And again, ultimately about you teaching yourself through your life, emotional safety and</p><p>The reason that safety needs to be present is so that you can go and be free on this journey wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, whatever step you take, whatever’s guiding you to do it. That’s it. There’s something implicit here now.</p><p>The moon also today is kind of in this in conjunct to Jupiter, which can kind of point to... You know, everything I just said about having emotional safety is not necessarily lining up. In fact, it feels like you just have to keep going and trust that it’s there even if you don’t directly feel it.</p><p>And moreover, this type of inconjunct is kind of about you adjusting your attitude. There’s a type of feedback that you actually need to take and internalize. And we’ll see in the next two days when the moon opposes Jupiter, how we have learned and thus how we can work. with the Moon in Capricorn,</p><p>how we can work and create emotional structures that actually support the learning that we are trying to do here with Jupiter in Cancer. But beyond that today, the Moon is also making a square or moving into a square to Saturn. And this can be just this is a last quarter square.</p><p>So we are we are moving beyond in a sense of knowing what our restrictions are and ultimately what our spiritual discipline is, what we are committing to, which do not look any further than what your reality is showing you right now in terms of. you know, this is still Neptune and Aries.</p><p>What’s true for you ruled by Mars and Scorpio? This is soul penetrating stuff right now. So you can trust in your reality. You can trust in even if the reality feels slippery or multi-layered, infinitely so, with no end. Still trust in that we’re here to be spending time in this limitlessness really</p><p>throughout the rest of this year and into next year. And I think this will become different when we step into next month when Neptune moves back into Pisces for some time. And so we’ll be very much more deeply kind of swimming in the infinite for just a little while longer.</p><p>Whereas right now we’re still kind of ruled by this Neptune in Aries that really has us wanting to say something. And Mars is still moving out of its inconjunct. to this Neptune in Aries. And so we are really trying to figure out where socially our penetrative capacity to take soul action,</p><p>where it actually fits in a greater whole and within our personal truth, how that personal truth fits into the collective unconscious pretty much and kind of walking that, walking that. So Yeah, that might really be all that I have today. It’s just a day of continued exploration, continued faith and trust and walking on the path,</p><p>taking feedback and meeting our edge and letting reality show us the truth and the edge right now based on what’s true for us, based on how deep we let ourselves take action from. And ultimately that’s where we’re holding space, right? Pluto in Aquarius is still ruling this Mars in Scorpio.</p><p>So there’s just this depth that we are accessing. This reminds me of this saying, like your vibe attracts your tribe. You got to really act from the deepest place that you know possible. And that will bring you to the right people in your life and the right people in your life will help you grow</p><p>in every single area of life. I’ve been hearing that recently in the things that I’ve been consuming and I certainly think that that makes a lot of sense. If we’re shifting away from a me, me, me, my goals, my success and into</p><p>much more of a focus on the network it’s like how can we work together to jointly achieve success and get what we need and have fun just creating infinitely so without hoarding That’s kind of been my mantra. And I think Venus moving over the south node, as I said, over the next week,</p><p>she’s still in her balsamic relationship now, but there’s something very clear about our past and what we love that’s coming into focus now. And it’s important to be in communication with it, to be in conversation with it. So... Let’s see if there’s anything else that I want to say.</p><p>Yeah, we’re still in this just sun is in Libra. We’re just balancing things out in this season, going into the depth. But that sun in Libra is also still ruled by the Venus balsamic to the south node. So we are balancing out, again, something from our past and shining our creative light on it, talking to it,</p><p>conversing with it. And... yeah, I mean, now we’re in this phase right between the first quarter sextile and the first quarter square. That first quarter square will happen tomorrow. And I think there’s something that we are studying again today. We’re just studying this thing today, this path that we have decided to recommit ourselves to, perhaps. And</p><p>you know, the moon’s also just moving out of this square to the nodes, which means it needs to be resolving through the south node, that same south node with Venus. And so there’s something about going back to a practice where we get to express ourselves. And I’ve been returning to this in writing recently.</p><p>And I think it’s powerful. It’s important. So Yeah, that I think is what it is. But prepare, just continue preparing today. Tomorrow there’s a decision we’ll likely feel called to make, something to be shared with the world tomorrow. so that that’s what I have friends I hope you have a lovely day and lovely rest of</p><p>your weekend um I don’t know if I’m continuing this tomorrow so let’s see if I come back please give me some feedback I’d love to hear it if you’re still watching if you want to continue hearing me or what might be most interesting and helpful. Alrighty, that’s it.

Happy Saturday. So the moon today is in Sagittarius all day. So there’s a sense of freedom of desire to explore and ultimately this is the moon so we are seeking safety we’re seeking safety but there’s a type of safety in the journey not the destination</p><p>safety and comfort and finding our home in the path itself so I think it’ll be an expansive day. At the moment, the moon is making a first quarter square to Venus. Venus is in Virgo. This is something I talk a lot about right now. And this first quarter square...</p><p>between these two mutable signs speaks to the shifting and a decision we’re making today might be a more passive decision because this is the moon and it is venus and these are two receptive spaces in our being we’re making a decision to be honest. That’s a high Sagittarian archetype is honesty about what we are paying attention to,</p><p>about who is paying attention to us, and likely something to do with our relationship to them. There’s a step that we probably want to make in the next day, just around our internal process of how we’re open to other people, how we’re open to the world itself, ultimately. And this is really subtle. I think it’s extremely subtle.</p><p>So Jupiter in Cancer is ruling this, which ultimately just emphasizes this period of time where we are learning the wisdom of safety, learning the wisdom of gentleness, of care. So... All day, in fact. Today, the 27th, the Moon is going to be forming this square that’s in between the space of the Venus-South Node conjunction,</p><p>which is essentially a place of closing the gap between where you are right now and something about the past that you’re still bringing into the present i mean this is really happening over the next week because venus is now within 10 degrees of the south node which really does bring this into a conjunction now which ultimately is</p><p>this letting go period it’s not a drain it’s not abandonment it is in fact seeing it so clearly that perhaps you already are this thing or that you are so devoted to this thing you can’t not be devoted to this thing and so it’s almost kind of like graduation but it’s really</p><p>over this next week in the astrology there where we are you know, moving between the moon and Sagittarius, and then it’ll perfect the Venus-South node conjunction. It will perfect on October 4th when the moon’s in Pisces. And so right now we’re shifting, and it’s really over this next week when the moon passes through Sagittarius, through Capricorn,</p><p>through Aquarius, and then into Pisces. When Interesting because Pisces is itself that same balsamic archetype, that same concluding archetype, that same unifying monolithic archetype of complete encapsulation of the boundless, right? So I kind of think this moon today is a bit of an initiation into these next these next few days, this next week,</p><p>where Venus on the south node is truly completing a chapter. Truly completing a chapter, I think, in the most subtle way. Venus, again, more passive, more about what we are open to. And when it meets the south node, it’s really about... what we do not have to work for, what is present. You know,</p><p>there can be some relive scenarios with this placement and there can be some fruition scenarios with this placement. And either one of them is a desire that’s being ultimately exhausted. And so playing it out fully, faithfully, honestly, is the most important. And again, Venus, Virgo, there’s a practice here.