There are a few major transits this month that we're going to be looking at for you. We're going to go through all 12 rising signs, and we'll be looking at Pluto's ingress into Aquarius, which is happening now as Pluto completes its journey through Capricorn. No more Capricorn. Now it's just Aquarius for almost like 20 years. So we've got horoscopes prepared for you on Pluto's shift into Aquarius. We're also going to be looking at the major Mars Pluto opposition that starts the month off right after the New Moon in Scorpio this Mars Pluto opposition is therefore ruling the new moon.

It's something that you all helped us do through our Kickstarters over the past two years. So that service is finally about to launch, and I'll let you know more about that as soon as it's ready, which should be any day now, really getting ready to go here and hopefully the first couple weeks of November. So on that note, I'm really excited to take a look at your horoscopes this month, and welcome back Dana and Alex. Yay. Yeah. Okay, let me just hear I am realizing that there we go. Can you guys hear me? Okay, yes,
Alex Amorosi
your voice just got very Darth, vadery,
Adam Elenbaas
I just realized that I didn't have for our power went out recently, and whenever it goes out, for some reason, I have to set the default microphone over again, because it defaults after the power goes off and back it goes back to my my computer's whatever it is the computer mic that's built in, which sounds terrible. Yes, yeah, even though I'll set, even though I'll set it as default for like, the next 10 times I log in, I have to reset it as default. And I don't know why it won't just stay. Just stay.
Alex Amorosi
These are the behind the scenes things that nobody, nobody really knows. Adam suffer with astrologers. You know
Adam Elenbaas
that is, that is absolutely correct. If you guys want to know more about Dana and Alex, at the end, today, I'm going to tell you more about how you can book readings with them. Get in touch with them. Stay in contact with their creative work as astrologers. So I'll make sure that I plug them at the end of today. But how have you guys been doing? How have things been going with Mars in Cancer? We went through an eclipse season this last month of October. Where are you guys at? How, where's How are things for you guys?
Dana Solana
Dana, why
Alex Amorosi
don't you lead us off? I'm gonna give that right to you. Yeah. So
Dana Solana
the Libra Eclipse was in my first house, and I was a an emotional wreck. I was. Very, very emotional. Like, you guys know, I teach high school English, I told a story, like a personal story in class that day, and I just felt, like, really embarrassed, like I felt embarrassed about being vulnerable, or like I perceived that I was being vulnerable, and I felt weird about it, like, I don't know, it sort of unraveled this whole thread for me, of like, feeling weird about being vulnerable. So that's been a thing, um, and then also, I've been thinking a lot like, I have a baby. He's 20 months. His birthday is in February. He'll be two. But I've been thinking a lot about how, like, he is not mine. Does that make sense? Like, I don't. You know, I'm his mother, but he isn't a separate human and that's been, it's been a lot to process. Like, might seem kind of obvious, but, you know, it's been something I've had to really digest this month. Yeah, for sure,
Alex Amorosi
I don't have kids, but that would seem like for every parent, in some way going through that at different points in your kids lives. That's that sounds really profound, steep, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam Elenbaas
It's just that Khalil Gibran quote. I think it's Khalil Gibran where it's like, oh, is it Khalil drawn? Where am I remembering this from? But he's talking about how our kids come through us. Yeah, they aren't ours. They come through us and, yeah. Yeah. And in many ways, the process of parenting is a sort of spiritual Midwifery, you know, like, are we preparing them to grow and learn and just continue flourishing in this lifetime? You know, knowing that it's many lifetimes, and for whatever reason, the gods have put us into this little constellation, and hopefully we grow, not just because we, you know, we, we just, like, beat each other up karmically and then heal from it. Just like one way of growing, hopefully we, I mean, like, life kind of beats us up and we learn, and then we grow and but I mean, it's also like, can we foster a safe, beautiful, tranquil, you know, flowing experience as much as we can for each other and like, that's not, that's, that's hard work. Yeah, for sure, yeah, wow.
Alex Amorosi
How about you? Alex, well, I was saying to these guys before we got on, like, you know, part of me that the enlightened spiritual master in me wants to say Pluto and Capricorn. Thank you for these beautiful lessons. I'm so grateful for. And now I'm just like, I am going to my seventh house. I'm done with the sixth house. I am all set with Pluto and Capricorn. But no, I think that this has been a very one of the things I noticed about Pluto a lot, and I've been, this has been a slow burn over the last 16 years, for me, is Pluto will get you down to a base level. Truth, you may not like it, it may not be comfortable or easy, but what I've been coming to you, and I'm having Mars opposing Pluto from my 12 to my sixth house, so there's a lot of unconscious, deeper, more bedrock stuff, you know, primal stuff, especially from being very young and coming to terms with it. And it's, it's disturbing, but also really healing at the same time. I guess this sounds paradoxical, but it's a really interesting, I put my Buddhist hat on. It's kind of an interesting idea that's arising, which is this sort of Pluto, I think can be really, really healing, but Pluto is going to put your face in it, and you're going to have to see whatever you really didn't want to see or couldn't see. And a lot of that stuff is very underworld. It's very, you know, primal, and it's a lot of images, and it's a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense. So I've been doing a lot of work with that. So it's been intense, but all together, without being, you know, just toxically positive about it. It has been very healing and grounding in a very strange way.
Adam Elenbaas
Yeah, yeah. I am absolutely blown away. As Mars is in cancer, with how much has come up within my family that I wasn't anticipating health issues for a few family members that have been coming up, and like I've shared a little bit about it on my channel with my dad having a surgery, my sister's been having some health challenges. So it's been it's interesting. It's interesting also because I think that people who have a lot of Cancerian energy are often wired to go through major personal changes when family karma changes. So like, when I've gone through major parallels at different times in my life. I got married the year my parents got divorced. That wasn't planned, you know, like, so there, there's been a lot of, like, important moments of growth for me personally, have come at very interesting crossroads for other people in my family or extended family. So I've been kind of, I've been fascinated by that, as Mars has been in cancer so far, and a lot of that kind of stuff has been coming up. I was also like just, I was amazed at how accurately you can track certain kinds. Kinds of events with Mars. I think I mentioned last time, like, we had a plumbing issue with the dishwa or the garbage disposal. My daughter has her ascendant rulers, Mercury and Capricorn. She got injury at gymnastics. Then, you know, got sick, and it was just like, perfectly timed to the opposition to her ascendant ruler. I think stuff like that is like, you know what? What I find really interesting is to think that even a cold, like just a nasty cold you get for a week, is somehow karmic and able to be tracked and seen in some ways with astrology. Like, what does it's like? I'm just curious what kind of karma is burning off during a cold. I think I might get a little bit more reflective about that the next time I have a cold. So what
Alex Amorosi
complex web was weaving together exactly naughty notes?
Adam Elenbaas
I mean, this month is, I think, a month of, obviously, we start off the month here in the United States with the election. And while we don't get into that so much, nobody can deny who's into astrology the proximity of the Mars Pluto opposition to the election, that's a very powerful symbol, constellated right around a major political event in the United States, the new moon in so let me put the chart up. Let's start looking at some of this together. We kind of preview where we're heading with these horoscopes. So we can see that the New Moon in Scorpio is forming here. This is Halloween, but if we step it forward today, we'll see that it's early morning on November 1 that the New Moon in Scorpio forms, and that New Moon in Scorpio is hosted by the Fallen Mars at the anaretic degree that's opposing Pluto. So, I mean, this is a moon cycle that promises some real drama. I mean, I don't say that lightly, because I don't like to whip up fear unnecessarily. A lot of moon cycles have some intensity here or there. This one is, it's really dramatic. I mean, there's just no other way of putting it. Now, that doesn't mean that everyone will experience drama, but I think that it's, it's likely that if you don't, you probably will know someone who does, because these, these transits are big enough that you know one or two people you know in your life will probably have a big impact, especially if they have planets in late degrees of Cardinal signs, early degrees of fixed signs. What to speak of just, you'll witness it in the collective you'll see it in the news. That this is not going to be a quiet headline. It just that's just not how these transits tend to work. The Mars Pluto opposition, as for as nuclear as it is, it is also very cathartic, right? I mean, it can really create some positive transformation, even if the energy feels a little hostile or confrontational or sort of intense, the shifts that are made in these late degrees of Cardinal signs are often necessary. And so there's something relieving when the dust settles, it's like, okay, well, now I can move on. And I didn't like that, but I can see how maybe that was a necessary thing. So these are some of the things that come to mind with the cycle. And then as the month goes on, the early part of the month is very intense. In some ways. Our horoscopes are really geared toward the first five days of the month. But then the other really important shift is here on the 19th, once we get to the 19th of November, Pluto will move into Aquarius, where it will now stay for, you know, two decades. So we've got an ingress of a major outer planet into a new sign, and that's always going to be top candidate for, you know, the biggest event of the month. If you have Uranus Neptune or Pluto shifting signs, the ingress into a new sign will activate a new set of topics in your chart, and for everybody, especially if you, if you use whole signs I'm talking about, of course, but in horoscopes, that's for sure, all horoscopes are whole signs. So this will create a major shift of focus from Pluto being in one house in your chart to another, and that shift, for many people is very acute, like you'll there'll be events that sort of announce, hey, Pluto's in this new place in your life, doing a new kind of work. And there will be events that will somehow foreshadow what the next two decades are about. And so that doesn't mean that they will be exactly about the event, but the themes, the tensions, that the kinds of underlying psychological dynamics, will continue to unfold from the ingress point forward. We've had a few ingresses already, but this last one is also important because it's the final one. So before we actually break these down, I want to give a chance to for Dana and Alex to weigh in on some of these transits before we look at your horoscopes like, what? What about these transits stands out to you guys? Or, what? What kind of images or ideas come to your mind when you think about this month, I've
Dana Solana
