Transcript
- 0:00Hello and welcome back to the Weekly Astrology Podcast where
- 0:03every Thursday we light our candles, grab our blankets, get
- 0:07cozy and talk all things cosmos. I'm your host Sarah Posh,
- 0:11astrologer and coach. And this week we're going to
- 0:13cover the Venus and Scorpio grandwater trines as well as the
- 0:17opposition point to Uranus and Taurus.
- 0:19We're also going to talk about Mars and Sagittarius hitting the
- 0:22nodal bending and what that means about the current eclipse
- 0:25cycle. And finally, we're going to
- 0:27cover Saturn's Station Direct and Pisces.
- 0:29If you haven't already, make sure that you like this video
- 0:32and you subscribe to this channel with your notifications
- 0:34turned on. That way you're never going to
- 0:36miss when a new episode comes out.
- 0:38And before we jump into all of the details happening this week
- 0:41in the astrology, I want to hear from you.
- 0:43How are you feeling after that Scorpio New moon?
- 0:46Do you feel like there's been an opening into a new process of
- 0:50discovery? Is there new truths being
- 0:52unveiled? Or maybe you're even unraveling
- 0:56some of those hidden limitations, self sabotaging
- 0:59beliefs, stories or shadow work. We talked a lot about all of
- 1:03that and some ways to work with that astrology that started in
- 1:06the Scorpio new moon in last week's episode.
- 1:08So if you haven't already, make sure go back to the channel and
- 1:11check out that episode. Also, just to remind you that
- 1:14the lunar cycle playlist for this Scorpio new moon, it's
- 1:17available now on my Spotify channel and that will be linked
- 1:20below. I created a custom playlist
- 1:23designed specifically for these deep waters of the Scorpio new
- 1:27Moon and also some things related to the Gemini full Moon,
- 1:30which has a little bit of a different flavor in the middle
- 1:33of this cycle. If you're interested in that, be
- 1:35sure check it out. It's linked below.
- 1:37So we're going to start with this Mars at the nodal bending
- 1:40on Monday, November 24th, the same day that Mercury retrograde
- 1:44makes its conjunction to Venus in Scorpio.
- 1:47We've got that Moon in Capricorn and Mars in Sagittarius is
- 1:51squaring at the nodal access. So it is squaring at the South
- 1:54Node in Virgo and the North Node in Pisces, and this is called
- 1:57the nodal bending. Whenever a planet crosses the
- 2:00square point degree in relationship to that nodal
- 2:03access, it's an activation point of the themes of those eclipse
- 2:07cycles. Mars being the planet that
- 2:09activates, that energizes, that propels things forward when Mars
- 2:13hits the nodal bend. Sometimes this can be a
- 2:16reactivation of those eclipse themes or the storylines that
- 2:19have been unfolding, the major beginnings, the major endings.
- 2:23So we want to pay attention on Monday, November 24th, Mars and
- 2:26Sagittarius is giving us this course correction.
- 2:29It might feel like Mars and Sagittarius squaring the South
- 2:33Node in Virgo. Is this point of breaking some
- 2:35sort of Virgo spell where we've been focused too much on maybe a
- 2:39perfectionism, too much on trying to fix something, and now
- 2:42Mars says it's time to stop fixing and to start living.
- 2:46Or it might be an activation of the North Node in Pisces, where
- 2:50Mars points us to this open path ahead and says it's time to leap
- 2:55with faith before you have full certainty.
- 2:58So there's some sort of course correction that there's some
- 3:00sort of activation point or a development and turning point
- 3:03when it comes to the eclipse themes that started back in
- 3:06those September eclipses. So definitely take note.
- 3:09What's turning a corner? What's being activated and what
- 3:12are you being asked to let go of in order to propel yourself
- 3:15forward? I also want to mention that this
- 3:17ties perfectly into the themes that we're still in the heat of
- 3:21this Mercury retrograde cycle, which is all about revision,
- 3:24reviewing a recalibration or maybe a revision of those
- 3:29drafts. Mercury is writing into the
- 3:32Grand Water trines that it's making three times, but it's
- 3:35also happening in the same time that Saturn is making its final
- 3:39station in Pisces. So let's go ahead and jump into
- 3:42the Saturn station before we circle back to the Venus
- 3:46grandwater trine and astrological kite activation
- 3:48this week. So this week Saturn is
- 3:50stationing direct at 25° of Pisces on Thursday, November
- 3:5427th. This is important because this
- 3:57is Saturn's final station direct.
