Speaker 2 (00:27):
Hi everyone, Welcome to your astrological energy. I'm your host,
Karmen Turner Shot, and we are here to talk about
the astrological influences and energies impacting us for the week
of February twenty second through twenty eight. Last week we
had quite an amazing astrological lineup of transits that really
(00:52):
were powerful. So I know, last week we had a
new moon in eclipse. Last Tuesday we had we're into
the pre Mercury retrograde shadow. We had Saturn and Neptune
conjunct in aries, and we had the Chinese New Year,
(01:15):
which is now we've been in this Year of the Snake,
which we were shedding and letting go and healing and
releasing the past, and now we are in the fire
Horse energy, which I tell you what I can feel it.
I don't know about you. Guys. But I literally woke
up the day of the eclipse last week and I
felt just energized, and I felt like I was ready
(01:39):
to get up early. And then I just was feeling
more positive and I definitely could fill this fire horse energy,
which is more about you know, moving forward, acting on
our goals and things like that. So I hope you
guys had a good week last week. And with you know, eclipses,
a lot of faded, destined events can happen. I got
(02:01):
contacted the day of the eclipse from somebody about a
job thing and some news that was pretty interesting, that
was really positive news that wasn't expecting, And all kinds
of information was flowing last week that was new, and
I think a lot of things can play out definitely
(02:22):
now this week. You know, we are officially in pissy
season as of February nineteen, the sun is now in Pisces,
and you know, I want to tell you a little
bit about pisc's. Pisces are a water sign and they
are the twelfth sign of the zodiacs, so they're associated
with the twelfth house in astrology, which is the house
(02:43):
of spirituality, cosmic consciousness, collective, unconscious, you know, that Carl
Long Jung talks about where we're connected and have a
oneness with everything and everyone. Pisces are also the house
of It's also the house of service. And Pisces are creative,
they're imaginative, they're idealistic, they're romantic, they like to help people.
(03:06):
They care about people. But one thing Pisces lack is boundaries.
Because they're so trusting and they're so kind and compassionate. Uh,
they tend to believe and trust others very easily, and
sometimes that that naive and trusting nature that they have,
that that innocent nature they have can get them hurt.
(03:28):
And so I always tell people that are born during
Pisce season, when your son is in Pisces, that you
need to learn to have boundaries and to protect your
kindness and to be able to learn to say no
and to have clear, you know, lines and rules of
communication with people. And that can really help Pisces. If
(03:51):
you're not a son in Pisces individual, but you have
planets and Pisces, you're definitely gonna feel it this month
because there's a lot of energy in Pisces this month
and Mercury, the plan of communication is going to be
retrograde in Pisces, and that actually happens this week on Wednesday,
(04:13):
February twenty fifth. The plan of communication will be spending backwards,
is how I explain it, which means that it's energies
will be a little bit delayed. It causes delays, and
it causes It's like a time to reflect and redo
(04:34):
and reevaluate and reassess everything in our lives. You know.
It's a very powerful time. And one of the interesting
things guys about a mercury retrograde period is that it's
going to last about four to six weeks that the
energy will be affecting us. And we need to look
back to last year in January twenty twenty five, through
(04:58):
the year of all the retrogrades that were going on,
and to be able to understand what has been affecting us,
because a lot of things that happened last year during
the retrogrades, those issues, those unfinished businesses, all those things
are gonna come back in some way to haunt us.
(05:19):
I'm literally having it happen now. We're you know, issues
with my old job. I'm getting called about, you know,
and I'm not even in that job anymore. I'm in
a new job, but I'm getting asked for help and
people calling me and asking my opinion about things, or
I'm getting, you know, the same issue that I already
dealt with with someone that wasn't doing things, you know,
(05:44):
the way I thought. You know, we planned that same
issues playing out again with that same individual this time.
You know that Mercury's retrogrades, so we're starting to have
these these difficult conversations. It can be hard to communicate
eat when Mercury is retrograde, because it makes us feel
(06:05):
like we're introverted. It kind of turns our thoughts inward
and can and we may not even have the words
to speak and say what we really want to say,
and that can be difficult for us, especially if we're
you know, a big communicator, and I know for me,
I love to talk. So every time Mercury goes retrograde,
(06:27):
I just don't feel like myself. I feel a little bit,
a little bit down, a little bit heavy, a little
bit just kind of like I want to withdraw from
the world and just be peaceful and not be on
the phone as much. I don't even want to answer
my phone when Mercury's retrograde, which is not like me
because typically when mercury's you know, direct and flowing, the
(06:49):
energy's flowing. Well, I'm on the phone all day all night,
you know, on the internet on zoom all day all night.
