Posted on by Taylor Kruse

Celestial Beta, a horoscope tailored specifically to the needs of Subject Athletes going Inside The Outside. Written every month by Astrologer, Torrence Tremayne. If you’re an Endurance Cult Member, Rat, Sky Runner, All Terrain Bicycler, Orienteer, Privateer, Dead Reckoner, Future Naturer, Vortexual, Recreationalist, Merv, Randonerd, road cycler or similar please use and enjoy this horoscope designed to help you push your physical, spiritual, mental and emotional limits while maintaining optimal PMA. From PBs and FKTs to (Type 5 Fun) Transcendence, we’re committed to get the timing right.

ARIES & ARIES RISING

The month begins with a colorful bang as Venus’ retrograde in your Leo Fifth House of Endurance Pursuits, play and pleasure ends on September 3rd. Have there been any conflicts or complications within your crews and clubs since late July? If so, this would be a direct consequence of Venus’ retrograde, the planet of relationship, opposing the house of group participation. While fun for fun’s sake (Type 1 Fun) returns and there could be more clarity socially, EMOTIONS may remain on high, as Mars the planet of discord is now in your Libra Seventh House of partnerships. If you’ve reconsidered any associations during the Venus retrograde, now is the time to cut loose ends and make a clean break. The mundane side of life such as health habits, chores, labor and duties, is where most of your MENTAL focus lies this month, as your Virgo Sixth House is lit up throughout September. A New Moon in Virgo occurs on September 14th, while Mercury’s retrograde in Virgo ends on the 15th, clearing brain fog, offering diagnoses to problems, recalibrating broken systems and bringing much needed order back to your calendar. On September 19th, the insightful Sun in Virgo opposes nebulous Neptune in your Pisces Twelfth House, so be mindful of escapism, disillusionment or SPIRITUAL bypassing that detracts from your ability to attend to critical work and duties. Neptune distracts but if you’re able to remain determined and maintain focus, opportunities for personal empowerment, career advancement and even financial prosperity arise during the last week of the month. As September closes, there is a fierce and refreshing Aries New Moon in your sign and PHYSICAL First House on the 29th, a fantastic time to seek out bold and innovative new approaches to Metaphysical Fitness and wellbeing — e.g Forest Parkour and Fall Lining. 

TAURUS & TAURUS RISING

After a retrograde that began in late July, your beautiful ruler, Venus, planet of love, devotion, harmony and desire, goes direct in your Leo Fourth House on September 3rd. With Venus in the house of your foundations, private life and internal world, you may be emerging from a period during which you’ve reevaluated the EMOTIONAL patterning inherited from your family of origin. Discussing your relationships with them in therapy and googling pop-psychology concepts such as attachment theory, may have featured prominently over the past couple months. This exploration is likely to continue, except with the focus turned inward towards the self. Jupiter begins its own retrograde phase in your sign on September 4th through the end of the year. The expansive and sage qualities of Jupiter are internalized and Taureans are encouraged to embrace self-discovery, personal growth and inner wisdom. Cultivating a pragmatic optimism, seeking MENTAL health support and comprehensive approaches to self-development, are all well supported during Jupiter’s retrograde in your sign. Your PHYSICAL wellbeing is also up for a productive turnaround, as a New Moon in your Virgo Fifth House of Endurance Pursuits, play and celebration on September 14th, resets your event calendar. The following day, September 15th, Mercury’s retrograde ends and with direct motion, the trickster planet of fun and games invites recreation back into your life. If you found the Mercury retrograde that began late last month to be a bit ho-hum and lacking in thrills, the second half of September is an ideal time to connect with your crew and lock down some Modes and Zones. The month closes with a powerful opportunity for SPIRITUAL reflection, as the Aries Full Moon arrives in your quiet and contemplative Twelfth House on September 29th. A solitary journey off the beaten path, whether in nature or intense meditative practice, offers a unique opportunity to find sanctuary within.

GEMINI & GEMINI RISING

Jupiter begins its retrograde on September 4th in your Taurus Twelfth House of resignation, weaknesses, introspection, rest and seclusion until the end of the year. For Gemini, Jupiter’s retrograde offers a sort of SPIRITUAL redemption, an opportunity to uncover, absolve and integrate your shadow qualities; the positive and negative aspects of self that have been denied or suppressed. Although, to gain Jupiter’s reward of self-awareness, this transit does require some sacrifice that clashes with your extroverted nature. Making time for serious solitary retreat is the path toward Jupiter’s grace, so consider joining a mindfulness community to both satisfy your social nature and take advantage of this profound transit. Your ruler Mercury, is in your sister sign of Virgo, your Fourth House of foundations, roots, family and your EMOTIONAL core, throughout September. Beginning with the enlightening Sun-Mercury conjunction on September 6th, followed by the Virgo New Moon on the 14th and the end of Mercury’s Retrograde on the 15th, MENTAL clarity is at an all time high. Both the clarifying Sun and insightful Mercury make revelatory contacts with Uranus and Jupiter in your Twelfth House throughout September. These growth and development oriented aspects initiate a sober assessment of your strengths and weaknesses, as well as a deeper examination of your personal character that could lead to incredible empowerment and leaps in maturity by the year’s end. And if you need to blow off some steam, courageous warrior and Subject Athlete, Mars, has entered the Cardiogothic  Sports arena that is your Libra Fifth House of celebration, recreation and creativity, remaining here until October 12th. This can be a fun and PHYSICALLY exciting transit, sure to elicit lots of epic joy with friends while Endurance Pursuiting. 

CANCER & CANCER RISING

Cancerians are deeply sensitive and intensely perceptive, so the EMOTIONAL turbulence that can be brought about by Mars in your Fourth House of foundations, the internal world and private life should be character enhancing, rather than troublesome this month. The issues you’re encountering may feel somewhat obscure, yet related to your upbringing and even ancestral heritage! At the Autumn Equinox on September 23rd, the enlightening Sun enters Libra and makes these matters clearly intelligible. Enlisting the assistance of a therapist or spiritual guide to help anchor you through this inner whirlwind is well advised until Mars leaves Libra on October 12th. Venus, planet of desire and sensory pleasure, ends her retrograde in your Leo Second House of PHYSICAL sustenance on September 3rd, so if you’ve reconfigured your diet or it has gotten off track since late July, that should return to normal. The conjunction of the Sun and retrograde Mercury in your Virgo Third House of MENTAL processes and routines on September 6th, is a complementary opportunity to unearth detrimental patterns and outworn ideas, bringing them to light for release. The Virgo New Moon on September 14th and the end of Mercury’s retrograde on September 15th, furthers the insights you’re experiencing and represents an auspicious tabula rasa moment for your mindset. On September 19th, the demystifying Virgo Sun opposes Neptune in Pisces, breaking any lingering SPIRITUAL illusions and re-establishing your grip on reality post-Mercury retrograde. With Mercury making beneficial aspects to Jupiter and Uranus in your Taurus Eleventh House throughout September, this is an excellent time to strategize how you will expand and innovate your social media presence (become a Subject Athlete for MSO?) approach to networking and the types of communities that you participate in. 

LEO & LEO RISING

Regal Leo’s are finally relieved of Venus’ retrograde in your sign on September 3rd. Since July 23rd, you’ve had the planet of relationship, pleasure, harmony and equity in the part of your chart related to vitality, temperament, self-concept and the PHYSICAL body. This retrograde period for Venus, is one during which Leo’s have potentially encountered fluctuations in energy, issues of inequality, reconsiderations of aesthetic values or appearance, and major shifts in important relationships. There may have been difficult conclusions, unexpected reunions or reconciliations with partners, family members or friends. If you experienced EMOTIONAL hardship during the retrograde, a confidence boosting Venus-Jupiter square on September 17th, followed by the entry of the revitalizing Sun into your Venus-ruled, Libra Third House of mindset on September 23rd, finally ushers in a bright side! The end of compassionate Venus’ retrograde in your sign indicates that after a character-building period of serious reflection, self-love will be at an all time high! This month your MENTAL focus is on Second House topics such as money, earnings and material possessions, as currency and commerce planet Mercury ends its retrograde in your Virgo Second House on September 15th. Additionally, there is a Virgo New Moon in your Second House the day prior, September 14th, indicating a reassessment of your financial circumstances and goals, leading to a newly inspired outlook coupled with a clever, empowering strategy. September ends on a SPIRITUALLY rousing note, as a rebellious Aries Full Moon coalesces in your metaphysical Ninth House of worldview and philosophy. After a tough few months for lions, it’s time to unapologetically shed outmoded and detrimental belief systems that have held you back from expressing your most authentic self. At this time, choose to be bold and courageous, embody and speak your truth!

VIRGO & VIRGO RISING

Virgo is truly the main character of September 2023. Your ruler, the nimble planet of intellect and insight, Mercury, is exalted in your sign throughout the month, making expansive aspects to grounded sage Jupiter and earth-quaking Uranus, in Taurus. Additionally, the regal Sun journeys through your sign until the Autumn Equinox in Libra on September 23rd. If you’ve been feeling PHYSICAL burnout due to Mercury’s retrograde that began in late August, the meeting of your ruler with the vitalizing Sun on September 6th, revives you. September 8th-15th could be particularly fruitful, when the Sun makes its most direct aspects to Jupiter and Uranus in your Taurus Ninth House of philosophy and worldview. A maverick impulse to integrate pleasure and the SPIRITUAL power of our Earth Mother into your value set takes center stage. You may find that previously inconceivable insights regarding your own potential and life’s purpose come to fore, especially as related to nature and the divine feminine. This comes to a head on September 14th and 15th, as the Virgo New Moon and the end of Mercury’s retrograde in your sign occur back-to-back. The middle of the month is beautifully revolutionary in terms of your self concept. The New Moon and the direct motion of your ruling planet represent a rebirth for Virgoans: physical, spiritual and EMOTIONAL renewal! After this period, your mindset is next up as Mercury, planet of cognition, comes back online and you find your MENTAL faculties resharpening. During the last quarter of September, broaden your imagination as quicksilver Mercury makes its most intensely positive contacts with wise Jupiter and innovative Uranus. Between September 25th and 30th, expect to be struck with sudden sparks of brilliance, galvanizing visions and leftfield strategies to move your life forward in an exciting new direction.

LIBRA & LIBRA RISING

An urge for accomplishment begins to take hold this month with courageous Mars now in Libra, as of the end of August. Since unruly Mars is uncomfortable in your moderate sign, PHYSICAL wellness and athletic prowess must be attained through creative means. As advised last month, activities which harmonize bodily systems, such as yoga or energy work, serve you well. The presence of the diffusive South Node in your sign since late July has potentially been tiring and even MENTALLY distractive, yet while Mars is in Libra, the South Node helps temper his worst excesses. Mars in your sign relates to inflammation, discontent and irritability, though fortunately, the South Node decreases the harmful qualities of malefic planets. Considering that your ruler, Venus, ends her retrograde on September 3rd, this is a wonderful month to deeply contemplate your own desires and how they are further conceptualized through your social aspirations and relationship goals. Ongoings in your Virgo Twelfth House are supportive to this process, including a Sun-Mercury conjunction on September 6th, Virgo New Moon on September 14th and the end of Mercury retrograde on September 15th. Mercury rules Virgo and your SPIRITUAL Gemini Ninth House, so these developments indicate enlightening clarity and internal renewal through dedicated introspective practice. The Sun’s annual return to your sign on September 23rd at the Autumn Equinox imbues you with self-awareness and confidence that comes to bear at the Aries Full Moon in your interpersonal Seventh House on September 29th. This Full Moon brings an EMOTIONAL consummation in your partnerships which for many Librans, could come in the form of assertively reclaiming one’s agency in an unfair or long-suffered, relationship dynamic. 

SCORPIO & SCORPIO RISING

Scorpio’s finally feel the love when it comes to public relations this month, as Venus ends her retrograde in your Tenth House of professional image and reputation on September 3rd. Venus will see to it that you are well received and as she also rules your Seventh House of business partnerships, expect to recommence negotiations and collaborations that may have been in stasis since late July. Although, refrain from getting materially invested just yet, as Jupiter begins its own retrograde in your Taurus Seventh House on September 4th. Jupiter is the planet of fortune, benefit and favor, so the optimism and easy success you’ve had in platonic, commercial and EMOTIONALLY intimate relationships since it entered Taurus in May, slows down in favor of deeper reflection on shared values, reevaluating relationship dynamics and seeking more meaningful connections. Relational themes consume most of your MENTAL real estate this month, as discerning Mercury, planet of cognition and communication is in your pragmatic Virgo Eleventh House of social ideals, organizations, teams and networks. With a conjunction of the chief executive Sun and troubleshooter Mercury on September 6th, followed by the Virgo New Moon on the 14th and the end of Mercury’s retrograde on the 15th, your SPIRITUAL work for September is to discern your rightful place amongst your communities and (humbly) assume leadership where needed. Consider, what are you best suited to contribute to humanity, how will you achieve it and who will you partner with? Virgo is a sign of service, so with the Virgo Sun and Mercury making generous aspects to magnanimous Jupiter and progressive Uranus in your Taurus partnership house, it’s time to enlist others for your humanitarian venture! The month closes with an Aries Full Moon on September 29th, spotlighting your PHYSICAL wellbeing; an ideal day for completing Sub24O or checking-in on PB. 

SAGITTARIUS & SAGITTARIUS RISING

Centaurs get camera ready, as you should expect to be on stage and in the public eye throughout the month. Mars is now in your Libra Eleventh House of social networks, teams and organizations blazing new trails amongst your circles. Get out there and boldly connect, just try not to come on too strong! Your ruler, sagacious Jupiter, goes retrograde in your Taurus Sixth House of PHYSICAL health, fitness programs and daily duties on September 4th. As the planet of positive development takes an inward turn, it’s time to honestly explore if your current wellness practices and coaches are helping you reach your utmost potential? Favorably, events in your Virgo Tenth House of public life, achievements, recognition and reputation this month, are supportive and should help define your goals in all aspects of life. Mercury, signifier of MENTAL processes, communication and versatility, is especially strong in Virgo and meets the Sun, signifier of excellence and leadership on September 6th. Advancement in your career, acknowledgment of accomplishment and high visibility takes hold from this point in the month, followed by an EMOTIONALLY illuminative Virgo New Moon on September 14th and the end of Mercury’s retrograde the next day, September 15th. With ongoing positive contacts from fortunate Jupiter and ingenious Uranus in your work life house, this month promises surprising progress and professional growth. And as the attention grabbing Sun joins hard-charger Mars in your Libra Eleventh House on September 23rd, if you’ve ever considered becoming an MSO Subject Athlete and furthering your presence online, this is the month to take on the challenge! September wraps with an Aries Full Moon in your Fifth House of recreation and celebration. Thanks to an enthusiastic aspect to Venus in your SPIRITUAL Leo Ninth House, embracing your inner child through sport is your metaphysical key to source. You’ve worked hard to play hard, Sag! 

CAPRICORN & CAPRICORN RISING

September is a month of SPIRITUAL discovery, knowledge seeking and reassessment of your belief systems, sea goats. If you’ve felt like you’ve lost the plot and that your overarching sense of purpose has been thwarted recently, this is likely related to Mercury’s redefining retrograde phase that began on August 23rd. On September 6th, retrograde Mercury, planet of learning and insight, ruler of Virgo, meets the enlightening Sun in your Virgo Ninth House of worldview, spirituality, distant journeys and philosophy. A metaphysical flame is rekindled at this conjunction. All throughout the month Mercury makes harmonious aspects to unorthodox Uranus and sagacious Jupiter in your Taurus Fifth House of play, PHYSICAL pursuits, artistry and recreation, suggesting that tapping into the creative wisdom of your inner child, can reanimate your sense of purpose. The Virgo New Moon on September 14th, followed by Mercury going direct the next day, marks a major turning point. Your MENTAL outlook is refined and you are invited to reconceive your existential role in the cosmos. While this sounds like a tall order, be patient with yourself, as there is no rush! Mystical Jupiter imparts impeccable vibes upon your journey and begins its own retrograde on September 4th through the end of December, giving you plenty of time to reawaken the aspirations and abundant wisdom of your inner child. On September 29th, an EMOTIONALLY intense Aries Full Moon in your Fourth House of foundations, roots and inner life, directs your attention and energy to your home and family. Rest and recuperation are paramount on this day. An important climax or culmination occurs and you are drawn away from public life to tend to that which matters most. 

