I have seen my work as an astrologer flourish beyond belief, in front my eyes. Astrology is the complex study of the planets, stars, and celestial bodies. Astrology is an art, science, philosophy and mythological interpretation of our lives. Astrology is also an ancient timing technique, providing us an encyclopedic amount of information about patterns, history, determinism, fatalism and freewill. I aim to become a story-teller and translator of the birth chart. I aim to dissect patterns, histories, mythologies, I aim to make meaning out of metaphor, I aim to give you practical, rational tools to work with your cosmic, karmic blueprint. And, I hope you leave your session feeling enlightened, hopeful, and uplifted. I also commit to being honest with you, upfront and meeting your story with the story of your astrological energies. Astrology has a myriad of misconceptions surrounding it, it is far beyond daily horoscopes and sun signs. While hell yes! I subscribe to all of that, my interest in astrology is empathy, healing and consistency. Astrology is also not fortune-telling or some witch with a crystal ball (even though, duh, I have one!) But seriously, astrology is its own science. I am not pulling anything out of a magic hat. So, with this said, astrology is a conversation, similar to working with a therapist.  Even in the most challenging times, I aim to find keyholes into positive narratives but also reason and logic. When we begin to work with our birth chart, we begin to understand time and space deeper, we begin to understand that we are reflections, that we have endless purpose, that we are resounding, pluralistic animals with challenges, celebrations, sacrifices, milestones, compromises, and gifts.

And once she provides those first words, the threads of understanding weave technicolor throughout your life. Caitlin’s collaborative and accessible approach to both the teaching and practice of astrology provides natives the space to discover new words and worlds both within and beyond themselves. Her metaphors are abound, her patience is unwavering, and she is a true master of her craft. This I cannot say of many people I have met in this lifetime.”  -Malka Schnaidman ︎ "I was gifted a natal chart session with Caitlin almost two years ago, and since then, I have returned to her practice time and time again. From her signature "lunation conversations" to deep dives on particular situations in my life, I leave every session feeling seen and held. She provides such an expansive container for my water-on-water-on-water existence, and helps me navigate even the most turbulent currents of my being. While she brings a depth of knowledge to her work after more than a decade of study, the history and meaning of astrology are truly brought to life through her profound intuitive wisdom. I love seeing her mind connect every aspect of my chart, and discern which narratives will be most powerful to share at the moment. To me, Caitlin embodies the beautiful idea that spiritual knowledge is never really taught, only remembered."-Kate Newman ︎ “How to to describe Caitlin Adams magic? Extraordinary, unique, humorous, serious…  she takes real life emotions, themes, thoughts and blends in the mystery of astrology, explaining our charts and stars…past and present, she navigates and connects the ethereal with your every day soul.  Caitlin is a kind, sensitive reader and guided me through deep murky waters and gorgeous joyful discoveries!  I cannot recommend enough Caitlin enough and have shared her talents with many of my nearest and dearest!”- Lena Lim︎ “When I was first introduced to Caitlin, I was so nervous but thrilled to learn more about myself and the astrological part of my life. I have done solar returns, chart introductions, and breaking down the nooks and crannies of my chart and become so much more in touch with who I am and how I live my life because of it. I had done a couple of private sessions with her and knew immediately my girlfriends would be thrilled to do something so personal and special. We have done big parties with about 8 or so people as well as private parties of 3 people and gotten in to the thick of it as friends. We’ve done astrological themed cocktails, had drinks based on a certain theme of the season, and truly been present with each other and our charts. Each experience has been so meaningful to me and my spirituality, but also a fond memory of myself and the people I hold the closest. Caitlin has truly changed my life and every time I get to share my spiritual journey through astrology with her and my friends, I feel my heart so full of love through an incredible experience. I could not recommend her and her guidance enough.”  -Scarlett Murphy ︎ “As with many things I know I need, I waited until I was at a low point to book with Caitlin. As soon as we made the plan, I wondered how I’d been okay with not stepping into that space with her for so long. She is a deeply sensitive human who embodies the complex multidimensionality within each of us. Combined with profound wisdom and thorough knowledge, this makes her a powerful interpreter and communicator of all things astro. She helped me to cultivate new and intensely helpful perspectives on my deeply rooted struggles in ways that psychotherapy, meditation and the like have not. I feel fortunate in the security of knowing that Caitlin is there for me.”-Rebecca Bachman ︎ “Some people are good at their craft, and some people are fantastic. Caitlin’s work is fantastic. After a reading with Caitlin, you will experience a sensation of complete satisfaction and awe at the incredible detail, insite and helpful direction her personal readings provide.  A skilled astrologer not only knows their stuff but uses the intricacies of your birth chart to help you develop a transformative roadmap on how to better all aspects of your life. Caitlin‘s humor, wit & intelligence are an exceptional gift and your time spent with her is priceless.” -Anna Lee Alden ︎ https://caitlinadams-astrology.com/PODCAST Tue, 08 Mar 2022 17:35:00 +0000 Caitlin Adams Astrologer https://caitlinadams-astrology.com/PODCAST SPOTIFY︎︎︎  APPLE︎︎︎  SUBSTACK︎︎︎ https://caitlinadams-astrology.com/MENTORSHIP Tue, 08 Mar 2022 17:35:01 +0000 Caitlin Adams Astrologer https://caitlinadams-astrology.com/MENTORSHIP 1-1 Mentorship ProgramIf you are looking to study, deepen your understanding of it, or pursue a career in astrology.

January 31, 2025 Astrology Report + Recap New Moon in Aquarius I want to tell you this loud and clear – the New Moon in Aquarius on January 29 was just what the doctors’ ordered. And for the sake of the metaphor and explanation, astrologers are kind of like interpretive doctors of the sky! Let me tell you, we will take any strength or hopeful signifier we can get right now. This Mars retrograde is a soup that will not drain. January has been a crazy month – I know people need information and in some ways that information feels to be a stronger urge than even pure human connection! There are multiple reasons for this. #1 we are in the Saturnian times of the year. Capricorn season neighboring Aquarius season makes it serious – plain and simple. The evidence is there to prove it; this is the heart of winter where we hibernate in order to evaluate and lay a particular foundation for where we want to see growth in the year ahead. Yes this is a classic winter to spring story, the poetry of changing seasons. The poetry (as poetry does) is embodied and emotional, we feel poetry and the planets support analytically what our body knows intuitively. Astrologically, we are looking at Saturn during the heart of winter, a time that can feel so slow (the operative words being time and slow – Saturn is here) and in the spring, we are looking at Mars and Venus. The juxtaposition is drastic, and 2025’s Saturn season of Capricorn and Aquarius are even deeper into this seriousness collectively and how this impacts our own personal growth. The stoicism of thoughtful contemplation stretches our sense of time. The brass tacks: Mars retrograde in fall (Cancer). Remember astrology is a survey of time past and time ahead so when we look to the present moment we can make greater sense of the framework. The present is framed by past and future. We have to note this when we think where is it all leading to– the answer is always, somewhere. The