That's Mars's day and Aziz will 84 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,880 be working with Aries and Saturn and Neptune and Aries throughout 85 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,360 this year and I'm going to pass it off to Aziz now. 86 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:51,120 Hey everybody, it's so good to see all of you and wow, 87 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,640 Minneapolis, MN represent so excited that many of you are 88 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,880 here and just all of you, yay, thank you for coming. 89 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,880 You, you may know that 0 Aries are the point that Saturn and 90 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:11,120 Neptune are conjoining today is the point of the spring equinox, 91 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,600 right? And so it's a natural threshold 92 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,440 in terms of how we think about the seasons and have things 93 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,000 shift and change in our daily lives. 94 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:31,680 So just begin by noticing our guides for this practice, Saturn 95 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,520 and Neptune. Begin to feel them as the 96 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:40,200 ancestors that they are for supporting us and guiding us 97 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:46,000 through the process and practice of moving from one life, one 98 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:52,520 expression of an experience through a liminal, unknown space 99 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:59,000 of transformation and shape shifting to an unknown, 100 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,800 undetermined experience. A shape that is not yet seen, An 101 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,840 experience that is not yet known. 102 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:14,680 And asking that our ancestor Saturn is the holder of 103 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:21,000 limitations and boundaries and steadfastness support us with 104 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,720 that wisdom. Asking about the ancestor 105 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,520 Neptune support us with this capacity to bring in 106 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:34,440 transformation, pushing beyond boundaries and borders that are 107 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:42,160 not supportive to us, imagining futures that break the binaries 108 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,720 and the boundaries of what is possible. 109 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:51,520 So as you do that, as you feel the presence of these ancestors, 110 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:57,240 I invite you to also notice if there is other support at your 111 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:03,400 back, if there is other support beneath you and around you. 112 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:11,400 Ancestors of blood and bone, elemental kin, water, earth, 113 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:20,720 fire, air of culture, creature, king, anybody who's here to be 114 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,040 with you and support you through this transition. 115 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,840 And as they arrive, or maybe you call them in, you ask them to be 116 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,600 with you. Notice what it's like to really 117 00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:42,799 receive that relationship. Receive that connection, that 118 00:08:42,799 --> 00:09:00,710 support that kinship. So I just wanted to offer last 119 00:09:00,710 --> 00:09:06,470 two centuries, little glimpses into the previous conjunctions 120 00:09:06,470 --> 00:09:12,150 of Saturn and Neptune as you take them in, just noticing what 121 00:09:12,230 --> 00:09:17,950 the signs are, what the times are and what comes up for you. 122 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,640 Maybe something's there, maybe not. 123 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:27,200 So these are some pervading themes across Saturn, Neptune, 124 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,760 conjunctions. And this is a little bit of a 125 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:35,680 distillation from the Astrology Podcast episode 483, which is 126 00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:41,520 like 9 1/2 hours long. It's really epic offering from 127 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,400 that crew across time and space. Saturn, Neptune conjunctions 128 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,120 bring recurrent themes forward, and these themes in a lot of 129 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,240 ways have to do with endings and beginnings happening at the same 130 00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:00,400 time. And Neptune and Saturn in many 131 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:07,200 ways represent opposing forces. Saturn is, as Sheri Taylor, one 132 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,840 of our Saturnian guides and embodied astrology says. 133 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,320 Saturn is a guardian of the birth chart itself. 134 00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:16,800 Embodied existence, earthly existence. 135 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:22,200 And on Earth we experience life through form, our bodies, our 136 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,720 identities. Inside of earthly existence 137 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:29,160 there's always change, and inside of ongoing change there 138 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:34,280 are multitudes of realities. And inside of the multitudinous 139 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,160 realities that we are part of and made of, there's often a 140 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:43,120 very dreamlike feeling, an unreality that pervades reality. 141 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,880 And so when Saturn and Neptune come together, often what we 142 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,080 have are unrealities becoming more real and reality starting 143 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,240 to feel very unreal. These are times when the strange 144 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,000 is beyond what we can imagine, stranger than strange. 145 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,960 These are times that really stretch our conception. 146 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,440 What could be Neptune is a symbol of imagination and 147 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:13,560 dreams, and Saturn symbolizes formation and implementation and 148 00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:16,760 integration. And so these are also world 149 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,080 building times. And new worlds have been built 150 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,480 over and over and over again inside of a human experience and 151 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,920 inside of an earthly experience. And when new worlds are being 152 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:33,240 built, old worlds are also dying and being dissolved and 153 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,680 sometimes being actively eradicated. 