1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,040 All righty, it is the Awake Space Astrology podcast. 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,920 I'm Lori Rivers, your host here to help you with some 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:14,160 inspiration to get those aspirations out into the. 4 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:20,520 World this podcast is being. Recorded live in Patreon. 5 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:27,360 And to answer Maria's lovely question, Hello Lori. 6 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:32,880 How are you? Well, it's 2:37 AM mountain 7 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,680 time. I spent all day being meticulous 8 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:41,960 in my recording only to find out I had technical problems. 9 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,440 No matter what I did to try to fix that audio, it wasn't 10 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,440 getting fixed. So we're doing it all over again 11 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,000 and I get to do it with you. How exciting. 12 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,800 I didn't go to the studio to record it, thank God, because I 13 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,720 would have been really frustrated because Sir Malcolm 14 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:10,160 isn't feeling very well. He is 13 years old and his hips 15 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,440 are hurting and he's been wanting to be very attached to 16 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,080 the Mama. So we'll get him into the vet 17 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,960 and get him some pain meds because at his age, I wouldn't 18 00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:26,880 put him into surgery. So but there we go. 19 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,320 So good morning, good morning, good morning. 20 00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:33,880 Happy Monday, everybody. And we are recording alive. 21 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:43,000 So I had plans for this podcast and you know what they say the 22 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:50,840 best laid plans go to waste, but we will definitely talk about 23 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,440 the exactly what I was going to talk about on the podcast. 24 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,200 And one of those things is, is I had a wonderful conversation 25 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,960 with Maverick Choice, who has been a member of this community 26 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,440 for years now as an astrology student of mine. 27 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,840 Sorry I'm old. They are an amazing holistic 28 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,960 therapist and coach and they're starting a coaching program. 29 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:24,000 And I invited them to talk about the the danger of being overly 30 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:31,640 attached to the pathology of a label and how you can turn your 31 00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:35,040 neurodivergence into a superpower with time and care. 32 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,960 And she's got a six month program coming. 33 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,800 That interview will be up. It doesn't start until December, 34 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,320 the program. And so we'll get it up and get 35 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:50,080 it in the position it deserves. Love Maverick to pieces. 36 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,560 And it's been a joy to watch them in their journey and their 37 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:59,120 understandings and unfoldings and how they synthesize all of 38 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,400 the beautiful teachings they've been studying. 39 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,720 And they inspired me. And I was thinking about the 40 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,360 language I use when I talk about training your mercury and how 41 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:17,000 that could be discouraging to people with an ADHD diagnosis or 42 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,720 an autism or a spectrum diagnosis or any kind of 43 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:27,120 learning challenge. And I meditated after our 44 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,040 conversation and I thought, how can I find better language to 45 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:36,280 talk about how to adapt your thinking? 46 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,320 And the word that came to me instead of training or 47 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,200 discipline, which neither one of those are negative words to me. 48 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,800 They excite me 'cause that's how my little neurodivergent brain 49 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:57,280 works. It's like new stuff and you guys 50 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,640 are witnessing my discipline, as I say here, rerecording the 51 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,880 podcast and the word that came to me was tuning. 52 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,000 So I want to ask the audience, what do you think of the term 53 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,800 tuning your mercury? What do you think of that 54 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:22,120 instead of training? I think it's a it's a smoother 55 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,040 term. It feels smoother. 56 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:31,040 I have synesthesia, so words feel and have texture. 57 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,080 Yeah. You love the Yes as an ex 58 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,960 violinist. Yeah. 59 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,120 And that's what I was thinking of tuning an instrument or 60 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,680 finding your pitch. Yeah. 61 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,720 And so because our Natal Mercury is. 62 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,400 How? We process input, and not just 63 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,200 words and thoughts, but also textures. 64 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:02,680 It's how we perceive, and it's how we output our understanding 65 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,360 of perception. Right? 66 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,880 Yeah, you can tune the radio. And thoughts are frequencies of 67 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,680 energy. We have thought waves, we have 68 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,560 thought patterns, right? And there's energetic 69 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:24,040 frequencies. The sign your Mercury is in and 70 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,200 the house your mercury is in describes. 71 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,960 How you? Best receive and transmit 72 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:37,520 information blocks of thought because thoughts are energy and 73 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:43,920 by learning to tune to the frequency that is the preferred 74 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:51,040 one for yourself. OK, is, is a life practice, 75 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,560 right? And we all have thoughts and 76 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,600 habits that don't serve us. And those could be through 77 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,280 social cultural programming in the theosophical literature, 78 00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:10,840 they used to call it inherited, inherited thought patterns. 79 00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:15,080 And those are that's, that's just cultural and and social. 80 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,840 And it could be family patterns. And we love to blame mom and dad 81 00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:22,080 or grandma and grandpa. And maybe they do deserve some 82 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:27,480 blame, but it goes so far back. It's so far back. 83 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,520 It's hard to find the beginning of it when we think about it. 84 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:42,040 And so learning to tune into thoughts that, and I'm not 85 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,240 talking about bypassing, but just thoughts that serve us 86 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,760 better is what I'm going to be talking about today. 87 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:55,000 And the reason for that is because we have Mercury conjunct 88 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,240 Mars still, as I'm recording this with you, it was all day 89 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,920 yesterday and I was thinking it's in Scorpio. 90 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,480 Scorpio is a great time to transform and take. 91 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,320 And with Mercury conjunct Mars, that's like transformative 92 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,480 action, the the thoughts following the action and the 93 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,280 action following the thoughts. And it can be really impulsive 94 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,160 on one level, but on another, it can be a great epiphany. 