Astrology highlights for the week of June 12, 2022:
00:49 – This week's theme is As the Fog Lifts, Clarity Arrives!
00:54 – The week's Big 3: First, a Sagittarius Full Moon could be illuminating for all! The birth of this lunar gestational family was on Dec 14, 2020. This New Moon was a Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius! The Sabian Symbol for this lunation is "A bluebird, a sign of good luck and happiness, is standing at the door of the house." What can you invite in? This Full Moon sextiles Saturn at 25 Aquarius and squares Neptune at 25 Pisces: Reality is available. How can you bring structure to the dream this week? The Sun in Gemini gives information: Facts are provided; can you emotionally connect with wisdom?
04:34 – Second, Mercury is still treading over the old ground of the retrograde (Rx) until the 19th, so there still could be lots of revelations! (Mercury stationed at 4 Gemini initially and went Rx to 26 Taurus: It's in its "shadow period" until it passes 4 Gemini!) Secrets may be revealed.
05:11 – Third: On Monday, Mercury reenters Gemini. The personal planets – Mercury, Mars, and Venus – will all be in their home signs and direct, expressing their energies easily! Mercury in Gemini: How can you communicate clearly, with ease and lightness? Venus in Taurus: How can you magnetize what you want to you? Mars in Aries: How can you create healthy boundaries? How can you feed what you want to grow and release what you want to leave behind?
06:58 – On Sunday, the word of the day is SELF-REFLECTION. Today's transits include the Moon in intense, fixed Scorpio and the Sun on fixed star Bellatrix (the signature of success through the shadow). The Moon's last aspect is an opposition to Mercury in Taurus; it then enters Sag at 3:31 pm PT.
09:02 – On Monday, the theme is PERSUADE. Mercury reenters Gemini at 8:26 am PT. Mercury also parallels Uranus today.
10:10 – Tuesday's focus is ILLUMINATION. What will be revealed? We have the Full Moon at 23 Sagittarius at 7:51am PT. (This Lunar Gestational Cycle is connected to Dec 14 2020, and Sep 14 2021. Can you connect with the story in your own life?) Celeste also shares an astrology in action story related to the 2020 election cycle! At this Full Moon, Mars is conjunct Chiron, and Venus the grape-eater is semisquare Jupiter in Aries! The Moon's last aspect is a square to Neptune and then enters Cap at 3:13 pm PT.
14:23 – Wednesday's word is RECOVERY. Today's transits: Mars conjuncts Chiron at 15 Aries, and Mars is biquintile the South Node.
15:41 – On Thursday, the theme is DECISION. Today transits: the Sun trines Saturn; Venus conjuncts the North Node and parallels Uranus; and the Sun squares Neptune. The Moon enters Aquarius at 2:43 pm PT. The Moon's last aspect is a trine to the Sun.
18:17 – Friday's word is SURPRISE. The Moon parallels Pluto. Uranus in Taurus sextiles Juno (the asteroid of partnership) in Pisces.
19:21 – On Saturday, the word of the day is COMPASSION. Venus squares Saturn and sextiles, Neptune. Mercury leaves the shadow of the retrograde and passes 4 Gemini – hooray! Finally, the Moon enters Pisces at 4:01 pm.
21:06 – Thanks for listening to Celestial Insights! To support the podcast and help others find the show, please follow or subscribe wherever you listen, rate it five stars, or write a lovely review!

Astrology highlights for the week of June 5, 2022:
00:49 – This week's theme is Tiny Triumphs. Believe in yourself! (And here's Celeste's Amazon storefront, with recommended books and oracle decks!)
02:10– The week's Big 3: First, Saturn is stationing to go retrograde (Rx) at 25 Aquarius, and Celeste breaks this down. You may be tested or required to take on more responsibility or may notice increased fear, anxiety, frustration, or limitations. Will the Lord of Karma reward you or call you to account for past actions? Saturn is also parallel Arachne (in myth, she was a weaver turned into a spider by goddess Athena). Saturn is retrograde until Oct. 22, 2022.
