Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of Astrology with Alice. I'm
Speaker 1: your host, Alice Bell, and today is a two part episode.
Speaker 1: So in the first little part, I want to give
Speaker 1: updates on how my pregnancy has gone in the last
Speaker 1: part of it, because I haven't really given astrological updates
Speaker 1: on how pregnancy has played out since April, and that
Speaker 1: now feels so early on, like that was I was
Speaker 1: less than halfway done with pregnancy when I recorded that,
Speaker 1: and now I'm thirty six weeks pregnant giving birth this month.
Speaker 1: So I wanted to kind of look into how different
Speaker 1: transits have manifested as the pregnancy has gone on. But
Speaker 1: then a large part of the episode will be me
Speaker 1: answering questions that substack subscribers wrote in about various astrology topics,
Speaker 1: so like what a solar eclipse on your north node means,
Speaker 1: how to deal with astrological disappointments, Saturn transits, transits over
Speaker 1: your send it in mid Heaven. We got a lot
Speaker 1: of different like a lot of variety of questions that
Speaker 1: I'll be answering before we get into it. Though, just
Speaker 1: a reminder, this is the last month I will be
Speaker 1: podcasting for a while. August twenty seventh will be the
Speaker 1: last episode that comes out. I'm gonna take a leave
Speaker 1: from this podcast when I have my baby, and I
Speaker 1: likely will not be back to podcasting until the spring
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty seven. However, I will still be posting
Speaker 1: regular content to my substack channel, Astrology with Alice, where
Speaker 1: I do a mix of free and paid content in
Speaker 1: depth monthly horoscopes at the start of each zodiac season,
Speaker 1: as well as teaching about niche astrology topics. And I'm
Speaker 1: also hoping to introduce a new feature there later in
Speaker 1: the fall, so stay tuned for that. And also I'll
Speaker 1: be active on Instagram too. Yeah, I just wanted to
Speaker 1: give a heads up because, yeah, having a child, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of looking at how I can reorganize my business,
Speaker 1: what aspects of my business are the most important and
Speaker 1: going from there. And I know a lot of this
Speaker 1: is all so playing into the Mars retrograde coming up,
Speaker 1: which is big for my chart. I'm sure it's big
Speaker 1: for a lot of other people's start listening as well.
Speaker 1: But yeah, when I last spoke about the astrology of
Speaker 1: my pregnancy solo on here, it was back in April.
Speaker 1: I just announced I was pregnant, and I spent a
Speaker 1: lot of time talking about how important six and twelfth
Speaker 1: house transits are when it comes to pregnancy, because it's
Speaker 1: such an experience that is about your health, like both
Speaker 1: your mental health and your physical health. And I mentioned
Speaker 1: how I had been like super sick with nausea in
Speaker 1: the first trimester when I had a ton of transits
Speaker 1: through my six house, and also a large part of
Speaker 1: the pregnancy up until like seven months. I believe I
Speaker 1: had Jupiter through the twelfth house, and so I was
Speaker 1: pretty curious about how I would feel differently about the
Speaker 1: pregnancy once Jupiter finally left the twelfth and moved to
Speaker 1: the first, and I did notice a difference. It's almost
Speaker 1: like the fear of becoming a mom, the fear of
Speaker 1: giving birth, being in charge of a person, becoming a parent,
Speaker 1: that is no longer there. Like I just feel very calm,
Speaker 1: I feel more confident about it. I'm ready for this
Speaker 1: next new stage in my life. Also, as I get
Speaker 1: closer to the solar eclipse in my first house, I
Speaker 1: just feel myself like I'm ready to embrace this new
Speaker 1: era and this new identity. Whereas when Jupiter was still
Speaker 1: in my twelfth house throughout first trimester or second trimester.
Speaker 1: In a month of the third trimester, it was still
Speaker 1: a lot of hesitancy and like fear of what comes next?
Speaker 1: Am I going to be a good mom? Very overwhelmed
Speaker 1: by everything that has to get in place before the
Speaker 1: baby's born, and like everything certainly is not done yet.
Speaker 1: But I just like have this inner confidence that I
Speaker 1: didn't have when Jupiter was still in my twelfth house.
Speaker 1: And also I haven't had a ton of health issues
Speaker 1: in the third trimester. You would think, like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I guess I had heard stories about how uncomfortable it
Speaker 1: was and how I don't know, mentally challenging the third
Speaker 1: trimester is. And yes, like I can no longer walk really,
Speaker 1: I can't really leave my home most days because it's
Speaker 1: just so hard to walk places and feel good. But
Speaker 1: it doesn't like bother me so much. I don't know,
Speaker 1: It's like I don't feel trapped at home. It's weird,
Speaker 1: I will say, like the inability to get out as
Speaker 1: much and like needing to stay at home more and
Speaker 1: just feeling more tired on a day to day basis.
Speaker 1: That really came about with twelfth House transits, and I
Speaker 1: was so worried about what was going to happen when
Speaker 1: I had a Twelfth House mercury retrograde during this pregnancy,
Speaker 1: was something going to go wrong? And then just Twelfth
Speaker 1: House season in general. Even though Jupiter has left cancer
Speaker 1: my Twelfth House, it was still like I have a
Speaker 1: lot of Twelve House transits on the heels of that.
Speaker 1: As cancer season started, and yeah, it really was more
Speaker 1: about just needing more rest. I was scared that like
Speaker 1: the nausea and the really not feeling good every day
Speaker 1: would come back, and it didn't. So I feel like
Speaker 1: I've kind of learned, Okay, how do six House transits
Speaker 1: manifest a lot differently than Wealth House ones when it
Speaker 1: comes to health, And in my opinion, I feel like
Speaker 1: the six House is more about like dealing with these
Speaker 1: physical ailments that come up and I don't know, focusing
Speaker 1: on your actual body, where Twelfth House is more of
Speaker 1: just like, Okay, I need to pull back, need to
Speaker 1: conserve my energy, need to take a rest. Also, it's interesting,
Speaker 1: like First House transits too have a lot to do
Speaker 1: with like your actual body and how you look. And
Speaker 1: so I've always thought it was interesting how at the
Speaker 1: tail end of this pregnancy, I would have Jupiter transiting
Speaker 1: through my first house opposing my son and Aquarius, which
Speaker 1: rules my chart as my chart ruler, so kind of
Speaker 1: like a double first house like ascendant transit almost And
Speaker 1: when you have first house transits, you can kind of
Speaker 1: blend the meaning of the planet with like the themes
Speaker 1: of the first house, like your body, your appearance, and
Speaker 1: Jupiter is like such an expansive planet like makes things bigger.
