Hi, everyone. Welcome to another episode. Today, we have our resident astrologer, Sarah, back on Thank you so much, Sarah, for joining us. So there's a lot going on in the astrological climate right now.
00:00:33

Speaker
Steven, how you doing? I'm doing pretty good. This is life is trending I'm pretty excited.
00:01:14
Speaker
Yeah, I'm feeling the same way. I'm doing pretty good too. Things are moving forward. I'm making a comeback. How you feeling, Sarah? What's going on? I'm just really excited to be here.
00:01:26
Speaker
um missed you guys while i was in Tucson, and I'm glad glad to be back.
00:01:33
Speaker
Well, thank you for coming. Yeah, thank you. it's Sarah, it sounds like everyone's having very different experiences right now. um I know you you were saying there's so much going on.
00:01:44
Speaker
think you called it the sky dance. Yeah. tell us, who are the players in this dance?
Astrological Transitions Discussion
00:01:49
Speaker
And maybe just give us a high-level overview of everything that's going on in the sky right now.
00:01:55
Speaker
I will do my best to not make everyone's head spin as it's been making my head spin. um so March was... pretty, pretty powerful month with the eclipse portal, that two week long eclipse portal opening with the lunar eclipse. I believe that was in Virgo and Pisces. That was like March 14th, I believe. And then The solar eclipse just closed that portal last night. um And then meanwhile,
00:02:22
Speaker
ah Neptune has been like dilly dallying on that last degree of Pisces for a while, um just waiting to move into Aries, which happened today.
00:02:33
Speaker
And so the last time Neptune moved Aries was 164 years ago. And Neptune only changes signs once every 15 years. so we only see Neptune enter maybe five or six signs in our lifetime.
00:02:47
Speaker
um for lucky to live to be like 90, depending on you know where we are in that Neptune cycle when we're born. um So meanwhile, Mercury and Neptune are conjunct because Mercury retrograde is now at zero Aries, about to move back to the 29th degree of Pisces, while Neptune has been like dangling on that 29th degree of Pisces and just moved into zero degree Aries. So the Mercury-Neptune conjunct and they switched places.
00:03:10
Speaker
And then Venus is right behind it going backwards. So the nodes also move backwards. So the nodes are really what determine where the eclipses happen. And it's when the sun and the moon intersect with the nodes.
00:03:24
Speaker
So with the nodes moving backwards over the same point that Venus and Mercury are moving backwards, while Neptune is moving forwards, that last degree of Pisces and that first degree of Aries has been really...
00:03:38
Speaker
um in the spotlight lately. And then everything else that's happening, we've got like four outer planets changing signs this year. That never happens. The outer planets have that generational collective influence on us.
00:03:51
Speaker
And usually like maybe one will have one outer planet will change a sign. But we've got like Uranus going into Gemini. We've got Jupiter going into Cancer. And then Saturn is going to enter Aries shortly after Neptune.
00:04:04
Speaker
so And so we got four planets. And that is so huge. And not just that, but those outer planets have been in water and Earth, which is slower and introspective. But these outer planets moving into air and fire, they're very extroverted and they're very active.
00:04:20
Speaker
um And it's very fast. So... we're going to see the collective shifting from slower, more introverted to like extroverted and fast moving. And i feel like we're seeing this happening in the world.
00:04:34
Speaker
So, and I was just listening to a talk on the 29th degree, ah Georgia Stathis mentioned that that 29th degree is like a toxic waste dump. Right. And so if you think about every other degree of a sign, you know, there's a, there's a notion that each degree has a different image and a different lesson.
00:04:53
Speaker
but all the lessons of the sign kind of culminates that 29th degree. And so what do you do with all that buildup and all that waste that's you accumulated throughout the sign? And so, um,
00:05:06
Speaker
You know, I think that ultimately the 29th degree of Pisces, it's the ultimate end. The Zodiac ends there. And then zero degrees is the beginning.
Personal Impact of Astrological Changes
00:05:14
Speaker
So like it's it's huge. Endings and beginnings are happening and we're going backward and forward over it.
00:05:22
Speaker
So we're really mulling over endings and beginnings right now. i think ultimately is really what it boils down to. i hope that wasn't too much. I wish everyone could see Danny, Steven, and Jimmy's faces right now. like explaining that.
00:05:36
Speaker
What? Okay. So you had this 29th degree of Pisces into that beginning of Aries. So like, for example, to give context, if people were looking at their chart and they're, so they would basically look for where Pisces ends and Aries begins.
00:05:51
Speaker
I'm looking actually Jimmy's chart right now. So his though His Pisces, because usually it's in one house if we're using Placidus, but his Pisces ends and Aries start right at the cusp of sixth and seventh house.
00:06:03
Speaker
That's the descendant. So I said that's a big flipping deal. That 29th degree is on Jimmy's love point. And Neptune will, it'll make you drunk. It'll make you punch drunk lovesick, you know?
00:06:15
Speaker
You'll be like, oh my God, what why am I drunk on this feeling right now? This feeling of this love from another world that I'm experiencing with a human. And that's very Neptunian. So Neptune's been, Neptune will definitely, it'll make you drunk on love. It'll make you drunk on a dream.
00:06:32
Speaker
um you just got to make sure that you you know you got your like your life on earth kind of in order. folks so you don't want to abandon it too long for the dream and come back and be like, what happened? Where was I?
00:06:44
Speaker
so So then, ah so Jimmy's is on that, that cusp, right? And then Stevens is more in his seventh house. Yeah. hysons And then to Aries, would it be similar? so It won't be as intense as Jimmy's because it's not on the descendant, but it would still be in that.
