Speaker 1 (00:07):
Hey, there, it's Evan Nathaniel Grimm, and welcome to
my podcast, astrology Unbound,and today we're going to talk
about Capricorn season and thethemes that are definitely going
to come up both at anindividual level and a societal
one, and before I start, though,be sure to download my 2025
horoscopes and forecast videos.
These are really the best wayfor you to prepare for the year
(00:31):
ahead.
They include visuals detailedvisuals of every new and full
moon, a professional productionsetup, and the videos are 75 to
90 minutes each per sign, and Irecommend that you get your sun,
moon and rising sign.
It's 20 bucks per video and 20%off if you download more than
one, with the 20% discountexpiring on December 31st, so
(00:55):
you'll definitely want to takeadvantage of that discount now,
and the videos also walk throughthe defining trends for each
Zodiac sign.
There's a custom ranking ofeach month and its impact on
each zodiac sign, so there's alot of valuable details in there
, and this is just a great timeas we experience the Mars
(01:17):
retrograde Mercury square,saturn this week, as you're
listening to, this is great forplanning ahead with that
Mercury-Saturn square,especially the Mercury-Jupiter
opposition.
So why not plan ahead and getahead by downloading those
videos and almost 8,000 of youhave downloaded a video so far,
and I do appreciate your support.
(01:37):
So, as we go through today, thefocus is on Capricorn season.
So the sun has enteredCapricorn and the winter
solstice was a couple days ago.
Hopefully you celebrated that.
This was really, you know, anamazing time.
You know, when this, from thenorthern hemispheric perspective
, the sun starts to climb backnorthward and this is a
(02:00):
resurrection, symbolically.
Resurrection symbolically, andthe sun starts to, you know,
return northward and we start toregain light, slowly and
steadily each night.
And you know, capricorn seasonis always a time to focus on,
you know, the things that weneed to do each day to basically
(02:22):
achieve, you know, achieve ourlong-term goals, and this is
about putting in the effort tomake daily adjustments and
changes that add up over time.
So Capricorn reminds us thatall of our decisions add up over
time to both positive andnegative outcomes.
So, with this Capricorn season,though, we're not just going to
(02:44):
focus on that archetype broadly, we are also going to focus on
the position of Saturn.
You know which rules Capricorn.
So you know, every Capricornseason is unique and it is
defined by, you know, saturn'smovements, because Saturn is the
ruling planet of Capricorn.
It disposits the Sun inCapricorn.
So you know, when Icontextualize this, capricorn
(03:06):
season disposits the sun inCapricorn.
So you know, when Icontextualize this Capricorn
season, I mean number one,before we get into Saturn.
This is really your time to laya foundation for the year ahead,
but specifically to address thethings or issues that maybe
even the topics that are not sofun, not always the sexiest or
most exciting, but it's like theblocking and tackling things
(03:27):
that you have to do in order tomake Aquarius season really
exciting.
And the reason I'm mentioningthat is because there's going to
be a Sun-Pluto conjunction andalignment in Aquarius.
And last year when we had theSun-Pluto conjunction, it was in
the sign of Capricorn, right?
So you know, in recent years,for many years now, whenever we
(03:48):
have this, you know, beginningof the synodic cycle with Pluto,
it's always in Capricorn, andlast year it was almost, or this
past year it was almost inAquarius, but not quite.
So you know that conjunction onJanuary 20th of 2024 was at,
you know, 29 degrees, 59 minutesof cap, and so you know this
(04:13):
upcoming, you know, conjunctionis actually in Aquarius, in the
sign of Aquarius.
So Aquarius season this year, Ithink, is really going to have
this energy of like.
Well, it's almost going toherald the next 19 years of
Pluto in Aquarius.
Obviously, that's going to bein a time period of, you know,
accelerated change and AI,sentient AI, quantum computing
(04:36):
and all these other themes inAquarius power, nuclear power,
electricity, solar flares, maybeshutting down the grid,
cybersecurity, I mean, there'sall these sort of like
futuristic things that you maybeonly get glimpses of in sci-fi
movies.
All these things are going tostart to really manifest and
percolate.
But before that Capricornseason, here is a very, very
(04:59):
clear opportunity to create thatfoundation that you can rely on
.
Opportunity to, you know,create that foundation that you
can rely on, that stable,resilient, dependable foundation
that you can rely on, you know,while you know, as we head into
that era of accelerated change.
So, now that I've kind ofestablished that I do want to
focus on Saturn and the positionof Saturn right now.
(05:21):
So Saturn right now, is in thesign of Pisces.
It has been in Pisces sinceMarch of 2023, and it will be in
Pisces off and on throughFebruary 2026.
However, in 2025, it will also,you know, peek into the sign of
Aries, go backwards into Piscesfor a bit and then go back into
(05:42):
Aries in February of 2026.
But during this Capricornseason we also have Mercury,
which is a planet that dealswith, like our conversations,
our mental faculties.
You know our thought process.
We have that planet in Sag,squaring Saturn in Pisces.
So right now, I do think realityis setting in through our
(06:03):
conversations or our modes ofthought.
We're suddenly realizing that,with the square root of Saturn
in Pisces, that we have to focuson health, and that's really
the topic I want to focus ontoday.
And again, it is not thesexiest topic.
It is not a topic that you'llsee a lot of astrologers address
, either because they'rehesitant to give advice about
(06:23):
this thing or about health tolike a mass audience, or maybe
they don't see as great ofresults in the algorithm when
they talk about that.
Whatever the case, I don'treally see a lot of content
directed towards health in theastrology social media community
, even though that's what'sstaring us right in the face.
I mean, you know, pisces is verymuch about pervasive things in
(06:44):
in the environment, like whetherit's pathogens or toxins or
plastics or whatever it may be,but it's also really about the
immune system, mental health,spiritual health, um, you know,
and obviously, with the immunesystem we're talking about, you
know, our health generally, youknow saturn in pisces, I think,
is giving us an opportunity tosustain good health, right In an
(07:08):
era where, it's like you know,convenience is king and, you
know, we're not reallyincentivized to focus on, you
know, becoming more resilient orengaging in resistance training
.
Right, it's almost like we'reagain being tempted to plug into
this Aquarian energy of like.
This Aquarian energy of like,you know, you can have your
(07:30):
delivery order whenever you wantor you can rely on AI to do
something for you, or whatever.
It's like, you know, saturn andPisces, squaring, mercury and
Sag.
Is that health practitioner orthat doctor telling you, hey,
like, if you don't make theseadjustments to your lifestyle
now, then you know it willcompound over time and you know
you will eventually develop thiscondition or whatnot.
(07:51):
And so you know, I think thatpeople are either hearing I'm
not trying to scare you, but,like, some people are even like
hearing some sobering news rightnow, either about themselves or
about a family member or afriend.
Or, you know, a friend is justmentioning, or a family member
is mentioning to you that, hey,like, you have to start
investing more time in yournutrition, your exercise, your
(08:13):
daily practices.
Otherwise, it will add up tosomething you know that you
don't want.
And Saturn, you know, is showingus sort of exposing the
consequences of Neptune being inPisces.
