Aries Toxic Masculinity & Uranus In Gemini Madness

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 07:00:00 +0100

In this week’s episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast in true Aries New Moon style, I was started to find out about the proliferation of websites catering for men to share their sexual deviances, which s obviously the shadow side of Aries masculine traits, as well as:

Aries represents birth and early childhood, with early indications that Saturn and Neptune here will work on enhancing a child’s immune system by using Saturn's double blind, placebo controlled trials for structure and safety
How these planets in Aries can bring about a revolution in male sexuality, and its shadow side of toxic masculinity, that Uranus moving into Gemini can only enhance, and add more chaos to
Highlighting the idea that even in APDM, we can go slower when the Sun enters Taurus
Why Venus as the Goddess of Love, joining Uranus at the anaretic degree of Taurus is a soothing affect for what is to come
A reminder that Uranus ingress Gemini can only further increase the shrinking of our brains and speed up the cognitive decline of our age

Aries Full Power War Machine

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 07:00:00 +0100

In this week’s episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast I look at the pile up of planets in Aries and:

Does so many planets in Aries mean that we are more likely to increase conflicts around the world
I look at how the millennials have planets in Capricorn, and they have been dissolving the work structures of our era, so likewise the planets in Aries can disrupt the war effort and change our belief in it as a resolution technique
Why the New Moon in Aries could be the healing of our triggers, and wy we must use this Aries energy to get stuff done
Why the Aries New Moon could empower Israel or israeli allies due to the trine it makes with Israel’s Mars in Leo
Everyone alive now has Eris in Aries where she is asking the right questions for humanity to evolve and women to be empowered

Christ Ego Death Forces At Easter

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 07:00:00 +0100

In this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast I talk about the deeper processes going on during Easter and the rituals we can use to enhance their evolutionary processes that help embody the Christ Codes, such as:

Jesus commanded his disciples to ‘love one and other’ at the Last Supper on Maundy Thursday, and we can recommit to the full expression of this
How we can ask to connect to the original archetype on Good Friday, of Osiris who created the etheric blueprint of the body spread around inner Earth, so that the we can connect to the evolutionary healing of the Mother Earth and the spread of the Christ Codes after Golgotha
On Easter Saturday we can align with the temple and star alignments that Apollo created initially, so that the Christ Codes could be brought to mankind at the surface in a sacred setting
There is an enhanced ego death available to us, to use to cleanse the previous year, that follows the events of Easter Sunday when Jesus was resurrected, knowing that we too can come back renewed and with more spiritual wisdom
Jesus first met with Mary Magdalene on Easter Monday so on this day, we can re-engage with the elemental kingdom and our etheric body to become re-energised, refreshed, like we had a complete transplant of new etheric energies
I also talk about the healing that an attitude of non-hoarding, Aparigraha, can have and useful to focus on during the Libra Full Moon
And not forgetting Mars ingress Aries, his home sign to perhaps enhance our confusion about war and also experience the ego death as Mars meets Neptune
I also consider the Venus conjunct Ceres and how that might focus on the lack of fuel and increased prices of oil around the world

Venus Rules April & More

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 07:00:00 +0100

In this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast we talk about Venus moving into her rulership but also being the ruler of the Libra Full Moon, as well as:

How Venus moves into Taurus and stays active all month, with rulership of the Full Moon and conjunctions to her legendary father, Uranus
Is the Libra Full Moon the perfect time to meditate to enhance our own frequency, but to create better outcome sin war zones
Are the last days of Uranus in Taurus, repeating the themes of his castration that could see the end of some nuclear powers and the subsequent birth of Venus as a re-birth of Persia
The meditation studies by John Hagelin in Lebanon who proved that meditation in a spot could bring about a reduction in military activity and we should take advantage of that
Will we see more of Nikola Tesla’s work and ideas on our consciousness as Uranus moves into Gemini creating chaos on the air sign frequencies
As US representative says “all the senators who went into the (UFO) briefing, came out saying WTF!!”

Elvis Is King & Aries Season Ego Soothing

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 07:00:00 +0100

In this week’s episode of the Venus 7 Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast I consider the deeper push of Mercury Retrograde in getting negotiations, agreements and computers sorted when we are told not to, as well as:

How Mercury Retrograde ends and begins APDM, All Planets Direct Motion which gives us the wind at our back to flow forward unhindered
As Mercury Retrograde in Pisces is the perfect time to look at films including Ann Lee, a film about the start of The Shaker movement; the Luke Besson Dracula - a love story, with amazing clips on social media to whet the appetite for Dracula’s love life; The Bride, a delightful Frankenstein meets Bonnie & Clyde movie for the heart, and then the Elvis film: EPiC
Why I thought Elvis must have had a Leo placement but actually his Mars in Libra is the magnetising sex appeal factor
Why its a good time to meditate at Equinox when the Sun moves into Aries to start the astrological year off
How to navigate the Sun conjunction Neptune, and then Sun conjunction Saturn; to very different energies one after the other this week

Sound Resonates Pisces Consciousness

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 07:00:00 +0100

This episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology podcast goes out on Friday 13th, one of three this year and so I looked at how this is going to enhance the astrology of this spiritually charged week:

It is more important to fix the energy before the material this week, so here are the two mantras I mention, that connect to the divine feminine and fertile flow of abundance
Om Hrim Kleem Namaha which is the feminine beauty and grace mantra from Mother Amma
Om Sri Maha Lakshmiyei Swaha which is the flowing abundance one of the great divine feminine
How sound changes our consciousness and why the ancients used mantra, drumming, toning, whilst projects like MK Ultra have used repeating sounds to control the consciousness of others
The important dates this week that open the North Node doorway, via the Mercury Retrograde and the Pisces New Moon
Why the Pisces New Moon has the potential to heal even if it isn’t sitting your Saturn
How Uranus in sextile to the Pisces New Moon might just be the bolt of lightning to open the Stargate of our consciousness

Pisces Cazimi Opens Stargate 10

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 07:00:00 +0100

In this week’s menus & Vesta Evolutionary Podcast, we are investigating the possibility of Earth’s transcendence via the Mercury Cazimi and other factors including:

How rare are the syzygy that creates eclipses which are totally unique to our solar system
What is the contrast between the solar and lunar beings which travel along the sun and moon’s pathway
Why we are all super psychic at this week’s Mercury Cazimi
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s Mercury placement at the Cazimi may bring forth some kind of sacrifice for him
Is Stargate 10, in Iran going to be open again and awaken our dormant DNA and flood Mother Earth with vital forces
Can we rely on what happens when Venus meets dissolving Neptune and then restricting Saturn
Are we ready for homesteading when Jupiter turns direct on Tuesday
Is Mars conjunction Mercury Retrograde, and then the North Node, the swish of the sword to deliver the coup de grace of enlightenment

Pisces Spiritual Explosion, Virgo Health Correction

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 10:50:00 +0100

In this week’s episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I wanted to look at what other explosions are expected since the astrology remains volatile, including:

Mars square Uranus is kicking ass to ensure ultimate freedom, but at what cost?
How the Uranus is the dispositor ruler of Mars in Aquarius, highlighting that anything could happen, and our consciousness awareness could be in for an explosion of information
How the astrology charts of both Putin and Zelensky are affected by Mars in Uranus and the recent Aquarian Solar Eclipse
Why Pluto is causing Zelensky to ‘evolve or die’ in the next two years with a slow death over four transits to his Sun and Venus @ 5’ Aquarius
What the Virgo Lunar Eclipse on the South Node can drag up data and health information from our past to be reconsidered and definitely rectified, under the Virgo analytical brain
Is Mercury Retrograde in Pisces the chance for new romance with an old situation, or the deepening your spiritual wisdom you’ve been waiting for

I Am That I AM & Homeopathic Berlin Wall

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 07:00:00 +0100

This week in the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast I wanted to talk about how important it is to state our sovereignty whilst the world is in turmoil and:

The "I Am That I Am” phrase as a meditative mantra is a declaration of spiritual divinity to claim your personal power especially when our identities are being sold to the highest bidder and will get more important as Saturn and Neptune travel through Aries
How Neptune in Aries will enable a loosening of our ego, from our physicality, from our mental, astral and etheric bodies as we move away from the densest point that occurred at Golgotha, which is a natural progression for humanity as we become more spiritually aware
Some homeopathic remedies from my work as a homeopath, that absolutely suits these times, such as Berlin Wall and Arsen Alb to help with oppressive states or for creating better boundaries and confidence
How this month’s Mercury Retrograde in Pisces will help clarify last year’s Grand Water Trine, enabling us to trust in our feelings and the creative process
Why we are going to see more deconstruction of powers such as royalty due to Pluto opposite Leo, and the North Node and Jupiter moving into Leo, the royal principle this year

Saturn Return Karma Playing Out

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 07:00:00 +0100

In this week's episode of the Venus and Vesta Evolutionary Astrology podcast I go into detail about the karmic effects of Saturn, as my very own second Saturn return ends when Saturn enters Aries:

A reminder that Saturn is the Lord of Karma and rules the manifest world which means we will feel his ingress into Aries far more than we will feel Neptune
Why I missed the three exact hits of Saturn returning to my Saturn at 28° Pisces
How Pisces is about boundaries and draining energy to others, which Saturn will emphasise in order to put right
How my teacher alerted me to the fact that two people actually had hooks into me in a very karmic way, all the way through my Saturn return
The importance of saying no to people and how to shut down karmic loops
Why employing an iron will is essential to offset any leaking of energy to other people, and how using metal tea or vitamin C to enhance the iron in your body or iron objects can help

Uranian Frequency Reminder

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 07:00:00 +0100

In this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology we look at the previous week’s Mercury square Uranus because its effects will continue:

Mercury is the lower octave of Uranus and in a square, they blew the lid off information being released, to send us into a frenzy of distraction
We know that the upgrade in ai means it has now been coded not to release information about humanity’s existence and (as Elon Musk put it), what is beyond the simulation
Why we can look for some unexpected excitement in our romantic endeavours this weekend as Venus square Uranus
What happens when personal planets in Pisces remind us who we truly are as spiritual beings, and making a conjunction with the North Node, helps humanity bring about the vision of a more empathetic and caring future
Why the Solar Eclipse is the turbo charge for making things happen, and to take us all to a future we have not imagined
Join me for a deep dive into the Saturn & Neptune conjunction on 10th February at 4pm GMT

February Starts Strong

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 07:00:00 +0100

Now that Neptune has entered Aries, in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast we can look at the follow up aspects under the auspices of the King of the sea and delusion in the first sign of the zodiac, including:

How Tesla’s words, “earth is a realm” will hit home to each of us as Neptune dissolves the power of the Aries sky rocket allowing room for quantum jumping instead
Why the Leo Full Moon on 1st February is the sovereignty stand off we need
What cosmic messaging we can expect to appear as Uranus stations direct on 5th February whilst squaring its lower octave, Mercury
The dynamic creative impulsing of Mercury entering the shadow zone of the upcoming retrograde and immediately making a conjunction with the North Node
What to expect as Saturn joins Neptune in Aries and the online event I will be holding on 10th February at 4pm, DM me either via IG or FB, or via the ‘book a deep soul reading’ button on the website www.venusandvesta.com

Leo Full Moon Is David & Goliath

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 07:00:00 +0100

In this week’s episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, we are perhaps feeling the effects of Neptune’s ingress to Aries, but perhaps not, since Neptune has a mystical, nebulous action, and maybe we won’t feel its power until next month when Saturn joins Neptune for the conjunction of the year, plus:

How we might wake up as Neptune shows us the programming of porn, drugs, alcohol, scrolling, social media, all sold to us as life affirming but are synthetic and empty pleasures
Why Mars transiting Pluto could lance the poison of the darkness that infiltrates society with the Aquarian ideal
Reminder to feel and experience everything the Leo Full Moon has to offer as it offsets the synergic qualities of societal programming that deadens the soul
Key Leo events for 2026 that ensure we put our heart first and not get sucked into a transhumanist, digital existence

Reaching Singularity & Planetary Paradigm Shift

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 09:21:00 +0100

In this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast I talk about the dynamic shift from one consciousness dynamic to something we cannot possibly imagine, just like someone in the 16th Century would be unable to conceive of a car or a rocket, including:

Why Jupiter in homely Cancer is causing countries to revolt right now in an effort to upgrade their home countries and living conditions
Why Neptune has to dissolve this current reality as we enter an unprecedented paradigm shift from basic motorised travel to inter-dimensional quantum shifts
What Elon Musk means (astrologically speaking) when he says we have reached singularity, when AI is more intelligent than humanity and cannot be stopped
As the personal planets transit Pluto in Aquarius one by one, will we see the living simulation we are in and how knowledge of our true existence will change our consciousness

Capricorn Stellium, Pluto Conjunctions, Neptune Magic

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 07:00:00 +0100

In this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I focus on the stellium in Capricorn and:

Why this stellium represents a personal Capricorn moment and what to do
Why this isn’t a cazimi in the purist way of looking at the Sun conjunctions, but it is very special
Explanation of the Venus cycle as she hides behind the Sun for 50 days before becoming the Evening Star

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 05:47:00 +0100

As this is the new year, this episode looks at the main aspects of 2026 including:

January is a time to start new year resolutions as the personal planets line up in Capricorn to ensure we focus on our mastery
The intensity of the Sun and personal planets making a conjunction with Pluto, one after the other, is a reckoning that each of us will have to contend with
Why the personal planets meeting with Pluto is the truth we need as Neptune starts a new orbit of the zodiac in January
The miraculous discovery of Neptune when in a conjunction with Saturn is a surprising element for their conjunction on Valentine’s day this year
The wonder of the Aquarius New Moon, heralding the Chinese New Year, being a solar eclipse on 17th February
What action Mercury emboldens as each of his three retrogrades are in each of the water signs in 2026
Finally, Uranus enters Gemini for keeps or at least the next seven years of tech advancements and surprises
Jupiter enters Leo to increase the drama in June

Neptune’s Orbit, Opium, Dionysus and the Green Fairy

Sat, 27 Dec 2025 07:37:00 +0100

As we come to the end of Neptune’s 160 cycle, I look at how alcohol and drugs have exercised humanity’s muscle of separation from spirit with:

Why Neptune is the factor to make us lose our sense of self, but in deeper context, to separate us from spirit so that we find our way back
Why the elites placed pubs outside the factories and mines to encourage the loss of self via drinking, in order to create a complaint workforce
Neptune was last in Pisces at the Opium wars and coming full circle to the opioid crisis in this era
How the drink Absinthe became the cocktail during Neptune in Pisces in the Victorian era and so began a period of drunkeness that is perhaps ending now
Steiner says alcohol is our lesson to draw us into separation and Dionysian cults used alcohol to flex that muscle, walking a tightrope of separation before potentially falling
Bloomberg says $480billion has been wiped off the top x50 alcohol companies in the last four years as millennials and Gen Z are just not drinking like previous generations
- How the first miracle performed by Christ was the turning of water into wine, to demonstrate a separation from family, tribe, blood, so that we become individuals and come back to spirit of our own free will and impetus

Christ Codes Embedded In the Zodiac Via The 12 Holy Nights

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 09:13:00 +0100

How far away from the true essence of Christmas have we come, and is it intentional? I look at the last 160 years of Neptune’s orbit, and our spiritual growth or demise in this time, and therefore why it is important to connect with the wisdom of the 12 Holy Nights via the zodiac. Plus:

The Victorian Christmas created the classic imagery back when Neptune was last in Pisces in 1847-1867 and Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol had just been published
Charles Darwin’s On The Origin Of Species was published mid Neptune in Pisces, increasing the science only world view and in that Neptune way, drawing humanity down a materialistic path
Why the secular Christmas and the science only world view are particular to Neptune in Pisces’ action and why it is down to each of us to find our path back
The mantras to use on Christmas Eve as Archangel Michael kicks off the 12 Holy Nights with a clearing of 2025
A zodiac sign for each day at Christmas whereby its highest frequency themes are emanating down to earth with the help of each part of the angelic realm, representing a conscious way to experience active spirituality at Christmas and connect to the Christ Codes

Putting the Christ back into Christmas and other Spiritual Enhancements via the Planets

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 07:00:00 +0100

We have an extremely rare ’Star of David’ or Grand Sextile Star aspect in the sky right now, made possible by the Moon in Virgo, which could bring a course correcting apology or forgiveness. Other very positive aspects follow this week such as:

Why we are in a spiritual war, and not just against transhumanism, in the second instalment of Neptune Direct
How Mars in Capricorn helps us get stuff done with super efficiency
The super charging of our mental activity that is Mercury leaving the shadow zone
Not just Sun square Saturn, but conjunction Juno the marriage broker and the head of a Yod aspect to force the issue, possibly within relationships
More info around the lucky Sagittarius New Moon as a forerunner to the Saturn / Neptune conjunction in Aries next year and why it is an enhancement of our spiritual endeavours
What actions we can take to help our relatives in kamaloca to help them in their post life process and avoid keeping them Earth bound
Can you celebrate the Christ in Christmas as solstice heralds the return of the Light of this world and the light in the northern hemisphere

Fruitful Sextile & Miraculous Neptune Direct

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 07:44:00 +0100

This is such a positive week for potential miracles and dreams come true, I wanted to look at these fruity, progressive and highly optimistic planetary arrangements, and the longer standing aspects that are also giving:

The deal with Uranus and Neptune sextile, repeating a phase started in the mid-1960’s, peaked in the early 1990’s, but which has the power to be super fruitful
Why Neptune stationing direct at the last degree of the entire zodiac, is dissolving so much of our programming over the last 160 years and opening us up to miraculous dreams and divine expression
Mindfulness alert for Mercury trining Saturn, continuing the 25’ Grand Water Trine to enhance our thinking powers, especially regarding ancient or hidden concepts (in the Scorpio way)
The party that is Mercury entering Sagittarius, which makes for three planets and the Sun in the sign of the centaur, and definitely forming a cosmic party to go with enthusiasm for what you want
Why Mars ingress Capricorn is the ‘do serious stuff, faster with more efficiency

The Latest on 3i Atlas & How It & The Gemini Full Moon Upgrades Our Consciousness

Fri, 28 Nov 2025 07:17:00 +0100

In the merriment of Sagittarius Season we can consider the full weight of the astrology of Scorpio season which hit me hard (as a Scorpio Moon) and other factors including:

How 3iAtlas might not be the magical imprint as our information updates, but still does impact our consciousness in many ways
The news on 3iAtlas via Professor Brian Cox who takes us back to the 1.37 magic number via the comet’s distance, at perihelion, of 1.37 thousand
Why Saturn and Mercury retrogrades going direct work with the Jupiter Retrograde at the special 25 degree point
How Neptune is the disposition of all the Pisces action and is dissolving our 160 timeline for new ideas to come forth

Is Sacred Geometry of Astrology the QR Code for our Consciousness

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 07:34:00 +0100

Sacred geometry as a QR code for our consciousness neatly sums up how I see the astrology working, and I always ask my clients to look at the chart as I read because I do believe this is key to our understanding, so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I look at:

What Robert Edward Grant says about the payload of 3iAtlas being geometry being intentionally sent to upgrade the consciousness of humanity
How Yantras work on our consciousness and have been used by the ancients for eons in worship and meditation, so literally QR codes from antiquity
Powerful signs that 3iAtlas has intention is its speed of 137,000 mph, using the magic number, the Pythagorean prime number to tell humanity it understands the separation of light and dark and all that is
The truth behind the myth that the Native American people could not see the arrival of Columbus ships as their consciousness has not fathomed their existence (when in fact it was Captain Cook in Botany Bay)
Get ready for the magic that is Mercury Retrograde conjunct Venus for deep soul wisdom and love to come forth for healing and further upgrade
And get ready also, for a cultural revolution, as the sextile between crazy Uranus and mystical Neptune that hasn’t occurred since the mid 1960’s, becomes exact
The full lo-down on Saturn’s station at 25’ and move direct, to lend support and commitment to all our lost situations or broken hearts

What Does The Mega Spider Cobweb Demonstrate This Scorpio Season

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 07:00:00 +0100

As a perfect entrée to Scorpio season, researchers have found the largest spider cobweb EVER(!!!), so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I look at what the spider brood is telling us about our unconscious behaviour, as well as:

As above, so below: how spiders weaving cobwebs, reflect our unconscious and karmic actions, and how the webs we weave can live on
What new thought forms can arise from the deep with Mercury retrograding back into Scorpio to oppose Uranus and then join the New Moon exact at 28’ Scorpio
The chart of the New Moon, with a Grand Water Trine, two kites and a mystic rectangle to help overcome difficulties to higher levels of consciousness
Will the intense aspects in Scorpio bring about better standards for intimacy, and the potential for soul level love to manifest

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 08:03:00 +0100

3i Atlas and Creating Good Potentials

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 08:34:00 +0100

I wanted to look at what people are saying about 3iAtlast, from Draco Reptilian Soldiers to hologram appearances to the CERN scientists, as well as look at astrology for November in this issue, which covers:

The convergence of maximum solar flares, low or weak Earth magnetic force and an interstellar object, 3iAtlas, to create a potential shift in our consciousness
The best introduction to star seeds and the wider spiritual universe as the Youtube video of Barbara Marciniak’s Bringers Of The Dawn
The energy lift that Mars gives us as he shifts into Sagittarius
How the Full Moon in Taurus is coming just at the right time to offer grounding and satisfaction

The Real Scorpio Death Forces In Halloween & The Taurus Full Moon Embodiment That Opposes It

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 07:48:00 +0100

Halloween is now the most celebrated festival after Christmas, overtaking Easter, so I wanted to look at what our celebration of the day of the dead really means in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, including:

Mercury and Mars in Scorpio are the personal planets in the Grand Water Trine, meaning it is important what we as individuals do during this Scorpio season that affects the collective
Mercury and Mars as the protagonists trining Jupiter in Cancer, and both Saturn Rx and Neptune Rx in Pisces; not to be underestimated for the huge tsunami of emotional wisdom
Unconsciously dressing up as ghouls and devils might seem like fun, but what are we conjuring really?
Do the two kites within the Grand Water Trine demonstrate the fight for our consciousness between ai technology (Uranus in Gemini) and the changing aspects of our thinking (Pluto in Aquarius)
How the Taurus Full Moon can keep us fixated with our physicality, so that nothing can interfere with our experience of being human

What other hidden and sinister conversations are going on via Mercury and Mars in Scorpio after Chat GPT coached a boy to commit suicide
Mercury Retrograde details as the planet of communication goes from the higher truth of Sagittarius, to the more exacting, inner truth of Scorpio

In the week’s episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Podcast, I wanted to make sure we all know what we are dealing in this so called ‘spiritual war, by looking at the real satanists uncovered by rock critic journalists on Tucker Carlson’s show. I did a little digging into the people trying to connect with the darkness as well as:

What the satanists at the top in all kinds of industries, including tech and ai are up to (using drugs and ai to manifest a spiritual being)
Why we should be aware of their existence and how brands like Balenciaga are not making crude marketing mistakes but demonstrating their ethos
How Venus in Virgo opposing Saturn Rx in Pisces will make good on many outstanding emotional issues, and even though we might have to leave something, someone behind, it is for the best
Why we should make the most of Venus when she enters Libra to oppose Neptune, because this is the doorway to love, romance and possibly better money flow
The importance of getting deeply in touch with our soul and its mission here on Earth when Pluto stations direct

Volatile Grand Air Trine & 3i Atlas, Interstellar Visitor

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 09:05:00 +0100

The excitement is coming in waves as the Grand Air Trine is repeatedly on/off, so I wanted to look at how this may play out, which drew my attention to 3i Atlas, the interstellar visitor and:

Why the Grand Air Trine can be volatile and crazy, but also creative and full of positive potentials
This October we have the Sun then Venus making up the third part of the Grand Air Trine, perhaps tempting us down pathways we ought not to go
Are you in line for the love bombing or the obsession of Venus trining Pluto as he turns direct
What to expect from the hype around 3i Atlas, a giant sized interstellar visitor that Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb says is due to be a ‘black swan’ event which will change the world

Ahrimanic Forces Recognised As A Thing

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 08:36:00 +0100

As Russia names ‘satanists’ as terrorists, we need to understand what is the context of this spiritual war, so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology podcast, I look at:

How the Grand Air Trine stays active in October and what rhetoric it is bringing to our attention
Why Russia has named Satanist and who, specifically, are they?
The fight for human energy is real and the mechanics of how it gets drained
How the influx of dark forces every 666 changes each time to meet the current state of humanity
The Kite formation pointing at the dissolving nature of our ego (Neptune in Aries) and Saturn in Pisces trying to get us to tend our spiritual selves
October brings Pluto direct and Uranus Rx ingress Taurus for the last time

The Rapture Of Spiritual Ascendancy In Astrological Terms

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 08:31:00 +0100

I keep hearing that people think there is a potential for The Rapture to occur this week, so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I look at:

What ’The Rapture’ mentioned in the bible actually means, as a ’trumpet call’ from God, and perhaps relating to the Judgement card in tarot
How the gigantic outpouring of our collective grief helped push the soul of Princess Diana up through layers of spiritual ascendancy, and perhaps this could happen for Charlie Kirk along with the two eclipses
Why people are expecting The Rapture to happen and what is the astrology around this that would cause some kind of spiritual reckoning
The powerful days following the eclipse and why this could be The Rapture and what we can do about it
Equinox aspects, Sun opposite Neptune, the Grand Air Trine, Mars square Pluto and more

Pisces Miracles, South Node Assassinations, Virgo Corrections

Fri, 12 Sep 2025 07:00:00 +0100

It is a sad and dark time when people are assassinated, and the lesson is to open the discussion and be communicative, even with those we don’t agree with. In this week’s episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I talk about Charlie Kirk and his desire to get us all discussing politics across the board and:

The natal chart of Charlie Kirk and what factors (such as his secondary progressed Sun conjuncting his natal Pluto) that could bring about such a sudden death (and Mars conjunct his Sun)
What does the Pisces surrender to all that is really mean by looking at The Rapture, as described by St Theresa of Avila who was made into a marble statue by Berlini in 1647-52
More on the Venus sextile Mars which creates a Yod aspect, and enables Venus to be super powerful at the Virgo eclipse
Why the eclipse is a yes or no, but more probably ’no’ due to the 29, anaretic degree positions of the eclipse and Mars
A little mantra for the Virgo eclipse: I call back my powers and energy from all corners, people, places and situations that have been draining, siphoning or stealing from me, consciously or subconsciously, intentionally or unintentionally, from all realms, worlds, dimensions and directions of time. I freely and unconditionally give back any energy that is not mine with love. I am safe, sovereign and protected.

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 07:20:00 +0100

New information and testing on the Shroud of Turin being debated right now
Miraculous eucharist turning into traumatised heart muscle in various locations around the world
Possible further miracles occurring in the mystical Pisces eclipse season AND the conjunction between Saturn (reality) and Neptune (spirit)

Emotional Wisdom in the Lunar Eclipse

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 17:55:00 +0100

It’s eclipse season, and an emotional tsunami heading our way, so how best to play it? In this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I home in on the eclipse and:

What are the key aspects framing the eclipse, such as Jupiter in Cancer, increasing the emotional stakes
Why the eclipse is special to planet Earth as the only planet to line up exactly with its star and satellite, with a trillion to one chance of that happening, so it is intentional
Are we going to see an emotional outpouring en masse that brings humanity together and against all oppression and genocide
How Saturn is helping us commit to our spiritual feelings and ideas, and perhaps responsible for the increase in spiritual curiosity and Christianity

Extra Virgo Powers To Kick Start Virgo Season & A Look At Asteroid Vesta

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 09:08:00 +0100

I start this episode by talking about the Yod aspect focused on the Sun as it leaves Leo and enters Virgo to create the New Moon at zero degree, increasing this lunation intensity and this caused me to think of Solar Return charts and:

How your Solar Return chart can change where you are in the world, but really your home is the deciding factor on the flavours the Solar Return imbues for the coming year
Why the Virgo New Moon is as powerful as an eclipse, and what Virgo means as not so much a virgin, but the maiden in the child, maiden, mother, crone process
Last week we looked at Lilith, so this week it is Vesta’s turn to be in the spotlight and perhaps there is a need to remind ourselves of the keeping of the sacred fire in all rituals and with the hearth, the heart of the home
I had to look at the chart of the porn star Bonnie Blue to see her South Node Aquarius is highly activated by Uranus, so that the past lives of perhaps not having any boundaries is repeating itself in this life
The benefits of Venus ingress Leo within Virgo season, like a big warm hug in the chillier astro weather

What is Lilith Doing in Scorpio, and the Precision of Virgo New Moons

Fri, 15 Aug 2025 09:25:00 +0100

I wanted to look into what the Lilith, Juno and Vesta are doing in Scorpio in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, which is probably the course of so many female issues being heard around the world…AND we have not one, but TWO Virgo New Moons to bring about a reckoning:

A look at Lilith’s history from the bible and her blueprint for women born with nearly 2milion eggs, as Lilith loses 100 babies a day, equivalent to the amount of eggs a woman will shed in her life
How Lilith will progress some of the unconscious stories of women, abuse and oppression by her position in Scorpio this month
Why you should see what emotional comforts around you as Jupiter moves into the shadow zone of his upcoming retrograde
All eyes on the Sun at the head of a Yod aspect, as Leo season ends and a Virgo New Moon at the head of a Yod, at 00’ kicks off Virgo season AND eclipse season at the same time
Did you know, there are two New Moons in Virgo this month, and the second one, at the anaretic degree of Virgo is a Solar Eclipse

Aquarius Full Moon & NOT the 888.

