In the wake of the Virgo Solar Eclipse, we turn our gaze to the celestial clock, observing how the Sun's ingress into Libra immediately opposes Neptune, seeking a new vision after a moment of contraction. This week, we contemplate the Sun's subsequent trines to Pluto and Uranus in Air, a call to articulate a new paradigm of purpose, even as Mars enters its own sign of Scorpio to square Pluto—a profound invitation to individuate through necessary severing. We will unpack these major astrological aspects, not as portents of doom, but as archetypal forces guiding the soul's journey, offering a Hellenistic perspective on how to navigate this potent time with wisdom and intention.

Hey everyone. This is Adam Elenbaas from Nightlight Astrology [https://nightlightastrology.com/].
It is a huge week astrologically. We are coming off from a solar eclipse over the weekend, and the sun is immediately moving through an opposition to Neptune, trines to Pluto and Uranus, and, oh by the way, Mars is entering the sign of Scorpio and making a square to Pluto this week. So a big week. We're going to unpack all of it and take that big, 20,000-foot view to start our week.
Today, I'm going to have a few horoscopes for the fixed signs, in particular, given that Mars-Pluto square is happening in the fixed signs. So we'll take a look at that. I'll tell you what's on my altar this week, and we will break down the entire sequence again from kind of a big picture standpoint. I'll give you things to watch for and all that good stuff.
And then as the week goes on, we'll take a closer look at each of these aspects. Tomorrow, we'll spend more time with the sun. Wednesday, we'll move into the Pluto dynamic. It's all happening in the early part of the week as well, so we're going to try to pack it in here in the first couple of days. Anyway, that is our agenda for today.
Before we get into it, remember to like and subscribe, turn the notification bell on so you get updates. That really helps people know when we've got a new episode or when something new is happening on the channel. I'm going to be doing some lives later this autumn as well, so you'll get to know when those are taking place.
We're trying to get to 100,000 subscribers on the channel by next summer. It really does help us if you watch regularly, to subscribe and drop a comment, all that good stuff. NightlightAstrology.com is where you can find everything you need to know about what we're up to lately.
Few promotions for the day: the early bird rate on the upcoming retreat. It's taking place in Mexico in June of 2026. We'll close the first week of October, so you have a little bit of time left to save on our new training program taking place in Mexico in June of 2026. It's called The Oracle Within.
If you go to The Oracle Within part of the website, we have less than 30 spots available now. I think there's like 25 spots left or so. You scroll down, there's a video telling you everything you need to know about the retreat. So check that out.
The other thing is coming up this week: I am giving the first of a series of talks on planetary pairings from the ancient astrological and philosophical perspective. This involves understanding planetary pairings as the pairings of what are called the archai, or the first principles that the planets represent philosophically.
This is like a very deep series that we're going to be doing over the course of the next year, through all of the planets, and really getting to know what they are philosophically, which is the root of how all of their symbolic delineations are made. So for practitioners, like middle to advanced students, people who want to understand the combinations of planets in your own chart, this series you don't want to miss. So check that out for sure.
If you can't attend live, you'll get the recording later, like everything that we do. The other thing I want to turn you on to is our first-year course, Ancient Astrology for the Modern Mystic, begins again on November 8. We have two sections per year. This new one starts again here, coming up in just a couple of months. The early bird rate is now in effect.
At the end of today's talk, there's an informational video tagged on telling you everything you need to know about the program. I will just say this for now: if you like the content that I provide, I will tell you that what I'm actually best at, even though I love creating content on YouTube, what I'm actually best at is teaching astrology.
Especially if you want to learn about ancient astrology, the ancient, philosophical and spiritual roots of the tradition, and all of the ancient techniques that go into reading birth charts. This is really, honestly what I'm best at, and what I'm proudest of is the creation of all the curriculum in the Nightlight school. So I hope you'll check it out. Stick around afterward to learn more about it. Come study with us.