95 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,400 That's a transforming epiphany. And that's what I'm hoping I 96 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,360 leave you with. So as I always say in the 97 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,840 introduction, get your tea, get your coffee, get your matcha, 98 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,640 get your Red Bull, get your H2O because it is the Awake Space 99 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:39,600 Astrology podcast and we are going to be on this ride 100 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,480 together. So whether I'm helping you get 101 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,920 the laundry done, or we're on a hot girl or a hot guy walk, or 102 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:52,760 we're settling down for a nice rest, or we're going to school 103 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:57,640 or whatever we're doing, if we're in traffic, you get a 104 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,640 beautiful bubble to help you through your commute and you'll 105 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,160 always get perfect parking because that's my special mojo. 106 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,680 Thanks to everybody for their well wishes for my buddy 107 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,880 Malcolm. A lot of times people think he's 108 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:25,080 my boyfriend, but he's actually my dog and we've been together 109 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:30,280 now for Oh my gosh, what, 12 years? 110 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,400 He's 13. He might be even older, but 111 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:41,400 that's the best guess. And he's just been he cried out 112 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,960 in pain a little bit ago, like, you know, couple days ago. 113 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,440 He doesn't whine or cry. And so again, I'll get him into 114 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,400 the vet and we'll get him some some pain medication or 115 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,400 something because he was a jumping fool when he was a young 116 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,120 dog and he hasn't been jumping a lot over the last four years. 117 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,480 But he didn't complain much either. 118 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:10,680 So he's a very stoic terrier and he's been not feeling his best. 119 00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:12,960 So thanks for the Reiki, thanks for the love. 120 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:18,600 And and he spent the day with me today because he didn't want me 121 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,360 to go. And I do accommodate my dog and 122 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,000 it didn't ruin my day. I'm going to tell you that 123 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,840 because I am blessed to have this guy with me for the many 124 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,400 years that I have, and I'm going to accommodate the crap out of 125 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,440 him. He is a Taurus. 126 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,520 He is. And being uncomfortable isn't 127 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:44,600 good, So, but he's eating, he's drinking, he's doing all the 128 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,600 biological functions. So he's doing good, just getting 129 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,040 old. And I'm not there yet myself. 130 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,360 But my mother, she was like, yeah, I know what that feels 131 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,080 like. So we're going to just treat him 132 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,840 up and make him feel better. So thank you for your patience. 133 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,640 And I think it's kind of fun to record the podcast together as a 134 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,480 treat. The. 135 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:19,040 Audio drivers in my computer were the problem, even though I 136 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:24,040 bought, you know, a new mic for the Home Office, a new sound 137 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:30,120 interface, and I was still having so much noise and no 138 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:37,280 amount of editing was fixing it. So yeah, so. 139 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:46,120 But anyway, so I always say consciousness expresses in a 140 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:52,840 spectrum and I've been trying to think of practical ways of, of 141 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:58,160 positing this to people and, and helping you really understand. 142 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:03,440 You're never, ever stuck. You know, you, you, you can tune 143 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,920 your tuner to frequencies that are more minimal. 144 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,480 I last week I talked about the tug of war. 145 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,600 This week I want to talk about the transformations and 146 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,480 transformations are are done in small incremental steps. 147 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,160 We don't ever want to make a giant leap because again, go 148 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,120 back to last week's episode and we were talking about bouncing 149 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:31,840 around in our consciousness, but learning to question ourselves 150 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:36,440 and use discernment towards ourselves. 151 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:48,240 You know, if you have thought patterns that are less than 152 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:54,640 helpful for yourself. Like I'm all alone, I nobody 153 00:11:54,640 --> 00:12:02,040 gets me, I'm weird, I'm a freak, I'm too much, I'm not good 154 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:07,600 enough. I'm the only one, you know, I'm 155 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,160 afraid of rejection. In fact, that's something 156 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,640 Maverick and I talked about was rejection sensitivity and, and 157 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:19,680 how to kind of work through that really, really powerful 158 00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:21,520 interview. So I can't wait to get it up for 159 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,920 you guys and those repetitive. Thoughts. 160 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,160 We have are habits OK? Doesn't mean they aren't true. 161 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,840 They can be true in a certain reality, but that doesn't mean 162 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,320 it's the only reality we can experience. 163 00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:41,800 And so when we have these repetitive thought patterns, we 164 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,120 can ask ourselves a few questions. 165 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,680 And this is something you learn to practice in the mystery 166 00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,280 school curriculum. You know you can. 167 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,240 Ask yourself. Those same coaching questions we 168 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,080 do in the hot seat, You know, where does this feel in my body? 169 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:04,720 How, how is this serving me? Not in Not in a judgmental or 170 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,280 condescending way. We don't want to beat ourselves 171 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:12,360 up that that defeats the purpose of investigation, but in a 172 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,880 curiosity way, like how is this serving me? 173 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,640 How is this helping me? What is this doing for me? 174 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,920 Is this to my benefit? Is thinking this thought really 175 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,560 doing me any favors? You know, how else could I look 176 00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:32,240 at this? You know, just like if, if you 177 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,640 have a hard time learning something, it it doesn't mean 178 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,640 you can't ever learn it, it just you don't know everything right 179 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:45,720 now. And so when we. 180 00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:51,680 When we. Learn to self examine our 181 00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:55,440 thoughts and be like wow I think that thought a lot. 182 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:01,640 I wonder how I could change just a little bit of that. 183 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,080 Like, man, I'm never going to get it. 184 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,640 This is too hard. Maybe. 185 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,680 What can I do differently? Right. 186 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,480 Yeah, exactly. Danny says the thought forms can 187 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,640 be strong. They can, especially if they're 188 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,720 well practiced. And I remember your tip of 189 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,800 adding yet. So like, I'm never going to get 190 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,160 it. Well, I I might get it. 191 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,040 I just haven't gotten it yet. And notice how you just like 192 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,080 you're weakening that very strong thought for him, right. 