In this first episode of the second season of the pod, I'm celebrating the end of the peak period of my Saturn Return, and my 30th birthday right around the corner, by taking you through 30 lessons I've learned in 30 years. ------------------------------------ Click here to schedule a 1-on-1 reading: https://bridging-astrology.mailchimpsites.com/ Connect with me!: Instagram: @bduncks Twitter: @bduncksastro YouTube: youtube.com/bduncsss

A couple of important announcements! This will be the last episode of BDUNCKS Astrology for the 2020 year! I will be back in Jan. 2021 with more weekly Astrology + Full/New Moon forecasts, but for now my personal life is requiring more of my focus than normal and I want to always be able to give 100% of me and my energy into these forecasts for you all. So  I will be taking a brief hiatus from the show, but I’ll be back in the New Year! I am now offering GIFT CERTIFICATES just in time for the holidays! 🎁🎄If you’ve been looking for a personal but unique and special gift for those most dear to you, then these gift certificates would be perfect! Head on over to my Instagram @bduncks to find out more info, or send me a message!  This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Gemini is occurring around 4:30 a.m. (EST). If you have personal planets in either Gemini ♊ or Sagittarius ♐ you will definitely be feeling the energy of this eclipse more than others.  When we have an Eclipse, you can think of it as the two luminaries - the Sun and the Moon - are going in for system maintenance. There is still the element of the Full Moon at play, this time of culmination and fruition, things coming to a close or an end. But with a Full Moon Eclipse, it’s the element of release combined with this aspect of doing a hard system reset. Like unplugging something and plugging it back in. Recalibrating ourselves. Venus making an opposition with Uranus right before this Eclipse gives it a flavor of changes in relationships. Because Venus and Uranus are opposing each other from signs that they both aren’t the happiest in, but would rather switch places with one another, there is this element of support and cohesiveness when it comes to these changes. We are seeing the ending of cycles that have been at play over the last 6 months, since the New Moon in Gemini in May of this year. We are seeing things end, things change. How are we processing it all and what are we saying goodbye to and ultimately choosing to make peace with? --------------- FULL MOON ECLIPSE JOURNAL PROMPTS ✍ 🌕 In what ways can I choose to be more intentional with my thought processing? The way that I take in information and make connections around me? Am I aware of the connections around me or have I been tuning out and allowing myself to be too distracted? 🌕 What relationships are coming to an end that I am making peace with, and what lessons have I learned from the ending of these relationships that I am ready to bring with me moving forward? 🌕 How have these relationships ending helped me to grow as an individual and have ultimately brought me closer to where I’m meant to be in life? --------------- ☪ To schedule a 1-on-1 Astrology Reading with me, you can direct message me over social media, or send me an email!

We have a lot of Neptune activation happening this week! Neptune begins to station direct at the end of the week, ending the 5 month retrograde period that began in June this year. This is going to feel like a collective wake-up call. For the last 5 months, and really throughout all of 2020, we are (and have been!) coming face to face with the harsh truths of reality, as the rose-tinted glasses some of us have been wearing have now officially fallen off our faces. For some of us, this feels like a refreshing, new start with a clean slate. While others might feel slightly hungover, waking up in a confused daze and wondering where your pants went. Neptune rules dreams and disillusionment and tends to blur the lines between reality and fantasy. The best way to navigate this steady stream of Neptune energy is to stay attuned to the dreams and desires of our soul. To remain connected to our SOUL PURPOSE. To allow it to guide us as we navigate through this massive shift in our world as we know it. Trusting ourselves to be able to sift through deceit and see through any illusions that are trying to be sold to us or steer us off course. To top it off we're ALL going to be feeling the build up of energy to the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse happening in Gemini on the 30th. Stay tuned, though, as I will be putting out a separate episode all about the lunations for the month of November! That episode is dropping later this week! --------------- JOURNAL PROMPTS FOR THE WEEK ✍ 🔱 What are the dreams and goals that I currently want to focus on the most? How can I adjust my day to day routine to make more time and space for my dreams and ambitions? 🔱 How spiritually connected have I been lately? What are some things I can do to feel more spiritually connected to myself and the world around me? 🔱 If physical and financial restrictions weren’t a factor, where would I travel to? What exactly do I want to gain from this experience in this place and why? --------------- ☪ To schedule a 1-on-1 Astrology Reading with me, you can direct message me over social media, or send me an email!