choices we make today are already impacting the results tomorrow and this isn’t to put pressure on you, its to make you feel empowered and in control. You are effectual to your own life. The birth-chart works for you, you do not work for it. The astrology is not prescriptive or clinical, it is medicinal and herbalist. The sky isn’t necessarily depressing right now but it is certainly frustrating and so annoying that we’re in a palpable slow motion when [in certain areas] we want to feel efficient! I know! I get it! Mars is physical, hence the deep bodily reaction to Mars retrograde – more tired, harder to socialize or go into the world, lots of preparation to do anything, and all the other results of this same notion of which there are hundreds. This is when I ask – ok, so if we are here now then where are we going later? Because as I wrote above winter is always a Saturnian time, but 2025 hits harder and that is because of all those unimaginable, rare, vibrant pushes ahead in April and beyond. January through March may continue to feel quite slow but we have stunning moments of reprise sprinkled throughout and boy do we need them. Okay! Back to the new moon. This New Moon in Aquarius on Jan 29 had a harmonic trine from Jupiter in Gemini and while it is in detriment – Jupiter is Jupiter no matter what – abundant and in compromised states still roots for what’s greater, perhaps even more. Retrogrades are also about uncovering truths, things that need perspective. The Jupiterian positive outcomes do not dissipate just like for Mars the desire to thrust forward doesn’t either. When planets are in challenging positions they are still working to do what they do and when they get a little help from their friends – like Jupiter just received from the moon –we have to jump on it. Oh and what is always being ruled by the moon right now – Mars… hello! Hence the moodiness (or the moony-ness… wow)  and the ever-changes in our emotions.   We have a Pisces stack (Saturn, Venus, Neptune, and the North Node has just joined the party) and we have an Aquarius stack. Now I don't want to ignore in modern astrology Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, but because Saturn is so implicated in this Pisces stack, I am placing a bit more focus on Aqua's traditional ruler.  And plus Uranus really gets its moment later in the year when it ends its seven year charade in Taurus and ingresses into Gemini. But here's some deep Uranus tidbits: it is all very creative and progressively alternative. Aquarius season does spark a particular form of Uranian creative problem solving yearly and it is unpacking our deepest desires more than ever. As I’ve been saying - times are slow and slowing – but where is this happening and why? The answer is where the focus goes. I have been talking since September about completion of projects in order to start new chapters in 2025. Well these projects are the focus of this martian slush right now. Sit with yourself and ask yourself – where is all the focus going? And how can I problem solve creatively to get to the going. Now all the aspects of life are being looked at - there is possibility for change and real change comes from holistic purvey. Your question with yourself is where is the change happening in 2025. If we work hard to understand that, if we actually work hard right now, the payoff is later. None of this is easy. Working hard right now is especially difficult. I think of all the signs Capricorns have armor easily accessible, in fact my dear Caps of which there are many lol you may even be enjoying this head-down, elbow grease, beating ourselves up internally thing we got going on... and you may even see it as necessary and helpful.(Anyway I digress but we can learn from them?) This is also your opportunity to laugh at life. Because its just wild. And if this email is coming and you are like wow life is feeling particularly ludicrous – laugh. As an astrologer, my clients know that I utilize my sense of humor as a tool, and I think about this tool as a wand. The moment I tap into this myself while talking about something extremely heavy with a client – a lightness comes in - I see people laugh and realize that they are human in a life, and oh yes… we are all part of something greater. In fact, humans love the feeling of being a part of something greater than them. Why? Because humanity is connection which is synonymous with the concept of life. Take a step out, see what is happening, what is being asked of you, what has changed since November 1* and put every ounce of your being into that. *hint hint the change may be where you are placing your energy. In modern astrology (as opposed to traditional), the astrological seasons’ rulerships from winter to spring go as such – here is Caitlin’s list of corresponding words. The words describe meaning and actual physical descriptors of the planets.  Capricorn/Saturn: Time, evaluation, work, spinning, ringed/protected, stormyAquarius/Uranus: Innovation, progress, impact, surprise, tilted, effectual, reverberant, icy prone to slipping, surrounded by 2 dozen small moons Pisces/Neptune: Creativity, imagination, lucidity, turbulent weather, dark, cold, windyAries/Mars: Red, Rocky, Dry, Ambitious, Aggressive, Determined, Adventurous Taurus/Venus: Hot, Bright, Volcanic, Enchanting, Adored, Desirous, Loving, Decorated  ______________________________ Friday, November 15, 2024 4:28pm ET |1:28pm PT | 2:28pm MT | 3:28pm CT | 10:28pm CET 24º Taurus We have a lot to get into but first – Are you feeling stuck in the mud, like nothing is moving forward? Well we only have 4 more days of this Plutonian portal and then yes in 4 days, not only does a whole new era begin but also a new generation! Pluto is associated with each generation – us millennials, we have Pluto in Scorpio, Gen Z you have Pluto in Sag, Gen Alpha Pluto in Capricorn, Gen X you Pluto in Libra Baby Boomers , you are split between Pluto in Leo and Pluto in Virgo, Silent Generation Pluto in Cancer, so on and so forth. In times of universal beginnings and endings, we are prepared for life to change in an hour, in a minute, in one second – this is how we experience changes. One minute we are one way, and the next we are another shifting in mood, circumstance, relations, opportunities, breath. And I think that this Pluto shift will probably settle in like that. We were stuck and now we’re not. This full Moon in Taurus focuses on exactly where and how you have been feeling said stickiness, focusing on that origin of this gelatinous bubble so that when it pops, you’re  attuned level of awareness can absorb freedom. November 1, 2024 8:47am EST | 5:47am PST | 6:47am PST | 7:47am PST9º ScorpioHello Hello Hello Out There!! I hope this email finds you well amidst the core of Fall. These days are the center of this adored season of nostalgia and quintessential activities! You all know what I mean...Fall of all the seasons includes a checklist of stuff we must do, eat, see, enjoy in order to indulge in it as deeply as possible. And somehow Fall feels as though it's fleeting as soon as it begins. I love the New Moon in Scorpio because in essence it is the least new moon energy of all them. ok Ok not that it isn't a new moon, of course it is – but New Moons are about breathing in possibility and beginnings. New Moons teach us that beginnings are possible all of the time, and are not these rare life occurrences. But Scorpio is the sign of disintegration, it teaches us about the process of undoing and it is a portal to the portion of the year where we metamorphosize. Scorpio, Sag, Cap, Aqua, Pisces -- these are the seasons where the internal work is done, where the most transformation can happen and Scorpio is the bridge that helps us to understand that.  Doesn't sound so 'new' does it? Doesn't put the "New" in "New Moon"... well look, I don't disagree. But the New Moon in Scorpio  – especially this one –  teaches us that disintegration is a part of the magic of possibility.  