Transcript:
00:00:00:07 – 00:00:09:08
Unknown
Hello everybody. Welcome back to the Astrology Hub podcast. My name is Laura. I'm an astrologer head of operations here at Astrology Hub and your host for today's show.
00:00:09:10 – 00:00:31:10
Unknown
We have a great show for you today with one of Astrology Hub's favorite teachers, Gemini Brett, who's an astronomer, astrologer, and cosmic storyteller in today's episode, you'll learn why Brett calls this moment in time. We're in the path of the infinite and why it's important to prepare us for 2026. If you know Brett, you know that his grounded advice is invaluable as we move through these cosmic pathways.
00:00:31:16 – 00:00:34:04
Unknown
So without further ado, I hope you enjoyed the episode.
00:00:34:10 – 00:00:51:18
Unknown
All right. Brett, so let's dive right in, because I know there's a lot that we can talk about, starting with the Sagittarius lunation, because you'll actually be our guide. Our teacher in the inner circle during this moon cycle. So this moon cycle starts on December 19th and ends on January 18th with. With the next new moon of Capricorn.
00:00:51:20 – 00:00:58:11
Unknown
So what are you seeing as the main invitation for this moon cycle as you see it right now?
00:00:58:13 – 00:01:10:23
Unknown
Flannels. I recently discovered that while I thought the flannel was the moon's territory alone, that there's something very Jupiter hidden in the flannel,
00:01:11:00 – 00:01:23:07
Unknown
like it keeps you warm for the long journey, which we might feel in the sagittarian design, in a way, in the Pisces place. Traditionally associated with the Jupiter. We might care a little bit less.
00:01:23:09 – 00:01:51:00
Unknown
But Jupiter, where, you know, Jupiter reigns now from the place where traditionally Jupiter was said to be an honored guests or exalted in the sign of cancer. So he really wants us to be comfortable. So I might just be justifying the outfit that I showed up, and I think moving the shirt way too much. But I'm not going to, title this journey in the inner circle of Astrology Hub for our Sagittarius lunation.
00:01:51:02 – 00:02:20:13
Unknown
The flannel. That's ridiculous. What came in for me? Like, quite clearly, was this upon the path of the infinite. And I was listening a lot to, The Planets by Gustav Holst. I've been listening to a lot recently, and the Jupiter song is called Jupiter. The Bringer of Jollity, which I really loved, of course, at this time of the year.
00:02:20:14 – 00:02:22:20
Unknown
I didn't even know jollity was a word.
00:02:22:22 – 00:02:31:23
Unknown
So it's really like tuning into that. The beauty of joy. And for some time, I was considering the path of joy is
00:02:32:00 – 00:03:06:18
Unknown
the way to describe this. But spending time there was like with joy is not a destination. It's like a choice where you can stay joyous along the way. And then I just happened across one of my favorite poems ever written, which felt really relevant for this particular lunation, because this Sagittarius New Moon, which meets in a very late degree, will in a sense flower in the full moon, in cancer.
00:03:06:20 – 00:03:26:21
Unknown
Right. And you've seen how this works, that we don't always get the full moon in the sign opposite that of the new moon. You either get that or you get the moon that follows the sign that opposes the sign that hosts the new moon. Right. And that's the case here. So Sagittarius in cancer. So really spending some time there.
00:03:27:00 – 00:03:58:08
Unknown
So anyway, the poem is on Children by Kahlil Gibran from The Prophet, which just moves me to tears every time. And that's going to be featured in this lunation journey as well. It's something I encourage people to tune into to, to read and really be with. And if you're a parent like I am now, I encourage you to read it not only through the eyes of being a parent, which can be challenging, but also through the eyes of being a child,
00:03:58:10 – 00:04:06:09
Unknown
which might bring some relief to you because, you know, there's the first line is your children are not your children.
00:04:06:11 – 00:04:14:22
Unknown
They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself, which is this amazing thing to consider.
00:04:14:24 – 00:04:32:17
Unknown
And for those of us on this path. Right. And so this is a line from on children by Kahlil Gibran upon the path of the infinite. And for those of us who have been called as mystics, seekers, like so much of this is in that kind of Jupiter, in the sagittarian way.
00:04:32:23 – 00:04:56:09
Unknown
We tend to go on our own, cause that seems very different than the course that was presented to us, is the way you're supposed to go, right? I mean, most mystics will share a common experience of feeling, at least at a time, as outsider. Right? And so Sagittarius inspires this quest, and you know, that can be a very challenging thing.
00:04:56:09 – 00:05:25:09
Unknown
And it's interesting to see in a sense that that call of the Sagittarius New Moon, the response is a cancer full moon. Right. And those two signs, Sagittarius and Cancer, said to be quincunx, are said to be in conjunct. According to the ancients, they are blind to one another. Right. And if you just think about taking the quest, which is the Sagittarius journey, you have to leave home, right?
00:05:25:09 – 00:05:39:24
Unknown
Like Sagittarius in cancer, kind of like they kind of don't go right. Or if you all about home and family and some of us have those commitments now, we can't go take the journey. I used to just travel around teaching the stars and it's like, now I'm with my baby,
00:05:40:01 – 00:05:43:04
Unknown
right? So cancer and Sagittarius sometimes feel at odds.
00:05:43:04 – 00:05:45:14
Unknown
Part of the gift of this lunation
00:05:45:16 – 00:06:19:08
Unknown
will help us see you know where though maybe we can't see with our eyes, with our eyes closed, we find where these great energies meet. And some of that is knowing that the path of the mystic, the the path of the infinite, does not need to be lonely. There will be a time, typically, where we're journeying away from, I don't know the culture that we came up in, or the family or the home or whatever it may be, and sometimes that promotes a aloneness like, oh, am I the only one?
00:06:19:10 – 00:06:47:00
Unknown
Why is everybody weird? Maybe I'm weird. Whatever, right? But then we come together and fellowship and soul family and tribe. And that's such a gift of Astrology Hub and the inner circle. We really get to connect with other mystics upon the path of the infinite. Right? So you'll see here this image of the road leading to Galactic Center.
