The Astrology and Mythology of Sailor Moon with Astrologer Christopher Renstrom

[@anonymousancient]

Trivia: Naoko Takeuchi(a Pisces btw), the author of Sailor Moon, belonged to her school's astrology club and was active as a shrine maiden. She loved and studied astrology. Sailor Moon was born because Naoko always dreamed of having friends 😭 I also read that she experienced bullying in school and was mostly an outsider. Sailor Mercury was the most popular Senshi (Soldier) in Japan. I could go on for ages 😅 Thank you again Chris ❤ This video came just right in time for my birthday 🎉🎉🎉

[@AwareInTheWoods]

thank you for sharing and Happy Birthday 🥳🌙💖

[@christopherrenstromastro]

Thank you SO MUCH @anonymousancient for filling in the gaps. I didn't know that Takeuchi belonged to an astrology club or that she was bullied in school. It makes so much sense! Thanks again for sharing this information. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! ❤😊

[@TM-hd5iv]

The author is a Pisces?! 🤯♓ That's one more thing we Pisceans can brag about 🥰😉

[@salexo9]

Naoko didn't have children until after Sailor Moon ended and she met her husband. Her son was born in 2000 and her daughter in 2009.

wish there was a love button. My youngest brother, 15yrs my junior, introduced me to Sailor Moon. When his nieces were born he made certain they also saw it. Your explanation helped me understand a couple questions I had and couldn't understand regarding the astrology association. now it makes sense to me. I'll be definitely looking for the Sailor Moon tarot cards I've seen around. I'd restarted watching the different series, I need to finish them again

@@christopherrenstromastro not certain where I've seen 2 different KZbin readers using them. They were only the Major Arcana. Looking up where I could purchase a deck I found that deck being used in the videos I saw wasa limited release for the 25 year anniversary. Etsy is the best place to look. On Etsy I saw that one official deck and what looked like a fan created deck too. But I'm not positive. Although I've probably seen all the different ones, the ones I remember most are the movies. My daughters and nieces had several of the movies on VHS they watched daily for years. Especially whenever they went to each other's homes.

👉🏻 As a Millennial growing up with Sailor Moon, I have to thank you for giving your astrology point of view on the series - You're the best, Christopher! 👍🏻

I'm so glad that you enjoyed this @tamertakuya. And thanks for watching!!! 😊

[@Hanakow]

You're not going to believe this, but I knew sailor moon was much more than a simple cartoon, it has so much esoteric knowledge hidden in in it. It changed my life and it changed the world too. I used to watch it as a child in the 90s (I was like 9 or 10). I don't know... It's going to sound crazy, but sometimes I think it was a channel to the feminine energies sort of awakening more strongly since it was aired. Hahaha I'm going to stop before I sound more nuts, I'm sorry, but I'm a big fan and Naoko Takeuchi is a big creative referent for me, I admire her even more after I watched this video. And I admire you too for your incredibly keen eye and incredibly deep knowledge about astrology. Also, hi to all the other Sailor senshi visiting your channel. Super subscribed!!!!

[@christopherrenstromastro]

You don't sound crazy at all @Hanakow. The message of Sailor Moon is all about channeling feminine energy in a constructive way and harnessing it for the good of life and the planet. There is so much to admire - and to be thankful for - in Takeuchi's message. We are all made the better for it. Thank you SO much for watching. 😊

I can feel the love and respect through the screen that you have for Sailor Moon. You light up so much when doing her catchphrases, and the way you read about the scouts is moving. I haven't even finished this video, but I feel so fortunate to have found it. I am a lover of both astrology and Sailor Moon. I am still a novice, and I am studying my astrology day by day. I was pondering on how I haven't seen a true break down of Sailor Moon's astrology from the perspective of a committed astrologer. I could see how there was so much astrological content. Then this video found me shortly after! I now have seen it. I pray Naoko Takeuchi finds this somehow. For I am sure it would definitely touch her heart. What an absolute work of love and honor this is. Inteding all lovers of both astrology and sailor moon come across this. I hope you come out with some more episodes, even with some other animes involving astrology! Would be lovely. Profound work, thank you so much for sharing.

[@christopherrenstromastro]

[@ingang8817]

Yeah finally a professional astrologer talk about Sailor Moon XD I always think about this manga in astrology aspect but not many people care about manga/anime to discuss. 1:35:48 Both Haruka Tenou and Sailor Uranus has female body. Takeuchi confirmed that. Haruka just usually dress like male :")) Sailor Uranus first appearance in manga was in tuxedo too. 1:49:00 In manga, Hotaru's father was not that bad. Although he was a mad scientist, he really loved his daughter. When Hotaru was caught in a fire, he accepted the invitation of the darkness to make his daughter a vessel of Lady 90 to keep his daughter alive. Hotaru was fated to die, because there's no need for Sailor Saturn (Sailor Saturn's mission was to destroy everything). But because of her father action, not only "Sailor Saturn kept living", but also new enemy came to the earth. And Sailor Saturn woke up to destroy the enemy and herself, put everything back to their place. Just think like this, no Saturn, no enemy; yes Saturn, yes enemy. That story was about "karma". Saturn is the planet of karma. The manga portrayed this aspect better than anime. In anime 199x it's just a mainstream tragedy plot. (However anime had many scenes of other characters that's good too XD I love Neptune and Uranus scenes)

