Hello and welcome. This is the Astrology of the Week Ahead podcast. I'm your host, your Astro Bestie, Channy Nicholas. We have another big, exciting week because it's March. And that's just the deal with March. March 2025, if you have yet to hear me say this, is one of the biggest astrological months of 2025. It is host to eclipse season, which we are getting right into this week. It's also host to a Venus retrograde that started on March 1st. So you're now very familiar with Venus retrograde, at least in part. And it's also host to a Mercury retrograde. Isn't that cute that they're going to both retrograde together? And they're retrograding through the same signs.

And they're actually meeting up this week. So as Mercury is stationing retrograde, technically it doesn't station retrograde until Friday the 14th, but it's slowing down and it meets up with Venus on Tuesday. Venus is already retrograde. Mercury is about to retrograde. We're going to talk about what kind of messages from the deep they are bringing us. What kind of messages about unity and intimacy and fighting. the power together, that they are definitely absolutely bringing to the surface, bringing to the

four. And then we have our first eclipse in Virgo near the South node in a couple of decades. This is a big deal when we have a new type of eclipse. An eclipse in and of itself is a big deal, but when we have a new type of eclipse or an eclipse in a new sign, in a sign that we haven't had in a while, again, near a node that hasn't been there for a couple of decades. The nodes take a couple of decades to get back to the same sign, so about 19 years. So when we have an eclipse for the first time in a sign that we haven't had for a while with the north or south node there that hasn't been there for a while, you get the picture. It's a whole new chapter that we're opening up. And eclipses are times where things change rapidly.

Eclipses are times where the events of life speed up pretty dramatically. And eclipses are times where we get either abrupt endings or openings. And sometimes both. Sometimes one thing has to end right before another opens and begins. And so there's just like a changeover that tends to happen during eclipse season. Now, when I say eclipse season, it's generally over the span of two weeks. So we're going to have an eclipse this week and we're going to have an eclipse at the very end of March. Very different eclipses. This is the beginning of eclipses in Virgo. The one at the end of March is the ending

of eclipses in Ares. So again, part of the reason why March is such a game-changing month because there's so many transitions that are happening. There's a new thing coming in and an old thing closing because it's eclipse season, but also because we have a brand new set of eclipses occurring and then an old set of eclipses wrapping up. So we have new beginnings and we have closures. Now, I want to talk about this eclipse and why it is so fascinating to me. I think this, I don't want you to think of eclipses as good or bad. Sometimes they're very intense, oftentimes. They're very electric and intense. This is the thing with eclipses. They either blot out the light of the sun or the moon. This week's is the light of the moon. And the light of the sun

is obviously very important because it's our literal life source, especially before we had electricity. Imagine how important the light of the sun was. So if it got obliterated, it would be like, what is happening to our ancient conscious awareness? And also our ancient brain was very mythically observant of the world in a lot of time periods and a lot of cultures. And so we also made meaning of this. When the light of the moon, like this week's eclipse does, goes out and, you know, sometimes turns red and all the things that happen, it's much more about our unconscious or our subconscious. again, our kind of mythic brain, our nighttime brain, our nighttime being, and the mysteries of the dark that really get heightened. What do I mean by that on a practical level? Well, this

week's eclipse is nodding to something that is not necessarily fully conscious yet. So we have a lunar eclipse quite often what is in the shadows or what is in the night time or what is in the dark gets brought to awareness because the light flickers and so we pay attention. And that's in general what eclipses are like. The light flickers and we're like, whoa, what is that? That's startling. And we get a little like shot of adrenaline, metaphorically speaking. And then we're more alert. What's happening? What's going on? What is this change that's occurring? And usually eclipses are times that really impact the leaders of our world. So, you know, fingers crossed, we can wish for all of that to come, especially that last eclipse in areas that's happening on March 29th is very

much about the leaders of this world and what they're going through and what we're going through as a result. But it generally can signify a change in leadership in some way, shape, or form. So we don't want to think about just the people that are in so-called power right now. or in supremacy right now, in dictatorship right now, we want to also think about leaders coming up. Who's coming up? Who's showing themselves as a leader? Who's showing themselves as somebody with potential? Who's showing themselves as someone with a fighting spirit that knows how to rally people? Which brings me to Tuesday's astrology. Venus retrograde right now in Ares is like fingers on a chalkboard a little bit in a way that's trying to get us to get together.

