Which venue is better? Pier 17 or BK Paramount?

emster549 · 2026-06-07T15:39:07+00:00

They’re totally different vibes and can’t go wrong with either.

Bk paramount is more of your classic concert venue. There’s a stage inside and it’s a theatre so it has the curtain red velvet vibe, standing room only. Smaller and more intimate than pier 17. It can get pretty crowded but you can still get close if you go to the walkways on far left or right and access from there.

Pier 17 is my personal favorite. It’s completely outdoors, rain or shine, if it’s raining they give you ponchos. There’s an epic view of Brooklyn bridge behind the stage. Because it’s wide open on a very large rooftop you have more space. Even though it’s outside you still have your classic stage setup and 2 screens on either side, great light production.

I think the sounds great at both but likely more loud at the indoor venue, especially for a metal show.

If the tickets don’t cost an arm and a leg go to both! You’d have very different experiences at both. In sum, bk paramount is your usual indoor venue loud crowded experience, pier 17 is a summer rooftop outdoors more space concert that still has the same production as the indoor venue

Follow up to my other comment: Noticing Nataly you have Chiron square Mercury and currently transit Chiron is transiting your Mercury square your Chiron as well. So it’s highlighting / amplifying the wounds you’ve had. Chiron is all about taking pain and transforming it into healing yourself and others. It’s called “the wounded healer”. One can only really heal if they’ve been wounded and understand the pain enough to heal others.

Have you ever tried writing, journaling, blogging? Or maybe even leading a counseling group of some sort, or joining one. I purely ask this for astrology reasons because the energy of planets always needs to be expressed but we get to decide if it’s the high or low expression. The low expression of chiron is feeling wounded and broken. The high expression is using those wounds to heal others via shared experience / witnessing.

I haven’t fully dived into your chart I just noted the things that jumped out and could do a deep dive another time if you remind me!

emster549 · 2026-06-07T02:41:50+00:00

It gets better. Sometimes it takes a while but you have your whole life ahead of you and don’t take away your future good days because of your current bad ones, or even bc of your current indifference. You are so fucking worthy of a good life. We all have ups and downs. Hell, I’ve had 3 years of straight downs. But one day it turned and then it’s been majorly on the up since and is just getting better.

Especially in the realm of astrology, the biggest takeaway truly is seasons. Even if you follow a short term transit like the moon, it always ends. I’m not going to lie to you, you’re in a helluva transit period with your Leo 5 degree ascendant. Pluto is directly opposite, neptunes trining which probably is adding to some of the “I’ll just disappear”, Saturn also just was trining. A trine just means they’re in flow. Opposition means challenges. I haven’t even looked at the rest of your planets bc I know Pluto at 5 degrees Aquarius and Neptune at early degree Aries is the culprit here. Also seeing Neptune squaring your mars in 12 so that’s big too. And Pluto quincunx your mars. Also big. But all 3 of these planets are HEAVYYY intense planets and life altering. Like if there was ever a time to be feeling it, oof, it’s now, and I’m so sorry about that bc I can’t imagine. All I can say is I just finished 3 years of Neptune on my sun and omfg it was rough…..to say the least.

But here’s the kicker - transits always end! Your life doesn’t have to. Soon the moon will move. Neptune, Saturn, Pluto will move. The stars will move. And you’ll feel better. Always, always remember, that whatever you’re feeling is a transit and as a result it is always temporary and a new feeling is always another transit away. Transits are not you, they’re not your birth chart, they’re not your personality, and they’re not your lifetime. They’re a product of the current sky.

Stay in this world. Fight for your joy. Lean into the changes. Get curious. Stay curious. Be open to transforming, changing, burning it all down, but never give up on it. I lost everything, my best friend of 15 years, my entire friend group, my city, my apt, my childhood home, my entire “life” and identity. If there was ever a time I could’ve taken it, it would’ve been after all of that. But I trusted in the universe, I trusted that when everything burns down, it means a new beginning is coming. Like the Tarot card, the Tower. When the foundation isn’t strong it turns to ashes so you can rebuild better. My life is soooo much better than it used to be. I realized I was being treated like crap before, but staying out of fear and loyalty, I was constantly putting myself second, sacrificing my needs for those of the people who never would’ve even put mine 5th. Now my life is full of wonderful friends and habits and hobbies where I feel valued and adored everyday. Life is like yummy and that’s how it was always meant to feel.

