บทถอดความฉบับเต็มของ 268. From Mars-Pluto Tension to Embodied Authority: October’s Astrology Forecast

just gonna dive into the astrology of October. 00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:40.560 I know the last couple weeks or so have felt like a release, like a breath, like we can kind of like take in that deep breath after, you know, the eclipse season, after the fall equinox. 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:42.959 We're still, I mean, we're pretty much out of the energy of it. 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:44.000 We are in the energy. 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:59.279 We have a few transits from last week, um, Mars Square Pluto, which I felt uh, I wouldn't say intensely, but I've definitely felt some irritation, some frustration that it's definitely rooted to something deeper, which makes sense with Pluto, right? 00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.839 Because Pluto is like that kind of underbelly. 00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:03.199 Um what is the term? 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:04.319 Underbelly of the beast. 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:09.279 Um, but it's just sort of like the things that have been festering that we don't necessarily always see, right? 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:18.480 We don't necessarily consciously we're not aware of, but it's like the things that we've kind of maybe shoved down and just kind of let go that are asking for our attention. 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:20.399 Because again, Pluto is a slow-moving planet. 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:23.199 So these things just kind of bubble up until it becomes uncomfortable. 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.279 So we have to see them, we have to face them. 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:26.560 So that's sort of that energy. 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:32.240 And I've definitely been feeling that in a lot of ways, especially, you know, a lot of family stuff has been coming up for me. 00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:39.360 And um, for me, I have Pluto and Scorpio, and it's in my fourth house, and the transiting Pluto is square to my natal Pluto. 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:48.959 So if you are a Pluto and Scorpio baby, these things are going to be coming up because over the next 20 years, Pluto will be squaring your natal Pluto at some point. 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.879 And so for me, again, being in the place of home, like a lot of that stuff is coming up. 00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:57.600 I've had some back pain for I think since May. 00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:04.800 And I am very, very fortunate and very blessed and very grateful to live in a body that really feels great. 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:09.040 And so this sort of like discomfort in my back is new to me. 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:15.439 I'm not one to have, you know, again, like I said, fortunately, I'm not one to suffer from chronic pain of any sort. 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.680 And so it's actually been a little bit challenging. 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:23.040 And I'm trying to be very particular about my words and and um energy that I'm bringing to it. 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:29.759 But at the same time, you can't ignore when something hurts, whether it's physically, spiritually, emotionally, we can't bypass that. 00:06:29.920 -->

00:06:36.879 And so just trying to figure out what it is, I am always of the mind, I believe that it's physical pain is a manifestation of something internal. 00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:46.800 And a lot of what has been coming up lately, you know, through eclipse season, through this Mars Square Pluto, through against Pluto Square My Native Pluto, like all these things that are coming up. 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:54.800 Um, a lot of uh family things, I guess, you know, things that maybe you kind of just sweep under the rug and ignore. 00:06:54.879 --> 00:07:02.560 Uh, you know, even with my kids, I think our kids are our greatest mirror and our kids are the deepest spiritual work we will do. 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:15.439 And so, even with that, like seeing these things that are mirrored through my children, that is really reminding me that my past, my stories, my narratives do not have to become theirs. 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:26.160 And so, in those moments where I feel triggered by something they've done, they've said, they've been disrespectful or whatever, it again, my narrative doesn't have to become theirs. 00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:29.519 So there's a way to approach it, but that's not super reactionary. 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:40.480 And I think that with this Mars Square Pluto and some of the other transits that are coming up, it's really a matter of not reacting, or rather remembering that we can control our reaction to things. 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:45.120 We can control what we say, how we approach situations. 00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:48.639 We can't control a whole lot in life, but we can control that. 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:54.000 We can control the way we show up, we can control the way that we react, we can control the words that we say. 00:07:54.079 --> 00:08:04.319 And so just really remembering that, especially this week, as I'm having to do something, I really like if if it didn't have to do with my kids, I this would be an absolute hell no. 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:07.600 It would be a fuck no from me, like beyond hell no. 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:16.480 But I'm always one about honoring your intuition, honoring your body, and I know that this is a no for me, but I also know it is beyond me. 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:19.519 And, you know, always prioritizing the kids. 00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:21.439 So I'm doing something that I really don't want to do. 00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:28.240 And I was sitting there in meditation last night and I noticed my mind's like ruminating on all of the worst case scenarios. 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:35.840 And so I just had to stop myself mid-meditation and just remind myself that it doesn't have to turn out like that. 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:37.039 It doesn't have to look like that. 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:41.360 I am under no obligation to say yes to something I don't want to say yes to. 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:43.679 I'm under no obligation to appease someone. 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.240 You know, the past version of

