**Celestial Doses** is a space born from curiosity, clarity, and the desire to empower. Over time, it has evolved but its mission has remained the same: to make astrology accessible to those who seek to understand themselves and the world more deeply.
Many are familiar with Sun Sign Astrology reading horoscopes based on your birth month but that’s just the surface. Beneath lies a vast and intricate system: your *Big Three* (Rising, Sun, Moon), the twelve houses, planetary aspects, and transits that form the blueprint of your life story. For newcomers, this can feel overwhelming.
**Celestial Doses** exists to make astrology less intimidating and more *experiential*. Through tools, storytelling, livestreams, and (soon) one-on-one guidance, we approach astrology in a non-traditional, digestible way, designed for those who don’t just want to read astrology, but live it.

## About the Creator
**Adrianna Valdivia** first fell in love with astrology at 19, buying her first book on Chinese Astrology and never looked back. Now in her 30s, she has spent over a decade integrating astrology with real-world experience to craft insightful tools that help others gain clarity, confidence, and timing in their personal and professional lives
A **Virgo Rising, Sun, and Mercury** in Tropical Astrology (using Whole Sign or Placidus), Adrianna brings the archetypal essence of Virgo into everything she does: distilling complex information into something useful, meaningful, and empowering. Her love for pattern recognition, timing, and discernment makes astrology her natural language.
Professionally, Adrianna pursued a degree in Information Technology, also at 19, and went on to work as a software developer. She once even persuaded an all-male college class to build an astrology-based dating app, proof that she's always been blending the mystical with the practical. After graduating, she honed her skills in startups across Atlanta, growing into a respected senior engineer and public speaker.
Her talks cover topics like navigating tech careers as a single mom, how to advocate for yourself and get promoted, and understanding timing and identity through astrological transits.
Behind her career milestones was always astrology, her not-so-secret weapon for identifying strengths, deciding when to leap, and owning her path.
Now, she’s ready to share that wisdom with you.

Celestial Doses builds tools that make astrology and Human Design something you use, not just something you read about.
**Meridian**
Meridian is a journaling app that brings your natal chart and transits into one reflective space. Instead of generic prompts, Meridian synthesizes your actual placements, both astrology and HD, into questions and insights built specifically for your chart. It's currently in active development.
**The Celestial Doses Bluesky Bot**
Follow along on Bluesky for daily astrology, automated but never generic. The bot posts moon phase updates and moon transit aspects.

**Ascendant Reveal**
Your rising sign shapes how the world sees you and how you move through it, but it's often the most overlooked piece of a chart. Enter your birth date, time, and location to reveal your rising sign along with your chart ruler, the planet that colors your whole approach to life. Results are saved to your email, so you can retrieve your calculation anytime.

**Astrology & JavaScript Series** *(Archived)*
Built live, week by week, as part of Season 1 of the Celestial Doses livestream. This project explored the foundational building blocks of astrology, signs, planets, houses, aspects, and critical angles, using tools from the JavaScript ecosystem, coded in real time on stream. No longer actively maintained, but preserved as the origin point for everything that came after.

### The Celestial Doses Moon Cycle Bot

🦋 [@celestialdoses.bsky.social](https://bsky.app/profile/celestialdoses.com?ref=celestialdoses.com)
𝕏 [@celestialdoses](https://x.com/celestialdoses?ref=celestialdoses.com)
An astrology companion, built for Bluesky and X.
The Moon Cycle Bot shares daily updates on the Moon's sign, phase, and aspects, right in your feed. Reply with your rising sign, and the bot writes back with a short, personalized read on which house the Moon is currently transiting for you, and how that might be showing up in your mood or focus.
**What it does:**
- **Daily Moon posts.** Every morning, the bot posts the current Moon phase and zodiac sign, calculated precisely rather than pulled from a generic label. On Bluesky this runs daily; on X it's limited to New Moon, Full Moon, since X's API is pay-per-use and every post there costs money.
- **Daily Moon aspect posts.** A second daily post lists the Moon's major aspects to the other planets for the day, each marked applying (↑) or separating (↓), with retrograde planets noted (Rx). Applying means the aspect is still forming, its influence building. Separating means it's already peaked and is winding down.
- **Personalized replies**. Reply to a Moon post with your rising sign (for example, "Virgo rising", or just "Virgo"), and the bot responds with a short, human-feeling interpretation of that transit specific to you, threaded correctly back to your reply.
**A note on how to use this**
This bot is a creative, educational tool, not a substitute for professional astrology. It can offer a quick, fun spark of insight based on your rising sign, but astrology is a deep and nuanced practice. Working with a human astrologer brings personalized context, full transit work, timing techniques, and wisdom that AI can't replicate. Think of the bot as a daily nudge to stay curious, not a stand-in for real interpretation.
**\[For the technically curious:\]**
The bot runs on Node.js, deployed to Fly.io across two regions (iad and sjc) so a regional outage doesn't take it offline, with GitHub Actions handling the schedule: daily cron jobs trigger the Moon phase and aspect posts on both platforms, and checks every five minutes watch for new replies. Reply interpretations are generated with the Vercel AI SDK using OpenAI's gpt-4o-mini, kept short and platform-safe. Moon phase itself is calculated from raw illumination and angle data rather than trusting any single API's phase label directly, which keeps high-illumination days from getting bucketed as "Full Moon" a little too early. Shared state (which replies have already been answered, X's rotating OAuth tokens) lives in a small Redis instance so both regions stay in sync, rather than each machine keeping its own separate copy.
💻 [https://github.com/avaldivi/moon-cycle-bot](https://github.com/avaldivi/moon-cycle-bot?ref=celestialdoses.com)
**Changelog**
- August 2026 — Added X (Twitter) posting. Same daily phase/sign updates, aspect posts, and rising-sign replies as Bluesky, cost-gated to the major phases where it makes sense given X's pay-per-use pricing.
- August 2026 — Moved the bot to run across two Fly.io regions for resilience against regional outages, and migrated shared state (reply tracking, OAuth tokens) to Redis so both regions stay consistent instead of drifting apart.

