WELCOME TO PLAN YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA ?
Hey !
So you’re ready to start planning your Social Media!
I have to admit this long-awaited part of the Moonsight Planning System took me nearly 4 years to not only compile enough data to use but to also figure out a system that would allow you to use it on repeat.
What you’re going to find below is a couple of different approaches to using this system.
One will be a method that I call ‘Across the Bow’, which will appeal to those who want a mega plan, without the astrological personalization, so they can target every major social media platform and not have to be concerned about where these platforms are focused within their own chart.
The second method is much more personalized and means centralizing your social media impact by focusing only on the platforms that you are most connected to, and that align best with how you specifically work, rather than trying to target all of them.
So before we get started there are a couple of things we want to clarify first –
1) What your social media goals are (what outcome do you want from what you plan to invest)?
2) What your social media habits are (what is your posting style and frequency like, regardless of what the social media gurus say)?
The answers to these two questions will form the basis of your social media strategy and also determine which of these two approaches will suit you.
Because no matter how great the strategies and systems I’m about to show you are, the best one is the one you’ll actually use.
We’ve all been there buying ‘pre-done’ social media templates only to be disappointed time and time again when –
It may seem irrelevant to ask question #2 with the advent of social media scheduling software, but time and time again we have seen that in order to ‘beat the algorithm’ organic interaction is incredibly important.
So how often you like to be on social media and your habits around social media MUST be considered, even if you plan to schedule content out ahead of time.
Because when your content IS effective you will get engagement and that will mean needing to be available to respond, engage and build that community.
I’m sure I’ll have some people clicking their tongues at me, or waving their fingers in shame, but after many years of trying to navigate social media while juggling a business, and the influx of such a multitude of social media channels – here’s my take:
✨ The best social media platform(s) for you are the ones you actually WANT to hang out on, or at least the ones you’re willing to tolerate. ?
Because it’s not enough to create a social media strategy and influx of social media content, we have to be willing to maintain those communities.
Anything worth building is going to take time, regardless of how good the strategy might be. So my suggestion is to pick one, maybe two channels to start and ideally one that aligns with your astrological chart so that you find YOUR PEOPLE there, and you’ll actually enjoy the time you’ll spend building it.
If you find that you feel burnt out or overwhelmed by social media, then know that you need to protect your time and instead focus on quality over quantity and let that be part of your strategy.
Think about content that AGES WELL, and is NOT time sensitive, especially if you want to build a legacy brand.
Let’s also not forget that the purpose of social media from a personal standpoint is MUCH different than the purpose of social media from a business standpoint.
Meaning that those who don’t run businesses online, don’t use social media the same way as a business. Their goals and use cases are completely different.
In a personal or individual approach, the average person uses social media for social connection and entertainment.
In a business approach, social media is being used as an ROI tool. Meaning that posts are strategically made to generate leads and sales. We may employ humor, education, sharing of personal information, or asking for help but the goal is completely different from that of an average citizen, even though we may employ similar approaches (humanizing our content, adding humor and personality etc), we are looking for different things.
If you have found that you struggle with getting interaction on your posts, it is quite possible that your approach has been that of an individual/or from a personal place, rather than from a strategic business place, or that you are not speaking the language of the user of the platform based on their needs.
I’ll be discussing the differences in this below.

Ready to Schedule Your Social Media? Great! Now that you know what you want to market and the needs and struggles of your client, you can get to work on scheduling your social media strategy into your calendar.
You’ll first want to look and see where the Moon is for the period you are looking to plan your social media. If you are looking to plan out a week’s worth of social media posts then use the Moonsight Calendar and/or the current Mooncast to see where the Moon will be, and then you can scroll down to the section titled ” Social Media with the Lunar Zodiac”.
If you are looking to plan out more than one week’s worth of social media content, then you’ll want to use the Moonsight Digital Calendar to determine when the Moon will be moving through the signs to help you know what types of posts, goals, and platforms will be most aligned.
But before we dive into that I recommend checking out the 8 Lunar Phases of Marketing (found here), and How to Do Market Research video above to help you determine your Client Journey and your specific offers (if you aren’t yet clear on that).
If you have already gone through this, and are clear on your offer or you simply want to plan out your social media for the week quickly then feel free to go through the content below to begin your plan.
Check Where The Moon is This Week
So let’s first begin by checking where the Moon is this week using the calendar and seeing where the Moon is, and where it’s going to be over the next several days. This is also found in the Moonsight Digital Calendar that you received when joining the Lab.
Once you’ve checked it out, make a note of what element/signs the Moon will be in on which day, and any Void Moon windows.

Social Media Marketing with the Zodiac
Once you know where the Moon is and what element/zodiac energy it is highlighting, we can personalize it further by customizing your social media to each of the zodiac signs and specific platforms based on their astrology.
As the Moon moves through each of these zodiac signs every 2.5 days you can focus your social media content to highlight the needs of each of these signs. We each have these signs in our chart and given that the Moon not only represents YOUR needs/emotions/mental focus/energy it also is the energy/ focus/ emotional filter that the public and your community are experiencing.
When we meet these needs through our social media and marketing, we connect directly to those who need our specific services and support, especially if you know your brand story (as covered in the above videos).
The Zodiac signs tell a story, a story of evolution, understanding, growth, and development. And the Moon is moving through all 12 of these signs in a lunar month (approximately every 28-29 days). This journey gives us a wonderful opportunity to take people through our brand and content, in a way that supports their needs.
And by aligning this with relevant social media platforms that resonate with your audience, your chart, and your specified goals you have a recipe for increased engagement and rapport with your community and followers, which builds trust and a strong business foundation that allows you to sell your offers and support your clients with less effort and more fulfillment.
It also removes the stress upon you to know what to post, to which platform, and when, freeing up time for you to focus more on your strategy, the quality of your products and services and generating leads, and building a community where it matters most.
If you haven’t yet already checked out the current written Mooncast, you might find it helpful as it gives you suggestions on what types of content will do best. Otherwise, you can also refer to the content below, which summarizes what each Zodiac sign needs and how it expresses itself as the Moon moves through a new sign every approx. 2.5 days.
If the below sections look familiar to you – please note that these can also be found in similar variations under ‘Plan Your Marketing’ as the themes are the same whether you are focusing in general on planning your marketing or looking specifically to plan out your social media content, they work together and through understanding their links, you can build a more cohesive brand marketing strategy.
The difference in this section, however, is that here you will also find listings by social media platform based on their astrology chart make-up to help you determine what to post specifically to each of these platforms, and what is more likely to attract your ideal clients.
Note – you do not need to post to every one of these platforms, you may wish to specifically choose one or two ideally aligned platforms based on your social media houses.

SOCIAL MEDIA WITH THE LUNAR ZODIAC – ARIES QUICK SUMMARY
ARIES:
NEED: The need during Aries Moons is to take ACTION. We are compelled forward. It is not a time of overthinking, processing information or emotions, or planning. During Aries, we are DONE with what has come before, are ready for a change, and may feel some big emotions nudging us towards action. These can be feelings of frustration, anger, feeling fed up, or a readiness to be done with fear. It is an intense energy of needing to fight, overcome, battle (even if it’s against ourselves), and physically enact change. If we don’t take action at this time, the energy will need to go somewhere, and often it goes inward where we will turn it against ourselves (attacking, blaming, belittling, shaming, repressing, self-harming, sabotaging), or we will direct it at others and either start fights, or create drama or distractions so that we don’t have to change or notice our patterns.
During Aries, people want to rally, they want to fight FOR or AGAINST something, they want to be inspired to take action, to act in spite of fear, to change their lives. Like all zodiacal energy, the burst of energy is SHORT, and it will tend to run out within 2 days or so, so if action is going to happen, it needs to be done quickly.
MARKETING: Give them a reason to get fired up, excited, and to DO something. Great time for a CTA (call to action), where you direct them to a sign-up page, share an opt-in, announce an event, or the release of something coming SOON (Aries is impatient). With Aries, we can only focus on ONE thing at a time. Be specific about what you want them to do, and how you want this energy used. What is the end RESULT that you want? Make sure you know what that is before you post or share your marketing materials. Ask them a question, ask them to share, ask them to click, tell them exactly WHY, and be clear on what’s in it for them (after all Aries rules the 1st house of identity and ‘me’). People are more likely to be thinking of themselves during this Moon, not others. Materials shared during this time should help them to IDENTIFY themselves in your branding, your offer, and your outcome. They need to see themselves in the problem, Aries wants you to give it to them straight, don’t beat around the bush, cut through the BS, tell them how it is, and don’t sugar coat it.
If it’s going to be work, say that, if the media is lying to them, tell them, if they’ve been going about the problem all wrong – be honest. They can take direct, to-the-point answers at this time, and they will respect you MORE for it.
Aries is looking for Truth Tellers and Action Takers.
Challenges are great for this time. They are more competitive, they want to outdo themselves, or even others.
Using ‘who’s in?!’, and ‘let’s do this’ language in your copy or content.
Think Headlines like: ‘5 things you don’t know about ____ that’s robbing you of ____, and how to stop it’.
They want you to cut to the point, use bullet points, use wording to show how much something pisses you off, be polarizing, share with them what others in your industry aren’t telling them, if there’s something they’re doing that’s costing them time or money, tell them. Have a shortcut? Tell them about it. They are looking for the shortest route to get them results. Talk about RESULTS.
BEST TYPES OF CONTENT/DELIVERY FORMATS FOR ARIES:
- Bullet Points
- Content MUST be quickly digestible/useable/actionable.
- Funny Memes through your post/email/blog
- SHOW don’t tell (testimonials, screenshots of income, screenshots of comments, of other people’s results, before and afters)
- Other people they admire follow that same advice (even if you didn’t give it)
- Walk them through it, give them bite-sized homework
- Challenges – do this and come back and report.
- Make it competitive or use gamification – extra bonus points they can win a prize
- Short or inspiring videos.
- Memes or Inspirational Quotes that summarize their values or what they’re done with.
- Celebrating wins posts.
- CTAs of ONE thing you want them to do – comment below, share, sign up, post your favorite meme, subscribe to my channel, leave a comment for my podcast, subscribe to my podcast.
- ‘Yes’ Ladders – “I’m thinking about doing this/I just made this ‘thing’…if you want in/want a copy when it’s done, comment below with a ‘yes”. If you do this make sure it’s HIGH value.
- Post inspirational content that gets YOU fired up.
- Share your new opt-in
- Share your upcoming Free event/workshop
- Open your cart (only if you’ve warmed them up before)
- Hold a flash sale (only if you’ve warmed them up a bit before, ie. I have something special planned for tomorrow, watch your inbox/this space)
- Talk about what pisses you off, and what you’re done with, and ask them to comment below if they’re fed up with that too, or to comment with what they’re ‘done’ with/what pisses them off about their industry.
- Accountability Threads – what are you going to tackle in the next 24 hours, comment below and then come back here tomorrow and tell us what you were able to get done, or offer to tag them in the next day or two if they want accountability. This is especially effective if you’re holding a challenge around that topic.

⛰️♉ Social Media With Taurus
MARKETING WITH THE LUNAR ZODIAC – QUICK SUMMARY
TAURUS
NEED: Taurus is looking for security, resources, materials, finances, and quality of life, they are interested in having things work for them, but they aren’t interested in having to do a lot of work to get it done.
Aries demands a totality, and after Aries, Taurus is spent, it wants to enjoy some of its time now. The energy is slower than Aries, they want to have their cake and eat it too. They view everything through the lens of security, comfort, and safety. These are needs for Taurus.
They want to keep their comforts without having to tax themselves too much, to them there is no reason why they can’t have fun while working or getting things done. They want to do it when they are INSPIRED, at their PACE, not yours.
They cannot be rushed to make a decision or take action. In fact, trying to hurry them alone will usually result in them walking away/or digging their heels in more firmly. The emphasis here is home, security, wealth, luxury, enjoyment, and experiencing life (through their senses, foods, music, and textures), on their terms.
Taurus rules the 2nd house of resources/skills/ finances/materials/security and personally generated income in the astrology chart. If they can experience things from the comfort of their own home or space, even better.
They are focused on the homeyness of things and all the things that stem from that space. They want to do it themselves, or be pampered and have someone else do it for them, either way, they want the quick route there, they need a simple, easy, and a shortcut because they have more important living to do. We are creatures of habit in Taurus, we want our comfort zones, we want coziness, and we don’t like taking risks; if we can get away with doing it in our pajamas that works too.
Taurus is naturally a business sign because it’s stubborn and consistent with things that are important to it. It understands that business and success only work if it nurtures us RIGHT NOW as well as LATER. The gratification with Taurus needs to come NOW and LATER, it can’t just be later.
It’s interested in more than just survival, it needs to have its needs taken care of now, which is what makes it a sustainable sign for business.
However it’s not good with waiting for things, so make sure your marketing doesn’t keep them waiting too long. Don’t make it weed through a bunch of information, it wants you to have taken the time, assessed all the risks, and make the decision as EASY as possible.
If you make Taurus overthink or have to do research before it decides, the answer is likely no. If you promise something to a Taurus/during a Taurus Moon, be sure you give it to them, don’t inflate anything because they will remember.
MARKETING: Taurus will throw money at solving a problem, especially if they don’t need to have to do much to solve it, or the feeling of buying something makes them feel like they are doing something about it – think templates, done for you, step-by-step, done with you and pre-done systems. They are interested in making their lives better NOW, so anything you sell or market should fit this bill. It needs to be focused on immediate gratification, in some way, ie. Join now and get access to my templates, my system, my vault of content, etc.
They are also enticed by creating security/ financial wealth, material gain, in the short term, or alleviating themselves of guilt or shame, so if your product/service helps them forgive themselves, or feel better about themselves now, even better.
They have big hearts, they are big givers, and will often give to others at the expense of themselves, they need this kind of support in their own lives. They like ‘collecting’ things, acquiring things, that they can store up and save for later. So even if they won’t use it right away, they feel better knowing they have it. If you are selling something that has a variety of things, a slew of tools, or a vault of content or applications, especially if they can go through it at their own pace, they are more likely to buy.
They know they aren’t like other people, that systems/structures that work for others, don’t really work for them, so if you make it easy for them, give them a shortcut, or cut out the fluff that they don’t want to spend their time doing, they will become long-term customers. If they can do/include your product/service into their current routine and it seamlessly fits in, all the better, they don’t like change, so if what you’re offering requires them to have to step too much out of their habits/patterns they will likely decline.
Talk about your own ‘laziness’. Talk about your creature comforts, your vices, your indulgences. Host unboxings, and walkthroughs that show ease/simplicity/application in real-time.
Think of how your product/service can be templatized (I made that up, but you get what I mean!). How can you ‘cookie-cutter’ your offer/service, or offer something to make it easier to apply? Taurus will love you for it. Website templates, social media templates, and apps.
They also love beautiful things, beautiful branding, photos, behind-the-scenes, beautiful products/physical items/spaces, and flowers. They aren’t especially great with follow-through because they need the feeling of immediate satisfaction, which often doesn’t happen until later with larger projects/goals. So help them to feel good NOW, or THROUGH your process, step by step. Helping them implement is good, a call where you help them set up something, or a check-in call later is also good.
If they can see how investing now will not only make them feel good now but also help them improve something LATER in the near future, this is usually enough for their logical mind to say ‘yes’. They like pampering themselves. They do a lot for others, and they know others probably won’t see it, or give them a ‘permission slip’ to indulge, so they like it when your product/service makes them feel like they can pamper themselves. Marketing your product/service like a spa/retreat/get-away is also excellent.
BEST TYPES OF CONTENT/DELIVERY FORMATS FOR TAURUS:
- Give Me -don’t tell me. Give them something that’s already done for them, especially if it’s free, high value, AND beautiful.
- Videos/Live Streams
- Blogs with photos and how-tos.
- Podcasts that they can listen to while doing other stuff.
- Kindle Books or Audible/audio format.
- Videos showing lifestyle with your product/service.
- Fancy downloadables/opt-ins.
- They love great branding/product mock-ups.
- Relate parts of your life that involve being at home, being a home-body, and things that you do to pamper yourself/indulge while doing relatively mediocre/ordinary things.
- All things home and self (living spaces, family, pets, recipes/cooking, and ways of beautifying the home/office space, or material things like bags/purses (look inside my purse), my favorite self-care items/products)
- Being able to nurture and be nurtured is very Taurus.
- Buying gifts for yourself/your business, the gift you’re giving to yourself/your business, you deserve, it’s time, you work so hard, you’re always helping everyone else, ‘why not?’ luxury, top-of-the-line, best-rated, high quality, imported, rare, pamper yourself, irresistible, one-of-a-kind, limited time, edition, exclusive, (language to use when marketing to Taurus energy)
- Put the focus and the attention on them, not you. It’s all about THEM. Flatter them, compliment them. Give them shout-outs. Boost them up.
- Make your offer a great deal. Tell them how much they’re saving. Show them a chart comparison, and do the research for them. It makes them feel more secure. They like feeling like they’re getting a discount or are walking away a winner.
- Talk about the ways they can apply/use your system/product/service – in their pj’s, from the comfort of their own home, or on their phone while driving their kids to soccer practice.
- Tell them how it will make them more organized, the envy of the PTA, they like feeling like they have their shit together, so if your product/service does that, they’ll love you for it.
- They are far more capable than they ever give themselves credit for, remind them of it.
- Gifts, high-value freebies.
- Private Community Spaces where they feel comfortable and surrounded by others like them. Deliver your content in an ‘exclusive’ or private area.
- Personalized Emails, written directly to them, where you take your guard down, and share your vulnerabilities, and what’s important to you and them.
- Coaching Calls/Group Calls/Intimate Community Calls.
- Give them a system/technique that you do on the spot.
- Ways to make money, become more wealthy, be more of who they are, and be in their purpose, especially delivered through live stream, video, or audio/podcast format.

