MBC Podcast Episode 15
===
[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 a more magical, more lucrative, and most importantly, a more fun business.
Fun experience. Okay. So I was trying to figure out whether to focus on Mercury or Mars this episode for the weekly breakdown, but I'm actually going to talk a little bit about the science and art of interpretation. I thought this could be helpful because this is a really busy week astrologically, and I'm going to be simplifying my explanation of what's going on by tracking the interactions between individual clusters of planets across the week, instead of going Day by day by day.
Sometimes it's better to follow several planets that are interacting very intimately across an entire week, rather than trying to keep track of everything going on day to [00:01:00] day, because it helps you see where the story is, like you're following a story arc throughout the week. So I'm going to be doing that this week.
And I want to preface everything we're going to talk about later with some context and perspective on how you can approach filtering cosmic events through your perspective to glean your own unique meanings from them. All right. At its essence, astrology is a system of meanings assigned to specific entities, whether they're real, like planets or constellations, or hypothetical entities, like a point or an angle.
So think like your mid heaven and the North and South nodes. In this sense, astrology is scientific in a way, but I like to think of it more like a language. Languages are systems of meaning. Okay. And while they're usually pattern based, there's a ton of space for self expression and nuance because of the complexity of how we interpret meaning, and also the sheer size of the set of words that we're working with.
And of course, it's not just about the number of words, but how many different ways you can combine them while still making sense. It's practically endless. [00:02:00] Now, to be more specific, when I'm interpreting astrological events, I usually start by taking a look at a planet, which is always hanging out in a sign, and that's also in a house if we're looking at a natal chart or a chart for a specific event.
in total, if we just look at the main 10 planets that I like to work with, plus the 12 signs, plus the 12 houses, we've got 1, 440 possible unique combinations that can come into play. And I'm not even including hypothetical points or angles here. Like, again, you're midheaven. All of that ratchets the numbers up even higher.
If I then want to consider day to day transits to see how they're impacting that birth chart, which is something I do with my own chart all the time, that's where things really start to get weird. And two points in time, both of which can include pretty much any of the 1, 440 possible planet slash side slash house combos available.
That's 1, 440 times 1, 440 possible combinations. But there are also normally five core aspects. The [00:03:00] square, trine, sextile, conjunction, and opposition. Um, I pay attention to all of those too. So we're actually looking at 1, 440 to the fifth power. That's 1, 440 times 1, 440 times 1, 440 times 1, 440 times 1, 440 times 1, 440.
It's a lot. Um, and that's not exactly right, uh, because whatever the natal charts house positioning, is, it'll dictate specifically where different transiting planets can possibly exist because they're constrained by the angles they're forming to the natal chart planets. and also due to like, whatever the specific, Transit is, so if it's a trine, That determines the possibilities for what sign and what house different planets will fall into.
It's like highly complex, but the point that I'm trying to make here is that regardless, it's an incredibly massive number of possible combinations, each with a unique meaning when all the elements are viewed in context next to each other. It's a literally impossible number of combinations of meanings to remember.
So how do we learn to read the stars and planets if we can't [00:04:00] create 6. 19174 times 10 to the power of 15 flashcards? That's just another way of representing this number. It's astronomically large. The answer to parsing this massive system of practically infinite possibility and meaning is interpretation.
Astrological interpretation is the practice of using your knowledge to of the individual planet, house, sign, and transit meanings, plus probably some other stuff, as building blocks of meaning that help you assign more complex meanings to planetary aspects and other events. Astrology isn't perfectly analogous to language.
It's not. It's not exactly a language, but it's got some cool overlap because interpretation is about taking individual elements, like words, but here I'm talking about the planets and angles and points and all that, and combining them in ways that make sense. As in, I'm not saying that, you know, Scorpio is in Taurus, you can't say that because those are both zodiacal signs and they don't overlap ever.
Um, so it has to make sense. Uh, and when I take [00:05:00] those elements and combine them in ways that actually do follow the rules, I get a sentence that has a complex meaning. For example, Mars in Capricorn in the eighth house, transuranus in Virgo in the fourth house. That phrase is a bunch of unique signifiers stacking up into a meaning of increasing complexity as we continue to read through the sentence.
And the way I usually like to think about it, the planets are nouns. And the signs are like adjectives. That's not a hard and fast rule, but it helps you understand that generally we think of the planet or point as the central meaning and the sign as imparting some kind of flavor to it. Mars in Capricorn means motivation in the realm of achievement.
It's being flavored by achievement. So that's achievement oriented motivation, basically. Then you add in the house, which is what that planet is concerned with, or is likely to be thinking about. The eighth house is ruled by Scorpio, so it deals with transformation, among other things.
So Mars and Capricorn in the eighth house [00:06:00] could be interpreted as achievement oriented motivation regarding transformative change. And if I saw that in someone's chart, I might say that they are motivated to achieve recognition in their career for being a transformer, someone who can enact massive, lasting change.
And that's just one way of putting the pieces together, because each of those elements has a whole host of possible meanings that are related to each other. Bye. They are fundamentally different. Then add in the fact that my Mars in Capricorn in the eighth house is trining Uranus in Virgo in the fourth or whatever, and we're really stacking meaning in a very complex way.
So astrology, like any language, is full of an enormous amount of space for personal nuance and play as you select the meanings that make the most sense to you in the broader context of the full sentence that you're interpreting. When we interpret astrological sentences, we build layers of meaning by thinking them over and sharing them and talking about them, explaining, or maybe even teaching them.
And these layers add up to a completely [00:07:00] unique signature over time that mark your personal style and perspective. As an astrologer, and that signature is shaped by so many things, your personal values, your life experiences, and of course, the vision you hold for how this knowledge can help others.
