ep 13 | january 2023 astrology forecast and why you may want to stay flexible with those new year’s resolutions

Speaker: 00:00:02

Hello, hello, hello, happy new year.

Speaker: 00:00:05

Happy 2023.

Speaker: 00:00:07

Welcome back to It's Astrological.

Speaker: 00:00:10

I'm your host Lynette.

Speaker: 00:00:12

I'm the founder of cosmic moves astrology.

Speaker: 00:00:14

And I'm so happy to be in your ears today, whether you're listening to this.

Speaker: 00:00:21

In real time when it comes out in January or some other time, it is

Speaker: 00:00:25

the perfect time to be together.

Speaker: 00:00:28

Our time here in this cozy cosmically chic corner of the internet.

Speaker: 00:00:35

Is all about taking a look at astrology through the lens of self care and using

Speaker: 00:00:42

the magic of astrology to understand.

Speaker: 00:00:45

Ourselves and the world around us and just have a little bit

Speaker: 00:00:51

of context to what's going on.

Speaker: 00:00:53

And I'm super excited because this episode is the first of many.

Speaker: 00:01:00

with a new take on forecasts.

Speaker: 00:01:04

And astrology forecasts.

Speaker: 00:01:05

And the month ahead.

Speaker: 00:01:07

For those of you who have been following me for a while.

Speaker: 00:01:11

I have a newsletter called the constellation.

Speaker: 00:01:14

I am on a bit of a hiatus right now, but I usually send it out

Speaker: 00:01:17

every Sunday and every Sunday it has some sort of astrological forecast.

Speaker: 00:01:23

And I'm going to make a confession right now.

Speaker: 00:01:25

That, that was always the hardest part of the newsletter.

Speaker: 00:01:28

And oftentimes it's the part that made me not want to write the newsletter.

Speaker: 00:01:32

And it's not because I don't think forecasts are important.

Speaker: 00:01:37

Otherwise I wouldn't be recording this podcast right now.

Speaker: 00:01:42

But it's because I just personally don't really like doing horoscopes.

Speaker: 00:01:48

And there are also a million astrologers out there who do it way better than I do.

Speaker: 00:01:55

And who love it.

Speaker: 00:01:56

Including my dear friend, Dana from self-help witch, who.

Speaker: 00:02:02

I am now doing this series of forecast podcasts with.

Speaker: 00:02:05

And it's so much more fun and it makes it so much easier for me to talk

Speaker: 00:02:08

about the energies and what's ahead.

Speaker: 00:02:11

And we talk about in this episode, I'm going through a bit of an

Speaker: 00:02:15

astrological Renaissance myself.

Speaker: 00:02:18

I have really kind of fallen off the habit of paying attention to any astrology.

Speaker: 00:02:27

Um, and it's an interesting perspective because I'm getting back into it and

Speaker: 00:02:32

I'm reconnecting to my passion for it.

Speaker: 00:02:34

And that's what I hope to share with all of you, because whether

Speaker: 00:02:38

you're experienced or not.

Speaker: 00:02:40

this is kind of.

Speaker: 00:02:42

My way of dipping my toe back in, and I hope to be able to share that with

Speaker: 00:02:46

you to make astrology more accessible and not confusing and not overwhelming.

Speaker: 00:02:51

So.

Speaker: 00:02:53

Dana and I talk about new years and what it means and what it doesn't mean.

Speaker: 00:03:00

You will also learn that I am not a big fan of the Gregorian calendar new year.

Speaker: 00:03:06

Not because it's not important because it's a collective energy

Speaker: 00:03:09

of everyone being together on the same page and it's so full of hope

Speaker: 00:03:13

and optimism, and I love that part.

Speaker: 00:03:15

Um, but there are astrological reasons why I'm a fan of other personal new years.

Speaker: 00:03:21

And we also talk about the major transits, which is what one would

Speaker: 00:03:26

expect from a forecast episode.

Speaker: 00:03:28

So we're talking retrogrades, we're talking planets changing signs.

Speaker: 00:03:32

And overall, we just had a really good time.

Speaker: 00:03:37

It's not too serious.

Speaker: 00:03:38

It's not too technical.

Speaker: 00:03:40

And I hope it's helpful to you as we embark on this month where we're

Speaker: 00:03:46

all feeling the energy of just starting fresh and making a plan.

Speaker: 00:03:53

And it's almost a little bit of that, like, Virgo back to school

Speaker: 00:03:58

vibe where you're like, okay, I'm going to get my stuff together.

Speaker: 00:04:00

I'm going to just put everything in order.

Speaker: 00:04:04

And then we talk about why if you feel like that's not working for you.

Speaker: 00:04:08

That's okay.

Speaker: 00:04:09

Because that's what the planetary energies are encouraging you to do is to revise

Speaker: 00:04:15

and to take another look and to come back and revisit everything at a later date.

Speaker: 00:04:20

It's okay.

Speaker: 00:04:21

If you weren't hitting the January 1st goals within the first month of january.

Speaker: 00:04:25

Don't worry about it.

Speaker: 00:04:26

No stress.

Speaker: 00:04:27

So.

Speaker: 00:04:28

Off we go, here we go.

Speaker: 00:04:30

We're going to talk about January.

Speaker: 00:04:32

Wishing you.

Speaker: 00:04:34

Uh, super.

Speaker: 00:04:36

Happy fulfilling, productive.

Speaker: 00:04:41

Um, goal oriented.

Speaker: 00:04:44

What other Capricorn word's going to use.

Speaker: 00:04:46

Just wishing you a great January.

Speaker: 00:04:49

I'll be back in a couple of weeks with another episode.

Speaker: 00:04:52

we're getting back into the flow of things.

Speaker: 00:04:54

That's what Capricorn season is for to get us back on the path.

Speaker: 00:04:58

Get me back on the path that I'm going to speak from the I here.

Speaker: 00:05:00

And I'm just so grateful to be back with you all.

Speaker: 00:05:04

So please enjoy this episode.

Speaker: 00:05:07

If you find it helpful, if you find it amusing.

Speaker: 00:05:12

If you think one of your friends would benefit from hearing what the energies

Speaker: 00:05:17

of this month have in store, please share, please DM me or Dana on Instagram.

Speaker: 00:05:25

I am at cosmic.moves.

Speaker: 00:05:27

She is at selfhelpwitch and we're just getting started here.

Speaker: 00:05:31

So we would love to hear what you think love to hear what you

Speaker: 00:05:33

want to hear more of love to hear what you want to hear less of.

Speaker: 00:05:36

We're totally open to it all.

Speaker: 00:05:38

So wishing you happy rest of capricorn season start of

Speaker: 00:05:42

aquarius season and here we go

Dana: 00:05:46

All right everyone.

Dana: 00:05:47

I am Dana with Self-Help Witch, and

Lynnette: 00:05:50

I am Lynette from Cosmic Moves Astrology.

Dana: 00:05:53

And we are here doing a little team effort to bring you the key energies

Dana: 00:05:59

astrologically for January of 2023.

Dana: 00:06:03

We thought it would be really fun to do a joint venture with this.

Lynnette: 00:06:08

Yeah, and I think I'm the one who proposed it because I.

Lynnette: 00:06:12

Don't like doing horoscopes.

Lynnette: 00:06:16

and my sweet Dana here put in so much work with her 2023 Astro Planner, which

Lynnette: 00:06:22

you can buy from her website that I was like, Hey, can I hop on your gravy

Lynnette: 00:06:29

train and , just do a podcast with you?

Lynnette: 00:06:32

So I don't have to do horoscopes in my newsletter, but I am just

Lynnette: 00:06:35

super excited because I think that.

Lynnette: 00:06:39

fun to talk to somebody who knows about astrology, but

Lynnette: 00:06:43

who you're also friends with.

Lynnette: 00:06:45

So you can talk about real life things that align with Astrological energies.

Dana: 00:06:50

Yes.

Dana: 00:06:50

Yeah.

Dana: 00:06:51

You guys listening may not know.

Dana: 00:06:53

Lynnette and I are astro pals.

Dana: 00:06:55

We talk like every two weeks.

Dana: 00:06:57

Mm-hmm.

Lynnette: 00:06:58

and we just, but we text a lot in between.

Dana: 00:07:00

That's true.

Dana: 00:07:01

Like, we're like actually friends . Yes.

