  • Galactic Center Thoughts part XXVI

    Galactic Center Thoughts part XXVI

    Lately I’ve been firing on (all) galactic cylinders due to a conversation that I got to have with an astrophysicist who reached out to me. They came across my research and were curious about my findings…so we set up some time to have a conversation. They got my mind going, I got their mind going….it was like a mind buzzing fest 🤣. They got me thinking about things with the Galactic Center a little differently than I have in the past. One of these ways is by considering the Galactic Center in an astrology chart by House placement alone (more can be read about that here). While I always figured that House placement was important, my research up until this point has been focused on planetary conjunctions to the Galactic Center (and other galactic points). While the research has not stopped on planetary conjunctions to the Galactic Center (and other galactic points), a new addition to the research has been birthed from this conversation.  

    Falling into the Galactic Center

    **Real quick! If you would like to be a part of the research, please send an email to ellie@saturnseason.com and I’ll hook you up with the questionnaire. If you would like me to read your astrology chart for you (about the galactic stuff or otherwise), that can be done by clicking on this text. If you are more of a watcher than a reader, click this text to watch a video about this same stuff.**

    Oh! But there is more. I have found over the course of this research that certain keywords/archetypes seem to fit for the Galactic Center. Archetypes like spiritualized, distorted, fragmented, warped, mutated, transformed, extreme, intense….and some other Uranian/Neptunian/Plutonian expressions (the GC is VERY aligned with the outer planets and seems to share several of their keywords). The GC also seems to have an affinity for retrograde motion – planets conjunct the GC (regardless of being direct or not) seem to function LIKE a retrograde planet. Now, the astrophysicist has added another possible keyword to the Galactic Center toolbox:

    Me: “What may be the consciousness (archetype) of a black hole be if one were to try to assign understanding to it.” 
    Astrophysicist: “I think I know what the answer is.”
    Me: “What?”
    Astrophysicist: “It seems obvious, but it’s     HIDDEN.”
    (Me staring at them…begging them with my eyes to continue)
    Astrophysicist: “So… from the outside you cannot know, but once you’re in, you have the ultimate truth. It’s the same thing to do with ALL of these things (the galactic points) indicate – the higher self.”

    You have no idea HOW MUCH OF A DUMBSHIT I felt after hearing the keyword “hidden” come from them (but I felt like a dumbshit in the best possible way). In ALL OF THE YEARS that I’ve researched the Galactic Center I don’t remember EVER assigning this as an archetype for the GC. In retrospect it feels really fucking stupid that I never have. I mean, black holes ARE hidden – they are literally black in space (which is also dark) and can’t be seen unless you’re looking through special telescopes. Their gravitational pull is so intense that not even light can escape them. So…while I KNOW that this is a quality of black holes (and the Galactic Center), it was never a quality (or archetype) that I attributed TO the Galactic Center. For the past week or so, I have been meditating and thinking about the notion of HIDDEN being a keyword for the GC. Like, wtf does that even mean 😂?! This is a major part of the new phase of the research – trying to figure out WHAT exactly “hidden” means in the context of the Galactic Center. There are a few possibilities that come to mind when I think about this:


    -Only YOU see these areas of life. Other people don’t seem to notice them about you or you don’t get noticed in those house areas of life (either at all or the way that you would like to be noticed)
    -These house areas of life can only be accessed by going inward (not able to be accessed through the external world)
    -These areas of life feel like they may actually BE somewhat hidden or obscured from you

    This new phase of the research focuses specifically on the Galactic Center by House placement, but the notion of the GC being “hidden” could (and SHOULD!) also be applied to planets conjunct the Galactic Center. Since the Galactic Center is always in Sagittarius (until it moves into Capricorn in, like 300 years or whatever), this feels like a hidden understanding of something (since one of the ways that Sagittarius energy functions is through understanding things and assimilating information from things). It really depends on the WHOLE chart as to how this actually plays out for the native, but I could see it going a few different ways (or maybe ALL of these ways at different points in the person’s life):

    Example: Native has the GC in the 11th House (no planets conjunct). The person may feel like their influence (11th House) is hidden in some way – either they are “hiding” it from themselves (or hiding from the influence they have), or maybe other people don’t see the influence the native has. It might also be that it’s not until the person goes inward that the influence (and other 11th House areas of life) they have is seen by the native and by other people. 
    **This same sort of idea above could also be applied to planets conjunct the Galactic Center and WHAT the planet wants to express/needs to express being hidden in some way from the native (or to anyone outside of the native).

    The astrophysicist and I also did some talking about the notion of the higher self in relationship with the Galactic Center. Now, somewhat early on in the research I started thinking that the Galactic Center (and some of the other galactic points) were a way for a person to tap into their higher self (maybe not the only way, but definitely A WAY to do this…a telephone line to it). With their comment about going inward with the Galactic Center to tap into the higher self (and there was much more to this conversation than the part that I copied to this post) makes me think EVEN MORE that I am on a right track with this. How does this translate to the idea of the GC being “hidden” in some way (or there being something hidden about it)? Maybe the native isn’t able to reach their higher self (all of the way) until the native goes inward by the house areas of life of where the GC falls. Same thing could be said about any planets conjunct the GC. Going inward is ALSO what retrograde planets do (what they need to do to function), so this tracks from what I’ve already ascertained from the research thus far; that the Galactic Center has an affinity for retrograde motion. All of this, getting in touch with the higher self via different galactic points, is also (probably) an ever-evolving process, across time and space….across a person’s WHOLE lifetime.  

  • Galactic Center Thoughts XXV

    Galactic Center Thoughts XXV

    Over the 5 plus years that I have been researching the Galactic Center (and other galactic points), my focus has been primarily on planets conjunct the Galactic Center (and friends). What happens to planets conjunct the Galactic Center, etc. and what that means for the planet (and the person). What I haven’t focused on (as much) is the Galactic Center by House placement…and the impact that the GC has on the house in which it falls in an astrology chart. To be honest, in retrospect, it feels a little stupid of me to have seemingly neglected this piece of the research. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I KNOW WHY I have been so focused on conjunctions to the Galactic Center (and friends). If a person has a planet, angle, etc. conjunct the GC, etc., it makes sense that the planet, angle, etc. would be “mutated” (or other GC keywords) by the GC…which makes the planet part of this equation an important one to focus on. I’m not shifting the focus of my research (conjunctions to the GC ARE important!), but I want to begin integrating this other phase of the research to what I already have going on. 

    Me: “This also brings me to another question, and I realize that you don’t do what I do so you might not be able to answer this, but I’ll ask you and you tell me what you think… intuitively if it makes sense. Okay, so my focus has been primarily on conjunctions to these things (the Galactic Center, etc.), but I also have, you know, I haven’t focused as much on people (research) that don’t have anything conjunct the Galactic Center. You know, there are a lot of people that don’t have anything conjunct the GC, they just have the GC, like, in their Third House or something. Like, they just have it there. I haven’t focused as much on that, but I’ve always had a feeling that it probably intensified that house’s areas of life?” 

    Answerer: “I think it must.”

    What got my mind moving in this seemingly obvious direction? Someone found me through my Galactic Center research that is an astrophysicist…and is EXACTLY WHO I have been seeking out to speak with for years (without realizing that I was looking for them specifically 🤣). A very small piece of a conversation we had is above; I’m the one asking the question and they are the answerer. For privacy reasons I won’t be revealing who they are but trust me when I say they know their shit. And they have given me SO MUCH to think about (this particular piece feels very mutual 🤣 it seems like I get their mind buzzing as much as they get mine buzzing).

    Hypothesis (look at me being inspired to cosplay scientist 🤣): The Galactic Center in an astrology chart plays a huge role in the chart even if there happens to be no planets, angles, asteroids, etc. conjunct the GC in the chart. This translates down to the house that the GC falls, and this house’s “areas of life” may hold a lot of “weight” for the native.

    **Real quick! If you would like to be a part of the research, please send an email to ellie@saturnseason.comand I’ll hook you up with the questionnaire. If you would like me to read your astrology chart for you (about the galactic stuff or otherwise), that can be done by clicking on this text.  And! If you are more of a watcher than a reader, here is a YouTube video on the same sort of stuff ^_^
     
    Words like “extreme,” “intense,” “spiritual,” “distorted,”  “highly-charged,” “mutation,” and “fragmentation” are some of the first words that come to mind when I think about the Galactic Center. If I were to assign the GC “keywords” (or it’s own “consciousness”) to explain what it does….which, over the years, is exactly what I have done…these are the words I would choose. Through the research these particular keywords seem to fit for people when they consider the impact that the Galactic Center has on planets, etc. that happen to be conjunct it in their charts. Now I’m wondering if the same thing could be said about the Galactic Center’s effect on the house that it falls in the natal chart (regardless if there happens to be a planet conjunct the GC or not). 
    **You might notice that the keywords I have given the GC over the years have ties to Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. This is because I do feel  (and have always felt) like the GC has ties to the outer planets….almost like it encompasses ALL of their qualities in different ways and at different times. 

    For instance, let’s say someone has the Galactic Center in their Third House with no planets conjunct it. My thought (going with this train of thought) is that the GC being in the Third House will impact the “areas of life” which the house represents…JUST because the GC is in that house. In this example, it could cause there to be some distortion/spiritualized/intense/extreme/highly charged/mutated/fragmented regarding the person’s communication, their thoughts, their perception of things, and other Third House areas of life. This could also translate to the person have some kind of difference (or mutation) to their learning which could present as a learning difference of some kind. Difference in this context could be anything from being “gifted” to “disabled” which is why I use the term “learning difference”). The possibilities are endless…and this is exactly what I am wanting to figure out.

