The Full Moon in Libra illuminates the first day of April 2026, marking the beginning of a fast moving, highly eventful month. As a cardinal sign, Libra accelerates the pace of the lunar cycle, further intensified by the Libra Full Moon applying to a catalyzing square aspect with the initiating force of Jupiter exalted in Cancer. As matters rush to a head, greater realizations and clarity may be received regarding how personal and collective storylines have been dramatically reshaped by the recent conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in Aries toward the end of February. The Scales of Libra can assist in weighing options, rebalancing priorities, and discerning insight about present circumstances to map a strategy for the period ahead. Libra is the exaltation of Saturn, and the lunation is in the face of Saturn, emphasizing sober assessment, facing reality, and making deliberate choices. Saturn and Neptune in Aries in a generative sextile aspect with Pluto in Aquarius has already transitioned us across the threshold into an escalating collective crisis full of uncertainty. With the Libra Full Moon in the opposite sign from Saturn and Neptune, with Venus in Taurus applying to Pluto in Aquarius and Mercury in Pisces applying to a flowing trine with Jupiter in Cancer, the lunation can assist with finding your center amidst the storm. Important aspects discussed include the stability and creativity offered by Venus occupying her domicile of Taurus and Jupiter his exaltation of Cancer, with Mercury applying to a flowing water trine with Jupiter in Cancer and Venus applying to a square aspect with Pluto in Aquarius. Also discussed is the significance of Venus applying to a conjunction with Ceres in Taurus in addition to the square with Pluto.Book a consultation with Gray:https://app.acuityscheduling.com/sche...Join Gray's Patreon: / graycrawford Sliding Scale for Three Measures of Time Course:https://graycrawford.net/2026/02/18/t...
Aerin Fogel joins me to discuss the astrology of April 2026. April is one of the most pivotal and dramatic months of astrology in 2026. Mars and Mercury join Saturn and Neptune in Aries creating a procession of planets in Aries: Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Chiron, and the Sun. They will all come together around the time of the Aries New Moon on April 17, making the middle of the month full of fiery heat. It's a month asking you how you will withstand the heat of adversity and forge creation out of the potent fire of the Aries procession. Making April even more extreme in importance will be the entrance of Uranus into Gemini on April 25. Just before Uranus leaves Taurus for good, never to return for almost eight decades, Venus will form a conjunction with Uranus at the very end of Taurus on April 23, making our relationship with Venus important as we collectively cross the threshold into the new era of Uranus in Gemini.

The New Moon in Pisces on March 18 marks a moment of restoration and a new cycle of renewal within a sign that has undergone profound transformation in recent years.Pisces is a watery landscape of boundless imagination and vision, capable of fostering resilient faith in the unknown as well as plunging into dark nights of despair and disillusionment. Its constellational myth tells of Aphrodite and Eros fleeing the monster of all monsters, diving into rippling river currents where they are transfigured into fish.While Pisces symbolism poses a risk of escapist distraction, it ultimately symbolizes the eternal protection, perseverance, prescience, and perspicacity found within the inner realms of the soul. Devotion to a Beloved, of one form or another, can serve as a guiding star for how the ship of Pisces navigates the stormy seas. Yet the beliefs and ideals of Pisces must at times be questioned and released in order to align with a more authentic direction emerging from within. The New Moon in Pisces marks a moment of inner upheaval that cracks open new creative pathways through the shedding of past patterns of belief. Its fertile darkness is ideal for planting seeds of inspiration, to be shaped and crafted through the mingling of many imaginative streams.Mercury, in particular, carries significant potency—not only returning to visibility as a Morning Star, but also stationing direct on March 20 in close conjunction with the North Node of the Moon. Listen closely to the messages of the Star of Hermes: Mercury offers the insight needed to recognize and release old patterns, providing the key to unlock the pursuit of new directions in the lunar cycle ahead.