Fri, 08 Aug 2025 07:00:00 +0100

I have contested the validity of the Lion’s Gate 888 portal before, but in truth there is activity around Sirius, so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I look at:

How wild the Aquarian Full Moon is, being inspected, and ruled by Uranus who is in Gemini bringing us new information in an explosive way
What the three Goddesses in Scorpio, Vesta, Lilith and Juno are bringing to this Full Moon via a lose square, and how their shadowy sexual abuse themes in Scorpio can come to the fore
Why the conjunction between Venus and Jupiter is the best day of the year, and also ignites the Sirius binary star for many serendipitous blessings of Cancer caring and empathy
How the Sirians arrived with the Dogone tribe as dolphins and how we might see the cetaceans as spiritual beings helping humanity evolve
How the Aquarius Full Moon could ignite huge karma for Ghislaine Maxwell and many layers of intrigue around the Epstein and the Clintons

Two Kites Giving Purpose To The Grand Air Trine

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 07:27:00 +0100

In this episode I talk about the brilliant Mercury Cazimi in Leo that promises a major boost to our ideas about ourselves and why the planets in the first few degrees of each sign are heralding unprecedented change, plus:

Why the Scorpio Moon square to the Mercury Cazimi in Leo means we have to work on our sense of self and personal expression, and we simply cannot by pass this opportunity to do the right thing
What we have to look out for as Mars enters Libra to enhance the attraction in many things, including those that lead us astray
How the Grand Air Trine will whip up a frenzy for change which will be hard to control, so we might as well welcome the weird and the wonderful
Why the Mystic Rectangle, around all month helps us overcome challenges and achieve greatness
How to use the Aquarian Full Moon to make a break for freedom and do something completely different as only a fool repeats the same thing over and over again and expects a different outcome

An Emboldened Leo Season With Deeper Cancer and Virgo Care

Fri, 25 Jul 2025 07:37:00 +0100

I think the Leo Sun, with Mars in Virgo, is a good juxtaposition to having fun, and serving our selves, to also doing the right thing, and having the integrity and exactitude of Mars in Virgo. So in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast I look at:

The Moon meeting Mars in Virgo for extra emotional investment in the cleansing process
Virgo and the 6H relationship to pets, and how animals don’t have an ego, but they receive a type of ego warmth through the fire elementals, who are the salamanders and in this way, we don’t really need a pet’s time of birth because this defines the human ego not the animal one
How the duplicitousness of Venus in Gemini has been demonstrated in the gaslighting going on in this series of Love Island UK and hopefully there will be a softening where the contestants, and us also, becomes ore emotionally vulnerable when Venus moves into Cancer
Why the life force of Sun in Leo or Venus in Cancer can bring about hugely creative forces that we can use, instead of giant bio-techs companies using it for discordant experiments such as Dolly the Sheep, the first cloned animal
The lucky day of Venus conjunct Jupiter, conjunct Sirius - our so called - spiritual sun
How to make the most of Chiron retrograding in Aries and “bring forth what is within you, as what you bring forth wills save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you”
What a cazimi really is in its purist sense, as sitting in the chair of the King (the Sun) and why the Mercury in Leo cazimi is the most wonderful heart opening creative opportunity for all our babies, be there projects, romance, situations or babies

Virgo Digestive Detox and Leo Heart Opening

Fri, 18 Jul 2025 07:28:00 +0100

This week’s episode drops right as Mercury turns retrograde, and I am always warning not to fear the retrograde. So in this week’s episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology I major on Mars meeting the South Node in Virgo and the start of Leo Season to make the most of the potential healing, health revelations, truth drops, and to open our Leonine hearts. As well as:

The possibilities of health truths emerging as Mars joins the South Node and why detoxing when Mars is in Virgo is a great use of the cleansing energy
What health lies we have been told in the past and why we can move beyond them now as Virgo rules our digestion as well as demanding truth
Why Ghislaine Maxwell could be key to everything as Mars exposes the lies whilst putting pressure on the divine feminine in Virgo
Ceremonial cacao combines the health benefits for Virgo but also the heart warming of Leo, so at the beginning of Leo season, I relay the story of my friend working on a cacao farm and now producing the most incredible cacao where you can use my code of: VENUS5 to get £5 off on her website www.junglecacaoperu.com
Leo season starts on 22nd July which is also the feast day of Mary Magdalene and a good time to honour the divine feminine with sacred ritual and to nourish your energy field
How we are bound to ’the quickening’ of our soul at the Leo New Moon, which I don’t think we can miss, so please join me for a Moon circle on 24th July, details on instagram or via email

True Sirius Starseed Facts, Plus Saturn & Mercury Retrogrades

Fri, 11 Jul 2025 07:29:00 +0100

Since so called astrologers are already gearing up for the Spiritual Sirius Sun, Lion’s Gate 888 and now the 777 portal, I thought it necessary to give some true Sirius, spiritual FACTS, and give the Sun its proper super spiritual place. So in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I am looking at:

What Sirius actually aligns with since it is a fixed star at 15’ Cancer, so therefore not rising in the summer, but in Spring, when the Nile also rises
Explain the three dimensions of the Sun which are the physical, the astrological and the Christ Consciousness, all given different names but crucially, not measured by modern science
Whether we are a mix of star seeds, developed intentionally to make human beings, or are the star seeds now becoming aware that they have a job to do in helping Earth and mankind evolve and ascend
How the Sirians are advanced beings already living in 5D and are ready to help us, not just the Dogon tribe who they visited way before we had telescopes to see Sirius as a binary star system
How Saturn’s retrograde on 13th July may bring healing for dis-ease and for past loves, and put in boundaries for the collective as Saturn reverts back to the last five degrees of Pisces
How Mercury Retrograde in Leo on 18th July could have us re-thinking some of the content we put out and how we express ourselves on social media

The Darkness & The Innovation Of Uranus In Gemini

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 09:13:00 +0100

I really wanted to look at the darker forces within the ai and digital world since the revolutionary planet Uranus is moving into the Gemini, the sign of communication and connections. In this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Podcast I want to look at how these shadow forces operate and why they will become more prevalent including:

Uranus as a planet that is gaining traction, building its influence, which means it will increase own activity but also enhance its influence via our hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal glands
How entities, shadow forces with consciousness can live within our digital sphere as their language is binary, the same as computers and children more than anyone are very sensitive to this and vulnerable
The timeline of the Prince of Darkness using every 666 years to increase is influence upon mankind with tactics appropriate for each stage of our evolution
How to fight the trans humanist digital agenda by being so in touch with your soul’s experience and every sensation in our physical bodies and connection to nature and why this Cancer season is perfect for heightened feelings like this
Why Uranus ingress Gemini may resonate with the connection between Uranus and Pluto back in the mid-1960’s when women were given freedom via the contraceptive pill
Hope for Saturn’s retrograde just a few days after the Capricorn Full Moon, how why we should focus on whatever hardship or due diligence Saturn is highlighting, since it can come good

Big Leo Energy & Softer Neptune Retrograding

Fri, 27 Jun 2025 09:29:00 +0100

Since we have had two Yod’s pointing at Mercury in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius, I felt the need to look at the Pluto in Leo generation who will be experiencing the Pluto opposition over the next few years, which is a super challenging aspect. Donald Trump has this of course, so in this week’s episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast we look at the bravado this engenders and:

Why Pluto in Leo can mean excessive bravado and lack of self awareness, so that once you see it, you cannot unseen it
Why Pluto in Leo will be expressed in men more than women, due to Leo being the only sign that has significantly different outcomes for the sexes
A heads up regarding the love within the asteroid Mary Magdalene joining the Sun in Cancer for a couple of days
What it means for Mercury stepping into the shadow zone of the upcoming retrograde in Leo
Why Neptune going retrograde on 4th can use this Magdalena energy to take us to spiritual ecstasy and the divine feminine
How Venus continues this empowerment of feminine grace by joining Uranus at the anaretic degree of Taurus before…
The big shift of our times as crazy planet of surprises ingress Gemini to open our minds to new levels of information and consciousness

The Depth of Empathy Inherent In the Cancer new Moon Conjunct Jupiter

Fri, 20 Jun 2025 14:12:00 +0100

I don’t think we can quite quantify what a profound opportunity of shift the New Moon in Cancer conjunct Jupiter represents, so in this week’s episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I look at some of the deeper factors around childcare, mother issues and of course the huge opportunity for ending aggressive war tactics.

Will the empathy generated by this Cancer New Moon conjunct Jupiter be so great that the populace will rise and demand and end to the global antagonism?
How Jupiter’s stay in Cancer for 13 months will allow us to work on our mother issues, the pain, the trauma, the lack of nurture, but also the joy
Why modern medication programmes for babies is now being reconsidered with Jupiter in Cancer and why that is a good thing when shocking data around SIDS comes to light
New understanding about how businesses will be amplified when they take on board Cancer factors such as security, community, family, caring
Why Mother Mary and the rosary are a prayer and petition super power during Jupiter in Cancer who aligns with the unconditional love of the mother

Explosive Astrology & Cancer Calm That Follows

Sat, 14 Jun 2025 01:35:00 +0100

It will come as no surprise to astrologers that the Full Moon in Sagittarius, as part of a Grand Fire Trine, brought us so many explosions across the world, so I look at this in this week’s Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast and also:

The Grand Fire Trine in Israel PM Netanyahu’s chart which matches the Full Moon Grand Fire Trine of this week, that was clearly huge fire power
What Mars applying to a square with Uranus means, rather than the square itself
Uranus activity around uranium enrichment to break the international nuclear agreement and trigger violent attacks
A look at the launch of the live action film How To Train Your Dragon and what dragon lore means to us, whether energetic forces in the earth, or ancient wisdom that can awaken a powerful consciousness
Why solstice will be enhanced this year as Jupiter joins the cardinal sign and forms part of the New Moon (as well as being ruler of the last Full Moon)

Grand Fire Trine Moon Blazes

Fri, 06 Jun 2025 07:31:00 +0100

This week is not just Mount Etna exploding, this week is the Sagittarius Full Moon that sets off the Grand Fire Trine and several bonfires we are just not going to have time to put out. This week’s Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast discusses:

The aspects of the Sagittarius Full Moon particularly the Grand Fire Trine which is a rollercoaster of excitement and perhaps antagonism, what will it have in store for you?
After the Grand Fire Trine, will the Mars square Uranus set you free, or give you the impetus to do something wildly different. Can you walk out the door, or stay and be confrontational?
If Mars heading up one Yod for a whole week, hasn’t got you focused on what you can do, must do or say, then the second Yod with Pluto at the helm will be forcing some kind of deep and utter transformation, without compromise, this is evolve or die
Did you know that the Saturn Neptune conjunction is well known for its divine visions, paranormal activity AND UFO sightings which are well documented on Netflix (see Manhattan Alien Abduction or Project Bluebook)

June Begins A Venus Chiron Reckoning

Fri, 30 May 2025 08:23:00 +0100

June begins with Venus and Chiron making a conjunction that could bring a healing, yet Venus is in her Goddess of War mode, and they are both conjunct Eris. Will this escalate antagonist situations? Find out this and other significant changes this week with the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, looking at:

Venus and Chiron conjunct with Eris in Aries, perhaps signfying further war, especially as they trine the Moon and Mars in Leo on 1st June
Venus ingress Taurus to augment and enhance the MAHA movement perhaps?
The effects of Mercury making a conjunction with Jupiter at the anaretic degree of Gemini hopefully delving the information we need to understand the underhand workings of the world
How is Jupiter going to augment the world of Cancer, especially when the Sagittarius Full Moon, which he rules, happens within days, forcing us to address our emotional issues and family dynamics
A few of the asteroids are within a degree of our planets, so its worth mentioning the themes of Osiris, Isis Eris, Circe and Mary Magdalene

Enhanced Gemini Codes & Subconscious Spider Webs

Fri, 23 May 2025 09:50:00 +0100

We really are having an intense Gemini season and this week ramps up the complicated, tricky, connections and mind blowing new ideas. We want to win, so this week in the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast we are going to talk:

How Gemini brings us the duality construct of our current Earth era which divides the subconscious and conscious realms
And that in a future era, the subconscious realm will collapse into the conscious and this is especially connected to the animal soul-group of the spiders, who weave webs that can actually become karmic loops, which we should acknowledge and process, rather than let manifest
How we have Gemini’s ruler, Mercury transiting Uranus, Mercury entering Gemini, his rulership, the Gemini New Moon, and then the Sun conjunct Mercury over two days…all within one week
Why we think the speed of AI take over is going to be much faster when Uranus moves into Gemini on 9th July
Whether the alternative ancient history (described by Netflix, Graham Hancock, Ancient Apocalypse), is going to come to the fore and accepted as reality, with Neptune in Aries, as it dissolves the current way of thinking about who we really are
The zodiac being formed BEFORE Earth and humanity via the angelic realm and the esoteric ideas that I teach within my Star Shala Evolutionary Astrology course, which is opening up again for Module One
Possible new rulerships of Chiron for Virgo instead of Mercury, and Ceres for Taurus instead of Venus

Pluto Darkness Revealed and Saturn & Neptune's Berlin Wall Moment

Fri, 16 May 2025 08:38:00 +0100

Pluto in Aquarius is going to expose the dark underbelly of society, but what could that possibly mean? In this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology podcast I take a look at the surge in the algorithms facilitating online abuse, targeting young men with misogynistic content, which heralds Uranus entrance into Gemini, as well as:

How Uranus entering Gemini will trigger Pluto in Aquarius and the air signs will be in cyclone mode
Why the square between Mercury and Mars will augment the chaotic day that is the Sun conjunct Uranus
Where Algol, the Medusa head is active and how that can be redemptive as well as horrific
What it means for Aries themes as Saturn moves in Aries to join Neptune, to recreate their ‘Berlin Wall moment’ of 1989
Why Saturn and Neptune in Aries could be a major focus on the divine masculine as well as new developments in mental health

The Transformative Qualities of the Scorpio Full Moon

Fri, 09 May 2025 08:38:00 +0100

The Scorpio Full Moon is bringing us the potential for even more dark secrets to be revealed, so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Podcast, we look at:

How Pluto rules this subconscious activation of the Scorpio Full Moon, but is in Aquarius, which represents our consciousness
How Pluto and Uranus are in ‘mutual reception’, meaning they have greater power and are aligned in their actions to transform, using different tactics but with the same outcome
Why we might have our own revelations about past pain, wounding, shame or lack, but this has come up to be transformed in the personal as well as the collective
Why Venus leaving the shadow zone of her retrograde will give us more personal power to go for what we want
Why Mars leaving the opposition to Pluto will be a sign of relief and hopefully a decision made well after nine months angst
The possibilities of the Sun meeting Uranus in Taurus, and how that could have a major impact on the progress of activities around climate change

Tectonic Shifts with Pluto

Fri, 02 May 2025 08:52:00 +0100

We have a magical start to May with Beltane where the nature is coming forth, and with Pluto at the reins, dark stirrings are being recognised, so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I talk about:

The brand new signature of Neptune in Aries and how Venus will enhance its creative potential
Why we should not fear the shadow that Pluto casts as he stations retrograde, and how we can welcome the consciousness expanding qualities that are coming up in Aquarius
The importance of speaking our truth with Mercury ingress Taurus
How the Scorpio Full Moon is under the power of Pluto and is ready to expose dark secrets that will force deep and utter change
What action we can take with Mars squaring the Full Moon, but then leaving the opposition with Pluto, allowing us to breath more easily
A reminder of the outer planets changing signs one after the other and how these new signatures are taking us into unchartered territory for humanity

Astrological Significance of the Pope's Death

Fri, 25 Apr 2025 07:00:00 +0100

Just as Mars returns to Leo and into a sign opposition with Pluto, the Pope chooses to leave this world, so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Podcast, we look at the Mars Pluto opposition and what death codes it carries and:

The repeated transits of the Pope’s 28’ Cancer Pluto, by Mars and how that took him to his demise
Whether we can see death in a natal chart, and what the aspects provide in terms of their astral energy for the soul to leave this plane
What are the significant factors in fame or notoriety at the ascendant or at the MC the highest point in a person’s chart which will be active in moments or lifetimes of wider audience expression
Why the Taurus New Moon will show where the wealth of the world is being spent, not just by the elaborate funeral of the Pope, but also the power shifts around world as money plays a signifiant part of who plays the game

Pluto Is Back In Power

Fri, 18 Apr 2025 10:45:00 +0100

For the next week Pluto is playing an integral part in the astrological aspects, so this week in the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology podcast, we look at how Pluto is ready to take the Venusian flow to a much deeper, karmic levels which includes:

Venus stationing direct has brought us to a period of advanced flow called APDM, all planets direct motion that is incredibly supportive
Venus connects with Saturn and the North Node to really help us heal from any kind of abandonment or disassociation, bringing us back to our true self and our soul’s earth ahead
Pluto ends the APDM, which may bring levity and intensity to the Venusian flow which could be unexpected
Pluto will be helping Venus as she starts her journey in Aries, where she is in Fall, but has far more strength to speak her mind
Mars and Pluto will be in effect, but really these two are more drama and tension, that true aggression
The Sun in Taurus makes a t-square to Mars and Pluto before the New Moon, so will be the practical decider between the opposition of these two dark wielders
Now Pluto will be retrograding shortly and we slowly come to realise how he might work through society, bringing scientific innovation, but also inciting revolution

Venus Blessings All Week

Fri, 04 Apr 2025 17:32:00 +0100

There I are magical possibilities and money making opportunities with Venus Retrograde conjunctions coming up this week so in this episode of the Venus And Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast I take a look at these from 5th April to the Venus ruled Libra Full Moon on the 13th, as Venus stations direct including:

Why Venus and Saturn are supportive to our creative projects, romantic alliances and financial schemes
How the Sun in sextile to Jupiter in Gemini, can level our thinking and perhaps give us the information drop we need
The details around Mercury stationing direct in the middle of the Pisces stellium and why that could be the glitch in the matrix that enables us to see more clearly
Steiner theory that humanity is now passed density, and a natural separation of our physical, mental, astral and etheric bodies is happening, making us more sensitive but also vulnerable and why this has to happen in a spiritually aligned way
Why we should all tune into Venus stationing direct as the Moon becomes full in Libra (her rulership), which is on lucky fixed star Spica and at the head of a yod, finger of God aspect

I'm getting ready to launch my esoteric astrology course, which will take us down a few rabbit holes of the occult and the evolution or humanity and our part in it. I hope you can join me for this, beginners and intermediate alike.

Extra Incarnating Eclipse

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 08:26:00 +0100

What we should expect at this Aries Solar Eclipse is all revealed in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, including:

How Aries is the ‘lamb of God’ signifying mankind’s incarnation here in this physical realm, and therefore the Aries eclipse can give us a new identity around why we are here
How the eclipse occurs when we are experiencing two conflicting forces that also compliment each other, as one dissolves our current reality, while the other opens up a new way of thinking for humanity
Why Mercury Retrograde is so important for this eclipse even though it is a wide orb to the lunation
How Mercury Retrograde is the quick fire move that Neptune needs as they meet on the final degrees of Pisces, and how together they can help us communicate beyond the physical realm
What happened the last time Neptune moved from Pisces to Aries (the American Civil War) and why this resonates this time around
Details of the amazing days following the eclipse as Mercury and Venus meet with the North Node, before turning direct

Magical Days Unfold As One Reality Dissolves For Another To Be Born

Fri, 21 Mar 2025 07:00:00 +0100

We are literally being given the chance to see how the deep state has been running a shadow government with the release of the JFK files, so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I look at how the planets are releasing us from one reality and:

Why the Equinox brings extra balance due to the Earth being in equilibrium, and because we are ‘betwixt the eclipses’, so the Earth Sun and Moon are in line on the ecliptic, for an extra harmonious balance and a deep alignment allowing our higher self to drop down into our being
Why the Equinox chart acts like a Solar Return chart for the year, giving us a flavour of what is to come in the next 12 months, which includes the dissolving of the past, the magic of healing, making way for brand new activities to play out
The magical energies coming through at the weekend with the Venus Cazimi, followed shortly by the Mercury Cazimi, both in Aries, to draw us into expressing our truth here and creating new and wonderful experiences
More magic to unfold, bringing healing and miracles as Venus Retrograde steps back to join Neptune at the last degree of Pisces
Why Neptune’s dissolving effect means we won’t get ‘more’ information from the JFK files, but it will confirm to us that there is a deeply corrupt shadow government under the control of the deep state, and therefore a change in our consciousness
How Neptune will provide deep healing for the JFK killing and help all of us release huge grief before we get to the Aries eclipse

The Esoteric Lore In Eclipses And The Subconscious Rising

Fri, 14 Mar 2025 11:24:00 +0100

Rudolf Steiner says eclipses are like valves, releasing our karma for evolutionary process, so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I want to take a look at the esoteric process that happen with eclipses and:

How bad intentions will definitely attract the darker, malevolent aspects of the eclipse energies
Why the syzygy of the Earth, Moon and Sun is utterly exclusive and unique in the whole known universe and why an eclipse acts like a valve in this delicate balance
How Shakespeare perfectly describes the mischievous attitude of the Earth’s elementals seen as alive and conscious in the play A MidSummer Night’s Dream
A mantra to get us through heightened days of cosmic activity with the mantra 'Om Sri Maha Lakshmeyei Swaha’ which speaks to the Great Feminine to bring us in alignment with great abundance
Why it is important for us to connect with the spiritual sense of astrological processes and to avoid enahncing the Ahrimanic materialistic world view

The Healthcare Focus of Virgo Eclipse To Incite Revolution

Fri, 07 Mar 2025 09:41:00 +0100

We are in eclipse season and in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast I wanted to focus on the amazing possibilities to improve out health and the healthcare systems as well as:

How the clever Mercury and Venus conjunction on the 11th that brings head and heart together for inspiration
Why the Sun conjunct Saturn conjunction (also on the 11th March) invites us to put boundaries in place, especially where there were none before
Why there is a focus at the beginning of Aries, and how that might affect you
The health focus of the Virgo eclipse and how it can bring about a revolution
Why the Virgo eclipse affects America especially, since the eclipsed blood Moon will be in full view throughout USA’s night
What it means when Mercury goes retrograde within 24 hours after the eclipse, underscoring the exact same journey as Venus

Mars Direct and Pluto Applying To Opposition and the Magic and Romance in Venus Retrograde

Fri, 28 Feb 2025 09:31:00 +0100

Now that Mars is in direct motion, we look at the bigger cycles of Mars journey in opposition to Pluto, a hard aspect that hails back to 2019 and 2021. The Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast asks if you have any planets at 17’ Cancer, in aspect to Mars in order to feel the shift on the emotional plains, as well as:

The big outer planetary changing zodiac signs, signifying intense changes for planet Earth, that we cannot even imagine
A reminder of the poetry of the New Moon in Pisces and how it opens the play for all the big aspects many of which are in Pisces
Why Neptune’s place on the last degree of the entire zodiac will be dissolving paradigms or programmes we cannot even see, but have been living through
How Venus Retrograde could bring romance, love and abundance, and we really should not fear this magical retrograde that has intense aspects connected to it, such as the Aries Solar Eclipse

Mars Stations Direct To Energise Deeper Change and Progress

Fri, 21 Feb 2025 07:00:00 +0100

Finally, Mars is going direct, so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, we are doing to look at how Mars has taken away our energy in various areas of our lives and:

How Mars can act like a sword that cuts with precision to reshape our lives and bring about a new discernment
The extra dynamism Mars has lent to the change of leadership in USA, so that this time, Mars will enable the new government to cut far deeper into areas that previously made each government behave in the same way, enabling a major shift in progress
What happened last time Mars went retrograde in Gemini (ruling social media) when Elon Musk bought Twitter and cut back on 80% of its staff, so that we can see how Mars can bring about huge reductions in unnecessary expenses
How the iron, the metal of Mars, gives us the ‘will forces at birth and our first breath that oxygenates the blood bringing iron into the blood causing it to turn red
The different themes for Mars in Leo for a look inwards at our heart’s energy and Mars in Cancer, which switches to how our formative emotional landscape is in focus
What is in store for Mercury conjunct Saturn, and the Pisces New Moon to enforce an emotional reckoning and the ability to feel our way into creating the new reality

How The Planets Are Changing America, including Synchronicities in Robert F Kennedy Jr’s Horoscope For Karmic Reverberations

Fri, 14 Feb 2025 09:50:00 +0100

It’s Valentines Day and I was hoping for the flourish of love, but really the planets are giving us so many good days, I wanted to highlight a few in this week’s episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast:

A look at many of the beneficial days, not just the one day that Dr Joe Dispenza said was the portal, since Neptune is opening the pathway to the future with a conjunction to the North Node destiny point
The unique experience of 2025 as all the outer planets change signs, with Pluto already ingress Aquarius, and Neptune, Saturn, Jupiter and Uranus all making the big shift from March to July
How our consciousness will also change as Pluto in Aquarius will open our minds, whilst in politics, so much corruption and fraud is being revealed that has to take down the Capricorn hierarchy for a more even humanitarian Aquarian ideal
I look at Robert F Kennedy Jr’s chart as it allows him to draw up from his family resources, but change the karma around what his family is here to do, with him now at the helm and the planets behind him changing the world

Mars As A Quantum Space

Fri, 07 Feb 2025 14:32:00 +0100

In this episode I was inspired by the announcement by Elon Musk that Mars is our next pioneering venture for mankind, so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast I want to talk about Mars and:

look at whether Mars is a physical place we can go to, or whether our journey there is a dimensional shift instead
how our solar system is enclosed by the Oort Cloud which scientists declare is a vast region of rocky ice that encircles everything from huge incomprehensible distances
how Mars is a warrior planet that had to learn how to facilitate peaceful resolutions to antagonistic situations and are now supporting Earth to realise the same
to look at how the current Mars Retrograde in Cancer is inviting us to look at our formative emotional world and mother issues
why the Leo Full Moon on 12th is the real Valentine’s Day bring full heart send every year around this time and is super important due to the Venus Retrograde coming up through the romantic Pisces
a quick look at the book The Pfizer Papers by Naomi Wolf co-authored by several scientists, statisticians and medics to truthfully portray what has really gone on with our medical systems

Get Ready for February

Fri, 31 Jan 2025 10:42:00 +0100

I wanted to close off January by looking at how the Aquarian themes in the New Moon were playing out on the global stage, before we looked at February as well as:

How Aquarian themes of opening discussion but not actually arriving at a decision was on full display in Capitol Hill when the senators questioned RFKjr right on the date for the New Moon and its volatile ruler turning direct
The wondrous effect of Venus, North Node, Neptune and the Moon meeting at 28’ Pisces on 1st and 2nd February has so many incredible potentials which we should be mindful of
The absolute change in tactics as Venus ingress Aries on 4th February on the same day that Jupiter turns direct, giving us new ideas and extra energy to follow our hearts’ desire
Why the Saturn conjunction with Neptune could be a gateway to a new reality, since they caused the deconstruction of the Berlin Wall the last time these two planets met
Is the Full Moon in Leo, the Valentine’s we need, or want?

Wild Ways Aquaria

Fri, 24 Jan 2025 05:35:00 +0100

The intensity of Aquarian Season is increased this week with some phenomenal aspects which I didn’t want to miss for this week’s Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast where I look at:

The inauguration chart of the 47th American president and how that flavours the next four years
Sun conjunct Pluto for the inauguration but also an important entrance into Aquarius season where our existential ideas are set to expand our consciousness and deep, change from within is likely
How Venus applying to Neptune is going to increase the delusional tactics, distracting us by fake Nazi salutes, when there are far more interesting ideas to understand
Why learning about secrets held within the CIA has the ability to change our consciousness, and perhaps we might see information about the Moon landings
How the Moon holds our subconscious and karmic shadow forces, and was once part of earth, before it pulled out during the Lemurian era, and perhaps why we are aiming for Mars and not the Moon this time around
Mercury’s influence with Uranus increases our personal mental activity and is a good time to meditate and receive cosmic thoughts
Venus enters the shadow zone on 28th which brings immense blessings, opportunities to heal and potential for romance
The Aquarian New Moon, whilst its ruler turns direct is another blast of incredible mind-expanding, consciousness enhancing change and growth for humanity

Venus Magic Starts Now

Fri, 17 Jan 2025 07:00:00 +0100

We absolutely need to dive into the Venus process that starts this weekend 18th - 19th January, with the conjunction to Saturn in Pisces, in order to get the most out of the love, beauty, art and money that is at stake. This episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology podcast, I am looking at the larger process of Venus as she starts in a secure and supportive connection, but moves through a powerful set of magical connections in her retrograde journey, including:

Venus connects with Saturn now but but meets with Saturn two more times, and with the Master Builder of the solar system, we know they can be super creative and helpful to our dreams
We would normally be challenged by a Venus Retrograde, but since Venus is sailing along with Saturn, Neptune, the North Node and Mercury, she could be opening doors for our dreams to come true
As Venus meets with Neptune twice, but notably on the last degree of the zodiac and anaretic degree of Pisces, we can expect old emotions to just dissolve away, and this goes for past pains, past karmic connections, because we simply cannot take these with us to where we are heading
Can you imagine what is in store for us when Venus meets the North Node destiny point with Neptune, and does this point to magical transcendence, and love being enhanced on a grand scale

Super-Size Me: Moon & Mars

Fri, 10 Jan 2025 07:39:00 +0100

We cannot get away from the tsunami of emotion that the Moon and Mars brings next week, and I bring you all the details in this week’s Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast including:

Why the mythical story of Narcissus which involves the poor nymph Echo and wife Juno, is important for the characters we might recognise and who are all asteroids and can be found in our charts
How the energy of the Moon’s Nodal change is already happening and involves the horror of Virgo innocence being defiled, but holds the potential for the healing in Pisces
Why this Cancer Full Moon has so much extra power with its conjunction to Mars
The details of the occultation of Mars by the Moon straight after fullness
Where to look in the sky for the Mars opposition and the planetary line up of Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars

Moon’s Nodes, Narcissism and Mars

Fri, 03 Jan 2025 09:38:00 +0100

We start the year with the urge to let something go, due to the second exact opposition of Mars in his retrograde process, in opposition to Pluto. Mars will be very active in January so in this week’s episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast we explore where that could take us, as well as some incredibly beneficial aspects up to 11th January including:

Mars moving into the emotional landscape of Cancer and how this might affect our personal security, or already has, since we are all now looking at the ineffective healthcare systems
The Moon’s Nodes are about to move on, so we look at what they brought to our attention throughout the Aries / Libra axis and especially how the South Node in Libra got us talking about narcissism
What we can expect when Virgo hosts the South Node and highlights the atrocities within our food systems and how that has affected our metabolism and our health
Which days to put in your diary for the beautiful, creative impulse coming from the conjunctions Venus makes with Saturn, Neptune and the North Node
Where to look in the skies for best viewing of Venus next to Saturn at twilight, Jupiter at his brightest and Mars twinkling in red

Planetary Magical Brilliance in 2025

Fri, 27 Dec 2024 07:00:00 +0100

I don’t think we can quite comprehend the major shifts in the planets and how truly brilliant they could be, so in this issue of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology podcast, I wanted to look at 2025 and:

What the changes of the Moon’s North Nodes mean and how good this could be for healthcare
Why Venus Retrograde is going to open up vast possibilities that are beyond our imagination as she stirs up the end of Pisces together with Saturn, Neptune and the North Node
Why Mars, the ruler of Aries, will keep us focused on better avenues for the divine masculine, more appropriate national relations instead of war as Mars goes direct again
Saturn and Neptune moving into Aries will have opposing actions but the creative possibilities will be huge as one opens up our minds and the other ensures proper processes are undertaken
What action can we take in order to connect with our star-seed brother and sisters when Uranus moves into Gemini, opening the doorway to inter-dimensional communication?