    Since the bulk of this particular piece of the research hinges on the house that the Galactic Center falls, everyone should probably be aware of WHAT (or areas of life) that the houses represent. They are as follows:
    *First House – sense of self, knee jerk reactions to the world, the vibe of the person
    *Second House – resources/money, values/self-value, security, stability, survival, where we are comfortable (or not!)
    *Third House – communication, basic learning (school), thinking, area that is local to you, logic & reason
    *Fourth House – home, family, private spheres of life, the deeply conscious
    *Fifth House – creative self-expression, risk taking (or not), leisure/hobbies, lighter side of sex and dating, where we create (this can include children)
    *Sixth House – work/work environment, daily routines/habits, health of the body & mind, real world, unequal relationships
    *Seventh House – relationships/partnerships of ALL varieties, legal contracts, balance (or lack thereof)
    *Eighth House – other people’s money/resources/values (or those that are shared), deep soul merging between two people, insecurity, instability, discomfort, inheritance (tangible & intangible), the bridge between the conscious & unconscious
    *Ninth House – understanding & assimilating information, higher learning (university, etc.), areas that are NOT local, abstract thinking, beliefs of all kinds
    *Tenth House – public spheres of life, career, reputation, goals & ambitions (or lack thereof)
    *Eleventh House – long term goals, hopes & wishes, influence, (career) legacy, what we share with other people, friends/groups/social & humanitarian causes
    *Twelfth House – health of the mind & spirit, release (what this house wants most of all), the unconscious/unseen, imprisonment (of all kinds), escape, spirituality
    **This above is in no means a complete list, lol, but it gives you an idea for the purposes of this blog post and if you know nothing about astrology and want to partake in the research**
    ….and as a side note, if you want to REALLY LEARN how to read an astrology chart, check out the Star Cards. 

    Now, the astrophysicist has added another possible keyword to the Galactic Center:
    Me: “What may be the consciousness (archetype) of a black hole be if one were to try to assign understanding to it.” 
    Answerer: “I think I know what the answer is.”
    Me: “What?”
    Answerer: “It seems obvious, but it’s HIDDEN.”
    (Me staring at them…begging them with my eyes to continue)
    Answerer: “So… from the outside you cannot know, but once you’re in, you have the ultimate truth. It’s the same thing to do with ALL of these things (the galactic points) indicate – the higher self.”

    You have no idea HOW MUCH OF A DUMBSHIT I felt after hearing the keyword “hidden” come from them (but I felt like a dumbshit in the best possible way). In ALL OF THE YEARS that I’ve researched the Galactic Center I don’t remember EVER assigning this as an archetype. In retrospect it feels really fucking stupid that I never have. I mean, black holes ARE hidden – they are literally black in space and can’t be seen. Their gravitational pull is so intense that not even light can escape them. So this begs the next part of my thought process – could there be things about the house in which the GC falls that are HIDDEN to the native? And if any planets DO happen to be conjunctions the GC, does that make things about that planet hidden to the person? There ARE SO MANY ways to think about this (which I will be doing for a while, probably).

    In the words of the astrophysicist: “These things are not going to NOT affect us.” 
    (These things that they are talking about are the galactic points)

  • The Astrology Surrounding the Disappearance of Amy Bradley

    Recently I did a YouTube video with Brandy on the Astrology Surrounding the Disappearance of Amy Bradley (make sure to like and subscribe 🤣!) on March 24, 1998 from the Rhapsody of the Seas cruise ship between Aruba & Curacao in the Caribbean. People left comments on the video wanting to see the other charts for her last time seen – in the video we only covered the astrology chart for the 3:40 am chart which was the last time she was recorded (via keycard) entering her hotel/cabin room. So…. I figured I’d do a blog post covering ALL of the charts (and explain our reasoning for NOT looking at the 5:20 am or 6:00 am charts). 
    Real quick though! If you would like for me to read your astrology chart, that can be done here. If there is crime chart (or missing person chart) you would like for me and Brandy to look at, shoot me an email at ellie@saturnseason.com.

    Backstory – Amy Bradley and her family were on a cruise vacation in March 1998, going from island to island in the Caribbean. The so-called “formal night” on the ship was March 23, 1998 (everyone getting dressed up for dinner and then partying late …. or that’s how I interpret the events of that night). Amy and her brother Brad were up late dancing and partying, not returning to their room until 3:35 am (Brad) and 3:40 am (Amy) on March 24th. The reason that THIS chart was focused on in the YouTube video is because THIS is the only chart with a “recorded” time (all the others are approximations). She and her brother are said to have gone out on the balcony for a while to talk and smoke cigarettes once they arrived back to the cabin. Sometime between 5:15 and 5:30 am (not timestamped) Amy’s father woke up and saw her sitting in a chair on the balcony (but only saw her hips and legs). He didn’t think anything of this and went back to sleep. Then, at 6:00 am, her father woke up and realized that Amy was no longer on the balcony, and she wasn’t in the room with the rest of the family, either. He started looking for her in the common areas of the ship, couldn’t find her, and woke up the other family members around 6:30 am to let them know that Amy was missing. This was reported to the ship’s security around 7:00 am – the family pushed to have an alert about her missing to go out over the ship’s PA system, but they refused to do it this early (felt it was too early to make an announcement and it could have been seen as intrusive to other guests). The ship was docking into Curacao around this time and people were starting to exit the ship for the day. It wasn’t until 12:15 that a search of the ship was conducted (to which they came back not finding Amy). FBI agents from a field office in St. Thomas weren’t able to board the ship for a day or so, and by then the family’s cabin room had been cleaned (causing any evidence of ANYTHING to be gone). She has never been found (though there were several supposed sightings in the late ‘90s and early 2000’s on different islands in the Caribbean). 

    There are several theories that people have about what happened to her:
    -She fell overboard sometime between 5:15 and 6:00 am after getting sick/needing to puke after a night of partying
    -She committed suicide
    -She vanished on her own volution
    -She was locked out on purpose and tried to climb over the railing to a neighboring cabin balcony 
    -She was abducted and sold into something like sex-slaveryOriginally when I saw the episode on her case about 15 years ago on Disappeared (lol in the YouTube video I said the episode was on Forensic Files – it wasn’t 😅) I thought “oh, she jumped or fell overboard.” But….looking at these charts, neither Brandy or myself felt that this was an accident OR a suicide. 
    **Yes, Uranus is in the 1st House of the chart below (which can point towards something accidental happening), but in the case of this chart and the contacts that Uranus is making with other planets, it seems to us that there were other people than JUST Amy involved in her disappearance. 
    ***I’m not going to recount EVERYTHING about the 3:40 am chart in the blogpost below (please DO watch the video because we go into more detail about THIS chart than I will do here). What I say about this chart in the post will be the quick and dirty version.

    Amy Bradley recorded entering her room at 3:40 am

    In the chart above, we have the Ascendant in Aquarius, and the chart rulers are Saturn (by traditional rulership) in Aries in the 3rd House and Uranus (by modern rulership) in Aquarius in the 1st House conjunct the Ascendant. All of these are representative of Amy at 3:40 am on March 24, 1998, along with the Moon (in Aquarius in the 1st House conjunct the Ascendant and Uranus) which is always co-ruler of an event chart like this. This shows Amy in an environment that was comfortable to her/her “territory” (Moon and one of the chart rulers in the 1st House). This also shows her “on the move” with Saturn in the 3rd House in Aries (though, Saturn is not “well placed” in Aries…where it is in fall). This makes sense because she was “on the move” coming back to her cabin on the boat. On the other end of things, we have the 7th House in Leo with the Sun in Aries (exalted, which means it’s “exaggerated” or “strong”) in the 2nd House applying in a conjunction with Saturn. I mention the 7th House because this is where you look for the perpetrator (if there is one) along with things like the catalyst and/or cause of the death or disappearance. The Sun makes an applying conjunction with Saturn AND an applying sextile with BOTH Uranus and the Moon – THIS is what tells Brandy and me that this wasn’t a suicide and there WAS some other involvement by someone else. Oftentimes in suicide cases you won’t see any aspects between the rulers of the 1st and 7th Houses. The 7th House ruler in the 2nd House can oftentimes point towards a “robbery” or even an abduction – something was taken from the person (or the person was taken). This tells us that the other person/people involved in this were not “helping” her to leave of her own free will. 
    -There is also the concept of “interference” in this chart. The Sun is in an applying conjunction with Saturn, but Mars and Mercury are between them…so the exact conjunctions between the Sun and Mars, and the Sun and Mercury, will happen before the conjunction between the Sun and Saturn. The exact trine between the Sun and Pluto in Sagittarius in the 10th House would also happen before the Sun’s exactitude with Saturn. This makes us think that there were probably other people beyond one perpetrator involved in all of this – almost like she was passed from person to person OR there were many people involved in her disappearance (as the ball was rolling). 
    –These “interference” planets ALL have ties to sex in this chart. Mars can absolutely be something sexual expressed. Mercury, while not normally a sex planet, IS the ruler of the 5th and 8th Houses in this chart (both are houses that deal with sex in some capacity). Pluto is another planet that ties in with sex (and violence in a chart like this). This kind of made Brandy and I go “huh? Maybe there IS something to the sex trafficking angle?” 
    —Another thing about Pluto here – it is the modern ruler of the Scorpio 10th House. In a chart like this, the 10thHouse can be the perpetrators territory/home. The 10th House can also point towards the way law enforcement/authority responds to the case. With BOTH rulers of the 10th House, Pluto and Mars, being involved in this concept of “interference,” it does make me think that AT THE VERY LEAST the security on the ship and the ship’s response to her going missing played a role in her getting (taken) away. At the worst, they had some kind of hand IN her disappearance (not saying that is actually WHAT happened, but it wouldn’t surprise me in the context of this chart). 

