Astrology Says to Prepare NOW; Are our Daily Systems About to be Disrupted?

0:11 I try to stay away from it. It's me. But occasionally, some tending topics make their way to my desk. Somehow. And there's a rumor going around about this 90-day shutdown. Something like the US military bases have been preparing for a 90-day shutdown to be cut off from the world, so to speak, for 90 days.

0:34 And apparently, all these other countries are also sending out the same messages to their people to prepare for 72 hours being completely cut off. And honestly, these are things that we should be doing all the time anyway, right? Because natural disasters are a very real thing. Now, historically, astrology was never meant to dissect the personality and discuss compatibility.

0:59 I've said this before from kind of a tough love standpoint that we are such spoiled brats in a sense that we have the gift, the luxury, the privilege to use astrology to just understand how to like each other more, understand each other more, because historically it was a means of survival to understand geopolitical tensions, to understand predicting natural disasters, farming for our food.

1:30 It was survival. And then it kind of morphed into protecting kings. There's really cool history about eclipses being a time that people believed, whatever they believed in, god, universe, creatures would come down and try to eclipse the king out of the kingdom. And so they would put a false king. They would find a villager who looked like the king, dress them up to present to the gods of the eclipses and say, Here, take this one, because we know you're coming for it.

1:56 So that's kind of the origins of astrology. And then Palacis was invented, and we took the Earth's tilt and the location of the birth into equation, and we'd started to develop psychology and the symbolism of understanding it. So it's a privilege. We we evolved and our ancestors went through so much to get us to this point.

2:13 So I call it a privilege, but it's also something that was very hard-earned. I uh skate the line of both of those things, understanding them. But astrology right now can help us understand why so many people, why it's catching fire, that we should be preparing food, water, what are they saying? Go get cash.

2:35 That's another thing. I want to approach this from a very balanced standpoint while also using astrology to show you that there's some serious merit in this. And of course, we astrologers are actively studying 2027 because it's Q4. And there are, there are a few placements. In fact, if you guys remember back in July, there was a configuration in the sky called Barbo's Basket, where astrologer Anthony Barbeau predicted that this there was us before, and then there is us after.

3:08 And with astrology and with life, it's predicting the weather. You know, I followed the farmer's almanac. It said that the month of October here in central, south central Texas, it was supposed to rain, rain, rain. It never did. We got a few showers here and there. It's raining heavily today, but for the most part, it was beautiful, just sunny and hot and dry every single day.

3:29 Doesn't mean I think it's fake or they're wrong. I just say, okay, well, you can predict things with the data, but at the end of the day, Mother Nature will take its course. We can utilize astrology to predict things, give you a symbolical weather forecast. But at the end of the day, nature versus nurture, and we're talking about humans, the most erratic, sporadic, spontaneous creatures on earth.

3:53 And so trying to predict them through astrology, you know, it's an art form for sure. And we don't always bat a thousand, as I don't think anything does. Now, before I get into the astrology of how we should all be preparing for 2027, visit our website, astrology-lounge.com, to book your 2027 future cast with me.

4:14 This is a very in-depth 90-minute session with me, where we go over every major 2027 transit from the new moons to the full moons, the three Mercury retrogrades, the eclipses, where in your chart there's a construction zone that eventually turns into a dream home later in 2027. Be sure to check all that out.

4:34 It's in the show notes. So I don't vote. I'll just come off the cusp and tell you guys I don't vote. I have not voted since I was 19 years old. Just a personal belief, spiritual belief. And now it's kind of gathering data for I feel like young me knew what she was doing. But I don't vote. And to be completely honest, I do not know what midterm elections are.

4:58 I have no idea what they are. And I used to feel bad, like, am I just being lazy or naive? But now in 2026, no. I think I've always understood. My personal view is I vote with my dollar. What businesses do I want to give power to? Because power is money and money is power. So that's just my personal preference.

5:18 Uh that does not mean I disagree with people who do use their vote as their power. Rock on. Just not for me. Um, so with the midterm elections, and again, I am saying this with stuttering words because I don't fully understand political stuff. I'm an astrologer, I focus on that. I'm an artist, I focus on that.

5:39 That is just not my forte. I do understand that it exists and that I have a responsibility with my platform, with someone who has money that has power. But again, I built with my dollar and try to purchase from local businesses, small businesses, family-owned businesses, as much as I possibly can. Um, but there is something in the news cycle that is saying prepare for potentially a strike from Iran.

6:05 There's the straighter from you's that's causing tons of conflict. Here in Texas, you know, Mr. Virgo has a business that relies heavily on diesel. And I have definitely noticed in our household income we are spending an ungodly amount on diesel for his truck that is for work. We're also spending a lot.