been thinking a lot about Mars, just because it feels like. Back between now, when we're recording this, like october 23 right until what we're talking about, Mars, opposite Pluto. All roads lead back to Mars. In cancer, the new moon being ruled by Mars. Mars is making some contact with the outer planets prior to opposing Pluto. So I just feel like that, like if you're tracking transits and you're trying to use astrology as a mindfulness practice, paying attention to what Mars is doing is a really good option right now, and even reflecting on what it's been doing since it entered cancer, the the endings also seem like such a huge theme, not just for, you know, Mars in Cancer, but obviously Pluto, and then being at the 29th degree, like, there's, there's something's coming to an end. And so that's kind of what I've been thinking about. What about you, Alex? I
Alex Amorosi
just want to say that I think this Mars Pluto opposition is, like, really unnecessary
Adam Elenbaas
best comment of the day. A
Alex Amorosi
little obnoxious, so just gonna put that out there. But, you know, yeah, I agree, I agree with everything you guys are saying that, you know, I don't want to use too gross of an image here, but is, it is a healing one where I think, you know, Mars, Mars opposing Pluto can be a little bit like Lansing and abscess. It's like something that's, you know, really stuck or putrid or toxic or congested or and then Mars comes along with and it sort of like cuts loose what has been toxic in some way. And I think what's interesting is, as Dana was alluding to, is Mars will just have Trine Neptune before going into this opposition and sextile Uranus with the way that the outer planets are arranged right now, I don't know, you know, I feel like Neptune, soft aspects from Neptune, can be helpful in the sense of sort of clearing something or washing something away, of like, you know, irrigating the wound, kind of idea. And the other thing, you know, just to try not to be the the hyper optimistic sad here, but just to notice is that um, Mars will pick up dignity is very quickly after this opposition moving into Leo and be a mutual reception with the sun. The sun will be in Mars assign, and Mars will be in the sun sign. Now, I don't know if that's going to tamp down anything that may be arising around that time, but there's it's it feels to me kind of like a massive cathartic moment that's followed by some amount of forward motion, at least up until Mars begins to station in early December. There's something that feels like it can move forward a little bit more, and then we might have to revisit some of these ideas as Mars begins to retrograde. But those are just kind of my general thoughts on the the way this is all kind of playing out as they move. Yeah,
Adam Elenbaas
yeah. I mean to me, the that it is really interesting that the Mars Sun con the square comes into a mutual reception that feels to me like there's an amplification of that kind of muscular and authoritative executive quality in the sky. It's like Mars. Mars and the Sun, when they work together, is sort of like the the king and his army, you know, they have like the right you know, Mars is sometimes called the Right Arm of the Sun. It feels like there's a mobilization of resources or and this is what I mean, just speaking for a second about the mundane quality of this. This does speak to the potential for clashes when it comes to transitions of power, right, like a transition of power in an election where we already know that there's likely to be contested results and so on and so forth. This just feels like the setup for complicated issues about succession or complicated issues when it comes to power and leadership and authority at the same time, I feel like, on a personal level, one thing that's nice is that if Mars and Pluto in opposition, kind of put a fire under your ass for one reason or another, the kind of willpower and executive thinking like, okay, shit, I gotta do something. I gotta, I gotta act on, like some when something powerful happens, and, you know, like, I think of, you know, for example, I think Scorpios and Capricorns are particularly wonderful at this because of their affinity for Mars. Aries, too, to a certain extent. But just that, like, okay, when life throws us into the ICU, so to speak, then we start acting. We start like, I've got this and me, and you know, what? If there's some trauma involved in this, I'm sure there is, I'll have to deal with it later. I have to, I have to, I have to act under a critical stressor right now. And some people really thrive in that space, and others find it excruciating, and it's, it's very personal, I think. But these are good energies in a way, like if there is a crisis. This that you experience emotionally, personally in some sphere of your life. I do feel like the ongoing benefit of this cycle is that, yeah, the sun Mars, mutual opposition or mutual reception, sort of says, Okay, well, here's some mojo to handle it, to sort of step up to the plate and, like, handle the challenge of it.
Alex Amorosi
Yeah. Agreed. Agreed.
Adam Elenbaas
Yeah. So Pluto going into Aquarius. What do you guys think about that? Any general thoughts you want to throw out
Alex Amorosi
there? I think this is a really, you know, I think this is a really interesting what we've been seeing so far, obviously, is, you know, the talk of AI, the talk of, you know, as you mentioned, AI, was it? Ai, aliens and new world orders? The name of your talk? Yeah, those sorts of ideas. Um, I think that what I'm excited for with Pluto and Aquarius, and you see this on in previous Pluto and Aquarius periods, is the, um, the way it often shifts the paradigm through which we see the universe or the world. You know, the scientific discoveries, you know, I think, I think Copernicus is, you know, heliocentric theory was published around this time in the 1500s or there was also the discovery of Uranus. I think was actually when Pluto just moved into Aquarius in the late 18th century. So I think, like, I'm really excited for, like, I think one of the things Pluto and Aquarius seems to do, on a general level, is it sort of take it de specializes things. It decentralizes things. And what it seems to have done for us in previous periods is sort of debase the sense that we're these very special beings on a very special planet in the middle of a very special place. And it's more like, you know, I could I get the idea of aliens? Adam, I don't know if this is where you're going with it in your talk, but this idea of maybe not aliens landing on the White House lawn. But like, if we were to discover it could be, it could be fun.
Adam Elenbaas
He'll be with us.
Alex Amorosi
Just get it, Mr. President. But yeah, you know it could be, just imagine if we just imagine if we just discovered that there was life on the ocean, on in Europa, under Europa's ice cap, or, or, you know, microscopic life on Mars, like that, would completely revamp the way that we see ourselves in the cosmos and everything. So that's, that's, I'm going to stay on that sort of exciting possibility base for that right now. Yeah, with Pluto. Yeah,
Dana Solana
I love that. You know, when I've been thinking about Pluto and Aquarius, I can't help it think about it from the point of view of Pluto and Capricorn, and what stands out to me, like when I think about it collectively, is like the concentration of power and like the idea of the 1% I feel like that has been so exacerbated by Pluto and Capricorn, And I've seen at least, and this could be totally subjective, but like, from where I stand, the people have gotten less and less, you know, since 2008 and it's, it's interesting, because 2007 was when I graduated high school, and that was sort of when we're, like, the world was promised to us, like, go to college, it's going to be great. You're going to get a job and you're going to be able to pay for your loans, and then it's like, surprise, there's a job market crash, and, like, the housing bubble, and, like, there was just problem after problem, like, collective issue after collective issue. I'm really hopeful for Pluto in Aquarius, and I'm obviously it's Pluto, like, there's going to be some confrontation. There's going to be, like, looking under the bed and seeing the the scary shit we don't want to see. That's going to happen. But I'm really hopeful that Pluto and Capricorn maybe, like, mobilized people, and now with Pluto and Aquarius, we can kind of shift the power dynamic that has gotten really skewed since 2008
Adam Elenbaas
Yeah, I note, like Alex, some of the previous historical cycles. One of the things I talk about in this upcoming webinar I'm doing is extensively, is the connection to the American Revolution, which was Pluto and Aquarius, and then the simultaneous entrance of Neptune into Aries, which coincided with the American Civil War. I just I don't, no matter which way you look at it, I can't see how the next year or two with these ingresses happening of Pluto into Aquarius and Neptune into Aries don't lead to some major political transformations and social and cultural transformations in the West, quote, unquote, the the United States, obviously, in particular, um even Uranus into Gemini. The potential for the light twin and the dark twin in a dual, you know, in a dual party politics system, comes to my mind that happens next June, alongside of Neptune and Saturn in Aries, alongside of Pluto and Aquarius. Like I think we're reaching some kind of revolutionary tipping point, culturally, politically, Pluto and Aquarius, I agree, is like very promising when it comes to the potential for a new vision, but a different way of understanding. And you know, unfortunately, one truth about America historically, that I think I understand. End is that we crisis points become inflection points for growth and evolution in our culture, in a way that's kind of unfortunate, you know, but we're also young and as a country, as a civilization, we're relatively young and just like kids that you know, often learn through bumps and bruises. And I mean, it doesn't surprise me that it's sort of like a youngish country that's come on the stage with such revolutionary spirit behind it would go through future periods of revolutionary turmoil. So I'm kind of like anticipating that. I don't know what that means. I don't have any. I'm just purely reflecting on that astrologically, right? I'm not, I'm not trying to imply anything about that. It's just that's what I kind of expect. And I expect that regardless of who wins the election. Honestly, I just expect that because that's where the astrology is heading. But yeah, Pluto and Aquarius for us personally, I think one of the things that excites me about it is that there's some opportunity for us to, you know, take that spaceship up to the 20,000 foot perspective. You know, I've heard the the it was William Shatner who, like, got to go into the, I don't remember. It was Jeff Bezos shuttle, or whatever it was, and he got to go up to the moon, or, I don't know what exactly happened, but they went up to space. They went into space, and he was quite clearly, he was like deeply moved by the view of Earth from outside of the earth. Aquarius is like that for us, maybe not all at once, but in a process, over a period of time, it sort of allows us to see the Earth as this big ball where all of the boundaries are artificial. You know, you can't see country lines. You can't, you know, you just see earth and water and clouds and and Aquarius, I think, has the potential to give us a really objective view of something and then a bigger, broader view helps us start to reconfigure things. So I don't always like what it takes to get us to a broader, bigger view, because sometimes it takes crisis, and Pluto will certainly have us looking at power and fairness and compassion and all sorts of things in order to help us step out of the the norms, and get, get that bigger view, but it's still very promising that it can, it can provide us with a kind of a brave, revolutionary vision that we maybe haven't considered yet.
Alex Amorosi
Yeah, I've been thinking a lot about Pluto and Aquarius, you know, in the symbolism of that Adam like revealing corrupted data bits, you know, seeing, you know what, what's in the system that, you know there's Aquarians are usually so system oriented, and can usually see the connections between so many little bits of information. I can see Pluto and Aquarius just being like, we're going to have to look at like, where the where the program has some corrupted data, what needs to be extracted, pulled out? Yeah, reorganized, yeah, for sure.
Adam Elenbaas
That's a good way of thinking about it. Are you guys ready to dive into horoscopes?
