1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,320 What if astrology isn't just something that tells you about 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:07,920 who you are, but instead it's a tool to help you become all that 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,120 you can be? That's what we talked about here 4 00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:13,320 on the Awake Space Astrology Podcast. 5 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:18,360 I'm Lori Rivers, and I've made it my business to help you use 6 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,880 astrology as a tool for growth, healing and to become the best 7 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,720 version of you you can be on any given day. 8 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:31,920 We're talking about Jupiter and retrogrades today because 9 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,600 there's a lot of misunderstandings about what 10 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,480 retrograde actually means. And if you're in the Awake Space 11 00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:43,240 community, then you know what I say about the retrogrades. 12 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,640 It's so easy to blame Mercury or Jupiter or Saturn or whatever 13 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,240 else is retrograde in the sky for what's going on. 14 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:57,240 But when we look at these as an opportunity to switch things up, 15 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,920 to reflect, to go over old ground, to find missed 16 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:07,440 opportunities, then we're using our astrology instead of letting 17 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,760 the astrology drive us. And that's what we're here to do 18 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,440 this week on the Awake Space Astrology Podcast. 19 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,800 So whether we're going to work, taking the kids to school, 20 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,840 getting ready for Thanksgiving in the United States, or trying 21 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,520 to deck the halls or get whatever winter festival ready 22 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,120 that you celebrate, we're going to do it together. 23 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,000 And we're going to get perfect parking if we're driving in the 24 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,240 world. So get your tea, get your 25 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,480 coffee, get your matcha, get your Red Bull, get your H2O, get 26 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,880 your hot cocoa or your iced tea, because we're going to do this 27 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:59,470 together. Jupiter is one of those planets 28 00:01:59,470 --> 00:02:03,630 that I think is talked about in all the wrong ways on social 29 00:02:03,630 --> 00:02:05,550 media. I used to call it Tumblr 30 00:02:05,590 --> 00:02:08,789 astrology because it's pop astrology, it's popular 31 00:02:08,789 --> 00:02:10,550 astrology. It's people who've read a book 32 00:02:10,550 --> 00:02:12,990 or two and they think that makes them an expert. 33 00:02:12,990 --> 00:02:16,310 And that happens in every field. OK, People might spend all their 34 00:02:16,310 --> 00:02:20,640 time on WebMD, right? Or in hand spinning and crochet. 35 00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:22,840 You read a book and then you know you're going to go teach 36 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,680 other people and each one teach 1 is great when you have the 37 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,920 right information, but not every book out there and not every 38 00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:34,800 website has great information. And it's easy to think of it 39 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,840 being done by an expert because it's in print. 40 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaking of in print, we've got some books coming your way, but 41 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,120 hold tight. Hold tight. 42 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:49,320 That's 2026. Not, not right now, but anyway, 43 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,760 what we're looking at with Jupiter is it's a magnifier. 44 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,440 It's a magnifier. It's not luck per SE. 45 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,760 That's a 1. I don't even think that's how 46 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,960 actual astrologers ever looked at it. 47 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,440 They could see fortunate or unfortunate. 48 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,720 Yes, in a very determined society, meaning there was no 49 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,040 mobility socially, there was no way to self actualize. 50 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,800 You were born into a certain station in life and you could 51 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,240 never move beyond that. So if you were in the upper 52 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,120 echelon, that's where you were at. 53 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,400 If you were a peasant, that's where you were at. 54 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,760 If you were not an autonomous being, then that's what you were 55 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,840 stuck with. No opportunities for liberation. 56 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,080 We live in a different time and people may be trying to swing us 57 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,840 back, but the thing about progress is it keeps moving 58 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,680 forward even when there's a challenge to it. 59 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,440 So Jupiter is really a magnifying glass. 60 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,200 It highlights and emphasizes the area of life it is in your 61 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,000 chart. It doesn't mean that's where all 62 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,680 your luck happens, but it means that that part of life is very 63 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,440 focused. OK, depending on what house it 64 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,320 falls in. And if you're in the Awake Space 65 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,080 community, hold tight this week you're going to get a little 66 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:18,480 CHEAT SHEET PDF if you're at the $15 level and up, and that will 67 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,680 help you understand your Jupiter a little better as per its house 68 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,320 placement. Okay, the sign describes the 69 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,400 how. Okay, the house placement says 70 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,840 this is the area and then the sign says this is how this 71 00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:38,600 happens in that area of life. I know it's easier when we're in 72 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,480 a class, but Jupiter as the magnifier isn't about being good 73 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,840 or bad. It depends on your perspective. 