This new moon isn't about breakdown, it's actually just extremely magical. Like classically magical. Like wait what solar system --- you are giving us a purely magical new moon right before a historic and inarticulable [on so many levels] election in the US? Well as we say – as above, so below and the above says take the magic carpet by the horns and pump the ignition. What is magic exactly? I know what magic means to me. But what does it mean to you? Magic is pretty much everywhere – you're alive right? That is miraculous. If even you say you don't believe in it, you totally subscribe to it because you are human and we are each made of magic.You've seen situations unfold naturally, and without force? Well that is a form of magic. You've met an unexpected new friend where there was an instant connection, a lover, a partner, a person who knows a family member of yours hundreds of miles away... this is also magic. I don't know about you, but I would love a little magic always. A little remembrance that no matter what we are a part of something larger than us and that unexpected extraordinary things can happen everyday.  It requires cognizance of symbolism, experiences, connections. It requires us to open our eyes, attune our ears, feel the tiny muscles in our body and say out loud "oh yes that is who I am, where I am, what I am..." But my friends, this new moon is not all roses and dahlias – this new moon forms a trine to Saturn which means the flowers have a place, they have a structure to infuse the magic into. It's not just floundering around in the ether. Thank goodness. The trine aspect is a form of rhythm. The trine allows something to happen without force. Where do you need magic? How do you connect to this word? And if you dislike the word... why? Magic and miracles are everywhere and at some point they gained a weird rep by some and the point is Saturn is here to rationalize the words for you. Where do you need something miraculous to happen? Scorpio oh Scorpio... the wise astrological energy, the middle child water sign – integrated, understanding of life, wry, guttural, there's not an energy quite so REAL as the Scorpion energy. Purity is lucid, lucidity is pure, the veil is thin and we can see through it. So take a look through the looking glass -- Saturn can give the facts to the murky and inexplicable.       If you need guidance in discussing anything above, or perhaps there is an area of your life that needs the spiritual focus to transform, or maybe you are metamorphosizing or you already have (Pluto in Capricorn is finally leaving Nov. 19 -- looking at those with strong Cardinal placements!!!! Shed what began in 2008 when Pluto entered Capricorn. What will survive from that time and what must become transformed by Pluto in Aquarius – we need this innovation.)   October 2, 2024 2:49pm EST | 11:49am PST |12:49pm MST | 1:49pm CST 10º Libra Good Morning amidst the Solar Eclipse in Libra! May it wash over you, may you surrender, and may you not get PSST OFF. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know – easier said than done. But I promise you, its gonna be better than to get angry. There is no reason to allow your energy to get involved with the eclipse. Calm down and control the tension. Mars is in Cancer right now (that means it is in Fall!) entering its shadow period before it goes retrograde in December. Thus, over sensitivity and defensiveness can occur at any point. I encourage you to notice when these reactive tendencies arise and learn from them. What are you trying to say?  Speak clearly. Work with yourself. Sometimes it is important to notice the qualities we just don’t like. Look – you’re not always gonna like yourself, and neither are the people in your life. This is human. Observe and reflect but instead of allowing your energy to be overly drained by one emotional state — remember that we do actually have the capacity to shift and alter ourselves at any minute. Eclipse season is not the time to change yourself, the changes will happen regardless! We are working with time during an eclipse and time is way bigger than us. So do what you need to do. Face it all head on. But trying to force yourself and your world to be something right now during a time-traveling moment? It is simply not… the time. What is the difference between forcing and being? Well one feels like you're using your might, like you're pushing something while the other feels light, like floating (and yes even voicing your opinion or determination can feel like floating…) You have a job interview, you’re laid off, things change, people have opinions, suddenly something new begins… be soulfully present with each thing without trying to be some other version of yourself. Yes, this is deep work. It takes practice and now is your time because we are in a portal of endings and beginnings. During an eclipse season, everything has meaning. The eclipse will affect us until late libra Libra Season, October 17. The first quarter moon phase settles in on October 10 — the energy will soften around then with the full eclipse season ending October 17, one month (or moonth) after the Sept 17 eclipse we experienced. Eclipse Activities: Dance Make a Playlist Go on a wandering walk Kiss the skin on your body! Hug Yourself Breathing exercises Self-Massage Stretch And, Think about 2023 & 2024 Think about 2013-2015 What narrative began in April 2023 that follows an adjacent narrative that occurred in 2013-2015 (this is last time the nodes of destiny were in Aries and Libra.) When an eclipse series comes around, it is a continuum of information synthesizing a story that continues throughout your lifetime – you’re in another chapter of your Aries-Libra eclipse story.  Dates: April 20, 2023 October 14, 2023 March 25, 2024 April 8, 2024 Previous Aries-Libra Series: October 18, 2013 April 15, 2014 October 8, 2014 April 4, 2015 September 27, 2015 If you need support in understanding your eclipse story, looking back in time, understanding what I mean by floating…any and all of the above or something else or something specific… Just remember, As always, I am here for you. Eclipse Playlist by me LINKED HERE PLUTO IN CAPRICORN ENDS NOVEMBER 19 In Case You Missed My Pluto Email on November 6 please see below! I had a session with a client this morning who I felt encouraged to send this email again... It is exactly at moments like these that it behooves us to look to the sky. Remember astrology is a teacher of reality, history, pattern, and time. Ultimately it maps the sky to paint a picture of the earth's circumstances.  The phrase as above, so below means exactly this – if we look to the map above, we receive a blueprint of the architecture surrounding us. We are in a Plutonian threshold, the most down-&-dirty-serious of them all. I have OPEN AVAILABILITY all weekend. Yes I am opening my practice for the whole weekend – I sense the need for last minute support. It is a powerful time for powerful conversations to discuss the year 2008-present. The moon is in Aquarius until Saturday evening at 11:53pm EST/8:53pm PST and then will have a dreamy yet emotional reprieve in Pisces. There is still a fair amount of pressure on the moon until then but it is Aqua so there's a nice layer of freedom, insight, and wryness. On Sunday, I want to encourage rest, spiritual practice (if you have one), embodiment, and creative play (watercolors, knitting, singing, playing instruments, listening to music, flower arranging, sleep). ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________from November 6 2024: Sending comfort to your bodies today and feeling called to chime in to the abundant astrological dialogue. I have received a few messages and I sense it is difficult for those outside of the astrologers’ community to understand what is going to be the most helpful insight from the planets in this moment. I looked at both presidential candidates charts a lot over the course of the past several months and analyzed them with colleagues. It was challenging to determine who was actually going to win because they both had positive, fortuitous transits coupled with precariously leaning transits — in other words could go either way. I went back and forth about the outcome in every conversation and so did many of us providing for very destabilizing conversations. So now that we’re on the other side of it – I do think as astrologers we need to be choosey about what planets are the healthy ingredient for insight. And truthfully, if we look at all of them simultaneously it does become a confusing cuisine. You know me – I adore the architecture, the design of transits. It is one of my colloquialisms as an astrologer. But today, I challenge that notion in myself because sometimes we actually need to look at one guiding factor. And we have one – Pluto. We have Pluto. We have been talking about Pluto’s transition from Capricorn to Aquarius for what feels like years and sure you may silently be shaking your head saying Caitlin shut up, BUT I won’t because this is exactly Pluto’s moment. I have said to many of you before diving into Pluto’s individual impact upon your chart that you will see the effects of Pluto’s ingress into Aquarius in the world and that will help you metabolize its personal implications. Obviously for some charts these implications are epic, massive, cataclysmic and for others are general and thematic. Plus, this final ingress (no more Capricorn after Nov. 19) is coupled with Mars retrograde, Mercury retrograde, and Jupiter retrograde. So let’s just say, we ain’t chilling. On November 19, Pluto will officially move into Aquarius where it will live for 20 years. Capricorn is associated with past structures, infrastructures, unbreakable systems, it is also associated with patriarchal leadership, corporatism, and industry. I want to stress I am not talking about Capricorns when I am talking about Pluto in Capricorn. This is not the same. The energy or belief system of a Capricorn has nothing to do with the themes Capricorn imbues in the generational climate which is Pluto. Aquarius (our other Saturn sign) looks at past structures and asks where the improvement, the efficiency, the innovation can occur. Our modern ruler of Uranus, tips almost everything on its side, distorts the vision, looks at things from different perspectives, finds community and de-centers leadership into collective action. Aquarius is the sign associated with revolt and rebellion. And this does not swing in any one direction.  Everybody thinks revolution is upon us – our definitions are what differ. This is universal. Let’s just for a second look at history. The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was from 1777-1798 during which several countries experienced revolutions. During these two decades, the world saw the American Revolution, the French Revolution, and the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. At the tail end of Pluto in Capricorn, 1776 the Declaration of Independence was signed. Pluto is a planet associated with death. There are things that are reborn through a Pluto ingress and there are things that do not survive. The question is what is going to survive in this transition, what is going to die, and lastly, what needs to be revolutionized throughout the course of Pluto in Aquarius. We have undergone 248 years since Pluto was in Aquarius. The throngs of revolution means something completely different, history has amalgamated to now and the future is perhaps adjacent but certainly not identical to what the vision of it once was. We haven't had the impact of this level of fervor quite yet. During Pluto in Capricorn we've seen a lot of failure. Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008 (an insane year. 2007 the end of Pluto in Sagittarius is when the financial crisis began setting forth a period where we saw everything from recession, world's first trillionaires, housing crises, hacking etc you guys we could add a laundry list to what has gone down specifically related to Pluto in Cap globally.) So this should excite you because astrology is a very literal thing. Pluto in Aquarius is fighting to progress, and will fight. There are a handful of things that could go down in the next few weeks. But I don’t want you to get overwhelmed with the astrology. On a personal level, sure, we should be looking at all the planets, but to quiet the mind – on a global level – put your energy toward the impact of Pluto. It is at times like these that I deeply encourage you to remember – As always, I am here for you. Let’s look at Pluto in your chart. Pluto is a surveyor of life, death, sex, and transformation –  it asks us to metamorphosize our potential and our ability to be reborn. So, let's talk about life, baby – existentially, practically, ancestrally, and beyond.   October 17, 2024 7:26am ET | 4:26am PT | 5:26am MT | 6:26am CT | 1:26pm CET   24º Aries You’ve seen, you’ve heard, you’ve read or…you’re hearing it here first: This full moon is extremely close to us (yes, Supermoon y’all!) And dare us astrologers say, a doozy. It isn’t an eclipse so that’s amazing news and I believe we would rather the first full moon post-eclipse season to feel strong and potent rather than weak and feebly. When a full moon like this kicks off well, I get excited. Rub my hands together – feel the heat – excited – Ooo la la –  Bring. It. On. I think it's important for me to lay it on thick, and then pair back. So here’s how this newsletter is gonna work: The facts without emotions Meaning and MissionAnd lastly, some emotions (because *speculation* you come to this Scorpio-astrologer for the emo-reasons, right? haha) This is a Full Moon in Aries at 24º opposing the Sun in Libra in its final week of Libra season. A full moon in Aries is always emotionally volatile. When we are dealing with the Libra-Aries axis, we are dealing with the mythological, psychoanalytic, philosophical question – The Self versus The Other. In literature this is widely known as Human versus Human, one of the 7 types of Conflict. It is an axis that deals with the primordial inclination to examine – Who Am I and Who are You and What are WE together? So this is already a full Moon that presents challenges if there is something boiling below the surface with another person – but we have some additional influences... As the full Moon settles in, she first forms a square with Mars. But then shortly after the full Moon (around 2:25pm ET) she forms a square with Pluto in Capricorn at 29º just before she enters Taurus. … Thus, the full moon lunation includes two cardinal squares. *Enter Circus Music* We call this a Grand Cardinal Cross. Teaching moment! (for those that would like to learn the academics! If not, keep scrolling :) (A square is a 90 degree angle formed between two planets – Mars in Cancer at 22º squares the Moon in Aries at 22º only an hour prior to the full moon. So it is applying to the full moon. All signs in the same modality (Cardinal, Fixed, Mutable) form challenging aspects – square or opposition. For example: Libra, Capricorn, Aries, Cancer are all Cardinal signs meaning they all either square each other or oppose each other. Libra opposes Aries, Capricorn opposes Cancer, Libra squares the other signs but Aries, so on and so forth… ya follow?) This full Moon is two oppositions – the sun in Libra opposing the moon in Aries, Mars in Cancer opposing Pluto in Capricorn – and four squares – the Sun and the Moon squaring both Mars and Pluto. This is a Grand Cardinal Cross.) These are the facts. Now for the Meaning, the Mission, the Emotions: My goal here is to keep this succinct because there is a lot of information. With the full Moon in Aries, it goes without saying that our relationships and partnerships are considered and sometimes put under the emotional magnifying glass. First, I want to encourage you to allow this lunation to pass and face the challenges over the weekend – whether it is with your romantic partner(s), your roommate, your best friend, your mother. If it is with a colleague or business-related partner, Monday the 21st – a fresh week– is way better.  Remember if you are feeling hot and bothered, then allow yourself to feel that but no need to bring anyone into your belly of the beast. Anger and frustration are important fuels for passion but not the ones that make progress. They fuel the progress. So allow them to settle in and THEN go to the passion, go to the progress. This is an emotionally volatile moon and that shouldn’t scare you – it should make you feel alive. The Moon is ruled by Mars in Cancer, which is Mars in fall. Mars is in Cancer for 6 months, with a two-month stint in Leo from November 4 to January 6. Then remains in Cancer until April 17. The Mars in Cancer retrograde cycle is a long one!! We focus on these other planetary themes almost more than the classic Aries-Libra full moon themes during this time. (Also includes the Mars opposition to the final push through Pluto in Capricorn before officially entering Aquarius November 17.)  