So it's kind of sweeping infrom behind and being like well,
you know, these Neptunianendeavors or activities that
(08:35):
you've invested in since 2011,when Neptune entered Pisces,
maybe have been deleterious insome ways, because Neptune in
Pisces has almost incentivizedus to dissociate, withdraw from
the identity of self, transcendthe ego in some cases, which can
be amazing, right Like we are,you know, maybe becoming
conduits for the divine, orwe're drawing upon a creative
(08:56):
muse.
You know these are, or we are,you know, donating to a cause,
we're volunteering, we are partof some kind of humanitarian
group.
I mean, these are all you knowthe upsides of Piscean energy,
but you know, or finding aspiritual community.
But the other downside ofPisces is that, you know, we can
(09:16):
lie to ourselves, we can lie toothers, we can make excuses, we
can completely avoidresponsibility and we can, like,
pretend as though we are nottime bound, we are not bound
within a body, and that we canessentially, you know, do as we
please and we can ignore thesuggestions of a doctor, ignore
the suggestions of our spiritualguide or ignore the, you know,
(09:41):
whatever suggestions you rely onfor health Again, and that's
not up to me, like some peoplewould rather consult a shaman
than a doctor you know, whateverpath you take, you know Saturn
is showing us that.
You know, while some of thethings we've engaged in, like
our spiritual enlightenmentjourney, that has been great.
I mean, I love Neptune andPisces for myself.
(10:01):
With Neptune on my midheaven in2020, I started learning about
astrology.
But in other cases, there areperiods of time.
There have been periods of timewith Neptune and Pisces when I
have dissociated.
You know I have given into theparty lifestyle.
When I was living in New YorkCity, I was very much trying to
de-stress from my corporate job,which I absolutely hated.
You know my way of de-stressingand decompressing was to go out
(10:26):
for happy hours three to fourtimes a week and like that
really added up and that hasaffected my health and I am
dealing with, you know, someminor consequences of that now.
And in that example, a lot ofthat partying that I did
happened when Neptune wassquaring my Mars and my Mercury
at the same time, because I havea Mercury Mars opposition.
So in 2016, 2015, neptune wascreating a T-square with my
(10:52):
Mars-Mercury opposition, so mydaily lifestyle became more
Neptunian, meaning I wasdrinking a lot.
But now that Saturn this year,in 2024, played that role of
squaring my Mars-Mercuryopposition at that same position
, you know, I woke up to thefact that, you know, maybe all
of that drinking started toaffect my body in certain ways,
and so this year I've reallytaken it upon myself to, you
(11:15):
know, really focus on nutrition,strength training.
You know, just observing myhealth metrics in a different
way.
So, anyways, I think we're allgoing through something like
that or we're witnessingsomething like that.
So maybe you're watching afamily member receive news that
they have to change theirlifestyle, or, again, you are
receiving that news, or you'rethinking about your health
(11:36):
differently.
So I mean, don't view this as apurely negative thing or a
daunting thing Again.
The opportunity with thisMercury-Saturn square is that we
can sustain good health Againin this modernized time where,
like the temptation, likeconvenience is a temptress,
convenience is always calling tous and saying well, why don't
you just order that for deliveryinstead of going to the grocery
(11:59):
store, instead of having anin-person interaction with your
food and really, like, you know,judging your food that you're
about to buy or whatever it isfor you, or, you know, choosing
the couch instead of standing up.
I mean, like, whatever it isfor you, it's about making some
tweaks to your daily lifestyleright now because that will make
, you know, make sure that youare healthy and you are
(12:20):
resilient during this Pluto andAquarius era, where change is
going to happen really fast, andyou want to be healthy for that
, you want to be aware, for thatyou want to be, um, you know,
really tapped in.
For that you don't want because, like, what's going to happen
next year is, you know,neptune's going to leave pisces
and a lot of people are going tobe like, oh, I wanted that, I
still wanted that, you know,blissful experience, I still
(12:41):
wanted that.
You know, chocolate or thatcandy or whatever, and it's
being taken away from us andit's like, oh uh, suddenly I
realized that that wasn't theright.
Very much the even more of areason during this Capricorn
season, to think about the dailypractices that you can invest
in that will ensure that therewill be no rude awakening or
(13:04):
reckoning for you when you knowNeptune leaves Pisces.
You know this is a time wherewe cannot avoid.
Also, though, like what's inour environment, what's airborne
or, you know, is therepollution that we have to pay
attention to in our neighborhoodor in our city?
Is there something in our foodthat we have to pay attention to
?
Is there something in ourtoothpaste, in our water?
(13:25):
I mean, these are all questionsthat you want to be asking
yourself right now.
Lunar nodes, you know, shiftinto Virgo and Pisces, like you
know.
There is a small chance thatthere, you know, there could be
some kind of pathogen, you know,really rearing its ugly head or
something in the next fewmonths, because you know, we do
(13:46):
have that eclipse on March 13th,you know, lunar eclipse in
Virgo, with the south node inVirgo, I think mid-March, I mean
, could be showing us with thenorth node on Neptune, and I
think mid-March, I mean, couldbe showing us with the North
node on Neptune and Saturn inthe sun.
Like that there is some kind oftransmissibility or
communicability with some typeof pathogen or disease that's
percolating, and I'm notsuggesting that it's a
(14:09):
particular pathogen.
I mean I know that the bird fluis being monitored right now.
I mean it could be somethingelse.
It could just be like a reallybad flu season.
It could be some other sort ofillness, but you know this is a
time during Capricorn season, toagain focus on what does your
body need, what does your spiritneed, what does your mind need?
You know how can you stimulateall of these things on a daily
basis.
(14:29):
So maybe you know, allocate acertain amount of time to each
sort of piece of thattriumvirate so that you are
holistically healthy.
And you know, with the North Endand Pisces, I think that people
will find different routes tohealing, whether that is, you
know again, spirituality,finding a spiritual community.
(14:50):
I actually think religion willbecome more popular again, like
I think a lot of people will,you know, partake in like mega
churches or their localsynagogue or mosque or whatever
branch of religion they, youknow, engage in.
I think a lot of people will bedrawn to various religions, and
you know so I'm not trying tomake this like a nutritional
(15:12):
podcast or anything but, like,I'm talking about the topics
that you know people should Imean astrologers should be
addressing head, talking aboutthe topics that you know, um,
people should I mean astrologersshould be addressing head-on.
I mean, you know, and I think alot of astrologers have been
hesitant, partly because, likeduring the pandemic, there was
like a rift over like, okay, howto like deal with it and like,
are we, you know, like what?
(15:33):
What sort of treatment shouldwe write like?
Should we even be like gettinginvolved in like treatment
recommendations?
Right, like that's a that'ssort of a challenging topic to
address, right, especially to.
I mean, it became a reallysensitive subject essentially,
but I still think that, like,it's incumbent upon us to, you
know, focus on like what doesSaturn and Pisces actually mean?
(15:55):
I mean, like Epstein-Barr wasdiscovered when Saturn was in
Pisces, I believe in the 60s,but when Saturn was in Pisces in
that cycle.
But you know, saturn and Piscescan also focus on addiction.
