Astrology highlights for the week of April 2, 2023:
00:51 – Announcements: Eclipse season will soon be upon us, so now is the time to book a private astrology reading! Also, join Celeste at her Aries Solar Eclipse workshop: Power to the People, on Sunday, April 16th at 12pm PT.
02:30 – This week's theme is: Fire and Desire!
02:41 – The three big things: First, Mercury enters Taurus this week! Mercury rules communication, transportation, and commerce. It oversees our mental processes, coordination, writing, documents, instruments, electronics, cars, siblings, and things close to us. It also is the steward of our central nervous system, our fingers and hands, and the tubes in our body! Speed is in line with Mercury, as is dexterity, flexibility, agility, and wittiness! It swiftly goes around the Sun every 88 days. It's known as a trickster, and its shadow energies include lying, falsehoods, hurtful words, malicious gossip, and wishy-washiness. Mercury is at home in Gemini and Virgo. It is in detriment in Pisces and Sagittarius. Mercury in Taurus brings practical, stable thinking and plans. Complete something you started while Mercury was in Aries. The first aspect Mercury will make is a square to Pluto on Monday! Will we see an announcement from Congress about plans for TikTok or some transportation-related news?
08:03 – Second, the Sun conjuncts Chiron at 15 Aries on Wednesday. Will we see news about a celebrity or a world leader with an illness? The Sun spotlights things and is about authority, and Chiron is about wounds and the head.
09:28 – Third, we'll have a Full Moon at 16 Libra on Wednesday! It is part of a Lunar Phase Family that began mid-October 2021 with a Libra New Moon; the First Quarter Moon was early July 2022; now we have the Full Moon. The Last Quarter Moon will be in early Jan. 2024. What began for you in Oct. 2021? Look to your chart to see if you have planets between 10-18 of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn). Tune in to hear Celeste's example of each 9-month period! This Full Moon will be about relationships of all kinds: How can you take action for yourself vs. others? How can you find balance? Full Moons always illuminate things! Fire and desire are for the fiery Aries Sun and relational Libra Moon!
Interestingly, the Moon also parallels asteroid Amor (love) and Jupiter (expanding things). How will it play out in your life? Look to early Oct. 2021 and July 2022 for clues!
13:42 – On Sunday, the theme is GROUNDING. Can you run your feet in the grass? The Moon enters Virgo at 3:57 am PT.
15:57 – On Monday, the word of the day is PRESSURE-COOKER. Use your breath to release pressure. Mercury enters Taurus at 9:22 am PT.
17:02 – Tuesday's focus is STRESS. Have some levity about what annoys you. The Moon enters Libra at 2:50 pm PT.
17:53 – On Wednesday, the word is TOOLS. How can you build harmony and negotiate through difficulties? The Full Moon at 16 Libra at 9:34 pm.
19:38 – On Thursday, the theme is BALANCE. Dance on one foot. The Moon enters Scorpio at 11:29 pm PT.
20:33 – On Friday, the emphasis is FLOWERS. Jam to the Miley Cyrus song.
22:17 – On Saturday, the word is DYNAMITE. Watch your temper. Just have a good time.
23:12 – 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 March 26, 2023:
00:51 – Announcements: Celeste is speaking for the San Francisco Astrological Society about the nodal shift (North Node in Aries) on March 30, purchase a ticket via Celeste's events page. Also, eclipse season will soon be upon us, so now is the time to book a private astrology reading!
02:18 – This week's theme is: Unexpected Visitors!
02:28 – The three big things: First, Mars entered Cancer yesterday until May 20. (For more, check out last week's Episode 48 - Pluto in Aquarius, Mars in Cancer, & Aries New Moon: The Initiation!) One more point on this ingress: Mars will be reporting to the Moon while it's in nostalgic Cancer. There tends to be a lack of stability with this because the Moon changes signs every 2-3 days – thus our emotions tend to shift a bit, too. Do you notice people acting differently based on the sign the Moon is in? Since Mars will be in Cancer for a couple of months, it's a good time to get a feeling for each of the Moon signs! You may feel a bit more agitated during this time, so use your breath, meditate, exercise, and use the tools at your disposal to ground yourself.