154 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:42,080 And so the ending and beginning of worlds are really important 155 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,560 themes inside of Saturn, Neptune, conjunctions. 156 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,080 And then for us and our human bodies and our identities and 157 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,360 families and nationalities, etcetera, the concepts of who we 158 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,400 are go through profound shifts of what is real and what is 159 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,240 unreal. And this is something that 160 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,680 happens anyway, just being alive and aging, right? 161 00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:04,840 We're always shifting and changing and how we conceive of 162 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,200 ourselves. But living through these periods 163 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:14,360 of time really brings home the reality that we are not 164 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:19,000 separate, isolated beings unaffected by what's happening 165 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,080 in the world around us. And so as the collective 166 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,880 realities and unrealities morph and shift and become 167 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,920 increasingly strange and new worlds are born and dying, so 168 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,880 are we. That's happening inside of us in 169 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,000 the ways that we conceive of who we are and who we get to be. 170 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,280 So in what is being Offered and the Astrology Podcast, for 171 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,600 example, there is a lot of focus on certain themes, particularly 172 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,000 Northern Hemisphere, Western themes. 173 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:52,960 Aziz and I wanted to focus in places that we felt compelled to 174 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,880 focus. And astrology, of course, is 175 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,000 vast and it is a study of time and cycles. 176 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,840 And so you can take this research into any area where you 177 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,760 might be interested. And what we're offering here is 178 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,600 a light skimming of a surface, right? 179 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,200 These are just ideas. So take what works, leave the 180 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,800 rest, get curious about what's being presented here, and then 181 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,040 bring it into your own inquiry. As we contemplated Saturn 182 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,880 Neptune conjunctions across time, we were compelled by 183 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,440 people's uprisings and independence movements, anti 184 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,760 colonial movements, labor movements. 185 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,680 Across the Saturn Neptune conjunctions and those eras. 186 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,520 There are examples of people coming together and uniting, 187 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,960 often across certain kinds of differences that may have been 188 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,120 sharp enough in identity concepts to keep people apart 189 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:52,280 for a while, but then something happens that dissolves those 190 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,280 differences enough that people feel a unity. 191 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,320 And that's something that we can feel happening currently inside 192 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,920 of accelerating economic injustice and wealth imbalance, 193 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,960 kind of the billionaire and now trillionaire class, like Elon 194 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,320 Musk, who's about to become a trillionaire, as the majority of 195 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,120 human beings on Earth don't actually have enough resource at 196 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,920 all. It's also something that as the 197 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:22,280 environmental and climate crisis accelerates, will be and already 198 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,400 is a very unifying kind of thing. 199 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,480 And so it's an equalizer, right? There's there's a way that 200 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,440 Saturn, Neptune conjunctions really bring us into experiences 201 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:37,520 of being in it together. And as we come together, we also 202 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:44,120 have increasing power and agency to take part in ending cycles 203 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,400 and ending worlds. We can be death doulas of old 204 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,160 worlds as well as creators of new worlds. 205 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,120 Across these cycles, particularly in the last two 206 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:57,320 centuries, there's also been really notable movements of what 207 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,840 I'm going to say is like gender awakening and like progressive 208 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,200 orientations towards gender, including women's rights. 209 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,480 Before, you know, there was even a concept of feminism, proto 210 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,520 feminism, kind of early suffrage movements, which in and of 211 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,240 themselves take so much from civil rights movements, queer 212 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:21,960 rights, gender roles, how we Orient towards love, right and 213 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,040 orientation have been very big themes across Saturn, Neptune 214 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,000 conjunctions. And so these conjunctions are 215 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,960 bringing us to the threshold of our identities in many ways. 216 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:39,440 And many of the common recurrent themes are themes that really 217 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,160 filter into identity. So whether it's like 218 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,680 colonization or religious oppression or people's movements 219 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,800 and uprisings or things like this, it's all landing in our 220 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,880 bodies and our bodies are the sites for what is happening. 