[00:00:00] Hello, spirit led business friends. It's Azara, your soul centered business coach and mystical demystifier of all things esoteric and financially gainful. Welcome to the mystical business coach podcast, where I share the most impactful mystical tools like astrology and tarot to make planning and running your business more magical, more lucrative, and most importantly, more fun.
[00:00:26] Okay, let's jump in with a vibe check. The vibe is. A lot. There is a lot of vibe to parse this week. Here's the deal. This week we have a transit a day all the way up until Sunday when we have, wait for it, Five significant events. If you're keeping score, that is 11 meaningful transits total, meaning we are entering an incredible swell of dreamy, nebulous, and metamorphic energy.
[00:00:56] This is a mystical ass week, y'all. Get ready for some weird dreams and some deep inner work to go down. We start on an incredibly challenging note, with an opposition every other day through the workweek itself, interspersed with first a lunar eclipse in none other than Pisces, the sign of psychic energy and intuition, and then with the blessed respite of of a trine.
[00:01:22] Saturday kicks off the weekend with a square, the very essence of challenging this. And then Sunday comes through with three trines that stack up into a magnificent grand trine. Then we've got the sun's ingression into Libra. And, why not, A brutal Venus Pluto square to cap things off with a weirdly existential and intense note.
[00:01:44] Remember how I told you to soak up the good, quiet four transits stretched over seven days kind of situation last week? I really hope you did that because we've got an epic week coming up, you guys.
[00:01:57] Okay, let's jump in. First, we have a Venus Chiron opposition. On Monday, September 9th at 5. 29pm Eastern, 2. 29pm Pacific, Venus at 22 degrees and 25 minutes of Libra is going to form an opposition to Chiron at 22 degrees and 25 minutes of Aries. Venus is value, meaning both our values as well as value itself, as in what things are worth to us.
[00:02:29] This includes our self worth. Our sense of what our own value is, our self esteem. Chiron is our core wounding and healing. Super fun. So in a Venus Chiron opposition, our sense of self worth is conflicting with our core sense of wellbeing. That's right. It's a really, really heavy transit, and it's especially tough for folks who have struggled with issues of self worth their whole lives, which, unfortunately, is a massive percentage of the population, particularly those of us who were socialized as women or who don't fit the mold that our societies expect us to fit into, or both.
[00:03:07] So during this transit, your issues with your own value start to pick at your core wounding. It's pretty rough. Thanks to the nature of oppositions, you may also notice that this transit brings a lot of concern about how others perceive your worth and your value. In business, this usually manifests in spiraling thoughts about what your audience actually thinks about you, or whether your clients actually like the work you do with them.
[00:03:32] And it causes you to struggle with the feelings that others are not seeing or appreciating your real value. This transit asks us to examine our feelings of inadequacy and to dig deep into where those feelings really come from. Do you have an offer that just isn't selling despite it being something you put a ton of effort into?
[00:03:51] Or maybe you've been struggling to find your audience despite posting awesome, useful, super actionable content and even being really consistent about it. Those things suck and are definitely setbacks, but if your automatic response to hitting extremely common roadblocks like that is to start questioning your own intrinsic value, that's a much more serious problem.
[00:04:15] This is a transit that causes us to question our value. And unfortunately, that oftentimes suppresses our ability to communicate about ourselves with confidence or to keep showing up. It prevents us from being seen as our authentic selves. And those are all critical things for business. Communicating with confidence, showing up with your self worth on blast, making sure the entire world can see yourself in an authentic way. So if when you launch to crickets, it feels like no matter how hard you try, nobody wants what you have, period. And that sets off some deep anxiety about whether you even have anything to offer anyone anyways.
[00:04:55] And it makes you want to run and hide. It's time to take a step back and reconnect with your worth. One way to do this is to revisit past wins. Have you changed anyone's life? I'm willing to bet that you have. What did you do that turned things around for them? If you aren't in the habit of doing this already, which you definitely should be, write that win down in a place where you can return to it any time you're feeling like you don't have anything to offer.
[00:05:21] And then keep writing down those moments when you think of them. And this collection is going to grow over time and it's going to offer you a reality check any time you doubt your abilities. And just a hot FYI that this transit also confronts us with core wounding related to money. So have fun with that.
[00:05:39] Not even going to touch it this time around. We'll deal with it next time. All right, let's keep it moving. Then the next day, boom, we have our first eclipse of the season. And it's a juicy one. We've got a lunar eclipse in Pisces, which is like emotions, On psychic vibes on intuitive, intense dreaminess, it's highly mystical, and it's also a lot of energy in general to just kind of grapple with a lunar eclipse occurs when the moon moves into Earth's shadow cast by the light of the sun, and it always takes place during a full moon.
