I remember reading a geology book about the Catskills in New York, and being struck by how I was able to read the text about geological movements throughout time, tectonic shifts, water erosion, mile thick glaciers and ice ages, etc. etc. and I was always able to draw a metaphorical parallel between the description of the geological movements and ages, and my own personal experience of development as an individual. The slow arc of massive change, that on the surface may look like nothing is happening, but, unimaginable transformation is taking place, or violent upheaval that would forever change the landscape of what seemed like immovable objects, the elemental sculpting throughout time from seemingly more gentle but incredibly powerful forces such as water. There is a connection between what the Earth goes through and what we as children of the Earth go through. And that connection extends to the stars. As above, so below.
One of your most brilliant talks Adam. Incredibly insightful. The gravitas of your words...hits really heavy. And I thank you. It's so comforting to have a reliable voice of reason during the intensity. For your ever grounding presence. So very grateful for your channel and courses.
You have no idea how the last part of your lecture today hit my heart. ❤ Didn’t cause it, can’t control it, can’t fix it. But my Mom heart is so broken. Thank you,I needed this message right at this moment in time. Grateful. ❤️
Adam, I couldn't stop thinking about you during this talk as being exactly like an Ent, the wise trees from Lord of the Rings. You speak slowly, deliberately, and thoughtfully. And for those of us who have the patience to go beyond quick answers or dopamine hits, you provide the wisdom to help us navigate this time period that easily feels like the magnitude of continents shifting under our feet. This was a bit sobering, but no more than my life is already mired in at the moment. You are definitely an incarnate Spirit Guide.
This was amazing, i will be coming back to this video to further my reflections because it's so incredibly rich. Thank you for your ability to share so beautifully and stimulate insights in your listeners, as i'm sure i'm not the only one benefitting from your interpretations.
This was life changing. The way you presented the information allowed me to understand the process and make many connections that will help me moving forward. Thanks for your work.
So I have a natal 29 degree Pluto in Scorpio conjunct my 0 degree mars in Sag. And I was born right before a total solar eclipse in Scorpio. Mars Pluto is a wild thing to have natally. I’m always ready for some crazy shit to go down in my life. Cheers to these insane times. Thanks for your work Adam ❤
Hi starsister! I have the same Mars, but the Sun on 29 scorpio in stead of Pluto... I have gone through the valley of the shadow of death the past two years and am emerging now. 😊
Adam You're quite amazing by your abilities to dig so deep into the wider ways to see astrology possibilities. I've been in astrology for almost 5 decades, listening and communicating with many astrologers, in the US, Germany, Switzerland and Israel, I think you're way more understanding and see the infinite spectrum than them all. ❤ Thank you.
Dear Mr. Elenbaas. I want to thank you for all the meaningful work you are putting in, in producing these videos. I ve watched most of them through the years. You have a very eloquent and deep way in describing mars pluto aspects. Congratulations.
I haven’t known anyone with a substance abuse issue, but obviously many have-either they’ve struggled or a loved one has. I really appreciate your vulnerability in sharing this. It’s a really apt analogy, but more importantly, I’m sure it feels really validating and freeing to hear someone talk about it in this non-shaming way. I know that sounds ‘heady,’ but genuinely always in awe of your ability to be an astrologer who talks about these kinds of deeper pains. Ty!!
Thank you for this insightful video. I have my natal Mars at Cancer 25', so I have been living through a Mars - Pluto Opposition transit literally for years now. As a result of this process, I've personally come to metaphorically think of this as inner roadwork being performed. In this analogy, I've come to view Pluto as the machine that breaks up a highway before it can be repaved. Definitely a ground shaking process!
i have a 29 cancer saturn. So this transit process should deepen my understanding of the intensity of synchronicity, in regard to past guilt and trauma. thank you for this help is taking forgivness to heart, a difficut process. the process of cause began as i listened,, and i think we are all lucky to have a therapist.
