1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,240
It's the Awake Space Astrology 
podcast. 

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,200
I'm your host, Lori Rivers, and 
I am here to give you some 

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,080
inspiration to get those 
aspirations out into the world 

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,400
and inspired. 
Hopefully you shall be with the 

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,880
Leo New Moon happening on July 
24th, going to be talking about 

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,040
that today, changing up the 
format in the podcast. 

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,520
I do that from time to time as 
we grow, as we adjust. 

8
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,960
And so we're going to keep the 
episodes a little shorter and 

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,720
we're going to put the meat 
potatoes in the patron only pod 

10
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,840
that's available to all 
supporting patrons at the $5 

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,160
level and up. 
Why? 

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,720
Why not? 
We're going to do it because, 

13
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,120
you know, I think here on 
Spotify or YouTube, people are 

14
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:47,720
looking for kind of a quick jump
in maximum 20-30 minutes and 

15
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,760
we're going to try that out. 
So grab your coffee, get your 

16
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,640
tea, get your matcha, get your 
hot cocoa because Southern 

17
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,800
hemisphere, I think you're going
to be cold, cold, cold with this

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,800
Leo New moon. 
Get your Uggs and your Snuggies 

19
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,680
and your hoodies wherever you 
are down under. 

20
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:15,680
I told you this summer would be 
wild and crazy and it's Mercury 

21
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,840
retrograde. 
I think we already saw a few 

22
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:22,480
things like Coldplay. 
Oh, that's a fun one. 

23
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,880
It perfectly illustrates the 
energy of that new moon in Leo 

24
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:31,400
coming up on the 24th of July. 
If you want to know the house by

25
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,520
house rundown, I'm doing that in
Patreon, in the Patreon only 

26
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,240
podcast. 
You can check that out. 

27
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,720
And what I can really tell you, 
and I talked a little bit about 

28
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,640
it on TikTok already and in my 
Patreon chat, I talked a lot 

29
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:50,200
about this is about releasing 
the control of the ego. 

30
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,640
Notice I didn't say kill the 
ego. 

31
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,440
You don't want to kill it. 
That's a misinterpretation of 

32
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,360
Buddhist texts. 
They, they don't say kill it, 

33
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,120
they say tame it. 
And ego death is a lovely 

34
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,880
dramatic phrase. 
And with this new moon in Lego, 

35
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,520
and we'll probably hear it a 
lot. 

36
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,199
I'm in my ego death. 
It can't be dramatic, having 

37
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,480
been through a few of those and 
a few dark nights of the soul. 

38
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:19,960
But what ego is, is the will to 
survive, you know? 

39
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,840
So when we're in survival mode, 
we are in our ego. 

40
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,600
When we are doing self-defense, 
we're in our ego. 

41
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,360
And when we're pointing out that
other people are in their ego, 

42
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,200
we're in our ego. 
Because as long as we're looking

43
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,880
outside of ourselves and we're 
not looking within, then we're 

44
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,280
in our ego because it's so much 
easier to protect ourselves. 

45
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,440
Blaming everybody else that that
that's an ego driven thing. 

46
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,160
Ego doesn't mean egotistical. 
It doesn't mean showing up for 

47
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,640
yourself. 
It doesn't mean you don't 

48
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:55,320
advocate for yourself. 
In fact, having a healthy ego is

49
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,040
a good thing. 
We are vulnerable beings in a 

50
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,880
physical body and if we're not 
learning how to use our ego 

51
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,640
well, then we don't survive very
well. 

52
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,880
But I like to go a little bit 
beyond survival and I like to 

53
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,480
thrive. 
Thriving is so much better. 

54
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,960
Having done both, I I prefer the
thriving. 

55
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,760
So how do you thrive with this 
new moon? 

56
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,880
Well, that's what it's about. 
This New moon is at 2° of Leo. 

57
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,080
It is in opposition to Pluto and
Aquarius, which is retrograde. 

58
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:31,600
And we it still packs a wall up.
OK, Mercury is retrograde. 

59
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,080
So we're all going to be given a
chance to assess, re evaluate 

60
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:43,760
and uncover ways we are in our 
own way, in our ego. 

61
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:50,560
And that can mean being overly 
attached to the idea of imposter

62
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:56,520
syndrome, overly attached to 
being seen as virtuous or a good

63
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,640
person. 
You know, the good girl trope or

64
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,600
a nice guy trope. 
I don't do those horrible 

65
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,400
things. 
Look at me, I'm good. 

