The celestial spotlight this week focuses on a powerful confrontation between our ego and our destiny as the Sun in Virgo opposes the North Node in Pisces. This cosmic standoff asks a profound question: are you clinging too tightly to control when the universe is calling you to surrender and trust?
Virgo energy naturally gravitates toward detailed planning and careful management, but when our egos are positioned here during Eclipse season, we may find ourselves refusing to relinquish control even when clearly being signaled to loosen our grip. Meanwhile, the North Node in Pisces represents our collective growth direction—toward spiritual connection, intuitive knowing, and recognition of our interconnectedness. The tension between these energies creates the perfect conditions for meaningful transformation.
Where this opposition falls in your natal chart reveals crucial information about which life areas are ripe for this balancing act. Whether it's relationships, career, health, or finances, the cosmos is highlighting where you need to find middle ground between micromanaging and complete surrender. When Mercury joins this opposition on September 11th, our thinking patterns become involved in this dynamic, potentially offering clarity through communication that leads to compromise. The week concludes with Mercury entering the heart of the Sun (Cazimi) on September 13th, burning away mental patterns that no longer serve us and offering exceptional creative potential for writers and artists.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello and welcome to Pisces Moon Astrology.
I'm your astrologer, kateLeonard, and I'm excited to
explore the stars with you.
Hi everyone, welcome to theweek of September 7th through
September 13th.
And of course, what that meansis this is Eclipse Week, but I'm
(00:25):
not actually talking about theeclipse, since I covered that
last week.
But, yeah, it's a time, right,it's a time, let's get into it.
Okay, before I start talkingabout the planets, I've got two
specials and an announcementthat I'm going to do very, very
(00:45):
quickly and please stay with me.
They're important.
One book, a reading with me.
Any one of my readings.
Go over toPiscesMoonAstrologycom and you
can see what I offer.
If you haven't done your natalchart, boy, this is the time to
do it.

(01:06):
appointment by the 13th, youjust have to book and pay by the
13th.
You get 20% off.
I never do this and littlepreview of coming attractions.
Unfortunately, after the firstof the year, my prices are going
to go up just a bit.
I also never do that, but it isfinally necessary.
(01:28):
So this is the time to grab it.
This is the cheapest myreadings are ever going to be,
if you've been wanting to getthat natal chart done or
anything else, have a singlequestion want your medical
reading done?
Whatever it is, go over to thewebsite, see what I offer and
get on the books.
The other special going on rightnow is I am partnering with a
(01:51):
dear friend and an amazingpsychic and spiritual force in
the world, anastasia thespiritual goth.
If you don't follow her onsocial media, she's still out
there in all the spaces.
She is the Spiritual Goth.
Anyway, she and I are gettingtogether for a combined special
(02:13):
this is also a book by September13th and what you get is 30
minutes of tarot with Anastasiaand I promise you she reads
tarot for me, even though I readtarot as well.
I go to her and it's more thanjust a few cards laid out.
Okay, it's a big experience 30minutes with her and 30 minutes
(02:37):
with me, and that is going for$222.
Another really good price and areally good opportunity.
You can find her atthespiritualgothcom and I'll try
to remember to put the link inthe show notes below if I forget
to do that or for some reasoncan't.
The link is definitely on mysub stack, but she's
(02:58):
thespiritualgothcom and that'swhere we're booking for that.
My other announcement is thatthere will be no episode next
week.
I may try to get up a littlemini, mini, mini bonus episode,
but the likelihood is we'regoing to skip a week and I am
sorry about that, but I am goingto an herbal conference in
(03:21):
Cincinnati.
I don't know if you all knowthat, but I'm also an herbalist
and a flower essencepractitioner, so if you weren't
aware of all of that stuff, nowyou are.
Anyway, I never leave town andI'm actually going to do that.
All right, I think that is allof the announcements.
Let me give you my little quicksummary of what's going on this
(03:44):
week, both what I'm talkingabout and what I'm not.
First off, I'm not reallytalking about the eclipse, which
is on the 7th.
This is eclipse week.
I talked about it last weekbecause it is my experience that
the two weeks leading up to theactual event are when we get
hit the hardest.
(04:05):
But absolutely, that energy isgoing on all week and the
aspects that I'm going to betalking about are certainly
related to it.
What I am talking about is thesun and north node opposition on
the 10th.
Okay, so the sun is part, thesun and the nodes are part of
(04:26):
the eclipse.
