A Huge Week Ahead! 

25:20 reminds me of that Jung quote: “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”

The Gift of the Magi. I just watched the Mikey Mouse version with the kids. Mickey sells his harmonica to buy a chain for Minnie's watch, while Minnie sells her watch to buy a case for Mickey's harmonica.

while I love the "5 things to watch for" videos, its also nice to hear you just riff on a week of transits

"Pull out the credit card. Make a bad mistake to take you home." Had me DYING! 😂

Giving is wonderful, however balance is paramount. Many illnesses come to overgivers!

I'm loving your emphasis on relational, rather than transactional, consciousness.

“It becomes really tricky when we’re living human lives, where there’s also this kind of tit for tat algebraic justice thing on a level of karma that’s going on because we are creatures that are trying to get our own. And so it’s sort of like, how do we rise above that, and not get too entangled in it, while also knowing it’s sort of inevitable that we will.” Adam Elenbaas Perfectly summized 🙏🏿 Sounds like major shadow work week! 😅

I can’t tell you how much this resonated today. “A competition of needs” and keeping a running tally of who is giving/receiving what has been at the center of some real tension in my life for some time now. Thank you for this perspective!

My Leo Moon was nodding through this whole video! I FEEL SO SEEN! I will literally put myself out for others so much just for the validation, but that can be exhausting and then I start to feel empty. "Venus in Leo has to do with whether or not people see you as the emerald. The rare high priced item." 👏

Particularly appreciated this talk! A push from the universe to step more into love 💜 Much food for thought and I'm very curious to see how the week unfolds. Thank you for your wise words!

I love it when my favourite astrologers and tarot card readers have similar placements to mine. Similar to you, I am a native Moon in Capricorn and Venus in Leo 😂. But my favourite part is when you dragged us for filth😂😂😂 the most accurate archetypal explanation of the Venus in Leo placement. The part about being generous so people can recognize how amazing we are? GOLDEN content! From: Another traditional astrologer from South Africa 🇿🇦

A Love Revolution!!🌺Brilliant! 🥰 We can do this! Create and nurture from a place of Love. 💗💞❣🙏

My thoughts about why relationships struggle so much is exactly that. When you are in a relationship because you need them to give you something you become insecure and fearful and controlling and the other person becomes defensive and avoidant. The best relationships are those where you don't expect or ask for anything from that person. And that's a great analogy, if you can give what you need, then you'll also receive it. Of course that might not logistically work for every single scenario. Like you can't give money you don't have and also get money, but in that case you give something of equal value to receive in equal value. But then you shouldn't expect to receive it just because you give unless it's a mutual contract like being employed. Expectation is the cause of misery and suffering.

“to fully receive is an act of generosity , and to fully give is an act of selfcare” - Charles Eisenstein .. apropos. Thank you for sharing your deep wisdom 🙏

This is exactly what I’ve been going through. Loving someone unconditionally who betrayed my trust and trying to move forward together in a way of, “what do you need from me.” I ultimately think the, “what I need isn’t happening now” idea led to the split in the first place. Anyhow, spot on and thank you for the validation and guidance as always.

It is okay to cut ties tho when the generosity of giving doesn't bare the fruit or the foundation for community into which it was lovingly contributed. 11th house uranus mars conjunction.

Dude you are speaking my language, I LOVE this!!! You are truly another version of me in another body but with different astrological aspects!!! It's a revolution of unconditional love that we can blanket the earth with!!! Lets GOOOOO!!!!!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜💗

My birthday is the 17th. I am 24 degrees Cancer Sun, and 25 degrees Scorpio Moon. On the 16th, the Sun will be at 24 Cancer and the Moon passes 25 Scorpio. I know most people may not enjoy a Scorpio moon but it is different for me. I am buying a house and it may close that day…

Adam, you are a treasure in our community.

Oh, I love this! Meet adversity with love and watch the battle dissolve.

I believe we can step into love through action for the collective (good of the whole), while distancing ourselves from interpersonal relationships that no longer serve us due to ideological differences. I can’t give to those who don’t want the same for the collective if they are not willing to do the work. They can be creative in how they express that, but it still needs to be expressed.

