Astro Notes Part XVI

Signs on the house cusps within 2 or even 3 degrees of the next house cusp can be interpreted as falling into the next house. For instance, if your 8th house begins at 17 degrees Cancer and ends at 27 degrees Gemini and your 9th house begins at 28 degrees Gemini and your Venus is in 26 degrees Gemini, your Venus can be interpreted as falling into either the 8th or 9th house, but you may feel it fits better in the 9th house and readings of Venus in the 9th may better address your own expressions of Venus. Signs on the 7th house (your descendant) are often signs you may be friends with. Signs on the 4th house can feel like home to you, for good or bad. For instance, if your IC is in Taurus and you have Moon or Venus in the 4th, Taurus suns may be pleasant to you and you may have an affiliation with them or feel amiable in their presence. If you have harsher outer planets such as Saturn or Uranus, or Mars or Pluto in the 4th, your relationship with Taurus suns may be unpleasant or combative and discordant, and you may find yourselves in a lot of pain or conflict with them and even be encumbered with great losses and emotional whiplash that reminds you of an emotionally difficult or turbulent childhood. These people may arouse a lot of emotion or anger from you. They may be very negative sources of energy in your life. People with sun signs that match your 10th house or midheaven/MC may be your mentors and help you find your way or path in life. They can be very instrumental to your success and connect you with people that will help elevate and establish you in society. They can bolster your reputation, or, alternatively, ruin it if Pluto is present in the natal birth chart of the native in this area. People with sun signs of your 1st house/rising sign/ascendant or 8th house may bring you a lot of intensity and strife, intense feelings that may be toxic or draining. You may find yourself in parasitic relationships with these people where both of you learn something from the other. These relationships are often very karmic and serve as lessons that improve your growth. Your relationships with these people may be long-term but unhealthy, toxic, detrimental to your being, all-encompassing and consuming, and hard to break free from. They may arouse much pain and struggle within you. They may introduce you to toxic substances or addictions. There may be an element of friction or codependency. Scorpio moons want to be seen but only on their terms. Hate anything invasive. Hate feeling interviewed or giving interviews. Hate explaining their choices. Often has a hidden motive or agenda. Calculating. Brainstorms. Long-term plans. Concrete goals. Determination. Iron will. May conceal their intelligence and surprise you with it.

They like to bait, provoke you, and spark debate. Push your buttons. Other’s anger excites them. It’s like foreplay. Often are attracted to people they fight with. Love to argue.

Often coerces or manipulates others into doing what they want. Perceptive. Highly observant. Tactical. Good at chess (emotionally), in terms of strategy. Always has a plan and a backup plan. Strategical geniuses.

When someone’s sun is conjunct your north node, the relationship is typically positive and enlightening. They may be inspirational and inspire you or help you to discover who you are in this lifetime. They may be essential to your journey and help your soul transform. They may introduce you to hobbies or organizations that help you thrive and know yourself. You may find part of your identity in them. When someone’s sun falls into your seventh house, you can lose yourself in them. Your own identity becomes suppressed under theirs. You may forfeit vital parts of who you are, trying to change yourself to be who they need or want you to be. They may force you to change or take advantage of you. You may feel like you can’t live without them. When your sun or Venus falls into someone else’s 6th house in synastry, they may become part of your daily routine or vice versa. You may attend to their physical, emotional, and habitual needs. You can become inseparable or be homebodies. You may become emotionally attached to them. For Venus opposite Uranus, relationships or connections can be very spontaneous. They may meet someone once & have a special connection with them but never see them again, or run into someone who significantly changes the course of their life or directs them to a pursuit or career, & never intimately know them. Venus square Uranus may find themselves with flighty partners who are emotionally absent or disappear from time to time. Relationships may be rocky or unstable at times. May be conflict-prone or challenging. May go through many ups and downs, wrenches, change of plans/direction, and life stressors and challenges. One partner’s work may take them across the country, away, or overseas for months at a time. One person may have the emotional or financial burden of keeping the family together. One partner may struggle with unemployment or have an inconsistent source of income or constantly be changing jobs or working odd jobs. May not have a stable, predictable source of income. Partner may be in jail or hospitalized for physical or mental health issues. Partner may have financial responsibility of their own family & keep them afloat in addition to caring & helping provide for their fellow partner. They may constantly have to travel to be with their partners or spend time away from them for long periods. Relationships can be lengthy & time-consuming. One or both partners may have to make sacrifices. May travel the world together. May live in separate homes, states, counties, countries, or continents from a partner. For instance, one partner may live in Oregon while the other lives in Minnesota, or one partner may live in Japan while the other lives in Canada. They may be together for only parts of the year or half, or split their time between two places. May struggle to make it work. May be separated geographically by distance, or by way of emotional distance. May have unconventional relationships. Blended family. Step or half children & parents.

May have a unique or special arrangement with romantic partners. May be non-monagmous or have open, non-exclusive relationships. May be swingers. May date creatives or nomads. For instance, may date a hippie or a starving/struggling artist or commissioner. Scorpio moons need to feel strong. They hate to be called weak or be accused of pussyfooting and will just say the truth aloud without tact or sensitivity sometimes. Others can find their bluntness refreshing. Don’t really care that it may hurt others’ feelings. Secretly sensitive. Doesn’t like to be wrong. Can rarely admit defeat or confess to being wrong. May retaliate or be emotionally or verbally aggressive or abusive. Emotional bullies sometimes.

When someone’s planets fall into your 12th house, they can bring you either intense pain or intense healing. Either way, they will have a remarkable, life-changing impact on your life. They can cause you to suffer greatly or lift you up and save you from your own demons. They can worsen your demons and trigger you or cause you to self-destruct, or you can self-destruct in the process of trying to save them. You may seclude yourself. They may jeopardize your emotional and physical safety and isolate you from loved ones. You may follow them into the rabbit-hole like Alice in Wonderland, into the abyss, a downward spiral, a storm, a cliff, the unknown, the wild/wilderness, the tornado of doom, a sea of blackness, sucked into the void or black hole, and be swallowed utterly, never found or recovered. They may suffocate your light or life. With this placement, it is common to see partners stuck in abusive or codependent relationships. Partners may enable each other or do drugs together or stifle each other’s growth. Uranus in the 4th or 7th house in synastry is very erratic. Relationships may be very unstable. Can begin or end very abruptly. May be love at first sight. Partners may change gradually after the honeymoon period. When it’s good, it’s good, when it’s bad, it’s really bad type of situation. Relationship may be on and off or fraught with struggle. May be limiting or controlling. Partners may restrict or suppress one another’s freedom, or alternatively, crave too much freedom or independence. Home life for the couple may be always changing, always moving houses, etc. May relocate. Move in together. Break up. Date other people. Get back together. Move in again. Break up within a couple of months. Rinse and repeat. A vicious cycle. Can’t seem to make it work/stay together or stay broken up/apart. Can’t live with one another or without one another. Separate often. May stay stuck in this pattern until one of them permanently moves on or marries someone else. Taurus suns, Aries moons, or some Pisces suns, especially those with Aries Venus, may treat their partners as their property: mine. They can’t handle feeling like someone else is moving in on their territory or watching someone they know hang out or spend time with someone they think is theirs and theirs only. They hate to share. May be controlling at times. Taurus moons may treat their partners as prizes to show off. May be proud of them. Leo, Taurus, and Scorpio moons like to show off their partners, but may also be intensely private & protect or guard their relationship from the world & be less public. They may rarely talk about their partners publicly or publicly express or demonstrate support for them. Scorpio moons may have anger issues or unresolved emotional wounds and trauma that manifest themselves in and hinder or ruin/damage their relationships. They have a difficult time working through past hurts and traumas instead of allowing them to ruin their future. Like Taurus, Cancer, Aries, & Gemini suns, Scorpio moons may benefit from anger management. Virgo suns and Scorpio moons never get over anything that has ever happened to them. They have a long and unforgiving memory. May find it difficult to move forward & manage anger & grief; may be stuck in the past. Scorpio moons may plot & be cunning, more conniving than most, with the exception of Scorpio midheavens. Need to control their image & the public’s perception of them. May do certain actions and say certain controversial words for publicity or attention, like Gemini suns or Pisces moons. May feel like their partner’s successes are their own. Share resources. Spend money easily. Shower & spoil those they love. Intense relationship with the mother, for positive or negative. Emotionally in pain a lot. Damaged by life. Chip on the shoulder. Are very socially adept, cognizant, emotionally attuned to how others feel. Can manipulate the feelings of others to benefit them. Makes power moves. Constantly seeks to elevate & transform themselves & reinvent their image. Hates to sugarcoat & walk on eggshells.

Scorpio moons have a hard time letting people go, even if they’re not sure they still love them. They’re terrified of losing people because of their deep-seeded abandonment issues: they may cling to dying relationships forever or until they find the right person for them. May be addicted to toxic or high-drama, high-intensity, high-conflict relationships or high-maintenance, jealous or possessive partners. May treat their partners as possessions. May be very jealous and possessive themselves. May be addicted to pain and drama. May be masochists or sadists in love. Love can be fought for. Love can be violent. Love can be passionate. Love can be punishment. Love can be destructive. Love can be addictive. May confuse obsession and addiction & infatuation for love. Obsessed with partners. Love-and-hate relationships. May vacillate between craving their partners and needing to be around them and despising them and feeling suffocated by them and needing to get away. May feel the urge to bed other people while in a relationship. Highly sexual beings: hypersexual at times. Obsessed with sex or physical touch. Need/desire/crave intimacy. Feel intense longings sometimes that they often succumb to. Pleasure-seeking. Likes instant gratification. May be easily aroused or stimulated. Searches for pleasure & more pleasure. Desire often shows in eyes. Makes intense, direct eye contact to express interest or desire. Has stare contests with potential lovers. Fall in love with potential. Gets invested & can’t let go. Intense. Strong, uncontrollable sexual tension/chemistry with partner or bedmates. Emotional connection: needs a strong bond to connect with others emotionally. May feel intensely sexually or physically attracted to their partners or others while in a relationship and has to suppress the instinct or not act on it. May cheat or feel the urge to because of intense sexual cravings they can’t control. May confuse lust for love. Some may suffer from sex addiction, like some Scorpio suns. May like taboo & be sexually deviant or experimental. Likes to explore their sexuality. Gets crushes. Likes a challenge. Nothing is off-limits. No holds barred. Need an aspect of pain, drama, intensity & devotion in their relationships. Need to feel everything & anything, whether it’s good or bad. Addicted to feeling. Highs and lows. Emotional rollercoasters: relationships are. Emotionally unstable themselves. Attracted to people who ground them, or alternatively, fuel their emotional chaos: lead to explosions. Can be dangerous. Need people but can’t stand to need them. Want them at their beck & call. Want partners to feel like they can’t live without them. All or nothing. May feel desperation. Can’t bear to lose. Hate to beg or apologize. Might use people sexually to fill up a void or get over someone else. Never quite get over their exes. Often have a ex that they think is the one that got away. Hate being lonely. Can’t handle being alone unless they initiate it. Either will never to back to an ex or will go back a 1000 times. May have periods where they fall out or don’t speak to partners, then abruptly get back together. Partners may get revenge on one another or attempt to get each other back or one-up each other: tit-for-tat kind of situation. May play games. May test partners to examine their loyalty or the depth of their love. May ask how much they love them or are willing to sacrifice. May keep secrets from their partners. May hide or lie about their pasts or omit important info their partners should know or be privy to. Intimidated by the thought of their partner moving on for good & starting a life or family without them & not belonging to them. Want their ex to always be there for them or close. May attempt to damage their partner’s reputation or control the narrative of them like Cancer suns if a relationship ends badly & they feel scorned or wronged by their partners. May publicly degrade, badmouth, demean, insult, or verbally confront them, directly or indirectly. Virgo & Cap suns get stressed out/nervous easily.

Neptune conjunct Venus in synastry gives you rose-colored glasses. You are incapable of seeing your partners for who they really are, their worse or negative qualities. You idealize them, place them on a pedestal, think they are the best thing that ever happened to you. You can be swindled by them, romantically or financially. You can be enchanted by them, so much you become lost in them. There’s something that prevents you from observing them as through a microscope or telescope, something that obscures your vision and prevents you from looking in. They may be deceptive. You may love them more than they love you. You may be addicted to your partners or in love with the idea of love itself. You may chase the fairytale or fantasy. Capricorn suns show love through gifts, often very practical, useful gifts, or even elaborate, luxurious ones. They often befit you with what you really desire, or with what you don’t even realize is important but end up appreciating later, like a watch or wool coat. A sock or candle that reminds you of your late mother, etc. Chiron in synastry often helps heal people from wounds & aids recovery from trauma or experiences of emotional or physical victimization. May positively change or impact an individual’s life. Saturn in synastry bestows longevity. Relationships may be very stable, long-lasting. Tight bond. Can endure ups and downs. Firm foundation. Partners whose placements conjunct one’s south node in synastry tend to be there as karmic lessons to people. They demonstrate what they need to let go of & heal from; they remind people of past wounds or lessons not learned in a previous lifetime. They are often representative of obstacles or difficulties an individual must encounter to come into their own & learn valuable tools in life. They can show them what they need to improve on & heal within themselves so they can stop attracting individuals such as those into their life. Can be indicators of woe. Strong Neptune or Pisces or Gemini or Sagittarius influence/mutable energy may have psychic or mental breakdowns; Virgo placements can suffer from this as well due to chronic worry & neuroticism. Capricorn, Virgo, Aquarius & Sag placements are the most neurotic. In addition to Pisces, these placements are also the most melancholic. Scorpio moons may struggle to manage/deal/cope with their emotions effectively. May fear closeness with and estrangement from others. May be very emotionally vindictive but precious. Love hard. Cancer suns often have meltdowns/temper tantrums, very aggressive, out of control, argumentative. Love deeply. Nostalgic like Libra suns. Pisces/Gemini suns/moons can be very delusional: Pisces & Virgo Venus can be very deluded in love. Virgo moons may struggle to reconcile their selves with who they think they should/ought/have to be. Can dream of their future self or aspire to be the best versions of themselves instead of accepting who they are in the present. Cancer suns & moons, Leo risings, & Taurus midheavens may constantly victimize themselves/play up the victim role hoping someone will save them. May be deceptive, emotionally manipulative & immature. May manufacture their image & lie or fabricate claims to the public: prone to public breakdowns. Constantly make excuses for their actions/failure to live up to the high standards they set for themselves/the high expectations of others. Obsessed with control. Controlling. Jealous. Demanding. High maintenance & proud of it. Clingy. Showy. Guilt-trips a lot, wants you to feel bad for them. Sympathy ploys. Drowns in self-pity at times. Moody. Addicted to drama. Wants to be the star/center of the show but claims to hate the spotlight. False modesty. Pretentious & vain at times. Bad or entitled attitude. Their life is often falling apart. Always in crisis. Despairs easily. Not receptive to criticism. Doesn’t respond well. Wants to be adored by the public. Craves fame, idolatry, validation. Needs to feel like the best or most beautiful. May be spoiled. The queen bee or drama queen or princess. Dramatic breakups.

North node aspects to Venus or sun or Saturn in synastry may make you feel like that person is your soulmate or twin flame. They intimately get you, mirror you, or are the other half of you or other version of you in some way. They may remind you of your humanity. May feel like home or like you’ve known them before in a past life and were married or somehow intimately involved.

Astro Notes Part II

Scorpio moons are also slow and resistant to change so it’s not uncommon to hear them say someone is “dead to me” or warn someone not to “burn your bridges” with them. Many also push people away a lot in relationships or hurt them either on purpose, as a way to test them and see if they are worthy of them or gauge how much they can push them or how loyal they are, or unintentionally, because they are scarred from their past and jaded on life and love because they have been hurt or abandoned before. I’ve also noticed many have issues with emotional intimacy or love or outright reject both, saying they never want to fall in love. Many believe love is a trap, love brings pain and suffering, or love is hopeless, so they avoid it at all costs or sabotage it when they come across or encounter it. Self-sabotage is one of the greatest setbacks for Scorpio moons, the other is vices. They are self-indulgent in their habits. They have to work extremely hard to overcome both. But it takes a lot of discipline and patience, and these virtues don’t come easy or without hard work. The issue is that many don’t seem to want to heal these wounds or find another method of coping that isn’t so damaging or destructive or reckless. They don’t like to inhibit their desires. They don’t like to feel controlled by other people or told what to do. When people try to help them, they see this is pity or their own sign of weakness. They get defensive, even if someone’s just trying to help. They often lash out or hurt someone’s feelings for doing so. They resent feeling pitied or weak or indebted to someone. They never want to feel they owe someone. I’ve also noticed a lot of Scorpio moons keep heavy secrets, for instance, criminal pasts or memories/experiences of victimization, including sexual assault, especially for women. They have walls built sky-high and they are very hard to penetrate. Their defenses are almost always up and they are very emotionally guarded people. Some have trust issues or are resistant to closeness and intimacy with others. They fear it and attachment. Many suffer from this internal state of void or emptiness, which they use vices such as drugs or overworking to fill or mask. Many wears masks/facades so people don’t see the real them. I’ve also noticed a lot of Scorpio moons have a resistance to therapy or rehabilitation or other conventional, accepted methods of healing and recovering from certain conditions. They seem to think it is a waste of time or an invasion or violation of their privacy. While they do have a difficult time trusting people, once they do, they do for life, unless their trust is betrayed in some way. They can be some of the most thoughtful and caring and loyal people. They are incredibly devoted to the people they do care about. They are very resilient and strong and dependable. They are not very mean, though, they may appear hard and cold. They are actually like teddy bears on the inside if they let you in. Of course, this is not to say all Scorpio moons are super intense or suffer from traumatic pasts or psychic wounds. This is just from what I’ve observed.

I’ve noticed Scorpios, sun or moon, tend to have issues with a parent or both parents, commonly the mother for women Scorpio suns. For men with Scorpio moons, I’ve noticed there tends to be a dysfunctional relationship with the mother who was either too controlling or too dependent emotionally on her son. There was a lot of conflict with the mother at home, some type of power struggle, some issue with authority, and many, if not careful, end up repeating this pattern with their other relationships with females in terms of romantic relationships. I’ve also noticed a lot of Scorpio moons who don’t have a difficult relationship with their mother have an non-relationship with their father. He was either absent, abusive or dead. Many felt abandoned by their father or didn’t have many male role models or family figures in their life. And if they did, it wasn’t pleasant, such as an abusive stepfather. For Scorpio moons, it seems the trauma starts at a young age, in childhood. I’ve also noticed many had difficult home lives, like their parents were poor or struggling or they grew up not feeling safe or loved, were bullied at school, were ill a lot, weren’t probably nurtured or nourished, etc. Many grew up way too young and had to become very independent at a young age for the sake of survival. Either to get out of an oppressive or abusive home situation or get out of poverty or simply move away for other issues. The family environment was one of dysfunction, financially or physically and emotionally. It was chaotic. Many grew up in an environment wherein they were not sheltered or protected and were exposed to the indignities of life, for example, homelessness, domestic violence, poverty, drugs, cancer/major illness, bullying, etc. In addition, many felt stifled or restricted by their parents. Many felt they either had to step into the role of the parent and mature, parenting their own parent, or parenting their siblings, unless they were an only child. Many grew up too fast and had to shoulder on a great deal of responsibility because the adults in their life couldn’t or were lacking. Many had to step into the role of provider and scour for employment to support the family. Some Scorpio placements try too hard to seem deep or “mysterious.” They purposefully don’t reveal certain traits about themselves to appear as enigmas. It can be forced. Like Cancers, Scorpios need a lot of drama and excitement in their love lives to stay interested, so do Aries, but they prefer the playful variety as opposed to the kind of serious, dramatic fallouts and bitter, ugly, nasty, vindictive breakups Scorpios and Cancers are used to having with their partners. Aquarius, too, like the latter can be very spiteful and messy in their relationships and may stir the pot a bit to see if they still care about their partners or determine whether the relationship is one worth saving or staying in. They may dispose of partners easily if they decide others are not worth their time, and quite callously or ruthlessly, too. Problems tend to simmer for a while, however, before they leave their partners. Capricorn women are incredibly loyal to their partners. Capricorn suns are very loyal in general. In love, Libras, Capricorns, and Virgos are the most loyal while Virgos are the most faithful. Aquarius and Sagittarius and sometimes Scorpio, Libra, or Leo men are probably the least faithful. Cancer, Aquarius, Scorpio, and Taurus men may be the quickest to move on physically into a new relationship and the slowest or last to move on emotionally, still holding a small flame or carrying relatively large feelings for their exes. They move on to forget and replace. Relationships may have overlap. Libra, Cancer, and Pisces women may be the slowest to move on emotionally or heal from past hurts. Fire signs may move on fast in general, both emotionally and physically, especially Leo, but Aries and Sagittarius, too, for both men and women.

Pisces suns tend to have issues with sleep, in the form of sleep apnea, insomnia, narcolepsy, etc. I’ve noticed they’re not very realistic. They’re very dreamy and ephemeral. They emote a lot. You’re unlikely to get concrete advice or solutions or answers from them like you would a Virgo. They will not give you objectivity. They will give you subjective answers and abstract questions to consider. They’re the type to answer a question with another question. They enjoy flipping the script and making you think less and feel more. They are pulled to water, from what I’m noticing. Many have a connection to the ocean or to the sea or even the swimming pool. They may love to shower or take luxurious baths or swim. Water is healing and integral for them. Alternatively, some may be afraid of water/bodies of water. They may hate fishing or boating or fear drowning in the ocean or pool. Although, I’ve noticed many Pisces like rain, either the weather itself, or the sound or smell of rain in particular. They may also enjoy thunderstorms. Sometimes they appear distant. They are probably daydreaming. This is not an act of boredom but an act of restoration and reinvigoration for them. They need to dream to live. Some are prone to escapism. I’ve noticed there is an elegant quality to them, especially in writing, particularly for Pisces risings and Pisces mercury placements. They can communicate in truly breathtakingly beautiful ways. They can mesmerize with their words. They have a beauty and elegance to them that is rare, electrifying, they can dazzle or intimidate. Even when they are withering, they may be heartwrenchingly or gutwrenchingly beautiful, feral even to observe. They have a certain grace and musicality to them. An edge. They’re poetic. They are often artists or poets or musicians and dancers, but all seem to be creatives. This applies to Pisces sun, Venus, Mercury, and Ascendant. There is something enthralling or enchanting about them that draws people in like a spell. In some ways, I think they are more magnetic than Scorpio risings. There’s something deeply intriguing and fascinating about them that makes people want to intimately know or study or attach themselves to them. Pisces placements are natural enigmas, the true enigmas. They are genuinely enigmatic. Unlike certain Scorpio placements, they don’t manufacture or exacerbate or play up to it. Pisces placements also have very intense or vivid dreams. Some struggle with escapism or drug dependency, including pills or marijuana and other substances. They may misuse or abuse drugs, even prescribed ones. They may also have an intolerance for drugs, including anesthesia. Anything that numbs them can be hard to digest or consume or tolerate. Even at the dentist or for a surgical procedure, they may have issues with anesthesia. They may prefer holistic or complementary and alternative medicine to medicinal drugs and remedies. They may be easily sick or prone to disease. They have difficulty relaxing or self-soothing. Pisces placements are also prone to migraines and feet problems, body aches or leg pains. There is some issue with the feet or blood circulation in the lower extremities, as I have observed, especially for Pisces suns or risings. Pisces moons are often sickly and catch disease easily. Virgo suns tend to experience tension in their abdomen or upper stomach or chest region when stressed or anxious. May have issues digestion food when experiencing anxiety symptoms. Somatic symptoms of health may be common.

Pisces and Virgo placements are some of the kindest, most emphatic people you’ll ever meet. They are often in service to/serve other people. They are very caring, nurturing, and supportive. Pisces in a friendly way and Virgos in a very maternal way because they are the maiden. They are your “mom friends.” Both Virgo and Pisces placements are self-sacrificing, there is very little they won’t do for people, even if it wears them down and they don’t get much in return. They hate to see people in pain or suffering. They attempt to ease and heal others and attend to their concerns, Pisces in a very emotional, immaterial way, and Virgos in both an emotional and material, pragmatic way. They will solve your problems, help you find solutions, write you letters or cards and make you cookies, get you the items you needs physically, and psychically heal you. They will listen to you and advise you. Pisces will primarily hear you and be there for you and share their feelings with you. They will mainly psychically heal you. Virgo suns, Venus, Risings can very much be sacrificial lambs, especially in love. They like to feel useful. Virgo Venus, to their detriment, loves to the point of self-sacrifice and self-flagellation. It takes forever for them to fall out of love and recognize the ways in which their kindness is being taken for granted. They give more than take and often end up alone, feeling like they are the shortcomings, when they are in fact the gift, the blessings. Virgo placements, when stressed/anxious or nervous, tend to become physically sick. They may experience headaches or stomach bugs or ulcers. Otherwise, they are generally in good health. They tend to be neurotic and self-disciplined and self-controlled, selfless and hard working/diligent, dedicated to their studies. They are very morally inclined and strongly principled. They are also very creative and not just scientifically or mathematically inclined as they are said to be. They are very intelligent and resourceful and thorough in their tasks. They are high-strung, ambitious, highly motivated, detail-oriented perfectionists. They thrive in the arts. They prefer the background to the limelight. They are very spiritual. They tend not to believe in God or religion. A lot of Virgo suns are hypochondriacs and distrust or avoid medicine. They often avoid/resist Big Pharma/Pharmaceuticals & taking psychiatric medicine even though they are highly anxious, high-strung & easily stressed individuals. They always take on more than they can handle & push past/defy their limits. They don’t know how to practice self-care and relax, though, they are always checking on others’ welfare. Virgos, like, Libras, constantly put others/others’ needs above themselves. They place themselves secondary or even tertiary instead of primary. They secretly have nervous breakdowns due to their neuroticism, but no one knows it. They aren’t very clean or hygienic, although they are germphobes: they are messy and disorganized. They hate irresponsible or lazy or forgetful people who don’t work hard or keep their promises. They love being solitary and working alone. Solitude is important to them. They hate working in groups & being around people drains and de-energizes them. Energy (of the surrounding environment) destabilizes/decenters them. Pisces and Virgo risings are stunningly pretty, Pisces risings in a graceful, soft, subtle, indiscriminate way and Virgo risings in an in-your-face, bold, discriminate, striking way. Both are compelling to look at. Both may be unconventionally pretty. Both have gorgeous eyes that people can get lost in. Virgo risings tend to have ocean eyes and wide hips. They are often lauded as the most beautiful/prettiest and sexually attractive. Virgo suns and Pisces risings feel a deep despondency with the world and throughout their life, often suffer from deep/major depression. Virgo moons & Pisces suns tend to go through periods of light/chronic depression. It is often triggered by feelings of inadequacy, desolation or disappointment, & other distressing life events.

