Speaker 2 (00:27):
Hi everyone, welcome to your astrological Energy. I'm your host,
Karma Turner Shaw and this is a show about astrology,
spirituality and energy. I am really excited today to have
a guest with me. Her name is Lucy Baldwin and
she is from Connecticut and she taps into the planetary

(00:47):
energies to help us become allies with this energy. And
as you listeners know, this is a show about energy
and how astrology is energy. So I think she's the
perfect guest to have on today. So welcome to the show, Lucy,
to chat with me about the astrology and the energy
the planetary energies of January twenty five through thirty first,

(01:10):
twenty twenty six.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Thank you for having me.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Absolutely, this will be great. So you know, the big
theme as far as the moon, you know, I always
usually start out with the Moon and kind of tell
the listeners a little bit, you know, my perspective, but
love to hear your perspective on the Moon's energies and
how it affects us, especially this week we start the
week off with the Moon and Taurus on Monday and

(01:37):
Tuesday the twenty sixth and twenty seventh. You know, what's
your perspective on that.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Well, you know, the Moon is the imaginal realm, and
it's our intuition, it's our dream space, and it's sort
of you know, it's the Moon reflects sort of the
other planets back to us, which is probably why you
start with the Moon, because it's kind of like so essential.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
And I think that you know.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
The moon being in Taurus the tourus is very grounding
and stabilizing, and so to me that feels like being
really landed in our emotions and really landed in that
sort of like imaginal world. And I mean, you probably
know more, way more about the signs than I do.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
But it's okay. I love your perspective. You know, because
a lot of our listeners, you know, they tune in
for you know, forecast, but also just spirituality and why
they're feeling the way they are. You know, that's kind
of what I use a strategy for is to make
it real simple. And your perspective is exactly kind of
how I work with it. You know that it's energy,

(02:40):
and how is this energy of these different cycles each
week affecting our mood and our thoughts and our mind.
And I know when there's a Taurus moon, I'm always
like wanting to vet, like veg out, be cozy, comfortable,
eat all my comfort foods, you know, because Taurus is
you know, are roll the senses. They like good food,

(03:02):
you know, beauty art piece can be a little bit lazy.
They like their comforts, right, So I feel a little
lazy in my own life during a touristman, and I
don't want to do anything. I just want to kind
of cut up with my pet and eat. I don't know,
what do you think about that?

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (03:18):
Yeah, it's like the earthly pleasures and the we seek
sort of earthly things for emotional comfort. Probably during the
Tourus moon. I feel like with the moon too. You know,
emotions move can move through us really quickly, like we
kind of you know, they can be very fleeting. It's
sort of like we're here and then we're here and
we kind of like, you know, like water, how water is.

(03:41):
And so, yeah, the moon changes so fast, and it
has this sort of like faster cycles, and so I
feel like the Taurus is really like a grounding sort
of like a place to recharge emotionally and really connect
with the moon in a moral and just be more
like present with our and yeah, in that kind of

(04:01):
like vegging and just sort of like cozy, comfy place.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Absolutely, yes, I love it. I you know, I always
say on the show that this this moon only you know,
goes through each sign every two to three days. It
is such a fast, uh you know, energy movement. But
every time when the moon changes, I feel it like
when the the other I was just saying on the
last show the other day, you know, when the moon

(04:26):
was in I think it was Gemini or something, I
was like NonStop energy, go, go go, And I had
been feeling really tired, and I'm like, get a bunch down,
like the moon is has to be in Gemini. I
just knew and I looked and it was and I'm like, yep,
I kind of know myself. And and that's why I
always share with the audience, is that all these energies

(04:47):
in the moon cycles can affect each of us differently
based on you know, I believe based on our birth chart,
but also based on you know, what sign they're in,
and and that that does affect us, even if people
don't believe it. You know, I always say, you know,
how the moon affects the tides of the ocean, of
course it would affect us, you know, our pets, us,
our emotions, and like you said, the moon is about intuition,

(05:10):
and it's a good time to tap into. You know,
when it's an earth moon, it might we may feel
more earthy, and then it's a water moon, we're more emotional,
you know, and air we're more intellectual. And fire we're
more bold and want to get active, and so you
can see kind of how that goes. So, yeah, the
beginning of the week, we got that moon and Taurus,

(05:31):
and so it's a good time guys just kind of
be cozy and stuff like that. We also on We've
got lots of aspects going on with the moon too.
The first two days of the week we have the
moon and Taurus is square Mercury and Aquarius. The moon
and Taurus is square Venus and Aquarius and then we
have some other major things we'll talk about that are

