twenty fourth of July, one more week from today, is the last day
of the month of July, and then we will honor Caesar Augustus instead of
Caesar Julius or Julius Caesar. That's interesting how they turned it around. Remember
the Romans. The Romans more or less we're known by their first name,
like Augustus. Caesar august is named after Augustus. The Romans was sad ego
maniacs. They had to have not one, but two months of the calendar
named after them. Can you imagine what it was like, how confusing it
was to have And who figured this out? Also is the question, and
it goes all the way back to the second, the minute, the hour,
the day, the month, the year, and how everything seems to
fit into synchronicity in a sense, you know, it all kind of comes
together like the moon every twenty eight days. The whole deal about organization and
how things are, it's order. We have order. The universe is orderly,
or at least it would seem that it is. So. Here we
are how many months were there originally, because I know that some of them
are are Greek names are and then you have the Roman gods, and if
you also have numbers like excuse me, October or back when it used to
be the a that's why it was. Yeah, that's why it was named
that. Uh huh. Well, they'll notice that it's not any longer the
eighth month because of the caesars Augustus and Julius wanting to have months named after
them. That's where July comes from, That's where August comes from. So
then so they split it. And so now September, which is seven Septmbra
seven is the Roman and you know French, that's seven. Now that's the
ninth month, and October is eight, and that's the tenth month, and
no were in December death Yep, it's ten. So there you have organized
chaos. Welcome to the Good Day Program with Jay Krishner Doug Stephen. In
this hour of the program, we I suppose should start with more than a
mention. We'll touch this, We'll touch on this couple of times. I
think the fact that Tony Bennett passed away just the announcement was made right after
we went off the air on Friday, so let's lots of conversation about it
on Friday, here, there, and everywhere. End Over the weekend,
we had Christmas in July on the farm and some Tony Bennett Christmas songs where
played. It was a sad, sobering moment for those who have just thought
this guy would live forever, even though he's had a real problem obviously with
the Okay, see you that it is the business of Alzheimer's and what it
does to your body and what it does to your brain, how it just
eats away at the things that keep you going, keep your running. Everything's
controlled by your brain. And thus having first it was in twenty sixteen,
I think perhaps made that he was he had Alzheimer's and people don't say he's
dying of, but he's dying of that's what it does. So anyway,
we'll touch on that a little bit more as we think about celebrity and had
celebrities. It took the breathway. I had a cow die on the farm
yesterday afternoon, and it was another moment I just I don't have it happened
often, but when it does, it's really sobering because of the closeness that
I feel. I was doing a tour with some of the folks yesterday was
a visit. I did a couple of tours around the farm and one of
them I noticed the cow up on the side of a hill, not with
all the rest of them, so paying attention to it and seeing watching what
was going on. Apparently somehow Kyle broke its leg, and once that happens,
they don't they just can't survive. So anyway, life and death,
the good stuff and the bad stuff, and looking at what we all were
thinking about Jamie Fox, right and the fact that he was gone for as
long as he was. He had been hospitalized in April and wasn't His daughter
sort of said he was experiencing a medical complication. That was the repetition day
in a day out. Okay, so people were concerned. I'm a fan
of Jamie Fox that's always curious about what's going on. So he shared some
info over the weekend. He didn't say what was wrong with him. A
lot of people are speculated. Yeah, he did address some of the rumors
though, because there were a lot of rumors going around, and there were
a lot of fake photo and videos that were also making their right on social
media that people created. Yeah, it's crazy, isn't that. Why would
you go to the trouble of doing that just to satisfy your own and whatever?
What does it satisfy? I guess that's the question and of itself too.
Look, that does that satisfy in you that you want to create a
story? Some of them, I'm not sure which is right. And here
that's the problem with this stuff on social media. What's right, what's wrong?
What's correct? The business about whether he had the shots, the COVID
shots caused it, Did he have a stroke? Was he you know?
