Who will be the next Alexander Hamilton? I explore this question and the future of US currency in my latest SS: bethwatsonfinastrologer.substack.com/p/while-ever...

The Fed will be having an October conference on 'payment innovations'. AKA they will be feeling out the general response/reaction to cryptocurrency (aka Fedcoin). The head of Social Security previously owned and ran a payment processing company that dealt in upgrading companies to crypto payments.

Neat fun fact: The same men (The Fed board) that decide the interest rates that move the stock market are allowed to trade on that same market.

Late January is when Neptune makes its final ingress out of Pisces into Aries, which coincides with economist predictions of a major economic reckoning in ~ 6 months. One hell of a wake-up call.

There may be a short window before/after the Fed decision to get in on some stock action. Look to your 2nd/8th for guidance! open.substack.com/pub/bethwats...

Jerome Powell, steadfast in his reluctance to lower interest rates, teased just before the ghost eclipse in Virgo (Aug 23rd) that he will likely lower interest rates. (Folding like a cheap lawn chair under the weight of this administration.) It is interesting to note how this story might play out.

I now have consultations available for a limited time. Let's chat! cal.com/bethwatsonas...

I just started tracking Neptune cycles for stock picks and price behavior, and it has been super helpful! open.substack.com/pub/bethwats...

A family debate right now: Is this an angry sheep or a cute happy one with blush?

What it's like having all air sign children. Me: It would be great if you guys got more into gardening, ya know, the great outdoors! *All 3 kids become obsessed with the game Grow a Garden on Roblox. I mean, not exactly what I meant but uh, that works too. 😂

Been thinking a lot about the Zoot Suit Riots of 1943, when young Latino men were beaten in the streets by white servicemen while the cops mostly looked away or joined in. The media painted it as patriotism. The astrology at the time? Uranus in Gemini and Jupiter in Cancer.

Mars remediation on this dies Martis: Slicing up a giant red-fleshed fruit. Hells to the yeah.

12h Venus? Wasn't allowed to cut my knee length hair until adulthood. Lived in a prison of my mother's keeping until her passing. Yowza.

Saw this in a new book I'm reading. Woof.

At the winter solstice last year, in the dark and cold, I reminded myself that nothing lasts forever and Litha was just around the corner. It ironically feels dark and cold again, even on the sunniest day of the year, but we will get through these times. Nothing lasts forever.

I've always been drawn to cats. I didnt even know I was a Leo Sun until high school, or a Leo rising until I met Patrick. I had pictures of kittens plastered to my wall as a kid, cat themed everything, had only cats as pets all my life, love head scratchies and of course use the weather kitty app 😸

Happy Father's Day to all who celebrate!

Astrology is a language. You can learn the rudiments fairly quickly, but it takes a long time, and a lot of practice, to learn to put it all together and "speak" it. And it takes even longer, and tons MORE practice, to speak it FLUENTLY. Don't get discouraged. Time, patience, persistence are key

I never thought I'd celebrate Mars entering my 2h, but after the last few months of this Rx and Mars' dalliance with my 1st and 12th, I will gladly take it.

Wall Street has officially coined this phenomenon TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) 😅

#NORWAC photo dump!

Seeing Demetra George's talk today about women in astrology reminded me of a post I made on Twitter a while back about Heliodora.

It's been so fantastic/wild meeting all my online astro friends in person. It feels like an irl internet café. 😅

Don't overlook your Lot of Debt, which highlights areas of financial challenges. This is as important to your finances as your Lot of Wealth.

My dad is SUCH a Virgo! 😅

Your natal chart will always outperform any market indicators.

You will never convince someone to care for you by giving them more of what they already don't respect or value. 💜

Not trading advice BUT it does appear as tho the market reacts to anything 47 says. One could absolutely use this to their financial advantage. It pains me to admit, but he is in full control of market prices. Traders are so disappointingly predictable.

If you see this, post the most recent photo of yourself from your camera roll. My daughter and I on Beltane!

The NEA folded like a cheap lawn chair. Jfc.

A nice shot of the dandelions before they turn to white wish sticks! 🥰

New SS open.substack.com/pub/bethwats...

Our babies touching grass for the first time.

Scorpio Mercury can be penetrating and perceptive when it chooses to be, but when it’s unchecked it’s just sharpness for the sake of control.

"Yes, the world is falling apart. But I am still here. And right now, my body needs care, not chaos." A friend of mine told me to say this mantra to myself when I am feeling anxious, which is like, all the time now. Just thought I'd share.

Honestly I would die too if I had to spend 15 minutes in a room alone with JD Vance.

Venus conjunct Saturn in the 8h = getting 5 extra fruit trees in your order by mistake, but having to then dig 5 extra holes for said trees.

Having no air in your chart and being asked about hypotheticals/thought experiments:

Timeline cleanse. Our new sleepy baby chicks!

Russian ballet dancer Ksenia Karelina was detained in Yekaterinburg on June 20, 2024 when Uranus was at 25* 13' Taurus. It has now returned to that exact degree, this time sextile Saturn and Venus Rx, and the decision to keep her imprisoned has been reversed and she is on a plan back to the US.

My MIL wrote this quote for the kids on their dance board downstairs, and it seriously slaps.

Hedge for hyperinflation, guys. Today. Do it today.

Apparently (my yearly ruler) Merc Rx conjunct the NN in Pisces in the 8th = flash flood in my basement, undoing the work I've put in the last few weeks. The astro looks shite for the insurance company coming through. Bruhhhhh. 😅😭

The substitutions from Kroger are getting out of hand.

This Solar Eclipse in Aries will wrap up a story that started April 20, 2023. Most interesting however, is how it will land on the Uranus of Gen Alpha elders. This could ignite a fire in this generation, bring something to light they've yet to see, but that has been building for the last two years.

After an incredibly cathartic morning, I'm now using this Venus Cazimi to do a restock on all my lotions and potions.

Just watched a squirrel carry a piece of pizza all the way up to the top of a tree and, very proudly, snarf the whole slice in under a minute. Ah the wonders of nature!
