100 | Aries Full Moon, Scorpio Season, & Our Centenary Episode!

Come on in, as April and Jen invite you to celebrate our 100th episode! In this episode, we hop into the way-back machine, laugh a lot, and tackle some astrology along the way: the musical Capricorn First Quarter Moon; a contentious Aries Full Moon (featuring quarrelsome Mars and Pluto); the Sun making a joyful aspect to Jupiter and a wretched aspect to Pluto before entering brooding Scorpio; and Mercury and Jupiter straighten up and fly right. Plus: beaucoup montages, April’s brand loyalty in relationships of all kinds, and too-tight shoes!

00:30 – Thanks, podpals, for celebrating 100 episodes with us! We couldn’t do it without you! Woot!
.
03:27 – We begin WEEK ONE (Oct. 11-17) with *MOONWATCH!* and a Capricorn First Quarter Moon (FQM) at 20° on Oct. 12 on the symbol, “A hidden choir singing.” Speaking of singing…
.
04:30 – Hop in the way-back machine with us, as we remember some of the songs we’ve sung along the way!
.
08:06 – Back to the FQM already in progress: Go ahead and break ground on an important project! This FQM brings us back to Jan. 12, 2021.
.
10:56 – The Sun in Libra is busy! A reward is possibly coming as it trines Jupiter at 22.20 Aquarius (Oct. 15). And as it squares Pluto at 24.20 Capricorn (Oct. 17), never forget you have a reason for being here! (Lend your ears to our shows on the US Pluto Return: Episode 29, Neptune Washing Over All, and the US Pluto Return and Episode 65, Mars, Uranus, and Revisiting the US Pluto Return.)
.
15:36 – Thanks to our non-imaginary sponsors over the past year: Faunabelle Tarot, Tenth House Creative, Shellie Crow Yoga, The Color Mage, and artist Victoria Pendragon! Let’s hop into the way-back machine once again as we revisit our imaginary sponsors!
.
21:21 – Are you interested in being a sponsor? Want to learn more? Drop us a line: April(at)bigskyastrology(dot)com
.
21:53 – We move on to WEEK TWO (Oct. 18-24) with Jupiter (Oct. 17 at 22.19 Aquarius) and Mercury (Oct. 18 at 10.07 Libra) stationing direct!
.
27:06 – *MOONWATCH!* We have a Full Moon (FM) at 27.26 Aries (Oct. 20), but first – let’s take a look at the evolution of the Moonwatch theme!
.
30:38 – This FM features a contentious T-square, including Mars in Libra squaring Pluto at 24.22 Cap (exact Oct. 21). The exit strategy is in Cancer, so enjoy home, favorite foods, and cuddling. This FM brings us back to March 2020 (Episode 17, Saturn in Aquarius: All in This Together) and June 2021 (Episode 84, Venus enters Cancer: Everything’s Coming Up Throw Pillows!) Push in the direction of fairness, and defend the powerless!
.
35:31 – A season of endings and the chance for new beginnings: the Sun enters Scorpio (Oct. 22)!
.
41:05 – This year’s Podathon raffle winners are announced! Thanks to ALL of our podpals who contributed during the Podathon!

099 | Libra New Moon: We Need a Siesta!

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?

.
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!

098 | Podathon Day Five: What Accents?!

It’s the final day of the second annual Big Sky Astrology PODATHON! In this episode: April & Jen celebrate a Venus-ruled Friday and the Venus-ruled Moon in Taurus! We talk about the void-of-course Moon, what the Moon enjoys when it’s in Gemini, and answer questions from non-imaginary sponsor Shellie Crow and listener Lara in Denmark, who has us asking the musical question, “What accents??”
This week, April & Jen bring you five daily mini-episodes in our Podathon extravaganza! JOIN US for up-close-and-personal looks at each day’s aspects! THRILL to our special Podathon theme! And best of all, HEAR ABOUT all the treats and opportunities coming your way as a donor to the podcast!