193 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:42,440 And Katie says that she used those coaching questions all the 194 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,040 time in the mystery school for the win. 195 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,960 Yeah, it's it's a great self actualizing process. 196 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:56,920 The New Moon in Libra is coming up on the 21st, and that's one 197 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,040 of the things that got me thinking about this as well. 198 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,160 We've got Mercury conjunct Mars and Scorpio. 199 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,920 This is a great time to take action on transforming our 200 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,200 thinking. Don't think you're going to get 201 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,960 it all at once or not. I still work on myself. 202 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,040 I've been doing this stuff for decades, you know, like decades, 203 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:21,160 and I'll still find less than useful thoughts popping up that 204 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,800 I have to be like, hey, what's going on with that? 205 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,160 Yeah, but how can I think about this differently? 206 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,520 How long do I want to feel this way? 207 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,240 That's one of my favorite coaching questions with clients 208 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,480 is that they're like, I'm really pissed, you know? 209 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,360 Like, you're really pissed. Well, you sound really pissed, 210 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:42,760 you know? Yeah. 211 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,760 Well, how long do you want to be there? 212 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,320 And that's usually shocking to somebody because everybody's 213 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,960 trying to get you not to be angry or not to be frustrated or 214 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,360 not. And. 215 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,480 And does it give somebody permission to say, hey, well, 216 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,320 yeah, I I kind of want to be mad for the next hour. 217 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,280 OK. You want to set a timer for 218 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,320 that? And then how do you want to feel 219 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,880 after that? What do you want to do with it? 220 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,160 Because it's OK to feel any feeling, whether it's fear, 221 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:23,520 grief, pain, right? You feel all the feelings. 222 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,600 It's languishing in them. And I used to say luxuriating in 223 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:36,520 them because as a Cancer sun, Cancer Mercury, we can mope 224 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,680 pretty well. And so it's sometimes it does 225 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,880 feel good to wallow a little bit in the muck and have a pity 226 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:49,120 party and, and eat some emergency carbs and luxuriate in 227 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,280 it. It's human. 228 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,000 But do we want to live there all the time? 229 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,200 No, it leads to bad personal hygiene. 230 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:01,720 And that's a joke. But the Libra new moon is that 231 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:06,880 28 degrees 21 minutes of Libra. It's at the very end of the 232 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:11,319 sign. It's a very matured new moon and 233 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:17,000 it's in the third day can notice how carefully I pronounced that 234 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:23,680 because this will be downloaded. Hopefully captions will be put 235 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:30,160 in, but anyway, so be in the third day can, which is governed 236 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,240 by Gemini, which is governed by Mercury. 237 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,760 And so to set the intentions and we'll do the intention setting 238 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:43,600 guide later before the new Moon. We want to have really clear 239 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,200 thoughts and I've got to, we'll move into the new moon talking a 240 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:55,400 little bit, but we want to have really clear understanding of 241 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,080 our intentions for this. Not that they won't work if we 242 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,480 don't, but we want to. Come to them with. 243 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:07,080 Curiosity cause Mercury and Mercury ruling. 244 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:16,510 Gemini is curious. It's very curious. 245 00:18:16,710 --> 00:18:19,710 What does this button do? I wonder how this could. 246 00:18:19,710 --> 00:18:22,670 Work. I wonder what else I could do. 247 00:18:23,030 --> 00:18:30,720 I wonder how can I approach this in a different way, so when my 248 00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:35,480 software and my sound wasn't working. 249 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,360 At first. My stubbornness came in and I 250 00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:41,120 was like, I'm not going to rerecord. 251 00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:47,160 Spent all day recording. Like hell am I going to record 252 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,600 again. Those were my thoughts. 253 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:55,320 Well, guess what I'm doing at 2:56 AM Mountain Time on Monday 254 00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,680 the 20th of October. I'm rerecording in my Patreon 255 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:07,520 because I don't trust anything for right now and I guess AWS is 256 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,360 down. I said there'd be Internet 257 00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:13,600 disturbances, so we're doing it on my phone and I'm doing it in 258 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:19,480 Patreon because I sat there after updating all the drivers 259 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,920 I've already. Bought new equipment? 260 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,800 I haven't been happy with the sound. 261 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,680 I knew it wasn't, not the microphones. 262 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:33,280 And I was like, what else can I do? 263 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,040 What resources do I have? And that's how I walked. 264 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,400 Out. Very quickly from the 265 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:45,120 frustration to taking action. Was what do I have that I can 266 00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:46,360 use? Well, I've got Patreon. 267 00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:50,920 And I don't think any patron is going to complain about being 268 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:58,640 available while I record this. So gets to be a treat, right? 269 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:05,000 So that's some of the things we can do is come with curiosity. 270 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,480 What else do I have? What resources do I have? 271 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,520 What can I? Do differently. 272 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:18,160 These are all good questions to ask ourselves with Curiosity as 273 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,880 we move towards the New Moon on the 21st. 274 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:28,800 And Mercury will still be an orb to Mars. 275 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,160 And we'll do. Actually, I'll just go through 276 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:39,360 the New Moon Special podcast in this live recording and I'll 277 00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:42,320 just edit it to be a separate file. 278 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,840 How's that? We'll just. 279 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,680 Get it all done now. Sometimes you have to punt and 280 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,760 sometimes you have to laugh through it, but yeah, see, there 281 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,920 you go. I have no complaints in the chat 282 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,440 here and it's actually kind of fun for me to have an audience 283 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,360 anyway. But sometimes why it takes me 284 00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:10,320 longer to record 'cause I TuneIn kind of to the audience. 285 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,640 Like I, I try to tune in, like, what do people really need? 286 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,600 But what would be soothing for them? 287 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:23,080 What would people enjoy? How can I help them get through 288 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:28,920 the week differently, You know? And so, yeah, I'm writing on the 289 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,280 cosmic waves, I can tell you that much. 290 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:40,160 It's at this point I had to tune up pretty high, No substances, 291 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:46,480 just just my thoughts. And I'm glad I've got a comment 292 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,400 here from Laura saying couldn't sleep and this is soothing. 