Astrology Unbound with Evan Nathaniel Grim
Luigi Mangione Birth Chart Deep Dive, Winter Solstice Preview
Unlock the secrets of the stars and see how cosmic forces shape our world and personal lives. Join me, Evan Nathaniel Grim, as we navigate the fascinating intersections of astrology and current events, including the astrological underpinnings behind the shocking crime involving prime suspect Luigi Mangione. Discover how Pluto in Aquarius and Saturn in Pisces signal profound societal shifts, reflecting the turmoil in our healthcare system and the larger struggle against entrenched power structures.
We examine how Pluto's transit through Aquarius might redefine our societal norms and also could reflect rapid advancements in technology that raise uncomfortable questions about regulating these technologies to minimize damage and other unwanted externalities while also allowing technological progress to continue. We also explore the mysterious case of drones hovering around New Jersey and how that could connect to other seemingly disparate current events. There is a larger theme at play with Saturn in Pisces.
Hey, there, it's Evan Nathaniel Grimm, and welcome to the latest episode of Astrology Unbound. Now, today, I'm going to catch you up on all the news and how the astrology reflects that we're going to get you prepared for the winter solstice, and we're also going to reflect on this Gemini full moon that we just had and the implications on the path of Mercury, which has just today gone direct as I'm recording this.

Speaker 1:Last week was the inaugural episode of Season 2, and we had a lot to cover. That was definitely a catch-up episode on everything we missed during the weeks that we were away from the podcast, and on this episode we are going to also catch up on some of the things that deserve a follow-up, including the case of Luigi Mangione, who, I believe at the time that I recorded episode one, he was either just identified as the prime suspect, and, anyways, I didn't really have time to dive into his astrology on that episode, but I'm going to review his birth chart a little bit further today. I'm also going to again reflect on that Gemini full moon, which you know passed today, but I think there are implications on you know, society and on you on a personal level that we can cover, and then again, I will also get us, you know, prepared for the winter solstice. So, right off the bat, though, I want to cover Luigi Mangione's chart. So, as of now, it seems that you know again, he is the prime suspect. There are people who you know remind me that, you know, this is a legal system in which we are innocent until proven guilty. So I recognize that he is only a suspect at this time. But, um, you know, his charts definitely reflects, uh, the sort of personality of somebody who is fairly volatile.
Speaker 1:Um and when, when they said in the news reports that at the time that he was 26 years old, they weren't specifying any kind of birthday, birth time. And just by the way, to catch up, uh, on this situation, I'm sure there's some people who are like, who is this guy? Well, you know, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, brian Thompson, was gunned down about two weeks ago, I believe on December 4th, in New York City, and at the time it was you know just all they knew. It looked like a lone shooter who escaped on a bicycle, on an e-bike, and they were wearing a hood and had this distinctive backpack and, anyways, they were trying to stitch the whole case together and eventually they arrived at this person in Altoona, pennsylvania, at a McDonald's I guess he was just posted up there and somebody reported him based on the you know just sort of the information that had been blasted out by the media so far, and they were apprehended and eventually identified as Luigi Mangione, and it sounds like he has a fairly atypical profile of someone in this position. He went to an Ivy League school school comes from a wealthy family. Um, however, he seems to have gone through some sort of painful back injury eventually and he had a lot of sleepless nights and a lot of chronic pain management. Anyways, he left behind a manifesto that was sort of a screed against the entire healthcare industry and, you know, just sort of underscoring the, the downsides of a, you know, profit motive or profit driven industry in this, in this case, you know. So. Anyways, there's a lot of context that I'm not going to cover on this podcast, but essentially, you know he has become one of the most notorious figures in the public consciousness in the last two weeks and I do think it's interesting that you know this has happened while Pluto is now in Aquarius and sort of reflecting a bit of an anti-establishment, you know, sort of view that may be starting to seep in to the collective, but also with Saturn being in Pisces.
Speaker 1:I've talked about this for years now, that this was going to be a new sort of perspective coming in about health and healthcare and how we manage health, health, and while I don't think that this event is well. I mean it is kind of a well, it is kind of a wake up call for people to well. I mean to realize, like, how bad it's gotten in a way for some people. I mean, a lot of people out there obviously are not resorting to those motives, but many people in this country that I'm recording in the United States are dealing with chronic pain management. They don't have like a clear recourse, they don't have a place always to treat the pain or they deal with it in very unhealthy ways and on layer on top of that, the fact that so many people in the United States are unhealthy to begin with and therefore they need all these expensive, you know, procedures or all this expensive care. So there's a lot of layers to it that, again, I'm not going to fully cover, but it does embody sort of the transits that are going on right now and Saturn and Neptune still are gaining in proximity. They're not going to actually meet up in Pisces, but they will get pretty close next year while the North Node is in Pisces.