[@sardinhabianca]

I’m a Halloween 1985 Scorpio child with Sag rising, born in Rio, Brazil. Brazil has taken the largest migration of Japanese people after the second war, and they settled in the most populous state in Brazil called São Paulo. Up until today it remains the place with the largest Japanese community outside of Japan. Sailor Moon (along with Dragon Ball, another big hit filled with Japanese folklore and exoteric symbolisms) was my introduction to the Japanese phenomenon, and with 14 years old I was taking Japanese classes and 7hour bus rides alone, from Rio to São Paulo, to attend Anime Fairs. Cosplaying was the obvious next step. Being an abnormally tall Brazilian girl (at the time I already achieved my 5,11’ height), my very first cosplay was Makoto Kino, Sailor Jupiter. Shortly after, I was singing in Japanese with my teenage J-Rock band for surprisingly large crowds on these events, something that lasted a couple of years. This was before the smart phone era, and I hardly have any proof in pictures of this great momentum of my teenage years. Nowadays I’m a 38 years old multidisciplinary artist and Product Designer living in Bilbao, Spain, and this story, my story!, seems like a past life, something odd and beautiful buried in my memory. Thank you for bringing it all up Chris, I never thought I would elect a favorite episode from you, but this one brought tears of joy to my eyes, beginning to end. You’re my favorite storyteller on planet Earth. Big love and blessings to you my dear!

Just started watching this - but love it already! I am an astrologer and I loved Sailor Moon as a kid in the 90s. I was about 8 years old when the series first came on TV in the US. When I look back now, I always say that it was my first exposure to astrology. I learned the planetary symbols because of Sailor Moon! Returning to it as an adult, after learning astrology, is also interesting because you can see how clearly the creator used astrological archetypes. It is really a brilliant examination of the archetypes in action. And yes, it also incorporates a lot of eastern astrology as well, which is often overlooked by westerners looking at the show so I’m glad you also brought that in. I’ve thought a long time about making an article about this but never got around to it so it’s fun to see someone finally doing this in a deep way. Excited to hear your interpretation 😊

[@m00zs23]

@@christopherrenstromastro​​⁠ Just finished watching the video now, and I must say this was incredibly impressive. The attention to detail is awesome. You really show love for the series and you picked up on so many things I didn’t know or never considered. Black Lady as Black Moon Lilith, for example - I had never thought of that, and it makes total sense. You did a great job showing how deep the rabbit hole goes in terms of mythology references, and it made me wonder if the archetypal nature of the entire story is one of the reasons why it is so beloved and why it has had longevity. It taps into so many collective unconscious mythological memories. This manga is so rich that there’s even more fun/layered details beyond the huge amount you already mentioned here - like the villains in the first arc being named after different crystals (and curiously the fact that they are all “earthlings,” as you point out in this video, is a neat tie in to that), and in later arcs characters representing the asteroids and other star systems coming into play. I feel that the general plot also has a lot of metaphysical commentary. Takeuchi really knew her stuff and did something interesting that is much more than meets the eye. Apparently Neon Genesis Evangelion’s author was a big fan of Sailor Moon and you can see a similar approach to metaphysics as a storytelling device in that series as well. Anyway - great work. You really gave me a whole new level of appreciation for Sailor Moon and I was already a fan! I know this video will be enjoyed by many! Thank you!

At age 10 I checked out a Greek Mythology book and within weeks I’d also read every book our library provided on Astrology. I read everything everywhere that crossed my path. Pre-computers, I’d draw up charts using a compass and ruler and books. I had my first reading by 19, many since then, and am still living my life by the flow of the Celestial and Divine. I’m neurodivergent and it’s been one of my “obsessions”. I also give it credit as loose archetypes that helps me socially and to under the world.

I always thought the Sailor soldiers’ personalities have close resemblance to the archetypes of planets (except Pluto and Saturn, which seems to have been swapped) and their corresponding Sun signs. OK I haven’t watched this episode in full yet (it’s already too late where I am) but I’ve liked it and saved this to my playlist. Can’t wait to enjoy this!

[@christopherrenstromastro]

I'm so glad that the almighty algorithm sent you this too @lilymaywong5780! Sailor Moon certainly deserves a serious look but honestly I think Western Astrology has more to gain from Sailor Moon! I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching! 😊

[@Mike90317]

I learned about astrology, astronomy and mythology with Sailor Moon and Saint Seiya 💛💙❤️

Bravo Christopher! This presentation is an absolute gift and delight. Very inspirational. You are gifted at conveying your analysis poetically. You are entertaining to watch and incredibly informative. I never knew about Jupiter being connected to wood. I love how you share the reference images for the high fashion. You are above and beyond! Thank you!

