WTF astrology season are we in?!

I’ve written about yods and skipped steps and deep space anomalies, and somehow never covered this. So: Astrology Seasons – WTF astrology season are we in and WTF is an “astrology season” in the first place? In the most basic sense of the word, the astrology season we are in at any given time depends on the time of year we’re talking about and where the transit Sun happens to be. List below for rough dates (though, keep in mind that these ARE NOT firm dates – to know EXACTLY where the transiting Sun throughout the year, you will need to consult an EPHEMERIS) and a few keywords (albeit not all of the keywords) for the energy of each season:

So….what does any of this mean (lololol)? Well, during the different astrology seasons we go through each year, you might notice that the collective takes on the different traits of the various keywords for each of the astrological signs or that these theme somehow come up in a collective context. Sometimes these themes are in your face, such as when Roe v Wade was overturned on June 24, 2022 during Cancer Season.

How do you apply this personally?

Most of of us tend to have times of the year that we like more than others. This is pretty personal, and often-times can be explained by what the transiting Sun is doing to your natal chart (the transit Sun is how we know what astrological season we find ourselves in). Not only what planets the transiting Sun is activating in your astrology chart by the aspects it makes to said planets, but also by what house the transiting Sun is transiting. This is also very personal and depends on how you relate and feel about the different houses in your chart. For instance, while I have a deep appreciation for the 8th House and find it fascinating, I have a difficult time during Cancer season which is when the transiting Sun is lighting up my 8th House. You might have a VERY different relationship to the season that lights up your 8th House.

“Lighting up the House” is another thing to consider. The Sun is quite literally a bright-ass light illuminating whatever house it’s transiting in your chart. A good way to work with the energy of whatever astrology season going on is to apply it to the different house “areas of life” that the transiting Sun is lighting up in your chart. For instance, as I’m writing this blog post it’s Virgo season. Look at where (what house/s) Virgo is in your astrology chart, which will tell you what areas of life are being activated by the transit Sun during this season. Is the 10th House activated? This might point at organizing something within your career. Is the 5th House activated? This might point at perfecting something about the way you creatively express yourself. These are just ideas/examples, but you get the idea.

Not sure WTF your astrology chart even looks like?! Head to astro.com (it’s a great free resource!), create an account, put in your information, and cast your chart.

You can take the notion of astrology seasons even further when you apply the decans.

If you aren’t familiar with WTF decans are, they are when you divide the 30° of each sign (or astrology season) into 3 segments that are 10°a piece. Essentially, each sign spans 30° and when the transit sun falls in that sign it takes on the energy of that sign. However, it also takes on the sign & planetary energy of whatever decan it happens to fall at any given time as a secondary influence. The first decan of a sign is from 0° to 10°, the second decan of a sign is from 10° to 20°, and the third decan of a sign is from 20° to 30° of a sign. For instance, currently while writing this post, the transiting Sun is at 26° Virgo. While we are IN Virgo season, we are also in the third decan of Virgo which correlates with Taurus energy (Venus) as a sub-season or secondary influence.

WTF can you do with decans beyond answering “what astrology season are we in”?

SO MUCH! Decans can be used to add another layer to your personal astrology chart. Have you ever seen posts on social media that distinguish between, say, April-born Taurus people and May-born Taurus people (essentially claiming they are different “breeds” of Taurus)? Decans are partly responsible for this…because there IS a difference between someone born in the first decan of Taurus v the third decan of Taurus (one is Taurus/Venus coded while the other has the Capricorn/Saturn sub-influence). You can extend the use of decans out to other planets beyond the Sun for deeper understanding. For instance, my Moon is at 16° in the second decan of Capricorn. So while my Moon IS in Capricorn (under that season), it does have Taurus/Venus sub-influence. That Taurus/Venus sub-influence will cause my Moon in Capricorn to function differently than someone with their Moon in the first or third decans of Capricorn.

You might notice the tie-in with the word “season” and the name of my astrology practice Saturn Season Astrology, and wonder if there is any correlation between the name of my practice and the astrology seasons. There are several reasons why I named my business what I did, but one of them IS because I am very fond of BOTH Capricorn & Aquarius seasons during the year….both of which are ruled by Saturn (thus…Saturn Season).
