Stargazing with Daniel Jackson: The Retrograde Rodeo

Hello, celestial voyagers! Are you ready to dance with the planets? Well, put on your starry dancing shoes because the retrograde rodeo has begun!

Mercury is hanging out in Sagittarius and he's got his running shoes on. You know what that means? Expect a lot of foot-in-mouth situations. If you've ever wanted to put your foot in your mouth, now's the time. Great for yoga flexibility, not so great for social interactions. #MercuryInSagittarius #FootInMouth

Venus is chilling in Libra, her home turf, and she's got love on her mind. So, if your love life has been drier than a desert on Mars, expect things to get steamy! Just remember, Venus in Libra likes balance. No crazy love octagons, please. #VenusInLibra #LoveIsInTheAir

Speaking of Mars, our red neighbor is in Scorpio, bringing passion and intensity into everything we do. It's like adding hot sauce to your morning coffee; it'll wake you up, but it might also make you cry. Handle with care. #MarsInScorpio #HotSauce

Jupiter's lounging in Taurus, making this a perfect time for expanding your portfolios and waistlines. Don't be surprised if your ambition starts to rival that of a Hobbit’s appetite. #JupiterInTaurus #EatDrinkAndBeMerry

Saturn is taking a dip in Pisces, which means it's time to get serious about our dreams. Just remember, if your dream is to befriend a unicorn, maybe aim for something a bit more achievable like befriending a llama. They're just as majestic, promise. #SaturnInPisces #DreamBig

Uranus is also hanging out in Taurus, so expect the unexpected. Like socks in the fridge or finding your keys in the freezer. Embrace the chaos! #UranusInTaurus #ChaosIsAfriendOfMine

Neptune is in Pisces, so dreams and reality might start to blur. If you find yourself having a deep conversation with a toaster, don't worry, it's just Neptune doing its thing
