Capricorn and Sagittarius will tell you something completely horrifying that happened to them but say it in a way that makes it seem like it’s truly just no big deal and the only difference is Cap says it like they’re commenting on the weather and Sag ends the sentence w “lol”
Women need to know that being desired is not the same as being liked, being liked is not the same as being respected, being approved of does not mean you are “good,” and being disapproved of does not mean you are “bad.”
astrology doesn’t require belief. it doesn’t require faith. all that it requires is the ability to recognize patterns and speak in symbols. believing in the weather forecast require more faith.
Knowing astrology is incredible because you can be having an terrible time and then you look at what’s going on in the skies at present and they beautifully articulate what you’re experiencing and you remember that everything’s in motion and feel a flicker of hope for the future.
Pisces isn’t pastel, it’s the color of bioluminescent sea creatures in the dark
Libra isn’t pink, it’s stark, high-contrast black and white
Virgo isn’t beige, it’s very very dark green, the color of where the plant meets the root below
Cancers & Libras need to remember that they are cardinal signs. Y’all feel out of step with the world bc you’re supposed to be 1 step ahead: an initiator, a leader, even an innovator who paves the way for a better, more connective, creative, ethical, caring & life-honoring world.
Hot take ig but water suns & especially moons are dang good at laughing through the misery & using humor to cope with the horrors. Scorpio moons are the best of all.
The thing about Mercury retrograde is if you are really in need of a break or a slower pace and you don’t take it or slow down, something will typically come up to “make” you slow down — car issues, getting sick, etc.
Mutable signs are guides. They guide us thru the movement of cycles. Gemini & Virgo are ruled by Mercury, guide to the underworld. They walk the in-between. They walk us to hell & back, keep us in motion, never stagnating, & guide the words that stream out like threads between us
Virgo is like an Italian mother who never sits down, shoulders are always tense, she runs around cooking, cleaning, taking care of everything for everyone & her food is always cold by the time she eats. She doesn’t celebrate, but gathers the things we need for a celebration.
I’m so excited for Virgo/Cancer risings to finally have Pluto out of their relationship houses in 2023, after 15 YEARS. What will your love life will be like without Pluto there always ready to bring the ~intensity~? Some of you have never even dated without this transit!
Y’all need to listen to & believe Saturnians when they directly tell you how they feel. One of the most common things I hear from Saturnian clients is that people in their lives don’t “get” how they feel or how important something was to them, even tho they’ve explicitly said so.
This is the first year since 2008 that Cancer season wont be ravaged by an opposition to Pluto in Capricorn. Cancer wants more than anything to be safe, full, laughing and comfy and Pluto has stripped that away from us for so long. I hope this Cancer season is so much lovelier 🦀
If you have personal planets in the 8th house (esp. moon or Venus), regularly leave little offerings to the 8th house by getting rid of something you’re holding onto for no reason. Like close your 200 tabs, throw out broken stuff you’re never gonna fix, clean out ur closet, etc.
astrology is often talked about in extreme, dramatic ways, esp. transits, but most of life is mundane, not extreme or dramatic. like, sometimes the south node transiting your venus is an ending to a relationship, but usually it’s just repurchasing a mascara you loved 15 years ago
The last time we had a Mars-Jupiter conjunction in Gemini like we will this August was March 11th, 1989 and within days the World Wide Web was invented, by a Gemini
Aries sun is the spark of a match
Taurus sun is afternoon sunlight through trees
Gemini sun is a cluster of fireflies
Cancer sun is moonlight
Leo sun is a spotlight
Virgo sun is a sunrise clock
Libra sun is a candle
Whatever began for you around Scorpio season 2021 is coming to a close with this last eclipse in Taurus on October 28th. That phase has been completed & you’re lovingly putting a title on that collection of stories and facing toward the future, ready to move into a new era.
It’s wild that Capricorn moons are considered so “unemotional” when Cap moons (women esp) are some of the the most emotionally evocative musicians. Like…Nina Simone, Stevie Nicks, Billie Holiday, Patsy Cline, Mitski, Phoebe Bridgers, Amy Winehouse???
