1 00:00:04,679 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: We are officially back. 2 00:00:06,719 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 2: Hi everyone, welcome back to another episode of Astrology with Alice. 3 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,279 Speaker 1: I'm your host, Alice bell. 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 2: I hope everyone had a nice summer or guess winter 5 00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:20,000 if you're listening from another hemisphere. It was nice to 6 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,399 have this breakaway. It flew by so fast. But then 7 00:00:24,519 --> 00:00:27,160 when I sat down to record this podcast, I realized 8 00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:30,160 how rusty I was with podcasting. So this is actually 9 00:00:30,199 --> 00:00:35,240 like the fiftieth take that I've done. But yeah, anyways, 10 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,799 my major life update from the last couple of months 11 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,200 is that I got a cat, so he might make 12 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,880 an appearance if you're watching the YouTube video of this, 13 00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:47,920 he could come into the frame because he's obsessed with 14 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,200 messing with the wires on the microphone. But anyways, for 15 00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:55,560 this new era of the podcast, the first episode I 16 00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:00,200 wanted to kick things off with is talking about eclipses, 17 00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:03,119 and this is very topical right now because we are 18 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,239 in the midst of eclipses happening. We have a Pisce's 19 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,599 lunar eclipse on September seventh, followed by a Virgo solar 20 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,760 eclipse on September twenty. First, into what eclipses even are, 21 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,280 what you can expect with them, and how they define 22 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,599 these bigger patterns or stories that unfold throughout your life. 23 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,680 Before we get into the main topic for the day, though, 24 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,319 I wanted to go over changes that I made to 25 00:01:29,359 --> 00:01:32,680 this podcast because the eclipses have actually been happening in 26 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,439 my second and eighth houses. So it has a lot 27 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,640 to do with navigating changes with my own business and 28 00:01:39,719 --> 00:01:42,840 figuring out how I want to pivot my offerings and 29 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,200 just kind of change up the way I was going 30 00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:48,920 about running my business and approaching work every day. So 31 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,719 that's also another reason why I thought it was great 32 00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:54,480 to talk about eclipses, because there are certain areas of 33 00:01:54,519 --> 00:01:56,760 your chart that are going through these bigger changes at 34 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,519 the moment. So for me, it's with this podcast and 35 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,280 also stuff I put out. Just to note, with every 36 00:02:03,319 --> 00:02:06,120 episode of this podcast, there is a YouTube video that's 37 00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:08,719 a new feature that I've introduced, so if you want 38 00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:12,199 a more visual experience with diagrams that pop up as 39 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,199 you listen, head over to YouTube. I'm also astrology with Alice. 40 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,120 There other changes to note. The day of the podcast 41 00:02:19,439 --> 00:02:22,400 that it's released is now Thursday, and I wanted to 42 00:02:22,479 --> 00:02:26,400 move it to Thursday because in astrology, Thursday is the 43 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,719 day associated with Jupiter, and Jupiter is all about spirituality 44 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,400 and things like astrology and learning and teaching, and I 45 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,639 just thought, with the new direction I want to take 46 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,680 this podcast in I wanted the Jupiterian themes to really 47 00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:43,560 stand out strongly. So new episodes will be out every 48 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,199 other Thursday. There'll be two episodes a month going more 49 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,840 in depth on these specific astrology topics, and then at 50 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,280 the start of every zodiac season, so I'll kick this 51 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,080 off with Libra season on September twenty second, I'll be 52 00:02:57,159 --> 00:03:01,960 doing monthly forecasts where I do a breakdown of the 53 00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:04,919 zodiac season that's coming and what to expect with each 54 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,960 week and the major standout transits for the month. So 55 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,000 three episodes total a month, and always if you want 56 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,240 to go deeper with learning astrology, I'm over on substack 57 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,960 and I've also introduced live interactive monthly workshops on substack, 58 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,159 which are hosted over zoom and paid subscribers get access to. 59 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: Join the workshop. 