Don't forget: everything that we do at Nightlight includes flexible pricing, so we have need-based tuition for this program, which means you can pick within a sliding scale a tuition per month to pay that works within your budget. If you're experiencing any kind of financial hardship, or you're on a limited income, we want to make sure that astrology, that the coursework is of the highest quality, and also that it's accessible to anyone, regardless of their background.
Okay, on that note, let's turn our attention to the real-time clock and take a look at what's happening. Like I said, it is a very big week. It's a week in which we're coming off from a solar eclipse. So if I back this up, this is Monday, September 22 as you're watching this today, as it's being released. By back this up, just yesterday, you can see on the screen here that we had on Sunday, September 21, we had that solar—oh, the big arrows, the big circle—we had a solar eclipse at the very end of Virgo.
And that solar eclipse we're now in the wake of. To me, like the entirety of the next few lunation cycles is typically, you know, like the ripples coming off from a big stone that's been thrown into a pond. You can feel the changes that are happening. It's like, you know, high tides or whatever, the waves come in sets—different images that all come to my mind with water, I guess.
But eclipses are like big wave patterns that come through in our psyches, and they mirror the ebb and flow of those cycles of light and dark that are happening in the cosmos. The eclipses do. And so when we're coming right off from one, whatever's happening in that week following an eclipse is often of much greater significance, because it's carrying the impact of the changes symbolized by the eclipse.
So on that note, what I want to show you first is just the overview of what's happening this week. There are really three things happening in a row: today, tomorrow, and Wednesday, the 22nd through the 24th of September. It sounds, you know, it might sound on the outset like, oh, it's just three days, but these are very significant transits, so let's take a look at them.
Today, the sun has entered the sign of Libra. It's our fall equinox in the northern hemisphere. Of course, it's the opposite if you're in the southern, but either way, zodiacally speaking, the sun has entered Libra. It is immediately opposing Neptune. Now remember, at the time of the eclipse, just yesterday, the sun was opposing Saturn.
And so coming off from that opposition to Saturn, which we talked about at length last week when we did our eclipse coverage, we're now looking at the sun opposing Neptune to start this week. That opposition I will go over with you in a minute.
The next thing that's happening is after the sun opposes Neptune, tomorrow it will then go through trines to Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius. So you'll see that tomorrow, September 23, the sun trines Pluto and Uranus. This is a sequence that Mercury went through somewhat recently, that Mars went through back in August.
And it's something that's going to happen in a number of different contexts. Whenever planets are moving into the configuration with all three of the outer planets, you know, we get planets like Venus going into Leo and opposing Pluto, and then it was simultaneously hitting the trine to Neptune and the sextile to Uranus and so forth.
So because all of these outer planets—Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Saturn—have all been configured quite closely together, that means that whenever any planet goes through an aspect with one of them, say, an opposition, it's hitting all of them. That makes these little windows of time very potent.
The symbolism of these moments is very loud, especially for the planet that's going through the configuration. So in this case, it's the sun. So if you want to understand a transit like this, you start with the sun. You kind of think of it like the sun is going through a process where it's going to touch into all of these kind of heavier outer planetary archetypes. What will that do for the sun becomes the central theme of importance.
Now, as if this isn't enough, the other thing that's happening at the start of this week is Mars is entering the sign of Scorpio. So Monday, today, you got Mars having just entered Scorpio. And that means that Mars in Scorpio will be applying by the middle of this week, Wednesday, to a square with Pluto.
Now you can see that square perfecting on Wednesday, September 24, but today it's, you know, a degree off. So as soon as Mars has entered the sign of Scorpio, it's engaging with the square to Pluto, which means you're sort of in a Plutonian range of activity for the rest of the week.
This is why, even though on Wednesday the aspect will perfect, we'll probably still spend some time thinking about it, at least on Thursday. Now, the separation we give it about three degrees. That total range of separation will take us all the way into the weekend. I'd give it all the way until Saturday, September 27, that the Mars-Pluto dynamic is sort of finalizing.
