1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,600
It's the Awake Space Astrology 
podcast. 

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,520
I'm Lori Rivers, your host here 
to help you with some 

3
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:09,880
inspiration to get those 
aspirations out into the world. 

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:17,400
Well guys, it's here March 2025.
I've been looking at March 2025 

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:25,320
for a really long time and I 
broke down the astrology back in

6
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:31,920
May of 2024 for the 2025 year 
ahead that I gave in June. 

7
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:39,720
Because every single year I give
a year ahead for the next year 

8
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,040
around the solstice, the summer 
solstice, and then I do a follow

9
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:51,160
up in the fall. 
And March is not the most 

10
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:56,720
intense month of 2025, but it'll
sure feel like it as we go 

11
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:02,360
through it. 
There is a breather this year, 

12
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,959
but it's not for a few months 
yet. 

13
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:14,160
So I know it's easy to get lost 
in despair and worry and fear 

14
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:18,600
and doubt. 
And that is human. 

15
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,880
There is no blame to have any 
emotion. 

16
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,560
Make no mistake, when I'm 
telling you to hold on to hope, 

17
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,840
it is never with a judgement 
against worry, fear, doubt, 

18
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,400
insecurity. 
The world is a pretty messy 

19
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,080
place right now and it would be 
regardless. 

20
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,760
You have to remember I was 
looking out at 2025 back in the 

21
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,840
90s, knowing it was going to be 
a poop show. 

22
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,920
And I even just like didn't want
to look at it for a really long 

23
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,800
time. 
So I didn't study it in depth 

24
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,600
until we got closer into it 
because it was very intense and 

25
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,600
very out of context. 
So there were multiple paths 

26
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,800
available. 
None of them were super fun, OK.

27
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,160
And they all had a few things in
common. 

28
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,600
And that is massive systemic 
change, which we've been going 

29
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,120
through. 
We've been going through massive

30
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,400
systemic change for about 30 
years. 

31
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:31,400
It's intensified in the last 17.
OK, so now don't go away because

32
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,240
I'm going to give you some 
solutions. 

33
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:39,760
I did a poll in the Patreon for 
supporting members and I asked 

34
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,960
what they wanted more of and 
whether they were there, and 

35
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:50,160
people overwhelmingly voted with
how to deal with the energy. 

36
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,800
And so that's really what the 
Awake Space Astrology podcast is

37
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,200
all about. 
And of course, I dial in deeper 

38
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,400
in patron only podcasts and in 
the community and through live 

39
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,440
streams. 
But never think you're getting 

40
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,120
shortchanged here and you can 
always think a patron in the 

41
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,760
Spotify comments because without
the patrons, there is no podcast

42
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,880
or anything else. 
A lot of people have been asking

43
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,560
where I've been on TikTok. 
Well, astrologers are not immune

44
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,080
to transits. 
I say that all the time and with

45
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,840
great frequency. 
And I have had my own transits. 

46
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:35,520
So not only was I also walking 
through concrete in February, my

47
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,040
mother's been not feeling well. 
And so we've been trying to get 

48
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,680
to the bottom of that. 
And of course, when it rains, of

49
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,360
course, and there's been other 
family things to deal with. 

50
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,200
And as a Cancerian, I'm always 
going to choose my family. 

51
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,600
So been dealing with those 
things. 

52
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,480
And some days it's been as much 
as I can do to get the podcast 

53
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,960
up and, and to be available to 
patrons. 

54
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,000
So I'll be back on TikTok. 
You're probably going to see a 

55
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,520
lot more clips from the podcast.
I've got some wonderful help 

56
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,240
editing so that I'm not doing 
all it all on my lonesome. 

57
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,200
So that's exciting. 
In this episode, we're going to 

58
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,920
go through the Astrology of 
March. 

59
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,640
I have a very special guest, 
Kimberly Bellew, who has the 

60
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,280
MCE, and you're going to hear 
more about that. 

61
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:29,600
It is a metaphysical collective 
exchange that you can check out.

62
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,600
She has a Patreon and an Etsy 
shop, and she sent me some gifts

63
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,400
and I did an unboxing. 
So you could check the video out

64
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,920
on Spotify if you're listening 
to this on YouTube or anywhere 

65
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,520
else. 
So Patrons, Patrons gets some of

66
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,840
this podcast done in segments so
they'll get like just so they 

67
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:53,760
can refer to the headlines or 
whatever. 

68
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,560
I'm, I'm changing up some stuff 
in the Patreon. 

69
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,320
I put out the weekly schedule. 
Monthly schedules don't work for

70
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,480
me because, well, they just 
don't work for me. 

71
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,480
I have a 9th house sun and a 9th
house Mercury and a Sagittarius 

72
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:18,000
Mars. 
And well, outlines help and 

73
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000
routines to some degree. 
Thank you. 

74
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:26,040
Saturn in my 6th house. 
However, I'm going to do some 

75
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,440
patron only pods at the 
different tiers. 

76
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:35,280
OK, so we've got the patron 
spotlight and wonderful patron. 

77
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:37,400
Rachel is in our spotlight this 
week. 

78
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,960
She is a PhD research chemist, 
really amazing. 

79
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,880
Also a high school chemistry 
teacher. 

80
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,880
And we have a wonderful rousing 
talk. 

81
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,960
And that'll be for all patrons 
this week. 

82
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,200
You can check out Rachel. 
Let me let me grab that 

83
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,160
schedule. 
I can tell you what's going on 

84
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,520
in the Patreon. 
I'm not going to lie, some of 

85
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:05,040
you in the comments made me cry.
So the podcast comes out today, 

86
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,200
March 3rd podcast release and 
we're going to do a member poll 

87
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:16,520
in relationship to the podcast. 
So we'll see who listened The 

88
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,880
4th of March. 
We have a patron only live and 

89
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,600
that is all patrons in the chat,
the paying patrons. 

90
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:31,960
So if I say sorry it's a patron 
only live, all patrons is free 

91
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,160
as well as paid. 
So patron only live and a 

92
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,120
magazine release on the 4th. 
It might be the 5th before I get

93
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,000
the magazine out. 
I had a family emergency tonight

94
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,960
that I had to take care of. 
And so I'm still writing 

95
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,960
articles. 
I'll talk about the magazine a 

96
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,200
little bit later in the podcast.
And then we've got the Patron 

97
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,480
Spotlight coming out on the 5th 
and I might switch those around 

98
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,240
so you're not missing any 
content. 

99
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,440
And then I've got a couple 
different patron only podcasts 

100
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,960
coming out on the 6th, so 
they'll be one for the $15 and 

101
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,280
up tier. 
I'm going to do a very special 

102
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:15,760
one for the mystery school and 
and up as well. 

103
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,080
So those are going to get 
switched UPS. 

104
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,520
I think every every week I'll do
some of the higher tiers 'cause 

105
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,000
I like to give them some love 
and they've been very patient 

106
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,400
with me. 
Game Night Live stream on 

107
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,480
Fridays. 
We we are putting our attention 

108
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:38,040
onto some conscious dissociation
and role-playing and there's 

109
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,040
plenty of astrology talk. 
Super fun. 

110
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,040
And I fixed the Zoom webinar 
chat so that the panelists can 

111
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,920
chat as well. 
So 'cause it's been killing us 

112
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,960
and I finally figured out how to
do that. 

113
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:55,880
It wasn't obvious. 
We got the patron slumber party 

114
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,840
on the 8th and then Sunday Link 
update is in the chat. 

115
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:06,560
So if you're a supporting patron
in the Awake Space lounge, which

116
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,600
is where we try to keep things a
little more lighthearted, a 

117
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,720
little community centered, it's 
where you can just go to 

118
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,320
celebrate. 
We try to keep the venting 

119
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,200
chamber for the primordial 
screens and the in the 

120
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,400
headlines, Laurie predictions. 
You know, that's where under 

121
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,600
specific news articles we can 
have discussion. 

122
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,880
We've got a creativity channel, 
etcetera. 

123
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:34,799
But once a week doing a slumber 
party, That's right, once a week

124
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:39,039
doing a slumber potty. 
And then of course, the podcast 

125
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:43,360
will come out. 
So super fun, super fine. 

126
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,640
I'm not going to lie, I'm 
feeling pretty proud of myself 

127
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,240
for getting all that recording 
done. 

128
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,320
So have your favorite beverage. 
Take a few deep breaths. 

129
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,800
If you didn't get a chance to 
listen to the Pisces New Moon 

130
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,800
meditation, I urge patrons to go
check that out. 

131
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:06,120
That's for $5 and up, and it's a
creative visualization to help 

132
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,800
you connect to your higher 
guidance. 

133
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,200
You can use it even if it's not 
the Pisces New Moon. 

134
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,080
In fact, I'll probably edit it a
little bit to make it just 

135
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:17,640
tuning in with your guidance. 
I really like the editing I did 

136
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,320
on that. 
I did that one myself. 

137
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,120
I didn't ask anybody to help me 
with the editing, and it's 

138
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,160
pretty cool. 
I want to talk to you before I 

139
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,280
come through the shit show 
that's March. 

140
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,960
I want to talk to you more about
how we can actually harness this

141
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,680
energy to our advantage instead 
of getting caught up in the 

142
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:44,600
collective waves of worry, fear,
doubt, insecurity, panic, all 

143
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:50,000
the all the big fields that 
including outrage that deplete 

144
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:56,000
us over time and how we can 
replenish ourselves in this 

145
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,000
energy. 
So there's that. 

146
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,120
So grab your tea, grab your 
coffee, grab your matcha, grab 

147
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,960
your cocoa. 
And whether we're driving to 

148
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:10,240
work or school, or we're 
studying, or we're taking the 

149
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:15,040
kids on a walk, or we're taking 
ourselves on a walk, or we're 

150
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,760
shopping, or we're folding 
laundry and cleaning the 

151
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,080
kitchen, we're doing it 
together. 

152
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:40,360
All right, let's get started. 
There will be talk of rumors of 

153
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:46,880
war, end of time, end of days, 
and the profits on every street 

154
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,960
corner will be hailing the end 
of the world. 

155
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,200
And if I had a dollar for every 
time that happened, I'd be a 

156
00:10:54,200 --> 00:11:01,480
very wealthy woman. 
There will be discordance in 

157
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,840
March in the outer world because
we're dealing with systems 

158
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,360
change. 
We're dealing with power 

159
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,480
dynamics change. 
And I'm going to tell you that 

160
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:15,000
everything and everyone in 
charge right now, with some 

161
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:21,440
exceptions but few, will not be 
here with great longevity, OK? 

162
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,840
They're not going to be here for
two decades, OK? 

163
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,640
They're not going to be here for
a decade. 

164
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:32,360
There's going to be rapid change
in the preceding months and 

165
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:39,960
years because everything on this
planet is changing because we're

166
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:46,840
in another rung on the wheel of 
evolution, and hopefully not 

167
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,480
revolution, because revolution 
just tends to lead us with 

168
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,560
another despot. 
You know, revolution means to 

169
00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:57,680
turn in a single turn on a 
wheel, whereas when we're 

170
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,240
evolving, we're moving up in 
spiral. 

171
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,040
Unless we're devolving, but 
that's a discussion for another 

172
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,520
day. 
I personally don't think 

173
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,400
nihilism is very sexy, nor do I 
think it is realistic. 

174
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:17,200
I think fatalistic nihilism is a
cause of many of our problems 

175
00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:22,840
and this energy. 
In March, we have Venus already 

176
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,880
retrograde. 
Mercury will be retrograde on 

177
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,520
the day of the full moon, which 
is also an eclipse. 

178
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:34,520
And it's easy to look at that 
and go that's a lot, but wait, 

179
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:40,400
there's more. 
We have Neptune entering Aries 

180
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,320
and a solar eclipse. 
All of this I'm covering in the 

181
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:49,720
magazine as well. 
It's volatile. 

182
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:55,160
These are the winds of change 
that are blowing in hot and 

183
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,840
hard. 
And yet it is in this chaotic 

184
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:05,000
space that is almost liminal 
that we can create our own 

185
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,000
magic. 
Now, most people mistake magic 

186
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,640
with getting their own way all 
of the time, and I think there's

187
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,120
many a practitioner who can tell
you for certain that that isn't 

188
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:22,160
how it works. 
That we can create a bubble of 

189
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:30,040
reality around us that is a 
little harder to shatter when we

190
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,200
are able to hold our 
consciousness steady. 

191
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:39,160
Now, I wrote an article for the 
magazine on what it means to 

192
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,960
hold our consciousness, and I 
gave one of my very favorite 

193
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,040
exercises, which is narrating 
your reality. 

194
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:53,320
It's easy to get caught up in 
the social media and the means 

195
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:58,520
and the rallying cries and 
people just begin repeating one 

196
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,200
another. 
And that is a very dangerous 

197
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:07,120
thing. 
Emotions are contagious. 

198
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,880
Thoughts are contagious, but to 
hold your consciousness allows 

199
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,800
you to sway the collective 
consciousness. 

200
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,360
But you can't do it for that 
reason. 

201
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,280
Do you remember Jeannie in 
Aladdin? 

202
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,640
You know, when Robin Williams 
played the Jeannie Cosmic Power 

203
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,000
in any bitty living space? 
We are. 

204
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,320
Jeannie's in a bottle in her own
right. 

205
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,200
And I'm not talking about gin. 
Don't correct me on the 

206
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:37,080
mythology, I'm well aware of it.
We're going with a cartoon, but 

207
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,600
imagine the greater part of you 
is connected to the whole of the

208
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,400
universe, and it's squeezed into
this physical being, which is 

209
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,920
your physical body. 
And we are powerful, and we're 

210
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,240
more powerful when we connect 
collectively. 

211
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,120
And yet the collective is. 
So I'll trained, and I will 

212
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,240
wager that it was done 
purposely, because notice how 

213
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,600
they whip people up into a 
frenzy? 

214
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:09,920
Because the more we are blowing 
our wad of energy impotently by 

215
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,440
screaming into the void, the 
less we are able to join 

216
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:19,400
together in concert, expending 
much less energy and being much 

217
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:25,720
more effective. 
The energy in March is one that 

218
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,480
if you can hold study in your 
faith. 

219
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,920
And I'm not talking militant, 
connecting to your God, your 

220
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,520
goddess, your all that is, your 
higher self, your guides, your 

221
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:43,680
guidance, your ancestors, 
whatever you want to call it, 

222
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:52,240
your source, your universe. 
If you can do that and trust 

223
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:59,160
that you can be like water, as 
Bruce Lee said us to be. 

224
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:04,920
Be like water, my friend, and 
you influence outcomes, and they

225
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,600
don't have to be big influences.
You're not going to get World 

226
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,080
Peace. 
First of all, that's probably 

227
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,160
unattainable at any point in 
time. 

228
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,560
We have never had it. 
There may be things you were 

229
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:22,160
unaware of, and maybe now you're
finding that being aware is not 

230
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,880
always what you thought it would
be. 

231
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,600
But if you can hold your 
consciousness, and I'm not 

232
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:33,880
saying put your head in the sand
like an ostrich, but if you can 

233
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,360
hold your consciousness in the 
face of what is and see it that 

234
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:44,480
it is what it is, and put your 
feet firmly on the ground and be

235
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,760
in the moment and assess the 
reality of your present moment, 

236
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,200
then you can help shift the tide
ever so slightly. 