So this is still eclipse energy, but this is going to be after
the moon has already changedposition.
So this is the sun standingalone, kind of in opposition to
the north node.
That is our ego facing off withour destiny.
So it is a very, very big deal.
(04:48):
Then, the very next day, onSeptember 11th, we have Mercury
move into position to face offwith the North Node.
So now we've got our brains,our thinking, our intellect
facing off with our destiny.
Like I said, this is all partof the eclipse energy, but these
are very specific energeticopportunities, all right, and I
(05:12):
think they're going to be quitebig.
Although are we going to feelthem as so separate from the
eclipse?
Not really.
I think what we're going to saywhen we're talking about it is
like, oh my gosh, that eclipsehit so hard, it did XYZ, and
that won't be wrong.
But these are sort of teasingout some of the threads so that
(05:35):
we can kind of get ready tonavigate through the specifics.
Does that make sense?
If it's easier to think of itthis way, we got a whole lot of
eclipse energy going on what I'mnot talking about this week,
but you might want to go lookinto it.
On the 12th, the Sun and Mercuryin Virgo are going to be making
(05:58):
a very nice aspect to Jupiter,the greater benefic in
exaltation in Cancer.
So wonderful time to share timewith loved ones.
It'll be a good time forsharing ideas, having heartfelt
conversations, and this is justgoing to be a time when those
(06:20):
get-togethers and thoseconversations whatever are going
to pay off in everyone feelingreally cared for and seen okay,
it's a beautiful energy and seenokay, it's a beautiful energy.
Then, on September 13th,mercury will be in the heart of
the sun.
This is Kazemi.
(06:40):
This is a very, very goodenergy.
Hey, you writers out there,this is a good one for you.
Mercury is writing, remember,and the sun is fame and
inspiration and all of the fireenergy you need to create.
All right, but you don't haveto be a writer to have this be a
(07:01):
big deal.
Mercury is our mind, it's ourthinking, it's our communication
.
Now, the Kazemi is super goodenergy, but what happens is
Mercury will go into the heartof the sun and everything that
isn't needed or is negative inany way, whatever, will just get
(07:21):
burnt away and Mercury will berefreshed and reborn.
Now, this is a fairly internalprocess.
So what comes of this?
You may not see the fruits ofit until Mercury becomes visible
again, because while it's soclose to the sun, of course the
sun is too bright it eclipsesMercury.
(07:43):
When Mercury is reborn andvisible, all of that refresh and
reset are going to bemanifesting and we'll be able to
see them and use that energyand see how it's playing out.
And now let's get into theactual astrology of the week.
So we've got the sun and northnode facing off.
(08:06):
As I already said, the sun is alot of things, but think of it
as our soul's expression in theworld.
It puts simply our ego, butit's also just kind of where we
shine in the world, our publicfacing self.
So it's a super important andsuper public space.
But because our egos are outthere and I don't necessarily
(08:30):
mean that we're all egomaniacs,but you know what I'm saying
We've all got ego one way oranother it is in an opposition
to the north node, which is ourdestiny.
It's where we're moving, wherewe're intended to grow, and this
is the transiting north node.
So this is for this year.
The north node is in Pisces.
(08:51):
Did I already say that year theNorth Node is in Pisces.
Did I already say that this iseclipse placement?
Right?
So the Sun is in Virgo, theNorth Node is in Pisces, and
that North Node, through thiswhole eclipse season and this
whole year, is where we're meantto grow.
Pisces spirituality go with theflow, rely on intuition.
(09:15):
Where are we meant to let go ofthings?
The south node, which is overwith the sun in Virgo.
That's that overthinking,paying attention to every little
detail.
And the other thing it iscontrol.
Virgos like control and it'sbecause they're really good
(09:36):
administrators, right, they'rereally good at taking care of
things.
And it's about taking care ofthe details and making sure that
everything turns out the way itshould, but with our egos there
, think controlling, thinkpaying too much attention to
detail.
Something will come up this weekthat is going to say no, go
(10:01):
with the flow, let go, you'rebeing too controlling.
Whatever it is, something isgoing to come up and make us
face this, make us confront thisPisces-Virgo dichotomy.
We're not going to immediatelygo.
Yeah, that sounds great, I'lltake the spiritual approach,
(10:23):
I'll let my intuition be theguide.
No, because we're going to haveego involved.
We are going to be invested in.