You know, in the mid 90s wedefinitely had the war on drugs,
you know was really front andcenter.
So, you know, saturn and Piscesdoes illuminate lifestyle and
(16:19):
toxic habits and things likethat.
And it illuminates all theunhealthy and healthy ways that
we dissociate from the ego,basically deceived either by,
you know, health practitioners,or where we may have been
deceived by you know healthexperts, or where we may have
(16:45):
deceived ourselves, but again bycompletely shirking
responsibility and saying that,like we don't actually have to,
you know, take ownership of thisor that.
You know, I think this Capricornseason is basically
highlighting Saturn and Pisces,and what makes it different,
though, than last Cap season,which also featured Saturn and
Pisces, is that we do have theMercury-Saturn square very much
in effect right now as the Sunenters Capricorn.
(17:08):
So I actually do want to takethis opportunity to walk
backwards and check out lastCapricorn season to kind of show
you the differences, and checkout last Capricorn season to
kind of show you the differences.
So the last time that the Sunentered Cap and we had the
winter solstice was December21st 2023.
And at that time, we did haveMercury retrograde in Cap, but,
(17:30):
you know, it was not anywherenear squaring Saturn.
It was actually sextilingSaturn, if anything.
So this time around, I thinkthat you know, this
Saturn-Mercury square is reallyagain forcing us to actually
have conversations about health,to maybe have our own reality
checks upon overhearing someoneelse's sobering health
conversation.
(17:50):
So I mean, this is almost likegiving the energy of, you know,
a grandparent maybe dealing withchronic health issues and, you
know, having that discussed in ahospital.
Or, you know, maybe you're atthe hospital witnessing this and
witnessing the doctor tellingyour grandparents that they have
to, you know, basically wake upto the reality that they can no
(18:11):
longer do X, y, z, or they haveto make these adjustments.
And then suddenly the lightbulb goes off in your mind and
you're like, well, now that Ithink about it, I actually
should really deal with this inmy own way.
So, you know, I think there'ssomething to be said for that.
Now, what exactly are wedealing with?
Health-wise, though, like I said, saturn is sweeping in to
expose any poor practices thatwe've been engaged in since
(18:35):
Neptune was in Pisces, which itis still in Pisces, but since
2011, when Neptune enteredPisces, all of that is subject
to be exposed right now, meaning, you know, any deleterious
habits that you've been engagedin over the last 13 years or so
is liable to be scrutinized bySaturn, to be scrutinized by
(18:58):
Saturn, but I think what Saturntypically exposes in Pisces is
chronic conditions orlong-standing bad habits,
because Mars, as a planet, ismuch more sudden, much quicker
to take effect.
So Mars has the energy of likea sudden fire or a sudden
accident or something like that,whereas Saturn is more chronic.
It's like a chronic ailment, orit's like arthritis, or it's
(19:18):
something that is directly, youknow, it's a direct
manifestation of long-termchoices that have added up,
which makes sense, right,because Capricorn shows us that
Saturn is the lord of time,saturn rules Capricorn and so
it's like you know, we're seeinghow all of these choices have
(19:38):
compounded.
So, again, if you're going toreflect on anything, reflect on
longstanding habits, like Idon't know, something that I
went through this year.
You know, I used to have like athird or so of a pint of ice
cream every night.
So I used to go through like apint of ice cream every three
days and I used to think that,well, because I you know, I
(20:05):
don't know I honestly was havingice cream like that much since
I was like 15 or something, andbecause I wasn't really like
seeing it affect me likenegatively in terms of like
weight, I just kind of assumedthat I should be fine.
But then I like I had a wake upcall this year where I was like
no, I really can't continue todo that, like I can't like eat
ice cream every night.
Like that's insane.
Like it doesn't matter if Iwork out or run or whatever,
(20:25):
like if I'm putting that in mybody like that much sugar right
before bed, like that's just abad thing, that's a bad idea.
So I finally like cut ice creamout of my diet this year, even
though I love I mean it's great,I love eating it.
It's like I just had to berealistic because, you know, I'm
experienced.
I experienced the Saturn Mercurysquare the entire year and most
of 2023, because I have Mercuryin Sag.
(20:45):
So if anyone understands theMercury Saturn square lately,
it's me.
I mean, you know.
So, like, take it from me likewe're all experiencing a
miniature version of that with,with the transiting
Mercury-Saturn square, we are,all you know, facing and
confronting these realitiesagain that you know it's like
time to finally cut that out, orit's finally time to, you know,
(21:09):
focus on your glutes or yourthighs or some part of your body
where maybe you haven't been asstrong lately, like whatever it
is.
That's going to be the focus,and I think that, even though
Jupiter is opposing Mercury, Ithink the Saturn square far
outweighs the Jupiter opposition, by the way, because, even
though there's technically aT-square right now, you know the
(21:31):
Saturn square means a lot more,because Saturn deposits the
transiting sun in Capricorn.
You know we're in Capricornseason, so Saturn carries a lot
of weight.
Another theme, though that'scoming up is legalities.
So a lot of legal situationsare coming up.
So Blake Lively, for exampleyou know, you saw, I believe,
she sued one of her co-stars.
I didn't fully dive into thatstory, but that's what I heard
(21:54):
from the news.
So you are seeing legal casescome up and I think that will
continue to be a trend for thenext few weeks.
So a lot of legal cases will bebrought forth, either publicly
or more on a personal level.
So I wanted to highlight that.
Also, some travel difficultiesmay continue.
(22:17):
Uh, so some people may bereconsidering travel based on
weather patterns.
Like maybe you wanted to go tobali, but there's flooding in
bali right now.
Um, and other people willcancel trips because they no
longer want to talk to somebody.
Um, and you know, this isgenerally a week, by the way,
upcoming, where people are notas talkative or social.
(22:38):
People are more reticent,people are more in hermit mode.
I don't know.
I saw a video about theVenus-Jupiter trine.
I think that means something tosome degree, and Venus is an
Aquarius, which can be social.
But the Mercury-Saturn squareis also signaling that it's okay
to hibernate right now, it'sokay not to respond to someone
(22:59):
right away, it's okay.
If someone doesn't respond toyou right away, like genuinely,
with the Mars retrograde beingso kind of enervating, I think
it's okay to just take a stepback and to just relax and watch
a bunch of Harry Potter moviesor something.
So just binge watch somethingIf you ever had to like be a
little bit like kind of lazy.
(23:20):
I think this week is okay forthat.
You know you want to hit theground running on, I believe,
the 30th, with the Cap New Moon,which I'll address in the next
podcast episode, by the way.
But you know, if you have tojust take it easy right now, I
wouldn't.
Yeah, it's December 30th, thatnew moon, yeah, I mean, that's
another point, by the way, we'rein the last quarter moon as I'm
(23:41):
recording this.
We're in a last quarter moonphase.
We're, you know, reaching thatsort of, you know, waning
crescent moon.
This is, you know, this is atime where, even from the lunar
cycle perspective, we're windingdown.
But I promise you, once we getinto, you know, aquarius season,
that Sun-Pluto conjunctionshortly thereafter, you know the
(24:05):
change is going to happen realfast.