237
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,080
And it's ever so slightly that 
will make the difference. 

238
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,840
That is power. 
Power is not in the grand 

239
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,000
gestures and the big 
manifestations and the oh look, 

240
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,000
a new car, oh, I won the 
lottery. 

241
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:16,359
Miracles and manifestation are 
when the most unlikely little 

242
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,160
things occur. 
When someone you thought would 

243
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:26,599
never choose a certain direction
for their own benefit suddenly 

244
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:32,200
gives you a call and says, I've 
decided to do this thing that 

245
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,960
will help me. 
Or when you can see through the 

246
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,360
cracks, see the light, even on a
dark and dreary day. 

247
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:50,320
That is the space where magic 
happens and we will need our 

248
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:57,120
imaginative faculties this month
to imagine solutions, not 

249
00:17:57,120 --> 00:17:59,520
problems. 
Anyone can point out a problem. 

250
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,880
Anyone. 
It doesn't take a genius to 

251
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,880
point out a problem. 
That's why all those pseudo 

252
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,600
intellectuals do it. 
Oh, they talk around and round 

253
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,400
about what is wrong with the 
world and blah blah blah. 

254
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,880
It takes a genius to find a 
solution. 

255
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,960
And as Einstein once said, the 
same thinking that creates the 

256
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,880
problem cannot find the 
solution. 

257
00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:29,160
You have to think differently. 
My friends and I know that the 

258
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:34,360
world looks scary to many people
right now, and I know we get 

259
00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:38,720
through it. 
A lot of you want to know when 

260
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,960
it's going to be OK. 
And I always say OK is relative.

261
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,160
And people say when is it going 
to be better. 

262
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,320
And I say when we make it 
better. 

263
00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:54,560
And that too is relative. 
We have to get clear, we have to

264
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:59,160
be concise, and we have to be 
focused. 

265
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:06,480
And you can have ADHD and focus,
you just have to redirect. 

266
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,800
It takes practice. 
Ask me how. 

267
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:18,080
So the most powerful thing you 
can do this month is start each 

268
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:24,000
day intentionally and go to bed 
each night intentionally. 

269
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:33,680
The way I do this is I as I roll
over into my bed, I feel the 

270
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,640
mattress under me and I say, oh 
gosh, I like the way this feels.

271
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,840
I like my sheets. 
I'm middle-aged so I get the 

272
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,440
good ones. 
I like my sheets, Malcolm, my 

273
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,920
dog is usually snuggling right 
up next to me and oh, I love 

274
00:19:52,920 --> 00:20:00,040
Malcolm. 
And I say I'm going to sleep for

275
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:06,000
as long as I need and be as 
rested as I can so that I can 

276
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:11,360
approach my day with the energy 
I need to be of service to 

277
00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:17,040
myself and my community. 
And yes, that includes my 

278
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,920
family. 
I don't see community as 

279
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:26,680
exclusive of family. 
And then when I wake, I tell 

280
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:32,400
myself I'm awake. 
And before I look at my phone 

281
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:40,960
and check the Patreon or read my
emails or check the news, I take

282
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:46,320
care of my physical needs, 
including making my coffee. 

283
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,240
And I go sit outside or on the 
steps if it's inclement. 

284
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,880
And I look at the sky and I say 
what a lovely day. 

285
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:02,920
Today is a lovely day, even if I
don't feel like it's lovely, 

286
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,200
because some days I wake up on 
the wrong side of the bed just 

287
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,760
like anybody else. 
But I do my best to correct my 

288
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:15,320
course and then I remind myself 
of my intentions for the day. 

289
00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:20,800
Not, oh, I intend to do those, 
but my intention is to be of 

290
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,480
service. 
How am I serving today? 

291
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:33,680
What is my agenda? 
When I do that, everything goes 

292
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,920
well. 
It's the days I forget and I 

293
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,000
check the news before I've had 
my coffee that things go South 

294
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,560
pretty rapidly. 
And yet I can catch it by 

295
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,560
noticing and say, oh, I think I 
need to do a reboot. 

296
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,360
And I'll go outside and I'll 
look at the sky. 

297
00:21:54,360 --> 00:21:58,920
I'll say, oh, what a lovely day.
How can I be of service now? 

298
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:03,440
Those are things I've done to 
trigger myself into a state of 

299
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:09,760
consciousness, and that is the 
slipstream of thought that I 

300
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:15,160
choose to be on instead of 
getting swept up in the furor of

301
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:21,360
life. 
I'm giving you this exercise in 

302
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:24,040
preparation for what's coming 
next because I'm going to go 

303
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:30,240
over March's astrology, and in 
the outer world, it is going to 

304
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,760
be very unstable. 
I don't think you need to be an 

305
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,720
astrologer to figure that out. 
It's pretty evident about what's

306
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:47,960
going on right now. 
And yet we have the great 

307
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:58,520
ability, the great ability to 
influence our own daily 

308
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,920
existence even in the midst of 
struggle. 

309
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:11,200
Learning to do that makes all 
the difference in the world and 

310
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,800
it is honestly the basis of true
wealth. 

311
00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:18,680
I think we can see from the 
billionaire's behaviour that 

312
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,720
they honestly have an 
affliction. 

313
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,720
They do not know how to be 
satisfied. 

314
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:37,240
They do not understand the joy 
of service and service isn't 

315
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:42,040
about self denial. 
We can be comfortable and serve,

316
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,440
but if you do not know when you 
are full, when you have had 

317
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:52,640
enough and when you are sated, 
well then nothing is ever 

318
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,680
enough. 
What a sad life that is. 

319
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:07,160
But likewise, self deprecation, 
false humility, pretentious 

320
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:12,280
virtue and performative 
behaviour doesn't get us 

321
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:18,880
anywhere either. 
Learning to find your sweet 

322
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,960
spot. 
Reasonable contentment, 

323
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:28,120
satisfaction in the moment is 
one of the most powerful states 

324
00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:32,880
of consciousness you can't 
possess, and it is not one that 

325
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,240
you will maintain 100% perfect 
ever in your life. 

326
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,960
It is a constant balance, and 
balance isn't a constant thing. 

327
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,320
In order to balance, you have to
notice when you're off balance 

328
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,560
to readjust. 
A ballerina doesn't stay on 

329
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:54,040
their toes by standing still. 
They are consistently 

330
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,080
correcting. 
Even though it may be difficult 

331
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:02,000
to notice with your eyes, they 
are consistently correcting 

332
00:25:02,360 --> 00:25:08,720
their balance. 
Balance requires movement and so

333
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:13,160
we notice when we're slipping if
we're lucky and we course 

334
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,080
correct. 
And by doing that, you are 

335
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,240
difficult to manipulate. 
You are difficult to outrage. 

336
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,440
Doesn't mean you won't be angry,
but there's a big difference to 

337
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:32,400
outrage and anger. 
And for those of you who are 

338
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:40,840
tuning in from the 168 countries
who listen, it kind of impacts 

339
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,200
everybody. 
And do keep those of us in 

340
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:50,760
America in your good thoughts. 
And I think you've realized if 

341
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,800
you're in our community, we're 
not standing by Willy nilly. 

342
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,440
There are many ways to make a 
difference. 

343
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:06,360
Mine is to educate. 
All right, I've postponed it 

344
00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:09,960
long enough. 
Let's take a look at March. 

345
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,800
And by the way, if you are a 
supporting patron at the $5 

346
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:22,720
level and up this Tuesday coming
out is a special code so that 

347
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:27,160
you can stream the 2025 year 
ahead for free. 

348
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:34,880
Because I just, I was going to 
wait till April or May and I, I 

349
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,040
just can't, it's, it's too 
volatile. 

350
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,320
I'm like, no, people need this. 
But if you're a free patron, 

351
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,160
you'll get a very, very special 
discount. 

352
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,560
You'll get it for a very, very 
special price. 

353
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,640
And I think you'll you'll be 
happy with that as well. 

354
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,280
So if you're wanting that, you 
can head over to the link in the

355
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,560
show notes. 
All right, let's talk about 

356
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:16,920
March 2025. 
It's a month Venus is retrograde

357
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,120
in Aries. 
Although I did a segment last 

358
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:20,560
week. 
If you missed it go back and 

359
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,360
listen. 
But Venus in Aries isn't bad. 

360
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,560
Everybody talking about Venus in
Aries is ruining my. 

361
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,200
No, Venus in Aries retrograde is
not bad. 

362
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,880
It's forcing review of what 
matters to you, what are your 

363
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,000
values, what is personal. 
And that may mean there's some 

364
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,000
painful things, but it's to 
review so you can make the 

365
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,600
necessary changes and the 
necessary adjustments so that 

366
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,560
you're more aligned 
authentically with your own 

367
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:50,840
self. 
OK. 

368
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:56,920
And like I said earlier, 
sometimes awareness can be 

369
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:01,040
painful because when we've 
deluded ourselves, when we've 

370
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:06,240
bought into an illusion, when 
we've lived in the Maya of this 

371
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:16,080
world, then we are prey to 
artifice, compromise, masking. 

372
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,440
And when we start peeling back 
the layers and get into the 

373
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,760
nitty gritty, well, it can be a 
lot. 

374
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,320
I'm still avoiding for giving 
you the astrology. 

375
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,480
I hate giving news like this. 
It's a bumpy month. 

376
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,120
OK, Remember when I used to 
always say it's crunchy on the 

377
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:38,320
crunchy meter scale? 
This is at a one to 10. 

378
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:45,000
It's a 12 OK, and it's pivotal 
and leaves us to April and April

379
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:53,000
is end of April is but I'll 
spend this month, which is nice 

380
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,720
and long, getting you ready for 
next. 

381
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:02,160
So God, we got to live one day 
at a time, though people don't 

382
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,920
borrow trouble, don't borrow 
trouble, don't borrow trouble. 

383
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:18,200
All right, let me see where is. 
Let me get and find my projects 

384
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:24,640
there it is 2025 year ahead. 
All righty. 

385
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:33,560
I find what's interesting is I 
wrote this back in May and June 

386
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:40,040
of 2024 and but slide 4 says New
Year's Eve kicks off with a bang

387
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,400
that sets action into motion. 
Old scores are not settled. 

388
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:50,360
And then New Year's Day 2025 in 
action is an action that too has

389
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,680
consequences. 
And that's kind of the theme of 

390
00:29:53,720 --> 00:30:00,680
2025 March. 
I'm just going to read through 

391
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,080
this list very rapidly. 
I'm not. 

392
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,200
And then I'll get into what's 
going to happen. 

393
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,280
We've got Venus retrograde on 
the 1st, the second had Mercury 

394
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,120
conjunct Neptune and the Sun 
squared Jupiter. 

395
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,800
March 3rd Mercury ingresses into
Aries. 

396
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:21,680
So get ready for people to be 
popping up and having lots of 

397
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,080
opinions. 
Be careful, people may take 

398
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,200
things very, very personally 
where it's not intended as well.

399
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,800
March 5th Mercury's is sex style
Pluto. 

400
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,840
We could see some interesting 
air traffic with that. 

401
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,600
We could also see some missiles,
probably not in the United 

402
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,200
States, but rocket launches, 
things like that. 

403
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,600
March 7th, the Sun is trying 
Mars. 

404
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:48,920
That's going to be a little 
spicy. 

405
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,440
March 11th, Mercury is conjunct 
Venus. 

406
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,440
March 12th we have the Sun 
conjunct Saturn, which might be 

407
00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:00,200
a somber day. 
March 14th, the sun is sextile 

408
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,040
Venus. 
We have a full moon and Mercury 

409
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,600
stations retrograde. 
And Oh yeah, if there's an 

410
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:10,840
eclipse, that's a total lunar 
eclipse, and I'll talk about 

411
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:16,480
that next week. 
We've got the Sun ingrass Aries,

412
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,000
which is the equinox on March 
20th. 

413
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,960
March 21st we have Venus sextile
Pluto, which should be kind of 

414
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:28,200
interesting because Venus 
retrograde sextile Pluto will be

415
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:36,480
when Venus is at, you know, 1° 
of, of Aries. 

416
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,560
March 22nd we have the Sun 
conjunct Venus, the Sun in March

417
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,840
23rd the Sun is sextile Pluto, 
and then March 24th the Sun is 

418
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:52,720
conjunct Mercury. 
Let's see, we have March 25th 

419
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,440
Mercury is sextile Pluto again 
because it's retrograde, and 

420
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:01,400
then March 27th Venus ingress 
Pisces and Venus is conjunct 

421
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,600
Neptune. 
That's a very magical day. 

422
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,520
And as we get towards the end of
March, we'll talk about how you 

423
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:13,520
can use that magical energy. 
March 29th, we have Mercury 

424
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:19,760
conjunct Neptune and the new 
Moon, which is a partial solar 

425
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,240
eclipse. 
And again, we'll be talking 

426
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:27,640
about eclipses. 
Oh, next week, just because I 

427
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,160
don't want this episode to be 
like forever and a day long 

428
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:36,680
since I started recording late. 
And then we have a very historic

429
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,960
moment. 
March 30th, Neptune ingresses 

430
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,800
into Aries. 
Oh boy, we haven't seen that 

431
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:51,640
since 1861. 
Does that ring a bell? 

432
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,280
Now? 
History does not often repeat, 

433
00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:00,320
but it does rhyme. 
And if you haven't noticed, the 

434
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,480
United States is somewhat 
divided. 

435
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,920
I I honestly don't think we're 
as divided as they want us to 

436
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,560
feel. 
And I feel certain things are 

437
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,520
starting to unite us a little 
more than divide us. 

438
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:19,760
I know there's diehards out 
there however been reading the 

439
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:25,880
pulse online especially and not 
living in a vacuum so. 

440
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,880
But I think we can expect some 
historic events. 

441
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,480
This is what I had to say about 
March. close saves and close 

442
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,800
shaves. 
A lot of could have been worse 

443
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,360
energy. 
And that's the attitude I want 

444
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,800
you to hold. 
If somebody said, oh, my God, I 

445
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:48,040
could have had an accident, but 
you didn't, OK, Oh, my gosh, 

446
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,600
that plane could have hit the 
other plane, but it didn't. 

447
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,920
OK, Oh my gosh, this. 
This could have been a war, but 

448
00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:00,800
it wasn't. 
We can recognize what could have

449
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,000
been, but we must recognize what
is OK. 

450
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,840
So close shaves and close 
shaves. 

451
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,280
A lot of could have been worse 
energy, still a lot of water. 

452
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,000
Big monsoon rains globally and 
that includes cyclones, 

453
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,560
hurricane like winds, typhoons, 
atmospheric rivers, etcetera, 

454
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,880
causing landslide, mud slides, 
erosion events, sinkholes, 

455
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:25,080
strange tides, floods, etcetera.
And that's going to be 

456
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,560
throughout March. 
And in fact, we're going to 

457
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,040
start kind of March off with 
some crunchy weather and then at

458
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,080
the end of the month, we're 
going to see it again. 