Now, I'm recording this at the end of February, so I don't know what's happening this March 11th. I don't know what's going on this week, but I'm pretty close to it. So this is such a good day to get out a message that rallies people's spirit to be controversial and to be contrarian for the good of all. This is such a good day to say, no, we won't. But it's the we, right? Because Venus is a planet of social cohesion. Venus is a planet that gathers us around beauty, around art, around our collective interests. Venus is about unity and Venus is about unions. So I want us to think about literal unions, how important literal unions are. For, you know, whether they are functioning or not or whatever, the concept of being unionized and unionizing can be obviously exceptionally important.

So what's happening this week with literal unions? What are they saying? What are the leaders of unions saying? What are people that believe in unions saying? That could be a level of this. And then there's also, again, this rally cry because Venus is in. the sign opposite to what it likes to be in. And Venus is a planet of justice and balance and fairness and equality because it is a planet that rules the sign Libra, and that's what Libra is about. It also rules tourists, which loves peace and beauty and chilling out. I digress. Venus right now is still in Ares. So it's retrograding. So it's going down deep into the subject of something, and it is pulling something out for us to look at, which is about how we come together, where we are

unified, where there is an union, what has happened to the fabric of our social life and our social situation. And because it's in Ares, it's getting attention and it's being contrarian and it's really kicking up a fuss or that can be what it's about quite often. It is. Now, when when Mercury meets up with Venus, take out the sign that it's meeting up in, take out the fact that Venus is retrograde, it's really good for giving love notes and affirmations of affection and affirmations of all kinds. Mercury is the translator for whatever planet it talks to. So when it talks to Venus, it's all about love and pleasure and beauty and what we enjoy. And when Venus is an Aries, that's going to be like some hot topic. So that's like, oh, I didn't know you were into that,

That's cute. And then when Venus is retrograde in Ares, it's going to be like, ah, this is how we fight the power together. This is how we come together and rally around a common cause. And this is what I say to get the people interested in that. So I just want us to take note about those conversations that are happening early in the week because they feel really encouraging to me. Maybe I'm projecting my hope into the future, but, you know, I could do worse things. On Wednesday, the sun and Saturn come together. Very different vibe. This is a reality check and this is going to be folded into Thursday's eclipse. So on one hand, we're moving right into the next eclipse or the first eclipse of eclipse season, the next eclipse that is happening in the series of all eclipses. But

on Wednesday, we are clarifying something because Saturn is the critic, is the taskmaster, is the one who makes sure that we have everything exactly as it needs to be. Everything is correctly ordered. Saturn knows what's right and what's wrong. So Saturn is very definitive, very cut and dry and very much about what is needed still, what is lacking, and what is finished. Like Saturn's fair. Saturn's like, if you've really done your work, Saturn's like, okay, you get to pass. But until you've done your work, no. So there's something that gets clarified. There's a criticism.

There is a reality check. There's a hard truth that gets, again, brought to the surface, brought to conscious awareness on Wednesday. It's also, you know, a Kazimi is said to be like a good day for that planet, or it's thought to be really fortifying for the issues that that planet symbolizes. So this Wednesday can be really good for us to get super clear on what it is we need to work on. Like, yes, this is my side of the story. This is my side of the street. This is my half of the equation. This is the work that I can do.

This is what I take responsibility for. This is not what I take responsibility for. We have to know those types of boundaries. So Wednesday is really good for clarifying boundaries and responsibilities. and the work that needs to get done. Thursday is the lunar eclipse in Virgo. All right, listen. A lunar eclipse in Virgo near the South Note.

So the South Note is a place of clearing things out and cleaning things out and healing. And if Virgo knows how to do anything, it's to help us heal. And this is why Virgo knows where everything goes. Virgo knows how everything goes. Vergo knows how something works. Vergo knows the system. When something is out of line in the system, the whole machinery backfires. And we cannot get our job done. And therefore, the energy gets backed up. And that's something that we could call a stuckness or a problem or a limit or a

boundary or something isn't, you know, when it's not working, it's not working. And Virgo's like, let me go in and fine-tune everything. And each every, each every, each and every, each and every cog in the wheel needs to be oiled and make sure it's not rusty and make sure it's moving. And then Virgo knows how to get everything moving in the direction it's supposed to move in so that the whole system can do its thing and be in harmony and flow and figure itself out. Virgo knows how to set the conditions so that everything can work its way out. But if the system is messed with, if it's clogged, if it's malfunctioning, if it's out of alignment, then everything around it is going to suffer. And so Virgo goes in and there's like, that's not right and this isn't correct and this doesn't work and that da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