[@christopherrenstromastro]

It delights me no end that you enjoyed the episode @katherinewood2940. And thanks for watching! 😊

[@paolad3207]

So lovely Christopher

[@SebastianJArt]

Great topic thank you🎉

[@OGLuckyBaozi]

Thank you for this walk down memory lane, SM got me into astrology and astronomy!❤ Seeing your enthusiasm over their call/transformation chant is so wonderful!

[@christopherrenstromastro]

I'm so happy that you enjoyed the walk down memory lane @OGLuckyBaozi. And how much do we ADORE that transformation call??? 😊

[@PrincessFarron]

What a brilliant analysis! Thank you for dedicating such an educational video to what is still one of my favorite animes ever. 🙏🌠🌙

[@christopherrenstromastro]

In many ways Sailor Moon is the equivalent of Linda Goodman's Sun Signs. Obviously they're two totally different mediums, but the impact that Takeuchi has had on Astrology is very similar. Thanks for watching @PrincessFarron. I really appreciate it! 😊

[@sallya2202]

You’re an awesome storyteller! And your excitement is adorable!

[@Andrematt]

this was AMAZING! i'd love to see you tackle Saint Seiya next!

[@christopherrenstromastro]

We're getting A LOT of requests for that one . . . 😊

[@Andrematt]

@@christopherrenstromastro I can't wait! 😁

[@theshopislocal]

This is such a great comprehensive video, and listening to you reminds me of teachers i really liked in school that were clearly excited about the material and felt joyful to explain about everything. Thank you!

[@onafielisil]

Thank you so much to visit one of my favorite works with so much heart and joy. The light of the moon shines through you and illuminates the world ☆🌙

[@christopherrenstromastro]

You are so sweet! Thank you for your kind and encouraging words @onafielisil. And thanks for watching! 😊

[@mimibadge]

This was wonderful! Loved every second of this, you're a wonderful storyteller! Subscribed immediatellyyyy. Thank you

[@lunabee7804]

My mom would talk about how she wanted Leo children ( my sister is 8/21, my due date was 8/17 - I was born 8/30 ) and one day on the boardwalk I put money into a game and it said to pick my sign and it would give me a fortune. I felt that it described me to a tea and from then when I’ve been obsessed, I was 10 years old. I absolutely love Sailor Moon and was crazy about it in high school and it still holds a special place in my heart. Ty so much! This is amazing.

[@christopherrenstromastro]

Thank you for sharing your first astrology memory @lunabee7804. Those moments of discovery are so special. I'm so delighted that you enjoyed the episode and thank you for being amazing. 😊

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wordless. My heart is full. Thank you for sharing your remarkable you.

[@christopherrenstromastro]

You're welcome @lyhost. And thank YOU for watching! 😊

[@neptunianlust]

I've been waiting for a video like this for Sailor Moon - thank you so much for giving life to it! I can see your passion and the hard work you put into this analysis. As a child, I was mesmerized by Sailor Saturn and now as an adult with understanding of astrology, I can see why, especially in accordance with my own natal chart. Thank you again ♡

[@christopherrenstromastro]

I'm so glad that you enjoyed the episode @neptunianlust. It's one that I've been wanting to do for a long time and I'm just so happy that you like it. I really wanted to do Sailor Moon justice! 😊

[@GravyGoodbread]

An amazing deep dive. Best I’ve watched in a while.

[@wendywanderluxe6965]

❤ I appreciate how much research and love you gave astrology and its representation in Sailor Moon. Great video!

[@christopherrenstromastro]

I'm so glad that you enjoyed it @wendywanderluxe6965. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@anamunitic1374]

I applaud you for even knowing what the Croatian flag looks like, I had to go back to check if I heard that right 😁 we're often very much forgotten, but yes, little Croats were following Usagi too! What a peculiar topic to be mentioned on 😁

[@christopherrenstromastro]

I"m SO glad that you caught that! I was wondering if anyone would notice @anamunitic! One of my dreams journeys is to visit Croatia one day. 😊

[@anamunitic1374]

You’re more than welcome 🌞 🇭🇷 go for the seaside, you won’t regret it 🪻

[@Sluppie]

Final Fantasy Tactics was the first time I had to actually think about astrology to any meaningful degree. In that game your characters have zodiac signs and you have to consider the "compatibility" of your troops with your enemy's signs in order to maximize your damage.

[@christopherrenstromastro]

Oh Wow!!! Really? I've never heard of that before. I'll have to check it out. 😊

[@BunnyRyanOder]

My first encounter was actually Sailor Moon when I was little and I’ve been obsessed ever since!

[@christopherrenstromastro]

It's a wonderful obsession to have, isn't it? 😊

[@CristinaFaee]

Hi Christopher! The video was so lovely and I enjoyed every minute of it! Could you possibly do a part 2 of it discussing the Starlights and Galaxia? Also I definitely am going to check out more of your videos!!💗💗💗

[@christopherrenstromastro]

Me and my IGLive cohost did a special Live Episode focusing on Sailor Moon Cosmos. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIi8d4GfetdopaM
