The stars made me do it. Welcome back to the Stars made
me do it. It's my birthday.
I was like. Wait, should we?
Have you been throwing your own birthday episode?
I know I'm like, wait, maybe I should have asked me to do it,
but it's too late now. Welcome.
Back to the Stars made me do it.It's Sierra's birthday.
(00:32):
Go wish her happy birthday. If you're listening the day this
comes out, you got four days to prepare.
All right, write her a really heartfelt love note.
OK, That's all she needs. That's all I ever want.
I'm a words of affirmation. Love language guys.
Just a nice long. To the Gemini Mars episode.
So today we are going to discussSierra's birthday, looking at
(00:55):
her solar return chart, as well as talking a little bit about
perfections. And if you don't know what those
are, we've got a couple of theseepisodes out now.
We've done birthday episodes twoor three years now where we look
at what's called a solar return chart.
So you may know of a Saturn return when Saturn returns to
where it was the moment you wereborn.
(01:15):
Well, once a year, pretty much aday before, after or on your
birthday, the sun returns to exactly where it was the moment
that you were born. And then we look at that chart
and we say, you know what? This is what the rest, this is
what this year is going to bringup for you.
It reflects the upcoming year ahead.
And that's what we're gonna lookat today for Sierra.
(01:38):
Yeah, I really love the solar return concept and and just the
idea. Mine is so like, I just, I guess
I love being a 0° sage because my, my son is 0.00°.
And so we then find 0.00° of this year, take a picture of
that chart and project it. And I love always being the one
(02:00):
to ring in the Sagittarius season, you know?
But also if you did not listen to Mimi's birthday episode, we
had really cool discussions about solar return charts with
Hannah from Hannah's elsewhere. And we all came with like a
little bit of a different solar return energy.
And we debated if, you know, forany sort of birth chart, you use
(02:22):
a location to determine where the planets are and what the
rising is, especially the rising.
And so in the episode for Mimi'sbirthday back in April with
Hannah, we all had kind of different risings that we're
looking at. And Hannah uses the original
birth location and Mimi and I were in a kind of not a debate,
(02:43):
but in a well, we. Were undecided.
Yeah, yeah. We were undecided of if the
location where you spend the majority of your year or if the
location where you spend your birthday determines that rising
sign. So we kind of played with all
charts. We looked at where Mimi was
going to spend most of her year,where she was born and then
(03:04):
where she was on her birthday. And they had three.
It was 3 very different risings.Loved that we did that too,
because I can very confidently say now I've experienced over
half of, you know, this year forme since my birthday and I will
always use the place that I celebrated my birthday.
(03:24):
It is the energy that you are infused with the moment you turn
this new age. And for me, I celebrated my
birthday in a foreign country that I've never been in, right?
It's not a country that I spent a lot of time in.
It's not a country I'm going to spend a lot of time in this
year, but it's where I celebrated my birthday.
And when I look at the three charts that we laid out for that
(03:45):
solo return episode, I 1000% cansee this.
You know the Spain location solar return chart for this year
because it's giving me cancer rising.
And holy crap. If you want to know how much
cancer rising I'm experiencing, go check us out on Patreon.
You could go do that. patreon.com/the Stars made me do
it or follow us on Instagram andTikTok at the Stars Made Me
(04:08):
podcast. Go give Sierra's business some
love for her birthday or just because it's amazing at Magical
Book Club. That's also on Patreon.
And then her website, issierraautumn.com.
And then you can go check out mywebsite,
harveymountainalchemy.com. I got Sagittarius candles coming
on a discount very, very soon. And yeah, so let's talk a little
(04:29):
bit about, I mean, I think you're bringing a Placidus
version, right? And I'm gonna bring the whole
sign version. So we are gonna have a little
bit of a discussion of like, OK,what are the differences here?
And then throughout the year, you can see like, oh, actually I
am having this 4th house sun or you know what?
No, I am having a third house sun year.
I can really feel that. So it's gonna be really
interesting to just see how it plays out.
(04:50):
And I love using astrology in this real time way to determine,
OK, what is my personal philosophy and what is my
practice because of the experience that I've had.
I know I need to retroactively look back at this past solar
return and I I want you to do. A little reflective, yeah.
Yeah, like where this like if I think my house was, if I think
(05:13):
my son was in this house or thathouse, you know, based on
Placidus or whole sign. And if you would like to know
more, we also have an episode ofPlacidus versus whole sign.
And basically in Placidus you can have more than one sign in a
house and in whole sign you haveone sign per house.
So actually this year it is going to shift pretty major
(05:34):
difference, you know in between Plastus and Holstein because for
my solar return coming up 2025, my rising is 28° Virgo.
And so it is at the very tail end.
So for me in this Placidus chart, I've got Libra in that
first house entirely, but the chart that Mimi is going to be
looking at is going to have the entire first house filled with
(05:55):
Virgo. So we have, we're going to have
different same, same content, but different, little different
perspective. Yeah, exactly.
And I, I am curious, you know, this year, this past year, 2024
to 2025 in whole sign you had a 6th house solar return year, but
(06:17):
in Placidus you had a 5th house solar return year.
And you know what? Like you can see both, you know.
You could see both also because I had a Leo moon so it's like
5th house, you know? Yeah, passions for the heart
like expression of self, but I also think about the amount of
admin and things you had to takecare of on a daily basis and
(06:40):
reestablishing your routine, your mental health, your
physical health. That came up this year as well.
That's so true. Yeah.
Oh, that's so interesting to think about.
It's like it again brings us back to that placidus versus
whole sign where we can really see a lot of the inner world and
placidus and a lot of the like, life happening in whole sign,
(07:01):
you know, because I can see lifehappening to me.
Forced that 6th house a little bit more, but then like Inner
World with that 5th house. Yeah, I see that totally.
Yeah. So definitely if anybody's
interested in a solo return reading, check out either Sierra
or my websites, sierraautumn.comor Harvey Mountain alchemy.com.
(07:21):
We both offer a plethora of different astrological readings.
So if you're curious what's going on for you, if your
birthday's coming up or your birthday was in the last two
months or so, I think it's typically a good time to check
out your solo return chart. So a couple of episodes I
thought would be good to plug before we get into talking about
your upcoming year. Definitely the previous birthday
(07:43):
episodes if you're into this. And these are episodes which are
more like seeing how astrologersuse astrology in real time, you
know, like reading a chart, analyzing, interpreting and
discussing. And then also we have a
perfections and progressions episode, which I believe is also
a birthday episode, but it goes a little bit more in depth about
what is a perfection, what is a progression, etcetera, because
(08:06):
progressions are very different from the solar return.
But it's also a timing techniqueor a more predictive technique
in astrology. That's extremely fascinating if
that's kind of the the reason you love astrology or what you
use astrology for. Yeah, yeah.
I didn't look into the perfections at all, so I'm
excited to see what you have to say about.
(08:26):
That yeah. So let's get into it.
Perfection is basically there's a wheel and every single year
one house in your chart is more activated than the others
according to perfection years. And it sounds like perfection.
It's PRO affection, not perfection as in you are perfect
(08:46):
but for you. I am.
But for you, you are perfect, mydear Julio Moon year for Sierra
here going into 35 years old andthis is true for anyone who's
35. You're having a 12th house
perfected year. So we're just going to look at
(09:07):
the blanket of what does 12th house represent?
The 12th house represents your spiritual connection.
It represents unfinished business getting resolved.
Ideally it represents right tiedto that unfinished business.
It represents pregnancy and alsoconnection to the mother
through, you know, a deeper connection, not just like
(09:29):
relational but also your connection to yourself reflected
by the connection with your mother.
It's retreats, isolation, both positive and negative.
So this for me, I would say is just a big year for you
spiritually to really discover your own connection to the fine
in a new way. You're already a very
(09:51):
spiritually LED person. You're already very connected to
your guides. You, you know, it really reminds
me of when you had a Scorpio moon year in the. 12th House.
But I was thinking, you know. Where that was a really big year
for you, where you were unblocked in so many ways and
you discovered this past life asa scribe and you were able to
really connect to new methodologies of of, you know,
(10:13):
spiritual communications and stuff and like mediumship.
So I could absolutely see this year being one where you get
another level up, right. And then we also, for
perfections, look at what's called the Time Lord, which I
just think is so like freaking cool sounding.
I love that, I love that. Who's my Time Lord this year?
Who's the Lord of the time? For me, I use whole sign
(10:37):
especially for perfections because perfection is a very
traditional astrology tool. I'm going to use the more
traditional housing system, which is the whole sign.
So for you being a Sagittarius rising, the 12th house is just
above that first house. It's ruled by Scorpio in your
chart. So then we look at the planet,
or in this case planets that rule, that sign, traditionally
(11:00):
it's Mars. So Mars is really that main Time
Lord because it's the one that'sgoing to be making more moves
throughout the year. But we're also going to factor
in the fact that Pluto is a TimeLord for you and there's deep,
slow moving transformation that's occurring throughout this
year and it's sometimes going tobe completely beneath the
surface. You're not recognizing it's
(11:22):
happening until Mars kind of plays a factor and makes you
confront the fact that it's happening.
So there's a lot of deep changesthat might be going on beneath
the surface that you're not aware of.
And then they suddenly become like part of your awareness and
part of your consciousness. So there's a lot of
communication between earthly and spiritual realms.
(11:43):
You know, that's really interesting.
I'm like, I'm here for another up levelling of even though man,
what a year that was with that Scorpio moon in the 12th house,
a solar return, but it was like life changing.
It was genuinely a life changingyear for me.
And it is interesting that yes, perfections and Time Lords are
traditional astrology, but I do always like to look at the
Placid side of things. And that would be Sagittarius
(12:05):
and that would be Jupiter. And I in my optimistic ways, I'm
like, OK, I'm going to have a 12plus perfection.
You're like, let it be Jupiter. That's ruling it, please.
Well. Yeah, I mean, but there's a huge
difference. And that's going to be something
where you're going to really know the difference.
Like, OK, is Mars and Mars and Pluto ruling me or is Jupiter
(12:26):
ruling me? And so with Time Lords, for
anybody else who's following this, if you're like, if you've
calculated your Time Lord, for example, if you just turned 35
and you are a Taurus rising, then that means you've got Aries
on the 12th, you got Mars as your Time Lord.
