It's the awake space with Lori Rivers.
I'm Lori Rivers, your host. And this week is another big
shift in energy. We have Uranus moving into
Gemini, and it probably already has by the time you're listening
to it. It slides in about 7:00 AM
Eastern. And this is a whole new layer of
energy. It doesn't mean it's bad,
though. I, you know, so many people are
making the energy out to be like, it's automatically bad and
you need to watch out. And, you know, they talk about
the American Revolution, the Civil War, etcetera.
And you know, me, I'm kind of a stickler.
And so I'm going to talk to you a little bit of why a lot of
what I'm seeing on social media is kind of sort of it's, it's
not as accurate as people want it to sound.
They speak with a lot of confidence and we'll talk about
why that isn't working. We also have a full moon this
week and the full moon is in Capricorn.
It's got some interesting energy with it that you can really
leverage. And we'll be talking about that
and how you can make the most out of it even in uncertain
times. I know you want me to tell you
when it's going to get better. And my answer is always when we
make it better. So I'm going to invite you into
my field for a little bit. Field of what?
Field of energy. OK, I know I masquerade as the
lone astrologer out in the wilderness, but I'm an energy
worker and my job isn't really to predict events, although I do
that to get people paying attention and into my field of
influence. But my real job, my real job is
to help you navigate 1 of the biggest times of change in human
history. We have some real opportunities
and I know we like to look at leaders to make those moves, but
this time, this big shift, it's not for leaders to lead the way.
It's for the people to understand their power.
That and more here on the Awake Space podcast will get your tea,
get your coffee, get your iced coffee, get your hot cocoa.
If you're in the Southern hemisphere, New Zealand, you
too. I know I always mention
Australia, but New Zealand too, it's going to be a little cold.
Whatever your favorite bevy, if you're having a heat wave, get
your water and make sure you're drinking that.
And whether we are chilling out by the pool or we're driving to
work and we will get perfect parking or we're taking the kids
to the park or we're heading off on a road trip, whatever we're
doing, we're, you know, including the housework.
I love to know how I'm helping you get stuff done.
It's super fun whatever we're doing together.
May this information, may being in this field for this short
period of time, help you calibrate your energy to make
the most out of these moments in time that honestly gift us a
great deal of opportunity. All right, let's get the show on
the road. Well, I tell you, I tell you,
things are a little bit nuts. We saw what happened in Texas.
And the thing that got me that nobody else is talking about is
them throwing the meteorologists under the bus when the
meteorologists actually gave them a very good forecast.
That should have meant there were evacuations made ahead of
time. And I wanted to talk about this
because astrologers and meteorologists have a lot in
common. Yes, they're scientists, but
meteorology started as astrological processes.
Notice how many weather predictions I get right Does not
make me a meteorologist. That is my caveat.
I am not. I do have a passing interest in
weather because I've lived in places with extreme weather and
that's one of the reasons why when I do the mundane astrology,
I'm fairly accurate in in my predictions.
It's harder to pinpoint locations as an astrologer than
it is a meteorologer when they have all of their equipment, so
when they have access to the satellite information, etcetera.
However, Astro meteorology is one of the oldest forms of
astrology and it has a very long history.
No, there's not a lot written about it guys.
There just isn't. Mundane astrology tends to be
passed from teacher to student, not it's usually not written
down. Astrologers don't write down
their juicy bits of information because it's their livelihood
and so they'll pass it down to a student or two.
And if you're lucky, you know when you have a teacher run into
you. I had a teacher slam into me
when I was young. So here's the deal.
Whether you're analyzing data that's scientific or you're
analyzing data that is creative, or you're analyzing data for the
weather, or you're analyzing data for finance personal like
astrological traits, it's data, OK?
You you have parameters that you work with and you know that if
this condition and this condition are present, there is
a greater likelihood of a particular outcome, OK.
So when the sheriff of that county of Kirk County was
describing that they had received a forecast of only
three to six inches, followed up by a four to 8 inch prediction,
and they got 12 inches, they were not understanding what
they've been given. And the meteorologists have come
out, but everybody's still talking about the funding cuts
to NOAA and the funding cuts to the NWS.
And I'm not saying they shouldn't be fully funded, but I
want you to put that discussion away and understand that
throwing the meteorologist under the bus is showing the ignorance
of the sheriff. So just like when people come at
me on my predictions because they didn't listen to them fully
or they didn't understand what I was talking about, instead of
asking for clarity, they allow their ignorance to run the show,
including when they speak words. And that that sheriff
immediately showed his ignorance about what that volume of rain
could mean. Now, I am not speaking as an
astrologer when I'm talking about that weather forecast.
I'm speaking as somebody who has an interest in meteorology, who
lived in the Pacific Northwest, a good part of her life, because
precipitation happens a lot. And in the Northwest, in
Washington state, which has the biggest rainforest in North
America. OK, that's in Forks for all you
twilight fans. But even outside of Forks,
there's a hell of a lot of rain. 3 inches of rain in a single day
is a lot. That's a lot of water by four or
five inches of rain in a day. That's where you see salmon
swimming through the streets of Seattle. 8 inches of rain, which
was the top end of that forecast, is absolutely
catastrophic volumes of rain. I've lived through a day that
had over 8 inches of rain in the Pacific Northwest.
Trees were going root ball first.
OK. They didn't need any wind to
fall over the ground. Was that saturated?
The soil in the Pacific Northwest is made for water.
It drains now. I've been to the Hill Country.
It's a very beautiful place. It's very beautiful in a very
different way than the Pacific Northwest, OK.
It is very dry. The soil is not porous.
It's hard pan. It's why they have a lot of
cattle grazing instead of herbaceous farms.