221 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,080 And gender based violence and oppression of women has been at 222 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:02,760 the root of so many supremacist ideologies. 223 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,760 And that filters into so many examples of the ways that human 224 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,720 beings also separate ourselves from Earth and and from what we 225 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,760 are part of in the more than human realms. 226 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:21,160 So these are just some kind of general themes. 227 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:26,640 I think a couple things just to say are these conjunctions are 228 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:31,000 there's there's like a dynamic unfolding that is part of this 229 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,800 process. It's not clean or necessarily 230 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,000 clear. And there may be things 231 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,560 occurring that are like, for example, we've got the 232 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,320 dissolution of borders occurring, but we've also got 233 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,080 the formation of boundaries of borders, right? 234 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:53,240 And so we've got these seemingly opposite experiences that are 235 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,320 dancing with one another. And you might be feeling that in 236 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,560 your body and your nervous system through this. 237 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,400 Like you might be noticing almost like these broadening 238 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:06,240 capacities inside of us to experience more, right? 239 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:10,680 Each, each end of the spectrum, like just kind of widens when I 240 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,520 think we're being asked to grapple with like some of these 241 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,200 scenes, what's true, what's not true, something being created, 242 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,280 something being destroyed, often visual means of some kind that 243 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:26,800 will come out of current events that will then become a story or 244 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,680 a mythology of the time. So I'm going to give an example 245 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,520 of that. So I, I wanted to focus on 246 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:39,200 Palestine and Gaza because we have a lot of intersecting 247 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:44,560 themes both with what's happening now in Gaza and the 248 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,760 West Bank, but also we've got a number of themes throughout 249 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,280 these Saturn Neptune conjunctions where Palestine was 250 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,760 being deeply impacted or where there was stronger levels of 251 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,680 resistance and uprising. So, you know, I won't go into 252 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,800 too much of the history, but basically not the first time 253 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:07,240 that, you know, Western Power is attempted to destroy Gazo was in 254 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:12,480 1917, which was kind of part of a larger World War One effort. 255 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,040 And during that time, there was an immense amount of 256 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:21,400 destruction, and that was during the Saturn, Neptune conjunction 257 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:26,720 in Leo. This basically set in motion, 258 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,840 you know, some of the larger dissolution of what was known as 259 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,960 the Ottoman Empire during that time. 260 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,960 And yeah, I mean, I think something that's interesting 261 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:42,600 about this is that, you know, and I've heard others say it's 262 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:47,000 like when we think about what it means to be like in the long 263 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,120 game of watching these different points in history, when a place 264 00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:55,400 has been impacted, it's like Gaza has been nearly destroyed 265 00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:00,240 but rebuilt, right, many times. And so we think about the long 266 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,880 game in the long history of that. 267 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:07,720 Additionally, the 1987 to 93 Saturn Neptune conjunction 268 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:12,680 coincided with the first Intifada in Palestine, so I 269 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,400 won't say too much more about that, but just inviting you to 270 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,920 notice these links with Saturn and Upto and Palestine. 271 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,200 I also won't say enough about any of these because there's a 272 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,960 lot to say about the Berlin Wall falling in 1989, which was the 273 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,280 last time that Saturn and Upto were conjunct. 274 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,840 You probably know some of the basic stuff about the Berlin 275 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,720 Wall falling. I asked some friends of mine 276 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,760 like, what was it like? You know, what was it like to be 277 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,480 there? What, what did it feel like? 278 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,440 Because like, what did the bodies say? 279 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,840 You know, what did people say? And, you know, these are just 280 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:50,840 some things that I heard. Surreal, you know, big surges of 281 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:56,040 hope followed by later the sense that a lot of that hope was 282 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,880 actually delusion, things like that. 283 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,880 You know, those are some of the things that I heard. 