So during that period of time, it becomes really important for us, from Wednesday through the end of the week, to be going through that space with a greater awareness of the aspect dynamic. That's what I hope will prepare you for mostly this week, since that is the biggest transit of the week.
I mean, it's a close, close comparison with the sun going through so much simultaneously, and the sun obviously having just been eclipsed. Maybe, I don't know, maybe it's six of one, half dozen of the other. However they say that, nonetheless, Mars-Pluto squares hit hard. So we want to give that a lot of thought, a lot of attention.
So first of all, let's just think broadly about the sun opposing Neptune. One of the things that the sun is broadly representative of is a sense of purpose and a sense of direction, or ambition, aspiration—all perfectly fitting words for the sun. The sun can also represent things like fathers or leaders or central figures of authority—all, again, really fitting for the sun.
The sun also, broadly speaking, represents the eidos or the eternal forms that are, you know, like in the mind of the universe, the perfect triangle, or, you know, the archetype of a human, or something like that. And so when the sun goes through transformations in the sky, symbolically speaking, the way that we often experience that is in terms of a shifting sense of purpose.
The purpose of the sun is connected to the archetypal realm, because any purpose that we have is being informed by an idea. An idea is an image. An idea is an image like the eidos or forms or archetypes. And so the images that we have in our minds as desirable outcomes for the course of our lives, and the way that they influence or impact us in different areas of life—we have evolving images that direct the course of life in marriage or relationships or friendships or social life or career or the greater industry professionally that we belong to.
We have direction, purpose, ambition, and a landscape of desires and intentions in all different areas of life, constantly shifting, constantly moving us along. And in this way, the sun was also talked about as the breath of life itself, moving us with a sense of direction and purpose, filling us with inspiration. The word "inspire" refers to the spirit within, and the sun was literally called spirit.
And so the first thing that I encourage everyone to think about, and we'll be exploring this in more detail tomorrow, but just for an overview today, is to think about the opening of this week, coming off from a solar eclipse that can greatly change or shift life's sense of purpose or direction, specifically in that whole sign house of Virgo where the eclipse took place yesterday.
But then as the week goes on, you could map this across the Libra-Aries axis. You could track the trines to the whole sign houses of Gemini and Aquarius, where the trines to Uranus and Pluto are taking place. You could be creative with all of these things if you wanted to.
But if all of that feels too complicated, then you can rest back and say: my sense of purpose or direction, ambition, desire, intentionality is changing or shifting in some way. How is the inspiration of my life, or some particular area of my life, being redirected, or how is some form of guidance taking shape right now?
That would be the broadest, most generally but effective way of thinking about such transformation for the sun, from an eclipse to the opposition to Neptune to the trines to Uranus and Pluto. I would anticipate that some of the specific things that could come up—and again, we're going to break this down more specifically tomorrow with the sun—could involve things like: what do I live for that gives me a sense of transcendent, imaginative, spiritual, mystical, or romantic purpose?
Neptune inspires the sun with longing for something otherworldly or ideal or romantic, and that could be something that is really refreshing right now, coming off an eclipse where that direction may go through a kind of crisis, a contractive space of dying and being reborn as the face or the light of the sun is being eclipsed, but then immediately in opposition to Neptune.
What's the new broader sense of my life's purpose? What is going—what will be the new inspiration that carries me forward after an eclipsing of light has taken place? After an eclipsing of light, where do I go now? And the immediate feeling with an opposition to Neptune might be confusion or overwhelm, a feeling of being flooded with the eclipsing experience and feeling like you're wandering through the mist or the fog.
Nonetheless, you know, it's like Gandalf says: all who wander are not lost. The trines that come through after the separation to Neptune occurs are a big, very grand air trine right to Uranus and Pluto: the feeling of new thoughts, new ideas, even new technology. I don't know how that would work in, but it's possible that new thought structures, new paradigms, new something new that you want to learn, something new that you're ready to communicate or articulate, new paradigms or thought structures, new creative inspirations, new forms of social collaboration could emerge and provide immediately some new inspiration.