But it's for the benefit of all. It's for the benefit of the entire system. or the benefit of all of us. So Virgo always wants to apply its skill towards a service so that something can function. Like, let's get this working. This is a mess. Let's get it working. It's not personal. It just, do you want this thing to work or not? Because I can tell you how it will work. So Virgo and Virgo is a sign and Saturn's a planet, but they do actually have a lot in common. And, you know, if you have Saturn and Virgo, my goodness, Lord help everybody around you because you need to channel that energy of critique and need to be working hard in a certain direction. Don't let it backfire in

on yourself. Channel it out forward. So this eclipse is featuring Saturn in direct opposition to it because Saturn and the sun are together, almost at the exact same degree still, when the eclipse happens. What do all these pieces mean? Well, Saturn sitting in opposition to a full moon to anything, is going to be peering into the situation with the most critical, skeptical kind of eye. Now, Saturn is right now in Pisces, which is not a critical and skeptical sign. It's actually a sign that's described as kind of all accepting and compassionate, even sometimes

kind of gullible. I'm just quoting the ancients. Don't at me. But there is not as much critique here when Saturn is in Pisces. It's a little bit more wobbly. It's a little bit more like, well, that's okay. But this eclipse is in Virgo. And as we all know, Virgo knows how to focus on the details.

but this Virgo's eclipse is near the South node. And the South node is a place where we let things go. So oftentimes when the South Node is moving through a sign, or when the South Node is moving through a sign, we oftentimes notice a decrease in some of the qualities of that sign. So the South Node entered into Virgo on January 11th of 2025. And it signals an 18-month process. And it signals an 18-month process, of something about Virgo and its tendencies being decreased on a general level. My hope is that we remember that people are not perfect. We are people. And that if we want to gather with others to enact our collective power,

we cannot demand that everyone show up perfectly or set another way as we think they should. People are going to show up how they are. We're going to show up how we are. And if we want to actually fight anything together, if we want to actually move in a direction together, if we want to actually recreate something together, be in a creative, reciprocal place that is prosperous because we're in, engage with our creativity in community, we need to be able to withstand the discomfort of being with people that we don't like. We have to agree on the fact that we all deserve human rights. We have to agree on some baseline things. But you're going to annoy me. I for sure I'm going to

annoy you. And we have to learn how to cope and work through all of that if we're going to get anywhere, especially when we are facing fascism on a global scale. So we have to be able to like let go of the need for everyone to show up perfectly, which means we have to let go of the need for us to show up perfectly as well. I hope we're prepared. I hope we're well studied. I hope we're thorough. Those are all Virgo qualities that we want to keep.

But I don't want to be in a situation where there's only four. people on my team because I didn't like the other two million. That's my problem. Like I need to deal with that. And so I think that the South London Virgo, if it can help us do something, it can help us be less obsessed or concerned with everyone being specifically right in a way that's very white supremacist if we're just going to be honest about it and label it. And like anything that's like, you know, we're supposed to be pure or we're supposed to eat clean or, you know, do all these things that are just very white supremac coded. That can be a Virgo South Node benefit, right?

That we release this stuff about puritanical anything or about being specifically right about fill in the blank and that we be more embracing of where we can gain power, where we can build power, where we can engage with community and where we can keep each other safe, where we can keep each other engaged with our own appropriate and needed and necessary civil disobedience to throw it back to Venus retrograding through Ares. Okay, so that's my hope. So this is the first lunar eclipse. This is the first eclipse near the South Node in Virgo.

So we're opening up a chapter. And it is about the decrease of something Virgo. So it could be about the decrease of facts. Not good. Could be about the decrease of reality. Not good. Could be about the decrease of the truth, journalism. This is a sign that's ruled by Mercury, which none of that obviously would be any good

or of any service to us. Would be a great help to fascism, though. Just got to put that in there. So, you know, the astrology is just a reflection. of what's happening down here. So how do we keep the truth and lose the need for perfectionism or lose the need for perfection or the demand for that? That's one of the questions I think this eclipse is asking us. And because this eclipse is pitted against Saturn or Saturn's pitted against this eclipse, it does feel like there's a harsh reality check to it. It does feel like there is something of a

scrutiny here. But again, it feels like there's something also wobbly in our ability to tally things up because the South Node is involved and because Saturn's in the sign of Pisces and because the ruler of this eclipse is Mercury and Mercury stations retrograde on February 14th. So all of this together is just like, okay, this is a moment where we're letting go of something, where we're cleansing something, we could use it to be like, ah, these are the things in the system that do not work. I'm not going to be sentimental about it. That's what like a Virgo-Saturn combination is really good at. Being sentimental about like a party or a, you know, political home or like a strategy that doesn't work is not a smart thing to be sentimental.