The activation of the North Node of the Moon in Pisces by Mars and Mercury retrograde forming a conjunction near the north node on March 15 requires extra mindfulness, but can ultimately be a powerful catalyst for clarifying focus and direction forward. It's a potent time period due to Mercury and Mars additionally activating the degree of the recent Lunar Eclipse in Virgo, activating the major endings and beginnings of storylines associated with the recent eclipses.Mercury retrograde will oppose the degree of the Virgo eclipse on March 11 and then will do so again when direct on March 30. Mars will oppose the degree of the lunar eclipse on March 18 at the time of the New Moon in Pisces. In the same time period, Mars will form a conjunction with the North Node of the Moon on March 13 followed by a conjunction with Mercury retrograde on March 15. Providing support will be Jupiter in Cancer who is the domicile lord of Mars, Mercury, and the North Node of the Moon in Pisces - Jupiter stationed direct recently on March 10 and so will provide generative forward momentum. Mars in Pisces will form a flowing trine with Jupiter on March 21
Jupiter stations direct on March 10, 2026, intensifying the presence of Zeus while in his exaltation in Cancer— the place where the great benefic is lifted into especially prominent expression. In principle, this signals a positive turning point and a generative shift in the tide.Even so, a benefic planet being exalted and activated by a station does not mean only beneficial events will unfold in the world. We’ll need to maintain our mental, physical, and spiritual health while we navigate through these times of increasing war and dissolution of old societal structures that we will be living through. Yet Jupiter stationing while exalted is fundamentally an auspicious symbol to participate with and focus on the creative directions you wish to give birth to in the world.Jupiter stationing direct calls for the creation of good works, acts of generosity and creativity that inspire and uplift. Despite the turbulence of world events, the astrology of this year holds exciting potential to work with in our personal lives, with the stationing of Jupiter signaling an important turning of the tide toward where you want to set sail.In addition to discussing the importance of Jupiter stationing direct on March 10, I also explain the importance of Saturn simultaneously disappearing from view into its invisible phase and how Saturn will be reanimated by the Sun on March 25 and then return to visibility in April. I also talk about the importance of Mercury retrograde and Mars coming together in the sign of Jupiter in the week following the stationing of Jupiter, and how they will then come together in April combined with Saturn - marking an important connection between what’s developing now and what will continue to develop across the month of April. I also talk about Venus in Aries applying toward a square aspect with Jupiter in Cancer that will become exact on March 18.
I recorded this video on March 6, 2026 soon after the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in the first degree of Aries on February 20, 2026. This video serves as a way to orient to some of the major themes of Saturn and Neptune conjunctions that go back across time, as part of making sense of how your own world and the world around you is shifting.This video especially focuses on how the Saturn and Neptune cycle moves through a series of conjunctions in cardinal signs, followed by mutable signs, fixed signs, and then a return to cardinal signs. Previous eras of Saturn and Neptune forming conjunctions in cardinal signs correlate with the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. We are living through a cardinal period of Saturn and Neptune conjunctions that began in Libra in 1952 - 1953 and then continued with Capricorn conjunctions in 1989. I go over some of the major themes we can associate with the Libra conjunction in the early 1950s that continued through the 1989 conjunction until now. Saturn and Neptune form conjunctions approximately every thirty-five to thirty-six years, profoundly altering collective notions of reality each time their cycle ends and begins. Their powerful capacity to reshape reality comes from Saturn and Neptune being the threshold guardians between the visible and invisible worlds: Saturn as the outermost planet visible to the naked eye, and Neptune as the most distant planet in the solar system. Their conjunctions dramatize the tension between form and formlessness, certainty and ambiguity, boundaries and dissolution. Saturn represents structure, limits, and material reality, while Neptune dissolves boundaries and opens us to imagination, interconnectedness, and the unseen dimensions of life.When Saturn insists that “seeing is believing,” Neptune reminds us that perception itself is shaped by belief. Their conjunctions test our frameworks of reality by exposing deception, illusion, and self-deception. As old beliefs fall away, we are given the chance to rewrite the story of our lives. Yet this opportunity is not without risk. Hopelessness and depression can constellate over the death of previous dreams as old systems and structures that brought a sense of stability wash away. In order to effectively navigate through the ending and beginning of their cycle, we must combine the idealistic imagination of Neptune that can envision potential beyond the limits of present circumstances with the patient pragmatism of Saturn that can deliberately construct a new foundation upon which to pursue aspirations and bring imaginal dreams into form.Genie's Tides of Tethys website:https://tidesoftethys.comGenie's Tides of Tethys Patreon (Art + Magic Club): https://www.patreon.com/c/TidesofTethys/postsGray's Three Measures of Time course:https://graycrawford.net/2026/02/18/t...Book an astrology consultation with Gray:https://app.acuityscheduling.com/sche...Gray's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/graycrawford