00:07:01
Speaker
Cause seventh house is relationships, not just romantic, but platonic as well. Right. It's so, um, one of my favorite, one of my favorite astrologers, Stephen Forrest, he calls it the house of soulmates.
00:07:11
Speaker
Some like in traditional astrology in the, in the past, people would call it the house of like your open enemies. Yeah, it's true. um but you're even your enemies are your soulmates, the coworkers, the, the partners you date, the friends you make, the people that cross your path. I mean, they're all soulmates in some way or another.
00:07:31
Speaker
Um, but the seventh house is where you partner up in friendship and business and love and sex, all those things. So I just like to call that house, the soulmate house. Cause it encompasses all that. Um,
00:07:43
Speaker
So yeah, the Neptune. And so you're experiencing like beginnings and endings in that then potentially in those areas? I would say so. I mean, and it doesn't even necessarily mean like a concrete beginning or ending. Maybe it's an ending of, you know, a perspective that you've been or a belief or a philosophy that you've carried around for so long and suddenly just kind of falls away. And it's like, nope.
00:08:04
Speaker
Or maybe it's just the, it could be, it's definitely the ending and beginning of a cycle. What that cycle entails is personal for you because because the first house, seventh house, that's the relationship axis.
00:08:18
Speaker
And that's a very personal axis in our chart. So, um but there's no denying that shifting from Pisces to Aries is an ending and a beginning. So with that happening in Stephen's seventh house,
00:08:30
Speaker
He might be thinking of ending one phase, starting a new phase in his relationship. Are you thinking about proposing? What's going on? Well, I was about to say, you just healed everything in my life is doing that, whether it's professionally, personally. Yeah, I'll probably marry this woman.
00:08:47
Speaker
oh yeah The word work is is turning up phenomenally. yeah Old contracts are ending or getting renewed or renegotiating, but there's massive or amount of potential in a very week or two.
00:08:59
Speaker
Love life is there. yeah The house situation is changing. So everything you just said, it's in all of it. Right. Yeah. like no all Things are changing fast and things are ending and beginning fast because it's Aries. Aries doesn't waste time. It hits the ground running. It's fire. You spark that fire, that fire spreads and it takes hold. It's fast. And fire moves faster than any other element. It consumes and it transforms matter into ether like instantly.
00:09:29
Speaker
So I think that we've been used to moving slow over the last however many years, and we have to get ready for a new pace because the collective is gonna be operating at a new pace now, that makes sense.
00:09:42
Speaker
Interesting. So then I'm looking at Dani's chart right now. So her Pisces ends and Aries begins in her 10th house. Can you illuminate maybe for her a little bit? 10th house of career and public image, correct?
00:09:54
Speaker
Yeah, I feel like that Pisces phase is probably like you've been, you know, dreaming up ideas and fantasies and projects and things you want to do. And Aries is like, we're doing it. We're making this shit happen. We're going to execute these visions I've been having.
00:10:06
Speaker
And so you've been having all these plans in your mind. And Aries is like, we're doing it. We're doing it. We're taking action. Like it's happening. go, go. go So, i mean, there's going to feel, it's going to feel less introspective in your career and more, more movement, more action, more execution of ideas and projects.
00:10:27
Speaker
Less contemplation, more like execution, I think is really what's happening. Like you're feeling more motivated and inspired to actually do something instead of think about it. You know, like maybe even thinking about doing things your career and now you're like, okay, enough thinking, like less thinking, more acting. Yeah.
00:10:45
Speaker
How's that resonate, Dani? ah Spot on. She's always right. It's just like, it's just so crazy. Like Maya, you know this, like, does it sound like she's spot on? Yeah. But like, that means that she's going to get more energy momentum forward then. Right. Cause Dani, are you saying? How you were kind of frustrated that things were kind of moving like a little slower, like lack of clarity and you'd rather like you're ready to move forward.
00:11:12
Speaker
Yeah. um it yep I don't see any of that. yeah so i feel like Sarah spins it always to be positive. like she and want you to like you know She's not like blunt enough. She always spins it.
00:11:25
Speaker
because Right now, I'm like not feeling the positivity aspect. I'm like frustrated. It's slow. Nothing's happening. That's Aries, too. Yeah. ah So that's Aries too. so the thing with Aries is that there's a readiness for things to happen and they're not happening as fast as you want them to. Yeah.
00:11:43
Speaker
So like you might not have been ready for things to happen, but suddenly it's shift. Like there's an internal shift, like I'm ready to make things happen, but they're not in, there's like an immediacy suddenly, like it needs to be immediate.
00:11:55
Speaker
Like now there's this urgency, but it's not now enough for you. that's the thing with Aries that Aries is like, Aries is at the finish line but right when they start and they just don't want to, they just want to finish. They weren't done.
00:12:08
Speaker
Yeah. but Exactly right. Okay. So does it ever like catch up to where I want to be? Like, it will, the ultimate lesson for Aries is patience and to like the urgency and the immediacy is real. That's what motivates the drive to act.
00:12:26
Speaker
Aries has to accept that, um, the outcome requires a process and it's not immediate. Um, yeah, but the picy But the slowness, and you know that's an important part because that's where you're dreaming and planning and visioning. And everything starts with a vision before it can become tangible and manifest. So, I mean...
00:12:52
Speaker
I don't know. I feel like in your career with Neptune and Pisces being there, it might've been like, or with all the Pisces action, it's kind of like, i don't know what I'm doing. There's a lack of direction. There's a lack of clarity. And then suddenly, bam, like fire, Aries, clarity, action, direction. Yes.