AQUARIUS & AQUARIUS RISING

September is an intense and psychologically gripping month for typically unaffected Aquarians. At the onset, cutting Mars is in your Libra Ninth House of SPIRITUALITY, teachers, higher education and worldview until early October. The planet of strife and severance in this part of your chart signifies anxiety or disturbance regarding one’s belief systems and sense of life purpose. This could be likened to a classic existential dilemma, as you may decide to end an association with a school of thought, metaPHYSICAL perspective, mentor or guide at this time. Mars in Libra is an uncomfortable transit, as Libra is a calm and cool sign devoted to balance, while fiery Mars disrupts, so passions can run hot and cold here. With that in mind, temperance and persistence serve better than overzealous action this month. Don’t be too quick to burn bridges, as you just might need them again down the road. As alluded to, September features the conjunction of the galvanizing Sun and critical Mercury on September 6th, followed by the Virgo New Moon on the 14th and the end of Mercury’s retrograde on the 15th in your Virgo Eighth House of crisis, transmutation, shared resources, mystery, death and rebirth. In the Eighth House we move through ordeals, difficult experiences that are often associated with MENTAL and EMOTIONAL distress. These esoteric transits in Virgo indicate that for Aquarians, surfing the shifting sands of liminality can lead one to cathartic breakthroughs beyond your wildest imaginings. Harmonious aspects from your rooted Taurus Fourth House to your Virgo Eighth House ensure that you will not lose your footing. So let off the brakes and surrender the entanglements which are past their expiration date in your life; your true inheritance will be reborn of its own accord. 

PISCES & PISCES RISING

On September 3rd, Venus, in your Leo Sixth House of service, labor, obligations and PHYSICAL health habits, is finally direct! As Venus retrograde ends, it’s time to commit to a new relationship with your Metaphysical Fitness Program. It’s likely that you’ve been reevaluating and experimenting with changes and updates to your program since late July but now, finally, you’re ready to commit, level-up and follow through. Whatever modes, goals and programs you dial into, just remember that Venus demands passion, so be sure it aligns and delivers Physically, Spiritually, Mentally and Emotionally. On September 4th, your ruler Jupiter, planet of wisdom, magnanimity and fortune, begins a retrograde phase which lasts until the new year. As Jupiter’s retrograde is in your Third House of MENTAL patterns, not only is this a period of tremendous inspiration and existential musing, it is also a time to reconcile your thought processes, mindset and communication style. While retrogrades typically sound concerning, this is a wonderful time for Pisces to reassess your beliefs, pursue deep study, contemplate your ventures and revisit overlooked opportunities. Pisceans are known for their EMOTIONAL sensitivity and gentle, SPIRITUAL nature, though this month you are called to buck convention and boldly claim your voice! On September 14th, there is a New Moon in your Virgo Seventh House of interpersonal and business relationships. The next day, retrograde Mercury in Virgo, the messenger planet of communication, goes direct. While you are more apt to hold your tongue to keep the peace, you could feel called to express your honest thoughts more directly within relationships. A new way of relating to others is on offer, one in which empathy leads the way, self-delusion holds no place and being forthright comes easily.

ARIES & ARIES RISING

Your rambunctious ruler, Mars, spends most of August in your Virgo Sixth House of labor, health routines and service. The Sixth House is the place of illness and PHYSICAL injury, so best to be especially discerning and cautious in Endurance Pursuits, Metaphysical Fitness Modes and going Inside The Outside.. Mars is a wildcard, so while co-present with the critical technician, Mercury, be sure to maintain consistent practice and listen to your Guides.! Being overly prepared, as well as following all rules and regulations will be to your benefit. This is especially critical when Mercury retrogrades in Virgo from August 23rd – September 1st, bringing scrutinous attention and MENTAL concern to your wellbeing and work habits. While all of this may sound extremely dull to you thrill seeking rams, on August 13th the exemplary Sun in Leo and retrograde Venus in Leo meet in your Fifth House of Play, recreation, artistry and sports. This conjunction brings EMOTIONALLY dramatic thrills, youthful excitement and pleasure for pleasure’s sake. Since Venus is retrograde, consider that which sparked joy for you in the past, even in childhood, can be brought into your present for reappraisal. August 22nd is an especially auspicious day to invest in your passions, thanks to a challenging but constructive conversation between theatrical, yet authentic, Venus in Leo and abundant Jupiter in Taurus. Earning a liveable income from the arts, entertainment or sports feels more feasible through the latter half of the month. With August 30th’s Pisces Full Moon in your solitudinous and introspective Twelfth House, seek rest and SPIRITUAL contemplation, to ground internally after a very extroverted month. 

TAURUS & TAURUS RISING

A major month for Taureans, August begins with a momentous Aquarius Full Moon in your Tenth House of public achievement and recognition. Victory in contests or tournaments is indicated at this time, as glorious Mars in your Fifth House of sport and recreation, makes a fortuitous contact with Jupiter in your PHYSICAL First House. The only caveat is that you could run into some roadblocks with your team, others could resist your execution of strategy, so be flexible! SPIRITUAL experiences this month are meant to be eternalized and embodied. The illuminative Sun travels through its domicile Leo until August 23rd shining its light in your foundational and private Fourth House, encouraging you to explore your innermost depths. Generative aspects from the Sun and relational Venus to sage Jupiter in your sign, indicates the deepening of wisdom through greater intimacy with your roots and subsequently, your core self. EMOTIONAL rewards are quite potent between August 13th and 16th. The Leo Sun and retrograde Venus meet on the 13th, offering enlightening and potentially healing insights regarding your relationship to your home, family and upbringing. By August 16th a New Moon in Leo, sparks the birth of a wholly new and enriched orientation to these aspects of life. In the latter quarter of the month, especially after August 23rd, your mindset shifts with the entry of the Virgo Sun into your Fifth House! MENTAL Mercury in your Fifth House of athletics and celebration, calls you to reconsider and recalibrate your Metaphysical Fitness, Endurance and Ultra life. You may question your recreational interests at this time, so don’t be surprised if you decide to parlay into an entirely new pursuit or even more likely, pick up one you left behind in the past! *This is maybe why you purchased an expensive but beautiful handcrafted surfmat from G-Mat Custom Surf Mats a year ago?

GEMINI & GEMINI ARISING

The Aquarius Full Moon on August 1st in your Ninth House of SPIRITUALITY and worldview, is both inspiring and substantiating regarding your big picture perspective. A solidification of your belief system is in order and you may find that some contemplation and solitude at home brings affirmative insights. Throughout the month, your ruler Mercury is in your sister sign Virgo, in your Fourth House of home and private life, opposing Saturn, planet of responsibility and seriousness in your Pisces Tenth House of public life and career. As Mercury is quite the busybody, this opposition could correlate with PHYSICAL burnout. Additionally, Mercury is retrograde from August 23rd until September 1st, so your energy levels could be especially inconsistent. Avoid bringing career issues home, with Mercury the planet of debate co-present with Mars in your Virgo Fourth House, disagreements or disputes as related to work-life balance are more likely. The first half of the month offers ideal conditions for private reflection and rest to relieve this stress, leading up to the Leo New Moon on August 16th, a powerful moment of MENTAL breakthrough. Issues of pride and ego, especially in relationships, are up for healing, as you are invited to renew your mindset and embrace healthy humility. The month ends on a profoundly existential note, as August 30th’s EMOTIONAL Pisces Full Moon in your Tenth House brings anxiety inducing challenges to your public life, potentially in the form of professional difficulties or reputational dilemmas. Take the lessons learned earlier in the month to heart and prioritize your peace. Quiet reflection and time spent with loved ones can be truly precious. 

CANCER & CANCER RISING

August 2023 is one of those rare calendar months which feature three potent lunar phases for your ruler, the Moon. The month kicks off with an Aquarius Full Moon in your Eighth House of taxing EMOTIONAL and material entanglements. While this Full Moon could bring upheaval, it is also a moment to accept the psychologically fortifying role that tribulations play in our lives. Existential questions color the whole of August, as Saturn, in your philosophical Pisces Ninth House, opposes inquisitive Mercury in your Virgo Third House of MENTAL patterns. While maybe not the best time to pursue psychedelic breakthroughs, it is a wonderful time for explicit clarity in therapy. Complimentary questions of self-regard and personal values will come to fore by the Leo New Moon in your Second House on August 16th. Alongside the retrograde Venus in Leo, this New Moon is all about learning to love oneself authentically and a new journey in regards to self-worth. If you find yourself feeling run down throughout this period, action oriented Mars enters your Libra Fourth House of roots and PHYSICAL foundation by August 27th. Mars in the Fourth House revitalizes and as it is the ruler of your Fifth House of sports and play, you should feel a renewed sense of adventure as well! The month ends with its final major lunar phase, a Pisces Full Moon in your Ninth House of SPIRITUALITY, philosophy and worldview. Continuing the existential themes, this Full Moon marks a hard-won attainment along your personal journey, a reasonable expansion of what you consider to be your purpose. This flowering marks an inspiring culmination of an internally onerous month. 

LEO & LEO RISING

It’s Leo Season! Venus, planet of romance, beauty and relation is now retrograde in your sign until September 3rd, encouraging a period of reevaluation and reappraisal regarding your values, self worth, partner choices and approach to connection. The Aquarius Full Moon in your interpersonal Seventh House of relationship and agreements on August 1st kicks off the month on an EMOTIONAL high, as a climax of feeling swells between yourself and partners. These aforementioned topics could be at fever pitch during this Full Moon. Though fret not, while you may encounter growing pains, these are likely to be fruitful and productive in nature. By the Leo New Moon on August 16th, lions are gifted with a PHYSICAL reset, revitalizing energy flows to your sign thanks to an electric contact with Uranus in Taurus. While outcomes look favorable for you, with fortuitous Jupiter present, be prepared for strange and unusual proceedings in competition or other public endeavors. Throughout this month and especially by the commencement of Mercury’s retrograde from August 23rd through September 1st, the lyrical phrase “I’ve got my mind on my money, my money on my mind” will be a visceral experience! Your MENTAL state is likely to be dominated by financial matters, with any anxieties being relieved once Mars leaves Virgo for Libra on August 27th. Mercury retrograde presents financial literacy as a personal challenge to overcome, gamify budgeting for maximum satisfaction! SPIRITUALLY, new horizons are opening, as the quickening and adventurous North Node is now journeying through your Aries Ninth House of belief systems. By the month’s end, be willing to let go of an outdated mindset and never look back, metaphysical insights are ahead for you!

VIRGO & VIRGO RISING

August is a potent time for Virgoans. The month begins with your ruler Mercury in your sign, giving you exceptional MENTAL clarity and discernment. During the first couple weeks of the month you may find that obstacles or conflicts in communication prompt an expansive reconsideration of your worldview. Both deconstructive Mars and discerning Mercury are in Virgo throughout August, in conversation with reassuring Jupiter and prudent Saturn. This combination of influences is especially rewarding when it comes to your big picture perspective on important relationships and collaborations. This fits well with the retrograde Venus in your Twelfth House, as EMOTIONAL connections that are draining or no longer serving you, can be disengaged. Though, this will require instigation on your part, so embrace Mars’ courage in your sign until the 27th. If you embrace solitude and self-reflection, between the Leo Sun-Venus conjunction on August 13th and the Leo New Moon on August 16th, ideal conditions are present to initiate a beautiful new sense of personal worth. Enlightening developments are actualized in regards to self-love on August 22nd, as retrograde Venus in your Twelfth House makes a formative contact with wisening Jupiter in your Taurus Ninth House of SPIRITUALITY. On August 23rd, the PHYSICALLY invigorating Sun enters your sign, beginning Virgo season. Yet, that same day, your ruler Mercury begins a retrograde in Virgo! On one hand you may feel inspired to go solo, be seen as special and seek personal glory, though you are challenged to do so in unorthodox ways; reflect on the past for informative insights. On August 30th, the Pisces Full Moon in your partnership zone, helps you let go of those who weigh you down and begin leading with confidence!

LIBRA & LIBRA RISING

The month of August provides potent opportunities for SPIRITUAL catharsis, generosity and inner healing for Librans. From the top of the month a beneficial contact between meditative Mercury in your Virgo Twelfth House of self-abnegation and austere Saturn in your Pisces Sixth House of service, offers you an ideal period to engage in charity and acts of goodwill. Meanwhile, until August 23rd when the enlightening Sun enters Virgo, a discomforting, yet ultimately liberatory, contact occurs between the Sun in your Leo Eleventh House of community and Jupiter in your Taurus Eighth House of entanglements. You may find yourself releasing obligations both materially and EMOTIONALLY that no longer serve. As your ruler Venus, planet of relationships and socializing, also aspects Jupiter and is retrograde in your Leo Eleventh House until September 3rd, you may even release previously important acquaintances or associations with groups of people, such as teams or organizations. Connections that you were once quite passionate about are reappraised during Venus’ retrograde. Mid-month, especially August 13th through 16th, marks a significant refresh of your alliances. In regards to challenges, the disembodying Dragon’s Tail (South Node) is now in your sign until January 2025, an energy sapping transit if you’re not mindful of your PHYSICAL limits. Clearing your calendar and lightening up your MENTAL load could help ease you out of a toxic grindset, as busybody Mercury is retrograde in your restful Virgo Twelfth House from August 23rd – September 1st. Mars follows up, entering your sign on the 27th. Seek out gentle practices like reiki that prioritize energetic harmony and balance within the body’s systems, the esoteric South Node supports this.

SCORPIO & SCORPIO RISING

An EMOTIONAL Full Moon in your Fourth House of home and origins, on August 1st, indicates completions as related to your internal experience and private life. This could indicate a change of PHYSICAL residence, property purchases or closure in familial relationships. This is an excellent time to savor retreat and cultivate connection with loved ones, as the rest of the month is spent attending to your outer world. A key theme for Scorpions this August is a reappraisal of your professional identity and discursions in your most visible public alliances. Venus is retrograde in your executive Leo Tenth House until September 3rd, and journeys here alongside the proud, status-seeking Sun until August 23rd. Humbling oneself and developing healthier ways to assert one’s ego in leadership and authority roles is most beneficial. In the first half of the month, you may experience productive friction in workplace or public relationships, as Venus and the Sun come into challenging aspects with maverick Uranus and sage Jupiter in your interpersonal Taurus Seventh House. A fresh and emancipatory MENTAL outlook arises at the August 16th, Leo New Moon, as a new conception of your public identity truly blooms. Despite conclusions of long-held collaborations early in the month, by the second half, transformative opportunities to gain clarity regarding the teams or organizations that best suit your authenticity abound. Mercury is retrograde in your Virgo Eleventh House, reassessing group involvements, until September 1st, as the Sun in Virgo sheds new light on alliances from August 23rd onward. The month closes with a SPIRITUALLY gratifying Pisces Full Moon on August 30th in your sporty Fifth House. Pursuing ecstatic play and approaching pleasure as your divine birthright can be profoundly healing.

SAGITTARIUS & SAGITTARIUS RISING

As August begins, you may find that you’re questioning your public role and what constitutes your reputation; think leadership positions, vocation or career. A Full Moon in your Aquarius Third House of MENTAL processes and communication on the 1st of the month, potentially launches you into deep self-inquiry regarding your purpose, an existential expansion. While professional growth is indicated throughout 2023 for Sagittarians, you may find the day-to-day work life feels a little more mid than usual — a virtual jail sentence for you adventurous souls! During the first week of the month the urge to communicate in an atypical fashion or express avant garde ideas is especially strong. Go with it, as uncomfortable as it could be for yourself or colleagues, it may be exactly what’s needed in your workplace and will also satisfy your need to push boundaries. By the week of August 13th, as the independent Sun and desirous Venus meet in your metaPHYSICAL Leo Ninth House of long-distance journeys and SPIRITUAL quests, it may be high time to embark on a solo trip. Venus is retrograde here until September, so no better way for you to reassess your worldview and relationship to the cosmos, than by going on a road trip, vacation or SUB24O overnighter! The Leo New Moon on August 16th presents exciting sparks of insight and new horizons in terms of your perspective on life and any lingering questions of purpose ought to turn into answers moving forward. As the month ends with a Pisces Full Moon in your Fourth House, your private life becomes a much needed EMOTIONAL sanctuary as you continue to experiment with and reconfigure your professional image and leadership style. Take careful and calculated risks for maximal results.

CAPRICORN & CAPRICORN RISING

As your ruler, Saturn, is retrograde throughout the month and Pluto is back in your First House, PHYSICAL wellbeing is of utmost importance. You may find that your energy levels have taken a hit due to your retrograde ruler; Saturn indicates sluggishness. Particularly this month, Pluto’s presence in your sign invites you to investigate deeper forms of metaphysical and holistic wellness, such as psychedelic therapy or energy work. Bridging your somatic wellbeing with your EMOTIONAL health is a transformative theme of August, as the illuminative Sun and a retrograde Venus journey through your Eighth House of psychological and material entanglements. You may discover that difficult relationships, including that which you have with yourself, require a reclamation or in some cases, a release, so that you can experience a healthier state of mind. The Leo Sun-Venus retrograde conjunction on August 13th, highlights values and desires within you that have questionable sources or may even cause you distress. It is in authentic, personal pursuit of thrills (aka Type 3 Extreme Fun) excitement and novelty, through which you may innovate your relationship to pleasure and desire. The Leo New Moon alongside Venus on August 16th, makes a groundbreaking contact with maverick Uranus in your playful and sporty Taurus Fifth House, birthing a newly eccentric value set and provocative recreational tastes. Mercury’s retrograde in your SPIRITUAL Virgo Ninth House from August 23-September 1st, stimulates a complimentary philosophical reconsideration. Parsing through the nitty gritty of your belief systems, leads to a MENTAL health awakening at the Pisces Full Moon on August 30th. Embracing a more fluid, expansive perspective, paradoxically opens one’s mind to more reasonable thought processes and effective decision making.

