Transcript
- 0:00Hello and welcome back to the Weekly Astrology Podcast where
- 0:03every Thursday we light our candles, we grab our blankets,
- 0:06we get cozy and talk all things cosmos.
- 0:09I am your host Sarah Posh, astrologer and coach.
- 0:12And this week's episode brings us to the second week of one of
- 0:15the most magical lunar cycles of the year with this Libra New
- 0:19Moon and our next major planetary player entering into
- 0:23the magic of our Grand Water tribes.
- 0:26If you missed last week's episode, be sure to go back and
- 0:28check it out because we went in deep diving detail all about the
- 0:32element of water and how to really work with and leverage
- 0:35the magic that's unfolding over these last few months of 2025.
- 0:40I'm curious, how is it going? How is it flowing?
- 0:42Have you started to have anything magical happen or flow
- 0:46into your life? I had a really huge start to
- 0:49these grand water, and I'm so grateful that I had the
- 0:52awareness of the astrology or I might have missed the
- 0:55opportunity that unexpectedly found me.
- 0:57I teach yoga here in California and I have to drive a little
- 0:59ways to get to the studio. And I happened to be in the area
- 1:03like an hour early before class started.
- 1:06And I had this hunch to get online and just check to make
- 1:08sure who was signed up for the class.
- 1:10And just so happens I didn't have anybody sign up for the
- 1:12class. So I was thinking I was just
- 1:14going to go home, get the night off early.
- 1:16But I knew the astrology that we were in and I didn't want to
- 1:20leave too soon. So instead I kind of stuck
- 1:22around. I use the extra time to get a
- 1:24car wash, ate some food in a parking lot.
- 1:26It's a luxurious scene I'm setting.
- 1:28I know. And I told myself, OK, class is
- 1:30supposed to start at 6:30. If I check at 6:00 and there's
- 1:34still not anybody signed up, I'll call the studio owner and
- 1:36cancel and call it off for tonight.
- 1:38And 6:00 rolled around. I checked the schedule one more
- 1:41time and what do you know? One person was signed up.
- 1:44They had just signed up at 6:00 for a 630 yoga class.
- 1:48Thank God I didn't go home. But just so happens it was a
- 1:50name on the schedule I had never seen before.
- 1:53And I was like, oh man, it's a new student.
- 1:56It's not even somebody I know. Oh no.
- 1:58But then I remember Grandwater Trance.
- 2:00I was like, there's some meeting meant to happen.
- 2:03This is gonna be some sort of magic I didn't see coming.
- 2:06I'm gonna flow with it. And yes, the outcome is exactly
- 2:10what you're probably expecting. It was the coolest person I've
- 2:13ever met. It was a total soul connection.
- 2:16And I'm so grateful for these grandwater trines throwing me
- 2:20off course and giving me something unexpected.
- 2:23And that patients that trust, that willingness to just be open
- 2:27and see what happens led to somebody who, if nothing else,
- 2:31opened my heart and opened my mind in ways that will stick
- 2:34with me forever. So thank you, Grandwater Trine.
- 2:36Thank you, Mercury for starting the fun.
- 2:38I'm so excited to see what Mars brings next.
- 2:40If you have any stories, any personal fun, little shares, go
- 2:44ahead and leave them in the comments.
- 2:45Drop them below. Tell me your rising sign and
- 2:48what is the magic in the making for you.
- 2:50And if you're somebody who's feeling a little lost or like
- 2:53you could use some extra support to guide you through the magic
- 2:56of this astrological moment. I have limited spots available
- 2:59for booking. You can check out my one-on-one
- 3:01consultation linked below this episode and know that you don't
- 3:04have to do this alone. Together, we can look at your
- 3:07personal chart and we can really see where is this magic
- 3:10happening. What plan is it talking to the
- 3:12most and what is it that you can still do?
- 3:14You still have time to make the most out of this moment.
- 3:17Let's start this episode and start this week.
- 3:19We're going to cannonball into it.
- 3:21We're going to start on Monday, October 27th when we have the
- 3:24Moon in Capricorn and Mars in Scorpio starting its transit
- 3:29series with a trying to in Cancer.
- 3:32What I love first of all about the timing of when Mars starts
- 3:36this series is that it's so astrology good.
- 3:39It's the same week as the first quarter waxing moon.
- 3:44This is the phase of the lunar cycle of every lunar cycle
- 3:47that's all about trial and error.