I can't thank you enough for presentting this. At this time, I've been mapping "Pluto in my Backmirror, or a Soulmate of mine, and seeing how involved it was during major mystical period of my life. I am a medium who has ended up channeling those, like me, who were born into the Pluto in Leo generation. A connection to Pluto with Scorpio, and the Pluto Leo generation opposing Pluto in Aquarius. This video is helping me to fill in the gaps, or at least trying. Thank you again, Renee.
What a thought-provoking video and interpretation of the Mars opposition to Pluto transit. Just amazing and so relatable. I am definitely going to listen to this again. Thank you so much, Adam.
Came to yt for a word and was kindly guided to this video. Deeply resonating with your interpretations of this transit 🌹 thank you so much for your guidance and poetry 💐
Once again Adam, you have blown my mind with your deep insights and unique capacity to use analogies, your enormous store of knowledge and life experience to make complex, multifaceted concepts accessible.
I feel it is a big contribution to bring the poetic and symbolic language as a practice deepening the understanding of archetypal forces, for the simple fact that as we go deeper into astrology as inner work we eventually land into the archetypal forms. The symbolic language is a means of this understanding.
Absolutely amazing talk. I heard a lot of emotionally intelligent pieces, deeply rooted wisdom. Really deep and in time of this Scorpio season. Thank you. I am so grateful 🙏
Thank you Adam, this episode is particularly insightful for me and really appreciate the analogy with the faulty lines in geology as it helped me understand better the complexity of it. Also, the part when you talk about acceptance is so profound; interestingly I had the same revelation through a personal event very Mars opposite Pluto..Acceptance for what it is, without the judgment/analysis/narrative is the most important learning in my life now: how humbling and liberating! So grateful you share your intuitions and knowledge everyday 🧡✨
Unbelievable, you explained this in the best possible way , I to attended alon due to my parents being alcoholic,s that program taught me more then. Anything I need to start that 12 step again … so so true .. thank you
Thanks so much for this! This is a MASSIVE transit for me for multiple different reasons... Tell me you're an astrologer without saying"astrologer".... "Karmic Scientist" is officially added to my list of responses when someone asks me what I do... Other responses include, "Astral Omen Diviner" and, my personal favorite, "Practical Astronomer" 😂😂
Capricorn rising here. Son of a Preacher, bless you and this sermon of the stars. Bless your father with his knee surgery. I first listened to this talk on Spotify during my commute to work and a vision of “The Faultline” card from “The Wild Unknown Archetype” came to mind, so I listened a second time on TH-cam when I got home with the card in front of me like a mandala to meditate upon. I’m going to leave the card out while I let this sermon continue to work on me. This transit activates my native cardinal T-square + I have a host of planets at the anaretic and zero degree mark on my Chart. Transiting Mars conjuncts my native Saturn 🪐 when he opposes Pluto…Mars is visible in the early morning sky right now and I have made friends with Mars during those hours and Pluto. I pray they are working together for my best good and give me the advantage in this karmic faultline that I see creeping. Other planets at the anaretic degree are my Uranus in Libra, Chiron in Aries for the T-Square; then I have a Leo Venus retrograde at 29, Sag Neptune at 27; Leo Moon at Zero and MC Scorpio at Zero. I appreciate the thought provoking questions which I paused to write down and record my initial thoughts. The power struggle I’m experiencing on my new job with my new boss is a karmic creep, I’m bracing myself and praying for grace…cause Uranus at the 29th degree in my 10th house is ready to keep it pushing….
Loving all of the Mars/Pluto content. I have my Jupiter conjunct ASC at 3 degrees of Leo and my Saturn in Aquarius at 5 degrees. Beyond the current transits that I'm experiencing, I have been really trying to polish up my conceptualization of what these transits might indicate for me moving forward. Thanks for your insights!
With regard to Mars-Pluto and the election: I think we need to prepare for one candidate winning the popular vote while another candidate wins the Electoral College. This would engender the tension and rage regarding the unfairness of the election process. As someone with natal Mars-Pluto opposition, I am keenly aware of how the rage of this opposition reacts to underlying unfairness.