00:13:08
Speaker
And then there's this excitement, but then there's that frustration and impatience like, but I want everything to be now because finally you have clarity and it's so exciting. But the road from manifesting what's in your mind into the world, that's a different process that you have to find patience with.
00:13:25
Speaker
But the motivation to act and the clarity of knowing is there now.
Neptune and Saturn: Dream vs Reality
00:13:30
Speaker
So that's exciting. Dan, are you excited? yeah let's hear that excited mass Love the positivity. Jimmy advised I get these Viking runes. Right, Jimmy? like a Yeah, the Viking runes.
00:13:49
Speaker
freaking pulled one yesterday and it was literally patience. Yeah. just knew You got it. You totally get it. so It comes because you need patience.
00:14:00
Speaker
Yeah. So everything in that 10th house will tell me that you're impatient when it comes to career moves, when it comes to making big moves in your career or like elevating your career or creating something that um represents your mark in the world or your legacy. That's a big deal for you. And I can see in general with Aries being there, there's going to be a lack of patience with that.
00:14:20
Speaker
um But don't lose hope. You know, you're you'll get it done. You got Aries there. It'll get done. Yeah. okay Maybe when I'm 90, but it'll be good.
00:14:31
Speaker
No, it's not Capricorn. You're good. Aries is faster than Taurus. Capricorn will be the next life. Yeah. clean of no Well, also keep in mind Saturn is in Pisces too. Saturn is kind of behind Neptune. So Saturn will create some blocks.
00:14:48
Speaker
too. I hate Saturn. You know hate Saturn. You're You're ruled by Saturn. Everyone hates Saturn because Saturn just slows things down and it'll delay things and it'll create roadblocks and obstacles because Saturn really wants you, because Saturn is a slow build, Saturn builds and Saturn builds in a slow way because Saturn doesn't like to make mistakes because if you don't build right, it won't last.
00:15:14
Speaker
And Saturn wants to build things that last, which is why Saturn will slow the process down so that you are certain that what you're building is exactly how you want it to be because you change over that process and the vision changes.
00:15:27
Speaker
You know, and is it like, but, you know, you could be building something and then you're like, wait, is this really what I want to be building as time goes on? So you want to make sure that your vision and what you're building is stands the test of time.
00:15:38
Speaker
that's the sentiment I think Saturn could help me. I think in the relationship house, I think it could help stabilize that. So I'm not too much in lava land. Heck yeah. I think that's exactly what I do.
00:15:50
Speaker
And I think it for me, because Aries is mostly in my seventh house, you know, I'm used to being in and out of relationships fast. I date and I get rid of people. I'm like the one date wonder.
00:16:02
Speaker
I think it might actually slow me down, keep me out of the dream state and actually help me build something solid. Yes. Saturn will sober you. It'll keep you sober. So Saturn with that Neptune is a nice, it'll offset like that punch drunk lovesick experience.
00:16:17
Speaker
um And it'll keep you grounded and stable. And Saturn stabilizes and gives longevity to everything it touches. So yeah, absolutely. Yeah. So it's kind of nice. It's happening together. Saturn and Neptune are coming together because they're basically trying to balance each other out. One's dreamy and one's realistic.
00:16:35
Speaker
Yes. And so there might be a conflict there between, yes, the ideally that the best possible scenario of the two of them coming together would be and integration and a balance between reality and dreams.
00:16:48
Speaker
Realistically, it can you know the frustration and challenge of that alignment could be difficulty separating fantasy from reality. The same as Neptune, but maybe therere there could be so many ways that Saturn and Neptune interact can kind of mesh together.
00:17:07
Speaker
Maybe the reality blocks you from the fantasy. Maybe you feel blocked and uninspired and you can't access the vision. Maybe the vision keeps you from facing reality. I mean, it's an Aries, you know? yeah.
00:17:22
Speaker
it's very, it's very self-driven areas is very leadership oriented, very self-driven. So if anything with all of this new energy in areas, I think people are going to be, want to be more self-reliant, self-driven. There's going to be motivation, more ambition, um, and more like individual.
00:17:40
Speaker
There's going be less, I feel like people are going to want to be more individualistic in their
Pisces to Aries Transition Effects
00:17:44
Speaker
pursuits. If that makes sense. Interesting. So we'll see it as kind of collective and then people can look at their chart uniquely to their own.
00:17:53
Speaker
um i have mine, my last degree of Pisces and into Aries is in my first house. all that i saw that. saw that. mean, It's so interesting with the 12th house and the first rehears house because first house is actually below the horizon.
00:18:11
Speaker
right And so it's not visible, but really the first house is is very visible in astrology. This has always been a thing in astrology that's confused me. The 12th house is hidden, even though it's above the horizon.
00:18:23
Speaker
So I always found that a little tricky and confusing. But with that first house, I think that... I mean, with Neptune has been trancing your first house. So whenever Neptune is like near the ascendant in the first house, it makes you very, very charming.
00:18:40
Speaker
Very, um what's the word I'm looking for? um it's almost like inspiring people. It's enchanting. That's the word. It makes you enchanting.
00:18:52
Speaker
Like, I don't know if you've, if people have been like telling you that they've been finding you extra. i you already have your moon there. So like Neptune hitting your moon, I think that it makes you ah your outward appearance. Like your personality is enchanting to other people, even though for you, there's been a lot of emotional confusion around there.
00:19:08
Speaker
But I think Neptune moving into Aries, you're going to want to take action on something that enchants you in some way is something that makes you enchanting, I think you're going to be more assertive, if that makes sense. it's so it's such an interesting combination. Neptune is enchantment and Aries is assertive.
