Sun Enters Aquarius (January 20, 2024)

Aquar­ius by Jake Baddeley

The Way

The Zodi­ac, what I like to call the “Cir­cle of the Liv­ing Ones”, is not some­thing “out there”, found in a net­work of stars that seem­ing­ly sur­round our Solar Sys­tem. We must free our minds from this mate­ri­al­ized and lim­it­ed con­cep­tion of real­i­ty and instead under­stand that the whole of Cre­ation exists as a hier­ar­chy of dimen­sions of Ener­gy-Forms, rang­ing from the sur­pass­ing­ly ethe­re­al to the most phys­i­cal. Through­out all these realms there is an order­ing and inter­con­nec­tion that is “formed and informed” by these Twelve arche­types, with the Signs in effect form­ing the design-body and bestow­ing the mean­ings found at the root of the small­est of ener­gy-forms, the mon­ads, which are the sparks of the Divine at the cen­ter of one and all.

Accord­ing to the ancient teach­ings, the One became the many, and what we call these spir­i­tu­al mon­ads at the heart of every ener­gy-form of the cos­mos began their remark­able jour­ney, which is the sto­ry of Cre­ation. It is these mon­ads at the root of all, who in their alchem­i­cal com­bi­na­tions bring about the birth, death, and rebirth that we expe­ri­ence as “life”. It is by these series of end­less trans­fig­u­ra­tions that the whole of Cre­ation is forged into the many king­doms of life that fill the spaces of space, which range from the atoms to mol­e­cules to all of the beings, plan­ets, and stars, and it is they, in their total­i­ty, which are the majesty and mys­tery of the One made manifest.

Today you move into the penul­ti­mate realm in the hous­es of the holy, into the last of the airy signs and the final fixed sign known as Aquar­ius. At this time of the year, and for­ev­er some­where in your very own chart too, you seek to know and under­stand what comes next, what comes after your accom­plish­ments and rewards that you reaped in Capri­corn. For it was there that you reached a greater degree of per­son­al self-mas­tery; you not only knew what was true, but you under­stood that this was not enough, because you are here to be this very truth too.

Hav­ing ful­filled your respon­si­bil­i­ties, to your fam­i­ly, through your work and with­in your com­mu­ni­ty, you might indeed won­der, “what comes next, what do I do now?” And from the Ancient Ones will come the answer, that it is not enough to pro­tect and pre­serve what was made by your ances­tors and most recent­ly by your­self, because the spir­it that is you is not made or held by what was. No, the eter­nal light of the One that burns with­in is ever intent to reach for the unmet promise, that unre­al­ized dream of what you and your world are yet to be.

Why are you here, real­ly? You are here for one rea­son, to become a bet­ter human. That being human means you are on the path of awak­en­ing that will lead to your self-ful­fill­ment as a ful­ly con­scious co-cre­ator of Cre­ation, what is known as a “free mon­ad”, and no longer utter­ly bound to the law of kar­ma. Yes, you are on a path that leads to true free­dom, and your pur­pose is to free your­self. But this is also true about the way you become free, that you will equal­ly do this for one anoth­er too for this is the way of the liv­ing spir­it, the com­mu­ni­ty of light and love.

Because it is in Aquar­ius that you under­stand this essen­tial truth of being human, that you would not be human, you would not be you at all, were it not for all with whom you have jour­neyed on this path of awak­en­ing. You are the way to one another’s cre­ation, and all that you are is because of the innu­mer­able souls with whom you have been in this life, and in all of your many lives too. Your feel­ings and thoughts, the source of you and your har­vest too, your dreams and deeds, all of this you did with one anoth­er, so that you made you through one anoth­er, and all of these many souls live on in parts of you as you are a part of them, for­ev­er. Tru­ly, you are not an “I” but a “we”, a host of thoughts, of loves and lives that are with you always, as you are part of them for­ev­er too.