66
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,960
I think we all do that from time
to time, but that's something to

67
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,840
release and looking at where our
social and cultural conditioning

68
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,160
is maybe forcing us to 
compromise a little too much, 

69
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:21,680
forcing us to dim our light and 
in in our efforts to help other 

70
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,520
people shine, that that's rude. 
It's rude. 

71
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,320
We're not being as nice as we 
think we're being because we 

72
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,840
don't have the trust in the 
people that we're with for them 

73
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,880
to stand up in their own light. 
You don't have to diminish your 

74
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,800
light to help somebody else get 
going. 

75
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:46,400
So that's what this new moon 
energy is bringing. 

76
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,840
And who's it affecting? 
Absolutely everybody. 

77
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,400
You have all 12 signs in your 
chart. 

78
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,880
Whether you have a placement in 
the house that has Leo or not, 

79
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:04,960
this moon is impacting everyone.
And yes, you can manifest on 

80
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,560
this moon. 
I think people really don't 

81
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,320
understand what manifest means. 
And I'm going to go through it 

82
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:16,360
again for the 633rd time. 
Manifest means to reveal the 

83
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,920
revealing happens on a full 
moon, the planting of the seed, 

84
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,560
the intention is planted on the 
new moon. 

85
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,160
And let me tell you this, this 
new moon is powerful. 

86
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:34,440
It is a great way to deconstruct
our attitudes to anything that 

87
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,440
hold us back. 
So if you don't think you're 

88
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:43,800
worthy, if you are risk 
avoidant, if you are working on 

89
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,080
your different attachments 
right, you're not stuck. 

90
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,680
These labels feel like a relief 
when you find out that you're 

91
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,480
not crazy and it's not just you 
and there's other people who do 

92
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,280
it too, it is a relief. 
But that's about as far as that 

93
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:01,080
label should go. 
If you are allowing the labels 

94
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,440
to define yourself, you're 
missing out. 

95
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:09,640
We can work with ourselves 
without shutting down ourselves.

96
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,800
OK. 
There's a lot of people make a 

97
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:18,200
lot of money because they ping 
your pain and they say, hey ADH 

98
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,960
dear, I know you can't 
concentrate. 

99
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,640
So here's here's the bad news 
that you get to keep believing 

100
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,760
you. 
You may not have a hyper focus. 

101
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,920
Maybe you do, but maybe you 
don't. 

102
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,080
There's there's tools for that. 
I went through them in my summer

103
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,520
school with people. 
There's tools we can use. 

104
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:40,720
Does not make you deficient to 
put an alarm on your phone. 

105
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,040
In fact, if it's an efficiency 
tool that may help you get ahead

106
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,400
OK. 
Also, we input so much 

107
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,800
information every single day, 
how the hell are you supposed to

108
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,400
remember all of it? 
Says the post Menopausal woman. 

109
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,880
If you can remember your own 
name, you're doing good. 

110
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:04,480
You can mostly figure out what 
day it is. 

111
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,600
I think you're ahead of the 
game, especially with this 

112
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,320
Mercury retrograde. 
So to set your intentions #1 

113
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,200
there's never a bad new moon. 
There's never a bad new moon. 

114
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,240
Say it with me. 
Not even an eclipse, unless it's

115
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,720
visible, but even then it's 
usually an environmental thing, 

116
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,280
not a personal thing. 
There's never a bad new moon to 

117
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,680
set intentions on. 
New moons are when we do it, the

118
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,400
fruition comes in the full moon 
which is 6 months later. 

119
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,080
These are the ones that that 
correlate. 

120
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:41,520
So you you set your intentions 
on July 24th and the fruition 

121
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:47,400
comes in late February. 
OK, late February, it's a little

122
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,680
over six months. 
I talked about a certain person 

123
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,680
with enlarged ankles who does a 
good impression of an Oompa 

124
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,760
Loompa in my Patreon for the $15
level and up. 

125
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,480
There's some reasons why I'm 
doing it there. 

126
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,440
I'm not just gatekeeping to 
people. 

127
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,600
I'm not just trying to get 
people to pay more money. 

128
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,160
There's reasons. 
Some of those predictions are 

129
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,960
there. 
I'm not going to give them here,

130
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,600
but I'm going to say this is not
going to be his favorite new 

131
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,800
moon and February is probably 
not going to be his favorite 

132
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,800
either next year. 
And you want to know more about 

133
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:18,960
that? 
You can check it out in the 

134
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,480
Patreon. 
So what do you do? 