60 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 2: Last month, we did it on planning out your week 61 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,560 with astrology and how to forecast for the week ahead 62 00:03:32,599 --> 00:03:34,960 and know what to expect in that way, and then 63 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,319 you can also watch the recording on substack which I 64 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,360 send out the next day. 65 00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:39,639 Speaker 1: So those are just. 66 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 2: Some new features across my content. Thank you guys for 67 00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:46,719 your patients with me as I figured this out. Honestly, 68 00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:50,599 the whole last year has really been like I've outgrown 69 00:03:50,639 --> 00:03:52,560 certain elements of my business. How do I grow into 70 00:03:52,639 --> 00:03:54,919 this new version of what I want to work towards. 71 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,840 And actually, the next episode I put out with this 72 00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:02,879 podcast will be on how to navigate these trickier career 73 00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:05,960 transitions with astrology, So stay tuned for that coming in 74 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,199 two weeks because it's just something I've been thinking about 75 00:04:09,199 --> 00:04:10,639 a lot recently, and I know a lot of other 76 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,080 people are probably going through trickier career transitions and I 77 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,519 want to talk about that more. But yeah, let's move 78 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,040 into the main topic for today, which are the eclipses. 79 00:04:21,319 --> 00:04:23,199 So I wanted to start off by going through some 80 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,519 basic facts that you need to know about eclipses. So, 81 00:04:27,079 --> 00:04:31,199 an eclipse occurs when either a new moon or a 82 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,800 full moon happens within fifteen degrees of one of the 83 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:40,480 transity nodes, and the transity nodes spend about eighteen months 84 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,519 moving through a pair of signs. So right now, as 85 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,000 of January twenty twenty five, they moved into the North, 86 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,519 No moved into Pisces. The South, No moved into Virgo, 87 00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:53,360 and they're there until the end of July of twenty 88 00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:57,680 twenty six when they shift into Leo and Aquarius. So 89 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,519 for that period of time, you can get an idea, Okay, 90 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,160 the solar and lunar eclipses during that two year period 91 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,639 or so are going to be happening across the signs 92 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,439 of Virgo and Pisces. And you could think of a 93 00:05:11,439 --> 00:05:15,160 solar eclipse like a supercharged new moon, while a lunar 94 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,199 eclipse is like a supercharged full moon. So whereas like 95 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,639 the new and full moons really define themes you're experiencing 96 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,560 for one specific month, because the eclipses have that longer cycle, 97 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,680 over a year and a half to almost two year 98 00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:33,800 long period, these are changes that define that bigger time 99 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,279 frame rather than just one month. The stuff that's implemented 100 00:05:37,519 --> 00:05:40,879 right now this month with these eclipses is unfolding over 101 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,199 that longer period of time, and you may have already 102 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,399 noticed the changes that we'll get into that are represented 103 00:05:46,399 --> 00:05:49,399 by these eclipses starting to take hold in the weeks 104 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,759 or even the couple of months leading up to September 105 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,360 and just looking at a transit chart and noting where 106 00:05:55,399 --> 00:05:57,879 you can spot the nodes and the eclipses. It's always 107 00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:00,720 important to remember that the nodes move back chords through 108 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,680 the signs. So we just came out of the nodes, 109 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,759 and therefore the eclipses taking place throughout areas and Libra 110 00:06:07,879 --> 00:06:11,240 are happening across areas in Libra. Now the north nodes 111 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,839 move backwards to Pisces, it'll move backwards again next year 112 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,360 to Aquarius and so on. So the nodes moved backwards 113 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,399 in the direction against all the other transits. So that's 114 00:06:22,439 --> 00:06:24,360 just important to keep in the back of your mind 115 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,240 of why it's like, Okay, why are they not in 116 00:06:27,399 --> 00:06:30,959 order of the zodiac. So I just mentioned that the 117 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,639 North node moved into Pisces, in the south node moved 118 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,639 into Virgo back in January twenty twenty five. But we 119 00:06:36,759 --> 00:06:39,480 actually got the first lunar eclipse and Pisces back in 120 00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:43,000 September twenty twenty four, and then we got a subsequent 121 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,959 Virgo lunar eclipse in March twenty twenty five, and now 122 00:06:47,079 --> 00:06:50,639 this month we have both a Pisce's lunar eclipse and 123 00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:54,360 a Virgo solar eclipse and those continue up until February 124 00:06:54,399 --> 00:06:57,439 twenty twenty seven, so we're very much in the midst 125 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,839 of this current