[00:06:18] And happens roughly every six months. Um, one thing, one of my favorite astrologers, Jessica Laniado says, uh, is that you shouldn't do too much to try to control the energy of an eclipse. It's like trying to bottle lightning or channel an earthquake. An eclipse is a natural phenomenon that is completely outstrips our individual human abilities to really handle it, and things can get dicey really fast if we try.
[00:06:45] In general, we do not try to manifest at the full moon, which again, is when all lunar eclipses happen. Instead, we use this time as a moment to release, because in a sense, it's all we really can do in the face of such epic cosmic energy. This is doubly true for an eclipse. Charge your crystals. Sure,
[00:07:07] but unless you're very confident, try to avoid doing any super elaborate craft work on the night of the eclipse. Just spare yourself the ag. Let's talk about the nature of this eclipse. The moon in Pisces nurtures intuitively, providing spiritual comfort with compassion and serenity. She also brings dreams and fantasies, and she's mysterious and heals us emotionally and psychically.
[00:07:33] It's very beautiful. Pisces is the zodiacal sign that rules faith and the thinning of the veil and dissolution of the boundaries between us. Its quality is mutable, meaning it's flexible and evolving, and its element is water, which speaks to sensitivity, psychic powers, again, intuition, empathy, and emotion.
[00:07:55] It's mutable water, and that's really beautiful. It's hard to capture. It runs through our fingers. When a full moon occurs in the sign of Pisces, it's like that full moon gets an extra hit of dreamy magic. And when it's an eclipse. My suggestion for this transit is to just let it wash over you. Don't fight it.
[00:08:16] Prepare for intense dreams and a deep connection with your vision for the future, and lots and lots of emotional intensity. Eclipses have some of the most potent energetic footprints possible, with the effects lasting for anywhere from a few weeks to full months. So lean into your intuition through the end of the year.
[00:08:37] Trust your gut. Let your visions lead you, and open your mind to the dreams that filter through during this period of increased psychic sensitivity. All right, Wednesday, the day after the eclipse, we've got another biggie.
[00:08:51] Mercury versus Saturn. At 4. 50 a. m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, September 18th, which is 1. 50 a. m. Pacific, Mercury will be at 15 degrees and 15 minutes of Virgo, its sign of exaltation, and will be exactly opposite Saturn at 15 degrees and 15 minutes of Pisces, the same sign the moon is rocking our psychic world in right now.
[00:09:16] This is a hefty one. It's an opposition between our analytical self and our structured self. So what does that even mean? What is up this week? Let's break it down. Mercury is the internal mind. Mercury is our intellect, our order of thought, our taskmaster, very ego, very personal and individualized. Saturn is collective and social.
[00:09:40] So the opposite in certain ways. Saturn is external. She represents external structures, including social structures, laws, rules, bureaucracy. So, you can see the overlap here. Both planets are analytical, process oriented, and organized. But one is individualized. That's Mercury. And the other is socialized.
[00:10:02] That's Saturn. And they're in opposition. Oppositions draw out the incompatibilities between planets energies. So we are looking at the tension between organization of the self versus the broader organization of our society. This is a meaningful transit for rebels. And if you're a person who belongs to an underserved or marginalized community and you run your own business, guess what?
[00:10:26] You're a rebel. The way you organize your own life does not necessarily fit into the warp and weft, the weave of the social fabric around you. Some of us revel in this feeling. You may love breaking the mold that you're expected to fit into. I know I do. I was such a gothy high schooler, rejecting anything that smelled at all like what 16 year old black girl was quote unquote supposed to look like, act like, and be.
[00:10:53] Fuck that. I'm me, and nobody else gets to tell me what that means. But fighting against the flow of your broader society can be very lonely. It's usually not just that you want to set yourself apart. It's that you can't really help it because you might not feel like you actually relate to the other people around you.
[00:11:10] Have you ever looked around and felt like you might be an alien who was beamed down as a baby and left to navigate a completely foreign world? This kind of isolation that comes from acknowledging and deeply feeling your difference can kick up loneliness and the feeling that there's a chasm between you and the other people around you.
[00:11:30] Saturn rules overwhelm, and Mercury rules overthinking, both of which can set you up for anxiety and depression. This transit is very much boosted in its emotional impact by the massive blast of energy from the eclipse, so brace for this feeling of isolation to hit you hard, perhaps harder than it has ever hit you before.
