Welcome back to The Essential Astrocast.
00:00:13.934 --> 00:00:18.414
I am your host, Veronica Perretti, and
this is the podcast that you listen
00:00:18.414 --> 00:00:23.504
to when you want to know what's going
on up in the heavens so that you can
00:00:23.504 --> 00:00:26.964
dictate your fate down here on Earth.
00:00:28.354 --> 00:00:30.284
We are in it.
00:00:30.354 --> 00:00:35.964
We are in Barbeau's Basket, the Basket
of Hope, whatever you wanna call it.
00:00:36.524 --> 00:00:38.093
We are in the muck.
00:00:38.113 --> 00:00:43.364
We are in it, but we are
really moving things forward.
00:00:43.434 --> 00:00:50.214
And so much of what's happening right
now feels like it's out of our hands.
00:00:50.223 --> 00:00:51.583
It's out of our control.
00:00:52.504 --> 00:00:57.073
A lot of the time when we have Pluto
transits, when we have Pluto involved
00:00:57.074 --> 00:01:01.993
with what's going on in the sky, it
can feel like we don't have control.
00:01:02.403 --> 00:01:05.473
It can feel like we don't have a say.
00:01:06.563 --> 00:01:10.753
And of course, that's not true, 'cause
you know I always say you dictate
00:01:10.753 --> 00:01:13.353
your fate, that you have free will.
00:01:14.173 --> 00:01:17.844
The planets are neutral energy
that we are working with.
00:01:17.873 --> 00:01:22.833
We decide if we work with that energy
on a high vibration or a low vibration.
00:01:24.213 --> 00:01:31.893
But certainly, there are moments where
it feels like there is something bigger
00:01:31.893 --> 00:01:35.434
than you and you don't have control.
00:01:36.064 --> 00:01:39.283
And this is one of those moments
where you might feel that way
00:01:39.283 --> 00:01:40.873
because Pluto is involved.
00:01:40.934 --> 00:01:44.134
So we had a full moon this Wednesday.
00:01:44.994 --> 00:01:49.954
It was in the morning Eastern
Time, and it happened right as
00:01:50.004 --> 00:01:51.744
the sun was joining with Jupiter.
00:01:52.494 --> 00:01:56.344
So we had a lot of action this week,
but all of the action really took
00:01:56.364 --> 00:02:00.563
place Monday through Wednesday,
and we really felt it Wednesday.
00:02:00.603 --> 00:02:03.874
But frankly, we're feeling it all
the time right now because there's
00:02:03.874 --> 00:02:05.294
so much happening in the sky.
00:02:05.954 --> 00:02:12.363
And remember, as I said, when there
is a lot of energy in the sky, it can
00:02:12.974 --> 00:02:15.793
electrify you, or it can put you to sleep.
00:02:16.404 --> 00:02:21.574
And if you feel like you are needing
more rest, it is about to be August.
00:02:22.183 --> 00:02:25.354
Um, many of you know that I participate
in this group called KonMari
00:02:25.443 --> 00:02:27.634
Club, and August is rest month.
00:02:27.664 --> 00:02:33.513
And I got that email today, and I thought,
"Oh my goodness, I need rest month."
00:02:34.414 --> 00:02:42.523
So this is a time when the planets are
really active that you might be called
00:02:42.553 --> 00:02:45.934
to rest, and that is really helpful.
00:02:46.064 --> 00:02:53.474
Rest is helpful because it helps you
listen, and sometimes we need to step
00:02:53.474 --> 00:02:56.883
back and listen to the messages that we're
getting, and sometimes we're getting the
00:02:56.884 --> 00:02:59.303
messages, and we're not listening to them.
00:02:59.803 --> 00:03:03.414
So giving ourselves some space,
some mental clarity, some mental
00:03:03.414 --> 00:03:06.534
space, we can finally listen.
00:03:06.573 --> 00:03:11.464
And for me personally, I have
been going, going, like no rest.
00:03:12.264 --> 00:03:15.214
And I'm feeling sick.
00:03:15.214 --> 00:03:16.294
I'm starting to get sick now.
00:03:16.294 --> 00:03:19.764
And of course, my son, he's
three, these things happen.
00:03:19.764 --> 00:03:20.464
We get colds.
00:03:21.064 --> 00:03:23.764
But I was like, "Oh yeah,
it's about to be August.
00:03:23.774 --> 00:03:28.734
It's about to be rest month," and my
body is telling me, "It's time to rest.
00:03:29.184 --> 00:03:30.154
It's time to chill out.
00:03:30.554 --> 00:03:37.172
You can't keep going at this pace So
listen to the messages, listen to the
00:03:37.172 --> 00:03:41.562
messages to rest, and listen to the
messages that come up from the space
00:03:41.562 --> 00:03:43.372
that you create when you do rest.
00:03:43.942 --> 00:03:47.372
So with the full moon, we
had a full moon in Aquarius.
00:03:47.422 --> 00:03:51.262
So the sun was sitting
with Jupiter on Wednesday.
00:03:51.492 --> 00:03:54.912
Jupiter cazimi, that means that
Jupiter entered the heart of the sun.
00:03:55.492 --> 00:04:02.052
Cazimi is when the planet enters the heart
of the sun and experiences a purification.
00:04:02.052 --> 00:04:06.242
So we experience the purest
experience of that planet.
00:04:06.622 --> 00:04:08.692
Jupiter is the god of the gods.
00:04:08.712 --> 00:04:11.742
He is fertility, he is
abundance, he is blessings.
00:04:11.772 --> 00:04:13.262
He's also excess.
00:04:13.792 --> 00:04:18.052
So you might have experienced
excess in various ways this week.
00:04:18.382 --> 00:04:23.902
You might have experienced blessings and
abundance in various ways, maybe in ways
00:04:23.902 --> 00:04:26.842
that you didn't even know were blessings.
00:04:27.402 --> 00:04:32.852
Because the sun and Jupiter are
sitting opposite the moon and Pluto.
00:04:32.852 --> 00:04:36.192
So a full moon occurs when the moon
is exactly opposite the sun, and
00:04:36.192 --> 00:04:42.222
therefore the entire face of the moon
is illuminated by the sun's light.
00:04:42.892 --> 00:04:46.212
So when we have a full moon,
we reach an apex of something.
00:04:46.212 --> 00:04:50.662
We reach a moment of fullness,
and from that fullness, we can
00:04:50.662 --> 00:04:52.982
celebrate, we can express gratitude.
00:04:53.602 --> 00:04:57.612
And after the full moon, we enter
a phase of waning, of letting go.
00:04:58.622 --> 00:05:04.122
This full moon really introduced a time
of shedding, and I mean that on the
00:05:04.122 --> 00:05:10.232
most spiritual of levels, because there
are so many things happening in the
00:05:10.242 --> 00:05:16.612
sky right now that are really calling
for a massive spiritual rewiring.
00:05:17.012 --> 00:05:21.542
Our nervous systems our being, our
collective nervous system, our collective
00:05:21.542 --> 00:05:25.222
consciousness is being rewired right now.
00:05:25.612 --> 00:05:31.462
We are going through once in a lifetime,
once in many lifetimes astrology.
00:05:31.832 --> 00:05:37.762
We are living through the downfall of
the empire that most of us listening
00:05:37.762 --> 00:05:39.892
to this podcast are living in.
00:05:40.302 --> 00:05:47.302
We are living through harrowing times
that are not unlike 1930s Germany.
00:05:47.932 --> 00:05:51.922
And if you don't realize that, if
you're not paying attention to that-
00:05:54.008 --> 00:05:55.518
Uh, you know, it's time to wake up.
00:05:55.768 --> 00:05:59.978
We are being called to wake up on the
most fundamental levels, on the level
00:05:59.978 --> 00:06:05.048
of being a human being, on the level of
being a spiritual being in a human body.
00:06:05.998 --> 00:06:15.338
So I have felt this year my heart kind
of crack open on the collective level
00:06:15.478 --> 00:06:22.538
to my experience of being a human
being, to the empathy and compassion
00:06:22.538 --> 00:06:23.908
I have for other human beings.
00:06:23.928 --> 00:06:30.128
I don't know if that's just because I'm
a mom now, and there's a certain empathy
00:06:30.128 --> 00:06:35.738
that comes with that, that you just
⦠every child becomes your child, or you
00:06:35.738 --> 00:06:38.328
see, you see your child in every child.
00:06:38.358 --> 00:06:39.688
I mean, that's how I feel.
00:06:40.398 --> 00:06:46.868
But what is happening is cracking us
all open, and we have to allow it,
00:06:47.088 --> 00:06:49.188
because that is where we will grow.
00:06:50.888 --> 00:06:53.548
So this basket, it's intense.
00:06:53.628 --> 00:06:56.058
It is bringing up everything.
00:06:56.668 --> 00:07:00.978
And as I explained last week, we have
these outer planets all talking to one
00:07:00.978 --> 00:07:03.258
another, creating this basket formation.
00:07:03.778 --> 00:07:05.078
It's very unusual.
00:07:05.088 --> 00:07:06.808
So unusual, we've never seen it.
00:07:07.278 --> 00:07:08.238
No one's seen it.
00:07:08.308 --> 00:07:11.768
We've never seen this exact
formation of the planets.
00:07:12.508 --> 00:07:16.578
And the outer planets ask us
to transcend what is mundane.
00:07:16.648 --> 00:07:20.178
The outer planets, Uranus,
Neptune, and Pluto, we can't
00:07:20.178 --> 00:07:21.348
see them with the naked eye.
00:07:21.368 --> 00:07:23.348
We need a telescope to see them.
00:07:23.608 --> 00:07:27.278
They ask us to believe that there
is something else out there that we
00:07:27.278 --> 00:07:30.158
can't see, but trust that it is real.
00:07:30.708 --> 00:07:36.138
They ask us to understand that there
is something bigger connecting us all.
00:07:36.818 --> 00:07:41.438
And so having all these planets
working together in this way, for me
00:07:41.448 --> 00:07:47.328
personally, as someone who comes from,
the school of yoga, it's how can I
00:07:47.328 --> 00:07:54.718
not see that as the universe asking us
to fundamentally understand and feel
00:07:54.718 --> 00:07:56.748
that we are connected to one another?