06:11 – Second, Mercury is direct, but still on 26 Taurus and the fixed star Algol. It continues to square Saturn but is sextile Neptune at 25 Pisces and trine Pluto at 28 Capricorn. Used well, this may bring creative thinking, the determination to stay with complex tasks, and the will to power through disappointments to get success. Celeste discusses current events and the tragic Uvalde school shooting. The mantra for the week is, "I communicate clearly; when unsure, I request clarification."
10:36 – Third, the Sun is contraparallel asteroid Atlantis, the lost city, on Jun. 7. Celeste shares about this legend with a nod to current events.
12:29 – This week, Celeste shares an archetype of the day with card pulls from the Wild Unknown Archetypes Deck by Kim Krans! On Sunday, the archetype is GNOSIS. Contemplate the mysteries of life. Try not to overintellectualize or literalize things. We start the week with the Crescent Moon in Leo. It may be a bit tense as the Moon opposes Saturn. The last aspect is a square to Mercury on Algol (Saturn is stationed at 25 Aquarius, still in the square with Mercury). The Moon enters Virgo at 11:21 pm PT.
14:02 – On Monday, the archetype is THE PRAYER. It's a visionary day, so how can you ask for guidance? The Virgo Moon's last aspect is a trine to Pluto – be transformative and strategic! The Sun in Gemini is sextile Chiron at 15 Aries, which may spotlight a wound. Venus in Taurus semisquares Neptune in Pisces – call in the dream! Uranus joins Pallas Athene at 16 Taurus, which may bring aha moments of clarity. Finally, Mars squares Ceres. How can you take action for what you want to grow and nurture?
15:40 – The archetype for Tuesday is THE UNDERWORLD. How can you face your fears? Today we have a First Quarter Moon (FQM) at 16 Virgo (7:48 am PT), encouraging us to take action. The Sun is on the fixed star Rigel, part of the constellation Orion. This FQM brings us back to the New Moon from last Sept. 6, 2021, at 14 Virgo: What did you start then, where are you now, and where do you want to be in March 2023 at the related Full Moon? The Sun in Gemini semisquares Uranus in Taurus and also quintiles Jupiter. Mars in Aries semisquares Saturn in Aquarius, which may bring tension with authority. Mars also quintiles Pluto in Cap: How can you work with power structures uniquely?
19:58 – On Wednesday, the archetype is ALETHEIA or TRUTH. Will there be clarity or revelations today? The Moon enters Libra at 8:22 am and ends with a square to Pluto: Remember that some wealth can come from underground.
20:44 – Thursday's archetype is THE WARRIOR, so you may have to stand up for your principles. Venus contraparallels Saturn, possibly bringing tense interactions in relationships. And Mars contraparallels Neptune, which can speak of a spiritual warrior.
21:31 – On Friday, the archetype is THE SIREN. The Moon enters Scorpio at 1:41 pm PT and is in the Gibbous Phase at 5 degrees. The last aspect is an opposition to Mercury – sexy talk, anyone?
22:33 – Saturday offers the archetype of THE SELF. Can you view yourself with detachment from a higher perspective? Venus is conjunct Uranus, possibly highlighting unexpected resources, values, money, or beauty.
22:36 – Thanks for listening to Celestial Insights! To support the podcast and help others find the show, please follow or subscribe wherever you listen, rate it five stars, or write a lovely review!

Astrology highlights for the week of May 29, 2022:
00:49 – This week's theme is "the hero's journey." Do you feel an internal push to move forward? Remember, you're always the hero of your journey! And here's a helpful mantra: "I move past fear, delays, and obstacles - and persevere!"
01:54 – The Big 3 - First, we are now in Gemini Season. This is a mutable air sign that rules communication. Watch for being scattered or anxious: Ground yourself! How can you be sociable? Flexibility, adaptability and curiosity are key.
02:47 – Next, Mercury (which rules Gemini) is retrograde (Rx). It will station on fixed star Algol at 26 Taurus. It's also squaring Saturn at 25 Aquarius. Try not to rush decisions or pressure others. How can you be clear, realistic, and purposeful with your thoughts? It might be helpful to lean into the sextile to Neptune at 25 Pisces and trine to Pluto at 28 Capricorn. Consider: How can you find creative, compassionate, and inspired solutions? How can you be transformative, overcome obstacles, and embrace grit? Celeste discusses how these energies show up in the Depp/Heard trial.