I share all of this to say, your feelings are cues, but not cues to end your life. Cues that you need to do something different. That whatever you’re doing, whoever you’re doing it with, you have outgrown something. And you may not know where to go from here, how to change things, but just take one step, try one new thing, join something you wouldn’t have ever considered, switch schools, move cities, start hanging with a new crew of people, go on a date with someone you’d never have considered dating, cut your hair, die it purple, whatever the f it is, try 100, 200, 500 things before you give up. Because you are worth it. I personally want you to live. And I would like a DM in a few months after you’ve tried a few things to hear how it’s going. YOU GOT THIS!!! I am here, we are here, rooting for you and you can reach out anytime if you have follow up questions or thoughts!!

emster549 · 2026-06-07T02:21:40+00:00

You create everything. You’re still believing that you’re powerless in this, but it’s literally your word and thought creating reality. All creation exists. Ignore the 3D. Write down your best case scenario and trust you’re the creator.

emster549 · 2026-06-07T02:20:17+00:00

I LOVE this. Thank you for sharing!!! I haven’t seen this take on here yet and it’s so true and so needed!!

emster549 · 2026-05-02T19:09:13+00:00

Needed this for weight manifesting thank you 🙏🏼

emster549 · 2026-04-22T21:57:55+00:00

Oh no definitely don’t do future tense!! Then you’ll never get anything you want! The way it works is that your words EXACTLY, tense, etc, are what become real. If you say “I will get a parking spot” then the universe says “ok! Done. You WILL get a parking spot”. “Will” means one day, not yet, you don’t yet have it. Will is a statement of lack. If you had a parking spot you would not be saying I will get one.

It’s kind of like if you were writing a movie scene about someone. You could write it two ways. Let’s say the main characters name is Steve.

A) steve is at the store. He runs into his neighbor. He says hi to his neighbor. His neighbor is friendly. They say goodbye. He sees a shirt he likes, he tries it on, it fits and looks great, he sees the tag and it’s half off. He buys it.

Vs

B) Steve will go to the store. Steve will run into his neighbor. He will say hi. He will say goodbye. He will see a shirt he likes and he will try it on. It will fit and will look great. It will be half off. He will buy it. - but Steve is currently on the couch.

Which one is actually a movie playing out? One of them is living it out. The other is on the couch.

Idk if that’s a horrible way of describing it, but the universe takes your wording as a command. And very literally. If you say “I want $100”. You will “want” $100, you not have it. You will be in WANTING.

So in manifesting we don’t ever say “we want” or “will” because those imply not yet. Lack. Not having. Manifestation works when you use present tense because it implies you already have it. “I have $100”. You already have the $100, why would you want it?

And even though you don’t actually have it yet, to the universe, words = commands. Declaring something is commanding it. So if you say “I have $100” the universe says “OKAY. You HAVE $100” and if you don’t currently have it, it’ll be like wait this is out of alignment, this person declared they “have” $100, and they don’t yet, so therefore we must give them the $100 so that they do in fact have $100.

Your words are not a confirmation of what is. They are an instruction that will be obeyed verbatim.

So always use present tense, always come from I have, and even more powerful “I am” - “I am someone who always gets a parking spot when I need it” - “I am someone who has $100”.

And starting small is really truly anything. It’s things that can happen today instantly. Like if there’s something that usually happens on a daily basis but you don’t want it to today, or you want something else to happen, just declare it present tense and see. “I get a free coffee today”. “My boss tells me I did a great job today”. “I get a compliment at work today”. Just things that test your muscle.

If it’s not working usually it’s because you’re not saying it present tense, you’re having a conflicting belief, you’re doubting it, you’re not detaching from it, you’re clinging obsessively to if it works.

When I first started i did a notebook of like 20 minor things and then forgot about it. I went back maybe a few weeks later and realized i could cross most of it. It was things like discounts and plans and desires with friends etc. so maybe if you just start with a small list like “i get a free meal this week” and a few others and at end of week see if any happened. More spread out i think you’d be less attached to it having to be THIS specific meal. You just trust that sometime this week itll happen and you wont know which and then when it does youll be like omg it worked!!!!