- 3:59It means that we are officially ending the final transit of
- 4:02Saturn in Pisces, and this is a transit that started back in
- 4:05March of 2023. You'll want to think back to
- 4:08when Saturn first stationed retrograde earlier this year.
- 4:11That was on July 12th at about 1 to 2° of Aries.
- 4:15And then Saturn made its retrograde back into Pisces on
- 4:18September 1st, 2025. S thinking specifically back to
- 4:23September 1st because that's when Saturn retrograde was
- 4:26officially in the Pisces territory that we're talking
- 4:28about. What lessons were you returning
- 4:32to since that time? Was there a certain level of
- 4:35integration? Maybe there was a repetition, a
- 4:38sense of developing, maybe more refinement, mastery or
- 4:41confidence in regards to some of those lessons?
- 4:44Or maybe it's new structures or systems that you've been putting
- 4:46into place or building with Saturn and Pisces.
- 4:50And I also think that this moment is a really important
- 4:53time to do what Saturn's doing, to actually slow yourself down,
- 4:57to take a moment to pause and to station yourself.
- 5:01Look back at all of the things that Saturn has helped you
- 5:04learn, confront, choose, change, and develop since March of 2023,
- 5:11specifically in the Pisces area of your life and in your chart.
- 5:15This is our final phase, our final time of Saturn in Pisces,
- 5:19and we have the chance now to actually look 1st and see how
- 5:24far we've come. What are the foundations that
- 5:26we've built? How have we shaped consciously
- 5:29with choice, with integrity, the new structures, the new systems
- 5:34in our Pisces area of life? And this is a perfect moment
- 5:37with Saturn station to not only look at that and with
- 5:40constructive feedback, but also celebration.
- 5:43Look at how far you've come, look at how much you've grown
- 5:47and not just what you've shaped or what you've changed or what
- 5:49you've built, but how has that changed or shaped you?
- 5:53What's been built inside of you? What new confidence or maybe
- 5:56self respect do you have since working with Saturn and Pisces
- 6:01and now as Saturn stations? With Saturn in this very
- 6:05auspicious place, it's got that grand trine to the planets
- 6:09moving through Scorpio and also its host ruler Jupiter is
- 6:13exalted in Cancer, making that supportive trying aspect.
- 6:17So Saturn has so much available to resource you to make the most
- 6:22of this final phase. So when we reflect, we can ask
- 6:25ourselves, what do we want Saturn to leave us with?
- 6:28If we've come so far, if we've gained so much confidence or we
- 6:31feel a more solid foundation and footing beneath ourselves in
- 6:35this area of life. Do we want to further solidify?
- 6:38Do we want to deepen and fortify what's already been built?
- 6:42Maybe you would like Saturn to help you build a new addition.
- 6:45You know, maybe you want Saturn and I built this house, whatever
- 6:48this Pisces house has that these things are living in, that feels
- 6:52solid. It feels safe, it feels
- 6:53fortified. But let's go ahead.
- 6:55Let's add on a little bar dominium.
- 6:57Or maybe I want Saturn to help me build a little Playhouse in
- 7:00the backyard. Or it could also be that you
- 7:02don't necessarily want to add on more structures or you want to
- 7:05add on more to the building or the foundation.
- 7:07But maybe you want to use Saturn to go back through the things
- 7:11that you've built that have a solid ground and now you want to
- 7:15just refine. Maybe you want to upgrade the
- 7:18quality, you want to invest a little bit more into the quality
- 7:22and sustainability of what's been built, or maybe even the
- 7:25comfort or the luxury. It is Pisces after all.
- 7:28So whatever it is, we do want Saturn to leave us feeling
- 7:31really good or really nourished and really inspired in this area
- 7:35of our life. And one of the reasons why this
- 7:38Saturn station is so important in this week's astrology is
- 7:41because in addition to adding a layer of this Mars of the
- 7:44bending, this critical turning point or course correction, it's
- 7:49also going to play into Venus's grandwater trine.
- 7:52Venus is making the first grandwater trines with Jupiter
- 7:55retrograde in Cancer and Saturn retrograde but actually
- 7:59stationed in Pisces on the day before Saturn stations.
- 8:03So that grandwater trine opens on Wednesday, November 26th, and
- 8:08I'm going to go into all those details of the Venus grandwater
- 8:10trine and we're going to talk about the nuances of the
- 8:14specific Venus themes and textures and signatures of these
- 8:18grandwater trines. But we need to make sure that we
- 8:20point out that Saturn has a little bit more significance.