09:20 – Finally, Mars and Jupiter will meet in Aries! They are starting a new cycle around action and abundance. Also, the New Moon this week is on the royal fixed star Aldebaran (9 Gemini). Aldebaran is linked to Mars and Jupiter, and is about success through integrity and honesty – but there's always a price. (If you fail and are not in alignment with integrity, there can be a fall.) How can you embrace enthusiasm and have a pioneering spirit to move forward?
12:57 – On Sunday, the word of the day is DELICIOUS. The week starts with the Moon in Taurus; it's the Balsamic Phase and a time of release. Be present with any thoughts or dreams that may come up to reflect your eclipse story. With ruler Venus also in Taurus, this is yummy! This is the day Mars and Jupiter join up at 3 Aries, so we may feel optimism and a drive to move forward! The shadow can be self-aggrandizement – try not to be obnoxious! The Moon enters Gemini at 10:22 am PT. And the Sun is on Prosperina; connect with family today if possible.
15:06 – On Monday, the word is GRIT. There's a New Moon at 9 Gemini (4:30 am PT). It's been a tough time, so think of how you can move forward steadily and persevere through difficulties. This lunation is conjunct the royal fixed star Aldebaran. How can you manage multiple opposing priorities that demand attention? Mercury is also parallel Sualocin: Lighten up! Set intentions around the house Gemini rules in your chart. (Don't know? Download the Setting Intentions guide from my website, Astrology by Celeste!) Finally, Mercury is sextile Neptune: Use oracle or tarot cards to stimulate your subconscious and connect with your higher power!
18:02 – On Tuesday, the theme is CURIOSITY. The Moon is void most of the afternoon (Pacific time) so get stuff done in the morning. At 1:10pm PT the Moon goes void. Mars parallels Jupiter today: You may have feelings of exuberance and a desire to conquer new frontiers. The Moon enters Cancer at 10:48pm PT: Notice your dreams!
19:16 – On Wednesday (Mercury's day) the word is MINDFUL. Avoid power struggles today: Pluto in Capricorn sequisquares Juno in Pisces. Try to recognize emotions and limit reactions.
20:12 – Thursday's focus is SATISFACTION. The sky is quiet as the Moon remains in Cancer. Stay emotionally grounded. Get out of your head and into your heart. How can you be at home wherever you are?
20:59 – Friday's main topic is WANDERLUST. We have a Crescent Moon, so you may feel the pull forward. Mercury stations direct today (yay!) at 26 Taurus on fixed star Algol. The Sun is parallel asteroid Lilith: Will we have news about a woman who will not be subservient? The Moon enters Leo at 11:37 am PT – woo hoo!
23:38 – Saturday's word is FESTIVE. Saturn stations retrograde at 25 Aquarius. It will be Rx until Oct 23, 2022, and will go back to 18 Aquarius: We may have a sense of treading over old ground. Celeste brings in current news about the Monkey Pox virus and the need for caution. The Sun is also semisquare Pluto today.

Astrology highlights for the week of May 22, 2022:
00:49 – The theme of this week is "the deep"! We are coming off the Scorpio Lunar Eclipse. Did you have some realizations about your relationship with resources, money, self-worth, power, or intimacy? Remember that pressure makes the diamond.
01:58 – 3 big things are happening this week: First, we have a Pisces Last Quarter (LQ) Moon, which could be very emotional. Perhaps you may find yourself remembering what was lost with the Scorpio eclipse. Also, Celeste offers a little lesson on the Lunar Phase Families! The last aspect is a conjunction with Mars. Think about how this LQ Moon relates to these dates: Feb 23, 2020, Nov 21, 2020, and Aug 22, 2021.
07:06 – Second, the Sun (a spotlight) and Mercury (how we think and communicate) are on fixed star Alcyone, said to be insightful and brilliant. However, there may be a struggle with the dark side of human nature. Mercury is also conjunct Sisyphus, who was punished by Zeus and had to push a rock up a hill for eternity, only to have it roll back down, over and over.
09:52 – Lastly, Mars enters Aries, so we may get some drive and confidence to move forward!