Speaker 1: So a lot of the times people may notice that
Speaker 1: they do gain weight during Jupiter moving through the first house,
Speaker 1: or they just feel bigger, and it's just so literal,
Speaker 1: like I'm at the biggest I've ever been in my
Speaker 1: life with Jupiter in the first house. I wanted to
Speaker 1: bring that up because one of the questions I got
Speaker 1: on Zubstag was like, what transits are related to weight
Speaker 1: gain weight loss? And I'd be lying if I said
Speaker 1: that wasn't on my mind, Like how did a postpart
Speaker 1: I'm soon? Like when am I going to return back
Speaker 1: to my body? I miss looking like myself. But this
Speaker 1: is when it's helpful to know astrology and like get
Speaker 1: myself grace and not try to like force myself to
Speaker 1: bounce back immediately, like I know that I'm going into
Speaker 1: a first house Mars retrograde, Like I'm likely not gonna
Speaker 1: love how I look in the first few months after
Speaker 1: giving birth, and it's gonna take a while, probably until
Speaker 1: that Mars retrograde lifts in the spring of twenty twenty
Speaker 1: seven for me to be like, Okay, I'm starting to
Speaker 1: feel like myself again. And just like with any life transition,
Speaker 1: like becoming a parent and then dealing in that, with
Speaker 1: the aftermath of that, of like refinding this new version
Speaker 1: of yourself after having a baby, or maybe it's like
Speaker 1: you're moving to a new city and it's like how
Speaker 1: long does it take until I make friends or form
Speaker 1: a community? Like that's what astrology is so helpful with.
Speaker 1: It's like you're not going to be in this like
Speaker 1: lonely isolated moment where you don't know if you'll ever
Speaker 1: get to see people again or return to the level
Speaker 1: your career was once had. I would say that's a
Speaker 1: big worry of mine, is like will I have the
Speaker 1: same ambition with work after becoming a mom? And it's
Speaker 1: nice to look ahead into the future and no, yeah,
Speaker 1: I will return, Like those things will happen. You just
Speaker 1: have to give it time. It's not something that's going
Speaker 1: to happen immediately. It's like a slower build over the
Speaker 1: next couple of years. So I honestly, yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know what I would do if I didn't know astrology
Speaker 1: going into this postpartum experience, because no matter how hard
Speaker 1: it is in the moment, I can just know that, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's temporary, and there will come a time when I
Speaker 1: feel better about my work and my appearance and things
Speaker 1: happening in my life. And it also kind of allows
Speaker 1: me to slow down and enjoy the moment because even
Speaker 1: if I was choosing not to have a child, like
Speaker 1: my astrology is really not geared towards like professional success
Speaker 1: for the next few months. So it's like, no matter
Speaker 1: what decision I would have made here, it's still playing
Speaker 1: out like, Okay, that's something that's happening further down the road.
Speaker 1: It's not something I need to force in the moment.
Speaker 1: But it's also so cool to look back at the
Speaker 1: last nine months of this pregnancy and see how the
Speaker 1: transits of the sun and Mars through my chart throughout
Speaker 1: the pregnancy of really defined the seasons I've gone through,
Speaker 1: and like how I felt for like several week chunks
Speaker 1: at a time, like I found out the news that
Speaker 1: I was pregnant with the new moon in my fifth house,
Speaker 1: and then when stuff started to move to this sixth house,
Speaker 1: it was very health intensive and like that was all
Speaker 1: I could focus on, was just like trying to get
Speaker 1: better and feel okay in my body. And then the
Speaker 1: seventh house transits an eighth house. It was a lot
Speaker 1: about leaning on my husband for his support and just
Speaker 1: him being like the only person I was seeing during
Speaker 1: that time. And then finally regaining energy and wanting to
Speaker 1: show up and be more public about my pregnancy and
Speaker 1: be out in the world like putting out new work
Speaker 1: projects and finally having energy again with the transit of
Speaker 1: the Sun and Mars through my ninth, tenth, and eleventh houses,
Speaker 1: and then as the pregnancy came to a close, those
Speaker 1: transits started to shift to the twelfth house in the
Speaker 1: first house, and both of those houses have a lot
Speaker 1: to do with like taking time to be by yourself,
Speaker 1: like more alone time really, and then how this pregnancy
Speaker 1: will end in the aftermath of a solar eclipse in
Speaker 1: my first house, so it's like a new cycle is
Speaker 1: starting again. With the first house and all those subsequent
Speaker 1: house transits that follow. And that's something that will be
Speaker 1: so interesting to look at in my daughter's chart too,
Speaker 1: like how does her first year of life go? By
Speaker 1: just tracking the Sun's transit through each of these sides
Speaker 1: and houses of her chart over the course of a year,
Speaker 1: Like when does she have more difficulty sleeping? When does
Speaker 1: she go through a big developmental change? Because it's not
Speaker 1: something I have a ton of practice with studying astrology
Speaker 1: with like such young children, where like the themes of
Speaker 1: like career or romantic relationships doesn't apply at all. So
Speaker 1: I'm very interested in getting this different perspective on how
Speaker 1: astrology plays out for a baby. But yeah, enough updates
Speaker 1: about me. I want to get into the Q and
Speaker 1: A portion of this episode. So we're gonna run through
Speaker 1: a lot of listener questions. Most of them are not
Speaker 1: related to one another. There's a lot on the nodes,
Speaker 1: Like a lot of people have questions about transits to
Speaker 1: the nodes, So there's gonna be a whole section on that.
Speaker 1: But let's get into it. Starting with question one. This
Speaker 1: person asks, what's your opinion on common retrograde advice about
Speaker 1: not starting anything new during one. So for example, don't
Speaker 1: travel during a mercury retric don't sign a contract or
Speaker 1: start a beat, or start a business venture during a
Speaker 1: venus or mercury retrograde, et cetera. So I try not
Speaker 1: to place rules around astrology transits like yes, proceed with caution,
Speaker 1: Like would I plan my wedding to occur during a
Speaker 1: mercury retrograde? No, but like sometimes these life events are
Speaker 1: inevitable and they happen when they're meant to happen, Like
Speaker 1: I met my husband during a mercury retrograde. What would
Speaker 1: have happened if I had been like, O, it's mercury retrograde.