    Amy Bradley last seen by her dad on the balcony at 5:20 am

    The chart above is for 5:20 am. I chose this time because different sources say her dad saw her on the balcony at 5:15 am, some say 5:30 am – I was trying to split the difference. We didn’t look at this chart in the YouTube video because the time was captured by someone who had been asleep (and no offense, but people don’t always catch the right ANYTHING when they are half-awake and half asleep). By this point (following the rulers from the previous chart), we have the rulers of the Ascendant in the 2nd House (Saturn) and in the 12th House (Uranus). The Moon also finds itself in the 12th as well. The ruler of the 7th House from the previous, the Sun, is now in the 1st House (someone on Amy’s territory, perhaps?). I don’t think that she was TAKEN from her cabin room, but I DO think that someone may have met her there (like, outside the door…. essentially coming onto her turf). We also have the ruler of the Virgo 7th House in the 5:20 am chart, Mercury, conjunct Saturn within a few minutes (coming right to her, essentially). In the chart above, the Ascendant is Pisces, which makes Jupiter in the 1st in Pisces and Neptune in the 11th in Aquarius her dispositors. Jupiter in the 1st points to her being on her territory still, while there does seem to be some kind of “group involvement” with Neptune in the 11th House in Aquarius (both Aquarius and the 11th House deal with groups of people…among other things). 
    **Even though we have a lot of 12th House activity in this chart (which can be a death marker), this chart doesn’t feel particularly “death-y” to me…especially in regard to the 3:40 am chart (that didn’t feel “death-y” to either Brandy or myself). Nahhhh, this chart, the 5:20 am chart, feels more like “slipping away” into the unseen realm of the 12th House (but not to one’s death). It could also be an indicator of some form of imprisonment (which would unfortunately make sense with what Brandy and myself felt like probably happened to her).

    There is a theory that she may have been looking to score some drugs (and then was abducted). The theory goes something like this: Amy was looking to get a hold of some substance through someone who knew the area/someone local (this could also point towards what Saturn in Aries in the first chart was doing in the 3rd House (an area that is local to you/the notion of “locals”/etc.)). Honestly (and no judgement!) this wouldn’t surprise me in the least with both of these charts. In the 3:40 am chart you have Neptune (which can absolutely be intoxicants and shit like that) conjunct the Ascendant in the 12th House. In the 5:20 am chart you have a Pisces Ascendant (Pisces is modernly ruled by Neptune). I don’t know if Amy had any kind of history with drugs. Whether she did or didn’t doesn’t really matter here (people do all kind of things on vacation, even things they wouldn’t normally do). No shade or hate to her family, but she was on a FAMILY vacation in a very tight space (the cabin rooms were very small and all 4 of them were sharing one room). Maybe she wanted something to “take the edge off?” My wording there wasn’t on accident either – shortly before the trip Amy came out as a lesbian to her family. From what I understand, her family wasn’t particularly happy about it (though they made it clear that they still loved her). It seems very possible that she could have wanted to take the edge off, especially if there was any tension between family members from her recent sharing. 
    **At the VERY least, Neptune in the 12th House conjunct the Ascendant in the 3:40 am chart could point towards being intoxicated (and this being a contributing factor to what came next). Neptune also deals with “luring” and “being lured,” which also seems possible. Like, she was “lured” to go somewhere with someone else under some kind of false pretense. This *could* be echoed back with the Pisces Ascendant in the 5:20 am chart (and the 6:00 am chart below).

    Amy Bradley noticed missing at 6:00 am by her dad

    The chart above is set for 6:00 am, when Amy’s dad noticed that she was missing from the room. This chart is also interesting in the context of what was going on at the time (or what would later be found to be going on). Following the rulers from the 1st chart, we have Saturn AND the Sun in the 1st House (which could point towards Amy not being uncomfortable or on “familiar” territory) but the rulers ARE together. Uranus and the Moon (modern ruler of the 1st chart and co-ruler, respectively) are in the 11th House….pointing to some kind of group involvement (or she was in some kind of group, even if not directly away of it). At the VERY LEAST, this shows Amy in the presence of someone that she felt was a friend/that she was friendly with (11th House deals with both friendship and groups). From the rulership of the 6:00 am missing chart, we still have the Pisces Ascendant but by this point Jupiter (traditional ruler) has slipped into the 12th House (meaning Amy is in the unseen world of the 12th House and can also point towards forms of imprisonment). Modern rulership has her as Neptune, which is in the 11th House (showing that she could very easily be in the company of a group or someone she was friendly with). The Moon as co-ruler of the chart is also in the 11th House echoing back a similar thing. We have Mercury, the ruler of the Virgo 7th House, in the 1st House of this chart…showing the perpetrator up close and personal (in some way) with Amy since the 1st House is her territory/her space.

    Let’s back up just a little bit – this is the part of the post where Alister Douglas (aka “Yellow”) needs to be mentioned (who was/is a suspect and who’s polygraph test came up with inconclusive results). He was the bass player for the ship’s band and was seen talking, dancing, and drinking with Amy in the early morning hours of March 24th. They may not have been good friends, but they certainly seemed friendly with one another. He was observed by a few people on the ship as being with Amy between 5:30 and 6:00 am the morning she went missing (which fits in between the time Amy’s dad saw her on the balcony and when she was first noticed as missing). The observers saw him and Amy (with a drink) walk to the glass elevator and go up to wherever that went. Shortly after, the same observers saw him come back down to the main level alone. This is the last sighting of Amy on the morning/day she went missing.

    Brandy and myself, from the 3:40 am chart alone, felt that she was probably taken off/lured off the boat and then probably sold into sex-slavery (ugh I feel gross even typing that out). All of this seems even more likely with the other two charts. Why did she leave the boat? Could have been for a whole host of reasons, but the drug angle does seem very possible. If nothing else, just being intoxicated could have been the reason (Neptune in the 12th House conjunct the Ascendant clouding things/not using her normal judgment). What happened in the days, weeks, months, and years that followed is anyone’s guess. There were several sightings of her in the late 90’s and early 2000’s (though none since the early aughts which makes me wonder if she is still alive to this day). The picture below is of my notes of the various sightings of her over the years (I don’t feel like typing it all out so forgive any spelling errors and other bullshit 🤣).

    Amy Bradley sightings since she went missing


    Amy Bradley was declared dead on March 24, 2010, but her family still isn’t sure what happened to her. I really hope that she can be found at some point (either alive or dead) so that her family and loved ones can finally have closure. Brandy and myself do have hope that something CAN be found out about her case from the 3:40 am chart that we looked at (Moon ALMOST over the Ascendant/horizon). In the 5:20 am and 6:00 am charts, the Moon is completely above the horizon. The Sun, though, happens to be below the horizon in ALL the charts. The luminaries in a crime chart below the horizon tend to show that things won’t be found out, but above the horizon points that things will be figured out. This is why we have hope – one luminary above the horizon is better than NO luminaries above the horizon.

    Asteroid Icarus – Asteroid No. 1566 – Discovered on June 27, 1949

    How to read asteroid Icarus in an astrology chart (things it might want to express):
    -Where and how one might get a wild hair up their ass to do something.
    -Where and how one might do things that aren’t in their best interest.
    -Where and how one just can’t help themselves.
    -Might be where and how you need to “stay in your lane” but might be inclined to NOT do that
    -Where and how one might have too much hubris & ambition. On the flip side of that, it could also be where one doesn’t have enough hubris & ambition.
    –Where Icarus is in the chart feels like it ties in a whole bunch with finding your sweet spot. Not flying too close to the sun or flying too close to the water (or ground)…but flying at just the right height.
    –Might also represent where you ALMOST “got away”/ “escaped” in the natal chart per the mythology and Icarus & Daedalus escaping from the labyrinth (and Icarus ALMOST making it all the way to the finish line). Makes me think of someone in a horror movie ALMOST getting away from the killer but fucking up in SOME way and ending up stabbed. 
    **The actual etymology of the name means “plower” but is usually translated to either “follower” or “the one who reaches the sky.”**
    **Has an erratic orbit. When Icarus was discovered, it had the most erratic orbit of anything in our solar system**

    Side note: What is a prominent Icarus (or any asteroid) in a natal chart? In my opinion, you would want to see Icarus conjunct a natal planet, angle, North or South Node…things like that. Conjunctions should be kept to 3-degrees or less (applying or separating). Click this text to read my article on other things to consider when reading asteroids in an astrology chart. And if you want me to read your astrology chart (about Icarus, or anything!) you can get an astrology reading from me here. 

    Who was Icarus in mythology? He was the son of the craftsman Daedalus, who along with his father, was imprisoned in a labyrinth that Daedalus created (backstory! – they were accused by King Minos of helping Theseus escape the same labyrinth and their punishment was they were stuck in the labyrinth). To escape, they created some wings made from feathers, threads from sheets, beeswax and leather straps from their shoes. Daedalus explained to Icarus that he didn’t want to fly to close to the Sun or the wings could/would melt. He also told Icarus that he didn’t want to fly too close to the water or the water could/would weigh down the wings. As they were flying away Icarus decided to go against his father’s warnings (probably because he was enjoying flying around) and started to soar higher and higher. Soon though, he flew a little too close to the Sun and the beeswax in the wings melted leaving Icarus without any wings at all. This caused him to fall into the ocean…where he died. 
    **There is another version of the mythology where Icarus and Daedalus escape the labyrinth via boat. In this version Icarus falls off the boat and drowns in the ocean. Per this version of the mythology, it wasn’t wings that they made, but Daedalus crafted the first sails for a boat. 

    The orbit of Asteroid Icarus isn’t lost on me within the context of his story. In the mythology, he KNEW better than to fly too close to the Sun or too close to the water. Instead of listening to the warnings from Daedalus, he got a wild hair up his ass and decided to (essentially) go off course. Therefore, it doesn’t surprise me that the orbit of the actual asteroid Icarus wouldn’t seem to stay on any kind of normal course/would have a more erratic orbit.

    Speaking of that notion of getting a wild hair up one’s ass where Icarus is in the chart (and how by sign), there is ALSO the notion of doing things that aren’t in one’s best interest. Like…it probably felt REALLY great for Icarus to fly around with the wings, but was it in his best interest to keep going higher (no matter how good it felt or how fun it was)? No, it wasn’t. There is also the idea of asteroid Icarus being where we ignore the warning signs of things that, perhaps, we shouldn’t ignore. Both of these sorts of notions should be “monitored” where asteroid Icarus falls in a chart (so the person doesn’t do themselves dirty).