AQUARIUS RISING

A Full Moon in your sign begins the month on a reflective note. Culminations or completions as related to your personal identity, body and self-development are on the docket for Aquarians. Your ruler, Saturn, naturally governs this Full Moon and as Saturn is currently retrograde in your Pisces Second House of values, your own sense of self-worth is up for serious contemplation. Saturn inquires: are you self-sufficient, EMOTIONALLY resilient and PHYSICALLY self-regulated? This question resonates throughout the month, as the regal Leo Sun and charismatic, yet eccentric, retrograde Leo Venus, journey through your Seventh House of interpersonal relationships. The gallant and proudly independent Leo Sun, shines its spotlight on your partnerships and reception with others, while retrograde Venus reappraises the values on which you’ve built these bonds, through September 4th. MENTAL clarity regarding your attachment style and its roots in your upbringing is bound to come forth. The enlightening Sun and relational Venus, make insightful contacts with ingenious Uranus and wise Jupiter in your Taurus Fourth House of family and origins. These aspects are most potent during the middle of August, with a New Moon in your Leo Seventh House on August 16th, sparking a new dawn in your approach to relationships. Relatedly, the second half of the month could be quite healing. A Mercury retrograde in your Virgo Eighth House of psycho-SPIRITUAL entanglements beginning August 23rd, alongside the illuminating Sun entering Virgo that same day, points to the revelation and subsequent purgation of unhealthy tethers. With the discerning guidance of a coach or therapist, ghosts of toxic relationships past, can finally be surrendered to the light.

PISCES & PISCES RISING

Prioritizing solitude and introspection are quite auspicious as the month begins. A Twelfth House, Aquarius Full Moon, emphasizes the SPIRITUAL challenge that is engaging with your personal blindspots. You may find that your interpersonal relationships become the primary site in which you dance with these shadow qualities. The first part of August is character-building, as you deal with the consequences of the opposition of Saturn in your sign and Mercury in Virgo, a time in which communication challenges within interpersonal relationships feel most stark. Directly engaging won’t be entirely constructive, as oppositions have an obstinate nature. Although, by August 9th, a positive contact between conversational Mercury and constructive Jupiter in your Third House of MENTAL patterns and communication, opens doors. Your PHYSICAL wellness practices really take center stage in the middle of the month. On August 13th, a union of the illuminative Sun and retrograde Venus in your Sixth House, brings a profound reappraisal of your health and fitness routines. As Venus is involved, consider the relationships related to these practices, such as healthcare professionals, coaches, trainers, etc. These relationships will likely go through some change over the course of the retrograde that ends on September 4th. Whether switching allegiances or reviving those which resonated in the past, expect some reconsideration here. The month ends on an EMOTIONALLY empowering note, as antagonistic Mars finally departs your relational Seventh House and the enlightening Virgo Sun clarifies disputes or differences with others. Conscientiousness, coupled with a no-nonsense approach to divergence, allows you to feel a greater sense of wholeness, ownership or your feelings and personal satisfaction by the Pisces Full Moon on August 30th.

ARIES & ARIES RISING

The month kicks off with a union of the enlightening Sun and intellectual Mercury in your foundational Cancer Fourth House. Topics of the Fourth House include ancestry, family and private life, though we also find inherited subconscious patterns there. Let the Sun-Mercury conjunction clarify your source code! This lucidity is the ideal lead-in for the Capricorn Full Moon on July 3rd in your Tenth House of legacy, public image and achievement.

Repressed EMOTIONAL tension at home can be released and detoxified through candid dialogue. The July 17th Cancer New Moon closes this loop, providing fresh soil for flowering and nurturance in this private, interior space. You’ll appreciate this reset the following day, July 18th, as one of the most important transits of 2023 begins to bolster your PMA. The North Node enters your sign, while the South Node enters your Libra Seventh House of relationship. The exaggerating North Node in your First House places your focus squarely on self-development, with heroic PHYSICAL mastery being a vital component of this 18 month journey. Aries are entering their dragon era! Saturn was classically considered the signifier of mystics and ascetics, those who renounce the materialistic Gorepcore trappings of mundane life for the ineffable SPIRITUAL experience. With Saturn retrograde in your esoteric Pisces Twelfth House until November 4th, serious introspection and soul searching becomes a necessary feature of daily life through the next few months. As you’re known for a Full Send approach, exacerbated by the trailblazing North Node in your sign, Saturn is lending you a necessary inclination toward quiet reflection and Type 1 Fun.

TAURUS & TAURUS RISING

The first week of July is all about self-expression and PMA! Contacts between magnanimous Jupiter, the illuminative Sun and verbose Mercury in your Third House, encourage clear, concise communication and high levels of productivity. An excellent time to work on projects or create Subject Athlete content for MSO, the Capricorn Full Moon on July 3rd occurs in your Ninth House of philosophy, SPIRITUALITY and publishing. Hard won and highly valuable metaphysical insights are available at this time. By the opposition of Mercury in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn on July 10th, a fundamental MENTAL realignment brings incredible clarity and comprehension of your purpose. The following day, July 11th, action oriented Mars enters your Virgo Fifth House of Endurance Pursuits, Play, artistic creativity and pleasure. During this transit, joy is garnered through activities such as developing athletic strategy, intellectual competition and games that require speed and precision. The EMOTIONALLY restorative Cancer New Moon on July 17th, is a beautiful echo of early July. The birth of fresh innovative ideas, thanks to the influence of eccentric Uranus in your First House, leads to a radically positive reformation of your self concept. One of the banner transits of late July is the entry of the North Node into your Aries Twelfth House and the South Node into your Libra Sixth House on July 18th. The North Node in the Twelfth emphasizes solitude, hidden developments and spiritual attainments over the next 18 months, with the benefit of it leaving your First House! The PHYSICAL overstimulation of the past few months should dissipate, finally bringing some ease to your nervous system.

GEMINI & GEMINI RISING

An overarching energy to be aware of this month is Saturn’s retrograde in your Pisces Tenth House of career, public life and professional image until November 4th. Saturn presents challenges to be overcome, so the retrograde could distance you from public opinion, slow down or reverse certain trajectories. Although if you lean in, invite constructive criticism and actively reform your leadership style, Saturn Rx lends some serious PR polish that will only strengthen your long term prospects. July 3rd’s Capricorn Full Moon in your finance houses brings a major money move; look out for large expenses or even large deposits, this could go either way — embrace Chance. Fighter Mars takes MENTAL scrutiny and sharp criticism into your Virgo Fourth House of home, private life, EMOTIONAL roots and family from July 10th through August 27th. While Mars may court drama or internal conflict, be brave and speak your authentic truth! Mercury the communication planet enters your loud and proud Leo Third House of written and verbal expression on July 11th. The Cancer New Moon on July 17th meaningfully refreshes money and resource themes from the beginning of the month, birthing new streams of income moving forward. This day also features a SPIRITUALLY insightful, though uncomfortable, Mercury-Jupiter contact. An honest reflection on your less savory qualities, supports a more confident mindset and communication style. Latter July features many fresh starts, as the North Node enters your Aries Eleventh House of teams and community, while the South Node enters your Libra Fifth House of PHYSICAL pursuits, play and artistry, on July 18th. Over the next 18 months, on teams and amidst community, overaccommodation of others takes a back seat to your own self assertion and an urge toward leadership. Just don’t be a dick because these are, after all, your crew.

CANCER & CANCER RISING

The dazzling Sun is in your sign until the 23rd and at the top of the month a rewarding contact with positivity planet, Jupiter, spotlights your greatest aspirations. Tap into your network, a generous or well-connected acquaintance could help bring a dream into fruition. This growth oriented start to summer is further emphasized at July 3rd’s Capricorn Full Moon, an EMOTIONAL high in your house of partnerships. Important and intimate bonds could deepen, bringing great benefit to your overall well being. The transits of July 9th and 10th indicate supportive perspective shifts. A wisening aspect between diagnostic Mercury currently in your sign and mystical Neptune in fellow water sign Pisces, boosts your intuition and brings insightful SPIRITUAL visions. Some serious self-forgiveness may need to be processed, though as a result of this personal breakthrough, an intense yet revelatory contact between Mercury and Pluto opens dormant threads of dialogue in your closest relationships. A New Moon in your sign and body house on July 17th, initiates a PHYSICAL refresh. Alongside your ruler, the Moon, the enlivening Sun imbues you with a golden glow, a taste for success and loads of creative energy. You’ll want to lean into this high vibe through the remainder of the month, as irritating Mars and nervous Mercury meet in your Virgo Third House of MENTAL patterns, learning and communication. Rather than spin your wheels in anxiety or overthinking, strengthen a skillset in a local workshop like dying fabrics, learning to sew ultra lightweight fabrics like Dyneema or taking an online Orienteering course that challenges your map reading abilities.

LEO & LEO RISING

The first part of July is quiet, dear lion. Developments in your otherworldly Cancer Twelfth House emanate in whispers, so re-center and seek clarity through reflection. The Capricorn Full Moon on July 3rd, occurs in your Sixth House of work, duty and wellness. This is a time to seek closure or finalize a serious EMOTIONAL commitment in regard to your wellbeing or workplace. For example, taking on a once-in-a-lifetime Endurance challenge or even ending a relationship with a longtime coach. In the days immediately following the Full Moon, you may find yourself mired in questions of purpose and potential, take a step back and seek solace in introspection. Claiming some peace will lead to a richer comprehension of self and at July 10th’s Mercury-Pluto opposition, you’ll be primed for a powerful MENTAL wellness metamorphosis. The following day, cognitive Mercury enters your sign transformed, bestowing you with greater discernment when it comes to your self-development plan. Yet, this month’s inner evolution begins to truly blossom at the Cancer New Moon on July 17th, a safe day to gently relinquish unhealthy or self-negating behavior. Immediately thereafter, the Nodes of the Moon enter the Aries-Libra axis. The North Node entering your Ninth House and the South Node entering your Third House, respectively. Your SPIRITUAL and intellectual life will be the key sites of fated change and special attention over the next 18 months. And to coronate a rather esoteric month, get ready to Go Big on July 23rd as your ruler, the PHYSICALLY vitalizing Sun, the luminary of lifeforce, returns to your sign. Just as the Sun relights your fire, look out for Venus beginning a retrograde in your sign on July 22nd through September 3rd. Anchoring in self-love and inner beauty are especially important, as Venus rouses old stories around self-worth for renewal.

VIRGO & VIRGO RISING

The month begins with a PHYSICALLY strenuous team effort. The Capricorn Full Moon in your Fifth House of creative artistry, pleasure and sport, indicates a serious “work hard, play harder,” outlook. Compete with the best of them but allow yourself plenty of hedonic joy like hot springs, swimming holes and smoothies afterward. The happiness you squeeze out of this tough Full Moon could be deeply appreciated the next day, as transformative news arises regarding your cherished teams or communities. Throughout the month, your most important relationships are the primary site of learning. Saturn, planet of difficulty, restriction and limitation is now retrograde in your Seventh House of partners, contracts and agreements. The retrograde indicates reversal and reassessment in your most intimate relationships or bonds. The ingress of warrior Mars into your sign on July 10th could bring some disorientation to relationships, as Mars in Virgo encourages edgier EMOTIONS and MENTAL frustration in you. Have any long held grievances, hang-ups, or stale interpersonal conflicts? Well, no better month than this July to surrender them! Mars in your Mercurial sign also stimulates vigor, so channel its bravery and assertiveness into a more precise and intellectually engaging approach to training. By July 20th, Mars in Virgo opposes the retrograde Saturn in Pisces, intensifying intractable conflicts or immovable negotiations, while simultaneously clarifying each parties’ position. Fortunately on July 28th, your ruler Mercury enters your pragmatic sign, clearing stagnant channels of communication. Mercury in Virgo represents a new SPIRITUAL beginning. Likely a consequence of July’s mostly relational journey, Virgoans finally choose to prioritize their own self-development. 

LIBRA & LIBRA RISING

News of a competitive or professional win, coupled with additional responsibility, arrives July 1st! The Capricorn Full Moon on July 3rd follows this up with a spotlight on private life, family, home and self-care. This personal focus on your foundational Fourth House stabilizes your roots, facilitating healthy growth and developments in your public life. And rest assured, you’ll be digging deep, as Pluto’s retrograde back into your Capricorn Fourth House reveals motivations hidden even to yourself! These revelations act as EMOTIONAL fuel, propelling your urge toward professional success and making your goals more coherent, therefore more attainable this month. Mercury’s entrance into your Leo Eleventh House on July 11th, encourages MENTAL focus on one’s community, club and team affiliations. Mercury is the polyvalent master of communication, so do what you do so well Libra, get out and network wholeheartedly! Your passion for fostering relationships will serve the attainment of your aspirations and dreams. By the Cancer New Moon on July 17th, a fruitful and profound new beginning commences in your career and public life. The following day the North Node enters your Aries Seventh House of relationship to others and the South Node enters your Libra First House of relationship to self, respectively. Fated events that call you to improve the balance between meeting your own needs and those of others, aligns with a more SPIRITUAL self-concept. Over the next 18 months, the South Node in your First House may also be PHYSICALLY draining, since it is a point indicating dispersal. Maintaining a functional body-mind connection, getting plenty of rest and concentrating on low-impact exercise like Type 1 ATB, could benefit your wellbeing during this transit. 

SCORPIO & SCORPIO RISING

Ready for your close up? While the mere notion is discomforting for many Scorpions, the month of July finds you especially visible. During the first week, a hot-blooded combination of heroic Mars and charming Venus in your Leo Tenth House of achievement, legacy and vocation, brings your most sincere passions forth into the public eye. The dazzling Sun comes home to Leo later on July 23rd, brightening the spotlight and turning up the heat. It’s time to take center stage. Relish the exposure and keep an open mind, your EMOTIONAL authenticity could attract extraordinary connections in unexpected packages! If you’ve been holding out on your audience, the Capricorn Full Moon on July 3rd is in your Third House of media, communication, skill and knowledge building. A MENTAL breakthrough is in order and Capricorn is about getting the job done, liberate those drafts and release that content into the wild! By July 11th, articulate Mercury joins graceful Venus in your public Tenth House, Mercury-Venus refines your image and improves your public speaking skills, ensuring you capture both hearts and minds. On the 22nd, Venus retrogrades here until September 3rd, helping you positively reassess your worth, presentation and the value of your offerings. A metaphysical renaissance commences on July 17th, as the Cancer New Moon in your Ninth House of higher education and philosophical worldview, ushers in a restored sense of SPIRITUAL purpose. This revival aligns perfectly with the entry of the North Node into your Aries Sixth House of labor and wellness routines, while the South Node enters your Libra Twelfth House of solitude and introspection. For the next 18 months, your PHYSICAL fitness and health practices become even more of an obsession, a site of personal experimentation and pioneering innovation! 

SAGITTARIUS & SAGITTARIUS RISING

The first few days of July feature what on the surface appears pragmatic, though underneath is profoundly impactful. July 1st-3rd are great days for domestic reorganization or therapy, acts that reveal the forgotten or hidden aspects of daily experience. The implications of these routine practices are EMOTIONALLY rewarding thanks to a positive Sun–Jupiter contact in your psychological Cancer Eighth House and dutiful Taurus Sixth House. On July 3rd, the Capricorn Full Moon occurs in your Second House of earned income and possessions, representing a culmination or conclusion with personal finances. This Full Moon is ruled by a retrograde Saturn, so it leans toward a resolution, such as the cessation of an income stream, a purchase with long-term significance or the closing of a deal. Like an intrepid Cardiogoth, Mars pierces the veil of your Virgo Tenth House on July 10th, striking fierceness into your professional life. Mars calls on you to be more assertive in your career and forge greater MENTAL courage in the face of criticism; harsh critique being one of the negative Virgo Mars symptoms! Support arrives immediately, as multifaceted Mercury enters your Leo Ninth House of SPIRITUALITY, metaphysics and knowledge seeking on July 11th. Mercury in Leo rouses a heart-mind dialogue, fostering more authenticity in your worldview. As Mercury rules your Tenth House, this sovereign sense of purpose fostered by Mercury in Leo, easily transfers over into your public life. This energy is expanded further when the Sun enters Leo on July 23rd. One of the biggest shifts of 2023 is the ingress of the North Node into your Aries Fifth House and the South Node into your Libra Eleventh House on July 18th. Over the next eighteen months, the North Node impels you toward solo Endurance Pursuits and leisure, your own PHYSICAL pleasure and playful invention.  

