie

that crazy month where like the Charlie Kirk assassination take took place near

Kirk assassination take took place near the Pisces eclipse early in the month

the Pisces eclipse early in the month and the Uranus station, the first Uranus

and the Uranus station, the first Uranus station and then there was like that

station and then there was like that funeral that happened to fall exactly on

funeral that happened to fall exactly on the eclipse

the eclipse >> on the 21st of September.

>> on the 21st of September. Yeah. So that eclipse series will is

Yeah. So that eclipse series will is starting to wind down by this point in

starting to wind down by this point in August of 2028 with the last eclipse in

August of 2028 with the last eclipse in Pisces as we said and then finally the

Pisces as we said and then finally the last eclipse 6 months later in Virgo in

last eclipse 6 months later in Virgo in February of 2027

February of 2027 um which itself actually is going to be

um which itself actually is going to be a wild wild eclipse um the eclipse

a wild wild eclipse um the eclipse season at the beginning of 2027 because

season at the beginning of 2027 because that's the one that happens during the

that's the one that happens during the Mars retrograde in Virgo and the eclipse

Mars retrograde in Virgo and the eclipse like happens I think in Virgo

like happens I think in Virgo right when Mars has just squared Uranus.

right when Mars has just squared Uranus. Um, and that's

Um, and that's >> within 2°. We want to save that as the

>> within 2°. We want to save that as the teaser at the end of December.

teaser at the end of December. >> Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Don't get ahead.

>> Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Don't get ahead. Um, all right. So, anything else about

Um, all right. So, anything else about August?

August? >> No. Um, I think that's good. Um, and as

>> No. Um, I think that's good. Um, and as we get into September, um, on the first

we get into September, um, on the first day of September, that Mars Saturn, um,

day of September, that Mars Saturn, um, square actually perfects, which we don't

square actually perfects, which we don't love, but we do like that for the next

love, but we do like that for the next couple weeks, the Mars Saturn square

couple weeks, the Mars Saturn square will be weakening. And so that is um

will be weakening. And so that is um that is a peak of uh, a peak of a a

that is a peak of uh, a peak of a a pretty nasty configuration,

pretty nasty configuration, but then it declines. And so just as

but then it declines. And so just as some of the um like the eclipse uh uh uh

some of the um like the eclipse uh uh uh the eclipse the power of the eclipses is

the eclipse the power of the eclipses is beginning to wayne down as we get

beginning to wayne down as we get further from the second eclipse. We uh

further from the second eclipse. We uh we also uh we also start we also start

we also uh we also start we also start to see the Mars Saturn square declining

to see the Mars Saturn square declining in power which is good. Um, and we um

in power which is good. Um, and we um and we're what we're one of the things

and we're what we're one of the things that we're left with is a pretty good

that we're left with is a pretty good looking Mercury in Virgo, which is um

looking Mercury in Virgo, which is um moving back into visibility. It's

moving back into visibility. It's Mercury in the place um that it knows

Mercury in the place um that it knows how to do its thing best. Um it's uh and

how to do its thing best. Um it's uh and Mercury, while not a bonific, when

Mercury, while not a bonific, when Mercury's in good condition, it's really

Mercury's in good condition, it's really good for at least figuring out your way

good for at least figuring out your way through and around.

through and around. um difficult things, right? It's it's

um difficult things, right? It's it's not a balm of restoration, but Mercury

not a balm of restoration, but Mercury provides a lot of clever fixes and

provides a lot of clever fixes and workarounds and ways to deal ways to

workarounds and ways to deal ways to make things workable and thinkable. Um

make things workable and thinkable. Um and so we like um we like that that

and so we like um we like that that period of Mercury and Virgo which is

period of Mercury and Virgo which is followed um on September 10th by

followed um on September 10th by Mercury's ingress into Libra which is a

Mercury's ingress into Libra which is a somewhat different circumstance as well

somewhat different circumstance as well as Venus's ingress into Scorpio now

as Venus's ingress into Scorpio now getting deep in deep into the the shadow

getting deep in deep into the the shadow of that retrograde to come. Yeah, this

of that retrograde to come. Yeah, this is the important part of September for

is the important part of September for me is that Uranus stations retrograde at

me is that Uranus stations retrograde at 5 degrees of Gemini in September 10th

5 degrees of Gemini in September 10th and the same day Venus ingresses into

and the same day Venus ingresses into Scorpio which is the sign that Venus

Scorpio which is the sign that Venus will go retrograde in. So this Uranus

will go retrograde in. So this Uranus station is really important. It's like

station is really important. It's like the second retrograde station in Gemini.

the second retrograde station in Gemini. And the first one occurred one year

And the first one occurred one year earlier um during September of 2025

earlier um during September of 2025 during that crazy eclipse season where

during that crazy eclipse season where there was the assassination that took

there was the assassination that took place and then just a huge amount of

place and then just a huge amount of polarization occurred in the country at

polarization occurred in the country at that time as well as like crackdowns on

that time as well as like crackdowns on free speech and other things like that.

free speech and other things like that. So, this being the second station is

So, this being the second station is invoking some of that polarization again

invoking some of that polarization again to me in terms of Uranus stationing

to me in terms of Uranus stationing there in Gemini and how that's tied in

there in Gemini and how that's tied in with the the Uranus return of the United

with the the Uranus return of the United States. And then at the same time, we're

