Astrology FUN! February 13, 2020 - Mercury Staging for Retrograde Feb 13, 2020

Show notes

This is a special day - my daughter's birthday!! The chart for today is almost a mirror of yesterday, so let's focus today on Mercury in Pisces - slowing down and getting ready to go retrograde Sunday evening. There are a few points to take not of and if you want to get communications-related things off your plate before the retrograde begins, there are only a couple days to do so.

Feb 13 Transcription

[00:00:00] Welcome in to the February 13th fun astrology podcast. This is the first one of these that I've done on this date because the podcast started in March of last year, I believe, and this is a special day. It's my daughter's birthday, so yay. She's doing great. She is knocking the cover off the ball.

[00:00:25] She is in her mid twenties and just doing amazingly well. But this is why I say is that I understand the Aquarian perspective. My daughter is an Aquarian. My mom, whose birthday was just recently, she is now in spirit, but she was an Aquarian and her sister was born six years later on the same day. Also, Aquarian.

[00:00:46] So it's funny, with all of that Aquarian energy and you know, it's, if, if you don't get complete with something in your life, the universe always gives you plenty of opportunities to do so. So there's this thing in astrology called , it's an astrological word, and it's where you trace the ruler of a sign back to basically its ruling position, or as close as you can get.

[00:01:13] What does that mean? Well, it's kinda like this and it gets confusing, but right now the sun is in Aquarius. All right? The ancient ruler of Aquarius is in his, his Saturn, and Saturn is in Capricorn. So Saturn is home. So we would say that. Capricorn is the dispositor of the sun in Aquarius. Does that make sense?

[00:01:36] If it doesn't, there's plenty of information. If you Google disposit or dis positories, then you can read up on it. But I was doing this for my Gianna's chart and do you know that every one of her planets dispositive back to Aquarius? So what that tells you is that there is [00:02:00] an Aquarian overtone to the person's life.

[00:02:03] So with all that Aquarian energy, if there was something I didn't get complete with it, I sure have the opportunity now because Magena when we kind of laugh about it now, it's like, Oh, you're going to your Aquarian side. But that's an interesting study to do in your own chart is to, see what kind of other.

[00:02:21] Overlay energies you might have going on. It's an interesting study. All right. I'll tell you what, this is going to be quick because most of today's chart looks exactly like yesterday, so I don't want to repeat the same thing. And don't please give me a one star review on iTunes. I'm not going to repeat the same podcasts and you guys are so amazing.

[00:02:45] Thank you again for just taking care of that little issue. We are right back where we were and I really appreciate all of you who chimed in. And if you, like the show, leave us a five star review on iTunes. We're trying to climb the ladder under the astrology search over there. And you know, if you don't like what we're doing, just a.

[00:03:03] Please drop me an email to info at funastrology.com and let's talk about it. Because as I mentioned with that other situation, there might be a really probably pretty good reason underlying it that you might not understand why I'm doing something. And if you have a great suggestion how we can improve around here, I'm all ears.

[00:03:22] Would love to hear it. And I would just request to use the energetic high road, you know, that positive side of the chart. And let's talk first. So yesterday's podcast really stands for today. I think we covered it pretty comprehensively. The one thing that I would tee up is that we need to be now focusing on mercury retrograde, which begins Sunday evening at 7:53 PM Eastern time

Astrology FUN! February 12, 2020 - Grand Cross Wednesday! Feb 12, 2020

Show notes

We haven't had a Grand Cross in the chart for some time that I can remember, so we'll talk about this one with the Moon, the Nodes of the Moon, Chiron and Venus! This one is power-loaded with dealing with our soul's past....the theme of 2019 & 2020 under Saturn/Pluto! Also, we'll talk about the Aries/Libra axis because that's important, too!

Feb 12 Transcription

[00:00:00] And welcome in to grand cross Wednesday. Otherwise known as hump day. Well, we are halfway through the week and we have for the first time in a long time a grand cross. So we've got a lot to talk about today. Bunch of aspects up in the sky overhead for February 12 hi, Thomas Miller. Thanks for joining us.

