We are entering what might be described as fruit bearing phase of the Jupiter Saturn synod initiated in December 2020 (21 Dec’20). The great conjunction as it was called ushering the age of Aquarius at 0º29’ Aquarius moving us out of 20 year of earth cycle of growth to air cycle of growth where ideas, mind, voice of individuals irrespective of their heritage & status in existing societal set up were supposed to create growth — a cycle of acceleration of bringing ahead of time, weird, eccentric thoughts & ideas from the masses seeking freedom from hierarchal system to physical form. We talked in detailed at the time about source of your prosperity for next 20 years (linked below). Last two years 2024 & 2025 we have had opening square phase of this cycle (peaking Aug’24, Dec’24 & Jun’25) whereby purpose of all that progress in a way was questioned and we might have even seen friction to our growth, the kind of friction that whittles down some fat from the edges and gives a lucrative shape or form to ideas seeded in 2020. It could have felt like last two years were growth inhibiting years but they could have been the ones that shaped us from within for prosperity & growth to come. This was the peak period when AI evolved from being chatbots to reasoning models with all the inhibition if you would like to draw parallels to your life. The bottlenecks now with this trine phase give way to ease with formal structure of our life & disciplined approach supporting our growth & purpose to be actualised in physical form.

Today though I want to dig deeper into the degrees this trine is highlighting in current trine of 31st August, versus whole 20 year cycle. Let’s dig in!

𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀

While this is a fire trine so there is a lot of passion involved but there is a lot of release of ego and individuality driven by eclipses we have had to allow oneself to evolve for this next phase of life may be through embracing something polar opposite to ourselves. You cannot find new avenues with ease if you are not allowing yourself to be at ease to let the current evolve you. We evolve from some sort of protest against a system we feel is inhibiting our individuality to letting a polarity of opinions or a relationship evolve us. 14 degree of Aries is shown as “A serpent coiling near a man and woman”. Two people or two sides of our own self, polar opposite in their expression coming together giving up holding tight to their egos & individuality , releasing the fear that relationship will mean being subservient to someone different from themselves. Rudhyar calls our generation’s search for “soul mate” a tragedy as he feels we have become so individualised & fixated in our own identity that we cannot find our true polar opposite who complements us leaving us unfulfilled in our basic human emotions. People having lost the ability to engage with someone polar opposite to ourself to let the current of polarity evolve us versus keeping our souls held down holding tight fighting for our so called “individuality” (supported by South Node transit in Leo revealing shadow side of fixation on our old ego concept).

He said there must be polarization before there can be fulfillment. Rudhyar said polarization can dissolve alienation, isolation & egocentricity. He describes serpent in Adam & Eve as not evil but as a vehicle that evolved two individuals from unconscious passivity to a physical real form. He takes a view different from the Genesis whereby the transgression is not the sin but sin is to hide what came out of it, the awareness the consciousness that it created. He decries centuries of guilt inducing version being produced. Two polarised people in a relationship, made self aware due to their differences will they run away at the threshold of conciousness or explore what this polarity is exposing to them. His version emphasises sin to not be to given into the serpent but rather run away from what comes out of us having been through the experience. He emphasises this to not be limited to a sexual experience but any polar experience that’s brought out a different side of us to light. Do we run away from self awareness that an intense encounter of polarity has exposed in us ? To him running away is the real sin.

South Node in Leo ties up with this trine and a passion is made sacred making it available in form that can be used by people beyond us, as we let the polarity of someone’s opposite presence in our life evolve us. Jupiter is at the degree of “A human soul seeking opportunities for outward manifestation” and it will not revisit this degree for next 12 years. This degree represents a soul whose self expression in a way was blocked but it cannot wait any longer so whether we allow it or somehow it unblocks itself, there is a release of expression of our true tone that happens either in a moment of madness or joy. This is key window of release of pent up creative expression of soul looking for outlet & a potentially polar encounter could help release it. In contrast Saturn revisits this degree of Aries three times — first was June of potential confrontation of this polarity even irritation from it & obvious resistance, now we have retrograde review of that polarity. We see in more open state what the polarity is showing to us about ourself. Third pass will be in March 2027 where we integrate fully what we have learned about ourself in physical form. Jupiter helps us look beyond limitations towards what possibilities this blocked part of us can hold if released in physical form.

Even our so called “sins” are made sacred if they allow our soul’s expression to be unblocked…

Let the soul manifest!

Love, Charu

Sun and Moon come together to form a new moon especially in Cancer that throws a light on our emotional life as we begin again in light of information we have received that we did not see before in the past few days of Mercury Retrograde in Cancer as well. Looking back portion of retrograde is over & planning ahead, what replaces that emotional space begins. This is not the first time this topic went through review before you can finally let go of an emotional issue or personal problem thats lingered almost all of 2025 starting with Mars retrograde in first three months of 2025 possibly causing off & on conflicts. Culminating in some sort of resolution or need to act in Dec 2025 with Jupiter Chiron square on 21 Dec’25. Now we finally put our mind to it & begin anew as we in a way, have seen the cost of not being able to be ourselves. If you are always scared to show your true self in a relationship or partnership — may be that’s not the home as you thought it was.

Feminine and Masculine parts of our psyche merge in a way whereby light is thrown on how our personal & emotional life is serving or not serving our external life. Everything under the attic has been coming to surface over two weeks as Mercury went retrograde on 29 June leading us to review how we have handled communication in personal matters or just how we have handled listening to our own inner needs during the course of rushing forward trying to bandage various situations. Some of us do not like to sit with our emotions but due to delays or just physical strength lacking we might have been forced to. This is the most personal of the new moons as our most delicate parts of life are changed — relationships, family ties, place of living, our relationship with children, inner peace, our relationship with the country we were born in. Reminds you without inner satisfaction, external gratification is well external — it lives outside of yourself for others not you.