##### 🌟 Editor's Note
“Astrology & JavaScript" was always a placeholder for something bigger. Season 3 is the first time the name actually matches the vision. Thanks for growing with it!
---
### 🔮 Astrology & Tech Series: S3 EP1 Recap
Season 3 is officially here and this first episode was less of a typical livestream and more of a full reset. A chance to catch everyone up on where things stand: the rebrand, the career updates, the current astrology, and where this season is actually headed.
Here's what we covered:
- The rebrand from **Astrology & JavaScript** to **Astrology & Tech** and why that change matters
- A season one and two recap for anyone jumping in fresh
- A career update: layoffs, a corporate detour, and landing in a place that finally works
- A deep dive into **Uranus ingress into Gemini** and what that means for the collective especially those of us in tech
- A preview of **Season 3's three pillars**: Astrology, Human Design & Entrepreneurship

### 🌀 Why the Rebrand?
The series started as **Astrology & JavaScript** because that's what it was — live coding in JavaScript, building astrology tools in real time. But so much has changed in the last year and a half. AI is now a core part of how we build. The tools have shifted. The conversation has expanded beyond just code.
**Astrology & Tech** is a bigger umbrella, one that makes room for AI tooling, open-source ecosystems, product development, and the intersection of ancient frameworks with modern systems thinking. The core intention hasn't changed: it's still about using these tools to understand yourself and navigate what's happening.
---
### 🪐 Current Astrology: What's Happening Right Now
This episode went deep on the collective transits that are actively shaping the tech landscape and honestly, everything else too.
**Uranus into Gemini** After seven years in Taurus disrupting our values, resources, and financial systems, Uranus is finally moving into Gemini. This is a transit about communication, information, and the speed at which both move. Expect: more tools, faster, with less filtering. The printing press happened under a similar transit and the tension this time will be around who controls the narrative and how we discern what's actually worth our attention.
**Pluto in Aquarius** Already reshaping the tech industry at a structural level. The collective changes we're seeing AI dominance, layoffs, open-source shifts, questions about what work even means are very much Pluto in Aquarius doing its thing.
**Neptune in Aries + Saturn in Aries** Neptune moved out of Pisces (goodbye Hollywood-era illusions) and into Aries, bringing the dream or the illusion down to the individual level. Saturn in Aries adds structure to that individual agency. Together: you can build something, but you have to do it with intention and real resources, not just speed.
**The opportunity:** Gemini and Aquarius trine each other and they sextile to Aries. That means the potential is real but sextiles require you to actively engage. These transits won't just deliver results. You have to meet them.
> *Know what house you have Gemini in that's where Uranus will be doing its work in your natal chart.*

**Bluesky Moon Cycle Bot,** now fully live and stable. Daily moon phase posts go out around 9 AM ET. Reply with your rising sign and the bot tells you which house the moon is transiting and how it may be influencing you. It also posts daily aspects with applying/separating indicators.
The bot is built on the **Vercel AI SDK** and **AT Protocol**, deployed via [Fly.io](https://fly.io/?utm%5Fsource=celestialdoses.com&utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=celestial-doses-issue-04), and is open source on GitHub. Mercury retrograde in Pisces earlier this year was the window to go back and fix it and it's been running clean since.
**Human Design Gate Tool,** a reference tool for all 64 gates is in progress. More details coming this season.
**Meridian,** a product in development built for astrology enthusiasts, astrologers, and writers who like to track their thoughts. More on this as it gets closer to launch.
---
### 🦄 What Season 3 Is Actually About
**Three pillars:**
**Astrology** continuing to track collective transits (Pluto in Aquarius, Uranus in Gemini, Neptune and Saturn in Aries) and how they map to real decisions in real careers. Not generic horoscopes pattern recognition you can actually use.
**Human Design**: going deeper into mechanics, gates, channels, and how understanding your design gives you better agency over your decisions. Especially useful right now when generic career advice is more likely to work against you than for it.
**Entrepreneurship**: what it means to build something in this era: the tools available, the ethics of using AI in esoteric spaces, the tension between building fast and building well, and what sustainable independent work actually looks like.
The season will feature guests who are actively living at this intersection not just talking about it.