Mars in fall means our determined planet feels as though it is falling away from purpose, falling down. Mars is tough, Cancer is soft. Mars is passionate and driven, Cancer is compassionate and present. This is the best way to think about this placement.  When Mars wants to GO and Cancer wants to pause.. what happens? Projects can take time. But going too fast can present ephemerality, and pausing too long can present stagnancy so Mars can really learn from Cancer and Cancer can really learn from Mars. Learning ain’t easy…Actual, processed knowledge takes time. So whatever projects and endeavors you want to complete right now are the projects you will be focusing on completing by the end of this Mars in Cancer period in April. What can passion and compassion for your projects do together, not separately? Oh and by the way, projects…lets take a seat with this word. It means something different to everyone. So before you judge the word, take it into your life. A project is different to your artist, doctor, graduate student, entrepreneur friend is also different to your newly married, wants to fall in love, mothering, new-move, new-home, wanting children, wanting change, family hardships, health battles, health desires, spiritual awakening friend is also different to your fill in the blank human. And we are also a combination of projects. I have about 10 myself. You get my drift… project is an expansive word, so don’t get stuck in the capitalist [singular] meaning of it.  Language is SO important my friends! Mission: What are your projects? What do you want to complete that you know will take time? Can you predict for yourself what life-stuff you will see transpire over the next 6 months? And instead of daunting.. how can you see them as adventures? Let me tell you, I personally am daunted by a few big projects I know are ahead and I know transforming the daunt is hard… but remember who is around you.. You are supported. Your body is supported. Your mind is supported. And the steps of your missions will be taken. Laziness is different from a pause. Stress is different from efficiency. We need both – pause when it feels like an abyss of HOW WILL I DO IT and efficiency when the speed of time says Now. Lists are really helpful for my homework above. But it is deeper than a list. So first take a sit, stare out the window, look at the moon, and ask yourself not only what do you want to complete by April but what do you know will take time to metabolize and therefore, solve. And accept that time. And lastly, complete the things that are lingering within the next two weeks so your mind is on this life-list you are making now, and not on the stuff that has been waiting for months and even years. Clear it off. Personal note: I have decided to release a film installation on October 25. I don’t know what will happen to it, but it needs to officially be living in the world – I cannot wait any longer because it will continue to take more of my mental-stress-energy, and that energy needs to be placed elsewhere.  so A. Stay tuned!  And B. Use this as inspiration for yourself, however it may apply. Clients, Friends, Family – I have so much more to say on these transits. Come see me in my practice. It's a lot out there and up there. As Above, So Below. It is a gift to share this work and my place in it. https://caitlinadams-astrology.com/ECLIPSE-WRITINGS Fri, 20 Sep 2024 19:55:51 +0000 Caitlin Adams Astrologer https://caitlinadams-astrology.com/ECLIPSE-WRITINGS Eclipse Writings To learn about the current eclipse series, follow THIS LINK 2024 ECLIPSE NEWSLETTERS April 8, 2024 My head is spinning. The astrology of April is plentiful and overwhelming to consume. There is nothing to fear – sometimes it is better if life changes efficiently. Surrendering is an answer and not a means to an end. Oftentimes when we really want something to change, we have to try so damn hard. My feeling is – April maybe we don’t need to try. One thing is for sure – you’ll be hearing from me more than usual. I want to be more present in your inbox this month. Even if just for a sentence or two. And guess what? After an intense and totally chaotic, dramatic move, I am beyond grateful to be in a new apartment and back in my studio-office. thank goodness, thank you eclipse. I cannot wait to see so many of my amazing clients this month and for you to see the epic altar I am building haha Enough of me – let’s get to the astrology. Number 1 – Eclipses are not scary, they are natural occurrences. They feel scary. They definitely look rather apocalyptic but eclipses speed up time. They are an exhilarating, and more heightened approach to life. Life on steroids, but hey life is inherently existing amidst a gamut of crazy and this world is … unspeakably hard to fathom. Sometimes I feel like anything could be eclipsed at any moment. Life is a continuum between chance and choice, possibility and reality, speed and slow-motion. In the process of speeding time, eclipses both eliminate and add. Compress, release, subtract, multiply, divide. 19º Aries 2:21 PM EST | 1:21 PM CST | 12:21 PM MST | 11:21 AM PST Total Solar Eclipse visible starting in Mazatlan and ending in Newfoundland In the United States, the eclipse will be most visible in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire. Go to greatamericaneclipse.com to learn the exact moment it is most visible where you are plus much more juicy information. This is a fantastic website I like to frequent! This is a total solar eclipse in Aries meaning the sun is our focus. The sky goes dark illuminating the Sun’s corona and in none other than an actually illuminated position – the sun is uplifted in Aries, glistening in its exaltation. Look y’all this is a beautiful eclipse. It is loud and obvious in Aries! We are talking strong self-effacing, self-realized, self-standing, self-uplifting– It is determined, temperamental, aggressively passionate and heavy-headed (Aries rules the skull) - our contemplations are thorough. Aries is the journey of the self - the sun is our compass. Since this eclipse specifically targets the journey of the self, we are being asked to identify who that self is and how we are changing our relationship to particular components that make us who we are individually. Those with Sun, Moon, or Rising in Aries and/or if you have Mercury, Venus and/or Mars in Aries the changes are a bit more poignant, obvious, and sharp. It is also important to note any other cardinal placements – Cancer, Capricorn, Libra – and also fire placements – Leo and Sagittarius. And lastly, do you have any planets at 19º or within 4º of 19º? All questions we can answer together – I know some people can read their birth chart and others cannot. Reading your own chart and interpretation are two different things. Perhaps you can read it but you don’t know what it means. Or perhaps you know what some things mean but you have no idea why. Look – if you haven’t had a session in a long time or you don’t have a regular practice with astrology or your own birth-chart then the month of April is the time. This is an opportunity for investigating and deeply uncovering a part of yourself that quite literally needs to change, must change, has no choice but to change. And the more you know about your birth-chart, the more you are able to direct this energy.  