States. And then at the same time, we're seeing the onset of Venus and Scorpio

seeing the onset of Venus and Scorpio and the retrograde that's starting to

and the retrograde that's starting to bring events from the past back into the

bring events from the past back into the present, but it's initially going to do

present, but it's initially going to do that in a way that um has some some

that in a way that um has some some tension and some problems associated

tension and some problems associated with it. Yeah. And I think that it's

with it. Yeah. And I think that it's going to be that that entry of Venus

going to be that that entry of Venus into Scorpio that makes it really clear

into Scorpio that makes it really clear that there are some things that are

that there are some things that are going to need to be sorted out. I think

going to need to be sorted out. I think we might be able to pretend that things

we might be able to pretend that things are going to be okay um for the earlier

are going to be okay um for the earlier part of Venus's shadow in Libra,

part of Venus's shadow in Libra, especially once it clears the opposition

especially once it clears the opposition with Saturn. But like it's going to be

with Saturn. But like it's going to be pretty clear there's there's there's

pretty clear there's there's there's something fishy here. There are things

something fishy here. There are things to be they're going to need to get uh

to be they're going to need to get uh dredged up before they can get sorted

dredged up before they can get sorted out.

out. >> Yeah. And speaking of dredging things

>> Yeah. And speaking of dredging things up, Venus is not the only planet that

up, Venus is not the only planet that moves into its retrograde sign, but by

moves into its retrograde sign, but by the end of the month, Mars in the final

the end of the month, Mars in the final days of September moves into Leo, which

days of September moves into Leo, which is one of the sign is the the sign that

is one of the sign is the the sign that it will retrograde back into. So

it will retrograde back into. So functionally, we also start getting Mars

functionally, we also start getting Mars um starting to look backwards and

um starting to look backwards and starting to slow down in the sky when it

starting to slow down in the sky when it prepares to station retrograde in

prepares to station retrograde in January of 2027, but we're already

January of 2027, but we're already starting the buildup to the Mars

starting the buildup to the Mars retrogrades starting by the end of

retrogrades starting by the end of September. So, both of those planets,

September. So, both of those planets, both Venus and Mars heading into their

both Venus and Mars heading into their their retrogrades at this point is

their retrogrades at this point is starting to make us look back to the

starting to make us look back to the past, but it's also starting to bring

past, but it's also starting to bring some some kind of ghosts from the past

some some kind of ghosts from the past coming back into the present.

coming back into the present. And we have and it's the beginning of

And we have and it's the beginning of the Mars Jupiter south node co-presence.

the Mars Jupiter south node co-presence. >> Yes.

>> Yes. >> And um that like that co-presence you

>> And um that like that co-presence you know occurs for uh the we have that

know occurs for uh the we have that co-presence for a lot of the fourth

co-presence for a lot of the fourth quarter and then we have it again in

quarter and then we have it again in 2027 but we have an exact conjunction of

2027 but we have an exact conjunction of Mars, Jupiter and the south node all

Mars, Jupiter and the south node all three in the same degree later on this

three in the same degree later on this quarter.

quarter. Right. So, um,

Right. So, um, >> so September is quickly becoming October

>> so September is quickly becoming October and where Venus's station awaits,

and where Venus's station awaits, Venus's somewhat dread station.

Venus's somewhat dread station. >> Yeah. So, here's the calendar for

>> Yeah. So, here's the calendar for October where we can see all this stuff

October where we can see all this stuff taking place. And October is really one

taking place. And October is really one of my least favorite months of 2026 is

of my least favorite months of 2026 is really rough because of the Venus

really rough because of the Venus retrograde and how it's tied in with all

retrograde and how it's tied in with all of these tough configurations where

of these tough configurations where Venus is stationing retrograde in

Venus is stationing retrograde in Scorpio at the same time that like

Scorpio at the same time that like Mercury squaring Mars and Mars is

Mercury squaring Mars and Mars is opposing Pluto and both of those are

opposing Pluto and both of those are squaring Venus. So it's like there's

squaring Venus. So it's like there's some Venus retrogrades that

some Venus retrogrades that theoretically not the like practically

theoretically not the like practically start off better and are like a pleasant

start off better and are like a pleasant jaunt down memory lane or something like

jaunt down memory lane or something like that. This is not what this one is. This

that. This is not what this one is. This one is is more of a rough trip down

one is is more of a rough trip down memory lane.

memory lane. >> Yeah. And we have um Mercury's kind of

>> Yeah. And we have um Mercury's kind of uh shadowing uh or paralleling Venus in

uh shadowing uh or paralleling Venus in a lot of ways throughout um this

a lot of ways throughout um this retrograde cuz Mercury makes the same

retrograde cuz Mercury makes the same square to Pluto and square to Mars that

square to Pluto and square to Mars that then Venus makes shortly thereafter. and

then Venus makes shortly thereafter. and Mercury will station retrograde in

Mercury will station retrograde in Scorpio um shortly after Venus's station

Scorpio um shortly after Venus's station retrograde in Scorpio. Um but the main

retrograde in Scorpio. Um but the main thing is the uh is Venus's retrograde

thing is the uh is Venus's retrograde being square Mars Pluto um which is um a

being square Mars Pluto um which is um a tricky thing in and of itself even if

tricky thing in and of itself even if there weren't a Venus retrograde

there weren't a Venus retrograde involved like we would be talking about

involved like we would be talking about Mars Pluto um if there's nothing else

Mars Pluto um if there's nothing else going on which is um

going on which is um Mars Pluto gives us um sometimes what

Mars Pluto gives us um sometimes what seem like senseless acts of violence and

seem like senseless acts of violence and terror. Um, on a more internal level, it

terror. Um, on a more internal level, it also brings up power dynamics, makes

also brings up power dynamics, makes people paranoid, sometimes justifiably,

people paranoid, sometimes justifiably, sometimes unjustifiably.

