As we approach the start of 2023, there is a distinctly different feel compared to the last few years. In March within the space of 16 days we have both Saturn and Pluto changing signs, which is going to greatly shift the tone of 2023. A ๐งต
To say I can't wait for the Gemini New Moon on Monday 30th to officially signify the end of the intense eclipse season, is an understatement. Prepare to feel lighter...especially us poor fixed placements ๐๐พ
The close relationship between Jupiter and Saturn is reflected in their planetary glyphs, which are variations of the same symbols...the cross of matter (Saturn) and the semi circle of soul (Jupiter)
My cat went missing in August & I've been grieving ever since
She appeared in my dreams for the 1st time last week, she looked like a kitten, a bit worse for wear. I woke up sad
Today I got a call to say she'd been found & this evening we were reunited
6H ๐ช year
6H Pluto 29ยฐ
The last time Jupiter transited Gemini was June 2012- June 2013
What was going on for you then? Some of those themes might be revisited when Jupiter enters Gemini, May 25th, 2024
Venus has now moved into Libra, it's domicile ๐ A lovely transit for Libra risings, now's a good time to switch up your hairstyle or upgrade your wardrobe...expect more attention and compliments ๐๐๐พโ
I'll be honest, fixed placements have had it rough these last few years. The eclipses, Saturn in โ + Pluto hovering in & out of those 1st degrees of โ have not been easy
This final eclipse in โ on the 28th is closing that final chapter you've been enduring. Onwards & upwards!
Cardinal placements, it's your time!
Tomorrow the new moon in โ (24ยฐ) 6:31pm GMT, will form a grand cross with Pluto (29ยฐ) & the nodes (29ยฐ), which change signs (true nodes) shortly after at 8pm
A new 18 month karmic chapter is being set in motion in your cardinal houses โจ๐งก
The new moon is in the sign of Cancer at 24ยฐ which will be directly opposing Pluto in Capricorn at 29ยฐ, so this will carry a very transformative energy, especially with the node's changing signs 90 minutes later
A๐งต
Today they'll be a fixed grand cross at:
0ยฐ Jupiter โ
0ยฐ Pluto โ
0ยฐ Mars โ
2ยฐ SNode โ & NNode โ
We have the planet of amplification (Jupiter), planet of shocks (Uranus), planet of change (Pluto), planet of conflict (Mars) & the nodes of karmic destiny all at play here
In 2024, I highly recommend taking advantage of Mars in Capricorn (Jan 4th) and Mars in Aries (Apr 30th)
Mars won't be dignified (domicile/exalted) again until it enters Scorpio Sept 22nd 2025
19th March - Mercury into Aries
20th March - Sun into Aries
21st March - New Moon in Aries
LOL
This time next week Pluto and Mars will have also changed signs...this week is the big one, buckle up and enjoy the ride!! ๐ซ
The nodes have now moved into Aries and Libra signifying the closure of the chapter of the last 18 months. You may experience people, thoughts and situations linked to what you were experiencing around January 2022 that are now culminating and resolving
Saturn in Pisces marks the end of a 2.5 year cycle that began when Saturn entered Aquarius, Dec 2020. Things to note: ๐งต
1. We've experienced two cycles of Saturn being in Domicile in โ & โ
2. Most people born between 1993 & 1996 will be approaching their first Saturn return
Pluto has moved back into โ & will remain there until January 21st 2024
The story of the house Cap rules in your chart began in 2008 & will continue to play out slowly but surely
Placements at late degree โโ & early degree โโ will receive multiple hits, so pay attention ๐งก
Early degree mutables (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces)
You're simultaneously experiencing the Mars (0ยฐ) Saturn (0ยฐ) square, which can be pretty heavy going
Don't feel guilty for protecting your peace

๐๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธoh dear! Thankfully I distinctly remember looking up at the clock as the nurse said 2:24pm...I don't even know why coz I only knew about Sun signs all those years ago. To be clear, I'm referring to my daughter and not by own birth lol
A reminder that Pluto follows a highly elliptical path and therefore spends different lengths of time in each sign:
โ 30-31 years
โ 31 years
โ 27-32 years
โ 25 years
โ 21 years
โ 16 years
โ 13 years
โ 12 years
โ 13-16 years

โ 20 years

Jupiter enters Gemini, May 25th
Jupiter will be in detriment, since it naturally rules opposing sign Sagittarius. The ruling planets, Mercury & Jupiter acquire knowledge in different ways
Mercury zooms in
Jupiter zooms out

This Full Moon in Virgo will give us a little flavour of the upcoming Lunar Eclipse in Pisces later this year in September. The next time we have a Full Moon in Virgo, the South Node will be conjunct. The story begins now, further continued with the New Moon in Pisces, March 10th
I'm seeing a lot of posts saying fixed placements are now free
I just want to hold a moment's silence for anyone with both fixed AND mutable placements in their big three, because they're not quite free ๐ฌ
My Leo stellium rejoices while my 1ยฐ Sag Moon gives the side eye

