star babies! happy full moon! let’s get into it.

on today’s episode of ⟡ star quality ⟡ I am going over the Full Moon happening at 27° of Aquarius on August 19, 2024 at 11:26 AM PT!

this full moon is happening during our Mercury Retrograde cycle and Mercury is sitting right next to the Sun in Leo during this lunation ~ Leo x Aquarius axis during this fuzzy Mercky time means we are in a dance to find a beautiful balance between our hearts and our minds. Uranus is begging, kicking, and screaming yet again for some change, Virgo Venus and wabi-sabi, tensions towards Mars + Jupiter in Gemini are asking us to get clever, this Full Moon chart shows us where we might have to get out of the noise of the crowd to connect with our core needs, the Sabian symbols for the Sun and Moon hammer home to chop wood and carry water of it all, sacrifices are made to the Mercury Retrograde gods, and listen in to find out why errors are more valuable :)

ANNOUNCEMENT! Members of the 333rd space! Please submit questions for the next VENUS THINGS episode. While Mercky is retro, I want to experiment with answering your questions and giving advice, astrology-related or otherwise! Keep an eye out on where to submit or put your questions in the comments on this post.

hello star children it’s time for another episode of ⟡ star quality ⟡ and this is a retrograde reflection episode because I have connected too many dots to some of our recent retrogrades and I simply had to share with you all so you can connect your own life dots yourself! retrogrades offer a softening of the planets, an entryway into their psyche that we don’t get when they’re direct.

we are currently in Mercury Retrograde happening in Virgo and Leo so in today’s podcast I take a look back on last year’s mercury retrograde in Virgo that took place from August 23 - Sept 15 2023. Mercury was in Virgo for the whole duration of July 28, 2023 - Oct 4, 2023.

ok keep following me here: now during last year’s Merc Rx in Virgo we also experienced a Venus Rx in Leo! Venus was in Leo from June 19, 2023 until Oct 7, 2023. It was retrograde from July 22, 2023 until September 3, 2023. Flash forward to 2024 and we just experienced Leo Venus this past month, it’s first visit back in this sign since last year’s retrograde which has us returning to themes of Venus, compatibility, and what we care about.

ok now keep following me again I promise it pays off: Mars is in Gemini right now. the last time Mars was in Gemini we had a big old Mars retrograde from Oct 30, 2022 - Jan 12, 2023 and Mars was in Gemini from Aug 20, 2022 through March 25, 2023!

SOOOOOO LIIIIIIKE we have so many planets that are back again in the signs where the last time they were in them they were retrograde. they are finalizing their unfinished business. we have so much to revisit from what was and wasn’t working in our lives, especially what was highlighted during these retrograde periods. take a look at the dates bolded above and see if there’s any clues or hints at what area of life might need some attention.

I provided some journal prompts for you in this episode and answer them myself on air:

PROMPTS FOR RETROGRADE REFLECTION

MERCURY VIRGO - What is nourishing to you? How do you honor your goals?MERCURY LEO - How do you reward yourself?

LEO VENUS - What ~ things ~ are distinctly you?

MARS IN GEMINI - Where can you take more creative risks? What is your role and how has it changed?

Also in today’s episode: I discuss the encouragement to dabble when Mercurial matters are firing on all cylinders, getting married during Mars Retrograde, Barbie/brat summers with Leo Venus, and beyond :)

Welcome back star people ~ today’s episode is all about the NEW MOON IN LEO ♌︎ which happened at 7:13AM PT on August 4, 2024.

The Sun and Moon in Leo are getting a pep talk from Mars and Jupiter in Gemini to integrate our gifts and not sell ourselves short! Leo energy is akin to a bonfire so where in our lives can we create sustainable systems that keep us warm and illuminated?! Uranus is yelling at Venus to embrace minimalism, Pluto and Neptune are begging for a new reality, Saturn is asking us not to check out fully, and I discuss how the difference between being productive vs being in alignment. ☯

New podcast episode out discussing the Double Capricorn Full Moon Portal we’ve been in as we experienced two Capricorn Full Moons, which happened on June 21 and July 21. This episode examines how that energy played out through the lens of US Politics + the upcoming Presidential election.

