It's the Awake Space Astrology podcast.
I'm Lori Rivers, your host here to help you with some
inspiration to get those aspirations out into the world.
And I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, Lori, things
are really screwy in this world. It looks like we're going to
World War three, just like I said it was.
It looks like, you know, we're trying to defeat fascism.
And then there's a guy who wants to be a king and there's there's
these people who are extremists politically.
And well, how the hell am I supposed to have a good day with
that, Lori? How am I going to be inspired,
Lori? Because you can be.
And we're going to talk about that today.
I want you to get your tea, get your coffee, get your matcha,
get your beverage of choice. And certainly we want to hydrate
right now because whether we're going to work together, whether
we're folding laundry, go into the park, going to feed some
ducks. For geese, please don't give
them bread. There's there's better things to
give them. OK.
You can give them veggies, OK, but bread isn't good for them.
We can color together. We could go walking, we could
lay in the kiddie pool if we don't have another pool to swim
in, we could cuddle up with the EC or we could be putting our
eggs on and our hoodies if we're Down Under.
I hear how cold it is that down there with you guys, especially
in the area where Matilda is at outside of Melbourne.
So whatever we're doing, we're going to do it together.
And yes, you can be inspired and yes, you can have a good day.
And yes, things look scary right now.
And yet you get to be the helper if you're grown.
OK, And for all the kids listening, I'll do my best not
to have a potty now. All right, all right, let's get
going. In the next segment, I'm going
to tell you why I'm thinking about Flash Gordon.
I don't know if you've ever seen the movie Flash Gordon.
Queen did the soundtrack. I was a kid when it came out,
you know, like pre. I might have been a tweener.
It was. I was at least an early teenager
when I saw it on cable. As a kid, Flash Gordon was this
comic book hero. He's kind of a goofy character,
but it's a very, very outrageous energy.
And that's what I'm thinking about when we look at today,
Monday, the 16th, which by the way, it's my son's birthday, my
baby, he's 63. Anyway, I know he's probably not
listening because, you know, listening to your mom is kind of
cringe. But if you are listening,
sweetie, I love you very much. So how to embarrass your
youngest in two easy seconds? Today's going to be an
interesting day and we're going to get into some Flash Gordon
like energy. And what do I mean by that?
Well, Flash Gordon was a superhero, a lot like mini
superheroes. He was saving the universe, he
was saving the world. And we're all looking for a hero
like that. We want somebody come save the
day. And I think the No Kings protest
really embodied that Aquarian energy of, no, you're not going
to do it yourself. You got to bring people
together. I've talked a lot about Gandalf
in recent times, especially with patrons, and I was like, hey, we
got to do what Gandalf did. He didn't defeat Saron
one-on-one in a wizard duel. That's not what he did.
He brought people together collectively, some people who
didn't even like each other, whether it was the ants or the
dwarves or the the elves, etcetera.
The hobbits, like hobbits don't even like to adventure, OK, But
he got them all together, right? And not everybody participated
in that, right? It was the people who were going
to come into that coalition. That's the energy we've got
right now. Flash Gordon comes to mind.
Because I think like between Monday and Tuesday, there's
going to be some weird sci-fi like thing happen.
We could see like new weapons or somebody show up to be like a
almost like a superhero or, and it could even be like Elon Musk
trying to look cool. I don't know.
It's goofy. If you've seen the movie and if
you haven't, go look it up on YouTube.
It it was a strange film. It wasn't as strange as
Barbarella, but close. But anyway, it it's got that KP
70s early E sci-fi vibe to it, almost funny even though it's
very serious. But it's like it's so over the
top. And I think when we look at
where we're at, it does feel a lot like being in Running Man or
Blade Runner or any of those dystopian novels that those of
us who are Gen. Xers kind of grew up on.
And maybe if you're younger, you read them too or watch the
movies. It's bizarre where we're at.
And we're going to have the sense of surrealness to what's
going on. Like, did I just see that?
Did I just watch that? Did that just happen?
So here's how you get inspired in the midst of all of this.
OK, This is how you get inspired with it.
One, if it's that outrageous and it's that weird, why can't you
do what you want to do? Like I've said it for years, you
know, instead of complaining about MTG and Bobart and all
these other noodle brains and the Mike Johnson's of the world,
etcetera, instead of complaining about him, notice the bar is
low. Why can't you do that thing you
want to do? Why are you holding yourself to
arbitrarily high standards? Monday and Tuesday are great
days to have a breakthrough energy like breakthrough the
block, breakthrough the block. Just do it, do it, OK?
There's no reason to stay static right now.
We are in a very dynamic, changing environment.
Now things are going to get a little interesting because this
week we have Mars moving into Virgo and you'll think, oh, that
won't be as dramatic as Mars and Leo.
No, but it's going to be precise.
It's like a scalpel. It's like, it's like a brain
surgeon. It is precise and detailed and
we're all going to be seeing some very surgical movement
happening in the outer world. It's kind of nice that it's not
super messy, but it is petty because it'll bring up that
little thing, that little detail that you're most insecure about,
and it's unconscious even. It's just natural.
