[00:00:00] Hello, spirit led business friends. It's Azara and I am 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 to make planning and running your business more magical, more lucrative, and most importantly, more fun.
Welcome back to another episode of the mystical business coach podcast. Welcome back everybody. This week's astrological weather is bringing some powerful, transformative energies our way, with Chiron, the wounded healer, playing a major role. Chiron's presence this week is like a spotlight on the deep rooted issues we oftentimes find ourselves pushing aside but can't really ignore any longer. And this isn't just about surface level productivity, it's about healing the core wounds that might be slowing you down in business [00:01:00] as well as in life, more broadly.
And let's be real, this work ain't easy. But it is absolutely necessary if we want to grow into the badass, resilient, mystical, magical entrepreneurs that we are, of course, meant to be. Uh, and I'm not going to sugarcoat it for you, okay? Because we've got a jam packed week ahead of us with some intense transit clusters on Tuesday and Sunday, where a bunch of significant events are occurring within hours of each other.
So we'll be talking through all 11 events and breaking them down one by one. But don't worry, I'll also give you a high level overview if you're feeling like the details are just a little bit overwhelming and it's too much. And of course, as always, you get to choose which energies resonate the most with you.
We'll talk about this a little more later, but, you know, if you're in need of healing, Chiron's your astral body to track this week. If you're ready to expand, tap into Jupiter's energies, and, if you need a mindset shift, Mercury's got some [00:02:00] notes for you, as always, on deck. So take that into consideration.
Don't push yourself to try to take advantage of all the juicy energies that are out there this week. Okay, are you ready to dive in? Let's go. First up, I want to talk about Chiron because Chiron is playing a really big role in this week's energies and kind of like last week when I was spending some time talking about Saturn and really getting into the role that,
The most universally despised planet plays in our business, which is actually really important. Uh, I wanted to take a little bit of a similar moment to talk about the role that Chiron plays. so let's talk about yet another core member of your Cosmic Board of Advisors. Yes, I'm going to stick with this metaphor.
It works for me. Um, this is the one that I very lovingly and somewhat fearfully refer to as your resident mystical mindset and growth coach. So why am I fearful? Because Chiron is associated with healing and as our growth [00:03:00] coach, Chiron's responsible for being the one to confront us with the painful work of healing deep wounds so that we can move forward.
I don't know if you have a lot of experience doing that, doing that deep healing, but if you're an entrepreneur, you honestly probably do, whether you realize it or not. And if you do realize that you've done that work, you definitely know how incredibly hard it is. A lot of us had to get past limiting beliefs before we could even start on our entrepreneurial journeys.
Limiting beliefs like, I don't deserve this. Or, I'm not smart enough, or a personal favorite, wanting money is inherently immoral. That's a tough one to get around. Uh, and, you know, and other pieces of what a lot of coaches like to call mind trash, and it's surprisingly difficult. To root out these kinds of beliefs, it could take a commitment to daily mindfulness.
It can take changing your routines. It can take completely shaking [00:04:00] up your circle of friends and who you allow to speak to you and in what ways. It can take therapy with the right therapist. Oftentimes, that's a really key part of how we do that healing. Um, and it can take ending relationships that are doing more harm than good.
Okay, it's really hard. So Chiron's healing energies are really important to your business because you have to be striving towards wellness in order to run a business in a healthy way that doesn't just end up slowly killing you. Um, and I'm not kidding there. Like you can really end running out of steam in a way that is dangerous to your health, physically and mentally.
Okay. A big part of moving towards wellness has to do with to your mindset. And Chiron is all about helping you work through those deeply ingrained beliefs and assumptions that shape how you approach basically everything in your business and your life. So you can get ready to make those necessary shifts as you're able to.[00:05:00]
All right, so I'm talking about mindset here. What is mindset? At its core, Mindset is, it's like a bundle of beliefs, it's attitudes , it's assumptions that inform how we perceive the world and how we face challenges, um, how we make decisions. It's the default programming that runs in the background and it dictates most of our behavior.
And that's the thing, whether you realize it or not, your mindset is influencing literally everything you do. How you think, How you feel, how you act in every single situation, your mindset is what's shaping all of that thought and activity. And mindset, the way that we normally define it, it's not something that we're born with.
It's not genetic. We didn't inherit it. It is shaped through our personal experiences. So speaking as someone with, uh, with an anthropology degree, um, Are Our cultural backgrounds. Our social conditioning is a really important aspect of it. It's all those external [00:06:00] influences that mold us over time.
And oftentimes it's running on autopilot and operating at a subconscious level. So most of us don't even realize how deeply it affects the way that we show up in the world. We just go about our daily business thinking that, uh, you know, this is the way things are objectively. But really. It's just the way that we believe things are that determines so much of how we both experience and impact our reality, okay, so there are two main types of mindset. We've got fixed mindset. Mindset. I'll let you take a stab at which one of those is better for you as an entrepreneur. Uh, and let's dive into it a little bit here. So with a fixed mindset, you believe that your abilities and your intelligence are set in stone.
It's done. You either have it or you don't, that's it. Uh, fixed mindsets are preposterous. Frankly, um, but unfortunately [00:07:00] they're also so subconscious that most people don't even realize that they've internalized these beliefs.
You might even be giving other people advice about how to grow their skills or expand their horizons while still keeping yourself trapped by the belief that that may work great for them because they're amazing, but that you're done. You're not capable of deep growth. And again, that might be happening.
underneath your radar. So it's not something that you're consciously thinking to yourself, but it's something that you deeply, deeply believe. And so it's actually keeping you from being able to grow and expand. And in the case of running a business, be your true badass sacred CEO self.
Lots of coaches struggle with this, whether they realize it or not. Therapists struggle with this, whether they realize it or not. Oftentimes, the people who struggle with these kinds of things the most are the ones who gravitate towards roles where they can support other people in elevating themselves out of those kinds of mindsets.
And yes, I am holding a bit of a mirror to myself right now. [00:08:00] Trust me, I, I realize it.
Okay, so that's a fixed mindset. And it's whack. On the other hand, the growth mindset is a completely different game. So with a growth mindset, you believe that you can grow, you can change, you can develop infinitely through effort and learning and experience, and that's real. That's how brains work. Even as we age, there's so much evidence to prove that we can change our minds.
Literally. It's a beautiful thing. And. It's the mindset that you have to embrace if you're going to have any chance of achieving the kinds of lofty goals that are a critical part of running and scaling a business. And those goals usually involve stretching your abilities, challenging your beliefs, reconsidering your identity, everything.
Think about how those two perspectives, the fixed mindset perspective and the growth mindset perspective, how those could play out in your [00:09:00] business. So the fixed mindset keeps you stuck, right? It keeps you stuck playing small and thinking, this is just how things are.
This is just who I am. Whereas the growth mindset opens you up to possibility. And to challenge and to transformation and metamorphosis, experimentation, failure, and then picking yourself up again and moving forward. Um, and of course. The most important thing here, getting more and more skillful and experienced and dangerous over time.
Your mindset is what determines how you approach opportunities, how you deal with obstacles and. What your tolerance level is for change. It's like your inner compass. And it plays a massive role in the outcomes that you're able to achieve.
And here's the part where Chiron comes in. It's so important to regularly examine your mindset, even if you think it's on point. Take a closer look. It's really important. Because if you're not aware of the beliefs that are driving your actions, [00:10:00] you might end up reinforcing the same behaviors and patterns that have been holding you back for your entire life without even realizing it.