(05:53):
happening this week too. But then we got the moon
and Taurus, sextile, Jupiter, and cancer. So there's a lot
of aspects planetary energy's going on with this moon and Taurus.
What's your perspective on that? You know how those that
mix affects everybody and.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Well, I mean my thing.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
So what I often what I teach and sort of
encourage people to do is to work with the planets
and to sort of you know, bring them on as allies.
So when I start to feel you know, like kind
of like, ah, what's going on or you know that
feel those sort of like I feel like everything is

(06:34):
fritzing or I'm just sort of like in the that
a little bit, I will, you know, especially with the Moon,
it's sort of like maybe light a little candle and
make a little prayer to the moon or just sort
of like have a little moment of gratitude or connection
with that, you know, with the moon herself itself, and
sort of like you know, ask for some guidance, you know,

(06:57):
how how do I move through this right now with
the most ease and grace that I can find?

Speaker 3 (07:02):
For myself or how do I find comfort in this moment?

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, I like that absolutely. It's you know, we talk
about you know, manifestation with the different moon cycles and
you know, the new moons, and on the show, I
kind of focus on the new moon and the full
moons and how that affects us, and no, I love
I love that perspective. This is great, This is great.
And then as we move into Wednesday, the twenty eighth,

(07:29):
we have the moon and Gemini, and the moon is
in Gemini on Wednesday Thursday, and it is has it's
trining the sun Mercury and Venus and Aquarius, believe it
or not. And that's pretty that's pretty intense. Trins are good.
That means the planetary energies isn't astrology. That's how I

(07:50):
say it. The planetary energies are working harmoniously together. You know,
when when you have a square, that means there's a
kind of a block. There's not they're not playing well.
The energies aren't playing well. So how would you you know,
describe you know, that energy of the trines with you know,
Gemini Aquarius which would be Mercury and Uranus planets. What's

(08:16):
your perspective on that.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Yeah, I mean that's like a really heady sort of
moment to be in, like a very intellectual but also
like creative.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
You know Uranus.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
So traditionally Uranus is like an outer planet and it
and in like planetary magic, it refers and probably astrology
to it refers more to like the collective consciousness versus
like the personal identity and so between like that mercurial
Gemini plus the Uranus like coming together. It's like a
lot of mixing around of like sort of and rebellious

(08:53):
and sort of it feels a little mischievous if I'm
being honest and playful, but and maybe a little rebellious,
but like new ideas like novelty is kind of what
feels that feels like to me.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Absolutely yeah, I love how you how you said that
absolutely so listeners, you know you might feel a little
bit rebellious, a little bit you know, mischievous, want to
play jokes or you know, just do something, do the
opposite of what someone asked you to do. You know,
it's that you know, because Aquarius, you know, we're we're
in an Aquarius season now, so there's a lot of

(09:31):
Uranus energy going on. We have a lot of planets
which we're going to talk about that are in Aquarius,
and Aquarius is known to be the rebel, you know,
their archetype, the freedom lover, the innovator, the eccentric. You know,
this kind of uh, non traditional kind of energy you know,

(09:52):
is going on. And then Gemini is very intellectual, but
they're kind of restless and they're multitasking and they're all
over the place, you know. And and the a Quaerus
is definitely like a higher level mind, like they're high,
you know, more philosophical, I mean, more in their mind,
where a Gemini is more physical mentally and they're physically

(10:15):
moving a little bit. It's kind of that energy I
feel with it. So you may be a little restless
in midweek, you might, you know, I think the beginning
of the week you're maybe feel kind of tired and
and slow down at the beginning, you know, the being
the week you're not gonna be high energy. And then
you're gonna start feeling some energy. I think Wednesday and
Thursday and you're gonna get more active. I know, when

(10:37):
the moon's in Gemini, I'm go, go, go, and I'm like,
what the heck is going on, you know, because usually
I'm not feeling that that kind of energy I'm like getting.
I'm just like moving all day and that's not like me,
you know. So I'm looking forward to this week because
maybe I'll get some stuff done right and then you know,
as we we go in, you know, the theme of
this week again, there's a lot of Aquarius dominant energy.

(11:00):
It's about balance and independence and connection with others. So
just to give you a little snapshot of the planets,
and then we'll let Lucy share her perspective too. We
got the Sun is an Aquarius. Mercury, the planet of
communication and travel messages, the mind is how we communicate,
is an Aquarius. Venus, the planet of love, relationships, beauty,

(11:25):
is an Aquarius. And Mars, the planet of war and
conflict and destruction and battle and passion and intensity, is
at Aquarius. What do you think about that whole lineup
of that stellium of planet aquariums this week? I mean,
what do you think?