But when mercury's retrograde, I kind of want to avoid
social media. I don't want to it on the computer.
I don't want to answer my phone and talk at
all or get into in depth conversations. So these are
all normal feelings if you're having them right now. They
(07:12):
may intensify this week and for the next couple of
weeks with this mercury retrograde energy. And you know, with
mercury being in Pisces, you know, like we talked about,
Pisces are very into escaping from stress and they don't
really like conflict, and they also get very idealistic and dreamy,
(07:36):
and sometimes they get a little bit disillusioned and lost
in a way where they don't really know what they're
supposed to do, or they have a feeling of like
I don't know what my purpose is, and you know,
they start pondering the meaning of life, you know, and
all these deep questions. So we may be doing that
during this time, which is normal, Like what am I
(08:00):
really in the job that brings me fulfillment? We may
be asking ourselves are we in the right relationship? Or
how can I get more intimacy and love or romance
for my partner? You know, all these piscy themes can
be playing out in our relationships. And when a planet
goes retrograde, especially Mercury, there's a couple things that people
(08:23):
often share with me. You know, they often tell me that,
you know, people from their past often come back into
their life and want to reconnect. So if there's someone
that you you know, you cut off, or someone that
may be hurt you, or or a relationship with someone.
It could even be a friend or a previous coworker
(08:46):
that you liked and everything was fine but you just
kind of lost touch, they may just reappear. And that's
very common during Mercury retrograde that people reappear in our
life and kind of hey, check in, how are you
have seen you in a while, So people that you
haven't talked to in many many years may be on
your mind. And this just literally happened to me the
(09:08):
other day. We were in Mercury shadow already and that's
about a week before it goes retrograde, which was last
week we start feeling the effects, and then of course
this Wednesday it is retrograded officially. But last week I
had a phone call out of the blue from someone
that I worked with about six years ago. Haven't heard
from them in two years. They called my phone, just
(09:30):
wanted to touch base, wanted to catch up. Had another
person contact me from five years ago, emailed me literally
again last week with this retrograde energy affected me and
asked if they could if I could do an astrological
consultation with them, and said they had my book that
(09:51):
I mailed them from five years ago, and next thing
you know, I see them post on Facebook the note
in the book in the little card that I sent
them five years ago and wanted to reconnect with me.
So those kind of stories are really neat, you know.
So there's some positive things that can happen with mercury retrograde.
(10:11):
It's not all about miscommunication and people getting upset and
not being able to share what they think or feel,
or we take people wrong, or we get a little
bit irritable, and maybe, you know, those things can happen,
but there's also some good things, some positive energies that
mercury retrograde can bring. It can inspire us to get
(10:34):
things accomplished, and all those old projects that we've been
putting on the back burner, I know. Now I'm like, okay,
I got to get my checklist, and I'm like I'm
on a mission. I'm like, okay, I got to do
this document, I got to do this, And everything that
I've been putting off at work is now like a priority,
and I'm like feeling this sense of urgency to get
stuff done that I've been procrastinating about or that I've
(10:59):
been delayed. So you're gonna really have a lot of
energy to get accomplishments and be productive and be efficient
with things that you need to finish that you've already started.
The danger about mercury retrograde, or the thing that astrologers
often warned us about, is that we need to be
(11:20):
cautious about starting or committing to anything new at this time.
And sometimes a job opportunity can actually be offered to
you during mercury retrograde, and it's okay as long as
you already were seeking out that opportunity before the retrograde.
So things from you know, a couple months ago when
(11:41):
mercury wasn't retrograde. You may have put in for a job,
you finally get an offer, you get a call, and
you're going through human resources to get everything going right.
A lot of times that's how it goes. Or you'll
be offered two different jobs during mercury retrograde that you
have to choose, or two different partners. You know, maybe
you're dating someone in some and from the past comes
(12:01):
back that you stuff feelings for, you know, and then
you have to make a decision. So just know that
whatever decisions that we make during mercury retrograde, they often
change as soon as mercury goes direct. I had this
happen last year, and I think I've shared with you
guys on the show. It's pretty crazy how many things
(12:24):
were happening in January twenty five, the beginning of the year,
the first retrograde we had last year that came back.