When you take the time to reflect on and to challenge those beliefs, though, that's where the real growth happens. You make space to let go of those outdated, limiting beliefs, and you replace them with ones that actually support your goals. A growth oriented mindset is what helps you embrace challenge and learn from failure because, yes, we all fail.
You're going to hear me talking about failure constantly. It is important and critical, and it's how we learn. And a growth oriented mindset helps you take consistent action towards becoming the badass CEO you're meant to be. Personal growth is a continuous journey, and developing a mindset that is flexible, agile, adaptable, and open to change is absolutely essential to that journey.
If you've been following the podcast for a bit, [00:11:00] you've probably heard me talk about Chiron a bunch, and by now it should be pretty clear why that is. While not all astrologers like to track this particular astral body, to me, as a mystical business coach, Chiron plays such a unique and powerful role in the work that I do supporting entrepreneurs, specifically when it comes to helping clients first acknowledge, And then heal those deep wounds that they have, the ones that are holding them back from becoming fearless and viciously self loving, caveat here, um, a lot of the deeper healing part is usually more in the realm of therapy and that is firmly outside of my purview as a coach, but it's really important for us coaches to be able to help people identify where that extra deep therapeutic support is needed by asking some very candid questions about why certain problems are arising so consistently, so that is part of what we do as coaches.
Is. And I have to say, Chiron's [00:12:00] energy is so clutch, it is so important, it comes into place so often, you know, I work with Saturn's energies, obviously, to help people identify systems that need to be in place in their business, Jupiter is really awesome for helping people figure out how to scale, Venus, Saturn Great for charm and engagement and social media and marketing, you know, et cetera, et cetera.
But Chiron's energy is the solution to honestly, like 70 to 80 percent of the problems that people come to me with. It's that deeper level of struggle. It's not the technical issues. It's those deeper emotional issues that are the ones that are most in the way. So, that is enough justification of why I'm really into Chiron, um, so let's get technical.
Who is Chiron? Okay, so according to Greek mythology, Chiron was a centaur. So that's a being who's half human, half horse, and long story short, Chiron had a really rough childhood. He was abandoned by his [00:13:00] parents and was taken in and raised by the God Apollo. , Chiron is a figure who represents dualities and the tensions within couplings of disparate traits within us.
We all have them. Chiron is part animal, part human. Uh, Chiron was abandoned by his parents, but nurtured by a God. Um, Chiron was wounded. And also healed and in the process of healing. He brilliantly represents the complexity of holding contradictions within ourselves, which we all do.
Scared and brave. You know, there are so many examples of those dualities that we hold inside of ourselves at the same time.
So Chiron became known for being a wise teacher and a gifted healer, but he also wound up with a wound that he himself could not heal. And this is the energy that he brings to the table. He represents those areas of our lives where we've experienced pain and setbacks and trauma that may never fully quote unquote heal [00:14:00] because in a certain sense, the things that we experience in our lives that traumatize us, they're always going to be there.
We'll always have experienced that. There's nothing that's going to erase the fact that that happened to us. Uh, and what this really brings us to is the fact that healing isn't about. Making something bad go away. It's about refusing to allow that thing to fester and spread and poison the beautiful things that we hold inside us.
Chiron's mission and yours through his energies is to transform those wounds into a source of wisdom and strength and empathy, which is so especially valuable in being able to run a business. without carrying all this pain along with you. In essence, Chiron's here to coach us into transforming that pain into grounded power and experience.
His influence is subtle. But it's deeply profound. So he doesn't come in swinging like Mars or demand massive structural reform like [00:15:00] Saturn. Instead, he quietly but firmly guides you towards the place where your own healing is needed and asks you to really look at it. And the magic of Chiron is that while his influence can be painful to confront, it's always with the purpose of growth and transformation.
It's not about being stuck in the wound. It's about how you can rise from it stronger, more self aware, and better equipped to lead your business with compassion and authenticity. When it comes to relationships with the other members of your Cosmic Board of Advisors, Chiron doesn't operate in isolation.
He is constantly interacting with the other planets. He's one of the, Biggest players in terms of day to day interactions that we see in our sky, because he's moving fast. So he's almost like the team therapist who sees all the different planets, all the astral bodies, who is capable of seeing all of the dynamics and pointing out the root causes of tension between these planetary energies so that you can [00:16:00] heal and move forward.
So take Chiron's interactions with the sun. The sun represents your conscious self. It's your will. It's your core identity and, your, Attention your light on when Chiron and the sun are at odds. It can feel like your self expression and desire to step fully into your power. Those are being blocked by old wounds.
But here's the thing. Chiron doesn't just highlight the blockage, he offers you the opportunity to explore how you can start to heal it. So when you feel like you're holding back or when imposter syndrome starts creeping in and your son is getting lost behind the clouds, that's Chiron nudging you to do the inner work to face that wound head on and to reclaim your sunny brilliance.
And then we've got Chiron's relationship with Mercury, which can sometimes make communication feel like, uh, like a battleground. So when Mercury, the planet of intellect and expression, [00:17:00] interacts with Chiron, we often struggle to say what we really mean. Or you might find yourself second guessing yourself and worrying that you're going to be misunderstood, or far worse, in my opinion, worrying that you might be judged.
This shows up in business in the form of deadly hesitation. That's a hesitation to send a pitch, hesitation to publish your post, hesitation to speak your truth. You know, it might even be hesitation to even announce your business to friends and family, which should be one of the very first things you do when you launch your business.
But if you're afraid that they're going to think poorly of you or make fun of you. Or tell you that you're doing it wrong, you know, that's going to stop you in your tracks. So what if instead of staying stuck in that hesitation, what if instead you used Chiron's energy to heal the underlying belief that's causing the fear?
What if [00:18:00] instead of shying away from our mercurial instinct to shout our joy about our business from the rooftops, because I know there's a part of you that wants to do that. What if instead you lean into the discomfort and challenge the limiting belief that's silencing your voice,
challenge that belief that if someone comes to you and tells you that your business is stupid or you're wasting your time, challenge your belief that they might be right. Okay, that's the real problem. It's not just that people might come to you and tell you. saying that they think your business is dumb.
It's that belief that they might actually be right. That's what you have to confront.
So what if you lean into the discomfort and challenge that limiting belief that's silencing your voice so that you can move forward, trusting that your message and your unique voice are powerful and needed.. And that's the gift that Chiron offers when he interacts with Mercury. And let's definitely not skip over Chiron's [00:19:00] relationship with Venus with her focus on love and values and charm and attraction.
Uh oh, that's right. When interacting with Chiron, Venus energy can bring up wounds around self worth and value, which is of course business kryptonite. Ever feel like you're underpricing your services or holding back from promoting yourself because deep down you question your worth? Yeah, that's an incredibly common experience, especially for entrepreneurs who are socialized as women
or who belong to identity groups that are racialized, queer identified folks, anyone who broader society has strongly messaged as inherently victims, inherently marginalized, inherently supporting character, non centered, undeserving, all that bullshit. Chiron, in conversation with Venus, can be really, really tough on that level, but this is where Chiron shines.
He shows us that healing our relationships with our self worth is how we begin to truly own our own voices and our [00:20:00] value. In business, that means setting prices that reflect your worth, asking for the sale with confidence, and understanding that the value you bring to the table is immense, and it's life changing.
Regardless of what your shitty old self hating internal narratives say. Okay, Chiron and Mars. Phew, you know Mars. He's all about action, drive, and sometimes frustration or full on anger . When Mars and Chiron interact, it's like your actions hit an emotional wall. You're ready to move forward, but something keeps pulling you back, whether it's self doubt, fear of failure, or unresolved anger.