Who or what fills our cup when no one’s watching…

Mercury is retrograde during this new moon — this weekend it will meet Sun in inferior conjunction. You cannot fully evolve an idea till Mercury goes direct on 23 July as information in bits and pieces that you didn’t know before will keep coming to surface out of your own subconscious. Facts and emotions so ignored while trying to rush forward will keep presenting to yourself in dreams, in writing, in discussions to you. This is truly mind is a trickster realisation time when you realise the fake things you have told yourself about you. This is natural cycle of life, whereby after a period of hyper activity we truly see things coming to awareness stage as action slows. This weekend as Mercury comes to meet Sun — it’s a key checkpoint — like someone reporting to authorities what they missed to see earlier when they reported an event due to rush of adrenal of the moment. Saturn is in Aries and it will continue to make square to Cancer planets all the way to 2028 so emotional distress unfortunately or if I am pushed to say something good — emotional maturity & resilience has to be shown during Cancer season — more than ever. So you are required to own part you played in the making of an emotional mess if thats what you are reporting. Saturn isn’t waiting for you to be physically punished, it wants to see if you can take on the next chapter of your life before it can be given to you. Can you handle the ups & downs, losses, challenges, set backs, personal sacrifices that come with it. Can you take other people who depend on you through a tough time too with emotional sanity intact. Can you manage right balance of relationships & healthy boundaries. Can you do whats needed to protect your peace, your family & home. Can you make a healthy personal space for yourself to nurture your soul. Can you close the doors to toxic to make place for healthy emotional habits. Can you feel safe again in your own skin so you do not have to pretend to be someone else all the time…

I guess emotional resilience is the right technical name.

This weekend with the inferior conjunction — you allow the acceptance of what new facts have shown you. Slowly reconnect your will and your emotions together so you can move forward from a past. Progress is in reflection. But you can’t birth without a seed & seed is what we initiate here. Reviewing part is done & re-orientation begins — you know denial, anger, acceptance … we are reaching acceptance or will reach acceptance this week. We become comfortable that no one knows everything, dreading a future that has not passed is unfruitful but may be if we accept where we are we could pave the way forward from there. From here we usually start initiating in terms of research, finding new paths, new solutions to old issues while still past stuff keeps coming up subconsciously. But it’s usually best to wait till Mercury is direct on 23 July onwards to take conclusive action or commit to new initiatives, new homes, family changes etc. But exciting looking forward part of home, family, real state, comfort is about to begin !

𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

After about two years of Mercury retrograde in fire signs this year we have Mercury retrogrades in water signs just like 2019 & specifically like Jun-Jul 2020 in Cancer though not same degrees. Water Mercury retrograde forces us to re-examine our emotional responses to stressful situations & in a way makes it very important for us to look at communication in our personal relationships — how well we are communicating to others what we need in relationships. The link between our psychological needs and physical events in our life becomes very tightly linked. These are periods of intense emotional, spiritual & personal evolutions in our lives. We clearly see the patterns we have outgrown. Lessons from last retrograde six years ago still come into play & add to our current experience. Our emotional balance is challenged in a way — we seem to not be able to run from facing & taking responsibility of how we feel as they manifest as physical complications. Like being locked in a room with your spouse during the pandemic without the distraction of outer world or a physical health manifestation of emotional stress or separation due to lack of communication in a relationship. Old associations, emotional ties & patterns they are reviewed to see if they would work for your next six years.

What we ignore is bound to reoccur — it’s a six year cycle & it can keep showing us same outcomes every cycle if we choose to ignore the emotional growth it offers. Sometimes you find yourself baking the same sourdough you baked during the lockdown cause you just liked the safety of just being home with that for a while. You revisit old comfort zones — not to return but just to steal a moment of peace you once felt in them to have strength to do tougher things. I say it often but you need to be kind to yourself during these times as we are simply over sensitive to environments & triggers. Overreaction to words, reactions & anxiety is normal as you discover new coping mechanisms to thrive emotionally in the new environment you are about to enter. Psychological traits that we have inherited from our family, our country of origin or just from our childhood — we tend to be faced with it to be sure if they are serving us in the adult life. Not facing our role in miscommunication of emotions in relationships is on top of chart on it. Fight or flight responses when faced with tough personal circumstance is another. We repeat the heart break from back 6–7 years sometimes over something which highlights how we handle our personal life or emotional expression.

Mercury is a teacher here due to Saturn influence & we seem more open to learning in this vulnerability. Window is brief though as soon we would be racing ahead again leaving many corners untended to which would hurt like a small pebble in shoe slowing us down & hurting if we speed. So don’t ignore your needs & what you are being told you need. The new moon is at the degree of expectancy — we might have to shed some layers of protection we put on may be during the last cycle six years back which has outlived its purpose today. You can’t still be living like there is a lockout imposed on the world. In Cancer new moon we give up emotional patterns that block initiative & use emotions to take initiate versus not. Change in emotional patterns which supports the belief that this is possible for me!

“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙡 𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙨”

This new moon sits in Gemini constellation in the sky with close influence of the twin stars of Castor & Pollux — ability to work with the evil and moral polarity of others & ourselves. Great writers who are able to merge the two come into existence with this. It’s more about storytellers, one doesn’t have to write — many artists who can play both hero and villain on screen as an example. We could see ourselves seeing both bright side of an experience & probably the angst it has caused coming to a conclusion that we were made more aware of ourselves having gone through it versus not. You just simply know what you need more now to be able to go get it or atleast move in that direction… Seasons change & so do we.

Love, Charu

For next 7 years the flavor of initiations in Gemini part of our chart is accelerated — they are leaps where we leave some form of security in terms of how we think, how we speak, what we say is our skill set & more importantly where our next brilliant ideas lay. It all starts here & it’s not final at all so allow yourself to fail, change, try again. Not take it all oh so seriously as you are allowed to mutate what knowledge form becomes you in this new wave which is the biggest reskilling of our times.

Only wrong is going to be fearing the change & freezing still versus trying to ride the wave as we get to see this in our lifetime.

Key themes of initiation & of leaps over next 7 years with Uranus transit till 2033 for your sign :

♑️ #Capricorn : Work and health routines

Uranus comes here usually to shake up our 9–5 routines or add spice to it. You have just had one of the most fun transit of Uranus in your house of love, luck, courage & creative talent which usually opens our risk appetite in life. We take chances on ourself we would normally not, fall in love with our original self. Does your life daily life match that courage, that leap you have taken to truly know yourself ? If not the walls will feel restrictive and you would like to change up what you do on a daily basis both for your health and for your daily work. It’s tough to sit on a desk all day when this happens as there is a weird frequency at which we vibrate — could be called like a hang over after a wild party.