On March 3, 2026 the brilliant light of the Full Moon will be eclipsed, transfigured into crimson red shadow. The Lunar Eclipse at 12º53’ Virgo is a total eclipse due to being close to the South Node of the Moon, conjuring experiences of dissolution that give rise to renewal, processes of emptying and purification that make room for new inspiration, inquiry, and insight to eventually emerge free from old distortions. The bloody red obscuration of the Moon's light in the domicile and exaltation of Mercury suggests an eclipsing of entrenched interpretations and thought-forms to recalibrate perception and participation. With Mercury retrograde in Pisces, the eclipse will initiate an immersive descent in imaginal waters to cleanse discernment and dissolve false clarity.Total lunar eclipses are always potent, but this one arrives at an extraordinary moment. It follows the first Solar Eclipse sharing the sign of Aquarius with Pluto, and comes soon after the reality bending conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in the first degree of Aries on February 20. Set within the larger astrological context, the Virgo Lunar Eclipse is positioned at the threshold of a new era and a profound civilizational shift. With the eclipsed Moon separating from an opposition with Mars in Pisces while under rulership of Mercury retrograde in Pisces, the eclipse will deliver an extra dose of chaos and confusion that could correlate with an unraveling of beliefs that underpin interpretations, a weakening of certainty, and a surfacing of miscommunication. Yet the washing away of defensive certainty and the humbling of premature conclusions will be powerful elements of reorienting to the new collective reality we are entering.I recorded this on the morning of February 28, 2026 after hearing news of the US and Israel bombing of Iran, before subsequent events were reported. I also talk about the link between this war with the eclipse.
Aerin Fogel and Gray Crawford discuss the astrology forecast for March 2026. Overall March is another dramatic month of astrology, yet also will function like a bridge between the more extreme astrology of February and April. The month begins with a dramatic total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo that will correlate with major turning points in storylines, setting off tension with Mars, the North Node of the Moon, the Sun, Mercury retrograde, and Venus all occupying the sign of Pisces.Mercury retrograde in Pisces will be a big theme of the month, creating opportunities to adjust and reorient with all of the massive changes brought by the recent eclipses and the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in Aries. The many ways in which Saturn and Neptune are reshaping reality will continue to dominate March, as Saturn and Neptune will come together by declination and Saturn will also move from southern into northern declination. At the same time, Venus will enter Aries and catalyze further experiences related to Saturn and Neptune in the first week of March, and then after the Sun enters Aries at the equinox, the Sun will catalyze the meaning of Saturn and Neptune by moving through conjunctions with Saturn and Neptune.At the end of the month there is also a key aspect formed between Saturn in Aries with Pluto in Aquarius on March 28: the waxing sextile of their cycle. This is the first major aspect formed between Saturn and Pluto since their conjunction in 2020 and is another reason why the month of March will bring an important turning point in personal and collective events.Timeline:00:00 Overview of March astrology themes26:10 March 1 - 6: Lunar Eclipse in Virgo39:28 March 6 - 17: Venus in Aries, Jupiter station, Mercury rx & Mars in Pisces01:08:20 March 18 - 31: New Moon, Equinox, Mercury stations directAerin's website:https://aerinfogel.comBook a consultation with Gray:https://app.acuityscheduling.com/sche...Register for Gray's Course "Three Measures of Time: Secondary, Tertiary, and Minor Progressoins" with early discount by registering before March 1:https://graycrawford.net/2026/02/18/t...
The Solar Eclipse in Aquarius on February 17 arrives during an extraordinary week of astrology that signals large-scale historical transition. Just three days later, on February 20, Saturn and Neptune unite at 0°45’ Aries. Saturn–Neptune cycles dissolve realities. Illusions are exposed. Institutions lose moral authority. Financial bubbles burst. Political corruption surfaces. Cultural myths unravel. While authority figures attempt to control or manipulate reality through propaganda and inquisitions, there can also be a great awakening out of experiences of disillusionment. The crises of corruption occurring now, that consistently occur when Saturn and Neptune come together, often precede systemic upheaval. As we witness global orders destabilize and legitimacy erode, it can be difficult to see the broader arc of history. Yet past periods like this later came to be understood as thresholds into new eras. Out of breakdown can come renaissance and a rebirth in creativity, philosophy, spirituality, and collective imagination.This eclipse, ruled by Saturn and square Uranus, suggests volatility in world events. Uranian influence can correlate with shocks, technological breakthroughs, unexpected disruptions, and heightened nervous tension. Grounding the body and regulating the nervous system will be important.Since the Aquarius Solar Eclipse aligns with the North Node of the Moon, there will be amplified potential for new desires and directions to take visible shape. Eclipses obscure solar light, symbolizing unconscious material temporarily overtaking conscious clarity. This can bring revelations and confrontations with buried patterns. Consider how to align your emerging material desires with ways to better the world or form networks of support and inspiration with others. We will be in a portal of change between the Solar Eclipse in Aquarius and the Lunar Eclipse in Virgo, with the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in between. There are much larger scales of time being activated with the changes than the smaller scale of time we will be living through. Years from now, this week may be remembered as part of a larger turning point. The essential question is what we choose to build and choose to create with our participation.

