Evan Nathaniel Grim delves into the profound effects of Saturn and Neptune retrograding in Pisces. This celestial alignment, beginning on June 29th and lasting until November 15th, invites a period of reflection, introspection, and the unraveling of delusions. Evan explains how Saturn acts like a strict teacher, urging us to revisit our past decisions, particularly those made since last November. This episode provides a detailed exploration of the significance of isolation and inner reflection, encouraging us to scrutinize our responsibilities and commitments before moving forward.

The historical significance of Saturn and Neptune cycles cannot be understated. These alignments have preceded major societal transformations, such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Bolshevik Revolution, and the Boston Tea Party. As we approach the end of this 36-year cycle around 2025-2026, we find ourselves at a critical juncture for introspection and societal transformation. Evan reflects on how the interplay between Saturn’s discipline and Neptune’s dreams signals the dissolution of old systems and the emergence of new ideals. By understanding these cosmic influences, we can better anticipate and adapt to the revolutionary changes on the horizon.

Personal experiences also play a significant role in this episode. Evan shares his journey of reevaluating life choices, from getting sober to aligning his work with his values. This reflective period highlights the importance of making healthy choices and seeing people as they are without idealization. The discussion extends to relationships and the realities of pursuing a passion, such as being a social media creator and astrologer. Evan emphasizes the need for clear objectives and understanding the fulfillment versus vanity aspects of such endeavors.

Navigating the complexities of modern life is another key theme. Evan examines the influence of media and celebrity culture, urging listeners to scrutinize narratives and seek diverse information sources. He discusses escapist behaviors, personal health, and the integrity of leaders and institutions, especially in the context of the upcoming Saturn-Neptune retrograde.

The episode also explores the nature of retrogrades, using Saturn as an example to illustrate how it acts like a strict teacher double-checking our work. Evan explains that during this period, our energy is better served thinking about commitments we’ve already made since last November. Retrogrades have a 12th house energy, encouraging isolation and inner reflection before stepping forward. This period is a time for releasing, letting go, and going inward before leaping forward into new endeavors.

Neptune’s retrograde, starting on July 2nd, adds another layer to this cosmic dance. Neptune, the planet of dreams and illusions, invites us to reflect on our spiritual journey and where we may have been deluding ourselves. The conjunction of Saturn and Neptune, which will officially occur in February 2026, signifies a time of refining what we want to do over the long haul. This period is marked by the collapse of fabricated narratives and the unmasking of delusions, both at a personal and societal level.

The episode also touches on the potential impact of these retrogrades on societal structures and governance models. Evan reflects on the dissolution of existing systems and the emergence of new ideals, highlighting the importance of personal and collective enlightenment in shaping a more coherent and spiritually evolved society. This transformative period is an opportunity to align our personal and collective paths with true well-being, better anticipating and adapting to the revolutionary changes on the horizon.

Evan Nathaniel Grim provides valuable insights into the significance of this reflective period, encouraging listeners to scrutinize their responsibilities and commitments, reevaluate life choices, and navigate the complexities of modern life. By understanding the cosmic influences of Saturn and Neptune, we can better align with true well-being and anticipate the transformative changes ahead. Tune in for a journey through the cosmic and the personal, offering insights to help you navigate this transformative time.

"I really enjoyed the first lecture from the astrology class. You are an incredibly good teacher. The way you explained the evolution of astrology, the elements and how that synthesizes into the zodiac signs and the alchemy between was beyond brilliant. I can't forget "fire and air make a pair." Thank you for teaching this cohort. I'm so looking forward to the rest of the classes."

I’ve now listened 4 times and keep finding new things. Hidden gems. Are you psychic as well? I know we’re all intuitive but, there's a way that you deliver information, present possible scenarios that make me wonder if that little astro wheel is saying all that or if that's all you feeling it? Either way, your approach and presentation were super clear and thorough. Expansive but detailed. Specific and informative. Eye opening.