00:19:27
Speaker
So I don't know... I think you're going to be more driven to express yourself individually than you might have been with the Pisces energy. ah feel like going to be more like, I'm here world. This is me.
00:19:40
Speaker
Like, see me, look at me. Whereas Pisces doesn't want the world to see them and look at them. So I think this is going to be an extroverted time for you. Whereas Pisces was more introverted. Interesting.
00:19:51
Speaker
So I have arrived. Yeah. I mean, you're ready for the world to see you You're ready to come out ah you' ready to come out of the dream and like into the world. you feeling it? coming out.
00:20:02
Speaker
Perfect. It's interesting that um this, yeah, definitely been through a major transition. And the big theme now is standing my ground and speaking my truth and heck yeah expressing more of that. But my Pisces side is like, nevermind, I'm good.
00:20:18
Speaker
Yeah, right. But Neptune's like, do it. do it Okay. Interesting, Sarah. How about for you? Like, where is it hitting for your chart? It's my fifth house.
00:20:29
Speaker
I'm just like, it's a ride for me. I'm just like on a little ride. i feel like I'm at the, music feel like it's an amusement park and I'm just like on the rides, like we playing games, like eating popcorn. You know, it's just like, I feel it.
00:20:40
Speaker
It makes me giggly. Like as a kid, it's my fifth house. The fifth house is where you feel young and you feel youthful, like a child, you play games, um you flirt, you have one night stands, you go gambling, like You know, you just do all the fun, pleasurable things that are um simple, that make you feel young and happy just in that moment. And so i think I'm just, i don't, I think I'm trying to like use, I'm trying to harness, I think with with all the airy stuff, it can almost make some people like manic, you know, like maybe you're more restless at night or maybe it's harder to sleep because the energy is too intense. I'm just trying to like channel the excitement into like creative projects.
00:21:25
Speaker
So I guess I'm feeling kind of just creative and fun with it, but I'm also very much like, do I have a right to do that? Because I've had shitty transits like in my 12th house and my eighth house, my second house. And I'm like, Is it really okay for me to just have a fifth house like transit? Is it okay for me just enjoy myself and have fun?
00:21:41
Speaker
i don't know. I guess you are deserving of having this fun and light transition because yeah, because it sounds like depending, obviously depending on the house, it's so different. Like you mentioned 12th house, that would be a very different energy, right? Like what if this was transitioning someone's 12th house?
00:21:57
Speaker
Wow. I mean, that's very personal. I was listening to an astrologer, Andrea Gertz. She's so awesome. I'll have to send you guys links to a couple of her talks. um She talks about, she says that every chart is its own animal, which is neat, you know? So if you look at every chart as a separate animal, that 12th house, it's it's like a, it's like a basement, you know, the 12th house is like, ah, that's old stuff. We shove that in the basement. We don't, we don't, you know, we don't wear this anymore. We don't think about that anymore. That's old. Right.
00:22:32
Speaker
But there's psychic charge in the 12th house because the fragments of our memories and our soul and our life force are kind of buried with those, those old memories and those old feelings. And so just because they're tucked away there doesn't mean they're resolved.
00:22:48
Speaker
So, Um, maybe, you know, with someone going through that in their twelfth house, they might be lashing out. There might be some behavioral. breakdowns and maybe like some emotional, like lashing out because things are coming up that are subconscious and they might be triggering some rage. I mean, Aries is rage.
00:23:09
Speaker
It's ruled by Mars. I mean, it's the it's the fighting God. it's It shows Aries is really how we fight. And here's what's so interesting to i remember. Wherever Pisces is in your chart, it's the area of your life that you most devote yourself to. Pisces is a sign of devotion.
00:23:24
Speaker
They are a martyr and they give themselves ah to to people, to the world, to humanity. They just give themselves freely. And that's why they're so beautiful. I love them. um And so Pisces is ultimate devotion, whereas Aries, I think, is like, how do you fight?
00:23:38
Speaker
How do you handle your anger? How do you go for what you want? How do you stand up for yourself? Right. So in the 12th house, it's subconscious. So I think people experiencing that in with the 12th house might be overreacting.
00:23:52
Speaker
to things because they're experiencing subconscious triggers. they don't understand. And Aries tends to not, Aries tends to blame, no offense, Aries, I love you so much, but sometimes Aries will, if they don't want to own something that doesn't make them as wonderful and great as we all know that they are, they'll kind of just play put it on someone else and blame someone else.
00:24:11
Speaker
So I would just say, be mindful of overreacting and like over blaming other people for your own subconscious triggers in that 12th house, really lovingly. i would remind that lovingly.
00:24:22
Speaker
Lovingly. Oh my gosh. Interesting. I wonder, do you think, do you guys think we should like have her just finish the houses? So anyone listening can kind of get a snippet of, okay, so we did the first house.
00:24:33
Speaker
How about we just go in order? How about um the second house? If that was transitioning. So people will look at their chart you her chart and you'll see where Pisces ends and Aries begins. If that falls in your second house, what does that look like?
00:24:47
Speaker
Oh, money, money, money, money. But the second house is, it's bigger than money. It's your assets. It's your resources. It's your physical body. It's your paycheck. it's the It's the money and resources that you earn for yourself. It's it's what belongs to you. All of those things ultimately are a reflection of self-worth.
00:25:05
Speaker
So to me, the second house is all about that self-worth. The way you make your money, the way you spend your money, the way you manage your money, the way you attract resources and funds and assets into your life is a reflection of how much you believe your worth.