There are all kinds of rumors that got out of hand. Frankly, some
people said he was blind, but as you can see, he said,
my eyes working quite well, thanks very much. Some people said I was
paralyzed. He said, I'm not paralyzed. But he said I did go
to Hell and back. So after three or four months of recovery, he
does he does look okay, I know he did. Did you see some
other pictures? Oh yeah, yeah, he I mean the video in which
he addresses everything. He looks fine. He was seeing out what was a
boating and waving and smiling at people. And even his daughter had said,
because Jamie Fox is a very private person when it comes to his personal life,
and he was already out of the hospital and in a rehab facility before
we knew, like for weeks before anybody knew, he was already out of
the hospital in the rehab facility, and just like that, he was out
of the rehab facility again for weeks before anybody even knew. Yeah, it's
good. It's a good way to take care of your life. If you
don't want people to know, there's no reason for them to know. Why
would they, it's your business not there well, but also what a great
group of people he surrounds himself with, because there are so many celebrities who
want to keep certain things private, and there's always a quote unquote source that
gives an interview and it happens to be the truth. There's just not they're
not telling lies or rumors trying to get in the news. They're actually spilling
the beans. And the fact that every in his camp has been so tight
lips, honoring and acknowledging that he is a private person and keeping his well
being at the forefront. He has clearly surrounded himself with the right people.
Correct Namundo, Yes, as I have here Jake Kirshner, Dug Stephan on
the Good Day Program James Collins in the studio in Dallas. The Mega Millions
jack pot I just asked for as we were talking about Powerball. That was
something I think we acknowledged on on Friday. The Megamenions jack pot number and
the powerball jack pot number often are in sync, are pretty close. So
the powerball winner last week got about a billion, well after they get with
taxes and whatever they do, it's about half that. But Mega Millions now
is at a twenty eight hundred twenty million dollars. You're going to buy you're
buying it. I bought a ticket, my daughter and sent a lot they
bought tickets. I don't know why. People, you can just check to
see but there weren't any winners, So why would you bother to check to
see what your ticket said with the numbers? No, just you can still
be a winner just because you don't win the big jackpots, all right,
win other some other song? Right? Okay, yeah, you can win
a million bucks if you have five in the numbers, right, isn't that
how it works? Something like that anyway, eight hundred twenty. So the
next drawn for that would be tomorrow night, right, Mega means Tuesday and
Friday, is that right? Yeah? Yes, yeah, Tuesday and Friday
in Mega and then Monday, Wednesday, Saturday Powerball. And there are a
lot of people who are like, I'm not going to play Powerball. It's
not a giant jackpot anymore. I have to wait till it gets back up.
Yes, that's still a lot of money you still have. You have
a better chance of winning when there's less money because there are a few people
buying tickets. There you go. Dating, speaking of the jackpot, Barbie
the movie Broke a Box offered record and Uppenheimer did very well as well.
Both of them asked expectations. My daughter was interestingly talking about Greta gar Is
it Garawig? Is that her name? Oh? Yeah, Greta Garagwi.
Yeah. What do we know about her? I've never heard of her before.
Other movies that Have you seen an other movie she's directed? I have,
Yeah, I've seen something that she's directed. Some she's starting, she
is She's just a great artist across the board. She's the one that did
Um Ladybird, the remake of Little Women. I thought that for some reason,
maybe it was just because it lasted longer that Top Gun had beaten it.
Top Gun beat the amount of money was made, but didn't beat the
first weekend. So this thing is the the biggest opening since for a female
director. Yeah, right, so it's time for us to go back to
the movies. That's it. Let's see. I haven't seen the kids are
here now, so I didn't go to the movies, but I'll go see
you, Oppenheimer. I have no interest in seeing Barbie, do you?
Oh? Absolutely, I would love to, But I mean, just the
way my lifestyle is currently, I'm going to have to wait until it's available
to watch from home. I was thinking about it yesterday. The last time
I went to a movie theater was to see Spider Man Far from Home in
twenty nineteen. Good, that was the last time I was at a movie
theater. Ye're losing trending in social media on celebrities, and certainly the passing
of Tony Bennett. If there was anyone who was a music legend, he
was it. He was ninety six years old, so the question comes with
those who done understand. I think he even asked what was Alzheimer's At some
point when he was getting it, his wife would talk to him about it.