74 00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:52,000 Have you ever met anyone who just has the worst luck? 75 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,560 They could have Jupiter in exaltation in their chart. 76 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,240 That's why I don't like the dignities. 77 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:04,800 The dignities in astrology come from a mindset and cultural 78 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:12,600 viewpoint of ideal and less ideal behaviors or personality 79 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:18,680 traits or situations, instead of looking at our consciousness as 80 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,840 the spectrum. And we couldn't get there till 81 00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:24,280 we got there right there. I'm not dissing on ancient 82 00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:28,040 peoples, but we have a different understanding not only of 83 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,760 consciousness itself, but how the brain works. 84 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,600 And the brain is the tool that our consciousness uses to 85 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,200 express. Right there we go. 86 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,840 Consciousness isn't necessarily determined on the brain. 87 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,440 The brain is what determines how consciousness is expressed, and 88 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,400 our mindset is everything. That's why I emphasize so much 89 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,880 in the mercury episode. You get that Mercury trained and 90 00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,600 things start to shift and grow. There was a show called Hee Haw 91 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,440 when I was a little kid in the 70s and there was a song gloom, 92 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,720 despair and agony on me. Deep, dark depression, excessive 93 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,600 misery. If I had no bad luck, I'd have 94 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,840 no luck at all. Gloom, despair and agony on me. 95 00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:19,520 Jupiter can function that way when our mindset is one that 96 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,320 only seeks out the problems. I've always said it doesn't take 97 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,440 a genius to figure out a problem. 98 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,240 It does take a genius to find solutions. 99 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:35,840 Jupiter, when we've trained our Mercury, learns to tune to what 100 00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:39,600 potentials are there in that area of life. 101 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,160 And I'm talking about the Natal chart. 102 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,840 I'm not talking about the transits yet. 103 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,400 But your personal Jupiter emphasizes that area of life and 104 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,560 depending on the relationships it's making in your chart. 105 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,640 And don't think of squares as bad or oppositions. 106 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,960 If you're in the astrology crew, we've been talking about that in 107 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:04,680 the aspects in the Natal chart. But don't think you are stuck 108 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,840 with good or bad luck. That's a very old fashioned way 109 00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:12,560 of looking at life and it's one that doesn't do us any good. 110 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,280 Everybody has highs and lows. Everybody has times where things 111 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,440 are kicking and rolling along and they're doing great. 112 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,000 And everybody has times where you drop your keys in the toilet 113 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,560 and the phone goes into a mud puddle and you don't get the 114 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,400 parking you need and you got to walk 2 miles to get to where 115 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:34,160 you're going and your shoe falls apart and you walk in the door. 116 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,720 And there's been a lot of layoffs. 117 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,360 It isn't necessarily personal to you. 118 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,960 If you look, what else is going on for everybody else feels 119 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,760 personal. It feels real personal. 120 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,600 And that's why in the last segment, we're going to talk 121 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,520 about what happens when you are reactive and how to manage not 122 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:59,240 beating yourself up when you aren't as deliberate as you can 123 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:00,640 be. Because I think sometimes when 124 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,840 we talk about these subjects, there's still this expectation 125 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,760 of perfection. And no human being, not me, not 126 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,360 anybody, is going to be always on the top of their game. 127 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,160 So understanding that Jupiter is a magnifier helps us understand. 128 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,920 And why am I talking about Jupiter today? 129 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,880 Besides, it's the next planet in line from the series that I'm 130 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,320 doing right now. And using your astrology. 131 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:32,159 Well, Jupiter's in a grand trine right now with Mercury, Saturn, 132 00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:38,400 and Neptune. And it's emphasizing a lot of 133 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,000 feelings. It's emphasizing a lot of very 134 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:48,040 visceral security issues. It's emphasizing our authority 135 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,280 or lack of it. And so things have been a little 136 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,960 gritty since that new moon in Scorpio because it was a doozy. 