I mean, not only because there'sa new administration coming in
around that time, but because,you know, we get this influx of
air energy but during cap season, for a lot of cap season, we
have Venus and Pisces, mercuryand Capricorn.
That's a lot of earth and airMars back into Cancer.
You know that is veryintrospective, that's very
(24:25):
passive, that's very reflective,you know.
But one thing I wanted tohighlight that is really
powerful is the Sun-Marsopposition.
That will happen during Capseason.
The Sun-Mars opposition is thepeak of the synodic cycle of
Mars and the Sun and it isreally the peak of the Mars
retrograde.
So that's when Mars is thebrightest in the sky, that's
(24:47):
when it's the most powerful andalso unhinged.
So that's towards the end ofCap season, jan 15.
Around January 15, people aregoing to be very unhinged, very
Martian, very angry, veryaggressive, you know, and people
and families may be fightingover things, which is very much
a Mars retrograde and cancerphenomenon.
You know we also will have aMercury-Mars opposition.
(25:11):
I believe that's actuallyduring Aquarius season, yes, but
you know, just to call that out, you know there will be a
Mercury-Mars opposition inJanuary, january 23rd.
That's also a time when peopleare very argumentative.
I have a Mars retrogradeopposing Mercury.
Believe me, I understand thisenergy.
It's very quarrelsome but alsoinsatiably curious to like read,
write, communicate, you know,just engage in like a busy daily
(25:37):
life.
I mean it's kind of a hectictime, but that's all to say.
Like Aquarius season is busy,it's real busy.
So right now is okay to likeagain, take it slow, focus on
your health, focus on yourhealth holistically, focus on
your wellness journey, focus onmanaging any chronic conditions.
You know, set resolutions, setnew habits so that you know you
(26:03):
can, you know, live out thismantra that health is wealth.
And you know like, if you'regoing to focus on wealth, like
success, success is measured byyour health, especially during
cap season.
And then, you know, as we getinto Aquarius season, actually
(26:24):
even during cap season, we havethe lunar nodes again shifting
into Virgo and Pisces, whichagain is also going to focus on
health, and with the North Nodein Pisces conjunct Neptune, I do
think a lot of people willstart to to revere these more
like spiritual or religiousmovements again and they will
sort of divert their attentionaway from celebrity.
(26:45):
So this is the collapse of thefalse idols or any you know
celebrities that we put maybethe wrong faith in or we
misplace our faith in them.
We're going to start to focusmore on, like, these sort of
universal truths, these higherpowers, and because of that
we're not going to worshippeople, who you know, people I
(27:06):
mean, we're not going to worshippeople in the physical body as
much.
Of course the mandate at thattime is to ground yourself and
stay grounded.
But you know, we will befocused on getting outside of
our egos, but again in a healthyway.
We don't want to dissociate.
What I don't like about theNorth Node and Pisces to kind of
, you know, build on that is thefact that you know it does
(27:30):
increase the transmissibility ofpathogens because we're
literally melting our boundariesbetween ourselves and a higher
power and ourselves and otherpeople.
So it does make pathogens moretransmissible.
So during COVID we have thenorth and south node of Gemini
and Sag, which are mutable signs.
When the north and south nodesare immutable signs it's more
likely I know this happensfrequently of course the north
(27:51):
and south nodes are mutablesigns but it does make it more
likely that something will becommunicable like a disease.
We also have Chiron stationingdirect, I believe December 29th,
during cap season.
So even Chiron StationingDirect is emphasizing health and
healing and, you know,re-strengthening and
revitalizing ourselves, becauseit's in the sign of Aries which
(28:11):
is all about the masculine andthe individual willpower and our
strength.
So, yeah, I mean there's a lotof things highlighted there that
I've mentioned today.
The other thing I just would addon is that you know Saturn in
Pisces does emphasize floodingrisks, water-related disasters.
So, you know, close yourwindows during a snowstorm,
(28:33):
obviously, check for any leaksin your home, seal those up, be
careful while driving.
And inclement weather, any wet,you know, rain, sleet, snow
kind of stuff.
And, by the way, the healthchoices you make right now will
be re-scrutinized in seven years.
So one quarter of a Saturncycle, so around 2032, when
(28:54):
Saturn, I believe, is in lateGemini.
You know, literally like thethings that you do right now I
think are being evaluated eventhen.
So this is not a low stakestime.
I mean, this is a incrediblyconsequential Saturn transit and
Saturn's going to meet up withNeptune co-presents in Aries
(29:16):
this summer or in May of 2025.
So even by then, you knowthat's a health reckoning.
I mean, you know, probably areckoning for the healthcare
system in general.
You know people are going tolike maybe decide.
Well, you know, maybe I want todivest from the healthcare and
like whole healthcare thing Iwant to focus on.
(29:37):
I don't know, like maybe Imentioned this on the last
podcast, but I just wonder ifthere's going to be communities
of healthy people that arebasically like created in
isolation and like a situationwhere people can like live in a
completely different society ofhealthy people where they don't
have to pay that much forhealthcare because of that.
I mean I know that, for example, like when I used to work for a
(29:58):
startup, like we used to getlike free healthcare because,
like everybody at the companywas like really young.
So I mean there may be like newhealthcare models that come up
over the next year that arecreated, or like honestly
different societies where peoplelive off of like localized food
, decentralized everything, blah, blah, blah, new spiritual
communities popping up, but Ithink like the cost of
(30:19):
healthcare will be underscoredover the next year.
I also think, um, again, peoplewill be focusing on health
differently and there's a wholeset of other meanings with
Saturn and Pisces, these areit's going to highlight massive
achievements in the arts andmusic and film, and again, maybe
(30:45):
new spiritual communities willbe built or something or formed.
That's all true, but I think,for the sake of like focusing on
pragmatic things that arereally high value for you right
now.
You know, this Capricorn seasonis showing that there are health
situations that cannot beignored, both at a collective
scale and at an individual level.
(31:07):
So focus on that.
I talked about this last weekas well, but edit your book,
edit your written work, finishup any writing or communications
things you know.
Finish up any, yeah, anywriting or communications things
.
And I think that, again, aslong as you focus on your
long-term health right now,managing chronic conditions and
(31:29):
sort of projecting out andextrapolating, like sort of the
effects of your choices and yourlifestyle, and even, again,
balancing out your mental,spiritual and physical health, I
think, as long as you do allthose things, capricorn season
should be good for you.
Again, it's not the mostexciting season this time.
I'm not saying that everyCapricorn season is boring, by
the way, but like this Capricornseason, you know, is really
(31:56):
really heavily focused on thatand again honestly also focusing
on how you can manage likeflood risks and any water
related damage and I talkedabout this on another platform
recently, but like I don't know,with the Saturn Neptune
conjunction coming up, Ipersonally would be very
cautious about like living likesuper, super close to a
coastline that's, like you know,prone to flooding or prone to,
(32:21):
you know, any kind of like.
And, again, it's not just thecoastline, it could be like rain
related damage in like themiddle of the country or
something.
But, like you know, just reallypay attention over the next
year and a half to any floodrisks that may be arising in
your community.