284 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,160 I like this example. This is Tank man. 285 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,240 I don't know if you can see Tank man. 286 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,560 He's very small. And he's meant to look like a 287 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,880 small, powerful figure that is like confronting these tanks 288 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,040 during the 1989. So this same New York Tiananmen 289 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:23,680 Square protests and you know, Neptune can sometimes be about 290 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,080 the creation of culture through image, even like the 291 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,200 mimification or I was saying before, like the mythologizing 292 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,400 of something. And this is a, this is an 293 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,400 example of something that became very mythologized in the culture 294 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,360 during that time, just even like the rhetoric around how 295 00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:43,440 different people felt about the government and about the 296 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,720 protests. For example, some people were 297 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,800 saying, like people who lived in China at the time were saying, 298 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,680 like this image depicted the military as more powerful than 299 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,520 it was. And others would say it was 300 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,280 depicting the military as less powerful than it was. 301 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,360 So there was kind of these like dissenting perceptions of what 302 00:21:02,360 --> 00:21:06,320 this did, but there was kind of this full cultural story that 303 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,200 was created just from this one image. 304 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,680 So I thought that was cool. And I was thinking about it also 305 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:16,040 with the way that that connects even to to some of what's 306 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,680 happening now in terms of this one person's bravery against 307 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,600 this. Like huge, massive machine was 308 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,960 really personified in this photo. 309 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,600 And I think we've got some examples of that happening right 310 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,040 now. Renee Goode and Alex Pretty's 311 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,080 murders. We've had some examples of that, 312 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:39,640 like sort of that one like brave person up against this huge 313 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,160 machine, even as we know it's not one person, it's a huge 314 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,480 collective of people. But what it does to have that 315 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,000 representative of somebody who did something really powerful. 316 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,760 So yeah, just just looking at some current expressions of 317 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,040 this, which I'm sure you're feeling and very aware of, but 318 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:03,400 noticing like since May of 2025 when this conjunction when 319 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,640 Saturn and Neptune both made their first ingress into Aries, 320 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:12,440 the budget for ice has severely increased since that time, 321 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:17,200 really making it sort of what once was certainly a terrible 322 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,080 organization, really into like a full blown terrorist 323 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,040 organization. And just obviously, we know the 324 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,920 quality of that being like, totally delusional and 325 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,200 unchecked, which could be expressions of Neptune and 326 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,600 Saturn. Yeah. 327 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,040 I mean, I think some things that I've felt, I don't know, a lot 328 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,520 of, you know, some of you are here with me, but I live in 329 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,480 Minneapolis. I live in South Minneapolis, one 330 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:45,160 of the places heavily impacted by the current occupation. 331 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:50,320 And I've also noticed, you know, it's sort of this just a much 332 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,360 more deeply woven decentralization of resistance 333 00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:56,480 against authoritarianism. And so that is like happening in 334 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,880 my neighborhood every day. It's very clear. 335 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,600 I feel it in my body. All my neighbors feel it in 336 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,360 different ways. And that's probable. 337 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,560 There's a lot more to say, but I think I'm gonna gonna end there. 338 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,480 Cease. Do you mind if I make some 339 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,400 things in regards to the photo of Tank Man and then kind of 340 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,520 what, please? Yeah. 341 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,360 What's coming in, in general in these themes and definitely now 342 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,920 construction of reality is, you know, something that's really 343 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,440 pervasive with Saturn, Neptune themes. 344 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,400 So Saturn, keyword construction, unreality or unreality, you 345 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,240 know, what we perceive to be real. 346 00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:36,280 And Neptune, when you kind of study astrological cycles and 347 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,520 generational cycles of the outer planets, Neptune has ages, you 348 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,840 know, of particular types of music or film or arts or 349 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,080 aesthetic and how culture is being shaped by imagery. 350 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,040 And so this piece that Aziz brought in, right, like the 351 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,920 mythologizing of something that happens with a single image. 352 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,240 And I'm sure that everybody here can recall certain images that 353 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,400 have just like, stuck in your mind probably for your whole 354 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,240 life at some point. You saw them somewhere, right? 