This is the heart of the teach­ing held by Aquar­ius. That you are part of a great human fel­low­ship, a great fam­i­ly of souls, and it is by our fel­low­ships and friend­ships, it is by our dream­ing and doing and lov­ing one anoth­er, it is by each and every one of us seek­ing and striv­ing togeth­er to make a bet­ter life, it is by this way of love that we forge a bet­ter world for one and for all.

Yes, it is for this dream, our dream of the future, that is how and why we are here. We have made our many lives through our loves and by our com­mu­ni­ties, and we built for one anoth­er these dreams that made us more per­fect by our love for one anoth­er. Yes, it is because we are human, that every one of us is part of some­thing greater, and these ener­gy-forms of our count­less inter­re­la­tion­ships is where we wield the forge of Cre­ation, which is the alche­my of love, of being the source for one anoth­er of the dream come true for one another.

Aquar­ius looks at what is, and dreams of the bet­ter world that is yet to be. We are the seeds of the future; we are the mak­ers of our­selves and the world that was and will be.

You are here for what is to come; and you here, for one another.

And you must remem­ber, you are all for one and one for all; this is our Way.

As it was in the begin­ning, so shall it be in the end.

We are here for one thing only,

We are here because of love.

We are here to love and be loved.

We are here for the future and the dawn of a bet­ter day.

Let it be, may we all be.

The Way.

Astro­log­i­cal Mus­ings — 2024 Pre­view, a look ahead

(If you wish to lis­ten to the show instead, here is the link on BlogTalk or Apple Pod­casts)

As we move into 2024, it is time for us to con­sid­er what Astro­log­i­cal con­di­tions will pre­vail dur­ing this year and beyond. The major plan­e­tary align­ment of this year includes the first major aspect of Sat­urn to Plu­to since their last con­junc­tion in Jan­u­ary 2020, which is a semi-square that is exact in May, Sep­tem­ber, and Jan­u­ary of 2025. 2024 will also be the final year of Pluto’s tran­si­tion from the sign of Capri­corn to Aquar­ius, and it will the final full year for both Nep­tune in Pisces before it tran­si­tions to Aries, and final full year for Uranus in Tau­rus before it tran­si­tions to Gem­i­ni. Those shifts indi­cate that we will cer­tain­ly be in a much dif­fer­ent world by 2025 and beyond.

This year will also have the usu­al repeat­ing phe­nom­e­na of the Solar and Lunar eclipses, three Mer­cury in ret­ro­grades, and Jupiter chang­ing signs. I will do anoth­er show soon where we will look at some of the major nation­al and lead­er­ship charts to see what we might under­stand about the year ahead from that per­spec­tive as well.

Sat­urn semi-square Pluto
The most impor­tant aspect in the heav­ens this year is the first align­ment of Sat­urn with Plu­to since their con­junc­tion or “new moon” of Jan­u­ary 2020. The cycle of Sat­urn and Plu­to, from con­junc­tion to con­junc­tion, lasts from between 33 to 38 years, and it con­cerns the inte­gral bal­ance between Order (Sat­urn) and Will (Plu­to), or Struc­ture and Sacred Space, or Spir­it mate­ri­al­ized and the Alchem­i­cal force that is behind the entire­ty of Cre­ation. In Mun­dane or World­ly Astrol­o­gy, this cycle informs the birth/death/rebirth of new polit­i­cal, eco­nom­ic, and social struc­tures. Often the cycle begins with the end­ing of some kind of order, a break­down and then a rebuild­ing of the ways of the exer­cise of pow­er through struc­ture, of the ways in which order and dis­or­der and reorder echo down the ages. The most recent con­junc­tions have been:

The first of the 20th cen­tu­ry occurred in 1914, with World War I which we could see as the penul­ti­mate war in the his­to­ry of col­o­niza­tion. The sub­se­quent semi-square of 1918 brought the end of that war but also the great Influen­za epi­dem­ic of 1918–1919. The con­junc­tion of 1947–48, saw the real begin­nings of decol­o­niza­tion, with the par­ti­tion of India and Pak­istan, the emer­gence of Chi­na final­ly free from for­eign con­trol, but also the estab­lish­ment of the state of Israel. The sub­se­quent semi-square in 1951 saw the Kore­an War, and many oth­er South Asian and African wars of post-colo­nial strug­gles; the Saturn/Pluto con­junc­tion of 1982–83 saw Israel invade Lebanon, (which it did not com­plete­ly leave until 2000), but also the “birth” of the inter­net, and a num­ber of mil­i­tary gov­ern­ments being replaced by civil­ian ones in as in Argenti­na and Turkey. The sub­se­quent semi-square in 1988 saw the first inter­net virus, and the begin­ning of the end to the Iron Cur­tain and cold war as the Sovi­et Union tried to open up its eco­nom­ic sys­tem and Hun­gary opened up to trav­el between the east and the west.

Now we have our most recent con­junc­tion of 2020, and we have cer­tain­ly expe­ri­enced the struc­tures and sys­tems around the world being over­matched and over­whelmed by a world-wide pan­dem­ic. We have been made aware how our sys­tem of meet­ing human needs by means of an intri­cate glob­al trade struc­ture has been proven to be vul­ner­a­ble and lack­ing in resilien­cy. The very way in which we have become inter­con­nect­ed and inter­de­pen­dent, both mate­ri­al­ly and vir­tu­al­ly, has over­whelmed and thrown into dis­re­pute the gov­ern­ing insti­tu­tions with­in and between nations, as what had been assumed to be a uni­ver­sal lib­er­al polit­i­cal and eco­nom­ic order has been bat­tered and some­times shat­tered by forces of reac­tion and rev­o­lu­tion, by extrem­ists on the right and the left. What we are see­ing around the world is a glob­al expe­ri­ence of Mil­len­ni­al move­ments, whose adher­ents either want to return their world to a myth­ic “gold­en age”, or to a final judge­ment in which their fol­low­ers will be spared and exalted.

What this year’s semi-square may hold for us, there is tru­ly no way to know for cer­tain. All we can know is that the essen­tial inter­de­pen­den­cies and inter­con­nec­tiv­i­ties of the nat­ur­al world, the beau­ti­ful yet vul­ner­a­ble hier­ar­chy of nature’s ecosys­tems, com­bined with the effects of our eco­nom­ic world dri­ven by infi­nite con­sump­tion on a finite plan­et are grow­ing not fad­ing. We will cer­tain­ly expe­ri­ence ever greater waves of dis­tur­bances, mass migra­tions of peo­ples flee­ing cli­mate dis­as­ters and insti­tu­tion­al fail­ures, and this inescapable real­i­ty is being brought to bear as the pri­ma­ry and exis­ten­tial chal­lenge fac­ing human­i­ty is the threat of cli­mate change, a trans­for­ma­tion of our world that we have cre­at­ed, and which is becom­ing ever weird­er and wilder.

The Out­er Planets
But we must always remem­ber that the plan­e­tary indi­ca­tions from Uranus, Nep­tune and Plu­to are still the major shapers for any peri­od of his­to­ry. We have looked at them recent­ly, and we will look at them again in a lat­er show, but we need to remem­ber that we are at the cusp of three major tran­si­tions. Plu­to is mov­ing into Aquar­ius in 2024 until 2044, Nep­tune is begin­ning its move into Aries next year until 2039, and Uranus is begin­ning its move into Gem­i­ni next year until 2033. The last time Plu­to was in Aquar­ius was 1778 to 1798, the same time as the Amer­i­can and French Rev­o­lu­tions and Napoleon Bona­parte. The last time Nep­tune was in the sign of Aries was 1862 to 1875, encom­pass­ing the US Civ­il War and Recon­struc­tion. The last time Uranus was in Gem­i­ni was 1935 to 1942, the first half of the Sec­ond World War. As much as we may have been frus­trat­ed by the rigid­i­ty between groups and fac­tions over the past many years, these shifts of the major plan­ets will mean that we are going to see a rearrangement/realignment of issues and peo­ples from 2025 onwards.