So, anyways, thank you so much.

Hey, there, it's Evan Nathaniel Grimm, and welcome to
my podcast, astrology Unbound,and today we're going to talk
about Capricorn season and thethemes that are definitely going
to come up both at anindividual level and a societal
one, and before I start, though,be sure to download my 2025
horoscopes and forecast videos.
These are really the best wayfor you to prepare for the year
(00:31):
ahead.
They include visuals detailedvisuals of every new and full
moon, a professional productionsetup, and the videos are 75 to
90 minutes each per sign, and Irecommend that you get your sun,
moon and rising sign.

(00:55):
you'll definitely want to takeadvantage of that discount now,
and the videos also walk throughthe defining trends for each
Zodiac sign.
There's a custom ranking ofeach month and its impact on
each zodiac sign, so there's alot of valuable details in there
, and this is just a great timeas we experience the Mars
(01:17):
retrograde Mercury square,saturn this week, as you're
listening to, this is great forplanning ahead with that
Mercury-Saturn square,especially the Mercury-Jupiter
opposition.
So why not plan ahead and getahead by downloading those
videos and almost 8,000 of youhave downloaded a video so far,
and I do appreciate your support.
(01:37):
So, as we go through today, thefocus is on Capricorn season.
So the sun has enteredCapricorn and the winter
solstice was a couple days ago.
Hopefully you celebrated that.
This was really, you know, anamazing time.
You know, when this, from thenorthern hemispheric perspective
, the sun starts to climb backnorthward and this is a
(02:00):
resurrection, symbolically.
Resurrection symbolically, andthe sun starts to, you know,
return northward and we start toregain light, slowly and
steadily each night.
And you know, capricorn seasonis always a time to focus on,
you know, the things that weneed to do each day to basically
(02:22):
achieve, you know, achieve ourlong-term goals, and this is
about putting in the effort tomake daily adjustments and
changes that add up over time.
So Capricorn reminds us thatall of our decisions add up over
time to both positive andnegative outcomes.
So, with this Capricorn season,though, we're not just going to
(02:44):
focus on that archetype broadly, we are also going to focus on
the position of Saturn.
You know which rules Capricorn.
So you know, every Capricornseason is unique and it is
defined by, you know, saturn'smovements, because Saturn is the
ruling planet of Capricorn.
It disposits the Sun inCapricorn.
So you know, when Icontextualize this, capricorn
(03:06):
season disposits the sun inCapricorn.
So you know, when Icontextualize this Capricorn
season, I mean number one,before we get into Saturn.
This is really your time to laya foundation for the year ahead,
but specifically to address thethings or issues that maybe
even the topics that are not sofun, not always the sexiest or
most exciting, but it's like theblocking and tackling things
(03:27):
that you have to do in order tomake Aquarius season really
exciting.
And the reason I'm mentioningthat is because there's going to
be a Sun-Pluto conjunction andalignment in Aquarius.
And last year when we had theSun-Pluto conjunction, it was in
the sign of Capricorn, right?
So you know, in recent years,for many years now, whenever we
(03:48):
have this, you know, beginningof the synodic cycle with Pluto,
it's always in Capricorn, andlast year it was almost, or this
past year it was almost inAquarius, but not quite.
So you know that conjunction onJanuary 20th of 2024 was at,
you know, 29 degrees, 59 minutesof cap, and so you know this
(04:13):
upcoming, you know, conjunctionis actually in Aquarius, in the
sign of Aquarius.
So Aquarius season this year, Ithink, is really going to have
this energy of like.
Well, it's almost going toherald the next 19 years of
Pluto in Aquarius.
Obviously, that's going to bein a time period of, you know,
accelerated change and AI,sentient AI, quantum computing
(04:36):
and all these other themes inAquarius power, nuclear power,
electricity, solar flares, maybeshutting down the grid,
cybersecurity, I mean, there'sall these sort of like
futuristic things that you maybeonly get glimpses of in sci-fi
movies.
All these things are going tostart to really manifest and
percolate.
But before that Capricornseason, here is a very, very
(04:59):
clear opportunity to create thatfoundation that you can rely on
.
Opportunity to, you know,create that foundation that you
can rely on, that stable,resilient, dependable foundation
that you can rely on, you know,while you know, as we head into
that era of accelerated change.
So, now that I've kind ofestablished that I do want to
focus on Saturn and the positionof Saturn right now.
(05:21):
So Saturn right now, is in thesign of Pisces.
It has been in Pisces sinceMarch of 2023, and it will be in
Pisces off and on throughFebruary 2026.
However, in 2025, it will also,you know, peek into the sign of
Aries, go backwards into Piscesfor a bit and then go back into
(05:42):
Aries in February of 2026.
But during this Capricornseason we also have Mercury,
which is a planet that dealswith, like our conversations,
our mental faculties.
You know our thought process.
We have that planet in Sag,squaring Saturn in Pisces.
So right now, I do think realityis setting in through our
(06:03):
conversations or our modes ofthought.
We're suddenly realizing that,with the square root of Saturn
in Pisces, that we have to focuson health, and that's really
the topic I want to focus ontoday.
And again, it is not thesexiest topic.
It is not a topic that you'llsee a lot of astrologers address
, either because they'rehesitant to give advice about
(06:23):
this thing or about health tolike a mass audience, or maybe
they don't see as great ofresults in the algorithm when
they talk about that.
Whatever the case, I don'treally see a lot of content
directed towards health in theastrology social media community
, even though that's what'sstaring us right in the face.
I mean, you know, pisces is verymuch about pervasive things in
(06:44):
in the environment, like whetherit's pathogens or toxins or
plastics or whatever it may be,but it's also really about the
immune system, mental health,spiritual health, um, you know,
and obviously, with the immunesystem we're talking about, you
know, our health generally, youknow saturn in pisces, I think,
is giving us an opportunity tosustain good health, right In an
(07:08):
era where, it's like you know,convenience is king and, you
know, we're not reallyincentivized to focus on, you
know, becoming more resilient orengaging in resistance training
.
Right, it's almost like we'reagain being tempted to plug into
this Aquarian energy of like.
This Aquarian energy of like,you know, you can have your
(07:30):
delivery order whenever you wantor you can rely on AI to do
something for you, or whatever.
It's like, you know, saturn andPisces, squaring, mercury and
Sag.
Is that health practitioner orthat doctor telling you, hey,
like, if you don't make theseadjustments to your lifestyle
now, then you know it willcompound over time and you know
you will eventually develop thiscondition or whatnot.
(07:51):
And so you know, I think thatpeople are either hearing I'm
not trying to scare you, but,like, some people are even like
hearing some sobering news rightnow, either about themselves or
about a family member or afriend.
Or, you know, a friend is justmentioning, or a family member
is mentioning to you that, hey,like, you have to start
investing more time in yournutrition, your exercise, your
(08:13):
daily practices.
Otherwise, it will add up tosomething you know that you
don't want.
And Saturn, you know, is showingus sort of exposing the
consequences of Neptune being inPisces.