♉?️ Taurus Activated Social Media Platforms
At the beginning of Taurus Energy - Lasting for the 1st day of Taurus Energy: |
Facebook Posts
MC ♂☊
That's a load of Bull! (a little Taurus Astro humor for you).
With this transit we see a triple whammy of the natal Midheaven, Mars, and North Node in Taurus in Facebook's combined charts.
The Midheaven rules our reputation, public achievements, success, legacy, and what you're known for, this being in the sign of Taurus this presents possibilities for you to develop a firm business foundation and income stream through consistent (Taurus) Facebook posts. This is further activated by the addition of Mars in Taurus, with Mars ruling action, motivation, momentum, CTAs, and more specifically sales.
In addition with the North Node also being in Taurus, this serves as an opportunity to focus on common goals and higher purpose that your community and followers have in common. In this case, there can be a desire to create financial security, to 'live well', to grow wealth, and to satisfy more immediate desires. All of these placements are auspicious for generating sales on the platform.
This can be a great time to not only determine a consistent posting routine for yourself (what you choose now will be more in alignment with your habits and less likely to end up as a great but unrealistic idea) but also to think about the types of content you share that are relevant to your followers and ideal clients daily habits and routines.
Do you create and post content that people would appreciate reading daily, over morning coffee, or at night in bed as they settle in for the night? Is it something they'd look forward to reading to learn the latest developments, updates, or techniques (with ROI that is connected to saving time, money, health, or making their lives easier)?
It's important to keep in mind that the energy of Taurus is often described as lazy, and while in some specific or more personal cases, this is true, I prefer to see it as efficient in how it uses its energetic resources. If it can find a way to use less energy, less time, do less work, and still achieve a good result, then it's going to opt for the path of least resistance. After all, Taurus is a resource sign.
The focus here is to enjoy life now while also finding a way to secure the future, and keep things the way they are, or hold onto what it has. Being a fixed sign it is resistant to change, and that's what makes it so predictable. Keeping these themes and needs in mind as you write your content to your people will be helpful to understand their desires and what will draw them to your offers.
The positive features of this are that if your product or service helps them to get great results without having to do a lot of work, or still maintain their routines, you're more likely to make sales.
From a content perspective, consistency here is what allows you, your content, your ideas, and your systems to remain not only in their awareness but potentially become a part of their day and ingrained habits. At this point, it's only a matter of time when and what they purchase.
The overall influence of this transit is that this is a good time to become consistent about your messaging, offers, and posting schedule. Use this time to share high-value content, pitch, sell and ensure your CTAs are clear, and focus on content that meets the needs of your idea clients' overall goals and sense of higher purpose and growth. Nailing these will increase your conversations while also building a stable foundation for your business on Facebook.
Marketing Advice:
-
Authentic Storytelling: Share your brand story in a way that connects with your audience on a deeper level. Be transparent, genuine, and relatable, allowing your audience to resonate with your journey.
Example Strategies:
-
Create engaging video content that showcases behind-the-scenes moments, product demonstrations, or personal stories.
-
Craft compelling captions that evoke emotions and encourage meaningful interactions.
-
Share user-generated content to highlight the experiences and testimonials of your satisfied customers.

Example Strategies:
-
Use eye-catching graphics, infographics, or carousel posts to present information in a visually appealing way.
-
Incorporate captivating images or videos that convey your brand's personality, values, and products/services.
-

-

-
Run contests or giveaways that require audience participation, encouraging them to engage with your content and share it with their friends.
-
Join relevant Facebook Groups and actively participate in discussions, offering advice, and sharing your expertise.
Facebook Stories
♂
This is a potent period to leverage Facebook Stories to encourage your followers, clients, and viewers to take clear action. Under the influence of Taurus, this action is focused more on immediate gratification and a desire to save time, money, or effort. As well the desire can be more visually or superficially oriented with Taurus being ruled by Venus.
Can you customize your offer, pitch, or CTA to provide immediate satisfaction for them, or absolve them of guilt, or self-judgment around laziness? By saying yes to your offer does it provide them with an immediate sense of personal satisfaction that they are doing something about their problem? If the answer is yes then your offer will do exceptionally well under this transit through Facebook Stories.
This can also be a great time to use Facebook Stories as a re-cap or redirect to your Facebook Posts (see above summary) and use this time to redirect them to your offer or remind them that time is running out.
Because Taurus is drawn to high value, luxury, and exclusive offers, if your offer has limited spaces, limited numbers, or other luxury qualities to it, this can also be an excellent time to share it.
Marketing Advice:
-
Compelling Visuals: Leverage the visual power of Facebook Stories to capture attention and tell your brand's story. Create visually stunning content that stands out amidst the sea of stories.
Example Strategies:
-
Use high-quality images or videos that showcase your products, services, or behind-the-scenes moments.
-
Incorporate eye-catching design elements, stickers, or filters to add flair and personality to your stories.
-
Experiment with different story formats like boomerangs, stop motion, or interactive polls to engage your audience.
-
Emotional Storytelling: Connect with your audience on an emotional level through storytelling. Craft narratives that evoke feelings, resonate with their experiences, and align with your brand values.
Example Strategies:
-
Share personal stories that reflect your brand's journey, struggles, and triumphs.
-
Highlight customer success stories, testimonials, or case studies to showcase the impact of your products/services.
-
Incorporate storytelling techniques like cliffhangers, relatable anecdotes, or inspirational messages to keep your audience engaged.
-
Call to Action: Encourage your audience to take action and engage with your brand through your Facebook Stories.
Example Strategies:
-
Use interactive features like polls, quizzes, or swipe-up links to drive engagement and gather valuable insights.
-
Include clear and compelling calls to action, such as "Swipe up to learn more," "Tap to shop now," or "Tag a friend who needs this."
-
Collaborate with influencers or partner brands to create co-branded stories that encourage cross-promotion and increase reach.
Facebook Reels
♅
This transit sees the Moon activating natal Uranus in Taurus in Facebook Reels chart. Uranus in Taurus is all about utilizing technology, the internet, the future, and innovative approaches (Uranus) to generate income, resources, and security (Taurus).
This can be an excellent time to post your offers, ideas, or unique system to Facebook Reels.

Engage with your audience through comments, responding to questions, or creating Reels that address their interests or concerns.
Facebook Messenger
☿
If you are utilizing your Facebook Posts, Facebook Reels, or Facebook Stories to generate leads, share offers, and ask people to comment for more information, and your strategy includes following up with them via DM in Facebook Messenger this can be an excellent period to do so.
Here we see the transit Moon conjunct with Facebook Messenger's natal Mercury in Taurus. Mercury rules education, information, data, communication, commerce, processing, networking, and connection, and in Taurus, this is done through a medium that is comfortable, and low-pressure. With Facebook Messenger, sharing details, especially those that were requested, using this period to follow up, or sending personalized messages that are related to business, cash flow, saving time, saving money, or luxury offers or gains can be beneficial at this time. Taurus loves a personal touch as well as the sense of exclusivity that can be attained through more private messaging, and also of course the ability to not respond (which makes this a low-pressure approach).
Not a great time for copy-pasting impersonal messages, but really great if you utilize Facebook Messengers' voice message, or video option to connect with them on a more personal basis.
With Mercury being in the mix, this may be focused on sharing detailed information, sending a link, an invite, training, inviting them to a call, answering questions, or teaching in some way.
It's important to note that under Taurus they don't do well with pressure, fear, or intimidation, and will likely resist further if you try to impose restrictions or expectations. However if they feel pampered, and excited about the offer, and if the offer is limited or exclusive in some way that can go a long way in moving the needle forward.
Marketing Advice:
-
Personalized Messaging: Tailor your messages to each individual recipient, making them feel seen and valued. Personalization fosters a sense of connection and increases the likelihood of engagement.
Example Strategies:
-
Use merge tags or custom fields to address recipients by their names.

Reference specific details or preferences based on their previous interactions or profile information.
-
Offer personalized recommendations or solutions based on their needs or interests.

In this case, there can be a desire to create financial security, to 'live well', to grow wealth, and to satisfy more immediate desires.

Knowing and understanding this overarching theme, and how your content, your message, your offers, and your expertise unite to serve this bigger picture need within your community and ideal clients can help you to craft content that speaks to them in a deeper way while also helping them to fulfill this purpose on some level.
Because Taurus is often focused on immediate needs, usually what we need to survive, many feel guilty or resistant around it, whether its resistance is in being open about what they want and need, or in even thinking about it. Understanding this guilt, and the commonly held stories, pain, and beliefs your community has around it and deconstructing it in your content can ensure that your content serves as a medicine.
Think of it as a permission slip. By sharing these permission slips in our content, we free people up to let go of their shame around money, security, and material needs and wants, so that they can then be their best selves and have a real impact in the world. What are these hangups for your people? Use this period to talk about them and inspire them to think bigger.

When we think of some of the most popular topics, videos, or accounts on TikTok many of them are based around rather ordinary topics with a unique approach.

The same goes for making food, food saving, money saving, fitness hacks, food prep hacks, and so on. And here we can see why with TikTok's natal placement having Uranus in Taurus. It is essentially excitement, enthusiasm, and unconventional approaches to daily human things (Taurus).
This can be a great time for you to share video content that takes an unconventional, shocking, surprising, unexpected, or innovative approach to tackling things people would like to be good at (or rather have the results of) but struggle with low dopamine around (Taurus).

YouTube Videos, Engagement & SEO
☾
Welcome home, Moon! This transit sees the Moon returning to the same natal placement it was born under in YouTube's combined charts. This creates what's called a lunar return and marks a new cycle, specifically around the emotional needs and desires of the public while using the platform. Ie. What really brings people to YouTube?
With the Moon in Taurus, the desire is security, comfort, the satisfaction of seeing work done or progress (without necessarily doing the work themselves), financial growth, hobbies, interests, collectibles, and pleasure-seeking activities.
This is a great time to create content that is based on your viewers' long-term interests while also appealing to their appreciation for beautiful content and visuals.
Think - ‘Unboxings’, How-to videos, before-and-afters, demonstrations, content focused on personal gains (financial, business, security), daily routines and habits, domestic topics (food, food preparation, morning routines, meal planning, organization, etc).
These are topics that will refill the cup of your community, provide satisfaction, and often dopamine hits (they get to watch someone else start and complete something without having to do any work). It also often tends to be content that ages well, which can attract ongoing viewers to your channel.
Marketing Advice:
-
Embrace Emotional Authenticity: The Moon's influence invites you to tap into your emotions and connect with your audience on a deeper level. Authenticity is key, as it allows viewers to relate to you and creates a sense of trust and loyalty.
Example Strategies:
-
Share personal stories and experiences that evoke emotions and connect with your viewers on a human level.
-
Create content that addresses common challenges, struggles, or aspirations of your audience, providing them with guidance, inspiration, or relatable advice.
-
Be vulnerable and open about your journey, sharing both successes and failures, to create a genuine connection with your viewers.
-
Establish Community and Engagement: Building a strong community on YouTube is essential for long-term success. The lunar return amplifies the importance of nurturing this community and fostering meaningful engagement.
Example Strategies:
-
Respond to comments and engage with your viewers, showing genuine interest in their thoughts and opinions.
-
Organize live chats, Q&A sessions, or community events to create opportunities for direct interaction with your audience.
-
Encourage viewers to share their own experiences or participate in challenges related to your content, fostering a sense of belonging and involvement.
-
Consistency and Reliability: Taurus's influence emphasizes stability and dependability. Use this transit to establish a consistent content schedule and provide reliable value to your viewers.
Example Strategies:

Set a regular upload schedule that aligns with your audience's expectations, ensuring they know when to anticipate new content from you.
-
Deliver high-quality videos that meet or exceed your viewers' expectations, showcasing your dedication to providing valuable and reliable content.
-
Explore series or recurring themes within your content to create anticipation and build a sense of continuity.
-
Grounded Approach to Growth: Taurus's energy encourages a grounded and deliberate approach to growth on YouTube. Focus on sustainable strategies that align with your values and long-term vision.

