Core themes
The USA Pluto Return Takes Center Stage
Kayleigh said Pluto would return to its 1776 position of 27 degrees and 33 minutes Capricorn on February 20, 2022, with three exact hits over the year. She described Capricorn as the sign of established structures and argued that the decay visible since 2008 would turn into a transformation of those structures in the United States. To test the idea, she looked at Pluto returns in England, citing a famine, Elizabeth I's religious laws and the early nineteenth century, and concluded that other nations came through theirs just fine.
Neptune Opposition and the Great Splitting
Looking at a biwheel of the US birth chart with the current transits, Kayleigh pointed to a thick Neptune opposition and a Neptune square to the natal Mars. She said Neptune could bring unconditional love and mysticism or delusion, addiction and fog, and she described Neptune in the third house as a spell over national communications. Chance offered his own reading that half the country might sink into addiction while the other half expanded spiritually, and the pair agreed that it illustrated the great splitting they were already seeing.
Jupiter in Pisces and the 1856 Echo
Kayleigh said Jupiter would meet Neptune in Pisces on April 9 and enter Aries on May 10, and she framed Pisces as a place of both depression and spiritual insight. To see what might follow, she researched 1856, the last Jupiter and Neptune conjunction in Pisces, and listed shipwrecks, the Paris maritime declaration, the Know Nothings, new universities and the founding of Credit Suisse. Chance added his own suspicion about how grand early university buildings appeared in tiny towns, pointing to Columbia, Missouri. Kayleigh said she would not be surprised by flooding or a burst of artwork, and the talk turned to hopes that court cases would resolve well.
The Nodes Move to Taurus and Scorpio
Kayleigh said the lunar nodes were shifting from Gemini and Sagittarius to Taurus and Scorpio, moving from an axis of perception to an axis of resources. She described Taurus as earth, survival and real food, and Scorpio as shared resources, transformation and consequences. She predicted guerrilla gardening, regenerative agriculture and food forests, and said Saturn in Aquarius squaring the nodes would bring delays and controls. Chance wondered whether Uranus in Taurus could point toward tapping the ambient electricity of the earth, linking it to his recent conversation with George Wiseman.
Pluto in Scorpio, Shadow Work, and Grounding
Kayleigh, a Pluto in Scorpio native, said her generation faced a south node transit over Pluto while Uranus opposed it, which she called a chance for huge karmic release, with fruition for some and evolution for others. She warned that old debts and buried secrets could surface. Throughout the night she urged listeners to ground, stay in their bodies and keep up their spiritual hygiene, and she insisted that shadow work is never finished. She closed with a short lesson on finding a transit in your own birth chart.
Quotes
“But I'm thinking like half of the country is going to be going deeper into addiction and mental slavery and psychic death, psychic suicide. And the other half of the country will be going into expanded psychic abilities, powers, and spiritual depth that they've never experienced before.”
“That's one thing that I didn't get into with George Wiseman in the most recent InnerVerse episode very much, but he's really into the Tesla research and powering things with the actual ambient electricity of the air and the ground. I think that's easier to do than the way we're doing it now.”
“52 InnerVerse episodes, which would be one for each week. That's my high score at this point for the main show. And then I started Vibe Rant and I was a guest on a bunch of shows. So it was my best year.”
“But really, seriously, the more work you're doing on yourself, the more individuated you are and so forth, the less these kind of like astrological weather transits will affect you because you're vibing above it or, you know, whatever.”
“The number one biggest thing that we're going through right now and that we will see a kind of a climax and bubbling up of this year is the U.S.A. Pluto return. What this means is that Pluto is returning to the same position and degree it was when the U.S. Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 on July 4th.”
“I really love controlling the outcome. I have a Capricorn ascendant, a Capricorn north node, a Capricorn moon. If I could control my life, I would. But we can't, all we can do is control ourselves and how we react or respond to different situations.”
“Neptune can have some really beautiful expressions and Neptune can have some really dark expressions. The beautiful expressions include unconditional love, forgiveness, mysticism. Beautiful things like that. The dark side of Neptune is delusion and addiction and spells, fog, awful shit like that.”
“Wherever Jupiter goes, he expands things. And Pisces is the deepest reaches of the unconscious, the spiritual world, the unseen world, the deep, deep water. That's also kind of where depression, death, doom, isolation, that type of stuff lives there. But also like spiritual insight, intuition, you know, the mystic abilities, all those things live there.”
“Taurus is all about the earth. It's ruled by Venus. It's all about the physical assets. It's all about natural fibers, real things, physical things, like leather and soil and like this wooden desk. It's about survival. It's about having the things that you need in order to support your body. So like real food.”
“We are a very intense bunch. Pluto in Scorpio tends to be put into different positions where we are powerless in order for us to realize our real true power and then it can never be taken away from us.”
“You're never done doing shadow work. If you ever meet someone that says, yeah, I've done my shadow work. I'm done doing that. I don't need any more of that. Run away.”
“When you're looking at transits and you're trying to determine how it's going to affect your chart, basically what you need to do is find where the transit is happening in the chart. So like for example the North Node Taurus Conjunction is happening at 18 degrees of Taurus. Then you would open up your birth chart and look up where 18 degrees of Taurus is.”

See all Kayleigh episodes→Kyle and Serena Denton are community herbalists creating wild-crafted and organic plant medicines out of Milwaukee since 2015. I have used their teas and tinctures on an almost daily basis for years now. Kyle is a great friend of InnerVerse and has appeared on the channel more times than I can count. These products work, not in the allopathic "pharma-medicine" way, but in a terrain-support, consciousness bolstering plant-teacher sort of way.