135
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,200
I really want you guys to focus 
on your heart center, you know, 

136
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:30,560
so you can do a meditation, you 
can listen to some Sulfagios 

137
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,480
frequencies. 
You can check those out on 

138
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,159
YouTube. 
They they're get ones that 

139
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:39,720
resonate with the heart center. 
And if one doesn't sound good to

140
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,919
you, try another one. 
Try until you find the 

141
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:44,360
frequency. 
Don't try to force the heart. 

142
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,480
But this is a good time to heal 
the heart. 

143
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,600
Because a lot of times if you've
gone through stuff and trauma in

144
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,600
life, sometimes you you pour a 
lot of love out, but you have a 

145
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,280
hard time receiving. 
OK, I'm going to say you're 

146
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:03,720
often not pouring as much actual
love as you think, because love 

147
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,000
is with detachment. 
We're not attached to how people

148
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,800
are doing. 
We're not attached to their 

149
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,600
outcomes. 
When you love someone, you see 

150
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,120
them as they are without 
judgment. 

151
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,840
It is acceptance. 
We want to do that for yourself 

152
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,000
because if you're not accepting 
of yourself, you can't accept 

153
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,360
anybody else. 
Leo governs the heart space. 

154
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,520
Leo governs our ability to take 
risks. 

155
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,600
Because if you're going to 
shine, there's usually people 

156
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,400
out there who want to snuff that
candle out waiting for other 

157
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,720
people's approval. 
That's somebody, something to 

158
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,640
let go. 
You don't need somebody to 

159
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,000
recognize your talents, your 
ability, or listen to you. 

160
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,640
You don't need people to agree 
with you. 

161
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:49,080
You don't it. 
You are not less valid, OK? 

162
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,720
You are not less valid if you're
surrounded by people who don't 

163
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,200
see eye to eye, don't listen, 
don't believe in what you want 

164
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,280
to do that that doesn't make you
less valid, OK? 

165
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,720
And learning that is an 
important lesson. 

166
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,000
You can set intentions to 
attract people who are like 

167
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,880
hearted. 
You don't want to be with like 

168
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,760
minded people. 
I say this all the time. 

169
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,960
Like mindedness gets you kind of
in a feedback loop and it can be

170
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,480
unhealthy. 
Kind of like when we lean into 

171
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:25,280
our labels, you know, whether it
is a trauma based disorder or an

172
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,800
attention disorder, whatever. 
We find out whether we're 

173
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,160
menopausal, post menopausal. 
We can lean so hard into that 

174
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,800
that we rob ourselves of a range
of experiences. 

175
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,120
And what is life about? 
A range of experiences. 

176
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,880
And when we take life head on by
wielding our consciousness, then

177
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:48,560
we don't struggle as much. 
It doesn't mean we don't have 

178
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:51,440
obstacles, it's just you can cut
through them like a hot knife 

179
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,280
through butter. 
When you're wielding your 

180
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,600
consciousness deliberately, you 
say, ah, ah, this thing I love 

181
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,000
that broke. 
Well, now I have a chance to buy

182
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,680
a new thing, OK? 
Or well, I have the memories, I 

183
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:07,960
have photographs. 
If it's irreplaceable, beating 

184
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,000
yourself up for six weeks is 
probably going to hold you back 

185
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,880
from a lot of opportunities. 
The stories we tell are 

186
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,360
everything. 
So if you want to know more 

187
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,920
about how to get through this 
new moon, make sure you check 

188
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,440
out the Patron Only podcast in 
the Patreon. 

189
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:34,400
OK, so that's for $5 members and
a it is a chance to cultivate a 

190
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:40,080
healthy ego. 
It is a chance to cultivate a 

191
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,360
healthy ego. 
And that means appreciating 

192
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,160
yourself, loving yourself as you
are, not seeking approval from 

193
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,320
outside of yourself, allowing 
your light to shine, 

194
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,720
understanding that not 
everybody's going to like what 

195
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,320
we have to say. 
Not everybody's going to like 

196
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:02,200
how we do things, and that's OK.
We're not here for everyone. 

197
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,880
We're here for our range of 
experiences and when we come 

198
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:10,040
from the heart center, 
everything blossoms and grows. 