293 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,640 So I'm glad to hopefully put you to sleep. 294 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,840 I've got another extra that I'll put in as well. 295 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:06,120 I came up with a meditation that will help people tune their 296 00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:09,160 mercuries. Tune your mind. 297 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:14,320 When we look at esoteric literature, metaphysical 298 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:20,960 literature, the energy work side of things, learning how to tune 299 00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:27,760 your mind is essential because too. 300 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:33,880 Often. There is this compulsion to move 301 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,880 with frequencies that don't service. 302 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,800 That's how we can be manipulated. 303 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,720 That's how we get told we're deficient. 304 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:45,120 We're not enough. Look at every single commercial 305 00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:49,200 telling you you're not thin enough, you're not pretty 306 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,880 enough, you're not handsome enough, you're not ripped 307 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,280 enough. You've got too many wrinkles, 308 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:59,000 you've got too much Gray hair. Look at the young people getting 309 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:05,000 Botox, you know, and they don't have any skin problems or facial 310 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,520 problems. You know, I see, you know, 20 311 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,320 year olds doing it. And unless you've got a migraine 312 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:16,680 or a reason, you know, like TMJ, you, you are beautiful. 313 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,280 You learn to see your beauty. But you know, you, they don't 314 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,760 make any money off that. In spiritual quote UN quote 315 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:30,240 spiritual circles, so often there is misinformation taught 316 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,880 because somebody's on an ego trip and they want followers. 317 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:40,320 I am reluctant in this position. Very reluctant. 318 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,440 I was actually really happy living a fairly monastic life. 319 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,760 Meaning, give me my books and my studies and my practices. 320 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,680 I love to teach, but I don't want followers. 321 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,720 I want people who want to grow and learn and expand. 322 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,680 And if I can share something I've learned, great. 323 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:07,120 And then go off and prosper and gather and spread it yourself, 324 00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:13,720 you know? And so when we learn to manage 325 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,600 our consciousness, that's another word for tuning our 326 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,920 mercury. It's understanding how to notice 327 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,160 where we're at. And. 328 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:30,440 How to switch it up into a space that serves us better? 329 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:36,040 Sometimes being in a self defensive consciousness is 330 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:41,400 worthy and necessary because sometimes we do have to defend 331 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,360 ourselves. And sometimes in defending 332 00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:47,160 ourselves, we show other people. 'S self advocacy. 333 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:54,160 Other times it's good to be in a, you know, transactional 334 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,040 mindset, which is our social conditioning because if you're 335 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:03,440 going to the grocery store and you're just walking through and 336 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:08,320 you're saying superficial hellos and nodding to neighbors, that's 337 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,200 a social contract. And, and it's OK, they said hi, 338 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,880 I'm going to say hi back. There's nothing wrong with that. 339 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:21,440 And then other times we might want to double think of how 340 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,200 we're responding and we're not on a default program and we want 341 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,040 to be more deliberate in our consciousness. 342 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,920 I think I've decided to change it from transcendent because too 343 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,720 many people equate that with enlightenment and, and you know, 344 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,360 perfection. And, and I think just 345 00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:41,960 deliberation in our consciousness, making the 346 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:46,600 decision how I wish to respond versus react to life. 347 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,560 When we can see where we are in our consciousness, we can 348 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:58,160 observe it and decide, is this where I want to be right now? 349 00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:02,840 Is this how I want to feel right now? 350 00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:05,920 Is this how I want to respond right now? 351 00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:10,240 If you know, and right now there's a real tug of war going 352 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:15,440 on because we see a lot of despotism and injustice and 353 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:21,880 cruelty and, and, and heartbreaking unmerciful 354 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:30,160 behavior all over the place. And, and it's easy to be 355 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:36,280 debilitated in those thoughts. I too, I can watch those videos 356 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:42,720 and listen to the news and just feel abject grief. 357 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:48,120 And then we witnessed such beautiful actions like have what 358 00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:53,400 happened on Saturday, October 18th, and people coming out in 359 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:58,440 the hundreds of thousands, 7 million people just in this 360 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,160 country, just in the United States coming together 361 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,640 peacefully, joyfully coming together in community. 362 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,760 And we are. The tears were joyful. 363 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,320 The relief was joyful. No, it's not going to change the 364 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,960 world right now, but it let people know they weren't alone. 365 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,520 And for all of the 7 million that showed up, they had people 366 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,320 supporting them like I was teaching. 367 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,640 I couldn't go because my class started at exactly the time of 368 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,520 the protest because somebody me didn't use their noggin when 369 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,920 they scheduled it. But what was I teaching people 370 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:42,320 how to do? Use their natural rhythms to 371 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,360 make decisions in their businesses. 372 00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:47,440 And these are solar printers. These are people with small 373 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:54,680 businesses, writers, an optician, an esthetician, you 374 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,680 know, people who are one person operations with maybe some help, 375 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,880 you know, and that's how we change the world, right? 376 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:07,480 So that was my subversion that day was teaching people how to 377 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:14,480 thrive and use their own natural personal rhythms to make a 378 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,520 difference in the world and make a difference in their own life. 379 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,720 And that's great. And my parents represented at 380 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,280 the protest and met lots of young people and they were so 381 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,800 excited young people were there this time because last time 382 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:33,800 there wasn't so many young people and they protested, you 383 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,840 know, things like Vietnam too. So they're old aunts. 384 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:45,720 So it's important to understand with the current energies, we 385 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,560 don't want to stay in that despair. 