For five months, something has been moving in the dark beneath the surface of our lives, and this week Pluto turns direct and brings it into the light. Everything we’ve been quietly working on, tending, and transforming comes forward to be seen, and we get to feel how much our lives can change because of it. Meanwhile, the Sun in Libra whispers sweet nothings to abundant Jupiter, and Mars, with Saturn at his side, makes real and lasting progress. It’s a week of revelation, delight, and well-earned momentum, and there’s so much more waiting for you on The Golden Astrologer Podcast!

It’s going to be a deliciously complicated week in the heavens…Astro Darlings, hold onto your cosmic hats—because this is one of those weeks when the sky apparently decided that subtlety was overrated. Mars charges into Leo like he owns the place. Then Mercury dives into probing Scorpio and promptly finds himself at the center of a fierce T-square with said Mars and transformative Pluto in Aquarius. Meanwhile, Venus turns retrograde in magnetic Scorpio, the Sun in lovely Libra comes face-to-face with Saturn, and the Moon spends a good stretch of time in Gemini—ruled by that very same Mercury stirring the pot in Scorpio. Yes. All of this. At once. This is not a week for sleepwalking through your life. The astrology is loud, layered, provocative, and potentially revealing. Relationships, desire, power, choices, conversations, money, commitments—and those delicious little truths you've been trying not to look at—could all come knocking. Want to untangle this celestial spaghetti? Join me on The Golden Astrologer Podcast while I show you what’s actually happening underneath all the cosmic commotion and how you can work with these energies instead of simply waiting for them to pass. So press play, pour yourself something warm, and come sit with me for a little while.  

This week is the start of Libra season, as the equinox is upon us and the Sun enters the sign of the scales. The Sun is the focal point of a dynamic with the outer planets Neptune and Pluto and asks us to get clear about our one to one relationships in all areas of our lives. This is part of a Full Moon in Aries that conjoins Neptune and makes a bold aspect to Jupiter, helping us to open our hearts, get creative and stop playing small. Discomfort may be the price of expansion, but it's worth it in the end. All this and so much more on The Golden Astrologer Podcast!
