Feeling the Intensity?
The Astrology this week and next week is Trigger Happy Territory!
Hello everyone! This is my first official Substack post (not counting the Intro article I posted about 2 months ago sharing that I was shifting to Substack).
Starting today I am beginning the shift of all my Kajabi Newsletter posts being posted here. I will have a Lunar Insight up on my website in the next day or two which I will post a link to here on Substack. And I will post my first Membership Only content in the next few days as well.
If you are a FREE subscriber you will get the Newsletter posts and other posts that I make public. All other content posted here will be MEMBERS ONLY. I will have a list of what the Membership content will include posted in the next week or so. I am adding new things, dissolving old things and upgrading things that are carrying over ;) I am in a Rebirth Portal! More on that in future posts about my recent 5 month hiatus and pilgrimage into the Void <3

Now onto the Astrology!
We are in quite the Astrological Portal with every single Capricorn Planet- from Venus to the Sun to Mars to Mercury to the upcoming New Moon- squaring Chiron the Wounded Healer (January 11th, 12th, 13th, 15th and 18th respectively) and then squaring Eris the Goddess of Discord and Chaos (January 12th, 14th, 16th, 17th and 18th). All while there are tons of Mars conjunctions/triggers- notably the upcoming Mercury/Mars conjunction on January 18th at 26’03 Capricorn!
THIS IS TRIGGER HAPPY TERRITORY. Anger, Rage, suppression of both and then explosions of it coming out- are all possible. Capricorn is government and Aries is the people- we see that happening everywhere from Iran to the USA to Venezuela to Gaza and Israel and more. Aries is ruled by Mars and Capricorn is ruled by Saturn- the two Malefics (yes the root of that word is connected to the word Malevolent) are dominating right now!!!
When I see this kind of Astrology I call it DUCK & COVER Astrology. It’s a good time to pause, count to 10, and breathe before reacting. It’s a great time to cultivate the capacity to think about things first before saying or doing something that sets things into motion you cannot take back. And if you cannot do any of that- find a rock and hide under it until the Astrological Weather passes ;) I am only sort of kidding.
For those who hold back and have a hard time speaking up, taking action or self motivating- this Astrology can put a FIRE UNDER YOUR BUTT. Some of us need to learn to tone down toxic ego responses- others of us need to actually bolster healthy ego!
I had this happen this week actually- there was a situation that was really not okay. But I was defaulting to trying to understand where this person might be coming from- acknowledging their wounds and pain and what might cause them to act in this way. Fortunately I had a friend who reacted by EXPLODING and she began having a swearing fit telling me how it was NOT OKAY and she apparently went off on the person :-0 At first, I felt bad for this person who just got exploded on- but then like waking up out of a stupor- I saw the situation with new eyes and realized I was being too understanding in a situation that really required healthy anger, hard boundaries and a fierce NO. It’s amazing how you can work on things for decades (Boundary work and Anger Work is NOT new to me) and still can find new layers coming in to be tapped and explored. This was all unfolding during the Venus/Sun/Mercury/Mars squares to Chiron and Eris in Aries!!!
It is often not until Mars gets involved that we really see Astrological Themes activated in a BIG WAY. So the Mars Dates to pay attention to are Tuesday January 13th at 3:33pm MST (Mars square Chiron), Friday January 16th at 4:24am MST (Mars square Eris) which builds overnight TONIGHT, and Sunday January 18th at 12:40am MST with the Mercury/Mars conjunction that builds overnight Saturday. Add to this the New Moon Sunday at 12:52pm MST (more info coming with the Lunar Insight) and it is safe to say the BIGGEST PART of this Portal is only just incoming this weekend.
It is a great time to take action, have agency and express healthy anger- particularly if you are someone who is over empathetic and overly understanding of other’s pain. It’s also a great time to tone down toxic ego responses and work with anger and rage in embodied, somatic ways. Meaning deal with your anger- do not explode in it so that everyone around you takes the hit but also do not suppress it so much that your mental and physical health takes a hit. Sometimes anger comes in to tell us we need to say NO and walk away. If you keep finding some situation or relationship never changes and you are constantly triggered by someone’s unhealthy behavior and you have tried EVERYTHING but walking away, that may be the only remaining choice you have. Honest self checks in are key this week!
On the world stage there is Rebellion and Revolution in the air. But we want to make sure we are leading from the HEART. When I saw the first Chiron/Eris conjunction incoming last year- I wanted to offer a Masterclass on it called LOVE & RAGE. But then my own discord dissolution process and work hiatus took front and center in my life and I had to side table it.
We still have one more Chiron/Eris conjunction incoming this year (see my Intro to the Astrology of 2026 YouTube Video linked below for more info)- and it is SO SO SO IMPORTANT that we do not allow our Rage and Anger to come from or be controlled by Ego/Will or the disembodied Mind. IT MUST BE LED FROM THE HEART SPACE. Anger and Rage that is not guided by the heart becomes destructive, violent, abusive and toxic. Anger and Rage led by the heart becomes a FORCE FOR AWAKENING as it allows our Integrated Self (Love leading, Wisdom & Power following) to wield the Sword of Truth which cuts away illusion.
So easy goes it the rest of this week. Be aware and conscious. Pay attention when driving (tense Mars aspects are accident prone). Pay attention when speaking and acting- and find within yourself the ability to pause, count to 10, breathe- so you can respond rather than react. Or find a rock to hide under ;) This week is all Mars/Eris/Chiron/Aries/Capricorn energy. Next week it is ALL PLUTO! More on that next week ;)
Blessings…

Thanks for this post, Harmony. With all the planets squaring Chiron lately, and transiting Saturn exactly squaring my natal Chiron, the old patterns of suffering have been coming up stronger than ever, despite many decades of deeply working on them. We always tell ourselves things will eventually feel easier and lighter as we bring consciousness to them over time, but this seemed to be the opposite. I told my husband they feel more intense than ever, and he said, "In an ashram, when someone is getting really close to liberation, it takes the entire ashram to hold space for them because it gets so intense for that person right at the end." This was so helpful to hear! We awakening souls will encounter a LOT of ego inertia and resistance, and it helps to remember this. Blessings to all!
So wonderful to see you here Harmony! 💚💚💚