Virgos and Capricorn are Type A. Total workhorses, the workaholics of the zodiac. Scorpio is Type A. So is Cancer. Libra appears Type B but is Type A. Aquarius, Sagittarius, Pisces, Taurus, Gemini & Aries are Type B. Leo appears Type B but is Type A. Virgos and Pisces are the most interested/likely to believe in astrology. Capricorns and Aquarians are the biggest skeptics. Aries and Libra, Virgo and Pisces, Taurus & Scorpio, Gemini & Sagittarius, Leo & Aquarius are sister signs; in dating, Taurus & Scorpio and Gemini & Sagittarius seem to last the longest. Aries & Libra & Aquarius & Scorpio are common in friendships.

Signs four signs away from each other are said to be the most compatible but I’ve noticed signs two signs away from each other seem the most compatible; for instance, Virgo and Scorpio; Leo & Libra, Aries & Gemini, Taurus & Cancer, Gemini & Leo, Libra & Sagittarius, Scorpio & Capricorn, Sagittarius & Aquarius, Aquarius & Aries. Virgo-Leo and Virgo-Cancer don’t get along as well as Pisces-Aquarius or Scorpio-Sagittarius. Libra and Scorpio actually are a fantastic combo; they love each other with an unrivaled devotion and unconditional love, whether romantic-wise or friendship-wise or in terms of the relationship between parent and child.

Virgo and Pisces placements tend to feel emotionally stifled at home. They don’t feel heard or seen or validated or acknowledged. They don’t feel important or feel as though they matter. They don’t feel cared for or appreciated. They feel under-appreciated or misunderstood, marginalized even. They may feel like the black sheep of the family. Their childhood could be very bleak and sad, hopeless and demoralizing. It may taint their outlook on life. Pisces moons feel so much that they can become overwhelmed at times. When they do, they can lash out with the vindictiveness of a Scorpio moon. They can also wallow in sentimental feelings or self-pity when they get stuck in their emotions. Cancer suns as mothers tend to have a relationship with their children wherein the child is the parent in the relationship and they are the child. They tend to be very childish, rather than being the grown-up in the situation, so their children often have to act as the adult and therefore take on a lot of responsibility at a young age; Cancer sun women as mothers can handicap their children by making them feel responsible for their emotions if they’re not careful. They can also be emotionally draining and demanding, which can place strain between the parent-child later on in life. They are most likely to pass on the mother wound to their children, besides negatively afflicted Scorpio women. Cancer suns may not have the best grasp on their children’s emotional needs because they’re too blinded by or concerned with their own. Like Leo suns, they can be self-absorbed, while lacking self-awareness. Alternatively, Cancer suns have a strong desire to please their mothers and keep their friends happy or appeal to their partners; like Aquarius, they feel a strong loyalty to their friends. Libras or Capricorn sun women may be helicopter parents. Aquarius or Sagittarius, and sometimes Gemini women, tend to give their children the most freedom because it is equally important to them, however, at times, like Pisces, they can become emotionally absent or unreliable caretakers because they are so accustomed to their own freedom and wouldn’t dare compromise it for anything, not even for their children (or their children’s sake). Their need for independence and total autonomy or agency (at all times) is rooted in a desire for control/the ability to commandeer or control the situation, which can sometimes make them lose sight of what’s important. They can appear detached, flippant, remote or apathetic and uncaring or cold and insensitive, vain even, at times. Leo suns and moons and Capricorn suns can project their own desires into their children to their own ailment. This can cause their children a lot of grief, as they may feel like they’re not in control of their own destiny and have to live by their parents’ rules or conform to their expectations and partake in the activities their parents enjoy but weren’t able to excel at in order to make them happy. Children of these signs want to make their parents proud more than anything, but this desire can prevent them from finding their own path. They may have a crisis later in life when they realize they don’t know who they are. The person they want to be is often shaped by those parental influences. Learning their own goals and hobbies that suit them and developing a personality that isn’t reflective of their parents can often be difficult or a struggle for them. Furthermore, it may make them restless or cause them to develop resentment or anger for their parents later in life.

Leo suns may have an insecure or overly clingy attachment to their children or vise versa. Leo suns want to be a name in their own right. They desire merit, not just attention. They care about building & cementing their legacy. Leos, Scorpios, Libras, and Capricorns, and Capricorn-dominant Aquarians care about their brand/image and solidifying a lasting reputation. Taurus, Leos, Cancers, and Libras are the most vain. Leos, Libras, and Virgos, then Scorpios and Capricorns and sometimes Aquarius are the most image-conscious, the former in a superficial way (looks/appearance-based) and the latter in an abstract way (concepts/ideas) or via concern for their orientation and perception in the world and recognition they can achieve through their external airs, presentation, work/art, or outlook. Cancers are the most envious, rather than Leos. They suffer the most from envy/jealousy. Virgo, Scorpio, and Aquarius suns fear intimacy, vulnerability, connection, attachment, and love, especially Virgo and Scorpio. Capricorns as well, but to a lesser degree/extent. Virgos and Scorpios value privacy and secrecy & self-control above all. They are the most private and mysterious of the zodiac. They are the hardest to read, figure out, open up, and get to know, Aquarius being a close follow-up. Also Pisces, because you never know their true form and they are very vague and ambiguous. Virgos and Scorpios both find it hard to forgive and neither forget nor forgive/hold grudges. Pisces are the runner-ups in terms of being enigmatic. Aquarius, Sagittarius & Pisces are conspiracy theorists. They are often liberal. Capricorn believes/has faith in government and traditional principles and tends to lean conservative. Virgos can hold a grudge just as much as Scorpios can. They’re also just as obsessive, Virgo moon and Venus placements more so than Virgo sun. Cancers are just as obsessed, if not more obsessed with revenge and emotional annihilation manipulation than Scorpios. Cancers are the queens and kings of emotional revenge; Scorpios are the princes and princesses. Virgo suns are passionate lovers. Capricorn mars or Venus, like Scorpio Venus, can be obsessed with sex and pleasure or instant gratification. Although, Scorpio Venus prefers a chase/desires to chase their partners because it’s a challenge to them & they don’t want an easy partner or boring relationship. Aquarians don’t like boring or safe, timid or clingy partners. Aries Moon and Venus like to be chased. Cancers, Scorpios, Aries & Taurus in love are possessive. Geminis and Virgos in love are obsessive. Leos and Libras are both possessive and obsessive when in love. Aquarians and Sagittarians plus Virgos and Capricorns in love are devoted, but at times distant when they get scared—they may pull back from the relationship. They hate to feel dependent on someone or feel like they can’t live with someone. Pisces and Libra tend to idealize/romanticize their partners, as well as Virgo or Pisces Venus. Aquarius, Libra, Pisces, and Cancers are the most likely to go back to exes, Aquarius because they get bored or tired of their partners easily but also get tired of being single and unattached, the rest because they tend to stay in love. Leos and Aquarians may return to old relationships but not because the love or passion is still there but more because they don’t want to be alone. Virgo venuses struggle not to feel lonely in relationships with people who make them feel lonely or insecure, and tend to date partners they try to fix or heal. They can get hurt this way. So can Libra mars or venuses. Libras fear censure or reproach more than anything. They fear negative public opinion or appraisal of them. So do Cancers. Geminis secretly desperately want to be liked & accepted for all of their eccentricities, so when their eccentrics make them an outcast, they are badly hurt because they feel rejected, unaccepted, unliked or underappreciated.

Water Risings (Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer) tend to be captivating, spellbinding, or mesmerizing to look at. Their eyes, especially, are enchanting. They are often pronounced, striking/stunning, and really pretty. Pisces risings are ethereal and enchantingly beautiful.

Astro Notes Part XVI

Signs on the house cusps within 2 or even 3 degrees of the next house cusp can be interpreted as falling into the next house. For instance, if your 8th house begins at 17 degrees Cancer and ends at 27 degrees Gemini and your 9th house begins at 28 degrees Gemini and your Venus is in 26 degrees Gemini, your Venus can be interpreted as falling into either the 8th or 9th house, but you may feel it fits better in the 9th house and readings of Venus in the 9th may better address your own expressions of Venus. Signs on the 7th house (your descendant) are often signs you may be friends with. Signs on the 4th house can feel like home to you, for good or bad. For instance, if your IC is in Taurus and you have Moon or Venus in the 4th, Taurus suns may be pleasant to you and you may have an affiliation with them or feel amiable in their presence.

They can cause you to suffer greatly or lift you up and save you from your own demons. They can worsen your demons and trigger you or cause you to self-destruct, or you can self-destruct in the process of trying to save them. You may seclude yourself. They may jeopardize your emotional and physical safety and isolate you from loved ones.

Scorpio moons may have anger issues or unresolved emotional wounds and trauma that manifest themselves in and hinder or ruin/damage their relationships.

Neptune conjunct Venus in synastry gives you rose-colored glasses. You are incapable of seeing your partners for who they really are, their worse or negative qualities. You idealize them, place them on a pedestal, think they are the best thing that ever happened to you. You can be swindled by them, romantically or financially. You can be enchanted by them, so much you become lost in them. There’s something that prevents you from observing them as through a microscope or telescope, something that obscures your vision and prevents you from looking in. They may be deceptive. You may love them more than they love you. You may be addicted to your partners or in love with the idea of love itself. You may chase the fairytale or fantasy. Capricorn suns show love through gifts, often very practical, useful gifts, or even elaborate, luxurious ones. They often befit you with what you really desire, or with what you don’t even realize is important but end up appreciating later, like a watch or wool coat. A sock or candle that reminds you of your late mother, etc. Chiron in synastry often helps heal people from wounds & aids recovery from trauma or experiences of emotional or physical victimization. May positively change or impact an individual’s life. Saturn in synastry bestows longevity. Relationships may be very stable, long-lasting. Tight bond. Can endure ups and downs. Firm foundation. Partners whose placements conjunct one’s south node in synastry tend to be there as karmic lessons to people. They demonstrate what they need to let go of & heal from; they remind people of past wounds or lessons not learned in a previous lifetime. They are often representative of obstacles or difficulties an individual must encounter to come into their own & learn valuable tools in life. They can show them what they need to improve on & heal within themselves so they can stop attracting individuals such as those into their life. Can be indicators of woe. Strong Neptune or Pisces or Gemini or Sagittarius influence/mutable energy may have psychic or mental breakdowns; Virgo placements can suffer from this as well due to chronic worry & neuroticism. Capricorn, Virgo, Aquarius & Sag placements are the most neurotic. In addition to Pisces, these placements are also the most melancholic. Scorpio moons may struggle to manage/deal/cope with their emotions effectively. May fear closeness with and estrangement from others. May be very emotionally vindictive but precious. Love hard. Cancer suns often have meltdowns/temper tantrums, very aggressive, out of control, argumentative. Love deeply. Nostalgic like Libra suns. Pisces/Gemini suns/moons can be very delusional: Pisces & Virgo Venus can be very deluded in love. Virgo moons may struggle to reconcile their selves with who they think they should/ought/have to be. Can dream of their future self or aspire to be the best versions of themselves instead of accepting who they are in the present. Cancer suns & moons, Leo risings, & Taurus midheavens may constantly victimize themselves/play up the victim role hoping someone will save them. May be deceptive, emotionally manipulative & immature. May manufacture their image & lie or fabricate claims to the public: prone to public breakdowns. Constantly make excuses for their actions/failure to live up to the high standards they set for themselves/the high expectations of others. Obsessed with control. Controlling. Jealous. Demanding. High maintenance & proud of it. Clingy. Showy. Guilt-trips a lot, wants you to feel bad for them. Sympathy ploys. Drowns in self-pity at times. Moody. Addicted to drama.

Despairs easily. Not receptive to criticism. Doesn’t respond well. Wants to be adored by the public. Craves fame, idolatry, validation. Needs to feel like the best or most beautiful. May be spoiled. The queen bee or drama queen or princess. Dramatic breakups.

North node aspects to Venus or sun or Saturn in synastry may make you feel like that person is your soulmate or twin flame. They intimately get you, mirror you, or are the other half of you or other version of you in some way. They may remind you of your humanity. May feel like home or like you’ve known them before in a past life and were married or somehow intimately involved.

ASTRO NEWS

Upcoming events:

Lunar eclipse on June 5th, 2020 in 15 degrees Sagittarius (will affect everyone but especially mutable placements, Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, Sagittarius). Full moon @ 3:12 p.m. EDT. Effects can be felt on June 6th.

Lunar eclipse on July 4th (American Independence Day), 2020 in 13 degrees Capricorn. Full moon @ 12:44 a.m. EDT on July 5th, 2020. Eclipses that fall on a full moon typically have larger scale repercussions because full moons signify endings/something coming to a close. I wonder what this means for America, especially in the midst of a crisis and a large scale public response to the viruses of Covid-19 and racism. Hopefully there is some kind of positive resolution, but I’m leaning toward negative at the time being, just based on a preliminary assessment of the transits at this time. This eclipse will affect everyone, especially cardinal placements (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn). Be mindful of that fact that the transits at this time mirror, astrologically, the transits that occurred on 9/11, 19 years ago.

Solar eclipse on June 21, 2020 (energy will be felt on June 20th as well). New moon @ 2:41 a.m. EDT in 0 degrees Cancer. Cardinal signs should be particularly mindful (Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn).

Super New Moon on October 16, 2020 at 3:31 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) in 23 degrees Libra (how fitting!). Cardinal signs (Libra, Aries, Cancer, Capricorn) should feel this heavily.

Lunar eclipse on November 29, 2020. Full moon on November 30, 2020 @ 4:30 a.m. EST in 8 degrees Gemini. Mutable placements (Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces, Virgo) will likely be the most impacted.

Total Solar eclipse on December 14, 2020 @ 11:16 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) in 23 degrees Sagittarius. New moon. Mutable placements will be strongly affected (Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius).

The following events will happen a long time from now in the future, but be on the look out!

March/April 2021: retrograde Pluto conjoins the natal Pluto of the U.S.A.

May 26, 2021: total eclipse of the moon

June 10, 2021: solar eclipse

November 19, 2021: lunar eclipse

December 4, 2021: total eclipse of the sun

February 19, 2022: The U.S. experiences its Pluto return in Capricorn (think American Revolution—is there potential for not just riots, but civil rebellion again?) On February 20th, Pluto will be direct. Side effects will be strong in March 2022.

July 11, 2022: The U.S. experiences its Pluto return in Capricorn while Pluto is retrograde (think civil uprising, what happened over 250 years ago, when Americans won their independence). Lingering effects will be felt in September 2022.

December 29, 2022: The U.S. experiences its Pluto return for the third time. Pluto is direct.

Note: I will update this post as we draw closer to the events listed.

Notes on Creativity and Mercury (Intelligence) versus 1st House, 10th House, 6th and 3rd Houses

This is unpopular but I don’t think Mercury or the third house has anything to do with your writing style, I think your rising sign/ascendant and midheaven speak volumes about your communication style, verbally and in the written form, while the 6th house can also show you not just how you express, but how you invent ideas. It demonstrates your creative capacity and your creative fruition, while the 1st house is related to your imagination and more which I will touch on later. I think your Mercury has more to do with your writing or cognitive process and your approach to mental faculties, such as the way in which you decipher information and break it down (think of the cogs in a spinning wheel), essentially, Mercury is more related to how your brain functions, while your sixth house has to do with your creative process and idea generation. Your third house has to do with the manner in which you demonstrate such processes. Your first house is expressive of how you generate outward and inner energy or how exude yourself, both of which are related to your subjectivity; thus, it is related to your expression of ideas and your writing or creative quality; it is emblematic of your voice. Your writer’s voice, your creative voice, and your personal voice. The quality of your voice is related to your writing’s subjectivity. Your tenth house indicates your intellectual process and intake of ideas. It represents your artistic integrity and creative freedom. Your soul shines in your 1st house, including the soul of your work, which is mirrored in a writer’s subjectivity or an artist’s voice or a creator’s style/formula/blueprint. The ascendant and midheaven, together, determine the creative essence of a person.

For instance, someone with an Aries rising may have more of a blunt and to the point/straightforward communication style and their dialogue may be witty and a bit-scattered and all over the place, though their tone is direct, if they have a Gemini third house, while also thinking or creative methodically and steadily if they have a Virgo sixth house and writing in a very business-like way or writing for business or legal concerns (i.e. writing legal briefs, letters of recommendations, grants, emails to the CEO) if they have a Capricorn midheaven. An Aries rising with a Leo Mercury might think big and bold and have ambitious ideas and take on large-scale projects or projects that require a lot of energy and movement and place them in leadership roles because of the influence of Leo/the Sun.

Another example is this: a Pisces rising may write in a very mystical or complex, even self-transcendent way while appealing to pathos. Because of your Sagittarius midheaven, you may write in a very philosophical, didactic, knowledgeable nature, and your writing may be embroidered with your ideologies and empowered by your morality [system]. As a Sag midheaven, you may write to feel free of something (including a feeling or situation), write to help others attain a sense of freedom/independence (i.e. write about social injustice and social problems that plague the world), or dedicate your work to creative forces that help you feel idealistic, socially conscious/aware, principled, and wise. You may struggle or feel trapped or blocked (perhaps even creatively) when you feel as though you are bound by rules or duties/obligations that stifle your creative freedom. Your sense of self may translate/come across very strong in your writing and you may be very opinionated. As a Pisces rising and Sag midheaven, you may not write in a formal way, preferring informal methods of communication. You may also prefer nonverbal cues and communication to verbal communication. But you may be a powerful orator or speech writer. You are less inclined to argue about statistics or facts (logos) and more likely to appeal to pathos (emotion) due to your water rising and ethos (humanity/society/nation) due to your Sag midheaven. A creative enterprise is one that helps you tap into your inner child due to your Leo sixth house, and you are likely to have lofty goals in the workplace that you set for yourself. Your creativity process is one that is predicated on your ability to be as honest and electric and in charge as possible. You may take on a certain persona or character due to the influence of your rising. Your rhetoric may also be infused with a sense of conviction and identity that is sharp and unrivaled due to your Leo 6th house, but your writing and work may also be very ego-driven, and perhaps even, abrasive, at times. At the same time, you may be endowed with a wealth of creative ideas and prowess as a Leo 6th house and Sag midheaven, and may be very generous in your ideas and prolific in your writing. Your ideas and inventions or creative applications may be warmly received, and even considered dominant, since your Leo 6th house makes your expressive style very charismatic. You will be very protective of them: your ideas and creative works. You may have a brave voice. What is fun to you is what allows you to be celebrated and acknowledged, especially in terms of achievements/accomplishments. A sense of pride and ambition follows you and consumes you and your work. As a Pisces rising, your conscience shines in your work.

As a Sag midheaven, your imaginative capacity is limitless. You may be very stubborn in your ideas and powerful in your speech, assertive, warm, and enticed by the ideals of beauty and magnificence or opulence due to having Taurus in the 3rd house. Your work is reflective or inspired by what you find beautiful or ugly in this world. As a Pisces rising, your work may be considered virtuous and enchanting by others who may see in your work aspects of themselves and qualities they wish to see in the world. If your Mercury is in Virgo, for example, your writing has a certain formula; this is not to say you are a formulaic writer, it just means you incorporate certain elements religiously/fervently across all of your works/universally. Your thought process is very thorough and your cognition requires a sense of perfection which makes you very detail-oriented and concerned with looking at the small parts of a whole to piece together the full picture. You are disciplined and practical in your application. Your style of information processing is analytical. You gather and make sense of data as if you are doing research; you are like a scientist, slow and deliberate and intensive. Your thoughts are precise. If you’re a Pisces rising, universality will be a theme in your work because you have the ability to make universal messages as your rising sign is related universal consciousness. A Virgo Mercury makes you concerned with objective facts while a Pisces rising makes you considered with the subjective reality. As a Virgo Mercury, you are dedicated to trying to refine and critically assess who you are. Virgos are concerned with refinement, while Pisces and Virgo are both committed to betterment for the sake of humanity. As a Pisces rising, you’re trying to redefine who you are. As a Cancer Mercury and Pisces rising, your work and creative essence is likely to be considered with what is sustainable as a Sag midheaven and freeing, but also with what makes you feel at home in the world or makes you feel emotionally safe and secure. As a Cancer Mercury, you are instinctively clued in to what others need to feel content and what makes people distressed, angry, unhappy or uncomfortable. You are very good at managing people and their moods. You are able to sway or easily influence their judgments. While you don’t assess as a Virgo Mercury does (for Virgo Mercuries have a primary mode of assessment), you internalize like them, you perceive. You know what makes people tick and how to fix it. You know how to make people feel all warm and bubbly inside (or more irritable, lol). You can sense and intuit people’s moods, body language, affects/emotions states, attitudes, etc. You can study someone’s posture or face and instantly know/determine how they are feeling. You are very receptive to people’s moods and energies as a Water Mercury, and you have the ability, also, to shape or manipulate people’s mood (for better or worse). Your gift lies in your attachment and your seductive reasoning and relationship skills. This is where your intelligence lies and you are most masterful, in terms of applying your wisdom of people and directing your acquired knowledge into shaping [beneficial] outcomes for yourself and others. As a Sag midheaven, you are a natural scholar. You are constantly aspiring toward greater consciousness.

As a Pisces AC and Sagittarius MC, you may tend to feel lost in the world, and struggle to feel grounded or centered, so the influence of your Cancer Mercury may help you establish a sense of security via channels that offer you a way to be the boss or in charge and manage others while also placing you in the role of caretaker. You may be the manager or promoter or group leader or team builder. You may the first person who offers soft feedback or lends a hand or hug to someone feeling down in their creative abilities. Your own creative potential may be spurred by whatever drives you to feel connected to others. You may be the one installing a community mural. You may the one organizing a community food drive (Cancer placements thrive in the role of community organizer). You may be the lead creative director of an organization or the group’s facilitator or project manager. A lot of your energy and identity is gleaned from others, and you have an intimate underanding of your own needs that enables you to better understand others’ human needs. In your work, you may be the ‘mother’ or teacher to your colleagues and work inferiors. You thrive in challenging roles where you may find yourself offering or support or guidance because your intellect allows you to come up with creative solutions that helps keep the group happy and unified. Your skills are largely related to interpersonal intelligence, as opposed to how a Virgo rising, for example, may use scientific, logical, or spatial reasoning to solve problems. Your ability to work well in a group and direct others efficiently makes you an effective and trusted leader. Your creativity is limitless so long as you are always inspired to be of asset (to be needed), which makes you feel of need (to be creative for you is to be of need). Unlike Sagittarius Mercury, you are not your own island, Cancer Mercury, and your ability to be protective of others and provide yourself and them with knowledge and assistance creatively makes you indispensable. As a Pisces rising, you are constantly trying to elevate and transcend who you are.

New Astro post coming Thursday right before 5 EDT! It’ll be about Mercury, creativity, intellect, and the 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 10th houses!

Mercury in retrograde is great for clearing out what’s no longer useful or needed, de-stressing, getting rid of old habits, junk, and trinkets, and reorganizing your life.

It’s also a great time to return to past abandoned projects and finish them. It’s not the time to make unimportant purchases (i.e. shopping for clothes), for items bought during this time might not appeal to you later or live up to reality. For people with natal mercury in retrograde, they might find themselves inspired to involve themselves in creative or passion projects and express their intellectual interests. They might also be more inclined to write and expand their hobbies, as well as pursue their ambitions at this time. They may take a great deal of action toward pursuing their goals and dreams, while other people who don’t have this placement might take a step back, as this is not the time for them to act, rather, it is the time for them to think or clarify past situations and contemplate visions of the future. Future visions are likely to remain just that: visions, for those who do not have this aspect natally. For those who do, action taken during this time could be very rewarding and its utility could be reinvoked in the future. Now is also time to consider improving your self-concept and self-confidence, and it might begin with reevaluating what makes you feel stimulated or alive, versus tired/drained.

This is the time to reinvest in your dreams, it is not necessarily the best time to take risks or reinvent yourself. If you must, take small leaps as opposed to large ones, or you may encounter hurdles that you may find difficult to surmount. Make sure to be as realistic as possible; idealism could get you in trouble if your vision lacks pragmatism. Clear thinking involves thinking organically and sometimes, methodically. Taking the time to plan and prepare before you act/do and implement can do wonders at this time; take precautions. Don’t assume greater confidence than the situation commands. Now is also the time to trust reason more than feeling, remember that you are not actively motivated to think as rationally and lucidly as you otherwise would during this period. Exercise self-judgment and discernment, healthy disbelief and skepticism, while also instilling self-belief. Acting instinctively could land you in hot water because everything is not what it seems. Be wary of deception, not just by outside forces; beware self-deceit, and remember that deceptive thinking involves not thinking fluidly, but thinking narrowly. Think robustly. Consider alternatives. Creative blockages may be common; the reverse may also be true. Find time to stoke your creative juices and don’t get frustrated if you experience any blocks (this could be caused by clouded judgment or mental exertion, as well as situational/external factors, or personal, such as in the case of writer’s block).