10:58 – On Sunday, the word of the day is EMOTIONAL. The Moon enters Pisces (8:49 am PT), and its last aspect before changing signs is a conjunction with Mars in Pisces, so watch out for acting out of emotion. Mars in Pisces is also sextile Pluto at 28 Capricorn. Finally, Mercury retrograde (Rx) reenters Taurus.
12:09 – Monday's theme is COLLABORATION. The Sun in Gemini sextiles Jupiter at 2 Aries, so it's an excellent day for focusing on the vision, thinking big, and new ideas. Also, Mercury Rx sextiles Mars at 29 Pisces – don't gossip!
13:38 –Tuesday's word is DISCIPLINE. Venus in Aries sextiles Saturn at 25 Aquarius – perhaps whistle while you work, and close a deal? The Moon also enters Aries at 2:39pm PT, and Mars enters Aries two hours later, where it's at home.
15:18 – Wednesday's focus is CONFIDENCE. Don't be ruthless, as this is the first full day of Mars in Aries. Also, Mercury Rx trines Pluto Rx at 28 Cap. Also, Venus in Aries is semisquare Juno in Pisces, the asteroid of marriage and partnerships. Don't fight with your loved ones today, because there is break-up energy here, with Mars semisquare Uranus tomorrow.
16:21 – Thursday's theme is TUG OF WAR. The Moon, Venus, and Mars are in Aries, all squaring Pluto – you may feel extra feisty, so try to be kind. Also, Venus in Aries squares Pluto Rx, which may bring unfortunate financial news. The Moon enters Taurus at 11:22 pm; this is a Balsamic Moon, so slow down and release.
17:14 – On Friday, the word is RELAX. It's Venus's Day! Take it slow; the sky is quiet.
17:37 – On Saturday, the focus is ENJOYMENT. There is a Taurus Moon, and Venus enters Taurus! It is a great day to feel alive and vital. Also, Mars joins Jupiter in Aries – use this energy for passion, and avoid arguing!

Astrology highlights for the week of May 15th:
00:47 – The theme of this week is, “Finding shelter through the storm.” It’s an intense week! How can you stay grounded rather than going to extremes? Note that it’s a great time for detoxification and cleansing!
01:32 – There are three big things happening this week: First, the emotional Lunar Eclipse at 25 degrees Scorpio (May 15 at 9:13pm PT) calls us to shed light on darkness and burn off what has been outgrown. The Sun is highlighting fixed star Algol, and Celeste breaks down some of the recent news that may relate to this aspect.
08:50 – The second aspect related this eclipse is that Saturn (structures, limits, hardship, toil, consequences, authority, rewards for hard work) is squaring the Sun and Moon, forming a T-square. We’ve been at this crossroads for some weeks now.
10:33 – Thirdly, the Sun is parallel the fixed star Arcturus. How can you pivot rather than break down? Also, Mars conjuncts Neptune: Check on people who are struggling during this time. And consider: How can you be the observer of your emotions?
12:03 – Celeste offers an overview of the lunar gestation cycle. Fascinating! Each lunation is connected – every nine months – to one of these cycles. This eclipse/Full Moon brings us back to November 2020.
14:01 – On Sunday, the word of the day is “reflection.” Today is the eclipse, and the week starts with the Moon in Scorpio. Ceres (asteroid/dwarf planet that rules nurturing, nourishment and parenting) moves into the sign of Cancer until July 23. What are you growing? Ceres is semisquare Uranus, so you may feel inspired. Also, Venus joins Chiron in Aries. How can you heal old wounds? Also, the Sun squares Saturn, possibly bringing conflict with authority and feelings of restriction. Finally, the Sun sextiles Neptune: An opportunity for compassion, faith, and trust.
17:24 – On Monday, the theme is “recover.” The Moon enters Sag at 4:50am PT, a fire sign, bringing optimism. Takes things slow, as the eclipse just happened yesterday. Take things slow, move your body as you are able, walk in nature, and watch your words.