Every single retrograde cycle, I would get contacted about these
same three opportunities or issues that were going on, and
they never worked out. It didn't feel right, and I
changed my mind about it. I thought, you know, I
(12:46):
don't want to actually do this anymore. And that's normal,
So don't beat yourself up. This is a time to reevaluate, reassess, redo,
reflect and reflect means that we quit trying to force change,
but we just think about things a little bit. We
step back, and I call it step back and lay low.
(13:08):
So during mercury retrograde, guys, my advice for the next
four to six weeks is just a lay low. And
I'm going to be telling you stories about mercury retrograde
for the next couple of weeks on the show because
I know I already consens things are going to happen,
and I'll have to tell you just to validate. The
astrological energy is real. It's true, and that's why I
(13:31):
do this show, because it is about our astrological energy
and we all are influenced by the energies that are
going on in the world right now. So we're going
to take a short commercial break and I'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Welcome back to your astrological Energy. I'm your host, Carmen
Turner Shot, and we're talking about the astrological energies of
February twenty second through twenty eight. We were just sharing
a out the mercury retrograde cycle that we're going to
be in for the next four to six weeks. Mercury's
retrograde and the sign Pisces. The sun is in the
(15:09):
sky right now and the sign Pisces, and it's helping
us connect to our purpose and our faith. And you know,
I even saw this play out recently with my husband,
you know, out of the blue, you know, he hasn't
been to church in many years, and now the blue,
he said, you know, I think I'm going to go
to Mass. And I'm like, oh, okay, that's great. So
(15:31):
he actually went, and so you know, you start thinking about,
you know, the meaning of life and your purpose and
your spiritual path a little bit during this season. And
if you're creative and artistic, it's a good time to write.
You know, if you've been writing a book, you might
be really, really creative and have all kinds of ideas
flowing right now. You know. I recommend doing some automatic
(15:55):
writing for everyone out there to get a pen and
piece of paper, you know, not typing, but a real
pen and piece of paper in your hand, and just
ask yourself questions and just write, you know, let it
flow out. I find that it's easier for it to
do that when we write with our hand instead of typing,
it flows out better. And so there's a lot of
(16:17):
a lot of energy out there. And the tips for
surviving mercury retrograde are reflect, redo, renew, reassess, and just
really be careful what you commit to that's new. That's
my biggest message for you guys as we go into
(16:39):
this mercury retrograde. And make sure to communicate very clearly
in anything you do in writing or with communication. And
so if you have a very important email to send,
double check triple check that it actually got delivered, and
double check triple check before you hit scind that you
know you got all the spelling and that your point
(17:02):
is coming across the right way that you wanted to come.
Because people tend to misread. It's crazy during mercury retrograde.
How many times I'll go to read an email and
I see something a different thing that it meant, And
when I go back and reread it, a couple of
times I'm like, oh, that's not what it said. And
a good thing I didn't respond right away, you know,
so you might get a mediate emotional reaction to something
(17:23):
that is not a big deal, but you misinterpreted it,
so it can cause more little arguments in our relationships
with our family and our friends, and our partner and
our coworkers and all that. So just be a little
cautious everyone, and make sure you're very very clear in
your communication because Pisces energy, especially this mercury and Pisces
(17:47):
it makes Pisces are known to be a little elusive
and mysterious and a little bit secretive about what they
really think and feel. And so make sure that you're
very very assertive and honest and straightforward and up front
about anything that you're feeling. Okay, those are the big themes.
(18:08):
That's the big things. This week. I'm gonna talk a
little bit about the moon because I always talk about,
you know what signs the moon is going through each week.