137 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,560 It was part of a grand trying. It was a great time to look at 138 00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:05,840 where we want to go forward, and we may have had experiences that 139 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,400 were less than desired to make it very clear about what we 140 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,720 don't want so we can move forward with what we do want or 141 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:20,080 how we want to live. Jupiter emphasizes everything. 142 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,640 It's a little extra when you look at your Jupiter in your 143 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,280 Natal chart and it doesn't matter if it's in a square or an 144 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,920 opposition, don't worry about that. 145 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,080 That doesn't mean it's afflicted per SE. 146 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,360 That's the language used in traditional astrology. 147 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,440 It means you have to be more creative. 148 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:48,040 It puts an emphasis on that creativity, whereas if you have 149 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:54,240 a trine or a sex style, there's an emphasis on having to move 150 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,120 with the energy squares and oppositions can be gritty. 151 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:03,520 That grit is like grit in an oyster creating a Pearl, right? 152 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,640 We have to ride through things. We have to move through the 153 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,000 frustration into creative solutions. 154 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,760 With the trines, it can just be, there's a lot, a lot, a lot, a 155 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,720 lot of doesn't necessarily mean it's better. 156 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,680 As people have seen over the last week with this transiting 157 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,960 Jupiter, it's a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of big thoughts. 158 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:30,560 It's been very easy to identify our thought patterns because our 159 00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:34,280 thought patterns drive the show, OK? 160 00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:39,360 And we have habits in our thought patterns. 161 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,160 And why am I bringing that up with Jupiter? 162 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,200 Because Jupiter's been in a trine with Mercury, we've been 163 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:51,200 able to notice where we thrive or self sabotage given our own 164 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,080 thinking. It's not about blame, it's just 165 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:59,440 identification. OK, so Jupiter, it's just a big 166 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,560 magnifying lens. I learned this as a young 167 00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:07,360 astrologer because like every young astrologer, Jupiter was 168 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,520 luck. And I'd look forward to those 169 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,080 Jupiter transits and I'd be like, oh, everything's going to 170 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,400 go my way. I just have to wait for this 171 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,480 transit. And I'm going to be so excited 172 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,880 because so many good things are going to happen. 173 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,240 And then what happened was if there was an issue going on, it 174 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:30,320 got magnified and I'd get my ass smacked and I'd be like, what 175 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,320 was that? How am I doing life wrong? 176 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:39,000 I had this great transit and nothing went the way I thought 177 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,920 it would. And this is like in my first 178 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:45,360 year of being an astrologer, year and a half, and I started 179 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:50,520 to question whether Jupiter was actually this great benefic. 180 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,200 I was like, I don't know that that was a lot. 181 00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:57,320 And then I realized it had magnified existing conditions 182 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,960 that you couldn't swing from one step to the next step if your 183 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,560 first step wasn't on a strong foundation. 184 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,120 If you're baking bread and your yeast is old, you're not going 185 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,640 to get a good proof on it. Same goes with our hopes, 186 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,320 dreams, and aspirations. If we don't have everything we 187 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:21,920 need to make it go exactly the way we want, it's not going to 188 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,400 go exactly the way we want. We're going to see what needs to 189 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,640 be replaced, repaired, etcetera, right? 190 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,520 So Jupiter is not always the planet of luck, and you are not 191 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,000 always doomed to just have good or bad luck. 192 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,120 When you're deliberate in your consciousness, being deliberate 193 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:48,360 is essential. It's essential because if we 194 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:57,400 just go off, well, everybody in my family said or nobody, nobody 195 00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:05,800 likes what I do, or people don't like me or I'm boring or or or 196 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,360 or whatever our our thought habit is. 197 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,920 One of those could be waiting for the other shoe to drop. 198 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,360 Like every time I'm happy, something bad happens. 