    The mythology causes people to talk a lot about Icarus and soaring too high too quickly (being too ambitious, etc.), and the fact that he didn’t listen to his father’s warnings about how to fly safely. While asteroid Icarus can totally show this where (by house) and how (by sign) that one might be too ambitious, have too much hubris, not listen, etc., I would like to counter that with another possibility. What was the warning that Daedalus gave to Icarus? To not fly too close to the Sun OR too close to the water/ground. Icarus in a chart, in some people’s cases, could be where someone ISN’T ambitious enough/doesn’t “fly high” enough/doesn’t have enough hubris, etc. How this actually plays out for the person (too much or too little) really depends on the whole chart. 
    **Before anyone jumps my ass for this take (hahahaha), Icarus DOES tend to be where there is TOO much hubris, ambition, etc. But! I have certainly seen this asteroid play out the other way where there is TOO LITTLE ambition, hubris, etc. that is exercised by the native. 

    Ultimately, where Icarus falls in the chart seems like it’s a place where a person needs to find the “sweet spot,” and how the sweet spot is found depends on the sign this is taking place. Should Icarus conjunct a natal planet, it is even more important that the person finds the “sweet spot” with what that planet wants to express. For instance, I have Icarus conjunct Neptune in the first house in Capricorn in my chart within 2-degrees. If I wanted too, I could probably let myself completely carried away with the illusionary & escape elements of Neptune (even though it’s in Capricorn it still seems possible). On the flip side of that, I could probably turn off everything Neptune wants to express as well (which wouldn’t be very good, either). 

    There is another asteroid to consider regarding Icarus, and that is the asteroid Daedalus (asteroid no. 1864). By all accounts, Daedalus seems to be presented as wise and a talented craftsman. He also appeared to be a father who cared about his son and wanted what was best for him. Icarus did what most children/teenagers will do at some point – essentially give the middle finger to their parent (even though it was to his detriment to do this). Daedalus grieved his son and gave his own wings as an offering at the Temple of Apollo, promising to never try to fly again. Daedalus in a chart could be a place that we have “grief” and “loss” that we have to deal with in some capacity (more on grief and loss in a future blog post). The asteroid Daedalus might also indicate where (by house) and how (by sign) we might warn people about things…and our warnings get ignored. 

  • Saturn conj Neptune in Aries part II

    Picture of the Saturn, Neptune and Aries Star Cards
    Because of course I will show these babies off any chance I get 😻

    This year, in 2025, the world will see a bunch of changes in planetary energy (which translates to things feeling different Earth-side). One of the big collective transits that will take place is the conjunction between transit Saturn & Neptune in Aries. Not only does this NOT happen very often (roughly every 36 years), but BOTH of these planets will have just moved into Aries when this takes place (meaning there is a whole bunch of “new” with this one).

    Disclaimer: When looking at astroweather (transits), including transit Saturn conjunct Neptune in Aries, you HAVE to take YOUR OWN ASTROLOGY CHART into consideration to know HOW a transit might play out personally for you. If you want some help with that, you can get a reading from me by clicking on this text.

    Let’s start this off with some dates and thaaaangs:
    -Transit Saturn & Neptune conjunct one another in Aries (but not exact…yet!) from May 25, 2025 through September 1, 2025
    -Transit Saturn & Neptune fuck each other (exactly!) in Aries on February 20, 2026
    -Neptune has an orbital period of 164-years. It spends roughly 13 years in a sign
    -Saturn has an orbital period of roughly 29 years. It spends 2.5 years in a sign
    -Last time that transit Saturn & Neptune were conjunct one another was in 1989 in the sign of Capricorn. Before that, this conjunction took place in 1953 in Libra.

    Over this past week I have had more thoughts come to me about transit Saturn conjunct transit Neptune in Aries (my first post on this topic can be found by clicking on this text). So lolololol without further ado, here they are:

    Lowered Expectations logo
    lolololololol 😂🤣 jk (kind of…)

    Expectations (Neptune territory) also come up when I think about Saturn and Neptune coming together. Specifically, I think of “lowered expectations” or “limited expectations” because of Saturn. Is this a bad thing? No. I don’t think it’s a bad thing necessarily to lower expectations…. especially considering how the world seems to be functioning now-a-days. Does this mean that you cease to have any expectations? No, it doesn’t. But, if we lower our expectations it is harder to be disappointed (and again, with the state of the world anymore, I don’t think that’s a bad thing). While I made mention in the first post about this subject that this conjunction can give the ability to dream build (and I do think that’s the case – I’m not totally negative here 🤣), I also think there is SOMETHING as well about lowering/limiting expectations (and this tying into the dream building). Like, if you lower/limit your expectations, it does allow a release for some of the pressure that might come along while actively building your dreams (whatever that might be). Aries energy can be “ass on fire” and “pressuring” (and Saturn can be “pressing,” lol) so the Neptunian release is very useful here.

    Authority/government subversion and weakness seems like another possible thing (along with the government/those in authority acting subversively themselves against some kind of leadership, along with the government/authority being weakened in some way). Authority and government are Saturnian expressions while subversion, weakening/weakness are Neptunian expressions, and leadership is Aries energy. There is historical precedent to what I’m saying – in 1989 we saw plenty of this stuff. All across eastern Europe (countries that were behind the Iron Curtain), countries saw their governments fall apart due to being weakened and even government subversion in some cases. Now, this was going on in Capricorn in 1989, which, while Capricorn is resilient energy, it doesn’t fight in the same way that Aries energy puts up a fight. This makes me think that any governments we see showing signs of falling apart (whether literally or figuratively), those governments/people in authority are NOT going to go down without a massive firefight.
    –We are already seeing ripples of this across the world as I’m writing this in mid-June 2025.

    Toxins are something that I keep thinking about in relation to this conjunction. Neptune has domain over toxins….but so does Saturn. I started thinking about the different plants that Saturn has rulership over for a completely unrelated reason (a lot of which are toxic), which got me to thinking about Saturn and toxins. Sure enough, the Rulership Book has BOTH Saturn and Neptune listed next to “toxins, that which is toxic, toxemia & toxic complaints” (Pluto and Scorpio are also listed). Now, we all know that there are so many toxins in the world around us. These can be found in the air that we breathe, in the food that we eat, etc. (especially here in the US – this might not be as much of an issue in other parts of the world). This really gets me thinking about the different ways that the self (Aries) comes into contact with these toxins on an everyday basis and what we might realize about toxicity in general under this conjunction. In 1989, the last time that transit Saturn and Neptune were conjunct one another (in Capricorn), the Toxic Release Inventory was established. This required certain types of manufacturing and industry to report the chemicals & toxins that were released into the environment. In 1953, the second-to-last time that transit Saturn & Neptune were conjunct one another (this time in Libra), the first poison control center was set up in Chicago (because so many children were ending up poisoned by, what seems like, the world around them). So…I guess the good thing about this particular conjunction is that it does seem to be a catalyst for things changing regarding toxicity in our environment/becoming more aware of such things (both on a collective and personal level). But it’s how much toxic shit is found that is concerning (or that could be found). 
    –To kind of add on to the idea of toxicity with the Saturn/Neptune conjunction, I have to wonder if not only we will be tasked with facing the different toxins in the environment, but also facing ways that we have been toxic to ourselves (again, since Aries energy deal with “the self”). This could be ways that we have literally introduced ourselves to toxins, but also ways that we ourselves can be toxic (this could take place on both an individual and/or collective level). 

    The idea of “real fake(s)” (or some kind of blending of “real” and “fake”) appears to be on the agenda. What do you consider to be real, and what do you consider to be fake? And not even what you consider to be real and fake – what the hell do the concepts of “real” and “fake” mean, anyway? The lines are blurring all over the place! Saturn deals in what’s real (and reality) while Neptune deals with what’s fake (and stuff like that). When I think about this particular element of Saturn conjunct Neptune my mind goes to AI (which has exploded in the past few years). Do I think we will see even more energy behind this….AI things that blur the lines between the real and unreal (almost to the point that we can’t even tell the fucking difference anymore)? Yeah, I do. If it doesn’t matter to you personally if something is real or fake, then this won’t be a problem for you (not everyone gives a shit about this). If you are the kind of person that the possibility of this bothers then start educating yourself on the “tells” (because AI does have tells that give away something was AI created).
    –There is also the notion of creative (Neptune) excellence (Saturn) that comes up for me, too. While there is a massive benefit to AI (definitely NOT knocking it), we are also seeing AI replace human creative excellence at an exponential rate (or what feels that way to me). Instead of people writing things themselves they are having chatGPT or whatever write it for them. Instead of people creating their own works of art they are having Midjourney do it for them…this is the kind of shit I’m talking about. I almost wonder if down the line human creative excellence (such as the things that people create) will be worth more than their AI counterparts. That would be WAY down the line, though (probably)…..especially the more intellectual property issues that come up with AI (and I’d bet a little money that this will be a thing).
    –Reality might also continue to be stranger than fiction under this transit…which would follow suit with how the world has been the past 10 years. Though, with this going on in Aries, it might have a whole bunch of oomph behind it.

    Unhappiness hitting a sort of breaking point also seems like something that could be involved with Saturn conjunction Neptune (as the concept of “unhappiness” is considered under the domain of Saturn and the 12th House; 12th House has an affinity for Neptune energy). Now, that’s not to say that everyone is going to be unhappy under this particular transit – that would be ridiculous to say. However, there is much going on in the world at large that could make a person unhappy, and with this transit going on in Aries it’s not going to be people just bitching about what makes them unhappy but actually DOING something about what makes them unhappy. The “doing something” or action could be a really good thing individually and/or collectively, but it could also be a really bad thing individually and/or collectively. From an historical perspective, we saw this same kind of thing happen when the Saturn & Neptune conjunction happened in 1989 in Capricorn with the Tiananmen Square Massacre (Chinese students (among others) tired of the government’s bullshit and ending up massacred).  
    –We are already seeing this come about in the US right now (minus the massacre part). This weekend (as I’m writing this) there have been several protests in different cities with people making it known loud and clear how unhappy they are with the state of things in the US and how unhappy they are with Trump’s policies. I imagine that once Uranus enters Gemini (making a mini-trine between Pluto in Aquarius and Saturn/Neptune in Aries) in a few weeks we will see even more action like this (maybe about different things, but action none-the-less). While I am giving a US current-event example here, this isn’t just a US thing – I would expect to see this kind of thing pop up all over the world.