386 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,240 That's how they defeat us. They rob us of joy. 387 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:57,320 And it can be very triggering for us who have experienced 388 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,960 abuse in any way. Because one thing abusers do is 389 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,720 they make you feel powerless. They they rob you of your joy. 390 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,480 They rob you of hope and a lot of times they'll wait till you 391 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:15,240 have a good day and then the other shoe drops and and a lot 392 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,360 of our lower psychic ability is often developed in traumatic 393 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,560 circumstances. So this can be a very triggering 394 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,000 time for people. And that's why there are those 395 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:32,680 saying your joy is the antidote because that that's what they 396 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,600 fear. Because if you are in a more 397 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,920 relaxed consciousness or a more empowered consciousness, you're 398 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:48,200 better able to make decisions for yourself and other people 399 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,800 around you. You're less likely to operate 400 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:57,160 out of fear. And that's cold comfort when 401 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,320 it's affecting your family. That's cold comfort when it's 402 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,640 directly impacting you and your community. 403 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:10,640 And yet, when we look at the great leaders in social justice 404 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:16,320 movements, every single one has talked of hope and resolve. 405 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,360 There's been a lot of Maya Angelou's work on TikTok 406 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:27,320 recently, and I heard Joan Baez singing in Spanish at the San 407 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,240 Francisco rally I saw. I saw beautiful videos of Joan 408 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:39,280 Baez, she's an old hand at this and they speak of strength and 409 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:46,840 love and fortitude and yes, the big feelings of fear, etcetera, 410 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:51,200 and oppression. But you, you, we can't bow to 411 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,840 that. And if we have an ounce of 412 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,320 privilege, showing up for those who can't show up for themselves 413 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:04,440 is essential globally. And one of the things that gives 414 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:10,120 me great hope is there are people all over the world who 415 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:17,800 are standing up for right human relations, for right thinking. 416 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,320 And this these are terms that are used in theosophy. 417 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,000 So when they talk about right, they mean aligned, you know, 418 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,680 aligned, not unaligned. It doesn't mean right or left. 419 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,800 It means or even correct its alignment. 420 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:39,320 It is rated right when you write an object that has fallen. 421 00:31:55,450 --> 00:32:03,610 So with the New moon coming with Curiosity, with Mars and Mercury 422 00:32:03,610 --> 00:32:09,600 conjunct transformative thoughts, it's a powerful, 423 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:16,320 powerful thing. The New moon in Libra is about 424 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,200 mutuality and it's about mature relationship. 425 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,320 It's not about hearts and flowers and romance. 426 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,040 That would be Taurus's job. Thank you very much. 427 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:33,640 Libra is about the contracts or social contracts, our mutual 428 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:39,920 obligations, our agreements, our ability to negotiate mutually 429 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,720 beneficial arrangements and so often through social and 430 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:48,840 cultural programming in relationship with other. 431 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,200 And this would be one-on-one relationships. 432 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:57,880 So best friends, business partners, clients, like if you 433 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,440 do one-on-one consulting or you know, if you're a reader, a 434 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:06,280 therapist, a consultant of any kind. 435 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,280 And then of course our significant others or our 436 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,600 roommates can fall into the 7th house, of course. 437 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,280 But that marriage is a contract and all contracts are 438 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,840 negotiated. It is often because of 439 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:27,840 socialization and cultural beliefs that we don't make 440 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,400 mutual agreements. We operate off default settings 441 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,840 or cultural and social beliefs. There will be those online 442 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,080 saying with this new moon in Libra is the time to manifest a 443 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:44,680 partner. And I'm going to say no, it is 444 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:49,560 not time to manifest a particular person. 445 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:57,520 It is a time to manifest, OK, We're set intentions around what 446 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,280 partnership actually means to you and mature the 447 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:08,080 understanding. So in a general view, before we 448 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:12,360 get into specifics for the patron only podcast, in a 449 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:17,280 general view, being curious and asking yourself, what does 450 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:23,280 partnership really mean to me? What is a mutual partnership? 451 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,880 What is the give and take? What am I willing to give and 452 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,679 what am I willing to receive in this? 453 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,080 Because a lot of times people say I just want somebody to get 454 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,560 me. I want somebody to understand 455 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,000 me. But if you don't understand 456 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,600 yourself, how the hell can you expect anybody else to 457 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,600 understand you? You have to be able to 458 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,880 communicate you to you before you can communicate you to 459 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,800 anybody else. And for nobody else is going to 460 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,920 show you who you are. They're going to show you where 461 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:59,680 you've been. OK, So because this is a mature 462 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:07,480 new moon in Libra for us on the personal level, since it has a 463 00:35:07,720 --> 00:35:13,320 light quality of Gemini ruled by Mercury, we want to come with 464 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,600 maybe a little sense of humor. We want to come in with our 465 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:21,680 questions for ourselves of what does clarity around partnership 466 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,760 look like to me? Whether you're in partnership, 467 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:30,920 what can be renegotiated? Where have you maybe given more 468 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:35,200 than you receive? Or maybe you haven't even 469 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:40,520 allowed yourself to ask for what you really want, because maybe 470 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:45,960 you haven't let yourself admit what you actually want or need, 471 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:54,360 right? Torres, as ruled by Venus, is 472 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,920 about what needs do you have. What does security look like? 473 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:02,880 Libra ruled by Venus is how you negotiate to get it met. 474 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:11,560 OK, so come with curiosity. What does clarity look like and 475 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,760 feel like to you? When your thoughts are super 476 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,680 clear, how does your body feel? Feel into that. 477 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:22,960 Take a deep breath and breathe it in and exhale. 