He apparently felt fine. I remember seeing the last performance he did a
radio city with Gaga, and he was able. He wasn't called it's amazing
how the brain works. He knew all the lyrics to all the songs,
but he couldn't really talk well. And his wife even said that performing for
as long as he did probably helped him kept him going. Yes, yeah,
because with Alzheimer's it's always depicted in entertainment as you forget who people are,
you forget memories and all that stuff, but you forget things like you
don't know where you are, you don't know what a fork is or how
to use it. It completely takes away everything in your brain, in your
mind. And he had been living with it for some time before he announced
it to the public, and he had kept performing. Yeah, one of
the things that I always enjoyed it, if that's the right word for it.
Many times singers voices when they sing don't sound like their voices due as
they talk do you know what I mean. It just your voice sounds one
way when you talk and seems to find itself a different identity for many singers.
But Tony Bennett's songs, his music, his voice sounded the same as
he sang as it did when he talked. It was that lilting kind of
yeah. I mean, it's almost like just this genuine talent that they when
they perform. When Tony Bennet would perform, he looked so effortless. M
yep. Well, he had certainly a lot of impact on There's no question
about that. His life and his times and the things he did to inspire
people. That makes him worth a lot of time and a lot of thoughts.
So think about the great life and what Tony Bennett gave to you and
everybody else as we think about him and passing Doug Stephen's A Good Day programs.
Jennifer Horn and Jay Kirshner. Both of these ladies have the power of
their own personal charm that works to their advantage or as we say here in
New England, it's chamming. Jennifer you're charming and Jay you're jam So does
that mean that what does it take to be charming? We've been talking a
lot often on over the past week or so about what's entertaining, and so
now let's take a look at what's charming. Do you to Some of the
things that are entertaining also end up being charming. If you're funny, if
you're witty, if you're clever, those people can be yeah, right,
exactly. Both of you are polite and likable. There's a special warmth and
you know what, you can't keep people. There are some folks who are
funny who are professionals. Right, Let's say we've all known some of these
people, Jennifer Jay, You've known somebody who is a performer who is different
on stage or when he or she was performing and they were in real life.
I find that to be objection. But a lot of people that do
talk radio or not the same. A lot of people on telling, a
lot of people are not the same. If you're an actor, it's one
thing because you're playing a part. But if you're doing something that is aimed
at being sincere and maybe truthful, powerful, whatever it is, you'd like
to think that those people are the same, whether they are a quote unquote
performing or they aren't performing. But you know, everybody's different and we all
have multidimensional personalities, and so some people who are charming in some ways you'd
expect to be charming. Lady who listens to the program up in New Hampshire
came to the farm over the weekend for we had Christmas in July and you
know the stuff special ice cream treats. I did a couple of tours around
the farm. But it was really very sweet. She drove all that way
with her family. She had a whole brood with her and I'm remembering.
Her name is Terry Sebee. Don't you see her a lot post? She
posts a lot doesn't she jay friends online? Yeah? Right, So she
was very sweet, came over and said hello, and I thought that was
very nice for her to come all that way to see the farm. And
it was unfortunate because it was such a busy did to have a lot of
time to visit with her what I wanted to do, But then I didn't
get back to her. I couldn't find her. I was going to take
her for a tour of the farm when we did a couple of you know
the things we drive. There's a wagon, put a tractor on it.
The kids love it because we feed the cows and they just love the cows
come up to the wagon and the kids scream. It's just, you know,
it's a lot of fun to and then I try to explain to them
why you don't have to be afraid of something just because it's big. That's
the whole reason, for part of the reason anyway, for being um,
you know, being upfront with what's going on the farm. You see all
the things that are here and there. It's it can be a powerful experience
because it's something that people aren't used to anymore. You know, we're one
hundred years ago. Everybody lived on the farm and everybody grew their own food
and had a cow, and that's a thing now today people just don't know.
