* 23rd: The Sun’s Ingress into Scorpio/Eagle, occurs on the day that Retrograde Venus conjuncts the Sun. This deeply spiritual inferior conjunction of Venus happens every 19 months. It is the basis of the myth of Persephone, who travels to Hades to rescue her beloved. This is an allegory of the mother’s birth experience when she travels over the edge of death, and through the pain of giving birth to bring her child into the world.
* 24th: The Black Box is based on Mercury turning Retrograde, which is always filled with trepidation, at 20 degrees Scorpio/Eagle. Mercury in the Sign of the Eagle is usually a bit brooding and contemplative so turning Rx does not really affect him as much as in other signs. Although it provides special power and perspective, like an eagle soaring high above us.
What is Reclaiming Astrology from the Patriarchy ?
This is all about practicing Astrology in a balanced way. It is based on the book of the same name by the Astrologers Ralph & Lahni DeAmicis. In the book they tell the story of the Great Rebranding that created the patriarchy, by changing the twelve Signs of the Zodiac to uplift men and put down women. The shows include their weekly forecasts from the Planetary Calendar, which they author, astrology portraits, commentary and interviews.