Speaker 1:So while I'm not suggesting that this is just the beginning of similar copycat incidents, I do think that there is, you know, further introspection going on and reflection on how we address the healthcare crisis that exists, especially in the United States. I mean because it is a crisis. I mean when we think about, again, just the sheer amount of people that are unhealthy, whether it's through their nutritional choices or lifestyle choices or just their economic circumstances. You know there is this sort of notion that well, yeah, the healthcare industry does benefit from people being sick and needing care. The medical industrial complex benefits from people being sick, so it's not really healthcare, it's sick care, and I think that that has been discussed in myriad ways over the last, you know, many decades, so that's not necessarily anything new.
Speaker 1:But while I think that, while I think this act in of itself is I mean, it's clearly a violent, reckless act. It's like it is reflecting this collective grief and frustration over either individual health crises or the loss of a loved one, maybe to opioid addiction or other chronic health issues that were never covered by a health insurance company. Or, you know, watching maybe someone freely choose to become unhealthy and then deal with the. Or you know watching, maybe someone freely choose to become unhealthy and then deal with the consequences. You know, and there's people in this country who even, you know, feel a bit of a resentment that they have to pay for people's poor health choices. So, whatever side of you know the aisle or the spectrum you're on, there are reasons to be disappointed in the structure of our health system and to be kind of dismayed by the personal choices that people are making, which again are sort of influenced by a number of things like big agriculture, fast food industry, big pharma and so on. So while again, you know, while you can debate, obviously like his actions in and of themselves, there is obviously a larger issue going on here, which is that during the Pluto and Capricorn era, I do think that industries became increasingly consolidated and impenetrable, and you know there is a concentration of power essentially in some of these industries and the system itself has become very rigid in a way where, you know, it almost seems as though people with power are marching in lockstep together to ensure certain outcomes. In in the case of the healthcare industry and the medical industry, it does feel sometimes like either the solutions are frustratingly missing or the prognosis or the sort of diagnostic process is very suspect, where, you know, people are being treated with all kinds of pharmaceuticals that may or may not actually be helping them. You know they may be keeping them in a revolving door of you know health expenses and addiction. So you know, I mean so there's a mountain of you know societal issues underneath.
Speaker 1:What happened, right, and what's the reason I'm kind of going into all this, by the way, is because of his birth chart. I mean, his birth chart is showing that he is part of a sub-generation of crusaders, essentially. And I was watching a few other astrology videos about his charts before I posted mine and I was pretty disappointed, actually, in the lack of discussion about this. I haven't watched every astrologer's video about Luigi, so maybe I'm missing someone here, but for the most part, I saw a lot of generic takes Like, oh, sun-mars conjunction, you know Mercury-Saturn conjunction, but like they weren't really contextualizing it. So you know what makes his chart.
Speaker 1:Instead of looking at his chart in a vacuum like that, oh, what are his aspects? It's like, okay, no, no, no. Like think about the context in which he was born. Like, think about that actual, is there anything going on in that sort of cohort of people? So like, for example, people born in you know, 89 and 90 have that sort of Capricorn Stellium, saturn, uranus, neptune. That is a marker of something, a marker of, basically, idealists who are trying to reimagine the system. You also have, you know, other cohorts within that, like in part of 1989, you had the South Node on Regulus. Those are star seeds and people who come from royalty and so on.
Speaker 1:So, like you have to dissect someone's chart, oftentimes from the perspective of like their sub-generation or their sub-sub-generation, and understand that souls come in, come, enter this world in groups. So it's not, it's like anyone from, let's say, his month, especially early may 98. They're all crusaders in some way, because they all all have Pluto squaring, the lunar nodes, which are all activating, antares and Aldebaran, which are the two fixed stars associated with the crusades. Aldebaran is more pertaining to military strategy. Antares is the berserker, the belligerent star, and it's very unwieldy.
Speaker 1:But in this case his actions, his words, his manifesto, etc. Etc are linked up with a fight that he's been on in multiple lifetimes. I believe that some of his lifetimes have been fighting for religious causes or for a religious war. Being part of a military organization is definitely in his past life and also observing strict religious codes is definitely in his past life and also observing strict religious codes is part of his past lives. So again, it's bigger than just having a Sun-Mars conjunction or a Mars-Chiron opposition, which can be tough. It's that he is part of a again subgroup that have been either preachers, religious warriors you know, they have studied scriptures maybe they have been part of scientific revolutions as well that push back against religion.
Speaker 1:But either way, his chart is very ideological and zealous and whatever cause that he would take up in his life, it was bound to be sort of at the extreme margins of whatever that cause entailed. So you know, again, there are certain people who will just have a conversation at the dinner table about, you know, the healthcare industry, their opinions about it. They will be very quiet about it, though, in public. But people who have Aldebaran and Antares in their chart are much more likely to be highly vocal about, you know, their belief systems, and they will be on a crusade of some sort. And with this chart it's like with Pluto in the mix, it can almost be destructive in a way, or it can kind of go to the ends of the earth and it can go to those extremes to vouch for a certain position. To vouch for a certain position. So his actions were part of a paradigm shift in a national conversation at least, if not a global conversation, about how we manage health personally, socially, collectively, governmentally and so on.