This eclipse is asking us to work with Chiron who is at the exact same degree as the eclipse, and not only the same degree, but the SAME MINUTE. The sun, the moon, and Chiron are all at 19º and 24 minutes. I rarely speak to minutes of a degree unless the proximity is astronomically close. Chiron is healing the part of ourselves that needs to be changed, staring down wounds and traumas that the Aries part of your chart has endured. Some areas of the chart are more literal than others. I want you to understand something. However bold Aries is, this sign confronts fear all the time. Fear of the self, and what you’re capable of. Because it is the first astrological energy of the calendar, it is unabashed and then terrified, like a puppy or child running into a playground or a field quickly to realize even that has repercussions. When there is fear or frustration with yourself that comes up during this eclipse, inner anger, or the need to search for chaos – remember the purpose of things being lifted to the surface is in order for you to release them into the past and realize that nothing really matters but this given moment. It is time to be new. Don’t be frustrated by what you have or have not done or been. Just be grateful you have more time to be who you envision yourself to be. Invite changes, reflection, allow your mind to wander –  This Aries season is certainly different as is any season that is overshadowed by eclipses – this Monday, March 25 5º Libra4:20 AM EST/1:20 AM PST/2:20 AM MST/ 3:20 AM CST   If you've worked with me for awhile and been apart of my network than you know I approach sessions during Eclipse Seasons very differently since the weather in the sky is jolted by the reality that at any moment something could be 'eclipsed'–obscured by light and morphed into the unexpected. It is during eclipse season the moon speeds things up or pushes things out. I adore meeting with clients during eclipse seasons because instead of speaking to plans ahead – we must speak to the present moment. Oftentimes conversations surround fears and truths. And...decisions that must be made now and not later – we can't be afraid of the outcomes of these decisions, we just need to make them and throw caution to the wind.   Aries and Libra is what I like to refer to as the mythological axis of the human condition. With honesty, I say that eclipses in Aries and Libra are extremely self-effacing. The challenges will ask us to get out of our own way, to confront sticky situations truthfully without over complying to the inclination to people-please. This eclipse season is also quite healing – Chiron, the wounded healer's involvement points us to look unabashedly within and Mercury is right there in the mix – so talk to yourself, guide yourself with insight, look to your experiences and realize they are all full of rich information – information only learned at a younger age. The wisdom of maturation is the essence here. Eclipses always highlight the time of year where individual transformation is felt on a collective level. Eclipses are narratives. This series began its foray in Aries-Libra on October 14, 2023 with a Solar Eclipse in Libra. I encourage you to look back on this time in your photo-album (because we, in this age, have such a privilege to do so!) and I invite you to see how what is happening now is a kind of continuation of what was happening then looking specifically at this narrative:  where are you as an individual and solo-being, and how is your exterior world conveying this to you, (Aries is obvious! literal! expressive!)and where are you in relation to otherhood/partnership/creative expression? How are both sides of the coin being incorporated? What needs to change?   2023 ECLIPSE NEWSLETTERS Friday, May 5 2023 Full Moon Lunar Eclipse 1:34 PM EST | 10:34 AM PST | 12:34 PM CST | 11:34 AM MST 14º Scorpio AN ECLIPSE OF PATHOS How to be during an eclipse of this nature? Be is the operative word. What does it mean ‘to be?’ It means – to exist, to just be in your being. Your personal exertion of force, control, manifestation is off the table because the moon is powerfully forceful, controlling, manifesting right now. While generally during the year we can work with the moon – during an eclipse season – the moon is working us. Now it is safe to say, by May 12 we will really feel the effects of this eclipse energy start to dissipate and the closer we get to the end of Taurus season, May 20, the more the energy fades away. But for now, we are in the depths of it. I anticipate the energy next week to feel super different as the moon moves in Sagittarius, Capricorn, and beyond. A lunar eclipse provides a portal into our emotional lives that is not usually open – with this lunar eclipse, the moon is in ‘fall.’ It has trouble being in Scorpio and just like the phrase Moon In Fall suggests.. the moon is quite literally falling backward, falling away from what the moon provides us – access to our internal environment, the ability to digest and process our emotions, the capacity to ruminate healthily. So during a lunar eclipse in Scorpio, the challenges of being a human being can feel massive and astronomically daunting. I see a lot of my colleagues talking about this eclipse as a time for shadow-work… I agree. But I want to discuss what that means: We all have areas in our life where we feel that the worst version of ourselves becomes visible, or territories of our life where we feel like we are always failing or becoming slaves to a pattern we cannot break. The operative word here is FEEL. We Feel. Feeling is quite changeable. Right? We can feel one way today, another way tomorrow, and a landscape of difference in a year or… two. Ah Yes, an eclipse series! So let’s go back in time. Mental-Emotional Time Travel is the only thing we can actually do during a lunar eclipse. Let’s go back to 2021. November 19, 2021 was the first eclipse in the Scorpio-Taurus series, launching a 1.5-2 year narrative that has changed our reality and our feelings around specific themes. I would encourage you to look back (photos, emails, journals, social media, voice memos, notes, whatever helps you track time) and also reflect deeply on what has actually changed and the events surrounding those changes. And how presently, we find ourselves in new situations because of the events that have occurred over the past two years. Now – for those with strong fixed placements (Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius) the changes are slightly more obvious and direct – like you can really track particular aspects of you and your life shifting throughout the course of these past two years. (As someone with both my sun and moon in fixed signs, the narratives have been glaringly, aggressively clear).  Currently, we are in the waters of what is meant to live, die, and transform in our lives. Scorpio provides the gateway to understanding these different avenues. Yes, certain patterns are meant to die, certain perceptions of ourselves are meant to die, perhaps tangible situations are meant to die, and perhaps they already have over the course of the past two years. But here’s where it gets difficult. What is meant to end and what is meant to transform are very different. Situationally, many scenarios are simply meant to transform. Transformation requires a sieve. There are circumstances filtering through but what is dying is our approach to it, our emotional patterns in it, our negative feeling about ourself in whatever the circumstance is. The shame, the regret, the guilt, the cycle, the spiral, the internal narrative, I could go on and on but these are the tough, emotional, shadow-y hardships that a Scorpio eclipse is phenomenal at shoving in our guts and scaring us with in order to provoke the transformative action that is ahead, Ahead – not now. This too shall pass. Remember that. While you are in this [specifically May 4-6] please remember to take care of your body. The moon is the physical body, the moon is what grounds us. Drink water, sleep, pay attention to your dreams, hot showers, do something physical if it feels right or just stretch and breathe. I want to encourage anyone who feels particularly shaken right now to check-in with me this weekend. I’m going to open my availability. We will discuss the narrative and themes that have changed, transformed and felt differently over the past two years; what other planetary transits have coincided with this eclipse series. We will have an eye-opening conversation. And my hope is these conversations will calm you – bring you clarity, logic, and reason about that which is living, dying, re-birthing and transforming. HYBRID SOLAR ECLIPSE April 19/20* 2023 (depending on time zone) 12:12 AM EST* | 9:12 PM PST | 11:12 PM CST | 10: 12 PM MST 29º ARIES Hello from my desk where I am marveling over this eclipse chart. Let’s get into it. #1 This second new moon in Aries occurs in the last few hours of Aries season at the 29th degree. So – whatever intention or area of focus you nestled into on or around March 21 there I would imagine you’ve seen progress, development, new challenges, lessons and hopefully some answers. And if not then we have eclipse season to really take care of whatever has not been solved. I’m trying to be cavalier here because we all know eclipse season is not the easiest but it certainly does the work for us. We just need to settle into it. I think entering an eclipse