Pluto’s Last Days in Capricorn & today’s Full Moon in Ta**us🌕

Today’s full moon is the last full moon we’ll experience while Pluto is in Capricorn; the last nail in the coffin so to speak. Pluto enters Aquarius on November 19th for good this time (well, at least for the next 20 years). We are firmly and chaotically—paradoxically, in an interregnum: midway through the birth canal, leaving where we came from, and having no clear idea where we’re heading, but there’s no going back. We need to squirm, shimmy, and claw our way out and forward into the unknown. I wrote a piece about Pluto’s last days in Capricorn for my Astrology 101 series in Chronogram. It’s mostly for people who are new to astro or casual aficionados (link-in- bio “Astro 101”)

Today’s full moon is conjoined with Uranus (the Great Awakener/Disruptor) and fixed star Algol. In Arabic, Algol means “demon’s head” or “ghoul,” and is deeply configured to the myth of Medusa. This turns what would otherwise be a soothing, stable, and very comfortable lunation (the moon is exalted in Ta**us), into something much more tumultuous. It moves us along the birth canal like a giant contraction that gets us unstuck. Uranus symbolizes breaks with the status quo, and Algol symbolizes great feats of destruction/creation (as well as the lopping off of heads). I would guess that the very things that are causing us to “lose our heads,” will give us the energy to move closer to the thresholds of our comfort zones. We can’t chill out in the birth canal forever and we can’t crawl back into the womb.

There are a lot of dysregulated nervous systems out there. Dysregulation is a precursor to change. I’m not advocating for merely coping with dysregulation, but for understanding it. Stabilize as needed, but not with eternal comfort being the goal. There’s no growth or movement there, and whatever ceases to move, stagnates and rots. Moments of stability + fortitude need to be used for risk-taking, challenging, and confronting. Real comfort and stability come from unwinding ourselves from old patterns of fearing change.

⭐️NEW FALL WORKSHOP SERIES⭐️
September-November

⭐️Hey Everybody,
I’m super excited to offer this container in collaboration with ✨shea in the catskills✨ It’s called Getting Thru It Together: The Living Language of Divination

⭐️It’s for anyone who wants to practice their divination skills in real time in the company of others during what promises to be an extremely tumultuous and confusing time. We purposely chose to hold this series during eclipse season and the run up to the presidential election in the USA (when people will really need it). This series is also open to anyone who is looking for new ways to practice being in relationship with others and the world around them, and to artists of all stripes who want to bring new skills and perspectives to their work.

⭐️We will be using the tenets of astrological practice: archetype, story and character arcs, historical-mythological-philosophical contexts and more. We’ll be examining the extraordinary transits as they happen and working with our own natal charts. ✨shea✨ will facilitate tarot practice that focuses on working with image, imagination, and the development of intuition, again, in real time; using the stories, emotions, and sensations unfolding around us and within, as they happen. We’ll also explore the decans and correspondences between astrology and tarot.

⭐️You’ll learn by doing, observing, creating, and communicating. No lectures. No slides. Since we believe that this particular time that we’re living in requires us to invent, create, think critically, and innovate, we’ll also explore how divination practice helps us shift paradigms through somatic/body work, writing, and image-making (aka remediation and medicine-making).

⭐️We are accepting registrations for 2 cohorts: Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. All sessions are on Zoom. We’ve just announced this and both cohorts are already half-full. So if this sounds like something for you, I’d register sooner rather than later. There are more details (and more info about ✨shea✨) on their website. All links, including registration are located in ‘s bio and linktree. DM if you have any questions. XO

🌞 HAPPY HAPPY CORY DAY! 🌞

I want to wish the creatrix of The Cosmic Dispatch a very happy birthday!

Thanks for all of the cosmic wisdom you share. ♈

♈ This Aries season I hope each of us takes time to explore our own bodies as if we were infants again.

What's this thing do anyway?

Taste your fingers, tug your ears, stretch your toes out and curl them back in again. Stick your tongue out and force out unfamiliar sounds. Repeat sounds that feel good and cry out if you're hurt. Incorporate a little bit of tummy time each and everyday and be gentle when you wipe your face.

Explore what feels good and find where your edges are.

Forget everything you thought you knew and get reacquainted with yourself with a fresh set of eyes. Pretend like this is your first day and you've never been in this body before.

♈ Spring Eclipse Season 2024: Lunar Eclipse Libra and Solar Eclipse Aries

♎ In today’s episode Cory is joined by astrologer Camille Michelle Gray to tease out the many facets of this eclipse season, which happens to define this year’s Aries season. They discuss the relationship between the naked desire of Aries and the intellectual accoutrements of Libra, how we develop our sense of worth and agency, and all the ways we might manipulate the feedback we receive in our relationships.

♓ This eclipse season is heavily toned by planets in Pisces, and the eclipses themselves are ruled by Venus and Mars in Pisces. This adds an enormity of sensitivity, idealism, and confusion surrounding bold actions we may want to take at this time. As if that weren’t enough, Mercury retrogrades through Aries during this season, adding more heat, demands, and (seemingly) urgent communications. The asteroid Chiron in Aries is also deeply influential in this series and points to places that could use some healing, especially around topics of force, conflict, and basic existence.

🔥Towards the end of the show they answer some audience questions:
▪️What is the role of fate/free will in astrology and during eclipse season?
▪️How are the Aries-Libra eclipses different from the Ta**us-Scorpio eclipses we just had?
▪️What are some recommended practices for this eclipse season, including helpful media to consume?