So that's one of the reasons that I like to have people come visit,
Sony or Terry. Is nice to meet you. Thank you for coming
out and enjoying our charm if you will on the farm. Let's go back
to last week, ladies. It seems like only we keep saying this,
but it's true. Nano second ago that we went through the charts for last
week talking about it on the talk radio review and the two things that are
holdovers in my mind for maybe a valuable update. First of all, the
Army private that went in North Korea, Jen, did you talk more about
that on your program on Kara LA on Friday after you left here. We
didn't talk much more about it. I don't know if there's something else that's
new, but it's such a strange story that happened last week that the guy
just jetted and they're saying that now that could be mental illness stuff. But
North Korea, I'm sure happy to have them in prison. Well, the
UN's getting involved, didn't you tell me that, Jay Yea? You and
trying to get them talking with North Korea about yeah, getting back and curious
what the price will be And do we know yet what the assault charges were
that Travis King? He was in a South Korea Prince Korean prison for a
month or two months. But was it a was it a military prison,
wasn't it a military offense or was it against a civilian? I've searched.
I could not find anything other than that it was assault charges and that he
was being he was going to be transported back to the US when he got
away and got into it hitted within the tour group and then the boarder.
Yeah, maybe the mental illness thing. So that's that brings us around the
general discussion about these sorts of things when you bring because the services in such
need, like so many other jobs that have gone on filled, there's a
real problem getting people to sign up for the service. So they're offering bonuses,
right, sign up bonuses like you can see a lot of there's a
truck company, trucking company around me, and they're having a two thousand dollars
sign up bonus. We need drivers two thousand dollars. That's really pretty amazing.
But they're doing the same thing with getting people into the service. So
are they relaxing the psychology? Isn't there a psychological exam you have to go
through in order to go into the service? There is, it's psycho I
don't know if they're they're relaxing it. I know they're having trouble finding people
to go into the military right now. And you know, probably for a
number of reasons. You're teaching a lot of young people that America is the
problem and that America is not the solution. So what's the catalyst for for
joining in your Yeah, you're reading world problems. Yeah, you're kind of
changing that, that idea about America being worth fighting for. And then you
also have leadership that is, you know, not probably the strongest at the
moment, and sometimes I think, I mean the big we can be honest,
the big recruitment to well, the last time around for the military was
nine eleven getting attacked on our home soil, so worked well too well,
a lot of people signed up, a lot of recruitment. Yeah yeah,
right, Well, it's the whether the core is where the core needs of
the people in America. The army wonder about that, and if they're relaxing
again, maybe this is we have to see let it chake out. Also
from La La Land the strikes Jen Jen, where do we have this an
update on the issues and whether they're going to be solid. This thing could
drag on for a long time. But then you see the people who are
running these studios can't be stupid. They see the impact of two big movies
this past weekend, and those movies. If you're not making him, you're
not making any money. Yeah, well that's true for everybody. You know.
What's interesting. I talked to a friend of mine who is a he's
part of the Director's Guild and he is an assistant director, production assistant,
that sort of thing on a bunch of different TV show. So I was
talking with them about it over the weekend, and I was surprised because he
tends to be pretty opposite of me politically. But I said, you know,
I couldn't understand. Yeah, and I and I imagine that in LA,
but I can understand why the director or excuse me, why the writers
and why the actors are concerned about AID these other things, Like I kind
of understand that AI is scary. It's pretty darn good. What is it
going to look like? And he said no, He's like, there's no
way the directors always figured this out. And he was actually blaming the people
that lead the union, particularly for the writers. He said that the actors
are kind of new and they'll probably follow suit, but he said he's he's
disappointed that the writers have been on strike for so long already. I don't
you know, I don't know. I think that the idea of going on
strike is to try to get a deal, but I think this everybody seems
to want to smoke the other side out, and it's very personal right now.
That. Yeah, they're cutting trees outside of Warner Brothers because they don't
want the strikes. The people on strike deft shade. Well, it's childish.