Collaborate with other YouTubers or cross-promote each other's content to expand your reach organically.
-
Invest in building your channel's brand and identity, ensuring consistency across visuals, messaging, and overall presentation.
YouTube Shorts
☾
This transit is the same as I shared above for YouTube Videos with YouTube Videos and YouTube Shorts both sharing the same moon sign, and this transit activates a lunar return for this platform.
Please read the above summary to get an idea of how to use this transit for your YouTube Shorts. The only difference is the length of the content and potentially how you may wish to use it in your marketing strategy. With YouTube Shorts, the content is shorter, more direct, and time-sensitive. Here you can speed up some of the content that I suggested above (how-to videos turning into time-lapse videos, or before and after shots), giving several short ideas in one video, or using a series of clips to show a process, potentially with mini tips in between.
Remember, with this being a lunar return you have the power through your content to help your subscribers feel refilled, nourished, and content after viewing your content, as well as planting seeds of intrigue and excitement at what is possible moving forward.
Marketing Advice:
-
Storytelling Mastery: YouTube Shorts’ lunar return in Taurus invites you to master the art of storytelling in your Shorts. Embrace the power of concise narratives that captivate and resonate with your viewers.
Example Strategies:
-
Create short stories or vignettes that evoke specific emotions, such as humor, inspiration, or nostalgia.
-
Use visual storytelling techniques to convey a message or evoke an emotional response without relying heavily on dialogue.
-
Experiment with different storytelling formats, such as mini-series or recurring themes, to engage viewers and keep them coming back for more.
-
Emotional Resonance: Taurus's influence amplifies the importance of evoking emotions in your Shorts. Connect with your viewers on an emotional level, leaving a lasting impact within the short duration of each video.
Example Strategies:
-
Craft Shorts that explore universal emotions or experiences, such as love, friendship, success, or overcoming challenges.
-
Use music, visuals, and editing techniques to enhance the emotional impact of your Shorts, creating a powerful and memorable viewing experience.
-
Experiment with different emotional tones, from heartfelt and uplifting to thought-provoking and introspective, to cater to a diverse range of viewers.

♅ Rx
With an activation to natal Uranus Retrograde in Taurus, the focus of this transit is implementation, deep inquiry and introspection, modification, experimentation, and transformation within the self aroundinnovative, unconventional, or unexamined ideas, themes, and changes.
Uranus operates like a lightning rod, transferring information rapidly, and rather chaotically (or at least in a way that's often not in our control). It rules uncontrollable change and evolution, and when retrograde this energy is turned inward. Taurus rules our everyday security, habits, behaviors, patterns, finances, resources (food, time, energy, housing), assets, as well as physical and emotional needs and wants.
It also often tends to be quite stubborn and resistant to change, so the interaction of Uranus and Taurus could not be any more different. What is designed to inspire, or even force change comes up against what is designed to resist change at all costs.
This transit in Twitter Community Spaces chart is here to help us discuss the ramifications of these changes that are happening in our world, in our financial sectors, in our food sectors, in our creature comforts, retirement funds, in our skills and other assets, and how these changes are forcing change within us whether we like it or not. That the world itself is not what it used to be, and putting our heads in the sand isn't going to make it go away.
And so here, one of the best discussion opportunities you have is that we are being forced to face these changes one way or another. Here you can share your ideas, your insights, data, a new application of concepts, or new ways to make the transition more seamless, less painless, or more exciting for them.
Uranus rules the future, and these changes will have ripple effects, what opportunities or challenges does that create for your followers?

This transit activates the same themes as the summaries shared previously for TikTok Videos, TikTok Live Events, and YouTube Shorts. TikTok, TikTok Live Events, YouTube Shorts, and Google Podcasts all share the same natal placement of Uranus in Taurus. So I'll include a modified version of this summary for Google Podcasts below.
This transit is all about capturing eyeballs using unconventional, or unique approaches. Uranus rules the unconventional, the future, innovation, genius, surprises, and unexpected change or approaches.And in the sign of Taurus, this can take the form of habits, behaviors, patterns, routines, business, finances, food, domestic activities, tools, home-based themes, fitness, and body-oriented topics.
When we think of some of the most popular topics and themes on Google Podcasts many of them are based around rather ordinary topics with a unique approach. For example, there are podcasts focused just on cleaning, cleaning strategies, or techniques. The same goes for making food, food saving, money saving, fitness hacks, food prep hacks, business solutions, techniques, hacks, and so on. And here we can see why Google Podcasts' natal placement has Uranus in Taurus. It is essentially excitement, enthusiasm, and unconventional approaches to daily human things (Taurus).
This can be a great time for you to share podcast content that takes an unconventional, shocking, surprising, unexpected, or innovative approach to tackling things people would like to be good at (or rather have the results of) but struggle with low dopamine around (Taurus). As well the added benefit here is learning how it increases revenue and improves productivity, sleep, sex, health, or any other Taurus-ruled theme.
If you also include videos with your Podcasts you could include time lapse videos, how-to videos, and before and afters, in the content to help boost dopamine and activate Taurus' love for beautiful solutions (with it being ruled by Venus).
If you video record your podcast you may also wish to share clips or segments of it in your TikTok Videos, TikTok Live Events, or YouTube Shorts or take content from those platforms and share it through your Podcast.
Let your podcast creation process be inspired.

EMAIL MARKETING
At the beginning of Taurus Energy - Lasting for the 1st day of Taurus Energy: |
Email in All Forms (But Especially Personal Email/ Warm Audience)
♄ Rx Chiron
Good relationships and rapport with your list are built over time, by coming back to the same core topics, over and over again. By making space for them to join you where they're at, implement change and take action as they're ready, willing, and able. Under this transit, we see the Moon conjunct natal Saturn Retrograde and Chiron in Taurus in Email's charts.
Saturn Retrograde, especially in Taurus indicates that your list isn't ready to commit fully yet, and in fact, they may be quite resistant to change and even more resistant to someone telling them what they should do or pushing them.
So take heed that if you're writing to your list at this time, you'll want to avoid applying pressureand instead review some of the foundational pieces of your work, and encourage them to modify it, bend it, and play with it until they find what works for them. This can also be an excellent time to lean into the habits they already have and see if you can still create the same results for them by embracing how they already operate rather than trying to force them to implement something that goes counter to how they already operate.
This is a big pain spot during this transit with Chiron being activated. They will be feeling wounds around results, material issues (finances, security), capability, and wherever they feel they are the problem or that they've failed. The key here is to help them to turn what they see as their weaknesses into strengths. To show them that they don't need to change and that in fact, they are consistent, powerful, and fully capable if they allow themselves the flexibility to do things on their own terms.
It is through taking this approach that when they are ready to commit and go all in, you'll be the first one they come to. The one that didn't make them feel shame about who they are.
Marketing Advice:
-
Personalization: Tailor your emails to individual interests and needs using segmentation and personalization tools. Make every subscriber feel like you're speaking directly to them.
Example Strategy: Create dynamic content blocks within your emails that adapt based on subscriber preferences and behavior. Use personalized subject lines, greetings, and product recommendations to increase engagement.
-
Storytelling: Engage your audience with compelling stories that resonate with their experiences and aspirations. Connect on an emotional level and leave a lasting impression.
Example Strategy: Share success stories or case studies of customers who have benefited from your products or services. Use storytelling techniques to captivate your warm audience and demonstrate the value you provide.
-
Call to Action: Clearly define the action you want your subscribers to take. Use a strong and concise call-to-action to guide them towards your desired goal, whether it's making a purchase, signing up for an event, or sharing your content.
Example Strategy: Include prominent and visually appealing buttons or links in your emails that prompt subscribers to take action. Use action-oriented language and create a sense of urgency to encourage click-throughs.
-
Email Automation: Take advantage of email automation tools to streamline your communication and deliver timely messages. Set up automated workflows based on user behavior or triggers to enhance engagement and provide a personalized experience.
Example Strategy: Implement a welcome email series that is automatically sent when a subscriber joins your warm audience. Use automated follow-up sequences to nurture leads or re-engage inactive subscribers based on specific triggers.
Email Strategy, Series & Funnel Building
♀
A great time for both sales as well as beautifying your offers, sales pages, and funnels. Here we see the Moon (public) conjunct natal Venus (beauty, values) in Taurus (money, material goods), the sign it rules. This makes this transit very powerful for your email strategy and marketing at this time. This can be a potent period to sell, hold a launch, promote your offer, release bonuses that make their lives easier, provide a shortcut, that are high value, save them time, money, or face (ie that boost their ego, and make them feel good about themselves, or better than others).
A playful approach that highlights visually beautiful imagery, videos, or product shots can work very well at this time. Under Taurus we don't want to be pushed, we want to be wooed, we want to be won over, we want to be pampered.
Using love notes in your copy, emails, and messages, and writing as though you would write to someone you care about and have fun with is effective. Think of using funny memes, making them playful, cracking jokes, using humor, and otherwise making them feel like a star.
This is also a great time to share your passion for your topic and expertise, be generous, and give valuable insights and information.
Marketing Advice:
-
Visual Appeal: Create visually appealing emails and funnels that leave a lasting impression on your subscribers. Use captivating images, attractive typography, and well-designed layouts to engage and captivate your audience.

Email Newsletter Marketing
Chiron Rx
What are the wounds of your list, what do they struggle with, and what's at the core of their struggles? Often it is exactly this wound that you share in common that encouraged you to start your business in the first place, and it is around his wound that you have created your products and services. Under this transit, we see an activation to this core shared wound with your list. Often the wound itself is around capability, consistency, finances, security, wealth, patterns and behaviors, time, or other resources.
With this transit activating natal Chiron Retrograde in Taurus, your audience is ready to do something about the wound. They are not so enmeshed in it that they identify themselves with the wound, and are more able to see that they need tangible solutions to make real change in their lives. If you happen to have products or services that help them with this, this can be a great time to market those during this transit, so long as you have spent some time talking with your list about these issues prior. As well if your bonuses, or offer itself helps to streamline, shortcut, or otherwise simplify or does it for them, they'll be even more grateful to take you up on it.
Remember, don't be afraid to go deep into the wounds and struggle of your list at this time, just make sure you don't stay there, the natural transition towards a solution is helpful, and also empowers them to make the changes they deeply desire right now.

Email Marketing - Cold Emailing & Lead Gen
⨀ Chiron MC

This transit sees the Moon conjunct natal Sun, Chiron, and Midheaven in Taurus in Email Marketing (lead gen)'s chart.
Your research into this wound, which is often focused on capability, consistency, finances, security, wealth, patterns and behaviors, time, or other resources is very important to have before jumping into writing your copy.
Using resources like Facebook Groups, Reddit threads, book reviews, Quora, or forums, you can pull a lot of gold nuggets out, that help you in understanding how your target audience describes their struggles, the words they use, the emotions they feel and what they believe the issue is (which may or may not be the true issue).
Once you have this information, you can use this transit to write and send deep, and intimate emails to your target audience and leads. With the Sun activation working in your favor, your audience will have higher awareness than normal of the issues at hand, and also they will potentially warm up faster to your offer of help and guidance.
The key here is of course in personalizing your message to them so it doesn't seem like it was copy-pasted, adding personal relevant information about them shows you have taken the time to learn about them before emailing them and will also potentially increase your responses.
Finally, by doing this at this time, with care and attention, you have the potential to strengthen your reputation, perception in the eyes of your leads, and your expert status with the activation of the Midheaven.

Email in All Forms (But Especially Personal Email)
Chiron Rx
If you leveraged the earlier transit in Taurus for Email (found under the Email summary above) then you'll also want to make use of this one. In your last email, you would have clearly focused on their wounds, and in this one, the direction is in providing them an outlet to do something about the wound itself. Here your audience feels less invested or identified with the wound itself, and is now looking for tangible solutions to move towards their own healing, especially under the lens of Taurus (capability, finances, material security).
Here you can recap some of what you previously shared, or go a little deeper into it, and then move the attention towards the next steps of what is possible now that they're empowered. Remember still being under the influence of Taurus that scaring or pushing them will only have them dig their heels in further, they need to be inspired to take this action themselves, because they feel capable and because it's time. If they don't take the leap there's always later.

Once you have this information, you can use this transit to write and send deep, and intimate emails to your target audience and leads.

☁️♊ Social Media With Gemini
SOCIAL MEDIA WITH THE LUNAR ZODIAC – GEMINI SUMMARY
GEMINI:
NEED: The Need during Gemini is information, learning, and communication. During Gemini, we are sponges for content, learning, and sharing of information. We need and want to be around people, or at least talking to them in some way, whether through writing, talking, on video, or in person.
It is a time to research, collect, read, process, and gather information, with a desire to integrate what we need so that we can make a decision to move forward. It is NOT a period of decision-making, but rather a period of preparing to make a decision and implement change through the accumulation of knowledge and understanding.
We are more talkative during this time and need people, philosophies, and perspectives to gather insights from and bounce ideas off of. It’s a great time for networking and connection and information filtering, but our dialogues and searches may not be very deep because the focus is on a VARIETY of information, rather than an individual subject. Meet the need for variety by allowing movement between subjects, interests, topics, dialogues, and information.
We are more open to receiving A LOT of information and knowledge at this time. We are looking to learn from others and can process a lot of information at lightning speed. We may not be able to go deeply into it, but we can get the big picture, and see how things go together.
MARKETING: Validate their knowledge and experience. Share facts, data, statistics, resources, overall strategy, and philosophy, and help them direct it towards a specific tangible result. We are more open to receiving information at this time, so let your marketing take on the position of the guide.
It’s not possible to give them too much information at this time, just don’t go too deep into the knowledge. They need to see how everything works together, they need to know the history, the logic, the science, behind WHY something works. They are interested in the application, but may not be able to apply it NOW, so give them a toolbox so that they can apply it later.
If you have a lot of information to share with them, or your system is quite detailed, give them the blueprint. Give them the step-by-step checklist (but don’t include HOW to do those things). Give them a mind map, a Trello board, a spreadsheet, and links to resources, or blog posts.
Videos can be helpful if they are an overview or focused more broadly (5 tips to help your kid eat their vegetables, even if they are a sensitive eater or 5 things your course platform needs to have, and my tips on how to choose the best one for you).
Think about content that engages your community and gets them talking about themselves, fun facts, interesting or silly tidbits, or an opportunity to network or socialize are all excellent to help you be seen as the bridge.
BEST TYPES OF CONTENT/DELIVERY FORMATS FOR GEMINI:
- Short videos – think 5- 15 minutes or less.
- Blueprints, checklists, spreadsheets, mind maps
- Quizzes
- Resources – list of recommended tools, links, apps, etc
- Access to your vault/library of content (to collect for later)
- Small or short articles, or how-tos on a specific topic that they are interested in learning about/focusing on or wishing to improve.
- Mini-Courses or workshops (do it with me)
- Templates or fill-in-the-blanks
- Questions that get them engaging, or talking about themselves
- Meet-ups, group calls, or get-to-know-you sessions.
- Speed-dating
- Teaching the overall or broad view of a subject, with links or sources for them to follow up with after.
- Bite-sized content, or tips
- Memes or gifs
- Quotes

Transformation and liberation through information. This transit has the Moon in Gemini conjunct with the natal Pluto and Ascendant in Facebook's combined charts. Under the influence of Gemini, the public is looking for information, data, analysis, education, insights, translation of data, or condensed material that helps them to make sense of information that is broad or challenging to interpret.
This is where you can structure your content or materials to present the necessary data and information they need to understand, process, or decide something. With the addition of Pluto the goal here is to be free of pain, to transform their understanding, and apply information in a deeper way. The Ascendant operates like a preview or a hint, the first introduction your audience has to you, your brand, or information, making this an excellent time to announce, share or introduce them to your system, or material. The best approach to this is to use statistics, facts, studies, or scientific references to prove your case and solidify your system or solution in their minds.
Here your audience can absorb a lot of information, in short bursts, but would benefit from clear CTAs.
If there is a large gap in awareness within your audience between where they're at, their understanding of the root issues, and what they need to understand or become aware of in order to know if your program or offer is for them, this is the time to fill that gap in.