</p><p>There’s a practice, which means it’s a daily thing that you choose to do. You choose to give it your attention in that process process. is your relationship to god that process is your relationship to the highest meaning possible so this moon today will move from nine degrees sagittarius to 16 degrees sagittarius by midnight pacific time and</p><p>It’ll be really interesting because on the one hand, as I said, this is that space in a square formation that Venus is going to pass herself over the next week. So we’re closing a gap. And this brings the moon also into a pretty tight square to the nodes that won’t perfect until later into this evening,</p><p>early tomorrow morning. But this square to the nodes is also a choice point. It’s a flip-flop. We’ve done both of this stuff probably quite a bit already. And the resolution for whatever this flip-flop scenario is, maybe it’s a choice on direction to keep moving towards, but we do need to go back to Virgo.</p><p>This is resolving through the south node in Virgo. And to me, that speaks to a belief in the day-to-day practice. I think we are much more familiar with the other side of this square to the nodes because we had Jupiter going through it.</p><p>We had all the other inner planets going through it over the last six months especially. Essentially, anything that’s crossed through Gemini over last summer, I mean, just this past summer, we’re really familiar with the Gemini squared of these nodes, which resolves through the North Node, which is all about really choosing limitlessness.</p><p>But what we’re experiencing today is the other way around, where we actually have to go back into the details. We have to go back into the data. And I think this will bring us into tomorrow as well. And I absolutely think this has something to do with the Venusian, with how we’re open to love in our lives,</p><p>how we’re how we are uniquely open to experience beauty and experience sensory pleasure. And Venus is just, it’s a direct relationship up into Neptune being the lower active of Neptune. And so these are the immediate pathways that we have to God. And yet at the same time today, because it’s in Virgo,</p><p>these pathways that we are open to are devotional. It’s something that we’re doing every day. So I think that this moon today is really kind of pointing us directly back into the details of of this practice that really is ours.</p><p>And it’ll be over this next week that we really close out a chapter and re-begin a new chapter As it has to do with that specific practice. So that’s where I’ll end today. Technically tomorrow is the last day I said I was going to do this. I said I was going to do it for a week.</p><p>But I will keep you updated on that tomorrow. Specifically because I’m very interested in this next week of the Venus passing the south node. And be interesting to track things. that as well. So I’ll end there. If you have comments, please let me know what you think anywhere, Substack, YouTube.</p><p>I don’t know if you can leave comments on Apple, but anyway, reach out to me. Let me know if this has been a helpful practice, a helpful podcast, what else you would want to hear my perspective or opinion on, and I’ll leave it there. So thank you very much.

Happy Friday, September 26. Fun day because we have the first quarter sextile happening between the sun and the moon and this is a good time to finally Or rather, I should say, gather all of your thoughts that you’ve been having since the new moon, since the 21st, and start to write them down.</p><p>Start to actually flesh them out. This first quarter sextile is pretty much the first time we’ll see a good chunk of the moon in the sky. Technically, we have seen the moon, like, it’s possible to have seen the moon in the last day, but it would have been a very, very thin...</p><p>Now the moon will be a little bit more present of a crescent. I don’t know how to say that, but what happens between now and the first quarter square, which is in a few days still next week, between now and the first quarter square, we’re studying the</p><p>so up until this point basically from the new moon until now we’ve been going out finding options finding options finding options and then from now till the first quarter moon again for the next week or so we are essentially studying our options we’re studying our options we’re actually learning about them we’re seeing how far they can</p><p>take us just from our own space. That’s the first quarter sextile archetype. It’s actually a very internal archetype. And it prepares us to make the decision at the first quarter square next week. And that decision next week will be a more external decision. Um, but yeah, so we’re starting this few day period of the first quarter square,</p><p>which I mean, first quarter sex style, which I think I really like. And it’ll be nice because the moon will move into Sagittarius by the end of the day today. And we’ll kind of get out of whatever this Scorpio depth has been.</p><p>I think it’s been a very powerful moon and Scorpio transit just in terms of getting us into deep to the thing that we actually want right Scorpio linked to Pluto linked to our deepest desire so what do you really really want right now and especially coming</p><p>off this Mars Pluto square we’ve been like we’ve had to make a decision to to start getting what we want and actually moving our lives in a direction that we want even if it feels like we’re not going the right way yet this last quarter square can</p><p>kind of put us into a uh void like a we don’t know what’s going on space for a while um and that’s okay i think this is okay. I can’t say this enough times, but I genuinely think once Venus passes the south node on October 4th,</p><p>we’re going to have a lot of things clear about the past that I think we are in a stage of completion in right now. which I think is very nice. So all of this time between now and October 4th, which is just a few days before the full moon that happens in this cycle.</p><p>October 7th is the full moon. So October 4th, we’ll have Venus on the south node. October 7th, we’ll have the full moon. And there’s gonna be something very clear about who we are as our own people. That’s Aries full moon. And we’re going to be clear about what...</p><p>what we are actually open to in terms of the past and how that’s going to move into our future. And at that point, I think we’ll have a lot of clarity about what we are done with from the past and what we still need from the past,</p><p>like what is meant to come with us on this next journey, this next phase. And the fact that, again, this is happening right before the full moon means that it’s something that’s going to grow with us. We’re growing into it. So I like it. I like it a lot. I like today a lot. Let’s see.</p><p>Anything else happening today? This might be a very short one. Anything else happening today? Mercury still in Libra. Obviously sun still in Libra. Venus, obviously still in Virgo. Yeah, no real big moves today. Let’s see. Oh yeah, so let’s go back here. We have the moon basically making a trine to Saturn from about right now.</p><p>And that is, there’s a sense of our, this deep emotional self that we’ve been connecting to, this deep desire and any challenge it’s brought, the pain that we might just be more close to right now. There’s an honesty about it. But with this trine to Saturn, we have an opportunity to support it, to ground it,</p><p>to structure it within faith. Okay, Saturn in Pisces. And then later on in the day, once the moon moves into Aries, the moon will trine Neptune. So that’ll be like later in the morning. It’ll be interesting to feel this because... this opportunity that exists within the Saturn-Neptune balsamic conjunction might feel like it’s not one that necessarily grows,</p><p>but it’s one that helps us to understand the ending of something. And of course, the beginning always begins at the end, right? Nothing appears out of nowhere. So we’re likely getting pieces of information right now that we’re going to be growing into. Um... Yeah. What else? Also, once the moon moves into Sag, it’ll oppose Uranus,</p><p>which will be pretty, you know, this basically activates the, and it will also sextile Pluto. So yeah, there’s just like, a knowingness that it’s like we’re we’re we’re changing ourselves emotionally there’s something outside of us there’s a relationship something that’s helping us to shift our mind and there’s something that that shift in a mind helps us to</p><p>emotionally connect to the changing community that we want to see with the pluto sextile and then Again, with that trine to Saturn and Neptune, there’s something about actually making this real in life that actually feels possible. Which, again, I think is pretty cool. I like today. whenever I talk about this outer planet stuff,</p><p>my brain tends to like, it’s really not grounded very much right now. It’s so much air. We don’t really have a lot of earth anymore happening apart from the south node and Venus, which is very personal stuff. And so everything else is kind of existing in this emotional space with all the water energy. We have some,</p><p>you know, fire energy still with the Neptune, but Neptune’s kind of putting out that fire a little bit and bringing it back to something much greater than ourselves. So yeah, I’m starting to feel this shift out of Virgo season. It’s felt much more relational already so yeah keep talking to people keep talking to people this</p><p>mercury venus mutual reception is still very much so in effect so i think that’s all i have today ending a little early but i hope you’re doing well i hope that you’re Ready to spend a few days planning for a decision next week. That’ll be a first quarter squaring Capricorn.