It's back and forth. Yeah, so there we are. I don't
know when this is going to go. He thinks it's gonna last a long
time, though, my friend who doesn't think that this is coming anytime soon.
The writers have already been on strike for three months, so of course
it's going to last a long time. Well, and especially with the streamers,
because there is always something else that they could put on, whether it
is reairring old stuff or what was it Yellowstone was just changing it's going to
plan and reruns on a different network. Or you have reality television that unfortunately,
which kids boring after a while. Not for everybody. Reality television a
lot of people really love it, and they can continue to ride that train
and keep making their money while everybody else boring boring. I know it's not
for everybody, but for me it's boring. It's kind of like some of
these political discussions back and forth over the weekend. The people who would be
Trump in a manner of speaking, the people who want to make sure Trump
doesn't become the president you candidate. The cusion about cutting social security for younger
people, I guess I want to have somebody who's an expert in social security
tell me how younger people, younger people in need I get social security.
But why has this become a political football. I figure you watched this as
closely as anybody, Jennifer, So why is this a back and forth?
Don't cut social security? It's such a It's such a big problem because nobody
we always talk about balancing the budget and people's out of control spending, but
really, when you look at what the government spends money on and you look
at the cost of things, entitlements certainly are like the biggest chunk of that.
Now, that doesn't mean that you have to get rid of people social
security, but there have been people who have suggested making the age requirement seventy
instead of whatever it is now. Yeah, sixty five seven, sixty yeah.
Yeah. You have to start taking your money at the moment at seven.
If you don't volunteer to take it at sixty five, then you have
to start at seventy one. I remember going through that and thinking, why
should I don't want it? I don't need it? So why don't I
have to take it because the government says you have to take it starting at
seventy one if you haven't started already. Okay, but what's the reason for
that rule? People wonder, and with good reasons and all these rules,
and there's ways to try to figure out, because it's not going to be
there for for Jay or for James or maybe even for me when when we're
looking for it, you know, the money's going to run out because there's
not enough of the young people to fund the old people. And the problem
has not enough young people working. They're all living off the public dole.
And so you know, I mean, you've got you're going around in a
circle here if you don't understand where what the issue is. The issue is
that Americans are not working there there it's too easy not to. And so
in those circumstances, you know, the people who need and want well,
the idea is to discern which people need it and which people want it,
and that's where the conundrum comes in. Maybe cutting up social Security for younger
people is based on that in part. Maybe that's part of the issue,
that we need to encourage people to work so they contribute to the system,
so the system works. If they're not working, then they don't contribute because
we are our benefits now being paid by the people who are paying in.
So it's interesting that has made its way into the political circles as it has.

that Privigen seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly, have

we dig around social media or actually in the in the area of social media
or devices or the system or whatever it is, Ladies, I thought you'd
be interested to know that Elon Musk has said he's going to change the Twitter
logos. So bye bye birds, bye bye birdies. So what's the point
of this or is it just him being him? One would wonder what are
they going to put up there? It's an X an X because space X
he's the CEO of space X. I mean, this is straight up cross
promotion. Really, you look at an X on Twitter and the right way
you're going to think about space X. I don't think so, I'm not.
That's probably where he is coming from the sense of using an X.
Well, he seems to have done a lot to disembowel the value of Twitter
and his own investment in Twitter, and maybe he just doesn't care because he
has plenty of dough. But the people who have used Twitter, I actually
honestly haven't ever paid much attention to Twitter. I know that we talk about
it here. Good Day on Air is our Twitter handle, But what you
know, I like it better now under Elon got to say, well,
that's because you like him his political No, I don't even know what his
politics are. I mean he's all yeah, I mean, give me a
break. I mean, I know it's truly easygo oh you only like somebody
for the worst. Yeah, yeah, I like it because it is a
little I was definitely under some kind of weird algorithm under the old the old
Twitter. So I feel like I get a little bit more visibility. But
more than that, I just like the fact that people aren't being pushed down
for the stuff that they say. We're all big boys and girls. You
don't need to have social media telling me what's fake news and what's note.