Alex Amorosi
Yes, yeah,
Adam Elenbaas
let's do it. We're going to alternate. Alex is taking our cardinal signs. I am taking fix. Dana will be taking mutable, and we'll comment on each other's horoscopes as we go. We will be alternating every other episode with Pisces starting first, but Pisces started first last time. So I know in Pisces world, they're probably like, well, we need at least 400 times in a row before this is equal. You know, we can't heal all of the past at once. We have to just do it incrementally. No, I'm kidding. So okay, so we're gonna start with Aries this week. Next time, we'll flip and we'll start with Pisces, and we'll just keep alternating like that, because I got so much feedback from a lot of a little so many Pisceans out there who are like, Oh my God, you finally see me. You really do care.
Alex Amorosi
I've always laughed all the time. I and no one thinks about me, and I get rushed because they're at the end, and oh my goodness.
Adam Elenbaas
And then it gets into this vicious archetypal circle where you go, well, you're you're last, because you're such a whiner. And they go, Yeah, but you always put me last, and that's why I whine. And then it's like, yeah, get
Alex Amorosi
out of it. Yeah.
Adam Elenbaas
All right. So let's start with Aries. Alex, take us away.
Alex Amorosi
All right. Well, Aries, first of all, you're first again. So congratulations. You're about where you're supposed to be. The beginning of everything. You know, I think this is a very interesting transit for areas. And we might have talked a little bit about this last month with Mars and cancer, your ascendant ruler moving through your fourth house in its fall in a water sign, there's a feeling here of having been in a very much more private, emotional space than you've been used to, a contemplative, slower moving have. To really be inside of your fields a lot more than you're used to being. And now as Mars hits this opposition to Pluto, there's some kind of cathartic moment where it feels like you can come out of that private emotional space, a place where usually fire signs are much more sort of, I guess the word is exhibitionist, right? We're just out there sharing everything with everybody all the time. Maybe that's just me as a sad but this is very much of a much more muted transit of Mars through cancer. So as Mars opposes Pluto and then is about to move right into your fifth house in Leo, there's something about, like a rocket ship back into the public sphere in some way to me, um, that's like there's a cathartic moment of recognizing, like, whatever you were dealing with in terms of the emotions, or the feelings this month is cleared, or maybe there's something dramatic that sort of touches them off, and it allows you to move into a much more sort of ambitiously creative space. And then as Pluto moves into which is Mars moving into your fifth house. But then as Pluto moves into Aquarius in your 11th I've just been seeing this for Aries risings, as you know, kind of sorting through your your friend list, and seeing who's a friend and who's a friend of me, like, who's who's really got your back in a solid way, wants to help you move forward, and who you want to help move forward collectively, that's very kind of Aquarian 11th house idea. But also like looking at like, who who really has your back and who has ulterior motives for being in your network or being in your friend group, and there's more of a subconscious or subterranean power struggle going on. So those are just my initial thoughts for for Aries,
Dana Solana
yeah, you know, I'm thinking about the confrontation with this opposition, Alex, what you said about sort of like being in your feels, and I think that's really important to think about, like, what is it that's got me there? Is it this, like with Mars and cancer? Maybe it's like a feeling of impotency, almost like aimless, where do I go? What do I do? And maybe it's coming from within yourself, your inner world, or it's coming from your family. But the Pluto opposition feels like a catalyst, maybe a scary or confronting one, but one that allows you, once Mars enters Leo, to have some courage to create something for yourself, so it almost alchemizes That kind of wishy washy cancer. And that's probably true. That's true for all of us. But I love it for Aries, because now it's in your fifth house. It's trining your first house. Maybe you're making something for yourself, like just because you want to, just because it's beautiful, just because it's fun, like we're talking about the fifth house. So I think that there's a lot of freedom maybe on the horizon for Aries risings.
Adam Elenbaas
Yeah, I love that. I wonder about the idea that Arians are like disentangling themselves from something right now, that the way you present yourself to the world is wrapped up in an old story, maybe one that comes from your past, from your family. And maybe there's some way that you're trying to create a new story about who you are, and that story can't You can't move into this new version of yourself with the same old past, you know, carrying the same old baggage like needs to be released. And then maybe there's also some shift here with respect to social groups, institutions, community, and that different community or different people are needed to complete the story, that it's almost like the connection between family and social life, or family and professional life, or family history or ancestral history, your biography and how it is connected to who you are in the world and where You belong in the world, and there's maybe some pretty dynamic changes happening with respect to who you are and and how you show up in the world, or what people are, the right people for you in in the world. Those are some of the things that come to my mind for Aries, given this shift, but certainly major transformation around groups of people, community, allies, friends, maybe being triggered by some kind of deeper work around family, karma. That's what comes to my mind.
Alex Amorosi
And don't worry, you get to work on it all again at the beginning of the year when Mars Retrogrades back into Canada.
Adam Elenbaas
That's right, yeah, that's right. Let's go forward to Taurus next. And I'm going to be taking the fixed signs here, so I'm a Taurus rising. So this is fun. So Mars is opposing Pluto across the third and ninth house axis. One thing that I think can. A significant thing that can happen here is changing how you think, changing how you feel, changing your mental, emotional, intellectual makeup, and shifting your your deep, more deeply held beliefs, your philosophical orientation. So I think about this as anything that could come up that dramatically shifts your thinking, the way you process or communicate emotional intelligence, you know, just kind of the mental, intellectual and philosophical realm, as well as I would, I would connect it to emotional patterns because of that Mars in Cancer in the third there is maybe a significant, almost like a paradigm shift that's that's happening for Tauruses. I wouldn't be surprised if there were cathartic events that led to a dramatic shift of mental, emotional or intellectual or like spiritual priorities. It may not be that the things that change your mind or your paradigm are purely academic. In other words, it could be that you know, there's a trigger point in family or in a relationship or some other part of your life that causes you to just really deeply rethink things. I also see this as a major transition of paradigm, belief and thought that's connected to Pluto entering the career house and just starting to bring an energy of transformation, maybe a greater awareness of of things like the your power as a professional, or your lack of power, the power of various institutions or organizations or people that you work with, power structures and power dynamics, all the Pluto 10th house stuff, as well as just the potential for Plutonian transformation around your vocation or career. So those two things are where I see the action for Tauruses. What do you guys think?
Alex Amorosi
Well, you know, looking at Pluto moving into the 10th house, and I've seen this with a lot of Taurus rising clients, is there's a you, if you have been feeling the itch or the the itch you need to scratch around your career in some way, shape or form, for a while, Pluto moving into the 10th house will really put a fire under you. And I think that that begins with what you were saying, Adam, about, you know, what you were noticing between the third and the ninth house? Opposition here, as Pluto moves, wherever Pluto goes, whether by into a new house or an aspect, there's usually something that has been ignored or under the surface for a while, something, you know, it's just kind of felt like the splinter in the mind that all of a sudden is like, I gotta do something. And it feels very like, determined and focused, and so I think this might be a time where, yeah, you're looking at how you do you feel powerful or powerless in your career? Are you doing something that has a base level, primal sense of, this is what's right for me. This is the riot at this point in my life. I am doing the right thing. I am living my dharma in the way that I was intended to, because Pluto, when you, when you try to futz around with Pluto and delude yourself with Pluto, it doesn't work. You just know you're not quite hitting the mark. But there's sort of that felt place where I know that, I know that I'm in the right, excuse me, I'm in the right vocation. I'm in the right place for me to be seen in the world right now. So think it'll be interesting to see what happens in November, when that is a final transit back into the Aquarius. Yeah,
Dana Solana
I'm thinking about, I mean, definitely paradigm purging, paradigms, like, if we had to give a slogan for Pluto in the ninth with the opposition in the third, it's like you're going about your day, you're doing the things you always do, and suddenly something within you breaks, and you're like, This is wrong. Kind of like, what you're saying, Alex, like, you know what? Can't do it. This is not working for me anymore. And you kind of realize maybe the disconnect between how you're living and what you believe or think you should be doing, like a disconnection between your actions in your inner world. And I think that's underscored by the fact that Pluto is moving into the 10th house, the house of like action, of where you be. I don't know that sounded film, but I think you guys know what I mean. There's it's your public roles, but it's what you do in the world. And with Pluto leaving your ninth house, it just feels like maybe you're taking that learning of Pluto and Capricorn with you, of like, okay, if this is really what I believe and what my operating principles are and what I value, it's time for me to be about that. Yep,
Adam Elenbaas
yeah, I love that. Because I was reflecting recently on the fact as a Taurus rising, that my study of astrology literally began very close, like within a month of Pluto entering the ninth house, you know, whatever, these 16 years later. And you know, it's interesting that I'm writing outlines for my first book, technical book about astrology. I'm writing, I'm writing another book right now that's more story. Telling, but outlining something like a textbook for some of my programs. It's just so it's so funny that that process of shifting into writing about has occurred as Pluto's made the shift from the ninth to the 10th. I feel like that's a simple example from my life as a Taurus rising that matches precisely what Dana is saying.
Dana Solana
Yeah, that's exciting. Adam, I didn't know you were doing. I knew you were writing, but I didn't know you were writing like textbooks.
Adam Elenbaas
Well, I have the right now. I'm writing a book which is really about it's really meant to use storytelling as a way to understand what divination is, and sort of, that's sort of the biggest, first project I really have been working on for a long time and but then, you know, as you get into a creative flow, at least as I am, I'm starting to envision and plot out subsequent creative projects as I'm realizing my life can finally figure out how to I have the time and space to do it right. But anyway, that is just one small example that I thought I would use to just kind of reinforce how spot on you were with that one. Let's go to Gemini, and I'm going to hand this over to Dana and guys, I'm going to mute myself and go get my refill my water, because my throat is like, I'm gonna I'm not gonna be able to make it all the way through if I don't. So I'm gonna hand you guys the wheel. Dana take over and tell us about Gemini. Okay.