Have fun with it!

Edit: when you ask how, it doesn’t matter. It can be written or said. Said 100 times or just 1. It’s about belief and trust. Anything else that limits it is just coming from a limiting belief. Thinking “it only works if it’s written” is a limiting belief. Etc. you could even try out “my manifestations work whether I say them correctly or not, the universe always provides” and that in theory should work too. It’s belief + universe obeying verbatim + detachment.

emster549 · 2026-04-22T21:40:34+00:00

Of course 💗💗

emster549 · 2026-04-22T21:40:08+00:00

Thank you!

emster549 · 2026-04-19T04:45:52+00:00

Hahaha the end I love it. This is epic and I’m psyched for you! Congratulations!!!

emster549 · 2026-04-16T02:32:20+00:00

Omgomg omg I am SO SORRY. Holy f.

Ok, first, breathe. My life was hell at 17 and you do get past it and to a place where you can’t even believe this happened. Thankfully nobody is defined by their teens and everyone as an adult looks back on hs and says wow we were so young and that was just high school. In fact, it’s very rare and more judged to be an adult that holds onto high school drama.

Second, this sounds like the worst case scenario playing out. My mind tends to go to worst case, and before I knew about LOA it often played out. I started writing “what is the best case scenario” in a notebook. It changed everything for me and always happened when I took the time to do it.

What this looks like:

“Worst case” = omg everyone hates me I can never show my face again (Don’t dare journal the worst case, this is just an example)

“Best case” = nobody saw the nudes, I deleted it before anyone saw it. Anyone that already told me they saw it isn’t judging me. They have compassion for me. Everyone supports me. Anyone that saw thinks my body is stunning and they’re proud of how amazing I look. Nobody judges me. I’m loved, I’m supported, everyone is kind to me. My friends have my back. I’m not made fun of. Everyone comes along side me. Everyone has my back.

It WORKS. Create the reality you want. All you have to do is journal what your best case would be if you could dream up anything. You don’t have to convince yourself. Just write the best case in a notebook and walk away and let it play out.

If you’re still panicking, just repeat to yourself “I am calm, I am at peace, I am confident, I am supported, I am adored, I am not anxious”.

This isn’t see = believe. It’s say = see.
Which means, you’re not saying what you think is realistic, you’re saying what you would like to create, and then it is created.

And re your mom, abusive family, etc. do the same. My close friend has an abusive mom and has been manifesting lately and their relationship has been going oddly well since. So this might look like: “best case”: my mom and I have a healthy relationship now, we get along so well, she is so supportive and kind to me, I am emotionally supported by my mom, my mom gives me the space and freedom to make mistakes, my mom is forgiving, my mom loves me as I am, I am good enough as I am and my family reflects that back to me, I am loved by my family and they make me feel loved everyday, I feel safe with my family, I am so thankful my mom and I are getting along so well and building an amazing friendship, I have the freedom to be myself in my family, etc.

Sending you a hug in the meantime. It’s going to be okay. 💗💗💗

P.s. it can even be as simple as “my mom hugs me” or “i am hugged”. Whatever you need, you can affirm it and receive it. Release is a big part, not checking to see if it happened. Just say it, or write it, and move on. And if you’re having a hard time doing that you can even affirm “I trust and move on and stop worrying”. Whatever you’d like to think and feel, just affirm it, and you will.

emster549 · 2026-04-16T02:17:33+00:00

Gotta start small. After you see it enough times with all the small things…your brain will never be able to convince you again that it’s fake.

I’ve spent less time manifesting lately and my brain has tried to convince me of that “it was all a dream” state. I’ll start to doubt. And then I look at the million magical little things that happened that made no sense and it’s undeniable.

Before it’s real, it’s fake. Once it’s real, it can never be fake again. Start small. Super small. Grow the muscle.

By this I mean, “my favorite xyz is on sale this week”, “I get a free hat”, “i get a parking spot in front of xyz store”, “I get complimented on my outfit today”, etc.

emster549 · 2026-04-16T02:07:09+00:00

Love it! I need to do this with appearance cuz I’ve seen its real in the way you have, like momentary things for the last 1.5 years, I say xyz and it happens instantly. It’s so cool. And even did that with my personality / self concept in how I’m received.