199
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,680
That is how you meet this 
energy. 

200
00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:17,200
It is such a good chance to 
deconstruct and disrupt the 

201
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:23,040
social cultural patterns that 
hold us back waiting to get 

202
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,880
picked instead of asserting 
ourselves. 

203
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,920
It's not egotistical to put 
yourself out there in spiritual 

204
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,240
communities. 
It's always very fascinating 

205
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,360
because you'll have a leader and
they don't mind putting 

206
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,920
themselves out there. 
But when their group starts to 

207
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,600
put themselves out there, 
they'll be like, Oh no, no, no, 

208
00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:44,720
you're in your ego. 
I've seen it plenty because I've

209
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,440
been in the spiritual world 
since I was a teenager. 

210
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,680
And they'll always check you. 
They'll always check you. 

211
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:55,480
And I'm going to say the 
opposite. 

212
00:12:55,480 --> 00:13:00,120
I'm going to say show up, show 
up, shine your light, get quiet 

213
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,880
and listen to your heart space. 
What is your heart space telling

214
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,560
you? 
What is your next thing? 

215
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:08,240
Don't go out to save other 
people. 

216
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,200
Don't go out to try to wake 
everybody else. 

217
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,760
That's your that's your ego 
needing everybody to be in 

218
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,720
agreement so you feel safe. 
How can you release your 

219
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,600
attachment to people needing to 
be a certain way for you to feel

220
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,280
safe? 
How can you feel safe inside 

221
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,440
yourself? 
Those are all really good 

222
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:30,000
questions to sit and contemplate
and maybe journal about. 

223
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:35,600
OK, O journal about how can I 
feel safe inside of myself? 

224
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,640
How can I take a risk? 
And not just any risk, a risk to

225
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,000
you. 
You know, whether it's making a 

226
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,640
TikTok or going into a new story
you haven't been in, going to a 

227
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,800
community event you've never 
been to, introducing yourself to

228
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:55,920
people, writing that blog post. 
Start the book, seek out an 

229
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:00,320
agent, start the side hustle, 
apply for a new job. 

230
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,560
How can you do those things and 
feel safe inside yourself and 

231
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:09,240
turn that anxiety into maybe 
anticipation? 

232
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,520
OK, let's do some patron shout 
outs. 

233
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,800
And then I'm going to round up 
the episode with a few of the 

234
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,960
things I think we need to look 
out for this week. 

235
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,920
All right, we're bringing some 
shout outs to our newest patrons

237

newest patrons. 
I think you're going to enjoy 

259
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,520
the content that comes up as we 
move forward. 

260
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:56,400
I'm bringing back some longer 
patron podcasts and in August 

261
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,560
we're we're going to beef up 
some astrology education and I'm

262
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:06,040
really excited about it. 
So the summer program I'm 

263
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:10,720
teaching people how to use their
astrology and in August we're 

264
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,400
going to get you aware of your 
astrology. 

265
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,760
So if you've been wanting to 
learn about astrology, so we're 

266
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,520
going to have some beginning 
reference material come in, some

267
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,560
little videos to help you out. 
And if you're in the astrology 

268
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,440
crew, don't worry, don't worry, 
don't worry. 

269
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,000
I'm building up some aspects 
information. 

270
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,080
If you've been wanting to know 
more about aspects in the 

271
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:36,360
astrology chart, then I think 
you're going to really love what

272
00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:40,240
we're bringing. 
They're super excited. 

273
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,720
All right, Cosmic currents is 
what I'm going to call it. 

274
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,160
What do you expect kind of this 
week energy wise? 

275
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,000
What are what does the big 
picture energy look like and 

276
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,640
what can you do about that and 
how can you use it? 

277
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,320
All right, this is the Cosmic 
Currents segment. 

278
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,560
This is where it what it's 
replacing what's in the 

279
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,680
headlines here on the podcast. 
I want to give you an energy 

280
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,440
update and how you can use it. 
If you want to stay up to date 

281
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,680
with my predictions, you can 
head over to the Awake Space 

282
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,800
Patreon. 
These are already in the Awake 

283
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,400
Space Astrology magazine that 
comes out every single month and

284
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,280
you can find that in the 
magazine collection. 

285
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:37,080
And I also read the audio scopes
as well as these predictions 

286
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,160
that go out. 
So you can check that out in the

287
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,760
Patreon. 
I've just put the segment up as 

288
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,520
a normal like I would normally 
do. 

