This week's transits present a powerful shift in energy: the Sun moves into Gate 32 (Duration) in the Spleen Center, while the Earth grounds us in Gate 42 (Increase) in the Sacral Center.
What does this mean?
You're being asked to embody BOTH:
- The enduring, sustainable quality of duration (Gate 32)
- The expansive, completing quality of increase (Gate 42)
In the body:
- Artemis (Spleen) governs instinct, intuition, survival, present-moment awareness
- Dionysus (Sacral) governs life force, creativity, response, sacred sexuality
The teaching this week:
Trust your INSTINCT (Artemis) to know what's SUSTAINABLE over time, while honoring your LIFE FORCE (Dionysus) as it expands and completes cycles. But there's more happening beneath the surface. Let's look at which gods are speaking—both this week and in the long-term backdrop that shapes our collective experience.
IN THIS WEEK'S REPORT:
FAST-MOVING TRANSITS - This week's immediate energy (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Venus)
SLOW-MOVING TRANSITS - The long-term backdrop (Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter)
THE NODAL AXIS - Your soul's direction (North/South Node)
THIS WEEK'S SYNTHESIS - Artemis + Dionysus working together
YOUR GODS - Discover which Officers speak through YOUR design
THE FAST-MOVING TRANSITS (This Week's Flavor):
THE TEACHING:
Gate 32 is
Gate 32 is DURATION what LASTS, what continues, what endures over time.
This is NOT quick wins.
These planets move quickly, creating the immediate "weather" of the week:
SUN IN GATE 32 (Spleen Center - ARTEMIS)
Ancient I Ching Hexagram 32: HENG / DURATION
Wilhelm/Baynes Translation:
"Duration. Success. No blame. Perseverance furthers. It furthers one to have somewhere to go."
This is NOT instant gratification.
This is SUSTAINABILITY.
Thunder and wind = the image of duration:
Thunder initiates. Wind persists. Together they create lasting change.
IN YOUR SPLEEN (Artemis):
Your INSTINCTS know what's sustainable this week:
- The first intuitive hit shows what will LAST vs. what's temporary
- Don't chase flashy opportunities that drain you
This week, Artemis asks:
Can you trust what ENDURES? Can you commit to the marathon, not the sprint? Can you feel in your body what's SUSTAINABLE vs. what will burn you out?
- Trust what your body can maintain LONG-TERM
- Success through PERSEVERANCE, not force.
Artemis says:
"I am safe. I trust the god within me to know if action is required or if I stand still and do nothing."
THE PARADOX: SUSTAINED GROWTH
Sun in 32 (Duration/Artemis) + Earth in 42 (Increase/Dionysus) =
How do you SUSTAIN while EXPANDING?
This is the core question of the week.
The Teaching:
Sustainable growth (not explosive burnout)
Enduring increase (not temporary spike)
Trust the BODY (Artemis instinct + Dionysus life force)
Long-term expansion, not short-term force
Most people get this wrong:
They try to FORCE growth (override Dionysus). They ignore sustainability (override Artemis).
They burn out fast and collapse.
The gods say:
Let Artemis (instinct) guide WHAT you commit to. Let Dionysus (life force) guide HOW MUCH you can sustain.
Duration + Increase = SUSTAINED GROWTH.
Practical application:
✅ Before saying yes to expansion, CHECK: "Can I sustain this long-term?" (Artemis)
✅ Before committing to duration, CHECK: "Does my sacral respond YES?" (Dionysus)
✅ If instinct says no = don't continue it (even if it seems like increase)
✅ If sacral says no = don't force it (even if logic says "this will last")
The body knows.
ARTEMIS (Spleen Center) - THE DOMINANT VOICE
Sun in 32 + Mercury in 28 (early week) = Instinct ILLUMINATED and ARTICULATED
Gate 32 - DURATION (Sun):
- What endures over time
- Sustainable commitment
- Long-term knowing
- Perseverance through consistency
THE GODS SPEAKING THIS WEEK
With Mercury in Gate 28 early week:
Your MIND is in Artemis's domain (Spleen). This means your thoughts are FASTER, more instinctual, less logical.