6:24 As the person who runs the inventory of our house, who runs our groceries, I've done this since uh Mr. Virgo and I first got together in 2020. So I've always known how much him and I eat. And then when we have the boys, how much we all four eat, and the dogs. I run these things, my sixth house stellium, right?

6:42 And those have also gotten so expensive to where I sit around and I wonder who's buying these $1.5 million homes around us and getting all these Amazon boxes delivered. Like, whoa, this is nuts. And I still feel like I'm 25 trying to get my first mortgage, trying to buy a $165,000 house, thinking that that was just like, oh, I'm that is huge.

7:08 And that can't even buy you a studio apartment today. And it just it feels like 10 years, sure, was a long time ago, but it also wasn't. And so it's very obvious that Chiron and Taurus is about to enter the chat. When Chiron and Taurus had its preview this summer from June to September, I think we all started to feel like how come there are so many people that have so much wealth and material items and luxury.

7:38 These are all Taurus themes and money. And then how come there's some people who have to decide between groceries and the doctor? This is not right. I I still believe in capitalism. I still think it's very fair, but it's gotten so far out of control that it needs to be rewritten, I think, to keep up with today's times.

7:59 So when Chiron moves into Taurus in 2027, this is gonna be April 15th, 2027, all the way to July 2033. The wound shifts from who am I, what is my gender? This was the Chiron and Aries. What is my gender? What is my sexuality? What is my race? Who am I? Chiron and Aries, the identity wound. Um, it shifts into Taurus, which is the wound of the haves and the have-nots, the wound of money, the wound of how come I worked my entire life and have very little to show for it.

8:36 Some things not adding up. That's gonna be, I want to preface this with that. That Chiron is coming into Taurus, and it is wounds around food, around luxury items that we're taking for granted, like coffee and chocolate, especially for those of us in America. It is wound around my paycheck, right? That feeling of why do I work so so so so so so hard and have nothing to show for it?

9:01 How come I did everything right in Taurean by the book? I practiced patience, I saved up money and did not take the trip. I put it into the 401k, yet I don't have access to that because you're telling me some AI bot hacked the system where all of my money went away. Like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's my money, says Chiron in Taurus.

9:22 By the way, this is a true story, and it was with Prudential. Uh, don't care if I'm not allowed to say that. It's what it is, what it is. I used to work for a very large, well-known health insurance company when I first graduated college with a business degree. I was very proud of myself. Started an entry-level job, but I was gonna work my way up.

9:39 And I was doing everything by the book, had my salary, I would put X amount of my paycheck into a 401k. I was doing it all because they would match it. That classic corporate structure, right? Like I was living the American dream, but dying inside because it was never what I wanted to do. But I was doing it, whatever he told me to do.

9:58 My Chiron's in the second house. And then I'll never forget this was like two years, maybe three into the job. And to me, okay, to a little 24-year-old girl. Have I had like $8,000 in it, and they were gonna match that. So totally I would have like 16,000 or something. And I was like, oh my gosh, I'm rich.

10:18 Like, I am set for retirement. Look at me go. Meanwhile, that will just pay for your rent and your utilities and your groceries for one month in 2026. But, anyways, I remember every I would get paid bi-weekly, and I would always check, I would always make sure my success stallion's really shining. If only I knew back then.

10:39 I would make sure that that a percentage of each bi-weekly paycheck went into my 401k. Well, one day I went to look at it with my pride, and it said zero. There's no money in my 401k. And I was like, whoa, I look over at my cubicle mate and I go, Hey, have you checked on your 401k? She's like, No, why?

11:00 I never look at that. And I was like, panicking. I'm walking down the cubicle aisles going, Does anybody else look at their 401k? And someone shouts, check your email. I'm like, what? So I sit back down, log into my email. Sure enough, someone that worked for this large corporation that was in charge of it, they hacked it.

11:16 They stole everybody's 401k. And so obviously they did damage control and I got my money back within 48 hours, but still, that was such a lesson for me. Going, holy shit, like all of my money is just digital. It's just on my phone, it is just on a screen, and somebody can hack it and just press a button, and I have zero access to that.

11:45 And I just spiraled and thought, well, wait a second, my student loans have never felt that significant because it's all digital. Yeah, I'll electronically sign for 50K as an 18-year-old because I can't see it. I don't, if you were to put $50,000 cash stacked on a table in front of me at 18 years old, I would have looked at that and been like, no, no, no, I don't know what kind of drug deal this is, but I don't want anything to do with it.

12:09 No, I'm not going to college. But the fact that it was all on the internet and they just showed you, we'll slide it into paid for you. It's like, oh sure. 50,000 more? Yeah, just sure. Can I have some of that? It just, I thought of it and I thought, whoa, that's some serious trust that I'm giving to these institutions that all of my money is digital, that anybody can go in and just change a zero or get rid of a five.

