Yesterday's thunder was Mercury Retrograde (hear yesterday's episode if you want to her my somewhat warped perspective on Mercury Retrograde) but today let's talk about Mars in Capricorn. He snuck in yesterday morning while we were all talking about Mercury (poor thing), but he's happy in Cappie because that is his sign of exaltation. What does that mean, and how can we use this new stellium in Capricorn to take our soul-work to a deeper level? Feb 17 - Transcription [00:00:00] It's Monday. Monday. Good morning. Good midday. Good afternoon. Good evening. Whenever you're catching this. Thomas Miller. Thanks for joining us on the fun astrology podcast. Kicking off Monday, February 17th with Mars in Capricorn. Now, actually, this happened yesterday, but the big thunder yesterday was of course, mercury retrograde. [00:00:24] It is back in effect and we covered that in depth. Yesterday in the dedicated the entire podcast to it with my somewhat awkward and unique perspective on mercury retrograde. You can catch that. What's kind of funny is right after I released the podcast, I started working on an audio book for Fred Dodson, and I had more. [00:00:45] I now look, I have done 27 audio books for Fred, and I've done about another 27 or 34 other people. So I've got my 10,000 hours behind the microphone doing audio books. I have never had problems like I did yesterday, and it wasn't even in retro grade yesterday, during the day when I was doing this, this was in the morning. [00:01:07] So, I don't know. I was just, by noon I was exhausted. But anyway. we'll see how this one goes. It's in Pisces. Okay. Mars in Capricorn. Let's stay there for this one. That's going to be shorter than what I've done over the weekend because really, we're looking at a couple of big things this week, not only Mars and Capricorn. [00:01:27] We'll talk about that. Tomorrow. The sun moves into Pisces. Now it's not until 11:50 PM so technically, I guess we could say that today and tomorrow are the last two days of Aquarian season, and then we move into Pisces. Actually, I'm really looking forward to this just for my own charts sake. So, we'll talk about that tomorrow as the sun moves in. [00:01:55] We'll do our little Pisces feature. Love Pisces. Pisces is a great [00:02:00] sign. Good water sign. Okay. Let's talk about fire and earth. Mars, the fire reest Oh, there's another fire element in the chart right now too. And that is the moon in Sagittarius. It will be there. The rest of today. It moves into Capricorn early tomorrow. [00:02:20] So here's this moan transiting through fire and Mars just coming out of fire into Capricorn. And there are still, I mean, this is one of the most aspect of charts you could have. Everything has an aspect right now, the way that the Capricorn stellium is and the moon, just the whole positioning of the sun coming out of Aquarius, going into Pisces. [00:02:47] You've got mercury and Neptune and Pisces, and then just over, you have Kyron and Venus in Aries. So it's just the way the whole chart lays out right now is aspect and everything else. So if you have felt a little stirred up over the last about 48 hours, that's kind of what's been the reflection in the middle of the chart with all these aspects. [00:03:10] So let's just recount the Capricorn stellium. So now we have Mars at zero degrees, just broke in the South node is at seven degrees. Jupiter is at 17 now. Pluto is at 23 and Saturn is at 26 so this team is in the Capricorn court until the third week of March. So it's either the 21st or 22nd I can't remember the exact time there, but that's when Saturn moves into Aquarius. [00:03:41] That itself is going to be an interesting little time period because Mars will just about be sitting right on top of Pluto. So, Ooh. Now, one of the things about Mars being in Capricorn, this is an interesting pairing because Mars is actually [00:04:00] exalted in Capricorn. Now this is interesting because that means Mars is in depression an