00:06:47:02 – 00:07:16:04
Unknown
Now, this new moon is the worst time to try to see the center of the Milky Way with your eyes. Because one of the amazing things about the Sagittarius New moon coming soon to a theater called you. Is that it is conjunct the Galactic center. This place let me rewind of just great mystery with the Milky Way band.
00:07:16:04 – 00:07:47:18
Unknown
It's believed that at its heart to the sun of our sun, that which our own star and all of the stars of the Milky Way are themselves orbiting. Right? That there is a supermassive black hole, right? This place of great mystery and just billions of stars. It's like so much concentration. If you ever get away from the bright city lights in, especially on the other side of the year, when the sun is not in the serpent's mouth, I'll speak a little bit more about that.
00:07:47:22 – 00:08:11:03
Unknown
But on the other side. And so Galactic Center rises at sunset and is on high in the middle of the night. You just know that the river of stars, the Milky Way band, is just the most magical, mystical, kind of fuzzy, amazing thing. And like Sagittarius, which I always expresses, the smoke that rises from the fire, travels far and wide, takes its own path to the infinite.
00:08:11:03 – 00:08:36:12
Unknown
You know, there's something about this in the Milky Way band. And when you get to know this place of the heavens that, many of course saw is just this mystical gateway for for the Maya entrance that she Baba Bay to the underworld is so magical, right. That it does show this place where the the the serpent that that embraces us, right?
00:08:36:12 – 00:09:04:17
Unknown
Bites its own tail, the orb or us. And so this, new moon will be right there at the galactic core. And of course, that means it will not be seen, for the sun is the one of the visible planets, which means wandering star that will never reveal the constellation. It is currently traveling through. Right. So why the original Zodiacs?
00:09:04:17 – 00:09:37:05
Unknown
And we're going to speak about this a bit in my mastery class. We're lunar because we can watch the moon move through the stars right in the sun, try to find the stars behind the sun and you will go blind. It is a great source of mystery, right? And that's something I always want to remind us of. To get outside with our feet on the ground, connecting in a embodied way to the heavenly happenings that these charts are maps of the soul, but they're also maps of the sky in real time.
00:09:37:05 – 00:10:03:02
Unknown
And when we get out and reconnect to the measurable side of our cosmic craft, to the to the astronomy right, it brings so much more experience and a voice to the immeasurable, to the correspondences. So this is the worst time of the year to see Galactic Center, because the sun is moving through there kind of
00:10:03:04 – 00:10:12:15
Unknown
there's strong images that we clearly see in the aspect lines of this chart, which speak about the conversations between the the actors, if you will.
00:10:12:17 – 00:10:35:09
Unknown
So, for example, we see Venus also in Sagittarius at the time of this new moon. We see Mars just on the other side of that course, right in Capricorn, there's a strong square between the new moon and Saturn and Neptune in Pisces.
00:10:35:11 – 00:11:04:16
Unknown
That's square. I mean, even stronger, like the Venus, Saturn square, right? Or the moon sun square with Neptune. But generally speaking, when we look at Sagittarius in Pisces and we entertain this idea of why would they square off? Like usually the squares which activate and bring opportunity for great change and growth. You know, they usually demand some kind of response because they are tense, right?
00:11:04:16 – 00:11:46:16
Unknown
Why are these places tense and we might explore then Sagittarius fire versus Pisces water. But traditionally these are both Jupiter Ian and I really try to avoid teaching signs through the northern hemisphere. Seasonal experience alone, you know, act locally, but think globally or be globally, right. But if we do consider it from that regard, it's interesting to know that Sagittarius like it's before the cold months Saturn signs when the sun travels through Capricorn and Aquarius and then Pisces is here comes the sun and you made it through.
00:11:46:16 – 00:12:11:14
Unknown
So there's something about coming out of the winter cave, and you survived in these beautiful things, you know, in Sagittarius, in a way. And there's something about like the fire, like stay warm and maybe even align with whatever. We'll see you through. Chant a song, whatever it is for you, you know. And Jupiter may be giving us some encouragement that it's okay to journey.
00:12:11:16 – 00:12:47:16
Unknown
You'll be guided, you know, have some faith. But I think in these squares we really get to look at that word. Is faith something that you were told to believe and then you're never going to seek because you already know, but you don't, right? You know what you've been told. So I often like to say seeking is not believing, and that sometimes can speak to the strength of this square between Sagittarius in Pisces that's so clearly activated at the time of this new moon.
00:12:47:18 – 00:13:27:00
Unknown
And I'll be diving deep there in the inner circle transmission and bringing some soul work assignments that will help us look at our beliefs, and even breaking out of some of the limitations of our beliefs or the beliefs that we just took on faith. Right? But I hesitate to use that word there, because for me, it's like when you do have the journey and you have this experience and you're initiated in the cave to use the language of some traditions, and you find the elixir there right when you come back, you have this thing that you can't show because it can't be seen, but it is known, and it's going to be different for
00:13:27:00 – 00:13:57:00
Unknown
you than it is for me. So I define faith as in things that we found to be true, even though we can't show them to another. But we might, you know, be way finders and way showers. Right. So students of mine will often hear, like, I can't tell you what you're going to find in the temple, but I can give you a few of these different techniques or approaches that will help you forge the key that will unlock the door.
00:13:57:00 – 00:14:23:10
Unknown
But what you find there is yours and yours alone, for your temple is yours, and mine is mine. And you know, it's hard to speak about these mysteries without sounding like a dolt is. Maybe I just did, you know. But for me, that's part of this Sagittarius Pisces Square. And when we consider those signs as Jupiter, we can look at Jupiter here in cancer.
00:14:23:12 – 00:14:49:13
Unknown
And we find as much as there's a square with the Pisces planet with Sagittarius. Right. Even, you know, there's a third, right? Mercury in Sagittarius at the heart of the scorpion Antares. Squaring the lunar nodes. The North Node in Pisces. Right. So there's a lot of squares between Sagittarius and Pisces. But then we also find these trines I always address, charts musically.
00:14:49:15 – 00:15:20:09
Unknown
And in the square I hear this tension. And in the trines I hear release. Well, when we write good music, we intentionally design tension, right? If you're just in the release consonance place all the time, it's it's easy to fall asleep. You know it, it's hard to wake up. And we really want to bring that tension. And then you get to feel that amazing bliss of relief and everybody listening to this knows what I'm talking about.