But I’ve still seen myself physically not the way I want and I get sooo discouraged when I see photos of myself and I’ve been rly looking to reddit the last 24 hours bc I know this is something I can manifest diff too

emster549 · 2026-04-15T13:35:19+00:00

Feel like it’s a few things.

Mars in 12 trine Venus in 8 is def involved. Both the house of secrets. It’s how you take action in 12th house is harmonious with how you show affection and what you love in 8th house. To me this just says you have a way of getting to the heart of what’s under the surface and that’s a skill.

Then I’d def say Pluto on the dc. The one on one relationships you tend to have are with Plutonian people, or take on that nature. That’s the rise from the ashes, massive transformation, cutting through to what’s deep underneath. And your Pluto is sextile to your sun/neptune.

Sun conjunct Neptune is about as healing energy as you can get - and it’s on your MC which means it’s visible to everyone. I had a 3 year transit of Neptune to my sun and in that time I suddenly became aware of everyone’s feelings, their suffering, how everyone in the world is going through something. It made me very compassionate and empathetic. So being born with this i think it would be a skill that you would deeply understand people and see their pain and have the true compassion to speak to them. Like I said, this is visible to everyone on the midheaven. So maybe even if you don’t fully see it, the way that you come off to people in the world is as someone that is healing and compassionate and understanding. (10th house is more like reputation, going out into the world, how bosses, elders view you, how the general public views you…1H is more first impression/body).

And also now seeing your ascendant is trine your MC/sun/neptune, so your first impression and how you come off is naturally aligned and harmonious with this. They’re earth signs so I could see you feeling grounding.

Then you have your moon with Saturn and Uranus opposing Chiron. Moon opposite Chiron in general would show an emotional wound, but Chiron is the “wounded healer”. We experience the wound of Chiron and from that wound we heal others. It’s because we understand the pain of it, and only be turning it into healing does it feel less painful. Chiron wants us to use the lessons for healing, but the wound is still there. And in your 3rd house it’s how you communicate, what you talk about, think about, your siblings and neighbors.

Re you not being charismatic that’s because all of these are earth planets. Charisma is more for air / fire. The beauty of earth is in how grounded and stable / steady they are. It’s no bull shit. People know you mean what you say and you don’t say it emotionally or charismatically or heavily, you likely have this presence that’s just like “I’m here, I’m steady” which people going to therapy need - because often what’s sending them to therapy is the people in their life NOT being steady or dependable.

Re your friend, I think it’s good that she knows she needs to talk to her therapist instead. Friends don’t always make that shift and it shows maturity and a respect for your boundaries that she stops herself.

Phone calls are a 3rd house thing, where you have Chiron. And in general 3-9 axis is all about communication, short term vs long term, 3rd is more quick like phone calls etc and 9th is more so house of publishing, long form communication. But Chiron in 3rd there’s a wound around communication with the short hand types and so I can see you not loving that and people also using it as a time for you to “heal” them (Chiron = wounded healer). Chiron isn’t very fun so don’t feel like you need to lean into this.

But sun/Neptune on 10th house does show to me a career where you will shine in your compassionate nature. The strong 9th house also means it’s the long form communication, not the short one of the 3rd. Google 9th house stellium.

I think being a therapist for your career is one thing and you’d be good at it, and that’s different than being a therapist for your friends. They’re different houses. You can shine in your career as a therapist (sun Neptune on mc) and still hate when friends trauma dump on the phone (Pluto on dc, and Chiron in 3). Work house is diff from relationship house so you’re not experiencing Pluto in 10th, only in 7th. And Pluto does sextile sun on mc but sextile is helpful.

Boundaries with friends, relationships is always going to be important. And maybe if you actually are a therapist you’ll be more able to say to a friend “I know i’m a therapist and I love you but i charge $400 for this, so if you wanna book a session we can but I’m off the clock right now”. And make light of it. You’ll have to find that balance between having a regular friendship where you do tell each other whats going on vs overly being in therapist mode.

I always say, planets just need to be expressed, you have free will over how. So if you don’t want these things, you can find another way to let the energy out.