Because of how woobly interpretation is, and yes, that's a technical term, it means that not only are there virtually endless combinations to interpret, but also every single person is going to have their own unique take on every single transit. When we interpret astrological equations, we add layers of meaning and context as we think them over, etc.
So, for instance, I interpret transits through the lens of business, but beyond that, my life experiences as an entrepreneur, a coach, a spiritual advisor, also layer over the interpretations that I make. That also includes my experience being a black woman who grew up in the United States.
Being a person with ADHD and autism that was [00:08:00] undiagnosed for a really, really long time. All of that has impacted my experience and impacts my perspective as I interpret astrological events. My ultimate goal is to support people who are both spiritually inclined, the Wu folk, and who are also committed to bringing in revenue so that they can.
Increase the impact that they make on this world, make it a better place. So my goal is to help you stay motivated and aligned as you navigate the ups and downs of running a business. And this mission itself shapes everything I share with you. And it's why you'll hear me talking so much about things like courage and motivation during Mars transits or strategy with Mercury.
And there's where the real beauty of astrology shows up for each of us. It's highly unlikely that you'll ever find someone who interprets transits exactly the same way you do, because they are simply not you. They don't have your unique set of values or experiences or goals. And just like with a language, it's your vocabulary and your references and your goals that make the way you interpret [00:09:00] the stars your own.
This is one of my favorite parts about astrology. It's so vast that we're always learning, always adding to our interpretive frameworks and always refining our astrological accent, so to speak. It also means that astrology is a lifelong study where you're free to keep evolving and adjusting and expanding your interpretations based on who you are and what you're most aligned with.
In fact, it's inevitable, And so now that we're all warmed up there, uh, let's dive into this week's transits. We're going to do a quick vibe check. Okay, we have a completely unmanageable 12 events to talk about this week, with full representation from every single astral body that I like to pay close attention to.
So I'm going to try something a little different. I don't want to drop any more hour and a half long episodes on you because it's honestly, it's just not fair. So I'm going to pay special attention to the groupings of planets as I see them over the next week, and I'm going to keep it pretty tight. I'll have some timestamps in the show [00:10:00] notes, so if you're focused on a particular planet's energy right now, you can skip around to what matters most to you.
That can be really useful. And also, you should sign up for my newsletter if you want something that is both comprehensive and also highly skimmable. So visit mysticalbusinesscoach. com and you'll see a sign up right there. Zero spam, just sweet, sweet transit tracking, plus some bonus goodies like tarot card interpretations and other cool stuff like that.
It's super fun. All right, this week kicks off with two Monday morning transits, including a Venus Saturn square. That seems to be a standalone transit, but I'll explain how it fits into the bigger picture in a little bit.
And then we've got a series of clusters of interlocking transits that can be tracked as individual arcs. One involves Mercury, Mars, and Neptune. Who are interacting in a series of beautiful trines.
Across the week, and then they're interwoven with a set of two additional Mercury Mars interactions with Pluto for a total of five transits that play out in a really interesting and beautiful and [00:11:00] ultimately very useful way. Our other major series of events involves a completely different flavor of energy. We've got Venus, Jupiter, and Chiron hanging out together this week,
plus some Saturn action earlier in the week with Venus
to kick things off on a really specific note, and we'll get into it.
So if we want to read all of these arcs together, then we're clarifying our vision for our business. We're creating a concrete strategy to achieve it. We're refining how we provide results to our clients, and we're putting sustainable growth measures in place to align our product delivery and our communication through marketing and even self care activities towards this clarified vision.
That's a lot of things. I'm calling out exercises that you can do as I go. Word to the wise, none of the exercises I suggest need to take you more than 20 to 30 minutes, and you can also pick and choose according to what you sense is most needed in your business right now.
And there's one major [00:12:00] event that I've left out of this introduction, and it's what we're going to kick off our deep dive into the individual transits with. Because it forms the backdrop to the entire week, and that is our new moon in Scorpio. Taking place smack dab in the middle of all the activity. On Friday morning at 5. 47am Pacific, 8. 47am Eastern Time. The new moon ushers in November with a depth and intensity befitting the changing seasons as we begin our slide from autumn into winter. The moon rules our emotional landscape, and while you can absolutely focus on how she impacts your complex internal emotional state as a person running a business, which is very rollercoastery, and it's extremely important to recognize that emotional work and regulation are key to being able to survive this line of work at all, the moon I think it's also really valuable to consider that the moon cycle is impacting humanity on a broader scale.
We're all going through that together. It's undeniable that we're all [00:13:00] impacted by the moon's ebb and flow. Data is readily available that demonstrates that many organisms, not just humans, but including us, we enter into a heightened energetic state as we near the full moon and become more still around the new moon.
In last week's episode, I talked about the astrology of the days of the week and how the individual energy of each day helps shape an arc that we all seem to travel along together, regardless of what our work schedule is. The moon is much the same, with her presence a part of our daily experience, even for those of us who don't have a scrap of psychic receptivity in their bodies, you know?
Third eye firmly shut. That's okay. And it's that influence over group dynamics that makes the moon really excellent to organize your marketing around, especially if you're not into complex transit prospecting to organize your calendar around.
The moon provides a predictable ebb and flow that you can build your efforts around for maximum alignment with the social waves that we're all riding together. In a cycle. So [00:14:00] let's talk business action. New moons are traditionally for manifestation, which is where we plant the seeds of dreams and our desires that grow until we're able to release them at the time of the full moon.