Reminder of dates / mentioned in the episode:

JUNE 21 2024 - First Capricorn Full Moon

JUNE 27 2024 - super dramatic Presidential debate

JULY 5 2024 - Cancer New Moon

JULY 11 2024 - Bidens “big boy” makes his supporters not feel worried speech (they stayed worried)

JULY 13 2024 - assassination attempt on Trump at his rally

JULY 15 2024 - RNC starts on Mars/Uranus conjunction + Trump “martyrdom” fandom frenzy stoked

~insert many op-eds for and against Biden stepping down in the days between~

JULY 21 2024 - Second Capricorn Full Moon + Biden announces he will not seek re-election, endorses Kamala Harris

OK WOW YALL. This truly lined up exactly with the portal we were in from the First to the Second Capricorn Full Moon.

I discuss in this episode how the First Cap Full Moon squared Neptune while the Second Sextiled Neptune, showing that the fog was truly lifted after many weeks of confusion, frustration, and straight-up gaslighting!

The Moon is Conjunct Pluto in the 2nd Full Moon chart, putting a stamp of finality and legacy into the collective conversation, while Mars + Uranus continues to light up the sky with frenzy and change!

I break down Kamala’s famous quote and how the coconut tree is a symbolism of generosity and relaxation as well as what it means to exist within the context of all in which you live and what came before you.

Feel free to share what you discovered during this Double Cap Full Moon portal in the comments :)

Girl, it's so confusing sometimes to be a girl. hello fellow e-friends ~ today’s episode of ⟡ star quality ⟡ is a mega astrology deep dive sparked by the song Girl, so confusing? off of Charli xcx’s latest album brat.

there’s strong speculation that Lorde is the subject of the song so i booted up both of their natal charts ~plus their synastry chart~ to see where charli and lorde are compatible (virgo moons 2 degrees apart!!!) and aren’t compatible (virgo moons 2 degrees apart!!!) and some of it is…loud

so join me as I analyze both of their natal charts, go over the history of their lore and theorize on this possible consensual “diss” track :P

the song and these two singers relationship prompted a bigger astrology question: can astrology tell us if we’re prone to being chronically online?

lets find out if there are astrological clues of being an e-girl and similarly if theres signs that point too a more offline existence plus :) plus i share what i think the most chronically online placement in a natal chart is (charli has it lol) can you guess? other themes discussed: female friendship, “being compatible on paper”, the 11th house

Some links:

* Vulture article mentioned by Alejandra Gularte + Jason P. Frank

* AZLyrics for Girl, so confusing

* Charli XCX natal chart

* Lorde natal chart

Timestamps:

* 00:00:00 intro to the episode

* 00:08:31 why were chatting about charli + lorde / background on the song girl, so confusing? + background on charli and lorde’s connection together

* 00:20:56 charli xcx natal chart

* 00:43:15 being comparing charli + lorde chart / rising sign analysis

* 00:47:02 glimpse at synastry chart before paywall

* 00:48:18 lorde natal chart

* 01:13:13 synastry chart analysis

* 01:20:53 closing thoughts

ps: theres ~some~ audio buzzy / crunchy moments, my litle mic was funky for some reason this time around, be kind :P

welcome back to ⟡ star quality ⟡ and welcome to the gemini new moon happening at 16° of gemini at 5:37am PT on june 6, 2024

this new moon has us asking: what if we made our own heaven on earth? how to build earthly paradise while avoiding toxic positivity and dealing with the reality of man-made hell, the power of blueberries 🫐 saturn asks us where we’ve been sharing responsibility, pluto lets us know we’re on to something, and with venus in the mix we are taking stock of how people respond when we begin to level up. HUGE NEW MOON, IT’S SO GOOD.Operation Olive Branch has many links to directly help those in Palestine: https://linktr.ee/opolivebranch