Facebook Live
MC
This a potent period to teach, share, or expand on your system, and insights or provide broad but insightful training on Facebook Live. This transit has the Moon in Gemini conjunct with the natal Midheaven in Facebook Live's chart.
The Midheaven is the peak angle of a chart that provides career and reputation recognition.

With this being a transit of the Moon in Gemini the goal during this period is to share a broad range of information that is all interconnected, think skimming the surface of all 5 steps of your system, or 3 phases of solving a problem, and so on.
Here they are looking for EVIDENCE, science, data, and facts to back up what is being shared, and they are looking for real analysis of what is being shared that they can use to inform their decision-making process, deepen their understanding, and provide them with context to work with.
This is a great time to openly share your material with your community, including your results and if you have anything that helps to streamline this process, saving them time, or improving their results this is a good time to share it.

Facebook Messenger
ASC
The Ascendant operates as the first face of your business, your brand, your community, or your audience's first interaction with you, the first impression, the first exposure to your system, or material.It is an excellent time to share 'hints', 'trailers', announcements, or behind-the-scenes of something you are releasing, working on, or a new concept or approach that they are unfamiliar with.
It's important that what you do share is backed up by evidence, simplified (remove anything that leads to overwhelm), and focused on processing and implementing information at a rapid rate to help them make strides faster. Under Gemini, we are also encouraged to not only learn and intake new information but it serves as an excellent time to write, teach, network, and connect with new people.
Given that this period can operate as the first introduction people may have to you or your brand, it's not great to use it for unsolicited messages. You can, however, use it to share insightful content in your Facebook Posts or Facebook Live, and then ask people to comment or send you a message if they're interested in more, or if you noticed they attended one of your Facebook Lives you could reach out and thank them for attending and ask if they have any questions.
This period can open up an opportunity for dialogue and potential sales, so long as it's leveraged appropriately, otherwise, you might find you leave a bad taste in people's mouths that tend to stick to your brand. Associations are very important at this time.
Marketing Advice:
-
Craft Engaging Messages: Create personalized and compelling messages that resonate with your audience's needs and interests.
Example Strategies:
-

-

An excellent transit for utilizing the power of information and educational content to inform, bridge the gap and generate sales. Here we have the Moon in Gemini conjunct with the natal Midheaven, Venus, and South Node in Instagram's combined charts.
Firstly, the introduction of the South Node indicates that this is not so much a period for the release of new information or offers, but rather to leverage what has already been created, discussed, or approached. The South Node represents the past, and the reason its placement is further emphasized is that it is working recombination with the Midheaven which is your reputation and what you're known for, so leaning into what you have done in the past which reinforces your expertise in the minds of your audience is very important.
Secondly with the addition of Venus, here we see a love and passion around a specific topic, a generosity with content, connection, networking, and teaching that leads to sales (Venus), as well as emphasizing your shared values with your followers.
The Moon in Gemini indicates this is a potent period of sharing high-value content, data, and analysis of data that is translated into information that informs, helps your audience to make sense of things, or to implement what you're teaching and sharing. The approach tends to be broad as Gemini is a 'Jack of all trades, master of none', and so going wider with your content and connecting a series of issues, challenges, or symptoms together helps to align the next steps in the mind of your audience. This can also be a good time if you have a promotion or offer in effect to use this information to reinforce their understanding and invite them to join you.
Remember with the addition of Venus it's important to make your content beautiful, and visually appealing while also being educational.
Marketing Advice:
-
Showcase Your Brand Identity: Create visually captivating content that aligns with your brand's unique qualities, values, and offerings.
Example Strategies:
-
Develop a consistent visual aesthetic for your Instagram profile, using cohesive colors, fonts, and themes.
-
Feature behind-the-scenes content to provide a glimpse into your brand's personality and values.
-
Use Instagram's carousel posts or albums to tell a cohesive and engaging story.
-
Engage and Build Relationships: Foster community engagement and meaningful connections with your audience.
Example Strategies:
-
Respond to comments, direct messages, and mentions to show appreciation and build relationships.
-
Conduct polls, surveys, or Q&A sessions in your Stories to encourage audience interaction.
-
Share user-generated content to showcase your community and foster a sense of belonging.

-
Experiment with different posting times and frequency based on audience activity insights.

One heck of a transit for leveraging the power of your Instagram account. Here we see the Moon in Gemini conjunct with the natal Sun, Venus Retrograde, Midheaven, and Ascendant in Instagram's combined charts.
Similar to the above transit that I summarized above we can see that this transit also includes an activation to Venus and the Midheaven, except this time Venus is retrograde. Retrograde Venus can indicate a pause or hesitation around spending money, a need to have more value established, or get to the underlying needs and heartfelt desires of your audience first before sales will be made (what's the need beneath the need?). With the Midheaven this transit is also offering an opportunity to spotlight your reputation and legacy and bring awareness of your work to a larger audience.
This can show up as an opportune time to share your content in a way that illustrates your personal and company values, the ongoing value of your products or services, and the short and long-term needs your products and services fill. The addition of the Sun increases your visibility, and your audience awareness, and helps you to move them from cold to warm, or warm to hot in their buying journey. And finally with this also activating the natal Ascendant in Instagram's combined charts this can be a great time for you to introduce new offers, share more about your business, products, services, specializations, hint at new content, offers or events coming, or open your cart.
A reminder that the best type of content for this transit is broad and connecting, you need to bridge the gap by either eliminating concepts/beliefs/ideas that are not servicing them or are not connected to the actual issue at hand. Or alternatively by introducing content, insights, data, or context for them to process, understand and implement the content, ideally content that helps to inform their decision by filling in any necessary knowledge they need to move forward.
Marketing Advice:
-
Embrace Authenticity: Showcase your unique personality, style, and offerings in an authentic and relatable manner.
Example Strategies:
-
Share behind-the-scenes glimpses of your creative process or daily life to foster a sense of authenticity.
-
Highlight user-generated content that showcases how your products or services have positively impacted your customers.
-
Collaborate with influencers or brand ambassadors who align with your brand values to amplify your message.
-
Curate an Engaging Visual Aesthetic: Create a visually captivating and cohesive Instagram feed that aligns with your brand identity.
Example Strategies:
-
Experiment with different visual themes or color palettes to create a distinct visual aesthetic.
-
Use Instagram's grid layout to plan your posts strategically and ensure a cohesive flow.
-
Incorporate visually stunning and high-quality imagery or videos that resonate with your target audience.

-
Announce and promote exclusive offers, discounts, or contests through Instagram Stories.
Instagram Reels
♀, ☊
Like the above two transits this transit will also be activating the natal Venus in Instagram Reels chart alongside its natal North Node, both in Gemini.
Reels, in general, are best for short content, that approaches issues from a more broad overview, or skims the surface by providing important and relevant data that piques curiosity and gets them wanting to know more. With Venus this can serve as a good time to sell through providing information, education, and insights, and also an opportunity to share your values, and passion for your specialization by being generous with what you're teaching or sharing. High-Value content especially does well under this transit, especially if it also connects them with their higher purpose and direction (North Node).
Here the North Node is pointed in the direction of Gemini, which is that learning is power, learning is transformation, and learning helps you to expand your view and experiences in the world, grow as a person and fulfill your higher calling. This is exactly what your audience is looking for at this time, to connect their own personal experiences with the information you're sharing and use it to grow themselves and fulfill a deeper longing they have in the world.
With Venus, we are also reminded that this can be a good time to open or close your cart, share CTAs, sign-ups, hold flash sales, or otherwise promote your business or services.

Here we see an activation of the Moon in Gemini to the natal North Node in TikTok's Live Events chart. The North Node rules the common shared higher purpose of your audience, which makes complete sense on a platform like TikTok that higher purpose being connected to learning quickly new information, approaches, or data, and how to apply it through shortcuts, or simplified methods. It's about removing complexity and providing the most important aspects needed to understand something or get results.
What is the higher purpose of your account in terms of what your followers are most looking to learn about?
How can you tie in what you share at this time both to the immediate needs and interests (Moon) as well as their bigger spiritual or personal growth-related higher purpose?
By combining the two during this time you will increase your engagement, and following.

Venus is cash flow, values, passion, and generosity, and Mars is action, CTAs, and motivation.

Pitches, cart open, cart close, flash sales, bundle sales, or CTAs towards other goals you have(getting sign-ups, joining your community, subscribing, etc) are all highly beneficial at this time, so long as you have provided them with enough of the right information to fill in any gaps emotionally and mentally in their awareness or deeper needs.

YOUTUBE
At the beginning of Gemini Energy - Lasting for the 1st day of Gemini Energy: |
YouTube Live
ASC ☾
With the natal placements of YouTube Live’s Ascendant and Moon being in the sign of Gemini this indicates a platform that is focused on and rewards short-form, concise, and bite-sized content that addresses the big picture (umbrella issues) and narrows it down into just enough data and information for the viewer to get an adequate understanding of the topic.
We are reminded under this transit that in order to retain viewers we have to focus on meeting their needs for variety, curiosity, and attention captivation through eye-catching graphics, infographics, diagrams, bullet points, strong headlines and subheads, facts and statistics, videos, punchy music, subject matter and presentation outlines and re-caps.
Posting interesting facts, statistics, and data, using headlines that are controversial, or creating open loops in your presentation are highlighted here. We are able to cover a lot of information at this timebut it needs to be condensed into an argument where you breakdown your approach, and then back it up with evidence. They don’t have the time to become experts in this, but if you were to use this period to condense your years of knowledge, wisdom, and your own journey what would you share? That is what we want to cover during our lives at this time.
The transit Moon conjunct with the natal Moon in YouTube Live’s chart denotes that this is a lunar return for YouTube Live, which initiates a new cycle, and in many ways operates similarly to a ‘new moon’ in the lunar cycle. This suggests an excellent time for sharing your work with new audiences, bringing your work full circle, and walking your audience through the process.
The activation of YouTube Live’s natal Ascendant in Gemini by the Moon (Public Needs) suggests that this is an excellent period for first impressions, to introduce yourself, your work, your brand, your approach, your products, your service to an audience, as well as an excellent period for ‘hints’, reveals, trailers, behind-the-scenes, or introductory offers or invitations. Just remember that everyone learns, retains, and processes information differently and at this time attention spans are shorter than normal, so it’s best to make sure your presentation has a lot of variety in it, and makes use of various learning tools and styles (subtitles and closed captioning, bullet points, visual diagrams, and providing a clear outline before and after the presentation).
Marketing Advice:
-
Interactive Live Experiences: Engage your audience by creating interactive and participatory live experiences that encourage viewers to actively join the conversation.
Example Strategies:
-
Conduct live Q&A sessions where viewers can ask questions and receive real-time responses.
-
Run polls and surveys during your live streams to gather feedback and involve your audience in decision-making.
-
Invite viewers to share their thoughts, experiences, or opinions on specific topics and encourage lively discussions.
-
Storytelling and Emotion: Use the power of storytelling to captivate your audience's emotions and create a memorable live experience.
Example Strategies:
-
Share personal anecdotes, inspiring stories, or behind-the-scenes moments that resonate with your audience.
-
Craft narratives that evoke emotions such as joy, empathy, inspiration, or excitement.
-
Use visual storytelling techniques such as props, visuals, or on-screen interactions to enhance the storytelling experience.
-
Educational and Informative Content: Provide valuable insights, tutorials, or educational content during your live streams to establish yourself as an expert in your niche.

-
Conduct live workshops, demonstrations, or tutorials that teach your audience something new or valuable.

YouTube Shorts
♂
I can’t imagine a better transit for your YouTube Shorts content. Here we see the Moon in Gemini (king of condensed content, variety, and short attention spans) conjunct the natal Mars (action/motivation/CTAs) in YouTube Shorts chart.
This is a green light for you to go ahead and leverage YouTube Shorts to share your short, to-the-point condensed content with clear CTAs. This a reminder that your audience is looking for information at this time with Gemini being the natural co-ruler of Mercury, the planet of connection, communication, e-commerce, and learning. But because there is SO MUCH information to learn and absorb and attention spans are shorter and faster at this time it’s important to make sure that you take your audience from the big picture, right down to the most important details, and then back up your findings, like a lawyer might in court.
This is similar to the opening or closing statements that a lawyer may make at the beginning or end of a trial, where they share a view or perspective they want you to have, and then how they plan to prove that to you, and then at the end they provide a recap of what was shared and why this is the only answer, and finally telling you what the next steps are.
Here we understand that our audience is constantly bombarded by insane amounts of informationin relation to everything going on in their lives at all times, the only thing that can help to cut through the noise is to open by presenting facts, and data or statistics to back up those facts, and then using this to inform and tell a story. This approach for your YouTube Shorts will help meet the needs of your audience under Gemini and also keep them curious and engaged in the information you’re sharing.
This can be used to invite them to sign up for a call, watch a replay, sign up for an event, subscribe to your channel, or join your program.

When Saturn is retrograde this indicates that your community (and you yourself) may not be ready to commit or decide your next steps fully.