00:25:19
Speaker
So, you know, there might be, you might be feeling more demanding, you know, with the second house, you might be like, I should making more money. This is bullshit. You know, like, what am I doing to like have my life reflect my true worth, you know? So with that, you might be feeling like you want to take more action to bring in more worth and more, you might be feeling like you're ready to assert your self-worth in the world.
00:25:44
Speaker
Love it. then how about third house? So third house is, it's our neighborhood. It's our, it's the way we communicate. It's our early childhood education. It's, it's our voice. It's how it's, it's our speaking. It's our learning. It's the way that it's way that we learn and process information um the way that we communicate information.
00:26:07
Speaker
So i think that a third house Aries ingress with all the stuff happening with that eclipse, that Neptune, um, these people might be more outspoken in their community. Maybe they're more extroverted with their neighbors.
00:26:24
Speaker
Um, maybe they're taking more like, like day trips around the neighborhood or the community. um maybe they want it. Maybe people third house areas are feeling motivated to gather people together, give more talks in the community.
00:26:40
Speaker
um Maybe they have, i would just say those third house people are probably going be more outspoken too, but not with respect to asserting their self-worth, but more with respect to sharing and gathering information, sharing information, getting information and making the community better place. Does that make sense?
00:27:00
Speaker
Yeah, that sounds nice. That sounds beautiful as well. And then fourth house is what? Family and homes? Yeah, that's your home life. So maybe if you're thinking about like buying a new house, if you're thinking like if you've been dreaming of moving or modeling your house or doing a house project, I feel like with the Pisces, it's kind of like, oh, I would love to do this to my house or, oh man, I would just love to do this or move here or change this room or that. And now with Aries, it's like, bam, we're doing it.
00:27:29
Speaker
We're going to remodel this. We're going to add addition to the room. We're going to paint this part of the house. We're going to pack up and so you know so it's just making moves and changing your housing situation maybe it's in the family too it's not just your home the fourth house is your roots it's your ancestral roots so maybe some family issues that haven't been discussed are suddenly going to come out in the open and someone's you're going be feeling like it's time to start having conversations about family issues or um Maybe people are going to stand up to their families because they've had family. I don't know. So it could be the home. It could be the family. um Yeah, essentially those two things.
00:28:08
Speaker
Fourth house, I was say also you might be like more motivated to do research around your family. You know, something you might be willing to do research or take action with respect to your family roots or your home life.
00:28:18
Speaker
I guess that's the bottom line. Sorry. Yeah. And then we talked fifth house about kind of lighter. And then so I think actually, i know Jimmy's was sixth into seventh, but we didn't really dive into sixth house. So if someone's going, yes, it's in my sixth house, what does that look like?
00:28:31
Speaker
Um, so the sixth house is going to be your daily routine, your physical health, um, you know, the chores, uh, service to other people, small animals, domesticated animals. Um, maybe some sixth house people might be feeling like they want to adopt a pet, a small animal pet.
00:28:49
Speaker
Um, Maybe they're feeling like they want to take action and go on a new diet or like change, change their morning habit or change their daily routine or change your health habits. It might be a time where people feel like, you know, I'm not as healthy as I want to be. And I'm really ready to take action to shift my health in some way or change my routine to make my health better.
00:29:08
Speaker
Nice. Or your work life, you know, so the six house is also your day job and your work life. So maybe these people are sick of their day job and they want to do something different in that sense.
00:29:19
Speaker
And then we talked about seventh house cause that was pertinent to Jimmy and Steven in terms of maybe wanting to take action and forward momentum in relationships. And then how about eighth house? Eighth house is kind of a confusing house for me.
00:29:31
Speaker
Eighth house is tricky. Um, eighth house a, as a house of merging, right? So look at eighth house with, in relationship to the second house, the second house, eighth house is an axis. They're opposite each other. And it's an axis of, of worth and resources.
00:29:49
Speaker
Second house is my resources. Eighth house is our resources, right? So it's joining your resources with a partner. And it's also where a marriage gets consummated.
00:30:01
Speaker
The seventh house is where you say I do and you do the marriage. The eighth house is where you consummate the marriage. And that's where it gets sexual. Sex is deep, right? And sex is about power. And it's about going deep with one person and joining physically with a person, financially with a person. So you're sharing your body and your resources and you're sexually merging. And so there's a lot of fear and a lot of power that in that realm of intimacy, when it comes to money and sex and joining, does that make sense?
00:30:31
Speaker
So the eighth house can be tricky and confusing in that way, because what sex brings up in you and what merging resources brings up in you is matters of power, power dynamics.
00:30:42
Speaker
You know, sex can be used, as a power dynamic or so the eighth house can be many things. Ultimately one way or another, the eighth house brings up fear, right? Fear of, you know, sex can be scary. Like it can be, you know, it makes us vulnerable, right? We're exposed and sharing money can be scary.
00:30:59
Speaker
um But ultimately, so like we're ultimately sharing power with someone and that can bring up some fear. ah So fears we have around intimacy come up in the eighth house.
00:31:11
Speaker
um fears around sexuality come up, um fears around just partnership. And um it's also inheritance, right? Like family inheritance. So it's also like maybe people with eighth house planets, maybe they inherit money from their family. Maybe there's old money there.
00:31:29
Speaker
So with with that ingress happening in the eighth house, you know a person could they could make different, move maybe they're making different moves with their finances.
00:31:41
Speaker
If they're making decision to join up with a partner, doesn't this have to be sexual or marriage partner could be a business partner. Right. But when you, when you join up with a business partner in a way you're getting into bed with them, right? Like there's a reason why people will synonymously say, when you do business together, you're in bed together.