Around the new moon, you can start a new campaign arc. You can start any ambitious new effort in general, really. Uh, but it's best for planting those seeds through your marketing, through your email campaigns, through your podcast, however it is that you get out into the world and share about your products.
Just a note to be mindful of letting your siren song slip into manipulation, with this new moon residing in the sign of Scorpio, a sign that very much enjoys power, sometimes to the point of pulling on people's strings in an insidious way. So for me, a ground rule I have is that I do not use fear based tactics to stoke panic in prospective customers.
There's a huge difference between sharing a possible scenario with prospective customers that can help them identify themselves as someone who you could actually help, as opposed to painting a picture of [00:15:00] absolute horror for them that sends their pulse skyrocketing through the roof and gets them buying from you because they're in a state of nervous system crisis.
That's really not cool. So tread lightly, friends, because those fear based buyers are likely not your actual ideal clients. And that only serves to dilute your audience and client base over time. It's also just not ethical. So be a little careful with Scorpio, okay? Power can be an incredibly important thing, uh, but it can also be quite dangerous if misused, which it so often is in the world of marketing.
Okay, so with that magnificent new moon backdrop in place, let's talk about some transits. Thanks to all the planets who are gliding through water signs right now, there is a beautiful series of three interlinked water trines taking place over the course of the whole week, with Mars, Neptune and Mercury all harmonizing together as we go through Mars Neptune on Monday, Mercury Neptune on Thursday, and Mercury Mars on Saturday.
A megatrine that takes [00:16:00] place between three planets is called a grand trine. And when a grand trine takes place, it's like a portal opens up between these three beautiful points. And as you traverse that portal, your day to day strategy mind and your momentum are going to hurdle you towards your ultimate vision for your business.
Mercury will be in Scorpio for this grand trine. And Scorpio Mercury is intensely intellectual with an increased ability to conduct deeply penetrating analysis. Mars will be in its fall in Cancer, which yields a somewhat cranky and defensive planet. But Cancer also lends a protective and nurturing energy to Mars's usual wild and possibly destructive forward momentum, which is honestly a good thing in my book.
And of course, that leaves Neptune in Pisces, the final water sign, Which lends dreamy Neptune an extra dose of psychic veil thinning power. Neptune is in domicile in Pisces because Neptune rules Pisces. So Neptune is extra Neptune y, meaning your [00:17:00] dreams are extra dreamy.
And unfortunately, your delusions are extra delusional. Neptune has been transiting through Pisces since 2011 and won't transition out until 2025. So it's been a minute. And you're likely already very used to this extra intense flavor of Neptune. So there's nothing special here. It's, it's just the same deal that you've been, been experiencing for probably about as long as you can remember
having dreams that are focused around your business
mercury and Mars rule your mind and your muscles respectively. And through the lens of business, I tend to think of this as our day to day busy work and our drive that keeps our motors running. These two are practical, immediate, direct, they're like a SWAT team in your back pocket. They are terrestrial planets made of solid rock.
They're personal planets that deal with the self very directly. These two are vibing with Neptune, who has a very different thing going on. Neptune is the planet of dreams and ideals. Neptune is an [00:18:00] ice giant cloaked in swirling gases. A social planet far, far away from the sun that deals with much larger scale issues and concepts.
This makes for some incredibly inspiring energy as our daily focus and problem solving hops aboard the Mars rocket and blasts you forward towards your wildest dreams for your business. Let's get into the actual pieces of this grand trine themselves, shall we?
Okay, first up, angle one of the trine, we have Mars trining Neptune with Mars at 27 degrees and 34 minutes of cancer and Neptune at the same degrees of Pisces on Monday, October 28th at 5 31 a. m. Pacific 8 31 a. m. Eastern. This gorgeous trine, it rushes you straight towards your dreams.
Mars is the rocket, the energy, the fuel, and Neptune is your vision for your business. On a technical level, this can mean feeling an extra flush of optimism and energy that drives your ability to check all the boxes, demolish entire projects in a third of the time, and do [00:19:00] it all while firmly pointed directly at your vision for the future.
It's incredibly useful energy for entrepreneurs who need all the energy we can get, am I right? For phase one of this series of trines, Mars and Neptune want to support you in taking aligned actions, any aligned actions, whatever you need most in order to push towards your dream.
But I have a specific suggestion for you. To kick things off, I want to ask a really important question. Do you have an ultimate vision for your business? Do you know what you want it to look like in its final form? Do you want it to sustain you forever? Do you plan to sell it and start something new? And more importantly than that, the question you need to answer first is what life are you planning for yourself that your business is going to unlock?
What's your vision for yourself? These are really difficult questions. And if you are not perfectly clear on them, that's something you need to do ASAP. Do some wild, unfettered brainstorming around your ultimate vision and really use Mars's energy to fuel [00:20:00] your passion and dare to dream courageously. You may think brainstorming belongs exclusively to the realm of nerdy Mercury, but that's where you'd be wrong.
Brainstorming is Martian in that you aren't trying to control the ideas that come pouring out, and it's actually best when you completely give up control and just let Mars take the wheel, especially when your brainstorming is around delicate issues like your vision for the future and your dream for the life you want to accomplish and the kinder world you want to usher into existence.
It can be scary to dream so audaciously. So today, let courageous Mars help you out. Alright, next up, we're going to take a small detour from our trine to talk about a transit that's impacting specifically Mercury's energy throughout the week. On Wednesday, Mercury is opposing Uranus at 3. 15pm Pacific, 6.
15pm Eastern, with Mercury at 25 degrees and 57 minutes of Scorpio, and Uranus at 25 degrees and 57 minutes of Taurus. So we've had our fair share, or maybe more than our fair share, of antagonistic Mercury [00:21:00] Uranus energy, and we're in for some more, um, but this is a good opportunity to examine the difference between a square and an opposition.