OK, And there are farms, but it takes a lot more work to work
that soil than it does in in the valleys of the Pacific
Northwest. OK.
I grew up in Oregon and in the Willamette Valley, and let me
tell you that it was not hard to grow things.
OK, So that sheriff saying they didn't give us the right amount,
did not understand when the meteorologist said, hey, there's
a lot of water coming that can produce floods, they gave them a
flood warning. What the weather balloon could
have done would have maybe showed it was going to stall
out. And when a storm cycles or slows
down or stalls, it's just a tremendous amount of
precipitation. Again, I've lived through
weather events like that, and it's a lot.
I really think their Emergency Management plan was very poorly
done and it certainly wasn't executed well and people died.
Throwing meteorologists under the bus is like blaming
astrologers for world events when they happen or they don't
happen the way people want. It is a distinct lack of
understanding of the prediction. Now, again, I've lived in places
where the weather was a little extreme, so I learned to pay
attention to meteorologists and to listen to what they had to
say and not think I knew better. And the one of the problems in
EMS is there's a lot of machismo and macho behavior.
And I know I grew up with a firefighter for a dad and he's
soft and squishy now kind of that he's almost 80.
But try growing up with that. He was like the Marlboro Man.
And if you're old enough to know you're old enough to know
younger listeners, you probably won't know who the Marlboro Man
is. And you're going to have to look
up the Marlboro Man. There's a lot of tough it out.
There's a lot of it's a flesh wound, suck it up, buttercup.
And a lot of people died because warnings weren't put out.
So I would say the emergency preparedness was really poor.
And the lack of understanding of a prediction sent to them.
A forecast. Forecast and predict mean
exactly the same thing. OK, Forecast means to show
before, predict means to say before, but they mean saying
what's going to happen before it happens or showing it.
Remarkably huge failure on the part of the county management
and on the part of the state. OK, I don't know what it's going
to take for Texas to overthrow these guys because, you know, it
seems tragedy after tragedy happens in that state and no
change actually occurs, whether it's the power grids or it's
schools and children being safe. And, you know, Mike Johnson
saying all of people could do was pray for now that that
attitude is what needs to change and people need to be held
accountable. And those poor families, you
know, I don't want to hear that this is karma for voting for
Trump. It's I've talked a lot about
that in my Patreon, especially saying we have to humanize
people. And I know I've talked about it
on the podcast. We can't just label people and
and think we can decry who has karma and who hasn't.
Those were children. They have families.
We may philosophically agree, disagree.
We may not share the same theology.
We may not even like the same kind of toast.
But we need to have compassion for a massive loss of life and
for the the people retrieving the bodies, you know, for the
people who did jump into action. And the thing I can tell you
about Texas, having been there, there are so many good people.
I drove through Texas and 2014, my son and I took a road trip
from Seattle to Austin and we drove up the northern route.
So we went over the Rockies into Montana and down through Wyoming
and Colorado, through New Mexico and across from West TX into the
Hill Country. That's a long drive.
And I wasn't sure what I was going to find when I was in
Texas. We were going to visit some
friends who were just wonderful. But you know, there's exceptions
to rules, right? And I did not expect the amount
of kindness and help and generosity of spirit that I got
when I went to Texas because I'm a West Coast team.
I'm, you know, I'm the 6th generation from my town in
Oregon and we weren't new when we got there.
Yes, colonizer, but I was shocked by how kind people were
that we interacted with and just how helpful and understanding.
And in one particular incident, it had been a long drive.
We had driven from Colorado, got to I believe Amarillo, but the
GPS took me off the main freeway and I was doing country roads.
And by the way, it was very stormy at that time and I was
looking out for maybe tornadoes or big water.
And you could see where things had had flash floods as we drove
away, you know, drove around and I was like, Oh my God, I'm in
Yaris of all things, Little tiny Toyota.
As we drove, I was I had filled up every chance I could get, but
we'd been driving for a long time and I had only 1/4 of a
tank left and we were still in the boonies.
And the GPS finally had me take a right, and then a left and
then another right. And all of a sudden we went from
gravel county roads on to tarmac on to the asphalt of a regular
pave Rd. We got to an actual stop sign.
It was like, it was like one second we're in one environment,
the next we're in another. It was very abrupt change.
And there was a big billboard over the steakhouse that said,
this, this is God. You were asking for a sign.
And my son and I started laughing.
And we got got in, you know, and parked and into the steakhouse.
And I was rummy. I was worn out.
I'd probably driven 14 hours, you know it, because we had
literally left Colorado Springs and I hadn't found a place.
I really wanted to stop at Lake because again, I was on twisty
county roads. I wasn't on a freeway.
And I was tired and I got in and I was probably dehydrated.
And I was swaying on my feet. And the host of the restaurant
looked at me and he went, ma'am, are you OK?
And I said, I've driven a long time.
And he said, yeah, is that your car out there?
And I had Washington plates. I'm like, yes, Sir, it is, yes,
you need some water. I'm like, yes, Sir, I do.
And I went to the ladies and tried to wash up and tidy myself
a little bit. And my son and I said, he this
guy brought me the biggest pitcher of water you ever saw.
And he just made sure we were OK.
He didn't think I was inebriated or in bad shape.
I looked as tired as I was. And though his first thought
was, are you hydrated? There's a lot of good people in
Texas just like that. Think of all the people who are
showing up to help their neighbors.
It's easy to be angry right now, especially after that disastrous
piece of legislation got signed on our Independence Day.
And it's hard to have compassion when bully boys are kidnapping
people in the streets. But we still need to see each
other as humans. And we need to understand, if
we're to make it through this time in one piece, that in the
United States, we see each other as neighbors and we have
compassion, we have empathy, and we humanize people.