But Mars and Chiron, when they're working together, they give you the chance to heal those blocks and find a new way forward. It's not about avoiding the fight. It's about learning to channel your energy in a way that aligns with your deeper healing journey.
When you're conscious of this dynamic, you can make more intentional decisions in your business, whether that's pacing yourself instead of pushing [00:21:00] too hard, or allowing time for rest instead of feeling like you have to constantly be in hustle mode, jupiter is another fascinating player here, as the planet of expansion and growth. Jupiter wants to help you dream big and scale your business to new heights.
But when Jupiter and Chiron come together, they remind you that expansion without healing is fundamentally unsustainable. You can only grow your business so far if your inner wounds are still festering beneath the surface. That's why Chiron's energy is so essential. It helps. Ensure that your growth isn't just outwardly focused.
It's not just that you're scaling your business , wildly and into eternity, but rather that your growth. is deeply rooted in personal development and self compassion too. This combination can show up as an invitation to heal old beliefs around abundance and success, especially if you've been holding yourself back from reaching your full potential.
Then there's Saturn. The great taskmaster [00:22:00] and builder of your business foundations. When Chiron and Saturn get together, it can feel like you're being asked to take a cold, hard look at the systems and the boundaries that you've put in place. It's not pleasant necessarily. Uh, neither Saturn nor Chiron can really be said to be pleasant, but so, so, so, so critical are your systems serving your business's growth or are they reinforcing what's broken?
Chiron is always there to prompt that healing, even when Saturn is pushing you to build, build, build. In business, this might mean healing your relationship with discipline, which is kind of a yucky word for me as a pretty unhappily disciplined person myself. Um, or maybe it's about the opposite, depending on who you are.
And it might be about letting go of perfectionism in favor of a more compassionate relationship. approach to success. And I'm talking about self compassion here. When we think of the outer planets, like Uranus, [00:23:00] Neptune, and Pluto specifically, uh, Chiron's energy becomes even more profound. And the outer planets have a way of doing that.
Um, Uranus, the planet of success, You know, sudden change and revolution and yes, explosions, when interacting with Chiron, Uranus can bring about unexpected healing opportunities, often through disruption. And this is the breakthrough energy that can push you out of your comfort zone and force you to confront the very wounds that you've been doing everything in your power to avoid, but in a way that is ultimately liberating and beautiful.
Meanwhile, Neptune's dreamy, intuitive energy can make Chiron's healing feel a little more gentle, like a wave washing over your soul and guiding you to surrender to the process rather than fighting to control it. That's very nice. And Pluto, the master of transformation, Pluto amplifies Chiron's role as a guide through the darker and more difficult aspects of [00:24:00] healing, encouraging you to face your deepest shadows and emerge stronger on the other side.
Chiron is always quietly working in the background, guiding us through the ongoing process of healing and growth. He's the coach who doesn't push you to run faster, but rather helps you to heal the injuries and correct the faulty techniques that you've been using by default that have actually been causing you damage and slowing you down.
In business, Chiron's influence is completely indispensable. He shows you that every setback, every struggle, every wound is a stepping stone to greater wisdom and strength and success. And by embracing Chiron's lessons, you become not just a more courageous CEO, but a more compassionate and resilient leader.
All right, now let's get into the thick of it. I'm talking, of course, about this week's transits. Okay, so [00:25:00] there's a lot going on here, so I'm going to break it all down in detail, because I'm a big fucking nerd, and I think you might be too. But I'll also give you a high level overview right now, just to give you a sense of the flavor of the week.
And also, just so you know, I included timestamps for each transit in the show notes. Uh, so if you need to take things piece by piece this week, you'll also be able to do that. Okay. Super high level. Chiron and Aries is coming in quite hot to check us at nearly every turn this week.
And Chiron, as we just discussed, asks us one of the hardest questions that we ever have to face. Are you really good? Like really, really good? Are you okay? Uh, this is a week of deep healing, and if you're feeling like something buried far underneath the surface is holding you back, now is the time to stop and take a closer look.
The universe is giving us multiple chances right now to [00:26:00] heal and to grow and move past some of the stuff that has been quietly tripping us up this whole time. And honestly, I'm here for it. But are you? Healing's hard. It's really hard work. And so we'll talk about it.
We've also got some interesting clustering going on this week. So on Tuesday, we have three transits that are hitting us at two hour intervals in the morning. And then on Sunday, we've got four ish, uh, scattered throughout the day and night. And when I see clusters like this, I like to do my best to interpret them together, because the way these energies interact can tell a bigger story, which is kind of fun.
Uh, and this week, those cluster narratives kind of write themselves. and you'll see what I mean, but you can also look at each transit on its own to see how it affects the others throughout the week. And I like to keep my orb pretty loose for transit tracking. So what that means is that basically, as far as I'm concerned, you can use all these energies whenever you want to throughout the week.
I'm not going to put any pressure on [00:27:00] you to keep up with it all or like catch the energy in time before it evaporates. Just focus on what feels most supportive to you in the moment. And that goes for which transits you choose to pay attention to also. So as I mentioned at the beginning of the episode, if you're in need of healing support, focus on Chiron.
If you're in need of an ego boost, focus on the sun. If you're in need of expansion support, focus on Jupiter. And if you need to get your mind right, focus on Mercury. Okay. That goes for any week, but especially weeks where you have as many transits as we have this week. It's a lot. It's 11, 11 major events.
So brace yourself. So you get to choose what energies you step into. But be honest with yourself. If your core wounding is keeping you trapped far away from your potential, do not shy away from Chiron.
Again, Chiron's not fun, but Chiron is important. Putting in the challenging [00:28:00] work of doing that healing will change your life. You know this, I know this, let's do it. Okay, let's dive into Tuesday's first transit of three, Venus, Trines, Mars. This one's all about channeling energy and confidence into the relationships that support your business.
It's a really, really nice way to kick off a complicated week. Okay, so here's what's up. On Tuesday, October 8th, At 322 a. m. Pacific, 622 a. m. Eastern, Venus forms a trine with Mars, bringing a rush of harmonizing energy through the water signs of Scorpio and Cancer. So we're talking emotional and intuitive connection, basically social superglue.
Venus is going to be enthroned at 18 degrees and 38 minutes of Scorpio. Serious dominatrix vibes, loving it. While Mars joins from the same degrees of Cancer. The sign of his fall. So, [00:29:00] honestly, There's a little bit of a kinky vibe going on here between these two planets, so do with that information what you will.
Uh, and this trine has some real significant perks for your business. First and foremost, relationships get a lovely boost here. Venus and Mars together can work wonders in social situations, but when we add in the supportive nature of this water trine, we're focusing on connections that are deep and sincere and even a little intense.
Thanks. Hi, Scorpio. Um, so think of this as social lubricant. I'm so sorry for all of the innuendo. And especially in contexts that mean a lot to you or that may carry more emotional weight. And remember, cancer and Scorpio are in play here. So the focus is on relationships that have depth, connections that feel like they actually really truly matter.
Beyond just their value financially. Uh, and into their value personally, spiritually, psychically, I mean, water [00:30:00] signs really bring all of that to the table. Now, let's dig into a few ways that you can work with this energy. One, the combo of Venus's focus on values and Mars's. Big extra can do energy means that you're delivering massive value to the people in your professional world and they're likely to notice, which is always really nice.