Speaker 1: I can't go on a first date, Like that's not allowed,
Speaker 1: Like then I wouldn't have met my husband, So it's
Speaker 1: not You don't need to like place so much like
Speaker 1: rigid rules on what you can and can't do during
Speaker 1: these times. I always say, like, when you are entering
Speaker 1: into something new during a retrograde, maybe be open for
Speaker 1: like the initial plan of what you thought you were
Speaker 1: getting into to change slightly. Like one example that comes
Speaker 1: to mind, I had a mercury retad happened in my
Speaker 1: tenth house, and I don't know why I decided this
Speaker 1: would be a good idea, but I had my agent
Speaker 1: send out my book proposal to publishers during this Mercury retrograde,
Speaker 1: and I ended up finding the publisher I went with
Speaker 1: during this Mercury retrograde, even though the contract didn't get
Speaker 1: signed until I think after the retrograde was over. But
Speaker 1: it was like I was really happy with the publisher
Speaker 1: I picked, but then like a lot of like what
Speaker 1: they had promised me up front ended up changing or
Speaker 1: not happening over the course of that process publishing my
Speaker 1: book with them. So it's not like what was agreed
Speaker 1: upon during the retrograde ended up falling through or going wrong.
Speaker 1: It just is kind of like, Okay, make sure there's
Speaker 1: like a laid out plan of what you're agreeing to,
Speaker 1: like if you are starting a new job or signing
Speaker 1: a contract or at least during this time. Like overall,
Speaker 1: I would say Mercury retrograde specifically is a lesson in
Speaker 1: having an open line of communication and going back to
Speaker 1: that example of like, okay, I went on my first
Speaker 1: date with my now husband during a Mercury retrograde. That
Speaker 1: brought up a theme of like I was really bad
Speaker 1: with communicating to people that I liked them or that
Speaker 1: I was interested in seeing them Saturn in the seventh House.
Speaker 1: I don't like to show vulnerability in relationships, so that
Speaker 1: when I had that Mercury retrograde come up, it was
Speaker 1: like an opportunity to change that way of previous communication.
Speaker 1: So you could also view it as that like an
Speaker 1: opportunity to rewrite the past, kind of like overcome past
Speaker 1: patterns and also just get very clear about what you
Speaker 1: want out of an opportunity that arises during that time.
Speaker 1: Mars retrograde, in my opinion, is a different story like
Speaker 1: that one. I would just be very hesitant about making
Speaker 1: any major life decisions during a Mars retrograde or in
Speaker 1: like the couple of weeks leading up to one starting.
Speaker 1: Like I've just known so many people who've like bought
Speaker 1: a home right as that retrograde was beginning, and then
Speaker 1: like weren't happy with that new home and new doubt
Speaker 1: or sold it shortly after as an example, or someone
Speaker 1: that was unhappy with their job and switched during the
Speaker 1: Mars retrograde, and then that job didn't pan out in
Speaker 1: the long term, and like a couple months later they
Speaker 1: were back at their old job. So with that one,
Speaker 1: in particular, Mars retrograde, I think it just makes it
Speaker 1: hard to be like, what actually do I want long term?
Speaker 1: Like what do I want to be putting energy into?
Speaker 1: What motivates me? And that does not become fully clear
Speaker 1: until the retrograde lifts, And then with Venus retrogrades, like
Speaker 1: I don't see a huge problem in like getting married
Speaker 1: Durnavina structrograde or meeting your partner during Avina structro grade.
Speaker 1: Like my sister is fully committed to her boyfriend and
Speaker 1: they've been dating for three years. They started dating during
Speaker 1: a Vinus retrograde. Again, it's kind of like that experience
Speaker 1: of how am I going to go about relationships differently
Speaker 1: this time around? How is this giving me another opportunity
Speaker 1: to look back at the past and how I've done
Speaker 1: things previously and learn from that and approach this new
Speaker 1: relationship differently. With that being said, the one thing I
Speaker 1: would avoid Durnavina this retrograde is like a haircut, Like,
Speaker 1: just from personal experience, I bet like all the time
Speaker 1: this doesn't go wrong during a Vino stretrograde, But I've
Speaker 1: just had too many instances where like beauty related stuff
Speaker 1: does not pan out well during a venus retrograde. So
Speaker 1: that's kind of the one note I would have on
Speaker 1: that one, Okay, and then we've got two questions on
Speaker 1: the nodes. One is I would love if you could
Speaker 1: touch on how a solar eclipse conjunct someone's natal north
Speaker 1: node placement might play out or its impacts generally. So
Speaker 1: I did do a whole podcast episode on the north
Speaker 1: and south node, so if you want like more in
Speaker 1: depth information on that, I do get into a nodal
Speaker 1: return nodal opposition this person. If you're having a solar
Speaker 1: eclipse on your north node, that means you are going
Speaker 1: through your nodal return right now. So really you want
Speaker 1: to look at that whole like year and a half
Speaker 1: long period that the transit north and south nodes are
Speaker 1: in the same sign as your natal north and south nodes,
Speaker 1: and how are you being redirected in that in like
Speaker 1: the that your nodes represent, Like what are those natural
Speaker 1: traits or life topics that you may want to lean
Speaker 1: into more to have greater fulfillment? Like the sign in
Speaker 1: which your north node is placed is really like what
Speaker 1: are you here to develop and get better at and
Speaker 1: where do you find kind of a greater sense of purpose.
Speaker 1: And then the house placement of the north note is like, Okay,
Speaker 1: what kind of themes do you want to lean into more?
Speaker 1: What topics do you want to invest more energy into
Speaker 1: learning about? And where do you want to like direct
Speaker 1: the sign qualities of the north node. And you may
Speaker 1: feel that especially intensely, like at the exact time of
Speaker 1: an eclipse to your north node, like maybe out of
Speaker 1: that entire year and a half long period those weeks
Speaker 1: surrounding that exact eclipse, you might be going through a
Speaker 1: more pivotal life change at that time, and that life
Speaker 1: change likely has to do with the topics associated with
Speaker 1: the sign and house placement of the node. So to
Speaker 1: give an example of this, I had a solar eclipse
Speaker 1: exactly construct my south node in twenty twenty one, So
Speaker 1: I know it's not the exact same, but it's still
Speaker 1: kind of like a huge life moment that is very
Speaker 1: tied into the south note theme, specifically of like releasing
Speaker 1: something in order to approach an area of life like
Speaker 1: a healthier way. And at the time of that solar
Speaker 1: eclipse on my exact south node in the eleventh house,
Speaker 1: so it's embodying those themes of like Eleventh House. And
Speaker 1: I used to drink a lot to feel more comfortable
Speaker 1: in social situations, to the point where sometimes I would
Speaker 1: get black out and end up throwing up in the
Speaker 1: bathroom at a bar. By the time I got to
Speaker 1: twenty eight years old, this was still happening infrequently, but
Speaker 1: it would still happen from time to time. And I remember,
Speaker 1: like right around the day of the solar eclipse on
Speaker 1: my south Note, I had another one of these incidents
Speaker 1: where I just woke up feeling so horrible about myself,
Speaker 1: like why do I need that much alcohol to feel
Speaker 1: comfort in social situations? And during that eclipse period, it
Speaker 1: was that was when I decided to stop drinking altogether.