Electoral process is the best in the world. We have sovereign states. Otherwise, we would have California running the country. Look how well they run their state.
Huh. I just looked at my children's charts and realized my daughter has Pluto opp Mars! She doesn't express it well, she keeps a lot of emotions inside, so I find this helpful to know!
Was does everyone act so surprised when the popular vote doesn’t agree with the electoral college. People just don’t understand the checks and balances system. Additionally, if people really want fair elections, then we need all states to be required to verify voter identities, & states allowing non-citizens to vote needs to be stopped.
Best talk ever Adam!! Thank you for your raw and honest approach. Absolutely get in love the metaphor of fault lines. Naturally have been tracking earth movement since there's plenty right now in California. I have also been reflecting on this as evolutionary releases of pressure on the collective process.❤
Thank you for this thought provoking and beautiful video. Your talent for interpreting the symbolism and meaning brings it down to earth for me and helps in turning the jewel.
I admire your transparency and wisdom! I am very excited to start this class!! Did I mention my natal Pluto is conjunct natal saturn (my chart ruler) with a natal square to mars and natal Pluto squaring transit Pluto in my first house right now? WHEW!!! I am very excited and inspired, GB ✌️ ❤😊 👑 🦁
Great vid. Points 3 & 4 felt very Piscean: as a Gem Rising w/Sun, Mercury, and N. Node in the 3rd, I struggle with acceptance so I appreciate you sharing these perspectives.
With mercury and Jupiter now in mutual reception I can't think of anything else but the wisdom of the union of the opposites or 'conjunctio' oppositorum
Adam I’m a zenith degree Leo Jupiter on my ascendant. This is very interesting. Just lost my job but my YT channel is being reinvented and I just applied to go back to school. VERY INTERESTING
hello Adam, I've been a fan for a very long time, I want to let you know that I did not appreciate this video, this video of scared me so much terrified triggered, I have thought a million battles, I have been to rock bottom, I have almost ended my life multiple times I have suffered bad karma of life, I have learned the lessons. Fought the battles, but I'm still here, and for the first time in my life, I feel safe, secure and blessed with the home, but. I go to you for guidance and to feel safe and reassured the universe to guide me, but when I listen to this video, it triggered me, I felt anger uncertain of what to come, I can not go through any more rock bottom, I cannot suffer another second on this earth, because I will not make it, I do not have it in me, just suffer anymore. There may be people that have had not as bad karma easier trails, but I've barely been here on earth for the past decade or 2 decades, and I just finally feel ok, but now I don't now I'm scared now I'm terrified, I feel uneasy, unhinged, I just wanted you to know that I love all your work, I followed you for years and years and years, and I, you are my daily. Meditation, but when I listen to this video, it upset me good, scared me.
" a lot of us will experience creeps" lol, sorry, I'm experiencing a few of them in my life. I know that's not what you meant but it made me giggle Thank you Adam. Pluto 4° off my asc atm. Ugh.
This talk (so far 😂) sums up why I'm looking forward to year one class starting! You aren't just regurgitating lists of significations. You preface with "this is how I see it, but you don't have to," and then you give examples of why this makes sense to you. Also, your point of, we are all experiencing these transits, but it may not be directly affecting us individually so much as someone around us. I feel our society is sorely lacking in the ability to stand witness and give space to those people/events to unfold. This is how I would envision a talk given in ancient times (minus the togas 😂). While we have unarguable mathmatical facts of where the heavenly bodies are in the cosmos at any given time, to bring it down here, we need poetry, imagination, creativity, logic, observational skills, and other very human traits. This is where the art and science of astrology meet. This metaphor is a great example! I will be looking at Mars/Pluto placements and transits in my and my family's charts over the next few days. There was an event that started me down the path of astrology that affected us but in different ways. For me, the event(s) felt very karmic and in alignment with my soul's journey, especially in hindsight, even though it absolutely sucked. While I fully believe in free will, I also believe there are times when the universe places a course correction in our paths.