Don't try to "think through" decisions — FEEL them. Mercury in the Spleen is about SENSING truth, not analyzing it.
Gate 28 - THE GAME PLAYER (Mercury, early week):
- Risk assessment
- Knowing what's worth the gamble
- Preponderance of the great
- When to engage, when to retreat
Mid-week shift (Mercury moves to Gate 56 - Throat):
Around Wednesday/Thursday, Mercury moves from Spleen to Throat. Communication shifts from instinctual to narrative. You'll feel the difference — early week is "I just know," mid-week is "let me tell you a story about what I know."
Artemis says:
"I am safe. I trust the god within me to know if action is required or if I stand still and do nothing."
This week: Trust your FIRST instinct (early week especially). Don't second-guess the body's knowing. Duration (32) comes from listening to what feels sustainable in your GUT.
DIONYSUS (Sacral Center) - THE GROUNDING FORCE
Earth in 42 + Uranus in 3 (long-term) = Life Force EXPANDING and MUTATING
Gate 42 - INCREASE (Earth):
- Growth through completion
- Expansion at the root
- Saying YES to what wants to finish
- Cycles completing, new ones beginning
Gate 3 - DIFFICULTY AT THE BEGINNING (Uranus, long-term):
- Sprouting through chaos
- New beginnings are messy
- Creative mutation
- Life force evolving unpredictably
With Uranus in Gate 3 for YEARS:
How you respond to life is changing. Don't try to respond the "old way" — let Uranus evolve your sacral response.
Dionysus says:
"I respond with my whole body. My life force and creativity is a sacred gift."
This week: Your sacral wants to EXPAND (Earth-42). Let it. Say YES to what wants to grow. Finish cycles (42 loves completion). And trust that chaos at new beginnings (Uranus-3) is NORMAL — you're mutating, not breaking.
For Generators/MGs:
Pay attention to what gets a STRONG "uh-huh" this week. That's Dionysus (life force) meeting the Earth in 42 (increase). Your sacral is showing you what wants to GROW.
ARES (Ego Center) - THE WILLPOWER ACTIVATOR
Mars moves to Gate 44 (Ego) mid-week
Gate 44 - COMING TO MEET:
- Ancient I Ching: "The maiden is powerful. One should not marry such a maiden."
- Patterns from the past
- Alertness to what's arising
- Recognition of cycles repeating
Mars in Gate 44 (mid-week shift):
Around Wednesday/Thursday, Mars moves from Spleen (Gate 28 - instinct) to Ego (Gate 44 - will/pattern recognition).
What this means:
Early week: Mars = instinctual action (fast, gut-driven)
Mid-week: Mars = willful action (deliberate, pattern-aware)
Ares says:
"My worth is inherent. My actions and words hold anyone's respect."
This week:
When Mars enters Law key 44, you may recognize OLD PATTERNS trying to repeat. Ares (willpower) gives you the strength to choose differently. "This pattern served me once, but not anymore."
KRONOS (Root Center) - THE TIME PRESSURE
Venus moves 18 → 48 (Root)
Gate 18 - WORK ON WHAT HAS BEEN SPOILED:
- Ancient I Ching: "Decay. Supreme success."
- Correcting what's broken
- Fixing what went wrong
- Love of improvement
Gate 48 - THE WELL:
- Ancient I Ching: "The Well. The town may be changed, but the well cannot be changed."
- Depth of wisdom
- The source that never runs dry
- Going deep to find nourishment
Venus in the Root (Kronos):
Venus = love, values, what we're attracted to Root = pressure, time, urgency.
Early week (Venus-18):
Love of CORRECTION. Pressure to fix what's broken. You may feel urgency to improve, repair, make things right.
Mid-week (Venus-48):
Love of DEPTH. Pressure to go deep. You may feel urgency to find the SOURCE of wisdom, not just surface solutions.
Kronos says:
"I am driven by time. I execute tasks when pressure builds to completion."
This week: The pressure you feel (Kronos/Root) is guiding you toward what needs attention.
Early week:
Fix what's broken. Mid-week: Go deep to the well of wisdom. Both serve growth.