about. I mean, you can have feelings about it, but if we're attached to something that literally doesn't function anymore, what are we doing but preparing to lose everything that we need to keep us going on the planet? So there is this thing of like, okay, if it doesn't work, can we compost it? Can we return it back to a valuable state? Can we use it to sort of, serve the whole. Paises, where the sun and Saturn are, are the whole. Virgo, where the moon and the south node are and the eclipse happens, is the pieces. The pieces have to serve the whole. The whole has to take care of the pieces and the parts. And so this is the dichotomy that we are working through this week.

This is beginning a whole new chapter in the part of your chart that contains Virgo. And the chapter is about healing. It's about letting something go. I need you to go listen to your reading this week. I need you to go understand where Virgo is in your chart. There's a great release that's happening. For some of you, that'll be about putting out a lot of work that you've been compiling. For some of you, it'll be about a massive shedding of identity.

Like if your Virgo rising or your Virgo sun or if the ruler of your chart is in Virgo, this will be like, okay, I'm letting go of something. I'm shedding something because that's what the South Node does. It helps us to release and let go of. And so if we have been working away at something and we're like, it's not perfect yet. It's not perfect yet. I have to tell, I have to study 17 more years of this one specific thing in order to be worthy of putting this out into the world. No, stop it. Put it out. I mean, do what you need to do. But I think it's, this is signaling like, okay, get things as correct as they can be. Fact check? Absolutely. Make sure our data is correct. We have to be like on alert for that the next year and a half because the data and the truth are going to be, as we already

know, like de-escalating. So we have to be our own fact checkers and we have to be the ones that are like, this is correct and these are my sources. That is good work to do with a South Node in Virgo situation. But being like, I don't know, it could be more perfect. That we want to stay away from. If you have something important in Virgo or wherever Virgo is in your chart, that's the part of your life where you're going to be releasing something into the world or shedding something psychologically, emotionally, spiritually. We are moving things through. This is not a time to stay stuck. We are letting this Saturn opposition, this Saturn Kazimi on Wednesday and into the Thursday eclipse. Let us identify what isn't working. Where are we stuck? I'm not going to be sentimental.

I'm not going to be attached to things that don't work on a deeply personal level and on a global, societal and collective level. Doesn't work. Let's find the thing that does. Let's just get to what works and what functions and what feeds us all and keeps the whole thing running and humming. You know, like when a beehive is just like doing its thing, it's like there's so much life and activity and creativity and honey and so good. That's what Virgo wants. It wants everything to work

because when things work, they're phenomenal. That's nature. Nature is just this absolutely magical but not scientifically accurate, astute, elegant system of life organizing itself. that's Virgo at its peak, at its best. God's willing, we want that for ourselves. And we use this eclipse to start to integrate it in. This eclipse is also sitting in opposition with Neptune, again, the feeling of like the wholeness. The whole has to work for everybody in order for the parts and the whole and the specifics and the gestalt. And it's also making a sexile to Uranus. On Friday, the sun and Uranus make an exact sex style. It's just folded into this eclipse. So I do want to say there's something very important also happening with this eclipse, which is like, okay,

this thing is scrutiny here. This doesn't work. It doesn't function. We got to let this go. Let's invent it in this way. Uranus here in a supportive sex style is saying, let's get experimental. Why not? What do we have to lose? Literally, honestly, tell me, what do we have to lose at this point? let's get experimental. Let's try something new. And then on Friday, Mercury Station's retrograde. And basically, Mercury and Venus are just like retrograding with each other. They're like two little pigeons following each other down into the underworld to be like, whoa, those are some deep truths because both of those retrogrades are connected to underworld myths and journeys. And we could think of them symbolically. And so Venus and Mercury are now going down together and they're going to

get us to the point that we need to get to, to unearth something so central and specific and important about collectively how we come together and work through this moment. Again, this is a time to be loud and to be effective. So we don't always have to be like super loud every day, but where are we being loud, where are we being demonstrative, where are we being dramatic, where are we like channeling our creative flare because that's a Venus and Ares kind of signature. And now that Mercury has joined that Venus moment and the retrograde, it's like, okay, let's go back into the vault and get that amazing costume, that script, that chant that, I don't know, I'll see you at the rally in my finest, in my brightest, in my most evocative.