478 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,840 It out and ask. Yourself, what does clarity feel 479 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:32,360 like in my body when I really, really am clear and come from 480 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:37,000 that space when you set your intentions and the intention 481 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,680 setting part of this podcast is patron only. 482 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:50,440 So we'll go house by house in that and we will make sure that 483 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,720 you get some some help in that. If you get the magazine, if 484 00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:56,440 you're in the horoscope or the, you know, the deep dive and 485 00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:00,920 horoscope tier, the $15 tier and up, you already have some 486 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,800 information on setting intentions with this new moon 487 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,680 coming up on the 20. It's a powerful new moon, 488 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:13,640 doesn't really have a lot of crappy stuff happening with it. 489 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,280 It's it's. And most new moons aren't all 490 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,360 that dramatic anyway. But it's very powerful on a 491 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,760 collective level. We're looking at the social 492 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,120 contract, we're looking at what is. 493 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,800 Right and just and. Fair not just to ourselves, but 494 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,520 to those around us and and saying, you know. 495 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:36,840 This is what matters so. We can't force other people 496 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:41,720 through our intentions, right? It would be nice, but imposing 497 00:37:41,720 --> 00:37:44,880 our will on others or trying to manipulate others into 498 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,720 agreement? It only works just so far. 499 00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:52,040 You can have a very strong will and will things into being. 500 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:56,160 They usually fall apart pretty fast, you know, and by pretty 501 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,360 fast. I'm thinking in geologic time, 502 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,760 you know, it might work for you now, but it may not in 20 years. 503 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:08,000 So we really don't want to look at I want this particular person 504 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,560 or this particular job or I need this. 505 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,040 I need society to wake up. Well, you know, work on you. 506 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,120 How can you be more clear if you're awake? 507 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,360 What are you doing with your wokeness? 508 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,960 How are you taking action in the world? 509 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,080 If you have a modicum of privilege, how are you using 510 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,200 that to make a difference? It's it's OK to. 511 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,200 Opine it's OK to have. Opinions. 512 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:35,600 But what are you doing about it? How are you making things? 513 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:40,560 Better in your local community in in because people are looking 514 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:44,960 at the big picture. But so much of what is acted out 515 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,280 happens at the local level, and that's why I've been hammering 516 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,880 on that. And I want to remind you, if 517 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:55,120 you're looking for action steps, we're starting at the very 518 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,920 beginning at the American Blueprint Civics for everyday 519 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,920 people. That is. 520 00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:06,480 I've decided I'm just going to. Publish the the podcast through. 521 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:12,560 Patreon and it's at patreon.com/american Blueprint. 522 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,720 You can read about it in the show notes, but anyway, every. 523 00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:19,000 Single episode, there's an action. 524 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,080 Step you can take and we're starting bite sized. 525 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:25,000 Pieces we're starting with. You know, watching a city 526 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,920 meeting or a county meeting and finding out what's important to 527 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,520 you and that and, and then we'll get to greater and greater 528 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,200 action steps. Don't think the little stuff 529 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:39,440 isn't important because you're all about to find out over the 530 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:45,680 next year or so how very, very important local government is. 531 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,560 And that's why they don't want you thinking about it. 532 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,880 That's why they always want you looking at the president. 533 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:55,040 Yes, we've seen the dangers of having a bad one and we've seen 534 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,160 what holes need to be plugged up, but in the social contract 535 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,520 you'll see how important local is and even the smallest act. 536 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,360 Is going to have an impact, so none of you are without power. 537 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,880 They wouldn't be trying to. Oppress you if you. 538 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,440 Didn't have it. All right, let's give some 539 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,280 really important patron shout outs. 540 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,560 Thanks to all the patrons who hung out with me as we recorded 541 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,440 the podcast on Monday.

Hopefully I put some of you to 564 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:25,800 sleep. Again, my deepest gratitude for 565 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,360 all of your support. Remember, we don't get funding 566 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:32,120 any other way but through our listeners and for that I am 567 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:36,480 proud. So walk on and enjoy the rest of 568 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:51,990 the podcast. The Grand Trine's happening. 569 00:42:51,990 --> 00:42:53,590 This week, because there's. More than one. 570 00:42:53,590 --> 00:42:57,230 We've got Mercury and Mars conjunct throughout the week. 571 00:42:57,230 --> 00:43:04,760 It's moving into a nice tight grand trine between Jupiter and 572 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:10,680 Saturn, and this is a great time for not just deconstruction, 573 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,840 because I think too many. People look at deconstruction. 574 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,880 Without an eye to reconstruction, because you have 575 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,440 to, you don't just tear something apart and leave it 576 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,040 there. If you've ever renovated a 577 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:25,080 house, you know you don't just leave a room unfinished. 578 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,800 Not if you want to be comfortable and and so 579 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,640 deconstructing and taking responsibility and 580 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,200 accountability. For for the roles we pay play 581 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:40,040 default. Through social programs and and 582 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:45,160 social class and economic status and blahdy blahdy blah and our 583 00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,600 biases, etcetera. It's not that that isn't 584 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,320 important, but then what? How do you build? 585 00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:55,240 Forward and this is a great time to transform our thoughts at. 586 00:43:55,240 --> 00:43:58,160 Large and our. Thoughts on the inside and I 587 00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,920 talked about tuning your Mercury at the beginning of the podcast 588 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:09,800 and this is a great time to retune our thinking and and be. 589 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:14,440 Very deliberate. And intentional and recognize 590 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:21,400 how we think ourselves into disempowerment. 