VIRGO-PISCES ECLIPSE SPECIAL (featuring a Uranian deep dive).
The month of September is host to two eclipses on the Virgo-Pisces axis. The day before the first eclipse, Uranus stations before going retrograde. In this episode, Cory draws the experiential parallels between eclipses and Uranus transits. Mandee Sheeler joins Cory to talk about their personal Uranus transits, and reflect on its recent ingress into Gemini.

WARNING: in true Uranian fashion, we have some uncoordinated audio in a few parts of this episode. Just as Cory remarks on the way Uranus rx can be too loud or too quiet, Mandee’s audio is a little louder than hers, and it might be SURPRISING. Mandee chimes in a few times, but this ep is mostly Cory monologuing. Just trying to keep you on your toes.

...And, a reminder during this highly emotional month—the planets don’t make things happen. They give context for parts of different cycles that we’re in. No ambulance-chasing astrology here!

Topics covered in this episode:
 The paradox of Uranus and the sign of Gemini
 How our morality, ethics, and belief systems are rarely, purely objective and how
they’re tied to deeply subjective emotional patterns.
 What eclipses have in common with Uranus transits
 Outer/Inner planet retrogrades
 False dichotomies, and how two conflicting things can both be true
 Freedom, Liberation, and Accountability
 Tips for working with Uranian/Eclipse energy
 Presence and situational awareness vs. projection
 Nervous system regulation + nervous system capacity expansion
 Trauma, embodiment, and somatics
 Echo chambers vs. true engagement + cross-pollination
 How the south node augments Virgo
 Astro 101: Uranus in Gemini + September’s eclipses

Reality is shaped by our tacit and explicit agreements. Our social systems, codes and organizational constructs only exist because they’re agreed upon. To a large degree, if we experience it, we’re cooperating with it. There is so much creative power, collectively and individually—interpersonally and socially, in owning our decisions about what we agree to. But, deciding well means understanding how we contribute to the narratives of morality and logic. Narratives don’t exist in a solid state; if someone changes their mind about something—poof, that story is gone or altered. There’s so much power in that. I think this month’s astrology is largely about what we do with that power. Venus is the planet of agreements and consensus. It goes retrograde on March 1 st. March starts off with bang and continues to bang around for its entirety—and ends with a big bang. That’s a lot of banging. Take that as you will. Venus stationing retrograde in Aries does not mean that love turns to hate and that we’ll all end up in a barroom brawl—not necessarily. It does mean that we’re embarking on a process of reevaluating of what we’re drawn to and how we connect. We may be preoccupied with the relationships we’re in, changing aesthetic and sensual tastes, questions surrounding what’s worth our time and energy, and shifts in values. Venus in Aries is already edgy, once retrograde, she cares even less about decorum.

March also introduces 2 eclipses, Mercury’s retrograde, the spring equinox and Neptune’s first ingress into Aries. March is a game-changer, and a continuation of deepening activity across the Aries-Pisces border.

Discussed in this episode:

Living with limits on clarity.

The breakdown of unifying narratives, attempts to control narratives, and trying to restore old ones.

How important is it to “protect my peace” in the quest for change?

Aries and Pisces as expressed through the TV show Cobra Kai and the film The Karate Kid
