Today, in light of the eclipse we experienced this week in Scorpio, I want to give you a rewind of one of my favorite episodes Scorpio and the Horror of True Love. With the Sun and Venus recently ingressing into Scorpio and an eclipse, it is the perfect time for a deep dive into the sign.

Today we will continue our exploration of Pluto's entrance into the sign of Aquarius by doing some early horoscopes. And I'm doing this because this is an outer planetary transit, it's going to spend a couple of decades in the sign of Aquarius, and we're getting our first taste for it this March, so I think it's a good time to reflect this transit. So let's look at this and see what we can learn and what we might anticipate through all 12 Sun and rising sign horoscopes.

This is part two of an exploration into Pluto's entrance into Aquarius. In the first episode, I talked about kenosis or the concept of emptying out. Today, we'll unpack who the water bearer is and how they relate to the sign of Aquarius.

Today we're going to take another look at Mars square Neptune which is perfecting now and through the retrograde process beginning at the end of the month. Since we'll be feeling this into November really, I thought we could take another dive into the watery Mars/Neptune combination. I have some rich material from one of my favorite desk references that I'll riff off and explore this intriguing idea of a watery Mars.

Today we're going to talk about Mercury's third and final opposition to Jupiter. Mercury has stationed direct in the sign of Libra and is making an opposition to Jupiter in Aries.

Following yesterday's conversation on the archetypal themes of Saturn in Pisces, today, we will look at all 12 Sun and rising sign horoscopes to see what area of life you might observe these themes or archetypal qualities.
Oct 07, 2022•38 min
Today we'll preview the entrance of Saturn into the sign of Pisces. Why do this now? Because Saturn is getting ready to station direct in the sign of Aquarius, it will then be on a trajectory to move into the sign of Pisces by early March. So I've got three themes for us to explore on Saturn in Pisces.

I'm excited to be joined today by two of my teachers, friends, and mentors in the bhakti tradition, Loka and Vidarbha, who occasionally join me to help me field your wonderful questions.

Today will look at Mars's upcoming square to Neptune. Mars is in the sign of Gemini, slowing down to turn retrograde by the end of this month. A big part of this upcoming retrograde is Mars's square to Neptune. For that reason, I want to give you some of the broad archetypal themes you may notice, not only this week but throughout the season. So, I'll go over some of those dates, and we'll probably revisit this square after the retrograde.
Oct 04, 2022•26 min
Today will take a look at Mercury stationing direct, and as it does so, it'll also make a near-perfect opposition to Neptune. So we'll look at that today and get a feel for what kinds of themes you might expect or notice.

Today we are going to take a look at the astrology of October. With eclipse season starting, it's a powerful month ahead. We also have Mars turning retrograde in the sign of Gemini.

I've been getting a lot of requests to talk about what ancient astrologers had to say from the Western standpoint about karma, enlightenment, and transmigration of the soul. Is the philosophy of yoga compatible with what ancient astrologers in the West believed?

Today we will talk about Pluto in Aquarius. Saturn is moving into its final square with the planet Uranus. After it does this, later in October, Saturn will station direct after being retrograde for quite some time and finally be on the pathway to leave Aquarius. At the same time Saturn leaves, Pluto will be entering Aquarius. So let's start inviting reflection into our lives upon this upcoming transformation.
Sep 27, 2022•44 min
Today we are going to talk about Mercury's conjunction with Venus. Mercury has been retrograde back in the sign of Virgo and is conjoining with Venus. It's a fascinating combination of planetary events we've unpacked over the past couple of weeks. So I've got three themes to watch for and three lessons for this transit.