Picking out the most expensive is a true talent! You’ve got the touch! ❤

This was a beautiful and inspiring talk, THANK YOU!!! It's interesting to me also that we are in this deep Venusian inquiry into self-worth, reciprocal, gift-based exchange almost at the mid-point of Venus' synodic cycle that started in Leo last year. Venus is also appearing as evening star after her underworld journey, right as she opposes Pluto. A great opportunity to reflect on everything Adam discussed with this newly born, newly wise Venus. As evening star, she's willing to consider the whole concept of "sovereignty" from a softer gaze. May she show us the way to "stepping forward" with the love and enthusiasm in our hearts, while maintaining our strong, grounded spine. As ever, thank you so much for your offerings, Adam. Bless you!

Wow you never disappoint Adam

Nailed it! yesss having Venus in Leo is all of those things 👏 Seeing the beauty in the minutest of details, people not recognizing your potential etc. So realll. I have that in the 8H and it's soo precarious, but it's a wonderful filtering system that upon reflection is such a wonderful way to see who people are. 😔 But for artistic purposes it totally comes in handy! and for that I'm grateful

My ex and I have Venus/Pluto opp in our synsastry… it’s a hectic dynamic let me tell you. We have a 5 year old together and haven’t been able to let each other go

This was/is SO AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for GIVING to all of us! ❤

This is resonating very deeply Adam...thank you so much!!

I'm with a leo mars and I just said that to him. You only do or give when you feel like you will get praise or if it's for you. If your help or effort has nothing to do with making you feel good you won't bother. I'm an aqua venus and Mars and I'm like acts of service are important for me.

20:33-31:22 ❤Needed to hear all of that 🙏🏾

With everything going on in the world, the question I take into meditation is "How can I add more love to this equation?" I so appreciate your spiritual and philosophical insights blending with the astrological transits and archetypes. The Mars-Uranus conjunction will be right on my MC and square my natal Pluto & Mars in Leo. Uranus is such a wild card. I'm feeling this already as it's been sitting on my MC for a while. Curious to see what shifts/insights come with the Mars conjunction. I'll let you know. 😂 Enjoy Venus in Leo!

When I was a kid I had a book Called Socks For Super that was a version of this story, it's still one of my most favorite books from childhood, I know read it to my grand babies 🦁I believe the Story your refer to is called The Gift of the Magi, Clarissa Pinkola Estés has a great short story book that tells this story it's called The Gift of Story A Wide Tale About What is Enough. 🌌

Thank you for this. I am being mindful and trying to cultivate hope and patience. I am trying to have the mantra on replay, "choose love choose kindness."

I have been watching you for quite some time now, but I have to say, this may be one of my favorite talks. You seemed to be a little more raw and not so reserved. Thank you Adam!!

The gift of the Magi. ❤beautiful story

GOOD STUFF. I love that you highlighted a way the highest vibration could go!!

Thank you. I've been feeling all of this, and its good to hear the astrology is supporting the process. 🙏

Soul lives by giving ❤ A big ideal however worth seeking within . Nice you speak of higher love within personal love 💕 Thanks! Inspiring 🎉

Wow, it was a wierd weekend. Always expect the unexpected. On Saturday, when i finally had time to hike in nature and celebrate new moon, with the sun, moon, and Venus on or near my moon and Uranus in Cancer, i had to get out because last years new moon in Cancer was beautiful and magical. I felt like I'd planted seeds for a dreamy future. This time, car overheated and i may have been witness to a violent crime, and had to call 911, while still stranded. Ot did turn into a huge learning experience, like what the drill may be, and what to look for and do, etc. if car overheats, and i can fill grandson in, whose first car is same as mine, only newer. And i did review a relationship with a mechanic's son from years ago, doing alot of clearing on it, and s node in libra where my Saturn/ Neptune conjunct is. My Pluto and s node in Leo, 7th, so curious on what that may bring. Your talks earlier last week were very helpful and i felt like i was in line for something. Now, so far so good. I did alot of anxiety releasing and opening up to bigger picture. Then i thought, mabey this is the seeds sprouting and pushing through the soil. I kind of get that feeling more now, when moon's in AQ, with my N node there, in first house. Almost like a painful growth spurt that i missed growing up. Love your program. Have a safe and sane week! I think we're all preparing for next week. 😅🤩❣️💕🌹🦈⚕️🐦✌️☮️💜

I needed this so badly thank you🎉❤

Getting what we need by loving and generosity....Yes! As i'm awaiting this Mars/Uranus conjunction on my natal Jupiter in the 1st house opposing my natal Sun and Mars in the 7th 😅 I'm actually trying to hold this philosophy in mind and not let it be a lure into selfish actions. We shall see!