00:07:58.376 --> 00:08:00.506
On a collective conscious level, right?
00:08:00.686 --> 00:08:03.986
So that is what's happening underneath it.
00:08:03.986 --> 00:08:07.006
And then on the surface, you're
going through your life and you're
00:08:07.006 --> 00:08:09.086
like, "Hey, I gotta pack lunch.
00:08:09.086 --> 00:08:10.296
Hey, I gotta get to work.
00:08:10.296 --> 00:08:11.656
Hey, I gotta get cash out.
00:08:12.186 --> 00:08:13.466
Hey, I gotta make dinner."
00:08:13.886 --> 00:08:16.956
All of those things are happening
while underneath you are being
00:08:16.956 --> 00:08:19.066
spiritually completely rewired.
00:08:19.136 --> 00:08:21.026
And so that is heavy stuff.
00:08:21.306 --> 00:08:24.706
And this full moon is like,
hey, this is heavy stuff.
00:08:25.026 --> 00:08:27.096
It is illuminating the heavy stuff.
00:08:27.126 --> 00:08:32.256
It's illuminating what has to be
released and shed so that we can
00:08:32.256 --> 00:08:37.046
step into this new spiritual being
that we are becoming collectively.
00:08:37.676 --> 00:08:44.226
So this full moon, the sun sat with
Jupiter, which is often considered the
00:08:44.226 --> 00:08:46.646
luckiest day of the year in astrology.
00:08:46.646 --> 00:08:48.146
A lot of astrologers say that.
00:08:48.646 --> 00:08:51.336
And then opposite the
moon sitting with Pluto.
00:08:51.556 --> 00:08:54.566
Now, Pluto rules everything
that is underneath the surface.
00:08:54.576 --> 00:09:01.036
He rules the resources, the gems,
the gems, the diamonds, the, the,
00:09:01.106 --> 00:09:07.276
the rare earth materials that power
our phones and our electric cars.
00:09:07.276 --> 00:09:09.056
They all come from deep in the earth.
00:09:09.086 --> 00:09:13.016
The oil that we use for energy comes
from deep in the earth, although
00:09:13.016 --> 00:09:14.896
often oil is associated with Neptune.
00:09:15.266 --> 00:09:19.996
But with that said, there are, the
resources in the earth are Plutonian.
00:09:20.516 --> 00:09:26.446
And those resources, those resources,
when they are brought to the surface
00:09:26.486 --> 00:09:29.956
and they are scrubbed, you know, you
get that you put the diamond under
00:09:29.956 --> 00:09:32.146
pressure, and then it is beautiful.
00:09:32.916 --> 00:09:37.406
Pluto puts us through the wringer so
that we can experience that beauty.
00:09:38.376 --> 00:09:41.266
And this full moon was like,
okay, this is what's going
00:09:41.266 --> 00:09:42.506
through the wringer right now.
00:09:42.516 --> 00:09:47.026
This is what's being wrung out in
the wash so that you can experience
00:09:47.026 --> 00:09:52.166
the beauty that's up ahead And so you
might have seen some things illuminated
00:09:52.176 --> 00:09:58.256
this week that were tough to look at
because Pluto was sitting with the moon.
00:09:58.666 --> 00:10:02.706
So the thing that was being illuminated
was the, the moon, and therefore Pluto
00:10:02.706 --> 00:10:05.496
was being illuminated by that light.
00:10:06.256 --> 00:10:08.346
And Pluto is in Aquarius.
00:10:08.546 --> 00:10:12.586
Many of you have heard me talk about
this for years upon years, and you're
00:10:12.586 --> 00:10:15.266
bored of hearing it, but I'll say
it for those of you that are new.
00:10:15.266 --> 00:10:15.996
Welcome.
00:10:16.526 --> 00:10:19.556
We are in the midst of the Pluto
return of the United States of America.
00:10:20.526 --> 00:10:25.756
Every 250-ish years, we get
Pluto back to where he was.
00:10:26.256 --> 00:10:28.336
And so countries have charts.
00:10:28.346 --> 00:10:29.536
Cities have charts.
00:10:29.646 --> 00:10:30.836
Everything has a chart.
00:10:31.266 --> 00:10:35.716
So the chart of the United States
of America, July 4th, 1776, we
00:10:35.716 --> 00:10:37.806
have Pluto at 27 degrees Capricorn.
00:10:38.426 --> 00:10:44.646
We came back to that spot in 2022, but
the Revolutionary War wasn't over until
00:10:44.646 --> 00:10:47.326
Pluto was at eight degrees of Aquarius.
00:10:47.416 --> 00:10:48.826
And guess where Pluto is now?
00:10:48.826 --> 00:10:51.246
He's at four degrees of Aquarius.
00:10:51.736 --> 00:10:53.556
So we are still in it.
00:10:53.606 --> 00:10:55.486
We are still in this moment.
00:10:55.496 --> 00:10:58.326
We are in our second revolution of sorts.
00:10:58.716 --> 00:11:04.686
There is a very revolutionary feel of what
is going on in this country right now.
00:11:05.106 --> 00:11:07.456
People are worried that
this is gonna be civil war.
00:11:07.456 --> 00:11:09.976
No, this is the
Revolutionary War part two.
00:11:10.336 --> 00:11:14.936
Everything we're seeing right now
lines up so clearly with the things
00:11:14.936 --> 00:11:17.066
that we were seeing 250 years ago.
00:11:17.506 --> 00:11:21.796
So amidst all of that going on,
you're living your life, and you're
00:11:21.806 --> 00:11:23.636
having your own personal revolution.
00:11:23.706 --> 00:11:27.196
And the sun joining with Jupiter
was like, here are your blessings.
00:11:27.216 --> 00:11:30.886
Here are all these amazing
things that are available to you.
00:11:31.186 --> 00:11:35.236
Sitting opposite Pluto, and Pluto is
saying, "Oh, here's some dark stuff.
00:11:35.246 --> 00:11:38.606
Here's some stuff underneath the
surface that's useful to you.
00:11:38.986 --> 00:11:42.546
How are you gonna excavate it and
clean it up so that you can use it?"
00:11:43.966 --> 00:11:50.116
So secondly, the full moon is illuminating
a much bigger cycle that I think is
00:11:50.116 --> 00:11:58.186
super interesting, which is that back
in 2020, Jupiter and Pluto got together.
00:11:58.466 --> 00:12:02.096
So you may remember, if you've
been with me for a while, that
00:12:02.436 --> 00:12:08.006
COVID was totally lined up with the
Saturn-Pluto conjunction of 2020.
00:12:09.506 --> 00:12:10.726
That was in January.
00:12:10.996 --> 00:12:13.836
That was when COVID was named,
the day that they joined together.
00:12:13.936 --> 00:12:20.016
And then a couple months later in March,
we had Jupiter and Mars join Saturn
00:12:20.026 --> 00:12:26.676
and Pluto, and they were all conjoined
at 22 degrees of Pl- of Capricorn.
00:12:27.206 --> 00:12:30.156
And that was the expansion of COVID.
00:12:30.176 --> 00:12:31.586
That was the shutdown.
00:12:31.646 --> 00:12:39.304
Everything, the whole world changed
mid-March 2020 So Jupiter and Pluto
00:12:39.304 --> 00:12:40.734
were joined together at that time.
00:12:40.744 --> 00:12:45.204
They had three conjunctions that
year, and every time Jupiter and Pluto
00:12:45.204 --> 00:12:50.554
came together, I was besides myself
because we were living in New York
00:12:50.554 --> 00:12:52.384
City, and we were in a high-rise.
00:12:53.064 --> 00:12:57.634
And two-thirds of my building
left the city, and we stayed,
00:12:57.664 --> 00:12:58.714
and guess what happened?
00:12:58.714 --> 00:13:02.914
People were not running their
water, and then the water bugs,
00:13:02.944 --> 00:13:06.444
AKA cockroaches of New York City,
were coming up the water pipes.
00:13:06.954 --> 00:13:11.784
And I swear to God, every time a
Jupiter-Pluto conjunction happens, we
00:13:11.854 --> 00:13:15.164
saw water bugs, and I flipped the F out.
00:13:15.634 --> 00:13:18.154
So guess what?
00:13:18.324 --> 00:13:22.304
That Jupiter-Pluto, it brought
what was below the surface up to
00:13:22.304 --> 00:13:24.034
the surface, and I didn't like it.
00:13:24.034 --> 00:13:24.894
But you know what?
00:13:24.904 --> 00:13:25.944
My husband willâ¦
00:13:25.974 --> 00:13:27.234
i'm embarrassed to say this.
00:13:27.244 --> 00:13:30.444
My husband reminds me
of it every year or so.
00:13:31.134 --> 00:13:33.574
That was the impetus for
us leaving New York City.
00:13:33.854 --> 00:13:35.164
I mean, there were other impetuses.
00:13:35.174 --> 00:13:38.464
We didn't need to be in New York
City anymore because of work
00:13:38.464 --> 00:13:40.464
responsibilities were no longer there.
00:13:41.044 --> 00:13:44.504
But I was like, "I don't
wanna live here anymore."
00:13:45.644 --> 00:13:46.964
Get me to the suburbs.
00:13:48.364 --> 00:13:51.874
So we decided to put that in motion.
00:13:51.884 --> 00:13:55.724
In August of 2020, we put down the
money on the house that we live in now.
00:13:56.104 --> 00:14:00.064
So what are the seeds
that you planted in 2020?
00:14:00.074 --> 00:14:05.214
What are the seeds you planted when
Jupiter and Pluto joined together in
00:14:05.424 --> 00:14:08.824
March of 2020, but then subsequently
three more times that year?
00:14:09.184 --> 00:14:11.564
There were lots of things
that you were planting.
00:14:11.574 --> 00:14:15.374
There were lots of blessings
that came out of that time.
00:14:15.374 --> 00:14:15.964
We know that.
00:14:15.994 --> 00:14:20.684
There was lots of ugliness and terrible
things that came out of that time.
00:14:21.934 --> 00:14:27.554
But amidst the illumination of the
darkness, there was also a lot of light.
00:14:28.084 --> 00:14:30.684
So think about the seeds that you planted.
00:14:30.694 --> 00:14:33.844
Things, think about the things
that you started at that time.