That acknowledgement and recognition is awesome. So whether it's your clients or your customers or business partners, collaborators, you are absolutely on fire getting results and meeting needs. Likelier to get credit where credit is due, which is great. And remember, when you deliver, you deliver. Don't be shy about the level of work you're doing. If it's been hitting the mark, this is the time to ask for a testimonial. If you haven't gotten testimonials from your happy customers, you need to do that.
It's really, really important to be able to have that proof, that social proof to be able to show off your marketing. So, draft an email asking for [00:31:00] a testimonial and all the customers who you've been supporting so well and you can sweeten the deal with an offer of a discount code. If they send you what you're asking for, or if you work with just a few people, you can also ask them to hop on the phone or zoom or whatever, and you can ask them face to face, which is oftentimes a really nice thing to do.
This trine also supports you in dominating on your platform and showing up fully as your authentic self. Whatever platform you're using, so social media, email marketing, face to face networking, a podcast, perhaps?? This aspect encourages you to be direct, confident, and fully in your power. Mars is providing you with the guts to speak up and be bold, while Venus is keeping things charming and magnetic, uh, as she tends to do. So, if you've been holding back, take this transit as your cosmic permission slip to go big and make your presence known.
And if you're forming or nurturing any partnerships, this aspect is like nutrient rich [00:32:00] fertilizer for super long lasting and effective collaborations. Connections that are made or deepened under this influence have an exceptional chance of yielding excellent results over time, especially if they're built on mutual support and shared values.
Again, We're looking at Venus. But from my perspective, the real standout feature of this transit is that you're getting the extra courage you need to ask for the sale, which is perhaps both the most important and the hardest part of running a business as an empathic, heart centered, fundamentally anti capitalist human, as I'm guessing you may be.
Yes, asking for the sale means being direct about the value that you bring to the table and letting people know why your offer matters. If you've been hesitant to make that call or send that proposal, this Venus Mars Trine is your cosmic go ahead. This is the time to embody your self worth and be transparent about what you have to offer and how fucking amazing [00:33:00] it is.
So here's your action step. Ask for the sale. If you're doing client work and you have some warm leads you've been meaning to follow up with, now's the time. I know it can feel awkward, it can feel intimidating, it's kind of scary, or maybe absolutely terrifying, but remember that if you don't ask people to buy, you won't have a business for very long.
The saying goes that if you're not getting paid to do it, it's not a business, it's a really expensive hobby. I felt so called out the first time I heard that, because that was real. I was not asking for the sale. I wasn't making any money. I didn't have any revenue. It wasn't a business.
It was a hobby that was taking up all of my spare time, quote unquote, spare time. Right? So get to it. You can reach out personally, write a reminder email about your upcoming program. You can post an offer on social media, a really direct post about your offer too, like don't bury the call to action.
The whole post should be about the fact that you want people to join you in [00:34:00] your upcoming
group coaching program or whatever the case may be. Uh, it doesn't have to be big. But it should be direct and crystal clear that you're asking people to buy from you , however you like to phrase that, right? There's a bunch of different ways at this point. The latest one that I've heard that I'm really enjoying is an exchange of energy, you know?
Like, there are ways that you can talk about it that don't have to feel quite as much like you are trying to extort money out of people, because I know that it can feel that way sometimes, even if, of course, that's not at all what you're actually doing. We've been trained to think of asking for money as fundamentally greedy.
Uh, and it's very hard to, to undo that limiting belief, but I'm asking you to challenge it here. It's really important. So this week's trine is encouraging you to own your value, get in touch with your audience and make that invitation to work together. Because that's really what this is. The exchange of energy here is about you.
Someone giving you resources so that you can [00:35:00] give them resources, mutual support. So show them what you're made of and don't be afraid to let them in.
All right. Keeping the momentum going because we have so very much left to cover and it's very late. I am recording this podcast at 10 30 PM. Not smart, didn't plan my week well, it's fine. Let's talk about Tuesday morning's second trine of the day. So only two hours after that ultra empowering, juicy, wonderful Venus Mars trine, Mercury is going to trine Jupiter.
Awesome. Uh, this takes place at 5 23 AM Pacific. 8 23 a. m. Eastern with Mercury at 21 degrees and 20 minutes of Libra and Jupiter at 21 degrees and 20 minutes of Gemini. We love to see it. Joop in Gem. I'm a Gemini moon. I love Jupiter's energy. I'm very here for it. So let's get into what this means for us. High level Mercury deals with fiddly details, [00:36:00] and Jupiter deals with expansive thinking and planning.
And sometimes these two impulses are at odds. But not here. First off, this is a fantastic transit for your classic business interactions. So think buying and selling, signing contracts, making deals, you know, wheeling and dealing. And that's not because Mercury and Jupiter are just handing you a lucky break.
What's actually happening is that this trine is sharpening your mind and making you better able to see the different angles. Hi, Gemini, uh, and anticipate outcomes like a psychic mystical badass. And the fact that we're dealing with air signs here makes it even better. From my perspective, Mercury in Libra adds balance to that expansive Jupiterian thinking,
creating a natural give and take between detail and vision and balance and creativity. Your thinking is super agile, but you're also able to keep it all level and structured. Another massive bonus is that this transit supports optimistic thinking, which is at least [00:37:00] as important as sharpness when it comes to making successful business moves.
And we're not talking superficial optimism either. This is the type that genuinely opens up your mind to possibilities, and solutions that you might otherwise completely overlook. Mercury in Libra's sense of balance, and Jupiter's growth oriented presence in Gemini, who sees all the angles, again, uh, they encourage you to expand your mental scope and to integrate new information and really consider the bigger picture and future goals and broader horizons.
Awesome planning energy. Okay, because Jupiter's involved, there's always the possibility that, uh, Of course, of going a little too big. And with Mercury, you can get caught up in endless mental loops and anxiety, so watch out for the dreaded overthinking spiral when these two planets get together.
You know you've crossed into overthinking territory when your thoughts start seriously stalling your progress. That's how I define it. Overthinking is when productive [00:38:00] planning turns into extremely non useful worrying. That doesn't actually help you solve the problem. And instead it just stops you in your tracks with your wheels spinning.
And also to push that metaphor even further, uh, you run the risk of just. It's straight up bursting a tire during this transit. we talked recently about Jupiter being like yeast in bread dough. It adds volume, and when it's activated, it inflates your ideas into something deliciously promising.
But if you keep letting that dough rise too high, your yeast will crap out and your bread's going to come out flat. So if you put all your energy into a big dramatic burst of work at the beginning, for something that's new and exciting, you might end up being too burned out to actually see it through.
And that's a huge bummer. So take advantage of this expansive energy to dream big, but don't lose sight of the practical steps that you're going to need to take to actually make it real. Um, and the energy [00:39:00] that that's going to take to get through all those steps. And pace yourself. So how can you best leverage this powerful, if slightly risky, trine. This is the perfect moment to zero in on a big idea. So maybe it's one that you've been kicking around for a while, or it's one that's been kind of on the back burner because you have other priorities. Regardless, pick the idea that feels the most potentially lucrative, or impactful, or joyful, or fun, and use today's energy to expand on it.
Really blow it up and give it some detailed thought. Mercury and Jupiter are working together. To keep your vision grounded, yet far reaching, and with the additional harmony of Libra and Gemini, you're going to be able to balance the big picture with essential details, which is such an awesome feeling.