[00:11:50] It might have you asking, what's the point? What am I doing here? Why am I fighting so hard to do this business? Is it worth it to set myself on such different path than what everybody else is doing? What most people expected me to do? It's really heavy stuff. So what's the antidote? Frankly, you need cheering up.
[00:12:10] You need a reminder that you're not alone and you need to connect with your crew. You know, those people who understand what you're going through and who make you feel like you're not so alone after all. Especially when it comes to the unique challenges and frustrations of entrepreneurship in a world that is desperately trying to get you into a tie and or sensible heels.
[00:12:31] No, we're not doing that. If you don't have a crew or other people who you feel you can relate to, one of the most important things you must do as a business owner is to find those people. You need to have other people in your life who have your back and who understand the struggle and are on this journey with you.
[00:12:49] Ideally, you should find a mix of people who are at a similar stage as you, or even an earlier stage, and folks who are farther along and can give you advice and an example of what this can look like in your future. One important thing to note here, what This transit may have you leaning further into your sadness, your loneliness, and antisocial attitude by prompting you to separate from a business partner or a collaborator or fire a client.
[00:13:18] Because yes, we can at times, and must, fire collaborators and clients in order to ensure our own mental health and well being. But you need to be extra careful during this time about making such types of final decisions.
[00:13:32] Really weigh the pros and cons and reflect, knowing that this transit is definitely egging you on with an intensity that might completely vanish later in the week. Maybe take a pause on it. If you're having a conflict with someone, take a step back and let this transit pass before you pull the trigger.
[00:13:50] So what's the upside? Good question. You know I'm always looking for the silver lining with these pushy transits. Generally, oppositions come with a degree of conflict and, on the other side of the coin, some sort of tool that you can use to your advantage.
[00:14:05] A Mercury Saturn opposition gives you the advantage of heightened analytical powers, so you'll be better positioned to use your critical thinking skills, thanks to Mercury and Saturn's overlapping personalities. You can use this power to get to the root of your feelings of isolation in a way that is more objective and more analytical than you might normally be able to do.
[00:14:25] And this is a huge boon because it gives you the exact tool you need in order to understand where that feeling of difference is coming from.
[00:14:33] And view it in a neutral way, so you can decide if it really is as big a problem as your feelings might make it seem.
[00:14:40] Maybe we all feel that way sometimes. Even the most normal of traditionally socially acceptable people. Maybe it's part of the human condition to feel like you're all alone. And maybe that means that none of us truly is alone. It is worth it to put in the effort to really do this cerebral work, and both Mercury and Saturn will aid you in accessing the discipline to get it done.
[00:15:05] All right, following our pattern of a transit per day, we move on to Thursday the 19th when at 10. 04 a. m. Eastern, 7. 04 a. m. Pacific, we have a sun urinous trine. Thank goodness! We have been challenged on the daily this week, so we are absolutely due a sweet, harmonious trine. The sun is going to be at 27 degrees and seven minutes of Virgo, and Uranus is going to be at 27 degrees and seven minutes of Taurus.
[00:15:34] Uranus trines are always super interesting because they mellow our nerves, which may be much needed after all the conflict with those two oppositions at the top of the week. The sun shines its warm, glowy light on us, banishing our anxiety and filling us with confidence and clarity. Our excitability becomes excitement and is married with the sun's stability, confidence, and radiance.
[00:16:00] Trines blend energies in a benefic way, which is extra beautiful here because when Uranus is confident, it unlocks incredible depths of ingenuity and inventiveness. What's more, Uranus is in the sign of Taurus, the bull, where Taurus is consistent, Uranus is unpredictable. Taurus is grounding, and Uranus's energy is flighty and all over the place.
[00:16:24] Taurus is the sign of Uranus's fall. What does that mean? When a planet moves through a zodiacal sign that has opposing energy to it, it dampens that planet's energy, softening it subtly. Remember last week when we had a Mercury Mars transit and Mercury was in exaltation in Virgo and Mars was in its fall in Cancer?
[00:16:46] That just told us that during that transit, Mercury was at the wheel and Mars was in the passenger seat. That's exactly what we've got going on here for Uranus. Her powers are calmed and grounded by Taurus, which honestly in this situation is a great thing. It mellows the flavor of this trine.