Saturn your ruler is right now also in your house of home & family which can increase the responsibilities or the burdens in your personal life. The out of that or expression of freedom from that could be in your work or just one daily routine — anything a walk, yoga, accupucture — something unique to give outlet to your need for freedom. When time constraints one part of our life, it creates an outlet — may be its in your work or its in you pursuing a new unique health routine or in getting a new pet which is in itself a unique journey. More freedom in work, in your day is desired which moves usually one away from fixed contracts or 9–5 routines. We can feel more restless or nervous to set free from something unknown like we want to shake things up but something within us is blocking it. This nervous energy needs outlet in movement in work and health. You inherently seek works requiring intellectual curiosity & communication skills — this is a transit of reskilling fully to move to the kind of day to day freedom you need for yourself. Sometimes we kiss many different frogs of work here till we find the prince.

Staying flexible & trusting your mind will find the frequency and the people it wants to daily interact with is essential right now. People in our daily life — mainly who work for us or with us can become unreliable as may be you seek to change who works with you or for you as you need those people to add new skills to you & may be the current ones do not. So we either change the environment we work in or seek or move to new environment.

This is a key health transit where totally extraordinary ways of healing are pursued. Diet is changed significantly & a lot of movement added. Some pursue non traditional medicine for healing though I can only say do it under professional supervision. Sometimes we pursue unique pets who heal us or we give home to one to help them heal. With all the disclaimers of checking with right professionals — any health issue that is revealed during this transit if any seem to have roots in mind. We learn the role our mind plays in both creating our reality and our physical well being. What daily patterns and hence daily life we can create by changing our thoughts — can be very liberating. We can suddenly leave a habit thats been hurting our health — Uranus has separative aspect. So environments that negatively affect us — we are quick to sense & quick to leave them.

Sometimes it’s not the people, places, jobs, colleagues, pets, diets that need change but more of mindset but you could experiment with all of above to see whats truly you. When you do find them, the nervous anxious energy will calm down & your body will tell you.

Love, Charu

Key themes of initiation & of leaps over next 7 years with Uranus transit till 2033 for your sign :

♐️ #Sagittarius : Partnerships, significant others, commitments, clients

Uranus, planet of sudden changes, now sits right opposite to you trying to shake up your one on one partnerships… the seven year holy itch is here!

Time to meet some “weird”people, romp elope a little cause you wanna get out of your old skin and you might think someone else is the ticket to it. Sagittarius are meant to explore the world side by side not one not two but many intellectually stimulating partners. Partners are people living life in parallel with us — enjoying the same intellectual curiosity we have for life, sharing that experience no matter how briefly. These are people who would come and go as swiftly as possible changing you and your outlook to life. Uranus in house of partnerships changes our ideas of partnerships. You have an inherent lust for life & for past decade Neptune sitting in your house of home & family has caused the very ground below your feet flaccid. Not knowing where you belong and who you belong to — when there is confusion in our domestic base — there is confusion in whole life as we do not know what we are made of to dare to be more than our current moment. Sailing in that sea of uncertainty for a very long time though has released some level of rigidity — not that you are known to ever judge anyone. But its certainly got you to the level where you would allow people in your life, you normally wouldn’t pre that transit.

Uranus transit gives you permission to be who you really want to be unabashed & to be with who you want to be with unabashed as well. Partnerships both in business & personal life are unique, untraditional & they stimulate us to new level of knowledge we alone will never achieve in the way we would while working with diverse set of people from diverse walks of life. It’s also the time when you have to change the perspective of commitment from house of commitment — partners stay cause they share the same vision not because they signed a binding paper. Partners walk together cause they have the same need to talk, discuss, intellectually challenge status quo. Contracts are not fixed but more flexible — both in personal life & professional. Your whole chart & will determines to what level you would pursue this but life will offer opportunities to be more you without any veil, guilt or shame if any you have carried about who you are. You are seeking independence, space to be more you freely, to be able to speak your mind freely & you need to give yourself permission or safe space to do so or this transit makes us physically restless making us do rash things, rash outbursts. Breathe life into stifled corners…opening life

Open exchanges, honesty in what you need in a commitment — professional or personal, seeking original/dynamic/inventive partners to play with, enjoy the journey with. It’s not new to you — thats what you inherently seek. But over years of giving into what others need from us, we suppress what we need from life. Uranus in a way frees you to seek openly those new ideas, insights, breakthroughs, experiences with people who come & go changing you. Changing your boundaries giving you permission to show your genius that many might see as weird but its normally just ahead of time. Some sort of drain from family or home base stops which also gives you permission to take risks you normally have not been able to.

Right now Uranus is at early degrees meeting Mars right now at 3–4º affecting more of early degree Sagittarius — Nov born possibly but it would visit all degrees over next seven years. It’s exiting, little unsettling, but mostly you have never vibrated at this frequency — not so loudly atleast as you do now. Those who can sing along will join, many won’t.

It’s an important life transit for you & this is not the last time we talk of it.

Love, Charu

#astrology #horoscope

Its January its cold, well may be not where I am at but figuratively its part of the year you are expected to be cold. Cold objective to the past whatever happened to you or by you in past year, you are meant to shove all of that down and move with objectivity and some matured positivity for doing it all over again. You wish, pray, hope that a warm blanket of someone whispering its all going to work out can just carry you through this threshold and deliver to wherever it is you belong to, do whatever you were born to do. The brittleness of every bone in your body craves for a cushion, a softness, head craves for a soft pillow and if lucky a warm shoulder to fall asleep on.