00:15:20:09 – 00:15:39:03
Unknown
You've had it in your own life. You're in one on one foot in one of those pools right now and one in the other, likely. Right. So we see these strong squares and we also see these trines between Pisces and Cancer. And it might be that some of the belief systems are really rooted in the family structure in the youth.
00:15:39:05 – 00:16:00:08
Unknown
Right. Because I'm looking at cancer, where Jupiter is now in a we call a mutual reception between Jupiter and the moon at this new moon times. Sagittarius moon hanging out in Jupiter's place with Jupiter in the moon's realm of cancer. Right? So there's kind of a foreign exchange program going on in a way, to open a gateway between these signs, which are invisible to one another.
00:16:00:08 – 00:16:08:15
Unknown
That's a very powerful part of this, too. But generally speaking, again, like for us to go Sagittarius, you kind of can't cancer
00:16:08:17 – 00:16:14:09
Unknown
or Taurus. So I don't want to spend forever on this chart and all the things I'll be sharing in
00:16:14:09 – 00:16:21:10
Unknown
the inner circle. But look at this. It's kind of loose by auras with this, like a yod with the Sagittarius team.
00:16:21:12 – 00:16:40:14
Unknown
There, right at, at this apex of a yard with Torrens Uranus in Taurus and Cancer Jupiter. And this is just like a really wonderful place to teach the weirdness of the quincunx in general. I often share it in this way. It's glamping,
00:16:40:16 – 00:16:50:07
Unknown
right? You want to be comfortable, you know, and warm. You want like, have your stuff, you know, but you also want to go far away,
00:16:50:09 – 00:16:51:01
Unknown
right?
00:16:51:03 – 00:17:15:02
Unknown
But you're not really doing your Sagittarius journey, and you're also in some weird, you're not feeling at home cancer or a comfortable Taurus, right? I mean, depending on the year that you can access, not me. Right. So it's just it's really weird and that one of the vehicles I'll be using in the inner circle, in fact, if you're in the inner circle, I really encourage you to start listening to this song now.
00:17:15:04 – 00:17:41:06
Unknown
And for everyone. It's a really wonderful song, I think clearly speaks to the energies that are happening in this lunation. The Sagittarius Cancer Lunation to come. And it's a song from The Rings of Power, the Lord of the rings kind of prequel series that have been shown on Prime Video in recent years, whether you like them or not.
00:17:41:06 – 00:17:46:13
Unknown
I love the song. My wonderful partner Scorpion does not, and she's heard
00:17:46:13 – 00:17:54:11
Unknown
way too much of it lately because I found it. It's a really good vehicle for me and my intention to open my ears and voice right now to.
00:17:54:13 – 00:18:04:21
Unknown
But the song is called This Wandering Day, and again, it's from The Rings of Power. It's beautiful.
00:18:04:21 – 00:18:32:04
Unknown
One of them. It's for me. It's such a wonderful lyric, which is I trade all I've known for the unknown ahead and says, call to me, call to me lands far away. For I must now wander this wandering day. And it speaks interesting kind of about cancer, because there's this whole, like, nomadic tribe of folk who are journeying from one place to the next place they need to go.
00:18:32:04 – 00:19:07:08
Unknown
So I really feel it's energy in this chart, and there's so much in it, including that, yeah, there's a lyric that's no rest nor comfort, no comfort, but song. And there's a little bit of that in this Sagittarius Galactic centered full moon right at this apex of this yard. All right. Well, so we might be up against our own belief systems and familiar belief systems, and one that I find myself up against consistently around this time of the year is the whole 13th sign
00:19:07:10 – 00:19:21:06
Unknown
thing that I'm sure has also come your way, dear listener, because you too are a mystic who has been called to the starry stories and our.
00:19:21:08 – 00:20:04:14
Unknown
Celestial science. All right, so this brings me to the mastery class that I'll be offering during this Sagittarius Lunation and the Inner Circle, which is going to be amazing. And it's also about being on path and it's about, parallels and out-of-bounds planets and as they call it, and Tisha and in the class you will see why, if you learn to pronounce that at as the Greeks would anti skier, so understand much more of what it is, because skia is Greek for shadow, and and titians are often described as these shadow points.
00:20:04:14 – 00:20:32:21
Unknown
And folks these days who are so psychologically inclined, which is a beautiful thing often speak to them as like some kind of Jungian shadow. Right? The things that we don't know about us. But really they're talking about put a stick in the ground and measure the length of the shadow. So of course, because I'm so devoted to ending the divorce between astrology and astronomy, you can expect that in my mastery class, there will be some sacred astronomy.
00:20:32:24 – 00:20:58:22
Unknown
But importantly, when we look to this aspect that you see here in the lower right of your screen, like I'm looking at squares and trines and sextile. And by the way, I'm very interested in harmonic aspects in quintiles and other things. Sceptile is that we'll speak about some of that and New Moon and full moon forecast too. But the main thing I want to show you here, and this is the reason why I chose parallels as the main subject of my mastery classes.
00:20:58:24 – 00:21:29:02
Unknown
Look at the parallels, which, if you don't know, are shown by those parallel lines on the upper right side of the aspect grid. So at the time of this new moon, there's this amazing parallel team between the sun, Venus, Mars and Pluto. Like, how is it, what is happening that these planets in Sagittarius, Venus in the sun are connected somehow with Capricorn?
00:21:29:02 – 00:21:55:13
Unknown
Mars on the other side of that wall, and then also with Pluto so far away. Right. Like if you're just looking at aspects with the sun and the moon and galactic center in late Sagittarius and then Pluto there in early Aquarius, like, how are they in any way related? And it requires us to see the sky in a very different way and in a way like the ancients did.
00:21:55:13 – 00:22:26:13
Unknown
So first of all, to speak Ophiuchus, who I love, the serpent tender, right? So many traditions connected Asclepius, the great healer, with this giant one. And the Babylonian tradition. It looks like perhaps constellations that they described as the sitting gods were in that space. We see an interesting image in the den. They're a zodiac from the temple of Hot, or, where these stars are also occupied.