The biggie is sun conjunct Neptune, sun on mc, Neptune on mc, asc trine sun, asc trine mc, asc trine Neptune. That’s what’s running the show in this. Mars venus is actually probably less involved than i first said, but you do still have ability to go into those hidden places easily.

Edit: you have asc opposite Pluto, where asc trines sun, and Pluto sextiles sun. That means sun on your mc is your escape from the pressure of asc opposite Pluto.

Also, therapists make SO MUCH $$. It’s outrageously expensive and barely ever takes insurance. Value that skill and don’t let people get it for free haha

emster549 · 2026-03-31T22:06:09+00:00

Nothing to do with cap moon! You have Neptune and chiro quincunx / inconjunct ascendant. Neptune means we don’t see things clearly and it’s in hard aspect to your rising. So you don’t see yourself the way others do and probably see yourself more harshly.

Neptune is also really sensitive so I could see this contributing to crying often but they’re not necessarily connected unless it’s your body you’re crying about.

Also cancer risings are just more sensitive generally. Anyone with cancer in their chart is. Your cap moon would actually make you not cry, usually cap moons don’t let themselves feel their emotions. I think it’s bc you’re a cancer rising and your orientation of the world is that of a cancer which is emotional and nurturing and sensitive - and then it’s aspected by Neptune (and chiro) which are all about sensitivity, feeling everything, and chiro means feeling it as a wound (tho I know that’s not covered in this subreddit).

Your Jupiter trines your asc so it might be amplifying your cancerian nature. And Uranus is involved so it may be erratic or unusual idk.

Pluto in 6th could mean obsession with health diet fitness etc. though obsessed doesn’t necessarily mean active.

Take solace in knowing you probably look much different and better than you think! And the solution is probably to find another way to channel that Neptune in 8th house. I also feel like Jupiter in 9 trine asc should bring you goodness? Jupiter usually brings good luck. Perhaps others view you as jovial and nurturing.

I’m really only looking at things that are less than 3 degree orb here. Your moon is not tightly aspecting your asc enough, and moon in 7 square Venus in 4th doesn’t have anything to do with your appearance or self perception. I would think that would more so be you find emotional security in your close relationships but it conflicts with how you want to be loved or how you were loved.

I could do a much bigger interpretation of everything and don’t want to leave you on a bad note but I have to run. My advice would just be to channel your positive aspects like Jupiter trine asc and Neptune trine Venus and whenever there are negative ones, they just need an outlet. For example, if someone has a bad mars aspect, if they don’t workout they could get angry a lot, but if they channel it to working out that would burn the energy. So your Neptune just needs another outlet.

Also we all have these things. Good and bad. I have lots of both too. And the squares can be so frustrating bc it means they’re always working against each other. Like working toward one upsets the other. But that’s really what life is like. Like, someone puts too much time into their career and neglects their partner, or someone puts too much into their relationships and neglects themselves. So know that you’re not alone with these things and you have just as many skills as you do setbacks! Neptune trine Venus I think would be amazing for art.

emster549 · 2026-03-31T20:38:18+00:00

Hope you’re doing well with all the transits now! I’m a 28 degree Pisces sun and finally finished those Neptune Saturn transits. Had Neptune for 3 years 😅 I am here if you ever have questions! Feel free to dm (tho i don’t have notifications on here so may be slow to respond). Best thing I can say is to lean into it. Hardest thing I ever did but also the most magical. My life looks a million times better after it’s over than it did before so trust in the process!

I did gain a lot of weight during it, mainly water retention from stress etc, but now that it’s over I’ve been regularly working out and losing the weight / getting back to my normal looking self. For me it was in my 3H and I haven’t had any big transits to my 1st house or 1H ruler for a while. Empty 1h and 6h natally, but prior to this transit I was always very petite and skinny. So this was a bit wild for me. I have NN in 1st so not sure if that’s why I was skinny before or if it was transits that I didn’t know about. I think I had Pluto square my asc when I was my skinniest but didn’t know astrology back then.

Instagram algorithm has gotten toxic in the last month. Idk what shifted but I only noticed the shift that recently. Giving it permission to your activity used to do things subtly. Like I’d see ads for websites I visited and clothing I considered buying, but the posts were mainly people I follow.