It should be up to us or keywords. It was like, well,
if you use this word, the algorithm would flag it and that you'd basically
be shadow band, meaning that people couldn't see anything that you were tweeting.
It wouldn't be on their newspeed where now you just have to pay to be
seen. You just have to get paid to be verified, and then whether
Twitter blue or x blue now and then you can be seen. But if
there is something that could be false information, it's it's still in there in
the news speed it just has a little notice of like, hey, some
people have flagged us as false, so it's not being hidden anymore. People
can actually see and then take what they want from it. I'm reading something.
I didn't know that the Twitter bird came as a tribute in a manner
of speaking to a Larry Bird, the famous basketball player. And actually my
grandson, Jasper's middle name is Bird because my son is a great basketball fan
and he thought Larry Bird was the greatest of all time. So that I
didn't know that that was the inspiration for the bird on Twitter. Did you
know that? No? I thought it was Yeah. I thought it was
like one of those just quick designs. I think that, Well, so
there you go, Larry the Bird. Everybody's heard about the you know,
I always launched into that. Okay. So the thing, the bottom line
here is why even bother these people have created this universe and we all seem
to be way too dependent on it. I only use Facebook, and because
I don't have a connection. I don't feel a connection to Instagram, even
though my children are on it. I don't feel a connection at all to
Twitter, and so they're making it. As Jay and I were talking off
the air, so difficult for everybody to connect. I have three accounts and
I want to cross pollinate one with the other, can't do it. It's
it's it's almost especially with business pages. They now you have to use business
suits. You can't just use it straight from Facebook dot com. It opens
a new town, a new window, and it's it's definitely different from the
average user who uses it to connect with people and then businesses who have actual
pages, and there are some glitches and bugs that just do not play well
together. Doug. There have been sometimes where you have been saying that you're
having an issue and I try to walk you through it, and it's just
you tell me you're not seeing something. So I log in on your account
and I'm like, oh my goodness, it's actually that button is not there.
It's supposed to be right there. It's not usy air exactly all right,
and it certainly could be clean that I wasn't the friendliest user, but
it's not there. It's not there. So it's great business time for Caldron.

At toploss dot com. We're focused on social media gossipy sorts of things during
this portion of the program. A lot of celebrity things that are trending,
including the story of a hairy styled fan who has gone to many of his
concerts and will tell you this is something that almost reminds me of the days
you never knew ROBERTA. Fast and Eli j As she was you and an
incarnation a number of years ago on this program. And she's still is as
far as that's concerned. You see posted all the time on her Facebook page.
She goes to the Boss's concerts. She's big Bruce Springstey, been hundreds
of them, and so this is a story if somebody who's been to dozens
of Harry Styles concerts, when you hear the story, keep you grounded kind
of. It's a busy world. A lot of people have a lot of
distractions. People summer well every some of there are always lots of great concerts
and tours. And some of these folks that don't do outside that do the
inside venues. They go around the clock, around the around the year.
Harry Styles as busy boy. And as testimony to that, here's a super
fan that's trying to soak up Jay as much of his music as she can
because she's going deaf. Yeah, it's heartbreak. She has two brain tumors
that are in locations that will eventually cause her to go completely deaf. And
she says that music in general is just it's the biggest part of her life.
It's how being fans of certain artists, or how she's connected with people
and made some of her lifelong friends, and just it scares her the thought
of going deaf and not being able to have any music in her life.
So she's trying to absorb as much as possible and being a Harry style super
fan. She's really going all out, just not only watching his videos and
on YouTube or anything and listening to the music, but going to as many
of his shows as she could. She went to Toronto, she went to
one in California. She went to London and saw two of his shows there.