and it's good to think about what we can return to that worked in the past and bring it forward into the future in a revitalized, updated kind of way. All right, y'all, on the day of the eclipse, please take it easy. Please take it easy on Thursday. It's a South Node Eclipse. We want to be in the shedding thing. We don't want to be like all, you know, wound up if we don't have to be and overdoing things if we don't have to be, right? Sometimes life calls for that, but not always. So especially Thursday,

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, like, let's be cognizant of what we need to let go of and then therefore what we need to refill or fuel up on because we can't just be in a process of letting go all the time. We have to balance it with filling back up. So lunar eclipse, watch your dreams, take note of what happens on the kind of like unconscious or on the myth. or on the level of your own psyche, like what symbols, dreams are speaking to you, what are you coming to understand? Does not work. How can you be like, okay, I'm not going to be sentimental about this?

It doesn't work. I'll be kind. But I'm not going to keep holding on to something that's gone. It's telling me it's broken. No more. Let's move into something new together. So to help you get through all of this to help you make the most of it to help you on your eclipse journey, on your Venus retrograde journey,

on your Mercury retrograde journey. I even said that wrong. Hello, Mercury retrograde journey to prepare for the next eclipse that's coming and Neptune into Aries. There's just so much going on.

So now we come to this segment of the show, which is the Ask Me Anything, where I answer the questions that you leave below. If you're watching this on YouTube, you can leave a question below. We can write a question into us. Recently, I got a question about the elements that I wanted to answer. So if you're new here, welcome. I want to answer your questions about astrology so that you can engage with this gorgeous, beautiful ancient tradition. in a really practical way. This week's question is about the elements. What are they?

Why should I care? So we've got four elements in astrology. We've got air, fire, water, and earth. Now, certain planets do better in certain elements. That's kind of like level one. Actually, level one is really what are the meanings of the elements? How do they self-express? So Earth is very practical. Any planet that is in an Earth sign is wanting to do something that is

practical and productive and realistic. It's Earth. We want to be able to get our hands dirty and do something in a way that's going to shape the thing that we're working on in real time. So Earth signs tend to be a little bit more reality focused and centric. It's not about fantasy and it's not about the concept of something. It's about what can I actually do with this. So if you have a planet or your ascendant or your midheaven in Earth, that's the part of you or anything in an Earth sign. that's where you want to focus on doing things that are super practical.

So say your Venus is in an Earth sign. Then you want to show your love and affection, most likely, in really practical, productive ways. You'll probably get noticed or get attention for the ways in which you're able to be consistent and reliable. Earth signs tend to be consistent, hardworking, reliable, productive, practical, and based in a kind of constructive reality. What can we do with what we've got right now?

There's other parts of us that want to do future things. There's other parts of us that know all the other things. But the Earth element, planets, and points in Earth signs know how to manifest something through consistency and application of effort. It's really simple, but I think the hardest thing to do for humans is to be consistent. And earth signs know everyday practical consistency. And anything in an earth sign in your chart is where you can lean in to that wisdom and manifest so much. And then we've got water. The water element is, is connective. It is receptive. It is reflective. It is feeling, of course, right? It is deep emotions.

It is history. It is memory and it is mystery. When you have planets or points in water, these are the places that, yes, are going to make you way more emo and sensi. And they're also the parts that are going to be really alluring to other people because anything in a water sign again, is not going to like give everything up right away. Water signs move in ways that are a little bit more mysterious, a little bit more ethereal in a way, or a little bit more silent. Water signs aren't loud. Fire signs are loud. Water signs are like the water. It's not like there's no noise, but there is a way in which there's a soothing quality to them. So there's a lot about care, and nurturance and compassion and understanding the depth of feeling.

So anything that you've got in a water sign in your chart is where you're going to connect to people in the one place that people want to be connected to. People want to know that you feel them, that you understand how they feel. It is the superpower of water signs. is my ability to listen to you and receive you and reflect you. Water is porous, right? It can receive and it also shimmers and shines and reflects. It is our first, you know, mirror in the natural world.

So for my ability to listen to you, feel you, reflect you back to yourself is going to be a major point of connection. and that is the power of water. Fire signs are flashy and they are loud and they get attention. They are startling. They are creative. They are inspired. And they take action.

Fire signs need to take action. So anything that you've got in a fire sign, that's where you need to move into action. That's where you need to be able to catapult yourself at a moment's notice because you're inspired to do so. And it is the very act of creation. We could say like all life starts in water. It starts in the waters of the womb. And that is very true. So there's a lot about the life-giving principle of water. And of course, anything that comes into physical form is earth. But the creative spark that moves through all of life is fire. And it is anything we've got in a fire sign is like the part of us that just knows how to move with the, I've got an idea.