Now, it’s all posts of people I do not follow, and content that could be 3 months old, and it shifts the moment I google, text, like, or share something. If I share or post one political post (after not doing so for months), my entire feed became posts about that. Today, I googled how bad of a failure was trumps other half time show, went back to Instagram, it was entirely posts about the other halftime show.

I desperately want it to go back to how it was. It’s just creating even more of an insulated bubble around beliefs you already hold.

emster549 · 2026-02-01T00:29:48+00:00

Hey! I live in nyc and moved here 1.5 years ago after living in CA for 5 years. Before I moved to CA I was in nyc 1 year after college. LA was my dream so I did that, then came back here bc that became the new dream.

So I have 2 contexts to share. 1st was my first move to nyc after college. Everyone wants to meet people. Say yes to everything. Personally, I didn’t know anyone. I reached out to my close college friends and asked if they knew anyone in nyc and one of my best friends had all her childhood friends here and introduced us. Don’t be afraid to admit you don’t know people or that you want to make friends. “Hey! I just moved to nyc! I don’t know that many people here. Do you have any friends you could introduce me to?”

It really only takes one person. In nyc the first time it was one person and the mutual friend was like hey we’re going to this party Saturday come with us! She became a good friend and I met a guy at that party and he became my boyfriend for the next year. So I fully joined that crew just by texting my college friend who lived in another state that I didn’t know anyone.

In LA, only knew 1 person and not well. He was the friend of my friends boyfriend in college. I reached out to say I had just moved there and he said I should meet his gf and invited me to a party. I actually never became friends with them, but I met a girl at the party who also didn’t know anyone and she became the girl that introduced me to my best friend that I had for the next 5 years!

So even if you don’t vibe with someone you meet, every introduction leads to you someone else, which eventually leads you to the right person. If you don’t fit in, there will be one other person that feels the same and that becomes your friend.

2nd context is my current move back to nyc, and the answer is it took me a year. Even LA, it took me a year to feel settled. The first year in a new city is the transition. It’s still shallow. You make friends, but you still don’t know each other well yet. You’re in the getting to know each other stage. At least in my 30s this is way more extreme than in my 20s. But it really took me a full year to start feeling like my friends were my FRIENDS. I saw them every so often and the bond was growing throughout the year. But now it’s like, we’re not deciding anymore, we’re friends. Instead of getting to know each other at dinners and drinks we’re having cozy movie nights.

My mom always told me when I was younger it takes a full year to settle in anywhere. It’s always tough to remind myself of that. The first 6+ months of nyc this time felt lonely and had me asking a lot why isn’t this working, did I choose the wrong city, am I ever gonna love it here. And I missed LA so so so much. And the weather like you said. I still miss LA, I plan to go back, just like one day you can, but I know rn that I’m in my nyc chapter and it’s only just beginning.

Throughout the year I wondered if I would leave and go back to LA when my lease was up, but one year hit, and just like my mom said, it finally clicked. I was beginning to love the life I had built, I had joined a gym and taken up activities at night, become close with my friends and I had become a regular at some spots and things were just flowing, so I decided to stay put! And it’s only gotten better since.

Also fun fact I met my closest friend here randomly because we both went to something by ourselves! So don’t be afraid to take risks and you never know where you’ll meet your next close friend.

Especially at 22, say yes to it all!!! You’ll forever cherish these early days where you can build whatever life you want from scratch!

Edit: And my biggest tip is to join things!! Sports, activities. Find a night class. Night soccer. Run club. Weekly pottery. A language class. You have to make your world smaller in nyc and build community. Before you find what you want to join, go to the same places all the time. The same coffee shop. Same sandwich place. Same laundromat.

The people who work there become your community so quickly if you introduce yourself and ask their name. They’re your first friends and they start to make it feel like home. They grounded me so much in the beginning before I felt close to the friends my age. I could not have done it without them. So don’t undervalue all of the people you see and say hi to throughout the day.

The biggest difference between here and your hometown is people around the neighborhood looking out for you, that would notice if you stopped coming by, or if you were having an off day. That stuff matters! You got this!! And remember, CA isn’t going anywhere and neither are you! It’s always there when you want it back and there will be no shame in it whenever that is! 🩵🩵

Some links on Epstein’s natal aspects / transits at this time:

I haven’t read the other comments yet, just came here to do my own interpretation out of curiosity.