459
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,639
We could see issues with 
chemicals, radiation, solar and 

460
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:39,840
otherwise toxic waste plastics 
and issues to do with water 

461
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,880
quality, bad virus and flu 
season continues. 

462
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,960
Lots of school closures and 
hospitals worldwide 

463
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,239
unrestrained. 
Unlikely to see any kind of 

464
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,199
lockdown now. 
I was have been saying for 

465
00:34:52,199 --> 00:34:55,840
multiple years that a COVID 
isn't over. 

466
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,960
Obviously we know that, but 
we're going to see multiple 

467
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:01,680
viruses. 
And I know a lot of people are 

468
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,800
focusing on the bird flu. 
It is a concern. 

469
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,080
But you can see there's no 
measles. 

470
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:10,040
And then there has been a case 
of rubella also reported, which 

471
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,440
is German measles, which is very
serious. 

472
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,240
And of course we've heard about 
mumps and, and what have you. 

473
00:35:16,240 --> 00:35:18,000
I think we're going to hear 
about more. 

474
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:25,640
And so hygiene, wash your hands,
wash your stuff, and wash with 

475
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,840
soap and water when you can. 
Hand sanitizer is an emergency. 

476
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:34,040
Major and Rachel and I actually 
talk about that on the Patron 

477
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:38,040
Spotlight. 
World leaders continue to flex. 

478
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,240
We could see missiles, drones, 
and conventional weapons used, 

479
00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:45,280
especially submarines, Sonic 
weapons, espionage, NATO 

480
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:49,400
involved in a conflict around 
March 13th and 14th. 

481
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:56,920
Again, I wrote these predictions
back in May and June of 2024. 

482
00:35:57,720 --> 00:36:02,360
When days see within days of the
full moon, which is on the 14th,

483
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:07,120
we look like we're on the brink 
of war, but things stall out. 

484
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:12,080
Could be last minute diplomacy, 
a national tragedy or emergency 

485
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,800
that stalls the leader or 
preempts an attack. 

486
00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:19,400
Could also see things just not 
work as Mercury stations 

487
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,000
retrograde. 
Collective sigh of relief. 

488
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,880
However, it could also be an 
accidental breach of boundaries 

489
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,200
or borders that causes tensions 
to spill over. 

490
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,640
Extremely intense weather and of
March. 

491
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,760
Very wet, lots of flooding. 
Dam integrity is weak globally. 

492
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:45,440
Storm surges are massive. 
Now there's another whole page 

493
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:54,280
OK of of information and but I 
don't want to freak everybody 

494
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,080
out. 
So it it's there's a lot going 

495
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:58,800
on in the world. 
We're going to, we're going to 

496
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,960
see some power outages. 
And when we talk about the grid 

497
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:09,080
in America, people are talking 
about it in correctly, OK, 

498
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,720
incorrectly. 
People act like we have one big 

499
00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:17,120
National Grid and we do not. 
We have hundreds of grids in 

500
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:21,320
this country, if not thousands 
that are interconnected. 

501
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:26,640
Texas is its own deal and they 
they need to work on that shit. 

502
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,840
But we don't just have one 
singular power grid. 

503
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:37,680
OK, First of all, that would be 
dumb to do Texas and I don't 

504
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,200
even think all of Texas's is on 
when I think they have like 2 

505
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:45,200
but it's it's kind of dumb. 
But having different relays with

506
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,200
is smart because if one goes 
down you can feed into another. 

507
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,600
Now these could be three issues 
with Transformers. 

508
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,840
This could be power outages due 
to weather. 

509
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,640
This could be any manner of 
things. 

510
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:03,880
There is potential for conflict 
in the United States, OK, it is 

511
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,160
obvious there. 
There are wrecking balls 

512
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,880
happening to the system, which 
did need restructuring, but it 

513
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,640
didn't need to be so damn messy 
and and playing whack a mole 

514
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:19,080
with with agencies and policy 
and ignoring our Constitution is

515
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,760
usually not a favorable thing to
do. 

516
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:27,840
So there could be some 
interesting policy decisions 

517
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,800
that come out of the 
administration that 'cause 

518
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:37,880
people to protest and protest. 
Lovely. 

519
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,720
And I do know we have veterans 
protest on the 14th in 

520
00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:43,520
Washington, DC. 
And I was like, oh, wow, that's 

521
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,360
interesting. 
We'll see how that goes. 

522
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,120
It is. 
If you live in the Washington, 

523
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:57,120
DC area, especially those of you
who've had readings with me in 

524
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:01,280
the last six months, especially 
actually the last year and a 

525
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,320
half when we've looked at March 
and April, I have been 

526
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:09,320
concerned, especially into the 
end of April, I've been very 

527
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:14,080
concerned about the DC area. 
Do be cautious and I would say 

528
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:19,400
anywhere within an hour of 
Washington, DC especially, there

529
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,120
could be some interesting 
happenings and that could be 

530
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:30,520
police action. 
That could be quasi, you know, 

531
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:35,600
security rules like checkpoints 
and things like that. 

532
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,560
I've been asked, do I think 
there's going to be martial law?

533
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:46,760
And I talked about that in the 
Martyrs Direct live stream that 

534
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,680
I did for patrons for free and 
paid, and it is in my Patreon 

535
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,960
and it is something you just 
have to sign up and you can go 

536
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,440
watch. 
And I did talk about the 

537
00:39:55,440 --> 00:40:03,880
potential for martial law. 
I don't give it an 80% chance. 

538
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:08,120
OK, so that means I am 
uncertain. 

539
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:14,040
It is not out of the realm of 
possibility and it is also not 

540
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,840
something I'm going to say you 
need to overly worry about. 

541
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:23,840
But I would say be more than 
ready for that potential between

542
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:30,600
mid March and early May because 
things are very, very volatile. 

543
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:36,040
And I think we'll know more as 
we get past that eclipse because

544
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:43,160
that eclipse is a bit gnarly. 
It's it's a bit interesting, 

545
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:48,520
darlings. 
So March is spicy. 

546
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,680
It's not all that favorable for 
a couple of people in the 

547
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:58,440
administration. 
There's a lot of physical 

548
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:02,280
pressure there. 
And so we could see illnesses 

549
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:08,600
with leaders, etcetera. 
My predictions are already out. 

550
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:14,480
So the predictions that are in 
the magazine are already out in 

551
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,040
the Patreon because if you are a
magazine subscriber and that's 

552
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:22,360
at the $15 level and up of the 
Patreon, I always give you the 

553
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:27,320
sneak peek of what's in the 
headlines and your horoscopes. 

554
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,480
So those are up. 
This week is a week. 

555
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:35,160
Every week is a week this month.
So now these are the things I 

556
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,720
think are most likely to be up 
in the headlines. 

557
00:41:38,720 --> 00:41:41,520
And don't get mad at me that 
it's not good news because 

558
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,600
honestly 90% of what's in the 
headline isn't good news. 

559
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:49,560
It's not my fault. 
So March 1st through the 3rd, 

560
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,720
the moon in Aries is demanding 
and fiery. 

561
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:57,160
And since this is coming out on 
the third, you'll probably 

562
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,000
recognize some of these things 
that were in the headlines. 

563
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,320
Financial news, corrections and 
markets, issues with banking or 

564
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,560
payment gateways, and that's all
currencies as well. 

565
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,520
Discovery of arsonists or 
terrorist, issues with 

566
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,960
explosives. 
Weather patterns change, storm 

567
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,960
systems stall cycling weather, 
which we're seeing believe the 

568
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,800
Indian Ocean. 
Peace agreements fall, fail in 

569
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,720
all regions. 
Peace agreements fail in all 

570
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:28,560
regions. 
Oh, I wrote Peach. 

571
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:30,880
My editor's gonna have fun with 
that. 

572
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,240
Iranian leadership under 
pressure. 

573
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:38,080
Issues with King of Jordan, 
Chemical spills, oil leaks, or 

574
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,720
issues with corrosive materials.
Let's see. 

575
00:42:41,720 --> 00:42:45,840
Volcanic eruption or firestorm 
or issue with lava flows and 

576
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,080
lahars. 
Issues with military's rogue 

577
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,720
units or mercenaries. 
Increase in geothermal 

578
00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:53,760
activities. 
Military contractor under 

579
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,800
investigation or speaks out 
against current policies. 

580
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:03,440
Retailer of note may face 
bankruptcy or close locations. 

581
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:08,320
Not Joann's because they had 
already done so. 

582
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,200
Authoritarians on shaky ground 
in Eastern Europe, Western 

583
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,200
Europe, Levant, North and South 
America. 

584
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,560
Attempted coups, insurrections 
and political violence. 

585
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:23,280
Political violence in city 
center, mall or other public 

586
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,520
venue. 
Could see a shooting or stabbing

587
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,440
Poland, dealing with border 
security and potential sabotage 

588
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,320
or terrorist attacks. 
Issues with military. 

589
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,560
Oh I broke that twice. 
International organizations 

590
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:39,560
under strain or face crisis, UN,
NATO, etcetera. 

591
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,360
Leaders of all forms face 
opposition. 

592
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,000
Potential assassinations or 
deposing of leaders. 

593
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,440
Political dissidents and 
political protests on mass. 

594
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,440
And we saw that a little bit in 
Europe. 

595
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,400
Leaders in business, politics 
and entertainment face backlash 

596
00:43:54,400 --> 00:44:00,600
by lawsuits and legal means. 
And we saw some of that March 

597
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,200
3rd through the 5th with the 
Moon in Taurus. 

598
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,240
The moon in Taurus is excited 
with the shake UPS. 

599
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:10,880
Things could get heated. 
We could see earthquakes above 6

600
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:15,400
point O, possible increased 
potential of seismic activity, 

601
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:19,320
any active seismic zone. 
I'm, I'm not picking directions 

602
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,800
right now 'cause just 
everything's a little more 

603
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,920
volatile. 
But the activity above a six 

604
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:30,920
point O would be in the more 
active fault lines, probably 

605
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,440
offshore. 
OK, as Neptune is in the later 

606
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,920
degrees. 
Neptune does play a role since 

607
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:41,080
it's in a sextile with Uranus 
right now. 

608
00:44:42,720 --> 00:44:45,640
Explosions both accidental and 
man made. 

609
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:50,560
Arsons of government buildings 
and or manufacturing plants that

610
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:54,240
could also be attempted. 
Global financial crisis 

611
00:44:54,240 --> 00:44:57,960
announced or stock markets fall.
Crypto markets volatile. 

612
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,760
They could tank. 
I wrote that before it started 

613
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,120
tanking. 
Food poisoning or disease caused

614
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,400
by food. 
Issues with cattle herds, 

615
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:12,280
disease or pests. 
Explosions at manufacturing or 

616
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:16,920
food processing plants. 
Issues with munitions, depots, 

617
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,360
plants or stolen weapons and 
equipment. 

618
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,960
Massive accident involving semi 
trucks and or rail. 

619
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,840
Talk of sanctions against major 
world powers. 

620
00:45:27,240 --> 00:45:30,000
Can also be boycotting or buy 
insurance too. 

621
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,000
Tech sector challenged union 
activity. 

622
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,800
Calls for strikes, contract 
disputes and layoffs. 

623
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,520
Trump's health in question or go
or he goes off the rails in some

624
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:44,040
way. 
Cybersecurity breaches, data 

625
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:48,600
breaches, DNS server attacks, 
malware and ransomware, issues 

626
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,480
with livestock, food production,
processing and farms and 

627
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,000
ranches. 
We could see a big accident or 

628
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:58,320
explosion or fire, could involve
some kind of radiation or gas 

629
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,920
leak, could be more than one 
kind of event globally. 

630
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:09,760
And and it it could just be, you
know, just a regular accident. 

631
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:14,640
Could see outburst by people of 
note, temper tantrums, outrage 

632
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,760
and ranting. 
Big erosion events, landslides, 

633
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:21,120
mudsides, sinkholes, levy 
breaches, dike failures and dam

00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:22,240
breachers. 
Global. 

635
00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:25,480
All of my predictions are global
unless I'm mentioning in AUS 

636
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,200
event. 
Huge weather issues, lightning, 

637

639
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:38,960

00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:57,000
March 5th through the 9th. 
The moon is in Gemini isn't able

645
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,840
to go forward fast and things 
are bumpy because you know, 

646
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:04,200
Mercury's pre retrograde so it's
starting to things will feel a 

647
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:07,600
little wibbly wobbly. 
We could see big wind, 

648
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,880

temperatures swinging wildly. 

649
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,160
Could be hurricanes, 
microbursts, tornadoes, 

650
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,760
sandstorms, unseasonable wind. 
And it isn't necessarily when I 

651
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,480
say hurricane, it's like 
hurricane level wind, multiple 

652
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:25,680
storms active in one region. 
This is global issues with air 

653
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:30,200
travel, delays, air travel, air 
traffic control and accidents of

654
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:34,680

Violence towards journalists or 
it could be being locked out of 

672
00:48:30,720 --> 00:48:33,840
the press corps. 
Secrets leaked or revealed from 

673
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:35,880

00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:00,600
could include space station 
astronauts having issues. 

680
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,040
And then we wind up the week, 
March 7th through the 9th. 

681
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,480
The moon in Cancer brings it all
up. 

682
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,520
Every last thing that happened 
in the past is up on deck and 

683
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:14,120
people are grabbing torches. 
March 7th could see an 

684
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:18,480

00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,240
rivers, arsons and fires and 
domestic dwellings. 

689
00:49:31,240 --> 00:49:33,520
UK government may be under 
strain. 

690
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,400
Public uprisings, global 
accident on major roads, 

691
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,720

00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:03,560

hail, big tides. 

699
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:12,040

values, influx, inflation, trade

700
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,120

706
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,760
Hopefully that one is wrong. 
Banking and currencies under 

707
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:36,120
strain, erosion causing storms, 
hurricane waterspouts, big 

708
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:37,760
waves. 
OK, so we're going to see some 

709
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,280
big weather because I wrote like
three things about it. 

710
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:46,200
Restaurants close, issues with 
food supply and or drop my 

711
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,640
mouse. 
I don't want to edit a whole lot

712
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,040
of this episode because I'm so 
tired. 

713
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,800
You know what Monday is besides 
podcast day? 

714
00:50:55,960 --> 00:51:00,320
It's mom and daughter day. 
That means I'm not going to get 

715
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:04,600
any sleep. 
Oh, where did that go before I 

716
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,000
dropped it? 
Oh, that's right, secrets leaked

717
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,360
or revealed from corporations or
government. 

718
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:12,880
It rolled all the way up to the 
last page. 

719
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,000
Here we go. 
Major infrastructure destroyed 

720
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:20,200
or big failure of dam bridges or
shopping center potential 

721
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:25,360
seismic activity mostly offshore
but ranging from a 5.8 to 7 

722
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,800
point O potential tsunami. 
I'm thinking that would be more 

723
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:34,000
like in the Indonesia, 
Philippines, the Asia Pacific 

724
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:39,880
region, maybe as far north as 
Japan, but it could be in any 

725
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,200
active region in the Ring of 
Fire. 

726
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:48,480
OK, water quality issues, 
environmental issues and climate

727
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:52,200
change, water wars begin and 
that's arguing over who has the 

728
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:57,120
rights. 
Let's see, there we go. 