Capricorn season, even more so Capricorn stellium this Jan comes with a recognition intellectually that you would have to create that cushion, that shoulder for yourself. It’s that good old reliable who tries to remind you, it’s fine just start wherever you are, no matter how deep a hole you are in, just start wherever you are at and start digging out. It’s the mountain goat energy that says its ok just build that muscle more, flex it more, work it out more, you would need that cushion less and less as you would always have your strength to fall back on. But then you wake up and you are at your most vulnerable self, you haven’t yet put up your face for the world and you truly see yourself in the mirror, just looking for home, craving a comfort zone. The goals are all typed out, the steps all laid out, the eve of new year you even took that proverbial first step, the first practical real step to prove to yourself that you mean it. But you wake up and the muscle you flexed aches for cushion, it feels stiff as hell, the ergonomic pillow turned out to be no substitute for a warm shoulder or falling asleep to someone’s voice, the purpose of pursuit for the dollars you laid out as goals seem to be needed to even get you out of the bed. Welcome to Cancer full moon expanded by Jupiter opposing three planets in Capricorn.

We live in world of polarities, nothing explains this more objectively in my view versus astrological signs. We all know these zodiac archetype extremes esp of Capricorn and Cancer cause we live it everyday. Some call it balancing life and work, emotions and objectivity, head and heart, ambition and love. Some say you can have your cake and eat it too while some had to abandon one for another. But most us try to live life trying to swing from one extreme to another juggling both, usually making a mess between earth and water elements of our life. My mom calls it life. Jan is no different expect to be stretched on both fronts too with Capricorn parade of planets helping us get our act together from get go while you really do not want to do this without taking whatever feels home to you along. Cancer full moon though will change the meaning of home for many of us and probably close some personal chapters as they do not serve your next step.

This January is so business, it would shame the most Capricorn of us all. I do my ritual write down every aspect of the month thing for myself whether I do any readings or not, just to make sense of life. As I was writing January I swear I closed the book so hard it woke up my neighbors feral cat. Ok I would preface what am about to say with that I love Capricorns but no Capricorn is as full on Capricorn as this month. I am Aries Sun Moon (please don’t stop reading I have an amend application pending with God to change that about me) and some of my best friends are Capricorn but taking a Capricorn stellium to a bar in Jan would be like going with your father well my father, the worrier who would counting every ml of my Aries f$ck around and find out shots. No more aimless blanks. When you have so much focus on one area of your life as we would in Jan, it would be a shame to loose all that momentum to any distraction esp with Virgo south node supporting real creation from get go. I also have a lot of Virgo close friends, I just crave that earth energy that I very much lack — Jan has plenty. Read the room is my point and pull yourself together. We got work to do.

So TLDR it’s not fun. But it’s not meant to be, cause as someone said in a short cause we get all our life lessons now from YT shorts and TikTok — sometimes biggest self care is to do now what your future self will thank you for. That’s what my dad or all of my earth dominant friends (why ???) would say IRL when we didn’t have shorts or need to say IRL…

This month especially the Capricorn conjunctions coming 6–9 Jan will help give us the focus and tenacity to just act on whats right for us. Take the concrete step make it real. It really doesn’t matter where you are at right now, it will never matter where you are at now. What would matter is that you started and acted on it. Did something about it right now — no matter how small it is. Right at start of this new year we have earth trines with south node in Virgo — drop the self critical, trying to get it exactly right act. South node has been in Virgo all of 2025 and we have sliver of it left till July — lessons are here for us to take and live them just like in 2007.

You will never have anything unreal if you keep killing your own dreams with reality.

I know it’s contradictory to Capricorn realism that we are meant to live in Jan and seed but South Node in Virgo would like to for once shut that voice in your head, we all have it. That voice in your head of someone you respected or someone critical or you or your past failure that wont even let you start cause God forbid if you start you might fail. Its when I am not in my head that the next sentence just writes itself after first — for some its not a great thing cause I write too long and my Mercury in Pisces writing is droning for the structured Virgo mind but for me its flow of life when its allowed to flow and that stream straight from the mountain is unpolluted by others opinion of me. North Node in Pisces has greatly helped me accept that in past year as I experienced long stretches of period where Saturn in Pisces wouldn’t let me get out of my head back into that free stream of thought and intuition I have lived all of my life on. You can create practical real structures out of that unpolluted stream of thought if you allow yourself to right now. Give it meaning, validation that your thought can become things. Legacy you can be proud of not based on pure Capricorn principles of whats right for the world but whats right for you. Whats well suited to your individual “Character” (13º Cancer) cause you are the one who has to live it after all.

I have left myself not enough time to write about the full moon… to be continued… I just wanted to pop up to say Happy New Year and hope we all can create something real and of value based on where we feel at home. Even if we do not, the journey will be worth it as moving forward is better than staying still in fear. This Jan is amazing month to turn around things powerfully for ourselves, I know its said for every start of this year but level of conjunctions we have this month esp end of month/early Feb Mars Pluto — its truly transformative start of the year. Start with Saturn (baby real steps) and over month progress to Be bold steps (Mars Pluto).

I will try to be with you on most of those…

Much Love,
Charu ♥️

Sun Pluto opposition we just had is a separative aspect which shows our inner gunk in face of another & forces us to part with certain dysfunction that’s blocking our light & vitality before we can have a fresh start in Leo part of our life. Leo new starts usually require bold steps where you need to believe in your unique gifts irrespective of social judgements, external noise or social pressures so current conflict might be a test in a way.

In the race to adjust, be seen a certain way by certain people especially friends & our social network, be recognised by another — somewhere our individual light is lost. We pretend to fit in, try to merge in which chips away our trust in our own instincts as we are following a script.

This aspect throws the light on that part of you that’s lost in adjustments. It’s light trying to shine through cracks in our existing social fabric or social behaviour which inhibits individual expression. “I cant say that” — well you do & may be in Mercury retrograde its not said well or not received well.

The conflict you are having is so not about the other person as obsessive we can get about that. It’s not about anyone being wrong. It’s about a behaviour pattern that wouldn’t serve us going forward. In some cases yes solution is that you have outgrown the group or friendship or association with another but largely it’s about knowing yourself a bit more through another.

It’s our invitation to dig deeper into our response to a situation that seems like a struggle of power & ego probably with a friend or associate or a random troll on social media. Why does this bother you so much, whats the inner build up about, I am responsible for not taking a certain risk & not my social network or circle.