12:37 And it drastically changes my finances. And the more I think about it, the more I'm like, well, what do I do? Go take all my cash and put it under my my sofa and the astrology. What do you do with it? Because we're also taught that you should invest it in things so that it grows, but you know what I mean?

12:58 And now with AI being introduced to the chat, all pun intended, uh it'll be just so easy for it to be like you guys have no money. Like, do you do you ever think of that? Listen, just this year I discovered that you can tap your credit card, that that little like Wi-Fi thing on the card, I never noticed it, but you can tap it.

13:22 I think I was getting coffee somewhere like Indiana, and she was like, tap your card. I was like, no, it's a debit card. And she was like, Yeah, tap it. And I was like, You mean insert it? She's like, no, no, no, tap here. Let me see that. She grabbed my card and just tapped it on the thing and it beeped.

13:36 And I was like, what the f she was like, you don't know about tapping your card. I was like, I swear I'm born in the 80s. I'm just waiting for them to like read the irises of my eyes and be like, oh, you have no money. Don't come in here. Who knows? But this is gonna be Chiron and Taurus. This is gonna set the stage for the next eight years of what is society's pain point.

13:59 And guys, it's the things we love the most. It's what we are currently collecting data on, who's Miss Venus retrograde. Venus rules Taurus, they are interchangeable. So when Chiron gets really settled in Taurus, mid-April of next year, we kick off the most extreme manifestation of this is the food we eat and enjoy today may not be the same.

14:30 Meaning it could be, it could have to be grown in a lab. It may have to be created uh hydroponic. Like this is farming. Tourists is land, it is farming. Um, when there's a wound within that, we have wounded the land. You know, being uh born and raised in southern Indiana, growing up in New Hampshire, living here in Texas, around all their cool, interesting grapefruit and pecan trees, all the farming.

14:56 Uh, Mr. Virgo and I love agritourism. Whenever we travel, especially Puerto Rico, we love to go to farms and stay on farms. We love to go to the Everglades in Florida, homestead. Shout out to that area. I know if you if you know and you know, you probably think I'm nuts for going to homestead because it's pretty gangsta, but that's always where we stay.

15:16 And we find these like little Airbnb compounds where everybody just gathers in this messy old beat-up kitchen and we collect eggs from chickens, we talk to everyone who's from all over the country, just passing through. It's I don't know, that's our vibe. We love it. But that agritourism, farming, Chiron moving into tourists, this is a wound around the food we eat, right?

15:39 I I very often think of this whenever we buy steak or um chocolate, coffee, tropical foods and fruits that do not grow near us. I think, how freaking lucky are we to have this? Whenever I put our groceries up, I will just stop and stare in our fridge and be like, what lottery did I win in a past life?

16:00 This is amazing. And I'll just stare at it. Like, this is so cool. Thank you, life, to have this. And then there's this weird piece of me, and I felt like this for almost half my life, where I I don't know if it's because I feel guilty. I mean, I've literally gone from walking through food banks with my mom, collecting milk and bread, and having to go sit with her at restaurants where kids eat free because that was our only option to eat, to being wealthy enough to see stacked wagu steaks in my fridge.

16:30 I've I've dipped my toes and danced in both worlds. So maybe that's just where it stems from. But I almost feel guilty. Like I just I get the ick when I have so much luxury and abundance and food and money, especially food. I'm just like this is almost too cushion-y. And then I'm like, is this a wound?

16:52 Whoa, who would not? Who wouldn't want this? Why do I feel weird about it? Like shaking it off. Shouldn't I be like rolling in it? Like, yes, I don't know what that is. But I share that because I think this is a Chiron and Taurus story. Taurus is money. Taurus as well as Fargo, Bank of America, 401ks.

17:14 Taurus is our bi-weekly paychecks, Taurus is our monthly paychecks. Scorpio is more money that is a windfall. Like, say you're a novelist and you don't get paid until you sign a new book deal, and then you get a windfall all at once. I know some of you have jobs where you'll make like $60,000 on one month, like November 1st, you'll get a check for 60k, but you won't get paid again until like March 15th.

17:39 So you gotta stretch it, make it last. That's more Scorpio money right there. Scorpio money is alimony, child support, um, social security. It's shared money. It's money that is, you know, coming from somewhere else, not necessarily things that you put your talents to use for to earn bi-weekly or weekly or monthly, that Taurus set schedule.