I'm going to go, right? It is the being inspired, in spirit. And so fire signs need to be free. They just need to move. They need to be free. They need to be loud. They need to get attention. They need to not be shamed for it. It is the superpower of the fire sign. I think because we live in a society that that loves extroversion. I don't have to really go into this or over explain it because we all know, like extroverts and people that are really good at performing, get all the accolades and the attention. They also get all the grief and they get built up and they get taken down.

And it's like that theater that humans love and that, again, social media makes even into a bigger circus than it's ever been or needs to ever be. But we know that the people that get our attention, get our attention and they get power and they get money and they get taken down and they get grief and they get all of it right but that's the fire that's the fire in somebody's chart or that's the fire of the spirit and then air is about communication it is what i'm doing right now it's the talking it's the the conceptualization it's the ability to think through things it's the ability to understand the segments of information and to be able to categorize things and to be able to

able to understand what the structure of something is, to be able to organize it, to be able to illuminate it through words, through how we construct our ideas. It is the ability to connect to others because of how we articulate something. You know those people you listen to and you're like, wow, you are so smart. It's not necessarily that they get you on the feeling level. It's not even necessarily that they're moving you creatively or because of their creativity. It's that they are able to take in all the information, compute it all, integrate it all, and then give it back to you in the exact way that you need it in order to understand it. Any brilliant teacher is going to be able to do this. So the magic of air is our ability to articulate. It's our ability to gossip.

It's our ability to make a meme. It's our ability to write a thesis. It's our ability to have the perfect clapback. It's our ability to have the exact right words. It's our ability to be clear thinking and concise so that people get the information that they need. And that is the beauty of an air sign. So most of us, well, all of us have every sign in our chart, right? We are all, all the elements, all the signs. It's just that we have an emphasis on certain signs and certain elements in our chart because of where the planets were when we were born. So pull up your chart in the Chani app and just take a look and see like how many fire signs do I have. How many air signs? How many water signs? How many earth signs? The fire signs are Aries Leo Saj. The earth signs are

Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. The water signs are cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. And then the air signs are Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. And just go through. through and see like what do I have the most of what do I have the least of and most of you will be like kind of a balanced mix of all of them and so then you can go in and really understand like oh well where where am I creatively most connected where am I emotionally most connected or where am I able to like build in a really real way how am I able to manifest how am I able to manifest how am I able to articulate myself and just kind of like notice like what planets are doing that element for you. And then of course your big three are super important, your sun, your moon and you're rising.

What elements are they? And if you have like a dominant element, then you'll kind of notice like yeah, I do have that. I do lead with that thing. And then to note that like water and earth are buddies and air and fire are buddies. And then. the way the others mix can be always interesting. It's always, there's always a relation, you know, there's always something we can talk about about the mix of like water and fire. It makes steam. Water does put fire out, but it doesn't have to be that only. And then like earth and air, yeah, it can create a dust bowl, but we also need the soil, soil, the soil and the soil to be aerated. Right? So there's different ways that these things go together. But obviously, like,

earth and water are a gorgeous combo because the earth, when it can receive the water, the water can nourish the earth and the two things go together. Fire needs air. So the fan that feeds the flames kind of vibe. So you'll notice when those combos are happening in your chart or in your relationships, they feel maybe a little easier than the other ones. But the other ones are still interesting. It's all about how it goes together in our weird, human, flawed, gorgeous form. Okay, y'all, I will see you back here next week, and we will talk about the very important Venus. Kazimi, the Venus and the Sun meetup that's happening on the 22nd of March.

Key, key ingredient to the Venus uprisings. I mean the Venus retrograde. Let's see how it all unfolds. I believe in us. I believe in us. I believe in us. I believe in us. We can do this. We can do this. We can do this. There's more of us and there is of them. It's just the truth. So I will see you back here then. Until then, take good care. We're in an eclipse week. Venus is already retrograde. Mercury is going retrograde. Don't fear the astrology. See how you can work with it. When things are wobbly and going different and being like, acting up in all sorts of ways. Yes, it can be frustrating. But when everything's going sideways, there's a lot of openings for us to be like, huh, I bet I could get this through right now, or I bet I could get through that door. I bet I could do something I can't usually do because it's usually all set up like so. But now everything's a little adjacent or a little ajar. And so what can I do to work with this moment to get the things through that I need to. And just double, triple check your data. Please, please, please, please, please. Bye for now.