me was a huge people pleaser. 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:47.600 I would say yes, I would go along. 00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:51.759 That freeze fawn response is my trauma response. 00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:52.399 That's what I do. 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.720 I kind of shut down and I'm just like that people please, that has always been the thing that's kept me safe. 00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:58.879 And also I know that I am safe now. 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:01.840 I'm safe to be myself, I'm safe to show up the way that I want to show up. 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:04.559 I can take a pause, I don't have to respond to things immediately. 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:14.240 I've really been doing a lot of work with my emotional authority and my undefined root, which always I feel the pressure of having to respond to something now or give you an answer now or do something now. 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:15.440 And there's no need to do that. 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:16.799 I can say, hey, I need a minute. 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:17.519 I'll think about it. 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:19.039 Let me get back to you, right? 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:23.279 Like I always tell my kids, always, no is a complete sentence. 00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:24.399 No, period. 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:25.039 That's it. 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:26.320 We don't need the explanation. 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:32.879 Now, out of respect, we can give people an explanation, but we don't need to give people an explanation if we don't want to, right? 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:34.399 No is a complete sentence. 00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:39.919 Obviously, always the caveat is that you're doing it with pure intentions, that you're coming from a place of love and understanding and compassion. 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:42.559 You're not trying to manipulate or harm somebody else. 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:51.919 But with all of that said, I just was really reminded this morning the power of being embodied of the nervous system work. 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:53.759 Like again, the six codes, right? 00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:54.799 The six embodiment codes. 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:56.559 I'm still like figure out what I want to call them. 00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:01.039 It's originally the six codes for um authentic alignment, but then I like the embodiment piece. 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:04.639 So I think we're we're going with the six, six embodiment codes. 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:05.039 I like that. 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:06.320 The six embodiment codes. 00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:11.279 Um, I'm also creating a PDF that should be available, hopefully, by the time this podcast goes out. 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:17.120 If it is available, I will link it down below, just going over the six codes, and then you'll have some journaling space, practice space. 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:19.039 But the first one is nervous system regulation. 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:24.399 So whatever you're going through, whatever you're meeting in whatever space that you're in, really pulling on those. 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.080 Like I, and again, this is what works for me. 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:32.080 So always use discernment, see what works for you, what you want to implement. 00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:33.600 This is my specific practice. 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:35.440 This is what I have found to work for me. 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:38.000 I'm kind of one of those bigger go-home type of people. 00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:40.960 And if I'm not going big, then I tend to lose interest. 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.360 And so for me, I'm meditating every morning. 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:45.039 I'm meditating every single evening. 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.840 So that's my two big chunks of 20 minutes and 20 minutes. 00:10:48.000 --> 00:11:00.159 And then every day after the gym, and when I'm in the sauna, I drop in for three minutes to reset myself, to kind of regulate myself, um, and just to like do some energetic hygiene, right? 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.120 Um, from being around people and having to be around people a lot. 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:04.720 And so that's sort of like my space. 00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:07.519 But again, that nervous system regulation is absolute key. 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:20.080 And so when it makes it easier then when you're confronting situations or or places or people or whatever it is that would activate you in the past, that then you can dip into that nervous system regulation tool. 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:26.080 And I already know what practice I'm gonna be doing before I have to engage in this specific situation. 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:34.480 But also instead of ruminating or instead of focusing on, oh my gosh, this is gonna happen, or what if this happens, or what if they act like that, or what if they say that, or what, right? 00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:35.919 Like all that bullshit. 00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:37.840 Instead, I can just be like, you know what? 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:39.840 It's gonna be an easy breezy hour. 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:47.519 It's gonna be over with before you know it, and I'm gonna stay in my integrity, I'm gonna stay authentic, and everybody's gonna be happy, and we're gonna go home and move on, and it's fine. 00:11:47.759 --> 00:12:02.159 I've also had two situations, and I promise we're gonna get into the uh astrology in just a minute, but I've had two situations recently that have reflected, I think, because at the time I was trying to figure out what exactly the lesson was or what it was reflecting for me. 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:18.559 But what I've come to the conclusion was it's really just showing me the work that I've done because there were two situations that have been brought up, and I'm not gonna get into them, but two different people reflected a on their end a perception that was not my story. 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.799 So their story was not my story, but they sort of projected their story onto me. 00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:32.320 And a past version of me

probably would have made myself smaller to meet them or to match their story to play into that narrative. 00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:35.120 But this version of me was I wasn't triggered. 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:46.799 Like I thought about it for a minute and I was like, huh, that's interesting that that's coming up because that's not at all the way that I intended that to come across, because I was actually really neutral about it in both situations. 00:12:47.279 --> 00:13:06.879 And also not projecting any sort of judgment back because I think an egoic part of me would have liked to have said something along the lines of, I'm not giving that focused attention, or and maybe that's my own judgment of like worrying that that would come across, being like, I'm better than you, I'm not thinking about it that way. 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:13.519 But also understanding and seeing that that narrative, their narrative, does not have to be mine. 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:14.320 And that's fine. 00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:25.919 There were two situations that I was not giving any energy to, and then they came to me and kind of reflected that I was being insensitive or I was being, I don't know, whatever. 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:33.919 And that might be the perception because I have always in the past traditionally been very reactionary, very emotional, very people pleasy. 00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:42.480 And so then when you stop being those things and you come into your own, people might think that you're cold because you're no longer catering to their needs. 