[00:17:02] bringing our nerves down to settle us, making us more calm, more stable, and more certain. It is lovely. The sun is in Virgo, so neither it's fall nor it's exaltation, which is the case most of the time for most planetary placements. The sun in Virgo is practical, analytical, and illuminating of facts and the truth, which adds to that calming and grounding effect of Uranus in Taurus.
[00:17:28] Facts are grounding. They remind us of what is real and they allow us to examine our emotional state and even change it when we need to in order to keep going and to keep moving forward. Okay, so here's the good news. This transit is great for establishing new habits and activities and for initiating new projects.
[00:17:48] I know you hear me say all the time. This transit Oh, this transit isn't great for starting new projects. Maybe wait to initiate anything until after this transit has passed, blah, blah, blah. Well, here's your chance. You are supported in connecting with excitement and follow through under this transit, which I know we could all use a little bit more of in our lives.
[00:18:07] So go for it. The boost to your ingenuity can give you an ability to creatively problem solve as you initiate new projects or to develop a project in a new and better direction. And you'll also benefit from heightened perception of your world, which will guide sound decision making and navigation on your path forward.
[00:18:27] You may also find yourself being very open and real with other people on Thursday. Not in a raw or confrontational way, but with authenticity and fearlessness, combating some of yesterday's tight lipped isolationism thanks to that rough Mercury Saturn opposition. This is also a great transit for study.
[00:18:44] Yay! I know not everybody feels the same way I do about study and research, but don't forget, That includes any and all topics of interest, including astrology. It's especially supportive of the study of systems of knowledge and information, whether exclusively scientific or maybe a little mystical and fun.
[00:19:04] Unfortunately, you will find anything that is routine or administrative super boring on Thursday. And you might struggle with self discipline in general. Again, it's quite a 180 from the Mercury Saturn opposition energies on Wednesday, so if you're an empath and just feel like you're on a roller coaster, there are so many reasons why, including this push pull between Mercury, Saturn, the Sun, and Uranus.
[00:19:29] One last note, try to organize your week so you don't have to spend too much time being stationary towards the end. You'll probably end up feeling really restless if you do, and if you end up feeling that way, just give yourself permission to like move around, shake it out, or even go take a walk if you really need to get out and move your body.
[00:19:48] Right, that was a beautiful respite. But unfortunately, on Friday, we are closing out the week with another opposition. That's right, this was a four opposition week, if you include the sun moon opposition that creates the full moon of an eclipse. And we are closing it out with a bang here. This final opposition is between the sun and Neptune.
[00:20:11] So, our fourth opposition takes place on Friday. at 8 17 p. m. Eastern 5 17 p. m. Pacific with the sun at 28 degrees and 31 minutes of Virgo and Neptune at 28 degrees and 31 minutes of Pisces. This is such a Pisces heavy week with the moon, Saturn and Neptune hanging out in the realm of psychic intuition.
[00:20:34] It's very intense again, very dreamy. So let me tell you a key here. Opposing Neptune is not something any planet really wants to find itself doing. Opposing Neptune brings out its confusing, obfuscating characteristics. When the sun, your will, gets clouded over and confused, it makes you feel demoralized.
[00:20:56] Demoralization takes away our drive to keep going, which is the most important impulse you have as a business owner. This is not a good time to compete because you're going to be very tempted to back down or just give up altogether. If someone confronts you, you're a lot likelier to give in rather than muster up the energy to put up any kind of a fight.
[00:21:18] Be extra careful if when you're having a disagreement with someone you have a tendency to automatically assume that you're wrong and the other person is right. I spent so much of my life doing exactly that, selling myself short immediately and just automatically believing that other people knew better than I did.
[00:21:36] If that's a pattern for you, be extra careful about it during this time and do your best to ground yourself in your reasoning and your goals. The answer, as it always is with difficult aspects to Neptune,
[00:21:49] is to get clear on your vision. Lucky for us, we're still under the influence of a sun Uranus trine, which is excellent for shaking off the nebulous powers of Neptune when they threaten to overwhelm us. The sun acts like a flashlight, illuminating what's real, and Uranus gives us the spunk to brush off any remaining clouds and the ingenuity to reconnect with our goals.
[00:22:12] Just a heads up that this transit isn't good for negotiations. And it's really not good for signing contracts without very close and careful review for any clauses or omissions of language that might allow someone else to take advantage of you. You need to make sure that you are clear about what you want and need, and also what the needs of your business are when you're negotiating or signing legal documents, and now is not a great time for that.
[00:22:36] Another interesting effect of this sun moon opposition is that you may increase in sensitivity to how others are feeling, and in my opinion, empathy is never a bad thing.