HEPHAESTUS (Throat Center) - THE EXPRESSOR
Jupiter in 12 (long-term) + Mercury moves to 56 (mid-week)
Gate 12 - STANDSTILL:
- Ancient I Ching: "Standstill. Evil people do not further the perseverance of the superior one."
- Waiting for the opening
- Articulation that holds until timing is right
- Not all words need speaking immediately
Gate 56 - THE WANDERER:
- Ancient I Ching: "The Wanderer. Success through smallness."
- Storytelling
- Stimulation through narrative
- Movement through words
Jupiter in 12 (months-long):
Jupiter EXPANDS everything it touches. In Gate 12, Jupiter wants to EXPRESS everything — but Gate 12 says WAIT for the opening.
The paradox:
You have MORE to say, but must wait for the RIGHT MOMENT.
Mercury moves to 56 mid-week:
When Mercury enters Gate 56 (Wednesday/Thursday), STORIES want to be told. Mercury (mind) in Throat (expression) through Gate 56 (narrative) = you'll want to SHARE what you've learned.
Hephaestus says:"
I execute with precision. I communicate clearly when the timing is correct."
This week:
Early week (Mercury still in Spleen) = instinctual knowing, not yet ready to articulate.
Mid-week (Mercury in Throat-56) = ready to TELL THE STORY. Wait for the opening (Jupiter-12), then share (Mercury-56).
HEPHAESTUS (Throat Center) - THE EXPRESSOR
Jupiter in 12 (long-term) + Mercury moves to 56 (mid-week)
Gate 12 - STANDSTILL:
- Ancient I Ching: "Standstill. Evil people do not further the perseverance of the superior one."

- Not all words need speaking immediately
Gate 56 - THE WANDERER:
- Ancient I Ching: "The Wanderer. Success through smallness."
- Storytelling
- Stimulation through narrative
- Movement through words
Jupiter in 12 (months-long):
Jupiter EXPANDS everything it touches. In Gate 12, Jupiter wants to EXPRESS everything — but Gate 12 says WAIT for the opening.
The paradox:
You have MORE to say, but must wait for the RIGHT MOMENT.
Mercury moves to 56 mid-week:
When Mercury enters Gate 56 (Wednesday/Thursday), STORIES want to be told. Mercury (mind) in Throat (expression) through Gate 56 (narrative) = you'll want to SHARE what you've learned.
Hephaestus says:"
I execute with precision. I communicate clearly when the timing is correct."
This week:
Early week (Mercury still in Spleen) = instinctual knowing, not yet ready to articulate.
Mid-week (Mercury in Throat-56) = ready to TELL THE STORY. Wait for the opening (Jupiter-12), then share (Mercury-56).
APHRODITE (G-Center) - THE DIRECTION HOLDER
North Node in 13 + South Node in 7 + Pluto in 10 (all long-term)
Gate 13 - FELLOWSHIP WITH MEN (North Node):
- Where we're going collectively
- Authentic community
- Transparent sharing
- Listening to universal stories
Gate 7 - THE ARMY (South Node):
- Where we're coming from
- Leadership through force
- Control and strategy
- Military organization
Gate 10 - TREADING/BEHAVIOR (Pluto):
- Love of self
- Being yourself unapologetically
- Transformation of identity
- Years-long deep work
Aphrodite says:
"I am love. My direction is fixed on service and acceptance."
This week:
The G-Center (identity/direction/love) continues its long-term transformation. Pluto is DESTROYING false identity (Gate 10).
The Nodes are shifting us from control (7) to fellowship (13). Your DIRECTION becomes clearer as you love yourself more (Pluto-10).
POSEIDON (Solar Plexus) - THE EMOTIONAL WAVE
POSEIDON (Solar Plexus) - THE EMOTIONAL WAVE
Saturn in 49 + Neptune in 30 (both long-term)
Gate 49 - REVOLUTION:
- Emotional necessity
- Changing what needs to change
- Transformation through feeling
- Molting the old skin
Gate 30 - CLINGING FIRE:
- Recognition of fate
- Emotional intensity
- Desire that lights the path
- Fire that illuminates and consumes
Saturn in 49:
Months-long lesson in EMOTIONAL AUTHORITY. Can you trust the wave? Can you wait for clarity? Can you stop letting the monkey mind override Poseidon?
