[00:46] — Key Overview of November's Transits
"Not a lot of alignments, but we're going to talk about news and then we'll get into going into the interpretation of those alignments in more detail in about an hour." – Chris
3. Reflections on Recent Astrology and News (October 2025)
Mercury-Mars in Scorpio: Real-World Events
- Website Crash: Chris’s podcast website went offline during the Mercury-Mars conjunction in Scorpio – mirrored by global tech disruptions.
- Major News Events around Oct 19–20:
- Louvre jewelry heist: “High-stakes jewelry heist takes place... with thieves breaking into the Louvre and stealing valuable diamonds.” [16:05]
- AWS (Amazon Web Services) outage taking out large parts of the internet.
- Faulty Windows update bricks computers.
- East wing of the White House torn down for a Trump ballroom.
[11:55] — Archetypal Expression
"Each one of those is very archetypally perfect, right? ... Mercury things were disrupted or fucked up ... Mercury Mars brings intruders, it brings thieves, it brings parasites, it brings people who might hack your website or steal your paintings or valuable sculptures." – Austin
Classical Astrological Parallels:
- Chris and Austin quote ancient texts linking Mercury-Mars to theft, deceit, intrusion, and technology disruption.
- Firmicus: “...liars and adept at every evil deed... they use intelligence for all kinds of trickery...” [16:57]
- Valens: “...resort to forgery... embezzle, steal and loot...” [16:18]
[20:54] — Tech Failures and Astrology
"Even I went to order food... their ordering app wasn’t working because AWS was down. So sometimes there were very tangible ways that the interruption of technology... arose." – Chris
Pluto Stations Direct in Aquarius: Era Shift
- First Direct Station in Aquarius: Marks “the point of no return” into a new technological/social era.
- AI-generated content now matches/exceeds human content—chart correlates with Pluto’s station. [24:20]
- Elon Musk launches “Grokopedia”, an AI-driven alternative to Wikipedia.
[25:25] — AI & Pluto in Aquarius
"Just the feeling of the world has changed and there's no going back... we're now firmly in this new era... And I thought that was a wild story to me, hitting the headlines on that day that Pluto is stationing direct for the first time in Aquarius." – Chris
- Intellectual Property Concerns:
- “Throwing the idea of intellectual property into question...” – Austin [29:33]
[33:13] — Home Robots—Pluto in Aquarius Symbolism
"A company launched this home robot called Neo... you know that untold billions of dollars will be spent moving in this direction." – Chris
"All I can think of are horrible things with that robot... petting a cat to death, completely impassively, thinking that your child is laundry and trying to fold it..." – Austin
- AI Bubble Concerns and Economic Fragility:
- The tech sector is holding up the economy; comparisons to 1929 market crash re-emerge.
- "It brings a sort of state of structural paranoia... every little thing seems like it might be an indication that the whole thing's going to come down." – Austin [41:26]
[45:06] — Nuclear Weapons & Uranus in Gemini
“We citizens of planet Earth will be pretty lucky to get through Uranus in Gemini this time with no nuclear weapons being deployed.” – Austin
- Noteworthy News:
- US preparing for nuclear tests again; Uranus in Gemini historically links to atomic weapon events.
- Venezuela: US posturing echoes previous Saturn-Neptune conjunction interventions. [46:22]

- Double-check plans, back up data.
- Expect and prepare for delays and miscommunications.

-
Work With, Not Against, Saturn Lessons ([125:48]):
- Reflect on where you've faced increased responsibility or loss since March 2023.
- Seek support and assistance when Saturn stations—help from “benefics” is available.
- Prepare to “shore up” any structurally weak areas in your life before early December.
-
Watch for Creative Solutions Mid-Month:
- Mercury cazimi combined with Uranus opposition may prompt innovative, if disruptive, ideas—use them wisely.
Electional Astrology: Best Dates
- Nov 1, ~3:45 PM Local Time—Pisces Rising:
- Strong for fun, enjoyment, creativity, children.
- Avoid major 9th house themes (travel, belief systems) due to Mars.
- Alternate: Capricorn Rising (Early) with Venus on MC
- Good for relationships/career; avoid group-oriented launches due to 11th house Mars.
Closing Thoughts
Chris and Austin stress the power of astrological timing, noting the importance of applying versus separating aspects and the visceral impact of planetary movements on lived experience ([59:21]). They encourage listeners to continue tracking the cycles, grounding predictions in astrology's empirical, historical, and symbolic framework.
Final Forecast:
November 2025 is a month of transition and resolution, demanding flexibility, vigilance, and a willingness to adapt. Expect technical, social, and economic disruptions to be at the fore, particularly around Mercury retrograde and Mars-Uranus alignments. Supportive aspects later in the month offer the possibility of reconciling or repairing what’s shaken. Prepare now; fortify what matters, and remain open to surprises—both challenging and inspiring.