Speaker 1: And I've kept that sobriety for the last five years.
Speaker 1: So really seeing how change implemented at eclipses to the
Speaker 1: nodes like is more long lasting. And a whole desire
Speaker 1: to make that change to stop drinking was because I
Speaker 1: wanted to be more comfortable being around people I didn't
Speaker 1: know in social situations. I wanted to like force myself
Speaker 1: to get over social anxiety without needing to get blackout drunk.
Speaker 1: So yeah, just to reiterate, it's like bigger changes going
Speaker 1: on that don't come around often, that are tied back
Speaker 1: in with the themes of your north or south node natal
Speaker 1: placement in your chart depending on Okay, as the North
Speaker 1: note getting activator, is the South node getting activated In
Speaker 1: the case of this question, you would look at the
Speaker 1: north node because you were saying you have an eclipse
Speaker 1: on your north node. And then this second kind of
Speaker 1: related question someone just asked, I'd love to understand more
Speaker 1: about transits to your north node. Honestly, go revisit that
Speaker 1: past podcast episode where I talked about it. I believe
Speaker 1: it's like everything you need to know about the north
Speaker 1: and south nodes. But again, like any transit to your
Speaker 1: north node, it is about bringing you closer to that
Speaker 1: greater fulfillment, greater sense of purpose that you're working towards
Speaker 1: over the course of your entire life. So like if
Speaker 1: you had transit Saturn moving over your north note, it's like,
Speaker 1: how are you bringing greater structure and harder work to
Speaker 1: the themes represented by that north node placement in your chart.
Speaker 1: Or if you had transit Saturn moving across your north node,
Speaker 1: how are you taking greater action on the topics of
Speaker 1: a North node, or having more courage to speak up
Speaker 1: about that part of your life. This next question is interesting.
Speaker 1: This person asks, are there any lesser known transits that
Speaker 1: are generally positive or can create big change but are
Speaker 1: less spoken about, like compared to an eclipse. I would say,
Speaker 1: like with more meaningful significant events in your life, you
Speaker 1: always have to have the presence of like a longer,
Speaker 1: bigger transit going on through your chart, whether that's like
Speaker 1: a Nodle transit, a Saturn transit, a Jupiter transit, or
Speaker 1: Urins transit paired with shorter transits like Sun, Venus, Mars,
Speaker 1: Mercury for that bigger event to get triggered. So, for instance,
Speaker 1: like it's unlikely you're gonna have a huge job change
Speaker 1: or career shift if you just have like the Sun
Speaker 1: or Mars going through like your tenth house. But let's
Speaker 1: say you also have like Urinus or the north node
Speaker 1: in your tenth house and the Sun in Mars meets
Speaker 1: up with that longer transit. That's kind of like a
Speaker 1: timing of when something more significant would take place within
Speaker 1: your career rather than the other years where those longer
Speaker 1: transits aren't there. But I will say, I never underestimate
Speaker 1: the power of like a new moon or a full moon,
Speaker 1: even though those are definitely more minor than something like
Speaker 1: an eclipse. I did a whole article on subsecond about this,
Speaker 1: But like years when you have newer full moons hitting
Speaker 1: on like exact chart placements, like the year of a
Speaker 1: new moon, hitting like the degree of your ascendant angle,
Speaker 1: or like a full moon hitting the degree of your
Speaker 1: natal venus, kind of noticing how that year overall might
Speaker 1: be a bit more significant for you or that specific month.
Speaker 1: Outside of this Q and I for this episode, I'd
Speaker 1: get to get asked a similar type question on sebsach recently,
Speaker 1: where it was like, I tend to always focus on
Speaker 1: the negative transits, like what are some positive transits that
Speaker 1: you really like? So maybe calling those out would be
Speaker 1: helpful here, But like in general, I do find like
Speaker 1: a better month socially or just like creative wise usually
Speaker 1: take place, like when transits are happening through the odd
Speaker 1: numbered houses in your chart, like first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth,
Speaker 1: and eleventh. I particularly love ninth house transits because I
Speaker 1: love learning, I love travel, I like researching into like
Speaker 1: superniche topics. It also gives me like writing inspiration, and
Speaker 1: so I also kind of feel like it's like what
Speaker 1: are your natural interests and what houses in the chart
Speaker 1: align with periods of the year where those topics are
Speaker 1: a bigger theme. Like if you're someone that is more
Speaker 1: of a creative person and you're trying to get back
Speaker 1: into that, maybe it's like, okay, when do like first
Speaker 1: or fifth house transits come along, because those might boost
Speaker 1: me in a positive way. Or if you're someone that's
Speaker 1: more social and like kind of having these periods of
Speaker 1: rest or slower activity aren't fun for you, you can
Speaker 1: always look ahead and be like, Okay, I know that
Speaker 1: I'm in my twelfth house season right now, but when
Speaker 1: the sun gets to like my third house that month,
Speaker 1: like I'm going to be so much more out and
Speaker 1: about and connecting with people as well as like eleventh
Speaker 1: house or fifth house, Like those are just going to
Speaker 1: bring up automatically more interactions with people. But then maybe
Speaker 1: you could be someone that is more of an introvert
Speaker 1: and you really value your alone time and you like
Speaker 1: to have that emphasis on exploring like spirituality and just
Speaker 1: like taking time to be by yourself, so you might
Speaker 1: actually really enjoy transits to your twelfth So just getting
Speaker 1: very clear on like what does each house represent in
Speaker 1: your chart and when are transits happening to those houses
Speaker 1: that would be supportive of like what you're trying to
Speaker 1: do at any given time. Next question is about Saturn.
Speaker 1: This person says, I'd love to understand how natal Saturn
Speaker 1: placements can shift your experience of Saturn transits, Like is
Speaker 1: a Saturn square always bad? Are there particular houses it
Speaker 1: can happen in which it would make less of an intense,
Speaker 1: slush challenging experience? Yeah? First of all, like is Saturn
Speaker 1: square always bad? I want to like remove the term
Speaker 1: like bad from our astrological vocabulary. No transit, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: is bad. Every transit is an opportunity for growth and
Speaker 1: realizing more of your potential. I don't really see transits
Speaker 1: as like good or bad, just as like different vibes
Speaker 1: that you're going through throughout your life. And yeah, I
Speaker 1: do think like it depends on where is Saturn transiting
Speaker 1: in your chart? Are you comfortable with the topics of
Speaker 1: that house? Do you have natal placements there? What it
Speaker 1: was the vibe of those overall natal placements. I recently
Speaker 1: gave a chart reading to someone and they had their
Speaker 1: natal Saturn in the six house and they're currently at
Speaker 1: their Saturn opposition, so Saturn's transiting ares their twelfth house.