00:14:34.214 --> 00:14:35.554
What was going on in your life?
00:14:35.554 --> 00:14:40.324
You can go back to your camera roll in
your phone, or go look at your calendar.
00:14:40.824 --> 00:14:42.644
Think back to what you were working on.
00:14:42.644 --> 00:14:44.214
What did your family look like?
00:14:44.214 --> 00:14:45.644
Who were you dating?
00:14:45.984 --> 00:14:47.284
Who were you friends with?
00:14:47.284 --> 00:14:48.654
Who were you talking to?
00:14:48.664 --> 00:14:50.924
Who did you spend quarantine with?
00:14:51.434 --> 00:14:55.404
Think about all of those things
and what you were wanting
00:14:55.634 --> 00:14:57.174
for your life at that time.
00:14:58.434 --> 00:15:05.196
And Then look at where you've been
and how far you've come since 2020.
00:15:05.826 --> 00:15:08.686
Because that was, almost
seven years ago now.
00:15:09.136 --> 00:15:14.996
And now we have the full moon
of sorts, the opposition.
00:15:15.956 --> 00:15:17.776
The new moon is like the conjunction.
00:15:17.816 --> 00:15:19.496
The full moon is the opposition.
00:15:20.386 --> 00:15:24.516
So we have the full moon, of
sorts, with Jupiter opposite Pluto.
00:15:24.566 --> 00:15:29.836
At the same time, the literal full moon,
the full moon in Aquarius opposite the
00:15:29.836 --> 00:15:32.866
sun in Leo, illuminated those two planets.
00:15:33.346 --> 00:15:40.646
So we are having a, I don't wanna
say full circle moment, 'cause it's
00:15:40.646 --> 00:15:45.706
not a full circle moment, it's 180
degree moment, because it is Pluto
00:15:45.736 --> 00:15:51.146
180 degrees from Jupiter, and it's
the moon illuminating Pluto 180
00:15:51.146 --> 00:15:53.896
degrees from the sun conjunct Jupiter.
00:15:54.416 --> 00:15:59.586
So think about that, and as you look
back on this week, and as we look
00:15:59.586 --> 00:16:08.356
forward, this is an incredibly potent
time for shedding the old stuff, but
00:16:08.386 --> 00:16:13.466
also reflecting on all of that stuff
you wanted and all of the stuff that
00:16:13.476 --> 00:16:16.066
you've received in these seven years.
00:16:17.046 --> 00:16:20.146
And where do you go from here?
00:16:20.496 --> 00:16:22.086
What's the next right step?
00:16:22.216 --> 00:16:26.336
Maybe you don't see the whole
staircase, but you see the next
00:16:26.366 --> 00:16:31.576
right step, and that will carry you
to the following next right step.
00:16:32.086 --> 00:16:36.446
And we have to trust that there's
something bigger than us that's connecting
00:16:36.446 --> 00:16:41.156
all of us together, that's allowing
us to be part of that transcendence
00:16:41.156 --> 00:16:47.826
that the outer planets are trying to
help us see and feel right now with
00:16:47.826 --> 00:16:50.136
this basket of what I'm calling hope.
00:16:50.826 --> 00:16:55.366
So okay, the full moon in
Aquarius, we had that on Wednesday.
00:16:56.556 --> 00:17:00.786
It asked you what needs to be discarded,
where does space need to be made.
00:17:01.466 --> 00:17:05.736
From that place of fullness,
what can we create?
00:17:11.350 --> 00:17:17.370
So this full moon opened up something
else, not just all that stuff.
00:17:17.780 --> 00:17:21.210
It also opened up eclipse season.
00:17:22.390 --> 00:17:28.540
So with eclipse season, it is always
opened by the lunation before the eclipse.
00:17:28.580 --> 00:17:30.500
So this full moon was a regular full moon.
00:17:31.580 --> 00:17:36.370
The next lunation, the new
moon, will be a solar eclipse.
00:17:36.370 --> 00:17:38.030
That will be August 12th.
00:17:38.530 --> 00:17:41.370
So we are officially in eclipse season.
00:17:41.690 --> 00:17:47.350
Eclipse season generally
feels like time is malleable.
00:17:47.550 --> 00:17:54.134
It goes fast or it goes slow or
Things just speed up or they slow
00:17:54.134 --> 00:17:56.604
down or they do both at the same time.
00:17:56.614 --> 00:18:01.024
I always say eclipse season feels
like we enter a vortex of energy.
00:18:01.754 --> 00:18:05.754
And as I said earlier, there are
a couple of things in astrology
00:18:05.754 --> 00:18:08.304
where we really don't have control.
00:18:08.664 --> 00:18:11.844
You know my main thing is you have
free will, you dictate your fate.
00:18:11.854 --> 00:18:12.904
That's my motto.
00:18:13.764 --> 00:18:18.554
But there are a couple of places in
astrology where there are forces larger
00:18:18.554 --> 00:18:22.184
than us at play, and that is when we
are working with Pluto, and that is
00:18:22.184 --> 00:18:23.544
when we are working with the nodes.
00:18:24.594 --> 00:18:28.794
The nodes of fate just
switch signs on Sunday.
00:18:28.924 --> 00:18:34.994
So every year and a half, the nodes
of fate move signs, and that means
00:18:34.994 --> 00:18:37.994
the eclipses will happen in new signs.
00:18:38.534 --> 00:18:42.264
So an eclipse is a new moon or a
full moon that occurs near the nodes.
00:18:42.514 --> 00:18:44.704
Now, the nodes are the places in the sky.
00:18:44.714 --> 00:18:49.644
They're points in the sky where the
path of the sun around the Earth, the
00:18:49.644 --> 00:18:52.504
apparent path of the sun around the
Earth, 'cause of course we know that
00:18:52.504 --> 00:18:55.904
the Earth is going around the sun, but
that's what it appears to us, that the
00:18:55.904 --> 00:19:01.094
sun is moving around us, and the path of
the moon, where they cross one another.
00:19:01.504 --> 00:19:04.464
Those two points in the sky
are where the nodes sit.
00:19:04.994 --> 00:19:09.394
And so when we have a lunation
near the nodes, we have an eclipse.
00:19:09.444 --> 00:19:12.904
We- that means that the Earth,
the sun, and the moon line up
00:19:12.914 --> 00:19:18.264
in a way that the light of one
of our luminaries is eclipsed.
00:19:18.274 --> 00:19:19.104
It's obscured.
00:19:19.354 --> 00:19:22.764
Now, it might not be obscured exactly
where you sit on the planet, but it is
00:19:22.764 --> 00:19:28.754
obscured somewhere on the planet, and
we feel that even if we can't see it.
00:19:29.254 --> 00:19:31.834
So August 12th, we will
have a solar eclipse.
00:19:32.854 --> 00:19:37.924
So this lunation, this full moon in
Aquarius, opened up, uh, the eclipse
00:19:37.944 --> 00:19:41.214
portal, the eclipse vortex, the
eclipse season, whatever you wanna
00:19:41.214 --> 00:19:47.674
call it, with this simultaneously
heavy but abundant lunation that we
00:19:47.674 --> 00:19:50.934
just had that really keyed us intoâ¦
00:19:51.174 --> 00:19:53.464
It, like, kinda unlocked the basket.
00:19:53.484 --> 00:19:57.434
It sort of, like, keyed us into
that energy at the same time
00:19:57.434 --> 00:19:58.824
that it opened eclipse season.
00:19:59.284 --> 00:20:06.794
So I really do feel like the astrology
of July was a marker in time that we
00:20:06.794 --> 00:20:12.034
stepped over the threshold into a new
era, a new period of time, which is
00:20:12.034 --> 00:20:16.454
exactly what André Barbault was saying,
the French astrologer who died in Tr-
00:20:16.604 --> 00:20:23.124
2019, who is the person who predicted
the Barbault Basket, which is what
00:20:23.124 --> 00:20:28.046
we're all talking about these days So
I like to think about the basket as
00:20:28.046 --> 00:20:30.946
something that holds something, right?
00:20:31.246 --> 00:20:35.476
And this eclipse season is probably
going to help us see what we're
00:20:35.476 --> 00:20:37.216
meant to be putting in that basket.
00:20:37.626 --> 00:20:40.226
And some of those things might
have been illuminated this week.
00:20:40.286 --> 00:20:43.036
You might have to take some things out
so that you have space for something
00:20:43.036 --> 00:20:45.046
else because the basket is only so large.
00:20:45.296 --> 00:20:50.486
You can only carry what you can carry,
if you've been training your spiritual
00:20:50.486 --> 00:20:56.436
muscles, if you've been training and you
can carry, a lot of stuff, then great.
00:20:56.636 --> 00:20:57.666
But some of us haven't.
00:20:57.686 --> 00:21:00.496
Some of us don't have the
bandwidth to carry a lot of stuff.
00:21:00.796 --> 00:21:02.836
So be honest with yourself.
00:21:02.856 --> 00:21:04.636
How much can you carry?
00:21:04.956 --> 00:21:10.156
What do you wanna bring with you as we
cross this threshold into this new era?
00:21:10.666 --> 00:21:15.896
So now we're officially in eclipse season,
and the nodes are in Leo and Aquarius.
00:21:15.896 --> 00:21:16.786
So what does that mean?
00:21:16.796 --> 00:21:19.886
The north node is in the sign of Aquarius.
00:21:20.266 --> 00:21:25.376
Aquarius is associated with community
and our friendships, our groups,
00:21:25.886 --> 00:21:29.686
the places where we feel a sense
of belonging and we share values.
00:21:30.996 --> 00:21:35.896
Aquarius is also the sign of the rebel,
the revolution, the revolutionary,
00:21:35.896 --> 00:21:38.466
the humanitarian, the social activist.
00:21:38.466 --> 00:21:43.516
All of those things are very
much up on the boards right now.
00:21:44.136 --> 00:21:48.096
The south node is in Leo.
00:21:48.546 --> 00:21:52.966
And Leo sits opposite Aquarius 'cause
the nodes are always exactly opposite
00:21:52.966 --> 00:21:55.166
one another, just like a seesaw.
00:21:55.166 --> 00:21:57.866
When one moves, the other moves
in the opposite direction.