Creative Impulses & Christ Codes

Fri, 20 Dec 2024 05:16:00 +0100

The world watches America watching the skies as drones and strange glistening orbs are on the news, so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast I wanted to give some astrological context. I feel this is exactly what we would expect at the end days of Neptune in Pisces and we should sit back and enjoy the show.

The creativity of Venus in Aquarius augmented by the media as Jupiter expands the influence of Gemini and the two planetary benefits work together in a trine
Solstice is bringing us a moment to stand still and contemplate where we are, before the next phase of the year turning
There are plenty of squares and oppositions throughout Christmas to keep us busy with new and varied situations, where the trick is to be inspired and not triggered
This episodes takes us to the Capricorn New Moon on 30th December which looks like a lone burst of practical energy in a sea of delusional aspects, so wait until the 30th to get your chores done
The 12 Holy Nights are aligned with the zodiac signs and a specific angelic host, and is the best way to tune into connect to the Christ Codes, so do listen out for more information on that, because it also provides the spiritual context to Christmas, should we be thirsting for something beyond the 3D material festivities

Deny, Delay and Depose

Fri, 13 Dec 2024 09:13:00 +0100

I wanted to look at the chart of Luigi Mangioni in relation to America’s and the CEO Brian Thompson for this issue of the Venus & Vesta evolutionary Astrology Podcast, because I felt the shooting of such a prominent corporate elitist could disappear but not when the astrology ties to that of America:

America is having a Chiron Return and so is Brian Thompson, which means the health care industry that he fronted and took to inappropriate level of profiteering, needs to change and perhaps this is the pain that needs to be lanced
Chiron is at 19’ Aries, right on Brian Thompson’s Chiron, and America’s is at 18’ Aries
Meanwhile Luigi Mangioni’s Chiron is in the deepest darkest waters of Scorpio, where it would remain hidden, if it were not for his Sun and Mars conjunct in opposition
Luigi’s Sun and Mars conjunct are his super power, yet he will be deeply affected by whatever Mars gets up to, indicated by him being caught as soon as Mars went retrograde two days after the killing
Marie Antoinette was also ‘caught’ or found guilty, two days before her death, as Mars had stationed direct
I feel sure that both Marie Antoinette would not have been found guilty, if Mars has remained in retrograde, and Luigi would still be at large, if Mars had not gone retrograde
The killing also has a lot of significance to the North Node now reaching the first degrees of the zodiac, where new inspiration for humanity can be found

Mars Drivers, Gemini News

Fri, 06 Dec 2024 07:00:00 +0100

Mars has just turned retrograde, but in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast: I look at whether we really should switch off, or are we waiting for our adversaries to go into low power mode? I also look at:

How good the Mercury Cazimi in Sagittarius could be for worldwide peace (or at least, not WWIII)
What Mars Retrograding over Robert F Kennedy Junior’s ascendant might mean, given that his 12H of karma is Cancer, the family and will we see some of the family karma rear its head, or is this truly the revealing of the ‘house of the enemies’ as other senators try and discredit him
How Jupiter in Gemini just keeps expanding the power of the media so that they are truly blind to the lies behind their narrative and how this is going to keep giving, whilst the Sagittarius oppositions to Jupiter are going to give us new information for higher truths
Why the Gemini Full Moon is extra explosive and the potential for real information to be revealed, and more antagonism, but is it all just words?
Asteroid Eros, the cherub with the love dart, is involved in the Gemini Full Moon, which is worth investigating if this Moon connects with your planets or angles
How the Mars Retrograde connects with Tucker Carlson and the recent Mercury Cazimi is sitting on his own natal Mars Retrograde, surely the sign to take his connections with Russia to a more exalted place
Venus moving into Aquarius on the same day that Neptune stations direct, perhaps for some wild imaginative situations to flare up

Mars Retrograde Society Detox

Fri, 29 Nov 2024 07:00:00 +0100

Mars is stationing retrograde on 6th December, so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta evolutionary Astrology Podcast I had to look at some of the benefits of Mars going retrograde and how we can use this dynamic energy when it’s in slow motion and ideas such as:

A look at the chart of the legendary artist Michelangelo and how he has the Mars opposition Pluto that is current in the sky now, and how we can like its intensity to the Hades Moon
Michelangelo’s quote of seeing the angel within the rock and he just set it free by carving it out, as an analogy for our own experience of Mars going retrograde
Pluto as the mirror of our shadow and potential addiction, bereavement, abandonment and trauma that we somehow get through to survive renewed
Mars opposite Pluto as the grain of sand irritating us in order to grow from within, just like the pearl
The next Mars Pluto opposition on New Year’s Day and what to look out for.
Listening to the Health Wealth podcast and Mike Collins the sugar detox man and how Mars Retrograde is the perfect time to detox our blood whilst in Leo, and our emotional life whilst in Cancer, to come back renewed
Mars Retrograde in Cancer and how it can help us face abandonment issues or lack of comfort or validation from childhood, and help us re-nurture ourselves
How the global sugar trade and following humanity’s addiction was built on the Pluto in Capricorn destitution and slavery of others, and Pluto in Aquarius is a great time to learn to live free from these type of hidden addictions

Grand Fire Trine Information Inferno

Fri, 22 Nov 2024 07:00:00 +0100

Sagittarius season is upon us and in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, we are going to look at how the fire element is going to ignite so many issues around information along with:

The Mars Pluto opposition which persists and is adding to the fire power of Pluto entering into Aquarius.
The Grand Fire Trine including Mars in Leo, the North Node in Aries and the Sun in Sagittarius, becoming exact on 26th / 27th November.
Mercury in fire sign Sagittarius going retrograde on the same day as the Grand Fire Trine becomes exact, increasing the fire power, but also digging deep to find the truth through layers of media misinformation.
The Jupiter ruled Sagittarius New Moon on 1st December, which really expands the fire element, igniting our hope for the future, or maybe the button for nuclear war.
Jupiter’s positivity, the ‘yes’ planet, but is that yes to war, or yes to our plans and in an air sign, acting as the explosive bellows for the Grand Fire Trine.
Mars Retrograde in Leo, and why we should go deeper into our own feelings about ourselves, and accept the refinement Mars brings.
Why we must all pray for Robert F Kenney Jr as the Mars Retrograde deeply affects him and could bring him closer to the family karma which could be revealed to him as Mars Rx crosses his South Node on the day his team get into power, potentially unlocking the CIA files.

Pluto Through The Ages

Fri, 15 Nov 2024 07:00:00 +0100

When a planet or aspects shows you its power with a crash, you have to sit up and pay attention, so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I looked at Pluto in so many guises such as:

Pluto through the signs, from its discovery in 1930 and through the ages.
Pluto as the Price of Darkness and Lord of the Underworld and how he has a blossoming every 666 years.
Pluto’s conjunction with crazy Uranus in the mid 1960’s and how it reverberates now and when we reach their trine in 2026.
How we can ignore Pluto when he is in Capricorn, because this focuses on the larger structures that run our lives and the big institutions. However, when Pluto reaches Aquarius, his laser focus is on society and our part in it. Let’s go!
The seven Pluto Uranus squares from 2012 to 2015 and how we might be feeling the benefit of what we changed or created then.

Astrology Of An Election

Fri, 08 Nov 2024 07:00:00 +0100

In this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast I wanted to check on the astrology around the American election as some people were getting to emotional to read it properly, and within all the aspects donating big change, I looked at:

The astrology up until the end of Sagittarius season, so including
Was it Mars ingress Leo that gave the power to Trump to cross the line…I think it went deeper than that.
Venus ingress Capricorn and how this planet of love and value, may hold the markets steady as Pluto exits the other end of the business world after15 years.
The wildness around the Taurus Full Moon and its conjunction to Uranus, which could have an incredible effect on farming, food, finance and the land.
What Saturn adds to the Taurus Full Moon, since the karmic planet stations direct on the same day.
The tricks that Mercury and Jupiter are going to get up to in opposition.
And of course Pluto moving into Aquarius to change our lives forever, and the link to my ‘American Pluto Return' episode from October 2022, which gives you the low down on its history, listen here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4BxxxAo569pLkdq3VPBRxE?si=c710aa4d27fd4bba

Power Start To November

Fri, 01 Nov 2024 06:58:00 +0100

This is ’the week’ of such dramatic and intense aspects surrounding the American elections, I had to focus in on what was going on for this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast covering the first week of November and:

The intensity of this Scorpio New Moon which is ruled by Pluto, who is at the anoretic degree AND at the head of a kite, AND in a powerful opposition to Mars. Dig deep!
Saturn Retrograde as the key aspect to this New Moon, clearly lending the gravitas we so badly need, but might be squirming against.
The Mystical Rectangle that provide active progress and longed for benefits.
The fanatical stories that might appear once Venus opposes Jupiter Retrograde, which then increase when Mercury also opposes Jupiter in the media world of Gemini.
Mercury’s upcoming retrograde period is here and the extra hyperbole to expect.
The drama, the passion, the fire cracking courage and ferocity that is Mars in Leo.
Pray for Robert F Kennedy Jr who is at the eye of the Mars Rx storm. And check out Naomi Wolf’s new book The Pfizer Papers by way of using the Mercurial oppositions to Jupiter in Gemini.

The Gods Of Change For October

Fri, 25 Oct 2024 07:00:00 +0100

We are in intense times that demand change at the highest, Capricorn levels and so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I talk about the weekend Friday 25th October and the days following, whereby we have:

The Grand Water Trine still active, with Mars applying to the exact opposition of Pluto, both the malefic on the degree of crisis in opposition.
The intensity growing for Mars as ruler of the last Full Moon, in opposition to the intensity of Pluto, the ruler of this New Moon (and Mars as the old ruler).
Uranus as the head of the Kite that gives the Grand Water Trine energy somewhere to focus on, which means dynamic, seismic change.
Venus in Sagittarius wants freedom to express her divinity, whilst she is in a square to Saturn Rx in Pisces, that could cause major decisions on Monday 28th October.
Steiner philosophy states our brain is a sensory organ that receives information from the cosmos, which is essentially the role of Uranus combined with the more earth bound Mercury
Methods of meditating to help receive the exalted and higher codes from the cosmos that is Uranus.
Whether the incredible power of the Scorpio New Moon will bring more secrets of the stars such as J-Lo and P Diddy to the wider world.
The death throes around this Moon in readiness for the voting in America…I see the death of patriarchal systems represented by Pluto in Capricorn.
Join me for a Scorpio New Moon live astrology circle to be first in line to receive deeper wisdom whilst the veil is thin.

The Spiritual Essence of Neptune's Transcendence

Fri, 18 Oct 2024 07:00:00 +0100

The Grand Water Trine is still going and as it features Neptune hanging around the last degrees of Pisces, in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I wanted to look at the dissolving effects of Neptune here at the last degrees of the entire zodiac, including:

The idea, spoken about by people as distinguished as Casey Means, that Neptune at the last degrees of the zodiac in Pisces is bringing about a spiritual crisis of our times.
A look at Neptune’s 165 year orbit and what was happening the last times it stayed in Pisces.
How the women’s suffrage movement was forcing the dissolving of patriarchal beliefs in the Victorian era of Neptune in Pisces, AND how the attitudes towards slavery had to change at the same time during this period.
Details of the Salem Witch Trials which happened with Neptune in Crisis and how this may have been brought about by Ergot poisoning, which is also a powerful remedy for women.
The UK’s break with Europe in recent years AND the break with Rome and the Catholic Church back in the Tudor period which we can blame on Neptune in Pisces.
The progress of Saturn and Neptune in Pisces over the next 18 months which brings about the glitch in the old software of our programming, so that we have to upgrade to new operating systems.
Dates for Neptune’s progress into Aries and back again, as well as Mercury and Venus Retrograde meeting with the North Node, Saturn and Pisces next year in late Pisces.

Mars Pluto Process

Fri, 11 Oct 2024 07:00:00 +0100

In this week’s episode, we talk about how Mars is super powered in his shadow zone and what to expect such as:

Mars opposite his higher octave of Pluto will become exact at Halloween, right on the 29’ degree of crisis.
Octagenarians and Nonagenerians are experiencing their Pluto opposition, only possible because Pluto has such an eccentric orbit, and our old people are definitely feeling Pluto in Capricorn, the commercial world in their Pluto in Cancer ‘home world'.
Mars get activated even further during the Aries Full Moon (from last episode) which he rules.
USA has its North Node at 6’ Leo, right were Mars will retrograde and carving a very different future for America after this retrograde.
Venus goes retrograde whilst Mars is in the shadow zone, but she will be connecting with Neptune to make the most incredible magic and something to look forward to after the Mars Retrograde.
Why should we go with the journey inwards, and draw our circle of family and friends closer during this time

Maximum Mars Fire Power in the October Shadow Zone

Fri, 04 Oct 2024 07:00:00 +0100

In this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast I just had to focus on the actions of Mars since he steps into the shadow zone of the upcoming Mars Retrograde, including:

The Grand Earth Trine of last month gives way to the Grand Water Trine in this month, meaning emotions will be running high and our extra sensory perception will be on point.
The Grand Water Trine will involve both Saturn (building) and Neptune (dissolving) at different points, but Mars is the key player in the third point in Cancer, again causing emotional struggles to develop quickly.
Mars is in Caner is the warrior in the kitchen and perhaps a little uncomfortable with all that sentiment, so we must watch out for trigger reactions and family entanglements as part of this Grand Water Trine, but at the same time, protecting the family will be high priority.
America’s Sun is at 13’ Cancer, and the UK’s Moon is at 19’, so both countries will be part of this whirlpool of fast moving issues and internal struggles out in the open.
Mars moves into the shadow zone of his upcoming retrograde and then makes an opposition to his overlord, Pluto which dials up the intensity so that decisions around corruption, occupation and war will be decisive and dramatic.
Mars rules the Aries Full Moon on 17th which will be part of a Cardinal Square, the starter klaxon for angry tirades, and even more war.
Eris is the third Goddess in a row to be conjunct the last three lunation (with Circe and Lilith), and she has the ability to call out any societal programmes that our not fit for purpose, let along drawing us deeper into war states.

Libra Eclipse Expose

Fri, 27 Sep 2024 07:00:00 +0100

You have to be in hiding not to see the exposé of Sean Combs, P Diddy that is going on right now, so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I look at his chart and how it pertains to the wider collective and Libra themes of relating such as:

The Pluto on the last degree of Capricorn (and on P Diddy’s natal Mars) to deconstruct the powerful, global elite, as well as…
Neptune in the last degrees of Pisces, dissolving the illusion that the entertainment industry portrays, so that we can wake up form our own delusion
How this South Node eclipse, can help bring up serious issues such as child sex trafficking which most people think happens in a far distance land, but the the planets are showing us is part of our past and time for change
Venus is the ruler of Libra, and she is nesting in Scorpio right now, emphasising the shadow aspect that is being brought to the surface for us to examine and put right
Black Moon Lilith is conjunct the Libra Solar Eclipse and she doesn’t take prisoners and will help us all face our own shadow…bring out your dead!!
The Libra Solar Eclipse is an opportunity to forgive ourselves and not hold the darkness in our hearts, but to allow it to come forth and rise the frequency so that this darkness has more difficulty existing

Dissolving Dimensions at the Eclipse & Equinox

Fri, 20 Sep 2024 08:11:00 +0100

I cannot impress enough how the eclipse and the equinox are creating a portal to take humanity through a dimensional shift in consciousness, so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology podcast, we are going to look at:

The mysterious qualities of eclipses and how they can open us to shadow beings, forces that we are perhaps unaware of, quoting Steiner who warns of being carelessly in the light of the eclipsed moon
How Circe the sorceress and witch is integral to this eclipse and to Neptune in the coming days, whereby her magical powers are added to this eclipse energy
How Lilith another strong female will be conjunct the next eclipse which is a solar eclipse in Libra on 2nd October
Why the Equinox connects us to the Earth’s rhythms and the syzygy of the Earth, Moon and Sun in a way that enforces our vital energy and our mission here in this lifetime
The Grand Water Trine that Venus in Scorpio brings about to highlight our emotional landscape in a powerful and dynamic way throughout the rest of September and in to October
The conjunction of Mercury, the Sun and the South Node and what this means for the collective and how we can update our relating style since it is in Libra

Magical Consciousness Expanding Neptunian Eclipse

Fri, 13 Sep 2024 13:27:00 +0100

We are in eclipse season and the first eclipse has the most amazing opportunities for us to expand our consciousness and make our dreams real, so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast we are looking at:

How Neptune can increase and expand our consciousness, leaving us wide open to the vast oneness (both good and bad)
What Harald Kautz-Vella says about ai not being compatible with our multi-dimensional consciousness and that if anyone want to hijack our minds, they have to reduce the consciousness down to binary level to ‘match’
Neptune in Pisces and Jupiter, then Uranus in Gemini will increase the ai exponentially and social engineering won’t be an underground possibility but a very real lived experience
How consciousness and humanity is combined with nature, and that surrender to a higher will, or God’s plan is the only thing possible with Neptune in such a powerful position
The psychic experiences, the visions, the illumined delusion available to us at this eclipse with Neptune leading the way
The nodal shift from Aries Libra to Pisces Virgo, and how Pisces’ lesson in letting do is the surrender we all need to allow whilst using our wildest imagination to make our dreams come true
My free lunar eclipse circle at 7pm London time, BST, to explain the astrology and take a meditative journey to experience these mind expanding qualities and bring in more of our higher selves alignment

Virgo Rules Eclipse Season

Fri, 06 Sep 2024 10:05:00 +0100

Virgo season gives us the need for truth and some kind of order in our lives and it would be good to listen as we move through epic shifts that I cover in this week’s episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, including:

The irritation that creates the pearl is the square between the precise Virgo Sun and playful Jupiter in Gemini
The joy that is the weekend of Venus in Libra making the most amazing trine connection with Jupiter in Gemini for blessings to soothe and inspire our mental capacity and flirting capabilities
Neptune’s power of delusion increases at the head of a kite at the lunar eclipse
How we might use the grounding of Virgo season to ready ourselves for the magical consciousness expansion that is the Pisces Lunar Eclipse

Vive Ła Revolution

Fri, 30 Aug 2024 07:00:00 +0100

September starts with revolutionary aspects of Uranus turning retrograde, Pluto moving back into Capricorn, and the Virgo New Moon…as if to goad each other into action.

In this week’s episode of the V&V Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I look at:

How Uranus is integral to revolution and freedom and that key players are stepping up to show us how to fight for our freedom, especially the French
What corruption Pluto is going to intensify when he moves back into Capricorn, empowering America’s Pluto Return
Why Robert F Kennedy Jr is intrinsically linked to America’s Pluto Return with his planets at the end of Capricorn which are at once his legacy, but also offering healing of past events
How Mercury is inviting us to think about our sovereignty and how we might voice what is in our hearts
Details of the Virgo New Moon and how it offers goodness but at a hard price
Plus details of my new astrology course which is finally being launched (after the Mercury Rx hiccup)

End Of Leo Power Moves

Fri, 23 Aug 2024 07:00:00 +0100

The end of August and beginning of September are jam packed with dynamic power moves by the planets, so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I wanted to take it real slow and look at some key points;

The last day of Leo is early this year and this has affected my Solar Return, so I wanted to explain Solar Return charts and how you can use your birthday to upgrade the flavouring of your year ahead
I was super surprised to see that Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have some similar aspects in their chart which are skyrocketing in the coming days…both of them have excellent chances of winning, but their ’twinning’ aspects make it hard to differentiate who is the winner
The asteroid Mary Magdalene is bringing her sacral power to crazy Uranus and the Moon for the potential healing of old wounds within the collective and is a beautiful force to empower our own chi with
Mercury is going direct but doesn’t move quietly, making aspects with the big guns of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto to force new modes of thinking that are empowering for each of us individually
The Virgo New Moon in the balm in the rocky seas enables us to discern what is right and gather our good intentions

Rebel Rebel Aquarius Full Moon

Fri, 16 Aug 2024 14:16:00 +0100

As if we are not experiencing enough chaos and instability with the Mars Jupiter conjunction, August continues to give wild and unexpected events, so I wanted to cover what is really going on in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology podcast with:

the continuation of Mars and Jupiter conjunct in Gemini
the Mercury Cazimi in Leo, opposite the Aquarius Full Moon for even wilder and crazier action, ready for seismic changes
how the Aquarius Full Moon, is making a t-square with the Mercury Cazimi Sun and its ruler Uranus in Taurus for volcanic explosive moves
suggestion that maybe all the ADHD diagnosis is the new human who is waking up to our part in nature where we are not meant to work in boxes and certainly Uranus is making that untenable
Uranus still has 16 months in Taurus (the earth) to bring about powerful aspects with conjunctions to upcoming full moons, giving us a display of firepower
Leo Kate Bush day on her birthday of 28th July is now a thing we need to get involved with, and how her natal chart has very similar wild and rebellious energy to the skies now
how Venus in Virgo will TRY to put things right (against all odds)
the Sun ingress from Leo to Virgo is at the head of a yod aspect and therefore this change of sign will highlight the cold breeze of discernment coming through our lives
next up will be my esoteric astrology course coming very soon

I'm getting ready to launch my esoteric astrology course which will take us down a few rabbit holes of the occult and the evolution or humanity and our part in it. I hope you can join me for this, beginners and intermediate alike.

Shift Of Ages Starts Here

Fri, 09 Aug 2024 13:23:00 +0100

Gemini energy is at its peak in the middle of Leo season, bringing about a war of words that come from the heart…in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology podcast, I wanted to look ahead at what this Gemini activity can ignite in our minds, because we are getting ready for major shift ahead, but for now I look at:

Dynamic Mars and expansive Jupiter in Gemini being active all week and making squares to Saturn Retrograde and Venus in Virgo demanding precision and truth
Mercury Retrograde creates a Cazimi with the Sun at the Aquarius Full Moon…and they make a T-square to Uranus the ruler of Aquarius, catapulting us into future dimensions that we cannot even imagine
Mercury Retrograde is the lower octave of Uranus where they both relate to speaking, connections, communication and the mind so what we listen to, what we are hearing is very important
Sound baths are going to be elevated to new healing potential during this time and I mention experiments done on the blood receiving sound waves and how it oxygenates the blood and makes red blood cells more viable
Putting 19th August in your diary is essential for the sound bath, but also for exciting events to occur, to be inspired for creative projects and be warned that anger might be triggered…we have been forewarned that people are going to be excitable, passionate and on an easy trigger

Leo New Moon & The Truth Of The Lion’s Gate 888

Fri, 02 Aug 2024 06:30:00 +0100

The Leo New Moon is always an exciting time of year to re-connect with our heart’s desire, one that I always recommend, so for this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast I wanted to emphasise the heart-warming, passionate themes for this New Moon…go out and celebrate. However, there is also the Lion’s Gate 888 portal to consider and there is so many ideas about this, I wanted to look at whether it was a real thing or not, so for this episode:

Give the juicy facts about this lovely Leo New Moon so that we can celebrate our passions and upgrade our total vibe
Caveat the Leo celebrations with the next days' shift to Virgo discernment that at once adds certainty and support to our Leo escapades, but also reduces the warmth somewhat
Look at how the Mercury Retrograde in Virgo is also going to draw us into a more analytical, critical mode where we demand the facts
Understand how Mercury Retrograde moves back into Leo, to emphasise the dramatic headlines that need clarifying
Delve into the truth (or lack thereof) of the Lion’s Gate Portal 888 which aligns with the rising of Sirius…and find this is based on various facts that do not align in August at all
Bring in the real facts for Sirius and its star beings and how it signified the rising of the Nile and the renewal of food production for life

Fly Me To The Moon

Fri, 26 Jul 2024 15:42:00 +0100

Is the moon landing a fake? It is the 55th anniversary of the moon landings, and a new film Fly Me To The Moon (starring Scarlett Johannsen and Channing Tatum) creates a case for a fake film of the landing…so in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology podcast, I'm looking at some of the classic myths to see if we can be convinced either way and a look at what the astrology tells us:

Why are some of the shadows on the Moon not in parallel which points to a light source closer than the Sun?
Why are there various light sources in the photograph in the reflection of the astronaut’s visor?
How did they get through the highly radioactive Van Allen belt surrounding Earth?
Why are there no stars in the sky?
Why is the Earth the same size as we see the Moon and not four times larger as it should be?
The Sun and Moon in the 12H for the launch points to many secrets.
The Leo Moon and Ascendant on launch day points to big emotional drama.
The Moon, Jupiter, Uranus in Libra for the landing, all in the 8H with Pluto points to a major cover up and more secrets - we want to know what they are not telling us!

Algol Medusa In A Modern World

Fri, 19 Jul 2024 13:52:00 +0100

Let’s look at Algol, the evillest demon star in the heavens, since this is the point of the explosive Mars Uranus conjunction that exploded for Donald Trump last week. I want to take a deep dive into this fixed star to see if it deserves its reputation. In this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology we look at:

The Myth of Algol, which is the Gorgon Medusa head and its mainstream narrative
The other ideas in the story of Medusa which include unfounded accusations and blame, as well as taking punishment for others
Celebrities who have taken the blame for other people’s actions on the world stage such as Christine Keeler who has four planets on Algol
Medusa was a beautiful maiden before she was cursed by Athena and became the monster with snake hair
The royals who were beheaded, Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Lady Jane Grey and Marie Antoinette and their Algol placements
How the head of Medusa is also a symbol of protection and is used on the shield Aegis and even Versace’s logo
Perseus slue Medusa by using a mirror and in the modern context this placement has themes of looking at your own shadow in the mirror
Other astrology: the Capricorn Full Moon and Mars ingress Gemini on 21st, Leo season on 22nd and Mercury ingress Virgo on 23rd

Uranus Fresh Revolution

Fri, 12 Jul 2024 13:31:00 +0100

As Uranus is connecting with Mars, the God Of War, I wanted to look in this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast at Uranus activity in Taurus, representing Mother Earth and how crazy that could be. I cover:

Uranus conjunct Mars and how crazy and explosive that could be
Uranus and Mars making this connection on the evilest star in the cosmos, Algol, which is the demon star
Algol is the head of Medusa, she with the snake hair, who was cursed by Athena, rather unfairly
How we created nuclear fission energy the last time Uranus was in Taurus because we Uranus has an electrifying enlightening quality, and Taurus is the earth’s energies, even the tiny atoms
Taurus ingress into Gemini next year for a few months and fully in 2026
How not just Uranus, but Saturn, Neptune and Pluto are also shifting signs so we are in for dramatic changes in the next two years
Uranus moves into Gemini to electrify the air, and how this era civilisation is said to destroy itself with air
Mercury moving into the shadow zone of the upcoming retrograde that starts in Virgo but ends in Leo and how that will give assurance to the heart
I end up discussing Donald Trump’s chart since he will be deeply affected by both the Mars Uranus & Algol conjunction on his career point, and also by the Mercury Retrograde over his ascendant.

Time Wave Spirals & Venus Magnetic Pull

Fri, 05 Jul 2024 12:52:00 +0100

I’ve recently been alerted to the quantum physics of Time Wave Spirals by more than one person, so wanted to share what I have discovered here in the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology podcast because I think it pertains to the splitting in timeline or dimensional frequencies that some of us are experiencing. In this episode I talk about:

Time Wave Spirals which bring a new inter-dimensional frequency spiral called the Reuche Good Seed or Kryst code frequency by Waking Earth
The quantum physics behind this Kryst spiral claim that the Fibonacci sequence is a closed circuit and therefore not in the flow of creation or connecting us to God source…
The two spirals meeting at the 144,000 frequency on November 2023 when we had a conscious or unconscious choice to join the new frequency or loop back into 3D
How this aligns with the dissolving nature of Neptune at the last degree of Pisces
How Venus pulls the energy of the Neptune delusion into Leo to oppose Pluto in Aquarius, the people…is this forcing us to accept the dark shadow or reclaim our sovereignty
The explosion that will occur when Mars joins Uranus in Taurus, enabling us to blast through the rock face of the wall in front of us…let us see what is on the other side

Cancer New Moon, New Start

Fri, 28 Jun 2024 15:07:00 +0100

Saturn Week of Action

Fri, 21 Jun 2024 13:43:00 +0100

Saturn is the ruler of this week’s Capricorn Full Moon and will be turning retrograde, so in this week’s Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Podcast I wanted to look at his style of action and:

how Saturn is an agent of the Prince of Darkness, he is the Lord of Karma, the Master Builder and Chronos who ate his children for fear they would take over…
and Saturn is also Satan and in this current era working as Ahriman, who works through the manifest world to reduce humanity down to just physical matter without spirit
why we don’t just reject these agents of the Prince of Darkness, Lucifer or Satan, we want to understand their lessons and as Rudolf Steiner overriding premise, to combine Spirit and Science
in the week that Saturn rules the Full Moon, he then turns retrograde, enabling a shift in operations
and a day after Neptune also turns retrograde, and the two bring about a huge sea change in our worlds…just when France and the UK go to the polls…the outcome is probably going to be way different than any of us expected

Gemini Changes, Neptune Dissolution

Fri, 14 Jun 2024 07:00:00 +0100

I was amazed at what is happening in this Gemini season on a global, rather than personal scale, where is all the flirting and buzzing around? So in this week’s episode (14th - 22nd June) of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast I delve into the multitude of decisions made and the minds changed in the European elections, and the upcoming UK and French elections and how the buzz of Gemini and the dissolving nature of Neptune may bring about some surprises. Plus:

The end of the UK Tory party and the disillusionment and facing up to hard facts in PM Rishi Sunak’s chart
The Mercury and Sun conjunction in Gemini that will affect Donald Trump
Mercury and Venus making a decisive square to Neptune, both at the anaretic degree, so forcing us to let go of old beliefs and potentially change our minds about what is to come
Neptune in Pisces through many previous sojourns and what watery spiritual progress was made, including new sewage works, circumnavigating the world, dissolution of the monastries and the Salem witch trials
Mercury and Venus, then the Sun, moving into Cancer and the wave of emotional empathy that can bring, putting family life at its centre
A time to connect with our own part in the great story of life at Solstice on 21st June
What the Capricorn Full Moon will bring as it highlights global governments and their corporate greed, so a time to dedicate our truth to Saturn, Lord of Karma

Venus As Goddess of Love

Fri, 07 Jun 2024 18:41:00 +0100

In this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast we go from 9th of June through to the 20th June, up to Solstice. I go into depth about a few aspects that I felt need explaining such as:

what makes a Cazimi, as I want to make a case for a more rare and exclusive astrological event that brings in the magic of Mercury and Venus. I explain the history of the Cazimi from the ancient definitions, and why I think it needs to be updated.
how Venus is currently hidden from our view and is changing from the Goddess of War (morning star), which has been her guise since last August, to the recent conjunction where she is behind the Sun and will eventually appear as the Goddess of LOVE (evening star).
the rare Mercury and Venus transits in front of the Sun that have their own unique power.
the online two week Rose Dieta to take advantage of Venus change to ‘love mode’, by mediating and communing with the Rose Diva to deepen our wisdom of this all powerful flower and its mystery.
the upcoming ingress of Mercury and Venus into Cancer on 17th June and a whole new era of sentimentality and compassion.
the squares of Mercury, Venus and then the Sun to Neptune who is at the last degree of the zodiac, 29' Pisces and how that will be working to dissolve the current paradigm so that anything is possible going forward.