Thanks Adam for the insightful, well articulated perspectives on these big, rather complicated transits. The times we are in just keep calling us into deeper, sometimes profoundly difficult self examinations…ultimately for big transformations. Your insights are always very helpful!

Really loved this episode! With all these intense energetic combinations, I just wanted to share that my experience so far has been very simple/understated. I felt Neptune trine Venus last couple days in that my area was feeling like the beach- which is where I grew up. The humid air, the breeze, the smells, everything felt like I was next to the ocean when I wasn’t. It was just dreamy! This motivated me to get in shape because I’ll be visiting the beach soon 😁in order to feel better about my body, I need to be more restrictive & disciplined. So that dreamy Venus leads right into Plutonian power…and hopefully Mars action.

❤🎉💥😍 Another great transit video has me wrapped around your 🎤🎙️with food for thought!🤯 Bravo 😚🎯😅

Thanks!

Me too Adam! I have Venus in Leo too and ima giver ❤

Wow, Adam. I always take away little gems of wisdom from your videos, but you really doubled down on the insight for this one! Thanks for the daily dose of perspective.

This was great! Don’t diminish what you give .. I appreciate it all. And am learning through you how to pay it forward!😊 ❤Michelle Pelli

super into the transformation with you.... I've been on sa similar path.

damn adam admitting in this episode he has a mutual reception between venus in leo & the sun in taurus??? absolutely blessed

When Pluto opposed my natal Venus in Cancer in 2018, my mother passed. It seems to bring in death and loss (or thoughts of it even if not literal). So prepared for that. Along with my full moon b day the 22nd where Pluto has been moving back and forth over that Sun point for years. Almost done with that....almost.. after November.... Lord, lord.

"Your welcome" -- love it...great insight....

Thanks a million for this wonderful talk on LOVE!

Thank you, Adam. They are quite the transits ahead. I really appreciated your very astute insights on 'giving' in relationships. We have been so 'programmed' to have such high expectations of receiving. It is reflected in the divorce rates being so high. It's not about the 'other one' it really is a matter of looking within, and you've really provided many points to ponder! .

As always … a gem 💎 of a talk .!

The Venus in Leo but was spot on. I don’t keep score but there needs to be reciprocity or the resentment will start to grow and there’s no going back once it starts.

“A fun game of love”, my 7th house super stellium is wiggling its butt and smiling. I feel the same with competition, actually (“the house of open enemies”). I love to fight, but just for the joy of exchange, giving and receiving. When it’s personal, it’s painful.

I have never seen your channel before, I already knew this weekend may be tricky, as I have mercury in scorpio 12th house 21 degrees. But what a trip that talk was. I make jewellery, one off bespoke pieces, for the first time in 12 years, someone who commissioned me to make a very beautiful piece from emeralds and gold went to some jeweller who told her it was worth way less than even the materials cost me. She has turned around and said she wants her money back etc. I knew that this weekend was the weekend where she was going to be very confrontational. I have honoured me commitment to make her a beautiful piece from the materials she chose in the design she chose. So, for me I am clear. But it means drawing a boundary when I would rather be soft and fluffy. Amazing talk including the gems, truly.

astrology is so true

Very profound words there and I can relate as this is something I have been thinking about a lot. giving with love and not with expectation.

In my natal chart I have mercury and sun in leo in the 3rd house opposing my moon in the 9th. So I've been recognizing this in myself. ... This transit is showing up in people around me. I feel like I'm able to be an example is some ways. Thank you Adam. I always enjoy your input.