So your action step is to expand on a big idea. If you are on the verge of a breakthrough, or you're holding on to a brilliant concept that's been simmering for a while, [00:40:00] today's the day to go all in. Really flesh it out and use the balanced air trine energy to integrate Libra's measured approach with Gemini's curiosity for a dynamic and inspiring plan that's both visionary and grounded.
Super awesome. Two great transits right at the beginning of the week. We're feeling really great. And then we hit a wall. Our final transit on Tuesday is the challenging one. It's our reality check, and it's also our first Chiron moment in what is, of course, as I've mentioned several times by now, a very Chiron heavy week.
Uh, this opposition takes place at 7. 36 AM Pacific, 10. 36 AM Eastern with Mercury at 21 degrees and 29 minutes of Libra directly facing off against Chiron at 21 degrees and 29 minutes of Aries.
So what does this opposition mean for us this week? Well, like we just saw with Mercury and Jupiter, [00:41:00] Mercury is the planet of intellect and communication and mental buzz. She likes the details. I always picture Mercury sitting in a cafe and engaging in really deep conversations over coffee and absorbing new perspectives and passionately debating things, having all these ideas.
And while I have absolutely no hard evidence for this, I just know that Mercury rules caffeine. Like, come on, obvious answer. Anyways, , Mercury's primary aim is to keep the mind active and the ideas flowing and the communication channels wide open, just like coffee or really strong tea does. if you're a caffeine drinker. And so enter Chiron, here in Aries, super intense.
Chiron in Aries pushes us to confront wounds around self expression and self confidence, especially those that stem from fear and old insecurities, or feelings of inadequacy. It's very uncomfortable and even triggering, right? It's [00:42:00] triggering energy that touches on our deepest and most sensitive sore spots.
So when Mercury in all of her chatty ideating glory opposes Chiron, who is currently in pushy and confrontational Aries, the vibe can get conflicted. You might find yourself second guessing your ideas. Or struggling more than usual self doubt or even shutting down and, uh, going totally quiet when you would normally feel really energized to share your perspective.
And what's particularly interesting here is that this transit occurs in close succession with those other two super supportive trines earlier this morning. So we started the day with Venus trining Mars, bringing this big surge of passion and confidence in your interactions. And then Mercury trines Jupiter, which lights you up with big ideas and high energy problem solving potential.
Um, maybe a little mania, you know, it's kind of intense. And then so by the time we reach our [00:43:00] Mercury Chiron opposition, it's almost like a little bit of a reality check. So Chiron comes in and says, Hey, I see you dreaming big, but let's make sure that you're not letting old insecurities stop you from taking real action here.
Okay. Dreaming is one thing. Action is another. You might feel a pull between wanting to put yourself out there and the urge to retreat into the world of the future. and social relationships that are lovely to pursue, but that don't actually further the interest of your business. And that's especially tempting if you're worried about how a direct message about the value of your business might be received.
So, This can look like hesitating to pitch a bold new idea, right? Or delaying important emails. We were talking about a lot of this, uh, with these two earlier trines. Shying away from presenting your expertise to a wider audience. The temptation might be to [00:44:00] shut down or play small, especially if old wounds around visibility or self worth get triggered.
So we're in Venus territory almost here. We're touching on Venus territory. But here's the silver lining. Chiron's not here to stop you. Chiron's here to help you grow by moving through the discomfort. All challenging transits an opportunity for growth. I'll say it every time. As difficult as it is to do that growing.
transit challenges you to confront those mental and emotional blocks with honesty and openness, and in doing so, it empowers you to share your voice in a way that's even more authentic and grounded. Think of it like a mental or emotional stretch. It may feel tense, but you come out stronger on the other side.
So your action for this transit is going to be to choose courage over confidence. Confidence is awesome. It always feels extra stabilizing to do something that you've done a million times before, you know it really well, you're just feeling so [00:45:00] certain of what the outcome is going to be, but courage or bravery, those are what are going to get you through a Mercury Chiron opposition.
If you're feeling that classic, who am I to say this kind of vibe, take a breath and let it go. Confidence might feel out of reach today, but courage, it's always accessible. Courage is what allows you to show up and share your ideas, even if your voice shakes. So go ahead, send the email, make the pitch, present the idea, go live, host the event.
You'll be amazed by what a little courage can do for your growth.
All right. Next up, in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, October 9th, at 12. 04 a. m. Pacific, 3. 04 a. m. Eastern, Jupiter is going to station retrograde at 21 degrees and 20 minutes of Gemini. Okay. retrograde every year for about four months. So that means that roughly a third of our lives are [00:46:00] spent with Jupiter appearing to be moonwalking backwards across the sky.
You could say we're all pretty accustomed to it since we experience it roughly a third of the time. But it's interesting because Jupiter retrograde isn't really your typical retrograde. Jupiter's energy is almost the opposite of what we usually expect from retrograde vibes. Jupiter is the planet of expansion.
It's, you know, bigger, more, better. Uh, it's that force in the cosmos. He wants to grow and scale and reach beyond and explore all the things that usually involve looking outward, right? When we think about them and stretching boundaries. So what happens when this expansive energy is turned inward as it does when Jupiter goes retrograde?
Because retrograde turns planetary energies. inward. This is where things get interesting. So think of this as an opportunity to expand your inner horizons. So we're talking about broadening your understanding of yourself, [00:47:00] deepening your wisdom, gaining clarity on what you truly want, what you're actually trying to pursue.
Jupiter is the cosmic seeker after all, and his retrograde isn't about putting a halt on growth in your business, but rather refocusing that growth inward. So instead of chasing external opportunities, this energy encourages us to explore our own inner landscapes. And with Jupiter in Gemini, which is a sign known for its curiosity, its intellect, its appetite for information, this can be a period of really intense self study and fresh learning, uh, and, and a deeper understanding of how your mind works.
It's pretty cool. So if you've been considering any type of professional or personal development, Jupiter Retrograde is here to support the shit out of that. So skill building at a workshop, very supported. Travel for the sake of self discovery, ultra, ultra supported. This retrograde can be a [00:48:00] time to enhance your internal toolkit, whatever that looks like for you.
And while Jupiter's direct motion is all about achieving big dreams, this retrograde period is about ensuring that those dreams actually align with who you really are and what you really see as your vision for the future of your business. It's an invitation to question and to clarify. One way to think about that and one sort of slice of this question that's really important for us to consider is, are the goals you're chasing actually yours or are they based on external expectations? Are you chasing somebody else's goals?
I'm going to let that sink in for a minute because it's really important. A lot of us are doing our own thing because we finally rejected someone else's opinions about what we should be doing. But that doesn't mean we're automatically totally free of the tendency to conform to others expectations. So are you falling back into that old [00:49:00] pattern?
Jupiter Retrograde wants you to continue to grow beyond needing external validation to make the choices that are right for you. So your action step for this event is to define success. So As you go about your week, and, you know, really it's the next four months, uh, take this shift in Jupiter's energy into account, and instead of focusing purely on external validation to decide what success means to sit down and figure out what success means in your own words, according to your values and your ultimate vision for your business.
I'll give you an example. And it's very meta, so bear with me. Traditionally, we see failure as the opposite of success. So historically, when I tried something out and I failed, I was, of course, super hard on myself. And then I started taking more of an interest in science.
And over time, it occurred to me that I was attracted to science because failure was not only expected. When we were testing a theory, it was a critical part [00:50:00] of the scientific process. It was built in as a key part of what you were doing as you were researching and experimenting and trying to figure out what was going on.
Failure was something to actually look forward to because it gave so many valuable clues and pieces of context to help with the next attempt. I didn't actually become a research scientist, mainly because I used to be absolutely terrified of math and numbers in general, which I've since come to terms with.