The Ahrimanic Forces in Gemini Season

Fri, 31 May 2024 06:00:00 +0100

In this episode I wanted to complete the ‘triplicity’ of Lucifer, Christ and Ahriman that Rudolf Steiner proposes and show how it is relevant to this Gemini season…but also for a possible incarnation of Ahriman, predicted to be around this time.

In this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I cover the astrology of the first week of June up to 9th and:

the three ways in which the Prince of Darkness influences humanity
the two timelines of promotion of his shadow forces or indeed, his incarnation, culminating right NOW
the year 666 and how it is used by dark forces for repeated incarnations or building or power
how Jupiter making a trine with Pluto, exact up to the 3rd June, could bring about mind control if we are not wary, but is a time for us all to be creative and open to new thinking and possible a change of mind
the conjunction between Venus and the Sun and her influence as the Goddess of War as the morning star in the last 10 months, as seen on the global stage, now finally changing to the Goddess of Love (evening star)
the fizzing energy of the New Moon in Gemini conjunct Venus on 6th June as a fresh new opportunity for better thinking and exciting connections
the growing influence of Saturn and his authoritative stance over the month starting with the Sun, Venus square to Saturn on 9th June

Gemini, Duality & the Devil

Fri, 24 May 2024 07:00:00 +0100

As Jupiter is moving into Gemini, this week’s episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology podcast goes DEEP into Gemini and the duality construct it represents. I look at Gemini from the more mainstream observation and what happened in recent times when Gemini was active to the more esoteric ideas behind Gemini and the duality of the hidden shadow twin and the subconscious. This includes:

Events around the North Node in Gemini which propagated the idea that our media platforms were using algorithms to influence the narrative and our governments out and out lied
Mars Retrograde in Gemini which brought about the whole process of Elon Musk buying Twitter, laying off half the staff and then renaming it X in an effort to promote free speech
Duality was streaming down to earth through the star system of Gemini during The Fall in order that humanity experiences separation from spirit
The shadow realm and the subconscious is run by The Prince of Darkness who uses duality to obstruct humanity from evolution and he has three main developments 666 years apart
Initially The Prince of Darkness was Sorat The Beast in 666, then Lucifer the devil in 1330 and now at 1998 we have a possible incarnation of Ahriman

The Enormity Of Jupiter Transits With the Sagittarius Full Moon & Ingress Gemini

Fri, 17 May 2024 08:00:00 +0100

Jupiter is of course the planet of abundance and as it plays a huge part in the Sagittarius Full Moon, as ruler of Sagittarius and then goes on to ingress Gemini, I had to take a deep dive into Jupiter for this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast.

We look into:

Who Jupiter is as Lord of the Gods and aka Zeus
How is enormous size means it has a dynamic gravitational pull that keeps meteors, comets and asteroids from crashing into earth
As protector and ruler of Sagittarius, Jupiter wants us to also play big or go home, inviting us to step up to our A game
Jupiter can cause us to go into excess states where things go over the top, so now we know all things Gemini are going to be elevated for our attention
Jupiter was last in Gemini in 2012 when a huge awakening to ‘conspiracy theories’ (a Gemini theme) occurred especially with the deep occult symbolism of the global elite within the London Olympics
I quote the website Vigilant Citizen and the excellent work they did translating the Olympic ceremonies here:
The Occult Symbolism of the 2012 Olympics Opening and Closing Ceremonies
Gemini as the twins and the idea of a shadow or subconscious self is about to elevated so that many of us may face and connect with someone else embodying our shadow

Magical Blessings Mid-May

Fri, 10 May 2024 07:00:00 +0100

Whilst we have been looking at our inter-stellar star being cousins, I wanted to bring our attention to the five comets traversing our skies in 2024 in this episode. One of these photo-bombed the recent Solar Eclipse and proclaimed to be the Pons-Brooks ‘devil comet’, but was actually a new discovery. How is that for space radar equipment?? If you are a astronomy geek too, you will love the work of two astro-photographers I mention: Petr Horálek and Sebastian Voltmer.

In this episode of the Venus And Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I take us from the fruitful days after the Taurus New Moon through a string of absolutely blossoming days of positive blessings from 12th May, as the Sun, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus meet in Taurus to connect us to our inner joy, our desires and satisfaction. Knowing these blessings are on our doorstep should give us the confidence to act with courage on the days through to the lucky Full Moon in Sagittarius on 23rd May.

These positively-charged aspects are what we have been waiting for, for a long time!

Pleiades In Taurus and Other Star Seed Systems

Fri, 03 May 2024 00:15:00 +0100

As Taurus Season has so many brilliant dates to manifest your dreams, I thought it would be wise to check in on what else is happening in Taurus and focused right in on the wonderful star system of the Pleiades.

These are the Seven Sisters, and they are at the heart of the Taurus constellation, actually at the Bull’s heart. So in this episode of the Venus and Vesta Evolutionary Astrology podcast, I look into who they are and what they mean to humanity, which is essentially our consciousness development and planetary ascension.

I also look at the other star systems that are home to various off planet beings, or extraterrestrials and what their relevance to human evolution is. We look at Venus and Mars, Zeta Reticuli, who are The Greys, Arcturians, planet Maldek and the Annunaki from Nibiru, or Planet X. I then delve into whether we are Star Seeds carrying various planetary DNA, or Star Seeds are amongst us ready to support humanity through the upcoming shifts in consciousness and dimensional frequencies.

Beltane Fertile Codes of May

Fri, 26 Apr 2024 05:52:00 +0100

As the Taurus new moon heralds a period of fecundity this Beltane, we find ourselves poised on the brink of not just seasonal change, but potentially seismic societal shifts as this episode of the Venus And Vesta Evolutionary Astrology podcast covers the first week or so of May. I'm excited to share with you the ways in which Taurus Season echoes the themes of growth and physical manifestation during this vibrant time. With Mars charging into its domicile of Aries, we feel the pulse of assertiveness beating through the global veins, possibly igniting transformations that could alter the very fabric of our collective experience.

Pluto's retrograde dance in Aquarius invites us to a contemplative waltz, pondering on the vast societal frameworks that cradle our existence. Within this cosmic retreat lies the possibility of a global detente, an intense, long exhale in the midst of often tumultuous international relations. As Pluto meets with the asteroid Osiris on this retrograde point, I weave through the mythological parallels of both Osiris and Isis, reflecting on the profound cycle of rebirth and inner exploration that Pluto's backward stride signifies. It's a time to witness the unraveling and potential reassembling of societal norms, much like the rekindling of ancient stories that still whisper of deeper wisdom into our modern lives.

As we bask in the earthy embrace of Taurus Season, I delve into the significance of body autonomy and the creative surge that comes with this grounded energy. With a keen eye on current events, including the UK government's impending inquiry into the pandemic response, we may find ourselves redefining our relationships with our bodies and the structures that seek to govern them. As the first two week's of May unfolds, I'll guide you in embracing the sumptuous offerings of love, sex, money, and the delectable pleasures of life. Together, let's harness the law of attraction and revel in the abundance that this fertile period promises, with key dates for the flourishing of love, luck and money, reminding ourselves of the power inherent in the cycle of life and our role in sculpting its beauty.

Pisces Season and the Power of the Aries North Node

Fri, 16 Feb 2024 01:00:00 +0100

Pisces season starts mid February and Venus & Vesta takes us through the emotional landscape that the sign of the fish takes us through. This sign will draw out all our compassion and empathy for those suffering in the world with hope that we get more nuance about the major Aries conjunction that is bringing us to war.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The North Node destiny point in Aries is active all month long, drawing out the narrative that war is the way to peace, yet it makes a conjunction to Chiron, who is the wise counsellor, inviting us as individuals (as Aries rules the individual ego), to look at the pain and suffering that this will cause.
The North Node and Chiron conjunction is exact on 19th February and as this is the first day of Pisces season, the emotional cost of where we are heading will highlighted in some way.
The Sun in Pisces is going to be working with Saturn, who also has the wisdom to look at emotional heartache in Pisces and perhaps make sure we are compassionate and empathetic in our dealings.
The Virgo Full Moon wants all the details and her discernment allows us to cut away anything that is unstable or erratic. We can use her energy to look into our finances the global finances, and do the right thing.
The upcoming solar eclipse on April 8th in Aries further emphasises the themes of personal evolution and future-mindedness.
The conjunction of Venus, Mars, and Pluto in Aquarius from February 20th to 23rd brings a powerful and complementary energy for creative endeavours and community-focused actions.
February ends with a leap year and Venus & Vesta explains how this brings the Tropical astrology in line with the calendar and seasons on earth.

BEST MOMENTS

"I just want to give a shout-out to Aquarius season because it has been quite confusing, utterly expansive and really sort of there's been some powerful shifts going on."

"I mean, really lovely things like my friend's daughter's passed her part driving test theory the first time around. Great, great news. My housemate moved out and that was a big win for me. My friend's husband got a fabulous new job."

"Aquarius is about expanding your mind and moving into the future. But also now in February, all month long, we have the North Node, which is our destiny point, our future point, active all month long."

"Chiron is the master healer - he wants us to heal, obviously, but at first we get triggered and upset, but eventually we've got to understand, we've got to move out of being sorry for ourselves or reacting in an overly emotional way."

"Here is the sun coming up to Saturn for the 27th. So, yeah, look, this is a growing idea. We're going to get peace via guns, but slowly there's going to be more and more politicians, more and more people standing up and saying, no, no, this is the actual cost of the war."

February Stars 2024: Exploring the Mind Expanding Opportunities In Aquarius Season

Fri, 26 Jan 2024 01:00:00 +0100

Venus & Vesta explores the mind expanding opportunities in February, where we have the month long conjunction between the North Node destiny point and Chiron, our wounding... AND the activation of the mind altering powers of the planets moving into Aquarius, and its ruler, Uranus. Venus & Vesta covers everything up to 19th February including:

the personal planets activating the zero degree point of Aquarius, where Pluto sits, thereby giving humanity opportunities to move towards greater understanding of the world, the universe and our place within it.
why the conjunction between the North Node and Chiron could bring us closer to war and more deaths and destruction, which we are highly sensitised to this time around.
the possibility of a re-definition of the diving masculine and what that means for men, since this conjunction occurs in Aries, which also asks for a deeper understanding of why we have incarnated at this time.
when the chaotic thrust of Uranus occurs as it repeatedly gets activated to throw in lightning bolts of consciousness expanding events, to ultimately wake humanity up and perhaps give us the heads up on alien or off-planet life.
Uranus rules Aquarius and the new moon can provide explanations of humanity as multi-dimensional beings, as things can go a little weird around this lunation.

BEST MOMENTS

"This North Node doesn't self-destruct. It's always there, ready to be activated."

"Chiron was actually quite wise and learned... he taught Achilles many things."

"A little poison will cure you, but a big poison will kill you."

"Perhaps we're heading towards the nuclear lightning bolts of Uranus meeting with Jupiter in Taurus."

"We are creator beings and at every moment we are creating ourselves and our lives."

Pluto vs Leo Axis: Embracing Idealism and Opening the Heart

Fri, 19 Jan 2024 01:00:00 +0100

In this episode, Venus and Vesta discusses the powerful Leo full moon and its significance in relation to the recent shift of Pluto into Aquarius. She explores the themes of heart-centeredness, self-love, and the need to bring our desires back to the forefront. Venus and Vesta also delves into the influence of Pluto in different generations and how it has shaped their experiences and karmic lessons. She highlights the importance of understanding where Pluto is in our own birth charts and how it can empower us to evolve. Additionally, she discusses the dynamic aspects of the Leo full moon, and Uranus going direct straight after to help us achieve ideas, projects ad even romance that are closer to our hearts desire.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Venus and Vesta takes us through the Pluto eras, starting with the Baby Boomer Pluto in Leo group where the drama and superstardom of Hollywood excelled and our leaders had too much ego posturing so took us into war.
Continuing the theme of Pluto eras, we look at each sign and what experiences each generation has had and how the power of Pluto at first gives an energetic boost, and then exposes the darker side of the culture it is boosting, and if not handled correctly, will destroy.
Pluto's shift into Aquarius alongside the Sun which is in opposition to the Leo the full moon, highlights the need to balance idealism and success-driven goals with heart-centeredness.
The Leo full moon, square to Jupiter in Taurus, offers an opportunity for love, pleasure, and enhanced self-love, and as Uranus goes direct straight after, it brings a dynamic and potentially chaotic energy, opening up possibilities for surprises, excess, or love at first sight.
As Uranus is direct, All the Planets going Direct Motion (APDM) is a super powered time of easy flow, when there are no blocks to what we want to achieve.

BEST MOMENTS

"Pluto arrives and we just don't get a sense of what it's really giving power to, or only a small sense of that. But then it starts to grow and it's like it's like a poison."

"This is the hazy days of making hay while the sun shines. We have the wind at our back and the road rising to meet us."

"This is really kind of quite a powerful period to get things done, to manifest what you want. And it's a positive drive for you to achieve things, to make things happen for you."

"This is the warning. So there are going to be naysayers within whatever you're doing to excess or enjoying yourself so much. So the naysayers are there."

"And of course, Uranus is while it is throwing thunderbolts. So, yeah, maybe we're glad then of the Mercury-Mars double act that's going on right in the middle of Capricorn to give us the stability here and make things actually happen in a serious way."

Fri, 12 Jan 2024 01:00:00 +0100

Join Venus and Vesta as she talks about the significant shift of Pluto into Aquarius and its implications for the world.

Venus & Vesta explores the hidden workings of Pluto and its karmic influence, the corruption and greed associated with Capricorn, as well as the potential for disclosure of off-planet life forms and the expansion of consciousness in the coming age of Aquarius.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The Sun joins Pluto at the final degree of Capricorn, bringing about the crisis point of Capricorn themes (global government, corporate greed, governing power structures) that need to change.
Pluto's presence in Capricorn for 15 years has given huge powered to global leaders, governments and corporate bodies, and as Pluto rules the underworld, this power ultimately corrupts, working its way like a poison to destroy or cure, but ultimately ensure transformation.
Pluto's shift into Aquarius is a significant shift for humanity, as the dynamic power of Pluto goes back to society, the people, and is set to expand our consciousness and for this to happen, we can expect some incredible event to occur that makes the world sit up and take notice.
The shift into Aquarius represents a new era of expanded consciousness, revolution, and the potential for disclosure of hidden knowledge, including the existence of extraterrestrial life.

BEST MOMENTS

"Pluto is a very much a karmic planet, you are then destined to really evolve and learn and create your own power with this Pluto dynamic."

"Pluto is a chemical and also it's the hidden, it's bioweapons as well, so really these are Pluto's areas."

"This is the death of the old, the traditional, the authoritative, the hierarchy of the Capricorn era, the greed and the corruption."

"This is the second time that Pluto moves into Aquarius and of course it's moving in with the power, the vital force of the Sun really powering up this shift."

BEST MOMENTS

"This Leo full moon is like a reminder for us to really be happy in ourselves, to find our contentment here and to connect to our hearts so that the business stuff doesn't go running off by itself."

Explosive Shifts and Exciting Opportunities: Astrological Forecast for 2024

Fri, 29 Dec 2023 01:00:00 +0100

Venus and Vesta provides a detailed rundown of all the major astrological aspects for the year 2024. The episode begins with a discussion of the impulses of Mercury and Jupiter as they finish their retrogrades and station direct at the start of the year. This is going to set the tone for a motivated and idealistic start. Venus and Vesta then explores the significance of Uranus going direct at the end of January and the period of all planets in direct motion: APDM, highlighting the potential for unchecked progress. This explains why we do need occasional retrograde periods to refine and reconsider. Venus and Vesta stresses the importance of the Pluto return for America and the West, predicting a period of significant change and evolution in 2024. Other notable aspects discussed include the conjunction of Mercury, Mars, and Venus on Pluto, Jupiter ingress Gemini, the lunar eclipse in Libra, and the meeting of the North Node and Chiron, AND Jupiter and Uranus.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The year 2024 will start with a lot of positive energy and motivation, with Mercury and Jupiter both moving direct at the beginning of the year.
The period from the end of January to March will be a time of unchecked progress, with all planets in direct motion: APDM. However, it is important to be aware that this can lead to a lack of proper considerations or discussions.
Pluto's movement into Aquarius in January will bring about a sense of newness and open us up to new experiences and ideas. Pluto in Aquarius gives a gradual process of learning and new understanding for communities and the 'power' of the people.
The American elections in November 2024 will coincide with America's Pluto return, and Pluto sitting on the chaotic degree of Capricorn, marking a significant shift and potential crisis point for the country and the West as a whole.
The year will end with a Mars retrograde in Leo, which will bring about a reduction in power and a refinement of our actions and priorities. This will also coincide with a nodal axis shift into Pisces and Virgo, directing us to tap into our intuition and emotional landscape.

BEST MOMENTS

"And I feel like these two direct impulses, right at the beginning of the year, really allow us to set off with a little bit of pace and a little bit of motivation and with a fresh set of ideals and feeling like, yeah, I can do this. I got this."

"This is when progress happens unchecked. It means it can go forward and there is no reconsideration or, hold on, let me check the facts here. Let me just look again at what is going on. APDM is just flow, like the river flowing straight ahead."

"This is full steam ahead. So it does make you appreciate the retrograde periods because that's when you go inwards. That's when you kind of can observe things from a different angle perspective and really get a sense check before just steaming ahead."

"And I do feel it is the expansion of our whole idea of who we are as a people. That's February."

"This could be our governments showing we have made contact with non-Earth species. This could be the disclosure that we have been waiting for."

Exploring the Christ Codes Embedded in Christmas and the Solstice

Fri, 22 Dec 2023 01:00:00 +0100

Venus and Vesta explores the significance of the solstice and Christmas in relation to astrology and humanity's spiritual evolution. Since it is now solstice, the episode delves into the differences between tropical and Vedic astrology, as they related to the sun positions from earth's perspective OR the position of the stars and constellations, highlighting their relevance and perspectives.

Venus and Vesta also discusses the concept of the 12 Holy Nights and how they correspond to the 12 stages of earthly consciousness, leading towards the Christ consciousness. The episode offers insights into the evolution of humanity and the role of astrology in understanding our spiritual journey.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The solstice in the Northern Hemisphere marks the shortest day and celebrated at key ancient sites where the loss of light is felt profoundly, in comparison to the Southern Hemisphere, where they are experiencing the longest day and summer.
There are two systems of astrology: tropical astrology, which stays with the equinoxes and the sun's journey, and Vedic astrology, which moves with the actual positioning of the stars and constellations.
The 12 days of Christmas, the '12 Holy Nights' represent the 12 stages of earthly evolution that are embedded in the zodiac signs, and draw us closer towards Christ Consciousness, where in a future stage, humans become the 10th spiritual hierarchy (in the angelic realm).
The 12 Holy Nights meditative initiations provide a process to connect with the Christ Codes and bring a deeper meaning to Christmas beyond materialism.

BEST MOMENTS

"Vedic astrology, as you may know, is 24 degrees roughly behind tropical astrology. So there are two systems and they're both relevant."

"The 12 days in between these two festivals, Christmas Day and Epiphany, 6th of January, these are the 12 stages of earthly consciousness, which evolve us slowly each day towards the Christ Consciousness, to much higher understanding."

"The angels are closest to Aquarius and the future human and this is why they're here to help us and that's why Aquarius is the water carrier, because it's water, the angelic realm."

"And I wish you all a fantastic solstice and a beautiful return of the light for your own Christmas."

Fri, 15 Dec 2023 01:00:00 +0100

Venus & Vesta discusses the astrological influences and energetic shifts happening in the second half of December 2023. The episode explores the concept of consciousness expansion and the potential split between those who are ready to embrace a new reality and those who are still bound by karmic patterns. Venus & Vesta also delves into the disruptive energies of Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Neptune, highlighting their role in deconstructing old paradigms and paving the way for a new paradigm to emerge. The episode concludes with a hopeful outlook for the future, emphasising the positive shifts brought about by Jupiter's direct motion and the potential for growth and creativity in the coming year.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The second half of December 2023 is marked by a sense of interdimensional travel and conscious messaging, with Neptune turning direct and opening up a portal for expanded consciousness.
There is a perceived split in Earth's consciousness, with some individuals choosing to stay in a dense reality focused on karmic issues, while others seek to expand and grow into higher dimensions.
The planetary aspects of Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Neptune in the second half of December bring disruption and deconstruction of old ideas and situations that cannot exist in the new paradigm.
The Sun's trine to the North Node on December 14th encourages a positive blast of enthusiasm and a focus on personal endeavors and taking responsibility for one's own future.
The full moon in Cancer on December 27th, along with Jupiter turning direct on December 30th, brings a shift towards growth, expansion, and positive change, both personally and potentially on a global scale.

BEST MOMENTS

"It felt like there was this portal being opened up for interdimensional travel and thought and sort of conscious messaging."

"There's these ideas sort of shifting around that we are moving anyway in that way but just recently I've heard people talk about it in a much more proper way."

"Let's see what is going to happen, but I doubt it would happen in the way those preppers are expecting. But who am I? I'm open to suggestions."

"This is like a burst of enthusiasm to get straight to the point. Straight cut through all the layers of ideas, themes, issues and just go straight there."

"So all that lovely planning of gorgeous Christmas Day with everyone coming together, it could all go out the window. But it's not necessarily bad. In fact, it could lead to so much merriment."

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The Mercury retrograde in Capricorn, starting on December 13th, will bring opportunities for discovery, gathering information, and resetting one's direction in areas such as career, life goals, authority, family ancestry, and finance.
The Mercury retrograde is part of a larger pattern that has occurred in Capricorn in the past, often coinciding with economic downturns and recessions. This suggests that there may be significant shifts and reorganisations in the global financial landscape during this period.
The Mercury retrograde is not to be feared, but rather seen as an opportunity for positive change and progress. It is a time to tap into intuitive and creative thinking, and to work on imaginative ideas and plans.
The period from December 18th to December 22nd is particularly favorable, with a trine between Mercury and Jupiter in earth signs, indicating potential for wealth creation, positive shifts in financial matters, and the activation of creative ideas.
The Mercury retrograde ends on January 2nd, 2024, with Mercury stationing direct in Sagittarius. This marks a time of forward movement, progress, and the potential for personal endeavors and ego-driven ideas to come to fruition. It is a time to take action and create something incredible for oneself.

BEST MOMENTS

"Mercury retrograde goes right the way through Christmas into the new year but does start on Wednesday, which is Mercury Day actually, Wednesday the 13th of December."

"This isn't just a small shift. This goes much deeper because this is Capricorn. It relates to the biggest structures of our life, not just our personal stuff."

"So this is like your eureka moment, your light bulb moment, when career ideas, you know, the road ahead is sparked up with new interest or a fabulous new client, you know, ideas and information to make wealth."

"So, yeah, bigger than ourselves and as much as my favourite phrase is about retrogrades is don't fear the retrograde and in my head this is the blue oyster cult."

"So, yeah, don't fear the Reaper here. The Reaper, that is Mercury retrograde."

KEY TAKEAWAYS

How the last 24 hours of Christ’s life are reflected in the House system to give us blueprints for our soul development.
Why the astrological Houses are our individualised ego and personal expression, enabling us to experience life on earth in a unique way to others.

Each house has a more traditional meaning as well as a soul aligned purpose with esoteric astrological principles

"The zodiac is embedded in Easter and the last 24 hours of Jesus, each hour relates to the houses in a horoscope chart."

"The lowest level of your spiritual body is the Buddhic part, that is projected onto Earth. That's the Buddhic part."

"The Christ codes enable us to get there. These are the highest codes of light that we can work with, to draw down on, to magnetise and to connect with."

Powerful Revelations and Political Manoeuvres: A Deep Dive into the First Two Weeks of December

Fri, 24 Nov 2023 01:00:00 +0100

Venus and Vesta discusses the astrological influences of the first two weeks of December. The episode begins by reflecting on the powerful effects of the Sun conjunct Mars in Scorpio and its opposition to Uranus in Taurus, which has brought deep introspection and revelations to the surface. The host also delves into the intriguing political manoeuvres happening in the UK, particularly the unexpected return of ex-prime minister David Cameron to the UK parliament seemingly out of nowhere, but showing how the Scorpio depths can operate. The episode then explores the upcoming astrological events, including Mercury's move into Capricorn, Neptune turning direct, and the new moon in Sagittarius. Venus and Vesta highlights the energetic and transformative nature of these celestial events, offering insights into their potential impact on personal and collective consciousness.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

December starts with a lot more enthusiastic, lighter energy, which may even help us make some money - Mercury moves into success orientated Capricorn ready for Mercury Retrograde which may enable us to 'cook the books' and make plans for serious wealth.
Neptune turning direct in Pisces brings a shift in consciousness and a deeper understanding of the holographic reality and interconnectedness of all things. Is this the dimensional shift we have been waiting for?
Mercury in Sagittarius has been blurting things out and bringing attention to the chaotic shifts happening in the political landscape, such as the unexpected return of David Cameron to the UK parliament. Mercury turning retrograde in Capricorn adds a twist of unexpected information and challenges to decision-making.
Venus moving into Scorpio adds a soothing and magical touch to the shadow work and underhand manoeuvres happening, making them more palatable and appealing.
The new moon in Sagittarius, conjunct Mars, brings a surge of enthusiasm and energy to pursue dreams and ideals, No more digging deep into Scorpio depths, this is the fresh air we need to move forward.

BEST MOMENTS

"And coming to the surface, because first of all, Mercury is in Sagittarius and Mercury, of course, just cannot but blurt things out."

"They've just like slot him in. They've got rid of Suella Braverman, who actually was just telling the truth, and then has actually called our Prime Minister out on a number of things. Good for her."

"And there comes Sir David, newly ennobled Sir David Cameron comes into the House of Lords and then name checks a completely unelected body. This is kind of cronyism and, you know, replacing someone in a position in a very, very obvious way."

"So there's a lot of energy here to explore and upgrade the vision of possibilities to happen, you know, that can happen in the next two years even."

"And suddenly, whoa, things start to fall into place. And that's to say, you know, Mercury retrograding through Capricorn. Well, I will save a lot of this for the next episode."

Exploring the Transformative Power of an Extended Scorpio Season

Fri, 17 Nov 2023 01:00:00 +0100

This episode provides all the aspects in the run up to the end of November. Venus and Vesta discusses the recent Scorpio new moon and its strong impact on her personal health, as it ideally demonstrates the digging deep into the immune (the non-physical) via Scorpio and bringing out a very physical rash with Uranus in Taurus. Venus and Vesta continues to explore the powerful influence of the Sun and Mars in Scorpio, and how this pair are acting like the hounds of hell, with a scorch earth policy. The fact that Mercury, the thinking communication planet is already in Sagittarius has enabled us to see some of the hidden truths (dug up by Scorpio) used as justification for war on a global scale.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The continuation of Scorpio revelations of the sub-conscious and the hidden as the Sun and Mars move through Scorpio together. And because Uranus is opposite in an earth sign, it is allowing very real and physical manifestations of the sub-conscious to be revealed and expressed.
The Sun moves in to Sagittarius but the enthusiasm of this fire sign must be curtailed as the Sun makes a square to Saturn in Pisces, delivering a more sobering, restrictive effect. The Mars follows into Sagittarius swiftly and we must use this opportunity to go for our goals.
Mercury steps into the shadow zone of his upcoming retrograde that starts in Capricorn and moves back into 22’ Sagittarius, be careful what you speak for the Gods might hear you.
The Full Moon in Gemini is bound to deliver some 'Eureka!' moments so watch out for major news or some exciting connections, but do remember the duality behind Gemini does need considering as Venus & Vesta explains how the sub-conscious realm will merge with the conscious in a future stage of humanity.
Venus moves across the eclipse point and then the South Node (representing our past) in Libra, and enlivens any past relationship issues, offering an opportunity for karmic relationships and partnerships to be rebalanced and healed, particularly in the context of Palestine and Israel. It encourages us to learn from past experiences and strive for peaceful resolutions. and hopefully enables a far reaching and new style equilibrium and long lasting harmony.

BEST MOMENTS

"This new moon in Scorpio was on my own moon and it was on my own South Node and Neptune, which were in a tight bunch."

"We're going to be aware that they're trying to pull a fast one... We're going to see it. It's so Scorpionic."

"It's quite a powerful shift when these two planets, Sun and Mars, move into Sagittarius because of these other aspects."

"We are absolutely in for some surprises... It's going to be much more prevalent in humans when these dimensional shifts occur."

"Venus sitting here on this eclipse point and then on the south node is like a soothing balm on the burnt, the ravaged and exposed places of relationships."

Fri, 10 Nov 2023 01:00:00 +0100

In this episode of the Venus and Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, the focus is on the Scorpio new moon and the deep subconscious themes it brings to the surface. This is an extended Scorpio season which started when Mars went into Scorpio on 12th October and now a month later we have the Scorpio New Moon. But this isn’t any Scorpio New Moon as Venus & Vesta explains…Mars sits right next to the lunation, giving it powerful energy and driving deep divides into the shadowlands of the underworld.