We are being invited to consider what our audiences need in order to make a commitment to the processes we’re sharing, and the solutions we’re offering. To examine if there is anything missing, or any gaps in their knowledge or understanding that we can fill at this time with content that helps them to implement things better, or provides more context for them to grasp a deeper understanding and appreciation for the importance of the information.

YouTube Live
☋
With this transit moon activating YouTube Live’s natal South Node we are reminded that this is a time to pour from a full cup. The South Node represents the past, including your past experiences, wisdom, expertise, history, and accomplishments.
The challenge with this transit is when we try to do something new rather than leverage what is already available, when we ignore what is available at our disposal we may incur losses (South Node), or repeat past mistakes. Here we are being reminded that sometimes the best presentations and content is content that our audience has already been exposed to before. After all most buyers need to be exposed to a piece of information or advertisement 8-12 times before they’re ready to invest in it, illustrating the power of marketing comes through consistent repeated exposure, which helps to move the needle in their understanding, readiness, and willingness to commit.
Here we may be re-capping previously shared content, facts, and statistics, using what we have already shared, or hinted at through other forms of marketing and bringing their understanding full circle. We may wish to explore different applications or use cases of what we’re sharing to help our audience visualize how it can benefit them, or apply to them more personally, or we may use this period to dispel misunderstandings, lack of information, or fill in gaps that are creating obstacles to them applying or following through on the information.
This period can also highlight the relationships you’ve already built with your followers through YouTube as well as other platforms, which can help you to expand your reach and generate more sales, followers, or sign-ups.

YouTube Shorts
☊
Opposite to the above transit for YouTube Live, this period marks an activation to the natal North Node in Gemini YouTube Short’s chart. Where the South Node indicates the past, and our accumulated experience, wisdom, expertise, and Karma, the North Node indicates our future purpose, direction, fulfillment, and Dharma. And from a collective focus, it represents where we are going as a group, in terms of our personal growth and fulfillment.
Here it clearly illustrates that the collective purpose of YouTube Shorts is information and application(Gemini), and to meet the needs for variety and curiosity with our audience. To disseminate valuable information and impart it in a way that is easily digestible, understandable, and applicable to our audience, and in a way that fulfills their curiosity about the topic we’re sharing, and helps them to feel as though they are growing as a purpose and moving towards what they’re here to do.
This a reminder that your audience is looking for information at this time with Gemini being the natural co-ruler of Mercury, the planet of connection, communication, e-commerce, and learning. But because there is SO MUCH information to learn and absorb and attention spans are shorter and faster at this time it’s important to make sure that you take your audience from the big picture, right down to the most important details, and then back up your findings, like a lawyer might in court.
This is similar to the opening or closing statements that a lawyer may make at the beginning or end of a trial, where they share a view or perspective they want you to have, and then how they plan to prove that to you, and then at the end they provide a recap of what was shared and why this is the only answer, and finally telling you what the next steps are (CTA).
Here we understand that our audience is constantly bombarded by insane amounts of informationin relation to everything going on in their lives at all times, the only thing that can help to cut through the noise is to open by presenting facts, and data or statistics to back up those facts, and then using this to inform and tell a story.
This approach for your YouTube Shorts will help meet the needs of your audience under Gemini and also keep them curious and engaged in the information you’re sharing.

I couldn't imagine a better Moon to host or participate in Twitter Spaces. This transit sees a conjunction with the natal North Node in Gemini in Twitter Spaces chart.

Why do they want the information that you share?

PODCASTING
At the beginning of Gemini Energy - Lasting for the 1st day of Gemini Energy: |
Spotify Podcasts
♂☿ Rx
Action through re-evaluation. This transit focuses on the power of Mars and Mercury Retrograde in Gemini in the natal chart of Spotify Podcasts. With the Moon bringing emotional focus and attention to our needs for deep information to the forefront, we can interpret this period as a desire to take action upon the information we've previously explored or considered (Mercury Retrograde).
The thinking and processing are happening initially on a deeper level, so this period encourages you to either re-address a previously covered matter or explore the internal influences of the topics of focus on your Podcast. Here we can see your audience is interested in examining their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences with these topics and potentially new meanings or beliefs they may have around them.
This presents an opportunity to inspire action around previously addressed themes with Mars, so it's a great time to include clear CTAs and inspire action and momentum towards change, next steps, or your offers at this time. However, with Mercury being retrograde natally this is likely with something they have already been exposed to rather than something new. There is much review going on.
Also under the influence of Gemini, it's important to condense this information, provide context, an argument (your perspective), a simplified path forward and back it up with evidence (facts, statistics, studies), like a lawyer would when presenting a case. This allows your listeners to get the full package and all the necessary information they need to make a decision or take the next steps.

This period marks a potentially prosperous window for your writing and publishing on Patreon, with Jupiter expanding your reach and potential cash flow.
You can utilize this period to release a new offering, promote your Patreon membership to new Patrons, or do an internal promotion within your Patreon to encourage your lower-tiered members to join a higher tier to get access to new materials and benefits.
Under the influence of Gemini, this content likely has a broad range focus, while also being dialed into the specific needs and interests of your Patrons. The key here is to make sure that you have provided enough information for them to understand the material while also ensuring it's not too overwhelming that they can't apply it. Focus on simplifying the material with an emphasis on application and implementation, while also keeping your members excited and curious about the possibilities of the content in their lives.

WordPress
♄ ASC
Saturn and the Ascendant, the time is now to build your future and commit to your brand through your WordPress site. This transit finds the Moon in Gemini conjunct natal Saturn and Ascendant in Wordpress' chart. Saturn is about growth that is done over time, it requires commitment, steadfastness, consistency, mastery, and sacrifice. It lays the groundwork for your business and helps you to generate consistent income, referrals, and subscribers over time.
This can feel quite counter-intuitive to the energy of Gemini which is rapid, immediate, and constantly jumping from thing to thing. But here we are seeing the application of the information, research, knowledge, experience, and strategies in a direct, and tangible way through Saturn.
This can also be a great time to build, scale, improve, or launch sales pages, offer pages, check out pages, a WooCommerce site, or invest more time, resources, and energy into these assets on your website.
This combined with the Ascendant marks an excellent period for you to leverage this time to grow your brand awareness, improve your brand aesthetics, offer sneak peeks, trailers, behind-the-scenes, or hints, as well as make announcements.
The key under Gemini is to make sure you present only the information that's necessary for them to become informed, to fill in any knowledge gaps, and to help them conceptualize their next steps, use cases, and how this can be applied to them. There can be a desire for a lot of information but not all information will aid them, and much of it will overwhelm, so by outlining ahead of time the arguments you will make in your sales copy, blog posts, or other offer pages, while also including any relevant factual data (statistics, case studies, science), and breaking apart the process to show them where they are and the path forward using your system (the analysis of the information) to get the results they want you'll be able to successfully cut through overwhelm and set them on a clear path forward.
Marketing Advice:
Establish a Solid Brand Presence: The alignment with WordPress' Ascendant highlights the importance of establishing a professional and cohesive brand presence across your website, blog, and other online platforms.
Example Strategies:
-
Customize your WordPress theme to align with your brand's visual identity, utilizing colors, fonts, and imagery that reflect your brand's personality.
-
Craft a compelling and concise About page that clearly communicates your brand's mission, values, and unique selling points.
-
Implement consistent branding elements, such as logos, taglines, and brand messaging, throughout your website and content.

-
Implement categories and tags to classify and organize your content, making it easier for readers to explore related topics.

Utilize page builders or custom templates to ensure a consistent layout and structure across your blog posts and pages.

Conduct thorough research to ensure your content is well-informed, accurate, and provides unique insights or perspectives.
-
Incorporate multimedia elements such as images, infographics, or videos to enhance the visual appeal and engagement of your content.

EMAIL MARKETING
At the beginning of Gemini Energy - Lasting for the 1st day of Gemini Energy: |
Email in All Forms (But Especially Personal Email/ Warm Audience)
☾ Chiron Rx
This a powerful transit that should not be underestimated when it comes to emailing your list. Here we see a lunar return with the Moon in Gemini to Email's charts as well as a conjunction with Chiron Retrograde. The Moon in Gemini sets the stage not only in being an apt descriptor of the act of email in general but especially to a warm audience. Gemini rules communication, networking, connection, teaching, relaying information, processing, integration, application, dissemination, and decision-making. When it's combined with a lunar return it sets the stage for a new cycle beginning with your subscribers, and an opportunity to present new information or a new opportunity for them.
With Chiron Retrograde, your audience is more aware of their wounds and struggles, and you have the ability to convey them clearly in your messages. The retrograde motion empowers them to take action on it without being too 'in the wound' or in the position of being a victim. However, the biggest transformation possible with this transit is for you to aid in this process with your perspectives.Here we have the opportunity to frame new perspectives and help our audience view things from different lenses or positions. Often what prevents people from making changes or taking action is they feel the problem isn't solvable. This often is because as Chiron here demonstrates they believe THEY are the problem, and that renders the issue mute, even if it causes them a lot of mental anguish (Gemini).
Through the power of words (Gemini), we have the ability to reframe (Gemini) their perspectives of their wounds and struggles (Chiron Retrograde) and do something about it. But first, the key is to know these wounds intimately and to help them to dissociate from them by projecting the cause of these issues outside of them. There needs to be other villains or sources of the issue, and this provides them with understanding and compassion towards themselves as well as empowers them to do something about it with the solution that you present them with (Gemini), and the additional benefit during this transit is that you can easily tap into these shared struggles intuitively with the lunar return (the moon is the emotional and intuitive needs of the public, often unconscious).
This is also an opportunity for you to bring attention to patterns, symptoms, or issues that they didn't realize were connected and use this as a jumping-off point to share your system, blueprint, or process. Under Gemini it helps to explain this from a bird's eye approach first, focusing on the pillars or dots and then connecting them through data, research, and a process to help them make sense of how it all goes together.
Marketing Advice:
Cultivate Authentic Connections: The alignment with Email's Moon highlights the importance of establishing authentic connections with your subscribers and building trust through your email communications.
Example Strategies:
-
Personalize your emails by addressing subscribers by their first name and tailoring content based on their preferences and interests.
-
Share personal stories, experiences, and insights to create a genuine and relatable connection with your audience.
-
Use conversational language and tone to foster a sense of familiarity and approachability.
Focus on Emotional Engagement: This transit invites you to tap into the emotional side of your audience and create email content that resonates deeply with their needs, desires, and pain points.
Example Strategies:
-
Incorporate storytelling techniques to evoke emotions and create a compelling narrative within your emails.
-
Ask questions, encourage feedback, and invite subscribers to share their own experiences to foster a sense of community and engagement.
-
Offer exclusive content or special promotions to reward and show appreciation to your loyal subscribers.
Address Communication Wounds: With the Moon conjunct Email's Chiron Retrograde, it's time to address any past communication wounds and heal any areas of your email marketing strategy that may have caused dissatisfaction or disconnection.
Example Strategies:
-
Conduct surveys or feedback loops to understand your subscribers' preferences, concerns, and suggestions for improvement.
-
Apologize for any previous miscommunications or mistakes and outline steps taken to rectify the situation.
-
Implement clear and concise communication practices to ensure that your emails are understood and received as intended.

-
Experiment with different email scheduling and frequency to find the optimal balance that resonates with your audience.
Email Newsletter Marketing
☾
This transit of the Moon in Gemini is also a lunar return of the natal Moon in the chart of Email Newsletter Marketing. Lunar returns are a reset of a cycle, and operate like a 'new moon'. They can be excellent periods to introduce new information, grow your list, introduce a new information product, begin an email series (while leveraging the power of Gemini to help disseminate large amounts of information and research into a system, a series of facts, a process that can be used by your readers), or to kick off a launch warmup period.
Under Gemini, your audience may be struggling with information overload, so the key here is to simplify the information to only what they need to know and understand in order to fill in any gaps in awareness and also aid them in knowing enough to make a decision. Gemini is here to provide context to the content, to provide a frame of reference, and to digest the information for them so that they can easily disseminate it.
The use of bullet points, short key phrases, headlines, and subheads, as well as simple facts are very beneficial to quelling anxiety and ensuring your content is easily readable.
Marketing Advice:
Personalize and Segment: The alignment with Email Newsletter Marketing's Moon highlights the importance of personalization and segmenting your email lists to tailor content based on your subscribers' interests and preferences.

Test different subject lines, calls to action, or layouts to optimize engagement and response rates.

Regularly review and update your email templates and design to ensure they are visually appealing, mobile-friendly, and aligned with your brand identity.
Email Marketing - Cold Emailing & Lead Gen
♀
If you are focusing on lead generation or cold emailing to a list this transit can indicate financial opportunities through the sharing of information, especially information that your prospects are passionate about or align with their values and deeper needs.
Here we see the Moon in Gemini conjunct with the natal Venus of the Email Marketing (cold lead gen)'s chart. Gemini rules communication, networking, connection, teaching, relaying information, processing, integration, application, dissemination, and decision-making, and when in conjunction with Venus cash flow can be generated through these themes so long as you deeply understand the struggle and pain points of your audience.
See what I shared above about how to focus Gemini energy to break down overwhelming information and condense it into an argument with facts, evidence, and context to help frame it in a beneficial and actionable way for your prospects.
Dialing your message in to include their language is important, how do they describe their problem? What do they think their problem is? What do you know their problem is? How can you bring them from where they are to where they need to be? What are their information gaps? How can you fill these gaps without talking at them but instead using inclusive language (think 'we', or 'us', instead of 'you')? Why is it important that they solve this problem now? What do you share in common with them? How can you use this as a rapport builder? Have you done deep research into your prospect and what's important to them? This is a good time to do so.
The key here under Venus is an invitation, sales may come as a byproduct of the rapport and relationship you build, and the sales may not be right away, but what is for certain is that without the rapport and relationship, no sales will come at all, so best to spend the time.
Marketing Advice:
Craft Compelling Messages: The alignment with Email Marketing Lead Generation's Venus highlights the importance of creating captivating and persuasive messages that grab the attention of your subscribers and motivate them to take action.
Example Strategies:
-
Use attention-grabbing subject lines that pique curiosity or offer a compelling benefit.

-
Include social proof, testimonials, or case studies in your emails to build credibility and instill trust in your brand.