That doesn't mean give people a pass from things they need to be
held accountable for, but we don't need to dehumanize people
to hold them accountable. If we do that, we are the same
as those who would say they are our enemies.
OK, so that's me on my soapbox. Predictions are never set in
stone. Facts.
They are communications from someone with expertise in a
field of study, with a knowledge base that gives a range of data
and information to people. OK.
That's why I will say most likely or it could happen, we
might see. Those are the conditional
language devices that I use. Meteorologists give ranges of
volume of precipitation. Have you ever had somebody say
zero to 1 inch of snow? Although where I lived in
Northwest Washington, every time this particular weatherman on
the TV would say zero to 1 inch of snow.
We knew we were getting 3 feet because in order to produce the
right kind of conditions to have it snow in that one spot, if it
started, especially in the evening, it wasn't going to
stop. OK, if it started in the
morning, it might be 0 to 1 inch because it might have a chance
to warm up a little bit. But if it had started in the
afternoon or in the evening, we knew.
We knew we weren't driving anywhere the next day.
Hills and the snow turns to contacted ice on the roads
there. So 3 to 6 inches is what they
said. That's a lot of water.
Just the low end was a lot of water. 4 to 8 inches is a lot of
water. That's like saying there could
be an earthquake ranging between A4 and A6.
It the seismic measurements on the Richter scale, there's a
huge difference between A4 and A5 and A5 and A6.
OK, huge differential. OK.
So these, these are important things to remember.
And when you're listening to an astrologer, anybody who says
this is going to happen for certain is trying to be a
prophet. You know, someone's an analyst
when they use conditional language.
One way is unethical. The other way is using proper
protocols, methodologies and processes.
OK, That's how you tell the difference.
Because anybody trying to sound like Baba Vanga or anybody being
a prophet or wanting to be an Oracle, that's fortune telling.
Somebody giving analysis is going to use conditional
language. We could see this.
We might see that. By the way, Malcolm's in the
studio. He's he's trying to make the rug
more comfy. You know, when they dig a little
nest, like, why is the plate about to fall over Anyway?
He's making himself comfy. He might come up to say hi in a
minute. Right now he's just grooming,
getting comfy. He gets really worried when I
leave him at home. And if you're new to the
podcast, Malcolm's my dog. So anyway, so just to let you
know, that's the analysis on there.
So let's talk about arenas in Gemini.
What what can we expect? And here's the deal.
Expect the unexpected. You heard me, expect the
unexpected. Gemini's kind of Joker energy.
It's curiosity. It is the concrete mind versus
the higher mind in metaphysics. So the concrete mind is where
think about engineering if you want to pour some concrete.
The construction, the math of construction, the math of an
astrology chart, that's the concrete mind.
The higher mind deals with interpretation, ideas, ideals,
inspiration, genius. OK.
And so it's an interesting energy.
We're elevating our thoughts, can't really use it.
Before it was noticed by humans, discovered by humans, which was
I believe 1781 and I believe by Herschel and 1776.
It wasn't an operation yet. Also all the people talking
about the American Revolution and Uranos.
Uranos or Uranus. I love how other people have
been stealing my Uranos. You know, I, I've caught a whole
bunch of new content creators. I'm like Uranos.
I'm like most people don't pronounce it that way.
They either say Uranos or they say Uranus.
I just chose to say Uranos, which in the transcripts will
look like your nose. Also funny.
Uranus in Gemini, expect the unexpected.
It's just going to be weird. OK, so one of the ways we lean
into it, because it's at 0°, any of the outer planets are just
wild card and energy. You know, we have to observe
them for a hot minute to kind of get a grasp of how they're
expressing within that spectrum of understanding.
But we'll have your maintenance in Gemini in a sextile, sextile
with Saturn and with in a trine with Pluto, Pluto's retrograde.
That's a little bit of interesting energy.
It's really going to be destabilizing in society for a
little bit. People are going to start asking
a lot of questions. We may hear a lot of profound
questions. Information is going to be
popping like popcorn, and the tech sector is probably going to
be doing some very interesting things.
I think we'll see more use of drones on a lower end.
AI is certainly going to expand under this.
It's not sentient. It's not conscious.
OK. What is confusing for people is
it has been trained to speak in the first person.
So you feel like you're having a conversation with a thinking,
feeling, sensing, being that grown was Malcolm.
Malcolm, do you want come up or am I just talking and
interrupting your nap? I'm interrupting his nap.
I don't even know if you could hear it because this mic does a
pretty good job of being directional.
But he was just like, aw, so it's like you're disturbing me.
But anyway, so it could be a little wild.
It could be a little wild coming up with the full moon.
On a personal level. I think that full moon is kind
of magical. You know?
I think it's a really important time to deconstruct inside of
ourselves. Just let some of our own
adherence to patriarchy, internalized patriarchy,
internalized misogyny, internalized power dynamics,
just to let it go, let it, let it release.
I think this full moon is great for that and then finding our
actual power. I'm very excited because I'll be
teaching this week in my summer program, Align and Thrive.
There's still a little time to sign up if you want to.
If you get the whole meal deal, you get finding your psychic
using astrology, you get healing the money wound.
You get the professional development series.
First class is on for the professional development series
where we're not using astrology for that.
We're we're, I'm literally giving you professional
development training. The first of eight classes on
that is setting expectations with clients or customers and
client management tools. Because a lot of times you get
certified like as a counselor, a coach, a graphic designer, or
maybe even as an engineer. Or maybe you go to medical
school, but nobody teaches you how to get a job.
Nobody teaches you how to run your practice.
So if you decided to become a doctor in private practice, you
do your residency in the hospitals, but unless you get a
mentor or you then put go into private courses, you don't
really know how to run a practice.
