I’m not telling you to make the world better, because I don’t think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I’m just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment. And if you ask me why you should bother to do that, I could tell you that the grave’s a fine and private place, but none I think do there embrace. Nor do they sing there, or write, or argue, or see the tidal bore on the Amazon, or touch their children.

Susan- this is absolutely brilliant. You are by far the most wise and thoughtful astrologer on You Tube. Listening to you is both calming and inspiring. Thank you
Watched the E yesterday and today was a total meltdown with our clients!,,yesterday felt fun. Today I had the most heartbreaking client melt down day .. ( am in social work,) .. the contrast was extremely incredible.....
I'm sorry Please forgive me Thank you I love you Thanks so much, once again Susan. I can already feel the expansion in my heart from meditating on those beautifully simple yet powerful words..
Susan you are a phenomenal astrologer, you never fail to deliver! My main focus is Vedic but as you know you can't have one without the other. I'll take that advice and not take anything personal astrologically, rather just observe it! Thank you so much!❤
Libra rising, Scorpio sun, Pisces moon. For me it's about career. My soul is struggling where I am, I recently thought to myself how it wasn't feeding my soul. I have to move on to be more aligned with who I am. Your description couldn't have been more on point and it helped me to drop any guilt I had about leaving. ❤
I'm a ♋Rising and ♒sun...Perfect illustration of the strenght of Astrology. Starting my 2nd year of Astrology studies to become proffesional both in Tarot and Astrology. I'm so determined, and this path is so clear to me its crazy! So a shift in career is prominent and obvious. Thank you for your clear interpretations🙏
@@melisasanchez3696 How Fantastic. Hardly ever met someone with the same signs❤..Well i reckon we are one of a kind. Anyways thats what people always tell me😊🙏
My libra asc is 14, and natal Chiron 13 in Aries. The transiting NN will be sextile natal NN and Mars( both 14 Aqua, 5th). I’m anticipating not only healing but gaining wisdom in spirit and finding the joy in it!
My birthday is April 8th. I've a 10th house Stellium in Aries. Eris in my birth chart is conjunct my sun I kid you not. My Chiron is in Aries also along with mercury and venus. I'm fastening my seat belt as we speak 😬🫣😲 Thank you so so soooo much for such brilliant analysis 👏 😀 🙌 🫶🙏
Thank you Susan! Interesting that 'my' family keeps being an issue... l said farewell to my family long ago. We have never been a family because of family fights and we live all over the world. So l have a few great friends who l see as my family. My 'real' family is not of any importance to me. It is good as it is!🙏🏼🙏🏼 I am in my 2nd saturn return this year (just 60) and it seems that this is going to be a very interesting year. I was just this morning talking to my Polish neighbor telling her that we came to this planet to do 4 things: •live •love •share •enjoy Not what 'they' made us believe: work, work and make a great career and buy, buy and buy even more, bigger, etc. Because when you are about to depart from this planet... nothing you have been working your butt for off you can take with you!! Do l sound as a real Capricorn?🙄🙄 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 living my asc. live: Sagittarius! And not knowing where to place my Leo side; my Moon! But loving my life by only making wonderful memories: traveling and connecting!🙏🏼🙏🏼❤❤
We can’t leave our family and our ancestors behind - they are a part of us even when we haven’t see them. That’s one of the lessons of the Capricorn-Cancer axis 😉🙏🏻
Wow! So early and I was so looking forward to this one after listening again to your video on the upcoming Lunar Eclipse yesterday. I'm so grateful. 😃Thank you! This eclipse has been on my mind for two years because my mother's Sun is at 19 degrees Aries. It was only later that I discovered that Mars Saturn will exactly conjoin my Descendant. As a Virgo rising with Mars Saturn Pluto in the second house, I find it difficult to assert myself and not always cater to the needs and opinions of others. This eclipse opposes Mars (18 deg) and Saturn (almost 23 deg.) and makes a square to my Cap Venus (24 deg.) The latter may not be so significant because of the orb. My chart contains a lot of "other" and little of " I". No fire, but a lot of Libra and Aquarius. I hope this eclipse will help me change that lack of self-assertion und self-confidence.
Pisces sun/speaking about Chiron transiting 2th house,(in my natal chart Chiron in Aries) definitely it's been almost 6 years now of the hell and is still going on, no job,no income, all applications of unemployed support refused(reason: they said,I exceed income😅when was zèro for years) etc.The difference now and then that I have learnt to let go off all fears,worries,only live in the present,today at this very moment.Only a little worry I have for my doggies🐶😍 Good turn in financies,very welcomed!Thank you Susan❤
Hello Suzanne 🎉I have 4 dogs and 4 cats at my farm in the countryside I always notice the changes in their behavior! Full Moons make my cats act crazy!! I am outside all the day long and can feel many vibrations in the air!! I know that is strange but I have had clairvoyance since I was a child. I think they call this Emphatic now!! I don't know, I am a INFJ personality I learned this in college! Maybe that has a bearing on my outlook on life!! Plus I am a hermit!!!😅😅Thank you Dear for your channel ❤
Hi Susan, I just wanted to say that I have my Moon and Black lilith in Libra, in my 3 house.. you are so spot on! I wished I would think less about what others think.. Have a nice Sunday!