Gmail
♂ ASC
This can be an excellent transit for follow-ups and administrative work within Gmail. Here we see the Moon (Public Needs) in Gemini (Information/knowledge/solutions) conjunct with the natal Mars (action/motivation) and Ascendant (Brand Face/Hint/Announcement) of Gmail's chart.
You can use this transit for follow-ups that contain a clear CTA (the key being that you have interacted with them before and this is the final conclusion of your conversations), or to provide clear CTAs in your messages (download this link, book a call, here's my free guide). The key here is the action is based on information, and only you can determine what that information is. However, to give some ideas of what this could look like using emails as an information or resource tool, sharing your thoughts or perspectives, answering questions, sharing a process or a framework, or a series of steps, etc.
The addition of the Ascendant also suggests an excellent time for sales and CTAs as the Ascendant can provide an opportunity for you to release or share something with them, announce something, share an invitation, or introduce yourself for the first time, or provide further information.
The goal under Gemini is to make sure the information is digestible, we can only convey so much in an email, so if you need more space or runway to explain something you can think about an email series, sharing a link to a video, a diagram, or analyzing where they're at and providing the first step or two on addressing what's needed. The information needs to be factual and researched and provide a basis for them to make any necessary decisions, if there are knowledge gaps you'll want to make sure you fill them in before giving a CTA.
Marketing Advice:
Efficient Lead Generation: The alignment with Gmail's Mars highlights the importance of taking proactive steps to generate leads efficiently and effectively.
Example Strategies:
-
Utilize Gmail's integrated tools like Google Forms or Google Sheets to create lead generation forms and capture valuable information from prospects.

-
Leverage Gmail's search and filtering capabilities to organize and prioritize leads, making it easier to focus on the most valuable opportunities.

Enable email tracking to receive notifications when recipients open your emails, allowing you to follow up promptly and capitalize on their engagement.
-

Take advantage of Gmail's "Undo Send" feature to correct any mistakes or make last-minute changes before your emails are sent out.
Email Strategy, Series & Funnel Building
Chiron ☊
An unconscious wound is a desire for information that provides freedom. This transit of the Moon in Gemini is conjunct with the natal Chiron and North Node in Email Strategy's chart. Here holds the effect of a double-edged sword, in the case of your audience their mind, thoughts, beliefs, and perspectives about an issue are causing them harm, and also have the power to free them.
And your understanding of these wounds and beliefs provides you with the opportunity to create a strategy, series, or funnel that helps them to become aware of their suffering and struggles (Chiron), to address and uncover the core issues of what's causing it, to shift the blame off themselves (and onto someone or something else ) so that they can be empowered to change and reach their highest potential and deepest fulfillment (North Node).
There are no sales funnels without Chiron. Chiron is to awaken from the pain we cause ourselves by holding incorrect or skewed views, or beliefs shaped by our experiences and programming.
Under this transit through deep research, understanding the language (Gemini) of your prospects, what they believe they are struggling with, what you know they're struggling with, the symptoms of their problem, their fears and beliefs, and channeling this research into your series, funnel or strategy you can create a healing opportunity for your clients.
The second theme of this transit is the placement of the North Node in Gemini which is a desire for information that helps them to fulfill their greater destiny or higher purpose (their belief in the meaning of their life and what provides the most growth for them in this lifetime). In this case, that is truth, information, personal growth, and application of that information in a direct and personal way.

Email in All Forms (But Especially Personal Email)
☊
If you have leveraged the first half of Gemini to send an email to your list (see the top of this section for my summary forecast) then this can be an excellent period to continue the process as the Moon in Gemini conjuncts the natal North Node of Email's chart.
With the placement of the North Node in Gemini there is a desire for information that helps them to fulfill their greater destiny or higher purpose (their belief in the meaning of their life and what provides the most growth for them in this lifetime).
Using this period to deepen your market research to understand both the immediate challenges they struggle with as well as their deeper, more soul or spiritually-oriented needs for fulfillment in life will be very helpful for you in aligning your copy with their emotional and mental needs under this Moon in Gemini. They are seeking answers at this time to their bigger questions, potentially questions they don't even know they're asking and it's very likely their 'smaller' more immediate problems are actually rooted in this larger unmet need.
In this case, that need is for truth, information, personal growth, and application of information in a direct and personal way. By uniting what they are currently struggling with, with this bigger perspective, and helping them not only see the connection but also to understand the solution to their smaller problem also solves this larger one, you will successfully create long-term client relationships and deeper fulfillment.
What is the collective desire surrounding information from your list? Why did they REALLY sign up? What is the deeper need, or deeper mental struggle? Can you provide insight, information, data, a system, a process, a perspective that helps to shift this struggle and put it into a more lofty, spiritual, or sophisticated perspective, in terms of the growth of their soul?

?♋ Social Media With Cancer
SOCIAL MEDIA WITH THE LUNAR ZODIAC – CANCER SUMMARY
CANCER
NEED: The need during Cancer is to feel seen, valued, and validated. This is the sign of the caretaker, the doer, the nurturer, the one who puts others’ needs above their own.
Our emotions are heightened as the Moon moves through the sign it rules. We are feeling our wounds and triggers more deeply. This can lead to more unsatisfied or otherwise picky or complaining clients and followers if we don’t meet their needs for acknowledgment and validation.
Under Cancer, we are more caught up in the world of the personal, which can activate issues around family trauma, drama, or just feeling more triggered by others’ behavior than usual. We are looking for a safe space to process our emotions, express our hearts, and be seen for how much we’re trying.
We aren’t actively in a space of being able to receive a lot of information, or make any major decisions (unless they somehow tie into our family obligations, or our desire to create more family security).
We can be motivated to do things for others, like our children, our parents, or for who we want to be seen to be (our image to others), especially if we feel it makes us a better person, or fulfilling a role that we really identify with. We are secretly hoping that we will be acknowledged, seen, and valued for the work, but often it doesn’t come in the way, from the right people, at the right timing, or as often as we may need with this sign.
If you can provide that validation, if you can give their feelings a voice during this time they will feel more deeply connected with you, and be more likely to create a deeper relationship with your brand and services.
We may struggle with boundaries during this period, we may feel taken advantage of, victimized, or under-appreciated. We may struggle with saying ‘no’, or saying what we want in a clear way without sounding ‘mean’.
MARKETING: Acknowledge them, give them gifts, validate their efforts, tell them they deserve it, and help them to acknowledge their own value, without needing to wait around for others to say ‘thank you’.
Cancer wants security, the security of the family, and the home, it wants its values respected, for others to pay as much attention and care to things as it does. Do this for them in your marketing.
Use wording like ‘for the mom who’s overworked’, ‘I wanted to do a little something for you because I know you don’t have time to do it for yourself, and I know how much of a difference can make’. ” I want to save you some time because you’ve got important things to do’, and give them something valuable.
Giving during Cancer season or Moons are never forgotten, especially if you are ACTUALLY making their lives easier. This is not a time to shame, blame, guilt trip, imply scarcity, or add any pressure to buy, if you do, it can backfire.
Cancer needs to be comfortable with you before it will invest, or trust. It wants the best for those it cares about, but if it doesn’t feel like you care, it will ditch you – fast, and it won’t forget the opinion it has.
Honestly speaking, unless you can show you deeply care, and want to help, don’t sell during Cancer.
BEST TYPES OF CONTENT/DELIVERY FORMATS FOR CANCER:
- GIVE GIVE GIVE
- Talking about difficult or challenging personal stories, especially with drama, and how you came out on top.
- Talk about ‘petty’ topics relationships with family or close friends, personal situations that happened to you, where someone took advantage, where you had to set boundaries, where something disastrous happened but you resolved it, and what you learned (in your life, your business – whatever you are selling).
- Family, children, home, mothering, parenting, juggling obligations with grace/class, homemaking/caretaking/heart/emotional focus, or whatever is their ‘baby’ (can be business or pets)
- Things that bring more presence, home, security, and harmony into their lives – examples ‘ hands-free mama’, ‘Needlework’, ‘batch cooking’, ‘meal planning’, ‘creating home-based systems – Ikea beautiful organization), pictures of dinners or meals made, or things that come from the heart.
- Videos, especially inspirational brand videos that focus on values/impact.
- The messy human parts of life (pictures, quotes, conversations)
- Emotional content – story-based, workbooks
- Group therapy, coaching, or 1:1 coaching.
- Live streams / Workshops where they are addressing a personal/emotional issue
- Help threads (AMA, Q+A, what are you struggling with)

♄
Here with the Moon in her own sign, we see a conjunction with the natal Saturn in Cancer in Facebook's combined charts. The Moon rules the public and when in its own sign we see an uptick of emotional responses and the filtering of our experiences through a more personal and emotional lens. The thing to keep in mind regarding Cancer is that it is the sign that tends to over give, to the point of exhaustion, and rarely sees acknowledgment of its generosity. One of the main themes to learn under Cancer is healthy boundaries and here with the conjunction of the natal Saturn, you can support your community, friends, and followers by acknowledging what they have sacrificed, how difficult things have been for them, and give them permission to set healthy boundaries for themselves. To give themselves what they hope others would.
Here there is an acknowledgment that their cup is empty, they are more likely to pick, and complain and the balm to soothe this is to dive deep into where they feel underappreciated, how much they often take on in terms of responsibility and emotional burden, validate it, acknowledge them for it, and support them in nourishing themselves (however that may look). Think of the deeper emotional layers of the struggles you support clients through in your work; what they often spend a lot of time and energy doing, without much recognition. What are their biggest sources of guilt, or patterns that they often repeat due to feeling they're not enough, or that their value is tied to what they can accomplish, or the approval they receive from others?
With the activation of Saturn, this transit indicates a powerful opportunity for you to build rapport with your community by addressing their emotional needs and wounds, through acknowledgment, solutions, or support. Saturn rules our business foundations, and what is built over time. It asks us for sacrifice, demands our commitment and time, and leads to the eventual rewards we seek. Your community is tired, they feel underappreciated, just like you might. Tap into what you're struggling with and what you have in common with your community. Build your brand around this deep level of caring and acknowledgment, and you'll build a brand with staying power, where people feel seen, heard, and understood.
What are the core emotional barriers that your community needs to have acknowledged, discussed, or nourished? Can you build your content around these needs and validate them?

Facebook Groups
☋
Here we see an opportunity arising from the foundational relationships and connections we've made within our community. With the transit Moon conjunct the Natal South Node in Cancer in Facebook Group's combined charts, we are drawing from our emotional connections, rapport, nourishment, and mutual understanding within our community. Under the influence of Cancer, your people need A LOT of refilling.
They are likely drained and feel underappreciated. With this activating the South Node we are reminded that this is NOT a time for new content, new offers, or new announcements, but rather a time to leverage the relationships, content, and offers you already have available. Before you ask for a sale, you'll want to make sure you've over-given to your community and shower them with love, nourishment, acknowledgment, and appreciation.
To give you a visual to help you understand this transit, I want you to think of a single mother of 3 small children, no family support, working 3 jobs, never getting a decent night's sleep, never taking time for herself, who has neglected her own self-care because she has three little people demanding every ounce from her, and she doesn't want to fail them, or fail at what she sees as her most important job, to care for them.
The truth is even if your clients don't fit this description, it helps you to put into perspective the level of neglect we're dealing with, especially if you serve primarily women or caregivers. A common uniting theme that arises especially during Cancer is that this level of care is often devalued in our society and yet so many of us tie our very self-worth to serving, taking responsibility, and the care we give to others. And so we have a chronically distressed society that doesn't take care of themselves, set healthy boundaries, or ever put themselves or their needs first (so that they can then have enough to care for others).
The truth is most people care too much and take on responsibilities (physical and emotional) that aren't theirs. Supporting them to set them down and take care of themselves will win you deep points, and respect from your people (because no one else is doing this for them!)
When you see exactly how fragile everything is, you'll have a deeper level of compassion for cranky clients, and people who seem critical or non-appreciative during this time, which this period in the cycle can amplify. If this happens to you, set healthy boundaries for yourself, don't take on responsibility for other people's emotions, but wrap them in a big hug, send as much love as you can, and move on. Often I find when this has happened to me, and I respond that way, they later come back and apologize.
The activation of the South Node here is a reminder to make sure to fill your own cup first, and then from there take your overflow and give generously to your community, re-share valuable content, experiences, and offers that support them. Use more emotional copy in your posts, connect with their language and struggles, and give them permission to give less fucks. From there, you're paving the way for a tight-knit community built on trust, and rapport with people who know you get them.
Marketing Advice:
Authentic and Relevant Content: The alignment with Facebook Groups' South Node invites you to create authentic and relevant content that resonates with the interests and needs of your group members.

Facebook Business Pages & Ads
♂
A robust transit to run emotionally-oriented Facebook Ads and posts to your Business Page. Here we see the Moon (public) conjunct natal Mars (action) in Cancer (their personal/emotional lives and family) in the chart of Facebook Business Pages & Ads.
You know that feeling of guilt you get when you purchase something expensive or 'unnecessary' for yourself? That level of regret is a feeling that your community has, and it is a feeling that you don't want them to associate with your brand. Otherwise, they will connect any reminders of that purchase or any potential future purchases with feeling terrible about themselves. The power in this transit is that if you can leverage your content and advertising copy to focus on acknowledging these unmet needs, and that they are deserving of what it is they want and need for themselves (usually we don't come straight out and say this but it is implied or alluded to) this helps them to not only notice these needs in themselves but to then come to a place of validation in themselves. Without this necessary step, they may purchase your offer, and then feel that regret we talked about (due to not clearing these emotions and beliefs in themselves), and then seek out a refund, complain about the quality/content/their expectations, or ultimately not use it at all because of the pain it triggers in them due to these emotions.
Here it is important to be very clear on their struggles, their underlying pain or wounds that maybe they don't even acknowledge to themselves, the language they use to describe this struggle, and also the emotional context and space they're occupying so as to set the stage of your offer operating as a salve to their open wound, or as an oasis to their dehydration.
The offer should be more emotional in nature, and meet these layers of unmet needs in your client, and when combined with a clear CTA, and benefits of acting now, especially if those benefits help them to be better equipped to serve or support others (ie a better mom, a better coach, a better physician, etc).
Here the motivation is emotional and based on their sense of responsibility and obligation.
Marketing Advice:
Strategic Ad Campaigns: The alignment with Facebook Business Pages and Ads' Mars invites you to develop targeted and strategic ad campaigns that grab attention and inspire action.