</p><p>So it has to do with our work, our plans, our long-term plans. But I won’t get ahead of myself there. I’m ready for it and I’m excited. So let’s see what happens until tomorrow. Thank you for listening, my friends, and goodbye for now.</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Bright Side Astrology at <a href="https://brightsideastrology.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">brightsideastrology.substack.com/subscribe</a>]]></description><link>https://brightsideastrology.substack.com/p/september-26-time-to-study-your-findings</link><guid isPermaLink="false">substack:post:174632271</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bright Side Astrology]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 26 Sep 2025 16:56:50 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/174632271/e75b4d1a9deb18d5b6c7219de5ab9b0f.mp3" length="6633604" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Bright Side Astrology</itunes:author><itunes:explicit>No</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>553</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://substackcdn.com/feed/podcast/3555185/post/174632271/5ac3877816938c3074b52968346d1caf.jpg"/></item><item><title><![CDATA[September 22: Grand Water Trine ]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Bright Side Astrology at <a href="https://brightsideastrology.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">brightsideastrology.substack.com/subscribe</a>]]></description><link>https://brightsideastrology.substack.com/p/september-22-grand-water-trine</link><guid isPermaLink="false">substack:post:174537777</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bright Side Astrology]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 25 Sep 2025 15:04:04 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/174537777/88bce7f9f8842f90ecbb3c236966418c.mp3" length="7499720" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Bright Side Astrology</itunes:author><itunes:explicit>No</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>625</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://substackcdn.com/feed/podcast/3555185/post/174537777/b87a6b00a0f8cd9a37bff12c5d9c99a2.jpg"/></item><item><title><![CDATA[September 24: Happiness and Astrology as a Recursion]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Bright Side Astrology at <a href="https://brightsideastrology.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">brightsideastrology.substack.com/subscribe</a>]]></description><link>https://brightsideastrology.substack.com/p/september-24-happiness-and-astrology</link><guid isPermaLink="false">substack:post:174453082</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bright Side Astrology]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 24 Sep 2025 16:32:26 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/174453082/bf1b95b9a7754277b70dfa2f0bd19d6c.mp3" length="8696312" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Bright Side Astrology</itunes:author><itunes:explicit>No</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>725</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://substackcdn.com/feed/podcast/3555185/post/174453082/5ac3877816938c3074b52968346d1caf.jpg"/></item><item><title><![CDATA[September 23: A clear opportunity]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Hello, welcome to September 23rd. The moon is in Libra today. The sun is in Libra today. Let's see if the moon is going to be here all day. I have a feeling it's not. I think the moon... No, it is. Moon's going to be in Libra all day, okay? We got another day, a little bit like yesterday.</p><p>And what I'm feeling is we're just getting closer and closer to this last quarter square between Mars and Pluto. However, it doesn't happen technically until tomorrow, September 24th. And... The fun thing that's happening today is that the sun is making By the end of this day, Pacific time at least,</p><p>the Sun is making its exact trine to both Uranus and Pluto. So there's something of a social opportunity that we're actually walking ourselves into today, like whatever our day is with the Sun there kind of just manifests as the social opportunity. It is ruled by Venus in Virgo, which is balsamic to the south node.</p><p>So there's a social opportunity in the past. There's a social opportunity in the past that we are still completing our relationship to this past. That Venus is ruled by Mercury, also in Libra. And so we are talking to the past. We are talking to an opportunity to be receptive to past practice, okay?</p><p>that is the south node in Virgo. And the thing I haven't said a ton about Virgo I'm sorry, Venus in Virgo and near the south node is that it's all really about love, you know, and not in the Piscean way of like limitless love, although it should be.</p><p>But I'm saying more from a mundane perspective here, like Venus is what you're open to, right? And so it's the people, the relationships you're open to. It's the art that you love the most. It's what your aura, your fractal pattern, your vibe is kind of drawing into your environment in every given moment.</p><p>I hesitate to even say that because I don't think of Venus as a planet that has a strong pull. It's definitely an attractor, but Venus at its highest knows its worth, and so it has this core that is magnetic. It has a core that is specifically calibrated to...</p><p>to just know itself to be all of the things that it loves and so it creates space to like see more of that right um so this is absolutely about love and relationships and it's also about art and enjoyment so there's just there's something about a past relationship, a past practice,</p><p>which in the case of Venus is kind of like an art practice, or it could be any type of just like a practice that you enjoy doing, a practice that you enjoy like being kind of in the weeds of, could be gardening. um this blend of Venus and Virgo is interesting um ultimately like I said I think</p><p>before I just see Virgo as attention and Venus as openness so I do think that we're open to people's attention and coming to the south node there's a large cycle we're coming to the close of here of being open to other people's attention in this</p><p>weird way but like I said with Mercury there we're talking to these people it's not like you know or if we're not talking to them we're balancing out we're working to balance other situation in the best ways that we currently know how which with that</p><p>balsamic to the south node is lodged in the past you know all of the other planets now are past the south node which means we're in a new relationship to the past in most areas of life but not venus okay so venus is Still doing something back there. Today is just, it's kind of nice, I think,</p><p>because the sun is just making those trines and while the moon, no, sorry, while Mars remains in its... yod to both Uranus and Neptune. Mars has already perfected its yod to Neptune yesterday and really it's only very end of today that Mars will perfect the yod to Uranus.</p><p>And so I guess I can talk a little bit about that one. The Mars-Uranus yod is a let's see it's also a last quarter yod so yeah it's also a last quarter no no no sorry it's a first it's a it's a waxing it's it's a um it's a gibbous phase</p><p>quincunx which means that these are internal adjustments that we're making through our actions and the impetus to make these adjustments is our mind with Uranus and Gemini it's the way we're talking to ourselves it's the way we're using language to revolutionize what's possible truly Uranus and Aquarius</p><p>as an archetype are really the edge of known reality and in Gemini it's how we push words to the edge of our known reality so This Mars that's making this quincunx to Uranus says that there's something secretive, you know, there's this inconjunct naturally between Mars and Gemini, sorry, between Scorpio and Gemini,</p><p>which I find to be one of the most interesting inconjuncts because Scorpio on its own, like a Mars and Scorpio doesn't necessarily, especially in these early degrees, does not want to jump the gun and just say s**t, like what they're planning. But Uranus in Gemini is very vibrationally open. Gemini itself is not really holding on to anything.</p><p>It's a very curious archetype of exchange. And so this inconjunct between Scorpio and Gemini is always interesting, whatever planets are there, because you have an impulse of open communication, but then you also have this impulse of secrecy. And how do you kind of square these two?</p><p>Well, in this case, Mars being the quicker moving planet in Scorpio says... We're going to move through this secrecy. We have a mission with this secrecy, and of course that mission, as Scorpio is ruled by Pluto and Aquarius, that mission is secretive.