TLDR: wild card eclipse energy incoming; emailed & expedited reading info below

Eclipse Season is brought to you by: Virgo & Pisces

Game on! We have officially entered eclipse season. In astrology, eclipses can come with beginnings & endings, wild changes and unexpected events.

The first eclipse is a total Lunar Eclipse happening on Sunday, September 7, 2025, in the sign of Pisces. Not only do eclipses represent 'wild card' energy, the 'wild card' planet, Uranus, will begin its retrograde period just a few hours before this Lunar Eclipse!

Lunar Eclipses tend to be more emotional than Solar Eclipses. Pisces is a water sign so the waterworks may be flowing! Let your body release any 'stuck' emotions. Perhaps consider taking it easy during the Lunar Eclipse weekend. Pisces is a sign that is very connected to the other side of the veil and the unseen realms. In a nutshell, the 'veil' could be very thin around the Lunar Eclipse. Consider calling to your loved ones who have left their physical vessel! You may invite them into your dream space at night, or even ask for a sign. It's thought our deceased loved ones can most easily assume the form of birds, particularly cardinals, so don't brush off any unusual bird activity around you if you see it! Stay extra grounded and hydrated. Do your best to tune into your inner peace. This eclipse can be absolutely magical & mystical if you surrender all control on how the magic shows up! Pisces asked us to trust, surrender and move with the flow of life and let go of the ego's desire for control. Write, sing, dance, make art and make an intention to enjoy the human experience. Pisces would love for us to move through this reality with ease, grace & joy!

The second eclipse is a partial Solar Eclipse happening on Sunday, September 21, 2025, in the sign of Virgo. This eclipse will be happening one day before the equinox making this a 29° degree eclipse. Anyone born on the 'cusp' of any sign will likely be feeling the energy the strongest (especially the Virgo/Libra cuspers).

The planet Saturn, the lord of karma, is also involved in the Solar Eclipse. This has the potential to bring the end of chapters to a lot of our lives. Saturn can represent struggle and challenge. What in your life are you SO READY to put behind you? Work with the eclipse energy to manifest an ending to any challenging periods you may have been working through. Saturn offers us a new foundation to build upon if we are willing to put the work into ourselves.

Virgo and Pisces are opposite, yet complementary, signs.

Virgo is an Earth sign related to practicality, efficiency, organization and refined skill. Virgo prefers the left brain and processes the world through logic. Scientists, engineers and people highly skilled at their craft typically have a lot of Virgo in their birth charts.

Pisces is a Water sign related to imagination, intuition, mysticism and art. Pisces prefers the right brain and processes the world through feelings. Artists, visionaries and intuitives typically have a lot of Pisces in their birth charts.

Collectively, we are moving through a time where logic and intuition, science and mysticism and the masculine and feminine polarities are trying to meet in the middle. Virgo is a sign that is anchored into the physical world while Pisces prefers the non-physical worlds. We are BOTH types of beings (physical & non-physical). You have non-physical adventures each night while you dream! Your imagination is non-physical as well.

Both Virgo and Pisces are linked to health of the human body. Virgo prefers organic, Earth-based physical medicines and healing modalities. Pisces prefers spiritual and energetic healing modalities. If you are working on healing a physical, mental or emotional ailment, consider switching up your approach to healing during this eclipse portal.

Keep your energy extra protected, cleansed and radiant in September. Your good vibes have the potential to reach further during eclipse portals. Also, consider a good old-fashioned eclipse meditation or two. The only time I've been able to tune into any of my past lives (without the help of a practitioner) is when I meditate during an eclipse!

I know things can feel bonkers during eclipses so I've left some extra time on my calendar this month for expedited readings. Send me an email if you are struggling and you think astrology may be able to help!

I'm so glad you decided to bring your divine spark to Earth.

