Neptune entered Aries today, and already the parallels from the last time it did that in 1861 are chilling

The prayer of the Stoic Cleanthes: Guide me, God, and you, Fate, Whatever path you have assigned me, I am ready to follow. But if I refuse, having lost my courage, I am still bound to follow.

Mars-Pluto conjunction building now

Astrology plays a notable role in early Christianity, with the Gospel of Matthew saying that a group of astrologers followed an astrological omen that signified the birth of Jesus, and Luke saying an eclipse happened at Jesus's death.

Today is celebrated by some Christians as Three Kings Day to commemorate the Magi visiting Jesus after he was born, and in the Spanish speaking world this has become a day to celebrate astrology and astrologers in general.

Harriet Beecher Stowe was born under a Mars-Uranus conjunction in 1811 that coincided with the largest largest slave rebellion in U.S. history, and then she began publishing Uncle Tom's Cabin under a Mars-Uranus conjunction in 1851.

8 US history events on Mars-Uranus conjunctions ⚡1776: Declaration of Independence ⚡1782: Revolutionary War peace talks begin ⚡1861: Civil War begins ⚡1865: House abolishes slavery ⚡1865: Civil War ends ⚡1945: Atomic bombing of Japan, end of WWII ⚡1949: First Soviet nuclear test ⚡1992: Cold War ends

What do the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the start of the Civil War, and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima all have in common? They all occurred during a Mars-Uranus conjunction in Gemini, the same planetary alignment that returns to the sky on July 4, 2026.

Leisa and I just released our 2026 Electional Astrology Report! In the report we highlight the two most fortunate dates and electional charts for each month of next year!

If a person is born under a specific celestial alignment, then important moments in their life will happen when the same celestial alignment reoccurs in the sky.

This Mercury retrograde has afforded me many great opportunities to say I told you so

How is the Mercury retrograde going for everyone?

Ironically the extent to which a person can override certain difficult placements in the birth chart is often indicated in the chart itself.

November astrology calendar

We open by discussing news stories like the Louvre heist that happened right on the Mercury-Mars conjunction, and how Pluto's first direct station in Aquarius coincided with a company going viral for launching a robot for people's homes.

No, your zodiac sign hasn't changed: youtu.be/2KPfvsYPv9I

Update on the podcast website:

When a planet retrogrades across the boundary between two zodiac signs, it will sometimes connect the house topics associated with those two whole sign houses in your birth chart. I'm collecting examples, so think about recent retrogrades and let me know if you have a good one!

Ironically even though comets are one of the oldest celestial phenomena studied by astrologers, they are one of the least understood today, but that is changing now:

Thanks for watching or listening for 500 episodes!

Why the filming of Back to the Future is a perfect example of Mercury retrograde periods:

This is my adaptation of an old astrological poem that can be traced back to the 17th century in different versions. Show me how you would adapt the poem in your own language.

The first house signifies life, the second wealth does give; The third, siblings, fourth, how parents live; Children the fifth, sixth illnesses bring; The seventh relationships, and the eighth death's sting;

Uranus moving into Gemini provides a great opportunity to reflect on what its transit through Taurus meant for you. What whole sign house was Uranus transiting in your chart over the past 7 years, and what changes did you experience in that area of your life?

In this episode I discuss how Luke Broughton was the first astrologer to discover the Uranus return pattern right as the US was on the cusp of the Civil War in 1861, and then Evangeline Adams used it to predict World War II a decade before it happened:

The three most important wars in US history happened when Uranus was in Gemini, and Uranus just returned to Gemini today

Unfortunately right on time

Go outside tonight just after sunset and look west to see the conjunction between Mars and Regulus.

I can't believe that the Saturn-Neptune conjunction is already going to be within a degree soon, and things are getting pretty weird out there with some of the AI video stuff

Still in total disbelief but earlier this week I recorded an episode of @astrologypodcast.bsky.social I am beyond honored to say that I got to join the incredible Chris Brennan and share some of the research that I’ve been doing over the last year on this Venus Retrograde and queer history!

A deep dive into Saturn-Neptune conjunctions, where we uncover how these alignments have coincided with important turning points in history over the past 2500 years: youtu.be/eCLto1i-Cxk

A recap of the highlights of the 2025 Oscars from an astrological perspective: youtu.be/BamB04H6hXE

Haha the Venus retrograde just hit the Oscars! It was being livestreamed for the first time, but the Hulu feed ended just as they were announcing best actress.

I did a roundup of recent news stories that are repetitions of past events due to the 8-year retrograde cycle of Venus: youtu.be/0rOzqbnz9BM

There are so many 8 year repetitions in the news lately, and in this episode we show how these patterns stretch back more than 100 years

TikTok shut down tonight—almost exactly 8 years to the day since Vine closed on January 17, 2017. One Venus cycle ago. A perfect repetition.

The sense of dread on TikTok is palpably increasing as the Sun-Pluto conjunction gets closer

Demi Moore and Jodie Foster being born a week apart and winning an award the same night demonstrates the concept of time twins, that sometimes people born close together share a similar destiny

Demi Moore and Jodie Foster both won Golden Globe awards tonight, and they were born a week apart in October 1962, both with Jupiter ruling their Ascendant, and Venus conjoined their Jupiter tonight at 3 Pisces.

8th House stuff. 8th House is your back-of-house, behind-the-scenes stuff. It’s where the sausage (or content) is made. I just got my posters from The Astrology Podcast and got them put up during @chrisbrennan.bsky.social’s webinar about mitigating factors today.