They'll be like, yeah, well, you've got a wrinkle right under
your left eye. OK, That little one.
No, I'm not the one you were thinking of.
That one. You're like, I have a new one
now. I'm not talking about you
personally. I'm talking about the
generalized transit. When I'm talking about you, it's
different, OK? Everybody takes everything
personally. We need to stop that.
Just step back from it. And if you're clutching your
pearls, let go. Just stop it.
I'm not very good at doing ear flips.
Oh, I was so good at it when I was right.
Maybe I need to do it from this side.
Let's try again. OK, If you're watching this on
YouTube or Spotify, OK. Nope, still bad at it.
I think once you're not a teenager anymore, the little
Unless you're flirting, because that's different.
I can do that. All right.
I know I'm being a goofball. I tend to get silly when things
are serious. So hold on here, cats, kids.
But in the amongst all this change energy and we are in
massive systemic change, we are able to rise above it.
You're not different than your great grandparents or your great
great grandparents or your grandparents, whoever was
dealing with things during Vietnam or World War 2 or World
War One or the Spanish American War or the Civil War or the War
of 1812. We've been in a lot of wars,
Okay? Are we in World War Three?
We kind of have been for quite a long time.
I know by what most people think of as World War three.
You're thinking, you know, global thermal nuclear war.
I don't see it coming there. And if you're a patron, remember
you get the 2025 year ahead and you get to watch that.
That's part of your perks. So go find it in your Patreon
goodies. That's in the collection.
I've decided in the patron only podcast, I'll do video
walkthroughs just every week, just to remind you, because I
keep putting the information out.
And then I look on exit interviews in the 2025 year
ahead. I talked about how we would look
like where we're heading into World War Three, the con, the
idea that, Oh my God, we're heading towards nuclear
Holocaust. And it may look like that as we
go through this month. Israel having preemptively
struck Iran, which is unleashing things in the whole of the Gulf.
And I'm sure there's a lot of shuttle diplomacy happening
right now as the rest of the region is like, holy shit, what?
Why are you guys doing this? We were trying to prevent it
because nobody wants to get bombed.
To my listeners in the Gulf Cooperation Council states in
the GCC, you need to be very, very careful this week.
Stay apprised. I don't know how much
information you guys are getting about what's going on from your
local news sources, but I will say be very alert this week.
I have a lot of family and loved ones in the Persian Gulf area in
the GCC countries. And so please stay safe.
And for those of you who know my daughter, she's not there.
So she's she's so far out of harm's way.
We'll see how the rest of the world goes this week, but for
now, she's in a safe spot, so that's good.
This is the longest we've ever spent a part as mother and
daughter in her whole life, and it feels really weird.
While the world is falling apart, I can tell you usually
I'm at least within a drive of, of being able to, to reassure
her. So it's crazy, I tell you.
So it's going to be a week where we need to take deep breaths.
It's interesting to see how people are finally realizing
that election got stolen. That's kind of funny.
I'm like, no shit, Sherlock, It's been a lot, but more
information is going to be coming out.
I told you Trump was not going to have a great birthday.
It was not a great birthday. We could all laugh a little bit
over that. And his health does not look
like it's doing well. Of course they're not going to
announce it, but keep watching him.
He ain't looking good. There's a lot of speculation.
I don't like to speculate too much.
I just look at him. I'm like, Yep, he's old.
He doesn't feel good. So there's that.
One of the things I talked about last week was keeping these
summer episodes a little bit shorter because you know,
everybody's out and about and doing their things.
One of the things I want to bring up is got a brand new
program, the summer program. It is the summer camp for
mindful adults. People who want to start a side
gig, build an aligned career for themselves or a soul centered
career for themselves. People who are get wanting to
get professional development, if they're readers, counselors,
psychologists, astrologers, anybody who deals with people
getting client management tools and skills, how to start and end
a session, how to charge your value.
This thing in the big package, the big bundle, you get the
whole enchilada. It's super fun.
You get healing the money wound. How to find your side gig using
astrology, which even though we're talking about side gigs,
it's still a way to open up revenue streams.
If you already have a business, you also get authentic content
creation. And this is going to be how to
make content that people are interested in online.
Because one of the mistakes most people make when they're making
content, they might be really educated, they might be really
skilled, they might really know what they're talking about and
they don't know how to get people's attention.
They're like, well, I don't want to do trends because you think
you're going to lose your street cred and you don't, OK, You
don't. And so a lot of times people
don't have the skill set to make the content other than thinking
of being a presenter, OK. And so in that workshop, I'm
going to work with you guys on how to be more authentic on
camera. And you'd be like, well, I'm
authentically boring, Laurie, why would you want to change
that? Then I wouldn't be authentic
anymore. Be like, no, no, there's
performance skills and you still manage to have your message be
aligned. Other things that happen in this
summer camp because it's the three weeks in July on the
second week on through the end of July.
We are doing healing the money when find your psychic authentic
content creation professional development courses that says 8
hours. Oh and marketing magic marketing
magic how using your natural abilities, you're going to need
your astrology chart. You need to have your time.