[00:00:25] Let's get started. I don't know when the last time a grand cross appeared, but we have one today and it involves the nodes of the moon. What is a grand cross? And since we haven't talked about one in a while, it's when there are simply four points in the chart that are joined by squares. Now that would, I mean, if you're thinking ahead of me here a little bit, you would think, well, that means some tense aspect in the chart.

[00:00:55] Yes, that would be right. Because you kind of have this, think of it like a frame in the chart, if you will, of tense aspects. Now, what's interesting about this one is it is caused mostly by the moon and the nodes. So the moon is still in Libra. It moved in there last night at six 30 Eastern time. It is in Libra all through today, all through tomorrow.

[00:01:22] It leaves and goes into Scorpio at 7:37 PM tomorrow night. Those are both Eastern times. Okay. So as we're looking at the moon's position in Libra, mid morning, early morning this morning, I'm looking at a about eight o'clock Eastern time. It's at eight degrees Libra. The nodes, the North and South nodes of the moon are at seven degrees.

[00:01:49] Capricorn and cancer. So there's a square, right? Because let's think about it. Let's go in. So dial order from cancer where the North node is. What's [00:02:00] next little quiz here. Little astrology quiz, cancer, Leo, right? What's after Leo? Virgo, and then Libra. So see, there's three, one, two, three, three, six, nine 90 degrees, and coming around the other way from Libra.

[00:02:15] Next Scorpio, Sagittarius. Capricorn. See there's your one, two, three. I always do these reports with my chart and whole sign because we don't talk about houses. Why? Because the houses change so often about every couple of two, two and a half hours through the day. So you know that I'm looking at a moon in the ninth house.

[00:02:36] Only applies for a very short window of the day, and you might be listening to this all through the day. So I don't focus on the houses, but I do keep my chart in whole signs simply because it's so much easier to see these aspects and how one relates to the other. So I can very easily see the access line.

[00:02:56] North node, South node one, two, three houses. There's the moon. It's what's on the other side of this grand cross that is interesting. Chi, Ron and Venus are basically conjunct in Aries. Chiron is at three degrees. Venus is at five degrees, so the moon is opposite Chiron, Venus and Chiron, Venus square, North and South nodes of the moon.

[00:03:24] So there's your grand cross. So not only do you have four squares, so let's just. Put them all in order. Here. Moon is square. The South node, South. Notice square, Chiron and Venus Chiron and Venus is square. The North node, which is square the moon, but you have two oppositions always in a grand cross. So the North and South nodes of the moon are always opposite.

[00:03:49] But this time the sun is opposite. Chiron. Venus. Now there's a big theme in this grand cross North and South node [00:04:00] and Chiron folks we are dealing with our past today. I'm thinking, welcome to the future. It looks just like the pas

Astrology FUN! February 11, 2020 - Uranus Trine Mars & Moon Trine Saturn Pluto Feb 11, 2020

Show notes

Astrologers have been watching Uranus in Taurus, generally recalling the last time it was there in the 1930s when the US financial system was restructured following the Great Depression. Could we see another such restructuring of the world's financial system this transit? Well, Taurus and Uranus represent much more than money and with Mars now in an easy aspect, perhaps it's time to ask the Universe for a few things on your cosmic shopping list - i.e. love or money! Plus, we'll look at the lunar aspects today as well.

Feb 11 Transcription

[00:00:00] And welcome in. It's Tuesday and I have an answer to a trivia question here on the fun astrology podcast. If you caught yesterday's episode, you heard that I was kind of saying, watch right there at the end. I was saying, watch the moon. It's a trigger. What horse in Western lore was named trigger? I knew this for crying out loud.

[00:00:24] Just, you know, when you get up early in the morning and you're doing this and you're focusing on Saturn and Pluto instead of movie trivia, and you're trying to end the show because the music is playing. But a trigger was Roy Rogers Palomino, a made famous, obviously in many Western films, trigger was born a cancer on July 4th, 1934.