</p><p>But the funny haha here is that Uranus rules Pluto and Aquarius, so at the end of the day... And that Uranus, that edge of the known communication, even that quickness, it is motivating. Even if Mars doesn't feel it in the immediate reasons why it's doing what it's doing, that secret action you're taking,</p><p>you think it's just a secret action, but I think there's deeper layers here that are connecting why we're doing what we're doing to... liberating some sense of our minds and our communication and in the data that we use. Okay. Because yeah, the sun... is in these trines today the sun made its opposition to neptune tomorrow yesterday</p><p>which i didn't really say much about but it's basically like going from the opposition from sun to saturn the day before there's an authority and then today that authority kind of dissolves and so we're kind of left like that decision that we feel like we need to make</p><p>might not have as much gumption as it did in the days before with the Saturn opposition, but we're kind of going back to reclaim, you know, what is this Mars in Scorpio really, really want from us? What does it really want from us? And you could say easily that it's community because of the Pluto in Aquarius</p><p>square and rulership, but you can also take that a level higher and just say Mars wants to put you at the edge of the known because that's what Pluto in Aquarius also wants us to do. Pluto in Aquarius has us desiring to be at the edge of the known and to really</p><p>individuate our lives and um become something incredibly unique and specific to that specificity of our soul as well or at least just claim the power in our in our individual humanity and let that like lead us and regenerate us so I think that's all I have for today.</p><p>We're still in a very, very early lunar phase right now. We're not even going to get to the semi-sextile between the sun and the moon today, so we're still really nascent in something, and like I said at the beginning, that something is about a relationship or an art practice from the past, okay? Okay.</p><p>No, these are my interpretations. So obviously geared towards fellow artists. But please let me know if this is resonating. There's definitely an opportunity today. I think that's the most exciting thing with the sun coming into that trine to Uranus and Pluto. But again,</p><p>this is the type of thing we have to take action on or we're going to let it slip through our fingers. We really have to... Take action on it. All of it boils down to this Venus-Mercury mutual reception in Virgo and Libra. So we really just have someone to talk to.</p><p>Really just place your attention on someone else decidedly and then let someone else do the same to you and have an exchange. See where it goes. Okay, happy Tuesday.

But the sun will move into Libra by the end of today. The moon will still be in Libra by the end of today. And the other thing that I want to talk about is, of course, Mars having moved into Scorpio. early this morning.</p><p>And my take on this is that Mars is going to be, over the next three days, perfecting its yod to the outer planets Neptune and Uranus. Today, Mars is completing and perfecting its yod to Neptune. So I'll talk about that a little bit today.</p><p>And then on Wednesday, which is a very big day, I'll talk about the yod from Mars to Uranus. But, okay, this is all kind of leading up to Wednesday, Monday, Tuesday, and to Wednesday, because Wednesday is the day of that last quarter square.</p><p>right let me go into this yod situation because i feel i'm feeling it very deeply whenever there is a yod with mars at the apex think back to early june or mid-june we had a yod with mars at the early apex i believe it was in virgo so this would</p><p>have been a yod with neptune and pluto but now Mars has moved two signs away into Scorpio. But going back to June, my experience of June was I got a kick in the pants to actually start doing something and I did it and it worked for the first time ever.</p><p>It didn't work exactly in the way that I wanted it to, but it worked. I met the goal in a way I hadn't met that type of goal in a really long time. There was literally like someone outside me that was like, why don't you try doing it this way? Just try.</p><p>And then I did it and then it went very, very well for me. And that's kind of how I feel about Mars yods. There's something outside of you that's trying to help you adjust so that you can act right here, right now in the present moment to change something because that's what Mars is. Right here, right now,</p><p>present moment actions, it is the activity that you are doing right now, right? It is your job description from a moment to moment, hour to hour basis. But if you're just writing the job of your life and every action itself, it takes to be you. What is the actions and behaviors of the character that is you?</p><p>Okay, that's Mars. Now, let's look at Mars in Scorpio. This is deep. This is desire. This is the sign that Pluto is most at home in. Pluto and Mars have a very special relationship. I'll talk more about that in the next few days. But essentially speaking,</p><p>Mars is the first place that we see the manifestation of Pluto's desire through behavior, through action, right? Whereas Pluto is very invisible. So Mars being in Pluto's sign is saying kind of like we're having a Mars-Pluto conjunction. I know we're not technically, but Mars in Pluto's sign is saying we are acting out of this very deep,</p><p>like very deep seeded desire that maybe we have been suppressing because it's too much, too taboo, too dark. Maybe perhaps we've been planning for this time for a long time because Mars is And Scorpio is very, very much so about the word is skipping my brain because obviously I don't do this personally myself very much.</p><p>Planning, but it's the more intense word for planning. This is like the difference between Virgo and Scorpio, which are separated by this silly little Libra. I would say Virgo is planning and Scorpio is like strategizing. Maybe that's the word. It's like deep secretive war time.</p><p>strategy planning and that's like mars and scorpio and then mars and scorpio takes action on this strategy that you've been building up for quite a while not to mention this last quarter square that's going to be pushing us into something okay but this is something to do with all things scorpio that you are taking action on</p><p>literally right now could be someone else's money could be something secretive that you're having to act on or towards or for um or even against. It is something about the occult, death, sex, rebirth, your taxes. Wow, my mom literally just did her taxes last night. Anyway, this is Mars and Scorpio. This is deep. This is desire.</p><p>This is what you actually have to do. Whether you like it or not, you have to do it. And this is also the area where you are choosing to comply or not that is a weird word comply but the terms that i think jeff green used are resist resistance or cooperation and that is simply with evolutionary</p><p>programming and desire which you can only get into in the same way you can get into the flow of the dao so That's what I want to say. And because this Mars is now making an inconjunct, this is a waning inconjunct to the planet Neptune. This is a yod formation.</p><p>This specific leg of the yod from Mars to Neptune to me speaks about how we are able to act on our personal truth. Now, because Mars is ruling that Neptune, interesting, right? They're in an inconjunct to each other. The inconjunct in this waning formation says that there is something social. There is something social.</p><p>There is a social truth that is asking us to act. In fact, it's almost like there's a space out there somewhere. that is perfectly sized for us, for us and our personal truth to take up that space and to take action right there. But it can be overwhelming, scary,</p><p>and it can also be hard to believe that we specifically, in particular, have a right to take up that space, especially given how vulnerable the action might be. Asking for something from someone or asserting your presence and your soul in a space, right? Soul assertion is very much so Mars in Scorpio.</p><p>So reorienting because of some Neptune in Aries, some personal truth, some place within the collective where your action actually fits. That's Neptune in Aries. And with this yod, again, waning yod, which means they've already had the opposition. This waning yod to me means... We know what we have to do. We know where we have to go.</p><p>But a yad is like two inconjuncts. It's a telephone line that keeps cutting off with God. So you get the message and then you don't get the direction of how to do it. You just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other.</p><p>And in this case, with the waning inconjunct, you must respond to what outside is telling you. It's not for you to assert, here's what I am, make space for me. It's to say, okay, yeah, I am here. How do I help? How do I most easily, rightly express my full self here? So I think it's very interesting.