Ciao Friends,
I made Wednesday’s podcast early because the upcoming week is one of those weeks and I FELT that Wednesday is going to be so busy and hectic that it would be a good idea to get the podcast done ahead of schedule.
I cover the week in detail, tell stories about how it might manifest and finish with some horoscopes for the Full Moon in Aquarius on the 19th of August.
Here’s the chart for Wednesday:
I’ll surely be making Instagram reels on all this but if you know your signs of the Zodiac you’ll be able to see Mars and Jupiter together at 16º Gemini (2 o’clock), Saturn at 17º Pisces (5 o’clock), Venus at 11 Virgo (11 o’clock), Moon flying through Sagittarius (8 o’clock) and an altogether VERY MUTABLE changeable sky. ❌ all points of the cross activated.
See also: Mercury is RETROGRADE at ZERO degrees and moving back towards Uranus.
See also: the Sun is moving forwards to create a square aspect with Uranus (90º apart.)
I’ve been on the early morning yoga train for the past few days and I’m very pleased with myself. Better for my knees. Better for my mind. BREATHING.
Spending time really paying attention to my thoughts and saying “ok, that’s a good idea, but not now…” Focus on being here now. Focus on this feeling of breathing and stretching. Celebrate this day, this blue sky. Be here now. Breathe.
Breathe.
Stay here, stay in this moment, you’ll thank yourself later. Breathe.
Breathe.
I don’t think I breathe properly in general, it’s amazing what an hour of actually breathing does for your day. Gemini rules the lungs and with Mars and Jupiter in Gemini it’s going to do wonders for your nervous system and mind.
On another note as I sit here with my tunes on, sun shining, coffee (I have one a week) and writing. This is a pretty dreamy set up for letting the ideas flow. The Gemini flow. 🔏📝 How will you direct the flow of all this high octane energy this week?
As I said in this week’s podcast, I PERSONALLY find this sort of mutable stress MUCH EASIER than the fixed resistance.
Mutable signs are changeable, they are the final sign of each season, they move, they cut things up, make things lighter, break-down, sift, share… the mutable signs were MADE TO MOVE. If you could see me dancing and typing. Peak mutability. 💃 So when the mutable signs get together and say, “move and change”, you do it!
You move but if you don’t manage to gather your mind, make decisions and think things through you’re just moving manically, pulled here and there. A SWARM.
Angry swarms, riots, groupies, fickle confusion is a manifestation of this energy. But if you differentiate, keep breathing and use this energy with lightness and creativity, then you’re a butterfly blessed with ideas and grace.
Alternatively, you’re in the hive, doing your bit. Venus in Virgo in opposition to Saturn in Pisces, a collective of individual worker bees collaborating to do simple things well, repeatedly. I really believe that WOMEN (Venus) and The Feminine… (I would go into a long speech about the feminine being more than women, dresses and sensuality but I need to stick to this story. HOWEVER, feminine listens and ATTRACTS it really doesn’t matter what you look like. )
The power of the feminine to be QUEEN BEE and organise the swarm is what we need to quell these riots. Police piss people off and don’t bring balm to the situation.
If you have an argument with your spouse, what helps more; saying “calm down” or getting to the bottom of the problem and then making up?
Microcosm, macrocosm. Same same.
Will the real Queen Bee please stand up and take the lead of this situation?
Why do bees turn angry?
Most of the time, there's a reason behind an agitated hive – a lost or dying queen, invasive pests, human disruptions or robbing bees trying to steal honey supplies. If you can identify the cause, you can work out how to solve the issue and get your bees back to their normal mellow state.
WHY?
Why wind people up?
TBC.
Also, side note I tried to find some examples of leaders and famous people who are Queens in cardology and the first one I found was Mussolini. 😅Probably not the perfect example “a Queen” in leadership BUT very very very interesting at how Queen energy can come in and thrive when the bees are all buzzed up and stressed.
(I’m now in a rabbit hole on the internet trying to understand what Mussolini wanted to create.) Here you are, good article.
“Many Italians, especially among the middle class, welcomed his authority. They were tired of strikes and riots, responsive to the flamboyant techniques and medieval trappings of fascism, and ready to submit to dictatorship, provided the national economy was stabilised and their country restored to its dignity. Mussolini seemed to them the one man capable of bringing order out of chaos.”
Interesting parallels in my Google searches about why bee hives swarm and why Mussolini was successful.
This morning I saw a grasshopper, a dead one, on the stairs. I thanked him for his sacrifice. I thanked him for showing me that if you spend all your time leaping from one thing to the next you might just end up dead on the staircase.
Saturn in Pisces is the grit in the oyster this week. ⚓️
Saturn (weight) in Pisces (Sea) is the anchor.
The boat can bob around on the water, but ultimately, it’s anchored. Not bolted to the ground, instead tethered to the seas of change.
Where is your heart anchored? What joy are you moving towards?
Venus opposite Saturn is usually a tricky aspect, it probably still is to be fair, but with Mars and Jupiter involved, there’s a way out of the tension that involves faith, communication, journeys and expanding your perception.
It’s also giving psychedelics, but hey! Horses for courses!
I received an email newsletter from Timo Armoo this morning:
Yikes.
But fitting.
MOVE with intention towards something that matters to you.
Many people I know are moving and changing. I know so many people in flux. Pluto retrogrades back to Capricorn in 2 weeks and the cauldron is being stirred. I guess there’s people out there who don’t know about the astrology and don’t know what they are in for but this year is about to turn the heat up.
💥
This isn’t to alarm you, it’s to inspire you. There’s always opportunities in times of big flux. The optimist knows this!
Change, the big changes are here. They might be totally invisible and internal. They might be all external and superficial. Who knows… I always said that when the financial system is hit that’s when most people will wake up from their slumber, so that will be interesting.
It’s a big week.
It’s highly highly energised, especially with the waxing moon. It could be frenetic, but if you remember to throw your anchor into the depths and trust that you are rooted as you fly then it could be a joyful week to remember. Just don’t overdo it! Say NO to some things. Try spinning 10 plates, not 30.
Join me on Monday for the Cardology Q&A an email will be sent to paid subscribers tomorrow with the zoom link! The podcast with horoscopes is also available for paid subscribers!
The class on YOUR SHADOW in the cards is at 7pm. https://www.francescaoddie.com/bookings
See you soon,

ONE MORE THING - try not to gossip this week. Remember that people who gossip to you about others will be doing the same behind your back and the desire to blame someone for something with words (Gemini) could be strong.
Also, resist the urge to overshare! Words, so many words. So much information.
Do you feel it already?
