So we've got Mars in Taurus squaring Pluto in Aquarius, and this is going to perfect if we move this forward today, Monday, May 25 through tomorrow, Tuesday, May 26 and then give it one more degree, you know, separation Wednesday.

So, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, this week we're looking at this square, and it's a very powerful square. We looked at the square in an archetypal vacuum, you could say, at the end of last week.

So, if you missed that talk, you might want to go back to get, you know, a deeper exploration of the two as they exist in an archetypal vacuum, so to speak.

Now we're looking at horoscopes today, and the way we're going to look at them is very specific. I'm going to give you this example, so that you can understand what we're doing for all of them, because everyone will follow the same template.

We're going to be looking at the Pudu Shartas, and we're going to be looking at the dominant Purdue Sharta, and a more, let's say, passive or receptive Purusharta through superior and inferior aspect positioning.

So, for example, Pluto is in the superior square over Mars. So, in this one, we're going to look at the 11th house, comma, as dominating and forcing a response from the second house Arta, and so what I'll talk about, what that means for each sign, and the same thing will be true as we rotate the wheel.

If we go to Taurus, we're going to see the 10th house, or I say the 11th house in this 1/11's house, comma, the second house Arta advance it to Taurus, and we'll have Pluto in the 10th as the dominant art to house over the Dharma house of the first.

What does that mean? So, that's what we're going to be looking at. This is a great way to keep it really simple and understand deeper spiritual, psychological themes that are at play right now in your horoscope.

So, this comes from the ancient Indian way of looking at charts as well. All right, let's start with Aries rising.

So, Pluto's in Aquarius in the 11th house, comma squaring Mars in the second. Arta comma refers to bliss or happiness, arta to material security, wealth, and resources.

In the 11th house, we're talking about social ambitions, future aspirations, or things like your evolving community connections or social networks, and these are meant to be what provide happiness, so socially defined success and happiness.

The 11th house, now with Pluto in that house squaring Mars in the second, placing a strain over the art to house, so that means that the desire for greater participation or contribution or influence socially in some realm could pressure you to rethink what truly provides you with material assets, security, or wealth.

The developments that are taking place among friends or networks or professional alliances, all 11th house topics, could force difficult financial or business-related decisions or shifts in priorities around things like money, time, energy, and resources.

So, the evolving vision of what defines social happiness or success may require a certain kind of restructuring of the material foundations of your life, and that's the basic idea between the two houses.

So, that's how we're going to do this, and we'll keep going. Now, all right, so now we move on to Taurus rising.

Pluto is in the Arta 10th house, square Mars in the first house, which is dharma, so arta again about material assets, resources, power in the world, material success, whereas dharma has to do with essential selfhood and health and vitality and identity.

So when there's transformations taking place in career or vocation or public reputation that could be placing pressure on you to make changes to your identity, your health, or your sense of personhood.

That's the idea with Pluto in the superior position. Professional ambitions, you could say, or the external expectations in the world could create strain on the body, vitality, or overall sense of purpose.

Surprise, surprise. I'm a Taurus. Look at what's happening to me. Taurus rising. I'm sick.

Anyway, changes unfolding in your career path may require courage, reinvention, and a willingness to become literally someone new. So, the pressure is coming from the career space, placing a pressure on the space of identity and health.

All right, let's move on to Gemini. For Gemini rising, we have Pluto in a dharma house that pertains to higher truth and understanding, wisdom, and Mars in the 12th house, a Moksha house that has to do with liberation from the world itself.

So developments in the realm of belief, truth, higher education, spirituality are forcing you to surrender or retreat, or there's some kind of deep psychological reckoning that's coming because of the changes in philosophy or wisdom or education or spirituality or ideology.

Intellectual or spiritual growth could require periods of isolation or sacrifice or deep unconscious processing or surrendering. You could say that the search for meaning that Pluto in the ninth house brings is requiring some kind of very deep inner work and sacrifice or relinquishment of aspects of you or your life that aren't working well.

A bit like you know learning astrology or studying yoga or something often leads us to have to make some pretty radical changes in order to become healthier or more whole, just an example.

All right, let's go on to Cancer. We put Pluto in the eighth, which is a Moksha house, squared Mars in Taurus in the 11th, which is a comma house.

We're talking about a Moksha house in the eighth that has to do with emotional transformation, loss, intimacy, debt, vulnerability, and these topics are going to be reshaping things like your social life or friendships or your social dreams and goals.

Like how you define social happiness or success is having to respond to relinquishment of attachments taking place in the Moksha house.

This means also that processes of detachment or the transformation of various karmic bonds and entanglements are leading to a reworking of social connections or social aspirations, and how you define social happiness.

All right, let's go on to Leo. So, we've got Pluto in Aquarius in the seventh, a comma house, and Mars in the 10th, an art to house.

So comma in the seventh means the bliss of interpersonal relationships, the happiness of love, sex, marriage, and again anything interpersonal. So, Mars in the 10th in Taurus speaks to a pressure to respond to the transformation taking place in the relationship realm.

Relationship dynamics could say are putting pressure on career decisions or public responsibilities or your long-term professional goals.

Now, changes that are occurring through partners or collaborators or even adversaries could force some pretty significant adjustments in your career or your work life.

The demands of others could play an important role in life decisions around your career, and interpersonal transformations are compelling. A kind of professional or public restructuring, those would all be ways of looking at it.

Prioritize Pluto in the superior position, given the comma and Arta combination. All right, let's go forward to Virgo.

So, for Virgo, Pluto is in Aquarius in the sixth house, an Arta house square Mars in Taurus in the ninth house, a Dharma house.