What you want to do with that and what's your will do with
that throughout the year is lookat what these planets are doing
(12:47):
in the sky currently. It's not looking at your Natal
Mars, not looking at your Natal Pluto.
It's looking at what these planets are doing right now in
the sky and how they're affecting your Natal chart.
And there's just a little extra emphasis on these planets in
relation to your Natal planets. So we know that Pluto is
traveling through in Placidus inyour second house, in wholesine
(13:10):
in your third house. So we might find that for me,
I'm going to be looking at wholesign.
If you're having a 12th house perfected year with the Time
Lord transiting your third house, a lot of jargon.
But if you're if you're keeping up, you're fucking sick.
And if you're not, you're also awesome.
But Pluto in your third house here, I feel like this is deeply
transforming your sense of community because of that
(13:33):
connection to the spiritual. And I can really see you
offering more retreats, you offering more healing services,
you putting yourself in the community, implanting yourself
more in the community as a healer and as a source of
spiritual connection for others.I love that and I already see
that building and all the connections that I have made, so
(13:56):
that that checks out and I love that.
Yeah. And then Mars, of course moves
through the signs a lot more. So we'll actually be, you know,
you'll be experiencing Mars transiting almost, you know,
probably 2/3 of your chart throughout the next year.
So starting with I believe probably the 9th house and then
moving through to the 5th. On my Oh yeah, OK, because it's.
(14:16):
Probably starting in Leo or or Virgo around your birthday and
then it'll get down to like Taurus or so.
Yeah, when on my birthday, Mars will be in Sagittarius because I
have Mars in that solar return. So I'm loving that and it'll.
So we'll start off with Sage andat least, yeah, maybe get
through a good amount of them. Yeah.
(14:37):
So that's the perfection. That's what we'll look at for
perfections, perfection, years, etcetera.
Now for Sierra's solar return, it's on your birthday exactly,
and it's literally in France. Time I or no it's central is
2:36 AM. Yes.
I believe is that France time? Yes.
(14:59):
Yes, OK. Great.
So in the US it's it's happeningon the 21st, but luckily you're
in France. So it's happening.
It's happening on your exact birthday.
For your solar return, the firstthing we want to look at is what
house your sun is in, right? It's called the solar return.
The main focus here is the sun. So we pay attention to anything
(15:20):
that's affecting the sun, AKA the sign won't change because
that's the whole point. But the house will change.
And then any other planets that are aspecting or affecting that
sun. And I will say I feel like your
sun is chilling. Like besides this Pluto sextal
at Pluto is at 1° Aquarius and your Natal sun is at 0°
(15:43):
Sagittarius. You're already experiencing
this, so you're pretty used to this.
Gonna keep experience, yeah, but.
The house that your son is in for whole sign, and I know this
is going to change for, you know, Placidus, the chart that
you're looking at, it's in the 4th house.
So this is a major focus. And in Sagittarius, which as we
always like kind of discuss, like Sagittarius is this
(16:04):
freedom, nomadic energy. And then 4th house is complete,
like settling into your sacred safe space, like it's a cave
versus like like traveling on a plane, you know, where you just
go anywhere at any time. So there's a lot of discovering
(16:25):
how freedom and domesticity don't have to be completely like
exclusive of one another and discovering really your deeper
Sagittarius needs as opposed to your more like surface or, I
don't know, like light hearted, such the energy.
(16:47):
I feel like it's really exploring the emotional needs
that your Sagittarius placementshave that you've been focusing
so much of your emotional needs towards, you know, the Capricorn
side of you, but done discovering what emotional
fulfillment your Sagittarius placements need as well.
I really do love that in wholesine energy and in
(17:08):
Placidus, the 4th house is intercepted.
So I wonder, like either way, itfeels like it's going to be like
a very inner world. You know, it's intercepted in
Capricorn in, in Placidus for the solar return chart.
But I love the idea of having that sun in the 4th house and
the idea of, you know, that 4th House Energy, which is very
(17:28):
nurturing home and nesting and comfort and mothering and all of
that energy. And to have the Sagittarius sun
that's like, let me explore, letme travel, let me leave and come
back home, though, like I reallylike that idea.
That's been a really, you know, this year has been a lot.
And to have a place that feels like home.
(17:52):
My, my past year, my 2024 solar return was a Cancer rising year.
And I went through all of the emotions.
And then Jupiter was in Cancer, which is my chart ruler, you
know, being in Cancer. And so now I'm shifting to this
4th House Energy, which is, you know, with similar notes to
that. And I really like the idea of
seeing how Sagittarius can be like, yes, go explore, but then
(18:17):
come home or explore in a different way that you haven't
before. That's exactly, yeah, what I'm
seeing as well. Because then the only other
aspect that we've got to your son is an out of sign aspect.
So Uranus is opposing your son, but it's at 29° of Taurus,
whereas your son is at 0° of Sagittarius.
So it's out of sign because if Uranus were just one degree
(18:40):
further, like if Uranus were into Gemini, it would be an
exact opposition. We do have an opposition and
it's within that five degree orb, but it's in a different
sign. So it's not that polarity that
we're used to of Gemini sage or Taurus Scorpio.
But I find it really interestingthat we have this Uranus in
Taurus back in like shifting what we were so determined on
(19:03):
what we what was so conventionally solidly built.
And it's in the 9th House of travel, education, exploration,
philosophy, faith, all of these things.
So it's still like it's really defining what your Sagittarian
needs are again, or like redefining what travel fulfills
(19:25):
for you at this point. And that's something that no
matter which system we look at, it is Uranus and Taurus in the
9th house. And I really like looking at
the, you know, overlaps when we change, when we like change
different chart systems because it's like no matter what, that's
where that planet is. And so that feels like that
energy to me is, you know, double down on it like that,
(19:49):
that uranium energy in the 9th house, but in Taurus, yeah, like
restructuring what that all means.
Yeah. And then the last thing I look
at for the sun in this chart, because you do have very little
mitigating it, which, you know, honestly feels a little calm,
which is nice. But the last thing I wanted to
look at was. Was the ruler of the sun as we
(20:10):
know the ruler of Sagittarius isJupiter and the ruler in this
solar return. Jupiter is in Cancer and in the
11th house and it's retrograded,which I know you you give weight
to. So I just wanted to make a
little note of that. But what's mitigating this sun
in the 4th House of really connecting to your own personal
needs, your sense of home and also what freedom means to you
(20:33):
is is exploring travel. I think you're definitely this
is a year to travel with friends.
I think this is a year to explore really new places as
opposed to traveling to where you've become really accustomed
to traveling. Or I think it's expanding on
your home life because it's cancer through shared
(20:56):
experiences with like minded people.
So it's that exploration. Maybe it's not through foreign
travel, but instead it's exploration of new spaces that
you host workshops in or host retreats in.
And it's about real connection and nurture and again, that
healing energy of cancer with itbeing in the 11th house.
(21:16):
I love that. I really love that.
And in Placid, as I see it's in the 10th and it's intercepted.
And so that and yeah, I do really like looking at when
things are retrograde. And for me when whenever there's
Jupiter retrograde, it's so powerful to believe in the power
of your own luck. And and that is the thing that
(21:38):
it's not an outside force comingin.
It's that inner faith that brings it out.
And so I think, you know, whether that be work related in
that 10th House of being like, no, I just believe in myself.
And also because it is that Cancerian energy which can then,
you know, we can also find commonalities if we were to look
at that whole sign with the 4th House Energy.
(21:59):
Something about like, you know, the way in which you feel and
nurture and move through all of the emotions in your life.
And maybe in work versus home life, because those are those
intercepted houses, you know, believing that you are lucky,
even if you're not exactly sure how that exploration's gonna go.
(22:23):
Yeah, I feel like this also is showing that you're going to
really expand emotionally through your friendships of like
gaining close. And I feel like you have been in
this last year, like really found more friends that you can
be the less put together versionof you, you know, because you
had no other choice. You, you know, there were
(22:43):
moments you needed simply to be emotionally supported and you
saw which friends came out. And I feel like this year it's
just more development of that. Yeah, I think that because I
didn't have a choice and all of the emotional turmoil that I
went through last year, I think that now it's almost like
because I still have, I wouldn'teven I don't even think I have
(23:04):
that many new friends. It's more that I have deeper
friendships of the people that Iknow.
And therefore friendships can expand in different ways, which
is very Jupiterian. You know, they can expand in
different ways because in general I'm not that same put
together version of me all the time that I was and like and
feeling that kind of cancer likewe love you anyways, like being
(23:26):
held in that way. Yeah.
Oh, and we're going to get to the moon.
Well, why don't we get to the moon right now?
Because the moon is actually in the same placement as your sun.
You're born, your solar return is right after the new moon in
Sagittarius. So your sun and moon are in the
same sign of Sagittarius and in this chart also in the 4th
house. And I just want to differentiate
(23:47):
because I think I talked a lot about emotional needs with the
sun, which in the 4th house that's going to be, you know,
relevant anyway. But I think also wanted to make
a note of you're going to shine through the through your
emotional revelations. And like, it's going, it's not
gonna be as hidden, which your Capricorn moon natally is.
Like, we lock it down, we keep it close, you know, like you
(24:08):
just get it. You've just gone through this
Cancer rising year where there was a little bit of like, fuck,
I, like, I need to cry right now.
And I'm around a bunch of peopleand they're gonna see.
It I'm crying. Here we go.
Yeah. And I do feel like this year
feels like a, a stronger, more confident version of that where
the sun is there. So you're sitting in your solar
power, but you are still in needof shining light on what you're
(24:32):
feeling and having the audacity and the bravery with that
Sagittarius fire energy to do itwithout questioning if it's, you
know, if people are like, Oh my God, she's not reliable anymore
because she's having feelings. Oh my gosh, that just gave me
such a like, I'm about to throw up.
She's not reliable anymore because she's having feelings.
(24:53):
Every Capricorn moon's nightmare, everything they try
to avoid. Oh my God.
But like I was, I was feeling good about it until you said
those words. But.