- 8:23And that's not only because Saturn is stationed at this
- 8:26time, pulling in emphasis and energy and focus on that point
- 8:31of the grandwater trine. It's also in reception with
- 8:35Venus. Venus is the exaltation Lord of
- 8:38Pisces, so that reception between Venus and Scorpio and
- 8:42Saturn stationed in Pisces very near and dear, close to the
- 8:47exact exaltation degree of Venus in Pisces.
- 8:51This is telling us that even though Venus in Scorpio is in a
- 8:55place of her detriment, a place where she really struggles or
- 8:58has to work extra hard to do her Venus things, she's got this
- 9:03direct communication line, this access line to support, and it's
- 9:08connected and tethered to a Saturn that's at the end of its
- 9:12transit through Pisces. It's a Saturn of mastery.
- 9:15There's immense wisdom in this Saturn in Pisces.
- 9:18So she doesn't just have support, she has an exalted wise
- 9:23elder of support at the right place at the right time that can
- 9:27lift her up out of the depths of this Scorpio water and help her
- 9:31to not only move forward in the way that any kind of grand water
- 9:34trine would, but it's like instead of Venus just being
- 9:37thrown some sort of life raft to help her float through whatever
- 9:41she's going through in Scorpio, she's getting picked up on a
- 9:44boat that has blankets ready. It has her favorite snacks,
- 9:48maybe even a glass of champagne. Venus could probably really use
- 9:52a drink right now and the people on the boat that come to welcome
- 9:55her, they see her, they recognize her, they validate her
- 10:00experience in a way that Venus and Scorpio hasn't really
- 10:04received or isn't used to receiving.
- 10:06So I just, I love this for Venus and Scorpio in these grand water
- 10:10trines. I love the emphasis and also
- 10:12that reception between the Saturn that's ready to help us
- 10:16finish this Pisces transit out strong and this Venus that's
- 10:20getting these Grand Water tribes.
- 10:22On that note, let's go ahead and slow down for a second and talk
- 10:24more deeply about the Venus signature of the Grand Water
- 10:28trines. So let's start with the dignity
- 10:30of Venus and Scorpio. Venus and Scorpio is in a Mars
- 10:33ruled sign. She is as far away from her home
- 10:37sign of fixed to Earth Taurus as she can get.
- 10:40Venus and Scorpio has to struggle to get the calm and the
- 10:44comfort that comes so naturally to a Venus and Taurus.
- 10:47Where Venus and Taurus has the luxury of being at peace, being
- 10:52surrounded by silence or solitude, having an environment
- 10:56that naturally feels comfortable.
- 10:58The Sun is shining, it's a perfect breeze, the flowers are
- 11:01starting to blossom. Everything is saying life and
- 11:05growth around her. It's giving a luxurious,
- 11:08calming, creative center of being.
- 11:12Well, Venus doesn't have that in Scorpio.
- 11:15Venus has the opposite. And what I love when I'm
- 11:18thinking about detriment in the dignity scheme is that it's not
- 11:21that. Venus has no chance for calm, no
- 11:23chance for comfort or for peace, No chance for a sense of just
- 11:27natural harmony and secure attachment in her relationships
- 11:31where it might come a little bit more naturally with Venus and
- 11:33Taurus. What I see with people who have
- 11:36Venus and Scorpio or any planets that are in their detriment is
- 11:41that they have to work so much harder than the planets that are
- 11:44dignified. So Venus and Scorpio, it's not
- 11:48impossible for her to have secure attachments.
- 11:50It's not impossible for her to reach a place of luxury and
- 11:53comfort and calm. It's just that Venus has to
- 11:56learn that the hard way. This is kind of like when you've
- 11:59dated and I don't know about you, but I know for me, all of
- 12:04the relationships that I went through that weren't it, All of
- 12:07the times that I had to learn what a red flag was because of
- 12:11what I went through and had to reflect back on, that actually
- 12:15created so much more strength in my heart and also in my
- 12:19discernment. It's like because of that
- 12:21challenge that I went through, because of the hardship, maybe
- 12:25because of past pain or betrayal, that sense of feeling
- 12:28disillusioned or disconnected, those unhealthy, painful
- 12:32relational experiences, those are the things that fortified,
- 12:37strengthened, deepened my sense of clarity about what is
- 12:41healthy, what is good, what is worth trusting and investing in,
- 12:45especially when it comes to relationships.
- 12:48And so you can kind of think about that for Venus.
- 12:50Venus has been through some things in Scorpio.
- 12:53Venus in Scorpio doesn't get the easy Rd.