Speaker 4 (11:44):
Yeah, I mean it sounds like a visionary time, you know,
it sounds visionary, like a time to be envisioning. And
you know, when the planets are all kind of in
the same sign, it's like they're all sort of you
can kind of use them all towards the same sort
of it's like you're they're all directed potentially towards the
same thing, and so I feel like it's really behooves

(12:07):
one to kind of get, you know, in this case,
it's Aquarius. So it's like, what's a really sort of
aquarian direction that I can take it?

Speaker 3 (12:15):
And the Aquarius is like.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
The archer who usually who has like a direction that
they're going or no, nope, that's sorry, that's Sagittarius.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Well I'm not that's okay.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
They're the water bear.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
The water bear, right right right, So it's sort of like,
how can I what do yeah, what sort of aquarian
things do I want to put all of this? You know,
because Mercury is communication and the mind and speed and
travel and yeah, Mars is like getting stuff done and
like you know, going out and doing.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
But Venus is also receiving.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
And so when you have especially when you have like
Mars and Venus in the same sign, it's like there's
potential for creation in that big time because that's the
two sides of creation happening. And so yeah, just like
a lot of direction towards this aquarium. You know, I
would be thinking about you know, that might be a

(13:10):
good time to be visioning out like your next year
and planning and strategizing and yeah, that sort of like
higher up Aquarius, like scheming like that.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
It's true and a lot of times, you know, Aquarius
is the one sign everyone always. I have a hard
time explaining the eleventh House, you know, because that's the
house Aquarius is associated with. It's it's the house of
friendship in groups, and it's also the house of hoax
wishes and dreams and so you know, acquaintances, that's Aquarius

(13:43):
does rule that area. So I find that we may
be more social too, like networking, Like it's a good
time to network with people and you know, to get
those goals done, like you said, visionary, you know, who
do I need to meet? What groups do I need
to be a part of? What do I need to
you know, maybe take a class in you know, like
you're all about expanding your circle and you know, because

(14:05):
I know Aquarus has a lot of acquaintances and friends,
but they're certain, they're they're not deep friendship. They're like
they know a lot of people, they're fun, they're freedom loving,
they socialize, you know, but and they're humanitarians at heart.
Really this energy too, but they like to do things
in a detached way. So I always feel like Aquarius

(14:27):
energy is hard for me to feel, like, you know, empathically,
emotionally feel. And when someone has a lot of Aquarius,
I always know it because I can't feel their energy
because it's high up. It's like air, you know, you
can't you know, air's there, we're breathing it, but we
can't touch it. I can feel Libra and Jim and
I immediately and know they're signed. But Aquarius, when I

(14:49):
don't feel and I can't connect, I'm like, they got
Aquarius somewhere, And I'm almost always it's always right when
I do their chart, and it's just because they're they're
like the high octave of the air inner I think,
you know, with your ran as being, you know, just
so innovative and futuristic and scientific, and it's like you know,
AI space travel, computer's robots. You know, that's all this

(15:11):
kind of energy that Aquarius encompasses. But we'll take a
little break and we'll be right back, guys. At the break,
we're talking about the astrology forecast for January twenty five
through thirty first on your astrological Energy. We'll be right back.

Karma Turner Shot and I'm here with Lucy Baldwin, and
we're talking about the planetary energies of this week. And

(16:38):
we're just talking about Aquarius, and now we're going to
kind of shift and talk about there's quite a few retrogrades.
We have Jupiter retrograde and cancer. Saturn is in Pisces,
Uranus is retrograde in Taurus. Neptune is going into aries, guys,
which we're gonna focus on that here in a minute,

(16:59):
and then Pluto in Aquarius, and then we have that
Stallium and Aquarius. So we have a lot of different
energies going on. And one of the biggest things this
week that I think is something to be be noticed
is Neptune was in Pisces. It was retrograding Pisces for
a while. Uh, people were feeling more dreamy and a

(17:21):
little bit less able to take action.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
You know.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Everyone was telling me they felt a little tired and
a little bit you know, having illnesses, you know, getting
sick and things like that. And now January twenty six,
Neptune re enters Aries. So I'm really excited about this.
So I want to get your opinion on it because
you know Neptune, you know, it's been retrograde a while.

(17:47):
You know, going into Aries, it's like Aries is courage,
Areas is action, Areas is trusting their gut, going after
what they want initiatives. So I see it's like a
spiritual initiative. You know, what's your vibe of the inner
of the plant, your energy of Neptune and Aries again.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
Well, so you know, Neptune is another one of these
collective planets. So to me, I'm like, okay, this is
gonna it's sort of like we've been in this wishy
washy like I feel like there's a lot of like
what is going on in the world been happening, sort
of like we don't really know what we're looking at it,
you know, Pisces. It's like you're underwater and you can't

(18:25):
really see what's going on, and it's very it's sort
of like mysterious. And I feel like Aries is so
directed and it's just like, you know, Aries is like.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
I am here, you know, and I think that.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
The collective vibe is gonna shift a lot. And yeah,
I'm always sort of curious, how to how can we
how can we well I'm personally like, how can I
capitalize on this, you know, and I'm not.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
I'm not.