sometimes unjustifiably. Um, it's it's tense and secretive and

Um, it's it's tense and secretive and um, and sometimes points to um, uh, how

um, and sometimes points to um, uh, how should we say controlling or quietly

should we say controlling or quietly coercive dynamics. And so that in just

coercive dynamics. And so that in just that by itself and then being connected

that by itself and then being connected to both Mercury and especially the Venus

to both Mercury and especially the Venus Venus's retrograde station in first

Venus's retrograde station in first couple weeks going backward u makes for

couple weeks going backward u makes for a raw and

a raw and quite upsetting quite potentially quite

quite upsetting quite potentially quite upsetting um set of skies for the first

upsetting um set of skies for the first uh I don't know half of October.

uh I don't know half of October. Yeah, Mars and Pluto are both like two

Yeah, Mars and Pluto are both like two of the traditional rulers of the

of the traditional rulers of the underworld with Pluto

underworld with Pluto um/Hades for example being the ruler in

um/Hades for example being the ruler in like Greo Roman mythology but Mars was

like Greo Roman mythology but Mars was uh connected with the underworld and

uh connected with the underworld and with death in the Mesopotamian tradition

with death in the Mesopotamian tradition and we kind of lost that with the Greco

and we kind of lost that with the Greco Roman tradition that associated with the

Roman tradition that associated with the god of war. But one of the things we saw

god of war. But one of the things we saw the last time Mars and Pluto were

the last time Mars and Pluto were opposed coming out of the retrograde

opposed coming out of the retrograde earlier this year was um the death of

earlier this year was um the death of the pope and I think the exact funeral

the pope and I think the exact funeral ended up being like the day or very

ended up being like the day or very close to the Mars Pluto opposition and

close to the Mars Pluto opposition and there's all these world leaders that

there's all these world leaders that were like flying in from around the

were like flying in from around the world to attend this this funeral of

world to attend this this funeral of this world figure.

this world figure. >> Yeah. Yeah. And that's a good point that

>> Yeah. Yeah. And that's a good point that they both agree on lethality.

they both agree on lethality. >> Yeah. And Mars itself of course is the

>> Yeah. And Mars itself of course is the planet of war and violence. But when you

planet of war and violence. But when you put it together with Pluto, Pluto

put it together with Pluto, Pluto amplifies whatever it touches. So you

amplifies whatever it touches. So you get extreme acts of of violence or of

get extreme acts of of violence or of whatever Mars is signifying.

whatever Mars is signifying. Um, so that's not great. And then I

Um, so that's not great. And then I wanted to correct something I said in

wanted to correct something I said in the horoscopes because Lisa Lisa made

the horoscopes because Lisa Lisa made this point which is a really good point

this point which is a really good point which is like usually during a Venus

which is like usually during a Venus retrograde people with night charts will

retrograde people with night charts will sometimes experience that transit as

sometimes experience that transit as being like an extended positive transit

being like an extended positive transit and some good things will happen.

and some good things will happen. In the first part of this Venus

In the first part of this Venus retrograde though, I think that's going

retrograde though, I think that's going to be a tough transit for a lot of

to be a tough transit for a lot of people. And even if some positive things

people. And even if some positive things come out of it in the long term,

come out of it in the long term, especially at the direct station, we all

especially at the direct station, we all may experience the opening part of this

may experience the opening part of this retrograde in October as being rocky at

retrograde in October as being rocky at best. So, I did want to put that as a

best. So, I did want to put that as a little little addition or correction to

little little addition or correction to some of the the horoscope predictions.

some of the the horoscope predictions. >> Yeah, it's a rough one.

>> Yeah, it's a rough one. >> Going to be a lot of raw feelings and

>> Going to be a lot of raw feelings and yeah, um it's it's a rough month. Um,

yeah, um it's it's a rough month. Um, there are a couple I I don't need I I'm

there are a couple I I don't need I I'm going to not name other things that are

going to not name other things that are that add to the difficulty, but there

that add to the difficulty, but there there it is a rough month. Um, I will

there it is a rough month. Um, I will say that I I think it gets noticeably

say that I I think it gets noticeably better once we get Venus's regress into

better once we get Venus's regress into Libra. Um, once Venus once Venus has

Libra. Um, once Venus once Venus has cleared the square with Mars and then

cleared the square with Mars and then the square with Pluto, it it becomes

the square with Pluto, it it becomes something closer to a normalish Venus

something closer to a normalish Venus retrograde rather than the extra hard

retrograde rather than the extra hard chaos mode version,

chaos mode version, right?

right? Yeah. So we get um later in October it's

Yeah. So we get um later in October it's like we get the Venus Kazmi in Scorpio

like we get the Venus Kazmi in Scorpio which is at 0 degrees of Scorpio but we

which is at 0 degrees of Scorpio but we also get um Mercury stationing

also get um Mercury stationing retrograde in Scorpio for the beginning

retrograde in Scorpio for the beginning of our third and final Mercury

of our third and final Mercury retrograde which curiously all of the

retrograde which curiously all of the Mercury retrogrades this year take place

Mercury retrogrades this year take place entirely in water signs which is a

entirely in water signs which is a really interesting little uh factoid

really interesting little uh factoid about the Mercury retrogrades this year

about the Mercury retrogrades this year and this one for some reason starts

and this one for some reason starts working in tandem with the Venus

working in tandem with the Venus retrograde from late October forward

retrograde from late October forward because Mercury will station direct the

because Mercury will station direct the same day as Venus on November 13th. Um

same day as Venus on November 13th. Um yeah.

yeah. >> Yeah.

>> Yeah. >> Can we go to go to November?