Last updated: 2026-08-10T01:33:19.000Z
By mid-April, the Sun, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, and the Moon (all five classical planets) are in Aries simultaneously. Add Neptune and you have six. Chiron has been there since 2018 making it seven bodies in a single sign. This kind of pileup doesn't happen often. Astrologers have been tracking this moment for months. Especially under the major war and geopolitical actions occurring now.
## The Lineup
Here's every planet entering Aries this season, in Eastern Time:
| Planet | Enters Aries | Exits Aries |
| ------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------- |
| Neptune | January 26 | 2030s |
| Saturn | February 14 | April 2028 |
| Sun | March 20 (Spring Equinox) | April 19 |
| Mars | **April 9** | May 18 |
| Mercury | **April 14** | May 3 |
| Moon | **April 15** (stays \~2.5 days) | April 17, \~noon ET |
**April 15 is the peak.** The Moon enters Aries at noon ET and lands right in the middle of the cluster alongside Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and Neptune: all in the first 10 degrees. The Sun holds at 25°. Everything is present.
**April 19 is the culmination.** Mars and Saturn form an exact conjunction at 7–8° Aries: the warrior and the architect, fused. The Sun hits 29°, the final urgent degree of the sign, before crossing into Taurus that evening. After that the fast-moving planets begin their exit, and by May 18 when Mars leaves, this concentrated activation is over. Saturn and Neptune remain in Aries for years, holding the longer arc. But this peak window won't come back.
---
## What Aries Actually Is
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. Cardinal fire. The energy of initiation, courage, and the self in its most unfiltered form. It rules the head: the face you lead with, the instinct that fires before the committee in your mind convenes a meeting about it.
Key Aries traits: **directness, independence, courage, speed, self-assertion, pioneering spirit, impatience, and the drive to begin.** Aries doesn't wait for perfect conditions. It moves, then adjusts.
The sun is exalted in Aries. Mars, the planet of action and drive, rules it. When both are present together alongside Saturn (structure), Mercury (thought), and Neptune (vision), you have something unusual: *a moment where action, discipline, communication, and dream are speaking the same language at the same time.*
---
## There's a Spectrum to This
What an Aries pileup of planets means for you depends almost entirely on how comfortable you are with having agency.
Most people don't think about agency as a spectrum until they've hit the ceiling, which is burnout. And burnout is especially easy right now. There's an ongoing war. Political and economic tensions don't just affect the interested parties; they affect anyone who has a car and wants to be able to afford gas to get to work or hang out with friends. The weight of the world is real, and it's ambient. That kind of background pressure drains the tank before you've even started. I know you know.
But here's what the stellium is offering: momentum. And momentum is different from pressure.
Having agency in this era is vital but having too much of it, believing in hyper-individualism will cause unintended results. Learn to balance executing your vision while seeking feedback. Learn to use the tools available to you. Learn to pivot when necessary.
Last year I wrote about[ ](https://www.celestialdoses.com/being-agentic-with-saturn-in-aries/)[Saturn’s first ingress into Aries and the rise of the agentic era.](https://www.celestialdoses.com/being-agentic-with-saturn-in-aries/)
---
## The Tech Layer
There's a planet that doesn't get mentioned in most stellium coverage but belongs in this conversation: Pluto in Aquarius.
Pluto moved into Aquarius in 2023 and will be there through 2043\. Aquarius rules networks, technology, collective intelligence, and decentralized systems. Pluto in Aquarius is the slow, generational dismantling and rebuilding of all of that. AI, agents, platforms, protocols. The infrastructure of how humans coordinate and create is being torn down and rebuilt at the root level. That's the long arc. [I wrote a helpful guide of what Pluto in Aquarius means for the tech industry here.](https://www.celestialdoses.com/pluto-in-aquarius-survival-guide/)
Here's the astrological detail that connects it to this moment: Pluto at 5° Aquarius is in an sextile to Saturn at 6° Aries, within 1.2°. Neptune at 2° Aries is also sextile Pluto. A sextile is an aspect of opportunity and flow, two planets in compatible elements able to work together without friction. Aquarius and Aries are both forward-moving, future-oriented, and anti-status-quo in their own ways.
What that means practically: the Aquarian tech transformation (Pluto) is in direct support of the Aries individual initiative (Saturn, Neptune). The tools being built at the collective level are available to the individual in a way they have never been before. AI that used to require a team now runs on a laptop. Automation that used to require engineers now runs on prompts. The sextile is the bridge between what's being built at scale and what you can access and use right now.
The "You & your AI vs everyone else" framing you might be seeing on social media is the Neptune in Aries version: intoxicating, partially true, and missing the Saturn edit. Neptune dissolves the parts that don't hold up. Saturn builds what does.
The real opportunity isn't that AI removes the need for other humans. It's that AI removes the bottlenecks that used to require humans for purely mechanical tasks (research, drafting, scheduling, analysis). That frees you to do the work that actually requires *you*. Your judgment. Your relationships. Your creative instinct.
Used well, the tools are a lever. Used poorly, they're a way to feel productive while staying still.
Your network is also a tool. Aries is the individual, but Saturn in Aries is asking the individual to build *durable* things. Durable things require other people. The solo founder who never talks to anyone isn't building a moat. They're trapping themselves in an echo chamber.
The agency spectrum includes: what tools are you using, how are you using your network, and what are *you personally* capable of that can't be outsourced or automated? That intersection is where the Aries stellium wants you to plant something.
---
## If There's Something You've Been Sitting On
If there's a project you've been thinking about, talking about, researching but not starting, this is the window. Not because the stars guarantee anything. They don't. But because momentum is real, and the conditions for initiating something new are as concentrated right now as they will be for a very long time.
You don't need a launch. You need a first step. Aries doesn't ask you to have it all figured out. It asks you to move.