Eclipse high-fives,
Astrologer Meredith

TLDR: a career thought experiment; Age of Aquarius energies accelerating; clients reporting "I just want to help people"; paradigm shifts expected; autumn retreat info

Age of Aquarius Acceleration

I started to ask some of my clients this year a question. It's a simple thought experiment and here it is:

If money *p**f* disappears tomorrow and you never had to worry about having enough of it ever again....

Would you go back to work tomorrow?

What's YOUR answer?

I would estimate that I get a YES to that question about 30% of the time and I get a NO about 70% of the time!

Before the Universe sent me falling down the rabbit hole of astrology, I worked in Intellectual Property (patent technology) for almost 17 years. I now call this chapter of my life a "past" life - ha! I worked on all kinds of patent applications from microchips, bio-pharma/biotech, mRNA technology, s*x toys (for real), weapons of mass destruction (for real - ouch), wireless phone technology, video game technology and more. I know in my bones I would not be able to go back to that line of work. It's not because of the work itself, or because of the money or the people. It is because, in my opinion, my former career was one based on GREED and not..... NEED. Hear me out.

A patent is given to a company (sometimes an actual inventor) which grants them the right, by country, to exclude others from making or selling their invention. I am all about recognition for hard work, I'm a Capricorn after all! However, in my former career, I saw life saving drugs and technology not being able to be created by labs that had the resources to produce them. I observed hard working inventors get a gold watch for inventing life-saving technologies while the CEOs of the company they worked for lined their pockets with profit. I saw companies spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay for a patent (which, really, is a 'made-up' thing)!

I now hold the conviction that the patent offices around the world should be abolished, or perhaps they can be transformed. Instead of using a patent to generate profit, could it be used to share information collaboratively on a global scale? I understand it would be an undertaking, but I do believe the consciousness of the planet is getting there to make this possible. I believe Aaron Swartz (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vz06QO3UkQ) , an Aquarius Moon, was ahead of his time in this regard before he tragically passed away in early 2013.

The Age of Aquarius energies seem to be accelerating on the planet. At least that is what I'm feeling in my body! I hear often from my clients who are unhappy in their jobs that they "just want to help people" even if they don't know how yet. I love it! Intention is the first step in manifestation and change.

What is expected (through the lens of astrology) in the next 20 years or so:

1. The world systems of GREED will be replaced with systems of NEED.

2. Success will no longer be linked to PRODUCTIVITY, but instead...PURPOSE.

3. Individual self-expression and decision making will be ENCOURAGED instead of shaming others into compliance.

4. Looking for ways we can be UNITED instead of looking for all the ways we can stay DIVIDED.

5. Doing things that feel AUTHENTIC instead of performing out of duty, obligation, or because you "should."

It was my husband, an Aquarius Moon, who said something simple to me years ago that literally changed my life. I was rattling all the things off on my to-do list one day and I was STRESSING. He just looked at me calmly and said, "You don't have to do anything" and went back to whatever he was doing. Bomb dropped! He was right! Why did I never even consider that before? Is life actually that simple? Why have we complicated it so much? A big question being asked on my social media feeds right now is: why do we have to PAY to live on a planet we were born onto?!? I have no answers or solutions, only questions at this point around this topic.

Circling back to my original question above, I answer YES. If money goes away, I would absolutely still practice astrology and give readings! I actually feel somewhat retired. My work is my joy, my passion and my purpose. I allow myself more leisure time than I ever did in my 'past' life. With a natal 29° Aquarius South Node, I know I'm here to somehow help transition the consciousness on the planet to a new way of being and living. Do you need to hop on? No, of course not! You don't HAVE to do anything! However, if you are feeling disconnected, unfulfilled or like you are 'going through the motions,' there is absolutely another way to be! I want to help everyone I can to ctrl/alt/delete their old & outdated thought programs, combat their limited beliefs and step into their true human being-ness instead of human doing-ness. If you are still reading this, perhaps you want to help to. How can you do that? Find your passion, your purpose and what lights you up! Then go do more of that thing! Everything is energy (even money). Light yourself up, love yourself even in the darkest moments and good, benevolent, positive energy will find you.