00:22:26:13 – 00:22:54:17
Unknown
And and that great healer kneels on the galactic center, which is marked GC here, but that same place, it's triangulated the arrow of the archer, and it's stinger of the scorpion, along with the knee of Ophiuchus, point to the sun of our sun. This place of great mystery in the Stellarium astronomy software, as we take the atmosphere away so we can actually see the Milky Way band in the stars in the moment, right?
00:22:54:19 – 00:23:15:02
Unknown
But something I really want to bring your attention to, like, well, Venus, who you see to the right of the bright sun there, it's kind of clearly. And a you can star the only one that's on the sun's path, which is shown as this yellow line, this ecliptic, where typically we're focused on in our astrology. Right. Because the planets tend to travel on that path.
00:23:15:04 – 00:23:37:02
Unknown
Notice that the moon is right at the galactic center, like South. Right? And I don't think I'll speak too much about a few guests in the masterclass. Besides this and the beauty of it, I'm definitely a 12 sign guy, and maybe I'll show you why in the master class time. Because I think that this can be a challenging thing.
00:23:37:04 – 00:24:00:14

For folks who are exploring ancient astrology and working with the tropical zodiac, perhaps especially since signs and constellations are both beautiful and important. But also very different things. I just want you to see that the moon is not only like in a few case, it's quite far south of the sun's path. At this time. That is a moon out of bounds.
00:24:00:20 – 00:24:30:11
Unknown
And in fact, in some climes, like I have this cast for Kyoto, Japan, the moon, though we won't see it blinded in the beams of the sun, will actually occult the galactic center or move between Earth and the galactic center at this Sagittarius new Moon time, which will bring in, as I've found from occultations, the hidden secrets of these great sources of celestial power.
00:24:30:17 – 00:25:07:05
Unknown
All right, so quickly, what you're seeing here in red are the circles of the higher one is the Tropic of Cancer. And the lower one, because we're looking from the northern hemisphere, the Tropic of Capricorn. Those are the bounds of the sun's path centered around the equator, which you see here in blue. So this moon and I'll highlight the moon's path on this day as well, out of bounds rising further south than the sun ever can, setting further south in the sun ever can.
00:25:07:05 – 00:25:30:06
Unknown
Literally exploring this place. How Sagittarius is this? That the sun can even dream together in the southern hemisphere? That means that moon will culminate at a, altitude lower than the sun ever can. And in this, in the Southern hemisphere, it's gonna be a very, very, very high moon, like the one that I'm experiencing right now with the moon on the other side in cancer.
00:25:30:06 – 00:25:47:20
Unknown
And we will with the full moon in cancer. We're in a time where the moon is going most out of bounds every month. We're really just kind of coming out of that time called the lunar standstill. And that's, a long conversation I had with Amanda here at the Astrology of Podcast. Last time I was on, I encourage you to go check out that episode.
00:25:47:20 – 00:26:05:21
Unknown
So I'll also be speaking about the out of bounds phenomenon when planets are either south of the Tropic of Capricorn or north of the Tropic of Cancer. We're going to see that on the map. We're going to see the Earth astrology event. Like I'll show you that the tropical zodiac is not symbolic. It is very real. And it's all about the Earth.
00:26:05:23 – 00:26:34:05
Unknown
And we'll we're exploring parallels between tissue as part of, and out of bounds planets. It's all about this equatorial plane. And by the way, this is as old as it gets. Like there are different lunar mansion traditions that interesting were based upon the equator and back in the Babylonian tradition, like high stuff was seen as different than low stuff or the stuff in between.
00:26:34:05 – 00:27:01:23
Unknown
The two. There is Enlil and our new and inky, zones of the heavens. And so we're going to get to like, go way back into our celestial tradition as we explore the power of these connections for planets. Though they might not be conjunct like the Sun and Pluto at the time of the Sagittarius New Moon, but they're taking the same path through the sky, so hence upon the path of the infinite.
00:27:02:00 – 00:27:24:04
Unknown
When planets are parallel or parallel with stars, they might not be journeying side by side holding hands, but they're taking the same journey. And perhaps if there's a destination when we can get there, we can compare notes of what happened along the way. All right, so finally, just an image of the Sagittarius New Moon, which is so close to the galactic center.
00:27:24:04 – 00:27:51:08
Unknown
And between the Galactic Center and the Galactic Cross. I'll share more about what that is in our inner circle, gathering around the new moon transmission, and then check out the full Moon. It's at the degree or very next to the degree of the brightest star in our sky, Sirius. But you'll learn to see. And this is the importance of that.
00:27:51:08 – 00:28:25:12
Unknown
We learn in the equatorial plane when we learn about parallels and declination. That though that moon is quote unquote conjunct serious, it's also 40 degrees away. So I'm just going to present that as a mystery for us to explore while we're here. Just see that that cancer Full Moon is opposite the sun, of course, but that the sun has planets to embrace on either side.
00:28:25:17 – 00:28:56:23
Unknown
A really amazing thing happens every six and a half years, which is that Mercury and Mars meet behind the sun in the hidden places far from Earth. So this alignment looks like moon, Earth, sun, Venus, Mars. And there's something so powerful in that connection that I'm so excited to explore with you and unfold and experience with you, and talk story with you and hear your tales.
00:28:56:23 – 00:29:03:06
Unknown
And we connect around that in the inner circle upon the path of the infinite.
00:29:03:08 – 00:29:16:20
Unknown
Yeah. So if you're an inner circle member, this is just a glimpse of what we'll be exploring with Brett. We'll go into detail and you'll get this mastery class on the actual New Moon on December 19th. And if you'd like to join us for this, inner circle doors are always open
00:29:16:22 – 00:29:23:00
Unknown
as long as you join before Brett's month is over, you'll get access to that class, sometime in this month.
00:29:23:00 – 00:29:40:20
Unknown
Hopefully. You just saw is going to be extra amazing. There are so many powerful alignments during this cycle, and we're going to get to open to a whole other approach or realm to the celestial. It's not new. It's not like we now can do the math. And so check out these parallels and it must be like a conjunction.
00:29:40:20 – 00:29:46:08
Unknown
So this goes way, way, way, way back. Like before the zodiac.