You learn about the laws, you learn about your rights and
obligations, but you don't learn much about anything when it
comes to marketing. And some industries have a lot
of rules around finance and medicine have a lot of rules
around how they can market. But still, you know, you don't
get taught about how to start and end with a patient.
And that's why so many people have bad bedside manners because
they've got all the knowledge and some technical skills, but
they don't know how to interrelate with people.
The people who can interrelate with others do pretty well.
So that's that's what starts on the 8th, but there's time to
sign up. You can check out the show
notes. I'm excited to teach the things
I wanted to teach for a long time.
I used to teach these at an online Business School way back
in 20/13/2014 and it's really exciting to be able to do it
under my own banner. I've had these curriculums in
play for a while and I've worked with my clients on doing these
things as well, but it's going to be super fun.
Marketing Magic is another part of that.
That's a class and aligned content creation, which is also
exciting. So if you're already in, make
sure if you got the monthly payment plan and you haven't
been able to get in the groups, hold tight.
I'll get in before we start. There's not, I'm, I don't, I
don't give homework ahead of the first sessions.
OK? I just don't if I'm assigning
homework. So there's no, there's no
rushing ahead. I, I hold everybody and I pace
you because I found that because people went through public
school, which is designed to warehouse people to have them
prepared for a post industrial economy, people have learned to
either rush through it and just get it done so you can pass the
test. Mia culpa, Mia culpa, Mia culpa.
If you do that or people are wanting to be like really good
to impress the teacher, I'm not grading you.
This is personal development and professional development.
The only person you need to impress is you.
I am the vessel delivering information.
What you do with it is up to you, but I don't like people
rushing ahead. I like people to make those
transformations like a time release capsule.
I keep hitting my mic. All right, so what's coming up
next? Obviously, we're going to do
some patron shout outs because without patrons, this podcast
doesn't happen. And I'll give you the what to
expect in the headlines and I'll talk more about that full moon
as we move towards the end. And I'll give you the update on
what's going to happen in Patreon this week, because
there's some cool stuff. All right, all right, let's do
what's in the headlines. Then we'll do some patron shout
outs and do the full moon. All right, we're going to talk
about what is in the headlines, and I've got my handy dandy
readers on the kind of help. The problem is with these
contacts. They're designed for me to use
while driving. So I see really, really far
away. I don't know what I'm trying to
read on my phone. There is no way farther than
this arm, OK, Even with the cheaters on, I'm like, tell you,
can I tell you? It's my birthday month.
I turned 56, which makes me officially pushing 60.
I feel like I'm like in my 30s. I don't understand.
I am confused by the passage of time.
All right, let's take a look at what we've got in the headlines
for this week. I know you guys know what it
means when I start to laugh. Welcome to the shit show.
Oh guys, I would love it to get better too, but you know what we
are in a massive initiatory process as a species, so that's
right. I'll talk about that later.
All right, July 6th through the 9th, we have the Moon in
Sagittarius and it's piping hot and it's spilling beans,
especially like once it just enters on the 6th because
because it's going to be in a trine with Neptune, which is
retrograde and Neptune retrograde is all about spilling
the beans. It's the truth telling, the
clear seeing. So that should be fascinating.
But anyway, we've got big fire rages out of control.
Could be a homeless encampment or public land in the United
States or a Bush fire elsewhere in the world.
Depends on where you live and what they're called.
Explosion due to corrosive materials, especially near
waterways. Extreme heat, record bait
breaking temperatures, major issues with marine travel,
issues at ports or on cruises, and it could be another poop
cruise. All ceasefire attempts fail.
So we're going to see things kind of erupt in the Middle East
in different places. And you know, I don't think
it'll be a run hitting Israel, but it'd probably be Israel
cleaning something that Iran did and they'll smack them.
We can see issues with the United Nations, NATO, EU and
other international organizations.
They could be having crises, Supreme Court justices in the
headlines, or it could be high courts in other countries.
High profile bankruptcies. So like a big corporation or a
brand name, something you wouldn't expect.
And remember, not all bankruptcies mean they're going
out of business. Some bankruptcies are
restructuring Treasury and Federal Bank in the United
States under pressure, probably Trump is going to call Powell
names again. And Powell's just going to be
like, So what? You know, But it's funny when he
can't believe someone. Congress in turmoil
constitutional crisis. We could see that acts of war or
terrorist attacks and that could be anywhere.
We well we could see something in the United States this week
that looks like a terrorist attack.
We could, but I think it's more with the full moon, but I could
be wrong. We could see a big accident at
sea. It could be a hull the ship
capsized boat, someone lost at sea of refugee boat with, you
know, people having accidents or Navy skirmish or all of it.
All of that could be up in the headlines.
U.S. dollar holds value, bonds remain stable, markets stay
steady. Info leaked regarding Elon Musk.
We could see political violence, nationalism, right wing and left
wing clash. That's global issues with Navy
submarines or warships. International agreements fail or
are suspended. Journalist speak out, refused to
comply with censorship and double down on resisting attacks
on his free speech. Religious leaders or
organizations may be under fire or they may be the one firing
maritime incidents, accidents or issues imports.
We could see a political leader fall.
I'll have public health crisis or leader of some party.
Any party globally has issue that is impossible to deny.
So there's no cover up. There's it's they're caught red
handed and it could be a serious health concern or even an
accident. Especially with Uranus popping
into Gemini. We could see a high profile
figure on the 7th have an accident, big international
accident involving other people from many countries or involves
a border crossing, accidents with middle or sorry missiles
and or satellite launches or even SpaceX.
There could be some issues there.
Explosions, chemical plant failures, and nuclear waste
earthquakes have above a six point O offshore.
