If you want to see all the visible planets AND the luminaries in the sky, head outside on December 7th at sunset and hang out for about an hour. Holy wow. Sun, Venus, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and the moon!

On March 7, Saturn enters Pisces for the first time since 1994. On March 23, Pluto enters Aquarius for the first time since 1777. On March 25, Mars enters Cancer after seven months (including its retrograde) in Gemini. March 2023 is going to be a WHOLE. OTHER. FLAVOR.

Leo placements have been so beat up the last few years. When Uranus first entered Taurus in May 2018, it kicked off an 8-year sequence of squares to Leo. And then, with Saturn entering Aquarius in March 2020, it added insult to injury with a three-year series of oppositions.

2 conditions of Venus you may have missed in your chart: 1) Is she a morning star or an evening star? If Venus is EARLIER than your sun in zodiacal order, e.g. if you have a Pisces Venus and an Aries sun, or a Scorpio Venus and a Sagittarius sun, your Venus is a morning star.

The magi in the nativity story of Jesus were absolutely astrologers. No one in antiquity would have doubted or questioned that. The magi traveled to verify the nativity of someone born under a stellar phenomenon in a certain place. That’s astrology.

If Venus is LATER than your sun in zodiacal order, e.g. you have sun in Cancer and Venus in Leo, your Venus is an evening star. Morning star Venuses tend to operate in fierce warrior modes, while evening star Venuses tend to operate in gentler, uniting modes.

The trials aren’t necessarily over, but there is relief on the horizon, and this weekend’s full moon in Leo emphasizes it. Reaching her peak at 16°41’ Leo, Luna will cast an even light across the entire sign, as if to say, “This whole place is ready to be seen again.”

I don’t know that this will be a “feel good” full moon. More like an “I’m still here” full moon. And that fucking matters. Because Leo (and all fixed placements, really) have been in a mode where resources are burning while a psychic winter boasts little replenishment.