0:30 – We are brimming with enthusiasm, pep, and verve, as we finish Podathon week! Make your contribution at https://www.bigskyastropod.com. (And to learn about the astrology poster: https://www.tha-elegant-universe.com.)
.
5:34 – Friday is ruled by Venus! We talked about the planets’ rulership of the days in Ep. 3: https://bit.ly/39vJmSZ
.
6:00 – *MOONWATCH* The Taurus Moon joins Uranus (9:56am - ALL TIMES ARE PDT) and opposes Venus at 1:15pm. Beautify your home, get some flowers, have a relaxing day.
.
7:18 – Sep. 25, as we recover from the thrill of Podathon, the Moon sextiles Neptune at 12:23am, squares Jupiter at 3:48am, and goes void-of-course (VOC) at 6:09am on a trine to Pluto.
.
8:11 – More on the VOC Moon in Ep. 43 (https://bit.ly/3kuEIer) and Ep. 23 (https://bit.ly/39uusMY). The Moon’s last aspect before leaving a sign describes how matters of the previous 2-3 days resolve.
.
9:15 – With the Moon/Pluto trine, there is the sense of having made some progress about something over the past 2-3 days, if only a change in perspective. Moon enters Gemini at 5:36pm.
.
10:42 – The mood of a Gemini Moon is information-heavy. Return phone calls and emails, catch up on your reading, binge Ted Lasso!
.
11:42 – On Sep. 25, Mars in Libra trines Saturn in Aquarius at 2:50pm. This is a productive aspect in social air signs; get a group together to accomplish something.
.
13:16 – Delightful listener Lara from Denmark asks a good question (in an adorable accent!) about how to understand conjunctions in the birth chart. We resist the urge to burst into song as we answer. Not that she’d mind if we had!
.
14:56 – The influence of conjunctions in the chart depends on the planets involved. These planets can only work in tandem – and some are more comfortable together than others!
.
18:33 – April responds to a question from non-imaginary sponsor Shellie Crow about April’s artwork! Examples at her website: https://www.bigskyastrology.com
.
21:01 – That’s a wrap on PODATHON II! Thanks for listening, celebrating with us, and of course for your contributions! We’re closing in on our 100th episode AND two years of podcasting, and it wouldn’t be the same without all of you!

097 | Podathon Day Four: Cosmic Camaraderie!

It’s Day Four of the second annual Big Sky Astrology PODATHON! In this episode:
The Moon in Taurus, and Venus in Scorpio opposed Uranus in Taurus, trigger the larger theme of the ongoing square between Saturn and Uranus – which is, incidentally, the subject of a timely listener email question. Plus: planetary fellowship and cosmic camaraderie!
This week, April & Jen bring you five daily mini-episodes in our Podathon extravaganza! JOIN US for up-close-and-personal looks at each day’s aspects! THRILL to our special Podathon theme! And best of all, HEAR ABOUT all the treats and opportunities coming your way as a donor to the podcast!

.
5:14 – Venus at 14.19 Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus in the wee hours (2:41 am PDT). Venus in Scorpio can get so focused on what it wants that it can overlook other, promising possibilities. But the opposition to Uranus awakens us to other opportunities in relationships or finances that we might otherwise have missed. Create space in your life for new things, and a little breathing room in your relationships.
.
8:20 – Venus and Uranus remind us that the Lunar Nodes move into the Scorpio/Taurus axis early next year, and our opening eclipse in those signs is the Nov. 19 Lunar Eclipse in Taurus. We cover these in our donors-only special Equinox episode – donate just $5 to receive access to it, as well as the December Solstice episode! https://www.bigskyastropod.com
.
8:54 – MOONWATCH! Today, the Moon enters Taurus at 5:38 am PDT, and it’s time to take things slower and easier. Moods are a little more stable when the Moon is in Taurus. But the Moon’s square to Saturn (7:40 pm PDT) and conjunction to Uranus (9:56 am PDT), trigger the underlying tension of the ongoing Saturn/Uranus square. Which brings us to…
.
11:11 – A timely question from listener Birgitta about how long the Saturn/Uranus square will be plaguing influencing us? These titans meet each other in three exact aspects this year, on Feb. 17, June 14, and Dec. 24. But in Oct. 2022, Saturn stations direct within a hair’s breadth of square with Uranus. So throughout most of 2022, we can expect more clashes between regulation/rules and the breaking rules/recreating societal structures.
.
13:10 – For more thoughts on the Saturn/Uranus squares, revisit Ep. 69, Saturn and Uranus: That escalated quickly! https://www.bigskyastrology.com/episode-69/

096 | Podathon Day Three: Sun Psych!

It’s Day Three of the second annual Big Sky Astrology PODATHON! In this episode: April psyches Jen out with a new Sunwatch segment to celebrate the Libra Equinox! It’s harvest season in the Northern Hemisphere, spring for our antipodal podpals. We then offer a Moonwatch shoutout to today’s Aries Moon, including a couple of its key aspects before it turns void-of-course. Plus: peace, positivity, and puppies!