While we might be confronted with extremes, we are also asked if we have the balance we need. You can be a great singer & enjoy your own gifts but if your goal is to be a professional singer — we need to learn how to put ourselves out there to a critical audience. So we are asked the tough question of whats the goal here & how do we balance different aspects of ourselves. How we balance our pride & our need to connect with others. How we balance our individuality while being palatable to external world at large that prefers shoe box houses & people…

Pluto is digging into degree of “desocialisation”

During this opposition it helps you find tools to cope when you are an outcast. When you refuse to accept the collective cultural standards of a group you belonged to. A collective status that you no more can be part of or wear as a badge of honor as you do not see honor in it anymore.

Being outcast is part of individualisation — more you are of you, the less you are of another. An outcast though whose goal is to thrive in a connected world has to learn how to remain true to oneself without living in seclusion. May be it’s about having more pride in who you are or dial down the use of ego as an armour to keep everyone out to ever see the real you. Balancing the Leo part of you in a social situation…

Sun in Leo is all about our own unique light — how to unblock it while attaining the larger social goal we have might be key here & easier to review over this weekend as this intensity settles to being milder. End of month we can seed new start as we learn a bit more about who we are, what we want & where we need to make a shift.

Much love ❤️

First ray of sun of summer in Northern Hemisphere or the first chill of winter in southern hemisphere comes with the longest day or longest night to mark that change is afoot. Change thats not external but driven by us and supported by the wind and nature cause as they say one thing is constant and thats change. Cardinal seasons come with the impulse to move, do things, change things and initiate. Those changes evolve, shift shape and become something completely different by the next season.

In today’s volatile moment as both Saturn and Neptune challenge the cardinal initiation of this season, Sun waits to embrace Jupiter’s optimism midweek to tell them despite the uncertainty, one can grow and come out expansive out of all of it. No change comes out of comfort.

Cancer season would like us to go to our comfort zone, be in the shell of our “home”, enjoy the sun or hot coco depending on where you are and whatever we define home & comfort as. But Aries challenges that — you do not even know who you are and what you are becoming — how can you be at “home”. Neptune in Aries makes us see ourselves bigger than who we are right now — activating a dream yet it makes our identity flaccid, confusing and not so well defined. Saturn in Aries tries to thrash the living dream out of that expansive vision through some real life slaps and reality checks. We ofcourse need both so we got both. So you start to do what you think is best for your family, home and your long term protection / comfort yet seems you are cowering a reality into existence versus an expansive dream. Like defending yourself from imaginary demons versus aspiring to create a future worth actually living. They are both ways to get somewhere but one has a horrible journey. One of them is decidedly horrible way to live.

Cardinal Saturn is not fun if I say that myself as a cardinal dominant but oh the element of longevity it creates. Children of 1996–1998 or people who lived that time and remember probably know this well. Cardinals are known to start but may not finish but cardinal Saturn makes sure you do finish what you started cause you wouldn’t have an identity to live with if you do not. Threat feels really existential. Yet Neptune would like us to find the dream in the reality & toughness of the moment, in the work, in the toil. Yes they say you could make something real out of the imaginary, the dream when both Saturn and Neptune are in the same sign and when they make harsh aspects to personal planets like in coming days with the new moon this week, yes you have the opportunity to seed first concrete step of a seemingly impossible reality. It will feel like walking in muck or drying concrete but it would be forward movement. Optimism will get challenged with the collective anxiety or even darkness as Pluto makes Quincunx with Jupiter. It’s usually our sign to find a scenic route that makes the resistance internal or external go away. Use this week to ease into an uncomfortable start.

Mars Pluto quincunx of 23rd could mean something worst for sure. But existing in worst case scenarios is like I said not really a fun way to live. It’s an aggressive transit and we stay off the aggression’s path is what we can do and take the scenic probably longer route but it would show us what we need to probably see which changes the destination ahead of that new moon midweek active for next two weeks. Pluto quincunx is embedded in this new moon ahead of us, so we would need to find a channel for our inner need to control the outcome or even inner aggression in ways that it doesn’t damage our safety & home or people we call our own home. This does form a Yod with Jupiter quincunx with Pluto. Pluto is at 3º Aquarius conjunct fixed star Altair — the flying eagle — representing US & its army which is the focus of this Yod. There isn’t much for me to say here as now it’s news. Pluto spends entire year conjunct this fixed star & when such configurations are made we see physical events. Personally it gives us courage to bring together parts of ourselves which would normally not work — ideological transformations happen through some uncomfortable paths. Courage to be “weird”, not part of the flock is imparted here & you would be surprised how much you had all the tools within you all along to bring your disparate parts together to make a workable whole. Yod activations are not comfortable, it would not feel comfortable yet action might help you see the next step versus overthinking outcomes.

Meanwhile Saturn/Neptune at ~ 2º of Aries comes with a contrast — in form of our reflection in another person or place — it shows the cost of not acting on what feels like our calling in a practical way. The cost of inaction. We could use the Mars Pluto intensity to channel into productive pursuits whereby instead of trying to get everything right or worst criticise ourselves on what we haven’t achieved so far, we narrow down the focus to that one practical step that can mark the emergence of form. First degree of Aries is impulse to be and second is consciousness of this impulse and what goes into becoming that. Fire season (Leo) will help with this effort & we start seeing that with Mercury entering Leo this Friday — where it would stay till 2 Sept as we would refine our mind & message. While fire helps, brighter you shine stronger the opposition so Pluto aggression of opposing forces, outside fear / jealousy & physical expression of our inner demons will meet us head on too in coming weeks / weekend as we get bolder in talking of what we want to do or who we want to become in this year long cycle ahead. Every opposition helps us go deeper, get more sure and resolute in the pursuit. Ex 28th Jun we have some supportive aspects on 26/27 Jun this week. Mercury opposition to Pluto over 28th can bring some arguments or intense conversations.

Have a great season ahead ♥️

Uranus goes direct at 23º16’ Taurus walking forward on the degrees it last walked on 15 May 2024 and we rewrite the chapter initiated in May 2024 after knowing our values, our likes dislikes, our true self a little bit better. Its not the first time Uranus the planet of sudden changes & liberation walked these degrees but its the last time for next 84 odd years that it would visit us again on this very degree making it significant for us to see through a change which started probably in August 2023 with a clear break or sudden development in May 2024 and now we walk forward on that shift with our eyes open instead of it being just an inner unease of wanting to change things or shake things up. The inner restless is given physical form in way of acting on what we wish to shift tangibly.

