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

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

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

I love how astrology talks about human differences without hierarchy.
There are 12 different Mercury signs representing 12 fundamentally different thinking styles... And none of them is the default or better than the others.
Our most popular model of the solar system shows the planets moving in circles, so we tend to think in cycles.
But the sun flies through space, pulling the planets along in orbits that look like a spiral staircase.
And so we are meant to return. A little wiser, with a bit more insight.
When we are unraveling, Cancer meets us with a hug and a cup of tea and a box of tissues and a chair we can disappear in and a blanket and a plate of cookies and directions to the bathroom in case we want a long bath.
And then Cancer leaves us there.

My comment about soup yesterday probably makes a bit more sense after reading that, huh? 😅

So, I had no idea what would happen this weekend when I wrote this week's Leo Risings post.
Just saying...
leorisings.substack.com/p/this-is-wh...
We have some really big energy shifts coming up in the next week. Mercury and Jupiter are moving into Cancer, and Venus is going into Taurus.
All of this amounts to a downshift and a turning inward, especially for Leo risings who have Cancer in the 12th house.

The week ahead forecast for Leo Risings is out!
Highlights:
- 1st Quarter Moon in Virgo
- Jupiter-Venus sextile just before Venus goes into Taurus
- Mercury-Jupiter conjunction just before they both go into Cancer

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

Leo risings, the moon enters our 12th house today. The moon is still in the New phase, so it's especially important to slow down and feel feelings
From this week's Leo Risings forecast:
We make a mistake when we tell people not to waste their time on magic with world changing intentions.
A spell is like a vote. One vote won't change the world, but a million will.
If we want to live in a democracy, we need to learn to live this truth, and magic is a good teacher.
Mercury returns home to Gemini, and what does he find?

The 4th House is your roots, the roots you carry everywhere. Your ancestral inheritance. Your DNA.
The 3rd house is your environment, your city, the land, the roots that grow (or don't) in a particular place.
#astrology
Gemini knows...
Words build worlds and tear them down.
The alphabet is a magic spell.
A story doesn't exist until it's spoken, then lives rent-free in your head forever.
Language is an ephemeral thing, but a barrage of words can hide your escape as effectively as a squid's cloud of ink.

"If you find yourself lost and confused during Gemini season, fall back on Taurus. Make something with your hands. Like a cake. Or take a quick nap. Listen to some music or a guided meditation. And don't forget to put down your phone."

May you go into Gemini season with grounding and purpose.
May you know what you desire deep in your core
May you walk on slowly, calmly, and steadily.
May you, in other words, bring the gifts of Taurus into this mercurial season, and, in you, may the bull and the twins dance.
#astrology
I called myself out, too, ngl 😭

Leo Risings is entering a new experimental phase. This week, I’m playing around with getting back to this project’s transit-tracking roots with a week ahead astrological weather report.

Jupiter in Gemini has taught me that the brain needs time to digest like the stomach.
It has taught me that brain fog, anxiety, overwhelm follow when my brain is full and I don't listen.
It has taught me to have a diverse media diet and practice hobbies that use my hands.

The Bard is an important archetype for Leo, but what is a bard?
Traveling storyteller Michael Williams shares his answer in today's post on Leo Risings.

I am taking a writing sabbatical next week
I'll be publishing a post by Michael Williams about what it means to be a bard on Leo Risings on Wednesday.

It isn't a real relationship unless someone cares if you (YOU, not "a person") show up.
(This message is brought to you by the moon, Pluto, and Jupiter in air signs.)
