I went back in my journal, as you suggested, and found that on 11/17/23 I watched the movie Rustin, a biopic about Bayard Rustin which was coincidently released on Netflix that very day. I sent a "grabbed" to you the next day because for me, this movie was my Sun-Mars seeding moment. A famous Rustin quote is, "We need, in every community, a group of angelic troublemakers." Several months ago, I started volunteering for the International Rescue Committee in my community and am now deeply involved in supporting immigrants and refugees in my community. A Full Moon moment indeed.
I also just realized that as a Scorpio Rising, Cancer is in my 9th House, the house of foreign travels, countries, and multicultural interests and international affairs. Amazing how these things line up sometimes. And my natal Moon is in Libra so even more alignment.
In very late 2023 I suddenly realized I did not like my life and the only way it would change is if I changed my standards, my boundaries, my entire approach to life. Ending my people pleasing tendencies, especially. I implemented these “mindset changes” on new years 2023-2024 (transiting sun at 10* Cap conjunct my natal moon, a personal new moon of sorts, not bc of the holiday). Internally I am a different person - but much more “me.” And I am working on pruning back what no longer serves the real me in these next few weeks to better reflect who I really am, and thus forge a more authentic life path going forward. Of course I’d hoped to have that done by now - by the time the sun reached my moon again - but, life reflects the retrograde of course so I have been forced to assert my new values “in the real world” and did not always do well which prolonged my external life reflecting my internal changes. This is a necessary part of the process. Mars is my chart ruler, my ascendant is 25* Scorpio - the degree of the conjunction in Nov 2023. I had not even realized that everything I’ve done followed this cycle so closely. Thank you for this 💛 #grabbed
2023 was in my 3rd house, I decided to begin communicating with federal courts about corruption in the lower courts and the unlawful taking of my 2 beautiful children by their narcissistic father. I don’t have a JD, but I’ve worked hard and my case has survived without a lawyer. This month I submitted new arguments about systemic corruption that permits narcissistic fathers to harm women and children without constitutional or other protections. During this time, I’ve also been re-shaping the power dynamics with my own narcissistic father- learning all the micro-detailed ways to become unshakeable and firm with my boundaries so that his disrespect and rage finds no home with me. I’m also learning to tell my story and release the pain, shame and stigma of surviving severe childhood and marital narcissistic abuse- sharing my story on my law school applications and working openly towards a career in law now as a result. #grabbed
My heart and gratitude go out to you! My son’s dad is also a narcissist and he has abused the legal system in our custody case as well. I’d love to know how I can help or contribute to your cause & implement changes in my own state.
Many thanks, Adam! My father died in June 2023 - so before this synodic cycle started in Nov 23. To me it feels like this cycle (and the current Mars Retrograde in Cancer in my 4th) is about processing that loss - what it means in terms of loss, but also in terms of opportunities and the requirements for me to develop a different kind of MARS - less tainted by 'toxic masculinity' - allowing for the development of an ASSERTIVE force within myself!
What stands out for me late 2023 was Christmas, my family Christmas was unusually fun. This year, an utter disaster. Also tension with my boss thru the holidays. Yes, I have a problem with authority, lol. Ty Adam.
Mars conjunct Sun Dec 2023 (on my south node) - joined a yoga instructor daily online to combat depression and hopelessness. Left February 2024 and started socialising more. Wanted to join a gym in person but never managed. Jan 2025 - finally made up my mind to joined a gym. Reignite my passion for yoga group classes.
11:00 What does Mars conjunct the Sun look like natally? I ask because my sister has this placement in her 12th house (orb 0° 12’) and she in NO way lives the 12th house sun experience as a result. It seems as if Mars is basically un-fucking her sun, giving it what it would otherwise lack due to being in the 12th. But also, she is pretty slow to act and is very non-fiery. So it feels like the Sun-Mars conjunction and the 12th house placement almost cancel each other out. (Luigi Mangione also has this placement, likely in the 4th, with an orb of 2°. He was born just a week before my sister.) Meanwhile, when transiting Mars recently passed over my 12th house natal Sun in Cancer (this was before it entered shadow), I was on FIRE. SOOOO much energy, so much drive, so motivated, getting shit done at top speed with no issues. Same house as my sister, but a transit and not a natal placement, and *completely* different results.
Exactlly, i have been tryiny to detox conditioning of male chauvanistic energy from my body in order to better deal with a current situation with a neighbor, at 78 years of age and female, there has been a lot of that. Took a break and read this post, its amazing how exactly right on Adam is. Wish I was at the point of being in joy instead of being affected by other peoples stuff. Hes also conditioned. Pluto exact opposition to my saturn at 29 cancer. e
@CrystalRicotta Aaw. Yes, I love it too. Can't exactly say it's "my" land, I moved here from Austria 3 years ago, but feels very much like home to me now 🥰
Oh and btw, I’m new to your channel! I’m also a Cancer sun + mercury like you, and also am from Minnesota! I live just east of the twin cities. Also, looking at your chart we also both have Gemini mars. Taurus is your Asc and my MC. Aquarius is your MC and my moon (and you also have a saturn ruled moon). You have Leo venus and I have Leo Asc. I was born 15 years after you but we do have similar energies in our charts, imo! I’d love to connect if you ever do an in person astrology event in the area!