eclipse cycle. So it's like changes across 126 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,439 the areas of your chart represented by Virgo and Pisces 127 00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:09,720 and planets you have there, those have already started to 128 00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:12,680 be brought up somewhat over the last year, and now 129 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,199 you're continuing to build upon whatever realizations have already surfaced 130 00:07:17,279 --> 00:07:22,079 or whatever's already been initiated. So moving up until the 131 00:07:22,519 --> 00:07:24,879 start of twenty twenty seven, you can always know that 132 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,120 when it's Pisces or Virgo season, we're getting eclipses at 133 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,720 that time. So March and September really key time frames 134 00:07:32,759 --> 00:07:36,000 to note throughout the year of when you can expect 135 00:07:36,079 --> 00:07:40,439 bigger shifts, bigger changes, more important realizations to come up 136 00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:44,800 for you. So I've kept reiterating how eclipses symbolized change 137 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,399 and where the biggest shifts are taking place for you 138 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,120 over about a year and a half to two year 139 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,000 long period. And right now those changes are affecting the 140 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,639 houseworld by Pisces in your chart and the house world 141 00:07:56,639 --> 00:07:59,240 by Virgo in your chart, and also if you have 142 00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:02,199 any planets or angles in those signs, like let's say 143 00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:06,519 you have Venus and Pisces, or Saturn and Virgo, anything 144 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,839 like that, or angles, so your mid heaven might be 145 00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:13,920 in Virgo or your ascendants and Pisces. You can know 146 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,399 that those chart placements, the themes of those are also 147 00:08:17,439 --> 00:08:19,560 getting brought up in a more prominent way, and you're 148 00:08:19,639 --> 00:08:23,920 learning how to incorporate that chart placement into your life better, 149 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,160 or the themes associated with that planet or angle are 150 00:08:27,199 --> 00:08:32,120 just more relevant and they're going through changes themselves. We'll 151 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,279 get into more about what an eclipse in a certain 152 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,919 house or across a certain planet looks like, but for now, 153 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,519 I want to zoom out and just look at the 154 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:45,440 qualities of Pisces in Virgo and how these signs of 155 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,240 the zodiac in particular are being highlighted for everyone, no 156 00:08:50,279 --> 00:08:53,639 matter what your chart is over the next two years 157 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,519 or so. Still so, when I think of Pisces in Virgo, 158 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,360 these are both signs that are geared towards service, and 159 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,360 Pisc's in particular is about having greater compassion or empathy 160 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,159 for people, whereas Virgo is doing like these practical acts 161 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,159 of service for others. But I would say with the 162 00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:16,440 South note in Virgo. This time period that we're in 163 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,679 in general is a lot about maybe overcoming limiting mindset 164 00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:23,919 you have when it comes to productivity and routine or 165 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,039 how hard you're working and not being so hard on yourself, 166 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,039 or have this need to always be working and always 167 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:36,200 being productive and leaning more into maybe your emotional side, 168 00:09:36,519 --> 00:09:41,879 or developing your intuition and learning how to trust yourself 169 00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:44,799 in that way a lot more. And I feel like 170 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,320 from talking to friends and just hearing from people in 171 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,519 my DMS and things like that, I'm seeing the Pisces 172 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,639 Virgo themes show up quite literally, and that people want 173 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,039 to have greater meaning in what they're doing work wise, 174 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,159 and feeling like they have this overall purpose that they 175 00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:03,919 feel more connected to, or that maybe they're the work 176 00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:05,960 that they're doing is helping. 177 00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: People in some way. 178 00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 2: So those could also be themes that you're working to 179 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,600 balance out to, or it could be that physical health 180 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,039 and mental health, those two areas are just popping up 181 00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:20,879 a lot more and wanting to make improvements to your 182 00:10:20,919 --> 00:10:23,320 daily routine and your schedules so that you don't feel 183 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,279 so stressed out mentally or vice versa, like working on 184 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,840 your inner self so that you can show up more 185 00:10:28,879 --> 00:10:30,679 effectively in your everyday life. 186 00:10:30,759 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: It's all about how. 187 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 