>> Can we go to go to November? >> Yeah, let's go to November. And so one

>> Yeah, let's go to November. And so one really nice thing um about November is

really nice thing um about November is that as Venus is um continuing to work

that as Venus is um continuing to work backward through Libra um Venus actually

backward through Libra um Venus actually gets to make multiple sex tiles to

gets to make multiple sex tiles to Jupiter

Jupiter and Mars but um more uh two two aspects

and Mars but um more uh two two aspects with Jupiter only one with Mars. And so

with Jupiter only one with Mars. And so we have Venus having retreated to uh a

we have Venus having retreated to uh a place of power uh Libra for Venus and

place of power uh Libra for Venus and also getting to make a nice supportive

also getting to make a nice supportive aspect from Jupiter. Jupiter's got

aspect from Jupiter. Jupiter's got problems, but Jupiter is um nonetheless

problems, but Jupiter is um nonetheless a bonific and will will provide some

a bonific and will will provide some perspective support, a little little

perspective support, a little little cushion, little little bounce um a

cushion, little little bounce um a little something not uh hard or sharp or

little something not uh hard or sharp or cruel um which um at this point in the

cruel um which um at this point in the Venus retrograde will probably all need.

Venus retrograde will probably all need. And so the this end like the the the

And so the this end like the the the second um the second half second halfish

second um the second half second halfish of the Venus retrograde um is not nearly

of the Venus retrograde um is not nearly as cruel as the first half.

as cruel as the first half. It's really just astounding how both

It's really just astounding how both Venus and Mercury station direct at the

Venus and Mercury station direct at the same time. And what a huge

same time. And what a huge feeling of forward movement that's going

feeling of forward movement that's going to be like they'll be slow to get going

to be like they'll be slow to get going again. So there'll still be some delays

again. So there'll still be some delays and some slowness coming out of both the

and some slowness coming out of both the Mercury and Venus retrograde, but just

Mercury and Venus retrograde, but just to have both of them turn direct on the

to have both of them turn direct on the same day. And to make that turn, I think

same day. And to make that turn, I think is going to be felt by all of us as a

is going to be felt by all of us as a sudden turn in terms of the we've all

sudden turn in terms of the we've all been looking backwards. And there's

been looking backwards. And there's something that's been pushing us towards

something that's been pushing us towards the past for weeks up to this point. Uh

the past for weeks up to this point. Uh for like 40 days for Venus and and 3

for like 40 days for Venus and and 3 weeks for Mercury, but then all of a

weeks for Mercury, but then all of a sudden we all start looking forward

sudden we all start looking forward again to something that's on the horizon

again to something that's on the horizon at this point by November 13th.

at this point by November 13th. >> Yeah. Yeah. It's really nice. Um it's

>> Yeah. Yeah. It's really nice. Um it's really nice to have them both turn the

really nice to have them both turn the same day. Um, and then in intri

same day. Um, and then in intri intriguingly enough, it's just a few

intriguingly enough, it's just a few days later that we have the conjunction

days later that we have the conjunction of Mars and Jupiter and the South Node,

of Mars and Jupiter and the South Node, the mean calculation at least, um, all

the mean calculation at least, um, all at 25 Leo,

at 25 Leo, >> right? Which is probably going to mean a

>> right? Which is probably going to mean a number of different things to a number

number of different things to a number of different charts. There are there's a

of different charts. There are there's a lot of different things you can get out

lot of different things you can get out of that. Some people will get more Mars

of that. Some people will get more Mars Jupiter where it's like oh a huge surge

Jupiter where it's like oh a huge surge of confidence in going forward with

of confidence in going forward with something. Um some people might get more

something. Um some people might get more of the south node Mars which can um

of the south node Mars which can um which can be uh how should we say a

which can be uh how should we say a problem a Marshall problem with a

problem a Marshall problem with a mysterious origin like and 20 other

mysterious origin like and 20 other variants.

variants. Um, and what's interesting is that like

Um, and what's interesting is that like that Mars Jupiter K2 or Mars Jupiter

that Mars Jupiter K2 or Mars Jupiter Tail of the Dragon um is sort of I I

Tail of the Dragon um is sort of I I feel like it's promising something in

feel like it's promising something in the future from the Mars retrograde

the future from the Mars retrograde that's upcoming. It will probably bring

that's upcoming. It will probably bring something itself, but it's also um I

something itself, but it's also um I don't know. I feel like it's very very

don't know. I feel like it's very very haunted by things to come in 2027.

haunted by things to come in 2027. >> Yeah. Um, on the positive side, it's

>> Yeah. Um, on the positive side, it's like there's a big bold like

like there's a big bold like enterprising energy to this Mars Jupiter

enterprising energy to this Mars Jupiter conjunction, which for some people, if

conjunction, which for some people, if it's hitting the chart in a nice way,

it's hitting the chart in a nice way, um, can be about taking bold action and

um, can be about taking bold action and being successful or decisiveness that

being successful or decisiveness that leads to a good outcome. Uh, coming into

leads to a good outcome. Uh, coming into a commanding position like a lot of the

a commanding position like a lot of the ancient delineations of Mars Jupiter are

ancient delineations of Mars Jupiter are like generals coming to the forefront or

like generals coming to the forefront or rising to the height of a command

rising to the height of a command structure. uh where you know sometimes

structure. uh where you know sometimes being decisive in especially um a combat

being decisive in especially um a combat context like a military context

context like a military context especially is is really important for

especially is is really important for like a general or something like that

like a general or something like that like um one of the generals in the Civil

like um one of the generals in the Civil War did a terrible job because he would

War did a terrible job because he would never like finish the job. He would

never like finish the job. He would always like wait before taking bold

always like wait before taking bold action and as a result of that like

action and as a result of that like eventually he got fired as a result of

eventually he got fired as a result of never being decisive enough to like win

never being decisive enough to like win the battle or win the war.