The Full Moon in Leo on February 1, 2026 marks our entrance into a dramatic month of astrology that will coincide with great historical changes. The Leo Full Moon will illuminate the alignment between your present path, creative processes, and vocational calling with your authentic values and desires. Combined with the recent ingress of Neptune into Aries, the Leo Full Moon is a call to act boldly with courage as part of participating in the great changes what will be rippling across the world. The Leo Full Moon is a potent activation of Uranus, as Uranus is intensified due to stationing direct on February 3 and the Leo Moon is applying toward a catalyzing square aspect with Uranus. Uranus will continue to be a dominant astrological force of breakthrough change in the week following the lunation, as Mercury will form a square aspect with Uranus on February 5 followed by Venus forming a square aspect with Uranus on February 8.Uranus can bring unexpected disruptions yet also coincide with revelatory insights that open up new vistas of awareness and innovative directions. Listen closely to discern how to best come into relationship with the liberating force of Uranus under the light of the Leo Full Moon.

Aerin Fogel joined me to discuss the dramatic astrology for the month of February 2026. The month of February possesses some of the most powerful astrology we have witnessed for many years, as it features Saturn entering Aries on February 13, a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius on February 17, and the Saturn and Neptune conjunction in the first degree of Aries on February 20.Uranus is also a huge influence for the entire month, as there is a Full Moon in Leo on February 1 activating Uranus at the same time that Uranus stations direct for the final time in Taurus on February 3. Mercury then forms a catalytic square aspect with Uranus on February 5 followed by Venus forming a square aspect with Uranus on February 8. Additionally, the Aquarius Solar Eclipse on February 17 is in a disruptive square aspect with Uranus. The month also ends with an explosive square aspect between Mars in Aquarius with Uranus in Taurus on February 27.While Saturn entering Aries on February 13 is the big astrological headline for mid-February, there is also the significant ingresses of Mercury into Pisces on February 6 followed by Venus entering Pisces on February 10, with Mercury forming a flowing trine aspect with Jupiter in Cancer on February 16 followed by Venus forming a creatively generative trine aspect with Jupiter on February 22. We talk about the creative remediation brought by Mercury and Venus in Pisces in trine with Jupiter in Cancer during the volatile astrology of the month. The combination of Mercury and Venus in Pisces will bring opportunities for quiet moments of joy, pleasure and creative exploration amidst the tectonic shifting of large scale storylines brought by the eclipse combined with the Saturn and Neptune conjunction. After talking about the meaning of Saturn entering Aries, the Aquarius Solar Eclipse, and the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune from February 13 through February 20, we discuss the additional meaning of Mercury stationing retrograde on February 26 with Venus in Pisces applying to a conjunction with Mercury.

Pluto is calling from the depths this week. It’s time to listen to messages from the darkness within, subconscious and subterranean realms, making offerings to guardians of the underworld threshold, as Pluto will deliver major messages and revelations regarding our experiences of the Pluto in Aquarius transit. Pay attention to not only what is dying, decaying, and undergoing purification, but also the new life force and desires emerging from within. Pluto can facilitate coming to terms with the essential purpose and path to dedicate and devote yourself to in the year ahead.From January 19 - 27, 2026 there is a major initiation with Pluto, as Venus, Mercury, the Sun, and Mars will all form conjunctions with Pluto in Aquarius. In addition to the personal rebirth experiences that Pluto will be initiating for each of us, collectively Pluto will also be initiating us into the entrance of Neptune into Aries on January 26. Neptune is entering the fiery home of Mars where the oceanic planet will remain until 2039, with Mars applying to a conjunction with Pluto that will become exact the next day on January 27.The regenerative conjunction of Mercury with the Sun in Aquarius on January 21, followed by Mercury uniting with Pluto on January 22 will be an especially potent time for attuning to messages from Pluto. Whatever ways you are experiencing processes of death and rebirth, Pluto will put you in touch with the essential elements and values to tend and cultivate that will be intrinsic to your creative direction and greater empowerment.