You know, the moon changes signs every two to three days,
as we talk about, So at the beginning of the week,
you know, the moon is in tourists on Monday, okay,
(18:30):
the twenty third, and we're gonna feel you know, a
little bit lazy, a little bit you know, maybe slow moving,
want to relax, want to stay home and cuddle and
and just do what we want to do. Have some
good food, cuddle with our pets, go work out in
the garden, go for a walk, you know, get out
in nature, you know, things like that. Then the moon
(18:50):
will move into Gemini on Tuesday, and it'll be there
Tuesday and Wednesday, and that's gonna give us a lot
of pep, a lot of energy. We're gonna want to
get to move in We're to want to talk and
be moving, move and moving, getting things done, more active,
go for a ride, maybe, go out to eat, be
more social. We're going to be a little bit more
(19:11):
physically active. We're gonna feel a little bit restless, a
little bit excited, excitable, a little bit anxious. Okay, that's
normal to feel when the moon is in Gemini gives
us it's this air energy. It gives us this energy
of movement, okay, and and running errands and things like
that midweek is what you might feel like doing and
(19:33):
that's very common. And then towards the end of the week, uh,
the moon will be in Cancer. And cancer is all
about the home and family. So cancer energy is very nurturing,
very emotional, very connected to our roots, our parents, our
kids are our home, making ourselves comfortable, expressing ourselves in
(19:58):
many ways. And so it's a time to nurse ourselves
and to withdraw from the stress of work in the
world and to focus on balancing home life. So it's
not going to be a time where you're going to
want to like go out and socialize a lot. You're
probably going to want to just kind of rest and
stay stay home and take care of things around the house,
(20:20):
which is very common. So that's the moon's energies this week.
Cancer is you know, the moon rules cancer, So when
there's the moon is in cancer, it's in its natural ruler.
It fills it home there. And if you have a
cancer moon in your birth charter, you're a cancer sun sign.
(20:41):
You're really going to fill the moon when it's going
through all of the different signs. You're going to be
ultra sensitive to those cycles. So I just wanted to
highlight that for any cancer sun signs out there. Another
thing I'd like to share with you guys is I'm
going to be teaching a class coming up March fourteen.
It's going to be a three Saturday class for the
(21:04):
College of Psychic Studies in the United Kingdom, and it's
going to be from twelve to two pm Central, so
you know it'll be two hour course for three Saturdays,
and it's called Past Lives in Astrology. It's going to
be about the nodes of the moon. Astrology's nodes of
the Moon, which are are all about our sole mission,
(21:26):
our sole purpose, what our soul came here to learn
and to master, and it also sheds light. I'm going
to teach you about what gifts and strengths your soul
has already learned and all of the things that you
brought to this lifetime, and then what your soul is
here to do. And your birth chart is the map
(21:47):
of your soul. And so that north node of the moon,
whatever sign it's in and whatever house it's in, is
your destiny and I'm going to teach you all about
that in my course Astrology and Past Lives. Would love
for you to register through the College's Psychic Studies UK's website.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Hi everyone, Welcome to your astrological energy. I'm your host,
Karmen Turner Shot, and we are here to talk about
the astrological influences and energies impacting us for the week
of February twenty second through twenty eight. Last week we
had quite an amazing astrological lineup of transits that really
(00:52):
were powerful. So I know, last week we had a
new moon in eclipse. Last Tuesday we had we're into
the pre Mercury retrograde shadow. We had Saturn and Neptune
conjunct in aries, and we had the Chinese New Year,
(01:15):
which is now we've been in this Year of the Snake,
which we were shedding and letting go and healing and
releasing the past, and now we are in the fire
Horse energy, which I tell you what I can feel it.
I don't know about you. Guys. But I literally woke
up the day of the eclipse last week and I
felt just energized, and I felt like I was ready
(01:39):
to get up early. And then I just was feeling
more positive and I definitely could fill this fire horse energy,
which is more about you know, moving forward, acting on
our goals and things like that. So I hope you
guys had a good week last week. And with you know, eclipses,
a lot of faded, destined events can happen. I got
(02:01):
contacted the day of the eclipse from somebody about a
job thing and some news that was pretty interesting, that
was really positive news that wasn't expecting, And all kinds
of information was flowing last week that was new, and
I think a lot of things can play out definitely
(02:22):
now this week. You know, we are officially in pissy
season as of February nineteen, the sun is now in Pisces,
and you know, I want to tell you a little
bit about pisc's. Pisces are a water sign and they
are the twelfth sign of the zodiacs, so they're associated
with the twelfth house in astrology, which is the house
(02:43):
of spirituality, cosmic consciousness, collective, unconscious, you know, that Carl
Long Jung talks about where we're connected and have a
oneness with everything and everyone. Pisces are also the house
of It's also the house of service. And Pisces are creative,
they're imaginative, they're idealistic, they're romantic, they like to help people.
(03:06):
They care about people. But one thing Pisces lack is boundaries.
Because they're so trusting and they're so kind and compassionate. Uh,
they tend to believe and trust others very easily, and
sometimes that that naive and trusting nature that they have,
that that innocent nature they have can get them hurt.