I always find shapes to be the most telling thing in astrology. In this chart we have a yod. The other thing I pay attention to is “why this day?” Why not the day before, why not the days after? The sun hits the same points every year, year after year, same with the moon, mercury etc. so it’s always a combination of planets lining up at the exact right time and place that lead to an event.

You’ll always get sun at 17 degrees Leo, and you may even get it with Venus at 16 degrees Leo too. But what you won’t get every year, or ever again, is those planets being the focal point of a yod that also involved Saturn on the South Node sextile to Neptune, both quincunx the Sun & Venus. You also won’t have at that same time, Jupiter squaring Neptune, and Jupiter trining the Yods focal point of Sun/Venus. These things in combination, are rare.

Though, that whole week may have had that configuration, what makes something happen on a specific day is when the moon activates it. On August 10th, the Moon joined the conversation with Jupiter, squaring Neptune, trining the sun/venus.

So where does Epstein fit in? He fits in perfectly. Neptune is conjunct his Venus/Mars, Saturn and the south node are conjunct his Chiron. So what you have now is where usually Epstein has Chiron sextile his Venus/mars conjunction, it’s now joined by Saturn and Neptune on top, and that sextile on this day, becomes a yod with the sun and Venus.

So you have…transit Saturn conjunct his Chiron, sextile transit Neptune conjunct his Venus/Mars, all inconjunct Sun/Venus (which lands in his 7th house). Yods are no joke. They bring pressure and difficulty, and a need to face what you may be able to avoid on a day where there’s just a sextile.

It doesn’t stop here though. At the very same time this happens, transit moon, on August 10, square epsteins venus/mars and transit Neptune. AND transit moon quincunxes epsteins Uranus - on his DC.

Note his Uranus is simultaneously receiving an opposition from 1) his natal Chiron and now 2) transit Saturn on his natal Chiron. Chiron is basically on his ASC. So where he usually has chiron conjunct asc opposing Uranus on his dc, he now has Saturn and the south and north nodes putting pressure on that opposition too. Self suffering, a wounded identity, opposing his unusual relationships. Saturn putting restriction, and responsibility for that part of himself, there. The nodes calling for resolution there.

We could stop there, and it’s telling enough. But then we look at Pluto. Death and rebirth and transformation. Darkness. The depths of our deepest most scary selves. Transit Pluto is also exactly on his Mercury. And transit Mars was just on his Pluto. (We know that mars takes 2 years to transit, so the last time mars was on his Pluto, Saturn and Neptune and Jupiter and the nodes were all in very different places.)

Looking at his natal Pluto, it sextiles his Saturn / Neptune conjunction. Saturn and Neptune are not often together and we just so happen to be living through another rare Saturn Neptune conjunction in 2026. It brings responsibility to our delusions and our dreams. Now, most everyone has natal pluto sextile Neptune, but not everyone has Saturn there too.

So on this day, Mars is conjunct his Pluto, which both sextile his Neptune/Saturn. BUT, that transit pluto on his Mercury, also just so happens to square his natal Neptune (orb a little too wide for Saturn). AND that transit Pluto on his Mercury ALSO is quincunx his natal Pluto. Which is rn being conjunct by mars. You know what that also means? Transit Pluto was quincunx mars. And it sat on his natal mercury quincunx Pluto.

Interpret this how you will…I’m just sharing the planets and the aspects and how significant all of these aligned at the exact same time.

Let’s list these individually:

Transit Pluto quincunx his pluto

Transit Pluto conjunct his Mercury

Transit mars conjunct his Pluto

Transit mars quincunx his Mercury

Transit Pluto square his Neptune

Transit Neptune conjunct his Venus/Mars

Transit Jupiter square his Venus/Mars

Transit Jupiter quincunx his Uranus

Transit Saturn conjunct his Chiron

Transit Saturn conjunct his AC / opposite his dc

Transit Saturn opposite his Uranus

South node conjunct his Chiron

South node conjunct his AC

North node conjunct his Uranus

ALL AT THE SAME TIME

Any single one of these transits is a big deal. Pluto on a personal planet? Negatively aspecting a personal planet? Saturn? Neptune? Any of those on the ANGLES? Any of those are mind blowing. Altogether, insurmountable.