No, but that's just so empowering.
It's so incredible that you knowyou're going to feel empowered
through it, which you know you don't have that quite yet
because you're not, you're not in the solar return year.
But this year you will start to feel more power in your ability
(25:16):
to feel and to share your feelings without your feelings
bogging you down, which Cancer shares their feelings when
they're in the throes of it and they are weighing them down and
they feel like they're drowning.But Sagittarius, when they're
able to express their deep emotion, there's still a sense
of optimism, right? A sense of we're going to get
through this. But I also I'm going to really
(25:37):
share my personal truth, which is I'm having some emotions I
need to express. Yeah, I am looking forward to
this Sag like sun and moon year.And it is interesting because it
isn't technically a new moon because the my moon is at 19°
and the sun is at 0. So like we just exited Scorpio
season. And so it's almost like a false
(25:58):
new moon. And I love that.
I get that, you know, I get the sun and moon even though it's
not technically a new moon. But I really am looking forward
to that Sag moon energy because there is such a lighter feeling
like I, I've got so much sag in my chart, like I know how it
goes, but man, that Capricorn moon is heavy.
And so, and I've also come off of a year of having a Leo moon
(26:21):
and I did my, my solar return did this to me the past couple
years where it was like I had every water moon to experience
or every water placement to experience.
And now, you know, I came from this Leo fiery moon to the Sag
fiery moon. And I am looking forward to
seeing how that shows in a exploratory way, but also as a
Sagittarius sun, Sagittarius rising.
(26:43):
And we think of your top three being like, you know, that
classic what we look at. I, I don't have that.
The Sag moon is the piece that'smissing.
And so I'm excited to feel through what a Sag moon feels
through since I'm so used to thesun and rising part of it.
Yeah. And I think that that is going
to show up more as like, OK, when do I need to settle into my
(27:04):
space versus when is it better for my mental health, not an
escapist tendency, but better for my mental health to go
explore somewhere new and have ahave fun.
It's like when is the time to essentially wallow or sit in my
emotions versus when is the timeto, you know, let go and move
forward and enjoy life. And if I'm looking at this from
(27:27):
a Placidus perspective, all thissag is in the 3rd house too.
And so like, that just seems like extra, I mean, Sagittarius
is very connected with people anyways, but this feels like
more friends and community and yeah, just being like, yeah,
like let me explore especially, you know, come on France, come
on through with paperwork. But like, until then, I am only
(27:49):
gonna be able to be doing local travel.
So, you know, I, I really like that idea of just a social
nature and feeling good with connecting with other people,
feeling good by doing things in the community, feeling good by,
you know, building that type of networking in my area.
Yeah. And I do want to just throw in
there, the most beautiful thing about this moon is that it's in
(28:12):
mutual reception with Jupiter. So moon is in Jupiter sign sad,
and then Jupiter's in the moon sign Cancer and Jupiter's very
happy in Cancer. So these are working really well
together. I didn't even realize that.
Yeah, that's gonna be something very cool to feel through too,
because in my Natal chart I havemutual reception with my son and
(28:33):
Jupiter, but now I'm going to behaving Moon and Jupiter.
Yeah. That is beautiful.
Oh, I'm excited. Yeah, something that is quite
potent in this chart is that your moon is square the nodes.
So this is a little bit more push and pull where, you know,
the sun was pretty chill. Like you got Pluto sextile.
(28:56):
And we know transformation is coming, especially with Pluto
being in the 6th house. It's like your routine and your
work, your day-to-day is going to shift.
So I can see schedule changes we'll have to talk about when
the podcast gets recorded. But also just like generally
your repeated workshops, your repeated sessions, like all of
these things, your schedule is going to transform in ways that
(29:18):
are unexpected. So that's kind of last sun, sun
thing. But your moon being square, the
nodes in these, Oh my gosh, I'm blanking on, on these angular
houses, which are kind of the most potent houses in the chart.
1st, 4th, 7th and 10th are the most like dynamic potent houses
in the chart. So we've got three out of four
(29:40):
of those really activated here and it's activating your sense
of purpose. And I think it's really pushing
you to surrender when it comes to one-on-one personal
relationships. And it's going to be a little
tough. You're basically in this chart,
the North Node is in Pisces in the 7th.
So there's this element of really releasing control,
(30:01):
letting go, surrendering and like deep karmic connection on a
one-on-one personal relationship, which for a moon
and Saj that just craves that independence and that freedom.
I'm not saying it's going to be hard, but I am saying like
they'll be the conversation within yourself of like, oh, I'm
noticing that I really want to just be free right now, but this
(30:22):
person is asking this of me and I respect their needs too.
And so like having that internalconversation with yourself and
then that S note in Virgo in thefirst, like letting go of some
of that, what this is the way things are.
And like, well, this is what makes sense to me because
sharing, you know, any kind of time or space with one other
person, whether it's friendly, familial or romantic, like,
(30:45):
means like compromising a littlebit on what your reality is, how
they differ. So I do see that S node in Virgo
challenging your moon of like, yeah, we know what your personal
truth is, but you got to kind oflet go of what you believe is
what makes sense in order to really surrender and experience
this more deep soul bond in yourrelationships.
(31:08):
Does that make sense? I really love that.
And I also really love that Sagittarius and Pisces are
sharing this Jupiter in Cancer during this time too, because it
feels like that is like, you know, that's always the
commonality between Sagittarius and Pisces is that is that
Jupiter And and yeah, I can see how there is that like, OK, now
(31:30):
that we're Pisces feels everything and the moon is our
feelings. And so but the feelings of
freedom, but then leaning towards that surrendering of
like you, you don't know what isgoing to happen.
You just like you need to trust in your relationships versus
that first house S node in Virgobeing like you need to release
(31:51):
all of the little detailed routine of how you've how you've
lived for you and then figure out how the Sagittarius can find
freedom within that space. And then, and then in the
Placidus version, it's the Northnode in the 6th and the South
node in the 12th. And so that's really interesting
(32:12):
because you've got this Pisces energy and a Virgo adjacent
house and this Virgo energy and a Pisces adjacent house.
And so it feels like it's going to be, you know, looking at it
maybe on a more internal level, like where is it that you need
to just let what feel good dictate your routine?
And where is it where you need to let go of Like you don't have
(32:35):
to be the perfect devoted this person like in this way to your
spiritual practice. Like it seems a little bit yeah,
there's a lot of Gray area in both the like your grounded
routine and your completely disconnected spiritual like side
of things. And and both of those are really
like showing me a theme of surrender.
(32:57):
N node and Pisces in the six andthen S node and Virgo in the
12th. Like both of those are like, you
got to surrender to what the everyday minutia is saying.
And you've got to like, let whatis being shown to you, what
maybe doesn't make sense, be thething that you let be true.
And your daily routine, implementing your healing
(33:18):
services, again, it just like feels like, hey, your day-to-day
is Pisces vibes. Yeah, you're leaning into your
spiritual being an offering, right?
Being of service to others through spiritual means.
Love. And then the last thing I've got
for the moon in Sage in the 4th house is that it's Trine Chiron
in Aries in the 8th house, her whole sign.
(33:38):
And I loved what you said about the South node in Virgo in the
first, like living life for you.Because I feel like again, there
was this element of freedom and autonomy and independence that
is really, really attached rightto your full body, your nervous
system, all just is deeply attached to the idea of
(34:00):
autonomy, freedom and independence.
And I feel like it could be extremely healing for you to
explore what it is that how it is you've lived just for you
versus, you know, those oppositeenergies, Libra, of like, what
do I do in my partnership? And like the 8th house being a
House of intimacy, like where you maybe have lived in survival
(34:24):
mode when it comes to being in that vulnerable space or that
intimate space and that really working so beautifully with your
moon and like having this wonderful communication with one
another. I really love that they're
interacting with one another in that like trying way, like in a
harmonious way. And also also like in Placidus,
(34:44):
Chiron is in the 8th. And so I really like that
another one that stays the same there.
And this is really interesting when I think of, so we're
looking at the solar return right now, but in my Natal
chart, I have Chiron and Cancer in the 8th.
And this solar return Jupiter inCancer is right on top of my
Natal Chiron in Cancer. And so I feel like I'm having
(35:08):
this like, you know, in the, thesolar return Chiron in Aries is
technically square my Chiron, myNatal Chiron in Cancer.
And so it's going to be like, I think that is going to show me a
lot of themes of that same 8th House Energy that I deal with on
a everyday life basis. Not looking at a Natal or sorry,
(35:31):
not looking at solar return, butjust in my Natal chart.
And then adding that Aries element though, where it, it's
almost like being a little bit more selfish in those areas and
having that support from the moon, but then having that
Jupiter like still, at least in those first few moments, like
passing right over my Natal Chiron, it's going to be a lot
(35:54):
of 8th house themed healing, which like woof.
I know well in this chart too, like you know, I don't have it
in my notes because I was just going to focus on sun, moon and
rising because otherwise we'd behere forever.
But like, you do have this Jupiter and Cancer in your solar
return square, Chiron in Aries, like by 1°, they're both
retrograde too. So it's a real internal dialogue
(36:16):
that you're having with, you know, the many voices in your
head. So like Chiron and Aries and the
8th, like I said, like these themes of the self and intimacy
and sharing and being vulnerableand healing and obviously like
healing through the occult. And then we've got Jupiter and
Cancer, which is like craving connection in your close
friendships, but also in big groups and they're squaring one
(36:39):
another. So again, it's going to be the
conversation of like, do I need to have time alone right now or
am I really craving some social interaction?
Yeah. And also just looking at this,
you know, this is going beyond Sun, moon and rising.
But the big thing that's just like staring at me in this whole
return chart is I have a grand water trine this year, like I
(36:59):
have Mercury. It's and it's retrograde.
It's a triple retrograde, Yeah, yeah, a grand water trine
because I have Mercury in Scorpio retrograde trine this,
you know, conjunction of Saturn and Neptune, both retrograde and
Pisces trine, Jupiter retrogradeand Cancer, like they are all
(37:21):
within like almost exact degreesof one another.