199 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,560 That's a really common thought process because it might have 200 00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:26,000 happened when we were kids. Now we're looking added things 201 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,840 from an adult lens. Just because something happened 202 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:34,840 25 years ago, 10 years ago, five years ago doesn't mean it has to 203 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,360 repeat itself. We might have themes come up and 204 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,040 we have an opportunity to do things differently with those 205 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,440 themes. Jupiter is the magnifier showing 206 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,640 the theme. Mercury is how we find the 207 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,720 solutions. Every situation, whether it's a 208 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,440 challenge or a victory, is an opportunity for growth and 209 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,360 learning. And when we can start looking at 210 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,120 those things like that instead of green lights and red lights 211 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,800 and yellow lights, because we often miss the yellow light. 212 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,320 But when we stop looking at it as a go or a stop sign and we 213 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,560 look at how can, how can I adjust? 214 00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:15,120 How can I do this differently? How can I find the opportunity? 215 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,400 How can I find something to my benefit in this moment? 216 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,440 And I'm not talking about when you're in the big fields. 217 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,680 When we're having the big emotional moment, we just have 218 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:30,080 to have the emotional moment. It's afterwards. 219 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,880 We're going to sit and assess it. 220 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,440 We're going to examine it. We're going to identify what's 221 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,800 really up on deck. Not that dirty, rotten so and so 222 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:48,240 that did US dirty. Not that every time I make a 223 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,000 friend, they betray me. That line of thinking doesn't 224 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,680 give you any agency. So what is it about the pattern 225 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,400 of trust that I have? Do I trust people too quickly? 226 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,080 Do I need to maybe ask more questions? 227 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,280 It's not about fault, it's examining. 228 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,440 So you're going to examine, you're going to identify. 229 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,440 Oh, I do I do. I over disclose and and I jump 230 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,720 into all relationships maybe a little too quickly. 231 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,400 I do that because I have the sense of and this need to 232 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,600 belong. OK, all right. 233 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,040 How can I feel less like I don't belong? 234 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:34,040 What can I do to understand I'm worthy of respect? 235 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,360 What can I do? Jupiter is the lens that 236 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,920 identifies that where we can identify, Mercury goes through 237 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,600 that process of the examination, the analysis, and then seeking 238 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,280 the solution. When we can use these parts of 239 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:56,360 our chart in this way, it gives us agency, and agency is what 240 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,480 gives us authority, which lines us up for the next episode where 241 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,480 we're going to talk about Saturn. 242 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,600 But before that, we're going to talk a little bit about 243 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,040 retrogrades because we've got things ready to move direct in 244 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:17,640 the next few days, weeks ahead. We have Mercury stationing 245 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,600 direct on November 29th and we have Saturn stationing direct on 246 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,960 December 1st, which is next Monday. 247 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,680 O that's what we're going to talk about next is the 248 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:49,960 retrograde. So let's talk about retrograde 249 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,360 for a second, because I think this is one of the other most 250 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,680 misunderstood things in astrology. 251 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,440 Retrograde is neither good nor bad. 252 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,440 Retrograde is an optical illusion, and I've talked about 253 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:08,000 that on this podcast many, many times, right? 254 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,839 So you've got the Earth based perspective. 255 00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:15,359 We live on Earth and our perception shape our reality. 256 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,839 When we look up at the sky, when a planet is retrograde, it looks 257 00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:23,599 like it's moving backwards. It's not astrologers. 258 00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:26,480 No, it's not. But we know we have this optical 259 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,080 illusion of retrograde. Retrograde is neither good nor 260 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,000 bad, OK? People will feel it's bad 261 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,800 because they're forced to take a look in the mirror. 262 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,560 They're forced to revise projects. 263 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,080 It is not a good time to start new things. 