Speaker 1: And I kind of asked them, I was like, what
Speaker 1: happened your Saturn return? Were there are a ton of
Speaker 1: six house topics brought up and they have said, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got diagnosed with a lot of these health issues
Speaker 1: at that time, Like I had to really find a
Speaker 1: structured approach to the way I took care of my body.
Speaker 1: And I asked, like, are any of those kind of
Speaker 1: intensifying your Saturn opposition? Is that a harder transit for
Speaker 1: you right now? And it was more like no, like
Speaker 1: actually kind of looking back at the Saturn return and
Speaker 1: the wisdom gained from those health experiences now trying to
Speaker 1: find a way to incorporate that into work or like
Speaker 1: a bigger interest she wanted to explore, so that different
Speaker 1: perspective of like if you also had natal Saturn in
Speaker 1: your six house, Like and the square is happening from
Speaker 1: the ninth house, the Opposition's happening from the twelfth, and
Speaker 1: then the final square is happening from the third, Like
Speaker 1: those are all houses that are different in themes from
Speaker 1: the sixth house, So it may not be that theme
Speaker 1: of like literal health crisis is coming up, but more like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm interested in like learning more about this aspect of
Speaker 1: my life, or how can I incorporate this stuff more
Speaker 1: into like I don't know, a daily practice. That being said,
Speaker 1: I do think there are certain houses where Saturn is
Speaker 1: felt more easily, where it's not making like harsh aspects.
Speaker 1: And again it's also like, okay, do you have natal
Speaker 1: planets in those houses? But I would say like Saturn
Speaker 1: through the ninth, the eleventh, the third, and the fifth
Speaker 1: are probably gonna be easier Saturn transits because they make
Speaker 1: a trime aspect to your ascendant and your descendant, Whereas
Speaker 1: when it's in the tenth and the fourth, it's squaring
Speaker 1: the ascendant descendant. When Saturn's in the second, eighth or twelve,
Speaker 1: it's hidden from the ascendant. So it kind of makes
Speaker 1: it hard to incorporate the productive nature of Saturn back
Speaker 1: into like your personal goals, like what you're wanting to accomplish.
Speaker 1: Then you can also consider what sign is Saturn transiting,
Speaker 1: like a Saturn return or Saturn square happening from while
Speaker 1: Saturn is in Capricorn or Aquarius or Libra might be
Speaker 1: more beneficial or productive because Saturn's in the sign of
Speaker 1: its rulership and exaltation than a Saturn transit through Ares,
Speaker 1: Cancer or Leo would be, because that's those are the
Speaker 1: signs of Saturn's detriment and fall. Yeah, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of different ways you could look at this, but like
Speaker 1: if I can emphasize anything enough, Saturn is not a
Speaker 1: bad planet. It's like, actually my favorite planet in astrology.
Speaker 1: It gets things done, It forces you to take on
Speaker 1: yourself in a more realistic way, and shud whatever is
Speaker 1: not working for you anymore and is not meant to
Speaker 1: last in the long term. So no more fear around Saturn.
Speaker 1: Next question someone asks is I'd like to know more
Speaker 1: about transits over your ascendant and your mid heaven. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: these are the most visible parts of your chart, and
Speaker 1: they both when they're activated by transits, especially bigger transits
Speaker 1: like in Eclipse or a Saturn transit or Uranus or Pluto,
Speaker 1: it's going to be a time where you're going through
Speaker 1: more visible like bigger life changes. The ascendant is about
Speaker 1: your identity, like how you show up in the world,
Speaker 1: what's important to you, what goals you want to be pursuing,
Speaker 1: how you want to be perceived by people, And the
Speaker 1: mid Heaven definitely carries some of that same context. Like
Speaker 1: I do associate the Midhaven a lot with appearance and
Speaker 1: like personal style too, and really thinking about like how
Speaker 1: other people view you. But the mid Heaven is different
Speaker 1: in the sense where it is kind of like, Okay,
Speaker 1: what are my longer goals, what career might be most fulfilling,
Speaker 1: what is my duty in the world, what are these
Speaker 1: bigger responsibilities I want to take on, But with transits
Speaker 1: to each like the Ascendant and mid Heaven, Like I
Speaker 1: see this often when someone is wanting to like move
Speaker 1: to a new place or pivot into a different career path,
Speaker 1: like do something a bit more major that feels more
Speaker 1: in line with like the person they're becoming and what
Speaker 1: they want to be doing for years. Transits to these
Speaker 1: two parts of the chart set you off in a
Speaker 1: different direction that will unfold over time. It's also worth
Speaker 1: noting like transits to the mid Heaven affect the icy
Speaker 1: and transit to the Ascendant affect the descendent, So when
Speaker 1: you're getting a transit to the Ascendant, you may notice
Speaker 1: the topic of relationships coming up super strongly too, whether
Speaker 1: that's getting into a relationship or realizing more of what
Speaker 1: you want and understanding, Okay, this relationship doesn't work anymore,
Speaker 1: and going through a breakup, and then with transit to
Speaker 1: the mid heaven, that can also be a time of
Speaker 1: like dealing with family and homestoff. So a lot of
Speaker 1: the time transits to the mid heaven may coincide with
Speaker 1: becoming a parent and like stepping into the role of
Speaker 1: mother or father yourself, or could be that like a
Speaker 1: lot is going on at home, like having to take
Speaker 1: on responsibilities with your own parents or your siblings, or
Speaker 1: moving homes and kind of figuring out where do I
Speaker 1: want to like lay down my roots and like establish
Speaker 1: a home life for myself. But with Eclip season coming
Speaker 1: up over the next few days, if you have Leo
Speaker 1: or Aquarius as your ascendant or your mid heaven, you
Speaker 1: can just know this the rest of twenty twenty six
Speaker 1: and into twenty twenty seven and early twenty twenty eight,
Speaker 1: like this is a more major period for me, Like
Speaker 1: I'm going through these bigger life shifts that are changing
Speaker 1: the way I think about myself. What do I want
Speaker 1: to be doing and how I'm like pivoting my life
Speaker 1: in a bigger way for the coming years. Next question
Speaker 1: we have is how do you manage the disappointment around
Speaker 1: astrology either is not happening as the planet seemed to describe,
Speaker 1: or maybe even when you see a stormy transit ahead.