18:00 So when Chiron moves into Taurus, this is also the luxury of going on Amazon. Gosh, I uh we I was a little sick this week and I was like, I am not gonna be able to teach or talk unless I have cough drops, but I have none. I was like, shoot, I start work tomorrow. So I went on Amazon, and I normally don't do this, but it could be delivered to my house in two hours, and we live out on a ranch, and I was like, this is nuts.

18:26 And sure enough, I ordered it because I was like, I need these things, and here it was with my umka tea. And I was like, phew, I am so lucky that this came through. But like, what about the person that delivered it? Are they getting paid fair? Should I leave them a really big tip? Are they at the like, are they getting paid, compensated for the price of gas right now?

18:45 Like, these are just all things that go through my mind. And this is Chiron and Taurus. This is there's there's a wound, there's a fracture, there's a hay. I think we have so much abundance that we're gonna have to turn and look at Earth and the resources and say, is this sustainable? Like, this is nice, huh?

19:05 Who doesn't like caramel cough drops delivered two hours to your door? But is that sustainable for the humans, for the gas, for the wear and tear on their vehicle, and the wear and tear on earth? Is can this keep going like this way? You know? Now I preface this entire episode with that, because I think what is about to happen over the next three to six months is the doorway into the Chiron and Taurus eight-year what is actually sustainable, who makes this much money, who has no money, wound that collectively we're all have no choice but to embrace.

19:43 Now, going back to present day, we have the midterm elections. From what I understand, they are hot. It's a very big deal to people. And the fact that they are occurring during a double retrograde of Mercury and Venus tells me that there's some miscounts, some false stuff, and it's in the sign of Scorpio, so secrecy, power plays, hidden moves may be exposed, or maybe they're trying to do those during this time, but it ain't gonna happen.

20:15 Maybe trying to use secret AI tools to win an election, secure an election. I don't know. We're talking about retrograde and Scorpio here. But having an election during a Mercury retrograde, like if you're handwriting it and counting it, ooh, brains aren't so sharp right now. If it's all electronic double ooh, things aren't gonna work, things are gonna miscount, things that's crazy.

20:37 And Venus going retrograde is the classic, okay, are we gonna switch the Senate from Republican or to Democrat? What do we actually value? Do we actually value the beliefs that this leader is doing that and that? It's it's sloppy. If I could pick a worse time to have an election like this, it would quite literally be right now.

20:55 But it is what it is, and it will happen, and we can't stop it. So, off the bat, not a fan of what is it, November 3rd? Let me make sure I'm I don't even know, but something like that next Tuesday. But then Mars, the planet of war, is entering his shadow. Mars will go retrograde January 11th, 2027, all the way to April 2nd, 2027.

21:25 Mars is the planet of war. Mars is the planet of conflict, masculinity, fighting. And it's gonna go retrograde in the sign of Virgo. Virgo is the sign that is so important but overlooked. It is our utilities system, it is our electrical grid, it is our water system, it's our banking system. Virgo rules systems, it's organization, it's methodical, it's the things that we cannot live without, but we take them for granted so easily because they're all.

22:00 There. Virgos are raising their hands going, Yeah, that's me. I do everything for everyone. I notice when they need a drink. I notice when the they forgot to do the dishes and I just take care of it and no one notices me. Well, collectively speaking, Virgo is the systems that keeps us running every day.

22:17 It's our roads, it's our banking, it's our food system. Taurus is the food in the farms. Virgo is the system, the Cisco system, the big food delivery company that gets the food from the farm to the table. Virgo created that. So when the planet of war and anger goes backwards in the sign of our day-to-day systems, I see a massive halt on those systems.

22:46 Now, could this be AI hacking utilities? Yeah. Could it be the power grid goes out and all of a sudden our daily routine of waking up, turning on the kitchen light? Yeah. You gotta rewire these things. We go to the grocery store, we go home at night, we're like, I want some grilled cheese and tomato soup.

23:05 Well, we don't have this. We need to run to the store and buy it. Okay, well, we drive in our cars, our system. The grocery store has a system of you walk through, you grab your item, you go to the front, you check out, the cash register system. Like our lives are so engulfed in Virgo type organization and systems that when one breaks, one major one breaks or reverses Mars due to conflict or war, Mars.

23:35 Down and down it goes. What's interesting is historically the planet of Uranus moving into Gemini has always initiated wars. And Uranus moved into Gemini permanently just this year, and we astrologers have had our eye on it. And while there wasn't any declaration of war, there was definitely like all summer long, it felt like here in the States, they were just warning you about AI can now do this, AI is now SI, it's growing fast, and so it's like a bubble that's just boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.

24:06 And then, of course, we've constantly been hearing about straight overviews, tensions in Iran. It feels like I've been hearing that since I was born in '88, but is it likely that this Mars retrograde will be us revisiting a conflict that started earlier in 2026? Yeah. I can say yeah. So Mars is going to enter its shadow, meaning it's going to enter the degrees that it will eventually trace back to.