264 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:45,640 But it's great to resolve matters, especially when we're 265 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,480 looking at Mercury retrograde, which happens about 3 * a year 266 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,200 up to 4. But I argue with that one 267 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,800 because a lot of times when they're like we have 4 268 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,200 retrogrades for Mercury this year, it like starts at the 269 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,880 beginning, like the very end of the year, like you get 2 days in 270 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,840 the year, you know? So people love to be dramatic. 271 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:10,400 When we're looking at Mercury or any other planet in retrograde, 272 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,480 it is a reflective time. It's an inward versus an outward 273 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,600 time. With Mercury getting ready to 274 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:22,160 station direct on November 29th, 2025, we have all been moving 275 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:27,560 through this period of what do I need to change in my thinking, 276 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,680 right? A lot of people have been 277 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,480 blaming the Mercury retrograde for the shit show that's been 278 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,720 going on. I want to remind you it's been 279 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:39,840 in a grand trine once it moved back into Scorpio with Jupiter, 280 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,960 Saturn, and Neptune. They're all in water science. 281 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,320 This has been some big grand trine action. 282 00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:50,360 If you can imagine you're flushing out a pipe and there's 283 00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:52,960 no restriction on that water pressure. 284 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,360 This has been, you could say it's an emotional colonic. 285 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,320 All the crap is coming up for review. 286 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,960 It's not just Mercury. We're dealing with Saturn, we're 287 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,000 dealing with Neptune, and we're dealing with Jupiter. 288 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,160 Jupiter is in Cancer, Saturn and Neptune are in Pisces. 289 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:15,920 Mercury is in Scorpio. This has been a deep dive into 290 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,600 what we need to change. If we're constantly looking at 291 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,960 what other people are doing, we're not looking at what we're 292 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,320 doing. And that's the opportunity right 293 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,880 now. So let's say you got into it 294 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,600 with somebody you love very much. 295 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:36,360 Maybe you had an argument, maybe an old pattern of behavior came 296 00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:39,320 up, something that hasn't been up on deck for a long time. 297 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:44,600 Maybe you got triggered. Maybe you were having to process 298 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:50,200 something that was pretty heavy. It's unpleasant, it's not fun. 299 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,520 It's unfortunate when it happens. 300 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:58,280 But if we can turn our thinking into OK, I see the pattern, it 301 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,920 happens. Do I know why it happens? 302 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:08,880 Do I know the root of it? Is it really the that person 303 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:15,560 causing the problem, or is my reactivity to that person or the 304 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,480 situation because of something else? 305 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,880 Do I feel like my security is threatened? 306 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:26,960 Do I feel like my survival? Is questioned. 307 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:32,680 Do I feel through this lack of respect or this lack of follow 308 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:37,280 through or a broken promise or whatever it is? 309 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:44,240 Do I feel that I am less than? Am I fighting for my worth, my 310 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,920 respect, my agency? It's not fun to be reactive. 311 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,120 There's adrenaline involved, there's cortisol involved. 312 00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:53,080 It can disrupt our sleep patterns. 313 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,520 It can make it difficult to be creative. 314 00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:00,240 It's very difficult to seek a solution in a reactive moment 315 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,040 because we're in our survival, in our instinctual 316 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,040 consciousness, but it's nothing to beat ourselves up for. 317 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,400 We just kind of have to ride through it. 318 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,360 Abraham Hicks equates that to falling out of an airplane. 319 00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:16,760 You just got to wait till you hit, you know, you just fall out 320 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,480 of the airplane. Let it ride. 321 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,840 Give yourself a moment. Tomorrow's another day, right? 322 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,520 These awarenesses, these opportunity for awarenesses, 323 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,960 give us a chance to find solutions. 324 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,040 They give us a chance to do something differently. 325 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,560 Remember in the mystery School, what do we say in the awake 326 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,040 space Mystery School? The powers in the noticing. 327 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,680 The perfection is in the correction. 328 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,320 That's what makes things so powerful. 329 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,960 Retrograde isn't bad. Retrograde is a time to be 330 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,800 inward in our thinking, and I'm talking about personal 331 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,080 astrology. I'm not talking about mundane 332 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,960 astrology. They're different. 