Cosmic Birthday: Eight Years of Daily AstroCat

Celebrate with us as Daily AstroCat turns eight years old! This milestone birthday episode arrives with the Moon in Scorpio, perfectly highlighting our collective fascination with hidden knowledge systems like astrology. The cosmic timing couldn't be more appropriate as we stand at the threshold of significant astrological transitions.

The powerful Mercury-Jupiter conjunction dominates today's sky, explaining why everything feels amplified and expansive. But major change is imminent – Mercury enters Cancer tonight, shifting our collective thought patterns from the scattered, sometimes frantic Gemini energy to more intuitive, purposeful Cancer terrain. Unlike the "absent-minded professor" quality of certain Mercury placements, Cancer's cardinal energy provides solid ground for new ideas rooted in emotional intelligence.

What makes this transition particularly significant is Jupiter's imminent entry into Cancer tomorrow, further amplifying this intuitive approach to growth. For creative folks – AstroCat's primary audience – this celestial shift offers a valuable opportunity to tap into emotional intelligence as a guiding force for artistic endeavors. The message is clear: stop the "flipping and flopping" that characterized recent weeks. Now is the time for decisiveness. As Shane puts it: "You are or you're not. You're doing or you're not doing."

Whether you're a longtime AstroCat follower or just discovering us in our eighth year, this episode provides valuable cosmic navigation tools for creative minds. Subscribe to Daily AstroCat for consistent astrological guidance tailored specifically for creators, makers, and dreamers looking to align with the cosmic flow and enhance their creative practice.

All right.

It's the birthday episode.
That's right.
Eight years this is startingour eighth year of doing
dailyastercatcom.
Now, up until recently, I'vebeen pretty consistent and not
very missing very, very many.
So we're actually getting backto that because we're getting to
some different things.

(00:20):
Right, we had a bunch ofdifferent things going on around
here and we're here, so let'sgo.
Let's go with today.
Today happens to also be myson's birthday and, yeah, you're
not going to see him runningaround in the background anyway
anywhere is because he's in hisforties.
But there we go Now.

(00:40):
You know.
Right, so it's Sunday and themoon's going to be in Scorpio
all day long.
Happy birthday, to know.
Right, so it's Sunday and themoon's going to be in Scorpio

Happy birthday to us.
Right, the very first Astro Catwas produced on this day.
Right, that's right.
So this is starting our eighthyear.
Now, scorpio moons highlight ourinterest in occult or hidden
things.
Right, astrology, what we'redoing here?

(01:03):
Right, what I got going on allover the place?
Right, astrology is one ofthose hidden gems.
It's a way for you to go findthe flow, discover the flow and
go with it, right, we can findout what the cosmic flow is, how
we're supposed to be workingNow.
Astrocat has always been set upfor creative folks and that's

(01:26):
by design.
Okay, we want to talk aboutcreativity.
We want to talk about whatinspires.
We want to talk about what wedo in our free time.
We don't want to talk about thework day, we don't want to talk
about, you know, um, it's aboutmundane astrology.
But we don't really talk aboutevents because, boy, events have
been kind of messy lately,right.
I I did point out those Geminiimplications of that aneretic

(01:50):
degree, that last degree ofGemini, right, the crazy degree
where things are just kind oflike that last burst of energy,
and it can be expressed in apretty negative fashion between,
you know, between big peoplewho think they should be doing
things not so big things, right?

(02:10):
Anyway, not going toeditorialize, not going to
simplify anything, breakanything down.
Mercury is conjunct withJupiter today.
That's some big stuff, right?
That's why all this stuff'sgoing crazy.
That's why the new shows aregoing to be going nuts, that's
why they're still talking aboutthis crap, even though it's
almost stuff, right.
That's why all this stuff'sgoing crazy.
That's why the new shows aregoing to be going nuts.
That's why they're stilltalking about this crap, even
though it's almost over.
Right, later on today, we'regoing to have a change.

(02:33):
And look, change is coming, farand wide change is coming, a
big change.
Mercury, jupiter, jupiter makesthings big, big changes.
Mercury, jupiter, jupiter makesthings big, big changes.
What you need to do is you needto be the change in your life

(02:55):
and around.
Where you're at Today's keywordbirthday, right, yeah, it
should be All right, and thecolor is a black t-shirt.
It actually says the keyword isemotional, but I don't think so
.
The keyword is a black t-shirt.
It actually says the keyword isemotional, but I don't think so
.
The keyword is a black t-shirt.
Now it feels almost desperate aswe're trying to cling on to
whatever it is that we'reattached to.
Right, we can, we can reallycling on to things and be like,

(03:16):
oh, my goodness, I'm justhanging on right, our heads want
to go, go, go, but we're in aplace where the flipping and
flopping that's got to stop.
Okay, you are or you're not.
You're doing or you're notdoing.
That's where we're really atright now.
That Gemini stuff came at usreally fast and there was all

(03:36):
sorts of stuff going on.
Boy, was there a lot of thingsgoing on here.
Look, you can see the lightbehind me right here.
Look, there's my fingerpointing, because yesterday,
instead of recording and doingall the AstroCat things that I
need to do, I actually gotoutside, cleaned the gutters and
got some of the windows cleanedtoo, and now we're washing the

(03:57):
curtains.
Normally there's a nice shadowbehind me.
Well, yeah, it's a nice shadowand it frames the face nicely.
Today I got that light comingin on the side and, who knows,
maybe it's a good look, maybeit's not all right.
So we're in a place flipping,flopping.
This is gonna feel very familiar, right, because mercury is

(04:18):
going to enter a water sign.
Mercury enters cancer.
Tonight there's gonna be aseparate show on that and it
will be airing.
Then we're also going to haveone on Jupiter and we're going
to have one for the week.
Okay, big commitments here,right?
This is going to feel moredecisive, though, and that's

(04:39):
because the Mercury in Pisces ismore like that absent-minded
professor.
It's kind of like.
Well, by the way, I wasthinking about this the Mercury
in Cancer is more intuitive,much more purposeful,

(04:59):
purpose-driven, because,remember, cancer is a cardinal
sign.
It's a great place for ideas tobegin, and these are going to
be ideas that are going to beintuitive ideas and they're
going to be just thought about.
Right, cancer is a sign of theMoon.
The Moon, in some respects,represents our tribe, the people

(05:20):
who vibe with us, the folksthat we really get along with,
and this is a great time tobegin expanding that.
Because Mercury is stillconjunct, jupiter and Jupiter
will enter Cancer tomorrow.
There you have it.
There's a big plot right there.
Right, today's flow is bestfelt rather than communicated.
It's the way that it's going tobe, right, we're going to be

(05:43):
feeling things.
We're not going to be reallytalking about them, although
that's what I have to do here.
Lots of words always accompanyexplanations.
Trying to keep minimum Mercuryand Jupiter's presence means
more words.
Look at the last week.
We want to be heard, but are wedoing the listening, the

(06:04):
necessary listening, and sendout your feelings, feelers, your
feelings, feelers and feelings,right, pheromone trails will
tell you where to go.
It's that moon and Scorpiostuff, right, pheromone trails
will tell you where to go.
It's that moon and Scorpiostuff, right?
In 1940, element number 93 wasdiscovered Neptunian, ooh,

(06:24):
neptunium, that's right.
And in 1625, giovanni DomenicoCassini.
He's an Italian-Frenchmathematician, astronomer and
engineer.
He discovered four of Saturn'smoons.
He was born in Perinaldo, inthe Republic of Genoa, and
that's all we got for you.
He died in 1712.