🌊Some alternative titles for this episode included: “The Wisdom in the Suck,” “You’re Over it Because it’s Over,” and “Reality and Illusion: Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together.” All joking aside, this Pisces season is a murky, heavy wall of fog, with the crackling energy of disruption trying to break through.

♓Today, Cory is joined by astrologers Mandee Sheeler and Jillian Sweeney to talk about the ways that the big transits of the season might register in our personal lives. This episode is especially good for anyone with personal planets or angles in Pisces, people with strong Saturn-Neptune signatures, and people with strong Aquarius-Ta**us signatures.

Topics discussed:
•Saturn/Neptune conjunctions to natal suns/moons in Pisces
•The Saturn-Neptune story for the next two years
•Transposing the traditional significations of Saturn and Neptune
•Fact, Dis(Illusion), and Projection
•Overwhelm, Malaise and Entropy
•Emotional Engulfment and Self-Parenting
•The Organic-Synthetic, the Human-Machine, and Sustainable Designs for the future/collective

Transits covered:
•Full moon Virgo 2/24
•Mercury Cazimi triple conjunction w/ Saturn 2/28
•Venus conjoins Mars Aquarius 2/22
•Aquarius Venus square Ta**us Jupiter 2/24
•Aquarius Mars square Ta**us Jupiter 2/27
•Aquarius Venus square Ta**us Uranus 3/3
•Aquarius Mars square Ta**us Uranus 3/9

Hey Everybody, I’m excited to share this incredibly Aquarian conversation I had with Anastasia Wasko earlier this month. I felt that I had to put SOMETHING together for this milestone Aquarius season, and I think we found ways in, out, around, and through all of the exciting transits of the next four weeks.

We talked outsider culture, marginalization, decentralization, peer pressure, being the as***le in the room, dissenting, distance, objectivity, and how distance and objectivity can lead to greater care for ALL humans, an Aquarian take on mental health, parapsychology, psychosynthesis, neurodivergence, the interconnected mind, relationship anarchy, extended cognition, technology, media, Uranus, Saturn, and what happens when your license plate reads “UFO GIRL”

Transit coverage includes:
Sun-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn and their ingress into Aquarius 1/20

Mercury-Pluto conjunction 2/5

Mars-Pluto conjunction 2/14

Venus-Pluto conjunction 2/17

Full moon Leo (opposite Pluto, square Jupiter) 1/25

New moon Aquarius (square Uranus) 2/9

WE HAVE A SEASONAL NEWSLETTER 🍁 Hey everybody, I hope these last days of summer/Virgo season are treating you well. September is my absolute favorite month of the year, even though I struggle with Virgo and Libra types of things. For instance, I always intend to consistently send out a monthly or seasonal newsletter, and can’t seem to get past the first one. So, I’m going to try this again (practice practice practice). Trying this seasonally, for now. If you’d like these in your in box, there’s a link in my bio and linktree. I’m also including the work of people in my community who have cool stuff going on. Inside this month’s letter is a short note about what I’ve been up to in the rehearsal spaces, and the clinical spaces of my life, along with a reminder to register for the upcoming workshop I’m facilitating with ✨shea in the catskills✨ We only have a few spots left and registration closes on the 18th! There are also links to the latest episode of @thecosmicdispatch (Virgo season), September horoscopes, and a write up about the upcoming LUNAR ECLIPSE in Pisces (September 17th)! You’ll also find a beautiful piece of writing by ✨shea✨,about the Knight of Pentacles in the tarot—it felt very Virgo to me. And, finally, I’ve included my Body Intelligence group movement-teaching schedule. I have two multi-disciplinary somatics modules on offer, and a brand new and super fun Slow Somatic Strength class that started a couple of weeks ago that leaves us all very sore in the best way! My books are also open for astro-consultations, and private Body Intelligence sessions. Thanks to Mandee @backroads_bird who assists me with admin, and all of the super organized people I work with who make it possible for me to do really cool things. Sending love, care, imagination, and discernment during these weird-ass, heart-breaking, and unexpectedly gorgeous times. XOC

Gemini Season (featuring Jupiter in Gemini) Fragmentation, Synthesis, Narratives, and So Much Information. In this episode of The Cosmic Dispatch Cory Nakasue is joined by Camille Michelle Gray, Mandee Sheeler, and shea in the catskills to slice, dice, and reconfigure the many working parts of Gemini season. Topics discussed: The interplay of narrative, truth, fact, and information. Faith and the questions that upend it. Thought-energizers and thought-stoppers. Rehashing dominant narratives, confirmation bias, and propaganda. How conflicting elements depend upon each other. The radicalizing of Jupiter. Mercury as psychopomp, trickster, and interlocutor. Jupiter’s 1-year tenure in Gemini from the perspective of the tarot. Pedagogues and devil’s advocates...and so much more! Everyone in this discussion has Gemini placements, and they all describe the myriad ways they work with Gemini in their personal lives and in the work they do. Transits covered: Sun enters Gemini 5-20 Full moon Sagittarius, Venus-Jupiter conjunction, and Venus enters Gemini 5-23 JUPITER ENTERS GEMINI 5-25 Mercury enters Gemini 6-3 **APOLOGIES: In the swirl of discussion, we skipped the new moon in Gemini on 6-6. It’s conjoined with Venus and Square Saturn**