In Tarot the card of the planet Mars is the Tower. In a similar way to which you speak of hitting a bottom and the acceptance of necessity that follows, the card represents on (let's say) it's fullest expression, lightning striking a tower which, while destructive, is a tremendous release of energy & illusion and what one could term a return of the King. That seeming reversal into the opposite is reflected in emotional release itself. For instance, if sadness is fully gone into, probably brought on by an event, one will see the sadness transform into a sort of joy right at the peak of the emotional intensity. Jung called upon the Greek word Enantiodromia for this conversion into the opposite. I would also say the emphasis on hitting a bottom may lead us to imagine that all extreme transformation occurs that way. One of my problems with some AA thought is that this is simply untrue for many people. It can happen slowly overtime like Adam speaks of with the fault lines. Often the actual transformation seems to come quite suddenly for little apparent reason but it is a natural result of a process one has been going through. Hear me very generally but I will risk going off on a tangent relating this to addiction by saying the main reason AA and NA are different groups is because it is seen that alcoholics tend towards a certain psychology that is very emotionally repressed and this is likely why they generally hit a bottom the way they do instead of a more gradual cleansing away of the dirt covering ones true self. This is SO important to point out because it feeds the idea of spiritual transformation as a sudden event of great proportion instead of what it often is as a long process of disillusionment.
One author says of the Tower (paraphrasing) that when the lightning strikes at that exact moment Zeus (Jupiter) has defeated Chronos (Saturn) and essentially the divine order of the cosmos returns.
This was well timed as I have my 1st session or ART therapy today. I find it ironic that she wants to 'give me a voice and stand up for myself' just as Mars is going thru my career house.....the fault lines in that area of my life have been creeping for about 10 years now and something is definitely shifting currently.
Early this morning I was outside and saw the moon right in front of me. To the right I could clearly see Jupiter (thanks to a star app) and to the left of the moon was mars. This new moon is right next to my natal moon and mid heaven at 6 Scorpio. I feel a tectonic shift in the signs I’m seeing from the stars. My confidence (mars) in acting on my intense emotions (mars ruled moon in Scorpio) is growing (Jupiter).
very profound!! 😅 Thank you! I am still a little apprehensive however, about this opposition. I do suspect this first pass with be more of a creep, hopefully. my brain isn't grasping it that well. Pluto will be conjunct my natal jupiter at 1°40' aquarius, 9th house, but not yet. Although not exact. I do think I will be effected because that cusp of the 9th is, 29°54. yikes. I can t say I have noticed alot of change having pluto conjunct that cusp.
this is great. I hit a bottom with my masturbation habit. After using 4 times consecutively sunday night I spent all day monday in bed physicaly recovering. it was bad. then tuesday i spent the day dealing with the mental side effects. I was hating life. suicidal, it was bad. I was real worried cause I tried real hard to put 25 days together and was feeling great and then the above happened so I cant do it anymore cause who knows if ill survive next time, but it's not like i'll stop having urges, its like being an alcoholic and all of a sudden the drink just starts making you so sick its not even worth it anymore, but all that crap youve been running away from is still there. i was really upset at first and thinking it was unfair cause how could existence give me such a high sex drive and then say I cant do it anymore, but I'm staying positive and see it as an opportunity to finally start to live life. its scary but im excited for the journey. Natal Mars in Cancer, Capricorn rising.
Hi, Adam! Can you please talk about these transits in relation to the media power these past years? As Pluto is related to power and the media being the 4th power?
I didn't catch what day this aspect happened, but I know that Mars is in the sign of my natal 3° Cancer moon, and Pluto is in the sign of my 1° natal SN. On October 7, my eldest born son unexpectedly passed away due to medical complications. I have lost many people over the past 18 years, family, friends, children of friends, and this by far is the most devastating of them all.