729
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:05,320
So that's what we've got until 
the Moon moves into Leo and that

730
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:09,760
is going to be some big energy 
as well, especially on the 9th 

731
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:13,600
when the Moon moves into Leo and
it imposes Pluto and we can 

732
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,440
expect a big butter booms with 
that as well. 

733
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,360
Global. 
Does that mean it's happening to

734
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,240
you directly? 
No, no it doesn't. 

735
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,280
But do you want to be apprised 
of what's going on? 

736
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:29,680
Clyde, I told you that 2025 
would be the year that that no 

737
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:34,480
one, well unless they're very 
narrow lensed, could say climate

738
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,400
change does not exist because it
sure as hell does. 

739
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:41,480
So we're all being impacted by 
it globally. 

740
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,920
Yeah, we're going to see the 
impacts with weather, climate 

741
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:46,920
conditions. 
I mean, North Carolina's got 

742
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,080
fires going on. 
It's freaking March. 

743
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,040
You know, that's unheard of in 
March. 

744
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:56,920
So, you know, there's there's 
all manner of things going on. 

745
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:01,880
So again, go back and listen to 
the segment before this and 

746
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:04,800
remember, we can hold our 
consciousness because we have to

747
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:08,600
look at what's happening right 
to us, right in front of us, OK?

748
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,360
The time to panic is when it is 
time to panic, all right. 

749
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,760
The time to get ready to run is 
when it's the time to run. 

750
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:24,640
But letting our cortisol spike 
and our adrenaline rush when it 

751
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:28,600
is a perceived threat that is 
not directly in front of us and 

752
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:32,920
not directly happening in the 
moment actually harms us and 

753
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:37,600
does the perceived enemy no harm
at all. 

754
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:43,800
So keep your hands busy. 
That's what my great grandma 

755
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,360
always used to say, keep your 
hands busy. 

756
00:53:46,720 --> 00:53:51,080
And that's why she taught me to 
do embroidery and crochet when I

757
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:54,200
was a little girl. 
And they have gotten me through 

758
00:53:54,200 --> 00:54:00,320
many a crisis in life because 
you have to focus on those 

759
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,400
things. 
So get crafty, get creative. 

760
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:07,800
It's time to start our starts or
look at starting our gardens. 

761
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,440
We had a wonderful patron 
spotlight last week. 

762
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:12,800
You can check that out in the 
Patreon, regardless of 

763
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:17,280
membership level with a 
wonderful patron Sam, where we 

764
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,200
talked about small space 
gardening. 

765
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:26,400
And so there are things we can 
control, and that's what we want

766
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:29,160
to put our focus on because 
everything outside of our 

767
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:33,000
control is outside of our 
control, OK? 

768
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:37,760
And we can gather together 
intentionally. 

769
00:54:38,720 --> 00:54:42,320
We can put our focus on the 
outcomes we'd like to see. 

770
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:48,480
And it's honestly never as 
strong a magic when we try to 

771
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:56,080
get rid of a problem versus 
empower a solution, OK, there's 

772
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,600
a big difference. 
I don't like that thing. 

773
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,400
I want it gone. 
Makes it very difficult to 

774
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:05,360
remove. 
Whereas I want to see more of 

775
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:10,440
this when we work with the 
energy, with the grain versus 

776
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:14,560
against it, things are 10 times 
more powerful. 

777
00:55:15,240 --> 00:55:17,960
So I ask you, what are your 
solutions? 

778
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:22,360
I'll put a pull up. 
You let me know what kind of 

779
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:27,720
solutions do you want to see? 
Do you want to feel more at 

780
00:55:27,720 --> 00:55:30,400
ease? 
Do you want to have your food 

781
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,360
planned out? 
Are you looking at a different 

782
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:36,360
kind of economic plan and how 
you spend your money? 

783
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:45,560
We all have the power to do 
something, no matter how small. 

784
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,560
All right, And next week in my 
patron spotlight, the wonderful 

785
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:56,600
Leslie Poston of Cyberspace 
Podcast joins me and we talk 

786
00:55:56,600 --> 00:56:04,200
about the importance of hope to 
your brain chemistry. 

787
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,360

that next week.

We'll give you a shout out. 
All right, let's talk to Kim. 

819
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:00,920
All right, this interview is 
near and dear to my heart. 

820
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:06,120
I have Kimberly Bellew with me 
and she is one of my original 

821
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:10,720
supporters back in 2020 on 
Tiktok when I had like 5 people 

822
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:14,360
and one of my very first 
patrons. 

823
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:22,040
It's been a ride, and she is the
founder of the MCE, and I'm 

824
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:23,400
going to let you talk about 
that. 

825
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:27,280
She's also a maker of magical 
goodies, and I have some to show

826
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:28,800
off because she sent me some. 
Yeah. 

827
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:31,760
And I haven't looked at them 
yet. 

828
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:32,920
I've been a good girl. 
Oh, you've. 

829
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:39,520
Been very good. 
Thank you for this opportunity 

830
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:46,520
to be on the podcast. 
The MCE is the Metaphysical 

831
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:54,920
Community Exchange, and it's a 
Patreon I wanted to create to 

832
00:59:54,920 --> 01:00:02,680
create a community. 
Right now it's just rough out 

833
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:05,280
there. 
I know you've talked about it. 

834
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:12,200
I just want to have a safe space
in a place where people can feel

835
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:18,640
comfortable, have conversation, 
learn, and. 

836
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:25,600
Just create that village. 
Everybody needs a village. 

837
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:28,520
Right. 
And in the village you're you're

838
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:32,520
envisioning are people who are 
practitioners of a variety of 

839
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,120
beneficial, you know, whether 
it's tarot readers, people who 

840
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:40,160
do crystals, people who do 
astrology, psychic is whatever 

841
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:43,080
it is a place to grow, talk 
shop, etcetera. 

842
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:50,600
Yeah, so I separated out the 
communities based on kind of 

843
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:54,760
like of a high level 
metaphysical area. 

844
01:00:55,480 --> 01:01:03,880
We have tarot, mediumship, 
psychic abilities, witchcraft 

845
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:11,960
and just plain old spirituality.
And it's, it's a place to talk 

846
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:16,160
shop, but also promote small 
businesses. 

847
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:21,880
I kind of want to make a 
directory that everybody can 

848
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:28,440
link up that small business and 
anybody who's in the Patreon 

849
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:32,800
could just look for service. 
And I want to be able to 

850
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:41,480
interview people, you know, 
raise voices and just have that 

851
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:48,440
community vibe. 
Also exchange items, kind of 

852
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:53,560
like a metaphysical yard sale or
trade. 

853
01:01:55,160 --> 01:02:01,560
And I think that's important. 
It's something that I know is 

854
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:08,000
going to be needed online. 
Just the way things are going 

855
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:15,240
financially around the globe. 
We're going to need that ability

856
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:23,280
to exchange here is 3 crystals 
for a deck of tarot cards, 

857
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:27,880
things of that nature. 
So that's kind of, that's kind 

858
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:33,960
of the direction I'm going in. 
And I wanted it, you know, it's 

859
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:37,760
behind on the paywall, put it 
behind on a small paywall. 

860
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:43,160
I have just like community 
member level and that's about 5 

861
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:49,800
diodes amounts and then 
menopositions, menopositions 

862
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:57,800
level and that's $10 a month. 
So I do that just to protect the

863
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:03,680
community. 
I don't want, yeah, I don't want

864
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:08,080
people to go in there with bad 
intentions. 

865
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:15,760
I want to have a judgment free 
zone, and that's the biggest 

866
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:19,120
thing. 
I know things are going to get 

867
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:24,200
rough for everybody, but 
especially those in the 

868
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:29,280
metaphysical community. 
So I just want to have that. 

869
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:33,480
Yeah. 
I just want to have that safe 

870
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:39,640
corner of the world for them and
that was my inspiration to kind 

871
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:43,600
of put things together. 
I love that. 

872
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:46,520
That's a great idea. 
And I like the idea of an 

873
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:53,320
exchange, especially when you're
just getting started out, too. 

874
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:55,360
It's a way to build confidence. 
I did that plenty. 

875
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:59,960
I traded actually astrology for 
therapy back in 1999. 

876
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:03,520
That gave me a lot of 
confidence, even though I was 

877
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:07,560
already charging for readings. 
But my therapist was like, I was

878
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:12,520
like, I want to pay you. 
And he was like, I'd actually 

879
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:16,840
rather you do astrology for me. 
I was like, oh, really? 

880
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:22,240
OK, you know, he was very cool 
and very rare and special person

881
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:28,760
helping that Mama out. 
But and then other times when I 

882
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:33,040
didn't have a lot of money, I 
would trade for a massage, you 

883
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:38,200
know, making sure it's equal or 
with a medium or a tarot reader 

884
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:40,880
or somebody who did something a 
little differently than me as 

885
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:46,600
we've moved along. 
It's a great way to start when 

886
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,880
you talk about a Safeway to have
a conversation for you. 

887
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:52,800
What are the elements of safety 
that that you're bringing for 

888
01:04:52,800 --> 01:05:00,160
people? 
It's coming down to feeling 

889
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:09,400
comfortable being authentic, not
being judged, being able to have

890
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:17,640
an open but respectful 
conversation, and just not 

891
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:22,800
having drama. 
I've seen you laugh. 

892
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:32,520
I've seen so many platforms that
have drama and people feed into 

893
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:36,400
that. 
I don't want that in my Patreon.

894
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:40,040
I would hope that would not have
happened. 

895
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:47,960
I just want people to feel like 
they can communicate, they can 

896
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:58,680
talk about what they think, what
they feel, and not have to 

897
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:05,880
worry, not looking. 
For fight, you do see that 

898
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:09,840
extended in some spaces, 
metaphysical spaces, I think a 

899
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:15,360
lot of times because there's 
elements that are looking when 

900
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:17,920
they feel, when people feel 
powerless, they're looking, 

901
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:19,680
they're looking for that. 
They think they're finding 

902
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:22,920
answers. 
And then you get, you know, 

903
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:27,080
dogmatic fights and there's room
kind of for everything. 

904
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:30,040
Yeah. 
So I love that you're you're 

905
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:32,960
doing that so. 
Yeah. 

906
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:38,520
Go ahead. 
I think it hurts our our 

907
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:41,920
community globally when we 
attack each other. 

908
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:48,000
I kind of look at the witch wars
on TikTok. 

909
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:53,320
TikTok. 
I'm like, those were a really 

910
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:55,240
good example of what I was 
talking about. 

911
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:58,760
They both had a little bit of 
power and they don't realize 

912
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:02,760
it's patriarchy adjacent and by 
dividing ourselves, you know, 

913
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:05,080
right. 
And yeah, it's. 

914
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:11,360
They're like popularity 
contests, like back in high 

915
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:13,560
school. 
Inch. 

916
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:17,960
Yeah. 
You know, communication, ideas, 

917
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:22,680
knowledge. 
We don't have to one up each 

918
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:28,160
other. 
We need to come together 

919
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:34,720
globally because dividing us 
takes away our power. 

920
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:38,720
Yeah, absolutely it does. 
It does. 

921
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:45,080
So you, you are a polymath. 
OK, So I happen to know Kim very

922
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:49,560
well 'cause she's been, she's 
one of my, my real ones who's 

923
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:52,960
been through the whole, the 
whole right. 

924
01:07:55,520 --> 01:08:00,640
It's been a journey, but I 
happen to know you do a lot of 

925
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:02,600
things. 
You're very handy. 

926
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:07,280
You do your own, you do a lot of
DIY stuff. 

927
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:11,320
You have an Etsy shop as well. 
We're going to do a little 

928
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:18,120
unboxing of things today. 
But for you, you tend to work a 

929
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:21,319
lot with nature and natural 
elements. 

930
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:26,120
Let's talk. 
About that, so kind of speaking 

931
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:32,240
on a DIY, I'm really taking 
things back to when our 

932
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:40,760
grandparents were around. 
It's more than just the anti 

933
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:44,319
processed foods, chemical 
movement. 

934
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:47,720
It's stuff we can find in 
nature. 

935
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:58,720
I practice witchcraft by by you 
know myself and foraging and. 

936
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:02,120
And you you lean into the Celtic
tradition, correct? 

937
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:06,279
Yes, I learn more into, you 
know, the Irish path. 

938
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:13,960
I'm not, you know, obviously 
living in Ireland, so I'm not 

939
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:20,120
considered an Irish witch, but 
that's the path I kind of go 

940
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:22,640
along. 
That's your ancestry. 

941
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:29,240
Yeah, I'm only second 
generation, so, you know, my 

942
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:34,840
grandfather was, you know, 
immigrated here when he was 17, 

943
01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:39,120
and we've been in the Boston 
area. 

944
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:44,319
Couldn't tell. 
To generate yes the accent. 

945
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:47,080
Now I'm trying to patrol it 
right now. 

946
01:09:47,399 --> 01:09:49,479
No, I love it. 
I love it when you say my car. 

947
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:55,560
My car I'm trying to speak so 
slow. 

948
01:09:56,360 --> 01:10:01,560
You said be inauthentic. 
Yes I love all of you. 

949
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:07,480
Get the letter ripped. 
Pack the car the have a yard. 

950
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:15,160
Exactly. 
But but with that said, I I do 

951
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:19,440
things like make my home 
cleaning products, you know, my 

952
01:10:19,440 --> 01:10:25,720
own large detergent, pine saw. 
People don't realize pine saw 

953
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:30,800
was literally made from pine 
needles and vinegar. 

954
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:36,560
That's all. 
And it's absolutely kind of 

955
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:40,080
ridiculous to buy that at the 
store. 

956
01:10:40,440 --> 01:10:49,920
Nature supplies, you know, and I
make things at home, cut costs. 

957
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:56,240
It allows me to put my little 
witchy spin on protections and 

958
01:10:56,240 --> 01:11:03,320
cleanses. 
And it just, it just feels 

959
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:07,760
better. 
It's a it's, it's all areas. 

960
01:11:08,480 --> 01:11:14,120
It saves me money. 
It's natural. 

961
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:17,920
I know I'm not, you know, 
poisoning my family. 

962
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:23,480
And it's easy. 
It's so easy. 

963
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,800
And that's some of the things 
I'm bringing to the community as

964
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:35,880
well, not just all traditional 
thoughts of metaphysics, you 

965
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:43,160
know, working this in day-to-day
and what you could do. 

966
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:49,720
You know, I put up a little 
pictures all the time in Patreon

967
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:54,160
of saying, hey, you're making a 
cup of tea, stir your 

968
01:11:54,160 --> 01:12:00,440
intentions, use certain herbs 
and your tea, things of that 

969
01:12:00,440 --> 01:12:04,360
nature. 
And that's also something I'm 

970
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:09,720
bringing to the community. 
I build things. 

971
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:17,120
I become my own home handyman. 
I've always had a knack. 

972
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:23,840
I like to take things apart, 
investigate and put it back 

973
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:32,000
together or make it better. 
If I see something on the TV, I 

974
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,480
can build it. 
Yeah, I. 

975
01:12:34,480 --> 01:12:38,080
Love that. 
That's just my personality. 

