SOLAR ECLIPSE IN AQUARIUS CHEAT SHEETS BY RISING SIGN
Eclipses bring change. And with change comes all of our anxieties about how to meet it. This particular eclipse sits in the last degrees of Aquarius. It shares space with Mars and is square to Uranus. It’s ruled by fallen Saturn in Aries.
SOLAR ECLIPSE IN AQUARIUS HOROSCOPES
This eclipse sits at 28° Aquarius. It is copresent with Mars and square to Uranus. It is averse to both benefics and is ruled by a now fallen Saturn. It’s arguably the more difficult eclipse of the season. If you accidentally hit a hard edge at just the right angle, it can slice skin, break bones, send a nerve ending into stinging scattering. this eclipse is kind of like that.
NEPTUNE IN ARIES: ON THE SEVERANCE AND FORGING OF VISIONS
Neptune in Aries is a current of blinding courage, burning desires, and main character energy. It is scorched style. Ungovernable marching boots. Anarchy en vogue. It is a phoenix finding identity in crisis. Rebellion rising. Rage a cause worth defending in the sudden absence of hope. As the exaltation of the Sun, Aries is a visionary place.
THE PLACE OF MEDICINE: SOLSTICE, CAP I + ASCLEPIUS
The first decan of Capricorn is about the things illuminated to us that help us heal. The knowledge that changes us. It is co-ruled by Jupiter and Saturn. It is about the first experiences that alter our very foundations. The birth of principles that structure our lives. It is repair at an elemental level. Like the light, placements and transits here can sometimes pierce through us, leaving a burn or a cut we cannot ignore, to which we must commit to tending.
THE SKY'S THE LIMIT : CLIMBING TO THE 10TH HOUSE
The 10th house in astrology is the most visible place in the chart. Obvious and easy to brush over with broad-stroked key words like “career”, “reputation”, and “profession”, these descriptors are accurate but fall short of describing the power the 10th house entails. So let’s talk about what it really means to climb the 10th house ladder to the top.
MERCURY MARS CONJUNCTIONS, FOCUS, & THE INTERRUPTOR'S DILEMMA
On raw focus, welcome interruptions, ROSALÍA’s new album LUX, and how all of it serves a refractory exploration of Mercury Mars conjunctions.
A CONTEMPORARY TREATISE ON ASTROLOGICAL MAGIC
People who make astrological magic find key moments when a celestial spirit or body (such as a planet) is well resourced and relatively unhindered, and they perform a ritual at that exact moment to awaken or call that spirit into a material form. That material, usually called a “talisman” can then be carried with the maker or the person for whom it is made, to effect changes or experiences supported by that spirit.
DAY VS NIGHT CHARTS: THEY KEYS TO UNDERSTANDING SECT IN TRADITIONAL ASTROLOGY
Being born during the day or at night will change how traditional astrologers interpret your natal chart. The distinction, called “Sect” outlines the strength of all of the traditional planets in relationship to one another. Sect defines the essential power structure of a natal chart, identifying which planets belong together and how well they collaborate to accomplish a particular goal. It is an underlying category of classification for each of the seven traditional planets and is a critical consideration in delineating any astrological chart.
ON RULE-BREAKING: SATURN IN ARIES
Saturn in Aries is an elder whose regret is fuel for the fire. Who practices beginning again. Who is eventually obliged to play. Who may decide valor is actually worth something and the that the weight of the world is not a concern.
TRAVERSING THE VENUS/SATURN GULF
When we see Saturn and Venus together by transit or in a natal chart, we see relationships both plagued and blessed with difference and distance. We find grand age gaps, intergenerational affairs. We find the challenges of being born in moments with stark contrast but we also uncover admiration for the years between.
NOVEL / NOSTALGIA : ON ECLIPSES
Without the Sun and the Moon, the dawn ceases to dominate the night. Murkiness permeates and the clear shapes of our lives recede into shade. During eclipse season, we get to experience this gloaming as a rare juncture in time.
OVER/TURNING THE LAW, PART II
Our law is a human creation. It is both real and illusion. It is man-made. Thus, it is neither inherent nor everlasting.
ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST: OCT 4-17 2024
Jupiter and Pluto station retrograde, Mars picks a fight with everyone, Mercury enters Scorpio and Venus enters Sagittarius.
ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST: FALL ECLIPSE SEASON 2024
During an eclipse, the light goes out. Things we can see under normal circumstances become invisible. Don’t underestimate what you can’t see.
OVER/TURNING THE LAW, PART I
The law is essentially a social responsibility. Social being Venus. Responsibility being Saturn. Developing the capacity to respond to societal needs is the primary purpose of the law.
SKY RIVERS, GRIEF PARTIES + BAY LAUREL
Plants that help us breathe deeper open us to grief, sweeping through us to make space. This is part of healing, but not the whole of it.
ON THERAPEUTIC PAIN
Ritual creates pathways of familiarity that help divert us from pathways of self-sabotage. Ritual paves avenues of restoration we can refer to in moments of upheaval. Ritual polishes the ice so we can work our way up to the triple axel without getting caught in a basic crossover.
ON JUPITER + THE ECSTASY OF GRIEF
Grief carries us firmly and gently to the very core of our own vitality. Serves us spoonfuls of our own holy water. Fortifies our intimacy with the critical questions that run like electric currents under our life, lighting us up with presence. The times in my life when I have been most happy, most alive are inextricably linked to processes of grief.
ON PLANETARY PRIVILEGE: THE BLESSING + CURSE OF CAPACITY
Having planetary privilege doesn’t mean that things aren’t difficult. It can foster diligent self-efficacy and reliability. But relationally, being well-resourced while trying to be a decent person often means bearing more relational weight.