### Being Agentic with Saturn in Aries
URL: https://www.celestialdoses.com/being-agentic-with-saturn-in-aries/
Last updated: 2026-08-10T01:07:53.000Z
## Saturn in Aries
Saturn entered Aries a couple weeks ago and will remain there until September 1st 2025, and then again from February 13, 2026 to April 12, 2028\. This transit also makes an important aspect with Pluto in Aquarius and in order to take full advantage of this transit you must make pick up the call and do the work.
It’s important to call out that Saturn **does not** feel comfortable in this sign. Saturn exalts in Libra, the opposite sign of Aries. Libra is about compromise and partnership and Aries, well, is not about that. Saturn can put a damper on what Aries represents causing low confidence\[1\] or inability to sustain actions but how can we endure now that we know this? Let’s talk about it.
| Saturn is the planet of: **Structure** **Discipline** **Time** **Boundaries** **Responsibility** **Karma and consequences** **Mastery through effort** | Aries rules: **Initiation** **Courage** **Independence** **Impulse** **Action and assertion** **The self (identity and instinct)** |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
## The Rise of An Agentic Era
Recently I’ve been thinking about the word “agentic”. We currently use this adjective to describe AI or agents but this word was actually coined in the 1980s by psychologist, Anthony Bandura. Bandura’s 2001 work, Social cognitive theory: An agentic perspective, positions agency and self-efficacy at the heart of positive psychology.
It emphasizes that people as agents\[2\]:
- choose environments that foster growth
- deliberately act to shape their development
- and self-reflect to learn from their own performance
Agentic behavior is not exclusive to humans. It’s defined by a system's ability to set goals, act on them, monitor progress, adjust, and reflect. The adoption of “agentic” in AI signals a transfer of these core psychological features especially self-efficacy analogues into autonomous systems.
Saturn represents structure, boundaries, and maturation, while Aries rules selfhood, action, and bold beginnings. Together, Saturn in Aries asks:
- Can you be your own authority?
- Can you build sustainable structures from your instincts and impulses?
This transit develops the capacity for intentional self-leadership mirroring Bandura’s agentic functions like intentionality, forethought, and self-regulation.
If you've been laid off or feel drained in your current role, it's time to reorient how you approach your career and market yourself. In this new era of AI, how can you become agentic, proactive and adaptable, in your path forward?
Let’s talk AI agents. These systems are designed to carry out tasks with increasing autonomy, using detailed instructions. But despite their promise, they’re not fully independent, we’ve seen this in real-time, like with Klarna’s AI hiccup earlier this year\[3\]. They still rely on human oversight and correction. But one thing is for sure, AI agents learn through feedback. Can you say the same about yourself?
Yes, AI fatigue is real. But this isn’t just a passing trend, it’s reshaping the tech workforce in real time. Staying ahead means embracing new tools while reflecting on how to use them ethically and responsibly as individuals and as a collective.
## Saturn in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius
I talked about Pluto in Aquarius in depth [here](https://www.celestialdoses.com/pluto-in-aquarius-survival-guide/).
Pluto in Aquarius is collective transformation through technology, AI, systems thinking, and evolution of the group mind. Saturn sextile Pluto (a harmonious aspect) is strategic embodiment of radical change giving backbone to the transformation, not chaos. With this aspect occurring affecting us all, we must plan carefully in order to succeed\[4\].
**What does “sextile” mean?**
A sextile is a harmonious aspect between two planets, often signaling opportunity and potential. But unlike a gift handed to you, a sextile is more like a subscription offer, you have to opt in to benefit. It’s an invitation: if you’re willing to invest effort (your metaphorical “credit card”), you can activate and access the support it offers. The reward comes through engagement. You pay with intention, work, and presence and in return, you gain access to momentum, flow, and growth.
Let’s not forget, Saturn rules time, longevity, and mastery earned through effort. When Saturn forms a sextile with Pluto, it signals a rare window to lay down solid groundwork for lasting transformation, especially through advancing technology (Aquarius). This transit offers one of the best opportunities to turn disciplined effort into powerful results. The more structure and intention you bring, the more momentum you’ll build. Whether through mentorship, formal education, hands-on workshops, or self-guided tutorials, you’ll start to notice: your outcomes directly reflect your input. This is where transformation becomes tangible through commitment, consistency, and strategic growth.
The dynamic between Aries and Aquarius often feels like a collision between impulse and experimentation. Aries charges ahead, constantly starting new projects, some successful, others not but rarely quits. Aquarius, on the other hand, watches like a scientist, analyzing patterns and outcomes, always learning from the process. These two energies understand each other, but they're driven by different motivations.
Earlier, I mentioned that Saturn doesn’t feel entirely at home in Aries and that’s important. You might find it uncomfortable to take the lead or initiate something new, especially in unfamiliar territory like emerging technologies. Not being informed or not having structure during this transit can cause lack of self-confidence, conforming to other people’s standards, or a repression of anger resulting in displaced rage\[1\]. But mastery doesn’t come all at once, it’s built over time. Saturn in Aries can look like a trail of unfinished projects, but with each attempt, you’re pushing the lesson further. That’s where the real growth happens: not through perfection, but through persistence, iteration, and support. The key is not to go it alone. Lean on mentors, teachers, peer groups, and community to help steady your path and build the confidence you need to keep going. Through these efforts you will be able to build a steady foundation for a new identity under this new era of technology.
## Is this your Saturn Return?
You’re probably having a Saturn return if you were born April 7th 1996 to June 9th 1998 or if you were born March 3rd 1967 to April 29th 1969, this is your second Saturn Return. Saturn does retrograde back into the previous sign so always check your natal chart to confirm.
A Saturn return in Aries demands that you learn to trust yourself as a leader, to start things on your own terms, and to develop confidence through action, not theory. It’s about no longer waiting for permission you become the initiator.
Aries starts fast but Saturn wants commitment. That means learning to finish what you start, build sustainable momentum, and transform impulsive fire into lasting impact. Think of your career, passions, and leadership style as code you’re debugging. Each trial teaches you something. Even failed launches aren’t wasted they will be iterations in your personal resume.
Saturn in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius signals a deeper message: your personal maturation is contributing to the future of collective systems especially around tech, autonomy, and responsibility.
If you are experiencing your first Saturn Return, it might be a good idea to find a mentor who is experiencing their second Saturn Return. A Saturn Return does not have to be difficult at all. Self-awareness and consistency are key to accessing a new level of maturity under this planetary return.
## Let’s Piece This Together
From Bandura’s “agentic perspective”:
> “People are self-organizing, proactive, self-reflecting, and self-regulating, not just reactive organisms shaped by external forces.”Anthony Bandura, 2001
And now, from Saturn in Aries: We are tasked with embodying this agency in our personal identities, structures, and innovations.
Pluto in Aquarius supports the emergence of agentic AI: Transformative tech that is self-guided, feedback-responsive, and capable of interaction and cooperation with humans.
Together, the Bandura definition, the astrological transits, and AI development all converge on one key principle:
> The era of embodied agency both organic and artificial is here. Saturn in Aries offers the backbone. Pluto in Aquarius is pushing the evolution.