976
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:41,880
Mm Hmm. 
Well, and just for your 

977
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:46,880
listeners to know, you know, you
are the head of your household, 

978
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:51,000
you know, you are the 
breadwinner for your family and 

979
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:54,560
it is, you know, on you to make 
sure things are happening. 

980
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:59,240
And I think there's a lot of 
people who will think they need 

981
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:01,640
somebody else. 
Now, granted you do hire 

982
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:05,360
contractors for like important 
stuff like electrical and roofs 

983
01:13:05,440 --> 01:13:09,680
and things like that, but you 
make your own honeydew and 

984
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:14,280
you're the honey who do's. 
I know there's a lot of people 

985
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:17,400
who think, oh, I can't do that 
because I didn't learn how to 

986
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:19,960
use power tools as a kid. 
What do you say to that? 

987
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:26,480
You too is your friend. 
Honestly, YouTube's your friend.

988
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:33,320
I used to think the same thing. 
Is that patriarchal mindset. 

989
01:13:33,480 --> 01:13:38,640
I can do it, a power tools, a 
man's thing. 

990
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:47,400
No, it's not it's easy. 
Just look it up, see a couple of

991
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:52,720
videos, follow along, and 
eventually you'll be putting up 

992
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:58,040
walls, building your own 
furniture, fixing anything that 

993
01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:02,280
broke in your house. 
It's easy stuff. 

994
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:07,360
And that's kind of some of the 
things as well. 

995
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:13,120
I'm bringing to the Patreon that
attitude of you can do it. 

996
01:14:13,440 --> 01:14:17,120
You don't need anybody's help 
unless you want it. 

997
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:22,640
Right, and you know, if it's if 
it's two person job, obviously, 

998
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:27,400
you know, you know, but there 
are many things that we can do 

999
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:31,680
and be self-sufficient in. 
And I think when I see the term 

1000
01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:36,520
witch, knowing that it was 
always a derogatory term, you 

1001
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:39,280
know, people didn't they thought
they were wise people. 

1002
01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:41,720
They were people who were good 
at nature crafting. 

1003
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:48,680
They were people who were makers
and and connected to nature and 

1004
01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:51,360
they might have had traditional 
beliefs that went way back. 

1005
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:54,560
Maybe they forgot about it like 
from the time of the Druids or a

1006
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:59,440
more indigenous lifestyle, 
because Europe had indigeneity 

1007
01:14:59,440 --> 01:15:06,920
as well, right? 
But and so got got knocked out 

1008
01:15:06,920 --> 01:15:11,880
by the Romans in general, but it
was there and it's been carried 

1009
01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:16,120
forth. 
Like my great grandma did a lot 

1010
01:15:16,120 --> 01:15:20,200
of witchy stuff. 
She wouldn't ever classify it 

1011
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:22,560
herself. 
So sad because she was very much

1012
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:27,760
a churchgoer. 
And one of the things people had

1013
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:30,040
a problem with women was their 
independence. 

1014
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:32,200
And that's why so many got 
accused of witchcraft. 

1015
01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:36,080
Whether they were not was their 
independence. 

1016
01:15:36,440 --> 01:15:40,680
And women today need that 
empowerment. 

1017
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:44,360
So I love what you're doing. 
What do you say to this when 

1018
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:47,000
people are like, oh, I don't 
want to call myself this or. 

1019
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:51,800
Be yourself. 
Knowledge is as power. 

1020
01:15:52,760 --> 01:16:01,320
Not having to rely on somebody 
else is the most empowering 

1021
01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:05,920
thing. 
And if you need to, that's OK. 

1022
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:11,400
Asking for help, OK, but you can
do it. 

1023
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:15,440
You don't need to fall behind 
somebody else. 

1024
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:20,600
Independence. 
It's not a bad word, no matter 

1025
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:28,640
who makes you believe it is. 
You're not that lonely cat lady 

1026
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:31,360
that everybody is against, 
right? 

1027
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:35,560
Now, how can you be lonely when 
you got a cat? 

1028
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:38,120
Exactly. 
Exactly. 

1029
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:43,080
It's kind of like those, I 
shouldn't say men. 

1030
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:51,280
It's fact that the reason why 
cats, especially Black Cats, are

1031
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:57,720
associated with witches was back
into I think it was the 1400s 

1032
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:05,200
around the bubonic plague side. 
They were used to catch rats and

1033
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:12,840
the witches or medicinal women. 
We keep the cats for that. 

1034
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:22,000
And because someone someday just
decided, oh, that's a witch, 

1035
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:25,960
they have a cat. 
Cats are the devil. 

1036
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:31,920
They got rid of the cats and the
bubonic plague happened because 

1037
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:34,320
nobody was there to catch the 
rats. 

1038
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:38,600
So like, our people have always 
been geniuses. 

1039
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:45,360
Right, exactly. 
But it it's again, it's that 

1040
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:56,960
judgement that gets the best of 
people and it's kind of like if 

1041
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:59,800
it's do no harm, why do you 
care? 

1042
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:07,920
Who cares like. 
I'm of an age where you had to 

1043
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:11,840
be undercover unless you were in
very specific places, so I spent

1044
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:15,960
like 20 years very, very quiet 
about what you did. 

1045
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:22,480
Same here. 
Yeah, I'm, I'm on the end of 

1046
01:18:22,480 --> 01:18:27,600
Gen. 
X, but I grew up in a Catholic 

1047
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:33,480
religious house in Boston, Irish
Catholic. 

1048
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:39,080
So my parents were actually 
really relaxed. 

1049
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:45,280
They didn't force me to church, 
but I still have respect for the

1050
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:53,880
church at the time. 
But being brought up that way, 

1051
01:18:54,840 --> 01:19:03,200
we had to hide any signs of 
witchcraft, Tara, things like 

1052
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:08,480
that. 
And now I have my malaria, 

1053
01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:13,720
practicing witchcraft and 
carrying crystals. 

1054
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:18,840
It's the 1st of the month. 
I was smoke cleansing my house, 

1055
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:27,240
prepping up the protections and 
you know, my little spells and 

1056
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:30,640
she was all Thor. 
She's like, don't forget it's 

1057
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:34,880
the first mom, let's go. 
We have to get the house cleanse

1058
01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:40,880
180 Growing up that would have 
been taboo. 

1059
01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:46,560
Kind of do that in your room, 
not all public so. 

1060
01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:52,480
Yeah, and I love that it, it 
creates community in the home 

1061
01:19:52,480 --> 01:19:55,480
when you get to do it together. 
Yeah, you know, that's that's we

1062
01:19:55,480 --> 01:19:58,640
forget community starts there in
in our dwellings. 

1063
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:00,840
Yeah. 
So to have everybody on board is

1064
01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:04,800
really nice. 
So you have an Etsy store also 

1065
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:09,040
called MCE, right? 
Yes, because behind you is like 

1066
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:13,600
jewelry stuff. 
Yes, all my balls. 

1067
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:16,080
Sorry. 
Yeah. 

1068
01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:21,720
Oh my goodness, jewels and 
bracelets. 

1069
01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:25,160
I actually this feels really 
good. 

1070
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:28,240
I'm just starting to open one. 
You sent me a couple things, so 

1071
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:29,400
I'm opening. 
One of. 

1072
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:35,800
Oh those are beautiful. 
Oh wow, oh wow this feels so 

1073
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:38,160
good. 
I'm getting tingles all over. 

1074
01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:42,040
Wow, she sent me a beautiful 
amethyst. 

1075
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:44,760
It's Amethyst, right My. 
Glasses are. 

1076
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:47,680
It is smoky quartz. 
OK, So it's not. 

1077
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:50,040
I was like, my glasses are 
screwing up, is it? 

1078
01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:53,880
But it is smoky quartz. 
OK, you did not know this, but 

1079
01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:57,320
smoky quartz is one of my very 
very very favorite stones. 

1080
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:01,120
Yes. 
I don't talk about it very much.

1081
01:21:01,120 --> 01:21:03,680
I should talk about it more 
because I talk a lot about 

1082
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:06,800
hematite because it's a a lot of
people need that right now. 

1083
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:09,680
I have, oh, this just, oh, I 
have. 

1084
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:12,520
It's beautiful. 
My MSS. 

1085
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:16,560
Oh, this is gorgeous. 
It's gone on my desk. 

1086
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:18,480
You know, I got more. 
You sent me more stuff. 

1087
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:26,120
Yes, I did. 
Kim That's why this is Kim's 

1088
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:27,760
very first podcast interview, 
so. 

1089
01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:32,440
Yeah, I did. 
I was going to say excuse my 

1090
01:21:32,440 --> 01:21:35,920
nervous just you can hear my 
voice. 

1091
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:37,960
You've been just fine. 
You've been just fine. 

1092
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:45,720
Oh wow, look at these. 
These are beautiful. 

1093
01:21:47,480 --> 01:21:50,640
I love that. 
What else? 

1094
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:52,800
Now these are these. 
These types of things are in 

1095
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:57,400
your Etsy store, correct? 
Yes, yeah, I try to do as much 

1096
01:21:57,400 --> 01:21:59,960
crystal based jewelry. 
Oh, these are gorgeous. 

1097
01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:06,360
Look at that. 
You spoiled me. 

1098
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:10,680
What the hell? 
It's a thank you for everything 

1099
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:13,600
you do for us. 
Oh my God. 

1100
01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:15,640
Well, it. 
Oh, wow. 

1101
01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:18,000
These are going on right now. 
Look at this. 

1102
01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:22,840
Perfect. 
Actually, not that finger. 

1103
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:25,880
We'll leave it there for now. 
That's OK. 

1104
01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:28,800
It fits perfect. 
I took my nails off. 

1105
01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:32,000
They were bugging me. 
I'll get them back on tomorrow 

1106
01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:34,840
but or Monday. 
But that's gorgeous. 

1107
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:36,800
This is a little Onyx. 
Yep. 

1108
01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:39,560
Oh that's gorgeous. 
I love that. 

1109
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:43,520
Bohemian style. 
That's me. 

1110
01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:50,800
I'm the Bohemian. 
Yes, and I have some new ones I 

1111
01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:55,640
just made today. 
Oh, pretty. 

1112
01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:58,480
Oh, those are gorgeous. 
Look at that. 

1113
01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:02,480
Isn't that beautiful? 
That's really pretty. 

1114
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:10,280
Oh, I love that. 
So for right now I find the base

1115
01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:16,920
and I can put the crystals in 
the gems in them, but I'm trying

1116
01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:21,040
to learn how to actually make 
the ring bands and the base 

1117
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:23,160
myself so. 
That's very cool. 

1118
01:23:23,640 --> 01:23:30,280
Yeah, so I'm excited, but I'll 
be putting up a bunch of new 

1119
01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:33,640
jewelry. 
Sorry jewelry, I can't talk 

1120
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:34,200
today. 
It's. 

1121
01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:36,960
OK. 
A bunch. 

1122
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:42,920
Of new problems today. 
Yeah, this week early in the 

1123
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:48,240
week probably like Monday, 
Tuesday and I'll have a whole 

1124
01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:53,520
new Slough so and I'll be doing 
a Patreon discount. 

1125
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:59,880
So anybody in my Patreon or 
Lori's Patreon I'll be putting 

1126
01:23:59,880 --> 01:24:04,960
up probably like a 20% discount.
So very nice. 

1127
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:08,880
I'll make sure that's in the 
post when I put it up in 

1128
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:11,400
Patreon. 
So I'll do that when I put this 

1129
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:16,800
segment specifically up. 
And then, yeah, but I'll put the

1130
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:19,240
Patreon link in the show notes 
because you're going to be 

1131
01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:21,080
giving me some links for the 
show notes. 

1132
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:28,040
So I've been bugging you forever
to move your Tookus. 

1133
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:32,240
Yeah, and, and put yourself out 
there. 

1134
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:33,960
You're doing great. 
I'm proud of you. 

1135
01:24:34,440 --> 01:24:36,640
Thank you. 
I'm really trying now. 

1136
01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:44,240
I'm a Charlie girl. 
I'm I get very nervous being on 

1137
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:46,160
camera off. 
Cam. 

1138
01:24:46,440 --> 01:24:51,080
I'm fine, I can ramble on, I 
have no problems. 

1139
01:24:51,440 --> 01:24:56,840
It's that pesky camera kind of 
just makes me shy. 

1140
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:01,080
I'm going to find some. 
I'm going to find some old 

1141
01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:05,280
videos from 2013. 
Eli found them. 

1142
01:25:05,720 --> 01:25:11,040
We all know Eli at this point. 
Eli Gomez, he found them on my 

1143
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:17,360
old Vimeo account. 
And from when I was forced and I

1144
01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:20,320
mean force, I was working for an
online Business School and they 

1145
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:22,360
said, hey, there's this thing 
called live streaming. 

1146
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:27,120
We got 300 students for you. 
And I was like, I, I don't do 

1147
01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:29,920
camera and they're like, no, you
do great presentations. 

1148
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:34,800
I'm like as a voice over person,
I'm a vocalist. 

1149
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:39,280
I am not an on camera person. 
And they're like, Nah, you're 

1150
01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:44,400
great, you're going to do it. 
And I was like, I do not like my

1151
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:47,760
daughter will vouch. 
There's a lot of pictures like 

1152
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:54,320
this, like, so I know I look 
like a natural. 

1153
01:25:55,320 --> 01:26:00,240
I'm not. 
It's a lot of practice, so just 

1154
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:02,440
keep doing it. 
Yeah, that's why I'm making you 

1155
01:26:02,440 --> 01:26:06,080
guys get up here. 
I'm definitely working on it. 

1156
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:11,840
You're doing great. 
Yeah, and I'm working on 

1157
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:17,120
ignoring the feedback I get. 
Like, it's like the ADHD brain. 

1158
01:26:17,120 --> 01:26:22,520
It's like squirrel. 
That's why I sound funky today. 

1159
01:26:22,520 --> 01:26:26,440
I'm like OK. 
Yeah, you're getting a little 

1160
01:26:26,440 --> 01:26:28,920
echo in your own headphones. 
Yeah. 

1161
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:33,440
So I'm like slowly moving my 
head back so I can hear you. 

1162
01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:39,720
That way I don't get as much 
feedback 'cause when I don't 

1163
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:45,040
hear myself talking through the 
headphones, I'm much more 

1164
01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:46,920
relaxed. 
Right. 

1165
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:49,000
Oh, it's like that for 
everybody. 

1166
01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:54,280
You're doing great. 
And if, and that's the thing I, 

1167
01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:59,280
I want to highlight more of the 
people who are doing good work 

1168
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:02,040
out in the world, There are 
some, you know, just here's the 

1169
01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:04,480
deal. 
Here's a Laurie lecture. 

1170
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:07,920
There are a lot of very 
confident, well practiced. 

1171
01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:11,360
Now, they might be shy actually 
like me, but they just have more

1172
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:14,000
practice in front of the camera.
And because they're more 

1173
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:18,240
confident on camera, they 
they're able to put themselves 

1174
01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:21,600
out there and, and meet whatever
agenda they have, neither good 

1175
01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:23,360
nor bad. 
I'm not saying there's anything 

1176
01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:25,720
bad with that or good with that.
It's just the truth. 