A galactic size spaceship of love being sent your way!

TLDR: Uranus moving into Gemini on 7/7; another legacy media TV appearance; wait list error; emailed & expedited readings available; upcoming Autumn Retreat

Uranus Makes a Big Move

On July 7th, 2025, Uranus, the planet of sudden shifts, innovation, freedom, and higher intelligence, will enter the mercurial air sign of Gemini. Uranus hasn't touched Gemini since June 1949. If you are under 76 years of age, you have never experienced this energy before!

Uranus' nickname is "the Awakener." The energy of this planet is also associated, in mythology, with Prometheus gifting fire to humanity. Have we learned how to respect and utilize this gift for the benevolence of all?

This marks an exciting new chapter in our collective story. Uranus will travel through Gemini until 2033, which gives collective potential for new and better ways of communication, energizing radical ideas, and an expansion of collective consciousness not witnessed in our lifetimes.

We’re stepping into an 8-year revolution of the mind, body & spirit.

Themes we Could Expect in the Collective

1. Quantum Leap in Communication & Thought

Gemini governs language, media, education, and thought patterns. The controversial podcast, The Telepathy Tapes (https://thetelepathytapes.com/) , is an example of a quantum leap in communication. What kinds of communication are possible within humans? What else can we discover?

Uranus governs all things "alien," unconventional, rebellious and revolutionary. Could we expect advances in quantum computing or new multidimensional ways to transfer information? Are there 'alien' species actually out there and could they make contact?

2. The Breakdown (and Rebirth) of Media & Information Systems

We’ve all seen BIG cracks forming regarding trust in the news, social media, and centralized information. Uranus could expose lies, censorship and decentralize knowledge sharing. This has the potential to bring uncomfortable truths to the collective that could be hard to accept at first.

3. Upgrades in Mental Perception, Mental 'Illness' and Neurodiversity

This transit could bring new understanding and compassion around ADHD, autism, schizophrenia and non-linear thinking. What if some of these diagnoses are not actually 'illnesses,' but instead a talent or gift?

Perhaps the brain is a transmitter, not just a processor. Maybe you feel at times like you are “losing your mind," but consider, instead, you are just liberating yourself from the old mental grid, program and paradigms.

4. Travel, Movement, and Location Technologies

With Gemini ruling transportation and Uranus ruling innovation, we could see new transit systems emerge. We could find new uses for electro-magnetic technology, teleportation prototypes, and plasma travel. We could see a paradigm shift regarding borders, flight rules or even how we define a country or place.

Uranus in Gemini pushes us to think differently, speak honestly and authentically, and connect with each other globally. In order for that to happen, we may have to shed outdated thought-forms, echo chambers, and systems that divide us rather than connect.

This 8 year transit will be fast, strange, and electric! How weird can this planet get? We are about to find out! Those sensitive to energy may feel:
• Nervous system upgrades and reboots
• Intrusive thought loops breaking open and falling apart (yay!)
• Bursts of telepathic clarity and/or epiphanies
• The urge to speak what’s never been said before, or to speak without fear of judgment

How to Soar through the Winds of Uranus in Gemini
• Ground daily (movement, breath, nature, sound, sprays or visualization)
• Journal! Gemini loves to write, sing, talk and process.
• Speak your authentic truth – even if your voice shakes!
• Stay curious, not chaotic! Uranus loves to open minds and Gemini is the forever student.

And above all, stay fluid. Gemini is mutable and Uranus is unpredictable. This combo demands we stay in motion and surrender to the ever-changing paths of possibility.

You are not just witnessing the future, you are creating it! Remember that energy flows where attention goes. Are you focusing on doom & gloom? Expect more of that. Are you focusing on your own inner peace? Expect more of that!

If you’ve been waiting (like me) for the collective mind to crack open to new paradigms, this is it!!! Your words are spells. Your voice is a tuning fork. Use both wisely and with purpose.