##### 🅰️ is for Agentic
> The ability to act independently and achieve outcomes through self-directed action
The word “*agentic*” is currently considered slang in Merriam-Webster, but its origins are far from casual. Coined in the 1980s by psychologist Albert Bandura, known for Social Cognitive Theory, it described people as intentional, self-directed agents of change. A radical shift at the time, it reframed us not as passive products of conditioning, but as conscious architects of our reality.
As Saturn has recently entered Aries and AI accelerates, the word is being reclaimed. In a world of digital identity and solopreneurship, being “*agentic*” reflects both the rise of autonomous AI systems *and* our own need for independence. But there’s always a caveat.
Saturn in Aries isn’t comfortable, it’s urgent, raw, fast-moving. Much like AI. And while the innovation is exciting, it’s easy to overlook the ethical implications rushing past us. In another post, we’ll dig deeper into that.
---
##### 🪧 What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
MCP is a way for various apps like databases, APIs, and file system readers and language models (like ChatGPT) to talk to each other in a structured, memory-aware, and goal-oriented way. Right now, multiple communities, companies, and organizations are building custom MCP Servers and Clients to get ahead of the curve of making it easier to for an LLM to communicate and take action on a tool or platform’s data. To better understand what MCP can provide, let’s compare it to a standard API:
We’re going to be using a Bluesky MCP Server to achieve a goal in creating the simple Bluesky Bot we’ve built into being context aware. It will help with keep track of the user who replies to the bot post and replying back once an LLM has generated a response. LangGraph will be the piece of this project that actually makes the bot agentic through a series of instructed steps or also known as nodes.
---
##### 📈 What is LangGraph?
It is a tool that helps you build AI workflows that can think and make decisions step-by-step, like a flowchart powered by AI. LangGraph is built on top of LangChain, think of it like a more advanced or structured layer that gives LangChain workflows memory, branching, and decision-making abilities.
Let’s say you want to build a customer support AI that: Understands a user question, decides if it needs to search a database or ask a human, returns an answer or routes it to a person. LangGraph helps you draw this out and control the flow intelligently, so it's not just a linear script. It can loop, branch, and make decisions dynamically.
We’re adding LangGraph to the Bluesky bot so it can handle replies more intelligently. When someone replies with their rising sign, the bot will use that info to trigger an LLM and generate a personalized response. Then, it will use the Bluesky MCP Server to send a reply back to the user.
---
### 🦄 What’s next?
We talked about the implementation process for converting the Bluesky bot. I’m really big on planning first and researching technologies before jumping especially if it’s AI related. There’s always a possibility for a variable we didn’t account for though. Next step is to just build and share any blockers as part of my process. That will be on the next livestream.
Below are some more topics I plan to go into in the next episodes!
##### Other MCPs and AI Agents
MCP may have been recently introduced in 2024 but it is finally running with fire these past few months. I would love to dive into other MCPs and AI Agents that are out there that would be helpful for the rest of the development process.
##### Introducing Human Design (HD)
I’ve been focused heavily on technical topics during the series so I look forward to speaking more about other topics like Human Design. It is a lot like a user manual for your energy and decision-making style, based on your birth time, date, and place. In simple terms, It combines astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, and the chakra system to show you:
- How your energy works
- How you make the best decisions
- What roles and patterns you’re here to live out
It gives you a "type" (like Generator or Projector), which tells you how you're designed to interact with the world. It also shows your natural strengths, challenges, and how to avoid burnout or frustration.
> If astrology is like your cosmic personality map,
> Human Design is your personal operating system.
I have been using HD for almost 2 years and it has been a very interesting system in helping me make the right decisions to determine where I want to put my energy at and the direction I want to take my career. It’s not a simple system but it is mind blowing once you get it! It helps you stop trying to be someone you’re not and start using your energy in a way that actually works for *you*. I’m excited to introduce this topic on the series in a future episode.
---
### 📢 Interested in being a guest on the series?
I’m looking for engineers interested around the topic of Astrology or Human Design and Professional Astrologers and Human Design Analysts looking to share what they do and their services. Below you can see previous recorded livestreams I’ve done in the past with featured guests.