@bb_ghosty good to meet you! We recently hosted a solstice event in MSP...follow me up in Instagram for more details about local events im @nightlightastrology
Hey Adam, in a vital way resonately relevant to today's video is Giordano Bruno's execution day chart: February 17th, 1600; Rome Italy. Stellium in Leo all retrograde includes Chiron conjunct Mars, South node, Jupiter, Neptune; Pluto, Uranus and moon in Aries. And of course Sun in Aquarius with mercury and north node. All of this is resoundingly exclaiming "I Am identity" as a seeding healing ground for future Aquarian realizations; retrograde Mars, Chiron, South node in Leo... Peace out
Started a relationship in nice 23 Scorpio is my fifth house . The relationship ended Jan 24. I don’t see the outcome yet but I always felt it was over and I longed for a reconciliation because it hurt when it ended. However ,yesterday I thought to myself what if I was meant to be with someone else ? Although I don’t know how this transit will manifest I don’t quite know how I feel anymore.
You just made me realize, within 10 days after I was born, three outer planets with retrograde in 1987. My birthday is March 30th, and on the 31st Saturn went retrograde. Uranus went retrograde on April 1st. And Neptune with retrograde on April 10th. This feels significant, but I've never heard it talked about, so maybe it's pretty common?
Cool to hear this about your chart. I recently had a similar realization about my chart - having never previously considered even looking at the cycles in the way Adam teaches. During the few months prior to my birth in May 1948, Mars, Saturn and Pluto all in Leo in my 9th went stationary direct. This resulted in very slow secondary progressions throughout most of my life. It helps me make sense of relevant breakthroughs that are only occurring now, much later in life.
😂, yeah, I’m having my “why did i decide to take on this topic?” moment with getting into the Christian perspective on astrology as this is extremely difficult to explain. Yes, it involves these transit topics. It’s like the planetary spheres, spheres 8-10 are (this is complicated on its own) the garden of Eden but it’s also earth. There’s the non physical, then physical. You’d also have to get used to the spheres being woven together both spiritually and physically and understand the platonic world of forms that the physical is a shadow copy of the real and this isn’t the real reality but the planetary spheres even physically are not physical locations even though you can look and go “there’s the moon!” I definitely want to run away from it but at the same time it can be stated clearly as the Tower of Babel came up; a reason why god often appears as a bipolar sociopath is that it’s very likely references to god are actually of 2; the godhead and then the “dark lord of this world”. If it wasn’t for being so exposed to Christian interpretations that are blatantly anti-Semitic I’d probably run away like a coward 😂. One reason Pope Francis warns of Gnosticism and is right to do so is some lineages of Gnosticism misinterpreted the base concepts and you see people thinking the demiurge is Yahweh: no, that’s arhiman. With that concept in this perspective that’s linked to this transit 😆; even though you have “fallen angels” for example, they actually work on behalf of the godhead otherwise through ignorance and arrogance. It’s the need of tensions to develop as there was a point of need for an evolution. Though they use “detrimental”, it’s often also worded “hindering” as some things need a push back to develop properly. It’s like Saturns link to Mammon, you need mammon for both the experience of being marginalized but also the experience of being greedy and lustful as a even a test, otherwise there’s no friction or choice and nothing is learned. And, of course, if failure is possible, you’d need hindering influence in the next cosmic evolution. It kinda gets into the 7 lords of hell with hindering influence of each sphere and I may get stuck in demonology haha… At some point I may need someone who loved the Bible so much they have it memorized to ensure accuracy. Good times. It’s not really the topics being complicated, it’s explaining it that’s really hard. Can read between the lines for further transit topics as they’re kinda right there.
My dad is a narcissist and because of that I never knew what a narcissist was until I married a really terrible one. 😢 I often think that if I would have been to a good astrologer, instead of several psychologists/counsellors, most of the trauma that I experienced with the ex would have been avoided.

I am a natal mars-sun opp and recently learned that only happens when mars is rx. So cool
Excellent lesson, thank you. I feel like I have a better handle on the superior planets cycles.

Hi from Sicily!
Hello Sicily. Was there in April for a month. Love your land.
@CrystalRicotta Aaw. Yes, I love it too. Can't exactly say it's "my" land, I moved here from Austria 3 years ago, but feels very much like home to me now 🥰
I’m visiting in June!😊

I’ve already gained new insights by tracking the cycle. Looking forward to seeing how the rest plays out. Thank you Adam
Thank you 😊
Very good video, tnx!
Thank-you!
❤thank you 😊
Thank you
Looks like Venus is present in that conjunction too! This is also real close to my ascendant. Am excite.

Okay but no…. My dad died. He was a 22* Scorpio Sun. He fell ill the day after Christmas and passed 2/4/24 the SECOND mercury hit his 29* cap moon 🌙
How is this contrary to what he's saying? Sorry, I'm not an actual astrologer.
@ it’s not contrary, it’s exact.
My dad is a narcissist and because of that I never knew what a narcissist was until I married a really terrible one. 😢
I often think that if I would have been to a good astrologer, instead of several psychologists/counsellors, most of the trauma that I experienced with the ex would have been avoided.