04:44 – Second, we have First Quarter Moon (FQM) at 8 Cancer on Tuesday! FQMs are a time to take action, and with the Sun in Aries, we are encouraged to take inspired action to achieve our goals. How do feelings of a desire for safety and security lead you to avoid risk? Think: risks vs. safety. How are you playing small or self-sabotaging yourself? Cancer is the sign of home, family, and foundations – so it's a good time to think about how you grew up and how your internal messaging plays out. What adjustments do you need to make? And what started for you around June 28, 2022? This is when the Lunar Phase Family began! (The other two dates tied to this will be a Full Moon on December 26, 2023, and a Last Quarter Moon on September 24, 2024. What themes will echo for you around these Cancerian themes?)
07:50 – Third, Venus joins Uranus at 16 Taurus on March 30! Venus rules love, harmony, beauty, and relationships. Uranus is called "the Great Awakener" and brings sudden events. Uranus also innovates and surprises – so what will we see around these Venus topics? Will we see more news regarding wealth?
Interestingly, Venus is also parallel Uranus until the 30th! Parallels are about declination. Venus is also at home in Taurus – she is the ruler of this conjunction – so it will be interesting to watch the news regarding women around the world.
11:35 – On Sunday, the theme is HEALING. People may act out based on childhood wounds. Use the energy for healing rather than raging.
12:57 – On Monday, the word of the day is SQUAKING. Ask for clarification to ensure you are on the same page.
14:56 – Tuesday's focus is SOLITARY. Working alone may bring innovative ideas. There is the potential to make great strides. The Moon enters Cancer at 3:21 am PT. The First Quarter Moon at 8 Cancer at 7:32 pm PT.
17:12 – On Wednesday, the word is EXERCISE. Move your chi to dispel excess energy.
18:44 – On Thursday, the theme is IMAGINATIVE. The Moon enters Leo at 3:31 pm PT. Write down any surprising insights.
20:19 – On Friday, the emphasis is SEXY. Have fun.
21:41 – On Saturday, the word is UNEXPECTED. Welcome serendipity. The Gibbous Moon is at 27 Leo at 10:23 pm PT.

Astrology highlights for the week of March 19, 2023:
00:51 – Announcements: The Aries New Moon, Intention Setting Workshop, is today (Sunday!). If you cannot join live, you can purchase the recording. Also, Celeste is speaking for the San Francisco Astrological Society about the nodal shift (North Node in Aries) on March 30. All classes can be purchased via Celeste's events page.
01:54 – This week's theme is: The Initiation! Tune in for details on the astrological news of the past week, including the fall of Silicon Valley Bank (check out Celeste's YouTube for more!), and Rihanna's appearance at the Oscars ceremony. (And tune in to Episode 36 to learn more about the US Pluto Return!)
06:20 – The three big things: First, Aries Season begins this week! Aries is a fire sign and the first sign of the zodiac. Fire is associated with inspiration, courage, and confidence. It's cardinal initiating energy, and the beginning of the astrological year. Do watch out for impulsivity and asserting one's own will. How can you have the courage to move your goals forward? Aries is a pioneer and a map maker. Also, at this ingress, Mercury is in Aries, and Mars is in Gemini – this is mutual reception, so they can help each other out. This can give us the words for how we want to take action and share our message effectively to inspire others. Avoid fighting over trivial matters, irresponsibility, and rage incidents. We also have an Aries New Moon at the first degree – so much fresh, new, fiery, bright, inspired energy! What are your intentions for new goals? Use the energy to feel inspired, articulate, and confident. You can achieve your goals!
10:08 – Second, Pluto enters Aquarius on Thursday! Pluto and Aquarius are both known for extremes. Pluto is a transformer. It eliminates, unearths, and has a volcanic force. Aquarius is the sign of technology, science, the internet, birds, and anything that flies (e.g., drones or astronauts). It also rules groups, clubs, friends, Congress and statehouses. Aquarius is also related to society and the collective – will we see more revolutions and/or pushes for authoritarian governments? Pluto transits Aquarius from March 23 to June 11 (staying at 0 Aquarius); it re-enters Capricorn (and gets back to 27 Cap) from June 11 to October 10; it the re-enters Aquarius on January 20, 2024; and retrogrades again in 2024, leaving Capricorn for around 248 years on November 19, 2024.
15:19 – Third, Mars enters Cancer on March 25, after a long 7-month stay in Gemini! It will leave Cancer for Leo on May 20. Cancer is the sign of Mars's fall: People may be more emotionally reactive and passionate. But it's also very creative! It can also be highly sexual (sex as self-care – be safe out there!). Shadow side includes being moody, accusatory, and having a victim mentality. Lean into the imaginative side of the transit.
17:36 – On Sunday, the theme is CHILL. Allow time for rest and relaxation. The Moon enters Pisces at 8:11 am PT.
