April and Jen bring you a packed episode, including a Cancer Last Quarter Moon, a Libra New Moon on a restful Sabian Symbol, and TWO chances to sing along with us! Three planets change direction (we’re looking at you Mercury, Pluto, Saturn); hungry Venus aspects Jupiter and Neptune, then enters Sagittarius and heads outdoors; and Mercury, the Sun, and Mars join up in a Libra mosh pit. Plus: the thrill of Podathon, a new 1960s TV reference, and… are there BSA podcast t-shirts in our future?

Go to https://www.BigSkyAstroPod.com to donate! Winners will be announced by email on Oct. 4 and on our Oct. 11 episode. . 02:16 – We begin WEEK ONE (Sep. 27-Oct. 3): Mercury turns retrograde (Rx) on Sep. 27 (1:10 am EDT). It will be Rx through Oct. 18. (To hear more about Mercury Rx, revisit Ep. 12 https://www.bigskyastrology.com/episode-12/.) . 05:41 – *MOONWATCH* A Last Quarter Moon (LQM) at 6.08 Cancer might have us feeling that we’re moving in the right direction, yet there is a sense of nostalgia for what is left behind (Sep. 28). . 08:07 – Romance, music, divine escapism: Venus, at 21.22 Scorpio, trines Neptune in Pisces (Sep. 29/30). . 09:07 – Biting off more than we can chew: Venus then squares Jupiter at 22.49 Aquarius (Sep. 30). . 10:20 – This LQM brings us back to July 2019, April 2020, and Dec. 2020. What stories from your life are linked to those times? . 11:20 – The Sun, at 6.59 Aquarius, trines Saturn in Aquarius (Sep. 29). It’s a good time to exert willpower, and possibly enlist help, in the direction of your goals. . 12:37 – We begin WEEK TWO with another *MOONWATCH!* The New Moon is at 13.24 Libra (Oct. 6) on the Sabian symbol, “A noon siesta.” But with workhorse Mars in the mix, we might not be feeling it. Maybe we could take a break with Hazel? https://bit.ly/3ofIquu Let’s send Jen a siesta for her birthday! . 16:03 – Pluto turns direct at 24.18 Capricorn (Oct. 6) on the symbol, “A mountain pilgrimage.” Seek empowerment rather than control of others. . 17:36 – Venus enters Sagittarius (Oct. 7)! Go outdoors, try something from a different culture, cultivate adventure in relationships, and put a little Libra in your Sag finances! . 19:10 – The Sun joins Mars at 15.05 Libra (Oct. 7). While it’s a good time to advocate for yourself, avoid physical over-exertion or risk-taking. . 20:11 – A dance: then Mercury joins the Sun (9:18am PDT) and Mars (3:48pm) on Oct. 9. This is the second of three conjunctions between Aug. and Nov. They’re intertwined, bringing a focus to our will (Sun), communication (Mercury), and action (Mars) as it relates to relationships (Libra). . 22:30 – Saturn turns direct at 6.52 Aquarius (Oct. 10) on the symbol, “A child born of an eggshell.” Perhaps a time to explore new ideas or directions that seem unusual. . 24:05 – Thanks for listening and supporting the podcast!