[00:00:52] And died almost exactly three 31 years later on July 3rd, 1965 I could think of worst gigs than coming back as Roy Rogers CoStar horse in an in another life. I think trigger had 31 great years. Well. Speaking of triggers, another aspect that has moved into position is a another one from Mars. Now remember, Mars was in the big square, the transit long square as Venus was in Pisces.

[00:01:28] Now it is an Aries. Mars is now in a trine with Uranus. Ooh. Okay. Now we've been sitting here kind of watching since Uranus first moved into Taurus. That happened in March. It was March 6th of 2019. Uh, when Uranus moved into Taurus, it's been their sense, although for a nice swath of the last part of last year, [00:02:00] it was in retrograde.

[00:02:02] But w, you know, just astrologers, I think have been sitting there observing what that might play out to be. It's going to be a seven year transit. So Uranus in Taurus goes for a long time. But it's always pointed out that the last time that Uranus was in Taurus was back in the 1930s speaking of trigger about the time trigger was born.

[00:02:24] Actually, uh, was that post depression, new deal, FDR, a restructuring of the U S financial system. One of the most significant things to me is it brought in the federal reserve. Now, Taurus is ruled by Venus, and that can also obviously affect relationships. The structure of love, it could bring you love, it could bring you unexpected love.

[00:02:53] It could bring you unexpected money. It could take away unexpected money. It could take away a love. You know, there's just all kinds of ways that you can wrap this Uranus thing around. But if you look at the characteristics of unique out of the blue. Unexpected, et cetera. Change. Put that in the tourist characteristics.

[00:03:14] So home earth, digging your toes in your garden. You know, like I say, a Taurus in his garden, Dow shout not part. Some of you Taurus's are laughing right there. Yeah. shaking your head. But tourists love the earth. They love to be at home. They love that structure. And every tourists out there. Yes. Uranus is transiting your sun sign.

[00:03:37] Well during this season of this trine with Mars, I would say, uh, the, basically, the thing that I would expect there is that you can amp up maybe some of those changes and make them . So that trine is obviously a favorable or easy aspect, so there's no tension in it. So say [00:04:00] universe, send me some money.

[00:04:02] Money, money, money, money, money. Universe. Send me some love, love, love, love. See, you've got this echo in the vocal booth that I haven't d

Astrology FUN! February 10, 2020 - Moon "Triggers" Today - Career Grand Trine in the AM! Feb 10, 2020

Show notes

There are a lot of aspects today from the Moon including a juicy Grand Trine with the Moon, Uranus and the Midheaven. But it happens at a specific time - around 10:00 am this morning, so if you have a career action you could take today...use this Grand Trine to initiate it! Plus, we'll look at several other triggers the moon could fire off today, including Neptune, Mercury, Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter and the South Node! Wowzer...what a way to start the week!

Feb 10 Transcription

[00:00:00] And welcome in to a new week, Monday, February 10th this is going to be a not a significant week. Have you been noticing just little things with your technology yet? See, mercury is not retrograde, but it's in what they call the shadow period, so it's, it's slowing down and we'll talk more about that even as the week goes on, especially next weekend as mercury turns retrograde officially on the 16th.

[00:00:28] The dates on that, if you would like to edge them into your mind will be February 16th 12 degrees Pisces, and mercury is going to tip back into Aquarius because it turns direct on March 9th at 28 degrees. Aquarius. But yeah, I've just just have been observing and I'm like, things that hadn't been happening is kind of start happening again.

[00:00:52] So that's one of the big themes of the week is mercury progressively moving its way more toward a retrograde on next Sunday. Now there's a really interesting and subtle, and for you early bird listeners, you get the worm on this one. Because there's a, a, a grand trine with the moon, which now is in Virgo, moved into Virgo last night.

[00:01:16] So there's a grand trine with the moon in Virgo. Uranus in Taurus. And now this is, I'm going to stretch a little bit here. So we have three things at play. You can take this for what you want. Um, the little, yeah, this one's just a little bit dicey, but in Capricorn. Okay. In Capricorn, the closest of the grand trine aspects is with the South node.