Dana: 00:07:03

So, but we both obviously practice astrology too, so.

Dana: 00:07:08

. I think it's gonna be useful for everybody, but also fun too.

Dana: 00:07:13

Should

Lynnette: 00:07:13

we dive into what's going on in January?

Lynnette: 00:07:17

Yes.

Dana: 00:07:18

Yeah, we got kind of a theme going.

Dana: 00:07:20

Do you wanna talk about it?

Lynnette: 00:07:22

Yeah.

Lynnette: 00:07:23

I think in general, when I look at a month ahead, the things that

Lynnette: 00:07:29

stick out to me are retrograde.

Lynnette: 00:07:33

Or when planets are stationing direct and when planets are changing signs.

Lynnette: 00:07:37

I think those two areas are things that we collectively feel a shift in the

Lynnette: 00:07:43

energy, and then even more so if you know where those are happening in your chart,

Lynnette: 00:07:47

that just gives you more information.

Lynnette: 00:07:48

But when you know when we're gonna have these kind of bigger, energetic shifts,

Lynnette: 00:07:54

it just allows you to understand why the world feels the way it does around those.

Dana: 00:08:01

A hundred percent.

Dana: 00:08:02

And I think it like when you're trying to get a feel for the month

Dana: 00:08:06

ahead, that's, those are really good like anchor points because there's

Dana: 00:08:10

so much happening all the time.

Dana: 00:08:12

It's easy to get lost and like, unless you're looking at the transits

Dana: 00:08:16

with your actual birth chart, it's probably best to just focus on

Dana: 00:08:22

the ingress, is the lunar cycle.

Dana: 00:08:26

And then as you said, you know, stationing, director,

Dana: 00:08:29

retrograde, those kinds of things.

Lynnette: 00:08:32

Yeah, and I think, you know, we've talked about this, not on this.

Lynnette: 00:08:37

Four minutes of this podcast, but I personally have been really struggling

Lynnette: 00:08:41

with keeping up with astrology and you know, as an astrologer that has

Lynnette: 00:08:45

like been an identity crisis for me

Lynnette: 00:08:48

So I'm with everyone who either is just learning or who also has kind of fallen

Lynnette: 00:08:54

off tracking what's going on in the stars and all of that stuff where it's

Lynnette: 00:08:58

like, okay, where can I kind of jump back in without it being a big deal?

Lynnette: 00:09:05

Or stressful or overwhelming or any of that stuff.

Lynnette: 00:09:09

And like you said, these are anchor points.

Lynnette: 00:09:11

Like these are the big shifts that will impact everybody to differing degrees.

Lynnette: 00:09:17

And I can keep track of five days in a month like , I can work with that.

Dana: 00:09:24

Right, right.

Dana: 00:09:26

Yeah.

Dana: 00:09:26

We've got, it's an interesting month, I think, because there's

Dana: 00:09:29

three planets stationing direct.

Lynnette: 00:09:32

Mm.

Lynnette: 00:09:34

. Well, you can tell we're leaving retrograde season.

Lynnette: 00:09:36

That's what that tells me.

Lynnette: 00:09:37

. Mm-hmm.

Lynnette: 00:09:38

. Mm-hmm.

Lynnette: 00:09:38

. Dana: Yeah.

Lynnette: 00:09:38

I'm not mad about it.

Lynnette: 00:09:40

It's a nice time.

Lynnette: 00:09:41

You know, at the beginning of January, and we're gonna probably publish this

Lynnette: 00:09:44

right at the beginning of January.

Lynnette: 00:09:46

So if you already like set your New Year's resolutions, your

Lynnette: 00:09:50

intentions, you know, you might change your mind , and that's okay.

Lynnette: 00:09:55

Like it's okay to change your mind.

Lynnette: 00:09:58

It's kind of, we're still in flux here at the beginning of the

Lynnette: 00:10:00

month as things start to station.

Lynnette: 00:10:03

. Lynnette: Yeah, and I think, you

Lynnette: 00:10:08

call it a pressure, but like social event, collective idea that we have

Lynnette: 00:10:13

to start the new year on January 1st, which is really kind of arbitrary if

Lynnette: 00:10:17

you're talking about the Gregorian calendar and all of that stuff.

Lynnette: 00:10:20

I am a firm believer that my personal New year, which starts on

Lynnette: 00:10:25

my birthday, is more impactful for me just from a Astrological perspective

Lynnette: 00:10:29

and how I feel about it, but I.

Lynnette: 00:10:32

There is something to the fact that we move from Sagittarius season, which is,

Lynnette: 00:10:37

you know, up until about Christmas, but like that whole time when people are

Lynnette: 00:10:43

putting up Christmas lights and thinking about parties and the optimism of a new

Lynnette: 00:10:47

year starting and wrapping up the year.

Lynnette: 00:10:49

And then you move into Capricorn season, which is very much around setting goals

Lynnette: 00:10:54

and figuring out what mountain you wanna climb and you know, all of that stuff.

Lynnette: 00:10:58

But then we move into, Aquarius season at the end of January, which I think allows

Lynnette: 00:11:04

you to get a bit of perspective, right?

Lynnette: 00:11:06

It, it lifts you up to that 30,000 foot view.

Lynnette: 00:11:09

And Aquarius is the observer of the Zodiac.

Lynnette: 00:11:12

So even if you do align with the January 1st goal setting and all that

Lynnette: 00:11:18

stuff, entering into Aquarius season is almost a second chance to be.

Lynnette: 00:11:22

, hold on, let me like take a step back.

Lynnette: 00:11:25

Did I set goals the way that I wanted to do, I wanna revise

Lynnette: 00:11:29

them, like all of that stuff.

Lynnette: 00:11:31

And so it may kind of take a little bit of that pressure off.

Dana: 00:11:36

Totally.

Dana: 00:11:36

Yeah.

Dana: 00:11:36

I love that.

Dana: 00:11:37

And starting with your birthday as like your personal new year, and then I know

Dana: 00:11:42

you also treat the Equinox like a lot of.

Dana: 00:11:46

In this space do like a new year as well, so, mm-hmm.

Dana: 00:11:49

, you know, go ahead and set your intentions if you want, on January 1st, and then

Dana: 00:11:53

let it be okay if they change and let it be okay if new stuff comes up that makes

Dana: 00:11:58

you wanna recalibrate as we move through Aquarius season and into the Equinox.

Lynnette: 00:12:04

We have all the chances in the world.

Lynnette: 00:12:06

Like there is no, nobody is telling you, you have to make your goals on

Lynnette: 00:12:10

January 1st and keep them all year, because I think we all know that those

Lynnette: 00:12:14

goals usually don't stick according to data or whoever decides that according

Dana: 00:12:21

to data and every uh, new Year's resolution I've ever had in my life,

Lynnette: 00:12:27

So give yourself grace.

Lynnette: 00:12:28

The cosmos are aligning with.

Lynnette: 00:12:31

Becoming the best version of you all the way throughout the year.

Lynnette: 00:12:34

It's not a a one and done kind of thing.

Lynnette: 00:12:38

Love it.

Dana: 00:12:39

So what's on the docket?

Dana: 00:12:41

What are we tracking in January?

Lynnette: 00:12:44

Okay, so we have three planets, stationing,

Lynnette: 00:12:50

direct, Mercury, Mars, and Uran.

Lynnette: 00:12:55

, Mercury and Mars are what we call personal planets because they impact

Lynnette: 00:13:00

us more in our personal charts.

Lynnette: 00:13:02

When they station retrograde or direct.

Lynnette: 00:13:07

Then Uranus is an outer planet, which doesn't impact us as directly

Lynnette: 00:13:13

while it's retrograde, but we may feel it more personally around

Lynnette: 00:13:17

the time that it's stations.

Lynnette: 00:13:20

Around that stations retrograde or direct is Mercury retrograde right

Lynnette: 00:13:23

now because I cannot get my work done.

Dana: 00:13:26

It will be when we publish,

Lynnette: 00:13:27

but yes, , so we have that and then we have the Sun will

Lynnette: 00:13:32

be in Capricorn and then it'll move into Aquarius at the end of January.

Lynnette: 00:13:37

And then Venus is just zipping along because she is moving into Aquarius and

Lynnette: 00:13:43

Pisces all within the month of January.

Dana: 00:13:47

It's a lot of movement, a lot of shifting.