2: The external and how it's visible is being balanced out 188 00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:42,000 with what's going on inside or what's more connected to 189 00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:46,600 emotion or intuition. So we can look at these themes 190 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,080 in general, but then to take it a step further, 191 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,279 we can apply these general themes of pieces and Virgo 192 00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:55,559 to the houses in your chart that are ruled by 193 00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,200 pieceson Virgo, and the houses really show the area, the 194 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,159 two areas of your life that are going through these 195 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,360 bigger shifts and where major beginnings might be unfolding, but 196 00:11:07,399 --> 00:11:09,720 where you may also be walking away from something that 197 00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:12,600 doesn't work anymore, like an ending may need to happen 198 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,559 before that new beginning can take place. And the eclipses 199 00:11:16,639 --> 00:11:19,720 activate these pair of houses that fall opposite to each other, 200 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:24,320 and the opposite houses the themes of those houses naturally 201 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,679 complement each other and they help to balance each other out. 202 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,279 So let's say Pieces and Virgo rule your Let's say 203 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,519 you're a Pisces rising, so PiZZ rules your first house 204 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,840 and Virgo rules your seventh house. This two year period 205 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,559 would be a lot about figuring out how to balance 206 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,279 your own goals, you're developing your sense of identity and 207 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,440 how that's working in relation to partnerships like romantic relationships, 208 00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:52,039 business partnerships, close friendships in your life, like how can 209 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,879 you still maintain your sense of self while working on 210 00:11:56,399 --> 00:11:59,279 being a better partner, learning how to communicate more effectively 211 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:04,480 in your relationships and navigating changes happening there too. Whereas 212 00:12:05,279 --> 00:12:07,720 maybe with an eclipse cycle where Pisces is your ninth 213 00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:12,240 house and Virgo is your third house, it would be 214 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,840 more about having this balance between expanding your horizons and 215 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,720 in taking new knowledge, but then also figuring out with 216 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,559 the third house themes, how to apply that knowledge in 217 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,960 a practical way and share information and work on your 218 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,879 speaking skills and communicating with people in an everyday like setting, 219 00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:35,000 or like how I mentioned the eclipses are across my 220 00:12:35,519 --> 00:12:37,840 second and eighth houses. Those are the houses in my 221 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,480 chart that are ruled by Pisces and Virgo. It's a 222 00:12:40,519 --> 00:12:46,240 lot about what I value and how maybe bigger purchases 223 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,360 that I have to make or putting money towards savings 224 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:55,000 then affects how I navigate work and business and everyday 225 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,879 expenses or vice versa. How is the new work that 226 00:12:58,919 --> 00:13:05,600 I'm doing increasing income or establishing new forms of passive income. 227 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,600 So those are very like financial parts of the chart. 228 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,120 So it's always like take into consideration what the themes 229 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,080 are represented by the houses the eclipses are activating, and 230 00:13:17,159 --> 00:13:20,600 how are those themes? How might they feel almost kind 231 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,000 of frustrating at first, Like maybe throughout the end of 232 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,320 twenty twenty four into twenty twenty five, the start of 233 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,440 this year, it was kind of abrupt, like, oh my god, 234 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,720 I need to make adjustments to this area of my life. 235 00:13:31,759 --> 00:13:35,000 Things don't flow as easily as they once did here. 236 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,960 How can I make changes to move forward differently? And now, 237 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,639 like I said that we're in the middle of this 238 00:13:40,759 --> 00:13:43,799 eclipse cycle, you're starting to find your footing a bit more. 239 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,320 And then by the time this eclipse cycle finally wraps 240 00:13:47,399 --> 00:13:50,240 up in twenty twenty seven, you may have a way 241 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,799 better idea of how to navigate these two areas. 