Dana Solana
Dana, take the wheel. Here we go. Try not to wreck the car. Okay, so Mars is in the second house for my Gemini risings and I am, just generally, for all of us, thinking about Mars and cancer as a feeling of aimlessness, of impotence. But when we're talking about the seven the second house, excuse me, it's like, what do I have to give? What do I have to offer? There might be, like, some feelings of self doubt creeping around, slash. It might be frustration around, like, what you share and what you don't share, especially as we approach this opposition with Pluto in your eighth house, which has obviously been here for a long time, and it's kind of enforcing you Gemini risings to really reckon with, you know, your agreements and like what is shared and what is not, and what that brings up for you. I would imagine as a Gemini rising, you might feel kind of natural in partnership. I don't know. I'm not a Gemini rising, but makes sense to me that that would be kind of a natural way for you to be is in partnership. But that doesn't mean that sharing is easy. It doesn't mean that CO owning something is easy. And so it would be good to reflect on what Pluto and Capricorn has brought up for you around the eighth house, topics like karmic debts, literal debts, the things you own with other people. Let's see. Yeah, Pluto's moving into your ninth house, and so we're going to be looking at your those paradigms purging, kind of like we were just talking about with Taurus risings. And what do you what do you believe? What do you value? Mars is going to be moving into your third house, and it feels like there's some there's some courageous action around tidying up the minutia of your life and like, okay, how am I going to structure my day? Maybe, how do I need to communicate differently in order to be heard in the way that I want to be heard. Just feels like there's a lot of changes with, like, the way you do partnership, thinking about the eighth house, and then maybe that refining your beliefs with Pluto moving into the ninth
Alex Amorosi
I love all of that. And I love this idea of, like, the idea of catharsis or purging of something with Pluto, because that's often what it feels like there's like, you know, Pluto, to me, is like the cosmic rotor rooter in a lot of ways. You know, coming along, just unclogging the drain in some it's something that's been stuck for a while. I mean, I see this, the phrase that keeps coming to mind for me is a catharsis of worth um with Mars, you know, moving through its fall in the second house, this would depend on, you know, for Gemini rising, where your moon is, but there's, there's a feeling here of wanting to reclaim one sense of worth that leads to a sense of emotional safety And feeling like, you know, it's not just worth because to get what I want or manifest something, but a sense of worth, of like, when I feel valuable and worthy, I put myself in situations where I feel protected and safe and able to be who I am. And there's something about this, like, I'm seeing the second house more through that, that lens right now, and I think Pluto moving into the ninth house is an amazing signature of beginning the a deep and in depth study of something sciency, philosophical. It could be astrology, you know, astrology, or terror, or something like that. Like that is a really or taking on some sense of greater sort of you. Solemn responsibility as well, some, some kind of feeling of, you know, not just thinking about philosophy, but getting a degree, not just one, you know, thinking about the law, but going to law school. Those, those sorts of things would come to mind too, with Pluto moving into the
Adam Elenbaas
ninth Yeah, you guys remember I was talking about some of the work I've been doing connecting the meanings of the houses in the in the trines to one another. And to me, I find it really interesting that Geminis are about to enter into a space where Pluto will not only be in Aquarius, but Uranus will be in Gemini and so the idea that there's a revolution of our A Geminis sense of self. And of course, that first house was called Dharma, the ninth house was related to dharma, that learning and personal revolution are about to accompany one another. For Geminis, this coincides with a year where Jupiter's also in your first house in Gemini I feel like this is a time where Geminis are going to Life School. And it could be a literal school, it could be life school, but the revolution of identity and of that, that first house, sense of what I'm born to do, who I'm born to be, and how that coincides with a period of learning and of intellectual or spiritual or like philosophical revolution. That's what feels like is very close at hand for Geminis right now. Well, let's move on. I'm sorry I missed the rest of what you guys had to say, but thankfully, now I can talk without my throat being on fire. Remember
Alex Amorosi
recording last year Adam and I had that cold and like, I couldn't stop coughing,
Adam Elenbaas
yeah, oh my god, I'm actually like, so my, my oldest daughter got COVID Last week, and thankful, she tested positive for COVID and the thankfully we, somehow, the whole rest of our house managed to come out without getting sick. It's like, All right, great. I'll take I'll take it. But anyway, no, my throat is sore today because I just recorded several talks this morning, getting ready for some busy days that I have coming up. So I recorded a bunch in advance, and I'm recording this. So my voice is like, what are you doing? Why are we talking so much? Uh, okay, cancer, we're going to hand this over to Alex, and I will illustrate for you. Okay,
Alex Amorosi
so for cancer risings, we have Mars in your first house, opposing Pluto in your seventh, and Pluto about to move into your eighth, and Mars, about to move into your second so interesting. I could see this being a point for if you felt like there's been sort of a crisis in your identity, in like who you have believed yourself to be. Or maybe I was think this is particularly for cancer risings, maybe who others have anticipated or needed you to be. If there's some sense of like, you know, cancer risings often tend to be, there's a caretakery role. There's a desire to sort of archetypally mother and caretaker and do those sorts of things. Mars moving into the first house, and through the first house might needle the places where it's like, where has that gone a little overboard. Where do I want to be individual? Where do I want to do my thing? Where do I want to feel like, you know, I could see this Mars Pluto opposition is like the scene in any movie where they're like, You know what? This is my life, and, God damn it, I'm gonna live it, you know, don't you tell me that I'm not. And then they march out the door and they go live some fabulous life in France or whatever. But, um, you know, I also think that coincides with Pluto moving into the eighth, which I think Pluto in the eighth is a really interesting transit, because there's a sense of, like, really churning the ground of your energy, deep energetic entanglements, like, when we do energy work, the really strong energy cords or the eighth house. And I think that that can both be a deepening of those cords and connections when it's healthy, but I think what Pluto also does is it shows you like this cord or this connection or this entanglement is toxic. It's not working anymore. It's overstate its welcome. It's past its expiration date, and you really have no better ally in the pantheon of planets than Pluto to really unroot some of that deeper stuff that may feel like it's very difficult to let go of, or very difficult to bring out, but it there. Pluto gives it some amount of like really getting it up by the root and and allowing, allowing your connections to feel a little bit more equal in their exchange and a little bit more equal in their Yeah, in their exchange that you feel, you feel more balanced with that. Yeah, yeah.
Dana Solana
You know, I'm thinking very much along the same lines, Alex, sort of how, as a cancer rising right? You're you, maybe it's easy for you to step into the caretaker role. It's comfortable. For you to step into that role, Mars in the first house, saying, yeah, when is it going to be my turn? And Pluto has been in the seventh house for so long, acting like a mirror and kind of showing you almost a similar thing, of like your relationship, it can't be everything for you, right? Like you need your own thing. And when Pluto moves into the a pass, I just kept thinking about like enmeshment and the idea of control and letting go, and how caretaking when it's toxic. And of course, it's not always like it's a beautiful thing that Cancerians are like this, but it can become toxic because it can almost be a form of control and kind of clinging to like, this is my role in this relationship. Here's how I'm needed. And maybe Pluto can like, can compost that a little bit and kind of show you where like, is this rooted in fear, or is this rooted in love?
Adam Elenbaas
That is that I really like the way you put that, it got me thinking. There's also, if you think about this as a culminating moment in Pluto's history of the seventh house for cancers. I just, I wonder what things with a lot of history behind them that are very personal, and one of the reasons they could be very personal is not just because they have to do with you, but because, let's say you're married, you know, you're in a relationship with someone. I could see this as just a something with a lot of history behind it coming to a head that's very personal. And it doesn't necessarily just have to be about a relational struggle or conflict, although, you know, it could be like a kind of cathartic or like a crossroads moment of death or transformation or crisis in a relationship or a marriage. Like, sure, that's like one of the most basic, like textbook entries you could have for Mars opposite Pluto across the first and seventh, but it also comes to my mind that, like, if your husband, you know, gets laid off, if you're if your spouse, if your spouse's mother dies, like I'm not, I don't think I'm not seeing anything in particular. I'm just saying significant events in a spouse's life that have a dramatic impact on you personally could also be signified here, because things with a lot of history behind them that are related to someone you love or are close with could have a very direct, impersonal impact on you right now, even though it's not really about you, it's about someone that you're close to. So I would look for that as well. The other thing that I wonder about is this kind of cathartic moment is leading to maybe some kind of revisioning or restructuring of how you view karmic interactions in general, like when Pluto moves into Aquarius in the eighth house after coming off from something like this, it makes me think, Boy, this would be, this could be a really important moment of greater, objective reflection on, like fate itself. You know, I think, for example, about, let's just say that that again, I'm just going to make up a story. Let's say that your spouse loses someone that they love, and it's someone that you know, and maybe it's one of the first people you've ever known personally who has died. Pluto immediately enters the eighth house, and all of a sudden you're reflecting on karma, Destiny, fate, and some pretty weighty existential themes, the kinds of things that lead people to become a Buddhist, or those kinds of things that lead people to take up a spiritual path. You're contemplating the reality of impermanence and death and getting a more objective view of it than you ever have. So I just wonder about what Cancerians are are like witnessing or holding space for as well as what they might be going through personally in relationships. Let's move on to Leo's so we've got and this is where I read for Alex personally.
Alex Amorosi
Thank you. Don't keep the Leos waiting.