00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:45.600 And so I think it's a part of the process, and that's okay. 00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:55.360 But anyway, that being said, I think that a lot of um again, October is going to be kind of a big month astrologically. 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:57.519 Again, there's, you know, some things going on. 00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:05.039 And like I said, we've had the last, I don't know, week or so to just sort of be in our own energy to decompress, to reflect. 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:10.720 And I feel like for me, in that reflection process, I've had a lot of anger and frustration come up. 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:21.440 And a little bit of defeat is kind of been coming up of this, just like I'm putting in the work and I'm not necessarily seeing anything yet. 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:24.320 And I've been reading this book on esoteric astrology. 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:32.000 And one of the things I should, you know, I should always just have my books around me all the time because I always want to like pull from them and read these little quotes. 00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:39.759 But it was something along the lines of when we are, it was the saying, okay, this is what the book said. 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:42.559 Ask and ye shall receive. 00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:44.799 Knock and the door shall be open unto you. 00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:47.519 This is the law of magnetic attraction in action. 00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:52.399

But to receive a great gift, you must be in a place within yourself that permits reception. 00:14:52.559 --> 00:15:06.399 This can only be accomplished through the sometimes painful process of elimination, which is accelerated through spiritual aspiration and practiced meditation and practice, meditation, affirmation, visual visualization, right, diet, etc. 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:12.960 So basically what this is saying, that, right, that ask and ye shall receive, knock and the door shall be open unto you. 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.320 Um, this law of magnetic magnetic attraction, right? 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:18.960 To receive a gift, to receive what we're asking for. 00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:20.639 Ask and ye shall receive. 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:32.480 When we are asking for something, we have to be in the right space, the right spiritual space, the right mind, the right frame of the right body, the right, it has to, we have to like release the things that are holding us back. 00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:34.879 We have to be in the right space, right? 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:37.759 To accept them. 00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:52.480 Because if we are not in the right space, if we are not regulating ourselves, if we're not meditating, if we're not in the right space to receive these, A, we won't even see them, or B, we're gonna be so dysregulated that we're not gonna know what to do with it, right? 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:58.480 It's really just asking for something and acknowledging and being able to hold it when it comes to you. 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.960 Because if we're not able to hold it when it comes to us, it's just gonna slip through. 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:04.720 And it's not to say it's not gonna come again. 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:15.440 But I think a lot of times in those situations, when we're asking for something, when we receive it, we don't recognize that we've received the thing that we've asked for because we're not in the right space. 00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:22.320 And so what I feel like I've been in this phase of getting right with my body, getting right with my mind, meditating. 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:35.120 I mean, with the exception of my back, which I'm figuring out, but meditating twice a day, moving my body, eating right, being in the right spiritual practice, like praying every day at night before after my meditation, I pray for a couple minutes. 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:44.000 And so all of these practices are then eliminating things from my life so that I can be in a place to receive and hold the things that I'm asking for. 00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:48.240 But there's always that period, that gap where you're sort of purifying yourself, right? 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:55.279 Which is what Virgo season was teaching us, where you're sort of purifying yourself to get into the space to be able to hold them. 00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:57.440 And so I was thinking about this the other day. 00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:01.039 I was like, am I being complacent or am I uncomfortable with peace? 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:03.039 Because I feel really peaceful in my life right now. 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:11.039 I feel there are things that, you know, are low-key stressing me out, but they're not like as I'm talking about them now, I can feel it in my body. 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:12.960 But generally, I feel good. 00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:25.759 Like I feel happy, I feel love, I feel at peace, I feel all these things that I'm not normally, I'm so normal, I'm so used to the chaos, the emotions, the highly charged whatever, the frustration, the disappointment, like all these things. 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:34.559 And so it's kind of like now that I'm not feeling that, am I being complacent or am I just not used to this level of ease and peace? 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:35.119 Right. 00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:39.519 And so I was thinking about that the other day, and then I came across that in that book. 00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:41.440 And I was like, that's what it is. 00:17:41.519 --> 00:18:01.279 It's this part of my journey and my process where I'm allowing myself to be able to hold the things that I'm asking for, to be able to recognize when they're being offered to me to come into that space and just doing the work on myself and being my authentic self and holding the space for just me, right? 00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:02.640 And and whatever that means. 00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:06.000 And and and so anyway, that's kind of what I've been going through. 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:08.960 So, okay, let's get into the astrology. 00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:15.839 So October 1st, which this episode is coming out on is it coming out on the first? 00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:16.640 What is today? 00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:17.200 I don't even know. 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:18.480 I'm recording this 31. 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:20.319 Okay, this episode's coming out on the second. 00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:26.079 So on the first, so yesterday, Mercury in Libra is square, Jupiter, and Cancer. 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:35.279 And this is really just like expanding us around relationships, around our home, around our inner world, of course, our mind, because Mercury is our mind, right? 00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:49.519 It's challenging the way that maybe we've always perceived something, especially with Giannis Retrograde and Gemini, um, is challenging the way that we've been, the way that we've always seen it's changing the way that we see things, it's changing our perception. 00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:53.759 But this is really asking us like, what do we need to see around our relationships? 00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:56.000 What is what do we want to expand on? 00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:57.599 What are we thinking differently? 00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:00.079 Maybe we want to redefine for ourselves. 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:02.240 There's something around that sort of area. 00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:10.160 And of course, for you, specifically looking where Libra and