    For those that prefer to watch videos over reading, here is a YouTube video I did on this same topic

    Let’s start this off with some dates and thaaaangs:
    -Transit Saturn & Neptune conjunct one another in Aries (but not exact…yet!) from May 25, 2025 through September 1, 2025
    -Transit Saturn & Neptune fuck each other (exactly!) in Aries on February 20, 2026

    -Last time that transit Saturn & Neptune were conjunct one another was in 1989 in the sign of Capricorn. Before that, this conjunction took place in 1952 in Libra.

    Let’s talk first about WHAT the planets Saturn & Neptune want/need to express and HOW Aries energy might express itself

    Some “keywords” for what Saturn may express:

    BoundariesThe MasterReality
    StructureAuthority (of all kinds)Testing
    “Father Time”/DaddyBuildingStructure

    Some “keywords” for what Neptune may express:

    No BoundariesDissolutionIllusions/Delusions
    DreamsSpiritualityConspiracy
    UnconsciousDistortionManifesting

    Some “keywords” for how Aries Energy may express:

    DirectBeginningSelf-Focused
    ActionPassionDrive
    FearAggressionWill
    When you think about transit Saturn & Neptune conjunct one another in Aries, what are the first thoughts that come to your mind? When I think about this conjunction, these are what come to mind first:

    The conjunction between Transit Saturn & Neptune in Aries could cause an aggressive (Aries) dissolution (Neptune) of structures (Saturn) that are in place. While Saturn was in Pisces there was already a sense of structures dissolving, but it didn’t have the kind of force that Saturn & Neptune in Aries has behind it. On a collective level, we might find that structures that we have in place just don’t work anymore and need to be dissolved…so a new beginning can take place. It’s also possible that structures that we have in place that DO work also end up a casualty of this dissolving process (which is…concerning). The same sort of thing might occur on an individual level for people – if there are structures that you have in place in your own life that are in a process of dissolving (and they are structures that don’t really benefit you), the addition of Aries energy in the mix feels like it gives the energy necessary to do just this.

    As silly as this might sound, the conjunction between transit Saturn & Neptune in Aries bestows the ability for dream (Neptune) building (Saturn) to actively occur (Aries). What is it that you dream of being able to build for yourself that really lights you up/that you feel passionate about? These are the kinds of things that can be “built” during this period of time (or at the very least the pieces can be placed on the board to be “arranged” later). In many cases of this, I suspect that structures will have to dissolve before the dream building can happen (this may not be universal, but a lot of the time things have to end before something else can begin creation).

    There is also the idea of boundaries with this conjunction, or rather, what the fuck are boundaries anyway? Saturn is a planet that expresses (and enforces) boundaries. Neptune, on the other hand, doesn’t know what the hell a boundary is or what to do with one. Through recent history, we’ve seen the issue of physical boundaries brought into the equation during Saturn/Neptune conjunctions. On November 9, 1989 (a few days before the exactitude between Saturn & Neptune in Capricorn) the world saw the fall of the Berlin Wall. On July 27, 1953 when Saturn & Neptune were fucking each other in Libra (again, right around the time of the exactitude), the armistice agreement between North & South Korea occurred which created the DMZ that still exists today. This is essentially a military stalemate – lol Libra energy and not being able to make a fucking decision 🤣. We need to be watching different boundaries across the world right now. India and Pakistan (which I’ve mentioned a few times in different YouTube videos over the years) seems particularly hot for something to arise. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if we see some kind of boundary dissolution occur under the Saturn/Neptune conjunction this time around.
    **On an individual level, you might find that the boundaries you already have in place seem to dissolve (or they might be forced to dissolve – Aries is so forceful). You might also question what/where/why you have certain boundaries in place to begin with….and question if the walls need to come tumbling down.

    These cards from The Illuminati Card Game come to mind when I think of this conjunction
    ….because of course they do!

    Time Warping is ABSOLUTELY a Saturn conjunct Neptune thing (and in Aries there will be certain kind of “oomph” to it). Have any of y’all out there noticed that not only does time feel like it is speeding up, but that it also just feels….warped/distorted? I don’t want to say that it feels “wrong” (that’s not accurate to say), but just…..sideways? Or twisted inside out and spit back out? Saturn is “father-time” (and “daddy” lol) while Neptune can express itself so confused and clouded that time ends up distorted (or like we all somehow ended up on a fucked-up timeline). I would imagine that these kinds of feelings (time speeding up and time being warped/distorted) will continue in some capacity throughout the summer of 2025 and into 2026 once both Saturn and Neptune are back in Aries again (these will both Rx into Pisces in autumn). Another thing about time warping/distortion – the very nature of reality feels like it’s being called into question. People all over the place are starting to question the possible distortion (Neptune) of the reality (Saturn) in which we live on a collective level (people also seem to be questioning this individually, too). It also seems like being able to manifest (Neptune) reality (Saturn) in a way that works for the individual (Aries) could be a way that this transit comes about (and, really, is a fantastic way to work with the energy of the planets involved).
    **It’s not a fucked up timeline, and it’s EXACTLY where we are all supposed to be…for whatever reason.

    The Hat Trick card could mean different things depending on the interpreter. I think of it, like, no one really knows what the fuck is going on and there are constantly distractions and “tricks” done in front of us to keep us in the dark, keep us confused, and maybe even to keep us distorted.

    lolololololololol
    This card needs no explanation 😂

    Do I wear a tin-foil hat at times? Absolutely. Not the “flat earth” kind of tin-foil hat, but definitely other kinds of tin-foil hats (like ET’s 👽and conspiracies within/about governments around the world and shit like that). Why am I bringing this up? Because conspiracy IS a thing that Neptune might express (Pluto is another planet that can express this, too)….and Saturn might express things like literal authority and government. So, with the Saturn & Neptune conjunction, we have the possibility of government (Saturn) conspiracy (Neptune). In Aries, this could point towards a new-beginning or “era” of such things…or these kinds of things having a lot of energy/action behind them. Let’s get real – governments around the world are constantly fucking around and on their bullshit. I could rattle off a bunch of fucked up shit that the US government has done around the world throughout it’s history (and on American soil), things that would have been labeled as a “conspiracy theory” when they were going on but are now known as fact.
    ….This brings me to something going on RIGHT NOW in June 2025 – the glorious crash and burn breakup between Trump and Musk. As entertaining as it has been to watch this play out this past week, I do have to wonder how authentic & legitimate this breakup is in the first place? Like, don’t get me wrong – I can absolutely see alien and predator publicly going at it the way that they are (it doesn’t seem out of the realm of possibility for these two dorks). At the same time, though, it doesn’t seem out of the realm of possibility that this is all a fucking HAT TRICK to distract the American people (and the rest of the world who are, I’m sure, laughing at our asses) from something else entirely. I fully expect there to be more shit like this that happens in the US (and across the world) while Saturn and Neptune are fucking one another in Aries.

  • Transit Saturn in Aries (2025-2028)

    I don’t know about y’all, but I am SO GLAD that transit Saturn has moved out of Pisces, and now we have transit Saturn in Aries. It doesn’t even matter to me that Saturn is in fall in Aries – I’m just glad Saturn is out of Pisces…where it can jerk off (which is not how Saturn wants to function anyway). Even though Saturn is in fall in Aries, and it might take a little longer to get stuff done, it DOES eventually get the stuff it needs to get done, done.  

    **When looking at transit Saturn in Aries (or any astrological transit), it’s important to consider how they interact with your personal astrology chart….so you can see how these energies could unfold for you.

    Some themes that might come up under this transit

    Delays in taking action/frustrated in taking action
    -If you feel like there are things that you want to do, or things that you are trying to do, but you feel like you are being restricted from doing them…stop and ask yourself if these things that you want to do are actually things your ass needs to be doing in the first place. We tend to look at delays and Saturnian “challenges” as negative things, but as frustrating as they may be they aren’t always negative. Sometimes – and I really DO believe this – Saturn is causing “delays” or “restrictions” to keep you from doing something that may not behoove you or turn out well (or be in your best interest/highest good to do). What the individual (and the collective) needs to watch for is feeling restricted/frustrated from taking action for so long that one just starts popping off and doing whatever it can versus waiting to do what one (or the collective) actually wants to do. 

            Mastery of the Self
         (probably through the self being “tested”)
    This is probably the very best way to utilize the energies involved with this transit, for Saturn is “mastery” (or “the master”) and Aries energy is self-focused. Taking the time that this transit is going on to master your sense of self seems like a productive way to work with the energy. For instance, if you find yourself embroiled in some kind of “test” (or what might feel like a test – Saturn loves to “test”), ask yourself what kind of self-mastery could/can be obtained through this test or this lesson. That doesn’t make the testing any easier (lol) but it might help make it more bearable. It’s also not bullshit – Saturn does test, but it also doesn’t do anything without a purpose of some kind (so it’s not just testing a person, or the collective, for funsies). 
    **Self-authority also falls under this umbrella.

                         Limited/Restricted Leadership
                    (also, perhaps, the “fall” of governmental leadership)
    During this period, transit Saturn might directly impact those in government (Saturn can express “authority” and government can absolutely fall under the concept of “authority”). This isn’t limited to the US, either (I only make that comment because I am in the US and some of my posts where government is concerned are more US-centric). Depending on where you fall politically, this could be viewed as a really good thing or a really bad thing (or you could be like me and feel like the notion of “political parties” are all bullshit and theater). I could see there being delays and restrictions with leadership in different places.  