0:30 – This week, April and Jen are putting the fun in fundraising! (And to learn about the astrology poster: https://www.tha-elegant-universe.com.)
.
5:43 – The Sun’s ingress into the sign of Libra (Sep. 22, 12:21 pm PDT) marks the beginning of autumn and the peak of harvest season in the Northern Hemisphere, and in the Southern Hemisphere it’s time to plant new seeds for spring.
.
6:53 – Libra has a contrary side, sometimes playing Devil’s advocate in an attempt to bring balance to a conversation, and it won’t hesitate to fight for justice, equality, and fairness. We hasten to add that Libra also lives up to its reputation of loving peace, harmony, and puppies as well. Especially puppies.
.
9:53 – Relationships, ruled by Libra, also benefit from the airing of disagreements. And kittens!
.
10:34 – More about the Libra Equinox season in our special donor-only episode! Donate just $5 to get access to it! https://www.bigskyastropod.com
.
10:49 – Now it’s really Moonwatch! The Moon is still in Aries today. Be cautious of heeding an offer represented by the Sun sextile Jupiter at 4:42 pm, because the Moon square Pluto at 5:37 pm PDT suggests there might be something under the surface that could be uncomfortable.
.
11:53 – The Moon is void-of-course as of 7:04 pm PDT. (Revisit Ep. 23, Talking Taurus and the Void of Course Moon https://www.bigskyastrology.com/episode-23/ for more on that subject.)
.
12:32 – Summing up today, it’s about the polarity of the Sun entering Libra and the Moon in Aries, and how we might have to fight for peace, and air disagreements in order to have a solid collaboration with someone.

095 | Podathon Day Two: Sunstruck!

It’s Day Two of the second annual Big Sky Astrology PODATHON! In this episode: a feisty, energetic Moon in Aries; April reeks of Mars; and listener voicemails with eerily similar questions!
This week, April & Jen bring you five daily mini-episodes in our Podathon extravaganza! JOIN US for up-close-and-personal looks at each day’s aspects! THRILL to our special Podathon theme! And best of all, HEAR ABOUT all the treats and opportunities coming your way as a donor to the podcast!

0:30 – We celebrate Tuesday: Mars Day! (And to learn about the astrology poster: https://www.tha-elegant-universe.com.)
.
5:38 – ** Moonwatch!** Today the Moon is in Aries. The Moon’s sign and aspects symbolize the rhythm, pace, and mood of the day. In Aries, we want to do things quickly! It’s a good day for doing something new, since Aries is a pioneer and likes a challenge – especially since the Moon opposes Mars (4:02 am PDT).
.
7:34 – April reeks of Mars (but her progressed Sun is in Libra)!
.
7:46 – Eerily similar voicemail questions from listeners Elliott (points for spelling!) and Joe, who wonder what it means when the transiting Sun is moving through the sign of one’s Moon and/or Ascendant. April offers some thoughts!
.
10:46 – The Sun transiting over your Ascendant (once each year) is like your second birthday! The Ascendant is the beginning of the chart, and the Sun there is like sunrise in your birth chart. When the Sun is in this sign, put the spotlight on yourself.
.
11:57 – The Sun connecting with your natal Moon is a little more uncomfortable. The Moon wants quiet, comfort, and seclusion, and the Sun crossing over your Moon shines a bright light on your most private places.
.
14:07 – The Sun brings recognition and joy, but when it first crosses over, a fierce spotlight is focused on some area of your chart, making you notice things so you can attend to them.
.

094 | Podathon Day One: Full Moon Funfest!

It’s Day One of the second annual Big Sky Astrology PODATHON! In this episode, April and Jen take a look at today’s dreamy-but-uncomfortable Pisces Full Moon; perhaps Mercury’s lovely connection with Jupiter will help! Tonight, the Moon moves into initiating Aries. Plus: secret knowledge, Neptune’s effect on cogent thinking, and… does anyone recall what was happening in March of 2020?
This week, we bring you five daily mini-episodes in our Podathon extravaganza! JOIN US for an up-close-and-personal look at each day’s aspects! THRILL to our special Podathon theme! And best of all, HEAR ABOUT all the treats and opportunities coming your way as a donor to the podcast!