00:29:46:10 – 00:30:05:03
Unknown
And if you get outside and you just experience the sky, you'll know that like a really, really high moon does a different thing to your heart and soul than one that's low. They're both amazing, you know what I'm saying? So starting to understand that, which is we don't get to see that on the zodiac wheel.
00:30:05:03 – 00:30:17:04
Unknown
It's just a wheel. Right. So we're going to make this thing way more three dimensional. And of course, even though code for we northern hemisphere folks are being encourage you to get outside and have an embodied experience of it all.
00:30:17:06 – 00:30:35:23
Unknown
I did want to mention something, that you said earlier. I have a question because it's something that I've been personally contemplating actually, through organizing the inner circle. Every so often we get these years, right, where the full moon is not the opposite sign of the new moon sign, and it's not like this doesn't just happen one month and then it goes back, right?
00:30:35:23 – 00:30:59:17
Unknown
It happens a succession of months in a row, typically. And so I always I contemplate this from like a symbolic perspective, like what does this mean? Right. When the, the, the sister signs are supposed to kind of balance each other out, so they say. So when that balance isn't there, is it like a year of recalibration or something along those lines like, how do you see that, like larger symbolism of that?
00:30:59:19 – 00:31:36:24
Unknown
Yeah, it's a beautiful question. And my answer will be easier to hear if you like. Laura, I have noticed these things before. And if you just track where like even start with just the new moons this year to next year, right? So if we have a new moon at 28 Sagittarius this year, next year we will have a new moon at 17 Sagittarius in the following year at six Sagittarius.
00:31:37:01 – 00:32:05:12
Unknown
Because what you will see, and this is a general rule. And of course with all things astronomy, they don't obey these specific degrees because orbits are not circles, they are ellipses. But generally you can subtract 11 degrees from New moon this year to find the degree that will host the new moon the following year. Right now, when that gets back to six Sagittarius, whereas the next 125 Scorpio.
00:32:05:14 – 00:32:34:03
Unknown
So these new moons, they're not just like moving through signs, they're moving all the way around the zodiac. There's a really beautiful connection of 33 and 32 and other things and I can get into right now. But there is this amazing precession because, you know, well, some people will tell you there's 13 moon cycles a year. No, it's 12 and a third 12.37.
00:32:34:05 – 00:32:44:08
Unknown
As far as the lunation, the phases of the moon go. And so it's tricky because there's 12 nations in 354 days,
00:32:44:10 – 00:32:55:06
Unknown
and that's about 11 days shy of the solar year, right? Hence that regression or precession or retrograde ation of 11 degrees per year. And this is the challenge
00:32:55:08 – 00:33:02:04
Unknown
for those of us who want to have time cycles aligned through a calendar that does.
00:33:02:04 – 00:33:26:03
Unknown
It's months with the moons, right? So the Hebrew calendar, which came through the Babylonian, the Akkadian or the Chinese lunar calendar, which likes to have new month and new moon time, you had to play some interesting games of leap months because after a year you're off by 11 days, and after 222, after three years, you're off by 33.
00:33:26:03 – 00:33:55:20
Unknown
So leap month. But your leap month is either going to be 29 or 30 days, because to keep the pace of new moon to new moon, which is like 29.5 days, we alternate between 30 and 29, right? So it's a lot to see. But importantly, what you'll see is there's this, precession of the new moons, right? And so if we have a new moon in the early degree of a sign, like in a couple years in 2027, if I did my math right, we'll have a new moon at six degrees.
00:33:55:20 – 00:34:07:12
Unknown
Sagittarius. By the way, I can't say that without going to look, so I'm doing that right now. But yeah, new Moon that year.
00:34:07:14 – 00:34:36:11
Unknown
Will be at 540. Sagittarius. Right. So elevens magic of elevens. Now if you have a new moon at like six degrees Sadge with a full moon like 15 days later. Okay, 14.5 the 14, three quarters days later. Right. So in the sun moves about a degree per day. Right? So if there's a new moon at six degrees, the full moon is going to be about 15 degrees later on the opposite side.
00:34:36:13 – 00:35:05:01
Unknown
Right. So that's like 21 degrees. Right. And that's the case when you have your new moons. Generally speaking, in the first half of a sign, then the full moon that follows will be in the sign opposite. And you get that polarity pairing if you will. Right. So a really wonderful adventure that's endless and amazing is to consider, for example, what is the one thing that Aries and Libra are the two sides of?
00:35:05:03 – 00:35:27:19
Unknown
Or what is the one thing that Taurus and Scorpio are the two sides of? Just as hot and cold are the two sides of a thing called temperature. And by the way, infinite answers for all six of the poles. And if you ask the question like, what is the one thing that Gemini and Sagittarius of the two sides of, you're going to be led to different answers than you will be if you ask that same question in retrograde?
00:35:27:19 – 00:35:51:03
Unknown
What is the one thing that Sagittarius and Gemini are the two sides of? It's magical. Enjoy. That's a lifetime's quest right there. And trust what comes in for you. Okay, but there is something about those polarity pairs that do as you were saying, Laura. Like offer balance. It seems to make sense in the call and response right of like the new moon in the full moon.
00:35:51:05 – 00:36:07:13
Unknown
But what happens when we're crossing the gap now? On one level, it means the new moon is in the last half of a sign. And by the way, in some of the traditions, the two halves of the signs, like there will be a solar half and a lunar half, and there's a lot of interesting place to go play there.
00:36:07:19 – 00:36:28:17
Unknown
You're interesting now like this is this example of a Sagittarius New Moon in a cancer full moon. Now you have fire and water. You have like, you know, the the Yang in the in that kind of seems more magnetic, right? People don't like to say positive and negative signs anymore because it sounds hierarchical or good and bad, especially if you like.
00:36:28:17 – 00:37:03:07
Unknown
The masculine signs are positive and the feminine signs are niga that just sounds like the patriarchy, but we miss actually the potential of a magnetic and electric reality of the zodiac. When we throw away some of this old language thinking that it was just like rude, it might not be. It might actually be technical, like I'm saying. So there's a really interesting thing to know like that these poles have similar charge, so if I use those terms, a positive sign is opposite a positive sign, right?
