01:55 – This week's theme is: The Truth Will Set You Free!

 

02:04 – The three big things this week: First, during the past couple of weeks Mercury, Venus, and the Sun have cleared the opposition with Mars retrograde (Rx) in Gemini! Oppositions have to do with other people. Have people been doing “martial” things in your life? What light was shed on Mars Rx in Gemini topics for you? Gemini has to do with siblings, cars and transportation – perhaps you’ve seen these types of issues? Mercury is related to communication; Venus rules relationships and friendships, finances, jewelry, clothes, and fashion; and the Sun rules authorities and heads of state. Celeste also discusses news and “astrology in action” related to Donald Trump, Kanye West, the Oath Keepers, and Marjorie Taylor Greene. The wild, chaotic energy is also related to Mars Rx, Venus, and the Moon… all out of bounds!

 

11:21 – Second, the Sun squares Neptune on Wednesday! Neptune is the foggy, misty planet of illusions and delusions. Once we get on the other side of square to Neptune, hopefully the fog should lift, and we’ll see more clearly. Will we see news related to drugs, dreams, chemicals, oil, glamour, resignations, scandals, visions, sleight of hand, storms, or surrender/sacrifice? We shall see – these are all Neptunian topics!

 

14:05 – Third, we have a Last Quarter Moon at 24 Virgo on Friday! This is the chop wood/carry water energy! Time to think about improving health and removing that which no longer serves, and separating the wheat from the chaff. Watch out for being overly critical, though. This LQ Moon is related to the Lunar Phase Family from these dates: Sep 17 2020 (New Moon), Jun 17 2021 (First Quarter), Mar 18 2022 (Full Moon), and this is the LQ phase of the cycle!

 

17:00 – On Sunday, the theme is PLAYFUL. The Moon is in Cancer; it enters Leo at 12:08 pm PT. The Disseminating Moon phase at 5 Leo occurs at 10:40 pm.

 

18:11 – On Monday, the word of the day is FRUITFUL. Moon continues in Leo. People may feel upbeat! The Sun in Sagittarius sextiles Saturn in Aquarius.

 

19:07 – Tuesday's focus is BRAINSTORM. A good day for creative thinking – enjoy the quintiles happening today!

 

19:57 – On Wednesday, the word is TRUTH. Set yourself free. The Moon enters Virgo at 12:45 am PT. The Sun squares Neptune (at 22 Sagittarius and Pisces).

 

21:08 – On Thursday, the theme is BUSTED! Don’t get caught with your hand in the cookie jar. Mercury trines the North Node in Taurus, and is quincunx Mars Rx in Gemini.

 

22:20 – On Friday, the emphasis is LEARNINGS. The LQ Moon at 12:55 am PT occurs at 24 Virgo. The Moon enters Libra at 11:49 am PT.

 

23:20 – On Saturday, the word is UNCONVENTIONAL. Mercury in Capricorn trines Uranus in Taurus. Make a new recipe. Mars Rx in Gemini quincunxes the South Node in Scorpio.