astrology.com. I already sent out the discount

That's the mystery school and up I'm going to.
I should have already gotten it out before I drop this podcast,

That way we get it. Will there be a self-paced
option eventually? So hold tight, hold tight, hold
tight. All right, what else are we
going to talk about on the podcast today?
I'm going to go through what's in the headlines.
OK, I'm going to go through what's in the headlines.
Of course, we're going to thank our patrons because without

Been doing deep dives with the magazine tier.
That's the horoscopes and the predictions tier.
I put the recording out to everybody and it was kind of an
accident. I actually spent many hours
editing clips to put out to the other tiers and I hit the wrong
button. So everybody got it.
I don't believe there's an accident.
I think the universe was like, I didn't want to put it out
because I cried. I was like, oh shit, why?
But I'll get to hear my cancerian self be mushy and
tender in that. So those of you who know me now.
But anyway, it was super funny. Well, it wasn't funny.
It was sad but and also relieved.
So some things I think that are going to come up this week.
I think we're going to have more really big storms.
Mars exiting Leo is going to do it with a bang.
It's doing it tonight, June 16th with the moon in opposition.
So it's a big bada boom. It could be a power outage,
satellite failure, and I think we will see definitely more
bombing in the Middle East. And it's the rhetoric's going to
continue to be interesting. So there's that.
It's not a great day for Trump. Monday night is not a great
night for Trump. We may not hear about it, but
he's his health is going to continue to deteriorate.
It's absolutely going to deteriorate.
I want to encourage you all to continue getting a hold of your
senators to make sure that they don't pass that big beautiful
bill. Because it's big, all right, But
it's bloated and it's, well, it's boorish, so it's unrefined
and it ain't pretty. So there's that.
All righty. I keep knocking my table and
then you'll see my camera shave, but that's okay.
All right, so let's do some patron shout outs.
Then I'll do what's in the headlines and then we'll talk
about the summer solstice because we've got our solstice
party coming up and that is an all patron event and we'll talk
about what you can do to make it a really fun adventure.
If you can't come, that's fine. It's going to be recorded.
And when I say all patron event, I mean free as well as paid.
So stay tuned for that link up in the Patreon, but I'll give
some hints and tips for everybody listening.
I know not everybody can be a patron, and that's fine.
I think a lot of people don't understand what Patreon is
either. So I'm going to talk about that
coming up next, just so you know what it is.
OK, All right, all right, let's do Patreon shout outs.
All right, without patrons, there's no podcast.
So let's talk about what patrons are.
A patrons traditionally, if you go back to like the Renaissance
artists had a patron, right? There were people who loved
their work and supported their work in the world.
And in exchange, they would get artwork or music or commissions.
And you guys who are patrons sponsor the podcast and what I
do on TikTok. And I want to thank you all for
that. And yes, I am back on TikTok
because in order to for my message to get out there, we do
have to market it. And I've actually been
pleasantly surprised by the reception on TikTok.
But I think enough time has gone by that people realize that, you
know, that was shenanigans, but you've not been hated on by the
Internet until there is an actual search that says
astrologer Laurie lied. Yeah, people said she lied.
We're far enough into the podcast.
To anybody watching this who said I lied, sit on it, spin on
it. I didn't lie.
I always said it was murky. She had the better transits.
I was worried about her physicality.
All I saw for him was making money, which, What do you think
he's doing? You think he's leading things?
No, they can't even give him a good parade.
Also, to those who sent me nasty messages, please apologize so I
know who to block if I haven't already blocked you.
But anyway, that would not be any of my patrons.
My patrons have stuck with me through thick and thin.
But if you are somebody who was a patron and you said mean
things and please also please apologize in the comments so I
can take care of that. All righty.
No, I'm not a very forgiving person because I come to you and
I give you information and good faith.
So some people would say don't talk about it like that way.
Lori, be the bigger person. I I don't go high when people go
low. I don't I don't think we have to
be to be spiritual people. I think holding people
accountable for saying horrendous things is is a
boundary that would be good to exemplify, especially as a
woman. But anyway, I digress.
People are like, she's so resentful and better.
Yep, takes one to no one. All righty.

All right, coming up next, what's in the headlines?
And then we're going to talk about the summer solstice, what
it means for you, and what you can do to make the most out of
that energy. All right, we're doing what's in
the headlines. What can we expect in the
headlines? This portion is sponsored by the
magazine subscribers. You can find that in the deep
dive and horoscope tier in the Patreon.
It's gonna be a little nuts. We have interesting events
happening on the the moon starts out in Aquarius and then it's
moves into Pisces. So if you listen to last week, I
talked, I ended with this page with the moon in Aquarius and is
bringing its teaser and it knows how to use it.
I think we could see some electrical issues as we move
through the 16th before it's before that moon moves into
Pisces in the afternoon. And I'm talking West Coast time.
Even though I've moved off the coast, I still use Pacific Time
and not eastern because I grew up on the West Coast and I was
always tired of having to do the time zone conversion.
And so it's the East Coast turn to do time zone conversion.