289
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,280
I'll put that up for $5 and up 
as part of the patron only 

290
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,200
podcast. 
All righty. 

291
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,840
So what can you expect with the 
energy this week? 

292
00:18:54,840 --> 00:19:00,560
Well, it's pretty interesting. 
So before a new moon we get a 

293
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:06,040
little crunchy because we got a 
release before we can plant the 

294
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,120
seeds. 
Because as you head towards the 

295
00:19:09,120 --> 00:19:12,560
new moon, we're looking at fresh
starts, fresh beginnings. 

296
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,000
This is Leo. 
Now I know a lot of people rag 

297
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,200
on Leo. 
It's like pick me energy and it 

298
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:24,000
can be an unhealed Leo. 
An unhealed or unaware Leo can 

299
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,560
be very much a pick me. 
It can be somebody who is very 

300
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:33,240
insecure and insecurity can come
out as a braggart. 

301
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,280
Insecurity can come out as the 
cowardly lion. 

302
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,800
I get it. 
A lot of Leo rising clients and 

303
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,160
Leo moon clients, much more so 
than Leo Suns. 

304
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,040
Because the sun is our energy 
levels. 

305
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,320
It's not our personality. 
That's, that's not what that is,

306
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,160
but it is our energy levels, our
animating force. 

307
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,600
It's what makes us, us as an 
animated being, right. 

308
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,800
But the rising and the moon and 
Venus and there are a lot of 

309
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:08,280
unhealed or wounded people who 
will shrink back and feel like 

310
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,440
imposters because maybe they had
a highly critical person in in 

311
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,840
their life as a child or a 
spouse, or they've been through 

312
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:20,120
an abusive situation. 
And, and anybody can go through 

313
00:20:20,120 --> 00:20:23,160
that, not just Leo's. 
It's not just Leo energy because

314
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,320
we all have Leo in our birth 
chart. 

315
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,800
For me, Leo straddles the 9th 
and the 10th house and this new 

316
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,000
moon is happening in my 9th. 
And remember, I'm going through 

317
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,080
how to deal with the energy in 
the houses in the patron only 

318
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,600
podcast. 
However, want to hold back. 

319
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,880
If you haven't been listened to,
you could be like, nobody cares 

320
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,360
anyway, why should I even speak 
up? 

321
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:49,760
I've tried and tried and tried 
and tried and tried and I feel 

322
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:54,120
like Cassandra, right? 
Anybody resonate with that? 

323
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:56,880
Let me know in the comments. 
This new moon is a good time to 

324
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,600
let that go. 
And how do we let that go? 

325
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,000
Well, nobody listened to me 
before, but that doesn't mean 

326
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,040
they won't now. 
If I don't shine my light, how 

327
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,280
can anybody see it? 
And sure, I'm not for everybody,

328
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,320
but there's got to be somebody 
out there who wants to hear what

329
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,240
I have to say or enjoys the same
things I do. 

330
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,840
Like if you really love to dance
and somebody looked at you and 

331
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,600
said, wow, you're a shitty 
dancer and you stop dancing 

332
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,680
because they did that, you let 
them oppress you. 

333
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,160
OK. 
People don't like the style of 

334
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,160
music you sing or play? 
Well, then you're not for them. 

335
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:39,920
You know, if, if somebody's only
into industrial Armageddon style

336
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,120
music and you're playing jazz, 
like jazz flute and they don't 

337
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:46,320
like it, well, they're not your 
audience. 

338
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,320
So it's learning to let go. 
That's going to be up on deck. 

339
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,880
And you may have these things 
surface. 

340
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,640
So somebody might come in and 
say, well, I don't like what you

341
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,960
did. 
I don't like your hair, I don't 

342
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,640
like your makeup, I don't like 
your show. 

343
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,080
You're too fat, you're too thin.
They'll have all kinds of 

344
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,240
opinions. 
People are going to be opining, 

345
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,160
OK, thank them, thank them for 
that. 

346
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,480
And you don't have to do it to 
their face. 

347
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,280
Please don't because it could 
start a fight. 

348
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,760
But inside your head, thank 
them. 

349
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,240
Say thank you for the 
opportunity because you, that 

350
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,560
energy is matching what I know I
need to let go. 

351
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,400
I can let go of that. 
They're giving you an 

352
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:31,160
opportunity to practice. 
Everybody wants magic to totally

353
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:36,240
release, to totally release 
without any effort. 