18:38 – On Monday, the word of the day is BOUNTY. Take note of the abundance in your life. The Sun enters Aries at 2:24 pm PT.
20:57 – Tuesday's focus is ACTUALIZE. Set intentions for what you want to accomplish and then put your plan in action. The Moon enters Aries at 9:01 am PT. New Moon at 0 Aries at 10:22 am PT.
22:05 – On Wednesday, the word is OBSERVE. It’s a cosmically slow day. Watch what is revealed.
22:42 – On Thursday, the theme is EXTREME. News may break that impacts large amounts of people. Pluto enters Aquarius at 5:14 am PT. The Moon enters Taurus at 11:41 am PT.
24:36 – On Friday, the emphasis is CULL. Separate the wheat from the chaff. The Crescent Moon – 9:58 pm PT at 19 Taurus.
26:01 – On Saturday, the word is SLIPPERY. Make sure your shoelaces are tied. Mars enters Cancer at 4:45 am PT. The Moon enters Gemini at 5:41 pm PT.

Astrology highlights for the week of March 12, 2023:
00:51 – Sign up for Moon Mastery™ 101; class starts Tuesday, March 14! You can also join Celeste each month for her New Moon workshops: The next one is Sunday, March 19 for the Aries New Moon!
03:08 – This week's theme is: Shark Week!
03:23 – The three big things: First, Mars is in focus this week! Mars is the masculine principle and is yang, outward-directed energy. Mars is at home in Aries ("I am") and in Scorpio ("I desire"). It rules enthusiasm, striving, fighting, fornication, survival, and protection. Mars gets us out of bed in the morning – no jellyfish here! It can also sever and separate. Mars is in detriment in Taurus (like a ticking time bomb, where pent-up anger leads to an explosion of violence or sexual misdeeds) and Libra (it wants balance, but in a fight, there is only one winner, after all). Mars is exalted in Capricorn, where it can be an incredible leader or decisive manager. And it's in fall in Cancer, where fighting energy gets misdirected, and it can get caught up in emotional fights (though we like Mama Bears!). Aspects this week include: On Tuesday, Mars squares Neptune for the third time since it entered Gemini. How do you use your energy when you come up against unclear paths? And how do you handle frustration? Have you learned anything since last August? The Sun and Mercury in Pisces will also both square Mars this week. Leave extra time; plans can go awry. And if you have addiction issues, use all your tools this week to stay healthy.
10:20 – Second, the Sun conjuncts Neptune at 25 Pisces on Wednesday. You may feel more motivated to pursue your dream and higher purpose. It's an excellent day for visualizing and meditating. Write down what comes to you today. Do be careful of self-delusion and escapism.
11:41 – Third, we have a Last Quarter Moon (LQM) at 24 Sagittarius on Tuesday. The Moon is opposite Mars, and both square the Sun/Neptune conjunction, which may bring up ego matters and impulsivity. Venus also squares Pluto, and we may see some relationships ending. With Jupiter and Venus in Aries, there may be a deep desire for freedom (think "Waiting to Exhale," when Angela Bassett set the match on fire!) This lunation is the ending of a cycle that began on the December 14, 2020, Solar Eclipse. Interestingly, this is when the COVID vaccines were made available. Will we hear more news related to the pandemic? Other touchstones for this transit: a First Quarter Moon from Sept. 2021 and the Full Moon from June 2022. What echoes for you related to these dates?
16:25 – On Sunday, the theme is NAVIGATION. Follow your GPS and avoid distracted driving.
18:08 – On Monday, the word of the day is REVIEW. Reexamine your goals and review your work on big projects. The Moon enters Sagittarius at 12:20 am PT.
19:37 – Tuesday's focus is FANTASY. Do not believe everything you hear. Does it make sense? Last Quarter Moon at 24 Sagittarius is at 7:08 pm PT.
21:32 – On Wednesday, the word is PRACTICALITY. Use your common sense. The Moon enters Capricorn at 5:05 am PT.
22:17 – On Thursday, the theme is CLARITY. The fog lifts. Venus enters Taurus at 3:33 pm PT until April 10.
24:59 – On Friday, the emphasis is EUREKA. You may strike mental gold. Write down any fantastic ideas. Mercury Cazimi at 3:44 am PT at 26 Pisces. The Moon enters Aquarius at 7:24 am PT.
27:13 – On Saturday, the word is GOODBYE. Release what no longer serves you. The Balsamic Moon phase at 12 Aquarius at 3:58 am PT. Mercury enters Aries at 9:23 pm PT until April 3.