(03:28):
And so I always tell people that are born during
Pisce season, when your son is in Pisces, that you
need to learn to have boundaries and to protect your
kindness and to be able to learn to say no
and to have clear, you know, lines and rules of
communication with people. And that can really help Pisces. If
(03:51):
you're not a son in Pisces individual, but you have
planets and Pisces, you're definitely gonna feel it this month
because there's a lot of energy in Pisces this month
and Mercury, the plan of communication is going to be
retrograde in Pisces, and that actually happens this week on Wednesday,
(04:13):
February twenty fifth. The plan of communication will be spending backwards,
is how I explain it, which means that it's energies
will be a little bit delayed. It causes delays, and
it causes It's like a time to reflect and redo
(04:34):
and reevaluate and reassess everything in our lives. You know.
It's a very powerful time. And one of the interesting
things guys about a mercury retrograde period is that it's
going to last about four to six weeks that the
energy will be affecting us. And we need to look
back to last year in January twenty twenty five, through
(04:58):
the year of all the retrogrades that were going on,
and to be able to understand what has been affecting us,
because a lot of things that happened last year during
the retrogrades, those issues, those unfinished businesses, all those things
are gonna come back in some way to haunt us.
(05:19):
I'm literally having it happen now. We're you know, issues
with my old job. I'm getting called about, you know,
and I'm not even in that job anymore. I'm in
a new job, but I'm getting asked for help and
people calling me and asking my opinion about things, or
I'm getting, you know, the same issue that I already
dealt with with someone that wasn't doing things, you know,
(05:44):
the way I thought. You know, we planned that same
issues playing out again with that same individual this time.
You know that Mercury's retrogrades, so we're starting to have
these these difficult conversations. It can be hard to communicate
eat when Mercury is retrograde, because it makes us feel
(06:05):
like we're introverted. It kind of turns our thoughts inward
and can and we may not even have the words
to speak and say what we really want to say,
and that can be difficult for us, especially if we're
you know, a big communicator, and I know for me,
I love to talk. So every time Mercury goes retrograde,
(06:27):
I just don't feel like myself. I feel a little bit,
a little bit down, a little bit heavy, a little
bit just kind of like I want to withdraw from
the world and just be peaceful and not be on
the phone as much. I don't even want to answer
my phone when Mercury's retrograde, which is not like me
because typically when mercury's you know, direct and flowing, the
(06:49):
energy's flowing. Well, I'm on the phone all day all night,
you know, on the internet on zoom all day all night.
But when mercury's retrograde, I kind of want to avoid
social media. I don't want to it on the computer.
I don't want to answer my phone and talk at
all or get into in depth conversations. So these are
all normal feelings if you're having them right now. They
(07:12):
may intensify this week and for the next couple of
weeks with this mercury retrograde energy. And you know, with
mercury being in Pisces, you know, like we talked about,
Pisces are very into escaping from stress and they don't
really like conflict, and they also get very idealistic and dreamy,
(07:36):
and sometimes they get a little bit disillusioned and lost
in a way where they don't really know what they're
supposed to do, or they have a feeling of like
I don't know what my purpose is, and you know,
they start pondering the meaning of life, you know, and
all these deep questions. So we may be doing that
during this time, which is normal, Like what am I
(08:00):
really in the job that brings me fulfillment? We may
be asking ourselves are we in the right relationship? Or
how can I get more intimacy and love or romance
for my partner? You know, all these piscy themes can
be playing out in our relationships. And when a planet
goes retrograde, especially Mercury, there's a couple things that people
(08:23):
often share with me. You know, they often tell me that,
you know, people from their past often come back into
their life and want to reconnect. So if there's someone
that you you know, you cut off, or someone that
may be hurt you, or or a relationship with someone.
It could even be a friend or a previous coworker
(08:46):
that you liked and everything was fine but you just
kind of lost touch, they may just reappear. And that's
very common during Mercury retrograde that people reappear in our
life and kind of hey, check in, how are you
have seen you in a while, So people that you
haven't talked to in many many years may be on
your mind. And this just literally happened to me the
(09:08):
other day. We were in Mercury shadow already and that's
about a week before it goes retrograde, which was last
week we start feeling the effects, and then of course
this Wednesday it is retrograded officially. But last week I
had a phone call out of the blue from someone
that I worked with about six years ago. Haven't heard
from them in two years. They called my phone, just
(09:30):
wanted to touch base, wanted to catch up. Had another
person contact me from five years ago, emailed me literally
again last week with this retrograde energy affected me and
asked if they could if I could do an astrological
consultation with them, and said they had my book that
(09:51):
I mailed them from five years ago, and next thing
you know, I see them post on Facebook the note
in the book in the little card that I sent
them five years ago and wanted to reconnect with me.