333 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,280 They're different kinds of energy. 334 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,680 When we look at it as an astrologer, if you do mundane, 335 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:14,040 you're looking at instinctual consciousness. 90% of the time. 336 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,880 When we're looking for human beings in a Natal astrology or 337 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,120 transits to Natal astrology, we're looking at things where 338 00:22:22,120 --> 00:22:24,840 people have the option for agency. 339 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:30,040 OK, there's a big difference. And when we look at retrogrades, 340 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:36,320 whether it's in a Natal chart, which doesn't make you less or 341 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:41,600 better because of the frequency of retrograde. 342 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,600 If you've studied with me, then you know, right, We've talked a 343 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,040 lot about the frequency of retrograde. 344 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,240 Mercury goes retrograde for sure, 3 * a year, sometimes 4. 345 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:58,880 Venus goes retrograde every 16 months or so, 14 to 16 months. 346 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,600 Mars goes retrograde every 26 months, so about two years. 347 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,280 OK, so those two are a little less common. 348 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:11,240 Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, they all go 349 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,760 retrograde every single year. Any other thing from 3 1/2 350 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,120 months to about almost six months. 351 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,480 So it's not uncommon to have retrogrades in your chart. 352 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:26,920 It's more uncommon to have everything direct or having 353 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,400 stations. Biggest station is when it a 354 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,160 planet appears to be stopped. So a station is a very very 355 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:39,000 powerful placement. But none of these mean good or 356 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,080 bad powerful can go either way. Powerfully good. 357 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,720 Powerfully not good. Retrograde is a time to 358 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:50,320 reassess, a time to prepare, a time to get your ducks in a row. 359 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,520 And ducks are very hard to get in a row. 360 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,960 It's a time to review and revise. 361 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,160 Now with Mercury, it's not a time to start anything new. 362 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,840 You can start new things with other planets in retrograde. 363 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,560 Mercury is just very quick and it usually shows where we have 364 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:12,600 to slow down, redo, pay more attention, not run around with 365 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,640 our head in the clouds, but be a little more grounded. 366 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,680 And by the way, in the retrograde cycle, there's no 367 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,480 such thing as a pre shadow. I've gone on and on about that. 368 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,400 I don't know who made it up, but my God, they've made a mess. 369 00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:30,120 So we have the pre retrograde, we have the station, we have the 370 00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:34,440 retrograde, we have the shadow. Well, the station and then the 371 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,600 shadow and the shadow is in a negative space. 372 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,840 The shadow just means the retrograde planet is moving back 373 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:47,640 over the space it retrograded. So it's in the shadow of the 374 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,000 retrograde or the wake. And you know, if you look at the 375 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,720 wake of a ship, if you're following the wake, you're 376 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,200 following where that ship is already gone. 377 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,200 And I hope that's a good analogy for you. 378 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,960 Retrograde is powerful. It's a powerful time. 379 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,360 One step forward, 2 steps back isn't always the case. 380 00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:13,360 It can be a cha cha, but nothing is ever supposed to be done just 381 00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:17,200 Willy nilly. If you want a strong foundation, 382 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:25,680 we're going to take a look at Saturn in the next episode. 383 00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:30,920 And of course our what's in the headlines is in the Patreon for 384 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:35,120 the $5 level and up. We get that up for the $15 level 385 00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:38,560 and up first. And then Tuesday it'll be 386 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,080 released to everybody else in the supporting tiers. 387 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,200 So you're not missing out, I promise. 388 00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:50,160 But since the magazine tier, which is the deep dives and 389 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:55,320 horoscopes, since they sponsor that part of the podcast, they 390 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,760 get it first and then it goes out to the $5 level. 391 00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:03,320 So if you've been wanting to become a supporting member of 392 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,440 the Awake Space community on Patreon, make sure you read the 393 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,040 show notes. You can save 50% on annual 394 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:17,840 memberships without patrons. There is no podcast because this 395 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:25,080 is 100% listener supported, no ads, no corporate sponsorships. 396 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,120 We are 100% listener supported and that I'm very proud of. 397 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,040 So I hope that all made sense today. 