So Divine!

In this episode of So Divine!, Stephanie and Megan explore the celestial landscape for August. They discuss Chiron stationing retrograde, amplifying themes around Chiron's signature wounded healer archetype. They advocate for extra doses of self-care and compassion given our “ouch spots” may be triggered. They talk about the August Eclipses: the Leo Solar Eclipse and the Virgo Lunar Eclipse, and how it's helpful to embrace not-knowing and staying flexible as clarity is often eclipsed during this time. They explore the Lunar Nodes shifting into the Aquarius and Leo polarity, joining the outer planets now also residing in air and fire signs; with this, they note that while we’re focused on ideas and inspiration, that it’s still important to find sources of groundedness (earth) and emotional fluency (water) in our lives. They talk about the Minor Triangle being joined by Venus and Mercury mid-month, and how this turns the spotlight towards our relationships and communication. Stephanie chooses the tarot card for the month at random, the Six of Pentacles, and Megan explains how this card representing generosity and balanced-giving beautifully mirrors many of the astrological themes for the month.

In this episode of So Divine!, Stephanie and Megan discuss the celestial landscape for August, noting that the Saturn/Neptune Conjunction—which encourages us to pay attention to form and the formless, time and the timeless--plays a significant role throughout the month. They discuss how with Venus squaring the conjunction as the month begins it’s important to stay aware of whether our notions about love and money are idealistic or realistic. They speak about how with Mars opposing the conjunction, we’re pulled to fight compassionately for what we find authentic while also watching the dissipation of our boundaries and energy reserves. They highlight the Venus/Jupiter Conjunction, a yearly alignment that encourages us to focus on love and delight. Speaking of Venus, they note how when it opposes Pluto later this month, we may feel a greater drive to bring honesty to our relationships. Stephanie chooses a tarot card at random, the Two of Pentacles, and Megan describes how this card emphasizes the need to put our finances in order and be in alignment with what we value.

In this month's episode of So Divine!, Stephanie and Megan explore the celestial landscape for June. They begin by discussing the Saturn/Neptune Conjunction in Aries, and how these strange planetary bedfellows present quite a dichotomy: as Saturn represents form and material reality while Neptune is associated with formlessness and transcendence. They share ways to synthesize their concurrent invitations including through working hard to architect vessels (Saturn) for compassion, artistry, and unconditional love (Neptune). They dig into Jupiter’s move into Cancer, where it will reside for the next year, and how Cancerian themes such as family, home, homeland, and emotional intelligence may be quite prevalent. They speak to how with the Jupiter Cazimi, Cancer New Moon, and Summer Solstice happening this month, these themes are quite infused throughout most of June. Megan explores the tarot card for the month--the Emperor--and how this Aries-ruled archetype encourages us to take our thrones of personal sovereignty and consider how we wield our power in the world.

In this episode of So Divine!, Stephanie and Megan explore the celestial landscape for April. They begin with Mercury going direct in watery Pisces, and why our feelings and emotions may be heightened, readily spilling over into our communication and messaging. They talk about Venus, also in Pisces, going direct soon after and how it could amplify our connection to beauty and pleasure. They note how Venus will connect twice to structured Saturn this month, encouraging us to do the work necessary to bring our relationships and/or finances into greater alignment. They discuss the explosive Mars/Pluto Opposition, the third of three since November, and how it could bring hidden agendas to the surface, along with eruptions of anger and power struggles. They also discuss the lunations: the Libra Full Moon that connects with Chiron, which encourages us to look at any wounds that stifle us from fighting for what we feel is fair and just, as well as the Taurus New Moon which invites in a new alliance with sensuality and embodiment. Stephanie chooses a tarot card at random, the Page of Swords, and Megan explains how this card encourages our child-like curiosity, sense of adventure, and lightness of being.

In this episode of So Divine!, Stephanie and Megan explore the celestial landscape for February. They start by discussing the magical union between Venus, Neptune, and the North Node in Pisces that ushers in the month, which could have us feeling swept away in an ocean of emotional, romantic, creative, and spiritual inspirations. They discuss how Jupiter stationing direct soon after may bring opportunities for big conversations, expansive understanding, and rapid-fire messaging. As they speak about the Leo Full Moon, and how it makes a square to expect-the-unexpected Uranus, they note how important being open to new ideas and innovative ways of orienting may be. Their conversation then turns to Mars ending its two-plus month retrograde cycle and how we may find ourselves tapping into the desire to pursue our aims using the emotional awareness we’ve recently accessed. Stephanie chooses a tarot card at random--the Ace of Swords--and Megan explains how this powerful Ace offers new clarity and fresh inspiration to align with and pursue what is most essential to us.

In this episode of So Divine!, Stephanie and Megan explore the celestial landscape for December. They begin by discussing some signatures of this new Pluto-in-Aquarius era as well as how it’s part of a significant cosmic shift being ushered in with numerous planets changing signs next year. They talk about the Mars Retrograde in Leo that gets underway and how it invites us to not get ahead of ourselves, notably in regards to our creative desires. They explore what may arise given the interplay of the Neptune station, Sun/Jupiter Opposition, and Venus/Pluto Conjunction, the latter which Stephanie digs into with passionate insight. Noting that the Gemini Full Moon takes place on the same day as Mercury stations direct, they reflect upon how it’s an important moment to pay attention to communication as well as to moving at a pace that is support of our nervous systems. And no discussion of December would be complete without surveying the Solstice, which they do while also noting the sea change that occurs as the Sun shifts from Sagittarius to Capricorn. Stephanie chooses a Tarot card for the month at random--the Ace of Wands--and Megan explains how this fiery archetype can ignite our passion for rebirth and authenticity.

In this episode of So Divine!, Stephanie and Megan explore the celestial landscape for October. They start by discussing the Libra Solar Eclipse that occurs as the month begins and how it invites us to reflect upon the themes of relationship, truth, fairness, and harmony. With the Eclipse connecting to messenger Mercury, they note that while we’re galvanized to discuss, share, and learn, it’s important to be discerning when it comes to information gathering. They highlight how with both expansive Jupiter and dig-deep Pluto stationing retrograde within days of each other, we’re apt to experience big reveals and a desire to unearth that which has been hidden. They speak about this with a nod to the concept of the “October Surprise”—the potential for a news event to spark shifts in the political landscape—noting that whether movements happen in the world and/or in our personal lives, this month yields promise for significant transformation. They discuss the activated Aries Full Moon and how since it weaves in connections with both Mars and Pluto, we may find ourselves needing to move through conflicts to champion what we truly desire. Stephanie chooses a Tarot card at random--the Chariot--and Megan explains the beautiful synchronicity of this card and how it encourages us all to go after our dreams.