So I do use Pacific Time. I, I think we're going to see
some massive storms, big electrical storms, tornadoes,
hail, etcetera. In the first part of the day.
We could definitely see something happen with U.S.
military bases globally. There could be a loss.
There could be an attack and this could come from Iran.
It could be a stray missile from Israel.
Israel's trying to get the United States to participate in
this and there might be something happen that forces the
United States hand. I don't believe everything you
hear on the news. We could see a an explosion in
DC with this yesterday and went OK, but of course they had a lot
of security. We could see missile launches,
more bombs and attacks. We could see we did.
We did see public violence and protesters attack, but it wasn't
as bad as it could have been. Monday is probably also a day we
may see a big earthquake. This could most likely be in
Asia, but it could also happen in South America off the coast
of that West Coast on the Ring of Fire.
So keep your eyes out with that. All right, with the moon moving
into Pisces in the afternoon of the 16th, we can see
record-breaking waves in areas that have surfing.
OK, because the moon and Pisces has everyone talking and no one
is listening. It's like splashing in a pool.
We can see in the headlines information to do with
pharmacies, drugs and medicine that would not discount a
Medicare, communications disruptions, Navy clashes,
issues with submarines, loss of a ship or a sub or accident with
Navy. We could see toxic waste,
radiation and nuclear power discussed in the headlines, a
potential terrorist attack, vehicular violence or the use of
drones. This could be anywhere in the
world. Increase in the use of bombs,
missiles and expansion of war. In any current conflict, things
are not going to calm down between Israel and Iran.
We could see big weather in the southeast United States,
especially in the Gulf Coast. 617 could see a very, very big
earthquake or big storm with large waves, high winds and big
storm surges. Could also be a big solar storm.
Issues with religion versus state.
We could see a strain between leaders or accusations made
against a religious leader or made against a politician about
separation of church and state. I think JD Vance and Donald
Trump both will be under pressure in different ways.
And I think also Elon Musk and Peter Thiel will be up on deck
in the news as well in some way, shape or form.
Breakthroughs in treatments. We could see also a mass
casualty event. This could be a stabbing, a
shooting, a bombing, a terrorist attack.
Could that happen in US soil? I keep getting asked about that
and the answer is yes and no. I do not have an idea of when or
how that could happen, but in this two day time period.
So if you're going to be in a crowded area, a landmark area,
and no, not Yellowstone National Park, not Yosemite, it's not
going to be one of those places. It's going to be something like
DC. So keep your eyes out for that.
It could also be something like New York, Houston, you know, LA
have some stuff. Go on.
Speaking of, we're going to see that a judge doesn't necessarily
A judge does not necessarily take his side.
That 9th Circuit Court may rule against him.
We can see issues with oil spills, oil platforms, or issues
with natural gas or other kinds of Petro chemicals, including
gas stations, depots and refineries.
We could see an oil tank or a big Navy ship has an accident or
a truck carrying volatile load has an accident.
Now, I'm not reading everything off these pages.
You can find these in the Mini mag post because the quarterly
magazine will come out soon. If you're a subscriber, you'll
get that a June 18th through the truce with the moon in Aries.
It's just so spicy, so hot. So fire.
We will see big fires. This could be arson or from acts
of war or sabotage. This is global air inversions,
extreme heat indexes and big storm fronts.
Again, global. OK, and the southern hemisphere.
You could see fires started because of faulty wiring and
cold temperatures. We can see terrorist attack that
impacts a nation and like a big one.
OK, so this could be a historic event.
This could happen anywhere in the world.
Elon Musk in crisis, Health or faces a legal challenge.
Trump faces a challenge to authority or a health crisis.
Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Turkey increase in
attacks or tensions, volcanic eruption or firestorm.
Issues with lava flow or lahars. We could see mass violence in a
public venue. We could see issues with road
rage. Road rage or big accidents on
major freeways or international borders.
Poland, Balkans, Moldova dealing with, and this could be anywhere
like Belarus, Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, anywhere in that
region. I know you're all different
countries, but Eastern Europe, OK, And that includes Ukraine.
We can see issues with border security and potential sabotage
or terrorist attacks, attacks. We can see a forest fire or fire
on public lands internationally, international organizations
under strain or face crisis and NATO, et cetera, issues in the
Red Sea, Persian Gulf, Indian Ocean, Straits of Taiwan or
South Pacific. Piracy, war games or big
weather. We can see death of a prominent
celebrity, politician or person of note.
Increase in geothermal activity. That's like geysers.
Leaders of all forms face opposition.
Potential assassination or deposing of leaders.
CEO or world leader faces health crisis.
This could come from arterial strokes or and or head injuries.
Again, I haven't read absolutely everything on that page.
You can find it in the mini Meg in the patron.
We wind up the week we with the moon in Taurus and that is June
21st through the 23rd. So the 20th is the solstice and
I'll talk about that in the next segment on how you can use that
energy. But the 21st, the 21st is the
2020 sixth year ahead. And I'd invite you to join me,
but it appears we're sold out. So thanks to patrons, the moon
in Taurus is charging at full speed.