18:20 – On Tuesday, the word is “dance!” Allow your feelings to come through your body. Two transits: Mercury retrograde (Rx) in Gemini is semisquare Venus in Aries, bringing stress, so watch how you speak to those you love, and avoid bringing up old hurts unless you plan on healing them; and Mars joins Neptune, so act with intention and be compassionate.
19:34 – On Wednesday, the focus is “refine.” The Moon moves into Cap at 5:01am PT. Focus on work and growth; Capricorn says, “Pursue excellence!” Jupiter in Aries squares Ceres in Cancer and makes everything bigger: Be optimistic about what you are growing in your life.
20:24 – Thursday’s word is “primal.” The Sun trines Pluto, perhaps bringing feelings of empowerment. Mercury Rx in Gemini sextiles Jupiter in Aries: Inspiration may come from the past. The Sun is parallel Phaeton, and Celeste shares the story of Phaeton. (The story is a warning about how overconfidence can lead to missteps!)
22:26 – On Friday, the word of the day is “levity.” The Moon enters Aquarius at 5:52am PT. The Sun enters Gemini today, and see if you notice a shift. Gemini may bring a desire to communicate and connect in a light-hearted fashion.
23:17 – On Saturday, the theme is “serendipity.” The Sun is conjunct Mercury Rx, also called “Cazimi.” Stay present for unique insights: The way forward may come through the past. Be thoughtful not thoughtless!

Astrology highlights for the week of May 8th:
00:51 – The theme of this week is, “two ears and one mouth.” Celeste begins with an overview of the week! The main transit is that Mercury stations retrograde (Rx) at 4 Gemini; it will move back to 26 Taurus. The trickster is in the sign where he has the most strength to make mischief until June 3! As Mercury stations at 26 Taurus on fixed star Algol, watch for figurative beheadings. Tune in for Celeste’s examples of Mercury Rx times, and how it might show up in the news.
05:36 – The chart for the station shows a couple of challenges: Mercury is square the Moon in Virgo, and contraparallel Pluto. Remember: Slow down, double-check your work, triple-check your emails, be reflective, and have a sense of humor! And leave your cat filters off!
07:49 – Jupiter enters Aries on May 10 (through Oct 27). It was previously in the sign of the ram in 2010 and 2011. Aries rules sports, competition, war, inflammation, law enforcement, and impulsivity, among other things.
09:54 – Pay attention on May 11: Jupiter at 0 Aries semisquares Uranus at 15 Taurus, both on world points! Will we see big news?
11:02 – On Sunday, the word of the day is “joy.” Happy Mother’s Day! We have a Leo First Quarter Moon (the Sun is in Taurus) – let your inner child out. Also, Venus and Jupiter are contraparallel, emphasizing fun, play, and harmony with your loved ones.
12:54 – Monday’s key word is “preparation.” Take the time to start the week right with careful planning, as the Moon is in Virgo.
13:51 – On Tuesday, the word is “humor.” This is the day that Mercury turns Rx (4:47am PT). Also, Jupiter enters Aries (4:21pm PT).
14:27 – The theme for Wednesday is “initiative.” Where in your life do you want to step up and show leadership or declare independence? This is the day Jupiter semisquares Uranus. The Moon enters Libra today.
15:08 – The word of the day for Thursday is “duck”! Things may feel unpredictable, as Mercury Rx is contraparallel Pluto Rx, and Venus is contraparallel Neptune. Use today for determination and discipline, and watch for dishonesty and manipulation.
16:22 – Friday’s word is “present.” Watch who you meet, as the Sun joins the North Node.
17:07 – On Saturday, the theme is “safety.” The Moon enters Scorpio, and we’re building to the Lunar Eclipse. Also, Mars is sextile the North Node.

Astrology highlights for the week of May 1st:
00:51 – Celeste opens with astrology in action, with a reflection on yesterday’s eclipse and how Twitter was eclipsed by Elon Musk!
03:23 – If you want to learn more about what the current eclipses mean for you by zodiac sign, check out Celeste's Snipfeed!
03:58 – This week’s this theme is, “The Power of the Pivot” for three reasons: the Sun will meet Uranus by conjunction and parallel; Pluto stations retrograde (power dynamics); and Mars is conjunct fixed star Archnernar (change through crisis and rapid endings). How is the power of the pivot playing out for you this week?