355 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:09,080 And I'm thinking about, I think it was in in 2020, after George 356 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,040 Floyd was murdered, there was a similar image, and I don't 357 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,880 remember her name, a young black woman in a beautiful dress 358 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,480 holding a flower, you know, to the this row of just like 359 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:25,240 heavily armed militarized police and like full riot gear. 360 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,880 And like these kinds of images that get into our hearts and 361 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,160 souls and spirits. And like what Aziz is talking 362 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,520 about, like they represent the possibility of an individual to 363 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,440 encapsulate a collective movement. 364 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,880 And then they inspire us to become part of those movements 365 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,000 is really important. And the flip side of that is 366 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,880 propaganda, right? And like the way that imagery 367 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:54,640 and ideas and language are used to control us and, and control a 368 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,200 narrative or to manipulate and distort ideas of, of what's 369 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,680 happening. And this is also very much 370 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,320 happening in the suppression of particular types of images, 371 00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:06,280 right? This tiny child like throwing a 372 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,240 rock at a tank. Amazing. 373 00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:12,040 And, and you can feel it like viscerally, like when I look at 374 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:17,000 that image in my entire body, just like has this surge of, of 375 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,520 energy and love and compassion, I feel so moved, right? 376 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,240 And so this kind of construction of reality through what's 377 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,600 possible with images and ideas and arts at these times, like 378 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,040 poetry, anthem, novels that come out, films that come out, 379 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,880 etcetera. You know, it's worth noting that 380 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:39,480 even in this time of really intense escalating violence and 381 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,800 fascism, we had the Super Bowl halftime show that we did with 382 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,240 Bad Bunny and all these artists at the Grammys were saying fuck 383 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,240 ice. I mean, that's, that's really 384 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,320 notable that that's happening inside of culture. 385 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:56,680 I wanted to invite us to feel and think into some of the key 386 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,920 dates and timing for what is coming and what is in this 387 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,600 liminal and in this transition and, and cycle that we're in 388 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,760 with Saturn and Neptune. And so again, take what works, 389 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,480 leave the rest. What I'm offering here is just 390 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,880 like feelings. It's just sensations and it's 391 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,160 also coming through my own consciousness. 392 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,000 So Saturn and Neptune really started their conjunction in 393 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,360 2023 in some ways, when Saturn first entered Pisces and they 394 00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:26,320 began to be Co present in the same sign. 395 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:31,480 But as of February 2025, they were within a 10° orb of one 396 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,760 another. For astrologers, 10° is a pretty 397 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,240 significant orb of influence and that's when you really start to 398 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,360 feel something happening. There was a little touch into a 399 00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:45,320 10° orb in 2024 as well. It was only for about a month, 400 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:50,360 but maybe we think of this as the last, you know, year to 2 401 00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:52,840 1/2 years or so that we've been in. 402 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,640 What I'm going to say is phase one of the Saturn Neptune 403 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,880 conjunction and this is disillusion moving to the 404 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,080 threshold. Pisces is the last sign of the 405 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:07,440 Zodiac and Pisces and Neptune are actually very resonant with 406 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,400 each other symbolically and energetically. 407 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,880 Neptune is considered to be a quote UN quote modern planet, a 408 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,800 transpersonal planet. It's discovery happened 409 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:21,240 millennia after the visible planets had been worked with in 410 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,240 classical and traditional astrology for for that long. 411 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,440 And so the meaning that we're making out of Neptune 412 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:33,800 accompanies modernity in some ways, Neptune and Pisces, and 413 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,360 I'll say Jupiter is the traditional ruler of Pisces. 414 00:27:36,360 --> 00:27:40,120 But Neptune and Pisces both share associations with the 415 00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:43,560 unconscious and like ideas of the unconscious as well as 416 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,840 psychic and intuitive and etheric or energetic realms. 417 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,720 And so as Saturn comes with an orb of Neptune, this kind of 418 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,360 like psychic plane, etheric plane or energetic plane starts 419 00:27:56,360 --> 00:28:00,600 to really resonate and hum with the completion of a major cycle. 420 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,840 They are coming together now in the very last sign of the 421 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,000 Zodiac. Saturn is commonly associated 422 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,400 with aging and and be an oldness. 423 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,680 And so in 2025, there was a critical moment when Saturn 424 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,040 entered Pisces, when the debate happened between Biden and 425 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,720 Trump, where it really became obvious that Biden was too old 426 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,080 to hold that position anymore. And so there is this kind of 427 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,880 feeling of the institutions, the government, the leaders, the 428 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,520 ideas or the ideologies that we're working with being old, 429 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,640 being too old, and they're no longer viable. 