This week we will be exploring the Sun/Saturn conjunction that culminates at 27 degrees of Aquarius on February 16th. Themes of shame, disillusionment, futility, maturity and perseverance will be explored in the natal chart and in transit. Other things covered were discarding gendered expectations, legacies of families, dealing with haters, and an unrelenting pursuit of what we deem important. This episode features an excerpt from a client reading back in July in which they possessed a natal Sun-Saturn conjunction. The client was also experiencing a Sun-Saturn sub period of a Sun decennial AND experiencing Sun-Saturn conjunction in their 2022-2023 Saturn Return. We will then go through chart examples, I'll share personal experiences in my own Saturn decennial as well as transiting Sun-Saturn; and close out with general horoscopes to examine this in your chart.  Subscribe to my Substack Checkout black speculative astrology on Instagram @blackspeculative astrology Read my latest piece on Earth in Color entitled Re-earthing Through Plant and Animal Medicine Symbols Follow me on Instagram and Twitter: @youwomanyou To book a reading click here! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/youwomanyou/message

Back in December, we experienced the Great Conjunction (between Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius) which initiated the Age of Air. This week I am joined by astrologer, medium and trauma-informed peer support specialist Elmina Bell. In Elmina's words "The age of air is an age where mediation and relationship become our allies for the embodied change we are seeking.  We talk about how this age, Saturn in Aquarius and other astrological transits help us shift the way we relate. Using indigenous, specifically African-centered frameworks, Elmina talks about allowing Spirit to be the driver of relationships. We also discussing some of the difficult parts of community building, cancel culture and celebrity worship.   Mentioned in this episode: All resources mentioned can be found here.

Sagittarius season is about belief and expansion. In this episode we will cover the 4 major lunar phases during this season. There is a special focus on the Lunar Eclipse on Nov 30th and Solar Eclipse on Dec 14, as well as the struggles illuminated by the quarter moons that anchor them. We will explore creation myths & cultural cosmologies and how they clash and co-exist in our world. How we can use what we know of our own cultural cosmologies to release dogmatic ways of existing in the world to move towards personal and collective freedom.  Our roots are not just in the ground, they also emerge from the sky.  Things Mentioned in This Episode:  Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer  Something Torn and New: An African Renaissance by Ngugi wa Thiong'o  Stellar Connections: Explorations in Cultural Astronomy - Pt. 4, Babatunde Lawal on Youtube  Black Panther, film directed by Ryan Coogler Black Power Tarot by King Khan - The Wheel of Fortune  Philip Cohran and the Artistic Heritage Ensemble - El Hajj Malik Shabazz - 1968 - Tribute to Malcolm X  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/youwomanyou/message