</p><p>This Yad will perfect today and they're in that fun, well, I guess it's also technically ruled by Pluto in Aquarius because Mars in Pluto is ruled by Pluto in Aquarius and then that's ruled by Uranus in Gemini. So again, the motivations, the deeper rulership motivations here are very social,</p><p>ruled just then in part by Mercury in Libra and Venus in Virgos mutual reception. So this is going back to the same stuff I've been saying about the solar eclipse. This is so relational. This is so much about letting yourself be the focus of someone else's attention for a second,</p><p>and then you exchanging that with someone else in relationship. So this is also not superficial at all. Now that Mars is in Scorpio, we are like real talk. And I also want to say for the next like month, we don't have any really anything, you know,</p><p>what happens at the end of October is that Mercury actually goes into shadow, which is really fine. But I'm just saying we have this runway of a few weeks to get down into something, make a decision and go for it. And I do think it'll be over the next literally just three days of this week that</p><p>we're going to be like actually not forced, but like the situation is going to adjust us continually into action in a way that I think we needed in order to take advantage of this Mars-Pluto square that's happening later. And yeah, you know, the moon's going to be growing.</p><p>The moon will be with Mars when Mars is squaring Pluto. I think I'm going to make a full video about the Mars Pluto square today. But that's what I wanted to say. There's adjustments happening day in, day out for the first three days of this week. So I hope...</p><p>that it's clear to you what what's happening um follow follow what's happening don't follow a dream here but know that you do take up space your raw visceral perspective does need to take up space whether or not it's right doesn't actually matter You matter, you need to take up space,</p><p>and this is the time period to adjust yourself to get in that position. Because it's Libra season, and we're very Libra today, there's a lot of emphasis on a growing exchange, a growing relationship. This conversation ultimately ruled by this Venus in Virgo, still balsamic to the south node. Again, we are still wrapping something up until October 4th.</p><p>So I'm beyond 10 minutes. Thank you for listening and let me know how it's going, what you think. And I hope you have a wonderful week ahead until tomorrow.

Don't Keep it in. Talk to people. ]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Good morning, September 21st, wherever you are in the world. I have much less energy today, which is totally fine. But yesterday really kicked me off into doing this again. And I got two very, very sweet comments. So I want to thank you for that. But let's look into what's happening today, which is the day of the</p><p>Solar eclipse. Regardless of whether this is an eclipse or not, new moon periods are always low, energetically. But of course, it depends on your chart. So I can't say that across the board, but Generally speaking, a new moon period is pretty low just in terms of energy.</p><p>If you consider the difference between when the moon is next to the sun and therefore the sun really geometrically can't shine us any light on the moon because the moon is being engulfed by the sun versus when the moon is full, the moon is 180 degrees away from the sun and we can see the</p><p>whole face of the moon illuminated in the sky if you think about just by sheer amount of light in the sky at a full moon there's more light being emitted by either one of the luminaries and then at a new moon there's very much less significantly less so think about that think about your own life</p><p>I don't know what I was on yesterday, but this is definitely, I think, why the south node eclipse also gets its reputation as being a draining eclipse. And the south node in general. I'm drinking my coffee now. Maybe that's why I'm not all jazzed up yet, but... Anyway, so I am feeling this like...</p><p>We're really at the bottom, okay? This is kind of like you touch the bottom and then for the next six months we are on an upward climb. Really the last six months till now we've been on this downward climb just in a sense of energetic and fadedness like going back towards the south node is kind of</p><p>like going back into your past. you know, I do listen to the Leo King and I like the Leo King. And even he said this, and I agree, I've been thinking about this myself. You should watch his thing, by the way. Obviously, this is not at all sponsored, but I just, I like the Leo King. Anyway,</p><p>he's had a whole character arc that I also have been, I have liked to watch over the last several years. But anyway, the next six months, not just with The sun climbing towards the north node until March of next year, but the next six months with all these planets back in their previous signs,</p><p>Neptune's going to go back into Pisces, Uranus is going to go back into Taurus. You know, there's just a sense of going back, going back, going back into the past again. We're not going as deep into the past as when Pluto was in Capricorn. That's over.</p><p>As of November 2024, that's over, but we are going back into some other parts of the past. And I think that this eclipse... we're having today kind of marks the portal the entry point the kind of like okay this is it we're going back into the past for the last time because truly after</p><p>this six month period none of these planets will go backwards anymore well they will retrograde but they will not move back into their previous signs And yeah, this six month period, I'm a broken record about this, but Saturn will pass Neptune in February 21st of 2026 next year.</p><p>So these really, these next six months, I can't tell you, are really, really huge. Not because you have to go and do something huge with your life, but just because... you know, it's this cleaning up period, this returning period, but it's not, you know, this is also something he said last night, which I thought was really interesting.</p><p>I was just watching his latest video, like eclipses and new moons at the 29th degrees start something that can't, like might not be able to be fully cleaned up. And I think symbolically that makes a lot of sense to me because 29 is the end, but you're starting something with a new moon at the end.</p><p>So how do you start something at the end? Will it ever be complete? You know what I mean? And then this goes, brings me in my brain to something that my teacher Ari Moshe says that like, you don't actually complete the signs, you know, they just end and then the new one begins.</p><p>So this idea of there being a tight and beautiful resolution about anything at all kind of goes into what I said yesterday. You know, things just keep going. We are the ones that will either create the stories and then tie up a bow on them.</p><p>Or it's like in 20, 30, 40 years, we realize the poetics of it naturally. Or maybe we go backwards in time and we're thinking about the past in a new way from a new perspective. And then we get to tie the bow up.</p><p>But this is certainly the beginning of something I do not know if we will see the end. of but rather it will simply kind of mutate into something else over the next six months but let me go more into today Hope you're having a nice day. So I'm recording at 8.20 a.m. Pacific time.</p><p>The moon is at 26 degrees of Virgo. And in about one, two, three hours, the moon will begin to oppose Saturn in the sky. That puts us at 11.13 a.m. Pacific time. Please convert to where you are. 11.13 a.m. I would say that's when things might start to get even more interesting.</p><p>Yesterday I said the domino dropped when the moon passed the south node Virgo. Second domino drops 11 a.m. today. And by the way, I don't mean anything big had to happen, but yesterday I know that I came into a deeper connection to who I am in my past.</p><p>I see the south node as the collection of all the different lives we've lived holographically. And what comes up when we have south node activations is that we connect to these past selves, these intentions, and ultimately the tools that we have from the past that we're using now to go towards the North Node, which is Pisces.</p><p>And so anything that brings you into a greater state of Letting go, forgiveness, not in a way that will compromise you in any way. This is not about bypassing or being a victim or a martyr of anything. This is saying, what tools can I use in order to connect to the truth right now for me?</p><p>Moon opposes Saturn around 11.15am in a few hours here today and we'll start to feel like we are speaking to an authority outside of ourselves or they are coming to speak to us or perhaps we are an authority in our own way that someone is speaking to or showing up and it's truly only</p><p>Two hours later, by 1.15, the moon passes the sun and completes that solar eclipse. And so we are in the new phase of the new moon cycle from 1.15 today. But that's really not the whole game just yet, because what happens a few hours later, the moon passes into the sign of Libra,</p><p>thereby beginning its opposition to Neptune around 3 p.m., And I do think it's probably between this 11.15 a.m. time to around this 3 p.m. time, 4 p.m. even, Yeah, probably even up until 5 p.m. 11 till 5, that's like a limbo bardo period because the moon is opposing the in-between period of Saturn and Neptune.</p><p>Now go pull up a chart, listen to this again if you need to, but just look at that on the chart. this Bardo period begins. And it's also this whole day that the sun is essentially going to be making its opposition to Saturn as well.