Uranus is idealistic like any revolutionary so the first model of life it reveals to us is always more idealistic — I spoke of it in May reading referenced below. This ideal seeded in May 2024 went through the revision of walking back as this planet went retro on 1 Sept 2024. This started a process of questioning our own need for change, the ideals we wish to achieve by separating or divorcing from our past identity (See : Themes of change referenced above). In Greek mythology Uranus archetype tried to stop delivery of his own children which were deemed to be weird or demonic or too imperfect for his idealistic vision. Gaia the mother who wanted the children irrespective of their imperfections got them to trick Uranus to be born. First physical manifestation of our ideals, our imagination is never what we expect or as perfect as we thought it would be. Nothing shows this clearly to us than the Sun Uranus opposition of Nov 2024 did.

Referenced May Reading :

𝐔𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐮𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐲 & 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭…

But Uranus has a separative aspect thats why it’s linked with earthquakes & divorces or sudden changes — there is a breaking away from the past and once that crack comes nothing looks same again. If you are going through the midlife aspect of Uranus opposite Uranus (mid 40s) — you know this concept of being in between two lives which this aspect brings very much to life — one the life you have already lived and other the life you thought you would never live. This midlife crisis like feeling even though more predominant in mid 40s is felt by all during these oppositions esp if your personal planets (23º-27º Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio) are being aspected. There is a collective angst of unlived life & slight disappointment in current moment not reflecting our ideals which was most of Nov/Dec’24. Uranus in Taurus causes anxiety as we are experiencing fracture in most stable, consistent & valuable part of our life (See : By Sign Themes). The weird children of Uranus — first real manifestation of our ideals — look more jarringly odd in Taurus cause they do not fit our traditions, our old values & our old world that we have lived. Uranus swallowed his children cause he thought they would be his undoing. We refuse to accept the unsatisfactory present that Uranus transit usually throws in our face. Capricorn season grounded this madness with 13 Jan’25 trine. Uranus going direct now which helps us incorporate what we want in the life we want to live in the life we are currently living. It’s not perfect but it’s not the past as well.

More importantly is the realisation that unknowingly you have tapped into a reservoir of genius within you — Uranus helps you split from the norm so you can discover your unique gifts, your gems — the untapped high frequency part of you that traditions and old life was burdened with. The deformed children of Uranus that he wanted to swallow so they do not become his undoing become the Titans of tomorrow. Your unrest with status quo was very much required for that genius to show up. The two year process of Uranus aspects to your planets yields creative genius of a life time that you would tap into for a very long time as a part of your personality suppressed has been set free.

23º degree of Taurus implies natural skills which need to be reformed over time to make them socially available to be used. Or anything of value to us in money, love, skills, beauty, food that needs to be refined to create the requisite worldly results.

“A jewellery shop filled with valuable gems” — there are two parts to anything valuable — one is the natural talent — the gem itself which appears through the natural process of existence and the other is refinement of those gems which makes them more valuable in the worldly sense and also makes them available to be enjoyed by others. An experience, a person, an event or a series of them during the transit of Uranus from this degree since May 2024 brings the last set of embellishment or refinement of our a very lengthy probably life long process of cultivating our natural talents. This last step makes our talents, skills, our gems socially available to be enjoyed in physically world and be benefited from.

We are now in the last two years of Uranus in Taurus transit which initiated in May 2018. Since its initiation we have observed changes in global events in form of change in financial markets, money, whats our currency, whats valuable in markets, whats of value whats no more of value, structure of Earth, environment, food. Innovation in these areas of our collective lives has accelerated since then. In our individual capacity it has liberated us or may be shaken us to wake up to reality of what we value, what we love, how we value our selves and what our natural valuable talents are. Taurus deals with matter of hearts but it requires grounding, consistency — it wants the wild whirlwinds we have been experiencing since 2018 to have a long lasting outcome. That’s what this degree deals with. Making your gems available to the jewellery shop.

We are moving from stage of finding what distinguishes ourselves from the collective to the stage of “conformation” and I know conformation in Uranus is like trying to regulate bitcoin and then people finding shitcoins to wild into. The more you try to conform to norms your wild streak — the more you might find another outlet to go wilder so you do this in the way that you are still free to be you. There needs to be air to breathe as you try to land this, ground this. Otherwise it would soon start looking like the 9–5 you hated or the relationship that was stifling or the mundane source of income you know what I mean. And it doesn’t just apply to work, it applied to love, food, anything you value which you are striving to, itching to evolve out of — an element of progressive needs to be living breathing alive as you try to ground your madness.

This conflict between wanting to be progressive, wanting to do whats true to you yet wanting to have consistent, lucrative, socially acceptable outcome or being everything for everyone would be key conflict of Feb 2024 as Uranus in Taurus conflicts with Mercury and Sun in Aquarius specifically around 10/11 Feb. Second half of Feb will dominate us trying to find this middle ground as full moon in Leo on 12 Feb fully embeds this conflict. Its not just the conflict of what you love to do or who you love (Leo) and what’s socially acceptable or where the world is moving to or what socially is required of you to do as your duty (Aquarius) ; There is also an inner conflict caused by us trying to hold onto our old values, your old self imagine and your old self worth concept which we surely need to evolve out of. But from this very conflict comes real long lasting change. Real long lasting tangible outward change is exactly what Uranus going direct brings.