00:37:03:09 – 00:37:23:05
Unknown
It shouldn't ask me about that one. And I was like, wow, I've never even considered it because I didn't allow myself to use that positive, negative language in my astrology. But now that you mention it, well, like this is why the world goes around. Like if on a on the pole we had a positive and negative on the opposite sides, everything just collapses.
00:37:23:07 – 00:37:45:05
Unknown
Whereas if positive, opposite positive negative or opposite negative, we're always expanding. So that's a great way to remember and keep the faith anyway. And you know, what's happening is your neighbor is of the opposite pole. Right. So like Aries and Taurus or Aries and Pisces and then all you have to do is like start the spin and you have a perpetual magnet motor.
00:37:45:06 – 00:38:06:12
Unknown
This is likely why the world goes round. Okay, so I'm on this long journey as I will be long answers to short questions, but there's actually something quite beautiful about the opportunities when the full moon is in the sign that is not opposite that of the new moon, but in the following sign. And in a sense, it happens half the time, right?
00:38:06:12 – 00:38:25:18
Unknown
Generally speaking, if the new moon's in the second half of a sign, the full moon will not be in the sign opposite, but the following sign. So in the case of, like Sagittarius, new moon full moons, not in Gemini, but in cancer. So on one level now we get fire and water. Now we get Yang in yin. Now we get.
00:38:25:18 – 00:38:31:15
Unknown
If you use the terms positive and negative, I don't mean good and bad luck. The negative wire is your friend
00:38:31:17 – 00:38:47:18
Unknown
in the house. Why? Because it's grounded. How? It's literally tied to middle earth. In the earth to connect to its watery circuit. So you won't shock yourself, you know? I mean, it's like the red wire is the one you should be scared of, right?
00:38:47:18 – 00:38:48:00
Unknown
So
00:38:48:00 – 00:39:19:06
Unknown
negative does not mean bad. It means grounded. It means down. And then you see, I mean we also want our up and up. So there's something actually beautiful in a different kind of balance. And consider as well that according to the tradition there were seven rays right there. I can see my my partner the opposite. I can see in these two trines, these two squares and these two sextile, but I can't see my neighbors and I can't see the neighbors of my partner across the street, which is this a weird thing?
00:39:19:12 – 00:39:46:11
Unknown
But there's some biology here. We actually have the optical nerve, intersects the eyeball at 150 degrees, and this creates a lacuna or blind spots in our vision at 150 degrees. Another side now in the human design, the stereoscopic vision heals that aversion or that blindness. But it's there and you can go play online, you know, close one eye and the apple disappears and close the other and the orange disappears.
00:39:46:11 – 00:40:10:12
Unknown
Those of you who've been initiated know what I'm talking about. Go see about your blind spots. It's an intriguing thing. And while I love harmonics and so much more, and there's something in that, like how far is the 28 degree Sagittarius New Moon from the 13 degree cancer full moon, for example? Like, they might not be opposite, but and this happens between all new informants, I can look at this beautiful harmonic and it has a lot to say.
00:40:10:17 – 00:40:43:05
Unknown
Okay, but if we play with the old seven rays one opposition to Trines two squares to sextile, doesn't the truth that a new moon and a full moon not on a pole, but in quincunx signs, right. Cancer in Sagittarius doesn't open the opportunity in that kind of call, but response from a world I don't even know about to help us seek in the infinite, in the mysteries, and maybe hear more about what exists behind the veil
00:40:43:10 – 00:40:51:04
Unknown
and all the things that you and I, Laura, and everybody tuning into this, especially after this long astro babble, is about right.
00:40:51:04 – 00:40:53:10
Unknown
So I think there's a beautiful gift to it.
00:40:53:16 – 00:41:13:00
Unknown
And really importantly, like I, I encourage you to track new moons, new moons, and watch the procession not only through the sign, but through the whole zodiac. And consider how loud was I when the cycle I was born to kind of came back to that zone? You'll discover amazing things that are typically not taught, but look also at the new full moons.
00:41:13:00 – 00:41:34:18
Unknown
I I'm really encouraging this kind of call and response like musical way to play with that and see how they move through the year. And you'll see times, by the way, where like the new moon is just like at 18 degrees and then 18 degrees of the next time and 18 degrees, and it's like not doing anything. And then the other sides of the year where it's like moving from 18 to 16 and you're like, wait, what?
00:41:34:20 – 00:41:58:12
Unknown
So you can actually start to see some of the problems that really bothered the ancients when they were still working with circular orbits. And you start to get to see into the powers and the magic and the weirdness of the ellipse. And now you're in like Kepler space. So enjoy your play. Thanks for asking a question more. I knew you were the right person to ask that question, too.
00:41:58:14 – 00:42:12:13
Unknown
I got so much more than I that I could ever hope for. So thank you Brett. I'm so excited to have you back in the inner circle. If you're an inner circle member with us, you're in for a treat. I think this is the fourth time you've talked with us now in the inner circle. Fifth time maybe. I think it's the fifth.
00:42:12:15 – 00:42:29:10
Unknown
Yeah. So you're a pro? We're in for a treat. I'm super excited to have you back. So if you want to join us, the doors are open. Feel free. Astrology, webcomic, Inner circle. And but we're also looking forward to having you on the forecast panel. That's going to be a really big one, and we're making it a big two day event this year for our ten years.
00:42:29:10 – 00:42:31:19
Unknown
So excited to have you as well.
00:42:31:21 – 00:42:44:17
Unknown
Okay, Brad, I have a couple questions. So I'm hearing you say words like faith, infinite joy. No, not seen questing hidden places.
00:42:44:19 – 00:43:07:24
Unknown
So what would you say if someone is, like, overwhelmed by the thought of the infinite, right? Like we're in a time right now where we don't really know what's coming up in the future. We know 2026 is a big year. What do you say to someone so they can walk the path of the infinite joyfully, like Jupiter in their flannel versus kind of like more concerned about it?
00:43:08:01 – 00:43:33:06
Unknown
It's an amazing question. I mean, it's one of my great challenges right now. I think it's a challenge that astrologers might face more than others, because we have these amazing tools that help us look forward and help us contemplate that which has happened as well, and see as we are students of these cycles. Right? Like what happened last time Pluto was out of bounds.
00:43:33:06 – 00:43:38:13
Unknown
For example, most planets will go out of bounds or are most likely to go out of bounds in the solstice sign.