So those kind of stories are really neat, you know.
So there's some positive things that can happen with mercury retrograde.
(10:11):
It's not all about miscommunication and people getting upset and
not being able to share what they think or feel,
or we take people wrong, or we get a little
bit irritable, and maybe, you know, those things can happen,
but there's also some good things, some positive energies that
mercury retrograde can bring. It can inspire us to get
(10:34):
things accomplished, and all those old projects that we've been
putting on the back burner, I know. Now I'm like, okay,
I got to get my checklist, and I'm like I'm
on a mission. I'm like, okay, I got to do
this document, I got to do this, And everything that
I've been putting off at work is now like a priority,
and I'm like feeling this sense of urgency to get
stuff done that I've been procrastinating about or that I've
(10:59):
been delayed. So you're gonna really have a lot of
energy to get accomplishments and be productive and be efficient
with things that you need to finish that you've already started.
The danger about mercury retrograde, or the thing that astrologers
often warned us about, is that we need to be
(11:20):
cautious about starting or committing to anything new at this time.
And sometimes a job opportunity can actually be offered to
you during mercury retrograde, and it's okay as long as
you already were seeking out that opportunity before the retrograde.
So things from you know, a couple months ago when
(11:41):
mercury wasn't retrograde. You may have put in for a job,
you finally get an offer, you get a call, and
you're going through human resources to get everything going right.
A lot of times that's how it goes. Or you'll
be offered two different jobs during mercury retrograde that you
have to choose, or two different partners. You know, maybe
you're dating someone in some and from the past comes
(12:01):
back that you stuff feelings for, you know, and then
you have to make a decision. So just know that
whatever decisions that we make during mercury retrograde, they often
change as soon as mercury goes direct. I had this
happen last year, and I think I've shared with you
guys on the show. It's pretty crazy how many things
(12:24):
were happening in January twenty five, the beginning of the year,
the first retrograde we had last year that came back.
Every single retrograde cycle, I would get contacted about these
same three opportunities or issues that were going on, and
they never worked out. It didn't feel right, and I
changed my mind about it. I thought, you know, I
(12:46):
don't want to actually do this anymore. And that's normal,
So don't beat yourself up. This is a time to reevaluate, reassess, redo,
reflect and reflect means that we quit trying to force change,
but we just think about things a little bit. We
step back, and I call it step back and lay low.
(13:08):
So during mercury retrograde, guys, my advice for the next
four to six weeks is just a lay low. And
I'm going to be telling you stories about mercury retrograde
for the next couple of weeks on the show because
I know I already consens things are going to happen,
and I'll have to tell you just to validate. The
astrological energy is real. It's true, and that's why I
(13:31):
do this show, because it is about our astrological energy
and we all are influenced by the energies that are
going on in the world right now. So we're going
to take a short commercial break and I'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Welcome back to your astrological Energy. I'm your host, Carmen
Turner Shot, and we're talking about the astrological energies of
February twenty second through twenty eight. We were just sharing
a out the mercury retrograde cycle that we're going to
be in for the next four to six weeks. Mercury's
retrograde and the sign Pisces. The sun is in the
(15:09):
sky right now and the sign Pisces, and it's helping
us connect to our purpose and our faith. And you know,
I even saw this play out recently with my husband,
you know, out of the blue, you know, he hasn't
been to church in many years, and now the blue,
he said, you know, I think I'm going to go
to Mass. And I'm like, oh, okay, that's great. So
(15:31):
he actually went, and so you know, you start thinking about,
you know, the meaning of life and your purpose and
your spiritual path a little bit during this season. And
if you're creative and artistic, it's a good time to write.