               Testing of Freedom/Independence/Patience 
              (and even testing how fearless or fearful we are)
    Under transit Saturn in Aries we might find that our freedom, independence, and or impatience (or patience) is tested by different people, places, things, and situations that come into our orbit (individually and/or collectively). There is definitely enough going on in the world right now (and even before transit Saturn moved into Aries) to test people on an individual and collective level. This transit could push a person/people to decide where the boundaries are with what will and will not be tolerated. There might be times that it doesn’t feel like boundaries can be enforced at all (or like it’s not even worth it to try and enforce them). Don’t take this route – it’s always worth it to lay down boundaries, especially if the boundaries that need to be laid down would help you (or the collective) to feel more free and independent.

    Delayed Anger
    There is also the idea of delayed anger with transit Saturn in Aries. How can this manifest? It could be that something that happened years ago that should have made you/the collective angry (or DID make you/the collective angry) comes popping up to say “HELLO!” needing to be dealt with under this transit. It could also mean that things which happen under this current transit Saturn in Aries period that should make you/the collective angry (or that DO make you/the collective angry) may not be “dealt” with for years down the line.

    Because I’m a history-slut, lololol, we’ve gotta look at the history just a little bit.

    First and foremost, think back to the last time that transit Saturn was in Aries. Some of you all reading this post may not have been alive yet (or might be too young to remember what was going on for you), but for those of you that are old enough to remember, think back to what was going on for you personally from April 1996 through June 1998 and again from October 1998 through March 1999. Obviously, things were different almost 30 years ago (planets transiting different signs, etc.), but whatever Saturn in Aries themes were coming up for you back then might come up for you again in the present-era Saturn in Aries transit. For instance, during this period I was starting my first “business” of buying and selling Beanie Babies 🤣. This sounds goofy, lol, but at 9 years old I was finding retired & hard to find Beanies Babies and re-selling them for a (small) profit. It was also during this period that I became treasurer of the student council in elementary school. It was really cool; I got to be a part of an all-girl group of student council leadership. 

    On a collective level, there was plenty that was going on in the world at the time. Here are some of the “highlights”: 
    -Clinton-Lewinsky Scandal (and his impeachment trial) 
    -Hong Kong given back to China
    -Hebron Protocol
    -Increase in home-computer ownership (big jump from 1990 to 1996/1997)
    **this last one is particularly interesting to me because it took place when Saturn had moved into Aries AND Uranus had just moved into Aquarius. Now, in the present day, we’re seeing Saturn move into Aries again, and this time Uranus will have just moved into Gemini. 

    I will definitely go more into the above in a post that I’m currently writing with the working title “the summer of shit” 🤣. But! For now, let’s just say we can see the themes that came up almost 30 years ago MIGHT VERY WELL come around again in the present day (in a different yet “echo-ish” way) …and Saturn has just started his time in Aries.   

  • Transit Jupiter in Cancer

    What do you personally believe in? Why do you believe it? Where does that belief come from…..and where, from within you, does it take root (same questions could (and should be) asked about personal truth). These are the kinds of questions that may come up with transit Jupiter in Cancer. Jupiter governs beliefs, expansion, and the search for meaning, while Cancer makes everything personal. With this combination, it’s hard not to feel prompted to explore your inner world and ask: What do I really stand for?

    Let’s start this post on transit Jupiter in Cancer with some dates, “keywords” and other thangs:
    -Jupiter will enter Cancer on June 9, 2025 and it will be there until June 30, 2026. 
    -Jupiter will be retrograde in Cancer from November 11, 2025 through March 10, 2026
    -Jupiter’s orbital period is one year
    -Jupiter is “exalted” in Cancer
    -Transit North Node is in Pisces and transit South Node is in Virgo 
    (this matters because Pisces is traditionally ruled by Jupiter)

    I will show off the Star Cards any chance I get 🤣

    Some things that feel possible to come up under this transit (both individually and collectively)

    Expansion of Emotions, Sentimentality, and Home & Family
    Jupiter is the planet of expansion, and yes, it can be a little extra sometimes. During its stay in Cancer, some people might literally expand their families or their homes. Others may find themselves feeling more emotional, nostalgic, and/or sentimental than usual. And this isn’t limited to people who typically operate that way (this can touch anyone). What’s key during this time is to check in with yourself regularly. Ask: “Am I being a little too extra about this?” For some of you, the answer will be no – you’re showing up with just the right amount of feeling and emotion. For others, you might need to dial it back.

    Understanding Emotions & Feelings
    During this transit, some individuals (and some pockets of the collective) may become more tapped in to understanding emotions and feelings. On the surface, that might sound like a simple or even universally positive development (emotional things are rarely simple, though). While greater emotional understanding can foster compassion and connection, in the wrong hands, it could also be manipulated or weaponized. Of course, that won’t be true for everyone, but it’s something to be mindful of as this transit unfolds.

    Truth Seeking (and Knowledge) about Family, Home and even the “Homeland”
    During this transit, there may be a strong individual and collective urge to seek the truth about one’s family and the personal meaning of “home.” How this could come about on a personal level will vary depending on each person’s unique circumstances. On a collective level, this energy could manifest as knowledge and truth seeking (even understanding) about the concept of “homeland.” Cancer energy doesn’t just deal with notions of an individual’s home, but it can also represent the homeland of a person (or the notion of “homeland” in general). As a result, we may see a broader movement toward uncovering truths and seeking wisdom regarding such.

    Personal Beliefs (and Truth)
    What do you truly believe and why? Are those beliefs actually yours because YOU believe them, or do they stem from your upbringing, your roots, or your family? Do they need to be unraveled? When I say “beliefs,” I mean ALL beliefs…religious, metaphysical, spiritual, philosophical, political, and beyond. The important thing is that what you believe feels personal to you (and that they are YOURS). The same goes for your personal truth. Do you know what that looks like? If not, (and if you haven’t been actively exploring it) this transit may stir something in you. It might nudge you to start that search, or to go deeper into it, bringing you a little closer to understanding what your personal truth really is.

    **Keep in mind that however this transit goes, whatever way you choose to “work it” personally (or how we collectively choose to work it), the possibility of Jupiterian things being exaggerated is high. This is not only because Jupiter can be rather “extra” anyway (lol) but because Jupiter is exalted in Cancer (exaltation = exaggeration).**

    There is also a historical element that should be mentioned in this post (I brought this up briefly in the YouTube video that I did on this same subject). From a personal standpoint, think back to what was going on in your life the last time that Jupiter was in Cancer (this was from June 26, 2013 through July 16, 2014). What comes up while Jupiter is in Cancer this time won’t be EXACTLY the same as what came up for you (and collectively) in 2013/2014, but there probably will be SOME themes that echo the past (how “nostalgic” and “sentimental”). For instance, in July of 2013, right after Jupiter moved into Cancer, I married a massive asshole. We got divorced in 2022, but I have (somewhat recently) instigated something that should have happened when we were getting divorced (and what I have instigated will continue for a good portion of the time that Jupiter is in Cancer in 2025). So, there is definitely an echo of the past going on from this side of the page.

    From a collective (and historical) standpoint I started thinking back to what was going on the last time Jupiter was in Cancer. Just for a little quick history (lol), here are just a few things that were going on in the world at the time:
    -“Fallout” from Edward Snowden’s release of fuckery by the different US alphabet agencies
    -Rise of ISIS
    -Russia pulling its bullshit in Crimea
    -2014 American Immigration Crisis

    As I was thinking back, though, my attention quickly turned to the transiting nodal axis. It has always caught my attention that transit Jupiter will be in Cancer while the transit North Node is in Pisces…and Jupiter is one of the rulers of Pisces…and it’s exalted in Cancer. Then I started looking for when the last time Jupiter was in Cancer AND the Nodal Axis was transiting the Virgo/Pisces Axis.  What I came back with was that in mid-July 1978 through early-September 1978 and again from early-March through late-April 1979, Jupiter was in Cancer and the transit North Node was in Virgo (with the transit South Node in Pisces). 
    **The nodal axis was flipped in 1978 & 1979 from where it is now, but for the purposes of this exercise, I was just looking for when the nodal axis was in the signs of Virgo and Pisces, not necessarily the North Node in Pisces.

    These cards from the Illuminati Card Game coming in HOT
    (and lololol at calling them the “moral minority”)

    What was going on in the late 1970s (during this period) that feels incredibly relevant in the US in 2025 (especially here in Texas which is where I live)? Well, that would be the rise of the christian right in politics, with the “moral majority” coming into frame and all that bullshit. Make no mistake – there was religious shit in politics before the late 1970s, but it was THIS “moral majority” Jerry Falwell bullshit which really kicked it off (and we have seen waves of it ever since….and we’re seeing a massive wave of it right now). Interestingly enough, the rise of christian right took off during the period of time that the transiting North Node was in Virgo and the transiting South Node was in Pisces (flipped from how it is currently in 2025) with transit Jupiter in Cancer. The North Node is where we are wanting to “go,” and while Virgo energy can be incredibly decent and helpful, it can also be incredibly puritanical (this is a shadow of this sign energy). Pisces energy, where the transit South Node was at the time in the late 1970s, can be a little “confused” and “unrealistic” (and with Jupiter exalted in Cancer during some of this nodal axis transit in the 1970’s, it feels like there could have been some “confusion” and “lack of realism” about beliefs…that were very exaggerated).