#grabbed I had an accident a few days ago and ended up fracturing my foot in two places. Devastating for me, as a highly independent and very active person. I can’t walk, weight train, or drive, and am now reliant on my mum (Pluto transiting my 4th) which is creating a small amount of friction between us and in the home. Transiting Mars (10th) has been squaring my late degree Libra Ascendant, and I’ve been forced to take time off work, which, as a workaholic, I loathe to do. My new boss is extremely supportive and has my assigned my work to my colleagues, who were happy to help. Up until now, I’ve only taken 1 sick day in the past 3 years. Natally, I have Mars in Pisces (6h) at 29 degrees. Natal Pluto conjuncts my 1st house sun and is inconjunct my moon. I feel like the Universe had to make me vulnerable so I could learn to accept support and love. Ironically, the role I work in is helping needy people.
Weirdly I fractured my tibia after a random fall in March last year. I also have mars in pisces. Lots going on in my chart at the time as well. It’s been shocking. Hoping your recovery is quick. Practice patience. 💜
I've got Jupiter opp Saturn in the early degrees of fixed signs, 6th and 12th houses respectively. I might need some professional advice for this transit.
How do you use astrology and the 12 steps of recovery? One day at a time, I have to be accountable for my past and present actions. I’m powerless over so much except myself. So I’m wondering how you combine both in your day to day life. I have recovered and transmuted much, the onion continues to peel. I listen to Virgo sun, Cancer moon, Pisces rising sections to get a feel for outer forces, what else can I get to know?
@kateholmes4536 12 step emphasizes presence and surrender, not trying to control what we can't control, the planets are always reminding us that so many divine forces are at work in our lives, and by studying their movements we can also learn to trust the nature of our experiences and, weirdly, this study of the seasons of time keeps us surrendered and present for them if we let it...this is why yogis and stoics and even Christians have practiced astrology...its a divine language that is there to help us trust and let go!
The transit hasn't even hit and I'm already feeling the effects of it. My mom, whose a cancer rising just announced she's getting a divorce after 50+ years of marriage 😔 I can't believe it
God this is hitting home- I have my natal Chiron in Aries 6th house at 27 degrees. Has been, is and will be a long tough journey if I can't accept and let go of what is happening to my body. My sun and Lilith are also very close by in Aries in the 3rd decan and both Mars and Pluto are my chart rulers. Natal Mars in Cancer and natal Saturn at 26 degrees Cancer
Sermon from the stars is well received and 💯 on point! Seeing and feeling these transits is more obvious but the why is definitely going to take time. A lifetime journey. Thank you Adam for your daily and helpful content 🙏🏽❤️
…a bit from “The Wild Unknown Archetypes” by Kim Krans on “The Faultline” archetype…”This card comes as a potent warming not to deny the shakiness that’s afoot. It’s much better to prepare yourself for change than to walk along The Faultline pretending all is well.” Like Astro Adam said, there is no easy fix for the situation at hand, it will require a foundational shift, a structural change. I do pray for us to rise like the phoenix 🐦🔥 as this Mars opposition to Pluto hosts this forthcoming new moon 🌚
I remember reading a geology book about the Catskills in New York, and being struck by how I was able to read the text about geological movements throughout time, tectonic shifts, water erosion, mile thick glaciers and ice ages, etc. etc. and I was always able to draw a metaphorical parallel between the description of the geological movements and ages, and my own personal experience of development as an individual. The slow arc of massive change, that on the surface may look like nothing is happening, but, unimaginable transformation is taking place, or violent upheaval that would forever change the landscape of what seemed like immovable objects, the elemental sculpting throughout time from seemingly more gentle but incredibly powerful forces such as water.
There is a connection between what the Earth goes through and what we as children of the Earth go through. And that connection extends to the stars.
As above, so below.

Just a quick comment that on Nov. 1, transiting Mars is exactly conjunct the US Constitution's natal Uranus in the 8h house.
Very helpful Adam. Thank you!
Beautiful. Thank you.
Adam this discussion was very reflection thank you so much for all you do.