00:21:58.276 --> 00:22:03.836
The south node is in the sign of
Leo where the sun is right now.
00:22:03.846 --> 00:22:05.506
The sun and Jupiter are in Leo.
00:22:06.416 --> 00:22:09.516
And we just had that conjunction,
right, which is one of the luckiest
00:22:09.516 --> 00:22:11.566
days of the year, many astrologers say.
00:22:12.126 --> 00:22:18.176
So Leo is really getting a lot of action
right now, and that makes us sit back
00:22:18.176 --> 00:22:19.926
and say, "Okay, the sun is in Leo.
00:22:19.926 --> 00:22:23.966
The sun is in its domicile, where
it belongs, where it is at home."
00:22:25.136 --> 00:22:27.726
The sun in Leo is about
our sense of identity.
00:22:27.976 --> 00:22:28.896
Who are we?
00:22:29.286 --> 00:22:36.246
Our will, our ability to exert our free
will, and then I'm telling you that so
00:22:36.246 --> 00:22:37.836
much is out of our control right now.
00:22:38.206 --> 00:22:42.116
So there's really a paradox at play
with this full moon that is bringing
00:22:42.126 --> 00:22:44.136
all of this to light right now.
00:22:44.676 --> 00:22:49.776
But we have this opportunity to step
forward over this threshold, out of July,
00:22:49.786 --> 00:22:57.046
and into this next era of astrology free
of whatever is going to keep us from
00:22:57.046 --> 00:23:01.796
growing and evolving because this is a
time of massive growth and evolution.
00:23:03.766 --> 00:23:08.526
Um, the south node in Leo, that's the
place of creative self-expression,
00:23:09.426 --> 00:23:16.626
of joy, of validation, of allowing
yourself to be seen and visible.
00:23:16.656 --> 00:23:19.346
And so don't take this to mean
that you're not meant to be seen.
00:23:21.346 --> 00:23:23.265
The nodes are working
on a collective level.
00:23:24.646 --> 00:23:28.086
You have to see where this is activating
your personal chart to see what the
00:23:28.146 --> 00:23:30.126
exact personal message is for you.
00:23:30.546 --> 00:23:37.156
But collectively, we are releasing our
reliance, or might I say addiction,
00:23:37.386 --> 00:23:40.016
to individual self-expression.
00:23:40.086 --> 00:23:46.006
What I wanna be seen for, what is
good for me, what I wanna be validated
00:23:46.046 --> 00:23:51.796
for as an individual, and moving
toward and embracing our role as
00:23:51.826 --> 00:23:53.865
part of collective consciousness.
00:23:55.806 --> 00:24:01.826
Moving toward that being
seen, that being appreciated.
00:24:01.946 --> 00:24:07.086
All of us as humanity working
together, being collectively
00:24:07.306 --> 00:24:10.566
validated, seen, and valued.
00:24:11.986 --> 00:24:15.306
So it's perfect timing because
we've got the basket of hope
00:24:15.646 --> 00:24:17.566
rewiring us on a spiritual level.
00:24:18.646 --> 00:24:21.026
And we also have Saturn in Aries.
00:24:21.286 --> 00:24:24.986
And we haven't talked about him in a
minute, but he did retrograde last week.
00:24:25.066 --> 00:24:26.126
I think I mentioned that.
00:24:26.616 --> 00:24:32.686
On Sunday, we had, Sunday the 26th of
July, we had Saturn retrograde, and we
00:24:32.746 --> 00:24:36.266
had the nodes enter Leo and Aquarius.
00:24:36.886 --> 00:24:43.946
So with Saturn retrograde, it brought
up or brought our attention to where
00:24:45.126 --> 00:24:46.646
we have a sense of responsibility.
00:24:47.576 --> 00:24:53.086
And maybe this week with the full
moon, your responsibilities were
00:24:53.166 --> 00:24:57.246
really in your face and illuminated
because of that Saturn retrograde.
00:24:59.466 --> 00:25:00.966
Saturn being retrograde is not a big deal.
00:25:01.006 --> 00:25:02.166
It's not like Mercury retrograde.
00:25:02.206 --> 00:25:03.745
It's a very different energy.
00:25:03.806 --> 00:25:07.346
The outer planets, you know,
Saturn on out, they spend a lot
00:25:07.386 --> 00:25:08.906
of months retrograde every year.
00:25:10.266 --> 00:25:16.335
So it's not serious on that level, but
it does give us a moment to review and
00:25:16.866 --> 00:25:22.026
just, especially while it is stationing,
so really this last week, to review what
00:25:22.046 --> 00:25:24.746
responsibilities do I want to take on.
00:25:25.166 --> 00:25:26.506
What do I want to take care of?
00:25:26.546 --> 00:25:28.126
What do I have to take care of?
00:25:29.206 --> 00:25:36.246
Um, Saturn in Aries is a three-year
story, and Saturn in Aries is really
00:25:36.306 --> 00:25:40.866
teaching us about resilience, really
teaching us about going through the
00:25:40.906 --> 00:25:43.586
hard thing and doing the hard thing.
00:25:43.666 --> 00:25:46.186
Like as Glennon Doyle says,
we can do hard things.
00:25:46.286 --> 00:25:47.186
I think it's Glennon Doyle.
00:25:48.096 --> 00:25:53.235
We can do hard things is, like,
the motto of Saturn in Aries.
00:25:53.746 --> 00:25:57.486
So that's where we are with
Saturn in Aries, but it's also
00:26:00.776 --> 00:26:08.296
An energy that is helping us get
real about the toxic individualism
00:26:08.306 --> 00:26:11.486
in our society, because Aries
is the ultimate individual.
00:26:12.066 --> 00:26:17.176
And speaking as an Aries, I can say,
sometimes we can forget about the
00:26:17.176 --> 00:26:18.996
other people in the room a little bit.
00:26:19.176 --> 00:26:21.836
Not all of us, but some
of us and at times.
00:26:22.446 --> 00:26:24.746
Every sign has its shadow side, right?
00:26:25.286 --> 00:26:32.476
So Aries can be head down, go forward,
doesn't matter what anybody else is doing.
00:26:33.256 --> 00:26:34.846
That can be the energy of Aries.
00:26:35.126 --> 00:26:37.236
Saturn in Aries is
telling us to slow down.
00:26:37.716 --> 00:26:38.516
Slow down.
00:26:39.466 --> 00:26:40.946
What are your responsibilities?
00:26:42.426 --> 00:26:44.876
We can't only be looking
out for ourselves.
00:26:45.756 --> 00:26:51.066
So this south node in Leo comes at the
perfect time to work with that Saturn
00:26:51.066 --> 00:27:00.236
in Aries and help us hopefully get out
of this cycle of toxic individualism.
00:27:00.246 --> 00:27:03.895
How do we have community
care, collective care?
00:27:03.926 --> 00:27:05.576
How do we take care of one another?
00:27:06.046 --> 00:27:09.936
And know that when we take care of one
another, we're all taken better care of.
00:27:10.906 --> 00:27:13.425
So that is what I have for you today.
00:27:13.536 --> 00:27:16.025
I hope it's helpful.
00:27:16.066 --> 00:27:20.036
A couple of things to note is that
we are having these long void moons.
00:27:20.036 --> 00:27:21.496
I mentioned it last time.
00:27:22.156 --> 00:27:24.315
Those are days where things move slower.
00:27:24.366 --> 00:27:28.635
Really good for meditating, really
good for sitting back, really good
00:27:28.635 --> 00:27:32.806
for doing mundane work that you don't
really want anything to come of.
00:27:32.826 --> 00:27:34.356
Not great for launching.
00:27:34.885 --> 00:27:38.556
We've got a couple-- We had one on
Tuesday, and we're gonna have a long void
00:27:38.556 --> 00:27:41.915
on Sunday, which a long void on Sunday
is a great day to have a long void.
00:27:41.915 --> 00:27:45.065
Sit back, relax, and take it easy.
00:27:45.465 --> 00:27:49.215
Next week on Monday, we have
Chiron station to retrograde.
00:27:50.405 --> 00:27:54.055
Chiron is a dwarf planet, asteroid,
whatever you wanna call him.
00:27:54.065 --> 00:27:54.865
He's far out.
00:27:55.505 --> 00:28:04.355
Not a huge deal, but it does bring more of
our awareness to that core wound within.
00:28:04.585 --> 00:28:10.235
And as I said, with this full moon
illuminating Pluto, what is buried deep
00:28:10.235 --> 00:28:12.795
underneath might be rising to the surface.
00:28:13.435 --> 00:28:18.025
So Chiron retrograde, certainly
going to make that even more evident.
00:28:18.266 --> 00:28:20.695
So pay attention to what's coming up.
00:28:20.766 --> 00:28:22.185
Notice what's going on.
00:28:22.225 --> 00:28:23.655
Notice who's in your path.
00:28:23.685 --> 00:28:25.755
Notice what opportunities are cropping up.
00:28:26.255 --> 00:28:28.185
Notice what you're seeing in your feed.
00:28:28.516 --> 00:28:29.096
And
00:28:31.327 --> 00:28:34.727
Just pay attention because eclipse
season is about paying attention.
00:28:34.737 --> 00:28:35.917
It's about listening.
00:28:36.037 --> 00:28:37.627
It's not about manifesting.
00:28:37.947 --> 00:28:39.617
It's not about doing the ritual.
00:28:39.887 --> 00:28:42.007
It's not about pushing something forward.
00:28:42.467 --> 00:28:46.047
It's about paying
attention to what is there.
00:28:47.037 --> 00:28:52.777
And I promise this eclipse season,
it's definitely going to speed
00:28:52.837 --> 00:28:55.677
up whatever is already happening.
00:28:56.177 --> 00:29:03.897
So you won't have to do too much to
see where the energy is directing you.
00:29:04.307 --> 00:29:04.457
Okay?
00:29:05.217 --> 00:29:07.077
I will talk to you next week.
00:29:07.077 --> 00:29:11.387
Take care of yourself and make sure

And that's all I got.
00:29:31.567 --> 00:29:34.097
I hope you're doing well,
and take care of yourself.
00:29:34.097 --> 00:29:38.237
Take deep breaths, and remember,
August is the month for rest.
00:29:39.177 --> 00:29:40.047
All right, bye.