Adam Elenbaas
So I'm gonna back this up. I'm going to back the clock up by a day so that I can get Mars into let's get Mars into cancer. There we go. Okay, so here we have for Leo risings, the 12th house. The 12th house, Mars Pluto opposition across the 12th and sixth, excuse me. Um, the fact that this is coming off a New Moon in Scorpio that's ruled by that Mars in the fourth house, to me, looks like family karma for Leo's um, what? What are the the deep. More and more difficult emotions that you have with respect to your family, your mom, your dad, how you were raised, your upbringing, or what are the secrets, or what are the sicknesses? What is sort of in that more subterranean space that is coming up for some kind of purging, healing, cleansing, transformation, even if it's just psychological conditioning from your past, from how you were raised, from the way in which you somehow participate in mom or dad's karma, how, also things like the living environment itself for let's just set aside family karma, and let's just say your living space, and the relation that we have with home, safety, privacy, the home should ideally be. We were talking off camera. Before we got on, we were talking about having a home base, and how helpful that is when it comes to surviving difficult times, even if it's just your own apartment, if it's your own bedroom. If it's a family that is not perfect, but you connect to and they help you weather difficult storms. So whatever that is, I feel like for Leo's right now, there's catharsis happening around home, family history, your safe space, the need to address how what feels like safety and stability. There's a need for depth and vulnerability and authenticity. I think too for Leo's. I think with Mars subsequently going right into the first house, Pluto going right into the seventh house, we're also talking maybe about different values or styles of relationship, of leadership, of like how responsibilities are shared or split within the home, and we're talking about some kind of catharsis that could also lead a Leo to say, I've got this. Let me let me help. Let me lead. Let me take a position of authority because someone needs help, or something needs to get done, or we need to create safety where it feels like there's instability or something like that. Those are some of the things that come to my mind right away. But I'm going to hand it over to you guys, and you tell me what you
Dana Solana
think. Alex, so I have a sixth house, Delia, but when you talked about the sixth the last time you talked about the sixth house, I don't remember for what time, but you were talking about the idea of acceptance, and how the sixth house can be like an access point to that through enduring difficulty and suffering. And that is what comes to mind here, that like Pluto and Capricorn, has been presenting you with opportunities if we want to put it in a nice way to do that, to like, find acceptance through the difficulty and to persevere through challenging times. But Mars in the 12th kind of feels like, wow, I'm really tired of that. Like, please, can we not which, you know, that's very vague, but another Leo rising, I know, is kind of going through a really hard time with work where they are not feeling seen appreciated. This has been going on for a long time, and they they're not being heard. So I think for Leo risings, like, obviously, that's a specific example, but Mars in the 12th as feeling just like this inner sense of impotence and maybe futility even, like, what's the point? And I want to encourage Leo risings to when this opposition perfects, to not let that be the end of the story. Like, if you're really feeling down or really like stunted or stuck when Mars moves into the first house, there's this courage. There's this. You know what? I need to do this. I can do this. I am doing this. So I think that while the opposition could feel very confronting and challenging, it's giving me redemption vibes. And what's that Tao card where their judgment, it's like that for me? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Thank you.
Alex Amorosi
Well, thank you guys for bringing me all the feels. So I appreciate it. No, you know this, this is not, not, not to be too dark. And I know we've talked a lot about Stephen King with with Mars in Cancer, because he has Mars in Cancer very prominently. But this transit feels a little bit like one of my favorite, one of my favorite stories, which is it, even though I'm terrified of clowns, I'm petrified of them. But there's, there's that feeling of what other things I found really, I find really beautiful about that book, because I think it is a real description of childhood trauma and things that have happened to us that just robs us of our innocence, and the clown being so many symbols of that is that the people in the town don't know what's going on. They don't see what's going on. There's always that talk about how no one really did much or saw much that was happening. And I feel like that's very what you were saying, Dana, about a feeling of futility of Mars in the 12th of like, I know there was an action, I know there was something that happened here, but it wasn't acknowledged, or it was hidden, or it was conjunct. Fused in some way. There was like some kind of mirror Mirage put up. And I feel like the opposition to Pluto in the sixth is you may see truly what happened, and it's may not not be pretty, but there's a sense at least of that acceptance of it's like when you know something but you're being told something else. There's some kind of intentional, unintentional gaslighting Your body knows that you feel that in congruence. And then when you hear the truth, even if it's a confronting truth or a challenging truth, there's like a there's suddenly a feeling of like your body just goes yes that. And so I feel like we are as Leo rising is really well set up to if we need to confront those ideas. Or see, you know, see the clown for what it is, or those sorts of things, we're well set up for it, because when Mars moves into Leo, there's a real life you're gonna
Adam Elenbaas
go kill the clown. Him up.
Alex Amorosi
Get our torches. That store, right? We get the MO fo, yeah, exactly, especially with the sun in Scorpio and mutual reception. Ain't that clown, watch out the way. So, yeah. I mean, you know, I think it's a little dark, but, but I think ultimately healing, and the ultimately healing, I
Adam Elenbaas
really like the idea of things that have been kept from your view, or complete conscious, clear understanding coming to the surface through this because that subterranean place is invisible. It's deep, it's dark, with Scorpio Mars in the 12th hitting Pluto and then moving into the visible space of the first just feels like a very empowering understanding of something that maybe has not been clear, has been hidden, maybe has some history or ancestral shadow work at play. It feels completely spot on. And I love the connection to it, because that's a it's a like the clown and the the clown that terrorizes the child in the sewer, like, what an archetype he's so good at writing these archetypal images, especially around youth, the loss of innocence, things that should be safe but aren't. He's just brilliant at that very margin. Cancer. We've talked about that before, but Okay, let's move on to Virgo. And with the sign of virgo, we're going to hand this over to Dana and I will draw
Dana Solana
okie dokie. So Virgo risings Pluto has obviously been in your fifth house for quite some time, transforming, confronting you around your creative process, what you make, what you offer the world, children, of course, like the children in your life, whether your parents and aunts, a godmother or whatever, there's been A lot of change, and maybe confronting or challenging moments here, since 2008 I've been thinking about like being forced to let go of the grip maybe around how your creations are perceived, because we are talking about Virgo risings here, not to stereotype, but, you know, there's a desire to be perceived in a certain way, perhaps that Pluto has force to kind of let go of a little bit with Pluto, I always think about how it kind of forces us to let go of control. You know, it's about power. So there's that Mars is in your 11th house, so bringing up discord in your groups. Perhaps I was thinking about feeling helpless or frustrated around how to navigate discord in the group. But this could also speak to where you're going, like knowing that the 11th house is the house of your hopes and your ambitions. So perhaps a feeling of aimlessness with like, what am I doing? Where am I going? And the opposition implicates your creative work, the things you make, what you want to give of yourself to the world, and how does that fit with where I'm going, and can I really do this? So I'm thinking about that with the opposition, but wondering if there's an opportunity for your creative process to really take you somewhere deep and allow that catharsis to happen. Like, maybe there's a way to work with this creatively. And I'm not just talking about like arts and crafts, although do that like That sounds awesome, but you can create in ways that aren't stereotypically art. Like writing is creating. Like anything that you take out of your inner world and into the the tangible is creating. So I think that there's real potential for healing around like allowing yourself to be seen in a new way, and like letting it just be what it is. Pluto is moving into your sixth house. So this is going to be bringing to the surface what you need to address, maybe regarding your health, it's time to do hard things. You know, when Pluto is in the sixth house. But these are also things that, like we were saying a moment ago about the sixth house, kind of allow you to open up to the beauty of life. I don't want this to sound like toxically positive or on. Optimistic or something. But like, I feel like sixth house experiences allow you to realize that suffering is optional. Like, there are hard times in life, and there's no escaping the difficulty of those things. And I don't want to minimize that, but the way that you approach these hard times can make all the difference. And like, that's what a spiritual practice is, right? I think that's the opportunity with Pluto in the sixth house. Is there's gosh, like a strength maybe, in doing hard things. And yeah, they're going to be presented to you, but maybe you can learn a new way of working with them.
Alex Amorosi
I love that. There's, you know, that Pluto in the sixth house. I've been thinking a lot about that lately, just having gone through Pluto in the sixth house for what feels like five or 600 years, there's a there's a feeling of like an Alice in Wonderland, kind of transit. And you know, in the sense of you go on this unanticipated journey, and you go down to a place in the underworld where you things don't often make a lot of sense intellectually. I think this is hard. This can be harder for Mercury ruled signs, because there's usually a sense of wanting some kind of logical, analytical capability to suss things out. Pluto moving through the sixth house. I know this is an Air sign, so it might be a little bit different, but there's a feeling where you have to really rely on the primal senses and your your base intuition and the having someone help you interpret those feelings and images that don't always make sense. Like, you know, when Alice is encountering so many things that don't make sense. They're odd or out of place in some way. They have some relationships with the upper world, but they're kind of skewed in some way. And a lot of underworld stories have that feeling. And I think the sixth house, to me, is like that unanticipated Alice in Wonderland, journey that you may not have anticipated that you were going to take, but it ultimately can, if you, like, you said, suffering is optional. If you can work with it and be curious through the process, you wind up in some pretty incredible places too. I'm not going to sugarcoat and say it's all easy, but I will say that I know from experience like, if you really just get curious and you are tenacious, those six hosts that the six house transit can bring you to some pretty remarkable places too.
Adam Elenbaas
You know, I can't help but think about my, my, you know, my about to be nine year old daughter who is gonna have Pluto. She's a Virgo rising, so she'll have Pluto moving into her sixth. And I have watched under the last two ingresses where it's like little clues as to what kind of great work is going to occupy the next 20 years of her life, I have seen like emerging Under each transit she has gotten completely enamored by something that she wants to get really good at. This is part of the sixth house, too, the joy of Mars, a Dharma house, a house that's connected to everything that you have to labor in order to perfect. You know, it's like, kind of like an apprenticeship. It's, it's like, uh, chopping wood and carrying water is so much of what we all do to get good at anything we do, whether it's teaching like Dana, or if it's yoga teaching like Alex has done, or if it's, you know, doing astrology readings, which we've all done like, you have to do a lot of it. You have to read a lot, you have to study a lot, you have to look at a lot of charts. And the sixth house Pluto, I think, for a number of Virgos, is going to be about things that start things that capture your imagination and that you feel like are you're going to start learning, studying, practicing, developing, but it requires a lot of hard work, and you won't see, you know, the sixth house you don't often see a lot of profit or benefit from. But I'm thinking about my nine year old and thinking, whatever events are happening this month with the Pluto Mars opposition. What will that do for like, in my case, like a little girl, you know, for example, this is something I can't help but think about what, what impressions does she have as a nine year old, really, about her first, like, conscious presidential election? What is she going to see unfold in the collective? How will that impact her little developing sense of dharma and what she's here to build, and what work she's here to do in the world. And because, even though you're nine years old, this is a 20 year long transit, she'll be near her Saturn Return, you know, by the time it finishes up, and probably coming into her adult you know, work and it will have been something that she's been building the whole time. Pluto. Will have been in Aquarius in her sixth house. Or, let's just say that there's, oh, here's an example. I've been telling everybody this. This transit will coincide with my dad having a knee replacement surgery. I've mentioned this a few times in recent videos. Well, like, let's just say that I don't know. Let's say the surgery is successful and Virginia sees grandpa and hears all about the surgery. 20 years later, she's finishing med school. You wouldn't think those events are connected, and they don't have to be connected in some literal sense, where she goes, Aha, I want to be a surgeon, but the events can be thematically connected in ways that are really subtle and and you may even forget, oh, gosh, yeah, when that started, you know, there was a surgery, and she was really enamored by it. She talked to grandpa all evening when we visited him about how his knee was replaced and all this stuff, or what if he died during the surgery? I mean, God forbid, but what if he died? And what if we said, you know, there was this danger in the surgery, what if she became enamored with medicine for that reason? And I'm not saying I have no idea what's going to happen. I think it'll be fine. But the point is that you just don't know what little events can set in motion a long process like a magnum opus that begins now with some feeling of there are things that I want to throw myself into, some great work that I want to start building or working toward. And
Alex Amorosi
I think that's perfectly said Adam about, like, how, with Pluto, especially in the underworld, like they're not sequentially related, you wouldn't see it as some kind of sequence that would necessarily be related, but it's some little touchstone that even in her subconscious, she might not know that would affect her even way down the line. You know, it's amazing. She'll be almost 30 when Pluto leaves. Yeah, exactly, yeah. It's crazy.
