Trilogy, who is one of America's
great astrologers. She is also a lifestyle

00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:25,440
coach, helping people understand what they
need to know about themselves through the stars,

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,679
and that's really kind of what she's
I find her fascinating, frankly,

7
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:35,759
and because Mercury has gone into retrograde, I decided it would make good sense

8
00:00:35,759 --> 00:00:39,560
of Actually, Jay said, yep, let's have Maria on to talk about

9
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:45,240
retrograde from now until New Year's Day. So for those who are not familiar,

10
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,039
they hear us talking about this Maria
from time to time, and you

11
00:00:48,119 --> 00:00:51,840
and I certainly talk about it,
and it becomes part of what you talk

12
00:00:51,880 --> 00:01:00,200
about in general with your clients.
What is it, Well, Mercury is

13
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:11,480
the planet that defines the way we
think, and that means our cognitive mind

14
00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:17,959
process, and that means how do
we come to decisions about things? Do

15
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:25,280
we get excited? Are we more
practical? So it depends on the sign

16
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:33,519
of course that mercury's in to determine
what kind of energy we will, right,

17
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,640
so mercury then if it's in there
now, this is Sagittarius, which

18
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:44,760
is a fire sign. How would
a fire sign in mercury redrogray be different

19
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,640
than let's say, a water sign. Well, first of all, mercury

20
00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:57,760
has moved from the sign of Sagittarius
to the sign of Capricorn woes. And

21
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,840
I thought that that didn't happen till
December twenty first. No, that happened

22
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:10,360
this morning, really, so mercury
went retrograde early this morning. The twenty

23
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:15,840
first is the winter solstice, but
that's not the beginning. I thought they

24
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000
changed. Hold on a second,
because I don't want to have people confused,

25
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,840
including me. I thought, for
the most part, the changes went

26
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,439
in terms of signs around the twenty
twenty first twenty second of each month.

27
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,000
So you would normally, yes,
yes, the sun does that. The

28
00:02:31,039 --> 00:02:38,199
sun moves from one sign to another
on the twenty first, twenty second of

29
00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:42,639
each month, and you are right, yes, it does do that.

30
00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:50,599
Where mercury goes retrograde at a different
it has a different time period that it

31
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,000
does that, and it does it
like four times a year. So right

32
00:02:54,039 --> 00:03:00,039
now we're at the last mercury retrograde
of the year, and in the sign

33
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:07,159
of Capricorn, it is not going
to be as frazzled. We are not

34
00:03:07,199 --> 00:03:14,639
going to be as frazzled or have
to be as concerned about that experience as

35
00:03:14,719 --> 00:03:19,199
we would be, you know when
it's in others. So why would that

36
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,800
be? What is there different?
Why is there a difference for mercury sort

37
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,479
of to put in another way,
is in a fire sign versus a water

38
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,000
sign in this case, because a
Capricorn is not an air sign, isn't

39
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,439
it good? No, Capricorn is
an earth sign earth sign. So when

40
00:03:35,479 --> 00:03:39,080
we think about elements quickly, we
have air, fire, earth, and

41
00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:46,960
water. That when mercury goes retrograde
in each one of those elements, it

42
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:51,360
is a different kind of experience.
So if it's in a fire sign,

43
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,759
we are going to be all fired
up, right and we're just going to

44
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,520
warn a zoom ahead. If it's
in an air sign, we're going to

45
00:03:58,639 --> 00:04:02,560
do the same thing, going to
do it mentally, you know, it

46
00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:12,400
is a dynamic of watching the elemental
energies. When we talk about mercury,

47
00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:23,360
retrograde. So in Capricorn Earth sign
grounded practical responsible with mercury retrograde and that

48
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:30,360
sign it is going to give us
an opportunity to stop for a moment before

49
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,839
we make any kind of important decision. It isn't like we're going to make

50
00:04:34,879 --> 00:04:39,639
it and then have to go back
and say, oh my god, you

51
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,680
know I want a head too quickly. So what is what is it going

52
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,759
to do. It's going to help
us to say, okay, well I'm

53
00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:53,360
going to wait a minute. I'm
not going to rush around here. And

54
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,800
it's going to ground us and slow
us down. And it is going to

55
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:03,480
be a different experience because we are
in a state right now. I mean,

56
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,120
this is the holiday we're going to
be. We want to hurry up.

