Many of us aren't especially enthusiastic about the warrior ethos of conquering empires, but with Saturn and Neptune in Aries, there is a lot of that on tap.
Are there other, more peaceful, expressions of Aries?

Neptune is in Aries because we desperately need a new dreaming of what Aries is.
The story of conquering hoards and empire builders is ready to be rewritten, and it all comes down to the posture we take when we meet strangers.
Are we enthusiastic but humble, or do we ride in swords-drawn?

Did you know... Leo rising people look more like Virgos as we mature?
I explore what that looks like in this week's Leo Risings post on Substack (along with our current Mars in Virgo transit)

I love how astrology talks about human differences without hierarchy.
There are 12 different Mercury signs representing 12 fundamentally different thinking styles... And none of them is the default or better than the others.

Our most popular model of the solar system shows the planets moving in circles, so we tend to think in cycles.
But the sun flies through space, pulling the planets along in orbits that look like a spiral staircase.
And so we are meant to return. A little wiser, with a bit more insight.

When we are unraveling, Cancer meets us with a hug and a cup of tea and a box of tissues and a chair we can disappear in and a blanket and a plate of cookies and directions to the bathroom in case we want a long bath.
And then Cancer leaves us there.

We have some really big energy shifts coming up in the next week. Mercury and Jupiter are moving into Cancer, and Venus is going into Taurus.
All of this amounts to a downshift and a turning inward, especially for Leo risings who have Cancer in the 12th house.

As a person with most of my planets in fixed signs, I value reliability.
I like to plan every change in advance and jump from experiment to routine as quickly as possible.
Gemini season has been nudging me to find a way of being reliable that isn't so predictable (and boring).

Gemini knows...
Words build worlds and tear them down.
The alphabet is a magic spell.
A story doesn't exist until it's spoken, then lives rent-free in your head forever.
Language is an ephemeral thing, but a barrage of words can hide your escape as effectively as a squid's cloud of ink.

May you know what you desire deep in your core
May you walk on slowly, calmly, and steadily.
May you, in other words, bring the gifts of Taurus into this mercurial season, and, in you, may the bull and the twins dance.