Dana Solana
Wow. I loved that take on the sixth house too. Adam, like, as somebody with a lot of planets there, it's hard to not even as an astrologer, it's hard to not like, you know, pigeonhole that place. So thank you for that. Thank you for that.
Adam Elenbaas
I'm doing a talk in December on the sixth house. And I'm talking about the difference between slavery and sacrifice as a core theme of the sixth house. That is often it's it's really about the planets in the sixth and the ruler of the sixth, and what testimonies are being provided to the ruler of the sixth, or planets in the sixth that often determines whether we experience the sixth in terms of lots of adversity, or if it translates more into one of those charts where you see someone who has like their life is like a workshop of some kind. And it's amazing how you could actually delineate along the lines of what planets are there, where the rulers are, the testimonies that it but it's not really appropriate to think about the six purely in terms of like slavery and sickness. And it really has to do with what the tone of adversity looks like in our lives. For some people, the tone of adversity is, you know, a part of their very being, like a, like a, you know, like a bodybuilder or a competitive skier or something. And that's why it's a Mars house, you know? So, yeah, just those differences, though, are especially when you study Hellenistic and you see how bleak the text can get around the sixth it certainly helps. Yeah. Well, okay, let's move forward to Libra and we will hand it over to Alex again. Alright?
Alex Amorosi
Uh, Libras, well, Dana, here we go, yay. Let's see what's going on. Let's, let's check it out. Um, so I could see maybe something a little similar to cancer risings, but I think that, um, let me start here. You know Pluto from in the fourth house, opposing Mars in the 10th I could see very much like your opposing sign of Aries, there being some push and pull between public and private spheres of life, some sense of the you know, Mars in Cancer being a sort of like, what is, what is the role I want to have in the world? Am I? Am I balanced enough in how I am providing, for caring, for nurturing, giving to others, and am I balanced between the individuals? Very similar, I think, to cancer rising, except I think this is more about like is, is what you're doing in the world, whether it's your job or how you're known, though it may be comfortable, is it something that is allowing you some personal, individual satisfaction, that is allowing you to say for the affirmation that allow you to say, like, you know, I love doing this. I love being a teacher for random example. But then I also love to go for a walk or go to the gym or go to kickbox and do something for me, just thinking kickboxing because of Mars, um, but there's also, it feels like, you know, it was Pluto in the fourth house, the sort of the coda. I. Uh, of a long period of the transformation of your internal, private space, like where, where you land at the end of the day, I Adam, I always like how you talk about the fourth house in that idea, right, where you land, how that space is, what that space is like, some significant transformation going on in that and I think as Pluto moves out of the fourth house there, strikes me like a, some somewhat of a, alright. Well, this is the space I'm in now. This is the space that I'm working with this. This is how things are. It may have been challenging. There may have been some turnover. There may have been some like, you know, cogs that got, you know, stuck in the wheel. But eventually there's this sort of like, as Pluto moves on, it's like, this is a transformed inner, private space in which I didn't expect it to look like this, but now it does, and I'm okay with those. Those are my general thoughts on Libra rise Ooh,
Dana Solana
that was good, Alex. That really got me God, you know, I really I'm sorry Libra risings, because I feel like I can't help but project like I'll do my best not to but I'm pretty sure that all of us have had a crazy reckoning with home and family since 2008 maybe you've moved a lot. Maybe you've seen some shit with your family that you did not know was there and you were maybe a little bit surprised, like I found out I had relatives through DNA testing when Venus was retrograding Capricorn a couple of years ago. That was pretty crazy. Needless to say, like a transformation of your family is a very deep transformation of you, because you understand yourself through the lens of your family first and foremost. So it's been very personal, even though it's not the first house, and I think with Pluto moving into the fifth I've been thinking a lot about, like with Libras, similar to, kind of similar to what I said with Virgos, like there's a there's a need to make it perfect, or to make it just so before you let the world see it. And I think Pluto is not going to allow us to be so precious with our work anymore, and with what we're trying to create and build and give do it, like, stop it, like, let's just express ourselves. And especially with that trine to the first, I think there's a lot of potential for, like, really freeing ourselves up and thinking about Mars in the 10th too. I kept thinking with this opposition, and I guess specifically with Mars about grief, like knowing where the anaretic degrees here something is ending, like you're realizing that something has run its course, maybe in regards to your career. But real change is scary and it requires courage, so I like the idea of maybe Mars moving into Leo, for all of us being like that courage that you need to really let go and, like, cut the thing that Mars wants to cut for Libras, maybe it's something about who you are in the world.
Adam Elenbaas
Nice. I was recently studying some of the, again, the meanings of the houses in Indian astrology, especially as they're connected through the trines and the fifth house. One of the things that I thought was really interesting was that it was associated with the good karma that you have from past lives that will come somehow come to bless you in this life and provide you with happiness like that's an interesting I mean, in ancient Hellenistic astrology, the fifth house is called The Joy of Venus and the house of good fortune. Good fortune is not so different from good karma in the way that fortune and karma are understood as philosophical concepts. I just wonder if Librans are about to have some very life changing good fortune in the next, say, year. The reason that I wonder about that is that Pluto's name literally means riches. It's entering the fifth house of good fortune, which, both in the east and the west, ancient astrology says has something to do with things that come to you as a matter of fate, that are fortunate. So I'm sure that Libras will love to hear that. But then when I pair that alongside of this very cathartic Mars Pluto moment, I also just feel like I want to tell Librans whatever drama presents itself imminently in your life, your family, your work, just know that this is initiating what could be a development of very good fortune. There may be a very significant silver lining behind the sequence of events that's coming. I know that's a kind of weird way of looking at it, but I just can't help but think about some of the things I've been reading about lately, and how fifth house transits often coincide with like, the sort of good fortune that that we have, not surprisingly, like just as an example, did you know that there is a very common way in which people, when they have South Node transits through the fifth house, will often feel like some of the things that they're used to being really good. And like effortless will feel a little bit more difficult,
Alex Amorosi
because the south just had that once the south node was in sag. Literally, that's so funny. Yeah, there can
Adam Elenbaas
just be a way in which it's like, this is usually not this difficult, like just different aspects of life. And then when the South Node leaves, it gets a little bit easier. And that's because in ancient astrology, in Hellenistic astrology, the south node was said to curb or diminish the anything benefic it kind of lessened it so in the house of good fortune. And it makes sense, right? But anyway, I think the point here is that Librans have a lot to look forward to. Because the other thing I wanted to add to this, the reason I said that, is that, isn't it, isn't it interesting that in a couple of years, not only will Pluto be in that house, you'll have Uranus in the ninth trining it, and you'll also have, you will have eclipses north node eclipses in the fifth. I just feel like Librans aren't that far away from some really interesting like beneficial changes that are part of your good karma in this lifetime. And we all have periods like that, and I think I'm starting to think about them a lot more as fifth house periods. Cool. Dana, yeah, I'm here. You get a car and you get a car. All right, so let's move on to Scorpio. And here we have the Mars Pluto opposition, opposite Tauruses across the third and the ninth. Now the ninth and the third this along with Pluto moving into Aquarius in the fourth house. You know what's interesting is that if I had to, if I had to utilize a Tao card for Pluto's movement into the fourth I would pick the judgment card, same card you were reflecting on earlier. There is something about rising from the dead that comes to my mind. Pluto entering the fourth house is I've been listening to this podcast called The Emerald that I'm absolutely in love with. I really, really like it, and I highly recommend it for people who like my channel. I feel like I'm cut from the same kind of spiritual cloth as the gentleman who writes and produces that podcast, and I really appreciate what he has to say about animism, and he was talking about guardianship in a recent episode that had to do with, um, you know, just developing a relationship with animate powers, the directions, the spirit of the river, just being, you know, it's very, it's a very prime, archaic and sort of primal consciousness to be in touch with animate powers, the genie of your house, you know that kind of thing? Pluto entering the fourth for Scorpios, I think is going to be about putting you in touch with animate powers that like are living like in your home, from your ancestral spirits. I think it has this kind of way of lifting things that you might think to be dead, and presenting them as very much alive. And also for Scorpios. And not that I think Scorpios ever really need a wake up call. It's like one of the last signs I would ever think of as needing a wake up call. But Pluto into your fourth can be a wake up call in terms of just, I mean, if there's one thing that Scorpios often don't see, it's the bigger objective picture, because of how deeply and emotionally entangled they get with things. And that's a good I think, generally that's a good thing for Scorpios, is it's what allows life to be so present and like alive and intense in a good way. But this is kind of like a it puts Scorpios in touch with some kind of huge matrix of being that is there that may be kind of rising up from the dead or rising up into your consciousness. So that's one thing that comes to my mind, that this kind of trigger of Mars, Pluto shifts something paradigmatically that then stirs something to life in a very like rooted, like root level way for Scorpios, the other thing I would think about would, frankly, just be major shifts with respect to family, karma, your home, your living environment, that when Pluto enters the base of your chart, the foundations of your life are going to tremble and shake and Quake. And you know, there may be quakes. There may be, I was talking about the karmic fault lines in a video that published, published today. There may be slippage of plates moving around. I think about those kind of images for Scorpios right now, with Pluto about to enter the fourth i
Alex Amorosi
Oh, it's the Libra Moon fighting the Libra rising so we're polite. No, no, you know. You know. You know. You know you you know. I love that, and I think that Scorpios. Scorpio is such an interesting sign, because, you know, as it represents. Uh, the middle of autumn in the in the northern hemisphere, Zodiac light cycle, we can become really obsessed with this idea of Scorpio and death and everything about debt, being dead and dying. But, you know, so yay, you know, like, but I think, like, the classic image from the 90s, you know, we were growing up at about, like, the goth, you know, the goth, like, there had that, that sort of feel. But I actually think that it deep, deep, deep down. Scorpios are very invested in the preservation of life, and that they're really carrying that last little tiny ember of light down towards the winter solstice at, you know, Capricorn and that Pluto also has this quality, I think of I really like this idea of kind of of lighting up or re energizing, that commitment as it moves into the fourth house, that commitment to that little grain of light, that little tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny spark that, like, you know, never really goes away and can be hidden and then can be reanimated in some way or reshaped in some way, or the bellows can be put on it, and it becomes bigger. And there's a sense where the base of your life, though, like it may tremble and Quake a little bit. There may be some kind of re energizing period that begins here for you, that reinvests you back in your life force. Yeah,
Adam Elenbaas
it's like the picture. Sorry, before I interrupt, just for a second, Dana, the image of the judgment card that calls dead things to life and that rises some kind of primordial spirit back to life at the foundations. But the foundations may need to move around to accommodate it. Maybe that's a way of putting it. Love that.