@kirastrology
piece on solar returns. She says the pace of your year ahead & major events can generally be seen as:
Cardinal rising - within the first 6 mths
Fixed rising - steady throughout
Mutable rising - carry over into the next year
What's your SR rising?? โจ
The new moon tomorrow officially marks the end of eclipse season, how did it go for you and what did you learn about yourself? The house that Scorpio rules is now the life area that may need your attention and could even be connected to the lunar eclipse in Taurus a few weeks ago
Mars has been in Gemini since August 20th 2022
It stationed retrograde Oct 30th 2022
It will FINALLY station direct tomorrow at 20:56pm GMT
It will be 'stuck' at 8ยฐ until January 24th
The next Mars retrograde is in Leo, Dec 6th 2024
The next Gemini Mars is July 20th 2024
If you missed this Venus Cazimi, here's the dates for the next few years, you're welcome lol
4 June 2024 - 14ยฐ Gemini
23 March 2025 - 2ยฐ Aries Rx
6 January 2026 - 16ยฐ Capricorn
March has been a month of big transits! A quick reminder about the role the planets play:
The Sun & Moon = LUMINARIES + your ascendant play a big role in shaping you at your core. The combination of these three signs creates a unique signature of ego, inner emotions & identity
Eclipse season is almost upon us:
1. April 20th - โ 29ยฐ solar eclipse
2. May 5th - โ 14ยฐ lunar eclipse
This marks the start of the โโ series
3. Oct 14th - โ 21ยฐ solar eclipse
4. Oct 28th - โ 5ยฐ lunar eclipse
This marks the end of the โโ series
This final eclipse in โ, officially wraps up the โ โ nodal axis eclipses, that first began with a Lunar Eclipse in โ, Nov 19th, 2021. Itโs likely that whatever was going on for you around that time related to the themes of the house โ rules, will likely be culminating now
3. Saturn in Pisces can be an oxymoron:
Boundaries vs Dissolving
Structure vs Going with the flow
Linear vs Unsystematic
Clarity vs Obscurity
Pessimism vs Optimism
Inhibition vs Freedom
Reality Vs Surrealism
Doing vs Undoing
Immanence vs Transcendence
DEDICATION & DEVOTION
It will take some adjustment, but words can't explain how happy I am. It feels very weird because I'd gotten to the acceptance stage of grief, so now it feels very surreal.
The Full Moon in Virgo is today at 12:40pm GMT, just an hour before Saturn enters Pisces. And as the first full moon with Saturn in Pisces, this gives us a glimpse of what Full Moons in Virgo will feel like for the next 2.5 years! The Virgo Pisces axis can often be about the ๐งต
Saturn moving into Pisces is likely to address greater accountability within the arts and culture sector. We may also see a rise in online fake accounts, as well as more countries legalising drugs.
Has anyone actually managed to escape the hand injuries this Mars in Gemini?
My mom recently had stitches on her wrist after a glass cut (her Sag stellium = very clumsy
In the last few weeks I've had 2 horrific nail injuries and a very vicious plastic paper cut on my finger
The history of the planetary glyphs, a thread ๐งต: Glyphs are made up of ancient symbols which combine to make an image for each planet. The three symbols are: the circle denoting spirit, the semi circle denoting soul and the cross denoting matter
Dec 31st, Jupiter stations direct at 5ยฐ, the same degree of the Lunar Eclipse in Taurus, Oct 28th
Jupiter has been firmly handed the baton to usher in a fresh perspective to the themes of your Taurus house. While the eclipses in Taurus have now ended, Jupiter's presence hasn't
Pluto moved into Capricorn in January 2008 coinciding with the global recession and house market crash. Expect there to be an equally loud ingress into Aquarius, which we are already starting to feel. Themes such as climate change, freedom of speech, fanatical dictatorships,
Venus will be in the heart of the Sun, Aug 13th, exact at 12:10pm, GMT Normally planets conjunct the Sun are combust & are said to be weakened under baleful rays. However when a planet gets within '17 minutes of the Sun, it's said to be CAZIMI, which is auspicious & protective ๐ค
While we commonly associate the 7H to others, relationships & open enemies, Carole Taylor talks about the 7H as the house of projection. Where we assign a particular behaviour to someone else not realising that the behaviour actually belongs to us
The 7H is a mirror to the 1H
Saturn has been in domicile since it entered Capricorn in December 2017 followed by Aquarius in Dec 2020 and with it has come the increased pressure of climate change solutions and lest we forget, the Covid-19 pandemic leading to increased isolation
Who's ready for this next month?
What house will the Libra Lunar Eclipse be for you March 25th and what themes were illuminated, Oct 14th 2023 during the Libra Solar Eclipse?
The story continues...โโจ
We often forget that Chiron wasn't just wounded by his own arrow. A lot of his time was spent healing others
Whatever internal trauma your Chiron carries, you can always turn it outwards to help others heal, from a place of knowing
The first Lunar Eclipse this year is March 25th in Libra 5ยฐ ruled by an exalted Venus in Pisces
If you remember, the Solar Eclipse in Libra 21ยฐ, Oct 14th was ruled by a fallen Venus in Virgo
It'll be interesting to observe the difference. Same axis, similar vibe but different
There will be distinct times for action and a time to rest, a time to grow and a time to heal. Just as the planets ebb and flow in cycles, so does our life path.๐ซ๐งก
I've never wanted the astro weather to change so badly
Venus is now in Sag
Jupiter needs to turn direct
Mercury needs to turn direct
Mars needs to enter Cap
Not long now!!!
The nodes change signs on the 17th of July, signifying the beginning of a new 18 month spiritual journey in the houses that Aries & Libra rule. To go deeper, check your solar return and progressed charts too