00:31:56
Speaker
You know, money and sex are very, very like similar. If you're looking at power, just power dynamics. So maybe someone's making a move, maybe, People with that eighth house and gra that eighth house placement are feeling more sexually aroused. Like maybe their sex drive is shifting or changing.
00:32:12
Speaker
don't know. Yeah. If that makes sense. and dave else for or If someone's having that transit, more power to you. And then how about ninth house? Oh, ninth house. That's um higher education. So we're talking university. We're also talking ah foreign travel. Yeah.
00:32:30
Speaker
um leaving the country, like traveling abroad. We're also talking like religion and higher philosophies and looking more spirituality. So maybe people with ninth house placement are like, you know what?
00:32:43
Speaker
I want to go back to school. i want to get my degree. i want i want to get my degree in this. Maybe they're feeling a spark to hire their education or maybe we' like, I'm going to do it. I'm ready. I've been wanting to go to this country for so long. I'm booking it.
00:32:55
Speaker
You know, so maybe, maybe people are making impulsive decisions with the ninth house, Aries, Pisces. I want to get this degree. i want to leave the country. i want to like start pursuing, like, I want to start learning more about this religious philosophy.
00:33:08
Speaker
um so maybe people, those people might be feeling more motivated to like pursue one of those paths. Got it. And then went over 10th house and we talked about Danny. And then i think lastly, how about 11th house?
00:33:19
Speaker
Oh, 11th house. 11th house is the house of your hopes, dreams, and inspirations. So people call it like it's the house of like tribe, right? Where you find your people in your tribe.
00:33:30
Speaker
um but really the experience of finding your tribe and finding your people, um boils down to the fact that when you're, when you're with your tribe, you feel like you're a part of something greater than yourself and you transcend yourself in that experience.
00:33:49
Speaker
So with Pisces and Aries there, um Maybe eleventh house with eleventh house Pisces, there might've been more introverted. There might've been more like, ah, I don't want to go out. I don't want to be around a bunch of people. But with that shift into Aries, maybe, maybe these people are like, I want to get people together.
00:34:09
Speaker
um i want to create a new tribe. I want to start a new meetup. I want to find new ways to meet new people and expand my circle, my social circle. um So it's really about It's really about getting a tribe together of like minds to create something larger than the individual.
00:34:28
Speaker
hope that makes sense. Yeah. So this is where astrology gets obviously so unique. Like you were saying, this big transit because it's a generational planet is affecting collectively, but this is where people can look at their chart and go, okay, what maybe it resonates for me.
00:34:42
Speaker
And it'll stay here for 15 years. So like that Pisces endpoint starting Aries might start in your, let's say, sixth house, but it can then go into your seventh house over the years, it sounds like.
00:34:53
Speaker
so yep yeah Interesting. No big deal. No big deal. How's everyone feeling about all this information? Just a little anxious. I'm just anxious. i have a question, Sarah, because I have my Chiron in Aries.
00:35:06
Speaker
So what happens when Neptune crosses over that Chiron? wow. That's a really beautiful healing opportunity. um you know, Neptune is an otherworldly energy. So you might...
00:35:24
Speaker
You might meet someone or get a psychic hit or download around something that's been really wounding for you for a long time. And Neptune could make it something beautiful. Neptune has a way of beautifying, making things beautiful.
00:35:42
Speaker
um So I think that Neptune gives you an opportunity to kind of see your wounds through rose colored glasses and to see the beauty in your wound and to like love it differently for that.
00:35:54
Speaker
That's really, that's really deep. And for listeners, um the Chiron is your soul wound. It is. Yeah. Chiron in the chart shows you where it hurts. You know, we all have somewhere where it hurts and Chiron points to that, but where it hurts is the opportunity to heal.
00:36:12
Speaker
And that's where you become a wounded healer. And that's where you become medicine for other people is in the process of becoming medicine for yourself. So Chiron is a gift that shows up as a wound.
00:36:24
Speaker
So don't be discouraged. but Thank you. Yeah, because I wonder what that would be like, because I know mine's late in the chart, I think, the degree.
00:36:35
Speaker
So I got a ways to go. But I was like, what happens then? like but What transpires? There might be some confusion around where it hurts, too. So it might you might be feeling...
00:36:51
Speaker
What's the word? You might be like feeling more lovey-dovey towards your wounds. Like they're not like they, because Neptune softens. Neptune has a way of softening things, right? So it'll soften your wounds, right?
00:37:05
Speaker
But it also will create some confusion. Just imagine, you know, when you're drunk, it's great, but you're not totally clear, right? Which to me, Neptune's like the town drunk, but you know?
00:37:17
Speaker
Yeah. It's stumbling around. you know He's really glad it's going into my ah house of money then. Just one spending, spending the money. Yeah, and actually. i have a night to Oh yeah, you have that in your natal chart, don't you?
00:37:34
Speaker
I do. You want to watch out for money leaks. That's another thing with Neptune Moving 32nd house. Self-worth is a big deal. Neptune is so... it's like such a philanthropist and is such a giver neptune will give their last dollar like they'll give they'll give their last breath they'll give their last whatever they have like just if it makes someone's life better if it makes humanity better it's a great cause they'll do it and that's your money girl you want to like plug up those money leaks in your money house so and i believe me i've done it with neptune the second i've given all my money to the beautiful causes i believed in
00:38:06
Speaker
to the love and the relationships I believed in. They didn't work out. It ended. I was bankrupt. I started over again. I can't tell you how many times I started over again financially with Neptune there. So just watch out. You don't give every last dollar to something you believe in and love.