CAPRICORN & CAPRICORN RISING

You, majestic sea-goat, are definitely more comfortable in tough times and with the harder edges of life than most signs of the zodiac. Thus, as your sober and serious ruler, Saturn, embarks on its annual retrograde, this time in Pisces, you may see that your PHYSICAL energy levels are impacted. Fatigue could be a background issue through November 4th, so be easy on yourself. With all of this in mind, July 3rd’s Full Moon in your sign presents a unique benchmark for your self-development journey through the course of the retrograde. Catalytic Pluto’s co-presence with this Full Moon, points to a transformational moment of EMOTIONAL catharsis. Feelings may be raw, as Capricornians have been through the gauntlet, especially these past three years, yet this month presents opportunities for personal healing and interpersonal reconciliation that may have felt out of reach for quite some time. July 10th’s dramatic opposition between Pluto in your sign and Mercury in Cancer, calls forth revelations in your intimate relationships, dredging up that which has gone sour into the cleansing light of perceptibility. That same day, Mars enters your Virgo Ninth House of metaphysics, SPIRITUALITY and higher knowledge, a wonderful time to reassess your worldview and employ a newly refined discernment in your outlook on life. Early through mid-July prepares you well for the powerful ingress of the Nodes into your Tenth and Fourth Houses on July 18th. The North Node enters your Aries Fourth House and the South Node enters your Libra Tenth House. In the course of the next eighteen months the North Node makes your home and private life the site of excitement, MENTAL intrigue and experimentation. This may sound unusual for the most career concerned Caps reading this, though embrace this change knowing that the South Node in your Tenth House of public life and vocation, liberates you to rest, recharge and ultimately, explore horizons unknown!

AQUARIUS & AQUARIUS RISING

Like your fellow Saturn ruled sibling – Capricorn, the retrograde of your joint ruler has a less than stellar impact on PHYSICAL wellbeing. Saturn retrograde could correlate with lethargy or stiffness. Until the retrograde ends on November 4th, incorporating low intensity, low impact activities such as Moss Napping and Rambling into your endurance training could be a game changer that has positive long term benefits. Saturn rules our connective tissue such as ligaments and tendons, so no skiing bumps or topo-parkour. Alternative approaches to wellness provide striking clarity this month, thanks to a contact between the vital Sun in Cancer and holistic Chiron in Aries. On July 2nd, relational Venus forms a tense aspect to maverick Uranus. This square between Venus in your Leo Seventh House and Uranus in your Taurus Fourth House, could usher in unexpected, EMOTIONALLY intense moments at home. These matters are private by nature though quite transformative in the big picture. The next day’s Capricorn Full Moon on July 3rd, offers you deep peace if you’re willing to take time out for yourself to reflect. Although, be aware that you may revisit and reevaluate this issue after July 22nd when Venus retrogrades in your Leo Seventh House of partnership, contracts and agreements. Some soul searching may come in handy! In other major news, the unorthodox and crafty North Node enters your Aries Third House of daily MENTAL processes, communication patterns, kinship and locality on July 18th. For the next 18 months, attention will be on daily minutiae of thought, innovating your media presence and improving communication, all with that singular Arian focus. On the flip side, the discrete and impassive South Node enters your Libra Ninth House of philosophy and metaphysics, decreasing your investment in organized SPIRITUALITY and liberating you from dissonant worldviews. Aquarians are in the antithesis of an “eat, pray, love” era, so at times you may feel like a cosmic drifter. Embrace the journey! Eventually you’ll phone home only to realize you’ve been there all along.  

PISCES & PISCES RISING

July is full of brilliantly creative and high spirited vibes! The whole of the month, including the July 3rd Capricorn Full Moon and July 17th Cancer New Moon, is an auspicious time for play, travel, sports and games, creating for art’s sake and enjoying the best of your local zone! An extremely positive aspect from benefic Jupiter in your Taurus Third House of local environments, skill building and education, to your Cancer Fifth House of children, amusements and celebration, indicates incredible EMOTIONAL joy in sharing your talents with groms.Tag in to lead a ride or offer a wilderness survival workshop; this influence remains until July 23rd. A transit active throughout this month and through November, is Saturn’s Retrograde in your sign. Now is the time to reconfigure your PHYSICAL training plan. Saturn represents order and a retro is about reassessment. In a way, this period calls on you to take your self-development program a bit less seriously. Experiment, allowing more room for trial and error. On July 10th, warrior Mars enters your interpersonal Virgo Seventh House. Mars in Virgo is tricky, in that it usually brings MENTAL distress or disagreement in partnerships. Sit down with your allies and work through your action plans together. Mars in Virgo loves strategy, so game planning in collaboration will channel any frustrations into productivity. On July 28th, Mercury, the communication planet and ruler of Virgo, returns home with plenty of clarity and understanding on hand! The SPIRITUAL work of this month takes a mundane form. Venus begins her retrograde in your Leo Sixth House of health habits, routines, duty and service on July 22nd, followed by the entrance of Leo’s enlightening ruling planet, the Sun, on July 23rd. Rigus Tightus is your modus operandi as the month ends, the Sun is the divine spark and Venus is associated with purity and cleanliness. Cleanses, detoxes, sleep hygiene, meticulous schedules and keeping your kit dialed are the program.

While these changes are set to deepen in scope, the pace of change may have gone into overdrive as of late and a more natural tempo should return during this Pluto Retrograde. With Venus and Mars in your Leo 12th House of introspection after June 5th, channel excess energy within, as private SPIRITUAL practice is likely to become an intense preoccupation.

Libra & Libra Rising

This exciting, growth oriented climax occurs in your 2nd House of money, values and material possessions. The ruler of this Full Moon, Jupiter, is in your Taurus 7th House of partnership, agreements and interpersonal exchange, alongside the opportunistic North Node, MENTAL Mercury and innovative Uranus, so this may relate to a contractual increase in income or terrific business opportunities that arrive in the form of new connections. These developments are supported by charming Venus’ ingress into your Leo 10th House of public reputation, personal brand and vocation on June 5th, joining Mars there through the rest of the month.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

For centaurs, the start of June is hopeful! A Full Moon in your sign on June 3rd, the body and self concept sector of your chart, is governed by your buoyant, efficacious ruler, Jupiter. The planet of success, Jupiter is overseeing this Full Moon from your Taurus 6th House of health routines, PHYSICAL fitness and wellness, pointing towards an important milestone (PR) or attainment, per your wellbeing. As the 6th House is also associated with our workplace, including colleagues, superiors and subordinates, there could be a positive progression there too. Starting June 5th, Venus joins warrior Mars in your Leo 9th House of philosophical and SPIRITUAL beliefs, igniting a passion for your perspectives. You’ll be more enthusiastic than usual, so be careful to not be too overzealous. On June 11th, obsessive Pluto leaves your 3rd House of MENTAL patterns and discourse, tempering hyperfocus and softening the emboldened communication style you’ve potentially developed since Pluto’s entry in late March. Despite this major shift, your words still carry extra power this month. Be particularly mindful following the Gemini New Moon in your interpersonal 7th House on June 17th. Practicing EMOTIONAL intelligence and honest dialogue with family and partners, serves you well.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

An ecstatic contact between romantic Venus in sentimental Cancer and euphoric Neptune in creative Pisces, begins the month on a beautiful EMOTIONAL high! Whispers of sweet nothings and memorable dates with your lover dance you into the Sagittarius Full Moon on June 3rd in your quiet and gestational Sagittarius 12th House. The 12th House is like a SPIRITUAL sanctuary, studio or study, a place where significant contemplation and development occurs out of sight, often in seclusion. At this Full Moon, whatever you’ve been gestating is set to come to light and make a surprising impact, as the ruler of the Full Moon is magnanimous Jupiter in your Taurus 5th House of creative projects and artistry. Play Chance, embrace the unexpected, results may be better than you could ever imagine. On June 11th, Pluto, the empowering planet of evolutionary change, returns to your sign and PHYSICAL 1st House, encouraging you to reconfigure a transformative, long-term, yet potentially extreme, approach to wellness.

Celestial Beta: May

Posted on by Taylor Kruse

Celestial Beta, a horoscope tailored specifically to the needs of Subject Athletes going Inside The Outside. Written every month by Astrologer, Torrence Tremayne. If you’re an Endurance Cult Member, Rat, Sky Runner, All Terrain Bicycler, Orienteer, Privateer, Dead Reckoner, Future Naturer, Vortexual, Recreationalist, Merv, Randonerd, road cycler or similar please use and enjoy this horoscope designed to help you push your physical, spiritual, mental and emotional limits while maintaining optimal PMA. From PBs and FKTs to (Type 5 Fun) Transcendence, we’re committed to get the timing right.

Aries & Aries Rising

You’ve been gassed up on Jupiter’s zeal since May 2022 and with the planet of success in your sign, rams have felt like gallant Cardiogoths in gleaming Dyneema armor, brandishing their PHYSICAL prowess and blazing trails of glory! Although, the archetypal power of fortune and greatness leaves your sign on May 16th for the green pastures of Taurus. The first half of May is a time to appreciate the rewards of this transit, such as the spirited boost to your MENTAL outlook, passionate self-belief and confidence, personal mastery and a healthy new glow. One of Jupiter’s last gifts before exiting Aries for another twelve years is to fortify your EMOTIONAL wellbeing, challenging you to channel aggression into protective warriorship on behalf of your Endurance Cult tribe, alongside breaking down any aversion to self-care for your own preservation. May 5th’s Scorpio Full Moon – Lunar Eclipse will highlight the hidden SPIRITUAL or psycho-emotional entanglements that detract from your wellbeing, while simultaneously presenting solutions, or in the very least, opportunities to cut cords and safely release any baggage. When it comes to new values, it’s time to walk the talk!

Taurus & Taurus Rising

This is your month—it’s time to GBOGH. On May 5th, an EMOTIONALLY provocative Scorpio Full Moon – Lunar Eclipse occurs in your 7th House of partnership and agreements. The 7th House arrangements tend to be for the long haul and as Lunar Eclipses signify fated and climactic turns, there could be an emancipatory release from a relationship that has outlived its relevance. Agitator Mars, the ruler of this Full Moon – Lunar Eclipse is in your MENTAL processes, close kin and self-expression zone; passions may be high so speak carefully, empathy and honesty leads to catharsis. Fortunately, Jupiter, planet of prosperity, wisdom, success and joy enters your sign and PHYSICAL 1st House on May 16th, invigorating you, stimulating personal empowerment and SPIRITUAL inspiration. Jupiter in Taurus, a proverbial honeypot, will ensure that any lingering relational issues felt at the Lunar Eclipse are smooth like buffed-out singletrack by the Taurus New Moon on May 20th. A New Moon in your sign means a fresh start in life and with cosmic guru Jupiter present, this points to a year of fortune, accomplishment and growth.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

Your SPIRITUAL and work life are the centerpiece of this month. On May 5th, a Scorpio Full Moon – Lunar Eclipse in your 6th House of duties, conflict, wellness routines and labor, prompts relief or finality regarding a stressful work or health-related matter. Invest in your MENTAL peace and lay low, though if curiosity gets the best of you, it’s better to seek how you could be of service to those struggling in your community, rather than seeking the EMOTIONAL melodramas of others. Your usually sprightly ruler, Mercury, is bogged down by retrograde in your Taurus 12th House of rest and solitude, so until Mercury goes direct on May 15th, it’s advised to seek privacy and choose recuperation, over pushing PHYSICAL limits or interpersonal drama. A grounding Taurus New Moon on May 20th, calls you in to reflect on your values and authentic desires. Merely days after your ruler Mercury goes direct, the radiant Sun enters your sign on May 21st, reanimating a greater vision of your potential, along with a capacity to demonstrate your noble purpose in the wider world. 

Cancer & Cancer Rising

SPIRITUAL embodiment is centering the inner child, play and wonder this month. From May 7th until May 20th, the planet of sweetness and beauty, Venus, syncs up with the planet of athleticism and brawn, Mars, in your sign! This is a scintillating mix of energies, PHYSICALLY lively and EMOTIONALLY arousing. You’ll likely feel quite appealing this month or at least, everyone around will notice that virile and vital glow! At the May 5th Full Moon – Lunar Eclipse in your Scorpio 5th House, a fateful climax of celebration or even romance, is indicated, so surrender to the moment. The first half of the month is an ideal time to reconnect with friends, both old and new. As Jupiter transitions from your career and achievement oriented Aries 10th House, to your social network and aspirations oriented Taurus 11th House on May 16th, consider mid-May a sweet spot for victory in competition and a positive MENTAL reset regarding your goals. At the Taurus New Moon on May 20th, sagacious Jupiter sets a bold new agenda homebody crabs: rubbing shoulders, public philanthropy, and group or civic leadership.

Leo & Leo Rising

With your life enhancing ruler, the Sun, shining from your Taurus 10th House of legacy, achievement and public identity until the 21st, expect your PHYSICAL energies to be prime! MENTALLY you’ll be extremely focused on visible success this month. Around May 9th, your lionhearted pursuits are electrified by a Sun-Uranus contact, signifying unexpected or even jarring changes in public standing. Though no worries, as this shift denotes beneficial, long overdue reformations of image, leadership style and reputation! If you’re an authority figure, whether at home or in a public capacity, a fresh pivot in direction could begin to take shape this month, though it requires that you flush out stale EMOTIONAL refuse and ghosts of the past. From May 16th onward, potentially life-altering opportunities for elevation, external sovereignty and assumption of destined purpose arise. And by May 20th, courageous Mars enters your sign after alchemizing your internal outlook in the 12th House. Leos are fired up, SPIRITUALLY renewed and ready to take charge by late May. Behave like a Wizard, plan judiciously, invite constructive feedback and watch as your clout and cache wax big time.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

Have you felt stuck, or experienced a minor existential dilemma since late April? If so, that would track with the fact your discerning ruler Mercury is once again, retrograde. While this retrograde occurs three to four times a year, it is still of special importance to the MENTALLY skilled, Mercury-ruled signs. This period of reversal, delay, reappraisal and experimentation, is in your Taurus 9th House of SPIRITUALITY, quests and higher knowledge until May 15th. The first half of the month is a great time to prioritize low-impact PHYSICAL exercise, clean eating, gentle bodywork and plenty of time Inside The Outside, all for the sake of a clearer, more productive, mind. Seek EMOTIONAL stillness, quiet your thoughts and know only that you know nothing, especially around May 5th, to receive purposeful insights. Taurus is an earth sign after all, so epitomizes a holistic, mind-body connection. On May 16th, serene and wise Jupiter enters your 9th House for a year, the day after Mercury retrograde ends. During the latter half of the month, a practical path toward embodied enlightenment is found right beneath your feet.

Libra & Libra Rising

A Full Moon – Lunar Eclipse in your Scorpio 2nd House on May 5th ushers in an EMOTIONAL culmination around money and assets. News of an unexpected triumph over a financial challenge may be at hand, though much depends on your patience. Like a disciplined warrior, take ownership of your feelings and keep a cool head under pressure. PHYSICAL vitality may lag until May 7th as your ruler Venus concludes an unusually ponderous Gemini transit. A draining contact with Neptune may further sap your spirit. To bounce back, team up with your most trusted companions and do a multi-day Adventure. Treat competition as a constructive quest for inner understanding and self-love. Via Endurance Pursuits or post-eclipse psychedelic expeditions, bravely seek out horizons unknown. Mercury’s retrograde ends on May 16th, removing MENTAL obstacles and smoothing out lingering tensions over matters illuminated at the Scorpio Full Moon – Lunar Eclipse. And a few days later on May 21st, the Sun enters your SPIRITUAL Gemini 9th house, further clarifying your outlook and highlighting a positive vision for your Future Nature.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

The month kicks off with a cathartic Full Moon – Lunar Eclipse in your sign and self-concept sector on May 5th. Lunar Eclipses are superpowered climaxes of energy, so in regards to your MENTAL and EMOTIONAL development, a dramatic moment of self-awareness is assured. Paradoxically, both passionate embrace and a need for surrender are likely to arise in your intimate or contractual bonds. Release of stagnant emotions or self-defeating beliefs open space for profound healing at this time. This relief then clears the way for Jupiter, the planet of SPIRITUAL growth and wisdom, to enter your interpersonal Taurus 7th House on May 16th, followed by a restorative Taurus New Moon on May 20th. Your hardened self-defenses must come down Scorpions, as generous and emotionally honest partnerships become the crux of your self-development over the next year. That same day, your ruler Mars, enters your radiant Leo 10th House, renewing your PHYSICAL vitality. In this brilliant solar sign and prominent house, athletic and courageous Mars is uplifted, so get ready for the spotlight, as achievement, leadership and high visibility are likely later in the month.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

A quiet SPIRITUAL apogee takes place on May 5th, as a purgative Scorpio Full Moon – Lunar Eclipse occurs in your house of seclusion, hidden developments and introspection. This is a time to release self-defeating behaviors, so be wary of EMOTIONAL outbursts, breathe deeply and act methodically, no matter how acute any crisis or conflict may appear. Impatience and clinging to the past could negatively impact relationships, so let go and flow! Late May places major emphasis on your PHYSICAL health and wellbeing! Your ruler, Jupiter, the archetypal power of possibility, enthusiasm and zeal, enters your sensible Taurus 6th House of work and wellness from May 16th until May 2024. For the next year, your philosophical approach to Metaphysical Fitness, service and health will be upleveled and innovated in surprisingly practical ways! MENTAL horizons shift, opening the door to floral therapeutics, barefoot earthing sessions, somatic gurus, mud baths and more! A Taurus New Moon follows Jupiter on May 20th, sprouting fresh work-life habits and routines that allow you greater simplicity, ease and relaxation. By slowing down and grounding your priorities, you’ll actually get more done! 