Note: during mercury in retrograde and its shadow period (pre- or post- shadow), expect delays in flights, technological mishaps, untimely disturbances/interruptions in everyday life, miscommunication issues (i.e. being accused of something you didn’t do or accusing someone of something that the person didn’t do), errors in communication transmission and [processing of] information delivery, including delayed or lost important communication (e.g. passport delayed, driver’s license lost, packages arriving late in the mail or failing to live up to your expectation in some way, baggage lost at the airport, letter unsent, highly urgent work email sent to the wrong recipient or with the message: failed sender, dicey texts, blowout with boss over a misunderstanding, e.g. failure to perform a task you actually did, administrative mishaps, such as the wrong claims sent to you or the wrong bills being billed to you, for instance, being billed $865 for a car tune-up when the cost was $367, etc.), accidents (i.e. car crash, freak accident at work, nearly setting the microwave on fire, etc.), the sudden reappearance of people from your past (exes, ex-friends, old friends/long lost friends, and unexpected communication with people, e.g. estranged parents or siblings), even in dreams (people from your past showing up), intense, vivid dreams, misleading job offers or changes in job standing (missed job opportunity, being fired, being rehired, untimely lay-off, unhappiness with new job, conflict with superiors, unsatisfactory changes in job position/role), potential for conflict with spouses, partners, or colleagues (interpersonal drama), sudden relationship offers/fast-moving romantic relationships or the decline and/or separation, even break-up of a romantic relationship, ambiguous situations, the resurgence of memories of trauma and unresolved crises, and breakdowns in appliances (i.e. household utilities, TV set, television router, lamp, washing machine, etc.).

ASTRO NEWS

Upcoming events:

Lunar eclipse on June 5th, 2020 in 15 degrees Sagittarius (will affect everyone but especially mutable placements, Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, Sagittarius). Full moon @ 3:12 p.m. EDT. Effects can be felt on June 6th.

Mercury goes retrograde in Cancer on June 18, 2020

Solar eclipse on June 21, 2020 (energy will be felt on June 20th as well). New moon @ 2:41 a.m. EDT in 0 degrees Cancer. Cardinal signs should be particularly mindful (Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn).

Venus goes direct on June 25, 2020

Lunar eclipse on July 4th (American Independence Day), 2020 in 13 degrees Capricorn. Full moon @ 12:44 a.m. EDT on July 5th, 2020. Eclipses that fall on a full moon typically have larger scale repercussions because full moons signify endings/something coming to a close. I wonder what this means for America, especially in the midst of a crisis and a large scale public response to the viruses of Covid-19 and racism. Hopefully there is some kind of positive resolution, but I’m leaning toward negative at the time being, just based on a preliminary assessment of the transits at this time. This eclipse will affect everyone, especially cardinal placements (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn). Be mindful of that fact that the transits at this time mirror, astrologically, the transits that occurred on 9/11, 19 years ago.

Super New Moon on October 16, 2020 at 3:31 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) in 23 degrees Libra (how fitting!). Cardinal signs (Libra, Aries, Cancer, Capricorn) should feel this heavily.

Lunar eclipse on November 29, 2020. Full moon on November 30, 2020 @ 4:30 a.m. EST in 8 degrees Gemini. Mutable placements (Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces, Virgo) will likely be the most impacted.

Total Solar eclipse on December 14, 2020 @ 11:16 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) in 23 degrees Sagittarius. New moon. Mutable placements will be strongly affected (Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius).

The following events will happen a long time from now in the future, but be on the look out!

March/April 2021: retrograde Pluto conjoins the natal Pluto of the U.S.A.

May 26, 2021: total eclipse of the moon

June 10, 2021: solar eclipse

November 19, 2021: lunar eclipse

December 4, 2021: total eclipse of the sun

February 19, 2022: The U.S. experiences its Pluto return in Capricorn (think American Revolution—is there potential for not just riots, but civil rebellion again?) On February 20th, Pluto will be direct. Side effects will be strong in March 2022.

July 11, 2022: The U.S. experiences its Pluto return in Capricorn while Pluto is retrograde (think civil uprising, what happened over 250 years ago, when Americans won their independence). Lingering effects will be felt in September 2022.

December 29, 2022: The U.S. experiences its Pluto return for the third time. Pluto is direct.

Note: I will update this post as we draw closer to the events listed.

Happy eclipse day! 2:38-2:41 a.m. EDT! Cancer Szn!

*this eclipse will be particularly intense because it falls in one of the critical degrees (0 degrees Cancer)

So the eclipse on June 5th is occurring while the Sun and Venus are in Gemini and the Moon is in Sagittarius (which is ruled by Mars), and the moon will be squaring Mars on that day. Prepare yourself for intense energy and conflict on both a micro and macro level. Outbursts may be common, provoked or unprovoked. It may be unclear what instigated it, but it will be sure to prompt a swift, and dramatic, if not violent reaction. My advice would be to avoid battles and disagreements because they could blow up and metamorph into very serious, potentially destructive episodes and lead to catastrophic changes and [negative] consequences. That being said, the cosmic energy is currently such that I, unfortunately, am expecting and dreading terrible events/sequence of events to occur during and after this period. The energy of the eclipse is longlasting, of course, so we will see the effects long after June 5th. Perhaps an exercise in caution is best at this time. Remember, it is not always safe to engage in your emotions when the environment does not support your engagement. I sense a lot of aggression will be unpacked for times to come. Very chaotic and raw, unbridled emotions/actions WILL lead to violence during this time.

Just a reminder to check your transits/houses to see where the eclipse falls in. Remember the eclipse is in 15 degrees Sagittarius, so if you have planets on the angles (i.e. the angular houses—1, 4, 7, 10) in mutable signs (Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius), you might see that this is where the energy from the eclipse is concentrated/manifests in your life.

In general, if the eclipse falls in your 12th house, themes involving trauma or past repressed events/experiences, as well as episodes concerning healing from the past may arise, as well as pain and other feelings revolving around the experience or perception of self-isolation or alienation. You may feel lost or abandoned in some way, or, alternatively, you may reconcile with past experiences of abandonment and identity crisis. This eclipse may offer an opportunity to unpack such [negative, defeating] feelings and experiences. If you’ve been suffering from some time, this eclipse might signify an end to this personal suffering and a chance for self-reemergence. Dreams may be very strong and vivid and perhaps violent at this time, and painful reminders may submerge, but this is a merely a reminder of your own resilience. Pay attention to what thoughts come up in your subconscious mind at this time and write down your dreams. This is no coincidence. Process what happens or what has happened to you. Recover. Reimagine. Heal. You are resilient.

If the eclipse falls in your eleventh house, you might be more concerned with the collective and feel an urgency to get more involved with the world. You might also feel that friend groups are intensified at this time, negatively or positively. You may fall out with a close friend or reconsider the company you keep/hang around, or, you may former deeper attachments and connections at this time. You may feel the need to rely on the support of a mentor or become a mentor or healer to others who require those services. There might be changes in your inner circle, or you might feel the need to address issues within your larger community, on both a micro and macro level. You may get involved with many social organizations and causes at this time, whether by donating or participating. Themes of solidarity, community, and social cohesion or integration are important at this time. You might also be pondering what is sustainable and feel more inclined to submit to humanitarian impulses. Now is a good time to give back to the community or look up certain charities. If you are feeling unsatisfied with your personal development or feeling disconnected from your purpose, they might become aware to you. If you’ve been feeling like something has been missing in your life for a while now and have been ignoring it or avoiding dealing with it, it will be impossible to ignore/deny or avoid at this time. Your attitude toward life, beyond your commitment to the activities in your life and even your attitude toward social justice and activism may change during this time. If you’re unsettled, know that it’s okay to be unsettled, but do the work to figure out why. What do you need to feel more comfortable in your position? What do you need to feel like you have a voice in the world? How might you contribute something larger to the world while honoring your self? How might you discover your motivations for being a part of whatever group you currently identify with? What is failing you, and how have you failed yourself? Take the time to reflect and make valuable changes.

If the eclipse falls in your tenth house, you might be thinking of making changes or transformations in your work life, or, you might be pondering whether or not to alter your work/life balance. Issues could arise in the workplace, but not everything may be related to your career. The eclipse falling here might also represent a turning point in your current chosen path, whether or not that is your life path or your career path. It might represent a new opportunity or obstacle you didn’t anticipate. It might mean you having to make tough decisions or compromises. You might have to choose between taking action that could potentially benefit you whilst causing you to have to sacrifice something else you hold dear or taking action that might not please your family or neighbors or friends, but could benefit you in the long run. You might be swayed to consider other realities and possibilities you hadn’t imagined before. You might be approached with offers (doesn’t have to be job-related, just material in nature) that you were expecting or were not expecting. Whatever decision you make, think wisely, because I get the feeling this decision will hold a great deal of gravity/weight for your future. Whatever you choose now will have lasting implications and may re-arise in future occasions. This is also a good time to rebrand or revamp your image, but if you’re going to do so, make sure you’re consciously altering it instead of drastically making overnight changes. The more original you come off, the better. If your intention is to deceive, you’ll be caught. Transparency is key at this time. Now is also a beneficial time to tap into your social awareness. If there were aspects of your self or public behavior you needed to change/modify about yourself, now is a good time. Past errors and mistakes may come back to haunt you and be reflected in how others (superiors, the public, authority figures, i.e. bosses, etc.) may see you. Now is also a time of heightened government, heightened action, tension, public engagement, and heightened voyerurism and documentation. There will be less privacy and a lot of actions will be brought to public attention. You might find yourself having to apologize more or address certain topics you thought were long past. People might attempt to hold a mirror to you. A lot of people with planets that make malefic contacts might find themselves with egg on their face, especially if they have prominent public/social/Internet personalities, channels, or faces, especially those experiencing harsh Pluto transits. Openness to change and experience is beneficiary and encouraged at this time.

Expect to see a lot of announcements, and in that vein, know that any action or behavior from you seen as unwarranted or egregious will be publicly brought to attention and/or announced. Don’t let anyone make an example of you. Now is also not the time to use practices such as intimidation or manipulation to get what you want. Deception will backfire on you. Spectatorship is common at this time. For those of you with strong public reputations or relations, I recommend discernment at this time. Try to avoid discord with powerful/important people, or otherwise attempt to disengage. Failure to do so can result in damaging repercussions and even fractured relationships. I do see a potential for a clash with authorities or a skittle/incident. Positively, I can also see many people digesting positive news in their public and social lives at this time, possibly related to their private life. Some people have opportunities for employment, especially those who have been dying to be hired. I see thoughts of changing vocations, for others, actual changes that may or may not materialize, and avenues to be pursued in terms of seeking public recognition. You may be guided in your aspirations by others who could be a great source of assurance or assurance for you, or you may be finally recognized for your achievements if you’ve been awaiting this right now. For others of you, it may come as a shock, but someone with a great deal of power or influence is either attempting to help you or working very hard to undermine you at this time, though, it might be unbeknownst to you who it is until it is consequently revealed to you in the most altering and unsuspecting ways. This might have damaging or unbelievably rewarding consequences upon your social station/esteem. Not all consequences could be devastating, but it’s good to exercise caution and hold people at a safe distance. If your guard is up, you may identify who is acting suspicion or not working in your best interests.

For those with the eclipse in the 9th house, I see a lot of opportunity for self-engagement and self-growth/human development. A lot of people are going to be expressing devotion toward objectives related to discovering who they are as a person and feel motivated, perhaps, to pursue aims and aspirations about what they need to further their personal goals in life, as well as raising objections to what they find utterly unconscionable. You might feel stirred to engage in social discourse about social injustice and other social ills, currently. Furthermore, you might re-examine how much you value a place of work, ideology, or [social] institution at this time. I also see the potential to alight paths of spirituality or reject them at this time and find alternative sources of faith. Some of you may reach out to God or reconnect with sources of worship or even find your way back to church. More of you may have some kind of struggle with your faith/belief system, whether this is a religious or ideological belief in nature. Something may happen that causes you to either reckon with or contest this knowledge at this time. Hope, healing, justice, and redemption may be themes in your personal lives, and you may be vindicated in your professional life. Now is a time to pursue what you are truly passionate about. Others may feel a strong sense of “knowing” (intuition) at this time. Trust it and let it guide you. Trust, also, in your angels (for those of you who believe in them). Faith can be a huge source of comfort and inspiration at this time. Now is also a refreshing and useful time to create and engage with intellectual projects. For positive reasons or negative ones, you might find yourself in the limelight. Creativity is fostered by introspection and perhaps civic engagement at this time. Some of you may struggle with a sense of meaning, but work to remove self-limiting and self-defeating beliefs at this time through clarity produced from supportive conversations with trusted idols, friends, family members, and other figures in your life. You may be asked to recount certain past experiences but they may offer an unexpected source of light and even procure you an unexpected and advantageous opportunity. Knowledge gained at this time may give you an advantage for a future outcome you have awaited and prepared for, for quite some time now. You might be pleasantly surprised by whatever insights you gain at this time, and you can use it to your advantage if you hone it in at this time. Now is a great time to curate your visual and innovative projects as well as begin the process of unraveling personal narratives—you may see opportunities in education arise, specifically. Now is also a valuable time to attune into your current life philosophy and figure out whether this is hurting or helping you. Is something holding you back? Why? And why have you allowed it to keep you stuck before? Wherever you have felt stuck before, you may come unglued. Authenticity is your greatest asset now, and the most lucid theme for this eclipse, the next being mental expansion and exploration. I recommend identity development and mental road mapping.

Mental journeys are common now. It’s a great time to learn who you have been and understand why you became that person. It’s not too late to change into who you want to be, and if you are comfortable in who you are, now is the perfect time to step into who you are and just be your authentic self instead of feeling as though you have to perform a certain role. Just be yourself. You’ve been feeling like you have to fight for something in your life or fight against a particular circumstance for a while now. This will suddenly be revealed to you, and it might also become apparent that the person you have been fighting is yourself. Trust yourself. Have confidence in your choices and abilities, and take that leap. It will be advantageous to you. I mostly see benefits arising from self-illumination and immaterial, abstract processes at this time, but this, of course, could manifest into concrete, tangible, perhaps even financial gains, as well. Just know you are leaving instability or directionlessness behind, especially those of you with Sagittarius on the 9th house cusp. Now is the time to pick a path and stick to it and embrace the stability and continuity you’ve always wanted. You’ve always had the choice. If you hesitate or remain indecisive, incontinuity may soon follow as a repercussion, especially when Mercury enters retrograde on the 18th. Leave or depart from traditions of falling claim to mental roadblocks. Strategize new opportunities for change. I think you will have success.

For those of you with the eclipse in the 8th house, I see the potential for self-renewal and regeneration or identity reformation. You’re strengthening your core values and coming to terms with your emotions and your bodily responses to your emotions. There may be upheaval revolving intimate connections or past romantic or sex partners. Trigger warning: I’m feeling especially attuned to survivors/victims of sexual abuse right now: I see people reaching out to, exposing, and/or publicly identifying their abusers. This could mean drama, large or small, varying from slight fall-outs to big blow-ups, or they could be as minor as losing contact for good, i.e blocking each other on social media or cellular devices. You might experience some sort of reconnection (negative or positive) with a past partner or previous entanglement (especially an on-and-off one from the vibes I’m getting, though, it could be a one-time encounter) you had from a very long time ago (think a year/a year and a half ago or more/longer). They may show up in your life unexpectedly, you may reach out on your own volition for some urgent reason, or you may feel called to act/respond because something provoked you to speak out. You might castigate or berate them or find yourself battered (not physically, but psychically, energetically, and emotionally) by them. Although the interaction may be tenuous and draining, it may ultimately bring you peace or [conflict] resolution, even if the closure comes in the form of you too never speaking to each other again. I’m feeling like the connection being brought up again is with someone you shared a very intimate, psychic or perhaps sexual relationship with, or someone who significantly impacted your psyche and even potentially caused you trauma (emotional, mental, sexual, etc.) or psychological damage. If this connection re-triggers you, do be sure to seek the appropriate services (therapy, counseling, authorities, if needed and necessary), allow yourself to heal and invite forgiveness into your life—self-forgiveness: by this, I mean to say, forgive yourself for what happened to you. In order to bring yourself peace, just remind yourself that you owe no one forgiveness or understanding, but you owe yourself both at all times. You are feeling and embracing the need to call out people who hurt you and hold them accountable during this time, as you should. Just be prepared for them not to react in a cute and cuddly way. They might terrorize and attempt to defraud you or name you a liar or a terrible person. They will flip the script on you if they can. And since I’m always honest, just know to prepare, in some instances, of being disbelieved if you are to speak up about your trauma, and expect, also, unfortunately, being publicly gaslit or lambasted. Don’t let this stop you from telling your story and enacting justice and healing for yourself, however. You own whatever happened to you.

I also see people from either March or May of this year, June of last year and November-December of last year or May of 2018 potentially showing up in your life, suddenly/dramatically. They may claim to wish to make amends and forsake the past and promise they’re a changed or better person. Whether or not you actually believe and reconcile with this person is up to you. For this feeling, I’m not sure if it’s a universal message or just a message for those with the eclipse in the 8th, so I’m placing the feeling here. I feel like the person coming back or trying to come back is probably one that shouldn’t, however; I’m getting psychic vampire (some say: energy vampire) vibes from them. What I know for sure is that this individual, whether or not they’ve changed, is someone that has brought you a great deal of pain and hurt you tremendously (perhaps even, repeatedly) before. Please don’t open your heart and capacity for forgiveness unto people who have shamelessly traumatized you. If they caused you trauma, let them go. It’s not always about “being the bigger person.” Sometimes being the bigger person means being the smartest person: which is the person who is strong enough to recognize when something or someone is bad news.

Beyond those somewhat intense messages, I also see great opportunities for reenergizing and reconnecting with positive sources. I see a lot of potential for metaphysical activity or even occult activity at this time, strong sexual, psychic, and personal desires, and urges for liberation and rebirth. I also see an opportunity to visualize shedding the death of an old self for good so as to free oneself from a past version of selfhood that didn’t do one any favors. Some of you may be very sensitive to the threat of violence or victimization at this time, and death, of course, is a theme, but not necessarily in terms of literal death, but in terms of the death of a relationship or persona or dream or struggle or consciousness, which leads way to a resurrection of self and consciousness. I see an opportunity to reclaim power and happiness. Empowerment may come in the form of identity reclamation or through unexpected finances, intensely positive social relationships/positive support networks and protective factors, industry, and fulfilling experiences within one’s social and mental life. Physical activity (i.e. sex, gym/exercise, eating) may be particularly pleasurable at this time, or it may be the focus. Pay in-depth attention to your spiritual health at this time, just as much or even more than your physical health. How are you feeling? Where do you feel spiritually weak, uncentered or ungrounded? Where do you feel susceptible to attack or defenseless? What energies are destabilizing you in your life, and how you can counteract them with practices that center them? What grounding techniques can you implement? Is it productive to revisit the past? Check signs of spiritual and physical sickness or poor well-being. Feeling depressed? Unstable? Anxious? Physically sore? Restless? Defeated? Check in with your self. Adjust your attitude toward asking for help. Now is also the time to pay up any debts, if you have any, because they may become a thorn in your back, later. Be patient with yourself. It also wouldn’t hurt to check on your sexual health, and for women, your reproductive health. Also, take the time to ask yourself: what does my body need right now? Space? Movement? Repositioning? Alignment? Rest? Food? Exercise? And remember: you can’t rush healing. Also, track: where does your mind go when it travels? When you daydream? When you zone out? This may tell you a lot about yourself and indicate signs, much deeper, about where you’re going and where you’ve been. Take the time to deconstruct your body and its silence. Its signals and its language. This is also the time to not just examine, but accept uneasy emotions. If you’re angry, get angry. If you’re grieving, process your grief. Allow yourself to grieve, rage, and be happy. Check in on your loved ones as well, especially those with ailing health. The theme for you is consciousness, more specifically, integration of consciousness.

For those with the eclipse in the 7th house, you might feel urged to reevaluate your relationships and take the time to imagine whether they are working the way you desire them to. You might contemplate the utility of your romantic relationships and even question the character or integrity of your partner. You might ask: is this someone I can trust? Is this someone I can build a future with? Is this someone I can rely on? You might find yourself entering conflict with partners, especially if you’ve been secretly experiencing dissatisfaction with the relationship for quite some time now. You might feel the need to address issues that have gone unaddressed. Your relationship is more likely to fall apart if you’re with someone you love but don’t like most of the time or someone you like most of the time but can’t respect because of xyz issue, and so on. You might question your partner’s commitment to the relationship, and vice versa. You might question their alliance to you, their values, and their faith or even fidelity. Their loyalty and dependability. You might ask: is my partner reliable? Does my partner make me feel safe? Is this a healthy relationship? Can I trust my partner with my life? If you’ve hit the 6 or 7 year mark in your relationship, especially, because of the Saturn-Pluto contacts/transits currently, you might be tempted to hit the breaks. Those of you with ongoing lawsuits or court cases may arrive to some kind of settlement or agreement. Whether or not the outcome is positive or negative for you depends on your individual charts and where planets are located (as well as what aspects they make, and so on). Your individual transits obviously play a role, additionally. If you’re open to reconciliation with any person, now is a good time to go about it, but if you’ve had a contentious relationship or tumultuous history with that person in the past, my recommendation is to try outside mediation first. This doesn’t necessarily apply to legal terms or arbitration, I simply mean, for example, if you desire to reach out to, say, an ex, for example, perhaps having your friend reach out to his friend and see if he is open to conversing with you. This would be a much smoother path to working issues out than directly reaching out if you have a bad history with the person you may be motivated or compelled to reach out to at this time. Otherwise, I would advise there is no need for outside intervention or mediation. Still, take the time to consider which relationships (romantic or business), including friendships, may be worth saving at this time. Others may need to be peacefully abandoned.

If you’re considering cutting ties, doing so in a friendly way is advisable. If you do it in a malicious way, it may come back to bite you: remember that this eclipse is ruled by Mars, the planet of aggression and dispute. Conflict is on the rise at this time, you want to avoid fanning the flames, rather than throwing kerosene on them. Take deliberate but pragmatic action. Try not to be hostile. Softness and tenderness will do wonders at this time, but if that cannot be managed, tact is always welcomed. Intensity will look like hostility at this time. Pay particular attention to your one-on-one relationships; also, paying special attention to the needs of your best friends who may or may not be open with some of the challenges they’re currently facing or experiencing may be greatly appreciated at this time. Remember you don’t need a tragedy or emergency to happen to perform a wellness check. Check in on your friends once in a while is what I normally advise, but during these challenging times, more is better. Actively be a part of your friends’ lives and remind them you care. Your focus may be on others at this time, but remember to send yourself some self-love and self-care, as well. Better learn to establish and balance your needs with others/theirs. You should be a priority in your life, but others’ needs matter, too. Just don’t treat your own needs as secondary, and don’t neglect your responsibilities to other humans! Work on your communication, too. This skill will be needed to resolve any potential disputes that may arise. I suspect certain conflicts are on the horizon, some of which have been brewing for some time, but somebody, maybe you, has been trying to keep the peace. Something as little as a slight difference in views at this time may provoke a large argument. Don’t fan the fumes. Exit the smoking car! Relationships could very much go through breaks and break-ups or otherwise encounter obstacles and tests. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, return to the source of your doubt and remind yourself of your motivations for being in the relationship or your reasions for caring. Go upriver or detour. Decide whether it’s time to step away and pull or peel back from relationships or hold tight. The theme of this eclipse is related to partnerships, but partnering is not just about intimate or even romantic relationships, it’s also about the self! Especially if you are self-partnered. Seclusion may be your instinct, but it might cause others to feel as though you don’t care, so strive to make an effort to be present and engaged.

For those of you with the eclipse in the sixth house, you may particularly be sensitive to the events happening inside your body at this time. If you’ve been experiencing a great deal of stress right now, especially racial-based stress, you’ll feel it in your body, in the form of headaches, back aches, abdomen stitches, general body aches, chronic pain or soreness, and it may manifest into physical illness. You might also face new, unexpected situations in work and may be expected to make compromises you find unfair or unfitting. You may be frustrated with your colleagues or the higher-ups, or otherwise disgruntled with the pace or atmosphere of your work, workspace, or place of work. You’re going to be placing a great deal of attention upon your work environment or your company’s culture. If you’ve been out of work/found yourself unemployed as a result of coronavirus, I see that some of you may find yourself approached with news that you can return to or otherwise recover those jobs. This will be a relief for many of you, but it may turn out to be a disappointment later when Mercury enters retrograde on June 18th. There may be components of the job that have changed as a result of the circumstances that may make your life/job harder in a myriad of ways.

The eclipse in the 6th house may also urge you to reconsider your health. If you’ve been suffering mentally or physically, it’s going to show up now, and the reminder will be persistent. You may find yourself faced with certain surprises, health crises, or even possible emergency situations if you neglect your body at this time. Consider not only sources of physical pain, but sources of mental fatigue when attempting to increase your energy and vitality. Monitor your health and any signs of decay or illness. Decline or frustration with work or life can show up in many ways in our everyday lives, as well as in our perceptions of our body. This is also the time to search for ways of improving the self, one’s social health, and one’s happiness and overall well-being. Determine the greatest contributing factor to feeling well and implement it. Determine the greatest contributing factor to feeling poor and work to get rid of it or minimize its influence. Increase the effectiveness of your efforts by engaging in activities known to increase physical wellness, such as fitness, good nutrition, and hydration. Go to the doctor if you’re feeling unwell. Change your daily habits and routines if they’re unproductive to your overall well-being. If reading the news everyday causes you mental anguish and vicarious trauma, stop checking it everyday. Try a couple days a week. Limit the amount of time you spend on social media. Engage in pleasant activities you enjoy. This may be listening to music or cooking, sculpting or drawing, painting and making pottery and other arts and crafts, singing, dancing, journaling, watching cartoons, socializing, etc. You have a duty to yourself before you have a duty to work or others. Make sure you’re putting yourself first. Prioritize your health and happiness above all else. Make time for yourself. Downsize certain obligations. Anticipate changes in work routines/schedules and even employment. Just as I said I see many people rejoining the workforce, I also see many people having their hours cut or otherwise experiencing some reduction in either hours or pay. Prepare for undesirable health or work outcomes and do your best to cope with them. Seek help if needed. The theme of this eclipse is health and wellness. Consider, also, what is of best service to you (opportune) at this time.