24:34 I can't make this up if I tried. Wednesday, November 4th. Is that the day of the midterm elections?

24:43unknown What day is the midterm elections?

24:47 Tuesday, November 3rd. And then Mars enters its shadow just a few hours later.

24:53unknown Yeah.

24:54 On November 4th. That is wild. I just pieced this together live with you guys. This is where I say astrology is not something you believe in, it's something you experience. Like, how can you deny this experience right here? So when Mars enters its shadow, it simply means it's entering 20 degrees Leo.

25:11 And so pay attention just individually to where 20 degrees Leo hits in your chart or what area of life that that concerns you in your chart. And just pay attention. Remember what we do here. We don't freak out about retrogrades. We collect data. We're wearing our Venus lab coat with a little mercury pocket, collecting data right now on those two subjects.

25:33 But eventually we're going to put on like a whatever color you associate Mars with. Mine's going to be like a dark forest green lab coat when I'm like, all right, what do I really want to take action on? Mine's going to be the fifth and the fourth house. So I'm going to look into hobbies, creativity, fertility, children, and I'm going to be like, all right, what am I really doing here?

25:52 All right, we're taking data, taking, taking notes. So Mars goes retrograde on January 11th at 10 degrees Virgo. However, that will be a re because remember it's a retrograde, a revisit of conflicts that started around November 3rd and 4th when Mars entered its shadow. This is so wild. So all of November, Mars is going to 21 degrees Leo, 26 degrees Leo.

26:22 But then November 26th, it enters zero degrees Virgo, which is when we're really turning up the heat. Now, ironically, November 24th, we have a full moon in Gemini conjunct Uranus. That is shocking sudden news. That could be a shocking turn of events politically that involves Gemini, AI, internet, social media, misinformation.

26:46 That is Gemini rule topics. And then two days later, Mars officially enters Virgo. It's in Virgo all of December. Holiday season is here. We're busy. And then January of 2027, right on the 11th, 1-1-1. Mars goes retrograde at 10 degrees Virgo. And then it goes all the way to April 2nd when it turns direct at 20 degrees Leo.

27:18 So this is a hot spot for political tensions, for sure. And especially February 2027 with the eclipses in Aquarius and Virgo. So yes, if you're piecing this together with me, there will be an eclipse on February 20th at a lunar eclipse at 2 degrees Virgo, very close to Mars retrograde. So when there let me just verify, it's February 20th.

27:48 Mars. Isn't he a 29-degree Leo? Of course, he is the sitting president of the United States, so whether you like him or not, you have to take this into your data because that's what we do here in the astrology lounge. We're all astrologers here and we are just collecting data, aren't we? We are just observing things.

28:22 Where did I put you, Trump? Looking for his chart. He is a 29-degree Leo rising. He's gonna have his Mars return at 26 degrees, Leo. So this entire Mars retrograde, it starts in Donald Trump's first house and it backtracks over his ascendant, over his natal bars, and his 12th house. Listen, I'm not about death pain, those subjects, but when Mars enters the first house, I always tell you guys when it touches your ascendant or your first house, put yourself in bubble wrap, wear your seatbelts, put your helmets on.

29:03 The fact that we're feeling these tensions while Mars is going to go retrograde right over Donald Trump's ascendant, which is how he appears to the world, his physical body, his identity, and it's his Mars return. I don't know, guys. Let me look at this. This uh Gemini full moon will be hitting right near his mid-heaven in his 10th house.

29:33 And so this could be a shocking change in his status and his power, because that's a 10th house of legacy and public reputation. How the world sees me. So November 24th, there's a shocking change in how the world sees Donald Trump. And then mid-January, Mars is going retrograde in his first house. He could be getting sick, he could be getting impeached, he could be there's just something how we see him radically changes.

29:59 And I'm pretty sure the depositor, which would be Mercury, will be sitting around his IC, third house secrecy, communication, conversation. Like it's hot, guys. It's very hot. So to tie all of this together, when people are saying prep and prepare, they're right. One side of me says we should always be doing this.

30:24 The other side of me says that the weather forecast for, yeah, just make sure you've got some food, some water, or cash. Cash is probably a really smart thing to have all the time. But the weather forecast for saying have your grab bag, don't be scared, be prepared, is. I will concur with all the people posting YouTube about it that it is pretty high right now.

30:48 I'm cracking up. I just had to pause and I'm playing it back, and I'm talking about this very serious subject, and then you hear the pug snoring. Not a single care in the world. You know, me and Mr. Virgo were talking about if we could come back as birds to just fly above all the BS that's going on down on Earth.