Very powerful content, thank you.

I admire your transparency and wisdom! I am very excited to start this class!! Did I mention my natal Pluto is conjunct natal saturn (my chart ruler) with a natal square to mars and natal Pluto squaring transit Pluto in my first house right now? WHEW!!!
I am very excited and inspired, GB
✌️ ❤😊 👑 🦁
Both my son's have this same transit as you.I guess we will see son enough.There will be some tremendous grabbed episodes.
Great vid. Points 3 & 4 felt very Piscean: as a Gem Rising w/Sun, Mercury, and N. Node in the 3rd, I struggle with acceptance so I appreciate you sharing these perspectives.
With mercury and Jupiter now in mutual reception I can't think of anything else but the wisdom of the union of the opposites or 'conjunctio' oppositorum
Wonderful. Thank you 🙏
Thank you. This was such a good learning session for me😊
Thank you. On point!❤
Ty❤
Thank you, Adam.
This Scorpio new moon culminates a week or so after the last mars Pluto opposition in April/May. Fascinating
Beautifully said “Astrology is a form of communication” Thank you!
Resonating deep 🫠
Really great video
Thank you...I very much appreciate your ability to communicate deep concepts, and inherent dynamics...
Thank you so much
Adam I’m a zenith degree Leo Jupiter on my ascendant. This is very interesting. Just lost my job but my YT channel is being reinvented and I just applied to go back to school. VERY INTERESTING
Very insightful thank you🙏
Wow This video is freaking hitting the spot! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for this beautiful offering ✨🦋🌌
hello Adam, I've been a fan for a very long time, I want to let you know that I did not appreciate this video, this video of scared me so much terrified triggered, I have thought a million battles, I have been to rock bottom, I have almost ended my life multiple times I have suffered bad karma of life, I have learned the lessons. Fought the battles, but I'm still here, and for the first time in my life, I feel safe, secure and blessed with the home, but. I go to you for guidance and to feel safe and reassured the universe to guide me, but when I listen to this video, it triggered me, I felt anger uncertain of what to come, I can not go through any more rock bottom, I cannot suffer another second on this earth, because I will not make it, I do not have it in me, just suffer anymore. There may be people that have had not as bad karma easier trails, but I've barely been here on earth for the past decade or 2 decades, and I just finally feel ok, but now I don't now I'm scared now I'm terrified, I feel uneasy, unhinged, I just wanted you to know that I love all your work, I followed you for years and years and years, and I, you are my daily. Meditation, but when I listen to this video, it upset me good, scared me.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 this was a wonderful slow and clear analogy. ✌🏾✌🏾
You made me so emotional. Thank you
Really loved this Adam! I always appreciate going deep. Thank-you! 🙏☮️💟
Excellent food for thought🙏❤️
You are looking very handsome and I've listened to you since 2020. I've watched you get smarter and smarter. Love and strength to you, young man. ❤️
I appreciate this good timing!
" a lot of us will experience creeps" lol, sorry, I'm experiencing a few of them in my life. I know that's not what you meant but it made me giggle
Thank you Adam.
Pluto 4° off my asc atm. Ugh.
This was really fun to chew on.
The sermon from the stars. LOL! The teacher is a preacher.!
Very deep and thought provoking
Extraordinary. Thank you
So good! Totally grabbed! 🙏✨✨✨💛
I’m excited to be taking your year 1 course! 😆 I have 29 degree ♑️ IC/♋️ MC. And my chart ruler, Venus, is at 2 degrees ♒️
This talk (so far 😂) sums up why I'm looking forward to year one class starting! You aren't just regurgitating lists of significations.
You preface with "this is how I see it, but you don't have to," and then you give examples of why this makes sense to you. Also, your point of, we are all experiencing these transits, but it may not be directly affecting us individually so much as someone around us. I feel our society is sorely lacking in the ability to stand witness and give space to those people/events to unfold.