- 3:49It's the first part of the lunar cycle where all of the
- 3:52intentions that were seated in the darkness of the new moon
- 3:55first break surface and break light.
- 3:57It's about getting into action, experimenting with something
- 4:00different, getting messy, making a million drafts, not just to
- 4:03get it right, but to figure out what is actually the right thing
- 4:07to pour more of your energy and action into right now.
- 4:10This phase, this week, it is made for Mars, baby, the planet
- 4:14of action. And we're going to talk about
- 4:16how if Mercury's grand water trine was about answering big
- 4:20questions or opening important conversations, introducing new
- 4:25opportunities of exchanges. Now we've got Mars in the mix,
- 4:29and Mars is here to bring us some momentum.
- 4:33Mars and Scorpio is naturally dignified.
- 4:35This is one of Mars home signs or domiciles, and Mars and
- 4:39Scorpio. It's much different than a Mars
- 4:41and Aries. I can tell you as a personal
- 4:43Mars and Aries native, I've been feeling this Mars and Scorpio
- 4:47and honestly kind of jealous because I'm loving it.
- 4:51I went to a Muay Thai class just a few days after Mars had first
- 4:53entered into Scorpio, and in one of the partner drills that the
- 4:57coach had us do was at the end of like 5 different rounds of
- 5:01drills. The very last round, a 3 minute
- 5:04round. The exercise was for the partner
- 5:06holding pads to push the other person doing the drills as hard
- 5:11as they could to not stop, to just be in constant motion with
- 5:15any kind of freestyle training. So the goal was to work your
- 5:20partner out to the point where they wanted to give up.
- 5:22They wanted to stop. And let me tell you, my Mars and
- 5:24Aries, it assumed it expected I would last maybe one minute
- 5:29before bending over hands on knees, needing a break.
- 5:32But I was surprised because Mars and Scorpio, let me tell you
- 5:37baby, that Mars is just getting started.
- 5:40The moment it starts getting hard, there's like this engine
- 5:44revving that happens. I was feeling in this energy
- 5:48building as time was passing and I was like, I don't know what
- 5:52this is, but this is fucking dope.
- 5:53I love this Mars and Scorpio. And even if you're somebody that
- 5:56doesn't have Mars and Scorpio or doesn't even have a really
- 5:59strong relationship with your Natal Mars, we all have an
- 6:03opportunity to not only feel into Mars and Scorpio, but to
- 6:06feel into Mars and Scorpio in a moment where Mars is being
- 6:10resourced, supported, and uplifted by these Grand Water
- 6:14tribes. So imagining the potential of
- 6:16personal power and strength that we could feel and gain during
- 6:21this window of time, I was thinking about the image that we
- 6:23use when we talk about Scorpio and astrology as this fixed
- 6:26water sign. The image of a river, maybe even
- 6:29a rapid river for Mars. In Scorpio, it's a body of water
- 6:33that is moving extremely fast in the unified, single focused
- 6:37direction. This image of the river is
- 6:39giving us those archetypal themes associated with Scorpio,
- 6:42the image of perseverance, of endurance, this kind of quiet
- 6:46power and focused concentration. While there might be obstacles,
- 6:51there might be stones or things in the river, the river is not
- 6:55going to stop moving in that same direction.
- 6:57It's simply going to move around the rock or through the bushes.
- 7:02This brings us back to that example from last week around
- 7:05sailing and the need of adaptability and flexibility and
- 7:09resilience. To be confident in navigating
- 7:12whatever conditions that present themselves.
- 7:15To know that it doesn't matter if you have to chart a course
- 7:19that you weren't expecting. You're going to weather the
- 7:21conditions and you're going to get to where you're going.
- 7:23If you just stay focused on your destination, on your direction,
- 7:28and you stay present and determined moment to moment,
- 7:31almost inviting every obstacle to go ahead and challenge you
- 7:34because it's not in the way. It is the way this is feeling
- 7:37like the opportunity to deepen our reservoirs of strength, to
- 7:42develop our confidence and ourselves, to respond to any
- 7:46challenges that we meet and to stay focused.
- 7:48Having that unmovable focus of attention on the direction, the
- 7:53outcome, the desire, the destination that we're going
- 7:56towards. Mars and Scorpio is getting and
- 7:59giving us a boost in personal power.
- 8:01The thing about Mars that I kind of want to name is probably
- 8:04going to happen is that you don't really develop Mars or
- 8:07your relationship to Mars when things are easy.