242 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: Of your life. 243 00:13:54,039 --> 00:13:56,399 Speaker 2: So if it still feels kind of tricky or you're 244 00:13:56,399 --> 00:14:01,240 finding your way still here, have faith that things will 245 00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:03,840 continue to unfold over the next year a year and 246 00:14:03,879 --> 00:14:06,559 a half. Still, it's like you're waking up to your 247 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,600 potential in these two areas of your life. And then 248 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,240 I touched upon this a little bit earlier, but I 249 00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:18,000 want to spend more time explaining how eclipses might play 250 00:14:18,039 --> 00:14:20,279 out when they affect natal planets in your chart. So, 251 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,000 especially right now, if you have planets in your birth 252 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,960 chart that are in Pisces or Virgo, having eclipses hit 253 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,840 those planets, you'll really want to pay attention. I guess 254 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:34,720 first too, does a certain eclipse hit that planet by 255 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,200 an exact degree, and out of all of the Pisces 256 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,039 and Virgo eclipses we experienced between twenty twenty four and 257 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,440 twenty twenty seven, the eclipse that falls like within a 258 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,039 degree or two of a natal chart placement, that might 259 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,120 be the most impactful one for you in terms of 260 00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:54,799 feeling the themes of that planet or that angle come 261 00:14:54,879 --> 00:14:58,279 up super strongly. But in general, when eclipses happened in 262 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,279 the same sign as natal char placements, you'll also feel 263 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,679 that theme of change or waking up to the potential 264 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,559 of that chart placement a lot more during that eclipse cycle. So, 265 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,720 for instance, let's say you have Venus in Virgo and 266 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,639 these Virgo eclipses that are coming up not only this month, 267 00:15:17,679 --> 00:15:20,919 but throughout this whole two two and a half year period, 268 00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:24,919 those are maybe having you awaken to the potential that 269 00:15:25,039 --> 00:15:27,200 Venus holds in your chart, Like this could be a 270 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,840 time of experiencing relationship changes platonic or romantic, or it 271 00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:34,159 may be that the way you think about spending your 272 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:39,879 money or how you're expressing your personal creativity, all of 273 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,720 that's going through this bigger transformation. Or then with a 274 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,080 planet like the moon, maybe all that change is being 275 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,720 brought into your home or your family life, or gaining 276 00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:52,799 a better understanding of your own emotions, or if your 277 00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:56,480 Sun is hit by eclipses, that would be really important 278 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:01,639 in terms of really developing there of your Sun's sign 279 00:16:01,879 --> 00:16:05,039 and uncovering this new side of your identity where you 280 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,000 may have these all of these new goals and these 281 00:16:07,039 --> 00:16:09,200 new interests that you want to work towards, or you're 282 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,080 undergoing these bigger, like more significant life shifts. And then 283 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,000 we can blend what we just talked about together. So 284 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,960 the themes of a planet affected with the themes of 285 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,360 a house in which it falls. So to give a 286 00:16:24,399 --> 00:16:27,519 personal example, my moon is in Pisces and it's in 287 00:16:27,559 --> 00:16:30,200 the eighth house. So not only do I have Eighth 288 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,759 House themes coming up whenever there's eclipses in Pisces throughout 289 00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:35,679 this two year period. But I also have Moon like 290 00:16:35,799 --> 00:16:39,679 themes surfacing too. So how this has played out for 291 00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:43,799 me already is that I did move homes, which is 292 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,480 that change with Moon theme of home living situation, but 293 00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:52,960 also the moving of homes has meant that me and 294 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,360 my husband have had to figure out how to split 295 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,120 bills more effectively and like who pays for what, and 296 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,279 navigating this shared living situation together, which is very Eighth 297 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,359 House like shared money, shared resources, and how that's being 298 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,000 brought together with the themes of the Moon. But then 299 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,480 to give another example, let's say you have a Virgo 300 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,240 sun in the fifth house, then maybe it would be 301 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:19,079 about finding finding greater aspects of your identity through Fifth 302 00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:25,200 House topics like creativity or having children or I don't know, 303 00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:28,880 just leaning into activities outside of career that make you 304 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,480 happy and finding yourself more in that way. And then 305 00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:37,240 also eclipses to angles in your chart a huge deal, 306 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,440 Like if you have your mid heaven in Pisces or Virgo, 307 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:46,359 then you're noticing bigger career shifts unfold during these Pisces 308 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,400 Virgo eclipses, and maybe