And that is going to be like, I feel like that just sometimes a
chart has a theme and like this feels like that extra like
intuitive spiritual world theme because the communication with
then, you know, lessons, but also Neptune like that, you
(37:42):
know, that's another spiritual world And having the ruler of
Pisces being Neptune and it's being in Pisces and then
interacting with that Jupiter inCancer and that having so much
influence on all my Sagittarius.Like this feels like a very what
you said about up leveling in spiritual gifts and up level up
leveling in then using those forworking purposes.
(38:06):
That just checks out for me. Yeah.
I think on the one hand, this like could be a year where you
feel majorly misunderstood externally because you're going
through such an internal processthat's really renewing your
understanding of yourself. And then on the other hand,
you'll be able to eventually externalize all that you've
(38:26):
learned and processed emotionally and spiritually to,
you know, be of service to others.
Which brings me to your rising, which is the.
You know, it's like, tell me, tell me about this Virgo rising.
You got this Virgo rising 28° Virgo rising and I thought for
funsies I would pull the Sabian symbol.
Yay. So for anybody who doesn't know,
(38:47):
I already forgot his name. He's a white guy.
He wrote this book for the Sabian symbols where every
single degree of every single sign has this symbol.
I really should find the name. It starts with AD Dale daily.
I don't know, but the Sabian symbol for 28° Virgo is a seeker
(39:10):
after occult knowledge. Is reading an ancient scroll
which illumines his mind. I knew.
Shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up.
Up Sierra's alley like it is so mystical and I looked at the
next degree and the degree before because I was like damn
this is so Sierra friendly and it like in the description of it
(39:32):
it really talks about like expanding your mind through
occult knowledge and just like being illuminated.
It almost feels like one of those Harry Potter scenes where
there's gold light coming from abook and he's.
Just my dream, my dream. He's absorbing it all and that's
what it feels like with this Virgo rising, this Sabian symbol
for that degree in Virgo. And then we know that Virgo is a
(39:53):
service provider. You know, it is AI mean, it's
work, right? It's our daily, it's our
day-to-day, it's our routine, etcetera.
So there is an element of organization this year that you
will have and I feel like it's going to really help with
compartmentalizing all of your kind of experiences and all
areas of life that you're going to have throughout this year.
(40:14):
But I really see this again reiterating that being of
service to others and then again, like strength.
Happening that constant conversation with yourself of
like, is this a moment where I'mgiving and really feel like
renewed and recharged for being a service?
Or is this a moment where I feellike I'm over giving as a form
to of escaping my own personal needs?
(40:38):
I really am so tickled by that savings and, and I love how it
comes into play with everything that we've mentioned already and
how it just further brings this up leveling of everything that I
experienced like 2022 solar return with that Scorpio moon in
(40:59):
the 12th. And there's, I don't have
Scorpio moon in the 12th, but you can see how like so many
similar energies get brought up through different placements
when you need to like learn or experience things in different
ways. And so I'm really that even
though it was a lot, it also really excites me to think of
(41:20):
what new things get to be revealed and explored.
And especially with the Sage Moon, that's going to be like,
keep it light, keep it light. Like you're going through a lot,
but it's okay. Have fun.
Yeah, and there is one last thing I want to talk about with
this rising. We're not done quite yet.
Before we get there, Dane Rudyer, an astrological mandala,
the cycle of transformations, and it's 360 symbolic phases.
(41:43):
So if anybody's interested, you can access it.
You can access the entire 400 page book through PDF online.
I just have it saved in my bookmarks because I like to
access it every now and then. So Dane Rudyer, that's his name.
The last thing I'm going to lookat for the solar return is the
ruler of your rising, AKA your chart ruler for this year.
And you already touched on it a little bit, but Mercury is the
(42:05):
sign or the planet that rules the sign Virgo, which is your
rising sign. So this is the chart ruler for
this solar return chart. We have it at 26° of Scorpio and
like you mentioned, retrograde exactly conjunct Lilith.
I mean, they are both right nextto each other, 26° of Scorpio.
And then Mercury's in there or not Mercury, sorry, Venus is in
(42:26):
there 18° of Scorpio. So it's in a loose conjunction
as well. I like to keep to a 5° or but if
we stretch to seven, you know, we're feeling funky.
So Venus is in there too. So, and it's in this third house
for the whole sign chart. So regardless whether we're
looking at whole sign or Placidus, you're.
Having third in Placidus too. Oh.
Beautiful. So I feel this like instantly we
(42:49):
see your local community is you are using your occult knowledge
and your spiritual knowledge, your deep breath of experience
in your own personal healing in your local community, in you
know, your connections with yourfriendships, in how you connect
to the community. Like Wellness.
(43:10):
I always think of Wellness centers as very third House
Energy because it's where peoplecome together to connect with
one another. So I can really see that.
But what I really love about this Mercury Lilith conjunction
in the third is that there is such a a deep belief and truth
in what you have to say this year.
(43:32):
And I think that with all of this internal processing of so
much new information, with all of this reconnection to the
divine in new ways, I think that, you know, you're
channeling is going to really strengthen this year.
Again, you're going to get another like real level up in
that channeling or mediumship skills.
And then we have Mercury and communicating it.
(43:54):
It is retrograde. So I think that it's more like
what you're channeling is more lessons for you.
But it's going to just, it's going to spread out and be,
yeah, spread out to others whether you try to or not,
because you're going to have this Sagittarius influence,
these third house influences. And there's such a, you know, a
(44:17):
righteousness to the messages that you're receiving with that
Lilith being there, too. I love that Lilith is right
there with it. I at that is like that brings an
extra like, OK, just Scorpio andLilith intensity and then coming
together like Lilith conjunct Mercury.
But yeah, there's also like withthat, you know, communication
(44:42):
because of Mercury, but retrograde it's more internal.
But with that third House Energy, it feels like it's one
of those moments where just in sharing what's going on with
you, you end up by default helping somebody else out.
That's what I was getting when you were saying all of that.
Like just within my community, like, hey, this is what I went
through. And that could actually like
(45:03):
unintentionally be a healing piece for somebody else.
And that that I definitely can see threads of that already
building coming into my next year.
And I like to look at third houses, like where we're growing
within the mind, like where our mind is, you know, spending a
lot, expending a lot of its energy.
And so I wouldn't be surprised like, especially with this
(45:24):
Chiron in the 8th House of the conversation of intimacy, if
what's on your mind a lot this year is your sexual health,
sexual Wellness, sexual pleasure, like really exploring
again, themes of intimacy and letting go of, you know, holding
yourself back or, you know, again, like kind of Capricorn
moon themes of having a wall or guardedness.
(45:46):
And this is like really asking yourself to have those forced
pause conversations, those forced healing conversations
within yourself. And then, like you said,
probably attracting others who are going through similar
experiences, whatever they may be.
You know, it could have nothing to do with your sexual Wellness
or whatever. It could have to do with, you
(46:06):
know, personal healing or traumahealing or, you know, ecology,
stuff like that. So dealing with any sort of deep
healing themes and then, yeah, like you said, connecting to
others who are also experiencingthat just through attraction.
That feels very, it feels like aliberating energy too, because
of Lilith. Just, you know, that rightful
(46:28):
rage. But then the communication part,
like there's a, there's a almostlike, I don't know if shameless
is the right word, but a like naked truth.
Oh yeah. Energy and that is so different
from Sagittarius energy, but at the same time, truth and freedom
is such Sagittarius energy. So the fact that we've got both
(46:50):
of those going on, it's just coming at it with a very
different lens, but still a similar message behind it.
Yeah, yeah. And then like you already
mentioned that Grand water trine, so Jupiter, Saturn and
Mercury and Lilith are all working together in Neptune, of
course. So yeah, there's just generally
a lot of growth, a lot of connection to your own inner
(47:14):
guidance and and lessons, karmiclessons with Saturn being there.
Saturn in Pisces in the 7th is like, OK, what boundaries are we
setting versus what boundaries are we dissolving in our
relationship? So it's just a lot of internal
conversation of, OK, is this a moment to put myself first?
Or is this a moment to grow beyond what I've how I've been
(47:35):
living and, you know, compromisea little bit, which you're
already so well built for doing.You know that I think you'll be
you'll, you're kind of the perfect person to go through
these experiences because you already are so capable of seeing
what others needs are and wanting to take care of others
needs too, while also making sure you're not like going
against your own personal values.
So you're going to be able to use these natural skills you
(47:57):
already have, but I feel like they're going to push you to
grow in ways that that you hadn't expected.
That was so beautiful. I love you.
I love you too. Thank you.
Happy birthday. Thanks.
So that's what I've got for the solar return reading this year.
(48:19):
Oh my gosh, I, yeah, what I needto do is like every year, of
course I am a freaking Sagittarius.
I'm like, yeah, I need to go back and like look at last
year's. And then every year I'm like,
didn't do that. Didn't do that.
You want me to listen to our podcast from a year ago?
Oh my gosh. But like, and then and then
every year I'm like, you know, what I'm going to do now is I'm
going to go do that. And let me just say I'm probably
not. No, but like I have the
(48:41):
intention. Yeah, well, two, if you edit
this episode, that's true. Oh my gosh.
Well, I really appreciate the solar return and I hope that
anybody listening got something out of that.
You know, also if you just everything that we just said if
(49:02):
you're going to got experience November. 22nd you're just like
so lucky. So you should really just listen
to this episode every year cuz it's your unless I mean
depending where you're living but.
But at the same time, like, you know, everybody is going to be
living these energies for a couple days right around like
(49:22):
right after this episode comes out, it comes out a couple days
before my birthday. So coming up on that, like if
you are an American coming up onthat Thanksgiving week, you
know, that's a lot of these energies.
That's what they're going to be.So that's just fun to note.
But but yeah, thanks for thanks for being here for my birthday
guys, and thanks for my solar return reading Mimi.
(49:44):
Of course, I before we finish, Ijust want to formally apologize
for the 2005 bang situation. I've had this entire episode.
For anybody who's been watching,it's just like.
What? I just, I feel like I got like a
it's just real like 2005. I don't know how I'm feeling
about it. I've been insecure about it this
whole time, OK. So we're also on video.
(50:07):
If you haven't been watching, you can check us out on Spotify
or YouTube and leave a comment. Leave a let.