354
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,720
Nothing is without effort in 
this lifetime. 

355
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,760
We are physical beings. 
We deal with gravity. 

356
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,200
Walking is an effort. 
OK, if if you want to get to 

357
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,280
somewhere, we cannot teleport 
just yet. 

358
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,600
It would be so cool if we could,
but we cannot. 

359
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:53,680
So we got to walk. 
And that is an effort or walk at

360
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,400
least to the car so we can 
drive. 

361
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,480
Driving might be easy for you 
now, but it may not have been. 

362
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:04,400
It's another time, right? 
So this is an opportunity to let

363
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,040
go, and I talked about that 
earlier. 

364
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,000
So what are we going to see in 
the news? 

365
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,240
Well, we're probably going to 
see some new secrets revealed, 

366
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,200
OK? 
We could see some new secrets 

367
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,520
about people in the US 
administration. 

368
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,600
These might be doozies. 
There might be a hacking, OK, 

369
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:28,080
and it could happen around the 
24th. 

370
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,000
You know, it might have happened
like the day before and stuff 

371
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:36,480
gets released on the 24th. 
There's I'm sure some juicy, 

372
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:41,760
juicy giblets coming out OK. 
It's not just hot tea. 

373
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,160
We're getting some gravy, OK. 
We could see some issues with 

374
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,320
monetary funds. 
A lot of people are asking me 

375
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,960
about gossip and I, I don't have
any good news for you on that. 

376
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:58,960
I know the situation is beyond 
dire and I wish I had better 

377
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,880
news. 
I want you to remember I have 

378
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,680
people in my life who are very, 
very connected in that space. 

379
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:09,840
I have beloveds and friends 
around that region and I have 

380
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,320
looked and looked and looked for
better news. 

381
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,600
I'm afraid it's a catalyzing 
event. 

382
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,360
It doesn't make it less 
difficult and it doesn't mean we

383
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:23,280
should just shut up about it. 
But we will also see a push back

384
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,040
against people who do voice 
compassion and empathy for 

385
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,480
people who are facing 
annihilation. 

386
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,880
You know, Now, Speaking of that,
I think we may hear some push 

387
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:41,200
back towards the country that's 
perpetuating the gross 

388
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,480
violations of international 
humanitarian law and breaking 

389
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:50,240
the rules of war, OK? 
So we may see some pushback 

390
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,640
against that or there may be 
pushback against the leadership.

391
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,520
This new moon is setting up 
changes in leadership that will 

392
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:03,280
be continuing to happen between 
this week and February. 

393
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,400
So, you know, I know everybody 
wants change just like 

394
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,440
yesterday. 
Change doesn't happen that way, 

395
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,440
OK? 
To get to where we are at today 

396
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,320
took 40 some years, almost 50 
years. 

397
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,160
If you think it's going to 
change overnight because people 

398
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,880
just noticed because it became 
super obvious, that's not going 

399
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,840
to happen, that's not going to 
happen. 

400
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,080
You got to get involved. 
It's not enough to be aware. 

401
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:29,920
It's not enough to be a keyboard
warrior. 

402
00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:33,560
You're going to have to show up 
in your local spaces in that 

403
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:39,000
city, county, state, etcetera, 
province, wherever you live. 

404
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,640
However, you can't because not 
all political systems work the 

405
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:47,160
same and there are places where 
being involved has severe 

406
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,080
penalties. 
So if you live in one of those 

407
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,480
countries where you can't just 
be vocal or make your opinion 

408
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,680
known, there's other ways. 
Be decent to other people, be 

409
00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:00,000
kind, work within the rules so 
you don't face serious 

410
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,520
consequence. 
But there's many ways to be 

411
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,520
involved to make where you live 
a better place. 

412
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:05,960
What else do I think we're going
to see? 

413
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,000
I think we're going to see more 
interesting weather. 

414
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:16,000
We could see some hurricanes 
brewing or we could see volcanic

415
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,920
activity too. 
I think those big earthquakes 

416
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,000
happening off the eastern coast 
of Russia, just north of Japan, 

417
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,800
I think those may be also a 
potential volcanic event getting

418
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,000
ready. 
That area is going to continue 

419
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,960
to be a little more active. 
So those are things I think 

420
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:38,400
we're looking at. 
So this week, we also have Venus

421
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,600
and Mars squared. 
This doesn't mean it's bad for 

422
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,040
you. 
In fact, this new moon is 

423
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,400
powerful to propel you into 
fresh starts. 