But many years later, when I did jump into the business world, I did it with a scientific mindset. So for me, failure isn't failure. It's always a success because I tried. And in trying, I always make really important discoveries, even if I fall flat on my face, which happens literally every single day. So for me, trying at all
is the most important success in my book. That is how I've redefined success for myself. And that's what I'm asking you to do as well. [00:51:00] What does success look like for you?
Fuck what anybody else thinks, right? This is about you. Okay. Our next major event takes place on Friday evening, October 11th, when Pluto stations direct at 5 32 p. m. Pacific 8 32 p. m. Eastern. Pluto's shift occurs at 29 degrees and 38 minutes of Capricorn, and it positions this planet of transformation and intensity, uh, at the very end of the sign before it makes its way back into Aquarius in mid November.
And this time when Pluto re enters Aquarius, she's going to stay there for an extended period of time, and that's going to shape the cosmic landscape. for years to come. Pluto direct is not a subtle shift, especially not at the anaeretic degree, the most powerful final degree of Capricorn for the past few months, if you've been paying attention, you may have noticed Pluto has been moving in a retrograde [00:52:00] motion, taking her shadowy transformative energy and directing it inward, just like Jupiter will be
this is the energy that compels you to dig deep and face your shadows and confront what you might otherwise avoid and wrestle with the hidden truths of the universe. It's very mystical, very cool and deep. Pluto in retrograde has been a time of internal alchemy where old patterns and limiting beliefs and toxic dynamics have been unearthed and you've brought them into the light.
But now, as Pluto stations direct, uh, all that intense inner work that we've been doing starts to take on an external focus. So we're moving from a period of introspective transformation to one of outward impact. Yeah, it's awesome. It's super energizing. It's very empowering.
Um, and in Capricorn, Pluto's energy is especially concerned with structures and foundations and systems, even when ruthless Pluto is ripping them down to make space for new growth.
[00:53:00] And with Pluto now direct in Capricorn's final degree, this is the final sweep of this Plutonian energy in Capricorn before it moves into Aquarius next month. Capricorn's influence here is all about resilience and endurance and setting things right in a grounded and tangible way.
If there are structures in your business that aren't truly supporting your growth, like outdated systems or like unhealthy power dynamics, that's a big one. Now's the time to start addressing them in a real actionable way. It's about shedding what no longer aligns with your long term goals and building something solid in its place.
This energy, it's about sustainable transformation. So it's not about quick fixes. Pluto doesn't really play that. And here's something kind of interesting pluto's final moments in Capricorn are a reminder that we're on the cusp of a new era. When Pluto settles into Aquarius next month, it's going to bring
a massive cultural shift focused on innovation and freedom and the collective [00:54:00] good. But for now, Pluto's final sweep of Capricorn is about making sure that the foundations we're standing on are rock solid before we make that leap into the new and the unknown. So your action step for this event is to reassess as you prepare to rebuild.
This is a powerful time to identify and start clearing out any lingering structures, beliefs or practices in your business that are standing in the way of real, lasting growth. And Chiron is here to help you with all of that, right? This is perfect timing. So think of it, uh, as a light spring cleaning for your business.
Or a heavy one, so maybe it's time to completely rework a specific workflow that you have, or take an honest look at some wonky client dynamics, or even completely overhaul the vision that you're working towards, whether that's, you know, in a small way or a really big way. Use this Plutonian shift to start rebuilding in a way that's intentional and strong and ready to support the [00:55:00] changes that are coming next month when Pluto returns to Aquarius.
Okay. Early on Saturday morning, October 12th. We're graced with a supportive sextile between Jupiter and Chiron. This is a juicy cosmic setup for expansive and long lasting healing. The exact time is 1235 a. m. Pacific 335 a. m. Eastern with Jupiter stationed at 21 degrees and 19 minutes of Gemini and Chiron at 21 degrees and 19 minutes of Aries.
This transit is all about finding grounded relief in both our business and personal landscapes, but to leverage the sextiles energy You have to put in some effort. That's how sextiles work. Sextiles are not like trines exactly. A trine is just like a bunch of beautiful, harmonious energy, just floating all around everyone.
And it's so wonderful. And, you know, you kind of benefit from it without even really having to like specifically do anything, uh, other than whatever action it's calling you [00:56:00] towards. With a sextile. you actually have to put a little energy in there, uh, just in terms of stretching or pushing in a way that might be a little bit uncomfortable.
Sextiles are largely supportive, but you have to make almost a little sacrifice, uh, to get access to all that good, good energy. So that's what we're looking at here. And so there's something kind of cool about this aspect. It's a little bit of a two for one. Uh, so thanks to Jupiter and Chiron's retrograde to direct transitions that are going on right now, they're going to reconnect with the same supportive sextile again on November 2nd.
And this essentially gives us two bookends. It creates an extended window of a couple of weeks where we can really lean into this alignment gradually and get to work on healing processes that usually need a little bit more time. Oftentimes we're trying to capitalize on a specific transit's energy. And so we might choose a smaller project to get off [00:57:00] of our plates.
But this time we have a window of weeks where we can really work with that energy. It's pretty cool.
It's an ideal opportunity to, uh, to work through some of those deeper business or personal patterns that are keeping you blocked from growth. Jupiter's optimism and vision blend really nicely with Chiron's healing power, in a way that doesn't just give you insight. It actually makes you feel ready to tackle the inner work, and also the, the tangible changes your business needs.
And it's worth noting that unlike some recurring cosmic stressors, like that horrible triptych of super anxiety inducing mercury uranus squares that we had to painfully endure over the summer, unlike that mess, which I'm still honestly recovering from, uh, this is a transit that's designed to empower you without overwhelming you.
Jupiter and Chiron together can make healing feel manageable even as it's expansive. So think of it as a warm and supportive [00:58:00] nudge rather than a full on shove. For your business, this is a moment to reflect on both internal and external systems.
So consider how your old beliefs, fears, or avoidance patterns may be impacting the way you're managing your operations or even client relationships so are there processes that aren't just clunky, but maybe are actively causing stress and slowing down productivity and blocking your revenue flow?
Chiron in Aries wants to prompt bold action. So take a look at the systems with a focus on root healing, not just doing a little fix. This is much deeper than that. Sometimes even small, deep adjustments can make a big difference in both your workflow and your peace of mind. Think rather than wrapping the pipe in duct tape, we're actually finding the right screw and putting it in. Doesn't take that much longer, but that is truly going to fix the problem. That's truly going to heal the wound rather than just a quick fix.
So your business action step here [00:59:00] is to Commit to healing a system. Let's use this period of time to take first one actionable step towards healing a system in your business. That's been, um, causing you some unnecessary stress. So that could mean like streamlining your client onboarding process, which is like incredibly fucking important.
And we barely ever think about it. It could mean reworking your scheduling to prevent the the burnout that you can feel that's just kind of waiting in the wings right now, or just fixing any process that you've been, again, duct taping together for months, or maybe even years.
Um, we're not patching things up, right? We're investing in lasting improvements. So we're going to take that first step this week. But since we've got two occurrences of this beautiful sex tile with a nice supportive window of time in between. You should choose something.
that has a small step that you can take now, but bonus points if that's just the first step in several that ladder up to a more significant change. Let these twin [01:00:00] Jupiter Chiron sextiles show you that business healing is as important as personal healing. And with a little consistent effort, You'll start to see the ripple effects.
