Kelly and Alicia discuss Saturn as the great teacher of cosmic truths and honours the planet as it teaches us perseverance and patience. Saturn also brings us clarity and a willingness to engage in things as they are. Saturn’s placement in Aries is confronting, pitting the slow and methodical Saturn against the quick and action-oriented Aries. They discuss this using several charts as examples. (The charts show up briefly on the screen at the start of each chart discussion.) Watch the full episode to get all the details.

In this episode, Kelly explores Venus retrograde in Scorpio’s powerful invitation to pause, release, and make space for renewal as Venus approaches the Sun and disappears from view. Drawing on the New Moon in Libra, she explains why mid-October is less about launching new plans and more about closure, reflection, decluttering, and letting go of outdated desires, commitments, and relationship patterns. Kelly also links Venus’ retrograde to her recent plane travel, the remake of the movie ‘A Star is Born’ as well as Venus’ last retrograde cycle in Scorpio. Watch the full episode to find out how!

This Lunar Eclipse in Pisces happens on August 27/28. It closes down the cycle of eclipses through Pisces that began in 2024. It calls you to review the dreams that might have inspired you over the past two years to determine whether they still hold true as you move forward. This is a good time to acknowledge the end of a chapter then review and reset the topics of the Pisces part of our chart.