the battle or win the war. >> Yeah. Um yeah the Mars Jupiter Martin

>> Yeah. Um yeah the Mars Jupiter Martin Jupiter is excellent for military

Jupiter is excellent for military figures. A number of general number of

figures. A number of general number of famous generals have that combination.

famous generals have that combination. I think George I think George Patton

I think George I think George Patton actually has a south node Mars Jupiter

actually has a south node Mars Jupiter conjunction in Virgo if I'm not

conjunction in Virgo if I'm not mistaken. Um anyway, we don't need to

mistaken. Um anyway, we don't need to talk about patent but um

talk about patent but um >> no I mean that's important in the sense

>> no I mean that's important in the sense that I was going to say anybody with a

that I was going to say anybody with a Mars Jupiter conjunction especially in

Mars Jupiter conjunction especially in Leo is going to come into prominence and

Leo is going to come into prominence and have important events happening in their

have important events happening in their life at this time but especially if you

life at this time but especially if you have like a Mars Jupiter south node

have like a Mars Jupiter south node conjunction then that's going to be very

conjunction then that's going to be very personally important for you and maybe

personally important for you and maybe even more so if it's um in the sign of

even more so if it's um in the sign of Leo or if it was if it was also close to

Leo or if it was if it was also close to Mars stationing retrograde in the Virgo

Mars stationing retrograde in the Virgo Leo series.

Leo series. >> Yeah, it's not that common a

>> Yeah, it's not that common a combination. So, I mean, if you've got

combination. So, I mean, if you've got that and the closer a match to this one,

that and the closer a match to this one, the more of a really significant

the more of a really significant activation it'll be.

activation it'll be. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, those are some of like

>> Yeah. Yeah. So, those are some of like the good things of that. Negative things

the good things of that. Negative things are sometimes on Mars Jupiter, we see

are sometimes on Mars Jupiter, we see like Mars's explosive tendencies being

like Mars's explosive tendencies being magnified by Jupiter. So, there's like a

magnified by Jupiter. So, there's like a big explosion. there can be um the

big explosion. there can be um the shattering of a peace since Jupiter

shattering of a peace since Jupiter usually represents peace and Mars

usually represents peace and Mars represents war. Um and it it's it's hard

represents war. Um and it it's it's hard because it's also like building into the

because it's also like building into the retrograde. So we know that this is not

retrograde. So we know that this is not the last time we're going to see this

the last time we're going to see this conjunction, but it's almost like the

conjunction, but it's almost like the opening of a sequence of things.

opening of a sequence of things. >> Yeah. And whereas the Mars South node

>> Yeah. And whereas the Mars South node combination has a um has a lot of things

combination has a um has a lot of things that are not glorious. Um there are a

that are not glorious. Um there are a lot of uh as I was doing research on

lot of uh as I was doing research on this uh last month um I found there are

this uh last month um I found there are a number of assassinations that are um

a number of assassinations that are um Mars Southnode combinations like the the

Mars Southnode combinations like the the infamous assassination of uh Archduke

infamous assassination of uh Archduke France Ferdinand which kicked off World

France Ferdinand which kicked off World War I um was a Mars K2. Um, and so yeah,

War I um was a Mars K2. Um, and so yeah, it it's a strange combination and it

it it's a strange combination and it will work differently for different

will work differently for different people, but the like big and bold is

people, but the like big and bold is we're going to get a lot there'll be a

we're going to get a lot there'll be a lot of big and bold. Not everybody gets

lot of big and bold. Not everybody gets big and bold, but it will be it'll be on

big and bold, but it will be it'll be on the menu. Um, and of course big and bold

the menu. Um, and of course big and bold can easily um be a big pain in the ass

can easily um be a big pain in the ass if someone is being big and bold at you

if someone is being big and bold at you rather than you are the one biging and

rather than you are the one biging and bolding.

bolding. >> Yeah. big and bold and flashy and like

>> Yeah. big and bold and flashy and like shock and awe are are some of the key

shock and awe are are some of the key words for that. Um but after that later

words for that. Um but after that later in the month Mars moves into Virgo. So

in the month Mars moves into Virgo. So it moves into the sign it will

it moves into the sign it will retrograde in and then at the same time

retrograde in and then at the same time Uranus makes its second exact trine with

Uranus makes its second exact trine with Pluto that's happening this year which

Pluto that's happening this year which again I'm just still associating with

again I'm just still associating with rapid technological advancement in both

rapid technological advancement in both the Gemini sector but also

[Music] the Aquarius sector which um recently

the Aquarius sector which um recently has just been so much about the

has just been so much about the artificial int intelligence explosion

artificial int intelligence explosion over the past few years and there's some

over the past few years and there's some sort of synergy that starts happening

sort of synergy that starts happening between those two areas that reinforces

between those two areas that reinforces and accelerates what each is doing at

and accelerates what each is doing at this time and this is the second major

this time and this is the second major boost of that this year.

boost of that this year. >> Yeah. Right. Well, you put AI in drones,

>> Yeah. Right. Well, you put AI in drones, right? You have the the algorithmically

right? You have the the algorithmically uh uh uh orient algorithmically

uh uh uh orient algorithmically patterned drone swarm or something like

patterned drone swarm or something like that. You can put right you can put the

that. You can put right you can put the Pluto in the Uranus and Aquarius travel

Pluto in the Uranus and Aquarius travel thing,

thing, >> right? Or or in robots in like humanoid

>> right? Or or in robots in like humanoid robots or something like that,

robots or something like that, >> right?

>> right? >> Yeah.