- 8:10This is likely going to bring you that unexpected opportunity
- 8:14by showing you what you're capable of.
- 8:16Remember, Mars rises to every challenge.
- 8:19Mars is forged through fire. So during this week and these
- 8:23grand water trines, this isn't supposed to be some easy, easy
- 8:28Rd. through for Mars and Scorpio.
- 8:30It's meant to make Mars stronger.
- 8:32It's meant to give Mars access, to shift into a new gear that
- 8:36Mars has never even known or that we have never even tapped
- 8:40into in our potential. So I want you to consider the
- 8:42fact that if something feels really hard, remind yourself,
- 8:46bring back the astrological awareness that this is not just
- 8:49happening to you, it's happening for you.
- 8:52We talked a lot about the grand water trines being very
- 8:55relational in nature. And I feel like with this Mars,
- 8:58this could show up as a really helpful person.
- 9:00You know, the person that's going to be challenging you,
- 9:03pushing you to prove yourself and to rise to the challenge.
- 9:06The Mars, the antagonist you didn't necessarily sign up for,
- 9:10but that's definitely playing that character role to deliver
- 9:13what it is that will help you. Or it could be a new Mars ally,
- 9:17like a new accountability buddy, that all of a sudden you have
- 9:19somebody to go to the gym who's not just going to go to the gym
- 9:22with you and keep you accountable to making sure that
- 9:25you don't skip leg day. They're also going to push you
- 9:28to do heavier weights. They're going to push you to
- 9:30take less breaks in between sets.
- 9:33So pay attention. How's Mars?
- 9:34Who's Mars this week? And even if you don't like them
- 9:37or you don't like what's happening, can you be grateful
- 9:40anyways? Can you have some piece of you
- 9:43that can hold some sense of trust?
- 9:46And then finally, one more thing about the Mars and Scorpio and
- 9:48these grand water trines. But we talked about the boost of
- 9:51endurance, of strength, of resiliency and focus.
- 9:55Another Mars gift we might be getting is not only the
- 9:59discernment, the clarity about what's not working, what it is
- 10:03that's feeling like dead weight anchors to our Mars being able
- 10:07to sail ahead. It's also going to give us the
- 10:10willingness to take action and cut, sever, release what no
- 10:16longer serves us. This could be a brutal sense of
- 10:19asserting boundaries that maybe before you've hesitated a little
- 10:22bit and now there's no doubt in your mind and no pause, waiting
- 10:27for permission. If you're listening to this and
- 10:29you already have that person, that agreement, that thing on
- 10:33your schedule or To Do List that's popping into your mind,
- 10:36you know what it is and it's all already hovering in the
- 10:39background. You already know, you already
- 10:42know what it is that you're going to cut away.
- 10:43Go ahead. You can procrastinate, you can
- 10:45delay a little bit longer, but I really encourage you, don't
- 10:48waste the moment. Use this Mars in Scorpio, these
- 10:50grand water trines to give you the courage to confront what it
- 10:54is that you need to cut away, to finally sever the toxic
- 10:57attachments, the toxic agreements, the draining to do
- 11:01lists. This is the moment to shed and
- 11:03compost what no longer serves you so that you can call all of
- 11:07that energy actually back into creative, constructive life
- 11:11giving relationships agreement To Do List items on your
- 11:15schedule. And as Mars is just starting to
- 11:18catch this current, we surf into Wednesday, October 29th.
- 11:23Yes, I'm going to be using cheesy water metaphors and sport
- 11:26water metaphors this entire cycle.
- 11:29So put your life jackets on folks.
- 11:31They aren't going anywhere. All right, back to Wednesday,
- 11:33October 29th. The Moon is an Aquarius and we
- 11:36have Mercury completing its last water, trying to Neptune
- 11:39retrograde in Pisces and then immediately shifting into
- 11:42Sagittarius and on that same day opposing Uranus.
- 11:46So now we come back to what we talked about last week with
- 11:49these opposition's to Uranus giving us this invitation.
- 11:51Whatever new opportunities, new introductions, new inspirations
- 11:56washed in and all over the map of our reality, smearing the
- 12:02road system, the pathways of how we get from where we are to the
- 12:05future that we're going now. You're honest says, all right,
- 12:09it's not only time for a new pen.
- 12:11You got to stop using ink pens. It is 2025 people.
- 12:16You got to start using something that won't smear when water hits
- 12:20it. But also let's change the map.
- 12:22Let's change the road system. Let's add some shortcuts.