31:06 What would we be? He said an eagle, of course. And I said some tropical rainbow bird, like a toucan. Oh, to be a very well-loved, spoiled pug in today's world and not have to worry about anything. Jeffrey, my golden child, he uh he's a Sagittarius son, just like me, with an Aries moon. We call him the atheist asshole.

31:34 So, anyways, guys, this is really why I wanted to create this Quick Friday episode, is to let you know if you have been seeing that on your algorithm, on your feed. Maybe you and your friends or your family have been talking about. I mean, politics and media and algorithms aside, if you're in tune with nature and the natural cycle of things and try your best to live with a good circadian rhythm, you feel something in the air, something weird, different, what's gonna happen, what's going on.

32:06 It's almost like we've all been holding our breath since 2020, kinda. And while astrology can't predict exactly what it is, it can correlate with the fact that a lot of different languages, be them spiritual, religious, prophets, philosophers, they're all kind of pointing to the same thing, which is a huge restructuring of society.

32:30 And with AI, I mean, AI is just pure Uranian. We don't know what it's capable of, where it's gonna go, what it'll be used for. Right? We always talk about war, shocking this, shocking that, but I don't think we're in an era of blood bombs and guns type of war. I think we're in an era where that's small play.

32:54 Is that that's easy, that's nothing, that's not even scary anymore. Look at all the pop popular movies on Netflix. But AI hacking into your consciousness and pumping you ads and videos and pictures on your algorithm taking control of your consciousness, that's some real war, right there. That's some real stuff.

33:17 And I think that's where we're at with things. So Mars will be retrograde from January to April in the sign of Virgo. It starts in Virgo and it dips back into Leo. Virgo is the systems that keep us running that we cannot live without, but we take for granted. Leo is the sign of our leaders, world leaders, political leaders, leaders of our town, leaders of our family, people in our group, our tribe that we will look to when shin hits the fan.

33:46 So when Mars goes retrograde in Virgo, we may see some reverse engineering of our systems or a slowdown of the systems that keep our day-to-day running. And then as soon as it dips back into Leo, we start to turn and look at our leaders and say, hello, SOS, help. So January 11th, Mars goes retrograde at 10 degrees Virgo, it's in Virgo for the rest of January, and then on February 22nd, right after a Virgo lunar eclipse on the 20th, it dips back into Leo.

34:23 So it'll be at 29 degrees Leo, conjunct Donald Trump's ascendant. I don't know. Something about February, late February into early March there, and then it remains in Leo for all of March, and then on April 1st, it turns direct. So it's like January, and most of February is the slowdown of the systems, and then the tail end of February into March.

34:51 And honestly, beyond, we're looking at the leaders. We're looking at the egotistical leaders, but then we're also looking for okay, who's gonna step up and help us? Someone's gotta help us. Who's gonna step into the fire? Leo, who's gonna be the king or queen of this jungle and help us, Leo? So, and this is looking way down the line, but February, I'm sorry, April 2028.

35:16 So about a year and a half from now, Saturn will move into Taurus and join Chiron in Taurus. Uh that's Earth, that's food, that's money, and Saturn represents where the work is showing up. Right now, Saturn is an Aries, so anger, identity, tempers, individuality. It's kind of the collective lesson, right?

35:40 Because I think through the invention and the luxuries of the internet, we've become so isolated and solo, and I truly don't need anyone in order to survive because we've created connection through AI and the internet. But we never want everything in moderation, right? We never want to swing too far one way.

35:59 Total reliance on a group, but we also never want to push the group away because we need connection and community to thrive, but we don't want to lose ourselves in it. That's kind of the Saturn and Aries lesson right now. Lesson around war, conflict, that is Aries. And then April 2028, Saturn moves into Taurus, joins Chiron, steady in Taurus, and the lesson becomes food, money, material items.

36:25 The obvious manifestation of this is the human collective has to start to live without luxury and comfort commodities that are not necessity. We start to I this could be a time where um what is it called? When everybody gets income, where everybody has a set fixed income. I am drawing the biggest blank.

36:52 I don't want to hit pause. But a set income for everyone. There's something about banking, money, food, farming, mother earth, nature. Remember the podcast episode I put out where I said, what's your earth sign? Well, if Earth was to be ruled by constellations, it would be Taurus and Sagittarius. So when Saturn goes through Taurus, especially, Taurus is nature, Taurus is animals, food, plants, the beauty, the bounty.

37:23 Whenever I see my gorgeous blue morning glories every morning, I just think so, Taurus, so Taurus. When Saturn, the planet of restriction, hard work, karma, discipline, moves into Taurus, the disempowered side is we have a serious cut in money, finances, farming, food, and luxury items. The empowered side of that could be is we start to understand that we don't need so much to thrive.