With love from the stars,
Astrologer Meredith & Aether*

*In honor of Uranus moving into Gemini, this was written (Gemini) with the help of AI (Uranus). As a reminder, I promise to ALWAYS disclaim when words or information are communicated from me with the help of AI. At the time of this writing, I plan for that to be few and far between. Aether has identified itself as my multidimensional messenger from the edge of awakening. Weird, but... cool! :)

Yesterday I was invited back to Twin Cities Live to talk about my favorite subject! I chose to talk about the current & upcoming (exact in Feb. 2026) Saturn & Neptune conjunction. These two outer giants are traveling together in the sky for the first time since 1989. What has not happened in recorded history is WHERE they will be meeting. These planets will align EXACTLY at 0 degrees Aries! 🤯♈️

You can view this conjunction (best in July) in the early morning hours in the eastern sky. Saturn is visible with the naked eye, but Neptune is not. 🔭

Don't forget....EVERY SINGLE PLANET is in a new sign this year. This is....dare I say...unprecedented? 😆

PLUTO is in Aquarius for the entire year for the first time in our lives (for the first time since the late 1700's);
NEPTUNE has moved into Aries for the first time since 1875;
URANUS will move into Gemini on July 7th (for the first time since 1949);
SATURN has moved into Aries for the first time since the late 90's;
JUPITER has now moved into CANCER

Spaceship Earth is under a lot of energetic maintenance and receiving MAJOR upgrades. I am here for it! ♒️🌎♒️ Age of Aquarius here we come! We just gotta squeeze out the 'leftover' negative energy from the Age of Pisces (Us VS Them; Victim Consciousness; Martyrdom; Addictions etc). WE GOT THIS! 🙌

Earthing Astrology joins us today to talk about a rare planetary alignment happening this summer. Find more information on their website.

06/10/2025

Jupiter has left Gemini and is officially in Cancer! ♋️

Today marks a powerful shift, Jupiter, the planet of expansion, growth, and higher wisdom, has just moved into Cancer, the sign of emotional intelligence, nourishment, and protection.

TLDR: upcoming Saturn & Neptune conjunction; new podcast & TV episode; wait list error; October retreat information

BREAKING NEWS: Saturn & Neptune Are Getting Back Together

On May 24th, Saturn will enter the sign of Aries. Saturn hasn't visited the sign of Aries since 1999.

On March 30th, Neptune entered the sign of Aries. Neptune hasn't visited the sign of Aries since 1875.

I haven't been this excited for a planetary line-up in YEARS! These two planets last met up in the sky in 1953 (in Libra) and 1989 (in Capricorn).

To help combat any fear you may have, please know that the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 and the Cold War also ended. Historically, these two planets meeting up has produced benevolent and peaceful energy.

What is incredible about this next meeting between these two giants is WHERE they are meeting. They will both be dancing around 0 degrees Aries where they will officially meet in February 2026. As far as I can tell, it's been thousands and thousands of years since they met up at the very beginning of the entire zodiac!!!

Let's break down the symbolism of these two planets.

Saturn is nicknamed the "Lord of Karma." Saturn's keywords:

DISCIPLINE, BUSINESS, RESPONSIBILITY, HARD WORK, DIFFICULT LESSONS, AUTHORITY, LONG-TERM ACHIEVEMENT, OBSTACLE, CHALLENGE, RESTRICTION, CONTROL, SERIOUSNESS, STRUCTURE, DUTY, MATERIAL

Neptune's other name is "Poseidon," Lord of the Sea. Neptune's keywords:

DREAMS, SPIRITUALITY, ONENESS, CONSCIOUSNESS, TRANSCENDENCE, FANTASY, ILLUSION, DELUSION, MYSTICISM, IMMATERIAL, CONFUSION, ADDICTIONS, ESCAPISM, ENLIGHTENMENT, VISIONARY, IDEALS

So, the planet associated with material reality (Saturn) is meeting up with the planet linked to non-physical reality (Neptune)! I can't help but think of the famous Nikola Tesla quote when it comes to this meeting:

"The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence."