Dana Solana
Well, that was brilliant with Mars in the ninth and just thinking about Mars and cancer, sort of feeling a little aimless or stuck or frustrated, I was thinking about nihilism and feeling a little point like there's a potential for feeling like things are pointless, or like, what's the point? Especially like, as this opposition starts to perfect it, it might be hard to care, but perhaps the opposition can. When you get to that point, that's when you can really That's a good question to ask. Like, okay, well, what? Why should I care? What do I care about? Like, the point of asking that question or getting to that place is not to stay there. It's to recognize what is really important to you. What do you really believe? What are your values? Thinking about the ninth house, and with Mars moving into the 10th there's courage to like, embody what you do really value and believe in, certainly Pluto in the fourth you guys were reminding me of I talked about this a while ago, like on Instagram, but there's this. There's this literary critic who talks about American literature as epitomizing, regeneration through violence, and that phrasing just felt so Plutonian to me, and not that it has to be physically violent, but that there is a change like that tectonic plate, that description that you guys were speaking to, really seeing your family in different ways, and not changing the way you see yourself and how you fit in and the people you come from, and kind of uncovering some things about them and about who they are, and therefore who you are, that at this point especially, might change your basic operating Principles. Yeah. Love it
Adam Elenbaas
nice. Let's go on to Sagittarius. And that's what I was saying earlier, by the way, when I said we can either beat each other up and learn from the the process of trauma and healing from trauma, or we can try to make it smoother. Because it's like, that is such a like. I just thinking about how that critic described American literature. I mean, I just, I think that's a bit of, maybe that's the revolution of Pluto and Aquarius too. Is like, Hey guys, there's a different way, other than bloodshed and trauma, to grow, you know.
Dana Solana
Yeah. Fingers crossed,
Adam Elenbaas
yeah. Well, Sagittarius, let's hand this over to you. Dana,
Dana Solana
okie dokie, Pluto's been in your second house, guys, of talents, resources, and surely, there's been lots of transformation there around what you have at your disposable, at your disposal, whether that's your money, your talents, your sense of self worth, what you literally have, as well as your idea of what you have to give, I would imagine have changed quite a bit since 2008 Mars is in your eighth house. This could have you feeling kind of stuck or frustrated in the agreements you're a part of, feeling like you're not getting what you need, maybe, or what was agreed to is not what's being given. Frustration around wanting more. Or wanting to make changes, or somehow, yeah, negotiate or renegotiate the terms of something. And this opposition to me suggests of a moment of reckoning, a moment where you know you maybe have to speak up and say, like, No, this, here's what needs to happen, and maybe you're waiting for someone to give it to you, and you're realizing, no, I actually have to be I'm a part of this, and that means I have to speak up. I have to, yeah, I have to do my part here. And I think with Mars, then moving into the ninth like it this moment maybe gives you an opportunity to, yeah, think about your values in in relation to the agreements that you're a part of a courageousness to explore new paradigms and perspectives that can help you get to where you want to go, and maybe serve any kind of ambition that's coming to the surface. So I think that when Mars is in Leo, this is going to be a really good time to explore those foundational beliefs. You know, Pluto is going to be moving into your third house, so your village is changing somehow, whether that's the people you interact with on a daily basis, your siblings, your commute, the way you communicate, there's something about the way that you live your life on like a small scale that's going to be transformed by this. I was also thinking about the third house as the joy of the moon. And, you know, the the way that you feel may be comfortable, or like, what is comfortable kind of being outgrown in some way. And I think overall, this is like a moment of being invited to be more mindful and intentional about your daily life and maybe aligning with your values in a more clear way.
Alex Amorosi
I love that Dana, I was, you know, I've been thinking a lot about the Aquarius third house. This weekend, we were down in New York City visiting friends and just hanging out and seeing shows and stuff. And we stayed in Queens, so we had to take the subway, the E train from Queens into Manhattan and back, which was, which was really interesting, because you've you see an Aquarian third house on the subway in New York City. It's like every bit of humanity surrounding you. Every kind of person, someone gets on the train in a baby Yoda costume, like, nobody notices. No one sees. No one even no one even cares. Everybody's just kind of doing their thing. And like all of these, you know, really interesting, eclectic people around it was also Comic Con in New York City this weekend, so it was, like, a lot of costumes and interesting stuff, and everybody's just kind of like, Yeah, this is kind of just what's happening on the subway in New York City. There's a very there's a very eclectic mix. And so I feel like, with Pluto moving into the third house, there's a there's a sense where you you want to notice, like, on your own sort of subway car, like, Yeah, well, what's going on that's just kind of eclectic, fun and interesting, but like, where's something, where it's just, like, that's out of place, or that doesn't seem quite right, or like, you know, this, like I was saying before doing the introduction, about, like, a corrupted data bit like this stands out within this, even for like, this kind of eclectic Aquarian environment, like that needs to be addressed or retooled or turned over in some way. So I think it's a really interesting transit, really long term process oriented transit for Sagittarius, risings of you know, doing what sad just do best, which is explore, but you know, looking at not, not letting your optimism and hope override your like sense of like this. These things are not like the others. There's something here that doesn't quite make sense and not maybe in a way that needs to be addressed, or you just enjoy really eclectic, really fun, interesting surroundings for the next 20 years. It could be that too, but it was just thinking a lot about that this weekend.
Adam Elenbaas
Interesting. One of the things that comes to my mind here is about conflicts over values or resources across the second and the eighth, moments of accumulated debts, karmically or financially, and moments of transformation that have to do with addressing them and then Pluto into the third for me, speaks to the I think there's something about always about the environment, mentally and emotionally, but also physically around us, as well as something like the culture of Our lives going through a change. Pluto in Aquarius strikes me as a good opportunity for study or learning. I'm sure some sadges will start some kind of they'll start studying something. And then I wouldn't be surprised if the environment around you becomes much mentally or philosophical, like mentally or. Uh, intellectually, like more philosophical, more political or ideological, if there isn't an ongoing need to learn or change the way you think or understand the world, or maybe, like, relocate yourself somehow in a different a different mental or cultural environment. So those are some of the things that come to my mind. Well, on that note, Let us shift into Capricorn, and we'll hand back over to Alex, and I will highlight for you. Here we go. I
Alex Amorosi
love getting Capricorn rising, because this is where we bring up Frodo all the time. Yes, it's going to put that out there. That's the only mention I have. And here we go. All right, so Capricorns, I want you to just just be relieved. That's my big thing for Capricorns, is, is Pluto is going to move out of your first house. Pluto's been in your first house for 16 years. I think that this is this. It will take some time and reflection to look back on these 16 years to see how much you have changed, whether that's physically, emotionally, psychologically, your identity, probably all of that mixed together at different times. So as Pluto moves out of this space and off of 29 Capricorn and it has this extremely cathartic revelation with Mars in your seventh house, this, to me, really speaks about who am I as my own, and we use the word you don't really love sovereign self, your own. Sovereign self, sovereign self. And you know, how are you? How are you in relationship, and what, what has been needling in you and your relationships, or your relationship style, or the way you are in relationship, or the way you you you have been in, whether you're in one or you're you're dating, or, you know, whatever that your relationship status is what has been needling you, what has felt like this hasn't quite allowed me to get to the base truth of who I am. And there's some kind of revelatory process that happens here, maybe quite dramatically, that allows you to put one final period on the sentence of this transformation in your sense of self and be like, You know what this is who I am, and some people like it. Some people don't. This has worked for some relationships. It hasn't worked for some relationships. It's irritated some people. Some people love it. So I'm going to go with my people. I'm going to go with the people who adore me for who I am, and, you know, who can who want to be with me for exactly who I am, where I don't have to feel in any way that I'm I'm compromising some kind of something. I need to feel emotionally safe or secure or stable within the relationship from the outside, but I feel stable inside of myself. And then that locates the maybe a correction in a relationship, or a shift in a relationship, or it helps you find relationships that are more really about who you are, who you feel yourself to be?
