Astrologers Joe G and Kyle Pierce embark on an in-depth exploration of the meaning and mythology behind astrology’s most infamous fixed star, Caput Algol. Inspired by a rare series of planetary alignments with Algol featured in the astrology of May 2024, the hosts render a vivid portrayal of Algol’s astrological implications with insights drawn from its astronomical properties, its representation in various cultural artifacts and prevalent themes in both modern and traditional mythological interpretations. Intertwining themes of vengeance, transformation, and the balance between masculine and feminine powers, the narrative explores the relationship between Medusa, Athena, Poseidon, introducing a unique retelling of Medusa’s story, reflecting on the enduring power of myths and their adaptation over time.

Like pulling the Sword from the Stone, planetary remediation is a demonstration of Sovereignty, a process of proclaiming to ourselves and to the cosmos our right to exercise power over the way our lives unfold. While we all face challenges and have our own monsters to slay, we can equip ourselves with the tools and weapons to face them and empower ourselves to enact real and meaningful change in our lives.

We’ll be discussing the meaning and images associated with the 2nd Decan of Aquarius.

Aquarius II is represented by the 6 of Swords card in the Tarot, and Austin Coppock calls it “Heaven and Earth.”

When Venus graces the sign of Gemini, she grants both love of knowledge and knowledge of love in all its manifold forms. Her wit and eagerness to explore the many ways of romance make her an ideal playmate for a diverse array of suitors. But is her reputation for duplicity in love deserved, or simply a case of a few rotten apples spoiling it for the bunch?

In this video we'll be exploring the essential meaning of Venus in Gemini as well as how she tends to show up in the lives of people born under her auspices.

Join us on the 3 of Wands Discord Server for a discussion of the meaning and associated images of the 3rd Decan of Aries. Aries III is represented in The Tarot by the 4 of Wands card, and Austin Coppock calls it “The Burning Rose.”

Astrological tradition names the sign of Cancer as the Fall of of the Mars. Indeed, Luna’s Temple offers a uniquely bewildering set of quagmires for the War God to overcome. But Mars also possesses an often overlooked potency in the Crab’s primeval waters, from which he draws powers of both redemption and ruin. The Red Planet’s time in this sign heralds the uncomfortable union of Wolves and Lambs, introducing fire and sword to that which is tender and yielding. Those who’s fate it marks must learn what is truly worth fighting for, as well as when to cast weapons aside. Those who master it become protectors and champions of the vulnerable, guarding against those monsters who pray on the weak, as well as those who lurk within the shadows of our own hearts.

Join us on the 3 of Wands Discord server for a discussion on the 3rd Decan of Pisces. The last 10 degrees of Sign of Pisces are said to be ruled by Mars in both main systems of Decan rulership. Pisces III is associated with the card 10 of Cups in the Tarot, and Austin Coppock calls it “A Cup of Blood.”

In Astrology, Saturn represents limits, restrictions, structure and discipline. The sign of Pisces represents our relationship with what lies beyond the visible, the transcendent, and how we commune with it in order to redeem our experience here on earth. When Saturn bares its weight down on the topics of Pisces, as it will for the next 2 and a half years and continue to in the lives of those born to it, we come to know what it means to look "through a glass, darkly," to peer into the void in search of the ineffable, only to find ourselves staring back. This connection all human beings naturally seek with what lies beyond, some call God, or Spirit or Divinity. Whatever you choose to call it, the gulf which spans between us and it can seem insurmountable for some, for others the fleeting and tenuous contacts made with it can not be easily discerned from the musings of our own imaginations. Saturn in Pisces represents a confrontation with the walls which separate us from both the divine as well as our fellow corporeal travelers. The wall is in fact a necessary structure built to contain individual consciousness, but any structure can become a prison when you can not find its doors. Saturn insists that we come to know and respect these walls, so that we may in time become responsible gatekeepers as well as caretakers for what dwells with in them.

Few know the creative and destructive potential that results when the will to action is ignited by the spark of a heart's desire, as do those born under Venus in the Sign of Aries. She is author to romantic works of both comedy and tragedy worthy of sagas. Though she must weather firestorms born of passion and lust, the many glamours she weaves in the Sign of The Ram burn brightly and are capable of leaving their imprint emblazoned eternally on the hearts and minds of those who stand in her light.

The Sun conjoins Saturn in the sign of Aquarius, marking both the end of one chapter in or Saturnine sagas and the beginning of a new one. Also know as a Cazimi, this moment of perfect union provokes a humbling confrontation with what is in whichever part of your life it touches, searing into the conscious mind those truths which can not be unseen. While some may have to grieve those possibilities which can no longer survive in the cold light of day, the clarity which is offered forms the basis for sound judgment and solid foundations upon which to move forward.

This week’s forecast features an extended examination of the meaning and significations of Mercury in Aquarius as we prepare for the end of Hermes' extended stay in the Sign of Capricorn.

Venus in Pisces has begun to separate from a contentious square with Mars in Gemini, opening the door new way of coming into harmonious union with the world around you and those who inhabit it. But proceed with caution, Venus is not quite out of the frying pan yet.

As the Sun drifts steadily toward a conjunction with Saturn in Aquarius, many of us will be called to come to terms with those limitations and obligations which impede our progress toward our ideals and ambitions. How can you prepare to lay new foundations to begin building a better future? Are there any crumbling and dilapidated fixtures in your life which you must abandon in order to move forward?

The astrology for the week of January 30th-Febuary 5th, 2023 features the build up of a provocative and potentially divisive square between an effervescent Venus in Pisces and volatile cyber-troll Mars in Gemini, as well as a Full Moon in the sign of Leo.
Both the Sun and Moon will be square Uranus in Taurus, challenging us to re-sync ourselves to the rhythm of a new paradigm. As the master funk revolutionaries, Parliament, teach us, “If the Funk Don’t Fit, Don’t force it.”

The astrology for the week of January 23rd-29th, 2023 features Venus separating from a frosty conjunction with Saturn in Aquarius and ingressing into Pisces, introducing a mostly glorious and very welcome revival of all matters Venusian. The end of the week will also feature the last appearance of Saturn before the Lord of darkness gets swallowed by light, disappearing under the beams of the Sun, not to reappear until the very end of a more then 6 year reign of Saturn in its domains of Capricorn and Aquarius.

The astrology for the week of January 16th-22nd, 2023 features Mercury stationing direct in Capricorn, a New Moon in Aquarius and Venus conjunct Saturn in Aquarius. This week brings into focus that which keeps us bound to unfulfilling circumstances and invites us to identify what must be sacrificed in order to reshape our lives in accordance with our personal will.

Mars will station direct January 12th, 2023, signaling the final phase of an over 6 month long retrograde cycle. While things may take some time to pick up speed, expect any ongoing conflicts to experience a shift in momentum and an area of your life which have undergone a build up of tension to begin to unravel in a potentially explosive way.

The Decans, also known as Faces, have been influential in divination and magical practices for thousands of years. We will be following the Sun’s journey through each one in turn, discussing their astrological meaning as well as their relationship with the Tarot.