This opposition is asking us what power dynamics are at play & what within us needs to be stripped down & built back up while we forge a new path for ourselves. Our cardinal houses are receiving a shake up & is calling us to move forward in a positive direction as now is the time
The new moon is in the sign of Taurus at 28ยฐ and signifies the end of a pretty gruelling eclipse season! It will bring a lovely grounding feeling, especially since the Moon exalts in Taurus, which will allow us to reset and feel more balanced after a somewhat turbulent time
Next month we have two full moons
August 1st - Aquarius 9ยฐ
August 31st - Pisces 7ยฐ
The Pisces full moon is a blue moon, which is where the term "once in a blue moon" comes from, as this occurrence is quite rare. The next one will be 31st May 2026๐๐ฉต
Tomorrow 04:04am GMT, Mars will move into Scorpio, the first time it's been dignified since July 22, when it was in Aries
Since then we've had:

@libramoongal
Honestly, it feels like a red mist and it's like a switch... I'll never forget Austin Coppock wrote that this placement is akin to the hulk or a werewolf
The Cancer โ Capricorn axis is about family, home & our sense of security. What makes you feel safe and who makes you feel safe? Cancer is nostalgic, sentimental and can often get caught up in the past, but this new moon is about the future and what needs your nurturing attention
Jupiter in Gemini has a limitless capacity for assimilating information. The font of all knowledge

The New Moon in Leo occurs shortly after the Venus Cazimi and halfway through Venus retrograde, August 16th,
9:37am GMT. With Venus conjunct the new moon, itโs clear that Venus plays a big role. Both the Cazimi and the retrograde highlight's themes of self-love and
and the further explosion of AI to name but a few. Look at the key astrological events of 2023 and track what houses they will occur in to understand what a more personal experience of these transits will mean for you.
to set a new story in motion. The nodes at 29ยฐ Aries and Libra will create a grand cross aspect formation, where the push and pull of our karmic destiny comes head-to-head with cathartic and life-changing vibrancy
Jupiter has moved into Taurus & will remain there until it moves into Gemini on the 25th of May 2024. Jupiter spends approximately one year in each sign, so works on a 12-year cycle. Jupiter was last in Taurus from June 2011 to June 2012, so what was going on for you then? A ๐งต
August 31st, 1:35am GMT
This full moon in 7ยฐ Pisces is considered a blue moon, as itโs the 2nd full moon in August. It will form a conjunction with 3ยฐ Saturn, which is currently retrograde. This is a time for inward reflection & will feed into your Saturn in Pisces story by
As we approach the start of 2024, there is a distinctly different feel to 2023. In January, Pluto moves back into Aquarius, after its relatively short stint that began in March 2023. Pluto will also enter Capricorn for the FINAL time in our lifetime, before settling into Aquarius
On a mundane level I think we'll start to see more high profile people being held accountable for past crimes & certain government structures will disseminate. As a collective, we'll notice a shift in our perception of societal norms & a realisation that we can reclaim our power
New Moon in Pisces and the last one of the astrological year! As it separates from the conjunction to Saturn, it will give us a little insight into the upcoming Saturn in Pisces transit in March! Jupiter allows us to dream and Saturn allows us to commit to that dream
Uranus has just stationed direct, which means that all planets are now direct until April 1st, when Mercury stations retrograde in Aries
Make the most of this dynamic energy as we ramp up to the spring equinox and the astrological New Year in March!!
Sometimes a transit isn't always about you, but could be about someone connected to you
3H - siblings & neighbours
7H - partner & clients
10H - work colleagues
11H - friends
If a transit isn't unfolding as you might have imagined, look beyond the literal to the intangible ๐ซ๐งก
Wait, why has my cat got more dignified planets than me? And why is she contemplating the works of Rudhyar? ๐น
Exalted Mercury
Exalted Saturn
Domicile Mars
Domicile Jupiter
Previous Jupiter in Gemini transits:
June 2000-July 2001
June 2012-July 2013
Can you remember what was going on for you then?
For those who have early degree mutable (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) placements, you may feel this ingress, especially mutable risings!