>> Yeah. >> The thing and the thing

>> The thing and the thing >> the thing and the thing the intelligence

>> the thing and the thing the intelligence the intelligence in the machine.

the intelligence in the machine. >> Yeah. Or the um pseudo intelligence. The

>> Yeah. Or the um pseudo intelligence. The uh the thing that's going to fly the

uh the thing that's going to fly the thing around and drive it into stuff and

thing around and drive it into stuff and people. Um and of course that's the

people. Um and of course that's the Uranian part of that is further

Uranian part of that is further exacerbated or comes to the four um with

exacerbated or comes to the four um with Mars's ingress into Virgo because that

Mars's ingress into Virgo because that puts Mars in a square with Uranus um

puts Mars in a square with Uranus um from November 25th um onward for the

from November 25th um onward for the next week until it's perfect

next week until it's perfect >> on what December 4th, December 3rd.

>> on what December 4th, December 3rd. Yeah, that is our opening aspect of

Yeah, that is our opening aspect of December is this Mars Uranus conjunction

December is this Mars Uranus conjunction from three degrees of Virgo to three

from three degrees of Virgo to three degrees of Gemini. And that's such a

degrees of Gemini. And that's such a crucial aspect because when I was

crucial aspect because when I was researching the um civil war in World

researching the um civil war in World War II, both of those had a a Mars

War II, both of those had a a Mars retrograde in Gemini. So that it really

retrograde in Gemini. So that it really exacerbated the Mars Uranus conjunction

exacerbated the Mars Uranus conjunction basically at that time and that it ended

basically at that time and that it ended up being a crucial turning point in each

up being a crucial turning point in each of those wars. Um in the case of the

of those wars. Um in the case of the revolutionary war or civil war it was

revolutionary war or civil war it was towards the end of it during the most

towards the end of it during the most destructive phase. Um whereas yeah

destructive phase. Um whereas yeah during the other one it was during a

during the other one it was during a different period. But

different period. But >> what's crucial about this is that this

>> what's crucial about this is that this is going to happen three times. So this

is going to happen three times. So this is the first of three squares between

is the first of three squares between Mars and Uranus. And the one that

Mars and Uranus. And the one that happens in in early 2027 when Mars is

happens in in early 2027 when Mars is retrograde and then there's an eclipse

retrograde and then there's an eclipse there in early Virgo is going to be

there in early Virgo is going to be incredibly decisive and important but

incredibly decisive and important but potentially destructive turning point.

potentially destructive turning point. Let me just animate that so you can see.

Let me just animate that so you can see. So this is the first Mars Uranus square

So this is the first Mars Uranus square in early December of 2026. But look at

in early December of 2026. But look at this.

this. I know we're getting into 2027, but it's

I know we're getting into 2027, but it's important context for what we're

important context for what we're building up to at the end of 2026.

building up to at the end of 2026. Here's Mars stationing retrograde around

Here's Mars stationing retrograde around January 10th at 10° of Virgo. And then

January 10th at 10° of Virgo. And then Mars starts moving backwards back

Mars starts moving backwards back towards Uranus for a second square.

towards Uranus for a second square. And then it completes that square

And then it completes that square around here in February of 2027

around here in February of 2027 uh from one degree of Virgo while

uh from one degree of Virgo while retrograde to one degree of Gemini. And

retrograde to one degree of Gemini. And then look at the moon. The moon comes

then look at the moon. The moon comes up, hits a full moon at the beginning of

up, hits a full moon at the beginning of Virgo, but it's it's next to the nodes.

Virgo, but it's it's next to the nodes. So it's also an eclipse. So there's the

So it's also an eclipse. So there's the last Virgo eclipse takes place at this

last Virgo eclipse takes place at this time which just magnifies the Mars

time which just magnifies the Mars retrograde which is squaring Uranus. Um

retrograde which is squaring Uranus. Um and that's that's what all this Mars

and that's that's what all this Mars retrograde buildup and the shadow period

retrograde buildup and the shadow period is doing at the end of 2027 is it's

is doing at the end of 2027 is it's leading us up to this really critical

leading us up to this really critical event that takes place in early 2027.

event that takes place in early 2027. >> Yeah. and the um you know both you and I

>> Yeah. and the um you know both you and I when we uh both you and I looked at this

when we uh both you and I looked at this year and then looked at December and it

year and then looked at December and it ends just before this giant thing gets

ends just before this giant thing gets moving right like Mars is not quite

moving right like Mars is not quite retrograde it is so deep in the shadow

retrograde it is so deep in the shadow it's been doing miss it's been doing

it's been doing miss it's been doing some very suspicious things with Jupiter

some very suspicious things with Jupiter and the south node it's squared Uranus

and the south node it's squared Uranus and it's about to do all of it again and

and it's about to do all of it again and gets spotlighted by an eclipse um right

gets spotlighted by an eclipse um right right uh right right at the heart of its

right uh right right at the heart of its retrograde uh journey. And so 2026

retrograde uh journey. And so 2026 ends with um how should we say like ends

ends with um how should we say like ends with things about to heat up or uh

with things about to heat up or uh heating up to what will be I don't know

heating up to what will be I don't know um very intense

um very intense um in in the first quarter of 2027.

um in in the first quarter of 2027. Yeah, absolutely. And this this Mars

Yeah, absolutely. And this this Mars this first Mars Uranus square on

this first Mars Uranus square on December 1st is exact is incredibly

December 1st is exact is incredibly crucial with respect to that because

crucial with respect to that because it's it's one of those things that'll

it's it's one of those things that'll feel big at the time and but and it'll

feel big at the time and but and it'll seem like a one-off event, but then

seem like a one-off event, but then it'll actually be part of a series of

it'll actually be part of a series of events that'll unfold over the next six

events that'll unfold over the next six months.

months. So um other things happening in December

So um other things happening in December that are important to mention are Saturn

that are important to mention are Saturn stations direct on December 10th and

stations direct on December 10th and then 2 days later Neptune stations

then 2 days later Neptune stations direct on December 12th. So this is that

direct on December 12th. So this is that third and final activation of the Saturn

third and final activation of the Saturn Neptune conjunction that we've had at

Neptune conjunction that we've had at least two others of earlier in the year.

least two others of earlier in the year. First the exact conjunction in February.