Speaker 1:And again, I've been on this pedestal for many years about, you know how we have to reevaluate the way that we take care of ourselves. You know, in light of everything that's happened the past few years, right, like the pandemic was a wake-up call in the sense that you know it did highlight the underlying comorbidities as well. So it wasn't just about the COVID virus, it was about also our susceptibility to certain outcomes based on what we choose to do each day. Now, I think that's just objectively true, right, Like you don't have to be politically leaning one way or the other to agree that. Like politically leaning one way or the other, to agree that, like, yes, there can be pathogens in the environment, but in some cases, our own response to that pathogen can be based on our physical health, like our level of healthiness. Now, obviously, some pathogens don't care about, like how many miles you run a day or how much you exercise. Some viruses, some bacteria, literally just you know, take out the host regardless of their fitness. I totally acknowledge that.
Speaker 1:But in the context of this previous pandemic, it did highlight the need to be really mindful of you know your daily habits, your nutrition, so that you are more resilient if and when the next pathogen comes, if and when that next pathogen has a higher mortality rate, or you know if it attacks other vulnerabilities within the human body or the system itself. You know, and also the pandemic I think gave people a reason to be more reflective of like other types of either, well, other types of health. I mean, you know a lot of people turn towards spirituality during the pandemic to either make sense of it or to explore ways to again achieve resiliency. And in my case, I did look into spirituality, not for the first time in my life, but definitely like went all in on it during the pandemic, with all the sort of time that I had and you know, coming out of it I have adopted more of a holistic view of health myself, and I think a lot of people have as well.
Speaker 1:And of course, there's a lot of misinformation out there about, you know, what is a healthy way of living versus not, and is there a quick fix or not? So you know, I know I'm kind of getting into a lot of tangents here, but I think this is important because again this does foot back to the Pisces-Saturn, or sorry, yeah, the Pisces-Saturn and the Pisces-Neptune transits, which is that I mean. Actually, if we want to actually live well in the long run, it's like it all hinges on what we do day in and day out. So again, there is like an undercurrent and underpinning to this whole discussion about healthcare, I think, because again you can be disgruntled about the healthcare industry and how they are profit-driven and their coverage is really spotty for arbitrary reasons or whatnot, but there is an underlying question of, well, why do we even rack up so many healthcare expenses and why is health care so expensive? Right, and it is partly based on individual health choices as well. So it's not just a matter of saying, like well, are our health care companies evil or something. It's like okay, but like why do you even have to file a claim in the first place? So, um, anyways, like all of these connecting threads will continue to be illuminated and discussed while saturn and neptune are still in pisces, like that's really my point, and I think, when they actually meet up in um aries, like there could be a totally new health system under underway at that point, um, and nothing changes overnight.
Speaker 1:But I do think healthcare is one of the prime focus areas in especially the US, but also the world, over the next few years, because another aspect of Saturn and Pisces is that there are toxins in the environment. There are toxins in the environment, whether that be, you know, radioactive material or pollution just like forever chemicals and plastics that enter the body. There are all kinds of toxins that lead to increased rates of cancer and declining life expectancy, especially in the US and other developed, in some cases, probably other developed nations have suffered from that same fate. But you know, we are going to take a good hard look at that, especially when Chiron goes into Taurus, you know, in a couple years, like we will look at healing the planet, healing the earth, being more environmentally conscious and being more conscious of what we ingest and what we put in our bodies.
Speaker 1:And I think that that is in some direct or indirect way connected to what happened on December 4th in New York. It's obviously an event that rattled a lot of people and scared a lot of people, for good reason. I mean, it was a violent act, but it also is a tip of the iceberg thing where it does reflect a lot of underlying issues that other people have with the health system or that they have with their own health or whatnot. So anyways, his chart was meant to be and again, I think there's free will, by the way, I'm not saying he just couldn't help his actions, I think that he chose to do those things. But his chart, in some way, shape or form, was destined to be, you know, changing the conversation, changing people's minds in some way, even if it was as a professor or something.
Speaker 1:And you know his son, mara's conjunction with the Chiron opposition shows that he was injured. In my opinion he was injured on the battlefield in a past life. He may have suffered from all kinds of physical trauma in a past life, maybe even in this lifetime, especially through the father or someone in the father's family on that side of the family. I wonder if there's a little bit of trauma there. Family on that side of the family. I wonder if there's a little bit of trauma there.
Speaker 1:And based on the degree theory, his son is at 15 degrees, pretty much. Mar is at 17,. Chiron at 15. It would show that between the ages of 15 and 17, he may have also had some type of injury, although when Uranus reached those degrees of Taurus. Potentially that also sparked an injury. Potentially that also sparked an injury. But you know, I think 15 to 17 is a that will be. Those will be years to reflect on and I'm sure something may even come out about those years as people do more like sort of profiles about him.