Welcome back to The Essential Astrocast.
00:00:13.934 --> 00:00:18.414
I am your host, Veronica Perretti, and
this is the podcast that you listen
00:00:18.414 --> 00:00:23.504
to when you want to know what's going
on up in the heavens so that you can
00:00:23.504 --> 00:00:26.964
dictate your fate down here on Earth.
00:00:28.354 --> 00:00:30.284
We are in it.
00:00:30.354 --> 00:00:35.964
We are in Barbeau's Basket, the Basket
of Hope, whatever you wanna call it.
00:00:36.524 --> 00:00:38.093
We are in the muck.
00:00:38.113 --> 00:00:43.364
We are in it, but we are
really moving things forward.
00:00:43.434 --> 00:00:50.214
And so much of what's happening right
now feels like it's out of our hands.
00:00:50.223 --> 00:00:51.583
It's out of our control.
00:00:52.504 --> 00:00:57.073
A lot of the time when we have Pluto
transits, when we have Pluto involved
00:00:57.074 --> 00:01:01.993
with what's going on in the sky, it
can feel like we don't have control.
00:01:02.403 --> 00:01:05.473
It can feel like we don't have a say.
00:01:06.563 --> 00:01:10.753
And of course, that's not true, 'cause
you know I always say you dictate
00:01:10.753 --> 00:01:13.353
your fate, that you have free will.
00:01:14.173 --> 00:01:17.844
The planets are neutral energy
that we are working with.
00:01:17.873 --> 00:01:22.833
We decide if we work with that energy
on a high vibration or a low vibration.
00:01:24.213 --> 00:01:31.893
But certainly, there are moments where
it feels like there is something bigger
00:01:31.893 --> 00:01:35.434
than you and you don't have control.
00:01:36.064 --> 00:01:39.283
And this is one of those moments
where you might feel that way
00:01:39.283 --> 00:01:40.873
because Pluto is involved.
00:01:40.934 --> 00:01:44.134
So we had a full moon this Wednesday.
00:01:44.994 --> 00:01:49.954
It was in the morning Eastern
Time, and it happened right as
00:01:50.004 --> 00:01:51.744
the sun was joining with Jupiter.
00:01:52.494 --> 00:01:56.344
So we had a lot of action this week,
but all of the action really took
00:01:56.364 --> 00:02:00.563
place Monday through Wednesday,
and we really felt it Wednesday.
00:02:00.603 --> 00:02:03.874
But frankly, we're feeling it all
the time right now because there's
00:02:03.874 --> 00:02:05.294
so much happening in the sky.
00:02:05.954 --> 00:02:12.363
And remember, as I said, when there
is a lot of energy in the sky, it can
00:02:12.974 --> 00:02:15.793
electrify you, or it can put you to sleep.
00:02:16.404 --> 00:02:21.574
And if you feel like you are needing
more rest, it is about to be August.
00:02:22.183 --> 00:02:25.354
Um, many of you know that I participate
in this group called KonMari
00:02:25.443 --> 00:02:27.634
Club, and August is rest month.
00:02:27.664 --> 00:02:33.513
And I got that email today, and I thought,
"Oh my goodness, I need rest month."
00:02:34.414 --> 00:02:42.523
So this is a time when the planets are
really active that you might be called
00:02:42.553 --> 00:02:45.934
to rest, and that is really helpful.
00:02:46.064 --> 00:02:53.474
Rest is helpful because it helps you
listen, and sometimes we need to step
00:02:53.474 --> 00:02:56.883
back and listen to the messages that we're
getting, and sometimes we're getting the
00:02:56.884 --> 00:02:59.303
messages, and we're not listening to them.
00:02:59.803 --> 00:03:03.414
So giving ourselves some space,
some mental clarity, some mental
00:03:03.414 --> 00:03:06.534
space, we can finally listen.
00:03:06.573 --> 00:03:11.464
And for me personally, I have
been going, going, like no rest.
00:03:12.264 --> 00:03:15.214
And I'm feeling sick.
00:03:15.214 --> 00:03:16.294
I'm starting to get sick now.
00:03:16.294 --> 00:03:19.764
And of course, my son, he's
three, these things happen.
00:03:19.764 --> 00:03:20.464
We get colds.
00:03:21.064 --> 00:03:23.764
But I was like, "Oh yeah,
it's about to be August.
00:03:23.774 --> 00:03:28.734
It's about to be rest month," and my
body is telling me, "It's time to rest.
00:03:29.184 --> 00:03:30.154
It's time to chill out.
00:03:30.554 --> 00:03:37.172
You can't keep going at this pace So
listen to the messages, listen to the
00:03:37.172 --> 00:03:41.562
messages to rest, and listen to the
messages that come up from the space
00:03:41.562 --> 00:03:43.372
that you create when you do rest.
00:03:43.942 --> 00:03:47.372
So with the full moon, we
had a full moon in Aquarius.
00:03:47.422 --> 00:03:51.262
So the sun was sitting
with Jupiter on Wednesday.
00:03:51.492 --> 00:03:54.912
Jupiter cazimi, that means that
Jupiter entered the heart of the sun.
00:03:55.492 --> 00:04:02.052
Cazimi is when the planet enters the heart
of the sun and experiences a purification.
00:04:02.052 --> 00:04:06.242
So we experience the purest
experience of that planet.
00:04:06.622 --> 00:04:08.692
Jupiter is the god of the gods.
00:04:08.712 --> 00:04:11.742
He is fertility, he is
abundance, he is blessings.
00:04:11.772 --> 00:04:13.262
He's also excess.
00:04:13.792 --> 00:04:18.052
So you might have experienced
excess in various ways this week.
00:04:18.382 --> 00:04:23.902
You might have experienced blessings and
abundance in various ways, maybe in ways
00:04:23.902 --> 00:04:26.842
that you didn't even know were blessings.
00:04:27.402 --> 00:04:32.852
Because the sun and Jupiter are
sitting opposite the moon and Pluto.
00:04:32.852 --> 00:04:36.192
So a full moon occurs when the moon
is exactly opposite the sun, and
00:04:36.192 --> 00:04:42.222
therefore the entire face of the moon
is illuminated by the sun's light.
00:04:42.892 --> 00:04:46.212
So when we have a full moon,
we reach an apex of something.
00:04:46.212 --> 00:04:50.662
We reach a moment of fullness,
and from that fullness, we can
00:04:50.662 --> 00:04:52.982
celebrate, we can express gratitude.
00:04:53.602 --> 00:04:57.612
And after the full moon, we enter
a phase of waning, of letting go.
00:04:58.622 --> 00:05:04.122
This full moon really introduced a time
of shedding, and I mean that on the
00:05:04.122 --> 00:05:10.232
most spiritual of levels, because there
are so many things happening in the
00:05:10.242 --> 00:05:16.612
sky right now that are really calling
for a massive spiritual rewiring.
00:05:17.012 --> 00:05:21.542
Our nervous systems our being, our
collective nervous system, our collective
00:05:21.542 --> 00:05:25.222
consciousness is being rewired right now.
00:05:25.612 --> 00:05:31.462
We are going through once in a lifetime,
once in many lifetimes astrology.
00:05:31.832 --> 00:05:37.762
We are living through the downfall of
the empire that most of us listening
00:05:37.762 --> 00:05:39.892
to this podcast are living in.
00:05:40.302 --> 00:05:47.302
We are living through harrowing times
that are not unlike 1930s Germany.
00:05:47.932 --> 00:05:51.922
And if you don't realize that, if
you're not paying attention to that-
00:05:54.008 --> 00:05:55.518
Uh, you know, it's time to wake up.
00:05:55.768 --> 00:05:59.978
We are being called to wake up on the
most fundamental levels, on the level
00:05:59.978 --> 00:06:05.048
of being a human being, on the level of
being a spiritual being in a human body.
00:06:05.998 --> 00:06:15.338
So I have felt this year my heart kind
of crack open on the collective level
00:06:15.478 --> 00:06:22.538
to my experience of being a human
being, to the empathy and compassion
00:06:22.538 --> 00:06:23.908
I have for other human beings.
00:06:23.928 --> 00:06:30.128
I don't know if that's just because I'm
a mom now, and there's a certain empathy
00:06:30.128 --> 00:06:35.738
that comes with that, that you just
⦠every child becomes your child, or you
00:06:35.738 --> 00:06:38.328
see, you see your child in every child.
00:06:38.358 --> 00:06:39.688
I mean, that's how I feel.
00:06:40.398 --> 00:06:46.868
But what is happening is cracking us
all open, and we have to allow it,
00:06:47.088 --> 00:06:49.188
because that is where we will grow.
00:06:50.888 --> 00:06:53.548
So this basket, it's intense.
00:06:53.628 --> 00:06:56.058
It is bringing up everything.
00:06:56.668 --> 00:07:00.978
And as I explained last week, we have
these outer planets all talking to one
00:07:00.978 --> 00:07:03.258
another, creating this basket formation.
00:07:03.778 --> 00:07:05.078
It's very unusual.
00:07:05.088 --> 00:07:06.808
So unusual, we've never seen it.
00:07:07.278 --> 00:07:08.238
No one's seen it.
00:07:08.308 --> 00:07:11.768
We've never seen this exact
formation of the planets.
00:07:12.508 --> 00:07:16.578
And the outer planets ask us
to transcend what is mundane.
00:07:16.648 --> 00:07:20.178
The outer planets, Uranus,
Neptune, and Pluto, we can't
00:07:20.178 --> 00:07:21.348
see them with the naked eye.
00:07:21.368 --> 00:07:23.348
We need a telescope to see them.
00:07:23.608 --> 00:07:27.278
They ask us to believe that there
is something else out there that we
00:07:27.278 --> 00:07:30.158
can't see, but trust that it is real.
00:07:30.708 --> 00:07:36.138
They ask us to understand that there
is something bigger connecting us all.
00:07:36.818 --> 00:07:41.438
And so having all these planets
working together in this way, for me
00:07:41.448 --> 00:07:47.328
personally, as someone who comes from,
the school of yoga, it's how can I
00:07:47.328 --> 00:07:54.718
not see that as the universe asking us
to fundamentally understand and feel
00:07:54.718 --> 00:07:56.748
that we are connected to one another?