398 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:37,080 Let me know in the comments, how did Jupiter change for you in 399 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,520 hearing this? Perhaps new information or a 400 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,880 refresher if you've studied with me. 401 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:56,160 All right, so on the 29th we have Mercury stationing direct, 402 00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,200 so yay, but it might be a wibbly wobbly day. 403 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:05,600 And then December 1st we have Saturn stationing direct. 404 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,320 So let's talk about when things start moving forward again, 405 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:14,120 whence a planet stations a lot of times are like, yay, it's not 406 00:27:14,120 --> 00:27:18,160 going to be retrograde anymore. Usually the day of the station 407 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,280 where it looks like it's standing still, there's an 408 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,760 emphasis. It can feel like the brakes have 409 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:28,400 gotten hit or you've been steeled for One Direction of 410 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,600 movement and it comes from another direction. 411 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,120 So you know, like if you're on a subway and you're standing there 412 00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:35,600 and it stops and instead of going this way and you're ready 413 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,320 for it, you're going forward kind of like that. 414 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:43,200 It can be a bit wibbly, wobbly or jarring to our consciousness, 415 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,560 and that's because we like everything to stay the same. 416 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,360 We don't like movement. We don't like changes. 417 00:27:48,360 --> 00:27:51,160 We don't. We don't like those things as 418 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,080 human beings, and that's OK. We like predictability. 419 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,120 That's why some people become astrologers. 420 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,680 Guess who hates surprises? This astrologer. 421 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,120 That's one of the reasons. When I realized I could predict 422 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,560 fairly accurately just kind of what the energy was going to be 423 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,760 on the day-to-day, I was like, cool, I don't have to worry 424 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,600 about it too much. And as many young astrologer, I 425 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,800 learned to dread certain transits and be excited about 426 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,680 other wins. And then I had to learn some 427 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,040 lessons around that because sometimes when we dread 428 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,360 something, it doesn't show up. And sometimes when we dread it, 429 00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:27,480 we make it happen. We give a self fulfilling 430 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,360 prophecy. And sometimes when we're overly 431 00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:32,520 optimistic, we find disappointment. 432 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,600 And so learning to be the observer is a really important 433 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,480 thing. Mercury going direct does not 434 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,880 mean that you will have no problems, that you won't have 435 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,240 any tech issues. So many times throughout the 436 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,480 year when Mercury is minding its own business and people have a 437 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,000 day and a half, you know, where it's just everything goes wrong. 438 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,920 They'll be like, Laurie, is Mercury Retrick, right? 439 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,200 And I'm like, no, that's why we need to stop blaming Mercury for 440 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,400 everything. Something else may have changed 441 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,120 signs, You know, the moon could have been doing something. 442 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,800 We have global transits where we look at the big world events, 443 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,000 the big weather events, and then we have our individual 444 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,000 experiences. So I always like to use the 445 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,720 analogy of an airport or a train station where you can go and 446 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,920 watch people. If you're a people watcher. 447 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,920 I am. I love to just sit, watch and 448 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,920 observe people. And if you go to a place where 449 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,640 there's lots of people, they all have one thing in common. 450 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,920 If you're in an airport, people are looking to get on a plane to 451 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,800 go somewhere else. But there are reasons that could 452 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,480 be very different. Some people might be going home 453 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,720 for a wedding and maybe they don't want to go. 454 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,400 Some are really excited about it. 455 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,080 Sometimes it's the people getting married and sometimes 456 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,160 it's people who are showing up out of obligation, right? 457 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,320 Other people might be going home for a funeral, and some of them 458 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,800 are really sad and some of them are going there to make sure 459 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,800 that person's gone. And then you've got the people 460 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,560 who maybe you've had a really hard day and they're really, 461 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,600 really stressed out and they can't even explain why. 462 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,560 And other people, they're having the best day and the best luck, 463 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,400 and we can meet in the coolest people. 