1177
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:31,320
But there's so many talented, 
heartfelt, heart centered people

1178
01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:33,520
doing good stuff. 
And you are a wealth of 

1179
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:36,160
knowledge. 
Like you're an advocate for 

1180
01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:38,560
people. 
You're an advocate for people 

1181
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:43,160
who well tell you, tell the 
story. 

1182
01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:50,120
You know you, you are amazing. 
My child is nervous spicy and 

1183
01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:54,520
you know, being a single parent 
of a nervous spicy child with 

1184
01:27:55,320 --> 01:28:04,920
other disabilities both 
developmental and into medical. 

1185
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:11,520
I've had a fight her school 
system pretty much all our lives

1186
01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:19,320
and advocate for proper care, 
proper support and now they're 

1187
01:28:19,320 --> 01:28:25,080
transitioning to adulthood, 
turning 18 in a couple months. 

1188
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:33,600
So I'm on that aspect currently 
advocating and really trying to 

1189
01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:37,520
set them up into a good 
transition to adult supports, 

1190
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:44,920
which are slowly needed right 
now prior to this past election 

1191
01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:47,040
and what this current 
administration is doing. 

1192
01:28:48,200 --> 01:28:54,600
This is an area that has been 
inadequate for years, for 

1193
01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:59,280
decades. 
And we're trying to get them 

1194
01:28:59,280 --> 01:29:04,200
into a good spot where they can 
be as independent as possible. 

1195
01:29:05,200 --> 01:29:14,680
And part of that is going to my 
legislators, you know, lobbying 

1196
01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:21,120
for bills, working with places 
like the Arc, you know, the Arc 

1197
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:29,640
with my state within my region. 
And right now they have a 

1198
01:29:29,880 --> 01:29:34,320
support company or service 
provider that comes out once a 

1199
01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:38,800
month. 
And I've been asked to volunteer

1200
01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:45,280
on the human rights committee. 
And then it's just occurred in 

1201
01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:50,600
the last two weeks, I've been 
asked to volunteer and become a 

1202
01:29:51,120 --> 01:29:53,240
board of director members for 
the same company. 

1203
01:29:54,720 --> 01:29:59,000
I can actually affect change 
through this company and 

1204
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:02,040
safeguard the clients for this 
company. 

1205
01:30:02,600 --> 01:30:04,440
And it's something I've always 
done. 

1206
01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:08,840
I do the same for animals, an 
animal activist as well. 

1207
01:30:10,520 --> 01:30:16,920
I also volunteer at our local 
animal rescue league with my 

1208
01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:23,880
child. 
And being an activist advocate 

1209
01:30:24,640 --> 01:30:31,640
is something that I've kind of, 
it's natural for me, but it's 

1210
01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:34,720
something I'm proud, you know, 
I'm very proud to do it. 

1211
01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:40,280
I always help everyone around me
and that's my goal. 

1212
01:30:41,120 --> 01:30:42,840
And that's what I love. 
You're bringing that to the 

1213
01:30:42,840 --> 01:30:46,920
table too, like helping people 
understand how they can be 

1214
01:30:46,920 --> 01:30:49,880
advocates and providing 
resources. 

1215
01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:53,800
You do that a lot in the Awake 
space Patreon in our community 

1216
01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:56,800
organizing thread. 
You put up useful resources, 

1217
01:30:56,800 --> 01:31:02,200
links to organizations action 
steps people can do besides cool

1218
01:31:02,200 --> 01:31:04,840
recipes, you know for other 
things. 

1219
01:31:04,840 --> 01:31:10,440
And again you're a polymath. 
The time of the one note Johnny 

1220
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:13,960
is over. 
You know it. 

1221
01:31:14,200 --> 01:31:17,400
It is very important for people 
who are multi passionate multi 

1222
01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:22,880
skilled to understand that makes
you a multi faceted person. 

1223
01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:27,040
So like when you're looking at a
diamond that's been cut, it 

1224
01:31:27,040 --> 01:31:31,000
sparkles more because of the 
amount of facets it has. 

1225
01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:37,360
So I, I love that, you know, 
you're starting to put yourself 

1226
01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:41,000
in your own setting. 
And I really encourage people to

1227
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:45,520
check out what Kim is doing and 
check out the links in the show 

1228
01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:48,560
notes because Kim's got lots of 
giddies. 

1229
01:31:49,920 --> 01:31:55,040
She gives a lot, 120% of herself
to everything she does. 

1230
01:31:56,680 --> 01:32:01,960
And I appreciate you more than 
you know, because having 

1231
01:32:01,960 --> 01:32:06,160
patrons, it's, it's not about 
the money, it's about people who

1232
01:32:06,160 --> 01:32:11,600
love what you do. 
And there are, you know, there 

1233
01:32:11,600 --> 01:32:14,520
are many other ways to to make 
an income. 

1234
01:32:15,360 --> 01:32:19,240
You know, it's, it's really, 
that's fabulous. 

1235
01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:22,880
It's not like it's not 
important, but it's also that 

1236
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:29,120
unshakable and unwavering 
appreciation because it there 

1237
01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:36,120
are long nights sometimes and 
those messages and the support 

1238
01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:40,120
of of community coming the other
way is really priceless. 

1239
01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:44,920
So thank you and thank you for 
the really pretty unanimian 

1240
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:45,480
rings. 
You're welcome. 

1241
01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:48,200
Thank. 
You I'll get the earrings on for

1242
01:32:48,200 --> 01:32:50,120
pictures. 
I can't do it with the 

1243
01:32:50,160 --> 01:32:52,960
headphones. 
Thank you so much. 

1244
01:32:54,120 --> 01:32:55,920
Thank you for me having on your 
podcast. 

1245
01:32:57,040 --> 01:33:02,520
I listen every Monday. 
Heart of the press is, so I hope

1246
01:33:02,520 --> 01:33:05,520
everybody you know takes a 
listen. 

1247
01:33:06,560 --> 01:33:20,840
Yeah. 
Man, that Smokey Quartz is 

1248
01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:24,640
sweet. 
Kim had no idea That Smokey 

1249
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:29,920
Quartz is one of my very, very 
favorite crystal friends. 

1250
01:33:29,920 --> 01:33:32,600
That's my friend Seth at Orich. 
Voltage calls them. 

1251
01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:37,120
I literally felt this tingles 
and then I grabbed it. 

1252
01:33:37,400 --> 01:33:40,440
So she picked out a goodie. 
I'm still wearing some beautiful

1253
01:33:40,440 --> 01:33:46,000
rings she sent me. 
She spoils me. 

1254
01:33:47,800 --> 01:33:51,280
That's one of the things I'm 
doing is I'm bringing people in 

1255
01:33:51,400 --> 01:33:55,960
the no longer published tier of 
cosmic surfers on, especially if

1256
01:33:55,960 --> 01:33:58,760
they have a business they want 
to shout out. 

1257
01:33:58,760 --> 01:34:02,000
We got to support one another 
every time we support a small 

1258
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:06,200
micro business, a little 
business owned by a mom or pop 

1259
01:34:06,200 --> 01:34:12,560
or individuals like myself or 
Kim is money that isn't going to

1260
01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:15,360
the big boys, at least not 
directly. 

1261
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:20,040
And so the more we can circulate
within our own economy, the 

1262
01:34:20,040 --> 01:34:26,280
better there is that. 
I also want to give a shout out 

1263
01:34:26,280 --> 01:34:31,480
to my best friend in the whole 
wide world, Kirsten Soga, who is

1264
01:34:31,480 --> 01:34:35,080
an amazing chocolatier. 
And I happen to know she's been 

1265
01:34:35,080 --> 01:34:37,680
making chocolate in the 
chocolate kitchen again. 

1266
01:34:38,160 --> 01:34:42,240
And it is biodynamic, which is 
better than organic. 

1267
01:34:42,760 --> 01:34:49,560
It is, Oh my God, her base cacao
is beyond fair trade and it is 

1268
01:34:49,640 --> 01:34:55,240
divine in and of its own right. 
I can eat it and I'm allergic to

1269
01:34:55,240 --> 01:35:01,120
chocolate so it is not processed
in any way that gets me. 

1270
01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:06,160
And it is so beautifully grown 
and it has its own many 

1271
01:35:06,160 --> 01:35:08,480
different flavors depending on 
the otare it comes from. 

1272
01:35:08,480 --> 01:35:15,520
But anyway, Kirsten is an 
outstanding chocolate lady, so I

1273
01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:17,640
will put her link in my show 
notes. 

1274
01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:20,280
You can check her out. 
Kirsten's also running at the 

1275
01:35:20,320 --> 01:35:23,080
mystery school meetings for me 
every single week. 

1276
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:26,160
She facilitates that coming 
together. 

1277
01:35:26,160 --> 01:35:29,640
Anybody can facilitate the 
meetings, but Kirsten make sure 

1278
01:35:29,640 --> 01:35:32,480
they happen. 
And I appreciate that. 

1279
01:35:32,760 --> 01:35:35,800
So giving Kirsten a big shout 
out here. 

1280
01:35:35,800 --> 01:35:37,480
We'll get her back on the 
podcast. 

1281
01:35:37,480 --> 01:35:41,120
It's always meaningful 
conversation when we get a 

1282
01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:44,760
chance to do that. 
Mystery School is getting some 

1283
01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:48,160
special pods this month. 
I'm getting around to all the 

1284
01:35:48,160 --> 01:35:51,480
stuff I've been wanting to do. 
What it mean. 

1285
01:35:51,480 --> 01:35:55,080
Not enough time, but now that 
I'm getting a little more help 

1286
01:35:55,560 --> 01:35:59,840
in the editing department, 
slowly but surely we're building

1287
01:36:00,080 --> 01:36:03,840
a really good team. 
Shout out to Alicia, my 

1288
01:36:03,880 --> 01:36:09,760
assistant, for doing her 
damnedest to keep me in line. 

1289
01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:11,920
And that's like herding 
squirrels. 

1290
01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:16,760
And my daughter. 
As always, Sarah is is an 

1291
01:36:17,040 --> 01:36:21,360
Immaculate partner in crime and 
you can check her out during our

1292
01:36:21,360 --> 01:36:23,680
Friday game nights. 
I know a lot of people don't 

1293
01:36:23,680 --> 01:36:27,200
quite understand why we'd be 
role-playing, but I'm trying to 

1294
01:36:27,200 --> 01:36:31,360
teach the power of turning your 
attention for a couple of hours 

1295
01:36:31,840 --> 01:36:36,720
and doing something that seems 
meaningless, but it's fun. 

1296
01:36:37,120 --> 01:36:42,200
There is power in that because 
it takes away the do or die, the

1297
01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:46,520
life or death and nature of the 
moment, so you can restore and 

1298
01:36:46,600 --> 01:36:51,360
get back into the fray. 
We always sleep really good 

1299
01:36:51,440 --> 01:36:54,760
after game night, and all of us 
have been finding that, so 

1300
01:36:54,760 --> 01:37:00,560
that's super fun. 
What a ride, what a ride, what a

1301
01:37:00,560 --> 01:37:03,040
ride. 
I'll give you a sneak peek of 

1302
01:37:03,040 --> 01:37:04,520
the article. 
I'm going to read the whole 

1303
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:09,240
thing because it's long, but I 
always read the articles all out

1304
01:37:09,240 --> 01:37:13,000
for a special patron only 
podcast for magazine subscribers

1305
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:15,760
and above. 
But I want to read to you a 

1306
01:37:16,200 --> 01:37:21,600
little bit about what I wrote 
about holding consciousness. 

1307
01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:27,800
All right? 
One of the most important 

1308
01:37:27,800 --> 01:37:33,200
lessons any metaphysical student
can learn is how to hold their 

1309
01:37:33,200 --> 01:37:37,720
consciousness steady. 
Think of the scene in Star Wars 

1310
01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:41,760
The Empire Strikes Back when 
Luke is in the swamp with Yoda. 

1311
01:37:42,360 --> 01:37:46,520
Yoda is having Luke focus on 
levitating the fighter that has 

1312
01:37:46,520 --> 01:37:49,760
sunk into the muck and Luke 
struggles to hold his 

1313
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:53,680
consciousness beyond the outcome
and the fighter falls back and 

1314
01:37:53,680 --> 01:37:55,920
sinks into the mud. 
Why? 

1315
01:37:56,840 --> 01:38:00,040
Luke is trying to force the 
outcome. 

1316
01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:04,760
It isn't until Luke can allow 
his focus to flow that the 

1317
01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:07,560
fighter can be removed from the 
mucky swamp. 

1318
01:38:08,960 --> 01:38:13,480
It's not mere fiction though. 
We don't often use our 

1319
01:38:13,480 --> 01:38:16,840
consciousness to levitate items,
and why would we? 

1320
01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:20,200
A neat parlor trick, a way to 
show off. 

1321
01:38:20,680 --> 01:38:24,640
We certainly can't manipulate 
physical objects until we can 

1322
01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:27,960
focus our own consciousness on 
ourselves. 

1323
01:38:28,440 --> 01:38:32,920
Without self mastery, 
actualization, and realization, 

1324
01:38:33,280 --> 01:38:36,880
we are unable to manipulate the 
world around us. 

1325
01:38:37,440 --> 01:38:42,120
But what does that? 
What does it mean to hold our 

1326
01:38:42,120 --> 01:38:49,320
consciousness? 
To hold our mind steady, to be 

1327
01:38:49,320 --> 01:38:53,840
unwavering, to allow ourselves 
the ability to be mentally and 

1328
01:38:53,840 --> 01:38:57,600
emotionally supple in the face 
of a quick, chaotic outer world 

1329
01:38:58,040 --> 01:39:01,680
grants us to be more. 
Grants us more than peace. 

1330
01:39:02,040 --> 01:39:05,760
It grants US power. 
And much like Luke and Swamp, 

1331
01:39:06,040 --> 01:39:08,760
holding our consciousness takes 
time and practice. 

1332
01:39:09,200 --> 01:39:12,760
We won't automatically succeed. 
We will. 

1333
01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:17,680
We will waver. 
Even Yoda wavered, it's just 

1334
01:39:17,680 --> 01:39:21,600
that in comparison to a 
neophyte, his wavering was less 

1335
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:26,480
perceptible. 
We will never be 100% mindful at

1336
01:39:26,480 --> 01:39:29,400
all times. 
We will never achieve perfection

1337
01:39:29,400 --> 01:39:32,440
in our consciousness and that is
not a flaw. 

1338
01:39:32,480 --> 01:39:37,040
That is part of our design. 
To expect perfection or even a 

1339
01:39:37,040 --> 01:39:40,720
modicum of mastery at the 
beginning of a learning process 

1340
01:39:41,040 --> 01:39:44,640
is ego based. 
Holding ourselves to arbitrary 

1341
01:39:44,640 --> 01:39:49,080
high standards is not only a 
form of self oppression, it's 

1342
01:39:49,080 --> 01:39:53,640
egotistical and gives us the 
excuse to stop practicing. 

1343
01:39:55,000 --> 01:39:59,200
An effective, effective practice
for holding your consciousness 

1344
01:39:59,200 --> 01:40:01,360
steady. 
Regardless of outer 

1345
01:40:01,360 --> 01:40:05,360
circumstances is something I 
call hyper awareness. 