430 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:41,840 And they are full of weaknesses. And in those weaknesses, cracks 431 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,320 begin to emerge. And then what comes through the 432 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,440 cracks is a kind of chaos. But chaos is very creative and 433 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,000 chaos is also very cathartic. And so in the blurring, there's 434 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,360 all this new energy that can start to emerge. 435 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,840 And uprisings are emerging and grief is emerging and a sense of 436 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:04,440 confusion is emerging. And then in March and May, 437 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,320 they're the first entries last year of Neptune and Saturn into 438 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,080 Aries. So both of them just made it 439 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,480 into the 1st 2° of the sign. They both stationed retrograde 440 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,880 in July. They both moved back into Pisces 441 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,280 by the end of the year. But there's this kind of 442 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,000 intensification then as Saturn and Neptune move out of the last 443 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,680 sign of the Zodiac and into the 1st that brings the state of 444 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,360 dissolve into a more catalytic kind of force. 445 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,360 And this is Aries. And so the, the pressure of the 446 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,120 dissolve and the structural failures really begins to land 447 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,920 on and in bodies. Things are falling apart. 448 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,880 People are losing access to resources, they're losing their 449 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,720 housing, they're losing their medical support. 450 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,040 All these systems are, are falling away. 451 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:51,040 And there's a lot of panic and, and like fear, but motivation 452 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:56,360 also and ideas of, you know, I think many of us, and I say us 453 00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:00,360 kind of including a very large swath of, of like potential 454 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,120 perspectives have known that this ending is coming for a 455 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,560 really long time. And so we might have our own 456 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,320 ideas about what else can happen, right? 457 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,320 And the technocrats have their ideas and the progressives have 458 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,720 their ideas and the queers have our ideas or whatever 459 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,760 astrologers have certain ideas. But there is this kind of moment 460 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,400 also of opportunity. And so the do something urgency 461 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,680 that in many ways has been accelerating, I'm going to say 462 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,080 for the last decade, definitely the last five or six years since 463 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,440 2020. And the Saturn Pluto conjunction 464 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,320 that happened then in Capricorn is reaching this critical 465 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,040 threshold. And there is an increased sense 466 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,600 of readiness also to meet the moment, in part because of the 467 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,320 disillusion that's been happening. 468 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,080 So people are experiencing breakdown and confusion and 469 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,440 grief. And that is creating the 470 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,680 circumstances that requires looking for alternatives or 471 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,520 learning or reaching out into community. 472 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:59,520 The The state of confusion is profoundly productive in a lot 473 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,440 of ways because it opens people up to new potentials. 474 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:09,120 And there are many communities that have lived through the 475 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,760 brutal forces of not just Saturn, Neptune conjunctions, 476 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,760 but many astrological conjunctions or aspects in ways 477 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,760 that, you know, brought the force of oppression in the state 478 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,160 directly into them that have been developing resilient 479 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,160 strategies for a very long time. There are many worlds that have 480 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,160 already ended and also regenerated and found new 481 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,240 iterations. And so there are visionaries 482 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,880 amongst us. There are doulas here and now 483 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,840 who are also guiding this time. And so as there's dissolution 484 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:45,320 and breakdown, there's also a kind of tidal flow of what has 485 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,480 already happened meeting what has yet to come. 486 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:52,640 OK, so phase one, we are really in it right now, dissolution and 487 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:57,200 threshold. So from January 26th of 2026 488 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:01,280 through February 13th of 2026, Neptune and Saturn were entering 489 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,440 Aries again. And now they'll stay in Aries 490 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,520 and they're not going to retrograde back into Pisces. 491 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,800 And so, so over the course of the last three weeks or so, 492 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,880 little more than three weeks, this exact conjunction at the 493 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,880 very first degree of Aries has been strongly applying. 494 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,920 And we are right now in the portal moment and the end of an 495 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,080 old world is happening as the birth of a new world is 496 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,440 happening. The historical precedents are 497 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,200 here of boundary collapse and emergence of these kind of new 498 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,200 orders and new ideas and beliefs of what is possible. 