More likely as as our volcanoes that have lava flows or
underwater volcanoes. Keeping my eye on Japan with
that. I had an underwater volcanic
eruption between July 5th and the 7th so that could fall into
that time frame as well. There was a volcano that went
off in Japan, just not the underwater one.
I'm looking at July 9th through the 11th.
We have the moon in Capricorn and it's showing who really is
in charge. So anything, it ain't anybody
who says they are right now. There's we may see some
revelations about where the power really stands and this
could also be a massive weather event.
We could see rain, flooding, ice melt, erosions, lock rock sides,
sinkholes, or infrastructure failures could involve massive
loss of life and or infrastructure.
This would be anywhere there could be a rainstorm.
This is a tremendous amount of wind, a tremendous amount of
precipitation. It could be a hurricane.
It could be part of a tropical storm.
But as we saw in Texas, it doesn't have to be super windy.
In fact, sometimes it's a storm. Stalls and cycles.
You know, it just keeps hanging out in one spot.
It can just dump a tremendous amount of rain.
I've, I've lived through a storm like that and it's just
unbelievable how much rain can fall.
So keep your eye on the forecast.
Even though the NWS has had cuts, they are still doing their
damnedest. Get those forecasts out to the
weather apps and things like that.
OK, So keep your eye on what radar you can find.
Let's see failed dictatorships, authoritarians deposed, forced
out or voted out. And that's global.
This could be anywhere in the world.
Issues with sea level rise and or flooding.
So this is anywhere in the world, but we're going to look
at coastal areas with tides, discussion of water and mineral
rights and public land use. That's going to be up in the
headlines between the 9th and the 11th.
Let's see. Immediate blowback for gaffes in
public speaking. Popular person or person of
notes says something that gets them cancelled or loses them
support. So somebody says something so
stupid or so egregious it loses even their greatest supporters.
Leadership of all kinds is challenged.
Big event, historic event, could be violence, storms, terrorism
or political upset. And that can be come with that.
Full moon in Capricorn might even come just ahead of it.
OK, on maybe in the ninth evening, bombings, terrorist
attack, explosion of some kind. I've got my eye actually on the
East Coast, more specifically in the Washington, DC area,
probably around places of note. I know they've got a lot of
security, but you never know what happens.
King Charles or other royal could face a deepening health
crisis, or there's an announcement around their
health. Landslide, mudslide, rockfall,
sinkholes. Let's see, is she with military
jet or helicopter? Air accident or train
derailment? Donald Trump under strain.
It's not a great full moon for him.
It's just not. And it's putting a tremendous
amount of strain on his kidneys. And we'll see what happens with
that. Security problems in public
spaces, Civil unrest and protests Global.
Elon makes big statements and is also under pressure.
Corporate failures CE OS removed and bankruptcies announced.
Public figure. Political leader has a health
crisis that leads to hospitalization or happens in
public view. It could be an illness, a fall
neurological issue. This is global.
Don't get your hopes up, but maybe, again, don't get your
hopes up. I'm just saying maybe guys
really drive me nuts with it. Yeah, act like I like, can like
magically see this stuff. I'm like, no, I'm doing
calculations. I don't have the universe
whispering in my little seashells.
I wish I did. Issue with an oil pipeline
platform or drilling operation at sea.
Seismic activity increased potential up to 65.
Or there could also be volcanic action offshore, mostly around
that full moon. Probably that'd be a release
issues that US borders accidents on mountain or at height.
Issues at US borders, accident on a mountain or at high
elevation, violence could break out in the United Kingdom, and
that's anywhere, including Northern Ireland.
So there's that. And then let's see, we got that
moon in Aquarius. That's going to be a little bit
interesting. So the 11th, Friday to Sunday,
the 13th, we've got the moon in Aquarius.
And when I'm reading it from the magazine here, it says the moon
in Aquarius is spitting lasers. And so I always forget what I
write. So I amuse myself.
All right, we got big wind, big, big wind.
If you thought we've had bad wind this year, just wait till
Uranus hits Gemini. That's just it's doubling down
and it's in a sextile with Pluto.
So this is just very powerful winds.
Southern hemisphere could face massive storms with surges and
erosion causing waves. We could see a tsunami in the
Asia Pacific region. Satellite cell towers or
Internet cables fail, topple or cut.
So this could be something happening in the Persian Gulf,
the Red Sea, you know, stuff could be going on in that area.
Solar storm or Northern Lights or both happen.
We could see communication failure, satellite malfunctions,
Internet glitches and hacking, announced censorship, new terms
of service in social media, or popular creator influencer loses
account. That could be all of it or none
of it. Some of it AI accident because
of AI or use of AI soon to be problematic in a serious way.
So, you know all those CE OS getting their rocks up thinking
they can fire a bunch of employees and replace them with
AI. They're going to find out.
So this is the FO stage of the FAFO cycle.
International agreements and treaties fail.
International disruptions, satellite failures, huge
protests in Eastern Western Europe.
Southern hemisphere deals with sudden storms, snow, ice or
erosion causing events. Innovations announced in tech or
medical equipment. Military helicopter, jet or
plane could have an accident. Not just the United States
military. This could be any military, the
icebergs, melting glaciers and sea ice, a mock that is the
Atlantic current and climate change fertilizer, farm
technology and land could be up on deck, especially farm
equipment stabbing teaser misuse, cattle prods, electric
shocks, drone attacks in public spaces.
This is this could be either teasers used by officials, but
it could be a member of the public runs around with cattle
prods. It's going to be weird.
OK. If it happens, we could see
vehicular violence in crowded spaces on the increase big issue
in Asia or Asia Minor. Explosive event could include
acts of war, seismic activity, surprise announcement regarding
political leader figure or elected official, dollar dips or
money market and bonds or commodities are all unstable.