with questions or precarity about certain circumstances or life situations can feel perhaps a little freaky but the good thing is – what is meant to stay will stay, what is meant to dissolve will dissolve, what happens will happen, eclipses have a goal, and goals can be hard to achieve. I have to say, I feel pretty good about this eclipse. That’s not to reduce the reality that eclipses are challenging no matter what, but November our last eclipse season was a wildly intense month and looking at the chart, this eclipse has a different mission – bravery, life, creativity, emotional facing and then working to express those emotions without being defensive or outrageously sensitive, beginnings/endings/transitions (it is the 29th anaretic degree). Without getting too lost in the sauce of this chart, I do want to explain briefly what makes it such a marvel to my eyes. We call this eclipse a Hybrid Eclipse. This is because it is straddling two zodiacal energies, Aries and Taurus. So while yes, the fixed signs (Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio) are getting somewhat of a break, the sun and moon immediately move into Taurus less than 3 hours after the eclipse. While it introduces us to our next eclipse series (Aries-Libra), we are then immediately reminded that the Taurus-Scorpio lessons of the last year and a half are not complete. New eclipse series are introduced at a super high volume, and being in Aries we can expect a lightning bolt. It will come in strong, loud, and bold. It is certainly exciting! I don’t have to tell any of you twice that these eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio have been extreme- living under this axis that defines the beauties, trials and tribulations associated with life, death, rebirth and transformation. We have two more on this axis (May 5 & October 28).  Aries-Libra will have a different narrative: human connection, independence, codependence, expression, influence. This series will simply say it as it is, obviously and literally. Back to the chart. This eclipse in Aries is ruled by Mars in Cancer – sensitive, defensive, emotional processing on the deepest level - Mars in Cancer is the bubbling we feel within us that does need room to burst. Remember bursting without thought, intention, and awareness can lead to unnecessary arguments but intentional anger can lead to transformation and resolve. Anger is powerful, anger suggests action, anger suggests life is inside you, anger suggests the readiness for growth and now you will do whatever it takes. But anger is delicate. it is better to face it than not. When we are shy of our anger, when we avoid it, is when we see it backlash. Meditate on this. Mars in Cancer and the Moon in Aries are in mutual reception, meaning they are being ruled by each other thus whatever you are working through in this eclipse is in an alchemical and very taut relationship with Mars (passion, aggression, physicality, and yes… anger). Again I think this eclipse is gonna bring up a lot but also solve a lot. So buckle up. Not only are Mars and the moon in mutual reception but so are Mercury and Venus. And then, what happens on Sunday only days after the eclipse… Mercury stations retrograde. Yes, mercury retrograde during eclipse season. All the classic mercury retrograde stuff will come up as it always does… the eclipse may heighten it.. I think? Mercury and Venus in mutual reception is an amazing combination, perhaps my favorite mutual reception. technology mishaps, travel disruptions, Not only are Mars and the moon in mutual reception but so are Mercury and Venus. And then, what happens on Sunday only days after the eclipse… Mercury stations retrograde. Yes, Mercury retrograde during eclipse season. The eclipse may heighten all the classic Mercury retrograde mishaps (technology, travel, miscommunication) although because Mercury in Taurus and Venus in Gemini are also in mutual reception (mercury is ruled by Venus and Venus is ruled by mercury)- this is helpful  when it comes to accomplishing with more clarity and more momentum than what may usually occur during a Mercury retrograde. And, this mutual reception could be helpful for our interpersonal relationships as well. I give you all this information because eclipses hit us and sometimes it’s best we sit with them, allow them to do what they will. Couple things to remember – don’t force your body to do anything that your body is adamantly telling you not to do – eclipses do not like that. When you feel the surge of energy to take action, do it powerfully. If you want to live with ease, make that choice. Don’t be passive about it. And lastly, even in your actions and choices during this season, do not avoid what is important. Notice, acknowledge, and approach in safe, healthy, sustainable and progressive ways. 2022 ECLIPSE NEWSLETTERS Tuesday November 8 2022Total Lunar [Blood Moon] Eclipse 6:02 AM EST | 3:02 AM PST16º Taurus A Total Lunar Blood Moon Eclipse in Taurus settled in at 6:02am EST. And in this eclipse, we have all hands on deck. Of course it is an eclipse so the North and South nodes are obviously involved– this is what indicates the eclipse in the sky. In eclipse season, our nature & our proximity to challenging situations feels closer, feels more real – We are feeling. It is the moon. And as I’ve written before and will write again – by the end of eclipse season, something if not multiple things have changed. And with every eclipse, we see changes. Life changes. This is the truth. Eclipse season is truth-time. That is amazing and can feel terrifying. But this eclipse isn’t just any eclipse. Mercury, Venus, Uranus, Saturn, Mars Retrograde, Jupiter Retrograde are all involved. We are individually standing in the center of a ring. We are being stared out by forces and activated by so many different narratives – all the integral narratives that make up our lives. Eclipses are stories with beginnings, middles, and ends. To write a story, we have to go through a process –we can’t jump from start to finish or it’s not a story. With all of these planets involved, many stories are going through a process. This is an all-encompassing, life altering eclipse. It is overwhelming and yet it is our responsibility to focus on the avenue that needs the most attention. The planets are circling the narratives right now, although not every story is going to get the same attention. I’m sure you know the narrative that can use the most attention. Sometimes when I look at a chart of the current moment, I am silenced. This eclipse chart silences me, I hear every planetary voice shouting, they all want attention, and we are stuck in the center of a ring, allowing the planets to fight over our narrative. One planet is saying trust your voice, the other one is saying no don’t trust your voice you need to push your voice and be louder, and another planet is saying but what do you really want. There are decisions that need to be made, things that need to be done, said, accounted for in all of our lives, but for this moment we need to encourage relaxing, slowing down a bit, we need to think, and in our thinking process, feel super comfortable. Taurus is the youngest earth sign. It is the energy that can make a lot out of little, extravagant meals from two ingredients (figuratively and literally.) Taurus can find pleasure in a singular material and notice all the ways the material is abundant and perfect. Taurus - Scorpio wants us to indulge in what makes life emotional and valuable. We cannot manifest during an eclipse (the moon is in-charge!), but we can take a minute to think about the next 6 months (May 5 & May 19 2023 will be the next eclipse season in Scorpio and Taurus) and where we would like to story, the transformation to occur, what are we releasing/developing? Where is there a beginning thus where must there be an ending? Where/what are you hiding from? Please listen to your body, please do not push yourself, awareness is key.  Stay in the process of what you are doing, immerse yourself in that process toward greater embodiment of your life, and remember that symbolism is everywhere. What is your life telling you and where is it guiding you? How are you going to listen, vocalize, and remain whole?        