Dana Solana
Yeah, I think the cap risings, I know, like spot on, and it's probably so obvious how Pluto has been working in your first house like, I doubt you're going to need to spend a ton of time and reflection to connect those dots. But there is something so empowering about Pluto despite how chaotic and and terrifying, frankly, it can be, there's something so empowering about it shows you what you're capable of. And I think about this final opposition as very empowering in a sense, though provoking, of course, though potentially like nuclear in a way like there could be a break in our relationship. There doesn't have to be, but I think it has the potential to allow cap risings to like, to embody and integrate that power that maybe Pluto has has given them. I yeah,
Adam Elenbaas
I'm thinking about, Yeah, same thing we were looking at with cancer rising where there can be something happening in the life of someone close to you that is also of great significance for you personally. And what to speak of, obviously, the potential for conflicts or catharsis in relationships that are personal, a catharsis for someone you are close to or even a family member with Mars and cancer in the seventh could could come up. Also, I think the questions about boundaries in relationships come to mind. One thing that is interesting with Pluto heading into the second is the idea that you're about to go through a shift with respect to things like money and finances, and you're you. Your values in connection to what you possess, what you have, what you own, how you earn, how you use what you earn, interestingly as one of the arta houses, the houses associated with work vocation and things like success and wealth and power in the world, which are temptations for all of us, even if we are people who say, Well, I'm not in it for power, but it is a temptation, you know, like anytime you hit a little bit of success, start feeling yourself. Those are challenges that come with Pluto entering the second too. How can I be wealthier? Well, how can I be wealthier in a way that is also in line with my values? You know that questions like that can come up. In Indian astrology, there is an association with anyone or anything that has acted as a bolster for your material health and nourishment, like your family is associated with the second house insofar as they've acted as people who have fed and clothed you. And so another thing that's interesting is that Indian astrologers will take certain transits to the second house to potentially be about things or people that you rely on, and that can include family. I love that in ancient astrology in the east and the west, there is never just one house that covers one topic. There are usually multiple houses that will bring up the topic in a different context. How we rely on family members for the sake of support is different from maybe the fourth house version of family in some way. But anyway, the point is just that there could be some significant moments of change with respect to who you rely on and what kinds of support you have, and that could extend, really, into any area of your life, including even family members and how they need support or how they give support. And so just kind of keep an open mind about what that might look like is, I guess what I'm getting at all right. Well, for the sake of time, we're going to move right along to Aquarius. I have to get going pretty soon. I'm almost out of time, so let's take a look at this, and we'll go a little bit. We won't go too quickly. We won't, don't worry. I think, for Aquarians, when I think about the first house and this transformation, I'm thinking, yeah, there is a kind of catharsis here that is a trigger point for another ingress of Pluto into your first house, which is about the very deep level at which your very sense of identity and purpose is transforming, coming into a greater degree of personal power is a real possibility. With Pluto entering the first house, coming into a period of crisis personally, of transformation of your health or body, of a long, slow process of identifying who you are and who you are not, but it's, it's always very existential in the first house, and Pluto lends some of those deeper explorations of power and identity, of powerlessness and what real power means for the life of the soul. You know, it's a spiritual sense of what empowers me. So I think Aquarians, Aquarius risings, are heading in that direction. And I often notice that Pluto in the first house will be very empowering for people, but you almost right away you have to start going like, like, not feeling yourself, and being like, yeah, I deserve this. You know, like, oh, it's better to be thankful for whatever you receive. If you find something really empowering happening as Pluto is entering your first house without kind of taking that egotistical credit for it, that might start you on a bit of a downward spiral, because Pluto's subtle, like that Pluto moves in some ways invisibly, and that the visible part you see is like a gold coin, but the invisible part is the string connect, connected to Hades, you Know. So you just have to be just aware of, you know, Pluto wants us to, I think, develop a healthy relationship with power. So what does that look like? So that's, that's where I'm going to leave
Alex Amorosi
it there, you know, I just feel like, with Pluto going down into the first house, one of the things I noticed with Aquarius, is people with strong Aquarius in the chart is they're always looking for interrelationships that they'll ask questions about, like, well, all right, that's there. But, like, how does that fit with this? But this goes to this, and how does this all fit together in this grand sort of scheme? Like, I think of, if you guys saw the Queen's Gambit, where the woman, she would watch the chess pieces being put together on the ceiling in her mind, right? There was that really great animation. That's a very Aquarian type of idea. It's very cerebral, right? I'm putting together this. This together in my mind, as Pluto goes down into your first house, there's going to be a wonderful way that you can start to rely more on your just kind of gut sense, your gut primal into. Of knowing, and that can be a really interesting space for Aquarius risings to explore.
Dana Solana
Yeah, I'm thinking about the Aquarius rising people that I know, and how Pluto in the 12th has been quite provoking, not surprising, but really forcing you to get yourself right, you know, like getting your inner world organized and attending to the blind spots because they've been here, they are, what are you going to do right? And so I really love what you said, Adam, about like, personal power, and this being an opportunity to embody the lessons of the 12th house in a very empowering way. Because, you know, it's not there Can we can get something out of hard times. And I think that this is maybe an opportunity for Aquarius risings, this opposition between Mars and Pluto challenging, yes, and but also maybe like helping you understand how your hard work can really help you, and how it has helped you, not just with Mars in Cancer, but with everything you've endured with Pluto in the 12th house, really bringing those lessons into your conscious awareness. Yeah, yeah.
Adam Elenbaas
Let's move on to our final sign, which is Pisces. You will be first next time. Pisces, not last. Dana, what do you think about this one? And we'll, I'll cue it up for you. Here you go.
Dana Solana
Here we go. Pisces, so Pluto has been in your 11th house of groups, hopes and dreams, really, I thought about this like transforming the vision for your life and the the affiliations that you have and you're a part of. Could see the last you know, 16 years or so, is having been transformational in the causes you dedicate yourself to, maybe facing fears or confronting power struggles within the groups you're a part of, really learning lessons about the power of collective the collective voice and advocacy. And really, I could see that having been a big part of Pluto and Capricorn for you right now, Mars is in your fifth house, and this could be creating some kind of frustration or stuckness around your self expression, maybe feeling creatively impotent. Or, you know, we could even take it to light challenges with conception. This could be like a, you know, more textbook kind of read, but could be about children. Could be arguments about children, or just generally, feeling like there's not a lot of energy around that right now the opposition, it brings up feelings like it'll never work, or I should just give up. Thinking about Pluto in the 11th house of hopes and dreams and maybe the fifth house, like something you're trying to bring out into the world. There's a feeling of hopelessness, maybe. And I want to say that's not the end of the story, because Mars then moves into your sixth house, and maybe you understand the ways in which, if I put in the work in this way, maybe there's a different way, or maybe there's a different approach. And if I really stick to it, and if I really like eight of pentacles, chip away and just keep doing the chipping like I can get there. And so then Pluto moves into your 12th house, and we're composting the blind spots. We're getting deep into all the things that are at play and at work in your inner world that you maybe weren't aware of. So while you know the 12th house is probably not the most fun house. It's not the house that we maybe look forward to having a Pluto transit in. It is a very productive and useful transit, I think, because it shows you the ways that you get in your own way, and it allows you to kind of free yourself from those things, if you like, meet it meet those challenges with openness.
Alex Amorosi
Yeah, yeah. I agree with that. Dan, I think Pluto moving into the 12th house with Neptune eventually, you know, next year, starting to move out of your first house. Sad is, all of this is completing some work that Saturn began in 2023 when it entered your first house, which is what's real and what's not, what's what's actually. One thing that being difficult for Pisces sometimes is like, what's my imagination? What's what's real, what actually happened, what didn't? Who am I and who am I not? And I think that these are very clarifying, somewhat seismic transits. And, you know, Mars opposing Pluto from the fifth house to the to 11th house, that sort of cathartic transformation of like, this is my, this is my, my own expression of joy and pleasure and creativity. This is what I want. This is what works for me. I mean, just frankly, too it could be just great makeup sex. I'm just going to say that I think across that axis that just needs to be said. That's a possibility. What
Adam Elenbaas
comes to my mind here with Pluto entering the 12th is this is one of the Moksha houses, and there's a way in which the failures and losses and unconscious blind spots they if we have any kind of self reflection about them, there is such liberation, which is the meaning of the word moksha, that comes into our lives. And you know, I'm just thinking about how if there's any Pluto ingress that I had to pick that probably wouldn't make a huge splash right away, it would probably be Pluto entering the 12th. And the reason I say that is because there might be some events that come up that give you an initial sense of release, or liberation from something stuck, or, you know, it's weird that a house associated with imprisonment is also the house that's associated with liberation. Think about that, right? It's like, how many people, and I know this because I did some training to teach meditation in a prison, and then they canceled the program before I got to actually do it. But I did some training, and one of the things that was really interesting in the training process I went through was that the one of the things that a lot of people brought up as to why spiritual and religious programs are so successful in prisons is that when someone is imprisoned and they there's nowhere else to Go, there's this complete and total surrender that is part and parcel of that for a large number of imprisoned individuals and are incarcerated or whatever the correct word is. So there's obviously lots of issues with the prison system. I'm certainly not trying to say that. Guess what? Your secret redemption is prison. I'm not at all trying to say that. I'm just trying to say that sometimes when people are in an imprisoned state, even if it's metaphorical, they find themselves much more open to the idea of surrender. And I wonder if this the silver lining of Pluto entering the 12th isn't that look, you know life's gonna go on being life, but there may be just a little bit more openness to that quality of surrender that instantly can transmute so many difficult things into blessings. It's like, you know, when I think about when I started attending Al Anon and how, how much of a difference that's made in accepting things that I cannot change about my family and addiction patterns in the extended family and my wife's family and stuff like that. And it is the willingness to surrender comes with the prison of what you're living in, and you can't change. You can't get out of it. In a sense,
Alex Amorosi
the three Steves man, they really liberate you. Yeah,
Adam Elenbaas
yeah. So Pisces, we I would say that also one thing that you know, the 12th house is associated with seclusion and privacy, and you know, Pluto and Aquarius, I can almost see Pisceans developing a little study in your house somewhere for meditation, for reading astrology texts and for diving deeply into some other worldly material that there's like a little bit of, like the Hermit card emerging in your chart right now, too. All right. Well, I think we'll wrap it up there. That was a really nice journey through all 12 signs. I think we did a pretty good job, but I will leave that to all of you.