So I would watch with the sun opposite Neptune, coming off from the eclipse, a feeling of overwhelm, a death, and maybe a bit of a feeling of wandering or uncertainty or cloudedness around your purpose. You know, again, so close to the eclipse opposite Saturn too, which can be a contractive, heavy space, almost mourning or letting go of something, and then emerging into the light of new possibilities.
It's also possible that sometimes a new direction takes shape in our life, and it's like a Joan of Arc moment. You know, we hear a voice—and I don't mean to be so literal about it or grandiose—but that sense of a new dream, a new vision, a calling, a mission, a crusade. As metaphors, I think those are appropriate words for an eclipse of the sun followed by an opposition to Neptune followed by trines to Uranus and Pluto.
It's as though the purpose is to redeem something that's been lost or recover a new sense of purpose or direction, or follow a yearning or longing. These things play a strong role in the opening sequence of this week coming off the eclipse. So again, we'll break some of these things down more tomorrow.
Now, the second thing that I want to talk about today is the other major aspect of the week. And in some ways, I do think this one might even be louder, and that's because anytime that Mars and Pluto get together, gosh, do they have such eruptive intensity.
So first of all, Mars is the god of action. By the way, this is shameless plug: come to these planetary pairing classes, because when you learn about the archai, which is the philosophical first principles of the planets, you learn—you're going to learn so much about how to use the planets creatively with your own artfulness, rather than, you know, memorizing lists. Anyway, as an aside.
So Mars as a first principle is about the reality of things splitting. It's the reality of severing and cutting things from wholes into parts, and that severing or cutting is sometimes experienced as hostility or conflict, and is sometimes experienced as discord or war, right? Those would be some of the shadows.
But let's give a very positive example of splitting or cutting. Splitting or cutting as a process that is considered divine in many ancient traditions has to do with the gradual individuation of the soul, the deepening of the soul's unique character and its own unique light. That for us to become fully realized in the ancient spiritual imagination of many different traditions, we have to individuate spiritually, which means we have to be—we're becoming more unique, which, by definition, means we are cutting ourselves away from different images or like shapes that have been held out for us as different templates. But we have to say no to; we have to sever or cut ourselves from.
For example, while Uranus—who is another planet that has a lot in common with Mars in terms of its propensity for cutting and separating things in the process of individuation—both Mars and Uranus are almost like—prior to the advent of the outer planets and the discovery of Uranus, in many ways the planet of rebellion and emancipation and cutting yourself away from dependencies for the sake of individuation was Mars.
Well, now we think of a lot of that as Uranus. One of my biggest Uranus transits in my life involved saying, oh, I can't be part of a particular religious group and community, which I had taken initiation in. And all of you knew me for a moment as a chela to a bhava, which was cool. You know, it was fun. But then there was this moment where it's like, no, I've got to cut myself apart from that.
So it's important that we think about Mars as a cutting or severing or separating process that can really serve and facilitate individual definition and individual growth or separation from various categories that we come to recognize are not us. They're not individually unique enough.
So anytime that Mars hits Pluto, one of the things that tends to happen is very powerful moments of individualizing catharsis take place. They can feel very empowering, but also, as we all know, many moments of individuating happen through crisis and confrontation and power struggles and having to take strong actions to define ourselves apart: I'm not you. I'm not this. I'm not that.
Both Mars and Saturn have in common the principle of negation, but they negate or say no or cut away from in different ways, different kinds of cutting. Almost not surprisingly, Mars is the ruler of squares in aspect theory. Anytime that two planets get into a square, it is as though the two planets meet and meaningfully have to sever something through the encounter of their symbolism.