The episode also touches on the opposition between Taurus and Scorpio, representing the manifest and unmanifest aspects of life. Scorpio represents the unmanifest world, everything that is mysterious or unseen and according to the major esoteric traditions, the unseen world is teeming with life. This New Moon is ready to take us into the shadow and enable us to better perceive these otherworldly energies. Venus and Vesta also discusses the idea of a living spirit within all things and the expansion of consciousness beyond our current five senses. She explains how the current earth globe is ready to shift and take humanity closer to spirit with the New Moon is set to make this happen.

The new moon in Scorpio, conjunct Mars and opposite Uranus, holds the potential for deep transformation and healing, both on a personal level and on a larger scale, such as in the case of Israel and its potential for change and evolution. Venus & Vesta takes a close look at the chart of Israel and how this New Moon could be incredibly healing but also cataclysmic.

BEST MOMENTS

"This is Scorpio territory, all of it, the stuff we cannot really perceive readily with our five senses."

"The current time on Earth brings profound changes within all the dimensional levels and at an accelerating pace."

"This new moon isn't any old Scorpio new moon. This has got Mars next to it, giving extra energy to whatever work you're going to be doing."

"This is like a blast of electrifying dynamite right there going, come on. And creating really deep shifts that are totally unheard of."

"War is never the answer and killing all those people are not going to make any land any safer at all."

Reconnecting with Nature: Embracing the Sacred in Virgo

Fri, 03 Nov 2023 01:00:00 +0100

Venus and Vesta delves into the significance of the kite aspect in astrology. The kite formation consists of Neptune in Pisces at the top, with Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus on either side. This aspect represents a push towards deeper consciousness and a dimensional shift. Venus & Vesta explores the themes of surrender, magic, and transcendence associated with Neptune in Pisces, as well as the importance of reconnecting with nature and the divine feminine represented by the opposite position (and tail of the kite), Venus in Virgo.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The kite formation in astrology, with Neptune in Pisces at the top, is pushing us to go deeper into new areas of our consciousness and therefore becoming aware of narratives that shape our lives and society.

Neptune in Pisces represents the dissolution of boundaries and the potential for surrender and transcendence, while the opposition position held by Virgo highlights the need for discernment and awareness of the narratives that influence us.
The tail of the kite, represented by the last decan of Virgo, emphasises the importance of diligence, dedication, and connection to nature to procress and experience spiritual growth.
The reconnection with the sacred feminine and the balance between the masculine and feminine energies are crucial for the world to move into equilibrium and for individuals to experience personal growth and fulfilment.

BEST MOMENTS

"Neptune in Pisces is really there drawing us deeper and deeper into the program, the matrix, the whole consciousness that is running our lives and our society right now."

"There's a completely fabricated war going on right now... Pluto in Capricorn, the toxicity and the power that's going on in the corporate world."

"Neptune in Pisces dissolves our kind of connection or awareness or attachment to the manifest world... We are in a dimensional shift right now."

"The feminine needs to rise to her full power once more... The world can only return to equilibrium if both the masculine and feminine are in divine union once more.

"Juno's presence here in Virgo is going to bring much more ideas about being discerning within relationships... to work on the correct polarity or the equilibrium of the sexes.

November's Energetic Potency: Insights Between the Eclipses

Fri, 27 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0100

Venus & Vesta outlines the energies still with us from eclipse season and the Solar and Lunar eclipses, as well as the aspects for the first two weeks of November, up to the New Moon in Scorpio on 13th November.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The Pluto in Libra generation (those born between 1971 - 1984) will be feeling the effects of the Solar Eclipse and perhaps being forced to recognise their own need for ideals within relationships that might not be sustainable. They gained real power via attracting and maintaining perfect relationships and may now feel some of they dream goals dissolve to reveal the reality of relating.
The Lunar Eclipse in Taurus is inviting us to really feel what is going on with our bodies, and take ownership of all things that enter it. This includes food, medicine, electro-magnetic frequencies, as Venus & Vesta explains how this eclipse and the Jupiter Uranus duo in Taurus are bringing Mother Earth and everything we do to her (good and bad) into focus.
Venus & Vesta highlights two kites that are aspecting right now, drawing us into a new reality with Neptune's magnetic pull, but also providing us with hidden information that needs to be exposed with Mercury in Scorpio.
The Scoprii New Moon on 13th November is conjunct angry Mars, and this could act as a trigger point for unresolved issues, dark misgivings and the deep sub-conscious programming. It could also be a trigger for Israel to realise the pain they are holding within their psyche, since it sits on Israel's Chiron - the Wounded Healer. So we are hoping for peace in all these war situations.

BEST MOMENTS

"This eclipse must surely be affecting the Pluto in Libra generation more than other people around."

"We've got to be gentle with each other. People are dealing with big stuff."

"Pluto in Libra generation really wanted the picket fence, the 2.6 kids family, and the whole picket fence thing was large for them."

"This is a massive wake-up call, a surge of Taurean energy that we have to get to grips with in this eclipse."

"Let's be gentle with each other. We don't know what others are going through."

The Astrological Influence on Russell Brand's Addictions and Self-Destructive Behavior

Thu, 21 Sep 2023 23:00:00 +0100

Venus & Vesta discusses the astrology of Russell Brand amidst the recent controversies surrounding him. She examines his natal chart, exploring the factors that may contribute to his fame, self-proclaimed addictions, and current public scrutiny. Venus & Vesta also discusses the concept of extreme behaviour in astrology and the potential influence of transits, progressed charts, and external factors on an individual's chart. She touches on the idea of entity possession and its possible connection to Brand's more unconscious activity. Additionally, she explores the intersection of astrology and homeopathy, discussing the influence of disease traits on behaviour. The episode concludes with a discussion on the power dynamics within the media and government, and the potential implications of the current situation for Brand's future.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Russell Brand is a Capricorn Ascendant, indicating his ability to operate within large structures and organisations, despite his chaotic and unpredictable persona.
The enclosed nature of his 12th house completely by Capricorn suggests a subconscious drive for career success and a potential vulnerability to mind control or manipulation by huge corporate structures.
Russell Brand's chart also indicates a susceptibility to addiction, with two of the five homeopathic, miasms, representing excess and self-destructive disease traits. These are associated with the water and fire miasms, which relate to the Five Element theory in Chinese medicine.
The current transit of Pluto in Capricorn, particularly its conjunction with Russell's ascendant and opposition to his Venus, is bringing his actions and behavior into the public eye and potentially leading to the Pluto 'death' with the chance then, for rebirth in the shape of redemption.
Russell Brand's chart also suggests a potential for redemption and spiritual growth, with his natal MC, North Node and Neptune in Sagittarius. However, the presence of entities or entity possession is also indicated by the experiences described by some individuals where they mention his eyes turning black and having a distant unconscious look to him.

BEST MOMENTS

"What makes someone become so notoriously, you know, what makes that suddenly star just completely burn itself out?"

"There has to be some keys that really turn some of the planets on and then really don't turn them off."

"Most addicts will have two of those miasms. It'll either be the self-destruct one, which is the fire… or there's the one that's actually quite destructive."

"He's becoming a leader of sorts. I don't think, if he didn't have that Capricorn Ascendant, there's no way he would have got those big jobs in big organisations."

Good Girls In The Cosmos

Thu, 14 Sep 2023 23:00:00 +0100

Last week Venus & Vesta looked at the long-term (three months) aspect between Eris and the NorthNode, and then we discover that the new Covid variant is called Eris, which has to be astrologically significant. So this week Vnus & Vesta looks at another long-term aspect, exploring the influence of Juno, the marriage broker, and its conjunction with Venus in Leo lasting for three weeks. Due to the Virgo Sun and Mercury moving direct as well, this episode highlights the importance of discernment, self-belief, and healing in relationships, while also addressing the challenges and opportunities presented by the square between Venus, Juno, and Uranus.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Venus & Vesta discusses the significance of the dwarf planet Eris and its connection to the current COVID variant named Eris. This highlights the relevance of astrology and the importance of dwarf planets and asteroids in astrological interpretations.
Juno, the queen of the Romans and the wife of Jupiter, is mentioned as a symbol of love, marriage, and long-term relationships. The combination of Juno and Venus in Leo is seen as beneficial for relationships and healing past relationship issues.
The Virgo New Moon and Mercury going direct in Virgo emphasise the importance of discernment, self-improvement, and setting intentions for personal efforts. It is a time to reset and align thoughts and behaviours towards productive and meaningful habits.
The kite formation in astrology, with the New Moon in Virgo at the bottom and Neptune in Pisces at the top, represents the need to balance discernment and productivity with the potential for being lost in the program or dissolving boundaries. It is a reminder to stay focused and maintain healthy habits amidst the vastness of information and distractions.
The upcoming square between Venus, Juno, and Uranus indicates a time of potential relationship debates and sparks flying. It is an opportunity for growth, evolution, and speaking out, while also maintaining sovereignty and rising above petty squabbles. The equinox, occurring during this time, symbolizes harmony and balance, making it a suitable period for meditation and maintaining inner equilibrium.

BEST MOMENTS

"Last episode we were focused on Eris, the dwarf planet Eris, who I found quite intriguing and she is now conjunct at the North Node for three months… So it was amazing that I then found out and you probably know already that the next COVID variant is called Eris."

"Juno is the queen of the Romans… She equates to Hera in Greek mythology… She represents love, marriage, long-term relationships, and childbirth."

"This combination of Juno and Venus is good for relationships right now… It's good for healing all kinds of past relationships… It's a good time to do that kind of work and understand where you're acting from within the relationship or potential relationship."

"The Virgo New Moon is a good time to set your dedications, dedications to your own personal efforts… Reset your resolve for the tiny habits that make up your day… Add meaning to those tiny habits so that they become ritualistic and more sacred."

"The square between Venus, Juno, and Uranus is quite combustible… Sparks can fly here… It's a time for action, for speaking out, for really coming to terms with these things."

Eris and the North Node: A Three-Month Intense Aspect

Thu, 07 Sep 2023 23:00:00 +0100

Venus & Vesta delves into the significance of the asteroid Eris and its long-standing aspect with the North Node. Eris, known for her audacity and ability to ignite strife, is currently conjunct the North Node in Aries for a three-month period. This intense aspect raises important questions about societal inequality, vanity, and the absurdity of certain beliefs.

Venus & Vesta also explores the role of the asteroid Juno, the marriage broker, which is closely aligned with Venus during its retrograde period. This alignment prompts a deep examination of relationships, both with others and with oneself.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Eris, the asteroid of discord and strife, is currently conjunct the North Node in Aries for the entire month of September. This long-standing aspect brings intensity and challenges, potentially leading to the questioning of societal norms and the highlighting of inequality and absurdity.
Eris's audacity and ability to ask crucial questions can inspire individuals to ask important and challenging questions in their own lives and in society.
The conjunction of Venus and Juno in Leo throughout September signifies a focus on relationships, both romantic and with yourself. This is a time for introspection and growth in personal connections.
Eris's discovery in 2005 caused strife and controversy, as it led to the questioning of Pluto's status as a planet. Eris's eccentric orbit and distance from the sun make it a significant and intense celestial body.
The discovery of Eris and Juno in specific zodiac signs (Aries and Leo, respectively) during their respective discoveries adds an intriguing synchronicity to their current positions in the sky. This highlights the interconnectedness of celestial events and our lives.

BEST MOMENTS

"This long-standing pairing is really getting ready for when the north node moves on and she does start to move away from the pairing in December."

"This is the nodal return for Eris, so this is an important time for her because she is now getting a second uplift."

"Venus went direct on the 4th of September, Juno at that time was two degrees behind her at 10 degrees."

This episode explores the themes of power, patriarchy, capitalism, and the need for a heart-centred awakening. Venus & Vesta also delves into the upcoming shift into Virgo season and the conjunction of Mercury Retrograde with Mars and Pallas Athena, forming a kite formation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

A Yod formation is created by Venus Retrograde Point, with Pluto and Neptune. This Yod is a significant astrological event that points to a specific area of focus and potential action.
The Sun's passage through the 28 degrees Leo point, which is the focus of the Yod, reignites the themes of Venus Retrograde and highlights the need for a heart-centred awakening and expansion.
The influence of Mercury Retrograde in Virgo brings a shift in mental gears and a need for attention to detail, due diligence, and a review of communication and information.
The kite formation created by Mercury Retrograde, Mars, and Pallas Athena in Virgo, with Neptune in Pisces as the focus, emphasizes the need to get our facts right, avoid delusion, and empower ourselves in the face of external influences.
The retrograde motion of multiple planets, including Venus, Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, and Mercury, indicates a period of introspection, review, and potential shifts in various areas of life, including relationships, career, health, and spirituality. It is a time to dig deeper, reassess, and make necessary adjustments.

BEST MOMENTS

"This 28 degrees Leo point is kind of primed for action."

"Pluto in Capricorn represents the patriarchy and the power, the big greed of the corporates."

"Neptune in Pisces shows where we are lost or where we have given ourselves up."

"Jupiter and Uranus want us to feel into our bodies more, to get into our natural habitat, our natural physical urges and feelings."

Venus Cazimi and Leo New Moon: A Magical Week in Astrology

Fri, 11 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0100

Venus & Vesta discusses the upcoming astrological aspects that promise a week of excitement and transformation. The focus is on the Venus cazimi in Leo and the Leo New Moon, both of which offer opportunities for heart opening, fulfilling desires, and even love at first sight. Venus & Vesta delves into the significance of the cazimi aspect, explaining its connection to Mercury and Venus and the enhanced energy they receive when in front of the Sun. They also explore the concept of the cazimi, combust, and under the sunbeams, shedding light on their effects on planetary energy. The episode concludes with a discussion on the power of the Leo New Moon and its alignment with Uranus, Mars, and Neptune, offering listeners a chance to tap into their heart's desires and manifest their dreams.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The Venus cazimi in Leo and the Leo New Moon are powerful aspects that offer the opportunity for massive heart opening, achieving desires, and even love at first sight.
The cazimi aspect occurs when a planet, specifically Mercury or Venus, comes between the Sun and Earth, enhancing its energy and influence.
The cazimi aspect is believed to have a significant impact on matters related to the planet involved, such as communication and thinking for Mercury, and affairs of the heart and beauty for Venus.
The Leo New Moon, occurring at 23 degrees Leo, is a time to ignite passions, focus on self-love, and manifest desires from the heart.
The Leo New Moon is square to Uranus in Taurus, creating an electrifying and thrilling energy that can bring unexpected opportunities and awakenings.

BEST MOMENTS

"This is the heart burst fire, it's the fire blazing of our hearts, it's practically open heart surgery, like just open my heart and see what's inside."

"This is the quickening, not the quickening that you have in pregnancy when the fetus suddenly becomes animated, but the quickening that you get in the film Highlander when suddenly the power drops into him, he's aligned in the right position and the power comes down."

"This is the day to sit in meditation, open up your chakras, definitely stay grounded, imagine that you are receiving this heart energy that your heart needs, and think of your best fantasy, think of your heartfelt wishes and desires."

"This is the rumble in the jungle, the thunder of hooves coming from Taurus, the hooves are coming that can drum up the excitement, you can feel the earth shaking, it's like wow, what's going on, what is happening, there is something really big afoot here."

"Thank the moon for giving it to you, thank you seven times to each of those things, really feeling it like you've already got it, it's happened, yeah yeah yeah."

Asteroids In Venus

Thu, 03 Aug 2023 23:00:00 +0100

Pallas Athena, Lilith, Juno and Circe are all involved in the Venus Retrograde in Leo happening right now until the end of September. Three of these are asteroids, but how did the asteroids get there and what are their stories? Venus & Vesta outlines how the asteroids were formed and why the telling of their tales is important to our karmic evolution.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The asteroid belt holds a place in the planetary alignment (where there should be a planet) to keep in the Titius-Bode theory of each planet being twice the distance of the next planet from the Sun.
The first asteroid to be discovered in 1801 is Ceres who is the Corn Goddess in charge of the harvest, and providing nourishment (or not), since she relies on a harvest which isn’t always available.
The asteroid belt was formed mid-Lemuria at around the time of The Fall, when Adam took the bite of the apple and opened humanity up to sin, the duality construct and karma.
The missing planet is referred to as Maldek, Phaeton or even Tiamat, written about in the Sumerian tablets, which was exploded apart by the Annunaki on planet Niburu, the theorised 12th planet.

BEST MOMENTS
‘When I was a kid my Dad and my Mum would say: “your voice is terrible”, even now my Dad is still playing that song, so when I read Madeline Miller’s book ‘Circe’ who was told the same thing by her parents who were Gods, I really got her.’
‘Asteroids are uniquely connected to our personal karmic stories.’
‘The asteroids are all mainly female stories – domestic, relationships and dharma. Is that because the astronomers who found them have given them female names because the planets (apart from Venus) are all male – Mercury is androgynous, but we still call him ‘he’ – and they are ‘less than important’.’
‘There’s a Steiner-based theory that every night in our sleep our etheric body goes to the earth to be re-energised and our astral body goes up through the planets, back to Saturn.’

August 2023 Stars

Fri, 28 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0100

There are two full moons book-marking each end of August and in between some thrilling aspects and a fortnight when all the planets are in retrograde. In this episode Venus & Vesta takes us through the key activity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

A Full Moon in Aquarius happens on the first day of August. All of us are in the middle of a heart-opening Venus retrograde in Leo, so to have a full Moon in Aquarius (Leo’s opposite sign) it should take us out of our navel/heart-gazing and look at the community around us, beyond ourselves into the Aquarian age.
At the same time, Mars is in Virgo and in trine to Jupiter in Taurus who is making the square to the Full Moon. Jupiter in Taurus want truth, steadiness, lending support and expanding on those ideas to really be truthful and honest, whereas Mars in Virgo really wants to cut through every layer of bullshit and get to what the point is. These and other aspects make it more important for us to activate discernment and say “no”. It’s always more important what you say no to than what you say yes to.
Suddenly we get two big whammies of “yes” like in When Harry Met Sally, but to ruin that, on the 13th we have a Venus Cazimi, which is a great day to fall in love, to meet someone and open your heart, or to wake up to what’s really going on in your heart. It’s amazing. This is followed on the 16th by the Leo New Moon which opens the heart for its deepest desires.
On the 21st August the Yod (the finger of god) pointing at 28’ Leo is activated when the Sun arrives at this point. This is the degree that Venus got to and retrograded back from and is also the degree of the great American eclipse in 2017. Venus is already activated and will return to this point at the end of her retrograde period. This may show us where we’ve been imprisoned to some idea or ideology either personally or on a global scale.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I haven’t seen anything in the news recently that’s made me think: “This is the result of what is going on with the planets.”’
‘The Full Moon is always the opposition of the Moon and the Sun, so therefore there’s always a paradox in the Full Moon which makes it more complicated/dramatic than the New Moon is, when the Sun and the Moon come together.’
‘It’s not just earthly matters that are going to concern us here, there’s something other-worldly happening through the first few weeks of August and beyond.’
‘Mercury AND Uranus going retrograde make it seven planets in backwards motion and a time to reconsider, reflect, reevaluate and go on your inner journey rather than outward action.’

Venus Goes Retrograde

Thu, 20 Jul 2023 23:00:00 +0100

If you are worried about Venus going retrograde through Leo, look no further. Venus & Vesta explains how we can realign to our heart’s desires throughout this retrograde period. Venus represents our values and how we see beauty, or become beautiful and magnetic. Whilst Leo represents the heart and the warmth we emit to others. This Venus Retrograde is the perfect time to become conscious of what energies you are emitting since your vibe will attract your tribe, and in true Leo style, you want to act like you already have everything.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Venus makes a Grand Fire Trine with the North Node in Aries and asteroid Circe in Sagittarius, igniting the magic of passion with real fire.
Venus is at the head of an unusual You aspect, which means ’the finger of God’ is pointing at Venus as she turns retrograde, bringing intensity and magical possibilities to the planet of LOVE.
Venus retrogrades from 28’ Leo, which is where the Great American Eclipse occurred in August 2017, so this retrograde may invite you to re-evaluate situations that were going on then, or what started at that time.
Venus in Leo wants you to enhance the heart energy in all your processes, habits and appearances. And whilst in retrograde, you get to reconsider if you want an upgrade for your heart.

BEST MOMENTS
‘As Venus is retrograding Leo, we can expect a reconsideration of past romances, and perhaps an ex-partner may walk through the door.’
‘Mercury was in quite a powerful position to get these two stars (Wham!) to sign on the dotted line and basically give all their power, all their skills, and their livelihood away to the record company… Just imagine if they’d had an astrologer with them.’
‘We can only love somebody if we love ourselves. How much can we love ourselves? How much goodness can we give to ourselves so that we can then reflect?’
‘The idea here is to get to a place where you’re honestly loving life, achieving what you want, wearing your own crown, you’re happy wearing it, and you’re happy having those people around you: be warm, be happy.’

Aries North Node, Part 2

Fri, 14 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0100

As a continuation of everything that it means for the North Node moving into Aries, this is part two and Venus & Vesta explains how Aries will affect mankind and our consciousness.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The Zodiac takes you through the life of a man. Pisces is the death and Aries is the birth. Aries is actually representative of the incarnation of mankind and the focus will increase around why we are here and what is our purpose.
Aries is the ego as it incarnates with a mission and indicative of our soul’s purpose which is imprinted as an 'iron will' in our blood when we take our first breath and provides the blueprint for the astrology chart.
An incarnating soul needs heat, the fever from illness, to properly draw in the soul and its ego, and these are all Aries themes, which will play out for us individually and as a community as we understand more fully how we are all connected as ‘one’.
The incarnation of mankind in this current earth era is an in-breath, taking us all the way to the densest point at Golgotha, and an out breath which we are currently experiencing as we loosen out ties to our etheric body from our physical body.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Aries is the baby of the zodiac and Aries natives want their needs met and know how to get their needs met quite dynamically. It could come across as selfish, and it is initially, but it’s not for a selfish end.’
‘On an individual level perhaps we will be dealing with our birth issues or how birth is processed within the medical system and with women, as well as on a mankind level.’
‘Through mummification the Egyptians were drawing the soul and keeping it tethered to Earth and keep it interested in Earth.’
‘As we are loosening our effect with the etheric we’re going to have less energy but we’ll become much more sensitive to spirit.’

Aries North Node

Thu, 06 Jul 2023 23:00:00 +0100

The North Node, the destiny point, is moving into Aries after 18 months in Taurus. Venus & Vesta outlines what the North and South Node represent in our charts, and what effect they have when they go through the signs and what is in store for the Aries North Node.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The North Node and South Node are changing signs, they are moving from the Scorpio/Taurus axis to the Libra/Aries axis on 17th September for 18 months to January 2025.
We’ve been experiencing a particularly strong North Node activation in Taurus as planet Uranus is also there, electrifying planet earth with its chaotic energy.
The North Node meets Chrion halfway through the journey in Aries, and this will augment the idea that we have to take care of our own mental health, our own happiness and take more responsibility for our own healing, and make it specific to us, rather than the pharmaceuticals for all.
Wherever the North Node is, the South Node will be opposite, so we have some lessons to learn from the sign opposite Aries which is Libra, perhaps these lessons are about relationships and equality.

BEST MOMENTS
‘I get excited about the Nodes because I feel like they’re the fourth most important thing when we’re reading an astrology chart as well as your Sun sign, Moon sign, and Rising sign.’
‘The Nodes are two points on a pathway where the Moon travels around the Earth not on the ecliptic. When the Moon comes up across this imaginary. Horizontal line, that is the North Node and vice versa.’
‘The North Node is the point in your chart that is a mission statement, a mission for you should you choose to accept it whereas South Node is a real pull for the comfort zone.’
‘Aries is about your identity and who you are and how you self-identify. Of course, in the digital world, you have to put your profile forward but it’s so easy to have your identity stolen. We’re now going to see issues around your digital identity and the problems that that causes because Aries will want to self- actualise.’

July 2023 Stars

Thu, 29 Jun 2023 23:00:00 +0100

July 2023 is a month to check in with your dreams and to see whether this matches up with your heart’s frequency.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Neptune goes retrograde on 1st July, and this means we should look to what we are dreaming, and where we may have lost ourselves to bring about a realignment with the quantum field of opportunity. The Capricorn Full Moon that follows will enable us to put our dreams into action, with real attainable goals, far greater than we can imagine.
The North Node destiny point moves into Aries and this represents a massive boost to bringing about any expression of your ego and ideals, starting up your business or making a move, even if it is risky. We have 18 months of this ‘just do it’ energy.
There is an intense t-square on 22nd where the Sun in Cancer, opposes Pluto in Capricorn and both square to the North Node newly in Aries at the 29’ point - which is where we had the solar eclipse earlier in the year. As this is explosive energy, we could see the war in Ukraine or elsewhere go to new levels of antagonism.
Venus goes retrograde in Leo on 23rd, bringing about an examination of our hearts, its pains, sorrows and desires. Venus Retrograde has a high chance of bringing back exes into the frame, and these arrive for us to understand our part in what went wrong, and how we might behave differently next time - or simply to let go of this story (or re-ignite it of course).

BEST MOMENTS
‘Neptune rules the sea, which is completely unfathomable and unreachable by modern man. As the Titan submarine was taking those five guys down to the wreck of the Titanic, Neptune was stationing and was square to the Sun in Gemini. This square is full of trickery, lots of communication and ideas, and short journeys. This was really bad astrology for that submarine to go down.’
‘The US Navy knew already on the Monday after they lost contact that the submersible had imploded, so why weren’t we told that straight away? Why weren’t we told until Thursday that this had happened? It's so Neptunian to put this façade out by the world’s media. Is there some bigger story going on here?’
‘During the same week JP Morgan and Jeffery Epstein’s emails were released (47 million emails). They must have been having a lot of conversations. Then, JP Morgan “lost” them, they were “mistakenly deleted”. How can you mistakenly delete 47 million emails?! What are they hiding? This is even more Neptunian.’
‘Getting away from the ocean, there’s also the idea that we could be getting lost in tech: Deep fakes, AI, the deception and illusion that we’re creating. Some of us need to realise this and during the retrograde understand why we’re losing half our day scrolling through the internet.’

Crazy Sexy Magical Week

Thu, 22 Jun 2023 23:00:00 +0100

The week of the solstice gave us Mars driving up to Lilith and now leaves Venus with Lilith which is like the first and the second wives meeting together. This surely has to be an upgrade for the naive and innocent second wife, who is Venus, now in the shadow zone of her retrograde.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Mars is super sexy and fierce in Leo and as the divine masculine, meets with Lilith, who is essentially the first female human and the first wife.
Mars has squared Uranus, the crazy planet of change, so these meetings have to bring about electricity and sexual frisson.
Venus then meets Lilith and this is the second wife finding out the information she needs to develop.
This crazy week of change and discovery ends with Neptune going retrograde and I say we need to use the magic of Neptune here to upgrade our dreams and make miracles happen. Aligned action!

BEST MOMENTS

‘Lilith is not housewife-y, she’s rockstar girlfriend. Her and Mars are definitely backstage at Glastonbury.’
‘Maybe we’ll all have progressed on a bit out of our innocence, out of our naive willingness and perhaps we’ll all get a bit of Lilith in this Venus retrograde.’
‘It’s time for out lesson, it’s time to deepen our understanding of who we are, and it’s time to understand our partner more, to have deeper, more meaningful sex, get in with that rock n roll idea that we can go there, we can take these things to the edge and be more intimate, more vulnerable, but more real and not like a Stepford Wife.’
‘Uranus and Mars bring a force for change, you have to change whether you like it or not. It’s major but it's kind of unexpected, and also it’s not bring you some tidy outcome.’

Venus Shadow Zone

Thu, 15 Jun 2023 23:00:00 +0100

Venus & Vesta is launching a Venus Star Shala, a deep dive immersion to take us through the Venus Retrograde in Leo which is nearly four months. The Venus Star Shala includes seven astrology live sessions with a shamanic guided meditation for each of the Venus aspects during this process. It also includes a weekly Venus meditation space to connect and go deeper on a personal level.
Sign up to the Venus Star Shala for the fortnightly astrology sessions and weekly meditations and DM V&V for more details.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Venus moves into the shadow zone of the retrograde period on 19th July at 12 degrees Leo. At that point I will be holding the first Star Shala to look at where Venus is working for us and how we might work through this process, which might be different for everybody.
Just before Venus goes retrograde, Mercury in Gemini squares to Saturn in Pisces, two opposing energies ask us to speed up and be alert, yet also slow down and go inwards.
Straight after Mercury squares Saturn, the planetary Old Father Time starts his own retrograde journey, inviting us to look at our soft areas of love, creativity and feelings of lack and even lost parts of ourselves that might need reclaiming.
The Gemini New Moon is definitely a boost to help us make new connections, get thinking new ideas and have some flirty fun.

BEST MOMENTS
‘I don’t want anyone to be in fear of this because the modern, mainstream world has taught us to be afraid of Mercury retrograde. We need to embrace this Venus retrograde, embrace it and allow us to have a big heart opening.’
‘There will be seven guided journeys in my Star Shala throughout the key dates where I will explain astrology and how it’s affecting us. In between those points there will be 10 meditation groups.’
‘Venus in Leo is going to be romantic, sexy, full of love, warmth and generosity, there’s going to be drama and passion, lovemaking and flirting. There’s also going to be pride, and hurt pride, and jealousy as well, and it’s often quite passionate, unfounded jealousy, perhaps even misplaced hot-headedness.’
‘Where there is a retrograde we’re going to look deeper into the aspects that the retrograde is telling us and maybe we’ll find more power there for the retrograde and the planet.’