Dana: 00:13:51

I guess that's all I had to say about that.

Dana: 00:13:53

. Lynnette: Great.

Dana: 00:13:54

Moving on,

Dana: 00:13:56

. Dana: It's a lot of shifting the end.

Lynnette: 00:13:58

Yes.

Lynnette: 00:13:58

Goodbye everybody.

Lynnette: 00:13:59

Thank you for listening.

Lynnette: 00:14:02

. Okay, well, why don't we start with Mercury?

Lynnette: 00:14:04

Yeah, let's start with Mercury.

Lynnette: 00:14:05

Okay.

Lynnette: 00:14:05

Because I feel like everyone.

Lynnette: 00:14:09

knows about Mercury slash worries about it being retrograde

Dana: 00:14:13

Yes.

Dana: 00:14:13

Uh, we will be in prime, like Mercury retrograde freakout, I

Dana: 00:14:17

think when this gets published, yes.

Dana: 00:14:20

Don't listen to the hype guys.

Dana: 00:14:22

I love Mercury Retrogrades and maybe that's, I don't know, maybe

Dana: 00:14:26

that's just a personal thing.

Dana: 00:14:27

I know that things can get bamboozled and weird, but they

Dana: 00:14:34

ultimately are really helpful.

Dana: 00:14:36

It's just like any other.

Dana: 00:14:38

I don't know, mishap or confusion, those things need to come up so

Dana: 00:14:44

that you can figure something out.

Dana: 00:14:46

So don't be afraid of it.

Dana: 00:14:48

Just let it happen.

Dana: 00:14:50

It's gonna happen like regardless of if you're scared of it or not, but

Dana: 00:14:53

you might as well just be open to it and see what you can uncover that

Dana: 00:14:59

you wouldn't have noticed before.

Lynnette: 00:15:01

Yeah.

Lynnette: 00:15:01

Rick Levine says this, but they're a chance for us to get things right.

Lynnette: 00:15:06

Any retrograde, because a retrograde is, is crossing the same part of the

Lynnette: 00:15:10

sky and or your chart three times.

Lynnette: 00:15:13

So the first time it goes across it before it stations, it's giving you

Lynnette: 00:15:18

clues as to what's gonna come up during that time so that you know

Lynnette: 00:15:21

what you're gonna be working on when it's stations and starts to move back.

Lynnette: 00:15:26

That's your time to be like, okay, what came up for me during this time

Lynnette: 00:15:29

that it was coming up to the spot and.

Lynnette: 00:15:32

, what issues am I having?

Lynnette: 00:15:34

What challenges am I facing?

Lynnette: 00:15:36

What do I wanna work on in my internal world?

Lynnette: 00:15:38

Because it's a time to turn inward and think about things,

Lynnette: 00:15:42

especially with Mercury.

Lynnette: 00:15:43

And then when it stations direct, it crosses that part

Lynnette: 00:15:48

of the sky for a third time.

Lynnette: 00:15:50

before it clears its shadow, which is the time where, okay, planet's moving forward.

Lynnette: 00:15:54

It's picking up speed.

Lynnette: 00:15:56

So are you, you are figuring out what did you learn, what do you wanna

Lynnette: 00:15:59

implement from the things that you planned or thought of during that time?

Lynnette: 00:16:02

So it's not scary , right?

Lynnette: 00:16:05

It's only scary if you're afraid to do the work or like it's, it's

Lynnette: 00:16:09

bringing some shadow stuff up pre, which a hundred percent understand.

Lynnette: 00:16:12

I also do not enjoy those things, but it's a real opportunity.

Lynnette: 00:16:16

So I'll get off my soapbox.

Lynnette: 00:16:19

, that

Dana: 00:16:20

was great.

Dana: 00:16:20

I love it.

Dana: 00:16:22

And helpful too, because it gives people some touch points.

Dana: 00:16:25

So here are the key dates for our Mercury retrograde and that we're

Dana: 00:16:29

gonna start the new year with the pre retrograde shadow begins December

Dana: 00:16:33

12th, 2022, and then Mercury station's retrograde December 29th, 2022.

Dana: 00:16:41

It will station direct January 18th, 2023, and then it will

Dana: 00:16:46

clear its post retrograde shadow.

Dana: 00:16:49

On February 7th,

Lynnette: 00:16:52

happy birthday to me.

Lynnette: 00:16:54

That being said, though, I think it's important to call out.

Lynnette: 00:16:57

I have Natal Mercury, retrograde as to about one third of everybody on

Lynnette: 00:17:02

the planet because Mercury is usually retrograde about a third of the time.

Lynnette: 00:17:05

So yet another reason to not be afraid because a third of the

Lynnette: 00:17:10

population was born when Mercury was retrograde, and we are all doing fine.

Lynnette: 00:17:13

So, Just another consideration.

Lynnette: 00:17:16

It happened four times in 2022 because of December 29th.

Lynnette: 00:17:19

So . Wow.

Dana: 00:17:21

Rude.

Dana: 00:17:23

So what do you wanna call out about this Mercury retrograde Lynnette?

Lynnette: 00:17:28

Well, when Mercury stations direct, It will be in a really favorable

Lynnette: 00:17:35

conversation with the north node.

Lynnette: 00:17:38

The north node is a point in the sky that is associated with fate and

Lynnette: 00:17:43

destiny and the lessons that we're meant to learn in this lifetime.

Lynnette: 00:17:47

So when we're talking about Mercury being trine that north

Lynnette: 00:17:53

node on the 18th, because Mercury.

Lynnette: 00:17:57

will be stationing, he'll be moving pretty slowly, he'll be stopped.

Lynnette: 00:18:00

So that whole day is a really interesting vibe with your communication, your

Lynnette: 00:18:06

thoughts, your connections to find flow with either something that feels

Lynnette: 00:18:15

fated, F A T E D, where it's very much a day where like if you get a download

Lynnette: 00:18:20

to do something, like follow it.

Lynnette: 00:18:22

Like if you get a ping.

Lynnette: 00:18:23

Follow it.

Lynnette: 00:18:24

Listen to your gut.

Lynnette: 00:18:25

And then the other thing when the nodes are involved is you will always

Lynnette: 00:18:29

have a choice because there's a north node and a south node, and we always

Lynnette: 00:18:33

have a choice to decide are we going to stretch ourselves and go toward

Lynnette: 00:18:37

what we're meant to be learning?

Lynnette: 00:18:38

Or do we wanna stay in our comfort zone and be cozy?

Lynnette: 00:18:41

Both of them are okay, one is not better than the other, but that

Lynnette: 00:18:44

day is a marker for everyone to.

Lynnette: 00:18:49

Listen to your intuition and then be very intentional about

Lynnette: 00:18:53

the choices that you're making.

Dana: 00:18:55

A hundred percent.

Dana: 00:18:57

Especially with Mercury stationing direct.

Dana: 00:19:00

That's really emphasizing everything you just said.

Dana: 00:19:03

So it's a great time too to reflect back on those touchpoint dates we mentioned

Dana: 00:19:07

earlier and just kind of see what, what insight you can weave together, because

Dana: 00:19:14

that's probably gonna be coming up again, and it's probably gonna be pretty.

Dana: 00:19:19

January 18th,

Lynnette: 00:19:21

you have from the 18th to the seventh as that integration period.

Lynnette: 00:19:25

So that trine to, the north node is saying like, Hey, the

Lynnette: 00:19:29

universe is speaking to you today.

Lynnette: 00:19:31

You have the free will to make choices.

Lynnette: 00:19:34

How are you going to implement everything that you learned from the 29th to the

Lynnette: 00:19:37

18th before the seventh comes around?

Lynnette: 00:19:39

And like you fully have the universe's support.

Lynnette: 00:19:43

It's a real astrological, like, boost to that.

Dana: 00:19:48

Now, there is another key date within this Mercury retrograde

Dana: 00:19:52

that happens in every Mercury retrograde, and it's the Kazimi.

Dana: 00:19:57

So I wanna talk about that because first of all, it's just

Dana: 00:20:01

like a key moment in the cycle.

Dana: 00:20:03

But also this one's kind of interesting because it happens.

Dana: 00:20:07

just a day later, like even less than 24 hours after the full Moon in cancer.

Dana: 00:20:13

So first of all, a kazimi is the moment in the Mercury retrograde cycle where

Dana: 00:20:18

Mercury is in the heart of the Sun.