For those of you with the eclipse in the 5th house, now is the time to consider what you want, what you need, and what gives you joy. Whatever arouses your passion is what motivates your interest. Whatever is capable of this enlivens, entices, energizes, and intrigues you. Now is the time to engage in playful activity. Leisure, recreation, and excitement are your three main pleasure principles. Me time is important, creativity is important, having fun and playing games is imperative, keeping your spirit high is important, and receiving gifts or surprises is just icing on the cake. Your task is to find a way to incorporate these elements into your life, especially considering the stresses of the current pandemic and everything else happening in the world. You need to devote your energy to the existence of whatever makes you feel happy to be alive and whatever makes you jovial and celebratory. This is the time to celebrate your achievements and your potential. It’s the time to champion your abilities. More importantly, it’s the time to champion your humanity. Remind the world who you are. Show them your name, your intelligence, your creativity and innovation. Embrace your inner star [power.] What does empowerment look like for you? Is it finding yourself a hobby to excel at? Is it finding the profound, sacred, and profane, and making sense of your experiences? Is it your ability to uncover pleasure? Is it found in romance and dating? Is it found in inspiring children or raising them? Untap whatever drives you and use it to impel your movement and position in society. Use it to make a bold statement about how real, valid, important, and exceptional your existence is. Use it to prove to yourself and never the world how valuable you are, how powerful you are, and how worthy you are of acknowledgment and life and celebration. Demonstrate your excellence without hesitation so no one can take it away from you. Channel your childlike joy without inhibition. Joy is the pathway to liberation. The theme of this eclipse is personal empowerment and the pursuit of passion. Unlocking one’s inner child is the doorway to self-discovery and the key to freedom. I didn’t feel the need to mention it, but it goes without saying that short dalliances and romantic flings or perhaps no-strings attachments may be pursued now.

For those of you with the eclipse in the 4th house, you may see energy focused around family matters. Beyond matters concerning family life, there be the potential for strife with those one considers family, such as very close friends or perhaps godparents. Struggles with parents may be common at this time, too. Particularly with mom if the moon is involved and dad if Saturn is involved, but remember it could go either way, especially when considering the influence of the other planets. This is the time to think about your inner self and examine what makes you feel at home and whether or not you currently feel that way in your contemporary life. If not, you need to ask yourself: what do I need to feel at home in the world? What do I need to feel at home within my own household? What do I need to feel secure in life? You might consider a change in address(es). You might consider relocation in a larger scale, e.g. a move from Florida to Texas. You might need to alter your physical home environment, i.e. by redecorating the kitchen or cleaning your room, or by putting plants in the office or creating a meditation room, etc. You might repaint your bedroom and add furniture to the living room or make your house or apartment/living space more minimalist in decor. You might go for a more homey look or a complete change in pace. You might start some construction projects and tear down the second bedroom or start a demolition project for the garage. You might renovate your basement. Or, you might add a ceiling fan in the formal dining room, place artwork in the bathroom, buy a new fridge, and go from pastel grays, pinks, blues, and greens, marble floors and white tiles, fluorescent lighting and dark carpeting to neon lights, redwoods or brown wood panels (flooring), granite countertops, bright reds and scarlets, burning mahogany, dark golds, and blacks, or perhaps go from country-chic and mid-Western rustic to Moroccan palace. You might become more enigmatic about your private life; alternatively, you might become more open about who you’re dating and even introduce them to your family/take the next steps if you haven’t yet. Conversely, you might take a step back in your relationship if it’s becoming too serious so as to slow it down, or you might become more secretive about your partner and downplay the seriousness of your relationship.

At this point in time, you are probably preoccupied with emotional safety and physical security. It’s important to pay attention to what patterns arise at this time concerning stability, order, structure, and your idea of consistency or foundation. What is the foundation of your relationship? What is the foundation of your home life? What is the foundation of your values? Where are they solid and where are they vulnerable? What can they be crippled by? What are you doing to ‘safeguard’ yourself, protect yourself, wall people out or lock them in? What are you doing to make yourself feel safe and secure, and what makes you feel like there is a threat to your safety? Now is also a great time to rediscover your roots. Remind yourself of what makes you ‘you.’ Read your favorite literature. Your favorite poet or author. Return to the place that makes you feel at home, maybe it’s your partner’s home or simply your individual partner, maybe it’s the library, maybe it’s the beach, when you’re collecting seashells, maybe it’s your bed or your bathtub, maybe it’s the kitchen when you’re making your grandma’s infamous coffee cake or the restaurant where you had your first date, or maybe it’s at the dinner table with your favorite sibling, bonding over Uno and sliced bread. Maybe it’s just a sentiment. It’s a cozy sweater, a warm meal, your oldest trinket, the look of your house upon entry, your grandmother’s smile, your sister’s crooked glasses, your brother’s favorite blanket, your boyfriend’s car, a long drive, a hug. Maybe it’s a handwritten letter or an expensive bracelet. Your favorite dress, your lucky socks. Maybe it’s a smell. Like freshly baked lasagna, your mother’s cherry perfume, your vanilla wafer. Maybe it’s whatever fills you with longing, nostalgia, or even despair. The theme of this eclipse is belonging, security, and solidifying connection to whatever makes you feel “at home.”

For those of you with the eclipse in the 3rd house, communication may be the theme. Relationships with siblings may also be at the forefront at this time, and much attention may be paid to intellectual pursuits, such as activities pertaining to reading, writing, creating, innovating, designing, computing, or intellectualizing. Intellectualism is obviously a dominant focus at this time, but now is also a good time to reflect upon one’s mindset and reconsider cognitive frames that no longer benefit or serve one. To be of service to oneself, one has to be critical of oneself to a certain extent, but consider how this ceases to be productive or beneficial when one fails to generate any sort of meaningful activity from this intense investigation. Sometimes we spend so much time focusing on what we’re thinking that we fail to construct a message because too little action is performed in accordance to the desired intention. We ought to spend less time thinking and more time verbalizing. The capacity for miscommunication is high at this time, so it is important that people experiencing this transit take great pains to be as lucid as possible when articulating their thoughts, desires, and intentions. Learning how to be an effective communicator (whether in speaking or writing) is beneficial to one during this period. The theme of this eclipse is related to improving upon one’s communicative abilities. Now is also a good time to invest in or contribute cultural products and share one’s ideas or artistic enterprises, skills, and contributions. Imaginative abilities and prowess will be celebrated and encouraged at this time.

For those of you with the eclipse in the 2nd house, you may be experiencing worry about your finances or the potential loss of your savings. Beyond monetary fears, you may be feeling weighed down by material concerns such as bills, mortgages, upkeep of living faculties, quality of life, air, food, or water, and a dearth of resources. You may also feel overwhelmed with your past expenses and current spending, or you may be faced with an unfortunate situation that takes an unexpected blow upon your financial stability status. Your financial situation, if not worrisome, may cross the line into dire, but if you have positive transits or planets making beneficial aspects, such as having transiting Jupiter in the 2nd, for instance, you may be relieved from the burden of financial stress and may even find money coming your way. Those of who you are eligible for outside relief from whatever organization or institution (i.e. higher education or government) may suddenly find that stripped away, or, conversely, find yourself alleviated of much financial need as a result of this help. You might also have an outside benefactor (i.e. friend, neighbor, parent, or anonymous donator) chip in and help your financial straits. If you’re not concerned with assets or money at this time, anything related to physical security, primarily, is going to occupy your mind. You might not feel safe in your physical body or safe in your home. You may be worried about your businesses; you may also suffer a loss as a result of damages to your property or businesses. You may be fearful of physically losing your life. These losses or fear of losses may set you back, but they will not ultimately prevent you from making/securing a living, though, they will either jeopardize you or make it difficult for you, somehow. Now is the time to lean on others for support, emotionally, physically, and financially. Asking for help if you need it is never a weakness. Now is also a great time to enable yourself to use your resourcefulness and quick thinking or problem-solving capacities to get yourself out of tricky situations and overcome setbacks. If you’re crafty, you can come up with inventive ways to generate new sources of income. You can freelance. You can offer your services and charge for them. You can ask for donations and extra funds. You can sell products on Etsy or commission art. You can also use your resources to help gather funds for others who need it. Crowdfunding is made much easier here, during this transit. It will be much easier to locate potential sources of assistance and be supported in your efforts.

Beyond this dimension of stability (financial security), you will be experiencing a sudden emphasis upon your value system which might provoke you to process your self-attitudes. You might take the time to truly dive into potentially triggering episodes so as to understand why, for example, you have low self-esteem. You may focus upon rebuilding your self-confidence at this time and affirming your worth. Finding material security might mean something more than having a home or having a partner or having food or having friends or having money, it might mean honing in on values that attract these needs into one’s life. It might mean reshaping one’s beliefs and worldview and increasing one’s self-knowledge. It might entail giving up some possessions in order to get others. The theme of this eclipse is temerity, endurance and perseverance, and it may almost certainly involve restructuring or rethinking one’s life and/or one’s valuables. Self-sacrifice is also a theme that may emerge. Earthiness is accepted and expected. But just as one with the eclipse in the 12th house may feel the need to retreat from the world at this time, someone with this transit in the 2nd needs to transcend this current reality or struggle that is oppressing them and liberate themselves by acknowledging perhaps undesirable feelings and situations they would rather repress.

For those with the eclipse in the 1st house, rebuilding and re-centering one’s self-concept is the main goal during this time. One is concerned with one’s self-orientation, but also concerned about how this image reflects upon the world. One might feel the need to make changes with one’s appearance at this time, which may involve physically changing one’s look or dressing differently or dyeing one’s hair color. It may involve changing one’s energy or aura (lightening up the mood) or altering one’s facial expressions to communicate more feeling and interest. It might involve experimenting with wigs or makeup or alternative styles and branding. It might involve modifying one’s demeanor, manner, persona, image, or approach to the world. One might play up a certain character and adopt a certain look—a manufactured one. May not feel real or may be accused of acting out of the ordinary, as if “acting out of character” makes one unreal. One may be typified or typecast or act as if costumed (not physically wearing a costume, psychologically). One might change their footsteps or mannerisms, their facial or bodily/physical movements, the way they sit, the way they talk, the way they clasp their arms or hands, the way they socialize, etc. It might involve changing one’s social self and social performance. Energy is related to one’s social impression. Just as one with an eclipse in the 11th house may use their personhood as an organizing tool, someone with a 1st house transit may mobilize their physical appearance or outward psychic appearance into social or physical activity. One’s self-awareness and subjective emotional experience is highlighted at this time. Particular focus will remain on one’s self-identity, but identity may be difficult to resolve at this time due to one wearing a particular mask that conceals the genuine character of the individual. Individuals at this time may appear to undergo an identity crisis; they may act unsocial when previously extroverted. They may act rebellious when previously shy and expressive of conformity to social norms. They may act out when previously well-behaved. They may transform from goth/gothic skater girl to peppy princess, etc. Personal transformations are common, though, they may be very superficial in nature; however, they will appear very intense and radical. Change will come as a surprise, a dramatic and unaccounted for and unaccepted one.

Keeping with the energy of melodrama, melodramatic outer expressions will have consequences upon the outer world/social world, which will examine the self critically and perhaps oddly, though, inquisitively. The self-image is projected onto others and in this way, seems less natural and genuine. A genuine desire for change may surface, but one’s self-expression may actually prevent one from being seen or heard or validated in society, especially if one’s personal expression is not perceived well. Don’t be surprised if these changes are rendered artificial or deemed irrational. Change may not be tolerated. One could be ostracized or made a loner, the oddball out. One might be disparaged even as one is seemingly accepted. One’s self seems ambiguous at this time, hard to pin down. Others’ assessment of their character might change at this time as a result. Don’t be surprised to hear “you’re not who I thought you were” or “I feel like I don’t even know you anymore” or “who are you?” or “I feel like you’ve deceived me” or “it’s not natural” or “you don’t even know who you are anymore.” People might have difficulty seeing you for who you really are and coming to terms or peace with you at this time. You might experience rejection when all you want is acceptance. You might not even have to drastically alter or even modify your appearance at all for people to act as if you’ve somehow changed in ways they cannot fathom, understand, or accept. This might cause you to feel lonely and alienated, alone in the world, an outsider perhaps. You might feel exiled or strained or unwanted, like someone with a transit in the 12th house. The theme of this eclipse encompasses embracing vulnerability, but it is mostly related to increased subjectivity. Your sense of self will experience tension. You will experience a heightened sense of self-awareness and social awareness. Make sure not to be crippled or ashamed by others’ responses to you and try to stay true to who you are instead of trying to be someone else or trying to fit into a certain mold. Internal identity confusion might manifest into outward confusion, manipulation, or obsession with physical appearance. Embodiment will also be a recurring theme at this time. The question of who am I? may persist, and you may consistently struggle to have inward peace with your individuality because of others’ reckoning of your individuation.

Note: my advice to all is to make sure what you’re doing, participating or believing in, and pursuing is organic at this time. Anything that is not may be purged or taken from you at this time, or it may come to your attention that certain situations aren’t as well-meaning, whole, or good as you previously thought they were. It’s time to critically explore and unpack the social realities of everything you observe and participate in, from your relationships, to your own self-processes, to the events happening in the world. Failure to notice will bring consequences (inaction is not an option).

The eclipse may be pertaining to:

The sun: identity/ego confrontation and high vitality. Feeling of being indomitable and having goals to conquer. Desire to live well, perhaps even, outlandishly. Desire to be recognized and respected. Desire to feel seen. Struggle to assert self, but assertiveness could lend favorable results. Feeling bored in one’s own life could cause to feel stifled at this time; more than ever, this transit causes one to feel motivated to make changes if one’s life is characterized by dissatisfaction. Desire to be celebrated. Envious. Assured and confident. May be arrogant or feel superior. May be creative and fulfilled, may seek partnership. May be concerned with image.

The moon: emotions and home life or family affairs. Emotional highs and lows and acute sensitivity. Consistency and stability may be low and hard to find. May struggle to feel validated at this time. May desire comfort and adoration and attention. Needs to feel listened to and protected. May feel torn in a myriad of directions. May take on the emotional burdens of others. Emotional eating may be common. Issues with health or parents may appear. If one is the mom friend or maternal in nature, one will struggle to have patience with individuals in one’s life who one feels act too child-like. One may be very easy to read (emotionally transparent) or an open book at this time. Wearing one’s heart on one’s sleeve could be disadvantageous at this time. One might be easily courted and manipulated. Prone to grief and worry at this time. Easily upset and flustered. One may be disheartened by loved ones. One may feel unsettled or compromised. Feeling flustered. Being passive-aggressive.

Mercury: Ideas and mentality, changes in ideologies, mental challenges and frustrations, relationship with siblings, anxiety, dilemma between self-control and self-discipline, focus on active rather than passive being, might be indecisive and struggle with decision-making. Potential for nervous breakdowns. Focus on order, structure, and disarray. One may take the time to reorganize one’s life and goals. The head may rule the heart when it comes to making choices. One may be more critical of one’s self and others at this time, but also more creative. Greater subjectivity.

Venus: changes in personal life, appearance, and relationships. Preoccupation with image (self-image) and looks, struggle with self-orientation, self-confidence. Critical self-voice, sharp internal judgment. Vanity may run high at this time. Insecurity may arise and cause problems in personal relationships. One may feel unappreciated, under-appreciated, or unloved at this time. Struggle between self and world. Concern for [social] reputation. Obsession with beauty and perfection. May be more attracted to glamour/extravagance and spending at this time. Watch your spending! Pay the bills on time! Strong desire for intimacy and partnership. One may be ruled by one’s desires at this time. The heart may rule the head. Desire to feel loved and cherished. One may be more selfish at this time. Concerned with social approval and acceptance.

Mars: more attracted to risks and prone to fights, accidents, and injury at this time. Easy to provoke. Struggle to remain calm as opposed to heated. Quick to anger and very passionate. Now is a good time to pursue passion projects or push yourself to the limit physically. Also an excellent time to pursue dreams and goals; your drive is unparalleled at this time. You’re on a mission to prove yourself and succeed. What you do challenge yourself to meet at this time can bring you great rewards and success, but with high risks also comes the opportunity for failure. Use caution and discernment at this time. Think before you speak. Verbal spats and even physical altercations can easily occur. Avoid debate (though, arguments will be common). You are more attracted than ever to either playing devil’s advocate or pushing people’s buttons at this time. You might also find yourself to be an unexpected hothead, or more irritable, aggressive, or prone to anger than usual. Be vigilant and stay on guard/alert. Be mindful of how you speak to and treat others at this time. Potential trouble with cars or accidents with cars. Sense of danger or enmity. Increased energy drive. One may be increasingly liable to outbursts at this time. Public outcry/outrage is also fueled, fielded, and supported at this time. Potential for violence or proximity to violence (both as victim or as aggressor). Capacity for phenomenal growth and increased health, energy, productivity, activity, and performance. Determined and relentless. Feeling reactive.

Jupiter: expansion, pursuit of knowledge, widening spheres of influence, connection with influential people, faith in spiritual practices, gains in material wealth. Falls or losses in business or monetary concerns are possible, also, at this time. Tendency for overindulgence. Good time to go back to school; excellent time to pursue education. Desire for greater knowledge, changing worldview and politics. Concern for future. Passion about social justice issues may emerge at this time, as well as existing tensions between experiences and instincts. One’s value system may be inclined to change. Potential for travel. Prone to optimism/optimistic thinking. Commitment to principles and ethics/morality and search for autonomy and higher thinking. Sensation-seeking experiences. Adventurous spirit. Courage. Restlessness. Desire for more. Gluttonous. Unsatisfied. Prone to excitement. Feeling hopeful and encouraged.

Saturn: challenges/tests in life. Feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities. Might experience fated encounters or be tasked to resolve karmic debts. Changes in career may come as a surprise, even if necessary. Looming sense of doom or fear. Potential of having to suffer consequences for previous misconduct or wrongdoing. Harsh sense of duty and unrelenting sense of needing to earn one’s worth or demonstrate one’s capacities. May feel weathered by current life path and make moves that threaten overall happiness or thwart career success. May struggle with conscience and consider, also, switching career paths. New opportunities could be given by mentors. Other mentors could fall from grace and the individual can suffer by association. A need to lean on support if feeling taxed during this time. One is more susceptible to the influence of depression and even suicidal ideation at this time. May feel like they are being punished for a crime they don’t know they committed.

Hospitalizations or physical illnesses, some severe, may occur. Sudden onset of illness. Potentially life-threatening illness or near-fatal accident may announce itself, especially if Saturn is afflicted with Mars, or even Pluto. Life-changing events (positive or negative) may tremendously alter and impact the course of the individual’s life. Struggle to make sense of one’s life goals, one may question one’s chosen or desired path. One may act very parent-like. There is the potential to act cold, removed, unfeeling, and emotionally distant or guarded at this time. Thoughts of parenthood (becoming a mother or father) may also emerge at this time. Potential to feel trapped in current job, relationship, or situation. Acute life stressors may appear. Stressed out will be an understatement. Failure to show up for others could be devastating at this time. One might have to make difficult decisions concerning the future of a relationship or path at this time. Now is also the time to break free from dying relationships or situations one is miserable, confined, or unhappy in or with. Underlying fears could be more pronounced. One in a lifetime opportunities may arise. Loftier goals will be pursued. Feeling of unfairness and imbalance in the world. Being more down-to-earth and grounded. Shucking or accepting responsibility. Accepting or rejecting change and tradition. More conservative thought and speech patterns. Concern for propriety. Prone to guilt or feeling let-down. Potential clashes or involvement with the law. Careful. Cosmic undertones. Feeling subpar. Struggle with self-worth. May be socially awkward and invulnerable, fearful of expressing true emotions. Detached or rigid. Feel inferior.

Uranus: experimentation is welcome. Chaos and unpredictability in one’s personal life. Issues with technology may arise. Impracticality may rear its head.

Surprise break ups, surprise engagements/proposals, surprise marriages/elopements, surprise divorce announcements. Breaking up at the drop of a hat, getting back together just as soon. Unlikely changes in employment and educational opportunities. Potential for accidents. The behavior of others may come as a shock at this time. People are either on edge or likely to act very edgy and contrarian at this time. The future is very uncertain. Constantly on the precipice of something, just for it to switch. Nothing is guaranteed. Potential for broken promises. Frustration with society and others. Anger and difficulty processing vulnerability. Concern for how one is received by the public. Desire to change or challenge the public’s perception. Motivation to excel. Novel breakthroughs are common in this time. Nothing is coincidental. Sudden flashes of insight or ingenuity and inspiration. Lightbulb moments. Potential also for natural disasters, such as earthquakes. Sudden changes and struggle to accept changes. Powerful, potentially life-changing encounters with strangers. May be concerned with unity and togetherness. Solidarity, too. May be very political and outspoken.

Neptune: disillusionment is common. Prone to lonilesness and bouts of depression. May be subject to dreaminess and naïveté. May idealize partners and situations. Rose-colored glasses may cause dissociation. Impaired vision, distorted visions. The sight of the unreal. The visibility of a dream, however much distant. Farsighted hopes. Inability to see the truth for what it is. Struggle to observe. Discontented mood, disconcerted beliefs and attitudes. Prone to dismay. Breaks from reality may occur. Worriness about the future. Emotional or mental breakdowns may occur, or surprise hospital visits. Psychic breakdown may make itself known. Vivid dreams (and nightmares). Sleep paralysis may occur. Sleep issues and insomnia may take place. Foot issues may also happen. Concern for past. Nostalgia is common. One may feel invisible at this time. One may feel lost and disconnected, isolated and discouraged in life. Struggle to connect with others. May pull away from relationships. One may lack the conviction to move forward in life. One may not feel at home in the world. One may feel tenant of a different world, or feel alien, or feel as though they don’t belong anywhere. Lack of belonging and lack of faith may lead to existential and identity crisis. A crisis of consciousness is also possible. It’s not advisable to have medical procedures done at this time, especially ones concerning plastic surgery or those involving anesthesia. There’s a feeling of being unable to “wake up.” Sharper intuition and sense of psychic power may arise. One may succumb to addiction at this time, so take care to avoid drugs/substances. Feeling tired easily/fatigued. Addictive personality. Suddenly addicted to people, places, feelings, or objects. Emotionally spent and all over the place. Confused. Prone to confusion and disorientation. May suffer from vertigo and headaches. Prone to pessimism. Feeling of hopelessness may stir disenchantment. Identity renegotiatiation. Feeling torn and undefined and unstable. Potential for delusion and deception. Pain of self-concept.

Pluto: Power struggles and transformations. Intensity! Increased depth in relationships. Traumas may make themselves known, but resilience is a factor. One may feel invincible and omnipotent at this time. A desire to kill what no longer works for oneself, destroy old patterns and traditions. Lapses in judgment could have legal or moral consequences at this time, punitive ones, similar to one with Saturn transits. An obstruction of justice may occur that affects the individual. Interactions with powerful people may be dark-sided in nature. One may feel pressed to expose others or be blackmailed into performing favors so as to avoid being exposed at this time. One may be more private and reclusive at this time. Aspects of self may be hidden. One may find it intensely pleasurable to engage in illicit or potentially self-destructive, high risk activities. Chasing death may be common. Feeling very territorial or obsessive in relationships. Obsessed with goals at this time. Feeding of compulsion. Possibility of and for violence (and victimization). Hard lessons, like Saturn transits, may be learned. Feeling of being in peril or endangered. Endless reserve of energy. Struggle to gain capital/resources, potential hoarding of such resources. Sudden monumental gains in wealth or losses (think sudden wealth vs. sudden poverty). Struggle to connect with basic needs (shelter, hunger, desire). Irrational desires and impulses may be hard to ignore or smother at this time. Feeling of helplessness or powerlessness may cause desperation; people may act ruthless, manipulative, vindictive, or out of character. Lying and deception may be common. Sudden experiences of cruelty may become happenstance. Difficult work and living environments and potential for conflict with superiors or father figures. Clashes with authority, abuses of power. Positively, there is the potential for tremendous good and tremendous social reform and policy change. Opportunities for life-changing success. Sudden falls from power or popularity, or sudden resurgences. [Identity] Rebranding. Identity renewal and regeneration. Strong feelings of regret. Feeling left behind. Feeling suppressed or controlled and struggling to take back power, agency, and control. Tendency to micromanage others. Control issues/control freaks may dominate everything. Must learn to take a step back instead of feeling the need to take over and manage/direct everything. Extreme focus and direction, increased concentration and potential, increased sociopolitical awareness. The problems of society will be heightened and maximized at this time. Strong awareness of energy, especially negative. High attunement and emotional frequency. Attitudinal changes. Action-oriented, like Mars transits. Motivated to excel and succeed, like Saturn transits. Unrivaled ambition and laser-like focus and dedication. Ravenous to be feared, admired, or respected. Risk-prone. A tendency to be performative and potential for death and spectacle (or crisis)! Sudden bursts of energy. Capacity to surmount all obstacles. Tenacious spirit.

Potential for proactive change. New sources of power/wealth, increased or decreased assets. Empowerment. Prone to paranoia and suspicion. Feeling attachment of possessions. Emotionally intense, stubborn, and perhaps inconsiderate. Preoccupied with self-gain and self-interests. Fearful of failure and rejection, like Saturn transits.

Lol 😂😂😂 thanks 💕💕💕

You’re welcome & did you ever talk about 8H placements? I haven’t been on here too much but the last thing I remember was your 5H Pluto post.

Nope, I completely abandoned my plans about continuing my Astro posts in March after the whole coronavirus pandemic just completely altered my life and school plans, lmaooo. I became consumed with work and school and am just now starting to get a breather. I’m planning on continuing my Astro series within the upcoming weeks ❤️

So the eclipse on June 5th is occurring while the Sun and Venus are in Gemini and the Moon is in Sagittarius (this particular moon is ruled by Mars in the sense that Martian energy overcomes Jupiter’s influence because of the harsh square it makes), and since the moon will be squaring Mars on that day, this is an energy of aggression, will, dynamism, purpose, with great potential for conflict and explosion. Expect fireworks, bombs/bombshells. Prepare yourself for intense energy and conflict on both a micro and macro level. Outbursts may be common, provoked or unprovoked. It may be unclear what instigated it, but it will be sure to prompt a swift, and dramatic, if not violent reaction. My advice would be to avoid battles and disagreements because they could blow up and metamorph into very serious, potentially destructive episodes and lead to catastrophic changes and [negative] consequences. That being said, the cosmic energy is currently such that I, unfortunately, am expecting and dreading terrible events/sequence of events to occur during and after this period. The energy of the eclipse is longlasting, of course, so we will see the effects long after June 5th. Perhaps an exercise in caution is best at this time. Remember, it is not always safe to engage in your emotions when the environment does not support your engagement. I sense a lot of aggression will be unpacked for times to come. Very chaotic and raw, unbridled emotions/actions WILL lead to violence during this time.