Me know what if you're pros at your granddad 2005 Thanks sorry
had to make it about me God. Oh, my gosh.
All right. OK.
Thank you so much for listening.Thank you for being alive here
(50:28):
and having a birthday every year.
And why did we talk about your solar return today?
The stars made me do it. Welcome back to the Stars made
me do it. It's my birthday.
I was like. Wait, should we?
Have you been throwing your own birthday episode?
I know I'm like, wait, maybe I should have asked me to do it,
but it's too late now. Welcome.
Back to the Stars made me do it.It's Sierra's birthday.
(00:32):
Go wish her happy birthday. If you're listening the day this
comes out, you got four days to prepare.
All right, write her a really heartfelt love note.
OK, That's all she needs. That's all I ever want.
I'm a words of affirmation. Love language guys.
Just a nice long. To the Gemini Mars episode.
So today we are going to discussSierra's birthday, looking at
(00:55):
her solar return chart, as well as talking a little bit about
perfections. And if you don't know what those
are, we've got a couple of theseepisodes out now.
We've done birthday episodes twoor three years now where we look
at what's called a solar return chart.
So you may know of a Saturn return when Saturn returns to
where it was the moment you wereborn.
(01:15):
Well, once a year, pretty much aday before, after or on your
birthday, the sun returns to exactly where it was the moment
that you were born. And then we look at that chart
and we say, you know what? This is what the rest, this is
what this year is going to bringup for you.
It reflects the upcoming year ahead.
And that's what we're gonna lookat today for Sierra.
(01:38):
Yeah, I really love the solar return concept and and just the
idea. Mine is so like, I just, I guess
I love being a 0° sage because my, my son is 0.00°.
And so we then find 0.00° of this year, take a picture of
that chart and project it. And I love always being the one
(02:00):
to ring in the Sagittarius season, you know?
But also if you did not listen to Mimi's birthday episode, we
had really cool discussions about solar return charts with
Hannah from Hannah's elsewhere. And we all came with like a
little bit of a different solar return energy.
And we debated if, you know, forany sort of birth chart, you use
(02:22):
a location to determine where the planets are and what the
rising is, especially the rising.
And so in the episode for Mimi'sbirthday back in April with
Hannah, we all had kind of different risings that we're
looking at. And Hannah uses the original
birth location and Mimi and I were in a kind of not a debate,
(02:43):
but in a well, we. Were undecided.
Yeah, yeah. We were undecided of if the
location where you spend the majority of your year or if the
location where you spend your birthday determines that rising
sign. So we kind of played with all
charts. We looked at where Mimi was
going to spend most of her year,where she was born and then
(03:04):
where she was on her birthday. And they had three.
It was 3 very different risings.Loved that we did that too,
because I can very confidently say now I've experienced over
half of, you know, this year forme since my birthday and I will
always use the place that I celebrated my birthday.
(03:24):
It is the energy that you are infused with the moment you turn
this new age. And for me, I celebrated my
birthday in a foreign country that I've never been in, right?
It's not a country that I spent a lot of time in.
It's not a country I'm going to spend a lot of time in this
year, but it's where I celebrated my birthday.
And when I look at the three charts that we laid out for that
(03:45):
solo return episode, I 1000% cansee this.
You know the Spain location solar return chart for this year
because it's giving me cancer rising.
And holy crap. If you want to know how much
cancer rising I'm experiencing, go check us out on Patreon.
You could go do that. patreon.com/the Stars made me do
it or follow us on Instagram andTikTok at the Stars Made Me
(04:08):
podcast. Go give Sierra's business some
love for her birthday or just because it's amazing at Magical
Book Club. That's also on Patreon.
And then her website, issierraautumn.com.
And then you can go check out mywebsite,
harveymountainalchemy.com. I got Sagittarius candles coming
on a discount very, very soon. And yeah, so let's talk a little
(04:29):
bit about, I mean, I think you're bringing a Placidus
version, right? And I'm gonna bring the whole
sign version. So we are gonna have a little
bit of a discussion of like, OK,what are the differences here?
And then throughout the year, you can see like, oh, actually I
am having this 4th house sun or you know what?
No, I am having a third house sun year.
I can really feel that. So it's gonna be really
interesting to just see how it plays out.
(04:50):
And I love using astrology in this real time way to determine,
OK, what is my personal philosophy and what is my
practice because of the experience that I've had.
I know I need to retroactively look back at this past solar
return and I I want you to do. A little reflective, yeah.
Yeah, like where this like if I think my house was, if I think
(05:13):
my son was in this house or thathouse, you know, based on
Placidus or whole sign. And if you would like to know
more, we also have an episode ofPlacidus versus whole sign.
And basically in Placidus you can have more than one sign in a
house and in whole sign you haveone sign per house.
So actually this year it is going to shift pretty major
(05:34):
difference, you know in between Plastus and Holstein because for
my solar return coming up 2025, my rising is 28° Virgo.
And so it is at the very tail end.
So for me in this Placidus chart, I've got Libra in that
first house entirely, but the chart that Mimi is going to be
looking at is going to have the entire first house filled with
(05:55):
Virgo. So we have, we're going to have
different same, same content, but different, little different
perspective. Yeah, exactly.
And I, I am curious, you know, this year, this past year, 2024
to 2025 in whole sign you had a 6th house solar return year, but
(06:17):
in Placidus you had a 5th house solar return year.
And you know what? Like you can see both, you know.
You could see both also because I had a Leo moon so it's like
5th house, you know? Yeah, passions for the heart
like expression of self, but I also think about the amount of
admin and things you had to takecare of on a daily basis and
(06:40):
reestablishing your routine, your mental health, your
physical health. That came up this year as well.
That's so true. Yeah.
Oh, that's so interesting to think about.
It's like it again brings us back to that placidus versus
whole sign where we can really see a lot of the inner world and
placidus and a lot of the like, life happening in whole sign,
(07:01):
you know, because I can see lifehappening to me.
Forced that 6th house a little bit more, but then like Inner
World with that 5th house. Yeah, I see that totally.
Yeah. So definitely if anybody's
interested in a solo return reading, check out either Sierra
or my websites, sierraautumn.comor Harvey Mountain alchemy.com.
(07:21):
We both offer a plethora of different astrological readings.
So if you're curious what's going on for you, if your
birthday's coming up or your birthday was in the last two
months or so, I think it's typically a good time to check
out your solo return chart. So a couple of episodes I
thought would be good to plug before we get into talking about
your upcoming year. Definitely the previous birthday
(07:43):
episodes if you're into this. And these are episodes which are
more like seeing how astrologersuse astrology in real time, you
know, like reading a chart, analyzing, interpreting and
discussing. And then also we have a
perfections and progressions episode, which I believe is also
a birthday episode, but it goes a little bit more in depth about
what is a perfection, what is a progression, etcetera, because
(08:06):
progressions are very different from the solar return.
But it's also a timing techniqueor a more predictive technique
in astrology. That's extremely fascinating if
that's kind of the the reason you love astrology or what you
use astrology for. Yeah, yeah.
I didn't look into the perfections at all, so I'm
excited to see what you have to say about.
(08:26):
That yeah. So let's get into it.
Perfection is basically there's a wheel and every single year
one house in your chart is more activated than the others
according to perfection years. And it sounds like perfection.
It's PRO affection, not perfection as in you are perfect
(08:46):
but for you. I am.
But for you, you are perfect, mydear Julio Moon year for Sierra
here going into 35 years old andthis is true for anyone who's
35. You're having a 12th house
perfected year. So we're just going to look at
(09:07):
the blanket of what does 12th house represent?
The 12th house represents your spiritual connection.
It represents unfinished business getting resolved.
Ideally it represents right tiedto that unfinished business.
It represents pregnancy and alsoconnection to the mother
through, you know, a deeper connection, not just like
(09:29):
relational but also your connection to yourself reflected
by the connection with your mother.
It's retreats, isolation, both positive and negative.
So this for me, I would say is just a big year for you
spiritually to really discover your own connection to the fine
in a new way. You're already a very
(09:51):
spiritually LED person. You're already very connected to
your guides. You, you know, it really reminds
me of when you had a Scorpio moon year in the. 12th House.
But I was thinking, you know. Where that was a really big year
for you, where you were unblocked in so many ways and
you discovered this past life asa scribe and you were able to
really connect to new methodologies of of, you know,
(10:13):
spiritual communications and stuff and like mediumship.
So I could absolutely see this year being one where you get
another level up, right. And then we also, for
perfections, look at what's called the Time Lord, which I
just think is so like freaking cool sounding.
I love that, I love that. Who's my Time Lord this year?
Who's the Lord of the time? For me, I use whole sign
(10:37):
especially for perfections because perfection is a very
traditional astrology tool. I'm going to use the more
traditional housing system, which is the whole sign.
So for you being a Sagittarius rising, the 12th house is just
above that first house. It's ruled by Scorpio in your
chart. So then we look at the planet,
or in this case planets that rule, that sign, traditionally
(11:00):
it's Mars. So Mars is really that main Time
Lord because it's the one that'sgoing to be making more moves
throughout the year. But we're also going to factor
in the fact that Pluto is a TimeLord for you and there's deep,
slow moving transformation that's occurring throughout this
year and it's sometimes going tobe completely beneath the
surface. You're not recognizing it's
(11:22):
happening until Mars kind of plays a factor and makes you
confront the fact that it's happening.
So there's a lot of deep changesthat might be going on beneath
the surface that you're not aware of.
And then they suddenly become like part of your awareness and
part of your consciousness. So there's a lot of
communication between earthly and spiritual realms.
(11:43):
You know, that's really interesting.
I'm like, I'm here for another up levelling of even though man,
what a year that was with that Scorpio moon in the 12th house,
a solar return, but it was like life changing.
It was genuinely a life changingyear for me.
And it is interesting that yes, perfections and Time Lords are
traditional astrology, but I do always like to look at the
Placid side of things. And that would be Sagittarius
(12:05):
and that would be Jupiter. And I in my optimistic ways, I'm
like, OK, I'm going to have a 12plus perfection.
You're like, let it be Jupiter. That's ruling it, please.