Facebook Messenger
☾
This transit marks the beginning of a new cycle for Facebook Messenger, with the transit Moon in Cancer conjunct with the natal Moon in Cancer in Facebook Messenger's chart. Known as a lunar return this period behaves similar to a 'New Moon', and can be utilized as an opportunity to initiate new deeper connections through Facebook Messenger.
It's important that your approach be one of a sincere desire to connect and consideration, rather than a desire to get something out of them, because under Cancer emotionally we are already feeling burnt out and taken advantage of. Two feelings don't bode well when you ask someone who doesn't really know you well for something (a favor, cash, or their time).
This can be a good time to follow up with warm leads, to be generous with your community by giving them something, and using Facebook Messenger to deliver it (sharing a link, etc). The key with Cancer energy is to over-give especially from an emotional perspective, and to stay attuned to the emotional challenges of your audience and leads. If you understand their struggles, and you can empathize with them, and use this time to nourish them you'll find it pays off later in dividends. Because there is no better opportunity to build a solid connection with someone than by giving them something they need, without strings attached. Remember Cancer naturally rules the 4th house of home and family, as well as family origins, and operates as a double-edged sword, on one side, it represents family-like connections, responsibility, and emotional connection, on the other side it can represent those we owe things to, gaslighting, emotional betrayal and manipulation and some of the malignancies that can often run rampant through generations and leave scars.
This is a time to bring healing through solutions, generosity, authenticity, and compassion, by doing so you build true relationships with people who will not forget your generosity.
Marketing Advice:
Create a Supportive Community: Leverage the nurturing energy of Cancer to build a supportive community within Facebook Messenger.
Example Strategies:
-
Establish a Facebook Messenger group where members can connect, ask questions, and share experiences related to your product or service.
-
Foster a sense of community by encouraging participants to support and uplift each other.
-
Share valuable resources, tips, or exclusive content within the group to provide ongoing support.
Personalized Emotional Connection: Use the emotional energy of Cancer to create personalized and meaningful connections with your leads and customers.
Example Strategies:
-
Send personalized messages that address individual needs, concerns, or challenges.
-
Share stories or experiences that resonate with your audience and evoke emotions.
-
Express genuine empathy and understanding in your conversations, making your leads feel heard and valued.
Nurturing Follow-Up Campaigns: Leverage the nurturing nature of Cancer to develop follow-up campaigns that focus on building relationships and guiding leads through the customer journey.
Example Strategies:
-
Implement drip campaigns that deliver a series of nurturing messages, providing valuable content and resources along the way.
-
Use Facebook Messenger's features, such as tags or labels, to segment your leads and tailor your follow-up messages to their specific interests or actions.
-
Offer personalized recommendations or next steps based on the individual's needs and preferences.
Empathetic Customer Support: Use Cancer's empathetic energy to provide exceptional customer support through Facebook Messenger.
Example Strategies:
-
Respond promptly and genuinely to inquiries, demonstrating your commitment to helping your customers.
-
Take the time to understand the challenges or issues your customers are facing and provide personalized solutions.
-
Offer proactive assistance by anticipating potential problems or concerns and addressing them proactively.

♄ Rx
Here with this transit, we see the Moon in Cancer conjunct with the natal Saturn Retrograde in Facebook Group's combined charts. This is a powerful transit as we have the Moon in its own sign, and conjunct Saturn in its opposing sign (Saturn naturally rules Capricorn, the opposite sign of Cancer). Both Cancer and Capricorn, the Moon, and Saturn rule obligations, roles, duties, responsibilities (emotional and physical), and burdens.
With Saturn being retrograde, we see a pause here in commitments and a sense of reprieve from obligations and duties, an opportunity to revisit what we are committing to, and where we are investing ourselves. In the case of Facebook Groups, we see that commitment within your community, as well as the foundations of your community, are built upon deep connections, compassion, support, and the establishment of healthy boundaries that create freedom.
It is a place where they will not be shamed or feel judged to share their true feelings around their struggles to build _______ (whatever it is you help them with).
Here we are not seeking long-term commitments in terms of what is being shared but rather providing an opportunity for our community to explore different potentials that can provide solutions, security, and support for them. Here we are playing with potential ideas and encouraging them to try on different 'outfits/roles' to see what suits them best.
This can be a good time to emotionally approach your core content, to share core materials that support them both physically and emotionally to build more of a solid foundation for themselves.
Where are they struggling emotionally, what can you provide that will help support them at this time? Here we are planting seeds for their future commitment by stabilizing what is out of control or emotionally taxing them.
This also indicates that the relationships you build in your community will take time, and through that time and the generosity of your understanding, compassion, and support they will grow, and become a stable part of your business.
Marketing Advice:
Establish Clear Guidelines: Use the disciplined energy of Saturn Retrograde to define clear guidelines and expectations for your Facebook Group.
Example Strategies:
-
Create a pinned post that outlines the purpose of the group, community rules, and guidelines for engagement.
-
Set clear boundaries for self-promotion and ensure members understand the value of contributing to the community.

Facebook Posts
☾♄
Just like the transit above for Facebook Posts and Facebook Messenger, here we see the Moon conjunct the natal Moon and Saturn in Cancer. This creates both a lunar return (new cycle/public needs) and activation of the planet Saturn (commitment/foundations).
With the lunar activation, especially in its own sign, this is a period where the public in general is a lot more emotional and open with their feelings and a time where needs are more apparent on the platform of Facebook.
This serves as an excellent period for you to tap into the emotional pain of your followers by understanding their struggles and challenges, the root origins and potential solutions to address these issues, as well as how they would describe these challenges (specific words, and language). Writing more emotional copy, uniting you with your audience, as a group who is in it together is very powerful under Cancer. Using words like 'us' and 'we' rather than 'you', help them to know that you too struggle with this and that they are not alone or a failure for having these challenges.
The key here is to remember to fill their cup before you ask for anything at this time. The inclusion of Saturn in this transit indicates this can be an excellent time for inviting and securing commitment to your offers, or to the next steps with your followers, so long as you not only acknowledge where they're at, and why it's needed to do something now, but also to indicate where things are going in the future, and how doing something now, and specifically what you're advocating for will help them build a more secure future, or address the root challenges they're navigating and provide relief is an important aspect of your content at this time.
There is more of a willingness to emotionally commit at this time so long as they feel you are authentic, and that they will get the support they need to make the changes they wish to make.Otherwise, if it's too premature, or we have not done enough bread crumbing emotionally leading up to this point you may get people who naturally resist or feel pressure, so making sure you are going deep and personal enough into their challenges is important so that you can make sure your offer is meeting these needs.
Marketing Advice:
Authentic Brand Storytelling: Use the nurturing energy of the Moon in Cancer to connect with your audience on an emotional level through authentic brand storytelling.
Example Strategies:
-
Share personal stories or experiences that align with your brand values and resonate with your audience's emotions.
-
Use Facebook Live or video content to create a genuine connection, allowing your audience to see the human side of your brand.
-
Highlight customer success stories or testimonials that showcase the positive impact of your products or services.
Engaging Content Creation: Leverage the nurturing energy of the Moon in Cancer to create engaging and meaningful content on Facebook.

How many times does the average consumer need to see or be exposed to an offer before it has gone deep enough into their subconscious and marinated with their emotional needs and wants before they’re ready to say yes? According to statistics, this ranges somewhere between 8-12 times, meaning that the more repetitive you are, and the more dialed in you are to your market, their language, and their needs, and the more your offer fills these needs the more income you’re likely to generate. And this transit speaks to the potential impact of doing so. Here we see the Moon in Cancer (the sign it rules) conjunct with the natal South Node and Saturn in the combined charts of Instagram.
In general, the South Node represents the past, including your past experiences, wisdom, expertise, history, and accomplishments, and when in the sign of Cancer, this involves personal and family experiences, our emotional origins, and a sense of obligation and responsibility to those we care about, as well as what we are seeking from those experiences. In essence, it indicates our emotional behaviors and habits. From a content perspective, this suggests re-sharing emotionally aligned content that reflects to your audience some of the situations or emotional states they’re occupying or moving through now while providing support. This isn’t a time for new content, but rather previously shared or discussed themes or elements that you have already alluded to or covered in-depth in the past. It provides an opportunity for you to re-introduce these themes and topics to your followers, especially from an emotional perspective or lens.
With the addition of Saturn in Cancer, this only further hammers home the sense of obligation and responsibility we and our followers carry. What is burdening them? What do they take responsibility for that possibly isn’t theirs or that could benefit from reframing or healthy boundaries?
Either way, this period indicates an opportunity through exposure to previously addressed concepts and content to commit, invest, or apply the information and build a more solid foundation. The need to do this will stem from an emotional place and likely will involve their family obligations or expectations of themselves in relation to those they care about and their responsibilities.
The content is likely to be emotionally focused, inspiring them to de-burden themselves with what isn’t theirs to own, facilitate the creation of healthy boundaries, and provide them with permission slips and emotional validation as well as an opportunity for them to implement the core methods or philosophy of your work.
Marketing Advice:
Nostalgic and Authentic Content: Utilize the reflective energy of the Moon in Cancer conjunct Instagram's natal South Node to create nostalgic and authentic content that resonates with your audience's emotions and memories.
Example Strategies:
-
Share personal stories, experiences, or throwbacks that evoke sentimental feelings and encourage engagement from your audience.
-
Utilize Instagram's features, such as Stories or Reels, to showcase behind-the-scenes moments or share memories related to your brand or industry.
-
Encourage your audience to share their nostalgic moments and experiences, fostering a sense of connection and community.
Consistent and Meaningful Branding: Emphasize the importance of consistent branding and meaningful content creation during this period. Saturn's influence prompts you to establish a solid and reliable presence on Instagram.
Example Strategies:
-
Define and adhere to a consistent visual style, color palette, and tone of voice in your Instagram posts and stories.
-
Craft content that aligns with your brand's values, mission, and identity, ensuring each piece adds value and resonates with your target audience.
-
Develop a content calendar or schedule to maintain a regular posting cadence and reinforce your brand's reliability and commitment.
Engage in Meaningful Conversations: With the Moon in Cancer conjunct Instagram's natal South Node, prioritize building genuine connections and engaging in meaningful conversations with your audience.

Personally motivating content that inspires action, acknowledgment, and validation of emotional investment of your followers. Here we see the transit Moon in Cancer conjunct the natal Mars in Instagram’s combined charts. Mars represents an opportunity for sales, launching, and clear CTAs (any action you’d like them to take), and when in Cancer we see the motivation be personal and emotional. Being in touch with their specific struggles, and the language they use to describe these struggles, especially in areas where they feel underappreciated or undervalued, or burnt out from over-giving to those they care about can help to inform your copy, your approach, and your ROI from the strategies you implement at this time.
Use emotionally motivating content to capture the heart of the matter, and channel their emotions into action for themselves. If we have clientele who are burnt out, and struggling with their own energy they are not likely to take action unless they believe they have the power to do something about their situation (victim-ness under Cancer is very common), and that they are justified and worthy of doing so (validation and acknowledgment are important shifting mechanisms in copy to move them from victim to empowered, from undeserving to deserving) as they can stop seeking external validation and give it themselves instead.
Marketing Advice:
Bold and Energetic Content: Harness the energetic influence of the Moon in Cancer conjunct Instagram's natal Mars to create bold and vibrant content that grabs attention and inspires action.
Example Strategies:
-
Use eye-catching visuals, such as bright colors, bold typography, or striking images, to create an immediate impact and capture your audience's attention as they scroll through their feeds.
-
Craft compelling captions that convey a sense of enthusiasm, urgency, or empowerment, encouraging your audience to engage with your content or take action.
-
Experiment with dynamic video content, such as Instagram Reels or Stories, to deliver messages with high energy and visual appeal.
Action-Oriented Call-to-Actions: Leverage the assertive nature of Mars to incorporate strong and actionable call-to-actions in your Instagram marketing.
Example Strategies:
-
Encourage your audience to take specific actions, such as "Shop Now," "Learn More," or "Swipe Up," to drive traffic to your website, landing pages, or product pages.
-
Utilize interactive features like polls, quizzes, or contests to engage your audience and invite them to participate actively.
-
Incorporate time-limited offers, discounts, or promotions to create a sense of urgency and motivate immediate action from your audience.
Influencer Collaborations and Partnerships: Capitalize on the assertive energy of Mars by seeking out influencer collaborations and partnerships to amplify your reach and engagement on Instagram.
Example Strategies:
-
Identify influencers or thought leaders in your niche or industry whose audience aligns with your target market. Reach out to them for collaboration opportunities, such as sponsored posts, product reviews, or guest appearances on their Instagram Stories.

Jupiter rules publishing, PR, teaching, personal and spiritual growth, and risk-taking. Here we see an activation by the Moon in Cancer conjunct with the natal Jupiter Retrograde in TikTok’s combined charts. This can highlight previously released content or topics (retrograde) that are of an emotional or personal nature (Cancer). Some of the more common themes of Cancer are self-care, domestic roles and duties, emotional responsibility and obligation, over-giving, lack of boundaries, victim-ness, taking things personally, not feeling valued or appreciated, running on empty, feeling ‘tapped out’ emotionally, women’s challenges, unpaid labor (emotional /physical/ mental), and learning to fill one’s own cup first.
With Jupiter Retrograde, we may be exploring some of these themes in relation to finances, personal or spiritual growth, belief systems/faith, writing/teaching/publishing, or taking ‘risks’ of a more emotional nature. With this being retrograde many of these themes may be running on an internal level, or being brought up through addressing the ‘symptoms’ and shifting the responsibility of these challenges away from your followers and onto society, media, beliefs, family patterns, etc. Jupiter can also indicate opportunities for cashflow and business growth through discussing these topics, however with it retrograde we are approaching it with the understanding that it may take a while for the rewards of our efforts to show up, or they may show up in more unexpected ways, ie followers versus cash, engagement versus sign-ups, referrals versus direct clients, etc.
It’s important to remember that under Cancer your audience is looking for recognition of their labor and efforts, to feel emotionally valued and validated, because they are likely not receiving it from their circle. With this transit, we carry the power of giving them a voice, through acknowledgment and outside validation and inspiring them to acknowledge themselves, review their true obligations, and set healthy boundaries so they can take their power back.
Marketing Advice:
Embrace Creativity and Authenticity: With the influence of Jupiter retrograde, focus on expressing your creativity in a genuine and unique way that resonates with your audience on TikTok.
Example Strategies:
-
Experiment with different video formats, effects, and editing techniques to create visually appealing and engaging content.