Interesting, thanks for sharing! The Solar Eclipse is right on my Aries rising degree, at that moment I will be walking the Camino path in Spain so I’m curious how this will effect me.. Astrology is fascinating:)
I was told in ancient astrology it was bad luck to be out during an eclipse and for sure not to view it. Wondering what you know about this. Where I live is in the direct path fully.
Yes many traditions share this idea - Navajo, South Asian, etc. - which is based on the knowledge that viewing the eclipse can damage the eyes due to staring directly at the Sun. Nowadays we have ways of observing it without damaging the eyes so that is a personal choice. The other beliefs of malediction from being outside during an eclipse have lingered from old days when they didn’t understand what was happening. This is a fear-based belief and not supported by evidence - you can decide for yourself what is best 🙏🏻
not only does the energy change during eclipse, the plants and foods go thru a decaying process that normally takes an entire month, it happens in that short amount of eclipse time 10 minutes? hense the food we consume at that time basically putrefies in our digestive system and can cause dis-ease, so fasting on an eclipse day is best
This is the traditional advice indeed, but there’s no evidence of a month’s decaying process during an eclipse period. We are definitely neurologically and perhaps even psychologically disturbed during the dark phase, and this would have been even more so in old times when people didn’t know what was happening. I suspect that is why it’s best not to eat as digestion is extremely sensitive to our emotions 🙏🏻
I’m familiar with Sadhguru, have been to the ashram in Coimbatore twice. There are many more reliable (Indian) sources of information, who speak from tradition and won’t pretend that there is a scientific explanation as he far too often does for such claims. I would be happy to see any evidence you find to support such claims 🙏🏻
I noticed that milk sometimes turns sour much faster during some full moons, even when not yet out of date. Weather can also change during a FM after a long stable period. But neither is systematic, so I have no idea if it's linked to astronomic/astrologic patterns (eg eclipses).
@@SusanHopkinsonno need to get triggered. I wrote it because I like the content and might relisten. This way it is easier for me to get right to the essential.
The lunar eclipse on the 25th is on my NN @ 5° and AC @ 6° libra, and then the Solar eclipse on the 8th is conjunct my sun @ 17°, vertex @17°, moon @ 21° and mercury @ 24° aries. I'm moving in a week, looking for clients for a business I've been trying to build... so curious where I will be a month or two from now.
Eclipses on the nodes and Sun can bring about a big unexpected change in direction - stay open to new opportunities that don’t look like you originally planned. Good luck with your move! 🙏🏻
Great video! The solar eclipse in Aries is on April 8. Today is March 19. Is it possible for us to experience the effect of this eclipse so far ahead? I ask because something sharp and unexpected happened to me around ego identification today. Just wondering when the eclipse effect starts to take place.
Yes, absolutely! Watch out for significant events and signs of changes to come in the next few weeks and in the weeks following the eclipse. Best wishes! 🙏🏻
@@SusanHopkinson Thank you very much for all the work you have put in to the recording. I did respond in an Arian manner as you talked about at the beginning of the recording! I am Leo Sun, Virgo Rising. It was interesting to hear about Eris, the wounded rebel who sits at 18° of Aries in my 7th. This certainly looks like an eventful and transformative time. The Kundalini is so strong at this time of year with the sap rising. Deep breaths, and thinking before action is the best way of self preservation. Also connecting to the heart. Thankyou Susan. 👻🌹🧬✨
I’m curious what your thoughts are: if we come from self awareness, why would we come here to push away individualism and personality to become self aware/divine (what we are/already were) it seems like if there is this attitude of this isn’t real and nothing “matters” it defeats the purpose of coming. *I hope that makes sense* 😇
I’m not sure what you mean by pushing away individualism and personality. That’s not what I was referring to if that’s what you’re asking. My point is to not overly focus on the personality as people too often do, as it leads to separation and suffering. We need our personality and individual traits as members of society. I spoke about this too as a quality of Aries. Is that what you’re pointing to? 🙏🏻
It means that your Solar Return features an eclipse, which means that that eclipse will be pronounced for you throughout your solar year. An experienced astrologer will be able to delineate the particular meaning for you.
I’m worried I don’t have a clue what’s going to happen am 5 degree north node in Aries, cancer sun 28 degree and Capricorn rising at 25 degree- I really need a new job
Life is happening through you, not TO you! Take care of your worries and fears and you will be able to access your creativity, otherwise the mind stays stuck in stress. Best wishes! 🙏🏻✨
This will be happening in my rising and I've been seeing a lot of number synchronicity lately, like 0808 0909 1010 1212 1444... can someone pls help me understand why im seeing this. Thank you
How are enslaved people in control of their experience of life? You do a lot of voctim shaming in the name of Aries, but i wonder how you treat real, malicious culpability?
I watched this whole presentation there is no victim shaming in it whatsoever. She is reading what the astrology says maybe stop taking this so personally
Your question is a beautiful example of Mercury et al. in Aries 😅 Can you be more specific about what you’re pointing to so I can answer? It’s easier to understand questions that are aiming to be answered rather than those framed as accusations.
I’m not telling you to make the world better, because I don’t think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I’m just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances.