So the eclipse on June 5th is occurring while the Sun and Venus are in Gemini and the Moon is in Sagittarius (which is ruled by Mars), and the moon will be squaring Mars on that day.

Remember, it is not always safe to engage in your emotions when the environment does not support your engagement. I sense a lot of aggression will be unpacked for times to come. Very chaotic and raw, unbridled emotions/actions WILL lead to violence during this time.

Just a reminder to check your transits/houses to see where the eclipse falls in. Remember the eclipse is in 15 degrees Sagittarius, so if you have planets on the angles (i.e. the angular houses—1, 4, 7, 10) in mutable signs (Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius), you might see that this is where the energy from the eclipse is concentrated/manifests in your life.

In general, if the eclipse falls in your 12th house, themes involving trauma or past repressed events/experiences, as well as episodes concerning healing from the past may arise, as well as pain and other feelings revolving around the experience or perception of self-isolation or alienation. You may feel lost or abandoned in some way, or, alternatively, you may reconcile with past experiences of abandonment and identity crisis. This eclipse may offer an opportunity to unpack such [negative, defeating] feelings and experiences. If you’ve been suffering from some time, this eclipse might signify an end to this personal suffering and a chance for self-reemergence. Dreams may be very strong and vivid and perhaps violent at this time, and painful reminders may submerge, but this is a merely a reminder of your own resilience. Pay attention to what thoughts come up in your subconscious mind at this time and write down your dreams. This is no coincidence. Process what happens or what has happened to you. Recover. Reimagine. Heal. You are resilient.

If the eclipse falls in your eleventh house, you might be more concerned with the collective and feel an urgency to get more involved with the world. You might also feel that friend groups are intensified at this time, negatively or positively. You may fall out with a close friend or reconsider the company you keep/hang around, or, you may former deeper attachments and connections at this time. You may feel the need to rely on the support of a mentor or become a mentor or healer to others who require those services. There might be changes in your inner circle, or you might feel the need to address issues within your larger community, on both a micro and macro level. You may get involved with many social organizations and causes at this time, whether by donating or participating. Themes of solidarity, community, and social cohesion or integration are important at this time. You might also be pondering what is sustainable and feel more inclined to submit to humanitarian impulses. Now is a good time to give back to the community or look up certain charities. If you are feeling unsatisfied with your personal development or feeling disconnected from your purpose, they might become aware to you. If you’ve been feeling like something has been missing in your life for a while now and have been ignoring it or avoiding dealing with it, it will be impossible to ignore/deny or avoid at this time. Your attitude toward life, beyond your commitment to the activities in your life and even your attitude toward social justice and activism may change during this time. If you’re unsettled, know that it’s okay to be unsettled, but do the work to figure out why. What do you need to feel more comfortable in your position? What do you need to feel like you have a voice in the world? How might you contribute something larger to the world while honoring your self? How might you discover your motivations for being a part of whatever group you currently identify with? What is failing you, and how have you failed yourself? Take the time to reflect and make valuable changes.

If the eclipse falls in your tenth house, you might be thinking of making changes or transformations in your work life, or, you might be pondering whether or not to alter your work/life balance. Issues could arise in the workplace, but not everything may be related to your career. The eclipse falling here might also represent a turning point in your current chosen path, whether or not that is your life path or your career path. It might represent a new opportunity or obstacle you didn’t anticipate. It might mean you having to make tough decisions or compromises. You might have to choose between taking action that could potentially benefit you whilst causing you to have to sacrifice something else you hold dear or taking action that might not please your family or neighbors or friends, but could benefit you in the long run. You might be swayed to consider other realities and possibilities you hadn’t imagined before. You might be approached with offers (doesn’t have to be job-related, just material in nature) that you were expecting or were not expecting. Whatever decision you make, think wisely, because I get the feeling this decision will hold a great deal of gravity/weight for your future. Whatever you choose now will have lasting implications and may re-arise in future occasions. This is also a good time to rebrand or revamp your image, but if you’re going to do so, make sure you’re consciously altering it instead of drastically making overnight changes. The more original you come off, the better. If your intention is to deceive, you’ll be caught. Transparency is key at this time. Now is also a beneficial time to tap into your social awareness. If there were aspects of your self or public behavior you needed to change/modify about yourself, now is a good time. Past errors and mistakes may come back to haunt you and be reflected in how others (superiors, the public, authority figures, i.e. bosses, etc.) may see you. Now is also a time of heightened government, heightened action, tension, public engagement, and heightened voyerurism and documentation. There will be less privacy and a lot of actions will be brought to public attention. You might find yourself having to apologize more or address certain topics you thought were long past. People might attempt to hold a mirror to you. A lot of people with planets that make malefic contacts might find themselves with egg on their face, especially if they have prominent public/social/Internet personalities, channels, or faces, especially those experiencing harsh Pluto transits. Openness to change and experience is beneficiary and encouraged at this time.

Expect to see a lot of announcements, and in that vein, know that any action or behavior from you seen as unwarranted or egregious will be publicly brought to attention and/or announced. Don’t let anyone make an example of you. Now is also not the time to use practices such as intimidation or manipulation to get what you want. Deception will backfire on you. Spectatorship is common at this time. For those of you with strong public reputations or relations, I recommend discernment at this time. Try to avoid discord with powerful/important people, or otherwise attempt to disengage. Failure to do so can result in damaging repercussions and even fractured relationships. I do see a potential for a clash with authorities or a skittle/incident. Positively, I can also see many people digesting positive news in their public and social lives at this time, possibly related to their private life. Some people have opportunities for employment, especially those who have been dying to be hired. I see thoughts of changing vocations, for others, actual changes that may or may not materialize, and avenues to be pursued in terms of seeking public recognition. You may be guided in your aspirations by others who could be a great source of assurance or assurance for you, or you may be finally recognized for your achievements if you’ve been awaiting this right now. For others of you, it may come as a shock, but someone with a great deal of power or influence is either attempting to help you or working very hard to undermine you at this time, though, it might be unbeknownst to you who it is until it is consequently revealed to you in the most altering and unsuspecting ways. This might have damaging or unbelievably rewarding consequences upon your social station/esteem. Not all consequences could be devastating, but it’s good to exercise caution and hold people at a safe distance. If your guard is up, you may identify who is acting suspicion or not working in your best interests.

For those with the eclipse in the 9th house, I see a lot of opportunity for self-engagement and self-growth/human development. A lot of people are going to be expressing devotion toward objectives related to discovering who they are as a person and feel motivated, perhaps, to pursue aims and aspirations about what they need to further their personal goals in life, as well as raising objections to what they find utterly unconscionable. You might feel stirred to engage in social discourse about social injustice and other social ills, currently. Furthermore, you might re-examine how much you value a place of work, ideology, or [social] institution at this time. I also see the potential to alight paths of spirituality or reject them at this time and find alternative sources of faith. Some of you may reach out to God or reconnect with sources of worship or even find your way back to church. More of you may have some kind of struggle with your faith/belief system, whether this is a religious or ideological belief in nature. Something may happen that causes you to either reckon with or contest this knowledge at this time. Hope, healing, justice, and redemption may be themes in your personal lives, and you may be vindicated in your professional life. Now is a time to pursue what you are truly passionate about. Others may feel a strong sense of “knowing” (intuition) at this time. Trust it and let it guide you. Trust, also, in your angels (for those of you who believe in them). Faith can be a huge source of comfort and inspiration at this time. Now is also a refreshing and useful time to create and engage with intellectual projects. For positive reasons or negative ones, you might find yourself in the limelight. Creativity is fostered by introspection and perhaps civic engagement at this time. Some of you may struggle with a sense of meaning, but work to remove self-limiting and self-defeating beliefs at this time through clarity produced from supportive conversations with trusted idols, friends, family members, and other figures in your life. You may be asked to recount certain past experiences but they may offer an unexpected source of light and even procure you an unexpected and advantageous opportunity. Knowledge gained at this time may give you an advantage for a future outcome you have awaited and prepared for, for quite some time now. You might be pleasantly surprised by whatever insights you gain at this time, and you can use it to your advantage if you hone it in at this time. Now is a great time to curate your visual and innovative projects as well as begin the process of unraveling personal narratives—you may see opportunities in education arise, specifically. Now is also a valuable time to attune into your current life philosophy and figure out whether this is hurting or helping you. Is something holding you back? Why? And why have you allowed it to keep you stuck before? Wherever you have felt stuck before, you may come unglued. Authenticity is your greatest asset now, and the most lucid theme for this eclipse, the next being mental expansion and exploration. I recommend identity development and mental road mapping.

Mental journeys are common now. It’s a great time to learn who you have been and understand why you became that person. It’s not too late to change into who you want to be, and if you are comfortable in who you are, now is the perfect time to step into who you are and just be your authentic self instead of feeling as though you have to perform a certain role. Just be yourself. You’ve been feeling like you have to fight for something in your life or fight against a particular circumstance for a while now. This will suddenly be revealed to you, and it might also become apparent that the person you have been fighting is yourself. Trust yourself. Have confidence in your choices and abilities, and take that leap. It will be advantageous to you. I mostly see benefits arising from self-illumination and immaterial, abstract processes at this time, but this, of course, could manifest into concrete, tangible, perhaps even financial gains, as well. Just know you are leaving instability or directionlessness behind, especially those of you with Sagittarius on the 9th house cusp. Now is the time to pick a path and stick to it and embrace the stability and continuity you’ve always wanted. You’ve always had the choice. If you hesitate or remain indecisive, incontinuity may soon follow as a repercussion, especially when Mercury enters retrograde on the 18th. Leave or depart from traditions of falling claim to mental roadblocks. Strategize new opportunities for change. I think you will have success.

For those of you with the eclipse in the 8th house, I see the potential for self-renewal and regeneration or identity reformation. You’re strengthening your core values and coming to terms with your emotions and your bodily responses to your emotions. There may be upheaval revolving intimate connections or past romantic or sex partners. Trigger warning: I’m feeling especially attuned to survivors/victims of sexual abuse right now: I see people reaching out to, exposing, and/or publicly identifying their abusers. This could mean drama, large or small, varying from slight fall-outs to big blow-ups, or they could be as minor as losing contact for good, i.e blocking each other on social media or cellular devices. You might experience some sort of reconnection (negative or positive) with a past partner or previous entanglement (especially an on-and-off one from the vibes I’m getting, though, it could be a one-time encounter) you had from a very long time ago (think a year/a year and a half ago or more/longer). They may show up in your life unexpectedly, you may reach out on your own volition for some urgent reason, or you may feel called to act/respond because something provoked you to speak out. You might castigate or berate them or find yourself battered (not physically, but psychically, energetically, and emotionally) by them. Although the interaction may be tenuous and draining, it may ultimately bring you peace or [conflict] resolution, even if the closure comes in the form of you too never speaking to each other again. I’m feeling like the connection being brought up again is with someone you shared a very intimate, psychic or perhaps sexual relationship with, or someone who significantly impacted your psyche and even potentially caused you trauma (emotional, mental, sexual, etc.) or psychological damage. If this connection re-triggers you, do be sure to seek the appropriate services (therapy, counseling, authorities, if needed and necessary), allow yourself to heal and invite forgiveness into your life—self-forgiveness: by this, I mean to say, forgive yourself for what happened to you. In order to bring yourself peace, just remind yourself that you owe no one forgiveness or understanding, but you owe yourself both at all times. You are feeling and embracing the need to call out people who hurt you and hold them accountable during this time, as you should. Just be prepared for them not to react in a cute and cuddly way. They might terrorize and attempt to defraud you or name you a liar or a terrible person. They will flip the script on you if they can. And since I’m always honest, just know to prepare, in some instances, of being disbelieved if you are to speak up about your trauma, and expect, also, unfortunately, being publicly gaslit or lambasted. Don’t let this stop you from telling your story and enacting justice and healing for yourself, however. You own whatever happened to you.

I also see people from either March or May of this year, June of last year and November-December of last year or May of 2018 potentially showing up in your life, suddenly/dramatically. They may claim to wish to make amends and forsake the past and promise they’re a changed or better person. Whether or not you actually believe and reconcile with this person is up to you. For this feeling, I’m not sure if it’s a universal message or just a message for those with the eclipse in the 8th, so I’m placing the feeling here. I feel like the person coming back or trying to come back is probably one that shouldn’t, however; I’m getting psychic vampire (some say: energy vampire) vibes from them. What I know for sure is that this individual, whether or not they’ve changed, is someone that has brought you a great deal of pain and hurt you tremendously (perhaps even, repeatedly) before. Please don’t open your heart and capacity for forgiveness unto people who have shamelessly traumatized you. If they caused you trauma, let them go. It’s not always about “being the bigger person.” Sometimes being the bigger person means being the smartest person: which is the person who is strong enough to recognize when something or someone is bad news.

Beyond those somewhat intense messages, I also see great opportunities for reenergizing and reconnecting with positive sources. I see a lot of potential for metaphysical activity or even occult activity at this time, strong sexual, psychic, and personal desires, and urges for liberation and rebirth. I also see an opportunity to visualize shedding the death of an old self for good so as to free oneself from a past version of selfhood that didn’t do one any favors. Some of you may be very sensitive to the threat of violence or victimization at this time, and death, of course, is a theme, but not necessarily in terms of literal death, but in terms of the death of a relationship or persona or dream or struggle or consciousness, which leads way to a resurrection of self and consciousness. I see an opportunity to reclaim power and happiness. Empowerment may come in the form of identity reclamation or through unexpected finances, intensely positive social relationships/positive support networks and protective factors, industry, and fulfilling experiences within one’s social and mental life. Physical activity (i.e. sex, gym/exercise, eating) may be particularly pleasurable at this time, or it may be the focus. Pay in-depth attention to your spiritual health at this time, just as much or even more than your physical health. How are you feeling? Where do you feel spiritually weak, uncentered or ungrounded? Where do you feel susceptible to attack or defenseless? What energies are destabilizing you in your life, and how you can counteract them with practices that center them? What grounding techniques can you implement? Is it productive to revisit the past? Check signs of spiritual and physical sickness or poor well-being. Feeling depressed? Unstable? Anxious? Physically sore? Restless? Defeated? Check in with your self. Adjust your attitude toward asking for help. Now is also the time to pay up any debts, if you have any, because they may become a thorn in your back, later. Be patient with yourself. It also wouldn’t hurt to check on your sexual health, and for women, your reproductive health. Also, take the time to ask yourself: what does my body need right now? Space? Movement? Repositioning? Alignment? Rest? Food? Exercise? And remember: you can’t rush healing. Also, track: where does your mind go when it travels? When you daydream? When you zone out? This may tell you a lot about yourself and indicate signs, much deeper, about where you’re going and where you’ve been. Take the time to deconstruct your body and its silence. Its signals and its language. This is also the time to not just examine, but accept uneasy emotions. If you’re angry, get angry. If you’re grieving, process your grief. Allow yourself to grieve, rage, and be happy. Check in on your loved ones as well, especially those with ailing health. The theme for you is consciousness, more specifically, integration of consciousness.

For those with the eclipse in the 7th house, you might feel urged to reevaluate your relationships and take the time to imagine whether they are working the way you desire them to. You might contemplate the utility of your romantic relationships and even question the character or integrity of your partner. You might ask: is this someone I can trust? Is this someone I can build a future with? Is this someone I can rely on? You might find yourself entering conflict with partners, especially if you’ve been secretly experiencing dissatisfaction with the relationship for quite some time now. You might feel the need to address issues that have gone unaddressed. Your relationship is more likely to fall apart if you’re with someone you love but don’t like most of the time or someone you like most of the time but can’t respect because of xyz issue, and so on. You might question your partner’s commitment to the relationship, and vice versa. You might question their alliance to you, their values, and their faith or even fidelity. Their loyalty and dependability. You might ask: is my partner reliable? Does my partner make me feel safe? Is this a healthy relationship? Can I trust my partner with my life? If you’ve hit the 6 or 7 year mark in your relationship, especially, because of the Saturn-Pluto contacts/transits currently, you might be tempted to hit the breaks. Those of you with ongoing lawsuits or court cases may arrive to some kind of settlement or agreement. Whether or not the outcome is positive or negative for you depends on your individual charts and where planets are located (as well as what aspects they make, and so on). Your individual transits obviously play a role, additionally. If you’re open to reconciliation with any person, now is a good time to go about it, but if you’ve had a contentious relationship or tumultuous history with that person in the past, my recommendation is to try outside mediation first. This doesn’t necessarily apply to legal terms or arbitration, I simply mean, for example, if you desire to reach out to, say, an ex, for example, perhaps having your friend reach out to his friend and see if he is open to conversing with you. This would be a much smoother path to working issues out than directly reaching out if you have a bad history with the person you may be motivated or compelled to reach out to at this time. Otherwise, I would advise there is no need for outside intervention or mediation. Still, take the time to consider which relationships (romantic or business), including friendships, may be worth saving at this time. Others may need to be peacefully abandoned.

If you’re considering cutting ties, doing so in a friendly way is advisable. If you do it in a malicious way, it may come back to bite you: remember that this eclipse is ruled by Mars, the planet of aggression and dispute. Conflict is on the rise at this time, you want to avoid fanning the flames, rather than throwing kerosene on them. Take deliberate but pragmatic action. Try not to be hostile. Softness and tenderness will do wonders at this time, but if that cannot be managed, tact is always welcomed. Intensity will look like hostility at this time. Pay particular attention to your one-on-one relationships; also, paying special attention to the needs of your best friends who may or may not be open with some of the challenges they’re currently facing or experiencing may be greatly appreciated at this time. Remember you don’t need a tragedy or emergency to happen to perform a wellness check. Check in on your friends once in a while is what I normally advise, but during these challenging times, more is better. Actively be a part of your friends’ lives and remind them you care. Your focus may be on others at this time, but remember to send yourself some self-love and self-care, as well. Better learn to establish and balance your needs with others/theirs. You should be a priority in your life, but others’ needs matter, too. Just don’t treat your own needs as secondary, and don’t neglect your responsibilities to other humans! Work on your communication, too. This skill will be needed to resolve any potential disputes that may arise. I suspect certain conflicts are on the horizon, some of which have been brewing for some time, but somebody, maybe you, has been trying to keep the peace. Something as little as a slight difference in views at this time may provoke a large argument. Don’t fan the fumes. Exit the smoking car! Relationships could very much go through breaks and break-ups or otherwise encounter obstacles and tests. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, return to the source of your doubt and remind yourself of your motivations for being in the relationship or your reasions for caring. Go upriver or detour. Decide whether it’s time to step away and pull or peel back from relationships or hold tight. The theme of this eclipse is related to partnerships, but partnering is not just about intimate or even romantic relationships, it’s also about the self! Especially if you are self-partnered. Seclusion may be your instinct, but it might cause others to feel as though you don’t care, so strive to make an effort to be present and engaged.

For those of you with the eclipse in the sixth house, you may particularly be sensitive to the events happening inside your body at this time. If you’ve been experiencing a great deal of stress right now, especially racial-based stress, you’ll feel it in your body, in the form of headaches, back aches, abdomen stitches, general body aches, chronic pain or soreness, and it may manifest into physical illness. You might also face new, unexpected situations in work and may be expected to make compromises you find unfair or unfitting. You may be frustrated with your colleagues or the higher-ups, or otherwise disgruntled with the pace or atmosphere of your work, workspace, or place of work. You’re going to be placing a great deal of attention upon your work environment or your company’s culture. If you’ve been out of work/found yourself unemployed as a result of coronavirus, I see that some of you may find yourself approached with news that you can return to or otherwise recover those jobs. This will be a relief for many of you, but it may turn out to be a disappointment later when Mercury enters retrograde on June 18th. There may be components of the job that have changed as a result of the circumstances that may make your life/job harder in a myriad of ways.

The eclipse in the 6th house may also urge you to reconsider your health. If you’ve been suffering mentally or physically, it’s going to show up now, and the reminder will be persistent. You may find yourself faced with certain surprises, health crises, or even possible emergency situations if you neglect your body at this time. Consider not only sources of physical pain, but sources of mental fatigue when attempting to increase your energy and vitality. Monitor your health and any signs of decay or illness. Decline or frustration with work or life can show up in many ways in our everyday lives, as well as in our perceptions of our body. This is also the time to search for ways of improving the self, one’s social health, and one’s happiness and overall well-being. Determine the greatest contributing factor to feeling well and implement it. Determine the greatest contributing factor to feeling poor and work to get rid of it or minimize its influence. Increase the effectiveness of your efforts by engaging in activities known to increase physical wellness, such as fitness, good nutrition, and hydration. Go to the doctor if you’re feeling unwell. Change your daily habits and routines if they’re unproductive to your overall well-being. If reading the news everyday causes you mental anguish and vicarious trauma, stop checking it everyday. Try a couple days a week. Limit the amount of time you spend on social media. Engage in pleasant activities you enjoy. This may be listening to music or cooking, sculpting or drawing, painting and making pottery and other arts and crafts, singing, dancing, journaling, watching cartoons, socializing, etc. You have a duty to yourself before you have a duty to work or others. Make sure you’re putting yourself first. Prioritize your health and happiness above all else. Make time for yourself. Downsize certain obligations. Anticipate changes in work routines/schedules and even employment. Just as I said I see many people rejoining the workforce, I also see many people having their hours cut or otherwise experiencing some reduction in either hours or pay. Prepare for undesirable health or work outcomes and do your best to cope with them. Seek help if needed. The theme of this eclipse is health and wellness. Consider, also, what is of best service to you (opportune) at this time.

For those of you with the eclipse in the 5th house, now is the time to consider what you want, what you need, and what gives you joy. Whatever arouses your passion is what motivates your interest. Whatever is capable of this enlivens, entices, energizes, and intrigues you. Now is the time to engage in playful activity. Leisure, recreation, and excitement are your three main pleasure principles. Me time is important, creativity is important, having fun and playing games is imperative, keeping your spirit high is important, and receiving gifts or surprises is just icing on the cake. Your task is to find a way to incorporate these elements into your life, especially considering the stresses of the current pandemic and everything else happening in the world. You need to devote your energy to the existence of whatever makes you feel happy to be alive and whatever makes you jovial and celebratory. This is the time to celebrate your achievements and your potential. It’s the time to champion your abilities. More importantly, it’s the time to champion your humanity. Remind the world who you are. Show them your name, your intelligence, your creativity and innovation. Embrace your inner star [power.] What does empowerment look like for you? Is it finding yourself a hobby to excel at? Is it finding the profound, sacred, and profane, and making sense of your experiences? Is it your ability to uncover pleasure? Is it found in romance and dating? Is it found in inspiring children or raising them? Untap whatever drives you and use it to impel your movement and position in society. Use it to make a bold statement about how real, valid, important, and exceptional your existence is. Use it to prove to yourself and never the world how valuable you are, how powerful you are, and how worthy you are of acknowledgment and life and celebration. Demonstrate your excellence without hesitation so no one can take it away from you. Channel your childlike joy without inhibition. Joy is the pathway to liberation. The theme of this eclipse is personal empowerment and the pursuit of passion. Unlocking one’s inner child is the doorway to self-discovery and the key to freedom. I didn’t feel the need to mention it, but it goes without saying that short dalliances and romantic flings or perhaps no-strings attachments may be pursued now.

For those of you with the eclipse in the 4th house, you may see energy focused around family matters. Beyond matters concerning family life, there be the potential for strife with those one considers family, such as very close friends or perhaps godparents. Struggles with parents may be common at this time, too. Particularly with mom if the moon is involved and dad if Saturn is involved, but remember it could go either way, especially when considering the influence of the other planets. This is the time to think about your inner self and examine what makes you feel at home and whether or not you currently feel that way in your contemporary life. If not, you need to ask yourself: what do I need to feel at home in the world? What do I need to feel at home within my own household? What do I need to feel secure in life? You might consider a change in address(es). You might consider relocation in a larger scale, e.g. a move from Florida to Texas. You might need to alter your physical home environment, i.e. by redecorating the kitchen or cleaning your room, or by putting plants in the office or creating a meditation room, etc. You might repaint your bedroom and add furniture to the living room or make your house or apartment/living space more minimalist in decor. You might go for a more homey look or a complete change in pace. You might start some construction projects and tear down the second bedroom or start a demolition project for the garage. You might renovate your basement. Or, you might add a ceiling fan in the formal dining room, place artwork in the bathroom, buy a new fridge, and go from pastel grays, pinks, blues, and greens, marble floors and white tiles, fluorescent lighting and dark carpeting to neon lights, redwoods or brown wood panels (flooring), granite countertops, bright reds and scarlets, burning mahogany, dark golds, and blacks, or perhaps go from country-chic and mid-Western rustic to Moroccan palace. You might become more enigmatic about your private life; alternatively, you might become more open about who you’re dating and even introduce them to your family/take the next steps if you haven’t yet. Conversely, you might take a step back in your relationship if it’s becoming too serious so as to slow it down, or you might become more secretive about your partner and downplay the seriousness of your relationship.

At this point in time, you are probably preoccupied with emotional safety and physical security. It’s important to pay attention to what patterns arise at this time concerning stability, order, structure, and your idea of consistency or foundation. What is the foundation of your relationship? What is the foundation of your home life? What is the foundation of your values? Where are they solid and where are they vulnerable? What can they be crippled by? What are you doing to ‘safeguard’ yourself, protect yourself, wall people out or lock them in? What are you doing to make yourself feel safe and secure, and what makes you feel like there is a threat to your safety? Now is also a great time to rediscover your roots. Remind yourself of what makes you ‘you.’ Read your favorite literature. Your favorite poet or author. Return to the place that makes you feel at home, maybe it’s your partner’s home or simply your individual partner, maybe it’s the library, maybe it’s the beach, when you’re collecting seashells, maybe it’s your bed or your bathtub, maybe it’s the kitchen when you’re making your grandma’s infamous coffee cake or the restaurant where you had your first date, or maybe it’s at the dinner table with your favorite sibling, bonding over Uno and sliced bread. Maybe it’s just a sentiment. It’s a cozy sweater, a warm meal, your oldest trinket, the look of your house upon entry, your grandmother’s smile, your sister’s crooked glasses, your brother’s favorite blanket, your boyfriend’s car, a long drive, a hug. Maybe it’s a handwritten letter or an expensive bracelet. Your favorite dress, your lucky socks. Maybe it’s a smell. Like freshly baked lasagna, your mother’s cherry perfume, your vanilla wafer. Maybe it’s whatever fills you with longing, nostalgia, or even despair. The theme of this eclipse is belonging, security, and solidifying connection to whatever makes you feel “at home.”