With so many out­er plan­ets mov­ing into new signs, the com­bi­na­tion­al or ener­getic spir­i­tu­al vibra­tions will cre­ate new oppor­tu­ni­ties (and new solu­tions) to our present-day chal­lenges. But they will also nec­es­sar­i­ly give rise to new prob­lems too. It is upon each one of us to under­stand the mean­ings and mes­sages of the plan­ets, but most espe­cial­ly remem­ber the fun­da­men­tal truths and wis­dom that should guide our thoughts and shape our actions year after year. If we can remain cen­tered by the ever­last­ing truths, then we will be able to respond much bet­ter to these plan­e­tary influ­ences and not react with fear.

Eclipses
Nor­mal­ly every year we will have two Solar and two Lunar eclipses, and this is also true for 2024, with a Lunar eclipse on March 25, a Solar eclipse on April 8, a Lunar eclipse on Sep­tem­ber 18, and a Solar eclipse on Octo­ber 2.

Solar eclipses are more sig­nif­i­cant, and their influ­ence can be expect­ed to last until the next Solar eclipse around six months lat­er, until the next Solar eclipse. The Lunar eclipses are under­stood to influ­ence the next 30 days, until the next full Moon.

Solar and Lunar eclipses hap­pen when the orbital posi­tion of the Earth around the Sun, and the orbital posi­tion of the Moon around Earth match up so that either the Moon cre­ates a shad­ow by block­ing out the Sun (at the New Moon), or the Earth cre­ates a shad­ow that falls upon the Moon when it is full.

The March 25th penum­bral lunar eclipse, which means the Moon only enters the penum­bra of the Earth’s shad­ow and just dims, hap­pens around 3 am EDT at 5 degrees and 7 min­utes in Libra, and weath­er per­mit­ting it will be vis­i­ble in the USA. If you have any plan­et or chart angle around this degree, it will be impor­tant to con­sid­er its mean­ing for the next month or so.

The April 8th total solar eclipse is exact at 2:20 pm EDT at 19 degrees and 24 min­utes of Aries, and the eclipse path of total­i­ty will sweep across the USA from the south­west to the north­east. If you have any plan­et or chart angle around this degree, it will be very impor­tant to con­sid­er its mean­ing to you for the next six months, and the area of your chart it falls in will be high­light­ed for that same period.

The path of total­i­ty will sweep from Mex­i­co and into Texas, then up through Arkansas and Mis­souri into South­ern Illi­nois, and into Indi­ana and Ohio, then on into west­ern New York and through north­ern Ver­mont and New Hamp­shire, through Maine before final­ly end­ing in the east­ern provinces of Canada.
Here is a map of the April Eclipse Path:

I had actu­al­ly men­tioned this eclipse in 2017, because in August of that year we had anoth­er total eclipse sweep across the USA from the north­west to the south­east, start­ing in Ore­gon and arch­ing through the Mid­west and inter­sect­ing the 2024 eclipse in south­ern Illi­nois and mov­ing fur­ther south­east to exit in South Carolina.

It seems rather sig­nif­i­cant to me, and I am sure to many oth­ers, that the USA will have expe­ri­enced two total Solar eclipses, 7 years apart, that form a per­fect “X” cen­tered just east of the con­ti­nen­tal cen­ter of the USA, and actu­al­ly right on the medi­an spot for pop­u­la­tion of the USA. Here is a map of the two Eclipse paths:

The Sep­tem­ber 17th par­tial lunar eclipse, which means the Moon enters most of the full shad­ow of the Earth, but a small cres­cent appears on one side, is exact at 10:34 pm at 25 degrees and 41 min­utes of Pisces, and weath­er per­mit­ting will be vis­i­ble in the USA. If you have any plan­et or chart angle around this degree, it will be impor­tant to con­sid­er its mean­ing for the next month.