No, I got this, I'm going totake care of this, and something
in this situation is going tobe like loosen the reins, trust,
trust the universe, trust yourintuition, trust yourself.
(10:44):
We're going to be like no, no,no, I got this.
I got to do X, y, z to makethis all turn out right.
An opposition is tense energy,so this is not necessarily going
to be fun or easy.
But an opposition is alwaysasking us to find balance.
So nobody is saying just giveup your public persona, give up
(11:09):
your goals for where you want toshine.
No, this opposition, even withour destiny, does not say that.
But it's like can you find alittle balance?
Can you loosen up just a littlebit and trust?
Trust the universe, trust yourown intuition over your brain?
(11:30):
Yes, that's going to beimportant because, remember,
mercury is moving into positionright.
So can you trust?
Can you trust the other people?
Pisces is about union.
Pisces is we're all swimming inthe same ocean.
Can you trust that other peoplecan handle part of this?
So look at this opposition inyour natal chart.
(11:53):
Where is Virgo?
Where are you trying to hold ona little bit?
Where's Pisces?
Who occupies that area?
That's really important inHellenistic or ancient astrology
, which is what I do.
Every house is somebody orsomething.
(12:13):
Now, in modern astrology, it'sall us right, it's all aspects
of us.
They're not wrong.
But originally that's not whatthe houses meant.
The houses were the otherpeople in our lives.
So who's occupying Pisces?
Let me give you an example andif you want to look at this and
(12:34):
see this in writing, go over tomy sub stack, because I actually
write this out over there.
All right, it's just Pisces,moon, it's free, totally go over
there, all right.
So, for example, if Pisces thenorth node so that point of
opposition If it's in the firsthouse, it's actually we're
struggling with ourselves.
The first house actually is usin the birth chart, so it'll
(12:57):
mean that something about ourego and our inner knowing is in
some kind of a struggle.
Third house could be siblings.
Fourth house parents.
Fifth house our child orchildren in our lives.
Seventh house partner.
Ninth house teacher orreligious leader.
(13:18):
Tenth house boss.
Eleventh house friend.
Okay, who is that person who weneed to just trust?
And maybe let them have somesay in what we're doing or how
we're doing it.
Do a little blending.
Again, it's not about we justgo okay, you got this, my ideas
(13:38):
suck, I'll just go over in thecorner and cry no, this is not
what we're talking about, we'rejust.
How do we not fight for thewhole shebang?
How do we work in partnershipbetter?
Now you will notice that I didnot list all of the houses.
If your Pisces is second house,your issues this week may have
(13:59):
to do with money, some conflictaround money.
Sixth house is most likelyphysical health, but it can also
be pets, or even how youstructure your day-to-day work.
So, or employees, employeesalso show up in the sixth house.
The eighth house is eithergoing to be about debt, joint
(14:23):
finances or old traumas andfears that we're grappling with,
like I want to follow mydestiny, but I'm clinging very
hard to something that I can seethat's more tangible in Virgo.
I'm too scared to let go.
And then the 12th house.
I never talk about it this way,but y'all.
(14:44):
The 12th house has to do withhidden enemies, so those enemies
that we didn't even know wewere enemies, but it's also
subconscious baggage.
So, with that, who or what isin opposition?
Who or what do we need topartner with and share control
(15:05):
with, because this is going tohelp us grow and help move us
along the path that we're trulymeant to be walking our fated
path.
If you believe in soulcontracts, this is an area of
growth where we can move closerto fulfilling that soul contract
(15:26):
.
Okay, then the very next day,the sun will move out of that
exact opposition and Mercury ourminds, our thinking, our
communication is going to moveinto the opposition.
Now, often I would say, well,that sucks, and it could for
some people.
If you have a bad, a bad that'ssuch a simplistic way of saying
(15:48):
it If you have one of themalefics right there that's
getting triggered, it could be achallenging time, right, if
you've got Mars or Saturn, plutoyou know I hate Neptune,
neptune If you've got one of themore challenging planets in
that Virgo position, mercury maynot at first be so helpful.
You may find that you getreally stubborn.
(16:11):
So the sun, our ego, moves outand this very stubborn mind
moves in and you're like, ohhell, no, that's not going to be
for most of us.
Most of us, our heads are goingto come into it.
We're going to think it throughit.
(16:32):
We're going to think it through.
We're going to let go a littlebit of that Virgo overthink,
because Mercury is really strongright here.
He's in his own sign, so he'snow able to think really clearly
and use that Virgo energy in agood way.