There is a lot of action this week with Venus, putting the focus of the week on our relationships. But as I’ve mentioned in previous episodes, Venus is not just about our romantic lives. Venus is about connection and the way we establish a connection to people and things. The things we find of value and worth, the things that give us an appreciation for life itself. This week is also underlined with Scorpio vibes, with Mercury making his way back into Scorpio after going retrograde. The week starts off with Mercury opposing Uranus too, making way for some potential shocks and shake-ups. The week finishes off on a higher note with the Sun entering the fun-loving sign of Sagittarius. We have a mixed bag of energy this week, folks. Let’s make it a good one! --------------- JOURNAL PROMPTS FOR THE WEEK ✍ ☪ Where have we been unjust or unfair to others, and what tangible steps can we take to make some course correction? ☪ How have we been allowing others to take control over our lives? Have we been giving our power away to people too much lately? Or giving our power away to situations - such as old, bad habits? ☪ How is my relationship with my finances going? Is there anything I can do now to create more of a secure and established situation for myself as the world approaches a time of potential economic uncertainty? --------------- Click here to schedule a reading with me: https://linktr.ee/bduncks Connect with me!: ✨ Instagram: @bduncks ✨ Twitter: @bduncksastro ✨  YouTube: youtube.com/bduncsss

This is a week of intense release. The world is doing a collective exhale as some huge planetary cycles are coming to a culmination. Now that’s not to say that everything is going to be resolved this week, but rather, it could be a huge marking moment in this 2020 timeline as we approach the end of this year. To start the week off... ☯ The feminine and masculine planets Venus and Mars are making an opposition to one another from their respective home signs. 💬 Mercury makes his way back into Scorpio after retrograding back into Libra over the last few weeks. 🔮 The 11/11 portal occurs in the middle of the week! 🌚 We have a New Super Moon in Scorpio this weekend. ♏ To top it all off, Mars is beginning to station direct this week, adding to the intensity of this Scorpio vibe we have been contending with. This week, we are being called to be our own leader. To be our own guru. Our own mentor. We know the answers we seek can always be found through our intuition, through getting quiet and listening to ourselves, instead of giving our free will and choice away to other sources of authority. We must be our own authority. --------------- JOURNAL PROMPTS FOR THE WEEK✍ ☯ Have I been fair in balancing my own wants and needs with the wants and needs of others whom I have meaningful relationships with? How can I better balance the wants and needs of others while still being true and fair to myself? ☯ What are some of the morals and beliefs I truly value most, and how have I been embodying them in my life? ☯ What external sources might  have I given too much of my own power away to, and have come to realize are not the most trustworthy and reliable? How can I take my authority back from these sources? NEW MOON JOURNAL PROMPTS ✍ 🌑 What emotions do I feel uncomfortable feeling or expressing? Why? 🌑 Out of everything that has changed or been broken down in my life this year, what situations have I allowed myself to say goodbye to that were for the better? How can I channel that strength, wisdom and foresight to help me navigate some of the situations I’m dealing with now? 🌑 What is my relationship to my emotions like? Do I allow myself to dive deep into the stories behind my emotions, or do I usually generalize them and write them off as “just stressed” or “just tired”, for example? --------------- Click here to schedule a reading with me: https://linktr.ee/bduncks Connect with me!: ✨ Instagram: @bduncks ✨ Twitter: @bduncksastro ✨  YouTube: youtube.com/bduncsss

