Let's see what else can I use to describe Maria Francesca trilogy. She is
smart, she is friendly, she is accurate. She's Maria. That's who
she is, Maria. And whenever we talk about this on the air,
we have such strong there's strong reaction in a sense because people wonder, as
an Italian, what I recall about you and your humble beginnings. You have
about nineteen kids in the family. I think, as I remember it,
that's ALLU. Yeah. Anyway, you grew up as a good Catholic,
So yeah, how does that square the astrologer? A lot of people who
are so they quote unquote good Catholics think that the astrology is occultism and it's
the straight hell right, You're going right down there into that hole if you
are an astrologer. So how have you dealt with that? Is you matured
and became good at this? Well, first of all, I even as
a good little Catholic girl, I never understood or could agree with the idea
of that hell based reality. However, if you were going to move into
that realm, you would think about what happened when the three wise men,
and they were called wise found their way to Jesus. How did they do
that? I'm going to ask you that. How did they do it?
They were on camels, and they rode through the desert. They fall to
star as star was the number one thing you did, the star. And
you know what, It's interesting because I just got onto this the other day.
Easter was last week, because we know, and it was supposedly the
celebration of pagan celebration, but you know, get taken over by the Catholics
in the fourth or fifth century as the celebration of the rebirth of Jesus.
And so I always when I stir the pot at both Christmas and Easter,
I remember I'm an official member of the Sea and e crowd Christmas and Easter
crowd, as a lot of people go to church only on Christmas and Easter.
But Jesus was not born on the twenty fifth of December in any year.
If in fact, if you want to use the number twenty five.
It's closer to the twenty fifth of March because they the astrologers followed the star
right. Yes, and it's true. I mean I wouldn't. I mean,
that is a subject for separate show. However, they there are a
lot of there are many astrologers that also believe that Jesus was not born on
Christmas, that he has entered even the energy of who he was as a
person relates very much to the Ares individual or the Ares kind of energy,
so that it's it's that is lovely that you brought that up. So how
do I connect the two. I do believe that the planets that are that
we can really not see, but know that Jupiter and Saturn and Uranus and
Neptune they're there. So I believe that they do have an influence and it
has not that it's separate from my religious belief. I do believe that you
know, Mother Nature and all that all that is has provided covers whatever religion
you are. Do you know what I mean. I don't want to say
it's separate, but I do believe that it's very much connected to No,
I think, yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah it is. And so
we come around the reason that you were invited here today, as you're always
invited, but the specifics of a new a new journey into darkness for some.
Because mercury is in retrograde, and it feels like we had a retrograde
around Christmas and it was okay, it was pretty mild. This one doesn't
feel quite that mild. You what's going on is not no, it's what
it is. Well, first and foremost, today is four four twenty four,
so it's a good day for us to be on together. Secondly,
mercury retrograde right now, it's in the sign of Arees. Now you just
talked about Jesus March twenty fifth. The sun went into Aries in late March
and we'll be there until late April. What does that mean. What happens
when that happens. Well, Arias is a fire sign, and Aries is
the start of the astrological new year. So there's so much energy. And
when we think about any sign that's a fire sign, everything's going to move
quickly. Everything we're just moving faster than the human experience can sustain. So
it really means we need to pay a lot more attention to what we're doing
and pull back a little bit, and it's not. Well, first of
all, we know mercury retrogrades all about going back, and so when it
does it really go back or it just looks like it's going back, Well,
it looks like it's going back, but there is, yes, but
there is an energetic pulling back that is occurring here. And we've got this
solar eclipse coming next week on the that's my next question. What does that
do for the astrologers other than make them feel like they're in heaven with all
of this stuff going on in the heavens? Well, what it does?
Okay, so if we're going to look at the shift in consciousness just to
just move the energy over and think about when there is this dynamic, full
on solar eclipse, what happens, right, we go from light to dark
and then back to light. So what is what that can do for us
as individuals is sort of allow if you're going to move into that realm,
allow for a cleanliness. So what we're hoping or what astrologers and you know,
when we look at what goes on with us as human beings, what
we would like to happen is for people to create some kind of a rebirth
in their own consciousness. So what we're looking for is a way to start
over, a way to say okay, when that dark is going on and
then the light comes back. It's as if you're erasing something off of a
blackboard. Right. So today, the weather across the country in many regions
from the upper Midwest across the Ohio River Valley in the northeast, the last
couple of days is off of where I am right now. I wish I
wor you and I spent Thursday afternoon in the last week and it was wonderful.
I wish I were there with you. Now the weather here on the
farm is awful, and so we're looking you know, maybe that's the last
throw of winter as it cleanses. You know, that's what the springtime is
all about, cleansing. And so that's kind of what we're talking about here
in part, isn't it. Yes? And when we look at what is
going on, you know or not that to go into the climate, environmental,
you know, not disaster, but what is going on is an opportunity
for people to change the way we are living. So when we have this
kind of experience happen with this solar eclipse, even when it's going on with
you know, in this environment right now, it is even so much more
critical to pay attention to what's going on with you, with each one of
us as an individual. And it's really challenging because we are living in a
very different, you know, a very different overall society as it's trying to
move forward. We're doing our best, and yet there's one thing after another
that is kind of stopping us from So how do we get this message across
to people. We have a lot of people listening to this program right now,
and there are lots of folks who pay attention to Astralia. I have
often said, because it's backed up by fact, the two most read sections
of the newspaper, whether it's online or whether it's in print, are the
obituaries and the horoscopes. So that's it. That's the number one and number
two thing that people go to. I want to see what's my horoscope?
Saying me today? Yeah, even though that's for entertainment is off and silly,
there are things there right yes, and you know, there are so
many good astrologers online now that have a more serious description of what is going
on. I mean, on the same day of the solar eclipse in the
sign of Aries. Right, we just described fire areas. There's a new
moon in areas meaning a new beginning, okay, the solar eclipse a new
beginning, and then mercury retrograde moving back. So it's going to be a
pushfull and right one step forward, one step back kind of yes, and
a little bit frustrating. So what you want to look at is is that
you're sign. Were you born from March twenty first or March to April nineteen,
is that your birthday? If you're in Aries, you're going to be
you know, impacted by this more than any other sign. Okay, then
if then, if you really are an astrological offishient hollow and you know what
your moon sign is, and if your moon sign is Aries, emotionally,
it's going to be quite an adventure for these few days that this is going
on because the solar eclipse really we don't see the very very very beginning of
it, right, So it starts like on the sixth into the seventh and
then culminates on the eighth, so going around the world. Yes, so
we want April's going to be very very powerful overall and powerful in what way.
You know, we all were focused on. We hear all this stuff
about the Middle East and Graneans in the miles and YadA, YadA, YadA.
So where does that It is going to create a lot of frustration.
You know, we we're trying to find resolution here and it seems like we're
still a little bit not stuck. But you know, we're looking to selve
conflict in ways that are doing more damage than not. That's how this accident
or not, whatever happened with these food you know, these vendors that were
bringing food. Now, however it happened, these people are gone. And
you know what else happened, Maria on the first day of Mercury being in
retrograde, that freighter crashed into the bridge in Baltimore. Yes, but you
see what. Here's what it's doing though, it's showing us where we need
to do better. They just found out that the dolphins, right, yeah,
you know the dolphins that not dolphins, not the fish, but the
dolphins the structures that are there to protect if a ship is getting close,
right, And what happened is they found out that those dolphins have never been
refitted since they were built in the seventies. So what it's saying to us
is do it better people, all right, So there's a lot of lead.
There's a lot of lead here. I would suggest those of you who