- 12:25Let's make it more fun and let's get some creative, authentic,
- 12:29exciting, you're honest energy into the mix.
- 12:32So tapping into that innovative trickster energy of both Mercury
- 12:36and Uranus on Wednesday and getting into some
- 12:40experimentation around implementing some much needed
- 12:44changes. What feels like it's causing a
- 12:46shutdown? Is it actually trying to create
- 12:49a new shortcut? This is a moment where we either
- 12:52feel the liberation of a breakthrough.
- 12:54We let ourselves play with the unknown and reinvent, or we just
- 12:59feel flustered and frustrated because there is just chaos and
- 13:02disruption. Come back to that original
- 13:04invitation from the first Virgo New Moon, square Uranus and let
- 13:09yourself develop new methods in the madness.
- 13:13Create new pathways through the unknown and at the same time
- 13:17that Mercury, Uranus is helping you build that new roadway, Mars
- 13:21is going to be making its second water trine with Saturn and
- 13:24Pisces. This is really beautiful because
- 13:26Mars, Saturn is a depth of endurance and perseverance.
- 13:31There's this magical combination of devotion with Saturn and
- 13:35Pisces and desire, Mars and Scorpio, where passion meets
- 13:40purpose. This is when we become
- 13:42unstoppable. Aligning the highest potential
- 13:45expressions of Saturn and Pisces and Mars and Scorpio is a true
- 13:50gift from the gods. So Wednesday, you need to double
- 13:53down on your purpose. You need to pour every ounce of
- 13:57your energy and willpower into pursuing it with passion.
- 14:01And you need to deepen the devotion to following through on
- 14:05your desires to the point where you cancel out all the noise,
- 14:09all the distraction, all the self doubt that previously kept
- 14:13you stuck. And at the same time, as you
- 14:15prove what's truly possible, what you're truly capable of, it
- 14:19might just break your brain in some new or unexpected mercury.
- 14:23You're on his way. Like when you look in the
- 14:25mirror, you don't even recognize who it is that you're looking
- 14:28at. This is like an out of body
- 14:30experience in the best way. It's being so in your body, you
- 14:34had an out of mind experience. Your mind has to completely
- 14:37reprogram and reorganize itself to work with this new sense of
- 14:42who you actually are and what you're actually capable of and
- 14:45think how that's going to help you.
- 14:46As you rewrite this map of your reality, this roadway of how
- 14:50you're going to get to your destination.
- 14:51You might eliminate a lot of the stops you thought you were going
- 14:53to have to make before. I don't know about you, but I'm
- 14:56pretty excited for Wednesday the 29th.
- 14:58This feels like a pretty fierce and fun turning point.
- 15:01And that leads us directly into Thursday, October 30th, where
- 15:05now Mercury is completing its series of transits with that
- 15:08sextile to Pluto and Aquarius. So think back, Mercury made that
- 15:12square to Pluto on October 7th. What was happening?
- 15:15What conversations, confrontations potentially or
- 15:18some unexpected information not unsurfaced, some previously
- 15:23hidden truth bombs? How is it reaching some sort of
- 15:26collaborative turn of the corner that has to do with your
- 15:30negotiations, at your conversations, or maybe even the
- 15:33questions that you're bringing to your communications?
- 15:36Now Mercury is shaking hands with Pluto.
- 15:38They're working together and Pluto is telling Mercury, good
- 15:42job for showing up and confronting, giving yourself
- 15:45permission to change what wasn't working and stop fighting and
- 15:48resisting because now I'm going to reward you.
- 15:50I'm going to set you up with even more power as you proceed.
- 15:54And then on Sunday, November 2nd, we get a sweet, very
- 15:58helpful Venus in Libra square Jupiter in Cancer.
- 16:02This is one of those special sweet kisses from the universe.
- 16:06Benefits are both in places that they're highly dignified, highly
- 16:10happy. Dooper is in a place where he's
- 16:12famous. Everybody knows him and is
- 16:14waiting in line to help him out and be the one that gives him
- 16:17the thing that he needs. Dooper is like, OK, OK, wait
- 16:20your turn, wait your turn. And Venus in Libra is the host
- 16:24with the most. She's got the social grace that
- 16:27has people lining up around the door wanting to be her friend or
- 16:31be her Boo. They're coming into contact.
- 16:33They're coming into a square. This meeting wasn't necessarily
- 16:36land. It was kind of unexpected.