Cancer is in your specific chart to understand how this really could apply for you. 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:13.920 For me, Libra is in my third house, cancer is in my 12th house. 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:16.240 So this is really about communicate, communication, right? 00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:18.079 This is surrendering and communicating. 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:21.680 And whether that's writing or journaling or podcasting, right? 00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:23.039 Like social media, whatever. 00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:24.400 Like these are the themes that would come up. 00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:26.079 So identifying where these are for you. 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:33.519 And of course, with any transit, it, you know, when we're speaking about the transits, this is a general overview of what it could look like. 00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:38.400 But of course, it's so individualized to you in your chart and what that looks like for you. 00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:44.079 On October 4th, uh, Venus is opposite the north node and it's conjunct the south node. 00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:55.519 So this is really asking you like, what values are are aligned, what values need to be reassessed, what habits can you put into place, what routines can you put into place to support new habits and being opposite the north node? 00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:58.960 The north node can, we can find it a little bit uncomfortable, right? 00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:02.880 Because the north node is where we're going versus where we find comfort. 00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:14.400 So, you know, specifically when it comes to Venus, what do we find pleasurable and what where are we taking that pleasure and moving into escapism versus being really practical? 00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:18.799 Because drinking and getting drunk might feel good for you, but is that actually supporting you? 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:25.200 Are you escaping the reality or the truth or whatever the thing is underneath the the like do you value that? 00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:25.680 Right? 00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:27.680 So it's kind of like asking those things. 00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:30.960 Um, or are you like more leaning into that practical, right? 00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:39.839 So again, like assessing what values and what routines and what habits, what routines and habits support our values and the way of life that we want to embody. 00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:42.160 And again, looking where these are in your chart. 00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:47.200 October 6th, Mercury moves into Scorpio, and then we have our full moon in Aries. 00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:51.039 So the full moon in Aries, Aries is happening at 10:47 p.m. 00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:54.880 Uh, it's 14 degrees of Aries, and it's happening in gate 21. 00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:58.960 Now, full moons are a time for release, for shedding. 00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:02.640 Again, full moon is when we can see clearly, things are illuminated. 00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:08.319 There's really like not a blot of there's really like nothing going on specifically with the moon itself. 00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:10.480 Like it's not aspecting anything. 00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:17.279 Um, but um oh, I have this written down in my other journal. 00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:19.039 Let me pull it up real quick. 00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:28.000 So um again, there's not a whole lot going on specifically with this moon, but when we look at Mars, it is in Scorpio. 00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:51.920 We have passed the square to Pluto that's that's behind us because Mars technically it's a wide um no it would be kind of a wide square, and it is an out of sign, or no, sorry, it is a wide conjunction with Mercury because Mercury is at zero degrees again. 00:21:52.000 --> 00:22:07.119 Mercury just moved into Scorpio, so it's at zero degrees um during this time, a wide conjunction and Mercury at zero degrees of Scorpio is square to Pluto, which is intensifying things, which we'll get into. 00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:08.960 It's it's direct the next day. 00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:17.119 But um, again, Mars being the ruler of Aries, just being in and co-ruler of Aries and Scorpio. 00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:25.519 Um, being here is you know, where are we falling into that more sort of reactionary space? 00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:27.440 Can we cop pause? 00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:28.319 Can we breathe? 00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:36.640 Can we more mind be more mindful of the words that we're saying, especially with Mercury kind of being loosely involved if you're looking at a 10-degree orb? 00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:42.319 And um, you know, Scorpio, I talked about it last week. 00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:45.680 Mars in Aries is more sort of that like toddler. 00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:47.920 I want what I want and I'm gonna do the things to get it. 00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:56.000 Whereas Mars in Scorpio is a little bit more intentional with the way it goes about things because Mars, because Scorpio is a little bit more intentional. 00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:59.359 Scorpio's a little bit more secretive, manipulative. 00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:07.200 We're gonna use that word, a little bit more um just yeah, flying under the it's it's like it watches things to see how people are gonna act. 00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:10.880 My son has a Scorpio rising and Mars on his ascendant. 00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:18.319 And I'm telling you, I always see this because and and gate 21 for him isn't his unconscious son, and that's what this one is. 00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:21.119 So I know this is gonna be um kind of a big one for him. 00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:34.160 But he's always he'll ask the same question like seven times to see if my answer has changed, to see if I'm trying to manipulate him or lie to him or like get one over on him or something, right? 00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:37.119 And and I tell like the over the weekend I got annoyed. 00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:39.519 I was like, I already answered this multiple times. 00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:42.160

