Mars bookends this week by first sitting on top of Neptune in Pisces, and then sextiling Pluto. It's giving major anxiety and overwhelm at the start of the week but is fortifying by the end. Romantic Venus forms a square to compulsive Pluto, stirring the pot in relationships and asking you to consider what you will let go of in favor of what you value. It's another intense week in the stars!

Most astrology books and resources that Leon has encountered have described Cancerian energy as “motherly”. However, as a trans masc person, they find this very dysphoric. Much of traditional astrology is like this, focusing on concepts such as the divine feminine and masculine—is there a way of understanding Cancerian vibes, and oneself through astrology in general, outside of the binary?


423: Cancerian, But Not Mommy

This week's astrology is going to be triggering! Venus and Chiron meet, kicking up core wounds in relationships. The Sun and Pluto are square, pushing resentments and power struggles to the fore, and the Full Moon in Scorpio forms a T-square to Pluto, activating more intense and compulsive feelings and generating the risk of major defensiveness. Jessica explains what it all means for you personally and for us collectively. 

422: Horoscope - A Very Plutonian Full Moon in Scorpio

421: Spite Wedding