So it's kind of sweeping infrom behind and being like well,
you know, these Neptunianendeavors or activities that
(08:35):
you've invested in since 2011,when Neptune entered Pisces,
maybe have been deleterious insome ways, because Neptune in
Pisces has almost incentivizedus to dissociate, withdraw from
the identity of self, transcendthe ego in some cases, which can
be amazing, right Like we are,you know, maybe becoming
conduits for the divine, orwe're drawing upon a creative
(08:56):
muse.
You know these are, or we are,you know, donating to a cause,
we're volunteering, we are partof some kind of humanitarian
group.
I mean, these are all you knowthe upsides of Piscean energy,
but you know, or finding aspiritual community.
But the other downside ofPisces is that, you know, we can
(09:16):
lie to ourselves, we can lie toothers, we can make excuses, we
can completely avoidresponsibility and we can, like,
pretend as though we are nottime bound, we are not bound
within a body, and that we canessentially, you know, do as we
please and we can ignore thesuggestions of a doctor, ignore
the suggestions of our spiritualguide or ignore the, you know,
(09:41):
whatever suggestions you rely onfor health Again, and that's
not up to me, like some peoplewould rather consult a shaman
than a doctor you know, whateverpath you take, you know Saturn
is showing us that.
You know, while some of thethings we've engaged in, like
our spiritual enlightenmentjourney, that has been great.
I mean, I love Neptune andPisces for myself.
(10:01):
With Neptune on my midheaven in2020, I started learning about
astrology.
But in other cases, there areperiods of time.
There have been periods of timewith Neptune and Pisces when I
have dissociated.
You know I have given into theparty lifestyle.
When I was living in New YorkCity, I was very much trying to
de-stress from my corporate job,which I absolutely hated.
You know my way of de-stressingand decompressing was to go out
(10:26):
for happy hours three to fourtimes a week and like that
really added up and that hasaffected my health and I am
dealing with, you know, someminor consequences of that now.
And in that example, a lot ofthat partying that I did
happened when Neptune wassquaring my Mars and my Mercury
at the same time, because I havea Mercury Mars opposition.
So in 2016, 2015, neptune wascreating a T-square with my
(10:52):
Mars-Mercury opposition, so mydaily lifestyle became more
Neptunian, meaning I wasdrinking a lot.
But now that Saturn this year,in 2024, played that role of
squaring my Mars-Mercuryopposition at that same position
, you know, I woke up to thefact that, you know, maybe all
of that drinking started toaffect my body in certain ways,
and so this year I've reallytaken it upon myself to, you
(11:15):
know, really focus on nutrition,strength training.
You know, just observing myhealth metrics in a different
way.
So, anyways, I think we're allgoing through something like
that or we're witnessingsomething like that.
So maybe you're watching afamily member receive news that
they have to change theirlifestyle, or, again, you are
receiving that news, or you'rethinking about your health
(11:36):
differently.
So I mean, don't view this as apurely negative thing or a
daunting thing Again.
The opportunity with thisMercury-Saturn square is that we
can sustain good health Againin this modernized time where,
like the temptation, likeconvenience is a temptress,
convenience is always calling tous and saying well, why don't
you just order that for deliveryinstead of going to the grocery
(11:59):
store, instead of having anin-person interaction with your
food and really, like, you know,judging your food that you're
about to buy or whatever it isfor you, or, you know, choosing
the couch instead of standing up.
I mean, like, whatever it isfor you, it's about making some
tweaks to your daily lifestyleright now because that will make
, you know, make sure that youare healthy and you are
(12:20):
resilient during this Pluto andAquarius era, where change is
going to happen really fast, andyou want to be healthy for that
, you want to be aware, for thatyou want to be, um, you know,
really tapped in.
For that you don't want because, like, what's going to happen
next year is, you know,neptune's going to leave pisces
and a lot of people are going tobe like, oh, I wanted that, I
still wanted that, you know,blissful experience, I still
(12:41):
wanted that.
You know, chocolate or thatcandy or whatever, and it's
being taken away from us andit's like, oh uh, suddenly I
realized that that wasn't theright.
Very much the even more of areason during this Capricorn
season, to think about the dailypractices that you can invest
in that will ensure that therewill be no rude awakening or
(13:04):
reckoning for you when you knowNeptune leaves Pisces.
You know this is a time wherewe cannot avoid.
Also, though, like what's inour environment, what's airborne
or, you know, is therepollution that we have to pay
attention to in our neighborhoodor in our city?
Is there something in our foodthat we have to pay attention to
?
Is there something in ourtoothpaste, in our water?
(13:25):
I mean, these are all questionsthat you want to be asking
yourself right now.
Lunar nodes, you know, shiftinto Virgo and Pisces, like you
know.
There is a small chance thatthere, you know, there could be
some kind of pathogen, you know,really rearing its ugly head or
something in the next fewmonths, because you know, we do
(13:46):
have that eclipse on March 13th,you know, lunar eclipse in
Virgo, with the south node inVirgo, I think mid-March, I mean
, could be showing us with thenorth node on Neptune, and I
think mid-March, I mean, couldbe showing us with the North
node on Neptune and Saturn inthe sun.
Like that there is some kind oftransmissibility or
communicability with some typeof pathogen or disease that's
percolating, and I'm notsuggesting that it's a
(14:09):
particular pathogen.
I mean I know that the bird fluis being monitored right now.
I mean it could be somethingelse.
It could just be like a reallybad flu season.
It could be some other sort ofillness, but you know this is a
time during Capricorn season, toagain focus on what does your
body need, what does your spiritneed, what does your mind need?
You know how can you stimulateall of these things on a daily
basis.
(14:29):
So maybe you know, allocate acertain amount of time to each
sort of piece of thattriumvirate so that you are
holistically healthy.
And you know, with the North Endand Pisces, I think that people
will find different routes tohealing, whether that is, you
know again, spirituality,finding a spiritual community.
(14:50):
I actually think religion willbecome more popular again, like
I think a lot of people will,you know, partake in like mega
churches or their localsynagogue or mosque or whatever
branch of religion they, youknow, engage in.
I think a lot of people will bedrawn to various religions, and
you know so I'm not trying tomake this like a nutritional
(15:12):
podcast or anything but, like,I'm talking about the topics
that you know people should Imean astrologers should be
addressing head, talking aboutthe topics that you know, um,
people should I mean astrologersshould be addressing head-on.
I mean, you know, and I think alot of astrologers have been
hesitant, partly because, likeduring the pandemic, there was
like a rift over like, okay, howto like deal with it and like,
are we, you know, like what?
(15:33):
What sort of treatment shouldwe write like?
Should we even be like gettinginvolved in like treatment
recommendations?
Right, like that's a that'ssort of a challenging topic to
address, right, especially to.
I mean, it became a reallysensitive subject essentially,
but I still think that, like,it's incumbent upon us to, you
know, focus on like what doesSaturn and Pisces actually mean?
(15:55):
I mean, like Epstein-Barr wasdiscovered when Saturn was in
Pisces, I believe in the 60s,but when Saturn was in Pisces in
that cycle.
But you know, saturn and Piscescan also focus on addiction.
You know, in the mid 90s wedefinitely had the war on drugs,
you know was really front andcenter.