Neptune in 30:
Years-long dissolution into TRUE FEELING. Neptune dissolves false emotional stories. You're learning what you TRULY feel vs. what you think you should feel.
Poseidon says:
"I am calm. I wait for emotional intimacy as I am, not as I should be."
This week:
If you have emotional authority, continue trusting the WAVE. Don't make big decisions in emotional highs or lows. Let Saturn (49) teach you discipline, Neptune (30) teach you depth.
THE MOON'S JOURNEY: EMOTIONAL WEATHER THIS WEEK
The Moon moves FAST, cycling through 13 gates this week:
4 (Ajna/Hermes) - Mental Solutions
29 (Sacral/Dionysus) - Saying Yes
59 (Sacral/Dionysus) - Intimacy/Openness
40 (Ego/Ares) - Deliverance
64 (Head/Apollo) - Before Completion
47 (Head/Apollo) - Oppression/Realization
6 (Solar Plexus/Poseidon) - Conflict
46 (G-Center/Aphrodite) - Serendipity
18 (Root/Kronos) - Correction
48 (Root/Kronos) - The Well
57 (Spleen/Artemis) - The Gentle
32 (Spleen/Artemis) - Duration
50 (Spleen/Artemis) - The Cauldron
Key moments:
Moon in 59 (Intimacy): Emotional openness, vulnerability, desire for closeness
Moon in 46 (Serendipity): Right-place-right-time moments, synchronicity
Moon in 32 (Duration): Emotional + instinctual alignment with SUSTAINABILITY
What this means:
Your emotional landscape SHIFTS rapidly this week. One moment you feel open and intimate (59), the next you're sensing what endures (32), then suddenly you're in the well of depth (48).
THIS IS NORMAL.
The Moon shows you ALL the emotional/instinctual flavors. Don't try to hold onto any one feeling. Ride the wave. Let it move.
If you have emotional authority:
The Moon is WHY your wave feels extra active this week. Don't make big decisions during peak Moon transits. Wait for the Moon to move through, then check your clarity.

THIS WEEK'S SYNTHESIS: TRUST THE BODY
SUN IN 32 (Duration/Artemis) + EARTH IN 42 (Increase/Dionysus) =
SUSTAINED GROWTH through BODY WISDOM
The teaching:
Your BODY knows:
- What's sustainable (Artemis/Spleen)
- What wants to grow (Dionysus/Sacral)
- How to expand without burning out
- How to endure without stagnating
Practical Application This Week:
✅ Trust what ENDURES (Sun-32) over what's flashy
✅ Say YES to growth (Earth-42) that wants to happen naturally
✅ Let cycles COMPLETE (42 = finish before starting new)
✅ Sustain, don't burn out (32 = marathon, not sprint)
✅ Listen to BODY (Artemis instinct + Dionysus life force)
✅ Watch mid-week shift (Mercury/Mars/Venus all move)
✅ Wait for openings (Jupiter-12 in Throat)
✅ Tell stories when ready (Mercury-56 mid-week)
The bottom line:
If it doesn't feel SUSTAINABLE (Artemis), don't commit long-term.
If your sacral doesn't say YES (Dionysus), don't force the increase.
But when instinct + life force ALIGN = SUSTAINED GROWTH happens naturally.
WHICH GOD/GODDESS IS SPEAKING TO YOU?
Want to know which of the Nine Officers speak through YOUR specific design?
Most people are working with the WRONG chart — calculated using tropical zodiac which is 23+ degrees off the actual visible sky.
Your gates might be completely different.
The gods you THINK are speaking... might not be YOUR gods at all.
Compare your tropical chart to your TRUE sidereal chart.
You may discover:
- Your type is different (not the Generator/Manifestor/etc. you thought).
- Your authority is different (not emotional/sacral/splenic like you believed).
- Your gates are shifted (completely new activations).
- Different gods speaking through you.