For those of you with the eclipse in the 3rd house, communication may be the theme. Relationships with siblings may also be at the forefront at this time, and much attention may be paid to intellectual pursuits, such as activities pertaining to reading, writing, creating, innovating, designing, computing, or intellectualizing. Intellectualism is obviously a dominant focus at this time, but now is also a good time to reflect upon one’s mindset and reconsider cognitive frames that no longer benefit or serve one. To be of service to oneself, one has to be critical of oneself to a certain extent, but consider how this ceases to be productive or beneficial when one fails to generate any sort of meaningful activity from this intense investigation. Sometimes we spend so much time focusing on what we’re thinking that we fail to construct a message because too little action is performed in accordance to the desired intention. We ought to spend less time thinking and more time verbalizing. The capacity for miscommunication is high at this time, so it is important that people experiencing this transit take great pains to be as lucid as possible when articulating their thoughts, desires, and intentions. Learning how to be an effective communicator (whether in speaking or writing) is beneficial to one during this period. The theme of this eclipse is related to improving upon one’s communicative abilities. Now is also a good time to invest in or contribute cultural products and share one’s ideas or artistic enterprises, skills, and contributions. Imaginative abilities and prowess will be celebrated and encouraged at this time.

For those of you with the eclipse in the 2nd house, you may be experiencing worry about your finances or the potential loss of your savings. Beyond monetary fears, you may be feeling weighed down by material concerns such as bills, mortgages, upkeep of living faculties, quality of life, air, food, or water, and a dearth of resources. You may also feel overwhelmed with your past expenses and current spending, or you may be faced with an unfortunate situation that takes an unexpected blow upon your financial stability status. Your financial situation, if not worrisome, may cross the line into dire, but if you have positive transits or planets making beneficial aspects, such as having transiting Jupiter in the 2nd, for instance, you may be relieved from the burden of financial stress and may even find money coming your way. Those of who you are eligible for outside relief from whatever organization or institution (i.e. higher education or government) may suddenly find that stripped away, or, conversely, find yourself alleviated of much financial need as a result of this help. You might also have an outside benefactor (i.e. friend, neighbor, parent, or anonymous donator) chip in and help your financial straits. If you’re not concerned with assets or money at this time, anything related to physical security, primarily, is going to occupy your mind. You might not feel safe in your physical body or safe in your home. You may be worried about your businesses; you may also suffer a loss as a result of damages to your property or businesses. You may be fearful of physically losing your life. These losses or fear of losses may set you back, but they will not ultimately prevent you from making/securing a living, though, they will either jeopardize you or make it difficult for you, somehow. Now is the time to lean on others for support, emotionally, physically, and financially. Asking for help if you need it is never a weakness. Now is also a great time to enable yourself to use your resourcefulness and quick thinking or problem-solving capacities to get yourself out of tricky situations and overcome setbacks. If you’re crafty, you can come up with inventive ways to generate new sources of income. You can freelance. You can offer your services and charge for them. You can ask for donations and extra funds. You can sell products on Etsy or commission art. You can also use your resources to help gather funds for others who need it. Crowdfunding is made much easier here, during this transit. It will be much easier to locate potential sources of assistance and be supported in your efforts.

Beyond this dimension of stability (financial security), you will be experiencing a sudden emphasis upon your value system which might provoke you to process your self-attitudes. You might take the time to truly dive into potentially triggering episodes so as to understand why, for example, you have low self-esteem. You may focus upon rebuilding your self-confidence at this time and affirming your worth. Finding material security might mean something more than having a home or having a partner or having food or having friends or having money, it might mean honing in on values that attract these needs into one’s life. It might mean reshaping one’s beliefs and worldview and increasing one’s self-knowledge. It might entail giving up some possessions in order to get others. The theme of this eclipse is temerity, endurance and perseverance, and it may almost certainly involve restructuring or rethinking one’s life and/or one’s valuables. Self-sacrifice is also a theme that may emerge. Earthiness is accepted and expected. But just as one with the eclipse in the 12th house may feel the need to retreat from the world at this time, someone with this transit in the 2nd needs to transcend this current reality or struggle that is oppressing them and liberate themselves by acknowledging perhaps undesirable feelings and situations they would rather repress.

For those with the eclipse in the 1st house, rebuilding and re-centering one’s self-concept is the main goal during this time. One is concerned with one’s self-orientation, but also concerned about how this image reflects upon the world. One might feel the need to make changes with one’s appearance at this time, which may involve physically changing one’s look or dressing differently or dyeing one’s hair color. It may involve changing one’s energy or aura (lightening up the mood) or altering one’s facial expressions to communicate more feeling and interest. It might involve experimenting with wigs or makeup or alternative styles and branding. It might involve modifying one’s demeanor, manner, persona, image, or approach to the world. One might play up a certain character and adopt a certain look—a manufactured one. May not feel real or may be accused of acting out of the ordinary, as if “acting out of character” makes one unreal. One may be typified or typecast or act as if costumed (not physically wearing a costume, psychologically). One might change their footsteps or mannerisms, their facial or bodily/physical movements, the way they sit, the way they talk, the way they clasp their arms or hands, the way they socialize, etc. It might involve changing one’s social self and social performance. Energy is related to one’s social impression. Just as one with an eclipse in the 11th house may use their personhood as an organizing tool, someone with a 1st house transit may mobilize their physical appearance or outward psychic appearance into social or physical activity. One’s self-awareness and subjective emotional experience is highlighted at this time. Particular focus will remain on one’s self-identity, but identity may be difficult to resolve at this time due to one wearing a particular mask that conceals the genuine character of the individual. Individuals at this time may appear to undergo an identity crisis; they may act unsocial when previously extroverted. They may act rebellious when previously shy and expressive of conformity to social norms. They may act out when previously well-behaved. They may transform from goth/gothic skater girl to peppy princess, etc. Personal transformations are common, though, they may be very superficial in nature; however, they will appear very intense and radical. Change will come as a surprise, a dramatic and unaccounted for and unaccepted one.

Keeping with the energy of melodrama, melodramatic outer expressions will have consequences upon the outer world/social world, which will examine the self critically and perhaps oddly, though, inquisitively. The self-image is projected onto others and in this way, seems less natural and genuine. A genuine desire for change may surface, but one’s self-expression may actually prevent one from being seen or heard or validated in society, especially if one’s personal expression is not perceived well. Don’t be surprised if these changes are rendered artificial or deemed irrational. Change may not be tolerated. One could be ostracized or made a loner, the oddball out. One might be disparaged even as one is seemingly accepted. One’s self seems ambiguous at this time, hard to pin down. Others’ assessment of their character might change at this time as a result. Don’t be surprised to hear “you’re not who I thought you were” or “I feel like I don’t even know you anymore” or “who are you?” or “I feel like you’ve deceived me” or “it’s not natural” or “you don’t even know who you are anymore.” People might have difficulty seeing you for who you really are and coming to terms or peace with you at this time. You might experience rejection when all you want is acceptance. You might not even have to drastically alter or even modify your appearance at all for people to act as if you’ve somehow changed in ways they cannot fathom, understand, or accept. This might cause you to feel lonely and alienated, alone in the world, an outsider perhaps. You might feel exiled or strained or unwanted, like someone with a transit in the 12th house. The theme of this eclipse encompasses embracing vulnerability, but it is mostly related to increased subjectivity. Your sense of self will experience tension. You will experience a heightened sense of self-awareness and social awareness. Make sure not to be crippled or ashamed by others’ responses to you and try to stay true to who you are instead of trying to be someone else or trying to fit into a certain mold. Internal identity confusion might manifest into outward confusion, manipulation, or obsession with physical appearance. Embodiment will also be a recurring theme at this time. The question of who am I? may persist, and you may consistently struggle to have inward peace with your individuality because of others’ reckoning of your individuation.

Note: my advice to all is to make sure what you’re doing, participating or believing in, and pursuing is organic at this time. Anything that is not may be purged or taken from you at this time, or it may come to your attention that certain situations aren’t as well-meaning, whole, or good as you previously thought they were. It’s time to critically explore and unpack the social realities of everything you observe and participate in, from your relationships, to your own self-processes, to the events happening in the world. Failure to notice will bring consequences (inaction is not an option).

ASTRO NEWS

Upcoming events:

Lunar eclipse on June 5th, 2020 in 15 degrees Sagittarius (will affect everyone but especially mutable placements, Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, Sagittarius). Full moon @ 3:12 p.m. EDT. Effects can be felt on June 6th.

Mercury goes retrograde in Cancer on June 18, 2020

Solar eclipse on June 21, 2020 (energy will be felt on June 20th as well). New moon @ 2:41 a.m. EDT in 0 degrees Cancer. Cardinal signs should be particularly mindful (Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn).

Venus goes direct on June 25, 2020

Lunar eclipse on July 4th (American Independence Day), 2020 in 13 degrees Capricorn. Full moon @ 12:44 a.m. EDT on July 5th, 2020. Eclipses that fall on a full moon typically have larger scale repercussions because full moons signify endings/something coming to a close. I wonder what this means for America, especially in the midst of a crisis and a large scale public response to the viruses of Covid-19 and racism. Hopefully there is some kind of positive resolution, but I’m leaning toward negative at the time being, just based on a preliminary assessment of the transits at this time. This eclipse will affect everyone, especially cardinal placements (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn). Be mindful of that fact that the transits at this time mirror, astrologically, the transits that occurred on 9/11, 19 years ago.

Super New Moon on October 16, 2020 at 3:31 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) in 23 degrees Libra (how fitting!). Cardinal signs (Libra, Aries, Cancer, Capricorn) should feel this heavily.

Lunar eclipse on November 29, 2020. Full moon on November 30, 2020 @ 4:30 a.m. EST in 8 degrees Gemini. Mutable placements (Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces, Virgo) will likely be the most impacted.

Total Solar eclipse on December 14, 2020 @ 11:16 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) in 23 degrees Sagittarius. New moon. Mutable placements will be strongly affected (Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius).

The following events will happen a long time from now in the future, but be on the look out!

March/April 2021: retrograde Pluto conjoins the natal Pluto of the U.S.A.

May 26, 2021: total eclipse of the moon

June 10, 2021: solar eclipse

November 19, 2021: lunar eclipse

December 4, 2021: total eclipse of the sun

February 19, 2022: The U.S. experiences its Pluto return in Capricorn (think American Revolution—is there potential for not just riots, but civil rebellion again?) On February 20th, Pluto will be direct. Side effects will be strong in March 2022.

July 11, 2022: The U.S. experiences its Pluto return in Capricorn while Pluto is retrograde (think civil uprising, what happened over 250 years ago, when Americans won their independence). Lingering effects will be felt in September 2022.

December 29, 2022: The U.S. experiences its Pluto return for the third time. Pluto is direct.

Note: I will update this post as we draw closer to the events listed.

So the eclipse on June 5th is occurring while the Sun and Venus are in Gemini and the Moon is in Sagittarius (which is ruled by Mars), and the moon will be squaring Mars on that day. Prepare yourself for intense energy and conflict on both a micro and macro level. Outbursts may be common, provoked or unprovoked. It may be unclear what instigated it, but it will be sure to prompt a swift, and dramatic, if not violent reaction. My advice would be to avoid battles and disagreements because they could blow up and metamorph into very serious, potentially destructive episodes and lead to catastrophic changes and [negative] consequences. That being said, the cosmic energy is currently such that I, unfortunately, am expecting and dreading terrible events/sequence of events to occur during and after this period. The energy of the eclipse is longlasting, of course, so we will see the effects long after June 5th. Perhaps an exercise in caution is best at this time. Remember, it is not always safe to engage in your emotions when the environment does not support your engagement. I sense a lot of aggression will be unpacked for times to come. Very chaotic and raw, unbridled emotions/actions WILL lead to violence during this time.

Just a reminder to check your transits/houses to see where the eclipse falls in. Remember the eclipse is in 15 degrees Sagittarius, so if you have planets on the angles (i.e. the angular houses—1, 4, 7, 10) in mutable signs (Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius), you might see that this is where the energy from the eclipse is concentrated/manifests in your life.

In general, if the eclipse falls in your 12th house, themes involving trauma or past repressed events/experiences, as well as episodes concerning healing from the past may arise, as well as pain and other feelings revolving around the experience or perception of self-isolation or alienation. You may feel lost or abandoned in some way, or, alternatively, you may reconcile with past experiences of abandonment and identity crisis. This eclipse may offer an opportunity to unpack such [negative, defeating] feelings and experiences. If you’ve been suffering from some time, this eclipse might signify an end to this personal suffering and a chance for self-reemergence. Dreams may be very strong and vivid and perhaps violent at this time, and painful reminders may submerge, but this is a merely a reminder of your own resilience. Pay attention to what thoughts come up in your subconscious mind at this time and write down your dreams. This is no coincidence. Process what happens or what has happened to you. Recover. Reimagine. Heal. You are resilient.

If the eclipse falls in your eleventh house, you might be more concerned with the collective and feel an urgency to get more involved with the world. You might also feel that friend groups are intensified at this time, negatively or positively. You may fall out with a close friend or reconsider the company you keep/hang around, or, you may former deeper attachments and connections at this time. You may feel the need to rely on the support of a mentor or become a mentor or healer to others who require those services. There might be changes in your inner circle, or you might feel the need to address issues within your larger community, on both a micro and macro level. You may get involved with many social organizations and causes at this time, whether by donating or participating. Themes of solidarity, community, and social cohesion or integration are important at this time. You might also be pondering what is sustainable and feel more inclined to submit to humanitarian impulses. Now is a good time to give back to the community or look up certain charities. If you are feeling unsatisfied with your personal development or feeling disconnected from your purpose, they might become aware to you. If you’ve been feeling like something has been missing in your life for a while now and have been ignoring it or avoiding dealing with it, it will be impossible to ignore/deny or avoid at this time. Your attitude toward life, beyond your commitment to the activities in your life and even your attitude toward social justice and activism may change during this time. If you’re unsettled, know that it’s okay to be unsettled, but do the work to figure out why. What do you need to feel more comfortable in your position? What do you need to feel like you have a voice in the world? How might you contribute something larger to the world while honoring your self? How might you discover your motivations for being a part of whatever group you currently identify with? What is failing you, and how have you failed yourself? Take the time to reflect and make valuable changes.

If the eclipse falls in your tenth house, you might be thinking of making changes or transformations in your work life, or, you might be pondering whether or not to alter your work/life balance. Issues could arise in the workplace, but not everything may be related to your career. The eclipse falling here might also represent a turning point in your current chosen path, whether or not that is your life path or your career path. It might represent a new opportunity or obstacle you didn’t anticipate. It might mean you having to make tough decisions or compromises. You might have to choose between taking action that could potentially benefit you whilst causing you to have to sacrifice something else you hold dear or taking action that might not please your family or neighbors or friends, but could benefit you in the long run. You might be swayed to consider other realities and possibilities you hadn’t imagined before. You might be approached with offers (doesn’t have to be job-related, just material in nature) that you were expecting or were not expecting. Whatever decision you make, think wisely, because I get the feeling this decision will hold a great deal of gravity/weight for your future. Whatever you choose now will have lasting implications and may re-arise in future occasions. This is also a good time to rebrand or revamp your image, but if you’re going to do so, make sure you’re consciously altering it instead of drastically making overnight changes. The more original you come off, the better. If your intention is to deceive, you’ll be caught. Transparency is key at this time. Now is also a beneficial time to tap into your social awareness. If there were aspects of your self or public behavior you needed to change/modify about yourself, now is a good time. Past errors and mistakes may come back to haunt you and be reflected in how others (superiors, the public, authority figures, i.e. bosses, etc.) may see you. Now is also a time of heightened government, heightened action, tension, public engagement, and heightened voyerurism and documentation. There will be less privacy and a lot of actions will be brought to public attention. You might find yourself having to apologize more or address certain topics you thought were long past. People might attempt to hold a mirror to you. A lot of people with planets that make malefic contacts might find themselves with egg on their face, especially if they have prominent public/social/Internet personalities, channels, or faces, especially those experiencing harsh Pluto transits. Openness to change and experience is beneficiary and encouraged at this time.

Expect to see a lot of announcements, and in that vein, know that any action or behavior from you seen as unwarranted or egregious will be publicly brought to attention and/or announced. Don’t let anyone make an example of you. Now is also not the time to use practices such as intimidation or manipulation to get what you want. Deception will backfire on you. Spectatorship is common at this time. For those of you with strong public reputations or relations, I recommend discernment at this time. Try to avoid discord with powerful/important people, or otherwise attempt to disengage. Failure to do so can result in damaging repercussions and even fractured relationships. I do see a potential for a clash with authorities or a skittle/incident. Positively, I can also see many people digesting positive news in their public and social lives at this time, possibly related to their private life. Some people have opportunities for employment, especially those who have been dying to be hired. I see thoughts of changing vocations, for others, actual changes that may or may not materialize, and avenues to be pursued in terms of seeking public recognition. You may be guided in your aspirations by others who could be a great source of assurance or assurance for you, or you may be finally recognized for your achievements if you’ve been awaiting this right now. For others of you, it may come as a shock, but someone with a great deal of power or influence is either attempting to help you or working very hard to undermine you at this time, though, it might be unbeknownst to you who it is until it is consequently revealed to you in the most altering and unsuspecting ways. This might have damaging or unbelievably rewarding consequences upon your social station/esteem. Not all consequences could be devastating, but it’s good to exercise caution and hold people at a safe distance. If your guard is up, you may identify who is acting suspicion or not working in your best interests.

For those with the eclipse in the 9th house, I see a lot of opportunity for self-engagement and self-growth/human development. A lot of people are going to be expressing devotion toward objectives related to discovering who they are as a person and feel motivated, perhaps, to pursue aims and aspirations about what they need to further their personal goals in life, as well as raising objections to what they find utterly unconscionable. You might feel stirred to engage in social discourse about social injustice and other social ills, currently. Furthermore, you might re-examine how much you value a place of work, ideology, or [social] institution at this time. I also see the potential to alight paths of spirituality or reject them at this time and find alternative sources of faith. Some of you may reach out to God or reconnect with sources of worship or even find your way back to church. More of you may have some kind of struggle with your faith/belief system, whether this is a religious or ideological belief in nature. Something may happen that causes you to either reckon with or contest this knowledge at this time. Hope, healing, justice, and redemption may be themes in your personal lives, and you may be vindicated in your professional life. Now is a time to pursue what you are truly passionate about. Others may feel a strong sense of “knowing” (intuition) at this time. Trust it and let it guide you. Trust, also, in your angels (for those of you who believe in them). Faith can be a huge source of comfort and inspiration at this time. Now is also a refreshing and useful time to create and engage with intellectual projects. For positive reasons or negative ones, you might find yourself in the limelight. Creativity is fostered by introspection and perhaps civic engagement at this time. Some of you may struggle with a sense of meaning, but work to remove self-limiting and self-defeating beliefs at this time through clarity produced from supportive conversations with trusted idols, friends, family members, and other figures in your life. You may be asked to recount certain past experiences but they may offer an unexpected source of light and even procure you an unexpected and advantageous opportunity. Knowledge gained at this time may give you an advantage for a future outcome you have awaited and prepared for, for quite some time now. You might be pleasantly surprised by whatever insights you gain at this time, and you can use it to your advantage if you hone it in at this time. Now is a great time to curate your visual and innovative projects as well as begin the process of unraveling personal narratives—you may see opportunities in education arise, specifically. Now is also a valuable time to attune into your current life philosophy and figure out whether this is hurting or helping you. Is something holding you back? Why? And why have you allowed it to keep you stuck before? Wherever you have felt stuck before, you may come unglued. Authenticity is your greatest asset now, and the most lucid theme for this eclipse, the next being mental expansion and exploration. I recommend identity development and mental road mapping.

Mental journeys are common now. It’s a great time to learn who you have been and understand why you became that person. It’s not too late to change into who you want to be, and if you are comfortable in who you are, now is the perfect time to step into who you are and just be your authentic self instead of feeling as though you have to perform a certain role. Just be yourself. You’ve been feeling like you have to fight for something in your life or fight against a particular circumstance for a while now. This will suddenly be revealed to you, and it might also become apparent that the person you have been fighting is yourself. Trust yourself. Have confidence in your choices and abilities, and take that leap. It will be advantageous to you. I mostly see benefits arising from self-illumination and immaterial, abstract processes at this time, but this, of course, could manifest into concrete, tangible, perhaps even financial gains, as well. Just know you are leaving instability or directionlessness behind, especially those of you with Sagittarius on the 9th house cusp. Now is the time to pick a path and stick to it and embrace the stability and continuity you’ve always wanted. You’ve always had the choice. If you hesitate or remain indecisive, incontinuity may soon follow as a repercussion, especially when Mercury enters retrograde on the 18th. Leave or depart from traditions of falling claim to mental roadblocks. Strategize new opportunities for change. I think you will have success.

For those of you with the eclipse in the 8th house, I see the potential for self-renewal and regeneration or identity reformation. You’re strengthening your core values and coming to terms with your emotions and your bodily responses to your emotions. There may be upheaval revolving intimate connections or past romantic or sex partners. Trigger warning: I’m feeling especially attuned to survivors/victims of sexual abuse right now: I see people reaching out to, exposing, and/or publicly identifying their abusers. This could mean drama, large or small, varying from slight fall-outs to big blow-ups, or they could be as minor as losing contact for good, i.e blocking each other on social media or cellular devices. You might experience some sort of reconnection (negative or positive) with a past partner or previous entanglement (especially an on-and-off one from the vibes I’m getting, though, it could be a one-time encounter) you had from a very long time ago (think a year/a year and a half ago or more/longer). They may show up in your life unexpectedly, you may reach out on your own volition for some urgent reason, or you may feel called to act/respond because something provoked you to speak out. You might castigate or berate them or find yourself battered (not physically, but psychically, energetically, and emotionally) by them. Although the interaction may be tenuous and draining, it may ultimately bring you peace or [conflict] resolution, even if the closure comes in the form of you too never speaking to each other again. I’m feeling like the connection being brought up again is with someone you shared a very intimate, psychic or perhaps sexual relationship with, or someone who significantly impacted your psyche and even potentially caused you trauma (emotional, mental, sexual, etc.) or psychological damage. If this connection re-triggers you, do be sure to seek the appropriate services (therapy, counseling, authorities, if needed and necessary), allow yourself to heal and invite forgiveness into your life—self-forgiveness: by this, I mean to say, forgive yourself for what happened to you. In order to bring yourself peace, just remind yourself that you owe no one forgiveness or understanding, but you owe yourself both at all times. You are feeling and embracing the need to call out people who hurt you and hold them accountable during this time, as you should. Just be prepared for them not to react in a cute and cuddly way. They might terrorize and attempt to defraud you or name you a liar or a terrible person. They will flip the script on you if they can. And since I’m always honest, just know to prepare, in some instances, of being disbelieved if you are to speak up about your trauma, and expect, also, unfortunately, being publicly gaslit or lambasted. Don’t let this stop you from telling your story and enacting justice and healing for yourself, however. You own whatever happened to you.

I also see people from either March or May of this year, June of last year and November-December of last year or May of 2018 potentially showing up in your life, suddenly/dramatically. They may claim to wish to make amends and forsake the past and promise they’re a changed or better person. Whether or not you actually believe and reconcile with this person is up to you. For this feeling, I’m not sure if it’s a universal message or just a message for those with the eclipse in the 8th, so I’m placing the feeling here. I feel like the person coming back or trying to come back is probably one that shouldn’t, however; I’m getting psychic vampire (some say: energy vampire) vibes from them. What I know for sure is that this individual, whether or not they’ve changed, is someone that has brought you a great deal of pain and hurt you tremendously (perhaps even, repeatedly) before. Please don’t open your heart and capacity for forgiveness unto people who have shamelessly traumatized you. If they caused you trauma, let them go. It’s not always about “being the bigger person.” Sometimes being the bigger person means being the smartest person: which is the person who is strong enough to recognize when something or someone is bad news.

Beyond those somewhat intense messages, I also see great opportunities for reenergizing and reconnecting with positive sources. I see a lot of potential for metaphysical activity or even occult activity at this time, strong sexual, psychic, and personal desires, and urges for liberation and rebirth. I also see an opportunity to visualize shedding the death of an old self for good so as to free oneself from a past version of selfhood that didn’t do one any favors. Some of you may be very sensitive to the threat of violence or victimization at this time, and death, of course, is a theme, but not necessarily in terms of literal death, but in terms of the death of a relationship or persona or dream or struggle or consciousness, which leads way to a resurrection of self and consciousness. I see an opportunity to reclaim power and happiness. Empowerment may come in the form of identity reclamation or through unexpected finances, intensely positive social relationships/positive support networks and protective factors, industry, and fulfilling experiences within one’s social and mental life. Physical activity (i.e. sex, gym/exercise, eating) may be particularly pleasurable at this time, or it may be the focus. Pay in-depth attention to your spiritual health at this time, just as much or even more than your physical health. How are you feeling? Where do you feel spiritually weak, uncentered or ungrounded? Where do you feel susceptible to attack or defenseless? What energies are destabilizing you in your life, and how you can counteract them with practices that center them? What grounding techniques can you implement? Is it productive to revisit the past? Check signs of spiritual and physical sickness or poor well-being. Feeling depressed? Unstable? Anxious? Physically sore? Restless? Defeated? Check in with your self. Adjust your attitude toward asking for help. Now is also the time to pay up any debts, if you have any, because they may become a thorn in your back, later. Be patient with yourself. It also wouldn’t hurt to check on your sexual health, and for women, your reproductive health. Also, take the time to ask yourself: what does my body need right now? Space? Movement? Repositioning? Alignment? Rest? Food? Exercise? And remember: you can’t rush healing. Also, track: where does your mind go when it travels? When you daydream? When you zone out? This may tell you a lot about yourself and indicate signs, much deeper, about where you’re going and where you’ve been. Take the time to deconstruct your body and its silence. Its signals and its language. This is also the time to not just examine, but accept uneasy emotions. If you’re angry, get angry. If you’re grieving, process your grief. Allow yourself to grieve, rage, and be happy. Check in on your loved ones as well, especially those with ailing health. The theme for you is consciousness, more specifically, integration of consciousness.