you want to go in a 309 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,920 completely different direction with work or set different long term 310 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:58,480 goals for yourself that maybe you hadn't anticipated before. Or 311 00:17:58,519 --> 00:18:01,799 if your descendant is in those two signs, maybe you're 312 00:18:01,839 --> 00:18:05,799 noticing the biggest changes coming through with relationships how you 313 00:18:05,839 --> 00:18:08,400 relate to other people, but then also the dynamics in 314 00:18:08,519 --> 00:18:12,759 existing relationships changing. I know this is a lot of 315 00:18:12,839 --> 00:18:17,240 different moving parts to take into consideration at once. I 316 00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:19,680 just want to go one step further, if you'll bear 317 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:25,319 with me. When eclipses hit a natal planet in your chart, 318 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,559 you will also want to look at what other houses 319 00:18:28,599 --> 00:18:31,599 in your chart does that planet rule, because not only 320 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,680 will the themes of that planet in the natal house 321 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,880 in which it's placed become relevant when eclipses activate it, 322 00:18:40,279 --> 00:18:43,400 but also the other houses in your chart that that 323 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,279 planet rules. It may feel like eclipses are happening in 324 00:18:46,319 --> 00:18:49,440 those houses too, because there's change being introduced in those 325 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,519 two other areas of your life. So to give an example, 326 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:58,359 I have Mercury an Aquarius in my seventh house, and 327 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,359 at the time that I started in my astrology business, 328 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,279 I was confused, like looking back, because I was like, oh, 329 00:19:06,279 --> 00:19:09,240 that's weird. I didn't have any major second house transits. 330 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,720 And usually when someone starts their own business, there is 331 00:19:12,279 --> 00:19:16,279 there's like Saturn, there's Jupiter, or there's eclipses moving through 332 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,759 the second house or activating it in some way, and 333 00:19:19,799 --> 00:19:21,519 I didn't have any of that going on at the 334 00:19:21,519 --> 00:19:24,720 time I started this business. But in hindsight, I looked 335 00:19:24,759 --> 00:19:29,759 back and Mercury, the planet Mercury rules my Virgo second house, 336 00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:33,240 and that was getting hit with eclipses at the time 337 00:19:33,279 --> 00:19:36,640 I started this business. So even though no actual transits 338 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,599 were happening to the second house, because Mercury was affected 339 00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:44,599 by solar and lunar eclipses that year, it brought the 340 00:19:44,599 --> 00:19:48,480 theme of change and transformation and new beginnings to second 341 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,559 house topics just because the ruling planet was affected. So 342 00:19:52,839 --> 00:19:56,119 this is a way to note how other house topics 343 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,839 are jumping out, even if you don't immediately see that 344 00:20:00,279 --> 00:20:02,960 the nodes are transiting through that area and eclipses are 345 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,279 happening there. It's like for anyone who has Jupiter and Virgo, 346 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,480 you would also want to note, okay, what houses are 347 00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:11,559 ruled by Pisces and Sagittarius in my chart because it 348 00:20:11,599 --> 00:20:14,599 may feel like those two houses are going through these 349 00:20:14,599 --> 00:20:18,480 bigger shifts too. Or if you have Mars and Virgo 350 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,680 or Pisces, what houses are ruled by areas and Scorpio two? 351 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,240 How are you noticing you wanting to take a different 352 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,240 approach or make changes in those two houses and areas 353 00:20:29,279 --> 00:20:32,319 of your life as well? So yeah, to recap when 354 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,200 interpreting eclipses to your own chart, first always look at, okay, 355 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,400 what houses are the eclipses falling in? So houses ruled 356 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,279 by Pisces Virgo, do you have any planets or angles 357 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,799 in those signs in those houses that you would also 358 00:20:46,839 --> 00:20:50,960 need to incorporate those themes intwo And then as a 359 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,000 final step, if you do have planets in those houses 360 00:20:55,039 --> 00:20:58,720 and signs, what other houses of the chart do those 361 00:20:58,759 --> 00:21:01,960 planets rule and how were you see eclipse themes show 362 00:21:02,039 --> 00:21:04,680 up in those other houses as well? Now that we've 363 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,920 covered chart interpretation, I wanted differentiate between what you can 364 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,559 expect with a solar eclipse versus what you can expect 365 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,039 with a lunar eclipse, because we have both coming up, 366 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,000 and we'll get the lunar eclipse first in Pisce September seventh, 367 00:21:18,039 --> 00:21:20,480 Like I said, and then a solar eclipse follows on 368 00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:24,240 September twenty first. The way I think about a solar 369 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,279 eclipse is that it's planting the seeds for something that 370 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,400 will grow over time, like maybe what's happening at the 371 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,559 time of a solar eclipse, so this would be September 372 00:21:34,599 --> 00:21:38,480 twenty first, and in this few weeks