Taurus is moss: soft and resilient energy that’s so grounded that it’s essentially one with the ground
Virgo is an herb garden: everything is beautifully tended to & has a purpose
Capricorn is a willow tree: sturdy but graceful, with deep roots that hold all the extra water
this fall we’ll be experiencing a temporary resurgence of certain things we thought we were done with. pluto is back in capricorn for the LAST time in our lifetimes! for 2.5 months it’ll linger at 29°, an intense & concentrated degree, as we tie up the story of the last 16 yrs
To be Venusian is to pay attn to & understand what is needed and when, when to bring a sword and when to bring flowers, when people need comfort and when they need harsh truths, when people need reframing and when they need affirmation, when to be steady and when to flow, etc.
The idea that we are carrying around the energy of everyone we’ve ever slept with is a deranged extension of religious misogyny & purity culture that instantly falls apart once it’s pointed out that a woman is not a sinkhole for someone else’s energy, because she’s not a hole.
I don’t trust an astrologer until I’ve seen them talk about certain signs with the nuance and depth that is generally lacking. Especially Aquarius, Libra, Gemini, and Capricorn
Pro tip: do more of what your Mars actually likes and feels excited by and you’ll likely feel much more excited to be alive.
Eg. 9h Mars? Learn, teach, travel
Leo Mars? Give yourself opportunities to win, be seen, or perform
6h Mars? Do something physical every day & eat well
If you are stuck in an endless “healing” phase, like you are compulsively seeking another tunnel inward, another answer to an undefinable question, another layer of psychological skin to peel back, another guide, another whatever, you probably need to stop digging & take action.
I am a ride or die Virgo fan but the one thing that really irks me is how Virgos refuse to celebrate. The greatest thing in the world could have happened and the response is a quick “cool” and then they go right back to work 😭
There's something really awful about growing up in a family where you’re the only person of a particular element (or modality).
The only earth sign in a family is made to feel like they’re too serious, uptight, and slow.
Only water sign? You’re “too sensitive.”
saturn, uranus, neptune and the nodes all change signs in 2025. pluto finishes up with capricorn for good at the end of 2024. the entire vibe in 2025 and beyond is so so different from what we’re used to!
Venus has finally entered Virgo after staying in Leo 5x longer than usual. Here she feels like a weirdo, fixated on how she’s too different & all the ways she’s ‘not acceptable.’ But she also knows the kind of love that can live in daylight. During the commute. In the dishes.
This week’s eclipse is angry. It says that making somebody “good” all the time is a form of objectification. You’re not allowed to be human, you have to be Good, liked, you have to be the object, just & right at all times. If you move from that image, you are bad. You are Lilith.
Saturn in the 4th house is the quintessential ‘late bloomer’ placement. They almost age in reverse in a sense, beginning life feeling older than their body and feeling freer later in life. Bc childhood is heavy, there’s a lot to work thru before you can bloom… but you DO bloom.
The shooter has been IDed and he has Mars (rx) conjunct Uranus NATALLY, and the Mars-Uranus conjunction that we are under TODAY is square his Uranus (and Mars, with a wider orb), and it’s on his north node-Black Moon Lilith conjunction. The astrology of this event is nuts.
Astrology as poetry
Astrology as a language
Astrology as a categorical system
Astrology as a clock
Astrology as a weather forecast
Astrology as psychoanalysis
Astrology as visual art
Astrology as senses
Astrology as the earth
8th house moon is a locket
9th house moon is a blanket on an airplane
4th house moon is a house you grew up in
7th house moon is your lovers bed
1st house moon is skin
10th house moon is an open wound
5th house moon is a cocktail
6th house moon is a house cat
If you had a hard childhood & esp. if it’s depicted by difficult planets in your 4th house, you prob love the energy of the sign on your 10th house & midheaven. They’re the opposite of what you had at home & everything you were never allowed to be but now can be if you so choose
Knowing that you are someone’s transit, like viscerally feeling yourself embody their actual transit in realtime + really knowing -in the moment- that you are the one delivering the experience foretold by the cosmos is one of the most mind-blowing things about following astrology
If you have Sagittarius or Pisces in a chart with either Virgo or Gemini (especially Virgo!), you may have quite a ✨complex✨ with the Jupiterian part of your chart vs the Mercurial part of your chart
11/13’s new moon in Scorpio is like a new moon on steroids with how much ‘newness’ it has the potential for. Let this be a fresh new start for anyone who could use an extra dose of willpower, focus, motivation & courage to move toward your desires, goals, the things you crave.