1346
01:40:05,880 --> 01:40:08,400
It's something I developed 
during the last leg of my 

1347
01:40:08,400 --> 01:40:13,120
healing journey from PTSD. 
Some people might call it CPTSD,

1348
01:40:13,480 --> 01:40:17,640
though the DSM 5 does not 
recognize CPTSD. 

1349
01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:22,040
We often find ourselves hyper 
vigilant when life seems 

1350
01:40:22,040 --> 01:40:26,040
chaotic, our brains producing 
the hormones that trigger fight 

1351
01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:29,880
or flight reactions and leaving 
us at the mercy of that state of

1352
01:40:29,880 --> 01:40:33,600
consciousness. 
However, science has proven that

1353
01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:38,000
our brains are designed to do 
what we tell them to do, and we 

1354
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:41,680
are not at the mercy of our 
limbic system, even if it feels 

1355
01:40:41,680 --> 01:40:45,040
like it. 
Full disclosure, it took weeks 

1356
01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:48,920
of practice before I noticed a 
measurable difference, and it 

1357
01:40:48,920 --> 01:40:52,680
was several years of daily 
practice before I was more 

1358
01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:56,360
responsive versus reactive on a 
day-to-day basis. 

1359
01:40:56,960 --> 01:41:00,880
I also had the added benefit of 
weekly sessions with a PhD 

1360
01:41:00,880 --> 01:41:04,600
psychologist, the late Doctor 
John Silva, who monitored my 

1361
01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:07,080
progress and helped me measure 
results. 

1362
01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:11,640
It helps to have a team and a 
judgement free support system. 

1363
01:41:12,760 --> 01:41:15,840
That's my way of saying I'm not 
making any health claims. 

1364
01:41:16,600 --> 01:41:22,120
Hyper awareness in the everyday.
Hyper awareness is a concept of 

1365
01:41:22,120 --> 01:41:26,200
flipping the switch on hyper 
vigilance or extreme stress. 

1366
01:41:26,680 --> 01:41:30,520
A gentle way to begin this 
practice is to do the following 

1367
01:41:30,880 --> 01:41:33,840
one. 
Narrate your actions to stay in 

1368
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:36,760
the present moment. 
Imagine you wake up in the 

1369
01:41:36,760 --> 01:41:39,680
morning and instead of just 
rolling out of bed and 

1370
01:41:39,680 --> 01:41:43,840
robotically stating starting 
your day like you always do, you

1371
01:41:43,840 --> 01:41:46,400
start by saying or thinking I am
awake. 

1372
01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:50,240
If you stretch before rolling 
out of bed, narrate that too. 

1373
01:41:50,240 --> 01:41:52,880
I'm stretching my arms and I 
yawned. 

1374
01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:55,160
Now I'm going to roll out of 
bed. 

1375
01:41:55,320 --> 01:41:59,520
My feet are on the ground. 
It seems silly, yet this 

1376
01:41:59,520 --> 01:42:03,560
deceptively simple practice is 
helpful to in grounding you to 

1377
01:42:03,560 --> 01:42:07,120
your present moment. 
You can do this with any task 

1378
01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:10,840
like washing dishes, driving 
your vehicle, doing computer 

1379
01:42:10,840 --> 01:42:13,200
work. 
It's important to be descriptive

1380
01:42:13,200 --> 01:42:15,440
as well. 
My feet are on the floor. 

1381
01:42:15,520 --> 01:42:17,920
The hardwood is cold against my 
toes. 

1382
01:42:18,120 --> 01:42:23,600
I want to put socks on. 
Hyper awareness in the everyday 

1383
01:42:23,600 --> 01:42:27,200
continued 2. 
Pay attention to your body 

1384
01:42:27,200 --> 01:42:29,720
posture and correct it as often 
as necessary. 

1385
01:42:30,240 --> 01:42:32,920
Our body responds to our 
thoughts and emotions. 

1386
01:42:33,240 --> 01:42:36,840
Paying attention and correcting 
our posture and bodily reactions

1387
01:42:37,120 --> 01:42:39,560
helps us further release tension
and stress. 

1388
01:42:39,960 --> 01:42:43,280
You can lower cortisol and other
stress hormones by changing and 

1389
01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:45,320
holding a less defensive 
posture. 

1390
01:42:45,920 --> 01:42:50,120
It might feel uncomfortable at 
1st and vulnerable because we do

1391
01:42:50,120 --> 01:42:52,480
things to protect ourself 
unconsciously. 

1392
01:42:52,920 --> 01:42:56,360
So try this alone at home rather
than in public venues when 

1393
01:42:56,360 --> 01:43:00,920
you're first starting, just to 
make it gentle and easier. 

1394
01:43:01,840 --> 01:43:04,880
If you notice your hands are 
clenched, open your hands. 

1395
01:43:05,480 --> 01:43:09,280
Taking a few deep inhales and 
exhaling slowly will help 

1396
01:43:09,280 --> 01:43:12,040
release the tension. 
If you notice you're sitting 

1397
01:43:12,040 --> 01:43:15,200
with your arms folded across 
your middle and you're hunched 

1398
01:43:15,200 --> 01:43:19,200
over, sit up straight, stretch, 
and allow your arms to move to 

1399
01:43:19,200 --> 01:43:22,360
your sides. 
We often hunch and clutch our 

1400
01:43:22,360 --> 01:43:26,200
bodies to protect our vital 
organs when we feel a threat. 

1401
01:43:26,600 --> 01:43:30,600
The goal of noticing and 
changing your body posture is to

1402
01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:34,960
help your body, mind, and self 
feel less threatened and secure.

1403
01:43:36,680 --> 01:43:41,280
And three, if you have thoughts 
on repeat, learn to pattern 

1404
01:43:41,280 --> 01:43:44,640
interrupt. 
Intrusive and obsessive thinking

1405
01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:50,080
is a tough thing to shake, as 
easy as it it as it's easy to 

1406
01:43:50,080 --> 01:43:53,440
get stuck in a loop when we're 
feeling overwhelmed and 

1407
01:43:53,440 --> 01:43:57,560
hopeless. 
All right, if you want the rest 

1408
01:43:57,560 --> 01:44:01,800
of the article with the rest of 
that exercise, you can check out

1409
01:44:01,800 --> 01:44:05,200
the magazine and the patron 
coming out this week. 

1410
01:44:05,200 --> 01:44:08,440
I was hoping to have it out on 
Tuesday, but we'll see how that 

1411
01:44:08,440 --> 01:44:12,400
goes as my writing schedule has 
been interrupted by life. 

1412
01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:19,640
Because it's March, it's 2025. 
But again, you if you're a 

1413
01:44:19,640 --> 01:44:22,880
magazine subscriber and you 
haven't seen your horoscopes and

1414
01:44:22,880 --> 01:44:26,080
the headlines in the sneak peek 
and edited hot off the presses 

1415
01:44:26,080 --> 01:44:29,920
right after I wrote them, you 
can check those posts out in the

1416
01:44:29,920 --> 01:44:35,320
Patreon posted them last week. 
So yay. 

1417
01:44:36,640 --> 01:44:42,440
So friends, I know, I know 
things are uncertain and I know 

1418
01:44:42,440 --> 01:44:47,040
there are people who claim to 
have special insight and they're

1419
01:44:47,040 --> 01:44:49,400
saying we're going to have a 
civil war and they're going to 

1420
01:44:49,440 --> 01:44:51,760
saying we're going to have a 
nuclear war. 

1421
01:44:51,760 --> 01:44:55,560
And I do not see global thermal 
nuclear war. 

1422
01:44:56,520 --> 01:44:59,440
I do see the potential for 
tactical use of weapons. 

1423
01:44:59,680 --> 01:45:04,120
Unfortunately, I don't think 
it's a guarantee or a certainty 

1424
01:45:04,120 --> 01:45:06,160
it will happen, but I do see the
potential. 

1425
01:45:08,640 --> 01:45:13,960
I do see the potential for 
Europe taking action in defense 

1426
01:45:13,960 --> 01:45:20,040
of Ukraine depends on what 
happens here and how we further 

1427
01:45:20,040 --> 01:45:24,080
isolate ourselves in the United 
States and how things happen 

1428
01:45:24,080 --> 01:45:29,720
here. 
But I am concerned about the DC 

1429
01:45:29,720 --> 01:45:33,240
area as we move towards the end 
of April. 

1430
01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:38,120
I think if you're going to 
protests that you need to be 

1431
01:45:38,120 --> 01:45:43,040
very, very mindful of your 
surroundings and be very, very 

1432
01:45:43,040 --> 01:45:48,680
prepared for pushback, 
especially if you're in the DC 

1433
01:45:48,680 --> 01:45:54,640
area and, you know, wherever you
live, you know, so far it's been

1434
01:45:54,680 --> 01:45:57,880
pretty good. 
But things could turn around 

1435
01:45:57,880 --> 01:46:02,920
that full moon. 
So I think we're going to see 

1436
01:46:02,920 --> 01:46:06,040
interesting events. 
I think we could see several 

1437
01:46:06,040 --> 01:46:09,400
world leaders this month have 
health crises. 

1438
01:46:09,440 --> 01:46:11,480
We could see people to be 
deposed. 

1439
01:46:11,480 --> 01:46:13,720
We could see don't get your 
hopes up. 

1440
01:46:13,720 --> 01:46:17,880
It may not be the ones we want, 
but it could be. 

1441
01:46:18,320 --> 01:46:22,120
There could be some health 
crises going around. 

1442
01:46:22,680 --> 01:46:26,880
Whether or not we hear about it 
or see it in the moment remains 

1443
01:46:26,880 --> 01:46:31,920
to be seen. 
You have a lot more power then 

1444
01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:34,920
you know, and that doesn't mean 
we can wave a magic wand and 

1445
01:46:34,920 --> 01:46:40,960
suddenly make everything OK. 
But you can make what you can OK

1446
01:46:41,040 --> 01:46:43,680
in the moment, all right? 
And if it's your birthday month,

1447
01:46:43,680 --> 01:46:48,160
you can still have a good 
birthday, I said so OK, what's 

1448
01:46:48,160 --> 01:46:55,280
going on outside of you and your
immediate environment does not 

1449
01:46:55,280 --> 01:46:57,920
mean you don't get to have a 
good birthday. 

1450
01:46:57,920 --> 01:47:02,120
You can have a very good 
birthday even if the whole world

1451
01:47:02,600 --> 01:47:05,440
is having a crisis. 
And we've had multiple members 

1452
01:47:05,440 --> 01:47:10,080
talk about how they've had 
personal good days in the middle

1453
01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:12,400
of the shit show, OK in the 
Patreon. 

1454
01:47:12,400 --> 01:47:16,560
I just love the comments and the
activity in the community that 

1455
01:47:16,560 --> 01:47:20,960
has built up in the awake space.
It is like hearts joining 

1456
01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:23,040
together. 
Like minds could be dangerous, 

1457
01:47:23,040 --> 01:47:25,960
but like hearts grow beautiful 
gardens. 

1458
01:47:27,160 --> 01:47:30,160
And Oh yeah, I thought I'd talk 
a little bit about gardening. 

1459
01:47:30,640 --> 01:47:35,080
Why don't we do that to end the 
podcast and talk a little bit 

1460
01:47:35,520 --> 01:47:40,960
about what you can do to grow a 
little bit of a little something

1461
01:47:40,960 --> 01:47:57,240
something on your own. 
So gardening and astrology, some

1462
01:47:57,240 --> 01:47:59,240
of the oldest subjects. 
I'm going to move the mic a 

1463
01:47:59,240 --> 01:48:02,640
little closer. 
One of the oldest subjects when 

1464
01:48:02,640 --> 01:48:07,960
it comes to astrology is 
horticulture, which gardening is

1465
01:48:07,960 --> 01:48:12,120
included in. 
The phases of the moon play a 

1466
01:48:12,120 --> 01:48:14,960
large role in gardening. 
In fact, that's where people got

1467
01:48:14,960 --> 01:48:19,040
the idea for the manifestations.
OK, which manifestation just 

1468
01:48:19,040 --> 01:48:21,680
means to reveal. 
There's a whole process in that 

1469
01:48:21,680 --> 01:48:24,760
where we're getting clear, we 
set intentions, we allow things 

1470
01:48:24,760 --> 01:48:27,440
to maturate, and then we harvest
or receive. 

1471
01:48:29,160 --> 01:48:34,040
And there's 8 phases. 
All right, but we'll, let's talk

1472
01:48:34,040 --> 01:48:36,800
about new and full moons. 
On new moons, we want to plant 

1473
01:48:36,800 --> 01:48:39,400
our seeds. 
OK, This is a great time to 

1474
01:48:39,400 --> 01:48:41,960
germinate. 
You can do it in the three days 

1475
01:48:41,960 --> 01:48:46,000
of the phase. 
Full moons are not a great time 

1476
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:52,520
to plant. 
OK, now you could buy plants at 

1477
01:48:52,520 --> 01:48:55,240
the nursery on a full moon. 
That would be fine. 

1478
01:48:56,000 --> 01:48:59,000
In fact, if you're just getting 
started gardening, you might 

1479
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:03,400
just want to buy starts. 
OK, another thing about 

1480
01:49:03,400 --> 01:49:05,800
gardening you want to know is 
you don't have to grow all your 

1481
01:49:05,800 --> 01:49:07,680
food. 
You can just buy a couple 

1482
01:49:07,680 --> 01:49:11,520
plants. 
You just get a tomato plant and 

1483
01:49:11,520 --> 01:49:14,160
try it out. 
If you've never done it before, 

1484
01:49:14,680 --> 01:49:18,880
you can get some green onion 
seeds and try those. 

1485
01:49:19,440 --> 01:49:23,000
You know, you don't have to do a
big garden, but growing some 

1486
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:30,640
easy things like lettuce, 
spinach, charred rocket or 

1487
01:49:30,640 --> 01:49:37,800
arugula, very easy to grow. 
Yeah, there are times, and I'm 

1488
01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:39,440
writing more about this. 
I'm putting in a little 

1489
01:49:39,440 --> 01:49:42,760
gardening guide into the Awake 
space Astrology magazine. 

1490
01:49:44,320 --> 01:49:48,520
There are times where certain 
signs work better with certain 

1491
01:49:48,520 --> 01:49:55,840
kinds of fruit and vegetables. 
OK, so with the new moon being 

1492
01:49:55,840 --> 01:49:59,440
in Aries this month and also 
being a total or not a total, 

1493
01:49:59,440 --> 01:50:03,600
but a parcel solar eclipse, if 
it's not an eclipse where you 

1494
01:50:03,600 --> 01:50:06,600
live, meaning if it's not 
visible where you live, you then

1495
01:50:06,600 --> 01:50:11,760
you start things. 
You can start seeds or you could

1496
01:50:11,760 --> 01:50:16,400
get things like tomatoes, 
Peppers, chilies, you know, bell

1497
01:50:16,400 --> 01:50:21,400
Peppers, chilies, anything in 
the Capsaicum family, radishes, 

1498
01:50:25,040 --> 01:50:26,760
these these types of things, 
things have a little bit of 

1499
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:30,520
space or bite to them. 
With that new moon in Aries, 

1500
01:50:30,520 --> 01:50:34,680
it's great time to get either 
starts and you could get any 

1501
01:50:34,680 --> 01:50:39,200
kind of start or plant seeds for
those kinds of things. 