591 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,840 How we allow? Ourselves to be disempowered and 592 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,920 how and instead of blaming ourselves because I see that so 593 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:32,080 much like Oh my God, I've done this to myself I've I've held 594 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:36,440 myself back my stinking thinking got in the way and that self 595 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:41,600 flagellation it's it's on one hand it's debilitating on the. 596 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:46,480 Other it's self indulgent. And and you're human, 597 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,400 everybody's human. We do this. 598 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:54,160 So notice and redirect. That's how you make the 599 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,960 transformation. This is a massively alchemical 600 00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:01,440 time to transform our thinking in ways that not. 601 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,440 Only help. Embolden US, Empower us. 602 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:12,080 Infuse us with our agency. It's also, you know. 603 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:17,480 A remarkable time to shift our. Thinking and our consciousness 604 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:27,440 in ways that allow us to really dig into living you know we get 605 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,920 X amount of time on this planet and. 606 00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:37,360 It's short. It goes by so fast. 607 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:46,080 It's there's so much more we can do when we give ourselves 608 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:50,760 permission to grow. And that energy is here. 609 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:59,000 There's nothing more wonderful than, you know, being able to 610 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,480 transcend. Our former self. 611 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,520 And that that means? Rise above it. 612 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:14,320 To transform and become a version of self that is 613 00:46:15,240 --> 00:46:19,600 outstandingly almost. Unimaginable at a certain. 614 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:26,280 Point in our life and we can make those radical shifts, you 615 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:30,080 know, in moments sometimes. You know. 616 00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,200 And then other things we have to strategize. 617 00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,040 And realize it's. Incremental and not put 618 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:40,880 pressure. On ourselves but that that's 619 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,320 part of this and then as. We go through the week we have 620 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:50,440 between about the 20. 3rd and the. 28th Mars really tucks into 621 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:56,160 that grand trine and with Jupiter and Saturn and on a 622 00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,440 collective level. This is. 623 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,400 This is power to the people. And this is. 624 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,760 Global and you're going to be seeing people. 625 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:10,360 Really rising up and demanding. You know, there's a lot of power 626 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:14,040 and a lot of force. People forget that Scorpio and, 627 00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:19,000 and you know, in a modern sense, especially as it's governed by 628 00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:23,480 Pluto, is about power and people see it as destructive energy. 629 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:27,480 It's not it's power, it's understanding power and it's 630 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,240 like the people. Start to really. 631 00:47:30,240 --> 00:47:33,360 Understand where the power truly. 632 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,120 Lies. And there will be pushback 633 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,200 potentially against the people and I don't think it's going to 634 00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,240 be that effective. But I do think as we go through, 635 00:47:42,240 --> 00:47:49,560 the weak, the weak minded, the insecure, the controlling, 636 00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:54,120 domineering, abuse of consciousnesses are going to 637 00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:59,240 push back in the face of joy and, and they're going to lose 638 00:47:59,240 --> 00:48:01,240 this battle. This is not a battle they're 639 00:48:01,240 --> 00:48:05,840 going to win, but they're going to amp up and the people are not 640 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,120 going to have it. And I think we're going to see 641 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:11,080 some truly historic things between now and the end of the 642 00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,440 month. I'm very excited about it. 643 00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,800 It is, it's a push. It's not an end. 644 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:19,560 It's not an end point, but I think the people will be 645 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,800 emboldened, and that's in so many different places in the 646 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:29,280 world. And again, anybody who grew up 647 00:48:30,240 --> 00:48:33,560 with dominance and control, factoring in their life, you 648 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,400 know, what happens when you start to succeed and there's 649 00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,880 somebody who wants to control you, They're going to make it 650 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:41,760 harder. They're going to throw obstacles 651 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:43,520 at you. But I think we're going to see 652 00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:48,680 people kind of linking arms and being like, no, no, no. 653 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:55,040 So this is I I the fellowship of the rings keeps coming into my 654 00:48:55,040 --> 00:49:00,400 mind with, you know, the support of one another is 1 stumbles, 655 00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:04,440 another gathers them. The energy of Samwise Ganges, 656 00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,400 that wonderful. Loyal. 657 00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:13,800 Kind friend who could walk through Mordor and and get his 658 00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:18,560 friend to the goal. That is how we can be for each 659 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,680 other and I'm very bold in there on an. 660 00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,480 Individual. Level. 661 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:29,480 This is creative, powerful if you are an artist, a musician, 662 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:39,520 if you are a poet, a writer, if you're a dancer, if if you just 663 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:43,960 love those things, if you're a therapist, if you're a 664 00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:47,760 counselor, a coach, an astrologer, A metaphysician, any 665 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,440 human being. Whatever you're whenever. 666 00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:54,320 You connect to the muse. And if you've ever done that 667 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,080 when you're. Aligned, and the energy is 668 00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,120 flowing and it's coursing through your system and you 669 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,680 could feel it, sense it, taste. It, touch it, see it. 670 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:06,800 And and you're just vibrant and the energy is coursing through 671 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:10,640 your system and it feels like it will never end. 672 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:15,440 Tap into this because this is a fire hose of creation. 673 00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:19,120 And remember, for anything that happens that appears 674 00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:23,880 destructive, there is an equal opposite reaction to that and 675 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,840 that is creativity. And for every act of war, there 676 00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:31,080 is an act of peace. And people are going to be 677 00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,720 demanding this. And Linda, one of our patrons 678 00:50:34,720 --> 00:50:38,920 here has commented, People are recognizing that joy is a valid 679 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:43,320 expression, not of resistance necessarily, but of claiming a 680 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:46,960 different future. Yes, it is stating this is the 681 00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:51,640 reality we are setting. The foundation for this is. 682 00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:55,240 How we build forward, the people are. 683 00:50:55,240 --> 00:50:59,560 Showing resilience and they are showing there is a way to go. 684 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,320 There is faith, there is hope, there is peace, there is love, 685 00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:09,040 there is justice, and this gets created forward and that is the 686 00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:14,080 thing I am most excited about. As we move through October, 687 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:20,840 there will be things in the external world that are 688 00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:26,160 difficult to witness. And yet if you put your focus on 689 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:30,320 the people who stand resilient in these times, the people who 690 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:35,720 continue to uplift and be of service regardless of how heavy 691 00:51:35,720 --> 00:51:40,240 it is, the people who show up. Michael the librarian, my God, 692 00:51:40,240 --> 00:51:45,080 he does his service. Mandy Patinkin and his wife 693 00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:49,000 often giving strong messages. People who are using their 694 00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:53,520 privilege, their voice, their influence are showing that 695 00:51:53,520 --> 00:52:07,040 people it's OK to ask for help, it's OK to express the struggle. 