Dana: 00:20:21

It's conjunct the Sun.

Dana: 00:20:23

And what is happening is it's getting like a solar infusion.

Dana: 00:20:26

And if we think about the symbolism of the Sun and Mercury, Mercury being

Dana: 00:20:30

your intellect, your communications.

Dana: 00:20:33

your analytical prowess, your sense of humor even, and analytical Sun prowess.

Lynnette: 00:20:38

Wow.

Lynnette: 00:20:39

You like that?

Lynnette: 00:20:39

You like that flowed right

Dana: 00:20:41

out.

Dana: 00:20:43

. I like words, you know?

Lynnette: 00:20:45

Of course you do.

Lynnette: 00:20:46

That was just beautiful.

Lynnette: 00:20:47

I couldn't let that one just slip by.

Lynnette: 00:20:49

. Dana: Thank you.

Lynnette: 00:20:50

Thank you.

Lynnette: 00:20:50

Yeah, so it's all those things and then the Sun being like our core ambitions, our

Lynnette: 00:20:55

spirit, so it's just really helping us.

Lynnette: 00:20:59

Become revitalized.

Lynnette: 00:21:00

It's a turning point in the cycle as a whole, and I think it's really interesting

Lynnette: 00:21:05

that it happens so close to that new, or I'm sorry, that full Moon in cancer

Lynnette: 00:21:09

because that's a really nice full Moon.

Lynnette: 00:21:12

Anytime the moon's in cancer.

Lynnette: 00:21:13

We're talking about comfort, we're talking about stability,

Lynnette: 00:21:16

we're talking about coziness.

Lynnette: 00:21:20

Thank.

Lynnette: 00:21:20

Yeah.

Lynnette: 00:21:21

I don't know if either of us will publish the video of this, but I'm

Lynnette: 00:21:24

doing this weird hand gesture of.

Lynnette: 00:21:27

I'm thinking about like togetherness and like being with your people, even though

Lynnette: 00:21:30

that seems more like a Venus thing.

Lynnette: 00:21:32

When I think about the Moon in cancer, I do think about family

Lynnette: 00:21:35

and like your people, like being around your people, you know?

Lynnette: 00:21:39

Yep.

Lynnette: 00:21:39

So there's something culminating around this time due to the full Moon, but also

Lynnette: 00:21:44

due to the Kazimi, there's something that's really coming to a head regarding.

Lynnette: 00:21:49

Cancer Capricorn Axis and all of your imperial things.

Lynnette: 00:21:53

So that's the data to paying attention to.

Lynnette: 00:21:55

That was January 6th is the full Moon, and January 7th is the Kmi.

Lynnette: 00:22:01

I love that.

Lynnette: 00:22:02

So we've covered pretty much the whole month of January

Lynnette: 00:22:08

for Mercury . That's good.

Lynnette: 00:22:11

And then we have, let's see.

Lynnette: 00:22:15

Do you wanna talk about the next re the next station or,

Dana: 00:22:20

yeah, let's talk about Mars.

Dana: 00:22:22

Okay.

Dana: 00:22:22

I was

Lynnette: 00:22:22

avoiding it, but

Dana: 00:22:23

go ahead, . So let's talk about

Lynnette: 00:22:26

Mars.

Lynnette: 00:22:27

So Mars is stationing direct on January 12th.

Lynnette: 00:22:33

man, that like middle of January is really popping.

Dana: 00:22:37

It really is.

Dana: 00:22:38

Yeah.

Dana: 00:22:39

Yes.

Dana: 00:22:39

There's, there's a lot happening here and you guys have probably heard all

Dana: 00:22:43

about Mars retrograde, cuz it's been, it feels like it's been an eternity that

Dana: 00:22:46

Mars has been in Gemini since August, the end of August, I wanna say the

Dana: 00:22:49

22nd or 24th or something like that.

Dana: 00:22:52

It's been retrograde since the end of October and it's

Dana: 00:22:55

finally stationing direct on

Lynnette: 00:22:56

January 12th.

Lynnette: 00:22:58

But it doesn't clear its shadow until March 15th.

Lynnette: 00:23:00

. Thank

Dana: 00:23:01

you.

Dana: 00:23:01

Yeah, so we're still gonna be in the, in the mix of the, well we can talk about it.

Dana: 00:23:07

So this transit we've actually lived through as opposed to the Mercury

Dana: 00:23:11

retrograde, because we're recording this ahead of time, obviously, but, but we've

Dana: 00:23:17

lived through most of it at this point, and I think both Linda and I have some

Dana: 00:23:21

things to say, about Mars retrograde.

Lynnette: 00:23:25

Well, and I think Mars retrograde happens every two

Lynnette: 00:23:30

years, two and a half years.

Lynnette: 00:23:32

Is that right?

Lynnette: 00:23:32

Sounds right Ish.

Lynnette: 00:23:33

Sounds right.

Lynnette: 00:23:34

So it's something that we don't live with three times a year like Mercury,

Lynnette: 00:23:39

because Mars moves slower than Mercury.

Lynnette: 00:23:41

And I think the other part of it is that Mars is the planet of action.

Lynnette: 00:23:46

Mars is the god of war.

Lynnette: 00:23:48

Mars does not want to slow down.

Lynnette: 00:23:50

So , I think more than any other planet when.

Lynnette: 00:23:54

moves backward.

Lynnette: 00:23:55

There's maybe more resistance in that energy to to fight it, right?

Lynnette: 00:24:00

Cuz Mars is like, no, no, no, no, no.

Lynnette: 00:24:02

I don't wanna slow down, keep my foot on the gas.

Lynnette: 00:24:05

And then there's just something like holding it back.

Lynnette: 00:24:07

And so, . I think for me, I was very optimistic about this because

Lynnette: 00:24:14

I have many retrograde planets.

Lynnette: 00:24:16

I like when things slow down.

Lynnette: 00:24:18

I like living in my inner world, and this particular Mars retrograde was

Lynnette: 00:24:23

crossing directly over my midheaven.

Lynnette: 00:24:26

Three times, like we talked about what a retrograde does, and Dana and

Lynnette: 00:24:30

I were talking like maybe a month ago and I was like, you know what?

Lynnette: 00:24:33

This is gonna be so good for me.

Lynnette: 00:24:34

This is gonna be so good for my business.

Lynnette: 00:24:36

I'm gonna just like, really think about what I want and like, you

Lynnette: 00:24:40

know, just take action on it slowly.

Lynnette: 00:24:43

And I had all these dreams, how great it was gonna be.

Lynnette: 00:24:47

, but you know what, Mars did?

Lynnette: 00:24:48

Mars retrograde completely shut me down.

Lynnette: 00:24:52

. I have, like I said at the beginning, I have not been

Lynnette: 00:24:54

paying attention to astrology.

Lynnette: 00:24:56

I have just, I mean, I, I'm frozen like I have j Everything has just

Lynnette: 00:25:01

grinded to a halt, which is fine.

Lynnette: 00:25:03

Like we have to, speaking of aligning with the energies, right?

Lynnette: 00:25:06

Like that's what's happening.

Lynnette: 00:25:07

I'm not gonna fight against it like Mars might be when he's in retrograde.

Lynnette: 00:25:11

My mercurial mind.

Lynnette: 00:25:14

Be like, no, you have to keep doing things.

Lynnette: 00:25:16

But when the universe invites me to pause and to reflect, I'm gonna do it.

Lynnette: 00:25:23

And so there's a tension for me between the push and pull and the go and the Type

Lynnette: 00:25:29

A and you know, all of the things that we deal with in the 3D world, but it,

Lynnette: 00:25:35

it has not turned out as peacefully and.

Lynnette: 00:25:40

Inspirationally as I thought it was going to

Lynnette: 00:25:43

Mm-hmm.

Lynnette: 00:25:45

. I'm right there with

Dana: 00:25:46

you.

Dana: 00:25:46

I was also optimistic because I have Natal Mars in Gemini.

Dana: 00:25:51

I have my Moon in Jupiter in Gemini too, and I just thought.

Dana: 00:25:57

This is gonna be great for my long-term plans cuz the Gemini's in my ninth house.

Dana: 00:26:03

I'm gonna really figure some things out and like go for it.

Dana: 00:26:07

I don't know why I thought that, because again, we're talking about a

Dana: 00:26:10

retrograde, but I just thought it was gonna help me maybe clarify some things.