Mercury square Uranus was like two entities squaring off, butting heads, and pushing against each other, like they're in each other's way, and we experienced that quite a lot, uh, over the summer. Squares can be a real knockdown, drag out fight, and as such, our job is to find a way to just weather the storm and learn something from the challenge.
An opposition, on the other hand, is more like we're dealing with a disagreement between two entities who are having a difference of opinion, and each of them is trying to pull the other over to their side. Our job when we're hit by an opposition,
is to find a compromise. Your action here is to do whatever it takes to keep your nerves, your anxiety, and your doubts ruled by Uranus from clouding your mercurial clarity and focus. These doubts are going to show up as you start to worry about how realistic your dreams actually are, but you need to find a way to clear them out of your mind [00:22:00] as they start to crop up.
Remember that there are so many people who have climbed this mountain before you, and you are beyond brilliant enough to make it. To get yourself through those moments of doubt, listen to a song you love and dance along. Ask a good friend to give you a pep talk, you've already made.
Like just getting started in the first damn place, which is a step farther than most people who want to start a business ever get. You got this. Okay. On Thursday, October 31st, First of all, it's Halloween slash Samhain, which is the best holiday, so that's awesome. And it's also the day of the second angle of this water trine hitting exactitude.
Trine two involves Mercury and Neptune, our mind and our ideals, beautifully aligned with echoes of motivating Mars in the mix. Mercury will be at 27 degrees and 30 minutes of Scorpio, and Neptune's at the same degrees of Pisces.
When our mind and our ideals have an opportunity to align, It might be time to take a look at how you're spending your day to day to [00:23:00] evaluate whether the moves you're making that make up your routine are truly in support of your ultimate vision for your business. If you did ride the powerful burst of Mars Neptune Shining Energy on Monday and you clarified your vision, kudos to you, and Thursday is the day to bring Mercury into play by refining it and starting to craft a plan.
When our mind and our ideals have an opportunity to align, it might be time to take a look
at how we're actually anticipating accomplishing the goals that we have. We need to start interrogating the ultimate vision for our business so that we can start to build a ladder from where we are to where we need to be.
And Thursday is the day to bring Mercury into play by refining that vision and starting to craft an actual plan. Before you can see a clear path to your goals, you need to know how much money it's going to take to accomplish them. So I'm going to ask you to do something scary. Okay. Make a list of every single thing you want in an ideal version of your life.
Use a spreadsheet [00:24:00] and take the time to assign a monetary value to each thing. A down payment and mortgage on a house that fits your family. An annual vacation abroad to expand your horizons. Clothes that feel more comfortable on your body because, honestly, that's a luxury these days. Charity. So important to us heart led business people out here trying to make an impact.
Tuition for your kids or your nieces or nephews or your grandchildren to go to college. A new car that you don't have to worry about breaking down every time you drive it. A lot of us have been there. This is a time to really dig into what would improve your quality of life. I know it's scary. Trust me.
This is one of the first things I did as I entertained the idea of starting a business that truly terrified me. You need to lean into Neptune's dreaminess anytime your Mercury starts to raise an eyebrow, because Mercury can be a bit of a scooch,
especially with nervous Uranus tugging at her. Mercury is practical, so unlike with single minded Mars and head in the clouds Neptune, you're gonna have to appease Mercury with [00:25:00] facts to keep her focused. Do some research to find the approximate cost of all that you desire, and add it up. Look at that number.
Figure out what the annual costs are. That's what your business needs to bring in every year. Take a deep breath. You can do this. Okay, and for the third and final vibey trying between Mercury, Mars and Neptune, Mercury and Mars partner up for a blast of analytical energy on Saturday, November 2nd, with Mercury at 29 degrees and 22 minutes of Scorpio and Mars at 29 degrees and 22 minutes of cancer.
This is the leg of the journey that's taking place at the anaerobic degrees of the zodiacal signs. Our planets are coasting through. So that intensifies the influence of geoscience. Deep penetrating Scorpio and emotional protective cancer on the transit. Neptune is so dreamy. He oftentimes inspires us with intoxicating visions for the future, but ultimately leaves us stranded when it comes to actually designing and constructing the ladder that's going to take us to our dreams, let alone actually helping us climb the damn [00:26:00] thing.
Lucky for us, Mercury and Mars are here to help us build that concrete plan and even get started on achieving it. Mercury is highly practical from a strategic perspective. As mentioned earlier, Mercury's head is not in the clouds. In fact, her feet are firmly planted on the ground pretty much at all times.
And Mars, while honestly not actually terribly practical, is quite physical. Mars helps us succeed where the rubber meets the road. And both of their support is especially useful when we need to direct our actions in a clear and specific way. So, you've got your Mars Neptune vision for your ultimate life, sustained by your ultimate business, and your Mercury Neptune breakdown of what that cost is going to be like.
So now it's time to lean into Mercury and Mars to start making a clear plan. Building that ladder to the stars. That can look a lot of different ways to a lot of different people, but I suggest that you get started by figuring out how much of the types of products you're considering selling, you would actually need to sell in order to bring [00:27:00] in the revenue that you're aiming for.
If things seem off, play around with the different types of offerings at different price points. One annual mastermind seat can bring in as much as 10, 000. Thousands of 20 ebook downloads, create some product milestones for yourself. And remember your ultimate vision is going to take you years to accomplish.
It might even take decades. That's totally okay. So just settle in and celebrate every single incremental step along the way. And it's worth noting too, that if you are starting to dig into product here, there are some really awesome supportive Venus related transits that are going down during this week, too, and so you can really lean into Venus's energy, especially when Venus and Chiron and Venus and Jupiter are harmonizing together.