00:07:58.376 --> 00:08:00.506
On a collective conscious level, right?
00:08:00.686 --> 00:08:03.986
So that is what's happening underneath it.
00:08:03.986 --> 00:08:07.006
And then on the surface, you're
going through your life and you're
00:08:07.006 --> 00:08:09.086
like, "Hey, I gotta pack lunch.
00:08:09.086 --> 00:08:10.296
Hey, I gotta get to work.
00:08:10.296 --> 00:08:11.656
Hey, I gotta get cash out.
00:08:12.186 --> 00:08:13.466
Hey, I gotta make dinner."
00:08:13.886 --> 00:08:16.956
All of those things are happening
while underneath you are being
00:08:16.956 --> 00:08:19.066
spiritually completely rewired.
00:08:19.136 --> 00:08:21.026
And so that is heavy stuff.
00:08:21.306 --> 00:08:24.706
And this full moon is like,
hey, this is heavy stuff.
00:08:25.026 --> 00:08:27.096
It is illuminating the heavy stuff.
00:08:27.126 --> 00:08:32.256
It's illuminating what has to be
released and shed so that we can
00:08:32.256 --> 00:08:37.046
step into this new spiritual being
that we are becoming collectively.
00:08:37.676 --> 00:08:44.226
So this full moon, the sun sat with
Jupiter, which is often considered the
00:08:44.226 --> 00:08:46.646
luckiest day of the year in astrology.
00:08:46.646 --> 00:08:48.146
A lot of astrologers say that.
00:08:48.646 --> 00:08:51.336
And then opposite the
moon sitting with Pluto.
00:08:51.556 --> 00:08:54.566
Now, Pluto rules everything
that is underneath the surface.
00:08:54.576 --> 00:09:01.036
He rules the resources, the gems,
the gems, the diamonds, the, the,
00:09:01.106 --> 00:09:07.276
the rare earth materials that power
our phones and our electric cars.
00:09:07.276 --> 00:09:09.056
They all come from deep in the earth.
00:09:09.086 --> 00:09:13.016
The oil that we use for energy comes
from deep in the earth, although
00:09:13.016 --> 00:09:14.896
often oil is associated with Neptune.
00:09:15.266 --> 00:09:19.996
But with that said, there are, the
resources in the earth are Plutonian.
00:09:20.516 --> 00:09:26.446
And those resources, those resources,
when they are brought to the surface
00:09:26.486 --> 00:09:29.956
and they are scrubbed, you know, you
get that you put the diamond under
00:09:29.956 --> 00:09:32.146
pressure, and then it is beautiful.
00:09:32.916 --> 00:09:37.406
Pluto puts us through the wringer so
that we can experience that beauty.
00:09:38.376 --> 00:09:41.266
And this full moon was like,
okay, this is what's going
00:09:41.266 --> 00:09:42.506
through the wringer right now.
00:09:42.516 --> 00:09:47.026
This is what's being wrung out in
the wash so that you can experience
00:09:47.026 --> 00:09:52.166
the beauty that's up ahead And so you
might have seen some things illuminated
00:09:52.176 --> 00:09:58.256
this week that were tough to look at
because Pluto was sitting with the moon.
00:09:58.666 --> 00:10:02.706
So the thing that was being illuminated
was the, the moon, and therefore Pluto
00:10:02.706 --> 00:10:05.496
was being illuminated by that light.
00:10:06.256 --> 00:10:08.346
And Pluto is in Aquarius.
00:10:08.546 --> 00:10:12.586
Many of you have heard me talk about
this for years upon years, and you're
00:10:12.586 --> 00:10:15.266
bored of hearing it, but I'll say
it for those of you that are new.
00:10:15.266 --> 00:10:15.996
Welcome.
00:10:16.526 --> 00:10:19.556
We are in the midst of the Pluto
return of the United States of America.
00:10:20.526 --> 00:10:25.756
Every 250-ish years, we get
Pluto back to where he was.
00:10:26.256 --> 00:10:28.336
And so countries have charts.
00:10:28.346 --> 00:10:29.536
Cities have charts.
00:10:29.646 --> 00:10:30.836
Everything has a chart.
00:10:31.266 --> 00:10:35.716
So the chart of the United States
of America, July 4th, 1776, we
00:10:35.716 --> 00:10:37.806
have Pluto at 27 degrees Capricorn.
00:10:38.426 --> 00:10:44.646
We came back to that spot in 2022, but
the Revolutionary War wasn't over until
00:10:44.646 --> 00:10:47.326
Pluto was at eight degrees of Aquarius.
00:10:47.416 --> 00:10:48.826
And guess where Pluto is now?
00:10:48.826 --> 00:10:51.246
He's at four degrees of Aquarius.
00:10:51.736 --> 00:10:53.556
So we are still in it.
00:10:53.606 --> 00:10:55.486
We are still in this moment.
00:10:55.496 --> 00:10:58.326
We are in our second revolution of sorts.
00:10:58.716 --> 00:11:04.686
There is a very revolutionary feel of what
is going on in this country right now.
00:11:05.106 --> 00:11:07.456
People are worried that
this is gonna be civil war.
00:11:07.456 --> 00:11:09.976
No, this is the
Revolutionary War part two.
00:11:10.336 --> 00:11:14.936
Everything we're seeing right now
lines up so clearly with the things
00:11:14.936 --> 00:11:17.066
that we were seeing 250 years ago.
00:11:17.506 --> 00:11:21.796
So amidst all of that going on,
you're living your life, and you're
00:11:21.806 --> 00:11:23.636
having your own personal revolution.
00:11:23.706 --> 00:11:27.196
And the sun joining with Jupiter
was like, here are your blessings.
00:11:27.216 --> 00:11:30.886
Here are all these amazing
things that are available to you.
00:11:31.186 --> 00:11:35.236
Sitting opposite Pluto, and Pluto is
saying, "Oh, here's some dark stuff.
00:11:35.246 --> 00:11:38.606
Here's some stuff underneath the
surface that's useful to you.
00:11:38.986 --> 00:11:42.546
How are you gonna excavate it and
clean it up so that you can use it?"
00:11:43.966 --> 00:11:50.116
So secondly, the full moon is illuminating
a much bigger cycle that I think is
00:11:50.116 --> 00:11:58.186
super interesting, which is that back
in 2020, Jupiter and Pluto got together.
00:11:58.466 --> 00:12:02.096
So you may remember, if you've
been with me for a while, that
00:12:02.436 --> 00:12:08.006
COVID was totally lined up with the
Saturn-Pluto conjunction of 2020.
00:12:09.506 --> 00:12:10.726
That was in January.
00:12:10.996 --> 00:12:13.836
That was when COVID was named,
the day that they joined together.
00:12:13.936 --> 00:12:20.016
And then a couple months later in March,
we had Jupiter and Mars join Saturn
00:12:20.026 --> 00:12:26.676
and Pluto, and they were all conjoined
at 22 degrees of Pl- of Capricorn.
00:12:27.206 --> 00:12:30.156
And that was the expansion of COVID.
00:12:30.176 --> 00:12:31.586
That was the shutdown.
00:12:31.646 --> 00:12:39.304
Everything, the whole world changed
mid-March 2020 So Jupiter and Pluto
00:12:39.304 --> 00:12:40.734
were joined together at that time.
00:12:40.744 --> 00:12:45.204
They had three conjunctions that
year, and every time Jupiter and Pluto
00:12:45.204 --> 00:12:50.554
came together, I was besides myself
because we were living in New York
00:12:50.554 --> 00:12:52.384
City, and we were in a high-rise.
00:12:53.064 --> 00:12:57.634
And two-thirds of my building
left the city, and we stayed,
00:12:57.664 --> 00:12:58.714
and guess what happened?
00:12:58.714 --> 00:13:02.914
People were not running their
water, and then the water bugs,
00:13:02.944 --> 00:13:06.444
AKA cockroaches of New York City,
were coming up the water pipes.
00:13:06.954 --> 00:13:11.784
And I swear to God, every time a
Jupiter-Pluto conjunction happens, we
00:13:11.854 --> 00:13:15.164
saw water bugs, and I flipped the F out.
00:13:15.634 --> 00:13:18.154
So guess what?
00:13:18.324 --> 00:13:22.304
That Jupiter-Pluto, it brought
what was below the surface up to
00:13:22.304 --> 00:13:24.034
the surface, and I didn't like it.
00:13:24.034 --> 00:13:24.894
But you know what?
00:13:24.904 --> 00:13:25.944
My husband willâ¦
00:13:25.974 --> 00:13:27.234
i'm embarrassed to say this.
00:13:27.244 --> 00:13:30.444
My husband reminds me
of it every year or so.
00:13:31.134 --> 00:13:33.574
That was the impetus for
us leaving New York City.
00:13:33.854 --> 00:13:35.164
I mean, there were other impetuses.
00:13:35.174 --> 00:13:38.464
We didn't need to be in New York
City anymore because of work
00:13:38.464 --> 00:13:40.464
responsibilities were no longer there.
00:13:41.044 --> 00:13:44.504
But I was like, "I don't
wanna live here anymore."
00:13:45.644 --> 00:13:46.964
Get me to the suburbs.
00:13:48.364 --> 00:13:51.874
So we decided to put that in motion.
00:13:51.884 --> 00:13:55.724
In August of 2020, we put down the
money on the house that we live in now.
00:13:56.104 --> 00:14:00.064
So what are the seeds
that you planted in 2020?
00:14:00.074 --> 00:14:05.214
What are the seeds you planted when
Jupiter and Pluto joined together in
00:14:05.424 --> 00:14:08.824
March of 2020, but then subsequently
three more times that year?
00:14:09.184 --> 00:14:11.564
There were lots of things
that you were planting.
00:14:11.574 --> 00:14:15.374
There were lots of blessings
that came out of that time.
00:14:15.374 --> 00:14:15.964
We know that.
00:14:15.994 --> 00:14:20.684
There was lots of ugliness and terrible
things that came out of that time.
00:14:21.934 --> 00:14:27.554
But amidst the illumination of the
darkness, there was also a lot of light.
00:14:28.084 --> 00:14:30.684
So think about the seeds that you planted.
00:14:30.694 --> 00:14:33.844
Things, think about the things
that you started at that time.