Throughout this first full week of November we are going to be contending with a lot of ups and downs; I’m choosing to remain hopeful that the amount of ups will balance out the downs. 🤞 There's a lot happening with Mercury as he stations direct to start the week off, after being retrograde for the last 3 weeks or so. This brings in a huge shift in energy in of itself; we should be feeling  more clear in terms of the direction things could go in, but might not necessarily go. This theme of gaining clarity - gaining emotional clarity - will be prominent. This entire week has a heavy, tense undertone to it, unfortunately. This is because Mars is stopping this week in preparation to move forward again, ending his retrograde period which first began when he went into his shadow back in the beginning of September. Mars is the last planet that enjoys a retrograde, so there’s a heaviness to this week that will be hard to ignore. The emotional outbursts we’ve been witnessing/experiencing since Mars first went retrograde are probably only going to continue until Mars stations direct on the 13th this month. --------------- JOURNAL PROMPTS FOR THE WEEK  ✍ ☪ How have my communication skills been lately? Have I been actively working towards becoming a better communicator, and if not, what's been holding me back from doing so? ☪ How have I been managing my emotions lately? In what ways have I been spending my energy and attention, and how conducive are these outlets beneficial (or not) for me? ☪ What is my general overall belief of life itself? Do I have a positive or a negative outlook on life? ☪ How do I react when faced with difficult truths? What is my emotional resiliency like? --------------- Click here to schedule a reading with me: https://linktr.ee/bduncks Connect with me!: ✨ Instagram: @bduncks ✨ Twitter: @bduncksastro ✨  YouTube: youtube.com/bduncsss

Romantic energy. Decision making. Communication skills. Dreamy, psychic, vibes. These are some of the themes we are entering into this week as we finish off the month of October. The week starts off rather light, but the energy starts to intensify as we approach the Full Super Moon at the end of the week on Halloween. This week can go one of two ways, and ultimately I think it will be dependent on how these aspects are influencing your individual chart. This is one of those weeks where a lot of things that we’ve been dealing with throughout the year are coming to a boiling point. We could see a lot of unexpected events occur towards the end of the week. With Taurus, Scorpio and Libra being highlighted this week, it could be a week of foundational breakthroughs or breakdowns. And this is a bit of a check-in point for us to see how we’ve been chugging along this year, how we’ve been handling things and dealing with our own individual drama whilst navigating the craziness of the events going on in the world around us, and the changes that are coming as a result. --------------- JOURNAL PROMPTS FOR THE WEEK: ⚖ What are the relationships we value most that I need to prioritize, and how can I best go about doing so? ⚖ What areas of my life have been out of balance lately - areas that I committed towards changing and bettering for myself earlier this year - and how have I been doing in bringing them back into balance? ⚖ How are my communication skills; are there any areas in terms of the way that I communicate that I could polish up in? --------------- 🌝 Click here to schedule a reading with me: https://linktr.ee/bduncks Connect with me!: ✨ Instagram: @bduncks ✨ Twitter: @bduncksastro ✨  YouTube: youtube.com/bduncsss

We’ve got a lighter week ahead of us - thankfully! - in comparison to the past couple weeks, where we’ve been dealing with quite a bit of heaviness and tension from all the action with Mars, Saturn, Pluto and Mercury. But this week Venus makes some fortuitous aspects that should bring in some light and harmonious energy throughout the week. We also are entering Scorpio season this week! This is a season of passion, intensity, transformation and truths being revealed. --------------- JOURNAL PROMPTS FOR THE WEEK: 🌟 Who are some of the people in my circle that I can rely on and go to in challenging times, that I see as a source of strength? 🌟 What are some of the relationships in my life that I want to devote more time and energy to? (Romantic relationships, friendships, familial, coworkers, our relationship to money, or art/creativity.) 🌟 How can I reinvent myself in this next month? What parts of myself can I finally put to rest, so that something new can be born? ---------------- 🌝 Click here to schedule a reading with me: https://linktr.ee/bduncks Connect with me!: ✨ Instagram: @bduncks ✨ Twitter: @bduncksastro ✨  YouTube: youtube.com/bduncsss

