We've decided it's time to bring our podcast, Let's Get Real Astrology, to a close. This wasn't an easy decision, but as with all things in life, there comes a time to embrace new chapters and follow the call of our evolving paths.

For the past three and a half years, we've had the deep pleasure of sharing our passion for astrology with you. We've explored the depths of the zodiac, navigated cosmic weather, and delved into the mysteries of the human experience through the lens of the stars. It's been an incredible journey filled with laughter, learning, and a deep appreciation for the power of astrology to illuminate our lives.

We are immensely grateful for your support, your insightful questions, and your willingness to get real with us about astrology. You've been an integral part of this journey, and we cherish the connections we've made along the way.

While this marks the end of Let's Get Real Astrology, it's not a goodbye. We both continue to offer our services as astrologers, and we encourage you to stay connected with us through our individual websites and social media channels listed below.

Please enjoy this final episode in which we do a proper Mercury-Retrograde-in-Sagittarius wrap-up, followed by our insights and takeaways about the life of “Let’s Get Real Astrology.”

Thank you for coming with us on this journey!

With gratitude,

Dena & Katie

Discover how this personalized chart, cast for the exact moment the Sun returns to its position at your birth, can offer valuable insights into the year ahead. We delve into the debate of using birth location versus current location for casting the chart, sharing our experiences and preferences. Get ready to learn how to harness the power of Solar Returns to gain a deeper understanding of your personal growth and potential challenges in the coming year.

Try this experiment:

1. Cast your own Solar Return for the current year you are in (example: if your birthday is in November, cast your SR using the 2023 chart). Use your place of birth.

2. Cast the same chart again, but using the location you were on your birthday.

3. Compare the two charts. Using basic interpretation skills, which chart resonates more with the experience you've had so far since your last birthday?

You can repeat this process for any previous year, too. You may also do this for the charts of family and friends. Keep notes of your findings in a notebook (digital or old-school paper). This will help you to formulate your own sense of what works for you in practice.  

-If you need a video tutorial on how to cast a Solar Return chart in Luna Astrology Software, you can find it about 1 min 53 secs into THIS VIDEO. 

-For more information about the "place at birth vs. place at birthday" debate, Steven Forrest wrote a great article expanding on it HERE

Katie and Dena do a reading of Venus in each of the twelve signs. They discuss the relationship needs of each Venus sign, as well as the shadow expression. They also make recommendations for how to find more fulfillment in relationship by better understanding your own love language.

Venus Facts:

  • Venus takes about three weeks to move through sign, unless it is retrograde, then can spend a few months in a sign
  • Venus can be no more than two signs away from the Sun (because it is inside Earth’s orbit)
  • Venus rules Libra (a relationship sign) and Taurus (a money and resources sign)
  • The house placement adds another layer of meaning, so if you know your house placement, you can fold that into the mix (refer to episode on houses)

They discuss how the Leo themes of play and romance will be at the forefront. It is a time to reconnect in our closest relationships by bringing in more fun. During this time, it's important to keep the focus on play and to avoid becoming "all business" in partnerships. They provide strategies for making the meaning of Venus Rx in Leo specific to your own chart.

Facts:

-Venus Retrograde happens about every 1.5 years for a period of about 40 days

-Venus spends an extra-long time in the signs it travels through during the Retrograde (so we are spending extra time working on Venus-themed lessons related to that sign)

-The last Venus Retrograde was Dec 19, 2021 - Jan 29, 2022 in Capricorn

-Venus Retro has an 8 year cycle, so the last time the Retro was in Leo was the summer of 2015

Pluto Return Facts

  • The U.S. is in the middle of an approximately 3.5 year period of its Pluto Return.
  • The Pluto Return is defined as when Pluto returns to the position it was at the “birth”.
  • We are using the 7/4/1776 date and the Sibly Chart to define that return
  • Pluto takes approximately 248 years to go around the Sun
  • The Pluto Return lasts a little over three years (depending upon the orb you use)
  • Exact dates are almost meaningless in such a lengthy transit. They simply mark the peaks in an ongoing wave of energy.

Here are the dates that it has been in range using a 2.5 degree orb: 

-in range during month of April 2020 where it stations Rx at 24 deg. 59 min

-In range 1/27/21 - 8/8/21

-In range 12/2/21 - 3/27/23 (all of 2022)

  • Jupiter takes 12 years to go around the zodiac. 
  • We have a “Jupiter Return” transit approximately every 12 years.
  • Jupiter spends about 1 year total in a sign, but it will go retrograde and direct (forward and backward) so may exit one sign to re-enter the previous sign.
  • Jupiter transits can last just a couple of months or about 9 months.
  • Jupiter has dual rulership of Pisces and Sagittarius and co-rules Pisces with Neptune.
  • Currently Jupiter is in Pisces. Dates: May 13, 2021-July 28, 2021; Dec 29, 2021-May 10, 2022,  Oct 28-Dec 20, 2022. 
  • Jupiter enters Aries intermittently in 2022 then continues in 2023. Dates: May 10 - Oct 28, 2022, then Dec 20, 2022 - May 16, 2023
  • Jupiter and Neptune are conjunct this year on April 12 at 24 deg. Pisces. This will be in influence mid March - mid May, and is significant as the co-rulers of Pisces are at home in Pisces, magnifying the themes of this sign.

  • Jupiter takes 12 years to go around the zodiac. 
  • We have a “Jupiter Return” transit approximately every 12 years.
  • Jupiter spends about 1 year total in a sign, but it will go retrograde and direct (forward and backward) so may exit one sign to re-enter the previous sign.
  • Jupiter transits can last just a couple of months or about 9 months.
  • Jupiter has dual rulership of Pisces and Sagittarius and co-rules Pisces with Neptune.
  • Currently Jupiter is in Pisces. Dates: May 13, 2021-July 28, 2021; Dec 29, 2021-May 10, 2022,  Oct 28-Dec 20, 2022. 
  • Jupiter enters Aries intermittently in 2022 then continues in 2023. Dates: May 10 - Oct 28, 2022, then Dec 20, 2022 - May 16, 2023
  • Jupiter and Neptune are conjunct this year on April 12 at 24 deg. Pisces. This will be in influence mid March - mid May, and is significant as the co-rulers of Pisces are at home in Pisces, magnifying the themes of this sign.