TUESDAY October 25 2022 NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE 6:49 AM EST || 3:49 AM PST 2º SCORPIO We are about one day past the Solar Eclipse in Scorpio which officially puts us in eclipse season. I really hope my email finds you well amidst this time. I know it's not an easy time and especially this eclipse! We are dealing with the axis of life (Taurus) and death (Scorpio), and obviously I do not mean to be dramatic, but hey – this is the axis that teaches us about intensity, calm, peace, celebration, chaos, transformation, contentment, tangible resources, spiritual resources, intimacy, affection, and emotional fluidity. Ooof… that deserves a deep breath :) Last eclipse season was April 30, 2022 – this was a Partial Solar Eclipse in Taurus and May 16, 2022 – this was a Total Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio. If you have joined my practice since then and now, I think it's really important I provide a short description of the signification/symbolism of an eclipse in the sky. Because like most astrological events, I see all kinds of language on the world wide web that feel a little left of center… Eclipses are the crux of astrology. They frame the stories of our lives in nice little 1.5 year packages. So think back to those two dates above in April and May. Look at your photos, locate that time clearly. What was going on? Who was around you? What were you working through? How did your life develop and change by the middle to end of May? What are the similarities between then and now? What are the differences? And because this is Scorpio-Taurus, it behooves us to be thorough and embodied while indulging in our senses and intensities. Eclipse stories enlighten and uplift parts of our birth chart to force lessons and change. Yes, eclipses are forceful which is why we need to sit back and watch the show – just like we often do quite literally during certain eclipses – we watch them! In our lives, we have to contemplate and be pensive but release control. Things are happening, forming, manifesting all the time and some things require our direction and other things just simply do not. This is a beautiful, challenging, and thoughtful process. What is forming in your life that you simply need to release control around? (a very Scorpio-Taurus question) I love eclipses because they work for us, we don't work for them.  As I’ve said before, this is the moon's tax season and the moon is our accountant — it is busy, overwhelmed, taking account of the whole last year (eclipse to eclipse) and the year ahead. What we experienced yesterday was a Partial Eclipse in Scorpio; the Total Eclipse comes November 8. So we are ramping up right now to that energy – in other words, we’re on the ride. I want to be sure you are not ignoring your emotions (I’m looking at everyone but especially have my eye on all my Scorpio & Taurus Moon clients plus anyone with major fixed placements – Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, Aquarius.) The moon is in Fall in Scorpio meaning it would rather fall backward from the emotions than toward because of just how intense the experience of this moon is. With Scorpio we think of the moisture, the mud, the swamp and Scorpio loves those murky waters where real depth occurs. It is an energy that enjoys the caves and crevasses while Taurus brings the blankets and sustenance.  It is important to recognize if you are hardening your emotional life at this time. Consider the process of clay taking shape. It's not quite time to harden the mold or the sculpture because the sculpture is being formed – it is wet and malleable still. Use your awareness if you are pushing that process along too fast. Scorpio- the clay, the materials Taurus- the sculpture, the pottery Together they are the kiln! Lastly I want to leave you with a hallmark theme of this eclipse season - The abundant release of fears!! Mantra language (for Scorpio-Taurus axis) to think about, borrow, utilize, and create from: I am abundantly releasing fears. I am recognizing my fears and how they hold me back. I am allowing my fears to shed and fall away from me. This (fill in the blank) fear no longer serves me. I am open to freedom. I trust my body’s process of releasing internal battles that I struggle with. April 30, 2022 NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE 4:28 PM EST || 1:28 PM PST 10º TAURUS Happy Eclipse Weekend. Or perhaps 'happy' is not the accurate word, but 'GO.' Go Eclipse Weekend. But of course, I hope it is a happy one after all. This is an extraordinarily, special and even – positive eclipse. Frankly, I'm not an eclipse-lover. They are heavy, strong, and they have this uncontrollable power to pull our minds and bodies inward and downward – exhausting and simultaneously enlivening. It's all very confusing during eclipse season like the whitewash waves of the ocean. And we can't stand in the face of an eclipse and say 'Please Stop' because well, they have a mind of their own. As we know, the moon moves quickly, and eclipse season teaches us that some-things you just can't control. And the moon, when in eclipse season, is that celestial body. This eclipse is in Taurus, the earth sign ruled by Venus. OKAY SO, Why is it so special? If you are a client who works with me regularly then you know I try to break things down in equations. And so with this eclipse, we have to look to Venus to redeem more information. And Venus is currently in Pisces which is what we call an 'exalted' placement plus, it will be touching Jupiter which is also in Pisces, Jupiter's ancient ruler. Now many of you have seen me write these things before (Jupiter in Pisces, etc.) but astrology is a constant reminder of cycles and currently we cannot ignore Venus and we certainly cannot ignore Jupiter. And what else, alongside all of this is Neptune (also in Pisces for about 11 years) the modern ruler of Pisces. .JUPITER, VENUS, NEPTUNE [IN PISCES] AND an ECLIPSE [IN TAURUS] RULED BY VENUS~GASP! ...And then our hearts explode, the end.... Hahaha, I'm just kidding... or am I? Well here's the thing – Deep Breath, y'all – this a lot to breathe into. My gosh, I can't even quantify the level of energy (romantic, poetic, creative, sensual, destined, sheer lucid purity) this is cultivating – the investment in our sensory experience of life, the ability to acknowledge our comforts, our privileges, our access on the physical plane (Taurus), the psychic or astral plane (Pisces), the unconscious effort to discover what we need to survive (Eclipse) ... is it connection, touch, engagement – yeah all of this. We talk about manifestation with the moon but an eclipse begs us not to manifest – it begs us to sit the f*** down. Let it wash over you because it is working its magic and it will for the next year (we have eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio until 2023). We have a gift this eclipse – we have a Saturday and if you are able just enjoy the rest, perhaps the sunshine (wherever you are) or the rain or the ocean, a walk, a wander, the flowers, paint and paintbrush, a nice meal with your friends, family, or the trees in the park. Allow yourself to cry, laugh, love ecstatically because that is all we can do. The eclipse will affect you no matter what so stay tuned, and practice being present, no overplanning, no force, just ––BE HERE NOW (yes, I just quoted Ram Dass, you're welcome) Current clients, new clients, and old clients ALIKE,I am going to enjoy this eclipse myself – so I will not be available tomorrow, but [after that] if you want to understand where this eclipse falls in your birth chart and how it will directly impact you, then you know where to find me. As always, I am here for you. https://caitlinadams-astrology.com/RESOURCES Thu, 10 Nov 2022 20:39:52 +0000 Caitlin Adams Astrologer https://caitlinadams-astrology.com/RESOURCES resources* ASTROLOGER-WRITERS Richard Tarnas (Cosmos & Psyche)Melanie Reinhart (Chiron & The Healing Journey)Gabriela Herstik (writer & witch, Inner Witch) Alejandro Jodorowsky (Psychomagic: The Transformative Power of Shamanic Psychotherapy)Aliza Kelly (This is Your Destiny)Chani Nicolas (You Were Born For This) Robert Hand Demetra George Annabel Gat Chris Brennan Stephen Forrest PODCASTS Avenues  The Astrology Podcast Stars Like UsEmbodied Astrology  OTHER Magic of I (Calendars and Journals) Marcella Kroll (Oracle Cards, Metaphysical Teachings, Clairvoyant Products) *A Living Breathing & Growing List