</p><p>And the sun itself also enters this twilight Bardo period between 20 degrees of Virgo and zero degrees of Libra, which opposes Saturn and Neptune in their respective opposite signs. It's basically by 8 p.m., nah, 7, let's see, 6 even. 6 p.m., the moon gets way closer into the grand trine in air. And so by this evening,</p><p>we might be feeling like that little Bardo period put us into an opportunity. But I have to just say, and I know this is going over 10 minutes now, so thank you for being here. This new moon, because it happens opposite this midpoint of Saturn and Neptune, we are beginning to</p><p>Like I said earlier, this Bardo period for like really the next six months. And again, Mercury in Libra ruling this, co-ruling this with Venus. In Virgo, we have to talk to people. Do not keep your s**t inside of you, okay? Mars does not move into Scorpio today. Like I said yesterday, that's not true.</p><p>It moves in tomorrow on Monday. But I do think that Mars squaring Pluto will either have us... implode or finally explode, finally take the action that we need to. So final thing, just don't keep your s**t inside, okay? Talk to people about it. You don't need to make big decisions, but talk to people about it. Write messages,</p><p>open your mouth, be brave, say things, take responsibility for it, but know that you've placed it within the will of God, so to speak, the will of the creative muse, the will of something far beyond you. So yeah, I'm super curious about</p><p>the energetics of 11 a.m to 3 p.m so keep your eyes out and let me know how it goes for you let me know how you're doing it's so nice to hear from you so all right that's what I have bye</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Bright Side Astrology at <a href="https://brightsideastrology.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">brightsideastrology.substack.com/subscribe</a>]]></description><link>https://brightsideastrology.substack.com/p/september-21st-2nd-and-3rd-eclipse</link><guid isPermaLink="false">substack:post:174170682</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bright Side Astrology]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 21 Sep 2025 15:29:50 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/174170682/d952b27e213bc90b98d208d89a6bd521.mp3" length="8704149" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Bright Side Astrology</itunes:author><itunes:explicit>No</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>725</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://substackcdn.com/feed/podcast/3555185/post/174170682/880035721da36c6080d1f00d1c5137d8.jpg"/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Saturday September 20: First Eclipse Domino Falls ]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Bright Side Astrology at <a href="https://brightsideastrology.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">brightsideastrology.substack.com/subscribe</a>]]></description><link>https://brightsideastrology.substack.com/p/saturday-september-20-first-eclipse</link><guid isPermaLink="false">substack:post:174100334</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bright Side Astrology]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 20 Sep 2025 15:03:29 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/174100334/2ba4075837667e0ee8ee80177c623272.mp3" length="7693210" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Bright Side Astrology</itunes:author><itunes:explicit>No</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>641</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://substackcdn.com/feed/podcast/3555185/post/174100334/5ac3877816938c3074b52968346d1caf.jpg"/></item><item><title><![CDATA[August 20 2025 | Quiet Emotional Preparation]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Good morning.</p><p>It is August 20th, Wednesday. And I'm going to start off today by encouraging you to always check in with yourself and what's going on. I don't think you need encouragement to do that. However, astrology and what I say, what anyone says, never supersedes what you're feeling.</p><p>I'm emphasizing this because I really have been off for myself. The sky in the last few days has been a mix of really nice and really challenging, but I have been experiencing a lot of internal challenge, internal sensitivity, and it hasn't been matching up with the transits. But what I failed to consider is my own specific transits.</p><p>I have Mars going over my natal Chiron right now, and my natal Chiron is very important in my chart. It's essentially conjunct to my north node in my chart, and so my evolutionary direction in this lifetime around sensitivity, around relationship, around this axis of self and other with Aries and Libra... I won't get too much into it, but yeah, my Chiron is being touched by Mars right now, and that is a sensitive time.</p><p>I would say even three degrees away from Chiron, when Mars goes to touch Chiron, there's sensitivity activation. And it's been interesting to correlate that, to feel that alongside all of the transits that are applying to everyone, the transits I was so looking forward to — this Moon in Cancer transit this week. And we still have it for all of today, most of today rather.</p><p>Let's see what time the Moon will move away or out of Cancer. My guess is it's going to be later this afternoon. Yeah, so around five o'clock p.m., maybe even 4:30 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, the Moon will move into Leo, and the Moon will oppose Pluto, foreshadowing Venus opposing Pluto, which will happen next week, about a week from today.</p><p>So we still have the rest of this day, Wednesday, till about 5 p.m. Pacific time to really be in this Cancer energy. And I want to just elaborate on this Cancer energy before we step into the Leo Moon time later today.</p><p>Cancer Moon energy, to my despair, is not always about happy emotions. What it is about is emotions. Because Jupiter is transiting through Cancer and because the Moon has been close to Jupiter, this is about authenticity in your emotional experience and expanding your emotional experience and gaining wisdom from your emotional experience. And because the Moon is transiting through its home sign of Cancer, we are extra emotional, dare I say extra sensitive, and there's a lot to be learned and understood, and there's a path to be followed in these emotions.</p><p>So, like I said yesterday, I think, check where Cancer is in your chart. Check what house it is in. Check where 15 degrees of Cancer is in your chart — that's where Jupiter is. That little chunk of space is where the Moon is moving for the rest of the day till 5 p.m. And there's something happening here that's very important. Something's growing now.</p><p>The irony is, today we're still in a very, very dark Moon time, which means there's not a lot of energy outside of us. There's not a lot of energy moving about in the world that's pulling us out in the world for specific reasons. Well, there's some for sure, but just in the larger context of the lunar cycle, we're in a dark phase. So it does almost feel draining, or that we are completing, we're finishing, we're letting go. And if we are building something up right now, if we are working towards something, it's very meticulous, it's very detailed. And it has to do with our art.</p><p>I think this is because the new moon is happening in Leo. So—sorry, the new moon is not happening in Leo, it's happening in Virgo on Friday. But right now the Sun is still in Leo. And so really all the way up until the new moon on Friday — that means today, Wednesday, and tomorrow, Thursday, and most of Friday, because the new moon is at like midnight Pacific time on Friday — most of these next few days, especially after 5 p.m. today, is going to be about your creative work. And then there's going to be this weird thing where we realize we've completed some aspect of our creative work. And so we need to start organizing it. That's the new moon in Virgo — we're going to have to start devoting ourselves to it so wholly, so committedly, and really championing it, I think.</p><p>Anyway, so back to the rest of today. This is about being in touch with what's actually happening authentically for us emotionally. This is about being at home, this is about connecting with family, this is about nurturing yourself, nurturing the people that you love. Venus is with the Moon right now this morning, pretty closely for the rest of this day till five, and so there's something beautiful in all of this emotion. We are tuned in to where we can receive something today and where we might be opening ourselves up emotionally to receive something today.</p><p>So there is mounting pressure though. I mean, I can't—this is mounting pressure of the Moon reaching an opposition to Pluto probably very late tonight. And then this is also, we are, like I said, a week away from the Venus-Pluto opposition. So even though right now, this Wednesday, Moon is very dark, we are still working with many oppositions to Pluto. The Sun is still in a full phase opposition to Pluto from a while ago. Mercury is still in a very full phase opposition to Pluto. So we've got something to say. And then the Moon is going to be in a full phase opposition to Pluto by tonight, which means emotionally we've got something to do.