Like, are you trying to like catch me in a lie? 00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:44.160 Like, I'm not gonna change my answer. 00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:46.720 But it is this trust thing that Scorpio has. 00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:51.039 Scorpio, the lesson of Scorpio is to learn to trust. 00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:53.279 And that can be really challenging, right? 00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:54.799 To learn to trust others. 00:23:54.880 --> 00:24:02.240 Because once the trust has been broken, and this is why, specifically with my son, but this is why I always come back and explain things to my kids. 00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:06.640 Like we after over the weekend, my daughter had homecoming. 00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:08.960 So she and I went out, we did got our nails done. 00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:13.599 I took her and her friends out for dinner, we got her address and all these different things, right? 00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:19.119 And so my son was like, Can we, can you and I, like once we dropped them off, can he and I go do something like get ice cream or whatever? 00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:23.359 First of all, when we got our nails done, he had like seven lollipops. 00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:26.799 He had a sprite over there, he had ice cream at my parents. 00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:30.720 Like, and I'm not, I don't, I don't like them having a whole bunch of sugar. 00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:33.279 So after the fact, he was like, Can we go get ice cream? 00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:36.240 And I was like, Well, first of all, I did spend a lot of money today. 00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:39.519 And second of all, you have had so much sugar today. 00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:43.440 And I could see how irritated he got with me, like as if I was lying to him. 00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:45.599 And I knew it was on the tip of his tongue to say. 00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:48.720 And so I just explained to him, you know, the processing behind my thoughts. 00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:54.079 I was like, I didn't lie to you, but sometimes adults, you know, everybody's entitled to change their mind. 00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:57.759 And after seeing the amount of sugar that you had today, I changed my mind, right? 00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:01.759 But I had like healthy cookies at home that were made out of like bananas as the sugar. 00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:05.279 And so I was like, when we get home, you can have one of those and we could watch a show and whatever. 00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:11.599 So I really try and explain things to them, specifically knowing that my son has this energy. 00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:13.839 But that's kind of the energy of Scorpio. 00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:18.319 Like once they think that you've lied to them, there is a different energy, right? 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:21.200 Then then they will remember that, right? 00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:25.519 They will work around that, they will get frustrated, they will not trust. 00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:29.680 It will take a lot for Scorpio to trust you after you've broken the

trust. 00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:32.720 So that's sort of like that energy of the moon in there. 00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:37.039 And then again, that gate 21, which is, and Mercury moving into Scorpio, right? 00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:38.799 This just intensifies our mind. 00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:45.440 This is bringing our mind onto the things of the occult, the taboo, the things that we're not supposed to talk about, sex, right? 00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:47.759 Sex, drugs, rock and roll, all those sorts of things. 00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:49.759 It's bringing a depth to our mind. 00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:52.559 And remember, we talked about Mercury a few episodes back. 00:25:52.640 --> 00:26:04.480 I don't remember when it was, but Mercury actually, you know, Mercury is associated with Gemini, Mercury's associated with Virgo, and it's kind of like the trickster play, light, flirty sort of energy. 00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:08.960 But Mercury holds a lot of depth because Mercury can go deep down into the underworld. 00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:16.160 And so when we look at that, you know, Mercury holds depth and Scorpio is going to bring it to those depths, right? 00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:18.319 Because Scorpio is the underworld, right? 00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:22.720 It's Hades, it's Pluto, it's it is that archetype in there, it's all that dark stuff. 00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:32.720 And so, kind of, you know, with Mercury being there, that's where the mind is gonna be for the next however long um Mercury is in uh Scorpio. 00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:36.079 I have it down here somewhere where it moves into Sagittarius on the 29th. 00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:39.599 Um, and so so again, that full moon, that's what Mars is doing. 00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:43.599 Mercury is actually the esoteric ruler of Aries, which is interesting. 00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:48.240 And with the moon being in Aries, so bringing up Mercury felt important, knowing that. 00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:50.480 So this is also happening again in gate 21. 00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:52.799 Gate 21 is the gate of control. 00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:54.960 The shadow is of control. 00:26:55.200 --> 00:27:01.440 The gift, um, the gift is of uh oh my gosh, authenticity, uh, authority. 00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:03.920 Sorry, the gift is of authority, the city is valor. 00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:07.039 So valor means great courage in the face of danger, right? 00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:08.720 So life is gonna test you. 00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:22.000 And the the balance, the challenge, the offering with gate 21 is to release control while staying in your own authority, right? 00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:30.000 The gift of your authority comes when you give up control and you come inside of yourself, giving up control of the external, right? 00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:34.160 Like we talked about in the very beginning of this episode, you cannot control a whole lot in life. 00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:38.640 And when you're trying to like so tightly grab onto things,