Speaker 1: So when I answer the first part of this first
Speaker 1: about transit's not happening, maybe as you had anticipated they
Speaker 1: would have gone. And I think, even like astrology aside,
Speaker 1: there's this trap we fall into of thinking that in
Speaker 1: the future and maybe this is like when a certain
Speaker 1: astrology transit lines up, or just when something gets accomplished
Speaker 1: in our lives that will somehow magically be like a
Speaker 1: different version of ourselves and that our lives will be
Speaker 1: completely different, when that's just simply not the case, Like
Speaker 1: you're always going to feel like you. And so maybe
Speaker 1: that's what some of that disappointment is linked in with.
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, I thought this major life changed and
Speaker 1: I'd become a different person with an eclipse to this
Speaker 1: part of my chart, or like Jupiter moving through my
Speaker 1: seventh house would bring me my dream relationship and like
Speaker 1: all of my problems would go away when that's not
Speaker 1: the case at all. But I would say, like when
Speaker 1: I have built like hype up in my head around
Speaker 1: a transit and then like looking back, I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: that really it wasn't as big as I thought it
Speaker 1: would be. I just view it as like a learning experience.
Speaker 1: It's not like the transit did nothing or like nothing
Speaker 1: came of it. It just played out in a way
Speaker 1: that was different than I thought. And I take that
Speaker 1: information and I add it to my encyclopedia of this
Speaker 1: is what that transit means. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: have like a lot of disappointment around transits, like even
Speaker 1: when they don't play out as how I imagined. It's more
Speaker 1: just like, Okay, it wasn't the time for that specific event.
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. It just
Speaker 1: that wasn't the time. And you can kind of feel it,
Speaker 1: like when you're in the midst of that transit, maybe
Speaker 1: like wanting a relationship when like all of these other
Speaker 1: areas of your life kind of feel chaotic, You're kind
Speaker 1: of wanting to move, you're wanting to change careers. A
Speaker 1: relationship maybe wouldn't have fit in in the best way
Speaker 1: in that time of your life. And that's what's so
Speaker 1: great about astrology, Like it's all about patterns, and these
Speaker 1: same transits will come back around again, or a iteration
Speaker 1: of that trans as it that is similar will repeat,
Speaker 1: So there's always going to be an opportunity for what
Speaker 1: you wanted to have happened happen again. I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm way too optimistic a lot of the time, And
Speaker 1: that kind of leads me into the second part of
Speaker 1: your question, like how do you manage having feelings like
Speaker 1: when you see a stormy transit ahead, Like I'm always
Speaker 1: trying to think of like the best way a transit
Speaker 1: could play out, and like how it is an opportunity
Speaker 1: for personal growth, rather than thinking of all the things
Speaker 1: that could go wrong with that transit, Like I have
Speaker 1: transit Pluto approaching my son and Aquarius. I haven't been
Speaker 1: thinking about like all this scary, like hard life stuff
Speaker 1: that could happen with that. It's more like, Okay, this
Speaker 1: is a big moment in my life. That's a lot
Speaker 1: about like transformation and becoming a new version of myself
Speaker 1: and learning about like self empowerment, like how to speak up,
Speaker 1: how to be more of my true self than I
Speaker 1: have been in the past, So I'm always looking at like,
Speaker 1: what is the productive side of that transit rather than
Speaker 1: the negative side, And when hard things do end up happening,
Speaker 1: like someone dies or something doesn't go well in my
Speaker 1: career or whatever it might be, it's still like this
Speaker 1: opportunity for growth embodied by that transit that was taking
Speaker 1: place at that time, and going back to something nice
Speaker 1: that at the start I think is especially like around faces,
Speaker 1: like in my postpartum experience coming up, just knowing that, like,
Speaker 1: hard times are temporary, so if you see a hard
Speaker 1: transit coming up, it's not forever. That's why it's like
Speaker 1: so it's almost like unlocking a secret key to life.
Speaker 1: With astrology. It's like you can see when there is
Speaker 1: an end date to something difficult, like not everyone can
Speaker 1: understand that. That's why I love it. It's like you're
Speaker 1: not gonna feel that way forever. Also, one last tip
Speaker 1: I have is looking back at when you had, like
Speaker 1: if you see a difficult trensit coming up, looking back
Speaker 1: at when a similar transit or even that literal exact
Speaker 1: same transit happened in the past, and knowing, okay, I've
Speaker 1: been through this before. I've learned from that experience, we
Speaker 1: can do this again. And I find that when you're
Speaker 1: in the midst of a transit like that, it's often
Speaker 1: not as bad as you think it's gonna be. Okay,
Speaker 1: moving on to the next question. Would love to learn
Speaker 1: about the significance of kazimis and how they're different based
Speaker 1: on which planets are involved. So a kazimi is when
Speaker 1: two planets meet up at the same degree and the
Speaker 1: same sign, forming like an exact conjunction, and essentially that
Speaker 1: conjunction starts off a brand new cycle between the two
Speaker 1: planets involved. And for the most part, I'll get into
Speaker 1: an exception here, that cycle will not complete until the
Speaker 1: two planets meet back up again, and they'll meet back
Speaker 1: up in a conjunction and a different sign. But that
Speaker 1: will be like, Okay, that's that next new cycle beginning.
Speaker 1: And I was talking about this with my astrologer friends recently,
Speaker 1: like just looking back at like the Jupiter Saturn kazimi
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty when those two met up in Aquarius,
Speaker 1: and how there's like different links to these kasimis, Like
Speaker 1: Jupiter and Saturn, those are both planets that move a
Speaker 1: lot more slowly than like the Sun or Mars. So
Speaker 1: like you're not going to see a casini between those
Speaker 1: two planets for over twenty years. I think the next
Speaker 1: one is like twenty forty. I don't want to speak
Speaker 1: out a turn, is it? It's in the twenty forties,
Speaker 1: That's all I know. Okay, just double checked. It's exactly
Speaker 1: twenty forty. So these two planets they only meet up
Speaker 1: in a kasimi every twenty years, And when you're interpreting
Speaker 1: what a kazimi means for this specific one, it's like,
Speaker 1: what does Jupiter mean? What does Saturn mean? How are
Speaker 1: you combining the meanings of those two planets and seeing
Speaker 1: how their relationship to each other unfolds over those two
Speaker 1: decades that follow the casini. So like with Jupiter it's
Speaker 1: like education foreign cultures, like knowledge, sharing of ideas, and
Speaker 1: with Saturn it's like providing structure to those things, or
Speaker 1: like how are their new systems being built that have
Speaker 1: to do with what we know about and what we
Speaker 1: want to share and like learn about more in depth.