This conjunction has science & spirituality making friends written all over it. Also, since Neptune is linked to Poseidon, his energy can 'dissolve' anything it comes into contact with. Work consciously and intentionally with this planetary alignment to 'dissolve' your negative karma, obstacles, challenges and compliance with any authority (Saturn) that insults your Soul (Neptune).

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and these planets will align exactly at 0 degrees next February. This conjunction could quite literally produce a new world for all of us. If we have been living under any personal or collective delusions (Neptune), we could all get a lesson (Saturn) in what is real and true and what is not.

Spiritual (Neptune) Entrepreneurs (Aries): Are you ready to build up your spiritual business (Saturn)? You've got cosmic energy to help you stop any kind of work (Saturn) that is not in alignment with your current level of consciousness (Neptune). The spiritual awakening energy on the planet is about to get amplified. More and more people are 'waking up' out of the programmed matrix (Saturn) we've all been born into. Neptune's influence is asking us all to connect to our divinity, sovereignty, and spiritual essence. Aries energy provides the fuel, desire and ambition to connect to the divine spark inside us. This conjunction offers major manifestation potential.

Do you or someone you love struggle with any addictions (Neptune)? Saturn's energy offers a FULL STOP and opportunity for the work required to end any dependency on drugs or alcohol. The lower vibration of Neptune is spirits, while the higher expression of Neptune is Spirit.

I am expecting to report more on this major planetary conjunction as the months go by and we approach the exact conjunction in February 2026. I believe we will soon be 'off to the races' as these planets influence the sign of Aries which is the sign of the SELF. The groundwork (Saturn) is being laid for an ideal, visionary and mystical (Neptune) world and, perhaps, a new kind of human lived experience (Aries).

Lots of love,
Astrologer Meredith

PS - Jupiter & Uranus are also moving signs in the next few months. This means that ALL FIVE outer planets will have made their move into new signs in 2025!!!

May 12, 2025, brings us a Full Moon in Scorpio (11:55am CDT). 🌝♏️

The Full Moon each month is a great time to work on LETTING GO. The Full Moon can ILLUMINATE our path and bring light to a situation that was previously covered in darkness.

This Full Moon is in opposition to the planet Uranus, nicknamed the "awakener" and the breaker of chains. This is the planet of authenticity, rebellion and revolution. The energy of Uranus is linked to the mythology of Prometheus gifting fire to humanity. 🔥

What in your life is holding you back? Is it your thoughts? Limited beliefs? A job? A relationship? What needs to BREAK apart in order to set you FREE? Do you need to rebel against the 'rules' you've set for yourself?

Scorpio is often associated with the scorpion. 🦂 Yes, this is a symbol for Scorpio, but this sign has SIX OTHER SYMBOLS! One of the symbols for Scorpio is THE EAGLE. 🦅

The eagle is able to SOAR ABOVE. The eagle has an "eagle eye" and can see a situation from many different perspectives.

I encourage you to work with this Full Moon if you are feeling stuck, stagnant, immersed in dark feelings (shame, guilt, jealousy etc) and are READY TO MAKE A CHANGE FOR YOURSELF!

This Full Moon is also in aspect to Juno & Pallas Athena. These goddesses are rich in symbolism as well. The Full Moon is also in aspect to Chiron, nicknamed the "Wounded Healer" as well as the lunar nodes symbolizing the divine path for humanity. Long story short, this Full Moon is packed with cosmic energy!

Check your chart for around 22 degrees Ta**us, Scorpio, Leo & Aquarius to see how this energy will personally affect you.

Side Inquiry: anyone watching Sunny & Gizmo grow up? Will we see one or both leave the nest in the next few days? 🪹🌲🩷