[00:22:46] Neptune is, of course, very psychic and spiritual, as we've discussed, so you may even end up experiencing exquisite empathy during this time.
[00:22:54] Exquisite empathy is a state of full and total acceptance of others stemming from an understanding that individuals and their actions are the result of a great web of influences and contexts that they don't necessarily have control over.
[00:23:10] Exquisite empathy allows us to release the need to place blame, allowing us to focus on solutions instead. . So that's a very nice possibility towards the end of the week, being able to inhabit a state of total empathy. Okay, we made it to the weekend. What a crawl. Saturday's transit is a Mercury Jupiter square, and it's taking place at 4.
[00:23:34] 50 a. m. Eastern, 1. 50 a. m. Pacific. Mercury is going to be at 20 degrees and 48 minutes of Virgo. squaring Jupiter at 20 degrees and 48 minutes of Gemini. So here's the gist of the conflict in this square. Jupiter likes fun and Mercury likes focus. Jupiter is incredibly charismatic and persuasive and Mercury does not enjoy being tantalized, distracted, or manipulated.
[00:24:02] So during this square, Your mind is going to come into conflict because of the more energy of Jupiter. Do you have a tendency to come up with new ideas and get distracted from the stuff you're actually supposed to be doing? This is a classic pitfall for entrepreneurs because we're excitable and distractible and we love a new venture.
[00:24:23] This is just one of the ways that Jupiter and Mercury can feud with each other. It's a classic procrastination transit, or a transit that highlights the frustration of finding yourself unable to resist the temptation to procrastinate.
[00:24:36] You're going to want to push off all the fiddly administrative tasks or checklists of stuff you've been putting off for way too long already. So prepare for frustration coming from feeling stuck between focus and order thought and goofing off expansiveness and saying screw it and walking out the door to wander and seek experiences.
[00:24:55] It's worth noting that this transit reaches exactitude on a Saturday. So, if this is a day that you take off, you can position yourself to be able to take it easy. Especially if you're somebody who has a hard time not working. If you're like me, your work projects drag into your days off, and find their way into the nooks and crannies in your schedule, and can have you feeling conflicted and even frustrated that you have all this other stuff going on when you really need to just focus on getting this work done.
[00:25:24] This is a good moment to practice letting yourself off the hook. This is a day that is for you, so let it be that. You can also end up overlooking things during this transit, especially if they don't fit into a plan or project that you're really excited about. You can get a bit messy with the details, which is not normally a Mercury trait.
[00:25:43] Mercury is very fastidious, but this is about how Jupiter impacts Mercury. Mercury likes focus and order and revels in the details, but Jupiter just wants to hang loose. Frankly, this transit is a great time to not work because you're just going to be messy and distracted anyways. If this is a normal day off for you, then take it off off so you don't wind up having to clean up any messes you made while you were having trouble focusing on the details.
[00:26:10] If you are working, try to keep your work high level, like brainstorming or doing a first draft. Try to avoid editing or in any way signing off on anything final.
[00:26:20] Okay, what a busy week. We're coming up on the busiest part, actually, so brace yourself. It's Sunday, the 22nd, and on this day we have five events taking place, including three trines that interlock into a grand trine, the sun moving into Libra, and one final, significantly challenging square to round out the weekend.
[00:26:43] So let's get into it.
[00:26:45] First up at 2. 12 a. m. Eastern, which is actually Saturday night at 11. 12 p. m. Pacific Time. We've got a gorgeous Sun Pluto trine. Just under four hours later, the moon shifts to form a trine with Pluto as well. And then 20 minutes later, the moon trines the sun, creating a set of three interlocking trines.
[00:27:06] That makes a grand trine. A grand trine is when three celestial bodies form an equilateral triangle, each establishing a harmonious relationship with the other two. It is super vibey and awesome. And all that energy is blending into a beautiful support. Also, are you ready to get Plutonian?
[00:27:26] It's exciting to run into a cluster of Pluto transits because Pluto isn't always around. Pluto is very, very far away from us and moves very slowly through our sky. Pluto is epic, dramatic. It rules transformation, life, death, rebirth. When Pluto shows up, prepare for metamorphosis. Pluto is at 29 degrees of Capricorn for this grand trine, and that's what's known as the anoretic degree.
[00:27:54] It marks the final degree of a sign before the 30th, which is technically also degree zero of the next zodiacal sign. The anaerobic degree imparts additional energetic weight to a celestial body. So it is increasing the heft of what Pluto is doing right now. And remember, Pluto was in Capricorn for 15 years, since 2008, then it transitioned into Aquarius, then stationed retrograde, Which is when a planet appears to move backwards across the sky.