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

While you’re known for your focus and intense PHYSICAL fortitude, the May 20th Taurus New Moon in your play and leisure house, encourages a lighter-hearted approach to recreation, competition and Endurance Pursuits. Now that you’ve optimized and reconfigured your entire fitness regiment and health routine during the Mercury Retrograde in Taurus, after May 15th you’re invited to feast your senses! Allow yourself to play for pleasure’s sake and embrace the EMOTIONAL peace necessary to face any fears of imperfection or imposter syndrome. Capricorn’s can be guilty of an “all work, no play” MENTALITY, perceiving even trivial games as weighty measures of character. Magnanimous and carefree Jupiter enters this part of your chart on May 16th, encouraging you to celebrate life sincerely and revel in the sensorial. Just be mindful to not stray too far into hedonistic pandemonium, as a loud and extraordinarily confident Jupiter contact with Pluto in your money house could find you sponsoring post-ride 3rd wave tacos for the whole group ride. Though overall, creating conditions for the propagation of joy, wonder and awe in your life, especially amongst friends, is your golden ticket to SPIRITUALLY ecstatic states through May 2024. Transformation and Transcendence!

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

Venus, the archetypal power of pleasure and romance, skips into your Cancer 6th House of health habits on May 7th and until May 20th, joining Mars. This is a potent period for PHYSICAL vitality and rouses an all-consuming passion for personal wellness. If your heart’s not entirely in any current practices, you’re unlikely to continue, so ensure everything from the food you regularly consume, to your current fitness regimen, absolutely delights you! Otherwise, dull elements of your wellness practice will likely be left behind for good by late May. MENTALLY and EMOTIONALLY you’re experiencing a peak period for transformative self-development and internal growth. Jupiter, planet of expansion, optimism and wisdom, enters your foundational Taurus 4th House of inner life, home and roots on May 16th. Thanks to an immediate connection to the catalytic soul shaker Pluto, massive SPIRITUAL breakthroughs are at hand, though first, you must be willing to excavate the darkest crevices of personal and family memory. For the next year, hidden treasure is uncovered at the bottom of the ancestral waste heap. 

Pisces & Pisces Rising

A subversive Scorpio Full Moon – Lunar Eclipse on May 5th urges a heavy SPIRITUAL detox. Release toxic beliefs in favor of simplicity and the corporeal wisdom of nature. So hug a tree Pisces, seriously! With committed Saturn in your sign since March, maybe you’ve been so preoccupied with work or self-improvement, you’ve forgotten to appreciate stillness and smell life’s Evergreen Forests! The month of May demands that Pisceans get PHYSICAL in stimulating and sensorial ways! From May 7th until May 20th, the planet of sweetness and pleasure, Venus, teams up with the planet of athleticism and competition, Mars, in your 5th House of Endurance Pursuits and recreation. Pump up your tires and gather your tribe for some Type 1 Fun Inside The Outside. Jupiter, your friendly ruler, enters your daily MENTALITY and local life sector on May 16th, further prompting you outside to enjoy quality conversation with close kin. A growing neighborly mindset is supported by the gentle EMOTIONAL refresh of the Taurus New Moon on May 20th. Optimism, abundance and goodwill blossoms in familiar settings over the next year, though in wildly surprising ways!

From PBs and FKTs to (Type 5 Fun) Transcendence, we’re committed to get the timing right.

ARIES & ARIES RISING

Enjoy the PHYSICALLY vitalizing Sun in your sign until April 20th. The Sun is exalted in Aries, so naturally, you embody the solar gifts of excellence, confident autonomy and executive authority. With the Sun in your sign, this is a fantastic time to start a new Metaphysical Fitness Program and/or enter a formal competition, challenge or race. GBGH! On April 20th, an Aries New Moon/Solar Eclipse precedes the departure of the Sun to Taurus later that day. April 19th and 20th present a fresh and clear-headed approach to your MENTAL wellbeing and personal development. On March 7th, Saturn, planet of structure, form and discipline entered your 12th House of the subconscious, introspection, solitude and retreat. Your SPIRITUAL life is up for a serious review and tune-up until February 2026. If you do not already incorporate devotional practice or spiritual study in your daily life, challenging circumstances could arise that prompt internal evolution—push your spiritual limits before they push you. Feeling restless, disoriented, or anxious? Your ruler, Mars, planet of action and assertion is now struggling through the indulgently emo waters of Cancer until May 20th. This is a very murky transit for you. Even though you prefer to play it sharp and tough, from now through July, embrace your EMOTIONAL limits and submit to vulnerability. 

TAURUS & TAURUS RISING

Until April 11th, your ruler Venus is present with you, gifting your sign harmony and fruitful productivity. This transit is about creating space to Experience Earth’s Energies, as Venus rouses Taureans to appreciate their terrestrial nature and the PHYSICAL pleasures of life. Indulge your senses with aromatherapy, align with your animal instinct on a Vision Quest, embrace the gradual rejuvenation of bodywork or massage and do all the bathings you can; sunbathe, forestbathe, starbathe, soundbathe, etc. Not just physically rewarding, these uncomplicated and low key indulgent pursuits also offer you feelings of MENTAL well-being. Self-directed SPIRITUAL awakening is the growth edge for you this month. The illuminating Sun spends the majority of April enlightening your secluded, introspective, Aries 12th House of the shadow and subconscious. On April 11th and 12th, the Sun makes a sublime contact with the heroic sage, Jupiter in Aries, offering you an important spark of epiphany in regards to self-destructive habits or ways of being. Bravely face your fears at that time, as on April 20th, an Aries New Moon/Solar Eclipse in your 12th House invites you to sprint toward a new horizon, gallantly overcoming what’s held you back. EMOTIONAL boundaries and authenticity checks are called for in your 11th House networks, as integritous Saturn in Pisces begins to encircle and filter your social sphere through February 2026. Not to say they will be banished overnight, though vibesuckers, emotional vampires and haters best beware, as you will no longer have the Saturnine time to tolerate their presence in your life much longer. 

GEMINI & GEMINI RISING

As irritating Mars left your sign on March 25th, any sudden onset of PHYSICAL malaise faced these past seven months will begin to weaken and fade.  However, with your ruler Mercury retrograde April 21–May 15 in your Taurus 12th House, physical and MENTAL fatigue could be an ongoing concern. The regressive motion of your ruler gets lots of pop culture attention nowadays, often barring a nuanced understanding of astrology. Mercury’s retrogrades particularly impact its own signs, Gemini and Virgo, since it is your ruler, its condition directly portends your wellbeing. Taurus can be a ponderous place for sprightly Mercury, so while in your contemplative 12th House of private SPIRITUAL practice and the subconscious, your mental wellbeing and spiritual life are up for review. Through mid-May, prioritize plenty of rest and set aside time for self-reflection. While this news is maybe less than amazing, Mercury comes home to your sign in June, freeing your spirit and boosting your PMA. The days surrounding April 6th’s Libra Full Moon in your 5th House of artistry, romance, sport and Endurance are perfect for EMOTIONAL release and experiencing awe with friends. Perhaps the most extroverted of the zodiac, you are the ideal candidate to organize a crew and guide them Inside The Outside to Experience Earth’s Energies.

CANCER & CANCER RISING

On March 25th, unsettling Mars entered your sign and 1st House of the PHYSICAL body and self-concept. Agitative and competitive Mars, in your sign until May 20th, stirs up your EMOTIONAL state, yet up-levels vitality, inciting a hurricane strength of will to assert and win during this transit. If contests, challenges or races lie ahead, Cancerians are of an especially sharp mind and possess a thunderous well of passion. Water sports like packrafting and LSD-SUP are naturally indicated, though exercise caution, Mars can cause Type 3 Fun. Maintaining a healthy MENTAL and emotional state are key to your success now, as Mars is unfavorable for either in your sign. The stormy nature of Mars in Cancer disturbs your inclination to foster creativity and nurture development. Emotionally ensnaring dramatics may ensue, with the planet of warfare in your sensitive sign and opposing the 7th House of alliances and adversaries. Prioritize your peace, choose self-care, detox through art-making, and try gentle, anxiety-reducing exercises like moss naps, meditation, contemplation and Telepathy practice to thwart turmoil. Last month, crystallizing Saturn entered your Pisces 9th House of belief systems and SPIRITUAL quests. Saturn was last in Pisces during the mid-1990s, so this is an infrequent, thus important transit. With the planet of order, discipline and maturation here until February 2026, you may find yourself growing serious regarding a philosophy or worldview. While you must be wary of dogmatism with Saturn in Jupiter’s water sign, this should be a pivotal period for your Metaphysical development. What does Future Nature mean to you? Think about it.

LEO & LEO RISING

Saturn, ruler of your Capricorn 6th House of health habits, is now in your transformative Pisces 8th House. Saturn signifies difficulties, as well as systems and stability. Saturn entering the mutable sign Pisces, in a precarious house such as the 8th, indicates capriciousness concerning your wellness routines, without conscious effort. Saturn is here until 2026, so the challenge is to remain resolute and organized for optimal PHYSICAL wellbeing. Sweat the small stuff, stay on the program, trust the process. Have a big idea you’re just aching to share? This month is your month!  A Libra Full Moon occurs on April 6th in your 3rd House of MENTALity, communication and skill development; an announcement is likely in regards to a project or subject of study. By the Aries New Moon/Solar Eclipse on April 20th in your 9th House of advanced learning, belief systems and SPIRITUAL quests, you may begin a graduated level on this metaphysical or intellectual journey.  With Mars in your Cancer 12th House of introspection and the subconscious this month, suppressed feelings could get the best of you! Whether it’s with your therapist or internally in contemplative practice, EMOTIONAL honesty is the best policy. Pluto’s presence in your Aquarius 7th House points to transformative changes of course in relationships, so bolstering the backend will keep you anchored. 

VIRGO & VIRGO RISING

On April 3rd, your ruler Mercury, enters your Taurus 9th House of mundane and SPIRITUAL philosophies, inviting you to PHYSICALLY slow down, consider your oneness with nature and embrace sensuality, through June 11th. Taurus is an easeful, self-indulgent sign, so analytical, anxious Mercury can relax here, though only to a point! Both electrifying Uranus and the innovative North Node are in Taurus as well, so your worldview is up for intense review and shocking shifts. You may benefit greatly in adopting a naturalist credo and incorporating an entrepreneurial, abundance MENTALity. Mercury will retrograde here from April 21–May 15, so pace yourself and remain open to adjustment. Finicky Virgoans who resist an organic spiritual and intellectual evolution could experience an unnatural regression instead. Saturn, planet of boundaries, adversity and duration, transits your 7th House of partnership and “other people” until February 2026. The challenge of Saturn opposing your Ascendant/1st House is that your relationships could be a prime site of EMOTIONAL divergence and difficulty. Yield more often and avoid weaponizing your criticality, to mature and better your relations. 

LIBRA & LIBRA RISING

Librans experience an optimistic and revitalizing Full Moon in your sign on April 6th, reflecting a major boost in PHYSICAL energy and favorable connections with others! Exuberant Jupiter opposes the Moon in your sign, alongside the dazzling Sun, drawing positive attention to you and amplifying your confidence. Jupiter and the Sun meet in your Aries 7th House of contracts and relationships, so exciting social affairs around this Full Moon could be EMOTIONALLY exciting. Later in the month, a related moment of initiation: an Aries New Moon/Solar Eclipse on April 20th, presents an impassioned new beginning for your partnerships. Whether the handshake that solidifies a business partnership or the civic recognition of a romantic bond, the novel energy of an Aries Solar Eclipse is like double-tapping fast forward and dropping into something big. Lean forward, bend your knees. Your hard-boiled Taurus 8th House of entanglements, trauma and endings, becomes a site of esoteric experimentation this April. Trickster Mercury, the planet of investigation and gray areas, meanders through this transformative house until June, prompting an offbeat, methodical, MENTAL wellness reappraisal. Seek SPIRITUAL restitution within, rather than let the phantoms of your past or feelings fatale dictate the terms of your future.

SCORPIO & SCORPIO RISING

Your fierce ruler Mars has finally left the static feedback of your Gemini 8th House after roughly seven months there, including a long retrograde. The 8th House is a place of EMOTIONAL entanglements, challenging change and abrupt endings; having one’s ruler travel there sometimes points to periods of unusual PHYSICAL malaise or mysterious obstacles to care. Mars’ entry into the house of your fellow water sign, Cancer, likely aligns with some recuperation of wellbeing or steadying of vitality. And speaking of your Cancer 9th House, Mars’ transit there through May 20th, denotes an emotionally intense crusade regarding your SPIRITUAL philosophy and worldview. Gripping internal battles or confrontational metaphysical mentors may force you to better safeguard and nurture your MENTAL health at this time. The stabilizing Libra Full Moon on April 6th in your 12th House of introspection and the revolutionary Aries New Moon/Solar Eclipse on April 20th in your 6th House of service, point to both impassioned altruism and activism as potential release valves for this month’s existential deluge. Active compassion and habitual creativity will be your sanctuary this April, Scorpio. 

SAGITTARIUS & SAGITTARIUS RISING

This is your time to shine, centaurs! April will engage you in enthralling and high-spirited diversions, perfectly suiting your adventurous temperament. The vitalizing and illuminating Sun spotlights your Aries 5th House of Play, Endurance, Fun and Agon until April 19th. This blaze of joy peaks with a meeting of your gregarious ruler Jupiter and the gallant Aries Sun on April 11-12th, offering an extraordinary opportunity for connection and friendly PHYSICAL competition among friends. Knife Fights!! Wednesday night Worlds! A massive MENTAL refresh is underway as transformation catalyst, power player and chthonic guide, Pluto, invokes an underworld excursion in your Aquarius 3rd House of mindset, foundational education and communication. While Pluto will retrograde back to Capricorn this summer, the cosmic shaman will otherwise be here until 2044. Prepare to clear the recesses of your mind and empower your communication. This transit also has SPIRITUAL implications, as the 3rd House was known to the ancients as the place of ritual; implementing a daily practice will anchor you amidst gale-force winds of change. Melancholic Saturn is now in your Pisces 4th House of roots and core self until February 2026. Maintaining EMOTIONAL buoyancy and a solid PMA  may become a daily task. Stay positive though, as your public life and career become a productive site of growth and upliftment. 

CAPRICORN & CAPRICORN RISING

April 2023 is the first full month without deconstructive Pluto in Capricorn since the year 2008. This is a wholly cathartic month for sea-goats, liberating every aspect of your life and self from Pluto’s infernal grasp. Over the last 15 years, PHYSICALLY, SPIRITUAL, MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY, Capricornians have been transformed from the inside-out. Part of your liberation from the underworld is to embrace joy and Endurance Pursuits for the sake of it, as the vitalizing Sun joins social Venus and travels through your Taurus 5th House of Play beginning April 20th. Seriously, go inside The Outside and Experience Earth’s Energies. It may sound dramatic to some, though surviving Pluto’s mortal coil is a feat that should be both honored and celebrated. Still, there are newly serious energies at play, as Saturn, signifier of maturation, encourages mindset and skill development in your Pisces 3rd House until February 2026. This extended period of mental challenge and re-ordering, yields mastery of self expression and stability of mind. On the emotional front, an Aries New Moon/Solar Eclipse in your 4th House of home, family and core self, offers a refreshing new beginning for these topics on April 20th. This is a whole new chapter in your life and it begins with an explosion of energy and optimism.

AQUARIUS & AQUARIUS RISING

Aquarians, are you ready to Squirrel Suit or begin an Extreme Ritual practice? Even if your answer is no, Pluto, the catalytic transformer, shaman, and underworld power player, says yes. With you until 2044, Pluto is guiding your metaphorical freefall and entire self-concept toward an alchemical rebirth. This transit pushes you to accept your PHYSICAL mortality and adopt a multidimensional SPIRITUAL perspective. Pluto in Aquarius is like Patrick Swayze’s character Bodhi, from Point Break. Like Pluto, Bodhi is a powerful, untamed and fearless underworld figure. Like an archetypal Aquarius, Bodhi is highly observant, a conceptual MENTAList and effective communicator, critical of centralized authority and dwelling at the fringe of society. In freefall, Pluto will reveal your instinctual and EMOTIONAL triggers, ultimately empowering you through a confrontation with your deepest fears. A fantastic harbinger for this transit, is the supercharged and emotionally supportive, Aries New Moon/Solar Eclipse on April 20th. Alongside this new Plutonian era, a fresh outlook and novel strategy for your life is likely to be born. With Jupiter in Aries present as well, optimism and courage light the way toward genuine wisdom and great success. Obviously, Aquarians win this month. If you’re an Aquarius, please call us immediately and tell us something.