Pluto in Capricorn II

Fri, 09 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0100

Pluto moves back into Capricorn to return to the old ways of authoritarian rule and the corrupt within. In this episode Venus & Vesta looks at the dates for Pluto in Capricorn and how it may feel very different to the last 15 years as we have now had a taste of the power of Pluto in Aquarius. As Pluto’s move from Capricorn to Aquarius is so tightly combined with the American elections next year AND American’s Pluto Return, Venus & Vesta also looks at the natal charts of each candidate and see what chances they have of becoming president.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Joe Biden has too many placements in dark places to continue without these coming to light. The North Node moves to inconjunct his own North Node which is the destiny point, so Joe won’t be able to envisage the future of America so easily. Mars will be transiting his natal Pluto at the election, so it feels like a sword coming down on his power next year.
Trump and Marianne Williamson both have to get through the Venus Retrograde of the summer in order to stay in the game, but both will be activated to fight for America and the top job.
John F Kennedy Jr has a stellium around America’s Pluto and will be intrinsically involved in the revolution that America needs for its Pluto Return, so astrologically speaking he is in a powerful position.
Other candidates DeSantis and Cornell may not have the planetary positions to win, but they do have the staying power to have important roles in America’s Pluto Return and evolution.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We’ve had Pluto in Capricorn for 15 years. It’s a profound, insidious, slow moving planet that we kind of don’t understand or feel its effects until you point out various things that have gone on that represent that power.’
‘Pluto wants to, and will show the rot by giving it an excess of power that becomes toxic itself.’
‘Before 15 years ago we didn’t really have this idea that there was a top 1% who had all the money, not it's one of the main issues and the problems we all feel; that there is too much power at the top being held by too few who are unaccountable and unelected (WHO, WEF, NATO). Pluto in Capricorn has enabled these structure to become much larger and more powerful than they ordinarily would.’
‘All eyes are on America for Pluto switching sides.’

Venus & Lilith

Thu, 01 Jun 2023 23:00:00 +0100

On the roller coaster ride through the explosive first week of June, the planet of love and beauty steps into Leo where she will take a retrograde journey through the summer. Venus & Vesta launches her 'Venus Shala', a three month immersion into Venus and the retrograde in Leo, as well as an exploration of the asteroids in Leo following Venus, Lilith and Juno. This is a bi-weekly zoom session with astrology and guided meditations to connect with the beautiful energies of Venus and the asteroids involved in this retrograde.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The first week of June is explosive with Jupiter, the planet of expansion and learning, meeting the North Node, the point of destiny to open the doorway to the future. We’re pushing our planet and humanity and all of Earth’s riches right through that doorway into something we’ve not yet comprehended. This is a massive opportunity to start something new.
The Sagittarius full moon at the first weekend of June is very exciting, and it is joined by a conjunction between Mercury and Uranus for some explosive events likely to occur.
Venus is in Leo, preceding her retrograde in Leo which lasts until October when she leaves her shadow zone. Venus will be opposing Pluto straight away, which is a danger zone, and also making a T-square to Jupiter and the North Node.
Lilith is already there, so Venus & Vesta looks at who Lilith is and why she is so mysterious. She’ll be in Leo for the whole of this Venus retrograde, even during the shadow part which ends on the 7th October.
More details to follow for the Venus Shala live zoom sessions which follow the Venus Retrograde and its key aspects. The key dates are at 7pm BST on: 19th June, 3rd July, 23rd July, 13th August, 4th September, 18th September, and 7th October.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Boy, June is busting out all over!’
‘There are explosions going on and we can really move through the detritus and find a way forward that’s potentially really exciting, it’s a bit of a rollercoaster though because some of this will be totally unexpected and “a bit extra”.’
‘I’m a big fan of the asteroids and the stories they tell. I’m a quarter of the way into writing a book about the asteroids because many of them are female stories and it’s like they’ve been obliterated in the asteroid belt with all these tiny little domestic stories rather than the grand stories of the planets.’
‘The purpose of the Shala is a reconnection to the sovereignty in our heart, but also a reconnection for women to reconnect to the goddess Venus and to connect to our own femininity within. Men are welcome too.’

June Stars

Thu, 25 May 2023 23:00:00 +0100

June is literally busting out all over as the planets ignite passion and deep understanding that is beyond the mind. Venus & Vesta takes us through the key points in an exciting, roller coster month.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The month starts with expansive Jupiter opening the door to the future of planet earth by meeting the North Node destiny point.
Pluto moves back into Capricorn taking the power back to big business, industry and governance. But have we learned from Pluto’s visit to Aquarius, representing us, the people. Let’s see how Pluto can create dynamic power shifts, but forces an 'evolve or die' policy. which focuses on America experiencing its first Pluto Return.
The Gemini New Moon wants to look at some uncomfortable truths and the delusion will be rearing its head to expose what’s really going on as Neptune, the magical planet of illusion and mysticism squares the twin's lunation.
Venus enters the shadow zone of her upcoming retrograde in Leo and Venus & Vesta launches her Venus Shala, a dedication to Venus and our hearts that runs through to October. More details to follow.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Forewarned is forearmed.’
‘The Sagittarius Full Moon wants honesty but activates a Grand Fire Trine of personal passion and courage, as well as the deep triggers.’
‘4th and 5th of June hold onto your hats, this is going to be a rollercoaster ride.’
‘Owning your own stuff is becoming more of yourself, bringing in your higher self into your heart centred being.’

Mars Moves Mountains

Thu, 18 May 2023 23:00:00 +0100

Whilst we might be having a Taurus themed moment, there is a Leo period coming up that will invite us to sit up and take notice of what is in our hearts. Venus & Vesta explores the up-coming Venus Retrograde in Leo that starts now with Mars entering Leo.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Mars enters Leo and forms a dramatic opposition with Pluto in Aquarius, both at zero degree. These two are malefic who do not take "no" for an answer, but in an opposition, they may be in a deadlock.
Jupiter is now at zero Taurus, thereby making a T-square (to Mars and Pluto), literally forcing the planets in opposition to take action instead of just having opposition ideas.
Mars in Leo will ignite our passions and invite us to take part in whatever situation arises, we cannot sit on the side-lines anymore.
Leo rules the monarchy and many members of the monarchy have Leo rising or Leo prominent in their charts. Whatever happens now, will be thrust further in July and August, as Venus retrograde here will re-evaluate what it means to be royal or an unelected leader.

BEST MOMENTS
'Venus goes retrograde in July. This is a big moment for lovers, for Leo’s, for royalty everywhere, a moment for heart and heartbreak.’
‘You can see the downfall happening for some of the royals, and you can see how some might be really operational in that downfall considering these placements. I don’t want to wish downfall on anyone, but I think there will be a re-organisation in this field.’
"Immediately that Mars moves into Leo, this is quite a sexy, thrilling, flirty, great time to be having a little bit of tiger in your pants. But it’s going to directly oppose Pluto at 0 degrees Aquarius which is a powerful opposition to say the least.’
‘There’s going to be a technosphere around the Earth, like an AI smog. AI is doing the thinking for us, Ahrimanic forces are taking over, disconnecting us from our natural processes and the natural world.’

Taurus Creates A New Earth

Thu, 11 May 2023 23:00:00 +0100

So many planets are in Taurus right now, and Taurus represents Mother Earth, the planet and all her resources, so Venus & Vesta explores what this means to us personally and for the planet.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Jupiter the planet of abundance and expansion moves into Taurus and explodes all the issues connected to planet earth and our bodies. It expands anything it touches, good and bad without discrimination.
Jupiter is here in Taurus for a year and meets the North Node destiny point on 31st May to cast a spotlight on these themes and in April 2024 next year will meet the explosive planet Uranus for some crazy, earth moving events.
Taurus themes are being discussed at high levels right now, the Taurean Earthly conditions, like who owns the food supply, who controls the weather, who has ultimate say over our bodies? These are big ideas that will be brought to life with Jupiter coming into Taurus.
This brings us so many opportunities to gain wealth but also to become aware of how our bodies feel about things if we are to listen in to what it is trying to tell us.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Jupiter in Taurus is like the living embodiment of Marie Antoinette, absolutely luxury and comfort, yet stubborn too.’
‘The Taurus New Moon on 19th May is a fabulous day to start feeling how you want your life to be, rather than just seeing it.’
‘When Saturn and Pluto, two challenging planets, got together at the end of Capricorn they dug deep because they’re two karmic planets. They caused the pandemic and changed everything.’
"We are told fossil fuels are the composted debris of millions and billions of years of fossils, but someone recently asked "who told you that? How do you know that? That was the perceived wisdom, but is it true?” They started to unravel it and it’s actually quite an interesting area to go down if you want to Google it and find out what actually are fossil fuels, is that perceived wisdom that we’ve just accepted – just like with water/premium water – that there is an infinite amount of fossil fuel for us."

May Stars

Fri, 05 May 2023 00:00:00 +0100

Beltane is the pagan fertility festival that kicks off Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and this May, there are so many aspects that involve Taurus, the signifier for Beltane, it feel like the festival goes on all month long. Venus & Vesta describes the aspects that bring about the celebrating of Mother Nature

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We already had the Mercury Cazimi in Taurus on 2nd May, but on the 9th, the Sun meets up with Uranus and blasts us again with life changing energy. It takes the form of major changes in the regulation of our bodies, our food, our health, and farming.
There is a New Moon in Taurus and this will resonate with the Venus Retrograde happening in July and August, so make sure you are doing what your body feels good doing. This is a good time to make some cash and get in the flow of abundance.
Jupiter the planet of abundance and excess, moves into Taurus, joining the North Node, Mercury, the Sun and Uranus. Jupiter will expand all the Taurean themes that are already bubbling up, the planet’s resources, food, farming, our bodies, and of course sex!
Mars in Leo will emphasise the sex part of that equation, but really this comes with a caveat since Mars will be forming a t-square with Pluto and Jupiter, and the big planets will be holding onto their side of the debate with no clear winners until 30th May.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Some of the astrology aspects that turn up at certain dates, such as the Coronation, are like confirmation that this is all a large mathematical equation. It’s like seeing the cogs behind the wheels turning that make up the machinery of life, and once you’ve seen it you can’t unsee it and you see it in so many different places.’
‘Since Uranus has been in Taurus things about farming, veganism and farms being taken off smallholdings and given to the government, all those ideas have all come to be very prevalent.’
‘Our physicality and desires and food will be in focus, and perhaps some really heated debates around it.’
‘Jupiter expands all expression whether good or bad and will want us to look at nature and how with live or don’t live with it.’

First Week of May Stars

Thu, 27 Apr 2023 23:00:00 +0100

The first week of May has so much going on in it, that Venus & Vesta has split the month into two and here we just look at the first week.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Day one, Pluto goes retrograde on May Day at 0 degree Aquarius. Other historical things that have occurred at that point include the marriage and coronation of Anne Boleyn, which possibly doesn’t bode well for King Charles III.
Pluto in Aquarius has previously meant revolution, the rising of the people in protest, the beheading of kings and the leaving of global operations, which resonates with so much that is going on today.
Day two, Mercury has a Cazimi aspect which means its powers of communication, ideas and thinking expressions are going to be super-sized and we all get a ‘eureka’ moment.
The coronation of King Charles III occurs within 24 hours of the Scorpio Lunar Eclipse on 5th May and as he was born on a Lunar Eclipse, it allows him to be a special conduit for this shadow energy.

BEST MOMENTS
"We know the French for being able to construct blockades, strikes, they’re really prepared to take action against their government and demand things. Look what they’re getting up to now. Aquarius is where we don’t like hierarchies.’
"We understand Ann Boleyn in the modern age, but I don’t think she was understood then. That’s so Aquarian, she was before her time and she was crowned when Pluto was at 0 degree Aquarius, and six months later Elizabeth I was born and she also brought in a lot of radical ideas as well.’
‘Venus in Aquarius (such as Henry VIII) have a lighter view of being attached/committed, they’re more into freedom and having a looser, lighter engagement.’
‘With Pluto, it evolves or dies. We have to get freedom from institutions and big operations or we die doing so. We need to flatten the hierarchy or we’ll lose ourselves. We have to be able to marry and divorce who we want, we have to have freedom from the global structures, freedom from unelected and unaccountable operations. We need to live by what we believe, not living this way is a death in itself.’

Coronation Scorpio Eclipse

Thu, 20 Apr 2023 23:00:00 +0100

The Scorpio Lunar Eclipse on Friday 5th May is the platform for King Charles III coronation, so Venus & Vesta asks, who would organise their big event, the destiny they have waited all their lives for, on a Scorpio eclipse? And furthermore, are they - meaning the royal household - aware of this poignant and rather intense astrology.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Friday 5th May, Eclipse’s North Node is 4 degrees which is the same degree of the eclipse that King Charles III, a famous Scorpio, was born under. This is no coincidence of course, and demonstrates this is a powerful event for our planet, not just King Charles personally.
Scorpio eclipses will bring forth shadow forces and as King Charles is aligned with this eclipse, he must surely be a conduit for these to be revealed. Is he here to help transform humanity by these revelations, or is he part of a globalist plan for ultimate power and control?
The Sun is also exactly conjunct asteroid Salomé who was NOT an exotic dancer but a priestess, opening mystical doorways with her ‘dance of the seven veils’, an initiatory process that enabled John The Baptist’s soul and all its spiritual wisdom to ascend into heaven, cutting a pathway for Jesus.
The ruler of this eclipse is Pluto, and he has just moved into Aquarius, and at the 0 degree point of the sign of humanity, can instigate huge change by the revelation of the Scorpio shadow. Are we ready for this?

BEST MOMENTS
‘The Sun is in Taurus for the eclipse, and will conjunct the crazy planet Uranus, which no doubt will bring disruptive energies, throwing in the curve ball to bring about huge change.’
‘I think the Royals (unlike world governments) do use astrology. On the 5th May we have the Scorpio lunar eclipse and on the 6th May we have the Coronation of King Charles III which happens in the morning, less than 12 hours after the eclipse. It’s not a coincidence.’
‘Who would do anything under a Scorpio lunar eclipse unless you are a Scorpio, unless you really get that and you have something you want to reveal, you want deep and utter transformation, or you want to use black magic, who would do that on purpose?’
‘Scorpio is digging into the corruption and toxicity and where the power lies. It wants a deep and utter transformation. It also wants to look at sexuality and our programming around sexuality so that we can change and update our programming.’

Aries Solar Eclipse

Fri, 14 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0100

Venus & Vesta delves into all the crucial information for 2023 eclipse season which starts with the Aries Solar Eclipse on 20th April and gives the special details that make this period super powerful.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The four eclipses in 2023 all happen in four different signs, one in each of the four elements, giving a thorough and complete upgrade to all the signs. No one will miss out in 2023, we’re all going to get this in-coming energy to open up every aspect of our lives for dynamic change.
There are TWO new moons in Aries in 2023. One at zero degree and the other at the last degree, thus book ending Aries and emphasising all Aries theme. So we need to be ready for the boost in these areas such as masculinity and the ego.
Aries is ruled by Mars, the God of War, increasing the posturing about arms and invasions by our leaders. But Mars is also the masculine principle, the divine masculine and sexual dynamo, giving up energy, drive and sexual passion, which will light more personal fires too.
Both Chiron and Jupiter are in Aries for this eclipse, expanding all their themes, and emphasising the pain and suffering of war, the wounding in men and being unable to express our ego or individual ideas. Chiron is the wounded healer and brings about a responsibility to look after our own healing, to really look to ourselves other than blame someone else. Jupiter will expand the notion that we can heal, but also that the masculine needs help.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I really do vibe with eclipses, and I know many others do, there are new energies coming to Earth, they almost act like a gateway between the dark and the light.’
‘This is the first eclipse that’s happening in Aries in 9 years and the first time in the north node in 18 years.’
‘Men and the masculine need some help redefining their position and being proud to be able to be male, claim it back. Without wanting to go all Andrew Tate on you, I am supportive of proper masculine and so is Aries.’
‘I hate to say it but, if this was a more feminine driven world perhaps we wouldn’t have so many wars or firearms.’

Easter Initiations

Thu, 06 Apr 2023 23:00:00 +0100

Easter is a religious ‘holiday’ based on astrological principles, occurring always on the Sunday after the first Full Moon after the March solstice. Venus & Vesta explores the origins of Easter.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Before Christian times Easter was a pagan festival as well as Jewish Passover. Now Ramadan, which has been falling back through the calendar each year, is also in time with Easter, so we have the major religions now honouring or celebrating this time of year. I like this because it means they’re all in tune with the Earth’s patterns.
The chart of the Crucifixion shows important principles that are comparable to our own birth chart. The reason for this is the Jesus had three years of ministry with the Christ energy – an energy that hadn’t previously been on Earth in human form – As this energy was downloaded into Jesus the man’s body it was like nuclear energy and made him weaker and weaker after having performed miracles and had spoken so divinely.
Deeply esoteric principles are embedded in the Crucifixion and we look at some of the Steiner based teachings that Dr Yubraj Shama has brought to life: “As time went on during the three years the Christ spirit tied itself more and more into the body of Jesus, compressing and contracting himself as it entered”. Because this divine power was becoming more manifest, more earthly, into man the divine powers became lost as the God energies descended fully into human form. This is the process of materialisation and the decline of divine energy as it comes in to manifest our physical form. It reflects the downward arc of evolution to reach the densest point of world evolution which occurred at Golgotha at Easter.
The Crucifixion chart is comparable with our own Natal Chart and a good meditation is to compare the two and allow this chart to upgrade our own.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Astrology is intrinsic to our place on Earth, not just the seasons but our well-being and our spiritual nature.’
‘Easter always follows the Libra Full Moon which represents ’the other’, and we are encouraged to think beyond ourselves to others.’
‘Easter is the death of Jesus the man, but the entrance of Christ 's energy into earth with his baptism at 30 years old.’
‘The mystery of Golgotha is the death of Jesus the man on the cross, but it’s the conscious birth of the Christ energy into Earth and into all of us, that’s why it relates to our birth charts, it’s us coming into mankind.’

Destiny Is All - April Stars

Fri, 31 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0100

April stars are entitled Destiny Is All because the North Node destiny point is aspected all month long, AND it is the start of eclipse season.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

April does not have the intense aspects of March which has been epic. The major shifts for humanity that have been encouraged, proposed or forced by the planets have been powerful, intense and really life-changing and we haven’t really got to grips with what they’ve meant so far. However, April has the opportunities to move forward personally and for humanity.
The North Node is highly active and this is our destiny/mission point. You don’t have to take the mission, but can find yourself dragged back to the South Node, especially if you have lots of planets or a significant part of your chart is South Node-based, you will replay some of those things and perhaps you need to. The North and South Nodes signify the Rahu and Ketu, a dragon with the head and tail urging us forward to process our karma.
April is the start of eclipse season, which always happen around the North Node and the South Node - within 30 degrees of the Nodes – the closer, the more powerful the eclipse is. The Solar Eclipse in April is at the 29 degree point of Aries and will be the second New Moon in Aries this year.
The Mercury Retrograde breaks the APDM (All Planets in Direct Motion) and delves into Taurean aka ‘earthly’ themes. I predict we’ll be having increased discussion and debate about corporate climate change vs cyclical climate change, sustainable farming, food supplies, taxes and money. All Taurus themes.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Pluto, the lord of shadow, is squaring the nodes and forcing us to deal with the unsavoury aspects of the past and look to the future of the planet as represented by Taurus.’
‘The Full Moon in Libra draws us into a vision for the future, which may be false and maybe idealised.’
‘The Earth doesn’t want to be a factory, it wants to be much more sustainable, much more ecologically principled. That’s the heavenly Taurean idea, everyone’s comfortable, everyone’s happy and Taurus is in the field like Ferdinand the bull.’
‘Governments all over the world are trying to take control of our food supply. This is North Node in Taurus and Pluto in Aquarius with their squares.’

Mars Finally In Cancer

Fri, 24 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0100

Venus & Vesta identifies the big tsunami of emotion that can come this way as Mars finally moves out of a thinking, mentally orientated air sign, Gemini, into a very emotional, family orientated and sentimental sign for two months.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Mars in Cancer is square to last week’s Aries New Moon, which it was also ruler of, so a double explosion of extra emotional energy. Mars brings energy to wherever it is and suddenly here we can have emotions, it’s coming out of the noise, fuss and trickster of Gemini into the softness and emotional landscape of Cancer. It'll be like a sign of relief. But things will change because of this swelling of emotion and empathy.
Mars is very important in our charts for the amount of energy we have, what we put our energy into and how we set goals and what drive we have in life. Bearing in mind the changes that are happening around Mars there’s an idea here that your relationships and who you’re connected to are going to change and you’re going to feel differently about that.
Mars is here until 20th May, so plenty of time to cook, whether on your passions or projects you want to get done, you’ll be getting forced energy, you’ll have to do it.
Mars is not happy in Cancer, he is the warrior that has just come home from war with a gun and heavy boots, in the domestic sphere of cancer. He’s completely out of place. The emotions that this warrior brings into the kitchen is really stirring things up, there’s a really uncomfortable energy with this huge warrior coming into the family home which is peaceful. There will be heightened passions about your family, where you come from, your connections and we’re not going to be able to ignore this.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Mars in Cancer can bring focus to our domestic affairs, so a great time to look after the family, but also learn to cook.’
‘Mars in Cancer is also the firecracker, sex bomb who hasn’t quite grasped what to do with their sexuality.’
‘The Sun in Aries at 0 degrees, and on the Vernal Equinox, is the start of a new 26,000 year cycle, brand new territory.’
‘Mars really is The Man, lots of masculine energy and super wrought emotions that are being forced out of you and making you think about how you feel.’

Pluto Into Aquarius

Fri, 17 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0100

Pluto is finally leaving Capricorn after 15 years in the sign of big business, global politics and mega wealth. Venus & Vesta looks at what has happened in the last 15 years and what to expect when Pluto moves into Aquarius for the next 20 years.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

America was born 246 years ago with Pluto in Capricorn when it broke away from Great Britain. More evolution and revolution will come out of big business because the US has been the biggest global economy for the longest time. The entire Western world will undergo huge power shifts now, the same as it was in 1776 when Britain was the head of the empire kicking off the Industrial Revolution only for the US to break away and become a huge economy.
The time before that when Pluto was in Capricorn was during the Tudor dynasty, the most famous of which was King Henry VIII. He typified the age, he was the most extravagant spender, he was huge and into excess and had an idea of Great Britain as glory and had pride in its advancements. Pluto was in Sagittarius conjunct Jupiter. He wanted to be a hero worshipped and created a court.
It went from excessive displays when Pluto moved into Capricorn where he appointed Thomas Wolsey and other politically astute people to do his bidding. Pluto moved into Aquarius in 1533 and he annulled his marriage and married Anne Boleyn who gave birth to Elizabeth I who was born with Pluto at 0 degree in Aquarius, bringing in such a new era that she was born to do.
The revolutions that happened when Pluto was Aquarius included the French revolution and American revolutionary war. That’s what’s coming up people! We can potentially run circles around the powerful elites today too. The power will go from the elites at the top of the hierarchy to the people. Aquarius is the people.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Pluto is the furthest planet out and takes 246 years to go around the whole zodiac. He spent 15 years in Capricorn and will spend the next 20 in Aquarius – though we’ve got another 18 months of him switching back and forth between the two.’
‘He is planetary evolution; evolve or die. He’s bringing about crises that we’re seeing in the headlines. There will be a lot more of this in the next 20 years.’
‘The world is run by secret societies. Two, actually, that aren’t so secret: Vanguard and Blackrock. These two companies are making all the money out of everyone else’s misfortune. It goes beyond them as well.’
‘I’m not saying anyone needs to be beheaded right now, but it does show you the fervour, the passion and the growing power of the people that happens when Pluto is in Aquarius. Bring the power back to the people.’

Mars Leaves Shadow

Fri, 10 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0100

Mars has been in Gemini for seven months now, and finally leaves the shadow zone of his recent retrograde. Venus & Vesta discusses how Mars may have redirected or refined some elements of your life, but the information Mars provides will be the gift that keeps on giving, as this aspect lives on and on.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

On the 15th March Mars will leave the shadow zone of his retrograde journey in Gemini. Mars has been in Gemini for seven months which is a super long time for one of the faster moving planets to stay in one sign. When a planet leaves a shadow zone, things appear that are going to have to be analysed or reconsidered.
Exposés and revelations all the way, linked to the Twitter files and Elon Musk’s purchase and deconstruction of censorship and media.
Mars leaving the shadow zone doesn’t end the story there, with aspects to Neptune the King Of Delusion ensuring conspiracy theories and alternative facts keep on coming.
We must be careful of what we speak, as the Gods will be listening during this week, with the vital force of the Sun, plus Mercury also in play for Mars’s exit.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Mars as the God Of War, but also of sex, and is where we take energy, as well as where we take determined action. Conversely, he can be quite powerfully angry and turn passion into anger.’
‘Mars is associated with a knife and he does rule and oversee surgeries and allows for good, precision cutting to occur which will be a release.’
‘If you’re attracted to someone you have good Mars placements with Mars will also bring about negativity, especially if you’re not controlling your anger. It could be used against you.’
‘Mars in Gemini people are really funny, have minds that are as fast as a bullet, have silver tongues and can run rings around you.’

The Anaretic Degree

Fri, 03 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0100

In this episode Venus & Vesta look at what the 29 degree point means and why it is so intense. This ‘anaretic’ forces the themes of the sign and brings about the crisis so we learn the lesson - the last chance salon for a karmic download.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Pluto and Saturn are about to change signs at 29 degrees of their respective signs –Capricorn and Aquarius. This is a phenomenal thing, it’s called the anaretic degree because it has to force a crisis. Pluto has been at 29 degrees Capricorn since the 11th February and Saturn has joined it in Aquarius in the last week.
Once a month the Moon goes ‘void of course’ at the end of each sign. If all the other planets were in the first two decerns (0-10 and 10-20, nothing at 30 degrees) the Moon will go void of course after 20 degrees because there are no other aspects to make. It’s a gap between the last planet and the end of the sign, it means we’re open to anything, freestyling, like hang-gliding – sailing in there without any cosmic interference from the planets.
The 0 degree is enthusiastic and positive, the naïve ingénue. It has a flavour of a klaxon that wants to bring about all these things for me to learn, like opening a new book: where should I start? Do I write my name at the top? All these new, clean pages are ready for you to go and be creative with, it’s a lovely place to be.
The Virgo Full Moon on 7th is at the same time as Saturn moving into Pisces, flavouring Saturn’s 2.5 year journey through Pisces. It will bring about an air of purity. Virgo won’t be bullied into doing what’s not right, it will do the right thing. It’s a good time to do your creative work, make yourself a checklist and don’t get distracted.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Pluto rules toxicity and chemicals and we can see many explosions bringing our attention to contamination and the environment.’
‘Saturn is oppressive and Aquarius is ‘the people’ and freedom, so we see where these energies are forcing lock downs or institutionalised lifestyles.’
‘Uranus’s energising influence on the Virgo Full Moon will bring a new level of consciousness, it’s like a beam of enlightenment and energy that might be slightly chaotic but it will be able to take it as a steadying influence.’
‘Our supply chain of oil and gas is being sabotaged… I wonder why? Pluto is the king of self-sabotage.’

March Stars

Fri, 24 Feb 2023 01:00:00 +0100

Venus & Vesta gives us the low-down on the astrological aspects for March 2023, which is an incredible time in our history as epic shifts occur with major planetary movements taking humanity into the next era, the Age of Aquarius.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Mars finally leaving the shadow zone of the recent retrograde, and leaving Gemini at last.
Opportunities for healing with beautiful conjunctions around Chiron in Aries, with Venus and Jupiter, the planet that only says yes! Things will be better out than in, so acknowledge what your wishes and desires are so that Jupiter can make them expand and enhance them.
The Scorpio Full Moon will dig deep into the unknown and expose the dark agenda as Saturn changes signs.
Pluto exposes corruption and toxicity so that it may evolve and moving into Aquarius he highlights the darkness of power behind AI and the entities living within tech, already being talked about in the mainstream.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Not one, but two slower moving outer planets – Pluto and Saturn – change signs in March to herald in a seismic change in our reality.’
‘Saturn in Pisces deconstructs grief, sorrow and death, but puts in place opportunities to heal, especially via alternative health and vibrational medicine.’
‘Previous eras of activity in Pisces where spirituality has either been restricted or caused delusion, created the most amazing romantic art, but also advances in water and Atlantic crossing.’
‘Pluto in Aquarius wants us to be free and will show where we are not free, and bring focus to what is behind the 15 minute cities and the smart cities to come.’

Karma Of Saturn

Fri, 17 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0100

March is a pivotal month for humanity with several major aspects occurring, including Saturn changing signs. After 2.5 years, it moves into Pisces on 6th March, but what does this mean? Venus & Vesta look at the effect of Saturn in each sign, going back to 2009 when Saturn moved into Libra, and following Saturn’s movements since then, so we can plot what is coming next.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Saturn moving signs brings about an update of those sign's themes, deconstructing where there are problems, but re-building too, in order to bring about better ideals. Saturn is suppressive yet supportive at the same time as he makes us work harder. No one goes through life without, at some time, being touched by Saturn's karmic hard truths.
Saturn has a stern fatherly energy. He is your father, he is your leader, he is your boss, and also our government and the structures we build into our lives to run our lives by, whether career or familial. Saturn also represents our long-term goals and what we want to achieve in life - the long and steady climb to the top.
On 6th March, Saturn moves into Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac which represents endings, loss and death, femininity and the female archetype, healing and spirituality. This means there will be a serious look at death and we will see something event push excess deaths and #diedsuddenly up the news agenda to become a mainstream topic. The subject of death is not going to go away and we have two and a half years to get to grips with it.

BEST MOMENTS

‘There’s so much going on in March - it is pivotal for where humanity is going.’
‘The Saturn return takes 30 years and usually coincides with big life changes, the first usually makes you focus on getting a career started and earning good money.’
‘Saturn’s slogan should be “build back better”. Where have we heard that before? He is the master builder but also a complete jobsworth.’
‘J P Morgan said millionaires don’t use astrologers but billionaires do.’

Planetary Valentines

Fri, 10 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0100

Valentine’s Day is perfectly positioned between the Leo Full Moon and the Pisces New Moon for maximum heart opening effect. And here Venus & Vesta discussed the loving phenomenon these two astrological events bring about and why 2023 has extra love opportunities.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The Leo Full Moon in February is a full-on, heart centred being which is perfect for Valentine’s Day. There’s also a Pisces New Moon in February which is an opening for empathy, trust and giving yourself to another completely. These two events create the perfect Valentine’s Day scenario anyway – is this a Pagan festival or a Christian festival? It doesn’t matter because we’re going to have the full royal flush in our hearts.
There’s a frisson to friction that’s created by the square between vulnerable Venus in Pisces and clever, tactical and duplicitous Mars in Gemini. This can be used as a level to help crack open even the hardest of hearts to some of the things that could be around you at the moment.
Venus is making a sextile to Uranus, this is an appreciative and positive aspect that says yes, this is really happening in a sexy, spicy and fruity way. It’s like a wake up to your sexuality, what you’re feeling in your body when you’re around a certain person, or just within yourself.
On the 15th of February, Venus makes a conjunct with Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces. Venus is love, beauty, magnetism and Neptune is the dream world, a more spiritual world beyond the physical, it’s the magic that happens and the tsunami of emotional empathy that it brings to Earth. This is a real opportunity to fall head over heels and understand the sacredness within sacred unions.