[00:28:23] That was very recently, so Pluto is only back in Capricorn for a very short while before stationing direct again and traveling back into Aquarius in October, where it's going to stay for about 19 years. So all that is to say, big Capricorn energy. Ambition and pragmatism drive Pluto's transformative energies here.
[00:28:44] So let's start with the first side of the triangle formed with the sun at 29 degrees and 44 minutes of Virgo and Pluto at 29 degrees and 44 minutes of Capricorn. Alright, so two of our players in this grand trine are the sun, which represents our will and motivation and Pluto, the planet slash dwarf planet that governs transformation.
[00:29:07] This grand trine involves our most central, personal self, the Sun, and the most grand epic of processes in existence. This is actually a very productive trine for being so lofty. A Sun Pluto trine wants us to pursue experiences that reveal inner workings. That's inner workings of the world, the universe.
[00:29:29] Anything where discovery is possible, but all in relation to yourself. Thanks to the sun, bringing us back to ego. This transit is great for study research and investigation, uh, for setting aside some time to reflect or best of all for going out into the world to chase meaningful personal experiences.
[00:29:48] This transit wants us to be a student of the world, seeing, doing, and feeling things that revolutionize our perspectives on life. And of course, on the work that we do. The revelations you'll experience under a Pluto trine with the sun usually have to do with what is and isn't working. Because remember, it draws our attention to inner workings and machinations.
[00:30:11] In your business, this could mean having an aha moment about some part of it that just isn't coming together and needs to change completely. Maybe it's about a part of your business that needs you to change somehow in order to work. I don't know. It's worth thinking about. I had to go to therapy for over a year to get past my fear of making money in order to actually launch my business at all.
[00:30:33] The fix can be strategic or it can be extremely personal. This is where Pluto lends a hand. Plutonian energies are transformative, so if and when you do identify some place in your life that needs a fix, you are very well supported in coming up with the answer and implementing the reform quickly, whether that's on Sunday itself or you put it into place early next week.
[00:30:55] And I don't mean you'll complete a transition, or a transformation, or a metamorphosis, but you'll set yourself on the right path. You might need a year of therapy to be able to actually accept the fact that you want to make money, like me. Maybe this is the moment where you find your therapist. Okay.
[00:31:14] Let's explore the second side of the Grand Trine. A few hours after the Sun trines Pluto, at 557 a. m. Eastern, 257 a. m. Pacific, the Moon shifts into position to trine Pluto as well. The Moon is going to be at 29 degrees and 44 minutes of Taurus, and Pluto will be at 29 degrees and 44 minutes of Capricorn.
[00:31:36] During this beautiful transit, feelings and emotions are intense and your sensitivity is heightened. If you're an empath or are already prone to psychic downloads, just brace yourself. You're going to feel everything powerfully. And this is all happening during a week with a lunar eclipse in Pisces.
[00:31:55] If you weren't planning to already, prepare yourself for that emotional roller coaster we talked about earlier. In alignment with the Sun Pluto trine taking place just three hours earlier, a moon Pluto trine can get you out in the world seeking intense revolutionary experiences, with more of a tendency towards those experiences being social rather than independent.
[00:32:16] So whether you're with others or alone, the opportunities for revelation are absolutely through the roof. This is an opportunity for you to traverse your emotional landscape and learn something important about yourself through experiencing your relationships with others.
[00:32:32] Finally, at 6. 14 a. m. Eastern, 3. 14 a. m. Pacific, we complete our grand trine with a comforting moon sun trine, with the moon at 29 degrees and 54 minutes of Taurus, and the sun at 29 degrees and 54 minutes of Virgo.
[00:32:47] This transit brings about harmony between your will and emotions. This is what alignment feels like, in which your deepest feeling self is fully on board with your motivations. It is wonderful for business, for life. It works on your emotions, which of course touch every aspect of your being. This is a great third arm to an already epic, powerful grand trine.
[00:33:10] The harmony it brings allows you to focus on doing what you need to do, which is, of course, what alignment means. Your actions are directed towards your goals and every step moves you towards them.
[00:33:20] You might find yourself relating to others more easily, and life in general seems to flow with less struggle, just naturally flowing forward. This is a great transit for working well with others and for contributing meaningfully to group or collaborative work. And, even better, if you're a vital person, you may receive a burst of energy that drives you to accomplish work.