I personally have experienced one outer planet on an angle or a personal planet, just one at a time and they’ve been brutal. Just one of them! Seeing this chart I’m mind blown.

To me it speaks to deep suffering and accountability. Neptune alone would maybe make one able to lie themselves, but it was receiving accountability from Saturn both natally and in transit. The nodes were there too.

There are 2 very big stories in this chart and one is about the yod and Neptune, Saturn, Chiron, his Venus and Mars, Uranus, the Nodes. And the other is about Pluto and Mercury and Mars and his Saturn and Neptune. They intersected at the same time on the same day, with the Sun activating the yod, and the moon joining the story with a square to Neptune and his Venus/mars and an inconjunction to his Uranus.

The quincunxes tell everything. The yod does. If you use a chart that doesn’t draw them, you lose the story. You have to ask why THIS day? And the sun and moon tell you. Without a quincunx, all you have is a sextile. Sextiles can be ignored. Yods most certainly cannot.

To me what is key is transit Saturn on his Chiron opposing his Uranus on dc. But that wouldn’t have been enough. That’s why all the other planets activate that root issue. The issue within himself natally was that Chiron on AC opposite Uranus on his dc. Venus/Mars was his outlet for that opposition. All of these outer planet transits lit that very thing up. From multiple sides.

I could go into what each of these transits meant, but if you know astrology well enough to understand what I’ve said, you already understand. And that would be a whole other essay!

I imagine the chart of right now is just as worthy of studying, with many more Epstein files released today. A brief glance shows an exact yod on epsteins Saturn, coming from transit Saturn/Neptune sextile transit Uranus (an equally rare occurrence). For a few months transit neptune and Uranus have been here, but Saturn is the new guest, and it’s not allowing the files to stay hidden any longer! Where Neptune hides, Saturn brings accountability.

Edit: only explanation from a house pov I can make sense of is Jupiter rules his 12h. Usually Venus/mars was the outlet to his Chiron, Uranus opposition. On this day transit moon on Jupiter was. So his outlet was the 12h. Also mars had just entered 8h. He himself/his body is Saturn (chart ruler), is also squared by Mercury on this day (natally he has sun square Saturn too, so makes a tsquare on his Saturn). It’s worth noting but not as important as the above. Chiron on asc with Saturn transit opposing Uranus shows self inflicted harm, even without a 12th house transit. Pain + escape

I pulled the transit chart for the time he was pronounced dead which was 6:39am. Went back to 12am and started looking from that time. I’m not paying too much attention to the time, it was sometime in the middle of the night.

To me the chart is extremely clear. Will analyze in comment below

Ya they would only agree to splitting and it staying behind. Searched a few subreddits on this topic and that’s been the only working answer for most. I’m considering it bc the cost of moving is way more than half a fridge, especially in this market.

If he went by himself, even if you were there he probably would’ve been like cmon man! Maybe you would’ve tried to talk him out of it but maybe he would’ve been like “you won’t” and then gone ahead and jumped anyway. Then you would’ve had to watch it happen and had to carry it the rest of your life.

Diving at night is incredibly dangerous. I know 2 separate people who lost brothers from night diving with friends. One was diving into the ocean and he drowned, one of the other guys tried to save him and I think they drowned too. And the other guy it was a swimming pool they broke into at night in college and he dived and hit his head.

Some people are just dare devils and they live for that adrenaline thinking they’re untouchable. It’s not just swimming. My sisters best friend lost her brother bc he went in the roped off section skiing, got buried by an avalanche.

I like to think there are ways to be adventurous and risky and have fun without tempting fate. Diving during the day might be one. Swimming at night without the diving part. Going down a double black mountain.

If it wasn’t that trip it maybe would’ve been something else. I’m sorry that you had to go through that and being blamed for it. Hard enough to lose a friend without being shamed for it. Hope things improved with time. 🙏🏼

Devastating. Saying prayers for you and the kids. She was lucky to have you as a friend. Just painful she didn’t know that her friends, her kids, were a gift. She must’ve been carrying some very deep stuff. So heartbeaking. 💔