For those with the eclipse in the 7th, you might feel urged to reevaluate your relationships and take the time to imagine whether they are working the way you desire them to. You might contemplate the utility of your romantic relationships and even question the character or integrity of your partner. You might ask: is this someone I can trust? Is this someone I can build a future with? Is this someone I can rely on? You might find yourself entering conflict with partners, especially if you’ve been secretly experiencing dissatisfaction with the relationship for quite some time now. You might feel the need to address issues that have gone unaddressed. Your relationship is more likely to fall apart if you’re with someone you love but don’t like most of the time or someone you like most of the time but can’t respect because of xyz issue, and so on. You might question your partner’s commitment to the relationship, and vice versa. You might question their alliance to you, their values, and their faith or even fidelity. Their loyalty and dependability. You might ask: is my partner reliable? Does my partner make me feel safe? Is this a healthy relationship? Can I trust my partner with my life? If you’ve hit the 6 or 7 year mark in your relationship, especially, because of the Saturn-Pluto contacts/transits currently, you might be tempted to hit the breaks. Those of you with ongoing lawsuits or court cases may arrive to some kind of settlement or agreement. Whether or not the outcome is positive or negative for you depends on your individual charts and where planets are located (as well as what aspects they make, and so on). Your individual transits obviously play a role, additionally. If you’re open to reconciliation with any person, now is a good time to go about it, but if you’ve had a contentious relationship or tumultuous history with that person in the past, my recommendation is to try outside mediation first. This doesn’t necessarily apply to legal terms or arbitration, I simply mean, for example, if you desire to reach out to, say, an ex, for example, perhaps having your friend reach out to his friend and see if he is open to conversing with you. This would be a much smoother path to working issues out than directly reaching out if you have a bad history with the person you may be motivated or compelled to reach out to at this time. Otherwise, I would advise there is no need for outside intervention or mediation. Still, take the time to consider which relationships (romantic or business), including friendships, may be worth saving at this time. Others may need to be peacefully abandoned.

If you’re considering cutting ties, doing so in a friendly way is advisable. If you do it in a malicious way, it may come back to bite you: remember that this eclipse is ruled by Mars, the planet of aggression and dispute. Conflict is on the rise at this time, you want to avoid fanning the flames, rather than throwing kerosene on them. Take deliberate but pragmatic action. Try not to be hostile. Softness and tenderness will do wonders at this time, but if that cannot be managed, tact is always welcomed. Intensity will look like hostility at this time. Pay particular attention to your one-on-one relationships; also, paying special attention to the needs of your best friends who may or may not be open with some of the challenges they’re currently facing or experiencing may be greatly appreciated at this time. Remember you don’t need a tragedy or emergency to happen to perform a wellness check. Check in on your friends once in a while is what I normally advise, but during these challenging times, more is better. Actively be a part of your friends’ lives and remind them you care. Your focus may be on others at this time, but remember to send yourself some self-love and self-care, as well. Better learn to establish and balance your needs with others/theirs. You should be a priority in your life, but others’ needs matter, too. Just don’t treat your own needs as secondary, and don’t neglect your responsibilities to other humans! Work on your communication, too. This skill will be needed to resolve any potential disputes that may arise. I suspect certain conflicts are on the horizon, some of which have been brewing for some time, but somebody, maybe you, has been trying to keep the peace. Something as little as a slight difference in views at this time may provoke a large argument. Don’t fan the fumes. Exit the smoking car! Relationships could very much go through breaks and break-ups or otherwise encounter obstacles and tests. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, return to the source of your doubt and remind yourself of your motivations for being in the relationship or your reasions for caring. Go upriver or detour. Decide whether it’s time to step away and pull or peel back from relationships or hold tight. The theme of this eclipse is related to partnerships, but partnering is not just about intimate or even romantic relationships, it’s also about the self! Especially if you are self-partnered. Seclusion may be your instinct, but it might cause others to feel as though you don’t care, so strive to make an effort to be present and engaged.

For those of you with the eclipse in the sixth house, you may particularly be sensitive to the events happening inside your body at this time. If you’ve been experiencing a great deal of stress right now, especially racial-based stress, you’ll feel it in your body, in the form of headaches, back aches, abdomen stitches, general body aches, chronic pain or soreness, and it may manifest into physical illness. You might also face new, unexpected situations in work and may be expected to make compromises you find unfair or unfitting. You may be frustrated with your colleagues or the higher-ups, or otherwise disgruntled with the pace or atmosphere of your work, workspace, or place of work. You’re going to be placing a great deal of attention upon your work environment or your company’s culture. If you’ve been out of work/found yourself unemployed as a result of coronavirus, I see that some of you may find yourself approached with news that you can return to or otherwise recover those jobs. This will be a relief for many of you, but it may turn out to be a disappointment later when Mercury enters retrograde on June 18th. There may be components of the job that have changed as a result of the circumstances that may make your life/job harder in a myriad of ways.

The eclipse in the 6th house may also urge you to reconsider your health. If you’ve been suffering mentally or physically, it’s going to show up now, and the reminder will be persistent. You may find yourself faced with certain surprises, health crises, or even possible emergency situations if you neglect your body at this time. Consider not only sources of physical pain, but sources of mental fatigue when attempting to increase your energy and vitality. Monitor your health and any signs of decay or illness. Decline or frustration with work or life can show up in many ways in our everyday lives, as well as in our perceptions of our body. This is also the time to search for ways of improving the self, one’s social health, and one’s happiness and overall well-being. Determine the greatest contributing factor to feeling well and implement it. Determine the greatest contributing factor to feeling poor and work to get rid of it or minimize its influence. Increase the effectiveness of your efforts by engaging in activities known to increase physical wellness, such as fitness, good nutrition, and hydration. Go to the doctor if you’re feeling unwell. Change your daily habits and routines if they’re unproductive to your overall well-being. If reading the news everyday causes you mental anguish and vicarious trauma, stop checking it everyday. Try a couple days a week. Limit the amount of time you spend on social media. Engage in pleasant activities you enjoy. This may be listening to music or cooking, sculpting or drawing, painting and making pottery and other arts and crafts, singing, dancing, journaling, watching cartoons, socializing, etc. You have a duty to yourself before you have a duty to work or others. Make sure you’re putting yourself first. Prioritize your health and happiness above all else. Make time for yourself. Downsize certain obligations. Anticipate changes in work routines/schedules and even employment. Just as I said I see many people rejoining the workforce, I also see many people having their hours cut or otherwise experiencing some reduction in either hours or pay. Prepare for undesirable health or work outcomes and do your best to cope with them. Seek help if needed. The theme of this eclipse is health and wellness.

For those of you with the eclipse in the 5th house, now is the time to consider what you want, what you need, and what gives you joy. Whatever arouses your passion is what motivates your interest. Whatever is capable of this enlivens, entices, energizes, and intrigues you. Now is the time to engage in playful activity. Leisure, recreation, and excitement are your three main pleasure principles. Me time is important, creativity is important, having fun and playing games is imperative, keeping your spirit high is important, and receiving gifts or surprises is just icing on the cake. Your task is to find a way to incorporate these elements into your life, especially considering the stresses of the current pandemic and everything else happening in the world. You need to devote your energy to the existence of whatever makes you feel happy to be alive and whatever makes you jovial and celebratory. This is the time to celebrate your achievements and your potential. It’s the time to champion your abilities. More importantly, it’s the time to champion your humanity. Remind the world who you are. Show them your name, your intelligence, your creativity and innovation. Embrace your inner star [power.] What does empowerment look like for you? Is it finding yourself a hobby to excel at? Is it finding the profound, sacred, and profane, and making sense of your experiences? Is it your ability to uncover pleasure? Is it found in romance and dating? Is it found in inspiring children or raising them? Untap whatever drives you and use it to impel your movement and position in society. Use it to make a bold statement about how real, valid, important, and exceptional your existence is. Use it to prove to yourself and never the world how valuable you are, how powerful you are, and how worthy you are of acknowledgment and life and celebration. Demonstrate your excellence without hesitation so no one can take it away from you. Channel your childlike joy without inhibition. Joy is the pathway to liberation. The theme of this eclipse is personal empowerment and the pursuit of passion. Unlocking one’s inner child is the doorway to self-discovery and the key to freedom. I didn’t feel the need to mention it, but it goes without saying that short dalliances and romantic flings or perhaps no-strings attachments may be pursued now.

For those of you with the eclipse in the 4th house, you may see energy focused around family matters. Beyond matters concerning family life, there be the potential for strife with those one considers family, such as very close friends or perhaps godparents. Struggles with parents may be common at this time, too. Particularly with mom if the moon is involved and dad if Saturn is involved, but remember it could go either way, especially when considering the influence of the other planets. This is the time to think about your inner self and examine what makes you feel at home and whether or not you currently feel that way in your contemporary life. If not, you need to ask yourself: what do I need to feel at home in the world? What do I need to feel at home within my own household? What do I need to feel secure in life? You might consider a change in address(es). You might consider relocation in a larger scale, e.g. a move from Florida to Texas. You might need to alter your physical home environment, i.e. by redecorating the kitchen or cleaning your room, or by putting plants in the office or creating a meditation room, etc. You might repaint your bedroom and add furniture to the living room or make your house or apartment/living space more minimalist in decor. You might go for a more homey look or a complete change in pace. You might start some construction projects and tear down the second bedroom or start a demolition project for the garage. You might renovate your basement. Or, you might add a ceiling fan in the formal dining room, place artwork in the bathroom, buy a new fridge, and go from pastel grays, pinks, blues, and greens, marble floors and white tiles, fluorescent lighting and dark carpeting to neon lights, redwoods or brown wood panels (flooring), granite countertops, bright reds and scarlets, burning mahogany, dark golds, and blacks, or perhaps go from country-chic and mid-Western rustic to Moroccan palace. You might become more enigmatic about your private life; alternatively, you might become more open about who you’re dating and even introduce them to your family/take the next steps if you haven’t yet. Conversely, you might take a step back in your relationship if it’s becoming too serious so as to slow it down, or you might become more secretive about your partner and downplay the seriousness of your relationship.

At this point in time, you are probably preoccupied with emotional safety and physical security. It’s important to pay attention to what patterns arise at this time concerning stability, order, structure, and your idea of consistency or foundation. What is the foundation of your relationship? What is the foundation of your home life? What is the foundation of your values? Where are they solid and where are they vulnerable? What can they be crippled by? What are you doing to ‘safeguard’ yourself, protect yourself, wall people out or lock them in? What are you doing to make yourself feel safe and secure, and what makes you feel like there is a threat to your safety? Now is also a great time to rediscover your roots. Remind yourself of what makes you ‘you.’ Read your favorite literature. Your favorite poet or author. Return to the place that makes you feel at home, maybe it’s your partner’s home or simply your individual partner, maybe it’s the library, maybe it’s the beach, when you’re collecting seashells, maybe it’s your bed or your bathtub, maybe it’s the kitchen when you’re making your grandma’s infamous coffee cake or the restaurant where you had your first date, or maybe it’s at the dinner table with your favorite sibling, bonding over Uno and sliced bread. Maybe it’s just a sentiment. It’s a cozy sweater, a warm meal, your oldest trinket, the look of your house upon entry, your grandmother’s smile, your sister’s crooked glasses, your brother’s favorite blanket, your boyfriend’s car, a long drive, a hug. Maybe it’s a handwritten letter or an expensive bracelet. Your favorite dress, your lucky socks. Maybe it’s a smell. Like freshly baked lasagna, your mother’s cherry perfume, your vanilla wafer. Maybe it’s whatever fills you with longing, nostalgia, or even despair. The theme of this eclipse is belonging, security, and solidifying connection to whatever makes you feel “at home.”

For those of you with the eclipse in the 3rd house, communication may be the theme. Relationships with siblings may also be at the forefront at this time, and much attention may be paid to intellectual pursuits, such as activities pertaining to reading, writing, creating, innovating, designing, computing, or intellectualizing. Intellectualism is obviously a dominant focus at this time, but now is also a good time to reflect upon one’s mindset and reconsider cognitive frames that no longer benefit or serve one. To be of service to oneself, one has to be critical of oneself to a certain extent, but consider how this ceases to be productive or beneficial when one fails to generate any sort of meaningful activity from this intense investigation. Sometimes we spend so much time focusing on what we’re thinking that we fail to construct a message because too little action is performed in accordance to the desired intention. We ought to spend less time thinking and more time verbalizing. The capacity for miscommunication is high at this time, so it is important that people experiencing this transit take great pains to be as lucid as possible when articulating their thoughts, desires, and intentions. Learning how to be an effective communicator (whether in speaking or writing) is beneficial to one during this period. The theme of this eclipse is related to improving upon one’s communicative abilities. Now is also a good time to invest in or contribute cultural products and share one’s ideas or artistic enterprises, skills, and contributions. Imaginative abilities and prowess will be celebrated and encouraged at this time.

For those of you with the eclipse in the 2nd house, you may be experiencing worry about your finances or the potential loss of your savings. Beyond monetary fears, you may be feeling weighed down by material concerns such as bills, mortgages, upkeep of living faculties, quality of life, air, food, or water, and a dearth of resources. You may also feel overwhelmed with your past expenses and current spending, or you may be faced with an unfortunate situation that takes an unexpected blow upon your financial stability status. Your financial situation, if not worrisome, may cross the line into dire, but if you have positive transits or planets making beneficial aspects, such as having transiting Jupiter in the 2nd, for instance, you may be relieved from the burden of financial stress and may even find money coming your way. Those of who you are eligible for outside relief from whatever organization or institution (i.e. higher education or government) may suddenly find that stripped away, or, conversely, find yourself alleviated of much financial need as a result of this help. You might also have an outside benefactor (i.e. friend, neighbor, parent, or anonymous donator) chip in and help your financial straits. If you’re not concerned with assets or money at this time, anything related to physical security, primarily, is going to occupy your mind. You might not feel safe in your physical body or safe in your home. You may be worried about your businesses; you may also suffer a loss as a result of damages to your property or businesses. You may be fearful of physically losing your life. These losses or fear of losses may set you back, but they will not ultimately prevent you from making/securing a living, though, they will either jeopardize you or make it difficult for you, somehow. Now is the time to lean on others for support, emotionally, physically, and financially. Asking for help if you need it is never a weakness. Now is also a great time to enable yourself to use your resourcefulness and quick thinking or problem-solving capacities to get yourself out of tricky situations and overcome setbacks. If you’re crafty, you can come up with inventive ways to generate new sources of income. You can freelance. You can offer your services and charge for them. You can ask for donations and extra funds. You can sell products on Etsy or commission art. You can also use your resources to help gather funds for others who need it. Crowdfunding is made much easier here, during this transit. It will be much easier to locate potential sources of assistance and be supported in your efforts.

Beyond this dimension of stability (financial security), you will be experiencing a sudden emphasis upon your value system which might provoke you to process your self-attitudes. You might take the time to truly dive into potentially triggering episodes so as to understand why, for example, you have low self-esteem. You may focus upon rebuilding your self-confidence at this time and affirming your worth. Finding material security might mean something more than having a home or having a partner or having food or having friends or having money, it might mean honing in on values that attract these needs into one’s life. It might mean reshaping one’s beliefs and worldview and increasing one’s self-knowledge. It might entail giving up some possessions in order to get others. The theme of this eclipse is temerity, endurance and perseverance, and it may almost certainly involve restructuring or rethinking one’s life and/or one’s valuables. Self-sacrifice is also a theme that may emerge. Earthiness is accepted and expected. But just as one with the eclipse in the 12th house may feel the need to retreat from the world at this time, someone with this transit in the 2nd needs to transcend this current reality or struggle that is oppressing them and liberate themselves by acknowledging perhaps undesirable feelings and situations they would rather repress.

For those with the eclipse in the 1st house, rebuilding and re-centering one’s self-concept is the main goal during this time. One is concerned with one’s self-orientation, but also concerned about how this image reflects upon the world. One might feel the need to make changes with one’s appearance at this time, which may involve physically changing one’s look or dressing differently or dyeing one’s hair color. It may involve changing one’s energy or aura (lightening up the mood) or altering one’s facial expressions to communicate more feeling and interest. It might involve experimenting with wigs or makeup or alternative styles and branding. It might involve modifying one’s demeanor, manner, persona, image, or approach to the world. One might play up a certain character and adopt a certain look—a manufactured one. May not feel real or may be accused of acting out of the ordinary, as if “acting out of character” makes one unreal. One may be typified or typecast or act as if costumed (not physically wearing a costume, psychologically). One might change their footsteps or mannerisms, their facial or bodily/physical movements, the way they sit, the way they talk, the way they clasp their arms or hands, the way they socialize, etc. It might involve changing one’s social self and social performance. Energy is related to one’s social impression. Just as one with an eclipse in the 11th house may use their personhood as an organizing tool, someone with a 1st house transit may mobilize their physical appearance or outward psychic appearance into social or physical activity. One’s self-awareness and subjective emotional experience is highlighted at this time. Particular focus will remain on one’s self-identity, but identity may be difficult to resolve at this time due to one wearing a particular mask that conceals the genuine character of the individual. Individuals at this time may appear to undergo an identity crisis; they may act unsocial when previously extroverted. They may act rebellious when previously shy and expressive of conformity to social norms. They may act out when previously well-behaved. They may transform from goth/gothic skater girl to peppy princess, etc. Personal transformations are common, though, they may be very superficial in nature; however, they will appear very intense and radical. Change will come as a surprise, a dramatic and unaccounted for and unaccepted one.

Keeping with the energy of melodrama, melodramatic outer expressions will have consequences upon the outer world/social world, which will examine the self critically and perhaps oddly, though, inquisitively. The self-image is projected onto others and in this way, seems less natural and genuine. A genuine desire for change may surface, but one’s self-expression may actually prevent one from being seen or heard or validated in society, especially if one’s personal expression is not perceived well. Don’t be surprised if these changes are rendered artificial or deemed irrational. Change may not be tolerated. One could be ostracized or made a loner, the oddball out. One might be disparaged even as one is seemingly accepted. One’s self seems ambiguous at this time, hard to pin down. Others’ assessment of their character might change at this time as a result. Don’t be surprised to hear “you’re not who I thought you were” or “I feel like I don’t even know you anymore” or “who are you?” or “I feel like you’ve deceived me” or “it’s not natural” or “you don’t even know who you are anymore.” People might have difficulty seeing you for who you really are and coming to terms or peace with you at this time. You might experience rejection when all you want is acceptance. You might not even have to drastically alter or even modify your appearance at all for people to act as if you’ve somehow changed in ways they cannot fathom, understand, or accept. This might cause you to feel lonely and alienated, alone in the world, an outsider perhaps. You might feel exiled or strained or unwanted, like someone with a transit in the 12th house. The theme of this eclipse encompasses embracing vulnerability, but it is mostly related to increased subjectivity. Your sense of self will experience tension. You will experience a heightened sense of self-awareness and social awareness. Make sure not to be crippled or ashamed by others’ responses to you and try to stay true to who you are instead of trying to be someone else or trying to fit into a certain mold. Internal identity confusion might manifest into outward confusion, manipulation, or obsession with physical appearance. Embodiment will also be a recurring theme at this time. The question of who am I? may persist, and you may consistently struggle to have inward peace with your individuality because of others’ reckoning of your individuation.

Note: my advice to all is to make sure what you’re doing, participating or believing in, and pursuing is organic at this time. Anything that is not may be purged or taken from you at this time, or it may come to your attention that certain situations aren’t as well-meaning, whole, or good as you previously thought they were. It’s time to critically explore and unpack the social realities of everything you observe and participate in, from your relationships, to your own self-processes, to the events happening in the world. Failure to notice will bring consequences (inaction is not an option).

Upcoming events:

Lunar eclipse on June 5th, 2020 in 15 degrees Sagittarius (will affect everyone but especially mutable placements, Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, Sagittarius). Full moon @ 3:12 p.m. EDT. Effects can be felt on June 6th.

Lunar eclipse on July 4th (American Independence Day), 2020 in 13 degrees Capricorn. Full moon @ 12:44 a.m. EDT on July 5th, 2020. Eclipses that fall on a full moon typically have larger scale repercussions because full moons signify endings/something coming to a close. I wonder what this means for America, especially in the midst of a crisis and a large scale public response to the viruses of Covid-19 and racism. Hopefully there is some kind of positive resolution, but I’m leaning toward negative at the time being, just based on a preliminary assessment of the transits at this time. This eclipse will affect everyone, especially cardinal placements (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn). Be mindful of that fact that the transits at this time mirror, astrologically, the transits that occurred on 9/11, 19 years ago.

Solar eclipse on June 21, 2020 (energy will be felt on June 20th as well). New moon @ 2:41 a.m. EDT in 0 degrees Cancer. Cardinal signs should be particularly mindful (Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn).

Super New Moon on October 16, 2020 at 3:31 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) in 23 degrees Libra (how fitting!). Cardinal signs (Libra, Aries, Cancer, Capricorn) should feel this heavily.

Lunar eclipse on November 29, 2020. Full moon on November 30, 2020 @ 4:30 a.m. EST in 8 degrees Gemini. Mutable placements (Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces, Virgo) will likely be the most impacted.

Total Solar eclipse on December 14, 2020 @ 11:16 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) in 23 degrees Sagittarius. New moon. Mutable placements will be strongly affected (Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius).

The following events will happen a long time from now in the future, but be on the look out!

March/April 2021: retrograde Pluto conjoins the natal Pluto of the U.S.A.

May 26, 2021: total eclipse of the moon

June 10, 2021: solar eclipse

November 19, 2021: lunar eclipse

December 4, 2021: total eclipse of the sun

February 19, 2022: The U.S. experiences its Pluto return in Capricorn (think American Revolution—is there potential for not just riots, but civil rebellion again?) On February 20th, Pluto will be direct. Side effects will be strong in March 2022.

July 11, 2022: The U.S. experiences its Pluto return in Capricorn while Pluto is retrograde (think civil uprising, what happened over 250 years ago, when Americans won their independence). Lingering effects will be felt in September 2022.

December 29, 2022: The U.S. experiences its Pluto return for the third time. Pluto is direct.

Note: I will update this post as we draw closer to the events listed.

I hope everyone is safe and healthy, as well as taking time to be angry about the incredible history and present reality of state-sanctioned violence, which is state-sponsored crime, against African Americans.

If you do not believe in racial equality and you do not support human rights for AA’s and/or if you believe in white supremacy and are someone whom identifies as pro-white AND anti-black or as a Donald Trump supporter, your morality does not align with mine, and you are ethically and morally (beyond politically, okay?) my enemy, which is to say, this blog is not for you. You are no friend of mine.

If you identify as the following indicators for which I’ve marked to be abhorrent to my morality system, I would like to publicly make it absolutely clear: This space does not exist for you. This blog does not welcome you. This blog will not engage in any form of dialogue or discourse with you. This blog rebuffs and rejects you and your kind.

Therefore, if you have beliefs that oppose mine, I calmly, respectfully, and wholeheartedly ask you to remove your presence from this blog so there can be no association between us, meaning, unfollow, block, whatever, so your energy cannot contaminate this space.

So the eclipse on June 5th is occurring while the Sun and Venus are in Gemini and the Moon is in Sagittarius (which is ruled by Mars), and the moon will be squaring Mars on that day. Prepare yourself for intense energy and conflict on both a micro and macro level. Outbursts may be common, provoked or unprovoked. It may be unclear what instigated it, but it will be sure to prompt a swift, and dramatic, if not violent reaction. My advice would be to avoid battles and disagreements because they could blow up and metamorph into very serious, potentially destructive episodes and lead to catastrophic changes and [negative] consequences. That being said, the cosmic energy is currently such that I, unfortunately, am expecting and dreading terrible events/sequence of events to occur during and after this period. The energy of the eclipse is longlasting, of course, so we will see the effects long after June 5th. Perhaps an exercise in caution is best at this time. Remember, it is not always safe to engage in your emotions when the environment does not support your engagement. I sense a lot of aggression will be unpacked for times to come. Very chaotic and raw, unbridled emotions/actions WILL lead to violence during this time.

I want to add that people with heavy/strong mutable placements (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) will feel the energy of the eclipse most heavily/be the most impacted.

Pluto in the 1st and 12th houses

Pluto in the 12th House natives have deep, rich inner lives, but often suffer privately from intense mental battles and struggles. These people are often intimately acquainted with the notion of suffering. They feel pain very heavily and if not careful, they can let it consume and ravage them. I’ve noticed a lot of these natives are intensely talented or artistic or creative, in fact, a lot of musicians have this placement; that being said, natives also seem to immensely struggle with severe depression for they are easily overcome with unfortunate life events and stresses/stressors. Sometimes, it may feel as though life has it out for them. They may grapple with despondency or chronic depression. These individuals can struggle to remain positive when it seems their faith is always tested, but these individuals are also gifted with extraordinary willpower and intense focus, discipline, and dedication. They have the power to make all their dreams come true; their superpower is their relentless ambition, and the responsibility they feel to the world to prove themselves: this is their number one obligation and promise to themselves. They hardly ever fail in this act: proving themselves. Many of them deeply struggle with insecurity and may have an inferiority complex or suffer from imposter syndrome when it comes to their beliefs in their talents or abilities. They battle against these fears, doubts, and anxieties when they consistently demonstrate how bold, how fearless, how determined, and how gifted they are. They do, however, often internalize their failures as proof of some kind of self-issue, some inadequacy, some inability to do good, some lack, proof of bad performance, etc. They need to realize that even when they feel subpar, the work they do is optimal, and the world can use their gifts, so they should embrace all the skills they have to offer. One of the downsides of this placement is that while these natives often fall in love with potential, they most often fail to see their own. They also need to stop doubting the possibility of an outcome and start finishing what they start to reap the efforts of what they produce, so even if they do manage to not live up to their own exceptionally high standards, they will know it is because it wasn’t the right project and not that they weren’t the right person for the job. Sometimes, they can truly be their own worst enemy; they need to stop letting their inner voice undermine their relationships and their lives. They build walls sky high around their heart because they don’t want to be let down, and if their defenses are up, they falsely believe their security can’t be threatened. Many carry deep wounds stemming from unhappy childhoods, wounds they have lodged deep inside of them. Many have never fully recovered from or properly addressed traumatic life experiences. May have an aversion to or distrust of not only modern medicine, doctors, and healing practices, but a distrust of hospitals, therapists, psych units, and counseling, as well. May have issues talking about their deep-rooted fears.