BEST MOMENTS

‘As much as we may be fearful, and there are some danger signs, I still think we’ve got to take the risk and say “yes” to what you want.’
‘There are always going to be red flags in any relationship and you can’t just end a relationship every time one appears, you have to deal with it, open up to it and ask questions about it so you aren’t compromising your own standards.’
"We need to ride the wave of Neptunian power rather than get tossed and turned in the tsunami it can represent.’
‘It’s a wonderful, magical spreading of love through the plane, so enjoy it! If you’re aware it’s happening you can be clever and observant and perhaps aim for the healing ideas and recognise your patterns and see if you can do things differently next time.’

Love & Leo

Fri, 03 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0100

The Leo Full Moon gives us plenty of opportunities for love, romance and passion, and this Leo Full Moon works with the Venus Retrograde in Leo in July and August. So, there will be plenty of time to re-align your heart and upgrade your passion projects this year.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The Leo Full Moon on the 5th of February is linked to the Venus Retrograde, which happens later in the year in July/August. This is going to be quite profound and important because it only happens every 18-24 months. It will help us dig deep into our own sovereignty, our own power and is a step forward for compassion and love.
In the coming days there is this idea that we are all going to be realigned and repurposed to be with the partners that the soul has destined us to be with. I don’t subscribe to the fact that 100% of people will be realigned with their perfect partner, but I do think there will be more shifts here because we’re moving into the fourth and fifth dimensions, so people’s dimensional perspective changes. Not being aligned with your partner will cause wider chasms.
The Leo Full Moon and its square to crazy Uranus, and is in a T-square with the Sun. Uranus likes to throw a few curved balls to keep us on our toes and is going to dig deep in our bodies to give us the opportunity to open our hearts wider and more courageously.
King Charles and Duchess Meghan both have Leo as their first house and will definitely be affected by this Full Moon and the Venus Retrograde in Leo. In the Summer after the Coronation, I think there will be some shifts within the Royal Family that Charles might make, possibly with Meghan. Maybe there’ll be reconciliation and forgiveness?

BEST MOMENTS

‘Leo rules the Sun, and our ‘inner sun’, whatever we radiate out to attract our heart’s desire. Be conscious of what you’re radiating out from your heart.’
‘Leo’s are attracted to the hero of plays and films because of what is being emitted by that character. Leo is attuned with dramatic stories and the theatre and entertainment world. We all need to find a role model/hero we can emulate.’
‘Focus on realignment to being with the ‘right’ partner or adding some spice with the current romantic partner.’
‘Squares, where Leo is concerned, can be quite flirty. You can have fun with this square, it’s a really good time to get Tinder out and see who you can have fun with in a really good way, but the frisson can turn to friction.’

Loving February Stars 2023

Thu, 26 Jan 2023 01:00:00 +0100

February is a month full of opportunity to find love, enjoy the sensual pleasures of love and fall head over heels. Venus & Vesta gives us the key dates and planetary aspects that keep our hearts open for a month long Valentine’s Day. We are also in preparation for the changes due in March, including a full Moon in Leo, Mercury conjoining with Pluto, Venus meeting Neptune, a new Moon in Pisces, and Saturn and Pluto reaching the final degrees of their signs.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The full Moon in Leo, on the 5th of February, allows us to check in on what we are emitting and creating, what we are telling ourselves and what side of the scale are we from the mushy Venus in dreamy Pisces, or the dare-devil, duplicitous Mars in Gemini.
In July, Venus will go retrograde right through Leo. This is like peeling back where we have given ourselves away, where we have gone for what it looks like rather than what it is. The full Moon in February is really a forerunner because it’s exactly in the middle of that Venus retrograde. Because Venus is square to Mars at the full Moon, I think it’ll give us a taster to what is going to be happening around Venues retrograde.
Mercury and Pluto, both serious, hard-core planets now reach the anoretic degree, the final degree of their signs, which is known for bringing about urgent chaos or disaster (that you can’t avoid looking at) in order for their role in each sign to be completed in time – the last chance.
Mercury will overtake Pluto and head into Aquarius, this is where the people are – humanity – the cat is out of the bag now, you can’t deny what’s been seen, it’s like the veil has been taken away. Maybe there’s a real possibility of so many people understanding what does go on in Davos or the World Economic Forum or in political/corporate boardrooms where these systems that enable the huge, pointed hierarchy of the top 1% are agreed.
On the 15th February the Sun is conjuct with Saturn at 27 degrees Aquarius, this is where we’ve got to be a bit more serious and make a commitment, even if it’s the maddest thing you’ve ever done, you need to go with it. Anything can happen. This is karmic.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Let’s be alert to the new information that Mercury brings when he makes a conjunction to the dark Lord of the sub-conscious and hidden that is Pluto – bringing data to our consciousness.’
‘The New Moon in Pisces, on the 20th February, is the doorway for love, but also of karmic associations and relationships.’
‘On the 15th February – a day after Valentine’s Day – Venus meets up with Neptune in Pisces to bring about a huge heart opening, but also the glamour of the illusion increases its magnetic appeal.’
‘Saturn will be in Pisces for two and a half years. This is very much about owning where we are lost, processing where we are lost and allowing that process to take place. It’s a healing on so many emotional levels.’

Age of Aquaria New Moon

Fri, 20 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0100

Aquarius is the most progressive and futuristic sign, but it also rules the angelic realm. In this episode, Venus & Vesta explores why this New Moon in Aquarius is not just a ‘new moon’, but an important doorway to bring us a step closer to the future, with the possibilities for enlightenment and the next stage of humanity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The Aquarius New Moon happens on the 21st January at 8:53pm GMT. It’s not just a New Moon, where it’s happening and what’s going on is much, much bigger. Aquarius represents our future selves and where we are heading, future tech, the idea of moving into much more technically processed and advanced lives, and also it’s the future human or humanoid, the AI human, the cyborg, the future of humanity. It represents humanity at its best and its worst and all of us together, it represents society and also how we might get our freak on.
Elements of the sign have an unEarthed feel. This is because Aquarius represents the angelic realm, or the future human. The future human then becomes the lowest level of angelic being. When we move into the Age of Aquarius and beyond, what are we evolving towards? The lowest level – or the next level to come up into angelic being, where we won’t even have bodies. I can’t wait for those wings!
This cycle of the great solstice is part of a greater 800-year cycle, which has years of 200 divisions – 200 years of each element to complete an 800-year cycle. This is the beginning of the next 200 year cycle as well as the beginning of the next 800-year cycle. We’re also at the beginning of the air sign cycle at 0 degree Aquarius. We’re being catapulted through into a different age, a new age.
We have to evolve through the seven planetary stages and become the tenth order. This isn’t going to happen until during Earth’s Vulcan stage, which isn’t happening until 5734, so we’ve got time. But before that time, we must cultivate grace, faith, purity, charity, good will, forgiveness, and of course unconditional love. These are all things that bring us the Christ consciousness, so we are really going through Christ initiations and learning all these ideas to then process, all of us together, to become the angelic possibility in the next few thousand years.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Aquarius can be a little quirky and we’re allowed to be quirky with it and a little bit different.’
‘Over the last 200 years has been a huge influx of materialism, moving away from spiritual ideas and ethereal duality/Luciferian systems of the soul being lost if we don’t do good, and this this wasn’t important or wouldn’t control our lives. Darwinism from creationism.’
‘Angels have shown themselves in physical form in this world. It’s quite hard for them to do that, to show their form, but I’ve had friends that have seen angelic forms and speak to the angels – so many people do – and I quite envy them.’
‘This New Moon is a real taster for the Aquarian shift that is going to be happening now in the next 200 years.’

Don't Fear The Retrograde

Fri, 13 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0100

As one by one the planets turn into a direct flow motion, we can consider what we have learned during the period. Only after the retrograde has completed, can we see where we have been directed to, as alternative to what we had in mind. Venus & Vesta explore the recent Mars Retrograde as Mars turns direct, followed by Mercury turning direct and then Uranus.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Mars is stationing at 8 degrees which has been a really important point over the last few years of these retrogrades that are all bonded together. It’s like they’re passing on the baton. Mars is our energy, the bow and arrow that really takes us somewhere, it’s where we have goals and the energy to commit to them, where we have certainty, and where we have real desire. Mars is also the knife that cuts through things. When Mars goes retrograde it’s like somebody has pulled the plug out and we’ve lost that power. Now we’ve come to the end of the retrograde we have to think about how we’ve been de-powered and has that redirected us to somewhere else?
Mars is about sex too and maybe we have to change our mind about how we feel sexually. We can look at the debate about gender and sexuality and maybe things more positive can move forward once Mars either goes forward but also leaves Gemini entirely. Think about your own sex and sexual desires as something that can bring about sexual chi that you might want to work towards and put in place of your goals.
If you have planets at 8 degrees, they are going to be triggered by Mars sitting at the 8 degree point in Gemini as Gemini will trine, square or oppose all the other planets. Mars will sit here for three weeks which is plenty of time to really look at what we have learned, take note and reconsider the last three months.
When Mercury goes direct in Capricorn in January, it will be at 8 degrees as well. The financial systems will continue to be changed away from the FIAT system. There’s a thrust and certainty that comes about this month. If you have any New Years’ Resolutions it’s probably wise to start them after the 22nd of January because of these retrograde planets sitting at 8 degrees.

BEST MOMENTS

"We are three months ahead of all planets in direct motion, which is called APDM. It's something to behold as well as retrogrades which get a bad rep.’
‘Mars is taking away some of President Biden’s thought processes. There is this idea that has been demonstrated repeatedly that he’s in advanced years and dementia is taking over.’
‘Sexual energy is your lifeforce, once we’re engaged in that idea we can put that energy into other things other than the physical act of sex.’
‘Mars in Gemini will allow us to change our minds whether it’s in retrograde or not.’

Cancer Full Moon 2023

Fri, 06 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0100

In this episode Venus & Vesta explain the Cancer Full Moon which will occur on the 6th of January 2023. Because Cancer is one of the water signs, big, emotional, watery outbursts or sentimental drivel (whatever way you want to look at it) are to be expected – not just personally, but in the family too. This sentimentality can either be really irritating or make you feel quite lonely.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

This Cancer Full Moon emphasises the domestic sphere. The full Moon is always opposite the Sun, which is in Capricorn – which is the commercial/corporate/business world, where you go out and succeed. Cancer is very much the opposite, it’s where the domestic world happens – family, food, security, caring, where you go when you’re ill. They are both opposite but very important parts of our lives.
Mercury’s role is to dig deep in the corporate and government worlds and peel back some layers of information, digging deep into the data and the connections, into contacts, into big news and to find out and give us information to reconsider some of the stuff we’ve been told and analyse things a little deeper. For example, Elon Musk digging deep into the Twitter Files and exposing some incredible pieces of information. It really is worth seeing what he’s coming out with, none of the mainstream media is reporting on it yet.
Cancer is saying: “Let’s bring it back to what’s important”, really bringing up our emotional values, our emotional sense of caring for one another and our understanding or what really is important; our emotional connections or putting emphasis on them while the business world is ticking away. We’re doing this for the love of our fellow man and to be with them. Cancer Full Moon is about the feminine and the mother, mother love and motherhood and why we’re feeling this big connection to our mothers and the need to be mothers and mother ourselves. It’s all going to come quite large with this full Moon, against this corporate ideal and the issues that are coming up. We’ll care more about why these are happening, how they might affect us and why we’ll feel more protective over our family and what is really happening and has been exposed by Mercury.
While people’s emotional lives are coming to the fore, there is also this idea (with Cancer) of surrendering to what is, giving it its credence and wanting to explore and process all the facets of it, go back into detail to really nurture, help and look into it. We’re potentially looking at how we care for people (the NHS) who are sick and why they’re sick. The Cancer full Moon might bring out a lot of ideas around how we care for sick people and are we doing the right thing?

BEST MOMENTS

‘Most people have had a big break over the Christmas holidays and are getting ready to get back to work but, when they get there, they just want to go home.’
‘The full Moon always has the most power. But, with Mercury in a big, powerful retrograde through Capricorn, it’s almost like we’re moving against this even more so, it’s even more pulling against the natural force of the Moon.’
‘Twitter is so Mercurial.’
‘How are they going to respect and honour and really give these nurses what they deserve? Hopefully, with this Cancer full Moon, the nurses are winning. Give them some more money.’

January 2023 Stars

Fri, 30 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0100

On this episode Venus & Vesta explains how the January 2023 stars are really future orientated, more so than any January. This is because Mars, Mercury and then Uranus will all be going forward after their retrograde process, so that all the planets will be in forward motion. Mars moving forward is a big thrust for ideas and connections and we have been waiting for this energy to come back for three months. Also, Uranus is a crazy, unpredictable planet with eyes on the future and he rules futuristic Aquarius, so when he goes forward within a day of the New Moon in Aquarius, we really will see plans for the future being promoted or playing out.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

On the 2nd and 3rd of January, the Sun in Capricorn is going to square Chiron in Aries. There’s a sense of doing the right thing and a deep sensitivity which is great for New Years Resolutions. This could be against what everyone else is thinking. But hold on until the 16th-18th of January to actually action your resolutions until the planets have gone direct.
When Mercury moves in front of the Sun (a cazimi) on the 7th, it’s given a boost of energy, which means more powerful news, communication, travel and thinking powers. It’s like a eureka moment, especially as Mars is also retrograding in Gemini. There’s no burying of band news, it will be exposed, either personally or globally.
On the 18th Mercury goes directly into Capricorn at 8 degrees. Again, we’re ready to have that exposure around business dealings, ready to have the conversation, ready to put the markers in and join the dots to combine lots of information. Mars is also at 8 degrees in Gemini and President Biden has his Saturn at 9 degrees Gemini, for him it’s a really important time to expose his brain power, what he’s really thinking, or lack thereof. I think we might see some talking points emerging around his dementia which hinders him from communicating or even walking up a few flights of stairs.
On the 22nd crazy planet Uranus goes direct at 14 degrees Taurus. Uranus rules Aquarius and this will be like a crazy twist of fate being thrown at us that you may not have expected… or, if you did, you’ll wonder how they pulled it off. The new Moon in Aquarius is intrinsically linked to Uranus going direct with futuristic, direct and off-beat energy around it; it's a massive curve ball. At the same time, Venus conjuncts Saturn in Aquarius. You might think Venus is all about love and Saturn is about fatherly oppressive, restrictive energy, but together they’re actually quite balanced with a commitment to affairs of the heart.

BEST MOMENTS

‘On the 6th January there’s a full Moon in Cancer, this is a good time to look at family dynamics, especially within the ancestral male line, because Mercury is opposite this Moon in retrograde in Capricorn, to see how they feel about the patriarchal stereotypes on the men in the family.’
‘Mars going direct on the 12th January is a big sigh of relief and means you can get things done and move forward yourself. Start getting things going.’
‘There will be tasters in January of what’s to come in March 2023 because the Sun moves into Aquarius, where all the crazy stuff starts. Let’s get ready for something quite profound to be announced or move us forward, like a revelation about off-planet wars or beings being exposed and in the headlines.’
‘All the planets are now in direct motion, APDM – full speed ahead. There’s no checking of lists, there’s no looking backwards, there’s no consideration or pausing. It’s like the Titanic and the iceberg.’

December Solstice

Fri, 16 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0100

In this episode Venus & Vesta explains the phenomenon known as the solstice. Solstice literally means still sun and solstices are a special time to mark the seasons as well as the passage of time via the light and dark available on the planet. The Earth is at its most extreme direction facing away from the Sun, although closest to it, whilst in the Southern Hemisphere it is summer and the longest day, the Northern Hemisphere experiences the shortest day, a distinct lack of light in the cold winter months.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

This solstice is the most extreme. It’s when the Earth has moved furthest away from the Sun, in its angle. At this furthest point it’s like a still point, and solstice does mean “still Sun”, so it’s like a reckoning, a pause between the in-out breath that we experience. Suddenly, the Earth is going to move back towards the light – in the northern hemisphere – and away in the southern hemisphere.
On the 22nd December it takes the longest time for the Earth to rotate on its axis because of the magnetic effects of the Sun, which is fantastic because we’re experiencing the shortest/longest amount of light, but it’s not in relation to the amount of time the Earth takes to do one rotation.
The northern hemisphere does experience a profound lack of sunlight, if you’re in the northern parts of Scotland or Iceland, you’ll experience around six hours of sunlight, which isn’t a lot. For the ancients, that must have been a lot of hardship to go through, to realise that they’re in much more of a hibernation – very similar to the animals – than anyone near to the equator or the southern hemisphere. Also, all of our astrology was developed by people living in the northern hemisphere experiencing the solstice from the north.
I do think we are meant to honour and respect and take notice of these Earthly cycles, whether they are new and full Moons, eclipses, solstices, equinoxes, they are moments for us to understand how we’re here, what we’re doing here, our evolution here and how we can navigate and process it more effectively with these signposts of light and dark.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The solstice was an important time to let them know that the light was returning and of course pertains to the ‘coming of the light’ with Jesus’ birthday a few days later.’
‘The Druids were guardians of light and understood how the light and dark helped us mark and process the passing of time.’
‘The solstice connects to many ancient sites around the world, not just Stonehenge where the druids still gather.’
‘The Mayans and other ancient cultures understood the earth’s 26,000 wobbles as a passing of time for the planet way into the future.’

Stars For 2023

Fri, 09 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0100

In this episode Venus & Vesta explains how 2023 is full of phenomenal changes for humanity and for our own emotional maturity. It will wake up the warrior within, so that we become passionate about ideas that concern not just us, but our fellow man to bring about new ways of thinking. At the same time technical advancements will proceed with 5G and AI, but conversely saving the planet, caring for our earth will also get top billing.

The year includes; Mars finishing its retrograde and leaving Gemini, Saturn entering Pisces, Pluto entering Aquarius, Pluto going back to the USA Pluto Return point, New eclipse themes as the axis moves to Aries /Libra, Four eclipses, one in each elemental sign, Jupiter entering Taurus, Venus retrograde through Leo, Mercury retrogrades all occurring through solid earth signs.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We’ve all been waiting for Mars to go direct. It’s a three-month retrograde in January. When he goes direct I think all those complexities, confusion, ideas that we have to delve into and think about, the small print, reading of the instructions that don’t make sense, utter annoyance and irritation, things suddenly becoming obvious – on that day we’ll think “OK, I’ve got it now”. Things suddenly become clear.
Because Uranus starts the APDN, Uranus is the higher thinking, enlightenment planet, the one who is going to bring us in, thinking for humanity, cosmic codes, this is like a higher lift for humanity to go forward. It’s going to be great for self-improvement and improvement of all ideas we have and our thinking processes. They’re all going to go forward, but so will things you don’t want to go forward as well, so be mindful of that.
When Saturn moves signs we always have a big drama around the themes for the next two and a half years. For instance, Saturn moves into Scorpio on the 2nd November 2012 and on that day a BBC Panorama programme went out proving that Jimmy Saville had been the biggest paedophile of all time. From that, the next two and a half year every light entertainer from the 1970s was being analysed and potentially exposed for abuse of his position or sexual misdemeanours. And, of course, Scorpio rules sex. So, it was Saturn’s role to expose them and put things right. With Saturn moving into Pisces we’re going to be looking at death, excess deaths, sudden deaths, funerals, death counts, and people really understanding what really has been happening – did Matt Hancock really buy all the stocks of midazolam in Europe and give them to the nursing homes to kill off all the elderly?
Pluto leaves Capricorn and Aquarius on the 23rd March after 16 years. Pluto is more about our internal process and evolution, he wants to dig out the poison and corruption and make what is rotting inside evolve, a bit like compost. It wants us to understand what ails us as humanity, be that our lifestyles or the way we connect, that’s all up for massive evolution. Aquarius rules future ideals, so where we’ve been led to believe that we’re going to have an android future with AI, transhumanism, Citizen X, genderless, monitored, facial recognition – all these ideas that have been mooted as our great and easy future where we all have a chip in our brain, Pluto will expose some of the corruption within that and what it really means. People will wake up to understand what that is. Hold onto your seats, this move will be powerful.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Big Corporations and Big Politics, when Mercury goes direct in Capricorn, will be ignoring the data that’s dug up by Mars in Gemini; Central Banks’ digital currency going ahead despite overwhelming voices and data proving otherwise.’
‘When things are flowing forward we’re not looking back, we’re going straight forward, and that’s really great for anyone starting New Years’ Resolutions, get them started on the 22nd when Uranus goes direct. It’s like the starter klaxon for the year.’
‘Jupiter and Saturn conjoined on the solstice, 23rd December 2022, at zero degrees Aquarius and started the next 200 years of a 600-year cycle in air signs. This is the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. Pluto moving into zero degrees Aquarius in 2023 between 23rd March and 11Th June is also another heralding factor to open the doors for the Age of Aquarius. It’s like creating a new humanity, humanity has to evolve now.’
‘In this year of change we have four eclipses in two pairs, each eclipse is going to be in a different sign and a different element. In April, a solar eclipse in Ares – a fire sign, in May, a lunar eclipse in Scorpio – a water sign, in October a solar eclipse in Libra – an air sign and two weeks after that, also in October, a lunar eclipse in Taurus – an earth sign. This is a little bit crazy, the change of axis here in 2023 means each element is going to get a change/update, no stone is going to be left unturned.’

Gemini Full Moon

Fri, 02 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0100

On this episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast, Ann-Louise Holland explains how the Gemini Full Moon on 8th December 2022 is a complex one. On one hand it is loaded with fun and new interests. But on the other hand, all the stuff that Gemini ignores comes out to play. All the times we didn’t read the small print, or the instructions. All the times we glossed over something for an easier ride, are now in full force.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Gemini loves talking and flirting and making connections, but to keep up this level of chat and amusement, the twins don’t go deep or hang around for long. This means things get missed. This Gemini Full Moon is here to enhance the play between the dark and light, and expose much that gets missed.
Mars Retrograde in Gemini is exact on this Gemini Full Moon, and Mars Rx will want to dig deep into these quandaries. Mars wants to get to the point and by going retrograde, he will go deeper into the small print and the internal reasoning behind many issues. Mars Retrograde exactly on this point means contracts need to be finalised and maybe small cuts need to be made, even to finances.
Things to do on this Full Moon in Gemini are to start writing your book, sort out your admin, make connections, start a marketing campaign or get onto a dating app. Any social media will be well starred and we are duty bound to hear of the big platforms changing hands or policies. So it might also be time to close your account, because Full Moons do signify endings and completion, and none more so than one conjunct Mars Retrograde.
This is a really good time to visit friends or make connections with friends, and pick up the phone to someone that you haven’t seen in a while. It’s also a good time to join a dating agency, you’ll make so many connections with this. It’s a good time to sort out your bills, look at your finances and see what numbers are going on there. Maybe you can work out your finances in a better way on the admin side of things. It’s a good time to sign off contracts and complete them. Also this is a great time to start a mission to read a book a month for a year or start writing a book, just open the document, title it and start planning even if you don’t start the writing for a couple of months.

BEST MOMENTS

‘My best friends and first love are Geminis, I don’t want any Geminis listening to feel in any way attacked or that this is getting to them in any way. We love our Geminis because they are a lot of fun, but they are also tricky.’
‘Mars retrograde exact on this Gemini Full Moon may represent another step further to Central Banks Digital Currency, but also has the ability to look at redacted contracts, hidden jet-set clients, rigged voting systems. It really does have power.’
‘Not all Geminis are liars, but most liars are Geminis.’
‘This Gemini Full Moon is a really great time to make an announcement and say what you’ve got to say, without having to think.’

December Stars

Fri, 25 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0100

On this episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast, Ann-Louise Holland explains how he planet Mercury is in full action for all of December and delves deep into the information we are given and how we might be thinking.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Mercury is starred in most key aspects this month, including his rulership of the Gemini Full Moon and the Mars Retrograde, as well as his own Mars Retrograde. The first week starts with an augmentation of our dream world and any delusions we find ourselves being told, or telling ourselves. Have the lies been pushed too far? The Gemini Full Moon in the second week may force decisions to be made or fresh information to come to light that changes the dynamic of many situations.
Mercury will be going retrograde at the end of the month, but enters the shadow zone on 12th, so we need to be aware of what is happening around this time, that then takes on a life of its own. This may also be connected with the Mercury (and Venus) retrograde of December 2021, where we were expecting the banking crisis to begin.
Jupiter moves into Aries for some fresh thinking that might even get angry, and then Jupiter joins the New Moon in Capricorn, and this is a time to get any business ideas off the ground as it has that gung ho, starter klaxon energy and will help build things that will last.
The square of Neptune in Pisces, the king of delusion, and the Moon has cosied up to them as well. This is a triple layer of inconceivable artifice which prompts and forces more lies. Like telling lies to cover up the lies. It’s a formidable subterfuge that’s going on at the beginning of December. Later, Venus makes the same square in Pisces, enhancing our belief system and making us feel happy being told all these lies.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Pluto comes back to American (and the West’s) Pluto Return, which pushes our world further along its evolutionary path and we may see this turn to revolution.’

‘We end the year with Venus working with Pluto, which often creates obsessions and powerful shifts or changes of hearts. Probably an appropriate energy to end a dynamic year on.’

‘Mercury is a bit of a trickster, he’s a lot of fun and gives us information and connections, and makes thing happen around us, we get news from him. He’s a real player in our lives, but this month there are several key aspects he makes to the big planets.’

‘This is a good time for anyone to start something business-minded, make a commitment to something and even if you’re not ready to start a business, make a commitment, etc, all you need to do is open a document or an email and start it by giving it a title.’

Astrological Houses

Fri, 18 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0100

On this episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast, Ann-Louise Holland explains what the astrological houses actually are, and why are unique to each individual and how they express the egol. Venus & Vesta was inspired by a meme showing all the houses with their respective platforms and has aligned each astrological house with a media platform like Tinder or Twitter. If you don’t know what the houses are, this is an easy lesson, and if you do, it works as a fun idea to explain the houses.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

the houses and their platforms are: 1) Aries. Ego. Instagram. 2) Taurus. Resources. PayPal. 3) Gemini. Connections. Uber. 4) Cancer. Family. Facebook. 5) Leo. Fun. TikTok. 6) Virgo. Health. WebMD. 7) Libra. Relationships. Tinder. 8) Scorpio. Income. Robin Hood. 9) Sagittarius. Wisdom. Wikipedia. 10) Capricorn. Achievements. Linked In. 11) Aquarius. Social. Twitter. 12) Pisces. Hidden. 4Chan
The first house is the sign rising in the Eastern horizon and the most important astrologically speaking. This is why astrologers need your birth time to see what sign of the zodiac was positioned around you at the time of your birth. All the signs and planets below the horizon represent inner and more personal life aspects, whilst the houses, signs and planets above the horizon are the outward expression and development beyond your personal world.
Everyone knows their Sun sign, because it’s obvious from their birth date. But the other two factors you have to consider are the Moon sign – which changes every two and a half days – and also the rising sign which is really important because it’s the first house that’s rising in the East. It’s how you meet the world, how you confront things, how you relate to people.
The houses below the horizon line are the ones to do with your inward, personal processes and the ones above are more about your blossoming and how you go out into the world and how you interact in day-to-day life. As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul. We are all one and if we are made of stardust, this is how the stardust expresses ourself.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The houses are how we express ourselves individually and are created by the world’s turning like a clock.’

‘I was born in London, but if I was born in New York or Jakarta, the houses would be slightly different because my connection to the Sun would be slightly different.’

‘The signs move back around every 24 hours as the Earth is turning. That is our connection to the Earth and how we will express ourselves on Earth and is our connection to our Earthly body.’

‘Rather than using a whole house chart, like the ones used in the newspaper astrology sections, when you’re reading individual charts I think it’s more complicated but more interesting and sophisticated to use a Placidus system.’

The Rise of Rishi Sunak

Thu, 10 Nov 2022 01:00:00 +0100

In this episode, Ann-Louise puts the spotlight on Rishi Sunak, the new Prime Minister of the UK. Ann-Louise asks who is Rishi Sunak, astrologically speaking, how did he rise to power and explores what specific astrological aspects allowed this to happen.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Rishi has a single moon in Aries, making him dynamic and clear about what he is thinking.
The events in the lead-up started on the 31st of July, in the conjunction between Mars, the North Node and Uranus; a powerful conjunction to change things. Whatever is added to this triangle to create a square will either strengthen it or collapse it.
Liz Truss with her Mars in the UK’s T-Square empty space never had the ability to last.
The death of the queen, activated by Saturn in Leo, ricocheted causing more devastation.
Rishi’s Virgo placements make him overtly analytical and deeply aware of his role and responsibility as a politician.
Rishi’s Venus in Gemini allows him to be the ‘sales man’ to bring about a master plan after the Mars Retrograde ends in March 2023.

BEST MOMENTS

‘This sun in Taurus person has got the serious way of speaking to people that really will allow him to govern and make really good points in the right way’

‘This T-Square can have an element of eccentricity to it’

‘The death of the queen was connected to the Saturn in Leo’

'Mars in Taurus is like a bull in a china shop'

November Lunar Eclipse

Thu, 03 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0100

On this episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast, Ann-Louise Holland talks about the eclipse on 8th November which is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

This is a blood moon, and this is not just the electromagnetic field of the earth colouring the moon, it relates to the Mars energy and Ahrimanic forces that are to come alive when we do not have the benevolent forces of the Sun helping us.
Eclipses come in pairs and this one is straight after the Solar Eclipse which was number 123 in a saros cycle that started on 6th March 1049 and will end on 11th May 2347, so this will relate to our past lives around this time and also the future.
The lunar eclipse is conjunct Uranus and he wants to enlighten us, and surprise us, so anything could happen and we can expect to have new ideas but also feel the connection within our bodies.
The Solar eclipse two weeks before was in Scorpio and relates to the sub-conscious and what is hidden in the past, and this Lunar eclipse in Taurus relates to where we are heading and what we can actually tangible feel and create. It is great for manifesting money, love and happiness.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Between eclipses is a really powerful time where the more esoteric, shadow forces arise and karma plays out in a really powerful way.’

‘It made me laugh that Rishi Sunak became the Prime Minister of the UK to take control of the money markets. He’s an ex-banker and that’s very Scorpionic: We’re going to take back control, undo what was happening, put in better rules and fix this.’