So imagine a really angry bull. It's head is down.
We could see escalation in Ukraine or Russia, big big
explosions or mass casualty event.
Explosion at port, food processing plant or major
accident with toxic waste that could be a train or a truck.
Issues with crops, supply chains, wheat, grains of all
kinds. Now issues could be good issues
doesn't all have to be bad. We might hear about a grain
shortage or positive shortage, but we might also care about how
people are creating solutions around food.
Computer systems crash or there could be a very big crisis in
tech. A world leader or person of note
has an accident or a health crisis, Mutiny, rebellion, coups
or political upheaval, violence. We could hear about that in all
different places. Livestock or livestock
regulation, farming and supply chains are up in the news again.
It's not all going to be bad. We could see a big accident or
explosion or fire or more than one incident worldwide.
That is more likely towards the late 22nd into the 23rd.
We could see big erosion events, landslides, mudslides,
sinkholes, levee brand breaches, dike failures and dam breaches.
Power outages, network outages, could be a system failure or
issues with solar flares or geomagnetic storms.
We could see a maritime incident or accident or issues with naval
bases. Keep your eye on the Middle
East, the Persian Gulf, and Asia.
Big market dip or issue in the housing market.
Could see crypto dip as well. Huge weather issues, lightning,
hail, hurricanes, tornadoes, sandstorms, and torrential rain
or flooding. Issues with payment gateways and
currencies. I just said crypto.
So retail giant under pressure or strain.
Authority figures and leaders challenge.
I have a lot of leadership being challenged over the next week.
So it'll be very interesting to see where and how that happens.
Don't get your hopes up. It could be Trump, but it could
be other people. Public health insurance,
Medicare, Medicaid, hospital systems.
It's global. Keep your eye.
If you want to stay abreast of viruses etcetera, you're going
to have to look for overseas information.
Public outcry over policies and government rules, shortage of
cleaning products and cleaning supplies makes the news.
Maybe like people are not able to find vinegar or something, I
don't know. So that is our week this week.
There's a lot happening. There's a lot happening this
week and it doesn't necessarily mean that it's all going to
happen to you or it's going to happen in your area, just means
it's going to that these things are up on deck.
What kind of good news can there be?
In fact, when I'm working on my 2026 year ahead slides and I'm
trying to look for some rays of sunshine and things to look
forward to as much as the things I'm trying to give a heads up
about. But when I say issues, I just
mean it's serious enough or it's interesting enough that it's
newsworthy and it's in the headlines.
So it could be good things. It doesn't have to be everybody
goes that's bad. It's not always bad.
Sometimes it's good. And sometimes a crisis is what
we need to move us forward. We will probably see more
political violence in the United States, OK?
Just that's the trajectory we're on.
Where the hope is and where the inspiration is is it's coming
from the people themselves. 11 million people showed up to
protest, 11 million people. OK, That is freaking
outstanding. That's amazed.
Balls on one of the biggest protests in U.S. history.
And it was peaceful other than with rare incidents.
And that's probably provocateurs, you know, And of
course, we had some unfortunate violence towards protesters.
That happens. It's going to happen.
You know, always use caution when you're walking into large
public spaces, especially this summer.
You don't have to stay home. You don't need to be paralyzed
with fear. It's about using common sense,
staying aware, and being as prepared as you can be.
You know, we're not always going to be prepared for everything,
but this, this should help. All right, so again, I'll do a
deep dive this week. I do a deep dive every week
about what's on the way. And then I do the patron only
podcast too. So if you're a patron, you know,
stay tuned, we'll talk about it. We'll talk about what I see
coming up and how you can move through it.
Next week we're going to be talking about that new moon in
Cancer because it's kind of the bright shiny light.
It's very magical. It is kind of the opposite of
everything we've been going through.
That new moon is conjunct Jupiter and it helps us start
off 2026 in a really strong way. If we do things intentionally.
So I'll talk about that on next week's podcast.
Right now, we're going to move along and talk about the
solstice. Let's talk about something
pleasant for a change. Let's talk about the summer
solstice. And that is the longest day of
the year, the shortest night. Now, we do start losing daylight
after the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.
By the way, if you're in the Southern Hemisphere, it is the
longest night in the shortest day because you're having the
winter solstice. And I try not to be
hemisphericist because we have listeners from all over the
world. So regardless of the solstice
that you're experiencing, this is always an important day of
the year for us as human beings. We've been paying attention to
this as a marker of time, as a change in energy, and it is just
a very good time to be mindful about how we want to take the
next steps. OK, so we look at our year as a
365 day, 12 month year. It's arbitrary.
That's just how we've decided to divide it up.
Sometimes people have 13 months and a lunar calendar.
Neither one is wrong, neither one is right.
There's a lot of arguments online and conspiracy theories,
and it's not time is arbitrary. Time is what we decided is that
time can take many different shapes.
There's psychological time, you know, so if you're really bored,
15 minutes can be like an hour. But have you ever had one of
those days that's just so busy and you start at 5:00 AM and
you're running till 11:00 PM and you're like, where'd the day go?
I just started, right? That's psychological time.