499 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,720 And it is also very embodied and it's energetic. 500 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,640 And so I want to invite everybody, everybody to kind of 501 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,840 like TuneIn and remember some of the themes that have come 502 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,720 through, as well as your own sense of being at a threshold 503 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:49,560 and maybe some of the qualities and textures of where Aries is 504 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,880 in your chart. And allow yourself to kind of 505 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:57,280 resonate with what intuitions and impulses have been emerging 506 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,080 for you and where you may have started to feel reactive or the 507 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,160 need to differentiate. There are ways where your 508 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:08,920 identity may have been dissolving and also making 509 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,720 itself known in new and different ways. 510 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,800 As certain aspects of identity fall away, other aspects of what 511 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:19,440 might be more actually real and essential to our essence can 512 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,720 come forwards. I also want to invite you to 513 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:26,640 tune in with somatic resilience. And this means breath presence, 514 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:32,680 being in the here and the now, and trusting your body as earth, 515 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,320 as universal intelligence to know how to change and know how 516 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,000 to adapt. I also want to encourage you to 517 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,320 feel into the places and circumstances where you're not 518 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:48,000 into it anymore. Strategic withdrawal is very 519 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,640 much a part of what we're going through right now, and the 520 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:57,400 clarity and willingness that you have to say no and to let things 521 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,720 go is medicine for this time. Even though at certain times it 522 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:06,200 might not make sense or it might feel somehow counter to what 523 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,679 your mind or community or family or boss or society is telling 524 00:34:10,679 --> 00:34:12,360 you. Freedom is a praxis. 525 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,480 It's something that we can learn about, that we can study through 526 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,080 freedom movements. It's also something that we need 527 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:22,120 to embody and really Orient ourselves to again and again. 528 00:34:22,159 --> 00:34:25,840 And freedom is not being able to do whatever we want to do 529 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,360 whenever, however we want to do, however we want to do to whoever 530 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,840 we want to do it to. That is tyranny. 531 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:36,320 Freedom only exists for human beings inside of interconnection 532 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,560 and interdependency and our embeddedness. 533 00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:42,360 And So what that means then is we have freedom of choice. 534 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:47,000 And inside of freedom of choice we have to be conscious. 535 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,600 In order to really choose, we have to be conscious. 536 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,159 Unconsciousness is the opposite of freedom. 537 00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:56,360 That's us being in our programming. 538 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,840 And so being able to wake up in a moment and recognize our 539 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,440 choice is also our adaptive courage. 540 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:08,440 Now we are in the portal moment. Now today is the day Saturn and 541 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:12,200 Neptune are conjunct at the very first degree of Aries and over 542 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,960 the course of the next two months or so as we move towards 543 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:20,720 the vernal equinox, towards Aries season, the Sun, Mercury, 544 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,800 Venus and and Mars will all cross the conjunction point and 545 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,960 this is like your ignition switch. 546 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:33,560 So Venus moves into Aries on March 6th, and Venus is all 547 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:39,440 about our bodies and our sensory intelligences and what we value 548 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,920 and what we're resourced by. So what we do with our money, 549 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,640 what we do with our time, what we do with our labor, our bodily 550 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,320 sovereignty, our aesthetics, our art, etcetera. 551 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,880 The Sun moves into Aries on March 20th. 552 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,440 That's the day of the vernal equinox. 553 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,600 The Sun is consciousness, it's life force, it's energy. 554 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,760 Mars moves into Aries April 9th. Mars is all about action, 555 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:04,680 mobilization, confrontation, getting ready, coming to the 556 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,440 battle. And then Mercury moves into 557 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,880 areas on April 14th. And Mercury is consciousness and 558 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,400 cognition. So the internal and external 559 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,640 voices, our narratives, our thoughts, but then also how 560 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,680 thoughts become reality through conversation and what we amplify 561 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,920 and what we choose to learn and how we spread each other's 562 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,000 messages. So from now through the middle 563 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,640 of April, these preparation themes are are themes to be 564 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,600 working with and themes to be bringing into your everyday 565 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,280 however they might make sense for you.