and think about your children, right? 00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:45.920 If you're a parent, if you are so authoritarian, authoritarian, author, whatever the word I'm looking for, authoritarian? 00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:47.279 Is that the word I'm looking for? 00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:52.160 When you're so uh disciplined with them, when they can't do anything, right? 00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:54.720 Authoritarian, uh there's a word I'm looking for. 00:27:54.799 --> 00:28:00.240 And I and anyway, besides the point, when you have too much discipline, your kids rebel. 00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:04.079 But then when you don't have any discipline, then they also go the opposite direction. 00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:08.799 So it's finding that balance of discipline, control, and then surrender and letting them be. 00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:12.799 Like your kids are your there are, they are their own unique human beings. 00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:15.680 And there's an energy of leadership held within Gate 21. 00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:17.279 And it's like it's trusting. 00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:20.000 It's trusting that, you know, think about your kids. 00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:29.680 Like I have, I will give you, I will help you and guide you and set values for you and hopefully instill like all these things and also understand that I cannot control you. 00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:34.880 So I have to hope that I've instilled the right values and I'm here as a support and a guide. 00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:38.319 And then when you go on and do your own thing, you'll make the right choice choices. 00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:41.279 But like at some point as a parent, you have to let it go. 00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:43.519 And you cannot control your kids, right? 00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:44.960 That's just not the way that it works. 00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:53.279 So that's sort of the energy of this full moon, and we'll definitely get more into it the week of, or actually, no, because it's it's happening on Monday. 00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:57.519 But if you join the inner mother collective, we have our full moon circle on Saturday. 00:28:57.599 --> 00:28:58.960 Um, that's going to be happening. 00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:02.480 Uh, and of course, check the substack because I will have a post out for that. 00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:05.920 On the 7th, uh, Mercury and Scorpio is square Pluto. 00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:07.680 So this is intensity of the mind, right? 00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:10.559 Ego death of the mind, darkness and depth. 00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:14.160 That again, that control because Pluto comes into play here. 00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:20.480 And so we might have our mind focused on this sense of wanting or seeking or needing to control things. 00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:25.599 So we are really gonna have to like tap into that surrender piece with these transits. 00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:29.119 On the seventh, Venus is opposite Saturn. 00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:35.279 Now, Venus is pleasure, Venus is values, Venus is beauty, aesthetics, material. 00:29:35.599 --> 00:29:38.319 Saturn is restriction, Saturn is boundaries, right? 00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:41.920 So are you losing your pleasure to material things, right? 00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:43.839 Venus is again, it's about pleasure. 00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:49.279 What you find pleasurable, Saturn is practical, traditional, and it also holds a lot of boundaries. 00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:52.799 And so, even with this being in Pisces, right? 00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:59.359 Again, sort of back to that question that we had earlier with uh Venus opposite the north node in Pisces. 00:29:59.519 --> 00:29:59.839 It is. 00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:04.799 Like, are you losing yourself to the pleasure? 00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:05.039 Right. 00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:07.119 So Saturn can actually be supportive here. 00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:20.480 Because if we're losing ourself to that, the pleasure of um escapist of sex, of alcohol, whatever it is, to the extreme, Saturn is coming in and reeling it back a little bit and being like, hey, let's come back here. 00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:25.279 Um, let's implement some some uh control, not control. 00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:26.640 What's the one I'm looking for? 00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:28.720 Um, discipline, self-discipline, right? 00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:30.480 Because Saturn is just discipline. 00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:33.599 Um let's get practical, realistic, and sort of like rein it in a little bit. 00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:37.279 So of course there's a duality in everything, but that could be part of the energy here. 00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:43.200 Um, on the 13th, Venus moves into Libra, it's opposite Neptune, and then Pluto stations direct. 00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:44.799 So Pluto has been retrograde. 00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:47.920 Venus moving into Libra, Venus rules Libra. 00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:52.720 So now we're focusing on our relationships, our relationships as mirrors, right? 00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:56.480 What are we seeing reflected back to us and what does that reflect about ourselves? 00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:03.519 Because Venus is values, and we find what we value in the mirror that is reflected in the relationships that we choose, right? 00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:17.279 So whatever relationship that you're feeling triggered or whatever, or even the relationships that you're so happy in you're in love, like it's reflecting something back to you, and you will see the things that you value based on the relationships that you choose to surround yourself with and in. 00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:20.480 So that is the big theme of Venus in Libra. 00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:22.880 Now, opposite to Neptune, this is dreamy. 00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:29.839 This is again that escapist stuff, this is a little delusional, you're off in the clouds, kind of like hopeless romantic sort of energy. 00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:39.839 Although Venus and Libra is a little bit more refined than Venus in Taurus, which is a little

bit more that like wild woman archetype, at least like that's what I sort of uh associate with Venus in Taurus. 00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:45.039 Um Venus and Taurus to me is really more that like Aphrodite type of um energy. 00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:53.680 But when we think about that, I think of the sculptor or the the sculptor, the uh oh my gosh, why are words escaping me right now? 00:31:53.920 --> 00:32:06.960 The the sculptor, you know what I'm talking about, the the the thing of Aphrodite with like there's no arms, the the oh my gosh, it's driving me crazy right now. 00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:08.480 Anyway, you know what I'm talking about. 00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:17.519 That archetype, the thing that that has Aphrodite, the the actual art piece to it, that's Libra, right? 00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:32.640 The aesthetic, the beauty, the art, the creation of is Libra, but the actual energy of that sort of like wild, pleasurable, like the the woman in like the flowy clothes and like being really sensuous, and that's Taurus, right? 00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:33.920 So that's kind of the difference there. 00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:36.640 Um, and then Pluto stationing direct Pluto. 00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:37.920 So I would have to look. 00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:51.440 I don't actually know if it's out of bounds now, but Pluto is doing this like out of bounds things, which really just means Pluto is not acting traditional according to Pluto, but Pluto is going direct in Aquarius now, so we're now, you know, we're in Pluto and Aquarius. 