So, you know, saturn and Piscesdoes illuminate lifestyle and
(16:19):
toxic habits and things likethat.
And it illuminates all theunhealthy and healthy ways that
we dissociate from the ego,basically deceived either by,
you know, health practitioners,or where we may have been
deceived by you know healthexperts, or where we may have
(16:45):
deceived ourselves, but again bycompletely shirking
responsibility and saying that,like we don't actually have to,
you know, take ownership of thisor that.
You know, I think this Capricornseason is basically
highlighting Saturn and Pisces,and what makes it different,
though, than last Cap season,which also featured Saturn and
Pisces, is that we do have theMercury-Saturn square very much
in effect right now as the Sunenters Capricorn.
(17:08):
So I actually do want to takethis opportunity to walk
backwards and check out lastCapricorn season to kind of show
you the differences, and checkout last Capricorn season to
kind of show you the differences.
So the last time that the Sunentered Cap and we had the
winter solstice was December21st 2023.
And at that time, we did haveMercury retrograde in Cap, but,
(17:30):
you know, it was not anywherenear squaring Saturn.
It was actually sextilingSaturn, if anything.
So this time around, I thinkthat you know, this
Saturn-Mercury square is reallyagain forcing us to actually
have conversations about health,to maybe have our own reality
checks upon overhearing someoneelse's sobering health
conversation.
(17:50):
So I mean, this is almost likegiving the energy of, you know,
a grandparent maybe dealing withchronic health issues and, you
know, having that discussed in ahospital.
Or, you know, maybe you're atthe hospital witnessing this and
witnessing the doctor tellingyour grandparents that they have
to, you know, basically wake upto the reality that they can no
(18:11):
longer do X, y, z, or they haveto make these adjustments.
And then suddenly the lightbulb goes off in your mind and
you're like, well, now that Ithink about it, I actually
should really deal with this inmy own way.
So, you know, I think there'ssomething to be said for that.
Now, what exactly are wedealing with?
Health-wise, though, like I said, saturn is sweeping in to
expose any poor practices thatwe've been engaged in since
(18:35):
Neptune was in Pisces, which itis still in Pisces, but since
2011, when Neptune enteredPisces, all of that is subject
to be exposed right now, meaning, you know, any deleterious
habits that you've been engagedin over the last 13 years or so
is liable to be scrutinized bySaturn, to be scrutinized by
(18:58):
Saturn, but I think what Saturntypically exposes in Pisces is
chronic conditions orlong-standing bad habits,
because Mars, as a planet, ismuch more sudden, much quicker
to take effect.
So Mars has the energy of likea sudden fire or a sudden
accident or something like that,whereas Saturn is more chronic.
It's like a chronic ailment, orit's like arthritis, or it's
(19:18):
something that is directly, youknow, it's a direct
manifestation of long-termchoices that have added up,
which makes sense, right,because Capricorn shows us that
Saturn is the lord of time,saturn rules Capricorn and so
it's like you know, we're seeinghow all of these choices have
(19:38):
compounded.
So, again, if you're going toreflect on anything, reflect on
longstanding habits, like Idon't know, something that I
went through this year.
You know, I used to have like athird or so of a pint of ice
cream every night.
So I used to go through like apint of ice cream every three
days and I used to think that,well, because I you know, I
(20:05):
don't know I honestly was havingice cream like that much since
I was like 15 or something, andbecause I wasn't really like
seeing it affect me likenegatively in terms of like
weight, I just kind of assumedthat I should be fine.
But then I like I had a wake upcall this year where I was like
no, I really can't continue todo that, like I can't like eat
ice cream every night.
Like that's insane.
Like it doesn't matter if Iwork out or run or whatever,
(20:25):
like if I'm putting that in mybody like that much sugar right
before bed, like that's just abad thing, that's a bad idea.
So I finally like cut ice creamout of my diet this year, even
though I love I mean it's great,I love eating it.
It's like I just had to berealistic because, you know, I'm
experienced.
I experienced the Saturn Mercurysquare the entire year and most
of 2023, because I have Mercuryin Sag.
(20:45):
So if anyone understands theMercury Saturn square lately,
it's me.
I mean, you know.
So, like, take it from me likewe're all experiencing a
miniature version of that with,with the transiting
Mercury-Saturn square, we are,all you know, facing and
confronting these realitiesagain that you know it's like
time to finally cut that out, orit's finally time to, you know,
(21:09):
focus on your glutes or yourthighs or some part of your body
where maybe you haven't been asstrong lately, like whatever it
is.
That's going to be the focus,and I think that, even though
Jupiter is opposing Mercury, Ithink the Saturn square far
outweighs the Jupiter opposition, by the way, because, even
though there's technically aT-square right now, you know the
(21:31):
Saturn square means a lot more,because Saturn deposits the
transiting sun in Capricorn.
You know we're in Capricornseason, so Saturn carries a lot
of weight.
Another theme, though that'scoming up is legalities.
So a lot of legal situationsare coming up.
So Blake Lively, for exampleyou know, you saw, I believe,
she sued one of her co-stars.
I didn't fully dive into thatstory, but that's what I heard
(21:54):
from the news.
So you are seeing legal casescome up and I think that will
continue to be a trend for thenext few weeks.
So a lot of legal cases will bebrought forth, either publicly
or more on a personal level.
So I wanted to highlight that.
Also, some travel difficultiesmay continue.
(22:17):
Uh, so some people may bereconsidering travel based on
weather patterns.
Like maybe you wanted to go tobali, but there's flooding in
bali right now.
Um, and other people willcancel trips because they no
longer want to talk to somebody.
Um, and you know, this isgenerally a week, by the way,
upcoming, where people are notas talkative or social.
(22:38):
People are more reticent,people are more in hermit mode.
I don't know.
I saw a video about theVenus-Jupiter trine.
I think that means something tosome degree, and Venus is an
Aquarius, which can be social.
But the Mercury-Saturn squareis also signaling that it's okay
to hibernate right now, it'sokay not to respond to someone
(22:59):
right away, it's okay.
If someone doesn't respond toyou right away, like genuinely,
with the Mars retrograde beingso kind of enervating, I think
it's okay to just take a stepback and to just relax and watch
a bunch of Harry Potter moviesor something.
So just binge watch somethingIf you ever had to like be a
little bit like kind of lazy.
(23:20):
I think this week is okay forthat.
You know you want to hit theground running on, I believe,
the 30th, with the Cap New Moon,which I'll address in the next
podcast episode, by the way.
But you know, if you have tojust take it easy right now, I
wouldn't.
Yeah, it's December 30th, thatnew moon, yeah, I mean, that's
another point, by the way, we'rein the last quarter moon as I'm
(23:41):
recording this.
We're in a last quarter moonphase.
We're, you know, reaching thatsort of, you know, waning
crescent moon.
This is, you know, this is atime where, even from the lunar
cycle perspective, we're windingdown.
But I promise you, once we getinto, you know, aquarius season,
that Sun-Pluto conjunctionshortly thereafter, you know the
(24:05):
change is going to happen realfast.