Dana: 00:26:14

Yes.

Dana: 00:26:16

What happened?

Dana: 00:26:17

it.

Dana: 00:26:17

It was like, uh, I will say like overall it's been a very confusing time and I

Dana: 00:26:23

think that I fought the rest that it was trying to facilitate, so I made

Dana: 00:26:31

the choice to participate in this like Black Friday sale extravaganza.

Dana: 00:26:40

. It was great.

Dana: 00:26:41

I'm glad I did it, but it was like pushing against the grain

Dana: 00:26:46

the whole time as far as my energy goes, and I ended up getting covid.

Dana: 00:26:50

Now I don't think I got covid because I was working hard, but I was like

Dana: 00:26:54

pulling, you know, I was working all weekend and then going to work five

Dana: 00:26:57

days a week and it was too much.

Dana: 00:26:59

Yeah.

Dana: 00:27:00

And I think my body got run down and I'm still congen.

Dana: 00:27:04

, I tested positive for Covid the week after Thanksgiving, and I'm still congested.

Dana: 00:27:08

It's December 23rd, like

Lynnette: 00:27:10

the good news is by March 15th you should be fine.

Lynnette: 00:27:13

. Dana: I'll be able to breathe

Lynnette: 00:27:15

Oh my God, I hope.

Lynnette: 00:27:16

Yeah, so I think that I, I didn't consider what Mars retrograde really wanted for

Lynnette: 00:27:23

me, which was really to just like lay off.

Lynnette: 00:27:27

and rest and let things kind of unfold.

Lynnette: 00:27:31

So I think that might be my Mars retrograde lesson is like really allow

Lynnette: 00:27:36

yourself to clear your, your schedule.

Lynnette: 00:27:40

Like don't push.

Lynnette: 00:27:42

Because if you do, and I'm sure it didn't help that Mars is squaring my Pisces

Lynnette: 00:27:47

Telium in my sixth house of health.

Lynnette: 00:27:49

Like that has something to do with this I'm sure.

Lynnette: 00:27:51

But if you.

Lynnette: 00:27:53

it might not go well.

Lynnette: 00:27:55

. Lynnette: Mm-hmm.

Lynnette: 00:27:56

. Yeah.

Lynnette: 00:27:57

And I think with the station on January 12th, that's the time for you to,

Lynnette: 00:28:03

to kind of maybe counterintuitively apply the lessons that you've learned.

Lynnette: 00:28:08

And, you know, we still have that whole period until the 15th, so.

Lynnette: 00:28:12

as your astrologer.

Lynnette: 00:28:14

I would recommend focusing on rest after that time.

Lynnette: 00:28:18

Yes, I think I

Dana: 00:28:19

probably won't have a choice for those of you who don't know

Dana: 00:28:22

what's about to have a baby in the beginning of February, so I will

Dana: 00:28:26

be resting even if I don't want to

Lynnette: 00:28:29

forced rest.

Lynnette: 00:28:30

That's another lesson of not listening to Mars retrograde

Lynnette: 00:28:34

. . Dana: Definitely.

Lynnette: 00:28:36

Well, we'll be glad when we get past that and, and really too Lynnette,

Lynnette: 00:28:41

that's another reason to not like push on your New Year's resolutions.

Lynnette: 00:28:46

Like give yourself a week to ease into it.

Lynnette: 00:28:50

Yeah.

Lynnette: 00:28:51

I just, I don't know.

Lynnette: 00:28:53

I think New Year's resolutions are kind of silly, so take that.

Lynnette: 00:28:56

Yeah.

Lynnette: 00:28:56

With a grain of salt for everybody listening, if you are

Lynnette: 00:29:00

a New Year's resolution person.

Lynnette: 00:29:02

So proud of you.

Lynnette: 00:29:03

You are probably a Capricorn.

Lynnette: 00:29:05

. Dana: Lynette thinks your

Lynnette: 00:29:07

That's, I don't think your resolutions

Lynnette: 00:29:08

are stupid.

Lynnette: 00:29:09

I just think that like we change so much in a year and like to think that

Lynnette: 00:29:14

something you decide on day one of a 365 day period is going to reflect

Lynnette: 00:29:20

the person that you evolve into over the course of a whole year is like,

Lynnette: 00:29:25

it doesn't give you any flexibility.

Lynnette: 00:29:26

That's all

Dana: 00:29:27

I'm.

Dana: 00:29:28

. Yes.

Dana: 00:29:28

And then you set yourself up for feeling bad about yourself when it, like, you

Dana: 00:29:32

shouldn't, you know, my friend Allison did something really cool one year where

Dana: 00:29:36

she, and you could adapt this to be like every zoia season instead of every month,

Dana: 00:29:41

but each month she did something new, like she had a, a thing that she would try.

Dana: 00:29:48

And I, I loved that because it.

Dana: 00:29:51

this thing where if you don't do it, you fail.

Dana: 00:29:53

Mm-hmm.

Dana: 00:29:53

, it's like this is something that's flexible and will

Dana: 00:29:57

benefit me no matter what.

Dana: 00:29:59

And it can be silly.

Dana: 00:30:00

It can be like, go, well go to a park Isn't silly, but it could be silly.

Dana: 00:30:05

Right?

Dana: 00:30:05

Like some people may

Lynnette: 00:30:06

never have been to a park or that

Dana: 00:30:09

specific park.

Dana: 00:30:10

Right.

Dana: 00:30:11

Right.

Dana: 00:30:12

So, but I think that that would be a cool thing to do.

Dana: 00:30:15

Like if you really want to.

Dana: 00:30:17

Set an intention.

Dana: 00:30:19

Yeah, make it

Lynnette: 00:30:20

flexible.

Lynnette: 00:30:21

Make it flexible.

Lynnette: 00:30:22

I would also say if you're like aligning with new things, maybe try

Lynnette: 00:30:26

to align it with your north node and like energies around your north node,

Lynnette: 00:30:30

because that's all about going out of your comfort zone, trying new things.

Lynnette: 00:30:35

Yeah.

Lynnette: 00:30:35

If you're North nodes in Taurus, you should go to the

Dana: 00:30:37

park.

Dana: 00:30:39

. Totally.

Dana: 00:30:40

Yes.

Dana: 00:30:41

What do you think?

Dana: 00:30:42

Should we talk about

Lynnette: 00:30:43

Uranus?

Lynnette: 00:30:45

Yes.

Lynnette: 00:30:45

Lettuce.

Lynnette: 00:30:47

Let us wrap up with Uranus.

Lynnette: 00:30:51

. Okay, so Uranus, stationed retrograde on August 24th.

Lynnette: 00:30:56

Does everybody remember the summer?

Lynnette: 00:30:59

I do.

Lynnette: 00:31:00

I miss it.

Lynnette: 00:31:02

It's so cold.

Lynnette: 00:31:03

. Dana: It's the wind

Lynnette: 00:31:05

today.

Lynnette: 00:31:06

Yeah, that was us yesterday, but we're releasing this in the future,

Lynnette: 00:31:12

so who knows what the temperature will be on the day this comes out and.

Lynnette: 00:31:16

, it's stations direct on January 15th.

Lynnette: 00:31:20

Again, that middle of January is really happen, and then because

Lynnette: 00:31:24

Uranus moves so slowly, it doesn't clear its shadow until May 9th.

Lynnette: 00:31:28

So here's where I think it's important to talk about the difference between the

Lynnette: 00:31:32

inner planets or the personal planets and the outer planets because these inner

Lynnette: 00:31:37

planets, as you literally just heard with Mars, affect us more on a personal level.

Lynnette: 00:31:42

Like in our charts.

Lynnette: 00:31:44

You heard Dana and I.

Lynnette: 00:31:46

Talk about where it was and what it was crossing and all of that stuff.

Lynnette: 00:31:50

Really anything beyond Jupiter and Saturn, cuz those are often called transpersonal

Lynnette: 00:31:54

plans cuz they can kind of go either way.

Lynnette: 00:31:57

So Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and if you're into it, some of the asteroids

Lynnette: 00:32:01

or planetoids or whatever we're calling them these days, but we don't necessarily

Lynnette: 00:32:05

feel the impact of their retrogrades personally because they move so slowly.

Lynnette: 00:32:11

So they're retrograde for like half the year or.