There's, there's geological time and that takes for freaking
ever. So time itself is kind of
arbitrary, all right? The time we're talking about for
the purpose of this conversation, don't argue with
me, please. I have no patience.
Left is 12 months. All right, So every six months
we have a solstice. So looking at this solstice, our
solstice happens on June 20th this year.
Sometimes it's on the 20th, sometimes it's on the 21st.
And on the 20th, by the way, patrons are going to meet up
both free and paid, and we're going to do one of my favorite
activities and that's make a vision board.
OK. I know people like to do it
digitally because I like it to look perfect, but frankly, I
think that defeats the purpose. I love tech, I love digital
creation, but I'm going to tell you it's better for your, your
neurology better for your brain to do it physically.
It doesn't have to be perfect. In fact, you need to let that
shit go. Perfect is is silly.
No one's going to be I'm a perfectionist now you're self
sabotaging because you're never going to meet your standards.
OK, let it go. Just slap some shit on a piece
of paper that is meaningful to you.
My God, I'm queer. Less today.
I'll go through this in more depth with Petrons, but yeah,
let me. We'll take a look.
This is a really powerful moment in time as we go to this.
I'm on weeks. If you've ever had a reading
with me, you know that. Oops.
I'm on weeks. I got to change it to days.
But yeah, so in fact, on the so around 8:17 PM Pacific, that's
1117, and it's actually a little bit before that, but the sun
will ingress into Cancer and that's the summer solstice in
the Northern Hemisphere. It's the winter solstice in the
Southern Hemisphere. It's right next to Jupiter in
Cancer and it is making a square.
With Saturn and Neptune. So in fact, Jupiter is in a
strong square with Neptune. So what can you do about this?
That sounds kind of scary, doesn't it?
Doesn't it? Doesn't it?
But the really cool thing is the moon will be in Taurus just at
the 0° mark, and it's making a sextile.
It's making a sextile to the Sun and Jupiter.
This is this energy is like the best, and I mean the best for
letting go of the blocks in your way of creating a more abundant
and satisfying lifestyle. But you got to be a chaos goblin
for this. You got to be.
You got to be a flying sea monkey.
Yeah, got to be somebody who can let go of how the world is
supposed to be. I'm looking for my gene job.
And if I go to this school and I take this job, then I will have
success. Let that shit go because that
ain't going to work. You've got to be like, I've got
these skills, this talent, this ability, and and instead of
going like, well, I don't want to be seen, I don't want, I
don't want to be like those guys.
Nobody's got going to want what I have to say.
Stop being a Debbie Downer for fuck's sake.
Or you know, and and honestly, that's ego.
It's ego. I'm just I can feel cancer
season coming and I'm a kids Syrian and I'm going to Mama the
fuck out of you and mom still go.
Oh, have some cocoa and let's talk about her feelings while
you're wasting your life. Mom say you deserve better and I
can see the talent in you and I want you to achieve what you
can. Doesn't mean you have to.
You don't have to be a billionaire.
You don't have to be an asshole unless that's what you want to
be and then do it really well. Welcome to my pep talks with my
children. So this is about breaking
through. It's about breaking through your
social cultural programming. This is about really looking at
what really makes you feel secure, not just what you think
you can get, not what you think other people want out of you,
and, and busting through not just societal and cultural
limitations, but the damn things you've imposed on yourself.
OK, we all do it. I did it.
OK. I was just talking with my son
and I and I was like, dude, dude, I disenfranchise myself a
lot. I disenfranchised myself when I
was young and that was stupid. And I taught you some things
that were my values back then that aren't helpful.
I was wrong because I was a stick it to the main kind of
guy. I didn't like the banks.
I didn't like credit card company.
I still don't. I didn't like the way this world
worked and I wasn't going to contribute to it.
I was, I was well in my ego, virtue signaling all over the
place. This is when my kids were
little. So it's a long time ago.
It's more than 20 years ago. Obviously I taught them well.
So I have to go there and be like, whoa, OK, let's rewind.
That was dumb. And I was young and I thought I
was doing a thing, and it was stupid.
You need to breakthrough the barriers you've created for
yourself. And maybe you're older.
See, we're really good at doing this.
We're really good at creating barriers for ourselves, OK?
And we, we can get mad at the Trumpty Dumpty all we want, but
there's some things he does right.
And I'm not talking politically. I'm not talking about business
before himself. He does, right?
If you want to manifest stuff, you need to have an unwavering
belief in yourself. We all think he sounds like an
egotistical jerk. I'm the best, I'm the brightest.
This is the bigliest, this is the greatest, this is the most
wonderful, I'm the most wonderful, blah, blah, blah.
That's a mental focus, OK? And we disagree with him about
himself, right? But it's something he does very,
very well and people go, why does he get away with
everything? That's why.
That's why his mindset, that's why.
Notice he'll be like, I don't care what they have to say.
I'm doing this. OK, Now you don't have to be
like him to use that same technique to your advantage.
You can say I am beloved. I am loved by the universe.
The universe thinks I am amazing.
I have amazing skills I'm really, really good at.