Speaker 1:He does have a son Uranus Square and Mars Uranus Square so that makes him more prone to like sudden volatility, sudden acts of violence, impulsivity. But also it goes both ways, like maybe he experienced an unexpected act of violence between the ages of 15, 17, but maybe even going back to 12 with the Uranus degree. And I wonder about the ages of seven and eight, because Pluto and the north and south nodes are around those degrees. Maybe there was a transformation there of like thought process, education, maybe he was taken into a different educational environment. And now I don't think we have his exact rising yet. By the way, I'm sure some of you are like well, what's his rising sign? I heard that he's actually a Leo rising, but I don't have any data to corroborate that, so I don't know if that was just like someone heard about that. But it would make sense that he's a Leo rising, to be honest, because it would put his Saturn-Mercury conjunction in the ninth house of higher education and he was fairly well, very successful in that environment. Well, very successful in that environment and and um, so, anyways, the injury he sustained in that past life on the battlefield carried with him in this lifetime.
Speaker 1:Um, he suffered from a lower back injury. It sounds like he had surgery uh to uh, you know, attend to that, but also it was his lower back, I think, because he has Pluto close to Antares, which literally Antares rules the lower back and the fifth lumbar region of the spine. So to give you an example of how accurate this can be, when I posted the video about his chart, I got a lot of comments from people who were born around the same time saying I've had lower back issues as well. I've had lower back issues and in my own chart I have Mercury at seven degrees of Sag, mars at nine Gemini. So I'm active, I have those Antares, el Debron stars activated and you know my father was paralyzed in a motorcycle accident and you know his, he had his spinal cord severed, I believe, around the don't quote me on this, I don't know if it was exactly the fifth lumbar, but it was in his lower back. So you know the lower back thing plays out a lot when people have like seven, eight, nine degrees of sag in their charts. I've noticed, or maybe even 10 degrees, but mostly I've noticed those final degrees of that first decan. Now if you're listening to this episode and you're born in early 98, or you have something around 789 Sag, like don't freak out. I'm not saying that everybody is destined to have a lower back issue there with those placements, but it does make it more likely or more. It's more common. So he was more injury prone.
Speaker 1:And then I talked about how he has a Virgo moon which, broadly speaking, does match the fact that his mother has had health issues. If he's a Leo rising, his Virgo moon would be probably around like 21, 22 degrees of Virgo specifically. Potentially it's a 22 degree Virgo moon which would put it at a critical degree. And you know he's had Saturn and Neptune opposing his moon this year and in recent years with Neptune. So that would definitely have exacerbated the mother's health issues and with Saturn opposing his moon this year he's probably felt very pessimistic. Saturn opposing his moon this year he's probably felt very pessimistic, lonely, isolated, and Saturn on the south node has definitely been difficult, I would imagine, and has probably made him feel lonely, disconnected from social systems. I think that February 29th was a big day for him, actually, because Saturn, the sun and Mercury were all on his south node, so he may have had received tough news around that time. He may have, um, you know, uh started to shift his thinking a little bit in the towards somewhat of a darker perspective with all those nodal uh transits and, you know, the Saturn-Mercury conjunction also, naturally, is more pessimistic, a little bit more likely to be maybe not close-minded but like to be fairly a little stubborn.
Speaker 1:I think about something, but I feel like with the Mercury-Saturn conjunction, it has a lot to do with his past lives either transcribing religious texts you know, back before we had printers or copy machines. I could see him in some kind of like religious monastery, just like making copies of the Bible or maybe some other, or the Quran or some other document, document, um. And I could also see him marching in like a military group, like, and working with uh well, just like you know, doing everything very methodically and in accordance with very strict rules that were observed, which, again, like I said earlier, could have been religious rules or there could have been like specific techniques that his military group deployed that he had to follow. But you know, because the moon is ruled by Mercury and his moon is in Virgo I talked about this in my video last week, like intuitively, like you would basically use that to figure out. Okay, his mother was probably a general in his past life that he reported to, and I think his father may have been more so, somebody that he was in conflict with but maybe fighting against as an enemy, but his mother was probably a highly respected general in his military group. So again, the Saturn-Mercury conjunction is following orders, dispositing that. I mean that Virgo moon, with the moon being the mother, it all kind of adds up.
Speaker 1:And if he's a Leo rising Chiron's in his fourth house, which would show that the mother again may have had some kind of health issue or injury at some point. But the father was more likely. I mean, the father could have been someone he fought with on the battlefield as well, to be honest, but his father is more likely somebody who he actually was um an adversary with on the battlefield. But when I look at this chart I just see someone who's kind of like waking up in this lifetime to just like instant sort of stress and instant attack and like an instant feeling of like lack of safety, because it almost feels like the enemy is at home in a way. Um, I just feel like there's a lot of discord here in the family, or the family.
Speaker 1:Um instilled a sense of like a notion in him that this is sort of like a dog eat dog sort of world maybe, and that you know, people have to be ambitious and people have to basically step over people to get to where they need, and that it's like a really cruel world and that he has to just kind of be very vigilant and watchful. I mean, it kind of paints a bit of a dark picture. To be honest, there's not a lot of, there's a lot of harshness in this chart for sure. So, again, I think that the ages of 15 to 17 are going to show up as being significant years for him. Somehow we will learn something about those years and again, like the Saturn transits have been really punishing right now on the South Node, I just feel like he has lost access to his structure, his foundation, and I think that you know, again, like I said in my video, he was, you know, obviously fighting for this intellectual cause and going on this crusade or whatever.