### Pluto in Aquarius Survival Guide
URL: https://www.celestialdoses.com/pluto-in-aquarius-survival-guide/
Last updated: 2026-08-17T13:47:00.000Z
## What is Pluto in Aquarius and Why It Matters in Tech
Pluto was in Aquarius from March 23rd to June 11th, 2023, and again from January 20th, 2024 to September 1st, 2024\. Pluto re-entered Aquarius on November 19th, 2024, and now remains there until March 8th, 2043\. It stays in a sign for 15–20 years, reshaping entire **industries**, **institutions**, and **collective behaviors** through slow but irreversible destruction and regeneration.
| **Pluto** is the planet of:**Power** **Transformation** **Death and rebirth** **Systemic purging** | **Aquarius** rules:**Technology** **Networks and the internet** **Collective systems and communities** **AI, innovation, and decentralization** **The nervous system** **Rebellion, revolution, and the future** |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
Previous to Aquarius, Pluto was in Capricorn (2008–2023). It was focused on dismantling outdated power structures. It was about survival through structure and status. Pluto in Aquarius (2023–2043), by contrast, shifts the focus to networks, technology, and decentralization. It challenges us to find power not in titles or institutions, but in our contributions, adaptability, and community impact. Where Capricorn asked, “How high can you climb?” Aquarius asks now, “How do you connect, evolve, and liberate?”
How does this affect us in the next two decades:
- Tech is ground zero for systemic transformation.
- AI and algorithms will replace, reorganize, and reveal what’s obsolete.
- Sovereignty, decentralization, and innovation will become survival tools, not just buzzwords.
## The Tech Workforce is the Epicenter of Pluto's Earthquake
We’ve encountered a destabilized job market, a change of directions in product road maps, and increased uncertainty around our future even if you manage to snag a shiny new job with the role of your dreams. There’s a handful insights I managed to acquire that allows us to determine the way we can try to stay ahead of what’s to come for our current and future careers.
This guide will help you not just survive but lead, in a world where **Pluto kills what’s stagnant** and **Aquarius births what’s future ready**.
### 🫀 1\. Build a Nervous System That Can Withstand Disruption
Tech has long glorified burnout as sacrifice but Aquarius will kill this type of martyrdom behavior. If your nervous system is fried it’s impossible to recognize when you are making decisions from a survival point-of-view instead from a values-driven system where you are the one who has some sense of control of your own future based on conscious decision making. This goes beyond taking care of your mental health but the complete embodiment of creating a system of safeness that directly affects your nervous system.
Regulating your nervous system is one of the most effective ways to build resilience, reduce anxiety, and actually follow through on goals without burning out. Nervous system regulation is about bringing your body out of fight/flight/freeze and into a more balanced state where you can *respond* rather than *react*.
There are multiple techniques that give you the best starting point. Once you realize, this is the foundation to begin surviving anything thrown your way in this new era.
| **Mind-Based Techniques**These help your brain process stress signals more effectively.**Meditation** **Visualization** **Grounding techniques** **Reframing thoughts** | **Body-Based (Somatic) Practices**These help discharge stored stress and signal safety to your body.**Deep diaphragmatic breathing** **Progressive muscle relaxation** **Cold exposure** **Gentle movement** **Dancing** | **Relational & Environmental**We co-regulate with others and our surroundings matter.**Safe social connections** **Therapeutic touch** **Nature exposure** **Creating calming spaces** |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
Surviving Pluto isn’t about output at all. It’s going to be about resilience. Heal the system within so you can thrive in the system without. It’s also the first one on this list because the rest of this guide is going to trigger you.
### 💟 2\. Core Values Are Critical
Pluto is a purifier. It strips away illusions, masks, and false alignments. If your career, relationships, or projects are not rooted in authentic values, they will be tested often through upheaval or loss. Aquarius rules the collective, the network, and the hive mind. Values that are represented by ethical *principles* and are applied collectively or ideologically is Aquarius’s domain. It’s easy to get absorbed into tech trends, groupthink, or social algorithms and lose track of what you stand for.
Pluto in Aquarius is decentralizing everything: tech stacks, org charts, communities, and currencies. In decentralized systems, no one is telling you what to do, you must be your own regulator. Your core values become your protocol for decision-making, especially when no hierarchy is guiding you.
Because Pluto brings *power, fear, control, destruction, and rebirth* to wherever it transits, Aquarius becomes a testing ground for your values at a societal level:
- Will you conform or remain sovereign?
- Will you sell out or create change?
- Will you align with a community with strong values or silently collapse into collective nihilism?
### 📈 3\. Communities are now worth equity
If you are applying to jobs through job boards or paying for various AI tools to do it for you and it’s working for you, then by all means this tip might not worth it but if it isn’t then communities are a worthy investment and it’s never too late to start.
How do you even begin to start investing in a community?
- Build a niche visibility (livestreams, niche blogs, open source projects)
- Attend in-person meetups, be part of Discords, small cohort spaces and follow up with people who align with your values