57
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,240
We want to get those gifts rapped, we want to get that shopping

58
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,439
down, we want to get where
we have to go. We're going to

59
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:19,199
be together with family. What's going
on that you know from the thirteenth of

60
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:27,879
December to January first, that's one
of the most significant rush times of the

61
00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:31,160
year. Well, we're not going
to be that rushed. We are going

62
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:35,680
to stop. We're going to do
it more. Is this advice as to

63
00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:40,240
what people should do or is this
just practical? This is how it's going

64
00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:46,000
to impact because a lot of times
when mercury goes retrograde in general, it

65
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:53,439
causes havoc or that's what the conventional
wisdom is. Drama galore, communication challenges

66
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:59,160
and technology problems and travel issues and
all of that stuff, relationship issues,

67
00:05:59,319 --> 00:06:03,560
that kind of So I was part
of the retrograde usually you're right, except

68
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:12,959
now in Capricorn, it is going
to give us an opportunity just naturally to

69
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:16,879
not do the rushing, to think
ahead, to do things in a way

70
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:26,120
that it's going to be more practical
and logical. So it will be really

71
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:30,959
probably of all the retrogrades of the
year, this is going to be one

72
00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:34,680
that I'm not going to say we're
going to totally enjoy. We are,

73
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:41,199
though, going to find a way
to manage it much better than the others.

74
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,199
All Right, So we don't usually
welcome it, but it sounds to

75
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:51,079
me like you're saying it is a
welcoming opportunity at least this time, and

76
00:06:51,439 --> 00:06:58,240
you take them one day at a
time. So let's talk about what I

77
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,240
alluded to a few minutes ago.
We're going into winter officially next week.

78
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,680
And what happens. People say,
it's the shortest day of the year,

79
00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:12,879
the shortest daylight and then things,
you know, get longer at a minute

80
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,839
or two a day, and it
seems like in a few weeks we are

81
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,920
enjoying a lot more lightness. So
is that is does the winter solstice bring

82
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:29,839
us more light? The Winter Solstice
is sort of a time of the year

83
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:36,040
where Indigenous people and sort of I
always say, back of the day people

84
00:07:36,399 --> 00:07:46,439
celebrated the idea that now the world
is beginning to light not light up totally

85
00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:53,759
again, but now this is it. The twenty first of December is when

86
00:07:53,920 --> 00:08:00,360
it is the shortest day, and
yet we start to see we're celebrating not

87
00:08:00,439 --> 00:08:05,319
only celebrating the light idea of new
like coming in, we're celebrating the end

88
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:11,079
of the year. So I always
recommend to people to take a little time

89
00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:16,399
to look at what did you do
in twenty twenty three? You know,

90
00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:22,360
excuse me, what were your challenges? What did you accomplish? You know,

91
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:28,160
what do you want to move forward
with? So it's a time to

92
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:33,600
honor, honor yourself, honor your
loved ones, gather together. And it's

93
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:41,840
interesting that it happens right around when
we do celebrate the different holidays, so

94
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:48,240
it really is a time to plan, to plan the year ahead. You

95
00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:52,720
know, we rushed through so much
of our lives that I think if we

96
00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:58,200
would just take the time to celebrate
who we are, celebrate each other,

97
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,519
to just say I did this,
you know, I celebrated my life,

98
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:09,600
I honored other people, and now
this is who I want to be,

99
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:15,840
what I want to accomplish in twenty
twenty four. So it's a beautiful experience

100
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:24,480
if we just take the time necessary
to do that and time. It's yeah,

101
00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:28,639
it's taking time and thinking, well, just plain thinking. A lot

102
00:09:28,639 --> 00:09:31,399
of people, as you said,
they move and they don't think much about

103
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,080
whatever it is that they're doing.