The New Moon in Capricorn on January 18, 2026 is a potent opportunity to find your center and not only set intentions for the year ahead, but also formulate and follow through on dedicated plans of action aligned with your values and core purpose. We are in the middle of rapid events reshaping the order of global dynamics at breakneck speed, and due to numerous astrological factors involved in the lunar cycle ahead, we can only expect that the speed of change will only increase. This is in part due to Neptune entering Aries on January 26 and Saturn entering Aries on February 13 as they approach their conjunction in the first degree of Aries on February 20, 2026.As a result, it will be imperative to come to terms with how desires and long-term visions have been reshaped by the dramatic triple conjunction of Venus, Mars, and the Sun (January 6 - 9), and gather the courage, dedication, and will power required to reshape your reality in alignment with what you truly want to create with your work and protect within your community as the pace of change accelerates. The New Moon in the third decan of Capricorn is separating from a harmonious sextile with Saturn in Pisces and a trine with Uranus in Taurus while applying closely to an imaginative sextile aspect with Neptune in Pisces as well as toward a conjunction with Venus and Pluto in Aquarius. At the same time, Mercury combined with Mars in Capricorn adds intellectual fuel and firepower to whatever you set your mind toward creating.

I'm joined by astrologer Pallas K. Augustine to discuss the meaning of the triple alignment of Venus, Mars, and the Sun in Capricorn during the week of January 6 - 9, 2026. Venus formed a conjunction with the Sun on January 6, followed by Venus and Mars beginning a new cycle on January 7, and then Mars forming a conjunction with the Sun on January 9, with Venus and Mars within one degree of one another and the Sun across all three conjunctions.It's a powerful week to contemplate your inner values and align your actions in the world with them as we enter the dramatic astrology of 2026. The Venus cycle, the Mars cycle, and the Venus and Mars cycle will all be key players within the astrological alignments of 2026 that will give shape to the year. We discuss the importance of relating with astrological cycles, specifically the meaning of the Venus cycle, the Mars cycle, and the Venus and Mars cycle. We discuss the process of purification, regeneration, rebirth and renewal that occurs when Venus and Mars approach their conjunctions with the Sun, form their exact conjunctions, separate away from the Sun, and then return to visibility in the sky.We also talk about the two conjunctions Venus forms with the Sun in her cycle (the superior and inferior conjunction) and the meaning of the January 6 conjunction being her superior conjunction in Capricorn.We also talk the meaning of the Venus and Mars cycle, and conclude by going through a list of dates of the key aspects and phases of the Venus and Mars cycle beginning with their conjunction in Capricorn on January 7, 2026 and extending through their next conjunction in the final degree of Sagittarius on November 24, 2027.Connect with Pallas and sign up for their Venus workshop:https://www.nineofwands.comTicket to see Pallas at NORWAC 2026 astrology conference:https://norwac.netTicket to see Pallas at UAC 2026 astrology conference:https://uacastrology.comJoin Pallas K.

Demetra George and Jason Holley join me to discuss the meaning of Ceres in astrology. Demetra George's book "Asteroid Goddesses" has been the most influential source text on the meaning of Ceres in astrology. Jason Holley has given a number of talks and webinars on Ceres over the years, and he has also been co-facilitating a course with me on Ceres, Chiron and Mercury in recent months.This is an episode I previously released on my YouTube channel in July 2025 that I am now releasing on my podcast. Demetra and Jason both share personal experiences and stories in relation to Ceres. We also enter into a more broad discussion about how to bring mythological stories and meaning into your astrological practice, and how sharing mythic stories during astrological consultations can open new understanding and realization. Demetra has also led many pilgrimages to sacred sites in Greece over the years, and Jason was on one of her tours in 2011. Last year Jason and I also led a pilgrimage to sacred sites in Greece and felt how we were in her lineage of leading groups there to experience the gods in their homeland. We share personal experiences of being at the sites of the mysteries of Ceres/Demeter in Eleusis (Elefsina) and Arcadia. We also talk about the differences between Demeter's mysteries in Eleusis and Arcadia, and the different versions of her story in Eleusis and Arcadia. The depth of Ceres and the profound meaning she brings to our experience of life is more important than ever in these collective times we are living through full of immense change. I hope this discussion opens your mind and awareness to the significant meaning Ceres possesses and transmits in astrology.