This is how I would envision a talk given in ancient times (minus the togas 😂). While we have unarguable mathmatical facts of where the heavenly bodies are in the cosmos at any given time, to bring it down here, we need poetry, imagination, creativity, logic, observational skills, and other very human traits. This is where the art and science of astrology meet. This metaphor is a great example!
I will be looking at Mars/Pluto placements and transits in my and my family's charts over the next few days. There was an event that started me down the path of astrology that affected us but in different ways. For me, the event(s) felt very karmic and in alignment with my soul's journey, especially in hindsight, even though it absolutely sucked.
While I fully believe in free will, I also believe there are times when the universe places a course correction in our paths.
Such healing words ❤🙏🏼🔥
Thank you, Adam! This is a beautiful powerful teaching🙏🙏🙏
I love how you set up that wheel 😊
In Tarot the card of the planet Mars is the Tower. In a similar way to which you speak of hitting a bottom and the acceptance of necessity that follows, the card represents on (let's say) it's fullest expression, lightning striking a tower which, while destructive, is a tremendous release of energy & illusion and what one could term a return of the King. That seeming reversal into the opposite is reflected in emotional release itself. For instance, if sadness is fully gone into, probably brought on by an event, one will see the sadness transform into a sort of joy right at the peak of the emotional intensity. Jung called upon the Greek word Enantiodromia for this conversion into the opposite. I would also say the emphasis on hitting a bottom may lead us to imagine that all extreme transformation occurs that way. One of my problems with some AA thought is that this is simply untrue for many people. It can happen slowly overtime like Adam speaks of with the fault lines. Often the actual transformation seems to come quite suddenly for little apparent reason but it is a natural result of a process one has been going through. Hear me very generally but I will risk going off on a tangent relating this to addiction by saying the main reason AA and NA are different groups is because it is seen that alcoholics tend towards a certain psychology that is very emotionally repressed and this is likely why they generally hit a bottom the way they do instead of a more gradual cleansing away of the dirt covering ones true self. This is SO important to point out because it feeds the idea of spiritual transformation as a sudden event of great proportion instead of what it often is as a long process of disillusionment.
One author says of the Tower (paraphrasing) that when the lightning strikes at that exact moment Zeus (Jupiter) has defeated Chronos (Saturn) and essentially the divine order of the cosmos returns.
So glad you brought up Processings! I’m a processor! 🙌🏼
Awesome sermon from the stars! 💫
You are a genius
This was well timed as I have my 1st session or ART therapy today. I find it ironic that she wants to 'give me a voice and stand up for myself' just as Mars is going thru my career house.....the fault lines in that area of my life have been creeping for about 10 years now and something is definitely shifting currently.
Early this morning I was outside and saw the moon right in front of me. To the right I could clearly see Jupiter (thanks to a star app) and to the left of the moon was mars.
This new moon is right next to my natal moon and mid heaven at 6 Scorpio.
I feel a tectonic shift in the signs I’m seeing from the stars. My confidence (mars) in acting on my intense emotions (mars ruled moon in Scorpio) is growing (Jupiter).
very profound!! 😅 Thank you! I am still a little apprehensive however, about this opposition. I do suspect this first pass with be more of a creep, hopefully. my brain isn't grasping it that well. Pluto will be conjunct my natal jupiter at 1°40' aquarius, 9th house, but not yet. Although not exact. I do think I will be effected because that cusp of the 9th is, 29°54. yikes. I can t say I have noticed alot of change having pluto conjunct that cusp.
this is great. I hit a bottom with my masturbation habit. After using 4 times consecutively sunday night I spent all day monday in bed physicaly recovering. it was bad. then tuesday i spent the day dealing with the mental side effects. I was hating life. suicidal, it was bad. I was real worried cause I tried real hard to put 25 days together and was feeling great and then the above happened so I cant do it anymore cause who knows if ill survive next time, but it's not like i'll stop having urges, its like being an alcoholic and all of a sudden the drink just starts making you so sick its not even worth it anymore, but all that crap youve been running away from is still there. i was really upset at first and thinking it was unfair cause how could existence give me such a high sex drive and then say I cant do it anymore, but I'm staying positive and see it as an opportunity to finally start to live life. its scary but im excited for the journey.