Well. Yeah, I mean, but there's a huge
difference. And that's going to be something
where you're going to really know the difference.
Like, OK, is Mars and Mars and Pluto ruling me or is Jupiter
(12:26):
ruling me? And so with Time Lords, for
anybody else who's following this, if you're like, if you've
calculated your Time Lord, for example, if you just turned 35
and you are a Taurus rising, then that means you've got Aries
on the 12th, you got Mars as your Time Lord.
What you want to do with that and what's your will do with
that throughout the year is lookat what these planets are doing
(12:47):
in the sky currently. It's not looking at your Natal
Mars, not looking at your Natal Pluto.
It's looking at what these planets are doing right now in
the sky and how they're affecting your Natal chart.
And there's just a little extra emphasis on these planets in
relation to your Natal planets. So we know that Pluto is
traveling through in Placidus inyour second house, in wholesine
(13:10):
in your third house. So we might find that for me,
I'm going to be looking at wholesign.
If you're having a 12th house perfected year with the Time
Lord transiting your third house, a lot of jargon.
But if you're if you're keeping up, you're fucking sick.
And if you're not, you're also awesome.
But Pluto in your third house here, I feel like this is deeply
transforming your sense of community because of that
(13:33):
connection to the spiritual. And I can really see you
offering more retreats, you offering more healing services,
you putting yourself in the community, implanting yourself
more in the community as a healer and as a source of
spiritual connection for others.I love that and I already see
that building and all the connections that I have made, so
(13:56):
that that checks out and I love that.
Yeah. And then Mars, of course moves
through the signs a lot more. So we'll actually be, you know,
you'll be experiencing Mars transiting almost, you know,
probably 2/3 of your chart throughout the next year.
So starting with I believe probably the 9th house and then
moving through to the 5th. On my Oh yeah, OK, because it's.
(14:16):
Probably starting in Leo or or Virgo around your birthday and
then it'll get down to like Taurus or so.
Yeah, when on my birthday, Mars will be in Sagittarius because I
have Mars in that solar return. So I'm loving that and it'll.
So we'll start off with Sage andat least, yeah, maybe get
through a good amount of them. Yeah.
(14:37):
So that's the perfection. That's what we'll look at for
perfections, perfection, years, etcetera.
Now for Sierra's solar return, it's on your birthday exactly,
and it's literally in France. Time I or no it's central is
2:36 AM. Yes.
I believe is that France time? Yes.
(14:59):
Yes, OK. Great.
So in the US it's it's happeningon the 21st, but luckily you're
in France. So it's happening.
It's happening on your exact birthday.
For your solar return, the firstthing we want to look at is what
house your sun is in, right? It's called the solar return.
The main focus here is the sun. So we pay attention to anything
(15:20):
that's affecting the sun, AKA the sign won't change because
that's the whole point. But the house will change.
And then any other planets that are aspecting or affecting that
sun. And I will say I feel like your
sun is chilling. Like besides this Pluto sextal
at Pluto is at 1° Aquarius and your Natal sun is at 0°
(15:43):
Sagittarius. You're already experiencing
this, so you're pretty used to this.
Gonna keep experience, yeah, but.
The house that your son is in for whole sign, and I know this
is going to change for, you know, Placidus, the chart that
you're looking at, it's in the 4th house.
So this is a major focus. And in Sagittarius, which as we
always like kind of discuss, like Sagittarius is this
(16:04):
freedom, nomadic energy. And then 4th house is complete,
like settling into your sacred safe space, like it's a cave
versus like like traveling on a plane, you know, where you just
go anywhere at any time. So there's a lot of discovering
(16:25):
how freedom and domesticity don't have to be completely like
exclusive of one another and discovering really your deeper
Sagittarius needs as opposed to your more like surface or, I
don't know, like light hearted, such the energy.
(16:47):
I feel like it's really exploring the emotional needs
that your Sagittarius placementshave that you've been focusing
so much of your emotional needs towards, you know, the Capricorn
side of you, but done discovering what emotional
fulfillment your Sagittarius placements need as well.
I really do love that in wholesine energy and in
(17:08):
Placidus, the 4th house is intercepted.
So I wonder, like either way, itfeels like it's going to be like
a very inner world. You know, it's intercepted in
Capricorn in, in Placidus for the solar return chart.
But I love the idea of having that sun in the 4th house and
the idea of, you know, that 4th House Energy, which is very
(17:28):
nurturing home and nesting and comfort and mothering and all of
that energy. And to have the Sagittarius sun
that's like, let me explore, letme travel, let me leave and come
back home, though, like I reallylike that idea.
That's been a really, you know, this year has been a lot.
And to have a place that feels like home.
(17:52):
My, my past year, my 2024 solar return was a Cancer rising year.
And I went through all of the emotions.
And then Jupiter was in Cancer, which is my chart ruler, you
know, being in Cancer. And so now I'm shifting to this
4th House Energy, which is, you know, with similar notes to
that. And I really like the idea of
seeing how Sagittarius can be like, yes, go explore, but then
(18:17):
come home or explore in a different way that you haven't
before. That's exactly, yeah, what I'm
seeing as well. Because then the only other
aspect that we've got to your son is an out of sign aspect.
So Uranus is opposing your son, but it's at 29° of Taurus,
whereas your son is at 0° of Sagittarius.
So it's out of sign because if Uranus were just one degree
(18:40):
further, like if Uranus were into Gemini, it would be an
exact opposition. We do have an opposition and
it's within that five degree orb, but it's in a different
sign. So it's not that polarity that
we're used to of Gemini sage or Taurus Scorpio.
But I find it really interestingthat we have this Uranus in
Taurus back in like shifting what we were so determined on
(19:03):
what we what was so conventionally solidly built.
And it's in the 9th House of travel, education, exploration,
philosophy, faith, all of these things.
So it's still like it's really defining what your Sagittarian
needs are again, or like redefining what travel fulfills
(19:25):
for you at this point. And that's something that no
matter which system we look at, it is Uranus and Taurus in the
9th house. And I really like looking at
the, you know, overlaps when we change, when we like change
different chart systems because it's like no matter what, that's
where that planet is. And so that feels like that
energy to me is, you know, double down on it like that,
(19:49):
that uranium energy in the 9th house, but in Taurus, yeah, like
restructuring what that all means.
Yeah. And then the last thing I look
at for the sun in this chart, because you do have very little
mitigating it, which, you know, honestly feels a little calm,
which is nice. But the last thing I wanted to
look at was. Was the ruler of the sun as we
(20:10):
know the ruler of Sagittarius isJupiter and the ruler in this
solar return. Jupiter is in Cancer and in the
11th house and it's retrograded,which I know you you give weight
to. So I just wanted to make a
little note of that. But what's mitigating this sun
in the 4th House of really connecting to your own personal
needs, your sense of home and also what freedom means to you
(20:33):
is is exploring travel. I think you're definitely this
is a year to travel with friends.
I think this is a year to explore really new places as
opposed to traveling to where you've become really accustomed
to traveling. Or I think it's expanding on
your home life because it's cancer through shared
(20:56):
experiences with like minded people.
So it's that exploration. Maybe it's not through foreign
travel, but instead it's exploration of new spaces that
you host workshops in or host retreats in.
And it's about real connection and nurture and again, that
healing energy of cancer with itbeing in the 11th house.
(21:16):
I love that. I really love that.
And in Placid, as I see it's in the 10th and it's intercepted.
And so that and yeah, I do really like looking at when
things are retrograde. And for me when whenever there's
Jupiter retrograde, it's so powerful to believe in the power
of your own luck. And and that is the thing that
(21:38):
it's not an outside force comingin.
It's that inner faith that brings it out.
And so I think, you know, whether that be work related in
that 10th House of being like, no, I just believe in myself.
And also because it is that Cancerian energy which can then,
you know, we can also find commonalities if we were to look
at that whole sign with the 4th House Energy.
(21:59):
Something about like, you know, the way in which you feel and
nurture and move through all of the emotions in your life.
And maybe in work versus home life, because those are those
intercepted houses, you know, believing that you are lucky,
even if you're not exactly sure how that exploration's gonna go.
(22:23):
Yeah, I feel like this also is showing that you're going to
really expand emotionally through your friendships of like
gaining close. And I feel like you have been in
this last year, like really found more friends that you can
be the less put together versionof you, you know, because you
had no other choice. You, you know, there were
(22:43):
moments you needed simply to be emotionally supported and you
saw which friends came out. And I feel like this year it's
just more development of that. Yeah, I think that because I
didn't have a choice and all of the emotional turmoil that I
went through last year, I think that now it's almost like
because I still have, I wouldn'teven I don't even think I have
(23:04):
that many new friends. It's more that I have deeper
friendships of the people that Iknow.
And therefore friendships can expand in different ways, which
is very Jupiterian. You know, they can expand in
different ways because in general I'm not that same put
together version of me all the time that I was and like and
feeling that kind of cancer likewe love you anyways, like being
(23:26):
held in that way. Yeah.
Oh, and we're going to get to the moon.
Well, why don't we get to the moon right now?
Because the moon is actually in the same placement as your sun.
You're born, your solar return is right after the new moon in
Sagittarius. So your sun and moon are in the
same sign of Sagittarius and in this chart also in the 4th
house. And I just want to differentiate
(23:47):
because I think I talked a lot about emotional needs with the
sun, which in the 4th house that's going to be, you know,
relevant anyway. But I think also wanted to make
a note of you're going to shine through the through your
emotional revelations. And like, it's going, it's not
gonna be as hidden, which your Capricorn moon natally is.
Like, we lock it down, we keep it close, you know, like you
(24:08):
just get it. You've just gone through this
Cancer rising year where there was a little bit of like, fuck,
I, like, I need to cry right now.
And I'm around a bunch of peopleand they're gonna see.
It I'm crying. Here we go.
Yeah. And I do feel like this year
feels like a, a stronger, more confident version of that where
the sun is there. So you're sitting in your solar
power, but you are still in needof shining light on what you're
(24:32):
feeling and having the audacity and the bravery with that
Sagittarius fire energy to do itwithout questioning if it's, you
know, if people are like, Oh my God, she's not reliable anymore
because she's having feelings. Oh my gosh, that just gave me
such a like, I'm about to throw up.