00:14:34.214 --> 00:14:35.554
What was going on in your life?
00:14:35.554 --> 00:14:40.324
You can go back to your camera roll in
your phone, or go look at your calendar.
00:14:40.824 --> 00:14:42.644
Think back to what you were working on.
00:14:42.644 --> 00:14:44.214
What did your family look like?
00:14:44.214 --> 00:14:45.644
Who were you dating?
00:14:45.984 --> 00:14:47.284
Who were you friends with?
00:14:47.284 --> 00:14:48.654
Who were you talking to?
00:14:48.664 --> 00:14:50.924
Who did you spend quarantine with?
00:14:51.434 --> 00:14:55.404
Think about all of those things
and what you were wanting
00:14:55.634 --> 00:14:57.174
for your life at that time.
00:14:58.434 --> 00:15:05.196
And Then look at where you've been
and how far you've come since 2020.
00:15:05.826 --> 00:15:08.686
Because that was, almost
seven years ago now.
00:15:09.136 --> 00:15:14.996
And now we have the full moon
of sorts, the opposition.
00:15:15.956 --> 00:15:17.776
The new moon is like the conjunction.
00:15:17.816 --> 00:15:19.496
The full moon is the opposition.
00:15:20.386 --> 00:15:24.516
So we have the full moon, of
sorts, with Jupiter opposite Pluto.
00:15:24.566 --> 00:15:29.836
At the same time, the literal full moon,
the full moon in Aquarius opposite the
00:15:29.836 --> 00:15:32.866
sun in Leo, illuminated those two planets.
00:15:33.346 --> 00:15:40.646
So we are having a, I don't wanna
say full circle moment, 'cause it's
00:15:40.646 --> 00:15:45.706
not a full circle moment, it's 180
degree moment, because it is Pluto
00:15:45.736 --> 00:15:51.146
180 degrees from Jupiter, and it's
the moon illuminating Pluto 180
00:15:51.146 --> 00:15:53.896
degrees from the sun conjunct Jupiter.
00:15:54.416 --> 00:15:59.586
So think about that, and as you look
back on this week, and as we look
00:15:59.586 --> 00:16:08.356
forward, this is an incredibly potent
time for shedding the old stuff, but
00:16:08.386 --> 00:16:13.466
also reflecting on all of that stuff
you wanted and all of the stuff that
00:16:13.476 --> 00:16:16.066
you've received in these seven years.
00:16:17.046 --> 00:16:20.146
And where do you go from here?
00:16:20.496 --> 00:16:22.086
What's the next right step?
00:16:22.216 --> 00:16:26.336
Maybe you don't see the whole
staircase, but you see the next
00:16:26.366 --> 00:16:31.576
right step, and that will carry you
to the following next right step.
00:16:32.086 --> 00:16:36.446
And we have to trust that there's
something bigger than us that's connecting
00:16:36.446 --> 00:16:41.156
all of us together, that's allowing
us to be part of that transcendence
00:16:41.156 --> 00:16:47.826
that the outer planets are trying to
help us see and feel right now with
00:16:47.826 --> 00:16:50.136
this basket of what I'm calling hope.
00:16:50.826 --> 00:16:55.366
So okay, the full moon in
Aquarius, we had that on Wednesday.
00:16:56.556 --> 00:17:00.786
It asked you what needs to be discarded,
where does space need to be made.
00:17:01.466 --> 00:17:05.736
From that place of fullness,
what can we create?
00:17:11.350 --> 00:17:17.370
So this full moon opened up something
else, not just all that stuff.
00:17:17.780 --> 00:17:21.210
It also opened up eclipse season.
00:17:22.390 --> 00:17:28.540
So with eclipse season, it is always
opened by the lunation before the eclipse.
00:17:28.580 --> 00:17:30.500
So this full moon was a regular full moon.
00:17:31.580 --> 00:17:36.370
The next lunation, the new
moon, will be a solar eclipse.
00:17:36.370 --> 00:17:38.030
That will be August 12th.
00:17:38.530 --> 00:17:41.370
So we are officially in eclipse season.
00:17:41.690 --> 00:17:47.350
Eclipse season generally
feels like time is malleable.
00:17:47.550 --> 00:17:54.134
It goes fast or it goes slow or
Things just speed up or they slow
00:17:54.134 --> 00:17:56.604
down or they do both at the same time.
00:17:56.614 --> 00:18:01.024
I always say eclipse season feels
like we enter a vortex of energy.
00:18:01.754 --> 00:18:05.754
And as I said earlier, there are
a couple of things in astrology
00:18:05.754 --> 00:18:08.304
where we really don't have control.
00:18:08.664 --> 00:18:11.844
You know my main thing is you have
free will, you dictate your fate.
00:18:11.854 --> 00:18:12.904
That's my motto.
00:18:13.764 --> 00:18:18.554
But there are a couple of places in
astrology where there are forces larger
00:18:18.554 --> 00:18:22.184
than us at play, and that is when we
are working with Pluto, and that is
00:18:22.184 --> 00:18:23.544
when we are working with the nodes.
00:18:24.594 --> 00:18:28.794
The nodes of fate just
switch signs on Sunday.
00:18:28.924 --> 00:18:34.994
So every year and a half, the nodes
of fate move signs, and that means
00:18:34.994 --> 00:18:37.994
the eclipses will happen in new signs.
00:18:38.534 --> 00:18:42.264
So an eclipse is a new moon or a
full moon that occurs near the nodes.
00:18:42.514 --> 00:18:44.704
Now, the nodes are the places in the sky.
00:18:44.714 --> 00:18:49.644
They're points in the sky where the
path of the sun around the Earth, the
00:18:49.644 --> 00:18:52.504
apparent path of the sun around the
Earth, 'cause of course we know that
00:18:52.504 --> 00:18:55.904
the Earth is going around the sun, but
that's what it appears to us, that the
00:18:55.904 --> 00:19:01.094
sun is moving around us, and the path of
the moon, where they cross one another.
00:19:01.504 --> 00:19:04.464
Those two points in the sky
are where the nodes sit.
00:19:04.994 --> 00:19:09.394
And so when we have a lunation
near the nodes, we have an eclipse.
00:19:09.444 --> 00:19:12.904
We- that means that the Earth,
the sun, and the moon line up
00:19:12.914 --> 00:19:18.264
in a way that the light of one
of our luminaries is eclipsed.
00:19:18.274 --> 00:19:19.104
It's obscured.
00:19:19.354 --> 00:19:22.764
Now, it might not be obscured exactly
where you sit on the planet, but it is
00:19:22.764 --> 00:19:28.754
obscured somewhere on the planet, and
we feel that even if we can't see it.
00:19:29.254 --> 00:19:31.834
So August 12th, we will
have a solar eclipse.
00:19:32.854 --> 00:19:37.924
So this lunation, this full moon in
Aquarius, opened up, uh, the eclipse
00:19:37.944 --> 00:19:41.214
portal, the eclipse vortex, the
eclipse season, whatever you wanna
00:19:41.214 --> 00:19:47.674
call it, with this simultaneously
heavy but abundant lunation that we
00:19:47.674 --> 00:19:50.934
just had that really keyed us intoâ¦
00:19:51.174 --> 00:19:53.464
It, like, kinda unlocked the basket.
00:19:53.484 --> 00:19:57.434
It sort of, like, keyed us into
that energy at the same time
00:19:57.434 --> 00:19:58.824
that it opened eclipse season.
00:19:59.284 --> 00:20:06.794
So I really do feel like the astrology
of July was a marker in time that we
00:20:06.794 --> 00:20:12.034
stepped over the threshold into a new
era, a new period of time, which is
00:20:12.034 --> 00:20:16.454
exactly what André Barbault was saying,
the French astrologer who died in Tr-
00:20:16.604 --> 00:20:23.124
2019, who is the person who predicted
the Barbault Basket, which is what
00:20:23.124 --> 00:20:28.046
we're all talking about these days So
I like to think about the basket as
00:20:28.046 --> 00:20:30.946
something that holds something, right?
00:20:31.246 --> 00:20:35.476
And this eclipse season is probably
going to help us see what we're
00:20:35.476 --> 00:20:37.216
meant to be putting in that basket.
00:20:37.626 --> 00:20:40.226
And some of those things might
have been illuminated this week.
00:20:40.286 --> 00:20:43.036
You might have to take some things out
so that you have space for something
00:20:43.036 --> 00:20:45.046
else because the basket is only so large.
00:20:45.296 --> 00:20:50.486
You can only carry what you can carry,
if you've been training your spiritual
00:20:50.486 --> 00:20:56.436
muscles, if you've been training and you
can carry, a lot of stuff, then great.
00:20:56.636 --> 00:20:57.666
But some of us haven't.
00:20:57.686 --> 00:21:00.496
Some of us don't have the
bandwidth to carry a lot of stuff.
00:21:00.796 --> 00:21:02.836
So be honest with yourself.
00:21:02.856 --> 00:21:04.636
How much can you carry?
00:21:04.956 --> 00:21:10.156
What do you wanna bring with you as we
cross this threshold into this new era?
00:21:10.666 --> 00:21:15.896
So now we're officially in eclipse season,
and the nodes are in Leo and Aquarius.
00:21:15.896 --> 00:21:16.786
So what does that mean?
00:21:16.796 --> 00:21:19.886
The north node is in the sign of Aquarius.
00:21:20.266 --> 00:21:25.376
Aquarius is associated with community
and our friendships, our groups,
00:21:25.886 --> 00:21:29.686
the places where we feel a sense
of belonging and we share values.
00:21:30.996 --> 00:21:35.896
Aquarius is also the sign of the rebel,
the revolution, the revolutionary,
00:21:35.896 --> 00:21:38.466
the humanitarian, the social activist.
00:21:38.466 --> 00:21:43.516
All of those things are very
much up on the boards right now.
00:21:44.136 --> 00:21:48.096
The south node is in Leo.
00:21:48.546 --> 00:21:52.966
And Leo sits opposite Aquarius 'cause
the nodes are always exactly opposite
00:21:52.966 --> 00:21:55.166
one another, just like a seesaw.
00:21:55.166 --> 00:21:57.866
When one moves, the other moves
in the opposite direction.