1502
01:50:39,640 --> 01:50:41,720
Try radishes. 
Those were pretty simple to 

1503
01:50:41,720 --> 01:50:45,200
grow. 
Watercress would be another one.

1504
01:50:46,400 --> 01:50:52,040
So those are all things you can 
do full moons, not a great time 

1505
01:50:52,040 --> 01:50:56,520
to plant seeds and start 
germination, but it's a great 

1506
01:50:56,520 --> 01:50:59,440
time. 
You can go buy pull up plants at

1507
01:50:59,440 --> 01:51:02,360
a nursery or something or a 
garden center. 

1508
01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:06,920
You know, again, if you're just 
getting started, I wouldn't 

1509
01:51:06,920 --> 01:51:09,360
invest a ton of money. 
I would, I would start with 

1510
01:51:09,360 --> 01:51:13,760
something you like to eat, OK, 
something you like to eat, 

1511
01:51:13,760 --> 01:51:16,560
something be like, I'd be really
proud of this if I grew this. 

1512
01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:21,720
I I look forward to cooking it. 
OK, so you know, you don't have 

1513
01:51:21,720 --> 01:51:24,880
to be like I have to survive and
I'm going to build a survival 

1514
01:51:24,880 --> 01:51:27,920
garden. 
If you're just getting started, 

1515
01:51:27,920 --> 01:51:30,400
probably not the best idea. 
If you're an old hand at 

1516
01:51:30,400 --> 01:51:34,080
gardening, you can improve your 
gardening by looking at the 

1517
01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:36,640
times for planting. 
That's what the Farmer's Almanac

1518
01:51:36,640 --> 01:51:41,240
uses is it's basically Astro 
Astro meteorology and and 

1519
01:51:41,240 --> 01:51:46,920
gardening astrology as well. 
So those are just a couple of 

1520
01:51:46,920 --> 01:51:50,000
tips. 
This month is not a bad month to

1521
01:51:50,240 --> 01:51:52,400
get starts. 
It's not a bad month to plant 

1522
01:51:52,400 --> 01:51:57,120
seeds, depending where you live.
All righty. 

1523
01:52:02,480 --> 01:52:10,400
So to end the podcast with 
something pleasant, something 

1524
01:52:10,400 --> 01:52:22,480
hopeful, I thought we would talk
about the upside of 2025. 

1525
01:52:23,840 --> 01:52:26,080
It was going to be disruptive 
regardless. 

1526
01:52:26,080 --> 01:52:27,960
And I kept saying that it 
wouldn't matter which 

1527
01:52:27,960 --> 01:52:30,440
administration. 
We were looking at global 

1528
01:52:30,680 --> 01:52:33,200
change. 
And we are change resistant 

1529
01:52:33,200 --> 01:52:36,000
creatures. 
That usually takes a crisis for 

1530
01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:39,880
humans to wake up, become aware.
Because when we're comfortable, 

1531
01:52:39,880 --> 01:52:41,560
there's no need to change, 
right? 

1532
01:52:41,560 --> 01:52:45,680
If you're comfy and it's amazing
at the amount of discomfort we 

1533
01:52:45,680 --> 01:52:49,840
can be comfortable with, then 
there's no change. 

1534
01:52:50,120 --> 01:52:55,120
Sometimes things have to be 
knocked about to make a 

1535
01:52:55,120 --> 01:52:57,160
difference. 
And no, it didn't have to go 

1536
01:52:57,160 --> 01:52:59,400
this way. 
There were other potentials and 

1537
01:52:59,400 --> 01:53:02,880
possibilities, but it's a 
possibility that became the 

1538
01:53:02,880 --> 01:53:07,120
probability that is the present.
So we're going to live with 

1539
01:53:07,120 --> 01:53:09,400
that. 
That's where we're at. 

1540
01:53:10,760 --> 01:53:14,720
Magical thinking isn't going to 
suddenly shift us into a new 

1541
01:53:14,840 --> 01:53:19,080
reality. 
What will help is collectively 

1542
01:53:19,280 --> 01:53:21,840
shifting our attention on our 
awareness. 

1543
01:53:21,880 --> 01:53:26,880
And March is a really good month
to do that with Mercury 

1544
01:53:26,880 --> 01:53:29,800
retrograde coming up. 
And we'll talk about that next 

1545
01:53:29,800 --> 01:53:32,440
week more. 
And in the Awake Space Astrology

1546
01:53:32,440 --> 01:53:35,600
magazine, I've written a Mercury
retrograde and a Venus 

1547
01:53:35,600 --> 01:53:39,000
retrograde survival guide 
because they'll both be 

1548
01:53:39,000 --> 01:53:42,920
retrograde this month. 
And that's not a bad thing, to 

1549
01:53:42,920 --> 01:53:46,240
be honest. 
It's slowing the roll, OK? 

1550
01:53:46,680 --> 01:53:53,160
There will be mishaps and 
strange happenings and things 

1551
01:53:53,160 --> 01:53:56,280
that make you go, hmm, all 
through March. 

1552
01:53:56,840 --> 01:54:00,120
And if you look at it from an 
outside perspective, instead of 

1553
01:54:00,120 --> 01:54:05,360
being collectively embarrassed, 
which we can still be if we want

1554
01:54:05,360 --> 01:54:11,200
to go, ah, that's a good thing 
that's going to slow the roll. 

1555
01:54:12,160 --> 01:54:17,080
That's a good thing that's 
causing pressure to be applied. 

1556
01:54:17,760 --> 01:54:23,720
That might slow things down. 
That might cause a redirection 

1557
01:54:23,960 --> 01:54:28,440
because because redirecting is 
easier than stopping something 

1558
01:54:28,440 --> 01:54:31,800
that's in full momentum. 
And like I said about anything 

1559
01:54:31,800 --> 01:54:35,200
started during the Mars 
retrograde period where people 

1560
01:54:35,200 --> 01:54:39,720
were barreling forward is bound 
to not work out all the way for,

1561
01:54:39,720 --> 01:54:43,120
you know, at all. 
And in fact not Mercury. 

1562
01:54:43,120 --> 01:54:46,600
But Mars is in its shadow phase.
OK. 

1563
01:54:46,600 --> 01:54:49,760
There is no pre shadow phase. 
It's a pre retrograde is the 

1564
01:54:49,760 --> 01:54:53,800
technical term, but there is the
shadow which is the post 

1565
01:54:53,800 --> 01:54:57,720
retrograde phase where the 
planet is going to trace back 

1566
01:54:57,720 --> 01:55:03,240
over the area it was retrograde.
So Mars is in its shadow until 

1567
01:55:03,240 --> 01:55:06,400
it gets back into Leo when it 
will be opposing Pluto and 

1568
01:55:06,400 --> 01:55:08,880
that's at the end of April and 
that's when I expect some big 

1569
01:55:08,880 --> 01:55:13,760
bada booms to happen. 
It doesn't mean it's going to be

1570
01:55:13,760 --> 01:55:17,160
civil war, the end of the world,
but we probably will see some 

1571
01:55:17,160 --> 01:55:21,280
kind of military action 
somewhere in the world. 

1572
01:55:21,600 --> 01:55:23,760
Doesn't necessarily mean the 
United States. 

1573
01:55:24,320 --> 01:55:30,920
OK, the best thing you can do is
take it a week at a time to 

1574
01:55:30,920 --> 01:55:34,800
suck. 
I am in the Patreon, and in 

1575
01:55:35,560 --> 01:55:41,760
fact, let me end you with some 
comments from the poll I put out

1576
01:55:42,120 --> 01:55:49,240
on Sunday. 
I was very moved because I was 

1577
01:55:49,240 --> 01:55:55,280
asking people what they wanted 
more of as we move through 2025 

1578
01:55:55,840 --> 01:55:59,080
with a very cute little meme of 
a dog that says I'm curious. 

1579
01:55:59,880 --> 01:56:04,480
So I asked people because I can 
come up with a million different

1580
01:56:04,480 --> 01:56:07,640
things, but I want to know what 
people want, you know, what do 

1581
01:56:07,640 --> 01:56:09,480
you want more of? 
And I'll make it. 

1582
01:56:10,280 --> 01:56:14,520
And so the options were I want 
more beginner level astrology. 

1583
01:56:14,520 --> 01:56:16,880
I'm here for the horoscopes, I'm
here for the discounts. 

1584
01:56:16,880 --> 01:56:20,720
I want more about using the 
energy of these times. 

1585
01:56:21,040 --> 01:56:25,160
I'm here for the chat and live 
streams and other please list in

1586
01:56:25,160 --> 01:56:30,680
the comments. 
There are so many comments, by 

1587
01:56:30,680 --> 01:56:35,480
the way, the overwhelming 
majority of people that 56% of 

1588
01:56:35,480 --> 01:56:39,560
respondents voted for. 
I want more about using the 

1589
01:56:39,640 --> 01:56:47,960
energy of these times and we had
a message from Andy from down 

1590
01:56:47,960 --> 01:56:49,680
under. 
I'm really happy with what you 

1591
01:56:49,680 --> 01:56:53,120
share as is. 
That being said, as a Libra Mars

1592
01:56:53,120 --> 01:56:55,800
and decision making for this one
is hard. 

1593
01:56:56,680 --> 01:57:00,960
I'd say energy work or transits 
if I had a gun to my head. 

1594
01:57:01,360 --> 01:57:06,000
Jen with the black heart. 
It's just how her username is. 

1595
01:57:06,080 --> 01:57:08,200
Merch. 
I'm get to merch someday. 

1596
01:57:08,600 --> 01:57:15,120
She's on me about merge Corey 
choose choose when also. 

1597
01:57:15,120 --> 01:57:17,360
But honestly I'm living 
everything. 

1598
01:57:17,360 --> 01:57:20,280
Still want to go through it all 
and learn more. 

1599
01:57:20,280 --> 01:57:22,520
I appreciate it. 
All the live streams have been 

1600
01:57:22,520 --> 01:57:25,800
so great. 
I'm still low tier but hoping to

1601
01:57:25,800 --> 01:57:28,480
change that later. 
Well thank you Corey. 

1602
01:57:28,480 --> 01:57:32,560
I appreciate everybody who 
supports the podcast, whether 

1603
01:57:32,560 --> 01:57:34,800
for free or as a supporting 
member. 

1604
01:57:35,080 --> 01:57:38,080
If you're a free member, notice 
that you're starting to get a 

1605
01:57:38,080 --> 01:57:40,960
little more content is coming. 
I told you I weigh the people 

1606
01:57:40,960 --> 01:57:42,240
who aren't patient. 
I don't. 

1607
01:57:42,520 --> 01:57:44,920
Maybe you don't make content by 
yourself. 

1608
01:57:44,960 --> 01:57:48,280
Maybe you're also not almost 56 
years old making content by 

1609
01:57:48,280 --> 01:57:49,640
yourself. 
But I'm getting the team 

1610
01:57:49,640 --> 01:57:51,760
together and it's getting a 
little easier for me. 

1611
01:57:53,960 --> 01:57:59,200
But anyway, as just a $5 level 
and you know, and everything, 

1612
01:57:59,280 --> 01:58:03,720
because my tiers kind of work 
like the top gets each thing 

1613
01:58:03,720 --> 01:58:07,040
sequentially down. 
So it's like when you go up, you

1614
01:58:07,040 --> 01:58:09,640
don't lose anything, just get 
the other stuff. 

1615
01:58:10,160 --> 01:58:14,160
But anywho, if you go into the 
shop, the e-books are free. 

1616
01:58:14,440 --> 01:58:17,960
That is the ultimate CHEAT 
SHEET, which is Astrology Guide 

1617
01:58:17,960 --> 01:58:23,360
Volume 1 Issue 1, and it is 
literally everything you need in

1618
01:58:23,360 --> 01:58:26,280
the basic of astrology, 
including my favorite thing I 

1619
01:58:26,280 --> 01:58:30,240
ever wrote, which is the story 
of the houses which explains the

1620
01:58:30,240 --> 01:58:32,960
expansion of consciousness if we
walk around the wheel. 

1621
01:58:34,840 --> 01:58:39,680
Then there is the Guide to 
Instinct and Intuition where you

1622
01:58:39,680 --> 01:58:42,600
can learn about your Claire's 
through your placements. 

1623
01:58:43,760 --> 01:58:46,720
And I described the difference 
between instinct and intuition. 

1624
01:58:48,520 --> 01:58:51,320
It's a little more metaphysical,
a little more esoteric. 

1625
01:58:51,480 --> 01:58:55,120
And then the third guide you 
get, as in you know that's for 

1626
01:58:55,120 --> 01:58:58,360
free just going to the shop and 
you can just download it as a $5

1627
01:58:58,360 --> 01:59:01,680
nap number, is your guide to 
Chiron, your light post on the 

1628
01:59:01,680 --> 01:59:03,720
healing path. 
And I explained why it isn't the

1629
01:59:03,720 --> 01:59:07,520
wound you cannot heal and all of
that fun stuff and why 

1630
01:59:07,520 --> 01:59:10,480
astrologers didn't say it. 
So I'll give you a history 

1631
01:59:10,480 --> 01:59:15,840
breakdown on that. 
You get access if you're a free 

1632
01:59:15,840 --> 01:59:18,200
member too. 
You get access to intro to the 

1633
01:59:18,200 --> 01:59:22,200
Natal chart, how to find 
transits, how to know if you're 

1634
01:59:22,200 --> 01:59:25,360
in your Saturn return and 
understanding Saturn returns, 

1635
01:59:25,640 --> 01:59:28,680
introduction to interceptions, 
that whole thing. 

1636
01:59:28,680 --> 01:59:30,920
That's all there. 
Just do a search. 

1637
01:59:30,920 --> 01:59:36,720
You got video Palooza loving sex
and astrology is a it's 

1638
01:59:36,720 --> 01:59:40,400
something supporting members 
$5.00 an up get and it's one of 

1639
01:59:40,400 --> 01:59:42,000
my favorite little classes I 
taught. 

1640
01:59:43,480 --> 01:59:46,120
There is so much information in 
the Patreon. 

1641
01:59:46,320 --> 01:59:48,640
It can be overwhelming. 
We're working on cleaning it up.

1642
01:59:50,000 --> 01:59:54,360
But yeah, so, so much good 
information coming your way and 

1643
01:59:54,360 --> 01:59:58,200
more to come. 
Big thank you to all of you for

1647
02:00:12,440 --> 02:00:16,160
week. 
We're going to talk about that 

1648
02:00:16,160 --> 02:00:19,000
full moon coming up in Mercury 
retrograde. 

1649
02:00:19,000 --> 02:00:21,520
We'll give you a survival guide,
I'll give you what's in the 

1650
02:00:21,520 --> 02:00:26,400
headlines, and I'll help you 
with more information about how 

1651
02:00:26,400 --> 02:00:28,440
to manage the energy.