She's not reliable anymore because she's having feelings.
(24:53):
Every Capricorn moon's nightmare, everything they try
to avoid. Oh my God.
But like I was, I was feeling good about it until you said
those words. But.
No, but that's just so empowering.
It's so incredible that you knowyou're going to feel empowered
through it, which you know you don't have that quite yet
because you're not, you're not in the solar return year.
But this year you will start to feel more power in your ability
(25:16):
to feel and to share your feelings without your feelings
bogging you down, which Cancer shares their feelings when
they're in the throes of it and they are weighing them down and
they feel like they're drowning.But Sagittarius, when they're
able to express their deep emotion, there's still a sense
of optimism, right? A sense of we're going to get
through this. But I also I'm going to really
(25:37):
share my personal truth, which is I'm having some emotions I
need to express. Yeah, I am looking forward to
this Sag like sun and moon year.And it is interesting because it
isn't technically a new moon because the my moon is at 19°
and the sun is at 0. So like we just exited Scorpio
season. And so it's almost like a false
(25:58):
new moon. And I love that.
I get that, you know, I get the sun and moon even though it's
not technically a new moon. But I really am looking forward
to that Sag moon energy because there is such a lighter feeling
like I, I've got so much sag in my chart, like I know how it
goes, but man, that Capricorn moon is heavy.
And so, and I've also come off of a year of having a Leo moon
(26:21):
and I did my, my solar return did this to me the past couple
years where it was like I had every water moon to experience
or every water placement to experience.
And now, you know, I came from this Leo fiery moon to the Sag
fiery moon. And I am looking forward to
seeing how that shows in a exploratory way, but also as a
Sagittarius sun, Sagittarius rising.
(26:43):
And we think of your top three being like, you know, that
classic what we look at. I, I don't have that.
The Sag moon is the piece that'smissing.
And so I'm excited to feel through what a Sag moon feels
through since I'm so used to thesun and rising part of it.
Yeah. And I think that that is going
to show up more as like, OK, when do I need to settle into my
(27:04):
space versus when is it better for my mental health, not an
escapist tendency, but better for my mental health to go
explore somewhere new and have ahave fun.
It's like when is the time to essentially wallow or sit in my
emotions versus when is the timeto, you know, let go and move
forward and enjoy life. And if I'm looking at this from
(27:27):
a Placidus perspective, all thissag is in the 3rd house too.
And so like, that just seems like extra, I mean, Sagittarius
is very connected with people anyways, but this feels like
more friends and community and yeah, just being like, yeah,
like let me explore especially, you know, come on France, come
on through with paperwork. But like, until then, I am only
(27:49):
gonna be able to be doing local travel.
So, you know, I, I really like that idea of just a social
nature and feeling good with connecting with other people,
feeling good by doing things in the community, feeling good by,
you know, building that type of networking in my area.
Yeah. And I do want to just throw in
there, the most beautiful thing about this moon is that it's in
(28:12):
mutual reception with Jupiter. So moon is in Jupiter sign sad,
and then Jupiter's in the moon sign Cancer and Jupiter's very
happy in Cancer. So these are working really well
together. I didn't even realize that.
Yeah, that's gonna be something very cool to feel through too,
because in my Natal chart I havemutual reception with my son and
(28:33):
Jupiter, but now I'm going to behaving Moon and Jupiter.
Yeah. That is beautiful.
Oh, I'm excited. Yeah, something that is quite
potent in this chart is that your moon is square the nodes.
So this is a little bit more push and pull where, you know,
the sun was pretty chill. Like you got Pluto sextile.
(28:56):
And we know transformation is coming, especially with Pluto
being in the 6th house. It's like your routine and your
work, your day-to-day is going to shift.
So I can see schedule changes we'll have to talk about when
the podcast gets recorded. But also just like generally
your repeated workshops, your repeated sessions, like all of
these things, your schedule is going to transform in ways that
(29:18):
are unexpected. So that's kind of last sun, sun
thing. But your moon being square, the
nodes in these, Oh my gosh, I'm blanking on, on these angular
houses, which are kind of the most potent houses in the chart.
1st, 4th, 7th and 10th are the most like dynamic potent houses
in the chart. So we've got three out of four
(29:40):
of those really activated here and it's activating your sense
of purpose. And I think it's really pushing
you to surrender when it comes to one-on-one personal
relationships. And it's going to be a little
tough. You're basically in this chart,
the North Node is in Pisces in the 7th.
So there's this element of really releasing control,
(30:01):
letting go, surrendering and like deep karmic connection on a
one-on-one personal relationship, which for a moon
and Saj that just craves that independence and that freedom.
I'm not saying it's going to be hard, but I am saying like
they'll be the conversation within yourself of like, oh, I'm
noticing that I really want to just be free right now, but this
(30:22):
person is asking this of me and I respect their needs too.
And so like having that internalconversation with yourself and
then that S note in Virgo in thefirst, like letting go of some
of that, what this is the way things are.
And like, well, this is what makes sense to me because
sharing, you know, any kind of time or space with one other
person, whether it's friendly, familial or romantic, like,
(30:45):
means like compromising a littlebit on what your reality is, how
they differ. So I do see that S node in Virgo
challenging your moon of like, yeah, we know what your personal
truth is, but you got to kind oflet go of what you believe is
what makes sense in order to really surrender and experience
this more deep soul bond in yourrelationships.
(31:08):
Does that make sense? I really love that.
And I also really love that Sagittarius and Pisces are
sharing this Jupiter in Cancer during this time too, because it
feels like that is like, you know, that's always the
commonality between Sagittarius and Pisces is that is that
Jupiter And and yeah, I can see how there is that like, OK, now
(31:30):
that we're Pisces feels everything and the moon is our
feelings. And so but the feelings of
freedom, but then leaning towards that surrendering of
like you, you don't know what isgoing to happen.
You just like you need to trust in your relationships versus
that first house S node in Virgobeing like you need to release
(31:51):
all of the little detailed routine of how you've how you've
lived for you and then figure out how the Sagittarius can find
freedom within that space. And then, and then in the
Placidus version, it's the Northnode in the 6th and the South
node in the 12th. And so that's really interesting
(32:12):
because you've got this Pisces energy and a Virgo adjacent
house and this Virgo energy and a Pisces adjacent house.
And so it feels like it's going to be, you know, looking at it
maybe on a more internal level, like where is it that you need
to just let what feel good dictate your routine?
And where is it where you need to let go of Like you don't have
(32:35):
to be the perfect devoted this person like in this way to your
spiritual practice. Like it seems a little bit yeah,
there's a lot of Gray area in both the like your grounded
routine and your completely disconnected spiritual like side
of things. And and both of those are really
like showing me a theme of surrender.
(32:57):
N node and Pisces in the six andthen S node and Virgo in the
12th. Like both of those are like, you
got to surrender to what the everyday minutia is saying.
And you've got to like, let whatis being shown to you, what
maybe doesn't make sense, be thething that you let be true.
And your daily routine, implementing your healing
(33:18):
services, again, it just like feels like, hey, your day-to-day
is Pisces vibes. Yeah, you're leaning into your
spiritual being an offering, right?
Being of service to others through spiritual means.
Love. And then the last thing I've got
for the moon in Sage in the 4th house is that it's Trine Chiron
in Aries in the 8th house, her whole sign.
(33:38):
And I loved what you said about the South node in Virgo in the
first, like living life for you.Because I feel like again, there
was this element of freedom and autonomy and independence that
is really, really attached rightto your full body, your nervous
system, all just is deeply attached to the idea of
(34:00):
autonomy, freedom and independence.
And I feel like it could be extremely healing for you to
explore what it is that how it is you've lived just for you
versus, you know, those oppositeenergies, Libra, of like, what
do I do in my partnership? And like the 8th house being a
House of intimacy, like where you maybe have lived in survival
(34:24):
mode when it comes to being in that vulnerable space or that
intimate space and that really working so beautifully with your
moon and like having this wonderful communication with one
another. I really love that they're
interacting with one another in that like trying way, like in a
harmonious way. And also also like in Placidus,
(34:44):
Chiron is in the 8th. And so I really like that
another one that stays the same there.
And this is really interesting when I think of, so we're
looking at the solar return right now, but in my Natal
chart, I have Chiron and Cancer in the 8th.
And this solar return Jupiter inCancer is right on top of my
Natal Chiron in Cancer. And so I feel like I'm having
(35:08):
this like, you know, in the, thesolar return Chiron in Aries is
technically square my Chiron, myNatal Chiron in Cancer.
And so it's going to be like, I think that is going to show me a
lot of themes of that same 8th House Energy that I deal with on
a everyday life basis. Not looking at a Natal or sorry,
(35:31):
not looking at solar return, butjust in my Natal chart.
And then adding that Aries element though, where it, it's
almost like being a little bit more selfish in those areas and
having that support from the moon, but then having that
Jupiter like still, at least in those first few moments, like
passing right over my Natal Chiron, it's going to be a lot
(35:54):
of 8th house themed healing, which like woof.
I know well in this chart too, like you know, I don't have it
in my notes because I was just going to focus on sun, moon and
rising because otherwise we'd behere forever.
But like, you do have this Jupiter and Cancer in your solar
return square, Chiron in Aries, like by 1°, they're both
retrograde too. So it's a real internal dialogue
(36:16):
that you're having with, you know, the many voices in your
head. So like Chiron and Aries and the
8th, like I said, like these themes of the self and intimacy
and sharing and being vulnerableand healing and obviously like
healing through the occult. And then we've got Jupiter and
Cancer, which is like craving connection in your close
friendships, but also in big groups and they're squaring one
(36:39):
another. So again, it's going to be the
conversation of like, do I need to have time alone right now or
am I really craving some social interaction?
Yeah. And also just looking at this,
you know, this is going beyond Sun, moon and rising.
But the big thing that's just like staring at me in this whole
return chart is I have a grand water trine this year, like I
(36:59):
have Mercury. It's and it's retrograde.
It's a triple retrograde, Yeah, yeah, a grand water trine
because I have Mercury in Scorpio retrograde trine this,
you know, conjunction of Saturn and Neptune, both retrograde and
Pisces trine, Jupiter retrogradeand Cancer, like they are all
(37:21):
within like almost exact degreesof one another.