This transit (Venus-Pluto) will get my favorite discovery which is the song/video Ratatata from Babymetal & electric callboy. Fits very well, and if it doesn’t bring you joy, there’s definitely a deep deep issue that needs addressed. For me, figuring out the thing with geometry and numbers where the linked charts in western Hellenistic would be natal/fortune: I’ll be hammering this section out in courses strongly this week. We got the context. I’ve made jokes about my 11th being fortune 5th, the obvious ones. But to refresh myself on those ties, my chart is easy as it just flips around. Leo is fortune 6th that I view in general as selfless service to others and Aquarius flips around to the 12th. To me, 12th has a tendency to self focus and isolate, why it’s opposite to 6th. So there’s probably a very useful symbolism where 12 and 6 are connected by inversion. But I’ll have to give myself a fortune refresher as it’s become much more relevant. I’m glad I don’t HAVE to learn an eastern system but it also takes nothing away for the validity of the East. It’s just not critical in terms of topic right now. But I can sort through the geometry and math with the proper associations converting to the Hellenistic systems. Let me look, my memory is fuzzy.. what would associate in this system with Pluto would be what’s referred to as the reverse archai. An inversion of time and personality: musicians with strong Pluto placements often work with so much noise and distortion that the original harmony has lost its “identity”. The time part, an association with a nuclear explosion which is actually destroying the foundations of time/space. Good times. Hopefully this week is constructive.

I have a son and daughter with moon in Leo ….they are truly giving

Exciting couple of weeks - really like the reciprocation concept - hopefully fulfilling! Loving my uniqueness - nice message on the rarity I am and personal worth - sweet!

Incredible and beautiful Dharma talk right here thank you

....Gift of the Maji. O'Henry.

Thank you, Adam!❤

Thank you Adam. Sending good vibes

Thank you! This was beautiful and profound, as usual!

This made complete sense to me! Thanks Adam! 👍🏻

Loved this talk! Thank you Adam!

I look forward to your daily videos… awesome!

So good Adam, thank you!!!!

Omigosh me too in the antique store! 😂#alsovenusinleo

Yes Adam this finds love looking its best . Ty

Amazing talk today, Adam. Just in time. Thank you!

I appreciate that you point out the positive sides of (Venus in) Leo. As Virgo rising with 2 planets in Aqua it's hard to get along and express Leo energy. I have always found them to be too ego focused and with strong narcissistic traits. I like to broaden my mind and be less judging.

Looking forward to seeing how these transits play out!

Holy holy holy ! Great session today 🙏🏼🙏🏼💜👀🍄

Wonderful episode Adam!! Really important conversation going on here around lover and self! Love it

Thank you so much!

This is a remarkable offering. Thank you!

I have that, see the most expensive items that I like. 😊 Expensive taste .... 😅

Beautifully said 🖤✨

Uranus and Mars are also on my Ascendant. Thank you for mentioning this personal part. I'm asking the same questions right now. "How can I embody the Mars/Uranus transit in the most beneficial ways?"

super well put together and interesting, Venus at 21 deg Taurus, square Uranus, natally... and I see my progressed Mars is now at 18 Taurus as well... Moon in Scorpio.... hoo boy...!

Thankyou i enjoy and very much appreciate your perspectives and wisdom on the planetary archetypes and transits, so relevant for me right now 🙌

Thank you

Soooo helpful

I value your astrology presentations; you are one of two of my favorites . thank you

This was great food for thought!!! Thanks Adam for your wise perspectives!! Just imagine how the world could change if every single person on this planet took responsibility for their actions and really implemented this kind of loving kindness and egoless giving💖

👁️HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADAM!!👁️

Thank you for those words of yours. This is quite difficult in my situation as my love language is the of a giver and not a taker. It seems from your message as the divine flows through the stars, the sounds to my feeble ego mind as to over bearing where what more can I give if I have given it all, any how, never been a quitter. And a follower of the messianic avatar path of love, I’ll continue to do so, out come lies if I have the will to continue to do so in space or with some one the can’t acknowledge the necessary responsibility to commit to the changes needed so there is an equal reciprocation of energy and give and take. Your words are inspiring non the less, and I thank you 🙏🏽

Thx ❤ for the talk and your generosity. I'm not sure how hard or triggering this dynamic will play out for me personally. I have a natal Sun cazimi Mercury Cancer 29, 59' degrees and Moon in Scorpio. I'm a little worried, because I know what this symbolises for me natally. With Pluto in play again as well as the mix of Mars Uranus conjunct, I'm hoping for...a little mercy! The deal needs to be settled.

Wow exciting. Bring it on

Awesome video Adam!! Like someone else said, sometimes when you just riff, it is your best video! ❤

Wooo venus in leo.. you just keep telling your placements and I'm like 🫡🤭

Fantastic 🎉

Thank you ❤

Bravo!