So he's going to think itthrough, he's going to pay
attention to the details, but inthe positive sense of it right
(16:54):
and go.
You know what?
It's true, your idea isactually pretty good.
Why don't you take that andI'll deal with this other stuff?
Or because Mercury is also ourcommunication?
You'll be like you know what?
Why don't we have a meetingabout this?
I want to hear your ideas and Iwant to share mine, and then
(17:16):
you find compromise through thatwonderful, wonderful
communication.
So I think by the end of theweek we're going to be doing
those meetings, have thosemeetings of the minds and also,
depending on you, know againwhich houses are involved for
you and what issues are reallycoming up around this eclipse
(17:39):
and then around these two veryspecific placements.
I think this is also a time oflearning.
Mercury has a lot to do witheducation and so we may find
that after we sort of release alittle bit of the need to
control and again, this is notcoming from a bad place, this is
(18:00):
just coming from that Virgo Ifeel like I'm really invested in
this and I got it, and so we gointo that sort of control mode,
which is the shadow side ofVirgo.
I think there can be a placeeven where we have these
meetings, we have theseconversations, we entertain the
(18:21):
ideas being presented by theother person and we really learn
.
We're like, wow, you do it thatway or that's a really good
idea that I never would havethought of.
Let me add that to my toolboxmoving forward.
So I do think there's learninginvolved here.
Once we go into the middleground and stop clinging to our
(18:46):
one and only vision because,remember, the sun is also our
vision, right, it's what allowsus to see.
So once we let go of our oneand only vision and our one and
only way of getting there, Ithink there's real learning here
and I think that's part of thegrowth.
Now the other thing I'm going tothrow out there.
I've got two specifics here, sowriters.
(19:07):
Specifics here, so writers.
This is really a way of goinginto deep knowing Pisces, going
into writers groups, feedbackfrom beta readers, things like
that.
When we can re-see our projects, re-see them, see them with new
eyes, see them in a new lightFor everybody else, this is a
(19:31):
time to deepen our psychicabilities.
All right, I know a lot of mylisteners and a lot of the
people that I read for arepeople who either are full on
aware of their psychic abilitiesor they have those little
inklings.
Like you know, I've alwaysthought, maybe, but they've
never kind of dared to say, yes,I'm psychic, I'm going to go,
(19:55):
you know, develop this right,and it doesn't mean you have to
work as a reader, as a psychic,you know any of that but just as
a life skill, this is a timewhen finding the balance between
intuitive knowing andintellectual knowing is going to
(20:15):
be very, very possible.
And so what does that mean?
It's that I am nowintellectually aware of what my
intuitive abilities, what myintuition is telling me.
So this is a really good timeto pay attention to intuition
(20:37):
and really learn to rely on itand channel it, like recognize
your own intuitive voice.
I hope all of this was helpful.
I said this wasn't going to beabout the eclipse and it
certainly is, since we'redealing with the sun and the
node, but it's specific, right,the eclipse is going to hit with
(20:58):
a much bigger and much moregeneral boom, and this is
teasing out those threads to saylike, oh, this piece, this is
where I have to grow, so I hopethis is helpful.
I hope you're going to all run,not walk, and book one of these
(21:18):
amazing specials that we've gotgoing on.
I hope to see you over onSubstack.
Please come on over and commentso that you and I can talk.
And again, thank you so muchfor being here.
I really just can't tell you.
Probably no episode next week,don't forget that, and I will be
back as soon as I get back fromthe herbal conference in
(21:38):
Cincinnati, where I've neverbeen.
So I will miss you.
I'll be sending you good herbvibes and until week after next,
go out and seize the energiesof the stars.
This is truly my wish for youalways, and boy, we've got big
energy to seize.
(21:59):
I will talk to you soon.

The north node is in Pisces.
(08:51):
Did I already say that year theNorth Node is in Pisces.
Did I already say that this iseclipse placement?
Right?
So the Sun is in Virgo, theNorth Node is in Pisces, and
that North Node, through thiswhole eclipse season and this
whole year, is where we're meantto grow.
Pisces spirituality go with theflow, rely on intuition.
(09:15):
Where are we meant to let go ofthings?
The south node, which is overwith the sun in Virgo.
That's that overthinking,paying attention to every little
detail.
And the other thing it iscontrol.
Virgos like control and it'sbecause they're really good
(09:36):
administrators, right, they'rereally good at taking care of
things.
