Astrolojew The Jewish Astrology Podcast

It's the Corona Virus Edition of the Astrolojew Podcast! Is it The End of The World As We Know It, or a foretaste of things to come, as has been foretold by our prophets? What does the historical association of Saturn and Mars in Aquarius have to do with world-wide contagion, antisemitism and the Jews? Is the Parah Adumah really a recipe for soap?  All this and more on this week's edition of Astrolojew the Jewish Astrology Podcast!

It's an action-packed week with a First-Quarter Moon in fickle Gemini, Mercury SO retrograde it's back in the final degrees of Aquarius threatening our communication structures as well as the trustworthiness of information - or mis-information we're receiving from formerly trusted sources - and Moshe Rabbaynu's birthday and yartzeit (7 Adar) on Super Tuesday: will we wake up to a different world on Wednesday morning? Will election results be contested because of system failures? Plus: Shabbos Zachor and why G*d was mad at Amalek when that anger should have been turned towards Israel for not taking care of their own stragglers, slow ones, outliers and left-behinds.

Rosh Chodesh Adar 5780 is this week! Here is an overview of the celestial happenings as well as the Horoscopes for all 12 Zodiac Signs for Adar 5780, the month of masks, miracles, and Mercury Retrograde!

Insights on the Capricorn Cluster-Bomb of 2020 and the existential angst of all the Cardinal Signs during this year, as well as highlights for the upcoming week: Mars enters Capricorn, Mercury Retrograde in Pisces, and we understand that sometimes things are not what they look like as we get a preview of the upcoming season of masks and miracles. Also: is it a "coincidence" that Shabbos Shekalim is on the same day as the Nevada Caucuses - Nevada is "the Silver State", Shekalim is the holy half-shekel made of pure silver, and the Sun sextiles Uranus. Will it be a shocking surprise to discover "It's the economy, stupid!" AGAIN? All this and more on this week's edition of Astrolojew the Jewish Astrology Horoscope for 2.16.20 - 2.22.20.

Better late than never! Tu b'Shevat, the New Year for Trees, the Full Moon in Leo opposite the Sun in Aquarius, the dynamic tension between individuality and communal identity, and the healing potentialities of Venus conjunct Chiron in Aries, especially in the case of emotional overwhelm, something the Children of Israel knew a lot about as they stood at Mt. Sinai hearing the dreadfully frightening voice of G*d which was so intense they begged Moses to hear it for them and just tell them what G*d said because it was JUST TOO MUCH! This and more (but not as much as I had hoped for) in this slightly late-to-market edition of Astrolojew the Jewish Astrology Podcast for the week of 2/9-2/15/20. 

The upcoming week features Mercury, planet of communication, entering watery Pisces and Venus, planet of love, entering bold, brave and assertive Aries. We're working our way to the Full Moon of Chosesh Shevat, which is Tu b'Shevat! Also a quick glimpse at the Sun-Mars conjunctions of the quarterbacks for Superbowl Sunday, and some insights into the possible dark side of the "Age of Aquarius", along with a few watery insights into the character of Moses. 

All About Shevat and Horoscopes for all 12 Zodiac Signs in this broadcast. Rosh Chodesh Shevat is Monday January 27, 2020. Chodesh Shevat 5780 (January 27 - February 24) is Aquarius, the sign of the Jewish People, according to Abraham Ibn Ezra and others. Aquarius is called in Hebrew D’li, the water bucket. The B’nai Yissachar says: just as the bucket is the servant of the water, Israel is the servant of the Torah. What this means for us now is that we are to serve the Torah as a waiter serves customers in a restaurant, filling and refilling their water glasses throughout the meal. Learn more about what it means to serve water the Aquarian way in this podcast!

This week: Secrets are rooted out, truths are revealed, and some folks are going to get mad about it! The Sun enters idealistic Aquarius, a Moon-Mars conjunction in Sagittarius triggers righteous indignation (or self-righteous, depending!), and a Sun-Uranus square challenge, pitting idealistic progressiveness against the play-it-safe status-quo. Welcome to the week of January 19 - 25, 2020! 

It's time for the Saturn/Pluto conjunction in Capricorn: Destruction of systems, structures and constrictions which previously seemed useful but are now exposed as impeding progress and prosperity. Separation of the essential / useful from that which no longer serves. This conjunction is the end of the Saturn-Pluto cycle which began in 1982/83, signaling the end of an era and the beginning of a new one, marked by collective and personal grief and loss over the destruction of the status-quo and the breakdown and failure of social and economic systems consolidating power and wealth in the hands of the few at the expense of the many. 

Transiting Mars in Sagittarius is astrological shorthand for "Holy War". With the upcoming Saturn-Pluto Conjunction and Uranus stationing Direct you can be sure the week of January 5-11, 2020 will feature the full spectrum of possible permutations of these turbulent energies: best case scenario would be universal righteous indignation and outrage over blatant injustice and a mass movement towards righting the wrongs of this world. Or, worst case scenario: wholesale violence and chaos, G*d forbid. This and more, including a summary of Parshat Vayechi, on the latest edition of Astrolojew the Jewish Astrology podcast.