- Stay curious about people’s journeys and not just their roles
- Collaborate in public (Twitter, Bluesky, Discord, DAO-aligned work)
If a community is worth equity then that means referrals can be considered currency and not to appear as a transactional method only but to reference how valuable it is to be involved in a community that pours into each other especially when in need. It speaks to building relational capital rooted in shared values, curiosity, and long-term co-creation.
### 🤖 4\. Creating Sovereignty Through the Integration of AI Tools and Decentralized Tech
This is the era of augmentation. AI isn’t here to replace you unless you refuse to evolve. And I’m not here saying these tools are any smarter than you but they are flexible and determined to grow, are you? Some tools might suck terribly and then there are other tools that save you minutes to hours in a day because you automated a simple task leaving yourself time to do whatever else your little heart desires.
Enabling and unlocking your workflow with ethical AI tools let’s you build a sovereign digital identity which is essential to understanding where tech becomes decentralized. As we shift from centralized platforms to user-owned ecosystems, this includes Web3, Crypto, Blockchain and Bluesky. You will find that these technologies and platforms have quite a lot in common. There are new financial and social layers growing in this space.
**What to learn:**
- How to prompt, fine-tune, and orchestrate LLMs
- How to pair AI with agents (LangGraph, Autogen, etc.)
- How to use AI to accelerate your creativity and not replace it
**What to explore**:
- AI Orchestration → Building agentic systems that retain state, logic, and purpose across tasks
- Resilient Tech Stacks → Lightweight, open-source, self-hostable tools that reduce reliance on cloud monopolies
- Git-based Workflows → Version control and open contribution history create verifiable public work
- Web3, Cryptocurrency & Blockchain → Own identity, assets, and access through wallets and smart contracts
### 👾 5\. Your Weirdness Is The Asset
AI can mimic your likeness but it can’t match your **authenticity**, the lived experience, perspective, and energy behind your work. We’re living through a redefinition of work, networking, and value that renders traditional resumes incomplete. For decades, resumes have served as proxies for identity: a list of job titles, degrees, and roles meant to prove worth.
And now the market is beginning to appear saturated. The hiring systems are automated. And some companies are using AI to screen candidates, filtering based on predefined criteria that rarely reflect the full spectrum of the human potential.
Aquarius values innovation, eccentricity, and what deviates from the norm but there is a nuance, Pluto in Aquarius pulls us toward the collective; mass systems, networked identities, hive-level restructuring. Your weirdness is now your moat. It is always important to recognize the astrological sign in opposition to reflect and create remediation for events that cause inevitable transformation. The opposite sign of Aquarius is Leo. Pluto in Aquarius pulls us toward the collective, but Leo, reminds us to shine as individuals. Honor the polarity and be seen authentically. Don’t hide behind tech and not bring *your voice* to it. Build in public, share from the heart.
**Practical expressions:**
- Write about your niche intersection
- Build tools for communities you’re actually in
- Create a public learning journey (showing your process is more magnetic than your product)
- Start a recurring series (livestream, blog, project drop) where you’re the lens
**What to consider:**
- What unique POV do you bring?
- What problems do you want to solve, obsessively?
- How do you share that in a way people remember?
### 🫰 6\. De-condition from Title Worship and Design a Career that Withstands Corporate Apathy
Large corporations are optimizing for stockholders and AI efficiency. *You're* *replaceable by design.* Hierarchies are experiencing a slow dismantling process, exposing the hollowness of titles, and demanding a redesign of value and labor.
Microsoft laid off 6,000 employees including entire layers of management and directors, selected not by performance reviews or teams, but by an algorithm.
Why?
Because hierarchy is too slow for this new era.
- **Document your impact and feedback, not your rank.** Track problems solved, user outcomes improved, systems stabilized. Capture feedback not only from customers impacted but the recommendations you acquire, good or bad. Stop attempting to climb a ladder and instead look to build a lattice.
- **Prioritize skill over loyalty.** Don't stay at a job hoping the company will suddenly value you. Instead, use it as a launchpad; learn, document, and GTFO when you hit the growth ceiling.
- **Know who funds your company.** Research investors and board members. Are they aligned with innovation or fast exits? A company backed by extractive VCs is unlikely to offer long-term stability. It’s important to notice the red flags: VC firms known for “growth at all costs”. Leadership that celebrates AI with no workforce plan. Startups with no commitment to open tech or community.
You will be recruited, marketed to, pressured, and paid very well to conform. Pluto will keep testing your alignment with the values you honor and if you betray those values, you are more likely to experience burn out and distrust for your chosen place of employment. Golden handcuffs will become more difficult to accept when you burn out consistently.
### ✍️ Let’s Take It Home
What does career security, credibility, and growth mean in the Pluto in Aquarius era? We must create personal sustainability, decentralized contribution, strategic AI use while staying rooted in our own vision and values rather than a company’s hierarchy.