That meaningful cutting or severing can feel creatively rewarding, like it's not necessarily a bad thing. I mean, think of how many times we've had to make a difficult choice or say something, and you knew someone wasn't going to like it, but you knew you had to do it, and once you did it, even though it was hard, and sure enough, the person didn't like it, you felt better for doing it, and in time, hopefully, the other person understood, hey, this is just what they had to do.
That's ideally how it happens. But we know it's not that simple. Mars-Pluto can engage us in titanic clashes of will and power. No, you do this. No, I'm going to do this. So I don't want you to do that. If you do that, I won't give you this or, you know, so the way that we try to leverage one another. I need you to be this or give me this. I need you to act this way or behave this way. Otherwise I'm cutting you out, or I'm going to judge you to be this kind of person.
These kinds of conflicts of will can become quite ideological in nature when Mars is squaring a Pluto that is in the sign of Aquarius as well, which has this very vast kind of—what do I want to call it—like, almost like a vast airy ideological quality. All of the air signs can be very mental, but Aquarius in particular tends to bring up issues that have to do with collectivity, like groups of people or cultures, institutions, and things that are large and collective and are like containers for identity categories that bring us together in much larger ways.
The downside of Aquarius, and often the dark side of Aquarius, is the way in which the vaster and bigger the qualities of these containers, the more impersonal they are, and the more they tend to actually negate individuality. And so we can get into groupthink, group mind, and we can get brainwashed by ideologies connected to groups and so forth, whether it's religions or companies or corporations or technologies or whatever.
So there's this constant thing in Aquarius taking place where there's questions about how we have to go on identifying as groups of people, and groups go through processes of individuation. Groups become more uniquely themselves. So they become more uniquely whatever they're meant to be on an evolutionary level. And then there are times when groups have to face internal schisms and splits and conflicts.
I think that this is one way of—I'm not alone in suggesting that, you know, we're seeing this kind of ideological polarization here in the United States politically right now, and in many other places in the world too. You know, it's just something that's there all the time. But then Pluto goes into a sign like Aquarius, and some of those things can become, for a while, amplified in terms of their visibility and importance in a given space of history.
So when Mars in Scorpio hits the square to Pluto in Aquarius, we can also think about individuating patterns happening between unique individual characteristics and how they do or don't fit into larger group identifiers, containers, or ideologies. And we can also think about collectives and groups themselves going through meaningful periods of individuating as a group. Either would be appropriate for this combination.
Mars in Scorpio in confronting Pluto in Aquarius is also a bit like looking at some of the underlying emotional and psychological dynamics that take place that can't just be rationalized away, you know. So, a classic example of this, you know, in parenting that I run into—I'm sure all of you parents out there are going to resonate with this—your kid will go through a phase, and my older daughter is doing this right now, where she'll have some big outburst of, you know, frustration or anger or something, and then she will try to rationalize it: well, this is why it's okay for me to feel this way.
And what we're trying to do is say it's okay to have big feelings, you know, like allowing for the space of feelings to be there, and we don't need to try to—let's have the feelings, and then let's be very careful not to try to justify them intellectually. Because that might sound weird, because we all—there's often a real, there's a lot of reasons that we have for being angry or being excited or whatever, but we have to be very careful with this combination.
It brings it up in particular, which is that we don't have to justify having feelings. We don't, you know, there—and on the other hand, when we have really, really intense feelings, it can be very helpful to look eventually, maybe after you just let yourself have the feelings, to look very carefully at where they're coming from and to be careful of the trap of self-righteousness: well, I deserve to feel this way. Or, you know, I was just a total jerk to my sister, but I had all the reasons in the world to be that way.
It's like all the reasons in the world don't give us a reason to be a jerk, right? So how can we honor and acknowledge a rational component and a very intense emotional component without one or the other co-opting? If that makes sense, our emotions can co-opt our mind, or our mind can co-opt our emotions to make very powerful or dramatic, reactionary things happen. And I think we have to be very careful of that interaction this week for sure.