Inspire and Educate: Tap into Jupiter's expansive energy to inspire and educate your TikTok audience, providing value and fostering a sense of growth and optimism.
Example Strategies:
-

-

The generation of sales and clients is more than just a great offer, or exceptional copy, it's rooted in understanding the deeper emotions, needs, and motivations of your potential clients, and giving those needs, emotions, and motivations a voice through their own language, and by providing the necessary emotional and mental insights they need to move them from where they are to where they want to be (and where they’re ready to commit to doing something about it). Here we see the Moon (Public/Needs) in Cancer (home/heart/personal/security) conjunct with the natal Mercury (information/education/processing/implementation/decisions) in TikTok’s chart.
With Mercury being direct, we are free to not only discuss these underlying emotional needs and challenges openly with our community but they are also more available to process that information, apply it, and make clear decisions around it, and in connection with the Moon this will be highly focused on their needs, wants and emotions currently (so long as you’ve done your research).
Here we are moving them from being a victim or being the cause of their problems to being validated, and not to blame for what they’re experiencing. The reason this is important is that those who feel like they’re a victim or who feel they are the cause and blame themselves as the reason things aren’t working for them don’t make changes.
Here we can support our followers through a process of educating them from where they’re at, focusing on the symptoms of their challenges, and the villains who are the cause (society, media, their upbringing, the government, Hollywood, etc), providing validation of what they have struggled through and how much they give and then moving them into empowerment through setting healthy boundaries, ending their shame and inspiring them to take action.
When we combine our words with highly descriptive emotions and validate their experiences and use this to inform, educate and guide them, this can be an incredibly powerful transit for your TikTok Events. If you focus on over-giving, and indulging these emotions at the beginning of your event, you can likely generate sales, or clear CTAs from your event (ie sign up for your email, join an event, or buy your product or service). Skipping or bypassing these emotional needs is a mistake however as under Cancer they are all-encompassing and become part of the filter they view their world through at the moment, and given that 80% of buying is emotions, this can be an asset for you, or your downfall if not used well.
Marketing Advice:
Clear and Engaging Communication: With Mercury's influence, prioritize clear and engaging communication during your TikTok Live Events to ensure that your message comes across effectively.
Example Strategies:
-
Plan and prepare a script or outline to guide your live event, ensuring a smooth flow of information and engaging content.
-
Use visuals, props, or interactive elements to enhance the visual appeal and keep your audience captivated.
-
Encourage audience participation by asking questions, conducting polls, or inviting viewers to share their thoughts and reactions in real-time.
Emotionally Resonant Content: Focus on creating TikTok Live Events that evoke emotional responses and forge deeper connections with your audience.
Example Strategies:
-
Share personal stories, experiences, or anecdotes that align with your brand's values and resonate with your audience's emotions.
-
Incorporate elements of humor, inspiration, or nostalgia to create a positive and uplifting atmosphere during the live event.
-
Engage in authentic and vulnerable conversations that touch upon relatable topics, allowing your audience to feel connected and understood.
Foster Interaction and Engagement: Mercury's influence encourages you to actively engage with your audience during TikTok Live Events, fostering a sense of community and participation.
Example Strategies:
-
Respond to audience comments, questions, and messages in real-time, creating a dynamic and interactive experience.
-
Encourage viewers to interact with each other by facilitating discussions, debates, or collaborative activities during the live event.
-
Incorporate interactive features such as polls, quizzes, or challenges to encourage active engagement and participation.

-
Invite guest experts or influencers to participate in your live events, bringing additional insights and expertise to the discussion.

-
Share behind-the-scenes moments, glimpses into your creative process, or challenges you face to create a relatable and authentic experience.

A potent transit that should not be underestimated. Here we see the Moon in Cancer conjunct the natal Sun and Midheaven in TikTok’s combined charts. The Sun operates like a spotlight highlighting and bringing attention, awareness, and life, especially to the themes that fall under Cancer such as self-care, domestic roles and duties, emotional responsibility and obligation, over-giving, lack of boundaries, victim-ness, taking things personally, not feeling valued or appreciated, running on empty, feeling ‘tapped out’ emotionally, women’s challenges, unpaid labor (emotional /physical/ mental), and learning to fill one’s own cup first.

Here we see the Moon in Cancer conjunct the natal Sun and Midheaven in TikTok’s combined charts. The Sun operates like a spotlight highlighting and bringing attention, awareness, and life, especially to the themes that fall under Cancer such as self-care, domestic roles and duties, emotional responsibility and obligation, over-giving, lack of boundaries, victim-ness, taking things personally, not feeling valued or appreciated, running on empty, feeling ‘tapped out’ emotionally, women’s challenges, unpaid labor (emotional /physical/ mental), and learning to fill one’s own cup first.
Because the Sun is a natural spotlight this is an important opportunity for you to discuss the matters most important to your followers through an emotional lens, and ideally around the themes or topics I mentioned above for Cancer.
How do these themes shape your offers, focus, or brand of your business? How can you use this period to bring more personal authenticity to your business by demonstrating your care and understanding of these struggles? This is a great time to over give, emotionally validate, acknowledge, and outline symptoms and impacts of not addressing these themes and issues directly, so that your followers get the permission slip they’re needing to create healthy emotional waves in their lives.

YouTube Shorts also shares the same Midheaven sign as YouTube does, which makes the transit summary the same for both platforms. Please see the above summary to help inform your content for this period.

Here we see the transit Moon conjunct the natal Ascendant in Cancer in Twitter’s combined charts. The Ascendant rules the ‘first introduction’, ‘first impression’, ‘first exposure’, ‘first announcement’, hint or preview of new content, material, or your brand itself. Under the influence of Cancer, we see that the best approach here is not only emotional and focused on the needs, wants, and wounds of your community but also to be generous and nurturing.
Cancer is the sign that unites us all, we all have an origin story, we are all human, with a range of human emotions, and we all to one degree or another share the same emotional struggles such as finding our place in the world, understanding our value and contribution, feeling responsible for others and ourselves, navigating obligations and sacrifice, and the wounds we carry around these areas within our lives and within ourselves. Here we are learning the lessons of being human, from life to death, and everything in-between, and how we emotionally process this, and the level of support we have through that process varies between people, however in many cases it just simply isn’t enough. This means that we were often taught to put the needs of others before ourselves, this is especially challenging for women, and as a result, often are operating with a near to completely empty cup. And the built-in kicker is that we are also programmed to feel guilt for taking care of ourselves, because our value is often denoted by what we do for others, while also simultaneously rewarding us for silencing our own needs.
The trouble is that this isn’t sustainable and we inevitably exist within a community that is teetering on the edge of burnout. Under this transit, you have the power to give your followers a permission slip to take care of themselves, which begins by validating their struggles, acknowledging their labor, and letting them know they’re valued and important, and that it’s okay to create healthy boundaries and to also re-evaluate their responsibilities and if they are doing more than their share. As a byproduct of this, your products and services can be ways in which they can achieve this or fulfill it for themselves.

LinkedIn Groups
⨀
Here we see the Moon in Cancer conjunct the natal Sun in LinkedIn Groups chart. The Sun operates like a spotlight highlighting and bringing attention, awareness, and life, especially to the themes that fall under Cancer such as self-care, domestic roles and duties, emotional responsibility and obligation, over-giving, lack of boundaries, victim-ness, taking things personally, not feeling valued or appreciated, running on empty, feeling ‘tapped out’ emotionally, women’s challenges, unpaid labor (emotional /physical/ mental), and learning to fill one’s own cup first.
Because the Sun is a natural spotlight this is an important opportunity for you to discuss the matters most important to your community members through an emotional lens, and ideally around the themes or topics I mentioned above for Cancer.
How do these themes shape your offers, focus, or brand of your business? How can you use this period to bring more personal authenticity to your business by demonstrating your care and understanding of these struggles? This is a great time to over give, emotionally validate, acknowledge, and outline symptoms and impacts of not addressing these themes and issues directly, so that your followers get the permission slip they’re needing to create healthy emotional waves in their lives.
This can also be a great time to grow your LinkedIn Group by sharing relevant content with an emotional lens, and bringing attention to these needs and emotional challenges for them, while also providing a community that understands and supports them. Your content is likely to take on more of an emotional or nurturing focus at this time, helping your people where they are at and also helping them to step out of being a victim through acknowledgment of their labor, giving them a permission slip to take care of themselves, helping them to draw healthy boundaries, and reminding them of their own value. If you have products or services that help them through this process, this can be a great time to share them, after you have spent some time filling their cup and giving them support (and possibly gifts).
Marketing Advice:
Emphasize Emotional Connection: Leverage the Moon's influence to cultivate emotional connections within LinkedIn Groups.
Example Strategies:
-
Encourage members to share personal experiences and stories related to their professional journey.
-

☾♀
Unfolding at this time we see a lunar return in the sign of Cancer as well as a conjunction with Venus in Spotify Podcast’s chart.
A lunar return indicates the beginning of a new cycle for your listeners and within your content itself, and when combined with Venus, especially in Cancer increases your ability to share emotionally poignant content, that speaks to the heart of the matter, amplifying your shared values while also opening the doors on income generation and cashflow.
This can be a great opportunity for promotion during a launch, so long as you first warm up your audience by generously giving to them or rather rewarding them in some way by providing something high value to them. Doing so promotes the natural act of reciprocity, and builds rapport with your community before you move into asking something of them (signing up, subscribing, sharing, buying, etc).
It’s important to note that under Cancer we are all operating with a more emotional lens and as a byproduct themes such as self-care, domestic roles and duties, emotional responsibility and obligation, over-giving, lack of boundaries, victim-ness, taking things personally, not feeling valued or appreciated, running on empty, feeling ‘tapped out’ emotionally, women’s challenges, unpaid labor (emotional /physical/ mental), and learning to fill one’s own cup first will take precedent.
Hosting guests whose line of work is more emotional in nature, opening discussion around more emotional topics, especially those highlighted above, sharing insights into your own struggles and some suggestions to help support your listeners if they too are also experiencing those challenges, or explaining the background of your product or service if it’s origins were the result of your own emotional struggles can be very helpful and strengthen your listener base as well as potentially generate growth or sales for you at this time.
Marketing Advice:
Authentic and Vulnerable Storytelling: Leverage the nurturing energy of the Moon in Cancer to share personal stories and experiences that evoke emotions and create a sense of intimacy.
Example Strategies:
-
Open up about your own journey and challenges, allowing your vulnerability to connect with listeners on a deeper level.
-
Share stories of triumph, resilience, or personal growth that inspire and empower your audience.
-
Encourage listeners to share their own stories and experiences, fostering a supportive and inclusive community.

This transit marks an excellent opportunity for education and teaching that is approached from a more emotional lens. Here we see the Moon (Public/Needs) in Cancer (home/ heart/ personal/ security) conjunct with the natal Mercury (information/ education/ processing/ implementation/ decisions) in Google Podcasts chart.
With Mercury being direct, we are free to not only discuss these underlying emotional needs and challenges openly with our listeners but they are also more available to process that information, apply it, and make clear decisions around it, and in connection with the Moon this will be highly focused on their needs, wants and emotions currently (so long as you’ve done your research).
Here we are moving them from being a victim or being the cause of their problems to being validated, and not to blame for what they’re experiencing. The reason this is important is that those who feel like they’re a victim or who feel they are the cause and blame themselves as the reason things aren’t working for them don’t make changes.
Supporting your followers through a process of educating them from where they’re at, focusing on the symptoms of their challenges, and the villains who are the cause (society, media, their upbringing, the government, Hollywood, etc), providing validation of what they have struggled through and how much they give and then moving them into empowerment through setting healthy boundaries, ending their shame and inspiring them to take action is the overarching theme of this period.
When we combine our words with highly descriptive emotions and validate their experiences and use this to inform, educate and guide them, this can be an incredibly powerful transit for your podcast on Google. If you focus on over giving, and indulging these emotions at the beginning of your podcast you can likely generate sales, or clear CTAs (ie sign up for your email, join an event, or buy your product or service). Skipping or bypassing these emotional needs is a mistake however as under Cancer they are all-encompassing and become part of the filter they view their world through at the moment, and given that 80% of buying is emotions, this can be an asset for you, or your downfall if not used well.
Hosting guests who explore more emotional topics, or sharing your own origin story and the pain or challenges you experienced around it which brought you to creating your offer, community or system is also an excellent direction to kick your podcast off under this transit.
Marketing Advice:
Embrace Emotional Storytelling: Craft episodes that evoke strong emotions and connect with your listeners' personal experiences.
Example Strategies:
-
Share personal stories and anecdotes that resonate with your audience's emotions, highlighting moments of vulnerability and growth.
-
Feature guest interviews that delve into their emotional journeys, providing relatable experiences that inspire and connect with listeners.
-
Use music, sound effects, and audio enhancements to enhance the emotional impact of your storytelling.
Cultivate a Safe and Supportive Community: Create a podcasting environment that fosters a sense of belonging and encourages listeners to engage with one another.
Example Strategies:
-
Establish a private Facebook group or online forum where listeners can connect, share their experiences, and support one another.
-
Encourage listeners to send in their stories, questions, and comments, creating a sense of community and facilitating meaningful interactions.
-
Regularly acknowledge and appreciate your listeners, making them feel valued and recognized.
Authentic Conversations and Listener Involvement: Foster open and authentic conversations with your audience, inviting them to be active participants in your podcast.
Example Strategies:
-
Ask for listener input and feedback on topics, allowing them to shape the direction of future episodes.
-
Conduct live Q&A sessions or host virtual events where listeners can interact with you and other community members in real-time.
-
Respond to listener questions and comments during your episodes, creating a sense of connection and engagement.

♄
With Saturn in Cancer, we are reminded of the power of emotional consistency and security through content and conversation. Here we see the transit Moon (Public) in Cancer (emotional needs/nurturing/support) conjunct natal Saturn (commitment/foundation/sacrifice) in the chart of Apple Podcasts. This means that one of the things that your listeners are looking for from you is tried and tested methods and approaches that not only address the process and tangible steps they can take to move forward and make progress but also tools and acknowledgment through the emotional journey that takes place simultaneously as they navigate the human element and world inside of them.
Saturn also indicates what is built over time, which requires sacrifice, mastery, and commitment. Here we see that your building of your community not only can happen through consistently creating your podcasts and releasing them through Apple but also your familiarity with your listeners and your emotional reliability in your content creates life-long subscribers and clients. Here we are acknowledging that the journey is long and that anything worth doing will take time, we are not hustling ourselves into oblivion and are instead focusing on quality over quantity.
Get clear with how often you wish to release your podcasts, taking into account both what is realistic for you and your listeners. Commit to the process you’ll take them through and the core content you’ll address repeatedly through your material. This is what helps to solidify your brand and helps your listeners know what to expect from you. By doing this you not only become a cornerstone in their lives, but also your content has an opportunity to take root, but you also solidify your status and reputation as an expert and someone they can trust.
Some of the content best to explore during this time is foundational content (both tangible and emotional), that makes up the framework of your methods, approach, or teaching. Something that can be leveraged over and over again through time (that which isn’t time-sensitive), and that forms the basis of people working with you, or moving through your material or offers. What do they need to understand, implement, or acknowledge in order to truly benefit? This becomes your core foundational material and the root of any of your offers including the content on your podcast.
Don’t forget that this transit is more emotional in nature, and emphasizes the themes of Cancer such as self-care, domestic roles and duties, emotional responsibility and obligation, over giving, lack of boundaries, victim-ness, taking things personally, not feeling valued or appreciated, running on empty, feeling ‘tapped out’ emotionally, women’s challenges, unpaid labor (emotional /physical/ mental), and learning to fill one’s own cup first. This makes up the lens through which you cover some of the core or foundational content.