First the exact conjunction in February. Then we have the stations in July, but

Then we have the stations in July, but at this point when they station direct,

at this point when they station direct, they're only 6° away from each other. So

they're only 6° away from each other. So we kind of have this re-engagement of

we kind of have this re-engagement of the Saturn Neptune conjunction and the

the Saturn Neptune conjunction and the reality distortion field taking place at

reality distortion field taking place at this time that's making it hard to tell

this time that's making it hard to tell the difference between what's real

the difference between what's real versus what's not and what's true versus

versus what's not and what's true versus what's false. What is, you know,

what's false. What is, you know, digitally altered versus what's um a

digitally altered versus what's um a hard fact in in the world. And some of

hard fact in in the world. And some of the things with like coverups and

the things with like coverups and different things like that are probably

different things like that are probably again becoming quite prominent at this

again becoming quite prominent at this time.

time. >> Yeah. Um coverups, illusion, um yeah,

>> Yeah. Um coverups, illusion, um yeah, all of uh uh moral panics, uh all

all of uh uh moral panics, uh all dissolutions and um sudden collapses.

dissolutions and um sudden collapses. It's uh it's all on the table. and also

It's uh it's all on the table. and also um ideological

um ideological or people aspiring to higher ideals and

or people aspiring to higher ideals and aspiring to bring that into tangible

aspiring to bring that into tangible form for some reason which can be a

form for some reason which can be a positive side of things.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Um

Um >> and so in um in the middle of December,

>> and so in um in the middle of December, Venus finally

Venus finally shadow. So they um like they have the um

shadow. So they um like they have the um Venus has dug her way out of the

Venus has dug her way out of the underworld um by the time we get to the

underworld um by the time we get to the year's close just in time uh for Mars to

year's close just in time uh for Mars to begin

begin his uh his uh his reign as Red King of

his uh his uh his reign as Red King of Midnight.

Midnight. >> Right. That's a good point. So, Venus

>> Right. That's a good point. So, Venus exits her shadow at 8° of Scorpio on

exits her shadow at 8° of Scorpio on December 15th, but then at the beginning

December 15th, but then at the beginning of January, January 7th, finally departs

of January, January 7th, finally departs from Scorpio and moves into into

from Scorpio and moves into into Sagittarius and completes the entire

Sagittarius and completes the entire sequence.

sequence. >> Yeah. And so, we've got this this giant

>> Yeah. And so, we've got this this giant Mars story that's about to

Mars story that's about to um well about to get loud just as the

um well about to get loud just as the year ends. Like, we've gotten pieces of

year ends. Like, we've gotten pieces of it. We've done basically the first

it. We've done basically the first third, right? Mars has um spent time in

third, right? Mars has um spent time in Leo with Jupiter and the South Node,

Leo with Jupiter and the South Node, which it'll do again. Uh it's squared UR

which it'll do again. Uh it's squared UR it's entered Virgo and and squared

it's entered Virgo and and squared Uranus, which it'll do it again. Um

Uranus, which it'll do it again. Um we're onethird of the way into this Mars

we're onethird of the way into this Mars story, but the loudest part and the most

story, but the loudest part and the most chaotic part is just over the boundary

chaotic part is just over the boundary into 2027.

into 2027. >> Yeah, absolutely.

>> Yeah, absolutely. Um, so

Um, so you know in world events that's tough

you know in world events that's tough because the Venus retrograde almost

because the Venus retrograde almost seems like a breakdown sometimes in

seems like a breakdown sometimes in um in what is it called when countries

um in what is it called when countries are like trying to form alliances or

are like trying to form alliances or have diplomatic negotiations. It's like

have diplomatic negotiations. It's like a breakdown in diplomatic talks or

a breakdown in diplomatic talks or something like that.

something like that. >> Yeah. Al although the the two sex tiles

>> Yeah. Al although the the two sex tiles between Venus um and Libra uh are kind

between Venus um and Libra uh are kind of nice there. Venus snuck in another

of nice there. Venus snuck in another sex tile to Jupiter at the very end of

sex tile to Jupiter at the very end of November after the direct station. So

November after the direct station. So there is there is some

there is there is some restoration of relationships towards the

restoration of relationships towards the end of Venus's retrograde or after

end of Venus's retrograde or after Venus's retrograde. Um, but uh is it

Venus's retrograde. Um, but uh is it enough to offset the Mars configuration

enough to offset the Mars configuration after Mars configuration after Mars

after Mars configuration after Mars configuration? Almost certainly not, but

configuration? Almost certainly not, but better to have um better to have some

better to have um better to have some help from the benefits than none at all.

help from the benefits than none at all. >> Yeah. Yeah. the little light aspects

>> Yeah. Yeah. the little light aspects between Venus and Jupiter at different

between Venus and Jupiter at different points of the year keep showing up as

points of the year keep showing up as little helpers even during some of our

little helpers even during some of our most difficult as difficult aspects of

most difficult as difficult aspects of other planets. And it's nice that there

other planets. And it's nice that there will be helpers and healers and

will be helpers and healers and sometimes silver linings that are

sometimes silver linings that are attempting to offset things even during

attempting to offset things even during the the troubled times.

the the troubled times. Yeah, it can um it can be very

Yeah, it can um it can be very restorative just to have something go

restorative just to have something go right in the middle of everything else

right in the middle of everything else going wrong.

going wrong. >> Yeah, absolutely.