Speaker 1:But I think he was fighting not only on behalf of like himself and his views and other people who he deems, you know, as being victims of the healthcare system, but he was fighting on behalf of his mother who, again, probably wasn't a general on the battlefield in that past life, who was likely injured on that, you know, on that battlefield. And there's a lot of other things in this chart. Obviously, like Jupiter and Pisces amplifies to me, like the, you know, the potential for some kind of religious past. Um, maybe he was also, you know, maybe had some spiritual inclinations in a past life, although the saturn mercury conjunction is a little bit more pragmatic in a way. But uh, that hopefully that gives you, uh, just a sense of, you know, his, his again, how his astrology connects. I mean he, the Sun-Mars conjunction naturally, is going to make someone more impulsive. Opposite Chiron again, there's maybe a history of violence there, either in the family or in his own life, and you know, he may feel like he's been pushed down by somebody in his past. Again, I think it's 15 to 17 years old, but, like uh, he may have a lot of resentment that he harbors towards, uh, you know certain certain people because you know there there was some violence in that past and a sense that he had to constantly watch out for danger. I just feel like the cortisol level levels are kind of high there, um and uh.
Speaker 1:I want to look at his draconic chart though. So the draconic chart is the chart of the soul before it enters the body, and some people believe that you can look at your draconic Pluto to, you know, decipher when you were born in your past life. I don't really buy that. I've done many readings for people where their past lives were much more recent than their Pluto. Their draconic Pluto would suggest. But looking at his chart, again using an approximate birth time, so just take this with a grain of salt. I mean, you know he might not be a Leo rising. I have to confirm that.
Speaker 1:I don't think we have confirmation of that yet, but looking at his draconic chart, it's interesting. I mean, you know it's showing that he's a. He's an aries, moon, um, and a uh pisces rising. Again, that's only if he was a leo rising, though he has a sun mars conjunction. Wow, this is powerful. So I'm reacting to his draconic chart for the first time. I've not looked at it until now. So he has a Sun-Mars conjunction and I get this At nine degrees of Sag is where his Mars is.
Speaker 1:His Draconic Mars is at nine degrees of Sagittarius on Antares, and the Sun is at seven Sag, where his Pluto is opposing Chiron, which is very close to Aldebaran. Seven degrees of Gemini there. So like you can't get more synchronistic than that. So that is to me the best confirmation we've had so far that all these intuitive downloads I'm getting about his birth chart applying the technique of the fixed stars in my own past life sort of style of readings that gives us even more validation that he has fought in the Crusades and the religious wars. So yeah, and he has Draconic Pluto and Gemini.
Speaker 1:You know when was Pluto at 28 Gemini? That would have been like the 1920s or something. If I let's see, when was Pluto at that area of Gemini? Yeah, I mean you have to go back into, let's find it, the 1911 period. Well interesting, I mean that's, you know, towards the outbreak of World War I. But I want to see, you know, in the way way past, like what's going on there, when was Pluto and Gemini in the distant past? If it was, it would have been like nah, it looks like it was probably not, but anyway. So I think, just like the case to be made here on this podcast, is that you know he very clearly fought in the Crusades and you know other types of religious wars.
Speaker 1:He has Mercury and Scorpio, saturn and Scorpio in his draconic chart, which again is the chart of the soul before it enters the body, and it sets the north node to zero Aries, by the way. So the way to create a draconic chart you can just look this up on astrocom but, like, the way you create the draconic chart is you calibrate it according to a zero degree Aries north node. So if your north node is at zero Leo, it would be a trine going backwards 120. It would put all the planets backwards 120 degrees. If, going backwards 120, it would put all the planets backwards 120 degrees. If you were born with the north node at zero aries, exactly, your draconic chart would not look any different.
Speaker 1:Um, but for most people it recalibrates the chart in a significant way. Um, you know he has, wow, yeah, the moon in aries. I mean that, that's, that's the, that's the moon placement for, like a soldier, a warrior of some kind. So, again, regardless of what you think about his actions, whether you are, you know, saying hey, this person had a great point, this industry is really corrupt, or if you think it's completely vile and there's no excuse and everybody should abide by the golden rule, whatever you are, wherever you are on the spectrum, it's none of my business rule. Whatever you are, wherever you are on the spectrum, it's none of my business.
Speaker 1:The point is, astrologically, we have just looked up his draconic chart and we have just basically affirmed that, hey, this guy has fought in the Crusades in a past life and, again, he's probably had other lifetimes in the intervening years. But what's interesting too is that, based on a 1230 pm birth time that I've just randomly established, he is an eight degree Pisces rising, which literally is the position of a south node. So there's something serendipitous about that, in the sense that perhaps the 1230 pm birth time I chose randomly, I don't know, maybe it is his birth time somehow, but otherwise it's interesting that, even if it's not his birth time, the universe is giving me a signal that hey, we're putting his rising sign at eight Pisces, squaring Aldebaran and Antares. You're onto something, evan. So that's really powerful. You know where do we go from here? Mercury is going to continue to square Saturn over the next couple days, again, regardless of your assessment of his actions, sort of the you know whatever you want to call it, the you know whatever you think about it, and it's still changing the perspective on.