00:43:38:15 – 00:43:45:03
Unknown
So that's Gemini. Cancer in Sagittarius, Capricorn Pluto goes out of bounds in Leo
00:43:45:05 – 00:43:54:01
Unknown
and Aquarius because Pluto's orbit is crazy, right? So we look back to when Pluto was last out of bounds, and Leo and we can see some pretty out of bounds folks.
00:43:54:01 – 00:44:06:23
Unknown
And I'll probably share some examples of that when we connect for the 2026 forecast. Because part of 2026 will be Pluto going out of bounds. It's hard to see things like this and not like freak out. Right.
00:44:07:00 – 00:44:14:11
Unknown
And that's where for me, it's like, why did I ever start with astrology? Because sometimes it can feel so scary.
00:44:14:13 – 00:44:28:09
Unknown
But one of my roles as a practitioner, as a counselor, as a coach, is to, like, help people choose more of that, you know, path of jollity and hope.
00:44:28:11 – 00:45:02:24
Unknown
Rather than fear. Because Mercury reminds us, of course, how powerful our spells are, that as we narrate our experience, you know, our words, whether they're spoken or just said within and echoing around, have great, powerful, magic, right? So one thing that I look forward to bringing to the 2026 panel, although maybe this will be something that we'd rather hear from Gary Cayton since he wrote a book on the Mercury Elemental year.
00:45:03:01 – 00:45:33:04
Unknown
Is that Mercury will be in the cycles exploring the waterway in 2026 that has now begun Mercury's retrograde conjunction with the sun in late November 2025, in the sign of Scorpio. And this is a shift from fire cycles to water cycles for Mercury right now. The last time we were in Mercury, water cycles 2019 and 2020.
00:45:33:06 – 00:45:40:05
Unknown
Okay, so we're retrogrades back to a time where it was crazy and the world went crazy.
00:45:40:07 – 00:45:52:21
Unknown
And the reason why I want to bring this in is what is water Mercury. Say are you going to figure this out. Right. Are you going to know is this something that can be calculated.
00:45:52:23 – 00:46:08:24
Unknown
Right. Is this like the math problems I love so much. Something that has one correct answer. No. Right. It's the water way. And while the water reminds me to pour some tea might take the shape of the earth that embraces it, right?
00:46:08:24 – 00:46:17:17
Unknown
It is a flowing and rather free thing. It's also a thing that connects us all. And it reminds us to, as I like to say, that the art of the chart starts in the heart.
00:46:17:19 – 00:46:27:21
Unknown
And so these mysterious kind of foggy things like faith. Like even when it's really hard
00:46:27:23 – 00:46:34:04
Unknown
here within, at home, in the clan and the family, in the culture.
00:46:34:06 – 00:47:08:18
Unknown
Right. We can know that we are guided in the times, you know, where we feel so far off the path. I like to say a beautiful thing about the path that you can't leave it if you feel like you got fully sidetracked, that's part of your path, you know? So I think having what I'll call faith and just trust and really hope and optimism and even having practices, this will be part of our, inner circle soul work, too, as a gratitude practices.
00:47:08:20 – 00:47:40:12
Unknown
And, Generosity practices. Right. Because when we are in that space, like so speaking of Jupiter, like Jupiter had a whole side who was, why do Greek words always escape me? Because I don't speak the language, but. Okay, so zinnias juice Zeus. I keep calling Jupiter juice lately, which I guess is just combining the Latin and then the Greek, which I do often do anyway.
00:47:40:12 – 00:48:05:20
Unknown
So find juice. Right. So there's xenos juice. You might hear that term in like xenophobia, like the fear of the strange or the fear of the outsider, like, no, no, no. And the traditions. You would welcome the wanderer at your gates, invite them into the home, let them warm themselves. The jars clean themselves in the bath. See them, treat them as family.
00:48:05:22 – 00:48:30:17
Unknown
Eat all that before you ask their name and with their on about. And you know, these days it's hard to trust. Well, it was that way back then to right. But finding that generosity, that hospitality, that warmth and seeing that Jupiter's about this. And I love that Jupiter's in in cancer at this time and will cohabit with the cancer moon who arrives there in this particular cycle.
00:48:30:18 – 00:48:58:17
Unknown
That's a significant theme for next year. So my hope is that if we do through Reme, remembering the power of gratitude, of generosity, of hospitality, well, like staying safe, there's a bunch of songs I'm excited to share in that regard. Like that's kind of we're juggling this lives to the solstice ceremonies. We often give gifts to people in the family or like really close in the clan.
00:48:58:17 – 00:49:26:01
Unknown
But how can can we offer that generosity like outside of us? And even just practicing gratitude and remembering the amazing things like, I'm so lucky to have a roof and warmth and food and times are tough for me right now, you know? But like, I'm okay. And when I start there, then that's just a flower that blossoms and sends you right through the through the gratitude be.
00:49:26:01 – 00:49:57:21
Unknown
It's like pulling out to the world. And if we all just kind of start in that space. So that's my main thing is like it's going to be the water way. How can we, connect with the timings of astrology to help us align with the celestial Symphony so that our practices of growth and transformation and manifestation are supported by, you know, the soundtrack of the time.
00:49:57:23 – 00:50:21:03
Unknown
But not need to know, including like staying detached from the way that we expect our dreams to come true. Right? Attachment to the outcome will often bring us to delusion or confusion, or really have us kind of miss the point
00:50:21:05 – 00:50:29:08
Unknown
of the thing that's maybe even happening right in front of our eyes, but because it's coming in a different way than we told it to,
00:50:29:10 – 00:50:30:24
Unknown
we don't see that it is.
00:50:31:01 – 00:51:03:12
Unknown
Right. Yeah. So I my, my, my dream is that the, the watery cycles of Mercury next year and Venus who will align between Earth and Sun in the sign of Scorpio and in the northern hemisphere autumn next year in the southern hemisphere spring. Like, there's something about the importance of staying watery, staying in the heart. And for me, again, the art of the chart starts in the heart, and that helps us know that astrology should be a way in and not a way out.