    Currently in 2025, we have the transiting South Node in Virgo and the transiting North Node in Pisces. It seems like we are coming from a more “puritanical” place (the Virgo South Node) and we are desperately wanting (aching!) to move towards a more accepting way of being and existing (the Pisces North Node). Honestly, I HOPE that’s the way that all of this goes (though, there are other transits going on that make me less hopeful). Realistically though, it could be that we are moving towards a more “confused” or “unrealistic” place (both of those keywords are also very Pisces). There isn’t ANYTHING realistic or sustainable with the way that this country is going. This is especially true here in Texas and all the bullshit the government is pulling. Such as (but not limited to) the Texas government shoving religious bullshit down the throats of children (such as the Ten Commandments having to be displayed in public schools….da fuq is this bullshit?!). Most of our politicians in this state appear to have been bought by a few evangelisterrorists out in West Texas who seem hellbent on turning this state into some crazy ass Christian fundamentalist theocracy. People in the US think they are just a Texas problem (if people know the names Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks at all) but make no mistake – they are coming for the whole country next. They have already started laying the groundwork.
    ….I’ve said this a million times before, but I’ll say it again: RELIGION HAS NO PLACE IN FUCKING POLITICS. BELIEFS HAVE NO PLACE IN FUCKING POLITICS. Can/should a person VOTE based on their beliefs? Sure, nothing wrong with that. Should we be putting things into law that are based in religious belief? Absolutely the fuck not. The argument people will make is that the “uS is A cHRistIAN nATioN!” These fools need a fucking history lesson.

    Look, I’m not trying to rag on religion. Some people have their beliefs because they truly believe them – I would never rag on someone for having personal beliefs, dogma attached or not. There are plenty of people who have a religious faith and don’t force their beliefs onto anyone else (you all are NOT the people I’m talking to). The issue with Jupiter in Cancer (Jupiter energy can absolutely tie in with religion, religious beliefs, and dogma), is that beliefs (especially those which are very personal) can be SO exaggerated because they are SO personal. Just because something is YOUR personal belief doesn’t mean everyone else needs to believe it, too (or that it’s even “true” in a universal sense in the first place – something can be true to a person and be batshit crazy to everyone else, etc.). If you find yourself feeling that you need to shove your beliefs down someone else’s throat, or impose your beliefs on someone else (which could go against the way another person lives their life without hurting anyone else), you need to ask yourself WHY and understand where this need comes from in the first place. If it comes from some level of personal insecurity (Cancer energy strives for security but can be incredibly insecure), check yourself. If you find that religion (or your beliefs) are used to control someone else or manipulate someone/something else (perhaps because it was passed down to you to function this way), check yourself. If you are using religion as a “beard” so you can be (or continue to be) a piece of shit person, please check the fuck out of yourself. Everyone needs to get really fucking honest with themselves as they unravel this stuff. Some of y’all out there need to ask yourself “why is my religion, or why are my beliefs, so far superior to anyone else’s beliefs (or lack of belief) that they need to be imposed onto others that don’t share said belief/religion?” This would take a level of self-awareness that so many seem to lack, so from a logical place I’m not super-hopeful. But…isn’t it just EASIER to let people just “be” and “exist”? That’s something that is possible under transit Jupiter in Cancer AND the transiting nodal axis in Pisces & Virgo (and is something for which the North Node in Pisces yearns). We just have to actually DO it (and knock off the puritanical bullshit).

  • Transit Neptune in Aries from March 2025 through March 2039

    This year, in 2025, the world will see three planets (Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) take up residence in new signs (I have gone into Uranus’ transition into Gemini here and here on the website). Not only that though, but Pluto did its final fuck around dance from Capricorn to Aquarius in November 2024 (even though Pluto won’t move into Aquarius in 2025 since it’s already there, the energy is so new that it may as well be counted here). Neptune entering Aries (lol “entering” hahaha) has been on my radar since December 2021 when I did a video about it for YouTube, but never did an astrological ramblings post about it…until now.
    **With all the energy shifts coming up this year if you would like for me to do an astrology reading for you, that can be done by clicking on this.
    **If you are more of a watcher than a reader, you can find the YouTube video on this same thing here.

    I’d like to mention that everyone wants to rag on Mars, Saturn, and Pluto transits, treating them like “villains” in the astrological story. While, yeah, those three can certainly can be villainous assholes (along with Uranus who enjoys stirring shit up), I don’t think Neptune gets quite the villain edit that it deserves (or the villain edit that I would give it). ALL the planets have their “light” and their “shadow,” but I think Neptune often has more of a shadow than people talk about.

    Let’s start this off with some dates:
    -Neptune enters Aries for the first time on March 30, 2025 through October 22, 2025 
    (Slips back into Pisces)
    -Neptune moves into Aries again from January 27, 2026 through May 22, 2038
    (moves into Taurus for the first time in 2038)
    -Neptune moves back into Aries for the last time from October 22, 2038 through March 24, 2039 
    (Neptune will firmly be in Taurus for the next 12 years) 
    **Neptune has an orbital period of 164-years. It spends roughly 13 years in a sign**

    When you think about Neptune in Aries, what comes to your mind? I asked this same question 3 years ago when I did the original video on this subject. Let’s talk first about WHAT the planet Neptune wants/needs to express and HOW Aries energy might express itself:

    Shameless promotion of the Star Cards (the Neptune card and the Aries card, illustrating Transit Neptune in Aries)

    Some “keywords” for what Neptune may express:

    IdealismCloudingSpiritualityEscapeUnconsciousConfusion
    FaithLack of BoundariesIllusions & DelusionsNot Grounded & Unrealistic Martyrdom & Martyr-ComplexAddictions, Substances & Intoxicants
    OnenessDreamsCompassion & SensitivityFluid & 
    Adaptable    		ImprisonmentCreativity

    Some “keywords” for Aries Energy and how it may express:

    ImpulsiveFreedomIndependenceSelf-FocusedLeadershipInstinct
    DriveAction-OrientedFear (both Fearlessness & Fearfulness)New BeginningsExpressions of Will (and Willpower)Aggression & Anger 
    AssertiveGod of WarPassion & Desire
    (Animalistic)    		ImpetuousCompetitiveIndividuated


    When I think about that question now in early-2025 and seeing the way that the world seems to be going, the first things that come to my mind are:
    -Clouding/Confusion about (or surrounding) War and Fighting 
    -Illusions/Delusions of Independence and Freedom 
    -Manipulation by Leadership (and Leaders)….and leaders who are manipulated
    –Also, Confused Leadership seems like a very possible thing as well
    All of the above are more “challenging” in nature. There are “easy” or “positive” ways that this transit can go as well (I just don’t think we’re collectively there yet). Some of those ways could be:
    -Faith in New Beginnings
    -Creative New Frontiers
    -Spirituality through the Self
    **All transits have the possibility to be “easy,” “challenging,” and maybe even a little bit of both at different times**

    The thoughts that come to my mind are phrases like “What are we fighting for? Who are we fighting (and should we be fighting them in the first place)? Do we even fucking know anymore?” I think transit Neptune moving into Aries is going to bring up thoughts like this, eventually anyway (though, this might not happen until later in the 2020’s once transit Neptune has “settled” into Aries). As I’m writing this in early 2025, the entire world feels like it’s on the brink of war in a bunch of different places across the globe (some parts of the world are already engaged in conflict/have been engaged in conflict). Knowing who we are really fighting (and what we are fighting for), and breaking through any lack of clarity in this regard, seems really important.

    Confused Leadership (and confusion on who to look towards for leadership) also seems like a thing that may come up as Neptune moves into Aries. I mean, lol, here in the US we’re already there (we’ve been here a while, in my opinion 🤣). It seems likely that we will see this sort of thing pop up across the world more often, with leadership doing things that make a person go “wtf are they doing?!” We need to quit looking to these fucking assholes to “lead the way” that don’t know what they are doing anymore than anyone else (and we also need to know what the actual intentions/drives of those in power are). On the surface, what drives a person (or a leader/leadership) may appear to be one thing, but other things might be in play more than they seem. Appearances can be deceiving. This can be the case because the person/leadership/etc. doesn’t know what drives them in the first place, or because they have been bought and sold by someone/something else (but this is a WHOLE other conversation so I’ll stop here).
    -Another way to play with keywords for Neptune in Aries is Faith in Infants (Neptune expressing Faith and Aries energy expressing itself in an “infant” or “small child” kind of way). Makes me think of the lyrics “there is nothing more sadistic than an infant, waving his pistol in my face” from the Poe song Trigger Happy Jack 🤣. “You can’t talk to a psycho like a normal human being….”

    Faith in New Beginnings seems like it falls under the domain of transit Neptune in Aries. What are these new beginnings, exactly? Honestly, who the fuck even knows (and I could see this being a “good” thing or a “bad thing”… or maybe both 😂). While there is a need for new beginnings across so much of the world, new beginnings can also bring their own host of problems. Are we all (collectively and individually) putting faith in new beginnings (and the new) that are “positive,” or are we putting faith in the new simply because they are something/somewhere “new” to put our faith (because the old ways aren’t working/stopped working/etc.). New Beginnings can be a wonderful thing, but we all need to make sure that the new with which we involve ourselves is actually what we THINK it is.

    It seems like during this transit we might see an increase in spirituality through one’s sense of self (this particular thing could be a really cool). It could become seen as (even more) unnecessary for a middle man (like a priest) to connect someone to God (or the Creator); people might instead take more initiative in making this kind of connection themselves. Neptune also isn’t religious (generally speaking that’s what I consider to be shadow Jupiter & Sagittarius territory), which could allow for more spiritual independence to take place across the world.
    -I wouldn’t be surprised if we see even more people talking about “spiritual warfare” and things of that nature under the course of this transit. Do I believe in that personally? Hell, I don’t know. I certainly don’t believe in it in the way that evangelicals screech about it 🤣 but I do think it’s possible there are unseen things/forces (both of this world and not) waging war on humanity? Can’t rule out the possibility.