424
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,120
This is the time if you've been 
thinking about a career change, 

425
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:52,080
if you've been thinking about 
making big changes on the inside

426
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,080
is great for personal and 
spiritual growth. 

427
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,400
Those are all great. 
On the outer level, we're 

428
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,600
probably going to see some ish. 
Okay, on the outer level, I 

429
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,920
think we're going to see some 
ish and that ish could be 

430
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,840
conflicts erupting again. 
Remember we've got Mars in 

431
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,800
Virgo, we've got Venus in 
Gemini. 

432
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,960
Still it changes into Cancer on 
the 30th. 

433
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:20,200
The the things are probably 
about to get popping. 

434
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:28,160
I talked about in in the 
Patreon, I talked about August a

435
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,240
little bit and I'll start 
talking about that next week 

436
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,880
here on the on the podcast. 
I'll give you a heads up in the 

437
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,280
patron only podcast, August is 
spicy. 

438
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,920
So from now to the end of July, 
August, despite we're preparing 

439
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,960
for August, the energy is 
building up. 

440
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,120
You might have a few more 
headaches, you might have some 

441
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:48,800
odd aches and pains. 
You might be feeling pressure. 

442
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:56,400
That's all physical resistance 
system SIM tums to the energy 

443
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:01,080
changes. 
So just take good care of 

444
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:07,600
yourself, do your best to 
release the release the energy. 

445
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:14,520
Just taking a quick look, let's 
see beyond seismic activity. 

446
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,760
We could see some big accidents.
I mean, Mercury's retrograde. 

447
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,480
We're going to see people being 
outrageous. 

448
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,600
We saw what happened in 
Hollywood where you had a driver

449
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,480
intentionally drive into a 
crowd. 

450
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,720
We can see a few more of those 
things. 

451
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,760
Remember people who are in their
ego. 

452
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,640
We could see some people 
pretending they're super 

453
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,400
villains. 
We could also see people 

454
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,360
pretending they're superheroes. 
Whether it's successful or not 

455
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:46,040
is remains to be seen. 
I think we could expect some 

456
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,040
really, really volatile weather.
Remember, above all else, I'm 

457
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,240
still most concerned with 
climate change, so keep your 

458
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,240
eyes out for anything from 
tornadoes, cycling, storms. 

459
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,080
That's where rain comes in and 
it just doesn't blow out. 

460
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:06,760
We could see again, more seismic
activity in and volcanic 

461
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:11,400
activity in the subcontinent of 
India, in the Indian 

462
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:16,000
subcontinent and Southeast Asia,
but moving all the way up into 

463
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,360
the North Pacific that that 
sector is really, really active.

464
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:25,360
Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, you
know, in the West Pacific, all 

465
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:30,480
of that is a little, a little 
volatile, OK. 

466
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,560
So especially when the moon gets
to Mercury, I think we could see

467
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,800
some accidents, some volcanic 
action, some seismic activity 

468
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,240
activity. 
And it it's going to be maybe a 

469
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,840
little dramatic. 
And then the 24th through the 

470
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,640
26th with that new moon, it's 
popping off and it's not just 

471
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:51,760
little. 
Everybody's going to have an 

472
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,080
opinion, OK? 
Even more than normal. 

473
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,960
The hot takes are going to be 
scalding. 

474
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,800
So keep your eyes open for that 
this week. 

475
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,040
I'm going to end the podcast 
with a couple journal prompts 

476
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:11,160
for you to use this week so you 
can navigate these very intense 

477
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:20,800
changing times. 
This new moon in Leo gives us an

478
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:26,160
opportunity to move into fresh 
start energy. 

479
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,640
It's very powerful. 
There's some powerful, powerful 

480
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,920
energy here. 
So here are three prompts for 

481
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,080
journaling. 
This way. 

482
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:43,560
When I shine, blank happens or 
when I let myself shine, this 

483
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,360
happens. 
Now if you get a negative, if 

484
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,200
that's the first thing that pops
in your head, like people make 

485
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,920
fun of me, people are jealous, 
blah, blah, blah, that's a good 

486
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,600
thing. 
Don't leave it at that. 

487
00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:01,080
If that's what pops up, then 
what you do is you write about 

488
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,680
how can you release your 
concern? 