[00:01:44] But I'm going to go out on the limb here and catch everything here in the optimum time on this. Grand trine is going to be right around 10 o'clock Eastern us time because the Midheaven moves into [00:02:00] Capricorn and is within the aspect of the moon. It's wide. It's wide. I'm going to admit it's wide. But when you have the, now this is kind of like what we had the other day when I said, send your resume.

[00:02:12] I think that was on Saturday. This could be a followup to that may be moon in Virgo. There's the whole work connection and there's Capricorn of solid foundations and doing a really good job. And also the South node. And here's the other one, and again, this is wide, interpret it how you will, but Jupiter is sitting there at 15 degrees and at this particular optimum spot that I'm talking about of around around 10 o'clock Eastern time, the moon is six degrees away from Jupiter.

[00:02:48] If you call that an orb, then you've got you got it. My little software says yes. So a, there you go. It's designed by some of the best. So what I would suggest is if you are looking for something work related, career related, if there is anything career related you need to do, this would be a really good time to do it.

[00:03:11] Send an email, make a phone call, push out a resume, put an application online. If you are searching for a job, do all of the things, think of your mind spinning around, whatever you would do a career wise, this would be a really good time to do it. And it's a really narrow window because, and I'm not going to get into the path of the Midheaven, but the Midheaven moves through the day really, really fast.

[00:03:36] So this only just bumps in and bumps out for a wee little bit on the Midheaven piece. Now, the Jupiter moon Uranus piece goes until about noon Eastern time. So if we take Uranus moon, Jupiter, South node, that is from the time t

Astrology FUN! February 9, 2020 - Full Moon in Leo - Fire in the House! Feb 08, 2020

Show notes

There is a full moon at 2:33 am eastern time February 9, so this episode is being released Saturday night for those of you who might want to use the evening before to do some powerful creating. I also compare this configuration to an interesting one that was in the sky during one of the presidential candidate's public campaign announcement. There are some things we could learn and deploy.

Feb 9 Transcription

[00:00:00] Hey, welcome man to the full moon out February 9th in Leo. So we could say top of it. Thomas Miller and I am, uh, so this is for Sunday, February 9th. But because this full moon happens at 2:30 in the morning Eastern time, I'm going to release this. On Saturday evening, so that if, so those of you who are, stay up late hours might want to catch it.

Those of you on the West coast, this will happen before you go to bed. This is all us time stuff, of course. And those of you insomniacs who just wake up in the middle of the night and want something to do, you might start doing your full moon routine. So let's talk about this full moon at 20 degrees.

Leo, this is kind of an interesting thing, and it made me think of something that I saw this week in the astrological [00:01:00] conversations online about inception points in the chart. One of the foundational things about astrology is that everything has a birth time. Whether that's you or whether that's an event, a business, a marriage, and I think that we don't put enough value on inceptions, but that's how astrology works, that everything is based on the time that something is born.

And what's super unique about this full moon. Is that it is in Leo fire sign and all about making a statement in the world. So with the sun, obviously opposite in Aquarius and the moon in Leo, and the only real aspect that this full moon has is a trine favorable aspect with Mars. And Mars is still in Sagittarius.

Now there's no other side of this that we can pull. Like [00:02:00] Mars is not in a trine with something, so we don't get a grand trine and the moon is not trying with something else over on the other side of the chart. So we're dealing with a couple of fire signs. At least we have what we have the moon in Leo fire and Mars in Sagittarius fire.

So I think this is just a great weekend to create around that putting herself out there. So the social piece comes from the sun in Aquarius. The putting yourself out there comes from the moon in Leo and the extra oomph and. Good luck comes from Mars in Sagittarius, which of course is ruled by Jupiter, which is in the sandbox in timeout and Capricorn, but at least it rules Sagittarius.

So, Hey, let's take what we can get right now. What caught my fancy in the astrological conversations this week [00:03:00] was the announcement of the presidential campaign for mayor Pete budaj. Now look, number one, rule number one on this podcast, no politics. We all, Republicans, Democrats, independence. If you are in another country listening to this and don't even relate to what that is, uh, we are all under the same sky, right?