37:49 We don't attach our identity to material items, and it forces us to barter with each other. Farmers' markets could explode during this time frame because people start to recognize that you vote with your dollar and it's very Taurus. And we want to give our dollar to the small families that make up our community.

38:07 So there's some serious restructuring and rebalancing. I don't think we need astrology, religion, or the news to tell us that. We can see it, sense it, feel it. I don't know about you guys, but I truly feel like it was a different dimension prior to 2020. I was looking at my own life dates and 2012 iPhone hits the scene.

38:29 It becomes very popular. Remember, the Mayan calendar said that the world ends around 2012. Look up key dates that AI was invented. There was a huge turn of AI starting to recognize images in 2012. This is when the iPhone was first released and put on sale in 2012. Tell me that I'm not saying your life ended, but your life as you knew it ended in 2012 because so many of us finally got a smartphone, not a Nokia, not the flip phone.

39:00 I mean a smartphone. And we all became addicted because it's extremely addicting. You have to have some serious self-discipline to not be addicted to scrolling to your phone, to utilizing it. I mean, think about what would happen if the internet and service went down for just 24 hours. You don't have service, you're not listening to this.

39:26 I can't do my job, period. My job's gone. Um, you can't text, you can't call. You just have to hope that your loved ones are okay. Just 24 hours. And so we ran into this headfirst, like, yes, this is amazing. But I think it's progressed so fast, and the luxuries that have come from it have gotten so addicting that we've forgotten moderation and how to slow down and say, let's go into this gently, because this is absolutely it's good, it's like a relationship.

40:01 Falling in love. You don't want to meet someone and get married the next night, even though your hormones and lust might say you want to. The slower you go, the more likely it has longevity. I know you guys probably have your stories of not me and my partner. I get it. I get it. But you know what I'm saying.

40:19 Slower you go, moderation, get to know someone before you really like have a child with them, have create a marriage with them. This is kind of our relationship to social media, to AI, to smartphones. It's too late, anyways. I mean, we've gone too fast. We are so waist deep in this. I don't think it's too late to turn it around.

40:38 I don't think it will ever be turned around. But when I utilize astrology to do a little weather, if you will, symbolic weather forecasting of this, there's gonna be a huge, what appears to be a huge turnaround and reconnection back to nature. People, the more the world becomes digitized, and just when we think it can't be more digitized, it's it's going to be.

41:05 We all know this. Like it's just where things are going. Uh, I don't post on Instagram anymore. I I try and keep up with Substack, but I'm so busy in the real. If there's someone in front of me, which there typically is, whether it's a kid, a dog, or a human, I'm so present with them that I don't even know where my phone is half the time.

41:25 And it's you I crack my screen almost weekly because I just forget where my phone is at. If I want to jump on my bike and ride around the ranch, I do it and I forget my phone's in my pocket, it drops on a rock, it cracks. I just, I'm trying so hard to be disconnected from it. Not in a bad way, because I really love the people that text me and want to send me cool things and messages.

41:48 But it is so hard for me to choose between the people who are right in front of me. I want to give them my full, undivided attention without glancing at my phone. Like, I really need to respond. I don't, I hope they don't feel like I don't like them. I hope they don't feel like I'm ignoring. Like it it pulls away from the person who's in front of me.

42:05 And I just so value the rich depth of looking someone in the eyes as they share something as small as the gas station. They stopped at on the way home to get a taco. I want to know everything. What did it smell like? Who did you meet? Did it taste good? What was the sauce like? I just think that that is such a rarity and it's such a healing balm.

42:25 It's so simple, but it's so healing. And it helps me too, because I don't feel like I can be fully present over the phone. It's a gift. I absolutely love that I can send my mom when I'm eating for dinner every night, but it's not the same at all, you know? And so I share all this, not to get too off track, but to tell you that the upcoming transits, number one, we have a new moon in Scorpio on November 8th.

42:57 That is a time to plant a seed of intention around what you absolutely when life, if you are threatened with death, what does your mind all of a sudden show you that it loves and values if death is knocking out your doorstep? That's a very Scorpio thing. And I think I might create an entire new episode on this because it deserves its own attention.

43:18 But this Venus and Mercury retrograde that we have been talking about since September that started on October 3rd, it's preparing us for this Mars retrograde coming up in January. Virgo and Scorpio, which are the two signs that these planets are going retrograde in, form what's called a sextile. They're two signs, excuse me, two signs apart or 60 degrees away.

43:40 And you guys know that that represents an opportunity, the glittery door that opens, but it only opens if you actively participate in grabbing the handle and turning it and walking your body through. There's a sex tile between these two. So that tells us that the work collectively and individually that we are doing.