- 12:56Venus has to learn through challenge, through heart
- 12:58experience, and potentially through pain or betrayal or
- 13:01loss. But when she comes out on the
- 13:03other side, she might be the most qualified person to tell us
- 13:09about healthy relationships, to teach us how to navigate healthy
- 13:13confrontation and repair. She might be the person on
- 13:16YouTube who has an entire YouTube channel of videos
- 13:19teaching other people how to spot red flags and how to
- 13:22navigate them, how to avoid them.
- 13:24She had to earn it, but now she's got something to share.
- 13:27She has a heart of gold, but this gold has been forged
- 13:31through fire. And so now bring those themes
- 13:33into this grand water trine. This might reflect that these
- 13:37Venus Grand Water trines, they're going to magnetize the
- 13:40people, the resources, the connections into our lives that
- 13:45come and meet us at this place of collaborative empowerment.
- 13:50It's like we're meeting people that are in our shared space of
- 13:54vulnerability, of maybe past pain or experiences.
- 14:00And it's through this resiliency, through this shared
- 14:03humanity, the vulnerability of the grief of the loss, and the
- 14:08lessons that come with really living from our heart, with
- 14:12really allowing ourselves to let love in, to share love and
- 14:15connection with others. But now it's like we find our
- 14:19support groups, we find the people that have been through
- 14:21something just like we have, and we're ready to take all of that
- 14:26and alchemize it and channel it into something creative,
- 14:28something collaborative, something with meaning and
- 14:31impact. The generosity that's being fed
- 14:34through these grand water trines is a generosity and reciprocity
- 14:37of lessons learned, of hardships overcome, of sharing resources
- 14:42or the safe space for us to come into that next phase of healing.
- 14:46So I'm feeling like this Venus in Scorpio.
- 14:49This is not like an alliance of the cool girls.
- 14:53This is an alliance of the girls who have been rejected, the
- 14:57girls who have been forgotten or exiled or hurt in the past.
- 15:01But these girls, they're not sitting in revenge and
- 15:04bitterness and resentment. No, the best revenge is
- 15:08happiness. The best revenge is thriving, is
- 15:12living your life to the greatest potential of your own
- 15:16satisfaction, of your own creative joy and success.
- 15:21And this group of Venus women, this support group, this
- 15:24alliance that's forming, they feel badass and a little bit
- 15:27unstoppable. It might feel like we're finally
- 15:30recognizing the relationships where it's safe to be
- 15:33vulnerable, it's safe to touch and be touched, to let ourselves
- 15:37be seen. And perhaps to have this moment
- 15:40of not feeling alone in our past experiences or our current
- 15:44challenges, but feeling a sense of camaraderie, a sense of
- 15:48collaboration, a sense of collective creative empowerment.
- 15:52Venus and Scorpio with these grand water shrines.
- 15:55It's getting I've got your back. We have an alliance.
- 15:58We have a circle of protection and collaboration and together
- 16:02we rise. So as Venus starts going through
- 16:05these grand water trines, this is a really important moment for
- 16:08you to recognize. Where can you be more
- 16:11vulnerable? Where can you wear your heart on
- 16:13your sleeve to the people that you've learned you can trust?
- 16:17How can your vulnerability invite the vulnerability and
- 16:20safety and the connections and collaborations that are coming?
- 16:24And also, how can your own hard earned heart resiliency, that
- 16:29heart of gold, how can that become a source, a resource that
- 16:33you can generously give out to others?
- 16:37This is that moment where generosity breeds more
- 16:40generosity. But we're not doing the shadow
- 16:43Venus in Scorpio where we're over giving our trust, our
- 16:47loyalty, our time, our energy, our care to the things that
- 16:51don't actually deserve it, to the things that just drain like
- 16:55a vampire sucking it out. We've learned those lessons.
- 16:58This means in Scorpio needs us to have the discernment, needs
- 17:02us to have the protection and give the loyalty to the
- 17:06collaborations that deserve it the most.
- 17:09And this is the moment either call in those alliances to say
- 17:12yes to them or this is also a beautiful moment to break ties
- 17:17with any sort of resentment or desire for revenge.
- 17:20Anything where the past is still pulling on our capacity to rise
- 17:25in creative power and compassion and connection.
- 17:28And this is the moment that if you have these people in your
- 17:31circle, if you're somebody who's like, I know who that community
- 17:35is or that collective of my ride or die badass bitches, then you
- 17:40need to double down on your gratitude and appreciation for
- 17:44those people. How can you give even more
- 17:46generously your Venusian, Jupiterian appreciation,
- 17:50gratitude, the investment in the people that you care about, this
- 17:54symbiotic circuitry of care that we could tap into.