Speaker 4 (18:54):
I don't know if I fully have the answer for
this one at this moment, but yeah, there are these
like big I think it'll we'll see it reflecting in like.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
The outer world, you know, like in the media and stuff.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah. Absolutely, It's pretty cool because just so the listeners
know a little bit the planet Neptune, you know, when
it was when it was discovered. You know, it's an
outer planet. That means, you know, it's it's kind of
way out there, and it takes Neptune fifteen years to
move through a sign, so you know, we have the
twelve zodiac signs. It's astronomy, it's astrology, it's it's science.

(19:29):
And Neptune was in Pisces since twenty eleven and it
moved in twenty twenty five into Aries for a short
time and then it retrograded, which we talk about on
the show, which means that it's like that planet's energy
spinning backwards. It's kind of blocked in a way. It
retrograded back into Pisces, and then now that it is
in Aries as of January twenty sixth, this week, guys,

(19:53):
it will be there until twenty thirty nine. That's huge
and so affects the world like globally, like like Lucy
was saying, So it's like a it's a collective kind
of like the collective unconscious. It affects the collective, and
it's kind of like reminds me of what Carl Young
talked about with the the synchronicity and the collective unconscious,

(20:13):
like or how we think, how we how we act,
how we do work every I think everything that's large
scale is gonna affect all of us in the world.
You know, Innovation, I mean a lot of things are
gonna happen fast. You know, that's aries quick. I think
I'm hoping quick. Spiritual evolution, evolution and revolution too. I

(20:37):
mean you're gonna have both, you know, because of these energies.
So people awakening quick and noticing and becoming more spiritual
and changing their beliefs and all these things. I think
I'm gonna feel better because I know it's been in
Pisces and I have not been feeling the best. And
I have a lot of areas in my chart, so
I'm like, I'm looking forward to to Neptune back in

(20:58):
there and so so you know, this is a long
cycle focused on imagination, being spiritually assertive, courageous, visionary action.
You know, direct experience is what Aris likes over blindly
following others. So like Pisces and Neptune are all about
idealism and Aris is about like what's true and real

(21:22):
and being blunt and honest. So I think it's going
to be a good mix, you know, of those energies.
And it's also warning that there could be dismantling of
spiritual hierarchies, uh, moving into this independence, forcing us to
trust our gut instinct about whatever we see and and
and are being told in the world on the news

(21:44):
and media, social you know, I think we're going to
have to be more in our gut, you know, like Aries.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
Yeah, it's like we've been in a dream, yes, and
it's it's been like really hard to kind of know
what's real and what's not real. And now it's kind
of like where it feels. I think it's going to
feel really fresh, like we're waking up from the dream.
And yeah, I think it's gonna feel really good. I
mean it's a major turning point for it. And yeah,
with like technology and all this stuff that's been coming up.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
I don't know. I think, yeah, it is going to
be a lot of like fast changes, and yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
It's kind of crazy. Like I can kind of see,
you know what Pluto and Aquarius. I saw somebody had
contacted me. They were developing this AI astrology system thing
where they were looking for astrologers to be these AI
avatars like and actually do avatar AI readings for people.

(22:43):
And I'm like, I'm doing real readings like this, Like
I can't know, I'm already I already have clients like
the I like the people connecting with people. But I
think that that's one of the downsides of all this.
You know, Uranus is going to be that you know
in jem and I for a long time, Pluto and Aquaerus,
all this air energy things are going to get really technological,

(23:07):
and I think that we're going to have to like
figure it out, you know, because you don't want to
lose the human connection, you know.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
The Yeah, I think people are going to be really
hungry for human connection. I think we're already hungry for
human connection, and especially with something like astrology, there's such
an intuitive piece to it where you really want a
human who can feel it to work with you in
that way.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
So, guys, if you're listening. I told this to my
friend because her daughter was like looking on chat gpt
about her strategy chart, and I said, you can't believe
everything that AI tells you in chat gept, and it's
not always accurate. And I tested it out once. I asked,
you know, what are the eclipses of this year whatever?
And it gave the wrong data. It didn't even know
the clip. And then I'm like, that's not accurate. Oh sorry,

(23:58):
you're you're right. I was gave you this is the
correct So it's a computer guys. And if you really
want a strategy reading, contact you know me. If you
want to tap into the energies, contact Lucy, which now
we got about a minute left. Lucy tell us where