Natal Mars in Cancer, Capricorn rising.
Hi, Adam! Can you please talk about these transits in relation to the media power these past years? As Pluto is related to power and the media being the 4th power?
I didn't catch what day this aspect happened, but I know that Mars is in the sign of my natal 3° Cancer moon, and Pluto is in the sign of my 1° natal SN. On October 7, my eldest born son unexpectedly passed away due to medical complications. I have lost many people over the past 18 years, family, friends, children of friends, and this by far is the most devastating of them all.

I had an accident a few days ago and ended up fracturing my foot in two places.
Devastating for me, as a highly independent and very active person. I can’t walk, weight train, or drive, and am now reliant on my mum (Pluto transiting my 4th) which is creating a small amount of friction between us and in the home.
Transiting Mars (10th) has been squaring my late degree Libra Ascendant, and I’ve been forced to take time off work, which, as a workaholic, I loathe to do. My new boss is extremely supportive and has my assigned my work to my colleagues, who were happy to help. Up until now, I’ve only taken 1 sick day in the past 3 years.
Natally, I have Mars in Pisces (6h) at 29 degrees. Natal Pluto conjuncts my 1st house sun and is inconjunct my moon.
I feel like the Universe had to make me vulnerable so I could learn to accept support and love.
Ironically, the role I work in is helping needy people.
Weirdly I fractured my tibia after a random fall in March last year. I also have mars in pisces. Lots going on in my chart at the time as well. It’s been shocking. Hoping your recovery is quick. Practice patience. 💜

I've got Jupiter opp Saturn in the early degrees of fixed signs, 6th and 12th houses respectively. I might need some professional advice for this transit.
Could it possible be a karmic release? a quake,then a release?
How do you use astrology and the 12 steps of recovery? One day at a time, I have to be accountable for my past and present actions. I’m powerless over so much except myself. So I’m wondering how you combine both in your day to day life. I have recovered and transmuted much, the onion continues to peel. I listen to Virgo sun, Cancer moon, Pisces rising sections to get a feel for outer forces, what else can I get to know?
@kateholmes4536 12 step emphasizes presence and surrender, not trying to control what we can't control, the planets are always reminding us that so many divine forces are at work in our lives, and by studying their movements we can also learn to trust the nature of our experiences and, weirdly, this study of the seasons of time keeps us surrendered and present for them if we let it...this is why yogis and stoics and even Christians have practiced astrology...its a divine language that is there to help us trust and let go!
The transit hasn't even hit and I'm already feeling the effects of it. My mom, whose a cancer rising just announced she's getting a divorce after 50+ years of marriage 😔 I can't believe it
God this is hitting home- I have my natal Chiron in Aries 6th house at 27 degrees. Has been, is and will be a long tough journey if I can't accept and let go of what is happening to my body. My sun and Lilith are also very close by in Aries in the 3rd decan and both Mars and Pluto are my chart rulers. Natal Mars in Cancer and natal Saturn at 26 degrees Cancer
Sermon from the stars is well received and 💯 on point! Seeing and feeling these transits is more obvious but the why is definitely going to take time. A lifetime journey. Thank you Adam for your daily and helpful content 🙏🏽❤️
…a bit from “The Wild Unknown Archetypes” by Kim Krans on “The Faultline” archetype…”This card comes as a potent warming not to deny the shakiness that’s afoot. It’s much better to prepare yourself for change than to walk along The Faultline pretending all is well.” Like Astro Adam said, there is no easy fix for the situation at hand, it will require a foundational shift, a structural change. I do pray for us to rise like the phoenix 🐦🔥 as this Mars opposition to Pluto hosts this forthcoming new moon 🌚
*Serpent* , Scorpio season, both: Mars, Pluto - rulers.