05:28 – On Sunday, the word of the day is “sensuality.” We have a Moon in Taurus, so enjoy the little things and simple pleasures. Also, Venus sextiles Pluto, offering the opportunity to transform the structure of relationships. Finally, the Sun parallels fixed star Sualocin, aka the dophin star: Be playful!
06:54 – Monday’s key word is “focus.” With the Moon in Gemini reporting to Mercury also in the sign of the twins: How can you communicate with clarity? And head’s up: Mercury will go retrograde on May 10, and we are now in shadow period… the shenanigans may begin in earnest! Venus also moves in to Aries today, so people may be more firey about what they desire. And Mars semisquares Pluto, so tensions could run high.
08:48 – Tuesday’s word of the day is “passion”! Jupiter sextiles Pluto, offering the potential for feeling positive about your potential for world domination. Use your power wisely: Pluto is retrograde. Mars is also conjunct fixed star Archnernar (15 Pisces) so we may see change through crisis and rapid endings.
09:33 – On Wednesday, the theme is “excitement.” Mars in Pisces sextiles Uranus in Taurus, so get a great idea and take action (but don’t be reckless with this energy)! The Moon enters Cancer, so if emotions feel heavy, take care of yourself.
11:00 – Thursday’s word is “breakthrough,” as the Sun meets Uranus at 14 Taurus, on a world point. Also, Mercury in Gemini sextiles Venus in Aries, making it a great day for friendly banter and witty repartee.
12:39 – Friday brings the theme “steady,” and the Moon is still in Cancer. Take it slow, and take care.
12:59 – Yay! Saturday’s word of the day is “play,” as the Sun in Taurus sextiles Mars at 16 Pisces. The Moon is in Leo today – fun!

Astrology highlights for the week of April 25th!
01:13 – The inaugural episode begins by setting up the week ahead with information about the upcoming Taurus Solar Eclipse (with more coming later in the show), and details about the Lunar Nodes. They are currently in the signs of Taurus (North Node) and Scorpio (South Node).
04:40 – We kick it off on Monday, and the word of the day is "forgiveness." Yesterday (Sunday), Mercury in Taurus squared Saturn in Aquarius on the fixed star Capulus – perhaps you're still feeling some of this energy today. Also, the Moon went into Pisces at 3:14am PT: How can you nurture and nourish forgiveness? Be creative as well: the Moon is quintile Uranus in Taurus!
08:08 – Tuesday's word of the day is "creativity." How can you be creative with your actions?
08:34 – The theme for Wednesday is "integrity." The Moon moves into Aries at 9:09am PT, so you might experience a boost of energy. Venus also joins Neptune in Pisces today! Watch out for being impulsive: There is the potential to agree to something you regret, or someone may promise something and not follow through with it.
09:49 – Thursday brings us the keyword "intensity." The Aries Moon squares Pluto – amping up your ambition and drive to get things done. Also, Mercury in Taurus trines Pluto in Capricorn, lending mental focus. Do any projects need your deep attention and strategy today?
10:39 – Friday's word of the day is "determination," and there are many energetic shifts today. The Sun is on the fixed star Hamal (the head of the ram), and may inspire you to take action with the fiery Moon. One piece of big news this week is that Pluto (power, transformation) stations retrograde (it appears to stop and then move backwards from our perspective on Earth), bringing intensity. (Pluto stations retrograde at 28 Capricorn and will move back to 26 Cap. Pluto stations direct on Oct. 9th!) Mercury also moves into Gemini at 3:22 pm! And finally, the Moon moves into Taurus at 5:18 pm. Date night, anyone?
12:38 – Saturday's word is "curiosity," as we welcome the Solar Eclipse at 10 Taurus. A Solar Eclipse is always a New Moon: the Sun and Moon meet, beginning a new cycle, at 1:27pm PT. Celeste talks about what creates eclipses, and about this eclipse in particular. Also today, Venus and Jupiter meet at 27 Pisces in a sextile to Pluto, which is beautiful energy. Taurus and Pisces are working together today and gives us Celeste's main theme of the week: fertile ground! The asteroid Eros is also getting activated today: Where will Cupid's arrow hit?