Final­ly, the Octo­ber 2 annu­lar solar eclipse, which means the Moon is a lit­tle too far away from the Earth, so that a small ring of sun­light, which is called the “annu­lus”, is seen around the Moon and is exact at 2:49 pm EDT at 10 degrees and 4 min­utes of Libra. It begins in the Cen­tral Pacif­ic and arch­es down to South Amer­i­ca pass­ing through south­ern Chile and Argenti­na. If you have a sig­nif­i­cant plan­et of chart angle around 10 degrees of Libra, you will expe­ri­ence this area of your life becom­ing more con­se­quen­tial for the next six months.
Here is a map of the Octo­ber Eclipse path:

Mer­cury Retrogrades
Let us now con­sid­er the Mer­cury ret­ro­grades for 2024. Usu­al­ly, we will have three Mer­cury ret­ro­grades in a year, and that is true for 2024. Of course, we did begin this New Year with Mer­cury turn­ing direct on Jan­u­ary 1, as it had been ret­ro­grad­ing since Decem­ber 13th.

The mean­ing and mes­sage of each ret­ro­grade peri­od will be indi­cat­ed by what sign or signs Mer­cury is mov­ing back­wards through, and for each of us indi­vid­u­al­ly by what house or hous­es of your chart it is mov­ing through as well.

No mat­ter what, the Mer­cury ret­ro­grade peri­od presents an oppor­tu­ni­ty for every­one to become more reflec­tive and pen­sive, more drawn to and more able to take advan­tage of this time of intro­spec­tion, so as to help clear up poor think­ing or com­mu­ni­ca­tion by self-crit­i­cal analy­sis. In so doing, your man­ner of observ­ing, think­ing, and com­mu­ni­cat­ing with one anoth­er is improved and uplifted.

But each peri­od also requires that we remem­ber that the “weath­er” has changed for one and all, and although every­one is affect­ed by this shift of ener­gy-forms, many do not know what is hap­pen­ing or how to man­age it. That is why we expe­ri­ence a rise in mis­com­mu­ni­ca­tions and a surge of mis­un­der­stand­ings in the world gen­er­al­ly. In each encounter between one per­son and anoth­er, the gen­er­al con­di­tion for all minds means that either one or both indi­vid­u­als are not receiv­ing as well as they might think, nor are they trans­mit­ting as well as they should.

So, dur­ing these peri­ods we should use this time for mind­ful, thought­ful self-renew­al, but when engaged in com­mu­ni­ca­tions with oth­ers we must strive to lis­ten or read more care­ful­ly and speak or write more clearly.

The first Mer­cury ret­ro­grade of 2024 begins on April 1st and ends on April 25th, with Mer­cury mov­ing from 27 degrees of Aries back to 16 degrees of Aries. What­ev­er area of your chart this involves, by which I mean what­ev­er house or house it is mov­ing through and what plan­ets it may con­tact, you will find it impor­tant or nec­es­sary to review and revise your thoughts about this area of your life. For one and all, since this ret­ro­grade is in Aries, behind the issues being addressed will be the Aries expe­ri­ence of being more mind­ful of your “pres­ence”, by your atti­tude and demeanor, so that you can meet each moment of the eter­nal now in the most mean­ing­ful manner.

The sec­ond Mer­cury ret­ro­grade begins ear­ly on August 5th for the USA east coast, but in the late evening of the 4th for the rest of the USA, mov­ing from 4 degrees of Vir­go back to 21 degrees of Leo when it turns direct on August 28th. Again, what­ev­er area of your chart this involves you will need to review and revise your under­stand­ing of that. For one and for all, since this ret­ro­grade involves both Vir­go and Leo, it will encom­pass and link both sign’s mean­ings. For the Vir­go phase, a time to reflect and amend the “order” of one’s life, to strive to main­tain or bring into greater inte­gra­tion all the parts of your life, and dur­ing the Leo phase to reflect on the mean­ing of respect for one­self and for one another.