The constant themes we’ve been dealing with throughout 2020, and what I think are really being highlighted here with these three lunations this month, is this concept of structure, order, governance, and authority, with the Jupiter-Saturn-Pluto business happening in Capricorn all month, and the contrast of asserting ourselves against this authority, breaking down the structures and rebuilding the foundations in a way that works for us. Taking back our power against these forces that we feel have been working against us or challenging us all year. Taking back our power from the situations where we’ve given our power away. October is said to be the most action-packed months out of all of 2020. The Sun enters Scorpio on the 22nd, Mercury sits in Scorpio for the majority of the month, while also going retrograde from the 14th until Nov. 1st. Scorpio is a sign of intensity and extremes, dealing with anything underworldly and completely uninterested in anything but the cold, hard truth. With both the Sun and Mercury in this untamed and sometimes frightening sign, we also have Mars, one of the rulers of Scorpio, sitting retrograde in his other home sign of Aries. And Pluto, the other ruler of Scorpio, recently stationing and returning to a direct motion after being retrograde since the spring. This is putting a huge emphasis on Scorpio energy this month, making it an extremely fitting month for Halloween and all things… surprising and spooky. --------------- JOURNAL PROMPTS FOR THE NEW & FULL MOONS: 🌚 What do I need to release or let go of this New Moon? 🌚 What relationships do I need to cut ties with, or restructure in some way, in order to move forward and invite more harmony and balance into my life? 🌚 What am I saying NO to, and what am I saying YES to? 🌝 What areas of my life need to be cleansed or cleaned out - mental or physical? 🌝 What practical actions or steps can I take to create more organization and structure in my day-to-day routines? 🌝 How can I better support my health at this time? What have I been putting off that I know I need to revisit in terms of my health habits? --------------- Click here to schedule a reading with me: https://linktr.ee/bduncks Connect with me!: ✨ Instagram: @bduncks ✨ Twitter: @bduncksastro ✨  YouTube: youtube.com/bduncsss

“Unleash in the right time and place before you explode at the wrong time and place.” I think this quote from Oli Anderson describes rather accurately the vibe of this week. We have the Sun making some stimulating/challenging aspects to Jupiter, Saturn and Mars this week. Mercury is going retrograde on the 14th. AND we have a New Super Moon coming up on the 16th. I think one of the main themes this week is an invitation for us to become aware of how we are managing our emotions, our anger in particular, and our reactions to any changes or transformations that are triggering us. Understanding why we are being triggered in the first place. Digging deeper into the stories we’re telling ourself, the truth behind the narratives that keep us stuck in a state of emotional reactivity. Discovering how we’re USING (or not using) this energy that is being built up within us, in a productive way. All the while dealing with feeling a huge sense of being stuck and held back, almost if time is frozen, with Mars being retrograde and still making a pretty consistent square with Pluto. Adding in the Sun-Mars opposition on the 13th, it's going to feel like there is a huge lull in psychological time during the middle of the week. So things could get interesting! But we have some softer aspects that should help mellow out the vibe of the week overall, especially in comparison to the past few weeks we've been having. --------------- JOURNAL PROMPTS FOR THE WEEK: 🌟 What have I been allowing to build up inside me that I know I need to release and let go of? 🌟 What sort of emotions do I need to get honest with myself about in order to approach the conflicts I'm dealing with in a heart-centred and compassionate way? 🌟 What conversations do I need to have - with myself or within my relationships - in order to support my growth and transformation as an individual, so that I can live more deeply in my purpose and truth? ---------------- 🌝 Click here to schedule a reading with me: https://linktr.ee/bduncks Connect with me!: ✨ Instagram: @bduncks ✨ Twitter: @bduncksastro ✨  YouTube: youtube.com/bduncsss

