Mercury concludes a sequence of aspects to Pluto; Pluto turns direct on a Sabian symbol that brings to mind a grim alpine scenario; and the Aries Full prompts the question: has that couple at the next table lost interest in one another, or are they close beyond words? And April answers a listener’s question about unaspected planets.

Astrology for Sep. 26-Oct. 2, 2022: An Albatross and Dangerous Waters

Episode 146 | Sun, Venus, and Jupiter Around the Campfire!
The Sun and Venus in Libra meet up with gritty adventurer Jupiter around the campfire (does it have to be so dusty??).

Mercury finally stations direct, and the Capricorn First Quarter Moon calls for a little kindness.

Astrology for Sep. 12-18, 2022: A Flag at Half-Mast

Episode 144 | Gemini Last Quarter: Half Mast
The Gemini Last Quarter Moon squares the Sun on a symbol of collective mourning. Venus squares Mars, Rx Mercury makes an opposition to Jupiter, and the Sun’s trine to Pluto rewards excellence. And a listener question about another person’s planets on your birth chart.