‘It’s really dangerous to look at the Sun without proper eclipse sunglasses – not just ordinary sunglasses.’

‘Scorpio loves you to process, it needs to evolve. If you’re working intentionally on that then bring it on! It’s much better to intentionally address these energies and work with them and give them something to do than to ignore it and have it come and tap you on the shoulder.’

November 2022

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 10:11:03 +0100

On this episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast, Ann-Louise Holland talks about that fact that we are betwixt eclipses and all the other movements of the planets and stars in November and what this may mean for us this month.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

November starts with the lunar eclipse in Taurus and this is a great eclipse to start manifesting what you really want. Taurus is the richness of the land, so rules our bodies as well as the wealth we create either physically or from the land. It really is a manifesting moon.
Mars is retrograde throughout November and as Mars makes certain aspects to other planets, deeper truths and tricks that have been played will be revealed and this could get very interesting.
There are a few lucky days in November as we move into Sagittarius season at the end of the month. Jupiter the planet who rules Sagittarius turns direct, so we can thank our lucky stars for whatever we receive around this time.
The Sagittarius New Moon invites us to go forth with our newly found inner wisdom and emotional sensitivity. It is also a great day to start new plans and dream up future possibilities.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The day Jupiter went into Scorpio a few years ago the Harvey Weinstein scandal broke out which resulted in the Me Too campaign. We’ve concentrated on the darker side of sex in the Scorpio transits of late. In November 2012, when Saturn moved into Scorpio, the Jimmy Saville scandal broke.’

‘Venus is about sex and money. On one hand we have to look at what that means about how we feel about sex or the sex we’ve had in the past, holding on to dark secrets and programming that wasn’t necessarily right for us and potentially how we can change it.’

‘I think it’s a good idea to allow yourself to be surprised and feel into your body about how you feel about what’s changing. Do you get a physical reaction in your body?’

‘The new moon has emotional wisdom that could bring about hope and a feeling that we can heal, we can move beyond what’s happening globally and personally. It’s a really nice, uplifting message for our times, I’m looking forward to that one… but we’ve got to get through eclipse season first.’

Eclipses and October’s Scorpio Solar Eclipse

Wed, 26 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0100

On this episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast, Ann-Louise talks about eclipses and specifically the Scorpio eclipse which occurred on the 25th October 2022, it’ll be a Halloween special!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We are heading for eclipse season and the next eclipse is on 25th October 2022 and in Scorpio – The next eclipses happening in USA and UK in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
Rudolf Steiner felt that eclipses were pressure valves, but they are also a time when we can commune with the shadow forces and the elementals, like a midsummer night’s dream…tricks and magic abound.
All the Scorpio themes will be highlighted from sex, money and the shadow, plus the eclipse is conjunct Venus, so love and relationships will need to evolve, once they find out what this eclipse has in store for them.
Scorpio rules all things hidden and contracts, so we may get to see the European contract for the pandemic medicine without all the redactions, since this is becoming news already.

BEST MOMENTS

‘As this eclipse is in Scorpio, there may be information about sexual predators, like Jimmy Saville in the news.’

‘If we can be intentional about the eclipse and use the energy to bring about our own revelation, deep insight and healing, using the Venus energy to focus on the beauty.’

‘I adore eclipses, I’m an eclipse hunter and have gone all over the country and the world to watch them.’

‘We’ve got unbridled and unhindered energies, impulses, instincts and lower instincts are suddenly surging and coming out into the cosmos and there’s no 'father' (Sun) energy to hold them in check.’

Money, Manifesting & Markets

Tue, 18 Oct 2022 23:00:00 +0100

On this episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast, Ann-Louise Holland talks about why the money markets are becoming unpredictable and, as America meets its Pluto Return, what do the planets hold in store for our finances, globally and personally.
She also unveils where you find money in a natal chart, which planets will help you find money and your issues with money, why Pluto is responsible for the Great Depression of the 1930’s, why Jupiter is responsible for the Great Recession of 2008, what is next for the banks and our money, and which houses are the money makers.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

The first place to look for money in your charts is in the second house, the second house is what you’re born with, not what you’ve created or been given. It could mean immense wealth or assets – the house you live in, the gifts you were given, the skills you might have or knowledge or wisdom. It also stands for the security you have around you from an early life and how comfortable you were in that sense.
The next place to look is opposite the second house, in the eighth house which is ruled by Scorpio. This is about earning money, your salary. It’s also what you might inherit and the money you put in banks, a notional fund (ISA, savings, mortgage, etc). The money here is strategic, it's conceptual, it’s money that is working hard itself without you having to touch it. The eighth house is ruled by Pluto which is very much about evolve or die, it will force the money to change hands or move rather than sit and rot. There will be hidden complications here, like interest rates going up without you realising or paying a contract on a phone you don’t have.
Money in your chart will also come up in the tenth house, ruled by Capricorn. This is where you have or might have achievements or success and is where your goals are and where you’re heading to achieve those goals. Look at the beginning of the tenth house for the MC point to see where your career and you are heading in life, it signifies the highest point you might go. It’s a lifelong path as well as a karmic one and it’s quite tough, you have to work hard to make it happen but once you get there you’ll be the master.
You’ll also find money in your chart with Jupiter, which is about abundance and is not directly relatable to the charts and signs. This is where you go into excess too quickly and is why Jupiter is associated with addictions and falling into unhealthy habits. Wherever Jupiter is in your chart, things are going to come easily to you… maybe too easily and you’ll have to reign it in.

BEST MOMENTS
'We have to look at where Taurus is in your chart and what house does it rule to give us a clue to how you come by money. Taurus loves money, luxury and being comfortable, feasting and food.’
‘If you’re into the law of attraction, look at where Venus is in your chart and that’s your best way of attracting money.’
‘The banks have the power. In the eighth house it’s what money allows you to have power in.’
‘Millionaires don’t need astrologers but billionaires do – JP Morgan.’

America’s Pluto Return

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 23:00:00 +0100

This episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast, features the deeper meaning to America's Pluto’s return and why it will keep forcing evolution, even revolution through to next year.

The key dates for Pluto hitting this point go through to January 2024

Ann-Louise goes into detail about thenhistory of the Pluto return, since Rome was really the only empire to truly experience its cataclysmic effects. She then asks where does Pluto go on to next and how are we going to cope with it all?
KEY TAKEAWAYS

A return is when a planet comes all the way round the zodiac to where it was when you were born. America was born on the 4th July 1776 and Pluto was in Capricorn, it’s taken 246 years to go all the way around the zodiac – we call it a generational planet, even though it’s now a dwarf planet. It stays in each sign between 10 and 25 years so it’s felt by everyone in that generation.
Pluto was discovered in 1930 by an American and opened a real Pandora’s Box. In the 1930s we had the rise of fascism, the threat of communism, huge global depression, which was felt mostly by America – or at least most of the tales told of the depression came out of America. America suffered more because of the Dust Bowl Famine where people died and families were decimated. When it was discovered Pluto was in Cancer, it’s now in Capricorn for America’s birth chart.
The birth chart of a country is "mundane astrology", meaning 'mundial' or 'mundo' ie: 'of the world', so places, organisations and world events. People do not have a Pluto returns as we do not live that long, but countries do, and America is the only country in the modern era to have a Pluto return.
Capricorn is about success, structures that run lives, the grand hierarchy of things: business, business leaders, the patriarchy, the rulers, the governance and the ruling elite, our bosses, our careers, what we do for money, what goals we set ourselves. This is why America is a meritocracy where you can achieve anything and be successful (so it’s said) more so than in any other county. Now we have to look at the rot in these structures, what corruption, what is wrong, what’s really going on underneath that compost bucket of America.
The Roman Empire only lasted 2 Pluto Returns (around 500 years) with the abdication of Augustus which happened 9 years after the second Pluto return. That shows the effects of Pluto, it’ll show you what’s going on and bring out the effects from under the shadow and once you’ve brought it out, how do you put it all back in again? You have to pick up the pieces and make something new. Hopefully we won’t go through 50 years of civil war, like Rome, but there definitely is a collapse of the economy in some shape or form. We're in the middle of it now and I think there is going to be more of that. The whole Western world has to move, evolve or face destruction.

BEST MOMENTS
Pluto is so slow moving and its actions are so deep that we have to evolve and move with it. Pluto is concerned with the inside and how we’re evolving inside.’
‘Pluto is the dark lord of the underworld, he is the master of all things hidden and secret.’
‘It asks you to evolve or die, evolve or cast it away, change it or move on.’
‘If all men are free to prosper in America, how come it’s only the top 1-2% that are really, really prospering? There’s enough money for everyone to prosper. The ideals need to change.’

October Stars

Tue, 27 Sep 2022 23:00:00 +0100

On this episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast, Ann-Louise Holland talks about the stars for the month and what the planets are doing during October 2022, and it all looks quite good!
KEY TAKEAWAYS

We kick off October on the 2nd with Mercury, which is in Virgo, going to a station directly at 24 degrees Virgo – it’s a very precise place to be and is just finishing its retrograde. However, it's spending a few days here bang opposite Neptune, the mystical, floaty, wishy-washy planet which is in Pisces. They’re in powerful opposition. But it’s a really creative and helpful energy and it’s a good opportunity for creative projects, but also for healing.
On the 8th October Pluto also turns direct at 26 degrees Capricorn, and this has fascinated me because Pluto then really gives a power boost to any decisions that we’ve made when Mercury turns direct. Pluto has a karmic and deeper aspect that will supercharge anything that we create or decide to do within the first week of October. Within hours of Pluto turning direct, the Moon becomes full, and that’s full of impressive ego charges, it’s at 16 degrees Ares and is happening on the 9th. This will bring out your self-starting, ready, raring to go instigator with a personal forcefield. It will encourage personal growth over choosing nice and easy things.
The Sun and Venus are never less than 4 degrees apart in Libra for the whole of October. They really are trying to grab our attention, working on the platitudes and being charming. It will be really gratifying to be at the end of that, you can’t miss this opportunity to go in for something or someone to be doing that grafting for us to get our attention. Be slightly selfish around this Area full Moon, for sure.
On the 16th October Mercury leaves the shadow zone at 8 degrees. This means that whatever heart charms that have been swirling around are now free to go, you’re out of that karmic bind or narrative, you’ve got to where you are and you’re in a new area. But I don’t think they will because the Sun and Venus are still together in a really tight double-act. Firstly, they make a connection one to the other and then to Mars which is in Gemini which is about to go retrograde. After this they move on to 26 degrees in Libra and make a square to Pluto from the 17-20th October. There’s a crossroads here of delightful forces to power up what’s happening for you at the moment.

BEST MOMENTS
‘I’m a big fan of not fearing the Mercury retrograde because we get the chance to reconsider things, or re-do things, or look inwards instead of just blindly going full steam ahead. They are a necessity.’
‘Nothing acts more like an aphrodisiac than being told no. The Ares full Moon gives us the power to say that and work on ourselves.’
‘We’re going to experience this Libra season with extra hot sauce for our romance. This is a really nice time to rekindle relationships (romantic or friendships) or get in touch with what you want yourself.’
‘While you might be having fun there are karmic wheels turning somewhere. What can we do but to follow our senses? Go with it.

Love Is In The Air

Tue, 20 Sep 2022 23:00:00 +0100

On this episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast, Ann-Louise talks about the last half of September. After the beginning of the month that was dominated by the Pisces full Moon and Mercury going retrograde which created love factors to increase the benefits of romance, self-appreciation, beauty, and wealth-making.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

The September equinox happens on the 22nd/23rd, and means it’s equal day and night – the Earth is coming back into balance. It also happens that the Sun is moving into Libra and Libra is the sign of perfect balance and harmony, especially in love relationships. Both the Sun and Mercury in retrograde are reaching 0 degrees in Libra at the same time – a cazimi. The 0 degree of any sign is the kick start to all the things that are relevant to that sign, so this means love and romance.
This is a fantastic day for love and it will happen no matter what sign you are and what's happening. It’s like a door opening for romance for anyone, an opportunity to say or be reminded of how you feel.
There is also an opportunity to delve into the financial side of things, the things that we value – art, beauty, things that really mean a lot to us – in that sense there’s an opportunity to really re-evaluate what we have and why we’re creating it. How are we creating money for ourselves? How could your wealth be used in a better way?
If you’re in for increasing your romantic side in any way, I would suggest getting a honey jar together and really putting all your love essence into it. You give the honey a job to do, you put it in the jar, you put some cinnamon in there and say you want it to warm this up, put coffee in there to speed it up and you put your top 3 guys/girls in there and create something that really becomes your attractor – you become the honey.
‘Be the flame, not the moth. This is what this day is all about.’

BEST MOMENTS
‘The cazimi happens when Mercury or Venus (the only planets that travel between Earth and the Sun) are in retrograde. That planet suddenly takes on the supersized factor and power of the Sun but for their themes.’
‘I’ve heard, through various channels, that the 23rd September is supposed to be some special day, there are huge potentials around this day because people are saying something big is going to happen – without looking at astrology, I’ve seen memes about the 23rd September.’
‘Our financial systems are all coming into line, the Pound, the Dollar and the Euro are virtually in line anyway but others are not, so it would take a lot for them to come in line so everyone had the same currency. It would be a really good day to have the debate about withdrawing from the Central Bank’s digital currency and go back to the Gold Standard which Russia and China have done.’

Queen Elizabeth II Chart

Tue, 13 Sep 2022 23:00:00 +0100

This episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast, focuses the recent death of Queen Elizabeth II and how the Pisces Full Moon allows us to have the full expression of grief, which has surprised some people, who consider themselves anti-royal. This is the Moon's energy and the group consciousness around what the Queen's death defines as the end of an era.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

My father worked at Buckingham Palace as a policeman and he knew the Queen, in the sense that he had conversations with her. He guarded the door outside her bedroom (she had a nice thick carpet). He spoke with her about her plants and her gardening occasionally. He had enormous respect for her - although he didn’t have the same respect for all of the Royal Family. I’ve written about the astrology of the royals for magazines like Hello Magazine and the national press in the UK so I am familiar with their individual and group stories.
Whilst the Queen died as the Moon was waxing to fullness, the new King was proclaimed at exactly 11am on Saturday exactly as the Moon became full. At the same time, Mercury just happened to turn retrograde. This creates a combination of huge sorrow and out-pouring and end of times, but also Mercury has the ability to take us into a beautiful remembrance because it was in Libra and Mercury in Libra can enhance our sentimentality and give is some fond memories about this era.
We know there are huge changes happening and there’s big predictions being told about where humanity is going at the moment, especially as we’ve just come through the pandemic and lockdown and many other things we never thought we’d see in our lifetimes happening. There’s been predictions of a global recession happening, saying we’re in the middle of ‘the great reset’ or ‘the end of times’ or ‘the great awakening’ and the age of Aquarius is coming even before you look at the astrology where we’re moving from 3D consciousness into 5D and that the whole universe is watching planet Earth to see what happens. The Queen's death is deeply connected to these events, astrologically, so we can see how she defines this era.

BEST MOMENTS

‘This is the death of an icon and the death of an era. She’s deeply in our psyche, so you don’t have to feel embarrassed if you’re feeling the loss or grief too.’

‘We are star-seeds and each of us comes from different stars or a blend of star systems to come and have a human life here. The Queen is from the Draco soul line which likes to take the power from Earth, keep us all enslaved and work to feed their dark agenda.’

‘Virgo ruled her 8th house, and we know the Queen was famously frugal, she was never excessive with money and that’s such a Virgo thing. She was the Queen that said I’m going to start paying taxes. Though the devil might be in the details and there might be some more to be revealed.’

Mars’ Retrograde

Thu, 08 Sep 2022 23:00:00 +0100

On this episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast, Ann-Louise Holland talks about Mars moving into Gemini on the 19th August and will stay there for 7 months, until the 24th March 2023 – an inordinate amount of time – we need to take notice. Mars is also going retrograde which we don’t always notice, but will have major effects and consequences.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Mars spending 7 months Gemini is really extraordinary as Mars takes two years to go around the whole zodiac. We need to be aware of what effect it’s having on us, what we can do about it and how we can use it to our best advantage.
Mars in Gemini is exciting because it involves the media and Mars will power up everything it goes into. We’re going to want to look at the newspapers as well as the new ways we look at and digest our media, like social media and podcasts, as well as the way we communicate with each other. This includes flirting, so dating apps too. Travel is also affected, so the way we commute, the new rules for cyclists. It could also affect our irritations and frustrations, Mars in Gemini really knows how to press your buttons, so remember to stay cool.
When Mars goes retrograde suddenly we don’t have the energy we did before, suddenly we haven’t got the time or inclination to juggle all the things we usually do and things fall away. What you’re then left with is the diamond, exactly what you need to be focussing on. It’s like sharpening a pencil, or boiling things down to what is important for us and what really requires our total control or attention.
What can we do about things, because we are going to be triggered. We might need to learn new responses to the things that trigger us and how to keep cool. Perhaps we need to learn to stay quiet and listen?

BEST MOMENTS

‘Use the energy rather than have it use you.’

‘Just like Mercury goes retrograde three times a year, Mars goes retrograde every two years for three months starting around Halloween. This could be quite scary, but we can use this as a good clean out and set new priorities.’

‘Mars is the male aspect, so potentially we have the idea of men losing power or not having opportunities. Perhaps men transitioning to women can no longer compete in women’s sports? Or a specifically trans category they can compete in?’

``We need to look back at stuff, re-read and look at old ideas and maybe start that darn book that we’ve been promising to write ourselves – perhaps it’s a film, photography or art as well, something that helps us communicate and something we wanna communicate.’

September Stars

Thu, 01 Sep 2022 23:06:00 +0100

On this episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast, Ann-Louise Holland talks about what’s going on in the stars in September 2022. It’s a game of two halves in a really incredible month, the first is a dance off between Mercury and Mars which will be quite an exciting start to the month. The second half has plenty of action in Libra which will be good for relationships and wealth.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The first week in September, Mars has just recently come into Gemini and it’s made a square with the new Moon in Virgo at the end of August. It’s already quite feisty and he’ll stay in Gemini for the next 7 months. Mars is slightly crazy and unbounded against Virgo’s very precise and careful so this means things will happen. Together with Mercury it will be quite fun, but things could get a bit too outrageous.
Mars will enter the shadow zone of its retrograde and 8 degrees on the 3rd September. Whenever a planet enters its shadow zone you have to become aware of what’s going on around you, within those themes, that is going to take a bit of a journey at some point. Mars is going to connect with Gemini’s shadow twin which is the side Gemini likes to hide and gloss over: a lie could go the wrong way and turn sinister.
On 10 September, Mercury starts to retrograde in Libra but it’s also retrograding from the 8 degree period point. Both are starting their retrograde action at the same point, they’re somehow twinned. Any planets at 8 degrees – or 7 or 9 as well – are really going to get dragged into this debacle. We’re really going to have to reconsider and re-look at some of the things around that. Things will fall into your lap that you will have to give extra thought to during this period.
Libra is about relationships, maybe we’ll need to reconsider a past relationship. Maybe someone – a past love – walks in (not physically, perhaps) and maybe there comes a wave of emotion knowing about that. Or, someone who has all their traits (who you need to heal from) comes along, there’s a huge opportunity for healing in this which maybe won’t be as painful this time round, it’s an opportunity for to respond differently, not get triggered and see how this person is operating so you can look at how you operated and can learn and heal from it. There will also be money-making opportunities too.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I have quite a cracking month to get through, which is good news and makes a change for the disaster and destruction that has been going on lately.’

‘Mars and Mercury are having “flanter” (flirty banter), they’re dancing, it’s good news.’

‘When you study planets as long as I do, you realise that there’s always a full moon or new moon, this time the full moon in Pisces, something’s always happening around the beginnings of Mercury’s retrograde that gives it a bit of an edge.’

‘There’s so much confusion within Neptune that we just have to surrender. Once we’ve surrendered we can allow it to take us there because it also delivers a certain amount of magic, serendipity and glamour that we can’t create ourselves.’

Mars, Uranus, North Node Conjunction

Thu, 01 Sep 2022 23:05:00 +0100

On this episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast your host, Ann-Louise Holland, talks about the Mars, Uranus, North Node Conjunction that is happening in Taurus and how it’s the most epic aspect of the whole of 2022.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

This conjunction has the same feel as Jupiter. Saturn conjunction at the start of the pandemic. It’s happening in Taurus which rules fertility, sex, our bodies, the physicality of ourselves and mother Earth and all her riches including farming, minerals, nutrition and animals. But it also goes into riches, greed and money too.
A square aspect – which this will be when the Leo Sun joins it in the middle of August – is challenging, it forces some kind of action, it’s like a boost or a frisson that happens. Then a shift will happen when the Moon, in conjunction with Saturn forms a ‘T-square’ which may make us think of doing something for humanity or society rather than ourselves.
Uranus was discovered in 1781 which was a huge period of emancipation and focus on freedom for the living man, especially since it just passed the American revolution. There were really strong themes about self-determination when Uranus came to our consciousness. Like last time Uranus was in Taurus was in 1935-42 where there was dramatic scarcity and poverty going on. Because Taurus is linked to farming there was the dust bowl farming famine where industrial farming ideas took all the grassland away from the plains and the dust came up and you couldn’t farm the land, seeds wouldn’t take and there was 100 million acres of ruined farmland. Look what we have now with huge problems with food supply chains.
Last time we had this rare triple conjunction in Taurus in 1855. In May 1855 the Crimean War took place between the French and English (the Allies) against Russia. Hello? History is circular, here we are at war with Russia again. The Crimean War is described as a pointless war with huge loss of lives where the British fought Russia out of resentment, and I do feel there’s resentment coming on about repressing the Russian ideal which is different from our own. This current war feels like it’s against Russia rather than for Ukraine. This triple conjunction has brought us round to the same ideas.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We’re going to keep getting these hits of enlightenment, awareness, becoming conscious of things to do with those subjects and sometimes it will be a tussle.’

‘Uranus is a crazy planet, it’s unpredictable and sometimes it brings some kind of curve ball into our lives, good surprises as well as shockers. On the day it turns retrograde (24th) it can be a little bit chaotic.’

‘New tech, like nuclear fusion and 5G, doesn’t come in until our consciousness is ready to claim it. There’s probably a lot more tech than we realise but it hasn’t been given to consumers because of how it can be useful for nefarious means.’

‘During the pandemic the 10 richest men doubled their fortunes, energy companies are making massive profits while energy bills are tripling and quadrupling. We’ve got to understand that an audacious theft is going on right before our eyes.’

August Stars

Thu, 01 Sep 2022 23:04:00 +0100

On this episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast your host, Ann-Louise Holland, explains the August stars for 2022 which kicks off with the biggest aspect of the year, between Mars, the North Node and Taurus, the effects of which will last for the first two weeks of August.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Mars is hugely dynamic, can cut things off, can cut through things, can see the certainty in things and adds a huge dynamic thrust. Uranus has been in Taurus now since May 2018 and is edging is way closer to Taurus, whereas the North Node (where the Moon crossed the elliptic) has only been in Taurus for six months and is coming the other way, because it works backwards, so they ‘re slowly converging. This is about the earth and farming, our physical bodies, our fertility and sexuality.
When the North Node comes along it’s like a doorway we can open and if there’s planets around it or things happening at the North Node, sure, you’re going to go through. But if there isn’t it might take more effort. But with Uranus around it’s going to blow the bloody doors off! Especially now Mars is joining these two. I’m expecting some explosions.
The Great Train Robbery took place in August 1963 where huge amounts of gold bullion was stolen worth millions today. It was completely audacious. Its Taurus theme was that the robbers took the gold (it’s so Taurean – or Leo – physical gold) out of the safe and put lead back inside so when it was weighed it would always weigh the same. The reason they got caught was that they got the weights wrong. It’s such a Taruean thing, the weight of the minerals from the earth. I was thinking just how much we’re having a robbery now of our fertility and body autonomy or paying for a war that could be preventable, not to mention governments around the world stealing land off farmers.
The asteroid Niobe was joining this triple conjunction. Mythically, Niobe had seven daughters and seven sons, she boasted to whoever would listen that she had these wonderful children, and the gods came and took each one from her and they were killed so now, in myth, she sits on a rock weeping for her lost children. In Taurus this is absolutely going on in the nutrition that we give our children, we are sexualising them too early, taking their body autonomy and saying they can be a different gender and there’s a whole lot of confusion around that with Uranus’ rule of confusion, they’re not connected to nature, they’re in front of screens much more than any generation before them.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Uranus is the enlightenment planet, he comes along and gives us curve balls, changes direction and is a crazy, disruptive planet to deal with when it comes to give you a transit. It really does push things around.’

‘The last time these three aspects converged was in May 1855 during the Crimean War between the French and English (the Allies) against Russia. Does that ring any bells?’

‘Basing a currency on gold or other precious minerals, like China and Russia are doing, encourages people to go mining for them. That happened on the 1st of August.’

‘The Leo Sun wants to ignite our passion and interest in one or all of the things I’ve been talking about so people get interested and want to do something about it, like an “I’m Spartacus” moment.’

July Stars

Thu, 01 Sep 2022 23:03:00 +0100

On this episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast your host, Ann-Louise Holland, explains why this month's stars will ‘blow the bloody doors off!’, not just because of the North Node meeting Uranus, meeting Mars at the end of the month. We start the month with a real door-slamming entrance because Mars is the god of war, god of sex, knows what to do, knows where he’s going, comes with a sword, really good at cutting things off, really getting through to the nub of things. He makes a challenging square aspect to Pluto, the other maleficent.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Mars really likes to take action, so when it hits Pluto like this it could be the push we all need to get out of a situation, to say something, to say something, to really say I’m leaving and this is the push that pushes me over the edge.
Mercury moved into Cancer, which is a much softer, empathetic sign. It’s also the feminine, so it’s an opportunity to use and start speaking in software terms and start getting ideas to get what you want.
Mars moves into Taurus (meaning the Earth, our bodies and also to connect with what’s happening later in the month where Mars joins both Uranus and the North Node in this explosive conjunction happening on the 31st or the 1st August.
It’s like the full moon is sending a moonbeam right down to Pluto in the underworld of the business and corporate and political and medical worlds, to look at all the darkness of all that’s going on like the Hammer House of Horror with the bats flying around it like the White House, 10 Downing Street, Bank HQs, etc.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Although these are two very dark and often connected to the shadows and can leave places – Mars can be like a knife – they can be an opportunity to get out of somewhere.’

‘The self-talk you give yourself can be levelled to be much kinder self-talk within these really hard times.’

‘On 11th July America had its Pluto return, the second hit of three. This means that in February Pluto came back around to where it was when the founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776.’

‘How brave are we? Have we just become compliant and allowing and following rather than brave. How free are we?’

June Stars

Thu, 01 Sep 2022 23:02:00 +0100

On this episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast your host, Ann-Louise Holland, explains why this month's stars are not to be feared, despite it involving the most evil demon star in the heavens, Algol. For 10 days Mercury is retrograding and sitting right on Algol, and this is quite unusual.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Mercury being the trickster, it isn’t really clear what we’re looking at, and of course there are a lot of things we’re looking at in terms of our social and political environment, and a lot of people are fixing their ideas to one theme, but actually it’s multi-layered.
In the corporate or political world someone is going to get a beheading – to lose their head – meaning they’re going to be on the top of a bank/a political institution/a corporate entity and the top of that head is going to be lost.
Algol is a star in Medusa’s hair, and Medusa was he maiden in the temple of Athena who was raped by one of the gods and Athena was jealous… thought there are stories that Medusa desecrated the temple by enticing one of the gods to sleep with her on the steps of the temple. We’re told this through a patriarchal sense that all women who do this and strayed are the temptress. Or was she actually raped and this was why Athena was jealous. Either way, Medusa was cursed.
You’ll find that most healers have something on Algol, or Chiron and Algol, that there is a message here the even though you go through many trials, what or how you show up as, and by keeping true to yourself, that you turn up and be the saviour.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Algol is the evillest star in the heavens and its theme is death by decapitation. In antiquity, it was only those that died honourably that were allowed to be beheaded.’

‘A beheading was done in a spiritual way in that when the head leaves the body it takes what it knows into a more spiritual dimension and what remains in the body stays on earth to be regenerated within the Karmic loop.’

‘We have to look in the mirror, not only at what is behind us but at ourselves and see what we might be causing within our lives. What have we brought to ourselves and how might we see what we’ve created?’

‘If we are cursed, maybe the curse goes back on the person that was trying to inflict it on us. In this case we have to be impeccable about what we think about other people. Are we unwittingly cursing someone by speaking bad about them or thinking bad thoughts about them.’

2022 Stars For The Year

Thu, 01 Sep 2022 23:01:00 +0100

On this episode of the Venus & Vesta podcast, Ann-Louise explains the year’s aspect for 2022. There are plenty of opportunities to make this year fantastic and plenty of really strident dynamics to get through.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

This whole premise starts in 2020 with the Pluto/Saturn conjunct which were joined by Jupiter – a huge conjunction between three giants in Capricorn, which represents the old ways. Pluto showed what is hidden Underneath, Saturn the more manifest, hidden, hierarchical world and Jupiter coming along and expanding everything. That, of course gave us the pandemic and we were carried down a corridor of their making because of a toxin or virus that is so Pultonic.
Pluto represents the hidden and is coming to the end of Capricorn, so here he really is in urgency to change the structures of the world, the political, the business, the commercial structures and with Jupiter and Saturn helping him this has blown the whole thing open. I wrote at the end of 2019, ready for 2020, that we would talk about that January as a before and after (pre and post), and then someone wrote that the astrologers didn’t predict this, but hello! You obviously haven’t been reading astrology because most of us predicted that something really cataclysmic was happening.
In February 2022 we have APDM (All Planets in Direct Motion), which works from February to May, so there’s a rush of activity and motion in those first few months of 2022. But, it means it goes forward but unchecked, which doesn’t allow us to pause and really consider and refine.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Pluto works in the underworld and Pluto is there exposing how the world’s structures operate by showing that we are all connected by this little virus.’

‘We’re now, at the end of 2021, with Venus in retrograde of Capricorn, which is looking at what we value, how we structure our money: are we going to go into the central bank, are we going to go crypto, are we going to go back to the gold standard and how much money does the government have?’

‘We’ve got 18 months of issues such as certain governments being in control of the food supply in 2022 with the North Node in Taurus.’