And it's about taking care ofthe details and making sure that
everything turns out the way itshould, but with our egos there
, think controlling, thinkpaying too much attention to
detail.
Something will come up this weekthat is going to say no, go
(10:01):
with the flow, let go, you'rebeing too controlling.
Whatever it is, something isgoing to come up and make us
face this, make us confront thisPisces-Virgo dichotomy.
We're not going to immediatelygo.
Yeah, that sounds great, I'lltake the spiritual approach,
(10:23):
I'll let my intuition be theguide.
No, because we're going to haveego involved.
We are going to be invested in.
No, I got this, I'm going totake care of this, and something
in this situation is going tobe like loosen the reins, trust,
trust the universe, trust yourintuition, trust yourself.
(10:44):
We're going to be like no, no,no, I got this.
I got to do X, y, z to makethis all turn out right.
An opposition is tense energy,so this is not necessarily going
to be fun or easy.
But an opposition is alwaysasking us to find balance.
So nobody is saying just giveup your public persona, give up
(11:09):
your goals for where you want toshine.
No, this opposition, even withour destiny, does not say that.
But it's like can you find alittle balance?
Can you loosen up just a littlebit and trust?
Trust the universe, trust yourown intuition over your brain?
(11:30):
Yes, that's going to beimportant because, remember,
mercury is moving into positionright.
So can you trust?
Can you trust the other people?
Pisces is about union.
Pisces is we're all swimming inthe same ocean.
Can you trust that other peoplecan handle part of this?
So look at this opposition inyour natal chart.
(11:53):
Where is Virgo?
Where are you trying to hold ona little bit?
Where's Pisces?
Who occupies that area?
That's really important inHellenistic or ancient astrology
, which is what I do.
Every house is somebody orsomething.
(12:13):
Now, in modern astrology, it'sall us right, it's all aspects
of us.
They're not wrong.
But originally that's not whatthe houses meant.
The houses were the otherpeople in our lives.
So who's occupying Pisces?
Let me give you an example andif you want to look at this and
(12:34):
see this in writing, go over tomy sub stack, because I actually
write this out over there.
All right, it's just Pisces,moon, it's free, totally go over
there, all right.
So, for example, if Pisces thenorth node so that point of
opposition If it's in the firsthouse, it's actually we're
struggling with ourselves.
The first house actually is usin the birth chart, so it'll
(12:57):
mean that something about ourego and our inner knowing is in
some kind of a struggle.
Third house could be siblings.
Fourth house parents.
Fifth house our child orchildren in our lives.
Seventh house partner.
Ninth house teacher orreligious leader.
(13:18):
Tenth house boss.
Eleventh house friend.
Okay, who is that person who weneed to just trust?
And maybe let them have somesay in what we're doing or how
we're doing it.
Do a little blending.
Again, it's not about we justgo okay, you got this, my ideas
(13:38):
suck, I'll just go over in thecorner and cry no, this is not
what we're talking about, we'rejust.
How do we not fight for thewhole shebang?
How do we work in partnershipbetter?
Now you will notice that I didnot list all of the houses.
If your Pisces is second house,your issues this week may have
(13:59):
to do with money, some conflictaround money.
Sixth house is most likelyphysical health, but it can also
be pets, or even how youstructure your day-to-day work.
So, or employees, employeesalso show up in the sixth house.
The eighth house is eithergoing to be about debt, joint
(14:23):
finances or old traumas andfears that we're grappling with,
like I want to follow mydestiny, but I'm clinging very
hard to something that I can seethat's more tangible in Virgo.
I'm too scared to let go.
And then the 12th house.
I never talk about it this way,but y'all.
(14:44):
The 12th house has to do withhidden enemies, so those enemies
that we didn't even know wewere enemies, but it's also
subconscious baggage.
So, with that, who or what isin opposition?
Who or what do we need topartner with and share control
(15:05):
with, because this is going tohelp us grow and help move us
along the path that we're trulymeant to be walking our fated
path.
If you believe in soulcontracts, this is an area of
growth where we can move closerto fulfilling that soul contract
(15:26):
.
Okay, then the very next day,the sun will move out of that
exact opposition and Mercury ourminds, our thinking, our
communication is going to moveinto the opposition.
Now, often I would say, well,that sucks, and it could for
some people.