surrounding that timeframe, 373 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,319 whatever you're starting now or new direction you're pivoting in. 374 00:21:43,079 --> 00:21:46,279 The results you haven't really seen them yet, and they'll 375 00:21:46,279 --> 00:21:49,359 continue to grow and they'll continue to play out over 376 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,160 the next several months or even the next year. And also, 377 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,119 a solar eclipse can be a very definitive ending as 378 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,640 you move away from one thing in one situation or 379 00:22:01,759 --> 00:22:04,880 relationship or whatever it might be, as you embark on 380 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,680 this next new chapter in your life, represented by all 381 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,359 that stuff we just talked about, like the house, or 382 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,000 by Virgo planets there, all of that. Whereas with a 383 00:22:14,079 --> 00:22:17,960 lunar eclipse, I think of that as a time of 384 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,920 heightened activity where whatever you've been doing the last several weeks, 385 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,279 the last couple of months, even that's all reaching this 386 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,279 turning point and it's being made a lot more visible 387 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,000 and there may be a lot of emotions coming up 388 00:22:31,079 --> 00:22:33,599 or a lot of activity surfacing at the time of 389 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,640 a lunar eclipse that maybe you just don't. 390 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: Get with a solar eclipse. 391 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:42,839 Speaker 2: So lunar eclipse culmination of activity, things made visible, while 392 00:22:42,839 --> 00:22:46,519 with a solar eclipse it's the new steps in the 393 00:22:46,559 --> 00:22:50,400 new groundwork is being laid, but you're nothing's visible quite yet. 394 00:22:50,559 --> 00:22:53,599 You've got to be patient with a solar eclipse, and 395 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,720 then also with these upcoming eclipses and Pisces Virgo. I 396 00:22:56,759 --> 00:22:59,240 want to add another layer of interpretation to this by 397 00:22:59,319 --> 00:23:03,799 locating where the ruling planet of these eclipses is at 398 00:23:03,799 --> 00:23:07,000 the time that the eclipse is happening. So this is 399 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,119 you could do this for every new moon and full 400 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,960 moon or eclipse that happens throughout the year. By locating 401 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,400 where the ruling planet of that lunation is, that gives 402 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,599 you further insight into maybe the overall vibe at that 403 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,000 time and if this is an easier lunation, if it's 404 00:23:23,079 --> 00:23:26,160 a or if it's a bit more challenging or slowed down. 405 00:23:27,279 --> 00:23:29,599 Speaker 1: Wherever the ruling planet is located, and. 406 00:23:29,559 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 2: How if it's in a sign it rules, or if 407 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,240 it's exalted in that sign, then maybe that's an easier lunation, 408 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,400 whereas if it's in the sign of its fall or 409 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:43,680 determinent or making aspects to like Saturn or Mars or 410 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:49,039 other challenging planets, maybe that lunation just feels not the easiest. 411 00:23:49,599 --> 00:23:53,200 So for this upcoming Pisces lunar eclipse, we'll want to 412 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,160 look at Jupiter because Jupiter is the ruling planet, the 413 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,920 traditional ruling planet of Pisces. And where is Jupiter falling 414 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,680 at the time that this Pisce's lunar eclipse is taking place. 415 00:24:04,759 --> 00:24:08,200 Jupiter's currently in cancer. That's a sign it's exalted in 416 00:24:08,319 --> 00:24:12,880 it can function to its full capacity, which is great 417 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,359 news for the eclipse that's coming up. But also knowing 418 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,039 that Jupiter's in cancer, you can know that the themes 419 00:24:21,079 --> 00:24:23,680 associated with the cancer Wruld house of your chart, where 420 00:24:23,759 --> 00:24:27,559 Jupiter currently is moving through the themes of that house 421 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,079 may be coming up more strongly right around September seventh too, 422 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,359 So you could blend the Pisce's world house with the 423 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,119 cancer world house to get a bigger picture of what 424 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,799 to expect. And it's also interesting to look at the 425 00:24:39,799 --> 00:24:43,920 trajectory of Jupiter throughout all of the Pisces eclipses that 426 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,279 are occurring during this two year period. So with the 427 00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:51,680 first Pisce's lunar eclipse last September, Jupiter was in Gemini. 