00:38:21
Speaker
Like it keep savings for yourself. Don't leave yourself bankrupt when you wake up from the dream.
00:38:29
Speaker
Perfect. I will take that into consideration. You all should check in with me in 15 years, okay, and tell me. yeah
00:38:38
Speaker
Everyone's going to get me a piggy bank for my birthday. just
00:38:43
Speaker
um Wow, there's so much there's so much going
Endings and Beginnings in Astrology
00:38:45
Speaker
on. Does anyone else kind of have a question whether it's related to their chart or going the transition right now? This would be the time to ask the expert about anything that comes up for y'all.
00:38:57
Speaker
Silence. I actually kind of want to bring in you know, like Neptune is like Neptune is ending this cycle and starting a new one at the 29th degree and into the zero degree.
00:39:10
Speaker
But how funny is it that both Mercury and Venus are moving backwards and forwards over that same area as Neptune is trans as you right And so it's really, ne it's so funny.
00:39:21
Speaker
Not exhausting, not exhausting at all. It's just so funny. yeah See, it's funny me because it my fifth house. there was having a regrett You know what though, Sarah, you deserve to have some fun. Okay. So. yeah But um my heart goes out to everyone who's having this transit happening in other areas of their lives for real. So yeah. Tell us more about kind of this Venus Mercury fuckery that's happening.
00:39:48
Speaker
We're contemplating. We're contemplating what this means like in our own, in our own mind, right? Mercury is our mind. It's our philosophy. It's our perspective, right? It's the way that we,
00:40:00
Speaker
It's the way that we process information and respond to it, right? And how we communicate that. And so the way that we experience this mentally is really being um explored and like reassessed. So we're really assessing this notion of ending and beginning.
00:40:18
Speaker
And we're experiencing like how, how does this change the way our mind operates moving forward? How are we going to operate mentally moving forward with this shift of ending into a new beginning? And then Venus is our money. It's our relationship.
00:40:33
Speaker
It's our taste in, in food and beauty. and people and it's our values. And so we're really contemplating our thoughts, our relationships, our values, and in light of this new ending and beginning. And it's just so much that's being wrapped up.
00:40:53
Speaker
so much. And it can, it's, so it's overwhelming to even describe. And so I feel like it's gotta be overwhelming for people to experience their own personal endings and beginnings in this context. Right.
00:41:09
Speaker
So it's normal to feel crazy up in the mind a little bit right now, not, not being able to get clarity, right? Like the clarity is kind of difficult right now for people. Yeah. And, you know, Mercury has been moving backwards. So here's also what's crazy is the solar eclipse at Aries. It happened at nine degrees Aries. Yeah.
00:41:30
Speaker
That is the degree where Mercury retrograded. that the Mercury stationed at that degree. So Mercury stationed on the eclipse degree. And now it's conjuncting Neptune at zero Aries.
00:41:42
Speaker
And then it's about to go back into Pisces. So it's kind of like, is this over? i don't know. Is it really over? We thought it was over. Maybe it's not over. Okay, it's over. You know what i mean? So it's like dragging out over the course of like weeks into months. like We think it's over. We feel it's over.
00:41:58
Speaker
but we're We're like still processing the end. Right. But we're feeling the new beginning at the same time. And so we're caught between two skins right now, really.
00:42:09
Speaker
And that's uncomfortable. ah dania danny no i i just sarah i just want you to know that i feel so validated from what you just said maya i know i talk about maya because you know her and i haven't gone through it right now and jimmy and steve seem to be Stephen, so sorry. Having a grand old time over there.
00:42:36
Speaker
Yeah, they were like, was like, how's everyone doing that? Great. We're having a great retrograde. I think, you know, ah Sarah, isn't it true some retrogrades are easier than others for certain people depending on where they are?
00:42:48
Speaker
Absolutely. Depending on what's happening in your chart, like is it is there a planet in your chart that's aspecting that retrograde? right Is it hitting an angle? Is it hitting your midheaven or ascendant? Is it squaring or up opposing something in your chart? like this is this is where we This is where we get to see how the chart is its own animal.
00:43:08
Speaker
That's so interesting. yeah To add to what you're saying, even in my chart of relationships, I've been reassessing a lot of my relationships, my friendships, my personal relationships, and I am going back and forth. It is that kind of like, is done? Do I want to get rid of them? Do I want to hold on to them? What do I want to do with this?
00:43:25
Speaker
Is this growing? Is it not growing? Is it worth the time? Is it not worth the time? I've been tying up my business a little bit. I'm working on my website. I'm going to raise my rates. I'm going to be online a little bit more.
00:43:37
Speaker
I'm starting to I'm going to be teaching a little class one-on-one with some of my clients, you know, so trying new things. But yeah, to to add to what you're saying, I can feel that push-pull and trying to really decide, like, are people are these people healthy for me?
00:43:52
Speaker
Do I want to bring them into my future? Are they able to remain in my future as I'm changing and evolving? I'm getting extremely aggressive in my relationships. yeah Not extremely like, like you know, I'm not turning into my feet or anything like that.
00:44:06
Speaker
No, you're getting assertive. That's totally Aries is being assertive. I think that Venus and Mercury retrograde started in Aries. Mercury started at nine and then Venus stationed at 10 degrees, right? So both Venus and Mercury stationed at that solar eclipse degree. Do you see how this is so much with the eclipses and like the the retrograde stations?
00:44:25
Speaker
And then the ingresses and how it's all happening within that small area of the Zodiac.
Mercury and Venus Retrogrades
00:44:31
Speaker
But ultimately Venus and Mercury are going to go back into Pisces. So where, where we were assertive and had clarity, we're going to start feeling confused again as Venus and Mercury go back into Pisces. And then once they, so sow Mercury stationing April 7th and it looks like Venus is stationing according to my calendar.