That's going to help a lot. Okay, so as we close out this Mercury Mars Neptune Grand Trine, we're also kicking off a set of transits between Mercury Mars and Pluto, where the Mercury Mars Trine forms sort of a bridge. This is interesting because whereas our Grand Trine [00:28:00] was all support, with a little Uranian conflict for Mercury, now as Pluto gets involved, the planet of transformation gets along great with Mercury, but has a bit of a difference of opinion with Mars.
Another thing to note going into these three transits is that they're all taking place in the anoretic degrees of their signs. So again, that's when planets are transiting through the 29th degree, the final and most intense degree of a sign. So it's like the energetic volume is turned way up to keep that in mind.
OK, so the first two Pluto transits in a row as Mercury and Mars connect with the planet of transformation and metamorphosis.
Okay, so let's take a minute to talk about the first of two Pluto transits in a row as Mercury and Mars wrap up their trines and connect with the planet of transformation and metamorphosis, heavy stuff. This pairing does follow right on the heels of that Mercury Mars trine.
So these three transits are interlinked, even if they aren't aspecting in the same way [00:29:00] with a series of trines, the way that Mercury Mars and Neptune were. Uh, instead, what we've got here is a trine, a sextile and an opposition. So it's a little bit less powerful than that grand trine that we were just talking about, but still very, very impactful.
The story this series tells is about harmony between our mind and our motivation, with Mercury and Mars joining together to help you make concrete plans to achieve your wildest dreams, which we just covered, spilling into Mercury sextiling Pluto for supportive opportunities and actually enacting the plan as a step towards transformation.
This takes place on Saturday and Mercury will be at 29 degrees and 45 minutes of Scorpio. And Pluto at the same degrees of earthly Capricorn, that is a Mercury Pluto sextile, it's awesome. Essentially, your mind is being primed for ascension to the next level, super cool. And it's very much worth noting that Pluto doesn't just create the right energetic space for you to transform, they also create the right [00:30:00] context for you to enact transformation for others.
And if you're in the business of delivering any kind of service for other people, then, newsflash, you're in the business of facilitating transformation. Especially since we're already feeling Neptunian and getting wrapped up in our dreams and visions for the future, we can keep that going by extending our high level business reflections to include
pluto's realm. What the transformation is that we're building our business to accomplish. While we're making our own dreams come true, how are we helping other people do the same for themselves? Let's talk about a business action here. Mercury is here to help us identify opportunities to refine our approach to accomplishing transformative results.
Maybe this energy will help us resolve the tension between Venus and Saturn this week, which we'll talk about in just a minute. This is where Pluto and Venus harmonize specifically for folks who place enormous value, Venus, in transformation, Pluto.
So an action that you can take is to revisit what it is that you actually [00:31:00] do for people. What is the transformation that you offer? And even more importantly, as far as Mercury and Pluto are concerned, how do you accomplish that?
Then on Saturday, November 3rd, Mars opposes Pluto with Mars at 29 degrees and 46 minutes of Cancer and Pluto at the same degrees of Capricorn. NASA Okay, so Pluto was here for Mercury, but not so much for Mars. So what's going on there? When Mars and Pluto are in opposition, it oftentimes means that Mars wants to rush forward as Mars is wont to do.
And Pluto wants to reset. Pluto is often in favor of the nuclear option. So if you come across any little stumbling blocks or bumps in the road, as you're doing all this planning and work on your biz, and you 100 percent will, it's part of the deal, Pluto can show up and start egging you on to burn it all down and start again.
Sometimes that's a good instinct to have when something truly fundamentally isn't working or is misaligned with who you are on a core level. But [00:32:00] most of the time It's not the right call. So try to figure out specifically what's triggering the desire to toss it all out and start over if you do encounter it.
Because it's not an instinct that you want to indulge without some seriously careful thought. All right. And on Sunday. Sunday, November 3rd at 8:09 PM. Pacific 11:09 PM. Eastern. Mars ingressives into Leo. This is awesome news. Uh, if you've been feeling jittery about any of the boss moves that you're making this week. Mars in Leo is here to clap you on the back. And to give you the strength and courage to keep going. My. Mars is actually in Leo and for a long time, that was the most difficult. Placement for me to wrap my head around. I mean, I also do have an. An admittedly weird relationship with Sagittarius that I've talked about before, but that. That more comes from a lack of understanding of what Saje, uh, is really all. All about that I had back in the day. Whereas with Mars in Leo. It was hard for me to recognize that. Kind of powerful energy in myself. [00:33:00] And ultimately this had a lot more to do with my values then. With my Mars being somehow, you know, less important to me in my chart. Or anything like that, even, even confusion about what that means.
It was actually quite the opposite. But I understood what that meant. Um, Mars in Leo helps us. Take dramatic and courageous action and it often involves centered. Centering ourselves, which is not something that I actually. Truly valued until I was in my thirties, honestly. As a person who was socialized as first, a girl, and then a woman and who. Who also has had ADHD my whole life, as well as being on the autism spectrum. I worked really, really hard to subvert my Mars and I think no. No matter where my Mars placement was, I would've done the same, although to have. It in such a fiery placement.