The Full Moon in Cancer on 3 January 2026 is ideal for the cultivation of self awareness and gathering insights from the shifting of inner tides in order to formulate goals and plans of action for the year ahead. The Moon is at home in her watery domicile of Cancer moving toward a conjunction with Jupiter located in his exaltation of Cancer. The cardinal nature of Cancer signifies that the lunation will correlate with initiating new movements of change within currents of fast moving events. The inwardly directed and watery nature of Cancer will accentuate the capacity for the Moon and Jupiter to reveal whatever frameworks, structures, and bonds have been dissolving, with the presence of Jupiter being especially helpful for flexibly adapting longterm vision to reconcile and mediate whatever difficulties and obstacles we are facing. Yet the lunation is not only about significations of Jupiter such as understanding, reverence, prosperity, generosity, justice, fellowship, and release from bondage – it’s also about the process of death, rebirth, and the liminal process of purification that brings us across the threshold to new life. This is due to the fact that although the Full Moon is moving toward a conjunction with Jupiter, the Cancer Moon is most directly separating from an opposition with Venus and applying to an opposition with Mars, giving central importance to the meaning of Venus and Mars in Capricorn simultaneously ending cycles with one another and the Sun.Due to Venus and Mars being at the end of their cycles, there will be a necessary confrontation with what is ending, what is dying, and what is being released from the past no longer to return. Yet the tension between the Moon and Jupiter in Cancer with Venus, Mars, Mercury, and the Sun in Capricorn will also activate curiosity regarding how the release of past patterns will nurture and feed the new life and creative directions that will emerge in 2026.The astrology of 2026 is extraordinarily dramatic, and the speed of change brought by the year will accelerate toward the end of January. Since the astrology suggests incredibly rapid changes and shifting global power dynamics within the first couple months of the new year, taking the time in the first couple weeks of January to clarify the internal and external changes that have been occurring in your personal life will be of the utmost importance. Adding additional depth to the Cancer Full Moon will be the powerful influence from Chiron in Aries who has an intensified presence due to stationing direct. Chiron will station direct at 22º35’ Aries on January 2, one day before the Full Moon in Cancer, with the Full Moon applying to an activating square aspect with Chiron.

I’m honored to introduce the first guest interviewed on my astrology channel: Rosie Finn, my first astrology teacher. Rosie recently published her book "Persephone’s Revolution: Pluto’s Path to the End of Empire" about the astounding historical patterns she has found with Pluto’s declination cycle, and how we are entering the most extraordinary period of change within it in 2025."Persephone’s Revolution" offers a meaningful vision of personal empowerment, activism and reform in the face of oppressive global power structures and plutocrats. In her thoroughly researched book, Rosie shares a grounded vision of redemption and reform to emerge from the volatile astrological cycles unfolding from 2025 through 2035, as well as guidance in how to navigate the changes to come. In this video we go through some of the substantial research documented by Rosie in her book and how she has labeled four primary phases of Pluto's declination cycle: a VISION period when Pluto moves from southern to northern declination (goes back to the 1860s in this current cycle), a POWER period of abusive empires when Pluto reaches extreme out of bounds in northern declination (goes back to 1838 to the early 1950s and World War II in the current cycle), a JUSTICE period when Pluto moves from northern to southern declination (goes back to the late 1980s in the current cycle), and then the REFORM period we enter this year when Pluto reaches extreme southern declination.Incredibly, the next twelve years will be the last time that Pluto goes out of bounds for at least another five thousand years. This means that the last time Pluto was out of bounds in northern declination when World War II happened, a period that correlates with extreme abuse of power by global empires, will never happen again for thousands of years. As a result, Rosie's thorough research offers significant hope for what can emerge in the chaotic astrology of the next decade in ways that go beyond what we can presently conceive.You can purchase Rosie’s book from Revelore Press here:https://revelore.press/product/persep...You can find out more about Rosie Finn and her astrology practice here:https://www.rosiefinn.comYou can read an article on Pluto’s declination cycle that Rosie wrote for the The Astrological Association of Great Britain here:https://www.astro.com/astrology/aa_ar...Book an astrology consultation with Gray here:https://app.acuityscheduling.com/sche...