Very private, complex individuals. Vigilant because they’ve experienced harrowing episodes or encountered visions they should have never had to bear. May have been witness to shocking events they shouldn’t have seen. May often find themselves in the wrong place, wrong time scenario. Often seeks out danger. Parts of them are incredibly reckless, daredevil-like, driven, and sensation-seeking. Finds not comfort, but intense pleasure in thrill and high-risk activity. Constantly chasing a high—not necessarily drug-induced—and pushing the boundaries of themselves. Constantly defying self-limits. Often suffers from loneliness and feels exiled from the world or even rejected or unaccepted because they’re too weird or dark or unusual or frightening, in a way that they don’t follow the rules, or they’re the black sheep of some sorts, but more often than not, their isolation is self-imposed. Well-versed with their shadow side. Trust doesn’t come easy to them, but once they have it and it remains unbroken, you will have their loyalty for life. They also reward loyalty. Their friends/confidantes are their closest allies. Harbor many secrets. Has addictive habits. May have grief due to private dilemmas. Feels uncomfortable with but unafraid of death. Intense control issues—if not properly resolved, this can lead them to be very controlling. Intense love affairs. May have a hard-knock life, even if successful career-wise, with many ups and downs. May have difficulty regulating or controlling their emotions. May struggle to find inner peace. May question their purpose or belonging. May feel trapped or powerless in situations involving spiritual matters—i.e. God—or earthly/temporal matters, such as life or death. May feel tested and challenged by unpredictability but thrive off of it or need an element of unpredictability in their lives to feel useful, inspired, or creative. Creativity is often linked to deep pain, in these natives. It is often an emotional outlet for them. These natives feel uncomfortable when they feel seen by others. Incredibly resilient, brave individuals. They lack a strong self-concept. Identity is weathered by forces the natives cannot always see but are often held back by. Struggles with deep sadness and loss or grave emotional pain at times. Feels strongest when not experiencing the uncomfortable emotion of regret—this emotion is the most difficult for them to confront/contend with. They’d rather feel nothing at all. Natives may have a stark view of themselves or a black and white picture of the world. Their internal or external reality/world may be harsh to them or unlivable.

Pessimistic at times, prone to cynicism. Intensely probing, thoughtful, solemn, demonstrative, reserved. Much internal activity. Acutely sensitive to their environments—emotional/psychic and physical. Senses, intuits, and often feels other people’s emotions. Perceives others’ objectives or goals, and others’ thoughts of them. Has an instinctive grasp on human nature, especially of the shadows and the darkness and all else that is germane to the human condition. Suffers a lot in the world, sometimes by their own hand/as a result of their own doing (self-inflicted pain is often their coping mechanism). Needs better coping skills—healthy ones. May self-harm or turn to self-destructive behavior when in a rough spot. May be the victim of poverty during youth. May duel themselves. Often subject to high stress. May believe in the existence of supernatural entities, i.e. ghosts, aliens, demons, etc. Very active imagination, dark thoughts that they attempt to run away from. Seeks refuge in solitude. Silent by choice. Natural observer. Knows more than they seem to know. Omits on purpose. May have unusual proclivities, i.e. engage in activities considered taboo or NSFW. In touch with their “wild” side—the parts of themselves most people are uncomfortable with. Relishes in what makes people uncomfortable. Finds joy and incomparable beauty in that. Attempts to fill a void caused by a state of incompleteness. Strives to assuage that with superficial emotions, relationships or vices, but it only leaves them more desperate and more empty, feeling more deprived. Always analyzing themselves and others. Danger of too much self-analysis. May be prone to self-violence (real or metaphorical). Intrigued by distressing situations, moodiness and violence. Doesn’t like nosiness. Prone to internal self-conflict and fanatical obsessions. Strong sexual appetites. May feed into lies or deceit out of self-preservation. May disguise selfishness through seemingly selfless sacrifices/acts, which are used to gain the favor of someone so they can do their bidding. Can be forceful or coercive at times. Very fixed and untenable at times. Learns a lot about life through painful experiences and private ordeals or feelings of being in crisis or having suffered identity or existential or health crises. These obstacles only serve to make them stronger and build/solidify their character, however. Adversity feeds and replenishes their spirit and helps them sprout wings, though, it feels like swallowing poison. They may, however, experience bouts of mortal illness or encounter near fatality as a result of such ordeals and life tests/tragedies, which is a testament to their individual strength. Clings to a feeling of independence and armors themselves with it. The first to say “I can do it on my own”—needs, not wants to make it through life saying they did it without help. Needs to realize that everybody needs help sometimes and they can’t indeed do it all on their own. There’s no shame in needing help or needing to take a break sometimes. Emotional scars must be dealt with. May be malicious or spiteful/vindictive when angry, which can come back to them in the form of karma. May face/encounter many near-death experiences in their lifetime or remember past lifetimes of violence or violent death. May have vivid and possibly violent dreams or suffer from nightmares. May be haunted by the past in the form of past lovers, past unresolved traumas, past relationships/friendships, past actions, past bills, past secrets, etc. Their past is never unburied, it seems. It always comes back to bite them. Seduced or entranced by the notion of revenge, for some, others by the idea of creating something permanent, whether via their work or via they, themselves.

Pluto in the 1st House natives inspire intense feelings from others—positive or negative. Public reaction to them is nearly always extreme—they are either worshipped or conspired against, loathed and plotted against. They inspire very polarizing reactions from people. For as many people rooting for their downfall, or for as many haters as they have, they have admirers who believe they can do no wrong. They attract massive fanfare and devotion from those who do support them, who often support them for life in a ride-or-die fashion. These individuals tend to suffer many private betrayals and public backlashes or attacks on their character and reputation. They are often subject to nasty rumors and lies made up by those who hate them or want to see them “ruined” or “destroyed.” Most of it is not true, but these attempts at character assassination often successfully taint their image or sully the general public’s perception of them. They often have to win them back. May have to admit or show weaknesses or give the allusion of groveling in order to gain public support again. Often loses themselves and has to recover themselves. If not careful, they can destroy themselves, as they are very self-destructive people. May turn to drugs or negative coping mechanisms such as gambling or alcoholism or other recreational drug use when feeling defeated or down in life. Doesn’t really know how to address painful, negative emotions without being swallowed by them. Often ruin themselves trying to cope with the pain they feel internally that they can’t escape. Paranoid and untrusting, but for good reason. A lot of people close to them have shady intentions or are trying to use them or manipulate them or get close to them for deceptive motives. May be subject to blackmail by friends turned enemies, lovers turned enemies, and so on, more than actual perceived enemies/foes. Are often “ruined” by those closest to them, though, while these attempts may seem victorious, those with Pluto in the 1st house or Pluto conjunct Ascendant often triumph in the end because they rule comebacks. If anything, being “canceled” or reviled only motivates them. They will succeed at all costs, and no hate can prevent that. These natives possess a controlled image. Part of them wants to be known, more of them wants to be unknown, or at the very least, they wish to control what you do see of them. They are often obsessed with power, their own and that of others. Gaining power, losing power, reducing someone else’s power, etc. Feels most empowered when they are in control. Needs to feel like the boss or the one running the show/pulling the strings. Needs to feel like an authority figure.

Often is very close to a mentor or father-like figure that tends to be older and wiser, often in the field of business or coaching. May manufacture an enigmatic personality or genuinely have one but hide behind it for privacy or safety purposes. Fearful of being anyone’s puppet. Doesn’t want to give their power away. Fears being controlled by others and retaliates when they feel dictated to or controlled. Their relationships are often high-stakes, high drama, and emotionally demanding. May be addicted to toxic people—drama and chaos, especially of the emotional kind, and power struggles give them a rush, though, they may deny this and claim they hate drama and toxicity. Can be manipulated or abused in relationships, or they themselves can abuse their power, especially if they are abusing a substance or easily influenced at the time. Often in crisis. These natives tend to have deep, penetrating gazes and luminous eyes. For as much as they value privacy, when they do inevitably have a fall from grace, it is often painfully, visibly made public, quite to their embarrassment, and all their secrets are “exposed.” Most of them try to get ahead of potential scandals or involuntary public releases about them by self-disclosing embarrassing, scandalous information or personally divulging their secrets and “exposing” themselves so they get ahead of the story and don’t become the story, so they control the narrative. Control is really important to them—not just the illusion of it but the actual concept of being able to take action or determine the course of an event without being dictated by it. They often disappear and reappear in the public eye at will. These are not the type of people to go make an apology on the notes app when they do something the public doesn’t like. They will address their actions when they feel like it and if they feel like it and only if they do feel like it, always on their own terms. And they don’t apologize unless they mean it, so don’t expect to see them putting out disingenuous statements. They always have their guard up because they are weary of being hurt and they’re used to going through unsettling situations. Have dry humor and strong hungers/appetites/lusts; may be shady at times. Have dealt with a lot of trauma in their lives, for many early on, in their childhood. May succumb to their deepest, innermost fears if not careful. May suffer from intense paranoia—always suspicious of loved ones. Fear of being [double-]crossed or backstabbed. May have a difficult time forgiving or understanding people who turn their back on them. A sense of mystery surrounds them. Time does not heal their pain. Struggle feeling isolated and alone but needs lots of alone time and goes through periods where they shut themselves off from everybody and go ghost for a while, typically to recover from private battles, or draw back/recover strength from life. Acutely aware of their own mortality. Recovery to them looks like healing. They often call this—healing—surviving.

Resolute, assertive individuals. Can contradict themselves at times. A web of contradictions emerge when specifically attempting to define who they are. Struggles to feel healthy emotions, easily overpowered by their own excess emotional energy. Can feel dead inside sometimes. Often secretly struggles with addiction, past trauma (including in some cases sexual or emotional or physical abuse, depending on other factors, as well), and suicidal ideation. Frequently possesses a low mood or bleak outlook on life. Struggles to keep positive. Finds enlightenment in the most unexpected, unusual places. Often finds God or the spiritual equivalent after some tragedy—doesn’t have to be a near-death experience—or after hitting rock bottom, however they define it—this may be losing the love of their life, being fired from their job, being publicly ousted or held accountable for some moral breach, being sued, being accused of alleged wrongdoing, true or false, etc. They nearly have to lose everything—or what is most important to them—to come to some great epiphany or startling realization and make drastic changes in their life. Sometimes, they may wait until it’s too late. Difficult to decipher. Subject to varying moods, sulking, and general somber periods. Some natives may have a morbid fascination (curiosity) with their own death, or on the opposite side, a healthy fear of it. May struggle to have/develop/facilitate a healthy relationship, not only with others, but with themselves. Good judge of character, but can be blinded by infatuation or blind trust at times. When they fall, they fall hard. Very intuitive and sensitive, perceptive individuals. Self-transformation often comes at the cost of something they want, including their selves. Sometimes, it’s as though parts of them have to die in order for more of them to live. Often very powerful, secretive individuals who come to amass much power in life, but can just as easily lose it. Overwhelmingly strong survival instinct. A need to conquer, to be the best, and to win. Dominant personalities. Difficult to know, not difficult to love. Tend to have many secret admirers and enemies, and are feverishly wanted or desired by those who can’t or shouldn’t have, want, or want to have them. Besides having a magnetic gaze, these natives often have an intriguing, possibly even sexual aura that either strongly repels or attracts others. After a breakup, can be demonized or made the villain by past vengeful partners, especially if there were sordid affairs or the native was unfaithful.

Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏽

No problem ❤️

Public reaction to them is nearly always extreme—they are either worshipped or conspired against, loathed and plotted against. They inspire very polarizing reactions from people. For as many people rooting for their downfall, or for as many haters as they have, they have admirers who believe they can do no wrong. They attract massive fanfare and devotion from those who do support them, who often support them for life in a ride-or-die fashion. These individuals tend to suffer many private betrayals and public backlashes or attacks on their character and reputation. They are often subject to nasty rumors and lies made up by those who hate them or want to see them “ruined” or “destroyed.” Most of it is not true, but these attempts at character assassination often successfully taint their image or sully the general public’s perception of them. They often have to win them back. May have to admit or show weaknesses or give the allusion of groveling in order to gain public support again. Often loses themselves and has to recover themselves. If not careful, they can destroy themselves, as they are very self-destructive people. May turn to drugs or negative coping mechanisms such as gambling or alcoholism or other recreational drug use when feeling defeated or down in life. Doesn’t really know how to address painful, negative emotions without being swallowed by them. Often ruin themselves trying to cope with the pain they feel internally that they can’t escape. Paranoid and untrusting, but for good reason. A lot of people close to them have shady intentions or are trying to use them or manipulate them or get close to them for deceptive motives. May be subject to blackmail by friends turned enemies, lovers turned enemies, and so on, more than actual perceived enemies/foes. Are often “ruined” by those closest to them, though, while these attempts may seem victorious, those with Pluto in the 1st house or Pluto conjunct Ascendant often triumph in the end because they rule comebacks. If anything, being “canceled” or reviled only motivates them. They will succeed at all costs, and no hate can prevent that. These natives possess a controlled image. Part of them wants to be known, more of them wants to be unknown, or at the very least, they wish to control what you do see of them. They are often obsessed with power, their own and that of others. Gaining power, losing power, reducing someone else’s power, etc. Feels most empowered when they are in control. Needs to feel like the boss or the one running the show/pulling the strings. Needs to feel like an authority figure.

Often is very close to a mentor or father-like figure that tends to be older and wiser, often in the field of business or coaching. May manufacture an enigmatic personality or genuinely have one but hide behind it for privacy or safety purposes. Fearful of being anyone’s puppet. Doesn’t want to give their power away. Fears being controlled by others and retaliates when they feel dictated to or controlled. Their relationships are often high-stakes, high drama, and emotionally demanding. May be addicted to toxic people—drama and chaos, especially of the emotional kind, and power struggles give them a rush, though, they may deny this and claim they hate drama and toxicity. Can be manipulated or abused in relationships, or they themselves can abuse their power, especially if they are abusing a substance or easily influenced at the time. Often in crisis. These natives tend to have deep, penetrating gazes and luminous eyes. For as much as they value privacy, when they do inevitably have a fall from grace, it is often painfully, visibly made public, quite to their embarrassment, and all their secrets are “exposed.” Most of them try to get ahead of potential scandals or involuntary public releases about them by self-disclosing embarrassing, scandalous information or personally divulging their secrets and “exposing” themselves so they get ahead of the story and don’t become the story, so they control the narrative. Control is really important to them—not just the illusion of it but the actual concept of being able to take action or determine the course of an event without being dictated by it. They often disappear and reappear in the public eye at will. These are not the type of people to go make an apology on the notes app when they do something the public doesn’t like. They will address their actions when they feel like it and if they feel like it and only if they do feel like it, always on their own terms. And they don’t apologize unless they mean it, so don’t expect to see them putting out disingenuous statements. They always have their guard up because they are weary of being hurt and they’re used to going through unsettling situations. Have dry humor and strong hungers/appetites/lusts; may be shady at times. Have dealt with a lot of trauma in their lives, for many early on, in their childhood. May succumb to their deepest, innermost fears if not careful. May suffer from intense paranoia—always suspicious of loved ones. Fear of being [double-]crossed or backstabbed. May have a difficult time forgiving or understanding people who turn their back on them. A sense of mystery surrounds them. Time does not heal their pain. Struggle feeling isolated and alone but needs lots of alone time and goes through periods where they shut themselves off from everybody and go ghost for a while, typically to recover from private battles, or draw back/recover strength from life. Acutely aware of their own mortality. Recovery to them looks like healing. They often call this—healing—surviving.

Resolute, assertive individuals. Can contradict themselves at times. A web of contradictions emerge when specifically attempting to define who they are. Struggles to feel healthy emotions, easily overpowered by their own excess emotional energy. Can feel dead inside sometimes. Often secretly struggles with addiction, past trauma (including in some cases sexual or emotional or physical abuse, depending on other factors, as well), and suicidal ideation. Frequently possesses a low mood or bleak outlook on life. Struggles to keep positive. Finds enlightenment in the most unexpected, unusual places. Often finds God or the spiritual equivalent after some tragedy—doesn’t have to be a near-death experience—or after hitting rock bottom, however they define it—this may be losing the love of their life, being fired from their job, being publicly ousted or held accountable for some moral breach, being sued, being accused of alleged wrongdoing, true or false, etc. They nearly have to lose everything—or what is most important to them—to come to some great epiphany or startling realization and make drastic changes in their life. Sometimes, they may wait until it’s too late. Difficult to decipher. Subject to varying moods, sulking, and general somber periods. Some natives may have a morbid fascination (curiosity) with their own death, or on the opposite side, a healthy fear of it. May struggle to have/develop/facilitate a healthy relationship, not only with others, but with themselves. Good judge of character, but can be blinded by infatuation or blind trust at times. When they fall, they fall hard. Very intuitive and sensitive, perceptive individuals. Self-transformation often comes at the cost of something they want, including their selves. Sometimes, it’s as though parts of them have to die in order for more of them to live. Often very powerful, secretive individuals who come to amass much power in life, but can just as easily lose it. Overwhelmingly strong survival instinct. A need to conquer, to be the best, and to win. Dominant personalities. Difficult to know, not difficult to love. Tend to have many secret admirers and enemies, and are feverishly wanted or desired by those who can’t or shouldn’t have, want, or want to have them. Besides having a magnetic gaze, these natives often have an intriguing, possibly even sexual aura that either strongly repels or attracts others. After a breakup, can be demonized or made the villain by past vengeful partners, especially if there were sordid affairs or the native was unfaithful.

Pluto in the 5th house

Pluto in the 5th house natives are intensely devoted to their pastimes and their talents. Pleasure and fulfillment are their goals and sometimes addictions. They crave excitement, and maybe even danger. Works hard, plays hard. Can be impulsive or indulgent at times. Finds pleasure in being daring. What is most palatable to them is what hasn’t been done or expressed before, or if it has, doing it in a novel, groundbreaking way. Strong individuality at the core. Electrified by desire. Many hobbies. Drawn to art, literature, film, especially film noir, books. Needs to do something fun to feel alive. Likes giving a show or performance, dazzling or surprising people. Understands that sex, like life, like gender, like sexuality, like identity, can be a performance. Relishes in that. May find joy in fashion or trends or theater. Constantly searching for the perfect entertainment—emotionally enriching, fulfilling, pleasurable experiences. Creating and innovating and exploring themselves and the world, discovering their bodies, experimenting with ideas, and navigating their identities gives them purpose and a sense of drive. There is a deep need to self-define who they are. These natives transform themselves and push the boundaries of something through their art or their bodies, through affirming their sexuality and owning their bodies and their uniqueness. Sex is not something to be ashamed of. Showing their bodies is not somebody to be ashamed of.

They are fiercely passionate people, as individuals, as lovers and friends, and they often chase after people who appear as a challenge to them. This excites and thrills them: the notion of going after and getting someone who is supposed to be unattainable for them or untouchable. However, if not careful, they can become entangled with romantic partners who are unsuitable for them. Pleasure often comes with pain, for these people. May have submissive or masochistic or dominant tendencies. May like to seduce rather than being the one seduced. May play hard-to-get. Dating may be fun to them, so much it becomes a game, a cat-and-mouse affair, though, make no mistake, they are not the mousy ones running away. They are the bold and in-your-face, confident ones doing the chase. They almost like something more when they can’t have it. Once they get it, they may get bored for the fun’s gone. The key with these natives is to keep the attraction alive. There is a great need for these individuals to be recognized for their talents and their unique abilities. They feel very strongly about the work they create and produce and the energy they provide. Their contribution is always great. They can be as passionate about sex as a Pluto in the 8th person can be with death or a Pluto in the 12th person with the paranormal or mystical or absurd. May have to overcome their attitudes about themselves; self-limiting beliefs can become self-fulfilling prophecies. Obsessions are common and constant. May be obsessed with romantic interests, self-gain, prosperity, love, or their personal hobbies or recreational activities. They are most happy when they’re active and doing something. Invests a lot of effort and time into what they love, as well as makes sacrifices to keep doing what they love. May experience fatal attraction or encumber fatal accidents if they meet the wrong people. They are not necessarily the obsessive one in their relationship; with this placement comes the danger of partners or even random strangers from afar being obsessed with them, studying their movements, tracking them, and yearning to have them, wanting to conquer them or have sex with or harm them. Others tend to find natives with this placement irresistibly attractive, physically or sexually, they may find them drop-dead sexy, say they’d kill for them or die for them or can’t live without them or will kill themselves if they can’t have them, etc. There’s a danger of these natives being abused or manipulated.

These natives can turn people on without trying. Others may misinterpret their casual actions as inviting or welcoming sexual undertones, and may be very suggestive. Some of these natives are naturally flirtatious, but just because they’re nice or flirty doesn’t mean they’re coming on to you or asking for some sort of sexual favor, or wanting it. These individuals can be taken advantage of sexually or be sexually harassed by people who sometimes don’t even recognize their actions fall under the umbrella of sex harassment. These natives can then feel violated or used or dehumanized. Sure, there are some that like role play in the bedroom and will willingly be your sex toy or plaything, but if. so, on their terms only—they will vocalize this and make it clear to you. Don’t assume they are hypersexual beings just because you interpret them as being sexual or unafraid of and willing to embrace their sexuality. Even if they are, that’s their call and it’s not for you to judge. And you need to respect people’s boundaries and privacy and ask for consent. Also, it’s never okay to sexualize someone. That being said, these people may enjoy freaky sex or sexual games. And they might be flattered by others showing interest, even sexual, in them. But remember, they call the shots! Even when they’re choosing to take the backseat and let somebody else run the show, it’s by choice; it’s because they wanted to and only because they wanted to. Might alternate between being a top and a bottom, being dominant and submissive, or might have a favorite role. May be involved in a dangerous but thrilling, secret love affair, or may enjoy no-strings attached sexual arrangements and low-key, down-low, covert hookups. Very seductive natives. Their desire may increase when nobody knows who they’re seeing or dating/who they’re sleeping or hooking up with. These natives love to feel desirable. They need or crave partners and friends who make them feel good about themselves and celebrate them; they need to feel celebrated. Sometimes, there is a danger of having stalkers with this placement or needing to take out a restraining order, or several. I have observed this pattern several times within people I know, in fact, one person I know had to take out over 5 restraining orders in 2 years because random men became obsessed with her after seeing her social media posts and began sending creepy notes saying they were going to **** her and DM’ing her uncomfortable messages explicitly stating their intent. Some people with this placement may experience being followed or harassed or catcalled or propositioned, especially by people they don’t know. That is the dark side of Pluto in the 5th. Others I know with this placement have experienced pretty intense, toxic, all-or-nothing, soul-consuming affairs, the whole “when it’s good, it’s good and when it’s bad, it’s bad” shebang. Natives with this placement should really exercise caution and always be vigilant.

More on Pluto in the 5th house: These natives may be the typical tortured artist. Part of them likes to feel tormented, and other parts of them find peace or intense pleasure/satisfaction in playing that role. Role-playing of any kind tends to be a source of amusement or entertainment for them. They love to feel entertained and they are natural entertainers. They are intensely focused individuals and may shine in investigative work or artistic fields. They are very aware of their own flaws, and thus sympathize easily with others’ struggles and demons. Can get into trouble if they repress their desires. This placement needs to express what pleasures them in order to live happily. Creating something or beginning a project tends to make them feel alive. They feel most powerful when they feel the most beautiful and assured in their abilities. They’re most confident in themselves when they feel confident in their bodies. May not have issues flaunting their bodies because it belongs to them and they don’t see it as something to hide or cover from anyone else’s eyes as others may feel. They ooze confidence and fierceness. Taking ownership of who they are makes them feel strong. I always see this placement linked to gambling and other addictions but I don’t think this placement suffers more than anyone else does. That being said, they can run into trouble if they go beyond dabbling in recreational substances or activities and turn it into a habit or vice instead of a mere hobby or distraction. So much of their selves are channeled into what they pay attention to and what they expend their energy in or use, including how they express or don’t express what intrigues and empowers or stifles/inhibits and disempowers them. It’s important for them to stay away from anything that makes them feel disembodied. They are more capable than they could ever dream of, far more than the world will ever know. If they have insecurities, they either nurse it and keep it a secret from the public, or disclose it as a way to get over it/overcome it, take their power back and ensure it can never be used against them. Very open about their desires. Unbelievable capacity to self-transform. Many gifts and tricks. Very spontaneous people. Tremendous willpower. The power to act and determine, the power to seize at will. The power to create, the power to manifest. They can often speak what they want into existence, but they must be careful, for the opposite is true and they can easily speak what they most fear into reality.

Can you make a Neptune in the 7th House post?

I was planning on doing Saturn and Neptune in the houses after Venus and Pluto, so sure! It won’t be until after mercury in retrograde is done, though! Thanks for the recommendation!

elleestcommelalune1:

We need to discuss how Jupiter—and not just Neptune—can show your addictions in a birth chart, as well as Venus, and less so, but still somewhat infuentially, the moon.

The way this post disappeared in my drafts … hate that for me.

Mercury in retrograde is great for clearing out what’s no longer useful or needed, de-stressing, getting rid of old habits, junk, and trinkets, and reorganizing your life.

Above all else, Mercury in retrograde is the perfect time to reflect and make positive changes—realistic changes. This is not the time for ill-founded idealism and magical wishes/thinking! You’ll be rewarded for thinking about practical outcomes and creative solutions to problems!