I hope that made enough sense. I felt a little discombobulated trying to explain it. The other thing that I would look for would be when there's like—Mars in Scorpio has such a love of penetrating into the unseen, subtle, hidden dynamics. Like, let's go deeper. Let's investigate. I think of Mars in Scorpio as an investigative journalist or a detective, or, you know, investigating a crime scene in one of those TV shows, like looking, you know, it's like, oh, for the forensic evidence leads you to this thing that, because you had the eye to see it, you could put the whole puzzle together.
So I also wonder this week about moments of breakthrough intellectually: I can really understand something. I've come to see a bigger picture because I probed and went deeper and was willing to look beneath the surface a little bit more. That's also a very Mars in Scorpio meets Pluto in Aquarius kind of dynamic. Anyhow.
So that is a little bit of what to watch for. For Mars-Pluto, also just it's a very cathartic, intense kind of confrontational energy. I wonder—I do wonder, especially since we're in this eclipse kind of window of time, and we've seen, you know, around eclipses, it's as though the interplay of light and dark cosmically just gets sort of heightened or amplified.
I wonder a little bit about there being more like public, collective events that are expressive of these kinds of things this week in particular. These are the kinds of transits that tend to coincide with the death of a famous person, or the death of a leader, or the transition of leadership, or people who have central figures of authority or fame in the spotlight going through some kind of ordeal or crisis wouldn't be surprising this week—the sun going through the opposition to Neptune, or, you know, Mars going through the square to Pluto.
And in my opinion, what astrology allows for us to do is to be very careful when we see these manifestations in the collective to not get taken advantage of by loops or cycles of outrage and reaction that are unhealthy. I don't think there's anything wrong with having reactions to human affairs and events, or even to having strong feelings about them, but be careful of the ways in which collective events around these kinds of things.
There's a lot of—I believe this. I don't say a whole lot of things about the greater political or sociological realities on my channel, and I kind of pick my spots, but I will say that I believe that a lot of the way that social media works and the algorithms that govern a lot of the platforms that we use take advantage of cycles of outrage or just rage and anger and controversy, and they take advantage of what triggers us into having very strong, impulsive emotional reactions.
I would say it's a good week to guard your serenity in that way. And that, to me, doesn't mean that you have to bypass anything or put your head in the sand or not be moved, because that seems unhuman. But yeah, guard your serenity a little bit with things happening in the collective.
Okay. Well, anyway, I have said enough about all of the things. So I'm going to just give you some brief horoscopes for the fixed signs. Let me show you.
All right. Here we are, and what I'm going to do right now is I'm just going to isolate for the fixed signs the Mars-Pluto square. I'll be doing horoscopes later in the week for everybody, so don't you worry. Sorry, if you're a Taurus rising—we'll start with the first fixed sign.
You got Mars-Pluto squaring from the seventh to the tenth: the encounter of these two planets between the house of interpersonal relationships, marriage, and career, or the public domain or sphere of life. So you're going to watch for, I would say, social, professional dynamics interpersonally, and also the potential for maybe some—I mean, if I think about that individuating impulse, it's like: how are you learning, growing, individuating, relationally and professionally.
Now, if I move this forward to the next fixed sign of Leo, we've got the Mars-Pluto square coming through. And I'll just—let me back this up to Wednesday. So here it is. It's Wednesday on the 24th, so that square is happening between the space of home and family on the one hand, and interpersonal relationships, marriage, partnership on the other.
So how is that process of individualizing happening through the encounters taking place between the realm of home and family and lover relationships, or even interpersonal dynamics. So that's how I would look at it for Leos.
Now we'll move—whoops, I'm going forward days. Let's get back here. We'll move forward to the next fixed sign. And the next fixed sign is Scorpio. So here Mars is in your first: the place of identity, character, behavior, psychology, body and health, and the fourth house, which is the place of home, family, roots, parents, ancestral karma.
