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.

The Full Moon in Aquarius is happening on July 29/30. It will also form a conjunction with Pluto and an opposite Jupiter, bringing a bigger influence than usual. Expect this Full Moon to bring an intense, drama-filled few days. 

This Full Moon is also in an Air sign so get ready for an emphasis on the mind and the intellect. Pluto’s influence on this Full Moon might cause something hidden to reveal itself under the light of this luminary. The Moon’s opposition to Jupiter might also bring a struggle or an imbalance of power, wealth, or agency.

Kelly is launching the new cohort of her full ‘Astrologer Training Program’ this September. Click this link for more information. https://www.kellysastrology.com/astrologer-training-program/

Kelly talks with medical astrologer and naturopath Kira Sutherland about the joys of the planets, with a focus on the 6th and 12th houses and the joys of Mars and Saturn.Kelly and Kira talk about how benefic and malefic planets link to ideas of good or difficult fortune, and how recent translations of ancient texts have added many new layers to contemporary astrological practice. And they dig into the sixth and twelfth houses from a health perspective, describing the sixth as the place of acute illness and hard work on health, and the twelfth as chronic conditions, confinement, and convalescence.For more on Kira's work with health and medical astrology, check out her website:https://www.astrologyofhealth.com/For Kelly's teaching on the Joys of the Planets and the 12 Houses, pop over tohttps://www.kellysastrology.com/product/planetary-joys-and-the-houses/

This episode explores the tension at the heart of the full Moon in Capricorn, a symbolic tug-of-war between emotional fullness and real-world practicality. The  Moon in Capricorn sits in the sign of her detriment, which can create a sense of instability as your emotional self bumps up against your responsible, grounded side. But Capricorn's Saturnian energy also brings a reality check that, if you lean into it, can help you access a wiser and more mature perspective.