Speaker 1: And at the time of a cazini, no matter what
Speaker 1: planets are involved, it's like a new seed is planted,
Speaker 1: like a new idea is planted at that time, that
Speaker 1: continues to unfold until those planets meet back up again.
Speaker 1: So Jupiter and Saturn, like now they're at a trine
Speaker 1: to each other, Jupiter's and Leo, Saturns and Aris. So
Speaker 1: it's like we're starting to kind of see results of
Speaker 1: what was begun back in twenty twenty, or how are
Speaker 1: themes involving like systems, So we follow our structures we
Speaker 1: put in place or knowledge we have that was begun
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty, how is that unfolding in a
Speaker 1: bigger way the closer we get to the opposition between
Speaker 1: those two planets, So you can always like track the
Speaker 1: cycle and the relationship the two planets that just had
Speaker 1: a kazemi with each other they make throughout time, and
Speaker 1: like when they reach that opposition, that's kind of like
Speaker 1: a full moon phase between those two planets where whatever
Speaker 1: was implemented at the time of the cassinmi becomes more
Speaker 1: visible or realized when they come into an opposition with
Speaker 1: each other. On a smaller scale, this will be interscene
Speaker 1: to track with like the upcoming Mars retrograde, because if
Speaker 1: you'll recall we have the sun Mars Casini and Capricorn
Speaker 1: back in January of this year. Yeah, the Sun and
Speaker 1: Mars met in Capricorn, and then they will form an
Speaker 1: opposition to each other when the Sun moves into Pisces
Speaker 1: and opposes Mars and Virgo in the beginning of twenty
Speaker 1: twenty seven. I think that's early No, sorry, it would
Speaker 1: be pisc season early Pisce season of twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1: So you can always look back at like, Okay, what
Speaker 1: new idea came to me that had to do with
Speaker 1: the themes associated with Capricorn and also the Capricorn ruled
Speaker 1: house of my chart about where I want to like
Speaker 1: find greater fulfillment or put more energy into and now
Speaker 1: how does that get more fully realized or or like
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of reaching a pivotal turning point with
Speaker 1: that stuff by the time we get to the Sun
Speaker 1: Mars opposition a little over a year later. The exceptions
Speaker 1: to this rule where an opposition will not be made.
Speaker 1: The most common ones are the sun mercury Kasimis and
Speaker 1: the Sun Venus Cazimis. Like, Mercury will never form an
Speaker 1: opposition to the Sun, Venus will never form an opposition
Speaker 1: to the Sun either, So with those the cycle of
Speaker 1: like Sun and mercury gets reset when there's a Sun
Speaker 1: mercury casmi during a mercury retrograde, and then it reaches
Speaker 1: its full moon phase at the Sun mercury casimi after
Speaker 1: the mercury retrograde is over, and then it fades into
Speaker 1: the next cycle that will begin under the next mercury retrograde.
Speaker 1: And then with Venus you can do the same thing,
Speaker 1: like a new Sun Venus cycle will begin under this
Speaker 1: upcoming Venus retrograde when this Sun and Venus have a
Speaker 1: kazimi is at zero degrees of scorpio, and then that
Speaker 1: cycle will reach a culmination about ten months later when
Speaker 1: there's a Sun kazimi with Venus no longer retrograde in
Speaker 1: Leo next summer. And what's interesting also to track with
Speaker 1: these casimis is like, how are they dictating like trends
Speaker 1: going on in culture or big news happening, just like
Speaker 1: things with celebrity politics or whatever's happening in the world.
Speaker 1: How's that relating back to the themes of the sign
Speaker 1: and the planets involved in a kasimi. So it is
Speaker 1: a big deal, for instance, that the Jupiter Saturn casimi
Speaker 1: is there now in air signs, like it's starting up
Speaker 1: this new era of the world, where like air sign
Speaker 1: emphasis is just a bigger deal, so like the sharing
Speaker 1: of information technology community. And then, for instance, if we
Speaker 1: look at like on a smaller scale, like the signs
Speaker 1: in which a Sun Venus Casimi are taking place in
Speaker 1: throughout the year, how are like the themes of that
Speaker 1: sign a bit more relevant during that like exact year.
Speaker 1: So if we went back to like twenty twenty three
Speaker 1: when there was a sun Venus Casmi and Leo, when
Speaker 1: Venus was retrograde that year twenty twenty three, it was
Speaker 1: like the summer of like the celebrity breakup and it
Speaker 1: was like all these like high profile like reality TV
Speaker 1: breakups stuff in the entertainment industry, Like that's very Leo themed,
Speaker 1: Whereas like a Sun Venus Casmi and Scorpio happening in
Speaker 1: a couple of months from now, that's much more subtle
Speaker 1: and like also a lot more I don't know, emotionally intense.
Speaker 1: Like I feel like it's gonna be a lot about
Speaker 1: what do I value in relationships? How do I shed
Speaker 1: myself from these patterns and habits I keep engaging in
Speaker 1: in my relationships that type of like deeper introspection. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is a complex question. I feel like I need
Speaker 1: a whole podcast episode to go into this, but I
Speaker 1: hope this helped. Okay a couple more questions to in
Speaker 1: this episode. Someone said, would love your perspective on astrocartography.
Speaker 1: I see a lot of astrologers talk about it, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's truth to it, But as an Aquarius stellium,
Speaker 1: it definitely makes me spiral, like, what do you mean
Speaker 1: I need to be in a certain area to activate
Speaker 1: certain parts of my chart. It kind of makes me
Speaker 1: feel trapped if I'm not able to travel to a
Speaker 1: certain location. I'm gonna give a hot take. I am
Speaker 1: over astro cartography. I think it is such a clickbaity
Speaker 1: thing that people talk about on social media just to
Speaker 1: get views. And I don't think you need to travel
Speaker 1: anywhere for stuff to happen in your life. You could
Speaker 1: be anywhere in the world. The transits are still gonna
Speaker 1: play out in a similar way for you. You like,
Speaker 1: can't outrun your life in that way. I guess what
Speaker 1: I do find it helpful with and I look more
Speaker 1: at a relocation chart rather than lines on a map. Astracartography.
Speaker 1: So you can find a relocation chart on astro dot
Speaker 1: com as like one of the chart selections, and it
Speaker 1: shows like how the planets reposition themselves around your chart,
Speaker 1: like full birth chart with your natal planets move to
Speaker 1: different houses based on like where you're relocating in the world.