00:32:51.519 --> 00:33:01.119 We were kind of dipping back and forth, but we're now in Pluto and Aquarius, so now it's gonna be moving forward, and it's still in this little minor triangle with Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus. 00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:21.440 Um, and so you know, and as things are entering Aquarius, um, and and um yeah, as things are entering Scorpio, rather, fixed signs uh in Libra, we're gonna be in this little so when Venus is now in Libra, Venus is gonna be aspecting all these little um this little minor triangle. 00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:24.480 Um on the 14th, uh that's exactly what it said. 00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:26.559 Venus enters a little my minor triangle, right? 00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:28.319 With Uranus, Pluto, and Neptune. 00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:35.440 So Venus is gonna be trying to Uranus and Nep trying to Uranus and Pluto and opposite to Neptune, right? 00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:36.880 We just had that opposition. 00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:39.519 And so the trine is really supportive, right? 00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:41.200 So Uranus and Pluto. 00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:55.039 Venus in trying to Pluto, it's always Venus in any aspect of Pluto is bringing in intensity, it's like obsessive love, it's passion, it's pleasure, but it's like, but it's it's it's like the pleasure, passion is the word I'm looking for, right? 00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:58.160 Where it's just like we're being absorbed, like consumed with the pleasure of things. 00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:02.799 Like when I read my little fantasy books, like I'm so sucked into the passion of that. 00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:03.599 And I feel it. 00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:05.440 I'm like, oh my gosh, like that's what I want. 00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:07.279 But also like knowing that that's not healthy. 00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:11.039 So that's sort of like that energy and the themes I can come up with that, right? 00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:14.960 Uranus again is is shock, it's truth, it's the great awakener. 00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:22.320 So we're being asked to see something that maybe we didn't see before, specifically when it comes to our relationships and our values with Venus being involved. 00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:26.480 On the 20th, Mercury is conjunct Mars in Scorpio. 00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:29.039 This is combining our thoughts and our actions. 00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:38.960 So again, like being really aware of what you're saying, taking that pause before the frustration just comes out because that's like the energy of Mars, is that masculine energy, but it's the action piece. 00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:41.199 It's like I know what I want and this is what I'm gonna do to get it. 00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:42.559 And then bringing Mercury in there. 00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:46.079 Mercury is our mind, Mercury is our words, Mercury is communication. 00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:47.840 Mercury is a little bit trickster. 00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:50.079 So when we talk about like it's the thief. 00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:52.880 So when we talk about Scorpio, that's a little bit more manipulative. 00:34:53.039 --> 00:35:00.320 Now we're bringing in our mind that's a little bit sneaky and sly to like appease or to serve the Scorpio energy. 00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:01.920 So just being aware of that. 00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:07.840 Like, what are you acting on that might be perceived as deceptive, possibly? 00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:12.639 Um, and just sort of like just noticing if anything comes up with that. 00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:21.280 On the 21st, uh, Mercury enters enters its shadow phase on the 21st, and then we have our new moon in Libra, which is happening at 7:25 a.m. 00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:24.320 in at 28 degrees of Libra in gate 50. 00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:30.079 Um, it is opposite Chiron, square Jupiter, and it's an out-of-sign square to Pluto. 00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:35.280 So this is kind of like some pressure here because squares and oppositions are challenging energy. 00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:39.760 Squares are more internal challenges, oppositions are things that will come to you from outside. 00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:41.360 So we have to learn to balance. 00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:47.199 So, like the moon and the sun opposite to Chiron, we're having to balance the ego and the soul, right? 00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:53.119 Like with this core wounding, that the wounding is typically going to be mirrored to us from somebody coming from the outside.

00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:56.400 Jupiter's gonna be expanding this, Pluto's gonna bring the intensity. 00:35:56.480 --> 00:35:57.840 So this one can be a little bit more intense. 00:35:58.079 --> 00:36:00.480 Gate 50 is the gate of values. 00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:04.159 Um, and so again, just like which is so Libra, right? 00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:05.440 Like, what do we value? 00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:07.440 Are we afraid of responsibility? 00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:14.320 Um, because gate 50 is in the spleen, so there's always an energy of fear with anything in the spleen, but like, are we being are we afraid of responsibility? 00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:15.760 Um, how are we showing up? 00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:17.119 What values are we putting out? 00:36:17.199 --> 00:36:17.840 What do we value? 00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:19.679 Like, really, all those sorts of questions are coming in. 00:36:19.760 --> 00:36:21.840 And we'll get more into this as it comes closer. 00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:24.639 And of course, Substack will always have something on there. 00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:28.239 Instagram, TikTok, I'll always be talking about all those places as well. 00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:34.800 On the 22nd, Neptune retrogrades back into Pisces and the sun moves into Scorpio. 00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:36.159 I don't know why. 00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:41.760 I like Scorpio traditionally has been a really intense season for me. 00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:43.679 And but lately, I don't know. 00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:46.960 I'm just as I was like doing this, I was like, I was actually really excited. 00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:54.719 Like the sun and Scorpio, this is like Scorpio season is like when the thin is the veil, the veil is the thinnest veilest, the veil is the thinnest, right? 00:36:54.800 --> 00:36:57.599 You think about Halloween, Sam, Sam Wayne. 00:36:57.679 --> 00:36:59.119 I'm probably mispronounced that. 00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:02.159 Um, but the thin, the veil is thin, right? 00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:03.519 This is testing us. 00:37:03.599 --> 00:37:09.039 This is bringing up darkness, occult, taboo, all the things we're not supposed to talk about: sex, drugs, rock and roll, like all those things. 00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:11.199 I have Jupiter and Pisces in my eighth house. 00:37:11.280 --> 00:37:13.840 So I'm just am so expanded by all of those things. 00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:17.679 It's like one of my favorite topics to talk about. 00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:20.880 Um, and I need to bring it more to the podcast because I just like I love it. 00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:25.599 I've had some episodes in here with like sex therapists and things like that. 00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:28.079 Um, but anyway, so that's happening. 00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:33.039 The sun is moving into Scorpio, so that's gonna be the theme of of the next season. 00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:36.000 And Neptune again going back into Pisces. 00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:40.960 What has been coming up over the time that Neptune has been