Tech sector volatile issues with AI and more layoffs, hurricanes,
tornadoes, big windstorm, massive windstorm.
Tech sector volatile issues with AI and more Layoffs, public
uprisings, protests and graffiti.
We something to do with Banksy maybe?
And we might also hear something about Julian Assange or someone
compared to him. We could.
We'll also see missile launches, bombings and drone attacks.
I think Israel and Iran might get heated back up again.
Israel can't sit on its hands for long.
It loves its pre emptive strikes.
So just a reminder, this is just for what's up in the headlines.
There's lots of good stuff that's coming.
I'm going to talk a little bit more about how you can make the
most out of this full moon energy coming up because that's
mundane and it's what we could see in the headlines.
It doesn't mean it's the only things happening, doesn't mean
there isn't any good news, and it doesn't mean it's going to be
bad for you personally. Got to learn how to train the
mind to understand that lots of things that can seem like
opposing ideas can happen on the same day.
OK, nothing is all bad. Nothing is all good.
Some things are neutral, but headlines tend not to be the
best of humanity. OK, so coming up next, we're
going to talk about our Patreon. What's going on in Patreon?
If you want to know the schedule of events, what we're doing this
week. And I'll give my shout outs to
our newest patrons because without patrons, COA space is
not ad free and free to listen to.
So make sure you think our patrons in the comments.
All right, all right, it's that time.
So thought I'd do a little announcement about what's
happening in the patron just so if you were thinking about
joining and you're like, I don't know what happens there.
I purposely don't put up a schedule or a calendar.
I know some people do, but when I do, it just doesn't work.
You see, I have the South Node in Virgo conjunct Pluto.
So anytime I give a rigorous schedule, which I prefer, again,
it's myself, Node. I like to be very organized.
However, it is not my Dorma in this lifetime to have a schedule
and so that is why I do not have one.
One of the things I think people have is a lot of FOMO like
missing out on chats when I do audio live streams or when I pop
in to do chats, etcetera. You, you don't have to catch
everything. There's so much material you can
listen to. There's the Q&A library, there's
the collections for beginning astrology, meditations of facts.
Speaking of meditations, I mean, I'm, I'm going to make a couple
that come out this month to help deal with some of this very
volatile energy. It's really kind of wacky
energy. So and people be like, oh,
grounding. No, we're not.
We're not going to be grounding anytime soon.
We can recenter, we can learn to recalibrate, but none of us are
going to find any grounding or rooting or rootedness probably
until Saturn gets into Taurus. And that's coming up what, end
of 2027, early 2028, something like that.
I know I have my second Saturn return in 2028.
Super exciting. So we're not going to go around,
but we can recalibrate. And I'm making some very, very
special recordings for patrons at the different levels.
So people who are at at the higher levels are going to get
maybe more advanced visuals that, that really resonate
because, you know, the people who can feel who, who I am, you
know, they come in in different spaces.
So again, it's not just about the predictions or the
entertainment value, even though I try to make sure it's
entertaining, but there's a lot of important energy that's
transmitted through my work, even here on the podcast.
Because as a world server, as a world teacher, it's my job to
help you navigate through this immense initiatory process in
the world. And of course, the more you come
in and in and in through commitment, the deeper the
transmissions of the energy are. So and people will resonate
where they resonate, you know, it's no, no harm, no foul, no
better, no worse. It's just there's layers of
intensity. So there's that.
So let's talk about our news patrons.
Let's let's say hello to our news patrons.
Let's see you know, it's my birthday of my.

Wow. Thank you all so much for being
members. Without you, there is no me.
All right, let's talk about what we can do with this full moon
energy. And of course, I will give even
more detail in the Patron Only podcast.
Let's talk about that full moon in Capricorn and what we can do
with that energy. So full moons are always a
release. The most powerful moment before
a full moon is just the just the hours before it makes it full.
OK, you aren't feeling the moon be full before it's full.
You're feeling the waxing gibbous phase and that's where
the pressure builds. OK, so when people are saying I
feel the full moon in advance, no, there are 8 moon phases.
When you're feeling in advance, you're actually feeling the
phase before the full moon. That's the intensity that
because you have all this energy building and there's a release
in the full moon. And so people can be emotional
during a full moon. You can have, you know, just be
teary. You might blow your top.
You know, people who have less control of their consciousness
tend to act out. And when we see things that look
like lunacy, right? That means being impacted by the
moon, especially the full moon. If you are a healthcare worker,
if you work in EMS, then you know all about full moons and
people doing crazy things. Not everybody does crazy things
during a full moon, and yet none of us are exempt from it.
We all have our moments, do we not?
So here's the deal with the full moon, by the way, if you do work
in a hospital or in an emergency department or your EMS,
firefighter, etcetera, this one's going to have some crunchy
accidents and you may see a lot of broken bones, joints bending
the wrong way. You could see fingers stuck in
car doors. There were probably some really
spectacular car accidents, but there could be some miracle
saves, you know, So it's, it's not all bad, but there's,
there's, there's some stuff with this, especially again, if you
work in healthcare or you're in an emergency field, those are
the type of accidents or injuries you might, you might
see it. It's going to be interesting.
I'm trying to sit comfortably. Excuse me, I feel like, you
know, lift them. Suck it in.
Anyway. Oh, the end of the podcast.
All right, I'm tired. I've been recording for hours.
Only you knew what goes into these things.
People think, oh, it's got to be simple.
You just have a mic and you talk.
Oh Lord. Anyway, it's easier than many
other things I have done in life.
Let's put it into perspective. Fine, I won't lean.
