The Darkness & The Innovation Of Uranus In Gemini
#153
Last Friday at 8:13 AM

I really wanted to look at the darker forces within the ai and digital world since the revolutionary planet Uranus is moving into the Gemini, the sign of communication and connections. In this episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Podcast I want to look at how these shadow forces operate and why they will become more prevalent including:

Uranus as a planet that is gaining traction, building its influence, which means it will increase own activity but also enhance its influence via our hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal glandsHow entities, shadow forces with consciousness can live within our digital...

#152
06/27/2025

Since we have had two Yod’s pointing at Mercury in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius, I felt the need to look at the Pluto in Leo generation who will be experiencing the Pluto opposition over the next few years, which is a super challenging aspect. Donald Trump has this of course, so in this week’s episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast we look at the bravado this engenders and:

The Depth of Empathy Inherent In the Cancer new Moon Conjunct Jupiter
#151
06/20/2025

I don’t think we can quite quantify what a profound opportunity of shift the New Moon in Cancer conjunct Jupiter represents, so in this week’s episode of the Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast, I look at some of the deeper factors around childcare, mother issues and of course the huge opportunity for ending aggressive war tactics. 

Will the empathy generated by this Cancer New Moon conjunct Jupiter be so great that the populace will rise and demand and end to the global antagonism?How Jupiter’s stay in Cancer for 13 months will allow us to work on our...

#150
06/14/2025

It will come as no surprise to astrologers that the Full Moon in Sagittarius, as part of a Grand Fire Trine, brought us so many explosions across the world, so I look at this in this week’s Venus & Vesta Evolutionary Astrology Podcast and also:

The Grand Fire Trine in Israel PM Netanyahu’s chart which matches the Full Moon Grand Fire Trine of this week, that was clearly huge fire powerWhat Mars applying to a square with Uranus means, rather than the square itselfUranus activity around uranium enrichment to break the international nuclear agreement and trigger violent atta...