So there are pressures connected to things like work, health obligations, daily work, and sacrifice, and service that are forcing change within the philosophical dimension of life.

Practical realities, hardships, obstacles, work, labor, sacrifice may be challenging or transforming certain ideological, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs or viewpoints.

Your responsibilities could also be taking you back to school or reshaping something of your educational goals, or a learning process of some kind.

I'd also say that anything you're having to overcome as a matter of sacrifice, service, surrender to the work of something bigger than yourself could be tied intimately to something you really believe in.

All right, let's go forward. All right, so Libra rising, we put Pluto in Aquarius in the fifth house, and Mars in Taurus in the eighth house. So we have Dharma and Moksha in the fifth house.

The creative Dharma is about who we are, essentially as people, and how it brings happiness to us to be not just who we are, but to be creating from who we are, a creative sense of fulfillment, romantic emotional sense of fulfillment through creativity.

So creative risks or transformation of your creative nature or its self-expression in the world is communicating with Mars in the eighth house, which is a Moksha house.

So that's going to be about creativity and the connection it has to things like trust or vulnerability or loss of control. The Pluto's demand to live more authentically and creatively is compelling.

Surrender of old emotional attachments and power dynamics might be changing as a result. I apologize, guys, I'm really out of gas today.

So, Scorpio rising, Pluto in Aquarius in the fourth house. This is a Moksha house, of course. Mars in the seventh is a comma house.

So changes within the home or family, if you're Scorpio rising, the emotional foundations of your life are putting pressure on relationships or partnerships.

So there's a kind of deep inner transformation in the fourth house that may have its roots in how you grew up or the family of origin that you come from, and there's a connection there to things you're confronting or dealing with in relationships right now.

Could say that there might be domestic instability or evolving or changing family dynamics that are forcing difficult confrontations or conflicts in relationships.

But either way, excavating your emotional roots and your private side of life is tied to how you connect personally with others right now.

All right, let's go on to Sagittarius. This places Pluto in Aquarius in the third house and Mars in the sixth. That's a comma house again to an Arta house.

So, in the third house, you're really talking about the joy and happiness of your own ego nature, of your own mind and emotions, of how you communicate and express, how you excel and develop skills and abilities, how you learn and become a person who enjoys being in their own skin.

I like to put it that way, with the third house. Well, as changes are happening in that very personal psychological domain of the third house, they're forcing conversations around things like daily habits and practical responsibilities.

You think about how is your mind and your own emotional and mental environment a source of conflict, a source of struggle. What are you struggling to overcome or change about your mind, emotions, psychology?

What kind of effort or tasks are you putting your mind to right now? And what kind of work, labor, sacrifice is required for cultivating things mentally and emotionally, or changing things about yourself mentally and emotionally.

All right, moving on, we get to Capricorn rising. So this is Arta and Dharma, Pluto in the superior Arta house, superior position within the Artsa house, square Mars in Taurus in the fifth house of Dharma.

So financial realities and maybe transformation of material priorities or assets are placing a kind of pressure on creativity and self expression.

Questions about security and sustainability may be challenging the freedom that you have to pursue what you love, what you're passionate about creatively.

And it also could be that there's some restructuring around income or assets, material resources that could force some kind of redefinition of where you find happiness or what feels truly meaningful and creatively satisfying.

Material concerns in general could be demanding some kind of greater maturity around how you enjoy or spend your resources for the sake of creative fulfillment or enjoyment.

All right. Last, almost last but not least. Sorry, I'm gonna cry. I'm gonna sleep so hard after this, you guys. I'm so sick.

Aquarius rising, and I love all of you guys. Thanks for listening and bearing with me through this. I'm here, you know, it's like rain or shine. I make my content, but some days you're going to get me very rarely, but some days you're going to get me just a little jacked up.

So, Aquarius rising, Pluto in the first house, Dharma is in the superior position to Mars in the Moksha, fourth house.

Moksha has to do with release from the world, release from suffering. It's a fourth house, is a resting place, so transformation of identity, purpose, self with the dharma of the first is disrupting or changing emotional life or the resting place.

This is the process of becoming someone new that will unsettle old domestic patterns or create necessary changes in your emotional foundations.

The pressure that you might be feeling to individuate or evolve personally right now, very Pluto in the first, could create some conflict or power struggles within family relationships or living environments, and all just in general.

Pluto in your first, you're changing personally, and how is that creating the need for inner restructuring?

All right. Finally, we have Pisces. Pisces, Pluto in Aquarius in the 12th house, Moksha square Mars in Taurus, third house, comma.

We have Pluto in the Moksha house. We're talking about unconscious processes and the purging and transforming of hidden psychological material that is intimately tied to your ego, your psychology, your speech, your communication, your mind, your skills.

Looking at unconscious power dynamics and ego competitions or struggles could happen right now, conflicts with siblings, but basically that deep interchange of Pluto in the 12th is compelling greater mental and psychological awareness and bringing certain kinds of conflicts, or competition, or power struggles to the surface.

So that's how we look at those. The Moksha of the 12th is asking you to look very carefully at the happiness of being you, and what do you need to change, so that you're a happier place to live within your own psyche.

All right, guys, that's it. I'm going to be honest with you, I don't have anything on my altar today, because I'm fucked up, I'm jacked. So, I hope you're all having a great day.

Stick around. Next, I'm going to tell you about the first year program and everything that it includes. I hope to see you there soon.

Thank you all for bearing with me through a tough episode. Thankfully, all the other episodes of this week are already recorded, so you won't get sick of them for more than just today.

All right, bye.