Speaker 1:I think it is shifting the conversation around healthcare and many people harbor, like a lot of I don't know, disgruntled feelings about the healthcare industry. I don't know, I just hope that we have a larger conversation about health, just broadly right, like we don't have to make this about just one facet. It doesn't just have to be about the healthcare industry. Again, there's something underneath that which is, you know, that the average human being just sits down most of the day. You know, the chair is just as deadly as cigarettes. I mean, there are lifestyle choices that either we make or that we've been roped into that have been deleterious to our own health, which again creates the need for health care in the first place. So it's like, I think, with Pluto being an Aquarius now, people will adopt, like, different models of, like you know, health care that are somehow able to bring down the cost, or people live in almost like their own little localized communities where they live off of local food products or produce and they live healthy and they buy into cheaper healthcare systems, because it's a community of only healthy people. I don't know. There's all kinds of things that we can imagine with the Aquarian energy of groups and communities. Imagine with like the Aquarian energy of like groups and communities. Or, you know, we will, you know, decide that the profit motive does spoil, you know, health outcomes essentially, and that we need to change that model so that people aren't just being kept, you know, in that revolving door of sickness.
Speaker 1:So now I want to transition, though, to another section which you know. I want to reflect on the Gemini full moon and through the lens of some of the stuff that's happening in the news actually. So you know, we did have the Gemini full moon a few hours before I started filming this December 15th, and you know, the Gemini full moon, it was interesting because Mercury did station direct a few hours later. So, in theory, some people are gaining more kind of clarity and more confidence in their decision making, which is great, or maybe feel more empowered to finally sign the contract, book the travel, you know, make the purchase and so on, but something I didn't really lean into in my videos, but I will address here. You know, is that there was a square with Neptune. The Sun and Moon were squaring Neptune and the Sun is starting to square Neptune over the next three days. So the Neptune square is somewhat important. I mean, it wasn't an exact. It was not an exact square, it's like four degrees off. It was an approaching square, so it hadn't really built up yet.
Speaker 1:But I think there's some validity to the claim that the full moon may have created confusion or tiredness for you exhaustion. It may have led to vivid dreams. I know a lot of people had vivid dreams around this full moon. That's not surprising. So if you feel exhausted right now and you don't have a lot of clarity, that's okay. If you feel like you got the clarity, though, then you know more power to you. But I wouldn't like be too dismayed if you feel like you're a little stuck still. But know that you know.
Speaker 1:As Mercury squares Saturn again for the third time in this Mercury cycle, people are going to be able to focus more on a set of specific things to be productive, to get things done, and Mercury is trining Mars right now. So that's giving more power to our intellect in a positive way and not an argumentative or abrasive way. But Mercury has been in Sag for a long time. I mean, if you look at the ingress of Mercury in Sag let me cue it up really quick this was November 2nd that it went into Sag. It's not going to leave Sag until January 8th of 2025. So it's spending over two months in its detriment, in a detrimental position, and you know, mercury in Sag wants the bigger perspective. It doesn't care so much about the details, it just wants to tell a compelling story or to hook into a compelling belief system. And retrograde and squaring Saturn opposing Jupiter, a lot of people again are changing their perspectives, are thinking about you know a range of things differently. You know a range of things differently. So I think beliefs are changing.
Speaker 1:But also, as I predicted a few weeks ago, the aviation industry is under a lot of strain, is being strained right now and it is by this drone situation in New Jersey. So, with Pluto and Aquarius also ruling, unidentified phenomena in a way, and because, well, I mean, you know, Aquarian can be kind of alien in a way. But you know, I also think that Saturn and Neptune, when they conjoin, this can also be associated with like mystery, mystifying experiences, and right now it's with Mercury and Sag and Sag ruling long-term flight, like I talked about back in November when I was making predictions for this month. It was bound to create all kinds of chaos in the travel industry, in the aviation industry and with, like this whole idea of like boundaries being crossed. So here we have these mysterious drones hovering in the airspace in New Jersey, new York, and airports being temporarily either shut down or runways being closed. You know this is a serious issue and a lot of people have different theories about them.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to spew just like my own theories out of a vacuum. I'm just going to look at the astrology here and tell you there's two things going on. Potentially Number one, saturn, is in Pisces, so it's not impossible that some of these drones are originating from like some kind of base on the water. Maybe not, but also with Pluto opposing the World War II, pluto I've talked about this for years now. When Pluto's in Aquarius, it's like going to highlight the whole idea of nuclear and nuclear power and nuclear reactors and radioactivity, because Pluto is associated with nuclear power number one. But the reason in Aquarius it's so significant is because, again, it's creating a hard aspect to the two-degree Pluto and Leo, which you know was present in the World War II chart in 1939. So, you know, I've just always felt like Pluto and Aquarius is going to bring up this idea of nuclear and, you know, russia is oftentimes implicated in history when, like, we have these like Saturn-Neptune conjunctions that are coming up here.