[00:33:41] By vital person, I mean someone who already has a tendency to take on lots of energy and just get out there and do stuff. I'm not a vital person. So I'm not expecting this. But if that's you, awesome. And with that, we have our grand trine. And epic. beautiful feeling vibe that supports you in experiencing transformation and reform on a personal level, or in the context of your relationship with others, it's going to be glorious and metamorphic.
[00:34:11] And it's a wild kickoff to the last day of this absolutely massive week. All right, at 843am Eastern, 543am Pacific, the sun ingresses from Virgo into Libra. Some may be relieved by this. It's been a very Virgo y Virgo season. I don't know. I feel like a lot of planets are chilling in Virgo right now.
[00:34:34] Mercury is showing up everywhere. Virgo really Virgo ed it up over the past month. And now it's Libra's turn. Libra's glyph, those two parallel lines with the top one having that bump in the middle, it's meant to look like old school weighing scales. Libra is a sign of fairness, cooperation. and interdependence.
[00:34:55] Despite having so much air in my chart as a Gemini moon and an Aquarius rising, I've always struggled with Libra because I've always struggled not to inhabit its archetype in a really unhealthy way. Fairness is and always has been a huge deal to me. I went through most of my youth wanting everyone to be nice and feeling really disappointed when people didn't get along.
[00:35:17] I was always trying to help people mend fences, and honestly, I lost a lot of faith in humanity over years of watching how some people seem totally incapable of cooperation and completely dismissive of the idea of social harmony. Along those lines, I don't always love working with other people because I really feel like getting along is impossible in some circumstances, and I find I usually feel more comfortable and even safer when I'm flying solo on a project.
[00:35:46] It's a big part of why I decided to pursue entrepreneurship. My previous roles involved a lot of teamwork and it was just too exhausting trying to want to do my work while also having to mask for a bunch of people while trying not to feel too depressed by how some of them treated each other. Libra is the ruler of diplomacy, grace, charisma, and charm, cooperation, interaction, compromise, and balance.
[00:36:13] And if you're like me, Maybe you also feel like it's hard when you aim to embody that ideal, but other people couldn't give less of a crap about it, and that is just so demoralizing. Libra feels utopian to me. Libra wants us all to join hands and push towards a better world together, and I love that about it.
[00:36:33] The specific aspect of Libra that's a huge part of my life is the idea of fairness. I found out a couple of years ago that an obsession with fairness and a very specific ethical code is common amongst people with autism, which tracks, and I'm honestly obsessed with the fact that every human innately deserves access to the same resources, safety, and comfort as any other human.
[00:36:55] If it were up to me, business wouldn't need to exist because a competitive market would be eliminated for being the incredibly wasteful and ridiculous mechanism that it is. The idea that humans need competition in order to invent and progress is fucking ridiculous and honestly, insulting. Human ingenuity isn't unlocked by being pitted against each other.
[00:37:16] That's how you activate people's survival instincts. And it's why we've ended up with billions of dollars being poured into engineering, Increasingly addictive snack foods rather than increasingly better systems for distributing nutritious food and comfort amongst the members of our communities who are the most isolated or anything else that would be better than, you know, the perfect potato chip.
[00:37:37] Human ingenuity is set off by cooperation and the open exchange of ideas. And we certainly do not advance science and technology by hiding our discoveries away under patents, because we're terrified that we'll lose money if someone figures out how to, God forbid, improve on our original idea. So the idea doesn't get improved upon.
[00:37:57] That's the opposite of progress. And far be it from me to fetishize, quote unquote, progress, what I'm referring to is innovative improvement to processes and products that do good things, like cure diseases and chronic illnesses or reduce our carbon footprints and lots of other amazing stuff. If you're like me and you don't always have an easy time working with others, the sun in Libra is a time to reconnect with what is good about sharing information, cooperation, collaboration and teamwork.
[00:38:27] When we work in this way without silos or fear based hoarding of information, we benefit from the incredible boon of cross pollination, a mix of ideas coming together to create something so much better than if you were to never allow anyone else in. This is going to be a wonderful month for teamwork, so if you don't work on a team, try to find time to meet up with your squad, get other entrepreneurs feedback and advice, and
[00:38:52] definitely put some time on your mentor's calendar. In your business, maybe explore working with affiliates or figure out fun ways to market together. Invite people onto your podcast or ask others if you can join them. Write a guest post for a colleague's blog or go live together. Enjoy the fresh insights and energies that come from working together.