    Illusions and delusions of freedom and independence seem possible under the course of this transit, and perhaps trying to see through the fog of what freedom actually is and what actually makes a person free. Across the world slavery still exists in many different ways and with many different faces. While certain types of slavery are blatant (such as human trafficking – someone who is being trafficked is obviously NOT free), other types are less clear (such as someone being a slave to their job to keep their insurance benefits – they have the choice to work that job, supposedly, so are they really a slave?). I would argue that if you keep doing a job solely to have insurance, you ARE a slave to the job. Throughout the time of transit Neptune in Aries we will probably see questions like this come up even more (especially if history has anything to say about this transit).
    -What would be awesome to see transpire are more compassionate actions taken towards mankind in general and the notion of slavery (and ANY kind of slavery is a bad thing….and that the concept of slavery can wear many different faces).

    Creative new frontiers might also be a theme we see unfold under this transit. Neptune is super creative and new frontiers and pioneering are ways that Aries energy can express itself. We are already seeing this happen with the rise of using AI for art, music, and other mediums of creativity (which begs the question….is it really creative at all if a computer is generating the artwork, etc. for someone?). Either way, this is a new frontier in creativity that will only gain traction (imo) once Neptune moves into Aries. It will probably become even more important that people who are creative by trade be able to establish their creative work as made 100% by a person (for those that still do that).
    **There could even be a market for this, especially since we are constantly inundated by AI images that all kind of….look the same? I don’t know how to describe it exactly, but AI generated art tends to have a certain look to it that oftentimes makes me entirely uninterested in it 🤣

    To add a side note: I don’t know about all y’all, but shit has felt fucked on planet Earth since 2012…which is when Neptune entered Pisces “for good.” Really makes me wonder if *maybe* the Mayan’s were on to something with their predictions of the world ending in 2012. Obviously, the world didn’t end but I really do wonder if we jumped timelines or some shit. Either way nothing has felt remotely “normal” since 2011. Everything has felt fucking crazy, cloudy, and delusional (on the challenging end) and ALL throughout Neptune in Pisces I have been asking myself “is this shit really happening?” and “is this shit really real?” (both in terms of personal things AND collective happenings). Really, the whole damn period of time feels like some kind of fever dream. I have to wonder if there is a sense of waking up from this kind of fever dream that happens once Neptune enters Aries (or at least once Neptune has firmly settled into Aries).

  • Chiron’s Return in the United States

    Chiron Returns happens about every 48-52 years – this means that if someone lives to see 50 or so years old, they will experience transit Chiron “coming home” to it’s exact position in their natal chart. Same thing is true of countries – if a country exists beyond 48 to 52 years, it, too, will see a Chiron Return.
    **This article IS a repost, but since the original post is from January 11, 2022 and the algorithm likes “new” shit (and also because this post is relevant more than ever now), it’s getting reposted. If you are more of a watcher than a reader, here is a YouTube video I did on this topic. And as always, if you would like for me to read an astrology chart for you, you can get a reading by me here 🙂

    Chiron Returns bring up Chiron’s core wounding in a chart – forcing one to acknowledge the pain and wounding that exists there. This is made easier if the person (or if the country) has already put in some work to help heal their Chiron wounding before the Return happens. Even if work has already been put in on attempting to heal Chiron during previous times in one’s life, the Return serves as a benchmark to see just what you’ve learned (and to respond accordingly). The United States has actually had 4 Chiron Return previously, so the one coming up in the 2020’s is not our first rodeo. However, this one IS a little different in that it coincides with the US’s Pluto Return (it comes in hot on the heels of the apex of the Pluto Return), while also being boxed in with the US’s Uranian Return/Uranus entering Gemini. THESE factors do make this Chiron Return a little more unique (just by virtue of being sandwiched by two other massive transit events).

    For a timeline, Chiron’s Return will be going on from:
    -May 23, 2022 through September 15, 2022
    -March 23, 2023 through May 20, 2025
    -October 12, 2025 through March 22, 2026
    The reason for the time being broken up is because I use an orb of 5-degrees applying and separating between transit and natal Chiron, and during those breaks in time transit Chiron will be out of that 5-degree applying or separating orb with the US’s natal Chiron.

    Just for reference, Pluto’s Return is already going on from present through December 27, 2025 (this technically started in early 2020). Transit Pluto will be conjunct the US’s natal Pluto on February 20, 2022, July 12, 2022, and on December 27, 2022. Uranus will enter Gemini “for good” (not retrograding back into Taurus) on April 26, 2026. This puts Chiron’s Return right in the middle of all of this.

    The US has it’s natal Chiron at 20 Aries 08 in the 4th House. Since the US is dealing with a 4th House Chiron, it does feel to me that the wounding is very personal TO the US, specifically involving the homeland and/or the people. In Aries, this is going to deal with notions of independence, aggression, self-assurance (or even self-doubt), drive, and other Arian traits. Really, the 4th House can be rather “defensive” and Aries energy can be “offensive” – so this feels something like “the best defense is a good offense.” The US is very consumed with protecting the homeland, so this does seem like it fits. The US ALSO has it’s natal Saturn in Libra in the 10th House loosely opposite natal Chiron, which does make me think we are probably too busy playing world “peacemaker” or “negotiator” to be defensive about our own people (and the care of the people in this country) …..which also seems very apt (or defensive of our people in the “right” ways). The US is also very focused on notions of personal independence, Now, this isn’t a bad thing – there is nothing wrong with personal independence and there is nothing wrong with a country cherishing such a belief. It CAN be a problem, or wounding, for a country when personal independence is put before the welfare of ALL the people who are citizens of the country. This is something I don’t think we’ve ever fully been able to figure out – how to still value personal independence strongly while still being caring and compassionate towards those who, perhaps, personal independence isn’t as easily obtained for a whole myriad of reasons (either in the short or long term). THIS feels like it probably plays into the US’s wounding, this idea that “I have mine so FUCK EVERYONE ELSE” that seems to be very prevalent in American society. Aries energy *can* be selfish, and I do think THIS is wounding to us as a country.
    ***The US also has natal Chiron loosely square the Sun in the 7th in Cancer (with Leo being on the cusp of the 9th House). This makes me think that this country’s ego is more focused on the concept of the “other” (and in this case, it does feel more “other country” focused). THIS pulls at Chiron – like the more involvement we have with other countries, the less that we are able to heal Chiron’s wounding here at home (or something along those lines). I could probably go more depth, but I’ll stop there for now. We need to knock this shit off, though.

    As I mentioned before, the US has seen 4 Chiron Returns in the country’s history, and these happened from 1972 – 1976, 1922-1926, and again in the 1870’s and 1820’s (I haven’t looked at the exact dates or the historical context for the ones that occurred in the 1800’s). There are definitely some historical things that occurred during the last two Chiron Returns that stand out to me (and I like to look at the history here since similar themes can come back around – time is cyclical).

    During the time of the last Chiron Return in the 1970s, Watergate was going on which ended with Nixon resigning as president in 1974 (Gerald Ford became president after Nixon resigned). The US pulled out of Vietnam in 1973 with the Vietnam War coming to an end in 1975. BOTH of these things were embarrassments to the United States. I mean, lol, the Nixon thing probably should be embarrassing on it’s own (because, hahahaha, it is). It’s the Vietnam thing that gets me the most. The US didn’t appear to be embarrassed about fighting in a fucking proxy war that we didn’t need to fight in the first place or drafting people to go to war (and having to implement the draft because so many men didn’t want to fight that fucking war – that should say something right there). The US also didn’t seem to be embarrassed about the treatment of the men that fought in that war after they came home (by and large they were not treated well – THAT should be and should’ve been fucking embarrassing). But no….at the time it seems that it was most embarrassing that we were on the “losing side.” There was also a recession from 1973 – 1975 which included BOTH high unemployment and high inflation. Health insurance shit also came into play as well. Before Nixon resigned (and while he was running for re-election in 1972), he campaigned on some different ideas dealing with health care (such as having employers obligated to offer insurance to full time employees, and things of that nature). Some of what he proposed is in place today (though it didn’t happen until after he was out of office – Watergate kind of derailed his plans this way).

    During the time of Chiron’s Return in the 1920’s, there was a recession that took place from May 1923 through July 1924, though this one appears to have dealt more with inflation than unemployment. Health and medical stuff came up around this time as well. Hospital and medical expense policies were introduced, and individual hospitals started offering services to individuals on a prepaid basis (I can’t actually nail down an exact date for this). President Harding died in in 1923 of a heart attack and his Vice, President Coolidge, took office). Prohibition was also going on at this time – this was started in 1919 with the Volstead Act and added as the Eighteenth Amendment to the US Constitution in 1920 (later it was repealed with the Twenty-First Amendment). Interestingly enough, Nixon enacted the “War on Drugs” a year or two before 1972 and when our most recent Chiron return started (substances were obviously illegal before this with the passing of the Harrison Act in 1914, but the War on Drugs kind of upped the game). When are we going to learn that prohibiting stuff causes more fucking problems than it solves? We can make shit illegal all day long, but where there is a will there is a way – if someone wants to get a hold of something (and we could be talking about anything here), they will find a way to get a hold of it. In this day and age, we could be talking about anything from firearms to abortion….to fucking anything. If firearms become illegal, the black market will skyrocket for them (people in this country like their guns). If abortion is made illegal, the demand won’t go away – a black market will open up for them, too. It does make me wonder if might see something else get prohibited, and this could be something completely new or something that has already been threatened with prohibition in the past.
    **Both Prohibition and the War on Drugs should be fucking embarrassing for Americans because neither really tackled any of the root issues that stem from alcohol or other substances.

    To sum that up, lol, there do appear to be some common themes:
    -Recessions and money shit
    -Health and medical shit
    -Change in political leadership
    -“Embarrassing” shit happening

    Maybe we will take the opportunity with this Chiron Return to learn something about really defending the American people in a more compassionate and caring way? Not in the military industrial complex way (not that kind of defense if we can help ourselves – we already know about that), but perhaps, putting the American people and our interests first. I definitely think values will come into play (and perhaps even money and other resources) with Pluto’s Return happening along side all of this Chiron stuff (and Pluto’s return happening in the natal 2nd House, and natal Chiron and natal Pluto loosely squaring one another). Interesting times….lol, just interesting fucking times.
