Wednesday — Audio Ready

Good morning — your weekly audio is done. I take a look at the repercussions of Monday’s New Moon in Leo (opposite Nessus and Damocles), as well as Mercury warming up to its retrograde.

In the mix, I offer a review of the Aug. 11, 1999 (yes, 1999) total solar eclipse and grand cross in Leo/fixed signs (of which today is the anniversary) — and I reference the Burning Man series of articles, which you can find at this link. In case you’re interested — this is a long read, but a fun one — it’s a glimpse into the world before the Sept. 11 false flag terrorist attacks, before the year 2000, before Bush and Cheney — a look at the direction things were going. Clue — there was some violence in the air.

In this audio I look at the Saturn-Pluto square coming a little later in the month — which happens at the same time (as in the same day) as the Sun opposite the Chiron/Neptune conjunction. The exact date of that is Aug. 21 and we are very much under its influence right now. Thankfully this is the last of Saturn making stressful aspects to outer planets for a while — we have had enough the past 10 years, as Saturn has opposed Pluto (three events), Neptune (three events) and Uranus (five events) in that order, and is now square Pluto for the third and last time. That’s a lot of Saturn aspects in a short time.

Please note that there are some new posts below the Oracle — one about Nessus by Amanda (taken from the Cosmic Confidential blog, which is now running dailyish), a discussion about intercepted houses right below that, and a conversation about cholesterol and vitamin D immediately below that. (I just added an article about microwave ovens to the comment area.)

Later today, if all goes well, or mostly well, I plan to do the Leo birthday audio and will send out an announcement tomorrow. If there is any call for the Capricorn birthday report, which would be a bit retro but right on time for the Saturn-Pluto square, please say so and I will do that as well.

Also note, we’ve updated the footer to each blog post and it now includes three monthly horoscopes for those who aren’t current subscribers or who haven’t read my horoscopes in the past. I write a different kind of horoscope than you may be accustomed to. You’re invited to see for yourself…

  3. January 11 2020,.. I thought it interesting that at the Saturn Pluto conjunction, the North Node is in the early degrees of Cancer, opposite itself now.

  4. As usual your weekly audio is illuminating and throught provoking. I had a deeply centered belly laugh with your request to have the folks with pitchforks at your back! I too feel revolution in the air, and living in Idaho I suspect I can find a pitchfork with no difficulty. So now I’m thinking about what kind of revolution I really want, and wondering if evolution is possible without revolution. Indeed, we are living in interesting and intense times. Your analogy of people using astrology to get themselves out of a situation is spot on; in fact all of PlanetWaves is rather more like the “live traffic/road/weather conditions” feature of GPS to skirt around problematic conditions is guidance to awareness and effective action. Some times you just need to pull over and let the storm pass, which is exactly what I did today. I’m using the time out to explore the placement of Nessus in my chart and what it means in my own herstory.