If you have a bad, a bad that'ssuch a simplistic way of saying
(15:48):
it If you have one of themalefics right there that's
getting triggered, it could be achallenging time, right, if
you've got Mars or Saturn, plutoyou know I hate Neptune,
neptune If you've got one of themore challenging planets in
that Virgo position, mercury maynot at first be so helpful.
You may find that you getreally stubborn.
(16:11):
So the sun, our ego, moves outand this very stubborn mind
moves in and you're like, ohhell, no, that's not going to be
for most of us.
Most of us, our heads are goingto come into it.
We're going to think it throughit.
(16:32):
We're going to think it through.
We're going to let go a littlebit of that Virgo overthink,
because Mercury is really strongright here.
He's in his own sign, so he'snow able to think really clearly
and use that Virgo energy in agood way.
So he's going to think itthrough, he's going to pay
attention to the details, but inthe positive sense of it right
(16:54):
and go.
You know what?
It's true, your idea isactually pretty good.
Why don't you take that andI'll deal with this other stuff?
Or because Mercury is also ourcommunication?
You'll be like you know what?
Why don't we have a meetingabout this?
I want to hear your ideas and Iwant to share mine, and then
(17:16):
you find compromise through thatwonderful, wonderful
communication.
So I think by the end of theweek we're going to be doing
those meetings, have thosemeetings of the minds and also,
depending on you, know againwhich houses are involved for
you and what issues are reallycoming up around this eclipse
(17:39):
and then around these two veryspecific placements.
I think this is also a time oflearning.
Mercury has a lot to do witheducation and so we may find
that after we sort of release alittle bit of the need to
control and again, this is notcoming from a bad place, this is
(18:00):
just coming from that Virgo Ifeel like I'm really invested in
this and I got it, and so we gointo that sort of control mode,
which is the shadow side ofVirgo.
I think there can be a placeeven where we have these
meetings, we have theseconversations, we entertain the
(18:21):
ideas being presented by theother person and we really learn
.
We're like, wow, you do it thatway or that's a really good
idea that I never would havethought of.
Let me add that to my toolboxmoving forward.
So I do think there's learninginvolved here.
Once we go into the middleground and stop clinging to our
(18:46):
one and only vision because,remember, the sun is also our
vision, right, it's what allowsus to see.
So once we let go of our oneand only vision and our one and
only way of getting there, Ithink there's real learning here
and I think that's part of thegrowth.
Now the other thing I'm going tothrow out there.
I've got two specifics here, sowriters.
(19:07):
Specifics here, so writers.
This is really a way of goinginto deep knowing Pisces, going
into writers groups, feedbackfrom beta readers, things like
that.
When we can re-see our projects, re-see them, see them with new
eyes, see them in a new lightFor everybody else, this is a
(19:31):
time to deepen our psychicabilities.
All right, I know a lot of mylisteners and a lot of the
people that I read for arepeople who either are full on
aware of their psychic abilitiesor they have those little
inklings.
Like you know, I've alwaysthought, maybe, but they've
never kind of dared to say, yes,I'm psychic, I'm going to go,
(19:55):
you know, develop this right,and it doesn't mean you have to
work as a reader, as a psychic,you know any of that but just as
a life skill, this is a timewhen finding the balance between
intuitive knowing andintellectual knowing is going to
(20:15):
be very, very possible.
And so what does that mean?
It's that I am nowintellectually aware of what my
intuitive abilities, what myintuition is telling me.
So this is a really good timeto pay attention to intuition
(20:37):
and really learn to rely on itand channel it, like recognize
your own intuitive voice.
I hope all of this was helpful.
I said this wasn't going to beabout the eclipse and it
certainly is, since we'redealing with the sun and the
node, but it's specific, right,the eclipse is going to hit with
(20:58):
a much bigger and much moregeneral boom, and this is
teasing out those threads to saylike, oh, this piece, this is
where I have to grow, so I hopethis is helpful.
I hope you're going to all run,not walk, and book one of these
(21:18):
amazing specials that we've gotgoing on.
I hope to see you over onSubstack.
Please come on over and commentso that you and I can talk.
And again, thank you so muchfor being here.
I really just can't tell you.
Probably no episode next week,don't forget that, and I will be
back as soon as I get back fromthe herbal conference in
(21:38):
Cincinnati, where I've neverbeen.
So I will miss you.
I'll be sending you good herbvibes and until week after next,
go out and seize the energiesof the stars.
This is truly my wish for youalways, and boy, we've got big
energy to seize.
(21:59):
I will talk to you soon.
Bye.