this week’s lunar eclipse is the first sign of neptune in pisces’ demise. for 13 years neptune in pisces has been the wool pulled over so many eyes. it’s given rise to cult-like beliefs, mainstreamed conspiracy theories, and put us in echo chambers. now it’s on its way out.
This full moon in Libra is more significant than the average full moon bc of what it foretells. Pay attention: this moon gently illuminates + foreshadows what you’ll be working to balance within the Libra-Aries axis when the north and south nodes enter Aries and Libra in July.
One of the most beautiful things about Virgos is how much they appreciate it when someone helps them or remembers details about them. Most of em lack the entitlement that many others have and instead they respect others’ time/space/energy so they really appreciate when it’s given
Saturn has been in the signs of its domicile since December 2017. That’s over 5 years. 5 very heavy, constricting, arduous years. The whole world is going to feel so, so different when Saturn enters Pisces in March 😭
Pro tip: If you want any level of fame/to reach the masses, you need to use your midheaven, 10th & 11th houses, & their rulers
Eg. MC ruler in the 8th? Bring in a shadowy, psychological, intimate vibe to your public persona
10h Mercury? Gotta actually speak to the public
Etc
The fact that astrology works doesn’t mean we don’t have free will. Astrology simply describes exactly how we’ll use our free will. Your birth chart will never say you’re “supposed to” be something you’re not: it’s a complete picture of you & everything you could ever be or want.
Lots of people feel like this period with Saturn in Pisces is much better than the previous few yrs, even people who are going thru their Saturn return rn, and that says a lot about how unrelentingly BRUTAL Saturn is when in domicile like it was Dec 2017–March 2023.
People with Moon-Saturn aspects carry so much that most others never see or even imagine they feel. Whether it’s emotions, health issues, responsibilities, traumas, etc etc etc,it’s carried quietly, understatedly, stoically.
Just because Saturnians don’t “act out” their feelings and make a big show of it doesn’t mean that they don’t feel it. In all likelihood, they directly told you how they felt. You just didn’t register it because it didn’t look like you thought the emotion “should.”
Today’s hot take is Libras are more serious than most other signs. They just don’t always come off that way because they’re an equinox sign— equal parts dark and light.
Venusians are out there looking at the ways that everything is interconnected bc Venus is not just connections between people but connections between everything and everyone that exists and has ever existed and ever will exist
if you’re struggling to write, tap into the energy of your 3rd house to get the words flowing
consider the sign too but
3h moon, get comfy & nourished
3h mars, get angry or do something physical first
3h venus, get dressed in the way that makes you feel like liquid gold. or 💦
Today Mars in Gemini finally leaves moves beyond its retrograde shadow & enters new territory. Since Oct. 30th, Mars has been crawling through the same bunch of degrees. We‘ve been going over and over and over the same things for months and months. Starting today we move forward.
Remember when I had my dad pull a tarot card for himself and it was the tower and he was saying that tarot couldn’t really work bc if you reshuffled you would just get a different card so I reshuffled and he again pulled the tower. Lmao
10/31 marks the end of Pluto’s nearly 6-month square to the lunar nodes. This is an alignment that happens only once every ~9 years & correlates with times of monumental change. A realigning of the fates, if you will. Last-ditch efforts. “Enough is enough.” Pushed from the womb.
the 12th house is scary but the 12th house is also the only place that is peaceful. it’s the walls of a prison or the walls of a temple. imprisonment or sanctuary. at some of its best the 12th is the place of healing, rehabilitating, and recentering.