464 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,040 Every single person's having a different experience, and that's 465 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:15,920 our Natal transits. So we could have, let's say the 466 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:20,600 air space gets shut down like it did recently and flights get 467 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,360 cancelled. You're still going to see people 468 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,160 having a different experience. There could be a large amount of 469 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,440 people very angry and disgruntled and freaked out. 470 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,120 And you could have some people who are maybe a little less 471 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,800 reactive, a little more deliberate in their 472 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,280 consciousness going, well, let's make the best of it. 473 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,720 Let's play a game or let's go find out what we need to find 474 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,480 out and when we can do things. And then we're going to make 475 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,360 arrangements to make ourselves comfortable. 476 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,840 It depends on how you wield your consciousness, how deliberate 477 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,160 you are, how much you can let go of the things outside your 478 00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,960 control, and how much you can just step back. 479 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:05,520 And the same person who can be philosophical and determined and 480 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,680 self determinate on one day can be the person having a reaction 481 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,440 on another day. Because we all have weak 482 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:18,240 moments. We all have days we can be tired 483 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,640 and hungry and didn't prepare the way we needed to prepare. 484 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,440 We might have been in a rush, we could have stubbed our toe and 485 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:31,200 that cascaded the whole thing. The one thing you can't do and 486 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,600 thrive is is sit in self condemnation and beat yourself 487 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,120 up for not having this perfect attitude. 488 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,200 Everybody, including me, has very human moments. 489 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,480 Every, I always say every sign can be a jerk and every sign can 490 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,000 be an Angel, OK? And all of us have that jerk 491 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,080 side to us. There's times we can all be a 492 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:59,360 pain in the butt. There's a time we all can react 493 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,640 and there are times where we can respond. 494 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,920 And if you're responding more than you're reacting, you're 495 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,880 ahead of the game, OK? If you're reacting more than 496 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:17,120 you're responding, that's a lot of strain on the body and it's a 497 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,960 lot of strain on your mind, and it makes it hard to function. 498 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,520 And it doesn't mean there's something wrong with you. 499 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,000 It means you have tools to learn. 500 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,800 That's it. You got tools to learn. 501 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,400 And sometimes with all the tools in the world and all the 502 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:40,520 practice in the world, something comes up for examination that 503 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,120 makes you human. It doesn't make you a rotten, 504 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,040 low down son of a bitch. OK? 505 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:51,440 I want you to remember that as we go through the next week or 506 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,080 two, they're going to be volatile energy wise. 507 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:59,600 It doesn't mean it has to be bad for you personally, but it can 508 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:05,240 also mean it can be crunchy. It can be crunchy and we have to 509 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,520 take our time and work on things. 510 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,680 There's not a single person on this planet, no religious 511 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,280 leader, I don't care who it is, is perfect all the time. 512 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,880 There are people who will be reactive. 513 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,800 It just depends on how much training you've got and how much 514 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,880 of A course correction you can do and how quickly you can do 515 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:32,360 it. I just want to leave you with 516 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,760 that. Our next episode we're going to 517 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,000 be talking about Saturn. I'm so excited because Saturn is 518 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,440 one of my favorite planets. And remember, if you're at the 519 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,320 $15 level and up, you're going to get some companions to go 520 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,680 with the Using Your Astrology series. 521 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,280 My apologies. As life retrograded, I had some 522 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,200 sound. I did so much recording, you 523 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,320 guys wouldn't believe it and all of it. 524 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,600 I sounded like I sounded like Astrolary because the sound was 525 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,000 very off. It was a software conflict. 526 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,040 We got it figured out, but there's more to come and I look 527 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,239 forward to some things going direct so I can get the schedule 528 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,679 going. It's a new thing, so you know, 529 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:20,239 of course it got retrograded. Even astrologers are not immune 530 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:24,159 to transits.
