This morning on The Daily Whatever Show, I was flying solo while Dana was off on a top-secret mission, and I got to kick off the Lunar New Year — the Year of the Fire Horse — with one of my best friends in the world, Char Sundust. We talked about what the Fire Horse actually means in Chinese astrology: power, momentum, passion, upheaval, transformation. The horse is already the most dynamic sign in the zodiac; add fire and you get acceleration. Big change energy.
We also dug into what’s happening in Western astrology right now — Saturn and Neptune conjunct at zero degrees Aries for the first time in over 2,000 years — what some are calling a “Great Reset.” Order meets illusion. Accounting meets dreams. Secrets meet consequences. It’s the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. And yeah — that feels exactly like the moment we’re living in.
But this wasn’t just astrology talk. Char grounded it in something much more practical: love as an action, love ethics, real connection, community, decolonizing our minds, being honest instead of pretending. We talked about accountability in the world — including around abuse and power — and also about how we protect our own souls while facing hard truths. We talked about authenticity, about not becoming someone’s healer when that’s not your job, about choosing joy, about being in the dream but lucid inside it.
It was deep, funny, irreverent, and very real — exactly what happens when you put two GenX Aries moons on camera together.
Year of the Fire Horse? Clear the way. It’s time to get real and move.