in Pisces, right? 00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:42.079 What are we leaving behind? 00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:44.000 What are we then, what are we escaping? 00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:47.519 What escapist habits are we or tendencies are we leaning into? 00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:49.760 Where are we losing ourselves, right? 00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:51.360 Like, what are we taking into Aries? 00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:56.400 Because again, when Saturn and Neptune move back into Aries together, this is huge. 00:37:56.480 --> 00:37:59.519 And that's going to be happening in February, I believe. 00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:02.719 Um, this is like kind of dark night of the soul energy, right? 00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:03.920 So we're going through this. 00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:07.760 Now we're kind of like we moved into Ariel Aries with Neptune, which is action. 00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:09.519 It's like the this the spiritual warrior. 00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:13.440 Now we're kind of dipping back into Pisces where we're sort of like can't see it again, right? 00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:17.440 We're we're back into this place where it's we're kind of like back in the womb. 00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:18.960 We can't quite see clearly anymore. 00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:20.880 So it's like, what are the things that are coming up? 00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:23.840 And the 24th, uh, the sun is squirted. 00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:28.239 Pluto, this is again ego versus like that soul sort of. 00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:41.440 Um, you know, when we talk about Pluto and Mars as rulers of Scorpio, Mars is more that like ego anger, ego rage, sort of, and Pluto is more like that soul underneath it, right? 00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:45.199 So um, you know, the sun being represented by the ego, right? 00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:46.480 It's the brightest thing in the sky. 00:38:46.559 --> 00:38:48.079 Um, it is our core essence as well. 00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:54.719 And then Pluto, again, is bringing that intensity, it's bringing in the transformation, the alchemization, the healing, right? 00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:59.840 So, yes, it's a square and it's challenging, but in every shadow, there holds a gift, right? 00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:05.440 So in every challenge, there holds a gift and a lesson and an opportunity for healing. 00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:06.880 So noticing what's coming up there. 00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:12.400 And then finally, on October 29th, Mercury enters Sagittarius, but remember it's in its shadow phase. 00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:17.519 So it's on November 9th, it's dipping back into Scorpio, or it's turning retrograde November 9th. 00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:21.679 Um, and it'll go back to, I think it was about 20 degrees of uh Scorpio. 00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:25.119 And it's gonna be opposite to Uranus in Gemini. 00:39:25.519 --> 00:39:27.519 And so this is challenging our minds. 00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:29.920 Again, what are we seeing differently? 00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:31.519 What are we perceiving differently? 00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:34.079 What is shifting in the way that we're viewing the world? 00:39:34.320 --> 00:39:36.400 Gem Mercury rules Gemini. 00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:39.360 So this is uh, oh my gosh, what is the term called? 00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:42.000 There's a term for it in astrology, and I'm blanking on it. 00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:45.519 Um, but again, this is asking really big questions. 00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:53.440 So Mercury doesn't necessarily like to be in Sagittarius because because it rules Gemini, it's more the fact-finding, it's more the analytics. 00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:57.760 Whereas Sagittarius is like the big questions, the philosophical questions. 00:39:57.920 --> 00:39:58.960 The who am I? 00:39:59.199 --> 00:40:00.159 What am I here for? 00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:01.199 What is my purpose? 00:40:01.440 --> 00:40:03.760 That's sort of what this energy is revolving around. 00:40:03.840 --> 00:40:07.679 So we might have that with again this sort of like light, playful energy. 00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:12.800 And again, Mercury can go deep, but it doesn't necessarily like to be in Sagittarius. 00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:14.480 So what are you seeing, right? 00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:16.000 Like what are the thoughts that are coming in? 00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:17.840 What are the big questions that are circling around? 00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:21.280 Maybe you know that you don't have to answer them right now, just sit with them. 00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:25.039 What are you being forced or shocked into seeing the truth of, right? 00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:28.000 With this opposition to Gemini or Uranus. 00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:31.599 And remember, oppositions tend to come to us from outside of us. 00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:40.320 So is someone coming and mirroring something back to you that maybe you don't want to see, or maybe you need to see, or maybe you need to question yourself. 00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:44.079 Um, but that's the big transits. 00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:46.079 I mean, that's most of the transits for this month. 00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:51.519 I think I skipped a few of them, um, a few little ones, but that's the big energy of the month. 00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:56.239 I do have to run and pick up my kids now, otherwise I would probably keep going. 00:40:56.480 --> 00:40:59.119 But again, thank you so much for being here for listening. 00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:05.760 Follow me on Instagram, follow me on TikTok, Substack, YouTube, all of the places, all of the ways, right now in the show notes. 00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:08.000 I will speak to you again soon.