PISCES & PISCES RISING

Saturn, planet of maturation, discipline and order, entered your sign last month, ushering in a three year period of self-development, measured PHYSICAL progress and growing pains. If you haven’t already taken your wellness regimen from intermediate to advanced, or from advanced to expert, this era calls for you to level-up. The Sun in Taurus, beginning April 20th, illuminates your 3rd House of personal processes, skill development and daily mindset, while making a fruitful contact with Saturn. This Sun-Saturn aspect requires dedicated effort on your part and peer support to bear its best fruit. That said, it sets the stage for a pragmatic MENTAL shift that will benefit you in the long term. Pluto has officially entered the chat of your Aquarius 12th House of private SPIRITUAL practice, the subconscious and shadow self. The transformation catalyst and powerful chthonic guide is here to uncover that which has been hidden within you until 2044. Your underworld journey to psychological and EMOTIONAL empowerment will reveal suppressed strengths and talents, as well as repressed impulses and wounds. All arises for integration, so keep a dream journal on-hand, don’t miss a meditation and know it never hurts to have therapeutic help and guidance. You’ll be glad to have a safe container devoted to your inner growth.

From PBs and FKTs to (Type 5 Fun) Transcendence, we’re committed to get the timing right.

ARIES & ARIES RISING

March looks to be the biggest month of the year for you yet. On March 12th, prideful Jupiter meets Chiron, a minor planet signifying our core trauma and the METAPHYSICAL expertise we must cultivate to integrate it. This takes place in your 1st house of self concept and the body, so compassionate Jupiter offers a powerful opportunity to heal an insecurity or sense of shame in this area. Chiron specializes in holistic techniques, so veering left of center will yield exciting possibilities. March 19-21st, brilliant insights and newfound clarity refresh your MENTALITY. On March 19, the cerebral planet of cognition Mercury enters your sign, followed by the illuminating Sun the next day, March 20th. This epiphanic moment is crowned by an Aries New Moon on March 21st, all of this at once renewing your sense of self, as well as sparking a novel outlook. A soul-searching Pisces Sun and prescient Pisces Mercury both encounter enchanting Neptune in your sleepy and introspective 12th house on March 17th. Seek out SPIRITUAL solace in solitude—quiet contemplation, Vision Questing, lucid dreaming and subconscious journeying engenders inspiring realizations. The first week of March is marked by exciting opportunities for EMOTIONAL healing and phenomenal vibrations. Venus, the social planet of sweetness and pleasure, meets joyful and optimistic Jupiter in your sign on March 2nd, before connecting with alternative healer Chiron the next day. You’ll be positively incandescent and if so desired, effortlessly manifest rejuvenating new connections. This is a great time to join an Endurance Cult or experience the self-transcend state of awe while on a shared adventure.

TAURUS & TAURUS RISING

Taureans awake from slumber in the second half of March as your sensorial ruler Venus, leaves your sleepy, isolated 12th house for your own sign and PHYSICAL 1st house on March 16th. Venus revitalizes and stimulates your infatuation with the natural world. Go Inside The Outside and push your P*S*M*E* Limits. Warning: Your spirit for adventure may become all-consuming when Venus meets the obsessive North Node on March 21st so be wary of intoxicants and remember to recon before sending all unknown or unfamiliar lines. Pluto, the catalytic planet of death, metamorphosis and rebirth, enters your Aquarius 10th house of career, achievements and legacy on March 23rd. Mark this week in your calendars, as your mind may hereafter be gripped by a desire for power and preeminence for the next twenty years. Yet, this empowerment calls for a very public, Plutonian underworld journey, entailing massive opportunities to upscale alongside the massive challenges inherent to reaching for the top. A supportive MENTAL mindset reset is spurred on March 25th, as Mars enters your Cancer 3rd house of daily mentality, anchoring your growth in self-care and emotional intelligence. The Aries New Moon in your quiet and introspective 12th house on March 21st comes right in time, as Pluto brings gale-force winds of change into your public life merely two days later. In the few days surrounding this New Moon, take plenty of time for rest and SPIRITUAL recuperation.  The return of your ruler Venus to your sign and 1st house of self on March 16th will also benefit your EMOTIONAL life. Venus is sweet, pleasurable and sociable, so be sure to get plenty of IRL sessions in.

GEMINI & GEMINI RISING

Mars, planet of willpower and strength, finally departs your sign for the first time since October 2022 this month. An over three month long Mars retrograde followed by a shadow period in your 1st house of the body, will likely be a major drag on your PHYSICAL PMA until mid-March. The wayward Martian presence in your sign may have even put a damper on your Metaphysical Fitness goals for this new year. Though by March 25th, Gemini’s are freed of Mars’ reign. Now is the time to plant a flag and commit to a program, a race, a competition, an event, an FKT, an ATB, etc. On March 16th and 17th you may find yourself called forth into the spotlight to speak your MENTAL mind, though this event may be uncomfortable and even cause some confusion about how you’re perceived. Be genuine and speak honestly, though make a point to be as clear as possible while avoiding self-righteousness. At best, you could inspire and encourage others with your candor. Transformational Pluto previews its twenty year long transit through your Aquarius 9th house of SPIRITUALITY, worldviews and quests, beginning March 23rd. Additionally, purifying Venus enters her own sign of Taurus in your contemplative 12th house on March 16th. If you’ve craved a new spiritual path or radical shift of perspective, a potent influence could enter and alter your life later this month. The Virgo Full Moon on March 7th occurs in your 4th house of home, family and personal roots. Full Moons overflow with EMOTION, though this one may be laced with some anxiety due to a tense contact with Mars in your sign. Be chill when interacting with family or housemates as you could accidentally create friction otherwise. Channel this edgy energy into your professional calling, striving for excellence, as this is a great time for a competition.

CANCER & CANCER RISING

Your lunar ruler ripens to fullness on March 7th, at the Virgo Full Moon. With so much PHYSICAL energy placed in your 3rd house of short distance travel and the local environment, you’re called to venture out to local landscapes to do an epic sub24O. Use discernment and get good beta because this journey is best taken solo. Pushing and challenging your Physical limits could be good for your PMA and P*S*M*E* system. The Full Moon in Virgo is one of the most important times of the month for Cancerians. The full phase of the lunar cycle is associated with fruition including MENTAL and SPIRITUAL elevation. You could experience a newfound maturity both in your daily mindset, as well as in your overarching worldview at this time. The enlightening Sun and mindful Mercury connect with mystical Neptune in your 9th house of metaphysics and philosophy, all opposing the service-oriented Full Moon in Virgo. This combination signifies a prudent, somatically centered spirituality, grounded in ecological stewardship. Go Inside The Outside and be your own Future Nature. Get ready to EMOTIONALLY invest in and commit to a new way of leading and being seen by the wider world. At the Aries New Moon on March 21st, you sow seeds for immense growth in your Aries 10th house of career, achievements, reputation and legacy. Jupiter in Aries fertilizes this occasion, promising that whatever is cultivated at this time and in the following weeks, grows to brilliant heights.

LEO & LEO RISING

The golden, vitalizing ruler of your sign, the Sun, enters its exaltation sign Aries, on March 20th. A luminary, or planet in its exalted sign, is given the royal treatment and for the regal Sun, nothing less would suffice. When the Sun is in Aries, a new solar year begins and Leo’s may feel renewed from the inside-out. PHYSICAL excellence, honor and glory are your birthright. Now is the time to razzle, and the time to dazzle. With this energized empowerment, challenges and competitors are at your mercy. Do an FKT, cross the Alps, discover a new continent. Your overarching MENTALITY and SPIRITUAL POV is up for rebirth this March. A pioneering Aries New Moon occurs in your 9th house of worldviews, beliefs and quests for knowledge on March 21st, following the entry of both your ruler the Sun and intellectual Mercury into this intrepid sign. Be boldly visionary, utilizing your solar gift of insight to see your ideal reality already actualized and manifested. Embrace your unique magic and creative imagination, and tap into your spiritual power. Relationships become the primary site of catalytic EMOTIONAL transformation in your life, beginning on March 23rd. Pluto, the underworld overlord, enters your Aquarius 7th house of partnerships, contracts and agreements on that day. This spring marks a critical preview, as despite a retrograde dance between Capricorn and Aquarius over the next two years, Pluto will settle into this part of your chart for two decades by 2024. Pluto purges to empower, so prepare to discard poor relational behaviors and be relieved of toxic bonds beginning this month. That they adore or admire you, is no longer enough Leo.

VIRGO & VIRGO RISING

A PHYSICAL focus dominates this month, as a Full Moon blossoms in your sign on March 7th. While a full Moon in the 1st house presents an excellent time to assess your general wellness, with Mars occupying your dialed-in Gemini 10th house of career, achievements and public image, you may find yourself wanting to flex your Metaphysical Fitness in front of a live-stream audience. Build a route, document it, get sponsored. Your big picture perspectives on life are especially symbiotic with a healthy  MENTAL outlook and honest self-image this March. Your approach to the Taurus 9th house topics of SPIRITUALITY—the moral universe and the sacred quest for genius—is likely eccentrically traditional, charmingly unorthodox or purely paganistic. Mental and spiritual liberation is elucidated via the sensual world, think mycelial networks, morphic resonance, the science of Awe, Harmonic Convergence, Collective Consciousness, Rapture, etc. On March 7th, Saturn, cold and dry planet of structure, maturity, contraction and discipline, enters your Pisces 7th house of partnership, intimate relationships, contracts and exchanges. This is Saturn’s first venture outside of its own domicile signs, Capricorn and Aquarius, since 2018. In your Pisces 7th, Saturn could show up as an older or more mature new associate, ready to encourage your growth within a container of commitment and devotion. Alternatively, Saturn signifies endings, blockages and difficulties, so ongoing relationships could be tested. Practice radical empathy and be open EMOTIONALLY flexible. 

LIBRA & LIBRA RISING

The illuminating Sun spends the majority of the month in your 6th house of health, illness and injury, pulling your attention to your Metaphysical Fitness Programs and potential challenges in this area of life. Saturn, planet of difficulties, order and discipline arrives in your 6th house on March 7th and will spend three years here in Pisces, further emphasizing the importance of a well-structured approach to pushing your PHYSICAL limitations in the pursuit of Endurance and Transformation. Librans minds are likely to be entirely pre-occupied by relationships this month. The focalizing Sun enters your Aries 7th house of alliances on March 20th and the following day there is a New Moon there as well. This marks exciting beginnings on the MENTAL and EMOTIONAL planes, leading to even deeper relational wisdom than you already possess. Jupiter in Aries’ generous support brings an elating sense of wonder to newfound bonds, while Mercury in Aries further refines your emotional intelligence. All of this psycho-emotional coursework prepares you quite well for the new Plutonian paradigm. Catalytic Pluto enters your Aquarius 5th house of romance, artistry and Play on March 23rd, ushering in a twenty year process of recreational, erotic and creative transformation. *Please if you’re reading this and it rings true, contact MSO immediately about potential collaborations and projects as you are IN THE ZONE. The Virgo Full Moon on March 7th takes place in your secluded and contemplative 12th house. Take a moment at this time to consider the fullness of silence, as well as the claustrophobia of solitude. There is a hushed anxiety underlying this Full Moon, due to a vexing contact with jittery Mars in Gemini. Seek your SPIRITUAL sanctuary in the natural world and Experience Earth’s Energies. Take a moss nap, become a Hot Springs Wizard, make time for a moonlit Forest ASMR session—connect to Mother Earth.

SCORPIO & SCORPIO RISING

Saturn enters your Pisces 5th house of athletics, creative Play and hobbies on March 7th to spend three years restructuring these aspects of your life. Saturn is the planet of authority, discipline and hierarchy, yet the 5th house is a highly PHYSICAL place of leisure and Type 1 Fun, so this may feel contradictory. If you participate in team events or various types of Endurance Clubs, it may be time to step up to the mantle of leadership and take on a Guide role. Practicing optimism and patience will soothe you on this journey. Pluto, the catalytic planet of challenging transformation, finally leaves your Capricorn 3rd house of daily mindset on March 23rd, where it has stoked earth shaking MENTAL change since 2008. Now that you’re on the other side of Pluto’s death to rebirth cycle, how will you utilize your hard won wit and mental fortitude for your own development? Raw self expression, especially with language or multimedia, is your primal power! This is a great time to start a media channel dedicated to answering the greatest Endurance question of all time:  Shaman Pluto ventures into the mysterious underworld that is your Aquarius 4th house of ancestry, homeland and foundational self on March 23rd, spending the next two decades there. Pluto is like a miner, excavating the dark unknown to extract precious resources of immense SPIRITUAL value. While the job is dirty, tracing personal shadows into the recesses of family history could prove both revelatory and profoundly healing. The last week of March could consist of extreme, yet oddly beautiful EMOTIONAL states, as your Taurus 7th house of relationship is uniquely highlighted. Venus will encounter the insatiable North Node and eccentric Uranus there, so keep an eye out for wildly persistent parties, personally or professionally. Enjoy yourself, though read between the lines and don’t over commit.

SAGITTARIUS & SAGITTARIUS RISING

Your ruler, Jupiter, continues its ceremonial parade through your Aries 5th house of artistry, leisure activities and PHYSICAL pursuits this month. Alongside dashing Venus in Aries, Jupiter ensures that centaurs especially benefit from the sweetest, most favorable meeting in astrology. The Venus-Jupiter conjunction is closest on March 2nd, yet this physically energizing transit will be effective through March 16th, glowing you up to angelic radiance from within. On March 7th, melancholic Saturn departs your Aquarius 3rd house of communication, local environs and daily mindset, likely leaving behind a far more structured, pragmatic and austere approach to your communicative skills and MENTAL hygiene. On that same day, a Virgo Full Moon in your 10th house of career, achievements and legacy, offers a potential peak success or even a satisfying closure born from the maturation Saturn prompted over these last three years. The SPIRITUAL and psycho-EMOTIONAL journey Sagittarians experience this month comes to an apogee in the latter portion. The ruler of your 9th house of spirituality and beliefs, the Sun, enters Aries, then meets the Moon, Mercury and Jupiter there, beginning on March 20th. Your Aries 5th house is concerned with raucous pleasure seeking, solo pursuits, punk creativity and the wild child within. The spiritually guiding light that is the Sun in collaboration with the somatic Moon, cogniscient Mercury and sage Jupiter, emphasizes the metaphysical necessity of all four types of Play; Competition, Chance, Role Playing and Vertigo. Your inner child is the enlightened master this month and at the Aries New Moon on March 21st, shed the artifice of adulthood in favor of raw awe.

CAPRICORN & CAPRICORN RISING

On March 7th, your ruler and indicator of your bodily wellbeing Saturn, leaves the signs of its own domicile for the first time in six years. Saturn enters your Pisces 3rd house, ruled by Jupiter, on that day. Your PHYSICAL wellness practices and Metaphysical Fitness priorities could take on a whole new dimension with Saturn in your expansive, intuitive 3rd house of communication,  MENTAL patterns and daily rituals. Saturn is concerned with limits, order and discipline. So in overflowing and permeable Pisces, Saturn asks you to create boundaries, set systems in place and seal leakages. What aspects of your daily life and mindset work to your detriment? Capricorns are notorious for their grit and work ethic, so it’s only expected that you’ll address oversights and excel with ease. Have you felt as if you’re getting closer to some great SPIRITUAL or philosophical insight? Something very much grounded in research, study and honest practice? The Full Moon in studious Virgo on March 7th takes place in your 9th house of metaphysics, visionary quests and spiritual awakenings, alongside Saturn’s entry into the opposite Pisces 3rd house of daily mindset, this indicates that something major is being born through your perspective of reality. As they say, when the student is ready, the teacher will arrive. An Aries New Moon in your 4th house of family, homeland and the foundational self, takes place alongside the brilliant Sun, inquisitive Mercury and gallant Jupiter in Aries. The house is full and subsequently, EMOTIONS may be blazing like wildfire, though not in a negative sense. This is an optimistic New Moon for you sea-goat, oriented towards renewal within and personal self-development through the context of familial relationships. At this time the best tool is emotional intelligence and the great reward is inherited wisdom, that which is rooted in our bodies. 

AQUARIUS & AQUARIUS RISING

In more ways than one, March is without a doubt the biggest month of the year for Aquarius! First, your ruler, stable, challenging, disciplined and systematic Saturn leaves your sign for the first time in three years on March 7th. Saturn in your 1st house of the body and self concept may have brought up serious issues with PHYSICAL malaise, a downgrade in energy levels or simply increased signs of aging; Saturn rules aging and maturation. Now that rigid Saturn is moving on, you should feel the increased PMA and renewed physical energy needed to commit once again to the Program. Saturn’s presence in your 1st house may have impacted your MENTAL health as well, as the 1st house deals with our sense of self and overall well being. Any lingering melancholy, feelings of self-limitation, will hopefully dissipate as Saturn continues into your Pisces 2nd house of personal finances and possessions. Though, the biggest storyline for you water-bearers, is Pluto’s entry into your sign on March 23rd! Metamorphic Pluto will journey through your 1st house until 2044, purging you of toxic and outdated self concepts and mental processes. Pluto tills through degeneration, then sows the conditions for renewal. By the end of this two decade transit, you may be lucky enough to experience the rarest of rare; Type 4 and Type 5 Fun. On March 7th, a Full Moon in your Virgo 8th house of trauma, disruptive experiences and endings, asks for your EMOTIONAL surrender to circumstances that are out of your immediate control. This may relate to a shift in your value set as joy and pleasure are not always your top priority. This Full Moon demands that you be more compassionate with yourself and allow for some playful distraction from time to time. Remember, Aquarius is like a SPIRITUAL scientist and life is a Metaphysical experiment. Note: experiments cannot be perfectly controlled and a margin for error must be allowed.  