Lynnette: 00:32:14

Five months or four months, and it's just like a really long time.

Lynnette: 00:32:17

But what we do feel is because they are heftier in terms of the

Lynnette: 00:32:21

energetic weight, is when they slow down and stop whether they're

Lynnette: 00:32:26

stopping to move backwards or forward.

Lynnette: 00:32:28

So around that date of January 15th, just pay attention to what's going on.

Lynnette: 00:32:34

Maybe five days before.

Lynnette: 00:32:36

Five days after.

Lynnette: 00:32:37

I know it's particularly uncanny, like when Pluto stations,

Lynnette: 00:32:41

there's more like volcanoes and earthquakes and things like that.

Lynnette: 00:32:46

I'm not sure what the alignment is with Uranus, but I can imagine it has to

Lynnette: 00:32:50

do with electricity and surprises and.

Lynnette: 00:32:55

Unexpected things, so mm-hmm.

Lynnette: 00:32:57

and that would be on a collective level, if it's impacting you directly in a

Lynnette: 00:33:02

point in your chart that's talking to other planets, you can expect that too.

Lynnette: 00:33:05

But I think in general, when we're talking about these outer planets, it's

Lynnette: 00:33:10

more about the slowing down and stopping than it is the actual retrograde.

Dana: 00:33:14

I have January 22nd as when you're in a stationing.

Lynnette: 00:33:18

Correct?

Lynnette: 00:33:18

I said the wrong day.

Lynnette: 00:33:19

You're right.

Lynnette: 00:33:20

That's okay.

Lynnette: 00:33:20

That's okay.

Lynnette: 00:33:21

So, Station retrograde, August 24th.

Lynnette: 00:33:24

Station's direct.

Lynnette: 00:33:25

January 22nd, clears the shadow May 9th.

Lynnette: 00:33:28

Got it.

Dana: 00:33:29

And like you said, we're probably, unless it's aspecting something in your

Dana: 00:33:34

chart, you're probably really not going to notice it personally, but in the

Dana: 00:33:40

news or something like that, you might.

Dana: 00:33:43

Now I'm gonna be paying attention to this one because Uranus will be at 14 degrees,

Dana: 00:33:47

56 minutes and it will oppose my Pluto.

Dana: 00:33:51

As it stations, Pluto for me is at 1459, so within three minutes of my

Dana: 00:33:58

Pluto, it will be stationing direct, so I'll keep y'all posted on that.

Dana: 00:34:02

We'll see what happens.

Dana: 00:34:04

Huh?

Dana: 00:34:05

That is

Lynnette: 00:34:08

exciting.

Dana: 00:34:09

Is it?

Dana: 00:34:10

I mean, well, here's the thing.

Dana: 00:34:11

This is what I was gonna say before I realized that that was happening.

Dana: 00:34:14

I was very worried.

Dana: 00:34:16

Uranus opposite my Pluto.

Dana: 00:34:18

Mm-hmm.

Dana: 00:34:18

, I knew it was coming and as we keep saying, it's three times.

Dana: 00:34:22

Right?

Dana: 00:34:22

So this is the third and final time and.

Dana: 00:34:25

I really haven't noticed it that much at like, I was worried I was gonna

Dana: 00:34:31

be in financial ruin or like, well, I was just like, am I gonna lose my

Lynnette: 00:34:35

job?

Lynnette: 00:34:35

What's all possibilities?

Lynnette: 00:34:36

Go through your head,

Lynnette: 00:34:38

. Dana: I am.

Lynnette: 00:34:39

I don't know about you, but I immediately go to the worst case,

Lynnette: 00:34:41

especially when Pluto's involved.

Lynnette: 00:34:43

I'm like, all right, like bat battle down the hatches.

Lynnette: 00:34:46

I don't know what that phrase is, but, um, Batten, batten down bat.

Lynnette: 00:34:50

But that, okay.

Lynnette: 00:34:51

Yeah.

Lynnette: 00:34:51

I've batten.

Lynnette: 00:34:53

Not a word I've ever used.

Lynnette: 00:34:55

Well, I think it's like a boat word, so it's

Lynnette: 00:34:57

like, hold on, I'm gonna look.

Lynnette: 00:34:59

It's the boat word.

Lynnette: 00:35:00

Well, it's like when you watch below deck and you're like,

Lynnette: 00:35:03

oh, see the bow yard line?

Lynnette: 00:35:07

To do or whatever.

Lynnette: 00:35:09

. Oh my God.

Lynnette: 00:35:10

You just like learn boat words.

Lynnette: 00:35:11

It is batten down the hatches to prepare for trouble.

Lynnette: 00:35:14

Okay.

Lynnette: 00:35:15

Welcome to your Google for the day,

Dana: 00:35:18

Now we know.

Dana: 00:35:19

Batten down the hatches.

Dana: 00:35:20

That's what I felt like I had to do with this transit and I.

Dana: 00:35:24

It's been more so about, so I'll just tell everybody like, this is happening

Dana: 00:35:29

for me on my second and eighth house axis, and that's why I was worried

Dana: 00:35:33

about debt and money with this transit.

Dana: 00:35:36

But I will say like I have taken on more debt, but I've also made more money.

Dana: 00:35:42

and it's been more so about the, what's come up with Pluto around

Dana: 00:35:47

what I think about money and also like karmic obligations, like what

Dana: 00:35:52

I, because when I think about the eighth house, like, you know, taxes

Dana: 00:35:55

and like, act like physical debt is what comes to mind, but it is totally.

Dana: 00:35:59

Your karmic debt to like who you feel indebted to.

Dana: 00:36:03

And I have really been working through that a lot.

Dana: 00:36:05

Like what do I owe people and what do I not owe people?

Dana: 00:36:08

So it's been more about boundaries and things like that.

Dana: 00:36:11

So I just wanna say for anybody else who's got like a personal planet, or not

Dana: 00:36:15

a personal planet, but a something in your birth chart that's aspecting Uranus here.

Dana: 00:36:19

Again, don't be afraid.

Dana: 00:36:21

It's, it's all for you.

Lynnette: 00:36:24

Yeah, I, I think.

Lynnette: 00:36:26

That's the danger of just knowing enough astrology to get yourself into trouble.

Lynnette: 00:36:30

And I'm not saying that's you because you obviously know a lot,

Lynnette: 00:36:32

but , like for people who are just learning and like anything that

Lynnette: 00:36:35

has to do with Pluto, especially like, it's like, ah, terrifying.

Lynnette: 00:36:38

Right?

Lynnette: 00:36:39

And so I think what you said, it's, it's happening for you.

Lynnette: 00:36:42

Like Pluto is the planet of transformation and it's not always a bad thing.

Lynnette: 00:36:46

And I think we have to.

Lynnette: 00:36:48

Remember that we always have a choice with how we're going

Lynnette: 00:36:53

to work with these aspects.

Lynnette: 00:36:54

Astrology is the gift that helps us know that we're gonna

Lynnette: 00:36:58

have these energies in play.

Lynnette: 00:37:00

Right?

Lynnette: 00:37:00

So having a roadmap to be like, Hey.

Lynnette: 00:37:04

, you might be having some stuff going on.

Lynnette: 00:37:06

in your right houses of money and debt like probably helped you to, you

Lynnette: 00:37:12

know, I know we all go through the worst case scenarios and all of that

Lynnette: 00:37:14

stuff, but at least you were prepared to batten down the hatches, which

Lynnette: 00:37:18

you ultimately didn't need to do.

Lynnette: 00:37:20

Right?

Lynnette: 00:37:20

Right.

Lynnette: 00:37:21

And more

Dana: 00:37:21

so it was like, There were things like, for instance,

Dana: 00:37:26

my husband sleeps like shit.

Dana: 00:37:27

And as I've been pregnant, I've been snoring a lot, and neither of us

Dana: 00:37:31

have been sleeping very well, so we decided to buy a sleep number bed.

Dana: 00:37:35

Well, those things are very expensive, and so anyway, we financed

Dana: 00:37:40

it and I'm like, okay, Pluto.

Dana: 00:37:42

Uranus, like I it.

Dana: 00:37:46

. I still did it.

Dana: 00:37:47

You know what I mean?

Dana: 00:37:48

Yeah.

Dana: 00:37:48

I, I didn't like change the way I lived my life because of it necessarily.

Dana: 00:37:52

I, in that moment.