489
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:09,200
So when people make comments 
that show me they're jealous, I 

490
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,840
know blank. 
I know I'm doing my job. 

491
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:16,280
I know that I've hit struck A 
chord. 

492
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:22,280
I know that that's about them. 
That's a them problem. 

493
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:27,600
And I shine Blank happens. 
If people make fun of you, then 

494
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,280
what do you know? 
What are you going to? 

495
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:30,360
What are you going to write 
about? 

496
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:35,160
Well, then I'm not surrounded by
the right people, and it's time 

497
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,280
to find the right people. 
So if you like to do improv or 

498
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,960
comedy and your friends make fun
of you or they dismiss you or 

499
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,320
they tell you you're not that 
funny, going to an improv group 

500
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,280
is probably the better idea, 
right? 

501
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,840
A lot of people think I'm funny.
Growing up, I was told I wasn't 

502
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,960
funny at all. 
And it's great when you guys 

503
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,440
think I'm funny. 
But you know what made me really

504
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,360
know I was funny? 
I took an improv class and my 

505
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,640
teacher thought I was funny. 
And my teacher was like a 

506
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,120
professional comedian. 
And I was like, ho ho. 

507
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,240
I made my teacher laugh. 
That's cool. 

508
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,560
She's picky, right? 
That was years ago. 

509
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,520
Now she's like, you're so funny.
I was like, Oh no, my brother's 

510
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,280
the funny one. 
And then she cracked up again 

511
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,040
because she thought I was 
kidding. 

512
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,400
And I was like, Oh no, I'm, I'm 
not kidding. 

513
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,600
My brother's the funny one. 
There's only one funny one per 

514
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,480
family, right? 
So think about it that way. 

515
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,680
So for every negative response 
that pops up into your head, 

516
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:37,920
find a way to disarm it, because
that negative is a ticking time 

517
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,040
bomb. 
I didn't say it wasn't true, but

518
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,320
there's a way to disarm it and 
move into a fresh start. 

519
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,520
Something else you can write in 
your journal. 

520
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:55,440
When I do blank I feel alive. 
When I do blank I feel alive. 

521
00:32:55,800 --> 00:33:00,800
What comes to your mind? 
What do you feel most alive now?

522
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:05,160
If you can't answer me then you 
need to spend the week looking 

523
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,600
at when you feel more energized 
because feeling alive isn't 

524
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,720
being a hyper hypo feeling alive
as you feel connected. 

525
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,400
It could be I was watching a 
video on TikTok and my friend 

526
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,840
Rod from Alabama, who's he's 
running for the seat in the 5th 

527
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,520
district. 
He is a joyful being. 

528
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,240
He's a really cool guy and he 
cares a lot. 

529
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,720
But he's in the middle of making
a TikTok and a Hummingbird flew 

530
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,440
up to him and he completely lost
his train of thought. 

531
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,480
You could just see the awe and 
wonder in his face like, oh, 

532
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,680
whoa, a hummingbird's right 
here. 

533
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,040
Something like that. 
Write about it. 

534
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,920
Pay attention to when you feel 
most alive. 

535
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:50,240
OK, The third thing, the third 
thing you can journal about is 

536
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,800
appreciating yourself. 
What are you proud of? 

537
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:56,880
Don't tell me you're not proud 
of anything. 

538
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,800
What do you know you're good at?
If you can't be proud, what do 

539
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,560
you know you're good at? 
How can you appreciate your 

540
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,160
physicality more, even if it 
doesn't always do what you want?

541
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,520
How can you appreciate the body 
you're in? 

542
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,920
How can you appreciate your 
physical appearance? 

543
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,040
So many people want to augment 
their appearance today to meet 

544
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,480
some weird beauty standard. 
How can you just appreciate 

545
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,600
where you're at? 
And if you did augment yourself 

546
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,719
and you're happy with it, you 
can appreciate that too. 

547
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,760
I have a friend who thinks her 
boobs all the time because she 

548
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:31,120
did a boob job and she's really 
happy about that, and that's OK.

549
00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:33,760
But how can you appreciate your 
physical self? 

550
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:38,679
It's not vanity to understand 
you are a beautiful person, and 

551
00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:41,760
don't tell me you're not. 
Everybody's beautiful in their 

552
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,520
own way, and that's how I want 
to leave you this week. 

553
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,040
Let me even know what you think 
of the new show format. 

554
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,800
I'm interested to hear about it.