We’re still very much riding the same waves from the past few days, with both Pluto and Saturn stationing last week in preparation to resume their apparent forward journeys in the sky after being retrograde since April and May, respectively. This week brings in quite a bit more tension as Mars makes his second square to Saturn for the year, and the Moon transiting through also making some aspects to the heavyweight planets, we’ll all likely be feeling rather emotionally driven this week. That's why I've decided to take a line from the 90's classic "Drive" by Incubus and title this week's episode "Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there." Cause really, what else can we do but ride the waves of life?!  All in all, this is the kind of week where we will want to remain driven and focused, yet still open to all the unexpected changes that life inevitably always delivers. --------------- JOURNAL PROMPTS FOR THE WEEK: ✨ What are some changes that I am really struggling to accept in life right now, and why? ✨ What is being called or required of me right now - what is it that I need to do - in order to transition into and embrace these changes more easily? ✨ What do - or who do - I need to show more compassion towards right now, and how can I begin to do that? --------------- 🌝 Click here to schedule a reading with me: https://linktr.ee/bduncks Connect with me!: Instagram: @bduncks Twitter: @bduncksastro YouTube: youtube.com/bduncsss

Overall this is a predominantly tense week, with the square between Mars and Saturn and the Aries Full Moon, but we do have a few nicer aspects going on that should hopefully help alleviate some of the heaviness that all of us are likely going to be feeling. This energy is going to be thematically the same across the board - dealing with themes of transforming structural foundations in our life. On a more personal level, we're all going through our own unique situations and learning to deal with them in our own way. --------------------- JOURNAL PROMPTS FOR THIS WEEK: ✨ Is there something within our life, within us, that needs to "die" in order for something more beautiful to be birthed? What truths do I need to face and accept in order for this to happen? ✨ What fears from my past are keeping me stuck and preventing me from going after my deepest desires? ✨ How can I go about cultivating more courage? Where does the source of my courage actually originate? ✨ What am I releasing for this Full Moon? ✨ How do I receive gifts from others? ✨ Do I allow myself to graciously receive help and gifts and love when it is being offered to me? If not, how can I learn how to receive more thoughtfully and considerately?  -------------------- ✨ Click here to schedule a reading with me: https://linktr.ee/bduncks Connect with me!: Instagram: @bduncks Twitter: @bduncksastro YouTube: youtube.com/bduncsss

We have quite a heavy week ahead of us! Communication barriers and confrontation are the dominant subject matter of this week. Conflicts within our relationships could easily arise, so we will want to be particularly mindful of the way we use our words. Words can kill if we’re not careful! JOURNAL PROMPTS FOR THIS WEEK: 🌙 Where have I given away my own authority out of fear of feeling like I don’t know enough, therefore I’m not good enough/worthy enough?   🌙 Where do I trust the opinions of others too much because I feel like I can’t trust my own opinion in a matter, and what can I do to cultivate more self-trust in that area? 🌙 What have I been avoiding learning or conquering because I’ve felt like I haven’t been "smart" enough in the past to learn whatever that thing is? 🌙 Have I been harbouring any resentment or anger towards someone or some situation? What can I do to begin letting go of this resentment?   🌙 How have I not been honouring my boundaries and allowing others to impede on them? ---------------------------------------------- ✨ Click here to schedule a reading with me: https://linktr.ee/bduncks Connect with me!: Instagram: @bduncks Twitter: @bduncksastro YouTube: youtube.com/bduncsss

New Moon in Virgo - September 17, 2020   If there are any areas of our life that need meticulous revision, now is the time to make those changes and adjustments.  Virgo is typified as the “perfectionist” for it's keen eye for detail, natural inclination for continuous analysis and goal-oriented nature. Virgos are often stereotyped as a “type-A” personality -  competitive, ambitious, impatient, aggressive, fast talking.    But underneath the “Monica Geller” hard outer shell is an incredible amount of humility. Virgos are passionate about “process” and therefore are always in constant evaluation-mode, inwardly and outwardly.  So with this Virgo season, we can find ourselves self-analyzing a little too much to the point that we end up feeling overly-anxious, or questioning our sense of worth based on our progress, in whatever it is we are “competing” in.   This New Moon in Virgo is making a trine to Saturn in Capricorn, so that will really benefit us in getting more disciplined with ourselves, getting more driven and focused. This will allow us to cultivate the personal austerity that will help us to make any foundational changes to our lives.    ✨ Click here to schedule a reading with me: https://linktr.ee/bduncks Connect with me!:  Instagram: @bduncks Twitter: @bduncksastro YouTube: youtube.com/bduncsss