And then say things that you know are true.
So I have a beautiful voice. I know it's well trained.
I know how to use my voice. I know people love my voice.
People like to feel soothed by me.
And my voice is energy expressed of of me and people feel
comfortable and safe around me. That's something I can say with
100% surety. OK, Enough people TuneIn to go
to sleep and that's fine. That's fine.
I feel honored that you feel soothed, right?
I can say those things. I know I'm spooky accurate.
I can. People can kiss my accuracy.
Just wait. It's coming and I'll bring it
back. I'm a very good astrologer.
I'm one of the best in the world, and that's not ego.
I just know how good I am, OK? I help a lot of people.
I'm a really good business advisor and strategist or coach,
and I've helped a lot of people do better than they expected.
I've helped a lot of moms buy shoes for their kids that would
when they were struggling. I've helped a lot of people find
the confidence to step out and do things outside of their
comfort zone. Those are all things I can say.
OK, so let's work on you. This is something we're going to
do in our summer solstice party, so free or paid.
So if you want to join us on Friday, I want, I want to give
people kind of a shot to be home for it.
Again, we'll record it. But some of the stuff that I
think you might enjoy doing is really taking a look at your
real strengths. You know, cancer is about start
to finish energy. All right, We think of it as
motherhood. But what happens in motherhood?
Egg allows sperm to fertilize it.
And that's a scientific fact. The sperm does not breakthrough
the barriers. The the egg decides who gets to
fertilize. And then it incubates for some
time and the fetus becomes more and more human appearing until
it is burst and takes its first breath when it has viability.
OK. And then and then doesn't mean
it doesn't get help in an incubator or something, but
breathing makes you viable, OK? If you can't breathe, you're not
viable. So it's project management.
And then you have to keep that little sucker alive until
they're grown and sometimes well after.
And that's project management. From idea conception to
completion is cancer energy. So the solstice always marks the
beginning of cancer season. We are now stepping into project
management, all getting all these things started and raised
and nurtured up. In order to do that, you need to
be able to let go of self-imposed restrictions.
OK. It's kind of like wanting to get
pregnant while taking birth control.
It doesn't. You know, some people get lucky
with that, but most people don't.
All right, So it's important if you have a project you want to
start, if there's a, if you want to level up in life, OK.
Just because the world looks like it's falling apart doesn't
mean you can't create stability for yourself, all right?
It's just if you lean into how the old stuff gets done, my
dream job, the dream school, the blah, blah, blah.
That's attachment. What does comfortable look like
for you? What skills do you have that can
move you forward? And I would look at a bunch of
scenarios like, I know if the power goes out, the Internet
goes out. I'm a hell of a good cook.
I will, I will always find some kind of work, you know, or at
the very least I'm good at gardening.
I could stay with my mom and dad forever.
Everything's taken care of and I'm willing.
I'm willing to do what I need to do physically, whether it's make
things. I'm a good hand spinner.
I can make urine for people. I have a lot of fiber.
I have crafting supplies. I can do a lot of things.
I know what my skills are. And I do think about those
things like what if this happened?
How would I function? What if this happened?
What would I do? I don't do it as I'm like, Oh
no, what would happen? I'm like, I play a little like,
what's the best case scenario? What's the worst case scenario?
What would I do if I was really successful at this thing?
And what would I do if I was here and well, what if the
bottom fell out? What would I do then?
Because then I'm always ready to take action.
You know, it's a good, it's a good pretend game, right?
But you got to know yourself. You got to know your skills.
Now, if you're just getting the start of life, if you're a
teenager, if you're in your early 20s, you are still good at
things. Like I could crochet at 18,
right? I learned as a little kid I was
already really good at cooking, you know?
So like in college, I had a deal.
I was like Snow White with the Seven dwarfs, only I had like
500 of them. But if if people bought food, if
they bought the groceries, I'd cook because I didn't have a lot
of money. So I'd be like, you like my
cooking. Well, if you buy the groceries,
I'll cook. I ate very, very well There's
and I didn't have two qualms about it, you know, like, oh,
are we going to have dessert? Are we?
Well, I guess I will get on that.
Get me the good chocolate or it doesn't happen.
Having confidence in your skills and not going, oh, well, I can
only use a nose whistle and then I'm not going to be very good
with a nose whistle or a nose flute.
I mean, nobody cares. Yes they do.
There are people who care. There are people who do shadow
puppets right and entertain people.
There's people who are good at doing face painting, there's
people who are good at underwater basket weaving.
There are people who are good at planting potatoes.
It doesn't matter what you do as long as you recognize your
skills, talents and abilities. That's what I'm trying to tell
you. With this energy, you want to
lean into that. The next thing you want to do is
really dig in deep to what skills you want to cultivate.
So like, I'm good at this, but, and I'd like to be good at this
thing, OK? I know I'm good at learning.
I need a minute for it to stick. It takes a little bit of
repetition and I want to learn these things.
I want to get started with my own business.
Not sure where to start first. OK, that's one thing, but what
if you write it a different way? I'm not sure where to start
first. So I'm going to pick a direction
and start there. OK, just even saying that to
your brain, I'm going to pick something.