I mean, not only because there'sa new administration coming in
around that time, but because,you know, we get this influx of
air energy but during cap season, for a lot of cap season, we
have Venus and Pisces, mercuryand Capricorn.
That's a lot of earth and airMars back into Cancer.
You know that is veryintrospective, that's very
(24:25):
passive, that's very reflective,you know.
But one thing I wanted tohighlight that is really
powerful is the Sun-Marsopposition.
That will happen during Capseason.
The Sun-Mars opposition is thepeak of the synodic cycle of
Mars and the Sun and it isreally the peak of the Mars
retrograde.
So that's when Mars is thebrightest in the sky, that's
(24:47):
when it's the most powerful andalso unhinged.
So that's towards the end ofCap season, jan 15.
Around January 15, people aregoing to be very unhinged, very
Martian, very angry, veryaggressive, you know, and people
and families may be fightingover things, which is very much
a Mars retrograde and cancerphenomenon.
You know we also will have aMercury-Mars opposition.
(25:11):
I believe that's actuallyduring Aquarius season, yes, but
you know, just to call that out, you know there will be a
Mercury-Mars opposition inJanuary, january 23rd.
That's also a time when peopleare very argumentative.
I have a Mars retrogradeopposing Mercury.
Believe me, I understand thisenergy.
It's very quarrelsome but alsoinsatiably curious to like read,
write, communicate, you know,just engage in like a busy daily
(25:37):
life.
I mean it's kind of a hectictime, but that's all to say.
Like Aquarius season is busy,it's real busy.
So right now is okay to likeagain, take it slow, focus on
your health, focus on yourhealth holistically, focus on
your wellness journey, focus onmanaging any chronic conditions.
You know, set resolutions, setnew habits so that you know you
(26:03):
can, you know, live out thismantra that health is wealth.
And you know like, if you'regoing to focus on wealth, like
success, success is measured byyour health, especially during
cap season.
And then, you know, as we getinto Aquarius season, actually
(26:24):
even during cap season, we havethe lunar nodes again shifting
into Virgo and Pisces, whichagain is also going to focus on
health, and with the North Nodein Pisces conjunct Neptune, I do
think a lot of people willstart to to revere these more
like spiritual or religiousmovements again and they will
sort of divert their attentionaway from celebrity.
(26:45):
So this is the collapse of thefalse idols or any you know
celebrities that we put maybethe wrong faith in or we
misplace our faith in them.
We're going to start to focusmore on, like, these sort of
universal truths, these higherpowers, and because of that
we're not going to worshippeople, who you know, people I
(27:06):
mean, we're not going to worshippeople in the physical body as
much.
Of course the mandate at thattime is to ground yourself and
stay grounded.
But you know, we will befocused on getting outside of
our egos, but again in a healthyway.
We don't want to dissociate.
What I don't like about theNorth Node and Pisces to kind of
, you know, build on that is thefact that you know it does
(27:30):
increase the transmissibility ofpathogens because we're
literally melting our boundariesbetween ourselves and a higher
power and ourselves and otherpeople.
So it does make pathogens moretransmissible.
So during COVID we have thenorth and south node of Gemini
and Sag, which are mutable signs.
When the north and south nodesare immutable signs it's more
likely I know this happensfrequently of course the north
(27:51):
and south nodes are mutablesigns but it does make it more
likely that something will becommunicable like a disease.
We also have Chiron stationingdirect, I believe December 29th,
during cap season.
So even Chiron StationingDirect is emphasizing health and
healing and, you know,re-strengthening and
revitalizing ourselves, becauseit's in the sign of Aries which
(28:11):
is all about the masculine andthe individual willpower and our
strength.
So, yeah, I mean there's a lotof things highlighted there that
I've mentioned today.
The other thing I just would addon is that you know Saturn in
Pisces does emphasize floodingrisks, water-related disasters.
So, you know, close yourwindows during a snowstorm,
(28:33):
obviously, check for any leaksin your home, seal those up, be
careful while driving.
And inclement weather, any wet,you know, rain, sleet, snow
kind of stuff.
And, by the way, the healthchoices you make right now will
be re-scrutinized in seven years.
So one quarter of a Saturncycle, so around 2032, when
(28:54):
Saturn, I believe, is in lateGemini.
You know, literally like thethings that you do right now I
think are being evaluated eventhen.
So this is not a low stakestime.
I mean, this is a incrediblyconsequential Saturn transit and
Saturn's going to meet up withNeptune co-presents in Aries
(29:16):
this summer or in May of 2025.
So even by then, you knowthat's a health reckoning.
I mean, you know, probably areckoning for the healthcare
system in general.
You know people are going tolike maybe decide.
Well, you know, maybe I want todivest from the healthcare and
like whole healthcare thing Iwant to focus on.
(29:37):
I don't know, like maybe Imentioned this on the last
podcast, but I just wonder ifthere's going to be communities
of healthy people that arebasically like created in
isolation and like a situationwhere people can like live in a
completely different society ofhealthy people where they don't
have to pay that much forhealthcare because of that.
I mean I know that, for example, like when I used to work for a
(29:58):
startup, like we used to getlike free healthcare because,
like everybody at the companywas like really young.
So I mean there may be like newhealthcare models that come up
over the next year that arecreated, or like honestly
different societies where peoplelive off of like localized food
, decentralized everything, blah, blah, blah, new spiritual
communities popping up, but Ithink like the cost of
(30:19):
healthcare will be underscoredover the next year.
I also think, um, again, peoplewill be focusing on health
differently and there's a wholeset of other meanings with
Saturn and Pisces, these areit's going to highlight massive
achievements in the arts andmusic and film, and again, maybe
(30:45):
new spiritual communities willbe built or something or formed.
That's all true, but I think,for the sake of like focusing on
pragmatic things that arereally high value for you right
now.
You know, this Capricorn seasonis showing that there are health
situations that cannot beignored, both at a collective
scale and at an individual level.
(31:07):
So focus on that.
I talked about this last weekas well, but edit your book,
edit your written work, finishup any writing or communications
things you know.
Finish up any, yeah, anywriting or communications things
.
And I think that, again, aslong as you focus on your
long-term health right now,managing chronic conditions and
(31:29):
sort of projecting out andextrapolating, like sort of the
effects of your choices and yourlifestyle, and even, again,
balancing out your mental,spiritual and physical health, I
think, as long as you do allthose things, capricorn season
should be good for you.
Again, it's not the mostexciting season this time.
I'm not saying that everyCapricorn season is boring, by
the way, but like this Capricornseason, you know, is really
(31:56):
really heavily focused on thatand again honestly also focusing
on how you can manage likeflood risks and any water
related damage and I talkedabout this on another platform
recently, but like I don't know,with the Saturn Neptune
conjunction coming up, Ipersonally would be very
cautious about like living likesuper, super close to a
coastline that's, like you know,prone to flooding or prone to,
(32:21):
you know, any kind of like.
And, again, it's not just thecoastline, it could be like rain
related damage in like themiddle of the country or
something.
But, like you know, just reallypay attention over the next
year and a half to any floodrisks that may be arising in
your community.
So, anyways, thank you so much.