And that is going to be like, I feel like that just sometimes a
chart has a theme and like this feels like that extra like
intuitive spiritual world theme because the communication with
then, you know, lessons, but also Neptune like that, you
(37:42):
know, that's another spiritual world And having the ruler of
Pisces being Neptune and it's being in Pisces and then
interacting with that Jupiter inCancer and that having so much
influence on all my Sagittarius.Like this feels like a very what
you said about up leveling in spiritual gifts and up level up
leveling in then using those forworking purposes.
(38:06):
That just checks out for me. Yeah.
I think on the one hand, this like could be a year where you
feel majorly misunderstood externally because you're going
through such an internal processthat's really renewing your
understanding of yourself. And then on the other hand,
you'll be able to eventually externalize all that you've
(38:26):
learned and processed emotionally and spiritually to,
you know, be of service to others.
Which brings me to your rising, which is the.
You know, it's like, tell me, tell me about this Virgo rising.
You got this Virgo rising 28° Virgo rising and I thought for
funsies I would pull the Sabian symbol.
Yay. So for anybody who doesn't know,
(38:47):
I already forgot his name. He's a white guy.
He wrote this book for the Sabian symbols where every
single degree of every single sign has this symbol.
I really should find the name. It starts with AD Dale daily.
I don't know, but the Sabian symbol for 28° Virgo is a seeker
(39:10):
after occult knowledge. Is reading an ancient scroll
which illumines his mind. I knew.
Shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up.
Up Sierra's alley like it is so mystical and I looked at the
next degree and the degree before because I was like damn
this is so Sierra friendly and it like in the description of it
(39:32):
it really talks about like expanding your mind through
occult knowledge and just like being illuminated.
It almost feels like one of those Harry Potter scenes where
there's gold light coming from abook and he's.
Just my dream, my dream. He's absorbing it all and that's
what it feels like with this Virgo rising, this Sabian symbol
for that degree in Virgo. And then we know that Virgo is a
(39:53):
service provider. You know, it is AI mean, it's
work, right? It's our daily, it's our
day-to-day, it's our routine, etcetera.
So there is an element of organization this year that you
will have and I feel like it's going to really help with
compartmentalizing all of your kind of experiences and all
areas of life that you're going to have throughout this year.
(40:14):
But I really see this again reiterating that being of
service to others and then again, like strength.
Happening that constant conversation with yourself of
like, is this a moment where I'mgiving and really feel like
renewed and recharged for being a service?
Or is this a moment where I feellike I'm over giving as a form
to of escaping my own personal needs?
(40:38):
I really am so tickled by that savings and, and I love how it
comes into play with everything that we've mentioned already and
how it just further brings this up leveling of everything that I
experienced like 2022 solar return with that Scorpio moon in
(40:59):
the 12th. And there's, I don't have
Scorpio moon in the 12th, but you can see how like so many
similar energies get brought up through different placements
when you need to like learn or experience things in different
ways. And so I'm really that even
though it was a lot, it also really excites me to think of
(41:20):
what new things get to be revealed and explored.
And especially with the Sage Moon, that's going to be like,
keep it light, keep it light. Like you're going through a lot,
but it's okay. Have fun.
Yeah, and there is one last thing I want to talk about with
this rising. We're not done quite yet.
Before we get there, Dane Rudyer, an astrological mandala,
the cycle of transformations, and it's 360 symbolic phases.
(41:43):
So if anybody's interested, you can access it.
You can access the entire 400 page book through PDF online.
I just have it saved in my bookmarks because I like to
access it every now and then. So Dane Rudyer, that's his name.
The last thing I'm going to lookat for the solar return is the
ruler of your rising, AKA your chart ruler for this year.
And you already touched on it a little bit, but Mercury is the
(42:05):
sign or the planet that rules the sign Virgo, which is your
rising sign. So this is the chart ruler for
this solar return chart. We have it at 26° of Scorpio and
like you mentioned, retrograde exactly conjunct Lilith.
I mean, they are both right nextto each other, 26° of Scorpio.
And then Mercury's in there or not Mercury, sorry, Venus is in
(42:26):
there 18° of Scorpio. So it's in a loose conjunction
as well. I like to keep to a 5° or but if
we stretch to seven, you know, we're feeling funky.
So Venus is in there too. So, and it's in this third house
for the whole sign chart. So regardless whether we're
looking at whole sign or Placidus, you're.
Having third in Placidus too. Oh.
Beautiful. So I feel this like instantly we
(42:49):
see your local community is you are using your occult knowledge
and your spiritual knowledge, your deep breath of experience
in your own personal healing in your local community, in you
know, your connections with yourfriendships, in how you connect
to the community. Like Wellness.
(43:10):
I always think of Wellness centers as very third House
Energy because it's where peoplecome together to connect with
one another. So I can really see that.
But what I really love about this Mercury Lilith conjunction
in the third is that there is such a a deep belief and truth
in what you have to say this year.
(43:32):
And I think that with all of this internal processing of so
much new information, with all of this reconnection to the
divine in new ways, I think that, you know, you're
channeling is going to really strengthen this year.
Again, you're going to get another like real level up in
that channeling or mediumship skills.
And then we have Mercury and communicating it.
(43:54):
It is retrograde. So I think that it's more like
what you're channeling is more lessons for you.
But it's going to just, it's going to spread out and be,
yeah, spread out to others whether you try to or not,
because you're going to have this Sagittarius influence,
these third house influences. And there's such a, you know, a
(44:17):
righteousness to the messages that you're receiving with that
Lilith being there, too. I love that Lilith is right
there with it. I at that is like that brings an
extra like, OK, just Scorpio andLilith intensity and then coming
together like Lilith conjunct Mercury.
But yeah, there's also like withthat, you know, communication
(44:42):
because of Mercury, but retrograde it's more internal.
But with that third House Energy, it feels like it's one
of those moments where just in sharing what's going on with
you, you end up by default helping somebody else out.
That's what I was getting when you were saying all of that.
Like just within my community, like, hey, this is what I went
through. And that could actually like
(45:03):
unintentionally be a healing piece for somebody else.
And that that I definitely can see threads of that already
building coming into my next year.
And I like to look at third houses, like where we're growing
within the mind, like where our mind is, you know, spending a
lot, expending a lot of its energy.
And so I wouldn't be surprised like, especially with this
(45:24):
Chiron in the 8th House of the conversation of intimacy, if
what's on your mind a lot this year is your sexual health,
sexual Wellness, sexual pleasure, like really exploring
again, themes of intimacy and letting go of, you know, holding
yourself back or, you know, again, like kind of Capricorn
moon themes of having a wall or guardedness.
(45:46):
And this is like really asking yourself to have those forced
pause conversations, those forced healing conversations
within yourself. And then, like you said,
probably attracting others who are going through similar
experiences, whatever they may be.
You know, it could have nothing to do with your sexual Wellness
or whatever. It could have to do with, you
(46:06):
know, personal healing or traumahealing or, you know, ecology,
stuff like that. So dealing with any sort of deep
healing themes and then, yeah, like you said, connecting to
others who are also experiencingthat just through attraction.
That feels very, it feels like aliberating energy too, because
of Lilith. Just, you know, that rightful
(46:28):
rage. But then the communication part,
like there's a, there's a almostlike, I don't know if shameless
is the right word, but a like naked truth.
Oh yeah. Energy and that is so different
from Sagittarius energy, but at the same time, truth and freedom
is such Sagittarius energy. So the fact that we've got both
(46:50):
of those going on, it's just coming at it with a very
different lens, but still a similar message behind it.
Yeah, yeah. And then like you already
mentioned that Grand water trine, so Jupiter, Saturn and
Mercury and Lilith are all working together in Neptune, of
course. So yeah, there's just generally
a lot of growth, a lot of connection to your own inner
(47:14):
guidance and and lessons, karmiclessons with Saturn being there.
Saturn in Pisces in the 7th is like, OK, what boundaries are we
setting versus what boundaries are we dissolving in our
relationship? So it's just a lot of internal
conversation of, OK, is this a moment to put myself first?
Or is this a moment to grow beyond what I've how I've been
(47:35):
living and, you know, compromisea little bit, which you're
already so well built for doing.You know that I think you'll be
you'll, you're kind of the perfect person to go through
these experiences because you already are so capable of seeing
what others needs are and wanting to take care of others
needs too, while also making sure you're not like going
against your own personal values.
So you're going to be able to use these natural skills you
(47:57):
already have, but I feel like they're going to push you to
grow in ways that that you hadn't expected.
That was so beautiful. I love you.
I love you too. Thank you.
Happy birthday. Thanks.
So that's what I've got for the solar return reading this year.
(48:19):
Oh my gosh, I, yeah, what I needto do is like every year, of
course I am a freaking Sagittarius.
I'm like, yeah, I need to go back and like look at last
year's. And then every year I'm like,
didn't do that. Didn't do that.
You want me to listen to our podcast from a year ago?
Oh my gosh. But like, and then and then
every year I'm like, you know, what I'm going to do now is I'm
going to go do that. And let me just say I'm probably
not. No, but like I have the
(48:41):
intention. Yeah, well, two, if you edit
this episode, that's true. Oh my gosh.
Well, I really appreciate the solar return and I hope that
anybody listening got something out of that.
You know, also if you just everything that we just said if
(49:02):
you're going to got experience November. 22nd you're just like
so lucky. So you should really just listen
to this episode every year cuz it's your unless I mean
depending where you're living but.
But at the same time, like, you know, everybody is going to be
living these energies for a couple days right around like
(49:22):
right after this episode comes out, it comes out a couple days
before my birthday. So coming up on that, like if
you are an American coming up onthat Thanksgiving week, you
know, that's a lot of these energies.
That's what they're going to be.So that's just fun to note.
But but yeah, thanks for thanks for being here for my birthday
guys, and thanks for my solar return reading Mimi.
(49:44):
Of course, I before we finish, Ijust want to formally apologize
for the 2005 bang situation. I've had this entire episode.
For anybody who's been watching,it's just like.