</p><p>And then Venus next week will oppose Pluto, which means we are specifically open to a specific relationship in which Pluto... we are exchanging power. We are exchanging the power of a mind, an audience, for a specific, you know, something specifically creative or heart centered that we hold within us. We are a gateway. Venus is kind of where we are open. We are a doorway. We are a gateway to something true inside of us — and in Leo, this is creative.</p><p>So today, you know, I'm talking a lot about the next week and blah, blah, blah. But today, because the Moon is going to pass over this opposition point to Pluto, we are emotionally kind of tuning in to what's happening over the next week, especially with Venus opposing Pluto. So it's an interesting day. I like it. I like it a lot.</p><p>But like I said at the beginning, check your own transits because this is Cancer. We're going to be feeling things specific to us. And that's for everyone. So check your chart. What are you actually feeling? Or like, don't check your chart. Just talk to yourself. Sit with yourself. Reflect with yourself. What's actually happening? Be honest with yourself emotionally. Meet yourself emotionally. You don't need to stay there forever, but just tune in. Do the work that wants to be done, see where Cancer is in your chart, because that's probably where you need some emotional attention.</p><p>My chart — this is the fifth house, okay? This is more art. My art and my creativity need much more attention. That's where I'm putting a lot of my effort these days and kind of returning to and restructuring. So I wonder where Cancer is in your chart, where you're feeling like you have to meet yourself, give yourself some good love, and also approach this next few weeks as like you're making a new devotion to this.</p><p>So that's what I have, my friends. I have reading availability at the end of this month, I think on the 28th and the 29th, and then also on September 2nd. So if those work for you, go book, go to my website. I'd love to talk to you about what's happening for you creatively, other areas of your life.</p><p>So yeah, until tomorrow.

That's already perfected and it's definitely waning now, but maybe late until last night you felt this.</p><p>Basically, Moon-Mars square. This is a last quarter square. So there was some internal crisis. I think it was probably to do with something external. It was for me. Because Mars in Libra is absolutely external. It's absolutely a relationship. It's absolutely you taking action or someone taking action that affects you. But that action, the goal of it is to balance something out where there was previously an imbalance or things just weren't right.</p><p>But when the moon squares that, it's like a decision someone makes at home really just grinds your gears a little bit and it's not all bad, but I experienced it last night as just anger that came out of nowhere that shouldn't. I understand why it did. And I was like, what is happening? And then I checked the astrology and it was just the exact Moon-Mars square. And I was like, haha, I'm just going to put myself to bed. It's okay. This is okay. It's really all right.</p><p>But I think we're still kind of in the wake of that today. All that is saying to me is that relationships in our life, they want to help us balance things. And sometimes when you're poked by something sharp that someone else does or someone else's reaction to something that you've done, you consciously or unconsciously start to get parameters of what you can and can't do. So, I don't know. I haven't fully figured that one out yet, but the Mars-Moon square, essentially, we're coming out of it. It's not the most lovely.</p><p>I will preface all of that, but today is actually really nice, and I've been looking at this astrology for a few days now. Today into tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday this week. You know, the moon will be with Jupiter later at 2pm Pacific Standard Time. And once the moon crosses Jupiter, it will be enclosed between Venus and Jupiter for several hours into tomorrow the 20th.</p><p>And I just think there's something really lovely and really authentic emotionally that we can connect to today. Now that these squares to the other cardinal signs are passing, right? We're not going to get any more crazy squares over the rest of this Moon in Cancer transit. I think we will be able to just experience this. So pay attention to where Cancer is in your chart.</p><p>And the next thing I'll say here is that the Mars-Mercury sextile is still very tight today. I think by midday tomorrow, Wednesday, Mercury is going to start speeding up again, so that sextile will finally lose its several day perfection here. But what this Mars-Mercury sextile to me is saying is that with that same Mars, where we are taking actions in relationships, we're taking actions to be active with other people and to balance out part of our lives as well, we know how to articulate why we're doing it. We know how to articulate why we enjoy doing it, why there is something essential of our own nature in that process.</p><p>This Mars in Libra is also very artistic—creating, taking action for beauty, right? Mercury in Leo is also very creative. Mercury in Leo wants to communicate a story from the heart. And Sun is still in Leo. We still got a few more days of Sun in Leo too. So we're still doing the Leo thing, being ourselves. And I think we've figured out something over this retrograde season, and this Mars-Mercury sextile today says we know how to talk about it.</p><p>This is a waning sextile. So the next exact aspect Mars and Mercury will make to each other is a conjunction, I think in like two months. So this is really a nice time. We have a final opportunity to communicate our heart to someone and in a situation that actually allows us to take action and move our lives forward.</p><p>So there's something about all the safety that we're feeling today. And I don't know if it'll just be safety—I think we'll be feeling a lot of emotions. And I don't think we're going to drown in them, right? I don't think they're going to overtake us, because our minds are so sharp right now. We just have a very sharp capacity to articulate something today and into tomorrow.</p><p>So this is like today and tomorrow, really, we have this chunk, we have this period of time where we're connected to ourselves and we can take action on it. Which I think is a really nice thing.</p><p>I will say though, this morning, last night, yesterday was difficult because of the Saturn square and because of the Mars square to the moon. So don't get caught up in it for the rest of the day. Let that move on. Mars is very quick energy. Okay? And shuttle the Mars back into the Mercury stuff. Write about it. Talk about it. Use your hands to create something.</p><p>And I think there's a strong sense of home, a strong sense of belonging, and a strong sense of connection to our emotional body, which sometimes can feel uncomfortable to be so in our emotions because they're so unreliable, they're so fleeting.</p><p>But, you know, evolutionary astrology always says—and I think that I reached this conclusion before I ever even started thinking about astrology—you have to feel the thing. You actually have to let it pass through your system or it's going to fester. And that's not a good thing. You know, I guess I won't judge it. I've let stuff fester in my life for sure.</p><p>But taking emotional action feels like the scarier and bigger thing to do, but it is actually quicker than letting the same thing sit and fester. This is core EA element, core EA teaching of resistance versus engagement. And those are pretty much the only two options that we ever have.</p><p>So when we get these squares like we did yesterday... We can resist taking action and making a decision, or we can engage them. And I don't think that it's such a clear playbook as resistance looks like walking away and engagement looks like walking into it. I think that sometimes engagement can look like walking away when you do so intentionally. And you allow the space that you make to be filled up again with your own intention, and that you don't resist the other thing that you're supposed to be doing.</p><p>Because we have a lot of things we're supposed to be doing. So it's about fine-tuning what is actually the harder thing for you to do. What is actually the real thing for you to do? What is it that your loneliness or that your addiction is covering up? Because I think today we're going to feel that. If we've been covering something up, we're going to feel it. And we'll actually be able to talk about it and turn those words into some action.</p><p>So a perfect storm to bring us into a perfect moment to start moving, to keep keeping on.</p><p>So moon—this is the last thing I'll say. Moon is very dark. We have a new moon on Friday. Moon is very, very dark. So I don't think these actions, I don't think it'll be time to start actually implementing them. We're in kind of like a planning phase. So there isn't big stress or pressure to actually do the thing. But we are planning for it now.</p><p>So I will end there. I hope you have a lovely day. And I hope that this Cancer stuff does something interesting. That sounds crazy. But okay. That's it.