Dana: 00:37:53

Yeah.

Dana: 00:37:53

I was just like, well, this makes sense.

Dana: 00:37:55

Like, yeah.

Dana: 00:37:57

And it was worth it to me.

Dana: 00:37:58

You know what I mean?

Lynnette: 00:37:59

Are you sleeping better?

Dana: 00:38:00

I, between the sleep number and the pregnancy pillow, I like go to a different

Dana: 00:38:04

dimension when you sleep, it's amazing.

Dana: 00:38:07

Highly recommend.

Lynnette: 00:38:10

But you were, it was a surprise that you guys weren't sleeping.

Lynnette: 00:38:14

. That's

Dana: 00:38:14

true.

Dana: 00:38:15

That is true.

Dana: 00:38:16

And I think, you know, to, to your point about it being more on a collective

Dana: 00:38:21

level, these outer planets, there have been some things with Uranus

Dana: 00:38:25

and Taurus that have been coming up with this retrograde, and the two

Dana: 00:38:31

that came to mind for me were like, and I don't know a ton about Bitcoin,

Dana: 00:38:35

but the value of Bitcoin has plum.

Dana: 00:38:38

In NFTs and things like this, right?

Dana: 00:38:41

Like there's been a huge change in the value of these things.

Dana: 00:38:45

And something else that came to mind that I'm definitely like more

Dana: 00:38:48

invested in because it affects me is the student loan forgiveness.

Dana: 00:38:52

Mm-hmm.

Dana: 00:38:52

. Uh, so in, at the end of August, I wanna say we got another extension, and I

Dana: 00:38:58

believe that was also around the time when they announced they were gonna forgive

Dana: 00:39:02

10 or 20 K depending on your situation.

Dana: 00:39:05

And of course, if you've been following this, you know, now it's in litigation.

Dana: 00:39:10

They're trying, it's going to the Supreme Court it, and they're

Dana: 00:39:14

supposed to hear it in February.

Dana: 00:39:15

So I am hopeful with Uranus being direct, you know, and perhaps.

Dana: 00:39:21

That will be a freedom in the realm of money for a lot of people.

Dana: 00:39:26

Like that would be amazing.

Dana: 00:39:27

I selfishly really want

Lynnette: 00:39:29

that to happen, but if they could just keep extending it, that would

Dana: 00:39:31

be great.

Dana: 00:39:32

Honestly, like that's been the, for people who are in public

Dana: 00:39:35

service loan forgiveness.

Dana: 00:39:36

Yeah.

Dana: 00:39:36

That work for a government agency like me, it's been the best because.

Dana: 00:39:41

All of these delayed payments have counted towards my 10 years, so Wow.

Dana: 00:39:45

Like, yeah, just keep extending it.

Dana: 00:39:46

It's fine with me, but also like you can't forgive working class people

Dana: 00:39:53

10 or 20 K and like, I don't know, it blows my mind, but I won't go there.

Lynnette: 00:39:59

So Uranus.

Lynnette: 00:40:02

Is making moves very slowly.

Lynnette: 00:40:04

Yes, . Yes.

Lynnette: 00:40:05

We'll see what happens with everyone's student loans and keep an eye out

Lynnette: 00:40:11

for the time around January 22nd.

Lynnette: 00:40:14

Yeah.

Dana: 00:40:16

Is there anything else Lynette?

Lynnette: 00:40:18

We were gonna talk about the ingress.

Lynnette: 00:40:22

Venus, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Lynnette: 00:40:25

Do you wanna take it?

Lynnette: 00:40:27

Sure,

Dana: 00:40:27

yeah.

Dana: 00:40:28

I'll take it.

Dana: 00:40:29

Take.

Dana: 00:40:31

I'll take it.

Dana: 00:40:32

So we have Venus entering Aquarius on January 2nd, and then Venus will

Dana: 00:40:39

enter Pisces, which is the sign of her exaltation on January 26th.

Dana: 00:40:44

So she is gonna zip right through Aquarius.

Dana: 00:40:46

And from a dignity standpoint, Venus is neutral in Aquarius, it's Saturn

Dana: 00:40:51

sign, and Saturn is in Aquarius right now and will be at that time.

Dana: 00:40:58

, you know, it's an austere kind of maybe serious Venus.

Dana: 00:41:02

Like I take my beauty seriously.

Dana: 00:41:04

It feels like a good moment for, I, we keep talking about New Year's

Dana: 00:41:09

resolutions, but like mm-hmm.

Dana: 00:41:11

if you've got some kind of like aesthetic resolution of any kind, not

Dana: 00:41:16

just like your physical appearance, but like your house, like if you wanna.

Dana: 00:41:21

set up any kind of foundation for like a wellness routine or a beauty routine.

Dana: 00:41:26

Like it could be a great time for that as well as something

Dana: 00:41:29

for your relationships, right?

Dana: 00:41:30

Like getting serious in your relationships.

Lynnette: 00:41:33

I also think, again, going back to the theme of like

Lynnette: 00:41:37

reviewing your New Year's resolutions, Aquarius gives you that distance, so.

Lynnette: 00:41:45

To your point about if you want to make a change in your home or your

Lynnette: 00:41:49

routine or anything like Venus in Aquarius is a really good time to, to

Lynnette: 00:41:53

take your step back and see like what needs to be changed and look at it

Lynnette: 00:41:58

from like a impartial observer kind of

Dana: 00:42:03

perspective.

Dana: 00:42:04

Yes.

Dana: 00:42:05

That's the beauty of Saturn to me.

Dana: 00:42:08

You know, it, it's.

Dana: 00:42:11

Maligned, like everybody like is afraid of Saturn.

Dana: 00:42:14

Kind of like Pluto.

Dana: 00:42:14

But there's some, you can be more objective.

Dana: 00:42:19

Mm-hmm.

Dana: 00:42:19

in a Saturn

Lynnette: 00:42:19

world sign, I think.

Lynnette: 00:42:22

And just really quickly, for anyone who doesn't understand, will you explain

Lynnette: 00:42:25

why you're talking about Saturn?

Lynnette: 00:42:27

Yes.

Dana: 00:42:28

When we're talking about Venus, , yes, yes, yes, yes.

Dana: 00:42:31

So, so in different, depending on like your school of thought with astrology,

Dana: 00:42:38

we might differ on this and that's.

Dana: 00:42:41

Essentially every sign, every sedia sign is ruled by a planet.

Dana: 00:42:45

And in traditional astrology for Aquarius, that planet is Saturn.

Dana: 00:42:50

Saturn rules Capricorn and Aquarius.

Dana: 00:42:52

In modern astrology, you'll hear people say, Uranus rules Aquarius.

Dana: 00:42:56

And again, my thought is astrology is divination, and what that means is, , the

Dana: 00:43:02

way you do it is going to work if you have a relationship with the planets.

Dana: 00:43:06

So Lynette might say Uranus rules, Aquarius.

Dana: 00:43:09

I might say Saturn.

Dana: 00:43:11

We can both get to the same conclusion because we have, that's the

Dana: 00:43:15

relationship we have with the planets.

Dana: 00:43:17

So we're talking about Saturn or I'm talking about Saturn because

Dana: 00:43:22

we're in Aquarius, which is one of Saturn's home signs, the way I

Dana: 00:43:25

practice and Saturn's in Aquarius.

Dana: 00:43:29

Venus is going to conjoin Saturn on January 22nd.

Dana: 00:43:35

Actually the same day that Uranus

Lynnette: 00:43:36

station strike.

Lynnette: 00:43:37

What an interesting pair.

Lynnette: 00:43:40

. Yeah.

Dana: 00:43:41

So that'll be really, I'm

Lynnette: 00:43:43

sorry.

Lynnette: 00:43:43

So maybe Uranus will tie in a little bit more.

Lynnette: 00:43:46

Like I, I tend to fall back to traditional rulerships, but like if it's

Lynnette: 00:43:50

conjunct or what was it to Uranus, if Uranus is in play like very closely,

Lynnette: 00:43:54

that has, that's gonna be something.

Dana: 00:43:57

Yeah, it's so, it's a whole sign square.

Dana: 00:44:01

Oh, okay.

Dana: 00:44:01

But, we'll, yeah, we'll see what, we'll see.

Dana: 00:44:05

So anyway, don't get too hung up on Saturns.