It was especially hard for me to acknowledge. And maybe you did too.
that. Because we know that as people socialized as girls and women, And as oftentimes, people who are. [00:34:00] Red. and women in society. can feel dangerous. Because Folks don't like it. When. and. When we sent our ourselves and when we speak our minds and when. We throw ourselves into our projects with passion and with fury. And intelligence and beauty. That makes some people angry. And it's not safe all the time to be. woman.
men and women. As being. Martian or It's really, harmful. To deny that each and every human. Has marsh. And has a Venusian aspects. It's a really important part. Of being a whole person. So when you are. Forced into a. Gender identity. That one of the key of self. Mars is aspect of who I am as a person.
am today. At this point, having the. Past, I guess four years, four To [00:35:00] really push myself. Self into And so this might be something that. You identify with when you hear me it. And I'm going. To a. If. If that's the case. If you're feeling courageous Ash. Action. Especially if it's yourself.
Okay. going to get to a place where you have the income. Yes. That means money. The wealth. The resources. To make the kind of massive impact that you want to make in the world. That's so desperately needs it. The only way to do that is to start. Start making choices that benefit yourself. Sometimes. At the great expense. Of others. Even people you love.
mean that anybody's going to be left out in the cold, but what I mean. Is that maybe they don't get to demand quite as much of your time. Or your energy. At least not where you're at least machine of. A business.
our families. In broader society. To Folks who've [00:36:00] been.
to drop. Everything and serve their every needs and it can feel very inconvenient and frustrating. Rating to them. When all of a sudden someone who's been doing a lot of stuff for them. Whether that's actually laundry or cetera, or a lot of the emotional support. That's required of us.
When you start to of your energy on your own work and your mission. Mission. That can be a hard to swallow for But if you want to command. And Capitol. That moves mountains and combats the greedy morons out. Out there who don't care about our collective future at all, then you have to center. Center yourself. Take heart. It's like. Uh, muscle. That you have to work out. It gets easier with time. And just. Remember.
That's centering yourself. Herself in order to build something bigger. That makes so many people's lives. Lives better in the future. It's not selfish.
In a gross or yucky way. What's selfish. Is expecting other people to stop. Working on their earth shaking [00:37:00] projects to wait on. On your hand and foot. So reflect on that a little bit. And here's a suggestion. Do a courage rep. You know about doing reps at the gym, right. You take on. On incremental amounts of weight as you go. So that you build your muscles bigger and bigger and over time, your power lifting,
this is. The same deal. Take one tiny step. Set a boundary that gives. You a little bit more time, decline and invitation, even if. The other party feels miffed about it because they expect or even demand. And a certain amount of attention from you on a regular basis That you just can't afford to give them right now. You're changing the world. You. You need your energy. Do more courage reps over time and soon. You'll be a powerlifter there too.
Okay, so that. Does it for mercury Mars and Neptune's grand trine with a splash. Plutonian involvement. So next up, let's take a look at the interactions between. Venus Jupiter and Chiron with some stern input from sat. Saturn at the top. This series of transits isn't as tidy as the mercury. Mars [00:38:00] Neptune grand trine, but they're interwoven in a way that also tells. A really interesting story.
And they also take place across the same span of time. Time starting on Monday and then wrapping up on Sunday.
The first part of this Venus centric series. Kicks off with some context for our planet of love, value and deep. Connection. On Monday, October 28th at 6:35 AM Pacific. 9:35 AM. Eastern Venus forms, a square with Saturn with Venus. At 12 degrees and 58 minutes of Sagittarius. And Saturday at 12 degrees. Agrees and 58 minutes of Pisces, Venus inside is in short. Short. Awesome. Sagittarius is one of the signs ruled by Jupiter. And Venus and Jupiter love each other.
So Venus in sag is vibing, expansive, feeling her powers amplified by. Jupiter's expansive energies. It's awesome. Saturn and Pisces. However is not in as rata position because Pisces is Saturday. And sign of detriment. Saturn is about rules and boundaries and structure. and control. So [00:39:00] she doesn't feel able to fully express her true nature. In the sign of wishy washy, psychic nebulousness. The best way I've heard this dynamic described is. Is that Saturn is trying to build a super elaborate sand castle, but. Pisces watery waves.
Keep melting it back into the surf. But. I think there's something to be said for embracing planets in their detriment. Um, and even in their fall, right. I've mentioned this. Before, especially with Mars in cancer,
Saturn could use a little softening. I think. And Pisces really helps round out those sharp edges a little bit. So we have Venus and Savage squaring, a slightly soft. Softened more empathetic Saturn in Pisces. This is one of those squares. Is that just kind of makes sense because squares represent a challenge or a point. Of impasse between two planets. And I can see chill.
Good vibes only. Venus in Sagittarius having a number of points of contention with. Really structured and holier than thou Saturn in Pisces. One thing to really look out for under this transit. Transit is that you might be encountering [00:40:00] problems when it comes to delivering on the value. Value you hope to provide to your clients? So when Venus and Saturn get together. And we're looking at our business.
Oftentimes we're talking about products. Thanks to Venus dealing with value and Saturn dealing with the build of our products. Uh, products, meaning whatever programming, packages, sessions, eBooks. Books courses, et cetera, you sell. Venus relates directly. To the value you provide to others. And she approaches product development and. Delivery with charm and warmth and all the love in the world for. For the customers and clients she supports, which is great. But Saturn is. The part of the product equation that usually goes by the wayside.
For those of us who've gotten to business. Because we love delivering an amazing product. Saturn. Is concerned with the nuts and the bolts of product building and delivery as part. Part of the holistic series of interlocking systems that form. Form your business. So it's the boring part. Or for many of us, the. The scary part. So what can we do when you're feeling. This tension [00:41:00] between wanting to deliver an amazing product, but finding that maybe. Maybe you're lacking some of the systems and perhaps the discipline to deliver. In a really stellar and consistent way.