You might see an article, there might be something show up on
TikTok or, or you might see the announcement for my summer
workshops. And you might not be able to
take any, all of them, but you might find one that works for
you. OK, All right.
It's OK to lean in to who you are at a core level and build
from there. OK, You need to tend yourself.
You cannot keep looking out at everybody else.
Like if other people are who you're looking to, to validate
you, to agree with you, to shine a light on you, you're going to
be miserable. You need to validate yourself.
You need to tend yourself, you need to tend your vision.
If you can't do you authentically and you are
constantly seeking external validation, you cannot be in
community with other people because you're always going to
be in drama. Period.
OK, There is so much good stuff coming with this new Moon and it
helps start you off on the right foot in 2026.
So I'm going to just take a look at my computer here.
Oops. Because you know, you're going
to have Mars sextile Jupiter here.
That's huge. The detail planning that you do
now through creative means, you've got to be like super,
super connected to yourself. OK, the Mars and the Moon will
be in a trying. This is perfect future planning.
So the full Moon culminates on January 3rd, 2026.
So everything you're setting into motion now starts gearing
up. Now what's interesting, we'll
have Mars and Capricorn in opposition to Jupiter and
Cancer, which is at 21 degrees. So the Moon at 12° isn't
connected to Jupiter yet, but the Moon is in opposition to
Venus conjunct the Sun conjunct Mars.
This is a powerful way to start off the year, a very powerful
way. It's so, so, so important for
you now, this will be at the early hours of the morning on
January 3rd. Yeah, there's big world events.
I'm not going to lie. There's some some interesting
things going on there. But for you personally, this is
realizing an important vision. And I'm not talking about you
winning a major award or getting the Nobel Peace Prize or getting
the record label deal or having a viral TikTok video or whatever
you think is more important than being just emotionally stable,
emotionally comfortable, reasonably satisfied, feeling
secure inside of yourself, feeling the, the sense of
satisfaction of having enough. You feel good.
You have the relationships you want to have with people.
You know, you're not missing out on much and you feel just, you
feel just enough discomfort to strive for something else.
You know, so you don't get bored with life.
There's nothing wrong with that. This is really, really powerful
energy. And you're going to see the the
result in January of 2026 by being super deliberate, super on
purpose, super intentional with this Cancer new moon.
It's very powerful. And like I've been saying, you
can't be in community. You can't be like, well, I don't
want to get more than my fair share because then I won't be
able, you know, so and so won't be able to have some.
No, that's not true. There's enough for everybody and
maybe you're how that person gets access to something.
Maybe maybe you're entrepreneurial and you have a
friend who's really talented, but they're not entrepreneurial
and you give them an an opportunity to shine and
showcase their talents. There are so many ways.
Maybe you're the person who gets to shine and you make an
alliance with somebody who who is more entrepreneurial, but
maybe they need a grounding or anchor buddy.
You know, somebody who can keep them their feet on the floor.
There's enough for everybody. Don't you let guilt get in your
way, that's ego. Don't let perfectionism get in
your way, that's ego. Don't let needing virtue and be
virtuous and seen as virtuous. That's ego.
One of the greatest shadows you can ever have is the need to be
seen as virtuous. OK, Oh, I don't do that.
I'm not like those bad people ego.
We all do it. But if you want to get the most
out of this energy, I want you to write stuff down super
ballsy. And if you want to help with it,
make sure you join the Patreon and show up and see me on Friday
night this week, Friday, June 20th, 7:00 PM Pacific.
You know why it's so solstice. It's staying light out.
And then on Saturday is the 2020 sixth year ahead.
And that's happening around I think about noon 301130 Pacific
because I think it's noon 30 my time and I'm in mountain.
But and I'd love to invite you, but there's no more room for
this version. I'll have to do what we sold
out. So I'm going to have to do a
webinar version of it in November, December at the end of
this year to do the follow up. My 20 year has I do just kind of
without context, I'm just looking at the astrology and I
give my best analysis and then we just kind of touch it up a
little bit as we get closer to the beginning of the new year.
This. I do this just to show my
accuracy so I look forward to seeing those of you who
registered. How exciting.
And no, it is not a patron perk until I put out the recording of
the previous year. Mid year, usually sometime
around April or May because it's been hot and up around then.
Sometimes I put it out in June as as perk of being a patron
depends on the year. So I'll let you know about 2026
later on. I hope to see you there.
I want to thank you all for listening and if you're
listening on YouTube, be sure to put a comment in to think of
patron. If you're on Spotify, same
thing. Thanks the patrons because
without the patrons, this show doesn't exist.
I if you have any questions, let me know in the comments as well.
I'm Lori Rivers, I want to thank you for being part of our
listening audience. If you're a patron, thank you
for helping me in my calling and put my work out in the world.
I appreciate all of you very, very much.
If you're a patron, stay tuned for the Patron Only podcast,
where I'm going to go through everything we kind of talked
about today, but in a lot more depth and giving you some
journaling prompts to get ready for that solstice party.