Speaker 1:So I think that there is a possibility and I have heard this in the Twitterverse essentially but like it kind of makes sense that maybe these drones are commissioned by the government to look for radioactive material to detect that I mean, that's totally possible. Like, when I heard that story I was like, yeah, I mean that kind of checks with what I've been saying and predicting. Now there was some something about how this originated in Ukraine. I don't know, I'm not a foreign policy expert and I'm not tracking these stories closely enough to make any claims about that. But you know, certainly, with also Saturn in Pisces and Neptune in Pisces ruling over toxins in the environment with Pisces, you have to wonder if these drones are trying to detect something in the environment. Like, maybe this is a biochemical issue.
Speaker 1:And I'm not trying to create fear, I just think that this, you know needs to be talked about, might actually be trying to help us and trying to find something in the environment that is actually very toxic, that they don't want to create alarm around by warning people about it, like without knowing for sure if it's present. So you're not going to see a PSA about hey, like we might be all living in this radioactive soup or something that's causing all these cancers. They're not just going to come out and say that, so they're going to be very covert about it. These cancers they're not just going to come out and say that, so they're going to be very covert about it. So, yeah, I mean Saturn, neptune and Pisces. This is a lot about health Again. Even the drones thing could come back to health. Yes, it could be some extraterrestrial thing, but probably not right. Like when I watch these videos, I'm like this is definitely not like UAPs in that sense, and a lot of these videos, by the way, are either fabricated or these are people who are literally just taking videos of helicopters and they just clearly have never seen a helicopter in their life. I mean a lot of this stuff is just absolute drivel. I mean, don't believe what you see right now on social media Just because a video has 100,000 likes on TikTok doesn't mean that there's any validity to it.
Speaker 1:Also, you know, something I want to highlight here with the drones and the Luigi case is that I think while Pluto is an Aquarius, increasingly we will see like advances in technology that become like they're. So these leaps are so advanced that they almost become dangerous to society. So like these leaps are so advanced that they almost become dangerous to society. So, like you know, he 3D printed his gun. The drones are theoretically interfering with airspace. Like technology is. You know, there's pros and cons to technology and when Pluto has been in Aquarius, historically there have been major advances in weaponry and weapons technology. There have been major advances in weaponry and weapons technology. So when pluto's in aquarius now it's like we're going to have all these cyber offensive and defensive systems, cyber technology, drones, 3d printing, potentially even like psychic attacks. You know, neural link may be advantageous for someone who's trying to overcome paralysis, but it also, could, like literally help a company like hack your mind. So there's going to be these technologies that are very fascinating but also very destructive.
Speaker 1:And also social media itself is being seen as this amazing marketplace of ideas, which I personally tout as a good thing. I mean, I believe that social media is a good thing. I believe that we should honor free speech and all these things for the most part. Like, I believe that, like you know, the free speech thing is like something I don't want to like totally venture into right now. I understand that there are examples of where someone says something that you know like yelling fire in a crowded theater. Like there's examples where you know, just saying whatever you want can be problematic. But, like, what I'm saying is I generally believe that we should allow for a free exchange of ideas, a free marketplace of ideas. Right, we should have access to information that benefits us or at least helps us explore, just like beliefs, ideas. My Mars, gemini, is always going to believe that people should have access to a range of ideas and they can arrive at the truth through those ideas. Like we should not have people like regulating what can and can't be said because that is dangerous in the hands of the wrong people.
Speaker 1:But with Pluto being an Aquarius now, one of the dominant themes will be again, really, really promising technology that gets in the wrong hands or is painted as dangerous and then is regulated and taken out of the society. That is going to be a push and pull effect throughout this Pluto and Aquarius transit, and so, really, just like, have a clear set of values around technology, like AI, for example, should it be allowed to displace jobs? Or should AI be allowed to become sentient in a way where it can strategize with other AI beings and decide to? Maybe there will be eventually a government coup propagated by AI? I mean, technology is reaching this sort of escape velocity, right, where it kind of does have a mind of its own, but it's also increasingly powerful in the wrong hands and the right hands. So, you know, regulation of like technology is going to be like front and center over the next 19 years. Like that will be one of the dominant themes.
Speaker 1:But remember, no matter what, like, whether it's drones or this UnitedHealthcare situation, there is a backdrop of health, health, pollution, toxins, you know, in the environment, right, like this is all. Like you know, we're all trying to figure this out. Why are cancer rates so high? Why is the life expectancy dropping, declining? I mean like this is all happening before our eyes. And like, are we the frogs in boiling water? Right, like this is really serious. I mean, increasing amounts of young people are getting cancers and, with Mars retrograde in Leo, I'm guaranteeing you, like cardiac issues are going to be highlighted. There's going to be questions around like what's in our blood and why are young people having heart issues so young? I mean these are legitimate questions to be asking and there's a bevy of potential causes that I'm not going to explore right now. There's a bevy of potential causes that I'm not going to explore right now.
