Astrology Alchemy Podcast

Pluto (Transformer) re-enters Aquarius to stay until 2043. We enter into two decades of personal and collective transformation to activate more freedom for all, egalitarianism and empowering everyone's voice. And addressing the shadow work of escaping into alternative realities. Here's a big "stay tuned" for all of us! Mercury (Storyteller) in Sagittarius opposes Jupiter (Mentor-Wise One) in Gemini engaging us on a 6-week journey of questioning our rigid dogmas and beliefs. Test your deepest truths to flush out harmful certainties and upgrade your thinking to activate your deeper wisdom. Mercury turns retrograde in Sagittarius for three weeks inviting a time out on too quickly leaping to meaning-making and interpretation. Practice carrying a beginner's mind with situations and relationships. Ask gently: "what's another way I could look at this?"