The third and final Mer­cury ret­ro­grade begins on Novem­ber 25, and ends on Decem­ber 15th, mov­ing from 23 degrees Sagit­tar­ius back to 6 degrees Sagit­tar­ius. As before, what­ev­er area of your chart this involves, you should use these three weeks to reflect and revise your under­stand­ing of that. For one and all, the ret­ro­grade through Sagit­tar­ius will pro­vide a peri­od to ques­tion the hier­ar­chy of truths and beliefs that form and guide your under­stand­ing and actions.

Jupiter
The plan­et Jupiter is the largest in our solar sys­tem and com­pletes an orbit of the Sun rough­ly every 12 years. That means Jupiter will spend about one year in each sign. Since May 16, 2023, Jupiter has been in the sign of Tau­rus. It will enter Gem­i­ni on May 25, 2024, and remain there until it moves into Can­cer on June 9, 2025.

Jupiter is the path­way to and the ves­sel of Truth, whether those truths be Spir­i­tu­al or Meta­phys­i­cal or Sci­en­tif­ic or Cul­tur­al. What­ev­er sign your Jupiter is in your chart, it will indi­cate the type of truths you will guide your life by, and the path­way you will fol­low to reach a greater under­stand­ing. But just as there are many paths that will lead us to our even­tu­al awak­en­ing, we should be open each year to the var­i­ous forms of truth that Jupiter will hold for us as it moves through the signs.

When Jupiter is in Tau­rus, it will fos­ter a pur­pose­ful and per­sis­tent search for the truth. Those who have Jupiter in Tau­rus will hold to a firm belief in Teach­ings and Val­ues that are Eter­nal. Any indi­vid­ual with Jupiter in Tau­rus has an under­ly­ing opti­mism and faith in human­i­ty, or real­ly in all of life or Spir­it. Most indi­vid­u­als with Jupiter in Tau­rus have an abid­ing belief that human­i­ty is on a con­tin­u­ous and upward path that will lead to the ful­fill­ment of some form of a Divine Plan. Dur­ing this past year and until May 25th, human­i­ty has been influ­enced by Jupiter to fol­low a path to Truth that is found­ed and forged by Ever­last­ing Val­ue, which is of course Divine Love.

When Jupiter is in Gem­i­ni, it will fos­ter a path of devel­op­ment that is formed by an insa­tiable curios­i­ty and con­stant exchange of infor­ma­tion. Any indi­vid­ual with Jupiter in Gem­i­ni will be more able to take the often-times chaot­ic mul­ti­plic­i­ties of inputs from the uni­verse and be more capa­ble of orga­niz­ing and giv­ing them coher­ent mean­ings, where­as for many for oth­ers they might expe­ri­ence this surge of ener­gy as noise or even chaos.

Dur­ing the upcom­ing peri­od of Jupiter in Gem­i­ni, human­i­ty will be influ­enced to fol­low a path to Truth that is filled with insa­tiable curios­i­ty and won­der. The injunc­tion with Jupiter in Gem­i­ni is that no mat­ter what lev­el of under­stand­ing you have achieved, in order to remain true to your spir­i­tu­al nature you must fol­low the eter­nal Voice of the Silence which whis­pers, “Walk On!” Those who claim to have all the answers will be seen for who they tru­ly are, they know nothing.

More­over, 2024 will be the first of the four major align­ments that Jupiter will make with Sat­urn dur­ing their cycle of 20 years, which is the wax­ing square. The begin­ning of their last cycle in Decem­ber of 2020 was his­toric, as it was the start of a new 200-year cycle of Jupiter and Sat­urn con­junc­tions in the Air signs, start­ing with Aquar­ius. The pre­vi­ous con­junc­tions of Jupiter and Sat­urn were: 1980–81, 1961, 1940–41 and 1921. And the moments like our own of pre­vi­ous wax­ing squares were: 1986, 1965, 1945 and 1926.

What was released at the end of 2020 has reached a crit­i­cal turn­ing point. The oppor­tu­ni­ty is put before us to choose which way we will go now, either to rise with courage and faith, or to fall back­wards because of fear.