And it affects all of us. And that's why I just stay politically neutral. Why I'm using this is the unfolding events since this occurrence and it's in the profile. So it's something that we all can look at and relate to. Okay, fair enough. There is no, I mean, zero political inference or reference associated with this.

Okay, so let's call him mayor Pete, like he likes to be called, announced his presidential campaign in South bend, Indiana on April 14th, 2019. And I have not looked at all, and I don't even know if it would be [00:04:00] disclosed if he follows or uses astrology. But boy, I'll tell you what if he doesn't, he dumb lucked his way into this one because, uh, I mean, for a road scholar, this was pretty good, let's say.

So, the sun on that day was an Aries fire. And it was trying to Jupiter in

We are truly living in a time when the world needs love, and we have an interesting sextile between Neptune & Venus in Pisces and Saturn/Pluto in Capricorn...although it is offset by the Mars square. We'll talk about that + I have a special request for those of you who enjoy what we're doing here - that's at the end. And...thank you!

TRANSCRIPT:

And welcome in to the Tuesday edition of the fun astrology podcast. Thomas Miller with you. Thanks for joining us. Hope your moon in Gemini today is going well. Let's talk about astrology, and then at the end I have a special request, especially for those of you who are enjoying the work that we are doing.

I'd like to ask for you of you a very. Big favor and a little exchange in value. If you would take just a couple of minutes, I would really appreciate it, but we'll talk about that after we talk about what's going on in the chart. So the moon today is in Gemini - right about in the middle, starting out, near 15 degrees.

And with that it's throwing a really nice trying to the sun and Aquarius at 15 degrees. You know, there's a lot that's said about a moon sun trine, but one of the things that is especially of note is an extra [00:01:00] grounding feed on the ground. Good solid balance of that radiant energy and that reflective energy.

So that will be with us all day today. Now somebody on iTunes, uh, on the reviews had made a comment that they would like to see more how this applies to other areas of the chart. And we could talk about the moon being a mutable sign in Gemini. Uh, that this also might affect Virgos or Sagittarius, or Pisces, or then we would also have to talk about Aquarius being a fixed sign and that it might affect you if you are a Scorpio, Leo or Taurus.

But you see why I don't do that? Because there's a really thin line in astrology between understanding something and just getting something you can use. And glossing your little eyes over because that's too much. And also I try to keep these shorts. It's like [00:02:00] if a, I will try to expand. These may be just a little bit, but not so much that it's going to make your eyes gloss over or scale over because that's not the intention of this.

And I think when astrologers get talking to Astro speak, don't we all gloss over? I mean, unless you have a chart in front of you right now. Then this is hard to put together in words. So anyway, that's one of the a, that's one of the main aspects. The moon is also throwing a square to Neptune today. And that's a real good segue of the other little aspect that I wanted to talk about.

So Neptune is in Pisces now. Neptune takes 164 years to move around the chart. So when was the last time that Neptune was in Pisces? We've, we've talked so much about Pluto, basically. Uh, and it's transit. Back to Capricorn, which takes 248 years. Well, we've got another S. the next slowest mover is [00:03:00] Neptune, and it takes 164 years.

So it being in Pisces is a rarity. Now it's sitting at 17 degrees. So again, it's almost halfway through. So we're going to be talking about Neptune and Pisces for quite some time, but it right now, along with Venus. Has a sextile aspect to Saturn, Pluto. Okay, here are the numbers. Pluto in Capricorn 23 degrees, Saturn in Capricorn, 25 degrees.

Okay, let's shift over to Pisces. Neptune is at 17 so you can see that's just barely still clipping Saturn, but it is definitely within the bandwidth of Pluto. Venus is at 26 degrees in Pisces. Now, Venus moves quickly, but at 26 degrees, that's basically a dead on sextile to Saturn at 25 I mean, that's a one [00:04:00] degree orb, and it still catches Pluto at 23 three degrees.

So this is a big deal with Neptune and Venus in Pisces, sextiling Saturn and Pluto. Now, the duality of this, the polarity, if you will, is that Mars is still square to both of these guys. So there's been that Mars pull on this thing that we'v