[00:39:14] Okay, finally, we have our very last transit for the week, a Venus Pluto square taking place at 5. 15 p. m. Eastern, 2. 15 p. m. Pacific on an incredibly busy Sunday, the 22nd, with Venus at 29 degrees and 44 minutes of Libra and Pluto still hanging out at 29 degrees and 44 minutes of Capricorn. So, we have this lovely Sun Moon Pluto grand trine in the morning.
[00:39:41] And then we also have this funny side square with Venus. This suggests that there is something about your values and relationships that's providing a challenge to your epic, somewhat personal, transformative grand trine. What could it be? When Venus and Pluto square each other, you'll notice that changes may begin to occur in your relationships.
[00:40:04] Think about it. If you are personally going through a transformation. The nature of your relationships with others is bound to change. Is that scary? Would you possibly avoid a good, necessary personal transformation in order to hold onto a relationship right now? A personal relationship, or a relationship with a business partner, a client, or even a segment of your audience?
[00:40:28] Have you ever experienced a tug at your spirit that is pulling you towards the next iteration of your business, but you hesitate to follow it because you know it isn't a hundred percent aligned with a portion of your audience?
[00:40:40] Are you fearing a change in your relationship with and to yourself? This can be even harder to overcome. If I commit to this new version of me, Will I still like me? Will I still be me? Wouldn't it be easier to just stay the me I am now? Probably more comfortable? Maybe. But if you don't change, you don't grow.
[00:41:03] Pluto wants us to understand how natural and critical change is, especially when it is the self that changes. But Pluto's energies feel so heavy. Because change is hard. It's scary, especially change of the magnitude that's suggested by Pluto's presence. So here's some advice if your fear of change gets you stuck and stagnant.
[00:41:25] Resist the urge to ignore the situation. If you're feeling afraid to grow, you need to figure out why that is, because you're undermining yourself and your business by staying where you are. Let Pluto guide you towards your first step out of stagnation and into the freshest, most vibrant, new iteration of yourself.
[00:41:45] Okay, whew, oh my goodness, what a week. Let's do a really quick recap before I send you out into it. Monday, Venus opposes Chiron. Your self worth is challenged by feelings of inadequacy. Reconnect with your worth by reminding yourself of what a life changing badass you are. Tuesday. A lunar eclipse in Pisces.
[00:42:07] Emotions are going to swell in the psychic realm. Just let it wash over you. Don't fight it. And consider keeping a dream journal if things start to get really weird. Wednesday. Mercury opposes Saturn. Your passion for your work takes a hit due to feelings of alienation. Connect with your squad and remind yourself you are not alone.
[00:42:28] Thursday. The sun trines Uranus. Your will harmonizes with your ingenuity. Start something new. I don't say that all the time. Usually I'm telling you to stop starting new stuff and just focus, so take this opportunity. Friday. The sun opposes Neptune. Bold move, sun. Your confidence may be shaken by demoralization.
[00:42:50] Fight it, fight it by getting clear on your vision. Why are you here? What are you moving towards? Get your head on straight. Saturday. Mercury squares Jupiter. Focus is interrupted by temptation. I say, give in. Give yourself a minute. Go out into the world and have fun.
[00:43:11] You're going to be a mess if you try to stay in and work anyways. Just go for it. Sunday fun day. Ready for our five transit day? Alright, here we go. Transit one, the sun trines Pluto. Brace for personal transformation. Transit two. The moon trines Pluto. Your sensitivity skyrockets. Prepare for revelations.
[00:43:32] Transit three. The moon trines the sun. Beautiful alignment of emotions with will, focus, and motivation. These three transits form a sun, moon, Pluto grand trine that has us undergoing some kind of beautiful, epic metamorphosis. Step into your next iteration as a badass, heart led business owner.
[00:43:52] Be her now. Transit four. The sun ingresses into Libra. Your will is compelled by diplomacy, cooperation, and fairness. Explore working with others, especially if that's not your natural inclination. Transit five. Venus swears Pluto. I'm sorry to say a state of comfortable stagnation causes you to resist change.
[00:44:16] This is a specific challenge to the glorious metamorphosis promised by our Plutonian Grand Trine. You're going to have to get out of your comfort zone. Remember why you're doing this and let it be uncomfortable. It just means you're growing. Good heavens. It is unbelievable how much is going on right now.
[00:44:34] If you feel overwhelmed, if you feel overstimulated, just focus on getting through a tough week and then lean into the lovely, supportive, trining energy on the weekend and you're going to be absolutely fine.