0:30 – It’s a fundraising fun-fest! We love that you’re joining us! Thank you! (And to learn about the astrology poster: https://www.tha-elegant-universe.com.)
.
05:45 – **MOONWATCH ** Podathon week begins with a Full Moon at 28.13 Pisces (Sep. 20, 4:55 pm PDT) on the Sabian Symbol “A prism.” This Full Moon positions the Sun in cerebral Virgo (conjunct Mars) against the dreamy, imaginative Pisces Moon (conjunct Neptune) (spoiler: Pisces/Neptune probably wins). Lunar phase family began at 4.12 Aries on March 24, 2020, with a First Quarter Moon at 0.34 Aries on Dec. 21, 2020.
.
9:40 – The Sun’s Sabian symbol at the Full Moon is 29 Virgo, “A man gaining secret knowledge from a paper he is reading.” The Sun in Virgo trine Pluto might refer to the “secret knowledge.” Virgo/Mercury appreciate their knowledge in tangible form, while, Pisces/Neptune is less literal, and more intuitive.
.
11:01 – Virgo and Pisces’s rulers, Mercury and Jupiter, form a trine aspect today (3:53 pm PDT). Together, they can make up something more than the sum of its parts.
.
11:59 – The Moon moves into Aries this evening at 8:12 pm PDT, and we’ll tell you more about that in tomorrow’s episode!
 
 

093 | Mars Enters Libra: Swing Your Partner!

It feels like home, as April and Jen launch into a one-week episode and prepare for next week’s second annual Podathon (daily episodes and prizes coming your way)! This week: an itchy Sagittarius First Quarter Moon; the Sun heeds the siren call of dreamy Neptune and gets a boost from powerful Pluto; a contrary Venus-Saturn square demands authenticity over appearances; and Mars enters Libra, so here’s to fighting fair! Plus: mind reading, speaking French, and do-si-doing!
Next week we bring you daily episodes for our second annual Podathon! Yay!
View all episodes and full show notes, leave comments, or make a contribution at our site: https://www.BigSkyAstroPod.com

00:30 – Podathon is next week, beginning Monday Sep. 20! Daily episodes coming your way, and yes, there will be prizes! Leave us your 60-second voicemail question (ask us anything!) at https://www.speakpipe.com/bigskyastrologypodcast! If you’re feeling shy and would rather type your question, send it to: April(at)bigskyastrology(dot)com
.
04:14 – **MOONWATCH ** This week we welcome a First Quarter Moon (FQM) at 21.16 Sagittarius (Sep.13). The Sun is conjunct Mars at the itchy, last, 29th degree of Virgo – meltdown alert! – and are working hard to take care of business. Benefit could come from Neptune’s more diffuse approach (think: meditation, music, naps).
.
06:26 – This FQM brings us back to Dec.14, 2020 – what was happening for you then? (Revisit Ep. 60 https://bit.ly/3t9M5dV.) Now is the time to move ahead, but be aware that Virgo’s perfectionism and Neptune’s lack of focus could cause complications. We can also focus on 22 Gemini (the missing link in a t-square) so perhaps it would help to gather info, read, take a class. The Sabian symbol for 22 Gemini is “A barn dance,” so have some fun or try to see things from someone else’s perspective (http://www.boveeastrology.com/).
.
09:32 – As April unclenches her jaw (is Virgo season is bringing up your anxiety?), remember to focus on the things you have control over. And lend your ears to Brene Brown’s episode on anxiety – can’t hurt, might help: https://bit.ly/3kABgh8.
.
10:29 – The Sun in Virgo opposes Neptune in Pisces (Sep. 14). Set a little intention before you go to bed to have ideas and solutions revealed in your dreams. (After much searching, Jen found the dream book she was referencing! #YoureWelcome https://amzn.to/3kEdReS.)
.
12:36 – Mars enters Libra (Sep. 14-Oct. 31). Direct your energy toward Libran pursuits – music, art, activities that cultivate balance (martial arts, for instance), and justice and fairness!
.
14:07 – 1960s Addams Family reference! C'est merveilleux! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-rUOrKviOM
.
15:16 – How does Mars do in air signs?
.
15:59 – Mars and Venus are in mutual reception! What does that mean? And does it involve a hot air balloon?
.
17:22 – Authenticity is the key to empowerment: The Sun trines Pluto at 24.24 Capricorn (Sep. 16) on the Sabian symbol for 25 Virgo, “A flag at half-mast.” Which direction is the flag headed?
.
20:20 – Venus squares Saturn (Sep. 16) on the symbol for 8 Scorpio, “The Moon shining across a lake.” Saturn sits on 8 Aquarius, “Beautifully gowned wax figures.” This speaks to a conflict between going deep and being authentic vs. the desire to look good on the outside.
.
22:39 – Big thanks to donors MAUREEN BLAIR, DEBBIE ALLAN, RACHEL FLETCHER, KAREN HARTLAND, MELISSA GRBIN, SARAH JANE WILLIAMSON, and ALICE KINSEY!
