Venus Jupiter Conjuncts Are Good for New Things

In episode 381 we present our year ahead astrology forecast for 2023, with astrologers Chris Brennan, Austin Coppock, Leisa Schaim, and Diana Rose Harper. At the beginning of the episode we give a big picture view of some of the major transits happening next year, such as Mars finishing its retrograde in Gemini, Saturn moving into Pisces, Pluto moving into Aquarius, a Venus retrograde in Leo, and eclipses moving from the Taurus-Scorpio axis to the Aries-Libra axis. Some of the themes we talked about were the emergence of AI (artificial intelligence) with Saturn finishing its transit through Aquarius and Pluto getting ready to start a 20 year transit through that sign, as well as the escape to the imaginal realm with Saturn entering Pisces and beginning a long sign-based conjunction with Neptune. In the second half of the show we go through a quarter by quarter and month by month breakdown of 2023, discussing in more detail some of the quicker astrological transits next year, such as the fact that the three main Mercury retrograde periods will all occur in earth signs. There are timestamps below for when we talk about different alignments and parts of the year. This episode is available in both audio and video versions below.