Speaker 1: It just kind of gives a vibe of like, how
Speaker 1: what are your priorities when you're living somewhere. What's like
Speaker 1: the general vibe you're feeling. It's not that you necessarily
Speaker 1: need to go there for those things to happen, but
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of like, Okay, why am I naturally
Speaker 1: drawn to this area of the world. With anything in astrology,
Speaker 1: like with transits or solar returns, whatever it might be,
Speaker 1: astracarotography falls into this category two. You're not You don't
Speaker 1: need to think that hard into it. You don't need
Speaker 1: to try to force something to happen just because you
Speaker 1: think you're reading it away through a chart, Like you
Speaker 1: will naturally want to go vacation or set up your
Speaker 1: home life or have career opportunities come through in specific
Speaker 1: areas of the world. It's not something you need to
Speaker 1: like seek out and like fixate on your chart is
Speaker 1: going to naturally get activated, and you're gonna have career
Speaker 1: timing and a time for relationships or having kids or
Speaker 1: dealing with family stuff based on when transits and progressions
Speaker 1: and other timing stuff activate your chart over time. You
Speaker 1: don't need to like relocate to another city to see
Speaker 1: that stuff happen. Okay, and then I'm just gonna end
Speaker 1: with like some rapid fire. This person asks me like
Speaker 1: four kind of random questions I'll answer really quickly to
Speaker 1: wrap this up. The verses, are there any specific astrology
Speaker 1: related rituals or do you have any traditions related to
Speaker 1: certain transits or moon phases? Honestly, I'm not really a
Speaker 1: ritual person. A lot of like my awareness of astrology
Speaker 1: is just something I do mentally, Like I'm just always
Speaker 1: aware of where the planets are at any given moment
Speaker 1: in time and what that means for me. Maybe I
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe I'd be calmer if I engaged in
Speaker 1: rituals or things like that, but I kind of just
Speaker 1: like to acknowledge a transit and be like, okay, this
Speaker 1: is the vibe for today's a full moon. Or I
Speaker 1: like to like look at the moon as it goes
Speaker 1: through the phases in the sky, especially like when you
Speaker 1: can see it going from like crescent to a full
Speaker 1: moon at that time of the month. I will say,
Speaker 1: like if there is a huge transit to my chart,
Speaker 1: maybe like setting an attention Like I remember when I
Speaker 1: had the Jupiter Saturn conjunction and Aquarius happened in my
Speaker 1: seventh house, and I remember just like taking a moment
Speaker 1: to myself and being like I'm gonna do relationships differently,
Speaker 1: Like I'm done engaging in these patterns like with my
Speaker 1: Saturn return starting in the seventh house. I want to
Speaker 1: have a healthy relationship and commitment with someone and just
Speaker 1: kind of making a vow to myself in that way
Speaker 1: and then just seeing how it played out over time
Speaker 1: and actually did work. So yeah, I would say more
Speaker 1: just like kind of mentally acknowledge things happening. Next question
Speaker 1: is which are the twelve zodiac signs do you think
Speaker 1: are the most misunderstood and how would you defend them.
Speaker 1: I think Gemini and Scorpio get the most hate. I
Speaker 1: did a post on Instagram a couple months back that
Speaker 1: was like strengths of every sign, and I would say,
Speaker 1: like how I would defend Gemini. I know it gets
Speaker 1: that like criticism of being two faced, but I would
Speaker 1: say Semini is such a good communication based sign, like
Speaker 1: they're easily able to like adapt to new situations and
Speaker 1: go with the flow. Like they're not like very rigid
Speaker 1: and I need to have it done and I need
Speaker 1: to have this certain plan laid out, like if change
Speaker 1: comes up, they can easily adapt to that and figure
Speaker 1: things out and kind of learn on the go. And
Speaker 1: then maybe the main criticism with Scorpio, I would say,
Speaker 1: would be like too controlling or like secretive. But I
Speaker 1: mean I would say Scorpio is just like very intuitive,
Speaker 1: and they don't want to they don't want to like
Speaker 1: show their emotions easily, like it takes some time. But
Speaker 1: they just have that natural skill of being able to
Speaker 1: read people and kind of also just like understand what
Speaker 1: someone's going through, like just like a keen observer of
Speaker 1: like human behavior, and just able to kind of be
Speaker 1: strong when problems do arise. I would say that's their
Speaker 1: biggest strength. Third one is would you consider doing global
Speaker 1: astrology tour meet and greet workshops, et cetera. I mean, yes,
Speaker 1: I love doing in person workshops. I think there has
Speaker 1: to be like a time and a place for like
Speaker 1: a global tour, Like just so much goes into doing
Speaker 1: an in person event. I think that's something that would
Speaker 1: come with like promoting another book or having like a
Speaker 1: whole team backing me. I think building up to that
Speaker 1: is a goal I have. I love like connecting with
Speaker 1: everyone in person. It makes it feel more real what
Speaker 1: I'm doing. But that is definitely for like a more
Speaker 1: distant future or like surrounding the next big project. And
Speaker 1: then they also asked, would you ever consider putting out
Speaker 1: physical astrology merch like planners, journals, et cetera. Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: thought about that, especially like a transit planner. I just
Speaker 1: I really want to write a second book first before
Speaker 1: I get into something like a product. Writing a book
Speaker 1: and like sharing knowledge in that way I think is
Speaker 1: more valuable and what I'm more interested in then putting
Speaker 1: out like a product. But I'm excited to see how
Speaker 1: career comes back after having a baby. And for all
Speaker 1: fire sign risings listening like twenty twenty eight, twenty twenty nine,
Speaker 1: that's when our career is like, that's when things get going.
Speaker 1: So if your fire sign rising and just work is
Speaker 1: it just hasn't been happening recently, it's just not a priority.
Speaker 1: Give it like a year, year and a half, you're
Speaker 1: going to start to be a lot busier and like
Speaker 1: goals are going to be getting accomplished and work opportunities
Speaker 1: are going to start to pop up in a bigger
Speaker 1: way again. But that is where I'll leave you, guys,
Speaker 1: thank you for listening to this episode. And what is
Speaker 1: on the agenda for next week? I think I have, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I actually have my astrologer friend Megan Rose on the podcast.
Speaker 1: We're going to be talking a lot about like sinistry
Speaker 1: and relationship astrology specifically, So tune back in next Thursday
Speaker 1: for that one. But I hope everyone has a great
Speaker 1: weekend and I'll see you next time.