44:00 Doing right now during the Venus and Mercury retrograde in Scorpio is presenting an opportunity to slow down and reassess the systems of our Virgo ruled house to perfect them. And if this turns out to be a collective, I don't want to use the W word war or awakening, conflict, turbulence, things slowing down, well, wherever this Mars retrograde hits is probably your role in this, where you should really focus your energy, front lines or back end.

44:35 Right? This will be going through my fifth and my fourth house. So I will batten down the hatches of the fourth house home, and I'll probably be in charge of the kids. Fifth house. That's how this works. And the Venus and Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, it's going through my sixth and my seventh house.

44:52 And so I am analyzing and doing a little spring cleaning on do I feel like my partner and I are balancing our day-to-day chores, routines. Uh, I'm getting all my health checked, and my partner attends them with me. And it makes me feel supported because it's a value, Venus and Scorpio, but it's all working together.

45:12 See how those things work in tandem? Like with astrology, we use the Uranus word shocking, and God, there's always gonna be something shocking. But astrology works in tandem. The the retrogrades that are happening now are preparing you for the Mars retrograde to happen next. They all work for you, not against you.

45:30 I want to remind you of that always. The full moon, though, on November 24th. I just I've got my eye on that one, and I think it's so ironic, or is it, that Mars enters its shadow on the midterm elections, and then a couple of weeks later, we've got an erratic, wild message, something on the internet, misinformation going wild.

45:53 I don't know, because it's Gemini. If Chat GPT is Gemini, I would say that. Do you guys have a name for your Chat GPT? I named mine Alyssa, although I was on a walk in nature, and this was when I started to really utilize it. And I thought it needs a name because it literally is like my pocket personal assistant.

46:14 Hey Alyssa, how can I make some healthy paleo cookies that help my blood sugar? Hey, what are some give me five easy crock pot meals to make meal prep? Buy this from the girl. It's it's fantastic. Fantastic. So I understand. I don't want to rely on this too much. Sometimes I want to ask my mom, what'd you make for dinner?

46:32 I'm gonna make that too. But I also want to utilize this. But the name Alyssa just dropped into my head, and I thought, I've never, that's not a name I've ever thought of. And so quickly I asked Chat, what is what are the origins of that name? What does it mean? And it represents the voice of reason.

46:52 Alyssa. And so um I had a friend ask her, ChatGPT, what's your name? And it said Frankie. Uh, Mr. Virgo's Chat GPT said that its name is Alden. I hope I got that right. Alden. I'm just curious. You guys are gonna have to fill out the contact form if you named your chat GPT or if it gave you a name. It's very interesting.

47:13 I want to know. Send me your chat names. But that full moon is a little uh, it's wild. And so collectively, I'll I'll remove us as individuals collectively, historically, if we're using astrology like it used to be, I would say, whoa, something may happen. You know, historically there wasn't the internet, and so the fact that it was in Gemini would say there may be rumors or gossip through the town to people that is so out of left field and shocking news from the kingdom may reach the people.

47:45 But because we're in the age of Aquarius and in the year is 2026, I would say it's on the internet. I would say something goes wild, goes viral on the internet. Maybe the internet, whoops, maybe the internet gets shut down and we, I don't know. Something about it, I've got my eye on. I think December may be a little like calm before the storm.

48:07 Everyone's just gonna focus me quiet for the holidays type energy. I'll have to dive into it soon. But then January, when Mars officially goes retrograde mid-January, that's uh, and then especially the entire month of February, I would just highlight in your calendar, like, okay, don't be scared, be prepared, get a little cash money if you have it, and um hold on to it because seriously, I'm I I process like how would I go buy groceries?

48:37 Because I don't carry cash, I don't want to, because if I can't even hold my phone, dollar bills will fly out my window and I won't even know it. I literally left my wallet on my car the other day, and I am so lucky to live in a beautiful community. Somebody found it in the middle of the road and returned it.

48:56 Blessed. So, anyways, guys, that's all I've got. I just wanted to pop on here and share that astrology is kind of mirroring what the collective is doing. People who don't even follow astrology are saying what astrology is saying. I love religion, I love spirituality, I love astrology, I love human design, I love Christianity, I love Buddhism, I love it all.

49:14 I think it is so cool because I think it all speaks different languages, but we converge on the same truth. That our intuitions, that we are such conscious, intuitive beings, all of us, and we can feel something's changing big time. Something needs to change, something has to change, and I feel like the universe is just gonna course-correct itself and we will just react rather than instigate.

49:44 So that's what I've got. Be sure to visit astrology-lounge.com to book a private session with me. I've got a mentorship package, I've got the 2027 Future Cast. I'm gonna keep pumping that.