Aquarius is somewhere between neon purple eyeliner and the inside of a skull
Cancer is opalescence, sandy linens, and the bare trees against a full moon
Gemini is a blue butterfly, and the way that fireflies look when they’re communicating with each other via light
Planets at 29° feel very intense, urgent extreme & pressurized, like it’s down to the wire, one minute left on the clock and you gotta 👏 get 👏 this 👏 right‼️ Seeing 29° in someone’s chart is an indication that the lessons of that sign and planet are gonna be important.
One of the most incredible things to me is just how much Jupiterians don’t need certainty. How willing they are to go with the flow and see what happens. How they’re sometimes even able to feel safe in uncertainty bc they have faith that the universe/god/whatever will hold them.
There’s this (often pre-Saturn return) idea that by “doing the work” or “taking responsibility” we can avoid the innate pain & consequence of living. We can’t. When we say that Saturn is the unavoidable facts of life it doesn’t come w a caveat that says “unless you ‘do the work’”
My favorite thing to talk to Cancer risings & Virgo risings about rn is how different their love lives felt from March to June of this year and how that fresh new feeling is likely to return in less than two months.
Capricorn is so much more complex than it's given credit for. It's a very earthy sign ruled by Saturn - it can be soulful and spiritual, emotionally mountainous, very determined and focused, and so much more.
One of the more difficult things about Scorpio (and sometimes Aries) is the way that y’all will put yourself in stressful, difficult, or even dangerous situations as if you don’t believe in your power if you’re not actively “surviving” something.
Leaving behind your south node in favor of your north node is not the answer to all of your problems. Keeping your nn IN BALANCE with your sn helps things click into place. Temperance. Letting em work for each other. Reattaching the head of the dragon to the tail of the dragon.
PSA to all my astrology honeys: every solar eclipse is a new moon solar eclipse & every lunar eclipse is a full moon lunar eclipse. putting “new moon” or “full moon” before the appropriate eclipse is unnecessary and redundant!
Be extra sweet to your fixed sign friends for the next few weeks. Between the last eclipse in Taurus & Mars in Scorpio pointing its sword in their general direction, stressors may be high right now. They probably do not need to be pushed or given any additional grief rn.
The date of the exact Jupiter-Uranus conjunction is April 20th, but the changes it represents have been brewing throughout the month of April, throughout the 11 months that Jupiter has been in Taurus, & even since Uranus entered Taurus six years ago. This is a culmination moment!
One of the craziest things about Pluto entering Aquarius after 16 years in Capricorn is the fact that so many of us have NEVER done certain things without Pluto transiting the house relating to those things. What will life be like without Pluto in that house!?
Reminder that we’re still in the middle of Pluto square the nodes + if things are moving in strange ways, if life is feeling liminal, like you’re sitting in the waiting room for your turn to step into the future, or like everything’s moving fast, it’s just ~the fates realigning~
Cancers & 1h moons are often very disconnected from their innate power because of how little value this world places on lunar things like creation, cycles, nurturing, love, life & respect for death, while all along these have been some of the most powerful forces on the planet.
This new moon in Scorpio, start hunting the future you desire. The ideal future rarely just appears. It has to be honed, grown, sought out and chased down. It has to be hunted. Scorpio knows this. ❤️🔥
Taurus is the color of lilacs (and their leaves) by candlelight
Scorpio is the color of elderberries and the flashlight under your chin at a slumber party
this week’s lunar eclipse in pisces is a reality-challenging, spellbreaking, illusion-shattering, revelatory kind of eclipse, and it is a preview: it’s the first eclipse in the pisces/virgo series, so it hints at themes we’ll be looking at for the next 2 years.
The north node in Aries/south node in Libra is bringing up feelings of deep loneliness in so many people. So many are saying the exact same things, that they can’t take being alone anymore, and that they are almost ashamed to say they need a partner, but can’t deny it anymore.