### 🔮 Astrology & Series: S2 EP1 Recap
##### Introduction
I Introduce myself as host of the series, Senior Software Engineer and Astrologer. I explained how the series came about and the unfinished knowledge base I built last year using React, Remix, and Styled Components. It desperately needs to be updated.
##### < 1 year Career Journey
Since pausing the series last year due to burn out, I’ve been laid off, accepted into Big Tech, then realized it was not where I wanted to be to returning to start ups after realizing my values align best with smaller companies, all during this unstable job market.
##### Moon Cycle BlueSky Bot
We went over the simple bot I built that posts to BlueSky:
🌔 Pulls moon phase data from U.S. Naval Observatory
♒ Pulls zodiac sign information from swisseph node package
🌀 Posts to BlueSky using ATProtocol API

### 🦄 What’s next?
##### Moon Cycle BlueSky Bot
There’s a lot of opportunity to make the bot more autonomous using an LLM and agents to assist with end-to-end process. What if a person could reply to the bot on BlueSky with their rising sign to see how the moon can affect them personally based on which house the moon is transiting?
An **LLM** stands for **Large Language Model**. It's a type of **artificial intelligence model** that's trained on massive amounts of text data to understand, generate, and manipulate human language.
In the context of **LLMs**, an **agent** is like a smart assistant that not only **responds** to prompts, but also **takes actions**, **remembers goals**, and **uses tools**. It’s kind of like giving ChatGPT a to-do list, internet access, and a calculator.