00:44:48
Speaker
I see Venus stationing on the 12th. Venus is a 40 day retrograde cycle, by the way. It happens every 18 months. It's a 40 day cycle. um But every time Venus goes retrograde, look eight years ago, right? So eight years ago, Venus was retrograding through that same territory. It's the Venus star point cycle.
00:45:10
Speaker
It's like a 40 year cycle. So every eight years, Venus will retrograde in the same area. So whenever you're, you yeah. So every year and a half, Venus retrogrades, right? For ah six weeks, 40 days.
00:45:22
Speaker
and So whenever Venus retrogrades, I always think eight years ago, like what happened eight years ago at this time during the Venus retrograde. So that's something to contemplate.
00:45:33
Speaker
okay So then, um wow. Okay. So then we're, as Jimmy says too, retrogrades are a time of reflection. And Jimmy, you can kind of give a good example, like how you're reflecting on where Venus and Mercury is retrograding for your chart is.
00:45:47
Speaker
And as we kind of, you know, wind down here, I mean, we've got so much information. I love that people can probably take this episode, pull up their chart, really look into it, really get into it. But to kind of leave on some some hopeful notes here, as you mentioned, it venus will go i mean Mercury will station direct on the 7th, Venus on the 12th. I know there's kind of um probably lingering effects, but it sounds like soon we will feel like this reflection, confusion, stagnancy, crazy energy a little bit will mellow out or something else be coming our way?
00:46:22
Speaker
I mean, so you know Venus and Mercury are going to station, then they're going to move forward and leave Pisces. And then Everything's going to really start. The action's really going to start happening when Venus and Mercury go back into Aries and leave that retrograde arc.
00:46:35
Speaker
um And then the nodes are going to go deeper into Pisces and Virgo, but then Saturn is going to approach the end of Pisces and hit, it's not going to exactly form a conjunction with Neptune until next year, but it's going to be very close.
00:46:49
Speaker
Sarah, thank you so much. This was a lot of information to digest. I think hopefully people will have a little bit of ah clarity on where things might feel a little kind of jarring or a little confusing, or maybe it's a lot of fun.
00:47:05
Speaker
for some people. yeah And then we're coming up on this end of this hectic energy season. We'll move forward. I know we'll have you back on again ah to talk about talk about different aspects. But as we kind of close this out, Sarah, is there any kind of last thing you just want to tell people that are listening in terms of maybe something to keep in mind as we close out this eclipse season, retrograde season, um or something to be mindful of?
00:47:29
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, it's really fun. You know, this is like a, this is the time of year where spring fever kicks in. Right. And people kind of like come out more, um people go out more into the world and they socialize more.
00:47:41
Speaker
um and so, there's so much excitement to, I don't know, maybe people are feeling more motivated to, you know, take walks, go to the gym, like, you know, make plans to meet friends, do all this stuff to people. i ultimately, there's so much eagerness to take action and make things happen.
00:48:02
Speaker
i want to invite people to really enjoy the excitement of movement and to bring in patience and trust that, the process will get you where you want to be and the outcome will arrive at the exact time that it's meant to And I want to invite people to just enjoy the movement and trust that you'll get what you're going after at the right time and to not force it or be impatient because all this Aries energy will bring that, that impatience. And you don't want that impatience to ruin the fun of the movement and the action that's happening. So
00:48:38
Speaker
Enjoy the action and trust the process. Sounds kind of cliche and corny, but I mean it. but but No, I think it's good. I think Danny and I will ah go work on that patience right about next. So easy for us.
00:48:53
Speaker
We were talking about that last statement. Stephen and I will try not to be so dreamy.
00:49:02
Speaker
dream fantasy the dream you deserve it let's keep living the dream man i'll sober you up don't worry can i ask one question yeah how do you know um if you're kind of rushing and being impatient like if you have an opportunity how do you know like you're not just acting on a frenetic energy versus waiting what's right for you if that makes sense Oh, one way I check in.
00:49:31
Speaker
Sorry, sorry, sorry. No, no, you're okay. One way I check in is like, does it open the chest or does it constrict the chest? You know, like sometimes I check in on the physical body, like, oh, is my chest opening or is it constricting?
00:49:45
Speaker
Because your body is very intuitive and intelligent. It'll tell you if you listen and you ask. I hope that answers. Damn. Okay. Yeah.
00:49:58
Speaker
I was not expecting that. Well, I wanted to add to Sarah too. Just remember the potential, you know, astrology is the blueprint of who we are and what we can bring into reality and what we can manifest, but it's the potential of what you can create with it.
00:50:14
Speaker
So it's attitude. It's, you know, it's what you want to do with it. Use it as knowledge instead of fearing it. You know, all three of us, four of us, five of us sat here and scared to death of our transits.
00:50:25
Speaker
And, you know, and it it doesn't have to be all doom and gloom and scary, but it's about the potential, the potential for growth. And that's what we want. Yeah.
00:50:36
Speaker
Yeah. And that's why I appreciate Sarah's approach because I feel like as an astrologer, you're very much, you'll give us truth as needed, but also letting us not make our decisions and not act out of fear and go, okay, how can we use our chart to empower us as Jimmy is saying? So that was a great, beautiful last, um actually, Dani, that was a good closing question. So thank you for that. yeah I think- and People listening hopefully got a lot of insights. And again, we're excited to have you back on, Sarah. Thank you so much for all the knowledge you share with the world.
Conclusion and Future Outlook