696 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,560 Don't live in it. OK, I think people often 697 00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:12,200 misunderstand me. I'm not a hive. 698 00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:17,680 I have only person It's OK to express our work and and 699 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:22,200 resilience means the ability to bounce back after challenging 700 00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,560 circumstances. And and if we don't acknowledge 701 00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,240 the challenging circumstances, how the hell do we know we 702 00:52:28,240 --> 00:52:34,120 bounce back? We can move forward And and I've 703 00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:39,840 mentioned earlier in the podcast that some of the great poets 704 00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,200 have been their words have been circulating through TikTok. 705 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:47,720 Doctor Maya Angelou's words, profound wisdom there somebody 706 00:52:47,720 --> 00:52:52,680 who struggled and suffered and spoke truth to power. 707 00:52:54,920 --> 00:53:02,120 Great, great wisdom, and it's a shame when we. 708 00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,120 Say, oh, it's too bad. She's not here to inspire us. 709 00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:11,560 When she planted the seeds in anyone who heard her words to be 710 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:18,200 with her and to stand with her and to express like her seem 711 00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:21,960 like Mr. Rogers, we as grown adults are not. 712 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,520 To look for the helpers. We are to be the helpers. 713 00:53:25,720 --> 00:53:27,600 We don't need another Mr. Rogers. 714 00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,960 We need that Mister Rogers inside of us to. 715 00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,840 Show up. He planted the seeds. 716 00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:38,160 OK, every single great teacher, every single world teacher, has 717 00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:44,840 planted the seeds to allow each person to express and to be. 718 00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,720 Authentically in themselves. You don't have to act like them. 719 00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:53,680 You have to challenge, channel that of you out into the world 720 00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,120 if you want to. Be the change in the world you 721 00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,160 seek. You've got to do that inside job 722 00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:01,760 first if you want to see. People, be braver. 723 00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:05,120 You need to be braver. And that braver could just be 724 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,840 that you decide to leave the house today and look up at the 725 00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:15,000 grocery store and say hi to somebody and risk risk 726 00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:19,120 rejection, risk them not saying hi back, right? 727 00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:23,560 You can hold the door. For someone and make their day, 728 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,680 you could buy somebody a coffee, you could hand somebody a pair 729 00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:30,360 of stocks socks. You could ask that goofy and 730 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:35,000 bring joy to a small child. You could find volunteer 731 00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:39,960 opportunities. Rejection's part of life. 732 00:54:41,720 --> 00:54:44,240 They're going to be people who think you're the bee's knees, 733 00:54:44,240 --> 00:54:45,840 and they're going to be people who think you're a. 734 00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:49,960 Fool nobody. Likes being rejected. 735 00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,920 It's. Part of life, right? 736 00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,280 Yeah. And Elizabeth says, as somebody 737 00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,960 who's been on the receiving end of a random smile, it really 738 00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:04,600 can't change the whole day. I asked strangers saved my life 739 00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,200 when I was 19 years old. They'll never know it. 740 00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:11,480 I was walking in London and I was having very dark thoughts, 741 00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:16,120 and it was very difficult time. And I was contemplating what I 742 00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:18,520 could do to not feel that way anymore. 743 00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:20,960 I didn't want to feel at all anymore. 744 00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,240 And in London, nobody gave you eye contact. 745 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,600 And I kind of like that I came from a small town and it was 746 00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,320 impossible to be anonymous. And I really. 747 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:35,480 Loved the anonymity of London. But at 19, walking down this 748 00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:42,320 road, just really not able to escape the way I was feeling and 749 00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:47,040 being raw on the inside and being stoic on the outside. 750 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:52,000 And across the street, this woman in a lovely cloche hat 751 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:56,320 looked at me straight in the eyes and smiled and saved my 752 00:55:56,320 --> 00:56:06,000 life because I was so startled by her looking in my direction. 753 00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:09,200 There was no one else around. There was only me. 754 00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:14,120 It could have been an Angel was a human Angel, but I was so 755 00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:17,640 startled she disrupted my thoughts. 756 00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:22,320 Maybe she was psychic, maybe she was just a helper, or maybe she 757 00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,880 was just a really nice lady and I was so distracted. 758 00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,920 Wondering why, she smiled. At me, I forgot all those 759 00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:32,880 horrible feelings. We can switch our consciousness 760 00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:38,280 in an instant. We can switch our consciousness 761 00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:44,680 in a moment. It takes 90 seconds to. 762 00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:49,040 Wash. The hormones through the body of 763 00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:52,560 anger, rage, emotional pain, negative thinking. 764 00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:58,080 We takes 90 seconds. That is a minute and 1/2. 765 00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:05,920 We can switch our. Consciousness and if you think 766 00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:11,360 you're not needed on the planet at this time, think again. 767 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:16,880 This is a collective experience and no one is remiss from it. 768 00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:22,320 This is a collective experience and everybody has an opportunity 769 00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,160 to contribute and you contribute. 770 00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:27,360 Whether you do so deliberately. Or not. 771 00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:36,800 Imagine using your agency to align your consciousness into a 772 00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:41,440 better feeling space, so you feel better in your own skin and 773 00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:44,640 you're transmitting that out into the world. 774 00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:47,560 And it uplifts people, whether you. 775 00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:52,360 Purposely uplift others or not. You contribute to the energetic 776 00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:58,840 and magnetic field. There's no magic wand. 777 00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,360 Except us. We are it. 778 00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:13,440 Right, right. And JC says I too have been in 779 00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:18,600 the depths of despair and kept going due to a simple kindness, 780 00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:26,840 those simple acts of kindness not to make anything happen. 781 00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,440 We don't have to know what someone is going through. 782 00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:32,120 We could just. Be a little. 783 00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:36,800 Kinder, a little gentler. Not just with other people, but 784 00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:42,880 with ourselves. I am you and you are me, and we 785 00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,280 are we together, said The Beatles. 786 00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:48,840 And with that. I think I'm going to leave you. 787 00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:54,240 I hope I've left you inspired. I hope you have a great week. 788 00:58:54,800 --> 00:59:00,480 I've been trying to energize and energate and. 789 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:05,520 Edify you. As we've gone through these dark 790 00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:12,720 and crazy transformational times and I wish you the best of 791 00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:16,440 weeks, thank. You. 792 00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:21,400 For listening to the podcast and if you want to hear that 793 00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:25,320 wonderful interview with Maverick Joyce, we'll be getting 794 00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:26,520 it out next week.