00:21:58.276 --> 00:22:03.836
The south node is in the sign of
Leo where the sun is right now.
00:22:03.846 --> 00:22:05.506
The sun and Jupiter are in Leo.
00:22:06.416 --> 00:22:09.516
And we just had that conjunction,
right, which is one of the luckiest
00:22:09.516 --> 00:22:11.566
days of the year, many astrologers say.
00:22:12.126 --> 00:22:18.176
So Leo is really getting a lot of action
right now, and that makes us sit back
00:22:18.176 --> 00:22:19.926
and say, "Okay, the sun is in Leo.
00:22:19.926 --> 00:22:23.966
The sun is in its domicile, where
it belongs, where it is at home."
00:22:25.136 --> 00:22:27.726
The sun in Leo is about
our sense of identity.
00:22:27.976 --> 00:22:28.896
Who are we?
00:22:29.286 --> 00:22:36.246
Our will, our ability to exert our free
will, and then I'm telling you that so
00:22:36.246 --> 00:22:37.836
much is out of our control right now.
00:22:38.206 --> 00:22:42.116
So there's really a paradox at play
with this full moon that is bringing
00:22:42.126 --> 00:22:44.136
all of this to light right now.
00:22:44.676 --> 00:22:49.776
But we have this opportunity to step
forward over this threshold, out of July,
00:22:49.786 --> 00:22:57.046
and into this next era of astrology free
of whatever is going to keep us from
00:22:57.046 --> 00:23:01.796
growing and evolving because this is a
time of massive growth and evolution.
00:23:03.766 --> 00:23:08.526
Um, the south node in Leo, that's the
place of creative self-expression,
00:23:09.426 --> 00:23:16.626
of joy, of validation, of allowing
yourself to be seen and visible.
00:23:16.656 --> 00:23:19.346
And so don't take this to mean
that you're not meant to be seen.
00:23:21.346 --> 00:23:23.265
The nodes are working
on a collective level.
00:23:24.646 --> 00:23:28.086
You have to see where this is activating
your personal chart to see what the
00:23:28.146 --> 00:23:30.126
exact personal message is for you.
00:23:30.546 --> 00:23:37.156
But collectively, we are releasing our
reliance, or might I say addiction,
00:23:37.386 --> 00:23:40.016
to individual self-expression.
00:23:40.086 --> 00:23:46.006
What I wanna be seen for, what is
good for me, what I wanna be validated
00:23:46.046 --> 00:23:51.796
for as an individual, and moving
toward and embracing our role as
00:23:51.826 --> 00:23:53.865
part of collective consciousness.
00:23:55.806 --> 00:24:01.826
Moving toward that being
seen, that being appreciated.
00:24:01.946 --> 00:24:07.086
All of us as humanity working
together, being collectively
00:24:07.306 --> 00:24:10.566
validated, seen, and valued.
00:24:11.986 --> 00:24:15.306
So it's perfect timing because
we've got the basket of hope
00:24:15.646 --> 00:24:17.566
rewiring us on a spiritual level.
00:24:18.646 --> 00:24:21.026
And we also have Saturn in Aries.
00:24:21.286 --> 00:24:24.986
And we haven't talked about him in a
minute, but he did retrograde last week.
00:24:25.066 --> 00:24:26.126
I think I mentioned that.
00:24:26.616 --> 00:24:32.686
On Sunday, we had, Sunday the 26th of
July, we had Saturn retrograde, and we
00:24:32.746 --> 00:24:36.266
had the nodes enter Leo and Aquarius.
00:24:36.886 --> 00:24:43.946
So with Saturn retrograde, it brought
up or brought our attention to where
00:24:45.126 --> 00:24:46.646
we have a sense of responsibility.
00:24:47.576 --> 00:24:53.086
And maybe this week with the full
moon, your responsibilities were
00:24:53.166 --> 00:24:57.246
really in your face and illuminated
because of that Saturn retrograde.
00:24:59.466 --> 00:25:00.966
Saturn being retrograde is not a big deal.
00:25:01.006 --> 00:25:02.166
It's not like Mercury retrograde.
00:25:02.206 --> 00:25:03.745
It's a very different energy.
00:25:03.806 --> 00:25:07.346
The outer planets, you know,
Saturn on out, they spend a lot
00:25:07.386 --> 00:25:08.906
of months retrograde every year.
00:25:10.266 --> 00:25:16.335
So it's not serious on that level, but
it does give us a moment to review and
00:25:16.866 --> 00:25:22.026
just, especially while it is stationing,
so really this last week, to review what
00:25:22.046 --> 00:25:24.746
responsibilities do I want to take on.
00:25:25.166 --> 00:25:26.506
What do I want to take care of?
00:25:26.546 --> 00:25:28.126
What do I have to take care of?
00:25:29.206 --> 00:25:36.246
Um, Saturn in Aries is a three-year
story, and Saturn in Aries is really
00:25:36.306 --> 00:25:40.866
teaching us about resilience, really
teaching us about going through the
00:25:40.906 --> 00:25:43.586
hard thing and doing the hard thing.
00:25:43.666 --> 00:25:46.186
Like as Glennon Doyle says,
we can do hard things.
00:25:46.286 --> 00:25:47.186
I think it's Glennon Doyle.
00:25:48.096 --> 00:25:53.235
We can do hard things is, like,
the motto of Saturn in Aries.
00:25:53.746 --> 00:25:57.486
So that's where we are with
Saturn in Aries, but it's also
00:26:00.776 --> 00:26:08.296
An energy that is helping us get
real about the toxic individualism
00:26:08.306 --> 00:26:11.486
in our society, because Aries
is the ultimate individual.
00:26:12.066 --> 00:26:17.176
And speaking as an Aries, I can say,
sometimes we can forget about the
00:26:17.176 --> 00:26:18.996
other people in the room a little bit.
00:26:19.176 --> 00:26:21.836
Not all of us, but some
of us and at times.
00:26:22.446 --> 00:26:24.746
Every sign has its shadow side, right?
00:26:25.286 --> 00:26:32.476
So Aries can be head down, go forward,
doesn't matter what anybody else is doing.
00:26:33.256 --> 00:26:34.846
That can be the energy of Aries.
00:26:35.126 --> 00:26:37.236
Saturn in Aries is
telling us to slow down.
00:26:37.716 --> 00:26:38.516
Slow down.
00:26:39.466 --> 00:26:40.946
What are your responsibilities?
00:26:42.426 --> 00:26:44.876
We can't only be looking
out for ourselves.
00:26:45.756 --> 00:26:51.066
So this south node in Leo comes at the
perfect time to work with that Saturn
00:26:51.066 --> 00:27:00.236
in Aries and help us hopefully get out
of this cycle of toxic individualism.
00:27:00.246 --> 00:27:03.895
How do we have community
care, collective care?
00:27:03.926 --> 00:27:05.576
How do we take care of one another?
00:27:06.046 --> 00:27:09.936
And know that when we take care of one
another, we're all taken better care of.
00:27:10.906 --> 00:27:13.425
So that is what I have for you today.
00:27:13.536 --> 00:27:16.025
I hope it's helpful.
00:27:16.066 --> 00:27:20.036
A couple of things to note is that
we are having these long void moons.
00:27:20.036 --> 00:27:21.496
I mentioned it last time.
00:27:22.156 --> 00:27:24.315
Those are days where things move slower.
00:27:24.366 --> 00:27:28.635
Really good for meditating, really
good for sitting back, really good
00:27:28.635 --> 00:27:32.806
for doing mundane work that you don't
really want anything to come of.
00:27:32.826 --> 00:27:34.356
Not great for launching.
00:27:34.885 --> 00:27:38.556
We've got a couple-- We had one on
Tuesday, and we're gonna have a long void
00:27:38.556 --> 00:27:41.915
on Sunday, which a long void on Sunday
is a great day to have a long void.
00:27:41.915 --> 00:27:45.065
Sit back, relax, and take it easy.
00:27:45.465 --> 00:27:49.215
Next week on Monday, we have
Chiron station to retrograde.
00:27:50.405 --> 00:27:54.055
Chiron is a dwarf planet, asteroid,
whatever you wanna call him.
00:27:54.065 --> 00:27:54.865
He's far out.
00:27:55.505 --> 00:28:04.355
Not a huge deal, but it does bring more of
our awareness to that core wound within.
00:28:04.585 --> 00:28:10.235
And as I said, with this full moon
illuminating Pluto, what is buried deep
00:28:10.235 --> 00:28:12.795
underneath might be rising to the surface.
00:28:13.435 --> 00:28:18.025
So Chiron retrograde, certainly
going to make that even more evident.
00:28:18.266 --> 00:28:20.695
So pay attention to what's coming up.
00:28:20.766 --> 00:28:22.185
Notice what's going on.
00:28:22.225 --> 00:28:23.655
Notice who's in your path.
00:28:23.685 --> 00:28:25.755
Notice what opportunities are cropping up.
00:28:26.255 --> 00:28:28.185
Notice what you're seeing in your feed.
00:28:28.516 --> 00:28:29.096
And
00:28:31.327 --> 00:28:34.727
Just pay attention because eclipse
season is about paying attention.
00:28:34.737 --> 00:28:35.917
It's about listening.
00:28:36.037 --> 00:28:37.627
It's not about manifesting.
00:28:37.947 --> 00:28:39.617
It's not about doing the ritual.
00:28:39.887 --> 00:28:42.007
It's not about pushing something forward.
00:28:42.467 --> 00:28:46.047
It's about paying
attention to what is there.
00:28:47.037 --> 00:28:52.777
And I promise this eclipse season,
it's definitely going to speed
00:28:52.837 --> 00:28:55.677
up whatever is already happening.
00:28:56.177 --> 00:29:03.897
So you won't have to do too much to
see where the energy is directing you.
00:29:04.307 --> 00:29:04.457
Okay?
00:29:05.217 --> 00:29:07.077
I will talk to you next week.
00:29:07.077 --> 00:29:11.387

And that's all I got.
00:29:31.567 --> 00:29:34.097
I hope you're doing well,
and take care of yourself.
00:29:34.097 --> 00:29:38.237
Take deep breaths, and remember,
August is the month for rest.
00:29:39.177 --> 00:29:40.047
All right, bye.