Each step you take, each improvement you make, no matter how small, it'll free up your energy that you can reinvest into growth and the deeper, courageous work of becoming the CEO that you're meant to be.
All right. Sunday morning kicks us off with a string of intense transits. So hang tight as we navigate the storm. At 7. 03 a. m. Pacific, 10. 03 a. m. Eastern, Mercury squares Pluto, with Mercury stationed at 29 degrees and 39 minutes of Libra, and Pluto at the same degrees of Capricorn. This square creates a real tension between Mercury, again, our fast paced planet of ideas and communication, and Pluto.
A distant powerhouse that is known for transformation and the pursuit of hidden truths and a deep seated urge for sweeping [01:01:00] change. So in essence, Mercury squares Pluto when the need for practical everyday communication collides with a pull to dig much deeper into the structures and motivation surrounding us.
Pluto just stationed direct last week, which only amplifies her intense no compromises vibe, making this square particularly potent, I'll say. You might feel that pull to sideline small daily tasks in favor of bigger questions about your impact and your legacy and your desire to bring about Change through your business, and that's totally normal under Pluto's influence to feel restlessness and to get distracted from the details.
But try your best to keep at least one foot on the ground here. One of the shadowy pitfalls of a Mercury Pluto square is that all those bigger issues can make you hyper aware of the areas that you feel are, unfortunately beyond your control. Pluto can draw out an almost [01:02:00] obsessive worry over your limitations, where challenges feel like threats instead of opportunities, this transit can create spirals of overthinking or doubts about how enough you are, or whether your business is actually ever going to make a real impact or the impact that you want it to.
And then if this sense of powerlessness creeps in, it can get really easy to slip into thought patterns that, um, that generally just don't serve you, right? So questioning whether your individual work makes a difference in anyone's lives at all, which is, of course, ridiculous. But those are the kinds of intrusive thoughts that can make their way into our brains during these kinds of transits.
So also be mindful of this. Pluto often brings about the compulsion to seek control. Sometimes that's through persuasion. It can be through intensity or applying pressure. Uh, let that energy flow, but try really hard to channel it into, [01:03:00] internal inquiry rather than attempts to steer or manipulate others, which can easily tip over into being inappropriately controlling.
So just keep an eye out for that. All right. So this is an ideal time to ask yourself, what do I stand for in my business? Even if I'm not making seismic shifts yet, where am I making an impact right now? The key is to use Pluto's relentless drive as a reminder that every choice you make contributes to the bigger picture.
Our business and personal lives are linked in so many small, cumulative ways that create big waves of change over time. So your action step for this transit is to reaffirm your vision and document your impact. Take a moment to ground yourself and reconnect with your impact as it stands today, no matter how small it may feel.
Acknowledge what you're creating, both for your clients and in the broader world, and jot down a few steps you plan to take [01:04:00] to grow that impact over the next year. What do you want to expand, evolve, or give back as your business scales? Try to journal, or take some notes or even, More thoroughly plan out how you see yourself contributing to a bigger vision through your daily actions
The most meaningful shifts happen one step at a time, right? You're building that vision of impact piece by piece. If you feel compelled to, plan out how you want to expand your impact as your business grows To its ultimate form as you envision it. Are you planning to increase your impact by donating to local politicians or to causes?
Once you have liquidity to do so, are you planning to reinvest in your community in a really meaningful way? Map it out and keep it as part of your business planning so you can continue to revisit your impact plan as your business blossoms. It's one of the most inspiring things that I do on a regular basis to remind myself of.
The areas of impact [01:05:00] that I'm growing into as I grow my business.
Okay, at exactly 1. 36 p. m. Pacific, 4. 36 p. m. Eastern, we've got Mars squaring off with Chiron. As Mars sits at 21 degrees and 15 minutes of cancer and Chiron holds steady at the same degree in Aries. It's funny though, with Mars super disempowered in cancer and Chiron being Chiron, even in Aries, this is like two tough guys getting ready for a fist fight, but then, you know, immediately devolving into a silly scuffle that mostly involves just kind of slapping at each other and, and pausing to readjust scarves and glasses. And that's just sort of the mental image that I have. It's a soft square. So there's no real threat here.
Um, and now that we've laid that worry to rest, let's go ahead and jump into the details. This square. puts a spotlight on our actions, represented by Mars, and how our actions are clashing with the healing work that Chiron is calling us to undertake. [01:06:00] When Mars, a planet that often feels frustrated when action is being delayed or obstructed in any ways, When Mars is challenged by an aspect of Chiron, who by now you obviously know is our cosmic wounded healer, it can feel like you're hitting a wall in your efforts to move forward or make progress or even just be in the world as a soul centered CEO without tripping over the same old triggers and wounds that make you kind of shrink back from being decisive or boundary enforcing you need to be as a business owner.
And this energy can bring up the uncomfortable ways in which you may be your own biggest roadblock to healing. It's really hard to acknowledge that fact, but it can be very true. You might notice moments where your overreactions or harmful impulses, or even just full on rage and anger feel triggered by the pace slowing nature of the deeper needs you have for inner peace and healing and [01:07:00] wellbeing.
So Mars wants you to keep pushing and keep going no matter what. And Chiron's energy is asking you to slow down. and address the core issues that you're carrying that are keeping your actions out of alignment with your ultimate goals. So when these two celestial bodies square off, you might feel anger or bitterness that rises up as a defense mechanism against looking too deeply at what really needs healing and what's keeping you from reaching your full potential.
There's also a powerful reminder here to examine whether old wounds or unresolved issues are still impacting the way you move through the world and, impact the people around you. Are past hurts influencing how you treat others or how you approach your goals? If so, Chiron is asking you to acknowledge these patterns and make space for healing so they no longer affect your actions, which then have a broader negative impact on your partners and your clients and your friends and your [01:08:00] family.
So your action step for this transit is to think before you act. Take a few minutes to pause and think before you do anything out of pocket. Thinking and healing are different, of course, but in the moment thinking can be the best way to access a healthy mindset before you charge forward, in a direction that's misaligned with your goals or with who you strive to be as a CEO and a professional and an entrepreneur.
Notice if there's a particular thought, memory or feeling that is surfacing for you at this time, especially if it's associated with anger or frustration. And instead of pushing through it or ignoring it, try to simply sit with it and observe it. And if you're ready, offer yourself a little grace around it.
The small act of acknowledgement and self empathy can go a long way towards releasing the power these old wounds hold over your daily life. So give yourself permission to feel and act and make [01:09:00] moves, but don't let action distract you from healing.
Oh my gosh, we're so close. Just a few more. All right. Here we go. Okay. So as we head into Sunday night at 7. 29 PM Pacific, 10. 29 PM Eastern, Chiron receives another heated cosmic challenge when the sun forms a direct opposition. The sun will be at 21 degrees and 14 minutes of Libra and Chiron is going to be at the same degrees of Aries.
The sun represents our conscious self, our will and our sense of identity. And it will be sitting across the Zodiac from Chiron. And this creates tension between our drive to express ourselves fully as brilliant leaders and change makers and the parts of us that still carry pain and woundedness.
Oppositions often manifest as a tug of war. And here the conflict between the Sun and Chiron brings up a powerful question. Is your will, or your vision for who [01:10:00] you want to be and where you want to take your business, is it at odds with the healing journey that you're supposed to be on? It's easy to move through life setting goals and striving forward without looking back to acknowledge the wounds that we carry.