My name is Julianne, and here’s another podcast for this week. You can also read this full podcast here in the show notes: </p><p>I’ll be doing dailies. I took a long break, figuring out if I wanted to keep doing this, and it feels like I will—as long as I want to. And I do want to. Today is Monday, August 18th. Early this morning, the moon was at 27 degrees of Gemini, and within the next six hours, it shifts into Cancer. So we get two different vibes today: Gemini first, then Cancer. The Gemini energy is nice, though we’re already feeling the square to Saturn. As the moon moves from late Gemini into early Cancer, it squares Saturn in early Aries. This is a first-quarter square, which is about breaking free from something—likely a block we’ve been facing around our own capacity to lead ourselves. With the moon in Gemini, there may be a lot of ideas, but the square to Saturn insists we pick one that feels genuinely curious and heart-opening, rather than pressuring ourselves into inaction. Saturn, when restrictive, can paralyze us, but what’s needed is a brave decision tied to some longer spiritual or visionary commitment, especially with Neptune nearby. Resistance comes from the fact that this is something we’ve been working on for a long time—our leadership, our ability to manifest a dream. The moon says: just choose a way forward, even if you’re tired, because the moon is also growing very dark now, pulling us inward. This square is about finding the emotional orientation to keep moving, even as the energy turns inward and quiet.</p><p>Today, the moon remains in that square to Saturn and Neptune, which may feel like a block. Mars, ruler of Saturn and Neptune right now, is in Libra, which adds frustration: we want to act in relationship, to move with others, but the commitment is really to ourselves. That said, Mars in Libra and Mercury in Leo are in a supportive sextile all week, which makes this a good time to articulate ourselves clearly, especially about relationships and visions for self and other. Even with today’s blocks, there’s harmony available in how we express ourselves. When the moon shifts into Cancer around noon Pacific, the square will be tightest, and that’s when we can make a brave, emotional decision to move forward.</p><p>Overall, today is about staying with the energy rather than pushing too hard. Saturn in Aries wants total freedom now, but the deeper truth is that many of our dreams are already here—we’ve just grown used to them. We’re closing a cycle and seeding the next, so it’s about training ourselves to feel safe where we are and letting curiosity guide us instead of restriction. This morning is good for saying something, sharing something, even if self-doubt or imposter syndrome creeps in. This square calls for bravery and for creating safety once the moon enters Cancer. The week ahead looks brighter—Tuesday and Wednesday the moon connects with Jupiter and Venus, bringing ease. For now, keep your momentum even if things feel sticky. That’s what I have for you today, my friends. Welcome back, and see you tomorrow.</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Bright Side Astrology at <a href="https://brightsideastrology.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">brightsideastrology.substack.com/subscribe</a>]]></description><link>https://brightsideastrology.substack.com/p/august-18-2025-get-over-the-block</link><guid isPermaLink="false">substack:post:171281480</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bright Side Astrology]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 18 Aug 2025 14:55:21 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/171281480/df3c4419517d5d53c09fd61d500f119f.mp3" length="6675850" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Bright Side Astrology</itunes:author><itunes:explicit>No</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>556</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://substackcdn.com/feed/podcast/3555185/post/171281480/5ac3877816938c3074b52968346d1caf.jpg"/></item><item><title><![CDATA[August 9 | Robocop ]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>https://calendly.com/jpt33</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Bright Side Astrology at <a href="https://brightsideastrology.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">brightsideastrology.substack.com/subscribe</a>]]></description><link>https://brightsideastrology.substack.com/p/august-9-robocop</link><guid isPermaLink="false">substack:post:170542861</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bright Side Astrology]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 09 Aug 2025 16:16:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/170542861/7c2092458e93ee49cf8f0912020c659a.mp3" length="8242643" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Bright Side Astrology</itunes:author><itunes:explicit>No</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>687</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://substackcdn.com/feed/podcast/3555185/post/170542861/5ac3877816938c3074b52968346d1caf.jpg"/></item><item><title><![CDATA[August 8 | Bright Communities, Honesty ]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Julianne talks about the very full moon of August 8th, and the bright realization of our connections. </p><p>Book a reading here! http://calendly.com/jpt33</p><p></p><p></p><p></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Bright Side Astrology at <a href="https://brightsideastrology.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">brightsideastrology.substack.com/subscribe</a>]]></description><link>https://brightsideastrology.substack.com/p/august-8-bright-communities-honesty</link><guid isPermaLink="false">substack:post:170457357</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bright Side Astrology]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 08 Aug 2025 15:58:43 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/170457357/3373d7d244a63e7d283901f9f4b44d1d.mp3" length="7264305" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Bright Side Astrology</itunes:author><itunes:explicit>No</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>605</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://substackcdn.com/feed/podcast/3555185/post/170457357/5ac3877816938c3074b52968346d1caf.jpg"/></item><item><title><![CDATA[August 7 | Moon's Prep for the Future]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Julianne talks about another day of work, and stepping into the future. </p><p>we are being initiated out into the air,</p><p>out into the atmosphere,</p><p>out into the possibilities in the atmosphere.</p><p>And therefore,</p><p>we have to start redefining who we are,</p><p>where we come from,</p><p>saying,</p><p>I am from earth.</p><p>What does that really mean?</p><p>That means I am made of the earth.</p><p>The earth made me, just like</p><p>Your mother made you.</p><p>The earth made you.</p><p></p><p>https://calendly.com/jpt33</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Bright Side Astrology at <a href="https://brightsideastrology.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">brightsideastrology.substack.com/subscribe</a>]]></description><link>https://brightsideastrology.substack.com/p/august-7-moons-prep-for-the-future</link><guid isPermaLink="false">substack:post:170372649</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bright Side Astrology]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 07 Aug 2025 16:08:29 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/170372649/2ea435ab78792187eb433100883cd28b.mp3" length="8314114" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Bright Side Astrology</itunes:author><itunes:explicit>No</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>693</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://substackcdn.com/feed/podcast/3555185/post/170372649/5ac3877816938c3074b52968346d1caf.jpg"/></item><item><title><![CDATA[6 Aug | CAPRICORN MATRIARCHY ]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Julianne talks about a swath of things she still can’t full wrap her head around.