Oh my God, this makes me set up straight.
And that's some of the energy is showing up in her best light,
not being slouchy, not being messy.
We've got Mars in Virgo training off with this full moon.
It's in an exact train, about 10 hours ahead of the full moon
itself, but that energy carries on.
If you want to show up in your own authority, if you want to
show up with all of your agency, you can't half ass it.
And that's what this full moon is saying now.
Not talking about perfection, but most people start things a
little less than committed, OK, They don't want to put in the
time, they don't want to put in the discipline.
They want to be an instant expert.
I've seen it in any special interest or or hobby or or field
I have studied. OK, people read one book and
they think they know they've, they've done two whole years of
study and they think they they are qualified as an expert.
No, that's not how it works. It was one of the things I found
out even as a hand spinner where you spin urine on a spinning
wheel. And I, I have the opposite
problem. I will study and study and study
and study and study and study and study and study and never
quite feel like I know enough until I'm like 5-10 years in,
You know, once I've got five years and I'll be like, all
right, I think I've got this mastered.
Now I can call myself an expert, but that's because I really look
up to learned people and I'm not going to think I've mastered
something. In fact, I still don't call
myself a master astrologer. I mean, once in a while to
establish, you know, that I am, and I really, truly am.
I've been at this for 30 years. It's consumed my life.
I I had didn't just sit and read a couple of books and pull
charts once in a while. This has been an everyday thing
since 1995, and I've read for thousands of people around the
globe, every walk of life, every vocation, every calling you can
think of, whether it's CE, OS and other C-Suite executives,
politicians, people from institutional wealth, people who
didn't have nothing, students of all kinds, professionals of all
kinds. I'm always excited about the
scientists and the engineers. You know, when scientists and
engineers book with me, I feel very privileged because I know
they're watching that I have a methodology and it's like always
a compliment. But I've had artists and
musicians and and people who live in the more intuitive
realms. I say all these things to go
with this Capricorn full moon because this is about owning
expertise that you possess, and rightly so.
OK, you've got the time, you've got the experience, and you're
showing up as somebody who can claim whatever experience you
have legitimately. OK, one of the worst things you
can do is adopt false expertise. The other worst thing you can do
is to not admit your expertise when you have it.
And the wonderful astrologer Joanne Wickenburg, when I was in
my 30s, said, Lori, just write the books.
You know, you don't need any more qualifications.
And I couldn't hear her, you know, thought she was just being
nice because it was so hard on myself.
And this is about truly owning your expertise.
If you've got it now, what do you do?
If you're young, you know, if you're, if you're, you know,
under 25, if you're under 30, you know, you, you have
expertise though you, there are things you know really, really
well. And if you know, if it's video
games, then then let's have a chat, OK?
Video games teach you problem solving skills.
There's analysis. If you play an MMORPG, then you
know how to communicate and collaborate.
You're an expert in team organization.
You know, what's your role if you're in, you know, a a Guild,
you know what, what is your role in that?
Do you show support? Are you an expert in supporting
others? That's one of my son's things.
He's like, I don't want to be in charge.
I want to be the best number two, OK.
And I'm like, well, explain that.
And he goes, look, the number one needs a really good #2
because the number one has a lot of work.
And I'm a really good support person and I want to support a
good leader. I don't necessarily want to
lead. And, and his logic is because
it's hard to find a good number two.
I was like that my son is genius.
Because you're not wrong. So Capricorn deals with
authority, OK, Deals with ambition.
What's in the way of your ambitions, my friends?
It's you. You're in the way.
It is not just society, it is not just the government, it is
not just rules and regulations. If we go back through history,
there have always been individuals who moved against
the norm and they may have had consequences for it, but they
did it anyway. Whether it was societal norms,
cultural norms. Think of Oscar Wilde, yes he did
do jail time for being a homosexual and he also got out
of jail and continued to write and afflict the comfortable.
Was it fair? No, no it wasn't.
But life often isn't and so it is about showing up as yourself.
I do believe in the remaining as safe as possible.
OK, Not everybody is connected like Oscar Wilde was.
Oscar Wilde still had enough connections that even though he
was jailed and made uncomfortable, he could have
faced far worse fates. OK, He was connected within
society. We have to understand where we
are privileged and where we're not when we stand up in in our
full authority. But most times, for most people,
a lot that is in our way is ourselves.
Whether you're holding yourself to too high a standard, or
you're thinking you need more qualifications, or you think you
need more education, or you think you need better equipment,
or you think you think you think you think, that's not always the
case. If you never start, you don't
know. People think failure is a
terrible thing. It's not.
It teaches you, and in fact, I don't believe in failure.
This is would be a good attitude to adopt.
There's learning and there's growing and you're either doing
one or the other until the day you die.
Period. OK, so if you've been holding
yourself back, if you've been waiting for somebody else to
tell you you're ready, if you've been waiting for permission, the
only person's permission you need is your own.
And if you think you need more money, you don't have enough
capital. I'm going to argue with you now.
That's not true. I'm completely self funded and I
didn't have a lot. In fact, that's how I became an
astrologer professionally. You know, it's like I was a
single mom and came back to the States with two kids, 50 bucks,
no one would hire me. They didn't believe my resume
because they didn't trust e-mail.
Back in the 90s, you know how nobody likes AI?
Well, guess what? Nobody liked e-mail.
And no one believed I had been to 23 countries, 4 continents,
because I was a cute little thing.
And when I was 29, I looked like I was about 12.
People always thought I was my kids babysitter.
And which 30 is so young? You know, we think we make
these. Hollywood has really fucked up
people's perception of age. But anyway, no one believed this
cute little thing had been very brave and gone to a lot of
different places and worked at some very prestigious
occupations and did a lot of really cool things.