Like if you're always falling behind. On emails with clients or finding yourself, pulling all nighters to get prepped. Or to deliver on your promises because you didn't have a system in place to help you parcel. Parcel out your time wisely or to really plan ahead. And. This can be a little tricky for those of us who are absolutely terrified of even trying. To create systems.
And just to be clear by systems, I mean, work. Workflows. So repeating ways that you pattern and regulate your time. As well as the kind of deep planning that gives you clear steps to take that ladder. Up to your Neptunian vision for your business. And planning that also. Helps you remember when to take those steps?
It's logistics. It's about what to do when in. Order to accomplish a specific goal that you've set for yourself. And it's. Also about making sure that none of the different arms of your business accidentally get. Ignored, like making sure you're dealing with your [00:42:00] taxes. I. I know, not the most fun part of the biz for like 95%. Of us.
There are some folks out there where taxes are their jam. I don't want to ignore you guys. Your. Incredible. And when you help the rest of us out, we really appreciate it. But most of. Of us are not there with you. But I do think that this is also where the poetry. Of Saturn in Pisces can help saturn and Pisces seem irreconcilable.
They're two very different types. Of energy. But when they come together, they reveal how something as dry sounding. As consistency and discipline. . When it comes to ordering our behaviors, like having, you know, good, productive, Inductive habits.
How it can. Actually be viewed from a much more appealing lens. If we decide. To approach it that way. Pisces helps us shape habit. Into ritual. Can you change your relationship with responsibility? By reconsidering it as a type of worship. When I'm doing structural work in my business.
I see. I see it as a tribute to Saturn. I like to take my Saturn crystal sphere and. Put it on my [00:43:00] desk. I like to wear black Saturn's color. I mean, I do in general. But especially when I'm working on systems. In general, I. I use spiritual trappings to help me think of working with Saturn less. Less as some dry, boring slog and more as channeling and embodying the. The energies of this Astro body to borrow her power, to support my business. And I always say, thank you afterwards.
Maybe burn something. Or, you know, bury something. We all have our own ways of showing appreciation. So, is this something that you can bring into your practice? Will this help? You reshape your relationship with systems.
Give it a try.
All right, early on Saturday morning, October 12th. We're graced with a supportive sex tile between Jupiter and Chiron. Juicy cosmic setup for super expensive and long lasting healing. The exact time is 12:35 AM Pacific. Pacific 3:35 AM Eastern with Jupiter stationed at 21 degrees. And 19 minutes of Gemini and Chiron at [00:44:00] 21 degrees and 19. I mean minutes of Aries, this transit is all about finding grounded relief in both our business and. And personal landscapes, but to leverage the sextiles energy we have. To actually put in some effort and that's.
Par for the. Course with a sextile.
Jupiter station retrograde on Wednesday, October. Ninth. So we're seeing this transit again quickly after. Just a couple of weeks and I don't hate that at all. Since October 12th.
Health We've been traveling through a window of time. That's been bookended by these two supportive. Sex tiles. And if you listen to the original podcast episode where. I talked about this healing portal. Hopefully you've given some thought and paid some attention. To using the energy to help with whatever healing process you've been working on. Both internally, as well as. Externally as in healing aspects of your business. As a reminder, Jupiter's optimism and vision blend with Chiron's healing power in. A way that helps you feel more ready to tackle both the inner work and the tangible. Changes your business needs Jupiter and Chiron together can make healing field manager. [00:45:00] Manageable and grounded.
So think of it as a warm, supportive nudge in the direction. Of growth rather than a push. During the second of the two sextiles. The healing power available to us jumps in potency. So even. If you haven't been on any kind of healing journey so far consider taking the time. Time to find one small way to channel this very supportive energy.
Here's an example, use this period to take one actionable. Actionable step towards unblocking expansion in your business. What are expensive. Pensive actions. In a business setting. Ultimately enabling expansion requires making choices that help you to scale. Your business and how do businesses grow? Essentially?
You need to create. Systems and structures that allow for you to sustainably serve more customers. Or clients without exhausting your resources, including your time. Your energy, your mental health. Uh, et cetera, et cetera. So stainable okay. That's the keyword here. Don't just do a bunch of. Marketing and bring on a lot of new customers all at once because you. Very quickly start to [00:46:00] outstrip your ability to deliver your services to them.
All. Especially if you've been building your business lean and mean, which I'm guessing you have as. Most of us do. Jupiter and Chiron together. Want to support your growth? With sustainably with Chiron helping you anticipate how the stretch. Of Jupiter's influence might put pressure on your systems, chiron reminds us to. Put measures into place to continuously heal those stretch points as you grow. And without fortifying them, your growth is going to be tenuous.
It can end up collapsing on itself, like over proofed bread dough. That's my favorite metaphor to use there. So you need Chiron in there. Beefing up your gluten to support the increased volume.
Here's some examples of how to get started scaling your business. To the next threshold in a sustainable way. You can create a product. That you can sell with little to no personal intervention, meaning a standalone. Course that you can film once and sell forever or an ebook or a. Gated podcast series that walks your clients through a process or experience there. There are tons of options here and you can spend a [00:47:00] lot of time developing something.
Elaborate. Elaborate or you can get your foot in the door just by creating something relatively simple. Like a pamphlet or a shorter e-book.
You can also start looking for opportune. Opportunities to get the word out to bigger audiences. If you're ready to handle increased. Volume two, you're not on your website and your social media. But also potentially higher volumes of purchasing, reach out to your favorite podcast. Cast hosts and pitch yourself.
Reach out to blogs and magazines who speak directly. To your ideal client with article pitches and get more serious about focusing. Cussing your marketing attention on your email list, which is your most powerful platform for. Uh, sales. And also if you're on Instagram and tic talk and. And YouTube and Twitter and everything else under the sun. Let's take a cold hard. Look at what's working best for you and start to narrow that focus down so you can get more strategic. About where you're spending your marketing time.