The wax­ing square presents us with a chal­lenge, whether we should choose one way or the oth­er, or whether we can find a way to hold togeth­er two very dif­fer­ent ener­gy-forms, to find a way to blend two very dif­fer­ent mes­sages and ways of act­ing in order to meet this moment of the chal­lenges laid before us, (and we must always remem­ber that those real chal­lenges are what we forged in the past by our pri­or actions and inactions).

The ques­tion posed by the square is in our case between Sat­urn in Pisces and Jupiter in Gem­i­ni. If we can find a way to hold them togeth­er, we will find the wis­dom that is there on the mid­dle path of spir­it. If we choose to hold to one and deny the oth­er, then we will like­ly fail to make the most of the choic­es we need to make.

Since Sat­urn is the “slow­er” mov­ing plan­et in this pair­ing, we should con­sid­er that its mean­ing and mes­sage should shape and guide the expres­sion of Jupiter as we face what­ev­er chal­lenge is before us. Sat­urn in Pisces reminds you of your ulti­mate test, which is that the only thing you have to fear is fear itself. That means if are you still a cap­tive of fear, cir­cum­scribed by your own self-cast shad­ows and a fear-filled fatal­ist about your life, if this is so you will be unable to pierce through the cacoph­o­ny of Jupiter in Gem­i­ni, with those count­less points of views and dis­trac­tions will lead you into a morass of half-truths and confusion.

But if you have begun to under­stand that you are a Creator/Dreamer, who has a liv­ing faith that is found­ed upon your Immor­tal spir­i­tu­al nature, then you will know that you have noth­ing to fear what­so­ev­er. Anchored by your high­er self, you will be able to dis­cern fact from fic­tion, truth from half-truths, and you will know in your heart and in your mind what you must do. You will see through the shad­ows and fog, and the bright shin­ing light that is there with­in every one of us, the light sub­lime, Divine Uncon­di­tion­al Love, will inspire your thoughts and guide your steps as you meet the choic­es that 2024 will bring.

May the Light of Truth, Love and Under­stand­ing be with you all, now and for­ev­er more.

May it be.

Bill Attride : 2024 Astrological Forecast — The Suzane Northrop Show

This month, Suzane wel­comes a spe­cial guest, Bill Attride to dis­cuss the pos­si­bil­i­ties for 2024.

Bill is known for his unique inte­gra­tion of the spir­i­tu­al and the psy­cho­log­i­cal dimen­sions of Astrol­o­gy. He has been fea­tured in arti­cles in such diverse pub­li­ca­tions as New Woman Mag­a­zine, Avenue Mag­a­zine and the Sun­day Busi­ness sec­tion of The New York Times.

Bill is a bril­liant astrologer who can shed fur­ther light on what to expect in 2024. Suzane had Bill on as her guest for the first show of the last sev­er­al years; he got great reviews each time, so he is return­ing for Suzane’s first show of 2024!

Join me tonight on Suzane’s BlogTalk radio show at 6 pm EST.

Astrological Musings — 2024 Preview, a look ahead (January 7, 2024)

In my first show of 2024, we will con­sid­er the plan­e­tary indi­ca­tions for 2024 (and beyond).

Among the more sig­nif­i­cant fac­tors we will look at are the Solar and Lunar Eclipses and Mer­cury in ret­ro­grade peri­ods. Jupiter will be mov­ing into Gem­i­ni and squar­ing Sat­urn, which is their first major aspect since their con­junc­tion in 2020. And Sat­urn will be mak­ing its first sig­nif­i­cant align­ment with Plu­to since their con­junc­tion in 2020 too.

2024 is also the final year of Pluto’s tran­si­tion­ing from Capri­corn into Aquar­ius, and 2024 will be the last year before Uranus begins to move into Gem­i­ni and the last year before Nep­tune begins to move into Aries. If we have time, I might begin to address the 2024 major influ­ences in the USA chart as well.

If you wish to sug­gest a sub­ject or top­ic for a future show, please email me as I would be hap­py to hear from you. My email is: billattride@gmail.com.