- 17:59This is going to potentially be a fuel to generate an even
- 18:03greater source of creative power that Venus hasn't ever even
- 18:08tasted, touched or felt before. And then just after Venus
- 18:12completes those water trines with Jupiter and Saturn, she
- 18:16solidifies her support group. She strengthens her resolve, her
- 18:21resiliency and her confidence and her standards of exchanges.
- 18:25She moves into that opposition with Uranus and Taurus.
- 18:28And this is her moment for the breakthrough.
- 18:31This is where Venus says I am so done with the things that
- 18:37actually do not serve me. There's a sudden cut, there's a
- 18:40sudden break, there's a sudden liberation or letting go of the
- 18:44things that are not essential of any imbalanced relationship
- 18:47exchanges. Venus is receiving a clear sight
- 18:51of view from Uranus and Taurus of what true comfort, true calm,
- 18:56and true luxury truly looks like is available, and is waiting on
- 19:02the other side of her willingness to drop the dead
- 19:05weight, to drop the toxic bullshit of the bitterness, the
- 19:09betrayal, the unnecessary and toxic and draining power
- 19:14struggles. She's done.
- 19:16She's not only done, she's not alone.
- 19:18And sometimes when we realize that we're not alone, that we
- 19:21have a backup team, team of support, a circle of people that
- 19:25can mirror and reflect our confidence in owning our value,
- 19:29owning our standards, that gives us the confidence and the
- 19:32leverage to finally make that break, to finally cut that cord,
- 19:36to finally break the spell or the curse.
- 19:39So Venus is no longer fucking around and she's no longer
- 19:42falling for the bullshit. And that bullshit could also be
- 19:45her own bullshit, right? Venus is no longer falling for
- 19:49the limitations of outside comparison, any social pressures
- 19:54to perform or to be a certain way or to be with certain
- 19:58people. She doesn't care if she's in
- 20:01that cool girl group. She wants to be with the real
- 20:03people. She wants the higher quality of
- 20:05life and connection. And she's ready.
- 20:08She's available. And Uranus is giving her this
- 20:11lightning bolt of clarity and strength.
- 20:15To make the cut, to walk away, to free herself and to not be
- 20:18trapped by any sort of connection scarcity mindset.
- 20:21Venus would rather be free than be stuck or trapped in something
- 20:26that doesn't actually serve her, that doesn't actually strengthen
- 20:28her sense of self or her sense of value and standard of living
- 20:32and connection. What I love is that as soon as
- 20:35Venus makes that opposition to your honest and then the trying
- 20:37to Neptune, tying out the completion point of the
- 20:40astrological kite, Venus enters into Sagittarius and here Venus
- 20:45is ready to dance. She is an immutable fire sign
- 20:49hosted by exalted Jupiter and Cancer.
- 20:51And it's like the new introduction, the new collective
- 20:55that Venus got introduced to. Now she's going to the party and
- 20:59she gets to experience what it's like to dance without
- 21:02comparison, to feel the joy and the celebration of being with
- 21:07like minded people, people who inflamed your sense of
- 21:11inspiration and creativity. From the fixed, dark, cold water
- 21:15of the Scorpio Ocean. Come back to the beginning where
- 21:18Venus gets on this boat. It's warm, there's candles,
- 21:22there's drinks, there's snacks, there's people ready to dance,
- 21:26there's music playing. Venus is welcomed into a new
- 21:30collective place of celebration of freedom, a sense of feeling
- 21:35alive and inspired. And right away, she's going to
- 21:38make that sextile to Pluto and Aquarius, and she gets to shake
- 21:41hands with the future and the evolution of creative power
- 21:44that's just over the horizon. And just in time for our full
- 21:49moon celebration with the Gemini full moon next.
- 21:52So this week, if you're that person who's been holding the
- 21:56hand of Jack from the Titanic, floating through the dark, cold
- 22:00waters of Scorpio, holding the hand of your past, betrayal,
- 22:04resentments, desires for revenge, it's time to let go.
- 22:09Because a new boat has arrived, a new future, a new group, a new
- 22:13collective. And it all depends on your
- 22:15willingness to leave the past behind, to welcome in this new
- 22:19standard, this new opportunity to be celebrated and to
- 22:23celebrate with others, and to tap into a place of connection
- 22:28and creativity that's fun, that lights you up, that's warm, it's
- 22:32nourishing, and it's inspiring. Completing at the storyline of
- 22:35the Venus Grand Water trines and her transits.
- 22:38This week brings us to the near conclusion of the full Grand
- 22:42Water trine series in the end of 2025.
- 22:45We've got one final series with that final Mercury direct and