So how is that strong individualizing, cathartic force between Mars and Pluto expressing itself within you as a person, within your own character, within your own attitudes and behaviors, and also in dialog with or in a kind of tense encounter with home, family roots, the private or inner sphere of life. So identity and family big for Scorpios.
Now finally, Aquarius, we see Mars in the tenth house of career meeting Pluto in the first house of identity. So we're now talking about continued, ongoing moments of transformation for all Aquarians that have been taking place since Pluto entered your first house, but in a moment of kind of a acute little meeting with Mars in your tenth house of career, or your public-facing life, work, work environment, things happening in work related to this ongoing evolution of identity, body, health that's taking place in the first house.
So those are the quick fixed sign horoscopes for you. And like I said, we'll do some more later in the week for everyone. On Mondays, as you guys know, I like to just get the horoscope for the big transit of the week for, you know, whatever rising signs are going to hit the angular—whatever transit is going to hit the angular houses. Sorry, I can't talk today.
All right, I'm going to show you what's on my altar to close. Okay, let me—sorry, let me shift my camera. Here we go.
Okay, so on my altar this week, you can see that I have a little goddess statue. This is actually a replica of an ancient goddess statue from, I think it's like even like Neolithic times or—I can't remember, but it's very old, and it's one of the original sort of earthen goddess carvings.
And I have it there this week because I'm coming off from the solar eclipse in the fifth house of pregnancy and children. I've just been thinking a lot about a number of women in my extended family, cousins who are pregnant right now, and also, very soon, one of our cousins will be having a baby.
And although we're not having one, I'm just—I'm thinking a lot about the last cycle of these eclipses in my fifth house, which coincided with the birth of my daughter. So becoming a parent happened for me, and I've been thinking about a lot of mamas, and also just—just the in general, I'm not going to hesitate to say this: I think that it would be great if there were, if there was more of the maternal wisdom present in the leadership of our world, our society.
I don't idealize, you know, any one gender or type of person, because I think we're all human, you know. So I don't mean to be overly simplistic, but to me, when I think—when I honestly think about a lot of women in my life that have made a big difference, that in very highly intelligent women who also carry a maternal wisdom, a great Goddess Mother kind of wisdom, I just think I wish there was more of that leading and directing, I don't know, policy, law, stuff like that.
There is some of it. I'm not saying there isn't, but sometimes I pray that there's more. As a Cancer sun, you know, I often reflect on the fact that some of the wisdom that's made the biggest impact on my own life—I mean, certainly there's like a masculine vein of insight and wisdom that I feel very strongly in myself, that I've allowed to flourish actually in the last four or five years of really like allowing myself to get into bodybuilding and things like that.
But as a Cancer sun, born on the same day as my grandmother, who had a real—I think a real Cancerian kind of wisdom—and I, as much as I love my grandfather, I sometimes saw her wisdom. Her dimmer switch was always down, you know, and his tended to be up. He was a Leo. She was a Cancer.
And sometimes I think it needs to be the opposite is what I'm trying to say. And some of the best wisdom that I feel I have in me feels very feminine. It feels very Cancerian. And I mean the feminine in an archetypal sense, because I think, you know, men, women, people who don't necessarily identify in any like normative ways can still know exactly what I'm talking about.
So that caring, sensitive, nurturing quality—my prayer this week is there be more of it in the world, and also blessings for some of our family members who have recently gotten pregnant or are about to have a baby, and another client of mine who's a close, close friend over many, many years, close spiritual type of friend whose wife is about to have a baby, so I've just been on my mind lately.
Okay. Well, anyway, I will leave it there. I hope you're having a good day today, good start to your week. Stick around after I sign off. You can learn more about the upcoming year one program. You will absolutely love studying at Nightlight. I have put all of my heart and soul into these programs, and if you like this content, I guarantee you you will like the classes even more. So hope to see you there. All right. Bye.