PISCES & PISCES RISING

With both the vitalizing Sun and sprightly Mercury in your sign until the 19th and 20th, Pisceans feel empowered and luminous. Solar power supercharges your confidence and Mercury in the 1st house encourages movement and flexibility. Embrace PHYSICAL challenges and competitions with confidence, as the Sun elevates us and offers the inner authority necessary to achieve. Saturn enters your sign on March 7, ushering a new regimen of discipline, routine and strenuous training. Unexpectedly, Saturn is a great pairing for the solar presence, reigning in excess and keeping you on the Program. Saturn’s entry into your 1st house also impacts your MENTAL wellness, as this house indicates the health of our whole system. Saturn is somewhat rigid and melancholic, so maintaining a high vibe and PMA coupled with a personal development mindset, will offset the more challenging side of Saturn. With Saturn, perfection may be the ideal but as all Subject Athletes know, perfection does not truly exist in this world, genuine enduring effort will do just fine. Pluto, transformation catalyst and underworld shaman, enters your secluded Aquarius 12th house of the subconscious on March 23rd. Pluto will spend the better part of twenty years in this area of your chart. Pluto promises to purge your subconscious of all toxic elements that no longer serve you, with SPIRITUAL clarity and liberation being the ultimate outcome. Although, much like a plant medicine journey, the purification stage can be deeply uncomfortable. Anchor yourself with meditative techniques to practice the surrender necessary to endure the challenges inherent to this transit. On March 7th, a Virgo Full Moon in your 7th house of partnerships and alliances calls attention to your most intimate bonds from professional to romantic, even familial relations. There may be some EMOTIONAL stress or drama in these relationships at this time, due to misperceptions. Speak from the heart and advocate for yourself to diffuse any unnecessary confusion.

Now that the planet of action, courage and strength moves full speed ahead, it’s time to leap back into your favorite PHYSICAL pursuits.

Ironically, in line with your dual nature, you’ve been the unfortunate victim of not one but two retrogrades so far this year – Mars retrograde in your own sign, as well as your ruler Mercury’s retrograde in Capricorn! Both ended in January, so in a way it’s as if the new year is just starting for you in February. MENTALly speaking, Mercury direct and out of your taxing Capricorn eighth house ensures a lucid and constructive state of mind moving forward. The enlightening Sun meets methodical Saturn in your Aquarius ninth house on February 16.

Metaphysical communion like Type 4 Fun and Harmonic Convergences could offer you immense gratitude and a lasting sense of peace. Lions will be tested at the Pisces New Moon on February 20 in your eighth house. The eighth house is signified by fears, endings and EMOTIONALly taxing experiences. As this New Moon faces off with Mars in your Gemini eleventh house of community and groups, there’s some potential for conflict in your social circles.

VIRGO & VIRGO RISING

Time for a Status Report! Your analytic and deductive ruler Mercury enters your Aquarius sixth house of health troubles, PHYSICAL routines and wellness practitioners, on February 11. Mercury prefers to get down to business and dive into the details. Take precaution. Think about prevention. As your MENTAL ruler spends most of the month in a fixed air sign, Aquarius, your mindset may be set on the additional sixth house matters of all things “The Program,” like service, chores and labor. February is an excellent month to implement new processes and systems both at work and at home. Organize your physical environments, dial in your program, and systematically pair down to the essentials like a laptop, one bike with two sets of wheels (650s and 700s), an electric toothbrush, a Dyneema backpack. The Leo Full Moon on February 5 takes place in your twelfth house of chrysalis and solitude. Something luminous is coming forth from the shadows. As this Full Moon opposes solitary Saturn in Aquarius, it’s to your advantage to embrace the contemplative and SPIRITUAL aspects of this house. Meditation, Vision Questing, solo Sub240, vows of silence, isolation tanks, and Vortices are all means to experience the light, power and pull of this Full Moon. The lunar cycle impacts you significantly this month! A new chapter in your relationships opens alongside the Pisces New Moon on February 20 in your seventh house of partnership. Your typically cooler disposition may be remixed by this New Moon, in favor of more EMOTIONAL vulnerability. A contact between the Moon and Mars places your true feelings out in the open—on TikTok.

LIBRA & LIBRA RISING

During the early half of February, your sensorial ruler, Venus, journeys through your Pisces sixth house of health matters, service and PHYSICAL routines. Until Venus leaves this part of your chart on February 20, self-care and maintaining a balanced lifestyle are paramount. Focus on Piscean-themed pursuits such as Freediving, Hot Springs and Packrafting. Guardian of the MENTAL realm, Mercury, sprints into your Aquarius fifth house of pleasure, romance and Play on February 11, remaining throughout the month. With Mercury in Aquarius, Librans are tasked with employing their intellect in playful ways such as route building and line making. Embracing your eccentricities could be liberating. Wear hats with flaps. Forest Bathe nude. Write intentionally bad, rhyming poems about weather, and submit them to MSO at +1 (855) 763-1086. Lean into you. Mars is now direct in your Gemini ninth house of SPIRITUAL beliefs, philosophies and metaphysical journeys. After a long retrograde that began in late October of 2022, be prepared to re-embark on any Visionary Quests you may have placed on pause in the fall. Bilbo Baggins, Siddhartha, Shackleton and Obi Wan Kenobi are looking down on you from the other side of a Vortex and encouraging you to hitchhike and/or XC ski to Cody, Wyoming—when you get there, ask for JuiceMan the Hot Springs Wizard. They’ll know what to do next. A transformative and EMOTIONALly powerful message may erupt from the depths of your past on February 10. In its final nod to Pluto before the planet of the underworld enters Aquarius in late March, Mercury the herald has one last rendezvous with Pluto in your Capricorn fourth house of heritage, family and homelands. What you once thought to be dead, done and decided may shout “rebate!” before dropping into your life again.

SCORPIO & SCORPIO RISING

Release the pressure! Your ruler Mars is finally direct in Gemini, where it spent the final quarter of 2022 and the first month of the new year in retrograde. As Mars was functioning in a regressive manner, it may have correlated with inconsistent energy, fatigue and low PMA. Scorpions are invited to push their PHYSICAL limits as your natural vitality and Endurance returns to full force. On February 10, MENTAL Mercury meets Pluto, planet of depths and metamorphosis in your Capricorn third house of daily mindset and self expression. Do you have something powerful and possibly disruptive to say? Plutonian emanations can overwhelm us when triggered through the subconscious, so avoid unnecessary pain and simply surrender to this moment of catharsis. The mental and the metaphysical are intertwined this month, as the powerful meeting of Mercury and Pluto in Capricorn, shifts the ground on which you relied. Mercury’s venture into your Aquarius fourth house of foundational identity the following day, February 11, carries a wholly renewed SPIRITUAL perspective into your core to be nurtured and observed in the weeks and months to come. Are you falling in love? While you are known to be cautious in romance, an intoxicating new beginning is indicated at the Pisces New Moon on February 20. Whatever is developing could be serious and EMOTIONALly entangling enough to provoke your strongest defense mechanisms. Trust your instincts and intuition.

SAGITTARIUS & SAGITTARIUS RISING

On February 14, your ruler, triumphant and gregarious Jupiter, leaves its retrograde shadow period. A fresh buoyancy and increased PMA should arise within, as you finally shake off the last remnants of that which held you back at the end of 2022. Celebrate this personal upliftment by going Inside The Outside to push your PHYSICAL limits in the pursuit of transformation and radical rapture. Bring a friend! A couple days later on February 16, the clarifying Sun meets concrete Saturn in the abstract and cerebral sign of Aquarius, your third house of daily mindset and MENTAL thought processes. A serious new frame of mind is under development here, and the executive Sun is like a CEO at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. What innovative or avant-garde ideas will you pursue? A skimo binding that finally descends as well as it climbs? A reality TV show about subverting and sabotaging The Algorithm and/or EPA-violating capitalists? A brand of clothing with Time-Release Tech™ and wellness poultices built-in? The Leo Full Moon in your ninth house of higher SPIRITUALity, philosophy and Vision Quests, on February 5, presents an exciting, yet challenging opportunity – whatever macro perspective or metaphysical belief you double down on at this time (e.g. Harmonic Convergence—mass meditation events—can change the weather), sets the stage for the micro mindset you’ll enact later in the month with the Sun-Saturn conjunction in Aquarius. The impact will be lasting, so follow your heart. The heat turns up when Venus, planet of romance, sensuality and pleasure, enters your Aries fifth house of Play, artistic creativity and sexuality on February 20! Jupiter, your ruler and planet of fortune, joy and excess is already present in this house, so centaurs are sure to receive a double whammy of positive, EMOTIONALly delicious energy by the month’s end.

CAPRICORN & CAPRICORN RISING

Frenetic and mobile Mercury remains in your sign until February 11, making you even more productive than usual. Anything you can do to release excess PHYSICAL energy, such as a low elevation overnight Orienteering Odyssey or planking to failure, will prove beneficial. The very last day of Mercury’s presence in your sign is the Mercury-Pluto conjunction. As you feel explosive vitality building, be prepared to channel that energy into pushing limits and transcending geographical particulars such as elevation and latitude/longitude. Venus’ transit through your Pisces third house of mindset, immediate environment and club kin, places a MENTAL emphasis on socializing and generously expressing yourself until February 20, the day of the Pisces New Moon. You’ll likely be very busy throughout the month writing essays about glaciers, taking meetings (maybe about climate change), Zooming with a team of collaborators, road tripping to Experience Earth’s Energies with friends, exploring fall lines in the Fell Lands with your crew, etc. The Leo Full Moon on February 5, in your eighth house of taxing circumstances, endings and entanglements, poses a SPIRITUAL quandary. Turn to your Mentors, Coaches, Shamans, Guides, Empaths, Therapists and Mythical State Of Celestial Beta, if you feel overcome by eighth house anxieties. A more mature, though potentially intimidating new grasp of your financial capacity is on the table this month. The Leo Full Moon opposes your authoritative and somewhat unforgiving ruler Saturn in your second house of finances and possessions. Full Moons are highly EMOTIONAL culminations of energy, so instead of letting latent fears get the best of you, reflect on what you’ve already overcome!

AQUARIUS & AQUARIUS RISING

With the vitalizing Sun in your sign until February 18, not only are all eyes on you (they are), you’ll feel the radiant glow of inner confidence! Be PHYSICAL. Set records. Break FKTs. Compete. Podium. Do dance competitions. Enter a trail Parkour event. FInd limits. Listen to the body, Ignore the body. The end of the month gifts your keen Aquarian mind with a double dose of positivity and optimism. Venus, planet of love and beauty, enters your Aries third house of daily MENTAL mindset on February 20, joining magnanimous Jupiter. These two benefic planets share the love big time, as their bright and cheerful energies combine to boost your PMA to cosmic levels. By the end of the month, be prepared to synthesize sunshine, levitate, walk through walls, time travel and do telekinesis. February 10 poses a moment of difficult, though necessary SPIRITUAL insights as Mercury meets Pluto in your secluded Capricorn twelfth house. Cathartic and metamorphic Pluto has been excavating the deepest depths of your shadow territory since 2008, and Mercury’s last rendezvous with the underworld god, before Pluto breaks through to Aquarius in March, is likely to bring a powerful revelation to the surface. Sit tight and breathe through it. Challenges in your most intimate relationships kick off the month, as a Leo Full Moon in your seventh house of partnership opposes your ruler Saturn in your own sign. Be careful not to be immovable and severe if EMOTIONAL conflict comes to the fore. Bitch, be chill.

PISCES & PISCES RISING

Do you need a new Subject Athlete Program or metaPHYSICAL fitness path? The illuminating Sun enters your sign on February 18, and just two days later, there is a New Moon in Pisces. The meeting of the life-enhancing Sun and the intuitive Moon in your sign signals an exciting opportunity to heal and refresh your relationship with your body. Take some time at this New Moon to listen in, perhaps through Forest Bathing, Sub240 Vision Questing, Hot Spring-based meditation and gentle Type 1 Fun pursuits like Sex, Smoothies, Frozen Yogurt and Aurora Borealis. In the weeks leading up to the Pisces New Moon on February 20, make good use of Venus’ presence in your sign, as she is the ruler of your Taurus third house of daily MENTAL mindset, communication and expression. Until Venus departs your sign for Aries, on the same day as the New Moon, you’ll feel better equipped to understand and articulate who you truly are, with both charm and intellect. Feeling a newfound zeal for your metaphysical or philosophical interests? Mars, ruler of your Scorpio ninth house of worldviews, SPIRITUALity and Quests, is finally direct again in Gemini, reviving your curiosity and freeing you to deepen your esoteric explorations into the power of Harmonic Convergence, biorhythms and the Collective Consciousness. Pisceans tend to take spiritual pursuits quite seriously, and if you’ve wavered in that since late October 2022, your focus and devotion should return in full force. On February 5, the day of the Leo Full Moon, there may be some EMOTIONAL tension to work through. Saturn, which has transited your Aquarius twelfth house of seclusion, the subconscious and secrets since 2020, opposes the Leo Full Moon. If you’re feeling kinda gnar, burnt-out and low PMA at this time, get serious about setting boundaries, self-care and recuperation.

ARIES & ARIES RISING

Rams regain their footing at the top of the year, as your ruler Mars goes direct in Gemini on January 12. Mars has spent a long retrograde in the curious sign of the twins, your Gemini third house of short travels and local community. Now that the planet of strength is no longer retrograde, it’s time for you to push your PHYSICAL limits Inside The Outside. The Mars retrograde in Gemini may have impacted other third house matters, such as mentation and communication. But with competitive Mars now direct, it’s time to exercise your MENTAL acuity and flex your problem solving skills in the field; geocaching, orienteering, Dead Reckoning, survival shelter construction, etc. The end of this first month of the year brings a revelation of self-love as sweet Venus enters your Pisces twelfth house on January 27. The twelfth is a place of solitude and introspection, so while Venus is the planet of our relationships, this transit is dedicated to the one we maintain within ourselves. This is a great time for a SPIRITUAL adventure such as a Vision Quest or Utiseta. The year begins with an EMOTIONAL bang for Aries, as a Cancer Full Moon forms in your fourth house of core identity and inner depths on January 6. The source of your strong feelings may be family or even health-related, so be gentle with yourself (PMA!) and choose self-care like breathwork and meditation first.

TAURUS & TAURUS RISING

As your ruler Venus enters your Aquarius tenth house of status and achievement on January 3, it’s time to Get PHYSICAL—”Let me hear your body Talk”-Olivia Newton John— and set some records and personal bests. MENTALLY prepare for a perspective-altering insight on January 18, as the Capricorn Sun meets up with Pluto in Capricorn. This conjunction takes place in your ninth house of philosophy and worldview. Pluto exacts powerful metamorphosis and the Sun enlightens us—rather than fear a new vision, lean into it. Jupiter has returned to your secluded Aries twelfth house, sanctifying your SPIRITUAL solitude. Jupiter’s generosity infuses your “alone time” with opportunities for enlightenment, transformation and transcendence. This is a great time for both sound and forest bathing on the way to New Hope. Push your EMOTIONAL limits on January 6, as a caring Cancer Full Moon forms in your expressive third house. Mercury in Capricorn opposes the Full Moon, offering much thoughtfulness.

GEMINI & GEMINI RISING

Mars, planet of action and athleticism, has been retrograde in your sign since late August 2022. On January 12, when Mars goes direct, your PHYSICAL powers will be returned to you. With that said, your ruler Mercury is retrograde in Capricorn until January 18, so chickity-check yo’ self before you wreck yo’ self. On January 21, there is a New Moon in your Aquarius ninth house. The ninth house is concerned with beliefs, philosophies and MENTAL quests. A New Moon in this part of the chart signals a new way of seeing the world, and in avant-garde and articulate Aquarius—New Hope is on the horizon. Matters of personal security and finances may be top of mind and heart on January 6. An EMOTIONALLY nourishing Cancer Full Moon, in your second house, encourages you to enjoy your creature comforts (like new socks or a vital-yet-delicious smoothie), seek support (like a coach or a guide), and honor your values. Oh, and there may be a comforting culmination regarding your income. An Aquarius New Moon on January 21 occurs in your ninth house of SPIRITUAL worldviews, religion and belief systems. By the end of the month, you may find yourself at the leading edge of a visionary philosophy or even restructuring your personal matrix. Finding a community or an Endurance Cult that resonates with this Great Awakening is vital.

CANCER & CANCER RISING

In addition to ruling your sign, the Moon relates to the body, ecology and wellbeing in astrology. A Cancer Full Moon on January 6 is an empowering day for you. This climactic, lucid moment could clarify a holistic wellness path forward. Retrograde Mercury in Capricorn delivers granular but concise information that could aid you on your PHYSICAL odyssey. The return of Jupiter to Aries, in your tenth house of leadership, trail cred and achievements, places your MENTAL mind squarely on massive wins and elevating your status. Jupiter is the planet of success and growth, so now that it’s in competitive Aries until May, your top priority should be pushing limits and reaching your full potential. The latter part of January finds Cancerians exploring their EMOTIONAL depths, as an Aquarius New Moon occurs in your enigmatic eighth house. The New Moon is a period naturally associated with mystery and new birth, so on January 21 in the eighth house of material and emotional entanglements, something new sparks in your most intimate relationships. Did you find that your meditative practice was more difficult to maintain since August 2022? Disruptive Mars has been retrograde in your contemplative and secluded Gemini twelfth house since that time, though goes direct on January 12. SPIRITUAL distractions or irritations may not cease entirely, though your will to overcome them will return.