Dana: 00:44:08

I, if that's confusing.

Dana: 00:44:10

Don't worry about it.

Dana: 00:44:11

I think it's helpful to think about the planet that's ruling that sign,

Dana: 00:44:14

cuz it gives you more of an idea of the flavor of that transit.

Dana: 00:44:18

Mm-hmm.

Dana: 00:44:20

. Lynnette: I agree.

Dana: 00:44:21

Thank you for explaining that.

Dana: 00:44:23

Hey, Venus and Pisces, I'm, this is my natal Venus placement, so I love it.

Dana: 00:44:30

Love it.

Dana: 00:44:30

But also it's the sign of Venus's exaltation, which means that

Dana: 00:44:35

Venus is like celebrated here.

Dana: 00:44:37

It's a place where Venus does really well.

Dana: 00:44:39

And if we think about why that is, Venus is all about harmony and

Dana: 00:44:43

relating, and Pisces being mutable.

Dana: 00:44:45

Water is very conducive to that . It's easy to get along when we're in Pisces

Dana: 00:44:50

and when Venus is in Pisces in part.

Lynnette: 00:44:54

and I feel like exaltation is like, so there's domicile and then

Lynnette: 00:44:58

there's exaltation, and I feel like exaltation is like when you're the guest

Lynnette: 00:45:03

at a party that someone's hosting for you.

Lynnette: 00:45:05

Like everyone's just really excited to see you . So I think, yes, that's

Lynnette: 00:45:10

the vibe, especially for Venus, right?

Lynnette: 00:45:12

Who.

Lynnette: 00:45:14

to be fond over

Lynnette: 00:45:17

Totally.

Lynnette: 00:45:17

That that's, I think it's a chance for us all to fond over ourselves

Lynnette: 00:45:21

and to fond o over other people and just like spread the good vibes.

Lynnette: 00:45:26

I love that.

Lynnette: 00:45:27

See someone walking in the parking lot who looks nice, compliment them

Lynnette: 00:45:30

on their outfit or whatever cat.

Dana: 00:45:32

Call 'em . Sure.

Dana: 00:45:34

No, no, don't do that.

Dana: 00:45:36

. I wish I could

Lynnette: 00:45:37

do that.

Lynnette: 00:45:37

Whistle.

Lynnette: 00:45:38

Uh, my mom can, I

Dana: 00:45:39

can't.

Dana: 00:45:40

I can't.

Dana: 00:45:42

. But if you can, you know, maybe you'll want to in Venus.

Dana: 00:45:45

in Venus is in PIs.

Lynnette: 00:45:47

Yeah.

Lynnette: 00:45:47

Get everyone's attention and then be like, you are all amazing , you've got this.

Lynnette: 00:45:53

Keep up the

Dana: 00:45:53

good work.

Dana: 00:45:54

Yeah, . But that honestly is probably like the underlying energy of the

Dana: 00:45:57

whole transit of Venus being in Pisces.

Dana: 00:46:01

So live it up, embrace it.

Lynnette: 00:46:04

How long is Venus in Pisces?

Lynnette: 00:46:06

Because is she, that's what I was just wondering.

Lynnette: 00:46:09

February 20th.

Lynnette: 00:46:11

Man, she is flying.

Dana: 00:46:14

It's quick and yeah.

Dana: 00:46:15

And Venus enters Aries.

Dana: 00:46:16

That's a very different energy.

Dana: 00:46:18

So we'll talk about that next

Lynnette: 00:46:19

month.

Lynnette: 00:46:20

, right?

Lynnette: 00:46:21

That's right.

Lynnette: 00:46:23

All right.

Lynnette: 00:46:23

Did we cover everything?

Lynnette: 00:46:26

Gosh,

Dana: 00:46:26

I think we did.

Dana: 00:46:27

We really like covered the whole month.

Dana: 00:46:29

I think.

Dana: 00:46:30

I

Lynnette: 00:46:30

know.

Lynnette: 00:46:31

And.

Lynnette: 00:46:34

again, we did not cover everything because there are literally hundreds

Lynnette: 00:46:38

of transits every month, and that's not what we're doing here.

Dana: 00:46:43

Yeah.

Dana: 00:46:44

We're not about information overload, info dumping, like get in, get out with the

Dana: 00:46:49

key points and, and we did cover like a lot of information actually, but I would

Dana: 00:46:54

say if you want like a Spark Notes kind of summary for the end, it's, we've got.

Dana: 00:47:01

Station directs with Mercury, Mars, and Uranus.

Dana: 00:47:06

And then Venus is ingressing into both Aquarius and Pisces.

Dana: 00:47:10

So with each of those retrogrades and Stationing directs, there's

Dana: 00:47:15

some stuff to review and some

Lynnette: 00:47:18

key date.

Lynnette: 00:47:19

And we kind of talked about the Sun moving into Aquarius.

Lynnette: 00:47:22

That is on January 20th.

Lynnette: 00:47:25

So that'll be the beginning of Aquarius season.

Lynnette: 00:47:28

Again, that's just that energetic shift from achievement centered

Lynnette: 00:47:34

Capricorn to maybe a little more detached, checking things out,

Lynnette: 00:47:42

trying new things in a new way.

Lynnette: 00:47:46

Unique Aquarius.

Dana: 00:47:50

We love it.

Dana: 00:47:51

Lynnette: 00:47:52

Aquarius.

Sam, I am an Aquarius.

Lynnette: 00:47:56

Yes, and I'm very excited.

Lynnette: 00:47:59

Oh, well, I don't really care about Mercury retrogrades as much,

Lynnette: 00:48:01

but it is clearing its shadow on February 7th on my birthday.

Lynnette: 00:48:05

Yes,

Dana: 00:48:06

Dana: 00:49:08

Bye.

Lynnette: 00:49:09

Bye.

Lynnette: 00:49:19

Wasn't that so fun.

Lynnette: 00:49:21

Dana and I had so much fun recording it.

Lynnette: 00:49:23

I hope you had some much fun listening to it.

Lynnette: 00:49:26

Astrology does not have to be.

Lynnette: 00:49:29

Too much.

Lynnette: 00:49:29

Uh, for me.

Lynnette: 00:49:31

Sometimes it gets to the point where there's so many transits

Lynnette: 00:49:34

and there's so much going on.

Lynnette: 00:49:37

That this was a really good way for me to kind of reenter.

Lynnette: 00:49:42

Keeping an eye on things, because it was like, okay, what are the

Lynnette: 00:49:45

big energies that are shifting?

Lynnette: 00:49:47

And we all know that the retrogrades are very popular.

Lynnette: 00:49:53

And we all enjoy talking about them.

Lynnette: 00:49:56

but it's a really helpful context for us to just understand, is the energy moving

Lynnette: 00:50:02

forward or is the energy moving backward?

Lynnette: 00:50:05

And.

Lynnette: 00:50:06

To just have these two major categories to pay attention to.

Lynnette: 00:50:11

To, to really see.

Lynnette: 00:50:13

What.

Lynnette: 00:50:14

Is the collective energy feeling.

Lynnette: 00:50:16

And then how does that make me feel, is such a nice way.

Lynnette: 00:50:21

To just observe and to just be with astrology and not have

Lynnette: 00:50:25

to think about it too much.

Lynnette: 00:50:27

So.

Lynnette: 00:50:27

It's fun.

Lynnette: 00:50:29

It's easy.

Lynnette: 00:50:30

It's not overwhelming.

Lynnette: 00:50:32

And I hope that you will follow along with my journey of

Lynnette: 00:50:37

rediscovering astrology and kind of.

Lynnette: 00:50:39

Looking at it with beginner's eyes, if you will.

Lynnette: 00:50:42

in terms of how to integrate it into your life.

Lynnette: 00:50:45

I've been sharing a little bit about what I'm doing on Instagram.

Lynnette: 00:50:49

I will be sharing it in my newsletter.

Lynnette: 00:50:52

And you can sign up for both of those.

Lynnette: 00:50:55

Well, hopefully you already signed up for Instagram.

Lynnette: 00:50:57

Lynnette: 00:50:58

You've made that decision in your life.

Lynnette: 00:50:59

Lynnette: 00:51:03

Lynnette: 00:51:12

A lot more helpful astrology information than I do on social media.

Lynnette: 00:51:17

Lynnette: 00:51:21

I love her content.

Lynnette: 00:51:22