But very similar to what we just saw with the Mars Chiron Square, Sunday's Sun Chiron opposition may reveal how ignoring these wounds is holding you back from reaching your fullest potential. The beauty of this opposition is that it's not just a conflict. It's a powerful invitation to face the ways in which unhealed aspects of your inner self might be affecting your will and your self expression.
So with the sun's energy shining very brightly in this transit, there's an opportunity to finally confront what's been festering in the shadows.
Imagine the sun as a guide, buoying you along and offering light to see and clarity to understand. And sometimes we need a little tension to push us to go deeper and do the necessary work. And this transit is a [01:11:00] gentle but powerful push in that direction.
Thanks again. Your action step is to take advantage of the illumination of your shadows. So use this powerful solar energy to shine a A steady, gentle, Libra guided light on the parts of yourself that you usually keep hidden, especially the parts that might be holding your business back. Set aside some time to journal or reflect on any fears or doubts or limiting beliefs that are lurking in the shadows around you.
And be honest, what habits or insecurities are keeping you from stepping fully into your fearless entrepreneurial self? And this isn't just about judgment. It's about recognition and release. Write down one piece of baggage that you're ready to let go of and envision how your business will evolve as you shed that weight.
Consciously release it to make space for more courage and more clarity in your vision. And remember, every shadow you [01:12:00] face brings you one step closer to showing up as your brightest and most empowered self.
And finally, after a lot of sensitive challenges, we get an absolute gift of a transit, a gorgeous trine between the Sun and Jupiter. It takes place at 8. 52pm Pacific, 11. 52pm Eastern, with the Sun at 21 degrees and 18 minutes of Libra and Jupiter at the same degrees of Gemini. Not only does this aspect bring us peace and harmony, Thank God, but it also offers an expansive, feel good energy that radiates through every corner of our lives, including our businesses.
Traditionally, this transit is celebrated as one of the most generally awesome supportive energies possible. And it's thought to have the power to bring optimism and good feelings around, regardless of what else is going on cosmically, or, even terrestrially, right? Uh, you know, here on planet earth.
The sun, with its vitalizing light, lends us [01:13:00] focus, while Jupiter, the cosmic expander, the seeker, amplifies that energy and spreads it far and wide. And together, these two are absolutely on a mission to bring us confidence and optimism an infusion of joy that is practically unbreakable, even in the midst of some Um, really tough transits that we just talked through, and this trine reminds us of the big picture.
Thank you, Jupiter, offering a high level view of where we're headed and the empowering sense that we're ready to take it on. This is one of the most positive transits around, and it's here to lift our spirits and reinforce our resilience as we engage with healing this week. However, tiny caveat here, this vibe is so deliciously carefree that it can actually be really tempting to just kind of kick back and relax and tune out some of the heavier themes that we've tackled so far, especially the challenging work with Chiron this week.
Some would call [01:14:00] that being lazy. I don't believe that laziness actually exists. I'm sure I will talk about this a lot more over time. Uh, humans are shaped to seek out stimulation and learning experiences. So when someone's not doing that, when they're taking it easy, they're probably resting, or they might have an aversion to whatever society is telling them they're supposed to be doing.
Such an aversion in fact that they maybe are shutting down. They might be so overwhelmed that they're catatonic. I've been there, um, but they're not being lazy. That's not a real thing. Jupiter rules goofing off, which is not the same as laziness. And with the sun shining on her, the vibes of playfulness and escapism are super high.
So that's not necessarily a bad thing, right? I'm saying that playfulness and escapism and getting out there. And goofing off. can be important, but it can also be avoidance. And that's really the problem here. Avoidant [01:15:00] feelings are something that you might encounter on or around Sunday.
So avoiding inner work in favor of distractions. And while there's 100 percent a place for, you know, rest and mindfulness and breaks and play and even avoidance, try not to let that feeling keep you from doing the harder work when it calls to you, when you know it's what you need to do.
So your action step for this transit is to take note of what you If you're feeling avoidant and challenge your temptation to shy away from doing the hard work. If you don't end up feeling that way, then another thing that you can do to channel this energy is you can start to get a little strategic about expansion.
It's pretty fun. You can use this trying to really zoom out and get a big picture on your business growth. It's really about scheming about big things in your future, which obviously I love to do, and I think most entrepreneurs really feel that way. Jupiter's expansive energy and the sun's clarity are absolutely [01:16:00] perfect for taking stock and assessing long term growth goals and making any big picture changes that you've been considering that will help you scale and expand over time.
Are there aspects of your business that you're keeping small out of habit? Or insecurity. This is a moment to let Jupiter and the Sun help you confidently take whatever step you need, in order to break through that limitation. Are you doing all your marketing on your own while you're keep up with clients?
It might be time to hire a part time marketing assistant To help get some of that stuff off your plate so you can focus on delivering a great product. Or are you already running a team, but you're still doing client work? Should you be? Or is that distracting you from the strategic planning? That will help.
You reach your next growth stage. This is an ideal moment to embrace high level visioning with optimism and clarity. Set your sights on the horizon and move forward with a refreshed sense of purpose. And finally, finally, early [01:17:00] Monday morning, October 14th, We've got a square between the Sun and Mars taking place at 114 a.
m. Pacific, 415 a. m. Eastern, with the Sun at 21 degrees and 29 minutes of Libra, and Mars at the same degree of Cancer. Technically this transit kicks off the following week, right? It's happening next week, but I'm including it here because it has a direct impact on the vibe we're closing out with on Sunday.
So I try to make sure to be comprehensive. Okay, so I'll just come out and say it, the sun is doing a lot right now, and this really prickly transit is definitely not helping. The sun is our ego and our conscious self, and it's clashing with Mars, the planet of action, aggression, and drive. So what's the result?
Your motivations may feel like they are under scrutiny, and you might even get the sense that others are challenging you or sizing you up. With a square, there's a high chance of feeling overly defensive or on the flip side, [01:18:00] overly assertive as a way of compensating for feelings of insecurity
the sun in Libra is urging balance, while Mars in Cancer is not really about it. Cancer's influence on Mars can add a layer of painful emotional volatility, which can make it even more tempting to lash out. The energy boost here is undeniable. With fiery sun, and fiery Mars, but it's really crucial to manage that energy wisely.
You might feel irritable and short tempered or overly eager to stand your ground, but it's best to avoid getting into conflicts under this particular transit, especially pointless ones. This is one of those moments where you might catch yourself getting into it with somebody and think, why am I even arguing about this right now?
And if you find yourself thinking that, stop. Step away. Just back off. Let it cool down. This is not the time. And here's the really tricky part. This square can create tension with people [01:19:00] who we see as authority figures, or anyone we feel Is trying to tell us what to do and for those of us in the entrepreneurial space who left traditional jobs in part because of an aversion towards hierarchy and having a boss, that rebellious spirit might be on high alert towards the end of the week.
So just remember this square is a passing transit. It's not going to last forever, but getting into a really bad fight with somebody in a position of authority or influence over you could have negative consequences that last a lot longer. So just keep that in mind. Your action step for this transit is to channel that energy.
Don't spar, take that energy and channel it somewhere productive. focus on a satisfying concrete task. Something that lets you feel productive while it helps you avoid unnecessary conflicts. So that's like knocking out a big project, checking off some to do's, organizing your workspace, tackling something that you know is going to bring you a sense of accomplishment.
If you're [01:20:00] tempted to clash with someone, just take a deep breath, step back and ask yourself, Is it really worth it? The answer is almost certainly, absolutely not. And when used constructively, you know, this energy can actually fuel pretty impressive progress. So try to channel it in that direction instead.