>> Yeah, absolutely. >> Just a little something, right? It's

>> Just a little something, right? It's like, but this is actually not only just

like, but this is actually not only just fine, this is actually going great. And

fine, this is actually going great. And it doesn't doesn't mean that there

it doesn't doesn't mean that there aren't those other troubles, but it

aren't those other troubles, but it helps keep the the mind uh the the mind

helps keep the the mind uh the the mind in balance and capable of dealing with

in balance and capable of dealing with um the challenges of foot.

um the challenges of foot. Yeah.

Yeah. Um, and in terms of personal lives, like

Um, and in terms of personal lives, like having Mars and Jupiter there at the

having Mars and Jupiter there at the same time, even if there's this

same time, even if there's this challenging energy that's happening in

challenging energy that's happening in the Leo sectors of our charts, um,

the Leo sectors of our charts, um, there's also that positive expansive

there's also that positive expansive energy in the Leo sector with Jupiter

energy in the Leo sector with Jupiter that's trying to offset things. And in

that's trying to offset things. And in some instances, we'll be we'll be

some instances, we'll be we'll be successful in doing that. So, I like

successful in doing that. So, I like that there are counterbalancing things

that there are counterbalancing things so that it's not all just like purely

so that it's not all just like purely one thing or the other.

one thing or the other. >> No, no, it's not. It's just um it's it's

>> No, no, it's not. It's just um it's it's just a the Mars Jupiter south node thing

just a the Mars Jupiter south node thing is so

is so tricky because it's uh it's a preview of

tricky because it's uh it's a preview of things that happen again. And so it

things that happen again. And so it makes, you know, it makes me a little

makes, you know, it makes me a little nervous. I'm like, well, it looks like

nervous. I'm like, well, it looks like it could mean this, but I know that that

it could mean this, but I know that that story is more complicated than it looks

story is more complicated than it looks like at the time. Um which doesn't mean

like at the time. Um which doesn't mean complicated doesn't mean all bad, right?

complicated doesn't mean all bad, right? But it's it's tricky. It's uh it's a

But it's it's tricky. It's uh it's a configuration I've been staring at for a

configuration I've been staring at for a month and a half now.

month and a half now. >> We'll have to wait until literally this

>> We'll have to wait until literally this year or excuse me this time next year um

year or excuse me this time next year um to to talk about this the Mars story

to to talk about this the Mars story which still will not have fully gotten

which still will not have fully gotten moving quite yet. Although Mars will

moving quite yet. Although Mars will have done a ton of in 2026. It's a

have done a ton of in 2026. It's a pretty Marsheavy year, right? Mars,

pretty Marsheavy year, right? Mars, Pluto, Mars right in the middle. Um,

Pluto, Mars right in the middle. Um, Mars configured to that Virgo eclipse

Mars configured to that Virgo eclipse and with the Mercury retrograde, Mars

and with the Mercury retrograde, Mars Saturn, then Mars Uranus, then Mars

Saturn, then Mars Uranus, then Mars Saturn square and then Mars um Jupiter

Saturn square and then Mars um Jupiter K2 and then Mars Uran like it's there

K2 and then Mars Uran like it's there are a lot Neptune and Aries.

are a lot Neptune and Aries. >> Yeah. like Mar Mars, even though Mars

>> Yeah. like Mar Mars, even though Mars isn't the um like the once every 36

isn't the um like the once every 36 years Saturn Neptune or like the once

years Saturn Neptune or like the once every 84 years um Uranus and Gemini,

every 84 years um Uranus and Gemini, Mars is kind of trying to steal the show

Mars is kind of trying to steal the show or at least stir everybody else up,

or at least stir everybody else up, right? Yeah. Um, even Venus retrograde

right? Yeah. Um, even Venus retrograde in Scorpio is like a Mars ruled sign and

in Scorpio is like a Mars ruled sign and that's one of the reasons why it's the

that's one of the reasons why it's the sign of Venus's antithesis opposite to

sign of Venus's antithesis opposite to Taurus.

Taurus. >> Yeah. Yep. And of course Mars is square

>> Yeah. Yep. And of course Mars is square Venus at the retrograde station and

Venus at the retrograde station and Venus is in Mars's sign. Yeah. There's

Venus is in Mars's sign. Yeah. There's there's a lot of lot of Marshall

there's a lot of lot of Marshall dynamics to navigate this year.

dynamics to navigate this year. >> Yeah. But as you said, I can't believe

>> Yeah. But as you said, I can't believe we end the year of 2026 on such a

we end the year of 2026 on such a cliffhanger, being on the the verge of

cliffhanger, being on the the verge of Mars going retrograde in Virgo. So that

Mars going retrograde in Virgo. So that one year from now, we're going to

one year from now, we're going to obviously have a much clearer picture

obviously have a much clearer picture and we're going to have seen a lot of

and we're going to have seen a lot of the clues of what's leading into this

the clues of what's leading into this because Mars will have tra uh traveled

because Mars will have tra uh traveled all the way through Leo and gotten part

all the way through Leo and gotten part of the way into Virgo. So that um the

of the way into Virgo. So that um the the setting the scene is going to be

the setting the scene is going to be set, but one year from now we're going

set, but one year from now we're going to have to check in again and see what

to have to check in again and see what the the whole cliffhanger is that we're

the the whole cliffhanger is that we're left hanging on at the end of 2026.

left hanging on at the end of 2026. >> Yeah. My suspicion is that we'll be

>> Yeah. My suspicion is that we'll be looking at things at the end of 2026. I

looking at things at the end of 2026. I mean like really there's more like this

mean like really there's more like this is not the this is not the this is not