We have been in process of bringing changes behind the scene or within ourselves since Uranus the planet of sudden changes and evolution to our true madness or our true self went retrograde on 1 Sept 2024. I wouldn’t say outer changes were halted but the freedom was more achieved in trying to change our own inner self before the outer changes can be seen. Now is the time for the outer changes to reflect the inner truth we have found in ourselves since Sept and that helps us relive the timelines since May 2024 very differently, in more authenticity and in more freedom without our own inner self holding us back from doing what’s required to change things to realign frequency. Uranus makes us vibrate at a different frequency so the people, places, sources of income, love partners which or who do not vibrate at the new frequency we are at — they are left behind. In Taurus — a fixed sign — our tendency is to hold on as long as we can and we do till it becomes jarringly clear that we ourselves have changed so we cannot really enjoy or value or desire the same food, the same values, the same sources of income and the same love partners. It’s a shift in our external values and external sources of value which happens once we have changed our inner self. This externalisation of inner change is the process of next 6 months whereby timeline till mid May 2025 will be about rewriting old stories — meaning we will handle old matters in new ways. And from 17 May 2025 onwards we write new stories, new elements of change. We would have fully evolved out of an old experience by then — which could be an old source of income, old partner, old set of food we liked, old value system or old skills that produced value for us and we would be looking to write a new chapter coming from a place of who we are in the now, the new frequency.

We have this week Mars in Conjuncton with Jupiter squared by Saturn around 16–17º of Gemini — the actional degrees of our minds, where instincts are converted into concrete ideas and external experiences. We are still in first half of Mercury retrograde so it might seem our mind is very much focused on analysis of the past and analysing our old patterns of thinking. We are living in the basement of our mind while being asked to socialise our ideas or at the very least externally put them down on a paper or even visualise how we would like to experience them in physical world. We might need to live like two people in this duality of Mars in Gemini and Mercury retrograde in Virgo to Leo this week, whereby we continue to act on whatever “facts” are available to us as of now, being out with the people of our life while we rethinking how to synthesize and organise whats coming at us in spades. This can feel very bipolar, very much going from dark to light & light to dark, optimism to pessimism, expansion to constrain, introvert to extrovert — quick flips between our two parts. Seems action is more efficient — just doing it objectively seems to bring out somehow our instincts in concrete form, writing helps, journaling helps, putting ideas on a paper helps, moving helps, working out helps, being physically active settles us in weird ways, meeting people as reluctant we might feel especially old colleagues, friends, people who were useful instrumental in our life at one point — it all seems reluctant to do but it helps as its all giving us the signals we need which our own brain is not giving us. Doesn’t mean we are getting colored by their opinion but they are a catalyst in some ways, its not a lets sit at home and think deeply kind of mercury retrograde. Just try to hold your words a bit when interacting this week as Saturn wants us to conserve energy as we spend it — yes I know it’s like driving with brakes on but less is more. Listen more versus speaking. In listening to another you will understand yourself more too. Choices get narrowed as we move forward in this way and our self expression is matured in ways we couldn’t have done any other way. We are learning when to speak and when to stay quiet in a social situation and relationship. We are learning the art of focus when we narrow our wondering mind down to the “right” or productive choices of our life. Self expression can be wild, it can go in many useless directions and interactions, Saturn wants us to narrow it down in style, in people who we spend our energy and words on and pursuits which will yield us the results versus being the Neptunian lets flow and may be go nowhere style. We did all that — this imbalance is not for Virgo season ahead. Sit within yourself even if you are in a crowd and do not avoid people cause there will be temptation to. People will be catalyst of ideas.

This is second go at Yod activation with Mercury at 29º Leo and 0º Virgo being inconjunct with Neptune and Pluto. Flexibility is called for in inconjunction. It’s a detour which will change the destination, seems like a waste of time but it would change your mind and approach taking you to a direction you originally didn’t even think of especially if you have planets or points touched by this Yod — around 29º Leo/0º Virgo, 0º Aquarius, 29º Pisces and of course the activation point ~29º Aquarius. The upcoming full moon of 19 August brings the activation of this Yod being close to this activation point, happening at 27º Aquarius. Be ready for stubborn parts of your life to be changed — stay flexible as you would be taken a bit out of your comfort zone here especially as this full moon is a fixed T-square with Uranus as apex — sudden turn of events with the weekend ahead. Right now we mentally prepare for it through trying to create concrete ideas and expressions of what seems like our instincts, our higher intelligence as we receive ideas, thoughts which do not seem ours yet need to be somehow be made ours or be worked on as ours in future. The distance you find between those ideas and your current reality is mental — its a mind distance which needs to be travelled and other people, their openness sometimes or even resistance to it (through friction) can act as a catalyst to cover that distance between where you are where instincts are telling you, that you should be. Some of this distance needs to be travelled physically by going somewhere, meeting someone, talking about it, writing about it, visualising through saying words to existence about it, reading about it, learning about it, collecting information about it, gathering skills through relearning something old refreshing an old skill or knowledge about it. You can and will master the skills required to cover this gap, it’s not even a question but have patience with yourself and do the Saturn thing of not trying to run before you can walk. Take small steps even if temptation is to go big or go home. Take a measured approach right now, it will slow you down enough to recognise if you are listening to yourself or just doing what others are doing or doing something just case you feel you are too late in life to get there. In hurry and in going big you will open the avenues you do not have the energy to bring to concrete closures — you will create relationships you cannot live, you will create dependencies you cannot fend for, you will create promises you cannot keep. So hold the temptation of saying big things or making big promises. First tell yourself — what is right by me to do, what is right by me to be able to walk what I really want to walk. As much as people are catalyst and we are amongst them, do not let the needs of another drive your choices right now. Mercury retrograde is about choosing what within you is right per your higher intelligence. So be with people but listen more than talk.

Love ❤️, Charu

The indulgent detour

𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝗼 : 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗿

On 4th August Sun and Moon come together at 12º34’ Leo to form a new moon, the once a year new start in Leo part of our life that we get every year and this is one beautifully aspected new moon even though its happening right after Venus Uranus volatility. It’s like the ground beneath our feet is unsteady and Leo New Moon is providing a warm anchor. This is big heart energy which encourages us to act out of self love when we are not able to trust love from another or anyone. There is a reason Leo is ruled by one and only Sun, you have to initiate things in Leo moon out of your own light, your own love for self, your own God given or natural gifts to honor them and without the care of who is watching cause you are watching you and more importantly cause its fun!

𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗻

With all the Pluto influences during the Leo season we forgot the Leo season is meant to be fun, its the season to create something that brings you joy and radiates so bright that it can light up more than you and brings warmth to anyone who sees it. Creativity is self indulgent for some and it can seem so that things we initiate in Leo season can feel self indulgent especially with Venus and Mercury together walking in Virgo, we would look for “value” in fun, in things we do for love, why we take the risks we take when we bet on our own self, what kind of risks are those and what are repercussions for it. The Leo and Virgo energies are getting very enmeshed this year with Mercury retrograde first walking into Virgo and then realising I am creating something of value and utility with no light, no fun, no soul possibly so we got back to get some fire back. This process would be August as we enter Mercury retrograde with this new moon. New moons which come with Mercury retrograde hold more value for me as I feel there is a big step which is being taken which requires a lot of thought process, change of perspective and delicate work — in this case across what its serving in practical ways, can we perfect it, can we make it commercially viable to will this be work of heart, will it have the excitement fun I crave, will it light me up. This kind of work comes before a masterwork is produced to its finality as Mercury will go direct on 28 August. During this period we would also be working on Yod activation with apex across end degree of Leo and start degree of Virgo. These are detours we seemingly go through in life, which take us through a longer route cause they would like us to see things which would possibly change our end destination. It seems something is being delayed and even denied but rather you are being taken to a longer route to make you see what you truly both need and want. End result is very different from what you started to go towards with Yod activations. People with activation do not get how they got there cause they never planned it, its something that seems fated and well planned in hindsight but its very disconcerting when we are going through it and require immense amount of mental flexibility to live through.

𝗠𝗮𝗿 𝗝𝘂𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿 : 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Mars Jupiter conjunction middle of this month which does influence us most of this month in Gemini helps us actively work on big ideas projects which require a lot of thoughts, interactions with people and more importantly commercial, word, communication work which is encouraged and enhanced in this influence. Big words, sometimes very forceful are spoken so be careful of that, be careful of wasting your energy, your breath. Mars Jupiter conjunction is in sextile with this new moon energy — words, commercial ideas, advertisement, short travels, hanging out with young people, working on our real practical money making skills, working on communicating our needs — what we want — it yields results but as its mercury retrograde we would need extra deliberation in doing that. Speaking up is an act of self love here — whether speaking up for what you want in relationships or speaking up what you want when it comes to your creativity or work of love and passion you are working on. You can tap into positive words, positive communication both with self and another, positive interactions with people and keep those interactions objective, fact based, data backed, real, forward looking vs blame finding or gossip derive or endless without any outcome. Clean it up during retrograde but communication serves us in this Leo initiation and working on communication — externalising, socialising our Leo projects before their formal launch to embellish them works well. Sometimes its the reverse, working on self love, our personal joy, our creativity, gaining more confidence in self in our ability to open our gifts — it helps in our external, social life and commercial activities.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱

This new moon trines north node in Aries. This initiation helps in bringing out both your individuality to light but also your ability to show yourself that you can do things driven out of your own instincts, your drive, your own belief in self and not because of someone else. There is a very instinctual quality to this new moon and this initiation. To many critical eyes it would feel like self indulgent as I mentioned, you would have to get over the care of what the world thinks of you in going ahead on this act of self love — whether its about taking chance on yourself, your creative interests, your children, taking time to have fun or indulging in what world thinks of luxury of life. Its not selfish, its not self indulgent — its you honoring the unique gifts you have and keeping them in, is literally burning your insides as you can possibly feel in form of inflammation that many Leo dominant face when they do not let their light or fire shine. I talk of health and inflammation as so many injunctions formed during August point me to health issues driven by imbalance, driven by inflexibility to embrace two dissonant parts of ourselves, driven by our tendency to swing from extreme of optimism and pessimism, fear and conviction, control and total surrender, dark and ethereal, need for money/power/control and need for selfless service, heaven and hell of our own mind’s creations. Inconjunctions are with Pluto and Neptune to the Leo planets so the imbalances are felt in doubting everything and then trusting everything. Inconjunctions are looked at as detour — one astrologer described as a person trying to get to a building for a critical job interview but blocked by some construction work in front — had to take a longer route to that building but on the way walked into a beautiful shop where they encountered an influential book say on astrology which totally changed their perception of what they truly want to do in their life. This detour changes destination. It’s very hallmark of Mercury retrograde with two inconjunctions to do that. Delay changes the end destination, the goal itself.

The inconjunctions are with Neptune and Pluto. Neptune inconjunction — Yes it might be deception as it all sounds too good to be true but I also have to accept its softening my ego, showing me larger than life vision some of which I would like to and would make true, its opening me to possibilities I never imagined existing within me and letting me walk in faith which I would never be able to do before but I have to be careful to not sell myself for someone else’s dream or scheme. Find balance and flexibility to navigate this. Also know self pity with this aspect or any absolutely destroys vitality the most in this energy. Pluto inconjunction — Yes this might kill me, I would have to give up things I at one point thought I couldn’t live without but evolution would bring a me forth which is required for tomorrow and isn’t living a past that doesnt exist right now. I do not need to know every step for that change and no I do not need control over others and their behaviour to feel powerful — there is power in letting everyone evolve at their own pace. Flexibility is not the hallmark of Leo initiations but this time we are being asked for just that so something that has not even touched our imagination yet as a possibility can be allowed to come in our life instead of a preplanned predecided outcome. Deception and power struggles or power grabs with some form of mental or actual poisoning of the minds can be the total imbalance character of these inconjunctions. Stay guard to the doors of your mind if you are being conditioned to take a certain self destructive step in this journey. Stay above the fray and follow your own instincts here, do not underestimate the 29º Neptune Inconjunction to Leo and Virgo planets. Walk before you run and hold back your cash. Do not underestimate the Pluto manipulation or your own need to feel powerful or need for ego boost which could be driving you to outcomes that are far from Regulus. Do not be driven by spirit of revenge in Regulus — the fixed star at apex of these Yods and inconjunctions. Revenge is the downfall of this royal star which otherwise can produce life changing outcomes for you and collective.

Stay above the fray, stay the royal Leo fire way. Yet allow the events to evolve your mind as it tries to merge the light and the dark, evolve your self expression, your ability to communicate what you are experiencing as a higher vision which evolves over next two weeks with this new moon and mercury retrograde. The seeming drama of it all, all life is a stage element of it, it wouldn’t be boring atleast.