- 16:37There might be a little bit of crazy fan noise outside or some
- 16:41sort of chaos because it's too much good in one area, but it's
- 16:45still good. So get into your gratitude and
- 16:47get into your state of generosity, of appreciation,
- 16:51into your connections that have mutual reciprocity and amplify
- 16:55your resonance with even greater good that these benefits want to
- 16:59bless you with. Saturday is a perfect moment to
- 17:02allow ourselves to give life a chance, to give us a break, to
- 17:06give us a rest, to have some big self-care, some heart to heart
- 17:10hugs and soul to soul conversations.
- 17:13If you need help, ask if you're going through something, reach
- 17:16out, resource your people. Venus square Jupiter can be a
- 17:20really healing, beautiful time for us to reconnect and rekindle
- 17:25the part of us that remembers that we're never in this alone,
- 17:28that we have each other. And maybe if you're the one that
- 17:30reaches out, you're vulnerable first with that Jupiter and
- 17:33Cancer. It might just set you up in a
- 17:36way that you weren't even expecting.
- 17:38So on Saturday, be brave enough to be vulnerable.
- 17:41Be strong enough to stay gentle. This energy is soft and tender.
- 17:46It's sweet and sensitive. And it's another one of those
- 17:49not just being in the right place at the right time, but
- 17:52being with the right people at the right place at the right
- 17:55time. That brings us into the final
- 17:56transits before that full moon in Taurus.
- 17:59We have Mars in Scorpio swimming its final lap with that, trying
- 18:03to Neptune in Pisces. And then on Tuesday, Mars is
- 18:07going to jump out of the water into Sagittarius and immediately
- 18:10make that revolutionary opposition to Uranus and Gemini.
- 18:14This is quite the firework show right before that Taurus full
- 18:18Moon and the moon is waxing and bright, illuminating all of the
- 18:22night sky for us to see what Mars and Uranus are going to
- 18:27shake up or potentially breakdown and breakthrough on
- 18:30Monday. Mars, Neptune, this is more of a
- 18:33flow state day. This is more about more being
- 18:35less doing more resting, less pushing ahead.
- 18:39There's some sort of magic or flow state that Mars Neptune can
- 18:42help us tap into where we might get so much more done.
- 18:46Again, remember that Neptune dissolves those boundaries of
- 18:49time and space. So when Mars and Neptune come in
- 18:51this supportive trying aspect like this, it's like leveraging
- 18:55the magic of that flow state, getting ourselves into the
- 18:59energy of inspiration and creativity and following our
- 19:02impulses, our intuition. And not necessarily sticking to
- 19:06a structured plan or To Do List or schedule, but leaving space
- 19:11in our day. Leaving space in our schedule
- 19:13and our time and our plans for us to flow through, To follow
- 19:17those creative impulses, to act on those intuitive hits, To take
- 19:21an unexpected turn that just so happens to land you to exactly
- 19:26where you needed to go. But getting you there in a way
- 19:29that you didn't even know was available.
- 19:31Like there was a road open the entire time and you had no idea.
- 19:34But Neptune's going to show you a secret doorway, a secret
- 19:36pathway. You have to get into that state
- 19:38of receptivity, though, to make the most of that Mars trine,
- 19:41Neptune magic. It's almost like we kind of rest
- 19:44or let ourselves float, let the water of Neptune and this trine
- 19:48carry Mars out of Scorpio. And then Mars lands in
- 19:53Sagittarius, dries off very quickly and decides, all right,
- 19:58this is what needs to change, and starts getting loud.
- 20:01Proud and proud into some liberating new ways of taking
- 20:05action. Make sure to check your impulses
- 20:07and check your sense of urgency or excitement.
- 20:10A Mars opposite Uranus, if not tempered, could burn down a
- 20:14bridge in a moment and not have an access point home.
- 20:18It's stuck on an island all alone, forever and ever and
- 20:22ever. So don't be afraid to challenge
- 20:24previous limitations or old, outdated traditions.
- 20:27Just be mindful of any potential long term consequences of the
- 20:32actions you're fired up and ready to take in the moment.
- 20:35And what an exciting way to end this week's astrology and lead
- 20:39us into that Taurus Full Moon. It's anything but boring and you
- 20:42don't hear us say that too often.
- 20:44Don't get too comfortable in our horoscope episode next week, I'm
- 20:48going to tell you all about this Torres full mood and how it's
- 20:51impacting you based off of your rising sign.

- 21:10dive into the details of that series of conjunctions that I