Speaker 1:But, yeah, I mean this is we're also dealing with, you know, even Saturn semi-square to Pluto right now, pretty much for the first time since, I believe, may of this year. I mean that Pluto Saturn semi-square is like one of the first major aspects since the Saturn Pluto conjunction, which happened in early 2020. So we're almost seeing how maybe sedentary lifestyles, even during the lockdown, are leading to some, you know, unsavory outcomes. I think there's a lot of other things going on too, but like, anyways, I wanted to just provide that context. And then, finally, the winter solstice is on December 21st and I will be publishing a newsletter about this, so do check out my sub stack for that and all my previous, you know, newsletters, which again cover a lot of detail about and that's where all my predictions are and it covers details about the new and full moons, retrograde cycles, and I also provide manifestation guides, release rituals, journal prompts. So, again, be sure to subscribe to my sub stack.
Speaker 1:But for this winter solstice, we are seeing, luckily, pluto not being in sorry, not being in Capricorn for the first time in 17 years during the winter solstice, when the sun is in Capricorn. So for the cardinal signs, this is unimpeded restoration, a revitalization of your goals. You're getting that spark back and, yeah, I mean it's a wonderful solstice to set your goals for at least the next six months. You know so that during the summer solstice, to set your goals for at least the next six months, you know so that during the summer solstice June 20th of 2025, you know you're really having a peak experience, you're reaching a pinnacle, you're reaching a major milestone and celebrating that.
Speaker 1:So, on the winter solstice, this is when the sun, at least in the northern hemisphere, the sun is, you know, at its southern most point in the horizon. We have minimal daylight. In the northern hemisphere, the sun is, you know, at its southernmost point in the horizon. We have minimal daylight. In the northern hemisphere. The sun is over, you know, over the Tropic of Capricorn. There and when the sun represents the spirit, right, because it rises and sets every day, it is consistent. And so, with the sun representing our spirit, our vitality, our goals, our ambitions, our spirit, our vitality, our goals, our ambitions, the logos, conscious mind it is, you know, obviously it's something that it needs to be kept alive. It represents that eternal spirit. But when it dims, starts to almost dim out during the winter solstice, there's a feeling of like foreboding that, oh my gosh, is the sun dying, is this the dying of the light? But every winter solstice it starts to climb back to the north and that represents the again, the revitalization, the rebirth, the resurrection.
Speaker 1:And as we my substack my forthcoming post to get the horoscopes for how you can prepare for this particular solstice. But on this winter solstice, remember that Pluto is no longer in Capricorn, so the transformation journey of Pluto being in Capricorn in the last 16 years is no longer I mean it has concluded. So with this winter solstice it's like okay, what kind of spark do you want to create in the Capricorn ruled house of your chart, unimpeded by Pluto? Now you know how can you create that spark again without having to maybe worry as much about these sort of like sudden collapses or moments of destruction that Pluto can bring about. But also look at the Pisces ruled house of your chart, because the Sun is being disposited by Saturn in Pisces and Saturn shows us where we have to dedicate slow and steady effort towards something after this winter solstice. So Saturn demands sacrifice. It is about delayed gratification, and so look to the Pisces house of your charts to see where you are chiseling away at your goals and where you are mastering something and overcoming delays and challenges. So again, look to the sub stack for the details around that.
Speaker 1:But I think this winter solstice can be very powerful again in the sense that the sun is not really forming any negative aspects. You know it's not like it was in Sag when it was squaring Saturn, squaring Neptune. You know it's just squaring the lunar nodes around this time actually. So if anything, this is a reset and a pivot and again a spark of life in that merciless darkness where you know you are remembering that you have a life force and that you have this eternal flame inside you that will not die out. So reaffirm that. Reaffirm that this flame will not die out and reaffirm that you can have a peak experience by the summer solstice, with a midpoint check-in, by the way, on the spring equinox, march 20th. So reverse engineer from that goal. Where do you want to be June 20th? How do you get there? Well, you create the spark in the Capricorn ruled house and you work steadily in the Pisces ruled house of your chart. So I know I cover a lot of ground today.
Speaker 1:I hope this podcast is really valuable to you. Thank you again for supporting me. I know I took a few weeks off in between seasons, but I appreciate those of you who have come back and returned to listen to this episode and my future episodes. Don't forget, by the way, to download my 2025 horoscopes. That's going to give you a lot of details, including, you know, some details that you could utilize, you know, on your ascent to the summer solstice, so you know.
Speaker 1:Those videos also cover the new and full moons, again, the key retrograde dates. I do a custom ranking of each month for your zodiac sign, so definitely don't sleep on those horoscopes. They will really help you carve out a path to success in 2025. And it's a crazy year. We have all the planets all the outer planets and social planets pretty much shifting signs. Most of them are shifting into a fire or air sign. So things are going to happen fast and you're not gonna be able to necessarily plan in the moment, last minute, so plan ahead with these horoscopes. So, anyways, thank you so much. I'm Evan Nathaniel Grimm and I will see you on the next episode, take care.