428 00:24:52,519 --> 00:24:55,400 Now it's in Cancer for this one, and the final 429 00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:00,079 Pisce's lunar eclipse that happens this time next year in 430 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,960 the early fall of twenty twenty six, Jupiter will be 431 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:08,079 in Leo. So even though it's three eclipses across Pisces, 432 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,240 same house, same same sign, same house of your chart, 433 00:25:11,599 --> 00:25:15,160 the ruling planet is in different positions for all three 434 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,400 of those, so you may get a different vibe with 435 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,480 each of these Pisces eclipses and not the same exact 436 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,839 thing is happening. And honestly, I expected this Pisce's lunar 437 00:25:26,839 --> 00:25:29,359 eclipse to be felt in an easier way than last 438 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,759 year's because last year's Jupiter was in Gemini, a sign 439 00:25:32,839 --> 00:25:35,720 it really doesn't function well in, and now it's in Cancer, 440 00:25:35,839 --> 00:25:39,000 the sign of its exaltation. So the growth and the 441 00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:42,759 opportunities brought up by Jupiter can be felt a lot 442 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,039 more than they were at the time of the September 443 00:25:46,079 --> 00:25:49,160 twenty twenty four Pisces eclipse, so yeah, Jupiter is a 444 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,400 key player to watch this month. And then also for 445 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:57,000 the Virgo solar eclipse, the ruling planet's Mercury. Mercury will 446 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,319 be in Libra, kind of a neutral sign for it 447 00:25:59,319 --> 00:26:03,160 to be in on September twenty first, But then if 448 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,799 we fast forward to the next eclipse in Virgo, which 449 00:26:06,839 --> 00:26:11,119 is next March, Mercury the rolling planet will be in 450 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:16,240 Pisce's retrograde. So out of those two, like this Virgo 451 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,880 eclipse probably going to be more productive and I don't know, 452 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,799 felt in an easier way than the next Virgo eclipse, 453 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,960 but still important to keep in mind themes coming from 454 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,519 the Libra ruled house at the time of the Virgo eclipse, 455 00:26:30,519 --> 00:26:32,640 so House Rold by Virgo, but also House World by 456 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,799 Libra because Mercury is currently in Libra. Those are the 457 00:26:36,799 --> 00:26:39,839 two houses you'll want to watch with the solar eclipse. 458 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,160 And finally, I want to wrap up with something I 459 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,319 find just so cool about astrology in general, is the 460 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:50,240 ability to track patterns that happened throughout your entire lifetime. 461 00:26:50,759 --> 00:26:53,960 So I've brought this up so far, but like with 462 00:26:54,079 --> 00:26:58,039 this current eclipse cycle across Pisce's Virgo. Whatever's happening now 463 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,720 is kind of building up on whatever may have come 464 00:27:01,759 --> 00:27:04,559 to you last September or this March when the first 465 00:27:04,599 --> 00:27:07,599 eclipses and these two signs happened. And then finally, I 466 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,400 want to wrap up by talking about one of my 467 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,359 favorite aspects about astrology, which is how you're able to 468 00:27:13,799 --> 00:27:16,920 track patterns that keep popping up throughout the entire course 469 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,400 of your lifetime. So with the eclipses specifically, we can 470 00:27:21,519 --> 00:27:25,400 note how similar patterns are coming up now that were 471 00:27:26,039 --> 00:27:28,960 last fall in September twenty twenty four with the first 472 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,799 pieces eclipse, so we can do it on a more 473 00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:34,319 minor level like that, and how patterns keep repeating every 474 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,880 six months while the eclipses are still in these two signs. 475 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,079 But then also we can zoom out and look at, Okay, 476 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,200 the last time the eclipses were in Pisces and Virgo 477 00:27:45,599 --> 00:27:48,680 was twenty fifteen to twenty seventeen. How are we building 478 00:27:48,759 --> 00:27:51,920 upon what we learned back then? Or is how is 479 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,640 something similar coming up? But now that we're older and 480 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,119 have a different perspective, how are those things playing out 481 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,240 a bit differently? We could go back even as far 482 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,119 as two thousand and six, two thousand and eight. You 483 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,799 can go back in nine year increments with the eclipses 484 00:28:06,519 --> 00:28:10,960 and see how those themes keep popping up over time, 485 00:28:11,079 --> 00:28:13,960 like over and over again, you keep getting the lessons 486 00:28:14,039 --> 00:28:17,640 of those particular parts of your chart. But what I 487 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,240 love is like how with each turn it's like, Okay, 488 00:28:20,319 --> 00:28:23,279 I have learned a lot more since that last transit 489 00:28:23,319 --> 00:28:25,799 took place, so now I'm going to approach these changes 490 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,599 or this transit in a completely different way, with a 491 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,279 different approach to my life. I just love how astrology 492 00:28:33,279 --> 00:28:38,039 allows you to see life development in that way. So yeah, 493 00:28:38,079 --> 00:28:40,680 that's all I have on eclipses today. I hope this 494 00:28:40,839 --> 00:28:42,880 helped and gave you a better understanding of what to 495 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,559 expect coming into September and what themes you want to 496 00:28:47,599 --> 00:28:50,920 stay focused on. And if you want an in depth 497 00:28:51,519 --> 00:28:55,799 written reading about what the eclipses mean for your rising sign, 498 00:28:56,039 --> 00:28:59,000 that's what I do over on substack with my monthly forecasts. 499 00:28:59,079 --> 00:29:01,759 And i'd also don't talk about all the other big 500 00:29:01,799 --> 00:29:03,400 transits happening each month. 501 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,759 Speaker 1: But yeah, thank you again for listening, and I'll see 502 00:29:06,799 --> 00:29:09,559 you back here next time.