LEO & LEO RISING

Your ruler, the brilliant Sun, spends most of January in your Capricorn sixth house of health, routine and hygiene. Until January 20, your focus should be designing and refining your METAPHYSICAL Fitness Program. With the Sun in the sixth house, health concerns could be both illuminated and improved. In roughly the same amount of time the Sun continues in Capricorn, Mercury remains retrograde there. Until January 18, analytical Mercury’s retrograde in Capricorn prompts you to further review or reassess sixth house MENTAL matters. At the December 2022 Winter Solstice, Jupiter re-entered Aries and your ninth house of Vision Quests, worldviews and philosophies. Generous and wise Jupiter’s presence in this inspired part of the chart may stoke you to push your SPIRITUAL limits in the pursuit of New Hope. Congenial and loving Venus spends the month in your Aquarius seventh house of partnership and agreement. January is the perfect month to make both real and deep EMOTIONAL connections.

VIRGO & VIRGO RISING

Quicksilver Mercury, your ruler, is retrograde in the resolute sign of Capricorn until January 18. This retrograde period could find Virgos feeling PHYSICALLY sub-optimal. You are known to be a perfectionist, but with this retrograde you need to chill. Sweat, but don’t sweat it. You are typically keen, but with your deductive ruler Mercury in retrograde this month, your MENTAL game may be a bit off. The eighth house is a challenging part of the chart where we encounter endings and entanglements, especially within intimate or occult relationships. Maybe during this time don’t seek out Type 3 Fun and/or go on a Vertical Vision Quest in Joshua Tree. The good news is that Jupiter’s return to Aries may mitigate some of the malaise and SPIRITUAL gnar. Your Aquarius sixth house is action-packed, with a New Moon there on January 21 alongside tranquil Venus and challenging Saturn. Venus-Saturn in Aquarius indicates a sober and emancipated approach to relationships. In the sixth house, places of labor and service are emphasized, so bond EMOTIONALLY with colleagues over shared difficulties and challenges.

LIBRA & LIBRA RISING

On January 3, Librans’ PHYSICAL and playful Aquarius fifth house is visited by Venus, planet of pleasure. Your fifth house is again emphasized later in the month, as the dazzling Sun enters Aquarius on January 20 and a New Moon occurs there the very next day, January 21. This is a great time to crew-up, go Inside The Outside, and push your PSME limits in the pursuit of transformation and transcendence. And, if you’re lucky, rapture. Mars is freed from a long retrograde period in your Gemini ninth house on January 12. Since late August, you may have been fighting a reassessment of your World Views and Future Nature. While your intellectual MENTAL comfort zone may have won the first round, with Mars direct, it’s time to shake-up and evolve familiar frameworks or perspectives. It’s time for New Hope. Ancestors may influence or even transform your SPIRITUALITY this month from Beyond. The enlightening Sun meets alchemical Pluto in your Capricorn fourth house on January 18. The following day, discerning Mercury in Capricorn’s retrograde ends. The fourth house deals with our roots and heritage, so these transits promise to uncover what’s been hidden. Illuminate the mysteries of your family of origin to better understand your true source. Call a medium, float in a large body of water, visit Mt Shasta and Experience Earth’s Energies. The Cancer Full Moon, in your tenth house of public image, leadership and achievements, is bound to make a serious EMOTIONAL impact on January 6. Cancer Moons overflow with authentic feeling, so in your career house, it’s possible that your usual composure wobbles and you feel safe to share in a very public way. Push limits, be vulnerable.

SCORPIO & SCORPIO RISING

If you’ve been experiencing PHYSICAL challenges, Jupiter’s return to your Aries sixth house of health and wellness will be welcomed. Joyful and generous Jupiter is self-focused in the most positive way while in Aries: now is the time for Radical Health Care and pioneering fresh practices. Clouded thought, delays and mixed messages may cause inconveniences this month, as MENTAL Mercury is retrograde in your Capricorn third house until January 18. The third house relates to local travel, daily mindset, media and communication skills, so look out for reversals, disturbances and revisions in these areas. Focus on biorhythms, not algorithms. On the day the retrograde ends, the brilliant Sun meets probing Pluto in Capricorn, bringing stunning clarity and powerful insights. A Cancer Full Moon on January 6, in your ninth house of worldviews and beliefs, offers a culmination on your path. Whether you’ve found family in a SPIRITUAL community, or have been helped by psychedelic therapeutics like ayahuasca or guided MDMA tours into the upside down, a comforting cosmic vision tangibly manifests in your life. Home and hearth are highlighted at the Aquarius New Moon on January 21. Compassionate Venus and cool-headed Saturn come together in your Aquarius fourth house of roots and heritage the following day. This latter part of the month entails an EMOTIONAL emphasis on family and your own internal resources. Embody kind boundaries and fairness.

SAGITTARIUS & SAGITTARIUS RISING

Your ruler, Jupiter, is on the up, and back in full-stoke Aries to start this year off. A boon for centaurs, Jupiter in a fellow fire sign until May 16 is vitalizing and PHYSICALLY triumphant. Your Metaphysical Fitness and energy levels are sure to benefit from this, along with Jupiter supporting you in competition, adventure and exploration. Kindness and extroversion abound once Venus enters your Aquarius third house on January 3. The third house deals with our kin, MENTAL mindset, local community and communication style, so once the Sun enters Aquarius on January 20, followed by an Aquarius New Moon January 21, plan on being booked and engaged. The transit of metaphysical Jupiter through your Aries fifth house of childhood, art, Play and entertainment, does not leave much energy for your SPIRITUAL life. Don’t sweat it though, because Fun and Play both are what, ultimately, leads to Rapture. The Cancer Full Moon on January 6 highlights the darker, EMOTIONALLY edgier, more Cardiogoth side of life in your eighth house. While endings are a key eighth house topic, focus on the transformative potential at hand. Maybe it’s time to move from Type 2 to Type 3 fun and/or join an Endurance Cult.

CAPRICORN & CAPRICORN RISING

A reversal or review occurs in your first house and sign this month, as Mercury retrogrades in Capricorn until January 18. One of Mercury’s traditional significations is movement, so PHYSICALLY speaking, even though you are a fan of unbridled PMA and the Listen To The Body, Ignore The Body approach to life, for now, maybe chill. Your Metaphysical Fitness Program and body goals are likely to be reevaluated. The mind of the Capricornian is complex, somewhat opaque yet definitely purposeful. As the ruler of your mindset house, Jupiter, is back in exciting Aries and a great deal of your MENTAL energy goes to home, family and heritage until May. Thinking about moving to Vermont so you can backcountry ski the Catamount Trail in the winter and shred “The Kingdom” in the increasingly long summers? Planning a bikepacking trip over the Caringorms to reconnect with your Scottish ancestors? Time to make a plan and dive-in with alacrity. While you find satisfaction in hard work, achievements and the material side of life, there is a deeply poetic dimension to you, surly sea goat. Cathartic and purgative Pluto will soon end its journey in your sign and a meeting with the illuminating Capricorn Sun on January 18 indicates a revelation regarding your self-concept. By shedding light on your own darker corners, your truth is in sight. Or in other words, it’s never been a better time to be a SPIRITUALLY motivated Cardiogoth. Your EMOTIONAL cache is dedicated to financial and material values by the latter part of January. A New Moon in Aquarius, your second house of earnings and possessions, means a new sensibility is developing around money. Cool, sensible, Aquarian detachment, allows you to remain objective and manifest effortlessly. Feel free to covet (or more) a new set of Asnes Nato Combats and a pair of Dynafit Low Tech pants in purple for your impending move to Vermont, or a new pair of Ultradynamics Rose Race in 650 for your Outlander trip.

AQUARIUS & AQUARIUS RISING

The stunning Sun enters your sign and first house of self-concept and the body on January 20. The Sun is a vitalizing force, so water-bearers should feel an atmospheric river-sized deluge of energy later in the month. Say goodbye to your low PMA and wax your Anses Combat Natos, or buy a pair of Norda 001 Spikes, because it’s time to surf your local white winter wave in the pursuit of both literal and metaphorical PHYSICAL transformation. Enthusiastic and optimistic Jupiter has returned to your Aries third house of MENTAL mindset, thought processes and expression. While this wonderful transit lasts until May 16, don’t sleep on this opportunity to manifest joy, success and authenticity. Low clouds and brain mist may disrupt your typically determined and structured approach to SPIRITUALITY. A Mercury retrograde in your Capricorn twelfth house of seclusion, aloneness and introspection, could either lead you on an unorthodox spiritual path or distract you from these pursuits altogether. Remain flexible, stay nimble, be open. Romantic, gracious Venus transits your sign from January 3 to January 27, sweetening your EMOTIONAL disposition. A Venus transit in your own sign gives love the marquee for the month, both love for self and love for others. The fabulous Aquarian New Moon on January 21 gives you an opportunity for New Hope and progress towards your Future Nature.

PISCES & PISCES RISING

The Mars retrograde in your Gemini fourth house of foundations has been a damper on your usually buoyant energy levels. Passionate Mars finally goes direct on January 12 and you just might get your PHYSICAL vibes back. As the ruler of your Taurus third house of mindset, Venus, spends the majority of the month in your secluded twelfth house, MENTAL quietude and introspection will take precedence. January is the ideal time to forest bathe, meditate in the Integratron, and commune Inside The Outside. The mental and SPIRITUAL realms of life are very intertwined for Pisceans this month. Your contemplative twelfth house is spotlit in the last part of January, as the illuminating Sun enters Aquarius on January 20, immediately followed by an Aquarian New Moon the very next day. A new beginning is indicated in your spiritual practice. This is a great time for Type 4 Fun and pushing those kinds of limits. A Cancer Full Moon on January 6 brings a warm, comforting glow to your fifth house of artistry, romance and celebration. Indulge your senses and commune with your crew; this is an incredible opportunity to simply enjoy yourself, party and sit with the EMOTIONAL connections that nourish you.

ARIES & ARIES RISING

You may be acclimating to your ruler Mars’, planet of strength and willpower, long retrograde in the sign of Gemini. This continues until January 12. In the meantime, vital PHYSICAL energy may be inconsistent. This final stretch of the retrograde requires an LSD mental mindset, with the agility and dynamism of a short range FKT pursuit. Prioritize vibrant Type 1 Fun over sustained Type 2 Fun. On December 8, a Gemini Full Moon, alongside retrograde Mars in Gemini, may complicate any and all things public-facing. Meanwhile, Mercury, the ruler of Gemini and the Full Moon, will be in your public reputation and career house. Allow for paradox and stay Playful while maintaining MENTAL focus. The Sagittarius Sun enlightens your ninth house of worldviews, higher education, philosophy and religion until December 21. Compromising Venus is here as well until December 10, making this a wonderful month to examine your value set and seek out classical perspectives that harmonize with you SPIRITUALLY. Jupiter, the planet of optimism, improvement and success, returns to your sign on December 20. EMOTIONALLY speaking, this is a great time to see the line, make the line and hold the line. 

TAURUS & TAURUS RISING

Venus, ruler of your sign, will be in your Sagittarius eighth house until December 10. The eighth house concerns taxing or painful experiences, so don’t take chances and Listen To The Body. Avoid pushing PHYSICAL limits in the first half of the month. Intellectual and discerning Mercury enters Capricorn, your ninth house of higher learning and philosophy, on December 6. Mercury immediately makes a tense and challenging contact with Jupiter, planet of knowledge and wisdom. Stay MENTALLY focused and don’t let this trigger an existential dilemma. On December 20, sage Jupiter’s return to your Aries twelfth house of solitude, the subconscious, and contemplation gifts you with a cosmic headlamp with which to wayfind through the SPIRITUAL darkness. Jupiter re-entering Aries renews your inner life, encouraging you to overcome any subconscious patterns that may hold you back. The Gemini Full Moon on December 8 may test your commitment to prudence, as it occurs in your second house of earned income, possessions and values, alongside a disruptive retrograde Mars. The Moon and Mars don’t get along, so material matters may get EMOTIONAL. It’s fine to Hard Covet a custom acid-dyed surf mat from Warp Mats or an MSO 2KOOK4KOMFORT Dyneema poncho, but don’t commit to buying any new unnecessary kit for the time being. 

GEMINI & GEMINI RISING

Mars continues its retrograde in your sign, and on December 8 is joined by a Gemini Full Moon. The Moon is the celestial body that rules bodily processes, so this meeting with aggravating and inflaming Mars may trigger latent PHYSICAL issues, crashing, stacking, slamming, overcooking and/or suboptimal bailing. Listen, we all know that you can send it, but for now maybe don’t. The week of the Gemini Full Moon may also find your head spinning, as your ruler Mercury enters your eighth house of trauma, triggers and transformation on December 6. Mercury rules all things MENTAL, so its journey into this difficult house may find you conjuring up dramas Inside and Outside. This is a great time to meditate on your Future Nature, forest bathe below the Alpine, take a sound bath, and generally focus deeply on maintaining, sustaining and radiating your PMA. The Moon rules our EMOTIONAL life, so its union with discordant Mars at the Gemini Full Moon on December 8 may cause things to get heated. All eyes will be on you, Gemini. So stay chill, and remember, your good jokes and dialed insights are responsible for both your challenges and your successes. Listen to Ice Cube and Check yourself before you wreck yourself. Jupiter’s journey through your Pisces tenth house of public image, success and legacy continues until December 20. In the meantime, people from all walks of life may be seeking you out for SPIRITUAL wisdom, advice and knowledge. This is a great opportunity to share the stoke.

CANCER & CANCER RISING

The week of the Gemini Full Moon, on December 8, could be PHYSICALLY challenging for lunar earthlings. The Moon is your ruler, so a confrontation with aggravating and inflammatory Mars in your self-sabotage twelfth house may pose some difficulties. Avoid exposure (e.g. Portal Trail) and consequences (e.g. Squirrel Suiting), GBGH pursuits, and Type 2 Fun in the days surrounding this Full Moon. Mercury, the planet of commerce and communication, slides into your Capricorn seventh house of relationships on December 6. Mercury immediately makes a tense contact with elevated Jupiter in your Aries tenth house of career and legacy. While the kickoff of this transit may push you in the direction of personal growth, expect your MENTAL energy to focus on biz dev and hustle into the new year. This month is all about relationships. On December 10, planet of love Venus enters Capricorn, and at the Winter Solstice on December 21, the Sun follows. Collaborations! Partnerships! Sponsorships! EMOTIONAL resonance to the East, West, North and South! The visionary and sagacious gifts of Jupiter return to your public-facing Aries tenth house on December 20. In the meantime, Jupiter spends its final few weeks in your philosophical Pisces ninth house, not to return for another twelve years. While Jupiter is here, SPIRITUAL and mind expanding explorations—Ayahuasca, Vision Quests, Walkabouts, LSD, Type 4 Fun—could lead to incredible or even life-changing insights. Rapture! Life-affirming Experiences! Transformation! Transcendence! Inside the Outside! Join an Endurance Cult.

LEO & LEO RISING

Your ruler, the Sun, continues to blaze through your Sagittarius fifth house of entertainment, play, and athletics this month.

This month starts out on a strong note for you, as your ruler Mercury is in your Sagittarius fourth house of the PHYSICAL constitution until December 6, when Mercury enters Capricorn. Once Mercury enters your fifth house of play, entertainment and pleasurable activities, everything—training, racing, competing, even long slow distance—may feel more thrilling than usual. On December 8, an intense Gemini Full Moon occurs in your tenth house of public image, career and legacy. The Full Moon comes into contact with a retrograde Mars in Gemini, a volatile combination in a very visible part of the chart. Apply MENTAL focus. Be clear. Be chill.

You may want to book some time in the Integratron and/or commit yourself to high-performance forest bathing in order to navigate the malaise. The Capricorn New Moon on December 23 forms a challenging contact with Jupiter in your Aries fourth house.

PISCES & PISCES RISING

Your PHYSICAL constitution is aided greatly by the presence of your ruler Jupiter in your sign until December 20. Jupiter is a fertile planet of generativity and growth, so you may have felt stronger and more resilient since Jupiter ventured back into Pisces on October 27. Gains, wins, and setting records are well-supported by this transit. As your ruler Jupiter leaves your first house of the self-concept, character, and physical form, your primary motivations and points of MENTAL concern shift. Jupiter moving into your Aries second house of money and material matters prompts a focus on values, finances, and material possessions. Don’t just contemplate prosperity; mind-map, journal, build a deck, contact a coach, and get to work. Jupiter in Aries brings great rewards through action; let an abundance mindset guide you. While imaginative and SPIRITUAL self-development may have come easy to you this past month, after the Winter Solstice, you may want to dive in even deeper with greater clarity, autonomy and sobriety.