You know, if you've been writing a book, you might
be really, really creative and have all kinds of ideas
flowing right now. You know. I recommend doing some automatic
(15:55):
writing for everyone out there to get a pen and
piece of paper, you know, not typing, but a real
pen and piece of paper in your hand, and just
ask yourself questions and just write, you know, let it
flow out. I find that it's easier for it to
do that when we write with our hand instead of typing,
it flows out better. And so there's a lot of
(16:17):
a lot of energy out there. And the tips for
surviving mercury retrograde are reflect, redo, renew, reassess, and just
really be careful what you commit to that's new. That's
my biggest message for you guys as we go into
(16:39):
this mercury retrograde. And make sure to communicate very clearly
in anything you do in writing or with communication. And
so if you have a very important email to send,
double check triple check that it actually got delivered, and
double check triple check before you hit scind that you
know you got all the spelling and that your point
(17:02):
is coming across the right way that you wanted to come.
Because people tend to misread. It's crazy during mercury retrograde.
How many times I'll go to read an email and
I see something a different thing that it meant, And
when I go back and reread it, a couple of
times I'm like, oh, that's not what it said. And
a good thing I didn't respond right away, you know,
so you might get a mediate emotional reaction to something
(17:23):
that is not a big deal, but you misinterpreted it,
so it can cause more little arguments in our relationships
with our family and our friends, and our partner and
our coworkers and all that. So just be a little
cautious everyone, and make sure you're very very clear in
your communication because Pisces energy, especially this mercury and Pisces
(17:47):
it makes Pisces are known to be a little elusive
and mysterious and a little bit secretive about what they
really think and feel. And so make sure that you're
very very assertive and honest and straightforward and up front
about anything that you're feeling. Okay, those are the big themes.
(18:08):
That's the big things. This week. I'm gonna talk a
little bit about the moon because I always talk about,
you know what signs the moon is going through each week.
You know, the moon changes signs every two to three days,
as we talk about, So at the beginning of the week,
you know, the moon is in tourists on Monday, okay,
(18:30):
the twenty third, and we're gonna feel you know, a
little bit lazy, a little bit you know, maybe slow moving,
want to relax, want to stay home and cuddle and
and just do what we want to do. Have some
good food, cuddle with our pets, go work out in
the garden, go for a walk, you know, get out
in nature, you know, things like that. Then the moon
(18:50):
will move into Gemini on Tuesday, and it'll be there
Tuesday and Wednesday, and that's gonna give us a lot
of pep, a lot of energy. We're gonna want to
get to move in We're to want to talk and
be moving, move and moving, getting things done, more active,
go for a ride, maybe, go out to eat, be
more social. We're going to be a little bit more
(19:11):
physically active. We're gonna feel a little bit restless, a
little bit excited, excitable, a little bit anxious. Okay, that's
normal to feel when the moon is in Gemini gives
us it's this air energy. It gives us this energy
of movement, okay, and and running errands and things like
that midweek is what you might feel like doing and
(19:33):
that's very common. And then towards the end of the week, uh,
the moon will be in Cancer. And cancer is all
about the home and family. So cancer energy is very nurturing,
very emotional, very connected to our roots, our parents, our
kids are our home, making ourselves comfortable, expressing ourselves in
(19:58):
many ways. And so it's a time to nurse ourselves
and to withdraw from the stress of work in the
world and to focus on balancing home life. So it's
not going to be a time where you're going to
want to like go out and socialize a lot. You're
probably going to want to just kind of rest and
stay stay home and take care of things around the house,
(20:20):
which is very common. So that's the moon's energies this week.
Cancer is you know, the moon rules cancer, So when
there's the moon is in cancer, it's in its natural ruler.
It fills it home there. And if you have a
cancer moon in your birth charter, you're a cancer sun sign.
(20:41):
You're really going to fill the moon when it's going
through all of the different signs. You're going to be
ultra sensitive to those cycles. So I just wanted to
highlight that for any cancer sun signs out there. Another
thing I'd like to share with you guys is I'm
going to be teaching a class coming up March fourteen.
It's going to be a three Saturday class for the
(21:04):
College of Psychic Studies in the United Kingdom, and it's
going to be from twelve to two pm Central, so
you know it'll be two hour course for three Saturdays,
and it's called Past Lives in Astrology. It's going to
be about the nodes of the moon. Astrology's nodes of
the Moon, which are are all about our sole mission,
(21:26):
our sole purpose, what our soul came here to learn
and to master, and it also sheds light. I'm going
to teach you about what gifts and strengths your soul
has already learned and all of the things that you
brought to this lifetime, and then what your soul is
here to do. And your birth chart is the map
(21:47):
of your soul. And so that north node of the moon,
whatever sign it's in and whatever house it's in, is
your destiny and I'm going to teach you all about
that in my course Astrology and Past Lives. Would love