LinkedIn is Terra incognita. Rita for a lot of us who are more spiritually oriented and it's actually an. And especially fertile space. If you are focused on supporting people. People who are in [00:48:00] business. Or supporting folks in. Building businesses.
And the most boss move of. All an act of pure unfiltered delegation. Hire somebody. Hire somebody to do the thing you hate the most, maybe that. You hate so much that it's literally stifling your ability to run your business. If you don't have anything like that, first of all, kudos. Okay. That's amazing.
And very. The unusual. Uh, so just look for an area that takes up a lot of time for you because. It's not your area of expertise. We're to the wise here. If you enjoy performing. And activity in your business enough that you would say it's part of what motivates you to keep. Keep plugging away day after day. Even if you're not amazing at it.
it. Takes more time than a hired expert. Might I say hold onto it for now because. Because you need that motivation to keep you going.
Awesome. So those are some ideas for you. Moving on our second to last transit of this particular. arc is a Venus Jupiter opposition that takes place on Sunday, November 3rd. At 7:25 AM. Pacific 10:25 AM Eastern with Venus. Venus at 20 [00:49:00] degrees and 17 minutes of Sagittarius and Jupiter at. At the same degrees of Gemini,
we saw Venus in conflict with structured Saturn earlier, which made some sense. But now she's coming into conflict with her bestie. Jupiter. When your sense of value and your will to expand are feuding. You can run into a surprisingly similar problem as you do when Venus and Saturn are at odds. Your desire to bend over backwards for clients and feel the satisfaction. Of serving their every single need and product delivery can clash. With your ability to actually scale your business, which is what Jupiter calls us to do. Scaling takes an incredible amount of discipline and willingness to dial it. Back on some of the super deep, intimate And personal relationships with your clients as your client pool expire. Expands.
It just becomes impossible to have that same kind of relationship. Even though your work touches and helps so many more people as you grow. This is an opposition that faces us with a tug of war between. Wanting to serve every single person personally. And [00:50:00] knowing that in order. To grow. You have to let go of that level of intensive control over. Over client delivery. So what to do. It depends. Spends on where you are with your business.
If you're just getting started and finding yourself. Self consistently running into issues where wanting to over-deliver to clients. Keeps you from taking on more clients or spending time, finding ways to diversify. Your income stream, you might need to get more clear with yourself on what the boundaries. Andrey's are around your product. If you're coaching, what are your limits? How were you expecting people to get in touch with you? And where are you drawing the line where they can't. How can you better control how much time your. You're spending while still delivering stellar results.
Can you standardize your process better? So, That you have more control over how much time you spend with each person.
I'm not just to a degree, right. We're not machines, but , the more you can build standardization. Station and predictability into your process. The better.
And of course the other move you can make, if you're at a place where. It makes sense is to hire [00:51:00] somebody again. So let Jupiter and. And honestly, Saturn take the wheel here and find someone to help with. Client delivery. I know it's your baby. I know giving power to someone else. Is really, really hard.
But if you do plan on scaling and shifting into a. CEO role, you're going to have to train first one person and then. Many to replace you, whether that's part of your roadmap, depends on what you. In the future, but if that's your plan and you've already hired folks to take operate, Operations and marketing tasks off your plate, then it's definitely time to consider bringing. On another coach or other type of product delivery person. It's tough, but you can do it.
The final transition. None of this set and the last one that I'm covering on this episode. Phew. Is an awesome one to end things on on Sunday at 8 22. I am Pacific 11:22 AM. Eastern Venus is going to form a tribe. Trine with Chiron with Venus at 20 degrees in 19 minutes of. Of Sagittarius and Chiron at the same degrees of Aries.
Chiron is RC. Our celestial healer [00:52:00] and Aries Chiron is about active healing, healing on purpose with plenty of intention. When Chiron trials. With Venus, you're being called to heal your value. This can mean your sense. Sense of personal value or also professional value? Uh, it can also be. How you communicate about your value to your audience and it can also. Here literally refer to healing your products themselves.
What. Does that mean? It means doing a careful evaluation of how your products are. We're supporting your business currently and how successful they are for the clients. Clients you support. In order to make some decisions about how to fix anything. Anything that isn't working, improve on them and create new iterations that. Are more effective and potent and delicious and useful to the folks purchasing. Cussing them. Uh, than they ever were before. Healing your products. May take facing some hard truths about how sustainable, what you love. To do actually is as you work towards growing your business, if you are. In fact, aiming to scale this energy is very supportive [00:53:00] around digging. Into how scalable not only individual products are, but how your entire product suite might need to be reshaped in order to scale. you need to add. A hands-off product.
As I mentioned earlier. Something that you create once and then you sell forever. Forever. you need to add a higher ticket offer to the mix, do some strategizing around. Around how to make sure your product constellation is on its way to an ideal EcoSys. Ecosystem that does in fact support your ultimate vision. Also. Also just a note to consider using this energy, to do some healing of your. Marketing and brand messaging as well.
You have uncovered a lot about your businesses. This week, if you've gone through some of the action steps that I've suggested. So it's a good. Good idea to take some time and capitalize on the training energies that. We talked about earlier. And then, you know, Venus and Jupiter to reconcile. Concile your marketing and branding with any adjustments that you've made to your vision. And how you think about your product in terms of the transformation. That you offer. It's a little Pluto in there too. Okay. [00:54:00] Totally over the top. That's it for this week. Thank goodness. If you found these insights helpful, don't forget to rate and review, which really.