What a shame when you think about her. What does your mind do
when you're thinking, Malcolm be able to see anymore, I'm not going to
be able to hear anymore if you lose those five touches that I mean,
the five senses. Yeah, if you will, what can we imagine if
we're not there? Every once in a while, when I take a quick
nap, I put a blindfold on and I think, okay, is this
is what it would be like if I didn't I didn't have sight well,
And I think it depends on what it happens too, because as human beings
we hope to learn and adapt. But if you are born blind or deaf,
you really don't know any differently, and so you already in you're in
learning how to do different things. You're already adapted to that. But if
you are a child who goes daffer blind, you again kind of might be
more easily adaptable. Then if you or I dun had an incident that made
us go dafer blind at our age, we would probably have a lot more
of a difficult time adapting dealing. Yep, Well, good luck to this
young lady. No matter what she's doing something, she's got a passion and
maybe it will help her in the long run. Hopefully that's the case.

Easy to get to her. We'll have her tell you you can find her
so that she can help you understand what it means now astrologically speaking, that
we move into the sign of Leo. All right, So Leo is a
fire sign, and as of this moment, until the twenty third of August
or so, we're under the influence is it, could I say under the
creative influence of Leo? Is Leo's creators? Yes, yeah, this is
the sign of creativity. And you know we're right in the middle of the
year. It's the middle of summer, and we obviously know that by the
weather reports. And yet when the sun goes through the sign of Leo,
which it started on Saturday the twenty second, and it will be there until
August the twenty third. You know, this is the month of having fun,
of enjoying, of doing it in ways that are creative. This is
why people mostly travel during the month of July. It is a time to
get together, you know, with loved ones. However, with what is
going on right now, you know we have seven seven of the ten planets
that we astrologers consider to be important to our lifestyle have gone retrograde. All
right, explain what that means? What does it mean? We talk often
about mercury going retrograde, which I think it does again in a couple of
weeks or three, maybe three or four weeks. If they're all retro at
the same time or these many planets. I don't remember there being Listen,
I'm not remembering. Well, I can remember three or four planets, and
I was talking about it being retro at the same time. But seven,
yes, and it is sort of a rare event, which is similar to
many of the events going on on the planet right now. You know,
we have heard unprecedented many different times. So they all connected, Maria,
is that part of what we're Well, they're they're sort of if you saw
them astronomically in the sky, they're kind of sort of in a row,
and you know, I mean, I'm sure astronomers would tell me that that
is not exactly correct. But well, about a month ago, you could
look at the Moon and you could see Venus and Mars right close to it,
and it's you know, those are kind of when you look at it
and you think, wow, we are that close, but yet it seems
close, and one wonders how that influenced. Yes, that's so when you
have seven that are all sort of when a planet goes retrograde, it's kind
of standing still. So when that happens, it slows everything down. And
when we think about Leo, the fire sign they want to just go,
go go. My big word for the month of July is planning planet,
planet stick and plan your trip, plan your life. What do you mean
plan what are we planning? Well? Planning whatever you're doing, and planet
in a way that you're not in a hurry. I mean, as we
know in Mercury goes retrograde, we have to sit and revisit, relook at
whatever the important decisions we're making. So when you have seven planets that are
sort of if we if we looked at it this way, if they're all
standing still, we're gonna feel like, well, we just want to get
going. And it's not going to be that. It's I'm not going to
say it's not going to be easy, but we're really going to have to
sit down and plan. You know, like when I was a little girl
and we planned a trip, my dad would take a big map out and
sit and really look at all of the different roads that we would need to
take. And it's the same concept, except we're looking at a bigger picture
here. We're looking at what we're doing, what we're going to do in
the day to day. And if your day to day is mundane and you
know, you go to work and you come home, you're going to look
at Okay, well, there's still the weekend, so I do want to
do some fun, something fun. Neo wants to have fun, So figuring
out too thin, how do you have fun? And how to plan it
the right way? And do remember we always have a full moon on a
new moon, and our full moon is going to be on August first,
so we have to consider that that's going to come along as well. So
there's always activity going on, all right, So how do people find If
people want to get some advice from you, how do they do it?
Where do they find you? Yeah? They anybody even if you have a