And I got a hold of my astrology teacher.
I'm like, I don't know what to do.
Do you see anything in the transits?
I, I, I'm trying to get a job and I'm just hiring me.
And he was like, better put your shingle out there.
And I was like, what? And he's like, you know, just
read astrology charts. And I was like, oh, I don't
think I know enough. I've only been at this three
years. And he goes, you've been doing
it 8 hours a day for three years.
I think you're ready. Oh, and I'm like, well, I don't
know what to do. How do I get started?
And he's like, put an ad in the classifieds.
And I was like, OK, so this is the newspaper.
There was like the penny saver. There was what the, the set, the
nickel ads, something like that. There were all these cheesy
little papers, you know, before print was obsolete.
And I put in, you know, astrologer, you know, private
readings, X amount of dollars, call the number.
And people got a hold of me right away.
I did not charge enough because I didn't know what to charge.
I didn't know what people were charging there.
There was no way to know that stuff.
Nobody told me. And I didn't even know where to
look. And so I probably read 10 or 15
people at an ungodly, unreasonably cheap price, even
in the 90s. And I would meet them in public
spaces because I could not afford an office space.
So I would take the bus maybe an hour into town and I would meet
in a private in a public space. And it was a little dicey
sometimes. And then I finally found another
professional astrologer locally and I, they were charging a lot
more than me, which I was fine with.
I just saved my money and I and I went and I had a reading with
her and she was a really good astrologer.
She was also social worker slash counselor.
And she was really, really good. And I got some idea of how to
start and end the session from her.
Because again, nobody trained you.
That's why I'm doing the professional development
workshops in July to help people learn some basic skills in
managing clients. Starting and ending on time, not
giving yourself away, how to price things like that.
That I didn't get it, I didn't know.
I learned from experience, and experience is what makes you an
expert. Knowledge does not make you an
expert. Understanding how to apply the
knowledge makes you an expert. Just because you can regurgitate
information. Well, I can.
I don't need somebody who can regurgitate.
I have the Internet at my disposal and discernment and
common sense, and I can look up knowledge.
How to use the knowledge is what's worth time with people.
And so you want to look at what do you know?
What do you have experience in? Experiences often learn through
Hard Knocks. You can know it in theory all
you want until you've stepped into it.
And that's what this full moon is about.
It's about owning your expertise and then planning on what you're
going to do with it. OK, How are you going to make
use of the energy? And that's super, super
important. OK, so I'll be talking about
this more in depth on the Patron Only podcast and that's going to
be super fun and let's see what else is going to happen this
week. We have so much.
We have so much happening all at the same time.
It's crazy sauce. It's crazy sauce.
If you watched last weeks episode you saw the July slides.
So just this week, the 6th we have Venus sextile Saturn and
Venus sextile Neptune. This this could be some pretty
interesting energy when we find out some more information about
leaders. And again, the economy looks
pretty good with that. But fibs will be uncovered, of
course, we have Venus is training off with Pluto as well,
and she's supercharging the people.
And so it's a really good idea for you to really think about
how you want to communicate yourself and how you want to
communicate your empowerment. That's a great way to use that
energy. Let's see, Saturn station was
retrograde at the end of the week and this is going to put a
little more pressure on liters. So so will that full moon.
So having Saturn retrograde on July 12th and it's not going to
be retrograde first thing in the morning probably take a look
here. So Saturn stations on the 12th
and it's retrograde on the 13th. It spends about 24 hours
stationed, maybe a little more. And station means it looks like
it's stopped in the sky. But I think authoritarian
governments and authoritarian so-called leaders, my way or the
highway people are going to have some problems.
And I look forward to that. A little bit of schadenfreude.
Expect some of those county officials to be in trouble.
You know, they've been throwing meteorologists under the bus and
not wanting to talk about things.
Now is not the time to talk about it.
Kind of like when there's a school shooting.
You know, don't politicize this. Even though people died, they
may start getting some heat they haven't had in the same way.
And it could be that somebody well connected or very
privileged or in the high levels may have lost someone or was
impacted or is connected to someone.
And this may be the start of some change in that county at
the very least. Maybe not in the state, but you
got to start somewhere. Hopefully someone will be held
accountable for not giving adequate warning because it
wasn't the meteorologist's fault.
Yes, they needed the equipment, but according to the
meteorologist's office, they were missing senior staff who
would communicate the information.
And I was married to a state employee and he had to deal with
county people and they did Emergency Management planning
and, and a lot of times county sheriffs are not always the
brightest bulbs in rural areas. Sometimes they are.
We actually had a great one for a while.
But sometimes they're a little macho and and a little thick
headed. And a couple times when it was
down to Emergency Management planning, my, my ex-husband had
to yell at some county officials for having rocks in their heads.
And that's the kind of staff they left, the people with the
seniority who could get away with saying, look, you dodo
brain, we need to get an emergency signal out, get the
bat signal up. So we may see some of that with
this full moon energy. Because remember, the moon stays
full for 2 1/2 or sorry, 3 1/2 days.
It changes signs every 2 1/2 days.
So yeah. So next week I have an amazing
guest. I have Miss Olivia Edward,
daughter of John Edward, the psychic medium, who's a friend
of mine. And I said, hey, why don't we
have Olivia on the show? Because she is the host of the
Astrology podcast on Evolve Plus TV.
And if you don't know what Evolve is, well, you're going to
find out next week. I look forward to seeing you
next week. We will get through these crazy
energies together. If you need some hand holding or
community, come right into the Awake Space Patreon.
It's a membership platform when you get wonderful benefits for
being a member. I'm Lori Rivers, your host, and
I look forward to talking to you soon.