00:51:03:14 – 00:51:26:13
Unknown
All right, well, we do have. Of course, these really significant shifts next year to big deal. We spoke about 2025 is a great year of change because Pluto now fully committed to the Aquarian journey for some time. Uranus across the wall into Gemini, right. Neptune, Saturn all at the same time. Mercury and Venus in 2025 from Pisces into areas.
00:51:26:13 – 00:51:56:19
Unknown
But then they, you know, hit reverse and backed it on up. And so there's more commitment to those great shifts of Pisces now entering Aries to stay for some time. Sorry, Neptune entering Pisces to stay for some time. Saturn spending years and Aries coming up of Uranus now moving into Gemini. And then we'll get some of these great conversations that have been on that kind of promise sheet perfecting and maybe coming true.
00:51:56:19 – 00:52:05:22
Unknown
Right. So Saturn and Neptune, who have been dancing together, will finally make their conjunction the first degree of Aries
00:52:05:24 – 00:52:18:03
Unknown
right in between. Interestingly, Pluto in Aquarius and then Uranus moving into Gemini. I think we've all seen that sextile fan. I like to call it a sexy trine, because you get the Gemini Aquarius trine
00:52:18:05 – 00:52:20:17
Unknown
with the Aries midpoint in between.
00:52:20:19 – 00:52:42:09
Unknown
I mean, how amazing that Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all changing signs at the same time. That doesn't happen often, and also that they're making this amazing midpoint picture, to use that technical term. That's like a once in 500 years thing. And for them to be doing that also in Ptolemaic aspects in sextile trine like so super rare.
00:52:42:11 – 00:52:57:18
Unknown
And I think it should be hopeful to remember that in our tradition we teach trines and sect tiles. They say easy. I don't know about that word, but like flowing aspect there's agreement is exchanged is more ease. In that conversation.
00:52:57:20 – 00:53:08:23
Unknown
Russo talking about a Saturn Neptune conjunction. And yeah, I think I've been really just trying to find what is a metaphor, what is a vision of this thing, because for some time,
00:53:09:00 – 00:53:20:05
Unknown
when we've had strong Neptune transits to a personal planet in our chart, that was then followed by Saturn coming into Pisces and making a similar alignment.
00:53:20:07 – 00:53:45:01
Unknown
Right. And the metaphor was quite clear. Well, it was quite unclear, but it was this, like Neptune's here, the fog has come in. You have no idea where you're steering your boat. Stop trying. Like just let go of the wheel, say a prayer, and know that this storm is going to take you where you're meant to be. And what else are you going to do when Neptune comes in?
00:53:45:03 – 00:53:56:00
Unknown
Be in the water away, be and away, you know? And then now here's Saturn. And so the land has arrived. You're there, kissed the beach.
00:53:56:02 – 00:54:06:24
Unknown
You survived. But that doesn't mean there isn't work to do. You know, you're on this new, mysterious land. Where are you going? To get your food. Your water? Where is shelter? Right.
00:54:06:24 – 00:54:36:14
Unknown
Like that's how it's been. And I have counted myself, am counseling myself and so many others through that process in these recent times of Neptune first and then Saturn will soon they meet in Aries. And then because Saturn moves faster, soon people will be having Saturn activations, followed by Neptune. And now and next year, like it's happening simultaneously, like I'm having a bunch of transits to personal planets by both Saturn and Neptune at the same time.
00:54:36:15 – 00:55:22:17
Unknown
So like, what do you do? One's enough. Two it's a different kind of too much. But the metaphor that's coming in, I kind of hesitate to say I've said it too many times already, and because I haven't gotten to test it to see if it's true. But like the vision for me is kind of clearance because of that Aries fire and because in the tradition, Saturn said to be kind of stranger in a strange land, in that space, the vision is that you're in the desert and thirsty to the point of done, and you have another hundred steps, but miraculously, oasis on the horizon and of course, you're reinvigorated, inspired, just to make
00:55:22:17 – 00:55:50:03
Unknown
it there to the cool water that's going to completely save you and reset you and all of this. And here's the trick. And this is kind of the Neptune thing is. And Saturn and the spells to which we were speaking about before, we may have come to believe that that's not an oasis at all, but just another mirage, because we've gotten there before, or so we thought.
00:55:50:03 – 00:56:09:04
Unknown
And we took a drink of the cool water, and it was a sandy thing that made it that much worse. You know, and I think that people have gotten so wise that they'll just walk along not even trying to drink the water, because they believe the oasis is a mirage. And at this time, this time it is an oasis.
00:56:09:04 – 00:56:39:15
Unknown
And like what the Mirage is, is this rule that you've created for yourself that says, I, you know, that's not water. Maybe I don't deserve the water never works that way. The world is too hard. Just turn on the TV or look around, you know? But so these are all like kind of statements of faith. And they might feel like tests, but that, promotes more stress.
00:56:39:17 – 00:57:04:17
Unknown
Think the answer always. And we'll be reminded of this in interesting ways in 2026. And hopefully always is, says lead with love. And it's going to be okay. I love that you can't. You can't go wrong with love. In my experience, you absolutely can't. So, and we will get Brett's full insights on 2026 and our 2026 forecast panel.
00:57:04:17 – 00:57:21:02

Gemini Brett will be joined with other amazing astrologers like Gary Cayton, Penny Thornton, Adam Ellen Bass, and others. So excited for that. Brett,
00:57:29:18 – 00:57:31:05
Unknown
I'm excited as well.
00:57:31:08 – 00:57:50:10
Unknown
And speaking of gratitude, I have so much gratitude for astrology. It's done so much for astrology in general. For me personally, it's how I met my partner and therefore brought the baby in and it's been such just a lift to my career and helping me connect with other fellows along the way.
00:57:50:10 – 00:57:52:15
Unknown
So I'm going to sing the last line
00:57:52:17 – 00:58:08:11
Unknown
of that song I mentioned before this Wandering Day, which hopefully will also remind you to keep the faith. It's a line that Tolkien himself wrote, but it's been expanded in this song and it goes like this. Not all who wonder or wonder are lost.
00:58:08:13 – 00:58:20:23
Unknown
And that's especially true when the generosity of people we meet along the way just resonates, because we see a twinkle in their eye that helps us know that they too are strange.
00:58:21:00 – 00:58:37:21
Unknown
